                            OSHKOSH TRUCK CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." 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. This
statement  requires that all elements of  comprehensive  income be reported in a
financial  statement  that is  displayed  with  the  same  prominence  as  other
financial  statements.  The  statement is effective  for fiscal years  beginning
after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 during the three month
period ended  December 31, 1998.  Comprehensive  income has been included in the
Company's  Consolidated  Statement  of  Shareholders'  Equity  and prior  period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to SFAS No. 130 requirements.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

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  (includes  certain  costs  paid
subsequent  to March 31, 1998) 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  $114.6  million  and has been
accounted for as goodwill.

Pro forma unaudited  condensed  consolidated  operating  results of the Company,
assuming McNeilus had been acquired as of October 1, 1997, are summarized below:

5. LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company has outstanding a Senior Credit Facility and $100.0 million of 8.75%
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 March 31, 1999 on the Revolving
Credit  Facility,  Term Loan A, Term Loan B, and Term Loan C are $19.3  million,
$87.0 million, $42.5 million, and $42.5 million, respectively.

At March 31, 1999,  outstanding borrowings of $19.3 million and $11.1 million of
outstanding  letters of credit  reduced  available  capacity under the Revolving
Credit Facility to $69.6 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 


                                       9
<PAGE>

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 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.  On April 6, 1999,  the  Company's  petition for
review of this decision by the Wisconsin  Supreme Court was denied. On April 12,
1999,  the Company  petitioned  the state  court  judge to act on the  Company's
previous  motion for a retrial.  The  Company  expects a decision on the retrial
motion shortly.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at the
present time. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company increased its
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 431 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 were  submitted on
April 30, 1999 to the state  environmental  agency.  A final  

                                       10
<PAGE>

acceptance of the remedial investigation/feasibility study will not be available
until mid-1999 with the remedial  design/remedial  action phase commencing after
early 2000. 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 March 31, 1999. Actual liability could vary based on completion 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 and Pierce are three of approximately 1,450 customers of one of
the 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 at March
31, 1999 through reserves established by the Company.  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 million at
March 31, 1999. The Company is also contingently  liable under bid,  performance
and  specialty  bonds  totaling  approximately  $106.6  million 

                                       11
<PAGE>

and open  standby  letters of credit  issued by the  Company's  bank in favor of
third parties totaling approximately $11.1 million at March 31, 1999.

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. 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.  The Company is charged interest by its wholly-owned
subsidiary,  McNeilus Companies, Inc. under a formal lending arrangement.  There
are  presently  no  management  fee  arrangements  between  the  Company and its
Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

"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  identifying   acquisition

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

Second Quarter 1999 Compared to 1998

The Company reported net income of $6.5 million, or $0.76 per share, on sales of
$298.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 1999,  compared to net income of
$2.4  million,  or $0.28 per share,  on sales of $217.8  million  for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998.

Sales of  commercial  and fire and  emergency  products  increased in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1998 while sales
of defense  products  decreased.  Commercial and fire and emergency sales in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased $97.7 million, or 62.5%, from the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 to $254.1 million.  An increase of $81.2 million in sales
of  construction  and refuse  vehicles and 

                                       21
<PAGE>


a $16.5 million increase in sales of fire and emergency  apparatus accounted for
the increase. Sales of construction and refuse vehicles increased largely due to
the acquisition of McNeilus Companies,  Inc.  ("McNeilus") on February 26, 1998.
Sales of fire  and  emergency  vehicles  rose due to  strong  market-demand  and
improved  product mix.  Sales of defense  products  totaled $44.4 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, a decrease of $17.0 million,  or 27.7%,  compared
to the second 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 second  quarter of fiscal 1999  totaled  $44.5  million,  or
14.9% of sales,  compared  to $27.5  million,  or 12.6% of sales,  in the second
quarter of fiscal 1998.  McNeilus  contributed  $21.5 million of gross income in
the second quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $4.8 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 1998.

Operating expenses  increased $11.3 million to $27.6 million,  or 9.3% of sales,
in the second  quarter of fiscal  1999  compared  to $16.3  million,  or 7.5% of
sales,   in  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.  The  Company   recorded  a
non-recurring  charge for litigation of $3.8 million,  or 1.3% of sales,  during
the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  Excluding the $3.8 million  charge,  all the
remaining  increase in operating  expenses in the second  quarter of fiscal 1999
related to the operations of McNeilus, including $1.2 million of amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles, or 0.4% of sales.

