NMHG HOLDING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2005
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Percentage Data)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NMHG Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“NMHG” or the “Company”). NMHG Holding is a wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. (“NACCO”). The Company’s subsidiaries operate in the lift truck industry.

NMHG designs, engineers, manufactures, sells, services and leases a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally under the Hyster^â and Yale^â brand names. The Company manages its operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing (“NMHG Wholesale”) and retail distribution (“NMHG Retail”). NMHG Wholesale includes the manufacture and sale of lift trucks and related service parts, primarily to independent and wholly owned Hyster^â and Yale^â retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Scotland, The Netherlands, China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines and Brazil. NMHG Retail includes the sale, leasing and service of Hyster^® and Yale^® lift trucks and related service parts by wholly owned retail dealerships and rental companies.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the consolidated companies are eliminated in consolidation.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards

EITF No. 05—6: In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF No. 05—6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements.” EITF No. 05—6 requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or purchased subsequent to the inception of a lease be amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes renewals that are reasonably assured at the date of the business combination or purchase. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF No. 05—6 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 154: In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” SFAS No. 154 replaces Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. APB No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

FIN No. 47: In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, which clarifies that the term, conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. However, the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and (or) method of settlement. FIN No. 47 requires that the uncertainty about the timing and (or) method

of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN No. 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN No. 47 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 — Restructuring

2002 Restructuring Program

As announced in December 2002, NMHG Wholesale has phased out its Lenoir, North Carolina lift truck component facility and is restructuring other manufacturing and administrative operations, primarily its Irvine, Scotland lift truck assembly and component facility. As such, NMHG Wholesale recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $12.5 million in 2002. Of this amount, $3.8 million related to a non-cash asset impairment charge for a building, machinery and tooling, which was determined based on current market values for similar assets and broker quotes compared with the net book value of these assets; and $8.7 million related to severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 615 manufacturing and administrative employees. Payments of $0.7 million were made to approximately 45 employees during the first six months of 2005. Payments are expected to continue through 2006. The final $0.1 million for post-employment medical benefits was paid during the first six months of 2005 and is included in the table above under “Other.” During the first six months of 2005, $0.5 million of the accrual for severance was reversed as actual payments are expected to be less than originally estimated.

Additional restructuring related costs, primarily related to manufacturing inefficiencies, which were not eligible for accrual as of December 31, 2002, were $2.0 million and $4.8 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Of the $2.0 million additional costs incurred during the first six months of 2005, $1.9 million is classified as Cost of sales and $0.1 million is classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Of the $4.8 million additional costs incurred during the first six months of 2004, $4.3 million is classified as Cost of sales and $0.5 million is classified as Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

2001 Restructuring Program

NMHG Retail recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $4.7 million in 2001, of which $0.4 million related to lease termination costs and $4.3 million related to severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 140 service technicians, salesmen and administrative personnel at wholly owned dealers in Europe. Final severance payments were made during 2004. Lease payments of $0.1 million were made during the first six months of 2005.

The following is a rollforward of the restructuring liability:


				Lease

Note 4 — Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:


	JUNE 30			DECEMBER 31
	2005			2004

Manufactured inventories:
Finished goods and service parts	$	171.7		$	146.0
Raw materials and work in process		194.9			174.2


Total manufactured inventories		366.6			320.2

Retail inventories:		32.5			29.9

Total inventories at FIFO		399.1			350.1

LIFO reserve		(39.2	)		(30.5	)

	$	359.9		$	319.6

The cost of certain manufactured and retail inventories has been determined using the LIFO method. At both June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 62% of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at year-end, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Note 5 — Equity Investments

NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a joint venture with GE Capital Corporation (“GECC”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent and wholly owned Hyster and Yale lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

NMHG has a 50% ownership interest in Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Company, Ltd. (“SN”), a limited liability company which was formed primarily for the manufacture and distribution of Sumitomo-Yale branded lift trucks in Japan and the export of Hyster^â and Yale^â branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. NMHG purchases products from SN under normal trade terms. NMHG’s ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in NFS and SN are reported on the line Income from unconsolidated affiliates in the Other income (expense) section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Summarized financial information for these equity investments is as follows:


