19% and 18% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1997.

(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 12% and 33% of NACCO's revenues and operating
profits, respectively, in 1997.

(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 1997.

Additional information relating to financial and operating data on a
segment basis (including NACCO and Other, which reduced operating profits by 6%
in 1997) is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II hereof and in Note 19
to the Consolidated Financial Statements 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 1997, NMHG announced a restructuring of its organizations around the
world to reduce costs and enhance efficiencies. In connection with the
restructuring, NMHG took a special charge of $16.3 million. NMHG is centralizing
the administrative functions of its Hyster and Yale marketing operations and
relocating those functions to one North American location (Greenville, North
Carolina) and one European location (Basingstoke, England). NMHG also is
restructuring its engineering and development function and consolidating that
function for counterbalanced trucks in Portland, Oregon for warehouse equipment
in Greenville, North Carolina and for big trucks in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
The restructuring also involves reorganizing its world headquarters in Portland,
Oregon to focus on global strategic initiatives. NMHG anticipates that the
restructuring will be completed by the end of 1998.

On December 31, 1997, the Chinese government gave approval for the
formation of Shanghai Hyster Forklift Truck, Ltd., a joint venture (the
"Shanghai Hyster Joint Venture") among NMHG (55% share), Sumitomo-NACCO
Materials Handling Group (30% share) and Shanghai Perfect Jinqiao United
Development Co. (15% share). The Shanghai Hyster Joint Venture has acquired land
in the Pudong area of Shanghai and will commence construction of a
manufacturing facility in the second quarter of 1998. NMHG expects production to
commence in the second quarter of 1999. The facility will manufacture Hyster
large and medium capacity lift trucks primarily for sale in the Chinese domestic
market. The Shanghai Hyster Joint Venture will also distribute domestic and
imported Hyster forklift trucks.

In February 1998, NMHG acquired land in Saltillo, Mexico and entered
into an agreement to construct a manufacturing facility on the land. The purpose
of the facility will be to manufacture components for shipment primarily to
NMHG's plants in the United States. NMHG expects production to commence in the
third quarter of 1998.

In April 1997, Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex began production at its
recently completed manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico. The new facility
is expected to allow Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex to compete more effectively
with low-cost Chinese manufacturers.

In July 1997, North American Coal began providing mining services at
San Miguel Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s lignite mine in Texas under a contract
for 10 1/2 years.

In September 1997, Phillips Coal Company and North American Coal formed
a joint venture (75% owned by Phillips Coal and 25% owned by North American
Coal) to develop a new lignite mine in Mississippi. The 30 year lignite sales
contract between the joint venture and the electric power facility is currently
being negotiated. Commercial operation of the electric power facility is
scheduled for the year 2000.

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 54% and 43% of NACCO's
assets and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1997, while its
operations accounted for 66% and 53% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1997.

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 475,000 units. During this time, however, individual
geographic markets have been subject to cyclicality. The North American market
for forklift trucks peaked in 1995, began a cyclical downturn in 1996 and then
recovered to a new high in 1997. The European market reversed a declining trend
in 1994, peaked in 1996 and exhibited a decline in 1997. The Japanese market
reversed a declining trend in 1994 and has since exhibited modest growth. The
market in Asia-Pacific (outside of Japan) continued modest growth in 1996 and
the first half of 1997. However, the late-1997 Asian financial crisis has
negatively impacted lift truck demand in that part of the world.

COMPANY OPERATIONS

NMHG maintains product differentiation between Hyster and Yale 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 virtually all of its own design, manufacturing and administrative
functions. Products are marketed and sold through two separate dealer networks
which retain and promote 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 under the name "Sumitomo Yale" 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 in 1996 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
and Yale 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 82%, 84% and 85% of NMHG's net sales in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
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



2
4

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 purchased from third party
component makers. Service parts accounted for approximately 18%, 16% and 15% of
NMHG net sales in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For further information on
geographic regions, see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 also 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 in 1997 NMHG was 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, Chinese and Japanese
markets is lower than in other geographic areas, these markets have been
targeted for additional opportunities. 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 and the first half of 1997.
However, the late-1997 Asian financial crisis has negatively impacted lift
truck demand in that part of the world.

