ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

     Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. ("Holdings") was incorporated as an Ohio
corporation in 1998. Holdings, primarily through the subsidiaries owned by its
direct subsidiary, Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. ("Park-Ohio") is a leading
provider of logistics services and a manufacturer of highly engineered products.
Reference herein to the "Company" includes, where applicable, Holdings,
Park-Ohio and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and its predecessor
companies, which have operated for more than 150 years.

     The Company operates through three segments, Integrated Logistics Solutions
("ILS"), Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products, which serve a wide variety
of industrial markets. ILS is a leading national supplier of fasteners (e.g.,
nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to original equipment
manufacturers ("OEMs"), other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with
the supply of such industrial products, ILS provides a variety of value-added,
cost-effective procurement solutions. The principal customers of ILS are OEMs in
the transportation, industrial, electrical and lawn and garden equipment
industries. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum components primarily
for automotive OEMs. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such
as design and engineering, machining and assembly. Manufactured Products is a
diverse group of manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad
range of high quality products which includes capital equipment, rubber products
and forged and machined products for specific customer applications. The
principal customers of Manufactured Products are end-users in the automotive,
railroad, truck and aerospace industries. Between 1995 and 1999, the Company
grew significantly, through both internal growth and acquisitions. Over this
period, the Company's net sales increased from $289.5 million to $717.2 million,
income from continuing operations before income taxes increased from $12.9
million to $28.4 million, and EBITDA increased from $24.9 million to $71.9
million. As of December 31, 1999, the Company employed approximately 4,100
persons.

INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS

     ILS is a leading national supplier of over 175,000 standard and specialty
fasteners and other industrial products pursuant to either supply chain
management agreements or traditional wholesale supply arrangements. ILS operates
out of branches located throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico,
Mexico and England, and has a central distribution center located in Dayton,
Ohio. ILS generated net sales of $443.1 million, or 62% of the Company's net
sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The four largest customers,
comprised of many divisions, accounted for approximately 23% of sales of ILS.
The loss of any one of these customers would have an adverse effect on this
segment.

     Products and Services. Supply chain management, which is ILS' primary focus
for future growth, involves offering customers procurement solutions and
comprehensive, on-site management for most of their fastener and related
hardware needs. Supply chain management customers receive value-added services,
such as part usage and cost analysis, product redesign recommendations, supplier
selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking,
just-in-time delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical
support. Supply chain management services are typically provided to customers
pursuant to total fastening services ("TFS") contracts. TFS contracts enable
ILS' customers to both reduce procurement costs and better focus on their
companies' core manufacturing competencies by: (i) significantly reducing the
administrative and labor costs associated with fastener procurement by
outsourcing certain internal purchasing, quality control and inventory
fulfillment responsibilities; (ii) reducing the amount of working capital
invested in inventory; (iii) achieving purchasing efficiencies as a result of
vendor consolidation; and (iv) receiving technical expertise in the selection of
fasteners and other components for certain manufacturing processes. Management
believes that TFS contracts foster longer-lasting supply relationships with
customers, who increasingly rely on the Company for their fastener needs, as
compared to traditional buy/sell distribution relationships. Sales pursuant to
TFS contracts have increased significantly in recent years and represented over
61% of ILS' net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in TFS
contracts has caused an increased investment in inventory in order to meet
customer just-in-time delivery requirements. ILS' remaining sales are generated
through the wholesale supply of fasteners and other industrial products to OEMs,
other manufacturers and distributors pursuant to master or authorized
distributor relationships.

     ILS supplies standard and specialty engineered fasteners such as nuts,
bolts, screws and washers on a fully integrated basis. ILS engineers and
manufactures precision cold formed and cold extruded products including
locknuts, SPAC(R) nuts and wheel hardware, which are principally used in
applications where controlled tightening is required due to high vibration.
These are manufactured by shaping cold raw materials. Standard and specialty
nuts are produced to customer specifications, which are used in large volumes by
customers in the automotive, truck and railroad industries.

     In addition to fasteners, ILS supplies, among other things, valves,
fittings, clamps and rubber products, which currently represent approximately
10% of ILS' net sales. ILS also provides engineering

                                        2
<PAGE>   5

and design services to its customers. Applications-engineering specialists and
the direct sales force work closely with the engineering staff of OEM customers
to recommend the appropriate fasteners for a new product or to suggest
alternative fasteners that reduce overall production costs, streamline assembly
or enhance the appearance or performance of the end product.

     Markets and Customers. In 1999, approximately 90% of ILS' net sales were to
domestic customers. Remaining sales were primarily to Canada and Mexico. The
domestic industrial fastener market is estimated by industry sources to have
generated between $7 and $9 billion in annual sales in 1999 at the wholesale
level. Fasteners are used extensively by OEMs in a variety of industries, and
demand is generally related to the state of the economy and to the overall level
of manufacturing activity.

     ILS markets and sells fasteners and other industrial products to over
15,000 customers domestically and internationally. The principal markets served
by ILS are transportation equipment, including manufacturers of heavy trucks and
recreational vehicles; automotive parts and accessories; industrial equipment;
electrical equipment, including manufacturers of electrical controls; appliances
and motors; lawn and garden equipment and HVAC.

     In recent years, OEMs have made it a priority to reduce their total cost of
purchasing and handling fasteners. Due to the low unit cost and the large number
of different fasteners used to manufacture or assemble a single product,
administrative and overhead costs comprise a substantial portion of an OEM's
fastener-related costs. As a result, management believes industrial fastener
suppliers are consolidating as OEMs rely on fewer suppliers to achieve
purchasing efficiencies. ILS provides a wide array of value-added services and
is a reliable source for just-in-time delivery and is well positioned to
capitalize on these trends. In addition, OEMs are increasingly relying on
fastener suppliers to provide design and applications-engineering support,
enabling more efficient use of internal engineering resources thereby allowing
ILS to increase the amount of low unit cost fastener and non-fastener items
supplied to OEMs.

