Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Omega Flex, Inc. 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Omega Flex, Inc. 401(K) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2011, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
1.
Plan Description
(a) Organization
The Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan and was established effective January 1, 2005 for the benefit of employees of Omega Flex, Inc. (Omega Flex or the Company) and employees of its participating subsidiaries.
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants in the Plan should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
The Plan has two components; a 401(k) account and a profit sharing account. All employees of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are eligible to participate. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), (as amended) and the Internal Revenue Code (the Code).
(b)
Participants Contributions 401(k) Account
Participating employees may contribute to the Plan after the first of the month following the beginning of their employment with the Company. Participants are subject to automatic enrollment if no contrary election is made. The automatic deferral amount is 2% of participants eligible compensation in year one and 3% beginning in the participants second year of participation. Contributions are made through payroll deductions which may range from 1% to 50% (subject to Code limitations) of such participants earnings (as defined), on a before-tax basis, an after-tax basis, (for year 2005 only), or a combination thereof. Participants who are at least age 50 or older during a Plan year may make an additional catch-up contribution up to a specified dollar amount on a before-tax basis (subject to Code limitations).
The Plan accepts eligible rollover contributions from participants. If a participant has been a participant in another qualified plan, such participants may transfer his or her eligible account balance into the Plan.
(c) Company Contributions 401(k) Account
To be eligible for a Company matching contribution, a participant must have completed one year of service.
Matching contributions made by the Company are equal to 25% of the first 6% of such participants earnings contributed to the Plan, such that there will be no matching contributions in excess of 1.5% of a participants earnings for the Plan year.
For purposes of participant contributions and matched contributions, earnings are defined by the Plan document.
(d) Company Contributions Profit Sharing Account
On an annual basis, the Company determines whether to make a discretionary Profit Sharing contribution to each eligible participants account (eligible participant is an employee that has completed one year of service), and determines the amount of such contribution. To receive Profit Sharing contributions for a given year, the participants must work at least 1,000 hours of service, as defined, during the plan year. Effective January 1, 2010 participants must be employed by the Company on the last day of the year to be eligible for the Profit Sharing contribution.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company made a contribution of 3% of each eligible participants compensation, to a maximum of $245,000 in both 2011 and 2010, as set by Section 415 of the Code. For those participants who had compensation above the Social Security Wage Base, as defined ($106,800 for both 2011 and 2010), an additional contribution of 3% of
- 4 -
Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
compensation was also made for those participants whose compensation was in excess of the Social Security Wage Base, but below the Section 415 limitation (i.e. for 2011 and 2010, a 6% contribution on compensation between $106,800 and $245,000).
(e)
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and allocations of the Companys contributions, plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant compensation or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
(f) Vesting
Participant contributions and rollover contributions, and earnings or losses thereon are fully vested at all times. Employer contributions and earnings or losses thereon are vested as follows:
Number of Years of Credited Service | Vesting Percentage |
Less than 1 year | 0% |
1 year | 0% |
2 years | 20% |
3 years | 40% |
4 years | 60% |
5 years | 80% |
6 or more years | 100% |
(g)
In-Service and Hardship Withdrawals
While a participant is employed with the Company, a participant may make withdrawals in cash of amounts applicable to participant and employer contributions and compensation or losses thereon, subject to certain restrictions. A participant can take hardship withdrawals (certain medical expenses, purchase of a principal residence, tuition payment for post-secondary education, and payments to prevent eviction from a primary residence) as defined in the plan document. A participants hardship withdrawal will preclude the participant from making additional employee before-tax contributions to the Plan for a six-month period after the hardship withdrawal. Participant before-tax contributions and matching contributions can be withdrawn after attainment of age 59 1/2.
(h)
Benefit Payments
A participants account balance under the Plan may be distributed upon retirement in one of two ways (as defined by the plan document): lump-sum distribution, or in monthly installments over the shorter of 15 years or the participants life expectancy, as elected (subject to limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code).
Upon death, disability, or termination of employment, a participant (or the participants beneficiary) with $1,000 or more in vested benefits may elect to receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the participants vested account balance. A participant with less than $1,000 in vested benefits may elect a rollover to another qualified plan. If no choice is made, the Plan will automatically payout their vested distribution in a lump-sum.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
(i)
Notes Receivable from Participants
An eligible participant may borrow up to 50 percent of the value of his or her vested before-tax and after-tax account balance, subject to a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $50,000 reduced by the excess of the participant's highest outstanding participant loan balance during the 12 previous months over the newly initiated loan balance. Loans for the purchase of a principal residence must be repaid in one to twenty years, at the participants option. Loans for all other purposes must be repaid in one to five years, at the participants option. These loans are made at the prevailing market interest rates equal to prime rate plus one percent. In 2011 and 2010, the applicable loan rates ranged from 4.25% to 9.25%. No more than one loan from the Plan to a participant shall be permitted at any time. All principal and interest payments made by the participant are credited back to the participants account.
(j)
Plan Expenses
The Company currently pays administrative expenses of the Plan, with the exception of certain asset based investment fees and loan origination fees. However, the Company has the right to charge future expenses to the Plan.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to defined contribution plans and in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 962, Plan Accounting Defined Contribution Plans, investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts. The contract is an insurance company issued general account backed group annuity contract. There are no specific securities in the general account that back the investments in this account. All transactions are at contract value, including discontinuance of the contract. Therefore, fair value is equal to contract value for this investment and no adjustment to fair value is required.
(b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting periods. These significant estimates include the fair values of investments. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
(c)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
- 6 -
Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of those investments.
(d)
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants (participant loans for Form 5500 reporting purposes) are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.
(e)
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.
(f)
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
(g)
Forfeitures
Forfeitures of terminating participants are used to pay for Plan expenses or Company match. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were $1,171 and $1,182, respectively, in allocated forfeitures available to pay Plan expenses and/or Company contributions. For the year ended December 31, 2011, $0 was used to reduce the Companys contribution and $3,510 was used to pay Plan expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, $6,894 was used to reduce the Companys contribution and $4,173 was used to pay Plan expenses.
(h)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB updated the guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The updated guidance (i) requires separate disclosure of activity in transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements, (ii) requires disclosure of Level 3 fair value measurements activity on a gross basis, (iii) clarifies existing disaggregation requirements, and (iv) clarifies existing input and valuation technique disclosure requirements. The updated guidance was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurement disclosure requirements, which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Retrospective adoption was not required. The adoption of the guidance had no effect on the Plans Financial Statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This update changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This update is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption prohibited, and requires prospective application. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on the Plans net assets available for benefits or changes in net assets available for benefits. The Plan does not expect the amendments to have an effect on the Plans Financial Statements.

