NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2006
(in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, we have included all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the unaudited interim periods.

Interim results for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

We operate on a 5-4-4 week quarter with our fiscal year and fourth quarter ending on July 31. Our first quarter ends on the Sunday closest to October 31 that either coincides with or precedes that date. Our second and third quarters end 13 and 26 weeks, respectively, following the end of the first quarter. Our first three quarters of fiscal 2006 ended on April 30, 2006, January 29, 2006 and October 30, 2005 as compared to May 1, 2005, January 30, 2005 and October 31, 2004 for fiscal 2005. For presentation purposes, we use three and nine months to describe one fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters, respectively.

In March 2006, we distributed a two-for-one stock split of our then outstanding common stock. All share and per share data included in this report on Form 10-Q have been restated to reflect the stock split.

Where appropriate, we have reclassified certain amounts in fiscal 2005 to conform to the fiscal 2006 presentation.

Stock-Based Incentive Plan

Prior to August 1, 2005, we applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income prior to fiscal 2006 for stock option grants, as the exercise price was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. In addition, previously we recorded unearned stock-based compensation for nonvested restricted stock awards as “unearned compensation” in the shareholders’ equity section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards. We elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006 includes: (a) compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, (b) compensation expense for all stock options granted prior to, but not yet vested as of July 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and (c) compensation expense for awards granted subsequent to August 1, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R.

We recognize compensation expense for stock option awards and nonvested share awards that vest based on time or market parameters on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for vesting of the award or to an employee’s eligible retirement date, if earlier and applicable. Performance-based nonvested share awards are recognized as compensation expense based on the fair value on the date of grant, the number of shares ultimately expected to vest and the vesting period. At April 30, 2006, achievement of the performance factor is believed to be probable, thus $0.1 million and $0.4 million of compensation expense has been recorded for our performance-based awards during the three and nine months ended April 30, 2006, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended April

30, 2006 was $2.2 million ($1.3 million net of tax) and $6.4 million ($3.9 million net of tax), respectively, compared to $0.9 million ($0.5 million net of tax) and $3.1 million ($1.8 million net of tax) for the three and nine months ended May 1, 2005, respectively. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R, financial results for the prior period have not been restated.

As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on August 1, 2005, our income before taxes, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 30, 2006, were $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.01 lower, respectively, and for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, were $2.6 million, $1.6 million and $0.02 lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we reported all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, we revised our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows presentation to report the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows. For the nine months ended April 30, 2006, $20.4 million of excess tax benefits were reported as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows. For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, the excess tax benefits of $2.8 million were included in operating cash flows.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and income per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 for the three and nine months ended May 1, 2005:


	Three Months		Nine Months
	Ended		Ended
	May 1, 2005		May 1, 2005
Net income, as reported	$	22,722	$	21,477
Less: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects		544		1,650

Pro forma net income	$	22,178	$	19,827


Earnings per share:
Earnings per common share – as reported	$	.24	$	.24

Earnings per common share – pro forma	$	.24	$	.22


Earnings per common share – assuming dilution – as reported	$	.24	$	.23

Earnings per common share – assuming dilution – pro forma	$	.23	$	.21

Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $18.0 million and $13.1 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, and May 1, 2005, respectively. The actual income tax benefit realized from stock option exercises total $20.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for those same periods.

A summary of our stock option activity is as follows (in thousands, except weighted average exercise price) for the nine months ended April 30, 2006:


						Weighted-
						Average
				Weighted-		Remaining
				Average		Contractual		Aggregate
				Exercise		Term (in		Intrinsic
	Options			Price		years		Value
Outstanding options at August 1, 2005		6,032		$	6.57
Options granted		7		$	22.76
Options exercised		(3,001	)	$	6.04
Options forfeited or expired		(75	)	$	8.84

Outstanding options at April 30, 2006		2,963		$	7.08		7.0	$	64,000

Vested or expected to vest at April 30, 2006		2,890		$	7.06		7.0	$	62,474

Exercisable at April 30, 2006		1,379		$	5.51		5.7	$	31,957

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (difference between our closing stock price on the last trading day of the nine months ended April 30, 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on April 30, 2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of our stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 was $54.3 million.

We continue to use the Black-Scholes valuation model to value stock options. We used our historical stock prices as the basis for our volatility assumption. The assumed risk-free rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The expected option life represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding and were based on historical experience.

As of April 30, 2006, we had $4.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.25 years.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair values for the nine months ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005 as follows:


	2006			2005

Weighted-average fair value of grants	$	11.59		$	4.06
Risk free interest rate		4.39	%		3.31	%
Dividend yield		.04	%		.11	%
Expected volatility		50.4	%		57.3	%
Expected life in years		5.50			3.90

Nonvested restricted stock awards as of April 30, 2006 and changes during the nine months ended April 30, 2006 were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average grant date fair value):


				Weighted-
				Average
	Number of			Grant Date
	Shares			Fair Value
Nonvested at August 1, 2005		888		$	9.86
Granted		60		$	22.46
Vested		(61	)	$	7.31
Forfeited or transferred to deferred compensation plan		(8	)	$	14.94

Nonvested at April 30, 2006		879		$	10.85

As of April 30, 2006, there was $5.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.25 years.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costing.” SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. SFAS 151 requires that those amounts, if abnormal, be recognized as expenses in the period incurred. In addition, SFAS 151 requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. We adopted SFAS No. 151 effective August 1, 2005. The adoption did not have a material impact on our earnings and financial position.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and redefines the scope of transactions that should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. We adopted SFAS No. 153 effective August 1, 2005. The adoption did not have a material impact on our earnings and financial position.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”. Previously, APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements” required the inclusion of the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle in net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires companies to recognize a change in accounting principle, including a change required by a new accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, retrospectively to prior period financial statements. SFAS No. 154 was effective as of January 1, 2006 and the adoption of this standard did not have any impact on us in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. SFAS No. 155 provides guidance to simplify the accounting for certain hybrid instruments by permitting fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative, as well as, clarifies that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are subject to SFAS No. 133. In addition, SFAS No. 155 eliminates a restriction on the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold under SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a new basis occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on our financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which amends SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 156 provides guidance addressing the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities, common with mortgage securitization activities, and provides an approach to simplify efforts to obtain hedge accounting treatment. SFAS No. 156 is effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after

September 15, 2006, with early adoption being permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 155 on our financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 3 – STRATEGIC ALLIANCE

On October 27, 2005, we entered into a 20-year strategic alliance (the “Alliance”) with Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) related to the design, manufacture and sale by us of Caterpillar branded telehandlers. The Alliance establishes separate dates in different geographic markets for the transition of telehandler manufacturing and selling responsibility from Caterpillar to us ranging from July 1 to November 1, 2006. As part of the Alliance, we acquired certain equipment and substantially all of the tooling and intellectual property used by Caterpillar exclusively in connection with the design and manufacture of Caterpillar’s current European telehandler products. The purchase price for these Caterpillar telehandler assets was $$52.1 million, which included transaction expenses of $0.6 million, of which $46.4 million was paid at closing on November 30, 2006 and the remaining $5.0 million to be paid on September 15, 2006. We funded the cash portion of the purchase price of the Caterpillar telehandler assets and the transaction expenses with cash generated from operations.

