           Harnischfeger Industries, Inc.
           Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
                Financial Statements

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements of Harnischfeger
Industries, Inc. 

The pro forma data is presented for informational
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the operating results or financial position that
would have occurred had the divestiture of 
Material Handling been consummated on the dates
indicated, nor is such data necessarily indicative
of future operating results or financial position. 
There is no assurance that similar results will be
achieved in the future.  Allocations and
adjustments have been based on the best
information currently available.

The accompanying pro forma condensed balance sheet
reflects the use of the after-tax proceeds from
the sale of approximately $300 million to
initially pay down debt.

The historical statements of income of
Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. for fiscal years
ended October 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the
first quarters of fiscal 1997 and 1998 have been
restated to reflect the Material Handling business
as a discontinued operation.  The results of the
discontinued operations do not reflect any
interest expense or management fees allocated by
the Company.

NOTE 1 - The pro forma condensed statements of
income have been prepared assuming that the
divestiture of Material Handling occurred on
November 1, 1996, and the pro forma condensed
balance sheet has been prepared assuming that the
divestiture of Material Handling occurred as of
January 31, 1998.
