                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Terex Corporation

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related
consolidated statement of operations,  changes in stockholders' equity (deficit)
and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position
of Terex Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended  December 31,  1997,  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  audits.  We  conducted  our audits 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  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                                December 31, 1997
 (dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)


NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.  As set forth in Note B below, the Company sold its Clark
Material  Handling business on November 27, 1996. The sale resulted in a gain of
$84.5. The Clark Material  Handling  business is accounted for as a discontinued
operation  in the  consolidated  statement  of  operations  for the years  ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

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 the  Clark
Material Handling business 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 is 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.

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

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 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.

Debt  Issuance  Costs.  Debt issuance  costs  incurred in securing the Company's
financing  arrangements  are  capitalized  and  amortized  over  the term of the
associated debt. Capitalized debt issuance costs related to debt that is retired
early are  charged to expense at the time of  retirement.  Debt  issuance  costs
before  amortization  totaled  $12.6 and $16.9 at  December  31,  1997 and 1996,
respectively.  During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company  amortized $2.6, $2.6 and
$2.3,  respectively,  of capitalized debt issuance costs; in addition,  $4.1 and
$7.5 of such costs were charged to  extraordinary  loss on retirement of debt in
1997 and 1995, respectively.

Intangible  Assets.  Intangible assets include purchased patents and trademarks.
Costs  allocated  to patents,  trademarks  and other  specifically  identifiable
assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the respective estimated useful lives not exceeding seven years.

Goodwill. 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 between
fifteen and forty years.  Accumulated  amortization is $8.9 and $5.6 at December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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

                                       11


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.

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.  (See Note D --
"Impairment of Long Lived Assets and Other Special Charges.")

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   self-insurance  accruals  for  estimated  product  liability
experience  on known  claims and for claims  anticipated  to have been  incurred
which have not yet been reported.  The Company's product liability  accruals are
presented on a gross settlement basis.

Non  Pension  Postretirement   Benefits.  The  Company  provides  postretirement
benefits to certain  former  salaried and hourly  employees  and certain  hourly
employees  covered by bargaining  unit  contracts that provide such benefits and
has  elected  the delayed  recognition  method of  adoption of the new  standard
related to the benefits. (See Note L -- "Retirement Plans.")

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 the Cumulative  Translation  Adjustment component
of  Stockholders'  Equity  (Deficit).  Gains or losses  resulting  from  foreign
currency transactions are included in Other income (expense) -- net.

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge
recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain  international  operations and
firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into
speculative contracts.  Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are
recognized  in income as  offsets to the gains and  losses  from the  underlying
hedged amounts.  Gains and losses on hedges of firm  commitments are recorded on
the basis of the  underlying  transaction.  At  December  31,  1997 and 1996 the
Company had foreign exchange  contracts,  which were hedges of firm commitments,
totaling $13.8 and $29.4,  respectively,  fair value of which approximates their
carrying value.

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, 1997 and 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.

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  records a
valuation  allowance  for deferred tax assets if  realization  of such assets is
dependent on future taxable income. (See Note I -- "Income Taxes.")

Earnings Per Share. Effective with the fourth quarter of 1997, Terex implemented
SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share", which establishes new standards for computing
and  presenting  earnings  per share and requires  the  disclosure  of basic and
diluted  amounts.  Earnings  per share  amounts for all prior  periods have been
restated.  Basic  earnings  per share is computed by dividing net income for the
period by the  weighted  average  number  of Terex  common  shares  outstanding.
Diluted  earnings per share,  which is consistent with the Company's  previously
disclosed  amounts,  is computed  by  dividing  net income for the period by the
weighted  average number of Terex common shares  outstanding and dilutive common
stock equivalents.


NOTE B -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company sold its worldwide  Clark  Material  Handling  business  ("CMHC") on
November 27, 1996 for $139.5 in cash.  The sale  resulted in a $84.5 gain net of
$2.6 of income taxes.  CMHC comprised the Company's  Material  Handling Segment.
The  accompanying  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  for the years  ended
December  31,  1996  and  1995  include  the  results  of CMHC in  "Income  from
Discontinued  Operations."  Please refer to Note A - Basis of Presentation for a
discussion of  allocation  of interest  expense.  Summary  operating  results of
discontinued operations are as follows:

NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS

Simon Access and Baraga - 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  (now  named  Terex  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 Note G - "Long-Term Obligations").

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  $54.5) is being  amortized  on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

                                       13


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

Accounts receivable..................................$      23.1

                                                     ===============

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

PPM - On May 9, 1995,  the Company,  through Terex Cranes,  Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Terex Cranes, Inc."), completed the acquisition (the
"PPM  Acquisition")  of  substantially  all of the shares of P.P.M.  S.A.  ("PPM
Europe"),  from Potain S.A., and all of the capital stock of Legris  Industries,
Inc.,  which owns 92.4% of the  capital  stock of PPM Cranes,  Inc.  ("PPM North
America;" and PPM North America together with PPM Europe  collectively  referred
to as "PPM") from Legris  Industries S.A. PPM designs,  manufactures and markets
mobile  cranes and  container  stackers  primarily in North  America and Western
Europe  under  the  brand  names  of  PPM,  P&H   (trademark  of   Harnischfeger
Corporation)  and  BENDINI.   Concurrently   with  the  completion  of  the  PPM
Acquisition,  the Company contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its
Koehring Cranes and Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The former
division now operates as Koehring  Cranes,  Inc., a wholly owned  subsidiary  of
Terex Cranes Inc. ("Koehring").

The  purchase  price of PPM,  including  acquisition  costs,  was  approximately
$104.5.  Approximately  $92.6 of the purchase price was paid in cash,  including
the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid in connection
with the  acquisition.  The  remainder  of the purchase  price  consisted of the
issuance of  redeemable  preferred  stock of Terex  Cranes  having an  aggregate
liquidation  preference  of  approximately  $21.4,  subject  to  adjustment.  On
December 10, 1997,  the Company  issued  706.0  thousand  shares of Terex Common
Stock in exchange for the outstanding  preferred  stock of Terex Cranes.  At the
time of the exchange Terex recorded an additional $3.2 preferred stock accretion
to reflect the  difference  between the fair  market  value of the Common  Stock
issued and the carrying value of the Terex Cranes preferred stock.

The PPM  Acquisition  was accounted for as a purchase,  with the purchase  price
allocated  to the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based upon their
respective  estimated  fair  values at the date of  acquisition.  The  excess of
purchase  price  over  the  net  assets   acquired  is  being   amortized  on  a
straight-line  basis  over 15 years.  The  estimated  fair  values of assets and
liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition were:

nor does it purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.


NOTE D -- IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS AND OTHER SPECIAL CHARGES

As required by generally accepted accounting principles,  goodwill was allocated
in the PPM  Acquisition to various  operating  units.  After eighteen  months of
continuous rationalization, estimated future undiscounted cash flows for certain
operations  would not be  sufficient  to recover the  goodwill  and fixed assets
recorded for these  operations.  Thus, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
recorded an  impairment  charge of $16.8  ($13.3  related to  goodwill  and $3.5
related to fixed assets).  Similarly,  in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
wrote off $1.9 of  goodwill  related to its IMACO  unit in the  United  Kingdom.
These 1996  impairment  charges  totaling  $18.7 are  included in "Cost of Goods
Sold."

In addition to the impairment  charges  described  above,  the Company  recorded
special  charges of $8.6 to reduce the value of assets at Unit Rig, $2.0 related
to 1993 tax matters at PPM Europe, and $3.0 of other one-time charges during the
fourth quarter of 1996.

