                         HARNISCHFEGER INDUSTRIES, INC.
                    (Debtor-in-Possession as of June 7, 1999)
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  July 31, 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 by creditors 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  little or no value to the  respective
     Debtor. As of September 8, 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  to qualified  pension plans have
     been made.

     The Debtors have the  exclusive  right until  September  15, 2000 to file a
     plan or plans of reorganization. Such period has been extended from time to
     time  during  the  pendency  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.  In  aggregate
     terms,  the  amounts  claimed  by  creditors  are larger  than the  amounts
     recorded in the Debtors'  schedules and financial  statements.  Debtors are
     objecting to excessive claims and otherwise  seeking to reduce or eliminate
     these differences. Litigation may be required to resolve such differences.

     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.

     While it is not possible to predict with  certainty  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,  the Debtors have analyzed a large portion of the claims
     filed  against the Debtors and are actively  preparing  for the filing of a
     plan or plans of reorganization.

     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. 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 or otherwise attributed to the
     Company's common shares. 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 nine months ended July 31, 2000 and 1999, cash flows for the nine
     months  ended July 31, 2000 and 1999,  and  financial  position at July 31,
     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 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 August 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. In addition, approval was received for the sale of all of
     Beloit's  significant  foreign  subsidiaries  (apart  from  those  that had
     previously  filed for or been placed into  receivership or other applicable
     forms  of  judicial  supervision  in  their  respective  countries).  As of
     September 8, 2000, all approved  sales of domestic  assets had taken place,
     as had several sales of foreign subsidiaries.  Beloit expects that closings
     on the remaining  approved sales of foreign  subsidiaries will occur by the
     end 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 $170.1  million  for the nine months  ended July 31, 2000 and
     $541.3 million for the comparable  period in 1999.  Loss from  discontinued
     operations  was $751.1  million  for the nine months  ended July 31,  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  nine-month
     period  ended July 31,  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 July
     31, 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.  As of
     September  8,  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
     nine  months  ended  July 31,  2000,  reorganization  expenses  related  to
     continuing operations were as follows:

                                                   Three months     Nine months

(e)  Restructuring Charges
     ---------------------

     In the third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999 Joy  announced  and  implemented  a
     restructuring  plan. A 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 nine months of fiscal 2000 a further
     $5.4  million  restructuring  charge was recorded  under the  restructuring
     plan,  primarily for severance costs associated with the rationalization of
     certain of Joy's original  equipment  manufacturing  capacity in the United
     Kingdom and to a lesser extent for reductions in employment in South Africa
     associated with a reorganization of Joy's business in that market.

     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 such
     amounts 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:

     As a result of the bankruptcy filings,  principal and interest payments may
     not be made on prepetition debt without  Bankruptcy Court approval or until
     a  reorganization  plan or plans  defining  the  repayment  terms  has been
     confirmed.  The differences in recorded prepetition  liabilities subject to
     compromise  as of October  31,  1999 as  compared  to July 31,  2000 relate
     primarily to: (i) the expiry of liabilities associated with certain advance
     payments,  progress  billings and accrued project costs upon the completion
     of the  associated  prepetition  projects;  (ii) the  settlement of the APP
     claim  as  discussed  below  under  `Contingent  Liabilities';   (iii)  the
     assumption  of certain  prepetition  secured debt by  purchasers  of Beloit
     assets; and (iv) changes in estimates  associated with the ongoing analysis
     of claims.  The total  interest  on  prepetition  debt that was not paid or
     charged to  earnings  for the period from June 7, 1999 to July 31, 2000 was
     $84.7 million,  of which $53.5 million  relates to the first nine 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 July 31, 2000, the Company was contingently  liable to banks,  financial
     institutions and others for approximately $188.4 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 $188.4
     million:  approximately  $105.3 million  ($168.7  million as of October 31,
     1999) was  issued  at the  request  of the  Company  on  behalf of  Beloit;
     approximately  $137.5 million was issued at the request of Debtor  entities
     prior to the  bankruptcy  filing;  and $50.9 million  ($48.8  million as of
     October  31,  1999)  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 $28.8 million  ($48.5  million as of
     October  31,  1999) of  outstanding  letters of credit or other  guarantees
     issued by non-US banks for non-US subsidiaries.

     As of  September  8, 2000,  the Debtors had not  completed  their review of
     prepetition  executory  contracts to determine  whether to assume or reject
     such contracts. Rejection of executory contracts could result in additional
     prepetition  claims  against  Debtors.  As of September 8, 2000, it was not
     possible to estimate the amount of additional prepetition claims that could
     arise out of the rejection of executory  contracts.  In the case of Beloit,
     the rejection of contracts for certain uncompleted projects could result in
     substantial   additional   prepetition  claims  against  Beloit  and  could
     significantly  increase  liabilities  subject to  compromise  of the 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 September 8, 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  regarding  certain
     substantial  claims and  back-charges  APP has asserted with respect to the
     first two  machines.  As of  September  8,  2000,  it was not  possible  to
     estimate the liabilities that could arise from claims and back-charges that
     have or may be asserted with respect to the first two machines.  An adverse
     resolution of these claims and  back-charges  could result in a significant
     increase in the  liabilities  subject to compromise of Beloit  discontinued
     operations.

     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. 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 or parties for fair market value. In view of the intention to
     sell the note and  volatility  in the  applicable  capital  markets for the
     note, no value for the note has been recognized in the financial statements
     as of July 31, 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.  Also as part of
     the settlement, 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.

