Sales are made principally to rental companies and distributors that rent and sell the Company's products to a diverse customer base, which includes users in the industrial, commercial, institutional and construction markets. The Company has organized its business into two segments consisting of Machinery and Equipment Services. MACHINERY PRODUCTS Aerial work platforms are designed to permit workers to position themselves, their tools and materials effectively and quickly in elevated work areas that otherwise might have to be reached by the erection of scaffolding, by the use of ladders, or through other devices. Aerial work platforms consist of boom, scissor and vertical mast lifts. These work platforms are mounted at the end of telescoping and/or articulating booms or on top of scissor-type or other vertical lifting mechanisms, which, in turn, are mounted on mobile chassis. The Company offers aerial work platforms powered by electric motors, gasoline, diesel, or propane engines. All of the Company's aerial work platforms are designed for stable operation in elevated positions. JLG boom lifts are especially useful for reaching over machinery and equipment that is mounted on floors and for reaching other elevated positions not effectively approached by other vertical lifting devices. The Company produces boom lift models of various sizes with platform heights of up to 150 feet. The boom may be rotated up to 360 degrees in either direction, raised or lowered from vertical to below horizontal, and extended while the work platform remains horizontal and stable. These machines can be maneuvered forward or backward and steered in any direction by the operator from the work platform, even while the boom is extended. Boom-type models have standard-sized work platforms, which vary in size up to 3 by 8 feet, and the rated lift capacities range from 500 to 1,000 pounds. JLG scissor lifts are designed to provide larger work areas, and generally to allow for heavier loads than boom lifts. Scissor lifts may be maneuvered in a manner similar to boom lifts, but the platforms may be extended only vertically, except for an available option that extends the deck horizontally up to 6 feet. Scissor lifts are available in various models, with maximum platform heights of up to 50 feet and various platform sizes up to 6 by 14 feet. The rated lift capacities range from 500 to 2,500 pounds. JLG self-propelled and push-around vertical mast lifts consist of a work platform attached to an aluminum mast that extends vertically, which, in turn, is mounted on either a push-around or self-propelled base. Available in various models, these machines in their retracted position can fit through standard door openings, yet reach platform heights of up to 41 feet when fully extended. The rated lift capacity is 350 pounds. Gradall rough-terrain, variable-reach material handlers are typically used by residential, non-residential and institutional building contractors for lifting, transporting and placing a wide variety of materials at their point of use or storage. The Company manufactures and markets rough-terrain, variable-reach material handlers with rated lift capacities ranging from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds and lifting heights of up to 55 feet. Gradall excavators are distinguished from other types of excavators by their telescoping, rotating booms. The boom's arm-like motion increases the machine's versatility, maximizing the potential of the machine to use a wide variety of attachments. Excavators are typically used by contractors and government agencies for ditching, sloping, finish grading, general maintenance and infrastructure projects. Specialized excavator models are used in mining and railroad maintenance applications. EQUIPMENT SERVICES The Company's Equipment Services operations focus on after-sales service and support activities, including replacement parts sales, equipment rentals, training, used equipment sales and used equipment reconditioning. 2 4 This business is a significant factor in overall customer satisfaction and a strong contributor to the equipment purchase decision. The Company distributes replacement parts to customers through a system of parts depots and supplier direct shipment programs. These parts depots provide the Company's customers with immediate access to all the parts required to support the Company's equipment. Sales of replacement parts have historically been less cyclical and typically generate higher margins than sales of new equipment. The Company has been expanding its reliance on e-commerce using Internet-based technology in an effort to develop ever-closer relationships with its customers. To further this end, the Company handles most of its warranty transactions and nearly half of its parts orders via the Internet. The Company's rental fleet is used to support customer demands for rent-to-purchase financing and long-term rental contracts. Equipment Services also re-markets customer trade-ins and repairs and rebuilds equipment. This operation has been certified as meeting ISO 9002 standards relating to customer service quality. The Company supports the sales, service, and rental programs of its customers with product advertising, co-operative promotional programs, major trade show participation, and training programs covering service, products and safety. The Company supplements domestic sales and service support to its international customers through its overseas facilities in Australia, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom and joint ventures in Thailand and the Netherlands. To facilitate the sale of its products, the Company provides an array of financing and leasing services to its customers and end-users through its JLG Capital operation. These programs are diverse and provide customers with various financing options and are generally funded through third party financial institutions, with limited recourse to the Company. Financing has become an increasingly integral part of the Company's business. