PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Terex is a global provider of capital goods and equipment used in the
manufacturing, mining, construction and infrastructure industries.

The Company's operations began in 1983 with the purchase of Northwest
Engineering Company, the Company's original business and name. Since 1983,
management has expanded and changed the Company's business through a series of
acquisitions and dispositions. In 1988, Northwest Engineering Company merged
into a subsidiary acquired in 1986 named Terex Corporation, with Terex
Corporation as the surviving corporation. As a result of the completion of a
significant acquisition in 1995 (see "Terex Cranes" below), the Company's
operations were divided into three principal segments: Material Handling and
Heavy Equipment and Mobile Cranes. As a result of the disposition of its
Material Handling segment in November 1996 (see "Discontinued Operations"
below), the Company currently operates in two business segments: Terex Cranes
and Terex Trucks. For 1996, consolidated revenues for continuing operations of
the Company amounted to approximately $678.5.

Terex Cranes (formerly known as the Company's Mobile Cranes Segment) designs,
manufactures and markets mobile cranes, aerial platforms and lifts, container
stackers and scrap handlers and related components and replacements parts. These
products are primarily used by construction and industrial customers. Mobile
cranes and container stackers are sold under the TEREX, PPM, BENDINI, LORAIN,
KOEHRING and P&H (a licensed trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) brand
names. Aerial lifts are sold under the MARKLIFT brand name. Terex Cranes is
headquartered in Conway, South Carolina.

Terex Trucks (formerly known as the Company's Heavy Equipment Segment) designs,
manufactures and markets heavy-duty, off-highway rigid and articulated trucks
and scrapers and related components and replacement parts. These products are
used primarily by construction, mining, logging, industrial and government
customers in building roads, dams and commercial and residential buildings, and
in supplying coal, minerals, sand and gravel. Terex Trucks is headquartered in
Motherwell, Scotland.

For financial information about the Company's industry and geographic segments,
see Note O --- "Business Segment Information" in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."

The Company's long term strategy has been, and continues to be, to seek out
acquisitions in the capital goods industry where aggressive management can
achieve substantial improvements in profitability and cash flow.

Recent Developments

On November 27, 1996, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the
sale of the Company's worldwide material handling business ("CMHC") for $139.5
in cash (subject to certain adjustments) to CLARK Material Handling Company
(formerly known as CMHC Acquisition Corporation), a company formed by Citicorp
Venture Capital Ltd. and certain members of CMHC's management. CMHC is a leading
North American and European designer, manufacturer and marketer of a complete
line of lift trucks, electric walkies and related components and replacement
parts under the Clark trademark. CMHC is headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky
and its manufacturing facilities are located in Lexington, Kentucky and
Mulheim-Ruhr, Germany.

Following the sale of CMHC, the Company offered to repurchase (the "Offer") $100
principal amount of its 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2002 (the "Senior
Secured Notes"), in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Note
Indenture. The Offer expired on December 27, 1996, but no Senior Secured Notes
were tendered for repurchase. As a result, the $100 of sale proceeds were
available for other corporate purposes.

The Company's Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") had a 13% dividend rate,
which was to increase to 18% at the end of 1998. In light of the foregoing, and
to improve the Company's capital structure, on December 30, 1996, Terex called
its Series A Preferred Stock for redemption on January 29, 1997. The aggregate
redemption price for the 1,200,000 shares, comprising the entire issue of the
Series A Preferred Stock, was approximately $45.4.

On February 24, 1997, the Company executed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale
with Simon Engineering plc and certain subsidiaries (collectively, "Simon
Engineering") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire the industrial
businesses of Simon Access division ("Simon Access Division") from Simon
Engineering for the sum of $90.

The Simon Access Division to be acquired consists principally of several
business units in the United States and Europe which are engaged in the
manufacture and sale of access equipment designed to position people and
materials to work at heights. The Simon Access Division products include truck
mounted aerial devices, aerial work platforms and truck mounted cranes (boom
trucks) which are sold to customers in the industrial and construction markets
and utility companies. Specifically, Terex has agreed to acquire 100% of the
outstanding common stock of (i) Simon-Telelect Inc., a Delaware corporation,
(ii) Simon Aerials, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation and parent company of Simon
RO, (iii) Sim-Tech Management Limited, a private limited company incorporated
under the laws of Hong Kong, (iv) Simon Cella, S.r.l., a company incorporated
under the laws of Italy, and (v) Simon Aerials Limited, a company incorporated
under the laws of Ireland; and 60% of the outstanding common stock of
Simon-Tomen Engineering Company Limited, a limited liability stock company
organized under the laws of Japan. Not included in the businesses to be acquired
are the Simon Access Division's fire fighting equipment businesses.

The consummation of the acquisition is expected to take place in April 1997 and
is subject principally to the approval of the transactions by the shareholders
of Simon Engineering plc. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the purchased
business units will become a part of the Terex Cranes segment.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Simon Access Division, the Company has
received a commitment for financing from a financial institution. The commitment
is for a three year period for a $125.0 credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility") to be secured by the Company's domestic receivables and inventories.
The New Credit Facility will replace the Company's $100 current revolving credit
facility that matures in May 1998.

Terex Cranes

Terex Cranes was established as a separate business segment as a result of an
acquisition (the "PPM Acquisition") in May 1995 of substantially all of the
shares of PPM S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries, including PPM SpA, Brimont
Agraire S.A., a specialized trailer manufacturer in France, PPM Krane GmbH, a
sales organization in Germany, and Baulift Baumaschinen Und Krane Handels GmbH,
a parts distributor in Germany (collectively, "PPM Europe") from Potain S.A.,
and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., which owned 92.4% of
the capital of PPM Cranes, Inc., ("PPM North America" and PPM Europe and PPM
North America are collectively referred to herein as "PPM") from Legris
Industries, S.A. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the
Company contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes
and Excavators and Mark Industries division to Terex Cranes, Inc. The former
division now operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc. ("Koehring"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Terex Cranes, Inc. Koehring and PPM comprise the Company's Terex
Cranes segment.

Terex Cranes has four significant manufacturing operations: (i) PPM S.A. located
in Montceau Les Mines, France, at which mobile cranes and container stackers
under the brand name PPM are manufactured, (ii) PPM SpA, located in Crespellano,
Italy, at which mobile cranes are manufactured under the BENDINI and PPM brand
names, (iii) Terex Cranes, located in Conway, South Carolina, at which mobile
cranes are manufactured under the P&H (a licensed trademark of Harnischfeger
Corporation) and TEREX brand names, and (iv) Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations
(sometimes referred to as "Koehring") located in Waverly, Iowa, at which rough
terrain hydraulic telescoping mobile cranes, truck cranes and material handlers
are manufactured under the brand names TEREX, KOEHRING and LORAIN, and aerial
lift equipment is manufactured under the brand name MARKLIFT.

Throughout the world market, mobile cranes are principally sold to rental
companies and dealers with rental fleets. Terex Cranes' mobile crane market
share varies dramatically by geographical area; however, the Company believes it
is the leading manufacturer of mobile cranes in France and Italy and is the
second largest manufacturer in North America. Terex Cranes' principal worldwide
mobile crane competitors are Grove Manufacturing, Liebherr Werk Ehingen, Link
Belt (Sumitomo), and Tadano; Terex Cranes competes with several smaller
specialty companies in North America and with Grove Cranes Ltd. (including the
recently acquired Krupp Mobilkran), Liebherr Werk Ehingen and DeMag in Europe.
Terex Cranes maintains a meaningful niche market share in the large scrap
handler industry, in which the Company's principal customers are master dealers
and the largest competitor is Libherr Werk Ehingen. Terex Cranes' major
competitors in the container stacker market are Kalmar, Valmet Belloti and
Taylor. Terex Cranes is currently not a dominant competitor in the aerial lift
industry; however, when the purchase of the Simon Access division is
consummated, the Company believes it will become a more meaningful competitor in
the aerial lift industry. Currently, the leading competitor in the aerial lift
industry is JLG Industries, followed by Grove Manufacturing, Skyjack, Snorkel,
Genie and Upright.


Terex Trucks

Terex Trucks has two manufacturing operations: (i) Terex Equipment Limited
("TEL"), located at Motherwell, Scotland, which manufactures off-highway rigid
haulers and articulated haulers and scrapers, each sold under the TEREX brand
name and to other truck manufacturers on a private label basis; and (ii) the
Unit Rig Division of Terex Trucks, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which
manufactures electric rear and bottom dump haulers principally sold to the
copper, gold and coal mining industry customers in North and South America,
Asia, Africa and Australia. Unit Rig's products are sold under the Company's
TEREX, UNIT RIG, and LECTRA HAUL trademarks. TEL's North, Central and South
American sales and distribution are managed by Terex Americas, a division of the
Company, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A "hauler" is an off-road dump truck with a capacity in excess of 25 tons.
Haulers produced by TEL have capacities ranging from 25 to 100 tons. The
"scrapers" manufactured by TEL are off-road vehicles, commonly referred to as
"earth movers," that load, move and unload large quantities of soil for site
preparations, including roadbeds. The Unit Rig hauler is powered by a diesel
engine driving an electric generator that provides power to individual electric
motors in each of the rear wheels. Unit Rig's current LECTRA HAUL product line
consists of a series of rear dump hauler trucks with payload capacities ranging
from 100 to 260 tons, and bottom dump haulers with capacities ranging from 180
to 270 tons.

In addition to its two wholly owned manufacturing operations, Terex Trucks has
an interest in North Hauler Limited Liability Company, a corporation
incorporated under the laws of China. In 1987, TEL entered into a joint venture
agreement with Second Inner Mongolia Machinery Company for the production of
haulers in China. The joint venture company, North Hauler Limited Liability
Company, manufactures heavy trucks, principally used in mining, at a facility in
Baotou, Inner Mongolia, People's Republic of China.

Terex Trucks is recognized as a significant competitor in the market for large
capacity off highway haulers and scrapers. However, the Company is not a
dominant manufacturer in the heavy equipment industry, which is dominated in
most segments by large, diversified firms, such as Caterpillar, Volvo Group and
Komatsu with respect to the TEL products and Caterpillar, Komatsu, Liebherr Werk
Ehingen and Euclid with respect to Unit Rig products.


Discontinued Operations

On November 27, 1996, the Company sold substantially all the assets and
liabilities of its worldwide material handling business ("CMHC") for an
aggregate cash purchase price, subject to adjustments, of $139.5. Prior to the
disposition on November 27, 1996, CMHC consisted of Clark Material Handling
Company and certain affiliated companies which were acquired by the Company in
July 1992 from Clark Equipment Company. CMHC designed, manufactured and marketed
a complete line of internal combustion and electric lift trucks, electric
walkies and related components and replacement parts under the CLARK trademark.

Environmental Considerations

The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws
and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a
continuing basis.

Research and Development

The Company maintains engineering staffs at several of its locations which
design new products and improvements in existing product lines. Such costs
incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to
existing products of continuing operations amounted to $6.1, $5.0 and $2.1 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Materials

Principal materials used by the Company in its various manufacturing processes
include steel, castings, engines, tires, hydraulic cylinders, electric controls
and motors, and a variety of other fabricated or manufactured items. In the
absence of labor strikes or other unusual circumstances, substantially all
materials are normally available from multiple suppliers. Current and potential
suppliers are evaluated on a regular basis on their ability to meet the
Company's requirements and standards. Electric wheel motors and controls used in
the Unit Rig product line are currently supplied exclusively by General Electric
Company.

Working Capital Items

The Company, in the normal course of business, does not provide right of return
on merchandise sold, nor does it provide extended payment terms to customers.

Seasonal Factors

The Company markets a large portion of its products in North America and Europe,
and its sales of heavy equipment and cranes during the fourth quarter of each
year (i.e., October through December) to the construction industry are usually
lower than sales of such equipment during each of the first three quarters of
the year because of the normal winter slowdown of construction activity.
However, sales of heavy equipment to the mining industry are generally less
affected by such seasonal factors.