The Senior Secured Notes

On May 9, 1995,  the Company  issued $250 of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due May
15,  2002.  The Senior  Secured  Notes were issued in  conjunction  with the PPM
Acquisition  and a refinancing  of 13.0% Senior Secured Notes due August 1, 1996
("Old Senior Secured Notes"),  and 13.5% Secured Senior  Subordinated  Notes due
July 1, 1997 ("Subordinated Notes"). Except in the event of certain asset sales,
there are no principal repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each
year to holders of record on the  immediately  preceding  May 1 and  November 1,
respectively.  The  Notes  bear  interest  at  13.25%  per  annum.  Prior to the
consummation  of an exchange offer on November 5, 1996, the interest rate on the
Notes was 13.75% per annum.  Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The Senior Secured Notes are senior  obligations  of the Company,  pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future senior  indebtedness and senior to
all  subordinated  indebtedness.  Repayment  of  the  Senior  Secured  Notes  is
guaranteed by certain domestic  subsidiaries of the Company (the  "Guarantors").
The Senior  Secured Notes are secured by a first priority  security  interest on
substantially  all of the assets of the Company and the  Guarantors,  other than
cash and cash equivalents,  except that as to accounts  receivable and inventory
and  proceeds  thereof,  and certain  related  rights,  such  security  shall be
subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working capital
or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts  receivable and inventory,
including the Credit  Facility.  The Senior  Secured Notes are also secured by a
lien on certain assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.  The indenture for
the 13.25% Senior Secured Notes (the  "Indenture")  places certain limits on the
Company's  ability to incur  additional  indebtedness;  permit the  existence of
liens;  issue,  pay  dividends  on or redeem  equity  securities;  sell  assets;
consolidate,  merge or  transfer  assets  to  another  entity;  and  enter  into
transactions with affiliates.

As required by the Indenture,  the Company,  following the sale of CMHC, offered
to repurchase  (the "Offer") $100 principal  amount of the Senior Secured Notes.
The Offer  expired on December  27,  1996,  with no Senior  Secured  Notes being
tendered for  repurchase.  As a result,  the $100 of sale proceeds was available
for other corporate purposes.

On July 28,  1997 and August 7, 1997,  the  Company  issued an  additional  five
million shares and 700 thousand 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 Secured Senior Notes. In accordance with the terms of the 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.

The 1997 Credit Facility

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
"1997 Credit  Facility").  The 1997 Credit Facility  replaced the Company's $100
revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility").

Loans  made  under the 1997  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.

The Old Credit Facility

The Old Credit  Facility was  terminated in April 1997 in  conjunction  with the
Simon Access acquisition and entering into the 1997 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
have been reflected as extraordinary items in the second quarter of 1997.

The Company had the option to base the interest rate on prime or the  Eurodollar
rate. The  outstanding  principal  amount of prime rate loans was at the rate of
1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate. The outstanding principal amount of
Eurodollar  rate  loans  was at the rate of 3.75%  per  annum in  excess  of the
adjusted Eurodollar rate.

Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes

The Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated  Notes were retired on May 9, 1995
in conjunction  with the PPM  Acquisition  and the issuance of the 13.25% Senior
Secured Notes. The Company  realized an  extraordinary  loss of $5.7 and $1.6 on
the early  extinguishment  of the Old Senior Secured Notes and the  Subordinated
Notes, respectively.

Old TEL Facility

In 1995, the Company's  subsidiary,  Terex Equipment  Limited ("TEL") located in
Motherwell,  Scotland,  entered into a bank facility (the "TEL Facility")  which
provides  up  to  (pound)47.0   ($80.5)  including  up  to  (pound)10.0  ($17.1)
non-recourse  discounting  of  accounts  receivable  which meet  certain  credit
criteria,  plus additional  facilities for tender and performance bonds, letters
of credit  discounting  and  foreign  exchange  contracts.  Interest  rates vary
between 1.0% - 1.5% above the  financial  institution's  Published  Base Rate or
LIBOR.  The TEL Facility is  collateralized  primarily  by the related  accounts
receivable.  The TEL Facility requires no performance  covenants.  Proceeds from
the TEL  Facility  are  primarily  used for working  capital  purposes.  Amounts
discounted  under  this and the prior  facility  were  $12.7,  $6.9 and $11.7 at
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

Schedule of Debt Maturities

See Note Q -- "Subsequent  Events for a discussion  regarding the refinancing of
substantially all of the debt of the Company in the first quarter of 1998.

Prior  to the  refinancing  in the  first  quarter  of  1998,  scheduled  annual
maturities of long-term debt  outstanding at December 31, 1997 in the successive
five-year  period are summarized  below.  Amounts shown are exclusive of minimum
lease payments disclosed in Note H -- "Lease Commitments":

Based on quoted market values,  the Company  believes that the fair value of the
Senior  Secured  Notes was  approximately  $190.4 as of December 31,  1997.  The
Company believes that, based on quoted market values,  the carrying value of its
other borrowings  approximates  fair market value,  based on discounting  future
cash  flows  using  rates  currently  available  for debt of  similar  terms and
remaining maturities.

The  Company  paid $39.8,  $45.3 and $43.0 of  interest in 1997,  1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings outstanding was 8.3%
at December 31, 1997 and 10.0% at December 31, 1996.


NOTE H -- LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases  certain  facilities,  machinery and equipment,  and vehicles
with  varying  terms.  Under most  leasing  arrangements,  the Company  pays the
property  taxes,  insurance,  maintenance  and  expenses  related  to the leased
property.  Certain of the equipment  leases are classified as capital leases and
the related  assets have been  included in Property,  Plant and  Equipment.  Net
assets under  capital  leases were $21.9 and $8.2 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively,  net of accumulated  amortization of $8.2 and $9.6 at December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

Most of the Company's  operating  leases  provide the Company with the option to
renew the leases for  varying  periods  after the  initial  lease  terms.  These
renewal  options  enable the  Company  to renew the  leases  based upon the fair
rental  values at the date of  expiration  of the initial  lease.  Total  rental
expense under operating  leases was $6.8, $4.7 and $3.9 in 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively.

As a  result  of  the  recapitalization  of  PPM  Europe,  certain  NOL  benefit
carryforwards  which were fully  provided for at the  acquisition  were utilized
resulting in a deferred tax charge of $11.3 in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  result from  differences  in the basis of
assets and liabilities  for tax and financial  statement  purposes.  A valuation
allowance has been  recognized for the full amount of the deferred tax assets as
it is not more likely than not that they will be fully utilized. The tax effects
of the basis  differences and net operating loss carryforward as of December 31,
1997 and 1996 are summarized below for major balance sheet captions:

The  valuation  allowance  for  deferred  tax  assets as of  January 1, 1996 was
$149.6.  The net change in the total  valuation  allowance  for the years  ended
December  31,  1996 and 1997 were a decrease  of $34.6 and an increase of $43.3,
respectively.

The  Company's  Provision  for Income Taxes is  different  from the amount which
would be provided  by  applying  the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to the
Company's  Income  (Loss) From  Continuing  Operations  Before  Income Taxes and
Extraordinary Items. The reasons for the difference are summarized below:

The effective tax rate for  discontinued  operations  differs from the statutory
rate due primarily to  utilization of NOLs and foreign tax  differential  on the
income of foreign subsidiaries.

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign  withholding  taxes on
$37.8 of foreign subsidiaries'  undistributed  earnings as of December 31, 1997,
because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. Any income tax
liability that would result had such earnings  actually been  repatriated  would
likely  be offset by  utilization  of NOLs.  On  repatriation,  certain  foreign
countries impose  withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be
payable on  remittance  of the entire  amount of  undistributed  earnings  would
approximate $6.6.

At December  31,  1997,  the Company had  domestic  federal net  operating  loss
carryforwards of $290.5. Approximately $66.6 of the remaining net operating loss
carryforwards  are subject to special  limitations  under the  Internal  Revenue
Code, and the NOLs may be affected by the current  Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") examination discussed below.

