                         HARNISCHFEGER INDUSTRIES, INC.
                    (Debtor-in-Possession as of June 7, 1999)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 April 30, 2000
                                   (Unaudited)


(a)   Reorganization under Chapter 11

      On June 7,  1999,  Harnischfeger  Industries,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and
      substantially all of its domestic  operating  subsidiaries  (collectively,
      the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization  under Chapter
      11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code (the  "Bankruptcy  Code")  in the  United
      States  Bankruptcy  Court for the  District of Delaware  (the  "Bankruptcy
      Court")  and orders for relief  were  entered.  The  Debtors  include  the
      Company's principal domestic operating subsidiaries,  P&H Mining Equipment
      ("P&H") and Joy Mining Machinery  ("Joy"),  as well as Beloit  Corporation
      ("Beloit"). The Company's Pulp and Paper Machinery segment owned by Beloit
      and its subsidiaries (the "Beloit Segment") is presented as a discontinued
      operation  as  is  more  fully   discussed  in  Note  (c)  -  Discontinued
      Operations.  The Debtors' Chapter 11 cases are being jointly  administered
      for  procedural  purposes  only under case  number  99-2171.  The issue of
      substantive  consolidation  of the Debtors has not been addressed.  Unless
      Debtors  are  substantively   consolidated   under  a  confirmed  plan  of
      reorganization,   payment  of  prepetition   claims  of  each  Debtor  may
      substantially differ from payment of prepetition claims of other Debtors.

      The   Debtors   are    currently    operating    their    businesses    as
      debtors-in-possession  pursuant to the  Bankruptcy  Code.  Pursuant to the
      Bankruptcy  Code,  actions  to  collect  prepetition  indebtedness  of the
      Debtors and other contractual obligations of the Debtors generally may not
      be  enforced.  In addition,  under the  Bankruptcy  Code,  the Debtors may
      assume or reject  executory  contracts  and unexpired  leases.  Additional
      prepetition   claims  may  arise  from  such  rejections,   and  from  the
      determination  by the  Bankruptcy  Court (or as agreed by the  parties  in
      interest) to allow claims for  contingencies  and other disputed  amounts.
      From time to time since the Chapter 11 filing,  the  Bankruptcy  Court has
      approved motions allowing the Debtors to reject certain business contracts
      that were deemed burdensome or of no value to the respective Debtor. As of
      June 14,  2000,  the Debtors had not  completed  their review of all their
      prepetition  executory  contracts and leases for  assumption or rejection.
      See Note (f) - Liabilities Subject to Compromise.

      The  Debtors  received  approval  from  the  Bankruptcy  Court  to  pay or
      otherwise  honor  certain  of  their  prepetition  obligations,  including
      employee wages and product warranties.  In addition,  the Bankruptcy Court
      authorized the Debtors to maintain their employee benefit programs.  Funds
      of qualified  pension  plans and savings plans are in trusts and protected
      under federal regulations.  All required  contributions are current in the
      respective plans.

      The Debtors have the exclusive right, until August 16, 2000 to file a plan
      or plans of  reorganization.  Such period has been  extended  from time to
      time  during the  pendancy  of the  Debtors'  bankruptcy  cases and may be
      extended at the  discretion of the  Bankruptcy  Court.  Subject to certain
      exceptions  set  forth in the  Bankruptcy  Code,  acceptance  of a plan of
      reorganization   requires   approval  of  the  Bankruptcy  Court  and  the
      affirmative  vote (i.e.,  more than 50% of the number and at least 66-2/3%
      of the dollar amount,  both based on claims  actually voted) of each class
      of  creditors  and equity  holders  whose claims are impaired by the plan.
      Alternatively,   absent  the  requisite  approvals,   a  Debtor  may  seek
      Bankruptcy  Court  approval of its  reorganization  plan under  "cramdown"
      provisions of the Bankruptcy  Code,  assuming  certain tests are met. If a
      Debtor  fails to submit a plan of  reorganization  within the  exclusivity
      period prescribed or any extensions thereof, any creditor or equity holder
      will be free to file a plan of  reorganization  with the Bankruptcy  Court
      and solicit acceptances thereof.

      February  29,  2000  was set by the  Bankruptcy  Court  as the  last  date
      creditors  could file proofs of claim  against the  Debtors.  There may be
      differences  between the amounts  recorded in the Debtors'  schedules  and
      financial   statements  and  the  amounts  claimed  by  their   respective
      creditors. Litigation may be required to resolve such disputes.

      The Debtors will continue to incur  significant  costs associated with the
      reorganizations. The amount of these expenses, which are being expensed as
      incurred,  is expected to  significantly  affect results while the Debtors
      operate under Chapter 11. See Note (d) - Reorganization Items.

      Currently,  it is not  possible  to predict the length of time the Debtors
      will  operate  under the  protection  of Chapter  11,  the  outcome of the
      Chapter 11 proceedings in general, or the effect of the proceedings on the
      business of the Company or on the  interests of the various  creditors and
      security holders.

     Under  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  postpetition   liabilities  and  prepetition
     liabilities (i.e.,  liabilities  subject to compromise) of the Company must
     be  satisfied   before   shareholders   of  the  Company  can  receive  any
     distribution.  The ultimate recovery to the Company's shareholders, if any,
     will not be determined until the end of the case when the fair value of the
     Company's  assets is compared  to the  liabilities  and claims  against the
     Company.  The Company  and the other  Debtors  are  currently  engaged in a
     comprehensive  analysis and  reconciliation  of claims filed by  creditors.
     Based on the Company's  analysis to date of (a) scheduled and filed claims,
     (b) any  potential  recovery  from the sale of  Beloit  assets  and (c) the
     valuation of the Company,  P&H and Joy as going concerns,  there appears to
     be sufficient value to pay in full all claims against P&H and Joy. However,
     there appears to be  insufficient  value to pay in full all claims  against
     the  Company.  Accordingly,  it  appears  unlikely  that any value  will be
     distributed  to  the  Company's  shareholders.  There  also  appears  to be
     insufficient  value  to pay in full all  claims  against  Beloit.  The U.S.
     Trustee for the District of Delaware has appointed an Official Committee of
     Equity Holders to represent the Company's  shareholders  in the proceedings
     before the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements of the Company and its
     consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared on a going concern basis which
     contemplates   continuity  of  operations,   realization  of  assets,   and
     liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary  course of business and does not
     reflect adjustments that might result if the Debtors (other than Beloit and
     Beloit's Debtor subsidiaries) are unable to continue as going concerns.  As
     a result of the  Debtors'  Chapter 11 filings,  such matters are subject to
     significant  uncertainty.  The  Debtors  intend  to file a plan or plans of
     reorganization  with the  Bankruptcy  Court.  Continuing on a going concern
     basis is dependent upon, among other things, the Debtors' formulation of an
     acceptable plan or plans of reorganization,  the success of future business
     operations,  and the  generation of  sufficient  cash from  operations  and
     financing  sources to meet the Debtors'  obligations.  Other than recording
     the estimated loss on the disposal of the Beloit discontinued operations in
     the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the consolidated financial statements do
     not reflect:  (a) the realizable value of assets on a liquidation  basis or
     their  availability  to  satisfy  liabilities;  (b)  aggregate  prepetition
     liability amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or their
     status or priority;  (c) the effect of any changes to the Debtors'  capital
     structures  or in the  Debtors'  business  operations  as the  result  of a
     confirmed  plan or  plans  of  reorganization;  or (d)  adjustments  to the
     carrying  value of assets  (including  goodwill and other  intangibles)  or
     liability  amounts  that may be  necessary  as the result of actions by the
     Bankruptcy Court.

     The Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  presented in
     conformity  with  the  AICPA's  Statement  of  Position  90-7,   "Financial
     Reporting By Entities In Reorganization  Under the Bankruptcy Code," issued
     November  19,  1990  ("SOP  90-7").  SOP 90-7  requires  a  segregation  of
     liabilities  subject  to  compromise  by  the  Bankruptcy  Court  as of the
     bankruptcy  filing date and  identification  of all transactions and events
     that are directly associated with the reorganization of the Debtors.

     In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  necessary  for the fair
     presentation  on a going concern basis of the results of operations for the
     three and six months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999,  cash flows for the six
     months ended April 30, 2000 and 1999,  and financial  position at April 30,
     2000 have been made. All adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature,
     except for those more fully discussed in these notes.

     These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
     Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999.

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

(c) Discontinued Operations

In light of  continuing  losses at Beloit and  following  an  evaluation  of the
prospects of  reorganizing  the Beloit  Segment,  on October 8, 1999 the Company
announced its plan to dispose of this  segment.  Subsequently,  Beloit  notified
certain of its foreign  subsidiaries that they could no longer expect funding of
their operations to be provided by either Beloit or the Company.  Certain of the
notified  subsidiaries  have since filed for or were placed into receivership or
other applicable forms of judicial supervision in their respective countries. On
May 12, 2000 the U.S. Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an Official
Committee  of  Unsecured  Creditors  of  Beloit  Corporation  to  represent  the
creditors of Beloit in proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court.