     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.

     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 $350  million  revolving  credit  facility;  (ii)  Tranche B $200
     million term loan facility; and (iii) Tranche C $200 million standby letter
     of credit facility. Effective May 30, 2000, the Company voluntarily reduced
     the size of the DIP Facility to $350  million.  The third  amendment to the
     DIP  Facility  dated as of June 16,  2000  reduced the size of Tranche A to
     $250 million, redefined Tranche B as a $100 million revolving loan facility
     expiring December 31, 2000, and eliminated  Tranche C. The fourth amendment
     to the DIP Facility dated as of August 3, 2000 provides for the syndication
     of the DIP Facility amongst the Chase Manhattan Bank (as agent) and certain
     other lenders.

     Under the amended DIP Facility,  proceeds may be used to fund post-petition
     working capital and other general corporate purposes during the term of the
     DIP  Facility  and to  pay up to $35  million  of  pre-petition  claims  of
     critical  vendors.  Tranche  A may be used for  both  revolving  loans  and
     issuance of certain letters of credit, limited to a maximum of $210 million
     in letters of credit,  consisting  of a $190 million  sub-limit for standby
     letters  of credit  and a $20  million  sub-limit  for  import  documentary
     letters of credit. Additionally,  in the case of standby letters of credit,
     the aggregate  letters of credit  outstanding  in favor of lenders to HII's
     foreign   subsidiaries   are  limited  (when   aggregated  with  loans  and
     investments made to repay the indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries) to $100
     million.  Further,  letters of credit issued in connection with performance
     and bid  requirements,  customer  advances and progress payments and surety
     bonds of HII's foreign subsidiaries are limited to $100 million.

     Borrowings  under  the DIP  Facility  are  subject  to a  "borrowing  base"
     calculation which includes eligible accounts receivable,  unbilled accounts
     receivable,  work-in-process,  raw materials, finished goods, machinery and
     equipment  and  intellectual  property,  each as defined in the amended DIP
     Facility  agreement.  Availability  of funds for the  benefit of Beloit are
     limited to an  aggregate  principal  amount not in excess of the sum of the
     portion of the net cash proceeds  received from the sales of Beloit assets,
     plus $23 million, plus an amount not in excess of $17 million in respect of
     letters of credit issued for Beloit's benefit.  Availability of funds under
     the DIP  Facility  for the  benefit  of Beloit is  further  limited  by the
     requirement  that Beloit's  cumulative  EBITDA loss (as defined) will be no
     more than $50 million for the period from May 1, 2000 through  December 31,
     2000.  No further  funds will be available to Beloit under the DIP Facility
     after December 31, 2000.

     The DIP Facility  imposes monthly minimum EBITDA tests and quarterly limits
     on capital expenditures. At July 31, 2000, $25 million in direct borrowings
     had been drawn under the DIP Facility and classified as a current liability
     and letters of credit in the face  amount of $34.8  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  after June 16, 2000 in an
          aggregate amount in excess of $75 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.

     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.

     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$52.9 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 July 31,  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 July 31, 2000,  short-term bank credit lines of foreign  subsidiaries
     amounted to $109.0  million.  Outstanding  borrowings  against these credit
     lines,  principally  in the form of demand notes,  were $64.2 million as of
     July 31,  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 recognized in the Company's consolidated statement
     of operations  differs from the income tax benefit computed by applying the
     statutory  federal  income tax rate to the  income or loss from  continuing
     operations  for the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  2000  due  to:  (i) an
     additional  valuation  allowance  on  deferred  tax  benefits  and (ii) the
     effects of state and foreign taxes.

     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.

(i)  Inventories
     -----------

     Consolidated inventories consisted of the following:

     71% of  consolidated  inventories  at July 31, 2000 and  October 31,  1999,
     respectively.

       _______________
       (1)  Amounts for the three and nine months ended July 31, 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 July 31, 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
     included in Item 1 - Financial  Statements.  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 by creditors 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  little or no value to the  respective
     Debtor. As of September 8, 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  to qualified  pension plans have
     been made.

     The Debtors have the  exclusive  right until  September  15, 2000 to file a
     plan or plans of reorganization. Such period has been extended from time to
     time  during  the  pendency  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.  In  aggregate
     terms,  the  amounts  claimed  by  creditors  are larger  than the  amounts
     recorded in the Debtors'  schedules and financial  statements.  Debtors are
     objecting  to excessive  claims and  otherwise  seeking to eliminate  these
     differences. Litigation may be required to resolve such differences.

     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.

     While it is not possible to predict with  certainty  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,  the Debtors have analyzed a large portion of the claims
     filed  against the Debtors and are actively  preparing  for the filing of a
     plan or plans of reorganization.

     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. 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 or otherwise attributed to the
     Company's common shares. 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, 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  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 July 31:

             changes in estimates  for  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts,
             warranty, and excess and obsolete inventory.

     Sales of the Surface Mining  Equipment  segment were $114.9 million for the
     three  months  ended  July 31,  2000,  a 4%  decrease  from sales of $119.6
     million  during the same period of fiscal 1999.  Original  equipment  sales
     increased  by 25%,  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  decreased
     15% for the  three  months  ended  July 31,  2000 due to  lower  parts  and
     dragline service sales.

