                       TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997

                     (in millions, unless otherwise denoted)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of Terex  Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30,
1997 and for the three months and nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996
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, 1996,  has been derived from the
audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

As set forth in Note B below, the Company sold its worldwide  Material  Handling
business  ("CMHC") on November 27, 1996. CMHC is accounted for as a discontinued
operation.

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.

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.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September  30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996.


NOTE B -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The  Company  sold  CMHC  on  November  27,  1996.  The  accompanying  condensed
consolidated  statement of operations for the three months and nine months ended
September  30,  1996  includes  the  results  of CMHC  in  "Income  (Loss)  from
Discontinued  Operations."  Generally accepted accounting principles permit, but
do not require,  the  allocation  of interest  expense  between  continuing  and
discontinued  operations.  Because the methods allowed under generally  accepted
accounting  principles  for  calculating  interest  expense to be  allocated  to
discontinued  operations are not  necessarily  indicative of the use of proceeds
from the sale of CMHC by the Company,  and the effect on interest expense of the
continuing  operations  of the Company,  the Company has elected not to allocate
interest  expense to discontinued  operations.  The results of this election are
that loss from continuing operations includes  substantially all of the interest
expense of the Company, and income from discontinued operations does not include
any  material  interest  expense.  Summary  operating  results  of  discontinued
operations are as follows:

NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS

On  April  7,  1997,  the  Company  completed  the  purchase  of the  industrial
businesses of Simon Access division  ("Simon  Access") of Simon  Engineering plc
for $90 in cash, subject to adjustment.

Simon Access consists principally of several business units in the United States
and Europe  which are engaged in the  manufacture  and sale of access  equipment
designed to position  people and  materials  to work at  heights.  Simon  Access
products  include truck mounted aerial devices,  aerial work platforms and truck
mounted  cranes (boom trucks) which are sold to utility  companies as well as to
customers in the industrial and construction markets.  Specifically, the Company
acquired 100% of the outstanding  common stock of (i)  Simon-Telelect  Inc. (now
named Terex-Telelect,  Inc.), a Delaware  corporation,  (ii) Simon Aerials, Inc.
(now named  Terex  Aerials,  Inc.),  a  Wisconsin  corporation,  (iii)  Sim-Tech
Management  Limited,  a private limited company  incorporated  under the laws of
Hong Kong, (iv) Simon-Cella,  S.r.l., a company  incorporated  under the laws of
Italy, and (v) Simon Aerials Limited,  a company  incorporated under the laws of
Ireland;  and 60% of the  outstanding  common stock of  Simon-Tomen  Engineering
Company Limited,  a limited  liability stock company organized under the laws of
Japan. Not included in the businesses  acquired were Simon Access' fire fighting
equipment  business.  The Company  obtained the funds  necessary to complete the
transaction  from its cash on hand and borrowings  under a new revolving  credit
facility (see description below).

Also on April 7, 1997,  the  Company and  certain of its  domestic  subsidiaries
(collectively,  the  "Borrowers")  entered a Revolving  Credit  Agreement with a
financial institution,  as agent (the "Agent"),  pursuant to which the Agent and
other  financial  institutions  party thereto have provided the Borrowers with a
line of credit of up to $125 secured by accounts  receivable  and inventory (the
"New Credit  Facility").  The New Credit  Facility  replaced the Company's  $100
revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility"). The Company paid a fee of
$2.0  upon  termination  of the  Old  Credit  Facility.  Additionally,  $0.6  of
unamortized  debt  acquisition  costs  related to the Old Credit  Facility  were
written off at the  termination of the Old Credit  Facility.  These expenses are
reflected as extraordinary items in the second quarter of 1997.

Loans  made  under  the New  Credit  Facility  (a) bear  interest,  based on the
Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, at a rate between 0.5% and 1.5% per annum
in  excess  of the prime  rate or at a rate  between  2.0% and 3.0% per annum in
excess of the  eurodollar  rate,  at the election of the Company,  (b) mature on
April 7, 2000, (c) were used by the Borrowers to repay the Old Credit  Facility,
and (d) are to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions.

On April 14, 1997 the Company  completed the purchase of Baraga Products,  Inc.
and M&M  Enterprises of Baraga,  Inc.  (collectively,  "Baraga",  or the "Square
Shooter Business"). Baraga manufactures rough terrain telescopic boom forklifts.

