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, 2005 was derived from 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 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes in the Company’s fiscal 2005 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 discussed, such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2006.

Prior year financial statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to current year presentations. In addition, prior year financial statements have been restated due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. See Note 9, “Stock Based Compensation” for further information.

Note 2. Acquisitions

The Company completed two business acquisitions during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, one during the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and five business acquisitions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2005, all of which resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company allocated the purchase price of the two acquisitions completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to the acquired assets and liabilities of those companies based on preliminary valuations provided by a third party. We will continue to evaluate the initial purchase price allocations for the acquisitions completed in fiscal 2006, and will adjust the allocations as additional information relative to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses become known.

On April 28, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Precision Sure-Lock (“PSL”) for $42.3 million, net of cash acquired. PSL, based in Dallas, Texas, has a leading U.S. market position in the concrete pre- and post-tensioning product market. PSL produces one-time use and reusable chucks and wedges, stressing jacks, and anchors used in residential, commercial, and public works concrete construction, underground mining, and ground stabilization. PSL is in our Tools and Supplies segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $27.3 million assigned to goodwill (which is not currently deductible for tax purposes), $8.5 million assigned to tradenames, and $5.4 million assigned to customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over 20 years.

On April 21, 2006, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of D. L. Ricci (“Ricci”) for $52.7 million, net of cash acquired. Ricci, based in Red Wing, Minnesota, is a leader in selling and renting portable machining equipment and providing industrial field service for power plants, refineries, chemical plants, offshore drilling rigs, mines and other heavy duty facilities primarily in North America. Ricci’s machining products and services complement the product and service offerings of our Hydratight business, which provides bolting products and services to the same industries. Ricci is in our Tools and Supplies segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $24.9 million assigned to goodwill (which is currently deductible for tax purposes in the United States), $5.0 million assigned to tradenames, $5.1 million assigned to patents, $0.6 million assigned to non-compete agreements and $9.8 million assigned to customer relationships. The amounts assigned to patents, non-compete agreements and customer relationships will be amortized over periods of 15, 5 and 20 years, respectively.

On December 16, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of B.E.P. Marine Limited (“B.E.P. Marine” or the “B.E.P. acquisition) for $7.6 million of cash. B.E.P. Marine, based in Auckland, New Zealand, is a leading provider of AC and DC control panels, digital monitoring systems, battery switches and battery distribution products, waterproof switch panels, and gas detectors primarily to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) boat builders and the marine aftermarket. B.E.P. Marine’s product offerings complement the existing line of products offered by our Recreational Group in the Tools & Supplies segment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $3.9 million assigned to goodwill (which is not currently deductible for tax purposes), $0.9 million assigned to tradenames, $0.6 million assigned to patents, and $0.7 million assigned to customer relationships. The amounts assigned to patents and customer relationships will be amortized over periods of 11 years and 10 years, respectively.

On May 17, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Hydratight Sweeney (“Hydratight Sweeney” or the “Hydratight Acquisition”) for $94.4 million, net of cash acquired. During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, a purchase accounting adjustment was made to increase goodwill and decrease the customer relationship intangible asset. The adjustment reflects changes in the underlying third-party valuations completed for the Hydratight Acquisition. The amount assigned to goodwill increased by $3.2 million to $53.9 million as a result of this adjustment.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, give effect to all acquisitions completed since September 1, 2004 as though the transactions had occurred on September 1, 2004.

The nine months ended May 31, 2005 includes a $2.0 million pre-tax gain ($0.04 per diluted share) related to the early termination of an agreement with a former subsidiary, which was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. In addition the three months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005 include favorable tax adjustments of $0.08 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively, which also impacts the year-to-date results (See footnote 16). These items impact the comparability of the pro forma results presented above.

Note 3. Restructuring Reserves

The Company committed to integration plans to restructure portions of the German electrical operations upon its acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. These plans were designed to reduce administrative and operational costs. The remaining accrued severance costs at May 31, 2006 will be paid to former employees over the next 12 months pursuant to contractual arrangements.

A rollforward of the severance reserve follows (in thousands):

Note 4. Accounts Receivable Financing

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 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 write-off history. The retained interest recorded at May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 is $38.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively, and is included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The securitization program has a final maturity in May 2007, subject to annual renewal by the Purchaser. The Company amended its securitization program in May 2006 to increase capacity from $55 million to $60 million, and to include trade accounts receivable from acquired business. Trade accounts receivables sold and being serviced by the Company totaled $48.1 million and $43.8 million at May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, respectively.

Sales of trade receivables from the special purpose subsidiary to the Purchaser totaled $90.8 million and $272.7 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, respectively, and $87.1 million and $200.7 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively. Cash collections of trade accounts receivable balances in the total receivable pool, which includes participating interests sold to the Purchaser and the retained interest, totaled $143.4 million and $430.4 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, respectively, and $127.4 million and $305.3 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively.