     Operating  profit was $14.5  million or 12.6% of sales in the three  months
     ended  July  31,  2000,  compared  to  an  operating  loss  before  charges
     associated with changes in estimates of $4.8 million for the  corresponding
     period in 1999. The higher operating profit in the third quarter of 2000 as
     compared  to the same  period of 1999 was due  primarily  to lower  product
     costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Bookings  were  $112.8  million in the three  months  ended  July 31,  2000
     compared  to $99.7  million  during  the  equivalent  period  in 1999.  The
     increase is primarily due to higher original  equipment  bookings.  The P&H
     order  backlog was $73.3  million as of July 31, 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  $240 million as of July 31,
     2000.

     Nine Months Ended July 31, 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 nine months ended July 31:

        In thousands                             2000                1999

             -------------
             * after charges against operating profit of $5,000 in 1999 for
             changes in estimates  for  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts,
             warranty, and excess and obsolete inventory.

     Sales of the Surface  Mining  Equipment  segment were $370.4 million in the
     first  nine  months of fiscal  2000,  a 4%  increase  from  sales of $355.6
     million  during the same period of fiscal 1999.  Original  equipment  sales
     increased 26%,  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 7% in the first
     nine  months of 2000 as  compared  with the first nine months of 1999 which
     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 $39.7  million  or 10.7% of sales in the nine  months
     ended July 31, 2000, compared to operating profit before charges associated
     with  changes  in  estimates  of $19.6  million  and 5.5% of sales  for the
     corresponding period in 1999. The higher operating profit in the first nine
     months  of 2000 as  compared  to the  first  nine  months  of 1999  was due
     primarily  to  lower   product  costs  and  lower   selling,   general  and
     administrative expenses.

     Bookings  were  $349.9  million  in the first  nine  months of fiscal  2000
     compared  to $308.4  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 $73.3  million as of July 31, 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 July 31, 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 July 31:

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

          Net Sales                         $ 144,857            $ 154,127
          Operating Profit (Loss) *         $   1,410            $ (78,550)
          Bookings                          $ 126,924            $ 137,702

          -------------
          * after restructuring (credits) charges of $(1,041) and $8,231
          in 2000 and  1999,  respectively,  and after  charges  against
          operating  profit of $63,520 in 1999 for changes in  estimates
          for allowance for doubtful accounts,  warranty, and excess and
          obsolete inventory.

     Net sales for the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 were $9.3 million less than
     they were in the third  quarter last year.  This  decrease in net sales was
     due to a decline in new machine and repair parts sales, partially offset by
     an  increase in machine  rebuild  sales.  The decline in new machine  sales
     resulted  from lower sales of longwall  shearers,  roof  supports  and face
     conveyors  in the United  Kingdom,  offset by an increase in  shipments  of
     continuous  miners in the United States.  The decline in sales for longwall
     mining equipment  reflects continued softness in the global market for that
     equipment.  Shipments of continuous  miners in the United States in each of
     the past two quarters exceeded shipments in the corresponding quarters last
     year. In the  aftermarket,  decreased  parts sales in all markets were more
     than offset by an  increase in  component  repair  sales and a  significant
     increase in machine rebuilds, primarily in the United States and the United
     Kingdom.  The increase in machine rebuild activity is partially  associated
     with  customers'  decisions to delay the purchase of new  equipment  and to
     refurbish their existing equipment.

     Despite the decline in net sales  during the third  quarter of fiscal 2000,
     operating  profit  before  restructuring   charges  (credits)  and  charges
     associated with changes in estimates was $0.4 million this year compared to
     a $6.8  million  loss for the third  quarter  last year.  The loss of gross
     margin  associated  with the decline in net sales was offset by a favorable
     sales  mix and a $6.5  million  reduction  in  spending  for  manufacturing
     overhead  and  selling,  engineering  and  administrative  expenses.  These
     reduced  spending  levels were the result of cost  reduction  programs that
     were initiated during the third quarter last year.

     New order  bookings in the current  quarter were $10.8 million less than in
     the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The entire decrease in new orders was due
     to continued  softness in all geographic markets for new machine sales. The
     booking of a large order for a complete  longwall  equipment  system,  roof
     supports,  face  conveyor  and  shearing  machine in the United  States was
     partially  offset by the  cancellation  of a roof support and face conveyor
     order in the United  Kingdom.  Aftermarket  bookings in the current quarter
     were  approximately  the  same  level  as  a  year  ago.  The  backlog  for
     underground  mining  machinery  was  $136.7  million  as of July  31,  2000
     compared to $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  $75.2
     million as of July 31, 2000.

     Nine Months Ended July 31, 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 nine months ended July 31:

     In thousands                         2000                     1999

             -------------
             * after restructuring charges of $5,438 and $8,231 in 2000 and
             1999, respectively, and after charges against operating profit
             of $63,520 in 1999 for changes in estimates  for allowance for
             doubtful   accounts,   warranty,   and  excess  and   obsolete
             inventory.

     Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $20.2  million less
     than in the same  period of fiscal  1999.  The lower  sales  resulted  from
     declines in roof support  sales and shuttle car  shipments.  The decline in
     roof support sales reflects softness in the global market for this product.
     The  decrease  in sales of  shuttle  cars  reflects  the  competition  that
     suppliers  of new shuttle cars are facing from used  equipment  vendors and
     from alternative batch haulage equipment such as battery powered equipment.
     In the  aftermarket,  a decrease in repair parts sales was more than offset
     by an increase in complete machine rebuilds in the United States.

