NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except sharebe submitted and per share amounts)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Actuant Corporation (“Actuant,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10posted pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include allS-T (§232.405 of this chapter) during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to submit and post such files).    Yes  x    No  ¨

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is a large accelerated filer, an accelerated filer, a non-accelerated filer, or a smaller reporting company. See definition of “accelerated filer,” “large accelerated filer” and “smaller reporting company” in Rule 12b-2 of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of August 31, 2010 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2011.

Note 2. Acquisitions

The Company completed several business acquisitions during fiscal 2011 and 2010. All of these acquisitions resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements because the purchase prices reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential of the acquired companies, as well as the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations for acquisitions completed within the past twelve months and will adjust the allocations if additional information, relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses, becomes known.

On December 10, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of Mastervolt International Holding B.V. (“Mastervolt”) for $158.2 million of cash. Mastervolt, which is headquartered in The Netherlands, is a designer, developer and global supplier of highly innovative, branded power electronics, primarily for the solar and marine markets. Mastervolt expands the Electrical Segment’s geographic presence and product offerings to include additional technologies associated with the efficient conversion, control, storage and conditioning of electrical power. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $78.4 million of goodwill (which is not deductible for tax purposes) and $89.3 million of intangible assets including $43.8 million of customer relationships, $41.1 million of tradenames (indefinite life), $4.0 million of technology and $0.4 million of non-compete agreements. The customer relationships, technology and non-compete agreements will be amortized over 10-15 years, 10 years and 3 years, respectively.

During fiscal 2010, the Company completed four tuck-in acquisitions for $43.9 million of cash (net of cash acquired), $2.5 million of deferred purchase price and $4.5 million of contingent consideration. On April 9, 2010 the Company acquired Team Hydrotec, a Singapore based business that provides engineering and integrated solutions primarily to the infrastructure, energy and industrial markets. This was followed by the acquisition of Hydrospex on April 14, 2010. Headquartered in The Netherlands, Hydrospex is a leading provider of a broad range of heavy-lift technologies including strand jacks and gantries for the global infrastructure, power generation and other industrial markets. The products, technologies, engineering and geographic breadth of both Team Hydrotec and Hydrospex will further strengthen the market positions of the Industrial Segment. On April 27, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of New Jersey based Biach Industries (“Biach”), which provides custom designed bolt and stud tensioning products and services, predominately for the North American nuclear market. Biach, through its strong customer relationships, engineering expertise and customized products will broaden the product and service offerings of the Energy segment to the global power generation market. Finally, on June 11, 2010 the Company completed the acquisition of Norway based Selantic, which is included in the Energy Segment. Selantic provides custom designed high performance slings, tethers and related products for heavy lifting applications.

The preliminary purchase price allocations for fiscal 2010 acquisitions resulted in the recognition of $35.9 million of goodwill (a portion of which is deductible for tax purposes) and $18.2 million of intangible assets, including $14.5 million of customer relationships, $2.5 million of tradenames and $1.2 million of non-compete agreements and patents. The amounts assigned to customer relationships, tradenames and non-compete agreements are amortized over 15 years, 20 years and 3-5 years, respectively.

The operating results of the acquired businesses are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements only since their respective acquisition dates.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, give effect to these acquisitions as though the transactions and related financing activities had occurred on September 1, 2009 (in thousands, except per share amounts)Exchange Act.

During the six months ended February 28, 2011, the Company paid $0.3 million of deferred purchase price for an acquisition completed in a prior year. Transaction costs related to various business acquisition activities were $0.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2011 and $0.3 million in the comparable prior year period.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company committed to a plan to divest its European Electrical business (included in the Electrical Segment), which designs, manufactures and markets electrical sockets, switches and other tools and consumables predominately in the European DIY retail market. This planned divestiture was part of the Company’s portfolio management process to focus on businesses that create the most shareholder value. Weak economic conditions throughout Europe and reduced demand in the retail DIY markets, combined with the decision to divest the business, caused the Company to reduce the projected sales, operating profit and cash flows of the business, which resulted in a $36.1 million non-cash asset impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to fair value. This impairment charge was recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and consisted of $24.5 million of goodwill, $2.3 million of intangible assets and $9.3 million of property, plant and equipment and other assets. On February 28, 2011, the Company completed the sale of the business for total cash proceeds of $3.5 million, net of transaction costs. As a result of the sale transaction, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of $13.7 million, including an $11.4 million charge to cover future lease payments on an unfavorable real estate lease of the divested business.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company divested a product line of the European Electrical business for $7.5 million of cash proceeds, which resulted in a net pre-tax gain on disposal of $0.3 million. The results of operations for the European Electrical business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note 4. Restructuring

