To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Terex Corporation


In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet and the related combined
statements  of  operations  and of cash flows  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,   the  combined  financial  position  of  Simon  Telelect,   Inc.  and
subsidiaries, Simon Aerials Inc. and subsidiaries, Simon-Cella, S.r.l., Sim-Tech
Management  Limited,  Simon Aerials Limited and Simon-Tomen  Engineering Company
Limited  ("Simon Access" or the "Company") at December 31, 1996, and the results
of their  operations  and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting  principles.  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 audit. We conducted our
audit of  these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which 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,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                                  SIMON ACCESS

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1996

                      (In millions, unless otherwise noted)


1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Basis of  Presentation.  As more fully  described in Note 13, Terex  Corporation
("Terex"),  completed  the  acquisition  of all of the  common  stock  of  Simon
Telelect,  Inc., Simon Aerials Inc.,  Simon-Cella,  S.r.l.,  Sim-Tech Management
Limited and Simon Aerials Limited,  on April 7, 1997.  Simon Telelect,  Inc. has
two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Simon  Telelect  West  Coast,  Inc.  and Simon
Atlantico,  Inc.;  Simon  Aerials Inc. also has two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,
Simon RO Corporation and Simon Aircraft Ground Equipment Inc. These wholly-owned
subsidiaries  also were acquired by Terex.  Additionally,  Terex acquired 60% of
the outstanding common stock of Simon-Tomen  Engineering Company Limited.  Prior
to the acquisition the acquired companies  (collectively,  "Simon Access" or the
"Company")  were owned by Simon  Engineering  plc ("Simon") or its  wholly-owned
subsidiary, Simon United States Holding, Inc. ("SUSHI").

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 Simon Access  businesses.
All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

Description  of  Business.  Simon  Access  designs,  manufactures,  installs and
markets  self-propelled  access  equipment  for  the  industrial  manufacturing,
construction,  utility and airline  industries.  The  Company's  major  products
include  digger  derricks,  telescopic  and  articulated  aerial  platforms used
primarily in the utility  industry,  self-propelled  telescopic and  articulated
work platforms,  truck-mounted  telescopic and articulated cranes,  scissor lift
platforms and aircraft deicers. Simon Access has manufacturing facilities in the
United States, the Republic of Ireland and Italy.


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates.  The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash  Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents  consist of highly liquid
investments  with  original  maturities  of three  months or less.  The carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost
is determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.

Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Assets.  Goodwill,  representing  the difference
between  the total  purchase  price and the fair value of assets  (tangible  and
intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition,  is being amortized on a
straight-line  basis over the  estimated  useful lives,  primarily  forty years.
Intangible assets, which include purchased patents and trademarks, are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful lives between five
and forty years. Accumulated amortization is $21.7 at December 31, 1996.

Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Expenditures  for  major  renewals  and   improvements  are  capitalized   while
expenditures  for  maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an
asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred.  Plant
and equipment  are  depreciated  over the  estimated  useful lives of the assets
under the straight-line  method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes
and both straight-line and other methods for tax purposes.

Revenue Recognition.  Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either  independently  owned and operated  dealers or to
customers.  Certain new units may be invoiced  prior to the time  customers take
physical possession.  Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer
has a fixed  commitment  to purchase the units,  the units have been  completed,
tested  and made  available  to the  customer  for pickup or  delivery,  and the
customer has requested that the Company hold the units for pickup or delivery at
a time  specified by the  customer in the sales  documents.  In such cases,  the
units are invoiced under the Company's  customary  billing  terms,  title to the
units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing,  the units are
segregated  from the  Company's  inventory  and  identified  as belonging to the
customer and the Company has no further obligations under the order.

Accrued  Warranties  and Product  Liability.  The Company  records  accruals for
potential  warranty and product  liability  claims based on the Company's  claim
experience.  Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is  recognized.  The
Company  provides for  insurance  deductibles  for estimated  product  liability
experience  on known  claims and for claims  anticipated  to have been  incurred
which have not yet been reported.