On  November  7,  1999,  the  Bankruptcy   Court  approved   procedures  and  an
implementation  schedule for the divestiture plan (the "Court Sales Procedures")
for the Beloit Segment.  Between  February and May 2000,  sales  agreements were
approved  under  the  Court  Sales  Procedures  with  respect  to  the  sale  of
substantially  all of the segment's  domestic  operating assets and the stock of
three of its foreign  subsidiaries.  As of June 14, 2000,  all approved sales of
domestic  assets had taken place.  Beloit  expects that closings on the sales of
its foreign  subsidiaries  will occur by the end of the third  quarter of fiscal
2000.

The Company  classified the Beloit  Segment as a  discontinued  operation in its
consolidated  financial  statements  as of October 31, 1999 and has  accordingly
restated the Company's  consolidated  statements of operations and statements of
cash flow for prior periods. Revenues for the Beloit Segment were $158.2 million
for the six months  ended April 30, 2000 and $392.8  million for the  comparable
period in 1999. Loss from discontinued  operations was $94.7 million for the six
months  ended April 30,  1999.  During  fiscal  1999,  the  Company  recorded an
estimated loss of $529.0 million on the disposal of the Beloit Segment including
an accrual for estimated  operating  losses to be incurred by the Beloit Segment
subsequent to October 31, 1999. Based on the actual results during the six-month
period  ended  April  30,  2000  and  consideration  of  the  current  estimates
associated  with the Beloit  wind-down  expenses  to be  incurred,  the  Company
believes that no adjustment to the original reserve is warranted as of April 30,
2000. (See Note (f) -- Liabilities Subject to Compromise for a discussion of the
APP settlement).

The Company,  Beloit and certain of their officers and employees have been named
as  defendants  in an  action  in the  Bankruptcy  Court in which  Omega  Papier
Wernhausen GmbH ("Omega") is the plaintiff. This action concerns prepetition and
postpetition  commitments allegedly made by the Company, Beloit and the officers
and employees named in the action with respect to a prepetition contract between
Omega and Beloit's Austrian  subsidiary under which Beloit's Austrian subsidiary
agreed  to  supply  a  tissue  paper  making  machine  for  Omega's  factory  in
Wernshausen,  Germany. The action makes claims of breach of guarantee,  tortuous
interference  with  business,  breach of covenant  of good  faith,  fraud in the
inducement and negligent  misrepresentation and seeks damages of $12 million for
each of nine  counts plus  punitive  damages of $24 million for four of the nine
counts. No discovery proceedings have taken place in this matter. As of June 14,
2000, the Company was not able to assess its ultimate liability,  if any, in the
matter.

(d) Reorganization Items

Reorganization  expenses are comprised of items of income, expense and loss that
were  realized  or  incurred  by the  Debtors as a result of their  decision  to
reorganize  under Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code.  During the three and six
months  ended April 30,  2000,  reorganization  expenses  related to  continuing
operations were as follows:

                                                  Three months      Six months

(e) Restructuring Charges

     In the third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999 Joy  announced  and  implemented  a
     restructuring  plan. An initial  reserve of $7.3 million was established in
     the third quarter of fiscal 1999,  primarily for the  impairment of certain
     assets  related  to  a  facility  rationalization.   In  addition,  charges
     amounting  to $4.7  million  were made in the third and  fourth  quarter of
     fiscal 1999 upon the  announcement  of the severance of  approximately  240
     employees.  Of the amount  reserved in fiscal  1999,  $0.7 million had been
     utilized  by the end of the  fiscal  year.  During  the first six months of
     fiscal 2000 a further $6.5 million  restructuring charge was recorded under
     the plan  primarily  for  rationalization  of  certain  of  Joy's  original
     equipment  manufacturing  capacity in the United  Kingdom,  and to a lesser
     extent  for the  initial  stage of  headcount  reductions  in South  Africa
     associated with a  reorganization  of Joy's business in that market.  These
     charges were made primarily for severance of approximately 195 employees in
     the  United  Kingdom  and  approximately  20  employees  in  South  Africa.
     Additional   future  cash  charges  of  $1.4  million  in  connection  with
     continuing cost reduction initiatives are expected to be incurred in fiscal
     2000.

Details of these restructuring charges are as follows:

(f) Liabilities Subject to Compromise

The  principal  categories  of  claims  classified  as  liabilities  subject  to
compromise under  reorganization  proceedings are identified  below. All amounts
below may be subject to future adjustment  depending on Bankruptcy Court action,
further   developments  with  respect  to  disputed  claims,  or  other  events.
Additional  prepetition claims may arise from rejection of additional  executory
contracts  or  unexpired  leases  by the  Debtors.  Under  a  confirmed  plan of
reorganization,  prepetition  claims  may be  paid  and  discharged  at  amounts
substantially  less  than  their  allowed  amounts.  The  issue  of  substantive
consolidation  of the  Debtors  has  not  been  addressed.  Unless  Debtors  are
substantively  consolidated  under a confirmed plan or plans of  reorganization,
payment of  prepetition  claims of each  Debtor may  substantially  differ  from
payment of prepetition claims of other Debtors.

Recorded liabilities:

On a  consolidated  basis,  recorded  liabilities  subject to  compromise  under
Chapter 11 proceedings consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

     As a result of the  bankruptcy  filings,  principal  and interest  payments
     maynot be made on  prepetition  debt without  Bankruptcy  Court approval or
     until a reorganization plan or plans defining the repayment terms have been
     confirmed.  The total  interest  on  prepetition  debt that was not paid or
     charged to earnings  for the period from June 7, 1999 to April 30, 2000 was
     $69.3  million,  of which $38.1 million  relates to the first six months of
     fiscal 2000.  Such  interest is not being  accrued since it is not probable
     that it will be treated as an allowed claim.  The Bankruptcy Code generally
     disallows the payment of interest that accrues postpetition with respect to
     unsecured claims.

     Contingent liabilities:

     At April 30, 2000, the Company was contingently liable to banks,  financial
     institutions and others for approximately $278.7 million ($311.2 million as
     of October 31, 1999) for outstanding  letters of credit,  bank  guarantees,
     surety bonds and other guarantees  securing  performance of sales contracts
     and other  obligations  in the ordinary  course of business.  Of the $278.7
     million:  approximately  $136.0 million  ($168.7  million as of October 31,
     1999) was  issued  at the  request  of the  Company  on  behalf of  Beloit;
     approximately  $152.7 million was issued at the request of Debtor  entities
     prior to the bankruptcy  filing;  and $47.8 million (October 31, 1999 $48.8
     million) was issued under the DIP Facility  (See Note (g) - Borrowings  and
     Credit Facilities). Contingent liabilities of the Debtors outstanding as of
     the bankruptcy filing date may also be subject to compromise. Additionally,
     there were $59.6 million  (October 31, 1999 $48.5  million) of  outstanding
     letters  of credit or other  guarantees  issued by non-US  banks for non-US
     subsidiaries.  Approximately  $15.2  million  of the  approximately  $278.7
     million  was  accrued  in  fiscal  1999  as  part  of the  loss  on  Beloit
     discontinued operations.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are party to litigation matters and claims
     that are normal in the course of their  operations.  Also, as a normal part
     of  their  operations,   the  Company's   subsidiaries   undertake  certain
     contractual  obligations,  warranties and guarantees in connection with the
     sale of products or services.  Although the outcome of these matters cannot
     be predicted  with  certainty and favorable or  unfavorable  resolution may
     affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter  basis, management
     believes that such matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the
     Company's consolidated financial position. Generally, litigation related to
     "claims", as defined by the Bankruptcy Code, against Debtors is stayed.

     The Potlatch lawsuit,  filed originally in 1995, related to a 1989 purchase
     of pulp line  washers  supplied by Beloit for less than $15.0  million.  In
     June 1997, a Lewiston, Idaho jury awarded Potlatch $95.0 million in damages
     in the case which, together with fees, costs and interest to April 2, 1999,
     approximated  $120.0  million.  On April 2, 1999 the Supreme Court of Idaho
     vacated the judgement of the Idaho District  Court in the Potlatch  lawsuit
     and remanded the case for a new trial. This litigation has been stayed as a
     result of the bankruptcy filings.

     In fiscal 1996 and 1997,  Beloit's Asian  subsidiaries  received orders for
     four fine papermaking  machines from Asia Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd. ("APP") for
     a total of  approximately  $600.0  million.  The  first two  machines  were
     substantially paid for and installed at APP facilities in Indonesia. Beloit
     sold approximately $44.0 million of receivables from APP on these first two
     machines  to a  financial  institution.  Beloit  agreed to  repurchase  the
     receivables in the event APP defaulted on the  receivables  and the Company
     guaranteed  this  repurchase  obligation.  As of June 14, 2000, the Company
     believes  APP was not in  default  with  respect  to the  receivables.  The
     machines are currently in the start-up/optimization  phase and are required
     to meet certain  contractual  performance  tests. The contracts provide for
     potential  liquidated damages,  including  performance  damages, in certain
     circumstances.  Beloit has had  discussions  with APP on certain claims and
     back charges on the first two machines.

