Item 5. Other Events.
As previously announced, Applied Power Inc. continues to
implement the steps required in connection with the spin-off of its Electronics
Business. On June 30, 2000 Applied Power Inc. commenced an offer to repurchase
its $200 million of senior subordinated debt and a concurrent consent
solicitation designed to remove restrictions on certain operations provisions
currently included in the indenture. The tender offer will expire on July 28,
2000, unless extended.
In response to inquiries as to the pro forma results of Applied
Power Inc. after the spin-off, Applied Power Inc. has prepared the following
unaudited pro forma financial information which give effect to (1) the spin-off
of the Electronics Business, (2) the previously announced divestitures of Air
Cargo Equipment Corporation and Barry Wright Corporation and (3) the internal
restructuring necessary to accomplish the spin-off.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The following selected historical financial data have been derived from the
consolidated financial statements of Applied Power. The statement of
earnings data for each of the fiscal years ended August 31, 1998, and 1999 and
the balance sheet data as of August 31, 1998 and 1999 have been derived from
audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The statement of earnings data for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997 and the balance sheet data as of August
31, 1997 has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Applied Power. The statement of earnings data for the six months ended February
28, 1999 and February 29, 2000 and the balance sheet data as of those dates have
been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements of Applied Power.
Operating results for the six months ended February 29, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending
August 31, 2000.
The financial data presented in the following table reflect all business
units other than the Electronics Business, which will be spun off to
shareholders in the Distribution. Financial data presented in the table include
the Non-continuing Businesses. As a result, the selected financial data in the
following table are not fully representative of the group of business units
that will comprise Actuant after the Distribution. We have included a separate
financial data table in "footnote 9 below" that includes only those units of
Applied Power that will comprise Actuant after the Distribution.

(1) We completed various acquisitions and divestitures that impact the
comparability of the selected financial data presented in the table.
(2) Operating results for fiscal 1997 and 1998 include merger, restructuring
and other non-recurring charges that were recognized in cost of sales and
operating expenses. Such expenses totaled $6.2 million and $56.9 million on
a pre-tax basis in fiscal 1997 and 1998, respectively.
(3) Operating expenses in fiscal 1999 include a $7.8 million pre-tax charge due
to the cancellation of a contract. For the six months ended February 29,
2000, we recorded a $1.4 million pre-tax gain when we recovered costs in
excess of what we anticipated when the loss was initially recorded.
(4) Operating expenses for the six months ended February 29, 2000 include a
$3.5 million pre-tax charge for investment banking, legal, accounting and
other fees and expenses associated with the Distribution.
(5) Operating expenses include engineering, selling and administrative
expenses, contract termination costs (recovery), corporate reorganization
charges, merger related expenses, and all of Applied Power's general
corporate expenses (which include expenditures on resources and services
that supported the Electronics Business). Total general corporate expenses
were as follows:

Six months ended February 29, 2000 (excluding expenses in
Note 4 above)............................................ 8.1
</TABLE>
Such amounts include the general corporate expenses for Zero Corporation
("ZERO") for periods both prior to and after its merger with Applied Power
in fiscal 1998. The merger was accounted for using the pooling of interests
method of accounting, with all of Applied Power's historical results
restated to include the historical results of ZERO. The majority of ZERO's
general corporate expenses was eliminated shortly after its acquisition, as
its corporate support functions were provided by existing Applied Power
corporate personnel. We expect general corporate expenses to decrease
following the Distribution due to the need for fewer employees performing
such functions and a reduction in the size of the organization being
supported by such corporate personnel. We believe that the expenses required
to support such general corporate functions in fiscal 1999 and the six
months ended February 29, 2000, had the Distribution been completed prior to
the beginning of the period, would have been approximately $4.7 million and
$2.4 million, respectively.
(6) Applied Power split its stock two-for-one in fiscal 1998. All dividend and
per share data have been adjusted for this stock split. Actuant does not
intend to pay dividends following the Distribution.
(7) Includes net assets of discontinued operations as follows:

</TABLE>
(8) Historically, Applied Power incurred indebtedness at the parent company
level or at a limited number of subsidiaries, rather than at the operating
unit or segment level. Debt in the table reflects our debt balance after an
allocation was made to the Electronics Business, which is reported in
discontinued operations. The debt allocated to the Electronics Business was
based on the estimated debt expected to be assigned to APW in the debt
realignment related to the Distribution. Historical net financing costs
were allocated based on the debt allocation using the historical weighted-
average rate. Our debt and capitalization will change as a result of the
Distribution.
(9) The following consolidated financial data are derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements of Applied Power for each of the two years
ended August 31, 1999 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Applied Power for the six months ended February 28, 1999 and February 29,
2000. The statement of earnings data for the fiscal year ended August 31,
1997 has been derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements of
Applied Power. The adjusted historical financial data in the following table
differs from the consolidated financial information in the Consolidated
Financial Statements because we excluded the financial data of the Non-
continuing Businesses. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
earnings data give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on
August 31, 1998 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet data
give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on February 29,
2000.
In the opinion of management, the following data include all necessary
adjustments for the fair presentation of the information set forth. Results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

