                        Report of Independent Auditors



                    The Board of Directors and Shareholders
                     PPM S.A. and Legris Industries, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of PPM S.A. and Legris
Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related combined
statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company'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, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of
PPM S.A. and Legris Industries, Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Basis of Presentation

As more fully described in Note 13, Terex Corporation ("Terex"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc. ("Terex Cranes"), completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the common stock of PPM S.A. ("PPM Europe")
and Legris Industries, Inc. ("PPM North America") on May 9, 1995.  PPM North
America together with PPM Europe collectively are referred to as "PPM" or "the
Company".  Prior to the acquisition, Legris Industries, Inc. was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Groupe Legris Industries S.A., a French corporation, and PPM S.A.
was owned 99.13% by Potain S.A., a majority owned subsidiary of Groupe Legris
Industries S.A. ("Groupe Legris").

The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles and include the combined financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the businesses of PPM as
follows below (subsidiaries are 100% owned except as indicated).  All
significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

PPM S.A.
  -  Brimont Agraire S.A.
  -  Bendini SpA
  -  PPM Krane GmbH
  -  Baulift Baumaschiunen and Krane Handels GmbH

Legris Industries, Inc.
  -  Potain Tower Cranes, Inc. (inactive)
  -  PPM Cranes, Inc. (92.4%)
  -  PPM of Australia Pty. Ltd. (92.4%)
  -  PPM Far East Pte. Ltd. (92.4%)


Description of Business

PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers
primarily in North America and Western Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H
(trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand and overnight investments.  Included in cash and cash equivalents is
$512 at December 31, 1994 invested under repurchase agreements collateralized
by U. S. Treasury Notes.  Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by the Company's custodian bank until maturity of the
repurchase agreements.  Provisions of the agreements ensure that the market
value of this collateral is sufficient in the event of default; however, in the
event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization
and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business and performs
ongoing credit evaluation on certain of its customers' financial condition, but
generally does not require collateral to support such receivable.  Accounts
receivable potentially exposes the Company to concentration of credit risk,
because the Company's customers operate primarily in the construction industry.
The Company also establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends
and other information.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for inventories held in the United States,
by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventories of PPM of Australia
Pty. Ltd and PPM Far East Pte. Ltd., and by the weighted average method for
inventories of PPM S.A.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Additions and major replacements or improvements to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are
charged to expense when incurred. Assets of PPM are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.  

Intangible Assets

The excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired
("goodwill") is amortized on the straight-line method over a period of twenty
years for Legris Industries, Inc. and fifteen years for PPM S.A.  Other
identified intangibles are primarily patents and organizational costs which are
amortized over five years.  The lives established for these assets are a
composite of many factors; accordingly, the Company evaluates the continued
appropriateness of these lives based upon the latest available economic factors
and circumstances.

The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances
suggest that it may be impaired.  If this review indicates that goodwill will
not be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the
entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying
value of the goodwill is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.

Product Warranty

PPM warrants that each finished machine is merchantable and free of defects in
workmanship and material for a period of up to one year or a specified period
of use. Warranty reserves have been established for estimated normal warranty
costs and for specific problems known to exist on products in use.

Product Liability

Reserves for product liability have been established based upon historical loss
experience for the estimated liability on incidents which have occurred but
have not yet been reported and for the estimated liability for reported
incidents. 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("FAS 109O).  Under FAS 109, the deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets
and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes.  A valuation
allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of a deferred tax asset will not be ultimately realized.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded upon shipment or designation of specific goods for later
shipment at customers' request with related risk of ownership passing to such
customers.

Research and Development Costs

Company sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expensed currently. Total expenditures for research and
development for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $2,669, $3,751 and $3,440,
respectively.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The local currencies of the Company's foreign operations have been determined
to be the functional currencies in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation".  Transactions in
foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at average rates
of exchange prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the year end exchange rates and resulting
translation adjustments are included as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.  Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in
earnings.

Shareholders' Equity

No amounts were paid as consideration for the issuance of common stock of PPM
S.A. and Legris Industries, Inc.  Accordingly, no amounts have been assigned to
common stock in the financial statements.


