Item 8.01 Other Events

Actuant Corporation filed Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2006, requesting a 15 day extension to file its annual report on Form 10-K. The 12b-25 included the following:

 

“Actuant Corporation (the “Company”) will be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Company is continuing to evaluate its reportable segments in light of discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding the SEC’s comments solely related to the Company’s segment reporting disclosures. It is possible that the number of reportable segments as determined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, could increase. In addition, the Company is evaluating the impact of this issue on the Company's previously issued financial statements and assessment of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2006. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before November 29, 2006.

 

On September 27, 2006, we released a summary of our financial results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 via press release (the “Press Release”). We have no reason to believe that the earnings, financial position or cash flows of the Company for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006 will be different from those presented in the Press Release in any respect.”
