Item 1.  Business

General

     Joy Global Inc. (the “Company” or the “Successor Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) was known as Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”) prior to the Company's emergence from protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) on July 12, 2001 (the “Effective Date”). We are the direct successor to a business begun over 115 years ago which, at November 2, 2002, through its subsidiaries, manufactures and markets products classified into two business segments: underground mining machinery (Joy Mining Machinery or “Joy”) and surface mining equipment (P&H Mining Equipment or “P&H”). Joy is a major manufacturer of underground mining equipment for the extraction of coal and other bedded minerals and offers comprehensive service locations near major mining regions worldwide. P&H is a major producer of surface mining equipment for the extraction of ores and minerals and provides extensive operational support for many types of equipment used in surface mining.

Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence

     On June 7, 1999, the Predecessor Company and substantially all of its domestic operating subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). By order dated May 29, 2001, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed our Plan of Reorganization (the “POR”). We formally emerged from bankruptcy on the Effective Date.

     As part of our emergence, we adopted fresh start accounting pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code” (“SOP 90-7”). In accordance with fresh start accounting principles, our assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair value as of the Effective Date with the excess of our enterprise value over the fair value of our tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities reported as excess reorganization value in our consolidated balance sheet. The net effect of fresh start accounting adjustments was a gain of $45.1 million which was recorded in the income statement for the Predecessor Company during Fiscal 2001. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting, the Successor Company’s financial statements are not comparable to those of the Predecessor Company.

     The following table describes the periods presented in the financial statements, accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

     Of the fifty million shares that will be distributed to holders of allowed pre-petition claims against the Predecessor Company, a total of 46,126,925 shares of new common stock have been distributed to date under the POR. The most recent distribution was at the end of July 2002 and was based on approximately $1.30 billion of “current adjusted claims” and equated one share of Joy Global Inc. common stock to a $25.95 allowed claim. The next distribution is expected to take place at the end of January 2003 with future distributions to continue to take place at six-month intervals as the remaining bankruptcy related claims are resolved. We estimate that, if the remaining claims are resolved as we currently anticipate, “total projected claims” or the total amount of claims after all claims have been resolved will be approximately $1.21 billion. While this number has not changed significantly since it was included in the POR, given the uncertainties inherent in the claims resolution process, there can be no assurance that the remaining claims will be resolved for the amounts currently estimated by us. The amount of stock distributed in each future distribution to holders of pre-petition claims against the Predecessor Company is contingent on the resolution of such claims. For purposes of this Annual Report, all fifty million shares that will ultimately be distributed to creditors are treated as outstanding.

     In addition to these shares, by order of the Bankruptcy Court, we issued 228,395 shares of common stock to an international investment banking firm which acted as financial advisor to the creditors committee in our bankruptcy. One of our directors is a Managing Director of the investment banking firm. These shares, together with the other distributions, bring the total number of shares distributed to date to 46,355,320. As of November 2, 2002, 3,873,075 shares are designated for future distribution under the POR and held in a disputed claims equity reserve pending resolution of the remaining bankruptcy related claims against the Predecessor Company.

Underground Mining Machinery

     Joy is the world’s largest producer of high productivity underground mining machinery for the extraction of coal and other bedded materials. It manufactures and services mining equipment for the underground extraction of coal and other bedded materials. Joy has significant facilities in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as sales offices in Poland, India, Russia, and the People’s Republic of China. Joy products include: continuous miners; complete longwall mining systems (consisting of roof supports, an armored face conveyor and a longwall shearer); longwall shearers; roof supports; armored face conveyors; shuttle cars; continuous haulage systems; battery haulers; flexible conveyor trains; and roof bolters. Joy also maintains an extensive network of service and replacement parts distribution centers to rebuild and service equipment and to sell replacement parts in support of its installed base. This network includes eight service centers in the United States and five outside of the United States, all of which are strategically located in major underground mining regions.

Products and Services:

     Continuous miners - Electric, self-propelled continuous miners cut coal using carbide-tipped bits on a horizontal rotating drum. Once cut, the coal is gathered onto an internal conveyor and loaded into a shuttle car or continuous haulage system for transportation to the main mine belt.

     Longwall shearers - A longwall shearer moves back and forth on a conveyor parallel to the coal face. Using carbide-tipped bits on cutting drums at each end, the shearer cuts a meter or more of coal on each pass and simultaneously loads the coal onto an armored face conveyor for transport to the main mine belt. A longwall face may range up to 300 meters in length.

