Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules, and Reports on Form 8-K 36 SIGNATURES 37 3 PART I 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 two segments, Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS") 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. Manufactured Products designs and manufactures a broad range of high quality products engineered for specific customer applications. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are end-users in the automotive, railroad, truck and aerospace industries. Between 1994 and 1998, the Company grew significantly, through both internal growth and acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased from $129.2 million to $551.8 million, income from continuing operations before income taxes increased from $6.7 million to $22.7 million, and EBITDA increased from $11.4 million to $52.9 million. As of December 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 3,000 persons. OPERATIONS The following chart highlights the Company's two business segments, the primary industries they serve and the key products they sell. NET SALES FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEGMENT PRIMARY INDUSTRIES SERVED SELECTED PRODUCTS/SERVICES DEC. 31, 1998 ------- ------------------------- -------------------------- ----------------- (MILLIONS) INTEGRATED LOGISTICS Automotive parts and Inventory management, $364.5 SOLUTIONS accessories, electrical engineering and equipment, lawn and garden procurement of standard equipment, HVAC, and specialty fasteners, industrial equipment, fittings, rubber and other railroad and heavy truck industrial products. MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS Automotive, aerospace, Engineering and 187.3 power generation, manufacturing the railroad, shipbuilding, following: Aluminum steel, telecommunications permanent mold castings and truck such as clutch retainers, pinion carriers and transmission pump housings; forged and machined products such as aircraft landing gears, locomotive crankshafts and camshafts; induction heating systems; and, industrial rubber products 1 4 INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS ILS is a leading national supplier of over 150,000 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 $364.5 million, or 66% of the Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998. The four largest customers, comprised of many divisions, accounted for approximately 21% 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 fastener 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 59% of ILS' net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998. 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 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 9% of ILS' net sales. ILS also provides engineering 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 1998, approximately 89% 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 1998 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 12,000 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 equip- 2 5 ment, 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 value-added services offered by ILS. ILS competes primarily on the basis of its value-added services, extensive product selection and price with primarily domestic competitors who are capable of providing inventory management programs. MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS The Manufactured Products segment includes aluminum casting, forged and machined products, capital equipment, industrial rubber products and other manufactured products. Manufactured Products generated net sales of $187.3 million, or 34% of the Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 1998. The three largest customers, of which the Company sells to multiple operating divisions, accounted for approximately 31% of Manufactured Products sales in 1998. The loss of business from any one of these customers would have an adverse effect on this segment. ALUMINUM CASTINGS Aluminum permanent mold castings are produced at General Aluminum Mfg. Company ("GAMCO") and its wholly owned subsidiary. GAMCO's cast aluminum parts are critical components manufactured primarily for automotive OEMs. GAMCO's principal automotive products include: transmission pump housings, planetary pinion carriers, clutch retainers, rotor castings and bearing cups. In addition, GAMCO manufactures products for non-automotive end users such as surgical table components, light housings and electrical meter housings. GAMCO 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 permanent mold products 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. GAMCO sells its products primarily to customers located in North America. The market for aluminum permanent mold castings is comprised of two segments: automotive and non-automotive. The domestic aluminum permanent mold industry is highly competitive. GAMCO competes principally on the basis of its ability to: (i) engineer and manufacture high quality, semi-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 permanent mold 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, GAMCO has benefited in recent years as automotive OEMs have consolidated their supplier base. GAMCO, a well-established name in the aluminum permanent mold industry, has achieved QS 9000 and ISO 9002 certifications and has been awarded numerous supplier quality awards. 