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 table below provides additional information about delinquencies and net credit losses for trade accounts receivable subject to the accounts receivable securitization program.

Accounts receivable financing costs of $0.7 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively, are included in financing costs in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended May 31, 2006 are as follows:

Table of Contents

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 May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 are as follows:

Amortization expense recorded on the intangible assets listed above was $1.9 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, respectively, and $1.6 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively. The Company estimates that amortization expense will approximate $7.4 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006. Amortization expense for future years is estimated as follows: $8.2 million in fiscal 2007, $8.0 million in fiscal 2008, $7.9 million in 2009, $7.7 million in fiscal 2010, $7.3 million in fiscal 2011 and $59.5 million thereafter.

The gross carrying amount of the Company’s intangible assets that have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization as of May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 are $103.2 million and $88.4 million, respectively. These assets are comprised of acquired tradenames and have increased due to current year acquisitions.

Note 6. Accrued Product Warranty Costs

The Company recognizes the cost associated with 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 nine months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005:

Note 7. Debt

The Company’s indebtedness, as of May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005 was as follows:

9

Table of Contents

During the quarter ended May 31, 2006, the Company obtained an amendment to reduce the borrowing spreads and Revolver non-use fees under the senior credit facility. Of the $250 million in outstanding term loans under the senior credit facility, $150.0 million bore interest at a rate of 6.04%, which represented LIBOR plus a borrowing spread of 1.0%. As discussed in Note 8, “Derivatives,” the remaining $100.0 million of term loans bear a fixed rate of interest of 4.10% plus the applicable borrowing spread (1.00% at May 31, 2006) until maturity. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at LIBOR plus a borrowing spread of 1.00%, resulting in an interest rate of 6.00% at May 31, 2006. 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 leverage ratios. In addition, a non-use fee is payable quarterly on the average unused credit line under the Revolver. At May 31, 2006, 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 May 31, 2006 the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

There were $34.5 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at May 31, 2006, all of which had original maturity terms of 91 days or less and had a weighted interest rate of 5.20%, including issuance fees. Total commercial paper outstanding cannot exceed $75.0 million under the terms of the senior credit facility. The Revolver provides the liquidity backstop for outstanding commercial paper. Accordingly, the combined outstanding balance under the Revolver and commercial paper cannot exceed $250.0 million. The unused and available credit line under the Revolver at May 31, 2006 was approximately $171 million.

Note 8. Derivatives

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. In January 2005, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts that have a total notional value of $100.0 million and have maturity dates of December 22, 2009. These interest rate swap contracts will pay the Company variable interest at the three month LIBOR rate, and the Company will pay the counterparties a fixed interest rate of 4.10%. These interest rate swap contracts were entered into to convert $100.0 million of the $250.0 million variable rate term loan under the senior credit facility into fixed rate debt. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contracts and the underlying debt, these interest rate contracts were determined to be effective, and thus qualify as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The total fair value of these interest rate swap contracts was $4.3 million and $0.3 million at May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, respectively, which the Company recorded as a long-term asset in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is not party to any other material derivative contracts at May 31, 2006.

Note 9. Stock Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, utilizing the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under this adoption method, the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 were restated during the fourth quarter to reflect expense for stock based compensation. Stock based compensation is calculated by estimating the fair value of incentive stock options granted and amortizing the estimated value over the stock options’ vesting period. Stock based compensation expense was $1.5 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, respectively, and $1.2 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005, respectively.

Note 10. 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 May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, 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.

At May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, the postretirement medical plans consisted 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 maintains defined benefit pension plans for certain employees in various foreign countries. At May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, the defined benefit pension plans consisted of eight separate plans. Unlike existing U.S. pension plans, future benefits are earned with respect to the foreign plans.

Table of Contents

Components of net periodic benefit costs were as follows:

For domestic defined benefit pension plans, the Company expects to contribute approximately $0.1 million in aggregate during fiscal 2006. The Company contributed $0.4 million to a domestic defined benefit pension plan during the nine months ended May 31, 2005. Postretirement medical claims and a majority of foreign defined pension benefits are paid as incurred.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

The reconciliations between basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Note 12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets consists of the following:

Note 13. Common Stock

In December 2004, the Company sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering, 2,875,000 shares of previously unissued Class A Common Stock at a price of $49.50 per share. Cash proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses, were approximately $134.4 million. The proceeds were used to fund the retirement of the $80.8 million of 10.5% Notes assumed in the Key Components, Inc. (“KCI”) acquisition and pay down outstanding borrowings on the Company’s Revolver and commercial paper facility.

Note 14. Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments: Tools & Supplies and Engineered Solutions, with separate and distinct operating management and strategies. The Tools & Supplies segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of tools and supplies to the retail home center, construction, electrical wholesale, industrial, oil & gas, production automation, and marine markets. In addition, this segment provides manpower services and product rental to the global bolting market. The Engineered Solutions segment focuses on developing and marketing value-added, customized motion control systems for original equipment manufacturers in the recreational vehicle, automotive, truck, and industrial markets. The Company has not aggregated individual operating segments within these reportable segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based primarily on net sales and earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense and minority interest.

