               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

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

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

         (a)      The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the
                  fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

         (b)      The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
                  quarter ended March 31, 1997.

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

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

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

         Not applicable.

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

         Not applicable.

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

         Pursuant to Section 34 of the Company's Regulations, the Company is
required to indemnify any director or officer and any former director or officer
of the Company, against expenses,

                                        2

   3



including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by him by reason of the fact that he is or was
such a director or officer, in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

         Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13 permits indemnification of such
persons with respect to such matters, other than an action by or in the right of
the Company, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in
the right of the Company, such Ohio Revised Code section permits indemnification
of such persons against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the settlement or defense
of such action if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for a matter as
to which such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of such person's duty to the Company, unless the court in which
such action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

         Each director and officer of the Company is a party to an
indemnification agreement with the Company, which agreement provides that the
Company will indemnify such officer or director against expenses, including,
without limitation, attorney's fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement, in connection with any claim against such officer or director
arising out of such person's being an officer or director of the Company, to the
full extent provided by (i) the Company's Regulations in effect on the date of
the agreement, (ii) the Company's By-laws, Regulations or Articles of
Incorporation, as in effect at the time expenses are incurred, (iii) Ohio law on
the date of the agreement or the law governing the Company at the time the
expenses are incurred, or (iv) insurance maintained by the Company, at the
option of such officer or director. The Company has also agreed to maintain

                                        3

   4



directors' and officers' liability insurance so long as such insurance is
available on a basis acceptable to the Company, and to advance funds for
expenses, provided the officer or director agrees to reimburse the Company if he
is ultimately found not to be entitled to such indemnification.

         The Company maintains insurance policies that insure the Company's
directors and officers against certain liabilities (excluding fines and
penalties imposed by law) which might be incurred by them in such capacities and
insure the registrant for amounts which may be paid by it (up to the limits of
such policies) to indemnify the directors and officers covered by the policies.

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

         (a) The Company hereby undertakes:

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

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

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

         (b) The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1993, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15
above or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
