NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share 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 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all 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, 2007 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in its fiscal 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2007 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. Except as otherwise described, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2008.
On October 18, 2007, the Company announced that its board of directors had approved a two-for-one stock split of its Class A common stock payable on November 8, 2007 to shareholders of record on October 29, 2007. The split was in the form of a stock dividend. All prior periods presentation have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.
Prior year Condensed Financial Statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to current year presentations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company made an organizational change involving its Milwaukee Cylinder business unit, which resulted in it moving from the Engineered Products segment to the Industrial segment.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155,“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, which amends SFAS No.’s 133 and 140, and improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments by requiring more consistent accounting that eliminates exemptions and provides a means to simplify the accounting for these instruments. Specifically, SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 on September 1, 2007 did not have any impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the way companies are to account for uncertainty in income tax reporting and filing and prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement attribute for recognizing, derecognizing, and measuring the tax benefits of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 on September 1, 2007 increased the amount recorded by the Company for uncertain tax positions by approximately $9.4 million. This increase was recorded as an adjustment to fiscal 2008 opening retained earnings (See Note 12).
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”.This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option permits a company to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A company will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings after adoption. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for us beginning in fiscal 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 159 could have on our consolidated financial statements.
4
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). The objective of SFAS No. 141(R) is to improve the information provided in financial reports about a business combination and its effects. SFAS No. 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires the acquirer to recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and how to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. The objective of SFAS No. 160 is to improve the financial information provided in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation, requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interest of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s 2010 fiscal year. We are currently assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Acquisitions
The Company completed one business acquisition during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and five business acquisitions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, all of which resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3. Restructuring Reserves
The Company initiated plans to restructure its European Electrical product line within the Electrical segment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. These plans were designed to reduce operating costs and improve profitability. To date, the Company has recorded pre-tax restructuring provisions totaling $15.8 million and expects to recognize an additional $4.0 to 5.0 million of similar pre-tax costs by the end of the second quarter, when the restructuring is expected to be completed.
A rollforward of the European Electrical restructuring reserve follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
Accrued restructuring costs as of August 31, 2007 | | $ | 2,150 | |
Restructuring charges | | | 5,521 | |
Cash restructuring payments | | | (971 | ) |
Product line management and rationalization | | | (743 | ) |
Foreign currency impact | | | 181 | |
| | | | |
Accrued restructuring costs as of November 30, 2007 | | $ | 6,138 | |

Note 4. Accounts Receivable Securitization
The Company maintains an accounts receivable securitization program whereby it sells certain of its trade accounts receivable to a wholly owned, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary which, in turn, sells participating interests in its pool of receivables to a third-party financial institution (the “Purchaser”). The Purchaser receives an ownership and security interest in the pool of receivables. New receivables are purchased by the special purpose subsidiary and participation interests are resold to the Purchaser as collections reduce previously sold participation interests. The Company has retained collection and administrative responsibilities on the participation interests sold. The Purchaser has no recourse against the Company for uncollectible receivables; however, the Company’s retained interest in the receivable pool is subordinate to the Purchaser and is recorded at fair value. Due to a short average collection cycle of approximately 60 days for such accounts receivable and the Company’s collection history, the fair value of the Company’s retained interest approximates book value. Book value of accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the gross accounts receivable retained interest less a reserve for doubtful accounts, which is calculated based on a review of the specific receivable issues and supplemented by a general reserve based on past collection history. The retained interest recorded at November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007 was $48.0 million and $47.2 million, respectively, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The securitization program has a final maturity in May 2008, subject to annual renewal by the Purchaser. The Company amended its securitization program in May 2007 to increase capacity from $60 million to $65 million. Trade accounts receivables sold and being serviced by the Company totaled $61.4 million and $56.5 million at November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, respectively.
Sales of trade receivables from the special purpose subsidiary totaled $114.0 million and $103.1 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash collections of trade accounts receivable balances in the total receivable pool (including both sold and retained portions) totaled $196.1 million and $170.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The accounts receivables securitization program is accounted for as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities – A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” Sales of trade receivables are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table provides additional information about delinquencies and net credit losses for trade accounts receivable subject to the accounts receivable securitization program.

