              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     (in millions, unless otherwise denoted)
                                 March 31, 1996


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements of Terex  Corporation  and  subsidiaries as of March 31, 1996 and for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been  prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information  and footnotes  required by generally
accepted accounting principles to be included in full year financial statements.
The accompanying  condensed  consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1995,
has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Terex
Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company").  All
material intercompany  balances,  transactions and profits have been eliminated.
The equity method is used to account for  investments in affiliates in which the
Company has an ownership interest between 20% and 50%. Investments in affiliates
in which the Company has an  ownership  interest of less than 20% are  accounted
for on the  cost  method  or at fair  value  in  accordance  with  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  115,  "Accounting  for  Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."

In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair
presentation have been made. Such adjustments  consist only of those of a normal
recurring  nature.  Certain 1995 amounts have been  reclassified to conform with
the 1996  presentation.  Operating  results for the three months ended March 31,
1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year  ending  December  31,  1996.  For  further   information,   refer  to  the
consolidated   financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  included  in  the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Less: Accumulated depreciation ..      (54.4)    (52.6)
Net property, plant and equipment   $   95.3  $  101.3


NOTE D -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties  including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  management  does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
effect on the  Company.  When it is probable  that a loss has been  incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to
such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the
minimum  amount of a range of estimates  when it is not possible to estimate the
amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state,  local and foreign  environmental  laws and  regulations,  including  the
Comprehensive  Environmental Response,  Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern  activities or operations  that may have adverse  environmental  effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal  practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous  wastes,  and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning  up, and  certain  damages  resulting  from,  sites of past  spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance with such laws
and  regulations  has,  and  will,  require  expenditures  by the  Company  on a
continuing basis.

The Internal  Revenue Service is currently  examining the Company's  federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company  received
an examination  report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based
on this  examination.  The  examination  report  raises  a  variety  of  issues,
including the Company's  substantiation for certain deductions taken during this
period,  the  Company's  utilization  of certain net operating  loss  carryovers
("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future taxable income. If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be  approximately  $56 plus  interest  and  penalties.  If the
Company were required to pay a significant  portion of the assessment,  it could
have a material  adverse  impact on the Company and could  exceed the  Company's
resources.  The Company has filed its  administrative  appeal to the examination
report.  Although  management  believes that the Company will be able to provide
adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions questioned by
the IRS and that there is substantial  support for the Company's past and future
utilization of the NOL's,  the ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the
resolution of significant legal and factual issues.  If the Company's  positions
prevail on the most significant issues, management believes that the amounts due
would not exceed amounts previously paid or provided;  however,  even under such
circumstances,  it is possible that the Company's NOL's could be reduced to some
extent. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due
as a result of this  matter  because the  possible  loss ranges from zero to $56
plus  interest  and  penalties  and the  ultimate  outcome  cannot  presently be
determined or estimated.  If a change in control for tax purposes were to occur,
such a change in control could possibly result in a significant reduction in the
amount of NOL's available to the Company to offset future taxable income.

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

Results of Operations

The Company  operates  in three  industry  segments:  Material  Handling,  Terex
Trucks,  and Terex Cranes. The Terex Cranes segment results for periods prior to
May 1995  consist  solely of  Koehring's  operations.  Beginning  with the first
quarter of 1996, the former heavy equipment segment, which consists of the Terex
business and Unit Rig division, referred to as Terex Trucks.


Quarter Ended March 31, 1995

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, engineering, selling
and administrative expenses, and income (loss) from operations,  by segment, for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

     Net Sales

Sales increased $67.8 million,  or approximately  32%, to $282.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 over the  comparable  1995 period,  reflecting
the  acquisition  of PPM Cranes in the second quarter of 1995 and a strong sales
quarter for Terex Cranes overall,  increased revenue at Terex Trucks,  partially
offset  by an  expected  slowdown  in  machine  sales at the  Material  Handling
Segment.

Material  Handling  Segment sales were $108.8 million for the three months ended
March 31,  1996,  a decrease of $25.2  million  from $134.0  million in the year
earlier period.  The sales mix was  approximately  23% parts in the three months
ended March 31, 1996  compared to 17% in the  comparable  1995  period.  Machine
sales decreased 26% and parts sales, from which the Company  generally  realizes
significantly higher margins than machine sales, increased 9%.

Material  Handling  Segment  bookings  for the three months ended March 31, 1996
were $114.5 million, a decrease of $25.5 million,  or 18%, from the year earlier
period.  Bookings  for parts  sales for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996
increased 6% from the year earlier period.  Machine order bookings for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 decreased 24% from the year earlier period. Material
Handling  Segment backlog was $85.1 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $141.9
million at March 31,  1995.  The  decrease  in machine  sales and  bookings  was
anticipated and tracked trends in the material handling industry as set forth in
independent  publications which report on the industry. The Company adjusted its
production schedule and material  procurement in anticipation of the slowdown in
machine sales.  The slowdown is not anticipated to have an adverse effect on the
profitability of the material handling segment for 1996.

