Administrative Committee and Trustees
JLG Industries, Inc. Employees'
   Retirement Savings Plan
McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania

          We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for Plan benefits of the JLG Industries, Inc. Employees' Retirement Savings Plan
(Plan) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 of America. 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 net assets available for benefits of the
Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in its net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

          Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2002 and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The JLG Industries, Inc. Employees' Retirement Savings Plan ("Plan") is a
     defined contribution plan which covers substantially all domestic employees
     of JLG Industries, Inc., JLG Equipment Services, Inc., Access Financial
     Solutions, Inc. and JLG Manufacturing, LLC (collectively the "Company").
     The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     The Plan consists of two parts: a 401(k) savings feature and Company profit
     sharing contributions. The 401(k) savings feature provides for both
     participants' pre-tax contributions and the Company's matching
     contributions. Participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions up to
     20% of their eligible compensation. Participants may also contribute
     amounts representing distributions from other tax qualified plans. The
     Company matches participants' contributions at a rate of $.50 for every
     $1.00 contributed up to a maximum of 5% of the participants' eligible
     compensation. Profit sharing contributions are based upon the profitability
     of the Company and the amounts are as determined at the discretion of the
     Board of Directors of JLG Industries, Inc.

     Participants become vested in their account balances as follows: immediate
     and full vesting of their 401(k) contributions and graduated vesting in
     their profit sharing and Company matching contributions. Participants
     become fully vested in their Company matching 401(k) contributions, profit
     sharing accounts, and company stock accounts after four years of service,
     with 25% vesting after two years, 50% vesting after three years, and 100%
     vesting after four years of service. Upon termination of employment, the
     participants receive the vested portion of their accounts in accordance
     with Plan provisions.

     If hired after October 2001, employees become participants in the Plan on
     the first day of the month following 30 days of employment. Participants'
     accounts are credited with their 401(k) contributions and the Company's
     profit-sharing and 401(k) matching contributions. Participants also receive
     allocations of Plan earnings or losses. Allocations of Plan earnings are
     based upon participants' average account balances.

     As of October 1, 2001, participant-directed contributions were directed
     from existing mutual funds into the 13 investment options described below.
     Participants may change their investment elections daily in 5% increments.
     The accounts of participants who do not make such an election are
     automatically invested in the Stable Value Fund.

     SHORT TERM/STABLE VALUE FUND (MM MONEY MARKET): This fund seeks current
     income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of principal. It
     invests primarily in short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity
     not exceeding 397 days. The most common types are U.S. Treasury bills
     (T-bills) issued by the U.S. government, commercial paper issued by
     corporations, and certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by banks and other
     savings institutions. David L. Babson and Company Inc. is the investment
     manager of the fund.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     FIXED INCOME FUND (PIMCO TOTAL RETURN): This fund seeks maximum total
     return, consisting of current income and price appreciation, consistent
     with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. The fund
     invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities, including U.S.
     Government bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed bonds, and money market
     instruments. The fund may also invest a portion of its assets in high-yield
     securities and non-U.S. securities. The average duration, or interest rate
     sensitivity, of the fund is between three and six years normally within one
     and a half years of the bond market as a whole. Pacific Investment
     Management Company LLC is the investment manager of the fund.

     BALANCED FUND (OPPENHEIMER QUEST BALANCED VALUE): This fund invests in
     equity and fixed-income securities in pursuit of capital growth and current
     income. Typically, a large portion of the fund will be invested in the
     stock of 15 - 30 large, well-established, undervalued companies. Under
     normal conditions, the portion of the fund invested in equity securities
     might range from 50% - 75%. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment
     manager of the fund, and OpCap Advisors is an adviser to the
     OppenheimerFunds.

     LARGE CAP VALUE FUND (MM LARGE CAP VALUE): This fund invests in common
     stocks of growing companies with market capitalizations greater than $5
     billion. The manager seeks to invest in stocks that are selling at
     discounted valuations and to hold them for the long term. Davis Selected
     Advisers, L.P. is the investment manager of the fund.

     LARGE CAP CORE INDEX FUND (VANGUARD INSTITUTIONAL INDEX): This fund holds
     all of the 500 stocks that make up the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500
     Composite Stock Price Index, a widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock
     market performance, in proportion to their weighting in the index. The fund
     attempts to match the performance of the index and remains fully invested
     in stocks at all times. Though the fund seeks to match the index, its
     performance typically can be expected to fall short by a small percentage
     representing operating costs. The Vanguard Group, Inc. is the investment
     manager of the fund.

     LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND (MM GROWTH EQUITY): This fund invests in stocks of
     companies that offer long-term growth. Fundamental analysis identifies
     well-run, growing companies that have strong management, a successful track
     record, long-term earnings growth, and potential for market leadership. MFS
     Investment Management is the investment manager of the fund.

     MID CAP VALUE FUND (MM FOCUSED VALUE): This fund invests in equity
     securities of medium-sized U.S. companies that are trading at significant
     discounts. The fund normally holds fewer stocks than a diversified fund,
     and will concentrate among 18 - 22 stocks. The fund may invest up to 25% of
     its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers. Harris Associates, L.P.
     is the investment manager of the fund.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     MID CAP GROWTH FUND (MM MID CAP GROWTH II): This fund invests in stocks of
     companies with medium-sized market capitalizations that have proven
     products or services and above-average earnings. The fund's emphasis is on
     companies with strong balance sheets and the cash flow to fund growth. T.
     Rowe Price Associates is the investment manager of the fund.

     SMALL CAP VALUE EQUITY FUND (DLB SMALL CO. OPPORTUNITIES): This fund
     invests in equity securities of micro cap companies with market
     capitalizations, when purchased, or under $250 million. The manager selects
     companies with above-average returns on assets and equity, low debt, and
     well-regarded management. David L. Babson and Company Inc. is the
     investment manager of the fund.

     SMALL CAP GROWTH EQUITY FUND (MM SMALL CAP GROWTH): This fund invests in
     stocks of smaller companies believed to offer potential for long-term
     growth. The fund is co-managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc.
     and Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company.

     INTERNATIONAL/GLOBAL FUND (MM INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND): This fund invests
     in common stocks of varied-sized companies located in Europe, the Far East,
     and emerging markets. Oppenheimer is manager of the fund. Stock selection
     is guided by economic, political, and social influences in the
     international community that dictate long-term growth trends.

     COMPANY STOCK FUND: This fund invests in JLG common stock. Additional
     information about this fund appears in the body of the Combined Summary
     Plan Description and Prospectus. Mass Mutual manages this fund.

     SELF-DIRECTED BROKERAGE ACCOUNT: This investment option permits a
     participant to select his own investments. State Street Brokerage provides
     brokerage services to this account. The account does not have an investment
     manager. Instead, the participant is responsible for selecting and
     monitoring his or her own investments. Additional information about this
     fund appears in the body of the Combined Summary Plan Description and
     Prospectus.

     Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to the
     lesser of $50,000, 50% of their vested account balance, or 100% of their
     pre-tax, after-tax, and rollover account balances. Loan terms generally do
     not exceed five years. Loans are secured by the balance in the
     participant's account and bear interest at a reasonable rate to be
     determined at the time the loan begins based on prevailing market rates.
     Principal and interest is paid ratable through payroll deductions.

     On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a
     lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in
     his or her account or a life annuity.

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the
     event of such termination, the net assets of the Plan are to be distributed
     in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, but in no event shall any

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

     The Plan is administered by the Administrative Committee of JLG Industries,
     Inc. (the Corporation). The Corporation may pay all or part of the
     out-of-pocket administrative expenses of the Plan. Any expenses not paid by
     the Corporation shall be paid out of Plan assets.

     The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
     Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description or Plan agreement
     for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. Copies are
     available from the Company's Human Resources Department.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis.
     Interest and dividend income is recognized when earned, and benefits are
     recognized when paid.

     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 net assets and disclosure
     of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
     statements and the reported amounts of contributions, earning, expenses and
     benefit payments during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

     INVESTMENT VALUATION

     Investments are stated at aggregate market value. Securities which are
     traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported
     sales price on the last business day of the year. The Plan's investments in
     mutual funds are valued at the aggregate of the quoted market prices of the
     underlying securities.

     Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. The
     unrealized difference in market value from one year to the next and
     realized gains and losses are recognized as net appreciation (depreciation)
     in fair value of investments in the accompanying statements of changes in
     net assets available for benefits.

     FORFEITED ACCOUNTS

     For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, no forfeitures of Company
     contributions were used to offset employer contributions. At December 31,
     2002 and 2001, $636,642 and $339,717, respectively, are available to reduce
     future employer contributions.

     RECLASSIFICATION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The 2001 financial statements include certain reclassifications to conform
     to the current year reporting practices.

NOTE E - OBLIGATIONS DUE TERMINATED/RETIRED PARTICIPANTS

     The amounts due terminated and retired participants with vested interests
     as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $803,590 and $1,980,203,

NOTE F - TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Corporation by
     a letter dated July 18, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed
     in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
     However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
     Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income
     taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
