ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

         NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO" or the "Company") is a holding company
which owns four principal operating subsidiaries:

         (a) NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP. The Company owns approximately 98%
of the outstanding capital stock of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc.
("Hyster-Yale"), which is the parent company of NACCO Materials Handling Group,
Inc. (For convenience of reference NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. and
Hyster-Yale hereinafter referred to as "NMHG"). NMHG markets two full lines of
forklift trucks and related service parts under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand
names. NMHG accounted for 69% and 55% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

         (b) HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX. The Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, Inc. ("Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex"),is one of the nation's leading manufacturers and marketers
of small electric kitchen appliances. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex accounted for
17% and 19% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1996.

         (c) NORTH AMERICAN COAL. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The
North American Coal Corporation, and its affiliated coal companies
(collectively, "North American Coal"), mine and market lignite for use primarily
as fuel for power generation by electric utilities. North American Coal also
provides dragline mining services for a limerock quarry near Miami, Florida.
North American Coal accounted for 11% and 31% of NACCO's revenues and operating
profits, respectively, in 1996.

         (d) KITCHEN COLLECTION. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The
Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("Kitchen Collection"), is a national specialty
retailer of kitchenware, small electric appliances and related accessories.
Kitchen Collection accounted for 3% and 2% of NACCO's revenues and operating
profits, respectively, in 1996.

         Additional information relating to financial and operating data on a
segment basis (including NACCO and Other, which reduced operating profits by 7%
in 1996) is set forth in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition, including Notes thereto, on pages 21 through
40 contained in Part II hereof and in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in Part IV hereof.

         NACCO was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 1986 in connection
with the formation of a holding company structure for a predecessor corporation
organized in 1913.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

         In April 1996, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex announced plans to build a
new facility in Mexico to increase manufacturing capacity for new and existing
products. Construction on the new facility located in the Satillo/Monterey area
began in May 1996 and the facility is scheduled to begin production during the
second quarter of 1997. The new facility is expected to allow Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex to compete more effectively with low-cost Chinese
manufacturers.

         On July 31, 1996, NMHG completed the acquisition of ORMIC, S.p.a.
("Ormic"), an Italian manufacturer of warehouse equipment, with approximately
$36 million in sales. In combination with the 1995 acquisition of DECA, S.r.l.
("DECA"), another Italian warehouse equipment company, this provides NMHG with a
strong base of product to serve the large European warehouse equipment market.

         On October 18, 1996, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Housewares
Holding Company, Inc. ("Houseware Holding"), purchased the 20 percent indirect
minority ownership interest in Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex from Glen Dimplex,
an unlimited corporation incorporated in the Republic of Ireland, for $33.6
million. The Shareholders Agreement between the Company and Glen Dimplex
provided Glen Dimplex with certain rights to dispose of it's interest in
Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, including the right, at its sole option, to offer
its interest to Housewares Holding at a purchase price determined pursuant to
the Shareholders Agreement. As a result of this purchase, the Company now owns
100 percent of Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex. This purchase was funded by
borrowings under the Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex credit facility, which was
increased to $160 million to accommodate the purchase.

         On November 15, 1996, the Company announced a 1.5 million share
repurchase program. The first portion of the repurchase program consisted of a
"Dutch auction" issuer tender offer to purchase up to 800,000 shares of Class A
common stock at a purchase price of not less than $43.50 and not greater than
$50.00 per share. On December 23, 1996, the Company repurchased 800,000 shares
at $50.00 per share, which represented approximately 11 percent of the
outstanding Class A common stock. As a second phase of the repurchase program,
the Company is further authorized to purchase an additional 700,000 shares of
Class A common stock pursuant to an open market purchase program during the next
two fiscal years. If fully implemented, the 



                                       2
<PAGE>   3


shares purchased through the repurchase program would constitute approximately
21 percent of the outstanding Class A common stock prior to the initiation of
the repurchase program.

         In December 1996, North American Coal was the successful bidder for two
long-term coal mining projects, the San Miguel Lignite Project in south Texas
and Phillips Coal Company's Lignite Project in Mississippi. North American Coal
will provide mining services to the San Miguel Electric Cooperative, under a
contract for 10 1/2 years, beginning in the third quarter of 1997. In addition,
North American Coal was chosen by Phillips Coal Company to be its 25% joint
venture partner to develop a new lignite mine. The joint venture agreement and
the 30 year lignite sales contract between the joint venture and the power
facility are currently being finalized. Commencement of the commercial operation
of the facility is scheduled for the year 2000.

         Effective March 4, 1997, Frank B. O'Brien resigned as Senior Vice
President - Corporate Development and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.


BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

A.       NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP

         NMHG is one of the leading worldwide designers, manufacturers and
marketers of forklift trucks which comprise the largest segment of the materials
handling equipment industry. NMHG accounted for 55% and 43% of NACCO's assets
and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while its operations
accounted for 69% and 55% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

THE INDUSTRY

         Forklift trucks are used in a wide variety of business applications
including manufacturing and warehousing. The materials handling industry,
especially in industrialized nations, is generally a mature industry, which has
historically been cyclical. Fluctuations in the rate of orders for forklift
trucks reflect the capital investment decisions of the customers, which in turn
depend upon the general level of economic activity in the various industries
served by such customers.

         Since 1991, the worldwide market for forklift trucks has gradually
increased to approximately 450,000 units. During this time, however, individual
geographic markets have been subject to cyclicality. The North American market
for forklift trucks peaked in 1995 and began a cyclical downturn in 1996. The
European market reversed a declining trend in 1994, peaked in 1995 and 
exhibited a slight decline in 1996. The Japanese market reversed a declining
trend in 1994 and has since exhibited modest growth. The market in Asia-Pacific
(outside of Japan) continued steady growth in 1996.

COMPANY OPERATIONS

         NMHG maintains product differentiation between Hyster(R) and Yale(R)
brands of forklift trucks and distributes its products through separate
worldwide dealer networks. Nevertheless, opportunities have been identified and
addressed to improve the company's results by integrating overlapping operations
and taking advantage of economies of scale in design, manufacturing and
purchasing. NMHG provides all design, manufacturing and administrative
functions. Products are marketed and sold through two separate dealer networks
which retain the Hyster and Yale identities. In Japan, NMHG has a 50% owned
joint venture with Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd. which is generally known as
Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Group ("S-N"). S-N performs certain design
activities and produces lift trucks and components which it markets in Japan and
which are exported for sale by NMHG and its affiliates in the U.S., Europe and
Asia-Pacific.

         NMHG continued to expand its presence in the European market through
the acquisition of Ormic, an Italian manufacturer of warehouse equipment. In
combination with the 1995 acquisition of DECA, another Italian warehouse
equipment company, NMHG can now provide a full line of Hyster and Yale warehouse
equipment for the European market.

PRODUCT LINES

         NMHG manufactures a wide range of forklift trucks under both the
Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand names. The principal categories of forklift trucks
include electric rider, electric narrow-aisle and electric motorized hand
forklift trucks primarily for indoor use and internal combustion engine ("ICE")
forklift trucks for indoor or outdoor use. Forklift truck sales accounted for
approximately 84%, 85% and 82% of NMHG's net sales in 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

         NMHG also derives significant revenues from the sale of service parts
for its products. Profit margins on service parts are greater than those on
forklift trucks. The large population of Hyster and Yale forklift trucks now in
service provides a market for service parts. In addition to parts for its own
forklift trucks, NMHG has a program in North America (termed UNISOURCE(TM)) and
in Europe (termed MULTIQUIP(TM)) designed to supply Hyster dealers with
replacement parts for most competing brands of forklift trucks. NMHG has a
similar program (termed PREMIER(TM)) for its Yale dealers in the Americas and
Europe. Accordingly, NMHG dealers can offer their mixed fleet customers a "one
stop" supply source. Certain of these parts are manufactured by and 



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

purchased from third party component makers. NMHG also manufactures some of
these parts through reverse-engineering of its competitors' parts. Service parts
accounted for approximately 16%, 15% and 18% of NMHG net sales in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. For further information on geographic regions see Note 16 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in
Part IV hereof.

COMPETITION

         The forklift truck industry is highly competitive. The worldwide
competitive structure of the industry is fragmented by product line and country;
however, the three largest manufacturers have a significantly greater market
position on a unit volume basis than the other manufacturers. The principal
methods of competition among forklift truck manufacturers are product
performance, price, service and distribution networks. The forklift truck
industry competes with alternative methods of materials handling, including
conveyor systems, automated guided vehicle systems and hand labor. Global
competition is also affected by a number of other factors, including currency
fluctuations, variations in labor costs and effective tax rates and the costs
related to compliance with applicable regulations, including export restraints,
antidumping provisions and environmental regulations.

         Although there is no official source for information on the subject,
NACCO believes that NMHG is the leading manufacturer of forklift trucks in the
world, based on number of lift trucks sold.

         NMHG's position is strongest in North America, where it believes it is
the leader in unit sales of electric rider and ICE forklift trucks and has a
significant share of unit sales of electric narrow-aisle and electric motorized
hand forklift trucks. Although the European market is fragmented and competitive
positions vary from country to country, NMHG believes that it has a significant
share of unit sales of electric rider and ICE forklift trucks in Western Europe.
Although NMHG's current market share in the Asia-Pacific and Japanese markets is
lower than in other geographic areas, these markets have been targeted for
additional market share growth. The Japanese market reversed a declining trend
in 1994 and has since exhibited modest growth. The market in Asia-Pacific
(outside of Japan) continued a steady growth in 1996.

TRADE RESTRICTIONS

A.       UNITED STATES

         Since June 1988, Japanese-built ICE forklift trucks imported into the
U.S., with lifting capacities between 2,000 and 15,000 pounds, including
finished and unfinished forklift trucks, chassis, frames and frames assembled
with one or more component parts, have been subject to an antidumping duty
order. Antidumping duty rates in effect through 1996 range from 4.48% to 56.81%
depending on manufacturer or importer. The antidumping duty rate applicable to
imports from S-N is 51.33%, and is likely to continue unchanged for the
foreseeable future, unless S-N and NMHG decide to participate in proceedings to
have it reduced. NMHG does not currently import for sale in the United States
any forklift trucks or components subject to the antidumping duty order. This
antidumping duty order will remain in effect until the Japanese manufacturers
and importers satisfy the U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Commerce
Department") that they have not individually sold merchandise subject to the
order in the United States below foreign market value for at least three
consecutive years, or unless the Commerce Department or the U.S. International
Trade Commission finds that changed circumstances exist sufficient to warrant
the revocation of the order. The legislation implementing the Uruguay round of
GATT negotiations passed in 1994 provides that the antidumping order will be
reviewed for possible revocation in 2000. All of NMHG's major Japanese
competitors have either built or acquired manufacturing or assembly facilities
in the United States. NMHG cannot predict with any certainty if there has been
or will be any negative effects to it resulting from the Japanese sourcing of
their forklift products in the United States.

B.       EUROPE

         From 1986 through 1994, Japanese forklift truck manufacturers were
subject to informal export restraints on Japanese-manufactured electric rider,
electric narrow-aisle and ICE forklift trucks shipped to Europe. These informal
restraints terminated in 1995. Several Japanese manufacturers have announced
either that they have established, or intend to establish, manufacturing or
assembly facilities within the European Community. The company also cannot
predict with any certainty if there has been or will be any negative effects to
NMHG resulting from the Japanese sourcing of their forklift products in Europe.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

         NMHG spent $23.3 million, $24.2 million and $23.2 million on product
design and development activities in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
Hyster(R) and Yale(R) products are differentiated for the specific needs of
their respective customer bases. NMHG continues to pursue opportunities to
improve product costs by engineering new Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand products
with component commonality.

         Certain product design and development activities with respect to ICE
forklift trucks and some components are performed in Japan by S-N. S-N spent
approximately $4.2 million, $3.8 million and $4.5 million on product design and
development in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

BACKLOG

         As of December 31, 1996, NMHG's backlog of unfilled orders for forklift
trucks was approximately 11,700 units, or $219 million, of which substantially
all is expected to be filled during fiscal 1997. This compares to the backlog
as of December 31, 1995 of approximately 21,200 units, or $385 million. A
softening of demand for forklift trucks in 1996 caused backlog levels to
decline as dealers sought to reduce inventory. Backlog represents unit orders
to NMHG's manufacturing plants from independent dealerships, retail customers
and contracts with the U.S. Government. Although these orders are believed to be
firm, such orders may be subject to cancellation or modification.

SOURCES

         NMHG has adopted a strategy of obtaining its raw materials and
principal components on a global basis from competitively priced sources. NMHG
is dependent on a limited number of suppliers for certain of its critical
components, including diesel and gasoline engines and cast-iron counterweights
used on certain forklift trucks. There would be a material adverse effect on
NMHG if it were unable to obtain all or a significant portion of such
components, or if the cost of such components was to increase significantly
under circumstances which prevented NMHG from passing on such increases to its
customers.

DISTRIBUTION

         The Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand products are distributed through
separate highly developed worldwide dealer networks. In addition, the company
has an internal sales force for each brand to sell directly to major customers.

         In Japan, forklift truck products are distributed by S-N. In 1995, Yale
reached agreement with Jungheinrich Aktiengesellschaft ("Jungheinrich"), a
German manufacturer of forklift trucks, to terminate Jungheinrich's distribution
of Yale brand products in Germany and Austria at the end of 1996. By mid-1997,
NMHG will cease to provide to Jungheinrich certain ICE and electric-powered
products for sale in other major European countries under the Jungheinrich brand
name. Yale is establishing a new distribution network in Germany and has begun
appointing German dealers. The company's management does not believe that the
termination of its relationship with Jungheinrich will have a materially adverse
effect on NMHG.

FINANCING OF SALES

         Hyster U.S. dealer and direct sales of Hyster products in the U.S. are
supported by leasing and financing services provided by Hyster Credit Company, a
division of AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation, pursuant to an operating
agreement which expires in 2000.

         NMHG is a 20% stockholder of Yale Financial Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation, which offers U.S. dealers of
Yale products wholesale and retail financing and leasing services for its
forklift trucks. Such retail financing and leasing services are also available
to Yale national account customers.

EMPLOYEES

         As of February 28, 1997, NMHG had approximately 6,350 employees.
Employees in the Danville, Illinois manufacturing and parts depot operations are
unionized, as are tool room employees located in Portland, Oregon. A three-year
contract for the Danville union employees expires in June 1997. A three-year
contract with the Portland tool room union expires in October 1997. Employees at
the facilities in Berea, Kentucky; Sulligent, Alabama; and Greenville and
Lenoir, North Carolina are not represented by unions.

         In Europe, shop employees in the Craigavon, Northern Ireland facility
are unionized. Employees in the Irvine, Scotland and Nijmegen, The Netherlands
facilities are not represented by unions. The employees in Nijmegen have
organized a works council, as required by Dutch law, which performs a
consultative role on employment matters.

         NMHG's management believes its current labor relations with both union
and non-union employees are generally satisfactory and that it will be able to
renew the domestic union contracts in 1997 on acceptable terms.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         NMHG's manufacturing facilities, in common with others in the industry,
are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the
environment, particularly with respect to disposal of plant waste. NMHG's
products are also subject to various industry and governmental standards. NMHG's
management believes that the impact of expenditures to comply with such
requirements will not have a material adverse effect on NMHG.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

         NMHG is not materially dependent upon patents or patent protection.
NMHG is the owner of the Hyster(R) trademark, which is currently registered in
approximately 55 countries. The Yale(R) trademark, which is used on a perpetual
royalty-free basis by NMHG in connection with the manufacture and sale of
forklift trucks and related components, is currently registered in approximately
150 countries. NMHG's management believes that its business is not dependent
upon any individual trademark registration or license, but that the Hyster(R)
and Yale(R) trademarks are material to its business.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

         For a description of net sales and other financial information by
geographic region, see footnote 16 to the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages F-22 through F-25 contained in Part IV hereof.

B.       HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX

GENERAL

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex believes that it is the largest full-line
manufacturer and marketer of small electric kitchen appliances in North America
based on market share of key product categories. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's
products are marketed primarily to retail merchants and wholesale distributors.
Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex accounted for 16% and 11% of NACCO's assets and
liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while its operations
accounted for 17% and 19% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

SALES AND MARKETING

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex manufactures and markets a wide range of
small electric kitchen appliances, including motor driven appliances such as
blenders, food processors, mixers and electric knives, and heat-generating
appliances such as toasters, irons, coffeemakers and toaster ovens. The company
markets its "better"/"best" categories under the Hamilton Beach(R) brand and
uses the Proctor-Silex(R) brand for the "good" and "better" categories. The
company markets its products primarily in North America, but also sells products
in South America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Sales are generated
predominantly by a network of inside sales employees to mass merchandisers,
national department stores, catalog showrooms, warehouse membership clubs,
variety store chains, drug store chains and other retail outlets. Principal
customers include Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Canadian Tire, Caldor, Montgomery
Ward, Zellers and SAM's Club. Sales promotional activities are primarily focused
on cooperative advertising.

         Because of the seasonal nature of the markets for small electric
appliances, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes that backlog is
not a meaningful indicator of performance and is not a significant indicator of
annual sales. Backlog of orders as of December 31, 1996 was approximately $8.4
million. This compares with the aggregate backlog as of December 31, 1995 of
approximately $4.6 million. This backlog represents customer orders; customer
orders may be canceled at any time prior to shipment.

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's warranty program to the consumer
consists generally of a limited warranty lasting for two years for electric
appliances. Under its warranty program, the company may repair or replace, at
its option, those products found to contain manufacturing defects.

         Revenues and operating profit for Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex are
traditionally greater in the second half of the year as sales of small electric
appliances increase significantly with the fall holiday selling season. Because
of the seasonality of purchases of its products, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex
incurs substantial short-term debt to finance inventories and accounts
receivable.

PRODUCT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex spent $3.7 million in 1996, $3.3 million
in 1995 and $2.7 million in 1994 on product design and development activities.

SOURCES

         The principal raw materials used to manufacture and distribute Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex's products are steel, aluminum, plastics and packaging
materials. The company's management believes that adequate quantities of raw
materials are available from various suppliers.

COMPETITION

         The small electric kitchen appliance industry is highly competitive.
Based on publicly available information about the industry, Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes it is the largest full-line
manufacturer and marketer of small kitchen appliances in North America based on
key product categories.

         As retailers generally purchase a limited selection of small electric
appliances, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex competes with other suppliers for

efforts on retailers rather than consumers. In 1996, the company also initiated
consumer advertising for the Hamilton Beach brand. The company's management
believes that the principal areas of competition with respect to its products
are quality, price, product design, product features, merchandising, promotion
and warranty. Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's management believes that it is
competitive in all of these areas.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex, in common with other manufacturers, is
subject to numerous Federal and state health, safety and environmental
regulations. The company's management believes that the impact of expenditures
to comply with such laws will not have a material adverse effect on Hamilton
Beach-Procter-Silex. The company's products are subject to testing or regulation
by Underwriters' Laboratories, the Canadian Standards Association and various
entities in foreign countries which review product design.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHTS, AND LICENSES

         Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex holds patents and trademarks registered in
the United States and foreign countries for various products. The company's
management believes that its business is not dependent upon any individual
patent, trademark, copyright or license, but that the Hamilton Beach(R) and
Proctor-Silex(R) trademarks are material to its business.

