         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                          (Tabular Amounts in Millions)



Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

NACCOIndustries,  Inc.  ("NACCO")  is a  holding  company  with  four  operating
subsidiaries:   NACCO  Materials   Handling  Group,  Inc.   ("NMHG"),   Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex,   Inc.  ("HB/PS"),  The  North  American  Coal  Corporation
("NACoal"),  and The Kitchen  Collection,  Inc.  ("KCI").  See a  discussion  of
reportable segments in Note 2, below.

The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of NACCO and its majority owned  subsidiaries  ("NACCO  Industries,
Inc. and  Subsidiaries,"  or the  "Company").  Intercompany  accounts  have been
eliminated.

These  financial  statements  have been  prepared in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  for  interim  financial  information  and  the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes  required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation of
the  financial  position of the Company as of September 30, 1998 and the results
of its  operations  for the three and nine month  periods and cash flows for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 have been included.

Operating  results for the nine month  period ended  September  30, 1998 are not
necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of
the  year  ended  December  31,  1998.  For  further  information,  refer to the
consolidated   financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  December  31,
1997.

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


Note 2 - Segment Reporting

In the second quarter of 1998,  management  made the  determination  that two of
NACCO's  subsidiaries,  HB/PS and KCI,  would  work  more  closely  together  to
identify and maximize  the benefits of such a  relationship.  Operating as NACCO
Housewares  Group  ("Housewares"),  financial  results  of HB/PS and KCI will be
evaluated by management  as a combined  operating  unit.  Because of this and in
accordance with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," operating
results of these two subsidiaries will be combined as Housewares for purposes of
segment reporting.  The composition of NACCO's other reportable segments,  NMHG,
NACoal and NACCO and Other,  remains  consistent  with  prior  periods'  segment
reporting.

SFAS No. 131, issued in June 1997,  establishes  standards for segment reporting
and  identifies  the  interim  and  annual  disclosure  requirements  for  those
segments.  Interim  disclosures  required  by  SFAS  No.  131  are  included  in
Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations, beginning on page 10 of this Form 10-Q. Segment information for 1997
has been restated to reflect the  combination of HB/PS and KCI as one reportable
segment,  Housewares. Any additional annual disclosures required by SFAS No. 131
will be reflected in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income," which requires
disclosure  of  comprehensive  income  and  its  components  in a  full  set  of
general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as changes
in stockholders' equity from nonowner sources and, for the Company, includes net
income,  changes in the foreign currency  translation  adjustment and changes in
the minimum pension liability adjustment.

Note 4 - Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance  with the  provisions of SFAS No.
128,  "Earnings  per Share." For purposes of  calculating  the basic and diluted
earnings per share, no adjustments have been made to the reported amounts of net
income. The share amounts used are as follows:

Note 6 - Restructuring Accrual

In the second  quarter of 1998,  HB/PS recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.1 million
to recognize  severance  payments to be made to approximately  450 manufacturing
employees in  connection  with  transitioning  activities  to HB/PS's  Saltillo,
Mexico facility.  No significant payments related to this accrual have been made
as of September 30, 1998.

In the fourth quarter of 1997, NMHG approved and began  implementation of a plan
to  restructure  certain  activities.  As such,  NMHG  recognized an accrual for
severance  payments  to  be  made  to  certain  NMHG  employees  and  for  lease
termination  costs.  Severance  payments  were  made to  approximately  130 NMHG
employees  during the first nine months of 1998.  In the third  quarter of 1998,
NMHG  recognized a reduction to the accrual of  approximately  $1.5 million,  as
severance  payments were less than  previously  anticipated.  In addition,  NMHG
recognized   an   additional   charge  during  the  third  quarter  of  1998  of
approximately  $3.0  million,  which  is  classified  as  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses in the  accompanying  Statement of Income,  relating to
increases in temporary  labor,  moving and training  costs  associated  with the
restructuring program.

The changes to NMHG's  restructuring  accrual as announced in the fourth quarter
of 1997 and to HB/PS's  restructuring accrual as announced in the second quarter
of 1998 are as follows:

Note 7 - Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities." This Statement
establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for derivative  instruments and
for hedging  activities.  It requires  companies to recognize all derivatives on
the balance sheet as assets and  liabilities,  measured at fair value.  Gains or
losses  resulting  from  changes  in the  values of those  derivatives  would be
accounted  for depending on the use of the  derivative  and whether it qualifies
for hedge  accounting.  This  Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning
after June 15, 1999.  The Company  will adopt this  Statement on January 1, 2000
and is in the process of  determining  the effect that adoption will have on its
financial statements.

