              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

     In the opinion of management, the information furnished for the three- and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000 includes all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations and financial position of the Company. Due in part
to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the entire year.

     It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as
amended, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES

     The income tax provision is determined by applying an estimated annual
effective income tax rate to income before income taxes. The estimated annual
effective income tax rate is based on the most recent annualized forecast of
pretax income, permanent book/tax differences, and tax credits.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

     If all of the Company's inventories had been valued on a current cost
basis, which approximated FIFO value, estimated inventories by major
classification would have been as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The
statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and require that goodwill and certain intangible assets not be
amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for impairment annually with
any related losses recognized in earnings when incurred. The statements will be
effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002 for existing goodwill and
intangible assets and for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
The adoptions of these statements are expected to reduce annual amortization
expense by approximately $500,000.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER SHARE AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of common shares and, if applicable, common stock
equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options.

     A reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of earnings per
share follows (in thousands):

     Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised entirely of minimum
pension liability adjustments. Comprehensive income equaled net income for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, as the minimum pension
liability amount did not change from the respective prior year-end amount.

NOTE 6 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

     The Company operates in two business segments: Construction equipment and
Agricultural equipment. The long-term financial performance of the Company's
reportable segments are affected by separate economic conditions and cycles. The
segments are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their
operations. Following is selected segment information (in thousands):

Financial Condition
-------------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended July 1, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the second quarter of 2001 were $77.4 million which compares
to $79.1 million in the comparable period of 2000. Construction equipment net
sales were $41.3 million in the second quarter of 2001, versus $49.9 million in
the second quarter of 2000. Company sales and industry markets continued to be
unfavorably affected by the impacts of lower rental rates for compact
construction equipment, particularly telescopic handlers, as well as the adverse
effects of the weak Euro on export shipments and rental dealers' caution about
adding to or replacing fleet units. Offsetting these unfavorable industry-wide
conditions are some early successes for the Company in selling telescopic
handlers through its Mustang distribution channel and the continued favorable
market acceptance of the four new skid loader models introduced earlier this
year for Gehl and Mustang dealers.

     Agricultural equipment sales were $36.1 million in the second quarter of
2001, compared to $29.2 million during the year-ago period. The Company
experienced continued success in leveraging its agricultural equipment
distribution network for shipments of telescopic handlers, compact excavators
and mini-loaders. The Company is encouraged by sales of its newly introduced
round baler product line and new Agri-Loader telescopic handler products
designed exclusively for the agricultural market. Improved domestic milk prices
also contributed to the positive performance of the Company's agricultural
equipment business.

     Of the Company's total net sales reported for the second quarter of 2001,
$11.7 million were made outside of the United States compared with $9.5 million
in the comparable period of 2000. The increase in exports was due primarily to
an increase in shipments into Canada.

     Gross profit was $19.7 million during the second quarter of 2001 versus
$21.4 million in the comparable period of 2000. Gross profit as a percent of net
sales was 25.4% for the second quarter of 2001 versus 27.1% in the comparable
period of 2000. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for construction
equipment was 22.4% in the second quarter of 2001 compared with 25.2% for the
second quarter of 2000. The decrease in construction equipment gross margin
during the quarter was the result of competitive market conditions, lower
production volumes and a less favorable mix of product shipments. Gross profit
as a percent of net sales for agricultural equipment decreased to 28.9% in the
second quarter of 2001 from 30.2% for the second quarter of 2000. The decrease
in agricultural equipment gross margin during the quarter was due to a less
favorable mix of product shipments

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.4 million, or 17.4%
of net sales, in the second quarter of 2001, an increase from $11.4 million, or
14.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2000. The Company continues to
invest in revenue-enhancing projects to position the Company for future growth
and market share expansion, which include its web-enabled attachment business,
CE Attachments, Inc., new product development, implementation of its

                                       -8-

enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and the centralization of service
parts distribution. Such investments, combined with increased selling-related
costs resulting from competitive market conditions, and a lower level of sales,
offset by a reduction in warranty expenses, contributed to the Company's
increased operating expenses as a percentage of net sales.

     Income from operations in the second quarter of 2001 was $6.2 million,
versus $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2000.

     Interest expense decreased $.2 million to $1.2 million in the second
quarter of 2001 from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2000. The decrease
was a result of a decrease in the average rate of interest paid by the Company
to 6.9% in the second quarter of 2001 from 8.6% for the second quarter of 2000,
offset, in part, by an increase in average debt outstanding to $62.2 million in
the second quarter of 2001 versus $61.0 million in the second quarter of 2000.

     Other expense decreased $465,000, to $673,000 in the second quarter of 2001
from $1,138,000 in the second quarter of 2000. This was primarily caused by a
decrease in the costs of selling finance contracts due to lower discount rates
required by third party purchasers of such contracts as a result of the general
downward trend of overall interest rates.

     Second quarter 2001 net income was $3.2 million versus $5.1 million in the
second quarter of 2000. Diluted earnings were $.58 per share for the second
quarter of 2001 versus $.90 per share in 2000.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended July 1, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Net sales for the first six months of 2001 of $141.1 million were $10.0
million, or 7%, lower than the $151.1 million of net sales in the comparable
period of 2000. Construction equipment net sales were $73.6 million in the first
six months of 2001, versus $90.9 million in the first six months of 2000.
Construction equipment sales and industry markets both continued to be
unfavorably affected by the impacts of lower rental rates for compact
construction equipment, particularly telescopic handlers, as well as the adverse
effects of the weak Euro on export shipments and rental dealers' caution about
adding to or replacing fleet units. Offsetting these unfavorable industry-wide
conditions are some early successes for the Company in selling telescopic
handlers through its Mustang distribution channel and the continued favorable
market acceptance of the four new skid loader models introduced earlier this
year for Gehl and Mustang dealers.