EMPLOYEES

         As of February 28, 1997, Hamilton Beach-Procter-Silex's work force
consisted of approximately 3,700 employees, none of which is currently
represented by unions except for approximately 20 hourly employees at the
Picton, Ontario facility. The Picton, Ontario employees are represented by an
employee association which performs a consultative role on employment matters.

         On January 17, 1997, a collective bargaining agreement was executed for
the Saltillo manufacturing facility currently under construction. The company
expects to hire approximately 300 employees within the next six months who will
be subject to the terms of this agreement

C.       NORTH AMERICAN COAL

GENERAL

         North American Coal is engaged in the mining and marketing of lignite
for use primarily as fuel for power generation by electric utilities.
Substantially all of the sales by North American Coal are made through wholly
owned project mining subsidiaries pursuant to long-term, cost plus a profit per
ton contracts. The utility customers have arranged and guaranteed the financing
of the development and operation of the project mining subsidiaries. There is no
recourse to NACCO or North American Coal for the financing of these subsidiary
mines. North American Coal also provides dragline mining services for a limerock
quarry near Miami, Florida. At December 31, 1996, North American Coal's
operating mines consisted of mines where the reserves were acquired and
developed by North American Coal, except for the South Hallsville No. 1 Mine
where reserves are owned by the customer. North American Coal also earns royalty
income from the lease of various coal and gas properties. For further
information as to the financing of the project mining subsidiaries, see Note 8
to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F-15 and F-16 contained in
Part IV hereof. Project mining subsidiaries accounted for 22% and 30% of NACCO's
assets and liabilities, respectively, as of December 31, 1996, while their
operations accounted for 11% and 31% of NACCO's revenues and operating profits,
respectively, in 1996.

SALES, MARKETING AND OPERATIONS

         The principal customers of North American Coal are electric utilities
and a synfuels plant. In 1996, sales to one customer, which supplies coal to
four facilities, accounted for 57% of North American Coal's revenues compared
with 46% and 45% in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The distribution of sales in
the last five years has been as follows:

         The contracts under which the project mining subsidiaries were
organized provide that, under certain conditions of default, the customer(s)
involved may elect to acquire the assets (subject to the liabilities) or the
capital stock of the subsidiary, for an amount effectively equal to book value.
In one case, the customer may elect to acquire the stock of the subsidiary after
a specified period of time without reference to default, in exchange for certain
payments on coal thereafter mined. North American Coal does not know of any
conditions of default that currently exist.

         The location, mine type, reserve data, ore characteristics, customer,
sales tonnage and contract expiration date for the mines operated by North
American Coal in 1996 were as follows:

(1) The projected extraction loss is approximately ten percent (10%) of the
proven and probable reserves, except with respect to the reserves for the
Eastern Undeveloped Mining Operations, in which case the extraction loss is 
approximately thirty percent (30%) of the proven and probable reserves.

(2) The contracts for these mines require the customer to cover the cost of the
ongoing replacement and upkeep of the plant and equipment of the mine.

(3) Although the term of the existing coal sales agreement terminates in 2007,
the term may be extended for six (6) additional periods of five years, or until
2037, at the option of The Coteau Properties Company.

(4) The reserves of the South Hallsville No. 1 Mine are owned and controlled by
the customer and, therefore, have not been listed in the table.

(5) Joint venture with Phillips Coal Company.

(6) These amounts represent the total (100%) of the joint venture reserves.

(7) These amounts represent the total (100%) of the 1996 joint venture tonnage.

         Under terms of a lignite mining agreement entered into in 1985 with
Houston Lighting & Power Company ("HL&P") (as successor to Utility Fuels, Inc.),
a subsidiary of Houston Industries Incorporated, North American Coal was
retained to design, develop, construct and operate the proposed Trinity Mine in
the Malakoff-Cayuga reserves near Malakoff, Texas. The Trinity Mine was expected
to produce from 4.5 to 6.5 million tons of lignite annually. After several
delays, however, the proposed Malakoff Generating Station was canceled in July
1994. North American Coal and its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Coal
Royalty Company ("Royalty Company"), have received certain management fees,
minimum royalties and other payments in connection with the future development
of the Trinity Mine project. In December 1992 the Lignite Lease and Sublease
Agreement under which the minimum royalties were received was amended. The
parties agreed that, in light of the delayed development of this mining project,
effective January 1, 1993 HL&P was no longer obligated to pay minimum royalties
to Royalty Company. Termination of this obligation reduces North American Coal's
annual net income approximately $2.4 million, after tax. Under the original
agreement, these minimum royalty payments would have terminated at the end of
2005.

         Under the lignite mining agreement with HL&P, North American Coal had
been receiving annual management fees. HL&P accelerated payment of the final
management fee of $2.6 million, after-tax, into 1995. In December 1995, HL&P
also terminated the lignite mining agreement and North American Coal will no
longer receive such management fees. Termination of this obligation reduces
North American Coal's annual net income approximately $5.3 million, after-tax
compared with 1995 levels.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         North American Coal, in common with other coal producers, continues to
be subject to Federal and state health, safety and environmental regulations.
The 1997 expenditures which will be required for compliance with the provisions
of governmental regulations, including mined land reclamation and other air and
water pollution abatement requirements, are estimated at $1.8 million for
certain closed mines and are included in the caption "Self-Insurance Reserves
and Other" in NACCO's Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The active operations are required to make certain additional capital
expenditures to comply with such governmental regulations, which expenditures
will be recovered under the terms of the coal sales agreements with the utility
customers.

         North American Coal's management believes that the Clean Air Act
Amendments, which became effective in 1990, will not have a material adverse
effect on its current operations, because substantially all of the power
generating facilities operated or supplied by North American Coal's customers
meet or exceed the requirements of the Clean Air Act.

         The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued Order 636,
effective in May 1992, which requires gas pipeline companies to separate or
"unbundle" their gas sales and gas transportation functions. Effectively, order
636 forced pipelines to abandon their traditional merchant function meaning that
the nation's natural gas pipeline companies, including the four which purchase
gas produced by the Great Plains Synfuels Plant ("the Synfuels Plant"), which is
supplied by the company's Coteau mining subsidiary, have much less need for gas
supply under contract and are actively seeking to restructure or terminate many
supply contracts. In 1994, the four pipeline companies that purchase gas from
the Synfuels Plant each reached a tentative settlement agreement with the
plant's operator, Dakota Gasification Company ("DGC"), and the U.S. Department
of Energy ("DOE") over the dispute regarding the pipeline companies' gas
purchase contracts. The FERC approved these settlement agreements by order of
December 18, 1996. No requests for a rehearing were filed meaning the order
became final and unappealable. The settlements resolve all pricing disputes for
past periods and establishes a new pricing formula for future gas sales.

COMPETITION

         The coal industry competes with other sources of energy, particularly
oil, gas, hydro-electric power and nuclear power. Among the factors that affect
competition are the price and availability of oil and natural gas, environmental
considerations, the time and expenditures required to develop new energy
sources, the cost of transportation, the cost of compliance with governmental
regulation of operations, the impact of Federal and State energy policies and
the current trend toward deregulation of energy markets. The ability of North
American Coal to market and develop its reserves will depend upon the
interaction of these factors.

         There is no official source of information on the subject, but North
American Coal believes that it is the eighth largest commercial coal producer in
the United States.

EMPLOYEES

         As of February 28, 1997, North American Coal had approximately 910
employees.

D.       KITCHEN COLLECTION

         Kitchen Collection is a national specialty retailer of kitchenware,
small electric appliances and related accessories which operated 144 retail
stores as of February 28, 1997. Stores are located primarily in factory outlet
complexes that feature merchandise of highly recognizable name-brand
manufacturers. Kitchen Collection's product mix includes a broad line of
appliances from leading manufacturers, including Hamilton Beach(R) and
Proctor-Silex(R).

         As the outlet channel of the retail industry is approaching maturity,
the management of Kitchen Collection continues to explore alternate areas of
growth and diversification. Kitchen Collection has tested several store formats
both within the outlet industry and the more traditional retail environments.
Many of these formats have failed to meet the company's rigorous financial
performance standards. Kitchen Collection continues to explore alternate
channels of distribution, including distribution through the Internet.

         Kitchen Collection accounted for 1% of NACCO's assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 1996, while its operations accounted for 3% and 2% of NACCO's
revenues and operating profits, respectively, in 1996.

C.       NORTH AMERICAN COAL

        North American Coal's proven and probable coal reserves and deposits
(owned in fee or held under leases which generally remain in effect until
exhaustion of the reserves if mining is in progress) are estimated at
approximately 2.1 billion tons, approximately 82% of which are lignite deposits
in North Dakota. Reserves are estimates of quantities of coal, made by North
American's geological and engineering staff, that are considered mineable in
the future using existing operating methods. Developed reserves are those which
have been allocated to mines which are in operation; all other reserves are
classified as undeveloped. Information concerning mine type, reserve data and
ore characteristics for North American Coal's properties are set forth on the   
table on page 9 under "Item 1. Business -- C. North American Coal -- Sales,

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share, Unit, Store
and Percentage Data)

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Income before extraordinary items for 1996 was $50.6 million, or $5.67 per
share, compared with income before extraordinary items of $65.5 million, or
$7.31 per share, in 1995 and $45.3 million, or $5.06 per share, in 1994. In
1995, an extraordinary gain of $32.3 million, net-of-tax, or $3.61 per share,
was recognized as a result of an adjustment to the obligation to the United Mine
Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund. Extraordinary charges of $3.4 million
and $3.2 million net-of-tax, or $0.38 per share, and $0.36 per share,
respectively, were recognized in 1995 and 1994 to reflect debt retirement and
debt restructuring costs at NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. These
extraordinary items are discussed in more detail in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements on page F-11 and in this discussion and analysis on page 30
and page 37. Net income was $50.6 million, or $5.67 per share, in 1996, $94.4
million, or $10.54 per share, in 1995 and $42.1 million, or $4.70 per share, in
1994.

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in consolidated
revenues, operating profit and net income for 1996 compared with 1995:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES--Continued
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share, Unit, Store and Percentage Data)

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION

NACoal mines and markets lignite for use primarily as fuel for power generation
by electric utilities. The lignite is surface-mined in North Dakota, Texas and
Louisiana. Total coal reserves approximate 2.1 billion tons, with 1.2 billion
tons committed to electric utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts.

In November 1995, NACoal began providing dragline mining services ("Florida
dragline operations") for a limerock quarry near Miami, Florida. The operating
results for the Florida dragline operations are included in other mining
operations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NACoal's three project mining subsidiaries (Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine) mine
lignite for utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts at a price based
on actual cost plus an agreed pretax profit per ton. Due to the cost-plus nature
of these contracts, revenues and operating profits are impacted by increases and
decreases in operating costs, as well as by tons sold. Net income of these
project mines, however, is not significantly affected by changes in such
operating costs, which include costs of operations, interest expense and certain
other items. Because of the nature of the contracts at these mines, operating
results are best analyzed in terms of income before taxes and net income.

Lignite tons sold by NACoal's operating mines were as follows for the year 
ended December 31:

The favorable impact from tonnage volume at the project mines was due to
increased volume at Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine as a result of increased customer
demand. Because actual results exceeded benchmarks established in the long-term
sales contracts, NACoal received profit incentive payments in the fourth quarter
of 1996. These payments contributed to the increase in agreed profit per ton. In
addition, the agreed profit per ton increased at Coteau due to an annual
escalation of profit per ton as provided for in the long-term contract.

The increase in tonnage volume and operating costs from other mining operations
resulted from the Florida dragline's full year of operations in 1996 versus two
months in 1995.

The receipt in the second quarter of 1996 of the final escrow payment from the
sale of a previously owned eastern U.S. underground mining property resulted in
an increase in income before taxes. The decrease in royalties and other, net was
due to reduced activity at former coal properties. The decrease in management
fees results from the elimination of the management fee after the accelerated
receipt of the final management fee in 1995 under a contract mining agreement
between NACoal and a public utility company.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

</TABLE>

The level of customer fuel requirements produced lower demand at Coteau and
Falkirk and higher demand at Sabine, resulting in a slight reduction in overall
volume at the project mines in 1995. The favorable agreed profit per ton
variance at the project mines was the result of the annual escalation in the
agreed profit per ton as provided for in the long-term contracts with each
mine's customer.

Increased sales of base tons at Red River, which yield a higher price as
specified in the supply contract, resulted in a favorable mix variance at the
other mining operations. In addition, Red River signed a new agreement with its
customer in 1995 that extends the contract term to 2010 in exchange for lower
per-ton sales prices. This resulted in the unfavorable price variance from other
mining operations.

The increase in royalties and other income, net relates to the accelerated
receipt of annual management fees under a contract mining agreement between
NACoal and a public utility company. The utility company accelerated the final
annual management fee payment of $2.6 million, after-tax, from 1996 into 1995.

</TABLE>

The increase in other-net from other mining operations primarily relates to the
receipt of the final escrow payment from the 1988 sale of a previously owned
eastern underground mining property. The increase in the 1996 effective tax rate
is due to the receipt of a nonrecurring tax refund in 1995.

1997 OUTLOOK

In December 1996, NACoal was the successful bidder for two long-term coal mining
projects, the San Miguel Lignite Project in south Texas and Phillips Coal
Company's Lignite Project in Mississippi. NACoal will provide mining services to
San Miguel Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s lignite mine in Texas under a contract
for 10 1/2 years. NACoal expects to deliver approximately 1.8 million tons
during the second half of 1997 and approximately 3.0 million tons annually
through 2007. It is anticipated that NACoal's results of operations will begin
to be positively impacted during the second half of 1997. Also in December 1996,
NACoal was selected by Phillips Coal Company to be its 25% joint venture partner
to develop a new lignite mine in Mississippi. This mine will supply a
440-megawatt power generation facility to be constructed and operated by CRSS,
Inc. It is anticipated that the NACoal and Phillips Coal Company joint venture
will deliver approximately 3.0 million tons of lignite annually to CRSS's
facility. Mine development is in progress, and commercial operation of CRSS's
facility is scheduled for the year 2000. NACoal and Phillips Coal Company are in
the process of finalizing their joint venture agreement and also a lignite sales
contract between the joint venture and CRSS, which will run for 30 years. Costs
to develop the mine will be deferred until the commencement of commercial
operations.

NACoal's other lignite mines and the Florida dragline operations are expected to
produce about the same number of total tons in 1997 as in 1996, as customer
requirements appear level with the previous year. Sales contracts with customers
at Coteau, Falkirk, Sabine and Red River extend to 2037, 2020, 2020 and 2010,
respectively.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - Continued

NACoal is involved in ongoing initiatives to obtain additional mining contracts.
However, the successful achievement of these contracts is uncertain at this
time. Costs to pursue these contracts are not expected to be material in 1997.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NACoal has in place a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The expiration
date of this facility (which was extended to September 2001 during 1996) may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
NACoal and the bank group. NACoal had $21.0 million of its revolving credit
facility available at December 31, 1996. The outstanding balance of $29.0
million was loaned to the parent company to finance the stock repurchase
program, as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements on
page F-18 of this annual report.

The financing of the project mining subsidiaries, which is guaranteed by the
utility customers, consists of long-term equipment leases, notes payable and
non-interest-bearing advances from customers. The obligations of the project
mining subsidiaries do not impact the short- or long-term liquidity of the
company and are without recourse to NACCO or NACoal. These arrangements allow
the project mining subsidiaries to pay dividends in amounts equal to their
retained earnings.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment by the project mining
subsidiaries and other mining operations were $19.5 million in 1996 and $22.5
million in 1995, and are anticipated to be approximately $31.4 million in 1997.
These expenditures primarily relate to the development, establishment and
improvement of the project mining subsidiaries' mines and are financed or
guaranteed by the utility customers. The increase in 1997 expenditures primarily
relates to costs incurred to build infrastructure, as two of the mines move into
new phases of mine development. In addition, capital investments of
approximately $26.0 million necessary to establish and develop the mine for the
San Miguel Lignite Project are expected to be financed with operating lease
agreements in 1997.

</TABLE>


During 1996, the market size of forklift trucks declined approximately 3 percent
on a worldwide basis. Nevertheless, NMHG obtained a slightly improved market
share in 1996 over 1995. Unit volume in the Americas declined 5 percent to
47,628 units due to the decline in market size and dealer inventory reductions.
This decline was partially offset by increased volume in Europe of 12 percent to
18,702 units and in Asia-Pacific of 7 percent to 3,059 units. Late 1995 and
mid-1996 acquisitions of European warehouse equipment businesses principally
contributed to the unit growth in Europe. Product sales mix favorably impacted
revenues due to increased sales of higher value product. Intensified pricing
pressures in the Americas due to decreased industry demand, slightly offset by
price increases implemented in Europe, caused the unfavorable pricing impact.
The improvement in service parts, concentrated in the Americas, resulted from
NMHG's increasing lift truck population.

Operating profit was positively affected by currency due to the strength of the
U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen, as costs of Japanese sourced goods
decreased. Manufacturing costs increased due to lower plant utilization and
labor inefficiencies resulting from the decline in market demand. In addition,
provisions to increase warranty and inventory reserves contributed to the
increase in manufacturing costs. Other operating expenses increased due to
higher marketing costs expended to generate sales volume and due to operating
expenses of recently acquired businesses.

</TABLE>

Unit volumes during 1995 increased 20 percent to 49,953 units in the Americas,
37 percent to 16,701 units in Europe and 54 percent to 2,859 units in
Asia-Pacific when compared with 1994. The increased volumes resulted from growth
in both market size and market share. The price increases announced in mid-1994
favorably impacted pricing during all of 1995, while the price increases
announced in the spring of 1995 reached their full impact in the fourth quarter.
These price increases were enacted to offset the raw material cost increases and
currency impacts discussed below. The unfavorable sales mix resulted from a
shift to certain lower-margin markets in Europe and lower-margin products in
both the Americas and Europe. The strong markets in both the Americas and
Europe, along with price increases in the Americas, resulted in improved results
from sales of service parts.

The favorable impact from currency on revenues was due to the strength of
European currencies relative to the dollar. This favorable impact was offset by
the strength of the yen relative to the dollar, resulting in an unfavorable
impact on operating profit, particularly in the first nine months of 1995. The
strong yen increased the cost of purchases sourced from Japan. During 1995, NMHG
acquired DECA S.r.l., a manufacturer of European warehouse equipment located in
Italy. DECA's contribution to 1995 operating results is shown separately in the
above table.

Increased raw materials prices and manufacturing inefficiencies caused by vendor
parts shortages, the training of new employees and capacity constraints resulted
in higher manufacturing costs in 1995. Increases in new product introduction and
marketing programs, administrative costs and service parts distribution costs
resulted in higher other operating expenses.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Below is a detail of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31:

Effective tax rate             42.5%              36.8%              47.7%
</TABLE>

The debt restructurings carried out in 1994 through 1995 and equity infusions in
1994 reduced the level of high-cost debt. This resulted in lower overall
effective interest rates that reduced interest expense in 1996 and 1995 compared
with 1994.