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 1997 range from 7.39% 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 have been
or will be any negative effects to it resulting from Japanese manufacturers
sourcing their forklift products from 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. NMHG also cannot predict with
any certainty if there have been or will be any negative effects to NMHG
resulting from Japanese manufacturers sourcing their forklift products from
Europe.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

NMHG spent $23.5 million, $23.3 million and $24.2 million on product
design and development activities in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Hyster and Yale 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 and Yale 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 $4.1 million, $4.2 million and $3.8 million on product design and
development in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

BACKLOG

As of December 31, 1997, NMHG's backlog of unfilled orders for forklift
trucks was approximately 22,100 units, or $392 million, of which substantially
all is expected to be filled during fiscal 1998. This compares to the backlog as
of December 31, 1996 of approximately 11,700 units, or $219 million. An increase
in the demand for forklift trucks in 1997 caused backlog levels to increase as
dealers sought to increase 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 and Yale brand products are distributed through separate
highly developed worldwide dealer networks which are primarily independently
owned. In addition, NMHG 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 ceased to provide to Jungheinrich certain ICE and electric-powered products
for sale in other major European countries under the Jungheinrich brand name.
Yale is continuing to establish a new distribution network in Germany through
the appointment of additional dealers. NMHG'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 Newcourt Capital Group, 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, 1998, NMHG had approximately 7,000 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 2000. A one-year
contract with the Portland tool room union expires in October 1998. 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



4
6

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 Portland union contract in 1998 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 trademark, which is currently registered in
approximately 55 countries. The Yale 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 and
Yale trademarks are material to its business.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

For a description of net sales and other financial information by
geographic region, see Note 19 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in Part IV hereof.

B. HAMILTON BEACH*PROCTOR-SILEX

GENERAL

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-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*Proctor-Silex's
products are marketed primarily to retail merchants and wholesale distributors.
Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex accounted for 17% and 12% of NACCO's assets and
liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1997, while its operations
accounted for 19% and 18% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1997.

SALES AND MARKETING

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-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, indoor grills and toaster
ovens. Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex generally markets its "better" and "best"
categories under the Hamilton Beach(R) brand and uses the Proctor-Silex(R) brand
for the "good" and "better" categories. Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex generally
markets its products primarily in North America, but also sells products in
Latin America, Asia and Europe. Sales are generated predominantly by a network
of inside sales employees to mass merchandisers, national department stores,
variety store chains, drug store chains, catalog showrooms and other retail
outlets. Principal customers include Wal*Mart, Kmart, Target, Canadian
Tire, Caldor, Montgomery Ward, Zellers and Ames. Sales promotional activities
are primarily focused on cooperative advertising.

Because of the seasonal nature of the markets for small electric
appliances, Hamilton Beach*Proctor-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, 1997 was approximately $11.0
million. This compares with the aggregate backlog as of December 31, 1996 of
approximately $8.4 million. This backlog represents customer orders, which may
be canceled at any time prior to shipment.

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-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*Proctor-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*Proctor-Silex
incurs substantial short-term debt to finance inventories and accounts
receivable.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex spent $4.4 million in 1997, $3.7 million
in 1996 and $3.3 million in 1995 on product design and development activities.

SOURCES

The principal raw materials used to manufacture and distribute Hamilton
Beach*Proctor-Silex's products are steel, aluminum, plastic and packaging
materials. Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex'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*Proctor-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*Proctor-Silex competes with other suppliers for
retail shelf space and focuses its primary marketing efforts on retailers rather
than consumers. In 1996, the company also initiated consumer advertising for the
Hamilton Beach brand. Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex'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*Proctor-Silex's management believes that it is competitive in all
of these areas.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-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*Proctor-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*Proctor-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 and
Proctor-Silex trademarks are material to its business.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1998, Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex's work force
consisted of approximately 4,700 employees, most of which are not represented by
unions. In Canada, approximately 20 hourly employees at the Picton, Ontario
distribution facility are unionized. These 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 which was under construction at that time.
There are approximately 650 employees subject to the terms of this agreement.

Hamilton Beach*Proctor-Silex's management believes its current labor
relations with both union and non-union employees are satisfactory.

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. Sales by
North American Coal are made primarily 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, 1997, 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 and the San Miguel
Lignite Mine where reserves are owned by the customers of these mines. 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,

8
see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part IV
hereof. Project mining subsidiaries accounted for 23% and 31% of NACCO's assets
and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1997, while their operations
accounted for 10% and 30% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1997.

SALES, MARKETING AND OPERATIONS

The principal customers of North American Coal are electric utilities
and a synfuels plant. In 1997, sales to one customer, which supplies coal to
four facilities, accounted for 46% of North American Coal's revenues compared
with 57% and 46% in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The distribution of sales in
the last five years has been as follows:

1994 27.2 76% 24%
1993 26.5 75% 25%


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, coal quality characteristics,
customer, sales tonnage and contract expiration date for the mines operated by
North American Coal in 1997 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 1998 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 $5.9 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 establish 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 ninth largest commercial coal producer in
the United States.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 28, 1998, North American Coal had approximately 990
employees.

