NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Tabular Amounts in Millions)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
NACCO Industries, Inc. ("NACCO") is a holding company with four operating
subsidiaries that function in three principal business segments: lift trucks,
housewares and lignite mining. NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. ("NMHG")
designs, engineers and manufactures a full line of lift trucks and replacement
parts marketed worldwide under the Hyster(R) and Yale(R) brand names. NACCO
Housewares Group ("Housewares") consists of Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.
("HB/PS"), a leading manufacturer and marketer of small electric motor and
heat-driven appliances as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and
hotels, and The Kitchen Collection, Inc. ("KCI"), a national specialty retailer
of brand-name kitchenware, small electric appliances and related accessories.
The North American Coal Corporation ("NACoal") mines and markets lignite
primarily as fuel for power generation by electric utilities.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of NACCO and its majority owned subsidiaries ("NACCO Industries,
Inc. and Subsidiaries," or the "Company"). Intercompany accounts have been
eliminated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 1999 and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of
the year ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998.
Note 2 - Earnings per Share
Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
128, "Earnings per Share." For purposes of calculating the basic and diluted
earnings per share, no adjustments have been made to the reported amounts of net
income. The share amounts used are as follows:
Three Months Ended

Retail inventories - Housewares 18.0 17.2
-------- --------
$ 360.2 $ 356.2
======== ========
The cost of manufacturing inventories has been determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method for 72 percent of such inventories as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998.
Note 4 - Restructuring Charge
In 1998, HB/PS recorded a pre-tax charge of $3.2 million to recognize severance
payments to be made to approximately 450 manufacturing employees in connection
with transitioning activities to HB/PS' Mexican facilities. During the first
quarter of 1999, an additional $1.0 million pre-tax charge was made for
severance payments to be made to an additional 130 manufacturing employees in
connection with transitioning additional manufacturing activities to HB/PS'
Mexican facilities. Payments of $0.5 million have been made to approximately 200
employees during the first quarter of 1999. These payments reduced the reserve
for restructuring to $3.7 million as of March 31, 1999.
Note 5 - New Accounting Standards
As of January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants' ("AICPA") Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use," and
SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities." SOP 98-1 requires
capitalization on a prospective basis of certain development costs of software
to be used internally. The Company does not expect the change to this new
accounting standard to have a material impact on its financial position or
results of operations in the foreseeable future.
SOP 98-5 requires start-up and organization costs to be expensed as incurred and
also requires previously deferred start-up costs to be recognized as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the statement of income upon adoption. Prior to
January 1, 1999, the Company's NACoal subsidiary had deferred certain start-up
costs related to the development of lignite mining activities and amortized
these costs over the estimated useful life of the related coal lands. Under the
new accounting standard, these costs, which are primarily training, travel and
administrative expenses, are no longer allowed to be deferred, but, rather, they
must be expensed as incurred. As such, the Company has recognized the effect of
expensing these previously deferred start-up costs of $1.2 million, net-of-tax,
as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the accompanying Statement of
Income for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Note 6 - Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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 companies to recognize all derivatives on
the balance sheet as assets and liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or
losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
for hedge accounting. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999. The Company will adopt this Statement on January 1, 2000
and is in the process of determining the effect that adoption will have on its
financial statements.

