                        Report of Independent Accountants




To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Terex Corporation and Affiliates
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related  statement  of  changes in net assets  available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects,  the net assets available for benefits
of the Terex  Corporation  and Affiliates  401(k)  Retirement  Savings Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the changes in net assets  available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity  with generally
accepted   accounting   principles.   These   financial   statements   are   the
responsibility  of the Plan'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.

Our audits  were  conducted  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are  presented  for the
purpose  of  additional  analysis  and are  not a  required  part  of the  basic
financial   statements  but  are  supplementary   information  required  by  the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  These  supplemental
schedules are the  responsibility  of the Plan's  management.  The  supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audits
of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material  respects  in  relation to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES'
401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         General - The  Terex  Corporation  and  Affiliates'  401(k)  Retirement
         Savings Plan (the "Plan"),  was  established on April 1, 1987. The Plan
         is a  defined  contribution  plan  that  covers  certain  salaried  and
         non-union  hourly  employees of Terex  Corporation and its subsidiaries
         ("Terex" or the "Company")  meeting minimum  eligibility  requirements.
         Certain   officers  of  Terex  serve  as  trustees  of  the  Plan  (the
         "Trustees").  The  investments  of the Plan  are held by  Massachusetts
         Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Mass Mutual"),  the Principal Financial
         Group ("Principal") and Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity").

         The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

         An  Administrative  Committee,  consisting  of at least  three  members
         appointed by the Company's Board of Directors,  administers the benefit
         structure of the Plan. The Company is considered the Plan Administrator
         for purposes of ERISA.

         Effective  January 1, 1998 the assets of the hourly- rate  employees at
         PPM  Cranes,   Inc.  were  transferred  from  the  Plan  to  the  Terex
         Corporation  and  Affiliates'   401(k)  Retirement   Savings  Plan  for
         Represented  Employees  under  the  terms  of a  negotiated  collective
         bargaining agreement.

         On January 5, 1998, the Company  completed the acquisition of Payhauler
         Corporation.  On April 15, 1998,  all of the assets from the  Payhauler
         Corporation 401(k) Plan were transferred into the Plan.

         Participant  Eligibility - Permanent  employees may begin participation
         on the first day of the month following their hiring.

         Participant  Contributions  - Participants  may contribute a maximum of
         16% of  their  compensation  to the Plan in any  combination  of pre or
         post-tax earnings. The maximum pre-tax contribution permitted under the
         Internal Revenue Service  regulations in 1998 was $10,000.  There is no
         limit  to  post-tax  contributions.  Participants  are  able to  direct
         current  contributions and redistribute  accumulated  contributions and
         earnings between investment funds.

         Employer  Contributions  - The Plan presently  provides that Terex will
         match  50% of the first 6% of the  salary  that is  contributed  to the
         plan. The contribution matched by Terex is made in Terex Common Stock.

         Vesting - Participants are immediately  fully vested in their voluntary
         contributions  plus any actual earnings  thereon.  Participants vest in
         the employer contribution after one year of eligible service.

         Forfeitures - Nonvested  employer  contributions of employees that have
         separated  from  the  Company  become  forfeitures  and  are  held in a
         separate   account  and  shall  be  used  to  reduce  future   employer
         contributions.  However,  employees  that return to service within five
         years from their  separation date will be entitled to continue  vesting
         on the employer contributions which were previously forfeited.

         Allocation  of Earnings - Each  participant's  account is credited with
         contributions  and  an  allocation  of  earnings  from  the  respective
         investment  funds. A participant's  contributions  are used to purchase
         shares in the various  investment  funds. The value of and the earnings
         credited  to a  participant's  account  are based on the  proportionate
         number of shares  owned by the  participant  and the fair  value of the
         investment on the valuation date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

         Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement,  disability or death, the entire
         balance of the participant's account becomes payable to the participant
         or designated  beneficiary.  Upon any other  termination of employment,
         the  participant  receives  the  vested  portion  of  his/her  account;
         however, if the vested portion of the participant's  account is greater
         than  $5,000  he/she  can  elect to keep the  investments  in the Plan.
         Withdrawals  are also permitted for financial  hardship,  as defined in
         the Plan, or upon  attainment of age 59 1/2.

         Participant  Loans -  Participants  may obtain loans in an amount up to
         the lesser of $50,000  or 50% of the  vested  portion of their  account
         balance,  subject  to the  discretion  of the  Plan  Administrator  and
         certain other  restrictions.  Terms of all loans are established by the
         Plan Administrator.

         Assets Held by Former Trustees- On April 1, 1995 the investment manager
         of the Plan was changed from  Fidelity to Mass  Mutual.  At the time of
         the  transfer  of Plan  assets  to Mass  Mutual,  certain  participants
         elected to maintain existing funds at Fidelity.  No additional employee
         or employer  contributions  are allowed to be made to these investments
         at Fidelity, nor are participants allowed to obtain loans against these
         accounts.

         Additionally,  certain  participants  maintain  retirement  accounts in
         Guaranteed  Investment Contracts ("GICs") maturing through December 31,
         2001 held by Principal,  the former custodian of an acquired  business.
         No additional employee or employer contributions are allowed to be made
         to the investments at Principal, nor are participants allowed to obtain
         loans against these accounts.

         The above brief  description  of the Plan is intended to give a general
         summary of the principal  provisions of the Plan.  Further  information
         about the Plan is contained in the Terex  Corporation  and  Affiliates'
         401(k) Retirement  Savings Plan Summary Plan Description.  This booklet
         is available from the Company.


2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Accounting - The accompanying  financial  statements have been
         prepared on the accrual  basis.

         Investments  - Plan  investments  in  mutual  funds,  common  stock and
         participant  loans are stated at fair value based  on published  market
         prices or other independent  sources.  The  GICs are stated at contract
         value which  approximates fair  value. Net appreciation  (depreciation)
         in  aggregate  fair value of  investments  is comprised of all realized
         and  unrealized gains and losses during the year.

         Expenses  - Fees and  expenses  related to  administering  the Plan are
         generally paid by Terex.

         Withdrawals - Withdrawals are recognized at the time of distribution to
         the participant.

         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.

4.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The  Internal  Revenue  Service  (the  "IRS")  has  notified  the  Plan
         Administrator  by a letter dated July 31, 1995 that the Plan  qualified
         under  Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code (the
         "IRC") and is,  therefore,  not subject to tax under present income tax
         law. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with
         the IRC to  maintain  its tax exempt  status.  It is the opinion of the
         Plan  Administrator  that the Plan continues to be qualified and exempt
         from tax under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the IRC.

5.       TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Company believes that the Plan will continue  without  interruption
         but reserves the right to discontinue  the Plan. In the event that such
         discontinuance  results in the complete or partial  termination  of the
         Plan, the balance in each participant's  account will be distributed as
         directed by the Trustees.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July  31,  1998,  the  Company  completed  the  acquisition  of  The
         American Crane Corporation ("American Crane"). The  non-union employees
         of American Crane became eligible for participation  in the Plan during
         February 1999 and  on March 3, 1999,  assets valued at $3,337,052  were
         transferred into  the Plan from The American Crane Corporation  Savings
         and Investment 401(k) Plan.
