     The Company also makes accrual adjustments on a regular monthly basis for
     bonus and profit sharing expenses which are settled at year-end.  This
     allows for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
     presented.

(3)  Inventories

     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally on a last-in,
     first-out basis) or market.  The composition of inventories at March 31,
     1995, and December 31, 1994, is as follows:

     The category "All Other" includes production-related raw materials, parts
     and supplies, and work-in-process.  The Company's accounting system does
     not permit a further breakdown of this category of inventories.

     were $1,323,000 and $301,000, respectively.  Interest costs paid during the

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

     Net sales of $74.1 million for the latest three months were up 27 percent
from the prior year's $58.4 million on strong order gains in all product lines,
the carryover effect of acquisitions made during 1994, and relatively high
backlogs at the start of the year. Sales increased 27 percent in both North
America and overseas. A weaker dollar added $1.8 million to consolidated sales.

     Net earnings were $3.9 million, or 39 cents per share. This was 45 percent
higher than the $2.7 million, or 27 cents per share for last year's first
quarter. The increase resulted from higher sales combined with an improvement in
operating margin to 7.6 percent from 6.3 percent for the prior year's first
quarter. The margin improvement was primarily due to operating leverage on
strong sales gains in Floor Coatings and industrial equipment products in North
America.

STRONG OVERALL SALES GAIN

     We finished last year with relatively high backlogs and good order momentum
which has carried through first quarter at the consolidated level. Floor
Coatings sales were up nearly 40 percent and Commercial Equipment also showed
strong gains.

     Our recently introduced line of industrial walk-behind scrubbers has been
very well received by customers. Other industrial equipment products, especially
the newer models, are doing quite well in North America and, generally speaking,
internationally with the primary exceptions being Japan and several key European
countries.

1995 OUTLOOK:  PROFITABILITY IMPROVEMENT

     The weaker dollar is a positive development for us, but we are not
benefiting fully at this time because of foreign currency hedges at higher
exchange rates on a portion of our exports to Japan and Europe.

     Our primary profitability challenges for 1995 will be to improve results in
two areas, both of which were somewhat below expectations in the first quarter.
Commercial Equipment operating margin improved over first quarter last year on
strong sales gains, but not as much as expected due to somewhat higher
manufacturing costs. In Europe, we are dealing with the disruptive effects of a
strong guilder and weaker-than-expected orders in several direct-sales
countries.

     We anticipate steady profit improvement in both areas over the remainder of
1995. In the meantime, the other three-fifths of our business--floor coatings
and industrial equipment other than Europe and Japan--is performing quite well
and is expected to continue doing so. This combination should result in an
improvement in full-year profitability on record sales and earnings.

TENNANT AT A GLANCE

     Our vision is to work for a cleaner and safer world. That's why we are in
business. Clean work places and public places are safer and are more attractive
for both employees and customers. To be cleaner and safer is the mark of a
progressive company; to be cleaner and safer is the mark of an advanced country.
The world wants to be cleaner and safer.

     Our mission is to be the preeminent company in non-residential floor
maintenance equipment, floor coatings, and related offerings. That is what we
do.
     A second but equally important aspect of our mission is to create value for
our shareholders by providing an above-average total return. We expect to
accomplish this by achieving our long-term financial goals which call for 5%
real (inflation adjusted) sales growth and a 20% return on shareholders' equity.
     Tennant offers a broad array of products in the non-residential floor
maintenance industry:

- -    INDUSTRIAL FLOOR MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT (75% of 1994 SALES): Cleans surfaces
     with vehicle and heavy foot traffic such as factories, warehouses, stadiums
     and parking garages. Tennant is recognized as the world-leading
     manufacturer.

- -    COMMERCIAL FLOOR MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT (19% of 1994 SALES): Cleans surfaces
     with foot traffic such as office buildings, retail outlets and hospitals.
     Our newest and fastest growing business.

- -    FLOOR COATINGS (6% of 1994 SALES): Broad line of sealers, resurfacers, and
     urethane coatings including environmentally friendly Eco-Coatings-TM-. Now
     on faster growth track after undergoing several years of restructuring.

     The competitive strengths and growth strategies for each of the three
product lines are outlined in our 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.



PRODUCTS FOR A CLEANER AND SAFER WORLD

     Integrated solutions to help customers solve their floor care problems help
make Tennant...the first name in floor care. The large automotive parts
manufacturing plant shown in the photo is an example.

     A new power trowelable resurfacer was used to repair eroded areas in the
main aisles. A superior abrasion-resistant urethane, Eco-HTS-TM-, was used as a
top coat to extend the life of the resurfacer. An assortment of Tennant
equipment is used to maintain the facility. Sweeping is done with a
high-capacity Model 385 Rider Sweeper that cleans a 60-inch path. A
high-capacity scrubber, the Model 550, patrols the main aisles and handles
scrubbing chores. In addition, three highly maneuverable Model 186 Walk-Behind
Sweepers are used for cleaning in areas not accessible to large rider equipment.