The  Company  also  has  various  state  net  operating   loss  and  tax  credit
carryforwards  expiring at various dates through 2012 available to reduce future
state  taxable  income and income  taxes.  In addition,  the  Company's  foreign
subsidiaries have approximately $78.4 of loss carryforwards, $33.6 in the United
Kingdom,  $23.1 in France, and $21.7 in other countries,  which are available to
offset future foreign taxable income.  The tax loss  carryforwards in the United
Kingdom  and  other  countries  are  available  without  expiration.   Tax  loss
carryforwards  in France of $6.7  expire  in 2000 and 2002,  with the  remaining
$16.4 available without expiration.

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
raised a variety of issues,  including the Company's  substantiation for certain
deductions taken during this period,  the Company's  utilization of certain 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. 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 the 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 plus
penalties  of  approximately  $12.8 and  interest  through  December 31, 1997 of
approximately  $94.5. 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 carried from 7% to 12%.

If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment with
related  interest  and  penalties,  such  payment  might  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 million 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.

The Company  made income tax  payments of $1.8 in 1997.  No income tax  payments
were made in 1996 and 1995.


NOTE J -- PREFERRED STOCK

The  Company's  certificate  of  incorporation  was  amended in October  1993 to
authorize 10.0 million shares of preferred  stock,  $.01 par value per share. As
of December 31, 1997, no shares of preferred  stock are outstanding as described
below.

Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December  31,  1996,  the Company had 1.2 million  issued and  outstanding
shares  of Series A  Cumulative  Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  (the
"Series  A  Preferred  Stock").  The  Liquidation  Preference  totaled  $45.4 at
December 31, 1996. On December 30, 1996,  the Company called all of its Series A
Preferred  Stock for redemption and  subsequently  redeemed the stock in January
1997 at an aggregate redemption price of $45.4.

The aggregate  net proceeds to the Company for the Series A Preferred  Stock and
the Series A Warrants  issued on  December  20,  1993 were  $27.2.  The  Company
allocated $10.3 and $16.9 of this amount to the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series A Warrants,  respectively, based on management's estimate of the relative
fair values of these securities at the time of their issuance, using information
provided  by the  Company's  investment  bankers.  The  difference  between  the
initially recorded amount and the redemption amount was accreted to the carrying
value of the Series A Preferred  Stock using the interest method over the period
from issuance to the mandatory  redemption date,  December 31, 2000. As a result
of calling all of the stock for  redemption  on December 30, 1996,  the carrying
value of the Series A Preferred Stock was further  adjusted for increases in the
Liquidation  Preference.  There was no  accretion  recorded  in 1997.  The total
accretion recorded in 1996 and 1995 was $22.9 and $7.3, respectively.

Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1996,  the Company had 38.8 thousand  issued and  outstanding
shares  of Series B  Cumulative  Redeemable  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  (the
"Series B Preferred  Stock").  These shares  constituted  the remaining  balance
outstanding  of the Series B Preferred  Stock issued to certain  individuals  on
December  9, 1994 in  consideration  for the  early  termination  of a  contract
between the Company and KCS Industries,  L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership
("KCS"),  a related  party.  On December 30, 1997 all 38.8 thousand  outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred  Stock were  converted  by the holder  thereof into
87.3 thousand shares of common stock.


NOTE K -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Common Stock. The Company's  certificate of incorporation was amended in October
1993 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01
(the "Common Stock"),  to 30.0 million. As of December 31, 1997, there were 20.5
million shares issued and  outstanding.  Of the 9.5 million  unissued  shares at
that date,  1.7 million  shares were  reserved  for issuance for the exercise of
stock options and Series A Warrants.

Equity  Rights.  On May 9, 1995,  the  Company  sold one million  equity  rights
securities (the "Equity  Rights") along with $250 of the 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'  equity (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

<PAGE>
                                       22


Stock  that  would have to be issued in the event  holders  exercise  the Equity
Rights.  As of December  31,  1997,  the Current  Price of the Common  Stock was
$21.891,  which  would have  required  the  Company to either pay $14.6 or issue
621.4 thousand  shares of Common Stock,  at the Company's  option,  in the event
that all of the holders had exercised their Equity Rights.

Series A Warrants.  In  connection  with the private  placement  of the Series A
Preferred Stock (see Note J -- "Series A Preferred  Stock"),  the Company issued
1.3 million Series A Warrants of which 66.4 thousand  warrants were  outstanding
at December 31,  1997.  Each Series A Warrant may be  exercised,  in whole or in
part,  at the option of the holder at any time  before  the  expiration  date on
December 31, 2000 and is redeemable by the Company under certain  circumstances.
As of December  31,  1997,  upon the exercise or  redemption  of a Warrant,  the
holder thereof was entitled to receive 2.41 shares of Common Stock. The exercise
price for the  Warrants  is $.01 for each share of Common  Stock.  The number of
shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon exercise or redemption of the Warrants is
subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Series B Warrants.  In  connection  with the  issuance of the Series B Preferred
Stock (see Note J -- "Series B  Preferred  Stock"),  the  Company  issued  107.0
thousand Series B Warrants. At December 31, 1997, all Series B Warrants had been
exercised. The exercise price for the Warrants was $.01 for each share of Common
Stock.

Stock Options.  The Company maintains a qualified incentive stock option ("ISO")
plan covering certain officers and key employees.  The exercise price of the ISO
is the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant.  The ISO allows the
holder to purchase shares of Common Stock,  commencing one year after grant. ISO
expire after ten years.  At December 31, 1997,  11.1 thousand stock options were
available for grant under the ISO.

Long-Term  Incentive  Plans. In May 1996, the  shareholders  approved,  the 1996
Terex  Corporation  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan (the "1996 Plan").  The 1996 Plan
authorizes  the  granting of (i)  options  ("Stock  Option  Awards") to purchase
shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock,
including  Restricted Stock ("Stock Awards"),  and (iii) cash bonus awards based
upon  a  participant's  job  performance  ("Performance  Awards").   Subject  to
adjustment  as described  below under  "Adjustments,"  the  aggregate  number of
shares of Common Stock (including  Restricted Stock, if any) optioned or granted
under the 1996 Plan was not to exceed  300  thousand  shares.  In May 1997,  the
shareholders  approved that the aggregate  number of shares  available under the
1996 Plan be  increased  to 1.0 million  shares.  At December  31,  1997,  489.5
thousand  shares were  available  for grant  under the 1996 Plan.  The 1996 Plan
provides that a committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors consisting
of two or more members thereof who are non-employee directors,  shall administer
the 1996 Plan and has provided the Committee with the  flexibility to respond to
changes  in the  competitive  and legal  environments,  thereby  protecting  and
enhancing  the  Company's  current  and future  ability  to  attract  and retain
directors and officers and other key employees  and  consultants.  The 1996 Plan
also  provides  for  automatic  grants of Stock  Option  Awards to  non-employee
directors.