     Roof supports - Roof supports support the mine roof during longwall mining. The supports advance with the longwall shearer, resulting in controlled roof falls behind the supports.

     Armored face conveyors - Armored face conveyers are used in longwall mining to transport coal cut by the shearer to the main mine belt.

     Shuttle cars - Shuttle cars are electric, rubber-tired vehicles used to transport coal from continuous miners to the main mine belt where self-contained chain conveyors in the shuttle cars unload the coal onto the belt. Some models of Joy shuttle cars can carry up to 20 metric tons of coal.

     Battery haulers - Battery haulers perform a similar function to shuttle cars. Shuttle cars are powered by electricity and battery haulers are powered by portable batteries.

     Continuous haulage systems - The continuous haulage system transports coal from the continuous miner to the main mine belts on a continuous basis versus the batch process used by shuttle cars and battery haulers. It is made up of a series of connected bridge structures that utilize chain conveyors that transport the coal from one bridge structure to the next bridge structure and ultimately to the main mine belts.

     Flexible conveyor trains (FCT) - FCT’s are electric powered, self-propelled conveyor systems that provide continuous haulage of coal from a continuous miner to the main mine belt. The coal conveyor operates independently from the track chain propulsion system, allowing the FCT to move and convey coal simultaneously. Available in lengths of up to 420 feet, the FCT is able to negotiate multiple 90-degree turns in an underground mine infrastructure.

     Roof bolters - Roof bolters are roof drills used to bore holes in the mine roof and to insert long metal bolts into the holes to prevent roof falls.

     Joy utilizes its aftermarket infrastructure to quickly and efficiently provides customers with high-quality parts, exchange components, repairs, rebuilds, whole machine exchanges and service. Joy’s cost-per-ton programs allow its customers to pay fixed prices for each ton of material mined in order to match equipment costs with revenues, to reduce capital requirements, and ensure quality aftermarket parts and services for the life of the contract.

     The Joy business has demonstrated cyclicality over the years. This cyclicality is driven primarily by product life cycles, new product introductions, competitive pressures and other economic factors affecting the mining industry such as commodity prices (particularly coal prices) and company consolidation in the coal mining industry.

Surface Mining Equipment

     P&H is the world’s largest producer of electric mining shovels and walking draglines and a leading producer of rotary blasthole drills for open-pit mining operations. In addition, P&H is a significant producer of large diameter blasthole drills and dragline bucket products. P&H has facilities in Canada, Australia, South Africa, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela and the United States, as well as sales offices in the United Kingdom, Russia, Mexico, Peru and the People’s Republic of China. P&H products are used in mines, quarries and earth moving operations in the digging and loading of copper, coal, iron ore, oil sands, gold, lead, zinc, bauxite, uranium, phosphate, stone, clay and other minerals and ores. P&H also is a major provider of manufacturing, repair and support services for the surface mining industry through its MinePro Services group.

Products and Services:

     Electric mining shovels - Mining shovels are primarily used to load copper ore, coal, iron ore, other mineral-bearing materials, overburden, or rock into trucks. There are two basic types of mining shovels, electric and hydraulic. Electric mining shovels are able to handle larger buckets, allowing them to load greater volumes of rock and minerals, while hydraulic shovels are smaller and more maneuverable. The electric mining shovel offers the lowest cost per ton of mineral mined. Its use is determined by size of operation and the availability of electricity. P&H manufactures only electric mining shovels. Buckets can range in size from 14 cubic yards up to 76 cubic yards.

     Walking draglines - Draglines are primarily used to remove overburden, which is the earth located over a coal or mineral deposit, by dragging a large bucket through the overburden, carrying it away and depositing it in a remote spoil pile. P&H’s draglines weigh from 500 to 7,500 tons, and are typically described in terms of their “bucket size” which can range from 30 to 160 cubic yards.

     Blasthole drills - Most surface mines require breakage or blasting of rock, overburden, or ore by explosives. To accomplish this, it is necessary to bore out a pattern of holes into which the explosives are placed. Rotary blasthole drills are used to drill these holes and are usually described in terms of the diameter of the hole they bore. For blasthole drills manufactured by P&H, the boreholes range in size from 8 5/8 inches in diameter to 22 inches in diameter.

     P&H also is a major provider of manufacturing, repair and support services for the surface mining industry through its MinePro Services group. P&H MinePro Services personnel are strategically located close to customers in major mining centers around the world to provide service, training, repairs, rebuilds, used equipment services, parts and enhancement kits. P&H maintains an extensive network of distribution centers.