Distribution

Terex Cranes distributes its products primarily through a global network of over
300 independent dealers organized by product line. With respect to mobile
cranes, in North America, Terex Cranes maintains extensive dealer networks. The
geographic strength of Terex Cranes' mobile cranes marketed under the LORAIN
brand name, centers in the midwest and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. and the
geographic strength of mobile cranes marketed under the P&H (a licensed
trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) brand, centers in the southern and
western regions of the U.S. Terex Cranes European distribution is carried out
primarily under three brand names, TEREX, PPM and BENDINI, through a single
distribution network comprised of both distributors and a direct sales force.

TEL markets original equipment and repair parts primarily through worldwide
dealership networks. Terex Americas manages the sales activity and distribution
of TEL products in North, Central and South America. TEL's heavy equipment
dealers are independent businesses which generally serve the construction,
mining, timber and/or scrap industries. Although these dealers carry products of
a variety of manufacturers, and may or may not carry more than one of the
Company's products, each dealer generally carries only one manufacturer's
"brand" of each particular type of product. The Company employs sales
representatives who service these dealers from offices located throughout the
world. Unit Rig distributes its products and services directly to customers
primarily through its own distribution system.

Backlog

The Company's backlog as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 was as follows:



December 31,
---------------------------
1996 1995
------------- -------------


Terex Trucks....................... $ 53.4 $ 88.8
Terex Cranes....................... 67.2 85.3
------------- -------------
Total......................... $ 120.6 $ 174.1
============= =============



Substantially all of the Company's backlog orders are expected to be filled
within one year, although there can be no assurance that all such backlog orders
will be filled within that time period. The Company's backlog orders represent
primarily new equipment orders. Parts orders are generally filled on an
as-ordered basis. The backlog for the Terex Trucks' segment was unusually high
at year end in 1995 as a result of a large order for Unit Rig equipment which
was placed late in 1995. Average backlog at Terex Trucks for 1996 was $68.1 as
compared to $57.0 for 1995. Accordingly, average backlog in the Terex Trucks
segment remained constant. Backlog in Terex Cranes decreased in 1996 primarily
due to the sale of a business unit in 1996. Excluding the backlog at the sold
unit, the decrease in backlog at Terex Cranes was $10.2, primarily in Europe.

Patents, Licenses and Trademarks

Several of the trademarks and trade names of the Company, in particular the
TEREX, KOEHRING, LORAIN, UNIT RIG, MARKLIFT, P&H (licensed from Harnischfeger
Corporation), PPM and BENDINI trademarks, are important to the business of the
Company. The Company owns and maintains trademark registrations and patents in
countries where it conducts business, and monitors the status of its trademark
registrations and patents to maintain them in force and renews them as required.
The Company also protects its trademark, trade name and patent rights when
circumstances warrant such action, including the initiation of legal proceedings
if necessary.

Employees

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately 2,270 employees. The
Company considers its relations with its personnel to be good. Approximately 44%
of the Company's employees are represented by labor unions which have entered
into or are in the process of entering into various separate collective
bargaining agreements with the Company. The Company experienced a labor strike
at its parts distribution center in Southaven, Mississippi during the second
quarter of 1995 which was settled in February 1997. The strike at Southaven had
no appreciable effect on the conduct of business or financial results of that
operation as a whole, although individual product line sales growth may have
been hindered. The National Labors Relations Board has filed an unfair labor
practice charge against the Company's Terex Cranes' operation in Conway, South
Carolina. The Company does not anticipate that the outcome of such charge will
have a material impact on the Company.

No dividends were declared or paid in 1995 or in 1996. Certain of the Company's
debt agreements contain restrictions as to the payment of cash dividends. Under
the most restrictive of these agreements, $3.0 was available for dividends at
December 31, 1996. In addition, the Company's debt agreements generally limit
payment of cash dividends by the Company in excess of $3.0 to 40% of the
Company's net income, if any. The terms of the Company's outstanding Series B
Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Series B Preferred Stock") also restrict the Company's ability to pay cash
dividends on the Common Stock. The Company intends generally to retain earnings,
if any, to fund the development and growth of its business. The Company does not
plan on paying dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any
future payments of cash dividends will depend upon the financial condition,
capital requirements and earnings of the Company, as well as other factors that
the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

As of February 28, 1997, there were 763 stockholders of record of the Company's
Common Stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company currently operates in two industry segments: Terex Cranes and Terex
Trucks. The Company previously operated a third industry segment, the Material
Handling segment, the results of which are now accounted for as Income (Loss)
from Discontinued Operations. The Terex Cranes segment results for periods prior
to May 1995 consist solely of Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations. Subsequent to
that date, Terex Cranes' results include the results of the PPM business
acquired in May of 1995. Terex Trucks consists of TEL and Unit Rig.

1996 Compared with 1995

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, engineering, selling
and administrative expenses, income (loss) from operations, and income (loss)
from discontinued operations, by segment, for 1996 and 1995. The 1996 amounts
include $30.0 in special charges comprised of $18.4 at Terex Cranes ($16.8 gross
profit; $1.6 engineering, selling and administrative expenses), $10.4 at Terex
Trucks (gross profit), and $1.2 General/Corporate (engineering, selling and
administrative expenses).

Net Sales

Sales increased $177.1, or approximately 35.3%, to $678.5 from $501.4 in 1995,
reflecting the acquisition of PPM in the second quarter of 1995.

Terex Cranes sales were $363.9 for 1996, an increase of $111.6, or 44.2%, from
$252.3 in 1995 which did not include the PPM business prior to its acquisition
in May 1995. Machine sales increased $94.9 to $291.8 in 1996. Part sales
increased $11.4 to $64.3 in 1996. The increase in sales was due to the addition
of the PPM business, growth in sales at the PPM business, and continued strong
performance by Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations. Terex Cranes bookings were
$356.1 for 1996, compared to $236.7 for 1995 an increase of $119.4.

Terex Trucks sales increased $64.6 in 1996 to $314.9. Machines sales increased
36.2% primarily due to increased presence in the Asia market and the U.S. rental
market, and parts sales increased 8.5% in 1996. The sales mix was approximately
29% parts in 1996 compared to 34.6% parts in 1995. Terex Trucks bookings for
1996 were $277.9, a decrease of $3.0, or 1.1%, from 1995. Backlog decreased to
$53.4 at December 31, 1996 from $88.8 in 1995 as a result of a large order which
was placed late in 1995. However, the average backlog increased slightly to
$68.1 for 1996 as compared to $57.0 for 1995.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 1996 decreased $1.2 to $69.2. The decline in the gross profit
was primarily due to the $16.8 write down of goodwill and other long lived
assets at Terex Cranes and $10.4 of special charges recorded at Terex Trucks in
the fourth quarter of 1996. These charges substantially offset the increased
gross profit from increased net sales during 1996 as compared to 1995. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales for 1996 decreased to 10% as compared to 14%
for 1995 as a result of the special charges. However, excluding these $27.2
charges in 1996, gross profit as a percentage of sales remained at 14% and
increased from $70.4 to $96.4.

Terex Cranes gross profit increased $2.9 to $38.1 for 1996, compared to $35.2
for 1995, reflecting the PPM Acquisition, the effect of cost reduction actions
put in place at PPM, and improved performance at Terex Cranes - Waverly
Operations. These improvements were substantially offset by an impairment charge
which resulted from a detailed analysis of future cash flows from operations
primarly at Terex Cranes' Conway, South Carolina, facility. (See Note D --
"Impairment of Long Lived Assets" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.) Excluding the impairment charge, Terex
Cranes gross profit in 1996 increased $19.7 as compared to 1995 and the gross
profit percentage increased to 15.1% as compared to 14.0% in 1995.

Terex Trucks gross profit decreased $4.6 to $31.3 in 1996 compared to $35.9 for
1995. Excluding the $10.4 special charges noted above, Terex Trucks gross profit
increased $5.8 in 1996 as compared to 1995. The $10.4 special charges are
comprised mainly of $7.9 at Unit Rig for the reduction in value of the Unit Rig
Tulsa facility, due to changes in production methods and $1.9 of goodwill
associated with TEL's acquisition of its UK distributor, IMACO, which was
written off and recorded as an impairment charge in 1996. Exclusive of these
special charges, the gross profit percentage in 1996 decreased to 13.1% from
14.3% in 1995 due to an increase in the proportion of unit sales versus part
sales. Part sales have higher margins than unit sales.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $64.1 in 1996 from
$57.6 for 1995, reflecting the effects of the PPM Acquisition in May 1995.
However, engineering, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 9.4% for 1996 from 11.5% for 1995. Terex Trucks engineering,
selling and administrative expenses increased to $25.7 for 1996 from $22.9 for
1995 primarily due to costs associated with a new parts sales office and a new
U.K. dealership. Terex Cranes engineering, selling and administrative expenses
increased to $33.3 for 1996 from $28.0 for 1995, reflecting the PPM Acquisition
in May 1995 and special charges of $1.6.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Terex Cranes' income from operations of $4.8 for 1996 decreased by $2.4 over
1995, primarily due to the impairment charges at the Terex Cranes' Conway, South
Carolina, facility, which were offset somewhat by the increased net sales and
the effect of cost control initiatives implemented at all PPM operations since
they were acquired by the Company, and continued strong performance by Terex
Cranes - Waverly Operations.

Terex Trucks income from operations decreased by $7.4 to $5.6 for 1996 from
$13.0 in 1995, primarily due to the special charges mentioned above under "Gross
Profit." Excluding these charges, income from operations increased to $16.0.

On a consolidated basis, the Company had operating income of $5.1 for 1996,
compared to operating income of $12.8 for 1995, for the reasons mentioned above.

Other Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased to $43.6 for 1996 from $38.0 in 1995 as a result
of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM acquisition in May 1995. The
Company realized gains in 1996 of $3.3 from the sale of excess property
principally in Scotland and Italy.

During 1996 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $12.1; in 1995,
the Company recorded no provision for income taxes. The 1996 provision for
income taxes primarily relates to $11.3 tax expense recognized at PPM in Europe
in connection with its recapitalization which required the Company to utilize a
net operating loss carryforward. The additional $0.8 provision relates to taxes
due on the sale of property in Europe.

In 1995, the Company had a gain of $1.0 from the sale of stock of a former
subsidiary and recorded a charge of $0.5 to recognize the impairment in value of
certain properties held for sale.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in the Company's Material Handling Segment
increased $97.6 to $102.0 for 1996 as compared to $4.4 in 1995. The increased
income was primarily due to the gain realized on the sale of the Material
Handling Segment of $84.5. Gross profit for 1996 (through November 27, 1996, the
date of the sale of the Material Handling Segment) increased $1.4 to $46.0 as
compared to 1995 even though net sales decreased $45.9 or 17%. Additionally, in
1995 the Material Handling Segment recorded charges of $6.0 related to charges
for severance costs, exit costs and the impairment in value of certain
properties held for sale.

Extraordinary Items

The Company recorded a charge of $7.5 in 1995 to recognize a loss on the early
extinguishment of debt in connection with its debt refinancing in May 1995.

Net Sales

Sales increased $187.3 to $501.4, or approximately 60%, for 1995 versus 1994.

Terex Cranes sales were $252.3 for 1995, an increase of $161.9 from $90.4 in
1994 due primarily to the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. Terex Cranes backlog was
$85.3 at December 31, 1995, reflecting the additional PPM backlog, compared to
$11.7 at December 31, 1994.

Terex Trucks sales increased $23.5 for 1995 over 1994. Machines sales increased
8%, and parts sales increased 7%. The sales mix was approximately 35% parts for
1995 compared to 36% parts for 1994. Terex Trucks parts sales were adversely
affected by the strike at the Company's parts distribution center.

Terex Trucks bookings for 1995 were $271.3, an increase of $39.1, or 17%, from
1994. Terex Trucks backlog was $88.8 at December 31, 1995 compared to $67.8 at
December 31, 1994.

Gross Profit

Gross profit of $70.4 for 1995 was $22.3, or 46%, higher than gross profit of
$48.1 for 1994.