1999 $ 438.5 $ 24.8 $ 12.1
======== ========= =======
At NMHG, revenues increased as a result of retail sales made by recently
acquired dealerships, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from wholesale
operations. Revenue, operating profit and net income from wholesale operations
declined primarily due to decreased demand for higher priced lift trucks and a
decrease in price due to increased competition. Also contributing to the decline
in operating profit and net income was a loss from retail sales due to start-up
and acquisition costs at recently acquired retail dealerships. Excluding the
effect of retail activity, worldwide volume decreased 2 percent to 19,319 units
shipped during the first quarter of 1999 from 19,757 units shipped during the
first quarter of 1998. Overall, unit sales volume, including retail sales,
remained relatively flat at 19,748 units sold in 1999 compared with 19,757 units
sold in 1998. Retail sales from recently acquired dealerships and increased
wholesale unit volume in Asia-Pacific and China were offset by decreased
wholesale demand in the Americas and Europe.
Lower pricing significantly reduced operating profit and net income due to price
pressure in the Americas market. In addition, operating results declined due to
a shift in sales mix to lower margin parts and units, especially in Europe.
Manufacturing costs and other operating costs decreased in the first quarter of
1999, compared with the same period a year ago. Reduced materials pricing,
warranty costs and variable compensation costs offset manufacturing
inefficiencies caused by reduced volume and certain capacity restraints.
Backlog levels indicate a declining trend in volume, as production remains
steady, but the rate of incoming orders declines. The backlog fell to 18,100
units at March 31, 1999 as compared with 19,500 units at December 31, 1998 and
22,700 units at the end of the first quarter of 1998. This decline is consistent
with the Company's expectation that the worldwide demand for lift trucks in 1999
will fall moderately below 1998's record levels.
NACCO MATERIALS HANDLING GROUP, INC. - continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
During 1998, NMHG began a strategy of acquiring Hyster and Yale retail
dealerships on a permanent basis to strengthen its position in the lift truck
business. This newly adopted strategy resulted in the acquisition and
consolidation of several lift truck dealerships in 1998 and in the first quarter
of 1999. Retail dealerships, both those acquired in 1998 and during the first
quarter of 1999, increased NMHG's revenue by $21.5 million, decreased operating
profit by $3.1 million and decreased net income by $2.8 million, net of
intercompany transactions. NMHG expects that it may be necessary to acquire
additional retail dealerships over the next several years to strengthen its
distribution network. The acquisition of retail dealerships during the first
quarter of 1999 was not material to the financial position or operating results
of the Company.
Other Income and Expense and Income Taxes
The components of other income (expense) and the effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31 are as
follows:
1999 1998
----------- -----------
Interest expense $ (4.3) $ (3.4)
Other-net (.2) (.9)
----------- -----------
$ (4.5) $ (4.3)
=========== ===========
Effective tax rate 41.4% 39.7%
Interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 increased as
compared with the same period last year primarily due to increased debt levels
necessary to finance acquisitions of retail dealerships and an intercompany loan
to NACCO.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1999
compared with the same period in 1998 is due to the effect of a higher level of
nondeductible expenses, including goodwill amortization, on a lower comparable
level of pre-tax income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $15.8 million during the
first three months of 1999. These capital expenditures include investments in
tooling for new products, machinery and equipment and investments in existing
retail dealerships, including $4.8 million for lease and rental fleet. It is
estimated that NMHG's capital expenditures for the remainder of 1999 will be
approximately $50.7 million. These planned expenditures relate primarily to
additional investments in the newly constructed China facility, and machinery
and equipment for other existing facilities. During the remainder of 1999, NMHG
anticipates continuing investments in business acquisitions in amounts which may
exceed the first quarter acquisition investment of $35.4 million. The principal
sources of financing for these capital expenditures are internally generated
funds and bank borrowings.
NMHG has a $350.0 million revolving credit facility that expires June 2002, but
may be extended annually, for one-year periods, upon the mutual consent of NMHG
and the bank group. In addition, the NMHG facility has performance-based pricing
which sets interest rates based upon the achievement of certain financial
performance targets. At March 31, 1999, NMHG had available $101.6 million of its
$350.0 million revolving credit facility. NMHG also has separate facilities
totaling $31.8 million, of which $27.8 million was available at March 31, 1999
and maintains additional uncommitted lines of credit, of which $51.5 million was
available at March 31, 1999. NMHG believes that funds available under its credit
facilities and operating cash flows are sufficient to finance all of its
operating needs and commitments arising during the foreseeable future.

------------ -----------
Stockholders' equity $ 466.8 $ 462.0
============ ===========
Debt to total capitalization 34% 30%
The increase in net tangible assets of $43.5 million is primarily due to
acquisitions of retail dealerships, which increased net tangible assets by
approximately $30.0 million. The remaining $13.5 million increase in net
tangible assets is primarily due to an increase in cash on hand due to improved
timing of cash received from the sale of receivables in Europe.
Goodwill and debt have increased due to acquisitions of retail dealerships
during the first quarter of 1999.
NACCO HOUSEWARES GROUP

Because the housewares business is seasonal, a majority of revenues and
operating profit occurs in the second half of the year when sales of small
electric appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the