During fiscal 2010 and 2009, the Company committed to various restructuring initiatives (due to the global economic downturn) including workforce reductions, plant consolidations, the transfer of production and product sourcing to lower cost plants or regions and the centralization of certain administrative functions. These restructuring actions were substantially completed by August 31, 2010, with limited restructuring charges expected in fiscal 2011. Total restructuring costs recognized, which impact all reportable segments, are as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets listed above was $6.9 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $10.8 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will approximate $13.2 million for the remainder of fiscal 2011. Amortization expense for future years is estimated at $25.9 million in fiscal 2012, $24.1 million in fiscal 2013, $23.2 million in fiscal 2014, $23.1 million in fiscal 2015 and $174.7 million thereafter. These future amortization expense amounts represent estimates, which may change based on future acquisitions, changes in foreign currency exchange rates or other factors.

The gross carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets that have indefinite lives (and are therefore not subject to amortization) as of February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010 are $137.8 million and $126.6 million, respectively. Changes in indefinite lived intangible assets are due to the impact of foreign exchange currency rates, acquisition and divestiture activities and the reclassification of certain tradenames to amortizable intangibles.

Note 6. Accounts Receivable Securitization

Historically, the Company was a party to an accounts receivable securitization program pursuant to which it sold certain of its trade accounts receivable to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sold participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third party financial institution. The Company did not renew the securitization program on its September 9, 2009 maturity date and as a result, utilized availability under the Senior Credit Facility to fund the corresponding $37.1 million increase in accounts receivable.

Note 7. Product Warranty Costs

The Company recognizes the cost associated with its product warranties at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on sales, historical claims rates and current claim cost experience.

        On February 23, 2011, the Company amended and extended its Senior Credit Facility, extending its maturity to February 23, 2016 and increasing total capacity from $400 million to $700 million. The amended Senior Credit Facility provides a $600 million revolving credit facility, a $100 million term loan and a $300 million expansion option. Borrowings are subject to a pricing grid, which can result in increases or decreases to the borrowing spread, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% in the case of loans bearing interest at LIBOR and from 0.25% to 1.25% in the case of loans bearing interest at the base rate. At February 28, 2011, the borrowing spread on LIBOR based borrowings was 2.00% (aggregating to 2.31% on outstanding revolving credit and term loan borrowings). In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver ranging from 0.2% to 0.4% per annum. At February 28, 2011 the unused credit line under the revolver was $557.5 million, of which $394.7 million was available for borrowings. The new $100 million term loan will be repaid in quarterly installments of $1.25 million starting on March 31, 2012, increasing to $2.5 million per quarter beginning on March 31, 2013, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The Senior Credit Facility, which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic personal property assets, also contains customary limits and restrictions concerning investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, dividends and other payments. The two financial covenants included in the Senior Credit Facility agreement are a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75:1 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50:1. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at February 28, 2011.

On June 12, 2007, the Company issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) at an approximate $1.0 million discount, generating net proceeds of $249.0 million. The Senior Notes were issued at a price of 99.607% to yield 6.93%, and require no principal installments prior to their June 15, 2017 maturity. The $1.0 million initial issuance discount is being amortized through interest expense over the 10 year life of the Senior Notes. Semiannual interest payments on the Senior Notes are due in December and June of each year.

