                 results of operations for the three and six months ended
                 June 30, 1996 and 1995.  

        Note 2 - In late May 1995, the company acquired Clark Equipment
                 Company (Clark).  Clark's business is the design,
                 manufacture and sale of compact construction machinery,
                 asphalt paving equipment, axles and transmissions for off-
                 highway equipment, and golf cars and utility vehicles.  The
                 total purchase price for Clark was approximately $1.5
                 billion.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. 
                 The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and
                 liabilities based on estimated fair values.  The company has
                 classified as goodwill the costs in excess of the fair value
                 of net assets acquired.  Such excess costs are being
                 amortized on a straight line basis over forty years. 
                 Intangible assets also represent costs allocated to patents
                 and trademarks and other specifically identifiable assets
                 arising from business acquisitions.  These assets are being
                 amortized over their estimated useful lives.

                 The results of Clark's operations have been included in the
                 consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
                 The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of
                 operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995, reflect
                 the acquisition as though it occurred at the beginning of
                 the period after adjustments for the impact of interest on
                 acquisition debt, depreciation and amortization of assets,
                 including goodwill, to reflect the preliminary purchase
                 price allocation, and the elimination of Clark's income from
                 discontinued operations related to its disposition of its
                 investment in VME Group N.V. (in millions except per share
                 amounts):

                 For the six months ended June 30                    1995
                   Sales                                           $3,195
                   Net earnings                                       126
                   Earnings per share                               $1.19

                 It should be noted that the above pro forma amounts were
                 adversely affected by the loss on the sale of the company's
                 domestic paving business, which was a preacquisition
                 requirement to the Clark purchase.  The above pro forma
                 results are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
                 results would have been had the acquisition occurred at the
                 beginning of the period.  Further, the pro forma results are
                 not intended to be a projection of future results of the
                 combined companies, as it should be noted that the Club Car
                 portion of the Clark acquisition tends to concentrate the
                 majority of its yearly operating profit during the first

                 half of the year.

        Note 3 - On January 31, 1996, the company acquired for $94.8 million
                 of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, the
                 Steelcraft Division of MascoTech, Inc.  Steelcraft
                 manufactures a wide range of cold-rolled and galvanized
                 steel doors for use primarily in nonresidential
                 construction.  The acquisition was accounted for as a
                 purchase with Steelcraft results included since the
                 acquisition date.  Pro forma results assuming Steelcraft had
                 been acquired at the beginning of the year would not have
                 been significantly different than those reported.

        Note 4 - In the first quarter of 1996, the company accrued for the
                 realignment of its foreign operations, principally in
                 Europe.  These accruals were primarily for severance
                 payments and pension benefits associated with work force
                 reductions.  Also in the first quarter, accruals were
                 established for the exit or abandonment of selected European
                 product lines and the closing of a steel foundry.  These
                 accruals totalled approximately $30.4 million and were
                 charged to operating income.    

        Note 5 - On March 26, 1996, the company sold most of the assets of
                 the Pulp Machinery Division for approximately $122.3 million
                 to Beloit Corporation, a subsidiary of Harnischfeger
                 Industries, Inc., realizing a pretax gain of $45 million. 
                 In addition in March 1996, the company sold an investment
                 for a gain of $4.8 million.  

        Note 6 - On May 15, 1995, the company sold its domestic paving
                 equipment business to Champion Road Machinery Limited of
                 Canada.  The sale was a preacquisition requirement of the
                 United States Justice Department prior to the Clark
                 acquisition.  The company incurred a $7.1 million pretax
                 loss associated with this sale in the second quarter of
                 1995.

