                        AGCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and
subsidiaries (the "Company" or "AGCO") included herein have been prepared by the
Company  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission.  In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal
recurring nature, to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of
operations  and cash  flows at the dates and for the  periods  presented.  These
condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's  audited  financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1995.
Interim  results of operations are not  necessarily  indicative of results to be
expected for the fiscal year.

         The accompanying  condensed  consolidated financial statements include,
on a separate,  supplemental basis, the Company's  Equipment  Operations and its
Finance  Company.  "Equipment  Operations"  reflect  the  consolidation  of  all
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries  with the exception of Agricredit
Acceptance Company ("Agricredit"),  a wholly-owned finance subsidiary,  which is
included  using the equity  method of  accounting.  The results of operations of
Agricredit are included  under the caption  "Finance  Company." All  significant
intercompany  transactions,  including activity within and between the Equipment
Operations  and  Finance  Company,   have  been  eliminated  to  arrive  at  the
"Consolidated"  financial  statements.  Certain  prior period  amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

2.       ACQUISITIONS

         Effective  June 28,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets and
liabilities  of  the   agricultural   and  industrial   equipment   business  of
Iochpe-Maxion   S.A.  (the  "Maxion   Agricultural   Equipment   Business")  for
consideration   consisting  of   approximately   $260.0   million  (the  "Maxion
Acquisition"). The Maxion Acquisition was financed primarily by borrowings under
the Company's $650.0 million revolving credit facility and was funded on July 1,
1996. The acquired assets and assumed  liabilities consist primarily of accounts
receivable,   inventories,   property,   plant  and  equipment   (including  two
manufacturing  facilities),  accounts payable and accrued liabilities.  Prior to
the acquisition,  the Maxion  Agricultural  Equipment Business was AGCO's Massey
Ferguson  licensee  in  Brazil,   manufacturing  and  distributing  agricultural
tractors under the Massey Ferguson brand name, industrial  loader-backhoes under
the  Massey  Ferguson  and  Maxion  brand  names and  combines  under the Massey
Ferguson and IDEAL brand names.

The following  unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 as if the Maxion  Acquisition,
and the related financings, had occurred at the beginning of 1995. The unaudited
pro forma  information has been prepared for comparative  purposes only and does
not purport to represent  what the results of  operations  of the Company  would
actually have been had the  transaction  occurred on the dates indicated or what
the results of operations may be in any future period.

3.       CHARGES FOR NONRECURRING EXPENSES

         The results of operations  included a charge for nonrecurring  expenses
of $6.2  million,  or $0.07 per common share on a fully diluted  basis,  for the
three months ended  September  30, 1996 and $12.9  million,  or $0.15 per common
share on a fully diluted  basis,  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996.
This charge  related to the further  restructuring  of the European  operations,
which was acquired in the Massey  Acquisition  in June 1994 and the  integration
and  restructuring  of the Maxion  Agricultural  Equipment  Business,  which was
acquired in June 1996 (Note 2).

         The nonrecurring  charge for the further  restructuring of the European
operations  included costs associated with the  centralization  of certain parts
warehousing,  administrative,  sales and marketing  functions.  The $9.2 million
nonrecurring  charge recorded  through  September 30, 1996 included $7.1 million
for employee  related  costs  consisting  primarily of severance  costs and $2.1
million for other nonrecurring  costs.  Included in the $7.1 million of employee
related costs was $1.0 million of payroll costs incurred  through  September 30,
1996 for  personnel  that have been  terminated  or will be terminated in future
periods.  Of the total $9.2 million  charge,  $5.2 million has been  incurred at
September 30, 1996. The remaining accrual of $4.0 million primarily  consists of
employee  severance costs which relate to the planned reduction of 86 employees,
of which 54 employees have been terminated at September 30, 1996.