We made this asset acquisition because of its strategic fit and adherence to our growth strategy and acquisition criteria. This acquisition was an addition to our Machinery segment and has been accounted for as a purchase.

The following table summarizes our estimated fair values of the Caterpillar telehandler assets acquired and liabilities assumed on October 27, 2005:


Property, plant and equipment	$	7,663
Other intangible assets		44,500
Other liabilities		(70	)

Net cash consideration	$	52,093

Of the $44.5 million of acquired intangible assets as of April 30, 2006, $29.4 million is assigned to distributor and customer relations (20-year weighted-average useful life), $8.8 million is assigned to patents (10-year weighted-average useful life) and $6.3 million is assigned to a covenant not-to-compete agreement (20-year weighted-average useful life). The entire amount of intangible assets is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

We continue to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation for the Caterpillar telehandler asset acquisition, and we will adjust the allocations as additional information relative to the fair market values of the assets and liabilities become known. Examples of factors and information that we use to refine the allocations include tangible and intangible asset appraisals.

NOTE 4 – DISPOSTION OF ASSETS

On February 3, 2006, we sold substantially all of the assets pertaining to our line of Gradall excavators to Alamo Group Inc. (“AGI”) for cash consideration of $33.0 million net of adjustments based on a balance sheet as of the closing date and on valuation of certain pension liabilities and assets. The sale included the 430,000 square foot manufacturing facility in New Philadelphia, Ohio and related equipment, machinery, tooling, and intellectual property. The Gradall excavator product line included crawler and wheeled models. Divesting this product line is consistent with our strategy of focusing our efforts on our core access business and the proceeds from the sale will be used to continue implementing our growth strategy. In addition to the purchase agreement, we executed a transition supply agreement with AGI covering components for our telescopic material handler product lines that at closing were manufactured at the New Philadelphia facility. The Gradall excavator product line was part of our Machinery segment. The sale of our line of Gradall excavators resulted in a one-time pre-tax gain of $14.6 million, including the $6.7 million curtailment gain discussed in Note 11, in our third quarter of fiscal 2006.

The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities were as follows as of February 3, 2006:


	February 3,
	2006
ASSETS
Trade receivables – net	$	7,308
Inventories		21,165
Other current assets		1
Property, plant and equipment		8,930
Goodwill		1,186
Other assets		2,150

	$	40,740

LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Accounts payable	$	8,855
Accrued expenses		3,696
Other long-term liabilities		7,465
Provisions for contingencies		135
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		(3,376	)

	$	16,775

NOTE 5 – TRADE ACCOUNTS AND FINANCE RECEIVABLES
Trade accounts and finance receivables consist of the following:


	April 30,		July 31,
	2006		2005
Trade accounts receivable	$	373,643	$	393,915
Finance receivables		14,385		8,023
Pledged finance receivables		16,384		29,238

		404,412		431,176
Less allowance for doubtful accounts		10,446		11,310

	$	393,966	$	419,866

NOTE 6 – INVENTORIES AND COST OF SALES

A precise inventory valuation under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method can only be made at the end of each fiscal year. Therefore, interim LIFO inventory valuation determinations, including the determination at April 30, 2006, must necessarily be based on our estimate of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. The cost of inventories stated under the LIFO method was 47% and 44% at April 30, 2006 and July 31, 2005, respectively, of our total inventory.

Inventories consist of the following:


	April 30,		July 31,
	2006		2005
Finished goods	$	116,508	$	75,014
Raw materials and work in process		110,048		102,267

		226,556		177,281
Less LIFO reserve		9,655		8,184

	$	216,901	$	169,097

During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, we recorded, in cost of sales, a one-time, pre-tax benefit of $4.6 million resulting from a change in the costing methodology for inbound freight.

NOTE 7 – OTHER ASSETS

Other assets consist of the following:


	April 30,		July 31,
	2006		2005
Future income tax benefits	$	35,966	$	38,896
Customer notes receivable and other investments		25,952		19,671
Deferred finance charges		7,615		8,712
Other		4,405		8,304

		73,938		75,583
Less allowance for notes receivable		1,741		7,440

	$	72,197	$	68,143

Future income tax benefits arise because there are certain items that are treated differently for financial accounting than for income taxes. We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessary allowances as required.

Notes receivable and other investments are with customers or customer affiliates and include restructuring of accounts and finance receivables as well as assisting our customers in their financing efforts. As of April 30, 2006 and July 31, 2005, approximately 94% and 82%, respectively, of our current and long-term notes receivable and other investments were due from three and four parties, respectively. We routinely evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers and provide reserves if required under the circumstances. Certain notes receivables are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets, other assets owned by the debtor and/or personal guarantees. We may incur losses in excess of our reserves if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate or we do not realize the full amount of any anticipated proceeds from the sale of the collateral supporting our customers’ financial obligations to us.

Deferred finance charges relate to our two note issues and indebtedness under bank credit facilities and are ratably amortized over the remaining life of the instruments.

NOTE 8 – PRODUCT WARRANTY

Most of our products carry a product warranty. That product warranty generally provides that we will repair or replace parts of the product found to be defective in material or workmanship during the specified warranty period following purchase at no cost to the customer. In addition, we provide a one-year warranty on replacement or service parts that we sell. We provide for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under our warranty at the time product revenue is recognized based on the historical percentage relationships of such costs to machine sales and applied to current equipment sales. In addition, specific reserves are maintained for programs related to machine safety and reliability issues. Estimates are made regarding the size of the population, the type of program, costs to be incurred by us and estimated participation.

This table presents our reconciliation of accrued product warranty during the period from August 1, 2005 to April 30, 2006:


Balance as of August 1, 2005	$	13,377
Payments		(10,208	)
Accruals		13,836
Sale of Gradall excavator product line (see Note 4)		(1,028	)

Balance as of April 30, 2006	$	15,977

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate through three business segments: Machinery, Equipment Services and Access Financial Solutions. Our Machinery segment designs, manufactures and sells aerial work platforms, telehandlers and trailers as well as an array of complementary accessories that increase the versatility and efficiency of these products for end-users. Until February 2006, when we sold the Gradall excavator product line, our Machinery segment included the manufacture and sale of telescopic hydraulic excavators. Our Equipment Services segment provides after-sales service and support for our installed base of equipment, including parts sales and equipment rentals, and sells used, remanufactured and reconditioned equipment. Our Access Financial Solutions segment arranges equipment financing and leasing solutions for our customers primarily through “private label” agreements with third party financial institutions, and provides credit support in connection with these financing and leasing arrangements. We evaluate performance of the Machinery and Equipment Services segments and allocate resources based on operating profit before interest, miscellaneous income/expense and income taxes. We evaluate performance of the Access Financial Solutions segment and allocate resources based on its operating profit less interest expense. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Our business segment information consisted of the following for each of the periods ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005:

As a result of the sale of the Gradall excavator product line during the third quarter of 2006, we terminated a significant number of employees. These employees were hired by AGI and will no longer be eligible for future postretirement benefits from us. Their termination of employment from JLG was considered a curtailment under SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” As a result, we recognized a one-time pre-tax accounting credit of $6.7 million that is included in the gain on the sale of the excavator product line and recognized a reduction of $0.4 million in our postretirement benefits expense during the third quarter and first nine month of fiscal 2006. In addition, as part of the transaction, AGI assumed the two Gradall defined benefit plans. As a result, we recognized a reduction of $0.3 million in our pension benefits expense during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2006 and reversed the previously recorded minimum pension liability of $5.5 million.