NACCO HOUSEWARES GROUP - continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
Housewares' revenues improved in the first quarter of 1999 due primarily to unit
volume growth at HBPS, especially for coffeemakers, irons, blenders, toasters
and indoor grills. Net loss decreased during the first quarter due to unit
volume growth and a more profitable sales mix, compared with the first quarter
of 1998. This decline in net loss was partially offset by: (i) costs associated
with moving additional manufacturing assembly operations to HBPS plants in
Mexico, including a $1.0 million pre-tax charge for severance, (ii) unabsorbed
fixed overhead costs at some U.S. manufacturing facilities, (iii) lower sales
prices due primarily to competition from Chinese imports and (iv) costs
associated with consolidating warehouse operations into a new facility in
Memphis, Tennessee. KCI's revenues increased and net loss decreased as a result
of increases in the size of an average sale transaction and the total number of
customer transactions. KCI operated 143 stores at March 31, 1999, compared with
142 stores at the end of the first quarter of 1998.
Other Income and Expense and Income Taxes
The components of other income (expense) and the effective tax rate are as
follows for the three months ended March 31:
1999 1998
------- -------
Interest expense $ (1.4) $ (1.3)
Other-net -- (.4)
------- -------
$ (1.4) $ (1.7)
======= =======
Effective tax rate 42.9% 46.7%
The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the effect of a
constant level of nondeductible goodwill amortization on a higher comparable
level of pre-tax income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Housewares' expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $2.2 million
during the first three months of 1999 and are estimated to be $20.9 million for
the remainder of 1999. The primary purpose of these capital expenditures is to
purchase equipment intended to reduce manufacturing costs and increase
efficiency and to purchase tooling for new and existing products. These
expenditures are funded primarily from internally generated funds and short-term
borrowings.
HB/PS' credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility ("HB/PS
Facility") that: (i) permits advances up to $160.0 million, (ii) is secured by
substantially all of HB/PS' assets, (iii) provides lower interest rates if HB/PS
achieves certain interest coverage ratios and (iv) allows for interest rates
quoted under a competitive bid option. The HB/PS Facility expires in May 2003.
At March 31, 1999, HB/PS had $78.1 million available under this facility. In
addition, HB/PS has separate uncommitted facilities that permitted $8.7 million
of additional borrowings at March 31, 1999.
In 1998, the HB/PS Facility was amended to allow advances of up to $10.0 million
from HB/PS to KCI. Subsequent to this amendment, KCI's cash requirements have
been financed through advances from HB/PS. Accordingly, in 1998, KCI terminated
its external revolving credit facility. Housewares believes that funds available
under its credit facilities and operating cash flows are sufficient to finance
all of its operating needs and commitments arising during the foreseeable
future.

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION
- ------------------------------------
NACoal mines and markets lignite for use primarily as fuel for power generation
by electric utilities. The lignite is surface mined in North Dakota, Texas and
Louisiana. Total coal reserves approximate 2.0 billion tons, with 1.2 billion
tons committed to electric utility customers pursuant to long-term contracts.
NACoal operates five lignite mines, including three project mining subsidiaries
("Coteau," "Falkirk" and "Sabine"), a NACoal division ("San Miguel") and a joint
venture ("Red River"). NACoal also provides dragline mining services ("Florida
dragline operations") for a limerock quarry near Miami, Florida. The operating
results for the Florida dragline operations, San Miguel and Red River are
included in Other mining operations.
During 1997, the Mississippi Lignite Mining Company was formed as a joint
venture between NACoal and Phillips Coal Company. The new company, in which
NACoal has a 25 percent interest, will develop the Red Hills lignite mine near
Ackerman, Mississippi. Development of the mine site has begun and will continue
through 1999, with initial production scheduled for the second half of 2000.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
NACoal's three project mining subsidiaries (Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine), which
represent a significant portion of NACoal's operations, mine lignite for utility
customers pursuant to long-term contracts at a price based on actual cost plus
an agreed pretax profit per ton. Due to the cost-plus nature of these contracts,
revenues and operating profits are affected by increases and decreases in
operating costs, as well as by tons sold. Net income of these project mines,
however, is not significantly affected by changes in such operating costs, which
include costs of operations, interest expense and certain other items. Because
of the nature of the contracts at these mines, operating results are best
analyzed in terms of lignite tons sold, income before taxes and net income.
Lignite tons sold by NACoal's operating lignite mines were as follows for the
three months ended March 31:
1999 1998
---- ----
Coteau Properties 4.3 4.2
Falkirk Mining 1.8 2.0
Sabine Mining .5 .5
San Miguel .8 .8
Red River Mining .1 .2