         The  nonrecurring  charge for the integration and  restructuring of the
Maxion  Agricultural  Equipment  Business  included  costs  associated  with the
rationalization of manufacturing,  sales, and administrative functions. The $3.7
million  recorded for the three months ended  September  30, 1996  included $2.3
million for employee related costs,  including severance costs, and $1.4 million
for other nonrecurring  costs.  Included in the $2.3 million of employee related
costs was $1.0 million of payroll costs incurred through  September 30, 1996 for
personnel that have been terminated or will be terminated in future periods.  Of
the total $3.7 million charge,  $2.5 million has been incurred through September
30,  1996,  with the  remaining  accrual of $1.2  million  primarily  related to
employee severance. The employee severance costs relate to the planned reduction
of 260 employees,  of which 180 employees have been  terminated at September 30,
1996.

         The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 included a charge for nonrecurring  expenses of $0.9 million,  or $0.01
per common share on a fully diluted basis, and $4.6 million, or $0.05 per common
share  on a fully  diluted  basis,  respectively,  which  was a  portion  of the
Company's  $19.5 million  charge  recorded  through  December 31, 1995 primarily
related to the initial  integration and restructuring of the European operations
related to the Massey  Acquisition.  The nonrecurring charge for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1995 included $3.0 million for employee  severance and $1.6
million for certain data processing  expenses.  All of the costs associated with
the $19.5 million charge recorded through December 31, 1995 have been incurred.

</TABLE>

         In March  1996,  the  Company  issued  $250.0  million of 8 1/2% Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") at 99.139% of their principal amount.
The Notes are  unsecured  obligations  of the Company and are  redeemable at the
option of the  Company,  in whole or in part,  at any time on or after March 15,
2001  initially at 104.25% of their  principal  amount,  plus accrued  interest,
declining ratably to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest, on or
after March 15, 2003. The Notes include certain covenants,  including  covenants
restricting the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain restrictive
payments,  including dividends. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were
used to repay  outstanding  indebtedness  under  the  Company's  $550.0  million
secured revolving credit facility.

         In  March  1996,  the  Company  replaced  its  $550.0  million  secured
revolving  credit facility (the "Old Credit  Facility") with a five-year  $650.0
million  unsecured  credit  facility  (the  "New  Credit  Facility").  Aggregate
borrowings  outstanding under the New Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing
base  limitation  and  may not at any  time  exceed  the sum of 90% of  eligible
accounts  receivable  and 60% of  eligible  inventory.  Interest  will accrue on
borrowings  outstanding under the New Credit Facility primarily at LIBOR plus an
applicable  margin,  as  defined.  The  New  Credit  Facility  contains  certain
covenants,  including  covenants  restricting the incurrence of indebtedness and
the making of certain restrictive  payments,  including dividends.  In addition,
the Company must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, a
debt to capitalization  ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a ratio of debt to
cash flow, as defined.  As of September 30, 1996,  approximately  $436.3 million
was  outstanding  under the New Credit  Facility and available  borrowings  were
approximately $210.5 million.

5.       EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

         During the first quarter of 1996, as part of the refinancing of the Old
Credit  Facility  with  the  New  Credit  Facility,   the  Company  recorded  an
extraordinary  loss of $3.5  million,  net of  taxes  of $2.2  million,  for the
write-off of unamortized debt costs related to the Old Credit Facility.

6.       CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

         In June 1995, the Company  exchanged all of its  outstanding  2,674,534
depositary shares (the "Exchange"),  each representing 1/10 of a share of $16.25
Cumulative  Convertible  Exchangeable  Preferred Stock (the "Preferred  Stock"),
into $66.8 million of its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2008 (the
"Convertible Subordinated Debentures").  The effect of this transaction resulted
in a reduction to  stockholders'  equity and an increase to  liabilities  in the
amount  of  $66.8  million.   The  Convertible   Subordinated   Debentures  were
convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's
common  stock at a  conversion  rate of 157.85  shares of common  stock for each
$1,000  principal  amount of the  debentures.  In addition,  on or after June 1,
1996, the Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures were redeemable at the option of
the Company  initially at an amount equivalent to $1,045.50 per $1,000 principal
amount  of the  debentures  and  thereafter  at  prices  declining  to an amount
equivalent to the face amount of the  debentures on or after June 1, 2003,  plus
all accrued and unpaid interest.