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION The Company's products are marketed internationally through independent rental companies and a network of independent distributors who rent and sell the Company's products and provide service support as well as other sales and service branches or organizations in which the Company holds equity positions. North American customers are located in all fifty states in the U.S., as well as in Canada and Mexico. International customers are located in Europe, the Asia/Pacific region, Australia, Japan and South America. The Company has branches or owns controlling interests in sales and service operations in South Africa, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Poland, the United kingdom and Australia and is a party to joint venture arrangements which serve as a distributor in Thailand and as a rental operation in the Netherlands. For 2000, sales to one customer amounted to 19% of sales and sales to a different customer amounted to 13% of sales. Sales to another customer amounted to 13% of sales for 1998. Certain of the Company's operations have been certified as meeting ISO-9001 and 9002 standards. The Company believes that certification is valuable because a number of customers require certification as a condition to doing business. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The Company invests significantly in product development and diversification, including improvement of existing products and modification of existing products for special applications. Product development expenditures totaled $15,751,000, $9,279,000 and $9,579,000 for the fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. New and redesigned products introduced in the past two years accounted for approximately 35% of fiscal 2000 sales. The Company has various registered trademarks and patents relating to its products and business. While the Company considers them to be beneficial in the operation of its business, the Company is not dependent on any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks. 3 5 COMPETITION The Company operates in the global construction and industrial equipment market. The Company's competitors range from some of the world's largest multi-national industrial equipment manufacturers to small single-product niche manufacturers. Within this global market segment, the Company faces competition principally from nine significant aerial work platform manufacturers and approximately 26 smaller manufacturers, 15 variable-reach material handler manufacturers and numerous other manufacturers of other products such as boom trucks, cherry pickers, mast climbers and various types of earth moving equipment that offer similar or overlapping functionality to the Company's products. The Company believes it is the world's leading manufacturer of boom lifts and scissor lifts and is one of the world's leading manufacturers of vertical mast lifts and variable-reach material handlers. The Company is currently a niche provider of excavators, but within the narrow category of highway-speed, wheeled, telescoping excavators, the Company believes that it is the world's leading supplier. The Company's Equipment Services operation principally competes with the above-mentioned manufacturers as well as certain of its customers particularly in the reconditioning and used equipment markets. Additionally, the Company faces competition for replacement parts from its suppliers and distributors who sell generic parts. MATERIAL AND SUPPLY ARRANGEMENTS The Company obtains raw materials, principally steel; other component parts, most notably engines, drive motors, tires, bearings and hydraulics; and supplies from third parties. The Company also outsources certain assemblies and fabricated parts. The Company relies on preferred vendors as a sole source for "just-in-time" delivery of many raw materials and manufactured components. The Company believes these arrangements have resulted in reduced investment requirements, greater access to technology developments and lower per-unit costs. Because the Company maintains limited raw material and component inventories, even brief unanticipated delays in delivery by suppliers may adversely affect the Company's ability to satisfy its customers on a timely basis and thereby affect the Company's financial performance. PRODUCT LIABILITY Because the Company's products are used to elevate and move personnel and materials above the ground, use of the Company's products involves exposure to personal injury, as well as property damage, particularly if operated improperly or without proper maintenance. The Company's estimates with respect to claims are based on internal evaluations of the merits of individual claims and the reserves assigned by the Company's independent firm. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting accrued liability are reviewed frequently, and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current earnings. Reserves are based on actual incidents and do not necessarily directly relate to sales activity. Based upon the Company's best estimate of anticipated losses, product liability costs approximated 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% of net sales, for the years ended July 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For additional information relative to product liability insurance coverage and cost, see the note entitled Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 8 of Part II of this report. EMPLOYEES The Company had 3,770 and 3,960 persons employed as of July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company believes its employee relations are good. Approximately 12% of the Company's employees are represented by a union under a contract which expires April 20, 2003. FOREIGN OPERATIONS The Company manufactures its products in the U.S. for sale throughout the world. Sales to customers outside the U.S. were 24%, 27% and 32% of total net sales for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Sales to European customers were 17%, 19% and 18% of total net sales for fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, 4 6 respectively. The decreases in the percentage from 1999 to 2000 were due principally to the weighting resulting from the Gradall acquisition.

