   In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair
   presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months
   ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, cash flows for the nine months ended July
   31, 1996 and 1995, and financial position at July 31, 1996 have been
   made. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature.  See notes
   (b), (c), and (g) for discussions regarding acquisitions, divestiture of
   discontinued operations and the fiscal 1995 extraordinary loss on
   retirement of debt.

   These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
   financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
   Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 8, 1995, which is
   incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
   for the year ended October 31, 1995.

   The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
   indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(b)  Acquisitions
       --------------
   In early fiscal 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Dobson
   Park Industries plc ("Dobson") for a purchase price of approximately
   $330,000 including acquisition costs, plus the assumption of debt of
   approximately $75,300.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase
   transaction with the purchase price allocated to specific assets acquired
   and liabilities assumed.  This allocation was based on preliminary
   estimates and may be revised at a later date.  Resultant goodwill is being
   amortized over 40 years.

   Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, was an industrial
   engineering group with interests in underground mining equipment,
   industrial electronic control systems, toys and plastics.  Longwall
   International ("Longwall"), one of the main subsidiaries of Dobson, is
   engaged in the manufacture, sale and service of underground mining
   equipment for the international coal mining industry.  Longwall's
   products include electronically controlled roof support systems, armored
   face conveyors, pumps and belt conveyor components and systems.  

   The Company has formulated a plan to fully integrate Longwall's operations
   into Joy Mining Machinery, thus enabling Joy Technologies Inc. ("Joy") 
   to offer integrated underground longwall mining systems to the
   worldwide mining industry.  As a result of this plan, the Company has
   established purchase accounting reserves to provide for the estimated
   costs of this effort.  The costs to be incurred relate primarily to the
   closure of selected manufacturing and service facilities.  Company
   management anticipates that the majority of these costs will be incurred
   in fiscal 1996 and 1997.  As of July 31, 1996, approximately $19,200 of
   the reserves had been used.  Longwall's operating results for the nine
   months ended July 31, 1996 are included in the July 31, 1996
   consolidated statement of income.

   The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of
   either results of operations that would have occurred had the purchase
   been made on November 1, 1994, or of future results of operations of the
   combined companies.

   The industrial electronic and toys/plastics businesses are held for sale and
   are separately classified as such on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 
   These businesses were originally valued at $100,000.  Several of the
   businesses have been sold, aggregating net proceeds of  $73,521.  The
   remaining balance represents the net realizable value including the
   expected cash flow from the remaining businesses held for sale which are
   expected to be sold within the next year. 

   On March 27, 1996, the Company's Beloit Corporation subsidiary
   purchased  the assets of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand
   Company ("IMPCO") for  $119,230, including acquisition costs.  The
   acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction with the
   purchase price  allocated to specific assets acquired and liabilities
   assumed.  This allocation was based on preliminary estimates and may be
   revised at a later date.  Resultant goodwill is being amortized over 40
   years. 

   On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of Joy
   through a stock-for-stock merger with the acquisition accounted for as
   a pooling of interests.  Joy's Mining Group is a leader in the worldwide
   development, manufacture, distribution and servicing of underground
   mining equipment for the extraction of coal and other bedded materials. 
   Effective November 1, 1994, the fiscal year of Joy was conformed to the
   Company's fiscal year. Transaction costs related to the Joy merger of
   $17,459 ($11,384 net of tax or $0.24 per share) were charged to income
   during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

(c)     Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
       -----------------------------------------


   In December, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
   of the assets of Joy Environmental Technologies, Inc. to Babcock and
   Wilcox, an operating unit of McDermott International, for $11,651.  The
   loss on sale, net of applicable income taxes, was recorded in the fourth
   quarter of fiscal 1995.

   On February 16, 1995,  the Company completed the sale of Syscon
   Corporation (the remaining unit of the Systems Group) to Logicon, Inc.
   for a cash price of $45,000.  In connection with this sale, the Company
   recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of applicable
   income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

   Inventories valued using the LIFO method represented approximately
   59% and 80% of consolidated inventories at July 31, 1996 and October
   31, 1995, respectively.

(e)     Research and Development Expense
       ---------------------------------

   Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  Such costs
   incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements
   to existing products amounted to $9,772 and $7,914 for the three months
   and $26,096 and $22,748 for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 and
   1995, respectively. Certain capital expenditures used in research activities
   are capitalized and depreciated over their expected useful lives.

