have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly

(2) Earnings Per Common Share
-------------------------
During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS
128)--Earnings per Share. Earnings per common share and weighted
average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 have been restated to reflect the effect of a three-for-two stock
split in 1997 and the effect of adopting the provisions of this
accounting standard. Basic earnings per common share for the periods in
1998 is based on the average number of common shares outstanding
(11,923,000 and 11,924,000 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, respectively). Diluted earnings per common share for the same
periods is based on the average number of common shares outstanding, as
noted above, increased by the dilutive effect of outstanding stock
options (176,000 and 181,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 1998, respectively). Basic earnings per common share for the
periods in 1997 is based on the average number of common shares
outstanding (12,120,000 and 12,202,000 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, respectively). Diluted earnings per common share
for the same periods in 1997 is based on the average number of common
shares outstanding, as noted previously, increased by the dilutive
effect of outstanding options (246,000 and 238,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively).
<PAGE>
(3) Acquisitions
------------
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company acquired
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Great Bend Manufacturing Company (Great Bend) located in Great Bend,
Kansas. Great Bend manufactures and sells tractor-mounted front-end
loaders which are used principally in agricultural applications. The
Company also acquired in the second quarter of 1998 substantially all
of the assets of Universal Turf Equipment Corporation (Universal Turf)
located in Opp, Alabama. Universal Turf manufactures and sells turf
maintenance implements including reel mowers, verti-cut mowers, reel
grinders and spraying equipment. The impact of these acquisitions on
the consolidated operating results of the Company in the second quarter
and first half of 1998 is not considered significant.
(4) Dispositions/Sales of Assets
----------------------------
"Other (income) expense, net" for the six months ended June
30, 1998 includes gains of approximately $1,972,000 ($1,957,000 in the
second quarter)primarily related to the sale of the Coldwater, Ohio
facility noted below.
(5) Contingent Liabilities
----------------------
The Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings as a
defending party, including product liability and environmental matters
for which additional liability is reasonably possible. However, after
consideration of relevant data (consultation with legal counsel and
review of insurance coverage, accruals, etc.), management believes that
the eventual outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or its ongoing results of
operations.
Reference is made to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K
as it relates to a note receivable taken in connection with the sale of
the business and assets of the former Littell division. Collections
from this note in the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $390,000
($195,000 in the second quarter) and were included in "Other (income)
expense."
Reference is made to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K
as it relates to the sale by the Company of a site in Coldwater, Ohio
that was contingent on the issuance by the State of Ohio, Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency, of a covenant not to sue. On March 31,
1998, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued the covenant not
to sue. The Company closed on the sale of this facility for cash of
$3,156,000 on May 13, 1998.
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1998, the Company was contingently liable for
approximately $1,048,000 primarily relating to outstanding letters of
credit.
(6) Income Taxes
------------
The provision for income taxes in the first half of 1998 and
1997 is based upon the Federal statutory rates adjusted for items that
are not subject to taxes. See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a
further discussion related to income taxes.
(7) Summary of Other (Income) Expense

(8) Financial Arrangements
----------------------
On June 30, 1998 the Company entered into an amendment to the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The amendment provides for up to
$145,000,000 (from $125,000,000) of borrowings and/or letters of credit
at either a floating prime or fixed LIBOR (with the rate dependent in
the ratio of Funded Debt to Operating Cash Flow) rate. The funds may be
used for future working capital needs of the Company, fixed asset
additions and possible acquisitions.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OPERATING RESULTS
- - -----------------
During the second quarter of 1998, the Company acquired substantially
all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Great Bend Manufacturing
Company (Great Bend) located in Great Bend, Kansas. Great Bend manufactures and
sells tractor-mounted front-end loaders which are used principally in
agricultural applications. The Company also acquired in the second quarter of
1998 substantially all of the assets of Universal Turf Equipment Corporation
(Universal Turf) located in Opp, Alabama. Universal Turf manufactures and sells
turf maintenance implements including reel mowers, verti-cut mowers, reel
grinders and spraying equipment. The impact of these acquisitions on the
consolidated operating results of the Company in the second quarter and first
half of 1998 is not considered significant.
During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company sold for cash
substantially all of the assets of its Coz division. The purchaser also assumed
certain specified liabilities associated with this division.