     Disputes arose between Beloit and APP regarding the two remaining machines.
     On March 3,  2000,  the  Company  announced  the  signing  of a  definitive
     agreement  to  settle  the  disputes  and  related  arbitration  and  legal
     proceedings.  Under the  settlement,  APP paid $135.0  million to Beloit on
     April 6, 2000 and $15.9 million the Company had deposited  with a bank with
     respect to related  letters of credit was  released to the Company on April
     11, 2000. The $15.9 million was classified as other assets in the Company's
     consolidated  financial  statements  as of  October  31,  1999.  The $135.0
     million was paid $25.0  million in cash and $110.0  million in a three-year
     note  issued  by an APP  subsidiary  and  guaranteed  by APP.  The  note is
     governed by an indenture  and bears a fixed  interest  rate of 15%.  Beloit
     intends to sell the note to a third party for fair market value. In view of
     the  intention to sell the note and current  volatility  in the  applicable
     capital  markets for the note, no value for the note has been recognized in
     the financial  statements as of April 30, 2000.  The value for the note and
     its effect on the  financial  statements  will be  recognized in the period
     that the note is sold. As part of the  settlement,  Beloit retained a $46.0
     million  down payment it received  from APP for the second two  papermaking
     machines  and APP  released  all rights  with  respect to letters of credit
     issued  for the  aggregate  amount of the down  payment  for the second two
     papermaking  machines.  APP  acquired  certain  components  and spare parts
     produced  or  acquired  by Beloit in  connection  with the two  papermaking
     machines on an as is, where is basis.  In addition,  Beloit returned to APP
     certain  promissory  notes given to Beloit by APP. The notes were initially
     issued  in the  amount  of $59.0  million  and had an  aggregate  principal
     balance of $19.0 million when they were returned to APP.

     The Company and certain of its present and former  senior  executives  have
     been named as defendants in a class action,  captioned In re: Harnischfeger
     Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court
     for the Eastern  District of  Wisconsin.  This action  seeks  damages in an
     unspecified  amount on  behalf of an  alleged  class of  purchasers  of the
     Company's common stock, based principally on allegations that the Company's
     disclosures  with respect to the APP  contracts of Beloit  discussed  above
     violated the federal  securities laws. As regards the Company,  this matter
     is stayed by the automatic stay imposed by the  Bankruptcy  Code. On May 2,
     2000  the  Bankruptcy   Court   permitted  the  plaintiffs  to  seek  class
     certification  during the stay but  otherwise  stayed the  litigation  with
     respect to the other  defendants in the  litigation  until August 15, 2000.
     The Company may seek to further  extend the stay with  respect to the other
     defendants.

     The Company and certain of its current and former directors have been named
     defendants in a purported class action,  entitled Brickell Partners,  Ltd.,
     Plaintiff  vs.  Jeffery T. Grade et.  al.,  in the Court of Chancery of the
     State of Delaware.  This action seeks damages of an  unspecified  amount on
     behalf of shareholders  based on allegations that the defendants  failed to
     explore all reasonable alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

     The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are 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 the
     resolution  of these matters will not have a materially  adverse  effect on
     its consolidated financial position.

     Borrowings of the Company and its  consolidated  subsidiaries  consisted of
     the following:

     Debtor-in-Possession Financing

     On July 8, 1999 the  Bankruptcy  Court  approved a two-year,  $750  million
     Revolving  Credit,  Term Loan and Guaranty  Agreement  underwritten  by The
     Chase Manhattan Bank (the "DIP Facility") consisting of three tranches: (i)
     Tranche A is a $350 million  revolving  credit  facility with sublimits for
     import documentary  letters of credit of $20 million and standby letters of
     credit  of  $300  million;  (ii)  Tranche  B is a $200  million  term  loan
     facility;  and (iii) Tranche C is a $200 million  standby  letter of credit
     facility.  Effective May 30, 2000, the Company voluntarily reduced the size
     of the DIP  Facility to $350 million by  terminating  Tranches B and C. The
     reduced  size of the DIP  Facility  is more  in  line  with  the  Company's
     expected  borrowing  needs in light  of the  exit  from the Pulp and  Paper
     Machinery  business  and the  receipt of  proceeds  from the sale of Beloit
     assets. The reduction in the size of the DIP Facility will save the Company
     approximately $170,000 per month in loan commitment fees.

     Proceeds  from the DIP  Facility may be used to fund  postpetition  working
     capital and for other general corporate purposes during the term of the DIP
     Facility  and to pay up to $35  million of  prepetition  claims of critical
     vendors.  The Debtors are  permitted  to make loans and provide  letters of
     credit  in an  aggregate  amount  not to exceed  $240  million  to  foreign
     subsidiaries for specified  limited  purposes,  including up to $90 million
     for working capital needs of foreign subsidiaries and $110 million of loans
     and $110  million of letters of credit for support or repayment of existing
     credit  facilities.  The  Debtors  may use up to $40  million  (of the $240
     million) to issue stand-by  letters of credit to support  foreign  business
     opportunities.  Beginning  August 1, 1999, the DIP Facility imposes monthly
     minimum EBITDA tests and quarterly limits on capital expenditures. At April
     30, 2000,  $186 million in direct  borrowings  had been drawn under the DIP
     Facility and classified as a long-term  obligation and letters of credit in
     the face amount of $47.8  million had been issued  under the DIP  Facility.
     The Debtors are jointly and severally liable under the DIP Facility.

     The DIP Facility benefits from superpriority administrative claim status as
     provided  for under the  Bankruptcy  Code.  Under the  Bankruptcy  Code,  a
     superpriority claim is senior to unsecured prepetition claims and all other
     administrative  expenses incurred in the Chapter 11 case. Direct borrowings
     under  the DIP  Facility  are  priced  at  LIBOR + 2.75%  per  annum on the
     outstanding  borrowings.  Letters  of credit  are priced at 2.75% per annum
     (plus a fronting fee of 0.25% to the Agent) on the outstanding  face amount
     of each letter of credit. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee of
     0.50% per annum on the unused amount of the commitment  payable  monthly in
     arrears.  The  DIP  Facility  matures  on the  earlier  of the  substantial
     consummation of a plan of reorganization of the Company or June 6, 2001.

     In proceedings filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors agreed with the
     Official  Committee of Unsecured  Creditors  appointed by the U.S.  Trustee
     (the  "Creditors  Committee")  and with MFS Municipal  Income Trust and MFS
     Series Trust III (collectively,  the "MFS Funds"),  holders of certain debt
     issued by Joy,  to a number of  restrictions  regarding  transactions  with
     foreign subsidiaries and Beloit:

     o    The Debtors  agreed to give at least five days prior written notice to
          the Creditors Committee and to the MFS Funds of the Debtors' intention
          to (a) make loans or  advances  to, or  investments  in,  any  foreign
          subsidiary  for working  capital  purposes in an  aggregate  amount in
          excess of $90 million;  (b) make loans or advances to, or  investments
          in, any foreign subsidiary to repay the existing indebtedness or cause
          letters  of credit to be  issued in favor of a  creditor  of a foreign
          subsidiary  in an  aggregate  amount,  cumulatively,  in excess of $30
          million; or (c) make postpetition loans or advances to, or investments
          in, Beloit or any of Beloit's  subsidiaries in excess of $115 million.
          In September  1999, the Company  notified the Creditors  Committee and
          MFS Funds that it  intended  to exceed the $115  million  amount.  The
          Company  subsequently  agreed,  with the  approval  of the  Bankruptcy
          Court, to provide the Creditors Committee with weekly cash requirement
          forecasts  for  Beloit,  to restrict  funding of Beloit to  forecasted
          amounts,  to provide the  Creditors  Committee  access to  information
          about the Beloit divestiture and liquidation  process,  and to consult
          with the  Creditors  Committee  regarding the Beloit  divestiture  and
          liquidation process.

     o    In  addition,  the  Debtors  agreed to give  notice  to the  Creditors
          Committee and to the MFS Funds with respect to any liens created by or
          on a  foreign  subsidiary  or on any  of  its  assets  to  secure  any
          indebtedness.

     o    The Debtors agreed to notify the MFS Funds of any reduction in the net
          book  value of Joy of ten  percent  or more from $364  million,  after
          which MFS would be entitled to receive periodic  financial  statements
          for Joy.  During  fiscal 1999,  MFS Funds  became  entitled to receive
          periodic financial statements for Joy.