D. KITCHEN COLLECTION

Kitchen Collection is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware,
small electric appliances and related accessories which operated 143 retail
stores as of February 28, 1998. 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*Proctor-Silex.

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. For the past several years, Kitchen Collection has
been testing alternative store formats both within the outlet industry and the
more traditional retail environments. Not all of these formats have met 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, 1997, while its operations accounted for 3% and 2% of NACCO's
revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1997.

exhaustion of the reserves if mining is in progress) are estimated at
approximately 2.0 billion tons, approximately 83% of which are lignite deposits
in North Dakota. Reserves are estimates of quantities of coal, made by North
American Coal'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

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

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO," the parent company) has four operating
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"): NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc.
("NMHG"), Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. ("HB*PS"), The North American Coal
Corporation ("NACoal") and The Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("KCI").

Consolidated net income was $61.8 million, or $7.56 basic earnings per share, in
1997, $50.6 million, or $5.67 basic earnings per share, in 1996, and $94.4
million, or $10.54 basic earnings per share, in 1995. Included in the 1995 net
income are extraordinary items, which affect the year-to-year comparison. An
extraordinary gain of $32.3 million, net-of-tax, or $3.61 basic earnings per
share, was recognized as a result of an adjustment to the obligation to the
United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund ("UMWA"). In addition, an
extraordinary charge of $3.4 million, net-of-tax, or $0.38 basic earnings per
share, was recognized in 1995 to reflect retirement of debt and debt
restructuring costs at NMHG. Income before the effect of these extraordinary
items was $65.5 million, or $7.31 basic earnings per share, in 1995. See Note 3
to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part IV hereof.

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in consolidated
revenues, operating profit and net income for 1997 compared with 1996:

FINANCIAL SUMMARY--Continued

During the fourth quarter of 1997, the board of directors approved a plan to
restructure certain operating activities and to relocate certain employees at
NMHG. In accordance with this plan, NMHG recognized special charges of $16.3
million. The planned restructuring activities, which the Company began to
implement in December 1997, include the relocation and consolidation of certain
engineering and marketing functions with the objective of improving customer
service, raising productivity and thereby reducing costs. The Consolidated
Statements of Income include a Restructuring charge, which was recorded in the
fourth quarter of 1997, of $8.0 million ($4.8 million after effective tax
provision, or $0.59 per share) and represents an accrual for employee severance
costs and costs to terminate certain facility leases. In addition, Selling,
general and administrative expenses in the 1997 Consolidated Statements of
Income include a charge of $8.3 million ($5.0 million after effective tax
provision, or $0.61 per share) arising from commitments to provide relocation
benefits to certain employees. See also Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional discussion of these special charges.

Restructuring activities and employee relocations are expected to be completed
by the end of 1998, and no material incremental costs resulting from these
activities are anticipated in future periods. In 1999, it is anticipated that
cost savings will be approximately $14.0 million ($8.4 million after effective
tax provision).

Also during the fourth quarter of 1997, NMHG recognized several tax adjustments
that affect year-to-year comparability. Management identified certain future
business opportunities and financing alternatives and concluded that the
earnings of its foreign subsidiaries will remain invested offshore for the
foreseeable future. This conclusion resulted in a fourth quarter credit to net
income of $17.4 million, representing the reversal of deferred taxes on
unremitted foreign earnings of $15.3 million provided prior to 1997 and $2.1
million provided in the first three quarters of 1997. In addition, NMHG
recognized a valuation allowance of $5.9 million against certain deferred tax
assets. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further
discussion of these items. The net effect of these tax adjustments of $9.4
million (or $1.15 per share) reduced NACCO's consolidated effective tax rate by
11 percent and reduced NMHG's effective tax rate by 18 percent in 1997.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

NACCO's four subsidiaries function in distinct business environments, and
results of operations and financial condition are, therefore, discussed at the
subsidiary level. Results by segment are summarized in Note 19 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

1997 $ 1,488.0 $ 70.5 $ 38.7
============== ============== ==============


While revenues in 1997 decreased 4.6 percent, net income increased 46.6 percent.
The decrease in revenues can be attributed to a decline in worldwide unit volume
from 69,389 units in 1996 to 66,833 units in 1997. Unit volume declined
significantly during the first quarter of 1997 as compared with the first
quarter of 1996, while unit volume during the last nine months of 1997 was
comparable to the same period of 1996. The decrease in unit volume in the first
quarter of 1997 was driven by decreased demand for forklift trucks during the
fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, resulting in a decline in
production rates, especially during the first quarter of 1997. In addition to
the decrease in unit volume, a slight decline in the European market size,
coupled with adverse currency impacts on pricing, contributed to NMHG's decline
in revenue. A decrease in the Asia-Pacific market size and a decline in NMHG's
market share in that region due to intense competition also contributed to the
drop in revenue. Although revenues declined in 1997, worldwide backlog increased
to 22,100 units at December 31, 1997 from 11,700 units at December 31, 1996.

