Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On September 22, 2010, Hawk Corporation issued a press release announcing an update to its revenue and income from operations guidance for the full year 2010. The press release has been posted to Hawk's website at www.hawkcorp.com and a copy is also set forth in Exhibit 99.1.

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 its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings for 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.