Terex Trucks sales  increased $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996 from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Machines sales  increased 31%,
and parts sales increased 4%. The sales mix was  approximately 32% parts for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 38% parts for the comparable  1995
period.

Terex  Trucks  bookings  for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 were $48.8
million,  an increase of $7.9  million,  or 19%,  from the year earlier  period.
Bookings  for parts  sales,  from which the Company  generally  realizes  higher
margins than machine  sales,  decreased $4.0 million from the three months ended
March 31,  1995.  Machine  bookings  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996
increased  $11.9  million  from the  comparable  1995 period  reflecting  higher
international  orders.  Backlog was $86.5  million at March 31, 1996 compared to
$88.8 million at December 31, 1995 and $51.4 million at March 31, 1995.

Terex  Cranes  sales were $102.5  million for the three  months  ended March 31,
1996, an increase of $79.3 million from $23.2 million in the year earlier period
which did not include the PPM business.  Terex Cranes  backlog was $59.8 million
at March 31, 1996,  reflecting the additional PPM backlog acquired,  compared to
$12.8  million at March 31,  1995.  The  increase in cranes sales was due to the
addition of the PPM business, growth in sales at the PPM business, and continued
strong performance by Koehring.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1996  increased  $11.6 million
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995.

The Material  Handling  Segment's  gross  profit of $11.3  million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996,  an increase of $0.2 million from $11.1 million for
the prior year's period.  The gross profit  percentage in the Material  Handling
Segment  was 10% for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 and 8.3% for the
comparable 1995 period. The increase in profit was due to higher parts sales and
therefore margins coupled with improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Terex Trucks' gross profit  increased $0.4 million to $9.1 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to $8.7 million for the  comparable  1995
period. The gross profit percentage in the Terex Trucks decreased to 13% for the
three  months ended March 31, 1996 from 15% for the three months ended March 31,
1995,  primarily  due to the negative  impact on Unit Rig of the  inability of a
major  supplier to adhere to its delivery  schedule.  This  resulted in Unit Rig
having to shut down production for a period in March, with an estimated negative
profit  impact  of  $800  thousand,  due to lost  sales  volume  and  unabsorbed
overhead.  The Company  understands  that the supplier has corrected the problem
and it is not expected to recur.

Terex  Cranes'  gross profit  increased  $11.6  million to $14.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $3.3 million for the prior year's
period, reflecting the PPM Acquisition, the effect of cost reduction actions put
in place at PPM, and improved performance at Koehring.

     Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering,  selling and administrative expenses increased to $23.9 million for
the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 from $17.1  million for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, reflecting the effects of the PPM acquisition in May 1995.
Material Handling Segment  engineering,  selling and administrative  expenses to
$8.8 million for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 from $10.4  million for
the comparable 1995 period. Terex Trucks engineering, selling and administrative
expenses  increased  to $6.2  million for the three  months ended March 31, 1996
from  $5.4  million  for the  comparable  1995  period  primarily  due to  costs
associated with a new parts sales office and a new U.K. dealership. Terex Cranes
engineering,  selling and administrative  expenses increased to $8.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.5 million for the comparable  1995
period, reflecting the PPM acquisition in May 1995.

     Income (Loss) from Operations

Material  Handling  Segment income from operations of $2.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 represents a $1.8 million  improvement over the $0.7
million income in the comparable 1995 period. As discussed above,  reduced costs
contributed to the increase in income from operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

Terex Trucks  income from  operations  decreased by $0.4 million to $2.9 million
for the three months  ended March 31, 1996 from $3.3  million in the  comparable
1995 period, primarily due to the factors mentioned above under "Gross Profit".

Terex Cranes  income from  operations of $6.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996  increased  by $4.4  million  over the  comparable  1995  period,
primarily  due to the  effect of cost  control  initiatives  implemented  at PPM
during Terex's ownership of that business,  and continued strong  performance by
Koehring.

On a consolidated  basis,  the Company had operating income of $10.8 million for
the three  months ended March 31,  1996,  compared to  operating  income of $6.0
million for the comparable 1995 period, for the reasons mentioned above.

     Other Income (Expense)

Net interest expense increased to $11.4 million for the three months ended March
31,  1996  from  $6.7  million  in the  comparable  1995  period  as a result of
incremental  borrowings  associated  with the PPM  acquisition  in May 1995. The
Company realized a gain in the three months ended March 31, 1996 of $2.4 million
from the sale of excess property in Scotland. In 1995, the Company had a gain of
$1.0 million from the sale of Fruehauf stock.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's  businesses are working capital  intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories,  capital expenditures
for  repair,  replacement  and  upgrading  of  existing  facilities  as  well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service requirements including semi-annual interest payments on senior debt
and monthly  interest  payments on its credit  facility.  Debt  reduction and an
improved  capital  structure  are major focal  points for the  Company.  In this
regard,  the Company  regularly  reviews its alternatives to improve its capital
structure and to reduce debt through debt financings, issuance of equity, assets
sales,  including  the  sale of  business  units,  or any  combination  thereof.
Currently,  the  Company  has  focused  its  attention  on the  sale of  assets,
including  business  units,  and has taken  steps to explore  the  opportunities
available to it in this regard. It is the Company's  intention that certain such
assets be sold during 1996,  provided that favorable terms and conditions can be
attained.