Foreign   Currency   Translation.   Assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Company's
international  operations are translated at year-end exchange rates.  Income and
expenses are translated at average  exchange rates  prevailing  during the year.
For operations  whose  functional  currency is the local  currency,  translation
adjustments are accumulated in Shareholders'  Equity.  Gains or losses resulting
from foreign currency transactions are included in the Statement of Operations

Environmental  Policies.  Environmental  expenditures  that  relate  to  current
operations  are either  expensed or  capitalized  depending on the nature of the
expenditure.  Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that
do not  contribute  to  current  or  future  revenue  generation  are  expensed.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental  assessments and/or remedial actions
are probable,  and the costs can be reasonably estimated.  Such amounts were not
material at December 31, 1996.

Research and Development  Costs.  Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred.  Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant
improvements  to existing  products  are  included in  Engineering,  Selling and
Administrative Expenses and totaled $1.3 for 1996.

Income Taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon
the  difference  between  the tax  bases of  assets  and  liabilities  and their
carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The Company's U.S. operations
file a consolidated federal income tax return with its common U.S. parent. There
is no formal tax sharing agreement,  however,  the group has utilized certain of
the Company's net operating loss carryforwards for tax return purposes for which
the Company has not received any financial statement benefit.  Additionally, the
Company has not  reflected  financial  statement  expense for its use of the net
operating  losses of other  members of the  consolidated  group.  The  Company's
foreign operations file individual separate tax returns.  Additionally,  certain
of the Company's domestic operations file individual state tax returns.

Impairment  of  Long  Lived  Assets.  The  Company's  policy  is to  assess  the
realizability  of  its  long  lived  assets  and to  evaluate  such  assets  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying  amount of such  assets  (or group of assets)  may not be  recoverable.
Impairment  is determined to exist if the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash
flows is less  than its  carrying  value.  The  amount  of any  impairment  then
recognized  would be  calculated  as the  difference  between  estimated  future
discounted cash flows and the carrying value of the asset.

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, 1996,  based on either
the short  maturity  of those  financial  instruments  or because  their  stated
interest rates approximate  current interest rates for similar  instruments with
similar maturities.

contributions   of  up  to  3.5%  of  employees'   earnings  based  on  employee
contributions.  The  Company  makes an  additional  contribution  equal to 1% of
employees'  earnings  regardless  of the amount of employee  contributions.  The

Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  result from  differences  in the basis of
assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement  purposes.  In accordance
with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 109 "Accounting

carryforwards, of which $5.1 relates to Ireland.



9. Leases

Simon Access 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
the Company to pay maintenance,  property taxes and insurance.  Rent expense for
1996 was $0.8.

Future minimum  rental  payments,  by year and in the  aggregate,  under capital
leases  and  noncancellable  operating  leases as of  December  31,  1996 are as

10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company 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, 1996 the Company had a reserve of $5.8
related to product liability matters,  including a portion 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.

The  Company  is,  in the  normal  course  of  business,  a party  to  financial
instruments  with  off-balance-sheet  risk.  The  instruments  are guarantees of
customer  notes  payable,  arranged by the Company,  to a third party  financing
institution.  The Company performs credit reviews on all such guarantees.  These
guarantees extend for periods up to five years and expire in decreasing  amounts
through 2001. The amount guaranteed is contractually limited to 20% of the total
of the balance of the notes  payable  currently  outstanding,  but not less than
$0.5 or more than $2.5. The notes are collateralized by the equipment  financed.
As of December 31, 1996, approximately $7.7 of guaranteed notes were outstanding
with a maximum credit risk to the Company of approximately $1.5

costs plus a reasonable  markup for profit.  Operating  income  equals net sales
less direct and  allocated  operating  expenses,  excluding  interest  and other
nonoperating items.

required to be repaid in connection with the Simon Access Acquisition, consisted
of  approximately  $90 million in cash. The Company obtained the funds necessary
to  complete  the  transaction  from its cash on hand and  borrowings  under its
new revolving credit facility.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1997

                     (in millions unless otherwise denoted)


1.  Basis of Presentation

Basis of  Presentation.  As more fully  described  in Note 5, Terex  Corporation
("Terex"),  completed  the  acquisition  of all of the  common  stock  of  Simon
Telelect,  Inc., Simon Aerials Inc.,  Simon-Cella,  S.r.l.,  Sim-Tech Management
Limited and Simon Aerials Limited,  on April 7, 1997.  Simon Telelect,  Inc. has
two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Simon  Telelect  West  Coast,  Inc.  and Simon
Atlantico,  Inc.;  Simon  Aerials Inc. also has two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,
Simon RO Corporation and Simon Aircraft Ground Equipment Inc. These wholly-owned
subsidiaries  also were acquired by Terex.  Additionally,  Terex acquired 60% of
the outstanding common stock of Simon-Tomen  Engineering Company Limited.  Prior
to the acquisition the acquired companies  (collectively,  "Simon Access" or the
"Company")  were owned by Simon  Engineering  plc ("Simon") or its  wholly-owned
subsidiary, Simon United States Holding, Inc. ("SUSHI").

