Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is filed by Actuant Corporation (not Enerpac Tool Group Corp) on November 15, 2006. The report addresses a delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The company states it has no reason to believe the financial results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, will differ from those presented in a press release issued on September 27, 2006.
Material Changes and Delays
- Filing Extension: Actuant filed Form 12b-25 requesting a 15-day extension to file its 10-K, with a new expected filing date of November 29, 2006.
- Reason for Delay: The company is evaluating its reportable segments following discussions with the SEC staff regarding segment reporting disclosures under SFAS No. 131.
- Potential Impact: The number of reportable segments may increase, requiring a reassessment of previously issued financial statements and disclosure controls.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management confirms that the delay is due to "unreasonable effort or expense" required to finalize segment reporting without the extension. The company is currently assessing the impact of these segment changes on its internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2006. No new risks or unusual items were disclosed beyond the segment reporting evaluation.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the September 27, 2006 press release for the most current financial figures, as this 8-K contains no new data.
- Monitor the status of the company's disclosure controls and internal controls assessment.
