               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference
- ------------------------------------------------

                 Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (the "Company") incorporates by
reference into this registration statement the following documents:

                 (a)        The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
                 year ended December 31, 1994.

                 (b) (1)    The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
                 the quarterly periods ended March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995 and
                 September 30, 1995.

                 (b) (2)    The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
                 April 17, 1995.

                 (c)        The description of the Common Shares, par value
                 $1.00 per share, of the Company contained in the Company's
                 Form S-4 (No. 33-87230) filed with the Securities and Exchange
                 Commission on December 9, 1994.

                 All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that
indicates all securities offered have been sold, or that deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of
filing of such documents.


Item 4.  Description of Securities
- ----------------------------------

                 Not applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
- -----------------------------------------------

                 Not applicable.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
- --------------------------------------------------

                 Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio General Corporation Law sets
forth provisions which define the extent to which a corporation may indemnify
directors, officers, and employees.  Section 34 of the Company's Code of
Regulations provides that the Company  may indemnify its





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
         directors and officers to the full extent and according to the
         procedures set forth in the Ohio General Corporation Law.  In
         addition, the directors and certain officers of the Company are each
         parties to indemnification agreements with the Company giving such
         officer or directors the benefits of (i) the Articles of Incorporation
         and Code of Regulations, (ii) any insurance purchased by the Company
         to provide such indemnification to the directors, officers and other
         persons, and (iii) Ohio law then in effect.  Under Ohio law directors
         of the Company would, under most circumstances, be entitled to
         advancement of litigation and similar expenses related to lawsuits or
         claims arising from such persons' services as a director.  A director
         of the Company would be liable in damages for actions taken as a
         director only if shown with clear and convincing evidence that the
         director's acting or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to
         cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the
         best interests of the corporation.  The directors are entitled to
         mandatory advancement of expenses incurred in defending any action
         provided the director agrees to cooperate in the matter and repay
         amounts advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that
         his act or failure to act was done with deliberate intent to cause
         injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for its best
         interests.

Item 9.  Undertakings
- ---------------------

                 (a)        The Company hereby undertakes:

                            (1)  To file, during any period in which offers and
                            sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
                            this registration statement to include any material
                            information with respect to the plan of
                            distribution not previously disclosed in this
                            registration statement or any material change to
                            such information in this registration statement;

                            (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
                            liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
                            "Act"), each such post-effective amendment shall be
                            deemed to be a new registration statement relating
                            to the securities offered therein, and the offering
                            of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
                            be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                            (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
                            post-effective amendment any of the securities
                            being registered that remain unsold at the
                            termination of the offering.

                 (b)        The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of its annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and each filing
of the plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that
is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

                 (h)        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a directors, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such directors, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
