ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO" or the "Company") is a holding company
which owns four principal operating subsidiaries:

(a) NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP. The Company owns approximately 98%
of the outstanding capital stock of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.
("Hyster-Yale"), which is the parent company of NACCO Materials Handling Group,
Inc. (For convenience of reference NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. and
Hyster-Yale hereinafter referred to as "NMHG"). NMHG markets two full lines of
forklift trucks and related service parts under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand
names. NMHG accounted for 69% and 55% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

(b) HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX. The Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, Inc. ("Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex"),is one of the nation's leading manufacturers and marketers
of small electric kitchen appliances. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex accounted for
17% and 19% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1996.

(c) NORTH AMERICAN COAL. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The
North American Coal Corporation, and its affiliated coal companies
(collectively, "North American Coal"), mine and market lignite for use primarily
as fuel for power generation by electric utilities. North American Coal also
provides dragline mining services for a limerock quarry near Miami, Florida.
North American Coal accounted for 11% and 31% of NACCO's revenues and operating
profits, respectively, in 1996.

(d) KITCHEN COLLECTION. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The
Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("Kitchen Collection"), is a national specialty
retailer of kitchenware, small electric appliances and related accessories.
Kitchen Collection accounted for 3% and 2% of NACCO's revenues and operating
profits, respectively, in 1996.

Additional information relating to financial and operating data on a
segment basis (including NACCO and Other, which reduced operating profits by 7%
in 1996) is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition, including Notes thereto, on pages 21 through
40 contained in Part II hereof and in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in Part IV hereof.

NACCO was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1986 in connection
with the formation of a holding company structure for a predecessor corporation
organized in 1913.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

In April 1996, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex announced plans to build a
new facility in Mexico to increase manufacturing capacity for new and existing
products. Construction on the new facility located in the Satillo/Monterey area
began in May 1996 and the facility is scheduled to begin production during the
second quarter of 1997. The new facility is expected to allow Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex to compete more effectively with low-cost Chinese
manufacturers.

On July 31, 1996, NMHG completed the acquisition of ORMIC, S.p.a.
("Ormic"), an Italian manufacturer of warehouse equipment, with approximately
$36 million in sales. In combination with the 1995 acquisition of DECA, S.r.l.
("DECA"), another Italian warehouse equipment company, this provides NMHG with a
strong base of product to serve the large European warehouse equipment market.

On October 18, 1996, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Housewares
Holding Company, Inc. ("Houseware Holding"), purchased the 20 percent indirect
minority ownership interest in Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex from Glen Dimplex,
an unlimited corporation incorporated in the Republic of Ireland, for $33.6
million. The Shareholders Agreement between the Company and Glen Dimplex
provided Glen Dimplex with certain rights to dispose of it's interest in
Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, including the right, at its sole option, to offer
its interest to Housewares Holding at a purchase price determined pursuant to
the Shareholders Agreement. As a result of this purchase, the Company now owns
100 percent of Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex. This purchase was funded by
borrowings under the Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex credit facility, which was
increased to $160 million to accommodate the purchase.

On November 15, 1996, the Company announced a 1.5 million share
repurchase program. The first portion of the repurchase program consisted of a
"Dutch auction" issuer tender offer to purchase up to 800,000 shares of Class A
common stock at a purchase price of not less than $43.50 and not greater than
$50.00 per share. On December 23, 1996, the Company repurchased 800,000 shares
at $50.00 per share, which represented approximately 11 percent of the
outstanding Class A common stock. As a second phase of the repurchase program,
the Company is further authorized to purchase an additional 700,000 shares of
Class A common stock pursuant to an open market purchase program during the next
two fiscal years. If fully implemented, the



2
3


shares purchased through the repurchase program would constitute approximately
21 percent of the outstanding Class A common stock prior to the initiation of
the repurchase program.

In December 1996, North American Coal was the successful bidder for two
long-term coal mining projects, the San Miguel Lignite Project in south Texas
and Phillips Coal Company's Lignite Project in Mississippi. North American Coal
will provide mining services to the San Miguel Electric Cooperative, under a
contract for 10 1/2 years, beginning in the third quarter of 1997. In addition,
North American Coal was chosen by Phillips Coal Company to be its 25% joint
venture partner to develop a new lignite mine. The joint venture agreement and
the 30 year lignite sales contract between the joint venture and the power
facility are currently being finalized. Commencement of the commercial operation
of the facility is scheduled for the year 2000.

Effective March 4, 1997, Frank B. O'Brien resigned as Senior Vice
President - Corporate Development and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.


BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

A. NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP

NMHG is one of the leading worldwide designers, manufacturers and
marketers of forklift trucks which comprise the largest segment of the materials
handling equipment industry. NMHG accounted for 55% and 43% of NACCO's assets
and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while its operations
accounted for 69% and 55% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

THE INDUSTRY

Forklift trucks are used in a wide variety of business applications
including manufacturing and warehousing. The materials handling industry,
especially in industrialized nations, is generally a mature industry, which has
historically been cyclical. Fluctuations in the rate of orders for forklift
trucks reflect the capital investment decisions of the customers, which in turn
depend upon the general level of economic activity in the various industries
served by such customers.

Since 1991, the worldwide market for forklift trucks has gradually
increased to approximately 450,000 units. During this time, however, individual
geographic markets have been subject to cyclicality. The North American market
for forklift trucks peaked in 1995 and began a cyclical downturn in 1996. The
European market reversed a declining trend in 1994, peaked in 1995 and
exhibited a slight decline in 1996. The Japanese market reversed a declining
trend in 1994 and has since exhibited modest growth. The market in Asia-Pacific
(outside of Japan) continued steady growth in 1996.

COMPANY OPERATIONS

NMHG maintains product differentiation between Hyster(R) and Yale(R)
brands of forklift trucks and distributes its products through separate
worldwide dealer networks. Nevertheless, opportunities have been identified and
addressed to improve the company's results by integrating overlapping operations
and taking advantage of economies of scale in design, manufacturing and
purchasing. NMHG provides all design, manufacturing and administrative
functions. Products are marketed and sold through two separate dealer networks
which retain the Hyster and Yale identities. In Japan, NMHG has a 50% owned
joint venture with Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd. which is generally known as
Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Group ("S-N"). S-N performs certain design
activities and produces lift trucks and components which it markets in Japan and
which are exported for sale by NMHG and its affiliates in the U.S., Europe and
Asia-Pacific.

NMHG continued to expand its presence in the European market through
the acquisition of Ormic, an Italian manufacturer of warehouse equipment. In
combination with the 1995 acquisition of DECA, another Italian warehouse
equipment company, NMHG can now provide a full line of Hyster and Yale warehouse
equipment for the European market.

