NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS
 
     On August 1, 1997 the Company acquired substantially all of the shares of
Arden Industrial Products, Inc. ("Arden") for cash of approximately $44 million.
The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase. Arden is a supplier of
specialty and standard fasteners to the industrial market. Arden is included in
the Company's Integrated Logistics Solutions segment.
 
     The following is the estimated value of the net assets of Arden as of
August 1, 1997:

</TABLE>
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company acquired four other
businesses for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.6 million. Each
of these transactions was accounted for as a purchase, resulting in excess
purchase price over net assets acquired of approximately $8.6 million. The
following unaudited pro-forma results of operations assume the acquisitions of
Arden and the other businesses occurred on January 1, 1997. These pro forma
results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to
be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted
had the acquisitions occurred on the date indicated, or which may result in the
future.

NOTE D -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     At March 31, 1998, capital stock consists of (i) Serial Preferred Stock of

NOTE E -- NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued statement
No. 128 "Earnings per Share." Statement 128 replaced the calculation of primary
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
Earnings per share amounts for the period ended March 31, 1997 have been
restated to conform to the Statement 128 requirements which were adopted on
December 31, 1997.
 
     The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
earnings per share:

NOTE F -- LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     In February, 1998 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 1998
Long-Term Incentive Plan as a replacement for the Company's Amended and Restated
1992 Stock Option Plan. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 550,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock and is subject to shareholder approval.
 
NOTE G -- CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
 
     In February, 1998 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a proposal
to reorganize the Company into a holding company form of ownership ("the
Reorganization"). The Reorganization proposal contemplates a tax-free merger
("Merger") involving the Company, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company ( the
"Holding Company") and a newly formed subsidiary of the Holding Company ("Merger
Sub"). As a result of the Merger, (i) the shareholders of the Company would
become shareholders of the Holding Company, (ii) the Company would become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, (iii) Merger Sub would be merged
out of existence and (iv) in all other respects, the pre-merger corporate
structure of the Company and its subsidiaries will remain unchanged. The
proposal is subject to shareholder approval.
 
NOTE H -- ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
     The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
Income", at the beginning of 1998. Statement 130 establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive earnings and its components in financial
statements; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the
Company's net earnings. Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation
adjustments to be included in other comprehensive earnings. Prior year financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of Statement
130. There were no material differences between net income and comprehensive
earnings for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.
 
     The FASB has issued two accounting pronouncements which the Company will
adopt in the fourth quarter of 1998. FASB Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and FASB Statement No. 132,
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits -- an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106" both expand or modify
disclosures and accordingly, will have no impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
NOTE I -- RECLASSIFICATION
 
     Certain amounts in the prior period's financial statements have been
reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
 
     We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, the consolidated statement of shareholders' equity for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
 
     We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed
for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
 
     Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated February 16, 1998, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
 
     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and it subsidiaries after elimination of material
intercompany transactions and balances. The financial information for the period
ended March 31, 1997, is not directly comparable to the financial information
for the period ended March 31, 1998, due to the 1997 acquisitions ("1997
Acquisitions"). During 1997, the Company acquired five businesses; two of which
were in the first quarter and three subsequent to the first quarter. The largest
of the 1997 Acquisitions was Arden Industrial Products, Inc. ("Arden") which was
acquired for $44 million as of August 1, 1997. Arden is a national supplier of
specialty and standard fasteners to the industrial market. In addition,
subsequent to March 31, 1997, the Company acquired two other businesses for an
aggregate purchase price approximating $14 million. All acquisitions were
accounted for as purchases and consequently their results are included in the
consolidated financial statements from their respective date of being acquired.
 
OVERVIEW
 
     The Company operates diversified manufacturing ("Manufactured Products")
and logistics ("Integrated Logistics Solutions" or "ILS") businesses that serve
a wide variety of industrial markets. Manufactured Products designs and
manufactures a broad range of high quality products engineered for specific
customer applications. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and end-users in the automotive,
railroad, truck and aerospace industries. ILS is a leading national supplier of
fasteners (e.g., nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to OEMs,
other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such
industrial products, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective
procurement solutions. The principal customers of ILS are in the transportation,
industrial, electrical and lawn and garden equipment industries.
 
     The Company announced on March 4, 1998 that it is planning to cause ILS to
issue shares of common stock to the public. ILS is comprised of RB&W Corporation
and Arden, the operating companies of the Company's logistics business. It is
anticipated that a registration statement will be filed in the third quarter of
1998 and that the offering will be completed during 1998.
 
     A registration statement relating to these securities has not been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The offering
will be made only by means of a prospectus. This disclosure shall not constitute
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any
sale of these securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities
laws of any State.
 
     The statements herein regarding the filing of a registration statement, the
timing of the offering and any other future aspects relating to the offering and
other statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.
Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
market conditions (including the price and market for the common stock) and
other factors detailed herein under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements."
 
     Between 1994 and 1997, the Company has grown significantly, both internally
and through acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased at
a 50.4% compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"), from $129.2 million to $441.1
million, and income from continuing operations on a fully taxed basis increased
at a 40.2% CAGR from $4.1 million to $11.3 million.
 