The Simon Access and Baraga (the "Acquired  Businesses")  acquisitions are being
accounted for using the purchase  method,  with the purchase price  allocated to
the assets  acquired and the  liabilities  assumed  based upon their  respective
estimated fair values at the date of  acquisition.  The excess of purchase price
over the net  assets  acquired  (approximately  $51.5) is being  amortized  on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the Simon Access
and Baraga acquisitions are summarized as follows:

Accounts receivable..................................$      23.1
Inventories..........................................       38.8
Other current assets.................................        0.9
Property, plant and equipment........................       21.1
Goodwill.............................................       51.5
Other assets.........................................       11.8

Long-term debt.......................................       (4.9)
Other non-current liabilities........................       (1.5)
                                                     ===============
                                                     $      98.7
                                                     ===============

The  Company is in the  process of  completing  evaluations  and  estimates  for
purposes of determining  certain  values.  The Company has also estimated  costs
related to plans to integrate the activities of the Acquired Businesses into the
Company,  including  plans  to  exit  certain  activities  and  consolidate  and
restructure  certain  functions.   The  Company  may  revise  the  estimates  as
additional information is obtained.

The operating  results of the Acquired  Businesses are included in the Company's
consolidated  results  of  operations  since  April 7, 1997 and April 14,  1997,
respectively.  The following pro forma summary presents the consolidated results

of operations as though the Company  completed the  acquisition  of the Acquired
Businesses  on January  1, 1996,  after  giving  effect to certain  adjustments,
including  amortization of goodwill,  interest  expense and amortization of debt
issuance costs on the New Credit Facility:

NOTE F -- 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
adverse 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 (the "IRS") 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.  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 ("NOLs") and the
availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income.  The Company filed an
administrative  appeal to the examination report in April 1995. As a result of a
meeting with the  Manhattan  division of the IRS in July 1995,  in June 1996 the
Company was advised  that the matter was being  referred  back to the  Milwaukee
audit division of the IRS. The Milwaukee  audit division of the IRS is currently
reviewing  information  provided  by the  Company  over the past 18 months.  The
ultimate  outcome of this  matter is subject to the  resolution  of  significant
legal and  factual  issues.  Given the stage of the  audit,  and the  number and
complexity of the legal and  administrative  proceedings  involved in reaching a
resolution  of this  matter,  it is  unlikely  that  the  ultimate  outcome,  if
unfavorable to the Company,  will be determined  for at least several years.  If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be approximately  $56.0 plus penalties of approximately  $12.8
and interest through  September 30, 1997 of  approximately  $90.0. The penalties
asserted by the IRS are  calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for
fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax  assessed  for each of fiscal years 1988 and
1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing
at a rate  of 11%  per  annum.  The  applicable  annual  rate  of  interest  has
historically varied from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with
related  interest  and  penalties,  such  payment  would  exceed  the  Company's
resources.  In such  event,  the  viability  of the  Company  would be placed in
jeopardy,  and it is  uncertain  that the Company  could,  through  financing or
otherwise,  obtain the funds  required  to pay such  assessment,  interest,  and
applicable  penalties.  Management believes,  however,  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 NOLs. Based upon consultation with
its tax advisors,  management  believes that the Company's position will prevail
on the  most  significant  issues.  Accordingly,  management  believes  that the
outcome  of the  examination  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on its
financial  condition or results of operations,  but may result in some reduction
in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company.  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 $56.0 plus interest and penalties, and the
ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are
being expensed to cover the potential liability.

Under the terms of the Company's New Credit  Facility,  an event of default will
occur if the Company incurs any liability for federal income taxes which results
in an  expenditure  of cash of more than $15.0 in excess of the amounts shown as
owed on tax returns filed by the Company prior to April 7, 1997. If this were to
occur,  the maturity of the New Credit  Facility may be accelerated and recourse
may be taken against the accounts  receivable  and inventory  securing  advances
under  the New  Credit  Facility.  In such  event,  the  Company  would  seek to
refinance the indebtedness  outstanding under the New Credit Facility. There can
be no  assurance,  however,  that any  refinancing  would be  obtainable  or, if
obtainable,  that the  terms of such  refinancing  would  be  acceptable  to the
Company.