PRODUCT LINES

NMHG manufactures a wide range of forklift trucks under both the
Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand names. The principal categories of forklift trucks
include electric rider, electric narrow-aisle and electric motorized hand
forklift trucks primarily for indoor use and internal combustion engine ("ICE")
forklift trucks for indoor or outdoor use. Forklift truck sales accounted for
approximately 84%, 85% and 82% of NMHG's net sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

NMHG also derives significant revenues from the sale of service parts
for its products. Profit margins on service parts are greater than those on
forklift trucks. The large population of Hyster and Yale forklift trucks now in
service provides a market for service parts. In addition to parts for its own
forklift trucks, NMHG has a program in North America (termed UNISOURCE(TM)) and
in Europe (termed MULTIQUIP(TM)) designed to supply Hyster dealers with
replacement parts for most competing brands of forklift trucks. NMHG has a
similar program (termed PREMIER(TM)) for its Yale dealers in the Americas and
Europe. Accordingly, NMHG dealers can offer their mixed fleet customers a "one
stop" supply source. Certain of these parts are manufactured by and



3
4

purchased from third party component makers. NMHG also manufactures some of
these parts through reverse-engineering of its competitors' parts. Service parts
accounted for approximately 16%, 15% and 18% of NMHG net sales in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. For further information on geographic regions see Note 16 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in
Part IV hereof.

COMPETITION

The forklift truck industry is highly competitive. The worldwide
competitive structure of the industry is fragmented by product line and country;
however, the three largest manufacturers have a significantly greater market
position on a unit volume basis than the other manufacturers. The principal
methods of competition among forklift truck manufacturers are product
performance, price, service and distribution networks. The forklift truck
industry competes with alternative methods of materials handling, including
conveyor systems, automated guided vehicle systems and hand labor. Global
competition is also affected by a number of other factors, including currency
fluctuations, variations in labor costs and effective tax rates and the costs
related to compliance with applicable regulations, including export restraints,
antidumping provisions and environmental regulations.

Although there is no official source for information on the subject,
NACCO believes that NMHG is the leading manufacturer of forklift trucks in the
world, based on number of lift trucks sold.

NMHG's position is strongest in North America, where it believes it is
the leader in unit sales of electric rider and ICE forklift trucks and has a
significant share of unit sales of electric narrow-aisle and electric motorized
hand forklift trucks. Although the European market is fragmented and competitive
positions vary from country to country, NMHG believes that it has a significant
share of unit sales of electric rider and ICE forklift trucks in Western Europe.
Although NMHG's current market share in the Asia-Pacific and Japanese markets is
lower than in other geographic areas, these markets have been targeted for
additional market share growth. The Japanese market reversed a declining trend
in 1994 and has since exhibited modest growth. The market in Asia-Pacific
(outside of Japan) continued a steady growth in 1996.

TRADE RESTRICTIONS

A. UNITED STATES

Since June 1988, Japanese-built ICE forklift trucks imported into the
U.S., with lifting capacities between 2,000 and 15,000 pounds, including
finished and unfinished forklift trucks, chassis, frames and frames assembled
with one or more component parts, have been subject to an antidumping duty
order. Antidumping duty rates in effect through 1996 range from 4.48% to 56.81%
depending on manufacturer or importer. The antidumping duty rate applicable to
imports from S-N is 51.33%, and is likely to continue unchanged for the
foreseeable future, unless S-N and NMHG decide to participate in proceedings to
have it reduced. NMHG does not currently import for sale in the United States
any forklift trucks or components subject to the antidumping duty order. This
antidumping duty order will remain in effect until the Japanese manufacturers
and importers satisfy the U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Commerce
Department") that they have not individually sold merchandise subject to the
order in the United States below foreign market value for at least three
consecutive years, or unless the Commerce Department or the U.S. International
Trade Commission finds that changed circumstances exist sufficient to warrant
the revocation of the order. The legislation implementing the Uruguay round of
GATT negotiations passed in 1994 provides that the antidumping order will be
reviewed for possible revocation in 2000. All of NMHG's major Japanese
competitors have either built or acquired manufacturing or assembly facilities
in the United States. NMHG cannot predict with any certainty if there has been
or will be any negative effects to it resulting from the Japanese sourcing of
their forklift products in the United States.

B. EUROPE

From 1986 through 1994, Japanese forklift truck manufacturers were
subject to informal export restraints on Japanese-manufactured electric rider,
electric narrow-aisle and ICE forklift trucks shipped to Europe. These informal
restraints terminated in 1995. Several Japanese manufacturers have announced
either that they have established, or intend to establish, manufacturing or
assembly facilities within the European Community. The company also cannot
predict with any certainty if there has been or will be any negative effects to
NMHG resulting from the Japanese sourcing of their forklift products in Europe.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

NMHG spent $23.3 million, $24.2 million and $23.2 million on product
design and development activities in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
Hyster(R) and Yale(R) products are differentiated for the specific needs of
their respective customer bases. NMHG continues to pursue opportunities to
improve product costs by engineering new Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand products
with component commonality.

Certain product design and development activities with respect to ICE
forklift trucks and some components are performed in Japan by S-N. S-N spent
approximately $4.2 million, $3.8 million and $4.5 million on product design and
development in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

BACKLOG

As of December 31, 1996, NMHG's backlog of unfilled orders for forklift
trucks was approximately 11,700 units, or $219 million, of which substantially
all is expected to be filled during fiscal 1997. This compares to the backlog
as of December 31, 1995 of approximately 21,200 units, or $385 million. A
softening of demand for forklift trucks in 1996 caused backlog levels to
decline as dealers sought to reduce inventory. Backlog represents unit orders
to NMHG's manufacturing plants from independent dealerships, retail customers
and contracts with the U.S. Government. Although these orders are believed to be
firm, such orders may be subject to cancellation or modification.

SOURCES

NMHG has adopted a strategy of obtaining its raw materials and
principal components on a global basis from competitively priced sources. NMHG
is dependent on a limited number of suppliers for certain of its critical
components, including diesel and gasoline engines and cast-iron counterweights
used on certain forklift trucks. There would be a material adverse effect on
NMHG if it were unable to obtain all or a significant portion of such
components, or if the cost of such components was to increase significantly
under circumstances which prevented NMHG from passing on such increases to its
customers.

DISTRIBUTION

The Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand products are distributed through
separate highly developed worldwide dealer networks. In addition, the company
has an internal sales force for each brand to sell directly to major customers.

In Japan, forklift truck products are distributed by S-N. In 1995, Yale
reached agreement with Jungheinrich Aktiengesellschaft ("Jungheinrich"), a
German manufacturer of forklift trucks, to terminate Jungheinrich's distribution
of Yale brand products in Germany and Austria at the end of 1996. By mid-1997,
NMHG will cease to provide to Jungheinrich certain ICE and electric-powered
products for sale in other major European countries under the Jungheinrich brand
name. Yale is establishing a new distribution network in Germany and has begun
appointing German dealers. The company's management does not believe that the
termination of its relationship with Jungheinrich will have a materially adverse
effect on NMHG.

FINANCING OF SALES

Hyster U.S. dealer and direct sales of Hyster products in the U.S. are
supported by leasing and financing services provided by Hyster Credit Company, a
division of AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation, pursuant to an operating
agreement which expires in 2000.

