| ITEM 2.02. | RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION |
On January 17, 2008, Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Original Press Release”) announcing the Company’s fiscal 2008 second quarter results. Also on January 17, 2008, the Company issued a supplemental clarification of this press release (the “Supplemental Press Release”) to correct an error contained in the Original Press Release. The last sentence of the second paragraph of the Original Press Release indicated “that operationally, the six month results improved from the same period a year ago as the benefits of increased sales and lower manufacturing costs were greater than the higher expenses associated with operations startup, a plant closing and lower production levels.” The Supplemental Press Release clarifies that “operationally, the six month results declined from the same period a year ago as the benefits of increased sales and lower manufacturing costs were offset by higher expenses associated with operations startup, a plant closing and lower production levels.” All amounts as reported in the Original Press Release are correct. A copy of the Supplemental Press Release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