As a result of changes made to the retiree contribution rates, we recognized a reduction of $0.2 million and $0.5 million in our postretirement benefits expense during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2005, respectively.

NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In connection with our acquisitions, we assess and formulate plans related to their future integration. This process begins during the due diligence process and is concluded within twelve months of the acquisition. We accrue estimates for certain costs, related primarily to personnel reductions and facility closures or restructurings anticipated at the date of acquisition, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” Adjustments to these estimates are made as plans are finalized, but in no event beyond one year from the acquisition date. To the extent these accruals are not utilized for the intended purpose, the excess is recorded as a reduction of the purchase price, typically by reducing recorded goodwill balances. Costs incurred in excess of the recorded accruals are expensed as incurred.

As part of our OmniQuip business unit (“OmniQuip”) integration plan, we permanently closed five facilities of the acquired business and relocated that production into our existing facilities. Additionally, we reduced employment and incurred costs associated with the involuntary termination benefits and relocation costs. These costs were

incremental to our combined enterprise and were incurred as a direct result of our integration plan. Accrued liabilities associated with these integration activities include the following:


Involuntary Employee Termination and Relocation Benefits:
Balance at August 1, 2005	$	435
Costs incurred during fiscal 2006		(18	)

Balance at April 30, 2006	$	417


Facility Closure and Restructuring Costs:
Balance at August 1, 2005	$	3,150
Costs incurred during fiscal 2006		¾

Balance at April 30, 2006	$	3,150

The remaining involuntary employee termination and relocation benefits accrual of $0.4 million relates to the estimated relocation payments for eight employees.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are a party to personal injury and property damage litigation arising out of incidents involving the use of our products. Our insurance program for fiscal 2006 is comprised of a self-insured retention of $3.0 million per claim for domestic claims, insurance coverage of $2.0 million for international claims and catastrophic coverage for domestic and international claims of $100.0 million in excess of the retention and primary coverage. We contract with an independent firm to provide claims handling and adjustment services. Our estimates with respect to claims are based on internal evaluations of the merits of individual claims and the reserves assigned by our independent insurance claims adjustment firm. We frequently review the methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting accrued liability, and any resulting adjustments are reflected in current earnings. Claims are paid over varying periods, which generally do not exceed five years. Accrued liabilities for future claims are not discounted.

As of April 30, 2006 and July 31, 2005, we had $35.6 million and $31.0 million, respectively, of reserves for product liability claims. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and provisions for contingencies on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. While our ultimate liability may exceed or be less than the amounts accrued, we believe that it is unlikely that we would experience losses that are materially in excess of such reserve amounts. The provisions for self-insured losses are included within cost of sales in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of April 30, 2006 and July 31, 2005, there were no insurance recoverables or offset implications and there were no claims by us being contested by insurers.

At April 30, 2006, we are a party to multiple agreements whereby we guarantee $45.7 million in indebtedness of others, including a $20.4 million maximum loss exposure under loss pool agreements related to both finance receivable monetizations and third-party financing. As of April 30, 2006, two customers owed approximately 31% of our total guaranteed indebtedness. Under the terms of these and various related agreements and upon the occurrence of certain events, we generally have the ability, among other things, to take possession of the underlying collateral and/or to demand reimbursement from other parties for any payments made by us under these agreements. At April 30, 2006, we had $4.1 million reserved related to these agreements, including a provision for losses of $0.5 million related to our pledged finance receivables. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves may be required. While we believe it is unlikely that we would experience losses under these agreements that are materially in excess of the amounts reserved, we can provide no assurance that the financial condition of the third parties will not deteriorate resulting in the customers’ inability to meet their obligations and, in the event that occurs, we cannot guarantee that the collateral underlying the agreements will be sufficient to avoid losses materially in excess of those reserved.

We have received notices of audit adjustments from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (“PA”) in connection with audits of our fiscal years 1999 through 2003. The adjustments proposed by PA consist primarily of the disallowance of a royalty deduction taken in our income tax returns. We believe that PA has acted contrary to applicable law, and we are vigorously disputing its position. While we are continuing the appeal process, PA has denied any relief on our appeals to date. Should PA prevail in its disallowance of the royalty deduction, it would

result in a cash outflow and corresponding charge of approximately $7 million, although the timing of any such action is uncertain as of this date.

There can be no assurance that unanticipated events will not require us to increase the amount we have accrued for any matter or accrue for a matter that has not been previously accrued because it was not considered probable.

NOTE 14 – INTEREST EXPENSE NET OF INTEREST INCOME

Interest expense (net of interest income) consisted of the following for each of the periods ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005:


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	April 30,			May 1,			April 30,			May 1,
	2006			2005			2006			2005
Interest expense	$	6,565		$	8,554		$	20,920		$	25,872
Interest (income)		(2,535	)		(1,136	)		(5,736	)		(2,168	)

	$	4,030		$	7,418		$	15,184		$	23,704

NOTE 15 – BANK CREDIT LINES AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On November 30, 2005, we entered into an amended and restated five-year $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that expires November 30, 2010. The facility includes an accordion feature under which JLG, subject to obtaining increased commitments from existing or new lenders, may increase the maximum availability of the facility up to $300 million. In addition, we have a pari passu, $15.0 million cash management facility that expires November 30, 2007. Both facilities are secured by a lien on substantially all of our domestic assets excluding property, plant and equipment. Availability of credit requires compliance with various covenants, including a requirement that in the event the facility borrowing availability is less than 15%, at any time, or in the event that during the 90-day period following payment of certain bond obligations, the facility borrowing availability is less than 40%, we will maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the senior secured revolving credit facility) of not less than 1.10 to 1.0. Availability of credit also will be limited by a borrowing base determined on a monthly basis by reference to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and percentages ranging between 25% and 70% of various categories of domestic inventory. There were no borrowings outstanding under our senior secured revolving facility or our cash management facility at April 30, 2006. At April 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all terms and conditions of our credit facilities.

On March 22, 2006, we entered into a $10.0 million, 2 ¹/2% fixed rate, five-year loan that matures on April 1, 2011. This loan was part of the economic assistance and incentive package received from the state of Pennsylvania resulting from our expansion efforts including the reopening of our Sunnyside facility in Bedford, Pennsylvania.

On March 29, 2006, we used approximately $13.5 million of cash generated from operations to purchase in the open market $12.4 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2008 Notes at a price equal to 105.625% of such principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. We incurred a charge of approximately $0.5 million (after taxes) during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 relating to the extinguishment of debt and the write-off of deferred financing costs resulting from the open market purchase of our 2008 Notes. The open market purchase of our 2008 Notes will lower our future interest expense by $1.0 million annually and by $0.3 million for the remainder of our current fiscal year.