NMHG is a 20% stockholder of Yale Financial Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation, which offers U.S. dealers of
Yale products wholesale and retail financing and leasing services for its
forklift trucks. Such retail financing and leasing services are also available
to Yale national account customers.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1997, NMHG had approximately 6,350 employees.
Employees in the Danville, Illinois manufacturing and parts depot operations are
unionized, as are tool room employees located in Portland, Oregon. A three-year
contract for the Danville union employees expires in June 1997. A three-year
contract with the Portland tool room union expires in October 1997. Employees at
the facilities in Berea, Kentucky; Sulligent, Alabama; and Greenville and
Lenoir, North Carolina are not represented by unions.

In Europe, shop employees in the Craigavon, Northern Ireland facility
are unionized. Employees in the Irvine, Scotland and Nijmegen, The Netherlands
facilities are not represented by unions. The employees in Nijmegen have
organized a works council, as required by Dutch law, which performs a
consultative role on employment matters.

NMHG's management believes its current labor relations with both union
and non-union employees are generally satisfactory and that it will be able to
renew the domestic union contracts in 1997 on acceptable terms.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

NMHG's manufacturing facilities, in common with others in the industry,
are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly with respect to disposal of plant waste. NMHG's
products are also subject to various industry and governmental standards. NMHG's
management believes that the impact of expenditures to comply with such
requirements will not have a material adverse effect on NMHG.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

NMHG is not materially dependent upon patents or patent protection.
NMHG is the owner of the Hyster(R) trademark, which is currently registered in
approximately 55 countries. The Yale(R) trademark, which is used on a perpetual
royalty-free basis by NMHG in connection with the manufacture and sale of
forklift trucks and related components, is currently registered in approximately
150 countries. NMHG's management believes that its business is not dependent
upon any individual trademark registration or license, but that the Hyster(R)
and Yale(R) trademarks are material to its business.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

For a description of net sales and other financial information by
geographic region, see footnote 16 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in Part IV hereof.

B. HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX

GENERAL

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex believes that it is the largest full-line
manufacturer and marketer of small electric kitchen appliances in North America
based on market share of key product categories. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's
products are marketed primarily to retail merchants and wholesale distributors.
Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex accounted for 16% and 11% of NACCO's assets and
liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while its operations
accounted for 17% and 19% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

SALES AND MARKETING

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex manufactures and markets a wide range of
small electric kitchen appliances, including motor driven appliances such as
blenders, food processors, mixers and electric knives, and heat-generating
appliances such as toasters, irons, coffeemakers and toaster ovens. The company
markets its "better"/"best" categories under the Hamilton Beach(R) brand and
uses the Proctor-Silex(R) brand for the "good" and "better" categories. The
company markets its products primarily in North America, but also sells products
in South America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Sales are generated
predominantly by a network of inside sales employees to mass merchandisers,
national department stores, catalog showrooms, warehouse membership clubs,
variety store chains, drug store chains and other retail outlets. Principal
customers include Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Canadian Tire, Caldor, Montgomery
Ward, Zellers and SAM's Club. Sales promotional activities are primarily focused
on cooperative advertising.

Because of the seasonal nature of the markets for small electric
appliances, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes that backlog is
not a meaningful indicator of performance and is not a significant indicator of
annual sales. Backlog of orders as of December 31, 1996 was approximately $8.4
million. This compares with the aggregate backlog as of December 31, 1995 of
approximately $4.6 million. This backlog represents customer orders; customer
orders may be canceled at any time prior to shipment.

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's warranty program to the consumer
consists generally of a limited warranty lasting for two years for electric
appliances. Under its warranty program, the company may repair or replace, at
its option, those products found to contain manufacturing defects.

Revenues and operating profit for Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex are
traditionally greater in the second half of the year as sales of small electric
appliances increase significantly with the fall holiday selling season. Because
of the seasonality of purchases of its products, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex
incurs substantial short-term debt to finance inventories and accounts
receivable.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex spent $3.7 million in 1996, $3.3 million
in 1995 and $2.7 million in 1994 on product design and development activities.

SOURCES

The principal raw materials used to manufacture and distribute Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex's products are steel, aluminum, plastics and packaging
materials. The company's management believes that adequate quantities of raw
materials are available from various suppliers.

COMPETITION

The small electric kitchen appliance industry is highly competitive.
Based on publicly available information about the industry, Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes it is the largest full-line
manufacturer and marketer of small kitchen appliances in North America based on
key product categories.

As retailers generally purchase a limited selection of small electric
appliances, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex competes with other suppliers for
retail shelf space and focuses its primary marketing



6
7


efforts on retailers rather than consumers. In 1996, the company also initiated
consumer advertising for the Hamilton Beach brand. The company's management
believes that the principal areas of competition with respect to its products
are quality, price, product design, product features, merchandising, promotion
and warranty. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes that it is
competitive in all of these areas.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, in common with other manufacturers, is
subject to numerous Federal and state health, safety and environmental
regulations. The company's management believes that the impact of expenditures
to comply with such laws will not have a material adverse effect on Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex. The company's products are subject to testing or regulation
by Underwriters' Laboratories, the Canadian Standards Association and various
entities in foreign countries which review product design.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS, AND LICENSES

Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex holds patents and trademarks registered in
the United States and foreign countries for various products. The company's
management believes that its business is not dependent upon any individual
patent, trademark, copyright or license, but that the Hamilton Beach(R) and
Proctor-Silex(R) trademarks are material to its business.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1997, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's work force
consisted of approximately 3,700 employees, none of which is currently
represented by unions except for approximately 20 hourly employees at the
Picton, Ontario facility. The Picton, Ontario employees are represented by an
employee association which performs a consultative role on employment matters.

On January 17, 1997, a collective bargaining agreement was executed for
the Saltillo manufacturing facility currently under construction. The company
expects to hire approximately 300 employees within the next six months who will
be subject to the terms of this agreement

C. NORTH AMERICAN COAL

GENERAL

North American Coal is engaged in the mining and marketing of lignite
for use primarily as fuel for power generation by electric utilities.
Substantially all of the sales by North American Coal are made through wholly
owned project mining subsidiaries pursuant to long-term, cost plus a profit per
ton contracts. The utility customers have arranged and guaranteed the financing
of the development and operation of the project mining subsidiaries. There is no
recourse to NACCO or North American Coal for the financing of these subsidiary
mines. North American Coal also provides dragline mining services for a limerock
quarry near Miami, Florida. At December 31, 1996, North American Coal's
operating mines consisted of mines where the reserves were acquired and
developed by North American Coal, except for the South Hallsville No. 1 Mine
where reserves are owned by the customer. North American Coal also earns royalty
income from the lease of various coal and gas properties. For further
information as to the financing of the project mining subsidiaries, see Note 8
to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-15 and F-16 contained in
Part IV hereof. Project mining subsidiaries accounted for 22% and 30% of NACCO's
assets and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while their
operations accounted for 11% and 31% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

SALES, MARKETING AND OPERATIONS

The principal customers of North American Coal are electric utilities
and a synfuels plant. In 1996, sales to one customer, which supplies coal to
four facilities, accounted for 57% of North American Coal's revenues compared
with 46% and 45% in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The distribution of sales in
the last five years has been as follows:

The contracts under which the project mining subsidiaries were
organized provide that, under certain conditions of default, the customer(s)
involved may elect to acquire the assets (subject to the liabilities) or the
capital stock of the subsidiary, for an amount effectively equal to book value.
In one case, the customer may elect to acquire the stock of the subsidiary after
a specified period of time without reference to default, in exchange for certain
payments on coal thereafter mined. North American Coal does not know of any
conditions of default that currently exist.