The strengthening of the British pound sterling during 1997 had an adverse
impact on NMHG's revenues, operating profit and net income. This impact on
operating profit and net income was partially offset, however, by significant
savings from material purchases denominated in Japanese yen, which weakened
against the U.S. dollar.

FINANCIAL REVIEW--Continued

Excluding the effects of the restructuring charge, the employee relocation
provision and the tax adjustments discussed previously, operating profit and net
income increased as compared with 1996. This increase primarily resulted from
improved manufacturing efficiencies, savings from process re-engineering, gains
from strategic supplier alliances, favorable sales mix and increased parts
sales. In addition, net income increased due to lower interest expense as a
result of reduced borrowings, reflecting strong operating cash flows and the
impact of the sale of certain accounts receivable.

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 $ 1,510.1 $ 83.4 $ 33.5

1996 $ 1,560.1 $ 72.5 $ 26.4
============== ============== ==============


While the worldwide market size of forklift trucks declined approximately 3
percent during 1996, 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 as the strength of the U.S.
dollar against the Japanese yen reduced the cost of Japanese sourced goods.
Manufacturing costs increased due to lower plant utilization and labor
inefficiencies resulting from the decline in market demand and due to increased
warranty and inventory reserves. Higher marketing costs expended to generate
sales volume and operating expenses of recently acquired businesses also
contributed to the decline in operating profit and net income.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES: The components of other income (expense)
and the effective tax rate are as follows for the year ended December 31:



1997 1996 1995
-------------- -------------- --------------

Interest expense $ (14.5) $ (25.0) $ (25.9)
Other-net (3.7) (1.5) .7
-------------- -------------- --------------
$ (18.2) $ (26.5) $ (25.2)
============== ============== ==============

Effective tax rate 26.0% 42.5% 36.8%


The decline in interest expense in 1997 as compared with 1996 and 1995 resulted
from both a decrease in the effective interest rate and reduced average
borrowings during 1997. The reduction in the average borrowings was facilitated
by improved cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of certain
accounts receivable.

Other-net consists primarily of equity in the earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates, including Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Group ("S-N"), a 50
percent-owned joint venture, and gains and losses on the sale of assets,
including receivables. In 1997, other-net included income of $0.4 million from
S-N, compared with income of $1.5 million in 1996 and $2.2 million in 1995.
Discounts on the sale of receivables, including domestic and international, were
$4.3 million in 1997, $1.8 million in 1996 and $1.6 million in 1995, reflecting
the 1997 addition of the domestic sale of receivables and an increase in the
amount of international receivables sold in 1997.

As noted previously, the net effect of an adjustment to reverse the unremitted
foreign earnings reserve and the recognition of a valuation allowance against
certain deferred tax assets resulted in an 18 percent reduction in the effective
tax rate in 1997. Excluding these adjustments, the increase in the 1997
effective tax rate as compared with 1996 and 1995 primarily resulted from
non-recurring favorable income tax adjustments recognized in 1996 and 1995 due
to the resolution of tax issues from prior years.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES: In 1995, NMHG recognized an extraordinary charge of $3.4
million due to the write-off of premiums and unamortized financing fees
associated with the early retirement of certain debt agreements and debentures.
See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1997, NMHG had available $181.4 million of its $350.0 million
revolving credit facility. The expiration date of this revolving credit
facility, which is currently June 2002, 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 the achievement of certain financial performance targets. NMHG
also has separate credit facilities totaling $38.5 million, of which $27.6
million was available at December 31, 1997. NMHG believes it can meet all of its
current and long-term commitments and operating needs from operating cash flows
and funds available under revolving credit agreements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.--Continued

Planned capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 1998 are
anticipated to be approximately $78.1 million, compared with capital
expenditures of $25.3 million in 1997 and $42.3 million in 1996. The increase in
the anticipated 1998 capital expenditures results from significant capital
projects to be undertaken, including: office additions related to the
restructuring program, a plant expansion in Europe, investments in manufacturing
facilities in Mexico and China, 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.