NOTE 16 – INCREASE IN QUARTERLY DIVIDEND, TWO-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT OF CAPITAL STOCK AND INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK

On February 23, 2006, we increased the quarterly dividend rate to $0.01 ($.005 post split) per common share and announced a two-for-one stock split of our common stock. The cash dividend was paid on March 20, 2006 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 6, 2006. The stock split shares were distributed on March 27, 2006 to shareholders of record on March 13, 2006. In connection with the two-for-one stock split of our capital stock, our Board of Directors approved an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), which became effective March 23, 2006, that increased the number of shares of capital stock authorized under the Articles of Incorporation to 200,000,000 shares from 100,000,000 shares.

Overview

We operate through three business segments: Machinery, Equipment Services and Access Financial Solutions. Our Machinery segment designs, manufactures and sells aerial work platforms, telehandlers and trailers, as well as an array of complementary accessories that increase the versatility and efficiency of these products for end-users. Until February 2006, when we sold the product line, our Machinery segment included the manufacture and sale of telescopic hydraulic excavators. Our Equipment Services segment provides after-sales service and support for our installed base of equipment, including parts sales and equipment rentals, and sells used, remanufactured and reconditioned equipment. Our Access Financial Solutions segment arranges equipment financing and leasing solutions for our customers primarily through “private label” agreements with third party financial institutions and provides credit support in connection with those financing and lease arrangements. We sell our products on a global basis to equipment rental companies, construction contractors, manufacturing companies, home improvement centers, the U.S. military, state and local municipalities and equipment distributors that resell our equipment.

Demand for our equipment, parts and services is cyclical and seasonal. Factors that influence the demand for our equipment include the level of economic activity in our principal markets, North America, Europe, Australia and Latin America, particularly as it is affected by the level of commercial and other non-residential construction activity, prevailing rental rates for the type of equipment we manufacture, the age and utilization rates of the equipment in our rental company customers’ fleets relative to the equipment’s useful life and the cost and availability of financing for our equipment. These factors affect demand for our new and remanufactured or reconditioned equipment as well as our services that support our customers’ installed base of equipment. Demand for our equipment is generally strongest during the spring and summer months, and historically we have recorded higher revenues and profits in our fiscal third and fourth quarters relative to our fiscal first and second quarters.

Despite record shipments, orders remained strong as demand for access equipment is being driven by robust construction activity and high utilization rates. These factors are also leading to higher sales of used equipment.

On October 27, 2005, we entered into a 20-year strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) to design and produce a full Caterpillar-branded telehandler product line exclusively for Caterpillar dealers. This alliance established separate deadlines in different geographic markets for the transition of telehandler manufacturing and selling

responsibility from Caterpillar to us ranging from July 1, 2006 to November 1, 2006. This transition is proceeding on schedule and we will begin shipping telehandlers to European Caterpillar dealers in August 2006 and to North American Caterpillar dealers in November 2006.

On February 3, 2006, we sold substantially all of the assets pertaining to our line of Gradall excavators to Alamo Group Inc. (“AGI”) for cash consideration of $33.0 million. The sale included the 430,000 square foot manufacturing facility in New Philadelphia, Ohio and related equipment, machinery, tooling, and intellectual property. The Gradall excavator product line included crawler and wheeled models. In addition to the purchase agreement, we executed a transition supply agreement with Alamo covering components for our telescopic material handler product lines that at closing were manufactured at the New Philadelphia facility. The sale of our line of Gradall excavators resulted in a one-time pre-tax gain of $14.6 million in our third quarter of fiscal 2006.

Our revenues reached $629.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006, a 24.6% increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Revenues in the United States increased 20.3% over last year and international revenues were 37.6% stronger than the prior year, including a 44.5% increase in Europe. Earnings per diluted share were $0.43, compared to $0.24 per diluted share last year. Earnings before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included the effect of the pre-tax gain on the sale of our Gradall excavator product line of $14.6 million.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2006 our revenues were $1.602 billion, a 37.4% increase over the comparable year-ago period. Revenues in the United States increased 34.7% over last year and international revenues were 45.6% stronger than the prior year, including a 50.4% increase in Europe. Earnings per diluted share were $0.95, compared to $0.23 per diluted share last year. Earnings before taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 included the effect of the pre-tax gain on the sale of our Gradall excavator product line of $14.6 million.

In the discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations that follows, we attempt to identify contributing factors in order of significance to the point being addressed.

Results for the Third Quarters of Fiscal 2006 and 2005

We reported net income of $46.2 million, or $0.43 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to net income of $22.7 million, or $0.24 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Earnings before taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 included a gain of $14.6 million from the sale of our Gradall excavator product line during the third quarter, costs of $0.9 million associated with the early retirement of debt and unfavorable currency adjustments of $2.8 million compared to net costs of $6.3 million associated with the early retirement of debt and unfavorable currency adjustments of $1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

Our revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $629.6 million, up 24.6% from the $505.4 million in the comparable year-ago period. The following tables outline our revenues by segment, products and geography (in thousands) for the quarters ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005:

(a)		Revenues for Access Financial Solutions and for financial products are not the same because Access Financial Solutions also receives revenues from rental purchase agreements that are recorded for accounting purposes as rental revenues from operating leases.

The increase in Machinery segment revenues from $437.6 million to $524.3 million, or 19.8%, reflects strong growth in most of our current product lines, led by a 43.0% increase in sales of telehandlers and a 15.4% increase in sales of aerial work platforms, as the primary drivers of equipment demand, commercial and non-residential construction and solid economic activity, continue to be strong. Fleet age, rental rates and utilization of our type of equipment continue to drive demand in all geographic regions and most product lines as rental companies maintain their strong pace of equipment refreshment and expansion. Partially offsetting the increase in Machinery segment revenues was the decrease in sales of excavators during the quarter as a result of the sale of this product line early in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

The main drivers of the increase in Equipment Services segment revenues from $64.3 million to $103.0 million, or 60.2%, were increased sales from our rental fleet, primarily due to a $30.0 million sale to a European customer, increased service parts sales as a result of increased utilization of our customers’ fleet equipment and increased rebuilt equipment sales to the military, partially offset by the absence of excavator service parts sales as a result of the sale of this product line early in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

The decrease in Access Financial Solutions segment revenues from $3.4 million to $2.3 million, or 34.1%, was principally attributable to transitioning customers to our “private label” limited recourse financing arrangements originated through finance companies and to an early payoff of a financed receivable. While we experienced decreased interest income attributable to our pledged finance receivables, we also experienced a corresponding decrease in our limited recourse debt. This resulted in $0.7 million less of interest income being passed on to monetization purchasers in the form of interest expense on limited recourse debt during the third quarter of fiscal

2006 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In accordance with the required accounting treatment, payments to monetization purchasers are reflected as interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our revenues generated from sales in the United States for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $456.6 million, up 20.3% from the comparable year-ago period revenues of $379.6 million. The increase in our revenues generated in the United States reflects strong growth in most product lines as a result of general economic growth and increased demand for used equipment, partially offset by the decrease in sales of excavators during the quarter as a result of the sale of this product line early in the third quarter. Revenues generated from sales outside of the United States for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $173.0 million, up 37.6% from the third quarter of fiscal 2005 revenues of $125.7 million. The increase in our revenues generated outside of the United States was primarily attributable to an increase in sales from our rental fleet primarily due to a $30.0 million sale to a European customer and improved market conditions in the European, Latin American, Pacific Rim and Australian regions, resulting in increased sales of aerial work platforms and telehandlers.