Other-net consists primarily of equity in the earnings of Sumitomo-NACCO
("S-N"), a 50 percent-owned joint venture, certain bank service fees and gains
and losses on the sale of assets. In 1996, other-net included income of $1.5
million from S-N, compared with income of $2.2 million in 1995 and $0.5 million
in 1994. The improved results at S-N in 1996 and 1995 as compared to 1994 were
due to increasing sales volumes to NMHG and continuing manufacturing cost
reductions. In 1994, other-net also included $3.2 million of employment grant
income related to additional hiring at the Craigavon, Northern Ireland,
facility.

In 1995, NMHG reached agreements with various tax authorities resulting in
non-recurring tax benefits which lowered the effective tax rate.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES

The extraordinary charges recognized in 1995 and 1994 relate to the write-off of
premiums and unamortized financing fees. The 1995 extraordinary charge includes
a $1.3 million charge in the first quarter for unamortized financing fees when
NMHG's former revolving credit facility and senior term loan were replaced by a
new long-term revolving credit facility. The retirement of $78.5 million and
$70.0 million face-value Hyster-Yale 12 3/8% debentures in 1995 and 1994,
respectively, resulted in charges of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1995
and $3.2 million in 1994 due to the write-off of premiums and unamortized
financing fees. These retirements were achieved using internally generated funds
of NMHG and equity infusions from existing stockholders.

BACKLOG

NMHG's backlog of orders at December 31, 1996 was approximately 11,700 forklift
truck units, compared with 21,200 units and 24,600 units at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively. This decrease reflects the impact of the decrease in
market size, as discussed above.

1997 OUTLOOK

The forklift truck industry has historically been cyclical, with industry demand
fluctuating with the economic conditions in the various geographic markets in
which the industry's customers operate. Based on external economic forecasts and
recent factory order levels, management expects 1997 demand to decline in North
America, while other world markets are expected to remain relatively stable. On
a worldwide basis, the company anticipates an overall decline in demand for lift
trucks. Consequently, NMHG anticipates a decrease in unit volume in 1997 as
compared to 1996. Furthermore, the North American market decline may create
pricing pressures and reduced plant utilization which could result in lower
profitability.

In 1997, NMHG will continue to strive for increased market share by focusing on
certain key markets in Europe and Asia-Pacific. To moderate the effect from
added pressure on margins that may result from a market decline, NMHG plans to
focus on programs designed to enhance cost efficiency. One such program is
Demand Flow Technology, which focuses on improving the manufacturing process.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NMHG had available $120.0 million of its $350.0 million revolving credit
facility ("NMHG Facility") at December 31, 1996. The company entered into the
NMHG Facility in 1995, to replace its former bank agreement and to refinance the
majority of its previously held long-term debt. The expiration date of the NMHG
Facility (which was extended to June 2001 during 1996) may be extended, on an
annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of NMHG and the
bank group. In addition, the NMHG Facility has performance-based pricing which
sets interest rates based upon achievement of certain financial performance
targets. NMHG has separate facilities totaling $35.7 million, of which $27.9
million was available at December 31, 1996. The company believes it can meet its
current and long-term commitments and operating needs from operating cash flow
and funds available under credit agreements.

The company has agreements which allow for the sale, without recourse, of
undivided interests in certain revolving pools of its trade accounts receivable.
The maximum allowable amount of receivables to be sold was $75.6 million at
December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, $56.3 million of NMHG's trade
receivables were sold and reflected as a reduction of receivables, net in the
consolidated balance sheet.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $42.3 million in 1996 and
$39.4 million in 1995, and are anticipated to be approximately $35.0 million in
1997. Planned expenditures relate to investments in manufacturing facilities,
worldwide information systems and tooling for new products. Capital for these
expenditures has been and is expected to be provided primarily by internally
generated funds and short-term borrowings.

HAMILTON BEACH-PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.

HB-PS, wholly owned by NACCO, is a leading manufacturer of small electric
appliances. The housewares business is seasonal. A majority of revenues and
operating profit occurs in the second half of the year, when sales of small
electric appliances increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season.

On October 18, 1996, NACCO acquired the remaining 20 percent minority ownership
interest in HB-PS for $33.6 million. As a result, NACCO now owns 100 percent of
HB-PS, which was formed in 1990 when Proctor-Silex, Inc., which had been wholly
owned by NACCO, was combined with Hamilton Beach Inc., which had been wholly
owned by an Irish company. The 1996 acquisition of the minority interest was
financed using borrowings under HB-PS's existing revolving credit facility,
which was amended to provide borrowings up to $160.0 million. It was accounted
for as a purchase. As such, the applicable goodwill was recognized and will be
amortized over the remaining life of the goodwill acquired upon the formation of
HB-PS.

FINANCIAL REVIEW--Continued

Unit volume and sales mix favorably impacted results due to a shift in the
"better" and "best" categories from 46 percent of sales volume in 1995 to 49
percent of sales volume in 1996. Contributing to the favorable results were
increased sales of blenders, coffeemakers, food processors and sandwich makers
offset by reduced sales of toasters, irons and toaster ovens. In addition, unit
volume was favorably impacted as a result of an increase in overall market
share. The competitive pricing environment, due primarily to low-cost Chinese
imports, continues to unfavorably affect operating results. Favorable materials
pricing somewhat offset by higher overhead costs contributed to the reduction in
manufacturing costs. The reduction in materials pricing includes the favorable
effect of the 1995 acquisition of Plasticos Sotec de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
("Sotec"), which supplies plastic parts to certain of HBPS's Mexican operations.
Other operating expenses increased over 1995 due to additional marketing
expenses relating to a national advertising campaign and additional amortization
related to the 1995 acquisition of Sotec.

1995 COMPARED WITH 1994

The following schedule identifies the components of the changes in revenues,
operating profit and net income for 1995 compared with 1994:

</TABLE>

During 1995, the size of the domestic small electric appliance market declined
approximately 4 percent. Nevertheless, HB-PS increased its market share from 
27.8 percent in 1994 to 29.9 percent in 1995. Increased sales of can openers,
irons, roaster ovens and coffeemakers, slightly offset by reduced sales of
toasters, toaster ovens and blenders, resulted in overall higher volume. In
1995, approximately 46 percent of HB-PS's total sales volume was in the
"better" and "best" product categories, compared with 43 percent in 1994. This
favorable shift in sales mix resulted in improved margins on the incremental
volumes in 1995. Reduced pricing on domestic products in the "better" and
"best" categories was the primary cause of the unfavorable price variance.
Increased selling and marketing costs as well as administrative costs caused
the unfavorable impact from other operating expenses.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Below is a detail of other income (expense) for the year ended December 31:

Effective tax rate             38.5%              31.0%              41.7%
</TABLE>

Interest expense decreased in 1996 compared with 1995 and 1994 due to lower
average borrowings and interest rates during 1996. The reduction in HB-PS's tax
rate in 1995 is primarily due to the utilization of foreign tax credits
resulting from the repatriation of foreign earnings previously taxed at a rate
in excess of the U.S. statutory tax rate.

1997 OUTLOOK

HB-PS expects 1997 to remain highly competitive with the overall industry growth
projected to be less than 1%. However, planned introductions of new products in
several categories should allow HB-PS to continue its market share growth.
Growth is also expected from the significant emphasis being placed on HB-PS's
commercial and international business units. In 1997, HB-PS plans to start up a
new manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico, which should improve HB-PS's
cost position. HB-PS's national advertising program that began in 1996 is
expected to continue in 1997, with continued emphasis on the Hamilton Beach
brand name.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

HB-PS's credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility ("HB-PS
Facility") that permits advances up to $160.0 million. At December 31, 1996,
HB-PS had $72.1 million available under the HB-PS Facility. The expiration date
of the HB-PS Facility (which was extended to May 1999 during 1996) may be
extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of
HB-PS and the bank group. The HB-PS Facility provides lower interest rates if
HB-PS achieves a certain interest coverage ratio and allows for interest rates
quoted under a competitive bid option. At December 31, 1996, HB-PS also had
$23.9 million available under separate facilities.

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $15.1 million in 1996, $9.7
million in 1995 and are anticipated to be approximately $19.0 million in 1997.
These planned expenditures will be used primarily for the construction of a new
facility in Mexico, to improve manufacturing efficiency and to acquire tooling
for new and existing products. Capital for these expenditures has been and is
expected to be provided primarily by internally generated funds and bank
borrowings.

</TABLE>

KCI had a net increase in new stores of 10, or approximately 8 percent, in 1996.
The increased number of stores, along with a full year's operation of the 15
stores opened in 1995, resulted in increased revenues in 1996 compared with
1995. The results at comparable stores and the profitability at new stores were
adversely affected by the continuing difficult factory outlet retail environment
evidenced by lower levels of customer traffic in factory outlet malls. The
unfavorable other variance is due to higher payroll and store rent costs.

</TABLE>

KCI had a net increase in new stores of 15, or approximately 13 percent, in
1995. The increased number of stores, along with a full year's operation of the
15 stores opened in 1994, resulted in increased revenues in 1995 compared with
1994. A difficult retailing environment in 1995 caused a decrease in customer
traffic, resulting in reduced sales at comparable stores. In addition, margins
were negatively impacted by this environment, along with an overall shift to
lower margin products. The unfavorable variance in other was caused primarily by
increased payroll related costs and store rent escalations.

OTHER INCOME, EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Interest expense was $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. KCI's effective tax rate was 42.7 percent, 41.9 percent
and 40.0 percent in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

1997 OUTLOOK

The retail factory outlet environment demands value pricing, a full selection of
merchandise as well as efficient, courteous service. Meeting these demands puts
pressure on earnings, as KCI strives to maintain low costs while providing high
levels of service. Due to high levels of competition and increased employee
costs, KCI does not anticipate 1997's sales growth, if any, to significantly
benefit net income. To address these market conditions, KCI plans to emphasize
more brand name values, offer programs that encourage repeat-customer sales and
consider diversifying beyond the factory outlet malls.

See discussion under the heading "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS."

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

KCI's credit agreement provides for a $5.0 million revolving credit facility
("KCI Facility"). The KCI Facility has performance-based pricing which provides
for reduced interest rates based on the achievement of certain financial
performance measures. At December 31, 1996, KCI had $5.0 million of its facility
available.

These expenditures are primarily for new store openings and improvements to
existing facilities, and are funded by internally generated funds and short-term
borrowings.

NACCO AND OTHER

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NACCO and Other includes the parent company operations and Bellaire Corporation
("Bellaire"), a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO. While Bellaire's operations
are minor, it has significant long-term liabilities related to closed mine
activities, primarily from former eastern U.S. underground coal-mining
activities. Cash payments related to Bellaire's obligations, net of internally
generated cash, are funded by NACCO and amounted to $4.1 million during 1996,
$3.4 million during 1995 and are anticipated to be $4.5 million in 1997.

The results of operations at NACCO and Other were as follows for the year ended
December 31:

</TABLE>

The extraordinary gain in 1995 of $32.3 million, net of $19.8 million in taxes,
relates to a downward revision in the obligation to the United Mine Workers of
America Combined Benefit Fund ("UMWA"). This obligation was recognized by
Bellaire as an extraordinary charge in 1992 to accrue for the estimated costs
associated with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 ("Coal
Act"). It is the Company's policy to periodically review the estimates and
assumptions upon which various liability reserves are based. As a result of a
review of the assumptions relating to the number of Company and industry covered
beneficiaries ultimately assigned to Bellaire, and the trend of health care
costs, the aggregate estimated costs associated with the Coal Act are expected
to be lower than originally anticipated. Management believes that the liability,
revised to $69.3 million, net of $33.3 million of deferred taxes, in 1995, more
accurately represents the future cost of this obligation.

NACCO AND OTHER--Continued

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION

NMHG, HB-PS, NACoal and KCI have entered into interest rate swap agreements for
portions of their floating rate debt. These interest rate swaps provide
protection against significant increases in interest rates and have terms
ranging from one to seven years. The Company evaluates its exposure to floating
rate debt on an ongoing basis. The notional amounts, fixed rates paid and
remaining duration of these swaps for each subsidiary are included in Note 11 to
the consolidated financial statements on page F-17 of this annual report.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's manufacturing operations, like those of other companies engaged in
similar businesses, involve the use, disposal and cleanup of substances
regulated under environmental protection laws. The Company's NACoal subsidiary
is affected by the regulations of agencies under which it operates, particularly
the Federal Office of Surface Mining, the United States Environmental Protection
Agency and associated state regulatory authorities. In addition, NACoal is
attentive to any changes which may arise due to proposed legislation concerning
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, reauthorization of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Endangered Species Act
and other regulatory actions.

Compliance with these increasingly stringent standards results in higher
expenditures for both capital improvements and operating costs. The Company's
policies stress environmental responsibility and compliance with these
regulations. Based on current information, management does not expect compliance
with these regulations to have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition or results of operations.

NACCO has not yet adopted AICPA Statement of Position 96-1 ("SOP 96-1"),
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities." SOP 96-1 provides guidance on the
recognition and measurement of environmental remediation liabilities incurred as
a result of threatened litigation or actual assessment. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this statement, which is required in fiscal 1997, to have
a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Although the subsidiaries have entered into substantial debt agreements, NACCO
has not guaranteed the long-term debt or any borrowings of its subsidiaries.

The debt agreements of HB-PS and KCI allow for the payment of dividends to NACCO
under certain circumstances. The revised credit agreement, entered into in 1995
by NMHG, allows the transfer of up to $25.0 million to NACCO. There have not yet
been any such transfers. There are no restrictions on the transfer of assets
from NACoal. Dividends and advances from NACoal, HB-PS and KCI are the primary
source of cash for NACCO.

The Company believes it can adequately meet all of its current and long-term
commitments and operating needs. This outlook stems from amounts available under
revolving credit facilities and the utility customers' funding of the project
mining subsidiaries.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION

NMHG and HB-PS operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated
in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the transaction
exposures that arise from exchange rate movements between the dates foreign
currency transactions are recorded and the dates they are consummated. The
effects of foreign currency on revenues, operating income and net income at NMHG
are discussed above. At HB-PS, foreign currency effects had an immaterial impact
on operating results year over year.

NMHG and HB-PS use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to partially
reduce risks related to transactions denominated in foreign currencies. These
contracts usually have maturities of one to twelve months and generally require
the company to buy or sell Japanese yen, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars or
various European currencies for the U.S. dollar at rates agreed to at the
inception of the contracts. Gains and losses from changes in the market value of
these contracts are deferred and recognized as part of the transaction being
hedged.

The Company believes that inflation has not materially affected its results of
operations in 1996 and does not expect inflation to be a significant item in
1997.

                             NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC.
                     1997 ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN


1.       PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
         -------------------

         The purpose of the NACCO Industries, Inc. 1997 Annual Incentive
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") is to further the profits and growth of NACCO
Industries, Inc. (the "Company") by enabling the Company to attract and retain
key employees of the Company by offering annual incentive compensation to those
key employees who will be in a position to help the Company to meet its
financial and business objectives.

2.       DEFINITIONS
         -----------

         (a) "Award" means cash paid to a Participant under the Plan for the
Award Term in an amount determined in accordance with Section 4.

         (b) "Award Term" means the period from January 1, 1997 through December
31, 1997.

         (c) "Base Amount" means for any Participant a dollar amount, which
shall be equal to the salary midpoint for the Salary Points assigned to the
Participant by the Committee for the Award Term multiplied by 60% of the
short-term incentive compensation target percent for those Salary Points.
Attached hereto as EXHIBIT A is a schedule listing the Base Amount for each
Participant for the Award Term.

         (d) "Committee" means the Nominating, Organization and Compensation
Committee of the Company's Board of Directors or any other committee appointed
by the Company's Board of Directors to administer this Plan in accordance with
Section 3, so long as any such committee consists of not less than two directors
of the Company and so long as each member of the Committee is not an employee of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

         (e) "Participant" means any salaried employee of the Company who in the
judgment of the Committee occupies a key position in which his efforts may
significantly contribute to the profits or growth of the Company; provided,
however, that the Committee may select any employee who is expected to
contribute, or who has contributed, significantly to the Company's profitability
to participate in the Plan and receive an Award hereunder; and further provided,
however, that following the end of the Award Term the Committee may make one or
more discretionary Awards to employees of the Company who are not Participants.
Directors of the Company who are also employees of the Company are eligible 




<PAGE>   2

to participate in the Plan. Employees of the Company's subsidiaries shall not be
eligible to participate in the Plan. The Committee shall have the power to add
Participants at any later date in the Award Term if individuals subsequently
become eligible to participate in the Plan. Each Participant shall be notified
that he is eligible to receive an Award for such term and the amount of his Base
Amount. If a Participant receives a change in Salary Points, salary midpoint
and/or short-term incentive compensation target percent, such change and any
resulting change in his Base Amount will be reflected on an amended EXHIBIT A.
Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a Participant must be both
employed by the Company and a Participant on December 31 of the Award Term, and
the amount of any Award to a Participant who was not also employed by the
Company and a Participant on the first day of the Award Term shall be not more
than the pro-rated amount based upon the number of days actually employed by the
Company in the Award Term. Attached hereto as EXHIBIT A is a schedule listing
the Participants for the Award Term.

         (f) "Salary Points" means the salary points assigned to a Participant
by the Committee pursuant to the Hay salary point system, or any successor
salary point system adopted by the Committee.

3.       ADMINISTRATION
         --------------

         This Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall
have complete authority to interpret all provisions of this Plan consistent with
law, to prescribe the form of any instrument evidencing any Award granted or
paid under this Plan, to adopt, amend and rescind general and special rules and
regulations for its administration, and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. A majority of the
Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the action of members of the Committee
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present or acts unanimously approved
in writing, shall be the act of the Committee. All acts and decisions of the
Committee with respect to any questions arising in connection with the
administration and interpretation of this Plan, including the severability of
any or all of the provisions hereof, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon
the Company and all present and former Participants, all other employees of the
Company, and their respective descendants, successors and assigns. No member of
the Committee shall be liable for any such act or decision made in good faith.

4.       AWARDS
         ------

determine, authorize Awards for Participants, which Awards shall be not
inconsistent with, and shall be subject to all of the requirements of, the
following provisions:


                                       2
<PAGE>   3

         (a) PERFORMANCE TARGETS. The Committee shall determine performance
target descriptions, weightings and targets for the Award Term, which shall be
attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. The Committee shall have the power to add, delete
and amend target descriptions, weightings and targets during the Award Term,
which shall be reflected on an amended EXHIBIT B. No performance targets used in
this Plan shall be used in the Company's Supplemental Annual Incentive
Compensation Plan in the same year.

         (b) AWARDS. Following the end of the Award Term, the Committee shall
compare the actual performance against the performance targets for each of the
performance target descriptions. Based thereupon, the Committee shall determine
the total payout percentage under the Plan (the "Payout Percentage"). The
Committee shall then determine the Award for each Participant, which shall be
equal to the Participant's Base Amount, multiplied by the Payout Percentage, and
further adjusted by such other factors, including an individual performance
factor for each Participant, as the Committee shall determine are appropriate;
provided, however, that no Award may be made to any Participant which exceeds
150% of his Base Amount. Promptly following the approval of the final Awards,
the Company shall pay the amount of such Awards to the Participants in cash,
subject to all withholdings and deductions pursuant to Section 5; provided,
however, that no Award shall be payable to a Participant except as determined by
the Committee.

5.       WITHHOLDING TAXES
         -----------------

         Any Award paid to a Participant under this Plan, shall be subject to
standard federal, state and local income tax, social security and other standard
withholdings and deductions.

