JLG INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2000
(in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.

Interim results for the three month period ended October 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
as a whole. For further information, refer to consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended July 31, 2000.

Effective August 1, 2000, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards 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 designated as part of
a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Upon adoption,
FAS 133 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements
because the Company has not entered into significant derivative or hedging
instruments as of August 1 and October 31, 2000.

INVENTORIES AND COST OF SALES

A precise inventory valuation under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method can
only be made at the end of each fiscal year; therefore, interim LIFO inventory
valuation determinations, including the determination at October 31, 2000, must
necessarily be based on management's estimate of expected fiscal year-end
inventory levels and costs.

Inventories consist of the following:

During the quarter ended October 31, 2000, options to purchase 1.3 million

was greater than the average market price of the 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 fiscal year 2000 is 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 international 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 $16.2 million and $16.1 million were established at
October 31, 2000 and July 31, 2000, 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 October 31, 2000 and July 31, 2000, there
were no insurance recoverables or offset implications and there were no claims
by the Company being contested by insurers.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTERS OF FISCAL 2001 AND 2000

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $232.7 million, up 7% over the
$218.0 million in the comparable year-ago period. Machinery sales for the
current year quarter were $209.7 million an increase of $27.6 million, or 15%,
from the $182.1 million for the comparable prior year quarter. The increase is
principally attributable to strong North American aerial work platform sales
offset in part by lower international volume resulting from the strong U. S.
dollar. Equipment Services sales for the current year quarter were $23.0 million
a decrease of $12.8 million, or 36%, from the $35.9 million for the comparable
prior year quarter. The first quarter of fiscal 2000 benefited from a large sale
by Equipment Services.

Domestic sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $183.1 million, up 12%
from the comparable year-ago period sales of $162.9 million. International sales
for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $49.6 million, down 10% from the
corresponding quarter of the previous year. Sales from new and redesigned
products, defined as those introduced over a two-year period, represented 28% of
sales.

The Company's sales by product (in thousands) consisted of the following for the
first quarter ended October 31:



                                                  2000          1999

                                                ========      ========


Gross profit margins declined to 22.6% for the first quarter over the comparable
year-ago quarter's 24.1%. The principal contributors to this reduction were the
dramatic strengthening of the US dollar against foreign currencies, particularly
the Euro, British pound and Australian dollar, and competitive pricing
pressures. These reductions were partially offset by ongoing cost savings
initiatives.

Selling, administrative and product development expenses as a percent of sales
improved to 11.1% for the current year first quarter from 12.4% for the prior
year first quarter as the Company leveraged slightly lower expenses in fiscal
2001 over a larger sales base. In terms of dollars, the reduction reflects lower
bonus and profit sharing costs offset in part by pension charges due to early
retirements.

Miscellaneous expense included currency losses of $2.1 million in first quarter
of fiscal 2001 compared to $124 thousand in the corresponding prior year period.
The current year period also benefited from a $1.0 million gain on the sale of
the Company's interest in its Brazilian joint venture.

The effective tax rate was 37% for the current and prior year periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash flow from operating activities was $59.4 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 versus $77.8 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2000. The
most significant factor underlying the change was the $53.8 million in accounts
receivable securitization, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts
receivable due to extended credit terms.

Investing activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 used $2.6 million
of cash compared to $4.4 million for last year's first quarter. The decrease in
cash usage was principally due to net expenditures for equipment held for rental
in the current fiscal year, while in fiscal 2000 there was a net retirement. In
addition, the current year period included proceeds from the sale of the
Company's interest in its Brazilian joint venture and a decline in capital
expenditures compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2000, which included
expenditures on new facilities in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania and Orrville, Ohio.

Financing activities provided cash of $51.6 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2001 compared to $70.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The
decrease in cash provided from financing activities largely resulted from lower
borrowings under the Company's credit facilities due to the receivables
securitization discussed above. In conjunction with the Company's share
repurchase program, the first quarter of fiscal 2001 included the repurchase of
777 thousand shares at an aggregate cost of $9.4 million.

At October 31, 2000, the Company had unused credit lines totaling $238 million.
In order to meet its future cash requirements, the Company intends to use
internally generated funds and to borrow under its credit facilities. Based on
its forecasting process, 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 the first quarter of fiscal
2001, the Company had negative free cash flow of $60 million compared to
negative free cash flow of $82 million for the corresponding period in fiscal
2000.

The Company's exposure to product liability claims is discussed in the note
entitled Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed 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.

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.

Management is cautiously optimistic concerning the outlook for the whole year.
Management's plan assumes market share gains in an overall contracting North
American market. In Europe, management's plans assume no worsening of currency
rates. Management believes that based on the foregoing and the combination of
the Company's market leadership, manufacturing efficiency, and commitment to
product innovation, combined with first quarter actual results, confirms its
previously stated range of $1.55 to $1.60 in earnings per share for fiscal 2001
with a quarterly pattern similar to fiscal 2000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT 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 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 interest
bearing liabilities at October 31, 2000 consisted of $154 million in variable
rate borrowing, $54 million in accounts receivable securitization and $5 million
in fixed rate borrowing. At the current level of variable rate borrowing, a
hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would decrease pre-tax current year
earnings by approximately $1.5 million on an annual basis. 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 does not have a material exposure to financial risk from using
derivative financial instruments to manage its foreign currency exposures. For
additional information, reference is made to Item 7 in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2000.

Independent Accountants' Review Report


The Board of Directors
JLG Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of JLG
Industries, Inc. (the "Company") as of October 31, 2000, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month
periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements referred to above for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of JLG Industries,
Inc. as of July 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein), and in our report dated September 6, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of July 31, 2000, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