        Note 7 - On September 28, 1995, the company sold 2,878,008 shares of
                 its Common Stock held in treasury to the Clark Equipment
                 Company Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the LESOP),
                 for a price of $36.25 per share (the closing price of the
                 Common Stock on September 27, 1995 on the New York Stock
                 Exchange) or an aggregate of approximately $104.3 million. 
                 At June 30, 1996, approximately 1.7 million of these shares
                 remain unallocated and the amount paid by the LESOP for
                 those unallocated shares is classified as a reduction of
                 shareowners' equity pending allocation to participants.  The
                 unallocated shares will be allocated to participants in the
                 LESOP (which now includes employees of the company as well
                 as those of Clark) as provided under its terms.

                 and $38.8 million at December 31, 1995.

        Note 9 - The company's investment in the Dresser-Rand partnership at
                 June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was $131.8 million and 
                 $182.8 million, respectively.  The company owed Dresser-Rand
                 $9.8 million at June 30, 1996 and $88.9 million at December
                 31, 1995.  During the first quarter of 1996, Dresser-Rand
                 distributed $100 million proportionally to its partners (the
                 company's share was $49 million) which was offset against
                 its advances to the partners.

                 Net sales of Dresser-Rand were $488.5 million for the six
                 months ended June 30, 1996 and $452.3 million for the six
                 months ended June 30, 1995; and gross profit was $104.4 
                 million and $93.1 million, respectively.  Dresser-Rand's net
                 income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $15.3
                 million, as compared to $10.8 million for the six months

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


                 Net sales for the second quarter of 1996 totalled $1.8
        billion, representing a 26.6-percent increase over last year's second
        quarter.  Net sales for the comparable quarter of 1995 totalled $1.4
        billion.  The 1996 results include a full quarter of activity from
        Clark Equipment Company (Clark), while the second quarter of 1995
        includes only Clark's results since the May 31, 1995, acquisition
        date. Net sales excluding Clark, for the 1996 second quarter
        approximated $1.4 billion, a 6.7-percent increase over the 1995
        second quarter.

                 Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
        totalled $176.3 million (a 10-percent operating margin), and
        represents a 48.5 percent improvement over the $118.7 million
        reported for the second quarter of 1995.  Excluding Clark's results,
        operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 totalled
        $127.6 million which reflects a 14.4-percent improvement over the
        prior year's second quarter.  Operating income for the second quarter
        of 1996 included the results of Clark for a full quarter, while
        operating income for the second quarter of 1995 included only Clark's
        results for June and the loss associated with the sale of the
        company's domestic paving equipment business (a preacquisition
        requirement for the company to complete the purchase of Clark).  

                 The company reported second quarter net earnings of $92.3
        million, or 86 cents per common share, versus $66.6 million, or 63
        cents per common share for the three months ended June 30, 1995,
        reflecting an improvement of 39 percent.   Net earnings from Clark
        contributed approximately $13.1 million (or 12 cents per common
        share) to the company's results for the three months ended June 30,
        1996 as compared to a net loss of two cents per share, in the similar
        quarter of 1995.  The company's strong second-quarter performance
        from Clark and its historical lines of business reflect continued
        strength in domestic markets, principally construction, general
        industrial, housing and automotive-related industries, together with
        an improvement in international operations.  

                 A partial liquidation of LIFO (last-in, first-out)
        inventories lowered costs by $2.3 million (approximately $1.4 million
        after-tax or one cent per share), during the second quarter of 1996. 
        There was no partial liquidation of LIFO inventories in the second
        quarter of 1995.  Foreign exchange losses for the second quarter of
        1996 decreased net earnings by $1.3 million, or one cent per common
        share, versus foreign exchange gains of $0.4 million, or less than
        one cent per common share for the comparable 1995 quarter.

