THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999



(Unaudited)



Note 1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited

condensed consolidated financial statements contain all

adjustments, representing normal recurring accruals,

necessary to present fairly the results of operations,

cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months

ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the financial position

at March 31, 2000. The interim results are not

necessarily indicative of results for a full year and do

not contain information included in the Company's annual

consolidated financial statements and notes for the year

ended December 31, 1999. The consolidated balance sheet

as of December 31, 1999 was derived from audited

financial statements, but does not include all

disclosures required by generally accepted accounting

principles. It is suggested that these financial

statements be read in conjunction with financial

statements and the notes thereto included in the

Company's latest annual report.





Note 2. The components of inventory at March 31, 2000 and

December 31, 1999 are summarized as follows (in

thousands):

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


March 31, 2000 Dec. 31, 1999

----------------- -------------

<S> <C> <C>
Components:

Raw materials $ 47,900 $ 39,134

Work-in-process 30,021 30,218

Finished goods 42,329 42,352

--------- --------

Total inventories at FIFO costs 120,250 111,704



Excess of FIFO costs

over LIFO value (20,627) (20,267)

--------- --------

Total inventories $ 99,623 $ 91,437

========= =========
</TABLE>

Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in,

first-out (FIFO) method for 58% and 57% of total inventory at March

31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The remainder of the

inventory is costed using the lower of the last-in, first-out

(LIFO) method.



Note 3. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")

has identified the company as a potentially responsible

party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental

Response Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"),

liable for the costs associated with investigating and

cleaning up contamination at the Lemberger Landfill

Superfund Site (the "Site") near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.



Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped

substances to the Site. Eleven of the potentially responsible

parties have formed a group (the Lemberger Site Remediation Group,

or LSRG) and have successfully negotiated with the EPA and the

Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to settle the potential

liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.



Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up the Site

could be as high as $30 million, however, the ultimate allocation

of costs for the Site is not yet final. Although liability is

joint and several, the Company's percentage share of liability is

estimated to be 11% of the total cleanup costs. Prior to December

31, 1996, the Company accrued $3.3 million in connection with this

matter. There were no expenses incurred for the quarters ended

March 31, 2000 and 1999. Remediation work at the Site has been

completed, with only long-term pumping and treating of ground water

and Site maintenance remaining. The remaining estimated liability

for this matter, included in other current and noncurrent

liabilities at March 31, 2000, is $1.1 million.



As of March 31, 2000, 30 product-related lawsuits were pending. Of

these, two occurred between 1985 and 1990 when the Company was

completely self-insured. The remaining lawsuits occurred

subsequent to June 1, 1990, at which time the Company has insurance

coverages ranging from a $5.5 million self-insured retention with a

$10.0 million limit on the insurer's contribution in 1990, to the

current $1.0 million self-insured retention for Cranes and Marine

cases ($100,000 for Foodservice cases) and a $50.0 million limit on

the insurer's contribution.





Product liability reserves included in accounts payable and

accrued expenses at March 31, 2000 are $8.3 million; $2.8 million

reserved specifically for the 30 cases referenced above, and $5.5

million for incurred but not reported claims. These reserves were

estimated using actuarial methods. The highest current reserve for

a non-insured claim is insignificant, and $0.9 million for an

insured claim. Based on the Company's experience in defending

itself against product liability claims, management believes the

current reserves are adequate for estimated settlements on

aggregate self-insured and insured claims. Any recoveries from

insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of

claims and the solvency of insurance carriers.


It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental

remediation and product liability costs may change in the near

future based upon new information that may arise. Presently, there

is no reliable means to estimate the amount of any such potential

changes.



The Company is also involved in various other legal actions arising

in the normal course of business. After taking into consideration

legal counsel's evaluation of such actions, in the opinion of

management, ultimate resolution is not expected to have a material

adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the

Company.



Note 4. The Company holds assets for sale which include land and

improvements, buildings, and certain machinery and

equipment at the "Peninsula facility" located in

Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and land and building located in

Scotts Hill, Tennessee. The current carrying value of

these assets determined through independent appraisals is

$3.3 million and is included in other assets on the

Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2000. The

Company has reserved for the future holding costs, which

are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses,

consisting primarily of utilities, security, maintenance,

property taxes, and insurance. The Company has also

recorded reserves for potential environmental liabilities

on the Peninsula location. During the quarter ended

March 31, 2000, $0.2 million was charged against these

reserves.