     Competition. The industrial fastener supply industry is highly competitive
and fragmented. Management believes that substantially all of ILS' competitors
operate on a regional basis and do not provide customers with the wide array of
supply chain management services offered by ILS. ILS competes primarily on the
basis of its value-added services, delivery capabilities, extensive product
selection and price with primarily domestic competitors who are capable of
providing inventory management programs.

ALUMINUM PRODUCTS

     In January, 1999 the Company acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy
Corporation ("Metalloy"). Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and
machining company.

     The Aluminum Products segment generated net sales of $127.1 million, or 18%
of the Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The three
largest customers, of which the Company sells to multiple operating divisions,
accounted for approximately 92% of Aluminum Products sales in 1999. The loss of
any one of these customers would have a material adverse effect on this segment.
Aluminum permanent mold, sand casted, and die casted products are produced at
Aluminum Products multiple locations in five states. Management believes
Aluminum Products is one of the few automotive part suppliers that has the
capabilities of providing permanent mold, sand-casted and die-casted products.

     Aluminum Products' cast aluminum parts are critical components manufactured
primarily for automotive OEMs. Aluminum Products' principal automotive products
include: transmission pump housings, intake manifolds, planetary pinion
carriers, oil filter adapters, clutch retainers, rotor castings and bearing
cups. In addition, Aluminum Products manufactures products for non-automotive
end users such as surgical table components, light housings and electrical meter
housings. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as secondary
casting, machining, drilling, tapping and part assembly. Although these parts
are lightweight, they possess high durability and integrity characteristics even
under extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Demand by automotive OEMs for
aluminum

                                        3
<PAGE>   6

castings has increased in recent years as OEMs have sought lighter alternatives
to heavier steel and iron components. Lighter aluminum cast components increase
an automobile's fuel efficiency without decreasing its structural integrity.
Management believes this replacement trend will continue as government standards
regarding fuel efficiency become increasingly stringent. Aluminum Products sells
its products primarily to customers located in North America. The market for
aluminum castings is comprised of two segments: automotive and non-automotive.
The domestic aluminum castings industry is highly competitive. Aluminum Products
competes principally on the basis of its ability to: (i) engineer and
manufacture high quality, machined castings in large volumes; (ii) provide
timely delivery; and (iii) retain the manufacturing flexibility necessary to
quickly adjust to the needs of its customers. Although there are a number of
smaller domestic companies with aluminum casting capabilities, the automotive
industry's stringent quality and service standards enable only large suppliers
with the requisite quality certifications to compete effectively. As one of
these suppliers, Aluminum Products has benefited in recent years as automotive
OEMs have consolidated their supplier base.

MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS

     The Manufactured Products segment includes forged and machined products,
capital equipment, industrial rubber products and other manufactured products.
Manufactured Products generated net sales of $147 million, or 20% of the
Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1999. The three largest
customers, of which the Company sells to multiple operating divisions, accounted
for approximately 20% of Manufactured Products sales in 1999. The loss of
business from any one of these customers would have an adverse effect on this
segment.

     The Company's forged and machined products business is carried out at four
operating units consisting of Park Drop Forge, Ohio Crankshaft, Park-Ohio
Structural Hardware, and Blue Falcon Forge. The forging process enables metal to
be shaped while generally retaining higher structural integrity than metal
shaped through other processes. Park Drop Forge manufactures closed-die metal
forgings of up to 6,000 pounds, including crankshafts and aircraft landing
gears, primarily for customers in the railroad and aerospace industries. Park
Drop Forge's products are sold primarily to machining companies, including Ohio
Crankshaft and subassemblers who finish the products for sale to OEMs in the
railroad and aerospace industries. Ohio Crankshaft machines, induction hardens
and surface finishes crankshafts and camshafts used primarily in locomotives,

     The Company manufactures injection and transfer molded products, lathe-cut
goods, roll coverings and various items requiring rubber to metal bonding for
use in industrial applications through three operating units consisting of
Castle Rubber, Cicero Flexible Products and Geneva Rubber. Castle manufactures
valve seals, power and conveyor rolls and slitter rings. Cicero is a developer
and manufacturer of injection molded silicone rubber products for customers in
the automotive, food processing and consumer appliance industries, such as wire
harnesses, spark plug boots and nipples and general sealing gaskets. Geneva is a
manufacturer of injection molded rubber products for customers in the
automotive, telecommunications and heavy truck industries. Its products include
primary wire harnesses, transoceanic cable boots and shock and vibration mounts.
The industrial rubber products operating units compete primarily on the basis of
price and product quality with other domestic small to medium-sized
manufacturers of rubber products.

SALES AND MARKETING

     ILS markets its products and services in the United States, Mexico, Canada
and Europe, primarily through its direct sales force, which is assisted by
applications engineers who provide the technical expertise necessary to assist
the engineering staff of OEM customers in designing new products and improving
existing products. ILS often obtains new customers as a result of referrals from
existing customers. Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products markets and
sells its products through both internal sales personnel and independent sales
representatives. In some instances, the internal engineering staff assists in
the sales and marketing effort through joint design and applications-engineering
efforts with major customers. In addition, Manufactured Products markets certain
of its products through various regional and national trade shows.

RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS

     ILS purchases substantially all of its fasteners from third party
suppliers. Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products purchase substantially
all of their raw materials, principally metals and certain component parts
incorporated into their products, from third-party suppliers and manufacturers.
Management believes that raw materials and component parts other than certain
specialty fasteners are available from alternative sources. ILS has multiple
sources of supply for standard products, but has limited supply sources for
certain specialty products. Approximately 12% of ILS' fasteners are purchased
from suppliers in foreign countries, primarily Taiwan, Japan and Korea. The
Company is dependent upon the ability of such suppliers to meet stringent
quality and performance standards and to conform to delivery schedules. Most raw
materials required by Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products are commodity
products available from several domestic suppliers.