Our gross profit margin was 18.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the prior year quarter’s 19.4%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower margins in our Machinery and Equipment Services segments, as described below.

The gross profit margin of our Machinery segment was 16.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 17.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease was primarily due to a less favorable customer and product mix, costs related to strategic initiatives, manufacturing realignment and capacity expansion, rising energy prices that continue to drive up the cost of freight and petroleum-based components and the unfavorable impact of currency. Partially offsetting the decrease was the higher sales volume during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the favorable impact of the price increases and surcharges that were implemented throughout fiscal 2005 to offset the increase in commodities, especially steel, and our cost reduction activities.

The gross profit margin of our Equipment Services segment was 29.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 31.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The decrease was primarily due to revenue mix, as higher margin service parts represented a smaller percentage of total segment revenues, partially offset by improved margins on used equipment sales, reflecting increased demand for used equipment.

The gross profit margin of our Access Financial Solutions segment was 98.1% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 94.1% for the third quarter of 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in limited recourse financing as a percentage of total segment revenues. The gross margins are typically higher in this segment since the costs associated with revenues are principally selling and administrative expenses and interest expense.

Our selling, administrative and product development expenses increased $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 7.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 9.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The following table summarizes the changes by category in selling, administrative and product development expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2005 (in millions):


Integration expenses	$	2.1
Consulting and legal costs		1.5
Stock option expense		0.9
Bonus expense		(1.0	)
Bad debt provisions		(1.1	)
Advertising and trade shows		(1.3	)
Other		0.2

	$	1.3

Our Machinery segment’s selling, administrative and product development expenses decreased $2.4 million primarily due to lower pension and other postretirement benefit costs associated with the sale of the Gradall excavator product line, a decrease in product development expenses and a decrease in depreciation and amortization

expense. Partially offsetting these decreases was increased consulting and legal costs associated with the outsourcing of research and development projects and ordinary business activities.

Our Equipment Services segment’s selling and administrative expenses were $2.5 million, essentially unchanged from the prior year quarter.

Our Access Financial Solutions segment’s selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million primarily due to lower payroll and related benefit costs.

Our general corporate selling, administrative and product development expenses increased $3.9 million primarily due to the expenses associated with the integration of the Caterpillar telehandler product line, higher payroll and related benefit costs as a result of additional employees and normal merit compensation increases, the expensing of stock options which began during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and increased consulting and legal costs associated with ordinary business activities. Partially offsetting these increases were decreased costs related to advertising and trade shows, a decrease in bonus expense due to the timing of the bonus expense recorded in fiscal 2005 and a decrease in our bad debt provision.

The decrease in interest expense (net of interest income) of $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense resulting from the early retirement during fiscal 2005 of $61.25 million in principal amount of our outstanding 8 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”) and $15.025 million in principal amount of our outstanding 8 1/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2008 (the “2008 Notes”) and a decrease in our limited recourse debt. In addition, interest income increased $1.4 million as a result of our increased cash balance and rising interest rates.

Our miscellaneous income (expense) category included currency losses of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to currency losses of $1.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. In addition, our miscellaneous income (expense) category for the third quarters of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 included costs associated with the early retirement of debt (see discussion included in the Financial Condition section below). The change in currency was primarily due to the currency effect on our hedging positions as the U. S. dollar weakened significantly against the Euro, the British pound and the Australian dollar during the third quarter of fiscal 2006. We enter into certain foreign currency contracts, principally forward contracts, to manage some of our foreign exchange risk. Some natural hedges are also used to mitigate transaction and forecasted exposures. Through our foreign currency hedging activities, we seek primarily to minimize the risk that cash flows resulting from the sales of our products will be affected by changes in exchange rates. We do not designate our forward exchange contracts as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and as a result we recognize the mark-to-market gain or loss on these contracts in earnings.

For additional information related to our derivative instruments, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk below.

Our income tax expense and resultant 39.8% effective tax rate for the three month periods ended April 30, 2006, and May 1, 2005, were based upon the estimated effective tax rates applicable for each full year after giving affect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods.

Results for the First Nine Months of Fiscal 2006 and 2005

We reported net income of $101.5 million, or $0.95 per share on a diluted basis, for the first nine months of fiscal 2006, compared to net income of $21.5 million, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis, for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Earnings before taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 included a gain of $14.6 million from the sale of our Gradall excavator product line during the third quarter, costs of $1.4 million associated with the early retirement of debt and unfavorable currency adjustments of $2.8 million compared to net costs of $6.3 million associated with the early retirement of debt and favorable currency adjustments of $4.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005.

Our revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $1.602 billion, up 37.4% from the $1.165 billion in the comparable year-ago period.

(a)		Revenues for Access Financial Solutions and for financial products are not the same because Access Financial Solutions also receives revenues from rental purchase agreements that are recorded for accounting purposes as rental revenues from operating leases.

The increase in Machinery segment revenues from $971.3 million to $1.348 billion, or 38.7%, reflects strong growth in most of our current product lines, led by a 47.4% increase in sales of telehandlers and a 39.2% increase in sales of aerial work platforms, as the primary drivers of equipment demand, commercial and non-residential construction and solid economic activity, continue to be strong. Fleet age, rental rates and utilization of our type of equipment continue to drive demand in all geographic regions and most product lines as rental companies maintain their strong pace of equipment refreshment and expansion. Partially offsetting the increase in Machinery segment revenues was the decrease in sales of excavators during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as a result of the sale of this product line early in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

The main drivers of the increase in Equipment Services segment revenues from $184.8 million to $245.5 million, or 32.9%, were increased sales from our rental fleet primarily due to a $30.0 million sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to a European customer, increased service parts sales as a result of increased utilization of our customers’ fleet equipment and increased rebuilt equipment sales to the military, partially offset by a decrease in excavator service parts sales as a result of the sale of this product line near the beginning of the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

The decrease in Access Financial Solutions segment revenues from $9.4 million to $8.6 million, or 7.8%, was principally attributable to transitioning customers to our “private label” limited recourse financing arrangements originated through finance companies and to an early payoff of a financed receivable, partially offset by an increase in revenues from our “private label” limited recourse financing solutions through program agreements with third-party funding providers. During fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, Access Financial Solutions segment revenues decreased as we transitioned customers to our “private label” limited recourse financing arrangements originated through finance companies. While we experienced decreased interest income attributable to our pledged finance receivables, we also experienced a corresponding decrease in our limited recourse debt. This resulted in $2.4 million less of interest income being passed on to monetization purchasers in the form of interest expense on limited recourse debt

during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2005. In accordance with the required accounting treatment, payments to monetization purchasers are reflected as interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our revenues generated from sales in the United States for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $1.178 billion, up 34.7% from the comparable year-ago period revenues of $874.4 million. The increase in our revenues generated in the United States reflects strong growth in most product lines as a result of general economic growth and increased demand for used equipment, partially offset by the decrease in sales of excavators during the quarter as a result of the sale of this product line early in the third quarter. Revenues generated from sales outside of the United States for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 were $423.9 million, up 45.6% from the first nine months of fiscal 2005 revenues of $291.1 million. The increase in our revenues generated outside of the United States was primarily attributable to improved market conditions in the European, Australian, Pacific Rim and Latin America regions, resulting in increased sales of aerial work platforms and telehandlers and an increase in sales from our rental fleet primarily due to a $30.0 million sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 to a European customer.

