SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report constitute "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements
that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always,
through the use of words or phrases such as "will likely result," "are expected
to," "will continue," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "intends," "plans,"
"projects," and "outlook") are not historical facts and may be forward-looking.
Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, cost
savings, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, cost savings,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements, and accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, such risks, uncertainties
and other factors, which are discussed throughout this report. Such factors
include, among others, the following: (i) substantial leverage, ability to
service debt, and compliance with financial covenants in the Company's Bank
Credit Agreement; (ii) changing market trends in the mobile hydraulic crane,
aerial work platform and truck-mounted crane industries; (iii) general economic
and business conditions including a prolonged or substantial recession; (iv) the
ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and maintain and
enhance its competitive strengths; (v) the ability of the Company to implement
operational improvements; (vi) the ability of the Company to obtain financing
for general corporate purposes; (vii) competition; (viii) availability of key
personnel; (ix) industry overcapacity; and (x) changes in, or the failure to
comply with, government regulations. As a result of the foregoing and other
factors, no assurance can be given as to future results, levels of activity and
achievements, and neither the Company nor any other person assumes
responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statements contained herein speak solely as of
the date on which such statements are made, and the Company undertakes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which such statements were made or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events.

    (1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

         Grove Holdings LLC ("Holdings") is a sole member limited liability
         company formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Limited
         Liability Company Act. Holdings is a sole member limited liability
         company that is owned by Grove Investors LLC ("Investors"). Holdings
         conducts all of its business through the Grove Worldwide LLC (the
         "Company"). All earnings of Holdings are available for distribution to
         Investors subject to restrictions contained in Holdings' debt
         agreements.

         Interim results for the three month period ended January 1, 2000 are
         not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a
         full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated
         financial statements and notes for the year ended October 2, 1999.

    (2)  INVENTORY

         Inventories consist of the following as of October 2, 1999 and January
1, 2000:

</TABLE>

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

    (3)  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 three months ended January 1,
         2000.

         The difference between the Company's reported tax provision for the
         three months ended January 1, 2000 and the tax provision computed based
         on U.S. statutory rates is primarily attributed to the Company's
         structure as a limited liability company.

         expects to pay the remainder of the accrual through October 2001 in
         accordance with separation agreements.

         a comprehensive line of mobile hydraulic cranes, aerial work platforms

GROVE HOLDINGS LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED AND IN THOUSANDS)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(6)      ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         On October 3, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS 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. The impact of adoption of $302 is presented as the
         cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the condensed
         consolidated statement of operations. A summary of the Company's
         hedging strategies and outstanding derivative instruments are
         as follows:

         INTEREST RATE RISK

         The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by monitoring changes
         in interest rate exposure that may adversely impact expected future
         cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. At January 1, 2000,
         the Company has approximately $202 million of variable rate borrowings
         under its bank credit facility. Management believes it prudent to limit
         the variability of its interest payments. To meet this objective, the
         Company has an interest rate collar arrangement with a multinational
         bank to limit its exposure to rising interest rates on $100 million of
         its variable rate bank borrowings. Under the agreement the Company will
         receive, on a $100 million notional amount, three-month LIBOR and pay
         6.5% anytime LIBOR exceeds 6.5%, and will receive three-month LIBOR and
         pay 5.19% anytime LIBOR is below 5.19%. The contract does not require
         collateral.

         The estimated fair value (unrecognized gain) of the interest rate
         collar at October 3, 1999 and January 1, 2000 was $302 and $611,
         respectively. Management has concluded that the interest rate collar
         was ineffective as of October 3, 1999 and throughout the period ended
         January 1, 2000, as LIBOR was below the ceiling rate in the collar of
         6.5%. Accordingly, the Company has recognized $309 as other income and
         $302 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in
         the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months
         ended January 1, 2000.

         FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

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

         At January 1, 2000 the Company had $10.5 million in outstanding forward
         contracts to purchase Deutsche marks with gross unrealized gains and
         losses of $67 and $62, respectively. Each of the contracts are expected
         to settle within 90 days and have been accounted for as hedges under
         FAS 133. Such amounts together with the value of the firm purchase
         commitments have been included in the determination of gross profit
         for the three months ended January 1, 2000.

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

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

OVERVIEW

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

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

Operating results for fiscal 1999 were below historical results. 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. Management of the Company has
undertaken a number of initiatives that it believes will improve operating
results during fiscal 2000. 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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 1, 2000 (THE "FISCAL 2000 THREE MONTHS") COMPARED TO
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 2, 1999 (THE "FISCAL 1999 THREE MONTHS")

NET SALES. Net sales increased $14.8 million, or 9.0%, to $179.1 million for the
fiscal 2000 three months from $164.3 million for the fiscal 1999 three months.
The increase in net sales is principally the result of increased new equipment
unit sales.

Net sales for the Grove Crane division increased $10.4 million, or 9.0%, to
$125.8 million for the fiscal 2000 three months from $115.4 million for the
fiscal 1999 three months. The increase in net sales is the result of higher unit
sales. Net sales to North American customers increased, however this increase
was offset by a decrease in Europe.

Net sales for the Grove Manlift division increased slightly to $33.9 million for
the fiscal 2000 three months from $33.6 million in the fiscal 1999 three months.
The increase was a result of higher unit sales in Europe offset by lower unit
sales in North America.

Net sales for the National Crane division increased $4.0 million, or 26.1%, to
$19.3 million for the fiscal 2000 three months from $15.3 million for the fiscal
1999 three months. Net sales increased as the result of higher unit sales and
increased demand for higher priced models.