         In April 1996,  the Company  announced its election,  effective June 1,
1996,  to redeem all of its  outstanding  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures.
Prior to the execution of the  redemption,  all of the  outstanding  Convertible
Subordinated  Debentures  were converted  into common stock.  Since December 31,
1995,  $37.6 million of outstanding  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures  were
converted into approximately 5,920,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

7.       NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

         Primary net income per common  share is computed by dividing net income
available for common  stockholders  (net income less  preferred  stock  dividend
requirements)  by the weighted  average  number of common and common  equivalent
shares outstanding  during each period.  Common equivalent shares include shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding  stock options.  Fully diluted
net  income  per  common  share  assumes  (i)  conversion  of  the   Convertible
Subordinated Debentures into common stock after the Exchange and the elimination
of interest expense related to the Convertible Subordinated  Debentures,  net of
applicable  income taxes and (ii) the  conversion  of the  Preferred  Stock into
common stock and the  elimination of the preferred  stock dividend  requirements
prior to the Exchange.

8.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories consist primarily of farm tractors,  combines,  implements,
hay and forage  equipment  and service parts and are valued at the lower of cost
or market.  Cost is determined  on a first-in,  first-out  basis.  Market is net
realizable  value for finished goods and repair and replacement  parts. For work
in process, production parts and raw materials, market is replacement cost.

9.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         Effective  November 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with
De Lage Landen  International,  B.V., a wholly owned  subsidiary of Cooperatieve
Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank  B.A., "Rabobank Nederland" (together,  "Rabobank") to
be its joint  venture  partner  in  Agricredit,  the  Company's  retail  finance
subsidiary in North America (the "Agricredit Joint Venture"). As a result of the
agreement,  the Company  sold a 51%  interest in  Agricredit  to  Rabobank.  The
Company  received  total  consideration  of  approximately  $44.3 million in the
transaction.  Under  the  Agricredit  Joint  Venture,  Rabobank  will have a 51%
interest in Agricredit and the Company will retain a 49% interest in the finance
company.  Substantially  all of the net assets of Agricredit were transferred to
the  Agricredit  Joint Venture.  The Agricredit  Joint Venture will continue the
current business of Agricredit and seek to build a broader  asset-based  finance
business.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         The  Company's  operations  are subject to the  cyclical  nature of the
agricultural  industry.  Sales of the Company's  equipment have been affected by
changes in net cash farm  income,  farm land  values,  weather  conditions,  the
demand  for  agricultural  commodities  and  general  economic  conditions.  The
Company's  operations  are  expected  to be  subject to such  conditions  in the
future.  Sales are recorded by the Company when equipment and replacement  parts
are shipped by the Company to its independent  dealers.  To the extent possible,
the Company  attempts to ship products on a level basis  throughout  the year to
reduce the effect of seasonal  demands on its  manufacturing  operations  and to
minimize  its  investment  in  inventory.  Retail  sales by  dealers  to farmers
("settlements")  are highly  seasonal  and are a  function  of the timing of the
planting  and  harvesting  seasons.  As a result,  the  Company's  net sales and
operating  results have  historically  been the lowest in the first  quarter and
have increased in subsequent quarters.

         Effective  June 28,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  certain  assets and
liabilities  of  the   agricultural   and  industrial   equipment   business  of
Iochpe-Maxion  S.A.  (the  "Maxion  Acquisition").  As a  result  of the  Maxion
Acquisition, the Company expanded its product offerings and the geographic scope
of its  distribution  network to include Brazil.  See Note 2 of the Notes to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         NET INCOME