Our gross profit margin was 19.3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to the prior year’s 15.2%. The increase was primarily attributable to higher margins in each of our segments, as described below.

The gross profit margin of our Machinery segment was 16.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 11.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume during the first nine months of fiscal 2006, the favorable impact of the price increases and surcharges that were implemented throughout fiscal 2005 to offset the increase in commodities, especially steel, our cost reduction activities, a favorable sales mix and a favorable one-time adjustment in inbound freight costs related to a change in costing methodology, partially offset by rising energy prices which continue to drive up the cost of freight and petroleum-based components.

The gross profit margin of our Equipment Services segment was 33.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 32.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase was primarily due to improved margins on used equipment sales, reflecting increased demand for used equipment and improved margins on service parts, reflecting price increases and surcharges that were implemented throughout fiscal 2005, partially offset by revenue mix, as higher margin service parts represented a lower percentage of total segment revenues.

The gross profit margin of our Access Financial Solutions segment was 98.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 93.6% for the first nine months of 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in limited recourse financing as a percentage of total segment revenues. The gross margins are typically higher in this segment since the costs associated with revenues are principally selling and administrative expenses and interest expense.

Our selling, administrative and product development expenses increased $21.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005, but as a percentage of revenues decreased to 8.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to 10.0% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The following table summarizes the changes by category in selling, administrative and product development expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2005 (in millions):


Bonus expense	$	6.8
Consulting and legal costs		3.3
Salaries and related benefits		2.7

Integration expenses		2.6
Profit sharing and 401(k) plan		2.5
Accelerated vesting of restricted shares		(1.7	)
Other		2.7

	$	21.5

Our Machinery segment’s selling, administrative and product development expenses decreased $1.2 million primarily due to a decrease in our bad debt provision and lower pension and other postretirement benefit costs associated with the sale of the Gradall excavator product line, partially offset by increased consulting and legal costs associated with the outsourcing of research and development projects and ordinary business activities, an increase in our discretionary profit sharing contribution and 401(k) plan expense as a result of a higher profit sharing contribution and additional employees, and increased costs related to advertising and trade shows.

Our Equipment Services segment’s selling and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million due primarily to an increase in our discretionary profit sharing contribution and 401(k) plan expense as a result of a higher profit sharing contribution and additional employees, and higher payroll and related benefit costs as a result of additional employees and normal merit compensation increases.

Our Access Financial Solutions segment’s selling and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million primarily due to an increase in our bad debt provision.

Our general corporate selling, administrative and product development expenses increased $21.2 million primarily due to our increased profitability, additional employees and normal merit compensation increases, resulting in higher bonus expense and higher payroll and related benefit costs, the expensing of stock options, which began during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, expenses related to the integration of the Caterpillar telehandler product line, an increase in the bad debt provision for specific reserves related to a European customer and an increase in our discretionary profit sharing contribution and 401(k) plan expense as a result of a higher profit sharing contribution and additional employees. Partially offsetting these increases were costs associated with the accelerated vesting of restricted share awards during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 triggered by our share price appreciation.

The decrease in interest expense (net of interest income) of $8.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense of $5.0 million as a result of the early retirement during fiscal 2005 of $61.25 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2012 Notes and $15.025 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2008 Notes and a decrease in our limited recourse debt, partially offset by an adjustment to the interest associated with the hedging of our fixed rate debt. In addition, interest income increased $3.5 million as a result of our increased cash balance and rising interest rates.

Our miscellaneous income (expense) category included currency losses of $2.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to currency gains of $4.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. In addition, our miscellaneous income (expense) category for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 included costs associated with the early retirement of debt (see discussion included in the Financial Condition section below). The change in currency was primarily due to the currency effect on our hedging positions as the U. S. dollar weakened significantly against the Euro, the British pound and the Australian dollar during the first nine months of fiscal 2006. As discussed above in our results for the third quarters of fiscal 2006 and 2005, we enter into certain foreign currency contracts, principally forward contracts, to manage some of our foreign exchange risk.

For additional information related to our derivative instruments, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk below.

Our income tax expense and resultant effective tax rate for the nine month periods ended April 30, 2006, and May 1, 2005, were based upon the estimated effective tax rates applicable for each full year after giving affect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was 39.1% compared to 39.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the inclusion of non-deductible compensation related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock awards triggered by our share price appreciation and foreign valuation allowances. The rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 was unfavorably impacted by providing for tax contingencies related to potential adverse state adjustments and foreign valuation allowances. The projected tax rate for fiscal 2006 has been adjusted to 39% from the previously forecasted rate due to the provision of foreign valuation allowances.

Financial Condition

Cash generated from operating activities was $70.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to cash generated from operating activities of $88.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The decrease in cash from operations primarily resulted from higher inventory levels to support the increased business activity, the change in accounts payable resulting from a decrease in our days payables outstanding offset in part by higher production levels as a result of the increase in demand for our products, an increase in our notes receivable and other investments during the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to a reduction during the first nine months of fiscal 2005, an increase in the payments of sales rebates as a result of our higher sales volume and higher income tax payments as a result of our higher pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in our net income.

We used cash of $22.8 million for investment purposes for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to $7.3 million used for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The increase in the use of cash was principally due to the acquisition of Caterpillar telehandler assets (certain equipment and substantially all of the tooling and intellectual property) and an increase in capital expenditures as a result of our strategic initiatives discussed below. Partially offsetting the increase in cash usage were proceeds received from the sale of our excavator product line assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2006 and a net increase in rental fleet sales over rental fleet purchases.

We had cash flows from financing activities of $34.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 compared to cash flows of $58.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was largely attributable to our net proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $119.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2005, partially offset by a lower amount of debt repurchases, the increase in excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and an increase in the number of stock options exercised.

Due to the seasonality of our sales, during certain periods we may generate negative cash flows from operations despite reporting profits. Generally, this may occur in periods in which we are building inventory levels in anticipation of sales during peak periods as well as other uses of working capital related to payment terms associated with trade receivables or other sale arrangements.

The following table provides a summary of our contractual obligations (in thousands) at April 30, 2006:


			Payments Due by Period
			Less than						After 5
	Total		1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		Years
Short and long-term debt (a)	$	223,531	$	8,447	$	99,845	$	5,818	$	109,421

Total contractual obligations (e)	$	412,703	$	160,115	$	123,145	$	11,301	$	118,142


(a)		Includes our two note issues, indebtedness under our bank credit facilities, a $10.0 million five-year loan and a $5.0 million promissory note.

(b)		Our limited recourse debt is the result of the sale of finance receivables through limited recourse monetization transactions.

(c)		In accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” operating lease obligations are not reflected in the balance sheet.

(d)		We enter into contractual arrangements that result in our obligation to make future payments, including purchase obligations. We enter into these arrangements in the ordinary course of business in order to ensure adequate levels of inventories, machinery and equipment, or services. Purchase obligations primarily consist of inventory purchase commitments, including raw materials, components and sourced products.

(e)		We anticipate that our funding obligation for our pension and postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2006 will approximate $2.4 million. That amount principally represents contributions either required by regulations or laws or, with respect to unfunded plans, necessary to fund current benefits. We have not presented estimated pension and postretirement funding in the table above as the funding can vary from year to year based upon changes in the fair value of the plan assets and actuarial assumptions.