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION - continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
Net income declined primarily due to a one-time cumulative effect charge for a
change in accounting for start-up costs and reduced royalties from
third-parties. Costs associated with the development of international mining
opportunities also contributed to the decline in net income. Although tonnage
volume and, thus, revenues were down slightly at the project mines, net income
was not significantly affected due to the cost-plus nature of the sales
contracts with those customers. Revenues, income before taxes and net income
from other mining operations, however, did decline primarily due to decreased
tonnage at Red River and increased operating costs at San Miguel. Operating
costs at San Miguel may continue to increase in 1999 as compared with the prior
year due to the expiration of certain third-party warranties covering routine
maintenance costs.
Other Income and Expense and Income Taxes
The components of other income (expense) and the effective tax rate for the
three months ended March 31 are as follows:
1999 1998
------- -------
Interest expense
Project mining subsidiaries $ (4.3) $ (3.1)

Project mining subsidiaries $ .1 $ .1
Other mining operations (.1) --

Effective tax rate 18.8% 28.6%
The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily results from additional
percentage depletion eligible to reduce NACoal's effective tax.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $4.1 million during the
first three months of 1999. It is estimated that NACoal's capital expenditures
for the remainder of 1999 will be $17.3 million, of which $16.6 million relates
to the development, establishment and improvement of the project mining
subsidiaries' mines and are financed or guaranteed by the utility customers.
Also during the first three months of 1999, NACoal invested $1.9 million in a
joint venture with Phillips Coal Company to develop a new lignite mine in
Mississippi. During the remainder of 1999, NACoal anticipates investing an
additional $15.8 million in this joint venture.
NACoal has in place a $50.0 million revolving credit facility. The expiration
date of this facility, which currently is September 2002, can be extended one
additional year, on an annual basis, upon the mutual consent of NACoal and the
bank group. NACoal had $38.3 million of its revolving credit facility available
at March 31, 1999.
The financing of the project mining subsidiaries, which is either provided or
guaranteed by the utility customers, includes long-term equipment leases, notes
payable and non-interest-bearing advances from customers. The obligations of the
project mining subsidiaries do not affect the short-term or long-term liquidity
of NACoal and are without recourse to NACCO or NACoal. These arrangements allow
the project mining subsidiaries to pay dividends to NACoal in amounts equal to
their earnings.

accounts payable. Borrowings increased to finance loans made to NACCO and
investments in the joint venture with Phillips Coal Company.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
NACCO and Other includes the parent company operations and Bellaire Corporation
("Bellaire"), a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO. While Bellaire's results are
immaterial, it has significant long-term liabilities related to closed mines,
primarily from former eastern U.S. underground coal-mining activities. Cash
payments related to Bellaire's obligations, net of internally generated cash,
are funded by NACCO and historically have not been material.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Although NACCO's subsidiaries have entered into substantial borrowing
agreements, NACCO has not guaranteed the long-term debt or any borrowings of its
subsidiaries.
The borrowing agreements at NMHG and Housewares allow for the payment to NACCO
of dividends and advances under certain circumstances. There are no restrictions
on the transfer of assets from NACoal. Dividends, advances and management fees
from its subsidiaries are the primary sources of cash for NACCO.

