Item 8.01   Other Events
 
Altra Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating the contents of this report in the Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2009, pursuant to which the Company may offer debt securities (the “Debt Securities”). As indicated in the Registration Statement, the Company’s direct and indirect U.S. domestic subsidiaries may unconditionally guarantee the Debt Securities.
 
In connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities, Rule 3-10 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X requires that the Company provide certain condensed consolidating financial information. To provide this information, Note 19 has been added to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, by amending Item 8 of Part II (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Form 10-K”).
 
As this Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed only for the purpose described above, and only affects the Item specified above, the other information in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K remains unchanged. No attempt has been made in this Current Report on Form 8-K to modify or update disclosures in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K except as described above. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K or modify or update any related disclosures. Information in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K not affected by this Current Report on Form 8-K is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the filing. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K.