3. Inventories

Inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consist of the following: 

                                               1994      1993

                                           $  70,020 $  63,498

At December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximately $26,308 and $24,618 of inventories
were valued using the LIFO method. These amounts are approximately equivalent
to the corresponding FIFO values at December 31, 1994 and 1993.


4. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consists of the
following:

respectively.

Debt at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consists of the following:

                                                                  1994     1993

Other than the note payable to Harnischfeger Corporation, all debt obligations
were satisfied in connection with the acquisition by Terex in May of 1995 (see
Note 13).  Accordingly, all debt obligations other than the long-term portion
of the note payable to Harnischfeger Corporation have been classified as
current.

The maturities of the note payable to the Harnischfeger Corporation for the
five years following December 31, 1994 and thereafter are as follows:

                     Year                   Payments

                      1995                  $   480

                                            $ 6,331


6. Employee Benefit Plan

Domestically, PPM Cranes, Inc. has a defined contribution plan covering its
U.S. employees. Under this plan, the Company matches a portion of an employee's
contribution to the plan.  PPM Europe also maintains government required fully
funded retirement plans for its employees in France and Italy.  For purposes of
these financial statements, all domestic and PPM Europe employees are
considered to have participated in a multi-employer pension plan as defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 "Employer's Accounting for
Pensions".  For multi-employer plans, employers are required to recognize as
net pension expense total contributions for the period.  With respect to these
plans, PPM recorded a net pension expense of $289 for 1994, $118 for 1993 and
$82 for 1992.


7. Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  The adoption had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.

(Loss) income before income taxes and minority interest consisted of the
following:

                                         1994       1993     1992

Domestic                             $ (7,346)  $ (11,179)  $ (4,269)
Foreign                               (12,351)    (15,430)   (14,091)

                                    $ (19,697) $  (26,609) $ (18,360)


Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

                                         1994       1993     1992

PPM has not provided U.S. and foreign income taxes on foreign undistributed
earnings which are being retained indefinitely for reinvestment.  The
distribution of these earnings would result in additional foreign withholding
taxes and additional U.S. Federal income taxes to the extent they are not
offset by foreign tax credits, but it is not practicable to estimate the total
tax liability that would be incurred upon such a distribution.

The income tax (benefit) provision at the effective tax rate differed from the
benefit at the statutory rate as follows:

                                         1994       1993     1992

Income tax (benefit) provision       $    (14)    $     30  $     917

At December 31, 1994, PPM North America has net operating loss carryforwards
for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $50,550 available to offset
future taxable income, expiring from 1997 to 2008 if not used.  PPM Europe has
loss carryforwards of approximately $21,665 at December 31, 1994, including
approximately $11,023 of carryforwards which have no fixed expiration date. 
The remaining carryforwards will expire beginning in 1995.

The differences between the loss carryforwards for financial reporting and
income tax purposes result principally from differences between the income tax
basis and the financial reporting basis allocated to the net assets acquired
and differences in the methods of depreciating property, plant, and equipment. 
For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance equal to the entire
benefit of the cumulative temporary differences and net operating loss
carryforwards has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets.  For
substantially all of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets,
subsequently recognized tax benefits will be allocated to reduce goodwill
resulting from the acquisition of PPM by Terex.  Components of the Company's
deferred taxes are as follows:

                                               1994     1993
                                                       

Total deferred tax liabilities             $ (3,030) $ (1,113)

Total deferred tax assets, principally
 net operating loss carryforwards             43,454    36,179

Total valuation allowance                   (40,424)  (35,066)

Net deferred taxes                         $     --- $     ---


8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has estimated the fair value amounts of financial instruments as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", using available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies.  The carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and
long-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value at December 31,
1994.  However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data
to develop the carrying amounts of fair value.  Accordingly, the carrying 
amounts presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that 
the Company would realize in a current market exchange.


9. Leases

PPM has various lease agreements, primarily related to office space, production
facilities, and office equipment, which are accounted for as operating leases.
Certain leases have renewal options and provisions requiring PPM to pay
maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Rent expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992
was $2,977, $2,433 and $3,401, respectively.