As discussed in Note 13, during the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a segment reporting change was made involving the Company’s Milwaukee Cylinder business unit. This resulted in a $4.7 million reclassification of goodwill between the Engineered Products and Industrial segments which is reflected in the August 31, 2007 balances above.
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets that have defined useful lives and are subject to amortization as of November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | November 30, 2007 | | August 31, 2007 |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The gross carrying amount of the Company’s intangible assets that have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization as of November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007 are $126.5 million and $123.8 million, respectively. These assets are comprised of acquired tradenames.
The increase in the gross carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets is the result of an acquisition completed in the current fiscal year and the impact of foreign currency rates. See Note 2, “Acquisitions” for additional details.
Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets listed above was $3.3 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will approximate $10.2 million for the remainder of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. Amortization expense for future years is estimated to be as follows: $13.5 million in fiscal 2009, $13.3 million in fiscal 2010, $12.7 million in 2011, $12.5 million in fiscal 2012, $11.4 million in fiscal 2013, and $80.7 million thereafter.
Note 6. Accrued Product Warranty Costs
The Company recognizes the cost associated with its product warranties at the time of sale. The amount recognized is based on historical claims rates and current claim cost experience. The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued product warranty during the three months ended November 30, 2007 and 2006:

Note 7. Debt
The Company’s indebtedness, as of November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | November 30, 2007 | | | August 31, 2007 | |

Convertible senior subordinated debentures (“2% Convertible Notes”), due 2023 | | | 150,000 | | | | 150,000 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total debt, excluding short-term borrowings | | | 573,434 | | | | 561,657 | |
Less: current maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings | | | (167 | ) | | | (519 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Total long-term debt, less current maturities | | $ | 573,267 | | | $ | 561,138 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Company’s senior credit facility, as amended, provides for $155.0 million of term loans in addition to a $250.0 million revolver. The term loans mature on December 22, 2009 while the revolver matures on February 19, 2009. At November 30, 2007, the remaining $155.0 million outstanding term loans carried an interest rate of 6.534%, which represented LIBOR plus a 1.0% borrowing spread. All senior credit facility borrowings are subject to a pricing grid, which can result in further increases or decreases to the borrowing spread on a quarterly basis, depending on the Company’s debt to EBIDTA leverage ratios. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the revolver. At November 30, 2007, the non-use fee was 0.20%. The senior credit facility contains customary limits and restrictions concerning investments, sales of assets, liens on assets, fixed charge coverage ratios, maximum leverage, dividends and other restricted payments. As of November 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
There were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding at November 30, 2007. Total commercial paper outstanding cannot exceed $100.0 million under the terms of the senior credit facility. The revolver provides the liquidity backstop for outstanding commercial paper. Given the long term nature of the revolver backstop, all outstanding commercial paper is classified as a component of long-term debt. The combined outstanding balance of the revolver and any outstanding commercial paper cannot exceed $250.0 million. The unused and available credit line under the revolver at November 30, 2007 was approximately $250.0 million.
On June 12, 2007, the Company issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes (the “6.875% 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 approximate $1.0 million initial issuance discount is being amortized through interest expense over the 10 year life of the Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the 6.875% Senior Notes were used to reduce the outstanding term loans under the senior credit facility from $400.0 million to $155.0 million.
Note 8. Derivatives
All derivatives are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value. On the date it enters into a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value” hedge), a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), or a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualify as a fair value hedge are recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the underlying hedged asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. Changes in the fair value of a derivative used to hedge the net investment in a foreign operation are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income accounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On October 9, 2007, the Company terminated its $100 million aggregate notional value floating to fixed interest rate swaps, in order to reduce the mix of its fixed rate debt to total debt. The Company received $1.4 million on the termination as payment for full settlement of the fair value, which is being amortized over the remaining life of the original contracts.
9
In August 2006, the Company entered into cross-currency interest rate swap agreements (the “agreements”) between the U.S. dollar and the euro to hedge its net investment in European subsidiaries. In May 2007, the Company entered into further cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to hedge additional exposure on its net investments in European subsidiaries. The cross-currency interest rate swap agreements have a total notional value of €125.0 million and a maturity date of November 30, 2009. As of November 30, 2007 and 2006, the weakening of the US dollar caused the cross-currency interest rate swaps to be in an unrealized loss position in the amount of $19.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which is included with long-term debt.
While the Company regularly hedges certain commodity risks, the fair value of such contracts were not significant at November 30, 2007.
Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits to certain employees of domestic businesses it acquired that were entitled to those benefits prior to acquisition. At November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, the defined benefit plans consisted of three plans. Most of the domestic defined benefit pension plans are frozen, and as a result, the majority of the plan participants no longer earn additional benefits. The postretirement medical plans consist of four plans, all of which are unfunded. Two of the plans require individuals receiving medical benefits under the plan to make contributions to defray a portion of the cost, and these retiree contributions are adjusted annually. The other two plans do not require retiree contributions.
The Company also maintains nine separate defined benefit pension plans for certain non-US employees. Unlike existing U.S. pension plans, future benefits are earned with respect to the foreign plans.
Components of net periodic benefit costs were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended November 30, | |

The Company contributed approximately $1.6 million of cash and 120,000 shares of its common stock to various pension plans during the three months ended November 30, 2007. The Company does not anticipate making any significant contributions for the balance of fiscal 2008.