     The plan to dispose of the Beloit Segment  necessitated  obtaining a waiver
     under the DIP  Facility  from The  Chase  Manhattan  Bank.  In light of the
     Company's  plan in October  1999 to dispose of this  segment,  the  minimum
     EBITDA  tests  were no  longer  consistent  with the  Company's  continuing
     operations.  As of January 31,  2000,  the Company and The Chase  Manhattan
     Bank entered  into a Waiver and  Amendment  Letter which waives  compliance
     with certain  negative  covenants of the DIP Facility as they relate to the
     sale of the  assets  of  Beloit  and  amends  the  EBITDA  tests in the DIP
     Facility  to  levels  that are  appropriate  for the  Company's  continuing
     businesses on a consolidated  basis.  Continuation of unfavorable  business
     conditions  or other  events  could  require  the  Debtors to seek  further
     modifications or waivers of certain covenants of the DIP Facility.  In such
     event,   there  is  no  certainty   that  the  Debtors  would  obtain  such
     modifications or waivers to avoid default under the DIP Facility.

     In light of the decision to dispose of the Beloit Segment,  the Company and
     The Chase Manhattan Bank began negotiations to restructure the DIP Facility
     to further  align the  provisions  of the DIP Facility  with the  Company's
     continuing  businesses.  There can be no assurance  that such  negotiations
     will result in modifications to the DIP Facility.

     The principal sources of liquidity for the Company's operating requirements
     have been cash flows from operations and borrowings under the DIP Facility.
     While the Company expects that such sources will provide sufficient working
     capital to operate its  businesses,  there can be no  assurances  that such
     sources will prove to be sufficient.

     Foreign Credit Facilities

     Prior  to  the  bankruptcy  filings,   one  of  the  Company's   Australian
     subsidiaries  maintained a A$90.0 million (US$52.5 million)  long-term loan
     facility with a group of four banks at a floating  interest rate  expressed
     in relation to Australian  dollar  denominated Bank Bills of Exchange.  The
     Company's  bankruptcy  filing  caused the  Australian  subsidiary  to be in
     default of certain covenants of the loan facility,  a notice of default was
     issued to the  subsidiary  by the banks and the loan  became  repayable  on
     demand.  As of April  30,  2000,  the loan was  fully  drawn.  The  balance
     outstanding  is  classified as a current  liability.  This loan facility is
     being renegotiated to cure the default and extend its term.

     As of April 30, 2000,  short-term bank credit lines of foreign subsidiaries
     amounted to $115.6  million.  Outstanding  borrowings  against these credit
     lines,  principally  in the form of demand notes,  were $82.8 million as of
     April 30, 2000  compared  with $86.5  million as at October 31,  1999.  The
     short-term  bank credit  lines in the United  Kingdom and South  Africa are
     being renegotiated by the Company's foreign subsidiaries with the objective
     of converting the credit lines to long-term credit facilities.

(h)  Income Taxes

     The income tax provision (benefit) recognized in the Company's consolidated
     statement of  operations  differs from the income tax  provision  (benefit)
     computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the income or
     loss from continuing operations for the six months ended April 30, 2000 due
     to an additional valuation allowance on deferred tax benefits,  state taxes
     and differences in foreign and U.S. tax rates.

     The Company  believes that realization of net operating loss and tax credit
     benefits  in the  near  term is  unlikely.  Should  the  Company's  plan of
     reorganization  result in a significantly  modified capital structure,  the
     Company would be required to apply fresh start  accounting  pursuant to the
     requirements of SOP 90-7. Under fresh start accounting,  realization of net
     operating loss and tax credit benefits will first reduce any reorganization
     goodwill until  exhausted and thereafter be reported as additional  paid in
     capital.

     Consolidated inventories consisted of the following:

_______________
(1)  Amounts  for the  three  and six  months  ended  April  30,  1999 have been
     restated to reflect Beloit as a discontinued operation.
</TABLE>

     Options to purchase  common stock were not included in the  computation  of
     diluted  earnings per share because the additional  shares would reduce the
     loss per share amount and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(k)  Segment Information

     Business Segment Information

     At April 30, 2000, the Company had two reportable segments,  Surface Mining
     Equipment and  Underground  Mining  Machinery.  Operating  income (loss) of
     segments  does  not  include  interest  income  or  expense  and  provision
     (benefit) for income taxes.  There are no significant  intersegment  sales.
     Identifiable  assets  are those  used in the  operations  of each  segment.
     Corporate assets consist primarily of property,  deferred  financing costs,
     pension assets and cash.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations


     On June  7,  1999,  Harnischfeger  Industries,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and
     substantially all of its domestic operating subsidiaries (collectively, the
     "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
     the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code (the  "Bankruptcy  Code") in the  United  States
     Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy  Court") and
     orders for relief were entered. The Debtors include the Company's principal
     domestic  operating  subsidiaries,  P&H Mining  Equipment  ("P&H")  and Joy
     Mining Machinery  ("Joy"),  as well as Beloit Corporation  ("Beloit").  The
     Company's  Pulp  and  Paper  Machinery  segment  owned  by  Beloit  and its
     subsidiaries   (the  "Beloit  Segment")  is  presented  as  a  discontinued
     operation as is more fully discussed in Note (c) - Discontinued Operations.
     The Debtors' Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered for procedural
     purposes  only  under  case  number  99-2171.   The  issue  of  substantive
     consolidation  of the Debtors has not been  addressed.  Unless  Debtors are
     substantively  consolidated  under  a  confirmed  plan  of  reorganization,
     payment of prepetition claims of each Debtor may substantially  differ from
     payment of prepetition claims of other Debtors.

     The   Debtors    are    currently    operating    their    businesses    as
     debtors-in-possession  pursuant  to the  Bankruptcy  Code.  Pursuant to the
     Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect prepetition indebtedness of the Debtors
     and other  contractual  obligations  of the  Debtors  generally  may not be
     enforced. In addition, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume or
     reject executory  contracts and unexpired  leases.  Additional  prepetition
     claims may arise from such  rejections,  and from the  determination by the
     Bankruptcy  Court (or as agreed by the parties in interest) to allow claims
     for contingencies  and other disputed amounts.  From time to time since the
     Chapter 11 filing,  the Bankruptcy  Court has approved motions allowing the
     Debtors to reject certain business contracts that were deemed burdensome or
     of no value to the respective  Debtor. As of June 14, 2000, the Debtors had
     not completed their review of all their prepetition executory contracts and
     leases for assumption or rejection.  See Note (f) - Liabilities  Subject to
     Compromise included in Item 1 - Financial Statements.

     The Debtors received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay or otherwise
     honor certain of their prepetition  obligations,  including  employee wages
     and product  warranties.  In addition,  the Bankruptcy Court authorized the
     Debtors to maintain their  employee  benefit  programs.  Funds of qualified
     pension plans and savings  plans are in trusts and protected  under federal
     regulations.  All  required  contributions  are  current in the  respective
     plans.

     The Debtors have the exclusive right,  until August 16, 2000 to file a plan
     or plans of reorganization. Such period has been extended from time to time
     during the pendancy of the Debtors' bankruptcy cases and may be extended at
     the discretion of the Bankruptcy Court.  Subject to certain  exceptions set
     forth  in the  Bankruptcy  Code,  acceptance  of a plan  of  reorganization
     requires  approval of the Bankruptcy  Court and the affirmative vote (i.e.,
     more than 50% of the number and at least 66-2/3% of the dollar amount, both
     based on claims  actually  voted) of each  class of  creditors  and  equity
     holders  whose claims are impaired by the plan.  Alternatively,  absent the
     requisite  approvals,  a Debtor may seek  Bankruptcy  Court approval of its
     reorganization  plan under  "cramdown"  provisions of the Bankruptcy  Code,
     assuming  certain  tests  are met.  If a Debtor  fails to  submit a plan of
     reorganization  within the exclusivity  period prescribed or any extensions
     thereof,  any  creditor  or  equity  holder  will be free to file a plan of
     reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court and solicit acceptances thereof.

     February  29,  2000  was  set by the  Bankruptcy  Court  as the  last  date
     creditors  could file  proofs of claim  against the  Debtors.  There may be
     differences  between the amounts  recorded in the  Debtors'  schedules  and
     financial statements and the amounts claimed by their respective creditors.
     Litigation may be required to resolve such disputes.

     The Debtors will continue to incur  significant  costs  associated with the
     reorganizations.  The amount of these expenses, which are being expensed as
     incurred,  is expected to  significantly  affect  results while the Debtors
     operate under Chapter 11. See Note (d) -  Reorganization  Items included in
     Item 1 - Financial Statements.

     Currently,  it is not  possible  to predict  the length of time the Debtors
     will operate under the protection of Chapter 11, the outcome of the Chapter
     11 proceedings in general, or the effect of the proceedings on the business
     of the Company or on the  interests of the various  creditors  and security
     holders.