     Agriculture equipment net sales increased 12% to $67.5 million in the first
six months of 2001 from $60.2 million in the first six months of 2000. The
increase was primarily a result of favorable market acceptance of the Company's
new round baler product line and new Agri-Loader telescopic handler products
designed exclusively for the agricultural market, as well as sales to
traditional agricultural dealers of the Company's compact excavator and
mini-loader products, which were not available to these dealers in the
comparable period of 2000. Improved domestic milk prices also contributed to the
positive performance of the Company's agricultural equipment business.

     Of the Company's total net sales reported for the first six months of 2001,
sales made outside the United States of $19.2 million were comparable to the
$20.3 million of international sales experienced in the first six months of
2000.

                                       -9-

     Although the Company has taken steps in the past few years to address
seasonality in its sales revenues, some still remains, primarily in the
Company's second quarter which historically has tended to be its strongest
quarter for sales.

     Gross profit decreased $4.8 million, or 12%, in the first six months of
2001 versus the comparable period of 2000, due to decreased sales volume and
lower gross margin percentages. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased
to 25.5% for the first six months of 2001 from 26.9% in the comparable period of
2000. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for construction equipment
decreased to 22.4% in the first six months of 2001 from 25.1% in the first six
months of 2000. The decrease in construction equipment gross margin was a result
of competitive market conditions, lower production levels, higher utility costs,
and a less favorable mix of product shipments. Gross profit as a percent of net
sales for agriculture equipment decreased to 28.9% for the first six months of
2001 from 29.7% for the first six months of 2000.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were $26.2 million, or 18.6%
of net sales, in the first six months of 2001, an increase from $23.2 million,
or 15.3% of net sales, in the comparable period of 2000. Gehl continues to
invest in revenue-enhancing projects to position the Company for future growth
and market share expansion, which include its web-enabled attachment business,
CE Attachments, Inc., new product development, implementation of it enterprise
resource planning (ERP) system, and the centralization of service parts
distribution. Such investments, combined with increased selling-related costs
resulting from competitive market conditions, and a lower level of sales,
contributed to the Company's increased operating expenses as a percentage of net
sales.

     Income from operations in the first six months of 2001 was $9.7 million
versus $17.5 million for the comparable period of 2000.

     Interest expense remained constant at $2.3 million in the first six months
of both 2001 and 2000. Average debt outstanding was $59.7 million in the first
six months of 2001 versus $51.2 million in the comparable period of 2000 while
the average rate of interest paid by the Company declined to approximately 7.4%
in the first six months of 2001 versus 8.5% in the comparable period of 2000.

     Net income was $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 versus
$9.2 million for the six months ended July 1, 2000.

Financial Condition

     The Company's working capital was $102.7 million at June 30, 2001, as
compared to $93.0 million at December 31, 2000, and $99.4 million at July 1,
2000. The increase since December 31, 2000 was due primarily to seasonal
increases in accounts receivable offset by decreases in finance contracts
receivable, inventory and an increase in accounts payable.

     Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment during the first six
months of 2001 were approximately $2.1 million. The Company plans to make up to
$4 million in capital expenditures in 2001. The Company believes its present
facilities will be sufficient to provide adequate capacity for its operations
for the foreseeable future.

     As of June 30, 2001, the weighted-average interest rate paid by the Company
on outstanding borrowings under its line of credit facility was 5.9%. The
Company had available unused borrowing capacity of $22.7 million, $20.2 million
and $19.8 million under the line of credit

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
facility at June 30, 2001, December 31, 2000, and July 1, 2000, respectively. At
June 30, 2001, December 31, 2000, and July 1, 2000, the Company's outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit facility were $50.5 million, $51.6 million
and $53.3 million, respectively.

     The sale of finance contracts is an important component of the Company's
overall liquidity. The Company has arrangements with several financial
institutions and financial service companies to sell, with recourse, its finance
contracts receivable. The Company continues to service substantially all
contracts whether or not sold. At June 30, 2001, the Company serviced $156.1
million of such contracts, of which $139.5 million were owned by other parties.
The Company believes that it will be able to arrange sufficient capacity to sell
its finance contracts for the foreseeable future.

     At June 30, 2001, shareholders' equity had increased $4.2 million to $107.4
million from $103.2 million at July 1, 2000. This increase primarily reflected
the impact of the income earned from July 2, 2000 to June 30, 2001.

Accounting Pronouncements

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." The
statements eliminate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business
combinations and require that goodwill and certain intangible assets not be
amortized. Instead, these assets will be reviewed for impairment annually with
any related losses recognized in earnings when incurred. The statements will be
effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002 for existing goodwill and
intangible assets and for business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
The adoptions of these statements is expected to reduce annual amortization
expense by approximately $500,000.

Outlook

     The Company believes it should be able to meet the lower end of previous
earnings guidance issued for the full year, despite the continuing soft economic
conditions and related weakness in the construction market, particularly the
steep drop in the telescopic handler market. The low end of the range for full
year 2001 previously provided by the Company in February 2001 was $1.52 per
diluted share.

      As announced on May 9, 2001, Gehl is engaged in the process of reviewing
its strategic alternatives, including the possible sale of the Company. Various
U.S. and international entities have expressed interest in pursuing a business
combination transaction or other strategic relationship with the Company. Gehl
is continuing the second stage of the review process.

risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond
the Company's control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated as of the date of this filing. Factors that could cause such a
variance include, but are not limited to, unanticipated changes in general
economic and capital market conditions, the Company's ability to implement
successfully its strategic initiatives, unanticipated developments related to

interest rates and government spending, and the performance of the U.S. economy
generally. The accuracy of these or other assumptions could have a material
effect on the Company's ability to achieve its expectations.