     P&H has a relationship in the electric mining shovel business with Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Kobe”) pursuant to which P&H licenses Kobe to manufacture certain electric mining shovels and related replacement parts in Japan. P&H has the exclusive right to market Kobe-manufactured mining shovels and parts outside Japan. In addition, P&H is party to an agreement with a company in the People’s Republic of China licensing the manufacture and sale of two models of electric mining shovels and related components. This relationship provides P&H with an opportunity to sell component parts for shovels built in China.

     P&H’s businesses are subject to cyclical movements in the markets. Sales of original equipment are driven to a large extent by commodity prices. Rising commodity prices typically lead to the expansion of existing mines, opening of new mines or re-opening of less efficient mines. Increased mining activity often requires new machinery. Although the aftermarket segment is much less cyclical, severe reductions in commodity prices can result in removal of machines from mining production and, thus, dampen demand for parts and services. Conversely, significant increases in commodity prices can result in higher use of equipment and generate requirements for more parts and services.

Discontinued Operation

     On October 8, 1999, the Predecessor Company announced its plan to dispose of its pulp and paper machinery segment owned by Beloit Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Beloit”). The Predecessor Company classified Beloit as a discontinued operation in its Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 31, 1999. Most of Beloit’s assets were sold pursuant to Bankruptcy Court approved procedures prior to the Effective Date. The Predecessor Company’s equity interest in Beloit was transferred to a liquidating trust on the Effective Date.

Financial Information

     Financial information about our business segments and geographic areas of operation is contained in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Item 15 - Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K.

Employees

     As of November 2, 2002, we employed approximately 6,800 people with approximately 3,400 employed in the United States. Local unions represent approximately 1,900 of our U.S. employees under collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we maintain generally good relationships with our employees.

Competitive Conditions

     Joy and P&H conduct their domestic and foreign operations under highly competitive market conditions, requiring that their products and services be competitive in price, quality, service and delivery. The customers for these products are generally large international mining companies with substantial purchasing power.

     Joy’s continuous mining machinery, longwall shearers, continuous haulage equipment, roof supports and armored face conveyors compete with a number of worldwide manufacturers of such equipment. Joy’s rebuild services compete with a large number of local repair shops. Joy competes with various regional suppliers in the sale of replacement parts and services for Joy equipment.

     P&H’s shovels and draglines compete with similar products and with hydraulic excavators, large rubber-tired front-end loaders and bucket wheel excavators made by several international manufacturers. P&H’s large rotary blasthole drills compete with several worldwide drill manufacturers. P&H’s aftermarket services compete with a large number of primarily regional suppliers. Manufacturer location is not a significant advantage or disadvantage in this industry.

     Both Joy and P&H compete on the basis of providing superior productivity, reliability and service and lower overall cost of production to their customers. Both Joy and P&H compete with local and regional service providers in the provision of maintenance, rebuild and other services to mining equipment users.

Backlog

     Backlog represents unfilled customer orders for our products and services. The customer orders that are included in the backlog represent legal commitments by customers, who have satisfied our credit review procedures, to purchase specific products or services from us. The following table provides backlog by business segment as of the fiscal year end. These backlog amounts exclude all customer arrangements under long-term equipment life cycle management programs. These programs extend for up to thirteen years and totaled approximately $400 million as of November 2, 2002.

     The change in backlog for Underground Mining Machinery from October 31, 2001 to November 2, 2002 reflects a decrease in orders for continuous miners, while the increase in backlog for Surface Mining Equipment over the same period is associated with an increase in orders for electric mining shovels and an order for a walking dragline.

     The change in backlog from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2001 reflects an increase in orders for continuous miners for Underground Mining Machinery, while the decrease in Surface Mining Equipment is associated with a decrease in orders for electric mining shovels.

Raw Materials

     Joy purchases electric motors, gears, hydraulic parts, electronic components, forgings, steel, clutches and other components and raw material from outside suppliers. Although Joy purchases certain components and raw materials from a single source, alternative suppliers are available for all such items.

     P&H purchases raw and semi-processed steel, castings, forgings, copper and other materials from a number of suppliers. In addition, component parts, such as engines, bearings, controls, hydraulic components and a wide variety of mechanical and electrical items are purchased from a group of pre-qualified suppliers.