The following tables summarize financial information by reportable segment.

12

Table of Contents

The comparability of the segment data is impacted by acquisitions. Sperry, Hedley Purvis, Hydratight Sweeney, B.E.P. Marine, D.L. Ricci, and Precision Sure-Lock are included in the Tools & Supplies segment. Of the six businesses acquired in the KCI acquisition, four are included in the Engineered Solutions segment and two are included in the Tools & Supplies segment.

Corporate assets, which are not allocated, principally represent deferred income taxes, the retained interest in trade accounts receivable, and capitalized debt issuance costs.

Note 15. Contingencies and Litigation

The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $5.1 million and $6.6 million at May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, respectively. The letters of credit secure self-insured workers compensation liabilities and contingent payments related to indemnifications provided to purchasers of divested businesses.

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 indemnification 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. 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 $7.3 million at May 31, 2006. The future undiscounted minimum lease payments for these leases are as follows: $0.6 million in calendar 2006, $1.1 million in calendar 2007 through 2010; and $6.1 million thereafter. During the nine months ended May 31, 2006, the Company was released from its guarantee on one building lease, resulting in a decrease in both the discounted future minimum lease payments and the undiscounted minimum lease payments.

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. Environmental remediation accruals of $2.1 million and $2.6 million were included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at May 31, 2006 and August 31, 2005, respectively.

Note 16. 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 we do business, and our ability to utilize various tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006, was 24.4% and 29.4% compared to 30.7% and 33.1% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2005. The effective income tax rate was lower in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006 as a result of the mix of revenue taxed at lower statutory tax rates, tax minimization planning, and the realization of benefits on certain net operating losses that previously had not been benefited in various countries. In addition, the third quarter fiscal 2006 tax rate includes the benefit of tax reserve adjustments resulting from settling tax audits for amounts less than previously accrued, the lapsing of various tax statutes of limitations and favorable book provision to tax return adjustments. These tax reserve adjustments, and similar adjustments in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.08 and $0.02 for the three months ended May 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

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

We are a diversified global manufacturer of a broad range of industrial products and systems, organized into two business segments, Tools & Supplies and Engineered Solutions. Our Tools & Supplies segment is primarily involved in the design, manufacture and distribution of branded hydraulic and electrical tools and supplies to the retail, construction, electrical wholesale, industrial, oil & gas, production automation and marine markets. Tools & Supplies also provides manpower services and tool rental to the global bolting market. Our Engineered Solutions segment primarily focuses on developing and marketing highly engineered position and motion control systems for original equipment manufacturers in the recreational vehicle, automotive, truck, and other industrial markets. We believe that our strength in these product categories is the result of a combination of our brand recognition, proprietary engineering and design competencies, dedicated service philosophy, and global manufacturing and distribution capabilities.

Our long-term goal is to grow annual diluted earnings per share excluding unusual or non-recurring items (“EPS”) by 15% to 20% per year through the combination of both organic and acquisition growth. 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 EPS growth goal. 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. 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.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine months Ended May 31, 2006 and 2005

The comparability of the operating results for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2006 to the prior year has been significantly impacted by acquisitions. Listed below are the acquisitions completed since September 1, 2004.

The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in the Company’s reported results of operations only since their respective acquisition dates. In addition to the impact of acquisitions on operating results, currency translation rates can influence our reported results since approximately 48% of our sales are denominated in currencies other than the US dollar. The strengthening of the US dollar has negatively impacted comparisons of fiscal 2006 results to the prior year due to the translation of non-US dollar denominated results.

Consolidated net sales increased by $45.0 million, or 17%, from $271.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to $316.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006. Excluding sales from acquired businesses and the $4.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on translated results, fiscal 2006 third quarter consolidated net sales increased 11% as compared to the fiscal 2005 third quarter consolidated net sales.

Fiscal 2006 year-to-date consolidated net sales increased $169.9 million, or 24%, from $706.7 million in the comparable prior year period to $876.6 million in the current year. Excluding sales from acquired businesses and the $18.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on translated results, consolidated net sales during the nine months ended May 31, 2006 increased 7% compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2005.

Table of Contents

Consolidated earnings before income taxes and minority interest for the three months ended May 31, 2006 was $35.4 million, compared with $28.5 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005. Consolidated earnings before income taxes and minority interest for the nine months ended May 31, 2006 was $95.3 million compared with $77.2 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2005. The comparability between periods is impacted by acquisitions and the related financing activities, foreign currency exchange rate changes, and a one-time $2.0 million pre-tax gain in the prior year. The changes in consolidated earnings before income taxes and minority interest at the operating segment level are discussed in further detail below.

Tools & Supplies Segment Results

Net sales increased by $34.4 million, or 22%, from $158.2 million for the three months ended May 31, 2005 to $192.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2006.
