THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999





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 quarters and

six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the financial

position at June 30, 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 the financial statements and the notes

thereto included in the company's latest annual report.



All dollar amounts are in thousands throughout these notes except

where otherwise indicated.



Note 2. The components of inventory at June 30, 2000 and December

31, 1999 are summarized as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


June 30, December 31,

2000 1999

<S> <C> <C>
Components:

Raw materials $ 38,390 $ 39,134

Excess of FIFO costs

over LIFO value (22,399) (20,267)

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

Total inventories $ 98,306 $ 91,437

</TABLE>

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

first-out (FIFO) method for 51% and 57% of total inventory at June

30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The remainder of the

inventory is costed using 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, including the company, 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 are 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. The expenses incurred during the second quarter and first

six months of



2000 and 1999 in connection with this matter were not material.

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 June 30, 2000, is $1.1

million.



As of June 30, 2000, 31 product-related lawsuits (other than

lawsuits which were fully insured with no self-insured retention and

lawsuits relating to breaking contract) were pending. All of these

alleged accidents occurred during years in which the company had

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 and

$50.0 million limit on the insurer's contribution.



Product liability reserves included in accounts payable and accrued

expenses at June 30, 2000 are $8.3 million; $2.7 million reserved

specifically for the 31 cases referenced above, and $5.6 million for

incurred but not reported claims. These reserves were estimated

using actuarial methods. 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 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.





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 approximately $3.3 million and is included in other

assets at June 30, 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. For the second quarter and first six months of

2000, approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million were

charged against the reserve, respectively.



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-percent stock dividend payable on

April 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on March 1, 1999.

As a result of the stock split, 8,652,289 shares were

issued.



In October, 1999, the board of directors authorized the purchase of

up to 1.5 million shares of the company's common stock. In March,

2000, the board of directors increased the number of shares of

common stock that the company is authorized to repurchase by 1.0

million shares. During the first six months of 2000, the company

repurchased 1.5 million shares at an aggregate cost of $41.5 million

pursuant to this authorization.



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

outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per

share.

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

subsidiary, acquired certain assets of Pioneer Holdings

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 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, Illinois. 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 Harford'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 other 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 acquisitions was $56.9 million, which

is net of cash acquired of $3.5 million and includes direct

acquisition costs of $0.3 million and assumed liabilities of $9.5

million. The preliminary estimate of the aggregate excess of cost

over the fair values of the net assets acquired for these

acquisitions of $35.6 million is being amortized over a weighted

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

operations subsequent to their date of acquisition are included in

the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the quarter and six

months ending June 30, 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 and first six months ending June 30, 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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the total

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2000 increased 7.7 percent to

$22.6 million, or $.91 per diluted share, from $21.0 million, or

$.80 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 1999. Net sales

increased 5.7% to $239.3 million in the second quarter of 2000, from

$226.3 million for the same period in 1999. Sales and earnings

growth was driven by gains in the foodservice and crane segments.



For the first six months of 2000, net earnings increased 12.3

percent to $37.5 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, from $33.4

million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the first six months of

1999. Net sales increased 7.5% to $441.3 million in the first six

months of 2000 from $410.5 million for the same period in 1999.



Foodservice posted considerable gains despite softer demand for

equipment serving the beverage industry. Sales for the Foodservice

segment were $122.0 million for the quarter, up 10.3% from the first

quarter of 1999. Excluding sales to the soft-drink market,

Foodservice sales were up 15.6% over the same period last year.

Operating earnings increased 5.7% to $22.3 million, from $21.1

million in 1999. The Foodservice segment's operating margin of

18.3% compares to 19.1% for the second quarter last year. The

decrease is largely due to the impact of the acquisitions made

during the first six months of 2000. (See Note 7 to the

Consolidated Financial Statements.) Excluding these acquisitions,

the operating margin would have been 19.9%. For the first six months

of 2000 sales and operating earnings increased 10% and 5%,

respectively.



Cranes and related products sales for the second quarter were $98.5

million, up from $98.1 million for the second quarter of 1999.

Operating earnings were $20.1 million, a 16.2% gain over the second

quarter of 1999. The crane segment has continued to grow sales with

new product introductions. During the second quarter, Manitowoc

Cranes introduced the new 275-ton capacity Model 999. The company

has already secured orders for 68 Model 999s, making it the most

successful new-product introduction in the company's history. In

addition, higher demand for the medium- and larger-capacity boom

trucks was sparked by recent product innovations including a new

124-foot boom option, while the segment has noted some industry-wide

softening in demand for lower capacity lift cranes. For the first

six months of 2000, Cranes' sales were $195.4 million, compared to

$187.6 million for the first six months of 1999. Operating earnings

increased 22.4%, to $37.5 million, from $30.6 million for the same

period in 1999. The crane backlog at the end of the second quarter

stood at $141 million.



Marine segment sales and operating earnings for the second quarter

were $18.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively, compared with

$17.6 million and $2.9 million for the same period in 1999. The

shift in margins is due to the change in scope and mix of project

and repair work. Bookings for marine projects and vessel repairs

remain very strong and the company already has several commitments

for next winter's lay-up season. The company has completed several

unexpected emergency and casualty repairs during the second quarter

and we are nearing completion of a cutterhead dredge for Lake

Michigan Contractors, which is planned to launch at the Sturgeon Bay

shipyard in August. For the first six months of 2000, sales and

operating earnings for this segment were $31.0 million and $5.2

million, respectively, compared with $28.1 million and $5.2 million

for 1999.



Cash flow from operations for the first six months of 2000 was $25.0

million, which was below last year's level primarily as a result of

accounts receivable increases. Total funded debt increased to

$188.0 million at the end of the quarter, representing a debt-to-

capital ratio of 46% at June 30. Manitowoc also completed the

repurchase of 1.5-million share stock program during the quarter at

an average cost of $27.67 per share.



The effective tax rate remains unchanged at 37.5 percent.







Financial Condition at June 30, 2000

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



The company's financial condition remains strong. Cash and

marketable securities of $12.4 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 for long-term debt, line of credit, 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: 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; demand for

used equipment in developing countries. Marine - shipping volume

fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; five-year

drydocking schedule; 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 result of those planning and implementation

efforts, the company has not experienced any significant 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 year to ensure that any latent Year 2000

matters that may arise are addressed promptly.
