                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
 
     Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. ("Park-Ohio", "the Company"), an Ohio
corporation since January, 1985, is a diversified manufacturer whose operations
serve a wide variety of industrial and consumer markets. Headquartered in
Cleveland, Ohio, Park-Ohio is publicly held, and its shares are traded on the
NASDAQ National Market System. Park-Ohio operates in two industry segments:
manufactured products and logistics. In 1996, Park-Ohio had net sales of $347.7
million and as of December 31, 1996, employed approximately 2,500 persons.
 
     On July 31, 1996, Park-Ohio completed the sale of substantially all the
assets of Bennett Industries, Inc. ("Bennett"), a wholly-owned subsidiary which
manufactures plastic containers, to North America Packaging Corporation, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian
company, for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $13.8
million. The results of operations and changes in cash flows for Bennett have
been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the
related consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash
flows, respectively. The assets and liabilities of Bennett have been classified
in the consolidated balance sheets as net assets of discontinued operations at
December 31, 1995.
 
     Effective March 31, 1995, Park-Ohio acquired all of the shares of RB&W
Corporation ("RB&W") in exchange for $31.0 million in cash and 2.0 million
shares of its common stock in a transaction valued at $54.2 million. The
combination has been accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the operations
of RB&W are included in the consolidated financial statements as of that date.
The metal forming business of RB&W is included within the manufactured products
segment and the supply chain management business comprises the logistics
segment.
 
MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS
 
     Park-Ohio's manufactured products segment includes forged and machined
products, metal forming, capital equipment, aluminum permanent mold castings,
industrial rubber products, consumer products and pharmaceutical caps and vials
and is carried out in 19 plants by approximately 2,000 employees. The three
largest customers, comprised of many divisions, accounted for approximately 34%
of manufactured products sales in 1996. The loss of business from any one of
these customers would have an adverse effect on this segment.
 
     During 1995, in addition to the acquisition of the metal forming business
of RB&W, Park-Ohio also purchased certain assets of four companies for a total
cost of $6.4 million. The operations of these businesses prior to the dates of
acquisition were not material to Park-Ohio.
 
     On October 15, 1993, Park-Ohio acquired General Aluminum Mfg. Company
("GAMCO") by issuing 250,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the
outstanding shares of GAMCO. See Note B to the consolidated financial statements
included herein.
 
     FORGED AND MACHINED PRODUCTS
 
     Forged and machined products include the production, machining and
finishing of closed die forgings produced by Park-Ohio and others. The
transportation industry is Park-Ohio's major market for its forged and machined
products. Park-Ohio forges crankshafts and machines camshafts and crankshafts
for diesel engines used in trucks, locomotives, buses, farm machinery, marine
and other applications. It also forges components and other high-strength, high-
performance, structural parts for civilian and military aircraft, truck,
military ordnance and other machinery and equipment producers. Park-Ohio's
forging and machining business is carried out by approximately 450 employees in
four plants, two of which are located in Cleveland, Ohio, one in Wellington,
Ohio and one in Berwick, Pennsylvania. Forging and
 
                                        1
<PAGE>   3
 
machining sales are generated by an internal sales force and through independent
sales representatives. Competition for forging and machining work is
substantial. Several of Park-Ohio's larger customers also do their own forging
or machining and there are many independent companies in this field, some of
which are substantially larger than Park-Ohio. Park-Ohio's forgings are made
primarily from various kinds of steel alloys. These raw materials are generally
available from a number of sources.
 
     METAL FORMING
 
     RB&W metal forming includes the engineering and manufacturing of cold
formed products and related hardware, principally, internally threaded parts and
miscellaneous formed metal components and assemblies which are manufactured in
high volume by cold forming, cold extrusion and specialized secondary
operations. The predominant material used is steel of various carbons and alloys
which is purchased directly from steel mills as hot rolled coils or rods or bars
of various diameters. Non-ferrous materials such as silicon bronze are purchased
in coils ready for use. These raw materials are generally available from a
number of sources. RB&W manufactures certain trademark items which are used in
volume in the automobile and truck industry and segments of the farm and
machinery businesses. These include lock nuts which find principal use in
applications where vibration is a problem and controlled tightening is desired.
RB&W's metal forming business is carried out by approximately 300 employees in
three plants located in Kent, Ohio; Coraopolis, Pennsylvania and Toronto,
Ontario. Metal forming products are sold through an internal sales force and
through independent representatives. The domestic industrial fastener industry,
which accounts for all of the products of RB&W's metal forming business, is
highly competitive. RB&W is one of the largest of several domestic producers of
industrial fasteners.
 
     CAPITAL EQUIPMENT
 
     Park-Ohio custom engineers, manufactures and sells capital equipment
consisting of forging presses, specialty lift trucks and induction heating
systems. Induction heating systems, the principal product, are sold under the
TOCCO brand name through Tocco, Inc. ("Tocco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary. TOCCO
induction heating systems are used primarily for heat treating, surface
hardening, heating for forging, brazing, soldering, annealing, shrink-fitting,
melting, welding, and heating metal components, principally for the purpose of
up-grading the wear and fatigue resistance features of such components.
Automotive and automotive supplier companies are Tocco's major customers with
farm equipment manufacturers second and miscellaneous metalworking companies
third. TOCCO systems are sold worldwide. Several companies manufacture equipment
competitive with some or all of the TOCCO equipment. While standard "off the
shelf" systems are produced, it is more often necessary to engineer unique
installations to meet the particular needs of the customer. TOCCO custom
engineering may involve systems with a series of loading, heating, quenching,
conveying and unloading processes incorporated into a single unit. The
individually designed systems may involve micro-processor controls, adaptable
modular construction and solid state technology. Production of capital equipment
and the related replacement parts along with the customer service technology is
carried out by approximately 500 employees in two plants, one located in
Cleveland, Ohio and one in Boaz, Alabama. In addition, a laboratory and customer
service facility is located in Madison Heights, Michigan. Sales are made both
through an internal sales organization and through independent representatives.
The various electrical components, electrical wiring, metal stampings, castings,
and other materials incorporated in the capital equipment are generally
available from a variety of sources.

     ALUMINUM PERMANENT MOLD CASTINGS
 
     Park-Ohio produces and machines aluminum permanent mold castings
principally for the automotive industry through GAMCO, a wholly-owned
subsidiary. GAMCO operates with approximately 350 employees with plants located
in Conneaut, Ohio and Hartsville, Tennessee. The castings produced by GAMCO are
used in automobiles, vans and light trucks. GAMCO has received quality awards
from its major automotive customers and is one of the few permanent mold
aluminum foundries in the United States to have received these awards. Raw
materials for production, primarily aluminum ingots of various alloys, are
generally available. Products are sold directly and through sales
representatives.
 
