PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Terex Corporation (the “Company”) completed its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, including a restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2000-2003, on February 17, 2006 and filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 on the same date. This effort required the Company to devote a significant amount of resources to completing the 2004 financial statements and restating prior years, and, as a result, the Company has not yet been able to complete its interim consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 and its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company is currently in the process of completing such financial statements and will file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005, June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 as soon as they are completed, which the Company anticipates will be in the near future. Once these reports are filed, the Company will file its Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as soon thereafter as possible.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, management concluded that due to the existence of material weaknesses, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of  December 31, 2004. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005.  However, the Company expects to report in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2005 and, furthermore, that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2005.