The following table provides a summary of our other commercial commitments (in thousands) at April 30, 2006:

(a)		We discuss our guarantee agreements in Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

On October 27, 2005, we entered into a 20-year strategic Alliance with Caterpillar related to the design, manufacture and sale by us of Caterpillar branded telehandlers. The Alliance establishes separate dates in different geographic markets for the transition of telehandler manufacturing and selling responsibility from Caterpillar to us ranging from July 1 to November 1, 2006. As part of the Alliance, we acquired certain equipment and substantially all of the tooling and intellectual property used by Caterpillar exclusively in connection with the design and manufacture of Caterpillar’s current European telehandler products. The purchase price for these Caterpillar telehandler assets was $46.4 million paid at closing, plus $5.0 million to be paid on September 15, 2006.

Our strategic initiatives planned for fiscal 2006 include the development of the North American Caterpillar telehandler product line and capacity improvements in both Belgium and Pennsylvania to accommodate the additional volume, for the expansion of our ServicePlus™ operations, formation of our Commercial Solutions Group, reopening of the Bedford, Pennsylvania and Orrville, Ohio facilities, All-Terrain Lifter, Army System (“ATLAS”) II military telehandler development and other proprietary projects. As a result of these strategic initiatives, we now estimate that approximately $26 million will be expensed during fiscal 2006 a reduction of approximately $9 million from our previous estimate largely as a result of timing of the expenses related to the integration of the Caterpillar telehandler product line. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2006, we incurred $12.2 million of these planned expenses, with $8.0 million being incurred in the third quarter.

For fiscal 2006, we anticipate incurring capital expenditures of approximately $41 million in property, plant and equipment, which includes capital investments in the strategic initiatives described above. This is a reduction of approximately $11 million from our previous estimate largely as a result of rental fleet sales now estimated to equal rental fleet purchases for fiscal 2006. Included in the total, is the $16.9 million in capital expenditures associated with the Caterpillar Alliance.

On February 3, 2006, we sold substantially all of the assets pertaining to our line of Gradall excavators to AGI for cash consideration of $33.0 million. The sale included the 430,000 square foot manufacturing facility in New Philadelphia, Ohio and related equipment, machinery, tooling, and intellectual property. The Gradall excavator product line included crawler and wheeled models. In addition to the purchase agreement, we executed a transition supply agreement with Alamo covering components for our telescopic material handler product lines that at closing were manufactured at the New Philadelphia facility.

lower our future interest expense by $1.0 million annually and by $0.3 million for the remainder of our current fiscal year.

We expect that our principal sources of liquidity for the next twelve months will be existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Availability of funds under our credit facilities and monetizations of finance receivables depend on a variety of factors described below. As of April 30, 2006, we had cash balances totaling $304.9 million and unused credit commitments totaling $202.3 million.

On November 30, 2005, we entered into an amended and restated five-year $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that expires November 30, 2010. The facility includes an accordion feature under which JLG, subject to obtaining increased commitments from existing or new lenders, may increase the maximum availability of the facility up to $300 million. In addition, we have a pari passu, $15.0 million cash management facility that expires November 30, 2007. Both facilities are secured by a lien on substantially all of our domestic assets excluding property, plant and equipment. Availability of credit requires compliance with various covenants, including a requirement that in the event the facility borrowing availability is less than 15%, at any time, or in the event that during the 90-day period following payment of certain bond obligations, the facility borrowing availability is less than 40%, we will maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the senior secured revolving credit facility) of not less than 1.10 to 1.0. Availability of credit also will be limited by a borrowing base determined on a monthly basis by reference to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and percentages ranging between 25% and 70% of various categories of domestic inventory. Accordingly, credit available to us under these facilities will vary with seasonal and other changes in the borrowing base, and we may not have full availability of the stated maximum amount of credit at all times. However, based on our current business plan, we expect to have sufficient credit available that, combined with existing cash balances and cash to be generated from operations, will meet our expected seasonal requirements for working capital, planned capital and integration expenditures for the next twelve months.

Historically, our Access Financial Solutions segment originated and monetized customer finance receivables principally through limited recourse syndications. Since late 2003, the focus of this segment has shifted to providing “private label” financing solutions through program agreements with third-party funding providers, subject to limited recourse to us. Transactions funded by the finance companies are not held by us as financial assets, and therefore the subsequent payment from the finance companies is not recorded on our financial statements. Some transactions not funded by the finance companies may still be funded by us to the extent of our liquidity sources and subsequently monetized.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2006 and all of fiscal 2005, we did not monetize any finance receivables through syndications. During the same periods, $61.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively, of sales to our customers were funded through program agreements with third-party finance companies. Although monetizations generate cash, under SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities”, the monetized portion of our finance receivables portfolio remains recorded on our balance sheet as limited recourse debt with the associated pledged finance receivable that was sold. We expect that our limited recourse debt balance will continue to decline.

As discussed in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report, we are a party to multiple agreements whereby we guarantee $45.7 million in indebtedness of others. In connection with our customer financing activities, guarantees comprise one of the financing or credit support programs that we offer to certain of our customers. These guarantees arise from those customer financing activities. If the financial condition of these customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Also as discussed in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be affected to the extent that our ultimate exposure with respect to product liability varies from current estimates. Also as discussed in Note 13 and in Item 1 of Part II of this report, pending legal proceedings and other contingencies have the potential to adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Information regarding off-balance sheet arrangements is included in our Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments tables contained in Item 2 of Part I of this report and in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment, estimation, or complexity than other accounting policies.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Reserves for Finance Receivables: We evaluate the collectibility of receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additional reserves are established based upon our perception of the quality of the current receivables, the current financial position of our customers and past experience of collectibility. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Goodwill: We perform a goodwill impairment test on at least an annual basis and more frequently in certain circumstances. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material negative change in a relationship with a significant customer.

Guarantees of the Indebtedness of Others: We enter into agreements with finance companies whereby our equipment is sold to a finance company, which, in turn, sells or leases it to a customer. In some instances, we retain a liability in the event the customer defaults on the financing. Reserves are established related to these guarantees based upon our understanding of the current financial position of these customers and based on estimates and judgments made from information available at that time. If we become aware of deterioration in the financial condition of our customers or of any impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Although we may be liable for the entire amount of a customer’s financial obligation under guarantees, our losses would be mitigated by the value of any underlying collateral including financed equipment.

In addition, we have monetized a substantial portion of the receivables originated by AFS through a series of syndications, limited recourse financings and other monetization transactions. In connection with some of these monetization transactions, we have a loss exposure associated with our pledged finance receivables related to possible defaults by the obligors under the terms of the contracts, which comprise these finance receivables. Contingencies have been established related to these monetization transactions based upon the current financial position of these customers and based on estimates and judgments made from information available at that time. If the financial condition of these obligors were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

We discuss our guarantee agreements in Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Income Taxes: We estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year on a quarterly basis. The rate determined is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis. The tax effect of specific discrete items is reflected in the period in which they occur. If the estimates and related assumptions used to calculate the effective tax rate change, we may be required to adjust our effective rate, which could change income tax expense.