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants  ("AICPA")
issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software  Developed or Obtained for  Internal  Use," which is effective  for the
Company  as of  January 1, 1999.  This SOP  requires  capitalization  of certain
development costs of software to be used internally.

In April 1998,  the AICPA issued SOP 98-5,  "Reporting  on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities,"  which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 1999. This SOP
requires  start-up  and  organization  costs to be expensed as incurred and also
requires  previously  deferred  start-up  costs to be recognized as a cumulative
effect adjustment in the statement of income upon adoption.

These  SOPs,  which the  Company  plans to adopt as of January 1, 1999,  are not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

                                    ========  =======  =======

</TABLE>

At NMHG,  overall  operating  results during the third quarter of 1998 improved,
compared with the same period in 1997,  primarily  due to increased  unit volume
and reduced manufacturing costs. Worldwide volume increased 14 percent to 17,759
units shipped  during the third quarter of 1998 from 15,541 units shipped during
the third quarter of 1997.  Increased demand in the Americas and Europe,  fueled
by the strong  economies in those  regions,  contributed  to this volume growth.
Unit shipments in Asia-Pacific,  however,  declined as a result of the continued
weak  economies  in that  region.  Revenue  growth  from  increased  volume  was
partially offset by sales mix, as Demand Flow Technology ("DFT")  implementation
at several of NMHG's manufacturing  plants temporarily  restricted the company's
ability to ship  higher-priced  trucks.  While  revenue  from sales mix declined
significantly, the rate of decline in operating profit and net income from sales
mix was tempered by increased shipments of higher margin products.

As a result  of  heightened  levels  of  production  and a slight  reduction  in
Americas' incoming orders, the backlog declined to 18,800 units at September 30,
1998 as compared  with 22,800  units at  September  30, 1997 and 20,800 units at
June 30, 1998.

Manufacturing  costs  decreased in the third quarter of 1998,  compared with the
same period a year ago,  due to reduced  materials  pricing  and higher  factory
throughput resulting in increased overhead absorption. However, the benefit from
these  factors was  somewhat  offset by  one-time  charges  associated  with the
implementation of DFT in several manufacturing plants.

Other  operating  expenses  increased  during  the third  quarter of 1998 due to
increased  incentive  compensation  and costs to support  sales  volume  growth,
partially  offset by employee  attrition  resulting  from  NMHG's  restructuring
program.

                                    ==========  ========  =======
</TABLE>

Operating  results at NMHG for the first nine months of 1998 improved  primarily
due to a 23 percent  increase in NMHG's  worldwide  unit volume to 57,850  units
sold in the first nine months of 1998,  compared  with 46,975  units sold in the
first nine  months of 1997.  The  strong  U.S.  economy  coupled  with  economic
recovery in Europe fueled demand,  resulting in increased volume. Unit volume in
Asia-Pacific,  however,  declined due to the  continuing  weak economies in that
region.  Worldwide  parts sales  improved  primarily due to  successful  ongoing
promotional programs implemented in the North American market.

Foreign currency  negatively affected operating results due to the strengthening
of the British pound sterling  against other European  currencies,  which caused
price and margin  pressure  on lift  trucks  denominated  in the  British  pound
sterling. The decrease to operating profit caused by the stronger pound sterling
was partially offset by the reduced cost of Japanese yen-based  materials caused
by the weakening of the yen against the U.S.
dollar and the pound sterling.

Reduced manufacturing costs as a result of product  re-engineering and increased
overhead  absorption  from unit  volume  growth  also  contributed  to  improved
operating  results.  Other operating  expenses  increased  during the first nine
months of 1998 due to higher  incentive  compensation  expense  and other  costs
necessary to support sales volume growth.  These  increased  operating  expenses
were slightly offset by savings from attrition of employees due to restructuring
activities implemented since the fourth quarter of 1997.

