AGCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation
and subsidiaries (the "Company" or "AGCO") included herein have been prepared
by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are
of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods
presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Interim results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include,
on a separate, supplemental basis, the Company's Equipment Operations and its
Finance Company. "Equipment Operations" reflect the consolidation of all
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries with the exception of Agricredit
Acceptance Company ("Agricredit"), a wholly-owned finance subsidiary, which is
included using the equity method of accounting. The results of operations of
Agricredit are included under the caption "Finance Company." All significant
intercompany transactions, including activity within and between the Equipment
Operations and Finance Company, have been eliminated to arrive at the
"Consolidated" financial statements. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

2. CHARGES FOR NONRECURRING EXPENSES

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996
included a charge for nonrecurring expenses of $5,923,000, or $0.07 per common
share on a fully diluted basis, related to the further restructuring of the
International Operations which was acquired in the Massey Acquisition in June
1994.

The nonrecurring charge included costs associated with the
centralization of certain parts warehousing, administrative, sales and
marketing functions. The $5,923,000 nonrecurring charge recorded through March
31, 1996 included $4,763,000 for employee related costs, consisting primarily
of severance costs, and $1,160,000 for other nonrecurring costs. Included in
the $4,763,000 of employee related costs are $421,000 of payroll costs incurred
through March 31, 1996 for personnel that have been terminated or will be
terminated in future periods. Of the total $5,923,000 charge, $2,394,000 had
been incurred at March 31, 1996. The remaining accrual of $3,529,000 consists
of employee severance costs which relate to the planned reduction of 86
employees, of which 34 employees had been terminated at March 31, 1996.


The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995
included a charge for nonrecurring expenses of $2,012,000, or $0.02 per common
share on a fully diluted basis, which was a portion of the Company's
$19,500,000 charge recorded through December 31, 1995 primarily related to the
initial integration and restructuring of the International Operations. The





6
7


nonrecurring charge for the three months ended March 31, 1995 included
$1,504,000 for employee severance and $508,000 for certain data processing
expenses. Substantially all of the costs associated with the $19,500,000
charge recorded through December 31, 1995 have been incurred.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consisted of the following at March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 (in thousands):
<TABLE>

Senior subordinated notes 247,851 --
-------- --------
$967,726 $892,712
======== ========
</TABLE>



In March 1996, the Company issued $250,000,000 of 8 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") at 99.139% of their par value. The
Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and are redeemable at the option
of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2001
initially at 104.25% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest,
declining ratably to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest, on
or after March 15, 2003. The Notes include certain covenants, including
covenants restricting the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain
restrictive payments, including dividends. The net proceeds from the sale of
the Notes were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Company's
$550.0 million revolving credit facility.

In March 1996, the Company replaced its $550.0 million secured
revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility") with a five-year $650.0
million unsecured credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"). Aggregate
borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing
base limitation and may not at any time exceed the sum of 90% of eligible
accounts receivable and 60% of eligible inventory. Interest will accrue on

borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Facility primarily at LIBOR
plus an applicable margin, as defined. The New Credit Facility contains
certain covenants, including covenants restricting the incurrence of
indebtedness and the making of certain restrictive payments, including
dividends. In addition, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants
including, among others, a debt to capitalization ratio, an interest coverage
ratio and a ratio of debt to cash flow, as defined. At March 31, 1996,
$214,682,000 was outstanding under the New Credit Facility and available
borrowings were $425,768,000.

4. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

During the first quarter of 1996, as part of the refinancing of the
Old Credit Facility with the New Credit Facility, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss of $3.5 million, net of tax, for the write-off of
unamortized debt costs related to the Old Credit Facility.

5. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In June 1995, the Company exchanged all of its outstanding 2,674,534
depositary shares (the "Exchange"), each representing 1/10 of a share of $16.25
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"),
into $66,848,000 of its 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2008 (the
"Convertible Subordinated Debentures"). The effect of this transaction
resulted in a reduction to stockholders' equity and an increase to liabilities
in the amount of $66,848,000. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures are
convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 157.85 shares of common stock
for each $1,000 principal amount of the debentures. In addition, on or after
June 1, 1996, the Convertible Subordinated Debentures may be redeemed at the
option of the Company initially at an amount equivalent to $1,045.50 per $1,000
principal amount of the debentures and thereafter at prices declining to an
amount equivalent to the face amount of the debentures on or after June 1,
2003, plus all accrued and unpaid interest. During the first quarter of 1996,
$7,632,000 of Convertible Subordinated Debentures were converted at the option
of the holder into 1,203,626 shares of the Company's common stock.

In April 1996, the Company announced its election, effective June 1,
1996, to redeem all of its outstanding Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
The redemption price will be 104.55% of the principal amount of the Convertible
Subordinated Debentures. The Convertible Subordinated Debentures may be
converted into the Company's common stock through the redemption date.

6. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Primary net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
available for common stockholders (net income less preferred stock dividend
requirements) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares include shares
issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. Fully diluted
net income per common share assumes (i) conversion of the Convertible
Subordinated Debentures into common stock after the Exchange and the
elimination of interest expense related to the Convertible Subordinated
Debentures, net of applicable income taxes and (ii) the conversion of the
Preferred Stock into common stock and the elimination of the preferred stock
dividend requirements prior to the Exchange.

7. INVENTORIES

Inventories consist primarily of farm tractors, combines, implements,
hay and forage equipment and service parts and are valued at the lower of cost
or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Market is net
realizable value for finished goods and repair and replacement parts. For work
in process, production parts and raw materials, market is replacement cost.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 30, 1996, the Company executed a Letter of Intent with
Iochpe-Maxion, S.A. ("Maxion"), a Brazilian company, in which the Company
agreed to purchase substantially all of the net assets of the agricultural
equipment business of Maxion for $260 million, subject to certain adjustments
(the "Maxion Acquisition"). The Maxion Acquisition is planned to be financed
with borrowings under the New Credit Facility. The closing of the Maxion
Acquisition is anticipated to occur by the end of the second quarter of 1996
and is subject to obtaining certain approvals and consents and other customary
conditions.

Maxion is the licensee for Massey Ferguson branded products
distributed in Brazil. Maxion is a leading manufacturer and distributor of
agricultural tractors and combines and industrial loader-backhoes in Brazil.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company's operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the
agricultural industry. Sales of the Company's equipment have been affected by
changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, the
demand for agricultural commodities and general economic conditions. The
Company's operations are expected to be subject to such conditions in the
future. Sales are recorded by the Company when equipment and replacement parts
are shipped by the Company to its independent dealers. To the extent possible,
the Company attempts to ship products on a level basis throughout the year to
reduce the effect of seasonal demands on its manufacturing operations and to
minimize its investment in inventory. Retail sales by dealers to farmers
("settlements") are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the
planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, the Company's net sales and
operating results have historically been the lowest in the first quarter and
have increased in the second and third quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME

The Company recorded net income for the three months ended March 31,
1996 of $17.1 million compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. Net income per common share on a fully diluted basis was $0.31
for the first quarter of 1996 compared to $0.42 for the same period in 1995.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 included nonrecurring
expenses of $5.9 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis, related
to the further restructuring of the Company's International Operations and an
extraordinary after-tax charge of $3.5 million, $0.06 per share, for the
write-off of unamortized debt costs related to the refinancing of the revolving
credit facility for the Company's Equipment Operations (see "Liquidity and
Capital Resources"). Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995
included nonrecurring expenses of $2.0 million, or $0.02 per share on a fully
diluted basis, related to the Massey Acquisition (see "Charges for Nonrecurring
Expenses"). Excluding nonrecurring expenses and the extraordinary after-tax
charge, the improved results in 1996 reflected sales growth in existing product
lines and improved operating efficiencies.

RETAIL SALES

Conditions in the United States and Canadian agricultural markets
continue to be positive in 1996 compared to 1995. Industry unit retail sales
of tractors and hay and forage equipment for the three months ended March 31,
1996 increased 5% and 14%, respectively, over the same period in 1995, while
unit retail sales of combines decreased 5% compared to the prior year. The
Company believes the increase in the tractor market was primarily due to
favorable economic conditions relating to high net cash farm incomes and strong
commodity prices, and industry hay and forage equipment retail sales were
higher than the prior year primarily due to aggressive retail financing
programs of the Company's major competitors. Additionally, the Company
believes the decrease in industry combine retail sales is not necessarily
indicative of the full year outlook because it is currently not the primary
selling season.