                 For the first six months of 1996, net sales amounted to $3.4
        billion, a 31-percent improvement over last year's six-month total. 
        Sales for the first two quarters of the year, excluding Clark, would

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)

        have exceeded last year's comparable sales by approximately five
        percent.  Operating income for the first half of 1996 totalled $326.9
        million, which represents a 57-percent increase over the $207.9      
        million reported for the comparable 1995 period.  Operating income
        for the first six months of 1996, without Clark, increased by 18
        percent compared to 1995.  In addition to the inclusion of Clark
        results, the following noncomparable items affected the company's
        first six months results:

                 o  the net gain on the sale of the Pulp Machinery Division
                 generated net earnings  of approximately $28 million (or 26
                 cents per common share);
                 o  the charge to operating income for the realignment of the
                 company's foreign operations (principally in Europe)
                 totalled approximately $18 million.  This charge reduced net
                 earnings by approximately $11 million (or 11 cents per
                 common share);
                 o  charges associated with the exit or abandonment of
                 selected European product lines reduced operating income by
                 approximately $7 million.  The after-tax effect of this item
                 reduced net earnings by approximately $4.5 million (or four
                 cents per share);
                 o  charges incurred by Ingersoll-Dresser Pump Company (IDP)
                 for the closing of a steel foundry, reduced operating income
                 by approximately $5.4 million.  This item affected the
                 company's earnings by approximately $2 million (or two cents
                 per share);
                 o  a gain on the sale of an investment benefitted the first
                 six months results by $4.8 million ($3.0 million after-tax,
                 or three cents per common share).

                 The company reported net earnings of $166.8 million, or
        $1.56 per common share, for the first six months of 1996.  Net
        earnings for the first half of 1995 totalled $112.9 million, or $1.07
        per common share.  Net earnings from Clark for the first six months
        of 1996 resulted in income of $24.6 million, or 23 cents per common
        share.  Net earnings from Clark and the loss associated with the sale
        of the company's domestic paving equipment business resulted in a net
        loss of $2.0 million, or two cents per share, during the first six
        months of 1995. 

                 A partial liquidation of LIFO inventories lowered costs
        during the first six months of 1996 by $2.3 million (approximately
        $1.4 million after-tax or one cent per common share).  There was no
        partial liquidation of LIFO inventories during the first six months
        of 1995.  Foreign exchange losses for the first six months of 1996
        decreased net earnings by $2.4 million or two cents per share as
        compared to foreign exchange losses of $4.3 million or four cents per
        share for the comparable 1995 period.

                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS        
                                     (continued)

                 The ratio of cost of goods sold to sales for both the second
        quarter and first half of 1996 with or without considering the
        operating performance of Clark, remained approximately the same over
        the comparable periods in 1995.  The ratio of administrative, selling
        and service engineering expenses to sales for both the second quarter
        and first six months of the year with or without Clark related
        activities improved over the comparable periods in 1995.

                 Other income (expense) aggregated $(0.5) million of net
        expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $4.9
        million over the other income reported for 1995's second quarter. 
        The second quarter decrease in other income(expense) was attributed
        to increased losses from foreign exchange activities and an increase
        in miscellaneous expenses when compared to the amounts reported for
        the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.  For the first six months
        of 1996, other income (expense) totalled $(1.9) million, a slight
        increase of $0.3 million over the $(1.6) million of other expense
        reported for the first six months of 1995.  This unfavorable change
        was primarily the net effect of two positive and two negative items. 
        The positive items included the first quarter gain on the sale of an
        investment and a reduction in losses from foreign currency
        activities.  Offsetting these items were a reduction in the company's
        portion of earnings from its partially-owned equity companies and an
        increase in miscellaneous expense.

                 IDP is a partnership between Dresser Industries, Inc.
        (Dresser) and the company.  The IDP minority interest represents
        Dresser's interest in the operating results of IDP.  During the
        second quarter of 1996, the minority interest charge totalled $4.2
        million, which indicates that IDP generated net earnings at the
        partnership level of approximately $8.6 million.  For the first half
        of 1996, the minority interest charge totalled $4.3 million, which
        indicates that IDP generated approximately $8.8 million of net
        earnings at the partnership level for the first six months of the
        year.  For the second quarter and first six months of 1995, the
        minority interest charge for IDP was $3.1 million and $5.4 million,
        respectively.