Other Income and Expense and Income Taxes

The  components  of other income  (expense)  and the  effective tax rate for the
three and nine months ended September 30 are as follows:

Effective tax rate      38.7%     37.5%     38.7%     44.1%
</TABLE>

Interest  expense for the three month period ended  September 30, 1998 increased
as compared  with the same  period last year  primarily  due to  increased  debt
levels  necessary  to support  increased  working  capital  requirements  and an
intercompany  loan to NACCO.  Interest expense for the first nine months of 1998
declined as compared with the same period of 1997 due to decreased  average debt
levels and reduced  interest rates.  Other-net for the first nine months of 1998
improved due to a $4.6 million  non-recurring  legal settlement  received in the
second  quarter  of  1998,  partially  offset  by  losses  on  foreign  currency
transactions.

The decrease in the effective  tax rate for the nine months ended  September 30,
1998  compared  with  the  same  period  in  1997   primarily   results  from  a
determination made in the fourth quarter of 1997 to reinvest earnings of foreign
operations in such foreign operations for the foreseeable  future.  Accordingly,
NMHG did not provide for taxes on unremitted  foreign  earnings during the first
nine months of 1998. Also contributing to the decrease in the effective tax rate
is the effect of a constant level of  nondeductible  goodwill  amortization on a
higher comparable level of pre-tax income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Expenditures  for property,  plant and equipment  were $42.6 million  during the
first nine months of 1998. It is estimated that NMHG's capital  expenditures for
the  remainder  of 1998  will be  approximately  $33.1  million.  These  planned
expenditures relate to the relocation and centralization of NMHG's marketing and
engineering  organizations  and  to  investments  in  manufacturing  facilities,
including plant expansions in Mexico and China,  worldwide  information  systems
and tooling for new  products.  The  principal  sources of  financing  for these
capital expenditures are internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

At September 30, 1998,  NMHG had available  $170.2 million of its $350.0 million
revolving credit facility.  The expiration date of the NMHG facility,  currently
June 2002, 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 that sets interest rates based upon the achievement of
certain  financial  performance  targets.  NMHG  also  has  separate  facilities
totaling  $43.5  million,  of which $30.9 million was available at September 30,
1998.  NMHG  believes  that  funds  available  under its credit  facilities  and
operating  cash flows are  sufficient to finance all of its operating  needs and
commitments arising during the foreseeable future.

The increase in net tangible  assets of $94.8 million  primarily  results from a
$41.4  million  increase in accounts  receivable,  a $31.8  million  increase in
inventory and a $23.4 million increase in net property, plant and equipment.

The increase in accounts  receivable reflects an increase in volume and a slight
increase in the aging of receivables. Increased inventory reflects a build-up of
inventory necessary to support increased sales volume, as well as an anticipated
build-up of inventory due to the phase-in of DFT.

NACCO HOUSEWARES GROUP
======================

In the second quarter of 1998, the Company began  reporting the results of HB/PS
and KCI on a combined basis as NACCO  Housewares  Group.  This reporting  change
better reflects the closer working  relationship  between these two subsidiaries
designed to maximize their available opportunities.  See Note 2 to the condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  for  a  discussion  of  NACCO's  change  in
reportable segments and restatement of 1997 segment information.

HB/PS,  wholly  owned by NACCO,  is a  leading  manufacturer  of small  electric
appliances.  KCI,  wholly owned by NACCO,  is a national  specialty  retailer of
kitchenware,  tableware,  small  electric  appliances  and related  accessories.
Because  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 to retailers and consumers  increase  significantly for the
fall holiday selling season.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued

Operating  results at Housewares  improved  primarily due to improved  operating
results  at HB/PS.  A shift in  HB/PS's  sales mix to  higher  margin  products,
especially  indoor  grills,  juice  extractors,  commercial  irons and blenders,
contributed  favorably to net income.  Unit volume also contributed  slightly to
the increase in revenue and net income,  as units grew to 9.5 million units sold
in the third quarter of 1998 from 9.4 million units sold in the third quarter of
1997. The average sales price  continues to decline as  competition,  especially
from Chinese  imports,  remains  strong.  Reduced  manufacturing  costs at HB/PS
resulted from an increase in production at more  cost-efficient  Mexican plants.
Revenues and net income from KCI were  comparable to the prior year period.  KCI
operated 148 stores at September 30, 1998, compared with 144 stores on September
30, 1997.