BACKLOG

     Management believes that backlog is not a meaningful measure for ILS, as a
majority of ILS' customers require just-in-time delivery of fasteners and other
industrial products. Management believes that Aluminum Products' and
Manufactured Products' backlog as of any particular date is not a meaningful
measure of sales for any future period as a significant portion of sales are on
a release or firm order basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

     The Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and
regulations designed to protect public health and the environment
("Environmental Laws"), particularly with regard to discharges and emissions, as
well as handling, storage, treatment and disposal, of various substances and
wastes. Pursuant to certain Environmental Laws, owners or operators of
facilities may be liable for the costs of response or other corrective actions
for contamination identified at or emanating from current

                                        5
<PAGE>   8

or former locations, without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or
was responsible for, the presence of any such contamination, and for related
damages to natural resources. Additionally, persons who arrange for the disposal
or treatment of hazardous substances or materials may be liable for costs of
response at sites where they are located, whether or not the site is owned or
operated by such person.

     The Company believes that it is currently in material compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws. In general, the Company has not experienced
difficulty in complying with Environmental Laws in the past, and compliance with
Environmental Laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The Company's capital
expenditures on environmental control facilities were not material during the
past five years and such expenditures are not expected to be material to the
Company in the foreseeable future.

     The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at
certain third-party sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or comparable state laws
which provide for strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several
liability. The Company is participating in the cost of certain clean-up efforts
at several of these sites. The availability of third-party payments or insurance
for environmental remediation activities is subject to risks associated with the
willingness and ability of the third party to make payments. However, the
Company's share of such costs has not been material and based on available
information, the Company does not expect its exposure at any of these locations
to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or
financial condition.

(a) The selected consolidated financial data is not directly comparable on a
    year-to-year basis due to acquisitions made throughout the five years ended
    December 31, 1999 which include the following:

        1999 -- The Metalloy Corporation, Columbia Nut and Bolt Corp.,
                Industrial Fasteners Corporation, M.P. Colinet, St Louis Screw
                and Bolt and PMC Industries.

        1998 -- Direct Fasteners Limited and GIS Industries, Inc.

        1997 -- Arden Industrial Products, Inc.

        1995 -- RB & W Corporation

    All of the acquisitions were accounted for as purchases.

(b) Operating income is defined as net sales less cost of products sold,
    selling, general and administrative expenses and a restructuring charge. In
    1996, the Company incurred a restructuring charge of $2.7 million related to
    the consolidation of three of the Company's manufacturing facilities into
    one and the discontinuation of certain product lines.

(c) In 1996, other income was comprised of (i) a gain of $2.7 million in
    connection with the full settlement of subordinated notes receivable
    resulting from the sale of two manufacturing facilities and (ii) a gain of
    $1.5 million on the sale of certain securities by the Company in the third
    quarter of 1996.

(d) EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest,
    income taxes, depreciation, amortization, other income and non-recurring
    items. Non-recurring items include a restructuring charge of $2.7 million in
    the fourth quarter of 1996 related to the consolidation of three of the
    Company's manufacturing facilities into one and the discontinuation of
    certain product lines. EBITDA is not a measure of performance under
    generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). While EBITDA should not
    be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows
    from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data
    prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of profitability or
    liquidity, management understands that EBITDA is customarily used as an
    indication of a company's ability to incur and service debt. See
    "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations" for a discussion of other measures of liquidity and operations
    that are covered by the audited financial

statements. EBITDA as defined herein may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures of other companies.

ITEM 7. 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 Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The historical financial
information is not directly comparable on a year-to-year basis due to
acquisitions made in 1999 and 1998. During 1999, the Company acquired six
businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $65.4 million. In January, the
Company acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy") and
substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw & Bolt Co. ("St. Louis
Screw"). Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company. St.
Louis Screw is a manufacturer of bolts used in the construction industry. In
February, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of PMC
Industries, ("PMC") and, in September, the Company acquired all of the shares of
M.P. Colinet ("Colinet"). PMC and Colinet provide capital equipment and
associated parts for the oil drilling industry. In July, the Company acquired
all of the shares of Columbia Nut and Bolt Corp. ("Columbia") and Industrial
Fasteners Corporation ("Industrial"). Columbia and Industrial are logistics
providers of fastener related components. During 1998, the Company acquired two
businesses for $40.2 million. In October, the Company acquired all of the shares
of GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). Gateway is a logistics provider of
fastener-related components and a manufacturer of metal products and fasteners.
In April, the Company acquired all of the shares of Direct Fasteners Limited
("Direct"), a logistics provider of fastener related components located in
Ontario, Canada. Each of these transactions has been accounted for as a purchase
and consequently their results are included in the consolidated financial
statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

OVERVIEW

     The Company operates diversified manufacturing and logistics businesses
that serve a wide variety of industrial markets. During the first quarter of
1999 the Company, upon completion of the acquisition of Metalloy, redefined and
restated its operating segments. The Company manages its businesses based upon
three operating segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS"), Aluminum
Products and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading national supplier of
fasteners (e.g., nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to
original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), other manufacturers and distributors.
In connection with the supply of such industrial products, ILS provides a
variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement solutions. The principal
customers of ILS are in the transportation, industrial, electrical and lawn and
garden equipment industries. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum
components primarily for automotive OEMs. Aluminum Products also provides
value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and assembly.
Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses
that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products engineered
for specific customer applications. The principal customers of Manufactured
Products are OEMs and end-users in the automotive, railroad, truck and aerospace
industries.

     Between 1993 and 1999, the Company has grown significantly, both internally
and through acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased at
a 40% compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"), from $94.5 million to $717.2
million, and income from continuing operations on a fully taxed basis increased
at a 38% CAGR from $2.4 million to $16.3 million.

     Recent growth has been primarily attributable to the Company's strategy of
making selective acquisitions in order to complement internal growth. The
Company has acquired 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

                                       10
<PAGE>   13

primarily by the addition of ILS customers under total fastening service ("TFS")
contracts and by the leveraging of existing customer relationships in the
Aluminum and Manufactured Products segments.