PPM Europe also leases buildings and machinery and equipment under capital
leases with terms of 1 to 10 years.  Capitalized lease obligations are
calculated using interest rates appropriate at the inception of the lease. 
Amortization of assets under capital leases is included with depreciation
expense.  Property, plant and equipment includes the following amounts for
leases that have been capitalized:


                                               1994     1993

Buildings                                  $   1,810 $   1,642
Machinery and equipment                        5,124     3,700

                                               6,934     5,342
Less accumulated depreciation                (3,030)   (1,603)

10. Commitments and Contingencies

PPM is involved in product liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation of its business. Insurance coverages are maintained for claims and
lawsuits of this nature.  At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had a
reserve of $4,850 and $4,432 related to product liability matters, including
$200 at December 31, 1994 related to unasserted claims.  Actual costs to be
incurred in the future may vary from the estimates, given the inherent
uncertainties in evaluating the outcome of claims and lawsuits of this nature. 
Although it is difficult to estimate the liability of the Company related to
these matters, it is management's opinion that none of these lawsuits will have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's combined financial position.

PPM North America is a defendant in a lawsuit initiated by the bankruptcy
trustee for Century II GmbH, a former subsidiary of the Company, related to an
increase in capital. The amount of the claim is for $6,000.  Groupe Legris has
indemnified the Company against all losses related to this claim.

PPM is contingently liable up to $1,027 with respect to financing arrangements
and performance guarantees entered into with banks and between certain banks
and certain dealers or customers of PPM.

13. Subsequent Events -- Acquisition by Terex and Financing Arrangements
(unaudited)

On May 9, 1995, Terex, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Terex Cranes,
completed the acquisition of 99.18% of the shares of PPM S.A., a societe
anonyme ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., a societe anonyme, and 100% of the
capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation which owns
92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PPM
North America") from Legris Industries S.A., a societe anonyme ("Legris
France").  PPM North America together with PPM Europe collectively are referred
to as "PPM".  PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container
stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe under the brand names of
PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI.

The purchase price, together with amounts needed to repay indebtedness of PPM
required to be repaid in connection with the Acquisition, consisted of (i)
approximately $92.6 million in cash and (ii) shares of Series A Redeemable
Exchangeable Preferred Stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation
preference of approximately $25.9 million, subject to adjustment (the "Seller
Preferred Stock").  The Seller Preferred Stock bears no dividend and is
mandatorily redeemable in seven years and three months from the date of
issuance.  The Seller Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time for cash (to
the extent permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture for Terex's 13
1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002) or, under certain circumstances for shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Cranes Common Stock"), of Terex
Cranes.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by reference to
the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined by an audit to be
conducted following the consummation of the Acquisition.  Terex Cranes has not
yet reached agreement with the sellers about the amount of purchase price
adjustment but, based on work performed, Terex Cranes believes that the amount
of the Seller Preferred Stock could ultimately be reduced.  In addition, the
liquidation preference and the redemption price of the Seller Preferred Stock
may be adjusted based upon the unit shipments of the mobile crane industry in
Western Europe during the second and third years following the consummation of
the Acquisition.

The funds for the cash portion of the purchase price and the repayment of debt
of the acquired businesses were obtained from the private placement on May 9,
1995 to institutional investors of units consisting of Terex's 13 1/4% Senior
Secured Notes due 2002 and common stock appreciation rights.  The Senior
Secured Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of Terex and its
domestic subsidiaries, including PPM North America, subject to security
interests granted under the Credit Facility as described below, and by liens 
on certain assets of Terex's foreign subsidiaries, including PPM Europe.