In the second quarter of 1997, NMHG entered into an agreement with a financial
institution to sell an undivided percentage ownership interest in certain
eligible domestic accounts receivable, on a revolving basis, up to a maximum of
$60.0 million. The expiration date of this agreement, which is currently April
1998, may be extended for one-year periods through April 2001, upon the mutual
consent of both parties. As of December 31, 1997, $18.6 million of NMHG's trade
receivables were sold in accordance with this agreement and are reflected in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of accounts receivable, net. The
proceeds from the sale of receivables were used to reduce the level of
borrowings under NMHG's revolving credit facility. Discounts and other
transaction losses incurred in 1997 were approximately $1.4 million and have
been reflected in other - net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. In
connection with this transaction, NMHG's revolving credit facility was amended
to provide that the total credit available at any point in time under this $350
million facility will be reduced by the amount of domestic receivables sold at
such time.

As of December 31, 1997, $33.5 million of trade accounts receivable have been
sold pursuant to the agreement discussed above and pre-existing agreements to
sell trade accounts receivable in Europe and Australia. This compares with $56.3
million of trade receivables sold as of December 31, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued

NMHG's capital structure is presented below:



DECEMBER 31 DECEMBER 31

----------------- -----------------

Total net tangible assets $ 188.4 $ 267.9
Goodwill at cost 447.7 443.6

Net assets before goodwill amortization 636.1 711.5
Accumulated goodwill amortization (94.4) (82.8)
Total debt (156.8) (258.9)
----------------- -----------------

Stockholders' equity $ 384.9 $ 369.8
================= =================

Debt to total capitalization 29% 41%



The decrease in net tangible assets of $79.5 million primarily results from a
$25.7 million decline in cash and cash equivalents, a $9.5 million reduction of
inventory, a $42.8 million increase in accounts payable and a $40.6 million
increase in other current liabilities. These items are partially offset by a
$16.9 million increase in accounts receivable, a $10.0 million addition to net
current deferred tax assets and a $12.5 million decrease in net non-current
deferred tax liabilities.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents results from the repayment of $102.1
million of debt, the expenditure of $36.9 million for capital improvements and a
business acquisition and the payment of a $15.3 million dividend to
stockholders, partially offset by cash generated from operations of $126.9
million. The decline in inventory reflects a reduction in the number of days
supply on hand and the increase in accounts payable reflects an increase in the
volume of inventory purchases. Other current liabilities have increased
primarily due to the 1997 restructuring and employee relocation reserves, an
increase in accrued warranty obligations and an increase in other employee wage
and benefit accruals. The change in accounts receivable reflects an increase in
the volume of fourth quarter 1997 sales as compared with 1996 and a reduction in
the amount of receivables sold.

The increase in net current deferred tax assets relates to provisions for
increased accruals and reserves, including the restructuring and employee
relocation reserves. The net non-current deferred tax liability decreased due to
the reversal of the reserve for unremitted foreign earnings, as previously
discussed.

Debt levels declined due to an improvement in domestic cash flow and proceeds
from the sale of accounts receivable which were used to retire debt.

FINANCIAL REVIEW--Continued

Revenues in 1997 increased due to an increase in unit volume, partially offset
by a decline in the average sales price per unit. Increased volume from 29.6
million units in 1996 to 33.4 million units in 1997 resulted from increased
sales of toasters, blenders, hand mixers and irons, partially offset by
decreased sales of toaster ovens, roasters and can openers. These volume
increases were largely driven by increased sales to key mass merchants and
resulted in improved market share. The increase in operating profit and net
income resulting from this volume growth was almost entirely offset by price
decreases primarily on irons, toasters, coffeemakers and indoor grills, which
were necessary to compete with Chinese imports. Also contributing to the decline
in net income were higher employee costs, start-up costs of the Saltillo
facility, expenses to reduce manufacturing activities in the United States and
increased interest expense due to higher average debt levels. Average debt
levels were higher in 1997 due to capital expenditures and the 1996 purchase of
the minority interest.

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 $ 381.4 $ 25.0 $ 11.8

Increase (decrease) in 1996 from:
Unit volume and sales mix 23.3 11.1 7.2
Average sales price (9.6) (9.6) (6.3)
Manufacturing cost -- 5.1 3.3
Other operating expense -- (7.3) (4.7)

Difference between effective and
statutory tax rates -- -- (1.3)
-------------- -------------- --------------

1996 $ 395.1 $ 24.3 $ 10.7
============== ============== ==============


Increased unit sales of blenders, coffeemakers, food processors and sandwich
makers partially offset by reduced unit sales of toasters, irons and toaster
ovens were driven by increased sales to key mass merchants and resulted in
improved market share. The benefit from this volume growth was somewhat offset
by a decrease in the average sales price due to competition from low-cost
Chinese imports. 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 HB*PS'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.