     INDUSTRIAL RUBBER PRODUCTS
 
     Park-Ohio's industrial rubber and silicone products consist of injection
and transfer molded products, lathe cut goods, roll coverings, linings and items
requiring rubber-to-metal bonding. Rubber products produced by Park-Ohio are
used in automobiles, air brake equipment, gas and oil lines, motors,
compressors, caskets, communication equipment, printing rolls and steel mills.
Market conditions are competitive. Products are sold directly and through sales
representatives to a variety of industries. Raw materials for production include
natural and synthetic rubber and metal inserts, all of which are generally
available. Park-Ohio's industrial rubber products business is carried out by
approximately 300 employees in three plants in East Butler, Pennsylvania;
Geneva, Ohio; and Cicero, Illinois.
 
     CONSUMER PRODUCTS
 
     Park-Ohio manufactures barbecue grills, lawn spreaders, lap trays, patio
tables, tray table sets, plant stands and screen enclosures through Kay Home
Products, Inc. ("KHP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Sales are made through its
own sales organization and through independent representatives. KHP distributes
the products nationwide through a network comprised of mass merchandisers,
grocery chains, drug stores, and hardware stores. Market conditions are price
competitive. KHP has operations in Cleveland, Ohio; Antioch, Illinois and
Columbus, Ohio. Because KHP's business is very seasonal, the number of its
employees varies from approximately 100 during the off season to a peak of
approximately 300. KHP is not dependent upon any particular suppliers. During
the fourth quarter of 1996, Park-Ohio commenced the reorganization of its
consumer products manufacturing operations which will result in the realignment
of two manufacturing facilities and the discontinuance of certain product lines.
As a result of these actions, Park-Ohio recorded a charge of $2.7 million
primarily for the writedown of certain property and equipment and inventory to
net realizable value.
 
     PHARMACEUTICAL CAPS AND VIALS
 
     Friendly and Safe Packaging Systems, Inc., an eighty percent owned
subsidiary of Park-Ohio, acquired the worldwide exclusive license to manufacture
and market a combination container and one piece safety cap in September of
1995. Park-Ohio has spent a year and a half on the reengineering and design of
the Friendly and Safe(TM) cap systems. Initial shipments of the product will
begin in April of 1997, but revenues from this source are not expected to be
material to Park-Ohio in fiscal 1997. Park-Ohio believes its Clear Picture(TM)
safety cap and vial is superior to the current products on the market, but the
market is extremely competitive.
 
LOGISTICS
 
     The principal activity of Park-Ohio's logistics business is the supply
chain management of various commodity products primarily fasteners, principally
to original equipment manufacturers. Logistics locations inventory several
thousand items which are readily available including common standard fasteners
such as bolts, nuts and cap screws; machine tapping and wood
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
screws; stainless steel and non-ferrous bolts, nuts and screws; patented and
proprietary locking fasteners; plus non-standard engineered special items
inventoried for specific customer's orders. The logistics business is carried
out by approximately 500 employees, has 31 branches located throughout the
United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico and England, and has a central
distribution center located in Dayton, Ohio. The central distribution center
receives, processes and packages certain materials for the 31 branches. The
logistics business sales are generated through national agreements, Total
Fastening Service ("TFS") contracts, along with field and telemarketing efforts
on the part of each branch. These TFS contracts with large original equipment
manufacturers have increased significantly over the last few years. The products
sold by logistics are manufactured by a broad base of domestic fastener
manufacturers, as well as qualified sources around the world. The single largest
customer accounted for approximately 11% of sales of logistics. The loss of such
customer would have an adverse effect on this business. The logistics business
is competitive in both price and service and competes with a large number of
companies, including those with domestic manufacturing operations, and other
importers, many of whom have access to the same or similar sources of supply.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
 
     Park-Ohio is subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect
the environment, particularly in regard to waste and emissions. In general,
Park-Ohio has not experienced difficulty in complying with environmental
protection provisions in the past, and compliance with such laws and regulations
has not had a materially adverse effect on Park-Ohio's operations.
 
INFORMATION AS TO INDUSTRY SEGMENT REPORTING
 
     The information contained under the heading of "Note L -- Industry
Segments" of notes to consolidated financial statements included herein,
relating to net sales, operating income, identifiable assets and other
information by industry segment for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994 is incorporated herein by reference.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
     Park-Ohio's operations include numerous manufacturing and warehousing
facilities located in 21 states in the United States and in 3 other countries.
Approximately 52% of the available square footage is owned. In 1996,
approximately 83% of the available domestic square footage was used by the
manufactured products segment and 17% by the logistics segment. Approximately
77% of the foreign facilities were used by the manufactured products segment and
23% were used by the logistics segment.
 
     In the opinion of management, Park-Ohio's facilities are generally well
maintained and are suitable and adequate for their intended use.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     Park-Ohio becomes involved in litigation arising out of its normal business
activities. In the opinion of management, Park-Ohio's liability, if any, under
any pending litigation would not materially affect its financial position or
results of operations.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
 
     There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of 1996.

(A) On July 31, 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the
    assets of Bennett Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary which
    manufactures plastic containers for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a
    pretax gain of $13.8 million recognized in the third quarter of 1996. The
    results of operations for Bennett have been classified as discontinued
    operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of Bennett
    have been classified in the consolidated balance sheets as net assets of
    discontinued operations.
 
(B) On March 31, 1995, the Company acquired all of the shares of RB&W
    Corporation in exchange for 2,023,000 shares of the Company's common stock
    and cash. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
    the operations of RB&W have been included since that date.
 
(C) On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired General Aluminum Mfg. Company in
    an exchange of shares and on June 30, 1992, the Company completed the
    acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Kay Home Products, Inc.
    These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases.
 
(D) Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial
    Accounting Standards Board No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
    Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," changing to the accrual method
    of accounting for these benefits, which resulted in a noncash charge to
    operations of $26,891 as of that date. During 1993, the Company reduced
    costs and revised its actuarial assumptions to reflect experience.

(E) During 1995 and 1994, the Company's utilization of net operating loss
    carryforwards and reduction in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
    (See Note F to the consolidated financial statements included herein) had
    the effect of increasing income per common share from continuing operations
    $1.18 in 1995 and $.53 in 1994.

    Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
    included under Item 7 elsewhere herein.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  1996 versus 1995
 
     On July 31, 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of Bennett Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary which
manufactures plastic containers, to North America Packaging Corporation, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian
company, for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $13.8
million. The results of operations and changes in cash flows of Bennett have
been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the
consolidated statements of income and cash flows. The assets and liabilities of
Bennett have been classified in the consolidated balance sheets as net assets of
discontinued operations at December 31, 1995.
 