Simultaneously with the acquisition, Terex, PPM North America and certain other
domestic subsidiaries of Terex entered into a Credit Facility which provides
that the companies will be able to borrow (in the form of revolving loans and
up to $15 million in outstanding letters of credit) up to $100 million, subject
to borrowing base limitations.  The Credit Facility is secured by substantially
all of the companies domestic receivables and inventory (including PPM North
America).  The amount of borrowings is limited to the sum of the following: (i)
75% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as defined, of Terex's U.S.
businesses other than Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC") plus (ii) 70% of
the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus (iii) the lesser of 45% of
the value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised orderly
liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (iv) any availability reserves
established by the lenders.  The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998 unless
extended by the lenders for one additional year.  At the option of Terex,
revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans bearing interest at the
rate of l.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and eurodollar rate loans
bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted
eurodollar rate.

 
                               TEREX CORPORATION

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
of the Company gives effect to the acquisition of P.P.M. S.A. ("PPM Europe")
and Legris Industries, Inc. ("PPM North America," together with PPM Europe,
"PPM") by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Terex Cranes, Inc. ("Terex
Cranes") on May 9, 1995 (the "PPM Acquisition") as described in Item 2 of this
Form 8-K.  The pro forma information is based on the historical statements of
operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1994 and for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, giving effect to the PPM Acquisition and related
financing transactions and adjustments as reflected in the accompanying notes.

On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the PPM Acquisition.  The purchase price,
together with amounts needed to repay indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid
in connection with the PPM Acquisition, consisted of (i) approximately $92.6
million in cash and (ii) shares of Series A Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred
Stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation preference of
approximately $26.1 million, subject to adjustment calculated by reference to
the consolidated net asset value of PPM on the closing date of the PPM
Acquisition.  A private placement of $250 million of the Company's 13.25%
Senior Secured Notes due 2002 provided the financing for the cash portion of
the purchase price.  Proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes and of a new domestic
Credit Facility also provided funds for the refinancing of certain existing
Company debt (the "Refinancing"), for transaction and acquisition costs and for
working capital purposes.

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, with the purchase
price of the PPM Acquisition allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition.  The pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the
Company's initial estimates of the purchase price allocation. 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily
indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have
been for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.

                               TEREX CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1)  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is
presented for the year ended December 31, 1994 and the six months ended June
30, 1995.  The pro forma statements of operations reflect the consolidated
operations of the Company combined with those of the acquired business assuming
the PPM Acquisition and the Refinancing were consummated on January 1, 1994. 

2)  The pro forma statement of operations adjustments are summarized as
follows:

     a)  Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Cost of goods sold" represent
the elimination of goodwill amortization of the business acquired and the
amortization of goodwill resulting from the PPM Acquisition over 15 years. 

     b)  Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Interest expense" represent the
elimination of interest expense relating to debt repaid in connection with the
PPM Acquisition or forgiven by the seller.

     c)  Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Preferred stock accretion"
represent accretion on Terex Cranes redeemable preferred stock issued in the
PPM Acquisition, assuming issuance as of January 1, 1994.

     d)  The Refinancing provided the funds to finance the PPM Acquisition, as
well as funds to refinance certain existing Company debt and pay refinancing
and acquisition costs.  The new Senior Secured Notes bear interest at 13.25%
and are due May 15, 2002.  The Credit Facility loans bear interest at 1.75% in
excess of the prime rate or at 3.75% in excess of the adjusted eurodollar rate,
at the Company's option (interest rate of 11%, including fees, assumed for pro
forma presentation); the Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998.  The pro forma
adjustments to "Interest expense" and "Amortization of debt issuance costs"
represent the incremental effects of the Refinancing:
          -  The Company's old 13% senior secured notes and 13.5% senior
subordinated notes are assumed to be repaid as of January 1, 1994, and the
interest expense and related amortization of discount and issuance costs is
eliminated.
          -  The 13.25% new Senior Secured Notes are assumed to be issued and
registered as of January 1, 1994 and interest expense and related amortization
of discount and issuance costs is included.
          -  The incremental amount borrowed under the Credit Facility at the
time of the Refinancing is assumed to be outstanding from January 1, 1994 and
interest is included thereon.

3)  A pro forma condensed balance sheet is not presented herein because the 
PPM Acquisition is reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of June 30, 1995 filed on Form 10-Q.  The  estimated fair values of 
assets and liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition are summarized as