     In Fiscal 2002, we combined our purchases of certain significant categories of raw materials and components at Joy and P&H and established strategic partnerships with selected suppliers. After a comprehensive evaluation, approximately 80 suppliers were awarded Strategic Alliance relationships. These relationships were established to leverage the combined purchases of Joy and P&H, to raise the bar on supplier performance, and to pursue additional process improvement and cost reduction opportunities.

Patents and Licenses

     We own numerous patents and trademarks and have patent licenses from others relating to our respective products and manufacturing methods. Also, patent and trademark licenses are granted to others and royalties are received under most of these licenses. While we do not consider any particular patent or license or group of patents or licenses to be essential to our respective businesses, we consider our patents and licenses significant to the conduct of our businesses in certain product areas.

Research and Development

     We are strongly committed to research and development and pursue technological development through the engineering of new products and systems, the improvement and enhancement of licensed technology, and synergistic acquisitions of technology. Research and development expenses were $6.5 million, $2.8 million, $4.8 million and $6.5 million for Fiscal 2002, the 2001 Four Months, 2001 Eight Months and Fiscal 2000, respectively, not including application engineering.

Environmental, Health and Safety Matters

     Our domestic activities are regulated by federal, state and local statutes, regulations and ordinances relating to both environmental protection and worker health and safety. These laws govern current operations, require remediation of environmental impacts associated with past or current operations, and under certain circumstances provide for civil and criminal penalties and fines as well as injunctive and remedial relief. Our foreign operations are subject to similar requirements as established by their respective countries.

     We expend substantial managerial and financial resources in developing and implementing actions for continued compliance with these requirements. We believe that we have substantially satisfied these diverse requirements. Because these requirements are complex and, in many areas, rapidly evolving, there can be no guarantee against the possibility of sizeable additional costs for compliance in the future. However, these laws have not had, and are not presently expected to have, a material adverse effect on us.

     Our operations or facilities have been and may become the subject of formal or informal enforcement actions or proceedings for alleged noncompliance with either environmental or worker health and safety laws or regulations. Such matters have typically been resolved through direct negotiations with the regulatory agency and have typically resulted in corrective actions or abatement programs. However, in some cases, fines or other penalties have been paid.

Item 2. Properties

     As of November 2, 2002, the following principal properties of our operations were owned, except as indicated. Our worldwide corporate headquarters are currently housed in 10,000 square feet of leased space in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All of these properties are generally suitable for the operations currently conducted at them.

The warehouses in Hibbing, Johannesburg and Calama are owned; the others are leased. In addition, P&H leases sales offices throughout the United States and in principal surface mining locations in other countries.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

     The Company and certain of its present and former senior executives were named as defendants in a class action, captioned in re: Harnischfeger Industries, Inc. Securities Litigation, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on June 5, 1998. This action sought damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of a class of purchasers of our common stock, based principally on allegations that our disclosures with respect to certain contracts of Beloit Corporation, a former business unit, violated the federal securities laws. An order and final judgment approving the settlement of this matter was issued by the District Court on November 22, 2002. Our responsibility for the settlement is to be paid out of our available insurance.

     The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Beloit Corporation, purportedly suing in its own right and in the name and on behalf of Beloit Corporation, filed suit in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court on June 5, 2001 against certain present and former officers of the Company and Beloit Corporation seeking both money damages in excess of $300 million and declaratory relief. Among other things, the plaintiff alleges that the defendants should be held liable for “waste and mismanagement of Beloit’s assets”. Plaintiff also alleges that settlement agreements reached with certain former officers of the Company constituted fraudulent transfers and should be deemed null and void. The plaintiffs have agreed that any judgment will be limited to and satisfied out of our available insurance. Milwaukee County Court dismissed this matter on May 24, 2002. Plaintiff appealed this decision on July 8, 2002.

     The Beloit Liquidating Trust also filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court for reallocation and reimbursement of professional fees and intercompany expenses. We filed an expert report with the Bankruptcy Court indicating that the Beloit Liquidating Trust owes us additional monies for professional fees. Discovery in this matter is continuing.