In November 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due November 15, 2023 (the “2% Convertible Notes”). Since 2003, the Company repurchased (for cash) $32.2 million of 2% Convertible Notes at an average price of 99.3% of par value. The remaining $117.8 million of 2% Convertible Notes, are convertible into 5,967,662 shares of Company’s Class A common stock at a conversion rate of 50.6554 shares per $1,000 of principal amount, which equates to a conversion price of approximately $19.74 per share. The 2% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.0% annually which is payable on November 15 and May 15 of each year. Beginning with the six-month interest period commencing November 15, 2010, holders will receive contingent interest if the trading price of the 2% Convertible Notes equals or exceeds 120% of their underlying principal amount over a specified trading period. If payable, the contingent interest shall equal 0.25% per six month interest period of the average trading price of the 2% Convertible Notes during the five days immediately preceding the applicable six month interest period.

Effective November 2010, the Company may redeem all or part of the 2% Convertible Notes for cash at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. In addition, holders of the 2% Convertible Notes have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their 2% Convertible Notes for cash on November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2018, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued interest. Holders may also convert their 2% Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock prior to the scheduled maturity date.

Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company provides pension benefits to certain employees of acquired domestic businesses, who were entitled to those benefits prior to acquisition, as well as certain employees of foreign businesses. Most of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans are frozen, and as a result, the majority of the plan participants no longer earn additional benefits, while participants in most non-U.S. defined benefit plans continue to earn benefits. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, the Company recognized a net periodic pension benefit cost of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the similar prior year periods.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurement

In accordance with ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company assesses the inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company has no financial assets or liabilities that are recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows (in thousands):

   February 28, 2011   August 31, 2010 

Level 1 Valuation:

    

Cash equivalents

  $2,400    $5,092  

Investments

   1,563     1,313  

Level 2 Valuation:

    

Fair value of derivative instruments

  $101    $207  

The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings and variable rate long-term debt approximated book value as of February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010 due to their short-term nature and the fact that the applicable interest rates approximated market rates of interest. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding $117.8 million 2% Convertible Notes at February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010, was $169.1 million and $126.4 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding $250.0 million of Senior Notes at February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010 was $257.5 million and $252.5 million, respectively. The fair values of the 2% Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were based on quoted market prices.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are higher or lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, permanent items, state income taxes and the ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. The Company adjusts the quarterly provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate and facts and circumstances known at the end of each interim reporting period.

The effective income tax rate was 21.8% and 21.1% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, and 20.4% and 23.6% for the comparable prior year periods. The lower effective income tax rates for 2011, reflect higher foreign tax credit utilization and increased taxable earnings in foreign jurisdictions (with statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate).

The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, increased from $28.2 million at August 31, 2010 to $28.4 million at February 28, 2011. Substantially all of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would reduce the effective income tax rate. In addition, as of February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010, the Company had liabilities totaling $5.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, for accrued interest and penalties related to its unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 13. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Note 14. Segment Information

The Company is a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and systems and is organized into four reportable segments: Industrial, Energy, Electrical and Engineered Solutions. The Industrial Segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools to the maintenance, industrial, infrastructure and production automation markets. The Energy Segment provides joint integrity products and services, as well as umbilical, rope and cable solutions to the global oil & gas, power generation and energy markets. The Electrical Segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of a broad range of electrical products to the retail DIY, wholesale, OEM, solar, utility and harsh environment markets. The Engineered Solutions Segment provides highly engineered position and motion control systems to OEMs in various vehicle markets, as well as a variety of other industrial products.

The following tables summarize financial information by reportable segment and product line (in thousands):

In addition to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the comparability of segment and product line information is impacted by acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring costs and related benefits. Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent capitalized debt issuance costs, deferred income taxes and the fair value of derivative instruments.

Note 15. Contingencies and Litigation

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $9.1 million at both February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010, the majority of which secure self-insured workers compensation liabilities.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, environmental, labor, insurance, patent claims and divestiture disputes. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the balance sheet date, can be reasonably estimated and is not covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company, in the normal course of business, enters into certain real estate and equipment leases or guarantees such leases on behalf of its subsidiaries. In conjunction with the spin-off of a former subsidiary in fiscal 2000, the Company assigned its rights in the leases used by the former subsidiary, but was not released as a responsible party from all such leases by the lessors. All of these businesses were subsequently sold. The Company remains contingently liable for those leases if any of these businesses are unable to fulfill their obligations thereunder. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases was $3.2 million at February 28, 2011.