3 6 In January 1999, GAMCO acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy"). Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company with operations located in Indiana, Michigan and Mississippi. The acquisition of Metalloy provides sand and die casting capabilities to complement GAMCO's permanent mold process. Management believes that GAMCO is one of the few automotive parts suppliers which has the capabilities of providing permanent mold, sand-casted and die-casted products. FORGED AND MACHINED PRODUCTS The Company's forged and machined products business is carried out at four operating units consisting of Park Drop Forge, Ohio Crankshaft, Cleveland City Forge, 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 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, power generators and ships. Cleveland City Forge manufactures and machines specialized hardware such as turnbuckles and clevises for construction companies. Its products are manufactured according to customers' specific dimensional and/or strength requirements. Blue Falcon Forge produces large forged products such as center plates and couplings, both of which are used in the undercarriage of rail cars. Forged and machined products are sold to a wide variety of domestic and international OEMs and other manufacturers in the transportation, power generation and construction industries. The Company's forged and machined products business competes domestically and internationally with other small to medium-sized businesses on the basis of product quality and precision. CAPITAL EQUIPMENT The Company manufactures large industrial equipment through its operating units consisting of Tocco, Ajax, and Feco. Tocco specializes in the engineering and construction of induction heating systems primarily for the automotive and truck industries. Tocco's induction heating systems are engineered and built to customer specifications and are used primarily by OEMs for surface hardening. Ajax engineers, manufactures and services mechanical forging presses ranging in size from 500 to 8,000 tons that are used worldwide in the automotive and truck manufacturing industries. Feco produces complete oven systems that combine heat processing and curing technologies with material handling and conveying methods. Feco's principal products include industrial drying and curing ovens for automotive components, metal can curing ovens, specialized conveyor and automation systems for lightweight containers, and plastic and glass bottle coating and finishing systems. The Company's capital equipment units compete with large equipment manufacturers on the basis of service capability, ability to meet customer specifications, delivery performance and engineering expertise and exists at both domestic and international levels. INDUSTRIAL RUBBER PRODUCTS 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, funeral and heavy truck industries. Its products include primary wire harnesses, transoceanic cable boots, casket gaskets and shock and vibration mounts. The industrial 4 7 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. 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 and Manufactured Products purchases substantially all of its raw materials, principally metals and certain component parts incorporated into its 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 10% 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 Manufactured Products are commodity products available from several domestic suppliers. BACKLOG Management believes that backlog is not a meaningful measure for the Company's ILS operating units, as a majority of ILS' customers require just-in-time delivery of fasteners and other industrial products. Management believes that 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 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. 5 8 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. At its facility in Kent, Ohio, the Company's indirect subsidiary, RB&W Manufacturing LLC, is conducting remediation of groundwater impacted by operations and disposal activities. Contaminants known to be present in the groundwater at the facility and/or to have migrated off-site include oil and certain volatile organic compounds. In addition, soil and groundwater investigations are being conducted in connection with a closure under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, of hazardous waste storage areas associated with former metal plating operations. RB&W has filed suit against the former owner seeking reimbursement of costs spent and contribution for future costs for remediation efforts at the Kent facility. The Company does not believe that future costs to address the currently identified environmental issues at its facilities will be material.