All share and per share data have been adjusted for the two-for-one stock splits distributed in April and October 1995 and the three-for-one stock split distributed in July 1996. Amounts subsequent to 1998 reflect the acquisition of Gradall Industries, Inc. in June 1999. 7 9 ITEM 7-- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the year ended July 31, 2000, sales were a record $1.056 billion, up 47% from the $720 million reported for 1999. The acquisition of Gradall in June 1999 represented $177 million or 53% of the increase. Machinery sales were $931 million for 2000, an increase of $286 million, or 44%, from the $645 million for 1999. The increase included $158 million resulting from the acquisition of Gradall and gains across substantially all product classes and markets. Equipment Services sales for 2000 were $125 million, up $50 million or 67% compared to prior year. The increase in Equipment Services sales was attributable to sales of used equipment obtained primarily from trade-ins and sales resulting from a reduction in the Company's rental fleet as customers exercised purchase options converting rentals to sales. For the year ended July 31, 1999, sales were $720 million, an increase of 36% from $531 million for 1998. The acquisition of Gradall contributed $28 million to 1999 sales. Machinery sales were $645 million compared to $464 million for the prior year. Equipment Service sales were $75 million and $67 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The 36% top line growth for 1999 is principally attributable to steps the Company took to substantially expand its customer base, a continuing strong market for its products, the strong customer acceptance of new products and the contribution of Gradall. The Company's sales by product (in thousands) consisted of the following for the years ended July 31: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- -------- -------- Aerial work platforms....................... $ 790,352 $642,151 $485,171 Material handlers........................... 125,749 7,295 -- Excavators.................................. 60,144 18,367 -- Service parts, rentals, rebuilds and sales of rental fleet and used equipment........ 79,923 52,411 45,688 ---------- -------- -------- $1,056,168 $720,224 $530,859 ---------- -------- -------- International sales for 2000 were $250 million, up 29% from 1999. As a percentage of sales, international sales were 24%, 27% and 32% of total net sales for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in the percentage from 1999 to 2000 was due principally to the weighting resulting from the Gradall acquisition. Sales from new and redesigned products, defined as those introduced over a two-year period, represented 35%, 30% and 32% of sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross profit, as a percent of sales, decreased to 22% in 2000 from 23% in 1999. Gross profit was adversely affected by continuing pricing pressure, including the significant rise in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, particularly the Euro, and the impact of additional price discounts associated with the acceptance of trade-ins to displace competitor products during the year. The gross profit margin was favorably affected by the success of the Company's aggressive cost reduction programs. Gross profit, as a percent of sales, decreased to 23% in 1999 from 24% in 1998. This reduction was affected by competitive and program-related pricing, costs of meeting higher production demand and start-up costs related to new product introductions. These higher costs were partially offset by ongoing cost reduction efforts. Selling, administrative and product development expenses as a percentage of sales were 10% for fiscal 2000 compared to 11% for 1999 and 10% for 1998. The $34 million increase in selling, administrative and product development costs compared to 1999 was principally a result of the acquisition of Gradall in June 1999 which totaled $17 million, increased sales and service activities, higher employee retirement expenses and increased bad debt provisions. For 1999, the increase in dollars is primarily the result of higher personnel and related costs associated with the Company's expanding customer base and the impact of the Gradall acquisition. For 2000, goodwill amortization was $6 million, primarily due to the Gradall acquisition. The increase in interest expense for 2000 was due to an increase in average borrowings to fund the Gradall acquisition and seasonal working capital investments. In 1999, miscellaneous income included higher investment income earned 8 10 on cash balances and lower currency conversion losses. For 1998, miscellaneous expense was primarily comprised of currency conversion losses of $2 million, partially offset by investment income. The effective income tax rates were 37%, 33% and 34% for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in the 2000 effective tax rate was principally due to goodwill charges not being tax deductible. The rate for 1999 included an $1 million benefit to net income resulting from a change in accounting estimate, primarily attributable to additional tax incentives related to export sales for the 1998 year. FINANCIAL CONDITION Operating activities generated cash of $106 million 2000 compared to $35 million of cash generated 1999. The increase in cash flow from operations for 2000 was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of a portion of the Company's accounts receivable and an increase in the days purchases outstanding. Partially offsetting these benefits was an increase in inventory due to higher sales activity, an increase in stocking locations in Europe and the Company's decision to maintain sufficient inventory to match its customers' seasonal demand. Working capital increased in 1999 primarily due to increased receivable and inventory levels as well as the effects of the Gradall acquisition. Investing activities used cash of $14 million in 2000 compared to cash used of $233 million in 1999. During 2000, the Company made a strategic decision to downsize its rental fleet resulting in a net reduction of $8 million compared to a $5 million increase in 1999. The cash usage in 1999 was principally due to the expenditure to acquire Gradall. Financing activities used cash of $84 million in fiscal 2000 compared to cash provided of $160 million in 1999. The cash usage in 2000 was primarily the result of debt reduction and a Company share repurchase. At July 31, 2000, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase an additional 4.2 million shares of its capital stock. The cash provided in 1999 resulted principally from debt used to acquire Gradall. The Company will continue to have cash requirements to support seasonal working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and to repay debt. At July 31, 2000, the Company had unused credit lines totaling $277 million. In order to meet its future cash requirements, the Company intends to use internally generated funds and to borrow under its credit facilities. The Company believes that these resources will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements over the next 12 months. In addition to measuring its cash flow generation and usage based upon the operating, investing, and financing classifications included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company also measures its free cash flow. Free cash flow, a measure commonly employed by the financial community, is defined by the Company as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures including equipment held for rental, plus proceeds from the disposal of assets and unrealized currency gains or losses. During 2000, the Company had free cash flow of $92 million compared to negative free cash flow of $198 million for the corresponding period in 1999. The 1999 use of cash was primarily due to the acquisition of Gradall. The Company's exposure to product liability claims is discussed in the note entitled Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this report. Future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be affected to the extent that the Company's ultimate exposure with respect to product liability varies from current estimates. OUTLOOK This Outlook section and other parts of this Management's Discussion and Analysis contain forward-looking information and involve certain risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact expected results. Certain important factors that, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company's results of operations and that could cause such future results of operations to differ are described in "Cautionary Statements Pursuant to the Securities Litigation Reform Act" which is an exhibit to this report. As an industry leader, the Company is positioned to capitalize on the challenging -- but opportunity-rich -- marketplace in fiscal 2001. The global equipment rental business is expected to continue its robust growth, 9 11 leading to additional economies of scale and broadened end-user awareness that should further expand the demand for the Company's products. Management expects to grow sales not only through market share gains, but also through pull-through marketing initiatives designed to increase demand for the Company's products. Demand for the Company's equipment is anticipated to remain strong in fiscal 2001. Domestic demand for excavators should benefit from anticipated increases in Federal highway spending. Similarly, management expects sales of material handlers to grow through greater penetration at the major rental companies, new product introductions and increased demand from end-users for the Company's brand. Additionally, the rapid growth of AWP usage in Europe is anticipated to continue into fiscal 2001, leading to continuing growth in the Company's overseas markets. The Company also expects to introduce a substantial number of new products in fiscal 2001. The Company also expects to continue to reduce costs and to increase cash flow as management continues to enhance Gradall's operations and improve its capacity utilization and manufacturing processes. MARKET RISK The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect its future results of operations and financial condition. The Company manages its exposure to these risks principally through its regular operating and financing activities. While the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of its outstanding debt, the Company does not currently utilize any derivative financial instruments related to its interest rate exposure. Total short-term and long-term debt outstanding at July 31, 2000 was $98 million, consisting of $93 million in variable-rate borrowing and $5 million in fixed-rate borrowing. At this level of variable-rate borrowing, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would decrease pre-tax current year earnings by approximately $700,000 at July 31, 2000. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not result in a material change in the fair value of the Company's fixed-rate debt. The Company manufactures its products in the United States and sells these products in that market as well as international markets, principally Europe and Australia. As a result of the sales of its products in foreign markets, the Company's earnings are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, as compared to foreign currencies resulting from transactions in foreign markets. At July 31, 2000, the result of a uniform 10% strengthening in the value of the dollar relative to the currencies in which the Company's transactions are denominated would have the result of reducing gross profits for the year ended July 31, 2000 by approximately $18 million. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition to the direct effects of changes in exchange rates, such changes also affect the volume of sales or the foreign currency sales price as competitors' products become more or less attractive. The Company's sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates does not factor in a potential change in sales levels or local currency prices. 10 12 ITEM 8--FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA JLG INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA AND UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND STATEMENT PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used for 2000. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Sales of machinery and service parts are generally unconditional sales that are recorded when product is shipped and invoiced to independently owned and operated distributors and customers. Provisions for warranty are estimated and accrued at the time of sale. Actual warranty costs do not materially differ from estimates. In addition, net sales include rental revenues earned on the lease of equipment held for rental. Rental revenues are recognized in the period earned over the lease term. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents and classifies such amounts as cash. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method. Inventories consist of the following at July 31: 2000 1999 -------- -------- Finished goods.......................................... $ 97,858 $ 68,994 Raw materials and work in process....................... 52,775 61,105 -------- -------- 150,633 130,099 Less LIFO provision..................................... 2,642 4,528 -------- -------- $147,991 $125,571 ======== ======== PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND EQUIPMENT HELD FOR RENTAL: Property, plant and equipment and equipment held for rental are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of 15 years for land improvements, 10 to 20 years for buildings and improvements, three to 10 years for machinery and equipment, and three to seven years for equipment held for rental. Depreciation expense was $19,804, $18,780 and $15,750 for the fiscal years 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 15 17 GOODWILL: Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates whether an impairment exists on the basis of undiscounted expected future cash flows from operations for the remaining amortization period. If an impairment exists, the asset is reduced by the estimated shortfall of discounted cash flows. INCOME TAXES: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax balances are determined by using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are paid or refunds received. PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: The Company incurred product development and other engineering expenses of $15,751, $9,279 and $9,579 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which were charged to expense as incurred. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK: Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company had 14% of accounts receivable, including securitization, due from one customer at July 31, 2000. This concentration of credit risk is mitigated by a geographically diverse customer base and the Company's credit and collection process. The Company performs credit evaluations for all customers and secures transactions with letters of credit where it believes the risk warrants it. Write-offs for uncollected trade receivables have not been significant. ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION: All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed in the year incurred. Advertising and promotion expense was $7,064, $5,742 and $2,928 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The financial statements of the Company's Australian operation are measured in its local currency and then translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the current rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Results of operations have been translated using the average rates prevailing throughout the year. Translation gains or losses resulting from the changes in the exchange rates from year-to-year are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders' equity. The financial statements of the Company's European operation are prepared using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency. The transactions of this operation that are denominated in foreign currencies have been remeasured in U.S. dollars, and any resulting gain or loss is reported in income. The aggregate of foreign currency transaction losses included in the results of operations were $1,879, $398 and $1,611 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires that an entity record all derivatives in the statement of financial position at their fair value. It also requires changes in the fair value of derivatives to be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is 16 18 designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company is required to adopt this new accounting standard beginning August 1, 2000. The Company does not expect adoption of this statement to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. All registrants are expected to apply the accounting and disclosures described in SAB 101. The Company does not believe that its revenue recognition policy will be significantly affected by the adoption of SAB 101; however, additional implementation guidance is to be issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will complete its evaluation of the adoption of SAB 101 once this information is released. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. BANK CREDIT LINES AND LONG-TERM DEBT The Company has a $20 million unsecured bank revolving line of credit with a term of one year, renewable annually, and at an interest rate of prime or a spread over LIBOR. The Company also has $2.5 million in loan facilities with a term of one year, renewable annually, and at a fixed weighted average interest rate of 5.7%. Outstanding amounts under these lines of credit were $8.5 million and $2.7 million at July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has two separate credit agreements with a group of financial institutions that provide for a unsecured revolving credit facility with an aggregate commitment of $350 million and with a remaining term of four years. Borrowings under the agreements bear interest equal to either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.55% to 1.125%, depending on the Company's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA; or the greater of prime or federal funds rate plus 0.50%. The Company is required to pay an annual administrative fee of $35 and a facility fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.275%, depending on the Company's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA. The credit agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants requiring the maintenance of specified consolidated interest coverage, leverage ratios and a minimum net worth. Long-term debt was as follows at July 31: 2000 1999 ------- -------- Revolving credit facilities due 2004 with an average interest rate of 7.6% at July 31, 2000................. $87,000 $169,912 Other.................................................... 2,781 3,225 ------- -------- 89,781 173,137 Less current portion..................................... 663 625 ------- -------- $89,118 $172,512 ======= ======== Interest paid on all borrowings was $20,015, $811 and $251 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The aggregate amounts of long-term debt outstanding at July 31, 2000 which will become due in 2001 through 2005 are: $663, $378, $324, $87,262 and $133, respectively. