                          Independent Auditors' Report


To the Pension and Investment Committee of
York International Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of York  International  Corporation  Investment Plan as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended.  These financial  statements are the responsibility of
the  Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material   respects,   the  net  assets  available  for  benefits  of  York
International  Corporation Investment Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and
the changes in net assets  available  for  benefits  for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  These  supplemental
schedules  are  the  responsibility  of  the  York   International   Corporation
Investment Plan's management.  The Fund Information in the financial  statements
is presented for purposes of additional  analysis rather than to present the net
assets  available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  the  audits  of the  basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            As of and for the Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996

A. Plan Description

         The York International  Corporation (Company) Investment Plan (Plan) is
         a defined  contribution  plan to enable eligible  employees to save for
         retirement  by  investing  a portion of their  earnings  in  investment
         securities (see  Investment  Elections  section  below).  The following
         brief  description  of the Plan is  provided  for  general  information
         purposes  only.  Participants  should refer to the Plan agreement for a
         more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     1. Plan Administration

     The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Company's Board of
     Directors (the Plan Committee).  The Plan assets are held by Corestates NA,
     Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania, as trustee (the Trustee). Fidelity Investments
     Institutional Operations Company is responsible for record keeping services
     and fund management.

     2. Eligibility

     Employees  of the  Company  may  participate  in the Plan if they have been
     employed  for  their  respective  eligibility  period  and are  members  of
     employee groups to which the Plan has been extended.

     3. Contributions to the Plan

     Each participant may elect to contribute as before tax  contributions  from
     one to sixteen percent of his or her compensation  through periodic payroll
     withholdings.  Each  participant may also elect to contribute an additional
     one to ten percent of his or her  compensation as after-tax  contributions,
     but the total of both before-tax and after-tax  contributions cannot exceed
     sixteen percent of compensation. Certain employee groups may be eligible to
     receive a Company match of 25% of the participant's pre-tax  contributions.
     Any  Company  match is limited to the first 4% of the  employee's  earnings
     contributed.

     4. Investment Elections

     The Plan offers seven investment programs to participants. Participants may
     elect to invest in ten percent  increments from zero to one hundred percent
     of their individual contributions in any of these funds.

     The "Fixed Income Fund", under an agreement between the Trustee and various
     insurance   companies,   provides  a   guaranteed   rate  of   interest  on
     contributions.

     The "Puritan Fund" is a mutual fund which seeks to obtain as much income as
     possible,  consistent with the preservation and conservation of capital, by
     investing in a broadly diversified  portfolio of high-yielding  securities,
     including common stocks, preferred stocks, and bonds.

     The  "Magellan  Fund" is a mutual fund which  invests  primarily  in common
     stock,   and   securities   convertible   into  common   stock,   of  U.S.,
     multinational,  and foreign companies of all sizes that offer potential for
     growth.

     The "Equity  Income Fund" is a growth and income fund. It seeks  reasonable
     income  with the  potential  for  capital  appreciation.  The fund tries to
     achieve a yield that  exceeds the  composite  yield of the S&P 500. It also
     considers   the   potential  for  capital   appreciation   when   selecting
     investments.  It invests  primarily in  income-producing  equity securities
     (common and preferred  stocks) but can also invest in bonds and convertible
     securities.

     The "Growth & Income Fund" is a growth and income fund. It seeks high total
     return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. It
     invests in  securities  of companies  that pay current  dividends and offer
     potential growth of earnings, such as common stocks, securities convertible
     into common stocks, preferred stocks and fixed-income securities.

     The "OTC  Portfolio  Fund" is a growth  fund.  It seeks  long-term  capital
     appreciation   by  investing   primarily  in   securities   traded  on  the
     over-the-counter  securities market. Securities in which the Portfolio Fund
     may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks,  securities convertible
     into common stocks and debt securities. Companies whose securities trade on
     the OTC market  generally are smaller or newer  companies than those on the
     New York and American Stock Exchanges.

     The "Overseas  Fund" is an  international  growth fund. It seeks  long-term
     capital growth primarily through investments in foreign  securities.  These
     investments may include common stock and securities convertible into common
     stock, as well as debt  instruments.  Normally,  at least 65% of the fund's
     total assets will be invested in  securities of issuers from at least three
     different countries outside of North America.

     6. Vesting

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

     7. Withdrawals

     Withdrawals of participant  contributions  may be made at the participant's
     option subject to Internal Revenue Code  limitations.  All vested interests
     are  distributed  upon  termination  of employment  unless the  participant
     elects to defer distribution. All assets are distributed in cash.

     8. Forfeitures

     Forfeitures may be used first to pay any expenses payable for the plan year
     and then shall be used to reduce the  employer  contributions  for the plan
     year. At December 31, 1997 forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $53,896.

B.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

     1. Basis of Accounting

     The financial  statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
     of accounting.

     2. Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition

     Investments in the Magellan Fund,  Puritan Fund, Equity Income Fund, Growth
     & Income Fund,  OTC  Portfolio  Fund and  Overseas  Fund are stated at fair
     value as reported by the Trustee.  Investments in the Fixed Income Fund are
     stated at contract  value.  Contract value  represents  contributions  made
     under the contract, plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals and administrative
     expenses.   Participant   Notes   Receivable   are  valued  at  cost  which
     approximates fair value.

     Purchases  and sales of  securities  are  recorded on a  trade-date  basis.
     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
     the ex-dividend date.

     3. Administrative Expenses

     Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

     4. Use of Estimates

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets,  liabilities,  and
     changes  therein,  and  disclosure  of contingent  assets and  liabilities.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

5.       Payment of Benefits

     Benefits are recorded when paid.

