NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Description of Reporting Entity: Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Group, hereinafter referred to as the Company or Blaw-Knox, includes the operations of Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Corporation, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of White Consolidated Industries, Inc. (WCI) located in Mattoon, Illinois and Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Limited, an indirect wholly-owned United States (U.S.) branch operation of WCI, located in Rochester, United Kingdom. WCI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Electrolux A.B. of Sweden (Electrolux) as a result of the stock acquisition of WCI by Electrolux in March 1986. The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and sale of asphalt paving equipment. On May 13, 1994, Clark Equipment Company completed the acquisition of the common stock of Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Corporation, Inc. and certain assets and liabilities of Blaw-Knox Construction Equipment Limited. The combined purchase price was approximately $144 million, subject to an adjustment based upon the ending net equity of the acquired operations as of the closing date. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Basis of Combination - The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. All allocable costs of the business have been reflected in the combined financial statements of the Company. Quarterly Financial Data - The accompanying combined financial data as of March 31, 1994 and for the three months ended March 31, 1993 and March 31, 1994, are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, this data reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1993 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year period. Accounting principles followed in preparing the financial statements are as follows: Currency Translation - The financial statements of operations outside of the United States are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation" (FAS No. 52). Foreign currency impacts included in "other expense (income), net" within the Statement of Operations are negligible. Revenue Recognition - The Company's policy is to recognize revenue at the time of shipment. - 8 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Cash and Cash Flows - The Company's cash balances are maintained at minimal levels in connection with WCI's consolidated treasury management. Cash flows from operating activities were reduced by cash paid for interest of $644,000 in 1993. Blaw-Knox's operations are included in the consolidated U.S. tax return of WCI and taxes payable are recorded as a component of the Parent company investment account. Furthermore, as a result of recent operating losses in the U.K., no income taxes have been paid relative to the U.K. operations. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company estimates the fair value of all financial instruments where the face value differs from the fair value based upon quoted amounts or the use of current rates available for similar financial instruments. As of December 31, 1993, the fair value of all financial instruments approximated the book values reflected within the financial statements. Inventories - Domestic inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Inventories owned by the U.K. branch are valued on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory valued on LIFO approximated 76% and 75% of total inventories at December 31, 1993 and March 31, 1994, respectively. Inventory balances consist of the following: Amounts in thousands December 31, March 31, 1993 1994 (unaudited) Raw materials $ 4,318 $ 4,180 Work in process and finished goods 22,444 23,744 Valuation allowances (1,265) (1,200) Inventories at current 25,497 26,724 Excess of current cost over LIFO cost (3,791) (3,791) Total inventories $ 21,706 $ 22,933 Properties - Properties are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Properties are generally depreciated using the straight-line method of depreciation. Depreciable lives for major property captions range as follows: Land improvements 10-40 years Machinery and equipment 3-20 years Buildings and improvements 10-40 years In conjunction with the March 1986 acquisition of WCI by Electrolux, the Company's properties at that date were adjusted to their fair values in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" (APB No.16). The resulting increase in properties, as determined by WCI management, has been pushed down to the Company and is reflected in these financial statements. - 9 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Properties at December 31, 1993 consist of the following: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Land $ 1,421 Land improvements 3,286 Buildings 6,051 Machinery and equipment 21,048 Total 31,806 Accumulated depreciation (20,491) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 11,315 Goodwill - The goodwill reflected by the Company for all periods presented represents a push-down of a portion of the total goodwill related to the stock acquisition of WCI and its subsidiaries by Electrolux in March 1986. The goodwill pushed down to the Company, all of which was assigned to the U.S. operations, had an original value of $132.4 million. This allocation was determined by WCI management based upon the estimated fair value of the Company at the time of the acquisition, reduced by the net fair value of the other identifiable acquired assets and liabilities of the Company. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years. Goodwill at December 31, 1993, is net of accumulated amortization of $25.6 million. Costs and Expenses - Provisions are made currently for the estimated future costs that will be incurred under product warranties presently in force. For years prior to 1993, the cost of health care and life insurance postretirement benefit costs were charged against income in the year benefits were provided. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions." This Statement was adopted on an immediate recognition basis giving full effect to the net of tax Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) of $2.8 million at the time of adoption. The impact of this adoption has been reflected in the 1993 financial statements as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Upon adoption of this Statement, the costs of providing such benefits are accrued as earned. Annual expense represents a combination of the service and interest cost provisions of the annual accrual, the amortization of actuarial gains and losses and prior service cost, along with the actual benefits provided for active employees. The Company is self-insured with respect to health care and life insurance benefits, subject to a formula driven aggregate stop loss limitation which approximated $4 million in 1993. Income Taxes - The operations of the Company are included in the consolidated U.S. tax return of WCI. U.S. income taxes are determined on a separate entity basis and taxes payable are recorded as a component of the Parent company investment account. The U.K. operations are also taxed in the U.K., however, from a U.S. tax perspective credits are allowed for any income taxes paid in the U.K.. - 10 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company accounts for income taxes under FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires use of the liability method to account for deferred income taxes. Under FAS No. 109, deferred taxes are provided on the temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. New Pronouncements - In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". This pronouncement established accounting and reporting for the estimated cost of benefits provided by an employer to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. Generally, the Company has accounted for such benefits on an accrual basis. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of FAS No. 112 in the first quarter of 1994. The impact of adoption did not materially effect the Company's financial position or results of operations. 3. Accrued Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at December 31, 1993, include the following: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Trade payables $ 4,444 Accrued compensation 1,583 Product warranty accruals 1,002 Self-insurance accruals 912 Other 858 Total $ 8,799 4.

In periods of future profitability, foreign taxes will also be assessed in the U.K., subject to available operating loss carryforwards, with offsetting credits available in the U.S. to the degree foreign taxes are paid. - 12 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A summary of the temporary differences comprising deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 1993 is as follows: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets $ 891 Inventories 274 Other 299 Gross deferred tax liabilities 1,464 Deferred tax assets: Postretirement benefits (1,692) Pensions (901) Other employee benefit accruals (329) Self-insurance accruals (373) Product warranty accruals (411) Other accruals (667) Gross deferred tax assets (4,373) Net deferred tax assets $ (2,909) A reconciliation of the net effective tax rate to the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 1993 is as follows: 1993 U.S. Federal statutory tax rate 34.0% Increase in rate resulting from: Non-deductible goodwill amortization 10.5 State taxes 6.1 Other-net 0.1 Net effective tax rate 50.7% 6. Debt Obligations: As a normal part of its business, the U.K. operation routinely enters into note and other financing arrangements with U.K. banks to satisfy working capital and operating needs. The outstanding borrowings reflected at December 31, 1993 relate to a bank overdraft facility with Barclays Bank plc (Barclays) under which the U.K. may borrow up to ten million Pounds (approximately $14.8 million at the December 31, 1993 exchange rate). The borrowings are fully guaranteed by Electrolux and are subject to interest at a rate of 2% over Barclays borrowing rate ("base rate"). This favorable rate is influenced by the guarantee of Electrolux. - 13 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 7. Pension Benefits: In the U.S., the Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering all employees who are covered under the Basic Union Agreement between the Company and the United Auto Workers of America Union, Local 916 (Hourly Plan). The Hourly Plan provides monthly benefits to retirees based upon a flat rate and years of service provisions. Normal retirement is age 65, with early retirement options available beginning at age 60 with ten years of credited service. The components of U.S. pension expense for the Hourly Plan, in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 87, are as follows for the year ended December 31, 1993: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Service cost $ 151 Interest cost 531 Actual return on plan assets (665) Net amortization and deferrals 289 Net periodic pension expense $ 306 The following table reconciles the funded status of the Company's Hourly Plan to the liabilities recognized for such plan, along with the Company's U.K. pension plan, as reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, 1993: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Accumulated vested benefit obligation, including non-vested benefit obligations of $411,000 $ 7,222 Projected benefit obligation 7,222 Plan assets at fair value (5,482) Unrecognized prior service cost (437) Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed (1,076) Adjustment to recognize minimum liability 1,513 Accrued pension liability - U.S. 1,740 Accrued pension liability - U.K. 895 Total $ 2,635 The discount rate used to determine the projected benefit obligation of the Hourly Plan as of December 31, 1993 was 7.6%. The average expected rate of return on plan assets for the plan was 9.5%. - 14 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company's non-bargaining U.S. employees participate in a WCI sponsored non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (Salaried Plan). The Salaried Plan provides retirees with monthly benefits determined based upon years of credited service and final average compensation. Normal retirement is age 65, with various early retirement options available. For purposes of these financial statements, the Salaried Plan is being accounted for as a multi-employer plan consistent with the guidance in FAS No. 87. Annual pension expense incurred by the Company relative to this plan for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $244,000. The non-bargaining U.S. employees also participate in a WCI sponsored defined contribution 401(k) plan. Expense related to this plan was $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company's U.K. employees are covered by a contributory defined benefit pension plan. Annual pension expense related to the plan approximated $211,000 for the year ended December 31, 1993. This plan is not required to report to governmental agencies pursuant to ERISA, and does not otherwise determine the actuarial value of accumulated benefits or net assets available for benefits. 8. Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired hourly employees covered under the Basic Union Agreement between the Company and the United Auto Workers of America Union, Local 916 (Hourly Plan). The coverage is provided on a non-contributory basis for retirees age 65 and older, with Company contributions subject to an annual cap for employees retiring prior to 1993. The annual cap is not applicable to employees who retired in 1993. Prior to January 1, 1993, the postretirement benefit costs of this plan were charged to expense in the year benefits were provided. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for such benefits and adopted the provisions of FAS No. 106. In adopting this Statement, the Company recorded the entire amount of the APBO of $3.7 million as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The APBO represents the present value of estimated future benefits payable to current and future retirees of the Company under the plan. A deferred tax asset was recognized with respect to the APBO in the amount of $1.5 million at the time of adoption reducing the cumulative effect of the accounting change for the Hourly Plan to $2.2 million. The Company does not fund its postretirement benefit plan. The following table presents a reconciliation of the APBO to the liability for such costs recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, for the Hourly Plan: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees $ 2,508 Fully eligible participants 710 Other active participants 1,039 Total APBO 4,257 Unrecognized net loss (129) Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 4,128 - 15 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In measuring the projected APBO as of December 31, 1993, medical inflation trend rates were assumed to be initially 9.5%, trending downward to 5.5% by 2002. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation was 7.6%. If the health care cost trend were to be increased by 1%, the APBO would increase by approximately $410,000 and the annual postretirement benefit expense would increase by approximately $68,000. Net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the year ended December 31, 1993, was comprised of the following components: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Service cost $ 166 Interest cost on APBO 309 Net periodic postretirement benefit expense $ 475 The Company's non-bargaining U.S. employees participate in a WCI sponsored postretirement benefit plan (Salaried Plan). Coverage for salaried retirees is provided on a contributory basis with the Company picking up all amounts in excess of the contributions for retirees prior to April 1987. For retirees after April 1987, Company contributions are limited to a percentage of the total cost of the plan and/or annual caps, with retirees being fully responsible for any additional costs of coverage. The accounting for this WCI sponsored plan is similar to that of the Hourly Plan above in that prior to 1993 the costs associated with the Salaried Plan were accounted for in the year in which benefits were provided. The provisions of FAS No. 106 were adopted effective January 1, 1993. For purposes of these financial statements, the Salaried Plan is being accounted for as a multi-employer plan consistent with the guidance in FAS No. 106. In adopting this Statement effective January 1, 1993, the Company recorded the entire amount of the APBO of $914,000, net of a deferred tax benefit of $366,000, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Annual postretirement benefit expense incurred by the Company relative to this plan for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $185,000. 9. Business Segment Information: The Company operates in one industry segment. It's business is the design, manufacture and sale of asphalt paving equipment. - 16 - BLAW-KNOX CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GROUP (a business unit of White Consolidated Industries, Inc.) NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS From a geographic perspective, all products are sourced from either the U.S. or U.K.. A breakdown of the Company's sales, operating income and identifiable assets by geographic segment is as follows: Amounts in thousands December 31, 1993 Sales: U.S. $ 74,372 U.K. 15,089 Eliminations (1,467) Total net sales $ 87,994 Operating income (loss): U.S. $ 13,752 U.K. (2,168) Total operating income $ 11,584 Identifiable assets: U.S. $152,629 U.K. 12,323 Eliminations (192) Total identifiable assets $164,760 There was no single dealer or customer from which at least 10% of total revenue was derived during 1993. Export sales of U.S. manufactured products and parts sold to customers and dealers located outside the U.S. were $7.9 million in 1993. Sales to the U.S. government were insignificant in 1993. 10. Concentration of Credit Risk: Substantially all of the Company's sales and receivables are to Company authorized dealers throughout the world. To help the Company ensure it collects on its accounts receivable, the Company perfects a security interest in and generally finances all machinery sold to its dealers. Dealers are required to remit payment within 30 days of selling the equipment to the retail customer, regardless of whether the invoice is due under the original terms of sale. Additionally, for sales of equipment to dealers and customers outside the U.S. and U.K., letters of credit are generally obtained. 11.