     Between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1999, the Company's continuing
operations incurred $86.9 million of capital expenditures, the majority of which
was used to expand existing manufacturing facilities, upgrade equipment and
enhance the Company's management information systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

       1999 versus 1998

     Net sales increased by $165.4 million, or 30%, from $551.8 million in 1998
to $717.2 million in 1999. This growth results primarily from recent
acquisitions and relates to the ILS and the Aluminum Products segments. For ILS,
the growth in net sales amounted to $78.5 million of which $51.7 million related
to acquisitions and the remainder was organic growth. For Aluminum Products, net
sales increased by $87.3 million of which $81.2 million related to the
acquisition of Metalloy and the remainder to internal growth.

     Gross profit increased by $29.2 million, or 30%, from $96.6 million in 1998
to $125.8 million in 1999 and is directly related to acquisitions made in 1999.
The Company's consolidated gross margin of approximately 17.5% was the same for
both periods.

     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 29% to $72.6 million
for 1999 from $56.5 million for 1998. The increase was related to recent
acquisitions. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales were 10.1% during the current period and 10.2% for 1998.

     Interest expense increased by $7.3 million from $17.5 million in 1998 to
$24.8 million in 1999 due to higher average debt outstanding during the current
period offset by lower average interest rates in 1999 versus 1998. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, the Company averaged outstanding borrowings of $294.6
million as compared to $205.3 million for 1998. The $89.3 million increase
related primarily to acquisitions completed during the latter part of 1998 and
in 1999. The average borrowing rate of 8.40% for the year ended December 31,
1999 is 12 basis points lower than the average rate of 8.52% for 1998 primarily
because of increased borrowings under the Company's bank revolving credit which
carries a lower effective interest rate as compared to the 9.25% on the
Company's Senior Subordinated Notes.

     The effective income tax rate for 1999 and 1998 was 43%. At December 31,
1999, subsidiaries of the Company had $1.1 million of net operating loss
carryforwards for federal tax purposes.

  1998 versus 1997

     Net sales increased by $110.7 million, or 25%, from $441.1 million in 1997
to $551.8 million in 1998. Approximately 27% of this increase was attributable
to internal growth and 73% was a result of acquisitions completed in 1997 or
1998. Of the internal sales growth, approximately 66% was primarily attributable
to ILS and the addition of TFS customers, and the remainder was due to increased
orders from Aluminum Products' (11%) and Manufactured Products' (23%) customers.
The growth in net sales from acquisitions applies to ILS and primarily pertains
to Arden and Gateway.

     Gross profit increased by $24.2 million, or 33%, from $72.4 million in 1997
to $96.6 million in 1998. Of the increase, 67% relates to acquisitions and 33%
to internal growth. The Company's consolidated gross margin increased to 17.5%
for 1998 from 16.4% for 1997. This increase in consolidated gross margin was due
to increased margins in both the ILS and Manufactured Products segments offset
by a decrease in Aluminum Products margins. The increase in margin in
Manufactured Products was due to a change in revenue mix and to increased
production thereby allocating fixed manufacturing overhead over a greater
production base. The increase in margins in the ILS segment is a result of
reduced material costs. The decrease in margin in Aluminum Products was the
result of higher than expected start-up costs associated with new facilities
necessitated by significant new orders from a major customer.

                                       11
<PAGE>   14

     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by 27% to $56.5 million
in 1998 from $44.4 million in 1997. Approximately 78% of such increase was
related to acquisitions while the remainder related to the increase in
internally generated net sales. During 1998, selling, general and administrative
expenses benefited from an increase in net pension credits of $2.4 million,
reflecting favorable investment returns on pension plan assets. Consolidated
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was
approximately 10% for both periods.

     Interest expense increased by $8.4 million from $9.1 million for 1997 to
$17.5 million for 1998 due to higher average debt outstanding during 1998 and to
higher average interest rates in 1998 versus 1997. For the year ended December
31, 1998, the Company averaged outstanding borrowings of $205.3 million as
compared to $123.1 million outstanding for 1997. The $82.2 million increase
related primarily to acquisitions completed during the latter part of 1997 and
1998, working capital increases to support the realized and anticipated growth
in business and capital expenditures to support the operations. The average
borrowing rate of 8.5% for the year ended December 31, 1998 is 1.1% higher than
the average rate of 7.4% for the year ended December 31, 1997 primarily because
of the $150 million bond offering in November, 1997 which carries a rate of
9.25% versus a 7.3% rate on the bank debt it replaced.

     The effective income tax rate for 1998 was 43% as compared to 41% for 1997.
The increase 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, 1998, subsidiaries of
the Company had $1.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes.

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 and the sale of Senior Subordinated Notes. On November 1, 1999,
Park-Ohio amended its credit agreement with a group of banks under which it may
borrow up to $175 million on an unsecured basis. The proceeds from the amended
credit agreement, which expires on April 30, 2001, will be used for general
corporate purposes. Amounts borrowed under the new credit agreement may be
borrowed at Park-Ohio's election at either (i) the bank's prime lending rate
less 100 basis points to plus 20 basis points or (ii) LIBOR plus 90-220 basis
points depending on the aggregate amount borrowed under the new credit
agreement. As of December 31, 1999, $138 million was outstanding under the
facility; this had increased to $150.5 million at March 24, 2000. The Company's
ability to refinance or extend its borrowings under this facility will be
dependent on a variety of factors, including the Company's operating performance
and the outlook for the Company and its industry groups and the availability of
credit for borrowers in the Company's industry groups and in the economy
generally.

     On June 3, 1999, the Company sold an additional $50 million of its 9.25%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007 bringing the amount of Notes outstanding to
$200 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes
($49.5 million) to repay outstanding bank borrowings.

     Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing
arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate
to meet current cash requirements. Capital expenditures for 2000 are projected
to be approximately $10-$12 million that 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 2.93 at December 31,
1999 versus 3.19 at December 31, 1998. Working capital increased by $31.9
million to $208.8 million at December 31, 1999 from $176.9 million at December
31, 1998, as a result of the inclusion of acquisitions completed in 1999 and to
support the internal growth of the Company.

     During 1999, the Company generated $41.9 million from operations before
changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the use of
$42.6 million in the operating accounts, the Company used $700 thousand from
operating activities compared to providing $3.6 million in 1998.

                                       12
<PAGE>   15

During the year, the Company invested $22.7 million in capital expenditures,
used $65.4 million for acquisitions and used $3.9 million for other purposes,
primarily the purchase of treasury shares. These activities were funded by
issuing $49.5 million of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes and a net increase of
$44.8 million in bank borrowings which resulted in an increase in cash for the
year of $1.6 million.

     During 1998, the Company generated $32.3 million of cash from operations
before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the
use of $28.6 million in the operating accounts, the Company provided $3.6
million from operating activities. During the year, the Company invested $22.7
million in facilities, machinery and equipment, and information systems, used
$40.2 million for acquisitions and used $2.8 million to purchase common shares
for the treasury. These activities were funded by a net increase in bank
borrowings of $64.3 million offset by a $2.5 million increase in cash during the
period.

     During 1997, the Company generated $27.0 million from continuing operations
before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the
use of $37.0 million in the operating accounts, the Company used $10.0 million
for operating activities. During the period, the Company invested $15.9 million
in capital expenditures and $60.4 million for acquisitions and investments
including the acquisition of Arden for $44.0 million. During the year, the
Company bought shares of its common stock in the open market for $3.0 million
and issued shares under stock option agreements for which the Company received
$3.2 million. In addition, the Company purchased in the open market $1.2 million
of its convertible senior subordinated debentures. These activities were funded
by a net increase in long-term borrowings of $85.4 million and a decrease in
cash balances of $2.8 million.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     In 1999, the Company completed a formal program to address and resolve
potential exposure associated with information and non-information technology
systems arising from the Year 2000 issue. The Year 2000 issue is the result of
computer programs that rely on two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. Such systems may treat a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruption of operations, including, among other things,
a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in
similar normal business activities.

     During 1996-1999, we assessed, remediated or replaced, tested and
implemented computer systems and applications in order that they would be able
to operate and properly process information dated after December 31, 1999. As a
result of these efforts, to date, the Company has not experienced any Year 2000
failures of its key computer systems and applications. Likewise, to date, the
Company's key customers and suppliers have been able to continue to meet their
obligations to the Company.

     The Company expended approximately $9 million relating to Year 2000
readiness efforts from 1996 to 1999. Of this cost, 75% represents new systems,
which the Company may have initiated during the period notwithstanding the Year
2000 issue.

ENVIRONMENTAL

     The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at
certain third-party sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or comparable state laws
which provide for strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several
liability. The Company is participating in the cost of certain clean-up efforts
at several of these sites. However, the Company's share of such costs has not
been material and based on available information, the Company does not expect
its exposure at any of these locations to have a material adverse effect on its
results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

SEASONALITY; VARIABILITY OF OPERATING RESULTS

     As a result of the significant growth in the Company's net sales and
operating income in recent years, seasonal fluctuations have been substantially
mitigated. The Company, however, performs scheduled plant maintenance in the
third quarter to coincide with customer plant shut downs.

     The timing of orders placed by the Company's customers has varied with,
among other factors, orders for customers' finished goods, customer production
schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The
variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted
in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the
Company's business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the
capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products segment,
which typically ship a few large systems per year.

statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking
statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that
the Company's plans and objectives will be achieved.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates.
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its floating rate revolving
credit facility which consisted of borrowings of $138 million at December 31,
1999. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an
increase in interest expense of approximately $1.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

               REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of
Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries listed in the Index at Item
14(a)(1). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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
Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
                 (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 $5,098 and $4,869 higher than reported at December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

</TABLE>

     Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at
cost. Major additions and associated interest costs 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. The Company capitalized interest of $1.0 million in 1998.
Interest capitalized in 1999 and 1997 was immaterial.

     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 periods from twenty-five to forty years using the
straight-line method. Management periodically evaluates for possible impairment
of the current value of these intangibles, and other long-lived assets, through
undiscounted cash flow analyses as required by Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of"
which established 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. Amortization expense related to the
excess purchase price over net assets acquired totalled $3,835, $2,356 and
$2,211 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

     Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company and its
subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory defined benefit or
noncontributory defined contribution plans, cover-

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

ing substantially all employees. In addition, the Company has two postretirement
benefit plans. 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.

     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 to customers at various points
prior to contract completion. 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, 1999 the Company had
uncollateralized receivables with seven customers in the automotive and truck
industry, each with several locations, approximating $34,176 which represents
approximately 30% of the Company's trade accounts receivable. During 1999, sales
to these customers amounted to approximately $245,588 which represents 34% of
the Company's net sales.

     Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In March 1998, the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") issued Statement of Position
("SOP") 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use". The SOP requires companies to capitalize qualifying
computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. The
Company adopted the statement in the first quarter of 1999. The impact of this
new standard did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

     In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, "Accounting for the Costs of
Start-up Activities". The SOP requires that costs of start-up activities be
expensed as incurred. The SOP is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1998. The Company adopted the SOP in the first quarter of 1999. The
                                       22

impact of adoption of the SOP on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows was immaterial.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued in June 1998. Statement 133 requires derivatives to be
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting for three
different types of hedges: hedges of changes in fair value of assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments; hedges of the variable cash flows of
forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net
investments in foreign operations. Statement 133 is effective for years
beginning after June 15, 2000 and is not expected to have a significant impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     Reclassification: Certain amounts in the prior period's financial
statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current
presentation.

NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITION

     During 1999, the Company acquired all of the stock of The Metalloy
Corporation ("Metalloy"), Columbia Nut and Bolt Corp. ("Columbia"), Industrial
Fasteners Corporation ("Industrial"), M.P. Colinet ("Colinet") and substantially
all of the assets of St. Louis Screw & Bolt Co. ("St. Louis Screw") and PMC
Industries ("PMC") for cash of approximately $65.4 million. Metalloy is a full
service aluminum casting and machining company. Columbia and Industrial are
logistics providers of fastener related components. St. Louis Screw is a
manufacturer of bolts and PMC and Colinet provide capital equipment and
associated parts for the oil drilling industry. Each of these transactions has
been accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price and the results of
operations of each of these businesses prior to their respective dates of
acquisition were not deemed to be significant as defined in Regulation S-X.

     During 1998, the Company completed the acquisitions of Direct Fasteners
Limited ("Direct") and GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). The transactions have
been accounted for as purchases. Direct is a logistics provider of fastener
related components. Gateway is a logistics provider of fastener related
components and manufacturer of fabricated metal products and fasteners. The
aggregate purchase price and the results of operations of Direct and Gateway
prior to their respective dates of acquisition were not deemed to be significant
as defined in Regulation S-X.

     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 national
distributor of specialty and standard fasteners to the industrial market. Arden
is included in the Company's ILS segment.

     The following is the estimated value of the net assets of Arden as of
August 1, 1997:

     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 $8.6 million. The following unaudited
pro forma results of operations assume the acquisitions of Arden and the other
businesses discussed above occurred on January 1, 1997. These pro forma results
have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be

     During 1999 Park-Ohio amended its credit agreement with a group of banks
under which it may borrow up to $175 million on an unsecured basis. Interest is
payable quarterly at the prime lending rate (8.5% at December 31, 1999) less 1%
to plus .2% or at Park-Ohio's election at LIBOR plus .9% to 2.2% (which
aggregated 7.5% at December 31, 1999). The interest rate is dependent on the
aggregate amounts borrowed under the agreement. The credit agreement expires on
April 30, 2001.

     Provisions of the Senior Subordinated Notes and the revolving credit
agreement contain restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to make certain payments,
investments, loans and guarantees and to sell or otherwise dispose of a
substantial portion of assets to or merge or consolidate with, an unaffiliated
entity. The revolving credit agreement also requires maintenance of specific
financial ratios.

     On November 25, 1997, the Company sold $150 million of its 9.25% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2007 at a price of 97.375% of face value. Interest on the
Senior Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of
each year beginning on June 1, 1998. The Company used the net proceeds of the
Senior Subordinated 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. The early extinguishment of the 7 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Debentures and the then existing credit facility resulted in an extraordinary
charge of $1.5 million consisting of the following:

customary letter of credit fees, a 3/4% fee is assessed on standby letters of
credit on an annual basis. As of December 31, 1999, in addition to amounts
borrowed under the revolving credit agreement, there is $2.9 million outstanding
primarily for standby letters of credit. A fee of 1/4% to 3/8% is imposed by the
bank on the unused portion of available borrowings.

     Maturities of long-term debt during each of the five years following
December 31, 1999 are approximately $807 in 2000, $138,836 in 2001, $558 in

     At December 31, 1999, subsidiaries of the Company have net operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $1.1 million subject to
certain limitations, which expire in 2001 to 2007.

NOTE F -- STOCK PLANS

     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 were 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.

     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 may receive options to acquire
6,000 shares at the market price on the date of grant in lieu of any retainer or
meeting fees. Options under this plan are exercisable six months from the date
of grant. 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 terminate
fifteen years from the option date.

     Under the provisions of the 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("1998 Plan"),
which is administered by the Compensation Committee, incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") restricted
shares, performance shares or stock awards may be awarded to all employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries. Stock options will be exercisable in whole or
in installments as may be determined provided that no options will be
exercisable more than ten years from date of grant. The exercise price will be
the market price at the date of grant. The aggregate number of shares of the
Company's stock which may be awarded under the 1998 Plan is 550,000, all of
which may be incentive stock options. No more than 250,000 shares shall be the
subject of awards to any individual participant in any one calendar year. During
1999, options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock were awarded under the
1998 Plan. During 1998, there were no awards under the 1998 Plan.

     Had the compensation cost for the stock options granted in 1999, 1998 and
1997 been determined based on the fair value method of FASB Statement No. 123,
the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced
by $1,077 ($.10 per share) in 1999, $1,235 ($.11 per share) in 1998, and $1,304
($.11 per share) in 1997. The effects on 1999, 1998 and 1997 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 1999, 1998 and
1997, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.25%, 4.75% and 5.25%; zero
dividend yield; expected volatility of 38% in 1999, 39% in 1998 and 40% in 1997
and expected option lives of 6 years.

<PAGE>   2

delivery hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by Borrower of

of any provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement,
instrument or document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower, (d) no
Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists under the Credit
Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and delivery of
the First Amendment Agreement or by the performance or observance of any
provision hereof, (e) Borrower is not aware of any claim or offset against, or

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. This First Amendment Agreement is a Related
Writing as defined in the Credit Agreement.

     5. Borrower and each Guarantor of Payment, by signing below, hereby waives
and releases Administrative Agent, Co-Agent and each of the Banks and the

deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but

laws.

     4.  Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the
following new subsection D thereto:

         D. Tranche D Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
     Agreement, during the applicable Commitment Period, the Tranche D Banks
     shall make a Tranche D Loan or Tranche D 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 time outstanding hereunder the aggregate
     amount of the Tranche D Commitments; provided, however, that Borrower shall
     not request any Tranche D Loan hereunder unless the Tranche A Commitments,
     Tranche B Commitments and Tranche C Commitments have been fully funded.
     Borrower shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions set
     forth herein, to borrow Tranche D Loans, maturing on the last day of the
     Commitment Period, by means of any combination of (a) Prime Rate Loans, or
     (b) LIBOR Loans.