10
11



Company unit settlements of tractors in the United States and Canada
for the first quarter of 1996 increased significantly compared to 1995. The
increase in tractor settlements was attributable to the favorable industry
conditions as well as the impact of the Company's expanded dealer network,
which resulted primarily from dealers entering into crossover contracts whereby
an existing dealer carrying one of the Company's brands contracts to sell an
additional AGCO brand. In addition, the Company benefited from the successful
acceptance of improved tractor product offerings, including the new Massey
Ferguson high horsepower tractors which were introduced in the middle of 1995.
Company unit settlements of combines decreased slightly more than the industry
primarily due to the timing of custom harvester sales which were planned later
in 1996 compared to 1995. Company unit settlements of hay and forage equipment
were below the prior year primarily due to the Company choosing not to match
the aggressive retail financing programs of its major competitors.

Industry conditions in Western Europe continue to be favorable with
retail sales of tractors increasing approximately 7% for the first quarter of
1996 compared to the prior year primarily due to improved economic conditions
and strong export demand for commodities. Retail sales of Massey Ferguson
tractors outperformed the industry by increasing approximately 25% over 1995.
The Company experienced the most significant increases in the United Kingdom,
France, Spain and Scandinavia due to the Company's focus on dealer development
and the continued success of the new Massey Ferguson high horsepower tractors.
Outside North America and Western Europe, industry retail sales of tractors
also showed gains in many markets where the Company competes due to a general
improvement in economic conditions. Retail sales of Massey Ferguson tractors
were relatively flat compared to 1995; however, the Company had strong market
share gains in many markets, particularly in the Middle East and Africa.

REVENUES

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $470.7
million, representing an increase of $14.5 million or 3.2% over total revenues
of $456.2 million for the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily
attributable to sales from the International Operations, which generated
increased net sales of $29.6 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the
prior year. This increase primarily related to the strong retail sales of the
new Massey Ferguson high horsepower tractors. This increase for the
International Operations was partially offset by a net sales decrease of $19.2
million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 related to the Company's
North American Operations. This decrease was primarily due to the timing of
delivery of certain tractors sourced from certain European suppliers. Total
revenues also increased for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same
period of 1995 due to an increase in finance income of $4.1 million associated
with the operations of Agricredit. The increase in finance income was
primarily due to the growth in Agricredit's credit receivable portfolio as a
result of Agricredit's increased penetration into the Company's dealer network.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of goods sold of the Company's Equipment Operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was $360.1 million, or 79.3% of net sales, compared
to $350.3 million, or 79.0% of net sales, for the same period in 1995. Gross
profit, defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, was $93.7 million (20.7%
of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $93.2
million (21.0% of net sales) for the same period of the prior year. Gross
margins were negatively impacted by a change in the mix of machinery sales
compared to the





11
12


prior year as a result of the timing of shipments of certain high margin
tractors to the North American Operations from certain European suppliers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 were $49.4 million (10.5% of total revenues) compared to
$46.8 million (10.3% of total revenues) for the same period last year. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
total revenues was primarily due to the amortization of stock-based
compensation expense related to the Company's long-term incentive plan, which
was $3.4 million higher than the prior year as a result of the increase in the
Company's stock price in 1995. This increase was slightly offset by lower
operating expenses as a percentage of total revenues related to Agricredit.
Excluding Agricredit and the amortization related to the long-term incentive
plan, the Company's Equipment Operations had selling, general and
administrative expenses of $41.8 million (9.2% of net sales) and $42.3 million
(9.5% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to
the cost reduction efforts in the Company's International Operations.

Engineering expenses for the Company's Equipment Operations were $7.0
million (1.5% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared
to $5.9 million (1.3% of net sales) for the same period in 1995. The increase
as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the timing of engineering
expenses related to the development of a new Massey Ferguson utility tractor
line.

Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
$15.1 million compared to $15.3 million for the same period in the prior year.
The decrease in interest expense, net resulted from lower interest rates and
lower average borrowings in addition to higher interest income relating to the
Company's Equipment Operations. This decrease was partially offset by
increased interest expense, net relating to Agricredit due to the additional
borrowings associated with the increase in the credit receivable portfolio and
an increase in the rates charged on outstanding borrowings.

Other expense, net was $2.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1996 compared to $0.6 million for the same period in 1995. The increase in
other expense, net was primarily due to foreign exchange losses in the
International Operations.

Nonrecurring expenses were $5.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
1995. The nonrecurring charge recorded in 1996 related to the further
restructuring of the International Operations which was acquired in the Massey
Acquisition in June 1994. The nonrecurring charge recorded in 1995 primarily
related to costs associated with the initial integration and restructuring of
the International Operations. See "Charges for Nonrecurring Expenses" for
further discussion.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $10.9 million and
$12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
For both periods, the Company paid income taxes at rates below statutory rates
due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. Due to the
availability of net operating loss carryforwards acquired in the Massey
Acquisition, the Company expects to continue paying taxes at effective rates
substantially below statutory rates in the near future.





12
13


Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.8 million
and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The increase in equity in net earnings of unconsolidated
affiliates related to the Company's pro-rata share in net earnings of its 49%
interest in Massey Ferguson Finance, which provides retail financing to end
users in the United Kingdom, France and Germany.

FINANCE COMPANY OPERATIONS

Agricredit, the Company's wholly owned finance subsidiary, recorded
net income of $2.7 and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Retail acceptances were approximately $73.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and $53.9 million for the same period
in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of Agricredit's
penetration into the Company's dealer network and its continued growth in the
Canadian market, where Agricredit began servicing dealers in late 1994.

The Company is currently holding preliminary discussions with
Cooperatieve Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank Nederland" ("Rabobank"),
regarding a possible sale of a 51% interest in Agricredit to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Rabobank (the "Agricredit Joint Venture"). The Agricredit Joint
Venture would continue the current business of Agricredit and seek to build a
broader asset-based finance business through the addition of other lines of
business. The Company has similar joint venture arrangements with Rabobank and
its affiliates with respect to its retail finance companies located in the
United Kingdom, France and Germany. There are no agreements (other than a
customary confidentiality agreement), arrangements or understandings between
the parties with respect to the proposed joint venture, and there can be no
assurance that the parties will enter into definitive agreements or that the
transaction will be consummated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's financing requirements for its Equipment Operations are
subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and dealer
receivable levels. In March 1996, the Company replaced its $550 million
secured revolving credit facility (the "Old Credit Facility") with a five-year
$650 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility")
(see Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
The New Credit Facility is the Company's primary source of financing for its
Equipment Operations and provides increased borrowing capacity over the Old
Credit Facility. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility may not exceed the
sum of 90% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible inventory. As
receivables and inventories fluctuate, borrowings under the New Credit Facility
fluctuate as well. As of March 31, 1996, approximately $214.7 million was
outstanding under the New Credit Facility and available borrowings were
approximately $425.8 million. If consummated, the Maxion Acquisition will be
financed by borrowings under the New Credit Facility (see Note 8 of the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

In March 1996, the Company issued $250.0 million of 8 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes") at 99.139% of their par value (see
Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The
net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to repay outstanding
indebtedness under the Old Credit Facility. The sale of the Notes provided the
Company with subordinated capital and replaced a portion of its floating rate
debt with longer term fixed rate debt.

The Company's finance subsidiary, Agricredit, obtains funds from a
$545.0 million revolving credit agreement (the "Agricredit Revolving Credit
Agreement") to finance its credit receivable portfolio. Borrowings under the
Agricredit Revolving Credit Agreement are based on the amount and quality of
outstanding credit receivables and are generally issued for terms with
maturities matching anticipated credit receivable liquidations. As the credit
receivable portfolio fluctuates, borrowings under the Agricredit Revolving
Credit Agreement fluctuate as well. As of March 31, 1996, approximately $505.2
million was outstanding under the Agricredit Revolving Credit Agreement and
available borrowings were approximately $34.6 million. Funding of new
borrowings under the Agricredit Revolving Credit Agreement expires on June 30,
1997.