The location, mine type, reserve data, ore characteristics, customer,
sales tonnage and contract expiration date for the mines operated by North
American Coal in 1996 were as follows:

Under terms of a lignite mining agreement entered into in 1985 with
Houston Lighting & Power Company ("HL&P") (as successor to Utility Fuels, Inc.),
a subsidiary of Houston Industries Incorporated, North American Coal was
retained to design, develop, construct and operate the proposed Trinity Mine in
the Malakoff-Cayuga reserves near Malakoff, Texas. The Trinity Mine was expected
to produce from 4.5 to 6.5 million tons of lignite annually. After several
delays, however, the proposed Malakoff Generating Station was canceled in July
1994. North American Coal and its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Coal
Royalty Company ("Royalty Company"), have received certain management fees,
minimum royalties and other payments in connection with the future development
of the Trinity Mine project. In December 1992 the Lignite Lease and Sublease
Agreement under which the minimum royalties were received was amended. The
parties agreed that, in light of the delayed development of this mining project,
effective January 1, 1993 HL&P was no longer obligated to pay minimum royalties
to Royalty Company. Termination of this obligation reduces North American Coal's
annual net income approximately $2.4 million, after tax. Under the original
agreement, these minimum royalty payments would have terminated at the end of
2005.

Under the lignite mining agreement with HL&P, North American Coal had
been receiving annual management fees. HL&P accelerated payment of the final
management fee of $2.6 million, after-tax, into 1995. In December 1995, HL&P
also terminated the lignite mining agreement and North American Coal will no
longer receive such management fees. Termination of this obligation reduces
North American Coal's annual net income approximately $5.3 million, after-tax
compared with 1995 levels.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

North American Coal, in common with other coal producers, continues to
be subject to Federal and state health, safety and environmental regulations.
The 1997 expenditures which will be required for compliance with the provisions
of governmental regulations, including mined land reclamation and other air and
water pollution abatement requirements, are estimated at $1.8 million for
certain closed mines and are included in the caption "Self-Insurance Reserves
and Other" in NACCO's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The active operations are required to make certain additional capital
expenditures to comply with such governmental regulations, which expenditures
will be recovered under the terms of the coal sales agreements with the utility
customers.

North American Coal's management believes that the Clean Air Act
Amendments, which became effective in 1990, will not have a material adverse
effect on its current operations, because substantially all of the power
generating facilities operated or supplied by North American Coal's customers
meet or exceed the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued Order 636,
effective in May 1992, which requires gas pipeline companies to separate or
"unbundle" their gas sales and gas transportation functions. Effectively, order
636 forced pipelines to abandon their traditional merchant function meaning that
the nation's natural gas pipeline companies, including the four which purchase
gas produced by the Great Plains Synfuels Plant ("the Synfuels Plant"), which is
supplied by the company's Coteau mining subsidiary, have much less need for gas
supply under contract and are actively seeking to restructure or terminate many
supply contracts. In 1994, the four pipeline companies that purchase gas from
the Synfuels Plant each reached a tentative settlement agreement with the
plant's operator, Dakota Gasification Company ("DGC"), and the U.S. Department
of Energy ("DOE") over the dispute regarding the pipeline companies' gas
purchase contracts. The FERC approved these settlement agreements by order of
December 18, 1996. No requests for a rehearing were filed meaning the order
became final and unappealable. The settlements resolve all pricing disputes for
past periods and establishes a new pricing formula for future gas sales.

COMPETITION

The coal industry competes with other sources of energy, particularly
oil, gas, hydro-electric power and nuclear power. Among the factors that affect
competition are the price and availability of oil and natural gas, environmental
considerations, the time and expenditures required to develop new energy
sources, the cost of transportation, the cost of compliance with governmental
regulation of operations, the impact of Federal and State energy policies and
the current trend toward deregulation of energy markets. The ability of North
American Coal to market and develop its reserves will depend upon the
interaction of these factors.

There is no official source of information on the subject, but North
American Coal believes that it is the eighth largest commercial coal producer in
the United States.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1997, North American Coal had approximately 910
employees.

D. KITCHEN COLLECTION

Kitchen Collection is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware,
small electric appliances and related accessories which operated 144 retail
stores as of February 28, 1997. Stores are located primarily in factory outlet
complexes that feature merchandise of highly recognizable name-brand
manufacturers. Kitchen Collection's product mix includes a broad line of
appliances from leading manufacturers, including Hamilton Beach(R) and
Proctor-Silex(R).

As the outlet channel of the retail industry is approaching maturity,
the management of Kitchen Collection continues to explore alternate areas of
growth and diversification. Kitchen Collection has tested several store formats
both within the outlet industry and the more traditional retail environments.
Many of these formats have failed to meet the company's rigorous financial
performance standards. Kitchen Collection continues to explore alternate
channels of distribution, including distribution through the Internet.

Kitchen Collection accounted for 1% of NACCO's assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 1996, while its operations accounted for 3% and 2% of NACCO's
revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1996.

C. NORTH AMERICAN COAL

North American Coal's proven and probable coal reserves and deposits
(owned in fee or held under leases which generally remain in effect until
exhaustion of the reserves if mining is in progress) are estimated at
approximately 2.1 billion tons, approximately 82% of which are lignite deposits
in North Dakota. Reserves are estimates of quantities of coal, made by North
American's geological and engineering staff, that are considered mineable in
the future using existing operating methods. Developed reserves are those which
have been allocated to mines which are in operation; all other reserves are
classified as undeveloped. Information concerning mine type, reserve data and
ore characteristics for North American Coal's properties are set forth on the
table on page 9 under "Item 1. Business -- C. North American Coal -- Sales,

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share, Unit, Store
and Percentage Data)

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Income before extraordinary items for 1996 was $50.6 million, or $5.67 per
share, compared with income before extraordinary items of $65.5 million, or
$7.31 per share, in 1995 and $45.3 million, or $5.06 per share, in 1994. In
1995, an extraordinary gain of $32.3 million, net-of-tax, or $3.61 per share,
was recognized as a result of an adjustment to the obligation to the United Mine
Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund. Extraordinary charges of $3.4 million
and $3.2 million net-of-tax, or $0.38 per share, and $0.36 per share,
respectively, were recognized in 1995 and 1994 to reflect debt retirement and
debt restructuring costs at NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. These
extraordinary items are discussed in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements on page F-11 and in this discussion and analysis on page 30
and page 37. Net income was $50.6 million, or $5.67 per share, in 1996, $94.4
million, or $10.54 per share, in 1995 and $42.1 million, or $4.70 per share, in
1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES--Continued
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share, Unit, Store and Percentage Data)

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION

NACoal mines and markets lignite for use primarily as fuel for power generation
by electric utilities. The lignite is surface-mined in North Dakota, Texas and
Louisiana. Total coal reserves approximate 2.1 billion tons, with 1.2 billion
tons committed to electric utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts.