(a) Adjusted items exclude results of the Non-continuing Businesses.
(b) Includes the reported operating results, until the date of its disposition,
of Samuel Groves, a business unit sold by Applied Power on November 23,
1999. For the twelve months ended February 29, 2000, Samuel Groves had net
sales of $5.4 million and EBITDA of $0.2 million. All adjusted operating
data exclude the results of Samuel Groves.
(c) Pro forma net sales of $541.0 million differs from the $535.7 million of
adjusted net sales for the twelve months ended February 29, 2000 by $5.4
million of net sales attributable to the divested Samuel Groves
<PAGE>
business unit. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $110.4 million differs from (a)
the $110.6 million of pro forma EBITDA for the twelve months ended February
29, 2000 by $0.2 million of EBITDA attributable to Samuel Groves and (b) the
$101.2 million of adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended February 29,
2000 by $9.2 million of excess historical general corporate expenses of $5.0
million, the amount management believes would have been incurred by Actuant
had the Distribution occurred on the day immediately prior to the first day
of such period.
(d) Includes $3.3 million and $17.7 million in fiscal 1997 and 1998,
respectively, for non-recurring restructuring charges.
(e) Includes $2.9 million and $34.2 million of restructuring charges in fiscal
1997 and 1998, respectively; $7.8 million of contract termination costs in
fiscal 1999 and the six months ended February 28, 1999; $1.4 million of
contract termination recovery in the six months ended February 29, 2000;
and $3.5 million of corporate reorganization expenses in the six months
ended February 29, 2000.
(f) General corporate expenses include all general corporate expenses related
to Applied Power, including costs incurred to support both the Industrial
Business and the Electronics Business. In accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, none of these expenses has been allocated
to discontinued operations. We expect general corporate expenses to
decrease following the Distribution due to the need for fewer corporate
employees and a reduction in the size of the organization being supported.
We believe that the expenses required to support general corporate
functions in the six months ended February 29, 2000, fiscal 1999 and the
twelve months ended February 29, 2000, had the Distribution been completed
prior to the beginning of the periods, would have been approximately $2.4
million, $4.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively.
(g) "EBITDA" is defined as operating earnings before depreciation, amortization
and certain restructuring and other non-recurring items. EBITDA does not
represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or
cash flow from operations as determined by generally accepted accounting
principles, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that
reported by other companies. We believe that EBITDA provides useful
information regarding our ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.
EBITDA does not take into account our working capital requirements, debt
service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, is not
necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary
use. Pro forma twelve months ended February 29, 2000 EBITDA was $110.6.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA excluding results of the Non-
continuing Businesses. Adjusted EBITDA includes all general corporate
expenses of Applied Power, including costs incurred to support both the
Industrial Business and the Electronics Business. Accordingly, we believe
that, had we been a stand-alone entity during the periods presented, our
EBITDA would have been higher than the EBITDA presented in the table below.
The following is a reconciliation of operating earnings as reported in the
Consolidated Financial Statements to the adjusted EBITDA as displayed
in the table below.

(1) Gives effect to the Transactions, including the issuance of debt under the
Actuant Credit Facility, the issuance of the Notes and the estimated fees
and expenses related thereto. See "The Transactions." The pro forma
capitalization assumes that 100% of the 1999 Notes are purchased in the
Tender Offer. If less than all of the 1999 Notes are tendered, the
borrowings under the Actuant Credit Facility will be lower.
(2) Represents net borrowings under international working capital facilities
shared with APW. The increase from $2.4 million to $2.7 million reflects
the adjustment to exclude the net overdraft position of the Non-continuing
Businesses. Following the Distribution, Actuant will have its own
international working capital facilities with a total availability of
approximately $14.0 million. Any amounts outstanding under such facilities
will reduce available borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the
Actuant Credit Facility.
(3) Historical long-term debt excludes $57.2 million of an off-balance sheet
accounts receivable financing facility which will be retired upon the
consummation of the Distribution. Immediately following the Distribution,
Actuant will not have an accounts receivable financing program. The
existing long-term debt balance excludes $287.4 million of debt allocated
to the Electronics Business, which is included in net assets of
discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet.
(4) The Actuant Credit Facility consists of $250.0 million in term loans which
will be borrowed upon the consummation of the Distribution and a $100.0
million revolving credit facility which will be undrawn upon consummation
of the Distribution.
(5) Prior to the Distribution, most of Applied Power's debt instruments were
held at the corporate level. Applied Power's historical debt has been
allocated between the Industrial Business and the Electronics Business
based on the amount of debt expected to be assumed by the Electronics
Business in the Distribution. The amount allocated to the Electronics
Business was based in part on an estimate of anticipated cash flow of
Applied Power from February 29, 2000 to the date of the Distribution. The
amount of debt allocated to the Industrial Business will approximate four
times EBITDA of Actuant pro forma for the Transactions for the four fiscal
quarters preceding the date of the Distribution and will be reflected in
an agreement to be finalized between APW and Actuant.

