THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

(Unaudited)


Note 1.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, representing normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the results of
operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, the financial position at June 30, 1996 and the changes in the
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 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, 1995.

Note 2.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
The components of inventory at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995
are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):


June 30, December 31,

--------- ---------
Total inventories $ 48,934 $ 52,928
</TABLE>

Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method for 62% and 60% of total inventory for June
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 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.

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 Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources to settle the potential liability at the Site and
fund the cleanup. Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as
having shipped substances to the Site.

Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up the Site
could be as high as $30 million, however, the ultimate remediation
methods and appropriate 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.

In connection with this matter, the Company expensed $0.2 million,
$1.6 million, $0.5 million, and $.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995, and fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992
respectively, for its estimated portion of the cleanup costs. There
were no expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

As of June 30, 1996, 35 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 and $16.0 million limit on the
insurer's contribution.

Product liability reserves at June 30, 1996 are $6.4 million; $3.1
million reserved specifically for the 37 cases referenced above, and
$3.3 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.

It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental
remediation and product liability costs may change in the near
future based upon new information which may arise.

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.

In the transition period ended December 31, 1994, resulting from
the Company's change in fiscal years, the Company's decision to
consolidate the large-crane manufacturing to a single site
resulted in a $14 million charge to earnings in the cranes and
related products segment. The charge included a $9.4 million
write-down of the facility being abandoned and estimated holding
costs of $4.6 million while the plant is being marketed. It is
reasonably possible that the estimate for future holding costs of
the facility may change in the future.

The assets currently held for sale include land and improvements,
buildings, and certain machinery and equipment at the "Peninsula
facility" located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The current carrying
value of these assets, determined through independent appraisals,
is approximately $3 million and is included in intangibles and
other. The future holding costs, included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses and in other non-current liabilities, consist
primarily of utilities, security, maintenance, property taxes,
insurance, and demolition costs for various buildings. Future
holding costs also include estimates for various environmental
studies on the Peninsula location. To date, $1.5 million has been
paid and charged against these reserves, including $.2 million and
$.9 million during the second quarter and six months ended June
30, 1996, respectively.

Note 5.

On December 1, 1995, the Company completed the purchase of the
outstanding common stock of The Shannon Group, Inc. ("Shannon").
Shannon is a manufacturer of commercial refrigerators, freezers
and related products, ranging from small under-counter units to
300,000 square foot refrigerated warehouses. Among its wide range
of products, Shannon is best known for its foamed-in-place walk-in
refrigeration units, wood rail walk-in units, refrigerated food-prep
tables, reach-in refrigerator/freezers and modular refrigeration
systems.

The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for Shannon was
$127.0 million, which is net of cash acquired of $.7 million, and
which includes an amount due to a seller of $19.8 million which
was paid in January, 1996, direct acquisition costs of $2.7
million, and other assumed liabilities of $1.3 million. The
transaction was financed through credit facilities provided under
a Credit Agreement dated December 1, 1995.

The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting. The cost of the acquisition has been allocated on the
basis of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. The preliminary estimate of the excess of
the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is $88.3
million, and is being amortized over 32 years. The results of
operations since the date of acquisition are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings.


Note 6.
On June 14, 1996, the company announced a three-for-two stock
split in the form of a 50-percent stock dividend which was
effective July 2 to shareholders of record on June 25. Adjusting
for the split, the company now has 11.5 million shares
outstanding. As a result of the stock split, all earnings and
dividend per share amounts and average shares outstanding,
appearing herein, have been retroactively adjusted to give effect
of the stock split.

Note 7.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial
statements of prior years to conform to the presentation for 1996.

Total $ 17,052 $ 9,105 $ 26,256 $ 12,124
</TABLE>

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, were $139.2 million, up 69
percent compared with the second quarter of 1995. Operating earnings nearly
doubled to $17.1 million, while net earnings grew to $8.8 million, or 76 cents
per share, a 63 percent increase from the $5.4 million, and 47 cents per share,
earned in the second quarter of 1995.

For the first six months of 1996, net sales totaled $253.3 million, up 67
percent from $151.4 million in the first half of last year. Net earnings rose
80 percent from those of the first six months in 1995. Net earnings for the
1996 period were $12.9 million, equal to $1.12 per share, compared with $7.2
million, and 62 cents per share, for 1995. The improvements continue to be
sparked by strong sales and a sharp turnaround in operating earnings by the
crane segment.

Sales and operating earnings for the foodservice products segment were $67.5
million and $11.3 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 1996,
compared to $30.6 million and $7.3 million for 1995. The gain in sales was due
largely to the addition of refrigeration equipment sales by the Kolpak, Tonka
and McCall units. Comparable ice machine and reach-in sales by Manitowoc
Equipment Works (MEW) were 11% higher than those of the second quarter in 1995.
Year to date sales and earnings were $120.1 million and $18.3 million,
respectively.

Cranes and related products sales for the second quarter increased 40% over the
same period last year. Operating earnings were $4.9 million and $8.4 million
for the second quarter and first six months of 1996, respectively, compared to
losses of $.3 million and $1.9 million for the same periods last year. Manitex
continues to see improved earnings and West-Manitowoc contributed its first
profitable quarter. Orders for cranes and related products continue to be
strong from both domestic and international sources. As of June 30, 1996, the
backlog of unfilled orders stood at $91.3 million, despite an increased level
of shipments.

Second quarter sales in the Marine segment rose to $19.3 million, a 35%
increase over the $14.3 million recorded during the second quarter last year.
The increase was due to a busy winter repair season and the ongoing
construction of a new self-unloading cement barge. Earnings for the quarter
stood at $3.6 million compared earnings of $3.7 million during the same period
last year. Marine operating margin was down slightly, due to a shift in repair
and service mix.

Management expects continued gains in the second half of 1996. However, the
level of improvement will probably not equal that of the first half, due to the
lower level of profitability expected in the fourth quarter. Last year's
fourth quarter included shipment of an M-1200 RINGER that added significantly
to the crane segment's sales and operating margin.

The company continues to generate strong positive cash flow. At the end of the
quarter, the company had no borrowings under its revolving credit lines.
Indebtedness under the six-year term loan facility stood at $121 million,
including the current portion. During the quarter, the total indebtedness
decreased by $24 million.

Financial Condition at June 30, 1996
- --------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong. Cash and marketable
securities of $20 million and future cash flows from operations are adequate to
meet the Company's liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including
payments for long-term debt, costs associated with the plant consolidation, and
capital expenditures.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis, as well as certain other parts of
this Report on Form 10-Q, contain forward looking statements that involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on management's
current expectations. The company cautions that such statements are further
qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward looking statements.
