Item 2 Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On September 18, 1996, Oshkosh Truck Corporation (Oshkosh) acquired
all of the issued and outstanding stock of Pierce Manufacturing Inc.
(Pierce) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 1996. The
previous shareholders included The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Company and affiliates which controlled 51.4% of the outstanding stock and
the remainder was owned or controlled by the senior management and
directors of Pierce. The transaction encompassed all of the assets,
liabilities and the ongoing business of Pierce.
Pierce is a leading U.S. fire truck manufacturer and offers a broad
array of specialty fire apparatus including custom and commercial pumpers,
aerial units, and rescue trucks. Oshkosh intends to continue to operate
Pierce as a fire truck manufacturer. A total of 1,200 employees are
located at Pierce's facilities near Appleton, Wisconsin. Pierce will
continue to operate under its own name as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Oshkosh.
The purchase price, established by a competitive bid process set by
the sellers, totaled $158 million, payable in cash at the date of the
closing of September 18, 1996. As of the date of the acquisition, Pierce
had cash of approximately $4 million and no outstanding debt.
No material relationship exists between the shareholders of Seller
and shareholders of the Registrant or any of their affiliates, any
director or officer of Seller and the Registrant or any associate of any
such director or officer.
The acquisition was financed by a $200 million bank credit facility
syndicated by Firstar Bank Milwaukee, N.A., as agent. The facility
consists of a $150 million term loan and a $50 million revolving credit
facility for the continuing working capital requirements of Oshkosh.

TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of
Pierce Manufacturing Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pierce
Manufacturing Inc. (a Wisconsin corporation) and subsidiaries as of
October 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended October 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pierce
Manufacturing Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended October 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

PIERCE MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
(1) Nature of Business-
Pierce Manufacturing Inc. (the "Company") designs and manufactures
fire and emergency vehicles for sale primarily to municipalities
throughout the United States.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-
(a) Principles of consolidation-
The consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, include the accounts of the Company, Dover
Technologies, Inc. (an inactive marketing corporation) and Pierce
Manufacturing International Inc. (a foreign sales corporation).
All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents-
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to be all cash
and short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or
less.
(c) Property, plant and equipment-
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions and
improvements which extend the useful life of property and
equipment since the date of acquisition are capitalized at their
cost while repair and maintenance costs are expensed. When items
of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any gain or loss is included in results of operations.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is made on a
straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings 30 years
Machinery and equipment 7 years
Depreciation expense included in the consolidated statements of
income was $2,866,000, $3,409,000 and $2,847,000 for the years
ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(d) Goodwill-
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over 25
years.
(e) Product warranty-
The Company provides for the estimated cost of warranty work
related to specific shipments. Amounts expensed related to
continuing operations in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $1,508,000,
$3,702,000 and $1,878,000, respectively.
(f) Customer advances-
Customer advances represent amounts received from customers in
advance of the completion of the truck. Certain of these
advances bear interest to the customer. Interest rates on the
advances are variable based on current lending rates. Interest
expense included in the consolidated statements of income was
$737,000, $518,000 and $409,000 for the years ended October 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(g) Postretirement benefits other than pensions-
The Company does not provide health, life insurance or any
related benefits to its retirees.
(h) Advertising costs-
All advertising costs are generally expensed when incurred.
Advertising expense included in the consolidated statements of
income was $357,000, $318,000 and $418,000 for the years ended
October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(i) Income taxes-
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." Under this method, deferred income taxes are provided
for temporary differences in the financial reporting and income
tax bases of certain assets and liabilities at the tax rate
expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
(j) Use of estimates-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(k) Reclassifications-
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made in
order to conform to the current year presentation.
(3) Inventories-
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined principally on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
Inventories consisted of the following:
October 31,
1995 1994
Current cost-
Raw materials $6,057,000 $6,615,000
Fabricated parts 769,000 1,101,000
Work-in-process and finished goods 24,730,000 23,317,000

Unsecured Senior Subordinated Note which was due in equal amounts of
$5,100,000 on August 31, 1996 and 1997. In connection with the early
retirement of this debt, the Company recognized an extraordinary
charge of $377,000 (net of tax) which included accelerated
amortization of original issue discount and a premium paid to the
lender for the early payment of principal.
The Company has a $15,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement (the
"Agreement") with a bank, which expires on January 31, 1998.
Borrowings under the Agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus
.25% (9.0% at October 31, 1995). As shown above, there were no
borrowings under the Agreement at October 31, 1995. There are no
compensating balance requirements.
The terms of the Agreement require the Company, among other things,
to maintain certain financial ratios and balances, primarily net
worth and current ratio. In addition, this Agreement includes
covenants restricting further indebtedness, capital expenditures and
the payment of dividends. The Company has met all of the
requirements of the Agreement, as of October 31, 1995.
(5) Employee Benefit Plans-
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees. Employee benefits are based upon years

comprised of the following:
1995 1994 1993
Service cost $163,000 $163,000 $165,000

pension plan and the amount recognized in the Company's consolidated
balance sheets as of October 31:
1995 1994
Projected benefit obligation:
Vested benefits $(2,702,000) $(2,351,000)

Unrecognized transition asset (377,000) (414,000)
-------- --------
Prepaid pension asset $931,000 $743,000
======= =======
Assumptions used in determining the funded status of the pension plan
for the 1995, 1994 and 1993 plan years were:
1995 1994 1993
Discount rate 7.75% 7.75% 7.75%
Long-term rate of return 7.75% 7.75% 8.00%
The Company makes a contribution to the qualified plan each year, at
least equal to the minimum required contribution as defined by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The unrecognized
net asset arising from the transition to Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 87, is being amortized through 2003.
Plan assets consist primarily of common trust funds.
The Company makes a discretionary profit sharing payment to
substantially all employees each year. The Company recorded a
provision of $458,000, $350,000 and $615,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The Company also sponsors a retirement savings plan in which all
employees may voluntarily elect to participate. Under this plan, the
Company matches a portion of the amounts contributed by employees.
The Company recorded expense related to this plan of $325,000,
$315,000 and $298,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
(6) Income Taxes-

--------- --------- ---------
Total income tax
provision $4,201,000 $2,075,000 $4,189,000
========= ========= =========
The reasons for the differences between the income tax provision and
the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory income tax rate
to the book net income before taxes are as follows:
1995 1994 1993
Tax provision at Federal $3,702,000 $1,772,000 $3,580,000
statutory rate
State income taxes net of 462,000 381,000 620,000
Federal taxes
Other 37,000 (78,000) (11,000)
--------- --------- ---------
$4,201,000 $2,075,000 $4,189,000
========= ========= =========
Net current future tax benefits arise primarily from accrued
liabilities which are not currently deductible for income tax
purposes. The net current future tax benefits at October 31, 1995
and 1994, are comprised of the following:
1995 1994
