PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

The Company is an international designer, manufacturer and marketer of a
comprehensive line of mobile hydraulic cranes, aerial work platforms and
truck-mounted cranes. The Company's products are used in a wide variety of
applications by commercial and residential building contractors, as well as
by industrial, municipal and military end-users. The Company's products are
marketed to independent equipment rental companies and directly to end-users
under three widely recognized brand names -- GROVE CRANE, GROVE MANLIFT and
NATIONAL CRANE.

The Company's products are sold in over 50 countries primarily through an
established, global network of approximately 240 independent distributors. The
Company's major markets are North America (approximately 70% of fiscal 1998 and
65% of fiscal 1999 new equipment sales), Europe (approximately 21% of fiscal
1998 and 26% of fiscal 1999 new equipment sales), Africa and the Middle East
(approximately 3% of fiscal 1998 and 4% of fiscal 1999 new equipment sales),
Asia (approximately 2% of fiscal 1998 and 2% of fiscal 1999 new equipment sales)
and Latin America (approximately 4% of fiscal 1998 and 3% of fiscal 1999 new
equipment sales). The Company markets its products through three operating
divisions:

       GROVE CRANE (approximately 69%, 66% and 69% of fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998
       and fiscal 1999 net sales) designs and manufactures over 30 models of
       mobile hydraulic cranes. The Company's mobile hydraulic cranes, which are
       used primarily in industrial, commercial and public works construction,
       are capable of reaching maximum heights of 372 feet and lifting up to 300
       tons.

       GROVE MANLIFT (approximately 23%, 24% and 20% of fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998
       and fiscal 1999 net sales) designs and manufactures 40 models of aerial
       work platforms. The Company's aerial work platforms, which are used
       primarily in industrial, commercial and construction applications, are
       capable of lifting people to maximum working heights ranging from 19 to
       131 feet. Aerial work platforms elevate workers and their materials more
       safely, quickly and easily than alternative methods such as scaffolding
       and ladders.

       NATIONAL CRANE (approximately 8%, 10% and 11% of fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998
       and fiscal 1999 net sales) designs and manufactures 10 models of
       telescoping and 14 models of articulating truck-mounted cranes. The
       Company's telescoping and articulating cranes, which are used primarily
       in industrial, commercial, public works and construction applications,
       are capable of reaching maximum heights of 166 feet and lifting up to 36
       tons. Telescoping and articulating cranes are mounted on a standard truck
       chassis or on a pedestal at a fixed location.

In December 1997, Grove Worldwide was formed as a Delaware limited liability
company for the purpose of acquiring, through certain of its subsidiaries, the
mobile hydraulic crane, aerial work platform and truck-mounted crane businesses
of Hanson Funding (G) PLC ("Hanson") and certain of its subsidiaries (the

THE ACQUISITION

In March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement (together with the related
agreements, the "Acquisition Agreement") to acquire (the "Acquisition"), the
Acquired Business for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $583.0
million plus certain assumed liabilities, subject to a post-closing net worth
adjustment described below.

On April 29, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement,
the Company acquired the Acquired Business. Cash funding requirements to
consummate the Acquisition, including the payment of related fees and expenses,
were approximately $605.1 million, which were provided by: (i) $210.1 million of
borrowings under a $325.0 million credit facility among the Company and certain
banks (the "Bank Credit Facility"); (ii) $225.0 million of estimated gross
proceeds to the Company from the offering of its 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2009 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"); (iii) the issuance by Grove
Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Grove Holdings"), of $50.0
million in gross proceeds of its 11 5/8% Senior Discount Debentures due 2009
(the "Debentures"); and (iv) the issuance of $120.0 million of limited liability
company interests of Grove Holdings (the "Holdings Equity Issuance")
(collectively, the "Financings"). On the Closing Date, Grove Holdings
contributed (the "Equity Contribution") the net proceeds from the Holdings
Equity Issuance and the Debenture offering to the Company. The Acquisition, the
Financings and the application of the proceeds of the Financings are hereinafter
referred to as the "Transactions." See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The Company received approximately $16.8 million and $10.5 million in July 1998
and November 1998, respectively, from Hanson in payment of post closing net
worth adjustments.

PRODUCTS

MOBILE HYDRAULIC CRANES (GROVE CRANE)

GROVE CRANE manufactures over 30 models of mobile hydraulic cranes, which are
used primarily in the industrial, commercial and public works construction and
in maintenance applications to lift material at job sites. There are four main
types of mobile hydraulic cranes: (i) Rough-Terrain, (ii) All-Terrain, (iii)
Truck-Mounted and (iv) Industrial. In addition, Grove Crane produces three
models of specialty cranes for the U.S. Department of Defense.

ROUGH-TERRAIN CRANES are designed to lift materials and equipment on rough or
uneven terrain. These cranes cannot be driven on highways, and, accordingly,
must be transported by truck to a work site. Grove Crane produces 15 models of
rough-terrain cranes, believed to be the broadest such line in the world,
capable of working heights of up to 208 feet and maximum load capacities of up
to 100 tons.

ALL-TERRAIN CRANES are versatile cranes designed to lift materials and equipment
on rough or uneven terrain and yet are highly maneuverable and capable of
highway speeds. Grove Crane produces nine models of all-terrain cranes capable
of working heights of up to 374 feet and maximum load capacities of up to 300
tons.

TRUCK-MOUNTED CRANES are designed to provide simple set-up, long reach high
capacity booms and the capability of traveling from site to site at highway
speeds. These cranes are suitable for urban and suburban uses. Grove Crane
produces eight models of truck-mounted cranes, believed to be the broadest such
line in the world, capable of working heights of up to 248 feet and maximum load
capacities of up to 120 tons.

INDUSTRIAL CRANES are designed primarily for plant maintenance, storage yard and
material handling jobs. Grove Crane produces three models of industrial cranes
capable of working heights of up to 74 feet and maximum load capacities of up to
15 tons.

AERIAL WORK PLATFORMS (GROVE MANLIFT)

Grove Manlift manufactures over 40 models of aerial work platforms which elevate
workers and their materials more safely, quickly and easily than alternative
methods such as scaffolding and ladders. The work platform is mounted to either
a telescoping or articulating boom or to a vertical scissor or mast lift
mechanism. The boom lifting mechanism is mounted on a chassis powered by
electric motors or gas, diesel or propane engines. The Company manufactures five
types of aerial work platforms: (i) Scissor Lift, (ii) Articulating Boom, (iii)
Telescoping Boom, (iv) Vertical Mast and (v) Personnel Lifts.

SCISSOR LIFTS have a work platform that is mounted on top of a scissor type
lifting mechanism. The lifts are designed to set up and move quickly from job to
job in construction, industrial and commercial settings. Grove Manlift produces
11 models of scissor lifts capable of working heights of up to 46 feet and
maximum load capacities of up to 1,750 pounds.

ARTICULATING BOOM LIFTS have a work platform that is mounted on top of a jointed
boom. These lifts are used primarily in the industrial and construction settings
where articulation allows users to access elevated areas over machines or
structural obstacles. Grove Manlift produces ten models of articulating boom
lifts capable of working heights of up to 131 feet with maximum load capacities
of up to 600 pounds.


                                      3
<PAGE>


TELESCOPING BOOM LIFTS have a work platform that is mounted on top of a
telescoping boom and designed for strength, rigidity and resistance to
deflection. These lifts are used primarily outdoors in residential, commercial
and industrial construction and maintenance projects. Grove Manlift produces ten
models of telescoping boom lifts capable of working heights of up to 116 feet
with maximum load capacities of up to 700 pounds.

VERTICAL MAST LIFTS have work platforms that are either mounted on top of
fork-lift type devices or on push-around type devices. These lifts are designed
for use by workers for general purpose indoor maintenance. Some models are for
vertical lifting applications only, while others also have out-reach
capabilities. Grove Manlift produces 14 models of vertical mast lifts capable of
working heights of up to 46 feet with maximum load capacities of up to 600
pounds.

TRUCK-MOUNTED CRANES (NATIONAL CRANE)

National Crane manufactures 24 models of truck-mounted cranes used primarily by
contractors engaged in industrial, commercial, public works and residential
construction, railroad and oil field service industries. They are also used in
maintenance applications to lift materials or personnel at the same job site or
to move material to another job site or location. The Company manufactures two
types of truck-mounted cranes: telescoping and articulating, and also produces
four models of pedestal-mounted, fixed location cranes.

TELESCOPING CRANES are used primarily for lifting material and personnel on a
job site. National Crane produces 10 models of truck-mounted telescoping cranes
capable of working heights of up to 166 feet and maximum load capacities of up
to 36 tons.

ARTICULATING CRANES are used primarily to load and unload truck beds at a job
site. National Crane produces 14 models of truck-mounted articulating cranes
capable of working heights of up to 71 feet and maximum load capacities of up to
28 tons.

OTHER CRANES include four models of pedestal-mounted cranes designed for docks,
factories, yards, and other areas where fixed, stationary lifting is required.
These cranes are capable of working heights of up to 90 feet and maximum load
capacities of up to 23 tons.

The Company's North American truck-mounted crane distribution network consists
of 66 distributors that carry multiple product lines, the majority of which
maintain rental fleets. In addition, the Company has eight distributors that
focus either on limited product lines and/or market niches. Certain of the
Company's "niche" distributors primarily sell to railroads and are a particular
strength of the Company's customer base.

END-USERS AND CUSTOMERS

Mobile hydraulic cranes are primarily used by contractors engaged in industrial,
commercial and public works construction, and for maintenance applications and
job site material handling. Aerial work platforms are primarily used by
contractors engaged in residential, commercial and industrial construction and
in maintenance projects. National Crane's truck-mounted cranes are primarily
used by contractors engaged in industrial, commercial, public works and
residential construction, railroad and oil field service industries, and in

DEALER FINANCING PROGRAM

The Company offers certain of its distributors terms of up to one year. Units
sold under this program generate secured notes receivable, which the Company
sells, from time to time, to a third-party financial institution. The terms of
the notes provide that if the distributor sells the equipment prior to the
maturity of the notes, the notes must be repaid immediately along with any
interest accrued thereon.