In 1994,  the  shareholders  approved a Long-Term  Incentive  Plan (the  "Plan")
covering  certain  managerial,  administrative  and  professional  employees and
outside directors. The Plan provides for awards to employees,  from time to time
and as determined by a committee of outside  directors,  of cash bonuses,  stock
options,  stock  and/or  restricted  stock.  The  total  number of shares of the
Company's  common stock  available to be awarded under the Plan is 750 thousand,
subject to certain adjustments.  At December 31, 1997, 15.6 thousand shares were
available for grant under the Plan.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."
In accordance  with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company  applies APB Opinion
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related  interpretations
in accounting for its plans and does not recognize  compensation expense for its
stock-based  compensation  plans other than for restricted stock. If the Company
had elected to recognize  compensation  expense based upon the fair value at the
grant  date for  awards  under  these  plans  consistent  with  the  methodology
prescribed  by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced by
$1.1 ($0.07 (basic) and $0.06 (diluted) per share), $0.6 ($0.05 (basic) and 0.04
(diluted)  per share) and $0.6 ($0.06  (basic and  diluted)  per share) in 1997,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

                                       24


The fair value for these  options was  estimated  at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes   option-pricing   model  with  the   following   weighted-average
assumptions for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: dividend yields of 0%, 0% and
0%; expected volatility of 57.50%,  58.72% and 63.76%;  risk-free interest rates
of 6.34%,  6.42% and 5.57%;  and expected  life of 8.1 years,  6.6 years and 8.6
years.  The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1997, 1996 and
1995 for which the exercise  price equals the market price on the grant date was
$1.7, $0.4 and $1.6, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective  assumptions  including the expected stock price volatility.  Because
the  Company's  employee  stock  options  have   characteristics   significantly
different from those of traded  options,  and because  changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.


NOTE L -- RETIREMENT PLANS

Pension Plans

US Plans - The Company  maintains  four defined  benefit  pension plans covering
certain  domestic  employees.  The benefits for the plans  covering the salaried
employees  are based  primarily  on years of service and  employees'  qualifying
compensation during the final years of employment. Participation in the plan for
salaried  employees was frozen as of May 7, 1993,  and no  participants  will be
credited with service  following  such date except that  participants  not fully
vested will be credited with service for purposes of  determining  vesting only.
The benefits for the plans covering the hourly  employees are based primarily on
years  of  service  and a flat  dollar  amount  per year of  service.  It is the
Company's policy generally to fund these plans based on the minimum requirements
of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974  (ERISA).  Plan assets
consist primarily of common stocks, bonds, and short-term cash equivalent funds.

Pension expense includes the following components for 1997, 1996 and 1995:

The  expected  long-term  rate of return on plan  assets was 9% for the  periods
presented.  The discount rate  assumption  was 7.0% for 1997,  7.5% for 1996 and
7.5% for 1995.

In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions,"  the Company has recorded an adjustment of $1.8 and $2.0 to recognize
a minimum pension  liability at December 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  This
liability is offset by a direct reduction of stockholders' equity (deficit).

In December 1993, Terex  contributed 350.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock
to the Master Trust for the benefit of two of the Terex plans, which were valued
by the  Company at $2.3 based  upon  96.5% of the market  value of Terex  Common
Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of  contribution.  The
market value of this investment was $8.2 at December 31, 1997.

International Plans - TEL maintains a  government-required  defined benefit plan
(which includes certain defined  contribution  elements) covering  substantially
all of its  management  employees.  This plan is fully funded.  Pension  expense
relating to this plan was approximately  $0.5, $0.4 and $0.3 for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Terex Aerials  Limited  (Ireland)  maintains a voluntary,  defined  pension plan
covering its employees.  Pension expense relating to this plan was approximately
$0.1 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Saving Plans

The Company  sponsors  various tax deferred  savings  plans into which  eligible
employees may elect to contribute a portion of their  compensation.  The Company
may, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans.

Other Postemployment Benefits

The  Company  provides  postemployment  health and life  insurance  benefits  to
certain  former  salaried  and  hourly  employees  of  Terex  Cranes  -  Waverly
Operations.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  106,  "Employers'  Accounting  for
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," on January 1, 1993. This statement
requires  accrual of  postretirement  benefits  (such as health  care  benefits)
during the years an employee provides service.

Terex  adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS No. 106 using the  delayed  recognition
method, whereby the amount of the unrecognized  transition obligation at January
1, 1993 is recognized prospectively as a component of future years' net periodic
postretirement  benefit  expense.  The  unrecognized  transition  obligation  at
January 1, 1993 was $4.5. Terex is amortizing this transition obligation over 12
years, the average remaining life expectancy of the participants.  The liability
of the Company, as of December 31, was as follows:

                                                         1997          1996

Health care trend  rates used in the  actuarial  assumptions  range from 9.0% to
11.5% These rates decrease to 5.5% over a period of 8 to 9 years.  The effect of
a one  percentage-point  change in the health care cost trend rates would change
the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit  obligation  approximately  4.8%.  The
discount  rate  used  in  determining  the  accumulated  postretirement  benefit
obligation was 7.5% for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

Net periodic  postretirement  benefit expense includes the following  components
for 1997 and 1996:

                                     Year ended December 31,

                                  ============= ==============


The Company's  postretirement  benefit  obligations are not funded. Net periodic
postretirement  benefit  expense for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 was approximately  $0.1, $0.3 and $0.6 greater on the accrual basis than it
would have been on the cash basis.


NOTE M -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

In the  Company's  lines of  business  numerous  suits have been filed  alleging
damages  for  accidents  that have  arisen in the  normal  course of  operations
involving the Company's  products.  The Company is  self-insured,  up to certain
limits, for these product liability exposures,  as well as for certain exposures
related to general,  workers' compensation and automobile  liability.  Insurance
coverage is obtained for catastrophic  losses as well as those risks required to
be insured by law or  contract.  The  Company  has  recorded  and  maintains  an
estimated  liability  in the amount of  management's  estimate of the  Company's
aggregate exposure for such self-insured risks.

The Company is involved in various other legal  proceedings which have arisen in
the normal course of its  operations.  The Company has recorded  provisions  for
estimated  losses in  circumstances  where a loss is probable  and the amount or
range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.

The Company's outstanding letters of credit totaled $13.8. The letters of credit
generally  serve  as  collateral  for  certain   liabilities   included  in  the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain of the letters of credit serve as collateral
guaranteeing the Company's performance under contracts.

As  described  in Note I -- "Income  Taxes,"  the  Internal  Revenue  Service is
currently examining the Company's federal tax returns for the years 1987 through
1989.

                                       27


The Company has agreed to indemnify  certain  outside parties for losses related
to a former subsidiary's worker compensation obligations. Some of the claims for
which Terex is  contingently  obligated  are also  covered by bonds issued by an
insurance  company.  The  Company  recorded  liabilities  for  these  contingent
obligations representing management's estimate of the potential losses which the
Company might incur.


NOTE N -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman had retired from his
position  with the Company and its Board of Directors.  In  connection  with his
retirement, the Company (upon the recommendation of a committee comprised of its
independent  Directors and  represented by  independent  counsel) and the former
chairman have executed a retirement  agreement providing certain benefits to the
former chairman and the Company. The agreement provides, among other things, for
a five-year consulting  engagement requiring the former chairman to make himself
available to the Company to provide consulting  services for certain portions of
his time. The former  chairman,  or his designee,  received a fee for consulting
services which  included  payments in an amount,  and a rate,  equal to his 1995
base salary until  December 31, 1996.  The  agreement  also provides for the (i)
granting of a five-year  $1.8 million  loan bearing  interest at 6.56% per annum
which is subject to being forgiven in increments  over the five-year term of the
agreement  upon  certain  conditions,  and (ii) equity  grants  having a maximum
potential of 200.0 thousand  shares of Terex Common Stock  conditioned  upon the
Company achieving certain financial performance objectives in the future. During
1997 the former  chairman  received  150.0  thousand  shares of common  stock in
accordance  with this  agreement.  In  contemplation  of the  execution  of this
retirement agreement,  the Company advanced to the former chairman the principal
amount of the forgivable  loan.  During 1997 and 1996, the Company  forgave $0.6
and  $0.4,  respectively,  of  principal  on the loan  along  with  the  current
interest.  The former  chairman has also agreed not to compete with the Company,
to vote his Terex shares in the manner  recommended  by the  Company's  Board of
Directors  and not to acquire  any  additional  shares of the  Company's  Common
Stock.