     Net sales from continuing operations increased by $58.2 million or 20%
during the period. Of the sales increase, approximately $47.8 million pertains
to incorporating RB&W in the consolidated results for the entire year with the
remainder primarily pertaining to acquisitions made subsequent to the second
quarter of 1995.
 
     Gross profit from continuing operations rose to $58.3 million in the
current period from $48.6 million for 1995. Of the $9.7 million increase, $8.6
million pertains to acquisitions made in 1995 (approximately $6.7 million
relates to including RB&W for a full year) and $1.1 million pertains to margin
improvements primarily related to the logistics business. Consolidated gross
margins were approximately 17% of sales for both 1996 and 1995.
 
     Selling, general and administrative costs from continuing operations
increased by 27% in 1996 primarily as a result of incorporating RB&W into the
consolidated results for the entire year. Of the total increase of $8.1 million,
55% pertains to RB&W. Other factors contributing to the increase were
administrative costs of other companies acquired at various times in 1995 which
are included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the
entire year and costs associated with prospective business opportunities. As a
percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and administrative costs
accounted for 11% of the sales dollar for 1996 and 10% for 1995.
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1996, the Company commenced the reorganization
of its consumer products manufacturing operations which will result in the
realignment of two manufacturing facilities and the discontinuance of certain
product lines. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a charge of
$2.7 million primarily for the writedown of certain property and equipment and
inventory to estimated net realizable value.
 
     In December 1996, the Company negotiated full settlement of subordinated
notes receivable, resulting from the sale of two manufacturing facilities for a
gain of $2.7 million. In addition, in the third quarter, the Company realized a
$1.5 million gain on the sale of securities.
 
     Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $1.0 million in
1996 due to higher levels of bank debt outstanding during the period. Average
debt outstanding for the period
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   9
 
increased from $92.4 million in 1995 to $103.2 million in 1996. The increase in
borrowings was caused by the acquisition of RB&W as of March 31, 1995, and
higher levels of revolving credit debt to support increased sales and production
as well as capital expenditures in excess of depreciation. Interest rates for
the period are approximately the same for both 1996 and 1995.
 
     During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company recorded deferred tax assets
of $8.1 million relating to anticipated future income tax benefits from
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, as of January 1,
1996, the Company began to fully provide for Federal income taxes. Additionally,
Federal income tax expense from continuing operations for the 1995 period was
reduced by $3.7 million due to the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards. During 1996, as a result of the gain on the sale of Bennett
Industries, all net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes relating to
the Company have been fully utilized. At December 31, 1996, subsidiaries of the
Company have net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately
$15.0 million, subject to certain limitations which expire in 2001 to 2007.
 
  1995 versus 1994
 
     Effective March 31, 1995, the Company acquired all of the shares of RB&W
Corporation ("RB&W") in exchange for $31.0 million in cash and 2.0 million of
its common shares in a transaction valued at $54.2 million. The combination has
been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operations of RB&W are
included in the consolidated financial statements as of that date. The metal
forming business of RB&W is included within the manufactured products segment,
and the supply chain management business comprises the Company's logistics
segment.
 
     Net sales from continuing operations increased by $160.3 million during the
period, of which $139.2 million pertained to RB&W whose results are included for
the period April through December 1995. Of the sales increase applicable to
RB&W, $108.5 million pertains to the logistics segment and $30.7 million relates
to the metal forming business included within the manufactured products segment.
The remainder of the sales increase pertains to the manufactured products
segment and is caused primarily by acquisitions made during the year.
 
     Gross profit from continuing operations rose to $48.6 million in the
current period from $25.0 million for 1994. Of the $23.6 million increase in
gross profits, RB&W accounted for practically the entire increase. Consolidated
gross margins were 17% of sales in 1995 compared with approximately 19% of sales
in 1994. The decline in gross margins was due, in part, to RB&W which has lower
gross margins than the Company as a whole. In addition, margins in the consumer
products business included in the manufactured products segment declined as a
result of increased raw material costs that could not be adequately reflected in
pricing and to product mix changes.
 
     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 78% in the period
largely as a result of including RB&W in the consolidated results. As a
percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and administrative costs
accounted for 10% of the sales dollar in the current period compared to 13% in
1994.
 
     Interest expense increased by $4.4 million in 1995 due to higher levels of
debt outstanding during the period. Average debt outstanding for the period
increased from $27.8 million in 1994 to $92.0 million in 1995. The increase in
borrowings was caused by the acquisition of RB&W, other acquisitions, higher
levels of revolving credit debt to support increased sales and to the
convertible subordinated debentures issued in May 1994, being outstanding for
the entire current period. Interest rates remained approximately the same for
both 1995 and 1994.
 
                                        8
<PAGE>   10
 
     The income tax benefit of $6.9 million in 1995 primarily results from
recording an $8.1 million reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets.
 
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
 
     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.78 at December 31,
1996, compared to 2.80 at December 31, 1995 and 2.43 at December 31, 1994.
Working capital increased by $3.0 million in 1996 primarily as a result of
increased receivables and inventories offset by an increase in current
liabilities.
 
     Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing
arrangements) and anticipated funds from continuing operations are expected to
be adequate to meet current cash requirements. Capital expenditures for 1997 are
anticipated to be approximately $15.0 million which will be used to invest in
the Company's current facilities for projected new business, for scheduled
improvements and for other necessary expenditures. The Company's growth during
the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, has largely been fueled by
acquisitions. In the event additional capital resources are needed for other
opportunities in the near future, the Company believes adequate financing is
either in place or would be available. In addition, on July 31, 1996, the
Company applied the proceeds, net of income taxes, of $46.3 million from the
sale of Bennett to reduce outstanding bank borrowings. The Company currently has
in place a $125 million credit agreement of which $58.5 million is borrowed as
of December 31, 1996.
 
     During 1996, the Company generated $20.6 million from continuing operations
before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the
use of $15.0 million in the operating accounts and $2.0 million provided from
discontinued operations, the Company provided $7.7 million from operating
activities. During 1996, the Company invested $15.6 million in capital
expenditures and purchased for $1.8 million, 126,225 of its own shares, all of
which were funded by internally generated cash flows and additional bank
borrowings.
 
     During 1995, the Company generated $18.0 million from continuing operations
before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to
changes in the operating accounts of $27.7 million and $5.7 million provided by
discontinued operations, the Company used $4.0 million in operating activities.
This amount and capital expenditures of $13.6 million were funded by an increase
in bank borrowings. In addition, the Company borrowed $68.6 million under its
revolving credit agreement to fund acquisitions of $35.8 million, primarily
RB&W, and to pay off $32.8 million of acquired debt related to the acquisitions.
 