     Under  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  postpetition   liabilities  and  prepetition
     liabilities (i.e.,  liabilities  subject to compromise) of the Company must
     be  satisfied   before   shareholders   of  the  Company  can  receive  any
     distribution.  The ultimate recovery to the Company's shareholders, if any,
     will not be determined until the end of the case when the fair value of the
     Company's  assets is compared  to the  liabilities  and claims  against the
     Company.  The Company  and the other  Debtors  are  currently  engaged in a
     comprehensive  analysis and  reconciliation  of claims filed by  creditors.
     Based on the Company's  analysis to date of (a) scheduled and filed claims,
     (b) any  potential  recovery  from the sale of  Beloit  assets  and (c) the
     valuation of the Company,  P&H and Joy as going concerns,  there appears to
     be sufficient value to pay in full all claims against P&H and Joy. However,
     there appears to be  insufficient  value to pay in full all claims  against
     the  Company.  Accordingly,  it  appears  unlikely  that any value  will be
     distributed  to  the  Company's  shareholders.  There  also  appears  to be
     insufficient  value  to pay in full all  claims  against  Beloit.  The U.S.
     Trustee for the District of Delaware has appointed an Official Committee of
     Equity Holders to represent the Company's  shareholders  in the proceedings
     before the Bankruptcy Court.

     The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements of the Company and its
     consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared on a going concern basis which
     contemplates   continuity  of  operations,   realization  of  assets,   and
     liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary  course of business and does not
     reflect adjustments that might result if the Debtors (other than Beloit and
     Beloit's Debtor subsidiaries) are unable to continue as going concerns.  As
     a result of the  Debtors'  Chapter 11 filings,  such matters are subject to
     significant  uncertainty.  The  Debtors  intend  to file a plan or plans of
     reorganization  with the  Bankruptcy  Court.  Continuing on a going concern
     basis is dependent upon, among other things, the Debtors' formulation of an
     acceptable plan or plans of reorganization,  the success of future business
     operations,  and the  generation of  sufficient  cash from  operations  and
     financing  sources to meet the Debtors'  obligations.  Other than recording
     the estimated loss on the disposal of the Beloit discontinued operations in
     the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1999 and the  subsequent  adjustment  to this
     loss in the  second  quarter of fiscal  2000,  the  consolidated  financial
     statements  do not  reflect:  (a)  the  realizable  value  of  assets  on a
     liquidation  basis  or  their  availability  to  satisfy  liabilities;  (b)
     aggregate  prepetition  liability amounts that may be allowed for claims or
     contingencies,  or their status or priority;  (c) the effect of any changes
     to the Debtors' capital  structures or in the Debtors' business  operations
     as the  result  of a  confirmed  plan or  plans of  reorganization;  or (d)
     adjustments to the carrying value of assets  (including  goodwill and other
     intangibles)  or  liability  amounts that may be necessary as the result of
     actions by the Bankruptcy Court.

     The Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  have been  presented in
     conformity  with  the  AICPA's  Statement  of  Position  90-7,   "Financial
     Reporting By Entities In Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code", issued.
     November  19,  1990  ("SOP  90-7").  SOP 90-7  requires  a  segregation  of
     liabilities  subject  to  compromise  by  the  Bankruptcy  Court  as of the
     bankruptcy  filing date and  identification  of all transactions and events
     that are directly associated with the reorganization of the Debtors.

     The   commentary  in   Management's   Discussion   and  Analysis   contains
     forward-looking  statements.  When  used in this  document,  terms  such as
     "anticipate",   "believe",  "estimate",  "expect",  "indicate",  "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,  without  limitation,
     described in Item 5. Other Information - "Cautionary Factors" in Part II of

Surface Mining Equipment

Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 as Compared to 1999

The following  table sets forth certain data with respect to the Surface  Mining
Equipment  segment from the consolidated  statement of operations of the Company
for the three months ended April 30:

         In thousands                          2000                1999
     --------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net Sales                             $ 134,368           $ 125,456
     Operating Profit                      $  15,711           $  13,348
     Bookings                              $ 110,032           $ 105,784


Sales of the Surface Mining Equipment  segment were $134.4 million for the three
months ended April 30, 2000, a 7% increase from sales of $125.5  million  during
the same period of fiscal  1999.  Original  equipment  sales  increased  by 18%,
driven by an increase  in sales of  electric  mining  shovels.  The  increase in
electric mining shovel sales was partially offset by a decrease in sales related
to draglines.  Aftermarket  sales  increased 1% for the three months ended April
30, 2000 due to increased service sales.

Operating  profit was $15.7  million or 11.7% of sales in the three months ended
April 30, 2000,  compared to operating profit of $13.3 million and 10.6% for the
corresponding period in 1999. The higher operating profit in the three months of
2000 as compared to the three months of 1999 was due primarily to higher volume.

Bookings  were $110.0  million in the three months ended April 30, 2000 compared
to $105.8  million  during  the  equivalent  period  in 1999.  The  increase  is
primarily due to higher  aftermarket  bookings.  The P&H order backlog was $75.3
million as of April 30, 2000  compared  with $93.8  million at October 31, 1999.
These booking and backlog figures exclude customer  arrangements under long-term
repair and maintenance  contracts.  In financial reports prior to fiscal 2000 it
was the policy of the  Company to include two years of  estimated  value of such
arrangements  as part of its  reported  backlog.  The total  estimated  value of
long-term repair and maintenance  arrangements with P&H customers,  which extend
for periods of up to thirteen years,  amounted to approximately  $220 million as
of April 30, 2000.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2000 as compared to 1999

The following  table sets forth certain data with respect to the Surface  Mining
Equipment  segment from the consolidated  statement of operations of the Company
for the six months ended April 30:

           In thousands                       2000                1999

     Net Sales                             $ 255,501           $ 236,018
     Operating Profit                      $  25,168           $  24,355
     Bookings                              $ 237,013           $ 208,610


Sales of the Surface Mining  Equipment  segment were $255.5 million in the first
six months of fiscal 2000,  an 8% increase from sales of $236.0  million  during
the same period of fiscal 1999.  Original  equipment sales increased 27%, driven
by an increase in sales of electric  mining  shovels.  The  increase in electric
mining shovels was partially offset by a decrease in sales related to draglines.
Aftermarket  sales decreased 2% in the first six months of 2000 as the first six
months of 1999 benefited from carryover  parts  shipments that were deferred due
to the United Steelworkers' strike in Milwaukee during the fourth fiscal quarter
of 1998.

Operating  profit was $25.2  million  or 9.9% of sales in the six  months  ended
April 30, 2000,  compared to operating profit of $24.4 million and 10.3% for the
corresponding  period  in 1999.  The  higher  operating  profit in the first six
months of 2000 as compared to the first six months of 1999 was due  primarily to
higher   volume.   The   decreased   operating   profit   margin   reflects  the
proportionately lower aftermarket sales which typically yield higher margins.

Bookings were $237.0  million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to
$208.6 million  during the equivalent  period in 1999. The increase is primarily
due to higher  demand  for  P&H's  original  equipment  resulting  from  product
innovation and expanded  product support for customers.  Order backlog was $75.3
million as of April 30, 2000  compared  with $93.8  million at October 31, 1999.
These booking and backlog figures exclude customer  arrangements under long-term
repair and maintenance contracts.

Underground Mining Machinery

Three Months Ended April 30, 2000 as Compared to 1999

The  following  table sets forth  certain data with  respect to the  Underground
Mining Machinery  segment from the  consolidated  statement of operations of the
Company for the three months ended April 30:

    In thousands                         2000                          1999

Net Sales                             $ 147,714                     $ 168,878

Net sales for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 were $21.2  million  lower than
during the second  quarter of the prior year,  primarily  because  there were no
shipments  of roof  supports in the current  quarter  compared to  approximately
$20.0  million  of roof  support  sales in the second  quarter a year ago.  This
decline in roof support  sales  reflects  softness in the markets  served by the
company for that product.  In the United States,  there was an increase in sales
of new continuous  miners and face conveyors which more than offset a decline in
the shipment of shuttle cars and longwall  shearing  machines.  In Australia and
South Africa,  the market for new  equipment  sales  continued to be weak,  with
South  Africa's  new  machine  sales  being flat  compared to the prior year and
Australia reporting a decrease.  In the aftermarket,  the sales of repair parts,
components  repairs and machine rebuilds in total were approximately the same in
the  current  quarter  as the  same  period  last  year.  A slight  increase  in
aftermarket  sales in the United  States was offset by a decline in  aftermarket
sales in the markets outside of the United States.

Operating  profit for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 was $2.5  million  less
than for the same period last year.  This decrease  resulted from the decline in
net  sales  and a loss of  manufacturing  burden  absorption  in  excess  of the
reduction  in  manufacturing  burden  spending due in part to the decline in the
current quarter's  shipments.  These items were partially offset by the benefits
of  Joy's  cost  reduction  program  which,  in  addition  to the  reduction  of
manufacturing  burden  spending,   reduced  selling,   product  development  and
administrative  expenses.  In the  current  quarter,  these  expenses  were $1.9
million less than they were in the second quarter last year.