First Half of 1998 Compared to First Half of 1997
- - -------------------------------------------------
Net sales in the first half of 1998 were $151,816,000 compared to net
sales of $149,783,000 reported in the first half of 1997. Increased sales at the
Bush Hog division more than offset the loss of revenues associated with the
Company's former Coz division, which was sold in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Income before taxes in the first half of the current year was $19,731,000
compared to income before taxes of $17,773,000 reported in the first half of the
prior year. Income before taxes in the first half of 1998 included gains of
approximately $1,972,000 primarily related to the sale of the Coldwater, Ohio
facility - see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income was $12,875,000 ($1.08 per common share-basic) in the
first half of 1998 compared to net income of $11,377,000 ($.93 per common
share-basic) in the first half of 1997. "Earnings per common share" and
"Weighted average shares outstanding" have been restated for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997 to reflect the effect of a three-for-two stock split
in 1997 and the effect of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128-Earnings per Share.
At the Bush Hog and Great Bend divisions, net sales increased 18% in
the first half of 1998 compared to the first half of 1997. The majority of the
increase was associated with the cutter products line at the Bush Hog division.
Cutter sales have benefitted from the end of the cattle herd liquidation cycle
in the spring of 1997. Cattle ranchers use the cutters for grazing pasture
maintenance. Cutter sales in 1998 were also favorably affected by new/redesigned
products for the turf and landscaping market for utilization by commercial turf
(sod) growers and for golf course maintenance. Loader sales have also increased
in the current year, with the majority of the increase
<PAGE>
in this product line related to the acquisition of the Great Bend division, as
noted above. Sales of the Great Bend division represent approximately 25% of the
overall increase in agricultural product sales in the first half of 1998
compared to the first half of 1997. Gross profits and gross profit margins
increased in the first half of the current year due to the effects of
favorable manufacturing variances which resulted from increased facility
utilization (production) including longer production lot sizes and increased
labor efficiencies. The impact of increased sales volume also resulted in
increased gross profits in 1998.
Severe weather conditions in the southwestern United States as well as
some local flooding in the central part of the country are anticipated to result
in lower than expected sales for the Company's agricultural products in the
third quarter. Some cattle herd liquidation has taken place in the southwest as
a result of drought conditions. Commodity prices have also decreased in the
first half of 1998. As a result, the Bush Hog division expects to scale back
production schedules in the third quarter of 1998 to adjust to market
conditions.
Net sales at the Verson division increased by 8% in the first half of
1998 compared to the first half of 1997. Revenue and profits are recognized on a
percentage of completion basis for press production at this division. The
increase in net sales was primarily related to increased press orders received
during the second quarter of 1998 including the recently announced major orders
for presses of approximately $80,000,000. Gross profits and gross profit margins
decreased at the Verson division in the first half of 1998 compared to the same
six month period of 1997. Margins have been negatively impacted by manufacturing
constraints associated with insufficient manufacturing causing the division to
outsource an increased level of production, resulting in increased costs. The
mix of production has also resulted in inefficiencies. Production in the first
half of 1998 included newly designed presses for each of the major U.S. auto
manufacturers. Some of the engineering requirements related to these and other
orders have also been subcontracted out. These manufacturing problems have led
to the delayed shipment of certain presses. Warranty costs have also increased
in 1998 due to the increased sales volume and mix of products manufactured.
These increased costs were partially offset by the settlement of a claim against
a third party, which negatively impacted periods prior to 1997.
Selling and administrative expenses increased in the first half of 1998
to $17,530,000 from $17,268,000 in the first half of 1997. As a percent of net
sales, these costs remained constant. Selling expense increases were primarily
related to increased commissions at the Bush Hog division (associated with
increased sales), costs related to the establishment of an international sales
and marketing department at the Verson division (primarily salaries and travel
costs) and the acquisition of the Great Bend division as noted above. These
increases were partially offset by decreased costs associated with the sale of
the Coz division in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Administrative costs have decreased in the first half of 1998. Cost increases
related to staff expansion and legal fees associated with the settlement of a
claim at the Verson division and the acquisition of

the Great Bend division were offset by the impact of certain Corporate Office
retirements in late 1997 and the sale of the Coz division.