The Company, certain directors and executives of the Company, and KCS, have been
named  parties in various legal  proceedings.  During 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the
Company incurred $0.2, $0.3 and $0.3,  respectively,  of legal fees and expenses
on behalf of the Company, directors and executives of the Company, and KCS named
in the lawsuits.

On  December  31,  1997,  an officer and  director of the Company  retired as an
officer.  In connection with his retirement,  the Company and the former officer
entered into an agreement  providing  certain benefits to the former officer and
the Company.  Pursuant to the agreement, the former officer received an award of
5.0 thousand shares of Common Stock in  consideration of his years of service to
the Company.  The agreement also provides for a two-year  consulting  engagement
requiring the former officer to make himself available to the Company to provide
consulting services for a certain portion of his time, for such services he will
receive a  consulting  fee equal to his base salary in 1997 of $0.3 for services
provided in 1998 and $0.1 for services provided in 1999.

In  1997,  the  Company  invested  $0.1  in a  company  ("Investee")  which  was
reorganizing after declaring  bankruptcy.  Subsequent to the initial investment,
the Company was required to make an  additional  investment  in  Investee.  As a
result,  the Company  elected not to continue its investment in Investee and not
to make the additional required investment. A director of the Company and one of
his business  associates,  acquired the Company's investment in Investee for the
amount  invested by the Company and assumed the  Company's  obligations  to make
additional investments in Investee.

In 1995, the Company retained Jefferies & Company,  Inc., of which a director of
the Company was then Executive Vice  President,  in connection with the offering
of the  Company's  $250 Senior  Secured Notes and  acquisition  of PPM which was
completed  in  May  1995.  Jefferies  &  Company,  Inc.  was  paid  $9.2  as  an
underwriting discount and for services rendered.

The Company requires that all  transactions  with affiliates be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained in comparable  transactions with
an  unrelated  person.  The Board is advised  in  advance  of any such  proposed
transaction or agreement and utilizes such procedures in evaluating  their terms
and provisions as are appropriate in light of the Board's fiduciary duties under
Delaware law. In addition,  the Company has an Audit Committee consisting solely
of outside directors.  One of the  responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to
review related party transactions.

NOTE Q -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 31, 1998, the Company  purchased all of the  outstanding  shares of O&K
Mining GmbH ("O&K Mining") from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG ("Orenstein & Koppel")
for net  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $168,  subject  to certain
post-closing  adjustments.  The transaction was financed through the issuance of
the Company's New Senior  Subordinated  Notes (as defined  below) and borrowings
under the  Company's new $500 global bank credit  facility,  the New Bank Credit
Facility  (as  defined  below).  O&K  Mining,  which  will be part of the  Terex
Earthmoving  segment, is headquartered in Dortmund,  Germany, and has operations
in the United States, the United Kingdom,  Australia,  Canada,  South Africa and
Singapore. O&K Mining markets a complete range of large hydraulic mining shovels
serving the global  surface  mining  industry  and the global  construction  and
infrastructure development markets.

On March 6, 1998, the Company  refinanced its 1997 Credit  Facility and redeemed
or defeased all of its $166.7 principal  amount of its then  outstanding  Senior
Secured Notes.  The refinancing  included  effectiveness  of a revolving  credit
facility  aggregating up to $125.0 and term loan facilities  providing for loans
in an aggregate  principal amount of up to approximately  $375.0  (collectively,
the "New Bank Credit  Facility").  In  connection  with the  refinancing  of the
Company's  1997 Bank Credit  Facility and the  repurchase of the Senior  Secured
Notes,   the  Company   incurred   extraordinary   losses  of  $1.9  and  $36.4,
respectively.  These extraordinary charges will be recorded in the first quarter
of 1998.

On March 31, 1998, the Company issued and sold $150.0 aggregate principal amount
of 8-7/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008  (the "New  Senior  Subordinated
Notes").  The New Senior  Subordinated  Notes were issued in a private placement
made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of
1933,  as amended.  The net proceeds  from the  offering  will be used to fund a
portion of the aggregate consideration for the acquisition of O&K Mining and for
general working capital purposes.

Ares Leverage  Investment Fund L.P. ("Ares"),  an affiliate of a director of the
Company,  participated  as a lender  under the New Bank Credit  Facility for the
amount of $15.0. Ares also received a fee of less than $0.1 for participating as
a lender under the New Bank Credit  Facility.  Participation by Ares as a lender
under the New Bank  Credit  Facility  was made in the  ordinary  course of Ares'
business  and on the same terms as all other  lenders  under the New Bank Credit
Facility.

Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce,  an affiliate of CIBC Oppenheimer  Corp., of
which a  director  of the  Company is a managing  director,  is a lender  with a
commitment of up to $37.5 and a Co-Documentation Agent under the New Bank Credit
Facility.  Canadian  Imperial Bank of Commerce received a fee of $0.8 for acting
as Co-Documentation  Agent under the New Bank Credit Facility.  Participation by
Canadian  Imperial  Bank of  Commerce  as a lender  under  the New  Bank  Credit
Facility was made in the  ordinary  course of its business and on the same terms
as all other  lenders  under the New Bank Credit  Facility.  In  addition,  CIBC
Oppenheimer Corp. was retained by the Company in connection with the offering of
the New  Senior  Subordinated  Notes.  CIBC  was  paid  $0.5 as an  underwriting
discount upon issuance of the New Senior Subordinated Notes.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1998

                      (in millions, unless otherwise noted)


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis  of  Presentation.   The  accompanying  unaudited  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements of Terex Corporation and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998
and for the three  months  ended March 31,  1998 and 1997 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, 1997,  has been  derived from the audited  consolidated  balance
sheet as of that date.

The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Terex
Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company").  All
material intercompany balances, transactions and profits have been eliminated.

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, 1998
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December 31, 1998. 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, 1997.

In the first  quarter  of 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." SFAS
No. 130 requires disclosure of total non-shareowner changes in equity in interim
periods and additional  disclosures of the components of non-shareowner  changes
in equity on an annual basis. Total non-shareowner changes in equity include all
changes in equity during a period except those  resulting from  investments  by,
and distributions to, shareowners.  The specific components include: net income,
deferred  gains and losses  resulting  from  foreign  currency  translation  and
minimum pension liability adjustments. For the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and
March 31, 1997, total non-shareowner  changes in equity were ($31.9) and ($2.0),
respectively.


NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS

On January 5, 1998,  the  Company  completed  the  purchase of  Payhauler  Corp.
("Payhauler").  Payhauler manufactures  four-wheel drive off-highway trucks. The
operating  results of  Payhauler  are  included  in the  Company's  consolidated
results of operations since January 5, 1998.

On March 31, 1998, the Company  purchased all of the  outstanding  shares of O&K
Mining GmbH ("O&K Mining") from O&K Orenstein & Koppel AG ("Orenstein & Koppel")
for net  aggregate  consideration  of  approximately  $168,  subject  to certain
post-closing  adjustments.  The transaction was financed through the issuance of
the Company's New Senior  Subordinated  Notes (as defined  below) and borrowings
under the Company's  New Bank Credit  Facility (as defined  below).  O&K Mining,
which  will  be part of the  Terex  Earthmoving  segment,  is  headquartered  in
Dortmund,  Germany, and has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom,
Australia,  Canada,  South Africa and  Singapore.  O&K Mining markets a complete
range of large  hydraulic  mining  shovels  serving  the global  surface  mining
industry and the global construction and infrastructure development markets.