                 The company's pretax profits for its 49-percent interest in
        Dresser-Rand Company (another partnership between Dresser and the
        company) totalled $7.0 million for the second quarter of the year and
        $7.5 million for the first half of 1996.  This compares to income of
        $5.0 million for the second quarter of 1995 and $5.3 million for the
        six months ended June 30, 1995.  The second-quarter increase was
        attributable to strength in Dresser-Rand's markets as compared to a
        year ago.

                 Interest expense for the second quarter and first six months
        of 1996 was $32.1 million and $63.4 million, respectively.  The
        interest expense reported for the quarter and the six months of 1996
        was almost evenly divided between normal interest expense from the

                              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        combined operations of Ingersoll-Rand and Clark, and interest expense
        associated with the Clark acquisition.  Interest expense for the
        second quarter of 1995 totalled $18.1 million and $27.0 million for
        the first six months of 1995.

                 The company's effective tax rate for both the second quarter
        and first six months of 1996 was 37.0 percent.  The company's
        effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of
        1995 were 37.7 percent and 37.0 percent, respectively.  The company's
        effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35.0 percent
        mainly due to the nondeductibility of goodwill associated with the
        Clark acquisition. In addition, the rate is also higher than the
        statutory rate because of state income taxes and some foreign
        earnings being taxed at higher rates.  The effective tax rate for the
        full year of 1995 was 37.0 percent.

                 The consolidated results for both the second quarter and
        first six months of the year benefitted from business improvements in
        most of the company's domestic markets (including construction,
        housing and general industrial).  International business has
        generally reflected increases during the first six months of 1996
        when compared to the comparable period in 1995.  Incoming orders for
        the second quarter of the year totalled $1.7 billion and represent an
        increase of 24 percent over the 1995 second quarter.  New orders
        associated with Clark totalled approximately $340 million.  Second
        quarter bookings, excluding Clark, were up eight percent and
        reflected strong domestic growth and modest softness in selected
        international areas.  The company's backlog of orders at June 30,
        1996 and December 31, 1995, believed by it to be firm, was
        approximately $1.6 billion.  The company estimates that approximately
        90 percent of the backlog will be shipped during the next twelve
        months.


        Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 The company's financial position at June 30, 1996 was
        comparable to its position at December 31, 1995.  In the first six
        months of 1996, working capital increased by approximately $18.5
        million to $1,034.9 million at June 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995's
        balance of $1,016.4 million.  The current ratio at June 30, 1996 was
        1.8 to 1, unchanged from December 31, 1995.

                 The company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $63.7
        million during the first six months of 1996 to $73.6 million from
        $137.3 million at December 31, 1995.  In evaluating the net change in
        cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating, investing and
        financing activities, and the effect of exchange rate changes should
        be considered. Cash flows from operating activities provided $81.0

        million, investing activities used $89.6 million and financing
        activities used $62.7 million.  Exchange rate changes during the
        first six months of 1996 increased cash and cash equivalents by $7.6
        million.

                 Receivables totalled $1.2 billion at June 30, 1996, which
        represents a $64.8 million increase from the amount reported at
        December 31, 1995.  This increase was due to the inclusion of
        receivables from the Steelcraft acquisition and the effect of a
        strong selling period towards the end of the second quarter, offset
        by the effect of translation, dispositions and aggressive collection
        efforts. 

                 Inventories totalled $949.2 million at June 30, 1996,
        approximately $36.6 million higher than the December 31, 1995 level. 
        The activity during the first half of 1996 represents the net effect
        of increased sales and acquisitions and dispositions, offset by a
        decrease of $9.3 million due to the effect of currency translation on
        the international inventories.

                 Intangible assets increased approximately $45 million.  This
        net increase came from the first quarter acquisition of Steelcraft
        offset by amortization.

                 Long-term debt, including current maturities, at the end of
        the first six months of the year, totalled $1.4 billion.  The
        company's June 30, 1996 debt-to-total capital ratio was 43 percent,
        which reflects continuing improvement from the 45 percent ratio at
        December 31, 1995.  

