Consequently, they do not include all the disclosures required under
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. However, in the opinion of the management of CLARK Material
Handling Company (the "Company"), the consolidated financial statements
presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries. For further information regarding the
Company's accounting policies and the basis of presentation of the
financial statements, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996.

4. On February 28, 1997, the Company purchased substantially all the
assets of HLT (Hydroelectric Lift Trucks) a supplier of upright
material handling equipment, for $5 million. Assets acquired included
$3.9 million of inventory and $1.1 million of equipment and tooling.
The purchase was financed through a short-term note maturing in the
second quarter of 1997. The Company is leasing the former company's
facility and is continuing production of the equipment, primarily for
its own use. The acquisition was not significant and pro forma data is
not presented because it is not material.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K as of
and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
General
The Company is a leading international designer, manufacturer and marketer of a
complete line of forklift trucks, which it markets through a global network of
285 dealers. The Company's large installed base, which management estimates to
be approximately 350,000 units in operation worldwide, provides for substantial
ongoing replacement part sales, which typically generate significantly higher
gross margins than new product sales.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the three months ended March 31,
1996:
Net Sales
Net sales were $110.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an
increase of $1.9 million or 1.7% from $108.8 million for the same period is
1996. Machines sales increased 3.6% while parts sales declined 4.3%. Machine
unit sales in North America increased 12.0% due to the stronger market while
European machine unit sales were off 11.0%.
North American parts sales were about the same as the prior year while parts
sales declined in Europe due to a combination of lower activity levels and
increased competition.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $1.2 million (10.5%) to $12.6 million in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $11.4 in the first quarter of 1996. Cost reduction
programs, mainly in material costs, favorable pricing offset by lower parts
margin, and favorable efficiencies due to higher production resulted in this
gross profit increase.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expense
Engineering, selling and administrative expense decreased $.1 million to $8.8
million for the first quarter of 1997 from $8.9 million (including parent
company management fees) during the same period of 1996. Increases in
engineering and selling expense were offset by decreases in administrative
expenses. Administrative expenses were approximately $1.2 million lower due to
net savings resulting from the purchase of the Company from it's previous owner.
Income from Operations
Income from operations increased $1.4 million to $3.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in
1996 due to the reasons discussed above.
-6-
Interest and Other Costs
Net interest and other expense of the Company was $3.6 million during the three
months ended March 31, 1997, while the Predecessor incurred net interest and
other expense of $5.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
Predecessor's parent charged the Predecessor more interest costs than the
Company presently incurs as an independent entity.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company reported net income of $.2 million during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 while the Predecessor recorded a loss of $2.5 million for the
same period in 1996. Higher operating profit and reduced interest and other
costs resulted in net income during the first quarter of 1997.
Backlog
The Company's backlog of orders at March 31, 1997, was $90.4 million, up 6.2%
from March 31, 1996, at $85.1 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 orders will be filled within that time period. The
cancellation or delay of certain orders could have a material adverse effect on
the Company.
Capital Resources, Liquidity and Financial Condition
The Company's financial condition and working capital did not change
significantly at March 31, 1997 from December 31, 1996. Declines in the value of
the German Deutsche-mark reduced the assets and liabilities of the Company's
German operations; these declines were offset by increases domestically. The
fluctuation in the German currency resulted in a substantial increase in the
currency translation amount included within stockholder's equity. Cash provided
by operating activities was $2.3 million, and the Company's cash levels remained
consistent with December 31, 1996 levels. Capital expenditures totaled $0.8
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. In addition, the Company
purchased substantially all the assets of HLT on February 28, 1997 in exchange
for a $5.0 million short-term note which matures in the second quarter of 1997.
The Company was not required to borrow any funds under its $30 million line of
credit during the quarter, and the full amount of credit under the line remained
available at March 31, 1997. The Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness is somewhat restricted by the covenants set forth in the Company's
borrowing arrangements.
In addition to paying the note issued to acquire HLT, the Company will be
required to make its first interest payment of $7.0 million on its 10 3/4%
Senior Notes on May 15, 1997. Existing cash levels are expected be sufficient to
meet these cash requirements; additionally, management believes that existing
cash levels and the $30 million line of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's needs for the next twelve months.