6.       AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
         -------------------------

         The Committee may alter or amend this Plan from time to time or
terminate it in its entirety; provided, however, that no such action shall,
without the consent of a Participant, affect the rights in an outstanding Award
of such Participant.

7.       GENERAL PROVISIONS

         (a) NO RIGHT OF EMPLOYMENT. Neither the adoption or operation of this
Plan, nor any document describing or referring to this Plan, or any part
thereof, shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of
the Company, or shall in any way affect the right and power of the Company 

                                       3
<PAGE>   4


to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without
assigning a reason therefor to the same extent as the Company might have done if

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

         (c) MISCELLANEOUS. Headings are given to the sections of this Plan
solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings, numbering and
paragraphing shall not in any case be deemed in any way material or relevant to
the construction of this Plan or any provisions thereof. The use of the

5.       AMENDMENT

         The Committee may alter or amend these Guidelines from time to time;
provided, however, that no such action shall, without the consent of a
Participant, affect the rights in an outstanding Award of such Participant; and
further provided, however, that no amendment to these Guidelines may be made
which would cause any amount paid to a Participant who is, or is determined to
be likely to become, a "covered employee" to be includable as "applicable
employee remuneration" of such Participant, as such terms are defined in Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1997 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION 
PLAN

SUMMARY

The Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan) offers a strongly competitive incentive
opportunity to senior managers when all performance objectives under their
control or influence are achieved. This is accomplished through a structure
containing the following elements:

          -    Each participant is assigned an individual incentive target,
               stated as a percentage of salary midpoint, that establishes the
               incentive amount they will receive when performance objectives
               are met.

          -    The individual target amount is allocated among the following
               performance components:

               -    North American Coal (NAC) corporate performance.

               -    Bellaire Corporation cash flow.

               -    Business unit results.

               -    Individual achievement.

          -    Percentage weightings are assigned to each component based on the
               participant's accountabilities and their impact on each
               component.

          -    One or more performance objectives will be established at the
               beginning of the year for each performance component.

          -    A performance range, which defines the acceptable level of
               results, from threshold to maximum, is created around each
               performance objective.

          -    A payout range is defined which provides for incentive payments
               up to 150 percent of the incentive target, except to the extent
               the committee elects to increase the actual pool by up to 10%, as
               described below.

          -    A performance/payout schedule combines the two ranges into a
               matrix that defines the level of payout that will result from
               each level of performance.

          -    After audited financials are available, awards will be calculated
               based on actual results against the established objectives.

          -    A final individual performance adjustment may be made, within a
               range of + or - 10 percent of the calculated award, based on a 
               judgment of the participant's overall performance.

1997 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

This incentive compensation plan will allow management and the Board to
establish, in advance, the performance expectations and related incentive
potential that NAC's executives will work with for the year. At year-end, the
structure channels judgment of the managements team's performance along
predetermined lines that should convey a sense of fairness in the determination
of rewards.

PLAN STRUCTURE

         INDIVIDUAL INCENTIVE TARGETS
         ----------------------------

         The fundamental building block of the proposed Plan structure is the
         individual incentive target. Each participant is assigned a target,
         stated as a percentage of base salary, which will be paid when all
         relevant performance objectives are achieved. The Plan provides for
         payments above or below the target to reflect acceptable variances from
         performance objectives.

         PERFORMANCE GOALS

         Four sets of goals are proposed:





                           INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK








         INCENTIVE AWARD RANGE
         ---------------------

         Actual performance results attained probably will not be exactly equal
         to the established performance goals. Therefore, the Plan is designed
         to provide payouts ranging up to 150 percent of the target award if
         actual results fall within a predetermined range of acceptable
         performance.

1997 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

         The award range is defined as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                % OF
                AWARD LEVEL                    TARGET                                 DESCRIPTION
<S>                                                   <C>           <C>
           Maximum                                    150%           Highest level of incentive paid.

           Target                                     100%           Competitive incentive opportunity for
                                                                     achieving all important goals.

           Threshold                                   50%           Incentive  paid  when  results  meet  minimum
                                                                     acceptable standards.

           Below threshold                              0%           Performance does not merit incentive payment.
</TABLE>


         COMPONENT WEIGHTINGS
         --------------------

         Participants' potential incentive awards will be allocated between
         performance components based on their individual impact on results. The
         allocations allow for awards to be earned based on the achievement of
         the performance objectives over which each executive has the most
         control. Weightings will be stated as a percentage and total 100
         percent for each participant. The weightings will be established each
         year to reflect current organizational accountabilities and the
         relative importance of the various performance components. Our
         recommended weightings are as follows:






                           INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK











         When there is more than one goal for a performance component, further
         percentage weightings may be assigned, within the overall weightings,
         to reflect the relative priority of each goal. For

         example, if the individual component has a 40 percent weighting and
         there are five individual goals, each individual goal might be assigned
         a priority weighting of 20 percent.

         PERFORMANCE RANGE
         -----------------

         A range of performance acceptable for incentive payment will be
         established around each performance objective. For quantitative goals,
         the range may be set as a percentage of the objective. For goals that
         cannot be quantified, the range will be defined in narrative form as
         clearly as possible.

         The following general definitions will apply. The percentage ranges
         indicated are only guidelines; specific percentage ranges or narrative
         descriptions should be determined for each goal in line with the
         definitions.

</TABLE>

         PERFORMANCE/PAYOUT SCHEDULE
         ---------------------------

         Combining the payout and performance ranges yields a performance/
         payout schedule as in the following example:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
          PERFORMANCE          DEFINITION            RESULTS    LEVELS          PAYOUT
<S>                         <C>                      <C>      <C>              <C>
          Threshold           Just bonusable             75%   Threshold          50%

          Objective           On plan                   100%   Target            100%

          Maximum             Heavy stretch             125%   Maximum           150%
</TABLE>


         This schedule is applied separately to the results of each established
         performance element to determine the incentive amount earned in
         accordance with assigned weightings. Performance that falls between the
         defined levels would result in proportionally adjusted payouts which
         may be calculated mathematically or determined judgmentally.

         CORPORATE PERFORMANCE THRESHOLD
         -------------------------------

         No incentive awards will be earned under the Plan in any year unless
         the threshold level under the corporate performance component is
         achieved. Once the corporate performance threshold is 


                                       5
<PAGE>   7

1997 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

         attained, each performance objective is separate and distinct. This
         means that partial awards can be earned for the attainment of one
         performance objective even if another is not sufficient to generate a
         payout.

         INDIVIDUAL ADJUSTMENT FACTOR
         ----------------------------

         Each individual award, as calculated above, may be adjusted upward or
         downward by as much as 10 percent of the total award based on
         managements' perceptions of each individual's overall performance.

         PARTIAL AWARDS
         --------------

         Executives who are hired or promoted during the year to positions
         eligible for participation in the Plan may be included in the Plan on a
         pro ratio basis.

         COMMITTEE DISCRETION
         --------------------

         It is the intent of the Plan that the total incentive compensation, as
         determined above, will be the final total corporate incentive
         compensation to be paid. However, the committee, in its sole
         discretion, may increase or decrease by up to ten percent the total
         incentive compensation or may approve an incentive compensation payment
         where there would normally be no payments due to corporate performance
         which is below the criteria established for the year.

the Company to meet its financial and business objectives. The objective of the
Plan is to provide an opportunity to earn annual incentive compensation to those
employees whose performance has a significant impact on the Company's short-term
and long-term profitability.

ADMINISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION
- --------------------------------

         The Plan is administered by the Nominating, Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the

                  Committee may select any employee who has contributed
                  significantly to the Company's profitability to participate in
                  the Plan and receive an annual incentive compensation award.

         c.       Will determine the annual performance criteria which generate
                  the incentive compensation pool.

         d.       Will determine the total amount of both the target and actual
                  annual incentive compensation pool.

         e.       Will approve individual incentive compensation awards to
                  officers and employees in NACCO Materials Handling Group above

                  approval of incentive compensation awards to NACCO Materials
                  Handling Group employees in salary grade 29 and below.

         g.       May consider at the end of each year the award of a
                  discretionary bonus amount to non-participants as an addition
                  to the regular incentive compensation pool on a special
                  one-time basis to motivate individuals not eligible to
                  participate in the Plan.

         h.       May approve a pro-rate incentive compensation award for
                  participants in the Plan whose employment is terminated (1)

                  circumstances at the recommendation of the Chief Executive
                  Officer of the Company.

DETERMINATION OF CORPORATE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION POOL
- ------------------------------------------------------

         Each participant in the Plan will have an individual target incentive
compensation percentage which is determined by the participant's salary grade.
This percentage is multiplied by the mid-point of the participant's salary grade
to determine his individual target incentive compensation award. The total of
the target incentive compensation awards of all participants equals the target
corporate incentive compensation pool ("Target Pool"). The Target Pool is
approved each year by the Committee.

         The actual corporate incentive compensation pool ("Actual Pool") is
determined at the end of each year based on the Company's actual performance
against specific criteria established in the beginning of the year by the
Committee. The Target Pool is adjusted upwards or downwards by corporate
performance adjustment factors to determine the Actual Pool. In no event will
the Actual Pool exceed 150% of the Target Pool, except to the extent that the
Committee elects to increase the Actual Pool by up to 110%, as described below.

         The Target and Actual Pools may consist of the sum of two or more
subpools, provided the subpools have individual objectives.





                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         It is the intent of the Plan that the Actual Pool, as determined above,
will be the final total corporate incentive compensation pool. However, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase or decrease by up to 10% the
Actual Pool or may approve an incentive compensation pool where there would
normally be no pool due to Company performance which is below the criteria
established for the year.

         The Actual and Target Pools exclude the Marketing Incentive Plan for
regional parts, service, sales and national account managers. However, total
compensation or employees covered by the Marketing Incentive Plan will be based
on competitive levels.

DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS
- ---------------------------------------------------------

         Salary grades and the corresponding target incentive percentages for
each participant in the Plan will be established at the beginning of each year
and approved by the Committee. Individual target incentive compensation will
then be adjusted by the appropriate pool or subpool factor. Such adjusted
individual incentive compensation will then be further modified based on the
team performance to which an individual belongs compared to the team goals for
the year.

         The total of all individual incentive compensation awards must not
exceed the Actual Pool for the Year.

         Attached are examples of actual pool and individual award calculations.

                  (a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:

                  (i) "NET INCOME (BEFORE EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS)" is defined as
consolidated net income, as defined by general accepted accounting principals
("GAAP"), for the Company for the subject year before extraordinary items, but
including any extraordinary items related to refinancings (net of tax);

                  (ii) "AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL" is defined as the consolidated
amortization expense related to the intangible asset goodwill for the Company
for the subject year;

                  (iii) "WEIGHTED AVERAGE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY" is calculated by
adding the consolidated stockholders' equity for the Company, as defined by
GAAP, at the beginning of the subject year and the end of each month of the
subject year and dividing by thirteen;

                  (iv) "WEIGHTED AVERAGE ACCUMULATED AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL"
is calculated by adding consolidated accumulated amortization of goodwill, as
defined by GAAP, at the beginning of the subject year and the end of each month
of the subject year and dividing by thirteen.

                  (b) "Adjusted ROE" shall mean the average return on equity of
the Company calculated for the applicable time period, based on A divided by B,
where:

         A  =     Net Income (before extraordinary items) + Amortization of
                  Goodwill; and

         B  =     Weighted Average (Shareholders' Equity + Accumulated
                  Amortization of Goodwill)

Adjusted ROE shall be determined at least annually by the Company.

                  SECTION 2.3. BENEFICIARY shall mean the person or persons
designated by the Participant as his Beneficiary under this Plan, in accordance
with the provisions of Article VII hereof.

Combined Defined Benefit Plan for NACCO Industries, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
(commonly known as the "Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. Profit Sharing
Retirement Plan") (or any successor thereto), as the same may be amended from
time to time. Benefits under the Cash Balance Plan were permanently frozen
effective for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1997.

                                    (i) to reduce his Compensation (as that 
term is defined in Section 2.7 hereof) by the difference between (A) a certain

made in accordance with Subsections (a) or (b) above shall be irrevocable and
shall remain in effect for subsequent Plan Years unless for subsequent Plan
Years the directions are changed or terminated by the Participant, on the
appropriate form provided by the Plan Administrator, prior to the first day of

direction to make deferrals of Excess 401(k) Benefits shall automatically
terminate on the earlier of the date on which (i) the Participant ceases

the period of his suspension from the Savings Plan.

                  SECTION 3.4.  EXCESS MATCHING BENEFITS.

                  (a) IN GENERAL. A 401(k) Employee shall have credited to his

Contributions that he is prevented from receiving under the Savings Plan because
of the limitations imposed under Code Sections 402(g), 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3) and
401(m) (collectively, the "Excess Matching Benefits").

paid (or commence to be paid) at the time specified in the Deferral Election
Form for the payment of the Excess 401(k) Benefits to which the Excess Matching

establish and maintain on its books an Account for each Participant which shall
contain the following entries:

                  (a) Credits to an Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account for the
Excess Profit Sharing Benefits described in Section 3.2, which shall be credited
to the Sub-Account at the time the Profit Sharing Contributions are otherwise
credited to Participants' Accounts under the Savings Plan;

                  (b) Credits to an Excess 401(k) Sub-Account for the Excess
401(k) Benefits described in Section 3.3, which shall be credited to the
Sub-Account when a 401(k) Employee is prevented from making a Before-Tax
Contribution under the Savings Plan;

                  (c) Credits to an Excess Matching Sub-Account for the Excess
Matching Benefits described in Section 3.4, which shall be credited to the

Matching Employer Contributions under the Savings Plan;

                  (d) Credits to such Sub-Accounts for the earnings described in

                  SECTION 3.6. EFFECT ON OTHER BENEFITS. Benefits payable to or
with respect to a Participant under the Qualified Plans or any other
Company-sponsored (qualified or nonqualified) plan, if any, are in addition to

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                    EARNINGS
                                    --------

                  SECTION 4.1. FOR ACTIVE PROFIT SHARING EMPLOYEES. Except as
provided in Section 4.3, at the end of each calendar month during a Plan Year,
the Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account of each Participant shall be credited with
an amount determined by multiplying such Participant's average Excess Profit
Sharing Sub-Account balance during such month by the blended rate earned during
such month by the Fixed Income Fund under the Savings Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the Adjusted ROE determined for such Plan Year
exceeds the rate credited to the Participant's Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account
under the preceding sentence, such Sub-Account shall retroactively be credited
with the difference between (a) the amount determined under the preceding
sentence, and (b) the amount determined by multiplying the Participant's average
Sub-Account balance during each month of such Plan Year by the Adjusted ROE
determined for such Plan Year, compounded monthly.

                  SECTION 4.2.  FOR ACTIVE 401(K) EMPLOYEES.

                  (a) For purposes of determining the earnings to be credited to
401(k) Employee's Account, such Account shall be divided into two additional
Sub-Accounts, the "7% Sub-Account" and the "Additional Sub-Account." The 7%
Sub-Account shall contain Excess 401(k) Benefits and Excess Matching Benefits
attributable to amounts deferred by the 401(k) Employee of up to 7% of his
Compensation, plus any earnings attributable thereto. The Additional Sub-Account
shall contain the Excess 401(k) Benefits and Excess Matching Benefits
attributable to amounts deferred by the 401(k) Employee in excess of 7% of his
Compensation, plus any earnings attributable thereto.

                  (b) Except as provided in Section 4.3, at the end of each
calendar month during a Plan Year, the 7% Sub-Account of each 401(k) Employee
shall be credited with an amount determined by multiplying such Participant's
average 7% Sub-Account balance during such month by the blended rate earned
during such month by the Fixed Income Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that the Adjusted ROE determined for such Plan Year exceeds the rate
credited to the Participant's 7% Sub-Account under the preceding sentence, the
Participant's 7% Sub-Account shall retroactively be credited with the difference
between (i) the amount determined under the preceding sentence, and (ii) the
amount determined by multiplying the Participant's average 7% Sub-Account
balance during each month of such Plan Year by the Adjusted ROE determined for
such Plan Year, compounded monthly.

<PAGE>   9

                  (c) At the end of each calendar month during a Plan Year, the
Additional Sub-Account of each Participant shall be credited with an amount
determined by multiplying such Participant's average Additional Sub-Account
balance during such month by the blended rate earned during such month by the
Fixed Income Fund.

                  SECTION 4.3. FOR TERMINATED EMPLOYEES. The Sub-Accounts of a
Participant who has terminated employment with the Controlled Group shall be
credited with earnings as described in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as modified by this
Section 4.3, until the vested portion of each Sub-Account has been distributed
in full. The Adjusted ROE calculation described in the second sentence of
Section 4.1 and in the second sentence of Section 4.2(b) shall be made during
the month in which the Participant terminates employment and shall be based on
the year-to-date Adjusted ROE for the month ending prior to the date the
Participant terminated employment, as calculated by the Company. For any
subsequent month, the Adjusted ROE calculation described in the second sentence
of Section 4.1 and in the second sentence of Section 4.2(b), shall not apply.
The Fixed Income Fund calculation described in the first sentence of Section 4.1
and 4.2(a) and in Section 4.2(c) for the month in which the Participant receives
a distribution from his Sub-Account shall be based on the blended rate earned
during the preceding month by the Fixed Income Fund.

                  SECTION 4.3. CHANGES IN EARNINGS ASSUMPTIONS. The Committee
(as defined in Section 9.5) may change the earnings rate credited to Accounts
hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days advance notice to Participants.

                  SECTION 4.4. LIMITATION ON EARNINGS ASSUMPTION.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event will the
earnings rate credited to Accounts hereunder exceed 14%.

                                     VESTING
                                     -------

                  A Participant shall not become vested in his Excess Pension
Benefit or Excess Profit Sharing Benefit until he becomes vested in the
corresponding benefit under the applicable underlying Qualified Plan and the
Excess Pension Benefit and/or Excess Profit Sharing Benefit of a Participant who
is partially or fully vested under the applicable underlying Qualified Plan
shall at all times be vested hereunder to the extent he is so vested. A
Participant shall always be 100% vested in his Excess 401(k) Benefit and his
Excess Matching Benefit hereunder. The non-vested portion of any Excess
Retirement Benefit shall be forfeited and/or reinstated under this Plan in
accordance with the vesting, forfeiture and service rules contained in the
applicable underlying Qualified Plan.

                    DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

                  SECTION 6.1.  TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT.

                  (a)      EXCESS PENSION BENEFITS.

                           (i) TIMING. A Participant who is a Cash Balance

the benefits payable to the Participant under the Cash Balance Plan.

                           (ii) FORM. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that the monthly payments of the Excess Pension Benefits payable to a
Participant hereunder following the Participant's termination of the employment
with the Controlled Group amount to less than Fifty Dollars ($50) per month,
such Excess Pension Benefits shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum
payment. Such lump sum amount shall be equal to the Actuarial Equivalent present
value of such Excess Pension Benefits.

                  (b) EXCESS PROFIT SHARING BENEFITS. The Excess Profit Sharing
Benefit payable to a Participant shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum
payment at the time the corresponding Post-1996 Profit Sharing Contributions
payable to the Participant under the Savings Plan commence to be paid.

                  (c)      EXCESS 401(K) AND MATCHING BENEFITS.