In November 1995, NACoal began providing dragline mining services ("Florida
dragline operations") for a limerock quarry near Miami, Florida. The operating
results for the Florida dragline operations are included in other mining
operations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NACoal's three project mining subsidiaries (Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine) mine
lignite for utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts at a price based
on actual cost plus an agreed pretax profit per ton. Due to the cost-plus nature
of these contracts, revenues and operating profits are impacted by increases and
decreases in operating costs, as well as by tons sold. Net income of these
project mines, however, is not significantly affected by changes in such
operating costs, which include costs of operations, interest expense and certain
other items. Because of the nature of the contracts at these mines, operating
results are best analyzed in terms of income before taxes and net income.

Lignite tons sold by NACoal's operating mines were as follows for the year
ended December 31:

The favorable impact from tonnage volume at the project mines was due to
increased volume at Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine as a result of increased customer
demand. Because actual results exceeded benchmarks established in the long-term
sales contracts, NACoal received profit incentive payments in the fourth quarter
of 1996. These payments contributed to the increase in agreed profit per ton. In
addition, the agreed profit per ton increased at Coteau due to an annual
escalation of profit per ton as provided for in the long-term contract.

The increase in tonnage volume and operating costs from other mining operations
resulted from the Florida dragline's full year of operations in 1996 versus two
months in 1995.

The receipt in the second quarter of 1996 of the final escrow payment from the
sale of a previously owned eastern U.S. underground mining property resulted in
an increase in income before taxes. The decrease in royalties and other, net was
due to reduced activity at former coal properties. The decrease in management
fees results from the elimination of the management fee after the accelerated
receipt of the final management fee in 1995 under a contract mining agreement
between NACoal and a public utility company.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

The level of customer fuel requirements produced lower demand at Coteau and
Falkirk and higher demand at Sabine, resulting in a slight reduction in overall
volume at the project mines in 1995. The favorable agreed profit per ton
variance at the project mines was the result of the annual escalation in the
agreed profit per ton as provided for in the long-term contracts with each
mine's customer.

Increased sales of base tons at Red River, which yield a higher price as
specified in the supply contract, resulted in a favorable mix variance at the
other mining operations. In addition, Red River signed a new agreement with its
customer in 1995 that extends the contract term to 2010 in exchange for lower
per-ton sales prices. This resulted in the unfavorable price variance from other
mining operations.

The increase in royalties and other income, net relates to the accelerated
receipt of annual management fees under a contract mining agreement between
NACoal and a public utility company. The utility company accelerated the final
annual management fee payment of $2.6 million, after-tax, from 1996 into 1995.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Below is a detail of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31:

Effective tax rate 34.0% 32.4% 31.1%


The increase in other-net from other mining operations primarily relates to the
receipt of the final escrow payment from the 1988 sale of a previously owned
eastern underground mining property. The increase in the 1996 effective tax rate
is due to the receipt of a nonrecurring tax refund in 1995.

1997 OUTLOOK

In December 1996, NACoal was the successful bidder for two long-term coal mining
projects, the San Miguel Lignite Project in south Texas and Phillips Coal
Company's Lignite Project in Mississippi. NACoal will provide mining services to
San Miguel Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s lignite mine in Texas under a contract
for 10 1/2 years. NACoal expects to deliver approximately 1.8 million tons
during the second half of 1997 and approximately 3.0 million tons annually
through 2007. It is anticipated that NACoal's results of operations will begin
to be positively impacted during the second half of 1997. Also in December 1996,
NACoal was selected by Phillips Coal Company to be its 25% joint venture partner
to develop a new lignite mine in Mississippi. This mine will supply a
440-megawatt power generation facility to be constructed and operated by CRSS,
Inc. It is anticipated that the NACoal and Phillips Coal Company joint venture
will deliver approximately 3.0 million tons of lignite annually to CRSS's
facility. Mine development is in progress, and commercial operation of CRSS's
facility is scheduled for the year 2000. NACoal and Phillips Coal Company are in
the process of finalizing their joint venture agreement and also a lignite sales
contract between the joint venture and CRSS, which will run for 30 years. Costs
to develop the mine will be deferred until the commencement of commercial
operations.

NACoal's other lignite mines and the Florida dragline operations are expected to
produce about the same number of total tons in 1997 as in 1996, as customer
requirements appear level with the previous year. Sales contracts with customers
at Coteau, Falkirk, Sabine and Red River extend to 2037, 2020, 2020 and 2010,
respectively.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - Continued

NACoal is involved in ongoing initiatives to obtain additional mining contracts.
However, the successful achievement of these contracts is uncertain at this
time. Costs to pursue these contracts are not expected to be material in 1997.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NACoal has in place a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The expiration
date of this facility (which was extended to September 2001 during 1996) may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
NACoal and the bank group. NACoal had $21.0 million of its revolving credit
facility available at December 31, 1996. The outstanding balance of $29.0
million was loaned to the parent company to finance the stock repurchase
program, as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements on
page F-18 of this annual report.

The financing of the project mining subsidiaries, which is guaranteed by the
utility customers, consists of long-term equipment leases, notes payable and
non-interest-bearing advances from customers. The obligations of the project
mining subsidiaries do not impact the short- or long-term liquidity of the
company and are without recourse to NACCO or NACoal. These arrangements allow
the project mining subsidiaries to pay dividends in amounts equal to their
retained earnings.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment by the project mining
subsidiaries and other mining operations were $19.5 million in 1996 and $22.5
million in 1995, and are anticipated to be approximately $31.4 million in 1997.
These expenditures primarily relate to the development, establishment and
improvement of the project mining subsidiaries' mines and are financed or
guaranteed by the utility customers. The increase in 1997 expenditures primarily
relates to costs incurred to build infrastructure, as two of the mines move into
new phases of mine development. In addition, capital investments of
approximately $26.0 million necessary to establish and develop the mine for the
San Miguel Lignite Project are expected to be financed with operating lease
agreements in 1997.

NMHG, 98 percent-owned by NACCO, designs, manufactures and markets forklift
trucks and related service parts under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand names.