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 Simon Access  businesses.
All significant intercompany balances 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 ended March 31, 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
combined financial  statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1996 included in this Report on Form 8-K/A.


2.  Inventories

Net inventories at March 31, 1997 consist of the following:

Finished equipment...................................$         6.8
Replacement parts....................................          4.5
Work-in-process......................................         16.9
Raw materials and supplies...........................          8.4
                                                     -----------------
                                                     $        36.6
                                                     =================


3.  Property, Plant and Equipment

Net property, plant and equipment at March 31, 1997 consists of the following:

Property, plant and equipment........................$        48.5
Less:  Accumulated depreciation......................        (26.1)
                                                     -----------------
Net property, plant and equipment....................$        22.4
                                                     =================


4.  Contingencies

The Company 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 March 31,  1997 the Company had a reserve of $5.8
related to product liability matters,  including a portion 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.

The  Company  is,  in the  normal  course  of  business,  a party  to  financial
instruments  with  off-balance-sheet  risk.  The  instruments  are guarantees of
customer  notes  payable,  arranged by the Company,  to a third party  financing
institution.  The Company performs credit reviews on all such guarantees.  These
guarantees extend for periods up to five years and expire in decreasing  amounts
through 2001. The amount guaranteed is contractually limited to 20% of the total
of the balance of the notes  payable  currently  outstanding,  but not less than
$0.5 or more than $2.5. The notes are collateralized by the equipment  financed.
As of March 31, 1997,  approximately  $7.2 of guaranteed  notes were outstanding
with a maximum credit risk to the Company of approximately $1.4.


5.  Subsequent Events -- Acquisition by Terex and Financing Arrangements

On April 7, 1997 Terex completed the  acquisition of Simon Access.  The purchase
price,  together  with  amounts  needed to repay  indebtedness  of Simon  Access
required to be repaid in connection with the Simon Access Acquisition, consisted
of  approximately  $90 million in cash. The Company obtained the funds necessary
to  complete  the  transaction  from its cash on hand and  borrowings  under its
new revolving credit facility.

                                TEREX CORPORATION

                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following unaudited pro forma condensed  financial  information of the Terex
Corporation  ("Terex" or the "Company")  gives effect to the  acquisition of (i)
all  of  the  common  stock  of  Simon  Telelect,   Inc.,  Simon  Aerials  Inc.,
Simon-Cella,  S.r.l., Sim-Tech Management Limited and Simon Aerials Limited, and
(ii) 60% of the  outstanding  common stock of  Simon-Tomen  Engineering  Company
Limited  (collectively,  "Simon  Access"),  on April 7, 1997 by the Company (the
"Simon  Access  Acquisition")  as  described in Item 2 of Terex's Form 8-K dated
April 7, 1997. The pro forma  information is based on the historical  statements
of  operations  of the Company for the year ended  December 31, 1996 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as if the Simon Access  Acquisition  had taken
place at the  beginning  of each period  presented,  giving  effect to the Simon
Access  Acquisition  and  related  financing  transactions  and  adjustments  as
reflected in the accompanying notes.  Additionally,  the pro forma balance sheet
of the Company is based on the historical  balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 as
if the Simon Access  Acquisition  had taken place as of March 31,  1997,  giving
effect to the adjustments as reflected in the accompanying notes.

On April 7, 1997,  the  Company  completed  the Simon  Access  Acquisition.  The
purchase  price,  together with amounts  needed to repay  indebtedness  of Simon
Access  required to be repaid in connection  with the Simon Access  Acquisition,
consisted of  approximately  $90 million in cash. The Company obtained the funds
necessary to complete the transaction from its cash on hand and borrowings under
its revolving credit facility (discussed below).