The Company has an agreement with a major international bank to sell up to $65.0
million of notes receivable generated from sales of mobile hydraulic cranes,
aerial work platforms and truck-mounted cranes on credit terms of up to one year
on a revolving basis. The bank purchases the notes receivable at face value on a
90% non-recourse basis. The agreement requires the Company to purchase credit
insurance on behalf of the third-party to insure the 90% risk assumed by the
bank. The Company retains 10% of the credit risk. Subsequent to year-end, the
Company entered into an agreement with another major international bank to sell
up to $50.0 million of notes receivable.

ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

The Company's team of engineers focuses on developing innovative, high
performance, low maintenance products that create significant brand loyalty
among customers. Design engineers work closely with the Company's manufacturing
and marketing staff, enabling the Company to quickly identify changing end-user
requirements, implement new technologies and effectively introduce product
innovations. The Company spent approximately $15.4 million, $14.1 million and
$12.4 million in fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999, respectively, on
Company-sponsored research and development activities.

COMPETITION

The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive. To compete
successfully, the Company must remain competitive in areas of quality, value,
product line, ease of use, safety, comfort and customer service. The Company
faces competition in each of its operating divisions from a number of
manufacturers. Competition in each of the Company's markets generally is based
on product design, overall product quality, maintenance costs and price. The
following table sets forth the Company's primary competitors in each of its
major product groups:

RAW MATERIALS

Principal materials used by the Company in its various manufacturing processes
include steel, castings, engines, tires, axles, transmissions, hydraulic
components and controls, hydraulic cylinders, electric controls, motors, and a
variety of other fabricated or manufactured items either purchased complete or
manufactured internally. Substantially all materials are normally available from
multiple suppliers but are designed and tested to meet specific requirements.
Current and potential suppliers are evaluated on a regular basis on their
ability to meet the Company's requirements and standards regarding quality,
delivery and value.

CYCLICALITY

The Company markets a large portion of its products in North America and Europe,
and historically, sales of products manufactured and sold by the Company have
been subject to cyclical variations caused by, among other things, cyclical
changes in general economic conditions and, in particular, in conditions in the
construction industry. During periods of expansion in construction activity, the
Company generally has benefited from increased demand for its products.
Conversely, during recessionary periods, the Company has been adversely affected
by reduced demand for such products. Downward cycles may result in reduction of
the Company's new unit sales and pricing, which may materially and adversely
impact the Company's results of operations.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog consists of firm orders for new equipment and replacement
parts. Total backlog as of October 2, 1999 was approximately $178.3 million
compared to total backlog as of October 3, 1998 of $163.3 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.

EMPLOYEES

As of October 2, 1999, the Company had a total of approximately 4,141 employees,
of which approximately 3,054 were employed in the United States. Approximately
33% of the Company's employees are represented by labor unions. In the United
States, workers at the Company's Waverly, Nebraska facility are organized and
are subject to a collective bargaining agreement that expires on June 9, 2002.
Certain employees at the Company's Wilhelmshaven, Germany and Tonneins, France
facilities are also organized under the host country's labor laws. The
collective bargaining agreements covering the Wilhelmshaven, Germany employees
will not terminate unless due notice is given by either party pursuant to
special provisions within the collective bargaining agreements, but are subject
to renegotiation at various times. Throughout all facilities, the Company
considers its relations with its employees and union representatives to be good.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company generates hazardous and non-hazardous waste in the normal course of
its manufacturing operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide
range of Federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws, 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 has required, and will continue to require, expenditures by the
Company on a continuing basis. The Company does not expect that these
expenditures will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations.

                                      7

In 1990, the Clean Air Act was amended and established a list of 189 toxic air
pollutants that must be controlled using maximum achievable control technology
("MACT") as prescribed by the EPA. The Company believes that by 2003 it will be
subject to MACT regulations with respect to its surface coating air omissions.
At this time, the Company does not expect the cost of compliance with these MACT
regulations to have a significant impact on the Company.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company's products are sold primarily under the logo "G-Registered
Trademark-", and the trademarks GROVE-Registered Trademark-, G GROVE
WORLDWIDE-Registered Trademark-, GROVE MANLIFT-Registered Trademark-,
MANLIFT-Registered Trademark-, G MANLIFT-Registered Trademark-, G MEGATRAK-TM- ,
MAXX-Registered Trademark-, SUPER-MAXX-Registered Trademark- , TOUCAN-Registered
Trademark-, and YARDBOSS-TM- . The Company owns a number of patents and
trademarks relating to the products it manufactures that have been obtained over
a number of years.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company maintains major manufacturing and engineering facilities in Shady
Grove, Pennsylvania and Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as well as plants in Tonneins,
France and Waverly, Nebraska. All such manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001
certified. The Company also maintains administrative and service facilities in
the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Australia, and offices in Singapore,
the United Arab Emirates, and China.

The following table outlines the principal facilities owned or leased by the
Company:

</TABLE>


(1)  The lease for the Sunderland facilities expires on December 31, 1999. In
     October 1999, the Company's UK subsidiary has signed an agreement to lease,
     and plans to relocate to, a nearby facility.

(2)  The buildings are owned by the Company and the underlying land is leased
     from the Federal Republic of Germany and Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch Krupp
     ("Krupp"). The lease with the Federal Republic of Germany expires December
     31, 2043 and the lease with Krupp expires December 31, 2042.

(3)  The lease at Langenfeld, Germany runs year to year, through July 31, 2000.
     Unless the Company gives notice of intent to vacate the facility by January
     31, 2000, the lease will automatically extend for an additional year,
     through July 31, 2001.

(4)  Includes two facilities, one of which is leased. The lease expires on
     November 29, 2004.

To the extent any such properties are leased, the Company expects to be able to
renew such leases or lease comparable facilities on terms commercially
acceptable to the Company. Management believes that the Company's facilities are
suitable for its operations and provide sufficient capacity to meet the
Company's requirements for the foreseeable future.

The obligations of the Company under the Bank Credit Facility are secured by a
mortgage on certain of the Company's owned, domestic real properties.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings which have arisen in the
normal course of its operations. The outcome of these legal proceedings, if
determined adversely to the Company, is unlikely to have a material adverse
effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to product liability claims
for which it believes it has adequate insurance.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Grove Holdings, the sole holder of the Company's membership interests,
approved and ratified the following: (i) on January 29, 1999, the addition of
a Member to the Management Committee of the Company.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

HOLDERS

There is no established trading market for the membership interests of the
Company. Grove Holdings owns all of the limited liability company interests of
the Company and Grove Investors owns all of the limited liability company
interests of Grove Holdings. For certain information concerning the ownership of
the limited liability company interests of Grove Investors, see "Item 12.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

MARKET INFORMATION

No dividends have been paid on the Company's membership interests. The Company's
borrowing arrangements limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends. See

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table presents selected historical financial data of the Company
(i) as of and for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995, September
28, 1996 and September 27, 1997, for the seven months ended April 28, 1998 (the
"Predecessor Periods"), as of and for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and
the fiscal year ended October 2, 1999 (the "Successor Period"). As a result of
the Acquisition, which was accounted for using the purchase method, results of
operations for the Successor Period are not comparable with those for the
Predecessor Periods. The selected historical financial data set forth below
should be read in conjunction with "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the historical financial

ITEM 7. 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 combined and consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

Operating results for fiscal 1999 were below historical results. Lower sales
volume by each of the Company's product lines together with significant
inefficiencies in its Shady Grove manufacturing operations caused by the
implementation of new information systems, were the principle reasons for the
decline. The inefficiencies in its Shady Grove manufacturing operations
caused longer production lead times and hurt the Company's ability to take
advantage of market opportunities. While the Company has significant capital
with which to operate, the Company needed to negotiate an amendment to its
Bank Credit Facility to modify certain financial covenants to make them less
restrictive. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Management of the Company has undertaken a number of initiatives which it
believes will improve operating results during fiscal 2000 including (i) the
termination of approximately 170 employees which should create annual cost
savings of approximately $11 million, (ii) the closing of the Sunderland
manufacturing facility which should improve income from operations by
approximately $3.6 million and (iii) the completion of certain systems
implementation and operational improvement programs which should reduce outside
consulting costs by approximately $8 million. Management believes that the
combination of these initiatives together with improved efficiencies at the
Company's Shady Grove manufacturing facilities, will enable the Company to
improve operating results and cash flows. However, there can be no assurance
that the actions taken by the Company will improve fiscal 2000 operating
results. In the event that results do not improve, the Company may need to seek
further modifications of the financial covenants contained in its Bank Credit
Facility.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For financial reporting purposes, the Acquisition created a new basis of
accounting and, accordingly, the Company was required to report results prior to
the Acquisition separate from results subsequent to the Acquisition. For
purposes of the following discussion of the Company's results of operations, the
Company has compiled certain financial information for the fiscal year ended
October 3, 1998 by combining results of operations for the seven months ended
April 28, 1998 (prior to the Acquisition) with those for the five months October
3, 1998 (subsequent to the Acquisition). In connection with the Acquisition, the
Company was formed as a limited liability company and its capital structure was
changed significantly. Accordingly, comparisons of interest, taxes, and net
income for fiscal 1998 relative to fiscal 1997 would not be meaningful and are
therefore not presented.

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 also generates a portion of its net sales from after-market sales
(parts, service and used equipment) 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.

The following is a summary of net sales for the periods indicated (dollars in

(1)  Excludes specialty cranes and equipment sold to the U.S. government.

(2)  Includes specialty cranes and equipment sold to the U.S. government and
     revenues from unit sales accounted for as operating leases.

Consistent with industry practice, particularly in Germany, certain of the
Company's mobile hydraulic crane sales (generally less than 5% of units sold
annually) are made with residual value guarantees under which the full sales
price is collected in cash on normal commercial terms following delivery of the
cranes. However, these sales are accounted for in a manner similar to operating
leases. Upon collection, the sales price is deferred and accounted for as
deferred revenue (current and non-current) while the related inventory is
reclassified as "property, plant and equipment/equipment held for rent." Over
the term of the residual value guarantee, deferred revenue is recognized as
sales and the depreciation of the related equipment held for rent is classified
as cost of goods sold, the effect of which is to recognize sales, costs of goods
sold and gross profit over the residual value guarantee period, typically five
years, as opposed to at the time of delivery of the crane. Losses with respect
to residual value guarantees have been insignificant. See Note 3 of Notes to
Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Set forth below is certain information regarding the Company's results of
operations for fiscal 1997, fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999 (dollars in thousands).