     The Company  recorded net income for the three months ended  September  30,
1996 of $31.3  million  compared  to $36.2  million for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1995.  Net income per common share on a fully  diluted  basis was
$0.54  and  $0.65  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $85.9
million  compared to $95.5  million for the same period in 1995.  Net income per
common  share on a fully  diluted  basis was $1.51 and $1.71 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Net income for the three and
nine months ended  September  30, 1996  included  nonrecurring  expenses of $6.2
million,  or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted  basis,  and $12.9  million,  or
$0.15 per share on a fully diluted basis,  respectively,  related to the further
restructuring of the Company's  European  operations,  which was acquired in the
Massey  Acquisition in June 1994, and the integration and  restructuring  of the
Maxion  Agricultural  Equipment  Business,  which was acquired in June 1996 (see
"Charges  for  Nonrecurring  Expenses").  In  addition,  net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 included an  extraordinary  after-tax  charge of
$3.5 million,  or $0.06 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the write-off of
unamortized  debt  costs  related to the  refinancing  of the  revolving  credit
facility for the Company's  Equipment  Operations  (see  "Liquidity  and Capital
Resources").  Net income for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1995
included  nonrecurring  expenses of $0.9 million,  or $0.01 per share on a fully
diluted  basis,  and $4.6 million,  or $0.05 per share on a fully diluted basis,
respectively,  related to the Massey  Acquisition (see "Charges for Nonrecurring
Expenses").  The  Company's  results were  negatively  impacted by losses in the
newly acquired Brazilian  operations as a result of the poor industry conditions
currently  experienced  in the  region.  Excluding  nonrecurring  expenses,  the
extraordinary after-tax charge and the impact of the Brazilian
                                       12

operations,  the Company's results were slightly  improved over 1995,  primarily
the result of sales growth in existing markets.

         RETAIL SALES

         Conditions  in the United  States and Canadian  agricultural  equipment
markets continue to be favorable in 1996 compared to 1995.  Industry unit retail
sales of tractors for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996  increased  6.4%
over the same period in 1995,  while unit retail  sales of combines  and hay and
forage equipment  decreased 1.6% and 3.8%,  respectively,  compared to the prior
year. The Company believes general market conditions continue to be positive due
to favorable economic conditions relating to high net cash farm incomes,  strong
commodity prices and increased export demand.  The industry combine retail sales
were partly impacted by dry weather conditions in the South and Southwest United
States and a late  planting  season  resulting in a late harvest in the Midwest.
Industry  retail  sales of hay and  forage  equipment  were below the prior year
primarily  due to a softness in the cattle market  resulting  from low commodity
prices.

         Company unit  settlements  of tractors in the United  States and Canada
increased in line with the industry for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to 1995. The increase in tractor  settlements  was  attributable to the
favorable  industry  conditions as well as the impact of the Company's  expanded
dealer network,  which resulted  primarily from dealers  entering into crossover
contracts  whereby an  existing  dealer  carrying  one of the  Company's  brands
contracts to sell an additional AGCO brand. In addition,  the Company  continues
to benefit from the successful acceptance of improved tractor product offerings,
including the new Massey Ferguson high horsepower tractors which were introduced
in  the  middle  of  1995.   Company  unit  settlements  of  combines  increased
significantly  compared  to the prior year due to  increased  sales to  contract
harvesters.  Company unit settlements of hay and forage equipment were below the
prior  year and  slightly  below  the  industry  decrease  primarily  due to the
unfavorable  industry  conditions  and the  Company  choosing  not to match  the
aggressive retail financing  programs of its major competitors  during the first
quarter of 1996.

         Industry  conditions in Western  Europe  continue to be favorable  with
retail sales of tractors increasing approximately 8.8% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996  compared to the prior year  primarily due to higher net cash
farm incomes,  improved economic conditions,  increased export demand and strong
commodity  prices.   Retail  sales  of  Massey  Ferguson  tractors  continue  to
outperform the industry compared to 1995 with the most significant  increases in
France,  Spain and Scandinavia due to the Company's focus on dealer development.
Outside North America and Western Europe, industry retail sales of tractors also
showed  gains in many  markets  where  the  Company  competes  due to a  general
improvement in economic  conditions.  Retail sales of Massey  Ferguson  tractors
increased compared to 1995 particularly in the Middle East, Africa and Australia
primarily due to the Company's  strong  distribution  channels in these markets.
Industry  conditions  in Brazil  remain  depressed in 1996  relative to historic
volumes  following the  suspension  and  subsequent  reinstatement  of Brazilian
Central Bank loan programs.