3.
Fair Value Measurements
The Plan uses FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and the disclosures about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:
Level 1: | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. |
Level 2: | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| · Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; · Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; · Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; · Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
Level 3: | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The assets or liabilitys fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Omega Flex, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
As of and For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
Pooled separate accounts: | Valued under a market approach at the quoted redemption values of the participation units owned by the Plan on the last day of the Plan year based on the net asset value of the underlying investments. When available, quoted market prices are used to value the underlying investments held by the pooled separate accounts and consist primarily of certain cash equivalents and short-term investments and equity securities traded in an active exchange market. For underlying investments consisting of fixed maturities (corporate public and private bonds, most government securities, certain asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities), certain equity securities, short-term investments, certain cash equivalents and over-the-counter derivatives, valuations are generally obtained from third-party pricing services for identical or comparable assets or liabilities, non-binding broker quotes (when pricing service information is not available) or through the use of valuation methodologies using observable inputs. For underlying investments where vendor pricing is not available, internally developed valuations using one or more unobservable inputs or non-binding quotes are used to determine fair value primarily for certain private fixed maturities and equity securities, certain manually priced public equity securities and fixed maturities, including certain asset-backed securities and securities where the pooled separate account chose to override pricing information received from third parties. |
Registered investment companies: | Valued by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized exchanges. |
Omega Flex, Inc. stock fund: | Valued under a market approach at its year-end unit closing price (comprised of the year-end market price of shares of Omega Flex, Inc. common stock owned by Omega Flex, Inc. Stock Fund plus cash invested in money market fund assets.) |
Guaranteed Income Account: | Valued at contract value, which utilizes a cost approach to approximate fair value (See Note 4). Investment contracts held in the Guaranteed Income Fund of Prudential Retirement Insurance Company are credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. The Plan believes that it will be able to redeem the guaranteed income account at its contract value or equivalent in accordance with FASB ASU No 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). |