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

Effective tax rate 43.6% 38.5% 31.0%


Interest expense in 1996 was less than 1997 and 1995 due to lower average
borrowings during 1996. The effective tax rates in 1996 and 1995 were reduced by
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. In addition, the effective tax rate for 1996 was also reduced by favorable
income tax adjustments relating to the resolution of tax issues from prior
years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

HB*PS has in place a $160.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in
May 2002 and is secured by substantially all of HB*PS's assets. This 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, 1997, HB*PS had $82.9 million available under this facility and
also had $24.7 million available under separate facilities. HB*PS believes it
can meet all of its current and long-term commitments and operating needs from
operating cash flows and funds available under revolving credit agreements.

Planned expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 1998 are anticipated
to be approximately $16.5 million, compared with capital expenditures of $17.7
million in 1997 and $15.1 million in 1996. Planned expenditures for 1998 include
purchases of machinery and equipment which will be used primarily to reduce
manufacturing costs and increase efficiency. Capital for these expenditures has
been and is expected to be provided primarily by internally generated funds and
bank borrowings.

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 2.0 billion tons, with 1.2 billion
tons committed to electric utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts.
NACoal operates five lignite mines, including three project mining subsidiaries
(Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine), a NACoal division (San Miguel) and a joint venture
with Phillips Coal Company (Red River).

NACoal signed a contract to mine lignite for San Miguel Electric Cooperative on
January 22, 1997. The contract requires NACoal to deliver lignite tons at a
specified fixed price over the next 10 years, expiring on December 31, 2007.
Operations with NACoal as the new mine operator began as scheduled on July 1,
1997. NACoal delivered approximately 2.0 million tons during the second half of
1997 and expects to deliver 3.0 million tons annually through 2007.

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), which
represent a significant portion of NACoal's operations, 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 lignite tons sold, income before taxes and net income.

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

-------------- --------------- --------------

1997 $ 262.9 $ 27.1 $ 19.0
============== =============== ==============


Operating results from project mines declined from 1996 due to a decrease in
project mine incentive payments received. These incentive payments were received
in 1996 because actual operating results exceeded benchmarks specified in the
long-term sales contracts. Excluding this variance, operating results at the
project mines were comparable, as increased tons sold by Coteau and Sabine were
offset by decreased tons sold by Falkirk. As compared with 1996, tons sold by
Coteau and Sabine increased due to customer requirements, while tons sold by
Falkirk decreased due to adverse weather conditions during the first quarter of
1997 and a customer's power plant outage in the first half of 1997. Operating
results from other mining operations improved due to increased tons sold by Red
River and the addition of the San Miguel lignite mining operation, which
completed its first six months of operations in 1997. In 1996, NACoal received a
non-recurring escrow payment, which negatively affects the year-to-year
comparison.

Difference between effective and
statutory tax rates -- -- (.6)
-------------- --------------- --------------

1996 $ 249.1 $ 29.1 $ 19.2
============== =============== ==============


Increased tonnage volume at Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine as a result of increased
customer demand, a project mine incentive payment received in the fourth quarter
of 1996 and an escalation in the profit per ton as provided in Coteau's
long-term sales contract contributed to improved operating results at the
project mines. The increase in tonnage volume and operating costs from other
mining operations resulted from the Florida dragline operation's full year of
production in 1996 versus two months in 1995. Reduced activity at former coal
properties caused a decrease in royalties and other income, net.

Matters affecting year-to-year comparability include the receipt in 1996 of the
final escrow payment from the sale of a previously owned eastern U.S.
underground mining property and the discontinuation of an annual management fee,
which was accelerated and finalized in 1995, under a contract mining agreement
between NACoal and a public utility company.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES: The components of other income (expense)
and the effective tax rate are as follows for the year ended December 31:



1997 1996 1995
-------------- -------------- --------------

Interest expense
Project mines $ (12.7) $ (13.6) $ (14.0)

-------------- -------------- --------------
$ (2.0) $ 2.6 $ 2.9
============== ============== ==============

Effective tax rate 29.9% 34.0% 32.4%


In 1997, other-net from other mining operations includes the write-off of
certain non-productive assets, while 1996 includes $4.2 million from the receipt
of the final escrow payment from the 1988 sale of a previously owned eastern
underground mining property. The reduction in the 1997 effective tax rate
results from the resolution of certain tax issues provided for in previous
years. The increase in the 1996 effective tax rate, as compared with 1995, is
due to the receipt of a non-recurring tax refund in 1995.

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 2002 during 1997, may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
NACoal and the bank group. NACoal had $36.0 million of its revolving credit
facility available at December 31, 1997. The outstanding balance is attributable
to funds loaned to NACCO to partially finance NACCO's Class A common stock
repurchase program.