NACCO AND OTHER - continued
FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued
The Company believes it can adequately meet all of its current and long-term
commitments and operating needs. This outlook stems from amounts available under
revolving credit facilities and the utility customers' funding of the project
mining subsidiaries.
EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
NMHG and Housewares operate internationally and enter into transactions
denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company is subject to the
variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign
currency fluctuations on revenues, operating income and net income at NMHG are
disclosed above. At Housewares, foreign currency effects had an immaterial
impact on operating results between comparable periods of 1999 and 1998. See
Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Year 2000 ("Y2K") issues exist because many information technology ("IT") and
non-information technology ("non-IT") systems were designed to recognize years
by reference to only the last two digits of the year. As a result, these systems
assume the relevant year begins with "19." These systems could fail or produce
erroneous information if they are not modified to recognize dates beginning with
"20."
State of Readiness
Each of the Company's subsidiaries has developed a formal compliance plan to
address the Y2K issue. The audit committee of the Board of Directors is
periodically updated on the Company's progress in addressing the Y2K issue. In
addition, NMHG and HB/PS have retained the services of Y2K consultants to review
their respective compliance plans and identify areas where the plans may need
improvement. The subsidiaries' compliance plans encompass the evaluation of IT
systems and non-IT systems, as well as an assessment of third parties'
compliance and the extent to which third party representations can be relied
upon. Furthermore, the execution of the Company's compliance plans has been
prioritized in terms of significance to the Company's ability to generate
revenues, income and cash flows. The following discussion addresses IT and
non-IT systems that may have a material effect on the Company's ability to
generate revenues, income and cash flows. The compliance plans are categorized
into one of four phases: (i) awareness, (ii) assessment, (iii) renovation, and
(iv) validation and implementation (testing).
IT Systems The Company has completed its assessment of all of its IT systems and
the renovation of substantially all of its IT systems. NMHG plans to complete
renovation and testing of all IT systems by June 1999; HB/PS has completed
renovation and testing of all IT systems; and NACoal plans to complete
renovation and testing of all mission-critical IT systems by July 1999.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE - continued
Non-IT Systems The Company's Y2K compliance plan also addresses non-IT systems
with date-sensitive operating controls such as computer-controlled manufacturing
and mining equipment, heating, ventilating and cooling systems, fire alarms,
phone, voice mail, security and other similar systems. At NMHG, the assessment,
renovation and testing of non-IT systems is targeted to be completed by July
1999. All of HB/PS' computer-controlled manufacturing equipment and other non-IT
systems have been validated to be Y2K compliant, with the exception of certain
computer-controlled equipment in its Mexican plants which are targeted to be
compliant by July 1999. At NACoal, assessment and testing of critical
computer-controlled equipment and other non-IT systems are scheduled to be
completed by July 1999. Preliminary testing at NACoal has indicated that no
significant Y2K issues are expected in its mining equipment and other non-IT
systems.
Third Parties The Company has contacted substantially all of its third-party,
critical-component suppliers. At NMHG, supplier surveys have been returned and
evaluated, indicating that approximately 80 percent of NMHG's critical suppliers
are currently Y2K compliant or have a plan in place to be compliant by the end
of 1999. The remainder of NMHG's critical suppliers have not yet responded to
the survey. NMHG plans to build a safety stock in Europe to mitigate the risk
that suppliers will not be Y2K ready. At HB/PS, supplier surveys have been
returned and evaluated, indicating that approximately 75 percent of HB/PS'
critical suppliers are currently Y2K compliant or have a plan in place to be
compliant by the end of 1999. The remainder of HB/PS' critical suppliers have
not yet responded to the survey. HB/PS continues to pursue responses from those
suppliers. HB/PS plans to perform tests of Y2K compliance of critical suppliers
in July 1999. NACoal has surveyed its critical vendors, but only 50 percent have
responded. NACoal plans to pursue responses and create contingency plans to
mitigate any problems with critical vendors. Of those who have responded,
approximately 80 percent have indicated that they have a plan to be Y2K ready by
the end of 1999.
The Company has contacted its critical utility providers, financial institutions
and customers to assess their Y2K readiness. The majority of these third-party
partners have indicated that they are ready or have a plan in place to be Y2K
ready by December 31, 1999. The Company continues to monitor their progress and
remains in contact with critical partners, such as NACoal's power plant
customers. The Company will develop contingency plans as it becomes aware of the
potential for critical third-party partners' non-compliance.
Costs to Address Y2K Issues
The Company received and implemented computer software upgrades, under normal
maintenance agreements with third-party vendors, that enabled substantially all
of the Company's IT systems to be Y2K ready. As such, costs to address the Y2K
issue have not been, and are not expected to be, material to the Company.
