Report of Independent Accountants
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
The Shannon Group, Inc. and Subsidiary:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The
Shannon Group, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of The Shannon Group, Inc. and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 8, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes in 1993.

The Shannon Group, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Business Description:
The Shannon Group, Inc. and its subsidiary (the Company) designs,
manufactures and markets commercial and industrial refrigeration
systems and residential refrigeration units.
Principles of Consolidation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kolpak
Manufacturing, Inc. (KMFG). All material intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The Company sells its commercial products primarily to food service
dealers throughout the United States and its residential products to a
reseller of refrigeration equipment. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require
collateral. See Note 6 for discussion of a significant customer.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
primarily determined using standard costs which approximate costs
utilizing the first-in, first-out method.
Property, Plant and Equipment:
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and
amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
At the time assets are sold or retired, the cost of the asset and
related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the
accounts with the resulting gain or loss included in operations.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while major
renewals or betterments are capitalized.
Goodwill:
The excess of cost over estimated fair value of net assets acquired is
amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method.
Noncompete Agreements and Other Assets:
A portion of the purchase price of acquired businesses has been
allocated to noncompete agreements with former owners based on their
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The amounts are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract lives of five
years. Other assets include deferred costs related to debt
origination, employee contracts, deferred start-up costs, and other
costs specifically related to the acquisition. These costs are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated
period of benefit or the contract term (varying periods of three to
seven years).
Income Taxes:
For federal income tax purposes, KMFG is included in the
Company's consolidated income tax return.
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in
future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the
periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable
income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred Revenue on Extended Warranty Contracts:
Amounts received from extended warranty contracts have been deferred
and are being recognized as revenue using the straight-line method
over the five-year life of the contracts. The expense related to
fulfilling these contracts is recognized in the period costs are
incurred.
2. Acquisitions:
In April 1994, the Company bought 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Minnesota Store Equipment Company (MSE), and land and
buildings held by partnerships with common ownership with MSE, for
$17.1 million (excluding direct costs of the acquisition of
approximately $530,000 and including cash acquired of approximately
$3.7 million). MSE manufactures commercial walk-in cooler and freezer
units for convenience stores, grocery chains and restaurants across
North America. The acquisition resulted in excess cost over net assets
acquired (goodwill) of approximately $8.3 million.
In May 1994, the Company purchased certain assets, primarily machinery
and equipment and inventory, of Glenco Star Corporation (Glenco) for
$590,000 (excluding direct costs of the acquisition of approximately
$605,000, primarily related to transporting the inventory and
equipment to the Company's manufacturing facility and preparing for
production). Glenco was a manufacturer of commercial reach-in cooler
and freezer units for convenience stores across North America. In
conjunction with the acquisition, the Company also entered into an
agreement under which the sellers will receive, as additional
consideration for the assets purchased, 3-1/4% of the cash collected
for Glenco related sales through September 1998, up to a maximum
amount of $1,100,000. The minimum payments required by the agreement
of $560,000 have been discounted and recorded as additional purchase
consideration and long-term debt (see Note 4). Goodwill will be
increased in future years to the extent that payments exceed the
minimum amount recorded. The Glenco acquisition resulted in goodwill
of approximately $370,000.
The acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase prices have been allocated
to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated
fair values at the respective dates of acquisition. Also, the results
of MSE's and Glenco's operations have been included in the Company's
financial statements since their date of acquisition.

The Company has an agreement expiring in 1995 whereby a company
affiliated with a shareholder provides management services to the
Company. The agreement, as amended, provides for annual charges not
to exceed $325,000 (as adjusted for inflation each year) plus actual
out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $75,000 per year. The Company
recognized $335,000, $273,000 and $266,000 of expense during the years
ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, under this
portion of the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay
the affiliate specified amounts for special services including
acquisition and financing support. During 1994, the Company paid
$440,000 for acquisition and financing-related services rendered by
the affiliate in connection with the MSE acquisition (see Note 2).
The affiliate allocated $105,000 of its fee to acquisition-related
services, which accordingly is included in the direct cost of the
acquisition; the remaining $335,000 of financing-related services are
included in the table above as debt origination fees.
During 1990, KMFG entered into a five-year sales agreement with a
customer whereby the customer agreed to purchase KMFG's entire
production of residential refrigeration units (see Note 6). The
customer reimburses KMFG for certain approved tooling costs generally
on a per-unit basis as units are shipped. A portion of these costs
are classified as current assets based upon the anticipated timing of
collections.
In addition to the tooling costs, KMFG has incurred other start-up
costs such as product and manufacturing engineering, rearrangement of
the manufacturing facility and employee training. These costs have
been deferred and are being amortized to cost of sales in the
statements of operations using the units-of-production method.
In September 1994, the customer sales agreement was extended through
December 31, 1998. In addition, KMFG is required to spend up to $3.5
million for new tooling design for which the customer will reimburse
KMFG over a three-year period beginning the month in which KMFG begins
selling the new models. Management believes that such sales will begin
in mid-1995. Through December 31, 1994, KMFG had spent $1.2 million
for such tooling development.

