SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report constitute "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements
that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always,
through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected
to," "will continue," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "intends," "plans,"
"projects," and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, cost
savings, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, cost savings,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, and accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, such risks, uncertainties
and other factors, which are discussed throughout this report. Such factors
include, among others, the following:

o     substantial leverage, ability to service debt, and the ability of the
      Company to comply with financial and other covenants in the Company's
      credit agreement. In fiscal 1999 and fiscal 2000, the Company was required
      to obtain waivers and amendments to its credit agreement to remain in
      compliance with certain financial covenants. In connection with the most
      recent amendments, the credit agreement was modified to place significant
      restrictions on the amount of borrowings available to the Company for
      working capital purposes, particularly during the period through April 30,
      2001, a period during which the Company's need for working capital is
      projected to be the greatest. Management believes the Company should be
      able to comply with its existing bank financial covenants and should have
      sufficient cash flow to meet the Company's obligations as they become due.
      If the Company is unable to sufficiently reduce working capital, the
      Company would not be able to reduce total outstanding borrowings and
      letters of credit below $40 million for the 14-day period ending April 16,
      2001 and to below $35 million for the 5-day period ending April 23, 2001,
      as required by the Bank Credit Facility. If the Company were unable to
      comply with the covenants in the Bank Credit Facility, in order to avoid
      default it would be required to obtain additional modifications to its
      Bank Credit Facility and/or additional sources of funding. There can be no
      assurance that, if needed, such modification would be agreed to by the
      bank credit facility lenders or such funding, would be available;

o     changing market trends in the mobile hydraulic crane, aerial work platform
      and truck-mounted crane industries;

o     general economic and business conditions including a prolonged or
      substantial recession;

o     the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and maintain
      and enhance its competitive strengths;

o     the ability of the Company to obtain financing for general corporate
      purposes;

o     competition;

o     availability of key personnel;

o     industry overcapacity; and

o     changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to
future results, levels of activity and achievements, and neither the Company nor
any other person assumes responsibility for the assurance and completeness of
these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained
herein speak solely as of the date on which such statements are made, and the
Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statements were
made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

      (1)   Basis of Presentation

            The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
            statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
            accounting principles for interim financial information.
            Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the
            information and notes required by generally accepted accounting
            principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
            management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include
            all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
            necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
            results of operations.

            Grove Investors LLC ("Investors") is a limited liability company
            formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Limited Liability
            Company Act. Investors ownes Gorve Holdings LLC ("Holdings") which
            owns Grove Worldwide LLC. Investors and Holdings conduct all of
            their business through Grove Worldwide LLC (the "Company").

            Interim results for the three-month period ended December 30, 2000
            are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
            for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the
            consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended
            September 30, 2000.

      (2)   Liquidity

            During the years ended October 2, 1999 and September 30, 2000, the
            Company incurred significant operating losses that would have
            resulted in non-compliance with certain financial covenants included
            in the Company's Bank Credit Facility. The Company obtained waivers
            of these financial covenant defaults as well as certain covenant
            modifications to help position the Company for future compliance.
            Nevertheless, future compliance will depend upon achieving
            significantly improved operating results during fiscal 2001 and
            beyond. Furthermore, modifications to the Bank Credit Facility place
            significant restrictions on the amount of borrowings available to
            the Company for working capital purposes, particularly during the
            period through April 30, 2001, a period during which the Company's
            need is projected to be the greatest.

            Management has completed a number of initiatives to help improve
            operating results and cash flows including (i) reduction in Manlift
            operations, (ii) restructuring of Shady Grove, Pennsylvania
            manufacturing operations by improving product flow and (iii)
            reducing the number of sales, marketing, engineering and
            administrative employees, principally in Shady Grove and the UK.

            Management believes the Company should be able to comply with its
            existing bank financial covenants and should have sufficient cash
            flow to meet the Company's obligations as they become due. However,
            Management is continuing to review the Company's cash flow
            requirements, particularly projected working capital reductions, but
            there can be no assurance that managment's assuptions as to such
            reductions will be met. If the Company is unable to sufficiently
            reduce working capital, the Company will not be able to reduce total
            outstanding borrowings and letters of credit below $40 million for
            the 14-day period ending April 16, 2001 and to below $35 million for
            the 5-day period ending April 23, 2001, as required by the Bank
            Credit Facility. If the Company were unable to comply with the
            covenants in the Bank Credit Facility, in order to avoid default, it
            would be required to obtain additional modifications to its Bank
            Credit Facility and/or additional sources of funding. There can be
            no assurance that, if needed, such modifications would be agreed to
            by the Bank Credit Facility Lenders or such funding, if needed,
            would be available.

