                    NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                                   STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  have been
prepared by Oshkosh Truck  Corporation (the "Company")  without audit.  However,
the foregoing financial  statements contain all adjustments  (consisting only of
normal recurring  adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Company  management,
necessary to present  fairly the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements.
Certain  reclassifications  have  been made to the 1998  condensed  consolidated
financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  These  consolidated  financial  statements
should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1998 annual report to shareholders.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards  ("SFAS")No.  133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities,"  which is required to be adopted in years
beginning  after  June  15,  1999.  Because  of  the  Company's  minimal  use of
derivatives,  management  does  not  anticipate  that  the  adoption  of the new
Statement  will have a  significant  effect on the results of  operations or the
financial position of the Company.

In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures  about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related  Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes the standards for
the manner in which  public  enterprises  are required to report  financial  and
descriptive  information  about their  operating  segments.  In  addition,  this
statement  requires the annual  disclosure of  information  concerning  revenues
derived from the enterprise's products or services,  countries in which it earns
revenue or holds  assets,  and major  customers.  The statement is effective for
fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997.  The Company  expects to adopt
this  statement in the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1999.  The adoption of SFAS No.
131 will not affect the Company's results of operations,  financial  position or
cash flows, but will affect the disclosure of segment information.

In June 1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income"
which is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS No.
130 establishes the standards for reporting and displaying  comprehensive income
and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) as part of a full set
of financial  statements.  The Company  adopted SFAS No. 130 on October 1, 1998.
Comprehensive income has been included in the Company's  Consolidated  Statement
of Shareholders' Equity.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On  February  26,  1998,  the  Company  acquired  for cash all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of McNeilus Companies,  Inc.  ("McNeilus") and entered
into related non-compete and ancillary agreements for a net acquisition price of
$217.6  million,  including  acquisition  costs  and net of cash  acquired.  The
acquisition was financed from borrowings  under a Senior Credit Facility and the
issuance of Senior  Subordinated Notes.  McNeilus is a leading  manufacturer and
marketer of  rear-discharge  concrete mixers for the  construction  industry and
refuse truck bodies for the waste services industry in the United States.

The acquisition  was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting,  and
accordingly,  the  operating  results of McNeilus are included in the  Company's
consolidated  statements of income since the date of  acquisition.  The purchase
price,  including  acquisition  costs, was allocated based on the estimated fair
values  of the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  at the  date of the
acquisition.  Approximately $61.0 million of the purchase price was allocated to
the distribution network and other intangible assets, including  non-competition
agreements.  The excess of the purchase  price over the estimated  fair value of
net assets  acquired  amounted  to  approximately  $108.9  million  and has been
accounted for as goodwill.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has  outstanding  a Senior Credit  Facility and $100.0  million of 8
3/4% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due March 1, 2008.  The Senior Credit  Facility
consists of a six year $100.0  million  revolving  credit  facility  ("Revolving
Credit  Facility") and three term loan facilities ("Term Loan A", "Term Loan B",
and "Term Loan C").  The  outstanding  balances as of  December  31, 1998 on the
Revolving  Credit  Facility,  Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and Term Loan C are $5.3
million, $87.0 million, $42.5 million, and $42.5 million, respectively.

At December 31, 1998,  outstanding  borrowings of $5.3 million and $12.1 million
of outstanding  letters of credit reduced available capacity under the Revolving
Credit Facility to $82.6 million.

Substantially  all the  tangible  and  intangible  assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries  (including  the stock of  certain  subsidiaries)  are  pledged  as
collateral under the Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Credit Facility includes
customary  affirmative and negative covenants and requires mandatory prepayments
to the extent of "excess cash flows" as defined in the Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior  Subordinated  Notes  were  issued  pursuant  to an  Indenture  dated
February  26,  1998 (the  "Indenture"),  between  the  Company,  the  Subsidiary
Guarantors  (as  defined  below) and Firstar  Trust  Company,  as  trustee.  The
Indenture contains customary affirmative and negative covenants.  In addition to
the Company,  certain of the  Company's  subsidiaries,  fully,  unconditionally,
jointly and  severally  guarantee  the  Company's  obligations  under the Senior
Subordinated Notes.

6. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

On February 1, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a shareholder
rights plan and declared a rights dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right
("Right")  for each share of Common  Stock and 20/23 of one Right for each share
of Class A Common Stock  outstanding  on February 8, 1999, and provided that one
Right and one 20/23 Right  would be issued  with each share of Common  Stock and
Class  A  Common  Stock,   respectively,   thereafter  issued.  The  Rights  are
exercisable  only if a person or group  acquires 15% or more of the Common Stock
and  Class A Common  Stock or  announces  a tender  offer for 15% or more of the
Common Stock and Class A Common Stock. Each Right entitles the holder thereof to
purchase  from the 

                                        9

<PAGE>

Company one one-hundredth  share of the Company's Series A Junior  Participating
Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $145 per one  one-hundredth of a
share (subject to adjustment), or, upon the occurrence of certain events, Common
Stock or common stock of an acquiring  company having a market value  equivalent
to two times the exercise price.  Subject to certain conditions,  the Rights are
redeemable by the Board of Directors for $.01 per Right and are exchangeable for
shares of Common Stock.  The Board of Directors is also authorized to reduce the
15% threshold  referred to above to not less than 10%. The Rights have no voting
power and initially expire on February 1, 2009.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The  Company  is  engaged in  litigation  against  Super  Steel  Products  Corp.
("SSPC"),  the Company's former supplier of mixer systems for  forward-discharge
concrete mixer trucks under a long-term supply  contract.  SSPC sued the Company
in  state  court  claiming  the  Company  breached  the  contract.  The  Company
counterclaimed  for  repudiation  of the  contract.  On July  26,  1996,  a jury
returned a verdict for SSPC awarding damages  totaling $4.5 million.  On October
10,  1996,  the state court judge  overturned  the verdict  against the Company,
granted  judgment for the Company on its  counterclaim,  and ordered a new trial
for damages on the Company's  counterclaim.  Both SSPC and the Company  appealed
the state court judge's decision to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.  On December
8,  1998,  the  Wisconsin  Court of Appeals  ordered  the state  court  judge to
reinstate the jury verdict against the Company  awarding  damages  totaling $4.5
million plus  interest to SSPC.  The Company has  petitioned  for review of this
decision by the Wisconsin  Supreme  Court.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter
cannot be predicted at the present time.  During the quarter ended  December 31,
1998, the Company established a reserve relating to this matter.

As part of its routine business operations, the Company disposes of and recycles
or reclaims certain industrial waste materials,  chemicals and solvents at third
party  disposal  and  recycling  facilities  which are  licensed by  appropriate
governmental agencies. In some instances,  these facilities have been and may be
designated by the United States  Environmental  Protection  Agency  ("EPA") or a
state   environmental   agency   for   remediation.   Under  the   Comprehensive
Environmental Response,  Compensation,  and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and similar
state  laws,  each  potentially   responsible  party  ("PRP")  that  contributed
hazardous  substances  may  be  jointly  and  severally  liable  for  the  costs
associated  with cleaning up the site.  Typically,  PRPs  negotiate a resolution
with the EPA and/or the state environmental  agencies.  PRPs also negotiate with
each other regarding allocation of the cleanup cost.

As to one such Superfund site,  Pierce is one of 414 PRPs  participating  in the
costs  of  addressing  the site and has been  assigned  an  allocation  share of
approximately 0.04%. A remedial  investigation/  feasibility study was completed
in September  1998. A feasibility  study and modeling report are to be completed
in February 1999. As such, an estimate for the total cost of the  remediation of
this  site  has not been  made to date.  However,  based  on  estimates  and the
assigned allocations, the Company believes its liability at the site will not be
material and its share is adequately covered through reserves established by the
Company at December 31, 1998.  