Interest expense  increased to $6.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999
compared to $4.7 million in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998.  The increase in
interest  expense is 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 second  quarter of fiscal  1999 was 42.2%  compared  to 41.8% for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998. The effective  income tax rate for the second quarter of
fiscal  1999  was  impacted  by  non-deductible  goodwill  amortization  of $1.5
million. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was
impacted  by  non-deductible  goodwill  amortization  of  $0.9  million  and the
reversal of $0.2 million of income tax provisions recognized in earlier periods.

Equity in earnings of  unconsolidated  partnership  increased to $0.4 million in
the second  quarter of fiscal  1999  compared  to a loss of $0.7  million in the
second  quarter of fiscal  1998.  The  second  quarter  of fiscal  1998  results
included only one month of operations following the formation of the partnership
on February  26, 1998 and also  includes a $0.9  million  after-tax  charge as a
result of  early-adoption  of a new  accounting  standard  related  to  start-up
activities of the partnership.

The  extraordinary  charge of $0.8 million in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998
relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs as a result of early  retirement
of debt.

First Six Months of 1999 Compared to 1998

The Company  reported net income of $10.5 million,  or $1.21 per share, on sales
of $521.2  million  for the first six  months of fiscal  1999,  compared  to net
income of $5.6 million,  or $0.65 per share,  on sales of $369.6 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1998.

Sales of commercial and fire and emergency  products  increased in the first six
months of fiscal  1999  compared  to the first six  months of fiscal  1998 while
sales of defense products decreased. Commercial and fire and emergency sales for
the first six months of fiscal 1999 increased $187.3 million, or 78.8%, from the
first six months of fiscal 1998 to $424.8 
                                       22
<PAGE>


million.  An  increase  of $163.8  million in sales of  construction  and refuse
vehicles and a $23.5 million  increase in sales of fire and emergency  apparatus
accounted for the increase.  Sales by McNeilus accounted for all of the increase
in  sales of  construction  and  refuse  vehicles.  Sales of fire and  emergency
vehicles  rose due to strong market  demand and improved  product mix.  Sales of
defense  products totaled $96.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 1999,
a  decrease  of $35.7  million,  or 27.0%,  compared  to the first six months 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.

Gross income in the first six months of fiscal 1999 totaled  $76.6  million,  or
14.7% of sales,  compared to $47.5 million,  or 12.9% of sales, in the first six
months of fiscal 1998.  McNeilus  contributed  $34.9 million of gross income for
the first six months of fiscal 1999  compared to $6.0  million for the first six
months of fiscal 1998.

Operating expenses  increased $17.9 million to $46.9 million,  or 9.0% of sales,
in the first six months of fiscal  1999  compared to $29.0  million,  or 7.8% of
sales, in the first six months of fiscal 1998.  Operating expenses for the first
six  months of fiscal  1999  include a $3.8  million  non-recurring  charge  for
litigation,  or 0.7% of sales.  Excluding  the $3.8 million  charge,  all of the
remaining  increase in operating expenses related to the operations of McNeilus,
including  a $2.8  million  increase  in  amortization  of  goodwill  and  other
intangibles, or 0.5% of sales.

Interest  expense  increased to $13.2  million in the first six months of fiscal
1999  compared  to $7.2  million  in the first six  months of fiscal  1998.  The
increase  in interest  expense is due to  additional  borrowings  to finance the
acquisition of McNeilus, net of debt repayment.

The effective tax rate for combined federal and state income taxes for the first
six months of fiscal  1999 was 43.5%  compared to 40.3% for the first six months
of fiscal 1998. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of fiscal
1999 was impacted by non-deductible  goodwill  amortization of $2.8 million. The
effective  income tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 1998 was  impacted
by non-deductible goodwill amortization of $1.5 million and the reversal of $0.5
million of income tax provisions recognized in earlier periods.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated  partnership  increased to $0.7 million for
the first six months of fiscal 1999  compared to a loss of $0.7  million for the
first six months of fiscal 1998.  The first six months of fiscal 1998 includes a
$0.9 million  after-tax  charge due to the  early-adoption  of a new  accounting
standard related to start-up  activities of the partnership.  Also,  results for
the first six months of fiscal 1998 include only one month of  operations of the
partnership following its formation on February 26, 1998.

The extraordinary  charge of $0.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 1998
is due to the previously discussed early retirement of debt.

