Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
Note 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, representing normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the results of
operations, cash flows and comprehensive income for the quarters and
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the financial position at
June 30, 1999. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year and do not contain information included in the
company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes for the
year ended December 31, 1998. The consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1998 was derived from audited financial statements, but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
the notes thereto included in the company's latest annual report.
All dollar amounts are in thousands throughout these footnotes except
where otherwise indicated.
Note 2. The components of inventory at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 are
summarized as follows:
June 30, December 31,
1999 1998
----------- -------------
Components:
Raw materials $ 43,056 $ 32,564
Work-in-process 24,003 27,882
Finished goods 39,692 42,304
--------- ---------
Total inventories at FIFO costs 106,751 102,750
Excess of FIFO costs
over LIFO value (21,218) (20,772)
--------- ---------
Total inventories $ 85,533 $ 81,978
Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method for 58% and 47% of total inventory at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively. The remainder of the inventory is costed using the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Note 3. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has
identified the company as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and
Liability Act ("CERCLA"), liable for the costs associated with
investigating and cleaning up contamination at the Lemberger Landfill
Superfund Site (the "Site") near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.
Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped
substances to the Site. Eleven of the potentially responsible
parties, including the company, have formed a group (the Lemberger
Site Remediation Group, or LSRG) and have successfully negotiated with
the EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to settle
the potential liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.
Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up the Site
could be as high as $30 million, however, the ultimate allocation of
costs for the Site are not yet final. Although liability is joint and
several, the company's percentage share of liability is estimated to
be 11% of the total cleanup costs. Prior to December 31, 1996, the
company accrued $3.3 million in connection with this matter. The
expenses incurred during the second quarter and first six months of
1999 and 1998 in connection with this matter were not material.
Remediation work at the Site has been completed, with only long-term
pumping and treating of ground water and Site maintenance remaining.
The remaining estimated liability for this matter, included in other
current and noncurrent liabilities at June 30, 1999, is $1.1 million.
As of June 30, 1999, 26 product-related lawsuits were pending. All of
these accidents occurred during years in which the company had
insurance coverages ranging from a $5.5 million self-insured retention
with a $10.0 million limit on the insurer's contribution in 1990, to
the current $1.0 million self-insured retention and $50.0 million
limit on the insurer's contribution.
Product liability reserves at June 30, 1999 are $8.6 million; $3.2
million reserved specifically for the 26 cases referenced above, and
$5.4 million for incurred but not reported claims. These reserves
were estimated using actuarial methods. Based on the company's
experience in defending itself against product liability claims,
management believes the current reserves are adequate for estimated
settlements on aggregate self-insured claims. Any recoveries from
insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims
and the solvency of insurance carriers.
It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental
remediation and product liability costs may change in the near future
based upon new information that may arise. Presently, there is no
reliable means to estimate the amount of any such potential changes.
The company is also involved in various other legal actions arising in
the normal course of business. After taking into consideration legal
counsel's evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of management,
ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial statements.
Assets currently held for sale include land and improvements,
buildings, and certain machinery and equipment at the "Peninsula
facility" located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, as well as closed walk-in
refrigeration plants located in Iowa and Tennessee. The current
carrying value of these assets, determined through independent
appraisals, is approximately $3.8 million and is included in other
assets. The future holding costs, included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses and in other non-current liabilities, consist
primarily of utilities, security, maintenance, property taxes, and
insurance. These reserves also include estimates for potential
environmental liabilities at the Peninsula location. For the second
quarter and first six months of 1999 and 1998, the charges against the
reserve were not material.
Note 4. On February 17, 1999, the company's board of directors authorized a 3-
for-2 stock split of the company's shares in the form of a 50-percent
stock dividend payable on April 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on
March 1, 1999. As a result of the stock split, 8,654,900 shares were
issued. All references in the financial statements to average number
of shares outstanding, earnings per share amounts, and market prices
per share of common stock have been restated to reflect the split.