13
14


In April 1996, the Company announced its election, effective June 1,
1996, to redeem all of its outstanding 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
due 2008 (the "Convertible Subordinated Debentures") (see Note 5 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The redemption price will be
104.55% of the principal amount of the Convertible Subordinated Debentures.
The Convertible Subordinated Debentures may be converted into the Company's
common stock through the redemption date. The Company expects the majority of
the Convertible Subordinated Debentures to be converted into the Company's
common stock prior to redemption by the Company.

The Company's working capital requirements for its Equipment
Operations are somewhat seasonal, with investments in working capital typically
building in the first and second quarters and then reducing in the third and
fourth quarters. As of March 31, 1996, the Company's Equipment Operations had
$751.3 million of working capital, an increase of $89.8 million over working
capital of $661.5 million as of December 31, 1995. The increase in working
capital was primarily due to normal seasonal requirements, particularly in
inventories.

Cash flow used for operating activities was $47.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $84.5 million for the same
period last year. The decrease in cash flow used for operating activities was
primarily due to the reduction in the first quarter of 1996 of unusually high
accounts receivable levels in the International Operations at December 31, 1995
which resulted from significantly higher sales in late 1995 than in late 1994.
This impact on cash flow was offset to some extent by increases in cash flow
used for working capital requirements for inventories and payables.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of 1996 were $5.5
million compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 1995. The Company
currently anticipates that additional capital expenditures for the remainder of
1996 will range from approximately $35.0 million to $45.0 million and will
primarily be used to support the development and enhancement of new and
existing products.

Agricredit's credit receivable originations exceeded credit receivable
payments by $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
increase in Agricredit's credit receivable portfolio will result in increased
finance income in future periods. The credit receivable originations were
financed through additional borrowings under the Agricredit Revolving Credit
Agreement.

In April 1996, the Company's board of directors declared a common
stock dividend of $0.01 per share for the first quarter of 1996. The
declaration and payment of future dividends will be at the sole discretion of
the board of directors and will depend upon the Company's results of
operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects,
limitations imposed by the Company's credit facilities and other factors deemed
relevant by the Company's board of directors.

The Company believes that available borrowings under the New Credit
Facility, the Agricredit Revolving Credit Agreement, available cash and
internally generated funds will be sufficient to support its working capital,
capital expenditures, credit receivable originations and debt service
requirements for the foreseeable future.

The Company from time to time reviews and will continue to review
acquisition and joint venture opportunities as well as changes in the capital
markets. If the Company were to consummate a significant acquisition or elect
to take advantage of favorable opportunities in the capital markets, the
Company may supplement availability or revise the terms under its credit
facilities or complete public or private offerings of equity or debt
securities.

CHARGES FOR NONRECURRING EXPENSES

The Company identified approximately $12.0 million of nonrecurring
expenses related to the further restructuring of the Company's International
Operations, acquired in June 1994 as a result of the Massey Acquisition. The
Company recorded $5.9 million during the first quarter of 1996 to recognize a
portion of these costs. These costs primarily related to the centralization of
certain parts warehousing, administrative, sales and marketing functions (see
Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The
Company expects to record the remaining $6.1 million of nonrecurring expenses
in 1996 and to complete the restructuring by mid-1997. Savings from the
further restructuring of the International Operations are expected to result
primarily from reduced selling, general and administrative expenses primarily
relating to the Company's parts warehousing, finance, dealer communications,
sales and marketing functions. While the Company believes that cost savings
from its restructuring plan can be attained, there can be no assurance that all
objectives of the restructuring will be achieved.

In the first quarter of 1995, the Company recorded nonrecurring
expenses of $2.0 million which was a portion of the Company's $19.5 million
charge recorded through December 31, 1995 primarily related to the initial
integration and restructuring of the International Operations. These costs
primarily related to the centralization and rationalization of the International
Operations' administrative, sales, and marketing functions. Substantially all
of the costs associated with the $19.5 million charge recorded through December
31, 1995 have been incurred.