            Inventories consist of the following as of September 30, 2000 and
            December 30, 2000:

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

            Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, as determined
            primarily under the first-in, first-out method.

      (4)   Income Taxes

            A significant portion of the Company's business is operated as a
            limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware.
            Accordingly, earnings of the Company's U.S. mobile hydraulic crane
            and aerial work platform businesses, as well as, earnings from its
            foreign subsidiaries will not be directly subject to U.S. income
            taxes. Such taxable income will be allocated to the equity holders
            of Investors and they will be responsible for U.S. income taxes on
            such taxable income. The Company intends to make distributions, in
            the form of dividends, to enable the equity holders of Investors to
            meet their tax obligations with respect to income allocated to them
            by the Company. No distributions were made for taxes in the year
            ended September 30, 2000 or the three months ended December 30,
            2000.

            The difference between the Company's reported tax provision for the
            three months ended December 30, 2000 and the tax provision computed
            based on U.S. statutory rates is primarily attributed to the
            Company's structure as a limited liability company.

      (5)   Restructuring

            During the three months ended December 30, 2000, the Company adopted
            and executed a restructuring plan that resulted in the termination
            of approximately 220 employees principally in its US operations. In
            connection with the terminations, the Company accrued severance
            costs of $1,632. During the three months ended December 30, 2000 the
            Company paid severance costs of $1,800 related to these terminations
            and to termination agreements consummated in fiscal 2000. As of
            December 30, 2000 the Company has remaining severance obligations of
            $3,200, which it expects to pay through April 2002.

      (6)   Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

            Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2000 and
            December 30, 2000 consists of the following:

            The Grove Manlift segment has been eliminated in connection with the
            reduction of Manlift operations that occurred in the fourth quarter
            of fiscal 2000. Corporate, eliminations and other consist
            principally of corporate expenses, and assets, including the
            restructuring charge, goodwill and intercompany eliminations.
            Depreciation and amortization excludes depreciation of equipment
            held for rent.

      (8)   Derivative Financial Instruments

            On October 3, 1999 and July 2, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No.
            133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
            and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and
            Certain Hedging Activities (an Amendment to SFAS No. 133),
            respectively. These statements establish accounting and reporting
            standards

GROVE INVESTORS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited and in thousands)

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

            for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. They require
            that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
            liabilities measured at fair value. The net impact of adoption SFAS
            133 of $302 was presented as the cumulative effect of a change in
            accounting principle in the condensed consolidated statements of
            operations. A summary of the Company's hedging strategies and
            outstanding derivative instruments are as follows:

            Interest Rate Risk

            The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by monitoring
            changes in interest rate exposure that may adversely impact expected
            future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. At
            December 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $210 million of
            variable rate borrowings under its bank credit facility. Management
            believes it prudent to limit the variability of its interest
            payments. To meet this objective, the Company has an interest rate
            collar arrangement with a multinational bank to limit its exposure
            to rising interest rates on $100 million of its variable rate bank
            borrowings. Under the agreement the Company will receive, on a $100
            million notional amount, three-month LIBOR and pay 6.5% anytime
            LIBOR exceeds 6.5%, and will receive three-month LIBOR and pay 5.19%
            anytime LIBOR is below 5.19%. The contract does not require
            collateral.

            The estimated fair value (unrecognized gain) of the interest rate
            collar at September 30, 2000 and December 30, 2000 was $203 and $8,
            respectively. Management has concluded that the interest rate collar
            did not qualify as an effective hedge for accounting purposes as of
            September 30, 2000 and December 30, 2000. Accordingly, the Company
            has recognized $195 as other expense in the condensed consolidated
            statement of operations for the three months ended December 30,
            2000.

            Foreign Currency Risk

            The Company has foreign operations in the U.K., France, Germany and
            Australia. Therefore its earnings, cash flows and financial position
            are exposed to foreign currency risk. In addition, the U.S. company
            regularly purchases mobile hydraulic cranes from its German factory
            to meet the demand of its U.S. customers. In order to protect profit
            margins the Company will purchase forward currency contracts and
            options to hedge future Deutsche mark payment obligations.

            At July 1, 2000 the Company had $3.5 million in an outstanding
            forward contract to purchase Deutsche marks with gross unrealized
            losses of $0.5 million. The contract will settle in January 2001 and
            has been marked to market and included in the determination of cost
            of goods sold for the three months ended December 30, 2000 in
            accordance with FAS 133, as amended.