contingent subordinated promissory notes to the sellers. Prior to
December 1994, the contingent notes had not been recorded as
liabilities as they were required to be paid only if the Company met
certain target earnings levels. In December 1994, the contingent
noteholders agreed to accept $1.1 million as a final settlement on the
note obligations, which was accounted for as an increase to goodwill
and long-term debt. The Company paid $258,000 to the noteholders in
December 1994 and the remainder in January 1995.
The Company has an agreement with GECC covering the term notes
payable, the revolving loan and the senior subordinated notes payable
(the GECC agreement). Borrowings under the agreement are
collateralized by all assets and common stock of the Company. The
maximum amount of the revolving loan is $18 million. The amount
available for borrowing under terms of the GECC agreement at December
31, 1994 and 1993 was $17.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
The GECC agreement contains warranties and covenants that must be
complied with on a continuing basis. Default on any warranty or
covenant could accelerate the maturity of these borrowings. The
agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants
which include, among others, minimum net worth, maximum capital
expenditures, minimum cash flows and maximum total liabilities.

5. Shareholders' Equity:
9% Cumulative Senior Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock:
The Company has 1,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, of which
50 shares have been designated as senior preferred shares. At
December 31, 1994 and 1993, 50 shares of the senior preferred stock
were issued and outstanding.
Senior preferred shareholders are entitled to one vote per share and
vote as one class with the common shareholders. The Company may
redeem all or part of the outstanding senior preferred stock at any
time for a redemption price of $100,000 per share plus unpaid
dividends; mandatory redemption is required on or before November 29,
1997. No dividends, redemption or payments in liquidation may be made
with respect to common stock or any other class of stock prior to the
complete redemption of the senior preferred stock. Required dividends
have been paid annually.
Stock Warrants:
Warrants to purchase 471 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share
were issued to GECC in connection with the senior subordinated notes
payable (see Note 4) and are exercisable through November 29, 2000.
The proceeds allocated to these warrants at issuance in 1990 were
recorded as common stock warrant repurchase obligation in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Among other things, the
warrants provide for adjustments of the exercise price and the number
of shares issuable thereunder in the event that the Company issues
additional shares of common stock or declares a stock split.
The Company is obligated to repurchase the warrants, or stock issued
thereunder, if demanded by GECC. The repurchase price is at a market
price to be determined based on the then-current value of the Company,
as defined by the agreement. The repurchase price would have been
approximately $10.2 million at December 31, 1994 and approximately
$7.5 million at December 31, 1993. Each year, the amount necessary to
record the repurchases obligation at its current repurchase price is
accreted to common stock warrant repurchase obligation by direct
charges to accumulated deficit. The amount accreted was $2.6 million,
$3.2 million and $2.1 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
6. Commitments and Contingencies:
Sales:
KMFG has entered into a sales agreement with a customer which expires
on December 31, 1998. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the
customer will purchase KMFG's entire production of residential
refrigeration units. As discussed in Note 3, the agreement also
requires the Company to incur certain costs (see Note 3). This
customer represents approximately 14%, 18% and 24% of sales in 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively, and 10% and 14% of accounts receivable at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Leases:
The Company leases equipment, warehouse facilities and office space
under noncancellable operating leases which expire at various dates
through 1997. The monthly rentals under these agreements vary from
month to month because certain facility leases also require the
Company to pay a pro rata share of lessors' operating costs. The
Company has the option to renew certain leases for a specified period
of time, and/or the option to purchase the related asset at fair value
at the end of the lease term. Rent expense was $642,000, $565,000 and
$631,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

