Report of Independent Accountants



Board of Directors
SerVend International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SerVend
International, Inc. and Affiliate as of October 31, 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and
cash flows for the period January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of SerVend International, Inc. and Affiliate as of October 31, 1997,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
period January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

SERVEND INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND AFFILIATE
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   Description of Business:

SerVend International, Inc. ("SerVend") is primarily engaged in the
design, manufacture and sale of ice and beverage dispensers, beverage
dispenser valves and ice machines to beverage companies, national
accounts and food service equipment distributors throughout the world.
An affiliate, Fischer Enterprises, Ltd. (Fischer), a limited
partnership owned substantially by the stockholders of SerVend, owns
plant facilities and equipment which are leased to SerVend.  SerVend
is the general partner of the limited partnership and has guaranteed
the industrial revenue bonds payable by Fischer.  (See Note 7.)

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     a.   Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial
          statements include the accounts of SerVend and Fischer (the
          "Company").  All significant intercompany accounts and
          transactions have been eliminated.  SerVend has a 4%
          ownership interest in Fischer and other partners of Fischer
          own 100% of SerVend.  The financial position and results of
          operations of Fischer are consolidated with SerVend due to
          common ownership and the fact that Fischer operates
          exclusively for the benefit of SerVend.

     b.   Inventories:  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost
          (standard cost, which approximates first-in, first-out) or
          market.

     c.   Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and
          equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated on the
          basis of estimated useful lives of the assets, principally
          using accelerated methods.  Depreciation is provided
          principally under the double declining balance method over
          the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range (in
          years) from 15-32 for improvements, 32 for building, 3-7 for
          equipment, 5-7 for furniture and fixtures and 5 for
          vehicles.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
          When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
          cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
          the account with the resulting gain or loss reflected in
          income.

     d.   Intangible Assets:  Patents are amortized by the straight-
          line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives
          or legal terms.  Loan costs are amortized over the term of
          the related loan by the straight-line method. Cost in excess
          of net assets acquired is amortized by using the straight-
          line method over 15 years.  On an ongoing basis, management
          evaluates the recoverability of the net carrying value of
          intangible assets by reference to the anticipated future
          cash flows.

     e.   Research and Development:  Research and development costs
          are charged to expense as incurred.  Research and
          development expenses were approximately $1,992,000 during
          the period January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997.
         
     f.   Statement of Cash Flows:  Cash and cash equivalents include
          highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
          months or less.

     g.   Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company maintains the
          majority of its cash and cash equivalents with a financial
          institution located in New Albany, Indiana. Generally, the
          cash and cash equivalent aggregate balances are in excess of
          the FDIC insurance level.

     h.   Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue from
          product sales upon shipment to a customer.

     i.   Net Income per Common Share:  Net income per common share is
          based on weighted average shares outstanding during the
          period.

     j.   Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
          generally accepted accounting principles requires management
          to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
          amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
          contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
          financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results
          could differ from those estimates.

6.   Short-Term Bank Borrowings:

For working capital purposes, the Company utilized a $4,750,000 line

                                                           7,209,623
Less current portion                                        (621,214)

                                                          ==========


All land, building and equipment of the Company and Fischer are
pledged as collateral on the short-term bank borrowings (see Note 6)
and on all of the above long-term debt except for the notes payable to
former owner of acquired business, which is collateralized by accounts
receivable arising out of the sale of valves assembled by the acquired
business.

PNC Bank has issued letters of credit in favor of the holders of both
issuances of the economic development revenue bonds as additional
collateral for the bonds.  Covenants related to the economic
development revenue bonds and the letters of credit require the
Company (as guarantor), among other things, to maintain tangible net
worth of not less than $5 million, limits the ratio of total
liabilities to tangible net worth to 3:1, and require the Company to
maintain a debt coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0.

The value of all debt approximates its fair market value since the
stated rates approximate market or are at variable rates which reprice
frequently based upon changes in market rates.

Scheduled maturities of long-term debt without regard to the amounts
paid in full in November, 1997, are as follows:

8.   Income Taxes:

SerVend has elected to be taxed as an S-Corp. and, as such, taxable
income or tax losses are included in the federal and state income tax
returns of its stockholders.  Fischer is a partnership and, as such,
income or loss of the partnership is included in the tax returns of
its partners.  Accordingly, no accrual for income taxes has been made
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.


9.   Stock Redemption Agreement:

SerVend and the stockholders of SerVend are parties to a Stock
Redemption Agreement (the "Agreement") which gives SerVend the
option to purchase a withdrawing stockholders' common stock. In the
event SerVend does not exercise this option, other stockholders have
the option to purchase this stock. If neither SerVend nor the other
stockholders exercise these options, the stock may be sold to another
purchaser but not at a price or on terms more favorable than those
offered to SerVend and the other stockholders. Upon the death of a
stockholder, SerVend must purchase all of the common stock of the
deceased stockholder at a price and on the terms as specified in the
Agreement.

