Security and Issuer Common stock of P&F Industries, Inc., 445 Broadhollow Road, Suite 100, Melville, NY 11747. ITEM 2. Identity and Background Timothy Stabosz, of 1307 Monroe Street, LaPorte, IN 46350, a natural person and United States citizen, is engaged as a private investor. He has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or other similar misdemeanors) in the last 5 years, and has not been a party to any proceedings, or subject to any judgements or enjoinments, related to violations of state or federal securities laws in his lifetime. ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Personal funds in the aggregate amount of $317,833.11 have been used to effect the purchases. No part of the purchase price represents borrowed funds. ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction Respondent is filing this Amendment No. 1 to reflect a decrease in his ownership percentage of the company's stock to 5.0%. The decrease was not something respondent had intended; however, owing to the need to meet an unforeseen margin call, respondent reduced his position in P&F (among other securities). While respondent has no intention in reducing his share position in P&F below 5% in the near future, respondent reserves the right to, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional shares in the open market or otherwise, and reserves the right to dispose of any or all of his shares in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time. Respondent remains in a process of seeking appointment to the company's board of directors, and intends further communication with the Nominating Committee, the Chairman of the Board, and the board of directors generally, with the purpose of advancing, and safeguarding, the interests of the approximate 2/3 of non-management outside shareholders. Respondent intends to report back to the entire shareholder base, in 13d amended filings, and, as should be necessary, in press releases, over the success of his efforts to increase accountability, transparency, and promote the interests of the majority outside shareholders of P&F. Other than as set forth above in this Item 4, and in the previous Schedule 13D dated September 18, 2009, the respondent has no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any other matters referred to in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer As of the close of business on November 9, 2009, respondent has sole voting and dispositive power over 180,688 shares of P&F Industries, Inc.'s common stock. According to the company's latest Form 10-Q filing, as of August 17, 2009, there were 3,614,562 common shares outstanding. Respondent is therefore deemed to own 5.0% of the company's common stock. Transactions effected by the respondent since September 14, 2009, were performed in ordinary brokerage transactions, and are indicated as follows: 10/30/09 sold 79,900 shares @ $2.858 11/02/09 bought 300 shares @ $2.95 11/04/09 bought 1000 shares @ $3.01 11/05/09 bought 1000 shares @ $2.96 11/06/09 bought 153 shares @ $2.96 11/09/09 bought 16 shares @ $2.96 ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer Not Applicable ITEM 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits Not Applicable SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