On March 6, 1998, the Company  redeemed or defeased all of its $166.7  principal
amount  of its then  outstanding  13-1/4%  Senior  Secured  Notes  due 2002 (the
"Senior Secured  Notes").  Concurrently  therewith,  the Company also refinanced
substantially  all of its then existing  domestic and foreign  revolving  credit
debt.  The  proceeds  for the offer to purchase  and the  repayment  of its then
existing  revolving  credit  facility were obtained  from  borrowings  under the
Company's new $500.0 global bank credit  facility ("New Bank Credit  Facility").
In  connection  with the  refinancing  of the  Company's  then  existing  credit

                                       43


facility and the repurchase of the Senior Secured  Notes,  the Company  incurred
extraordinary losses of $1.9 and $36.4, respectively. These extraordinary losses
have been recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

The New Bank Credit Facility  consists of a new secured global  revolving credit
facility  aggregating up to $125.0 (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") and two
term loan facilities  (collectively,  the "Term Loan Facilities")  providing for
loans in an aggregate  principal amount of up to approximately  $375.0.  The New
Revolving Credit Facility will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes,  including acquisitions.  With limited exceptions,  the obligations of
the Borrowers  under the New Bank Credit Facility are secured by (i) a pledge of
all of the capital stock of domestic  subsidiaries of the Company, (ii) a pledge
of 65% of the stock of the foreign subsidiaries of the Company and (iii) a first
priority security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all of the assets
of Terex and its domestic  subsidiaries.  The New Bank Credit Facility  contains
covenants limiting the Borrowers'  activities,  including,  without  limitation,
limitations on dividends and other payments, liens,  investments,  incurrence of
indebtedness,  mergers and asset sales,  related party  transactions and capital
expenditures.  The New Bank Credit Facility also contains certain  financial and
operating  covenants,  including a maximum  leverage  ratio, a minimum  interest
coverage ratio and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities,  the Borrowers have borrowed (i) $175.0 in
aggregate principal amount pursuant to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the "Term A
Loan") and (ii) $200.0 in aggregate  principal  amount pursuant to a Term Loan B
due March 2005 (the "Term B Loan"). The outstanding principal amount of the Term
A Loan currently  bears interest,  at the applicable  Borrower's  option,  at an
all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the adjusted  eurodollar  rate
or, with respect to U.S.  dollar  denominated  alternate based rate loans, at an
all-in  drawn  cost of  1.00%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The
outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan currently bears interest, at the
Company's  option,  at a rate of 2.50%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  adjusted
eurodollar rate or, with respect to U.S. Dollar denominated  alternate base rate
loans,  1.50% in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The Term A Loan  amortizes  on a
quarterly  basis,  in the annual  percentages of 0%, 16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%,
respectively, during the six-year term of the loan. The Term B Loan amortizes in
an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first six years of the term of the
loan and 94% in the  seventh  year of the term of the loan.  The Term A Loan and
Term B Loan are subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances and are
voluntarily prepayable without payment of a premium (subject to reimbursement of
the lenders'  costs in case of prepayment of eurodollar  loans other than on the
last day of an interest period.)

Pursuant to the New Revolving Credit  Facility,  the Borrowers have available an
aggregate  amount of up to $125.0.  The  outstanding  principal  amount of loans
under the New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  bears  interest,  at the  applicable
Borrower's  option,  at an all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the
adjusted eurocurrency rate or, with respect to U.S. dollar denominated alternate
base rate  loans,  at an all-in  drawn  cost of 1.00% per annum in excess of the
prime rate.  The New  Revolving  Credit  Facility  will  terminate  on the sixth
anniversary thereof.

On March 31, 1998, the Company issued and sold $150.0 aggregate principal amount
of 8-7/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2008  (the "New  Senior  Subordinated
Notes").  The New Senior  Subordinated  Notes were issued in a private placement
made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund a portion
of the aggregate  consideration of the acquisition of O&K Mining and for general
working capital purposes.

The O&K Mining and Payhauler (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  $54.2) is being  amortized  on a
straight-line basis over 40 years.

The estimated fair values of assets and  liabilities  acquired in the O&K Mining
and Payhauler acquisitions are summarized as follows:

    Accounts receivable..................................       38.5

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.

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
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 ("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 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 raised 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. In June 1996, the
Company  was  advised  that the  matter  was  being  referred  back to the audit
division of the IRS. The IRS is currently reviewing  information provided by the
Company.  The ultimate  outcome of this matter is subject to the  resolution  of

<PAGE>
                                       45


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  March 31, 1998 of  approximately  $98.6.  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 10%  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  might  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.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of PPM Cranes, Inc.


In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet and the related
consolidated  statements of  operations,  of  shareholders'  deficit and of cash
flows present fairly, in all material  respects,  the financial  position of PPM
Cranes, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash  flows for the  years  then  ended and the
eight-month  period ended  December  31,  1995,  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 audits.  We conducted  our
audits 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
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1997

                            (In millions of dollars)


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

PPM Cranes, Inc. (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. Prior to the acquisition of Legris
Industries,  Inc. by Terex Cranes, Inc. on May 9, 1995, Legris Industries,  Inc.
was a holding company, with no assets, liabilities, or operations other than its
investment in PPM.

The 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.


NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation.  The 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 of PPM Far East Private Ltd.

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.

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

Property, Plant and Equipment.  Additions and major replacements or improvements
to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance,  repairs and
minor  replacements are charged to expense when incurred.  Assets of the Company
are  depreciated  using the  straight-line  method over their  estimated  useful
lives, which range from three to twenty years.

Goodwill. 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 amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years.
Accumulated  amortization  is $3.5  and $2.2 at  December  31,  1997  and  1996,
respectively.

Debt  Issuance  Costs.  Debt issuance  costs  incurred by Terex  Corporation  in
securing the financing  related to acquiring  the Company have been  capitalized
and are reflected in the financial  statements.  Capitalized debt issuance costs
are amortized  over the term of the related debt.  Accumulated  amortization  is
$1.2 and $0.8 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

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


<PAGE>
                                       57


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.

Product  Liability  and  Warranty.  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  self-insurance  accruals for estimated product liability experience on
claims and for claims  anticipated to have been incurred which have not yet been
reported.  Prior to August 1, 1995,  the Company  maintained  product  liability
insurance;  therefore,  the product liability accrual was equal to the estimated
product  liability less expected  recoveries under insurance  policies.  Product
liability payments,  including expenses,  are estimated to be approximately $2.0
per year.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance
with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting
for Income  Taxes." The  Company is a part of a group that files a  consolidated
income tax return.  The method used to allocate  income  taxes to members of the
group is one in which  current and  deferred  income taxes are  calculated  on a
separate  return basis as if the Company had not been included in a consolidated
income  tax  return  with  its  parent.  The tax  benefit  associated  with  the
acquisition debt has been taken into account in the Company's tax provision.

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.

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 the Cumulative  Translation  Adjustment component
of  Stockholders'  Deficit.  Gains or (losses)  resulting from foreign  currency
transactions  amounted  to  $(0.4),  $0,  and  $0.1  in  1997,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.

Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge
recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain  international  operations and
firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into
speculative contracts.  Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are
recognized  in income as  offsets to the gains and  losses  from the  underlying
hedged amounts.  Gains and losses on hedges of firm  commitments are recorded on
the basis of the underlying transaction. At December 31, 1997 the Company had no
material outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

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, 1997 and 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 amounted to $0.1,  $0.1 and $0.1 in 1997,  1996 and
1995, respectively.


NOTE C -- IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

The Company  adopted SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets  and  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  of," in 1996.  This  statement
establishes accounting standards for determining impairment of long-lived assets
and long-lived  assets to be disposed of. The Company assesses the realizability
of its  long-lived  assets and  evaluates  such assets for  impairment  whenever

<PAGE>
                                       58


events or changes in  circumstances  indicate  that the carrying  amount of such
assets (or group of assets) may not be  recoverable.  For assets in use or under
development, impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future cash flow
associated with the asset,  undiscounted and without interest  charges,  is less
than the  carrying  amount of the asset.  When the  estimated  future  cash flow
indicates that the carrying amount of the asset will not be recovered, the asset
is written down to its fair value.

