ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

         On November 14, 1997, EVI, Inc. (the "Company") announced the
commencement of a cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Tender
Offer") relating to all of the Company's outstanding 10 1/4% Senior Notes due
2004 and 10 1/4% Senior Notes due 2004, Series B (collectively, the "Notes").
The tender consideration to be paid for each properly tendered Note and
properly delivered consent will equal (i) the present value on the proposed
payment date of $1,038.44 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the amount
payable on March 15, 1999, which is the first date on which the Notes are
redeemable at the option of the Company) and all future semi-annual interest
payments to March 15, 1999, determined on the basis of the yield on the 5 7/8%
U.S. Treasury Notes due February 28, 1999, plus 25 basis points, minus (ii)
$25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which is the payment for
consents to the proposed amendments), plus (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on
the Notes to, but not including, the payment date.  The Tender Offer expires at
12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, December 12, 1997, unless
extended.

         In conjunction with the Tender Offer, the Company is soliciting
consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture relating to the Notes
(the "Indenture").  Such amendments would amend or eliminate certain of the
principal restrictive covenants contained in the Indenture and would release all
subsidiary guarantors under the Indenture.  Each holder of an outstanding Note
who validly consents to the proposed amendments to the Indenture on or prior to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, December 1, 1997, will be paid $25.00
in cash for each $1,000 in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.  Holders
who tender their Notes after the consent date will not be entitled to receive
the $25.00 consent payment.  The Company's acceptance for payment of the Notes
under the Tender Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including the
execution of a supplemental indenture following the valid tender of and consent
from the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes.

         A copy of the press release announcing the commencement of the Tender
Offer is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The following tables set forth certain summary pro forma condensed
consolidated financial data of the Company.  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed

Company of Tubular Corporation of America ("TCA") on August 5, 1996, (ii) the
acquisition by the Company of GulfMark International, Inc. ("GulfMark") and its
assets as of the date of acquisition on May 1, 1997 (the "GulfMark Retained
Assets"), (iii) the issuance and sale of the Company's 5% Convertible
Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures due 2027 (the "Debentures") and
(iv) the acquisition of $120 million principal amount of the Notes pursuant to
the Tender Offer as if these transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996.  The
unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the
issuance and sale of the Debentures and the acquisition of all of the Notes
pursuant to the Tender Offer as if these transactions had occurred on September
30, 1997.  The following summary pro forma condensed consolidated financial data
and related notes thereto have been restated to reflect the Company's May 1997
two-for-one stock split.  The pro forma information set forth below is not

Monarch (Lloydminster) Ltd. ("BMW Monarch") and BMW Pump, Inc. ("BMW Pump") or
various smaller acquisitions effected by the Company during 1997.  This

                         NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                      CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


GENERAL

        The following notes set forth the assumptions used in preparing the
unaudited pro forma financial statements. The pro forma adjustments are based
on estimates made by the Company's management using information currently
available.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

        The adjustments to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
        consolidated balance sheet are described below:

                (a) To reflect the sale of the $402.5 million principal amount
                    of the Debentures and the payment of approximately $11.9
                    million of related debt issuance costs. Does not reflect 
                    the use of approximately $200 million of the net proceeds 
                    from this offering to fund the proposed acquisitions of 
                    Trico, BMW Pump and BMW Monarch.

                (b) To reflect the purchase of the $120 million principal
                    amount of the Notes at a cost of approximately 
                    $132.5 million. 

                (c) To capitalize approximately $11.9 million of debt issuance
                    costs related to the Debentures.

                (d) To reflect the write-off of approximately $3.5 million of   
                    debt issuance costs related to the initial issuance of the
                    Notes.

                (e) To reflect the payment of approximately $0.5 million of
                    accrued interest related to the Notes and the tax benefit
                    of approximately $5.6 million related to the extraordinary
                    charge related to the purchase of the Notes pursuant to the
                    Tender Offer.

                (f) To reflect the purchase of the $120 million principal of
                    the Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer.

                (g) To reflect the extraordinary charge of approximately $9.8
                    million, net of taxes, for the purchase of the Notes
                    pursuant to the Tender Offer.

        The adjustments to the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
        consolidated statements of income are described below:

                (h) Reflects the results of TCA, which was acquired on August 5,
                    1996, from January 1, 1996, through June 30, 1996. Actual
                    results of TCA are included in the Company's historical
                    results from August 5, 1996.

                (i) Reflects an increase in depreciation expense associated 
                    with the assets of TCA, which was acquired on August 5, 
                    1996 as a result of the $11.6 million fair value increase
                    of property, plant, and equipment through the purchase
                    price allocation. Such increase in property, plant, and 
                    equipment is being depreciated over an average life of ten
                    years.

                (j) To record amortization expense relating to the estimated
                    $15.8 million in excess of cost over fair value of tangible 
                    assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of TCA.
                    Such excess of cost over fair value of net tangible assets
                    acquired is being amortized over 40 years.

<PAGE>   8
                (k) To reduce TCA's interest expense to reflect the Company's
                    retirement of TCA's $7.7 million debt outstanding at the
                    date of acquisition.

                (l) To adjust interest expense for the Debentures at the rate
                    of 5% per annum and to record amortization expense of 
                    related debt issuance costs over the life of the Debentures.

                (m) To reduce the related interest expense and amortization of
                    debt issuance costs to reflect the purchase of the Notes
                    pursuant to the Tender Offer.

                (n) To eliminate certain expenses incurred by TCA relating to
                    the Company's acquisitions of TCA. These expenses relate
                    to amounts paid to an investment banking firm which
                    represented TCA in the Company's acquisition of TCA.

                (o) To eliminate the $6,264,000 gain recorded in the GulfMark
                    Retained Assets with respect to the sale by GulfMark of 
                    600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock in July 1996.
                    The net proceeds from this sale were not received by the
                    Company nor included in the GulfMark Retained Assets at the
                    time of the acquisition of GulfMark by the Company.