FISCAL 1999 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1998

NET SALES. Net sales decreased $88.8 million, or 10.2%, from $870.0 million for
fiscal 1998 to $781.2 million for fiscal 1999. New equipment sales decreased $88
million, or 13.0%, principally as the result of lower unit sales by the Grove
Crane and Grove Manlift operating divisions. These declines are principally
related to (i) production delays at the Company's Shady Grove manufacturing
facilities, which impacted the Company's ability to take advantage of market
opportunities and (ii) softer demand for certain products resulting from
distributors and rental companies delaying purchasing decisions as the result of
uncertainty caused by mergers and acquisitions within the Company's customer
base. After-market sales for the Company, including parts and services,
increased slightly from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999. This increase was due
primarily to an increase in parts and service sales and used equipment sales.
Other sales for the Company decreased 5.6% as a result of lower sales to the
U.S. government, offset to some extent by higher revenues from unit sales that
were accounted for as operating leases.

Net sales for the Grove Crane division declined $40.3 million, or 7.0%, from
$577.5 million in fiscal 1998 to $537.2 million in fiscal 1999 on lower unit
sales. The decline was almost entirely related to sales of North American
customers. The impact of lower unit sales was offset to some extent by a shift
in product mix to higher sales value units.

Net sales for the Grove Manlift division decreased $40.7 million, or 19.9%, from
$204.7 million in fiscal 1998 to $164.0 million in fiscal 1999. Unit sales of
aerial work platforms were down as a result of a weaker North American market,
partially offset by increases in sales to European customers.

Net sales the National Crane division decreased $7.8 million, or 8.9%, from
$87.8 million in fiscal 1998 to $80.0 million in fiscal 1999. Net sales to North
American customers declined but were slightly offset by an increase in sales to
Latin American customers.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit, excluding the write-off of amounts assigned to
inventory in excess of historical costs in fiscal 1998, decreased $36.8
million, or 19.9%, from $184.6 million in fiscal 1998 to $147.8 million in
fiscal 1999, as a result of higher price concessions, lower volume, and
inefficiencies caused by the start-up of the Company's new information
systems in the United States. These factors contributed to a lower gross
margin for fiscal 1999 versus fiscal 1998. Gross profit was also adversely
impacted by the closure of the Sunderland U.K. manufacturing facility which
incurred losses of $3.6 million for the period ending December 1998, the date
of final closure.

SELLING, ENGINEERING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling,
engineering, general and administrative expenses decreased $7.1 million, or
5.4%, from $131.8 million in fiscal 1998 to $124.7 million in fiscal 1999. As
a percentage of net sales, selling, engineering, general and administrative
expenses were 15.2% in fiscal 1998 and 16.0% in fiscal 1999. Although George
Group expenses increased $4.1 million in fiscal 1999, from $2.7 million in
fiscal 1998 to $6.8 million in fiscal 1999, the Company's operations
improvement program as well as reducing the Company's cost structure through
workforce reduction, has more than offset the increases. Fiscal 1999 includes
a change for special one-time early retirement benefits of $2.3 million and a
pension and postretirement curtailment gain of $3.3 million.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations, excluding the write-off of
amounts assigned to inventory in excess of historical costs in fiscal 1998,
decreased $28.2 million. The declines were principally related to lower
operating profits by the Grove Crane division caused by the factors described
above.

INTEREST INCOME (EXPENSE), NET. Net interest expense increased $21.2 million in
fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998 as the result of a full year of interest
expense on borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility and the Senior Subordinated
Notes in fiscal 1999 as compared to only five months in fiscal 1998.


                                      13

INCOME TAXES. The Company's business is operated as a limited liability
company organized under the laws of Delaware, as a result of which (i) Grove
Worldwide LLC is not itself subject to income tax, (ii) the taxable income of
the mobile hydraulic crane, aerial work platform and truck-mounted crane
businesses in the United States is allocated to the equity holders of Grove
Worldwide, and (iii) such equity holders are responsible for income taxes on
such taxable income. The Company intends to make distributions in the form of
dividends to equity holders of Grove Worldwide to enable them to meet their
tax obligations with respect to income allocated to them by the Company.
Income taxes expense for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and fiscal
1999 related principally to the Company's subsidiary in Waverly, Nebraska,
which is incorporated as a C-corporation, and the Company's German subsidiary.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997

NET SALES. Net sales increased $13.2 million, or 1.5%, from $856.8 million for
fiscal 1997 to $870.0 million for fiscal 1998. New equipment sales increased
$9.4 million or 1.4% principally as the result of higher sales by the Grove
Manlift and National Crane operating divisions. After-market sales for the
Company, including parts and services, decreased slightly from fiscal 1997 to
fiscal 1998. This decrease was due primarily to a modest decrease in used
equipment sales partially offset by a slight increase in parts sales. Other
sales for the Company increased 10.5% as a result of higher revenue from unit
sales that were accounted for as operating leases, partially offset by lower
revenues following the completion of a non-recurring contract for crane
refurbishment with the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom.

Net sales for the Grove Crane division declined $9.5 million, or 1.6%, from
$587.0 million in fiscal 1997 to $577.5 million in fiscal 1998 on higher unit
sales. The decline in net sales was caused by a shift in product mix and higher
price concessions, primarily on mobile hydraulic cranes produced by the
Company's Sunderland, U.K. facility. While net sales to North American and
European customers remained stable, net sales to Asia declined. The modest
decline in net sales to the Asian market was a result of Asia's recent economic
crisis.

Net sales for the Grove Manlift division increased $5.9 million, or 2.9%, from
$198.8 million in fiscal 1997 to $204.7 million in fiscal 1998. Unit sales of
aerial work platforms were down; however, net sales increased as a result of
improved sales mix.

Net sales for the National Crane division increased $16.8 million, or 23.6%,
from $71.0 million in fiscal 1997 to $87.8 million in fiscal 1998. Net sales
increased as the result of increased production capacity as well as
significantly increased demand for higher priced models.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit, excluding the write-off of amounts assigned to
inventory in excess of historical cost in fiscal 1998, decreased $18.7 million,
or 9.2%, from $203.3 million in fiscal 1997 to $184.6 million in fiscal 1998.
The decline in gross profit was attributable to a $14.8 million decline in gross
profit at the Company's Sunderland, U.K. facility caused by higher price
concessions and lower sales volume available to absorb fixed overhead. The
higher price concessions were primarily required to induce the sale of U.K.
manufactured products, including 17 all-terrain cranes that were built to order
for a customer that refused delivery in fiscal 1998. The sale of the 17 cranes,
which were sold for approximately $8.2 million during the second quarter of
fiscal 1998, resulted in a loss of approximately $1.5 million.

SELLING, ENGINEERING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, engineering,
general and administrative expenses increased $7.6 million, or 6.1%, from $124.2
million in fiscal 1997 to $131.8 million in fiscal 1998. As a percentage of net
sales, selling, engineering, general and administrative expenses were 14.5% in
fiscal 1997 and 15.2% in fiscal 1998. The expense growth occurred broadly across
the Company as the result of the impact of the Acquisition on operations.
Included in selling, engineering, general and administrative expenses for fiscal
1998 are approximately $2.7 million of George Group expenses and $3.1 million of
ownership

                                      14
<PAGE>

transition costs related to the sale of the Company and the hiring of new
management. Included in selling, engineering, general and administrative
expenses for fiscal 1997 are approximately $2.0 million in restructuring
charges related to the U.K. crane manufacturing operation.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS. Income from operations, excluding the write-off of
amounts assigned to inventory in excess of historical costs in fiscal 1998,
decreased $23.5 million. The declines were principally related to lower
operating profits by the Grove Crane and Grove Manlift divisions caused by
the factors described above.

GEOGRAPHIC COMPARISONS DURING THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 2, 1999.

Net sales to unaffiliated customers by the Company's domestic subsidiaries
contributed 68% of the Company's sales in fiscal 1999 and virtually all of
its income from operations. Net sales to unaffiliated customers by the
Company's domestic subsidiaries decreased by $98.4 million or 15.6% in fiscal
1999 as compared to fiscal 1998. The decline in net sales by the Company's
domestic subsidiaries occurred in each of the Company's product lines. Net
sales to unaffiliated customers by the Company's foreign subsidiaries
increased by $9.6 million or 4.0% in fiscal 1999 as compared to fiscal 1998.
The increase in net sales by the Company's foreign subsidiaries was primarily
the result of higher aerial work platform sales. Operating losses by the
Company's U.K. operations of approximately $5.9 million in fiscal 1999
partially offset operating earnings of the Company's German and French
subsidiaries during the same period.

Net sales to unaffiliated customers by the Company's domestic subsidiaries
contributed in excess of 70% of the Company's sales in fiscal 1998 and
virtually all of its income from operations. Net sales to unaffiliated
customers by the Company's domestic subsidiaries increased by $23.8 million
or 3.9% in fiscal 1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. The increase in net sales
by the Company's domestic subsidiaries occurred by strong sales of aerial
work platforms and truck-mounted cranes. Net sales of mobile hydraulic cranes
by the Company's domestic subsidiaries were virtually unchanged in fiscal
1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. Net sales to unaffiliated customers by the
Company's foreign subsidiaries decreased by $10.6 million or 4.2% in fiscal
1998 as compared to fiscal 1997. The decrease in net sales by the Company's
foreign subsidiaries was primarily the result of Sunderland's completion of
the Ministry of Defense contract in February 1998. Recurring operating losses
by the Company's manufacturing facility in Sunderland, U.K. of approximately
$15.9 million in fiscal 1998 exceeded all of the operating earnings of the
Company's German and French subsidiaries during the same period.

Net sales to unaffiliated customers by the Company's domestic subsidiaries
contributed in excess of 70% of the Company's sales in fiscal 1997 and
virtually all of its net income. Recurring operating losses by the Company's
manufacturing facility in Sunderland, U.K. of approximately $2.5 million in
fiscal 1997 offset virtually all of the operating earnings of the Company's
German and French subsidiaries during the same period.

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 fiscal 1999, the Company's operating activities generated
approximately $686,000 in operating cash flow. This amount resulted primarily
from income from operations before non-cash charges of $49.7 million and
declines in the investment in working capital of $5.7 million offset by
payments for interest expense of $39.3 million and costs related to the
closure of the Sunderland manufacturing facility of $17.3 million.

