                       TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 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 March 31, 1997
and for the three  months  ended March 31,  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 in the statement of cash flows and in the statement of operations  for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996.

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 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  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 ended 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 E -- 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 (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 ("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 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.
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.  Additionally,  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.


NOTE F -- CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On May 9, 1995, the Company  completed the refinancing of  substantially  all of
its outstanding debt (the "Refinancing") and, through Terex Cranes, Inc. ("Terex

NOTE G -- 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:

Three months ended March 31, 1997....................         14.4
Three months ended March 31, 1996....................         10.6


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  ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows:

NOTE H -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

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., a
Delaware corporation,  (ii) Simon 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 had to pay 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 will
be 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 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.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 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 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
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;  PPM of Australia Pty. Ltd., and PPM
Far  East  Private  Ltd.,  a  Singapore  company.   All  material   intercompany
transactions and profits have been eliminated.  During 1995,  management  closed
the operations in PPM Far East Private Ltd.

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

            (Dollar amounts are in millions, unless otherwise noted.)

Results of Operations

The Company currently operates in two industry segments:  Terex Trucks and Terex
Cranes. The Company previously  operated a third industry segment,  the Material
Handling  Segment,  the  results  of which  are  accounted  for as  Income  from
Discontinued  Operations.  Terex  Cranes  consists  of Terex  Cranes  -  Waverly
Operations (previously known as Koehring),  Terex Cranes - Conway Operations and
PPM Europe.  Terex Trucks consist of Terex Equipment  Limited ("TEL") located in
Motherwell, Scotland, and Unit Rig ("Unit Rig") located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Quarter Ended March 31, 1997

The table below is a comparison of net sales, gross profit, engineering, selling
and administrative expenses, income from operations and income from discontinued
operations, by segment, for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.

     Net Sales

Sales increased $3.1, or approximately  2%, to $176.3 for the three months ended
March 31,  1997 over the  comparable  1996  period,  reflecting  a strong  sales
quarter at TEL, partially offset by a decrease in sales for Terex Cranes.

Terex Trucks' sales increased $6.8 to $77.7 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 from $70.9 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in sales
was primarily in the TEL product line.  Sales in Europe were lower than the 1996
quarter, reflecting continued weakness in the European construction sector. This
weakness was offset by sales growth in North America and the developing  regions
of Southeast  Asia.  Machine sales  increased  15.4%,  and parts sales increased
2.2%.  Parts sales have higher  margins  than machine  sales.  The sales mix was
approximately  29% parts for the three months  ended March 31, 1997  compared to
31% parts for the  comparable  1996 period.  Backlog was $69.1 at March 31, 1997
compared to $53.4 at December  31, 1996 and $87.0 at March 31,  1996.  The March
31, 1996 backlog included a single order for about $25.0, which was subsequently
canceled. Adjusting for that event, backlog at March 31, 1996 was $62.0.

Terex  Cranes'  sales were $97.1 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997, a
decrease of $5.4 from $102.5 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996.  The
decrease in Terex Cranes' sales was due to timing of shipments and the weakening
of European currencies, principally the French franc. Sales were strong at Terex
Cranes - Waverly  Operations,  including the aerial work platform  product line,
and  were  offset  by  weaker  sales at PPM  Europe  and  Terex  Cranes - Conway
Operations,  particularly  in Europe.  Terex Cranes' backlog was $101.0 at March
31,  1997,  compared to $67.2 at December  31, 1996 and $57.3 at March 31, 1996.
Backlog  levels at March 31, 1997 increased from December 31, 1996 for all Terex
Cranes operations.  Backlog was particularly  strong in the aerial work platform
product line. The sales mix between  machines and parts for the first quarter of
1997 was relatively unchanged from the comparable period in the prior year.

Net sales for corporate are service  revenues of $1.5 generated by Terex's parts
distribution  center.  These  services  were  provided to the  purchaser  of the
Material  Handling Segment during the three months ended March 31, 1997 pursuant
to a service contract entered into with the purchaser when the Company completed
the sale of its Material  Handling  Segment.  The  contract  expires in November
1999.

     Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1997  increased  $4.1 to $27.5
as compared to $23.4 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The gross profit
increase at Terex Trucks was  partially  offset by a decrease in gross profit at
Terex Cranes.

Terex  Trucks' gross profit  increased  $3.7 to $12.8 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997  compared to $9.1 for the three months ended March 31, 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 16.5% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Terex  Cranes' gross profit  decreased  $0.6 to $14.3 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to $14.9 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease was due to the decrease in sales; the gross margin  percentage at Terex
Cranes was 14.7% for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 versus 14.5% for the
comparable 1996 period.

     Engineering, Selling And Administrative Expenses

Engineering,  selling and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to $14.1 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1997 from $16.3 for the three  months ended March
31, 1996, reflecting cost reductions at the corporate level and at Terex Cranes.
Terex Trucks' engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased $0.2 to
$6.4 for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $6.2 for the same
period in 1996.  However,  Terex Trucks' expenses decreased to 8.2% of sales for
the 1997 period from 8.7% of sales for the comparable 1996 period.