   The 7 1/4% Debentures were issued on December 19, 1995 at 99.153%
   in connection with the Company's acquisition of Dobson.  The
   debentures mature on December 15, 2025, are not redeemable prior to
   maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements.  Interest
   on the debentures is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15
   of each year.                                       

   In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as a result of the repayment of the Joy
   Bank Facility and the partial redemption of the 10 1/4% Senior Notes,
   the Company recorded an extraordinary loss on debt retirement, net of
   applicable income taxes, of $(3,481) or $(0.08) per share consisting
   primarily of unamortized financing costs and redemption premiums.

   In November, 1993, the Company entered into a four-year Revolving
   Credit Facility Agreement with certain domestic and foreign financial
   institutions that allowed for borrowings of up to $150,000 at rates
   expressed in relation to LIBOR and other rates. In November, 1994, the
   facility was increased to $240,000 and was extended to November,
   1998.  In December, 1995, the Agreement was amended to provide for
   an expiration date of November, 2000.  A facility fee is payable on the
   Agreement.  At July 31, 1996, there were no direct outstanding
   borrowings under the Facility.  Commercial paper borrowings are
   considered a utilization of the Facility, which, as of July 31, 1996,
   amounted to $46,023.

(h)     Contingent Liabilities
       --------------------------

   At July 31, 1996, the Company was contingently liable to banks,
   financial institutions, and others for approximately $275,000 for
   outstanding letters of credit securing performance of sales contracts and
   other guarantees in the ordinary course of business. The Company may
   also guarantee performance of its equipment at levels specified in sales
   contracts without the requirement for letters of credit. Performance
   guarantees are a normal part of the Company's business.

<PAGE>
   
   In addition, the Company provides a back-up bonding guarantee facility
   for certain bid, performance and other contract bonds issued by H-K
   Systems, Inc., formerly Harnischfeger Engineers, Inc.  The amount of
   guarantees outstanding cannot exceed $70,000 during fiscal 1996, with
   the maximum amount decreasing to zero by November, 1998.
   Outstanding contract bonds under the guarantee arrangement totaled
   approximately $47,800 at July 31, 1996; H-K Systems, Inc. typically
   requires similar bonds from its major subcontractors. Such guarantees
   have been part of H-K Systems' business in the past and have not
   resulted in significant cash outlays. The back-up facility may not be used
   for new types of business or for projects outside of North America, nor
   does it permit exposure to consequential damages on commercial
   contracts.

   The Company is a party to litigation matters, claims and performance
   guarantees which are normal in the course of its operations and large
   damages are at times sought in litigation against the Company.  While
   the results of litigation, claims and guarantees cannot be predicted with
   certainty, management presently believes that the final outcome of such
   matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
   consolidated financial position or results of operations.

   The Company is also involved in a number of proceedings and potential
   proceedings relating to environmental matters. Although it is difficult to
   estimate the potential exposure to the Company related to these
   environmental matters, the Company believes that these matters will not
   have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or
   results of operations.

(i)     Sale of Measurex Stock
       ----------------------------

   On December 29, 1994, Measurex Corporation ("Measurex")
   repurchased 2,026,900 shares of its stock which had been purchased by
   the Company.  On June 23, 1995, Measurex repurchased the remaining
   1,613,100 shares of its stock.  These transactions resulted in a combined
   pretax gain of $29,657 in fiscal 1995.  Measurex continues to have
   cooperative agreements with Beloit.

(j)     Equity
        --------

   In fiscal 1996, the Company issued 347,857 shares of restricted stock to
   buy out the employment contracts of certain senior executive officers. 
   Shares are forfeited if the officer voluntarily terminates employment
   before age 55.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

 THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND 1995
 ------------------------------------------------
      (Amounts in thousands unless indicated)

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements.  When used
in this document, terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"indicate," "intends," "may be," "objective," "plan," "predict,"  and "will be" 
are intended to identify such statements.  Forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause
actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those
described in Item 5. Other Information - "Cautionary  Factors" in Part II of
this report.

Net income for the three and nine months ended July 31, 1996 amounted to
$37,692, or $0.80 per share, and $94,438, or $2.01 per share, as compared
to net income of $37,612, or $0.81 per share, for the three months and  net
income of $33,959, or $0.73 per share for the nine months ended July 31,
1995. Income from continuing operations amounted to $37,692, or $0.80 per
share, for the three months and $94,438, or $2.01 per share, for the nine
months ended July 31, 1996 as compared to income of $37,612, or $0.81 per
share, for the three months and $61,850, or $1.34 per share, for the nine
months ended July 31, 1995.  