The company also split its common stock on a 3-for-2 basis on June 30,
1997 and July 2, 1996.
Note 5. The following is a reconciliation of the average shares outstanding
used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share. There is no
earnings impact for the assumed conversions of the stock options in
each of the quarters.

Note 6. On January 11, 1999, the company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Purchasing Support Group LLC (PSG), a four-
member beverage service organization. The new operation, renamed
Manitowoc Beverage Systems, Inc. (MBS), provides full-service parts,
components, and dispenser systems support to bottlers in the beverage
industry. MBS is made up of companies that have been serving soft-
drink bottling operations throughout the United States since the
1960's with a variety of equipment services for beverage dispensing
systems. MBS operates in the Northeast, Atlantic Coast, Southeast,
Central, and Western United States.
The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for the issued and
outstanding shares of the four member companies of PSG was $42,854
which is net of cash acquired of $732 and includes direct acquisition
costs of $394 and assumed liabilities of $5,192. The acquisition was
financed through the Company's existing credit facility. The purchase
price for PSG is subject to a post-closing adjustment based upon net
worth as set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Company
has not recorded any adjustment to the purchase price based upon the
post-closing adjustment as of June 30, 1999.
The acquisition of PSG has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the
basis of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimate of the excess of the
cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is $32,141 and is
being amortized over 40 years. The results of MBS's operations
subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999.
On April 9, 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Kyees Aluminum, Inc., a leading supplier of
cooling components for the major suppliers of fountain soft drink
beverage dispensers, for $25,750 in cash. Kyees' aluminum "cold
plates" are a key component used to chill soft drink beverages in
dispensing equipment. Located in La Mirada, California, Kyees is a
technology leader in manufacturing cold plate equipment, in both
quality and engineering design. The acquisition of Kyees was financed
through the Company's existing credit facility.
The acquisition of Kyees has been recorded using the purchase method
of accounting. The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the
basis of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimate of the excess of the
cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired is $22,686 and is
being amortized over 40 years. The results of Kyees' operations
subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999.
Note 7. On May 28, 1999, the company entered into an accounts receivable sales
arranement with a bank. Under this arrangement, the company sold
$15.1 million of accounts receivable to the bank through June 30,
1999.
On April 6, 1999, the Company amended and restated its existing Credit
Agreement (Agreement), with a group of banks in order to increase the
amount of funds available and to extend the termination date to April
6, 2004. The amended and restated Agreement provides for maximum
borrowings of $300 million under revolving loans and a letter of
credit subfacility.
The Agreement includes covenants the most restrictive of which require
the maintenance of various debt and net worth ratios. An annual
commitment fee, calculated based upon the company's consolidated
leverage ratio as defined by the Agreement, is due on the unused
portion of the facility quarterly. Borrowings under the Agreement
bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of a base rate, or a
Eurodollar rate, at the option of the company, plus an applicable
percentage, as defined by the Agreement. The base rate is equal to
the greater of the Federal Funds rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%
or the prime rate in effect on such day. Borrowings under the
Agreement are not collateralized.
Note 8. The company determines its segments based upon the internal
organization that is used by management to make operating decisions
and assess performance. Based upon this approach, the company has
three reportable segments: Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice), Cranes
and Related Products (Cranes), and Marine Operations (Marine).
Information about reportable segments and a reconciliation of total
segment sales and profits to the consolidated totals for the quarters
and first six months ending June 30, 1999 and 1998 are summarized in
Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations", to this report on Form 10-Q. As of June
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the total assets by segment were as

EARNINGS BEFORE TAXES ON INCOME $ 33,315 $ 24,302 $ 53,038 $ 39,122
Net earnings for the second quarter of 1999 increased 36% to $21.0 million, or
$.80 per diluted share, from $15.4 million, or $.59 per diluted share, for the
second quarter of 1998. Net sales increased 20% to $226.3 million in the second
quarter of 1999, from $188.9 million for the same period in 1998. Sales and
earnings growth was driven by gains at each of the company's three business
segments.
