NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Park-Ohio," "the Company"). Park-Ohio is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. as of June 10, 1998. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual

NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION
 
     During April 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Direct
Fasteners Limited ("Direct") located in Ontario, Canada. The transaction was
accounted for as a purchase. Direct is a distributor of fasteners. The aggregate
purchase price and the results of operations of Direct prior to the date of
acquisition were not material to the Company.
 
     During September 1998, the Company completed the sale of the assets of
Friendly and Safe Packaging Systems, Inc. to Kerr Group. The transaction had an
immaterial effect on the consolidated results of operation and financial
position of the Company.
 
     During October 1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of GIS
Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). The transaction has been accounted for as a
purchase. Gateway is a distributor of fasteners and a manufacturer of fabricated

Company.
 
     During 1999, the Company acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy
Corporation ("Metalloy") and substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw
and Bolt ("St. Louis Screw") and PMC Industries, Inc. ("PMC") for cash. Metalloy

      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- CONTINUED
 
NOTE D -- CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
 
     At the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
("Park-Ohio") held on May 28, 1998, the shareholders of Park-Ohio approved an
agreement of Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated February 20, 1998 by and among
Park-Ohio, PKOH Holding Corp. ("Holdings") and PKOH Merger Corp. ("Merger
Corp.") providing for a reorganization of Park-Ohio into a holding company form
of ownership with Holdings as its sole parent. On June 10, 1998, Holdings
amended and restated its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized
shares from 100 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, to 40,000,000
shares of common stock and 632,470 shares of preferred stock, all $1.00 par
value per share, and changed its name from PKOH Holding Corp. to Park-Ohio
Holdings Corp. Effective as of the close of business on June 15, 1998, Merger
Corp. was merged with and into Park-Ohio upon the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) all of the shares of
Park-Ohio's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger
were converted into an equal number of shares of Holdings' common stock (on a
share-for-share basis), (ii) all of the shares of Merger Corp.'s common stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted into 100
shares of Park-Ohio's common stock and (iii) all of the shares of Holdings'
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were
canceled.
 
     Prior to the Merger, there was no public market for Holdings' common stock,
and Park-Ohio's common stock was listed for trading on the NASDAQ National
Market under the symbol "PKOH". Upon the opening of the market after the
effective time of the Merger: (i) Holdings' common stock was registered under
Section 12 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and was listed for trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol
"PKOH"; (ii) Park-Ohio common stock was simultaneously delisted from the NASDAQ
National Market and ceased to be registered under Section 12 (g) of the Exchange
Act; and (iii) Holdings assumed Park-Ohio's reporting obligations under the
Exchange Act.
 
NOTE E -- ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of
Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP requires
companies to capitalize qualifying computer software costs incurred during the
application development stage. This statement is applied prospectively and is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The Company adopted the SOP in the first quarter of 1999. The impact of
this new standard did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
 
     In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, "Accounting for the Costs of
Start-up Activities". The SOP requires that costs of start-up activities be
expensed as incurred. The SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. The Company adopted the SOP in the first quarter of 1999. The
impact of adoption of the SOP on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows was immaterial.
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued in June 1998. Statement 133 requires derivatives to be
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting for three
different types of hedges: hedges of changes in fair value of assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments; hedges of the variable cash flows of
forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net
investments in foreign operations. Statement 133 is effective for years
beginning after June 15, 1999 and is not expected to have a significant impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE F -- SEGMENTS
 
     During the first quarter of 1999 the Company, upon completion of the
acquisition of Metalloy, a full service aluminum casting and machining company,
redefined its operating segments. The Company retained its Integrated Logistics
Solutions ("ILS") segment and further segregated its former Manufactured
Products segment into an Aluminum Products segment and a Manufactured Products
segment. ILS is a leading national supplier of fasteners (e.g. nuts, bolts and
screws) and other industrial products to original equipment manufacturers, other
manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such industrial
products, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement
solutions. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum critical components
primarily for automotive original equipment manufacturers. In addition, Aluminum
Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering,
machining and assembly. Manufactured Products is a diverse group of
manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high
quality products for specific customer applications.
 
     Results by Business Segment were as follows:

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
 
     We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
1998, the consolidated statement of shareholder's equity for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
 
     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
 
     Based upon our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to
above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
 