                 During the first six months of 1996, foreign currency
        adjustments resulted in a net decrease of $14.3 million in
        shareowners' equity, caused by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar
        against other currencies.  Currency changes in Australia, Belgium,
        France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Africa and Spain accounted for
        over 90 percent of this change.  The translation of accounts
        receivable and inventories were the principal balance sheet items
        affected by currency fluctuations in the first six months of 1996.


        Environmental Matters

                 Environmental matters at June 30, 1996 remain substantially
        unchanged from December 31, 1995.  The company has been identified as
        a potentially responsible party in environmental proceedings brought
        under both the federal Superfund law and state remediation laws,
        involving 38 sites within the United States.  For all sites, there
        are other potentially responsible parties, and in most instances, the
        company's involvement is minimal.  Although there is a possibility
        that a responsible party might have to bear more than its
        proportional share of site clean-up costs, if other responsible

        parties fail to make contributions, the company has not yet had, and
        to date there is no indication that it will have, to bear more than
        its proportional share of clean-up costs at any site.  The company
        also is engaged in site investigations and remedial activities to
        address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and
        former manufacturing facilities.  Additionally, Clark is a defendant
        in a lawsuit filed by the United States Environmental Protection
        Agency that seeks civil penalties for alleged violations of the Clean
        Water Act, arising out of the discharge of certain metal finishing
        wastewaters generated at an active manufacturing facility.  Although
        uncertainties regarding environmental technology, state and federal
        regulations, insurance coverage and individual site information make
        estimating the liability difficult, management believes that the
        total liability for the cost of environmental remediation will not
        have a material effect on the financial condition, the results of
        operations, liquidity or cash flows of the company.  It should be
        noted that when the company estimates its liability for environmental
        matters, such estimates are based on current technologies and the
        company does not discount its liability or assume any insurance
        recoveries.


        Acquisitions

                 On January 31, 1996 the company acquired the Steelcraft
        Division of MascoTech, Inc., which manufactures a wide range of cold-
        rolled and galvanized steel doors for use primarily in nonresidential
        construction.  The acquisition was paid for in cash and the
        assumption of certain liabilities.  Steelcraft is now a division of
        the Architectural Hardware Group. 

                 On May 25, 1995, CEC Acquisition Corp. (CEC), a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of the company, acquired 16,553,617 shares of Clark,
        which, together with shares already owned by the company, represented
        approximately 98.4 percent of the outstanding shares, for a cash
        price of $86 per share pursuant to an April 12, 1995 amended tender
        offer.  Clark's business is the design, manufacture and sale of
        compact construction machinery, asphalt paving equipment, axles and 
        transmissions for off-highway equipment, and golf cars and utility 
        vehicles.  On May 31, 1995, the company completed the merger of CEC
        with Clark.  Upon consummation of the merger, Clark became a wholly-
        owned subsidiary of the company and the shareholders of Clark who did
        not tender their shares became entitled to receive $86 per share. 
        The total purchase price for Clark was approximately $1.5 billion  
        after taking into account amounts paid in respect of outstanding
        stock options and certain transactions.  Included among the assets
        acquired by the company (indirectly through the acquisition of the
        shares of Clark) are the Melroe Company, Blaw-Knox Construction
        Equipment Company, Clark-Hurth Components and Club Car, Inc.  Melroe

        products consist of skid steer loaders, compact excavators and a
        limited line of agricultural equipment.  Blaw-Knox is one of the
        leading producers of asphalt paving equipment in the world.  The
        products of the Clark-Hurth business consist of axles and
        transmissions for off-highway equipment.  Club Car produces golf cars
        and light utility vehicles.  The Clark acquisition has been accounted
        for as a purchase and Clark's assets have been consolidated into the
        financial statements of the company.   


