The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The following description of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all salaried and non-union hourly employees of participating companies of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (the "Company") who are scheduled to complete at least 1,000 hours of service during a year. Participating companies include the Company and all subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company, as defined in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Participants may make voluntary pre-tax contributions to their accounts in whole percentages up to 15%, of eligible compensation, up to a maximum of $10,500 (adjusted annually). Participant contributions are not required.

Contributions to the Plan may be made by the Company in the form of a variable profit sharing contribution, which is credited to the individual accounts of the participants based on a formula, as defined in the Plan.

Annual contributions to a participant's account are limited to the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the participant's compensation for the year.

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the participant's share of the Company's contributions and an allocation of plan earnings, and reduced for withdrawals. Plan earnings are determined and credited to each participant's account on a daily basis in accordance with the proportion of the participant's account to all accounts. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

Participants have a non-forfeitable, vested right to the entire amount voluntarily contributed, and earnings thereon, and may withdraw the total of such amount in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The portion of a participant's account attributable to employer contributions vests at the rate of 20% at the end of each year of credited service for five years. Participants who leave the Company because of normal retirement, disability retirement or death are considered to be 100% vested.

A participant may make a withdrawal from his or her vested 401(k) and rollover account balance while still employed by the Company in the event of immediate and heavy financial hardship as defined by the Plan document.

Withdrawal elections available to participants are a lump sum payment, equal installments over a period of years, or an insurance company single premium nontransferable annuity contract.

Participants may receive a loan from the Plan in an amount equal to a minimum of $1,000 up to 50% of the participant's account balance, excluding the portion of the account balance relating to Company profit sharing contributions, not to exceed $50,000. A participant may not maintain more than one loan at a time. Loans bear an interest rate equal to the current prime rate plus 1%. Loans are repaid from payroll deductions over a period not to exceed five years. In the event of default on a loan, the Plan has the right to apply the participant's account balance in satisfaction of the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the loan.

Forfeited non-vested accounts are used to increase the Company's profit sharing contribution to the remaining participants in the year of the forfeiture.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid from the assets of the Trust and are netted against income from the Trust.

The Company makes weekly payments to the Plan for participant contributions. Profit sharing contributions are made when final calculations of contribution amounts have been determined, which normally is within two and one-half months of the Plan's year end.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade-date basis. Interest income of the Trust is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends of the Trust are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Capital Preservation Fund contains some investments in insurance company investment contracts. These contracts are included in the assets of the Capital Preservation Fund at contract value because they are fully benefit responsive. For example, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

The contract value of the Capital Preservation Fund approximates fair value at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses.

The average yield for the Capital Preservation Fund was 5.8% for the year ended December 31, 2001. The crediting interest rate for this fund was 6.0% and 5.8% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The Trust's investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Benefits are recorded when paid.

The Plan's allocated share of the Trust's net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each participant's share of the Trust. The percentage of the Plan's assets to the total assets of the Trust was 45% and 44% as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Plan's approximate allocated share of the net assets of each fund in the Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was:

Benefits paid to participants represent the amount paid to participants as determined by their vesting status at the time of termination. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, $41,049,960 and

$38,900,837, respectively, included in net assets available for benefits is allocated to inactive participants of the Plan.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated

September 28, 1995 that the Plan is designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in accordance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it may elect to do so at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, each participant becomes fully vested in his or her entire participant account balance.

Transactions involving The Manitowoc Company, Inc. common stock and participant loans are considered party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are not, however, considered prohibited transactions under 29 CFR 408(b) of the ERISA regulations.
