Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On September 18, 2012, Actuant Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it expects to report a non-cash pre-tax asset impairment charge of approximately $60 million in its fourth quarter operating results.

(“Mastervolt”) goodwill and intangible assets exists due to business underperformance since its acquisition, reduced long term Mastervolt profit and cash flow expectations as well as weaker economic and credit conditions in Europe.
A copy of the press release announcing the non-cash impairment charge is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
The information disclosed above under Item 2.02 with respect to the non-cash pre-tax impairment charge is incorporated herein by reference.