 
10.  Profit-Sharing Plans:

SerVend maintains a profit-sharing plan for the benefit of all
employees under which it may contribute annually an amount determined
by the Board of Directors. SerVend contributed approximately $523,000
to the profit sharing portion of the plan during the period ended
October 31, 1997.  The plan also includes participant directed
investments and 401(k) features with a discretionary company
contribution to match part of the participant contributions. The
401(k) company matching contribution was approximately $79,000 during
the period ended October 31, 1997.

11.  Major Customers:

One customer accounted for 35% of total sales during the period
January 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997.  This customer accounted for
21% of accounts receivable at October 31, 1997.


12.  Litigation:

In 1996, SerVend and Fischer were named defendants in a patent
infringement action, brought by a competitor which alleged the
Company's ice/beverage dispensers infringed upon their patent.  The
competitor claimed substantial lost profits and royalty damages. On
August 22, 1997, the action was settled for $1,400,000.

In addition, the Company is a party to other legal proceedings in the
ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of
management, the ultimate resolution of such other legal matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.


13.  Export Sales:
<TABLE>

Export sales by geographical region for the period ended October 31,
1997 approximated:

The Company's export sales are denominated in U.S. currency.



14.  Subsequent Events:

On November 1, 1997, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (Manitowoc) purchased
substantially all of the net business assets of SerVend and Fischer.
As a result of the purchase, the short-term bank borrowings and
certain long-term bank debt was paid in full by Manitowoc.  The
remaining long-term debt was assumed by Manitowoc.  (See Notes 6 and 7).

During November 1997, the Company decided to terminate its
relationship with certain product distributors.  In accordance with
the distributor agreements, the distributors have the right to return
certain products purchased within the last year if the distributor
agreement is terminated.  Total inventories at the distributors at
October 31, 1997 amounted to approximately $700,000.  Management does
not believe it will incur a significant loss on the possible return of
these inventories, however, $65,000 has been accrued at October 31,
1997 for this contingency.



THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
ProForma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


(Unaudited)

On October 31, 1997, The Manitowoc Company, Inc. ( Manitowoc     
acquired certain net business assets of SerVend International, Inc.
and Affiliate for $71.7 million plus direct costs of the acquisition
of $1,419,000.  The acquisition was financed through Manitowoc's
existing credit facilities.

SerVend is one of the world's largest manufacturers of ice/beverage
dispensers and dispensing valves for the soft drink industry.  Its
customers include many of the major quick-service restaurant chains,
convenience stores, and soft-drink bottlers in the nation.  SerVend is
headquartered in Sellersburg, Indiana.  It has one manufacturing
facility located in Sellersburg and another in Portland, Oregon, and
employs about 300 persons.

SerVend's products are marketed under the SerVend and Flomatic brand
names.  It is Manitowoc's intention to preserve these brand
identities, as well as to keep SerVend'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 audited
historical financial statements of Manitowoc as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and the historical financial statements of
SerVend for the period ended October 31, 1997, as included herein, and
the year ended December 31, 1996.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements have been compiled as if Manitowoc acquired substantially
all of the net business assets of SerVend 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 purpose 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 SerVend been consummated as of the
beginning of 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
     acquisition.

     The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial
     statements have been compiled as if Manitowoc acquired certain
     net business assets of SerVend 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 SerVend and Manitowoc to
     reflect the use of cash and the net addition of debt used to
     finance the acquisition, additional interest expense associated
     with such debt, amortization of intangible assets resulting from
     application of the purchase method of accounting, the elimination
     of certain assets not acquired, and the decrease in income tax
     expense resulting from the loss of S-Corp. and Partnership income
     tax status, net of lower earnings due to amortization and
     interest expense.



II.    Pro Forma Adjustments

     a) To amortize the purchase accounting fair value adjustments
       related to intangible assets acquired, as if the acquisition
       occurred on January 1, 1996.
       
     b) To increase interest expense by applying Manitowoc's 1996
       borrowing rate of 6.6% to the increase in short-term
       borrowings acquired to finance the acquisition.
       
     c) To record the income tax benefit resulting from the loss of S- 
       Corp. and partnership income tax status, net of lower earnings
       due to amortization and interest expense.
       
     d) To record cash and short-term debt used to finance the  
       acquisition, net of certain SerVend debt paid in full as
       required by the purchase agreement.
       
     e) Gives effect to the purchase accounting fair value adjustments  
       for intangible assets, as if the acquisition occurred on
       September 30, 1997.
       
     f) To exclude certain assets not purchased by Manitowoc in    
       accordance with the purchase agreement.
       
     g) To eliminate SerVend's stockholders' equity.  
       
     h) To amortize the purchase accounting fair value adjustments to   
       intangible assets acquired, as if the acquisition occurred on
       January 1, 1997.
       
     i) To increase interest expense by applying Manitowoc's 1997
       borrowing rate of  6.2% to short-term borrowings acquired to
       finance the acquisition.
       
     j) To record the income tax benefit resulting from the loss of S-
       Corp. and partnership income tax status, net of lower earnings
       due to amortization and interest expense.
       
     k) Earnings per share is calculated using Manitowoc's historical
       weighted average shares outstanding of 17,267,035 shares for
       the year ended December 31, 1996 and the period ended
       September 30, 1997 (adjusted to reflect the three-for-two
       common stock split on June 30, 1997).