	THREE MONTHS ENDED				SIX MONTHS ENDED
	JUNE 30				JUNE 30
	2005		2004		2005		2004

Revenues	$	85.6	$	73.0	$	164.3	$	143.1
Gross Profit	$	26.1	$	25.3	$	51.6	$	48.9
Income from continuing operations	$	5.4	$	6.4	$	10.7	$	10.2
Net income	$	5.4	$	6.4	$	10.7	$	10.2

Note 6 — Guarantees and Contingencies

Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independently owned retail dealerships, NMHG provides guarantees of the residual values of lift trucks, or recourse or repurchase obligations such that NMHG would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which NMHG is providing a guarantee generally range from one to five years. Total guarantees and amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $204.5 million and $203.7 million, respectively. Losses anticipated under the terms of the guarantees, recourse or repurchase obligations are not significant and have been reserved for in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Generally, NMHG retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event that NMHG would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, NMHG would take title to the assets financed. The fair value of collateral held at June 30, 2005 was approximately $253.5 million, based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks. In 2005, two dealers for which NMHG provided a guarantee or standby recourse or repurchase obligations defaulted under their obligations to NFS. NMHG believes that amounts currently reserved related to these guarantees are adequate and the net losses resulting from the customers’ defaults did not have a material impact on NMHG’s results of operations.

NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NFS, a joint venture with GECC, formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to Hyster^â and Yale^â lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Generally, NMHG sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with NFS or other unrelated third-parties. NFS provides debt financing to dealers and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of the customer or concentration issues within GECC necessitates NMHG providing standby recourse or repurchase obligations or a guarantee of the residual value of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through NFS. At June 30, 2005, $166.5 million of the $204.5 million of guarantees discussed above related to transactions with NFS. In addition, in connection with the current joint venture agreement, NMHG also provides a guarantee to GECC for 20% of NFS’ debt with GECC, such that NMHG would become liable under the terms of NFS’ debt agreements with GECC in the case of default by NFS. At June 30, 2005, the amount of NFS’ debt guaranteed by NMHG was $126.4 million. NFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past and although there can be no assurances, NMHG is not aware of any circumstances that would cause NFS to default in future periods.

NMHG provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For the new 1 to 8 ton trucks, NMHG provides an extended powertrain warranty of two years or 2,000 hours as part of the standard warranty. In addition, NMHG sells extended warranty agreements, which provide additional warranty up to three to five years or up to 3,600 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which NMHG does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs are incurred to perform under the warranty contracts, in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts.” Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim. The Company also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims to be processed and the cost of processing those claims. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

Changes in the Company’s current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts are as follows:


	2005
Balance at the beginning of the year	$	40.5
Warranties issued		17.8
Settlements made		(17.0	)
Foreign currency effect		(0.3	)


Balance at June 30	$	41.0

Note 7 — Income Taxes

The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes, and is based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter’s year-to-date pre-tax income. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company’s ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates, certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax rate.

A reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated federal statutory and effective income tax is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30:


	THREE MONTHS						SIX MONTHS
	2005			2004			2005			2004

Income before income taxes and minority interest:	$	9.9		$	0.2		$	10.2		$	0.5


Statutory taxes (benefit) at 35%	$	3.5		$	0.1		$	3.6		$	0.2

Discrete items:
NMHG Wholesale settlements		(1.9	)		(1.5	)		(1.9	)		(1.5	)
NMHG Wholesale change in tax law		1.6			—			1.6			—
NMHG Retail settlements		—			(0.8	)		—			(0.8	)
Other permanent items		(0.8	)		—			(0.8	)		—


Income tax provision (benefit)	$	2.4		$	(2.2	)	$	2.5		$	(2.1	)


Effective income tax rate		24.2	%		(a	)		24.5	%		(a	)


(a)		The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is not meaningful.

NMHG Wholesale: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, NMHG Wholesale’s effective income tax rate was affected by the settlement of income tax audits and transfer pricing disputes with various taxing authorities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, these benefits were offset by the elimination of deferred tax assets which NMHG Wholesale will not be able to recognize due to state income tax law changes enacted in Ohio.