                                       10

Actual  liability  could vary based on results of the study,  the  resources  of
other PRPs and the Company's final share of liability.

As to another such  Superfund  site,  Oshkosh Truck  Corporation  and its former
Trailer  Division  are  two  of  approximately  1,450  customers  of  one of the
potential PRPs that have received  notification of identification as such a PRP.
No further evidence  concerning the site, its environmental  issues or any other
information  has  been  furnished.  The  Company  believes  that it will be a de
minimis level PRP, if any liability is  established,  so that any such liability
will not be  material.  Actual  liability  could vary  based  upon  subsequently
available information.

The Company is addressing a regional trichloroethylene ("TCE") groundwater plume
on the south side of  Oshkosh,  Wisconsin.  The  Company  believes  there may be
multiple  sources  in the  area.  TCE was  detected  in the  groundwater  at the
Company's   North  Plant  facility  with  recent  testing  showing  the  highest
concentrations  in a monitoring  well located on the  upgradient  property line.
Because the investigation  process is still ongoing,  it is not possible for the
Company to estimate its long-term total liability  associated with this issue at
this time.  Also,  as part of the regional TCE  groundwater  investigation,  the
Company  conducted a groundwater  investigation  of a former landfill located on
Company   property.   The  landfill,   acquired  by  the  Company  in  1972,  is
approximately  2.0  acres  in size and is  believed  to have  been  used for the
disposal of household waste.  Based on the  investigation,  the Company does not
believe the landfill is one of the sources of the TCE contamination.  Based upon
current  knowledge,  the Company believes its liability  associated with the TCE
issue will not be material and believes  that it is adequately  covered  through
reserves  established  by the Company at December  31, 1998.  However,  this may
change as  investigations  proceed  by the  Company,  other  unrelated  property
owners, and the government.

The Company is subject to other environmental  matters and legal proceedings and
claims,  including  patent,  antitrust,  product  liability and state dealership
regulation  compliance  proceedings,  that  arise  in  the  ordinary  course  of
business.  Although the final  results of all such matters and claims  cannot be
predicted with certainty,  management  believes that the ultimate  resolution of
all such matters and claims,  after taking into account the liabilities  accrued
with respect to such matters and claims, will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's  financial  condition or results of operations.  Actual results
could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation.

The Company has guaranteed certain customers' obligations under deferred payment
contracts  and  lease  purchase  agreements  totaling  approximately  $1,000  at
December  31,  1998.  The  Company  is  also  contingently   liable  under  bid,
performance  and specialty bonds totaling  approximately  $97.9 million and open
standby letters of credit issued by the Company's bank in favor of third parties
totaling approximately $12.1 million at December 31, 1998.

8. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following tables present condensed  consolidating financial information for:
(a)  the  Company;  (b) on a  combined  basis,  the  guarantors  of  the  Senior

Subordinated  Notes (which include all of the  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of the
Company ("Subsidiary  Guarantors") other than McNeilus Financial Services, Inc.,
Oshkosh/McNeilus  Financial  Services,  Inc., and Nation's  Casualty  Insurance,
Inc.,   which  are  the  only   non-guarantor   subsidiaries   of  the   Company
("Non-Guarantor  Subsidiaries");  and (c) on a combined basis, the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries.   Condensed  consolidating  financial  information  has  not  been
presented  for any period prior to February  26, 1998  because no  Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries  existed prior to that date.  Separate financial  statements of the
Subsidiary  Guarantors  are not presented  because the  guarantors  are jointly,
severally,  and  unconditionally  liable under the  guarantees,  and the Company
believes  separate  financial  statements  and other  disclosures  regarding the
Subsidiary Guarantors are not material to investors.