     John G. Kling, purportedly on his own behalf and “in a representative capacity for the Harnischfeger Industries Employees’ Savings Plan”, filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on November 9, 2001, against certain of the Company’s present and former employees, officers and directors. This action seeks damages in an unspecified amount based, among other things, on allegations that the members of the Company’s Pension Investment Committee, the Pension Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and Fidelity Management Trust Company failed to properly discharge their fiduciary obligations under ERISA with respect to the “Harnischfeger Common Stock Fund” in the Harnischfeger Industries Employees’ Savings Plan. The individual defendants’ March 29, 2002 motion to dismiss this matter has not yet been acted on by the District Court.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are party to other litigation matters and claims that are normal in the course of their operations. Also, as a normal part of their operations, the Company’s subsidiaries undertake certain contractual obligations, warranties and guarantees in connection with the sale of products or services. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and favorable or unfavorable resolutions may affect the results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis, we believe that the results of the above noted litigation and other pending litigation will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in a number of proceedings and potential proceedings relating to environmental matters. Although it is difficult to estimate the potential exposure related to these environmental matters, we believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

See Item 1 - Business - Chapter 11 Filing and Emergence for information regarding our bankruptcy proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the last quarter of Fiscal 2002.

Executive Officers of the Company

     The following table shows certain information for each of the corporation’s executive officers, including position with the corporation and business experience. The executive officers of the Company are elected at the organizational meeting of the Board of Directors, which follows the annual meeting of the shareholders, and at other meetings as appropriate.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

      On June 7, 1999, the Company and substantially all of its domestic operating subsidiaries, including Beloit, Joy, and P&H, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Certain of the Company’s officers are also officers or directors of other subsidiaries of the Company that filed for reorganization under Chapter 11.

On January 15, 2001, Fansteel Inc., a company of which Mr. Roof is a director, announced that it filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As such, each of the Company’s executive officers has been associated with a corporation that filed a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws within the last five years.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

     Our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market on June 15, 2001 under the symbol “JOYG.” The following table sets forth the high bid and low asked prices for our common stock since it began trading on the Nasdaq:

     The Predecessor Company’s common stock was cancelled at the Effective Date. No dividends have been paid on the Successor Company stock. As of November 2, 2002, there were 241 shareholders of record.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

     The following table sets forth certain selected historical financial data on a consolidated basis. The selected consolidated financial data was derived from our Consolidated Financial Statements. The Fiscal 2001 data has been separated into the 2001 Four Months and Predecessor Company 2001 Eight Months. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting, the Successor Company’s financial statements are not comparable to those of the Predecessor Company. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2002, we amended our by-laws to adopt a 52- or 53-week fiscal year and changed our fiscal year-end date from October 31 to the Saturday nearest October 31. Beginning with the first quarter of Fiscal 2002, each of our fiscal quarters consists of 13 weeks, except for any fiscal years consisting of 53 weeks that will add one week to the first quarter. This change did not have a material effect on our revenue or results of operations for Fiscal 2002. Beloit was classified as a discontinued operaton by the Predecessor Company as of June 23, 2001 and October 31, 2000 and 1999 and, accordingly, the results of operations of prior years have been restated to reflect classifying the Beloit Segment as a discontinued operation. The balance sheet data has not been restated for 1998. The selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Item 8 -- Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Item 15 - Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

*Beloit was classified as a discontinued operation on October 31, 1999. The results of operations of prior years have been restated accordingly.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     As is more fully discussed in Note 1 - Reorganization and Emergence From Chapter 11 and Note 2 - Basis of Presentation in Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted fresh start accounting pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant’s Statement of Position 90-7, “Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code” (“SOP 90-7”), during the third quarter of Fiscal 2001 resulting in a change in the basis of accounting in our underlying assets and liabilities at the Effective Date. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company are not comparable. For purposes of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we have combined the actual results of operations for the Successor Company 2001 Four Months and the Predecessor Company 2001 Eight Months as Fiscal 2001 operating results in order to present a meaningful comparative analysis to current and prior fiscal years operating results. The Successor Company 2001 Four Months and the Predecessor Company 2001 Eight Months financial information are derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the basis in accounting differences, operating results of our Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000 were significantly impacted by items associated with the Predecessor Company bankruptcy, including extraordinary debt forgiveness, restructuring activities, pre-petition lawsuit settlements and other charges related to certain bankruptcy activities. Also, our Fiscal 2002 and 2001 Four Months were affected by charges relating to recognizing the effects of additional depreciation, amortization and cost of sales arising from the revaluation of our assets at the Effective Date.

2002 Compared with 2001

     The following table sets forth the Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001 net sales as derived from our Consolidated Statement of Operations:

     Net sales in Fiscal 2002 were approximately the same as net sales in Fiscal 2001. A $71.1 million increase in shipments in the Underground Mining Machinery segment was substantially offset by a $68.5 million decrease in net sales for Surface Mining Equipment.