     Recent growth has been primarily attributable to the Company's strategy of
making selective acquisitions in order to complement internal growth.
Historically, the Company has acquired underperforming businesses with potential
for: (i) significant cost reductions through improved labor, supplier and
customer relations and increased purchasing power and (ii) revenue enhancement
due to better asset utilization and management practices, as well as increased
access to capital. The Company's internal growth has been driven primarily by
the addition of ILS customers under total fastening service ("TFS") contracts
and by the leveraging of existing customer relationships at Manufactured
Products.

     Between January 1, 1994 and March 31, 1998, the Company's continuing
operations incurred $44.0 million of capital expenditures, the majority of which
was used to expand and upgrade existing manufacturing facilities and enhance the
Company's management information systems.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
FIRST THREE MONTHS 1998 VERSUS FIRST THREE MONTHS 1997
 
     Net sales increased by $42.7 million, or 46%, from $93.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $136.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. Approximately 31% of this increase was attributable to internal
growth and 69% was a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. Of the internal sales
growth, approximately 91% was primarily attributable to ILS and the addition of
TFS customers and the remainder was due to increased orders from Manufactured
Products' customers. Of the growth in net sales attributable to the 1997
acquisitions, the majority applies to ILS and primarily pertains to Arden which
was acquired as of August 1, 1997.
 
     Gross profit increased by $8.3 million, or 55%, from $15.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $23.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. Of the increase, 65% relates to the 1997 Acquisitions and 35%
was due to internal growth, primarily ILS. A majority of the increase
attributable to the 1997 Acquisitions was related to Arden. The Company's
consolidated gross margin increased to 17.1% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 from 16.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase in
consolidated gross margin was due to a change in the Company's revenue mix and
to increased production in the manufactured products segment thereby allocating
fixed manufacturing overhead over a greater production base.
 
     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 43% to $14.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $9.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. Approximately 65% of such increase was related to the 1997
Acquisitions while the remainder related to the increase in internally generated
net sales. The relationship of consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses to net sales was approximately 10% for both periods.
 
     Interest expense increased by $2.6 million from $1.6 million for the period
ended March 31, 1997 to $4.2 million for the period ended March 31, 1998 due to
higher average debt outstanding during the current period and to higher average
interest rates in 1998 versus 1997. For the three month period ended March 31,
1998, the Company averaged outstanding borrowings of $182.6 million as compared
to $88.9 million outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Of the
increase of $93.7 million, $58 million related to acquisitions and the remainder
primarily related to working capital increases to sustain the growth in
business. The average borrowing rate of 9.1% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 is 1.8% higher than the average rate of 7.3% for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 primarily because of the $150 million bond offering in the fall
of 1997 which carries a coupon rate of 9.25% versus a 7.3% rate on the bank debt
it replaced.
 
     The effective income tax rate at March 31, 1998, was 43% as compared to 37%
at March 31, 1997. The increase in the effective rate is directly attributable
to an increase in expenses recorded for financial reporting purposes, but not
deductible for income tax purposes, primarily certain goodwill amortization.
 
     At December 31, 1997, subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $9.4 million, subject to certain
limitations that expire between 2001 and 2007.
 
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
 
     The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital
expenditures. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been funds
provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit
arrangements. On January 14, 1998, the Company executed a "New Credit Agreement"
for $100 million on an unsecured basis from a group of banks which will be used
for general corporate purposes. The New Credit Agreement expires on April 30,
2001. Amounts borrowed under the New Credit
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   14
 
Agreement may be borrowed at the Company's election at either (i) the bank's
prime lending rate less 1% or (ii) LIBOR plus 90 basis points. As of March 31,
1998, $37.5 million was outstanding under the facility.
 
     On November 25, 1997, the Company sold $150 million of its 9.25% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007. The Company used the net proceeds of the Senior
Notes along with borrowings under its new credit facility to (i) redeem its
7 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2004 and (ii) to
repay substantially all amounts of its then existing credit facility.
 
     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 1998 are
anticipated to be approximately $16.0 million which will be used to invest in
the Company's current facilities for projected new business, for scheduled
improvements and new equipment to expand existing products.
 
     The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.79 at March 31,
1998 versus 2.83 at December 31, 1997. Working capital increased by $15.2
million to $161.6 million at March 31, 1998 from $146.4 million at December 31,
1997 as a result of increases necessary to support the scheduled internal growth
of the Company.
 
     During the three month period ended March 31, 1998, the Company generated
$6.6 million from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities.
After giving effect to the use of $18.5 million in the operating accounts, the
Company used $11.9 million for operating activities. During the period, the
Company used $6.3 million for capital expenditures. These activities were funded
by a net increase in bank borrowings of $17.5 million and a decrease in cash
balances of $1.0 million.
 
SEASONALITY; VARIABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS
 
     As a result of the significant growth in the Company's net sales and
operating income in recent years, seasonal fluctuations have been substantially
mitigated. The Company, however, performs scheduled plant maintenance in the
third quarter to coincide with customer plant shut downs.
 
     The timing of orders placed by the Company's customers has varied with,
among other factors, orders for customers' finished goods, customer production
schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The
variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted
in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the
Company's business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the
businesses in the Capital Equipment Group included in the Manufactured Products
segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year. In addition, the
Company experiences seasonality in the Kay Home Products, Inc. ("Kay Home
Products") operating unit of the Metal Forming Group included in the
Manufactured Products segment. Kay Home Products' goods are typically used by
consumers in the spring and summer and consequently its first two quarters of
operating results are typically the strongest.