                                      15
<PAGE>

During fiscal 1999, the Company used $19.3 million in investing activities,
consisting of $9.4 million for capital expenditures and $23.8 million for
investment in equipment held for rent (due to the operating lease treatment
relating to certain sales which are accounted for as operating leases). Such
amounts were offset by proceeds from the sales of property and equipment of
$3.4 million and the final payment from Hanson of $10.5 million related to
the post closing purchase price adjustment. The cash flows used in investing
activities were funded from cash resources.

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.

The Company has a $125 million Revolving Credit Facility, expiring in fiscal
2005, permitting it, subject to certain borrowing conditions, to obtain
revolving credit loans and issue letters of credit for working capital,
acquisitions and general corporate purposes. A portion of the Revolving
Credit Facility is available for borrowing in the Eurocurrency markets of
British pounds sterling, German marks and French francs and certain other
currencies. Subsequent to year end, in order to obtain modification of
certain financial covenants to make them less restrictive, the Company
negotiated an amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement which provides for (i)
higher borrowing and facility fee rates and (ii) a $60 million limitation on
the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility available for general corporate
purposes until the Company achieves certain operating results. As of October
2, 1999, the Company had available borrowings of $48.9 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, for general corporate purposes.
Without the covenant modifications, the Company would not have been in
compliance with one of the financial covenants required by the Bank Credit
Facility. For additional information regarding the Revolving Credit
Agreement, see Note 10 of Notes to the Combined and Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company.

The Company also has an agreement with a third-party financial institution to
sell up to $65.0 million of notes receivable obtained under the Company's
special North American Dealer Finance Program. The third-party financial
institution purchases the notes at face value on a 90% non-recourse basis.
The Company retains 10% of the credit risk. The sale of the notes qualifies
as a sale under generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly,
upon sale, the notes receivable are removed from the Company's balance sheet.
See Note 4 of Notes to Combined and Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management believes that the Company's income from operations and available
borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet its
debt service obligations, capital expenditure requirements and distributions
in the form of dividends to equity holders of Grove Holdings to enable them
to meet their tax obligations with respect to income allocated to them by the
Company for at least the next twelve months. Through April 29, 2004, the
Company's annual debt service obligations are limited to (i) principal
payments of $2 million plus 75% of excess cash flow as defined in the bank
credit agreement; (ii) periodic interest payments on borrowings under the
Bank Credit Facility and (iii) and semi-annual interest payments on the 9
1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. Effective November 2003, Grove Holdings is
required to make semi-annual cash interest payments on its $88 million of
11 5/8% senior discount debentures. The cash interest payments are expected to
be generated by distributions from the Company, to the extent permitted under
the Company's borrowing arrangements.

GROVE CAPITAL, INC.

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

The payment obligations of the Company and Grove Capital under the Senior
Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and
several basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the "Subsidiary Guarantees'), all
of which are wholly owned. The Subsidiary Guarantors are Grove U.S. LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, Grove Finance LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, Crane Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation, Crane
Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, and National Crane Corporation, a
Delaware corporation. Grove U.S. LLC and National Crane Corporation are the
Company's domestic operating subsidiaries and together hold substantially all
of the Company's domestic assets. The remaining subsidiaries of the Company,
which are foreign subsidiaries, have not issued, and are not expected to
issue, Subsidiary Guarantees.

No separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors and Grove
Capital are included in this report. The Company considers that such
financial statements would not be material to investors because: (i) this
report does include, in the notes to the combined and consolidated financial
statements of the Company, supplemental financial information, setting forth
on a consolidated basis, balance sheets, statements of operations and cash
flows information for the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries and the Company; and (ii) the above-mentioned note provides
sufficient detail to allow investors to determine the nature of the assets
held by, and the operations and cash flows of the Subsidiary Guarantors and
Grove Capital.

The ability of the Company's subsidiaries to make cash distributions and
loans to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors is not significantly
restricted under the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Indenture
governing the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Bank Credit Facility. The
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee are
limited so as not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.
For more information regarding the assets, liabilities, revenues and cash
flows of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company's non-guarantor
subsidiaries, see Note 22 of Notes to the Combined and Consolidated Financial
Statements of the Company.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog consists of firm orders for new equipment and
replacement parts. Total backlog as of October 2, 1999 was approximately
$178.3 million compared to total backlog as of October 3, 1998 of $163.3
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.

CYCLICALITY

Historically, sales of products manufactured and sold by the Company have
been subject to cyclical variations based, among other things, on general
economic conditions and, in particular, on conditions in the construction
industry. During periods of expansion in construction activity, the Company
generally has benefited from increased demand for construction equipment.
Conversely, during recessionary times, the Company has been adversely
affected by reduced demand for such products. Downward cycles result in
reductions in the Company's new unit sales and prices, which adversely impact
the Company's results of operations.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

Certain computer programs and microprocessors use two digits rather than four
to define the applicable year. Computer programs that have date-sensitive
software and microprocessors may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This phenomenon (the "Year-2000 Issue") could
cause a disruption of operations, including, among other things, a temporary
inability to utilize manufacturing equipment, send invoices or engage in
similar normal business activities.

During the past three fiscal years, the Company conducted a Year-2000
assessment of all management information systems. Upon completing this
review, the Company implemented a program to replace all existing software
and hardware that was not Year-2000 compliant (the "Year-2000 Project"). In
addition to replacing all business application software and hardware, the
Year-2000 Project provided improved business processes and procedures. The
Year-2000 Project was completed in September 1999 and had a total cost of
approximately $39.0 million. The Company has also polled the manufacturers of
its computerized numerical control ("CNC") manufacturing/production equipment
as well as conducted an internal review. In addition, the Company has
communicated with suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which
the Company may be vulnerable to such parties' failure to remediate their own
Year-2000 Issues.

While there is no guarantee that the Company's internal systems are Year-2000
compliant, management believes that it is unlikely that the Company will
experience any interruption in information systems or manufacturing processes
based on the results of the Year-2000 Project. Due to the general uncertainty
inherent in the Year-2000 issue, resulting in part from the uncertainty of
the Year 2000 readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, the Company
is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year-2000
issues will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition. With few exceptions, the Company believes
there are alternative sources of supply for all the major components used in
the manufacture of its products. The Company's most reasonably likely worst
case scenario revolves around the uncertainty with respect to the Year-2000
readiness of the Company's customer base. In the event that there is a
material impact on any of its significant customers as a result of Year 2000
issues, such matter could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
operating results. The Company intends to assess all significant customers
during January 2000 to determine any necessary changes in its production
plans.

IMPACT OF CONVERSION BY THE EUROPEAN UNION TO A COMMON CURRENCY

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European
Union established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies
and the euro, a new European currency, and to adopt the euro as their common
legal currency. Either the euro or a participating country's present currency
will be accepted as legal tender until January 1, 2002, from which date
forward only the euro will be accepted. The euro currently is an additional
currency both in domestic and foreign markets for European businesses
domiciled in the European monetary zone. In fiscal 1999, approximately 18% of
the Company's revenues were derived from operations in member countries of
the European monetary union.

                                      18
<PAGE>

The Company has initiated an assessment of euro-related issues and their
impact on information systems, currency exchange rate risk, employment and
benefits, taxation, contracts, competition, selling prices and costs,
communications, finance and administration. Initially the Company intends to
continue to do business in the national currency of the countries adopting
the euro. Customers and vendors who wish to do business in the euro are being
accommodated by the Company. During fiscal 2000 the Company intends to
upgrade its information systems in Germany and France to facilitate its
ability to transact all business using the euro by January 1, 2002. After
this date all transactions involving the Company with respect to countries
participating in the euro conversion will be based solely on the euro. The
Company does not currently expect the cost of such modifications to have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

The Company has outstanding foreign exchange contracts involving the
currencies of countries participating in the euro conversion. The Company
believes that conversion to the euro may reduce the amount of the Company's
exposure to exchange rate risk, due to the netting effect of having assets
and liabilities denominated in a single currency as opposed to the various
legacy currencies. As a result, the Company's foreign exchange hedging costs
could be reduced. Conversely, because there will be less diversity in the
Company's exposure to foreign currencies, movements of the euro's value
relative to the U.S. dollar could have a more pronounced effect, whether
positive or negative.

The largest European country which is not currently participating in the euro
conversion is the United Kingdom, which, in fiscal 1999, accounted for
approximately 7% of the Company's consolidated net sales. The Company is
considering the potential impact which the United Kingdom's nonparticipation
might have on trading activities with countries participating in the euro
conversion as well as on internal United Kingdom operations.

The Company does not expect the euro conversion, including the costs of
implementation, to have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results
of operations, financial condition or cash flow. However, the Company cannot
guarantee that, with respect to the euro conversion, all problems, including
long-term competitive implications of the conversion, will be foreseen and
corrected, that no material disruption of the Company's business will occur,
or that there will be no delays in the dates targeted by the Company for the
euro conversion process.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company generates hazardous and non-hazardous waste in the normal course
of its manufacturing operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a
wide range of Federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws, including
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 has required, and will
continue to require, expenditures by the Company on a continuing basis. The
Company does not expect that these expenditures will have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

In 1990, the Clean Air Act was amended and established a list of 189 toxic
air pollutants that must be controlled using MACT as prescribed by the EPA.
The Company believes that by 2003 it will be subject to MACT regulations with
respect to its surface coating air omissions. At this time, the Company does
not expect the cost of compliance with these MACT regulations to have a
significant impact on the Company.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Management has not yet evaluated this statement's impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations. Adoption of this statement will
be required for fiscal 2001.

During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up"
Activities. SOP No. 98-5 requires that costs incurred during a start-up
activity be expensed as incurred and that the initial application of the SOP,
as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the SOP is adopted, be
reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The
Company expects to adopt SOP 98-5 in first quarter of fiscal 2000 by
recognizing a charge of $63,000 for the cumulative effect of adoption.