Net results for the nine months ended July 31, 1995 were reduced by charges
of $(24,410), or $(0.53) per share for losses from discontinued operations
(Joy Environmental Technologies, Inc. and Syscon).  Results for the nine
months ended July 31, 1995 were also reduced by a charge of $(3,481), or
$(0.08) per share, for the extraordinary loss on retirement of debt related to
repayment of the Joy Bank Facility and some Joy 10 1/4% Senior Notes.

Per share calculations for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 were based
on 47,075 and 46,064 average shares outstanding, respectively. 

Significant factors contributing to the $32,588 increase in income from
continuing operations for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to 1995
included:  (1) a $83,509 increase in operating income as described in the
Segment Information section which follows, and (2) Joy merger costs of
$17,459 in fiscal 1995, offset by (3) a $14,058 increase in interest expense
resulting from additional debt incurred from the Dobson and IMPCO
acquisitions, (4) a $21,600 increase in the provision for income taxes due to
higher pre-tax income,  (5) a $3,065 increase in minority interest in 1996 due
to higher after-tax results of certain operations owned in part by other 
entities and (6) the $29,657 gain on sale of the Measurex investment in 1995.   

In December, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of Joy Environmental Technologies, Inc. to Babcock and Wilcox,
an operating unit of McDermott International, for $11,651.  The loss on sale
of discontinued operation, net of applicable income taxes, was recorded in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

On February 16, 1995, the Company completed the sale of Syscon
Corporation to Logicon, Inc. for a cash price of $45,000.  In connection with
this sale, the Company recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations, net
of applicable income taxes, in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Segment Information - Continuing Operations
- -------------------------------------------

Net sales of the Mining Equipment segment amounted to $1,056,564 and
$685,338 for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing a 54% increase in 1996 as compared to 1995.  The sales increase
is primarily due to the acquisition of Longwall and to increases in both
original equipment and aftermarket activity for both surface and underground
mining operations.  Operating profit increased to $133,805 for the first nine
months of 1996 as compared to $86,505 in 1995.  The increase in operating
profit is primarily due to the acquisition of Longwall and strong surface
mining results.  Bookings for the first nine months of 1996 amounted to
$1,002,774 as compared to $679,941 for the same period in 1995.  Markets
for surface mining products were strong worldwide, particularly in Australia,
and are expected to continue.  The markets for underground mining
equipment likewise were strong, especially outside the United States, and are
also expected to continue. 


The Papermaking Machinery and Systems segment contributed sales and
operating profit of $868,730 and $65,936, respectively, for the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to net sales of $681,288 and operating profit
of $33,765 for the corresponding period in 1995.  Sales increased 28% in
1996 over 1995 due primarily to an increase in sales of original equipment
and rebuilds.   Operating profit reflected stronger sales and improved
margins.  Bookings for the first nine months of 1996 amounted to $901,438
as compared to $749,289 for the same period in 1995, with particular
strength in the Pacific Rim.   

The Material Handling segment contributed sales and operating profit of
$226,651 and $20,734, respectively, for the first nine months of 1996, as
compared to sales of $171,432 and operating profit of $15,546 for the
comparable period in 1995.  Sales increased primarily due to increases in
original equipment and aftermarket sales.  Operating profit increased as a
result of increased sales and improved margins.  Bookings for the first nine
months of 1996 and 1995 amounted to $245,261 and $169,496, respectively,
due to an increase in worldwide machine bookings.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for continuing operations
for the first nine months of 1996 was 36% compared to a 35% federal
statutory tax rate.  The principal reason for the difference between the
effective rate and the statutory tax rate is nondeductible goodwill partially
offset by the availability of tax credits.


Liquidity and Cash Flows

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
- -----------------------------------

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $27,402 for the nine months
ended July 31, 1996 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities
of $22,296 for the comparable period in 1995.  The increase in cash flows
between periods is primarily the result of increases in net income, accounts
payable and other current liablities offset by increases in accounts receivable
and inventories.

Net working capital, exclusive of businesses held for sale, decreased
$244,534 during the nine months ended July 31, 1996 primarily due to
increases in short-term notes payable and a decline in cash and cash
equivalents resulting from the acquisitions of Dobson and the Pulp Machinery
Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company.

