UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are based
on our historical financial statements and the historical financial statements
of Potain and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements included in this offering memorandum.

   The pro forma financial statements reflect the following:

  .  the acquisition of Potain;

  .  the issuance of (Euro)175.0 million (approximately U.S. $164.3 million
     computed at the noon buying rate on December 29, 2000) of senior
     subordinated notes in this offering;

  .  borrowings of $387.7 million under our new senior credit facility; and

  .  the prepayment of outstanding borrowings under our existing revolving
     credit facility and our existing senior notes due 2010.

   Pro forma adjustments to historical financial statements include
adjustments that we deem appropriate, reflecting items of recurring
significance and which are factually supported based on currently available
information. We assumed that the acquisition of Potain and related financing
transactions, including the issuance of the notes, occurred on January 1, 2000
for purposes of preparing the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
earnings and on December 31, 2000 for purposes of preparing the condensed
consolidated balance sheet. The pro forma financial statements may not be
indicative of what actual results would have been, nor do the pro forma
financial statements purport to present our condensed consolidated financial
results for future periods.

   The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data has been
derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Manitowoc and
Potain. The pro forma adjustments, as described in the notes that follow, are
based upon available information and upon certain assumptions that management
believes are reasonable. You should read this information in conjunction with
the financial statements of Manitowoc and Potain included elsewhere in this
offering memorandum. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements are included for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be
indicative of the results of Manitowoc in the future or what the financial
position and results of operations would have been had Manitowoc acquired
Potain on the dates described above.

   Amounts in U.S. dollars have been translated from euro at the rate of
(Euro)1.00 to $0.94, the noon buying rate on December 29, 2000, in the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and at the rate of
(Euro)1.00 to $0.92, the average noon buying rate on the last business day of
each month during 2000, in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of earnings.

   The following adjustments have been made to the historical condensed
consolidated historical statements of earnings of Manitowoc and Potain to

    The revolving credit facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of
  $125.0 million, has a 0.375% commitment fee on the unused balance (see Note
  (4) below).

    The above interest amounts related to the revolving credit facility and
  term loans assume a LIBOR rate of 5.1%. A 0.125% increase or decrease in
  the assumed average interest rate would change the pro forma interest
  expense for the year ended December 31, 2000 by approximately $485,000.

    (4) To record the commitment fee related to the assumed unused balance of
  the new revolving credit facility which provides for maximum borrowings of
  $125.0 million.

                                       3


    (5) To adjust the provision for taxes on income to an effective income
  tax rate of 41%.

    (6) Upon consummation of this offering, we will recognize an
  extraordinary loss ($2.1 million, net of tax effects) related to the early
  extinguishment of our existing debt which will be paid from proceeds from
  the financing.

    (7) EBITDA consists of earnings from operations plus depreciation and
  amortization. We have presented EBITDA information solely as a supplemental
  disclosure because management believes that it is generally accepted as
  providing useful information regarding a company's ability to service
  and/or incur debt. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to
  earnings from operations as determined in accordance with generally
  accepted accounting principles as an indicator of our operating
  performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities
  as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
  as a measure of liquidity. We have significant uses of cash flows,
  including capital expenditures and debt principal repayments that are not
  reflected in EBITDA. It should also be noted that not all companies that
  report EBITDA information calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.

    (8) Potain capital expenditures of $30.3 million represent additions to
  gross fixed assets, which include intangible assets; goodwill; property,
  plant and equipment; financial assets and investments accounted for by the
  equity method. Approximately $20.5 million of these capital expenditures
  represent investment in Potain's crane rental fleet, including an $8.1
  million one-time conversion of certain sales contracts for capital leases
  in reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Management estimates that the portion of
  pro forma capital expenditures related to additions to property, plant and
  equipment (excluding the crane rental fleet) was approximately $23.2
  million.

    (9) For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges,
  earnings consist of earnings from operations before income taxes and fixed
  charges, excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest
  expensed and capitalized, amortization of debt issuance costs and the
  interest component of rent expense.

    (2) Represents the elimination of Potain historical amounts related to
  cash, deferred income taxes, minority interest, and stockholders' equity.

    (3) To record goodwill of $196.5 million in connection with the Potain
  acquisition. The purchase price of $312.7 million includes the amount to be
  paid to Group Legris Industries SA (seller) of $307.7 million plus
  estimated direct acquisition costs of $5.0 million. In addition, the seller
  will be paid the cash balance of Potain at December 31, 2000 of $11.0
  million. The purchase price is subject to an adjustment for the net
  earnings of Potain from January 1, 2001, to the closing date.

  The excess of the purchase consideration over the net assets acquired
  (goodwill) is required to be applied to write-up assets to their fair
  market value. No appraisals of assets have yet to be performed and all of
  the excess of purchase consideration over the net assets to be acquired is
  being recorded as goodwill. Subsequent valuation analyses could potentially
  change the purchase price allocation. Goodwill is being amortized over
  forty years for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
  statement of earnings.

    (4) Reflects estimated new debt issuance costs of approximately $15,200
  that will be incurred as a result of the acquisition of Potain and related
  debt financing, net of a write-off of $678 of unamortized debt issuance
  costs related to existing debt which is paid with the proceeds of the
  financing. The deferred financing fees are being amortized over the term of
  the related debt, which ranges from 6 to 10 years.


    (5) To record the effects of the extraordinary loss related to the early
  extinguishment of the existing Manitowoc debt as follows:
