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

                   THE RAYMOND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


                Three Months ended March 31, 1994 compared to
                      Three Months ended March 31, 1993
                --------------------------------------------

       Revenues
       --------
       Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1994 in-
       creased by approximately $11.4 million, or 28.8% to $51.2 million
       from $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1993.

       The substantial growth in revenues was primarily the result of
       continued, enthusiastic customer acceptance of the Company's
       products and increased sales efforts through D.A.R.T. (the Dealer
       Alliance for Recruiting and Training), the Company's program to
       improve and expand the sales force at the Dealership level.
       Expanded sales into new markets through M.H.A., our 50% owned
       joint venture company with Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America,
       Inc., and O.E.M. agreements, as well as favorable foreign
       currency exchange gains, have also contributed to the growth in
       revenues.


       Cost of Sales
       -------------
       For the first quarter of 1994, cost of sales as a percentage of
       net sales was 77.0% as compared to 78.3% for the first quarter of
       1993.

       The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales in  the
       first three months of 1994 resulted primarily from lower manufac-
       turing costs for the Company's products achieved through continu-
       ing research and development efforts and  manufacturing efficien-
       cies.  In addition, the continued shift in product mix toward the
       new higher margin Intellidrive products and increased shipment
       levels permitting fixed overhead costs to be allocated over a
       larger shipment base contributed to the improvements in the cost
       of sales percentage for the first three months of 1994.


       Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
       --------------------------------------------
       For the first quarter of 1994, selling, general and administra-
       tive expenses increased by approximately $0.5 million or  6.9%  to
       $7.0 million from $6.5 million in the first quarter of 1993.

       As a percentage of total revenues, these expenses actually de-
       creased from 16.4% in the first quarter of 1993 to 13.6%  for  the
       same period in 1994.
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 11

          The dollar increase reflects additional expenses incurred to
      support the growth in sales volume and increased research and
      development activities associated with the Company's  continued
      product development.  However, the Company's continued efforts to
      contain costs in order to better focus its resources have result-
      ed in reduced selling, general and administrative costs as a
      percentage of total revenues.


      Interest Expense
      ----------------
      Lease financing operations are conducted through Raymond Leasing
      Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Lease
      financing interest expense was approximately $0.7 million (41.9%
      of lease finance revenue) in the quarter ended March 31, 1994 as
      compared with approximately $0.8 million (45.5% of lease finance
      revenue) in the comparable quarter in 1993.  The decline in inter-
      est expense in 1994 reflects the decline in average borrowings
      for financial services.

      Other interest expense of $1.0 million in the quarter ended March
      31, 1994, incurred by the Manufacturing divisions, increased by
      $0.6 million or 174.1% compared to the $0.4 million incurred for
      the same period in 1993.  The increase in 1994 reflects the in-
      creased average borrowings attributable to the issuance of $57.5
      million of 6.5% convertible debentures in December 1993.


      Other Expenses
      --------------
      Other expenses, which consist primarily of cash discounts allowed
      dealers for the timely payment of invoices, increased by approxi-
      mately $0.6 million to $1.6 million in the quarter ended March
      31, 1994 from $1.0 million for the same period in 1993.

      The increase is primarily due to additional profit sharing accru-
      als and cash discounts allowed as a result of the increased
      profitability and sales volume achieved in the first quarter of
      1994.


      Income Tax Expense
      ------------------
      During all periods reported, U.S. and foreign income tax provi-
      sions were computed using the respective expected annual effec-
      tive tax rates.


      Earnings of Unconsolidated Investees
      ------------------------------------
      The Company's primary unconsolidated investee is G.N. Johnston
      Equipment Co. Ltd. ("Johnston"), which is 45% owned by R.H.E.
      Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Johnston is the
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 12

       exclusive Canadian distributor for all of the Company's products
       with sales and service outlets in the principal business regions
       of the Dominion of Canada.  Other unconsolidated investees include
       several Dealerships located throughout the United States.

       Equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees increased by
       approximately $0.1 million to a breakeven level for the quarter
       ended March 31, 1994 compared to the $0.1 million loss reported
       for the same period in 1993.  Costs incurred in the first quarter
       of 1993 relating to the transition of the Denver based Dealership
       were not incurred in 1994.


       Stock Dividend
       --------------
       On March 5, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a 5% stock
       dividend on the Company's outstanding common stock.  On April 14,
       1994, shareholders of record as of March 31, 1994 received  one
       additional share of stock for each twenty shares held.  Earnings
       per share and weighted average shares outstanding have been
       restated to reflect the 5% stock dividend.


       Order Backlog
       -------------
       New equipment orders for the first quarter of 1994 were a record
       $53.5 million, up 27.5% from the $41.9 million for the first
       quarter of 1993.

       The backlog (unfilled new equipment orders) was a record  $57.6
       million at March 31, 1994, up 58.4% from the $36.3 million back-
       log reported for the same period last year and up $5.3  million
       from the backlog reported on December 31, 1993.


       Liquidity and Sources of Capital
       --------------------------------
       At March 31, 1994, the Company's manufacturing working  capital
       was $61.4 million and its ratio of manufacturing current assets
       to manufacturing current liabilities was 3.6 to 1.  At March 31,
       1994, the Company and Raymond Leasing Corporation, its  wholly-
       owned leasing subsidiary, had cash and cash equivalents of $17.0
       million and unused lines of credit aggregating $24.2 million, of
       which $10.6 million was available solely to Raymond Leasing
       Corporation.

       For the three months ended March 31, 1994, $1.7 million was used
       to fund operating activities compared to the $2.1 million used to
       fund operating activities for the comparable 1993 period.  This
       change is primarily attributable to the increase in cash from
       operating profits, net of non-cash foreign currency transaction
       gains and earnings of unconsolidated investees realized in  the
       first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993.  Net
<PAGE>
<PAGE> 13

       cash used for investing activities increased  $1.3  million  for  the
       first three months of 1994 compared to the  first  three  months  of
       1993.  The increase reflects  additional  investments  and  financing
       provided to Dealerships to enable them to  invest  in  the  salespeo-
       ple and other resources necessary to  increase  their  market  share
       and profitability.  Net cash used for  financing  activities  of  $6.0
       million for the first three months of  1994  reflects  the  acceler-
       ated repayment of higher interest rate financial services debt
       from the proceeds of the convertible debentures.

       At March 31, 1994, the Company had no material capital expendi-
       ture commitments.  As discussed in Note E to the Consolidated
       Financial Statements in the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders,
       Raymond Leasing Corporation is subject  to  certain  debt  agreements
       that limit distributions to the Company.  These restrictions are
       not expected to affect the Company's ability to meet its cash
       requirements.  The Company anticipates  no  changes  in  circumstances
       which would result in any material decrease  or  deficiency  in  the
       Company's liquidity or sources of capital.