Diluted Earnings Per Share: | | $ | 0.43 | | $ | 0.41 |
| | | | | | |
Note 11. 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, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company does business, and its ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended November 30, 2007, was 35.6% compared to 31.2% during the three months ended November 30, 2006. The effective income tax rate was higher in the three months ended November 30, 2007 primarily as a result of the restructuring charges for which tax benefits were fully reserved with valuation allowances.
As of September 1, 2007, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 as a decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings, as follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
Retained earnings at August 31, 2007 | | $ | 825,165 | |
Impact of adoption of FIN 48 | | | (9,408 | ) |
| | | | |
Retained earnings at September 1, 2007 | | $ | 815,757 | |
| | | | |
The amount of unrecognized tax benefit after the FIN 48 adjustment was $20.8 million. Of the unrecognized tax benefit, $19.9 million relates to unrecognized tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate of the Company. The Company does not expect any uncertain tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions for years before fiscal year 2003. The Company charges interest and penalties, in relation to unrecognized tax benefits, in the provision for income taxes.
Note 12. Segment Information
The Company is a manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and systems and is organized into four reportable segments: Industrial, Electrical, Actuation Systems, and Engineered Products.
The Industrial segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture, and distribution of branded hydraulic tools to the industrial, oil & gas, power generation, construction, and production automation markets. Industrial also provides manpower services and tool rental to the global joint integrity market. The Electrical segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture, and distribution of electrical tools and supplies to the retail electrical wholesale, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), and marine markets. The Actuation Systems segment primarily focuses on developing and marketing highly engineered position and motion control systems for OEMs in the recreational vehicle, automotive, truck, and other industrial markets. The Engineered Products segment designs and manufactures various industrial products for industrial markets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the
11
Company made an organizational change involving its Milwaukee Cylinder business unit, which resulted in it moving from the Engineered Products segment to the Industrial segment. All segment information has been adjusted to reflect this change. The Company evaluates segment performance based primarily on net sales and operating profit and has not aggregated individual operating segments due to the similar economic characteristics of the businesses.
The following tables summarize financial information by reportable segment.

In addition to the impact of foreign currency rate changes, the comparability of the segment and product line data is impacted by the acquisitions discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions”.
Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent capitalized debt issuance costs, deferred income taxes, the fair value of derivative instruments and the retained interest in trade accounts receivable (subject to the accounts receivable program discussed in Note 4. “Accounts Receivable Securitization”).
12
Note 13. Contingencies and Litigation
The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $6.5 million at November 30, 2007 and August 31, 2007, respectively. The letters of credit 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, 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 and such loss can be reasonably estimated. 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 such leases totals, assuming no offset for sub-leasing, approximately $6.1 million at November 30, 2007. The future undiscounted minimum lease payments for these leases are as follows: $0.3 million in the balance of calendar 2007, $1.1 million in calendar 2008 through 2010, $1.2 million in calendar 2011; and $4.9 million thereafter.
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 three 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 14. Guarantor Subsidiaries
On June 12, 2007, Actuant Corporation (the “Parent”) issued $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes (the “6.875% Senior Notes”). All of our 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 condensed 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.
General corporate expenses have not been allocated to subsidiaries, and are all included under the Parent heading. As a matter of course, the Company retains certain assets and liabilities at the corporate level (Parent column in the following tables) which are not allocated to subsidiaries including, but not limited to, certain employee benefit, insurance, financing, and tax liabilities. Income tax provisions for domestic Actuant Corporation subsidiaries are typically recorded using an estimate and finalized in total with an adjustment recorded at the Parent level. Net sales reported for each of the headings only includes sales to third parties; sales between entities are not significant. Additionally, substantially all of the indebtedness of the Company has historically been, and continues to be, carried at the corporate level and is therefore included in the Parent column in the following tables. Substantially all accounts receivable of the Parent and Guarantors are sold into the accounts receivable program described in Note 4. “Accounts Receivable Securitization”. Allowances for doubtful accounts remains recorded at the Parent and Guarantors. Intercompany balances include receivables/payables incurred in the normal course of business in addition to investments and loans transacted between subsidiaries of the Company or with Actuant.