                           (i) TIMING. A Participant's Account shall be paid (or
commence to be paid) to the Participant at the time specified in the
Participant's Deferral Election Form pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

                           (ii) FORM. A Participant's Account shall be
distributed in the form of ten annual installments with each installment being
based on the value of the Participant's Account on the Valuation Date
immediately preceding the date such installment is to be paid and being a
fraction of such value in which the numerator is one and the denominator is the
total number of remaining installments to be paid. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Participant may elect to receive his Account in the form of a
single lump sum payment or in annual installments for a period of less than 10
years by filing a notice in writing, signed by the Participant while he is alive
and filed with the Plan Administrator at least one year prior to the time he had
elected to commence receiving payment of the portion his Account to which his
election applies. Any such election of the form of benefit may be changed at any
time and from time to time, without the consent of any other person, by filing a
later election in writing that is signed by a Participant and filed with the
Plan 




                                       9

of the Participant cause to be paid to such Participant an amount equal to all
or any part of the Participant's Excess 401(k) Sub-Account and/or Excess
Matching Sub-Account if the Company determines, in its absolute discretion based
on such reasonable evidence that it shall require, that such a payment or
payments is necessary for the purpose of alleviating the consequences of an
Unforeseeable Emergency occurring with respect to the Participant. Payments of
amounts because of an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be permitted only to the
extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need.

                  SECTION 6.2. SMALL SUB-ACCOUNTS. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that the vested portion of a Participant's Account does
not exceed $5,000 at the time of such Participant's termination of employment

following his termination of employment.

                  SECTION 6.3. LIABILITY FOR PAYMENT/EXPENSES. The Company shall
be liable for the payment of the Excess Retirement Benefits which are payable

                                  BENEFICIARIES
                                  -------------

                  SECTION 7.1. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS. A designation of a
Beneficiary hereunder may be made only by an instrument (in form acceptable to
the Plan Administrator) signed by the Participant and filed with the Plan
Administrator prior to the Participant's death. In the absence of such a
designation and at any other time when there is no existing Beneficiary
designated hereunder, the Beneficiary of a Participant for his Excess Pension
Benefits and/or his Account shall be his Beneficiary under the Cash Balance Plan
and the Savings Plan, respectively. A person designated by a Participant as his
Beneficiary who or which ceases to exist shall not be entitled to any part of
any payment thereafter to be made to the Participant's Beneficiary unless the
Participant's designation specifically provided to the contrary. If two or more
persons designated as a Participant's Beneficiary are in existence with respect
to a single Excess Retirement Benefit the amount of any payment to the
Beneficiary under this Plan shall be divided equally among such persons unless
the Participant's designation specifically provides for a different allocation.

                  SECTION 7.2. CHANGE IN BENEFICIARY. (a) Anything herein or in
the Qualified Plans to the contrary notwithstanding, 


                                       10
<PAGE>   12

a Participant may, at any time and from time to time, change a Beneficiary
designation hereunder without the consent of any existing Beneficiary or any
other person. A change in Beneficiary hereunder may be made regardless of
whether such a change is also made under the applicable underlying Qualified
Plan. In other words, the Beneficiary hereunder need not be the same as under
the applicable underlying Qualified Plan.

                  (b) Any change in Beneficiary shall be made by giving written
notice thereof to the Plan Administrator and any change shall be effective only
if received by the Plan Administrator prior to the death of the Participant.

                  SECTION 7.3.  DISTRIBUTIONS TO BENEFICIARIES.

                  (a)   AMOUNT OF BENEFITS.

                      (i) AMOUNT OF EXCESS PENSION BENEFIT. The Excess
                  Pension Benefit payable to a Beneficiary under this Plan shall
                  be a monthly benefit equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
                  amount of the monthly benefit that would be payable to the
                  Beneficiary last effectively designated by the Participant
                  under the Cash Balance Plan (in the form actually paid) if
                  such Plan did not contain the limitations imposed under
                  Sections 401(a)(17) or 415 of the Code and the definition of
                  Compensation under such Plan included any amounts deferred
                  under this Plan OVER (B) the amount of the monthly benefit
                  that is actually paid to such Beneficiary under such Plan.

                     (ii) AMOUNT OF EXCESS PROFIT SHARING BENEFIT. The Excess
                  Profit Sharing Benefit payable to a Participant's Beneficiary
                  under this Plan shall be equal to such Participant's vested
                  Excess Profit Sharing Sub-Account balance on the date of the
                  distribution of the Sub-Account to the Beneficiary.

                    (iii) AMOUNT OF EXCESS 401(K) AND EXCESS MATCHING BENEFITS.
                  The Excess 401(k) and Excess Matching Benefits payable to a
                  Participant's Beneficiary under this Plan shall be equal to
                  such Participant's Excess 401(k) and Excess Matching
                  Sub-Account balances on the date of the distribution of the
                  Sub-Accounts to the Beneficiary.

                  (b)   TIME AND MANNER OF PAYMENT.

                           (i) EXCESS PENSION BENEFIT. The Excess Pension
                  Benefit payable to a Beneficiary under this Plan shall be paid
                  at the same time or times and in the same manner as the
                  benefits payable to the Beneficiary last effectively
                  designated by the Participant under the Cash Balance Plan;
                  provided however, that the provisions of Subsection 6.1(a)(ii)
                  shall apply to such 


                                       11
<PAGE>   13

                  Benefit, treating the Beneficiary hereunder as if he were the
                  Participant.

                           (ii) EXCESS PROFIT SHARING BENEFIT/EXCESS 401(k)
                  BENEFIT AND EXCESS MATCHING BENEFIT. The Excess Profit Sharing
                  Benefit, Excess 401(k) Benefit and Excess Matching Benefit
                  payable to a Beneficiary under this Plan shall be paid as soon
                  as practicable following the death of the Participant in the
                  form of a lump sum payment.

                  (c) EFFECT OF DIFFERENT BENEFICIARIES UNDER THIS PLAN AND THE
CASH BALANCE PLAN. In the event the Beneficiary designated hereunder for the
Excess Pension Benefit is different than the Beneficiary under the Cash Balance
Plan, (i) if the Beneficiary hereunder dies after the Participant but while the
Beneficiary under the Cash Balance Plan is still living, any remaining payments
hereunder shall be payable, as they come due, to the estate of the Beneficiary
hereunder and (ii) if the Beneficiary hereunder predeceases the Beneficiary
under the Cash Balance Plan and the Participant, the Beneficiary hereunder shall
revert to the Beneficiary last effectively designated under the Cash Balance
Plan unless and until the Participant again makes a change of Beneficiary
pursuant to Section 7.2.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

                  SECTION 8.1. LIABILITY OF COMPANY. Nothing in this Plan shall
constitute the creation of a trust or other fiduciary relationship between the
Company and any Participant, Beneficiary or any other person.

                  SECTION 8.2. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS AND
BENEFICIARIES - NO LIEN. The Plan is designed to be an unfunded, nonqualified
plan. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create a trust or lien in
favor of any Participant or Beneficiary on any assets of the Company. The
Company shall have no obligation to purchase any assets that do not remain
subject to the claims of the creditors of the Company for use in connection with
the Plan. No Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the
Company prior to the time that such assets are paid to the Participant or
Beneficiary as provided herein. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the
status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

                  SECTION 8.3. NO GUARANTEE OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan
shall be construed as guaranteeing future employment to Participants. A
Participant continues to be an Employee of the Company solely at the will of the
Company subject to discharge at any time, with or without cause.

                  SECTION 8.4. PAYMENT TO GUARDIAN. If a benefit payable
hereunder is payable to a minor, to a person declared 



                                       12
<PAGE>   14

incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his
property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such benefit to the
guardian, legal representative or person having the care and custody of such
minor, incompetent or person. The Plan Administrator may require such proof of
incompetency, minority, incapacity or guardianship as it may deem appropriate
prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely
discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit.

                  SECTION 8.5. ASSIGNMENT. No right or interest under this Plan
of any Participant or Beneficiary shall be assignable or transferable in any
manner or be subject to alienation, anticipation, sale, pledge, encumbrance or
other legal process or in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts or
liabilities of the Participant or Beneficiary.

                  SECTION 8.6. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Plan or
the application thereof to any circumstance(s) or person(s) is held to be
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Plan and the
application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be
affected thereby.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                             ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
                             ----------------------

                  SECTION 9.1. ADMINISTRATION. (a) IN GENERAL. The Plan shall be
administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have sole
and absolute discretion to interpret where necessary all provisions of the Plan
(including, without limitation, by supplying omissions from, correcting
deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of
the Plan), to determine the rights and status under the Plan of Participants, or
other persons, to resolve questions or disputes arising under the Plan and to
make any determinations with respect to the benefits payable under the Plan and
the persons entitled thereto as may be necessary for the purposes of the Plan.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Plan Administrator is
hereby granted the authority (i) to determine whether a particular Employee is a
Participant, and (ii) to determine if an Employee is entitled to Excess
Retirement Benefits hereunder and, if so, the amount and duration of such
Benefits. The Plan Administrator's determination of the rights of any Employee
or former Employee hereunder shall be final and binding on all persons, subject
only to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4 hereof.

                  (b) DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Plan Administrator may delegate
any of its administrative duties, including, without limitation, duties with
respect to the processing, review, investigation, approval and payment of Excess
Retirement Benefits, to a named administrator or administrators.




                                       13
<PAGE>   15
                  SECTION 9.2. REGULATIONS. The Plan Administrator shall
promulgate any rules and regulations it deems necessary in order to carry out
the purposes of the Plan or to interpret the provisions of the Plan; provided,
however, that no rule, regulation or interpretation shall be contrary to the
provisions of the Plan. The rules, regulations and interpretations made by the
Plan Administrator shall, subject only to the provisions of Sections 9.3 and 9.4
hereof, be final and binding on all persons.

                  SECTION 9.3. CLAIMS PROCEDURES. The Plan Administrator shall
determine the rights of any Employee or former Employee to any Excess Retirement
Benefits hereunder. Any Employee or former Employee who believes that he has not
received the Excess Retirement Benefits to which he is entitled under the Plan
may file a claim in writing with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator
shall, no later than 90 days after the receipt of a claim (plus an additional
period of 90 days if required for processing, provided that notice of the
extension of time is given to the claimant within the first 90 day period),
either allow or deny the claim in writing. If a claimant does not receive
written notice of the Plan Administrator's decision on his claim within the
above-mentioned period, the claim shall be deemed to have been denied in full.

                  A written denial of a claim by the Plan Administrator, wholly
or partially, shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
claimant and shall include:

                  (a)      the specific reasons for the denial;

                  (b)      specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on
                           which the denial is based;

                  (c)      a description of any additional material or
                           information necessary for the claimant to perfect the
                           claim and an explanation of why such material or
                           information is necessary; and

                  (d)      an explanation of the claim review procedure.

                  A claimant whose claim is denied (or his duly authorized
representative) may within 60 days after receipt of denial of a claim file with
the Plan Administrator a written request for a review of such claim. If the
claimant does not file a request for review of his claim within such 60-day
period, the claimant shall be deemed to have acquiesced in the original decision
of the Plan Administrator on his claim. If such an appeal is so filed within
such 60 day period, the Company (or its delegate) shall conduct a full and fair
review of such claim. During such review, the claimant shall be given the
opportunity to review documents that are pertinent to his claim and to submit
issues and comments in writing.

                  The Company shall mail or deliver to the claimant a written
decision on the matter based on the facts and the 


                                       14
<PAGE>   16

pertinent provisions of the Plan within 60 days after the receipt of the request
for review (unless special circumstances require an extension of up to 60
additional days, in which case written notice of such extension shall be given
to the claimant prior to the commencement of such extension). Such decision
shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, shall
state the specific reasons for the decision and the specific Plan provisions on
which the decision was based and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be final
and binding on all interested persons. If the decision on review is not
furnished to the claimant within the above-mentioned time period, the claim
shall be deemed to have been denied on review.

                  SECTION 9.4. REVOCABILITY OF PLAN ADMINISTRATOR/ COMPANY
ACTION. Any action taken by the Plan Administrator or the Company with respect
to the rights or benefits under the Plan of any Employee or former Employee
shall be revocable by the Plan Administrator or the Company as to payments not
yet made to such person, and acceptance of any Excess Retirement Benefits under
the Plan constitutes acceptance of and agreement to the Plan Administrator's or
the Company's making any appropriate adjustments in future payments to such
person (or to recover from such person) any excess payment or underpayment
previously made to him.

                  SECTION 9.5. AMENDMENT. The Nominating, Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Committee") may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of this Plan,
except that (a) no such amendment may adversely affect any Participant's vested
Excess Retirement Benefit as of the date of such amendment and (b) no such
amendment may suspend the crediting of earnings on the balance of a
Participant's Account, until the entire balance of such Account has been
distributed, in either case, without the prior written consent of the affected
Participant. Any amendment shall be in the form of a written instrument executed
by an officer of the Company on the order of the Committee. Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section, such amendment shall become effective as
of the date specified in such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on
the date of its execution.

                  SECTION 9.6.  TERMINATION.

                  (a) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may terminate this
Plan at any time and for any reason whatsoever, except that (i) no such
termination may adversely affect any Participant's vested Excess Retirement
Benefit as of the date of such termination and (ii) no such termination may
suspend the crediting of earnings on the balance of a Participant's Account,
until the entire balance of such Account has been distributed, in either case,
without the prior written consent of the affected Participant. Any such
termination shall be expressed in the form of a written instrument executed by
an officer of the Company on the order of the Committee. Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section, such termination shall become effective as
of 



                                       15
<PAGE>   17

the date specified in such instrument or, if no such date is specified, on the
date of its execution. Written notice of any termination shall be given to the
Participants as soon as practicable after the instrument is executed.

                  (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in
the event of a termination of the Plan (or any portion thereof), the Company, in
its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to change the time and
form of distribution of Participants' Excess Retirement Benefits.

          Executed, this 23rd day of December, 1996, to be effective
January 1, 1997.

                       HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX, INC.

                       ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
                       ----------------------------------

GENERAL
- -------

Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. (the "Company") has established an Annual
Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") as part of a competitive compensation
program for the Officers and key management employees of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

PLAN OBJECTIVE
- --------------

The Company desires to attract and retain talented employees to enable the
Company to meet its financial and business objectives. The objective of the Plan
is to provide an opportunity to earn annual incentive compensation to those
employees whose performance has a significant impact on the Company's short-term
and long-term profitability.

ADMINISTRATION AND PARTICIPATION
- --------------------------------

The Plan is administered by the Nominating, Organization and Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee"). The
Committee:

         a.       May amend, modify, or discontinue the Plan.

         b.       Will approve participation in the Plan. Generally,
                  participants will include all employees in Hat Salary Jobs
                  Grades 14 and above. Employees who voluntarily terminate their
                  employment prior to year-end are not entitled to an award, and
                  employees joining the Company after August of any year will
                  not be entitled to an award. However, the Committee may select
                  any employee who has contributed significantly to the
                  Company's profitability to participate in the Plan and receive
                  an annual incentive compensation award.

         c.       Will determine the annual performance criteria which generates
                  the incentive compensation pool.

         d.       Will determine the total amount of both the target and actual
                  annual incentive compensation pool.

         e.       Will approve individual incentive compensation awards to
                  Officers and employees above Hay Salary Job Grade 17.

         f.       May delegate to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company the
                  power to approve incentive compensation awards to employees in
                  and below Hay Salary Job Grade 17.

         g.       May consider at the end of each year the award of a
                  discretionary bonus amount to non-participants as an addition
                  to the regular incentive compensation poll on a special
                  one-time basis to motivate individuals not eligible to
                  participate in the Plan.

         h.       May approve a pro rata incentive compensation award for
                  participants in the Plan whose employment is terminated (1)
                  due to death, disability, retirement or facility closure, such
                  award to be determined pursuant to the provisions of
                  subparagraphs e. and f. above or (2) under other circumstances
                  at the recommendation of the Chief Financial Officer of the
                  Company.

DETERMINATION OF CORPORATE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION POOL
- ------------------------------------------------------

Each participant in the Plan will have an individual target incentive
compensation percentage which is determined by the participant's Salary Job
Grade. This percentage is multiplied by the midpoint of the participant's Salary
Job Grade to determine his individual target incentive compensation award. The
total of the target incentive compensation awards of all participants equals the
target corporate incentive compensation pool (the "Target Pool"). The Target
Pool is approved each year by the Committee.

The actual corporate incentive compensation pool (the "Actual Pool") is
determined at the end of each year based on the Company's actual performance
against specific criteria established in the beginning of the year by the
Committee. The Target Pool is adjusted upwards or downwards by corporate
performance adjustment factor to determine the Actual Pool. In no event will the
Actual Pool exceed 150% of the Target Pool, except to the extent that the
Committee elects to increase the Actual Pool by up to 10%, as described below.

It is the intent of the Plan that the Actual Pool, as determined above, will by
the final total corporate incentive compensation pool. However, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may increase or decrease by up to 10% the Actual Pool or
may approve an incentive compensation pool where there would normally be no poll
due to Company performance which is below the criteria established for the year.

The Actual and Target Pools exclude commission personnel as salespersons,
regional general manager and manufacturing representatives.

DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AWARDS
- ---------------------------------------------------------

Salary Job Grades and the corresponding target incentive percentage for each
participant in the Plan will be established at the beginning of each year and
approved by the Committee. Individual target incentive compensation will then be
adjusted by the appropriate pool factor. Such adjusted individual incentive
compensation will then be further modified based on a participant's performance
as compared to his individual goals for the year. The total of all individual
incentive compensation awards must not exceed the Actual Pool for the year.

Note 1--          Per share earnings have been computed and reported to the
                  stockholders pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15, which provides
                  that "any reduction of less than 3% in the aggregate need not
                  be considered as dilution in the computation and presentation
                  of earnings per share data."

Note 2--          Dilutive stock options are calculated based on the
                  treasury stock method. For primary per share earnings the
                  average market price is used. For fully diluted per share
                  earnings the year-end market price, if higher than the average
                  market price, is used.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders of NACCO Industries, Inc.:

      We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NACCO
Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedules 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of NACCO Industries, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in Item 14(a)(1) and (2) and
Item 14(d) of Form 10-K are the responsibility of the Company's management and
are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all material
respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

       (TABULAR DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PERCENTAGE DATA)

NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company has four operating subsidiaries which function in distinct business
environments; forklift truck manufacturing and service parts distribution, small
electric appliance manufacturing, mining and retail.

NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. ("NMHG"), 98 percent-owned by NACCO,
designs, manufactures and markets forklift trucks and related service parts
under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand names. NMHG's manufacturing plants are
located primarily in the United States and Europe. In addition, NMHG has
manufacturing facilities in Japan through its 50-percent-owned Japanese joint
venture, Sumitomo-NACCO ("S-N"). While NMHG's market position is strongest in
North America, it also has a significant presence in Europe and a growing
position in Asia-Pacific.

Hamilton Beach-Proctor-Silex, Inc. ("HB-PS") designs, manufactures and markets
small electric appliances covering approximately 80 percent of the small kitchen
electric appliance market. Effective October 18, 1996, HB-PS became a wholly
owned subsidiary when NACCO purchased the remaining 20 percent minority interest
from the previous minority shareholder. The effect of this transaction was not
material to NACCO's financial position or results of operations. HB-PS
manufactures the majority of its products at its plants located in North America
and also sources some of its products from the Far East. The company primarily
sells its products to retailers and distributors in North America.