The Company has facilities in numerous geographic locations that are subject to a range of environmental laws and regulations. Environmental costs that have no future economic value are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental remediation is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable. Environmental expenditures over the last two years have not been material. Management believes that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 16. Guarantor Subsidiaries

On June 12, 2007, Actuant Corporation (the “Parent”) issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes. All of the Company’s material domestic 100% owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) fully and unconditionally guarantee the 6.875% Senior Notes on a joint and several basis. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Parent. The following tables present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Actuant Corporation and its subsidiaries, the Guarantor and non-Guarantor entities, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis.

Certain assets, liabilities and expenses have not been allocated to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors and therefore are included in the Parent column in the accompanying consolidating financial statements. These items are of a corporate or consolidated nature and include, but are not limited to, tax provisions and related assets and liabilities, certain employee benefit obligations, prepaid and accrued insurance and corporate indebtedness. Intercompany activity in the consolidating financial statements primarily includes loan activity, purchases and sales of goods or services and dividends. Intercompany balances also reflect certain non-cash transactions including transfers of assets and liabilities between the Parent, Guarantor and non-Guarantor, allocation of non-cash expenses from the Parent to the Guarantors and non-Guarantors, the impact of foreign currency rate changes and non-cash intercompany dividends.

Certain revisions have been made to correct the prior year presentation of parent, guarantor and non-guarantor operating, investing and financing cash flows (related entirely to the classification of changes in intercompany payables/receivables within the consolidating statement of cash flows) to conform to the current year presentation. The revisions decreased parent and non-guarantor cash flow from operating activities by $0.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, and increased guarantor cash flow from operating activities by $8.9 million in fiscal 2010. Consolidated prior year cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities have not changed.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Actuant Corporation, headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is a Wisconsin corporation incorporated in 1910. We are a global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and systems. We are organized into four operating and reportable segments as follows: Industrial, Energy, Electrical and Engineered Solutions.

The Industrial segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and mechanical tools to the maintenance, industrial, infrastructure and production automation markets. The Energy segment provides joint integrity products and services, as well as umbilical, rope and cable solutions to the global oil & gas, power generation and energy markets. The Electrical segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of a broad range of electrical products to the retail DIY, wholesale, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), solar, utility and harsh environment markets. The Engineered Solutions segment provides highly engineered position and motion control systems to OEMs in various vehicle markets, as well as a variety of other industrial products.

Our long-term goal is to grow annual diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), excluding unusual or non-recurring items, faster than most multi-industry peers. We intend to leverage our leading market positions to generate annual internal sales growth that exceeds the annual growth rates of the gross domestic product in the geographic regions in which we operate. In addition to internal sales growth, we are focused on acquiring complementary businesses. Following an acquisition, we seek to drive cost reductions, develop additional cross-selling opportunities and deepen customer relationships. We also focus on profit margin expansion and cash flow generation to achieve our financial and EPS growth goals. Our LEAD (“Lean Enterprise Across Disciplines”) process utilizes various continuous improvement techniques to drive out costs and improve efficiencies across all locations and functions worldwide, thereby expanding profit margins. We recently expanded our LEAD efforts to include Growth and Innovation, a new process focused on growing our sales faster. Strong cash flow generation is achieved by maximizing returns on assets and minimizing primary working capital needs. The cash flow that results from efficient asset management and improved profitability is used to reduce debt and fund additional acquisitions and internal growth opportunities.