            Currently the Company is not hedging any other foreign currency
            exposures but it may do so in the future.

      (9)   Net Assets of Subsidiary Held for Sale

            In late January 2001, after reviewing a number of strategic
            alternatives, management has made the decision to organize its
            European AWP business in France around the Delta Manlift business.
            As such, we now expect to invest resources in the growth and
            profitability of Delta Manlift as the company goes forward. The
            subsidiary is therefore no longer presented as an asset held for
            sale in the accompanying balance sheet.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
information and the historical consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Grove Investors LLC ("Investors") assets consist only of membership interests of
Grove Holdings LLC ("Holdings") and capital stock of Grove Investors Capital.
Holdings assets consist only of the membership interests of Grove Worldwide LLC
and capital stock of Grove Holdings Capital. Investors and Holdings conduct all
of their business through Grove Worldwide LLC and its subsidiaries (the
"Company").

The Company generates most of its net sales from the manufacture and sale of new
mobile hydraulic cranes, aerial work platforms and truck-mounted cranes. The
Company markets its products through two operating divisions; Grove Crane and
National Crane. Grove Crane manufactures mobile hydraulic cranes in its Shady
Grove, Pennsylvania and Wilhelmshaven, Germany manufacturing facilities.
National Crane manufactures truck-mounted cranes in its Waverly, Nebraska
manufacturing facility. The Company also generates a portion of its net sales
from after-market sales (parts and service) of the products it manufactures.
Sales of used equipment are not material and are generally limited to trade-ins
on new equipment through Company-owned distributors in France, Germany, and the
United Kingdom.

During the years ended October 2, 1999 and September 30, 2000, the Company
incurred significant operating losses that would have resulted in non-compliance
with certain financial covenants included in the Company's Bank Credit Facility.
The Company obtained waivers of these financial covenants as well as certain
covenant modifications to help position the Company for future compliance.
Nevertheless, future compliance will depend on achieving significantly improved
operating results during fiscal 2001 and beyond. Furthermore, modifications of
the Bank Credit Facility place significant restrictions on the amount of
borrowings available to the Company for working capital purposes, particularly
during the period through April 30, 2001, a period during which the Company's
need is projected to be the greatest.

Management has completed a number of initiatives to help improve operating
results and cash flows including: (i) reduction of Manlift operations, (ii)
restructuring Shady Grove, Pennsylvania manufacturing operations by improving
product flow and (iii) reducing the number of sales, marketing, engineering and
administrative employees, principally in Shady Grove and the UK.

The reduction of Manlift operations allows the Company to produce a product line
which management believes is complementary with the Company's Crane products and
strategy. Manlift will continue to provide full support for the installed base
of aerial work platforms through parts and service, including discontinued
models, and to manufacture six models of boom Manlifts. In order to take
advantage of synergies, the Company has merged Manlift's production, engineering
and sales and marketing functions with those of Grove Crane. Accordingly, the
Company's Manlift operations are discussed with Grove Crane.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 30, 2000 (the "fiscal 2001 three months") compared
to the three months ended January 1, 2000 (the "fiscal 2000 three months")

Net Sales. Net sales decreased $12.0 million, or 6.5%, to $173.4 million for the
fiscal 2001 three months from $185.4 million for the fiscal 2000 three months.
The decrease in net sales is principally the result of decreased unit sales in
the Crane and National Crane segments.

Net sales for the Grove Crane division include $25.5 million from the remaining
Manlift business. Sales for Grove Crane, excluding the remaining Manlift
business, decreased $1.7 million, or 1.3%, to $131.9 million for the fiscal 2001
three months from $130.2 million for the fiscal 2000 three months. The decrease
in net sales is primarily the result of lower unit sales. Net sales decreased in
both North American and European.

Net sales for the National Crane division decreased $3.7 million, or 18.5%, to
$16.3 million for the fiscal 2001 three months from $20.0 million for the fiscal
2000 three months. Net sales decreased as the result of lower unit sales and
decreased demand for higher priced models.

After-market sales did not significantly change in the fiscal 2001 three months
from the fiscal 2000 three months. An increase in net sales in North American
was offset by a decrease in Europe.