The Company is comprised of Wisconsin and Florida  manufacturing  operations and
certain  corporate  management,  information  services  and  finance  functions.
Borrowings and related interest expense under the Senior Credit Facility and the
Senior Subordinated Notes are charged to the Company.  The Company has allocated
a portion of this  interest  expense  to Pierce  Manufacturing,  Inc.  through a
formal lending  arrangement.  There are presently no management fee arrangements
between the Company and its Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Item 2. Oshkosh Truck Corporation
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated  Financial  Condition
and Results of Operations and other  sections of this report contain  statements
that management believes are "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange  Act").  All statements other than statements
of  historical  fact  included in this report,  including,  without  limitation,
statements  regarding Oshkosh Truck  Corporation's  (the "Company" or "Oshkosh")
future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans
and  objectives  of  management  for  future  operations,   are  forward-looking
statements. In addition,  forward-looking statements generally can be identified
by the use of  forward-looking  terminology  such as  "may",  "will",  "expect",
"intend",   "estimates",   "anticipate",   "believe",   "should",   "plans",  or
"continue",   or  the  negative   thereof  or  variations   thereon  or  similar
terminology.  Although the Company believes the  expectations  reflected in such
forward-looking  statements are  reasonable,  it can give no assurance that such
expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ  materially  from the Company's  expectations  include,
without limitation,  the following:  (1) the consequences of financial leverage;
(2) the cyclical nature of the construction  industry;  (3) the risks related to
reductions or changes in government  expenditures;  (4) the uncertainty inherent
in  government  contracts;   (5)  the  challenges  of  integration  of  acquired
businesses;  (6)  competition;  (7)  disruptions  in  the  supply  of  parts  or
components from sole source suppliers and subcontractors;  (8) product liability
and  warranty  claims;  (9) labor  relations  and  market  conditions;  and (10)
unanticipated  events  relating to resolving  Year 2000 issues.  All  subsequent
written and oral  forward-looking  statements  attributable  to the Company,  or
persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these
cautionary statements.


Results of Operations

First Quarter 1999 Compared to 1998

Oshkosh Truck  Corporation  (the "Company" or "Oshkosh")  reported net income of
$3.9  million,  or $0.45 per  share,  on sales of $222.7  million  for the first
quarter of fiscal  1999,  compared to net income of $3.1  million,  or $0.37 per
share, on sales of $151.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

Sales of  commercial  and fire and  emergency  products  increased  in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999  compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1998 while sales
of defense  products  decreased.  Commercial and fire and emergency sales in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased $89.6 million,  or 110.5%, from the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $170.7 million.  An increase of $82.6 million in sales
of construction and refuse vehicles and a $7.0 million increase in sales of fire
and emergency apparatus  accounted 


                                       17


<PAGE>

for  substantially  all  of the  increase.  Sales  by  McNeilus  Companies  Inc.
("McNeilus"),  acquired on February 26, 1998,  accounted for all the increase in
sales of construction  and refuse  vehicles.  Sales of defense  products totaled
$52.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $18.7  million,
or 26.4%,  compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  Defense sales declined
due to the trend in lower heavy  military  truck  spending in the federal budget
and the completion of the  ISO-Compatible  Palletized  Flatrack contract in July
1998. Vehicle sales under the recently awarded U.S. Marine Corps Medium Tactical
Truck Replacement ("MTTR") contract will not begin until fiscal 2000.

Gross income in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 totaled $32.1 million, or 14.4%
of sales,  compared to $20.0 million, or 13.2% of sales, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998.  McNeilus  contributed  $13.4  million of gross income in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999.

Operating expenses totaled $19.3 million, or 8.7% of sales, in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared to $12.6 million, or 8.3% of sales, in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998.  Substantially  all the  increase in  operating  expenses in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 related to the  operations  of McNeilus,  including
$1.6 million in amortization expense, or 0.7% of sales.

Interest  expense  increased to $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to $2.5 million in the first  quarter of fiscal  1998.  The increase in
interest  expense is  primarily  due to  additional  borrowings  to finance  the
acquisition of McNeilus, net of debt repayment.