     Before  charges or credits  for  restructuring  and  changes in  estimates,
     operating  profit for the first  three  quarters  of fiscal  2000 was $12.6
     million  compared  with $4.9  million for the same  period a year ago.  The
     benefits of Joy's cost reduction  programs more than offset the decrease in
     operating profit associated with lower net sales. Year-to-date spending for
     manufacturing  overhead,  selling,  engineering and administrative expenses
     was $19 million less than for the same period of fiscal 1999.

     New order  bookings  for the first  three  quarters of fiscal 2000 were $83
     million  below  bookings for the  equivalent  period of fiscal  1999.  This
     decrease  in new orders  was due to a decline  in orders for new  machines.
     Orders for roof supports, shuttle cars and longwall shearers were less than
     they were a year ago. The level of new machine  orders  reflects  continued
     softness in the markets for the segment's new machines. In the aftermarket,
     bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were at approximately  the
     same level as in fiscal 1999.

     In the third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999 Joy  announced  and  implemented  a
     restructuring  plan. A 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 nine months of fiscal 2000, a further
     $5.4  million  restructuring  charge was recorded  under the  restructuring
     plan,  primarily for severance costs associated with the rationalization of
     certain of Joy's original  equipment  manufacturing  capacity in the United
     Kingdom and to a lesser extent for reductions in employment in South Africa
     associated with a reorganization of Joy's business in that market.

     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 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 August 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. In addition, approval was received for the sale of all of
     Beloit's  significant  foreign  subsidiaries  (apart  from  those  that had
     previously  filed for or been placed into  receivership or other applicable
     forms  of  judicial  supervision  in  their  respective  countries).  As of
     September 8, 2000, all approved  sales of domestic  assets had taken place,
     as had several sales of foreign subsidiaries.  Beloit expects that closings
     on the remaining  approved sales of foreign  subsidiaries will occur by the
     end 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 $170.1  million  for the nine months  ended July 31, 2000 and
     $541.3 million for the comparable  period in 1999.  Loss from  discontinued
     operations  was $751.1  million  for the nine months  ended July 31,  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  nine-month
     period  ended July 31,  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 July
     31, 2000.   See Note (f) - Liabilities  Subject to  Compromise  included in
     Item 1 - Financial Statements for a discussion of the APP settlement.

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

     The income tax provision recognized in the Company's consolidated statement
     of operations  differs from the income tax benefit computed by applying the
     statutory  federal  income tax rate to the  income or loss from  continuing
     operations  for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 due to: (i) a valuation
     allowance  on  deferred  tax  benefits  and (ii) the  effects  of state and
     foreign taxes.

     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.

     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.  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  or
     otherwise  attributed to the Company's common shares. 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 July 31, 2000, was $191.3 million including $71.4 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 main factors  influencing the change in working capital were:
     (a)  a  $22.4  million   decline  in   short-term   borrowings  by  foreign
     subsidiaries,  resulting  principally  from a  significant  decrease in the
     borrowing  needs of the Company's  South African  subsidiaries as well as a
     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 by  approximately
     $11.0 million;  (b) the $14.1 million increase in cash balances  maintained
     by the Company  noted  above;  and (c) a $7.5  million  reduction  in trade
     accounts  payable and a $17.8  million  reduction  in advance  payments and
     progress billings, partially offset by a $16.9 million decrease in accounts
     receivable,  primarily  reflective  of a smaller  number  of major  capital
     orders  in the third  quarter  of fiscal  2000 as  compared  with the final
     quarter of fiscal 1999. These working capital increases were largely offset
     by inventory  reduction  efforts (notably at Joy) which resulted in a $34.8
     million  decline in  inventory  during the first nine months of fiscal 2000
     and the  reclassification  of borrowings  under the DIP Facility from long-
     term to current  maturity  which  resulted in a $25.0  million  increase in
     current liabilities.

     Cash Flow from Continuing Operations
     ------------------------------------

     Cash generated by the Company's continuing  operations was $9.2 million for
     the nine months ended July 31, 2000  compared  with cash used by continuing
     operations  of  $54.6  million  for the  comparable  period  in  1999.  The
     improvement in operating  cash flows resulted  primarily from the reduction
     in operating losses from $108.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal
     1999 to $10.2  million for the same period in fiscal  2000.  However,  this
     improvement was mitigated somewhat by several other factors,  most notably:
     (a) the net discharge of $4.9 million in trade accounts  payable during the
     first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared with an increase of $26.2 million
     in trade  accounts  payable for the same period of fiscal 1999,  reflecting
     the severe cash constraints  experienced by the Company in the period prior
     to the bankruptcy  filing;  (b) the  utilization by Joy of $12.0 million of
     previously established  restructuring reserves during the first nine months
     of fiscal 2000  compared  with none in 1999;  and (c) the  inclusion in the
     1999  operating  loss of $26.7 million of non-cash  restructuring  charges,
     reorganization  items and charges related to executive change compared with
     $20.0 million for these items in fiscal 2000.

     Investment  and other  transactions  provided $9.8 million during the first
     nine  months of  fiscal  2000  compared  with a cash  utilization  of $12.3
     million associated with investment and other  transactions  during the same
     period of fiscal 1999.  The  principal  reasons for the  difference in cash
     flows from investments and other transactions between the two periods were:
     (a) the inclusion in fiscal 1999 of a $15.9 million  deposit  placed with a
     bank in connection with certain  letters of credit  associated with the APP
     contracts  and the  subsequent  release of the deposit  during  fiscal 2000
     generating cash of an equal amount; and (b) the inclusion in fiscal 2000 of
     proceeds of $8.0 million related to the sale of land in Wisconsin.