Other sales increased by $10.9 million to $26.3 million in the fiscal 2001 three
months from $15.4 million in the fiscal 2000 three months. The increase was
primarily due to higher government and used equipment sales volumes.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $5.7 million, or 19.1%, to $24.2 million in
the fiscal 2001 three months from $29.9 million in the fiscal 2000 three months.
The decrease in gross profit was attributable primarily to a decline in Crane
and National volumes offset by improved manufacturing efficiencies in the
Company's US operation. Gross profit as a percent of sales decreased to 14.0% in
the fiscal 2001 three months from 16.1% in the fiscal 2000 three months
primarily as the result of an unfavorable mix of products sold.

Selling, Engineering, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, engineering,
general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $6.3 million, or 22.4%,
to $21.8 million in the fiscal 2001 three months from $28.1 million in the
fiscal 2000 three months. SG&A for the fiscal 2000 three months includes
approximately $0.9 million of consulting fees paid to the George Group in
connection with the completion of their activities. As a percentage of net
sales, SG&A was 12.6% in the fiscal 2001 three months and 15.2% in the fiscal
2000 three months.

Restructuring charges. During the fiscal 2001 three months, the Company adopted
and executed a restructuring plan that resulted in the termination of
approximately 220 employees principally in


                                       10
<PAGE>

its US operations. In connection with the terminations, the Company accrued
severance costs of $1.6 million. During the three months ended December 30, 2000
the Company paid severance costs of $1.8 million related to these terminations
and to termination agreements consummated in fiscal 2000. As of December 30,
2000 the Company has remaining severance obligations of $3.2 million, which it
expects to pay through April 2002.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $4.4 million to $18.1 million for
the fiscal 2001 three months from $13.7 million in the fiscal 2000 three months
primarily as the result of higher borrowings on the Company's line of credit and
higher rates on those borrowings.

Backlog. The Company's backlog consists of firm orders for new equipment and
replacement parts. Total backlog as of January 13, 2001 was approximately $134.5
million compared with total backlog as of January 15, 2000 of approximately
$204.5 million. Substantially all of the Company's backlog orders are expected
to be filled within one year, although there can be no assurance that all such
backlog orders will be filled within that time period. Parts orders are
generally filled on an as-ordered basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's business is working capital-intensive, requiring significant
investments in receivables and inventory. In addition, the Company requires
capital for replacement and improvements of existing plant, equipment and
processes. During the three months ended December 30, 2000, the Company used
approximately $6.1 million of cash in operating activities primarily as a result
of a net loss after non-cash items.

During the fiscal 2000 nine months the Company made $1.0 million of payments on
its term loan, borrowed $0.1 million of the revolving line of credit and
obtained $0.2 million from short-term borrowings. Capital expenditures were $2.1
million for the fiscal 2000 three months and are expected to be approximately
$10.5 million for fiscal 2001.

During the year September 30, 2000, the Company incurred significant operating
losses that would have resulted in non-compliance with certain financial
covenants included in the Company's Bank Credit Facility. The Company obtained
waivers of these financial covenants as well as certain covenant modifications
to help position the Company for future compliance. Nevertheless, future
compliance will depend on achieving significantly improved operating results
during fiscal 2001 and beyond. Furthermore, modifications of the Bank Credit
Facility place significant restrictions on the amount of borrowings available to
the Company for working capital purposes, particularly during the period through
April 30, 2001, a period during which the Company's need is projected to be the
greatest. In addition, the modified covenants require the Company to achieve
certain earnings targets on a quarterly basis through fiscal 2001, including a
requirement to achieve adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), as defined, of $16.5 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2001. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, for the three months
ended December 30, 2000 was $6.6 million.

As of December 30, 2000, the Company had borrowings of $35.1 million and letters
of credit of $5.3 million outstanding under its $66.25 bank revolving credit
facility. Based upon eligible amounts of receivables and inventory at December
30, 2000, the Company had available additional borrowings of $19.8 million.
Effective April 1, 2001 the maximum amount available under the facility will
decline from $66.25 to $60.0 million. During the 14-day period ending April 16,
2001 and the 5-day period ending April 23, 2001, borrowings and outstanding
letters of credit under the revolving credit facility will be limited to $40
million and $35 million respectively.


                                       11
<PAGE>

Management believes the Company should be able to comply with its existing bank
financial covenants and should have sufficient cash flow to meet the Company's
obligations as they become due. However, Management is continuing to review the
Company's cash flow requirements, particularly projected working capital
reductions. If the Company is unable to sufficiently reduce working capital, the
Company will not be able to reduce total outstanding borrowings and letters of
credit below $40 million for the 14-day period ending April 16, 2001 and to
below $35 million for the 5-day period ending April 23, 2001, as required by the
Bank Credit Facility. If the Company were unable to comply with the covenants in
the Bank Credit Facility, in order to avoid default, it would be required to
obtain additional modifications to its Bank Credit Facility and/or additional
sources of funding. There can be no assurance that, if needed, such
modifications would be agreed to by the Bank Credit Facility Lenders or such
funding, would be available.