Prudential Contract
The Plan participates in the Prudential Guaranteed Income Fund (GIF), which by definition is considered to be a guaranteed investment contract, or GIC. The contract is an insurance company issued general account backed group annuity contract. There are not any specific securities in the general account that back the investments in this account. All transactions are at contract value, including discontinuance of the contract. Therefore, the difference between fair value and contract
- 11 -

value is minimal and no adjustment to fair value is deemed necessary. In certain instances when total distributions or transfers in the GIF within a calendar year exceed pre-determined thresholds, transactions in the GIF may face certain restrictions, in accordance with the contract terms. This could potentially result in the GIF not being fully benefit-responsive in certain instances.
As described in Note 2, because the guaranteed investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to guaranteed investment contract. Contract value as reported to the Plan by Prudential, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative fees. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their account balances at contract value.
Interest is credited on contract balances using a single portfolio rate approach. Under this methodology, a single interest crediting rate is applied to all contributions made to the product regardless of the timing of those contributions. Interest crediting rates are reviewed on a semi-annual basis for resetting.
When establishing interest crediting rates for this product, Prudential considers many factors, including current economic and market conditions, the general interest rate environment and both the expected and actual experience of a reference portfolio within the issuers general account. These rates are established without the use of a specific formula. The minimum credit rate under the contract is 1.50%. The average earnings yield and average credit rate for 2011 were both 2.05%. The average earnings yield and average credit rate yield for 2010 were both 2.30%.
For the period presented, the average earnings yield is calculated by dividing the earnings to the Plan on the last day of the Plan year by the end of the Plan year fair value and then annualizing the result. The average crediting rate yield is calculated by dividing the earnings credit to the participants on the last day of the Plan year by the end of the Plan year fair value and then annualizing the result. As a result of current stable value product construction, no adjustments will be required to mediate between the average earnings credited to the Plan and the average earnings credited to the participants.
Key factors that could influence future average interest crediting rate include, but are not limited to: participant directed cash flows; changes in interest rates; total return performance of the underlying contract; or default or credit failure of any of the investment contracts, or other investments held in the Plan.
(d) Pooled separate accounts
The Plan has investments in various pooled separate accounts which invest in equity, fixed income, and target date funds. The objective of those investment vehicles invested in equity investments is to approximate the risk and return characterized by various indexes; to seek long term capital appreciation; provide diversified exposure representative of various segments of the U.S. or foreign equity market; and/or to seek income. The objectives of the investment vehicles invested in fixed income is to provide investment results that approximate the overall performance of certain bond indices and/or to provide a predictable rate of return while preserving the safety of capital and minimizing market risk. The objective of the investment vehicles invested in target date funds is to provide various levels of asset allocations which become more conservative over time so participants can stay with the same fund before and after selected retirement dates. These investment vehicles are generally redeemable at net asset value under agreements with the underlying investment vehicles. However, it is possible that these redemption rights may be restricted by these investment vehicles in the future in accordance with underlying agreements.
Due to the nature of the investments held by the investment vehicles, changes in market conditions and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of the investment

vehicles, and consequently, the fair value of the Plans interest in the investment vehicles. Furthermore changes in the liquidity provisions of the funds may significantly impact the fair value of the Plans interest in the investment vehicles.

Related Party Transactions
The Omega Flex, Inc. Stock Fund holds shares of Omega Flex, Inc. common stock. The Plan also permits participant loans. In addition, the Plan invests in pooled separate accounts and a Guaranteed Income Fund managed by Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (Prudential), an affiliate of Prudential Bank & Trust, FSB.(PBT or the Trustee) Prudential is the custodian and record-keeper of the Plan. PBT is the trustee of the Plan. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
7.
Fund Management
Under the terms of a trust agreement the Plan assets are held and managed by PBT. PBT has full discretionary power over investments options in the Plan subject to the limitations thereon imposed by the investment objectives of the various funds and the provisions of ERISA. The Plan Administrator, as defined in the plan document, has full authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan.
8.
Plan Termination
The Plan has no termination date and it is the Companys current intention to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, the Company may terminate, amend, modify or suspend the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a plan termination, participants would become fully vested in the balance of their accounts and the plan assets would be distributed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
9.
Tax Status of the Plan
The Internal Revenue Service issued an advisory letter on March 31, 2008, which stated that the Volume Submitter Plan document adopted by Transamerica qualifies under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and therefore, is exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan and its related Trust have adopted this Volume Submitter Plan. The Plan has been amended since receiving the advisory letter, however the Company and Plan Administrator believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the Code and ERISA.
GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.