Interest expense in the first half of 1998 was $2,537,000 compared to
interest expense of $1,652,000 reported in the first half of the prior year.
Increased borrowing needs were related to higher consolidated receivable levels
(primarily associated with Bush Hog's increased sales volume) and increased
inventory levels (primarily associated with the Verson division where shipment
delays have occurred). Other borrowing needs included fixed asset additions over
the past twelve months, including the Verson plant expansion, the impact of
decreased customer deposits and progress payments against press orders at the
Verson division, and the acquisitions of Great Bend and Universal Turf in the
second quarter of 1998. Interest expense in the first half of 1998 was partially
offset by the interest cost capitalized relating to the Company's building
expansion project at the Verson division.

Financial Statements for an analysis of Other (income) expense in the first half
of 1998 and 1997.
Second Quarter of 1998 Compared to Second Quarter of 1997
- - ---------------------------------------------------------
Net sales in the second quarter of 1998 were $88,985,000 compared to
net sales of $76,902,000 reported in the second quarter of 1997. Income before
taxes in the second quarter of the current year was $10,507,000 compared to
income before taxes of $9,734,000 reported in the second quarter of the prior
year. Income before taxes in the second quarter of 1998 included gains of
approximately $1,957,000 primarily related to the sale of the Coldwater, Ohio
facility - see Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income was $7,010,000 ($.59 per common share-basic) in the second
quarter of 1998 compared to net income of $6,206,000 ($.51 per common
share-basic) in the second quarter of 1997. Reference is made to the restatement
of "Earnings per common share" and "Weighted average share outstanding" noted
above.
At the Bush Hog and Great Bend divisions, net sales increased 27% in
the second quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter of the prior year, with
approximately one-third of this increase related to the acquisition of Great
Bend. The majority of the increase was related to Bush Hog's cutter product
lines. Loader sales also increased during the period at the Bush Hog division.
Sales during the period benefitted from the effects of favorable spring planting
conditions. Gross profits improved at the Bush Hog division in the second
quarter of 1998 primarily due to increased sales volume noted above. Gross
profit margins also improved compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
Favorable manufacturing variances resulted from increased production lot sizes
and increased labor efficiencies.
At the Verson division, sales increased 28% in the second quarter of
1998 compared to thesecond quarter of the prior year. The entire increase was
related to increased press production. As
<PAGE>
noted above, major press orders were received during the second quarter of 1998.
Production has begun on these orders in order to meet delivery date deadlines.
Gross profits and gross profit margins have decreased at the Verson division in
the second quarter of the current year compared to the same quarter of 1997.
Margins have been pressured by the impact of increased outsourcing of production
and engineering services, increased warranty provisions and lack of adequate
manufacturing capacity. The division is in the process of expanding its assembly
area and construction will be completed in the last quarter of this year. Some
press shipments have been delayed due to production problems. While no
significant penalties have been incurred with these late shipments, the excess
number of presses in the assembly and other manufacturing areas have led to
manufacturing inefficiencies.
Selling and administrative expenses have increased slightly in the
second quarter of 1998 to $8,859,000 from $8,775,000 reported in the second
quarter of 1997. As a percent of net sales, these costs have decreased to 10.0%
in the second quarter of this year compared to 11.4% of net sales in the second
quarter of the prior year. Increases in selling expenses at the Bush Hog
division were primarily related to commissions associated with the increased
sales volume. At the Verson division, increases were related to costs associated
with the establishment of an international sales and marketing department. Great
Bend (acquired in the second quarter of 1998) selling expenses also added to the
consolidated increase in these costs. Administrative expenses decreased in the
second quarter of 1998. The impact of Corporate Office retirements in the last
half of 1997 was the main cause of this decrease.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 1998 was $1,447,000 compared
to interest expense of $958,000 reported in the second quarter of 1997.
Increased borrowing needs were related to increased receivable levels of the
Bush Hog division, increased inventory levels at the Verson division, fixed
asset additions at both the Bush Hog and Verson divisions and the acquisitions
of Great Bend and Universal Turf. Interest expense was partially offset by the
interest cost capitalized relating to the Company's building expansion project
at the Verson division.