The Company expects that cash flows from foreign operations will be required to
meet its domestic debt service requirements. Such cash flows are expected to be
generated from intercompany interest expense on loans the Company has made to
certain of its foreign subsidiaries. The loans have been established with
amounts and interest rates to allow for repatriation without restriction or
additional tax burden. However, there is no assurance that the foreign
subsidiaries will generate the cash flow required to service the loans or that
the laws in the foreign jurisdictions will not change to limit repatriation or
increase the tax burden of repatriation.

Grove Investors Capital, Inc.

Investors and its wholly owned subsidiary, Grove Investors Capital, a Delaware
corporation, issued the Senior Debentures. Grove Investors Capital was organized
as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Investors for the purpose of acting as a
co-issuer of the Senior Debentures and was also a co-registrant of the
Registration Statement for the Senior Debentures. This was done so that certain
institutional investors to which the Senior Debentures were marketed that might
otherwise have been restricted in their ability to purchase debt securities
issued by a limited liability company, such as Investors, by reason of the legal
investment laws of their states of organization or their charter documents,
would be able to invest in the Senior Debentures. Grove Investors Capital has no
subsidiaries, nominal assets, no liabilities (other than the co-obligation under
the Senior Debentures) and no operations. Grove Investors Capital does not have
any revenues and is prohibited from engaging in any business activities. As a
result, holders of the Senior Debentures should not expect Grove Investors
Capital to participate in servicing the interest and principal obligations on
the Senior Debentures.

No separate financial statements of Grove Investors Capital are included in this
report. Investors believes that such financial statements would not be material
to holders of the Senior Debentures.

The ability of Investors' subsidiaries to make cash distributions and loans to
Investors is significantly restricted under the terms of the Senior Subordinated
Notes, the Senior Discount Debentures, the Indentures governing the Senior
Subordinated Notes, the Indenture governing the Senior Discount Debentures and
the bank credit facility.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's principal market risk exposure is changing interest rates,
primarily changes in short-term interest rates. The Company does not enter into
financial instruments for trading or


                                       12
<PAGE>

speculative purposes. The Company's policy is to manage interest rates through
use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. The Company may also use
derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

As of July 1, 2000, $210.0 million of the Company's long-term debt, which is
outstanding under its bank term facility, bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.0%
(10.2%). In addition the Company has $225.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes
outstanding bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9.25%. Holdings has $88,000 face
value of Senior Discount Debentures outstanding accreting interest at a fixed
rate of 11.625%. Investors has $67,700 in Senior Debentures outstanding bearing
interest at a fixed rate of 14.5%.

The Company has an interest rate collar to manage exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates on $100.0 million of its floating rate long-term debt through
September 2001. Under the agreement, the Company will receive on a $100.0
million notational amount, three month LIBOR and pay 6.5% anytime LIBOR exceeds
6.5%, and will receive three month LIBOR and pay 5.19% anytime LIBOR is below
5.19%. The agreement effectively caps the Company's exposure on $100.0 million
of its floating rate debt at 6.5% plus an applicable margin as detailed in the
Company's bank credit facility.

Movement in foreign currency exchange rates creates risk to the Company's
operations to the extent of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies.
The major foreign currencies, among others, in which the Company does business,
are the British pound sterling, German mark and French franc. In addition,
changes in currency exchange rates can affect the competitiveness of the
Company's products and could result in management reconsidering pricing
strategies to maintain market share. Specifically, the Company is most sensitive
to changes in the German mark relative to the dollar. During the past three
fiscal years, currency fluctuations have not had a significant impact on the
Company's results of operations.

In order to manage currency risk, the Company's practice is to contract for
purchases and sales of goods and services in the functional currency of the
Company's subsidiary executing the transaction. To the extent purchases or sales
are in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary, the
Company will generally purchase forward contracts to hedge firm purchase and
sales commitments. As of December 30, 2000, the Company was party to one such
contract with an aggregate value of $3.5 million. This forward contract matures
in January 2001. The Company has not taken any action at this time to hedge its
net investment in foreign subsidiaries but may do so in the future.

The Company does not have any commodity contracts.