The comparability of the operating results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 to the prior year periods has been impacted by acquisitions, divestitures, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the economic conditions that exist in the end markets we serve. Listed below are the acquisitions completed since September 1, 2009.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company has withdrawn its Request for Confidential Treatment with respect to the specific portions of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 19, 2011 by and among ASCP-Weasler Holdings LLC, ASCP-Weasler Holdings, Inc., Weasler Engineering, Inc. and the Company (the “Agreement”), and is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011 (the “Initial Report”) to replace the redacted version of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Initial Report with the unredacted copy of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto. This Amendment No. 1 also includes an updated exhibit list and currently dated certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 hereto. This Amendment No. 1 does not change the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements only since their respective acquisition date. In addition to acquisitions,or make any other changes in foreign currency exchange rates also influence our financial results as approximately half of our sales are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The year-over-year strengthening of the U.S. dollar during the first half of fiscal 2011 has unfavorably impacted our operating results due to the translation of non-U.S. dollar denominated results. Restructuring costsInitial Report and the related benefits from previously completed projects also impact the comparability of quarterly results. In both fiscal 2009 and 2010,should be read in response to the global economic downturn, we took actions to address our cost structure, including workforce reductions, consolidation of facilities and the centralization of certain selling and administrative functions. The majority of our restructuring actions were completed in fiscal 2010.

Results of Operations

Results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 reflected positive sales trends and year-over-year operating profit margin expansion driven by increased production volumes, favorable product mix and the benefits of previously completed restructuring actions. The following is a summary of the key developments and trends in each of our segments:

Industrial Segment: Despite the second quarter being our seasonally weakest quarter for the Industrial segment, strong core sales (sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency rate changes) trends continued with core sales growth of 15% during the quarter (the segment’s fourth consecutive quarter with double digit core sales growth). The increased sales were driven by robust global demand across nearly all geographic regions, as orders continued to outpace sales. This segment continues to focus on driving increased sales through the introduction of new products, market share gains (penetration into emerging markets and geographies) and strategic acquisitions. Second quarter operating margins remained strong due to the increased sales level, a reduced cost structure and benefits of previously completed restructuring activities.

Energy Segment: Being a later cycle business, our Energy segment was the last of our four segments to recover from the global recession and has returned to positive core sales growth in fiscal 2011. The positive core sales trend in the second quarter (5% core sales growth) was driven by improved end market demand and increased activity levels in emerging markets. We expect the Energy segment year-over-year core sales trend to improve during the remainder of fiscal 2011 based on increased quoting activity. Operating margins, excluding restructuring costs, improved year-over-year due to the core sales growth and favorable acquisition mix.

Electrical Segment: Continued softness in retail DIY, commercial construction and electric utility markets impacted the core sales trend in the Electrical segment during the quarter – resulting in a core sales decline of 2%. While operating margins improved sequentially, the lower sales levels, coupled with higher commodity costs, negatively impacted year-over year comparisons of second quarter operating margins. The completion of the Mastervolt acquisition and divestiture of the European Electrical business during the quarter repositioned the Electrical segment’s sales and profits into higher growth markets.

Engineered Solutions Segment: The Engineered Solutions segment core sales growth was 25% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which continued the recent trend of double digit quarterly core sales growth. The strong demand from global heavy-duty truck, agriculture, construction equipment and defense markets resulted in higher sales levels. A reduced cost structure from previously completed restructuring actions and the additional sales volumes improved absorption of manufacturing costs and resulted in significant year-over-year improvement in operating margins (excluding restructuring costs).

The following table sets forth our results of operations, for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

Net sales increased 24% to $331 million for the second quarter and 20% to $649 million for the six months ended February 28, 2011, compared to $267 million and $540 million for the same three and six-month periods in the prior year. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates had a minimal impact on second quarter sales levels and adversely impacted the comparison by $5 million on a year-to-date basis. Sales generated by businesses acquired since September 1, 2009 were $30 million and $44 million, respectively, for the three and six months period ended February 28, 2011. Consolidated core sales growth was 13% in both the second quarter and year-to-date. The increased sales levels were driven by broad based improvement in the Company’s served markets, with positive core sales growth in three of the four segments. The changes in net sales at the segment level are discussed in further detail below.

Operating profit was $37 million and $79 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, compared to $18 million and $44 million in the respective prior year periods. This year-over-year improvement was mainly driven by increased sales and production levels, favorable product mix as well as an improved cost structure. In addition, the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2010 included restructuring charges of $9 million and $11 million, respectively. The changes in operating profit at the segment level are discussed in further detail below.