Reference is made to Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for an analysis of Other (income) expense in the second
quarter of 1998 and 1997.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
- - ---------------------------------
Working capital at June 30, 1998 was $41,981,000 (current ratio of 1.25
to 1.0) compared to working capital of $51,492,000 (current ratio of 1.54 to
1.0) at December 31, 1997. Net receivables increased by $12,995,000 since the
end of 1997. The majority of the increase was associated with the Bush Hog
division where cash collections are dependent upon the retail sale of the
product by the dealer. Sales, which are typically strong in the first quarter of
the year or just prior to the use season by the farmer, continued to be strong
in the second quarter of 1998. Extended
<PAGE>
payment terms are offered to dealers in the form of floor plan financing which
is customary in the industry. Receivables also increased with the acquisition of
the Great Bend division. On a consolidated basis, inventory levels have
increased $51,330,000 since the end of 1997. The majority of the increase was
related to the Verson division and was the direct result of the number and
extent of jobs in process, the impact of decreased customer deposits and
progress payments against press orders and the effects of delivery date
extensions. Inventory levels have also increased at the Bush Hog division where
record first half sales have occurred in 1998. The acquisition of Great Bend
also resulted in increased consolidated inventories.
Fixed asset additions in the first half of 1998 (excluding
acquisitions) totaled $22,060,000. The majority of these additions were
represented by construction costs associated with a $28,000,000 expansion
project at the Verson division. This project will more than double the size of
Verson's assembly facility and increase the division's capacity by approximately
35%. This, combined with the division's focused factory concept and the overall
strengthening of its infrastructure, should help alleviate capacity constraints
at this operation. Expenditures for production machinery and equipment at all
manufacturing divisions were also made in the first half of 1998. It is
anticipated that the equipment will result in reduced manufacturing costs and
improvements in product quality.
Net borrowings under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement increased by $58,800,000 since the end of 1997. These borrowings were
used to finance working capital needs and fixed asset additions noted above.
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash balances of $489,000 and
additional funds of $33,963,000 available under its Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. Significant capital will be required to complete the expansion
project at the Verson division as noted above. At the end of the second quarter
of 1998, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement. The amendment provides for up to $145,000,000 (from
$125,000,000) of borrowings and/or letters of credit at either a floating prime
or fixed LIBOR (with the rate dependent on the ratio of Funded Debt to Operating
Cash Flow) rate. These funds may be used for future working capital needs of the
Company, fixed asset additions and acquisitions. The Company believes the cash
flow from operations and funds available under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement are adequate to finance its operations and capital expenditures in the
near future. During the first half of 1998, the Company has been in compliance
with all provisions of loan agreements in effect.
IMPACT FROM NOT YET EFFECTIVE RULES
- - -----------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information. This statement establishes standards for the way that public
business enterprises report information about operating segments
<PAGE>
in interim financial reports issued to shareholders subsequent to initial annual
financial statements disclosure. It also establishes standards for related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
This statement is effective on an annual basis for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Interim reporting requirements begin
in 1999. Comparative information for earlier years is also to be presented.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 -Employers' Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This statement revises
employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It
does not change the measurement or recognition of these plans. It standardizes
the disclosure requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit
obligations and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial
analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer as useful as
they were when other related SFAS were issued. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact of these statements on its financial reporting.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. The Company at this time does not
participate in any transactions covered under the provisions of SFAS No. 133,
which would be effective July 1, 1999.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
- - ---------------------
Statements contained within the Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations that relate to future operating
periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ from management's projections. Operations of the Company include the
manufacturing and sale of agricultural and industrial machinery. In relation to
the Bush Hog and Great Bend divisions, forward-looking statements involve
certain factors that are subject to change. These elements encompass
interrelated factors that affect farmers and cattle ranchers' confidence,
including demand for agricultural products, grain stock levels, commodity
prices, weather conditions, crop and animal diseases, crop yields, farm land
values and government farm programs. Other factors affecting all operations of
the Company include actions of competitors in the industries served by the
Company, production difficulties including capacity and supply constraints,
labor relations, interest rates and other risks and uncertainties. The Company's
outlook is based upon assumptions relating to the factors discussed above.

at the payee's option, on the schedule attached hereto and any
continuation thereof).
The undersigned further promises to pay interest on the unpaid