The North American Coal Corporation ("NACoal"), wholly owned by NACCO, mines and
markets lignite for use primarily as fuel for power generation by electric
utilities. The company operates four surface lignite mines, two in North Dakota
and one each in Texas and Louisiana. Each of these lignite mines operates under
long-term contracts to sell lignite at a price based on actual costs plus an
agreed pretax profit per ton. In addition, NACoal provides dragline mining
services at a limerock quarry in Florida.

The Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("KCI"), wholly owned by NACCO, is a national
specialty retailer of kitchenware and small electric appliances with stores
located primarily in factory outlet malls KCI operates stores under the Kitchen
Collection(R) and Hearthstone(TM) names and sells brand-name kitchenware,
tableware, small electric appliances and related accessories.

NOTE 2--ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO," the parent company) and its
majority owned subsidiaries (NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries - the
"Company"). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities (if
any) at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

NOTE 2-- ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for manufacturing
inventories in the United States and under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method
with respect to all other inventories.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at
cost. Depreciation, depletion and amortization are provided in amounts
sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets (including assets recorded under
capital leases) over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line
method. The units-of-production method is used to amortize certain coal-related
assets based on estimated recoverable tonnages.

GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value
of the net assets acquired. The amortization of goodwill is determined on a
straight-line basis over a 40-year period. Accumulated amortization of goodwill
was $106.2 million and $90.8 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management regularly evaluates its accounting for goodwill
considering such factors as historical and future profitability and believes
that the asset is realizable and the amortization period remains appropriate.

REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues are recognized when customer orders are complete
and shipped. Accruals for the cost of product warranties are maintained for
anticipated future claims.

ADVERTISING COSTS: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to
$33.6 million in 1996, $32.6 million in 1995 and $26.2 million in 1994.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Expenses associated with the development of new
products and changes to existing products are charged to expense as incurred.
These costs amounted to $27.0 million, $27.5 million and $25.9 million in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY: Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated
into U.S. dollars at the fiscal year-end exchange rate. The related translation
adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing
during the year.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Financial
instruments held by the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, revolving credit agreements, long-term debt,
interest rate swap agreements and forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The fair values of these financial instruments have been determined using quoted
market sources and management estimates. The Company does not hold or issue
financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts with terms
of one to twelve months. These contracts hedge certain foreign currency
denominated receivables and payables and foreign currency commitments. Gains and
losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized as part of the cost of the
underlying transaction being hedged.

The Company also enters into interest rate swap agreements with terms ranging
from three months to seven years. The difference between the floating interest
rate and fixed interest rate which is to be paid or received is recognized in
interest expense as the floating interest rate changes over the life of the
agreement.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: The calculation of net income per share is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

NOTE 2-- ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD: In October 1996, the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 96-1
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities." This statement provides guidance on the
recognition and measurement of environmental remediation liabilities incurred as
a result of threatened litigation or actual assessment. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this statement, which is required in fiscal 1997, to have
a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in the prior periods' consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's
presentation.

NOTE 3--EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS

EXTRAORDINARY GAIN - UMWA OBLIGATION

The extraordinary gain of $32.3 million recognized in 1995, net of $19.8 million
in taxes, relates to a downward revision in the obligation to the United Mine
Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund ("UMWA"). This obligation was
recognized by The Bellaire Corporation ("Bellaire," a wholly owned non-operating
subsidiary of NACCO) as an extraordinary charge in 1992 to accrue for the
estimated costs associated with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of
1992 ("Coal Act"), which is discussed in more detail in Note 9 on page F-16. It
is the Company's policy to periodically review the estimates and assumptions
upon which various liability reserves are based. As a result of a review of the
assumptions relating to the number of Company and industry covered beneficiaries
ultimately assigned to Bellaire, and the trend of health care costs, the
aggregate estimated costs associated with the Coal Act are expected to be lower
than originally anticipated. Management believes that the liability, revised to
$69.3 million, net of deferred taxes, in 1995, more accurately represents the
future cost of this obligation.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES - EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

The extraordinary charges recognized in 1995 and 1994 relate to the write-off of
premiums and unamortized financing fees. The 1995 extraordinary charge includes
a $1.3 million charge in the first quarter for unamortized financing fees when
NMHG's former revolving credit facility and senior term loan were replaced by a
new long-term revolving credit facility. The retirement of $78.5 million and
$70.0 million face-value Hyster-Yale 12 3/8% debentures in 1995 and 1994,
respectively, resulted in charges of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1995
and $3.2 million in 1994 due to the write-off of premiums and unamoritized
financing fees. These retirements were achieved using internally generated funds
of NMHG and equity infusions from existing stockholders.

NMHG: NMHG's credit agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit
facility ("NMHG Facility") that permits advances up to $350.0 million. A portion
of the outstanding balance is classified as long-term because it is not expected
to be repaid during the subsequent fiscal year. The company entered into the
NMHG Facility in 1995 to replace its former bank agreement and to refinance the
majority of its previously outstanding long-term debt. The expiration date of
the NMHG Facility (which was extended to June 2001 during 1996) may be extended,
on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual consent of NMHG and
the bank group. In addition, the NMHG Facility has performance-based pricing
which sets interest rates based upon achievement of certain financial
performance targets. The NMHG Facility currently provides for, at the company's
option, Euro-Dollar Loans which bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.3 percent and
Money Market Loans which bear interest at Auction Rates (as defined in the
agreement) and requires a 0.2 percent fee on the available borrowings. NMHG also
has separate facilities totaling $35.7 and $30.5 million at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively, of which $27.9 million and $26.5 million was available
at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 6--REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS - Continued

HB-PS: HB-PS's credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility ("HB-PS
Facility") that permits advances up to $160.0 million and is secured by
substantially all assets of HB-PS. A portion of the outstanding balance is
classified as long-term because it is not expected to be repaid during the
subsequent fiscal year. The expiration date of the HB-PS Facility (which was
extended to May 1999 during 1996) may be extended, on an annual basis, for one
additional year upon the mutual consent of HB-PS and the bank group. In 1995 the
HB-PS Facility was amended to provide a lower interest rate if HB-PS achieves a
certain interest coverage ratio, and to allow for interest rates quoted under a
competitive bid option. The HB-PS Facility currently provides for interest at
LIBOR plus 0.3 percent and requires a 0.2 percent facility fee on the available
borrowings. At December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, HB-PS also had $25.0
million available under separate facilities, of which $23.9 million and $25.0
million was available at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NACOAL: NACoal has in place a revolving credit facility ("NACoal Facility") that
permits advances up to $50.0 million and requires a 0.2 percent commitment and
facility fee. The expiration date of the NACoal Facility (which was extended to
September 2001 during 1996) may be extended, on an annual basis, for one
additional year upon the mutual consent of NACoal and the bank group. Borrowings
bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.4 percent.

KCI: KCI has in place a revolving credit facility ("KCI Facility") that permits
advances up to $5.0 million and requires a 0.2 percent facility fee. The
expiration date of the KCI Facility (which was extended to May 1999 during 1996)
may be extended, on an annual basis, for one additional year upon the mutual
consent of KCI and the bank group. Borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime
rate, money market rate or LIBOR rate plus a base rate margin of 0.4 to 1.2
percent, as determined by certain performance measures.

NOTE 7--LONG-TERM DEBT - Continued

The credit agreements for NMHG, HB-PS, NACoal and KCI contain certain covenants
and restrictions. Covenants require, among other things, some or all of the
following: maintenance of certain minimum amounts of net worth and certain
specified ratios of working capital, debt to capitalization, interest coverage
and fixed charge coverage. These ratios are calculated at the subsidiary level.
Restrictions include limits on capital expenditures and dividends. At December
31, 1996, the subsidiaries were in compliance with all of the covenants in their
credit agreements.

NOTE 8--OBLIGATIONS OF PROJECT MINING SUBSIDIARIES

NACoal's project mining subsidiaries have entered into long-term contracts with
various utility customers to provide lignite at a sales price based on cost plus

financing for the development and operation of these subsidiary mines. The
obligations of these project mining subsidiaries included in the Company's

During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the project mining subsidiaries incurred capital
lease obligations of $1.8 million, $18.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively,
in connection with lease agreements to acquire plant and equipment.

The above obligations are secured by substantially all owned assets of the
respective project mining subsidiary and the assignment of all rights under its
coal sales agreement.

</TABLE>

The closed mine obligations relate to Bellaire's former eastern U.S. underground
mining operations and the Indian Head Mine, which ceased operations in 1992.
Included in these obligations is the obligation to UMWA which resulted from the
Coal Act. The Coal Act requires Bellaire to incur additional costs for retiree
medical expenses of certain United Mine Worker retirees. Annual cash payments of
up to $3.0 million after tax are expected relating to this obligation and could
continue for as long as 40 to 50 years. The Company has recorded this obligation
on an undiscounted basis. The reserve for future interest represents the portion
of this reserve comprising interest costs. In addition, the closed mine
obligations include reserves for land reclamation and site treatment at certain
closed eastern underground and western surface mines, as well as reserves for
workers compensation and black lung benefit costs.

The other self-insurance reserves primarily include product liability reserves,
employee retirement benefit obligations and other miscellaneous reserves.

NOTE 10--LEASE COMMITMENTS

Future minimum operating lease payments, excluding project mining subsidiaries,
at December 31, 1996, are as follows:

NOTE 11--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is cash or a contract that imposes an obligation to
deliver, or conveys a right to receive, cash or another financial instrument.
The fair value of financial instruments approximated carrying values at December
31, 1996 and 1995. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and
derivatives. Concentration of credit risk on accounts receivable is mitigated by
the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their
dispersion across many different industries and geographies. The Company enters
into derivative contracts with high-quality institutions and limits the amount
of credit exposure to any one institution.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES: The Company's operating subsidiaries enter into
interest rate swap agreements ("swaps"). These swaps allow the subsidiaries to
enter into long-term credit agreements that have performance-based, floating
rates of interest and then exchange them for fixed rates, as opposed to entering
into higher cost fixed-rate credit arrangements. The following table summarizes
the notional amounts, related rates (including applicable margins) and remaining
terms on swaps outstanding at December 31, 1996:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES: NMHG and HB-PS enter into forward foreign currency
exchange contracts for purposes of hedging their exposure to foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations. These contracts hedge primarily firm commitments
and, to a lesser degree, forecasted commitments relating to cash flows
associated with sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. NMHG and
HB-PS had forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding in the amounts
of $61.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 1996, primarily
denominated in Japanese yen, Australian dollars, French francs and Canadian
dollars. At December 31, 1995, NMHG and HB-PS had forward foreign currency
exchange contracts outstanding in the amounts of $293.2 million and $3.8
million, respectively, primarily denominated in Japanese yen, British pounds
sterling, French francs and Canadian dollars. The amount of deferred loss on
these contracts at December 31, 1996 was not material.

NOTE 12--CONTINGENCIES

Various legal proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO
and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of its business, including
product liability and environmental claims. These proceedings are incidental to
their ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious
defenses and will vigorously defend itself in these actions. Any costs that
management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when
the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently
determinable, management believes, after consultation with its General Counsel,
that the likelihood that material costs will be incurred in excess of accruals
already recognized is remote.

NMHG is subject to recourse or repurchase obligations under various financing
arrangements for certain independently owned retail dealerships at December 31,
1996. Also, certain dealer loans are guaranteed by NMHG. When NMHG is the
guarantor of the principal amount financed, a security interest is usually
maintained in certain assets of parties for whom NMHG is guaranteeing debt.
Total amounts subject to

recourse or repurchase obligation at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $125.6
million and $100.8 million, respectively. Losses anticipated under the terms of
the recourse or repurchase obligations are not significant and have been
reserved for in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13--COMMON STOCK

The Class A common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has
10 votes per share. The total number of authorized shares of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock at December 31, 1996, was 25,000,000 shares and
6,756,176 shares, respectively. Treasury shares of Class A stock totaling
1,597,447 and 817,418 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, have been
deducted from shares issued.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM: In 1996, the board of directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 1.5 million shares of the Company's Class A common stock.
Pursuant to this authorization, the Company commenced an issuer tender offer
(the "Offer") on November 18, 1996 for the purchase of up to 800,000 Class A
common shares at prices of $43.50 to $50.00 per share. The Offer resulted in the
repurchase of 800,000 shares on December 23, 1996, at $50.00 per share. The
$40.4 million cost of this transaction, including fees and expenses, was
financed using cash on hand and the Company's revolving credit facilities. In
addition to the Offer, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 700,000
shares of Class A common stock through an open market share repurchase program
over the next two fiscal years.

The following table summarizes selected unaudited pro forma financial
information assuming that the 800,000 share Offer had occurred at the beginning

STOCK OPTIONS: The 1975 and 1981 stock option plans as amended provide for the
granting to officers and other key employees options to purchase Class A and
Class B common stock of the Company at a price not less than the market value of
such stock at the date of grant. Options become exercisable over a four-year
period and expire 10 years from the date of the grant. At December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, all stock options outstanding were exercisable.

At December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, there were 80,701 Class A shares and 80,100
Class B shares available for grant. No options were granted or exercised during
1996 and 1995. In addition, no options were granted during 1994; however, 8,200
Class A shares and 2,700 Class B shares were exercised. At December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 there were options outstanding relating to 5,800 Class A shares
with an option price of $32.00 that were granted on January 12, 1989, and 25,000
Class A shares at an option price of $35.56 granted on March 1, 1989. The
Company does not intend to issue additional stock options.

The Company applies AICPA Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for stock options.
Since there have been no options granted in fiscal years 1996 and 1995, no
additional pro forma disclosures are required as provided in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation."

</TABLE>

Domestic income before income taxes has been reduced by all of the amortization
of goodwill and substantially all interest expense.

The Company made income tax payments of $40.2 million, $48.9 million and $29.0
million during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the same period, income
tax refunds totaled $3.3 million, $3.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had cumulative undistributed foreign earnings
of $120.7 million, of which the Company intends to permanently reinvest $45.5
million. The Company has determined that it is not practicable to estimate the
amount of taxes on these permanently reinvested earnings. It is the Company's
policy to provide income taxes on cumulative undistributed foreign earnings
where it is anticipated that a distribution of such earnings is likely to occur.
The distributable foreign earnings of $75.2 million can be remitted without a
material charge to earnings.

The amount of withholding taxes imposed by foreign jurisdictions that would be
payable upon remittance of all undistributed foreign earnings would be $6.3
million. These withholding taxes, subject to certain limitations, may be used to
reduce U.S. income taxes.

In 1996 and 1995 the Company reached agreements with various tax authorities
resulting in non-recurring tax benefits of $1.2 million and $3.1 million,
respectively. Additionally, the Company recognized a non-recurring tax benefit
of $2.5 million in 1995 from the remittance of earnings of foreign subsidiaries
subject to rates of tax in excess of the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are currently under examination by
various taxing authorities. The Company has not been informed of any material
assessment resulting from these examinations and will vigorously contest any
material assessment. Management believes that any potential adjustment would not
materially affect future earnings.

NOTE 15--RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS: The Company maintains various defined benefit pension
plans covering most of its employees. These plans provide benefits based on
years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company's
policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by
the applicable regulations. Contributions to the various plans were $12.6
million in 1996, $5.6 million in 1995 and $6.9 million in 1994. Plan assets
consist primarily of publicly traded stocks, investment contracts and government
and corporate bonds.

Set forth below is a detail of consolidated worldwide net periodic pension
expense and the assumptions used in accounting for the United States defined
benefit plans for the year ended December 31. The United Kingdom plans used
assumptions that are consistent with, but not identical to, those used by the
United States plans.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of
The North American Coal Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The North
American Coal Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash
flows for the years then ended. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The North American Coal
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular Amounts In Thousands)

December 31, 1996 and 1995

NOTE A--ORGANIZATION

The North American Coal Corporation ("Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of
NACCO Industries, Inc. ("Parent Company"). The Company is the owner of The
Coteau Properties Company ("Coteau"), The Falkirk Mining Company ("Falkirk"),
The Sabine Mining Company ("Sabine"), Red River Mining Company, its joint
venture, ("Red River Mining"), and North American Coal Royalty Company. The
Company is principally engaged in lignite mining through the operation of
surface mines in North Dakota, Texas and Louisiana. The Company also operates a
dragline at a limestone quarry in Florida.

Three of the Company's consolidated coal mining subsidiaries were organized to
assume sales agreements with public utilities. All of the coal of these
subsidiaries is sold to these public utilities pursuant to long-term contracts
with terms up to 20 years and with extensions at the public utilities option.
The sales prices provided by such contracts are based on cost, plus a profit per
ton. As each mining subsidiary has a contract to provide coal to its customer, a
significant portion of their revenue is derived from a single source. The
financial position of the mining subsidiary and the Company could be materially
impacted if the relationship with the customer was terminated or altered.

In December 1996, the Company was the successful bidder for a long-term coal
mining project in south Texas, the San Miguel Lignite Project. The Company will
provide mining services to San Miguel Electric Cooperative, Inc.'s lignite mine
in Texas under a contract for 10.5 years, beginning on July 1, 1997. The Company
expects to deliver to San Miguel Electric Cooperative approximately 1.8 million
tons in 1997 and approximately 3 million tons annually through 2007.

NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its joint venture.
Intercompany accounts have been eliminated.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents are investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less.

INVENTORIES: Supply inventories are stated at average cost. Coal inventories are
stated at the lower of cost or market.

COSTS RECOVERABLE UNDER SALES CONTRACTS: The coal sales agreements
("Agreements") of three subsidiaries provided for selling prices which allowed
a profit during the defined development period of the mines. Production costs
incurred during the development period in excess of the established selling
price, as set forth in the Agreements, were deferred and are being recovered as
a cost of coal tonnage sold after the development period. Recoveries of these
costs amounted to approximately $890,000 and $1,160,000 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and are included in net sales in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 1996 and 1995




NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES --continued

DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION: Depreciation, depletion and
amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of related
assets (including assets recorded under capitalized lease obligations) over
their estimated range of useful lives and are calculated by either the
straight-line method or the units-of-production method based on estimated
recoverable tonnage.

RECLAMATION COSTS: Under certain federal and state regulations, the Company's
subsidiaries are required to reclaim land disturbed as a result of mining.
Reclamation of disturbed land is a continuous process throughout the term of the
related Agreements. Current reclamation costs are being recovered as a cost of
coal tonnage sold. Costs to complete reclamation after mining has been completed
are reimbursed under the Agreements.

PRIOR YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1995 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The fair values of
financial instruments have been determined through information obtained from
quoted market sources and management estimates. The Company does not hold or
issue financial instruments or derivative financial instruments for trading
purposes. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with terms
ranging from one to six years. The differential between the floating interest
rate and the fixed interest rate which is to be paid or received is recognized
in interest expense as the floating interest rate changes over the life of the
agreement.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS: During fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of." This statement had no material effect on the Company's
accompanying financial statements.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING METHOD: In 1996, the mines converted to a new
inventory/purchasing system. The conversion resulted in a change from the
first-in, first-out method to the average cost method of the supply inventory
valuation. As of December 31, 1996, average cost approximated first-in, first
out. The cumulative effect is immaterial to the financial statements.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE: Due to the extension of Falkirk's contract with
its customers, Falkirk extended the estimated useful lives of preproduction
costs and fixed assets.