     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 $350  million  revolving  credit  facility;  (ii)  Tranche B $200
     million term loan facility; and (iii) Tranche C $200 million standby letter
     of credit facility. Effective May 30, 2000, the Company voluntarily reduced
     the size of the DIP Facility to $350  million.  The third  amendment to the
     DIP  Facility  dated as of June 16,  2000  reduced the size of Tranche A to
     $250 million, redefined Tranche B as a $100 million revolving loan facility
     expiring  December 31, 2000 and eliminated  Tranche C. The fourth amendment
     to the DIP Facility dated as of August 3, 2000 provides for the syndication
     of the DIP Facility amongst the Chase Manhattan Bank (as agent) and certain
     other lenders.

     Under the amended DIP Facility,  proceeds may be used to fund post-petition
     working capital and other general corporate purposes during the term of the
     DIP  Facility  and to  pay up to $35  million  of  pre-petition  claims  of
     critical  vendors.  Tranche  A may be used for  both  revolving  loans  and
     issuance of certain letters of credit, limited to a maximum of $210 million
     in letters of credit,  consisting  of a $190 million  sub-limit for standby
     letters  of credit  and a $20  million  sub-limit  for  import  documentary
     letters of credit. Additionally,  in the case of standby letters of credit,
     the aggregate  letters of credit  outstanding  in favor of lenders to HII's
     foreign   subsidiaries   are  limited  (when   aggregated  with  loans  and
     investments made to repay the indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries) to $100
     million.  Further,  letters of credit issued in connection with performance
     and bid  requirements,  customer  advances and progress payments and surety
     bonds of HII's foreign subsidiaries are limited to $100 million.

     Borrowings  under  the DIP  Facility  are  subject  to a  "borrowing  base"
     calculation which includes eligible accounts receivable,  unbilled accounts
     receivable,  work-in-process,  raw materials, finished goods, machinery and
     equipment  and  intellectual  property,  each as defined in the amended DIP
     Facility  agreement.  Availability  of funds for the  benefit of Beloit are
     limited to an  aggregate  principal  amount not in excess of the sum of the
     portion of the net cash proceeds  received from the sales of Beloit assets,
     plus $23 million, plus an amount not in excess of $17 million in respect of
     letters of credit issued for Beloit's benefit.  Availability of funds under
     the DIP  Facility  for the  benefit  of Beloit is  further  limited  by the
     requirement  that Beloit's  cumulative  EBITDA loss (as defined) will be no
     more than $50 million for the period from May 1, 2000 through  December 31,
     2000.  No further  funds will be available to Beloit under the DIP Facility
     after December 31, 2000.

     The DIP Facility  imposes monthly minimum EBITDA tests and quarterly limits
     on capital expenditures. At July 31, 2000, $25 million in direct borrowings
     had been drawn under the DIP Facility and classified as a current liability
     and letters of credit in the face  amount of $34.8  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  after June 16, 2000 in an
          aggregate amount in excess of $75 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.

     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.

     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  September 8, 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 July 31, 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 counterparty to substantially all these contracts is 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 July 31, 2000, the nominal or face value of forward foreign  exchange
     contracts to which the Company and its subsidiaries  were parties was $77.2
     million in absolute U.S. dollar equivalent terms.

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  debtor-in-possession  and  exit  financing;  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, oil
          sands 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;
          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.

          "Dilution  Ratio" shall mean at any date,  the amount  (expressed as a
          percentage)  equal to (a) the aggregate amount of the Dilution Factors

          Guarantor  (whether  by legal or trade name) as sole payee and as sole
          remittance  party.  In determining  the amount to be so included,  the
          face amount of Accounts shall be reduced, without duplication,  by (a)
          the  aggregate  amount of all cash received in respect of the Accounts

               (e)  the  Account  Debtor  is a  creditor  of the  Borrower  or a
          Guarantor  who (i) has or has  asserted a right of setoff  against the
          Borrower or such Guarantor or (ii) has disputed its liability (whether
          by  chargeback  or  otherwise)  or made any claim with  respect to the
          Account or any other Account of the Borrower or such  Guarantor  which
          has not been  resolved,  in each  case,  without  duplication,  to the
          extent of the amount  owed by the  Borrower or such  Guarantor  to the
          Account Debtor, the amount of such actual or asserted right of setoff,
          or the amount of such dispute or claim, as the case may be,  provided,
          that items will not be considered  ineligible under this clause (e) if
          such item was included in the  Borrower's  calculation of the Dilution
          Reserve; or

               (f)  the  Account  Debtor  is  insolvent  or the  subject  of any

          directly drawable by the Agent; or

               (h)  the  sale  to  the  Account  Debtor  is on a  bill-and-hold,
          guaranteed sale, sale-and-return, ship-and-return, sale on approval or

          written   agreement   providing  for   repurchase  or  return  of  any
          merchandise  which  has been  claimed  to be  defective  or  otherwise
          unsatisfactory; or

               (i) the  Account  Debtor is the  United  States of America or any

          note,  draft,  trade acceptance or other instrument for the payment of
          money  has  been   received,   presented   for  payment  and  returned
          uncollected for any reason.