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 in 1998 and 1997. During 1998, the Company acquired two businesses for $40.2 million. During October, 1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"). Gateway is a distributor of fasteners and other industrial products and a manufacturer of metal products and fasteners. During April, 1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of Direct Fasteners Limited ("Direct"), a distributor of fasteners located in Ontario, Canada. During 1997, the Company acquired five businesses for $60.4 million ("the 1997 Acquisitions"). The largest of the 1997 Acquisitions was Arden Industrial Products, Inc. ("Arden") which was acquired for $44 million as of August 1, 1997. Arden is a national supplier of specialty and standard fasteners to the industrial market. All acquisitions are accounted for as purchases and consequently their results are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. In 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Bennett Industries, Inc., a manufacturer of plastic containers, in order to focus on its remaining logistics and manufacturing businesses. 9 12 OVERVIEW The Company operates logistics ("Integrated Logistics Solutions" or "ILS") and diversified manufacturing ("Manufactured Products") businesses that 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 in the transportation, industrial, electrical and lawn and garden equipment industries. Manufactured Products designs and manufactures 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. The Company previously announced that it was planning to cause ILS to issue shares of common stock to the public. It was anticipated that a registration statement would be filed in the third quarter of 1998 and that the offering would be completed during 1998. However, the market conditions were not conducive for initial public offerings during that time period and no prediction can be made that favorable market conditions will exist in the near term. As a result, the Company has indefinitely postponed the filing of a registration statement. A registration statement relating to these securities has not been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. This disclosure shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any State. The statements herein regarding the filing of a registration statement, the timing of the offering and any other future aspects relating to the offering and other statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, market conditions (including the price and market for the common stock) and other factors detailed herein under the heading "Forward-Looking Statements." Between 1994 and 1998, the Company has grown significantly, both internally and through acquisitions. Over this period, the Company's net sales increased at a 43.8% compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR"), from $129.2 million to $551.8 million, and income from continuing operations on a fully taxed basis increased at a 33.2% CAGR from $4.1 million to $12.9 million. This growth has been primarily attributable to the Company's strategy of making selective acquisitions in order to complement internal growth. Historically, the Company has acquired underperforming businesses with potential for: (i) significant cost reductions through improved labor, supplier and customer relations and increased purchasing power and (ii) revenue enhancement due to better asset utilization and management practices, as well as increased access to capital. The Company's internal growth has been driven primarily by the addition of ILS customers under TFS contracts and by the leveraging of existing customer relationships at Manufactured Products. Between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 1998, the Company's continuing operations incurred $64.2 million of capital expenditures, the majority of which was used to expand and upgrade existing manufacturing facilities and enhance ILS' management information systems. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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 10 13 from Manufactured Products' 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 34%, 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. The increase 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. 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. 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 coupon 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. 1997 versus 1996 Net sales from continuing operations increased by $93.4 million, or 27%, from $347.7 million in 1996 to $441.1 million in 1997. Approximately 42% of this increase was attributable to internal growth and 58% was a result of the 1997 Acquisitions. Of the internal sales growth, approximately 70% was primarily attributable to the addition of TFS customers in the ILS segment and the remainder was due to increased orders from Manufactured Products' customers. Of the growth in net sales attributable to the 1997 acquisitions, the majority applies to the ILS segment and primarily pertains to Arden which was acquired as of August 1, 1997. Gross profit from continuing operations increased by $14.1 million, or 24%, from $58.3 million in 1996 to $72.4 million in 1997. Of the increase, 79% relates to the 1997 Acquisitions and 21% was due to internal growth. A majority of the increase attributable to the 1997 Acquisitions was related to Arden. The Company's consolidated gross margin from continuing operations decreased to 16.4% in 1997 from 16.8% in 1996. This decrease in consolidated gross margin was primarily due to a change in the Company's revenue mix. Selling, general and administrative costs from continuing operations increased by 16% to $44.4 million in 1997 from $38.1 million in 1996. Approximately 93% of such increase was related to the 1997 Acquisitions. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of net sales to 10.1% in 1997 from 11.0% in 1996 due to economies of scale resulting from higher sales volume. Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $2.2 million from $6.9 million in 1996 to $9.1 million in 1997 due to average debt outstanding in 1997 increasing by $19.9 million and to the reclassification in 1996 of approximately $.8 million of interest expense to discontinued operations 11 14 resulting from the sale of Bennett Industries. Average interest rates for the period were approximately the same in 1997 and 1996. As a result of the early extinguishment of the Company's 7 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due June 15, 2004, and its then existing bank credit facility, the Company recorded an extraordinary charge of $1.5 million, net of income taxes, in 1997. At December 31, 1997, subsidiaries of the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $9.4 million, subject to certain limitations that expire between 2001 and 2007. LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements. On November 2, 1998, Park-Ohio amended and restated its credit agreement with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $150 million on an unsecured basis. This agreement, the proceeds of which will be used for general corporate purposes, expires on April 30, 2001. Amounts borrowed under the agreement may be at Park-Ohio's election at either (i) the bank's prime lending rate less 100-30 basis points or (ii) LIBOR plus 90-170 basis points depending on the aggregate amount borrowed under the agreement. As of December 31, 1998, $86.0 million was outstanding under the facility. On November 25, 1997, the Company sold $150 million of its 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. The Company used the net proceeds of the Senior 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. 