First Nine Months of 1998 Compared with First Nine Months of 1997

                                     ========  =======  ======
</TABLE>


Operating  results at Housewares  improved  primarily due to improved  operating
results at HB/PS. Unit volume at HB/PS increased 9 percent to 24.4 million units
sold in the first nine months of 1998 from 22.3 million  units sold in the first
nine months of 1997. Increased demand from key mass merchants,  specifically for
blenders,  irons, indoor grills and toasters,  significantly contributed to unit
volume growth. A shift in sales mix to higher margin products contributed to net
income,  while continued price decreases due to competition from Chinese imports
reduced net income.

Manufacturing costs declined due to increased  production at more cost-efficient
Mexican plants and reduced materials costs. These reduced manufacturing expenses
were partially  offset by cost increases  related to transferring  activities to
the manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico, including a $3.1 million pre-tax
restructuring  accrual recognized in the second quarter of 1998. Operating costs
for  the  first  nine   months  of  1998  as   compared   with  1997   increased
proportionately  to support the increased level of sales.  Revenues and net loss
from KCI were comparable to the prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Housewares'  expenditures  for property,  plant and equipment were $13.5 million
during the first nine months of 1998 and are  estimated  to be $6.0  million for
the remainder of 1998. The primary  purpose of these capital  expenditures is to
reduce  manufacturing  costs and increase efficiency and to purchase tooling for
new  and  existing  products.  These  expenditures  are  funded  primarily  from
internally generated funds and short-term borrowings.

HB/PS's  credit  agreement  provides  for a revolving  credit  facility  ("HB/PS
Facility")  that  permits   advances  up  to  $160.0  million,   is  secured  by
substantially  all of HB/PS's assets and expires in May 2003. This facility also
provides lower interest rates if HB/PS achieves certain interest coverage ratios
and  allows for  interest  rates  quoted  under a  competitive  bid  option.  At
September 30, 1998,  HB/PS had $43.6 million  available under the HB/PS Facility
and $6.7 million available under separate facilities.

In June 1998,  the HB/PS  Facility was amended to allow  advances of up to $10.0
million from HB/PS to KCI. Subsequent to this amendment, KCI's cash requirements
are financed through advances from HB/PS.  Accordingly,  in the third quarter of
1998, KCI terminated its external  revolving credit  facility.  At September 30,
1998, HB/PS had advances outstanding to KCI of $6.0 million.

Housewares  believes  that  funds  available  under its  credit  facilities  and
operating  cash flows are  sufficient to finance all of its operating  needs and
commitments arising during the foreseeable future.

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  2.0 billion tons, with 1.2 billion
tons committed to electric utility  customers  pursuant to long-term  contracts.
NACoal operates five lignite mines,  including three project mining subsidiaries
("Coteau," "Falkirk" and "Sabine"), a NACoal division ("San Miguel") and a joint
venture ("Red River").  NACoal also provides 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.

During  1997,  the  Mississippi  Lignite  Mining  Company  was formed as a joint
venture  between  NACoal and Phillips  Coal Company.  The new company,  in which
NACoal has a 25 percent  interest,  will develop the Red Hills lignite mine near
Ackerman, Mississippi. Development of the mine site has begun. See "OUTLOOK" for
additional information.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

NACoal's three project mining subsidiaries (Coteau,  Falkirk and Sabine),  which
represent a significant portion of NACoal's operations, 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 lignite tons sold, income before taxes and net income.

Lignite tons sold by NACoal's  operating  lignite  mines were as follows for the
three and nine months ended September 30:

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued

Overall,  the  financial  results  of  operating  mines at NACoal  for the third
quarter of 1998 are comparable to the same period a year ago. Improved operating
results from project  mines,  primarily due to increased  tonnage  volume,  were
completely  offset by reduced  operating  results from other mining  operations,
primarily  due to  decreased  tonnage  volume  and  increased  operating  costs.
Increased  operating  costs due to  ongoing  growth  initiatives  and  decreased
royalty income contributed to the decline in net income.

At the project  mines,  operating  profit  improved due to increased  tons sold,
primarily at Coteau,  and a project  mine  incentive  payment.  The benefit from
these  factors was  partially  offset by decreased  tons sold at Sabine due to a
customer's  planned  power plant  outage.  Results from other mining  operations
improved due to the addition of the San Miguel lignite mining  operation,  which
began  operations  in July 1997,  partially  offset by  decreased  volume at Red
River.  Favorable  operating results from increased royalty income was offset by
increased costs of ongoing growth initiatives.