</TABLE>

The Company's revolving credit agreement includes certain financial covenants.
The Company was in compliance with such covenants at December 31, 1996.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements which allow the Company to
enter into long-term credit arrangements that have performance based, floating
rates of interest and then swap them into fixed rates as opposed to entering
into higher cost fixed-rate credit arrangements. These agreements are with major
commercial banks; therefore, the risk of credit loss from nonperformance by the
banks is minimal. The Company evaluates its exposure to floating rate debt on an
ongoing basis. The following table summarizes the notional amount and related
rate on the interest rate swap agreement outstanding at December 31, 1996:

The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a defined contribution plan
sponsored by the Company which covers substantially all salaried employees. The
plan provides for employee contributions to be matched, by the respective
company, up to a limit of 5% of the employee's salary. Company contributions to
the plan were approximately $2,773,000 and $2,515,000 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

NOTE I--OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The expected cost of retirement benefits other than pensions is charged to
expense during the years that the employees render service. Under the provisions
of the Agreements of three subsidiaries, costs will be recovered as a cost of
coal tonnage sold. Because SFAS 106 is not material to the Company's results of
operations and financial condition, the detailed disclosures required by SFAS
106 have not been presented.

Coteau and Sabine established Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association
(VEBA) trusts in 1993 to provide for such future retirement benefits. Coteau and
Sabine made cash contributions to the VEBA trusts of approximately $364,000 and
$462,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Contributions made to an IRS approved
VEBA trust are irrevocable and must be used for employee benefits.

NOTE J--COMMITMENTS

Certain mining equipment leased by Coteau, Falkirk, and Sabine is capitalized
for financial statement purposes. Under the provisions of the Agreements, the
customer is required to pay, as part of the cost of coal purchased, an amount
equal to the annual lease payments. Interest expense and amortization in excess
of annual lease payments are deferred and are recognized in years when annual
lease payments exceed interest expense and amortization.

Interest paid on notes and capitalized lease obligations amounted to
approximately $13,775,000 and $15,841,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Assets recorded under capitalized lease obligations are included with property,
plant and equipment and consist of the following:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

December 31, 1996 and 1995

Rental expenses for all operating leases amounted to approximately $2,000,000
and $992,000 during 1996 and 1995, respectively.

At December 31, 1996, the unexpended portion of capital expenditures authorized
by the respective boards of directors, and customers where required, of the
Company and its subsidiaries approximated $54,188,000, of which $49,361,000 is
being financed under the arrangements with public utilities served by the
subsidiaries.

NOTE K--INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated federal income
tax return filed by the Parent Company. The Company and each of its subsidiaries
entered into a tax-sharing agreement with the Parent Company under which federal
income taxes are computed by the Company and each of its subsidiaries on a
separate return basis. The current portion of such tax is paid to the Parent
Company. During 1996 and 1995, the federal and state income taxes paid by the
Company were approximately $8,464,000 and $12,122,000, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate
primarily due to state income taxes and percentage depletion.

Provision for income taxes consists of the following:

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. 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 an 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc., and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

              HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES


                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
                             (Dollars in Thousands)



1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS:
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada
and Mexico (the "Company"), design, manufacture, and sell small consumer
electric appliances. The principal markets for the Company's products are the
United States and Canada. The Company's products are sold primarily to retailers
and distributors. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of HB/PS Holdings,
Inc. ("Holdings"). Through October 17, 1996, Holdings was owned 80 percent by
NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO"), and 20 percent by Glen Dimplex. Effective
October 18, 1996, Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO (see Note
3). 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have
been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid investments
with initial maturities of three months or less.

INVENTORIES, NET 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined
by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for substantially all inventories
accounted for in the United States and under the first-in, first-out method for
all other inventories.

- -6-
<PAGE>   9


PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost. All property, plant, and
equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of
up to 40 years for buildings and 4 to 6 years for machinery and equipment.
Assets recorded under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized
over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or remaining lease terms on a
straight-line basis. 

GOODWILL 
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods up to 40
years. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have
occurred subsequent to its acquisitions that indicate the remaining estimated
useful life of goodwill may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of
goodwill may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill should be
evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the Company's
undiscounted cash flow over the remaining life of the goodwill in measuring
whether the goodwill is recoverable.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Costs associated with the development of new products and changes to existing
products are charged to operations as incurred. These costs amounted to $3,690
and $3,304 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

ADVERTISING COSTS
Promotional or advertising costs associated with customer support programs are
accrued when the related revenues are recognized. All other costs incurred in
producing media advertising are expensed at the time the advertising takes
place. Promotional and advertising costs charged to expense were $26,270 and
$26,465 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 
Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at
current exchange rates, while income and expense items are translated at average
rates for the period. Translation gains and losses associated with the Company's
Canadian subsidiary are reported as a component of stockholder's equity.
Translation gains and losses related to the Company's subsidiaries located in
Mexico are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

PRODUCT LIABILITY 
The Company is insured for product liability claims for amounts in excess of
established self-insured retention limits. Costs estimated to be incurred with
respect to product liability claims are accrued based on experience factors.

<PAGE>   10


SELF-INSURANCE
The Company maintains a self-insurance program for health claims and a high
deductible insurance program for workers' compensation claims of all covered
employees. Losses are accrued based on the Company's estimate of future costs
that will be incurred for employee losses incurred prior to the balance sheet
date.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 
The Company's financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, payables,
debt, interest rate agreements, and foreign currency contracts. The estimated
fair values of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 1996 and
1995, approximate their carrying value as reflected in the consolidated balance
sheets (see Note 10). The estimated fair values of financial instruments have
been determined through information obtained from quoted market sources and
management estimates. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments
or derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to
hedge certain foreign currency commitments. Gains and losses from these
contracts are deferred and are recognized as part of the cost of the underlying
transaction being hedged. 

The Company also enters into interest rate swap agreements with various terms
and maturity dates. The differential between the floating interest rate and the
fixed interest rate that is to be paid or received is recognized in interest
expense on a current basis.

3. ACQUISITION OF SHAREHOLDER INTEREST: 
On October 18, 1996, Holdings, through its parent company, Housewares Holding
Company ("Housewares"), purchased Glen Dimplex's 20 percent ownership interest
in Holdings for $33,606. The purchase was established based upon provisions
included in the Shareholder Agreement dated October 11, 1990, among Housewares,
Holdings, and Hamilton Beach, Inc. The purchase of the Glen Dimplex shares was
effected via a dividend by the Company to Holdings in the amount of the purchase
price. The effect of this transaction on the financial statements of the Company
was an increase to retained deficit of $33,606, and an increase to goodwill and
additional paid-in capital of $6,341. The addition to goodwill is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the goodwill
acquired upon the formation of the Company.

4. ACQUISITION: 
On November 30, 1995, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of
Plasticos Sotec, S.A de C.V. ("Sotec"), a Mexican supplier of molded plastic
parts, under the purchase method of accounting. The Company paid net cash of
$1,508 and assumed other liabilities of $350 for the stock and certain assets of
Sotec, plus acquisition costs. Prior to the acquisition, the Company paid $2,650
to terminate the supplier manufacturing arrangement. The goodwill associated
with the acquisition of $2,129 and the amount paid to terminate the supplier
manufacturing arrangement are being amortized over a 25 month period.

8.   DEFERRED CHARGES AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET:

Goodwill amounted to $96,460 and $93,649 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, net of accumulated amortization, and is being amortized over
periods up to 40 years on a straight-line basis. Goodwill amortization expense
amounted to $3,844 and $2,816 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Patents,
trademarks, and other at December 31, 1996 and 1995, amounted to $25 and $1,323,
respectively, net of accumulated amortization, and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over their remaining lives. Total amortization for 1996 and
1995 amounted to $1,287 and $284, respectively. Deferred financing costs at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, amounted to $194 and $778, respectively, net of
accumulated amortization, and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over
the life of the amended and restated credit agreement (see Note 9). Amortization
expense related to deferred financing costs for 1996 and 1995 was $584 and $583,
respectively.

9.   REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENTS:
The Company has a bank credit facility (the "Agreement"), which includes a
revolving credit line and a letter-of-credit facility of up to $160,000 through
May 1999. In April 1995, the Agreement was amended to provide a lower interest
rate and facility fee if the Company achieves certain interest coverage ratios
and to allow for interest rates to be quoted under a competitive bid option. In
October 1996, the Agreement was amended to accommodate the dividend for the
purchase of the Glen Dimplex shares (see Note 3). This amendment increased the
amount available under the Agreement by $25,000 and modified certain required
ratios. The maturity date of the Agreement may, upon mutual consent, be extended
annually for an additional year. As amended, the Agreement allows borrowings to
be made at either (i) the lender's prime rate plus 0.25 percent or (ii) LIBOR
plus 0.75 percent. Additionally, a facility fee of 0.50 percent per annum times
the committed amount of the credit facility is paid to the lender. The borrowing
margins and facility fee rates are subject to reductions based upon the Company
achieving certain predetermined interest coverage ratios. During 1996, the
Company received an average reduction of 0.79 basis points on the combined
borrowing margin plus a facility fee resulting in an average margin over LIBOR
paid of 0.29 percent and an average facility fee paid of 0.17 percent.

The Agreement is secured by substantially all the Company's assets. The
Agreement includes certain covenants requiring, among other things, maintenance
of certain levels of (i) net worth, (ii) debt to total capital, and (iii)
interest coverage. At December 31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with all
the financial covenants of the Agreement. The Company also has in place
uncommitted credit lines, which are secured through and subject to the
Agreement, and which allow for borrowings of up to $20,000 on a daily basis. In
addition, the Company has an unsecured, uncommitted credit line of $5,000.

During 1996 and 1995, total average borrowings outstanding under all debt and
credit agreements were $94,762 and $99,724, at a weighted-average interest rate
of 6.12 percent and 6.58 percent, respectively. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
the weighted average interest rate on all borrowings outstanding was 6.11
percent and 6.23 percent, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 1996 and
1995, outstanding obligations under letters of credit were $4,797 and $4,312,
respectively.

At the option of Housewares, a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO, the Company
may, subject to certain terms and conditions of the Agreement, borrow up to
$35,000 from Housewares. No borrowings were outstanding during 1996 or 1995
under this agreement.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES 
The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to minimize the impact
of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's cash flow and financial results.
The Company has entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to swap
floating rate for fixed rate interest payments. At December 31, 1996, the
notional amount on interest rate swap agreements in effect and expiring on
various dates from March 1999 through November 1999 was $75 million, with the
average variable rate received and the average fixed rate paid during 1996 being
5.96 percent and 6.22 percent, respectively. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate
fair market value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements was $342, based
on quoted market prices received from the Company's swap agreement counter
parties.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES 
The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts for purposes of
hedging its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These
contracts hedge primarily firm commitments and relate to the Canadian dollar. At
December 31, 1996, the Company had foreign currency contracts totaling $2,700,
with various expiration dates through March 10, 1997. The amount of deferred
gain associated with these contracts was not material. All interest rate and
foreign currency derivative agreements are with major commercial banks;
therefore, the risk of credit loss from nonperformance by the banks is minimal.
The Company evaluates its exposure to credit loss on an ongoing basis.

11. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: 
The Company sells its products to retailers and distributors located primarily
in North America and, as a result, maintains significant receivable balances
with its major customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its
customers' financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its
customers. In addition, the Company maintains allowances for potential credit
losses. The Company's five largest customers accounted for approximately 48.6
percent and 46.4 percent of net sales in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
approximately 48.4 percent and 47.0 percent of net accounts receivable at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

12. LEASES: 
The Company leases certain facilities under noncancelable leases expiring at
various dates through 2021. Plant and equipment under capital leases has been
recorded as property, plant, and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets,
and the related amortization is included with depreciation expense. At December
31, property, plant, and equipment includes the following amounts relating to
capital leases.

Future minimum lease payments for capital leases as of December 31, 1996, are as
follows: 1997 - $143; 1998- $91; 1999 - $79; 2000 - $74; 2001 - $72; and
thereafter - $688, and have a net present value of $587.

$3,751; 1998 - $3,424; 1999 - $2,673; 2000 - $1,978, 2001 - $1,781; and
thereafter - $2,155.

Rental expense for operating leases amounted to $5,593 and $5,140 for
1996 and 1995, respectively.

13.  INCOME TAXES:
The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return filed by
NACCO. The Company's tax sharing agreement with NACCO provides that Federal
income taxes are computed by the Company on a separate return basis, 

- -10-
<PAGE>   13

except that net operating loss and tax credit carryovers that benefit the
consolidated tax return are advanced to the Company and are repaid as utilized
on a separate return basis. To the extent that these carryovers are not used on
a separate return basis, the Company is required, under conditions pursuant to
the tax sharing agreement, to refund to NACCO the balance of carryovers advanced
and not used by the Company. 

The provision for income taxes consists of the following amounts.

The foreign tax credit of $615 realized in 1996 resulted from repatriation of
virtually all prior earnings of a Mexican subsidiary, and additional foreign tax
credit realized from the 1995 repatriation of earnings of the Canadian
subsidiary. Such benefit is not expected to recur in 1997. The foreign tax
credit of $2,784 realized in 1995 resulted from repatriation of virtually all
prior earnings of the Canadian subsidiary.

A summary of the deferred tax assets and (liabilities) that comprise the net

As of December 31, 1996, the Company had Federal net operating loss carryovers
of approximately $7,236, related to Hamilton Beach, Inc., and foreign tax credit
carryovers of $2,705. For Federal tax purposes, the utilization of acquired net
operating loss carryovers is limited to $1,953 on an annual basis, with any
unused limitation available for carryover to subsequent years. The Company
utilized $1,953 of the net operating loss carryovers related to Hamilton Beach,
Inc., in 1996. Loss carryovers are scheduled to expire in the years 2002 and
2003, and foreign tax credit carryovers are scheduled to expire in the years
1997 to 2000. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded a deferred tax
asset of $5,238 associated with these carryforwards. Realization of the asset is
dependent on generating sufficient taxable and foreign source income prior to
expiration of the carryforwards. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered
realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable
income during the carryforward period are reduced. Although realization is not
assured, the Company fully expects to realize its deferred tax assets. As a
result, the Company has no valuation allowances as of December 31, 1996 and
1995. 

No provision has been made for Federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries of approximately $945 as of December 31, 1996, as any
future remittances are expected to be substantially tax free.

14.  RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS:
The Company sponsors a defined benefit plan, the Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex,
Inc., Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the "Plan"). All full-time hourly and
salaried U.S. employees are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan
provides that participants accrue benefits annually based on age and annual
earnings. Upon retirement, participants receive their vested account balances
under the Plan plus all vested accrued benefits earned under prior frozen
benefit plans. Benefits will be paid upon normal retirement at age 65 or early
retirement after age 55. Participants become fully vested after five years of
service. 

The Company's funding policy is to contribute each year an amount that satisfies
the minimum required contribution but does not exceed the maximum tax deductible
contribution. Also, the Company may make additional contributions to the Plan,
dependent upon the Company achieving certain profit and performance objectives.
In 1996 and 1995, the Company accrued $413 and $433, respectively, representing
the estimated amount of profit sharing to be contributed to the Plan in the
subsequent year. The Company contributed $2,693 and $1,658 to the Plan for the
plan years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Assets held by the
Plan consist mainly of common stocks, corporate and government bonds, and cash
and cash equivalents.

Effective December 31, 1996, the Company froze benefit accruals under the Plan
and established a new participant retirement account under the HBPS Employees
Retirement Savings Plan (401k) effective January 1, 1997. Accordingly, all
benefits accrued and obligations recorded under the Plan were frozen as of
December 31, 1996. The details of the components of net pension expense for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, are as follows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 ("SFAS 87"), "Employers'
Accounting for Pensions", requires the Company to recognize a minimum pension
liability equal to the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO"). At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the cumulative unfunded ABO was $1,020 and $5,311,
respectively. The Company recorded an adjustment that recognized an additional
minimum liability equal to the unfunded ABO. In accordance with SFAS 87, the
portion of the unfunded ABO in excess of unrecognized prior service cost was
charged directly to stockholder's equity and is separately presented in the
consolidated statements of changes in stockholder's equity. The Company also
sponsors the HBPS Employees Retirement Savings Plan (401k), a defined
contribution retirement savings plan covering substantially all of its full-time
United States employees. Under the plan, employees may defer up to 15 percent of
pay on a pre-tax basis. Effective July 1, 1995, the Company began matching
employee contributions to the plan at the rate of 50 percent, up to the first 2
percent of employee contributions. Effective January 1, 1997, the employer match
was increased to match 50 percent of the first 4 percent of employee
contributions. Employee pre-tax and employer matching contributions are
immediately 100 percent vested.

Effective January 1, 1997, the Company added a profit sharing feature to the
plan. Under the plan, participants receive an automatic contribution based on
age, ranging between 2 percent and 6.33 percent of annual pay. The Company may
also make additional profit sharing contributions to participant accounts
dependent upon the Company's achievement of certain profit and performance
goals. Profit sharing contributions vest on a 20 percent, five year graded
schedule.

The Company maintains a postretirement health care plan for all retirees who
retired prior to October 1, 1992. In addition, the Company provides life
insurance benefits to all retirees who retired prior to October 1, 1992,
assuming they reached certain age and service requirements while working for the
Company. Under the Company's current policy, plan benefits are funded at the
time they are due to participants. The plan has no assets.

15. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company sells merchandise to The Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("Kitchen
Collection"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Housewares. The Company's sales to
Kitchen Collection were $6,201 and $5,030 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Accounts receivable due from Kitchen Collection at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
amounted to $146 and $361, respectively, and are included in accounts
receivable.

NACCO incurs certain administrative and other expenses directly related
to the operation of the Company. These expenses are reimbursed to NACCO. The
Company expensed and paid $743 and $627 of these administrative expenses to
NACCO in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The related payable to NACCO was $48 and
$73 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 

16. CONTINGENCIES: 
Various legal proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the
Company relating to the conduct of its business, including product liability and
environmental claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the
Company's ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has
meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend itself in these actions. Any
costs that management estimates may be paid as a result of these proceedings or
claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can
be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings
and claims is not presently determinable, management believes, after
consultation with its general counsel, the likelihood that material costs will
be incurred in excess of accruals already recognized is remote.

17. INDUSTRY SEGMENT AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS:
The Company designs, manufactures, and sells small consumer electric appliances.
Net sales to one major customer totaled 27.5 percent in 1996 and 22.5 percent in
1995. The Company has operations in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Products are transferred between these geographic areas at the market value of
the products. Identifiable assets are those assets identified with the
operations in each geographic area at year-end. All deferred charges and
intangible assets are attributed to the United States. Eliminations include
amounts for intercompany sales, intercompany profits in inventory, and
intercompany investments.

18.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
Cash payments during 1996 and 1995 included interest of $5,588 and $6,762 and
income taxes of $4,656 and $11,771, respectively.