Contingencies: The Company is self-insured with respect to workers' compensation claims, subject to a per occurrence stop loss limit of $500,000 for all policy years except 1988 in which the limitation was $1 million per occurrence. As of December 31, 1993, there were 83 outstanding workers' compensation claims with recorded accruals of $289,000. It is the Company's policy to estimate and accrue losses for known and incurred but not reported workers' compensation claims. The Company has been named as a defendant in various product liability claims. At December 31, 1993, there was one such claim outstanding for which the Company had recorded an accrual of $185,000. This accrual relates only to accidents occurring prior to April 1, 1987. The Company was self- insured during this period, subject to per occurrence and aggregate stop loss limitations. For periods subsequent to April 1, 1987, the Company is fully insured through a captive insurance subsidiary of WCI under which the Company incurred insurance premiums of $344,000 in 1993. The Company is also subject to various legal proceedings in the normal conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, adequate provision for such matters has been made through either insurance coverage or accruals, or the ultimate costs will not materially affect the combined financial position and results of operations of the Company. - 18 - CLARK EQUIPMENT COMPANY PRO-FORMA BALANCE SHEET MARCH 31, 1994 (In Millions) Blaw-Knox Clark as Assets Acquired Reported and Liabilities Pro-forma Adjustments Current Assets: (A) Assumed Debit Credit Adjusted Cash and equivalents $342.7 $ - $ - $144.3 (1) $198.4 Accounts and notes receivable 86.4 29.6 - - 116.0 Inventories 80.2 22.9 3.8 (5) - 106.9 Investment in discontinued operations 6.5 - - - 6.5 Deferred tax assets - net 27.9 1.2 0.4 (8) 0.6 (2) 28.9 Other current assets 4.7 0.7 - 0.1 (2) 5.3 Total Current Assets 548.4 54.4 4.2 145.0 462.0 Investment and advances - associated companies 135.2 - 144.3 (1) 144.3 (4) 135.2 Deferred tax assets - net 101.0 2.0 1.2 (8) - 104.2 Property, plant and equipment - net 161.9 11.1 2.5 (6) 0.1 (2) 175.4 Assets held for sale 8.7 - - - 8.7 Goodwill 68.8 105.9 92.9 (4) 105.9 (3) 160.8 - - 4.8 (7) 3.8 (5) - - 0.6 (8) 2.5 (6) Other assets 41.8 1.1 - - 42.9 Total Assets $1,065.8 $174.5 $250.5 $401.6 $1,089.2 Current Liabilities: Notes payable $27.7 $10.1 $10.1 (2) $ - 27.7 Accounts payable and accruals 134.7 10.2 1.4 (2) 1.8 (7) 145.3 Other current liabilities 31.8 - - 1.5 (8) 33.3 Current portion of long-term debt 9.8 - - - 9.8 Total Current Liabilities 204.0 20.3 11.5 3.3 216.1 Long-term borrowings 204.6 - - - 204.6 Other non-current liabilities 92.9 3.5 - 3.0 (7) 100.1 0.7 (8) Accrued postretirement benefits 234.7 4.1 - - 238.8 Total Liabilities 736.2 27.9 11.5 7.0 759.6 Stockholder's Equity: Capital stock 323.7 146.6 105.9 (3) 10.7 (2) 323.7 51.4 (4) Retained earnings 151.2 151.2 Cumulative translation account (64.5) (64.5) Treasury stock (49.5) (49.5) LESOP shares (31.3) (31.3) Total Stockholder's Equity 329.6 146.6 157.3 10.7 329.6 Total Liabilities and Equity $1,065.8 $174.5 $168.8 $17.7 $1,089.2 <FN> (A) Clark's balance sheet "as reported" reflects the pro-forma adjustments resulting from the sale of Clark Automotive Products Corporation which was completed on May 13, 1994.