NMHG Retail: During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, Retail’s effective income tax rate was affected by the settlement of a foreign income tax claim in Asia-Pacific.

Excluding the impact of the discrete items discussed above, the effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are comparable to the effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

As noted in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Jobs Act”) was enacted on October 22, 2004. The financial results of the Company do not reflect the impact of the repatriation provisions included in the Jobs Act. The Company’s best estimate of the range of possible amounts that may be repatriated subject to the Dividend Exclusion provisions of the Jobs Act is $0 to $90.0 million upon which the estimated range of tax expense would be $0 to $3.3 million under the current guidance. The Company expects to complete its evaluation related to the possible repatriation of foreign earnings during the second half of 2005.

Note 8 — Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks, investment contracts and government and corporate bonds.

In 1996, pension benefits were frozen for employees covered under NMHG’s U.S. plans, except for those employees participating in collective bargaining agreements. As a result, in the United States only certain

NMHG employees covered under collective bargaining agreements will earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. Other employees, including those whose pension benefits were frozen, will receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that it expected to contribute approximately $4.1 million and $5.6 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2005. The Company revised these expectations during 2005 and now anticipates contributing approximately $3.9 million and $3.8 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company contributed $1.7 million to its U.S. pension plans and $1.8 million to its non-U.S. pension plans.

The Company also maintains health care and life insurance plans which provide benefits to eligible retired employees. The plans have no assets. Under the Company’s current policy, plan benefits are funded at the time they are due to participants.

The Company adopted FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. FAS 106-1 and FAS 106-2 both titled “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” at its September 30, 2004 measurement date. The adoption of FSP Nos. FAS 106-1 and FAS 106-2 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The components of pension and post-retirement (income) expense are set forth below:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, NMHG Wholesale’s effective income tax rate was affected by the settlement of income tax audits and transfer pricing disputes with various taxing authorities. These benefits were offset by the elimination of deferred tax assets which NMHG Wholesale will not be able to recognize due to state income tax law changes enacted in Ohio during the second quarter of 2005.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 includes the impact of a shift in the mix of earnings subject to valuation allowances. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the effective income tax rate for NMHG Retail was favorably affected by the benefit of a settlement of a foreign income tax claim in Asia-Pacific.

Second Quarter of 2005 Compared with Second Quarter of 2004

NMHG Wholesale

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the second quarter of 2005 compared with the second quarter of 2004:


	Revenues

2004	$	445.5

Increase in 2005 from:
Unit volume		64.0
Unit product mix		25.9
Unit price		22.7
Foreign currency		9.1
Parts		7.4


2005	$	574.6

Revenues increased $129.1 million, or 29.0%, to $574.6 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily due to improved unit volume. Worldwide unit shipments increased 17.2% to 21,997 units in the second quarter of 2005 from 18,772 units in 2004, primarily due to a 2,228 increase in unit shipments in the Americas. In addition to improved unit volume, revenues also increased due to favorable product mix as a result of a shift in sales to higher-priced lift trucks and price increases, primarily in the Americas. Starting in 2004, NMHG implemented price increases to help offset increased material costs, primarily due to higher commodity costs for steel. Also contributing to the increase in revenues was the favorable impact of the translation of sales in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars and an increase in sales of parts.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating profit for the second quarter of 2005 compared with the second quarter of 2004:


	Operating
	Profit

2004	$	8.4

NACCO fees		(2.3	)

		6.1

Increase (decrease) in 2005 from:
Gross profit		20.5
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(7.1	)
Foreign currency		(2.4	)


2005	$	17.1

NMHG Wholesale’s operating profit increased to $17.1 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. Gross profit increased primarily due to price increases of $22.7 million, increased volume and a favorable shift in mix to higher-margin lift trucks in the Americas and Europe. Price increases were implemented during the second half of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 to offset increased material costs, mainly higher commodity costs for steel. Increased material costs of $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 partially offset the favorable impact of price increases and continued to unfavorably affect gross profit. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to reduce operating profit primarily due to higher marketing expenses for NMHG’s new series of 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks and higher employee-related expenses. Operating profit was also affected by unfavorable currency movements primarily due to the sourcing of trucks and components for the U.S. market from countries with appreciated currencies and the reinstatement of the management fee paid to NACCO in the second quarter of 2005. The management fee was temporarily suspended in the second quarter of 2004 in support of NMHG’s investment in new product development and related programs.