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 1999 are projected to be approximately $15 million which will be used to invest in the Company's current facilities for projected new business, for scheduled improvements and new equipment to expand existing products. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.19 at December 31, 1998, compared to 2.83 at December 31, 1997. Working capital increased by $30.5 million to $176.9 million at December 31, 1998 from $146.4 million at December 31, 1997 as a result of the inclusion of acquisitions completed in 1998 and to support the internal growth of the Company. 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 $3.7 million from operating activities. During the year, the Company invested $22.7 million in facilities, machinery and equipment, and information systems, used $40.2 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 221,494 shares of its common stock in the open market for $3.0 million. As of December 31, 1997, after issuing 199,000 common shares from the treasury for the exercise of stock options, the Company had 148,719 shares of its common stock in the treasury. During the year, 351,000 shares of common stock were issued under stock option agreements for which the Company received $3.2 million from the option holders. In addition, the Company purchased in the open market $1.2 million of its convertible senior subordinated debentures. 12 15 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. During 1996, the Company generated $20.4 million from continuing operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities. After giving effect to the use of $14.7 million in the operating accounts and $2.0 million provided from discontinued operations, the Company provided $7.7 million from operating activities. During 1996, the Company invested $15.6 million in capital expenditures and purchased 126,225 shares of its common stock for $1.8 million, all of which were funded by internally generated cash flow and bank borrowings. IMPACT OF INFLATION Although inflation was not a significant factor in 1998, the Company continues to seek ways to cope with its impact. To the extent permitted by competition, the Company's operations generally attempt to pass on increased costs by increasing sales prices over time. The Company primarily uses the FIFO method of accounting for its inventories. Under this method, current costs are generally reflected in cost of products. The charges to operations for depreciation represent the allocation of historical costs incurred over past years and are significantly less than if they were based on the current cost of productive capacity being consumed. YEAR 2000 CONVERSION The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize 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, the Company developed a Y2K Task Force, which was established to monitor and track the Y2K compliance at its operating units. The Task Force developed a Y2K plan in order to minimize the risk to the Company's operating units and its customers. The plan to resolve the Y2K issues involves four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. To date, the Task Force has completed its assessment of the Company's computer hardware and software applications, process control equipment, and other non-information technology equipment. After taking into consideration investments in new equipment and systems that have already been made, this assessment has determined that with only a few exceptions, the systems are Y2K compliant. The exceptions require upgrades of software programs or changes to existing programs. The remediation and testing phases are currently underway, and upgrades and software corrections are being completed. The target for completion of all phases is by the second quarter of 1999. The Company also expects critical contingency plans to be developed by the end of the second quarter of 1999. Based upon the assessments and remediations completed to date, the Company does not expect that the Y2K issue will have a material effect on its business operations, consolidated financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. In addition, the Task Force is reviewing the Y2K compliance of the Company's key suppliers, customers and service providers ("significant third parties") in an effort to reduce the potential adverse effect on its operations from non-compliance by such parties. This significant third party review has begun and is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. Interfaces to external suppliers and customers are part of this assessment and validation process. As these significant third parties are reviewed, the Task Force intends to develop contingency plans, if necessary, for significant third parties that exhibit possible Y2K problems. The Company has identified the most likely risks of Y2K non-compliance as the risk that significant third parties will not be Y2K compliant. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Y2K problem, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Y2K compliance failures will have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial 13 16 condition. If Y2K compliance is not achieved by these significant third parties, over which the Company has no control, it could, depending on duration, have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to remedy, test, and implement the software and operating equipment for Y2K modifications. The total cost to achieve Y2K compliance is estimated at $9 million. Approximately 75% of this cost represents new systems, which the Company may have initiated during the period, notwithstanding the Y2K issue. To date, the Company has incurred approximately $8.0 million for new systems and equipment, with the majority of these costs for the conversion/development of systems. The remaining $1.0 million will be funded through operating cash flows. The Company generally does not separately identify the direct costs of internal employees working on Y2K projects. 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.