After-market sales decreased slightly to $21.2 million in the fiscal 2000 three
months from $21.6 million in the fiscal 1999 three months predominantly due to a
decline in parts and service sales in Europe.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 10.3%, to $29.9 million in
the fiscal 2000 three months from $27.1 in the fiscal 1999 three months. The
increase in gross profit was attributable to an increase in unit volume and
reduced costs. The Fiscal 1999 three months operations were adversely impacted
by costs associated with the start-up of the Company's management information
system in the US and inefficiencies at the Company's Sunderland, U.K.
manufacturing facility prior to its closure in December, 1999.

SELLING, ENGINEERING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, engineering,
general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $1.8 million, or 6.1%, to
$27.9 million in the fiscal 2000 three months from $29.7 in the fiscal 1999
three months. The savings were primarily attributable to cost reductions at the
U.S. facility. Included in SG&A are approximately $0.9 and $2.0 million of
consulting fees, for the fiscal 2000 and 1999 three months, respectively, paid
to the George Group in connection with the Company's operational improvement
program. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 15.6% in the fiscal 2000 three
months and 18.1% in the fiscal 1999 three months.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. In October 1999, the Company adopted and executed a
restructuring plan that resulted in the termination of approximately 170
employees principally in its US operations. In connection with the terminations,
the Company accrued severance costs of $5.0 million. The terminations were
primarily in general and administrative overhead. These terminations are meant
to capture the savings expected as the result of the Company's new management
information system.

<PAGE>

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $1.1 million to $11.6 million for
the fiscal 2000 three months from $10.5 million in the fiscal 1999 three months
primarily as the result of higher borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

BACKLOG. The Company's backlog consists of firm orders for new equipment and
replacement parts. Total backlog as of as of January 1, 2000 was approximately
$224.8 million compared with total backlog as of January 2, 1999 of
approximately $171.7 million. Substantially all of the Company's backlog orders
are expected to be filled within one year, although there can be no assurance
that all such backlog orders will be filled within that time period. Parts
orders are generally filled on an as-ordered basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's business is working capital-intensive, requiring significant
investments in receivables and inventory. In addition, the Company requires
capital for replacement and improvements of existing plant, equipment and
processes. During the three months ended January 1, 2000, the Company generated
approximately $12.0 million of cash in operating activities through a net
reduction of $28.6 million in working capital assets, partially offset by the
operating loss and payment of cash interest expense.

During the fiscal 2000 three months the Company borrowed $15.0 million on its
bank credit facility, made $1.0 million of payments on its bank loan and repaid
$3.6 million of short-term borrowings. Capital expenditures were $1.3 million
for the fiscal 2000 three months and are expected to be approximately $15.0
million for fiscal 2000.

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. The loans
have been established with amounts and interest rates to allow for repatriation
without restriction or additional tax burden. However, there is no assurance
that the foreign subsidiaries will generate the cash flow required to service
the loans or that the laws in the foreign jurisdictions will not change to limit
repatriation or increase the tax burden of repatriation.

GROVE HOLDINGS CAPITAL, INC.

Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Grove Holdings Capital, a Delaware
corporation, issued the Senior Discount Debentures. Grove Holdings Capital was
organized as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings for the purpose of
acting as a co-issuer of the Senior Discount Debentures and was also a
co-registrant of the Registration Statement for the Senior Discount Debentures.
This was done so that certain institutional investors to which the Senior
Discount Debentures were marketed that might otherwise have been restricted in
their ability to purchase debt securities issued by a limited liability company,
such as Holdings, 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 Debentures. Grove Holdings Capital has no subsidiaries, nominal
assets, no liabilities (other than the co-obligation under the Senior Discount
Debentures) and no operations. Grove Holdings Capital does not have any revenues
and is prohibited from engaging in any

                                       10

<PAGE>

business activities. As a result, holders of the Senior Discount Debentures
should not expect Grove Holdings Capital to participate in servicing the
interest and principal obligations on the Senior Discount Debentures.

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

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

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.

To the date of this filing, the Company has not experienced a material impact on
its results of operations, liquidity or financial condition as the result of the
Year 2000 readiness of internal business systems or third-party suppliers and
customers. The Company plans to continue to assess all significant third-party
suppliers and customers and monitor all internal business systems during the
first quarter of calendar 2000 to determine any remedial actions or changes in
its production plans.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT

         MARKET RISK

The Company's principal market risk exposure is changing interest rates,
primarily changes in short term interest rates. The Company does not enter into
financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company's policy
is to manage interest rates through use of a combination of fixed and floating
rate debt. The Company may also use derivative financial instruments to manage
its exposure to interest rate risk.

As of January 1, 2000, $177,000 of the Company's long-term debt, which is
outstanding under its bank term facility, bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%
(9.66%). The Company has $225,000 of Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding
bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9.25%. Holdings has $88,000 face value of
Senior Discount Debentures outstanding accreting interest at a fixed rate of
11.625%.

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

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

On October 3, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS 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. The impact of adoption was
accounted for as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
See note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In order to manage currency risk, the Company's practice is to contract for
purchases and sales of goods and services in the functional currency of the
Company's subsidiary executing the transaction. To the extent purchases or sales
are in currencies other than the functional currency of the subsidiary, the
Company will generally purchase forward contracts to hedge firm purchase and
sales commitments. As of January 1, 2000, the Company was party to nine such
contracts with an aggregate value of $10.5 million. These forward contracts
generally have average maturities of less than three months. The Company has not
taken any action at this time to hedge its net investment in foreign
subsidiaries but may do so in the future.

The Company does not have any commodity contracts.

                                     PART II

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that 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.