19.  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS 121 establishes accounting standards
for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain intangibles, and goodwill
related to those assets. SFAS 121 provides, among other things, that impairment
losses be recognized when expected future cash flows are less than the related
assets' carrying value. Impairment is recorded based on an estimate of expected
future discounted cash flows. There was no material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements as a result of its adoption of SFAS 121.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                    ----------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
     The Kitchen Collection, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of THE KITCHEN COLLECTION, INC.
(a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of income, changes in stockholder's equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Kitchen Collection, Inc. as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          -----------------------------

                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
                           --------------------------

(1)    ORGANIZATION
       ------------

       The Kitchen Collection, Inc. (the Company) is a specialty retailer of
       kitchenware, tableware, small electrical appliances and related
       accessories. The Company operates a chain of 144 retail and factory
       outlet stores throughout the United States and is a wholly-owned
       subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NII).

(2)    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
       -------------------------------

       USE OF ESTIMATES
       ----------------

       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 date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
       during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

       INVENTORIES
       -----------

       Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market as determined by
       the retail inventory method.

       LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS, FURNITURE AND FIXTURES
       ----------------------------------------------

       Leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures are stated at cost.
       Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
       incurred. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization
       is provided using the straight-line method based upon the estimated
       useful lives of the related assets, as follows:

               Leasehold improvements             5 years
               Furniture and fixtures             5 years


<PAGE>   9


       GOODWILL
       --------

       Goodwill is associated with the purchase of the Company by NII and is
       being amortized over forty years on a straight-line basis. Accumulated
       amortization was $988,045 and $872,934 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
       respectively, with related amortization expense of $115,111 for each of
       the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Management regularly
       evaluates its accounting for goodwill considering such factors as
       historical and future profitability and believes that the asset is
       realizable and the amortization period remains appropriate.

       INCOME TAXES
       ------------

       Deferred tax assets or liabilities are based on the difference between
       the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities
       using the enacted marginal tax rate. Deferred income tax expense or
       benefit is based on the changes in the assets or liabilities from period
       to period, refer to Note 5 "Income Taxes" for additional information.

       ADVERTISING
       -----------

       The Company incurs advertising costs in the form of radio, newspaper and
       other print ads. Such costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense
       was $250,455 and $204,879 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
       -----------------------------------

       The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with terms that run
       concurrent with the related debt. The differential between the floating
       interest rate and the fixed interest rate, which is to be paid or
       received, is recognized in interest expense as interest rates change over
       the life of the related debt agreement.

       The fair values of financial instruments have been determined through
       information obtained from quoted market sources and management estimates.
       The fair value of the financial instruments approximated their carrying
       values at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The Company does not hold or issue
       financial instruments or derivative financial instruments (interest rate
       swap agreements) for trading purposes.

       RECLASSIFICATIONS
       -----------------

       Certain reclassifications have been made to 1995 amounts to conform to
       1996 presentation.


<PAGE>   10


(3)    LINE-OF-CREDIT AGREEMENT
       ------------------------

       The Company has an unsecured revolving line-of-credit agreement with a
       commercial bank for $5,000,000. Interest accrues at the bank's prime
       rate, money market rate or LIBOR rate plus a base rate margin of .425% to
       1.25%, as determined by certain performance measures. The Company had no
       funds drawn against the available balance at December 31, 1996 or 1995.
       As of December 31, 1996, the Company had letters of credit outstanding
       totaling $71,736, which reduces the available balance to $4,928,264. The
       credit agreement expires on May 31, 1999.

(4)    LONG-TERM DEBT
       --------------

       Long-term debt consists of the following, as of December 31:

       The note contains restrictive covenants regarding maintenance of minimum
       net worth, interest coverage and leverage. The Company was in compliance
       with all covenants as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.


<PAGE>   11


       The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a six year
       term during 1994. The use of this agreement allowed the Company to enter
       into a long-term credit agreement with a performance based, floating rate
       of interest and then swap it for a fixed rate as opposed to entering into
       a higher cost fixed-rate credit agreement. This agreement is with a major
       commercial bank; therefore, the risk of credit loss from nonperformance
       by the bank is minimal. The following summarizes the notional amount and
       related rates on this interest rate swap agreement at December 31, 1996:

       annual profit sharing contribution at its discretion.

       benefits they would have received under the retirement savings plan but
       for certain limitations imposed by the INTERNAL REVENUE Code. The plan is

                    Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NACCO Materials
Handling Group, Inc. (an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries,
Inc.) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. 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.

              NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              -----------------------------------------------------

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
                           --------------------------

1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
    --------------------

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of NACCO Materials Handling
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries include the accounts of NACCO Materials Handling
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries and its parent Hyster-Yale Materials Handling,
Inc., a holding company (collectively, the Company). Hyster-Yale Materials
Handling, Inc. is a 98% owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (NACCO).
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. and subsidiaries is the primary operating
business.

Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hyster-Yale
Materials Handling, Inc. and NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. and its
majority-owned domestic and international subsidiaries except for Companhia
Hyster, a Brazilian subsidiary. Income from this Brazilian subsidiary is
recognized when cash is received in the form of a dividend. Investments in
Sumitomo-Yale Company, Ltd. (S-Y), a 50% owned joint venture, and Yale Financial
Services, Inc. (YFS, Inc.), a 20% owned joint venture, are accounted for by the
equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the
consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

The Company considers cash equivalents to be investments with a maturity of
three months or less.

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined
under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for domestic inventories and under
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method with respect to all other inventories.
Costs for inventory valuation include labor, material and manufacturing
overhead.

Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation, including
amortization of equipment acquired under capital leases, is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful service lives for purposes of
financial reporting. For tax purposes, an accelerated method is generally used.
Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Advertising Costs
- -----------------

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

                                      -2-

Goodwill
- --------

Goodwill, the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net
assets acquired, relates primarily to the 1989 acquisition of Hyster Company and
is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Amortization was $11.5
million and $10.8 million in 1996 and 1995 respectively. Accumulated
amortization was $82.7 million and $71.2 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Management regularly evaluates its accounting for goodwill
considering such factors as historical and future profitability and believes
that the asset is realizable and the amortization period is still appropriate.

Product Development Costs
- -------------------------

Expenditures associated with the development of new products and improvements to
existing products are expensed as incurred. These costs amounted to $23.3 and
$24.2 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Foreign Currency
- ----------------

The financial statements for the Company's foreign operations are translated
into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates as to assets and
liabilities and at weighted average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses.
Gains and losses that do not impact cash flows are excluded from net income.
Effects of changes in exchange rates on the translated financial statements are
designated as "foreign currency translation adjustment," a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The fair values of financial instruments have been determined through
information obtained from quoted market sources and management estimates. The
Company does not hold or issue financial instruments or derivative financial
instruments for trading purposes.

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts with terms of one to
twelve months. These contracts hedge certain foreign currency denominated
receivables and payables and foreign currency commitments. Gains and losses on
contracts which do not hedge firm commitments are reported currently in income,
while gains and losses from contracts related to firm commitments are deferred
and recognized as part of the cost of the underlying transaction being hedged.

The Company also enters into interest rate swap agreements with terms ranging
from eighteen months to seven years. The differential between the floating
interest rate and the fixed interest rate which is to be paid or received is
recognized in interest expense as the floating interest rate changes over the
life of the agreement.

Long-Lived Assets
- -----------------

During fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement had no material effect on
the Company's accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

2.  RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:
    ------------------------

Nature of Operations
- --------------------

The Company designs, manufactures and markets material handling machinery and
equipment. Its product offerings cover all categories of forklift trucks, with
electric rider and internal combustion engine (ICE) forklift trucks being the
major product lines. The Company also derives significant revenue from the sale
of service parts for its own and competitors' forklift trucks.

The Company's manufacturing operations are primarily located in the United
States and Europe. Products are differentiated between the Hyster(R) and Yale(R)
brands and each brand is distributed worldwide through separate dealer networks.
Both brands are also sold directly to certain national account customers.

The Company's market position is strongest in North America; it also has
significant presence in Europe although its competitive position varies from
country to country. The Company's market share in Asia-Pacific is relatively
low.

The forklift truck industry is highly competitive and the Company has
established alliances with a limited number of suppliers to secure sources of
competitively priced materials and components. If the supply of key components
or materials were disrupted, or if major price increases were imposed that could
not be passed onto end customers, there could be an adverse impact on the
Company's operating results.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

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 revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

3.  EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES:
    ----------------------

The 1995 extraordinary charge of $3.4 million, net of $2.2 million in tax
benefits, represents premiums and write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs
associated with the retirement of approximately $78 million of 12-3/8%
subordinated debentures. The Company retired these debentures in August 1995
utilizing proceeds from the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 10.

4.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
    -----------------------------------

Supplemental cash flow information is as follows:

5.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:
    --------------------

Allowances for doubtful accounts of $4.1 million and $3.8 million at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were deducted from accounts receivable.

The Company has agreements which allow for the sale, without recourse, of
undivided interests in revolving pools of its trade accounts receivable. The
maximum allowable amount of receivables to be sold was $75.6 million at December
31, 1996 and $25.0 million at December 31, 1995. The amount sold at any
measurement date varies based upon the level of eligible receivables. Under
these agreements, $56.3 million and $23.2 million were sold as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The sales are reflected as reductions of accounts
receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs of these
programs, which were $1.8 million in 1996 and $1.6 million in 1995, are charged
to other expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

6.  INVENTORIES:

10.  SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS:
     -------------------------------------

On February 28, 1995 the Company entered into a long-term financing agreement
(the Credit Agreement) to refinance the majority of its previously outstanding
long-term debt. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with an unsecured $350
million revolving line of credit with a five year maturity and an extension
option. It is the Company's intention to exercise the extension option at
maturity. The Credit Agreement also provides the Company with reduced interest
rates upon achievement of certain financial performance targets. The Credit
Agreement allowed the Company to redeem the $78 million of 12-3/8% subordinated
debentures outstanding at December 31, 1994. This redemption caused the Company
to record an extraordinary charge of $3.4 million, net of tax, in 1995 to write
off the unamortized debt issuance costs and premiums as discussed in Note 3.


<PAGE>   13
                                      -7-




Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $230 million at December 31, 1996 and
are classified as a long-term obligation. Borrowings were $275 million at
December 31, 1995 of which $246 million is classified as long-term and the
remainder as short-term obligation. A facility fee, which is based upon the
total $350 million commitment of the Credit Agreement, is currently 0.2% per
annum. This facility bears interest under a variety of borrowing options with
premiums on each option subject to reductions based on favorable performance.
The weighted average effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility,
including interest rate swaps, was 6.68% and 6.25% during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate, including interest rate swaps,
at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 6.50% and 6.68%, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants related to minimum net worth, debt to
capitalization ratios and debt of subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit
Agreement limits capital spending, investments and dividends. As of December 31,
1996, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants in the Credit
Agreement.

In addition to the Credit Agreement, the Company has arrangements with lenders
that allow for borrowings on an uncommitted basis at current market rates. At
December 31, 1996, borrowings under these arrangements amounted to $14 million
and are classified as long-term obligations. At December 31, 1995, these
borrowings were classified as short-term obligations and amounted to $43.4
million. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings at December 31,
1996 and 1995 was 6.875% and 6.41%, respectively.

As further discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has entered into unsecured interest rate swap agreements. The interest
rate swap agreements mature at varying lengths from eighteen months to seven
years and effectively changes the majority of the Company's floating interest
rate exposure on the Credit Agreement to a fixed rate. The Company evaluates its
exposure to floating rate debt on an ongoing basis.

Long-term obligations, exclusive of current maturities, consists of the
following:

To the extent allowed under the restrictive covenants of the Credit Agreement,
foreign subsidiaries had credit lines at December 31, 1996 with an unused amount
of $27.9 million. Borrowings under these credit lines are classified as
short-term and amounted to $7.8 million and $6.2 million at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. These credit lines are in various currencies and bear
interest at an average rate of 8.8% and 8.4% at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

11.  INCOME TAXES:
     -------------

The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of NACCO.
The Company and NACCO are parties to an income tax sharing agreement providing
for the allocation of federal income tax liabilities. Under this arrangement,
the Company will pay to NACCO an amount equal to the income taxes that would be
payable by the Company if it were a corporation filing a separate return.
Therefore, the currently payable federal portion of the provision for income
taxes is payable to NACCO. The Company files separate state income tax returns.

Components of income before income taxes and extraordinary charge are as
follows:

The Company has provided for estimated United States and foreign income taxes,
less available tax credits and deductions, which would be incurred on the
remittance of undistributed earnings in its foreign subsidiaries in excess of
earnings deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. It is the Company's policy to
provide income taxes on all future accumulations of undistributed earnings for
those foreign subsidiaries where it is anticipated that distribution of earnings
is likely to occur.

Accumulated earnings at December 31, 1996 of international subsidiaries which
have been deemed to be indefinitely reinvested totaled $45.5 million.
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these
unremitted earnings is not practicable. The amount of withholding taxes that
would be payable upon remittance of all undistributed foreign earnings would be
$6.3 million. These withholding taxes, subject to certain limitations, may be
used to reduce U.S. income taxes.

A reconciliation of the provisions for income taxes at the federal statutory
income tax rate to income taxes as reported is as follows:

12.  POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:
     ------------------------

The Company maintains a variety of postretirement plans covering a majority of
its employees. A portion of the employees are participants in the defined
benefit plans discussed below. Most of the remaining covered employees
participate in the profit sharing portion of the Company's defined contribution
plan also described below. In addition, all eligible employees are included in
the 401(k) portion of the defined contribution plan. Total postretirement
expense for the Company was $11.0 million and $12.1 million for the years 1996
and 1995, respectively. Included in these amounts is the expense associated with
government sponsored plans in which the Company's international subsidiaries
participate. Cash contributions under the above plans were $16.5 million in 1996
and $7.8 million in 1995.

During 1996, the Company recognized a curtailment gain of $1.3 million which is
included in postretirement expense for the year. This gain resulted from the
suspension of a U.S. defined benefit plan effective December 31, 1996. Future
benefits to the participants of this plan will be earned under the profit
sharing portion of the Company's defined contribution plan described below. This
change is not expected to have a material impact on future annual pension costs.

The Company participates in the combined defined benefit plan of NACCO for
certain employee groups. The Company also maintains a defined benefit plan for
those employees that are covered under collective bargaining agreements. Each
defined benefit plan has a formula which is used to determine benefits upon
retirement. Most formulas take into account age, compensation, and success of
the Company in meeting certain goals, although certain hourly employees'
formulas are based primarily on years of service. The Company's current funding
policy is to contribute annually the minimum contribution calculated by the
independent actuaries. Contributions are intended to provide not only for
benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned
in the future.

The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan for U.S. employees
which includes a profit sharing portion and a 401(k) portion. Contributions to
the profit sharing plan are based on a formula which takes into account age,
compensation, and success of the Company in meeting certain goals. Contributions
vest over a five-year period. Under the 401(k) portion, eligible employees may
contribute up to 17% of their compensation and the Company matches an amount
equal to 66-2/3% of the participants' initial 3% before tax contribution.
Participants are at all times fully vested in their contributions and those made
by the Company.

13.  OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
     -------------------------------------------------

The Company maintains health care and life insurance plans which provide
benefits to eligible retired employees. The Company funds these benefits on a
"pay as you go" basis, with the retirees paying a portion of the costs.

The assumed health care cost trend rate for measuring the postretirement benefit
cost was 8.5% in 1996 and 9.0% in 1995, gradually reducing to 5.25% in years
2003 and after. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the benefit
obligation was 8.0% in 1996 and 7.50% in 1995. If the assumed health care trend
rate were increased by one percentage point, the effect on the APBO and expense
would be immaterial.

14.  LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN:
     --------------------------------------

The Company has a Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan for officers and key
management employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under this plan
represent book value appreciation units and entitle the recipient, subject to
vesting and other restrictions, to receive cash equal to the difference between
the base period price for the units and the book value price as of the quarter
date coincident to or immediately preceding the date of disbursement. Awards
vest and are payable ten years from date of grant or earlier under certain
conditions. As of December 31, 1996, 1.7 million units have been awarded to key
employees and officers. The amount charged to expense was $2.4 million and $3.2
million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The total amount accrued at December 31,
1996 and 1995 for these awards was $6.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively,
and was recorded as a long-term liability.

15.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
     -----------------------------------------------------------

Financial Instruments
- ---------------------

A financial instrument is a contract that imposes or conveys a contractual
obligation, or right, to deliver or receive cash or another financial
instrument. The fair value of financial instruments approximated their carrying
values at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

Interest Rate Derivatives
- -------------------------

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements. The use of these
agreements allows the Company to enter into long-term credit arrangements that
have performance based floating rates of interest and swap them into fixed
rates, as opposed to entering into higher cost fixed-rate credit arrangements.
These agreements are with major commercial banks; therefore, the risk of credit
loss from nonperformance by the banks is considered minimal. As of December 31,
1996 the Company had $310 million notional principal amount of interest rate
swaps with an average effective fixed rate of 6.4%, although $135 million of the
swaps are delayed to start in 1997 and later. The carrying amount of the
interest rate swaps is $0 and the fair value is $4.7 million, which reflects the
net amount the Company would pay to terminate the contracts at December 31,
1996.

Foreign Currency Derivatives
- ----------------------------

The Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts for purposes of
hedging exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These contracts
are with major financial institutions and the risk of credit loss from
nonperformance by these institutions is considered minimal. These contracts
hedge primarily firm commitments and, to a lesser degree, anticipated
commitments relating to cash flows associated with sales and purchases
denominated in foreign currencies. The Company enters into foreign exchange
contracts in a variety of foreign currencies with maturities not exceeding one
year. At December 31, 1996 the Company had $61.1 million contract value of
forward foreign exchange contracts.

Aggregate rental expense for operating leases included in the consolidated
statements of income was $7.1 and $6.5 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

17.  CONTINGENCIES:
     --------------

The Company is subject to recourse or repurchase obligations under various
financing arrangements for certain independently owned retail dealerships. Also,
certain dealer loans are guaranteed by the Company. Total amounts subject to
recourse, guarantee or repurchase obligation at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$125.6 million and $100.8 million, respectively.

When the Company is the guarantor of the principal amount financed, a security
interest is usually maintained in assets of the parties for whom the Company is
guaranteeing debt. Losses anticipated under the terms of the recourse or
repurchase obligations have been provided for and are not significant.

The Company is the defendant in various product liability and other legal
proceedings incidental to its business. The majority of this litigation involves
product liability claims. The Company has recorded a reserve for potential
product liability losses at December 31, 1996 of $48.6 million, of which $8.0
million is estimated to be payable in 1997. While the resolution of litigation
cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the reserves are
adequate and no material adverse effect upon the financial position or results
of operations of the Company will result from such legal actions.

18.  SEGMENT INFORMATION:
     --------------------

The Company's business consists of the engineering, manufacturing and marketing
of materials handling machinery and equipment, under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R)
trade names. The Company's products are manufactured in plants at five locations
in the United States and eight international plants located in Scotland,
Northern Ireland, The Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, Australia and Japan. Service
parts are distributed through parts depots located in the United States, Europe,
Australia and Brazil. Generally, products assembled abroad are comprised of
parts and components manufactured or purchased locally and from U.S. plants at
established transfer prices. The transfer price of production parts and
completed units is established by a procedure designed to equate to an
arm's-length price. However, for purposes of the following financial statement
disclosure, transfers between geographic areas are presented at standard cost.