Terex Cranes' engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased to $6.8
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 from $8.7 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996,  reflecting the effect of cost  reduction  actions at PPM Europe
and  Terex   Cranes  -  Conway   Operations.   The   engineering,   selling  and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.0% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 8.5% for the comparable 1996 period.

     Income From Operations

On a  consolidated  basis,  the Company  had  operating  income from  Continuing
Operations  of $13.4 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  compared to
operating  income of $7.1 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1996,  for the
reasons mentioned below. For the three months ended March 31, 1997,  unallocated
corporate expense declined by $0.5 versus the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Terex  Trucks'  income from  operations  increased by $3.5 to $6.4 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $2.9 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
primarily due to the  realization of increased  revenues,  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   manufacturing   processes,   and  in  the  TEL  product  line  due  to
manufacturing efficiencies at the Motherwell, Scotland facility.

Terex  Cranes'  income from  operations of $7.5 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 increased by $1.3 over the three months ended March 31, 1996, primarily
due to the  effect of cost  control  initiatives  implemented  at PPM Europe and
Terex Cranes - Conway  Operations  and  continued  strong  performance  by Terex
Cranes - Waverly Operations.

     Other Income (Expense)

During the three months ended March 31, 1997,  the  Company's  interest  expense
decreased $1.9 to $9.5 from $11.4 for the comparable 1996 period.  This decrease
was  primarily  due to the $139.5 cash  provided  from the sale of the Company's
Materials  Handling Segment,  which allowed the Company to eliminate  borrowings
under its revolving credit facility.  Similarly,  the Company was able to invest
excess cash during the period and  interest  income for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1997 increased $0.5 to $0.6 from $0.1 for the three months ended March
31, 1996.

Other income  (expense)  for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was primarily
amortization  of debt issue costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 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 the Company did not have
any income from  discontinued  operations  for the three  months ended March 31,
1997 compared to $3.2 for the comparable period in the prior year.


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 the New Credit Facility described below.

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 part of its strategy to strengthen its
capital  structure and reduce debt,  on November 27, 1996 the Company  completed
the sale of its  worldwide  Material  Handling  Segment  for an  aggregate  cash
purchase price,  subject to adjustments,  of $139.5.  Upon closing,  the Company
immediately paid down its then outstanding  credit facility.  In accordance with
the Indenture  governing the Company's  13.25% Senior Secured Notes, the Company
offered to repurchase (the "Offer") $100 principal  amount of the Senior Secured
Notes. The Offer expired on December 27,  1996, but no Senior Secured Notes were
tendered for repurchase.

Consistent with its strategy of improving its capital structure, on December 30,
1996, the Company called all of its issued and  outstanding  Series A Cumulative
Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred  Stock (the  "Series A Preferred  Stock") for
redemption on January 29, 1997 (the "Redemption  Date").  The Series A Preferred
Stock was accreting  initially at a rate of 13% per annum, which was to increase
to 18% per  annum at the end of  1998.  All  1,200,000  shares  of the  Series A
Preferred Stock outstanding on the Redemption Date were redeemed at a redemption
price of $37.80 per share, or approximately $45.4 in aggregate.

Net cash of $15.0 was provided by operating  activities  during the three months
ended March 31,  1997,  of which $7.0 was  provided by  operating  results  plus
depreciation and amortization, plus an increase of approximately $8.6 in accrued
interest  payable.  Net cash used in  investing  activities  was $0.4 during the
three  months ended March 31, 1997.  Net cash used by financing  activities  was
$43.1  during the three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  principally  due to the
redemption of the Series A Preferred  Stock in January 1997 for $45.4.  Cash and
cash equivalents totaled $39.6 at March 31, 1997.

As of March 31,  1997,  the  Company had no balance  outstanding  under its then
existing  the credit  facility,  letters  of credit  issued  under  that  credit
facility totaled $7.5, and the additional amount the Company could have borrowed
under that credit facility was $43.4. As discussed in Note H of the notes to the
interim  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements,  on April  7,  1997 the
Company  acquired  Simon  Access for $90.0.  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 $20.0 in outstanding  letters of credit) up to $125.0.
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 April 30, 1997 the Company
had availability of $27.3 under the New Credit Facility.


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 ("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 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.
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.  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.

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 Company might be required 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.  During 1996, the Company  incurred
$0.3 of legal  fees  and  expenses  on  behalf  of the  Company,  directors  and
executives of the Company and KCS. 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, 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.

Recent Developments

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,  Terex has
acquired  100% of the  outstanding  common stock of (i)  Simon-Telelect  Inc., a
Delaware corporation,  (ii) Simon 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  businesses.  The Company intends to continue to operate
the Simon Access business.

The Company  obtained the funds necessary to complete the  transaction  from its
cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

On April 7, 1997, the Company and certain of its domestic  subsidiaries  on such
date (collectively,  the "Borrowers")  entered a Revolving Credit Agreement with
the First National Bank of Boston, as agent (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the
Agent and other financial institutions party thereto 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  replaces the Company's  $100
revolving credit facility with Foothill Capital Corporation,  as agent (the "Old
Credit Facility").

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 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.

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.