Terex Cranes gross profit increased $21.0 to $35.2 for 1995, compared to $14.2
for 1994, primarily reflecting the addition of the May through December 1995
results of the PPM businesses. The gross profit percentage for Terex Cranes was
14% for 1995 and 16% for 1994. The gross profit percentage decrease was
primarily due to costs related to integrating the PPM Acquisition into Terex
Cranes.

Terex Trucks gross profit increased $2.0 to $35.9 for 1995 compared to $33.9 for
1994. The gross profit percentage in the Terex Trucks was 14% for 1995 and 15%
for 1994.

Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $57.6 for 1995
from $37.7 for 1994. Terex Cranes engineering, selling and administrative
expenses increased to $28.0 for 1995 from $6.3 for 1994 reflecting the PPM
Acquisition in May 1995. Terex Trucks engineering, selling and administrative
expenses increased to $22.9 for 1995 from $22.7 for 1994 as a result of costs
associated with the start-up of a new parts service business, which
substantially offset the cost savings at other operations. Corporate
administrative expenses in 1994 included a charge of $2.2 in connection with the
termination of a management contract with KCS Industries, L.P. ("KCS"), a
Connecticut limited partnership principally owned by certain present and former
officers of the Company, offset by allocations to operating segments.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Terex Cranes income from operations of $7.2 for 1995 decreased by $0.7 versus
1994, primarily due to losses at the PPM businesses acquired in May 1995. As a
result of cost reductions, improvements in inventory management and
consolidation of model offerings, PPM Cranes - Waverly Operations was profitable
in 1994 and 1995 after several years of losses.

Terex Trucks income from operations improved by $1.8 to $13.0 for 1995 from
$11.2 in 1994, primarily as a result of reduced costs, offset by costs
associated with the start up of a new parts service business.

On a consolidated basis, the Company realized operating income of $12.8 for
1995, compared to $10.4 for 1994.

Other Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased to $38.0 for 1995 from $27.8 in 1994 as a result
of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. The
Company realized gains of $1.0 and $26.0 from sales of common stock of a former
subsidiary during 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company recorded a charge of $0.5 in 1995 to recognize the impairment in
value of certain properties held for sale.

The Company also incurred net foreign exchange losses of $1.9, trademark-related
expenses of $1.3, and $0.6 of group retiree expenses during 1995.

The Company recorded a charge of $2.5 in 1995 for payments related to the
retirement of its former Chairman of the Board in August 1995, and future
payments related to the consulting obligations under the retirement agreement of
the former Chairman.

During 1995 and 1994, the Company recorded no provision for income taxes.

Extraordinary Items

The Company recorded a charge of $7.5 in 1995 to recognize a loss on the early
extinguishment of debt in connection with the May 1995 refinancing. During 1994,
the Company recognized extraordinary losses totaling $0.7 to write-off
unamortized discount and debt issuance costs when it repurchased $27.3 of its
old senior secured debt.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in the Company's Material Handling Segment
increased $8.1 to $4.4 for 1995 as compared to a loss of $3.7 for 1994. The
increased income was primarily due to increased sales and to the success of the
cost reduction programs put in place in the latter half of 1995.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's businesses are working capital intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories, capital expenditures
for repair, replacement and upgrading of existing facilities as well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service requirements including semi-annual interest payments on senior debt
and upon completion of its acquisition of Simon Access Division (see "Recent
Developments" for further discussion) will have monthly interest payments on the
New Credit Facility which will replace the existing credit facility, which also
has monthly interest payments.

Debt reduction and an improved capital structure are major focal points for the
Company. In this regard, the Company regularly reviews its alternatives to
improve its capital structure and to reduce debt service through debt
refinancings, issuance of equity, assets sales, including the sale of business
units, or any combination thereof. As part of its strategy to strengthen its
capital structure and reduce debt, the Company sold its worldwide Material
Handling business on November 27, 1996 for an aggregate cash purchase price,
subject to adjustments, of $139.5. Upon closing, the Company immediately paid
down its outstanding credit facility. In accordance with the Indenture governing
the Company's 13.25% Senior Secured Notes, the Company offered to repurchase
(the "Offer") $100 principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes. The Offer
expired on December 27, 1996, but no Senior Secured Notes were tendered for
repurchase.

The Company's Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") had a 13% dividend rate,
which was to increase to 18% at the end of 1998. Consistent with its strategy to
strengthen its capital structure, on December 30, 1996, the Company called its
Series A Preferred Stock for redemption on January 29, 1997 (the "Redemption
Date"). All 1,200,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on the
Redemption Date were redeemed at a redemption price of $37.80 per share, or
approximately $45.4 in aggregate.

Net cash of $17.6 was used in operating activities during 1996 primarily due to
an increase in working capital at year end for the expansion of the business.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $135.7 during 1996 principally due
to the sale of the Company's worldwide Material Handling business for $139.5,
subject to certain adjustments. Net cash used by financing activities during
1996 was principally due to the repayment of the Credit Facility ($70.0) with
the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Material Handling business, offset
partially by the use of the lending facilities in the U.K. Cash and cash
equivalents totaled $72.0 at December 31, 1996.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company did not have any balance outstanding under
the Credit Facility, letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility totaled
$7.8, and the additional amount the Company could have borrowed was $45.3 as of
that date. TEL entered into a new bank working capital facility in 1995, and PPM
Europe received an initial credit facility of $3.0 in 1996. Management intends
to seek additional working capital financing facilities for the Company's
international operations to provide additional liquidity worldwide.

Factors affecting future liquidity

The Company currently has $250 of the Senior Secured Notes outstanding. The
Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue,
pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; utilize the proceeds of assets
sales; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates.

In connection with the PPM Acquisition, the Company issued redeemable preferred
stock of Terex Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
established to complete the PPM Acquisition, having an aggregate liquidation
preference of approximately $21.4, subject to adjustment. The purchase price is
subject to adjustment calculated by reference to Western European crane demand
in 1996 and 1997. The preferred stock does not bear a dividend and, accordingly,
the Company has valued this stock at approximately $8.8 (discounted at 15%) and
will reflect dividend accretion.

The Company's Credit Facility provides the Company with the ability to borrow
(in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 in outstanding letters of credit)
up to $100. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
domestic receivables and inventory. The amount of borrowings is limited to the
sum of the following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as
defined, of the Company's U.S. businesses, plus (ii) the lesser of 45% of the
value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised orderly
liquidation value of eligible inventory less (iii) any availability reserves
established by the lenders. The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998 unless
extended by the lenders for one additional year. At the option of the Company,
revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans initially bearing
interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate or
Eurodollar rate loans initially bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum
in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate.

On February 24, 1997 the Company agreed to buy the Simon Access Division. (See
Note Q -- "Subsequent Events" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.) In connection with the acquisition, the
Company has received a commitment for financing from a financial institution.
The commitment for the New Credit Facility is for a three year period for
$125.0. The New Credit Facility will replace the Company's $100.0 Credit
Facility and will bear interest at the Company's option of 2.5% per annum above
the LIBOR rate or 1% per annum above the prime rate. The Company expects to
complete the Simon acquisition by using $70.0 of the New Credit Facility and to
have approximately $30 million in availability after the Simon acquisition

The Company's debt service obligations for 1997 include approximately $16.6 on
May 15 and November 15, 1997 on the Senior Secured Notes and variable monthly
payments on the credit facilities, as applicable. Management believes that cash
generated from operations, together with the New Credit Facility, the Company
has adequate liquidity to meet the Company's operating and debt service
requirements.

Foreign Currencies and Interest Rate Risk

The Company's products are sold in over 50 countries around the world and,
accordingly, revenues of the Company are generated in foreign currencies, while
the costs associated with those revenues are only partly incurred in the same
currencies. The major foreign currencies, among others, in which the Company
does business are the German Mark, the Pound Sterling, and the French Franc. The
Company may, from time to time, hedge specifically identified committed cash
flows in foreign currencies using forward currency sale or purchase contracts.
[Such foreign currency contracts have not historically been material in amount.]
The Company's borrowings are at both fixed and floating rates of interest. For
the floating rate portion of the borrowings, the Company is at risk for
fluctuations in interest rates. The Company does not currently hedge any
interest rate risk.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received
an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based
on this examination. The examination report raises a variety of issues,
including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken during this
period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss carryovers
("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future taxable income. If
the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount of the tax
assessment would be approximately $56 plus interest and penalties. If the
Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment, it could
have a material adverse impact on the Company and could exceed the Company's
resources. The Company filed its administrative appeal to the examination report
in April of 1995. As a result of a meeting with the Manhattan division of the
IRS in July 1995, in June 1996 the Company was advised that the matter was being
referred back to the Milwaukee audit division of the IRS. The Milwaukee audit
division of the IRS is currently reviewing information provided by the Company
over the past 18 months. Although management believes that the Company will be
able to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the
deductions questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial support for the
Company's past and future utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this
matter is subject to the resolution of significant legal and factual issues. If
the Company's positions prevail on the most significant issues, management
believes that the amounts due would not exceed amounts previously paid or
provided; however, even under such circumstances, it is possible that the
Company's NOL's could be reduced to some extent. No additional accruals have
been made for any amounts which might be due as a result of this matter because
the possible loss ranges from zero to $56 plus interest and penalties and the
ultimate outcome cannot presently be determined or estimated. A change in
control of the Company for tax purposes could possibly result in a significant
reduction in the amount of NOL's available to the Company to offset future
taxable income.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in March of 1994
initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of its
affiliates, to determine whether violations of certain aspects of the Federal
securities laws have taken place. The Company is cooperating with the Commission
in its investigation and it is not possible at this time to determine the
outcome of the Commission's investigation. During 1996 the Company incurred $0.3
of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, directors and executives of
the Company and KCS. In general, under the Company's by-laws, the Company is
obligated to indemnify officer and directors, for all liabilities arising in the
course of their duties on behalf of the Company. To date, no officer or director
has had legal representation separate from the Company's legal representation,
and no allocation of the legal fees for such representation has been made.

The Company received a letter from the Department of Labor (the "DOL") in May of
1995, alleging that the Company's former Chairman of the Board, at the time a
fiduciary for the Company's retirement plans, violated certain provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") in making
certain investments which may have been imprudent and by possibly engaging in
prohibited transactions under ERISA. On January 31, 1997, the DOL and the
Company's former chairman entered into a settlement agreement, which, among
other things, obligated the Company's former chairman to pay certain amounts to
the Terex Corporation Master Retirement Plan Trust and to the DOL. In connection
with the DOL investigation and settlement, the Company has incurred expenses
(including legal fees) of $0.2.

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including
product liability claims, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and
guarantees. Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a
preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the Company. However, management does not believe that
these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a material
effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to
such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the
minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the
amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws
and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a
continuing basis.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information in this Annual Report includes forward looking statements
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve certain contingencies and uncertainties, including those discussed above
in the section entitled Contingencies and Uncertainties. In addition, the
Company's expectations are predominantly based on what it considers key economic
assumptions. Construction and mining activity are sensitive to interest rates,
government spending and general economic conditions. Some of the other
significant factors for the Company include foreign currency movements,
political uncertainty in various areas of the world, pricing, product
initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production
capacity, excess inventory levels, the effects of changes in laws and
regulations, employee relations and other factors. Actual events or the actual
future results of the Company may differ materially from any forward looking
statement due to such risks, uncertainties and significant factors.

The accompanying unaudited quarterly financial data of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with Item 302 of Regulation S-K. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been made and were of a normal recurring nature except for those discussed
below. Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
presentation.

The results of the Material Handling business have been accounted for as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Item 1. - Business.