     The increase in Underground Mining Machinery net sales in Fiscal 2002 was a result of an increase in new machine shipments and replacement parts sales partially offset by a decrease in component repairs. The improved new machine sales were due to higher sales of continuous miners, shuttle cars and roof supports in the United States and continuous miners into China and Australia. Aftermarket shipments in the United States were softer in Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001, particularly in the last two quarters of Fiscal 2002. This decrease was offset by strong parts sales into China. The mild winter and sluggish economy in the United States led to increased coal stockpiles and curtailment of coal production which adversely affected our aftermarket business. The growing population of Joy equipment in operation in China has resulted in higher levels of repair parts sales into that country.

     The decrease in Surface Mining Equipment net sales in Fiscal 2002 was due to a decrease in the shipment of new equipment, primarily electric mining shovels, while aftermarket parts and service sales remained flat. The decrease in electric mining shovels was due to the depressed market for copper, gold and coal, which resulted in lower new machine sales to North and South American, Australian and Pacific Rim customers. In the aftermarket, increased sales for replacement parts were achieved in North America, Australia and the Pacific Rim. However, these sales were offset by lower parts and service sales in the Southwestern United States and South America. In addition, the sale of refurbished electric mining shovels to customers served by our Australian operation benefited Fiscal 2001.

Operating Income

     The following table sets forth the elements of our Fiscal 2002 operating income (loss) as compared with Fiscal 2001. Actual operating results, as derived from our Consolidated Statement of Operations, have been adjusted to reflect the impacts of fresh start accounting charges, pre-petition lawsuit settlements, and restructuring and other special charges:

     The Fiscal 2002 fresh start accounting items consist of a $53.6 million charge for the increased fair value of inventory that was taken to cost of sales, $13.3 million of additional depreciation expense associated with the revalued property, plant and equipment, and $14.0 million of amortization expense related to the valuation of certain identifiable finite-lived intangible assets. The Fiscal 2001 fresh start accounting items consist of a $74.6 million charge for the increased fair value of inventory that was taken to cost of sales, $4.4 million of additional depreciation expense associated with the revalued property, plant and equipment, and $12.0 million of amortization expense related to the valuation of certain identifiable finite-lived intangible assets. Also included in the Fiscal 2001 adjustments to operating income was $6.2 million of amortization expense related to goodwill for the 2001 Eight Months. For comparative purposes, Fiscal 2001 operating income has been adjusted to eliminate goodwill amortization because we discontinued amortizing goodwill upon our emergence from bankruptcy in connection with adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

     The following discussion is based on adjusted operating income (loss) for Fiscal 2002 as compared with Fiscal 2001 as presented in the above table. Operating income decreased from $89.8 million in Fiscal 2001 to $65.8 million in Fiscal 2002. This decrease was the result of a $25.3 million decrease in operating profit for the Surface Mining Equipment business that was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in operating profit for the Underground Mining Machinery business.

     Operating profit for Underground Mining Machinery increased slightly in Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001. Favorable impacts included an increase in net sales in Fiscal 2002 and the elimination of the bonus provision due to the failure to meet the performance targets established for the 2002 fiscal year. These favorable impacts on earnings in Fiscal 2002 were partially offset by the unfavorable original equipment sales mix during Fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 included a larger percentage of roof support sales at lower than expected gross margin percentages, unfavorable manufacturing variances associated with the production of several roof support systems and the cost associated with executive management changes. The project management process associated with the fulfillment of roof support orders has been reviewed and the unfavorable performance in Fiscal 2002 is not expected to be repeated. In addition, during Fiscal 2002, the ongoing efforts to control operating costs allowed us to mitigate the impact of general inflation and the cost associated with the implementation of a strategic sourcing initiative, which initiative will benefit product cost in the future.

     The decrease in operating profit for Surface Mining Equipment was the result of a decrease in net sales in Fiscal 2002, a significant reduction in manufacturing absorption associated with the decrease in the production of new machines in this segment’s manufacturing facilities, and an increase in warranty costs. In addition, lower production volumes resulted in workforce reduction that increased severance and medical benefit costs at our Milwaukee manufacturing facility during Fiscal 2002. These unfavorable impacts on margins were partially offset by an improvement in the sales mix during Fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2002 as compared to Fiscal 2001 included a larger precentage of parts sales which carry a larger gross margin percentage.