Cash Flow for Investment Activities
- ------------------------------------------

Cash flow applied to investment activities was $411,973 for the nine months
ended July 31, 1996 compared to cash flow provided by investment activities
of $80,730 for the comparable period in  1995.  The change is due to the
$330,000 acquisition of Dobson in early fiscal 1996 and the $119,230
acquisition of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company in
March, 1996, offset by proceeds of $73,521 from the sale of certain of the
industrial electronic and toys/plastics businesses of Dobson.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities
- -------------------------------------------

The $183,860 cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996  was due to the issuance of $150,000 of 7 1/4% debentures, and
a $37,209 increase in short-term notes payable in connection with the
acquisition of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company and
Dobson.

Financing activities for the nine months of fiscal 1995 included $95,458 for
redemption of Joy's remaining Bank Facility and partial redemption of Joy's
10 1/4% Senior Notes.  As a result of the redemptions of the Bank Facility
and Senior Notes, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss on debt
retirement, net of applicable taxes, of $(3,481), or $(0.08) per share
consisting primarily of unamortized financing costs and redemption
premiums.

<PAGE>

The Statement of Cash Flows for the nine month period ended July 31, 1995
reflects the $23,706 use of cash by Joy during the period February 26, 1994
to November 1, 1994.

The Company maintains the ability to expand its borrowings in several ways,
including the following:

(1)     A Revolving Credit Financing Facility Agreement expiring November,
        2000, between the Company and certain domestic and foreign financial
        institutions that allows for borrowings of up to $240,000 at rates
        expressed in relation to LIBOR and other rates.  At July 31, 1996,
        there were no direct outstanding borrowings under the Facility. 
        Commercial paper borrowings are considered a utilization of the
        Facility, which, as of July 31, 1996, amounted to $46,023.


(2)     Short-term bank credit lines of foreign subsidiaries of approximately
        $136,800, of which approximately $29,740 was outstanding at July 31,
        1996.

(3)     In April, 1996, the Company filed a shelf registration with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission for up to $200,000 of debt
        securities.  To date, no securities have been issued under this
        registration. 

The Company believes its available cash and borrowing capacity provide
adequate liquidity to meet its short-term and long-term obligations.  

The Company has no significant capital commitments as of July 31, 1996; any
future capital commitments are expected to be funded through cash flow from
operations and, if necessary, available borrowings.

The Company intends to continue to expand its businesses, both internally
and through acquisitions. It is expected that new acquisitions would be
financed primarily by internally generated funds or additional borrowings.

Acquisitions
- ---------------

In early fiscal 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of Dobson for
a purchase price of approximately $330,000 including acquisition costs, plus
the assumption of debt of approximately $75,300.  The acquisition was
accounted for as a purchase transaction with the purchase price allocated to
specific assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  This allocation was based on
preliminary estimates and may be revised at a later date.  Resultant goodwill
is being amortized over 40 years.

Dobson, headquartered in the United Kingdom, was an industrial engineering
group with interests in underground mining equipment, industrial electronic
control systems, toys and plastics.  Longwall International, one of the main
subsidiaries of Dobson, is engaged in the manufacture, sale and service of
underground mining equipment for the international coal mining industry. 
Longwall's products include electronically controlled roof support systems,
armored face conveyors, pumps and belt conveyor components and systems. 
The Company has formulated a plan to fully integrate Longwall's operations
into Joy Mining Machinery, thus enabling Joy to offer integrated underground
longwall mining systems to the worldwide mining industry.  As a result of 

<PAGE>

this plan, the Company has established purchase accounting reserves to
provide for the estimated costs of this effort.  The costs to be incurred relate
primarily to the closure of selected manufacturing and service facilities. 

Company management anticipates that the majority of these costs will be
incurred in fiscal 1996 and 1997.  As of July 31, 1996, approximately
$19,200 of the reserves had been used.  Longwall's operating results for the
nine months ended July 31, 1996 are included in the July 31, 1996
consolidated statement of income.

The industrial electronic and toys/plastics businesses are held for sale and are
separately classified as such on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  These
businesses were originally valued at $100,000.  Certain of the businesses have
been sold, aggregating net proceeds of $73,521. The remaining balance
represents the net realizable value including the cash flow from the remaining
businesses held for sale which are expected to be sold within the next year.

