NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -----------------------------
April 30, 1996
- --------------
(Amounts in thousands unless indicated)

(a) Basis of Presentation
   ---------------------
   In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
   for the fair presentation of the results of operations
   for the three and six months ended April 30, 1996 and
   1995, cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 1996
   and 1995, and financial position at April 30, 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, is 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.  As of April 30, 1996,
   approximately $4,800 of the reserves had been used. 
   Longwall's operating results for the six months ended
   April 30, 1996 are included in the April 30, 1996
   consolidated statement of income.







   The following unaudited pro forma results of operations
   give effect to the acquisition of Dobson as if it had
   occurred on November 1, 1994:

</TABLE>

   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  $50,601. 
   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 and its Beloit Corporation
   subsidiary purchased  the assets of the Pulp Machinery
   Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company ("IMPCO") for
   approximately $125,000.  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 56% and 80% of consolidated inventories at
   April 30, 1996 and October 31, 1995, respectively.

   Inventories have been reduced by $5,314 and $6,051 at

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, commencing June 15, 1996.                        

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
Facility.  At April 30, 1996, there were direct outstanding
borrowings of $60,000 under the Facility.  In addition,
commercial paper borrowings are considered a utilization of
the Facility, which, as of April 30, 1996, amounted to
$32,350.

(h) Contingent Liabilities
   ----------------------
   At April 30, 1996, the Company was contingently liable to
   banks, financial institutions, and others for
   approximately $238,000 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 and have not
   resulted in significant cash outlays.
   
   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 $64,600 at April 30,
   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.  The transaction reduced the
   Company's interest in Measurex from 20% to 10%.  The
   Company recorded a gain in Other Income in the first
   quarter of fiscal 1995 in connection with the sale of
   Measurex shares.  On June 23, 1995, Measurex repurchased
   the remaining 1,613,100 shares of its stock.  These
   transactions resulted in a combined gain of $29,657 in
   fiscal 1995.  Measurex continues to have cooperative
   agreements with Beloit.


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

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------
(Amounts in thousands unless indicated)

The following discussion and the foregoing Notes to Financial
Statements contain 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 six months ended April 30, 1996
amounted to $33,555, or $0.71 per share, and $56,746, or
$1.21 per share, as compared to net income of $19,269, or
$0.42 per share, for the three months and a net loss of
$(3,653), or $(0.08) per share for the six months ended April
30, 1995. Income from continuing operations amounted to
$33,555, or $0.71 per share, for the three months and $
56,746, or $1.21 per share, for the six months ended April
30, 1996 as compared to income of $21,045, or $0.46 per
share, for the three months and $24,238, or $0.53 per share,
for the six months ended April 30, 1995.  

Net results for the three and six months ended April 30, 1995
were reduced by charges of $(1,776) or $(0.04) per share for
the loss from the discontinued operation Joy Environmental
Technologies, Inc., and $(24,410), or $(0.53) per share for
losses from discontinued operations (Joy Environmental
Technologies, Inc. and Syscon).  Results for the six months
ended April 30, 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 six months of 1996 and
1995 were based on 46,929 and 45,868 average shares
outstanding, respectively. 

Significant factors contributing to the $32,508 increase in
income from continuing operations for the first six months of
1996 as compared to 1995 included:  (1) a $43,964 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 $6,329 increase in interest
expense resulting from additional debt incurred from the
Dobson acquisition, (4) a $20,250 increase in the provision
for income taxes due to higher pre-tax income and (5) a
$2,336 increase in minority interest in 1996 due to higher,
after-tax results of certain operations owned in part by
other entities.  

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 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
$673,045 and $452,223 for the first six months of 1996 and
1995, respectively, representing a 49% increase in 1996 as
compared to 1995.  The sales increase is primarily due to the
addition of Longwall and to increases in both original
equipment and aftermarket activity for both surface and
underground mining operations.  Operating profit increased to
$81,332 for the first six months of 1996 as compared to
$56,876 in 1995.  The increase in operating profit is
primarily due to the addition of Longwall and strong surface
mining results.  Bookings for the first six months of 1996
amounted to $614,429 as compared to $433,667 for the same
period in 1995. 