        Dispositions

                 On March 26, 1996, the company sold most of the assets of
        the Pulp Machinery Division for approximately $122.3 million to
        Beloit Corporation, a subsidiary of Harnischfeger Industries, Inc.,
        realizing a pretax gain of $45 million.  In addition, in March 1996,
        the company sold an investment in CAPCO Automotive Products
        Corporation for a pretax gain of $4.8 million.

        Contingencies

                 Clark sold Clark Material Handling Company (CMHC), its
        forklift truck business, to Terex Corporation (Terex) in 1992.  As
        part of the sale Terex and CMHC assumed substantially all of Clark's
        obligations for existing and future product liability claims
        involving CMHC products.  In the event that Terex and CMHC fail to
        perform or are unable to discharge the assumed obligations, Clark
        would be required to discharge such obligations.  While the aggregate
        losses associated with these obligations could be significant, the
        company does not believe they would materially affect the financial
        condition, the results of operation, liquidity or cash flows of the
        company. 

        Review of Business Segments

                  The Standard Machinery Segment reported sales of $798.8
        million during the second quarter of 1996, which represents a 47-
        percent increase from the $543.5 million for the same quarter of last
        year.  This segment includes the operating results since acquisition
        of all Clark operations, with the exception of the Clark-Hurth unit. 
        Excluding the sales from the Clark unit, the second-quarter sales for
        this segment were $480.9 million, or 6.9 percent over last year's
        second-quarter total.  Operating income for the quarter was $100.3
        million and represents a 102-percent improvement over the $49.7
        million reported for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  Excluding
        the Clark operations, second-quarter operating income would have been
        $49.2 million, a 34-percent improvement over 1995's second quarter. 
        For the first half of 1996, the segment's net sales totalled $1,487.3

        million, which was 57.9-percent above the $942.2 million reported for
        the comparable 1995 period.  Excluding the Clark operations,
        operating income for the first six months of 1996 would have been
        $61.9 million, and it included approximately $16 million of
        noncomparable charges due to actions taken by the company during the
        first quarter of the year.  Stronger domestic and international
        markets helped the traditional Construction and Mining and Air
        Compressor groups report increased sales when compared to the 1995
        figures.  

                 Engineered Equipment Segment's sales for the second quarter
        of the year totalled $336.0 million, which were $60.4 million higher
        than 1995's second-quarter total of $275.6 million.  This segment's
        activities include the operating results of the Clark-Hurth unit, but
        exclude the results of the Pulp Machinery Division which was sold
        during the first quarter of 1996.  Excluding the Clark-Hurth sales,
        second quarter sales for the segment were $244.9 million.  Operating
        income for the quarter totalled $12.0 million, a modest improvement
        over the $11.1 million reported for 1995's second quarter.  Clark-
        Hurth operated essentially at break-even for the second quarter of
        1996, principally because of the poor economic situation in its
        German markets.  For the first six months of 1996, the segment
        reported sales of $676.2 million.  Operating income for the first
        half of 1996 was $63.4 million.  Second-quarter sales for IDP were up
        over 10 percent and their operating income was more than double the
        amount reported for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  IDP's
        sales for the first six months of 1996 were slightly above the amount
        reported for the first half of 1995, while the operating income for
        the six months ended June 30, 1996 was down slightly from the prior
        year's comparable period.  The remaining portion of the Process
        Systems Group reported a modest increase in its second-quarter sales
        and operating income compared to 1996 second-quarter results.

                 The Bearings, Locks and Tools Segment reported sales of
        $627.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, a 9.4-
        percent increase over last year's second-quarter total of $573.0
        million.  Operating income was $74.7 million, as compared to the 1995
        second-quarter level of $67.7 million.  For the first six months of
        1996, the segment reported net sales of $1.2 billion, 6.7-percent
        above the amount reported in the comparable period of 1995. 
        Operating income for the first half of 1996, totalled $132.1 million
        compared to $123.0 million reported for the six months ended June 30,
        1995.