</TABLE>

The  decrease in the  effective  tax rate  results  from  additional  percentage
depletion eligible to reduce NACoal's effective tax.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Expenditures  for property,  plant and equipment  were $16.6 million  during the
first nine months of 1998. It is estimated  that NACoal's  capital  expenditures
for the remainder of 1998 will be $8.3 million, of which $6.5 million relates to
the   development,   establishment   and   improvement  of  the  project  mining
subsidiaries'  mines and are financed or  guaranteed  by the utility  customers.
Also during the first nine months of 1998,  NACoal  invested  $8.8  million in a
joint  venture  with  Phillips  Coal  Company to develop a new  lignite  mine in
Mississippi.  During the  remainder  of 1998,  NACoal  anticipates  investing an
additional $4.4 million in this joint venture.

NACoal has in place a $50.0 million  revolving credit  facility.  The expiration
date of this facility,  which  currently is September  2002, can be extended one
additional  year, on an annual basis,  upon the mutual consent of NACoal and the
bank group.  NACoal had $45.4 million of its revolving credit facility available
at September 30, 1998.

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

The  increase  in  Other  net  tangible  assets  is  primarily  due  to  capital
investments in the Mississippi  lignite mining  operation,  a joint venture with
Phillips Coal Company  scheduled to begin production in the year 2000.  Advances
to parent  company  and Debt  related to parent  advances  declined in the third
quarter as a result of repayments made by NACCO.

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 results are
immaterial,  it has significant  long-term  liabilities related to closed mines,
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 are  anticipated to be $0.9 million for the remainder of
1998.

The results of  operations  at NACCO and Other were as follows for the three and
nine months ended September 30:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

The borrowing  agreements at NMHG,  HB/PS and KCI allow for the payment to NACCO
of dividends and advances under certain circumstances. There are no restrictions
on the transfer of assets from NACoal.  Dividends,  advances and management fees
from its subsidiaries are the primary sources of cash for NACCO.

NACCO's consolidated capital structure is presented below:

NACCO AND OTHER - continued

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued

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.

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 six years, with the counterparty's  option to extend a small
portion of these contracts to eight years. The Company evaluates its exposure to
floating rate debt on an ongoing basis.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

NMHG and HB/PS operate  internationally and enter into transactions  denominated
in foreign  currencies.  As such,  their  financial  results  are subject to the
transaction  exposures that arise from exchange rate movements between the dates
foreign currency  transactions are committed and the dates they are consummated.
The effects of foreign currency  fluctuations on revenues,  operating income and
net income at NMHG are disclosed  above. At HB/PS,  foreign currency effects had
an immaterial impact on operating results between comparable periods of 1998 and
1997.

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 companies to buy or sell Japanese yen, Australian dollars,  Canadian dollars
or  various  European  currencies  for the  functional  currency  in  which  the
applicable  subsidiary  operates  at rates  agreed  to at the  inception  of the
contracts.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Year 2000 ("Y2K") issues exist because many  information  technology  ("IT") and
non-information  technology  ("non-IT") systems were designed to recognize years
by reference to only the last two digits of the year. As a result, these systems
assume the relevant  year begins with "19." These  systems could fail or produce
erroneous information if they are not modified to recognize dates beginning with
"20."

State of Readiness

Each of the Company's  subsidiaries  has developed a formal  compliance  plan to
address  the Y2K  issue.  The  audit  committee  of the  Board of  Directors  is
periodically  updated on the Company's  progress in addressing the Y2K issue. In
addition, NMHG and HB/PS have retained the services of Y2K consultants to review
their  respective  compliance  plans and identify areas where the plans may need
improvement.  The subsidiaries'  compliance plans encompass the evaluation of IT
systems  and  non-IT  systems,  as  well  as an  assessment  of  third  parties'
compliance  and the extent to which  third party  representations  can be relied
upon.  Furthermore,  the  execution of the Company's  compliance  plans has been
prioritized  in terms of  significance  to the  Company's  ability  to  generate
revenues,  income and cash flows.  The  following  discussion  addresses  IT and
non-IT  systems  that may have a  material  effect on the  Company's  ability to
generate  revenues,  income and cash flows. The compliance plans are categorized
into one of four phases: (i) awareness, (ii) assessment,  (iii) renovation,  and
(iv) validation and implementation (testing).