The Papermaking Machinery and Systems segment contributed
sales and operating profit of $554,400 and $41,860,
respectively, for the first six months of 1996, as compared
to net sales of $427,911 and operating profit of $25,146 for
the corresponding period in 1995.  Sales increased 30% in
1996 over 1995 due primarily to an increase in sales of
original equipment and rebuilds.   Operating profit reflected
stronger gross margins due to stronger sales and improved
margins. Income in the first quarter of 1995 included a gain
recognized in connection with the sale of Measurex shares. 
Bookings for the first six months of 1996 amounted to
$521,497 as compared to $494,246 for the same period in 1995. 

The Material Handling segment contributed sales and operating
profit of $144,748 and $12,678, respectively, for the first
six months of 1996, as compared to sales of $110,248 and
operating profit of $9,549 for the comparable period in 1995. 
Sales increased primarily due to an increase in original
equipment sales.  Operating profit increased as a result of
increased sales and improved margins.  Bookings for the first
six months of 1996 and 1995 amounted to $167,773 and
$115,702, respectively due to an increase in machine
bookings.

Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company's estimated annual effective tax rate for
continuing operations for the first six 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

The Company's capital structure at April 30, 1996 and October
31, 1995 was as follows:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
- -----------------------------------
Cash flow used by operating activities was $32,275 for the
six months ended April 30, 1996 compared to cash flows
provided by operating activities of $1,082 for the comparable
period in 1995.  The decrease in cash flows between periods
is primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable
due to increased sales, an increase in inventory and a
decrease in employee compensation and benefits offset by an
increase in advance payments and other current liabilities.

Net working capital, exclusive of businesses held for sale,
decreased $235,697 during the six months ended April 30, 1996
primarily due to increases in short-term notes payable and a
decline in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the
acquisition of Dobson and the Pulp Machinery Division of
Ingersoll-Rand Company.

Cash Flow from Investment Activities
- ------------------------------------
Cash flow applied to investment activities was $420,796 for
the six months ended April 30, 1996 compared to cash flow
provided by investment activities of $64,988 for the
comparable period in  1995.  The change is due to the
$330,000 acquisition of Dobson in early fiscal 1996 and the
$125,000 acquisition of the Pulp Machinery Division of
Ingersoll-Rand Company in March 1996 offset by proceeds of
$50,601 from the sale of certain of the industrial electronic
and toys/plastics businesses of Dobson.

Cash Flow for Financing Activities
- ----------------------------------
The $256,917 cash provided by financing activities in the
first six months of fiscal 1996  was due to the issuance of
$150,000, 7 1/4% debentures, $60,000 direct borrowings from
the Revolving Credit Facility and a $50,498 increase in
short-term notes payable in connection with the acquisitions
of the Pulp Machinery Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company and
Dobson.

Financing activities for the second quarter 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.

The Statement of Cash Flows for the six month period ended
April 30, 1995 has been adjusted  to reflect 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 April 30, 1996,
        there were direct outstanding borrowings of $60,000
        under the Facility.  In addition, commercial paper
        borrowings are considered a utilization of the Facility,
        which, as of April 30, 1996, amounted to $32,350.

(2)     Short-term bank credit lines of foreign subsidiaries of
        approximately $181,500, of which approximately $55,300
        was outstanding at April 30, 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
April 30, 1996; any future capital commitments are expected
to be funded through cash flow from operations and, if
necessary, available lines of credit.

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, is 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 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.  As of April 30, 1996,
approximately $4,800 of the reserves had been used. 
Longwall's operating results for the six months ended April
30, 1996 are included in the April 30, 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 $50,601. 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 year.

On March 27, 1996, the Company's Beloit Corporation
subsidiary purchased the assets of the Pulp Machinery
Division of Ingersoll-Rand Company for approximately
$125,000.  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.  The transaction reduced the Company's interest in
Measurex from 20% to 10%.  The Company recorded a gain in
Other Income in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 in
connection with the sale of Measurex shares.  On June 23,
1995, Measurex repurchased the remaining 1,613,100 shares of
its stock.  These transactions resulted in a combined gain of
$29,657 in fiscal 1995.  Measurex continues to have
cooperative agreements with Beloit.

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.

   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 undeveloped or 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.

   -    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 inventories.

   -    Factors affecting general business levels, such
        as: political turmoil and economic growth in
        major markets such as the United States, Canada,
        Europe, The Far East, South Africa, Australia
        and Chile; environmental and trade regulations;
        and the stability and ease of exchange of
        currencies.