We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of any tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide any necessary allowances as required. The carrying value of the net deferred tax assets assumes, based on estimates and assumptions, that we will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions to realize the benefits of such assets. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record additional valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, carry back opportunities and tax planning strategies in making the assessment.

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which often results in proposed assessments. We believe that we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are determined or resolved. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which our earnings and/or deductions are realized may differ from current estimates.

Inventory Valuation: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Certain items in inventory may be considered impaired, obsolete or excess and as such, we may establish an allowance to reduce the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. We also value used equipment taken in trade from our customers. Based on certain estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at that time, we determine the amounts of these inventory allowances. If these estimates and related assumptions or the market for our equipment change, we may be required to record additional reserves.

Long-Lived Assets: We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Judgments made by us related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and our ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and anticipated future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the fair value of long-lived assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our long-lived assets may require adjustment in future periods. If actual fair value is less than our estimates, long-lived assets may be overstated on the balance sheet and a charge would need to be taken against earnings.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits: Pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations are dependent on assumptions used in calculation of these amounts. These assumptions, used by actuaries, include discount rates, expected returns on plan assets for funded plans, rates of salary increases, health care cost trend rates, mortality rates, participant demographics and other factors. We consider current market conditions, including interest rates, in making these assumptions. We develop the discount rates by considering the yields available on high-quality fixed income investments with long-term maturities corresponding to the related benefit obligation. We develop the expected return on plan assets by considering various factors, which include the plan’s targeted asset allocation percentages, historic returns, and expected future returns. In accordance with GAAP, actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions are accumulated and amortized to future periods and therefore affect recognized expense and recorded obligations in future periods. While we believe that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may materially effect our financial position or results of operations.

Product Liability: Our business exposes us to possible claims for personal injury or death and property damage resulting from the use of equipment that we rent or sell. We maintain insurance through a combination of self-insurance retentions, primary insurance and excess insurance coverage. We monitor claims and potential claims of which we become aware and establish liability reserves for the self-insurance amounts based on our liability

estimates for such claims. Our liability estimates with respect to claims are based on internal evaluations of the merits of individual claims and the reserves assigned by our independent insurance claims adjustment firm. The methods of making such estimates and establishing the resulting accrued liability are reviewed frequently, and adjustments resulting from our reviews are reflected in current earnings. If these estimates and related assumptions change, we may be required to record additional reserves.

Restructuring and Restructuring-Related: These charges and related reserves and accruals reflect estimates, including those pertaining to separation costs, settlements of contractual obligations and asset valuations. We reassess the reserve requirements to complete each individual plan within the program at the end of each reporting period or as conditions change. Actual experience has been and may continue to be different from the estimates used to establish the reserves.

Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue when all the following criteria are satisfied with regard to a specific transaction: persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; the price is fixed or determinable; collectibility of cash is reasonably assured; and delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. For the majority of the Company’s sales, we recognize revenue when title is transferred to the customer as soon as the product is shipped. For a portion of the Company’s sales, primarily in Europe, we recognize revenue when title is transferred to the customer upon receipt at the customer’s location. In addition, certain sales, including our ATLAS brand of military telehandler products, may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. In such cases, revenue is recognized only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the equipment, the equipment has been completed and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has requested that we hold the equipment for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the equipment is invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the equipment and risk of ownership passes to the customer upon invoicing, the equipment is segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, and we have no further obligations under the order other than customary post-sales support activities. During the first nine months of fiscal 2006, less than 1.0% of our sales were invoiced and the revenue recognized prior to customers taking physical possession. In order for us to recognize revenue on the Millennia Military Vehicle (“MMV”) brand of military telehandler products, they must pass inspection by a government QAR at the point of production to insure special paint requirements are met and by a government representative at the point of destination to verify delivery without damage during transportation.

The terms for sales transactions with some of our distributors and customers may include specific volume-based incentives, which are calculated and paid or credited on account as a percentage of actual purchases. We account for these incentives as sales discounts at the time of revenue recognition as a direct reduction of sales. We review our accrual for sales incentives on a quarterly basis and any adjustments are reflected in current earnings.

We account for certain equipment lease contracts as sales-type leases. The present value of all payments, net of executory costs (such as legal fees), is recorded as revenue and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales. The associated interest is recorded over the term of the lease using the interest method. In addition, we lease equipment held for rental and recognize rental revenues in the period they are earned over the lease term.

We enter into rental purchase guarantee agreements (“RPGs”) with some of our customers. These agreements are normally for a term of no greater than twelve months and provide for rental payments with a guaranteed purchase option at the end of the agreement. At the inception of the agreement, we record the full amount due under the agreement as revenue and the related cost of the equipment is charged to cost of sales.

We ship equipment on a limited basis to certain customers on consignment, which under GAAP allows recognition of the revenues only upon final sale of the equipment by the consignee. At April 30, 2006, we had $9.5 million of inventory on consignment.

Warranty: We establish reserves related to the warranties we provide on our products. Specific reserves are maintained for programs related to equipment safety and reliability issues. We establish estimates based on the size of the population, the type of program, costs to be incurred by us and estimated participation. We maintain additional reserves based on the historical percentage relationships of such costs to equipment sales and applied to current equipment sales. If these estimates and related assumptions change, we may be required to record additional reserves.

Additional information regarding our critical accounting policies is in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which could affect our future results of operations and financial condition. We manage exposure to these risks principally through our regular operating and financing activities.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our outstanding debt. Our outstanding interest rate swap instruments at April 30, 2006 consisted of a $70.0 million notional fixed-to-variable rate swap with a fixed-rate receipt of 8 3/8% and a $62.5 million notional fixed-to-variable rate swap with a fixed-rate receipt of 8 1/4%. The bases of the variable rates paid related to our $70.0 million and $62.5 million interest rate swap instruments are the six month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.51% and 5.15%, respectively. These swap agreements are designated as hedges of the fixed-rate borrowings which are outstanding and are structured as perfect hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” During fiscal 2003, we terminated our $87.5 million notional fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreement with a fixed-rate receipt of 8 3/8% that we entered into during June 2002, which resulted in a deferred gain of $6.2 million. The remaining deferred gain of $2.7 million will offset interest expense over the remaining life of the debt. Total interest bearing liabilities at April 30, 2006 consisted of $122.6 million in variable-rate borrowing and $129.4 million in fixed-rate borrowing. At the current level of variable-rate borrowing, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would decrease pre-tax current year earnings by approximately $1.2 million on an annual basis. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not result in a material change in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.

For additional information, we refer you to Item 7 in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). During the period covered by this report, we made no changes which have materially affected, or which are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors
JLG Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of JLG Industries, Inc. as of April 30, 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005 and the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2006 and May 1, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of JLG Industries, Inc. as of July 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated September 16, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 27, 2004, we announced that the SEC had begun an informal inquiry relating to accounting and financial reporting following our February 18, 2004 announcement that we would be restating our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 and for the first fiscal quarter ended October 26, 2003. The notification advised that the existence of the inquiry should not be construed as an expression or opinion of the SEC that any violation of law has occurred, nor should it reflect adversely on the character or reliability of any person or entity or on the merits of our securities. We continue to cooperate with any requests for information from the SEC related to the informal inquiry.

We make provisions relating to probable product liability claims. For information relative to product liability claims, see Note 13 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Item 1 of Part I of this report.