               Without  limiting  the  foregoing,  (x) no  Account  shall  be an
          Eligible  Account  Receivable  if it is for goods  that have been sold
          under a purchase order or pursuant to the terms of a contract or other
          agreement or  understanding  (written or oral) that indicates that any
          Person  other than the  Borrower or a  Guarantor  has or has had or is

          Account Debtor and any Affiliates thereof that are unpaid more than 60
          days from the due date  pursuant  to clause (c) above,  there shall be
          excluded  the amount of any net credit  balances  due and owing to the

          (i)  cost  determined  in  accordance  with  GAAP  stated  on a  basis
          consistent  with the  historical  practices  of the Borrower as of the
          date hereof or (ii) market value,  that the Agent,  in its  reasonable
          discretion,  shall deem eligible, reduced by (x) the value of reserves
          which have been  recorded by the  Borrower  with  respect to obsolete,
          slow-moving  or excess  inventory  and (y) such other  reserves as the
          Agent, in its reasonable commercial discretion after consultation with

          Subsidiary,  as the case may be (to the  extent  not  provided  for by
          reserves as described above);

               (d) any event shall have  occurred or any  condition  shall exist
          with  respect  to such item of  Inventory  which  would  substantially
          impede the  ability  of the  Borrower  or the  relevant  Guarantor  to
          continue to use or sell such item of inventory in the normal course of
          business;

               (e) any claim disputing the title of the Borrower or the relevant
          Guarantor to, or right to possession of or dominion over, such item of
          Inventory shall have been asserted;

               (f) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or
          in any other Loan Document  applicable to either  Inventory in general
          or to any such  specific  item of  Inventory  has been  breached  with
          respect to such items of Inventory,  and such breach shall  materially
          impair the value of such Inventory;

               (g) the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary,  as the case may be,
          does not have good and marketable  title as sole owner of such item of
          Inventory;

               (h)  such  item of  Inventory  is owned  by the  Borrower  or the
          relevant  Subsidiary and has been  consigned to other  Persons,  or is
          located at, or in the possession  of, a vendor of the Borrower,  or is
          in transit to or from, or held or stored by, third parties;

               (i) such item of  Inventory  is  located  outside  of the  United
          States;

               (j) such item of Inventory is evidenced by an Account;

          a dispute in respect of any such agreement;

               (l) such item of Inventory was manufactured and/or transferred by
          or from the Borrower's or Guarantors' operating business units (to the
          extent of the amount of intercompany profits thereon);

               (m)  accounting  adjustments  were made to such item of Inventory
          that increased its value upon the acquisition of an operating  company
          (to the extent of such increase); or

               (n) such item of Inventory has been  otherwise  determined by the
          Agent  (after   consultation   with  the  Borrower),   exercising  its
          commercially  reasonable  discretion,  to be unacceptable  because the
          Agent  believes  that such item of  Inventory  is not readily  salable
          under the customary terms on which it is usually sold.

               Without  limiting the foregoing,  Inventory shall not be Eligible
          Inventory if (i) the purchase order,  invoice or any other document in
          connection therewith indicates that any Person other than the Borrower
          or a Guarantor  has any ownership  interest  therein or (ii) it arises
          from a contract or other  agreement  with a supplier or customer  that

          work in  progress  costs which have been  recognized  as cost of sales

          items.

          "Eligible  Work-in-Process"  shall mean,  on any date,  the  Inventory

          Guarantors'  perpetual  inventory  records or equivalent  reporting in
          accordance  with  their  current  and  historical   classification  of
          work-in-process.

          "Inventory  Value"  shall mean a dollar  amount equal to the lesser of
          (i)  the  standard  cost   (exclusive  of  favorable  or   unfavorable
          variances) of Inventory determined on a basis consistent with GAAP and
          with  the  Borrower's  and  the  Guarantors'  current  and  historical

          Bank undrawn and marked  "cancelled"  or (B) if the Borrower is unable
          to do so in whole or in part,  either  (I)  provide  a  "back-to-back"
          letter of credit to one or more Fronting Banks in a form  satisfactory
          to such Fronting Bank and the Agent (in their sole discretion), issued
          by a bank  satisfactory  to such Fronting Bank and the Agent (in their
          sole  discretion),  in an  amount  equal to 105% of the  then  undrawn

               (3) The Borrower  shall pay to each Fronting Bank, in addition to
          such  other  fees and  charges  as are  specifically  provided  for in

          Fronting  Bank as are  customarily  imposed by such Fronting Bank from
          time to time in connection with letter of credit transactions.

               (4) Drafts  drawn under each  Tranche A Letter of Credit shall be

          shall effect such  reimbursement  (x) if such draw occurs prior to the
          Termination  Date (or the  earlier  date of  termination  of the Total
          Tranche A  Commitment),  in cash or through a Borrowing  of  Revolving
          Loans without the  satisfaction of the conditions  precedent set forth

          Commitment), in cash.

