INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Administrative Committee

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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. Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1 - Plan Description

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

General

The Plan is a retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan is available to all eligible employees of participating companies of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (the "Company") who have completed either any probationary period with a participating company, or six months, whichever is shorter. An eligible employee is an hourly employee of a participating company who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the participating company and the union representing employees of the participating company. The only participating companies in the Plan at December 31, 2002 and 2001 are Manitowoc Cranes, Inc., Manitowoc Ice, Inc., Bay Shipbuilding Company, KMT Refrigeration, Inc., Toledo Ship Repair, and Multiplex, Inc., all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Plan also includes Marinette Marine Employees as of 2002. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Contributions

All employees were allowed to contribute up to 100% of pay beginning in 2002, up to a maximum of $11,000 (adjusted annually). The Company also makes matching contributions to eligible employees of specific participating companies in accordance with their collective bargaining unit's contract (Multiplex only, for 2001). Rollover contributions are allowed.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant'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.

Vesting

Participants always 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.

Investments

The Plan's investments are commingled with other Company sponsored plans in The Manitowoc Company, Inc., Employees' Profit Sharing Trust (the "Trust"). Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in 5% increments in any of the defined investment options. Participants may change their investment options at any time.

DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001

NOTE 1 - Plan Description - Continued

Payment of Benefits

Participants may elect to receive the vested portion of their account balance upon normal retirement at or after age 65, upon death or disability, if earlier, or upon termination of employment. A participant whose vested balance exceeds $5,000 upon termination of employment has the right to maintain his or her vested account balance in the Plan until distribution is required to be made under the rules of the Plan.

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.

Participant Loans

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.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

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

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid from the assets of the Trust.

Contributions

Company profit sharing contributions are made when the final calculation of the contribution amount has been determined, which normally is within two and one-half months of the Plan's year end. Participant contributions are forwarded to the Plan at the end of each payroll period.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Trust's investments are stated at fair value except for insurance company investment contracts which are stated at contract value. Investments in common stock of the Company and mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices.

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, 2002 and 2001. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses.

The average yield for the Capital Preservation Fund was 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The crediting interest rate for this fund was 5.7% and 6.0% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.