In 1996, the Company recognized a gain of $2.4 in the first quarter from the
sale of excess property in Scotland. In 1996 Income (loss) from discontinued
operations includes the gain, net of income taxes, of $84.5 on the sale of the
Material Handling business in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 1996
the Company recorded special charges of $45.1, including impairment charges of
$18.7 (see Note D -- "Impairment of Long Lived Assets"), a reduction in the
value of certain assets of $8.6, $2.0 related to pre-purchase tax contingencies
at PPM, $3.0 of other one-time accruals, and income tax expense of $12.1 (see
Note I -- "Income Taxes"). Net income (loss) has been reduced by Preferred Stock
accretion for purposes of calculating earnings per share amounts. See Note J --
"Preferred Stock" in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements. In the fourth quarter of 1996 preferred stock accretion was $16.9,
which included $14.5 of additional accretion due to the redemption of the Series
A Preferred Stock on January 29, 1997.

In 1995, the Company recognized a gain of $1.0 in the first quarter as a result
of the sale of 486.6 thousand shares of common stock of a former subsidiary,

of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996
(dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)


NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation. As set forth in Note B below, the Company sold its
Material Handling business on November 27, 1996. The sale resulted in a gain of
$84.5. The Material Handling business is accounted for as a discontinued
operation in the December 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheet, and in the
consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994.

Generally accepted accounting principles permit, but do not require, the
allocation of interest expense between continuing and discontinued operations.
Because the methods allowed under generally accepted accounting principles for
calculating interest expense to be allocated to discontinued operations are not
necessarily indicative of the use of proceeds from the sale of the Material
Handling business by the Company, and the effect on interest expense of the
continuing operations of the Company, the Company has elected not to allocate
interest expense to discontinued operations. The results of this election is
that loss from continuing operations includes substantially all of the interest
expense of the Company, and income from discontinued operations does not include
any material interest expense.

The assets and liabilities of the Material Handling business as of December 31,
1995 have been segregated in the consolidated balance sheet and are shown under
"Net assets of discontinued operations."

Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Terex Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or
the "Company"). All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits
have been eliminated. The equity method is used to account for investments in
affiliates in which the Company has an ownership interest between 20% and 50%.
Investments in entities in which the Company has an ownership interest of less
than 20% are accounted for on the cost method or at fair value in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash
and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Cash Securing Letters of Credit. The Company has certain cash and cash
equivalents that are not available for use in its operations. Certain
international operations collateralize letters of credit and performance bonds
with cash deposits.

Customer Deposits. The customer deposit asset and liability in 1995 represent a
deposit made by an Australian customer on a large order placed with Unit Rig.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost
is determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for certain domestic
inventories and by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for inventories of
international subsidiaries and certain domestic inventories. Approximately 5%
and 19% of consolidated inventories at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
are accounted for under the LIFO method.

Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company's
financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the
associated debt. Capitalized debt issuance costs related to debt that is retired
early are charged to expense at the time of retirement. Debt issuance costs
before amortization totaled $16.9 and $16.1 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company amortized $2.6, $2.3 and
$2.3, respectively, of capitalized debt issuance costs; in addition, $7.5 and
$0.7 of such costs were charged to extraordinary loss on retirement of debt in
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include purchased patents and trademarks.
Costs allocated to patents, trademarks and other specifically identifiable
assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the respective estimated useful lives not exceeding seven years.

Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price
and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the
date of acquisition, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over between
fifteen and forty years. Accumulated amortization is $5.6 and $3.2 at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while
expenditures for maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an
asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred. Plant
and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets
under the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes
and both straight-line and other methods for tax purposes.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets. The Company's policy is to assess the
realizability of its long lived assets and to evaluate such assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable.
Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash
flows is less than its carrying value. The amount of any impairment then
recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated future
discounted cash flows and the carrying value of the asset. (See Note D --
"Impairment of Long Lived Assets.")

Revenue Recognition. Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to
customers. Certain new units may be invoiced prior to the time customers take
physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer
has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed,
tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the
customer has requested that the Company hold the units for pickup or delivery at
a time specified by the customer in the sales documents. In such cases, the
units are invoiced under the Company's customary billing terms, title to the
units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are
segregated from the Company's inventory and identified as belonging to the
customer and the Company has no further obligations under the order.

Accrued Warranties and Product Liability. The Company records accruals for
potential warranty and product liability claims based on the Company's claim
experience. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The
Company provides self-insurance accruals for estimated product liability
experience on known claims and for claims anticipated to have been incurred
which have not yet been reported. The Company's product liability accruals are
presented on a gross settlement basis.

Non Pension Postretirement Benefits. The Company provides postretirement
benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees and certain hourly
employees covered by bargaining unit contracts that provide such benefits and
has elected the delayed recognition method of adoption of the new standard
related to the benefits. (See Note L -- "Retirement Plans.")

Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's
international operations are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation
adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment component
of Stockholders' Deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in Other income (expense) -- net.

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge
recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain international operations and
firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into
speculative contracts. Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are
recognized in income as offsets to the gains and losses from the underlying
hedged amounts. Gains and losses on hedges of firm commitments are recorded on
the basis of the underlying transaction. At December 31, 1996 and 1995 the
Company had foreign exchange contracts, which were hedges of firm commitments,
totaling $29.4 and $21.8, respectively whose fair value approximates its
carrying value. In 1995, these contracts related primarily to the customer
deposit discussed above.

Environmental Policies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are either expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the
expenditure. Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that
do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial actions
are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such amounts were not
material at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant
improvements to existing products are included in Engineering, Selling and
Administrative Expenses.

Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon
the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The Company records a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is
dependent on future taxable income. (See Note I -- "Income Taxes.")

Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Net income (loss) per share is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the year. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (if applicable)
is calculated using the treasury stock method.

Reclassifications. Certain amounts shown for 1994 and 1995 have been
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.


NOTE B -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company sold its worldwide Material Handling business ("CMHC") on November
27, 1996 for $139.5 in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The sale resulted
in a $84.5 gain net of $2.6 of income taxes. CMHC comprised the Company's
Material Handling Segment. The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 include the results of CMHC
in "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations." Net assets of the discontinued
operations at December 31, 1995 have been segregated in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Please refer to Note A - Basis of Presentation for a discussion of

NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS

PPM, Inc. - On May 9, 1995, the Company, through Terex Cranes, Inc., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company ("Terex Cranes, Inc."), completed the
acquisition (the "PPM Acquisition") of substantially all of the shares of PPM
S.A. ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., and all of the capital stock of Legris
Industries, Inc., which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc.
("PPM North America;" and PPM North America together with PPM Europe
collectively referred to as "PPM") from Legris Industries S.A. PPM designs,
manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers primarily in North
America and Western Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of
Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the
PPM Acquisition, the Company contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of
its Koehring Cranes and Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The
former division now operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Terex Cranes Inc. ("Koehring"). Koehring manufactures mobile cranes under the
LORAIN brand name and aerial lift equipment under the MARKLIFT brand name. PPM
and Koehring comprise the Company's Terex Cranes segment.

The purchase price of PPM, including acquisition costs, was approximately
$104.5. Approximately $92.6 of the purchase price was paid in cash, including
the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid in connection
with the acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of the
issuance of redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate
liquidation preference of approximately $21.4, subject to adjustment. The
purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by reference to Western
European crane demand in 1996 and 1997. The preferred stock does not bear a
dividend and, accordingly, the Company has valued this stock at approximately
$10.0 (discounted at 15%).

The PPM Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the purchase price
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of
purchase price over the net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years. The estimated fair values of assets and
liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition are summarized as follows:

Cash............................................... $ 1.0
Accounts receivable................................ 33.8
Inventories........................................ 69.1
Other current assets............................... 11.9
Property, plant and equipment...................... 20.5
Other assets....................................... 0.3
Goodwill........................................... 68.0

The operating results of PPM are included in the Company's consolidated results
of operations since May 9, 1995. The following pro forma summary presents the
consolidated results of operations as though the Company completed the PPM
Acquisition on January 1, 1994, after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including amortization of goodwill, interest expense and amortization of debt
issuance costs on the debt issued in the Refinancing:

NOTE D -- IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES

The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" in 1996. This statement
establishes accounting standards for determining impairment of long-lived assets
and long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company assesses the realizability
of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. For assets in use or under
development, impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future cash flow
associated with the asset, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less
than the carrying amount of the asset. When the estimated future cash flow
indicates that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered, the asset
is written down to its fair value.

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill was allocated
in the PPM Acquisition to various operating units. After eighteen months of
continuous rationalization, estimated future undiscounted cash flows for certain
operations would not be sufficient to recover the goodwill and fixed assets
recorded for these operations. Thus, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
recorded an impairment charge of $16.8 ($13.3 related to goodwill and $3.5
related to fixed assets). Similarly, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
wrote off $1.9 of goodwill related to its IMACO unit in the United Kingdom.
These 1996 impairment charges totaling $18.7 are included in "Cost of Goods
Sold."

In addition to the impairment charges described above, the Company recorded
special charges of $8.6 to reduce the value of assets at Unit Rig, $2.0 related
to 1993 tax matters at PPM Europe, and $3.0 of other one-time charges during the
fourth quarter of 1996.


NOTE E -- INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

In 1994, certain inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in the liquidation
of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years.
The effects of such liquidations were to decrease cost of goods sold by $0.5 in
1994.

=========== ===========



The Senior Secured Notes

On May 9, 1995, the Company issued $250 of Senior Secured Notes due May 15,
2002. The Senior Secured Notes were issued in conjunction with the PPM
Acquisition and a refinancing of 13.0% Senior Secured Notes due August 1, 1996
("Old Senior Secured Notes"), and 13.5% Secured Senior Subordinated Notes due
July 1, 1997 ("Subordinated Notes"). Except in the event of certain asset sales,
there are no principal repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each
year to holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 and November 1,
respectively. The Notes bear interest at 13 1/4% per annum. Prior to the
consummation of an exchange offer on November 5, 1996, the interest rate on the
Notes was 13 3/4% per annum. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Senior Secured Notes are senior obligations of the Company, pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to
all subordinated indebtedness. Repayment of the Senior Secured Notes are
guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors").
The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest on
substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, other than
cash and cash equivalents, except that as to accounts receivable and inventory
and proceeds thereof, and certain related rights, such security shall be
subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working capital
or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts receivable and inventory,
including the Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Notes are also secured by a
lien on certain assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The indenture for
the Senior Secured Notes (the "Indenture") places certain limits on the
Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of
liens; issue, pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; sell assets;
consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates.

As required by the Indenture, the Company, following the sale of CMHC, offered
to repurchase (the "Offer") $100 principal amount of its 13.25% Senior Secured
Notes. The Offer expired on December 27, 1996, but with Senior Secured Notes
being tendered for repurchase. As a result, the $100 of sale proceeds was
available for other corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued
one million stock appreciation rights ("1995 SARs") entitling the holders to
receive cash or Terex Corporation common stock, at the option of the Company, in
an amount equal to the average closing sale price of the common stock for 60
trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288 for each SAR. For 1996
and 1995 no expense was recorded for the 1995 SARs as the redemption value of
the 1995 SARs never exceeded the $3.2 obligation recorded when the 1995 SARs
were issued.

The Credit Facility

The Company currently has a secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with certain institutional lenders (the "Lenders"). Under the terms
of such facility, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Borrowers") will have availability, subject to the borrowing base limitations
set forth below, in an aggregate amount of up to $100. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Credit Facility, the Borrowers may borrow (in the
form of revolving loans and up to $15 in outstanding letters of credit) an
amount at any time outstanding initially equaling the sum of the following: (i)
75% of the net amount of eligible receivables (as defined in the Credit
Facility) of the Borrowers plus (ii) the lesser of (a) 45% of the value of
eligible inventory (as defined in the Credit Facility) of the Borrowers or (b)
80% of the appraised orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory.

Each Borrower guarantees, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations
of the other Borrowers under the Credit Facility, which obligations will
generally be secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the
Lenders in all of the receivables and inventory and certain related rights of
the Borrowers.

The Company has the option to base the interest rate on prime or the Eurodollar
rate. The outstanding principal amount of prime rate loans initially bears
interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate. The
outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar rate loans initially bears interest
at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate. The
Company must pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility contains covenants limiting the Borrowers'
activities, including, without limitation, limitations on the incurrence of
indebtedness, liens, asset sales, dividends and other payments, investments,
mergers and related party transactions.