Note 5. On February 17, 1999, the Company's board of directors

authorized a 3-for-2 stock split of the Company's shares

in the form of a 50% stock dividend payable April 1, 1999

to shareholders of record on March 1, 1999. As a result

of the stock split 8,652,289 shares were issued.



Note 6. The following is a reconciliation of the average shares

outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings

per share. There is no earnings impact for the assumed

conversions of the stock options in each of the quarters.

Note 7. On January 14, 2000, the Company, through a wholly-owned

subsidiary, acquired certain assets of Pioneer Holding

LLC (Pioneer), a manufacturer of hydraulic boom trucks,

from its parent company Mega Manufacturing. Pioneer

produces five models of boom trucks with varying lifting

capacities sold under the Pioneer Crane brand name.

Pioneer Cranes feature an innovative X-type outrigger

system that provides 360-degree stability and 500-degree

rotation capability without any reduction in lifting

capacity.



On February 17, 2000 the Company, through a wholly-owned

subsidiary, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of

Beverage Equipment Supply Company (BESCO), a leading wholesale

distributor of beverage dispensing equipment. BESCO has been

integrated into the Company's Manitowoc Beverage Systems (MBS)

operation. BESCO serves 14 states primarily in the Midwest, is

located in Holland, Ohio, and has a warehouse facility in Lombard,

Illionois. BESCO represents more than 50 different equipment

manufacturers with products ranging from beverage dispensing

equipment and systems to draft beer-dispensing systems.



On March 31, 2000 the Company acquired all of the issued and

outstanding shares of Multiplex Company, Inc. (Multiplex).

Multiplex is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri where its

production facility is located and has operations in Franfurt,

Germany and Surrey, England. Multiplex manufactures soft drink

and beer dispensing equipment as well as water purification systems

and supplies leading quick-service restaurants, convenience stores,

and movie theatres. In addition, Multiplex designs and builds

custom applications to meet the needs of customers with

requirements that cannot be met by conventional dispensing

equipment. Multiplex was integrated into the Company's

Ice/Beverage Group.



On April 7, 2000 the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,

acquired substantially all of the net business assets of Harford

Duracool, LLC (Harford), a leading manufacturer of walk-in

refrigerators and freezers. Harford maintains a 67,000-square-

foot manufacturing facility in Aberdeen, Maryland. The company's

primary distribution channels are foodservice equipment dealers and

commercial refrigeration distributors. Harford's products range in

size from 200 to 60,000 cubic feet. Harford also manufactures a

line of modular, temperature-controlled structures for additional

niche markets.



All of the aforementioned acquisitions have been accounted for

using the purchase method of accounting and were financed using

funds from the company's existing credit facility. The total

aggregate consideration paid for these acquistions was $59.4

million, which is net of cash acquired of $1.1 million and includes

direct acquistion costs of $0.3 million and assumed liabilities of

$8.5 million. The preliminary estimate of the aggregate excess of

cost over the fair values of the net assets acquired for these

acquisitions of $34.2 million is being amortized over a weighted

average life of 36 years. The results of these acquisitions'

operations, except for Harford, subsequent to their date of

acquisition are included in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings

for the quarter ending March 31, 2000.



Note 8. The Company determines its segments based upon the

internal organization that is used by management to make

operating decisions and assess performance. Based upon

this approach, the Company has three reportable segments:

Foodservice Equipment (Foodservice), Cranes and Related

Products (Cranes), and Marine Operations (Marine).



Information about reportable segments and a reconciliation of total

segment sales and profits to the consolidated totals for the

quarters ending March 31, 2000 and 1999 are summarized in Item 2,

"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations", to this report on Form 10-Q. As of March

31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the total assets by segment were as

============== ===============
</TABLE>


Net earnings for the first quarter increased 20% to $14.9 million,

or $.57 per diluted share, from $12.4 million, or $.47 per diluted

share, in 1999. Net sales increased nearly 10% to $202.0 million

in the first quarter of 2000, from $184.2 million for the same

period in 1999. Sales and earnings growth were driven by gains in

each of the Company's three operating segments.