Net income increased $4.5 million to $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2004 as a result of the increase in operating profit, partially offset by increased interest expense due to an increase in affiliate debt and an increase in the provision for income taxes as previously discussed.

Backlog

The worldwide backlog level was 23,900 units at June 30, 2005 compared with 24,700 units at June 30, 2004 and 27,500 units at March 31, 2005. The decrease in backlog was primarily due to increased shipments and actions taken to ensure that bookings remain in line with available capacity as NMHG completes its plant restructuring programs and the rearrangement of its production lines for the introduction of the new 1 to 8 ton lift trucks.

NMHG Retail (net of eliminations)

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the second quarter of 2005 compared with the second quarter of 2004:


	Revenues

2004	$	50.2

Increase (decrease) in 2005 from:
Sale of German dealership		(1.5	)
Europe		0.5
Asia-Pacific		1.7
Foreign currency		3.4
Eliminations		(10.8	)


2005	$	43.5

Revenues decreased 13.3% to $43.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared with $50.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in eliminations as a result of an increase in intercompany sales between NMHG Wholesale and NMHG Retail. The January 2005 sale of NMHG Retail’s last wholly owned German dealership also caused a reduction in revenues in the second quarter of 2005. These decreases were partially offset by higher unit sales and favorable foreign currency movements in both Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating loss for the second quarter of 2005 compared with the second quarter of 2004:


	Operating
	Loss
2004	$	(1.2	)

Decrease (increase) in 2005 from:
Sale of French dealership		1.8
Europe		0.3
Asia-Pacific		(0.9	)
Foreign currency		0.1
Eliminations		(0.1	)

2005	$	—

NMHG Retail’s operating loss decreased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the gain on the sale of a dealership in France in June 2005, partially offset by unfavorable margins on new units and increased employee-related costs in Asia-Pacific. NMHG expects to continue to sell lift trucks and service parts to the new independent owner of the French dealership.

NMHG Retail’s net loss decreased $0.5 million to $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2004 due to the factors affecting operating loss and a decrease in interest expense as a result of a decrease in intercompany debt. These decreases in net loss were offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes due to the absence of a $0.8 million favorable tax settlement recognized in 2004 as previously discussed.

First Six Months of 2005 Compared with First Six Months of 2004

NMHG Wholesale

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004:


	Revenues

2004	$	866.8

Increase in 2005 from:
Unit volume		109.0
Unit product mix		68.0
Unit price		34.3
Foreign currency		18.2
Parts		14.5


2005	$	1,110.8

Revenues increased $244.0 million, or 28.1%, to $1,110.8 million in the first six months of 2005, primarily due to improved unit volume and unit product mix, mainly in the Americas. Worldwide unit shipments increased 15.1% to 41,906 units in the first six months of 2005 from 36,396 units in 2004, primarily due to a 4,312 increase in unit shipments in the Americas. The increase in product mix was primarily a result of a shift in sales to higher-priced lift trucks in all markets. Also contributing to the increase in revenues were price increases in all markets and the favorable impact of the translation of sales in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars, primarily in Europe, and an increase in sales of parts.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating profit for the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004:


	Operating
	Profit

2004	$	18.1

NACCO fees		(4.6	)

Increase (decrease) in 2005 from:
Gross profit		31.1
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(11.2	)
Foreign currency		(7.4	)


2005	$	26.0

NMHG Wholesale’s operating profit increased 43.6% to $26.0 million in the first six months of 2005 compared with $18.1 million in the first six months of 2004. Gross profit increased primarily due to price increases, increased volume and a favorable shift in mix to higher-margin lift trucks in the Americas and Europe. The benefit of the price increases was offset by increased material costs, particularly steel. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher engineering and marketing expenses for NMHG’s new series of 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks, an increase in employee-related expenses and an increase in bad debt expense. Operating profit was also affected by unfavorable currency movements primarily due to the sourcing of trucks and components for the U.S. market from countries with appreciated currencies and the reinstatement of the management fee paid to NACCO in the first six months of 2005. The management fee was temporarily suspended in the first six months of 2004 in support of NMHG’s investment in new product development and related programs.