New order bookings in the current  quarter were $8.1 million more than they were
in the same  quarter a year ago. New orders  received in the United  States were
$18.4 million  higher than last year with orders  increasing  for new continuous
miners  and face  conveyors.  Outside  of the  United  States the market for new
machines  continued  to be weak and  bookings  were  less  than they were in the
previous year. In the  aftermarket,  new orders in the non-U.S.  markets were at
approximately  the same level as they were in the  second  quarter of the fiscal
1999.  The Joy order  backlog was $139.1  million as of April 30, 2000  compared
with $190.7  million at October 31, 1999.  These  bookings  and backlog  figures
exclude customer arrangements under long-term repair and maintenance  contracts.
In  financial  reports  prior to fiscal 2000 it was the policy of the Company to
include  two  years  of  estimated  value  of such  arrangements  as part of its
reported backlog.  The total estimated value of long-term repair and maintenance
arrangements with Joy customers,  which extend for periods of up to eight years,
amounted to approximately $77.5 million as of April 30, 2000.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2000 as compared to 1999

The  following  table sets forth  certain data with  respect to the  Underground
Mining Machinery  segment from the  consolidated  statement of operations of the
Company for the six months ended April 30:

    In thousands                         2000                          1999

Net Sales                             $ 311,868                     $ 322,753

Net sales for the first six  months of fiscal  2000 for the  Underground  Mining
Machinery  segment  were $10.9  million  less than in the same  period of fiscal
1999.  Small  decreases  in sales of new  machines,  repair  parts  and  machine
rebuilds were recorded,  with component repair sales equaling those for 1999. An
increase  in new  machine,  component  repair and machine  rebuild  sales in the
United  States was more than offset by a decrease in sales of those  products in
markets  served out of the United  Kingdom.  In the U.S., new machine sales were
helped by the sale of a roof support and face conveyor system for  approximately
$25.0 million in the first  quarter.  In the United  Kingdom,  sales of new roof
support  and face  conveyor  systems in fiscal 2000 were lower than in the first
six months of fiscal  1999.  An increase of repair part sales out of the UK into
China  was more  than  offset  by  continued  softness  in the  aftermarket  for
component repairs and machine rebuilds. In both South Africa and Australia, with
the exception of new machine sales in South Africa, net sales were approximately
the same as in the first six months of 1999.  New machine  sales in South Africa
continued to be extremely soft as customers managed production capacity.

Operating  profit  for  the  six  months  ended  April  30,  2000,   before  the
restructuring  charge of $6.5  million,  was  $12.2  million  compared  to $11.7
million for the same period of fiscal  1999.  Gross  profit that was lost on the
decrease in net sales was more than offset by reductions in selling, engineering
and administrative expenses.

New order  bookings  in the first six months of fiscal  2000 were $72.6  million
less than in the first six months of the prior year.  The decrease in new orders
was  primarily the result of a $58.0  million  decline in roof support  bookings
(with no roof  support  orders  being  recorded to date in fiscal  2000),  fewer
shuttle car and longwall  shearer  orders and a $9.0 million  decline in machine
rebuild orders. On the positive side, orders for both continuous miners and face
conveyors increased from a year ago.

In  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999  Joy   announced  and   implemented  a
restructuring  plan. An initial  reserve of $7.3 million was  established in the
third  quarter of fiscal 1999,  primarily for the  impairment of certain  assets
related to a facility  rationalization.  In addition,  charges amounting to $4.7
million  were made in the  third  and  fourth  quarter  of fiscal  1999 upon the
announcement  of the severance of  approximately  240  employees.  Of the amount
reserved in fiscal 1999, $0.7 million had been utilized by the end of the fiscal
year.  During  the first  six  months of  fiscal  2000 a  further  $6.5  million
restructuring  charge was recorded under the plan primarily for  rationalization
of certain of Joy's  original  equipment  manufacturing  capacity  in the United
Kingdom, and to a lesser extent for the initial stage of headcount reductions in
South Africa  associated with a reorganization of Joy's business in that market.
These charges were made primarily for severance of  approximately  195 employees
in the United Kingdom and approximately 20 employees in South Africa. Additional
future cash charges of $1.4 million in connection with continuing cost reduction
initiatives are expected to be incurred in fiscal 2000.

Details of these restructuring charges are as follows:

Discontinued Operations

In light of  continuing  losses at Beloit and  following  an  evaluation  of the
prospects of  reorganizing  the Beloit  Segment,  on October 8, 1999 the Company
announced its plan to dispose of this  segment.  Subsequently,  Beloit  notified
certain of its foreign  subsidiaries that they could no longer expect funding of
their operations to be provided by either Beloit or the Company.  Certain of the
notified  subsidiaries  have since filed for or were placed into receivership or
other applicable forms of judicial supervision in their respective countries. On
May 12, 2000 the U.S. Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an Official
Committee  of  Unsecured  Creditors  of  Beloit  Corporation  to  represent  the
creditors of Beloit in proceedings before the Bankruptcy Court.

On  November  7,  1999,  the  Bankruptcy   Court  approved   procedures  and  an
implementation  schedule for the divestiture plan (the "Court Sales Procedures")
for the Pulp and Paper Machinery segment.  Between February and May, 2000, sales
agreements  were approved under the Court Sales  Procedures  with respect to the
sale of  substantially  all of the segment's  domestic  operating assets and the
stock of three of its foreign  subsidiaries.  As of June 14, 2000,  all approved
sales of domestic  assets had taken place.  Beloit  expects that closings on the
sales of its foreign  subsidiaries will occur by the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 2000.

The Company  classified the Beloit  Segment as a  discontinued  operation in its
consolidated  financial  statements  as of October 31, 1999 and has  accordingly
restated the Company's  consolidated  statements of operations and statements of
cash flow for prior periods. Revenues for the Beloit Segment were $158.2 million
for the six months  ended April 30, 2000 and $392.8  million for the  comparable
period in 1999. Loss from discontinued  operations was $94.7 million for the six
months  ended April 30,  1999.  During  fiscal  1999,  the  Company  recorded an
estimated loss of $529.0 million on the disposal of the Beloit Segment including
an accrual for estimated  operating  losses to be incurred by the Beloit Segment
subsequent to October 31, 1999. Based on the actual results during the six-month
period  ended  April  30,  2000  and  consideration  of  the  current  estimates
associated  with the  Beloit  winddown  expenses  to be  incurred,  the  Company
believes that no adjustment to the original reserve is warranted as of April 30,
2000. (See Note (f) -- Liabilities  Subject to Compromise in Item 1 -- Financial
Statements for a discussion of the APP settlement).

Income Taxes

The income tax provision  (benefit)  recognized  in the  Company's  consolidated
statement of operations differs from the income tax provision (benefit) computed
by applying  the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to the income or loss from
continuing  operations  for  the six  months  ended  April  30,  2000  due to an
additional  valuation  allowance  on  deferred  tax  benefits,  state  taxes and
differences in foreign and U.S. tax rates.

The Company  believes  that  realization  of net  operating  loss and tax credit
benefits  in  the  near  term  is  unlikely.   Should  the  Company's   plan  of
reorganization result in a significantly modified capital structure, the Company
would be required to apply fresh start  accounting  pursuant to the requirements
of SOP 90-7. Under fresh start accounting, realization of net operating loss and
tax  credit  benefits  will  first  reduce  any  reorganization  goodwill  until
exhausted and thereafter be reported as additional paid in capital.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Chapter 11 Proceedings

The matters described under this caption "Liquidity and Capital  Resources",  to
the  extent  that  they  relate  to  future  events  or  expectations,   may  be
significantly  affected by the Chapter 11 proceedings.  Those  proceedings  will
involve,  or  result  in,  various  restrictions  on  the  Debtors'  activities,
limitations  on  financing,  the need to obtain  Bankruptcy  Court  approval for
various matters and  uncertainty as to  relationships  with vendors,  suppliers,
customers  and  others  with whom the  Debtors  may  conduct  or seek to conduct
business. In addition,  the recorded amounts of: (i) the estimated cash proceeds
to be realized  upon the disposal of Beloit's  assets to be sold or  liquidated,
and (ii) the estimated cash  requirements  to fund Beloit's  remaining costs and
claims, could be materially different from the actual amounts.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, postpetition  liabilities and prepetition liabilities
(i.e.,  liabilities subject to compromise) must be satisfied before shareholders
can receive any  distribution.  The ultimate  recovery to shareholders,  if any,
will not be  determined  until  the end of the case  when the fair  value of the
Company's  assets is compared to the liabilities and claims against the Company.
The  Company  and the other  Debtors are  currently  engaged in a  comprehensive
analysis and reconciliation of claims filed by creditors. Based on the Company's
analysis to date of (a) scheduled and filed claims,  (b) any potential  recovery
from the sale of Beloit assets and (c) the valuation of the Company, P&H and Joy
as going  concerns,  there  appears  to be  sufficient  value to pay in full all
claims against P&H and Joy. However,  there appears to be insufficient  value to
pay in full all claims  against the Company.  Accordingly,  it appears  unlikely
that any value will be  distributed  to the Company's  shareholders.  There also
appears to be insufficient  value to pay in full all claims against Beloit.  The
U.S. Trustee for the District of Delaware has appointed an Official Committee of
Equity Holders to represent the Company's shareholders in the proceedings before
the Bankruptcy Court.