NOTE G -- EQUITY RIGHTS

On May 9, 1995,  the Company  sold one million  equity  rights  securities  (the
"Equity  Rights")  along with $250 of the 13.25% Senior Secured Notes. A portion
of the proceeds  ($3.2) of the sale of the Senior  Secured  Notes and the Equity
Rights was allocated to the Equity Rights.  The portion of the proceeds  related
to the Equity Rights has been reclassified from other non-current liabilities to
the  stockholders'  deficit  section of the balance  sheet,  because they can be
satisfied  in Common  Stock or cash at the  option of the  Company.  The  Equity
Rights  entitle the  holders,  upon  exercise at any time on or prior to May 15,
2002,  to receive cash or, at the  election of the  Company,  Common Stock in an
amount  equal to the average  closing  sale price of the Common Stock for the 60
consecutive  trading days prior to the date of exercise (the  "Current  Price"),
less $7.288 per share, subject to adjustment in certain  circumstances.  Changes
in the  Current  Price do not  affect  the net  income or loss  reported  by the
Company;  however, changes in the Current Price vary the amount of cash that the
Company  would  have to pay or the  number of Shares of Common  Stock that would
have to be  issued  in the event  holders  exercise  the  Equity  Rights.  As of
September  30, 1997,  the Current  Price of the Common Stock was $21.317,  which
would have required the Company to either pay $14.0 or issue  676,096  shares of
Common Stock, at the Company's  option, in the event that all of the holders had
exercised their Equity Rights.

NOTE H -- LONG-TERM DEBT AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

On July 28, 1997 and August 7, 1997, the Company issued an additional  5,000,000
shares and 700,000 shares,  respectively,  of its common stock in a public stock
offering.  The shares  were issued at a price to the public of $19.50 per share.
The net  proceeds  received  by the  Company  after  deduction  of  underwriting
discounts,  commissions and other expenses was $104.6. On September 4, 1997, the
Company  used a portion of the  proceeds  to redeem  $83.3 in  principal  of the
Company's  13.25% Secured Senior Notes due 2002. In accordance with the terms of
the Senior Secured Notes  Indenture,  the redemption of the Senior Secured Notes
was at a 9.46%  redemption  premium.  The  redemption  premium plus the pro-rata
share of  unamortized  debt  origination  costs  totaled  $12.2  and  have  been
reflected as extraordinary items in the third quarter of 1997.

NOTE I -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings  per share is  computed  by  dividing  net income for the period by the
weighted   average  number  of  common  shares   outstanding  and  common  stock
equivalents. Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to
compute earnings per share amounts were as follows:

                                                  1997              1996

Three months ended September 30,............         19.4              14.2
Nine months ended September 30,.............         16.4              13.0


Recently  Issued  Accounting  Standard  on  Earnings  per  Share.  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share," issued in
February 1997,  establishes new standards for computing and presenting  earnings
per share ("EPS")  effective for December 31, 1997 reporting.  At that time, all
previous EPS disclosures will be restated to comply with the new standard.  SFAS
No.  128  requires  a  dual   presentation  of  basic  and  diluted  EPS  and  a
reconciliation   of  the   numerator  and   denominator   amounts  used  in  the
computations.  Basic EPS is new for the  Company and is  essentially  net income
divided by the weighted  average  common shares  outstanding  during the period.
Diluted EPS is  consistent  with the  Company's  current EPS  disclosures  which
reflects  the  potential  dilution of the  outstanding  stock  options and other
common stock equivalents.

The basic and diluted EPS using the new  standard  for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997

                     (in millions unless otherwise denoted)


NOTE A -- DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PPM Cranes,  Inc.  (sometimes  referred to as Terex Cranes - Conway  Operations)
(the  "Company" or "PPM") is engaged in the design,  manufacture,  marketing and
worldwide  distribution  and  support  of  construction   equipment,   primarily
hydraulic cranes and related spare parts.

On May 9, 1995 (the  "date of  acquisition"),  Terex  Corporation,  through  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc., completed the acquisition of all of
the capital stock of Legris Industries,  Inc., a Delaware Corporation which owns
92.4% of the  capital  stock of PPM Cranes,  Inc.  Terex  Corporation  and Terex
Cranes, Inc., are both Delaware corporations.

The  unaudited  condensed   consolidated   financial  statements  reflect  Terex
Corporation's  basis in the  assets and  liabilities  of the  Company  which was
accounted  for as a purchase  transaction.  As a result,  the debt and  goodwill
associated  with the  acquisition  have  been  "pushed  down"  to the  Company's
financial statements.

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.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
September  30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. For further  information,  refer
to  the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto
included in Terex  Corporation's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

The  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the
Company  and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries.   All   material   intercompany
transactions and profits have been eliminated.


NOTE B -- INVENTORIES

     Net Sales

Sales  increased  $48.4,  or  approximately  29%, to $214.1 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 over the comparable  1996 period,  reflecting the sales
of the Acquired  Businesses,  partially  offset by a decrease in sales for Terex
Trucks.