Product Development, Selling and Administrative Expense

     Product development, selling and administrative expense for Fiscal 2002 was $198.8 million, after fresh start charges of $14.0 million, as compared to $209.8 million, after fresh start charges of $12.0 million, for Fiscal 2001. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in bonus accruals and savings due to cost reductions partially offset by an increase in pension expense and charges related to executive severance. After the elimination of fresh start charges, product development, selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales for Fiscal 2002 decreased to 17.3% as compared to 18.3% in Fiscal 2001.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense for Fiscal 2002 increased to $31.0 million as compared to $25.4 million after eliminating $14.9 million associated with pre-petition claims incurred in the Third Quarter of 2001 related to our emergence from bankruptcy, in Fiscal 2001. This increase was principally due to interest expense associated with the Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes and Credit Agreement included in Fiscal 2002 whereas Fiscal 2001 only included less than four months of interest for the Credit Agreement and Senior Notes. Cash interest paid in Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001 was $27.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

     Income tax benefit for Fiscal 2002 increased to $14.2 million as compared to $13.6 million in Fiscal 2001. This change was principally due to the reversal in Fiscal 2002 of certain deferred tax liabilities related to fresh start accounting adjustments, changes in the sources of earnings around the world and changes in statutory tax rates offset by a $35.0 million tax benefit in the 2001 Third Quarter from the adjustment of certain global income tax liabilities that was not repeated in Fiscal 2002.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits

     Pension expense for Fiscal 2002 was $2.7 million compared to pension income of $5.8 million in Fiscal 2001. This $8.5 million increase in pension expense is the result of the reduction of the discount rate assumption used in the United States for Fiscal 2002 and the reduction in the pension plan assets that have taken place over the past couple years. For the 2003 fiscal year we have reduced the return on asset assumption for the pension plans in the United States and the United Kingdom from 9.5% to 9.0% and 9.5% to 7.5%, respectively. These plans represented in excess of 98% of our total pension plan assets as of the end of Fiscal 2002. These return on asset assumptions are based primarily on the targeted investment asset mix and the expected rate of return on the individual components of the investment mix. As a result of the changes in assumptions and the decrease in the market value of the plan assets, we estimate that pension expense for the 2003 fiscal year will be approximately $13 million.

2001 Compared with 2000

Sales

     The following table sets forth the Fiscal 2001 and Fiscal 2000 net sales of the Company as derived from the Consolidated Statement of Operations:

     Net sales in Fiscal 2001 were 2.2% higher than net sales in 2000. A $60.2 million increase in shipments in the Underground Mining Machinery segment was partially offset by a $35.2 million decrease in net sales for Surface Mining Equipment.

     The increase in Underground Mining Machinery net sales in Fiscal 2001 was a result of a slight improvement in new machine shipments combined with strong performance for replacement parts sales and component repairs. The improved new machine sales were due primarily to the beginning of the recovery from the depressed markets for continuous miners and shuttle cars in the United States and South Africa, while the sales of longwall equipment remained at about the same level as Fiscal 2000. In the aftermarket, favorable results for replacement parts were achieved in the United States where coal producers saw an improvement in the price they received for their coal, and in the Chinese market, served out of the United Kingdom, where the mining equipment that has been placed over the last decade has begun to be rebuilt and to use replacement parts for the rebuilding process.

     The decrease in Surface Mining Equipment net sales in Fiscal 2001 was due to a decrease in the shipment of new equipment, primarily electric mining shovels, partially offset by an increase in replacement part sales. The decrease in electric mining shovels was due to the depressed market for copper and iron ore, which resulted in lower new machine sales to North and South American customers. In the aftermarket, increased sales for replacement parts were achieved in North and South America as equipment was rebuilt and sales of other equipment suppliers’ products continued to increase. In addition, the sale of refurbished electric mining shovels to customers served by the Australian operation benefited the 2001 fiscal year.

Operating income

     The following table sets forth the elements of Fiscal 2001 operating income (loss) of the Company as compared with Fiscal 2000. Actual operating results, as derived from the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, have been adjusted to reflect the impacts of fresh start accounting charges, pre-petition lawsuit settlements, and restructing and other special charges:

     The fresh start accounting charges in Fiscal 2001 consist of a $74.6 million charge for the increase to fair value of inventory that was taken to cost of sales, $4.4 million of additional depreciation expense associated with the revalued property, plant and equipment, and $12.0 million of amortization expense related to the valuation of certain identifiable finite-lived intangible assets. Also included in the adjustments to operating income was $6.2 million and $9.8 million of amortization expense related to goodwill for the 2001 Eight Months and Fiscal 2000, respectively. Since goodwill is no longer amortized, this expense is eliminated from operating income for comparative purposes.