ITEM 7A. 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 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. A summary of the Company's principal
financial instruments which are subject to interest rate risk at October 2,
1999 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

<TABLE>

Revolving credit facility           $    10,000        Floating         10,000

Senior subordinated notes               225,000        9.25%           108,000

</TABLE>

At the Company's option, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, as
amended, (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility) and Term Loan Facility (as
defined in the Bank Credit Facility) bear interest (a) in the case of loans
in U.S. dollars, at the highest of (x) 1/2 of 1.0% in excess of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility) (y) 1.0% in
excess of a certificate of deposit rate and (z) the bank's prime rate, plus
the applicable margin (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility), or (b) in the
case of all loans, the relevant Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Bank
Credit Facility), plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin will vary
based upon the Company's operating results and will range between 1.5% and
3.0% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and between 2.0% and
3.5% for borrowings under the Term Loan Facility. As of October 2, 1999, the
margins for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
Facility were 2.5%. Following the Bank Credit Facility amendment, borrowings
under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan facilities bear interest at LIBOR
plus applicable margins of 3.0% and 3.5%, respectively. The average interest
rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities were
8.33% and 7.71%, respectively, for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and
fiscal 1999.

                                      20
<PAGE>

The Revolving Credit Facility expires in fiscal 2005. The Term Loan Facility
matures in fiscal 2006 and must be repaid in semi-annual installments in
October and April of each fiscal year in an aggregate amount of (i) $2 million
through fiscal 2004, (ii) $88 million during fiscal 2005 and (iii) the
balance in fiscal 2006. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature in fiscal 2008.

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 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 agreement effectively caps the Company's interest rate on
$100.0 million of its floating rate debt at 6.5% plus the applicable margin.

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. For fiscal 1999,
approximately 32% of the Company's net sales were transacted in foreign
currencies, of which approximately 61% was transacted in German marks. During
the past three fiscal years, the impact of currency fluctuations has not had
significant impact on the Company's results of operations. Based on the
Company's overall currency rate exposure at October 2, 1999, a 10% change in
currency rates would not have had a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

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 the 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 October 2, 1999, the Company was a
party to three such contracts with an aggregate estimated fair value of $4.4
million. These forward contracts generally have average maturities of less
than three months. The Company has not taken any actions 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.

Salaried employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Company's
defined benefit pension plan, and each named Executive Officer participates in a
supplemental excess retirement plan. Under the aggregated plans, benefits are
determined based on years of service and average annual base salary (up to
$260,000 for years after 1996) for the highest three of the last 10 years of
service. Benefits under the plan equal 1% of final average pay plus 0.65% of
final average pay in excess of social security covered compensation, minus any
benefits payable under the Company's prior plan. This total benefit is reduced
by benefits from the Grove and Hanson pension plans, 50% of the Primary Social
Security benefit and for employment after July 1, 1984 of less than 20 years.

All of the Named Executive Officers are participants in the pension plan.

DESCRIPTION OF MANAGEMENT OPTION PLAN

In April 1998, Grove Investors, the parent company of Grove Holdings, adopted
the Option Plan. The purpose of the Option Plan is to promote the interests of
Grove Investors and its members by (i) attracting and retaining exceptional
officers and other key employees of Grove Investors and its affiliates,
specifically the Company, and (ii) enabling such individuals to acquire an
equity interest in, and participate in the long-term growth and financial
success of Grove Investors.

Subject to a participant's continued employment with the Company or its
affiliates, options granted under the Option Plan will vest over a five year
period as follows. For each of the first five fiscal years beginning after the
date the options are granted, the options will vest and become cumulatively
exercisable with respect to 20% of Grove Investors' membership interests subject
to such options on the last day of such fiscal year if the Company and its
subsidiaries meet the EBITDA target established for that fiscal year. If the
EBITDA actually achieved for a year is less than the EBITDA target for that
year, then the vesting schedule for that year will be proportionately reduced.
In addition, options will not vest in any year if the actual EBITDA for that
year is less than a minimum percentage of the EBITDA target. No options vested
during fiscal 1999.

To the extent not previously canceled, any unvested portion of an option will,
as of the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Option Plan), be deemed
vested and exercisable immediately prior to such Change in Control. In addition,
as a result of a termination of employment by any participant, Grove Investors
has the assignable right but not the obligation to purchase the participant's
membership interests in Grove Investors for an amount to be calculated based on
the participant's reason for termination of employment.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS - AWARDS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR

During fiscal 1999, Grove Investors adopted a Phantom Share Appreciation
Rights (PSAR) Plan for the purpose of (i) attracting and retaining
exceptional employees and (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in
the long-term growth of the Company. Under this plan, key employees are
granted equity appreciation rights (PSAR). Upon the occurrence of a
"realization event", generally a change of control, as defined, the holder of
the PSAR is paid an amount equal to the fair value of the PSAR over its
initial grant price, plus the cumulative dividends paid by the Company since
the date of grant. Rights cannot be assigned, sold or transferred and
generally vest over a five-year period assuming achievement of certain
earnings targets. Rights vest immediately if a realization event occurs. If
the employee is terminated due to death, disability, or without cause, the
vested portion of the PSAR remains effective and the non-vested portion is
canceled. If the employee is terminated for any other reason, the entire PSAR
is canceled. The committee that administers the plan has the right to
equitably adjust the number of shares, grant price or make cash payments if
it determines that some event has affected the value of the PSAR's to the
employees. The committee is currently authorized to grant up to 20,000 rights
which is the equivalent of approximately a 1% equity interest in Investors.
The committee also has the ability to designate any other event or time other
than a change of control as a realization event. The plan expires after ten
years unless specifically amended. None of the Named Executives participate
in this plan.

During the year ended October 2, 1999, the Company granted 15,640 rights with an
exercise price of 37.5 dollars per right. For the year ended October 2, 1999,
the Company did not achieve the earnings targets; however, the committee
authorized vesting of 20% of the rights. The Company has not recognized any
compensation with respect to the vesting since the estimated fair value of the
underlying equity interest is less than the grant price. At October 2, 1999, the
15,640 rights were outstanding of which 3,128 were vested.

SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company's short-term incentive plan (the "STIP") permits the Company to pay
officers and other key employees, including prospective officers and employees,
of the Company and its affiliates an annual bonus conditioned on the attainment
of certain pre-established financial performance criteria based on EBITDA and
inventory turn targets for the Company and/or designated business sub-units. The
STIP is administered by certain persons designated by the Compensation Committee
of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Mr. Bonanno's employment with the Company terminated on October 5, 1999.
Pursuant to the terms of an employment contract with the Company dated as of
April 28, 1998, Mr. Bonanno is entitled to the following severance: (i)
continued salary for twenty-four months based on an annual salary of $500,000;
(ii) bonus payable in twenty-four monthly payments equal to 1/12 of a target
bonus amount of $500,000; and (iii) a special bonus of $450,000 to be paid on
March 31, 2000. There is no unpaid incentive compensation due with respect to
any prior completed fiscal year, nor is any amount due for incentive
compensation for the completed months of his employment during fiscal year 1999.
The Company exercised its termination call rights to purchase all of Mr.
Bonanno's interests in Grove Investors at fair market value. Effective November
15, 1999, this fair market value of $1,000,000 was applied against the unpaid
principal and interest amounts due under a promissory note for $1,000,000 dated
June 27, 1998. The remaining unpaid interest accrued on the promissory note will
be withheld and offset from the monthly bonus payments. All of Mr. Bonanno's
options under the Option Plan were unvested and therefore were automatically
canceled upon termination.

TERMINATION AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS

In 1997, Messrs. Shull, Simmons and Urbanek entered into separate change of
control agreements with Grove Worldwide. Each executive's agreement provides
that if, within two years after a change in control of Grove Worldwide, (a) the
executive is terminated by Grove Worldwide without Cause (as defined therein) or
due to death, disability or retirement, or (b) the executive terminates his
employment for Good Reason, then, in addition to payment for certain
unreimbursed expenses, deferred compensation, health coverage premiums
(including reimbursement for any income tax liability resulting from such
payment) and other employment-related benefits, the executive will also be
entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to two times the sum of (x) his highest
annual base salary in effect within 180 days prior to the change of control and
(y) his highest annual bonus paid or payable for either of the last two
completed years by the Company or its predecessors. Each executive is also
entitled to the above-described severance amount in the event his employment is
within 180 days prior to a change in control terminated (a) by the Company
without Cause or (b) by him for Good Reason (based on an event that occurred
within the 180-day period) or (c) due to his death.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

In July 1998, a compensation committee, made up of members of the Company's
Management Committee (the "Compensation Committee"), was formed to approve
executive compensation policies. The chairman of the Compensation Committee is
Mr. Henske. Messrs. Crandall and Gruber are also members of the Compensation
Committee, which determines the compensation of the executive officers of the
Company. Traditionally, the Company's compensation practices have been based on
a modified "Hay" system. The Company is currently transitioning into a "market"
value system and is developing procedures to review, and if appropriate, adjust
its salary grades.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Grove
Worldwide LLC and subsidiaries as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income
(loss), member's equity and cash flows for the five months ended October 3,
1998 and the year ended October 2, 1999 (Successor Periods) and the combined
statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), predecessor capital
and cash flows for the seven months ended April 28, 1998 (Predecessor
Period). In connection with our audit of the consolidated and combined
financial statements, we have also audited the consolidated and combined
financial statement schedule listed under Item 14(a)(2). These consolidated
and combined financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated and combined financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grove
Worldwide LLC and subsidiaries as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the Successor
Periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Furthermore, in our opinion, the aforementioned combined financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash
flows of The Grove Companies for the Predecessor Period, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related
combined and consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated and combined financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.

As discussed in note 2 to the combined and consolidated financial statements,
on April 28, 1998 Grove Worldwide LLC acquired The Grove Companies in a
business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the
acquisition, the consolidated information for periods following the
acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods
before the acquisition and, therefore is not comparable.

Proceeds from the equity investment by Holdings of $168,209 were generated by
Holdings through the issuance of 100% of its equity to Investors in exchange
for $120,000, and net proceeds of $48,209 from its issuance of $88,000 of
11-5/8% Senior Discount Debentures due May 2009. Such debentures have no cash
interest requirement prior to November, 2003. On May 1, 2003, the debentures
will have accreted to $88,000 and will require semi-annual payments of
interest based on a per annum rate of 11 5/8%. The cash interest payments are
expected to be generated by distributions from the Company. The equity
investment by Investors in Holdings of $120,000 was generated by Investors
through issuance of its equity to its members for $75,000, and net proceeds
of $45,000 from its issuance of $47,375 of 14 1/2% Senior Debentures. Such
debentures have no cash interest requirement prior to their maturity on May
1, 2010.