Terex Cranes'  sales were $140.7 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997,
an increase of $58.2 from $82.5 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. A
significant  portion  of the  increase  in sales was due to the  results  of the
Acquired Businesses.  Sales increased at Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations,  and
were offset  slightly by weaker sales at PPM Europe.  Terex Cranes'  backlog was
approximately  $122 at September 30, 1997,  compared to $67 at December 31, 1996
and $53 at September  30,  1996.  Of the total  backlog at  September  30, 1997,
approximately   33%  was  at  the  Acquired   Businesses.   The  sales  mix  was
approximately  13% parts for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 compared
to 20%  parts  for the  comparable  1996.  The  decrease  in  parts  sales  as a
percentage of total sales was principally  due to temporarily  lower parts sales
at PPM Europe as they relocated their parts distribution facility in June 1997.

Terex  Trucks'  sales  decreased  $11.5  to $71.9  for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1997 from $83.4 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The
decrease in sales was  primarily  machine  sales in the Unit Rig  product  line,
which  decreased  $15.5 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared
with the  comparable  1996  period.  Sales in Europe  were  lower  than the 1996
quarter, reflecting continued weakness in the European construction sector. This
weakness  was  partially  offset  by  sales  growth  in  North  America  and the
developing  regions of Southeast Asia.  Machine sales decreased 13.4%, and parts
sales decreased  12.0%. The decrease in sales of machines and parts is primarily
due to Unit Rig sales declines.  Parts sales generally have higher gross margins
than  machine  sales.  The sales mix was  approximately  31% parts for the three
months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to 30% parts for the  comparable  1996
period.  Backlog was  approximately $33 at September 30, 1997 compared to $53 at
December  31,  1996  and $59 at  September  30,  1996.  Backlog  at Unit  Rig at
September  30,  1997  declined  by  approximately  $20  and $13 as  compared  to
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

Net sales for corporate in the three months ended September 30, 1997 are service
revenues of $1.5  generated by Terex's  parts  distribution  center for services
provided to a third party.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 increased  $13.3, or
56%, to $37.0 as  compared to $23.7 for the three  months  ended  September  30,
1996. The gross profit increased at both Terex Cranes and Terex Trucks.

Terex Cranes' gross profit  increased  $11.6 to $24.0 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997,  compared to $12.4 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996.  The  increase  was due to the  increase  in sales,  principally  from the
Acquired  Businesses.  The gross margin percentage at Terex Cranes was 17.1% for
the three months ended  September 30, 1997 versus 15.0% for the comparable  1996
period.

Terex  Trucks' gross profit  increased  $1.0 to $12.2 for the three months ended
September  30, 1997  compared to $11.2 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased  manufacturing
efficiencies and a relatively increased share of higher margin TEL machines. The
gross  margin  percentage  at Terex  Trucks was 17.0% for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to 13.4% for the three months ended September 30,
1996. The gross margin  percentage  increased on TEL products as well as at Unit
Rig.  Gross profit as a percentage  of sales  increased  during the three months
ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable 1996 period at Unit Rig,
due to the  increase  in parts  sales as a  percentage  of total  sales and as a
result of cost savings from the outsourcing of certain manufacturing operations.

     Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering,  selling and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $17.8 for the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1997 from $14.8 for the three  months ended
September 30, 1996, reflecting the effect of the Acquired Businesses,  partially
offset by cost reductions at the corporate level and at Terex Cranes.

Terex Cranes' engineering,  selling and administrative  expenses as a percentage
of sales  decreased  to 7.7% for the three months  ended  September  30, 1997 as
compared to 8.5% for the comparable 1996 period.  The  engineering,  selling and
administrative  expenses increased to $10.8 for the three months ended 
<PAGE>
25 September  30, 1997 from $7.0 for the three months ended  September 30, 1996,
reflecting  expenses at the Acquired  Businesses  which were partially offset by
the effect of cost reduction actions at Terex Cranes - Waverly  Operations,  PPM
Europe and Terex Cranes - Conway Operations.

Terex Trucks' engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 to
$6.1 for the three months ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to $6.7 for the
same period in 1996. Most of the decrease  relates to cost reduction  actions at
Unit Rig.