         Borrower shall pay interest, for the benefit of the Tranche D Banks, on
     the unpaid principal amount of Prime Rate Loans outstanding from time to
     time from the date thereof



                                        5
<PAGE>   6

     until paid at the Derived Prime Rate from time to time in effect. Interest
     on such Prime Rate Loans shall be payable, commencing December 31, 1999,
     and on the last day of each succeeding March, June, September and December
     of each year and at the maturity thereof.

         Borrower shall pay interest, for the benefit of the Tranche D Banks, on
     the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan outstanding from time to
     time, from the date thereof until paid, at the Derived LIBOR Rate, fixed in
     advance for each Interest Period as herein provided for each such Interest
     Period. Interest on such LIBOR Loans shall be payable on each Interest
     Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an
     Interest Period exceeds three (3) months, the interest must be paid every
     three (3) months, commencing three (3) months from the beginning of such
     Interest Period).

         The obligation of Borrower to repay the Prime Rate Loans and the LIBOR
     Loans made by each Tranche D Bank and to pay interest thereon shall be
     evidenced by a Tranche D Note of Borrower in the form of EXHIBIT F hereto,
     dated as of the Tranche D Closing Date, and payable to the order of such
     Tranche D Bank in the principal amount of its Tranche D Commitment, or, if
     less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Tranche D Loans made
     hereunder by such Bank. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement,
     Borrower shall be entitled under this Section 2.1D to borrow funds, repay
     the same in whole or in part and re- borrow hereunder at any time and from
     time to time during the applicable Commitment Period.

     5.  The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Section 2.3 therefrom
and to insert in place thereof the following:

         SECTION 2.3. PAYMENT ON NOTES, ETC. Each payment made on Loans
     hereunder shall be applied first to Tranche D Loans, if any are
     outstanding, then to Tranche C Loans, if any are outstanding, then to
     Tranche B Loans, if any are outstanding, and then to Tranche A Loans. All
     payments of principal, interest and commitment and other fees shall be made
     to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of
     the Banks on a Pro Rata Basis (except as to payments made exclusively for
     the benefit of Administrative Agent pursuant to the Agent Fee Letter), and
     Administrative Agent, within one (1) Business Day, shall distribute to each
     Bank, in accordance with the Tranche D Conditions, its Ratable Share of the
     amount of principal, interest, and commitment and other fees received by it
     for the account of such Bank. Whenever payments are made to Administrative
     Agent "for the benefit of the Banks", "for the benefit of the Banks" shall
     mean on a Pro Rata Basis. Each Bank shall record (a) any principal,
     interest or other payment, and (b) the principal amount of the Prime Rate
     Loans and the LIBOR Loans and all prepayments thereof and the applicable
     dates with respect thereto, by such method as such Bank may generally
     employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no
     way detract from Borrower's obligations under each such Note. The aggregate
     unpaid amount of Loans set forth on the records of Administrative Agent
     shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal and interest
     owing and unpaid on each Note.



                                        6
<PAGE>   7

     Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation,
     any payment to be made on any Note, shall be stated to be due on a day that
     is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
     Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in
     the computation of the interest payable on such Note; provided, however,
     that with respect to any LIBOR Loan, if the next succeeding Business Day
     falls in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the
     preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted
     accordingly.

     6.  Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the
first paragraph therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

         SECTION 2.4. PREPAYMENT. Borrower shall have the right at any time or
     from time to time to prepay, on a Pro Rata Basis for all of the Banks, all
     or any part of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding as
     designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to
     the date of such prepayment, subject, however, to the Tranche D Conditions.
     Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of prepayment of any Prime
     Rate Loan by not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the
     Business Day such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the
     prepayment of any LIBOR Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio
     time) three (3) Business Days before the Business Day on which such

     7.  Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete
subsection (e) therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

         (e) Borrower may at any time or from time to time permanently reduce in
     whole or in part the Commitment of the Banks hereunder to an amount not
     less than the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, by
     giving Agents not fewer than five (5) Business Days' notice, provided that
     (i) any partial reduction shall be applied, on a Pro Rata Basis for all of
     the Banks, first to the Tranche D Commitments, then to the Tranche C
     Commitments, then to the Tranche B Commitments and, finally, to the Tranche
     A Commitments, and (ii) any partial reduction shall be in an aggregate
     amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or any multiple thereof.
     Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the date of each
     such reduction and such Bank's proportionate share thereof. After each such
     reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon
     the Commitment of the Banks as so reduced. If Borrower reduces in whole the
     Commitment of the Banks, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrower
     having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Notes,
     together with all interest and commitment and other fees accrued and
     unpaid), all of the Notes shall be delivered to Administrative Agent marked
     "Canceled" and Administrative Agent shall redeliver such Notes to Borrower.
     Any partial reduction in the Commitment of the Banks shall be effective
     during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

     Ratio exists, Borrower shall not request any Loan, and the Banks shall not
     be obligated to make any Loan, unless (a) the proceeds of such Loan shall

     additional participation in the Applicable Debt as shall be necessary to
     nullify the Advantage. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of
     an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in
     part from the Bank receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be
     rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the
     Bank receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage
     to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Bank) to the extent of the
     recovery. Each Bank further agrees with the other Banks that if it at any
     time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of Borrower on any
     indebtedness owing by Borrower to that Bank by reason of offset of any
     deposit or other indebtedness, it will apply

     participation from the other Banks or any thereof pursuant to this Section

     creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     15. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Section 9.9 therefrom
and to insert in place thereof the following:

     Commitment Percentages applicable to the Tranche A Commitments from and
     against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,

                                                                November 1, 1999


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC.
("Borrower") promises to pay on the last day of the Commitment Period, as
defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), to the order of
_______________________ ("Bank") at the Main Office of KEYBANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio
44114-1306 the principal sum of


 ......................................................................   DOLLARS


or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Tranche D Loans made by Bank to
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1D of the Credit Agreement, whichever is less, in
lawful money of the United States of America. As used herein, "Credit Agreement"
means the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 1998, as
amended, among Borrower, the banks named therein, KeyBank National Association,
as Administrative Agent, and The Huntington National Bank, as Co- Agent, as the
same may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise modified.
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 Tranche D Loan from time to time outstanding, from the date of such
Tranche D Loan until the payment in full thereof, at the rates per annum which
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1D of the
Credit Agreement. Such interest shall be payable on each date provided for in
such Section 2.1D; 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 the Default Rate. All payments of principal of and interest on this
Note shall be made in immediately available funds. In the event of a failure to
pay interest or 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 percent (10%) of the amount of such late payment, or (b) Twenty Five
Dollars ($25).

and conditions upon which this Note is issued.