The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method. The estimated
total purchase price of $583,000 and related acquisition fees and expenses of
approximately $5,800 have been allocated to the assets and liabilities of the
Company based upon an estimate of their respective fair values, with the
remainder being allocated to goodwill. The Company is amortizing goodwill
over a 40-year period based on the strong brand name of the Company and the
longevity of the business and the industry in which it operates. The
estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
Acquisition are summarized as follows:

(3)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTINGH POLICIES

       (a)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              The Company defines cash equivalents as highly liquid investments
              with initial maturities of three months or less.

       (b)    TRADE RECEIVABLES AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

              Trade receivables are net of allowance for doubtful  accounts of
              $3,075 and $3,095 as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999,
              respectively.

              Notes receivable relate to sales of new equipment to North
              American distributors on terms of up to one year. Payment of
              interest and principal are due at the maturity of the note
              unless the dealer sells the equipment prior to maturity in
              which case the notes must be repaid immediately along with any
              interest accrued thereon.

                         Statements (in thousands of dollars)

                         October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999


       (c)    INVENTORIES

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

       (d)    PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

              Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and
              repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while
              expenditures having the effect of extending the useful life of an
              asset are capitalized. Depreciation is computed primarily using
              the straight-line method. The useful lives by asset category are
              as follows:

<TABLE>
              <S>                                                      <C>
              Land improvements                                        3-20 years
              Buildings and improvements                               10-30 years
              Machinery and equipment                                  3-12 years
              Equipment held for rent                                  Lease term
              Furniture and fixtures                                   3-10 years
</TABLE>

       (e)    GOODWILL

              The excess of the purchase price of the Company and its
              subsidiaries over the fair value of the net assets acquired was
              recorded as goodwill. Amortization expense is recorded on the
              straight-line method over 40 years. The Company assesses the
              recovery of goodwill by determining whether amortization of the
              goodwill over its remaining life can be recovered through
              undiscounted cash flows of the acquired operations. Goodwill
              impairment, if any, is measured by determining the amount by which
              the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value based
              upon discounting of future cash flows.

       (f)    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

              The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets when
              events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be
              impaired. No such losses have been recorded in the accompanying
              financial statements.

                         Statements (in thousands of dollars)

                         October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999


       (g)    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

              Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to
              reduce interest and foreign currency exchange risks and consist
              primarily of interest rate collars and forward foreign exchange
              contracts. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial
              instruments for trading purposes. Gains and losses on foreign
              currency transaction hedges are recognized in income and offset
              the foreign exchange gains and losses of the underlying
              transactions. Gains and losses on foreign currency firm commitment
              hedges are deferred and included in the basis of the transactions
              underlying the commitments.

              The Company has an interest rate collar contract to manage its
              exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The interest rate
              differential on the interest rate contract is reflected as an
              adjustment to interest expense over the life of the contract. Upon
              early termination of an interest rate contract, the gains or
              losses on termination are deferred and amortized as an adjustment
              to the interest expense on the related debt instrument over the
              remaining period originally covered by the contract.

       (h)    REVENUE RECOGNITION

              Revenue is generally recognized as title transfers, usually as
              products are shipped to customers. However, for certain
              transactions, the Company provides guarantees of the residual
              value of the equipment to third party leasing companies. Such
              guarantees generally, given for periods of up to five years, take
              the form of end-of-term residual value guarantees or reducing
              residual value guarantees that decline with the passage of time.
              The Company records these transactions in accordance with the
              lease principles established by Statement of Financial Accounting
              Standards (SFAS) No. 13. If the transaction qualifies as an
              operating lease, the Company records deferred revenue for the
              amount of the net proceeds received upon the equipment's initial
              transfer to the customer. The liability is then subsequently
              reduced on a pro rata basis over the period to the first exercise
              date of the guarantee, to the amount of the guaranteed residual
              value at that date, with corresponding credits to revenue in the
              Company's statement of operations. Any further reduction in the
              guaranteed residual value resulting from the purchaser's decision
              to continue to use the equipment is recognized in a similar
              manner. Depreciation of equipment held for rent is recognized in a
              similar manner over the term of the lease agreement. As of October
              3, 1998 and October 2, 1999, the amount of deferred revenue
              relating to transactions involving residual value guarantees which
              is included in other current or noncurrent liabilities was $80,658
              and $89,250, respectively.

                         Statements (in thousands of dollars)

                         October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999


       (i)    PRODUCT WARRANTIES

              Product warranty expenses are provided for estimated normal
              warranty costs at the time of sale. Additional warranty expense is
              provided for specific performance issues when identified. Specific
              performance issues relate to situations in which the Company
              issues a part replacement notice for models that are experiencing
              a particular problem.

       (j)    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

              The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the
              United States are measured using the local currency as the
              functional currency. Assets, including goodwill, and liabilities
              are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.
              The resulting translation gains and losses are included as a
              separate component of member's equity. Income and expense items
              are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and
              losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries
              are included in net income. Aggregate gains (losses) on foreign
              currency transactions are not material.

       (k)    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

              Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as
              incurred. Research and development costs were $15,427, $8,242,
              $5,878 and $12,371 for the year ended September 27, 1997, the
              seven months ended April 28, 1998, the five months ended October
              3, 1998 and year ended October 2, 1999, respectively, and are
              included as part of selling, engineering, general and
              administrative expenses.

       (l)    ADVERTISING

              All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are
              expensed when incurred. Advertising expense amounted to $4,802,
              $2,324, $1,568 and $2,289 for the year ended September 27, 1997,

       (m)    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

              The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board
              Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, and
              related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based employee
              compensation arrangements.

       (n)    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

              The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at
              which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
              between willing parties, other than a forced sale or liquidation.
              Significant differences can arise between the fair value and
              carrying amount of financial instruments that are recognized at
              historical cost amounts.

              The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
              estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

                      Cash, trade receivables, notes receivable, trade accounts
                      payable and short-term borrowings: The amounts reported in
                      the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value.

                      Foreign  currency  contracts:  The fair value of forward
                      exchange  contracts is estimated  using prices established
                      by financial institutions for comparable instruments.
                      (See note 17)

                      Long-term debt: For bank borrowings, the amount reported
                      in the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value.
                      The fair value of the Senior Subordinated Notes is based
                      on quoted market prices. (See note 10)

       (o)    ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

              In 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
              DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING Activities. This statement
              establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
              instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
              recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured
              at fair value. Management has not yet evaluated this statement's
              impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
              operations. The Company intends to adopt the pronouncement in
              fiscal 2001.

              During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
              Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-5, REPORTING
              ON THE COSTS OF START-UP ACTIVITIES. SOP No. 98-5 requires that
              costs incurred during a start-up activity be expensed as incurred
              and that the initial application of the SOP, as of the beginning
              of the fiscal year in which the SOP is adopted, be reported as a
              cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company
              expects to adopt SOP 98-5 in first quarter of fiscal 2000 by
              recognizing a charge of $63 for the cumulative effect of adoption.

                         October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999


       (p)    USE OF ESTIMATES

              Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
              assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities
              and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
              the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
              revenues and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these
              consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
              accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ
              significantly from those estimates.

       (q)    RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain amounts for fiscal 1998 have been reclassified to conform
              to the presentation for fiscal 1999.

(4)    ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Trade receivables subject the Company to concentration of credit risk,
because they are concentrated in distributors and rental companies that serve
the heavy industrial and construction industries, which are subject to
business cycle variations. For the year ended September 27, 1997 revenues of
approximately 19% of net sales were generated from six major customers, with
no one customer accounting for more than 5% of net sales. For the seven
months ended April 28, 1998 and the five months ended October 3, 1998,
approximately 23% and 24%, respectively, of revenues were generated from five
major customers, with no one customer accounting for more than 10% of net
sales. For the year ended October 2, 1999, approximately 22% of revenues were
generated from six major customers with no one customer accounting for more
than 10% of net sales. Approximately 11% and 13% of the outstanding trade and
notes receivable balance as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999 were due
from these customers, respectively.

The Company generally offers terms of up to 30 days to its customers and
generally obtains a security interest in the underlying machinery sold. In
addition, the Company offers a special financing program primarily to its
U.S. distributors which provides credit terms of periods up to one year in
exchange for an interest-bearing note. The Company generally retains a
security interest in the machinery sold.

                      October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

The Company has an agreement with a major international bank to sell up to
$65,000 of notes receivable generated from sales of mobile hydraulic cranes
and aerial work platforms on credit terms of up to one year on a revolving
basis. The bank purchases the notes receivable at face value on a 90%
non-recourse basis. The agreement provides that the Company purchase credit
insurance on behalf of the bank to insure the 90% risk assumed by the bank.
The Company retains 10% of the credit risk on a first loss basis. The Company
is responsible for administrative and collection activities. The cost of
administrative and collection activities is immaterial. Cash collections on
the notes are deposited directly into an account for the benefit of the major
international bank. The bank has the power to sell or pledge the notes
receivable purchased at any time and the Company has no rights or obligation
to repurchase of the notes receivable.

Notes receivable sold under this arrangement meet the criteria for sale under
FASB Statement No. 125 and, accordingly, are removed from the Company's
balance sheet upon sale. At October 3, 1999, the Company had credit risk of
up to $5,400 with respect to notes receivable that had been sold under the
arrangement.

                         October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999


BANK CREDIT FACILITY -- The Company has a bank credit facility (the "Bank
Credit Facility"), which consists of a $200,000 term loan facility ("Term
Loan Facility") and a $125,000 revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit
Facility"). Subsequent to year end, in order to obtain modifications to
certain financial covenants to make them less restrictive, the Company
negotiated an amendment to the agreement which provided for (i) higher
borrowing and facility fee rates and (ii) a limitation in the amount of the
revolving credit facility available for general operating purposes until the
Company achieves certain operating results. As amended, the Revolving Credit
Facility enables the Company to obtain revolving credit loans for working
capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility are limited to $60,000 for working capital and
general corporate purposes until the Company achieves a defined level of
operating results. During the year ended October 2, 1999, the Company had
$10,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility for slightly more
than one quarter of the year. In addition, a portion of the Revolving Credit
Facility is available for permitted acquisitions as defined in the agreement.
A portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is available for borrowings by the
Company in the Eurocurrency markets of British pounds sterling, German marks,
French francs and certain other currencies. The Company also pays a 0.50% fee
on the unused portion of the Bank Credit Facility. Without the covenant
modifications, the Company would not have been in compliance with one of the
financial covenants required by the Bank Credit Facility. Management has
undertaken a number of initiatives to improve the Company's operating
results. In the event that results do not improve, the Company may need to
seek further modifications to the covenants contained in the Bank Credit
Facility.