REVENUES

         Total  revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 were
$606.5  million,  representing an increase of $107.9 million or 21.6% over total
revenues of $498.6  million for the same period in 1995.  Total revenues for the
nine months  ended  September  30,  1996  increased  10.0% to  $1,678.8  million
compared to $1,526.6 million for 1995. A significant  portion of the increase is
the  result of the  Company's  sales of $48.1  million  in Brazil  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 resulting from the Maxion Acquisition. Excluding
sales in Brazil,  the Company achieved net sales increases in its  international
operations  of $25.2  million  and $85.2  million  for the three and nine months
ended  September  30,  1996,  respectively,  compared  to the  prior  year.  The
increases for both periods  primarily related to increased sales of tractors due
to the Company's  favorable  retail sales  performance  and  increased  sales of
non-tractor  products resulting from the Company's efforts to expand non-tractor
sales in international markets. The Company also experienced increased net sales
of $31.4 million and $7.7 million for the three and nine months ended  September
30,  1996,  respectively,  compared  to the  prior  year in its  North  American
operations  primarily  due to the Company's  strong retail sales in 1996.  Total
revenues  also  increased  from the prior  periods due to  increases  in finance
income of $3.2  million and $11.2  million  for the three and nine months  ended
September 30, 1996, respectively,  associated with the operations of Agricredit.
The increase in finance  income was primarily due to the growth in  Agricredit's
credit receivable  portfolio as a result of Agricredit's  continued  penetration
into the Company's North American dealer network.

         COSTS AND EXPENSES

         Cost of goods sold of the Company's Equipment  Operations for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 was $465.3 million (79.0% of net sales) compared
to $371.4  million  (76.7% of net  sales) for the same  period in 1995.  For the
first nine months of 1996, cost of goods sold was $1,294.4 million (79.5% of net
sales) compared to $1,162.9 million (78.2% of net sales). Gross profit,  defined
as net sales less cost of goods sold,  was $123.5  million  (21.0% of net sales)
for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 as compared to $112.8  million
(23.3% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year. Gross profit for the
first nine months of 1996 was $333.1 million (20.5% of net sales) as compared to
$323.4 million (21.8% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year. Gross
margins were  negatively  impacted for both periods by the following:  (1) lower
margins related to its Brazilian  operations  acquired in the Maxion Acquisition
and (2) a change in the mix of products sold, particularly due to a reduction in
high margin North  American  parts sales,  a shift in North  American sales from
higher  margin  utility  tractors  (under  100  horsepower)  to high  horsepower
tractors (over 100 horsepower) and increased sales of combines in Europe,  which
have lower margins.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 were $59.5 million (9.8% of total revenues) compared to $47.6
million (9.5% of total  revenues)  for the same period last year.  For the first
nine months of 1996,  selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $161.0
million  (9.6% of total  revenues)  compared  to $146.5  million  (9.6% of total
revenues)  for the same period in 1995.  The  increase  in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses for both the three and nine months ended  September 30,
1996 was  primarily  due to an increase  in sales  volume and an increase in the
amortization  of  stock-based  compensation  expense of $3.2  million  and $11.2
million,  respectively,  over the prior year related to the Company's  long-term
incentive plan which is tied to stock price appreciation. Excluding

                                       14

<PAGE>



Agricredit and the amortization expense related to the long-term incentive plan,
the  Company's  Equipment  Operations  had selling,  general and  administrative
expenses of $49.9  million  (8.5% of net sales) and $41.1  million  (8.5% of net
sales) for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For
the first nine  months of 1996 and 1995,  the  Company's  Equipment  Operations,
excluding  Agricredit  and the  amortization  expense  related to the  long-term
incentive  plan,  had  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses of $134.4
million   (8.3%  of  net  sales)  and  $130.0   million  (8.7%  of  net  sales),
respectively.  The  decrease  as a  percentage  of net sales for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1996 was primarily due to the  successful  cost  reduction
efforts in the Company's European operations.

         Engineering  expenses for the Company's Equipment  Operations were $7.1
million  (1.2% of net sales)  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996
compared  to $7.0  million  (1.5% of net  sales)  for the same  period  in 1995.
Engineering  expenses  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 were $20.8
million  (1.3% of net sales) and $18.6  million (1.3% of net sales) for the same
period in the prior  year.  The  decrease as a  percentage  of net sales for the
three months ended  September  30, 1996 compared to the prior year was primarily
due to the timing of engineering  expenses  related to the  development of a new
Massey Ferguson utility tractor line.