On March 27, 1996, the Company's Beloit Corporation subsidiary purchased
the assets of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company for
$119,230, including acquisition costs.  The acquisition was accounted for as
a purchase transaction with the purchase price allocated to specific assets
acquired and liabilities assumed.  This allocation was based on preliminary
estimates and may be revised at a later date.  Resultant goodwill is being
amortized over 40 years.

On November 29, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of Joy
through a stock-for-stock merger with the acquisition accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Effective November 1, 1994, the fiscal year of Joy was
conformed to the Company's fiscal year. Transaction costs related to the
merger of $17,459 ($11,384 net of tax or $0.24 per share) were charged to
income during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

Sale of Measurex Stock
- ----------------------------

On December 29, 1994, Measurex Corporation repurchased 2,026,900 shares
of its stock which had been purchased by the Company.  On June 23, 1995,
Measurex repurchased the remaining 1,613,100 shares of its stock.  These
transactions resulted in a combined pretax gain of $29,657 in fiscal 1995. 
Measurex continues to have cooperative agreements with Beloit.

Item 4  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
        ---------------------------------------------------

   The information called for by this Item was previously reported in
   response to Item 4 of Harnischfeger's report on Form 10-Q for
   the quarterly period ending April 30, 1996.
        
Item 5  Other Information "Cautionary Factors"
        --------------------------------------

   This report and other documents or oral statements which have
   been and will be prepared or made in the future contain or may
   contain forward-looking statements by or on behalf of the
   Company.  Such statements are based upon management's
   expectations at the time they are made.  In addition to the
   assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in
   connection with such statements, the following factors, among
   others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
   contemplated.

<PAGE>

   The Company's principal businesses involve designing,
   manufacturing, marketing and servicing large, complex machines
   for the mining, papermaking and capital goods industries.  Long
   periods  of time are necessary to plan, design and build these
   machines.  With respect to new machines and equipment, there are
   risks of customer acceptances and start-up or performance
   problems.  Large amounts of capital are required to be devoted by
   the Company's customers to purchase these machines and to
   finance the mines, paper mills, steel mills and other facilities that
   use these machines.  The Company's success in obtaining and
   managing a relatively small number of sales opportunities can have
   a material effect on the Company's financial performance.  In
   addition, many projects are located in developing economies
   where business conditions are less predictable. In recent years,
   approximately 46% of the Company's total sales occurred outside
   the United States. 

   Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
   from those contemplated include:

   -    Factors affecting purchases of new equipment, rebuilds, parts
        and services such as: production capacity, stockpiles and
        production and consumption rates of coal, copper, iron, gold,
        fiber, paper/paperboard, recycled paper, steel and other
        commodities; the cash flows of customers; the cost and
        availability of financing to customers and the ability of
        customers to obtain regulatory approval for investments in
        mining, papermaking, steel making, automotive
        manufacturing and other heavy industrial projects; the ages,
        efficiencies and utilization rates of existing equipment; the
        development of new technologies; the availability of used or
        alternative equipment; consolidations among customers;
        work stoppages at customers or providers of transportation;
        and the timing, severity and duration of customer buying
        cycles, particularly in the paper and mining businesses.

   -    Factors affecting the Company's ability to capture available
        sales opportunities, including: customers' perceptions of the
        quality and value of the Company's products as compared to
        competitors' products; the existence of patents protecting or
        restricting the Company's ability to offer features requested
        by customers; whether the Company has successful reference
        installations to show customers, especially for papermaking
        and mining equipment; customers' perceptions of the health
        and stability of the Company as compared to its competitors;
        the Company's ability to offer competitive seller financing
        programs; the availability of manufacturing capacity at the
        Company's factories; and whether the Company can offer the
        complete package of products and services sought by its
        customers.

   -    Factors affecting the Company's ability to successfully
        manage sales it obtains, such as: the accuracy of the
        Company's cost and time estimates for major projects; the
        Company's success in completing projects on time and within
        budget; the Company's success in recruiting and retaining
        managers and key employees; wage stability and cooperative
        labor relations; plant capacity and utilization; and whether
        acquisitions are assimilated and divestitures completed
        without notable surprises or unexpected difficulties.

<PAGE>

   -    Factors affecting the Company's general business, such as:
        unforeseen patent, tax, product, environmental, employee
        health or benefit or contractual liabilities; nonrecurring
        restructuring charges; changes in accounting or tax rules or
        regulations; and reassessments of asset valuations such as