Financial Condition

First Six Months of 1999

During the first six months of fiscal 1999, cash increased by $0.8 million. Cash
used in  operations  during the period of $3.8  million,  equipment and software
purchases  of $7.2  million and dividend  and  scheduled  debt  payments of $2.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively,  were funded by a $13.3 million increase
in borrowings under the Company's  revolving credit facility and $0.8 million of
proceeds from  exercise of Common Stock  options  under the Company's  Incentive
Stock Plan.

First Six Months of 1998

                                       23
<PAGE>


During the first six months of fiscal 1998, cash decreased  $12.7 million.  Cash
available at the  beginning of the period of $23.2  million,  cash provided from
operations  during the period of $29.0  million and a $1.8 million  reduction in
other long-term  assets, or a total of $54.0 million were used primarily to fund
$43.0  million of debt  repayments,  the  acquisition  of Nova Quintech for $3.5
million,  capital additions of $4.4 million and the payment of dividends of $2.1
million.  The Company  borrowed  approximately  $344.0  million in February 1998
($225.0 million under a multi-tranche senior term loan facility,  $100.0 million
of senior  subordinated  notes  and $19.0  million  under a new  $100.0  million
revolving credit facility).  Such borrowings were utilized to close the McNeilus
acquisition  ($249.5 million  purchase price and  non-competition  payments plus
$2.8 million in acquisition costs less cash acquired of $37.9 million, or $214.4
million,  plus restricted cash of $11.1  million),  refinance  $110.0 million of
outstanding indebtedness under the Company's previous credit facility and to pay
$8.5  million in debt  issuance  costs.  In March  1998,  the  Company  realized
approximately $5.5 million from the disposition of certain McNeilus assets.


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 fiscal 1999,  including  the
effect of the recently awarded MTTR contract.

Backlog

The  Company's  backlog as of March 31,  1999 was $572.2  million,  compared  to
$476.9 million at March 31, 1998. The backlog at March 31, 1999 includes  $185.4
million with respect to U.S. Government  contracts  (including $45.0 million for
the  funded  portion of the MTTR  contract),  $177.1  million  related to Pierce
Manufacturing Inc.  ("Pierce"),  $122.2 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
March 31, 1999).  Approximately  18% 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.

Reported  backlog  excludes  purchase  options  and  announced  orders for which
definitive  contracts have not been  executed.  Additionally,  backlog  excludes
unfunded  portions  of U.S.  Department  of  Defense  ("DoD")  long-term  family
contracts. Backlog information and comparisons thereof as of different dates may
not be accurate  indicators of future sales or the ratio of the Company's future
sales to the DoD versus its sales to other customers.

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.  As of May 4, 1999,  all of the
Company's  principal  enterprise  resource planning systems are Year 2000 ready.
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; (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;   (6)  testing  of  any  upgrades  or
replacements;  and (7) design and  implementation  of  contingency  and business
continuation plans for each organization and facility.

       As of March 31, 1999,  the initial four phases for each of the four areas
of Project 2000 and remediation of all principal  enterprise  resource  planning
systems 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 and McNeilus and operations. In May
1999, the Company  consolidated its Florida  computer  operations into Oshkosh's
Year 2000 ready computer  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.  In April  1999,  Pierce  replaced  all of its  hardware  and
business  systems with a new,  vendor-certified  Year 2000 ready, ERP system and
related hardware.  McNeilus  installed an upgraded release to its ERP systems in
August and  September  1998.  Validation  testing at McNeilus to assure that 

                                       25
<PAGE>


the upgrade is Year 2000 ready is scheduled for completion by July 31, 1999.

       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 is 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.

       PC&I--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 has surveyed 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  completed or 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
that they were Year 2000  compliant as of 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  activities 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 $8.8
million and $0.7 million,  respectively, of which $8.1 million and $0.6 million,
respectively,  have been  expended  as of March  31,  1999.  Approximately  $7.6
million of the  estimated  capital  costs relate to the  replacement  of all the
hardware and business  systems at Pierce,  which was completed in April 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), there
is risk of underestimating  the tasks and difficulties to be encountered,  or in
obtaining necessary personnel. Risk also exists in that the failure 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 assuming
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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

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

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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.  On April 6, 1999,  the  Company's  petition for
review of this decision by the Wisconsin  Supreme Court was denied. On April 12,
1999,  the Company  petitioned  the state  court  judge to act on the  Company's
previous  motion for a retrial.  The  Company  expects a decision on the retrial
motion shortly.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at the
present time. During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company increased its
reserve relating to this matter.