Furthermore, the amendment provides that at the Company's option, loans under
the Bank Credit Facility bear interest (a) in the case of loans in U.S.
dollars, at the highest of (x) 1/2 of 1% in excess of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility), (y) 1.0% in excess
of a certificate of deposit rate and (z) the bank's prime rate, plus the
applicable margin (as defined in the Bank Credit Facility), or (b) in the
case of all loans, the relevant Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Bank
Credit Facility) as determined by the Lender, plus the applicable margin. The
applicable margin will vary based upon the Company's operating results and
will range between 1.5% and 3.0% for borrowings under the Revolving Credit
Facility and between 2.0% and 3.5% for borrowings under the Term Loan
Facility. At October 2, 1999, borrowings of $10,000 were outstanding under
the Revolving Credit Facility, bearing interest based on LIBOR plus an
applicable margin of 2.5% (8.0% at October 2, 1999). The interest rate on
borrowings under the Term Loan Facility at October 2, 1999 was based on LIBOR
plus an applicable margin of 2.5% (8.0% at October 2, 1999). Following the
Bank Credit Facility amendment, borrowings under the Revolving Credit and
Term Loan Facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.0%
and 3.5%, respectively. The average interest rate on borrowings under the
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facilities were 8.33% and 7.71%, respectively,
for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and fiscal 1999.

The Term Loan Facility has a term of eight years and must be repaid in
semi-annual installments in October and April of each fiscal year in an
aggregate amount of (i) $2,000 through fiscal 2004, (ii) $88,000 during
fiscal 2005 and (iii) the balance during fiscal 2006. The Revolving Credit
Facility has a term of seven years. The Company is required to make annual
payments, in excess of the schedule principal payments, on the Term Loan
Facility of up to 75% of the Company's "excess cash flow" as defined in the
Bank Credit Facility. No payments are due with respect to this provision for
the year ended October 2, 1999. In addition, the Bank Credit Facility
requires mandatory prepayments upon the occurrence of certain events
including the change of control of Holdings. At October 2, 1999, the Company
had outstanding letters of credit of $1,100 and available borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility, as amended, for general operating purposes of
$48,900.

The obligations of the Company under the Bank Credit Facility are guaranteed
by Holdings and each of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (the
"Guarantors"). The obligations of the Company under the Bank Credit Facility
are secured by a first priority lien (subject to permitted encumbrances) on
substantially all of the Company's and each Guarantor's real, personal, and
intellectual property and on the capital stock of the Company and all of the
capital stock of the Company's domestic and certain of its foreign
subsidiaries.

In addition, the Bank Credit Facility contains various covenants that
restrict the Company from taking various actions and that require the Company
to achieve and maintain certain financial ratios.

SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES -- The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a
rate of 9 1/4% per annum payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of
each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations of
the Company and its co-issuer, Grove Capital, Inc., and are guaranteed by all
of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (see note 22). The Senior Subordinated
Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at
any time on or after, May 1, 2003, at a declining redemption price and mature
on May 1, 2008.

In addition, at any time prior to May 1, 2001, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Senior
Subordinated Notes at 109.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, with net proceeds of one
or more public offerings of the Company's equity (or that of Investors or
Holdings), provided at least 65% of the principal amount of the originally
issued Senior Subordinated Notes remain outstanding. Upon the occurrence of a
change of control, as defined in the Indenture governing the Senior
Subordinated Notes (the "Indenture"), each holder of the Senior Subordinated
Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's
notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if
any, thereon to the date of purchase.

The Indenture contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the
ability of the Company to (i) pay dividends, redeem capital stock or make
certain other restricted payments, (ii) incur additional indebtedness or
issue certain preferred equity interests, (iii) merge into or consolidate
with certain other entities or sell all or substantially all of its assets,
(iv) create liens on assets and (v) enter into certain transactions with
affiliates or related persons.

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 made
to certain of its foreign subsidiaries to consummate the acquisition of
Hanson's crane and aerial work platform subsidiaries in the U.K., Germany and
France and for working capital requirements. 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.

The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt at October 2, 1999
was approximately $296,000.

Aggregate  annual  scheduled  maturities of long-term debt at October 2, 1999
are $2,000 during each of the next five fiscal years.

INTEREST EXPENSE -- Interest income (expense), net consists of the following
for the year ended September 27, 1997, the seven months ended April 28, 1998,
the five months ended October 3, 1998 and year ended October 2, 1999.

                      October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

The Company has entered into an interest rate agreement with a major
commercial bank to collar the interest rate on approximately $100,000 of the
Company's floating rate borrowings for the three years ended September 2001.
Under the agreement the Company will receive, on a $100,000 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. If the contract was terminated at October 2,
1999, the Company would have had a gain of approximately $302.

(12)   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans which cover substantially
all of its U.S. employees. Plans covering salaried employees provide pension

funds benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, while retirees pay monthly premiums.
These benefits are subject to deductibles co-payment provisions and other
limitations.

                      October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation for 1998 was 9.0%, with subsequent annual
decrements of 0.5% to an ultimate trend rate of 5.5%. The assumed health care
cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated post retirement benefit
obligation for 1999 was 7.5% decreasing gradually over 18 years to an
ultimate trend rate of 5.0%. A one percentage point increase in the assumed
health care cost rate for each year would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by approximately 13% as of October 2, 1999
and the net postretirement benefit costs by approximately 11% for the year
ended October 2, 1999.

The components of the net periodic benefits costs for all U.S. defined
benefit plans for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1997, for the seven
months ended April 28, 1998, for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and
the year ended October 2, 1999 are summarized below:

During the year ended October 2, 1999, in an effort to reduce operating costs
at its Shady Grove Facility, the Company involuntarily terminated or offered
special one-time early retirement benefits to approximately 220 employees.
These actions, together with other voluntary terminations, resulted in a
curtailment gain of $3,300 which was recognized in net periodic pension costs
for the year ended October 2, 1999. The special one-time early retirement
benefits resulted in net periodic benefit costs of $2,300 for the year ended
October 2, 1999.

The Company also sponsors defined benefit pension plans which cover
substantially all of its foreign employees. The following tables provide
reconciliations of the changes in benefit obligations and plan assets for the
five months ended October 3, 1998 and the year ended October 2, 1999 and the
funded status of the plans as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999.

Assets of domestic and foreign defined benefit plans consist principally of
investments in equity securities, debt securities, and cash equivalents.

The Company also has a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
of its U.S. employees. Eligible employees may contribute a portion of their
base compensation to the plan and their contributions are matched by the
Company at rates specified in the Plan documents. Contributions by the
Company for the year ended September 27, 1997, for the seven months ended
April 28, 1998, the five months ended October 3, 1998 and year ended October
2, 1999 were approximately $1,902, $1,169, $835 and $1,708, respectively.

(13)   MANAGEMENT OPTION AND SHARE APPRECIATION PLANS

In connection with the Acquisition, Investors established a management option
plan whereby the Investor Management Committee can grant options to purchase
equity units of Investors to key employees of the Company at fair market
value. The options generally vest over a five-year period only upon the
achievement of certain earning targets. During the five months ended October
3, 1998 and year ended October 2, 1999, Investors granted options to
employees to purchase 2,700 and 1,237.5 Class A units of Investors,
respectively, with an exercise price of 1,000 dollars per unit which will
expire in 2008. At October 2, 1999, 3,937.5 options were outstanding and no
amounts were vested. The estimated weighted average fair value of options
granted during the five months ended October 3, 1998 and the year ended
October 2, 1999 was 275 dollars per unit assuming an option life of six
years, a risk free interest rate of 5.5% and no dividends or volatility rate.
Had the Company accounted for the options in accordance with the provisions
of FASB Statement No. 123 compensation expense with respect to options
granted in the five months ended October 3, 1998 and the year ended October
2, 1999 would have been immaterial.

                       October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

During fiscal 1999, Investors adopted a Phantom Share Appreciation Rights
(PSAR) Plan for the purpose of (i) attracting and retaining exceptional
employees and (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in the long-term
growth of the Company. Under this plan, key employees are granted equity
appreciation rights (PSAR). Upon the occurrence of a "realization event",
generally a change of control, as defined, the holder of the PSAR is paid an
amount equal to the fair value of the PSAR over its initial grant price, plus
the cumulative dividends paid by the Company since the date of grant. Rights
cannot be assigned, sold or transferred and generally vest over a five-year
period assuming achievement of certain earnings targets. Rights vest
immediately if a realization event occurs. If the employee is terminated due
to death, disability, or without cause, the vested portion of the PSAR
remains effective and the non-vested portion is canceled. If the employee is
terminated for any other reason, the entire PSAR is canceled. The committee
that administers the plan has the right to equitably adjust the number of
shares, grant price or make cash payments if it determines that some event
has affected the value of the PSAR's to the employees. The committee is
currently authorized to grant up to 20,000 rights which is the equivalent of
approximately a 1% equity interest in Investors. The committee also has the
ability to designate any other event or time other than a change of control
as a realization event. The plan expires after ten years unless specifically
amended.

During the year ended October 2, 1999, the Company granted 15,640 rights with
an exercise price of 37.5 dollars per right. For the year ended October 2,
1999, the Company did not achieve the earnings targets, however, the
committee authorized vesting of 20% of the rights. The Company has not
recognized any compensation with respect to the vesting since the estimated
fair value of the underlying equity interest is less than the grant price. At
October 2, 1999, the 15,640 rights were outstanding of which 3,128 were
vested.

(14)  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 five months
ended October 3, 1998 or the year ended October 2, 1999.

The provision for income taxes following the Acquisition, will be limited to
foreign taxes with respect to earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries
and U.S. state and local taxes with respect to the earnings of the Company's
truck-mounted crane business.