The Credit Facility matures on May 9, 1998. The Lenders, at their option, may
extend the facility for one additional year. In the event that for any reason
the facility is terminated prior to the maturity date, the Borrowers must pay to
the Lenders a termination fee of $2.0 if terminated prior to May 9, 1997 and
$1.0 thereafter.

Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes

The Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes were retired on May 9, 1995
in conjunction with the PPM Acquisition and the issuance of the Senior Secured
Notes. The Company realized an extraordinary loss of $5.7 and $1.6 on the early
extinguishment of the Old Senior Secured Notes and the Subordinated Notes,
respectively.

The indenture for the Old Senior Secured Notes required that proceeds from the
sale of collateral be used to make an offer to repurchase, at par, an equivalent
amount of Old Senior Secured Notes. During 1994, as a result of sales of shares
of a former subsidiary's common stock during 1994 and in the last quarter of
1993, the Company repurchased $27.3 principal amount of the Old Senior Secured
Notes. The Company realized an extraordinary loss of $0.7 on the repurchases in
conjunction with the accelerated write off of related discount and debt issuance
costs.

Lending Facility

The Lending Facility was terminated in May 1995 in conjunction with the PPM
Acquisition and entering into the Credit Facility. The Company realized an
extraordinary loss of $0.2 to write-off the unamortized debt issuance cost at
termination. Interest on Lending Facility borrowings was payable monthly at
variable rates generally equal to 2.75% above the prime rate.

TEL Facility

In 1995, the Company's subsidiary, Terex Equipment Limited ("TEL") located in
Motherwell, Scotland, entered into a bank facility (the "TEL Facility") which
provides up to British pounds sterling 47.0 ($80.5) including up to British
pounds sterling 10.0 ($17.1) non-recourse discounting of accounts receivable
which meet certain credit criteria, plus additional facilities for tender and
performance bonds, letters of credit discounting and foreign exchange contracts.
Interest rates vary between 1.0% - 1.5% above the financial institution's
Published Base Rate or LIBOR. The TEL Facility is collateralized primarily by
the related accounts receivable. The TEL Facility requires no performance
covenants. Proceeds from the TEL Facility are primarily used for working capital
purposes. Amounts discounted under this and the prior facility were $6.9 and
$11.7 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.




Schedule of Debt Maturities

Scheduled annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1996
in the successive five-year period are summarized below. Amounts shown are
exclusive of minimum lease payments disclosed in Note H -- "Lease Commitments":

1997................................... $ 13.3
1998................................... 1.2

2000................................... 0.5
2001................................... 0.5
Thereafter............................. 250.5
-------------
Total.............................. $ 266.6
=============


Based on quoted market values, the Company believes that the fair value of the
Senior Secured Notes was approximately $268.8 as of December 31, 1996. The
Company believes that, based on quoted market values, the carrying value of its
other borrowings approximates fair market value, based on discounting future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and
remaining maturities.

The Company paid $45.3, $43.0 and $30.0 of interest in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings outstanding was
10.0% at December 31, 1996 and 10.0% at December 31, 1995.


NOTE H -- LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles
with varying terms. Under most leasing arrangements, the Company pays the
property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased
property. Certain of the equipment leases are classified as capital leases and
the related assets have been included in Property, Plant and Equipment. Net
assets under capital leases were $8.2 and $12.3 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $9.6 and $3.5 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

Future minimum capital and noncancelable operating lease payments and the
related present value of capital lease payments at December 31, 1996 are as
follows:



Capital Operating
Leases Leases
------------- -------------

1997............................................ $ 6.3 $ 4.7
1998............................................ 3.0 2.8
1999............................................ 2.0 2.1

Present value of net minimum obligations.... 14.7
Less current portion............................ 6.0
-------------
Long-term obligations....................... $ 8.7
=============



Most of the Company's operating leases provide the Company with the option to
renew the leases for varying periods after the initial lease terms. These
renewal options enable the Company to renew the leases based upon the fair
rental values at the date of expiration of the initial lease. Total rental
expense under operating leases was $4.7, $3.9 and $3.0 in 1996, 1995, and 1994,
respectively.

========== ========== ==========



As a result of the recapitalization of PPM Europe, certain NOL benefit
carryforwards which were fully provided for at the acquisition were utilized
resulting in a deferred tax charge of $11.3 in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the basis of
assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement purposes. A valuation
allowance has been recognized for the full amount of the deferred tax assets as
it is not more likely than not that they will be fully utilized. The tax effects
of the basis differences and net operating loss carryforward as of December 31,
1996 and 1995 are summarized below for major balance sheet captions:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of January 1, 1995 was
$138.6. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996 were an increase of $11.0 and a decrease of $34.6,
respectively.

The Company's Provision for Income Taxes is different from the amount which
would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the
Company's Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes and
Extraordinary Items. The reasons for the difference are summarized below:



Year ended December 31,
--------------------------------
1996 1995 1994

Statutory federal income tax rate...... $ (14.8) $ (11.2) $ 1.7

Goodwill............................... 6.3 1.1 ---
Other.................................. 0.1 0.1 0.1
---------- ---------- ----------
Total provision for income taxes.. $ 12.1 $ --- $ ---
========== ========== ==========



The effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory
rate due primarily to utilization of NOL's and foreign tax differential on the
income of foreign subsidiaries.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on
$24.1 of foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 1996,
because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. Any income tax
liability that would result had such earnings actually been repatriated would
likely be offset by utilization of NOL's. On repatriation, certain foreign
countries impose withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be
payable on remittance of the entire amount of undistributed earnings would
approximate $4.3.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had domestic federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $188.6. Approximately $75.5 of the remaining net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to special limitations under the Internal Revenue
Code, and the NOL's may be affected by the current IRS examination discussed
below.

The tax basis net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:



Tax Basis Net
Operating Loss
Carryforwards
----------------

1997................................. $ 8.7
1998................................. 12.0
1999................................. 4.6

2010................................. 40.3
----------------
Total............................ $ 188.6
================



The Company also has various state net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2010 available to reduce future
state taxable income and income taxes. In addition, the Company's foreign
subsidiaries have approximately $64.5 of loss carryforwards, $48.7 in U.K., $8.2
in France and $7.6 in other countries, which are available to offset future
foreign taxable income. Tax loss carryforwards in France generally expire in
2000. The loss carryforwards in the U.K. and other countries are available
without expiration.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received
an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based
on this examination. The examination report raises a variety of issues,
including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken during this
period, the Company's utilization of certain NOL's and the availability of such
NOL's to offset future taxable income. If the IRS were to prevail on all the
issues raised, the amount of the tax assessment would be approximately $56 plus
interest and penalties. If the Company were required to pay a significant
portion of the assessment, it could have a material adverse impact on the
Company and could exceed the Company's resources. The Company filed its
administrative appeal to the examination report in April 1995. As a result of a
meeting with the Manhattan division of the IRS in July 1995, in June 1996 the
Company was advised that the matter was being referred back to the Milwaukee
audit division of the IRS. The Milwaukee audit division of the IRS is currently
reviewing information provided by the Company over the past 18 months. Although
management believes that the Company will be able to provide adequate
documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions questioned by the IRS
and that there is substantial support for the Company's past and future
utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the
resolution of significant legal and factual issues. If the Company's positions
prevail on the most significant issues, management believes that the amounts due
would not exceed amounts previously paid or provided; however, even under such
circumstances, it is possible that the Company's NOL's could be reduced to some
extent. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due
as a result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56
plus interest and penalties and the ultimate outcome cannot presently be
determined or estimated.

The Company made no income tax payments in 1996, 1995 and 1994.


NOTE J -- PREFERRED STOCK

The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October 1993 to
authorize 10.0 million shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. As
of December 31, 1996, a total of 1.2 million shares of preferred stock are
issued and outstanding as described below.

Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 1.2 million issued and outstanding
shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"). The Liquidation Preference totaled $45.4 at
December 31, 1996. On December 30, 1996, the Company called all of its Series A
Preferred Stock for redemption and subsequently redeemed the stock in January
1997 at an aggregate redemption price of $45.4.

The aggregate net proceeds to the Company for the Series A Preferred Stock and
the Series A Warrants issued on December 20, 1993 were $27.2. The Company
allocated $10.3 and $16.9 of this amount to the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series A Warrants, respectively, based on management's estimate of the relative
fair values of these securities at the time of their issuance, using information
provided by the Company's investment bankers. The difference between the
initially recorded amount and the redemption amount was accreted to the carrying
value of the Series A Preferred Stock using the interest method over the period
from issuance to the mandatory redemption date, December 31, 2000. As a result
of calling all of the stock for redemption on December 30, 1996, the carrying
value of the Series A Preferred Stock was further adjusted for increases in the
Liquidation Preference. The total accretion recorded in 1996 and 1995 was $22.9
and $7.3, respectively.

Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had 38.8 thousand issued and outstanding
shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). These shares constitute the remaining balance
outstanding of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain individuals on
December 9, 1994 in consideration for the early termination of a contract
between the Company and KCS Industries, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership
("KCS"), a related party.







NOTE K -- STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Common Stock. The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October
1993 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01
(the "Common Stock"), to 30.0 million. As of December 31, 1996, there were 13.2
million shares issued and outstanding. Of the 16.8 million unissued shares at
that date, 1.8 million shares were reserved for issuance for conversion of
Series B Preferred Stock (Note J) and the exercise of stock options and Series A
Warrants.

Series A Warrants. In connection with the private placement of the Series A
Preferred Stock (see Note J -- "Series A Preferred Stock"), the Company issued
1.3 million Series A Warrants of which 243.2 thousand warrants were outstanding
at December 31, 1996. Each Series A Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in
part, at the option of the holder at any time before the expiration date on
December 31, 2000 and is redeemable by the Company under certain circumstances.
As of December 31, 1996, upon the exercise or redemption of a Warrant, the
holder thereof was entitled to receive 2.41 shares of Common Stock. The exercise
price for the Warrants is $.01 for each share of Common Stock. The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or redemption of the Warrants is
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Series B Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred
Stock (see Note J -- "Series B Preferred Stock"), the Company issued 107.0
thousand Series B Warrants. At December 31, 1996, all warrants have been
exercised. The exercise price for the Warrants was $.01 for each share of Common
Stock.

Stock Options. The Company maintains a qualified incentive stock option ("ISO")
plan covering certain officers and key employees. The exercise price of the ISO
is the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The ISO allows the
holder to purchase shares of common stock, commencing one year after grant. ISO
expire after ten years. At December 31, 1996, 1.1 thousand stock options were
available for grant under the ISO.

Long-term Incentive Plans. In May 1996, the shareholders approved, the 1996
Terex Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan
authorizes the granting of (i) options ("Stock Option Awards") to purchase
shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock,
including Restricted Stock ("Stock Awards"), and (iii) cash bonus awards based
upon a participant's job performance ("Performance Awards"). Subject to
adjustment as described below under "Adjustments," the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock, if any) optioned or granted
under the 1996 Plan shall not exceed 300 thousand shares. At December 31, 1996
57.5 thousand shares were available for grant under the 1996 Plan. The Company
has proposed that the aggregate number of shares available under the 1996 Plan
be increased to 800 thousand shares, this proposal is subject to approval by the
Company's shareholders. The 1996 Plan provides that a committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more members thereof
who are non-employee directors, shall administer the 1996 Plan and has provided
the Committee with the flexibility to respond to changes in the competitive and
legal environments, thereby protecting and enhancing the Company's current and
future ability to attract and retain directors and officers and other key
employees and consultants. The 1996 Plan also provides for automatic grants of
Stock Option Awards to non-employee directors.

In 1994, the shareholders approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan")
covering certain managerial, administrative and professional employees and
outside directors. The Plan provides for awards to employees, from time to time
and as determined by a committee of outside directors, of cash bonuses, stock
options, stock and/or restricted stock. The total number of shares of the
Company's common stock available to be awarded under the Plan is 750 thousand,
subject to certain adjustments. At December 31, 1994 38.3 thousand shares were
available for grant under the Plan.