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated to approximate the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet based on current interest rates for similar types of borrowings. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION In July 2000, the Company entered into a three-year receivables purchase agreement with an independent issuer of receivables-backed commercial paper. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to sell to a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, a designated pool of accounts receivable. This entity sells an undivided percentage ownership interest in all the receivables to a third-party. To maintain the balance in the pool of accounts receivable sold, the Company is 17 19 obligated to sell new receivables as existing receivables are collected. The agreement permits the sale of the undivided interest in accounts receivable through July 2003 of up to $65 million. At July 31, 2000, the undivided interest in the Company's pool of accounts receivable that had been sold to the purchasers aggregated $57 million, which was used to retire debt outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facilities. Sales of accounts receivable are reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The ongoing costs of this program were charged to interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company continues to service the receivables. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS Substantially all employees of the Company participate in defined contribution or non-contributory defined benefit plans. Approximately 12% of the Company's employees are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained multi-employer pension plans and an union employment contract which expires April 2003. The expense related to funding the multi-employer plan was $475 and $48 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company has discretionary, defined contribution retirement plans covering its eligible U.S. employees. The Company's policy is to fund the cost as accrued. Plan assets are invested in mutual funds and the Company's capital stock. The aggregate expense relating to these plans was $7,187, $6,565 and $5,332 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company also has non-qualified defined benefit plans that provide senior management with supplemental retirement, medical, disability and death benefits. 18 20 The following table sets forth the defined benefit pension and postretirement plans' funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements: PENSION BENEFITS POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS -------------------- ------------------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 --------- ------- ---------- ---------- Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year........... $ 18,474 $ 3,217 $ 21,471 $ 412 Acquisition................... -- 13,806 -- 20,798 Service cost.................. 1,773 300 750 113 Interest cost................. 1,504 348 1,542 227 Change in assumptions......... -- 867 (3,065) -- Change in participation....... 3,829 -- (59) 60 Actuarial (gain)/loss.........

STOCK BASED INCENTIVE PLANS The Company's stock incentive plan has reserved 4,641 shares of capital stock that may be awarded to key employees in the form of options to purchase capital stock or restricted shares. The option price and vesting terms of options and restricted shares are set by the Company's Board of Directors. For all options currently outstanding, the option price is the fair market value of the shares on their date of grant. The Company's stock option plan for directors provides for an annual grant to each outside director of a single option to purchase six thousand shares of capital stock, providing the Company earned a net profit, before extraordinary items, for the prior fiscal year. The option exercise price shall be equal to the shares' fair market value on their date of grant. An aggregate of 1,849 shares of capital stock is reserved to be issued under the plan. 22 24 Outstanding options and transactions involving the plans are summarized as follows: 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- WEIGHTED AVERAGE WEIGHTED AVERAGE WEIGHTED AVERAGE EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE OPTIONS PRICE OPTIONS PRICE OPTIONS PRICE ------- ---------------- ------- ---------------- ------- ---------------- Outstanding options at the beginning of the year... 2,164 $10.81 1,795 $ 7.51 1,466 $ 4.88 Options granted........... 1,092 11.11 522 20.78 479 14.59 Options canceled..........

Under this opinion, the Company does not recognize compensation expense arising from such grants because the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: 2000 1999 1998 ----- ----- ----- Volatility factor...................................... .524 .475 .478 Expected life in years................................. 3.9 2.8 3.0 Dividend yield......................................... .40% .10% .15% Interest rate.......................................... 6.12% 5.38% 5.73% Weighted-average fair market value at date of grant.... $5.06 $3.96 $5.12 For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows for the years ended July 31: 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- Net income....................................... $58,398 $60,142 $46,021 Earnings per common share........................ 1.33 1.37 1.05 Earnings per common share -- assuming dilution... 1.33 1.34 1.03 23 25 BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended July 31: 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- Net income....................................... $60,507 $61,271 $46,510 ======= ======= ======= Denominator for basic earnings per share -- weighted average shares............... 43,687 43,846 43,666 Effect of dilutive securities -- employee stock options and unvested restricted shares......... 382 1,116 765 ------- ------- ------- Denominator for diluted earning per share -- weighted average shares adjusted for dilutive securities..................................... 44,069 44,962 44,431 ======= ======= ======= Earnings per common share........................ $ 1.39 $ 1.40 $ 1.07 ======= ======= ======= Earnings per common share -- assuming dilution... $ 1.37 $ 1.36 $ 1.05 ======= ======= ======= During fiscal 2000, options to purchase 1.3 million shares of capital stock at a range of $11.41 to $21.94 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the capital shares. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN Effective May 24, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of capital stock to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2000. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one-tenth of a share of Company capital stock at a purchase price of $40 per whole share of Company capital stock. The Rights will expire on May 24, 2010 unless redeemed earlier by the Company or exchanged for capital stock. Separate certificates for Rights will not be distributed, nor will the Rights be exercisable unless a person or group (an "Acquiring Person") acquires 15% or more, or announces an offer that could result in acquiring 15% or more of the Company's capital shares unless such acquisition or offer is pursuant to a Permitted Offer approved by a majority of directors who are not officers of the Company or affiliates of the Acquiring Person. Following an acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's capital shares (a "Stock Acquisition"), each Rightholder, except the 15% or more stockholder, has the right to receive, upon exercise, capital shares valued at twice the then applicable exercise price of the Right (or, under certain circumstances, cash, property or other Company securities.) Similarly, unless certain conditions are met, if the Company engages in a merger or other business combination following a Stock Acquisition where it does not survive or survives a change or exchange of its capital shares or if 50% or more of its assets, earning power or cash flow is sold or transferred, the Rights become exercisable for shares of the acquirer's stock having a value of twice the exercise price (or, under certain circumstances, cash or property.) The Rights are not exercisable, however, until the Company's right of redemption described below has expired. At any time until 10 business days following public announcement that a 15% or greater position has been acquired in the Company's stock, a majority of the Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right, payable, at the election of such majority of the Board of Directors in cash or shares of Company capital stock. Immediately upon the action of a majority of the Board of Directors ordering the redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price. 24 26 REPURCHASE OF CAPITAL STOCK During the year ended July 31, 2000, the Company repurchased 795 shares of its capital stock at an aggregate cost of $6.8 million. At July 31, 2000, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase an additional 4.2 million shares of its capital stock. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a party to personal injury and property damage litigation arising out of incidents involving the use of its products. The Company's insurance program for 2000 was comprised of a self-insured retention of $7 million for domestic claims, insurance coverage of $2 million for international claims and catastrophic coverage for domestic and international claims of $75 million in excess of the retention and primary coverage. The Company contracts with an independent firm to provide claims handling and adjustment services. The Company's estimates with respect to claims are based on internal evaluations of the merits of individual claims and the reserves assigned by the Company's independent firm. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting accrued liability are reviewed frequently, and any adjustments resulting therefrom are reflected in current earnings. Claims are paid over varying periods, which generally do not exceed five years. Accrued liabilities for future claims are not discounted. With respect to all product liability claims of which the Company is aware, accrued liabilities of $16.1 million and $14.1 million were established at July 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. While the Company's ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued, the Company believes that it is unlikely that it would experience losses that are materially in excess of such reserve amounts. As of July 31, 2000 and 1999, there were no insurance recoverables or offset implications and there were no claims by the Company being contested by insurers. RESTRUCTURING COSTS During the calendar year 1997, the Company downsized and rationalized its operations. This resulted in restructuring charges for severance and termination benefits, costs associated with closing a smaller, less productive manufacturing facility and other asset impairments were $1,689 in 1998.

In management's opinion, the financial statements reflect amounts based upon its best estimates and informed judgments and present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls and procedures which are intended, consistent with justifiable cost, to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed as authorized, that they are properly recorded to produce reliable financial records, and that accountability for assets is maintained. The accounting controls and procedures are supported by careful selection and training of personnel, examination by an internal auditor and continuing management commitment to the integrity of the internal control system. The financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors. The independent auditors have evaluated the Company's internal controls and performed tests of procedures and accounting records in connection with the issuance of their reports on the fairness of the financial statements. The Board of Directors has appointed an Audit Committee composed entirely of directors who are not employees of the Company. The Audit Committee meets with representatives of management, the internal auditor and independent auditors both separately and jointly. Its functions include recommending the selection of independent auditors; conferring with the independent auditors and reviewing the scope and fees of the annual audit and the results thereof; reviewing the Company's annual report to shareholders and annual filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; reviewing the adequacy of the Company's internal audit function, as well as the accounting and financial controls and procedures; and approving the nature and scope of nonaudit services performed by the independent auditors.

McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JLG Industries, Inc. as of July 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2000. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of JLG Industries, Inc. at July 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
