NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Sale of Nationwide Industries, Inc.

Effective as of the Nationwide Closing Date, the Company, as part of its strategic plan to focus on expanding its position in the power-tool and accessories market, sold Nationwide. On this date, P&F, Countrywide, Nationwide and Argosy NWI Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock Purchase and Redemption Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, after giving effect to certain contributions and redemptions of Nationwide’s common shares (“Nationwide Shares”), the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding Nationwide Shares from Countrywide (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for the Nationwide Shares acquired in the Acquisition was approximately $22,200,000, before giving effect to an estimated working capital adjustment, as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement, of approximately $802,000 in favor of the Buyer. Further, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company placed into escrow $1,955,000 (“escrow funds”), of which $250,000 related to the final working capital adjustment. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the final working capital adjustment amount was determined to be approximately $75,000 in the Company’s favor. As a result, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, the $250,000 portion of the escrow funds was released to the Company, and the final working capital adjustment amount of $75,000 was paid to the Company by the Buyer. In connection with the Acquisition, Countrywide agreed that, should it sell the real property it owned in Tampa, Florida, (the “Premises”) it will contribute an additional $400,000 into the escrow funds. In November 2016, the Premises were sold, and as a result Countrywide contributed the additional $400,000 into the aforementioned escrow funds, which currently aggregate to approximately $2,105,000. After paying closing costs, the net cash received from the Buyer was approximately $18,700,000.

The escrow funds, which are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, are to be released in August 2017, less any claims made against these escrow funds, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company believes that these escrow funds are highly collectible, and that it is more likely than not that with respect to any or all such potential claims made against the Company, these claims will not exceed the minimum dollar threshold amount of $150,000 required under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has therefore included $1,705,000 of the escrow funds in its gain on sale of Nationwide. Should claims made against the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement exceed the minimum threshold, then to the extent such claims are resolved in favor of the Buyer under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the total amount of such claims will be recorded as a loss on sale of Nationwide in future periods.

As Nationwide was a substantial and unique business unit of the Company, its sale was a strategic shift. Accordingly, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company has classified Nationwide as a discontinued operation in 2016.

The net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in 2016 presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income, is comprised of the following:

	January 1, 2016
	through February 11, 2016

Revenue	$	1,830,000
Cost of goods sold		1,177,000
Gross margin		653,000
Selling and general and administrative expenses		483,000
Interest expense-net		60,000
Income before income taxes		110,000
Income taxes		38,000

Net income	$	72,000

The Company recognized a gain of $12,185,000, on the sale of Nationwide during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, which represents the difference between the adjusted net purchase price and the carrying book value of Nationwide. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 the Company incurred an additional $14,000 in expenses related to the sale. For income tax purposes, the Company’s tax basis in Nationwide was greater than the net proceeds, thus resulting in a tax loss. At the applicable tax rate of 34%, this loss has been recorded as a tax benefit of $141,000. This tax benefit may only be applied against future capital gain transactions.