         Interest  expense,  net was $20.2  million for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1996  compared to $16.3  million for the same period in the prior
year.  Interest  expense,  net for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 was
$51.7  million  compared to $48.1  million for the same period in 1995.  For the
three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had higher interest  expense,
net  compared to 1995 in its  Equipment  Operations  resulting  from  additional
borrowings related to the Maxion Acquisition and increased interest expense, net
relating to Agricredit  due to the  additional  borrowings  associated  with the
increase in the credit receivable portfolio. For the nine months ended September
30,  1996,  the  Company  also had higher  interest  expense,  net  relating  to
Agricredit  which was  slightly  offset by lower  interest  expense,  net in its
Equipment  Operations  compared to 1995 resulting from increased interest income
related to dealer accounts receivable.

         Other  expense,  net was  $4.3  million  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1996  compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 1995.  Other
expense,  net was $8.0  million for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1996
compared  to $5.3  million for the same  period in 1995.  The  increase in other
expense,  net for both periods was primarily due to foreign  exchange  losses in
1996  compared  to  foreign  exchange  gains in 1995  related to the sale of the
Company's  products  internationally  and increased  amortization of intangibles
related to the Maxion Acquisition.

         Nonrecurring expenses were $6.2 million and $12.9 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996,  respectively.  Nonrecurring  expenses
were $0.9 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995, respectively.  The nonrecurring charge recorded in 1996 related to the
further  restructuring  of the  European  operations  which was  acquired in the
Massey  Acquisition in June 1994 and the  integration and  restructuring  of the
Brazilian  operations which was acquired in the Maxion Acquisition in June 1996.
The nonrecurring  charge recorded in 1995 primarily  related to costs associated
with the initial integration and restructuring of the European  operations.  See
"Charges for Nonrecurring Expenses" for further discussion.


                                       15

<PAGE>



         The Company  recorded  income tax provisions of $14.9 million and $18.5
million for the three months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.
For the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  the Company  recorded
income tax provisions of $45.6 million and $48.8 million, respectively. For both
periods, the Company paid income taxes at rates below statutory rates due to the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.  Due to the availability of net
operating loss  carryforwards  acquired in the Massey  Acquisition,  the Company
expects  to  continue  paying  taxes  at  effective  rates  substantially  below
statutory rates in the near future.

         Equity in net earnings of  unconsolidated  affiliates  was $2.2 million
and $1.6  million  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Equity in net  earnings  of  unconsolidated  affiliates  was $4.9
million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.   The  increase  in  equity  in  net  earnings  of  unconsolidated
affiliates  related to the Company's  pro-rata  share in net earnings of certain
equity investments in the European operations.

FINANCE COMPANY OPERATIONS

         Agricredit, the Company's wholly owned finance subsidiary, recorded net
income of $3.2 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  Agricredit recorded net income of $8.5 million and
$4.0  million  for  the  nine  months  ended   September   30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  Retail acceptances were approximately $281.8 million for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1996 and $242.4  million for the same period in the
prior year.  The increase was  primarily  the result of the strong retail demand
for the Company's  products  during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
Agricredit's  continued  penetration  in the  Company's  North  American  dealer
network.