                       October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

For periods prior to the Acquisition, each of the Grove Companies filed their
own income tax returns or were part of a consolidated group return with other
Hanson entities. Income tax expense for such periods was determined as if the
Grove Companies were a stand-alone entity. In connection with the
Acquisition, Hanson has indemnified the Company with respect to certain tax
obligations arising from activities occurring prior to the Acquisition.

Domestic and foreign income (loss) before income taxes were as follows for
the fiscal year ended September 27, 1997, for the seven months ended April
28, 1998, for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and year ended October 2,
1999:

The income tax rate reconciliation for the seven months ended April 28, 1998
was not presented since the information was deemed not meaningful. The income
tax provision for the seven months ended April 28, 1998 includes no benefit
for approximately $19,000 of losses incurred by the Company's foreign
subsidiaries. Income taxes for the five months ended October 3, 1998 and the
year ended October 2, 1999 relate principally to the Company's subsidiary in
Waverly, Nebraska, which is incorporated as a C-corporation, and the
Company's German subsidiary.

(15)   RESTRUCTURING AND PLANT SHUTDOWN

In 1997, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $1,960
related to the gradual phase-out of crane production at its Sunderland,
United Kingdom location. All amounts have been expended as of September 27,
1997.

The Company has closed its Sunderland UK manufacturing facility as the result
of recurring operating losses. Management believes closing the facility will
improve operating earnings as well as provide the opportunity for additional
cost reductions through product rationalization, reduced selling, general and
administrative expenses and reduced manufacturing costs. In connection with
accounting for the Acquisition (see note 2), the Company accrued the
estimated closure costs of approximately $18,500. During the year ended
October 2, 1999, the Company expended $10,100 for severance and related costs
and incurred $7,200 of plant shutdown and related costs. As of October 2,
1999, $264 of severance and approximately $448 of plant shutdown costs
remains to be expended. The unused portion of the original estimate of
approximately $500 has been reversed against goodwill.

(16)   LEASES

The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space, machinery and other
equipment under noncancelable operating leases with varying terms, some of
which contain renewal and/or purchase options.

The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments required
under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease
terms in excess of one year:

Rental expense associated with operating leases was approximately $3,489,
$2,496, $1,795 and $4,977 for the year ended September 27, 1997 and the seven
months ended April 28, 1998, the five months ended October 3, 1998 and year
ended October 2, 1999, respectively. It is expected that, in the normal
course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by leases
on other property and equipment.

(17)   FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Through its foreign currency hedging activities, the Company seeks to
minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of products
manufactured in a currency different from that of the selling company will be
affected by changes in exchange rates. Management responds to foreign
exchange movements through various means, such as pricing actions, changes in
cost structure, and changes in hedging strategies.

The Company may hedge its foreign currency transactions and firm sales
commitment exposures, based on management's judgment, through forward
exchange contracts. These forward exchange contracts are purchased from local
banks. Some of the contracts involve the exchange of two foreign currencies
according to the local needs of the companies.

The following table summarizes the contractual amounts of the Company's
forward exchange contracts as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999,
including details by major currency as of October 2, 1999. Foreign currency
amounts were translated at the current rate as of the reporting date. The
"sell" amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalent of commitments to sell
foreign currencies, and the "buy" amounts represent the U.S. dollar
equivalent of commitments to purchase foreign currencies.

The Company's credit exposure on its foreign currency derivatives was $192
and $94 as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999, respectively. Gross
deferred realized gains and losses on firm commitments were not significant
as of October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999. Substantially all of the amounts
deferred at October 3, 1998 are expected to be recognized in income during
fiscal year 1999, when the gains or losses on the underlying transactions
will also be recognized.

(18)   OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various lawsuits and administrative proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters primarily involve
claims for damages arising out of the use of the Company's products as well
as employment matters and commercial disputes. Some of these lawsuits include
claims for punitive as well as compensatory damages. The Company is insured
for product liability and workers' compensation claims for amounts in excess
of established deductibles and accrues for the estimated liability up to the
limits of the deductibles. The Company accrues for all other claims and
lawsuits on a case-by-case basis. The Company's estimate of the undiscounted
costs associated with legal and environmental exposures is accrued if, in
management's judgment, the likelihood of a loss is probable. The Company's
policy is to also accrue the probable legal costs to be incurred in defending
the Company against such claims. The Company has followed this policy during
each of the periods in the three-year period ended October 2, 1999, with
respect to all investigations, claims and litigation. Insurance recoveries
for environmental and certain general liability claims are not recognized
until realized.

In the opinion of management, while the ultimate results of lawsuits or other
proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, the
amounts accrued for awards or assessments in connection with these matters
are adequate and, accordingly, management believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company.
As of October 2, 1999, the Company had no known probable but inestimable
exposures that could have a material effect on the Company.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND WORKERS' COMPENSATION -- Hanson, on behalf of the
Company, purchased an insurance policy which effectively indemnifies the
Company against North American product liability and workers' compensation
claims arising prior to October 1, 1997 up to an aggregate loss limit of
$85,000. Losses in excess of that amount, if any, are the responsibility of
the Company. For product liability claims arising on or after October 1,
1997, the Company is self-insured for losses up to $2,000 per occurrence,
with a $15,000 annual aggregate loss limit. For workers' compensation claims
arising on or after such date, the Company is self-insured for losses up to
$250 per occurrence with a $1,000 annual aggregate loss limit. Losses over
the loss limits are covered by umbrella insurance coverage up to $100,000.
The Company accrues a reserve for the estimated amount of claims which will
be self-insured. The estimates are provided by a third party actuary based
upon historical trends. The reserve for claims includes estimates of legal
and administrative costs to be incurred.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS -- The Company is also involved in lawsuits and
administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of
hazardous substances into the environment. Certain of these claims assert
damages and liability for remedial investigations and cleanup costs with
respect to sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially
responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations
(off-site). Other matters involve sites that the Company currently owns and
operates or has previously sold (on-site). For off-site claims, the Company
makes an assessment of the costs involved based on environmental studies,
prior experience at similar sites,

                                      F-33

                      October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

and the experience of other named parties. The Company also considers the
ability of other parties to share costs, the percentage of the Company's
exposure relative to all other parties, and the effects of inflation on these
estimated costs. For on-site matters associated with properties currently
owned, the Company makes an assessment as to whether an investigation and
remediation effort is necessary and estimates other potential costs
associated with the site.

OTHER -- The Company provides guarantees of residual value to third party
financing companies in support of certain customers' financing arrangements.
These guarantees generally are only exercisable should the Company's customer
default on their financing agreements. The Company has not and does not
expect to incur losses under these guarantees. Exercises of these guarantees
have not been significant for the periods in the three years ended October 2,
1999. Aggregate residual value guarantees were approximately $93,000 at
October 2, 1999.

(19)   TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Prior to the Acquisition, the Company received certain services provided by
Hanson PLC and its affiliates, including cash management, tax reporting, and
risk management, and was charged a management fee for such services. The
allocation of these management fees was based on percentage of total group
operating profits in 1997. In the opinion of management, these methods of
allocation were reasonable.

The amount of predecessor capital included in the combined balance sheet
represents a net balance as the result of various transactions between the
Company and its parent, Hanson PLC. There were no terms of settlement
associated with the account balance and generally, there were no interest
charges associated with these balances. The balance is primarily the result
of various equity transactions, as well as the Company's participation in
Hanson's central cash management program, wherein all the Company's cash
receipts were remitted to Hanson and all cash disbursements are funded by
Hanson. Other transactions included in predecessor capital are management
fees, taxes, insurance, employee benefits, and miscellaneous other
administrative expenses incurred by Hanson on behalf of the Company.

and for the seven months ended April 28, 1998 was $1,404 and $2,174,
respectively. Substantially all of the interest expense related to borrowings
by one of the Company's subsidiaries from Hanson which are classified as
predecessor capital in the combined statements of predecessor capital. Such
borrowings averaged $19,000 for the years ended September 27, 1997 and for
the seven months ended April 28, 1998.

The Company made advances to Holdings of $3,649 and $850, respectively,
during the five months ended October 3, 1998 and year ended October 2, 1999.
Such amount included loans to the Company's executive officers to purchase
certain equity interest in Investors and transactions costs incurred by
Holdings and Investors to consummate the Acquisition and related financing.
Such amounts have been accounted for as a reduction of member's equity.

The Company has engaged, under a multi-year agreement, a consulting group
controlled by one of Investor's minority owners, to help the Company develop
and achieve its business plan. For the five months ended October 3, 1998 and
the year ended October 2, 1999, the consulting group was paid approximately
$2,700 and $6,800, respectively, for services rendered. Subsequent to year
end, the agreement was amended.

Corporate, eliminations and other consist principally of corporate
expenses and assets, goodwill and intercompany eliminations. Depreciation
and amortization excludes depreciation of equipment held for rent. For
fiscal 1999, the Company allocates certain assets and expenses between
operating divisions differently than for prior periods. Accordingly, such
information is not comparable.

(21)     SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

Subsequent to year end, the Company adopted and executed a restructuring plan
that resulted in the termination of approximately 170 employees, principally
in its U.S. operations. In connection with the terminations, the Company
incurred severance costs of approximately $4,900, which will be recorded as a
charge in first quarter of fiscal 2000.

(22)   SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

to act as a co-issuer of the Senior Subordinated  Notes (see note 10). At

                      October 3, 1998 and October 2, 1999

The Company's payment obligations under the senior subordinated notes
(see note 10) are guaranteed by all of the Company's domestic
subsidiaries other than Grove Capital, Inc. (the "Subsidiary
Guarantors"). Such guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and
several. The Subsidiary Guarantors are wholly owned by the Company. Grove
Capital, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Grove Capital,
Inc. and the Company are co-obligors of the senior subordinated notes and
are jointly and severally liable for such indebtedness. Separate
financial statements of Grove Capital, Inc. and the Subsidiary Guarantors
are not presented because the Company's management has determined that
they would not be material to investors. The ability of the Company's
subsidiaries to make cash distributions and loans to the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors is not significantly restricted under the terms of
the Company's debt obligations. The following supplemental financial
information sets forth, on a combined and consolidated basis, balance
sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and
statements of cash flows information for the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Company's non-guarantor subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries
on a combined and consolidated basis. A separate column for Grove
Capital, Inc. has not been provided because Grove Capital, Inc. has no
assets or operations and accordingly, such information would not be
meaningful.
