	JLG INDUSTRIES, INC. 
	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
	April 30, 1995
	(unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore, do 
not include all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of 
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.  However, such financial statements 
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which 
management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the 
results of operations.

Interim results for the nine months ended April 30, 1995 are not necessarily an
indication of the results for the fiscal year as a whole.  For further 
information, refer to consolidated financial statements and notes included in 
the Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994.


NOTE B - INVENTORIES AND COST OF SALES

A precise inventory valuation under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method can 
only be made at the end of each fiscal year; therefore, interim LIFO inventory 
valuation determinations, including the determination at April 30, 1995, must 
necessarily be based on management's estimate of expected fiscal year-end 
inventory levels and costs.


NOTE C - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to personal injury and property damage litigation 
arising out of incidents involving the use of its products.  The Company's 
insurance program for fiscal year July 31, 1995 is comprised of a self-
insurance retention of $5 million and catastrophic coverage of $20 million in 
excess of the retention.  The Company contracts with an independent insurance 
carrier to provide claims handling and adjustment services.  The Company's 
estimates with respect to claims are based on internal evaluations of the 
merits of individual claims and the reserves assigned by the Company's 
independent insurance carrier. The methods of making such estimates and 
establishing the resulting accrued liability are reviewed continually and any 
adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current earnings. Claims are 
paid over varying periods, which generally do not exceed five years.  Accruals 
are not discounted.

With respect to all claims of which the Company is aware as of the reporting 
date, the Company has accrued $8.1 million and $8.0 million at April 30, 1995 
and July 31, 1994, respectively.  While the Company's ultimate liability may 
exceed or be less than the amounts accrued, the Company believes that it is 
unlikely that it would experience a loss that would be material and beyond
such reserve amounts. As of April 30, 1995 and July 31, 1994, there are no 
insurance recoverables or offset implications and there were no claims being 
contested by insurers.




                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information given below is intended to assist in understanding the 
Company's financial condition and results of operations as reflected in the 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (pages 3 through 7).

The Company is a leading manufacturer and marketer of elevating work platforms 
and truck-mounted materials handling equipment used primarily in construction 
and industrial applications.  Sales are made principally to independent 
equipment distributors that lease the Company's products and provide service 
support to equipment users.  Equipment purchases by end users, either directly 
from the Company or through distributors, comprise a significant, but smaller, 
portion of sales.

Demand for the Company's products tends to be cyclical, responding historically
to varying levels of construction and industrial activity, principally in the 
United States and, to a lesser extent, in other industrialized nations.  During
recessionary conditions, demand for equipment held for rental typically 
declines more sharply than demand for equipment purchased by end users.  Other 
factors affecting demand include the availability and cost of financing for 
equipment purchases and the market availability of used equipment.

Due to the cyclical demand, the Company's financial performance and cash flows 
tend to fluctuate.  However, the Company continually strives to reduce 
manufacturing costs and increase manufacturing efficiencies.  The Company also 
considers development and introduction of new and improved products to be an 
important factor in maintaining and strengthening its market position.

RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTERS OF FISCAL 1995 AND 1994

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $75.8 million, an increase 
of $25.7 million, or 51% from the previous year.  The growth in revenues was 
due to increased demand across virtually all product classes.  In addition, 
continued strong North American demand for the Company's products combined with
improvement in the European market generated record sales.  Higher sales volume
was the primary reason for the significant improvement in profit.
  
Gross profit, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 24% in the third quarter 
of fiscal 1995 from 25% the previous year. The lower gross profit percent in 
the current year quarter is due principally to proportionately higher sales of 
lower margin products, higher material costs and the cost of subcontracting 
additional work to outside vendors as a result of the substantial increase in 
demand. Partially offsetting these reductions were lower manufacturing costs 
due to continued improvements in manufacturing processes, lower product 
liability and warranty costs and higher selling prices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 
1995 increased 22%, or $1.6 million, compared to the same period of fiscal 
1994, but decreased as a percent of sales to 12% from 14%.  The increase in 
spending is primarily volume-related including higher payroll and related costs
and increased research and development expenses.  Partially offsetting the 
increase were lower European administrative and selling costs due to the 
closing of a sales office during the prior year period.

The effective tax rate was 36% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 and 34% for
the same period of fiscal 1994. The tax rate for the fiscal 1995 period 
includes the benefit for a revision in the estimate of future taxes payable, 
while the fiscal 1994 quarter reflects the benefit of closing an overseas 
facility.


RESULTS FOR THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL 1995 AND 1994

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were $181.7 million, an 
increase of $60.6 million, or 50% from the previous year. As noted in the third
quarter comparison, continued strong North American demand for virtually all 
the Company's product lines combined with improvement in the European market 
provided for the increase. In addition, products introduced over the past two 
years contributed over 20% to sales for the current nine month period. 

Gross profit, as a percent of net sales, increased to 25% in the first nine 
months of fiscal 1995 from 24% the previous year. The increase is attributable 
to lower manufacturing costs due to continued improvements in manufacturing 
processes, lower product liability and warranty costs and higher selling 
prices.  Partially offsetting these improvements were increased material costs 
and costs associated with subcontracting additional work to outside vendors as 
a result of the substantial increase in demand.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1995 increased 18% or $3.6 million compared to the same period of fiscal
1994, but decreased as a percent of sales to 13% from 16%. The dollar change 
over the same period of the prior year was due to the factors discussed in the 
third quarter comparison with the addition of increased consulting costs.  The 
prior year period also had higher legal costs associated with the settlement of
litigation with the Company's then principal shareholder.

The effective tax rate was 35% in the first nine months of both fiscal 1995 and
1994.  As discussed in the third quarter comparison, the tax rate for the 
fiscal 1995 period includes the benefit for a revision in the estimate of 
future taxes payable, while fiscal 1994 reflects the benefit of closing an 
overseas facility.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Current assets as a percent of current liabilities were 204% at April 30, 1995,
compared to 208% at July 31, 1994.  Working capital was $41.2 million at April 
30, 1995, compared to $32.4 million at July 31, 1994.  The increased working 
capital at April 30, 1995, was primarily due to higher inventory and accounts 
receivable levels to support the increased growth in sales.

Total debt as a percent of total capitalization at April 30, 1995 decreased to 
4% from 14% at July 31, 1994 due to the repayment of debt with cash generated 
from operations.

At April 30, 1995, the Company had unused credit lines totaling $10 million and
cash balances of $8.2 million.  The Company considers these resources, coupled 
with cash expected to be generated by operations, adequate to meet its 
foreseeable liquidity needs.  In addition, the Company has reached an agreement
in principle to acquire an additional manufacturing facility in Bedford, 
Pennsylvania to replace the existing facility there.  Acquisition, relocation 
and refitting costs are estimated to be $9 million payable over the next twelve
months.  The Company is seeking third party financing for this project.

The Company's exposure to product liability claims is discussed in NOTE C - 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. Future results of operations, financial 
condition and liquidity may be affected to the extent that the Company's 
ultimate liability with respect to product liability varies from current 
estimates.



Ernst & Young LLP
Independent Auditors' Review Report



The Board of Directors
JLG Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of JLG 
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1995, and the related 
condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month 
periods ended April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the condensed consolidated 
statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended April 30, 1995 and 
1994.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim 
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and 
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted 
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be 
performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion 
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not 
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that 
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of JLG Industries, Inc. as of July 
31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' 
equity and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our
report dated September 8, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those 
consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth 
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 1994, 
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated 
balance sheet from which it has been derived.