Working Capital

Working  capital of  continuing  operations,  excluding  liabilities  subject to
compromise,  as of April 30, 2000, was $194.1 million including $65.9 million of
cash and cash  equivalents,  as  compared to working  capital of $187.2  million
including $57.5 million of cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 1999. The
ongoing  inventory  reduction program at Joy resulted in a $35.3 million decline
in Joy's inventory during the first six months of fiscal 2000. However, this was
more than  offset by  changes  in other  categories  of  working  capital.  Most
significantly,  there was an $11.2 million  reduction in trade accounts  payable
and a $21.7  million  reduction  in  advance  payments  and  progress  billings,
reflecting a smaller number of major capital orders, particularly at P&H, in the
second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared with the final quarter of fiscal 1999.
There was also an $8.9  million  decline  in  short-term  borrowings  by foreign
subsidiaries.  This resulted mainly from the decline in the value of the British
Pound,  Australian  Dollar and other major  currencies  against the U.S.  Dollar
during fiscal 2000,  which reduced the U.S. dollar value of these local currency
borrowings.

Cash Flow from Continuing Operations

Although the Company recorded a loss from continuing operations of $23.9 million
in the first six months of fiscal 2000 as compared  with income from  continuing
operations  of $4.0  million  for the same  period in 1999,  cash  generated  by
continuing  operations  was $6.0 million for the six months ended April 30, 2000
compared  with cash  used by  continuing  operations  of $33.7  million  for the
comparable period in 1999.

The  improvement in operating  cash flow in 2000 resulted from several  factors,
primarily:  (i) the  inclusion  of non-cash  Joy  restructuring  charges of $6.5
million  and  non-cash  reorganization  items of $7.9  million  in the first six
months of fiscal 2000;  and (ii) an inventory  build-up of $13.2  million in the
first six months of 1999 compared  with an inventory  reduction of $31.4 million
in 2000.

Cash flow used by investment and other transactions was $1.7 million for the six
months ended April 30, 2000 compared to $21.3 million  during the  corresponding
period in 1999. The difference between periods is primarily due to the inclusion
in the first six months of fiscal 1999 of a deposit of $15.9 million placed with
a bank in connection with certain APP letters of credit.

DIP Facility

On July 8, 1999 the Bankruptcy Court approved a two-year, $750 million Revolving
Credit,  Term Loan and Guaranty  Agreement  underwritten  by The Chase Manhattan
Bank (the "DIP Facility") consisting of three tranches:  (i) Tranche A is a $350
million revolving credit facility with sublimits for import documentary  letters
of credit of $20  million and standby  letters of credit of $300  million;  (ii)
Tranche B is a $200 million term loan  facility;  and (iii)  Tranche C is a $200
million standby letter of credit  facility.  Effective May 30, 2000, the Company
voluntarily  reduced the size of the DIP facility to $350 million by terminating
Tranches B and C. The reduced  size of the DIP Facility is more in line with the
Company's  expected borrowing needs in light of the exit from the Pulp and Paper
Machinery  business and the receipt of proceeds from the sale of Beloit  assets.
The   reduction  in  the  size  of  the  DIP  Facility  will  save  the  Company
approximately $170,000 a month in loan commitment fees.

Proceeds from the DIP Facility may be used to fund postpetition  working capital
and for other general corporate purposes during the term of the DIP Facility and
to pay up to $35 million of prepetition claims of critical vendors.  The Debtors
are permitted to make loans and provide letters of credit in an aggregate amount
not to exceed  $240  million  to  foreign  subsidiaries  for  specified  limited
purposes,  including  up to $90  million for  working  capital  needs of foreign
subsidiaries and $110 million of loans and $110 million of letters of credit for
support or repayment of existing  credit  facilities.  The Debtors may use up to
$40 million (of the $240 million) to issue stand-by letters of credit to support
foreign  business  opportunities.  Beginning  August 1, 1999,  the DIP  Facility
imposes   monthly   minimum  EBITDA  tests  and  quarterly   limits  on  capital
expenditures.  At April 30,  2000,  $186 million in direct  borrowings  had been
drawn  under the DIP  Facility  and  classified  as a long-term  obligation  and
letters of credit in the face amount of $47.8  million had been issued under the
DIP  Facility.  The  Debtors  are jointly  and  severally  liable  under the DIP
Facility.

The DIP Facility  benefits  from  superpriority  administrative  claim status as
provided  for  under  the  Bankruptcy   Code.   Under  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  a
superpriority  claim is senior to  unsecured  prepetition  claims  and all other
administrative expenses incurred in the Chapter 11 case. Direct borrowings under
the DIP  Facility  are  priced  at LIBOR + 2.75%  per  annum on the  outstanding
borrowings. Letters of credit are priced at 2.75% per annum (plus a fronting fee
of 0.25% to the Agent) on the outstanding  face amount of each letter of credit.
In addition,  the Company pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused
amount of the commitment payable monthly in arrears. The DIP Facility matures on
the earlier of the substantial  consummation of a plan of  reorganization of the
Company or June 6, 2001.

In  proceedings  filed with the  Bankruptcy  Court,  the Debtors agreed with the
Official  Committee of Unsecured  Creditors  appointed by the U.S.  Trustee (the
"Creditors  Committee") and with MFS Municipal Income Trust and MFS Series Trust
III (collectively, the "MFS Funds"), holders of certain debt issued by Joy, to a
number of restrictions  regarding  transactions  with foreign  subsidiaries  and
Beloit:

     o    The Debtor agreed to give at least five days prior  written  notice to
          the Creditors Committee and to the MFS Funds of the Debtors' intention
          to (a) make loans or  advances  to, or  investments  in,  any  foreign
          subsidiary  for working  capital  purposes in an  aggregate  amount in
          excess of $90 million;  (b) make loans or advances to, or  investments
          in, any foreign subsidiary to repay the existing indebtedness or cause
          letters  of credit to be  issued in favor of a  creditor  of a foreign
          subsidiary  in an  aggregate  amount,  cumulatively,  in excess of $30
          million; or (c) make postpetition loans or advances to, or investments
          in, Beloit or any of Beloit's  subsidiaries in excess of $115 million.
          In September  1999, the Company  notified the Creditors  Committee and
          MFS Funds that it  intended  to exceed the $115  million  amount.  The
          Company  subsequently  agreed,  with the  approval  of the  Bankruptcy
          Court, to provide the Creditors Committee with weekly cash requirement
          forecasts  for  Beloit,  to restrict  funding of Beloit to  forecasted
          amounts,  to provide the  Creditors  Committee  access to  information
          about the Beloit divestiture and liquidation  process,  and to consult
          with the  Creditors  Committee  regarding the Beloit  divestiture  and
          liquidation process.

     o    In  addition,  the  Debtors  agreed to give  notice  to the  Creditors
          Committee and to the MFS Funds with respect to any liens created by or
          on a  foreign  subsidiary  or on any  of  its  assets  to  secure  any
          indebtedness.

     o    The Debtors agreed to notify the MFS Funds of any reduction in the net
          book  value of Joy of ten  percent  or more from $364  million,  after
          which MFS would be entitled to receive periodic  financial  statements
          for Joy.  During  fiscal 1999,  MFS Funds  became  entitled to receive
          periodic financial statements for Joy.

The plan to dispose of the Beloit Segment necessitated  obtaining a waiver under
the DIP Facility from The Chase  Manhattan  Bank. In light of the Company's plan
in October  1999 to dispose of this  segment,  the minimum  EBITDA tests were no
longer consistent with the Company's  continuing  operations.  As of January 31,
2000,  the  Company  and The Chase  Manhattan  Bank  entered  into a Waiver  and
Amendment Letter which waives compliance with certain negative  covenants of the
DIP  Facility  as they relate to the sale of the assets of Beloit and amends the
EBITDA  tests  in the DIP  Facility  to  levels  that  are  appropriate  for the
Company's  continuing  businesses  on  a  consolidated  basis.  Continuation  of
unfavorable  business  conditions  or other events could  require the Debtors to
seek further  modifications or waivers of certain covenants of the DIP Facility.
In such  event,  there  is no  certainty  that the  Debtors  would  obtain  such
modifications or waivers to avoid default under the DIP Facility.

In light of the decision to dispose of the Beloit  Segment,  the Company and The
Chase  Manhattan  Bank began  negotiations  to  restructure  the DIP Facility to
further align the  provisions of the DIP Facility with the Company's  continuing
businesses.  There can be no  assurance  that such  negotiations  will result in
modifications to the DIP Facility.