<PAGE>



YEAR 2000 ISSUE - continued

IT Systems:  The Company has completed  its  assessment of all of its IT systems
and the  renovation  of  substantially  all of its IT  systems.  NMHG  plans  to
complete  renovation and testing of all IT systems by March 1999; HB/PS plans to
complete  renovation  and  testing of all IT systems by March  1999;  and NACoal
plans to complete renovation and testing of all IT systems by June 1999.

Non-IT Systems: The Company's Y2K compliance plan also addresses non-IT systems
with date-sensitive operating controls such as computer-controlled manufacturing
and mining  equipment,  heating,  ventilating and cooling systems,  fire alarms,
phone, voice mail,  security and other similar systems. At NMHG, the assessment,
renovation  and testing of non-IT  systems is targeted to be  completed  by July
1999.  As of  March  1998,  all  of  HB/PS's  computer-controlled  manufacturing
equipment was validated to be Y2K compliant.  HB/PS plans to complete testing of
its  remaining   non-IT   systems  by  December   1998.   At  NACoal,   critical
computer-controlled  equipment  used to mine coal has been  confirmed  to be Y2K
compliant.  NACoal  plans  to test  compliance  of this  critical  equipment  by
December 1998. NACoal plans to assess its other non-IT systems by December 1998.

Third Parties:  The Company has contacted  substantially all of its third-party,
critical-component  suppliers.  At NMHG, supplier surveys have been returned and
evaluated, indicating that approximately 70 percent of NMHG's critical suppliers
will be Y2K compliant by December 1998, with the remainder targeting  compliance
by the end of 1999. At HB/PS, supplier surveys have been returned and evaluated,
indicating  that  approximately  70 percent of HB/PS's  critical  suppliers  are
currently  Y2K  compliant  or have a plan in place to be compliant by the end of
1999. The remainder of HB/PS's critical  suppliers have not yet responded to the
survey.  The Company  continues to pursue responses from those suppliers.  HB/PS
plans to perform  tests of Y2K  compliance  of critical  suppliers in July 1999.
NACoal plans to complete the  assessment  of its vendors'  readiness by December
1998.

Most of NACoal's  customers  have indicated that they have a plan in place to be
Y2K  compliant by December 31, 1999.  NACoal  continues to monitor the status of
its customers'  Y2K  compliance.  In addition,  the Company is in the process of
contacting  utility  providers,  financial  institutions and customers to assess
their Y2K readiness.

Costs to Address Y2K Issues

The Company received and implemented  computer software  upgrades,  under normal
maintenance  agreements with third-party vendors, that enabled substantially all
of the Company's IT systems to be Y2K compliant.  As such,  costs to address the
Y2K issue have not been,  and are not  expected to be,  material to the Company.
Internal  and  external  costs  incurred  to date have been  approximately  $3.2
million.  The Company  estimates  an  additional  $2.1  million will be expended
during the remainder of 1998 and 1999  relating to this issue.  These costs have
been and are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations.

Contingency Plans

Some contingency  plans have been formalized,  however other  contingency  plans
continue to be formulated.  Such  contingency  plans,  both those formalized and
those  under  discussion,  include,  if  necessary,  building a safety  stock of
critical  components prior to January 1, 2000,  requiring  certain  suppliers to
maintain a safety stock or locating alternate  suppliers that are Y2K compliant.
The Company plans to replace, to the extent possible, those vendors who have not
responded to surveys or have  indicated  "no plan in place," by September  1999.
The  Company  plans to  develop a risk  assessment  guide  that will  enable the
Company  to  identify   customers  who  may  have  cash  flow  troubles  due  to
non-compliance.  The Company may need to reduce the extension of credit, selling
terms or amount of shipments to those customers.


<PAGE>


YEAR 2000 ISSUE - continued

The  Company's  Y2K efforts are  ongoing  and its overall  plan,  as well as the
consideration of contingency  plans,  will continue to evolve as new information
becomes  available.  While the Company  anticipates  continuity  of its business
activities,  that continuity will be dependent upon its ability, and the ability
of third parties on which the Company relies, directly and indirectly, to be Y2K
compliant.

Risks of the Company's Y2K Issues

Although the Company believes that it has formulated a compliance plan that will
mitigate the risk that the Y2K issue will have a material  adverse effect on the
Company,  the  ultimate  impact  of this  issue  on the  Company  is  uncertain.
Suppliers'  failure to deliver critical  components,  third-parties'  failure to
supply power and/or telecommunication  systems to manufacturing plants or mines,
or the  Company's  failure to  complete,  in a timely  manner,  the  updating of
computer-controlled  manufacturing equipment could result in delayed delivery of
products to customers,  which could have a material  adverse  effect on earnings
and cash flow. In addition,  customers'  non-compliance could result in the loss
of customers or a customer's  inability to purchase or pay for  products,  which
could have a material adverse effect on earnings and cash flow.