Net income increased $4.8 million to $11.7 million in the first six months of 2005 compared with $6.9 million in the first six months of 2004 as a result of the items affecting operating profit, an increase in Income from unconsolidated affiliates mainly due to improved earnings of Sumitomo-NACCO Materials Handling Group, Ltd. (“SN”), a 50%-owned joint venture in Japan accounted for under the equity method and an increase in interest income as a result of additional funds available to invest. These increases in net income were partially offset by

an increase in income taxes as previously discussed and an increase in interest expense due to an increase in affiliate debt.

NMHG Retail (net of eliminations)

The following table identifies the components of the changes in revenues for the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004:


	Revenues

2004	$	99.7

Increase (decrease) in 2005 from:
Sale of German dealership		(2.4	)
Europe		(0.4	)
Asia-Pacific		1.7
Foreign currency		6.2
Eliminations		(13.6	)


2005	$	91.2

Revenues decreased 8.5% to $91.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with $99.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in eliminations as a result of an increase in intercompany sales between NMHG Wholesale and NMHG Retail. The decrease in revenues was also due to the sale of NMHG Retail’s last wholly owned German dealership in January 2005 and lower revenues from used unit sales and rentals in Europe. The negative impact of the increase in eliminations and decrease in revenues in Europe was partially offset by the favorable impact of translating sales in foreign currencies to U.S. dollars as a result of the weaker U.S. dollar in the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004. In Asia-Pacific, increases in unit sales and service revenues were partially offset by lower rental revenues.

The following table identifies the components of the changes in operating loss for the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004:


	Operating
	Loss

2004	$	(2.6	)

Decrease (increase) in 2005 from:
Sale of French dealership		1.8
Europe		0.1
Asia-Pacific		(2.1	)


2005	$	(2.8	)

NMHG Retail’s operating loss increased $0.2 million to $2.8 million in the first six months of 2005. The increase was primarily due to increased costs resulting in reduced margins on new trucks and increased employee-related costs in Asia-Pacific. The increased operating loss in Asia-Pacific was partially offset by the gain on the sale of a retail dealership in France in June 2005. NMHG expects to continue to sell lift trucks and service parts to the new independent owner of this dealership.

NMHG Retail’s net loss was $3.9 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004. A $1.6 million decrease in interest expense in the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004 as a result of a decrease in intercompany debt was offset by an increase in the loss on foreign currency and an increase in the provision for income taxes. The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the absence of a $0.8 million favorable tax settlement recognized in 2004 as previously discussed.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following tables detail the changes in cash flow for the six months ended June 30:


	2005			2004			Change

Operating activities:

Net income	$	7.8		$	3.0		$	4.8
Depreciation and amortization		20.9			21.3			(0.4	)
Other		(1.6	)		3.8			(5.4	)
Working capital changes, net of dispositions of businesses

Accounts receivable		(25.3	)		3.6			(28.9	)

Accounts payable and other liabilities		3.2			19.4			(16.2	)
Other		(0.5	)		(1.2	)		0.7


Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities		(48.5	)		11.9			(60.4	)

Investing activities:

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment		(18.0	)		(18.2	)		0.2
Proceeds from the sale of assets		4.3			4.8			(0.5	)
Proceeds from the sale of businesses		3.9			—			3.9


Net cash used for investing activities		(9.8	)		(13.4	)		3.6


Cash flow before financing activities	$	(58.3	)	$	(1.5	)	$	(56.8	)

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities decreased $60.4 million primarily due to the unfavorable impact of working capital changes which was negatively affected by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventories. The changes in accounts payable and accounts receivable were primarily due to timing differences of payments and receipts, as well as an increase in revenue. The increase in inventories was primarily due to the building of inventory in anticipation of the rearrangement of production lines later in 2005 as NMHG shifts to the production of new products.