     Effective  November 1, 1996, the Company formed a strategic alliance with a
subsidiary of Cooperatieve  Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank Nederland"
("Rabobank") as its joint venture partner in Agricredit (the  "Agricredit  Joint
Venture").  Under the Agricredit  Joint Venture,  Rabobank has a 51% interest in
Agricredit and the Company  retains a 49% interest in the finance  company.  The
Company received proceeds of approximately $44.3 million in the transaction. The
Agricredit  Joint Venture will continue the current  business of Agricredit  and
seek to build a broader  asset-based  finance business.  The Company's  benefits
from the transaction also include deleveraging the consolidated balance sheet by
approximately $550.0 million and the redeployment of approximately $44.3 million
of capital. The Company has similar joint venture arrangements with Rabobank and
its  affiliates  with  respect to its retail  finance  companies  located in the
United Kingdom, France and Germany.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's financing  requirements for its Equipment  Operations are
subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and dealer receivable
levels. In March 1996, the Company replaced its $550.0 million secured revolving
credit  facility (the "Old Credit  Facility")  with a five-year  $650.0  million
unsecured  revolving credit facility (the "New Credit  Facility") (see Note 4 of
the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  The New Credit
Facility  is the  Company's  primary  source  of  financing  for  its  Equipment
Operations  and  provides  increased  borrowing  capacity  over  the Old  Credit
Facility. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility may not exceed the sum of 90%
of eligible accounts  receivable and 60% of eligible  inventory.  As receivables
and inventories fluctuate, borrowings under the New Credit Facility fluctuate as
well. As of September 30, 1996,  approximately  $436.3  million was  outstanding
under the New Credit Facility and available borrowings

                                       16

<PAGE>



were approximately $210.5 million.

         In March  1996,  the  Company  issued  $250.0  million of 8 1/2% Senior
Subordinated  Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") at 99.139% of their principal  amount
(see Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).
The net  proceeds  from the sale of the  Notes  were  used to repay  outstanding
indebtedness  under the Old Credit Facility.  The sale of the Notes provided the
Company with  subordinated  capital and replaced a portion of its floating  rate
debt with longer term fixed rate debt.

         The  Company's  finance  subsidiary,  Agricredit,  obtains funds from a
$630.0 million  revolving  credit  agreement (the  "Agricredit  Revolving Credit
Agreement") to finance its credit  receivable  portfolio.  Borrowings  under the
Agricredit  Revolving  Credit  Agreement  are based on the amount and quality of
outstanding   credit  receivables  and  are  generally  issued  for  terms  with
maturities matching  anticipated credit receivable  liquidations.  As the credit
receivable  portfolio  fluctuates,  borrowings  under the  Agricredit  Revolving
Credit  Agreement  fluctuate as well.  As of September  30, 1996,  approximately
$550.2 million was outstanding  under the Agricredit  Revolving Credit Agreement
and available borrowings were approximately $73.5 million. Effective November 1,
1996, as a result of the  Agricredit  Joint Venture,  the  Agricredit  Revolving
Credit Agreement was replaced with a new credit agreement with Rabobank.

         In April 1996,  the Company  announced its election,  effective June 1,
1996, to redeem all of its outstanding 6.5% Convertible  Subordinated Debentures
due 2008 (the "Convertible Subordinated Debentures") (see Note 6 of the Notes to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  Prior to the execution of the
redemption,  all of the  outstanding  Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures were
converted  into  common  stock.  Since  December  31,  1995,  $37.6  million  of
outstanding   Convertible    Subordinated   Debentures   were   converted   into
approximately 5,920,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

         The Company's working capital requirements for its Equipment Operations
are seasonal,  with  investments in working  capital  typically  building in the
first and second quarters and then reducing in the third and fourth quarters. As
of September 30, 1996, the Company's Equipment  Operations had $813.9 million of
working  capital,  an increase of $152.4 million over working  capital of $661.5
million as of December 31, 1995.  The increase in working  capital was primarily
due to working  capital  acquired in the Maxion  Acquisition and normal seasonal
requirements, particularly in receivables and inventories.

         Cash flow  provided by operating  activities  was $43.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to cash flow used for operating
activities of $46.1 million for the same period last year.  The increase in cash
flow provided by operating  activities  was  primarily due to the  collection of
receivables in 1996 related to unusually high accounts  receivable levels in the
European  operations  at December  31, 1995 which  resulted  from  significantly
higher  sales in late 1995 than in late 1994 and due to the strong  retail sales
in North America  during the first nine months of 1996 which resulted in a lower
seasonal increase of dealer inventories compared to 1995.

         
                                       17

<PAGE>


Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1996 were $26.5 
million compared to $24.5  million  for the  same  period  in 1995.  The  
Company  anticipates  that additional  capital  expenditures  for the  remainder
of 1996 will  range  from approximately  $20.0  million to $25.0  million  and 
will  primarily  be used to support the development and enhancement of new and 
existing products.