The financing of the project mining subsidiaries, which is either provided or
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 NACoal and are without recourse to NACCO or NACoal. These
arrangements allow the project mining subsidiaries to pay dividends to NACCO in
amounts equal to their retained earnings. NACoal believes it can meet all of its
current and long-term commitments and operating needs from operating cash flows,
funds available under its revolving credit agreement and financing provided by
the project mining subsidiaries' customers.

Planned expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 1998 are anticipated
to be approximately $28.9 million, of which $21.3 million relates to the
development, establishment and improvement of the project mining subsidiaries'
mines and are financed or guaranteed by the utility customers. The 1998 planned
expenditures compare with capital expenditures of $24.8 million incurred in 1997
and $19.5 million incurred in 1996. Increasing expenditures in 1997 and 1998
primarily relate to costs incurred to build infrastructure and to replace aging
assets.

The increase in other net tangible assets is primarily due to capital
expenditures incurred to develop the Red River mine and the San Miguel lignite
mining operation. The reduction in advances to parent company and debt related
to parent advances resulted from payments received from the parent company.

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:




1997 1996 1995
--------------- -------------- --------------

Number of stores 143 144 134

Revenues $ 79.0 $ 74.9 $ 69.6

Operating profit $ 2.8 $ 3.1 $ 3.3

Net income $ 1.3 $ 1.5 $ 1.6


1997 COMPARED WITH 1996

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in revenues,
operating profit and net income for 1997 compared with 1996:



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

1996 $ 74.9 $ 3.1 $ 1.5

Increase (decrease) in 1997 from:

Stores opened in 1996 .2 (.5) (.3)
Comparable stores 2.2 .8 .5
Other -- (.8) (.5)
-------------- -------------- --------------

1997 $ 79.0 $ 2.8 $ 1.3
============== ============== ==============


At December 31, 1997, KCI operated 143 stores compared with 144 stores at
December 31, 1996. Revenue increased from 1996 due to an increase in the average
sales transaction, partially offset by a decrease in the number of customer
transactions. The increase in the average sales transaction can be attributed to
a management incentive program, an increase in the retail prices of select
products and improved sales within KCI's gadget category. The continuing
difficult factory outlet retail environment led to lower levels of customer
traffic within factory outlet malls resulting in a decrease in the number of
customer sales. In addition, KCI incurred store closing costs in 1997, including
costs to complete the closure or conversion of all Hearthstone(TM) stores,
combined with increased employee costs which contributed to the decline in
operating profit and net income.

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

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 primarily to higher payroll and store rent
costs.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES: Interest expense was $0.4 million, $0.5
million and $0.5 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. KCI's effective
tax rate was 43.5 percent, 42.7 percent and 41.9 percent in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

KCI's credit agreement provides for a $5.0 million revolving credit facility.
This facility has performance-based pricing which provides for reduced interest
rates based on the achievement of certain financial performance measures. The
expiration date of KCI's revolving credit facility is May 2000 and may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
KCI and the bank. At December 31, 1997, KCI had $4.9 million of its facility
available. KCI believes it can meet all of its current and long-term commitments
and operating needs from operating cash flows and funds available under its
revolving credit agreement.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $0.6 million in 1997, $1.1
million in 1996 and are anticipated to be approximately $0.9 million in 1998.
These expenditures are primarily for fixtures and equipment for new and existing
stores, 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. Although Bellaire's
operations are immaterial, it has significant long-term liabilities related to
closed mines, 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 $3.6 million during 1997,
$5.1 million during 1996 and are anticipated to be $4.2 million in 1998.

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



1997 1996 1995
--------------- --------------- ---------------

Revenues $ .2 $ .3 $ .5
Operating loss $ (8.5) $ (9.0) $ (8.8)
Other income (expense), net $ (.4) $ .2 $ .9
Loss before extraordinary items $ (5.5) $ (5.8) $ (4.1)
Extraordinary gain, net-of-tax -- -- 32.3
--------------- --------------- ---------------
Net income (loss) $ (5.5) $ (5.8) $ 28.2
=============== =============== ===============



The extraordinary gain in 1995 of $32.3 million, net of $19.8 million in taxes,
relates to a downward revision in the UMWA obligation. 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. The accrual was revised in 1995 due to a change in the assumptions used to
estimate the liability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

The borrowing agreements at HB*PS and KCI allow for the payment of dividends to
NACCO under certain circumstances. There are no restrictions on the transfer of
assets from NACoal. NMHG's borrowing agreement prior to the fourth quarter of
1997 restricted dividends or advances paid to its stockholders to an aggregate
of $25.0 million, but provided for the release of this restriction, as well as
other covenant restrictions, if NMHG achieved specified performance measures. In
the fourth quarter of 1997, NMHG was permanently released from the covenant
restrictions specified in the NMHG revolving credit agreement as a result of
satisfying the necessary performance criteria during 1997. Therefore, at
December 31, 1997, dividends or advances from NMHG to its stockholders were not
restricted. Dividends and advances from subsidiaries are the primary sources 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, anticipated funds generated from operations and the
utility customers' funding of the project mining subsidiaries.