     The following discussion is based on adjusted operating income (loss) for Fiscal 2001 as compared with Fiscal 2000 as presented in the above table. Operating income increased from $83.5 million in Fiscal 2000 to $89.8 million in Fiscal 2001. This improvement was the result of a $26.6 million increase in operating profit for the Underground Mining Machinery business that was largely offset by a $20.3 million decrease in operating profit for the Surface Mining Equipment business.

     The increase in operating profit for Underground Mining Machinery was due to an increase in net sales, a favorable sales mix that included a larger percentage of replacement parts sales, an increase in manufacturing overhead absorption, and continued benefits of cost reduction programs put in place over the last several years. The improvement in the sales mix, combined with the increase in manufacturing overhead absorption associated with an increase in manufacturing activities in this segment’s manufacturing facilities resulted in an increase in gorss profit percentage from 23.2% in Fiscal 2000 to 27.8% in Fiscal 2001. Despite a 10% increase in net sales and the impact of general inflation around the world, the Underground Mining Machinery business was able to limit the increase in spending for selling, engineering, and administrative expense to 1.3% in Fiscal 2001 compared to 2000.

     Operating profit for Surface Mining Equipment decreased from $58.8 million in Fiscal 2000 to $38.3 million in Fiscal 2001. This decrease was the result of the decrease in net sales, lower manufacturing overhead absorption, and a slight increase in administrative expense, all of which were partially offset by an improvement in sales mix to include a larger percentage of parts sales during Fiscal 2001 compared with Fiscal 2000. The benefits of the improvement in the sales mix were more than offset by the decrease in manufacturing overhead absorption associated with the decrease in the production of new machines in this segment’s manufacturing facilities and resulted in a decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales from 23.3% in Fiscal 2000 to 21.5% in Fiscal 2001. Administrative expense was slightly higher in Fiscal 2001 than in Fiscal 2000 due to initiatives associated with expanding distribution capabilities and a small charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 for headcount reductions which continued into Fiscal 2002.

     During the third quarter of 2001 the Company’s reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code was completed. As a result of emerging from Chapter 11, the 2001 Eight Months includes a number of charges and credits associated with the implementation of the POR and the application of fresh start accounting. The following table provides a summary of these charges and credits and the respective line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the 2001 Eight Months that were affected:

Future Effects of Fresh Start Accounting

     The charges reflected in our statement of operations related to the effects of fresh start accounting adjustments are non-cash items and, accordingly, do not affect the Company’s cash flows from operations. We estimate the effects of fresh start accounting on 2003 operating results will include charges of $13.3 million for depreciation of revalued property, plant and equipment and $8.1 million for amortization of finite-lived intangible assets. We estimate that total fresh start accounting charges in 2004 and several years thereafter will approximate $21 million annually. During Fiscal 2002, we reversed certain valuation and other excess tax (see Note 6 - Income Taxes). In accordance with the provisions of SOP 90-7, adjustment to the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets that existed as of the emergence date will first reduce any excess reorganization value until exhausted, then other intangibles until exhausted and thereafter will be reported as additional paid in capital. Intangible assets were allocated on a pro rata share based on their net carrying value at the date of valuation. Also during Fiscal 2002, unpatented technology was reviewed and deemed to have a finite life. This constitutes a change in accounting estimate and therefore, unpatented technology has been reclassified from indefinite-lived intangibles to definite-lived intangibles and will be amortized over its estimated useful life (see Note 4 - Excess Reorganization Value and Other Intangibles).

Income Taxes

     Due to our emergence from bankruptcy and the resulting impacts on pre and post-emergence operating results for the years covered by this report, an analysis of the overall effective income tax rates for the current and prior years and the major drivers of the tax rates would not be meaningful. Prior to Fiscal 2002, we determined that we did not meet the requirements that would allow us to record the future benefits of any net operating losses, tax credits or net deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes. As a result, we recorded valuation reserves to offset all future income tax benefits from these assets on a global basis. During Fiscal 2002, we reviewed this position and, based upon past, current and future operating performance, expectations and available tax strategies we have not provided full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets as of November 2, 2002. We have also released all non-U.S. deferred tax valuation reserves recorded at the end of Fiscal 2001, except for those of the Australian business segments described above, as we have concluded th