The principal sources of liquidity for the Company's operating requirements have
been cash flows from operations and borrowings under the DIP Facility. While the
Company  expects that such sources will provide  sufficient  working  capital to
operate its businesses,  there can be no assurances that such sources will prove
to be sufficient.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

The year 2000 ("Y2K")  issue  focuses on the ability of  information  systems to
properly  recognize and process  date-sensitive  information beyond December 31,
1999. To address this problem,  the Company implemented a Y2K readiness plan for
information  technology  systems  ("IT") and non-IT  equipment,  facilities  and
systems.  All material IT and non-IT  equipment,  processes  and  software  were
compliant and resulted in no material Y2K issues through June 14, 2000. While no
material Y2K problems have been encountered to date and none are expected, it is
possible that such problems could arise as the year progresses.

Market Risk

Volatility in interest rates and foreign exchange rates can impact the Company's
earnings,  equity  and  cash  flow.  From  time to time the  Company  undertakes
transactions to hedge this impact. The hedge instrument is considered  effective
if it offsets  partially or completely the negative  impact on earnings,  equity
and cash flow due to  fluctuations  in interest and foreign  exchange  rates. In
accordance with the Company's policy,  the Company does not execute  derivatives
that are  speculative  or that increase the Company's risk from interest rate or
foreign exchange rate fluctuations.  At April 30, 2000 the Company was not party
to any interest rate derivative contracts.  Foreign exchange derivatives at that
date were  exclusively in the form of forward exchange  contracts  executed over
the counter. The counterparties to these contracts are several commercial banks,
all of which hold investment  grade ratings.  There is a concentration  of these
contracts at The Chase  Manhattan  Bank which is currently the only  institution
entering into forward foreign exchange  contracts with the Company and the other
Debtors.

The Company has  adopted a Foreign  Exchange  Risk  Management  Policy.  It is a
risk-averse policy under which most exposures that impact earnings and cash flow
are fully hedged,  subject to a net $5 million equivalent of permitted exposures
per  currency.  Exposures  that  impact  only  equity or do not have a cash flow
impact are generally not hedged with  derivatives.  There are two  categories of
foreign exchange exposures that are hedged:  assets and liabilities  denominated
in a foreign currency and future committed receipts or payments denominated in a
foreign  currency.  These  exposures  normally arise from imports and exports of
goods and from intercompany trade and lending activity.

As of April 30,  2000,  the  nominal or face value of forward  foreign  exchange
contracts  to which the  Company  and its  subsidiaries  were  parties was $69.2
million in absolute U.S. dollar equivalent terms.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1- Legal Proceedings

     The  following   should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  Item  3  -  Legal
     Proceedings,  of Part I of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
     year ended October 31, 1999 and Item 1 - Legal  Proceedings,  of Part II of
     the Company's  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January
     31, 2000.

     In fiscal 1996 and 1997,  Beloit's Asian  subsidiaries  received orders for
     four fine papermaking  machines from Asia Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd. ("APP") for
     a total of  approximately  $600.0  million.  The  first two  machines  were
     substantially paid for and installed at APP facilities in Indonesia. Beloit
     sold approximately $44.0 million of receivables from APP on these first two
     machines  to a  financial  institution.  Beloit  agreed to  repurchase  the
     receivables in the event APP defaulted on the  receivables  and the Company
     guaranteed  this  repurchase  obligation.  As of June 14, 2000, the Company
     believes  APP was not in  default  with  respect  to the  receivables.  The
     machines are currently in the start-up/optimization  phase and are required
     to meet certain  contractual  performance  tests. The contracts provide for
     potential  liquidated damages,  including  performance  damages, in certain
     circumstances.  Beloit has had  discussions  with APP on certain claims and
     back charges on the first two machines.

     Disputes arose between Beloit and APP regarding the two remaining machines.
     On March 3,  2000,  the  Company  announced  the  signing  of a  definitive
     agreement  to  settle  the  disputes  and  related  arbitration  and  legal
     proceedings.  Under the  settlement,  APP paid $135.0  million to Beloit on
     April 6, 2000 and $15.9 million the Company had deposited  with a bank with
     respect to related  letters of credit was  released to the Company on April
     11, 2000. The $15.9 million was classified as other assets in the Company's
     consolidated  financial  statements  as of  October  31,  1999.  The $135.0
     million was paid $25.0  million in cash and $110.0  million in a three-year
     note  issued  by an APP  subsidiary  and  guaranteed  by APP.  The  note is
     governed by an indenture  and bears a fixed  interest  rate of 15%.  Beloit
     intends to sell the note to a third party for fair market value. In view of
     the  intention to sell the note and current  volatility  in the  applicable
     capital  markets for the note, no value for the note has been recognized in
     the financial  statements as of April 30, 2000.  The value for the note and
     its effect on the  financial  statements  will be  recognized in the period
     that the note is sold. As part of the  settlement,  Beloit retained a $46.0
     million  down payment it received  from APP for the second two  papermaking
     machines  and APP  released  all rights  with  respect to letters of credit
     issued  for the  aggregate  amount of the down  payment  for the second two
     papermaking  machines.  APP  acquired  certain  components  and spare parts
     produced  or  acquired  by Beloit in  connection  with the two  papermaking
     machines on an as is, where is basis.  In addition,  Beloit returned to APP
     certain  promissory  notes given to Beloit by APP. The notes were initially
     issued  in the  amount  of $59.0  million  and had an  aggregate  principal
     balance of $19.0 million when they were returned to APP.

     The Company and certain of its present and former  senior  executives  have
     been named as defendants in a class action,  captioned In re: Harnischfeger
     Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, in the United States District Court
     for the Eastern  District of  Wisconsin.  This action  seeks  damages in an
     unspecified  amount on  behalf of an  alleged  class of  purchasers  of the
     Company's common stock, based principally on allegations that the Company's
     disclosures  with respect to the APP  contracts of Beloit  discussed  above
     violated the federal  securities laws. As regards the Company,  this matter
     is stayed by the automatic stay imposed by the  Bankruptcy  Code. On May 2,
     2000  the  Bankruptcy   Court   permitted  the  plaintiffs  to  seek  class
     certification  during the stay but  otherwise  stayed the  litigation  with
     respect to the other  defendants in the  litigation  until August 15, 2000.
     The Company may seek to further  extend the stay with  respect to the other
     defendants.

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.  Actual  results may
     differ  materially.  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.  Significant  periods of
     time are  necessary  to plan,  design and build these  machines.  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 that use these  machines.
     The Company's  success in obtaining and managing a relatively  small number
     of sales opportunities, including the Company's success in securing payment
     for such sales and meeting the  requirements  of warranties  and guarantees
     associated with such sales, can affect 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,
     between  25% and 65% 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:

     o    Factors  relating  to the  Company's  Chapter 11 filing,  such as: the
          possible  disruption  of  relationships  with  creditors,   customers,
          suppliers and employees;  the Company's degree of success in executing
          its  plan of  disposition  of  Beloit;  the  ability  to  successfully
          prepare,  have confirmed and implement a plan of  reorganization;  the
          availability of financing and refinancing;  and the Company's  ability
          to  comply  with  covenants  in its DIP  Facility.  As a result of the
          Company's  Chapter 11 filing,  the  continuation  of the  Company,  or
          segments  of the  Company,  on a going  concern  basis is  subject  to
          significant uncertainty.

     o    Factors  affecting  customers'  purchases of new equipment,  rebuilds,
          parts and  services  such as:  production  capacity,  stockpiles,  and
          production and consumption rates of coal, copper, iron, gold and other
          ores  and  minerals;  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  projects;
          consolidations  among  customers;   work  stoppages  at  customers  or
          providers of transportation;  and the timing, severity and duration of
          customer buying cycles.

     o    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;
          whether the Company has  successful  reference  installations  to show
          customers;  customers'  perceptions of the health and stability of the
          Company as  compared  to its  competitors;  the  Company's  ability to
          assist  customers  with  competitive   financing  programs;   and  the
          availability of manufacturing capacity at the Company's factories.

     o    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 sales;  the adequacy of the  Company's  systems to
          manage  major  sales and its success in  completing  sales 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.

     o    Factors affecting the Company's general business,  such as: unforeseen
          patent,  tax, product,  environmental,  employee health or benefit, or
          contractual liabilities; non-recurring restructuring and other special
          charges;   changes  in  accounting   or  tax  rules  or   regulations;
          reassessments  of asset  valuations  for such  assets as  receivables,
          inventories, fixed assets and intangible assets; and leverage and debt
          service.

     o    Factors  affecting  general  business  levels,  such as: political and
          economic  turmoil in major markets such as the United States,  Canada,
          Europe,  Asia and the Pacific Rim, South Africa,  Australia and Chile;
          environmental  and trade  regulations;  and the  stability and ease of
          exchange of currencies.