In July 1996, NMHG acquired the warehouse equipment business of ORMIC S.p.a.,
located near Milan, Italy. ORMIC manufactures motorized hand trucks, order
pickers and turret trucks. This acquisition, along with the 1995 acquisition of
DECA S.r.l., another Italian warehouse equipment manufacturer, strengthened
NMHG's presence in the European warehouse and distribution market.

During 1996, the market size of forklift trucks declined approximately 3 percent
on a worldwide basis. Nevertheless, NMHG obtained a slightly improved market
share in 1996 over 1995. Unit volume in the Americas declined 5 percent to
47,628 units due to the decline in market size and dealer inventory reductions.
This decline was partially offset by increased volume in Europe of 12 percent to
18,702 units and in Asia-Pacific of 7 percent to 3,059 units. Late 1995 and
mid-1996 acquisitions of European warehouse equipment businesses principally
contributed to the unit growth in Europe. Product sales mix favorably impacted
revenues due to increased sales of higher value product. Intensified pricing
pressures in the Americas due to decreased industry demand, slightly offset by
price increases implemented in Europe, caused the unfavorable pricing impact.
The improvement in service parts, concentrated in the Americas, resulted from
NMHG's increasing lift truck population.

Operating profit was positively affected by currency due to the strength of the
U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen, as costs of Japanese sourced goods
decreased. Manufacturing costs increased due to lower plant utilization and
labor inefficiencies resulting from the decline in market demand. In addition,
provisions to increase warranty and inventory reserves contributed to the
increase in manufacturing costs. Other operating expenses increased due to
higher marketing costs expended to generate sales volume and due to operating
expenses of recently acquired businesses.

Unit volumes during 1995 increased 20 percent to 49,953 units in the Americas,
37 percent to 16,701 units in Europe and 54 percent to 2,859 units in
Asia-Pacific when compared with 1994. The increased volumes resulted from growth
in both market size and market share. The price increases announced in mid-1994
favorably impacted pricing during all of 1995, while the price increases
announced in the spring of 1995 reached their full impact in the fourth quarter.
These price increases were enacted to offset the raw material cost increases and
currency impacts discussed below. The unfavorable sales mix resulted from a
shift to certain lower-margin markets in Europe and lower-margin products in
both the Americas and Europe. The strong markets in both the Americas and
Europe, along with price increases in the Americas, resulted in improved results
from sales of service parts.

The favorable impact from currency on revenues was due to the strength of
European currencies relative to the dollar. This favorable impact was offset by
the strength of the yen relative to the dollar, resulting in an unfavorable
impact on operating profit, particularly in the first nine months of 1995. The
strong yen increased the cost of purchases sourced from Japan. During 1995, NMHG
acquired DECA S.r.l., a manufacturer of European warehouse equipment located in
Italy. DECA's contribution to 1995 operating results is shown separately in the
above table.

Increased raw materials prices and manufacturing inefficiencies caused by vendor
parts shortages, the training of new employees and capacity constraints resulted
in higher manufacturing costs in 1995. Increases in new product introduction and
marketing programs, administrative costs and service parts distribution costs
resulted in higher other operating expenses.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Below is a detail of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31:


1996 1995 1994

------- ------- -------
$ (26.5) $ (25.2) $ (28.8)
======= ======= =======
Effective tax rate 42.5% 36.8% 47.7%


The debt restructurings carried out in 1994 through 1995 and equity infusions in
1994 reduced the level of high-cost debt. This resulted in lower overall
effective interest rates that reduced interest expense in 1996 and 1995 compared
with 1994.

Other-net consists primarily of equity in the earnings of Sumitomo-NACCO
("S-N"), a 50 percent-owned joint venture, certain bank service fees and gains
and losses on the sale of assets. In 1996, other-net included income of $1.5
million from S-N, compared with income of $2.2 million in 1995 and $0.5 million
in 1994. The improved results at S-N in 1996 and 1995 as compared to 1994 were
due to increasing sales volumes to NMHG and continuing manufacturing cost
reductions. In 1994, other-net also included $3.2 million of employment grant
income related to additional hiring at the Craigavon, Northern Ireland,
facility.

In 1995, NMHG reached agreements with various tax authorities resulting in
non-recurring tax benefits which lowered the effective tax rate.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES

The extraordinary charges recognized in 1995 and 1994 relate to the write-off of
premiums and unamortized financing fees. The 1995 extraordinary charge includes
a $1.3 million charge in the first quarter for unamortized financing fees when
NMHG's former revolving credit facility and senior term loan were replaced by a
new long-term revolving credit facility. The retirement of $78.5 million and
$70.0 million face-value Hyster-Yale 12 3/8% debentures in 1995 and 1994,
respectively, resulted in charges of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1995
and $3.2 million in 1994 due to the write-off of premiums and unamortized
financing fees. These retirements were achieved using internally generated funds
of NMHG and equity infusions from existing stockholders.

BACKLOG

NMHG's backlog of orders at December 31, 1996 was approximately 11,700 forklift
truck units, compared with 21,200 units and 24,600 units at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. This decrease reflects the impact of the decrease in
market size, as discussed above.

1997 OUTLOOK

The forklift truck industry has historically been cyclical, with industry demand
fluctuating with the economic conditions in the various geographic markets in
which the industry's customers operate. Based on external economic forecasts and
recent factory order levels, management expects 1997 demand to decline in North
America, while other world markets are expected to remain relatively stable. On
a worldwide basis, the company anticipates an overall decline in demand for lift
trucks. Consequently, NMHG anticipates a decrease in unit volume in 1997 as
compared to 1996. Furthermore, the North American market decline may create
pricing pressures and reduced plant utilization which could result in lower
profitability.

In 1997, NMHG will continue to strive for increased market share by focusing on
certain key markets in Europe and Asia-Pacific. To moderate the effect from
added pressure on margins that may result from a market decline, NMHG plans to
focus on programs designed to enhance cost efficiency. One such program is
Demand Flow Technology, which focuses on improving the manufacturing process.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NMHG had available $120.0 million of its $350.0 million revolving credit
facility ("NMHG Facility") at December 31, 1996. The company entered into the
NMHG Facility in 1995, to replace its former bank agreement and to refinance the
majority of its previously held long-term debt. The expiration date of the NMHG
Facility (which was extended to June 2001 during 1996) may be extended, on an
annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of NMHG and the
bank group. In addition, the NMHG Facility has performance-based pricing which
sets interest rates based upon achievement of certain financial performance
targets. NMHG has separate facilities totaling $35.7 million, of which $27.9
million was available at December 31, 1996. The company believes it can meet its
current and long-term commitments and operating needs from operating cash flow
and funds available under credit agreements.