The following table is a summary of stock options under all three of the
Company's plans.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company applies APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations
in accounting for its plans and does not recognize compensation expense for its
stock-based compensation plans other than for restricted stock. If the Company
had elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the
grant date for awards under these plans consistent with the methodology
prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced by
$0.6 ($0.04 per share) and $0.6 ($0.06 per share) in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yields of 0% and 0%;
expected volatility of 58.72% and 63.76%; risk-free interest rates of 6.42% and
5.57%; and expected life of 6.6 years and 8.6 years. The weighted average fair
value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 for which the exercise price
equals the market price on the grant date was $0.4 and $1.6, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Stock Appreciation Rights. In connection with the May 1995 issuance of the
Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued 1.0 million stock appreciation rights
(the "1995 SARs") entitling the holders to receive cash or Common Stock, at the
option of the Company, in an amount equal to the average closing sale price of
the common stock for 60 trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288
for each 1995 SAR. The 1995 SARs expire on May 15, 2002. At December 31, the
average closing sale price of the common stock for 60 trading days prior to
December 31, 1996 was $8.163 per share. The Company did not record a charge for
the 1995 SARs in 1996 or 1995 since the cost to the Company is less than the
$3.2 obligation recorded when the 1995 SARs were issued.






NOTE L -- RETIREMENT PLANS

Pension Plans

US Plans

The Company maintains four defined benefit pension plans covering certain
domestic employees. The benefits for the plans covering the salaried employees
are based primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation
during the final years of employment. Participation in the plan for salaried
employees was frozen as of May 7, 1993, and no participants will be credited
with service following such date except that participants not fully vested will
be credited with service for purposes of determining vesting only. The benefits
for the plans covering the hourly employees are based primarily on years of
service and a flat dollar amount per year of service. It is the Company's policy
generally to fund these plans based on the minimum requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Plan assets consist primarily of
common stocks, bonds, and short-term cash equivalent funds.

Pension expense includes the following components for 1996, 1995 and 1994:



Year ended December 31,
--------------------------
1996 1995 1994
-------- -------- --------

Service cost for benefits earned during period..$ 0.2 $ 0.1 $ 0.2

============= ============== ============== =============== ============= ===============



The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for the periods
presented. The discount rate assumption was 7.5% for 1996, 7.5% for 1995 and
8.5% for 1994.

In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions," the Company has recorded an adjustment of $2.0 and $2.7 to recognize
a minimum pension liability at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This
liability is offset by a direct reduction of stockholders' deficit.

In December 1993, Terex contributed 350.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock
to the Master Trust for the benefit of two of the Terex plans, which were valued
by the Company at $2.3 based upon 96.5% of the market value of Terex Common
Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of contribution. The
market value of this investment was $3.5 at December 31, 1996.

International Plans

TEL maintains a government-required defined benefit plan (which includes certain
defined contribution elements) covering substantially all of its management
employees. This plan is fully funded. Pension expense relating to this plan was
approximately $0.4, $0.3 and $0.3 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

Saving Plans

The Company sponsors various tax deferred savings plans into which eligible
employees may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation. The Company
can, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans.

Other Postemployment Benefits

The Company provides postemployment health and life insurance benefits to
certain former salaried and hourly employees of Terex Cranes - Waverly
Operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," on January 1, 1993. This statement
requires accrual of postretirement benefits (such as health care benefits)
during the years an employee provides service.

Terex adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 using the delayed recognition
method, whereby the amount of the unrecognized transition obligation at January
1, 1993 is recognized prospectively as a component of future years' net periodic
postretirement benefit expense. The unrecognized transition obligation at
January 1, 1993 was $4.5. Terex is amortizing this transition obligation over 12
years, the average remaining life expectancy of the participants. The liability
of the Company, as of December 31, was as follows:



1996 1995
---------- ----------

Actuarial present value of
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation of:
Retirees.............................................. $ 2.8 $ 4.4
Active participants................................... --- ---
---------- ----------
Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation... 2.8 4.4
Unamortized transition obligation........................ (3.0) (3.4)
---------- ----------
Liability (asset) recognized in the balance sheet..... $ (0.2) $ 1.0
========== ==========



Health care trend rates used in the actuarial assumptions range from 11.5% to
12.0% These rates decrease to 5.5% over a period of 7 to 9 years. The effect of
a one percentage-point change in the health care cost trend rates would change
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation approximately 5%. The discount
rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was
7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.






Net periodic postretirement benefit expense includes the following components
for 1996 and 1995:



Year ended December 31,
----------------------------
1996 1995
------------- --------------

Service cost..................... $ --- $ ---
Interest cost.................... 0.2 0.3
Net amortization................. 0.2 0.4
------------- --------------
Total....................... $ 0.4 $ 0.7
============= ==============



The Company's postretirement benefit obligations are not funded. Net periodic
postretirement benefit expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 was approximately $0.3, $0.6 and $0.5 greater on the accrual basis than it
would have been on the cash basis.


NOTE M -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

In December 1992, a Class Action complaint was filed against a former subsidiary
of the Company, the Company, certain of the former subsidiary's then officers
and directors and certain of the underwriters of the initial public offering of
the former subsidiary, in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan, Southern Division, alleging, among other things,
violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws, and seeking
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The Company settled this
litigation, with court approval, and recorded a provision of $0.3 million in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.

In the Company's lines of business numerous suits have been filed alleging
damages for accidents that have arisen in the normal course of operations
involving the Company's products. The Company is self-insured, up to certain
limits, for these product liability exposures, as well as for certain exposures
related to general, workers' compensation and automobile liability. Insurance
coverage is obtained for catastrophic losses as well as those risks required to
be insured by law or contract. The Company has recorded and maintains an
estimated liability in the amount of management's estimate of the Company's
aggregate exposure for such self-insured risks.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings which have arisen in
the normal course of its operations. The Company has recorded provisions for
estimated losses in circumstances where a loss is probable and the amount or
range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.

The Company's outstanding letters of credit totaled $7.8. The letters of credit
generally serve as collateral for certain liabilities included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain of the letters of credit serve as collateral
guaranteeing the Company's performance under contracts.

As described in Note I -- "Income Taxes," the Internal Revenue Service is
currently examining the Company's federal tax returns for the years 1987 through
1989.

The Company has agreed to indemnify certain outside parties for losses related
to a former subsidiary's worker compensation obligations. Some of the claims for
which Terex is contingently obligated are also covered by bonds issued by an
insurance company. The Company recorded liabilities for these contingent
obligations representing management's estimate of the potential losses which the
Company might incur.


NOTE N -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman had retired from his
position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In connection with his
retirement, the Company (upon the recommendation of a committee comprised of its
independent Directors and represented by independent counsel) and the former
chairman have executed a retirement agreement providing certain benefits to the
former chairman and the Company. The agreement provides, among other things, for
a five-year consulting engagement requiring the former chairman to make himself
available to the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of
his time. The former chairman, or his designee, received a fee for consulting
services which included payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995
base salary until December 31, 1996. The agreement also provides for the
granting of a five-year $1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum
which is subject to being forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the
agreement upon certain conditions and equity grants having a maximum potential
of 200.0 thousand shares of Terex common stock conditioned upon the Company
achieving certain financial performance objectives in the future. In
contemplation of the execution of this retirement agreement, the Company
advanced to the former chairman the principal amount of the forgivable loan.
During 1996, the Company forgave $0.4 of principal on the loan along with the
current interest. The former chairman has also agreed not to compete with the
Company, to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the Company's
Board of Directors and not to acquire any additional shares of the Company's
common stock.

The Company received a letter from the Department of Labor (the "DOL") in May of
1995, alleging that the Company's former Chairman of the Board, at the time a
fiduciary for the Company's retirement plans, violated certain provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") in making
certain investments which may have been imprudent and by possibly engaging in
prohibited transactions under ERISA. On January 31, 1997, the DOL and the
Company's former chairman entered into a settlement agreement, which, among
other things, obligated the Company's former chairman to pay certain amounts to
the Terex Corporation Master Retirement Plan Trust and to the DOL. In connection
with the DOL investigation and settlement, the Company has incurred expenses
(including legal fees) of $0.2.

The Company, certain directors and executives of the Company, and KCS have been
named parties in various legal proceedings. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
Company incurred $0.3, $0.3 and $0.3, respectively, of legal fees and expenses
on behalf of the Company, directors and executives of the Company, and KCS named
in the lawsuits.

In 1995, the Company retained Jefferies & Company, Inc., of which a director of
the Company was then Executive Vice President, in connection with the offering
of the Company's $250 Senior Secured Notes and acquisition of PPM which was
completed in May 1995. Jefferies & Company, Inc. was paid $9.2 as an
underwriting discount and for services rendered.

The Company requires that all transactions with affiliates be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained in comparable transactions with
an unrelated person. The Board is advised in advance of any such proposed
transaction or agreement and utilizes such procedures in evaluating their terms
and provisions as are appropriate in light of the Board's fiduciary duties under
Delaware law. In addition, the Company has an Audit Committee consisting solely
of outside directors. One of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to
review related party transactions.


NOTE O-- BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE Q -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 24, 1997, the Company executed an Agreement of Purchase and Sale
(the "Purchase Agreement") with Simon Engineering plc and certain subsidiaries
(collectively, "Simon Engineering") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to
acquire the industrial businesses of Simon Access division ("Simon Access
Division") from Simon Engineering for approximately $90.

The Simon Access Division to be acquired consists principally of several
business units in the United States and Europe which are engaged in the
manufacture and sale of access equipment designed to position people and
materials to work at heights. The Simon Access Division products include truck
mounted aerial devices, aerial work platforms and truck mounted cranes (boom
trucks) which are sold to utility companies as well as to customers in the
industrial and construction markets. Specifically, Terex has agreed to acquire
100% of the outstanding common stock of (i) Simon-Telelect Inc., a Delaware
corporation, (ii) Simon Aerials, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation and parent
company of Simon RO, (iii) Sim-Tech Management Limited, a private limited
company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, (iv) Simon Cella, S.r.l., a
company incorporated under the laws of Italy, and (v) Simon Aerials Limited, a
company incorporated under the laws of Ireland; and 60% of the outstanding
common stock of Simon-Tomen Engineering Company Limited, a limited liability
stock company organized under the laws of Japan. Not included in the businesses
to be acquired are the Simon Access Division's fire fighting equipment
businesses.

The consummation of the acquisition is expected to take place in April 1997 and
is subject principally to the approval of the transactions the shareholders of
Simon Engineering plc. Upon consummation of the acquisition, the purchased
business units will become a part of the Terex Cranes segment.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Simon Access Division, the Company has
received a commitment for financing from a financial institution. The commitment
is for a three year period for a $125.0 credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility") to be secured by the Company's domestic receivables and inventories.
The New Credit Facility will replace the Company's $100.0 Credit Facility that
matures in May 1998.

PPM Cranes, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 1996

(In millions of dollars)


NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PPM Cranes, Inc. (the "Company" or "PPM") is engaged in the design, manufacture,
marketing and worldwide distribution and support of construction equipment,
primarily hydraulic and lattice boom cranes and related spare parts.

On May 9, 1995 (the "date of acquisition"), Terex Corporation, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc., completed the acquisition of all of
the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a Delaware Corporation which owns
92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc. Terex Corporation and Terex
Cranes, Inc., are both Delaware corporations. Prior to the acquisition of Legris
Industries, Inc. by Terex Cranes, Inc. on May 9, 1995, Legris Industries, Inc.
was a holding company, with no assets, liabilities, or operations other than its
investment in PPM.

The financial statements reflect Terex Corporation's basis in the assets and
liabilities of the Company which was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As
a result, the debt and goodwill associated with the acquisition have been
"pushed down" to the Company's financial statements.


NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; PPM of Australia Pty.
Ltd., and PPM Far East Private Ltd., a Singapore company. All material
intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated. During 1995,
management closed the operations of PPM Far East Private Ltd.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Additions and major replacements or improvements
to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs and
minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Assets of the Company
are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives, which range from three to twenty years.

Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price
and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the
date of acquisition, is amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years.
Accumulated amortization is $2.2 and $1.4 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred by Terex Corporation in
securing the financing related to acquiring the Company have been capitalized
and are reflected in the financial statements. Capitalized debt issuance costs
are amortized over the term of the related debt. Accumulated amortization is
$0.8 and $0.3 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets. The Company's policy is to assess the
realizability of its long lived assets and to evaluate such assets for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable.
Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash
flows is less than its carrying value. The amount of any impairment then
recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated future
discounted cash flows and the carrying value of the asset.

Product Liability and Warranty. The Company records accruals for potential
warranty and product liability claims based on the Company's claim experience.
Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company
provides self-insurance accruals for estimated product liability experience on
claims and for claims anticipated to have been incurred which have not yet been
reported. Prior to August 1, 1995, the Company maintained product liability
insurance; therefore, the product liability accrual was equal to the estimated
product liability less expected recoveries under insurance policies. Product
liability payments, including expenses, are estimated to be approximately $2.0
per year.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." The Company is a part of a group that files a consolidated
income tax return. The method used to allocate income taxes to members of the
group is one in which current and deferred income taxes are calculated on a
separate return basis as if the Company had not been included in a consolidated
income tax return with its parent. The tax benefit associated with the
acquisition debt has been taken into account in the Company's tax provision.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to
customers. Certain new units may be invoiced prior to the time customers take
physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer
has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed,
tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the
customer has requested that the Company hold the units for pickup or delivery at
a time specified by the customer in the sales documents. In such cases, the
units are invoiced under the Company's customary billing terms, title to the
units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are
segregated from the Company's inventory and identified as belonging to the
customer and the Company has no further obligations under the order.

Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's
international operations are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation
adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment component
of Stockholders' Deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions were not material in 1996 and 1995.

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge
recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain international operations and
firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into
speculative contracts. Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are
recognized in income as offsets to the gains and losses from the underlying
hedged amounts. Gains and losses on hedges of firm commitments are recorded on
the basis of the underlying transaction. At December 31, 1996 the Company had
no material outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

Environmental Policies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are either expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the
expenditure. Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that
do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial actions
are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such amounts were not
material at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant
improvements to existing products are included in Engineering, Selling and
Administrative Expenses and amounted to $0.1 and $0.1 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.


NOTE C -- IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

The Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," in 1996. This statement
establishes accounting standards for determining impairment of long-lived assets
and long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company assesses the realizability
of its long-lived assets and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such
assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. For assets in use or under
development, impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future cash flow
associated with the asset, undiscounted and without interest charges, is less
than the carrying amount of the asset. When the estimated future cash flow
indicates that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered, the asset
is written down to its fair value.

As required by generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill was allocated
in the PPM Acquisition to various operating units. After eighteen months of
continuous rationalization, estimated future undiscounted cash flows for certain
U.S. operations would not be sufficient to recover the goodwill and fixed assets
recorded for these operations. Thus, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
recorded an impairment charge of $13.5. These 1996 impairment charges totaling
$13.5 are included in "Cost of Goods Sold."


NOTE D -- INVENTORIES

Inventories at December 31, 1996 and 1995 consist of the following:



1996 19955
--------- ---------

Raw materials and supplies....................... $ 13.4 $ 9.4

NOTE F -- LONG TERM DEBT

Long-term debt at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows:



1996 1995
-------------- -------------

13.25% Senior Secured Notes due May 15, 2002..... $ 49.5 $ 49.4

Current portion long-term debt................... 1.3 0.9
-------------- -------------
Long-term debt less current portion......... $ 54.2 $ 54.0
============== =============



The Senior Secured Notes

On May 9, 1995, Terex Corporation issued $250 of Senior Secured Notes due May
15, 2002. The Senior Secured Notes were issued in conjunction with Terex
Corporation's acquisition of substantially all of the capital stock of PPM
Cranes, Inc. and P.P.M. S.A. and the refinancing of Terex Corporation's debt. Of
the total amount $50 relates to the acquisition of substantially all of the
capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc. and has been included in the Company's balance
sheet. Except in the event of certain asset sales, there are no principal
repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. The notes bear
interest at 13 1/4% per annum. Prior to the consummation of an exchange offer on
November 4, 1996, the interest rate on the notes was 13 3/4% per annum. Interest
is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Repayments of the Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries of Terex Corporation (the "Guarantors"), including PPM Cranes, Inc.
The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest on
substantially all of the assets of Terex Corporation and the Guarantors, other
than cash and cash equivalents, except that as to accounts receivable and
inventory and proceeds thereof, and certain related rights, such security shall
be subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working
capital or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts receivable and
inventory. The indenture for the Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on
Terex Corporation's ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the
existence of liens; issue, pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; sell
assets; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates.

Note payable - Harnischfeger Corporation

The note payable to Harnischfeger Corporation is not interest bearing.


Schedule of Debt Maturities

Scheduled annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1996
in the successive five-year period are summarized as follows:



Note Payable -
Harnischfeger Other Total
---------------- ------------- -------------

1997...........................$ 0.8 $ 0.4 $ 1.2
1998........................... 0.8 --- 0.8
1999........................... 0.8 --- 0.8
2000........................... 0.8 0.1 0.9
2001........................... 0.8 0.1 0.9
Thereafter..................... 5.0 49.7 54.7
---------------- ------------- -------------
9.0 50.3 59.3
Imputed Interest............... (4.0) --- (4.0)
---------------- ------------- -------------
$ 5.0 $ 50.3 $ 55.3
================ ============= =============



Based on quoted market values, the Company believes that the fair value of the
Senior Secured Notes was approximately $53.8 as of December 31, 1996. The
Company believes that, based on quoted market values, the carrying value of its
other borrowings approximates fair market value, based on discounting future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and
remaining maturities.


NOTE G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company participates in a defined contribution plan which is sponsored by
Terex Corporation. The plan covers U.S. employees. Under the plan, the Company
matches a portion of an employee's contribution to the plan. The related expense
to the Company was $0.1 and $0.1 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.







NOTE H -- INCOME TAXES

The components of income (loss) before income taxes consisted of the following:



Eight Months
Year Ended Ended December
December 31, 31, 1995
1996
---------------- ----------------

Domestic.................................... $ (16.3) $ (3.6)
Foreign..................................... (0.8) 0.4
---------------- ----------------

$ (17.1) $ (3.2)
================ ================



The Company has no provision for federal, foreign and state income taxes
(benefit).

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on $0.9 of cumulative undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 as these earnings will
be either permanently re-invested or remitted substantially free of additional
income tax.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the basis of
assets and liabilities for tax and financial statements purposes. In accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for income taxes," a valuation allowance fully
offsetting the net deferred tax asset, has been recognized. The tax effects of
the basis differences and Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforward as of December
31, 1996 and 1995 are summarized below:



Eight Months
Year Ended Ended December
December 31, 31, 1995
1996
----------------- ----------------

Total deferred tax liabilities............ $ --- $ (0.2)
----------------- ----------------

Receivables............................... 0.2 0.2
Inventory................................. 2.6 2.4
Fixed Assets.............................. 0.9 ---
Product liability......................... 2.0 2.2
Warranty.................................. 0.6 0.6
Other..................................... 0.3 0.1
NOL carryforwards......................... 18.0 18.1
----------------- ----------------
Total deferred tax assets................. 24.6 23.6

Deferred tax asset valuation allowance.... (24.6) (23.4)
----------------- ----------------

Net deferred taxes........................ $ --- $ ---
================= ================



The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at acquisition date, May 9,
1995, was $22.7. Any future reduction of this valuation allowance attributable
to the pre-acquisition period will reduce goodwill. The net change in the
valuation allowance for 1996 and for the eight months ending December 31, 1995
was an increase of $1.2 and $0.7, respectively.






At December 31, 1996, the Company has loss carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes of approximately $51.5 available to offset future taxable income. The
expiration of the Company's loss carryforwards are as follows:

Year
Expiring Amount
- ------------ -------------

2004 ................. $ 21.7
2005 ................. 0.8
2006 ................. 5.8
2007 ................. 15.1
2008 ................. 4.3
2009 ................. 2.4
2011 ................. 1.4
-------------
Total ................. $ 51.5
=============


The utilization of approximately $50.1 of loss carryforwards is limited
annually, as a result of an "ownership change" (as defined by Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue code), which occurred in 1995. Further, the use of these
pre-acquisition losses is limited to future taxable income of PPM Cranes, Inc.

The Company's provision for income taxes is different from the amount which
would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the
Company's loss before income taxes. The reasons for the difference are
summarized below:



Eight Months
Year Ended Ended December 31,
December 31, 1996 1995
----------------- -----------------

Statutory federal income tax rate....... $ (6.0) $ (1.1)
Utilization of foreign NOLs............. --- (0.1)
Goodwill................................ 3.9 0.5
NOL and basis differences
with no current benefit................ 2.1 0.7
----------------- -----------------
Total provision for income taxes........ $ --- $ ---
================= =================



There were no income taxes paid during 1996 and 1995.


NOTE I -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various lease agreements, primarily related to office space,
production facilities, and office equipment, which are accounted for as
operating leases. Certain leases have renewal options and provisions requiring
the Company to pay maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Rent expense for
1996 and 1995 was $0.7 and $0.6, respectively.

Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases at December 31,
1996 are as follows:

1997...................................... $ 0.6
1998...................................... 0.5
1999...................................... 0.3
2000...................................... ---
Thereafter................................. ---
--------------
$ 1.4
==============


The Company is involved in product liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation of its business. Insurance with third parties is maintained for
certain of these items. It is management's opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.


NOTE J -- FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Summarized financial data relating to the foreign subsidiaries included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are
as follows:



1996 1995
--------- -----------

Assets............................................ $ 3.8 $ 4.8
Liabilities....................................... $ 3.2 $ 2.5
Net income (loss)................................. $ (0.8) $ 0.5



Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into
United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries and translation
gains or losses related to long-term intercompany investments are included in
the foreign currency translation adjustments account in shareholders' deficit.


NOTE K -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the twelve months and eight months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, the Company had transactions with various unconsolidated
affiliates as follows:



1996 1995
--------- ---------

Product sales and service revenues................ $ 2.1 $ 1.2
Management fee expense............................ $ 1.1 $ 0.7
Interest expense.................................. $ 7.5 $ 4.8



Included in management fee expense are expenses paid by Terex Corporation on
behalf of the Company (e.g. Legal, Treasury and Tax Expense).







Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PPM Cranes, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows of PPM Cranes, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial
statements of PPM of Australia Pty. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, which
statements reflect total revenues of 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for PPM of
Australia Pty. Ltd. is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of PPM Cranes, Inc for the
year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PPM Cranes, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 1994

(In thousands of dollars)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Basis of Presentation. As more fully described in Note 8 (unaudited), Terex
Corporation ("Terex"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc.
("Terex Cranes"), completed the acquisition of substantially all of the common
stock of Legris Industries, Inc. ("Legris"), a Delaware corporation on May
9,1995. Prior to the acquisition, PPM Cranes, Inc. ("the Company"), a Delaware
corporation, was owned 92.4% by Legris, which in turn was wholly owned by Legris
Industries S.A., a French corporation. The remaining 7.6% of the Company is
owned by Harnischfeger Corporation from whom the business was purchased in 1991.

The Company has two classes of capital stock issued and outstanding - common
Class A and common Class B. These are equal in all respects except that Class B
(to be issued exclusively to Harnischfeger Corporation) is entitled to elect one
director and Class A is entitled to elect the remaining directors.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles and include the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, PPM
of Australia Pty. Ltd. and PPM Far East Pte. Ltd. All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated.