     During 1994, the Company generated $9.7 million from operations before
changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to changes in
the operating accounts of $6.4 million and the $5.7 million provided by
discontinued operations, the Company generated $9.0 million from operating
activities. During 1994, the Company borrowed $11.4 million under revolving
credit arrangements with a bank group and sold $20.9 million, net of financing
costs, of 7 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures and $4.2 million of
common stock. The combined proceeds were used to fund capital expenditures of
$11.8 million, acquisitions of $2.1 million, acquire other capital assets of
$2.9 million and retire $26.7 million of bank indebtedness under revolving
credit and term loan arrangements.
 
     Long-term debt and the convertible senior subordinated debentures
represented 42% of the Company's capital at December 31, 1996, 55% at December
31, 1995 and 41% at December 31, 1994.
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
 
     Although inflation was not a significant factor in 1996, the Company
continues to seek ways to cope with its impact. To the extent permitted by
competition, the Company's operations generally attempt to pass on increased
costs by increasing sales prices over time. The Company primarily uses the FIFO
method of accounting for its inventories. Under this method, current costs are
generally reflected in cost of products. The charges to operations for
depreciation
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
represent the allocation of historical costs incurred over past years and are
significantly less than if they were based on the current cost of productive
capacity being consumed.
 
OTHER
 
     Governmental agencies have identified eight disposal sites for clean-up
under Superfund and similar laws to which the Company has been named a Potential
Responsible Party. The Company is participating in the cost of certain clean-up
efforts. However, the Company's share of such costs has not been material and is
not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Park-Ohio
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
NOTE A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
 
     Accounting 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.
 
     Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
     Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally the
first-in, first-out method) or market value. If the first-in, first-out method
of inventory accounting had been used exclusively by the Company, inventories
would have been approximately $4,921 and $4,928 higher than reported at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

     Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at
cost. Major additions are capitalized and betterments are charged to accumulated
depreciation; expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
operations. Depreciation of fixed assets is computed principally by the
straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
     Excess Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired: The Company records
amortization of excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
(see Note B) over twenty-five years using the straight-line method. Management
periodically evaluates for possible impairment the current value of these
intangibles through cash flow and income analyses of the acquired businesses.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of." Statement No. 121
establishes accounting standards for determining the impairment of long-lived
assets to be held and used, certain identifiable intangibles, and goodwill
related to those assets and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be disposed of. The company adopted Statement No. 121 during the
first quarter of 1996. The financial statement effect of adoption was not
material.
 
     Pensions: The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans, principally
noncontributory defined benefit or noncontributory defined contribution plans,
covering substantially all employees. For the defined benefit plans, benefits
are based on the employee's years of service

and the Company's policy is to fund that amount recommended by its independent
actuaries. For the defined contribution plans, the costs charged to operations
and the amount funded are based upon a percentage of the covered employees'
compensation.
 
     Stock-Based Compensation: The Company has elected to account for
stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB 25"), and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the
exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price
of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.
 
     Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability
method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the current enacted tax rates.
 
     Net Income Per Common Share: Net income per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and assumes the exercise of
outstanding dilutive stock options and the issuance of certain additional shares
subject to earn-out provisions. On a fully-diluted basis, both net income and
common shares outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the
convertible senior subordinated debentures issued in 1994. Fully diluted
earnings per share were as follows:

     During 1995 and 1994, the Company's utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards and reduction in valuation allowances for deferred tax assets (See
Note F) had the effect of increasing income per common share from continuing
operations by $1.18 in 1995 and $.53 in 1994. Accordingly, income per common
share from continuing operations on a fully taxable basis is as follows:

     Interest Rate Swap Agreements: The Company enters into interest rate swap
agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its outstanding debt. Each
interest rate swap agreement is designated with a portion of the principal
balance and term of a specific debt obligation. These agreements involve the
exchange of amounts based on a fixed interest rate for amounts based on variable
interest rates of the life of the agreement without an exchange of the notional
amount upon which the payments are based. The differential to be paid or
received as interest rates change is accrued and recognized as an adjustment of
interest expense related to the debt.
 
     Revenue Recognition: For the majority of its operations, the Company
recognizes revenues upon shipment of its product. Revenues on long-term
contracts are recognized using the

percentage of completion method of accounting, under which the sales value of
performance is recognized on the basis of the percentage each contract's cost to
date bears to the total estimated cost. The recognition of profit, based upon
anticipated final costs, is made only after evaluation of the contract status at
critical milestones. The Company's contracts generally provide for billing of
customers. Revenues earned on contracts in process in excess of billings are
classified in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet.
 
     Environmental: The Company accrues environmental costs related to existing
conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no current
or future benefit is discernible. Costs which extend the life of the related
property or mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are
capitalized. The Company records a liability when environmental assessments
and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The
estimated liability of the Company is not discounted or reduced for possible
recoveries from insurance carriers.
 
     Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells its products to customers
in diversified industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of
its customers' financial condition but does not require collateral to support
customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical
trends and other information. As of December 31, 1996 the Company had
uncollateralized receivables with six customers in the automotive and truck
industry each with several locations approximating $19,988 which represents 34%
of the Company's trade accounts receivable. During 1996, sales to these
customers amounted to approximately $103,028 which represents 30% of the
Company's revenue.
 
     Reclassifications: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.
 
NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS
 
     On March 31, 1995, the Company acquired all of the shares of RB&W

     During 1995, the Company also purchased certain assets of four companies
for a total cost of $6,400 which includes $1,500 for Ajax Manufacturing Company,
purchased from a related party. The operations of these businesses prior to the
dates of acquisition were not material to the Company.
 
     On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired General Aluminum Mfg. Company
(GAMCO), by issuing 250,000 shares of its common stock valued at $3,127 in
exchange for the outstanding shares of GAMCO. An additional 187,500 shares of
common stock valued at $1,931 which represents purchase price in excess of net
assets acquired, were issued in March, 1995 and an additional 375,000 shares of
common stock will be issued at a value to be determined at the date of issuance
during 1997 as a result of GAMCO achieving certain income levels during 1996 as
specified in the purchase agreement. Up to an additional 187,500 shares of
common stock may be issued in 1998 if GAMCO achieves certain income levels
during the year ending December 31, 1997. Throughout 1996, the 375,000 shares to
be issued in 1997 were included in the earnings per share calculation on a
weighted average basis when it appeared likely such shares would be issued
pursuant to this agreement.
 
