NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed 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 months and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. 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, 1996.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.
 
NOTE B--SALE OF BENNETT INDUSTRIES
 
     On July 31, 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of Bennett Industries, Inc. ("Bennett"), a wholly owned subsidiary
which manufactures plastic containers, to North American Packaging Corporation,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian company,
for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of $13.8 million
recognized in the third quarter of 1996. The results of operations and changes
in cash flows for Bennett for the three months and nine months ended September
30, 1996, have been presented as discontinued operations. Interest expense has
been allocated to discontinued operations based on the ratio of net assets
discontinued to the total net assets of the consolidated entity plus
consolidated debt.
 
     Summary operating results of the discontinued operations, excluding the
above gain on sale of assets for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 were as follows:
 


                                                                              NINE MONTHS ENDED

NOTE D--FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
 
     In June 1997 the Company amended its credit agreement with a group of five
banks in order to increase its credit availability by $50 million to $170
million and extend the maturity date to March 31, 2001.
 
NOTE E--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     At September 30, 1997, capital stock consists of (i) Serial Preferred Stock
of which 632,470 shares were authorized and none were issued and (ii) Common
Stock of which 20,000,000 shares were authorized and 11,147,462 shares were
issued and outstanding, including 187,500 shares held in escrow.
 
NOTE F--NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
     Net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding and assumes the exercise of outstanding dilutive stock
options and the issuance of certain additional shares subject to earn-out
provisions. On a fully diluted basis, both net income and common shares
outstanding are adjusted to assume the conversion of the convertible senior
subordinated debentures. Fully diluted earnings per share were as follows for
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30,
1996, respectively.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently
used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the
calculation of primary earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share
for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is not
expected to be material.
 
NOTE G--ACQUISITIONS
 
     On August 1, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the shares of
Arden Industrial Products, Inc. ("Arden") for cash of approximately $44,000,000.
The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase. Arden is headquartered in
Vadnais Heights, Minnesota and is a national distributor of specialty and
standard fasteners to the industrial market. Arden is included in the Company's
Logistics segment. On August 11, 1997, the Company filed a current report on
Form 8-K to report this acquisition.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company acquired three
other businesses for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13 million.
On October 3, 1997, the Company acquired Arcon Fastener Corporation for $5.6
million. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations assume the
acquisitions of Arden and the other businesses discussed above occurred on
January 1, 1996. 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.

                     INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park-Ohio Industries, Inc.
 
     We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet of
Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997, and the
related consolidated condensed statements of income for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the consolidated condensed
statement of shareholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. 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, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated February 17, 1997, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Arden for $44.0 million in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase. Arden is included in the Company's Logistics segment.
 
     On July 31, 1996, the Company completed the sale for $50.8 million in cash
of substantially all of the assets of Bennett, a manufacturer of plastic
containers, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $13.8 million recognized in the
third quarter of 1996. The results of operations and changes in cash flow of
Bennett for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 have been presented as
discontinued operations.
 
     Net sales from continuing operations increased by $50.6 million, or 19.4%,
from $261.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $311.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Approximately 51% of this
increase was attributable to internal growth and the remainder was a result of
acquisitions made during 1997. Of the internal sales growth, approximately 67%
was primarily attributable to the addition of total fastening service customers
and the remainder was due to increased orders from Manufactured Products'
customers. Approximately 49% of the growth in net sales was due to acquisitions
made during 1997, a majority of which was attributable to the acquisition of
Arden.
 
     Gross profit from continuing operations increased by $5.9 million, or
13.4%, from $44.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $49.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Of this increase, 81.9%
was attributable to acquisitions made during 1997 and 18.1% was due to internal
growth. A majority of the increase attributable to acquisitions made during 1997
was related to Arden. The Company's consolidated gross margin from continuing
operations decreased to 16.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from
16.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease in
consolidated gross margin was primarily due to a change in the Company's revenue
mix and the timing of certain large product shipments.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations
increased by $3.3 million, or 11.7%, from $28.3 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 to $31.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. Approximately 73% of such increase was related to acquisitions made
during 1997 and the remainder was attributable to higher overhead costs to
support higher sales levels. Consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 10.1% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from 10.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
due to economies of scale resulting from higher sales volume.
 