               (5)  Immediately  upon the  issuance  of any  Tranche A Letter of
          Credit by any Fronting  Bank,  such  Fronting  Bank shall be deemed to
          have sold to each  Tranche A Bank  other than such  Fronting  Bank and
          each such  other  Tranche A Bank shall be deemed  unconditionally  and
          irrevocably  to  have  purchased  from  such  Fronting  Bank,  without
          recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation,  to the
          extent of such Tranche A Bank's Commitment Percentage, in such Tranche
          A Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the
          Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement with respect thereto.
          Upon any  change in the  Tranche A  Commitments  pursuant  to  Section
          10.03,  it is hereby  agreed that with respect to all Tranche A Letter
          of Credit Outstandings,  there shall be an automatic adjustment to the
          participations   hereby   created  to  reflect   the  new   Commitment
          Percentages of the assigning and assignee  Tranche A Banks. Any action
          taken or  omitted by a Fronting  Bank  under or in  connection  with a
          Tranche A Letter of  Credit,  if taken or  omitted  in the  absence of
          gross  negligence  or  willful  misconduct,  shall not create for such
          Fronting Bank any resulting liability to any other Tranche A Bank.

               (6) In the event that a Fronting Bank makes any payment under any
          Letter of Credit  and the  Borrower  shall  not have  reimbursed  such
          amount  in full to  such  Fronting  Bank  on the  first  Business  Day
          following the date of draw,  the Fronting Bank shall  promptly  notify
          the Agent,  which  shall  promptly  notify  each Bank (as  applicable)
          thereof,   and  each  Bank  (as   applicable)   shall   promptly   and
          unconditionally  pay to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Bank
          the amount of such Bank's  Commitment  Percentage of such unreimbursed
          payment in  Dollars  and in same day funds.  If the  Fronting  Bank so
          notifies  the Agent,  and the Agent so notifies the  applicable  Banks
          prior to 11:00 a.m.  (New York City time) on any  Business  Day,  such
          Banks shall make available to the Fronting Bank such Bank's Commitment
          Percentage  of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same
          day funds.  If and to the extent  such Bank shall not have so made its
          Commitment  Percentage of the amount of such payment  available to the
          Fronting  Bank,  such  Bank  agrees  to pay  to  such  Fronting  Bank,
          forthwith on demand such amount,  together with interest thereon,  for
          each day from  such date  until  the date  such  amount is paid to the
          Agent for the  account  of such  Fronting  Bank at the  Federal  Funds
          Effective  Rate.  The  failure  of any  Bank (as  applicable)  to make
          available  to the  Fronting  Bank  its  Commitment  Percentage  of any
          payment under any Letter of Credit (as  applicable)  shall not relieve
          any other Bank (as  applicable)  of its  obligation  hereunder to make
          available  to the  Fronting  Bank  its  Commitment  Percentage  of any
          payment  under any such  Letter of  Credit  on the date  required,  as
          specified  above,  but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of
          any other  Bank to make  available  to such  Fronting  Bank such other
          Bank's Commitment Percentage of any such payment.  Whenever a Fronting
          Bank receives a payment of a  reimbursement  obligation as to which it
          has received any payments from the Banks  pursuant to this  paragraph,
          such  Fronting  Bank  shall  pay to  each  Bank  which  has  paid  its
          Commitment  Percentage  thereof,  in Dollars and in same day funds, an
          amount equal to such Bank's applicable Commitment Percentage thereof.

     19.  Section  2.05(b)  of the Credit  Agreement  is hereby  amended  (i) by
inserting the words "or Tranche B Bank (as  applicable)"  immediately  following
the words  "Tranche  A Bank"  each  time the same  appears  therein  and (ii) by

Exhibit 4(b)

                          FOURTH AMENDMENT TO REVOLVING

                          CREDIT AND GUARANTY AGREEMENT

         FOURTH AMENDMENT, dated as of August 3, 2000 (the "Amendment"),  to the
REVOLVING  CREDIT  AND  GUARANTY  AGREEMENT,  dated  as of June 7,  1999,  among
HARNISCHFEGER  INDUSTRIES,  INC., a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Borrower"),  a
debtor and  debtor-in-possession  under Chapter 11 of the  Bankruptcy  Code, the
Guarantors  named therein (the  "Guarantors"),  THE CHASE  MANHATTAN BANK, a New
York banking  corporation  ("Chase"),  each of the other financial  institutions
party thereto  (together with Chase,  the "Banks") and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK,
as Agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the "Agent"):

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS,  the  Borrower,  the  Guarantors,  the Banks and the Agent are
parties to that certain  Revolving  Credit,  Term Loan and  Guaranty  Agreement,
dated  as of June 7,  1999,  as  amended  by that  certain  First  Amendment  to
Revolving Credit,  Term Loan and Guaranty  Agreement,  dated as of July 8, 1999,
that  certain  Second  Amendment  to  Revolving  Credit,  Term Loan and Guaranty
Agreement,  dated  as of July 8,  1999  and  that  certain  Third  Amendment  to
Revolving Credit,  Term Loan and Guaranty  Agreement,  dated as of June 16, 2000
(as the same may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time,
the "Credit Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS,  Section 10.03(b) of the Credit  Agreement  provides that each
Bank may  assign  to one or more  Eligible  Assignees  all or a  portion  of its
interests, rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation,  all or a portion  of its  Commitment  and the same  portion  of the
related  Loans at the time owing to it) by executing  and  delivering  with such
Eligible  Assignee an Assignment  and  Acceptance in  substantially  the form of
Exhibit D to the Credit Agreement (a copy of which is annexed hereto as Schedule
I); and

         WHEREAS,  Chase wishes to assign to each of the financial  institutions
(other than Chase) that is named on Annex A and Annex B hereto  (such  financial
institutions  other than Chase,  collectively the "New Banks"),  and each of the
New Banks wishes to assume, a pro rata portion of Chase's interests,  rights and
obligations under the Credit Agreement; and