Industrial Segment

Compared to the prior year, fiscal 2011 second quarter Industrial segment net sales increased by $20 million (28%) to $89 million, while year-to-date net sales increased by $42 million (31%) to $176 million. Acquisitions of Integrated Solutions businesses contributed $9 million and $17 million of net sales in the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2011. Excluding sales from these acquired businesses and the negative impact of foreign currency rate changes, core sales growth for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was 15% and 19%, respectively. The improved sales levels results from robust demand across most markets and geographies, reflecting improved global economic conditions.

Energy Segment

Energy segment net sales for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 increased by $8 million (14%) and $14 million (12%), respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Excluding sales from the Selantic and Biach acquisitions and foreign currency rate changes (which unfavorably impacted sales comparisons by $1 million in the first half of fiscal 2011), core sales grew 4% and 5% for the first quarter and first half of fiscal 2011, respectively. This core sales growth resulted from increased quoting and sales activity, primarily in oil and gas markets, and improved seismic and umbilical end market demand.

Electrical Segment

Electrical segment net sales increased by $15 million (28%) from $55 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 to $70 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011. During the six months ended February 28, 2011, Electrical segment net sales increased by $17 million (15%) to $126 million. Mastervolt sales were $17 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011. Excluding sales from this acquisition and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, core sales declined 2% for the three months ended February 28, 2011, the result of lower demand from retail electrical customers and construction markets, both reflecting continued weak consumer confidence.

Engineered Solutions Segment

Engineered Solutions segment net sales increased by $21 million (23%), from $89 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 to $110 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011. During the six months ended February 28, 2011, Engineered Solutions net sales also increased by $36 million (20%) from $179 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 to $215 million in fiscal 2011. Foreign currency rate changes negatively impacted sales comparisons for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 by $1 million and $4 million, respectively. Excluding foreign currency rate changes, core sales growth was 25% and 23%, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2011. This core sales improvement reflects strong demand from global vehicle OEMs serving the heavy-duty truck, agriculture, construction equipment and defense markets.

Industrial Segment

Industrial segment results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 included $5 million of restructuring costs. Excluding restructuring costs, Industrial segment operating profit increased by $4 million (27%) to $20 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 from $16 million in the prior year period, while first half operating profit increased by $11 million (36%) to $40 million. This growth reflects increased sales levels as well as restructuring related savings, which were partially offset by unfavorable acquisition mix and higher incentive compensation.

Energy Segment

Increased sales levels, favorable acquisition mix and a $2 million reduction in restructuring expenses were the primary drivers for the improved operating profit in the Energy segment during fiscal 2011. Operating profit increased to $7 million for the second quarter and $19 million for the first half of fiscal 2011. The year-over-year operating profit expansion also reflects the benefits of previously completed restructuring actions and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense.

Electrical Segment

Electrical segment operating profit for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 increased $1 million and $2 million, respectively, primarily as a result of prior year periods including restructuring charges. Excluding the $1 million and $3 million of restructuring costs in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2010, operating profits declined as a result of expedited freight costs, commodity cost inflation, investments in growth initiatives and temporary inefficiencies as we completed facility consolidations. Mastervolt, which was acquired during the quarter, did not meaningfully impact second quarter operating profit.

Engineered Solutions Segment

Engineered Solutions segment operating profit was $13 million and $27 million for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2011. The improvement in operating profit during the quarter and first half of fiscal 2011 was due to increased sales and production levels and the benefits of previously completed restructuring activities. Year-to-date and second quarter 2011 operating profit comparisons were also favorably impacted by $2 million of restructuring costs in the prior year.

General Corporate

General corporate expenses for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 increased $3 million (44%) and $4 million (33%), respectively, due to the reinstatement of prior year wage and benefit reductions, investments in growth initiatives, transaction costs for business acquisitions and increased long-term incentive plan costs.