         Agricredit's credit receivable  originations exceeded credit receivable
payments by $61.3  million for the nine months ended  September  30,  1996.  The
increase in Agricredit's  credit  receivable  portfolio will result in increased
finance  income in future  periods.  The  credit  receivable  originations  were
financed through  additional  borrowings  under the Agricredit  Revolving Credit
Agreement.

         In October  1996,  the Company's  board of directors  declared a common
stock dividend of $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 1996. The declaration
and payment of future  dividends will be at the sole  discretion of the board of
directors and will depend upon the Company's  results of  operations,  financial
condition,  cash  requirements,  future  prospects,  limitations  imposed by the
Company's  credit  facilities and other factors deemed relevant by the Company's
board of directors.

         The Company  believes that  available  borrowings  under the New Credit
Facility,  available cash and internally  generated  funds will be sufficient to
support its working capital,  capital expenditures and debt service requirements
for the foreseeable future.

         The  Company  from time to time  reviews  and will  continue  to review
acquisition  and joint venture  opportunities  as well as changes in the capital
markets. If the Company were to consummate a significant acquisition or elect to
take advantage of favorable  opportunities in the capital  markets,  the Company
may supplement  availability or revise the terms under its credit  facilities or
complete public or private offerings of equity or debt securities.

CHARGES FOR NONRECURRING EXPENSES

         The Company  identified  approximately  $12.0  million of  nonrecurring
expenses  related  to  the  further  restructuring  of  the  Company's  European
operations,  acquired  in June 1994 as a result of the Massey  Acquisition.  The
Company  recorded $9.2 million of  nonrecurring  expenses  during the first nine
months of 1996 to recognize a portion of these costs.  These costs are primarily
related to the  centralization  of certain  parts  warehousing,  administrative,
sales  and  marketing  functions  (see  Note 3 of  the  Notes  to the  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).  The Company expects to record the remaining
$2.8 million of nonrecurring  expenses in 1996 and to complete the restructuring
by mid-1997.  Savings from the further  restructuring of the European operations
are   expected  to  result   primarily   from  reduced   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  primarily relating to the Company's parts warehousing,
administrative,  sales and marketing functions.  

         The Company  identified  $5.0 million to $6.0  million of  nonrecurring
expenses related to the integration and restructuring of the Company's Brazilian
operations,  acquired  in June 1996 as a result of the Maxion  Acquisition.  The
Company recorded $3.7 million of nonrecurring  expenses during the third quarter
of 1996 to recognize a portion of these costs. These costs are primarily related
to the  rationalization  of manufacturing,  sales and  administrative  functions
designed to

                                       18

resize the operations to current sales and production volumes (see Note 3 of the
Notes to the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  Savings from the
integration and restructuring of the Brazilian operations are expected to result
primarily in reduced selling,  general and  administrative  expenses and product
cost  reductions.  The Company  expects to record the remaining  $1.8 million of
nonrecurring  expenses in 1996 and 1997 and to complete the integration by 1997.
While the Company believes that cost savings from its restructuring  plan can be
attained,  there can be no assurance  that all  objectives of the  restructuring
will be achieved.

         In the first nine  months of 1995,  the Company  recorded  nonrecurring
expenses of $4.6  million  which was a portion of the  Company's  $19.5  million
charge  recorded  through  December  31, 1995  primarily  related to the initial
integration and restructuring of the European operations.  These costs primarily
related to the  centralization and  rationalization of the European  operations'
administrative, sales, and marketing functions. All of the costs associated with
the $19.5 million charge recorded through December 31, 1995 have been incurred.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Certain information included in Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  constitute  forward  looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934.  Although the Company  believes  that the  expectations  reflected in such
forward looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that its expectations  will be achieved.  Additionally,  the Company's
financial  results are  sensitive  to  movement  in  interest  rates and foreign
currencies, as well as general economic conditions,  pricing and product actions
taken by  competitors,  production  disruptions  and  changes in  environmental,
international  trade and other laws which impact the way in which it conducts it
business.