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 six years, with the counterparty's option to extend certain
contracts to eight 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 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 in 1997 and 1996.

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 companies 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. See Note 2 and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional discussion.

The Company believes that inflation has not materially affected its results of
operations in 1997 and does not expect inflation to be a significant item in
1998.

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 the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

YEAR 2000

The Company has developed an action plan and identified the resources needed to
convert the majority of its computer systems and software applications to
achieve a year 2000 date conversion with no effect on customers or disruption to
business operations. Implementation of the plan has begun, and the Company
anticipates completion of testing of mission critical systems by the end of
1998. The Company estimates that the cost to complete these efforts, which
primarily includes the purchase of software upgrades under normal maintenance
agreements with third party vendors, will not be material and will be expended
primarily in 1998. The Company is currently evaluating its computer-controlled
machinery and equipment for year 2000 compliance. Although the Company does not
anticipate the cost to convert, or failure to convert, this machinery and
equipment to be material to the Company's operating results, the ultimate impact
is unknown at this time.

In addition, the Company has discussed with its vendors and customers the need
to be year 2000 compliant. Although the Company has no reason to believe that
its vendors and customers will not be compliant by the year 2000, the Company is
unable to determine the extent to which year 2000 issues will effect its vendors
and customers. The Company continues to discuss with its vendors and customers
the need for implementing procedures to address this issue.

OUTLOOK

NMHG: In 1998, NMHG does not expect the record levels of factory bookings
experienced in the North American market in 1997 to continue. However, given
NMHG's worldwide backlog of 22,100 units at the end of the fourth quarter of
1997, compared with 11,700 units at the end of the fourth quarter of 1996,
forklift truck shipments are expected to remain strong in the first quarter of
1998. NMHG's continuing focus on improving margins and reducing costs is
expected to have a positive impact on 1998 results. The continued strength of
the British pound sterling may offset favorable impacts from stronger consumer
demand anticipated in Europe. Declines in operating results are anticipated in
Asia-Pacific due to the weakening of currencies and economic uncertainty in that
region. Asia-Pacific's revenue and operating loss were 5.0 percent and 6.2
percent, respectively, of NMHG's consolidated revenue and operating profit in
1997.

NACCO AND OTHER--Continued

OUTLOOK - Continued

HB*PS: HB*PS expects 1998 to remain highly competitive, with overall industry
growth projected to be less than 1 percent. However, planned product line
extensions with the Hamilton Beach(R) brand name should provide HB*PS with the
opportunity to continue its market share growth. Growth is also anticipated from
international opportunities. In 1998, the new Saltillo facility is expected to
continue to increase productive capacity. HB*PS plans to add additional
manufacturing activities to this facility, which currently manufactures selected
lines of blenders, toasters and food processors. Cost savings from Saltillo may
be offset in 1998 by additional start-up costs and transition costs at other
manufacturing facilities.

NACOAL: NACoal anticipates an increase in the number of tons delivered in 1998
as a result of a full year of operations at the San Miguel lignite mining
operation. NACoal's other lignite mines and the Florida dragline operations are
expected to produce about the same number of total tons and cubic yards,
respectively, in 1998 as in 1997, as customer requirements appear level with the
previous year. Sales contracts with customers at Coteau, Falkirk, Sabine, Red
River and San Miguel extend to 2037, 2020, 2020, 2010 and 2007, respectively. In
addition, NACoal anticipates a reduction in 1998 royalty income.

NACoal is involved in ongoing initiatives to obtain additional mining contracts.
However, the successful achievement of these contracts is uncertain at this
time. NACoal anticipates that 1998 operating results will reflect an increase in
costs resulting from the pursuit of these contracts.

KCI: Sales growth in 1998 may be absorbed by other expenses, due to the
difficult retail factory outlet environment and normal inflationary increases in
fixed costs. However, to improve profitability in the competitive retail
environment, KCI will continue to implement marketing programs designed to
increase the average amount and number of sales transactions. Where necessary,
KCI will relocate or close nonproductive stores.