As required by generally accepted accounting principles,  goodwill was allocated
in the PPM  Acquisition to various  operating  units.  After eighteen  months of
continuous rationalization, estimated future undiscounted cash flows for certain
U.S. operations would not be sufficient to recover the goodwill and fixed assets
recorded for these  operations.  Thus, in the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company
recorded an impairment charge of $13.5.  These 1996 impairment  charges totaling
$13.5 are included in "Cost of Goods Sold."

The Senior Secured Notes

On May 9, 1995, Terex Corporation issued $250 of 13.25% Senior Secured Notes due
May 15, 2002. The 13.25% Senior  Secured Notes were issued in  conjunction  with
Terex Corporation's acquisition of substantially all of the capital stock of PPM
Cranes, Inc. and P.P.M. S.A. and the refinancing of Terex Corporation's debt. Of
the total principal amount $50 relates to the acquisition of  substantially  all
of the capital stock of PPM Cranes,  Inc. and has been included in the Company's
balance  sheet.  Except  in the  event of  certain  asset  sales,  there  are no
principal  repayment or sinking fund requirements  prior to maturity.  The notes
bear  interest at 13 1/4% per annum.  Prior to the  consummation  of an exchange
offer on November 4, 1996, the interest rate on the notes was 13 3/4% per annum.
Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year  comprised of twelve  30-day
months.

Repayments of the 13.25% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by certain domestic
subsidiaries of Terex Corporation (the "Guarantors"), including PPM Cranes, Inc.
The  13.25%  Senior  Secured  Notes are  secured  by a first  priority  security
interest  on  substantially  all of the  assets  of  Terex  Corporation  and the
Guarantors,  other than cash and cash  equivalents,  except  that as to accounts
receivable and inventory and proceeds thereof,  and certain related rights, such
security shall be subordinated to liens securing  obligations  outstanding under
any  working  capital or  revolving  credit  facility  secured by such  accounts
receivable  and  inventory.  The indenture  for the 13.25% Senior  Secured Notes
places  certain  limits  on Terex  Corporation's  ability  to  incur  additional
indebtedness;  permit the existence of liens;  issue, pay dividends on or redeem
equity securities; sell assets; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another
entity; and enter into transactions with affiliates.

Note payable - Harnischfeger Corporation

The note payable to Harnischfeger Corporation is not interest bearing.

                                ===============  ==============  ============

Based on quoted market values,  the Company  believes that the fair value of the
Senior  Secured  Notes was  approximately  $56.6 as of December  31,  1997.  The
Company believes that, based on quoted market values,  the carrying value of its
other borrowings  approximates  fair market value,  based on discounting  future
cash  flows  using  rates  currently  available  for debt of  similar  terms and
remaining maturities.


NOTE G -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company  participates in a defined  contribution  plan which is sponsored by
Terex Corporation.  The plan covers U.S. employees.  Under the plan, the Company
matches a portion of an employee's contribution to the plan. The related expense
to the Company was $0.1, $0.1 and $0.1 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The  Company has no  provision  for  federal,  foreign  and state  income  taxes
(benefit).

The Company has not provided deferred taxes on $0.9 of cumulative  undistributed
earnings of foreign  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 as these earnings will
be either permanently  re-invested or remitted  substantially free of additional
income tax.

Deferred  tax assets and  liabilities  result from  differences  in the basis of
assets and liabilities for tax and financial statements purposes.  In accordance
with SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting  for income taxes," a valuation  allowance fully
offsetting the net deferred tax asset, has been  recognized.  The tax effects of
the basis differences and Net Operating Loss ("NOL") carryforward as of December
31, 1997 and 1996 are summarized below:

The valuation  allowance  for deferred tax assets at  acquisition  date,  May 9,
1995, was $22.7. Any future reduction of this valuation  allowance  attributable
to the  pre-acquisition  period  will  reduce  goodwill.  The net  change in the
valuation  allowance for 1997, 1996 and for the eight months ending December 31,
1995 was a decrease of $3.1 and an increase of $1.2 and $0.7, respectively.

At December 31, 1997, the Company has loss  carryforwards for federal income tax
purposes of approximately  $48.3 available to offset future taxable income.  The
expiration of the Company's loss carryforwards are as follows:


      Year

      Total   .................  $     48.3
                                 =============


The  utilization  of  approximately  $42.8  of  loss  carryforwards  is  limited
annually, as a result of an "ownership change" (as defined by Section 382 of the
Internal  Revenue  code),  which  occurred  in 1995.  Further,  the use of these
pre-acquisition losses is limited to future taxable income of PPM Cranes, Inc.

The  Company's  provision  for income taxes is  different  from the amount which
would be provided  by  applying  the  statutory  federal  income tax rate to the
Company's  loss  before  income  taxes.  The  reasons  for  the  difference  are
summarized below:

There were no income taxes paid during 1997, 1996 and 1995.


NOTE I -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company 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
1997, 1996 and 1995 was $0.4, $0.7 and $0.6, respectively.

Future minimum  payments under  noncancelable  operating  leases at December 31,
1997 are as follows:

    1998...................................... $     0.4
    1999......................................       0.2

The Company is involved in product  liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation  of its  business.  Insurance  with third  parties is  maintained  for
certain of these items. It is  management's  opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.


NOTE J -- FOREIGN OPERATIONS

Summarized financial data relating to the foreign  subsidiaries  included in the
accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements at December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995 are as follows:

                                           1997         1996         1995

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into
United States dollars at year-end exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of financial  statements of the foreign subsidiaries and translation
gains or losses related to long-term  intercompany  investments  are included in
the foreign currency translation adjustments account in shareholders' deficit.


NOTE K -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended  December  31, 1997 and 1996 and the eight  months  ended
December  1995,  the  Company  had  transactions  with  various   unconsolidated
affiliates as follows:


                                                1997        1996        1995

    Interest expense.........................$    6.5    $    7.5    $   4.8
  


Included in  management  fee expense are expenses paid by Terex  Corporation  on
behalf of the Company (e.g. Legal, Treasury and Tax Expense).


NOTE L -- SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On March 6, 1998,  Terex  Corporation  redeemed  or  defeased  all of its $166.7
principal amount of its then  outstanding  13-1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002
(the "Senior Secured  Notes").  The Company had $50.0 in principal of the Senior
Secured Notes that were redeemed. Concurrently therewith, Terex Corporation also
refinanced substantially all of its then existing domestic and foreign revolving
credit debt.  The  proceeds  for the offer to purchase and the  repayment of its
then existing  revolving  credit  facility were obtained from  borrowings  under
Terex  Corporation's  new $500.0 global bank credit  facility  ("New Bank Credit
Facility").  In connection with the repurchase of the Senior Secured Notes,  the
Company incurred an extraordinary loss of $10.9. This extraordinary loss will be
recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

The New Bank Credit Facility  consists of a new secured global  revolving credit
facility  aggregating up to $125.0 (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") and two
term loan facilities  (collectively,  the "Term Loan Facilities")  providing for
loans in an  aggregate  principal  amount of up to  approximately  $375.0.  With
limited  exceptions,  the  obligations  under the New Bank Credit  Facility  are
secured by (i) a pledge of all of the capital stock of domestic  subsidiaries of
Terex Corporation, (ii) a pledge of 65% of the stock of the foreign subsidiaries
of Terex  Corporation  and (iii) a first  priority  security  interest  in,  and
mortgages  on,  substantially  all of the  assets  of  Terex  and  its  domestic
subsidiaries.  The New Bank Credit Facility  contains  covenants  limiting Terex