Description of Business. The Company operates in one business segment - the
design, manufacture, marketing and worldwide distribution and support of
construction equipment, primarily hydraulic and lattice boom cranes and related
spare parts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include cash on hand and overnight investments. Included in
cash and cash equivalents is $512 at December 31, 1994 invested under repurchase
agreements collateralized by U. S. Treasury Notes. Securities pledged as
collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Company's custodian bank
until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure
that the market value of this collateral is sufficient in the event of default;
however, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the
agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to
legal proceedings.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounts Receivable. The Company provides credit in the normal course of
business and performs ongoing credit evaluation on certain of its customers'
financial condition, but generally does not require collateral to support such
receivable. Accounts receivable potentially exposes the Company to concentration
of credit risk, because the Company's customers operate primarily in the
construction industry. The Company also establishes an allowance for doubtful
accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends and other information.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for domestic inventories and
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventories of foreign
subsidiaries. LIFO values are approximately equivalent to the corresponding FIFO
values at December 31, 1994.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Additions and major replacements or improvements
to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs and
minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Assets of the Company
are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives. Depreciation expense for 1994 was $76.8.

Intangible Assets. The excess of cost over fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired ("goodwill") is amortized on the straight-line method over a
period of twenty years. Other identified intangibles are primarily
organizational costs which are amortized over five years. The lives established
for these assets are a composite of many factors; accordingly, the Company
evaluates the continued appropriateness of these lives based upon the latest
available economic factors and circumstances.

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances
suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not
be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of
the goodwill is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.

Product Warranty. The Company warrants that each finished machine is
merchantable and free of defects in workmanship and material for a period of up
to one year or a specified period of use. Warranty reserves have been
established for estimated normal warranty costs and for specific problems known
to exist on products in use.

Product Liability. Reserves for product liability have been established based
upon historical loss experience for the estimated liability on incidents which
have occurred but have not yet been reported and for the estimated liability for
reported incidents.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Under FAS 109, the deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on temporary differences between the basis of certain assets
and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.

The Company is a part of a group that files a consolidated income tax return.
The method used to allocate income taxes to members of the group is one in which
current and deferred income taxes are allocated on a separate return basis as if
the Company had not been included in a consolidated income tax return with its
parent.

Revenue Recognition. Sales are recorded upon shipment or designation of specific
goods for later shipment at customers' request with related risk of ownership
passing to such customers.

Research and Development Costs. Company sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed currently. Total
expenditures for research and development for 1994 were $1,576.

Translation of Foreign Currencies. The local currencies of the Company's foreign
operations have been determined to be the functional currencies in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency
Translation". Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into United
States dollars at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the year end
exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized
in earnings. Adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements
of the foreign subsidiaries and translation gains or losses related to long-term
intercompany investments are included in the foreign currency translation
adjustments account in shareholders' equity.


3. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company has a defined contribution plan covering its U. S. employees. Under
this plan, the Company matches a portion of an employee's contribution to the
plan. The related expense to the Company was $119 for 1994.


4. INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
FAS 109. There was no cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income
taxes on the consolidated financial statements.

(Loss) income before income taxes consisted of the following:

1994
-------------
Domestic................................ $ (8,703)
Foreign................................. 220
-------------
$ (8,483)
=============


Federal, foreign, and state income taxes (benefit) consisted of the following:

1994
-------------
Federal................................. $ --
Foreign................................. --
State................................... --
-------------
$ --
=============

The Company has not provided U.S. income taxes for undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries which are considered to be retained indefinitely for
reinvestment. The distribution of these earnings would result in additional
foreign withholding taxes and additional U.S. Federal income taxes to the extent
they are not offset by foreign tax credits, but it is not practicable to
estimate the total tax liability that would be incurred upon such a
distribution.

The income tax (benefit) provision at the effective rate differed from the
benefit at the statutory rate as follows:

1994
-------------
Computed tax (benefit) at expected
statutory rate....................... $ (2,884)

State taxes............................. (364)
Change in state tax rate................ 165
Increase in valuation allowance......... 426
Nondeductible goodwill.................. 837
Adjustment of prior years' estimated
deferred tax accruals................ 1,548
Foreign taxes........................... --
Meals and entertainment................. 20
Other................................... 252
-------------
Income tax provision.................... $ --
=============


At December 31, 1994, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for
Federal income tax purposes of approximately $50,532 available to offset future
taxable income, which included net operating losses of approximately $2,000 that
existed at the date the business was acquired. The differences between the loss
carryforwards for financial reporting and income tax purposes result principally
from differences between the income tax basis and the financial reporting basis
allocated to the net assets acquired and differences in the methods of
depreciating property, plant, and equipment. For financial reporting purposes, a
valuation allowance equal to the entire benefit of the cumulative temporary
differences and net operating loss carryforwards has been recognized to offset
the net deferred tax assets.

Components of the Company's deferred taxes at December 31, 1994 are as follows:

1994
-------------
Total deferred tax liabilities.......... $ (2,253)

Total deferred tax assets, principally
net operating loss carryforwards..... 25,663

Total valuation allowance............... (23,410)
-------------
Net deferred taxes...................... $ --
=============


The expiration of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards are as follows:

Year
Expiring Amount
- ---------- -------------
2003 ............................... $ 493
2004 ............................... 667
2005 ............................... 22,421
2006 ............................... 835
2007 ............................... 5,837
2008 ............................... 15,125
2009 ............................... 5,154
-------------
$ 50,532
=============


5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has various lease agreements, primarily related to office space,
production facilities, and office equipment, which are accounted for as
operating leases. Certain leases have renewal options and provisions requiring
the Company to pay maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Rent expense for
1994 was $1,148.

Future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leases at December 31,
1994 are as follows:

1995 ..............................$ 904
1996 ............................... 620
1997 ............................... 537
1998 ............................... 508
1999 ............................... 303
Thereafter ............................... 75
------------
$ 2,947
============


The Company is involved in product liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation of its business. Insurance coverages and accruals are maintained for
claims and lawsuits of this nature. At December 31, 1994 the Company had a
reserve of $4,850 related to product liability matters, including $200 related
to unasserted claims. Actual costs to be incurred in the future may vary from
the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating the outcome of
claims and lawsuits of this nature. Although it is difficult to estimate the
liability of the Company related to these matters, it is management's opinion
that none of these lawsuits will have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

The Company is contingently liable up to $1,027 with respect to financing
arrangements and performance guarantees entered into with banks and between
certain banks and certain dealers or customers of the Company.


6. FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Summarized financial data relating to the foreign subsidiaries included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 1994 are as
follows:

Net income (loss)....................... $ 220


7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company had transactions with various unconsolidated affiliates as follows:

Product sales and service revenues...... $ 2,405
Purchases of inventory.................. 14,876
Management fee expense.................. 1,500
Interest expense........................ 2,470


8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - ACQUISITION BY TEREX
AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

On May 9, 1995, Terex, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Terex Cranes,
completed the acquisition of 99.18% of the shares of PPM S.A., a societe
anonyme, from Potain S.A., a societe anonyme, and 100% of the capital stock of
Legris, which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc., from Legris
Industries S.A., a societe anonyme. PPM Cranes, Inc. together with PPM S.A.
collectively are referred to as "PPM". PPM designs, manufactures and markets
mobile cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western
Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger
Corporation) and BENDINI.

The purchase price, together with amounts needed to repay indebtedness of PPM
required to be repaid in connection with the Acquisition, consisted of (i)
approximately $92.6 million in cash and (ii) shares of Series A Redeemable
Exchangeable Preferred Stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation
preference of approximately $25.9 million, subject to adjustment (the "Seller
Preferred Stock"). The Seller Preferred Stock bears no dividend and is
mandatorily redeemable in seven years and three months from the date of
issuance. The Seller Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time for cash (to
the extent permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture for Terex's 13
1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002) or, under certain circumstances for shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Cranes Common Stock"), of Terex
Cranes. The purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by reference to
the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined by an audit to be
conducted following the consummation of the Acquisition. Terex Cranes has not
yet reached agreement with the sellers about the amount of purchase price
adjustment but, based on work performed, Terex Cranes believes that the amount
of the Seller Preferred Stock could ultimately be reduced. In addition, the
liquidation preference and the redemption price of the Seller Preferred Stock
may be adjusted based upon the unit shipments of the mobile crane industry in
Western Europe during the second and third years following the consummation of
the Acquisition.

The funds for the cash portion of the purchase price and the repayment of debt
of the acquired businesses were obtained from the private placement on May 9,
1995 to institutional investors of units consisting of Terex's 13 1/4% Senior
Secured Notes due 2002 and common stock appreciation rights. The Senior Secured
Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of Terex and its domestic
subsidiaries, including PPM Cranes, Inc., subject to security interests granted
under the Credit Facility as described below and by liens on certain of Terex's
foreign subsidiaries, including PPM S.A.

Simultaneously with the acquisition, Terex, PPM Cranes, Inc. and certain other
domestic subsidiaries of Terex entered into a Credit Facility which provides
that the companies will be able to borrow (in the form of revolving loans and up
to $15 million in outstanding letters of credit) up to $100 million, subject to
borrowing base limitations and subject to participation commitments to be
obtained from additional lenders. The Credit Facility is secured by
substantially all of the companies domestic receivables and inventory (including
PPM Cranes, Inc.). The amount of borrowings is limited to the sum of the
following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as defined, of
Terex's U.S. businesses other than Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC") plus
(ii) 70% of the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus (iii) the lesser
of 45% of the value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised
orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (iv) any availability
reserves established by the lenders. The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998
unless extended by the lenders for one additional year. At the option of Terex,
revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans bearing interest at the
rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and Eurodollar rate loans
bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted
Eurodollar rate.

PPM Cranes, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

January 1 through May 9, 1995

(In millions unless otherwise denoted)


NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PPM Cranes, Inc. (the "Company" or "PPM") is engaged in the design, manufacture,
marketing and worldwide distribution and support of construction equipment,
primarily hydraulic and lattice boom cranes and related spare parts.

On May 9, 1995 (the "date of acquisition"), Terex Corporation, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc., completed the acquisition of all of
the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a Delaware Corporation which owns
92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc. Terex Corporation and Terex
Cranes, Inc., are both Delaware corporations.


NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries; PPM of Australia Pty.
Ltd., and PPM Far East Private Ltd., a Singapore company. All material
intercompany transactions and profits have been eliminated. During 1995,
management closed the operations in PPM Far East Private Ltd.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for domestic inventories and
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventories of foreign
subsidiaries.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Additions and major replacements or improvements
to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs and
minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. Assets of the Company
are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives.

Product Warranty. The Company warrants that each finished machine is
merchantable and free of defects in workmanship and material for a period of up
to one year or a specified period of use. Warranty reserves have been
established for estimated normal warranty costs and for specific problems known
to exist on products in use.

Product Liability. Reserves for product liability have been established based
upon historical loss experience for the estimated liability on incidents which
have occurred but have not yet been reported and for the estimated liability on
reported incidents.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."

The Company is a part of a group that files a consolidated income tax return.
The method used to allocate income taxes to members of the group is one in which
current and deferred income taxes are calculated on a separate return basis as
if the Company had not been included in a consolidated income tax return with
its parent.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to
customers.

Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's
international operations are translated at period-end exchange rates. Income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period.
For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation
adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment component
of Shareholders' Equity.

Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant
improvements to existing products are included in Engineering, Selling and
Administrative Expenses.


NOTE C -- INVENTORIES

Inventories at May 9, 1995 consist of the following:

Raw materials and parts................. $ 19.3
Work in process......................... 6.2
Finished goods and sub assemblies....... 2.5
-------------
$ 28.0
=============


The LIFO value is approximately equivalent to the corresponding FIFO value at
May 9, 1995.


NOTE D -- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Net property, plant and equipment at May 9, 1995 consists of the following:

Property, plant and equipment........... $ 7.5
Less accumulated depreciation........... (3.3)
-------------
$ 4.2
=============


NOTE E -- CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in product liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation of its business. Insurance with third parties is maintained for
certain of these items. It is management's opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