C.       Tax Status of the Plan

     The Internal  Revenue  Service has determined and informed the Company by a
     letter  dated  September  26,  1996,  that the Plan and  related  trust are
     designed in accordance  with  applicable  sections of the Internal  Revenue
     Code (IRC).  The Plan has been amended since  receiving  the  determination
     letter.  However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed
     and is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
     IRC.

D.       Plan Termination

     Although  it has not  expressed  any intent to do so, the  Company  has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue  its  contributions  at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
     termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

E.       Transfer in from Affiliated Plans

     During 1997 the Board of  Directors  of the  Company,  the Plan's  sponsor,
     voted to merge  effective  December 31, 1997, the Investment Plan for Imeco
     Employees and the Miller-Picking  Corporation  Retirement Savings Plan. All
     assets and the participants'  eligibility were transferred to the Plan. The
     assets were  invested in the Fixed Income Fund at December  31,  1997.  The
     related assets were transferred to investment funds in February 1998, based
     on the participants' election designations.

F.       Events (Unaudited) Subsequent to the Date of the Report of the 
         Independent Auditor

     In December  1998, the Company  amended the Plan to accept a  participant's
     direct rollover from another  employer's plan at any time after  employment
     with the Company.  Prior to the amendment the Plan accepted a participant's
     direct  rollover  from  another  employer's  plan only during the first six
     months of employment.

     In  February  of  1998,   the  Company   amended  the  Plan  to  merge  the
     Pace-Gamewell Employee Retirement Savings Plan into the Plan.

     Effective  January  1998,  the  Company  amended  the  Plan to  expand  the
     participant's  investment  programs from seven to fourteen.  The additional
     investment elections are:

     The  "U.S.  Equity  Index  Fund"  is a growth  and  income  fund.  It seeks
     investment  results that try to duplicate the  composition and total return
     of the S&P 500. The fund invests  primarily in the 500 companies  that make
     up the S&P 500 and in other  securities  that are based on the value of the
     Index.

     The "U.S. Bond Index Fund" is an income fund. It seeks  investment  results
     that correspond to the aggregate price and interest performance of the debt
     securities in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Lehman Brothers
     Aggregate  Bond  Index is a market  value  weighted  performance  benchmark
     investment-grade  fixed-rate debt issue,  including government,  corporate,
     asset-backed,  and mortgage-backed  securities, with maturities of at least
     one year. 

                                      -14-
                                     <PAGE>

     The fund invests in investment  grade (medium to high quality) or
     above with  maturities  of at least one year,  including  U.S.  Treasury or
     government securities and corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-backed
     securities and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign securities.

     The  "Freedom  Income  Fund"  is an  asset  allocation  fund  designed  for
     investors  who  want a simple  approach  to  investing  for  retirement  by
     investing in a collection of other  Fidelity  mutual  funds.  It seeks high
     current income and, as a secondary objective, some capital appreciation for
     those already in retirement.

     The "Freedom 2000 Fund" is an asset  allocation fund designed for investors
     who want a simple  approach to investing  for  retirement by investing in a
     collection of other Fidelity  mutual funds. It seeks high total returns for
     those planning to retire in approximately 1-10 years.

     The "Freedom 2010 Fund" is an asset  allocation fund designed for investors
     who want a simple  approach to investing  for  retirement by investing in a
     collection of other Fidelity  mutual funds. It seeks high total returns for
     those planning to retire in approximately 10-20 years.

     The "Freedom 2020 Fund" is an asset  allocation fund designed for investors
     who want a simple  approach to investing  for  retirement by investing in a
     collection of other Fidelity  mutual funds. It seeks high total returns for
     those planning to retire in approximately 20-30 years.

     The "Freedom 2030 Fund" is an asset  allocation fund designed for investors
     who want a simple  approach to investing  for  retirement by investing in a
     collection of other Fidelity  mutual funds. It seeks high total returns for
     those planning to retire in approximately 30-40 years.

     Effective March 1, 1999, the Company amended the Plan to offer participants
     an additional investment as follows:

     The  "York   International   Stock  Fund"   consists   primarily   of  York
     International  Corporation  stock, with a small portion of short-term money
     market  instruments for liquidity.  The liquidity is necessary to allow for
     daily transfers in and out of the fund.  Also,  participants do not receive
     shares of York  International  stock for their  investment;  instead  their
     balance is reported in units of participation.  The fund's share price will
     vary in relation to the market price of York International  stock. The York
     International  Stock  Fund  is  not a  mutual  fund  -- it is an  unmanaged
     non-diversified  investment option. If participants choose to invest in the
     York  International  Stock Fund, the following  restrictions  will apply to
     their investment:

     o    Limitation on New  Contributions - participants will only be permitted
          to invest up to 20% of any new  contributions  to the Plan in the York
          International Stock Fund.

     o    No Rollover  Purchase -  participants  will not be permitted to invest
          any portion of a rollover contribution in the York International Stock
          Fund.

     o    No Transfers from Other Funds into the York International Stock Fund -
          although  participants  will  be able to  continue  to make  exchanges
          between other investment funds,  participants will not be permitted to
          transfer amounts that are invested in another investment fund into the
          York International Stock Fund.

     o    Sales of York International Stock Fund Must Occur During Window Period
          - although participants will be permitted to sell any portion of their
          investment  in the  York  International  Stock  Fund  and  invest  the
          proceeds of that sale into another  investment fund, any sale can only
          occur  during  a  "window"  period  that  will be  established  by the
          Company.  Throughout  the  year,  participants  will  be  notified  of
          upcoming window periods.