     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated February 15, 1999, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1998, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it is derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings,
Corp., and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The financial information for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999 is not directly comparable on a period-to-period
basis to the financial information for the three-month period ended March 31,
1998 due to acquisitions made subsequent to the first quarter of 1998. During
1998, the Company acquired two businesses for $40.2 million. During October,
1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of GIS Industries, Inc.
("Gateway"). Gateway is a distributor of fasteners and a manufacturer of metal
products and fasteners. During April, 1998, the Company acquired all of the
shares of Direct Fasteners Limited ("Direct"), a distributor of fasteners
located in Ontario, Canada. During 1999, the Company acquired all of the shares
of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy") and St. Louis Screw and Bolt ("St.
Louis Screw") and the assets of PMC Industries, Inc. ("PMC") for $29.1 million.
Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company. St. Louis
Screw is a manufacturer of bolts and PMC provides capital equipment and
associated parts for the oil drilling industry. All acquisitions are accounted
for as purchases and consequently their results are included in the consolidated
financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company operates diversified manufacturing and logistics businesses
that serve a wide variety of industrial markets. The Company defines its
businesses into three operating segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions
("ILS"), Aluminum Products, and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading national
supplier of fasteners (e.g., nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial
products to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), other manufacturers and
distributors. In connection with the supply of such industrial products, ILS
provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement solutions. The
principal customers of ILS are in the transportation, industrial, electrical and
lawn and garden equipment industries. Aluminum Products also manufactures cast
aluminum critical components primarily for automotive OEMs. Aluminum Products
provides value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and
assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing
businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products
engineered for specific customer applications. The principal customers of
Manufactured Products are OEMs and end-users in the automotive, railroad, truck
and aerospace industries.
 
     Between 1993 and 1998, the Company has grown significantly, both internally
and through acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased at
a 42% compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"), from $94.5 million to $551.8
million, and income from continuing operations on a fully taxed basis increased
at a 40% CAGR from $2.4 million to $12.9 million.
 
     Recent growth has been primarily attributable to the Company's strategy of
making selective acquisitions in order to complement internal growth.
Historically, the Company has acquired underperforming businesses with potential
for: (i) significant cost reductions through improved labor, supplier and
customer relations and increased purchasing power and (ii) revenue enhancement
due to better asset utilization and management practices, as well as increased
access to capital. The Company's internal growth has been driven primarily by
the addition of ILS customers under total fastening service ("TFS") contracts
and by the leveraging of existing customer relationships in the Aluminum and
Manufactured Products segments.
 
     Between January 1, 1994 and March 31, 1999, the Company's continuing
operations incurred $70.5 million of capital expenditures, the majority of which
was used to expand and upgrade existing manufacturing facilities and enhance the
Company's management information systems.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS 1999 VERSUS THREE MONTHS 1998
 
     Net sales increased by $34.9 million, or 26%, from $136.5 million for the
first three months of 1998 to $171.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. This growth results from acquisitions that the

Company made subsequent to March 31, 1998 and relates primarily to the ILS and
the Aluminum Products segments. For ILS, the growth in net sales from
acquisitions amounted to $12.7 million and related to Gateway and Direct. For
Aluminum Products, net sales increased by $21.7 million and related primarily to
the acquisition of Metalloy.
 
     Gross profit increased by $7.6 million, or 33%, from $23.3 million for the
first three months of 1998 to $30.9 million for the first three months of 1999
and is directly related to acquisitions made in the preceding twelve months. The
Company's consolidated gross margin increased to 18.1% for the first three
months of 1999 from 17.1% for the first three months of 1998. This increase in
consolidated gross margin was due to increased margins in both the Aluminum
Products and ILS segments more than offsetting a decline in gross margins in the
Manufactured Products segment. The increase in the Aluminum Products segment
gross margin was due to increased production at General Aluminum thereby
allocating fixed manufacturing overhead over a greater production base and to
the acquisition of Metalloy which has a higher overall gross margin than the
existing business. The increase in margins in the ILS segment is a result of
spreading operating costs over a growing revenue base resulting from the recent
acquisitions in ILS and favorable raw material sourcing. The decline in margins
in the Manufactured Products segment results primarily from reduced production
activity at Ajax Manufacturing Company which caused fixed overhead costs to be
spread over a lesser production base.
 
     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 28% to $18.0 million
for the first three months of 1999 from $14.1 million for the first three months
of 1998. This increase was related to the acquisitions that have been
consummated subsequent to the first quarter of 1998. Consolidated selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was
approximately the same for both periods.
 
     Interest expense increased by $1.2 million from $4.2 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 to $5.4 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1999 due to higher average debt outstanding during the
current period offset by lower average interest rates in 1999 versus 1998. For
the three-month period ended March 31, 1999, the Company averaged outstanding
borrowings of $265.2 million as compared to $182.6 million outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The $82.6 million increase related primarily
to acquisitions completed during the latter part of 1998 and the first quarter
of 1999 with the remainder primarily related to working capital increases to
support the realized and anticipated growth in business and to capital
expenditures to support growth in the business. The average borrowing rate of
8.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 is 1.0% lower than the average
rate of 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily because of
averaging increased borrowings under the Company's bank revolving credit which
carry lower effective interest rates with the Company's subordinated debt which
carries a higher coupon rate.
 
     The effective income tax rate for the three-month periods ended March 31,
1999 and 1998 was 43%. At December 31, 1998, subsidiaries of the Company had
$1.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes.
 
SEASONALITY; VARIABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS
 
     As a result of the significant growth in the Company's net sales and
operating income in recent years, seasonal fluctuations have been substantially
mitigated. The Company, however, performs scheduled plant maintenance in the
third quarter to coincide with customer plant shut downs.
 
     The timing of orders placed by the Company's customers has varied with,
among other factors, orders for customers' finished goods, customer production
schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The
variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted
in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the
Company's business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the
capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment,
which typically ship a few large systems per year.