For the first six month period of 1999, net earnings increased 35% to $33.4
million, or $1.27 per diluted share, from $24.7 million, or $.94 per diluted
share, for the first six months of 1998. Net sales increased 20% to $410.5
million in the first six-month period of 1999 from $343.0 million for the same
period in 1998. The recent acquisitions of USTC, MBS and Kyees accounted for
approximately 60% of the increase in revenue. The remainder was due mainly to
volume increases in the Foodservice and Crane segments. The increase in
operating earnings was the result of improved operating efficiencies, continued
margin expansion and additional cost reductions in each of our business
segments.
Sales for the Foodservice segment were $110.6 million for the quarter, up 27%
from the second quarter of 1998. Operating earnings increased 35% to $21.1
million, from $15.6 million in 1998. Manitowoc Ice continues to benefit from
the strong demand for its new "Q" series ice machines. SerVend's sales
increased significantly from the benefits of the recent acquisition of Manitowoc
Beverage Systems, which is expanding our geographic reach into new sales
territories. McCall achieved record production levels while introducing seven
new products at the National Restaurant Association show. For the first six
months of 1999 sales and operating earnings increased 26% and 32%, respectively.
All of the Foodservice operations contributed to this strong performance on a
year-over-year basis.
Cranes and related products sales for the second quarter increased 14%, to $98.1
million, from $86.1 million for the second quarter of 1998. Operating earnings
were $17.3 million, a 34% gain over the second quarter of 1998. This
performance is being driven by continued customer demand for our innovative new
crane designs. Highlighting this quarter was the shipment of our first Model
21000, a 1,000-ton capacity crawler crane, which was introduced at Conexpo
earlier this year. For the first six months of 1999, Cranes sales were $187.6
million, a 16% increase over the first six months of 1998. Operating earnings
increased 35%, to $30.6 million, from $22.7 million for the same period in 1998.
A significant factor in the performance of the crane segment is the progress
made in reducing the manufacturing time for the high-capacity crawler cranes.
Workflow improvements and aggressive subcontracting have added manufacturing
capacity and reduced the time needed to produce Manitowoc's 175- to 300-ton
capacity cranes by 40 percent.
Marine segment sales and operating earnings for the second quarter were $17.6
million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared with $15.5 million and $2.8
million for the same period in 1998. In May, work was completed on the NEW YORK
dipper dredge. Other projects during the quarter included repair work on
several tugs, a passenger ferry, and a hull repair for a 767' self-unloading
bulk carrier that ran aground. In June, Bay Shipbuilding began recognizing
revenues and earnings from the Mobil tank barge contract, which will keep the
yards busy during the traditionally slower summer months. For the first six
months of 1999, sales and operating earnings for this segment were $28.1 million
and $5.2 million, respectively, compared with $26.5 million and $5.1 million for
1998.
Cash flow from operations was a record $61 million, a more than four-fold
increase over the first six months of last year. Strong earnings, combined with
dramatic reductions in working capital, contributed to this performance. During
the quarter, total debt was also reduced by $27 million, down to $149 million.
The effective tax rate remains unchanged at 37 percent.

- ----------------------------------------
The Company's financial condition remains strong. Cash and marketable
securities of $13.3 million and future cash flows from operations are expected
to be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity requirements for the foreseeable
future, including payments for long-term debt, line of credit, and anticipated
capital expenditures of between $15-$18 million.
This report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements based on
management's current expectations. Reference is made in particular to the
description of the company's plans and objectives for future operations,
assumptions underlying such plans and objectives and other forward-looking
statements in this report. Such forward-looking statements generally are
identifiable by words such as "believes," "intends," "estimates," "expects" and
similar expressions.
These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and must be
qualified by factors that could cause results to be materially different from
what is presented here. This includes the following factors for each business:
Foodservice Equipment - demographic changes affecting the number of women in
the workforce, general population growth, and household income; serving large
restaurant chains as they expand their global operations; specialty foodservice
market growth; and the demand for equipment for small kiosk-type locations.
