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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which 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 dis- closures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. /s/ Price Waterhouse South Bend, Indiana June 24, 1994 - 4 - MELROE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits Net assets available for benefits at December 31,

Description of the Plan General...The Melroe Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan"), as amended, is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Direc- tors of Clark Equipment Company (the "Company") for the benefit of eligible employees. The Plan was adopted and made effective December 1, 1991. Participation...All individuals employed by the Melroe Company, and whose terms of employment are governed by a collective bargaining agreement with Local Union No. 566 and 560 of Allied Industrial Workers of America, AFL-CIO, are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of at least one year of service as defined in the Plan. Contributions...Eligible employees electing to participate in the Plan may make monthly basic contributions of from 1% to 6% of their base pay, as defined by the Plan, and may also make supplemental monthly contributions of 1% to 10% of their base pay. Employee contributions were subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company makes monthly contributions to the Plan equivalent to 50% of the amount of the basic contributions made by participating employees. Vesting...Participants are immediately vested in 100% of all Company contributions. Participant-directed investment programs...Participating employees must elect to allocate their contributions to either (a) a fixed income fund under a group annuity contract (Fund A), (b) an equity fund which invests in equity securities (Fund B), (c) a Clark Equipment Company common stock fund (Fund C), or (d) any two or all three funds in any combination in 25% increments. There were 529 and 452 employees participating in the Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The participant-directed allocation of deposits or contributions by investment fund as of December 31 for each year is as follows: 100% to 25% or more to ********************* **************************** Funds Funds Funds Funds Fund A Fund B Fund C A & B A & C B & C A&B&C Total 1993 313 41 4 142 8 11 10 529 1992 279 36 3 118 2 6 8 452 Borrowings...The Plan allows participants the option of borrowing against their available fund balances (excluding Company-matched contributions). The principal amount of any participant loan, at origination or renewal, shall not be less than $500 and the maximum loan amount shall not exceed the lesser of 50% of the vested portion of the participant's fund balances or $50,000. The $50,000 maximum loan amount, however, is reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance of the preceding year. Participants are required to repay loans in monthly installments over the term of the loan, generally ranging from one to five years. The loan interest rate is fixed by the Harris Trust and Savings Bank prime rate, as of the loan application date, plus one percentage point. The loan rates were 6.5% and 7% at December 31, 1993 and 1992. - 7 - MELROE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements Distributions...Distributions of participant account balances occur upon termination of employment, retirement, disability or death. Participants have the option to defer the distribution of benefits. However, the participants are prohibited from making contributions during the deferral period. Federal Income Tax Status...The plan administrator was advised by the Internal Revenue Service on November 5, 1992 that the Plan as amended through November 11, 1992 constitutes a qualified plan under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and is therefore not subject to Federal Income Tax. 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. Plan Termination...Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). 2. Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Investments Investments in equity securities are stated at quoted market value. Investments in group annuity contracts are stated at contract value. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the period is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are recorded as the difference between proceeds received and cost. Cost is determined on the average cost method. Purchases of investments are recorded on the settlement date. Expenses The majority of all Plan expenses is paid by the Plan's administrator, Clark Equipment Company. A portion of the expenses associated with the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company group annuity contract, however, is paid directly by participants of the Plan in the form of reduced fixed income earnings. 3. Investment Valuation Fund A The primary asset of this fund is a group annuity contract held by The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and is carried at contract value (represented by deposits received and interest credited, reduced by funds transferred and funds disbursed to participants). Interest rates credited to the fund were 8.00% in 1993 and 8.15% in 1992. - 8 - MELROE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements Fund B The primary assets for Fund B were invested as follows: Market Cost Value Description Units Per Unit Per Unit Harris Bank Collective Investment Fund - Index Fund: 1993 400 $885.51 $949.75 1992 197 $822.79 $863.31 Fund C The primary assets of Fund C were invested as follows: Market Cost Value Description Units Per Unit Per Unit Clark Equipment Company Common Stock: 1993 28,826 $27.14 $52.38 1992 18,314 $22.56 $19.50 4. Employer and Employee Contributions Employer contributions to the Plan represent 50% of participants' basic contributions. Employer contributions are invested solely in Fund C. 5. Subsequent events Effective January 1, 1994, the investment options of the Plan were expanded. Funds A and C remain essentially unchanged, while Fund B is replaced with three funds new to the Plan. The three additional funds are the Putnam Vista Fund, the Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund, and The George Putnam Fund of Boston. Effective July 1, 1994, the Putnam Global Growth Fund will be added to the Plan. Effective January 1, 1994, employer contributions are invested in the same funds and in the proportions as the participant contributions. Starting in January, 1994, participants may transfer up to 15% per month of their December 31, 1993, investment in Fund C to other funds of the Plan. Starting in May, 1994, participants may transfer 15% of their Fund C holdings in the first half of each month and another 15% in the second half of each month. Also effective January 1, 1994, participants may allocate their accounts between the funds in 5% increments and may change these allocations on a daily basis. - 9 - MELROE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements 6. Investment in Master Trust The undesignated assets of three of the Company's separate pension plans (Clark Savings and Investment Plan, Melroe Savings and Investment Plan and Chicago Midwest Savings and Investment Plan) are included in the Clark Equipment Company Master Trust for Individual Account Plans. The Trustee maintains separate accounting of all contributions, distributions and income and expenses received by the Trust. Each pension plan has an undivided interest in the assets of the Trust. On the following pages is a summary of the master trust financial information. - 10 - MELROE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN Notes to Financial Statements (Note 6 continued) Net Assets Available for Benefits at December 31,