NOTE C -- SALE OF BENNETT INDUSTRIES
 
     On July 31, 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of Bennett Industries, Inc. ("Bennett"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
which manufactures plastic containers, to North America Packaging Corporation,
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian
company, for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $13.8
million. The results of operations and changes in cash flows for Bennett have
been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the
related consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash
flows, respectively. Interest expense has been allocated to discontinued
operations based on the ratio of net assets discontinued to the total net assets
of the consolidated entity plus consolidated debt. The assets and liabilities of
Bennett have been classified in the consolidated balance sheets as net assets of
discontinued operations at December 31, 1995.
 
     Summary operating results of the discontinued operations, excluding the
above gain, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were as

specific financial ratios (which aggregated 6.6% at December 31, 1996). The
weighted average rate on borrowings was 6.6% at December 31, 1996. The credit
agreement expires on March 31, 1999.
 
     The Company has agreements on which up to $3 million in standby letters of
credit and commercial letters of credit may be issued. In addition to the bank's
customary letter of credit fees, a 1% fee is assessed on standby letters of
credit on an annual basis. As of December 31, 1996, in addition to amounts
borrowed under the revolving credit agreement, there is $2.2 million outstanding
primarily for standby letters of credit. A fee of  1/4% is imposed by the bank
on the unused portion of available borrowings.

     The credit agreement contains limitations on borrowings, investments, lease
rentals, capital expenditures and acquisitions or mergers, and requires
maintenance of specific financial ratios and a minimum net worth.
 
     As of December 31, 1996 the Company has interest rate swap agreements for
notional borrowings of $50 million in which the Company pays a fixed rate and
receives a floating rate equal to the three month LIBOR rate. The weighted
average pay rate and receive rate under these agreements is 5.83% and 5.55%,
respectively. These agreements mature during 2000.
 
     During 1994, the Company sold $22,235 of its 7 1/4% convertible senior
subordinated debentures and $4,200 of its common stock at $15.75 a share. The
debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price
of $19.32 per share or a rate of 51.76 shares per $1 thousand principal amount
of debentures and are subordinated to all senior indebtedness of the Company.
Subsequent to December 15, 1996, the debentures may be redeemed at the option of
the Company, in whole or in part, initially at 107% and thereafter at prices
declining to 100% on and after December 15, 2003 together with accrued interest.
Sinking fund payments begin in 2000 in an amount sufficient to retire annually
20% of the aggregate principal amount of debentures issued, calculated to retire
80% of the debentures prior to maturity. Interest is payable semi-annually.

NOTE G -- STOCK OPTIONS
 
     Under the provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated 1992 Stock
Option Plan, incentive stock options or non-statutory options to purchase
850,000 shares of the Company's stock may be granted to officers and other key
employees at the market price on the respective date of grant. The option rights
are exercisable only if and after the employee shall have remained in the employ
of the Company for one year from the date the option is granted. At December 31,
1996, there were a total of 676,000 options outstanding under the Plan; 175,000
of such options became 100% exercisable after two years from the date of grant
at option prices ranging from $3.813 -- $5.125 a share and terminate five years
from the option date; 501,000 of such options become 100% exercisable after
three years from the date of grant at option prices ranging from
$9.125 -- $14.25 a share and terminate ten years from the option date. During
1996, 31,167 options under this Plan were exercised at prices ranging from
$5.125 -- $10.625 a share. At December 31, 1996, there were 348,992 options
exercisable at option prices ranging from $3.813 -- $14.25 a share.
 
     The 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan authorized the granting of
options on 250,000 shares of common stock to directors who are not employees of
the Company. Annually, each non-employee director will automatically receive
options to acquire 6,000 shares at the market price on the date of grant.
Options under this plan are exercisable six months from the date of grant. At
December 31, 1996 there were 30,000 options outstanding and exercisable under
this plan at an exercise price of $13.625. Also during 1996 the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company was granted a non-statutory stock option
to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $13.625 per share which was the
market price at the date of grant. The options become 100% exercisable after
five years and shall terminate fifteen years from the option date.
 
     Had the compensation cost for the stock options granted in 1996 and 1995
been determined based on the fair value method of FASB Statement No. 123, the
Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced by $1,290
($.12 per share) in 1996 and $223 ($.02 per share) in 1995. The effects on 1996
and 1995 net earnings may not be representative of the effect on future years
net earnings amounts as the compensation cost on each year's grant is recognized
over the vesting period.

     Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1996 and 1995,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.25% and 6.34%; zero dividend yield;
expected volatility of 43% and expected option lives of 6 to 10 years for 1996
and 6 years for 1995.
 
NOTE H -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company becomes involved in litigation arising out of its normal
business activities. In the opinion of management, the Company's liability, if
any, under any pending litigation would not have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

     The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation ("APBO") was determined
using an assumed discount rate of 7.5%, 7.5% and 8.5% for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The assumed annual health care trend rate for retirees younger
than 65 was 9.0% in 1996 (9.5% in 1995 and 10% in 1994) decreasing to 6.0% in
2004. The assumed annual health care trend rate for retirees aged 65 and over
will decrease to 5.5% in 2004. A 1% change in the trend rate would increase the
APBO by 4.2% and annual expense by 11%.

         4. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 10.13

                  SECTION 10.13. BANK ASSIGNMENTS/PARTICIPATIONS.

                  (a) Any Bank may, in the ordinary course of its commercial
         banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time
         sell to one or more financial institutions ("Participants")
         participating interests in any Note held by such Bank, any Commitment
         of such Bank or any other interest of such Bank hereunder and under the
         Related Writings; provided that, anything herein to the contrary
         notwithstanding, each of the Banks hereunder shall retain the lesser of
         (i) such Bank's Commitment hereunder and the aggregate amount of such
         Bank's Notes issued hereunder or (ii) an undivided ten percent (10%) of
         the original Commitment of the Banks (unless the original Commitment of
         the Banks hereunder shall be permanently reduced and then each Bank
         shall retain ten percent (10%) of the amount as so reduced) and of the
         aggregate amount of the Notes issued hereunder. In the event of any
         such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such
         Bank's obligations under this credit agreement to the other parties to
         this credit agreement shall remain unchanged; such Bank shall remain
         solely responsible for the performance thereof; such Bank shall remain
         the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this credit
         agreement and the Related Writings; and the Borrower and the Agent
         shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection
         with such Bank's rights and obligations under this credit agreement and
         the Related Writings. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding
         under this credit agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall
         have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the
         occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to
         have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in
         amounts owing under this credit agreement and any Note to the same
         extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
         directly to it as a Bank under this credit agreement or any Note,
         provided that such Participant shall only be entitled to such right of
         set-off if it shall have agreed in the agreement pursuant to which it
         shall have acquired its participating

         interest to share with the Banks the proceeds thereof as provided in
         Section 8.5. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be
         entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 10.7, 10.8 and
         10.9 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the loans
         outstanding from time to time.