The company has agreements which allow for the sale, without recourse, of
undivided interests in certain revolving pools of its trade accounts receivable.
The maximum allowable amount of receivables to be sold was $75.6 million at
December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, $56.3 million of NMHG's trade
receivables were sold and reflected as a reduction of receivables, net in the
consolidated balance sheet.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $42.3 million in 1996 and
$39.4 million in 1995, and are anticipated to be approximately $35.0 million in
1997. Planned expenditures relate to investments in manufacturing facilities,
worldwide information systems and tooling for new products. Capital for these
expenditures has been and is expected to be provided primarily by internally
generated funds and short-term borrowings.

HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.

HB-PS, wholly owned by NACCO, is a leading manufacturer of small electric
appliances. The housewares business is seasonal. A majority of revenues and
operating profit occurs in the second half of the year, when sales of small
electric appliances increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season.

On October 18, 1996, NACCO acquired the remaining 20 percent minority ownership
interest in HB-PS for $33.6 million. As a result, NACCO now owns 100 percent of
HB-PS, which was formed in 1990 when Proctor-Silex, Inc., which had been wholly
owned by NACCO, was combined with Hamilton Beach Inc., which had been wholly
owned by an Irish company. The 1996 acquisition of the minority interest was
financed using borrowings under HB-PS's existing revolving credit facility,
which was amended to provide borrowings up to $160.0 million. It was accounted
for as a purchase. As such, the applicable goodwill was recognized and will be
amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill acquired upon the formation of
HB-PS.

FINANCIAL REVIEW--Continued

Unit volume and sales mix favorably impacted results due to a shift in the
"better" and "best" categories from 46 percent of sales volume in 1995 to 49
percent of sales volume in 1996. Contributing to the favorable results were
increased sales of blenders, coffeemakers, food processors and sandwich makers
offset by reduced sales of toasters, irons and toaster ovens. In addition, unit
volume was favorably impacted as a result of an increase in overall market
share. The competitive pricing environment, due primarily to low-cost Chinese
imports, continues to unfavorably affect operating results. Favorable materials
pricing somewhat offset by higher overhead costs contributed to the reduction in
manufacturing costs. The reduction in materials pricing includes the favorable
effect of the 1995 acquisition of Plasticos Sotec de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
("Sotec"), which supplies plastic parts to certain of HBPS's Mexican operations.
Other operating expenses increased over 1995 due to additional marketing
expenses relating to a national advertising campaign and additional amortization
related to the 1995 acquisition of Sotec.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in revenues,
operating profit and net income for 1995 compared with 1994:


Operating Net
Revenues Profit Income
-------- ------ ------

1994 $377.5 $ 25.3 $ 10.2
Increase (decrease) in 1995 from:
Unit volume and sales mix 6.4 5.1 3.3
Average sales price (2.5) (2.5) (1.6)
Manufacturing cost -- (.2) (.1)
Other operating expense -- (2.7) (1.8)
Other income and expense -- -- (.1)
Difference between effective and
statutory tax rates -- -- 1.9
------ ------ ------
1995 $381.4 $ 25.0 $ 11.8
====== ====== ======


During 1995, the size of the domestic small electric appliance market declined
approximately 4 percent. Nevertheless, HB-PS increased its market share from
27.8 percent in 1994 to 29.9 percent in 1995. Increased sales of can openers,
irons, roaster ovens and coffeemakers, slightly offset by reduced sales of
toasters, toaster ovens and blenders, resulted in overall higher volume. In
1995, approximately 46 percent of HB-PS's total sales volume was in the
"better" and "best" product categories, compared with 43 percent in 1994. This
favorable shift in sales mix resulted in improved margins on the incremental
volumes in 1995. Reduced pricing on domestic products in the "better" and
"best" categories was the primary cause of the unfavorable price variance.
Increased selling and marketing costs as well as administrative costs caused
the unfavorable impact from other operating expenses.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Below is a detail of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31:


1996 1995 1994
------- ------- -------

Interest expense $ (6.6) $ (7.2) $ (7.5)
Other-net (.3) (.8) (.3)
------- ------- -------
$ (6.9) $ (8.0) $ (7.8)
======= ======= =======

Effective tax rate 38.5% 31.0% 41.7%


Interest expense decreased in 1996 compared with 1995 and 1994 due to lower
average borrowings and interest rates during 1996. The reduction in HB-PS's tax
rate in 1995 is primarily due to the utilization of foreign tax credits
resulting from the repatriation of foreign earnings previously taxed at a rate
in excess of the U.S. statutory tax rate.

1997 OUTLOOK

HB-PS expects 1997 to remain highly competitive with the overall industry growth
projected to be less than 1%. However, planned introductions of new products in
several categories should allow HB-PS to continue its market share growth.
Growth is also expected from the significant emphasis being placed on HB-PS's
commercial and international business units. In 1997, HB-PS plans to start up a
new manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico, which should improve HB-PS's
cost position. HB-PS's national advertising program that began in 1996 is
expected to continue in 1997, with continued emphasis on the Hamilton Beach
brand name.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

HB-PS's credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility ("HB-PS
Facility") that permits advances up to $160.0 million. At December 31, 1996,
HB-PS had $72.1 million available under the HB-PS Facility. The expiration date
of the HB-PS Facility (which was extended to May 1999 during 1996) may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
HB-PS and the bank group. The HB-PS Facility provides lower interest rates if
HB-PS achieves a certain interest coverage ratio and allows for interest rates
quoted under a competitive bid option. At December 31, 1996, HB-PS also had
$23.9 million available under separate facilities.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $15.1 million in 1996, $9.7
million in 1995 and are anticipated to be approximately $19.0 million in 1997.
These planned expenditures will be used primarily for the construction of a new
facility in Mexico, to improve manufacturing efficiency and to acquire tooling
for new and existing products. Capital for these expenditures has been and is
expected to be provided primarily by internally generated funds and bank
borrowings.

THE KITCHEN COLLECTION, INC.

KCI is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware, tableware, small electric
appliances and related accessories. The specialty retail business is seasonal,
with the majority of its revenues and operating profit generated in the fourth
quarter during the fall holiday selling season.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results of operations for KCI were as follows for the year ended December
31:


1996 1995 1994
------- ------- -------

Number of stores 144 134 119

Revenues $ 74.9 $ 69.6 $ 63.9

Operating profit $ 3.1 $ 3.3 $ 5.4

Net income $ 1.5 $ 1.6 $ 3.1


1996 COMPARED WITH 1995

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in revenues,
operating profit and net income for 1996 compared with 1995:


Operating Net
Revenues Profit Income
-------- ------ ------

1995 $ 69.6 $ 3.3 $ 1.6

Increase (decrease) in 1996 from:
Stores opened in 1996 2.6 .1 --
Stores opened in 1995 3.1 .4 .2
Comparable stores (.4) -- --
Other -- (.7) (.3)
-------- -------- -------
1996 $ 74.9 $ 3.1 $ 1.5
======== ======== =======


