To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Terex Corporation and Affiliates'
401(k) Retirement Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates' 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in 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. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

TEREX CORPORATION AND AFFILIATES'
401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The following description of the Terex Corporation and Affiliates'
         401(k) Retirement Saving 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 defined contribution plan that covers certain
         salaried and non-union hourly employees of Terex Corporation and its
         subsidiaries ("Terex" or the "Company") meeting minimum eligibility
         requirements. Certain officers of Terex serve as trustees of the Plan
         (the "Trustees"). The investments of the Plan are held by Fidelity
         Management Trust Company ("Fidelity") and Massachusetts Mutual Life
         Insurance Company ("MassMutual").

         The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
         Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         An Administrative Committee, consisting of at least three members
         appointed by the Company's Board of Directors, administers the benefit
         structure of the Plan. The Company is considered the Plan Administrator
         for purposes of ERISA.

         Participant Eligibility - Permanent employees may begin participation
         on the first day of the month following their hiring.

         Participant Contributions - Participants may contribute a maximum of
         20% of their compensation to the Plan in any combination of pre-tax or
         post-tax earnings. The maximum pre-tax contribution permitted under the
         Internal Revenue Service regulations in 2001 was $10,500. There is no
         limit to post-tax contributions. Participants are able to direct
         current contributions and redistribute accumulated contributions and
         earnings between investment funds.

         Employer Contributions - The Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of
         base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The
         matching Company contribution is invested directly in Terex common
         stock.

         Vesting - Participants are immediately fully vested in their voluntary
         contributions plus any actual earnings thereon. Participants vest in
         the employer contribution after one year of eligible service.

         Forfeitures - Nonvested employer contributions of employees that have
         separated from the Company become forfeitures and are held in a
         separate account and shall be used to reduce future employer
         contributions. However, employees that return to service within five
         years from their separation date will be entitled to continue vesting
         on the employer contributions which were previously forfeited.

         Allocation of Earnings - Each participant's account is credited with
         contributions and an allocation of earnings from the respective
         investment funds. A participant's contributions are used to purchase
         shares in the various investment funds. The value of and the earnings
         credited to a participant's account are based on the proportionate
         number of shares owned by the participant and the fair value of the
         investment on the valuation date.

         Payment of Benefits - Upon retirement, disability or death, the entire
         balance of the participant's account becomes payable to the participant
         or designated beneficiary. Upon any other termination of employment,
         the participant receives the vested portion of his/her account;
         however, if the vested portion of the participant's account is greater
         than $3,500 he/she can elect to keep the investments in the Plan.
         Withdrawals are also permitted for financial hardship, as defined in
         the Plan, or upon attainment of age 59-1/2.

         Participant Loans - Participants may obtain loans in an amount up to
         the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the vested portion of their account
         balance, subject to the discretion of the Plan Administrator and
         certain other restrictions. Terms of all loans are established by the
         Plan Administrator.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Change in Investment Manager - On February 1, 2000, the Plan was
         amended to change the investment manager of the Plan to Fidelity from
         MassMutual. Except for certain amounts invested in Guaranteed
         Investment Contracts ("GICs"), all funds held by MassMutual were
         transferred to Fidelity.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been
         prepared on the accrual basis.

         Investments - Plan investments in mutual funds, common stock and
         participant loans are stated at fair value based on published market
         prices or other independent sources. The GICs are stated at contract
         value which approximates fair value. Net appreciation (depreciation) in
         aggregate fair value of investments is comprised of all realized and
         unrealized gains and losses during the year.

         Expenses - Fees and expenses related to administering the Plan are
         generally paid by Terex.

         Withdrawals - Withdrawals are recognized at the time of distribution to
         the participant.

         Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.       INVESTMENTS

         The following presents the investments that represent 5 percent of more
         of the Plan's net assets:



                                                                        December 31,

                                                                     2001          2000
                                                               -------------  --------------
           Plan's interest in the Terex Corporation 401(k)
                                                                        
               Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust            $ 51,008,243   $ 51,261,267



         During 2001, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on
         investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year)
         depreciated in value by $42,113 as follows:

            Mutual Funds                                       $    42,113


4.       INVESTMENT IN MASTER TRUST

         The Plan's assets are held in a trust account at Fidelity and consist
         of an interest in the Terex Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
         Master Trust (the "Master Trust"). The Master Trust was established to
         permit the commingling of the trust assets for similar employee benefit
         plans sponsored by the Company. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the
         Plan's interest in the net asset of the Master Trust was approximately
         89.4% and 89.4%, respectively.

         Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by Fidelity to
         each participant account balance. Net earnings include interest income,
         dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
         Contributions, benefit payments and expenses are made on a specific
         identification basis.

         The Master Trust has an interest in a benefit-responsive investment
         contract which is valued at contract value as determined by MassMutual,
         the holder of the contract. The contract value at December 31, 2001 and
         2000 was $8,808,370 and $8,309,783, respectively. The contract value
         represents contributions made under contract, plus earnings, less
         participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may
         ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of the
         investment at contract value. The guaranteed annual interest rate is 6
         percent.

5.       NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

         The Company's contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Terex
         Corporation Common Stock. Fidelity holds all Terex common stock in one
         investment account and does not segregate employer and employee
         purchased common stock activity. As a result, all Plan investments in
         Terex common stock are considered nonparticipant-directed. Information
         about the net assets and the significant components of the changes in
         net assets relating to the nonparticipant-directed investments is as
         follows:

6.       PARTY-IN-INTEREST

         Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds and are managed by
         Fidelity. Fidelity also serves as a custodian and, therefore, these
         transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by
         the Plan for the investment management services amounts to $25,293 for
         the year ended December 31, 2001.

7.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Plan received a determination letter, dated July 31, 1995, that it
         met the qualification requirements of Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of the
         Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC") and that the Plan is exempt from
         federal income taxation. Subsequently, the Plan has been amended. The
         Plan Administrator believes that the Plan, as amended, continues to be
         qualified and exempt from tax under Sections 401(c) and 401(k) of the
         IRC.

8.       TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

         The Company believes that the Plan will continue without interruption
         but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event that such
         discontinuance results in the complete or partial termination of the
         Plan, the balance in each participant's account will be distributed as
         directed by the Trustees.