                  (b) With the written consent of the Agent, any Bank may
         (subject to the proviso set forth below), in the ordinary course of its
         commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at
         any time sell to one or more financial institutions ("Purchasing
         Banks") a part of its rights and obligations under this credit
         agreement and the Notes, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance
         executed by such Purchasing Bank, such transferor Bank and the Agent)
         and delivered to the Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
         Register; provided that, anything herein to the contrary
         notwithstanding, each of the Banks hereunder shall retain the lesser of
         (i) such Bank's Commitment hereunder and the aggregate amount of such
         Bank's Notes issued hereunder or (ii) an undivided ten percent (10%) of
         the original Commitment of the Banks (unless the original Commitment of
         the Banks hereunder shall be permanently reduced and then each Bank
         shall retain ten percent (10%) of the amount as so reduced) and of the
         aggregate amount of the Notes issued hereunder, and FURTHER PROVIDED
         that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, no Bank shall
         sell its interest hereunder pursuant to an assignment without the
         written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and
         recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date determined
         pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Purchasing Bank
         thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
         Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank
         hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the
         transferor Bank thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
         Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
         credit agreement. Such Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to
         amend this credit agreement to the extent, and only to the extent,
         necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank and the
         resulting adjustment of the appropriate Commitments arising from the
         purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the rights and
         obligations of such transferor Bank under this credit agreement and the
         Notes. On or prior to the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant
         to such Assignment and Acceptance, the Borrower shall execute and
         deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new
         Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Note, as the case may be, to the
         order of such Purchasing Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving
         Credit Commitment and/or the Term Loan Commitment assumed by it
         pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and new Notes to the order
         of the transferor Bank in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by
         it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall
         otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes
         surrendered by the transferor Bank shall be returned by the Agent to
         the Borrower marked "cancelled".

                  (c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
         Section 10.6 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it
         and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and
         addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of
         the loans owing to, each Bank from time to time. The entries in the
         Register shall 



                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the
         Agent and the Banks may treat each financial institution whose name is
         recorded in the Register as the owner of the loan recorded therein for
         all purposes of this credit agreement. The Register shall be available
         for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and
         from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

                  (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
         by a transferor Bank, a Purchasing Bank and the Agent, together with
         payment by the transferor Bank and/or the Purchasing Bank of a
         registration and processing fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
         ($2,500), to be retained by the Agent for its own account, the Agent
         shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) on
         the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto, record the
         information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such
         acceptance and recordation to the Banks and the Borrower.

                  (e) The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any
         Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a "Transferee") and any
         prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank's
         possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which has been
         delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower or its
         Subsidiaries pursuant to this credit agreement or which has been
         delivered to such Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection
         with such Bank's credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
         prior to becoming a party to this credit agreement.

                  (f) If, pursuant to this section, any interest in this credit
         agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is
         organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United
         States or any state thereof, the transferor Bank shall cause such
         Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i)
         to represent to the transferor Bank (for the benefit of the transferor
         Bank, the Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and
         treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Agent, the
         Borrower or the transferor Bank with respect to any payments to be made
         to such Transferee in respect of the loans hereunder, (ii) to furnish
         to the transferor Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank
         registered in the Register, the Agent and the Borrower) either (A) U.S.
         Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue Service
         Form 1001 or (B) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or
         W-9, as applicable (wherein such Transferee claims entitlement to
         complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest
         payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the
         transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor
         Bank (and, in the case of any Purchasing Bank registered in the
         Register, the Agent and the Borrower) a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 or
         Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of
         any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance
         with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed
         and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with
         all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such
         withholding tax exemption.

                  (g) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Bank from pledging or
         assigning any Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with
         applicable law.

                                                                  Exhibit (4)(E)

                           SECOND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

         Second Amendment Agreement made as of the 5th day of December, 1995,
by and among PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC., an Ohio corporation ("Borrower"),
SOCIETY NATIONAL BANK, as Agent ("Agent") and the banks listed on Schedule I
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Banks"):

         WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and the Banks are parties to a certain credit
agreement dated April 11, 1995, as amended, and as it may from time to time be
further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, which provides, among other
things, for a revolving credit and a term loan aggregating One Hundred Million
Dollars, all upon certain terms and conditions (the "Credit Agreement");

         WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent and the Banks desire to amend the Credit
Agreement by increasing the amount of the revolving credit and by modifying
certain other provisions thereof;

         WHEREAS, each term used herein shall be defined in accordance with the
Credit Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants herein and for other valuable considerations, Borrower, Agent and the
Banks agree as follows:

         1. The first paragraph of Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting the amount "One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000)" and
by inserting in place thereof the amount "One Hundred Twenty Five Million
Dollars ($125,000,000)".

         2. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 5.21
thereof in its entirety and by inserting in place thereof the following:

                  SECTION 5.21. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Borrower and its
         Consolidated Subsidiaries will not invest in Capital Expenditures (a)
         more than an aggregate amount equal to Fourteen Million Dollars
         ($14,000,000) during the 1995 fiscal year of Borrower, and (b) more
         than an amount equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) during the
         1996 fiscal year of Borrower and during each fiscal year thereafter.

         3. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Annex 1 in the
form of Schedule I, attached hereto.

         4. Concurrently with the execution of this Second Amendment Agreement,
Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Bank a new Revolving Credit Note
dated as of the Closing Date, and being in the form and substance of Exhibit A
of the Credit Agreement, with the blanks appropriately filled to reflect the
Revolving Credit Commitment of each Bank. After receipt of such Revolving Credit
Note, each Bank will mark the Revolving Credit Note being replaced hereby,
"Replaced" and return the same to Borrower.

         5. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the Banks
that (a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this
Second Amendment Agreement; (b) officials executing this Second Amendment
Agreement have been duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind
Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery
hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by Borrower of the
provisions hereof do not violate or conflict with the organizational agreements
of Borrower or any law applicable to Borrower or result in a breach of any
provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or
document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Possible Default
exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the
execution and delivery of the Second Amendment Agreement or by the performance
or observance of any provision hereof; (e) neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary
has any claim or offset against, or defense or counterclaim to, any of
Borrower's or any Subsidiary's obligations or liabilities under the Credit
Agreement or any Related Writing, and Borrower and each Subsidiary hereby waives
and releases the Agent and each of the Banks from any and all such claims,
offsets, defenses and counterclaims of which Borrower and any Subsidiary is
aware, such waiver and release being with full knowledge and understanding of
the circumstances and effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel
with respect thereto, and (f) this Second Amendment Agreement constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Borrower in every respect, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

         6. Each reference that is made in the Credit Agreement or any other
writing shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, all provisions
of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected
hereby.