Internal and external costs incurred to date have been approximately $5.0
million. The Company estimates an additional $2.0 million will be expended
during the remainder of 1999 relating to this issue. These costs have been and
are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE - continued
Contingency Plans
While some contingency plans have been formalized, other contingency plans
continue to be formulated. Such contingency plans, both those formalized and
those under discussion, include, if necessary, building a safety stock of
critical components prior to January 1, 2000, requiring certain suppliers to
maintain a safety stock or locating alternate suppliers that are Y2K ready. The
Company may incur additional interest expense during the fourth quarter of 1999
and the first quarter of 2000 to finance any safety stock deemed necessary. The
Company plans to replace, to the extent possible, those vendors who have not
responded to surveys or have indicated "no plan in place" by September 1999. The
Company plans to develop a risk assessment guide that will enable the Company to
identify customers who may have cash flow troubles due to non-compliance. The
Company may need to reduce the extension of credit, selling terms or amount of
shipments to those customers.
The Company's Y2K efforts are ongoing and its overall plan, as well as the
consideration of contingency plans, will continue to evolve as new information
becomes available. While the Company anticipates continuity of its business
activities, that continuity will be dependent upon its ability, and the ability
of third parties on which the Company relies, directly and indirectly, to be Y2K
ready.
Risks of the Company's Y2K Issues
Although the Company believes that it has a compliance plan that will mitigate
the risk that the Y2K issue will have a material adverse effect on the Company,
the ultimate impact of this issue on the Company is uncertain. Suppliers'
failure to deliver critical components, third-parties' failure to supply power
and/or telecommunication systems to manufacturing plants or mines, or the
Company's failure to complete, in a timely manner, the updating of
computer-controlled manufacturing equipment could result in delayed delivery of
products to customers, which could have a material adverse effect on earnings
and cash flow. In addition, customers' non-compliance could result in the loss
of customers or a customer's inability to purchase or pay for products, which
could have a material adverse effect on earnings and cash flow.
The Company has not yet fully implemented its Y2K compliance plan. Therefore,
there can be no assurance that the Y2K issue will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
See "Outlook" for additional risks and uncertainties associated with Y2K
compliance.
EURO CONVERSION
See the Company's 1998 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into
the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, for a
summary of the Euro Conversion. The Company does not anticipate that the
introduction and use of the Euro will materially affect the Company's foreign
exchange and hedging activities or the Company's use of derivative instruments,
or will have a material adverse effect on operating results or cash flows.
However, the ultimate effect of the Euro on competition due to price
transparency and foreign currency risk cannot yet be determined and may have an
adverse effect, possibly material, on the Company's operations, financial
position or cash flows. Conversely, introduction of the Euro may also have
positive effects, such as reduced foreign currency risk, lower costs due to
reduced hedging activity, and reduced prices of raw materials resulting from
increased competition among suppliers. The Company continues to monitor and
assess the potential risks imposed by the Euro.
OUTLOOK
NMHG: NMHG anticipates that 1999 lift truck industry bookings in the Americas
market will decline moderately from 1998 record levels. The European lift truck
market is also expected to decline from record demand in 1998, reflecting
softening economies in Europe, while demand in the Asia-Pacific market, which
represents less than 5 percent of sales, is expected to be flat or increase
slightly. As a result, NMHG anticipates continued competitive price and
margin pressure. NMHG also expects to continue incurring costs during 1999
related to the start-up of its retail operations. NMHG anticipates that its
sales mix will improve during the remainder of 1999, that manufacturing
efficiencies will improve, compared with the first quarter of 1999, and that
additional benefits will be realized from NMHG's cost reduction programs,
including its new Mexican plant in Saltillo.
Housewares: HB/PS expects to continue increasing production capacity during 1999
at its Mexican facilities by transferring additional assembly operations from
the U.S. As a result, manufacturing efficiencies are expected to increase over
the remainder of this year. HB/PS began shipping from its newly opened
distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee during the second quarter of 1999. The
center is expected to create distribution efficiencies in 1999.
NACoal: NACoal expects that customer demand for lignite for the remainder of
1999 will be consistent with 1998 levels, except at the Red River mining
operation in Louisiana, where a customer's unplanned power plant outage is
temporarily interrupting lignite deliveries to the plant. NACoal also
anticipates that royalty payments over the remainder of the year will be
comparable with the first quarter of 1999 and well below the levels in 1998.
NACoal expects to continue incurring expenses in 1999 for the development of
international mining opportunities and the Mississippi-based Red Hills mine, in
which it owns a 25 percent interest, which is scheduled to begin production in
the second half of 2000.