Restructuring Charges

We completed the majority of our restructuring actions by August 31, 2010. We believe that our restructuring activities (primarily workforce reductions, plant consolidations and the centralization of certain selling and administrative functions) better align our resources with strategic growth opportunities, optimize existing manufacturing capabilities, improve our overall cost structure and deliver increased free cash flow and profitability. Refer to Note 4, “Restructuring” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Financing Costs, net

All debt is considered to be for general corporate purposes and therefore financing costs have not been allocated to our reportable segments. The $0.4 million and $0.5 million year-over-year increase in financing costs for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, reflects higher average debt levels as a result of the Mastervolt acquisition, partially offset by lower interest rates on variable rate debt.

Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rate was 21.8% and 21.1% for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, and 20.4% and 23.6% for the comparable prior year periods. The lower effective income tax rates for 2011 reflect higher foreign tax credit utilization and increased taxable earnings in foreign jurisdictions (with statutory tax rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate).

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):

In the first half of fiscal 2011 we utilized cash from operating activities and borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility to fund the $158 million of cash used in the Mastervolt acquisition. We generated $20 million of cash from operating activities, reflecting improved earnings from continuing operations, a build in working capital to support business growth, and the payment of fiscal 2010 employee incentive compensation.

Primary Working Capital Management

We use primary working capital as a percentage of sales (“PWC %”) as a key indicator of working capital management efficiency. We define this metric as the sum of net accounts receivable and net inventory less accounts payable, divided by the past three months sales annualized. The following table shows the components of the metric (in millions):

   February 28,
2011
  PWC%  February 28,
2010
  PWC% 

Accounts receivable, net

  $220    16 $175    16

Accounts payable

   (146  -11  (108  -10
                 

Net primary working capital

  $270    20 $205    19
                 

Our net primary working capital percentage increased modestly year-over-year from 19% to 20%, primarily due to the Mastervolt acquisition and a conscious effort to increase inventory in certain businesses to meet growing customer demand.

Liquidity

The Senior Credit Facility, which was amended and extended during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, includes a $600 million revolving credit line and a $100 million term loan. At February 28, 2011, the borrowing spread on LIBOR based borrowings was 2.00% on outstanding revolving credit and term loan borrowings. There are no required principal repayments under the term loan until March 31, 2012. At February 28, 2011, we had $40 million of cash and cash equivalents, over $550 million of unused capacity and $395 million of availability under the revolver. We believe that this availability combined with our existing cash on hand and operating cash flows will be adequate to meet operating, debt service, acquisition funding and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

Holders of our 2% Convertible Notes have the option to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2% Convertible Notes for cash on November 15, 2013 and November 15, 2018 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2% Convertible Notes, plus accrued interest. Holders may also convert their 2% Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock prior to the scheduled maturity date. Effective November 2010, we may redeem all or part of the 2% Convertible Notes for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

See Note 8, “Debt” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the 2% Convertible Notes and Senior Credit Facility.

Commitments and Contingencies

We lease certain facilities, computers, equipment and vehicles under various operating lease agreements, generally over periods from one to twenty years. Under most arrangements, we pay the property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased property. Many of the leases include provisions that enable us to renew the lease based upon fair value rental rates on the date of expiration of the initial lease.

In the normal course of business we have entered into certain real estate and equipment leases or have guaranteed such leases on behalf of our subsidiaries. In conjunction with the spin-off of a former subsidiary in fiscal 2000, we assigned our rightsInitial Report. The Company has not updated the disclosures contained in the leases used byInitial Report to reflect any events that have occurred after the former subsidiary, but were not released as a responsible party from all such leases byfiling date of the lessors. All of these businesses were subsequently sold. We remain contingently liable for those leases if any of these businesses are unable to fulfill their obligations thereunder. The discounted present value of future minimum lease payments for these leases was $3.2 million at February 28, 2011.

We had outstanding letters of credit of $9.1 million at February 28, 2011 and August 31, 2010, the majority of which secure self-insured workers compensation liabilities.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations are discussed in Part 1, Item 2 , “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Contractual Obligations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010. Our contractual obligations have not materially changed since that report was filed, except with respect to borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility, which was amended and extended on February 23, 2011. Refer to Note 8 “Debt” in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on scheduled debt maturities.Initial Report.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the six months ended February 28, 2011. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