KCI had a net increase in new stores of 10, or approximately 8 percent, in 1996.
The increased number of stores, along with a full year's operation of the 15
stores opened in 1995, resulted in increased revenues in 1996 compared with
1995. The results at comparable stores and the profitability at new stores were
adversely affected by the continuing difficult factory outlet retail environment
evidenced by lower levels of customer traffic in factory outlet malls. The
unfavorable other variance is due to higher payroll and store rent costs.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in revenues,
operating profit and net income for 1995 compared with 1994:


Operating Net
Revenues Profit Income

1994 $ 63.9 $ 5.4 $ 3.1

Stores opened in 1994 2.9 (.2) (.1)
Comparable stores (1.8) (.9) (.5)
Other -- (1.2) (1.0)
-------- -------- -------
1995 $ 69.6 $ 3.3 $ 1.6
======== ======== =======


KCI had a net increase in new stores of 15, or approximately 13 percent, in
1995. The increased number of stores, along with a full year's operation of the
15 stores opened in 1994, resulted in increased revenues in 1995 compared with
1994. A difficult retailing environment in 1995 caused a decrease in customer
traffic, resulting in reduced sales at comparable stores. In addition, margins
were negatively impacted by this environment, along with an overall shift to
lower margin products. The unfavorable variance in other was caused primarily by
increased payroll related costs and store rent escalations.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Interest expense was $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. KCI's effective tax rate was 42.7 percent, 41.9 percent
and 40.0 percent in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

1997 OUTLOOK

The retail factory outlet environment demands value pricing, a full selection of
merchandise as well as efficient, courteous service. Meeting these demands puts
pressure on earnings, as KCI strives to maintain low costs while providing high
levels of service. Due to high levels of competition and increased employee
costs, KCI does not anticipate 1997's sales growth, if any, to significantly
benefit net income. To address these market conditions, KCI plans to emphasize
more brand name values, offer programs that encourage repeat-customer sales and
consider diversifying beyond the factory outlet malls.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

KCI's credit agreement provides for a $5.0 million revolving credit facility
("KCI Facility"). The KCI Facility has performance-based pricing which provides
for reduced interest rates based on the achievement of certain financial
performance measures. At December 31, 1996, KCI had $5.0 million of its facility
available.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES--Continued

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $1.1 million in 1996, $1.4
million in 1995 and are anticipated to be approximately $0.7 million in 1997.
These expenditures are primarily for new store openings and improvements to
existing facilities, and are funded by internally generated funds and short-term
borrowings.

NACCO AND OTHER

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NACCO and Other includes the parent company operations and Bellaire Corporation
("Bellaire"), a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO. While Bellaire's operations
are minor, it has significant long-term liabilities related to closed mine
activities, primarily from former eastern U.S. underground coal-mining
activities. Cash payments related to Bellaire's obligations, net of internally
generated cash, are funded by NACCO and amounted to $4.1 million during 1996,
$3.4 million during 1995 and are anticipated to be $4.5 million in 1997.

The results of operations at NACCO and Other were as follows for the year ended
December 31:


1996 1995 1994
------- ------- -------

Revenues $ .3 $ .5 $ .6

Operating loss $ (9.0) $ (8.8) $ (10.0)

Other income (expense), net $ .2 $ .9 $ (.5)

Loss before extraordinary items $ (5.8) $ (4.1) $ (5.2)
Extraordinary gain, net-of-tax -- 32.3 --
------- ------- -------
Net income (loss) $ (5.8) $ 28.2 $ (5.2)
======= ======= =======


The extraordinary gain in 1995 of $32.3 million, net of $19.8 million in taxes,
relates to a downward revision in the obligation to the United Mine Workers of
America Combined Benefit Fund ("UMWA"). This obligation was recognized by
Bellaire as an extraordinary charge in 1992 to accrue for the estimated costs
associated with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 ("Coal
Act"). It is the Company's policy to periodically review the estimates and
assumptions upon which various liability reserves are based. As a result of a
review of the assumptions relating to the number of Company and industry covered
beneficiaries ultimately assigned to Bellaire, and the trend of health care
costs, the aggregate estimated costs associated with the Coal Act are expected
to be lower than originally anticipated. Management believes that the liability,
revised to $69.3 million, net of $33.3 million of deferred taxes, in 1995, more
accurately represents the future cost of this obligation.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION

NMHG, HB-PS, NACoal and KCI have entered into interest rate swap agreements for
portions of their floating rate debt. These interest rate swaps provide
protection against significant increases in interest rates and have terms
ranging from one to seven years. The Company evaluates its exposure to floating
rate debt on an ongoing basis. The notional amounts, fixed rates paid and
remaining duration of these swaps for each subsidiary are included in Note 11 to
the consolidated financial statements on page F-17 of this annual report.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's manufacturing operations, like those of other companies engaged in
similar businesses, involve the use, disposal and cleanup of substances
regulated under environmental protection laws. The Company's NACoal subsidiary
is affected by the regulations of agencies under which it operates, particularly
the Federal Office of Surface Mining, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and associated state regulatory authorities. In addition, NACoal is
attentive to any changes which may arise due to proposed legislation concerning
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, reauthorization of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act
and other regulatory actions.

Compliance with these increasingly stringent standards results in higher
expenditures for both capital improvements and operating costs. The Company's
policies stress environmental responsibility and compliance with these
regulations. Based on current information, management does not expect compliance
with these regulations to have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.

NACCO has not yet adopted AICPA Statement of Position 96-1 ("SOP 96-1"),
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities." SOP 96-1 provides guidance on the
recognition and measurement of environmental remediation liabilities incurred as
a result of threatened litigation or actual assessment. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this statement, which is required in fiscal 1997, to have
a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although the subsidiaries have entered into substantial debt agreements, NACCO
has not guaranteed the long-term debt or any borrowings of its subsidiaries.

The debt agreements of HB-PS and KCI allow for the payment of dividends to NACCO
under certain circumstances. The revised credit agreement, entered into in 1995
by NMHG, allows the transfer of up to $25.0 million to NACCO. There have not yet
been any such transfers. There are no restrictions on the transfer of assets
from NACoal. Dividends and advances from NACoal, HB-PS and KCI are the primary
source of cash for NACCO.

The Company believes it can adequately meet all of its current and long-term
commitments and operating needs. This outlook stems from amounts available under
revolving credit facilities and the utility customers' funding of the project
mining subsidiaries.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION

NMHG and HB-PS operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated
in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the transaction
exposures that arise from exchange rate movements between the dates foreign
currency transactions are recorded and the dates they are consummated. The
effects of foreign currency on revenues, operating income and net income at NMHG
are discussed above. At HB-PS, foreign currency effects had an immaterial impact
on operating results year over year.

NMHG and HB-PS use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially
reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These
contracts usually have maturities of one to twelve months and generally require
the company to buy or sell Japanese yen, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars or
various European currencies for the U.S. dollar at rates agreed to at the
inception of the contracts. Gains and losses from changes in the market value of
these contracts are deferred and recognized as part of the transaction being
hedged.

The Company believes that inflation has not materially affected its results of
operations in 1996 and does not expect inflation to be a significant item in
1997.