The  effective  income tax rate for combined  federal and state income taxes for
the first  quarter  of fiscal  1999 was  45.6%  compared  to 38.4% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998.  The effective  income tax rate for the first quarter of
fiscal  1999  was  impacted  by  non-deductible  goodwill  amortization  of $1.3
million.  The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 was
impacted  by  non-deductible  goodwill  amortization  of  $0.7  million  and the
reversal of $0.3 million of income tax provisions recognized in earlier periods.

Financial Condition

First Three Months of 1999

During the first three months of fiscal 1999,  cash  decreased by $0.4  million.
Cash  provided  from  operations  during  the  period of $4.9  million  was used
primarily to fund $0.1 million of debt  repayments,$0.7  reduction in borrowings
under the Company's revolving credit facility, capital additions of $1.9 million
and to pay dividends of $1.0 million.

First Three Months of 1998

During the first three months of fiscal 1998, cash decreased $23.0 million. Cash
of $23.0 million,  cash provided from  operations of $16.8 million and increases
in borrowings under the Company's  revolving credit facility of $7.8 million, or
a total of $47.6  million was used  primarily to fund the repayment of long-term
debt of $40.0  million,  the  acquisition  of Nova  Quintech  for $3.5  million,
capital additions of $1.7 million and dividends of $1.0 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary cash requirements are expected to include working capital,
interest and principal payments on indebtedness, capital expenditures, dividends
and potentially,  future acquisitions.  The primary sources of cash are expected
to be cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Company's Senior Credit
Facility.  Based upon current and  anticipated  future  operations,  the Company
believes that capital resources will be adequate to meet future working capital,
debt  service  and  other  capital  requirements  for  the  foreseeable  future,
including the effect of the recently  awarded U.S.  Marine Corps Medium Tactical
Truck Replacement ("MTTR") Contract.

Backlog

The Company's backlog as of December 31, 1998 was $474 million, compared to $378
million at December 31, 1997.  The backlog at December  31, 1998  includes  $116
million with respect to U.S. Government contracts (including $45 million for the
funded  portion  of  the  MTTR   contract),   $174  million  related  to  Pierce
Manufacturing  Inc.  ("Pierce"),  $107  million with respect to McNeilus and the
remainder  relates to other  commercial  and fire and  emergency  products.  The
backlog  excludes the unfunded  portion of the MTTR  contract  ($739  million at
December 31, 1998).  Approximately  10% of the Company's backlog orders will not
be filled  within fiscal 1999.  Most of the Company's  revenues are derived from
customer orders prior to commencing production.

Year 2000

General


     The Company  commenced a corporate-wide  Year 2000 project ("Project 2000")
in 1997 to address  issues with respect to the ability of computer  programs and
embedded computer chips to distinguish  between the years 1900 and 2000. Project
2000 is on schedule in all material  respects.  All of the Company's  principal,
enterprise  resource  planning  systems are  scheduled  to be Year 2000 ready by
March 31, 1999. Other information systems that are believed to pose lesser risks
in the event of Year 2000  failure are  scheduled  to be upgraded or replaced by
mid-1999.  Issues with respect to embedded  computer  chips will  continue to be
addressed  throughout 1999 based on a prioritization  of risks.  Tests have been
and will continue to be conducted with respect to information systems, telephone
systems,  manufacturing  equipment,  Company-produced  trucks and  equipment and
other  systems and  equipment  which might  exhibit Year 2000 issues in order to
determine the extent of any continuing corrective action required.

Project 2000

     Project  2000  is  addressing  four  principal   areas--Infrastructure  and
Applications Software;  Company-produced trucks and equipment;  Process Controls
and Instrumentation ("PC&I"); and third-party suppliers and customers ("External
Parties"). The project phases common to each area include: (1) development of an
inventory of Year 2000 risks; 

                                       19

<PAGE>

(2)  assignment of priorities to identified  risks;  (3) assessment of Year 2000
compliance  and impact of  noncompliance;  (4) tests to  determine  whether  any
upgrade or replacement is required; (5) upgrade or replacement of items that are
determined  not to be Year 2000  compliant  if the  impact of  noncompliance  is
material;  and  (6)  design  and  implementation  of  contingency  and  business
continuation plans for each organization and facility.