         7. This Second Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

         8. The rights and obligations of all parties hereto shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Ohio.

                              REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

$4,500,000                                                      Cleveland, Ohio
                                                           As of April 11, 1995

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC. (the
"Borrower") promises to pay on March 31, 1999, to the order of MELLON BANK,
N.A. (the "Bank") at the Main Office of Society National Bank, Agent, 127
Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio  44114-1306 the principal sum of

FOUR MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100                           DOLLARS
- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans made by Bank to Borrower
pursuant to Paragraph A of Section 2.1 of the credit agreement, as hereinafter
defined, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States of America. As
used herein, "Credit Agreement" means the credit agreement dated as of April 11,
1995, as amended, among Borrower, the banks named therein and Society National
Bank, as Agent. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Credit Agreement.

         Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
of each loan from time to time outstanding, from the date of such loan until the
payment in full thereof, at the rates per annum which shall be determined in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph A of Section 2.1 of the Credit
Agreement. Such interest shall be payable on each date provided for in Paragraph
A of such Section 2.1; provided, however, that interest on any principal portion
which is not paid when due shall be payable on demand.

         The portions of the principal sum hereof from time to time representing
Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, and payments of principal of any thereof, will
be shown on the records of Bank by such method as Bank may generally employ;
provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract
from Borrower's obligations under this note.

         If this note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity
occurs by reason of lapse of time or by operation of any provision for
acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, the principal hereof
and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at a rate per
annum which shall be two per cent (2%) in excess of the Adjusted Prime Rate from
time to time in effect. All payments of principal of and interest on this note
shall be made in immediately available funds. In an Event of Default in the
payment of interest or balance of principal, when the same becomes due, Bank may
collect and Borrower agrees to pay a late charge of an amount equal to the
greater of (a) ten per cent (10%) of the amount of such late payment, or (b)
Twenty Five Dollars ($25).

         This note is one of the Revolving Credit Notes referred to in the
Credit Agreement. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for a description of
the right of the undersigned to anticipate payments hereof, the right of the
holder hereof to declare this note due prior to its stated maturity, and other
terms and conditions upon which this note is issued.


<PAGE>   15

         The undersigned authorizes any attorney at law at any time or times
after the maturity hereof (whether maturity occurs by lapse of time or by
acceleration) to appear in any state or federal court of record in the United
States of America, to waive the issuance and service of process, to admit the
maturity of this note and the nonpayment thereof when due, to confess judgment
against the undersigned in favor of the holder of this note for the amount then
appearing due, together with interest and costs of suit, and thereupon to
release all errors and to waive all rights of appeal and stay of execution. The
foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment, and if any judgment be
vacated for any reason, the holder hereof nevertheless may thereafter use the
foregoing warrant of attorney to obtain an additional judgment or judgments
against the undersigned. The undersigned agrees that the Agent or the Banks'
attorney may confess judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney. The
undersigned further agrees that the attorney confessing judgment pursuant to the
foregoing warrant of attorney may receive a legal fee or other compensation from
the Agent or the Banks.

Third Amendment Agreement; (b) officials executing this Third Amendment
Agreement have been duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind
Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery
hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by Borrower of the

provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or
document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Possible Default
exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the

         WHEREAS, each term used herein shall be defined in accordance with the
Credit Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants herein and for other valuable considerations, Borrower, Agent and the
Banks agree as follows:

         1. Article I of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the
definitions of "Guarantor of Payment" and "Revolving Credit Commitment"
therefrom and to insert the following in place thereof:

                  "Guarantor of Payment" means any one of Castle Rubber Company,
         Kay Home Products, Inc., General Aluminum Mfg. Company, Blue Falcon

         Amount" on Annex 1 hereof (or such lesser amount as shall be determined
         pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof).

         4. Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety with the following to be inserted in place thereof:

                  SECTION 2.1. AMOUNT AND NATURE OF CREDIT. Subject to the terms
         and provisions of this credit agreement, each Bank will participate to
         the extent hereinafter provided in making Loans to Borrower in such
         aggregate amount as Borrower shall request pursuant to the Revolving
         Credit Commitment and the Term Loan Commitment; provided, however, that
         in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all Loans
         outstanding under this credit agreement during the Commitment Period
         exceed the Total Commitment Amount.

                  Each Bank, for itself and not one for any other, agrees to
         participate in borrowings made hereunder on such basis that (a)
         immediately after the completion of any borrowing by Borrower
         hereunder, the aggregate principal amount then outstanding on Notes
         issued to such Bank shall not be in excess of the amount shown opposite
         the name of such Bank under the column headed "Maximum Amount" as set
         forth in Annex 1 hereto for the Commitment Period, and (b) such
         aggregate principal amount outstanding on Notes issued to such Bank
         shall represent that percentage of the aggregate principal amount then
         outstanding on all Notes (including the Notes held by such Bank) which
         is shown opposite the name of such Bank under the column headed
         "Percentage" in Annex 1 hereto.

                  Each borrowing from, and reduction of Commitments of, the
         Banks hereunder shall be made pro rata according to their respective
         Commitments. The Loans may be made as Revolving Loans and as a Term
         Loan as follows:

                  A. Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of
         this credit agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Banks shall
         make a Loan or Loans to Borrower in such amount or amounts as Borrower
         may from time to time request, but not exceeding in aggregate principal
         amount at any one time outstanding hereunder the Revolving Credit
         Commitment. Borrower shall have the option, subject to the terms and
         conditions set forth herein, to borrow hereunder up to the amount of
         the Revolving Credit Commitment

                                        2

         by means of any combination of (a) Prime Rate Loans maturing on the
         last day of the Commitment Period, bearing interest at a rate per annum
         which shall be the Adjusted Prime Rate from time to time in effect and
         drawn down in aggregate amounts of not less than Five Hundred Thousand
         Dollars ($500,000) or any multiple thereof, or (b) LIBOR Loans maturing
         on the last day of the Commitment Period, drawn down in aggregate
         amounts of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or any
         multiple thereof, bearing interest at a rate per annum which shall be
         the Derived LIBOR Rate, fixed in advance of each Interest Period as
         herein provided for each such Interest Period. Interest hereunder shall
         be based on a year having 360 days, and calculated for the actual
         number of days elapsed.