Cranes and Related Products - market acceptance of innovative products;
cyclicality in the construction industry; growth in the world market for heavy
cranes; demand for used equipment in developing countries. Marine - shipping
volume fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; five-year
drydocking schedule; reducing seasonality through non-marine repair work.
Year 2000 Compliance
- ----------------------------
The Year 2000 (or Y2K) issue is the result of computer systems and software
products that are coded to accept two digits rather than four in their date code
fields to define a year. A company's computer equipment and software devices
with embedded technology that are time-sensitive may recognize a date using "00"
as the year 1900 rather than 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in other
normal business activities.
The company continues to undertake various initiatives intended to ensure its
computer equipment and software will function properly with respect to Y2K and
beyond. For this purpose, the term "computer equipment and software" includes
systems commonly thought of as Information Technology (IT) systems - including
accounting, data processing and telephone systems - as well as those that are
not commonly thought of as IT systems - such as manufacturing equipment, company
products, alarm systems, fax machines or other miscellaneous systems. Both IT
and non-IT systems may contain embedded technology, which complicates Y2K
identification, assessment, remediation, and testing efforts.
Based upon its identification and assessment efforts through the end of the
second quarter of 1999, the company is in the process of converting, modifying,
and upgrading its computer equipment and software to be Y2K compliant, as
necessary. In addition, in the ordinary course of replacing computer equipment
and software, the company attempts to get replacements that are Y2K compliant.
The company continues to anticipate that its Y2K identification, assessment,
remediation, and testing efforts, which began in 1996, will be complete by
October 1999, and contingency plans will be developed, as necessary, to address
unforseen circumstances prior to the end of 1999. The company believes that
these efforts will be completed prior to any currently anticipated impact on its
computer equipment and software. It also does not anticipate any significant
disruption to its normal business operations to achieve this goal. The company
estimates that as of June 30, 1999, it had completed approximately 95% of the
initiatives it believes will be necessary to fully address potential Y2K issues.
The company has made inquiries and gathered information on the Y2K compliance of
its significant vendors, suppliers, dealers and distributors. This was done in
an attempt to determine the extent to which interfaces with these companies are
vulnerable to Y2K issues, and whether the products and services purchased from
or by these companies are Y2K compliant. During the first quarter of 1999, the
company completed a follow-up mailing to significant vendors, suppliers, dealers
and distributors for newly acquired companies and for those that did not
initially respond, or whose responses were deemed unsatisfactory by the company.
Although the company cannot assure Y2K compliance by its key suppliers, dealers,
and distributors, no major part of critical operation of any company segment
relies on a single source for raw materials, supplies, or services, and the
company has multiple distribution channels for most of its products.
Beginning in the second half of 1997, through June 30, 1999, the company has
spent approximately $4.4 million to upgrade its systems, including Y2K issues.
Approximately $0.5 million was spent during the first six months of 1999, with
about $0.3 million was spent in the second quarter. Estimated additional costs
for system upgrades during the last two quarters of 1999, including addressing
Y2K concerns, will approximate $0.5 million. These expenditures were and will
be funded using cash flows from operations.
The costs of the company's Y2K conversion efforts and dates by which it believes
these efforts will be completed are based on management's best estimates. These
were developed using many assumptions regarding future events, including
continued availability of certain resources, third-party remediation plans, and
other factors. There can be no assurance that these estimates will prove to be
accurate, and actual results could differ materially from those currently
anticipated.
The company believes that the Y2K issue will not pose significant operational
problems for it. However, if all Y2K issues are not properly identified, or
assessment, remediation, or testing are not completed for Y2K problems that are
identified, there can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a
material adverse affect on the company's relationships with customers, vendors,
distributors, and others. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Y2K
issues of other entities will not have a material adverse impact on the
company's systems or results of operations.