Also on April 7, 1997,  Terex and its  domestic  subsidiaries,  including  Simon
Access,  (collectively,  the  "Borrowers")  entered a revolving credit agreement
with a  financial  institution,  as agent (the  "Agent"),  pursuant to which the
Agent has  provided  the  Borrowers  with a line of credit of up to $125 million
secured by accounts  receivable and inventory (the "New Credit  Facility").  The
New Credit Facility  replaced  Terex's $100 revolving  credit facility (the "Old
Credit Facility").

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase  method,  with the purchase
price of the Simon  Access  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.  However,
management  believes  that  there  will not be any  changes  which  will  have a
material effect on the pro forma information.

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

                              (amounts in millions)

1)   The unaudited pro forma  condensed  consolidated  financial  information is
     presented for the year ended  December 31, 1996 and as of and for the three
     months ended March 31, 1997. The pro forma statements of operations reflect
     the  consolidated  operations  of the  Company  combined  with those of the
     acquired business assuming the Simon Access Acquisition and the Refinancing

     balance sheet assumes the Simon Access Acquisition and the Refinancing were
     consummated on March 31, 1997.

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

     a)   Pro  forma   adjustments  to  "Cost  of  goods  sold"   represent  the
          elimination of goodwill  amortization of the business acquired and the
          amortization of goodwill  resulting from the Simon Access  Acquisition

     b)   Pro forma  adjustments  to  "Engineering,  Selling and  Administrative
          Expenses"  represent  reductions  throughout  Simon Access,  primarily
          through the elimination of the  administrative  headquarters,  foreign
          sales offices and plant closures which  initiatives  have already been
          implemented.  Liabilities related to these employee  terminations have
          been accrued in connection with the Simon Acquisition pursuant to EITF

          portion of the Simon Access Acquisition. The New Credit Facility loans
          bear  interest 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 Company's  option  (interest  rate of
          8.5%,  including fees,  assumed for pro forma  presentation);  the New
          Credit  Facility  expires April 7, 2000. The pro forma  adjustments to
          "Interest  expense" and "Other income  (expense) - net"  represent the
          incremental effects of the Refinancing.

3)   The pro forma balance sheet adjustments are summarized as follows:

     a)   Pro forma  adjustments to "Cash and cash  equivalents"  represent cash
          used in the Simon Access Acquisition and termination of the Old Credit

          Access as such cash was not included as part of the assets acquired by
          Terex.

     b)   Pro  forma  adjustments  to  "Property,  plan  and  equipment  -  net"
          represent a reduction in value of the fixed assets of Simon Access due
          to plant closure.

     c)   Pro forma  adjustments  to "Goodwill - net" represent the net increase

     e)   Pro forma  adjustments  to  "Notes  payable  and  current  portion  of
          long-term  debt" and "Due to affiliates"  represent the forgiveness of
          amounts due to Simon Access's  parent company and other  affiliates as
          part of the acquisition.

     f)   Pro  forma  adjustments  to  "Other  current  liabilities"   represent
          additional  liabilities incurred,  primarily for termination payments,
          on account of the acquisition.

     g)   Pro forma  adjustments  to  "Long-term  debt,  less  current  portion"
          represent  borrowings under the New Credit Facility in connection with
          the acquisition.

     h)   Pro forma adjustments to "Additional paid-in capital" and "Accumulated
          deficit"  represent the  elimination  of the equity  accounts of Simon
          Access,  and the  impact on Terex's  equity for the fees and  expenses
          incurred in connection with the early termination of the Company's Old
          Credit Facility.

4)   A pro  forma  condensed  balance  sheet as of March 31,  1997 is  presented
     herein. The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the
     Simon Access Acquisition are summarized as follows:

                                                     $     90.0
                                                     ============


The Company is in the process of  obtaining  certain  evaluations,  estimations,
appraisals and actuarial and other studies for purposes of  determining  certain
values.  The Company has also estimated  costs related to plans to integrate the
activities of Simon Access into the Company, including plans to terminate excess
employees,  exit certain  activities and  consolidate  and  restructure  certain
functions.  The Company may revise the  estimates as additional  information  is
obtained.  However, management believes that there will not be any changes which
will have a material effect on the pro forma information.
