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

(1) Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flow from operations, as defined by
    U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and is not calculated in the
    same way by all companies. We define adjusted EBITDA as operating profit
    (loss) before certain unusual items, as identified below, plus depreciation
    and amortization. You should not consider adjusted EBITDA as a substitute
    for net income, as an indicator of our operating performance or cash flow,
    or as a measure of liquidity.

    EBITDA before adjustments, or operating profit (loss) plus depreciation and
    amortization, was $17.2 million. In determining adjusted EBITDA, NMHG
    included $0.6 million related to idling the Danville, Illinois assembly
    facilities of NMHG and $0.8 million of other non-cash charges to reduce
    asset values.

(2) As of March 31, 2002, our backlog of unfilled orders placed with
    our manufacturing and assembly operations for new lift trucks was
    approximately 16,300 units, or $292.4 million, of which substantially all is
    expected to be filled during fiscal 2002. This compares to a backlog of
    15,100 units, or $265.3 million, as of December 31, 2001. This increase in
    backlog is a result of improved product demand and economic recovery.

(3) NMHG paid a dividend of $15.0 million to NACCO.

(4) As of March 31, 2002, includes $265.0 million of debt outstanding
    under our existing credit facility and classified as a current liability in
    accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
