Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 6, 2009, Hawk issued a press release announcing financial results for the period ended March 31, 2009. A copy of this press release has been posted to Hawk's website www.hawkcorp.com and a copy is also set forth in Exhibit 99.1. This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Company's future operations and, as such, concerns matters that are not historical facts. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements. Reference is made to Hawk's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including it's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, it's quarterly reports of Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings for a description of the foregoing and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 6, 2009, Hawk filed its first quarter 2009 Form 10-Q with the SEC. As a result of file transmission errors made by our third party EDGAR software provider, the Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC contains numerous errors and should not be relied on by anyone. Hawk is in the process of correcting the filing and will be submitting a Form 10-Q/A with the SEC as soon as possible. Hawk apologizes for the inconvenience these third party errors have caused any users.