<PAGE>
                                       63


Corporation's  activities,   including,   without  limitation,   limitations  on
dividends and other payments,  liens,  investments,  incurrence of indebtedness,
mergers and asset sales,  related party  transactions and capital  expenditures.
The new Bank Credit  Facility  also  contains  certain  financial  and operating
covenants,  including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimu interest coverage ratio
and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities,  Terex Corporation has borrowed (i) $175.0
in  aggregate  principal  amount  pursuant  to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the
"Term A Loan") and (ii) $200.0 in aggregate  principal amount pursuant to a Term
Loan B due  March  2005 (the  "Term B  Loan").  On March 6,  1998,  the  Company
borrowed $60.0 pursuant to the Term B Loan. The outstanding  principal amount of
the Term A Loan currently bears interest,  at Terex Corporation's  option, at an
all-in drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of the adjusted  eurodollar  rate
or, with respect to U.S.  dollar  denominated  alternate based rate loans, at an
all-in  drawn  cost of  1.00%  per  annum  in  excess  of the  prime  rate.  The
outstanding  principal  amount of the Term B Loan currently bears  interest,  at
Terex  Corporation's  option,  at a rate of 2.50%  per  annum in  excess  of the
adjusted  eurodollar rate or, with respect to U.S. Dollar denominated  alternate
base rate loans, 1.50% in excess of the prime rate. The Term A Loan amortizes on
a quarterly basis, in the annual  percentages of 0%, 16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%,
respectively, during the six-year term of the loan. The Term B Loan amortizes in
an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first six years of the term of the
loan and 94% in the  seventh  year of the term of the loan.  The Term A Loan and
Term B Loan are subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances and are
voluntarily prepayable without payment of a premium (subject to reimbursement of
the lenders'  costs in case of prepayment of eurodollar  loans other than on the
last day of an interest period.)

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                          JANUARY 1 THROUGH MAY 9, 1995

                     (In millions unless otherwise denoted)


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

PPM Cranes, Inc. (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.


NOTE B -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation.  The 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.

Inventories.  Inventories  are  stated at the lower of cost or  market.  Cost is
determined by the last-in,  first-out (LIFO) method for domestic inventories and
by  the  first-in,   first-out   (FIFO)  method  for   inventories   of  foreign
subsidiaries.

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

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

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

Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes."

The  Company is a part of a group that files a  consolidated  income tax return.
The method used to allocate income taxes to members of the group is one in which
current and deferred  income taxes are calculated on a separate  return basis as
if the Company had not been  included in a  consolidated  income tax return with
its parent.

Revenue Recognition.  Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either  independently  owned and operated  dealers or to
customers.

Foreign   Currency   Translation.   Assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Company's
international operations are translated at period-end exchange rates. Income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing  during the period.
For operations  whose  functional  currency is the local  currency,  translation
adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative  Translation  Adjustment component
of Shareholders' Equity.

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.


NOTE C -- INVENTORIES

Inventories at May 9, 1995 consist of the following:

    Raw materials and parts................. $      19.3
    Work in process.........................         6.2
    Finished goods and sub assemblies.......         2.5
                                             -------------
                                             $      28.0
                                             =============


The LIFO value is approximately  equivalent to the  corresponding  FIFO value at
May 9, 1995.


NOTE D -- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Net property, plant and equipment at May 9, 1995 consists of the following:

    Property, plant and equipment........... $       7.5
    Less accumulated depreciation...........        (3.3)
                                             -------------

                                             =============


NOTE E -- CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in product  liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation  of its  business.  Insurance  with third  parties is  maintained  for
certain of these items. It is  management's  opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

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, 1998
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December  31,  1998.  For further  information,  refer to the  Company's
consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto  for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

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 D - LONG-TERM DEBT

On March 6, 1998,  Terex  Corporation  redeemed  or  defeased  all of its $166.7
principal amount of its then  outstanding  13-1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002
(the "Senior Secured  Notes").  The Company had $50.0 in principal of The Senior
Secured Notes that were redeemed. Concurrently therewith, Terex Corporation also
refinanced substantially all of its then existing domestic and foreign revolving
credit debt.  The  proceeds  for the offer to purchase and the  repayment of its
then existing  revolving  credit  facility were obtained from  borrowings  under
Terex  Corporation's  new $500.0 global bank credit  facility  ("New Bank Credit
Facility").  In connection with the repurchase of the Senior Secured Notes,  the
Company incurred an extraordinary  loss of $10.9.  This  extraordinary  loss has
been recorded in the first quarter of 1998.

The New Bank Credit Facility  consists of a new secured global  revolving credit
facility  aggregating up to $125.0 (the "New Revolving Credit Facility") and two
term loan facilities  (collectively,  the "Term Loan Facilities")  providing for
loans in an  aggregate  principal  amount of up to  approximately  $375.0.  With
limited  exceptions,  the  obligations  under the New Bank Credit  Facility  are
secured by (i) a pledge of all of the capital stock of domestic  subsidiaries of
Terex Corporation, (ii) a pledge of 65% of the stock of the foreign subsidiaries
of Terex  Corporation  and (iii) a first  priority  security  interest  in,  and
mortgages  on,  substantially  all of the  assets  of  Terex  and  its  domestic
subsidiaries.  The New Bank Credit Facility  contains  covenants  limiting Terex
Corporation's  activities,   including,   without  limitation,   limitations  on
dividends and other payments,  liens,  investments,  incurrence of indebtedness,
mergers and asset sales,  related party  transactions and capital  expenditures.
The new Bank Credit  Facility  also  contains  certain  financial  and operating
covenants,  including a maximum leverage ratio, a minimu interest coverage ratio
and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Pursuant to the Term Loan Facilities,  Terex Corporation has borrowed (i) $175.0
in  aggregate  principal  amount  pursuant  to a Term Loan A due March 2004 (the
"Term A Loan") and (ii) $200.0 in aggregate  principal amount pursuant to a Term
Loan B due March 2005 (the "Term B Loan"). As of March 31, 1998, the Company has
$60.0 of borrowings  outstanding  pursuant to the Term B Loan.  The  outstanding
principal  amount  of  the  Term A  Loan  currently  bears  interest,  at  Terex
Corporation's  option,  at an all-in  drawn cost of 2.00% per annum in excess of
the  adjusted  eurodollar  rate or,  with  respect  to U.S.  dollar  denominated
alternate based rate loans, at an all-in drawn cost of 1.00% per annum in excess
of the prime rate. The outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan currently
bears interest,  at Terex Corporation's  option, at a rate of 2.50% per annum in
excess  of the  adjusted  eurodollar  rate  or,  with  respect  to  U.S.  Dollar
denominated  alternate  base rate loans,  1.50% in excess of the prime rate. The
Term A Loan  amortizes on a quarterly  basis,  in the annual  percentages of 0%,
16%, 16%, 21%, 21% and 26%, respectively,  during the six-year term of the loan.
The Term B Loan amortizes in an annual percentage of 1% during each of the first
six years of the term of the loan and 94% in the seventh year of the term of the
loan.  The Term A Loan and Term B Loan are subject to  mandatory  prepayment  in
certain  circumstances  and are  voluntarily  prepayable  without  payment  of a
premium (subject to reimbursement of the lenders' costs in case of prepayment of
eurodollar loans other than on the last day of an interest period.)

NOTE E - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in product  liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation  of its  business.  Insurance  with third  parties is  maintained  for
certain of these items. It is  management's  opinion that none of these lawsuits
will have a materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

On March 31, 1998, Terex Corporation issued and sold $150.0 aggregate  principal
amount  of  8-7/8%  Senior   Subordinated   Notes  due  2008  (the  "New  Senior
Subordinated  Notes").  The  New  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  are  jointly  and
severally  guaranteed  by  Terex  Corporation  and  its  domestic  subsidiaries,
including PPM.