     Income from Operations

On a  consolidated  basis,  the Company  had  operating  income from  continuing
operations of $19.2, or 9.0% of sales,  for the three months ended September 30,
1997,  compared to  operating  income of $8.9,  or 5.4% of sales,  for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, for the reasons  mentioned below. For the three
months ended September 30, 1997,  unallocated corporate expense declined by $0.9
versus the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Terex  Cranes'  income  from  operations  of $13.2  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997  increased by $7.8 over the three months ended  September 30,
1996,  primarily  due to the results of the newly  Acquired  Businesses  and the
effect of cost control initiatives  implemented at PPM Europe and Terex Cranes -
Conway  Operations  and continued  strong  performance by Terex Cranes - Waverly
Operations.

Terex  Trucks'  income from  operations  increased by $1.6 to $6.1 for the three
months ended  September 30, 1997 from $4.5 for the three months ended  September
30, 1996,  primarily due to improved  gross margin  percentages.  Improved gross
margin  percentages  were  seen in the TEL  product  line  due to  manufacturing
efficiencies at the Motherwell, Scotland facility.

     Other Income (Expense)

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's interest expense
decreased $2.2 to $9.6 from $11.8 for the comparable 1996 period.  This decrease
was primarily  due to lower debt levels in the three months ended  September 30,
1997 versus the comparable period in 1996. The proceeds from the issuance of the
common stock in July 1997 were used to reduce the average balance borrowed under
the New Credit  Facility and then on September 4, 1997 the Company retired $83.3
of the Senior  Secured  Notes due 2002.  Additionally,  the decrease in interest
expense for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 was  partially  due to the
reduction in the interest  rate from 13.75% to 13.25%  charged on the  Company's
$250 Senior Secured Notes when the debt was registered in October 1996.

Other income  (expense)  for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was  primarily
amortization of debt issue costs,  which was partially offset by the gain on the
sale of excess equipment.

     Income from Discontinued Operations

As a result of selling its Material  Handling  Segment in 1996,  the Company did
not have any income from  discontinued  operations  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $4.8 for the comparable period in the prior year.

     Extraordinary Items

The Company  recorded a charge of $12.2 in the three months ended  September 30,
1997 to recognize a loss on the early  extinguishment of debt in connection with
the redemption of $83.3 of its 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2002.

     Net Sales

Sales  increased  $100.9,  or  approximately  19%, to $622.6 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 over the comparable 1996 period,  primarily  reflecting
the sales of the Acquired Businesses.

Terex Cranes' sales were $393.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an
increase of $107.1 from $286.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
increase in sales was due to the  results of the  Acquired  Businesses,  and the
continued strong sales at Terex Cranes - Waverly Operations. The sales increases
were partially offset by weaker sales at PPM Europe, particularly in Europe, and
Terex Cranes - Conway  Operations.  Terex Cranes' backlog was approximately $122
at September 30, 1997, compared to $67 at December 31, 1996 and $53 at September
30, 1996. Of the total backlog at September 30, 1997,  approximately  33% was at
the Acquired Businesses.  The sales mix was approximately 14% parts for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to 18% parts for the  comparable  1996
period.  The  decrease  in  parts  sales as a  percentage  of  total  sales  was
principally due to temporarily lower parts sales at PPM Europe as they relocated
their parts distribution facility in June 1997.

Terex Trucks' sales decreased $11.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.  In the TEL product
line,  sales grew in North America and the developing  regions of Southeast Asia
but were offset by continued weakness in the European construction sector. Sales
for machines in the Unit Rig product  line for the nine months  ended  September
30, 1997 decreased  approximately  $22.8 as compared to the comparable period in
1996.  Terex Trucks' parts sales  decreased  1.9%,  and machine sales  decreased
4.7%.  The sales mix was  approximately  31%  parts  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 30% parts for the comparable  1996 period.  Parts
<PAGE>

Sales  generally  have higher  gross  margins than  machine  sales.  Backlog was
approximately  $33 at September  30, 1997 compared to $53.0 at December 31, 1996
and $59 at  September  30,  1996.  Backlog  at Unit Rig at  September  30,  1997
declined by  approximately  $20 and $13 as compared  to  September  30, 1996 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.

Net sales for corporate for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are service
revenues of $4.5  generated by Terex's  parts  distribution  center for services
provided to a third party.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $102.8 as compared
to $74.1 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, an increase of $28.7, or
approximately 39%.

Terex  Cranes'  gross profit was $63.4 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1997,  compared  to $43.1 for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  an
increase  of $20.3,  or 47%.  The  increase  was due to the  increase  in sales,
principally  at the Acquired  Businesses.  The gross margin  percentage at Terex
Cranes was 16.1% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 versus 15.1% for
the comparable 1996 period.