     The Company had other income of $1.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to $320,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, primarily due to gains on the sales of securities.
 
     Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $0.6 million from
$5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $6.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This increase was primarily due to the
reclassification of approximately $0.8 million of interest expense in 1996 to
discontinued operations as a result of the sale of Bennett. The Company's
average debt outstanding and cost of borrowings were approximately the same in
both periods.
 
THIRD QUARTER 1997 VERSUS THIRD QUARTER 1996
 
     Net sales from continuing operations increased by $34.5 million, or 43.2%,
from $79.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $114.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Approximately 43% of this
increase was attributable to internal growth and the remainder was a result of
the

acquisitions made during 1997, primarily Arden. Of the internal sales growth,
approximately 60% was primarily attributable to the addition of Logistics' total
fastening service customers and the remainder was due to increased orders from
Manufactured Products' customers.
 
     Gross profit from continuing operations increased by $5.0 million, or
38.5%, from $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $18.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Of the increase, 74.6%
was attributable to the acquisitions made during 1997, primarily Arden, and,
25.4% was due to internal growth. The Company's consolidated gross margin from
continuing operations decreased to 15.7% for the three months ended September
30, 1997 from 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease
in consolidated gross margin was primarily due to a change in the Company's
revenue mix.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations
increased by $2.0 million, or 21.0%, from $9.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 to $11.5 million for the three months ended September
30, 1997. Approximately 85% of such increase was related to the acquisitions
made during 1997 and the remainder was attributable to higher overhead cost to
support higher sales levels. Consolidated selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 10.1% for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from 11.9% for the three months ended September 30,
1996 due to economies of scale resulting from higher sales volume.
 
     The Company had other income of $1.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 primarily due to a gain on the sale of securities.
 
     Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $0.8 million from
$1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997. Average debt outstanding increased by
approximately $42.0 million from $89.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 to $131.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997. A majority of the increase in average debt outstanding was attributable to
the acquisitions made during 1997, primarily Arden. The cost of borrowings was
approximately the same in both periods.
 
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 proceeds from financing activities.
 
     Management believes that cash provided by operating activities supplemented
as necessary from time to time by borrowings under available bank arrangements
will be sufficient to finance its operations, service the interest payments on
its debt and fund capital expenditures.
 
     In June 1997, the Company increased its credit availability with its group
of five banks by $50.0 million to $170.0 million, for the purpose of acquiring
Arden. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had $129.8 million outstanding
under its credit agreement with the banks. On November 3, 1997, the Company
announced that it is proceeding with a Rule 144A offering, to be completed
during the fourth quarter of 1997, of up to $150 million of senior subordinated
notes due in 2007. The proceeds from the offering are expected to be used to
reduce current indebtedness under existing bank facilities and to redeem the
convertible senior subordinated debentures due on June 15, 2004. In connection
with the notes, the Company anticipates entering into a new $200 million senior
bank facility with an initial term of five years with one year renewal options
thereafter.
 
     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. This Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q 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.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company generated
$15.9 million from continuing operations before changes in operating assets and
liabilities. After giving effect to the use of $24.6 million in the operating
accounts, the Company used $8.7 million for operating activities. During the
period, the Company invested $9.2 million in capital expenditures and $53.9
million for acquisitions and investments, including the acquisition of Arden for
$44.0 million. The Company also bought 210,279 shares of its common stock in the
open market for $2.8 million during the period. In addition, 350,000 shares of
common stock were issued under stock option agreements for which the Company
received $2.8 million from the option holders. The Company also purchased $1.1
million principal amount of its Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures in
the open market. These activities were funded by a net increase in bank
borrowings of $72.0 million and a decrease in cash balances of $0.9 million.
