                         Report of Independent Auditors


Plan Administrative Committee
Individual Account Retirement Plan of
   Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and Other
   Sponsoring Corporations


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Individual Account Retirement Plan of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
and Other Sponsoring Corporations as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in nets assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the purposes of
complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The Fund information in the
statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. The
supplemental schedules and Fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the 1997 and 1996 financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
1997 and 1996 financial statements taken as a whole.

A.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting records of the Individual Account Retirement Plan (the "Plan")
are maintained on the accrual basis.

Purchases of investments are recorded at cost and revalued to market values at
the close of each day by the Plan Trustee. All investments are under the control
and management of Key Trust Company of Ohio N.A., the Trustee of the Plan.

Purchases and sales are accounted for on the trade date.

Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported as
net income derived from investment activities and are allocated among the
individual accounts in proportion to their respective balances immediately
preceding the valuation date.

The investments in Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (the "Company") common stock,
KeyCorp Victory Value Fund, KeyCorp Victory Intermediate Income Bond Fund,
KeyCorp Victory International Growth Fund, Fidelity Advisor Income & Growth
Fund, Fidelity Advisor Equity Income Fund T, Putnam New Opportunities Fund,
Templeton Growth Fund, and George Putnam Fund of Boston are valued as of the
last reported trade price on the last business day of the period.

Investments in the KeyCorp Prism Money Market Fund are valued at market, which
consider adjustments to the fund value for investment income and trustee
expenses.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

       appreciation. The fund may invest up to 35% in below investment grade

B.     DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED

       George Putnam Fund--contributions and earnings are to be invested in
       marketable equity and debt securities or in any common or collective fund
       comprised substantially of such investments. The fund, which was an
       available investment option as of April 1, 1997, invests in stocks which
       have potential for capital growth and current income.

       Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. Common Stock Fund--contributions and earnings
       are to be invested in common shares of the Company purchased on the open
       market.

The Plan provides for contributions to be made to the Plan pursuant to a
qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code. If a participant elects to have contributions made for him
pursuant to such an arrangement, his compensation is reduced by the amount of
such contributions elected and the employer makes Plan contributions equal to
the amount of the reduction.

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time by resolution of its Board of
Directors. In the event of the termination of the Plan, the beneficial interests
of all participants under the Plan shall become fully vested.

C.     CONTRIBUTIONS

Contributions by employees to the Plan are made via payroll deductions.
Employees may contribute up to 16% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, not
to exceed $9,500, the IRS maximum for 1997 and 1996. Employee contributions are
fully vested and non-forfeitable at all times.

The Plan provides for uniform rates of employer contributions for all eligible
employees, regardless of employment classification, so that each participant is
entitled to basic contributions equal to two percent of credited compensation
paid by the employer. The basic contribution is allocated among the investment
options based on individual participant's investment allocation designation.

C.     CONTRIBUTIONS--CONTINUED

Contributions refundable to participants represent current year contributions
that must be returned to employees to ensure Plan compliance with additional
limitations in the Internal Revenue Code on contributions by highly compensated
individuals. The employee contribution receivable is shown net of the
contributions refundable. The total contributions refundable to participants
were $0 and $58,654 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Plan implemented the Trust Talk System of Key
Trust Company, which allows participants to make changes to their account via
the telephone. The current provision of the system permits a participant to
change investment allocation percentages once every 30 days and change payroll
deferral percentages on the first day of every quarter.

D.     PARTICIPANT LOANS

A participant may borrow from employee 401(k) contributions and earnings a
minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of the lesser of 50% of the participant's
eligible account or $50,000. Loan repayments are made via payroll deductions on
after-tax dollars, which commence thirty to sixty days after receipt and
acceptance of the loan check. Terms of the participant loan are five years for a
personal loan and 15 years for a mortgage loan, with interest payable at prime
plus one percent.

F.     BENEFITS

A participant is entitled to receive the full value of his account upon (1)
normal retirement at age 65; (2) attainment of at least age 55 and 10 years of
service; (3) death, or total and permanent disability as determined by the Plan
Administrator upon the basis of competent medical opinion, or (4) termination of
employment after seven years of credited service. Such benefits may be paid in a
lump sum cash payment or through the purchase of a single premium annuity
contract.

In the event of termination of employment, a participant has a vested right in
his share of the Company's contributions determined as follows:

At least 5 years but less than 6 years                      60
At least 6 years but less than 7 years                      80
7 years or more                                            100
</TABLE>

The portion of the Company's contributions that are not vested in such
terminated participants will generally be forfeited and may be used to reduce
the Company's future contributions to the Plan. The total of forfeited
contributions was $49,529 and $15,858 in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

A participant may withdraw in cash a portion of his contributions subject to
certain limitations and restrictions. The hardship withdrawal may be used to
purchase a principal residence, avoid foreclosure on a mortgage, or pay bona
fide medical or education expenditures.

G.     TRANSFER OF ASSETS

Effective January 1, 1996, former participants in the RB&W Employee Stock
Ownership Plan who are active participants in the Plan, have the option of
transferring their balances from the RB&W Employee Stock Ownership Plan to the
Plan. The value of assets transferred to the Plan during the year were $39,426
in 1997 and $3,962,630 in 1996, respectively.

H.     TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

There were no reportable transactions with parties-in-interest during the year.

I.     INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is, therefore, not
subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is
required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.
The Plan Administrative Committee is not aware of any course of action or series
of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified
status. The tax-exempt status of the Plan does not apply to the taxability of
distributions to participants under the Plan.

K.     YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)

The Company has developed a plan to modify its internal information technology
to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. The project also includes determining whether third party service
providers have reasonable plans in place to become year 2000 compliant. The
Company currently expects the project to be substantially complete by early
1999. The Company does not expect this project to have a significant effect on
plan operations.