    At December 31, 1998, the initial  inventory and priority  assessment phases
for each area of  Project  2000 have been  completed.  Material  items are those
believed by the Company to have a risk involving the safety of  individuals,  or
that may cause damage to property or affect revenues and expenses.

    Infrastructure  and  Applications  Software--As  the Company  addresses  its
infrastructure and applications software, it tests and then upgrades or replaces
the affected hardware and systems software, as necessary.  The Company maintains
two  enterprise  resource  planning  ("ERP")  computer  systems  at its  Oshkosh
operations and one system each at its Pierce,  McNeilus and Florida  operations.
The Company installed an upgraded release of software (which is certified by the
software vendor as being Year 2000 ready) to its ERP system for truck operations
in Oshkosh in July 1998. Programming to upgrade the remaining Oshkosh ERP system
for its parts  operations  was  completed in December  1998.  As of December 31,
1998, Pierce was approximately  two-thirds complete with respect to a project to
replace all of its hardware and  business  systems with a new,  Year 2000 ready,
ERP system and related  hardware.  This project is scheduled  for  completion by
March 31, 1999.  McNeilus  installed  an upgraded  release to its ERP systems in
August and  September  1998.  Validation  testing at McNeilus to assure that the
upgrade is Year 2000 ready is scheduled  for  completion  by July 31, 1999.  The
Company is planning the  consolidation of its Florida  computer  operations into
Oshkosh's computer operations by September 30, 1999 and,  accordingly,  will not
upgrade the ERP systems currently in use at this facility.

    Other  infrastructure  and  applications  software,   including  engineering
systems,  are  believed  to  pose  lesser  risks  in  the  event  of  Year  2000
noncompliance  due to a  wider  range  of  less  disruptive  commercial  options
available  to cure  noncompliance.  The Company  plans to upgrade or replace all
such non-compliant systems by June 30, 1999.

    Company-Produced  Trucks and  Equipment--The  Company has communicated  with
suppliers that are critical to the manufacture of its products to verify whether
computer chips embedded in its trucks and equipment are Year 2000 ready, and has
issued Service  Bulletins to customers  with respect to the findings.  While the
Company has not  identified  any material  issues with respect to computer chips
embedded  into its  products,  investigations  as to such issues,  if any,  will
continue.  Nevertheless,  there  can be no  assurance  at  this  time  that  its
investigation  was  complete or that  material  warranty  and product  liability
issues  will not  develop  with  respect  to this  matter.  To the  extent  that
suppliers of the Company experience Year 2000 problems (or are unable to certify
that their products are Year 2000 compliant) and the Company is unable to source
alternate suppliers, changes to the Company's products may be necessary to avoid
warranty and liability,  both as to products  already in use, and as to products
to be shipped in the future.

                                       20

<PAGE>

    PC&I--The  Company  completed the  assessment of all PC&I embedded  computer
chips on February 5, 1999. Certain systems, such as telephone systems, have been
upgraded to be Year 2000 ready,  or are planned to be upgraded by June 30, 1999.
Current  indications are that the Company's  critical equipment and systems will
not require  material  upgrades  or  replacements.  The  testing  and  necessary
improvements of PC&I equipment will continue throughout 1999.

    External  Parties--The  Company is surveying  critical parts and all chassis
suppliers  to assess the Year 2000  readiness  of their  products  and  business
systems.  The Company's  largest  suppliers are large public  companies  and, as
such,  generally have  significant  projects  underway  similar to Project 2000.
There  can  be no  assurance  that  these  suppliers  or the  Company's  smaller
suppliers  will not have Year 2000  issues  with  their  processes  or  business
systems that ultimately  could have a material effect on the Company in spite of
such  projects.  Where  suppliers  are  deemed to pose  significant  risk to the
Company, alternate suppliers or contingency plans are being developed.

