Item 5.02.                                     Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Others; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Pursuant to the Executive 162(m) Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) of P&F Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), on March 29, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) approved performance goals for cash bonuses to be awarded to Richard A. Horowitz, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Joseph A. Molino, Jr., Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company for the fiscal year 2007 (the “2007 Performance Period”). These awards are intended to qualify for the exemption for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Such awards may range from 0% to 9.0% of the Company’s profits (as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement) for Mr. Horowitz and from 0% to 2.3% of the Company’s profits (as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement) for Mr. Molino with respect to the 2007 Performance Period depending upon the achievement of the performance goals described below. The Committee retains the discretion to reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the bonuses that would otherwise be payable under the Bonus Plan for the 2007 Performance Period.

For the 2007 Performance Period, the Committee established the achievement of certain target levels with respect to return on stockholder equity as the performance goal for each of Messrs. Horowitz and Molino.
