ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On December 12, 2001, Allis-Chalmers Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated the sale of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Houston Dynamic Service, Inc. (“HDS”), to Clayton Lau (the “Buyer”), the general manager of HDS, in a management buy-out. Under the terms of the sale, the Company received a promissory note from the buyer in the amount of $930,000 due on November 30, 2007, secured by certain HDS equipment. HDS assigned to the Company the HDS accounts receivable and the Company assumed the obligation to pay the HDS accounts payable and the outstanding balance on a revolving line of credit in the amount of $375,000. A loss on the sale of approximately $1 million resulting from the sale will be recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

     In conjunction with the sale of HDS, the Company formally discontinued the operations related to precision machining of rotating equipment, which was the principal HDS business.

     As part of the overall corporate strategy to focus on its core business of providing services to the oil and gas industry and to increase shareholder value, the Company intends to sell or license its worldwide rights to patents, tradenames and logos for products and services outside the energy sector.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     On December 12, 2001, Allis-Chalmers Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated the sale of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Houston Dynamic Service, Inc. (“HDS”), to Clayton Lau (the “Buyer”), the general manager of HDS, in a management buy-out. Under the terms of the sale, the Company received a promissory note from the buyer in the amount of $930,000 due on November 30, 2007, secured by certain HDS equipment. HDS assigned to the Company the HDS accounts receivable and the Company assumed the obligation to pay the HDS accounts payable and the outstanding balance on a revolving line of credit in the amount of $375,000. A loss on the sale of approximately $1 million resulting from the sale will be recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2001.

     In conjunction with the sale of HDS, the Company formally discontinued the operations related to precision machining of rotating equipment, which was the principal HDS business.

     As part of the overall corporate strategy to focus on its core business of providing services to the oil and gas industry and to increase shareholder value, the Company intends to sell or license its worldwide rights to patents, tradenames and logos for products and service outside the energy sector.

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements illustrate the effects of the disposition of HDS on the Company’s results of operations and financial position. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are based on the historical statements of operations and assume that the disposition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of financial position as of September 30, 2001 is based on the unaudited historical statement of financial position of the Company and assumes that the disposition took place on that date. The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 are not presented because HDS operations were not included in the historical statements.

     Certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our (audited) financial statements in the September 25,2001 proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and unaudited interim financial statements), including notes thereto and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q previously filed with the SEC.

ALLIS-CHALMERS CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the historical financial statements of the Company:

        a)    On May 9, 2001, OilQuip Rentals, Inc. (“OilQuip”) merged into a subsidiary of Allis-Chalmers Corporation. In the merger, all of OilQuip’s outstanding common stock was converted into Allis-Chalmers’ common stock. For legal purposes, Allis-Chalmers acquired OilQuip. However, for accounting purposes OilQuip was treated as the acquiring company in a reverse acquisition of Allis-Chalmers. The financial statements prior to the merger are the financial statements of OilQuip. As a consequence, the operations of HDS prior to May 9, 2001 are not included in the historical operations of the Company on the attached pro forma statements of operations.
 
        b)    HDS assets and liabilities sold in the HDS sale transaction.
 
        c)    Intangible asset written off as a result of the HDS sale transaction.
 
        d)    Promissory note received in exchange for the HDS assets and liabilities.
 
        e)    Reserve in the amount of $300,000 for employment contracts related to the HDS operations. The Company will continue to make payments under the terms of these contracts.
 
        f)    Pro forma loss that would have been recorded if the HDS sale transaction had occurred on September 30, 2001.
 
        g)    Removal of revenues and expense related to the HDS operations sold.