         WHEREAS,  the Borrower,  the Guarantors,  Chase,  the New Banks and the
Agent have  determined  that the  execution  and  delivery of this  Amendment to
effectuate a reallocation of the Total  Commitment among Chase and the New Banks
will be more expeditious and  administratively  efficient than the execution and
delivery of a separate  Assignment and Acceptance  between Chase and each of the
New Banks; and

         WHEREAS,  upon the  occurrence  of the Effective  Date (as  hereinafter
defined) of this  Amendment,  each of the New Banks shall  become a party to the
Credit  Agreement as a Bank and shall have the rights and  obligations of a Bank
thereunder,  the respective  Commitment of Chase and each of the New Banks under
the Credit Agreement shall be in the amount set forth opposite its name on Annex
A and Annex B hereto,  as the same may be reduced from time to time  pursuant to
Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. As used herein, all terms that are defined in the Credit Agreement shall
have the same  meanings  herein.

     2. Annex A to the Credit  Agreement  is hereby  replaced in its entirety by
Annex A hereto.

     3. Annex B to the Credit  Agreement  is hereby  replaced in its entirety by
Annex B hereto.

     4. The  signature  pages of the  Credit  Agreement  are  hereby  amended to
conform to the signature pages hereto.

     5. By its execution and delivery hereof, Chase shall be deemed to have made
each of the  statements  set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph 2 of the
Assignment and Acceptance as if such  statements  were fully set forth herein at
length.

     6. By its  execution  and delivery  hereof,  each of the New Banks shall be
deemed to have made each of the  statements  set  forth in  clauses  (i),  (ii),
(iii),  (iv) and (v) of paragraph 3 of the  Assignment and Acceptance as if such
statements were fully set forth herein at length.

     7. On the Effective  Date, (i) each New Bank will pay to the Agent (for the
account of Chase) such amount as represents  such New Bank's pro rata portion of
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, if any, that are outstanding on the
Effective  Date and such New Bank's pro rata portion of the aggregate  amount of
the then unreimbursed  drafts, if any, that were theretofore drawn under Letters
of  Credit,  and (ii) the Agent  shall pay to each of the New Banks such fees as
have been  previously  agreed to between  the Agent and such New Bank.  Promptly
following the occurrence of the Effective  Date, and in accordance  with Section
10.03(e) of the Credit  Agreement,  the Agent shall  record in the  Register the
names and  addresses  of each New Bank and the  principal  amount  equal to such
Bank's Commitment reflected on Annex A and Annex B hereto.

     8. By its execution and delivery  hereof,  each of the New Banks (i) agrees
that any  interest,  Commitment  Fees and  Letter of Credit  Fees  (pursuant  to
Sections 2.07, 2.19 and 2.20 of the Credit  Agreement) that accrued prior to the
Effective  Date shall not be payable to such New Bank and authorizes and directs
the Agent to deduct such amounts from any interest, Commitment Fees or Letter of
Credit  Fees paid  after the date  hereof  and to pay such  amounts to Chase (it
being  understood  that  interest,  Commitment  Fees and  Letter of Credit  Fees
respecting  the  Commitment  of Chase and each New Bank which accrue on or after
the  Effective  Date  shall  be  payable  to such  Bank in  accordance  with its
Commitment), (ii) acknowledges that if such New Bank is organized under the laws
of a  jurisdiction  outside of the United  States,  such New Bank has heretofore
furnished to the Agent the forms  prescribed by the Internal  Revenue Service of
the United States  certifying as to such New Bank's exemption from United States
withholding taxes with respect to any payments to be made to such New Bank under
the Credit  Agreement (or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that
all such payments are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax
treaty) and (iii) acknowledges that such New Bank has heretofore supplied to the
Agent the information  requested on the  administrative  questionnaire  which is
attached to the Assignment and Acceptance as Exhibit A.

     9. This Amendment shall not become  effective (the "Effective  Date") until
(i) the date on which this  Amendment  shall have been executed by the Borrower,
the  Guarantors,  Chase,  the New Banks and the Agent,  and the Agent shall have
received  evidence  satisfactory  to it of such  execution and (ii) the payments
provided for in clauses (i) and (ii) of paragraph 7 hereof shall have been made.

     10. Except to the extent hereby amended,  the Credit  Agreement and each of
the Loan Documents  remain in full force and effect and are hereby  ratified and
affirmed.

     11. The Borrower  agrees that its obligations set forth in Section 10.05 of
the Credit Agreement shall extend to the preparation,  execution and delivery of
this  Amendment,  including the  reasonable  fees and  disbursements  of special
counsel to the Agent.

     12. This Amendment  shall be limited  precisely as written and shall not be
deemed (a) to be a consent granted  pursuant to, or a waiver or modification of,
any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or
agreements referred to therein or (b) to prejudice any right or rights which the
Agent or the Banks  may now have or have in the  future  under or in  connection
with the Credit  Agreement or any of the  instruments or agreements  referred to
therein. Whenever the Credit Agreement is referred to in the Credit Agreement or
any of the  instruments,  agreements  or other  documents or papers  executed or
delivered in connection  therewith,  such reference  shall be deemed to mean the
Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

     13. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the
different  parties  hereto  in  separate  counterparts,  each of  which  when so
executed and delivered  shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     14. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance  with,
the laws of the State of New York.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
duly executed as of the day and the year first above written.