tax effect:

$(594.8)
=======
</TABLE>
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Distribution results in a net reduction in Applied Power's historical
shareholders' equity as the total assets being distributed to APW in the
Distribution exceed the total liabilities being distributed. The excess of
total assets over total liabilities requires a corresponding reduction in
shareholders' equity.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings and
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet present the consolidated results
of Applied Power and its financial position, adjusted to give effect to the
Transactions, including the issuance of the Notes, the issuance of debt under
the Actuant Credit Facility and the estimated fees and expenses related
thereto. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings for the
six and twelve months ended February 29, 2000 and the fiscal year ended August
31, 1999 give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on the day
prior to the beginning of the period being referenced. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet data give effect to the Transactions as if they had
occurred on February 29, 2000.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been derived
from the historical consolidated financial statements of Applied Power. The pro
forma adjustments, as described in the notes that follow, are based upon
available information and upon certain assumptions that management believes are
reasonable. You should read this information in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in a recently published
offering circular. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
included for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of
the results of Actuant in the future or what the financial position and results
of operations would have been had Actuant been a separate, stand-alone entity
during the periods shown.

(1) Reflects the elimination of historical operating results for the Air Cargo
and Barry Controls businesses, which were sold in May 2000 and June 2000,
respectively, and the Magnets business, which will become part of APW in
connection with the Distribution.
(2) Includes the operating results, until the date of its disposition, of
Samuel Groves, a business unit sold by Applied Power on November 23, 1999.
Operating results of this divested business for the pro forma periods
presented were as follows:

</TABLE>
(3) Engineering, selling and administrative expenses include all general
corporate expenses related to Applied Power, including costs incurred to
support both the Industrial Business and the Electronics Business. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, none of these
expenses has been allocated to discontinued operations. The adjustment
reflects the elimination of the excess of historical general corporate
expenses over the amounts management believes would have been incurred by
Actuant had the Distribution taken place at the beginning of such periods.
The remainder represents salaries and benefits for positions in corporate
finance, treasury, tax, human resource and general management as well as
certain outside service fees expected to continue, including audit,
insurance and legal costs. For the six and twelve month periods ended
February 29, 2000 and fiscal 1999, pro forma general corporate expenses
were $2.4 million, $5.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
(4) Reflects the adjustment to exclude investment banking, legal, accounting
and other fees and expenses associated with the Distribution.
(5) Reflects the elimination of historical net financing costs and the
inclusion of estimated pro forma net financing costs based on the debt
realignment related to the Distribution as follows:

LIBOR assumed in the above calculations is 6.76%. A 0.25% change in LIBOR
for the Actuant Credit Facility would result in an approximate $0.6 million
change in annual pro forma net financing costs. A 0.25% change in the
coupon on the Notes would result in an approximate $0.5 million change in
annual pro forma net financing costs.

(6) Represents the adjustment required to arrive at an estimated income tax
expense after the Distribution. The increase in the effective pro forma tax
rate results from lower utilization of foreign tax credits.
(7) Reflects elimination of the net operating results of the Electronics
Business.
(8) "EBITDA" is defined as operating earnings before depreciation, amortization
and certain restructuring and other non-recurring items. Restructuring and
other non-recurring items included in the pro forma consolidated statement
of earnings are contract termination costs, contract termination recovery
and corporate reorganization expenses. As discussed in Note 2 above, pro
forma EBITDA includes $0.2 million of EBITDA from Samuel Groves, which we
divested on November 23, 1999. EBITDA does not represent and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles, and our calculation
thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We
believe that EBITDA provides useful information regarding our ability to
service and/or incur indebtedness. EBITDA does not take into account our
working capital requirements, debt service requirements and other
commitments and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that
may be available for discretionary use.

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, none of these
expenses has been allocated to discontinued operations. General corporate
expenses totaled $3.0 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended
May 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
(4) EBITDA is defined as operating earnings before depreciation, amortization
and certain restructuring and other non-recurring items. EBITDA and

Ended May 31,
-------------------
1999 2000
------ ------
EBITDA $34.2 $34.9
===== =====
Adjusted EBITDA $26.6 $28.4
===== =====
Our net sales, adjusted to exclude the operating results of the Non-
continuing Businesses, were $137.5 million for the three months ended May 31,
2000, compared to $137.9 million for the comparable period in fiscal 1999.
Excluding the effects of currency translation, our third quarter sales grew 2%
over last year, primarily reflecting increased shipments of heavy-duty truck
cab-tilt systems, RV leveling and slide-out systems and high force hydraulic
industrial tools. Adjusted EBITDA (not adjusted to exclude excess general
corporate expenses) increased by $1.8 million from $26.6 million for the
three months ended May 31, 1999 to $28.4 million for the three months ended
May 31, 2000, resulting from the incremental sales volume, improved gross
margins and reduction in operating expenses.