Net cash of $2.8  million  was used in  operating  activities  during  the three
months ended March 31, 1996. Net cash provided by investing  activities was $1.6
million during the three months ended March 31, 1996 principally due to the sale
of excess property.  Net cash provided by financing  activities during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was $5.2 million,  primarily from use of the lending
facility in the U.K.  Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled $12.7 million at March
31, 1996.

The balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 1996 was $65.7
million,  and the  additional  amount the Company  could have borrowed was $21.3
million as of that date. TEL entered into a new bank working capital facility in
1995, and PPM Europe is in negotiations to secure a working capital  facility in
1996. Management intends to seek additional working capital financing facilities
for the  Company's  international  operations  to provide  additional  liquidity
worldwide.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Internal  Revenue Service is currently  examining the Company's  federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company  received
an examination  report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based
on this  examination.  The  examination  report  raises  a  variety  of  issues,
including the Company's  substantiation for certain deductions taken during this
period,  the  Company's  utilization  of certain net operating  loss  carryovers
("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future taxable income. If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be approximately  $56 million plus interest and penalties.  If
the Company were required to pay a  significant  portion of the  assessment,  it
could  have a  material  adverse  impact on the  Company  and could  exceed  the
Company's  resources.  The  Company has filed its  administrative  appeal to the
examination  report.  Although management believes that the Company will be able
to provide adequate  documentation  for a substantial  portion of the deductions
questioned  by the IRS and that there is  substantial  support for the Company's
past and future utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this matter is
subject to the  resolution  of  significant  legal and  factual  issues.  If the
Company's positions prevail on the most significant issues,  management believes
that the  amounts  due would not exceed  amounts  previously  paid or  provided;
however, even under such circumstances,  it is possible that the Company's NOL's
could be reduced to some extent.  No additional  accruals have been made for any
amounts which might be due as a result of this matter  because the possible loss
ranges from zero to $56 million  plus  interest and  penalties  and the ultimate
outcome cannot presently be determined or estimated.  A change in control of the
Company for tax purposes could possibly result in a significant reduction in the
amount of NOL's available to the Company to offset future taxable income.

The  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  in March of 1994
initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of its
affiliates,  to determine  whether  violations of certain aspects of the Federal
securities laws have taken place. The Company is cooperating with the Commission
in its  investigation  and it is not  possible  at this  time to  determine  the
outcome of the Commission's investigation.

The Company received a letter from the Department of Labor (the "DOL") in May of
1995,  alleging that the Company's  former  Chairman of the Board, at the time a
fiduciary for the Company's retirement plans, violated certain provisions of the
Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") in making
certain  investments  which may have been imprudent and by possibly  engaging in
prohibited  transactions under ERISA. The Company and its former Chairman of the
Board are currently in discussions  with the DOL concerning the  allegations and
it is not  possible  at this  time to  determine  the  outcome  of this  matter;
however,  the Company does not believe that the  resolution  of the  allegations
will have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties  including
product  liability  claims,  self-insurance  obligations,  tax  examinations and
guarantees.  Many  of the  exposures  are  unasserted  or  proceedings  are at a
preliminary  stage,  and it is not presently  possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the  Company.  However,  management  does not believe that
these  contingencies and uncertainties  will, in the aggregate,  have a material
effect on the  Company.  When it is probable  that a loss has been  incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to
such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the
minimum  amount of a range of estimates  when it is not possible to estimate the
amount within the range that is most likely to occur.

The Company generates  hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations.  As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state,  local and foreign  environmental  laws and  regulations,  including  the
Comprehensive  Environmental Response,  Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern  activities or operations  that may have adverse  environmental  effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal  practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous  wastes,  and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning  up, and  certain  damages  resulting  from,  sites of past  spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous  substances.  Compliance with such laws
and  regulations  has,  and  will,  require  expenditures  by the  Company  on a
continuing basis.

Item 5.       Other Information

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION.  

Forward  looking  information   included  in  this  report  involves  risks  and
uncertainties that could  significantly  impact expected results.  The Company's
expectations  are  predominantly   based  on  what  it  considers  key  economic
assumptions.  Construction  and mining activity are sensitive to interest rates,
government  spending  and  general  economic  conditions.   Some  of  the  other
significant   factors  for  the  Company  include  foreign  currency  movements,
political  uncertainty  in  various  areas  of  the  world,   pricing,   product
initiatives  and other actions taken by  competitors,  disruptions in production
capacity,   excess  inventory  levels,  the  effects  of  changes  in  laws  and
regulations, employee relations and other factors.