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $3.6 million primarily due to cash received from the sale of two Retail dealerships in Europe during the first six months of 2005.


	2005			2004			Change

Financing activities:

Net reduction of long-term debt and revolving credit agreements	$	(5.0	)	$	(13.7	)	$	8.7
Intercompany loans		39.0			—			39.0
Financing fees paid		—			(0.6	)		0.6


Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities	$	34.0		$	(14.3	)	$	48.3

The change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities in the first six months of 2005 compared with the first six months of 2004 was primarily due to an increase in debt levels to support the build-up of inventory and working capital requirements in anticipation of the launch of the new 1 to 8 ton product line.

Financing Activities

NMHG has a $135.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “NMHG Facility”) that expires in May 2007. The maximum availability under the NMHG Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against the inventory and accounts receivable of the borrowers, as defined in the NMHG Facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the NMHG Facility. At June 30, 2005, the borrowing base under the NMHG Facility was $92.5 million, which reflects reductions for the commitments or

availability under certain foreign credit facilities and for an excess availability requirement of $10.0 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the NMHG Facility at June 30, 2005.

During 2002, NMHG issued $250.0 million of 10% unsecured Senior Notes that mature on May 15, 2009. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of NMHG Holding Co. and are guaranteed by substantially all of NMHG’s domestic subsidiaries. NMHG Holding Co. has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes on or after May 15, 2006 at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture governing the Senior Notes. The proceeds from the Senior Notes were reduced by an original issue discount of $3.1 million.

In addition to the amount outstanding under the Senior Notes, NMHG had borrowings of approximately $24.6 million at June 30, 2005 under various working capital facilities.

Both the NMHG Facility and terms of the Senior Notes include restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to NACCO. The NMHG Facility also requires NMHG to meet certain financial tests, including, but not limited to, minimum excess availability, maximum capital expenditures, maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tests. At June 30, 2005, NMHG was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

NMHG believes that funds available under the NMHG Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of NMHG’s revolving credit facility in May 2007.

Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 that NMHG expected to contribute approximately $5.6 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2005. NMHG now expects to contribute approximately $3.8 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2005.

Since December 31, 2004, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of NMHG’s contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Capital Expenditures

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $15.5 million for NMHG Wholesale and $2.5 million for NMHG Retail during the first six months of 2005. These capital expenditures included tooling for new products, plant improvements, machinery, equipment and lease and rental fleet. Capital expenditures are estimated to be an additional $30.9 million for NMHG Wholesale and $1.2 million for NMHG Retail for the remainder of 2005. Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2005 include tooling related to the ongoing launch of the new 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks, investments in manufacturing equipment, plant improvements and rental fleet additions. The principal sources of financing for these capital expenditures will be internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

Capital Structure

NMHG’s capital structure is presented below:


	June 30			December 31
	2005			2004			Change

Total net tangible assets	$	402.9		$	382.6		$	20.3
Goodwill and other intangibles		352.0			354.8			(2.8	)

Net assets		754.9			737.4			17.5
Advances from NACCO		(39.0	)		—			(39.0	)
Other debt		(283.2	)		(290.5	)		7.3
Minority interest		—			(0.1	)		0.1


Stockholder’s equity	$	432.7		$	446.8		$	(14.1	)


Debt to total capitalization		43	%		39	%		4	%

The increase in total net tangible assets was primarily due to a $40.3 million increase in inventory partially offset by a $16.1 million decrease in property, plant and equipment. The increase in inventory was primarily due to the build-up of inventory in anticipation of the launch of the new 1 to 8 ton product line while the decrease in property, plant, and equipment was primarily due to a decrease in rental equipment.

Debt, including advances from NACCO, increased $31.7 million primarily as a result of the increase in inventory.

Stockholder’s equity decreased $14.1 million in the first six months of 2005 as a result of a $21.9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) offset by $7.8 million of net income in the first six months of 2005. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was due to a $19.4 million reduction in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment and a $2.5 million loss on deferred cash flow hedges.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NACCO typically charges its operating subsidiaries for services provided by its corporate headquarters. NACCO charged fees of $2.3 million and $4.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, which were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. No such fees were charged to NMHG in the first six months of 2004.

EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY

NMHG operates internationally and enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency on operating results are discussed above. The Company maintains a foreign exchange hedging program designed to moderate the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations over the near term.

OUTLOOK

NMHG Wholesale

Global lift truck markets continued to grow in the second quarter of 2005. NMHG Wholesale is hopeful that these increased levels will be sustained and will continue to improve going forward. NMHG Wholesale expects stronger lift truck markets in the second half of 2005 in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, resulting in increased volumes in the last half of 2005 in comparison with 2004 levels, and relatively flat lift truck markets in Europe compared with prior periods. NMHG Wholesale anticipates that its unit shipment levels for the last half of 2005 compared with the last half of 2004 will continue to increase at controlled rates to accommodate the phase in of newly designed products.

Despite the stronger lift truck markets, NMHG Wholesale expects the remainder of 2005 to be challenging. Results in the third quarter are historically lower than the second quarter as a result of summer vacation plant shutdowns. In addition, pricing challenges will continue as NMHG Wholesale works to continue to moderate the effect of increases in material costs, which are largely related to supplier price increases for steel. Price increases implemented by NMHG Wholesale during 2004 and in early 2005 are expected to continue to offset the effect of anticipated increased material costs in the second half of 2005, although NMHG Wholesale does not anticipate full recovery of the accumulated cost increases incurred since the beginning of 2004 by the end of 2005. Further, NMHG Wholesale continues to monitor changes in material costs, which appear to have begun to trend down from the peak levels at the end of 2004, and to evaluate the need and potential for future price increases in the context of managing backlog levels. In addition, although the dollar strengthened during the past quarter, past currency movements are expected to continue to affect current operations. As a result, NMHG Wholesale continues to work actively to change the sourcing of components from British pound sterling and euro areas to U.S. dollar and low cost areas on the assumption that currencies are likely to stay at levels that are not advantageous to NMHG Wholesale.

NMHG Wholesale is currently completing several significant initiatives that will benefit NMHG Wholesale long-term but are expected to increase costs and inefficiencies in the near-term, especially in the second half of 2005. These additional programs relate to NMHG Wholesale’s new product development and manufacturing restructuring activities. NMHG Wholesale introduced the first of the new 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift trucks in the first quarter of 2005, with the expected introduction of all of these products by the first quarter of 2007. As a result of these ongoing initiatives, product development and product introduction costs are expected to continue at current high levels throughout the second half of 2005, as the introduction of the new lift trucks continues on schedule with the launches of the 2 to 3 ton pneumatic lift truck and the 1 to 2 ton cushion and pneumatic lift trucks in the third quarter of 2005. At the same time, the associated costs attributable to start-up inefficiencies and the ongoing manufacturing restructuring programs are expected to continue as some production moves to different facilities. The introduction of these new products will continue to put pressure on earnings in the third quarter of 2005. This pressure should be significantly alleviated by the end of 2005 as assembly lines move into full production of this first wave of new products. NMHG Wholesale expects to complete the majority of the rearrangement of the layout of its assembly lines in the Americas in the third quarter of 2005 resulting in a reduction in manufacturing costs and an improvement in productivity in 2006.

While the introduction of additional 1 to 8 ton products, as well as certain other programs, including the final changes in European production locations, are expected to continue to affect operating results unfavorably in 2006, the benefits from the increasing effect of pricing, other programs and expense reduction efforts already

implemented are expected to provide significant benefits in 2006. Overall, NMHG Wholesale’s various long-term programs, particularly significant new product development programs, are expected to enhance profitability and generate growth increasingly as they mature in the 2006 to 2008 period.

NMHG Retail

In the last half of 2005, NMHG Retail expects to continue its programs to improve the performance of its wholly owned dealerships in order to meet its longer-term objective of achieving at least break-even results while building market position. However, restructuring and improvement programs will continue in 2005 without achieving the full benefit of those programs until future years.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, these officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting: During the second quarter of 2005 and subsequent to the date of their evaluation, there have been no material changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