The Company has not yet finished its  assessment,  renovation and testing of all
areas of Y2K compliance. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Y2K issue
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations,  results of
operations or cash flows.  See below under  "OUTLOOK" for  additional  risks and
uncertainties associated with Y2K compliance.


EURO CONVERSION

On January 1, 1999,  eleven of the  fifteen  countries  that are  members of the
European Union are scheduled to introduce a new currency unit called the "Euro,"
which will ultimately replace the national currencies of these eleven countries.
The conversion rates between the Euro and the participating  nations' currencies
will be fixed irrevocably as of January 1, 1999, with the participating national
currencies being removed from  circulation  between January 1, 2002 and June 30,
2002 and replaced by Euro notes and coinage. During the "transition period" from
January 1, 1999 through  December 31, 2001,  public and private entities as well
as individuals  may pay for goods and services using either checks,  drafts,  or
wire  transfers  denominated  in Euro or the  participating  country's  national
currency.

Under the regulations governing the transition to a single currency,  there is a
"no compulsion,  no  prohibition"  rule which states that no one is obligated to
use the Euro  until the notes and  coinage  have been  introduced  on January 1,
2002.  In keeping with this rule,  by January 1, 1999 the Company  expects to be
able to (i) receive Euro denominated payments, (ii) invoice in Euro as requested
by vendors and suppliers and (iii) perform  appropriate  conversion and rounding
calculations.  Full conversion of all affected country operations to the Euro is
expected to be  completed  by the time  national  currencies  are  removed  from
circulation.  The cost of software and business process  conversion  required to
achieve such abilities is not expected to be material.  However, there can be no
assurance  that the Company and its  significant  vendors and  suppliers  in the
affected  countries  will be Euro  compliant by January 1, 1999 or that any such
failure  to be Euro  compliant  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


<PAGE>



EURO CONVERSION - continued

The Company does not anticipate that the  introduction  and use of the Euro will
materially affect the Company's  foreign exchange and hedging  activities or the
Company's use of derivative instruments,  or will have a material adverse effect
on operating results or cash flows.  However,  the ultimate effect that the Euro
will have on competition due to price  transparency,  foreign  currency risk and
third parties cannot yet be determined and may have an adverse effect,  possibly
material,  on the Company's  operations,  financial condition or cash flows. The
Company continues to monitor and assess the potential risks imposed by the Euro.


OUTLOOK

NMHG:  Although  industry  lift truck  bookings in the  Americas are expected to
decline  moderately in the fourth quarter of 1998, the rate of unit shipments is
expected to remain stable due to high backlog levels. In Europe,  unit shipments
are expected to remain at a level consistent with the previous three quarters in
1998.  However,   shipments  are  expected  to  out-pace  orders,  resulting  in
decreasing  backlog levels.  Industry  shipments in the Asia-Pacific  region are
expected to decline because of continuing weak economies throughout this region.
NMHG's  cost  reduction   programs,   including  Value   Improvement,   DFT  and
infrastructure  reorganization,  are expected to continue  having an  increasing
positive impact in 1998 and 1999.

Housewares:  HB/PS's new  Saltillo  facility is expected to continue to increase
production  in the fourth  quarter  of 1998 due to the  transfer  of  additional
toaster and motor  assembly  operations.  Most of the  cost-savings  impact from
Saltillo is expected to be realized  in 1999.  HB/PS  expects  competition  from
Chinese imports to remain strong.

NACoal:  NACoal's mining operations are expected to continue to provide a steady
volume of lignite deliveries in the fourth quarter of 1998.  NACoal's San Miguel
mine will have a full year of  lignite  deliveries  in 1998,  compared  with six
months  of  operations  in  1997.  NACoal  expects  royalty  income  to  decline
moderately in the fourth  quarter of 1998,  compared with the fourth  quarter of
1997.  Development  of the Red Hills  lignite  mine has begun and will  continue
through 1999, with initial lignite  production  scheduled for the year 2000. The
mine is expected to produce approximately 3.0 million tons of lignite annually.