                 The Bearings and Components Group's sales and operating
        income in the second quarter of 1996 were approximately five-percent
        higher than in the 1995 second quarter.  Sales and operating income
        of the Bearings and Components Group for the six months ended June
        30, 1996 were both up slightly.

                 Sales in the Architectural Hardware Group for the three and
        the six months ended June 30, 1996 were up approximately 25 percent,
        with half of the increase attributed to the January 31, 1996
        acquisition of Steelcraft.  Operating income for the group was up
        over fifteen percent, when compared to the amounts reported for the
        three and six months ended June 30, 1995. 

                 The Production Equipment Group's sales for the second
        quarter of 1996 were slightly above the amounts reported for the
        three months ended June 30, 1995, while operating income was up over
        10 percent for the 1996 second quarter.  Sales and operating income
        of the Production Equipment Group for the six months ended June 30,
        1996 decreased slightly from last year's amounts for the comparable
        period.

                                  EARNINGS PER SHARE                



        Note 1 -  Shares issuable under outstanding stock plans, applying the
                  "Treasury Stock" method, have been excluded from the
                  computation of primary earnings per share since such shares
                  were less than 1% of common shares outstanding.

             2 -  Net earnings per share of common stock computed on a fully
                  diluted basis are based on the average number of common
                  shares outstanding during each year after adjustment for
                  individual securities which may be dilutive.  Securities
                  entering into consideration in making this calculation are
                  common shares issuable under employee stock plans. 
                  Employee stock options outstanding are included in the
                  calculation of fully diluted earnings per share by applying
                  the "Treasury Stock" method quarterly.  Such calculations
                  are made using the higher of the average month-end market
                  prices or the market price at the end of the quarter, in
                  order to reflect the maximum potential dilution.

                             PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION


        Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

                 In the normal course of business, the company is involved in
        a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including
        proceedings for the clean-up of approximately 38 waste sites under
        federal Superfund and similar state laws.  In the opinion of the
        company, pending legal matters, including the one discussed below,
        are not expected to have a material adverse affect on the results of
        operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

                 On October 5, 1992, the United States Environmental
        Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Finding of Violation and Order for
        Compliance (Order) alleging that Clark failed to comply with the
        pretreatment regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 306 and 307
        of the Clean Water Act.  The Order alleged that certain metal
        finishing wastewaters generated at the Clark Melroe facility in
        Gwinner, North Dakota were discharged into the Publicly Owned
        Treatment Works (POTW) operated by the City of Gwinner in violation
        of the applicable pretreatment regulations.  The Order also alleged
        that Clark failed to comply with the discharge limitations for metal
        finishing wastewater and all related reporting requirements.  Clark
        has taken all actions required of it under the Order.

                 On April 29, 1994, in United States of America v. Clark
        Equipment Company d/b/a Melroe Company, the U.S. filed suit against
        Clark in the United States District Court for the District of North
        Dakota.  The complaint sought (i) to permanently enjoin Clark to
        comply fully with all applicable requirements of the Clean Water Act
        and Regulations and (ii) civil penalties against Clark of up to
        $25,000 per day for each violation for (a) alleged discharges of
        pollutants in violations of the effluent limitations contained in the
        pretreatment regulations, (b) a failure to submit timely and complete
        reports and (c) a failure to sample and analyze its regulated
        wastewater prior to discharge into the POTW.  On July 17, 1996, a
        stipulation of settlement between the U.S. and Clark was lodged with
        the court for a public notice and comment period.  In the
        stipulation, Clark agrees to pay a $250,000 civil penalty and the
        U.S. agrees to dismiss its suit.  Subject to the comment period,
        which expires on August 9, 1996, the stipulation of settlement will
        be entered on the court docket and will be final.


        Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

                 At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the company held on
        April 26, 1996, the shareholders, in addition to electing directors,
        ratified the appointment of Price Waterhouse LLP as independent
        accountants of the company for the year ending December 31, 1996 (the
        vote for such proposal being 91,609,506 shares for, 201,422 shares
        against and 240,180 shares abstaining).