                  Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of
         Prime Rate Loans outstanding from time to time from the date thereof
         until paid, on the last day of each succeeding June, September,
         December and March of each year and at the maturity thereof, commencing
         June 30, 1995. Borrower shall pay interest at a fixed rate for each
         Interest Period on the unpaid principal amount of LIBOR Loans
         outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid, payable
         on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period
         (provided that if an Interest Period exceed three months, the interest
         must be paid every three months, commencing three (3) months from the
         beginning of such Interest Period).

                  At the request of Borrower, provided no Event of Default
         exists hereunder, the Banks shall convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR
         Loans at any time and shall convert LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans on
         any Interest Adjustment Date, but each request for loans under this
         Paragraph A must either be for Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.

                  The obligation of Borrower to repay the Prime Rate Loans and
         the LIBOR Loans made by each Bank and to pay interest thereon shall be
         evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note of Borrower substantially in the
         form of Exhibit A hereto, with appropriate insertions, dated the date
         of this credit agreement and payable to the order of such Bank on the
         last day of the Commitment Period in the principal amount of its
         Revolving Credit Commitment, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid
         principal amount of Revolving Loans made hereunder by such Bank. The
         principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans and the LIBOR Loans made by
         each Bank and all prepayments and payments thereof and the applicable
         dates with respect thereto shall be recorded by each Bank from time to
         time on the records of such Bank by such method as each Bank may
         generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such
         entry shall in no way detract from Borrower's obligations under such
         Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans
         set forth on the records of such Bank shall be rebuttably presumptive
         evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Revolving
         Credit Note. If an Event of Default shall occur hereunder, the
         principal of the Revolving Credit Note and the unpaid interest thereon
         shall bear interest, 




                                       3
<PAGE>   4





         until paid (or until, if ever, such Event of Default may be waived in
         writing by the Banks), at a rate per annum which shall be two per cent
         (2%) in excess of the Adjusted Prime Rate from time to time in effect.
         Subject to the provisions of this credit agreement, Borrower shall be
         entitled under this Paragraph A to borrow funds, repay the same in
         whole or in part and reborrow hereunder at any time and from time to
         time during the Commitment Period.

                  B. Term Loan. Subject to the conditions of this credit
         agreement, the Banks will make a seven (7) year Term Loan to Borrower
         in such amount, if any, as Borrower may request on the Closing Date,
         but not exceeding the Term Loan Commitment of such Bank then in effect.
         To evidence the Term Loan, Borrower shall execute and deliver to each
         Bank an appropriate Term Note dated the date the Term Loan is to be
         made, and substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, with
         appropriate insertions. The Term Notes shall be payable in twenty-four
         (24) consecutive quarter annual installments aggregating One Million
         Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) for each quarter,
         commencing June 30, 1996 and continuing on the last day of each
         succeeding September, December, March and June of each year, through
         December 31, 2001, with the balance thereof payable in full on March
         31, 2002. Borrower shall notify the Agent at the time of the request
         whether the Term Loan will be a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan. The
         Term Loan must be either a Prime Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and may not
         be a mixture of a Prime Rate Loan and a LIBOR Loan; but the Banks, at
         the request of Borrower, shall convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR
         Loan at any time and shall convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan on
         any Interest Adjustment Date. Interest hereunder shall be based on a
         year having 360 days, and calculated for the actual number of days
         elapsed.

                  If the Term Loan is a Prime Rate Loan, Borrower shall pay
         interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof outstanding from time
         to time from the date thereof until paid, on the last day of each
         succeeding June, September, December, and March of each year and at the
         maturity thereof, commencing June 30, 1995, at a rate per annum which
         shall be the Adjusted Prime Rate from time to time in effect. Any
         change in such rate resulting from a change in the Adjusted Prime Rate
         shall be effective immediately from and after such change in the
         Adjusted Prime Rate. If the Term Loan is a LIBOR Loan, Borrower shall
         pay interest at a fixed rate for each Interest Period on the unpaid
         principal amount of the LIBOR Loan outstanding from time to time from
         the date thereof until paid, payable on each Interest Adjustment Date
         with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an Interest Period
         exceeds three months, the interest must be paid every three months,
         commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period), at
         a rate per annum which shall be the Derived LIBOR Rate, fixed in
         advance of each Interest Period as herein provided for each such
         Interest Period.

                  The principal amount of the Prime Rate Loans and the LIBOR
         Loans made by each Bank and all prepayments and payments thereof and
         the applicable dates with respect thereto shall be recorded by such
         Bank from time to time on the records of such Bank by such method as
         each Bank may generally employ. The aggregate unpaid amount of Prime

         presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on each
         Term Note; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall
         in no way detract from Borrower's obligations under such Note. If an
         Event of Default shall occur hereunder, the principal of each Term Note
         and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid (or
         until, if ever, such Event of Default may be waived in writing by the
         Banks), at a rate per annum which shall be two per cent (2%) in excess
         of the Adjusted Prime Rate from time to time in effect.

         5. Section 5.21 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety with the following to be inserted in place thereof:

                  SECTION 5.21. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Borrower and its
         Consolidated Subsidiaries shall not invest in Capital Expenditures more
         than an aggregate amount equal to Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000)
         during the 1996 fiscal year of Borrower and during each fiscal year
         thereafter.

         6. Sections 2.5, 8.1 and 8.2 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended
to delete the references to Letter of Credit, or the obligation of the Agent of
the Banks to issue any Letter of Credit.

         7. Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety.

         8. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add a new replacement
Annex 1 in the form of Schedule I, attached hereto.

         9. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the Banks
that (a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this
Fourth Amendment Agreement; (b) officials executing this Fourth Amendment
Agreement have been duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind
Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery
hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by Borrower of the
provisions hereof do not violate or conflict with the organizational agreements
of Borrower or any law applicable to Borrower or result in a breach of any
provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or
document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Possible Default
or Event of Default exists under the Credit Agreement, nor will any occur
immediately after the execution and delivery of the Fourth Amendment Agreement
or by the performance or observance of any provision hereof; (e) neither
Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any claim or offset against, or defense or
counterclaim to, any of Borrower's or any Subsidiary's obligations or
liabilities under the Credit Agreement or any Related Writing, and Borrower and
each Subsidiary hereby waives and releases the Agent and each of the Banks from
any and all such

claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims of which Borrower and any Subsidiary
is aware, such waiver and release being with full knowledge and understanding of
the circumstances and effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel
with respect thereto, and (f) this Fourth Amendment Agreement constitutes a
valid and binding obligation of Borrower in every respect, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

         10. Each reference that is made in the Credit Agreement or any other
writing shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, all provisions
of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected
hereby.

         11. This Fourth Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

         12. The rights and obligations of all parties hereto shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Ohio.