Terex  Trucks'  gross profit was $37.8 for the nine months ended  September  30,
1997 compared to $31.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, an increase
of  $6.3.   The  increase  in  gross  profit  was  primarily  due  to  increased
manufacturing efficiencies and a relatively increased share of higher margin TEL
machines.  Unit Rig's gross profit for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997
increased  even  though  sales  decreased  during  the  period,  as a result  of
outsourcing certain  manufacturing  processes,  and due to the sales mix between
parts and  machines.  The gross margin  percentage at Terex Trucks was 16.8% for
the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as  compared to 13.3% for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1996.  This increase in gross margin  percentage was
primarily due to the decrease of Unit Rig machine sales as a percentage of total
sales.

     Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses

Engineering,  selling and administrative expenses as a percent of sales declined
to 8.2% for the first nine  months of 1997  versus  9.1% for 1996.  In  dollars,
engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $51.1 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 from $47.3 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, reflecting the effect of the newly Acquired Businesses at Terex Cranes
which were  partially  offset by cost  reductions at the corporate  level and at
Terex Cranes.

Terex Cranes' engineering,  selling and administrative  expenses as a percentage
of sales  decreased  to 7.6% for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as
compared to 8.6% for the comparable 1996 period.  The  engineering,  selling and
administrative  expenses  increased to $29.9 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 from $24.7 for the nine months ended  September  30,  1996,  due to the
addition of the Acquired Businesses which were partially offset by the effect of
cost reduction actions at PPM Europe and Terex Cranes - Conway Operations.

Terex  Trucks'  engineering,  selling and  administrative  expenses for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997 remained flat at $19.0 as compared to the same
period in 1996. However,  engineering,  selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage  of sales  increased to 8.4% for the nine months ended  September 30,
1997 from 8.0% for the comparable 1996 period, due to the decrease in sales.

     Income from Operations

Consolidated  operating income from continuing  operations was $51.7, or 8.3% of
sales,  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,  compared to operating
income of $26.8, or 5.1% of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
for the reasons mentioned below.

Terex  Cranes'  income  from  operations  of  $33.5  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1997  increased by $15.1 over the nine months ended  September 30,
1996,  primarily  due to the results of the Acquired  Businesses,  the effect of
cost  control  initiatives  implemented  at PPM Europe and Terex Cranes - Conway
Operations,   and  continued  strong  performance  by  Terex  Cranes  -  Waverly
Operations.

Terex  Trucks'  income from  operations  increased by $6.3 to $18.8 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 from $12.5 for the nine months ended  September
30,  1996,  primarily  due to  improved  gross  margin  percentages,  and  level
engineering,   selling  and  administrative   charges.   Improved  gross  margin
percentages  were  seen  at  Unit  Rig,  as  a  result  of  outsourcing  certain


<PAGE>
28
manufacturing  processes,  and in the  TEL  product  line  due to  manufacturing
efficiencies at the Motherwell, Scotland facility.

For the nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  unallocated  corporate  expense
declined by $3.5 versus the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

     Other Income (Expense)

During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's  interest expense
decreased $4.3 to $30.3 from $34.6 for the comparable 1996 period  primarily due
to lower  average debt levels.  A portion of this decrease was due to the $139.5
cash  provided  from the sale of the  Company's  Materials  Handling  Segment in
November  1996,  which  allowed the Company to  eliminate  borrowings  under its
revolving  credit  facility prior to the acquisition of Simon Access on April 7,
1997.  Furthermore,  the proceeds  from the issuance of the common stock in July
1997 were used to reduce  the  average  balance  borrowed  under the New  Credit
Facility and then on September 4, 1997 the Company  redeemed $83.3 of the Senior
Secured Notes due 2002.  Additionally,  the decrease in interest expense for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1997 was partially due to the reduction in the
interest rate from 13.75% to 13.25% charged on the Company's $250 Senior Secured
Notes when the debt was registered in October 1996.

Other  income  (expense)  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 was
primarily  amortization of debt issue costs partially  offset by a $1.0 net gain
on sales of excess assets.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 the
Company realized a gain of $2.4 on the sale of excess property in Scotland.

     Income from Discontinued Operations

As a result of selling its Material  Handling  Segment in 1996,  the Company did
not have any income  from  discontinued  operations  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997  compared to $14.2 for the  comparable  period in the prior
year.