    The Company  does not  maintain  significant  computer  interfaces  with its
customers,  except with the DoD,  where  invoices  and  remittances  are sent by
electronic data interchange. The DoD is an extremely large organization. Certain
departments within the DoD, which interface with the Company,  have communicated
targets to be Year 2000 compliant as early as March 31, 1999.  However,  the DoD
has not provided the Company with any  assurances  that its systems will be Year
2000 compliant,  or whether DoD computer  interfaces with other U.S.  government
entities  will  be  Year  2000  ready.   Should  the  DoD  encounter  Year  2000
difficulties,  the Company's sales and cash flows could be materially  adversely
affected. There also can be no assurance that the Company's other customers will
not lose business or otherwise  encounter Year 2000 issues that could ultimately
affect the sales and earnings of the Company.

Costs    

    Based on the Company's  assessment to date and considering  known items, the
Company  does not expect  the total  cost  associated  with  required  hardware,
equipment and software modifications to become Year 2000 ready to be material to
the Company's financial position. The total estimated capital costs (which would
have been incurred  regardless of Year 2000 issues and which have the incidental
consequence of Year 2000 readiness) and period expenses of Project 2000 are $8.7
million and $0.6 million,  respectively, of which $5.0 million and $0.5 million,
respectively,  have been  expended as of December 31, 1998.  Approximately  $7.9
million of the  estimated  capital  costs relate to the  replacement  of all the
hardware and business  systems at Pierce,  which is scheduled for  completion by
March  31,  1999.  To date,  none of the  Company's  other  information  systems
projects have been delayed due to Project 2000.

Risks    

    Under Project 2000 (as in any project of this magnitude and scope), the risk
of underestimating the tasks and difficulties to be encountered, or in obtaining
necessary  personnel,  exist.  Risk also exists in that the failure 

                                       21

<PAGE>

to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a
failure of, certain  normal  business  activities or  operations.  Such failures
could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations,  cash
flows and financial  condition.  Due to the general uncertainty  inherent in the
Year  2000  problem,  resulting  in part from the  uncertainty  of the Year 2000
readiness  of  third-party  suppliers  and  customers,  the Company is unable to
determine at this time whether the  consequences of Year 2000 failures will have
a  material  impact  on the  Company's  results  of  operations,  cash  flows or
financial  condition.  Project  2000 is  expected  to  significantly  reduce the
Company's  level of uncertainty  about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular,
about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its material  External  Parties.
The Company believes that, with the installation of new or upgraded ERP business
systems  and  completion  of  Project  2000 as  scheduled,  the  possibility  of
significant interruptions of normal operations should be reduced. The Company is
in the  process  of  establishing  contingency  plans  in  the  event  that  any
unexpected  issues  arise  when the  Year  2000  arrives.  The  Company  expects
contingency planning to be complete by August 1, 1999.

Market Risk

     The Company has not  experienced  any  material  changes in its market risk
exposures since September 30, 1998.

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


The Company is engaged in litigation  against Super Steel  Products  Corporation
("SSPC"),  the Company's  former  supplier of mixer systems for front  discharge
concrete mixer trucks under a long-term supply  contract.  SSPC sued the Company
in state court  claiming  that the Company  breached the  contract.  The Company
counterclaimed for repudiation of contract.  On July 26, 1996, a jury returned a
verdict for SSPC awarding  damages  totaling  $4,485.  On October 10, 1996,  the
state court judge  overturned the verdict against the Company,  granted judgment
for the Company on its counterclaim,  and ordered a new trial for damages on the
Company's  counterclaim.  Both SSPC and the  Company  appealed  the state  court
judge's  decision to the Wisconsin  Court of Appeals.  On December 8, 1998,  the
Wisconsin  Court of Appeals  ordered the state court judge to reinstate the jury
verdict against the Company  awarding  damages  totaling $4,485 plus interest to
SSPC.  The Company has  petitioned  for review of this decision by the Wisconsin
Supreme  Court.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at the
present  time.   During  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1998,  the  Company
established a reserve relating to this matter.