</TABLE>
Litigation:
The Company is a defendant in several lawsuits incidental to its
operations. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters
will not have a material impact on the financial position or results
of operations of the Company.
7. Employee Benefit Plans:
Employees of the Company covered under collective bargaining
agreements are participants in a defined contribution multi-employer
pension plan. Contributions are determined in accordance with
provisions of a negotiated labor contract. The Company charged
$90,000, $81,000 and $79,000 to expense during the years ended
December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, related to this plan.
Former employees of MSE who meet specified eligibility requirements
are participants in one of three contributory defined contribution
plans qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. In
accordance with the plan agreements, the Company is required on an
annual basis to contribute an amount equal to 25% of the employees'
contributions up to specified limits. Additionally, the Company may
elect to make discretionary contributions to the plans. The Company
charged $35,000 to expense during 1994 related to these plans.
The Company also maintains a contributory defined contribution profit
sharing and retirement plan covering substantially all eligible
employees, as defined, excluding those covered under collective
bargaining agreements or the MSE plans. Required Company
contributions are calculated as a percentage of employee contributions
in accordance with the plan agreement. Discretionary contributions to
the plan are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The
Company charged $100,000, $69,000 and $98,000 to expense during the
years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, related to
this plan. There were no discretionary contributions to the plan in
1994, 1993 or 1992.
8. Income Taxes:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109) effective January 1,
1993. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting for income
taxes increased net income by $919,000, which is reported separately
in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1993, and decreased goodwill by $1,645,000 as a result of
recording the tax benefit of acquired net operating loss
carryforwards. Excluding the amount recognized as the cumulative
effect of the change, the effect of applying SFAS 109 on income from
operations and net income for the year ended December 31, 1993 was a
decrease of approximately $170,000. The 1992 financial statements
have not been restated. Under SFAS 109, commencing in 1993, the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards are not presented as
extraordinary items for income statement classification purposes.

carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2001 to 2007.
9. Restructuring Credit:
The Company recorded a charge to operations in 1991 of $3,465,000 to
accrue for the estimated costs of closing its Los Angeles, California
manufacturing facility, related operating losses and the write-off of
certain related intangible assets. Actual costs to close the facility
were less than originally anticipated and, accordingly, the Company
recorded a $350,000 credit to operations in 1992.

THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
On December 1, 1995, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (``Manitowoc'')
acquired all of the outstanding common stock of The Shannon Group,
Inc. (``Shannon'') for $126.0 million plus direct costs of the
acquisition of $2,454,000 and the assumption of certain current
liabilities. The acquisition was financed through Manitowoc's credit
facilities.
Shannon is a manufacturer of commercial refrigerators, freezers and
related products, ranging from small under-counter units to 300,000
square foot refrigerated warehouses. Among its wide range of
products, Shannon is best known for its foamed-in-place walk-in
refrigeration units, wood rail walk-in units, refrigerated food-prep
tables, reach-in refrigerator/freezers and modular refrigeration
systems. Shannon is the primary or sole supplier of walk-in
refrigerator/freezers to many of the leading restaurant and grocery
chains in the United States. Presently, Shannon produces its
refrigeration products at nine facilities located in Tennessee, Iowa
and Wisconsin, and employs 1,200 persons.
Shannon's products are marketed under six brand names. It is
Manitowoc's intention to preserve these brand identities, as well as
to keep Shannon's businesses operating independently under the
direction of the present management. The acquisition is expected to
complement Manitowoc's existing food service product line.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements
are derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
historical financial statements of Manitowoc as of and for the
transition period ended December 31, 1994 (previously filed on Form
10-Q), the audited historical financial statements of Manitowoc for
the year ended July 2, 1994, and the audited historical financial
statements of Shannon for the year ended December 31, 1994 included
elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A. The December 31, 1994 Manitowoc
historical financial statements are unaudited due to a change in
fiscal year end from the Saturday nearest June 30 to December 31. The
change was approved by Manitowoc's Board of Directors in August, 1994.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements have been compiled as if Manitowoc acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Shannon on the date of the balance sheet
or as of the beginning of the period for purposes of the statements of
operations. The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently
available information and upon certain assumptions.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are
provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative
of the results of future operations or the future financial position of
Manitowoc or the actual results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition of Shannon been consummated prior to the periods presented.

THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
I. Basis of Presentation
The pro forma financial statements give effect to the proposed
acquisition.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements have been compiled as if Manitowoc acquired
all of the outstanding common stock of Shannon on the date of the
balance sheet or as of the beginning of the period for purposes
of the statements of operations. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon currently available information and upon certain
assumptions.
The acquisition has been accounted for in the unaudited pro forma
consolidated condensed financial statements using the purchase
method. Pro forma adjustments are required to adjust the
historical financial statements of Shannon and Manitowoc to
reflect the addition of debt used to finance the acquisition,
additional interest expense associated with such debt, and to
reflect amortization of intangible assets resulting from
application of the purchase method of accounting.
II. Pro Forma Adjustments
a) To amortize the purchase accounting fair value adjustments
related to tangible and intangible assets acquired, as if the
acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994.
b) To increase interest expense by applying Manitowoc's 1994
borrowing rate of 5.715% to long-term debt acquired to finance
the Shannon acquisition. The rate represents average 1994
monthly LIBOR rate plus 1.25% which is the rate stated in the new
long-term debt agreement established to finance the acquisition.
c) To record the income tax benefit related to additional interest
expense.