     Extraordinary Items

During the nine months ended  September 30, 1997, the Company  recorded a charge
of $12.2 to recognize a loss on the early  extinguishment  of debt in commection
with the  redemption  of $83.3 of its 13.25%  Senior  Secured Notes due 2002 and
also  recorded a charge of $2.6 to recognize a loss on the early  extinguishment
of debt in connection with the  refinancing of its working capital  facility and
the purchase of the Simon Access companies.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash of $19.8 was used by operating  activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.  $60.0 was provided by operating  results plus  depreciation
and amortization, and approximately $39.9 was invested in working capital during
the period to support the increase in business activity. The remaining effect on
cash from operations for the period was due to the costs of financing.  Net cash
used in investing  activities was $104.6 during the nine months ended  September
30, 1997, primarily related to the purchase of the Acquired Businesses. Net cash
provided  by  financing  activities  was  $60.8  during  the nine  months  ended
September  30, 1997.  Cash was provided by the net proceeds from the issuance of
the common stock and additional  borrowings primarily related to the purchase of
the  Acquired  Businesses.  Cash  was  used in the  redemption  of the  Series A
Preferred  Stock and the redemption of a portion of the Senior Secured Notes due
2002.  Cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.7 at September 30, 1997.

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  service  through  debt
refinancings,  issuance of equity, assets sales,  including the sale of business
units, or any combination thereof.

As  discussed  in Note H of the  notes  to the  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements,  the Company  issued an additional  5,000,000 and 700,000
shares of common stock on July 28, 1997 and August 7, 1997, respectively.  These
shares  were  issued at a price to the public of $19.50 per share.  The  Company
received $104.6, net of underwriting discounts,  commissions and other expenses.
A portion of the proceeds from the stock  offering were initially used to reduce
borrowings  under the Company's  revolving  credit facility on July 28, 1997. On
September 4, 1997,  the Company  used a portion of the  proceeds  from the stock
offering to redeem $83.3 of the Company's 13.25% Senior Secured Notes. The total
funds  paid at the  redemption  were $94.6  ($83.3  principal,  $7.9  redemption
premium and $3.4 accrued interest).  As a result of the redemption of the Senior

Secured  Notes,  the annual  interest  payments on these  Senior  Secured  Notes
decreases from $33.1 to $22.1, a savings of $11.0 per year.

As  discussed  in Note C of the  notes  to the  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements,  on April 7, 1997 the Company  acquired  Simon Access for
$90.  Concurrently with the Simon Access  acquisition,  the Company entered into
the New Credit Facility.  The New Credit Facility  provides the Company with the
ability to borrow (in the form of revolving  loans and up to $20 in  outstanding
letters  of  credit)  up  to  $125.  The  New  Credit  Facility  is  secured  by
substantially  all of the Company's  domestic  receivables  and  inventory.  The
amount of  borrowings  available  under the New  Credit  Facility  is limited to
established  percentages  of eligible  receivables  and  eligible  inventory  of
certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.  The New Credit Facility matures
on April 7, 2000.  At the option of the Company,  revolving  loans may be in the
form of prime rate loans bearing interest at a rate of between 0.5% and 1.5% per
annum in excess of the prime rate or eurodollar rate loans bearing interest at a
rate of  between  2.0% and 3.0% per annum in excess of the  adjusted  eurodollar
rate.  The margin over the prime rate or eurodollar  rate paid by the Company is
based upon the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio from time to time.

As of September 30, 1997, the Company's balance outstanding under the New Credit
Facility  totaled $78.9,  letters of credit issued under the New Credit Facility
totaled $8.7,  and the  additional  amount the Company could have borrowed under
the New Credit Facility was $21.3.

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 the New Credit Facility.  Management  believes
that cash  generated  from  operations,  together with the New Credit  Facility,
provides the Company adequate liquidity to meet the Company's operating and debt
service requirements.


CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Internal  Revenue  Service (the "IRS") 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.  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 ("NOLs") and the
availability of such NOLs to offset future taxable income.  The Company filed an
administrative  appeal to the examination report in April 1995. As a result of a
meeting with the  Manhattan  division of the IRS in July 1995,  in June 1996 the
Company was advised  that the matter was being  referred  back to the  Milwaukee
audit division of the IRS. The Milwaukee  audit division of the IRS is currently
reviewing  information  provided  by the  Company  over the past 18 months.  The
ultimate  outcome of this  matter is subject to the  resolution  of  significant
legal and  factual  issues.  Given the stage of the  audit,  and the  number and
complexity of the legal and  administrative  proceedings  involved in reaching a
resolution  of this  matter,  it is  unlikely  that  the  ultimate  outcome,  if
unfavorable to the Company,  will be determined  for at least several years.  If
the IRS  were to  prevail  on all  the  issues  raised,  the  amount  of the tax
assessment  would be approximately  $56.0 plus penalties of approximately  $12.8
and interest through  September 30, 1997 of  approximately  $90.0. The penalties
asserted by the IRS are  calculated as 20% of the amount of the tax assessed for
fiscal year 1987 and 25% of the tax  assessed  for each of fiscal years 1988 and
1989. Interest on the amount of tax assessed and penalties is currently accruing
at a rate  of 11%  per  annum.  The  applicable  annual  rate  of  interest  has
historically varied from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with
related  interest  and  penalties,  such  payment  would  exceed  the  Company's
resources.  In such  event,  the  viability  of the  Company  would be placed in
jeopardy,  and it is  uncertain  that the Company  could,  through  financing or
otherwise,  obtain the funds  required  to pay such  assessment,  interest,  and
applicable  penalties.  Management believes,  however,  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 NOLs. Based upon consultation with
its tax advisors,  management  believes that the Company's position will prevail
on the  most  significant  issues.  Accordingly,  management  believes  that the
outcome  of the  examination  will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on its
financial  condition or results of operations,  but may result in some reduction
in the amount of the NOLs available to the Company.  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 $56.0 plus interest and penalties, and the
ultimate outcome cannot be determined or estimated at this time. No reserves are
being expensed to cover the potential liability.

Under the terms of the Company's New Credit  Facility,  an event of default will
occur if the Company incurs any liability for federal income taxes which results
in an  expenditure  of cash of more than $15.0 in excess of the amounts shown as
owed on tax returns filed by the Company prior to April 7, 1997. If this were to
occur,  the maturity of the New Credit  Facility may be accelerated and recourse
may be taken against the accounts  receivable  and inventory  securing  advances
under  the New  Credit  Facility.  In such  event,  the  Company  would  seek to
refinance the indebtedness  outstanding under the New Credit Facility. There can
be no  assurance,  however,  that any  refinancing  would be  obtainable  or, if
obtainable,  that the  terms of such  refinancing  would  be  acceptable  to the
Company.

In March of 1994 the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")
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.  In  general,  under the  Company's
by-laws,  the Company is obligated to indemnify  officers and  directors for all
liabilities  arising in the course of their duties on behalf of the Company.  To
date,  no officer or director  has had legal  representation  separate  from the
Company's  legal  representation,  and no  allocation of the legal fees for such
representation has been made.

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 ("CERCLA"),
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 Company does not expect that these  expenditures  will
have a  material  adverse  effect  on its  financial  condition  or  results  of
operations.

Recent Developments

The Company has announced  its  intention to merge Terex  Cranes,  Inc. into the
Company.  As a result of such merger, the preferred stock of Terex Cranes,  Inc.
will be exchanged for newly issued shares of Terex common stock.  As a result of
the  retirement of the preferred  stock of Terex Cranes,  Inc., the Company will
recognize a one-time charge of approximately $3.5 of additional accretion during
the quarter that the merger occurs.

The Company issued an additional 5,000,000 and 700,000 shares of common stock on
July 28, 1997 and August 7, 1997,  respectively.  These  shares were issued at a
price to the public of $19.50 per share.  The Company  received  $104.6,  net of
underwriting  discounts,  commissions  and  other  expenses.  A  portion  of the
proceeds from the stock offering were used by the Company to redeem $83.3 of the
Company's  13.25% Senior  Secured Notes plus $7.9 of  redemption  premium.  As a
result of the  redemption  of the Senior  Secured  Notes,  the  annual  interest
payments on these Senior  Secured  Notes will  decrease  from $33.1 to $22.1,  a
savings of $11.0 per year.


Forward Looking Information

Certain information in this report includes forward looking statements regarding
future events or the future  financial  performance  of the Company that involve
certain risks and uncertainties,  including, but not limited to, those discussed
in "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations." In addition,  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
integration  of  acquired  businesses,  retention  of  key  management,  foreign
currency  movements,  pricing,  product  initiatives  and other actions taken by
competitors,  the effects of changes in laws and  regulations,  continued use of
net operating loss  carryovers  and other  factors.  Actual events or the actual
future  results of the Company may differ  materially  from any forward  looking
statement due to these and other risks, uncertainties and significant factors.