Foodservice equipment sales were $92.9 million for the quarter, up

10% from the first quarter of 1999, despite an ongoing slowdown in

the soft-drink beverage equipment marketplace. Operating earnings

increased only 3.5% even with an additional $1.0 million in

manufacturing costs, most of which are non-recurring, relating to

conversions to a mixed-model/demand flow method of manufacturing at

Manitowoc Ice and Diversified Refrigeration and the installation of

a new state-of-the-art evaporator assembly and plating operationg

at Manitowoc Ice. Excluding these improvement costs, Foodservice

Equipment operating earnings grew nearly 12%.



First quarter sales for the Crane segment were $96.9 million,

compared to $89.4 million for 1999, an increase of 8%. Crane

segment operating earnings continued to outpace sales. Operating

earnings increased more than 30% over the first quarter of 1999.

Bookings are up over 20% from the fourth quarter of 1999, and the

backlog at the end of the first quarter stood at a solid $142.0

million, up from $136 million at December 31, 1999.



Marine segment sales and operating earnings for the first quarter

were $12.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, compared with

$10.5 million and $2.3 million for the same period in 1999. This

represented a sales increase of 16% and an operating earnings

increase of 3%. The Marine operations are in the final stages of

completing another successful winter repair season. Sixteen

vessels wintered at Sturgeon Bay and 25 vessels were serviced by

the operations in Toledo and Cleveland, a total representing nearly

two-thirds of the U.S.-flagged Great Lakes fleet. Compared to

previous years, the change in Marine margins is due to the shift in

scope and mix of this work.



Traditionally, the first quarter requires the greatest use of the

Company's working capital. However, as a result of the Company's

focus on capital management, cash flow from operations for the

second consecutive year was positive in the first quarter, this

year reaching $1.1 million. With the purchase of 854,000 shares of

treasury stock, coupled with the acquisitions discussed aboave, the

total funded debt increased to $179.2 million during the quarter.

This represents a debt-to-capital ratio of 45% at March 31, 2000.







Financial Condition at March 31, 2000

- -----------------------------------------------


The Company's financial condition remains strong. Cash and

marketable securities of $20.2 million and future cash flows from

operations are expected to be adequate to meet the Company's

liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including

payments on long and short-term debt, and anticipated capital

expenditures of between $15-$18 million.



This report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements based

on management's current expectations. Reference is made in

particular to the description of the Company's plans and objectives

for future operations, assumptions underlying such plans and

objectives and other forward-looking statements in this report.

Such forward-looking statements generally are identifiable by words

such as "believes," "intends," "estimates," "expects" and similar

expressions.



These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and

must be qualified by factors that could cause results to be

materially different from what is presented here. This includes

the following factors for each business segment: Foodservice

Equipment - demographic changes affecting the number of women in

the workforce, general population growth, and household income;

serving large restaurant chains as they expand their global

operations; specialty foodservice market growth; and the demand for

equipment for small kiosk-type locations. Cranes and Related

Products - market acceptance of innovative products; cyclicality

in the construction industry; growth in the world market for heavy

cranes; and demand for used equipment in developing countries.

Marine - shipping volume fluctuations based on performance of the

steel industry; five-year drydocking schedule; and reducing

seasonality through non-marine repair work.



Year 2000 Compliance

- -----------------------------

In prior years, the Company executed various initiatives to ensure

that its computer systems are capable of processing periods of the

Year 2000 and beyond. These initiatives were completed prior to

the end of 1999. In addition, the Company had developed various

contingency plans to address any unforeseen circumstances that may

have arisen. As a resulst of those planning and implementation

efforts, the Company has not experienced any signifiicant system

failures or miscalculations as a result of the Year 2000 computer

issue and believes it systems successfully responded to the Year

2000 date change. While no such disruption has developed as of the

date of this filing, Year 2000 problems may still surface

throughout calendar year 2000. The Company will continue to

monitor its critical computer applications and those of its

suppliers and vendors throughout the calendar year 2000 to ensure

that any latent Year 2000 matters that may arise are addressed

promptly.