     Except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, Borrower expressly
waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind.

     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 Agents' 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
Agents or the Banks.

                            THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

         This Third Amendment Agreement (this "Amendment") is made as of the
15th day of March, 2000, among PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC., an Ohio corporation
("Borrower"), the banking institutions listed on SCHEDULE 1 to the Credit
Agreement, as hereinafter defined ("Banks"), KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
administrative agent for the Banks ("Administrative Agent"), and THE HUNTINGTON
NATIONAL BANK, as co-agent for the Banks ("Co-Agent" and, together with
Administrative Agent, "Agents").

         WHEREAS, Borrower, Agents and the Banks are parties to a certain
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 1998, as amended
and as the same may from time to time be further amended, restated or otherwise
modified, which provides, among other things, for loans aggregating One Hundred
Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($175,000,000), all upon certain terms and
conditions (the "Credit Agreement");

         WHEREAS, Borrower, Agents and the Banks desire to amend the Credit
Agreement to modify certain other provisions thereof; and

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

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

         1. Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete
subsection (c) therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

                  (c) LEVERAGE RATIO. Borrower shall not suffer or permit at any
         time the Leverage Ratio to exceed:

                           (i) 5.00 to 1.00 for the period from the Closing Date
                  through December 30, 1999 at any time that the Leverage Ratio
                  Condition exists during such period;

                           (ii) on December 31, 1999 through March 30, 2000,
                  5.00 to 1.00 or, in the event that the Tranche D Leverage
                  Ratio Condition exists, 4.50 to 1.00;

                           (iii) on March 31, 2000 through June 29, 2000, 5.00
                  to 1.00;

                           (iv) on June 30, 2000 through September 29, 2000,
                  5.00 to 1.00 or, in the event that the Tranche D Leverage
                  Ratio Condition exists, 4.75 to 1.00; provided, however, that,
                  if, on June 30, 2000, the Tranche D Leverage Ratio Condition
                  exists and the Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.75 to 1.00 but
                  less than 5.00 to 1.00, then an Event of Default shall not be
                  deemed to have occurred under this Agreement by virtue of the
                  breach of this subpart (iv) of this Section 5.7(c) so long as
                  the ratio for Borrower of (A) Total Funded Indebtedness
                  (outstanding on July 31, 2000) to (B)

<PAGE>   2

                  Consolidated Pro-Forma EBITDA (based upon the financial
                  statements of Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
                  2000 and the three (3) previous fiscal quarters) is less than
                  4.75 to 1.00 on July 31, 2000; and

                           (v) on September 30, 2000 and thereafter, 5.00 to
                  1.00 or, in the event that the Tranche D Leverage Ratio
                  Conditions exists, 4.00 to 1.00.

         2. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Section 7.9
therefrom in its entirety and to insert in place thereof the following:

                  SECTION 7.9. DESIGNATED SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS . If any Company
         shall incur or permit to exist any Designated Senior Indebtedness (as
         defined in the Indenture) other than the Debt.

         3. Borrower, Agents and the Banks agree that, notwithstanding any
provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Subsidiary shall (a)
become a Guarantor with respect to any of the Indebtedness incurred in
connection with the Senior Subordinated Notes, (b) merge with Borrower, or (c)
sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a substantial part of its
assets to Borrower.

         4. Borrower, Agents and the Banks agree that, notwithstanding any
provision of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, if the Tranche D Leverage
Ratio Condition exists (or immediately after consummating any Acquisition would
exist), no Acquisition otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 5.13 of the
Credit Agreement, shall occur during the period from the date of this Amendment
through September 30, 2000 (the "Restricted Period") unless the Leverage Ratio,
both before and after consummating such Acquisition, is less than or equal to
(a) 4.50 to 1.00 for the period from the date of this Amendment through June 29,
2000, and (b) 4.00 to 1.00 thereafter. In the event that, without the prior
written consent of Agents and the Banks, an Acquisition shall occur during the
Restricted Period in violation of the preceding sentence, such Acquisition shall
constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

         5. Concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, Borrower shall:

         (a) cause each Guarantor of Payment to consent and agree to and
acknowledge the terms of this Amendment;

         (b) pay an amendment fee to (i) Administrative Agent, for its own
account, in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and (ii)
Co-Agent, for its own account, in the amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000);
and

         (c) pay all legal fees and expenses of Administrative Agent in
connection with this Amendment.

         5. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agents and the Banks that
(a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this
Amendment, (b) the officers executing this Amendment 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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists under the
Credit Agreement, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and
delivery of this Amendment or by the performance or observance of any provision
hereof, (e) Borrower is not aware of any claim or offset against, or defense or
counterclaim to, any of Borrower's obligations or liabilities under the Credit
Agreement or any Related Writing, and (f) this Amendment 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 to the Credit Agreement 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. This Amendment is a Related Writing as defined
in the Credit Agreement.

         7. Borrower and each Guarantor of Payment, by signing below, hereby
waives and releases Administrative Agent, Co-Agent and each of the Banks and the
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, affiliates and
subsidiaries of each of the foregoing from any and all claims, offsets, defenses
and counterclaims of which Borrower or such Guarantor of Payment 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.

         8. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts and by facsimile signature,
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.

         9. The rights and obligations of all parties hereto shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws.