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 fixed rate debt consisting of $150 million, 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes. The estimated fair value of these notes at year end 1998 would be $2 million higher than the recorded value based on current borrowing rates available for financings with similar terms and maturities. 15 18 ITEM 8.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996 (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 $4,869 and $4,895 higher than reported at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Major Classes of Inventories DECEMBER 31 ------------------- 1998 1997 -------- -------- In-process and finished goods....................... $124,783 $100,283 Raw materials and supplies.......................... 25,269 29,229 -------- -------- $150,052 $129,512 ======== ======== 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 1997 and 1996 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 C) over periods from twenty-five to forty years using the straight-line method. Management periodically evaluates for possible impairment the current value of these intangibles through cash flow and income analyses of the acquired businesses 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. Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory defined benefit or noncontributory defined contribution plans, covering substantially all employees. The Company has two non-pension and 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 22 25 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED 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, 1998 the Company had uncollateralized receivables with six customers in the automotive and truck industry each with several locations approximating $25,995 which represents 27% of the Company's trade accounts receivable. During 1998, sales to these customers amounted to approximately $135,241 which represents 25% of the Company's net sales. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards: The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", at the beginning of 1998. Statement 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive earnings and its components in financial statements; however, the adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's net earnings. Statement 130 requires foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were immaterial and included in accrued expenses, to be included in other comprehensive earnings. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the requirements of Statement 130. The FASB has issued two accounting pronouncements which the Company adopted in the fourth quarter of 1998. FASB Statement No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" and FASB Statement No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits -- an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106" both expand or modify disclosures and accordingly, have no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 23 26 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED 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 statement will be applied prospectively and is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. This new standard is not expected to 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 expects to adopt the SOP in the first quarter of 1999. The impact of adoption of the SOP on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows is expected to be immaterial. FASB Statement 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, 1999 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 -- CORPORATE REORGANIZATION At the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. ("Park-Ohio") held on May 28, 1998, the shareholders of Park-Ohio approved an agreement of Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated February 20, 1998 by and among Park-Ohio, PKOH Holdings Corp. ("Holdings") and PKOH Merger Corp. ("Merger Corp.") providing for a reorganization of Park-Ohio into a holding company form of ownership with Holdings as its sole parent. On June 10, 1998, Holdings amended and restated its articles of incorporation to increase its authorized shares from 100 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, to 40,000,000 shares of common stock and 632,470 shares of preferred stock, all $1.00 par value per share, and changed its name from PKOH Holding Corp. to Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. Effective as of the close of business on June 15, 1998, Merger Corp. was merged with and into Park-Ohio upon the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) all of the shares of Park-Ohio's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted into an equal number of shares of Holding's common stock(on a share-for-share basis), (ii) all of the shares of Merger Corp.'s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were converted into 100 shares of Park-Ohio's common stock and (iii) all of the shares of Holdings' common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were canceled. Prior to the Merger, there was no public market for Holdings' common stock, and Park-Ohio's common stock was listed for trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "PKOH". Upon the opening of the market after the effective time of the Merger: (i) Holdings' common stock was registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and was listed for trading on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol "PKOH"; (ii) Park-Ohio common stock was simultaneously delisted from the NASDAQ National Market and ceased to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; and (iii) Holdings assumed Park-Ohio's reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. 24 27 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS The Company completed two acquisitions for cash of approximately $40.2 million in 1998. In April 1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of Direct Fasteners Limited ("Direct") a distributor of fasteners located in Ontario, Canada. In October 1998, the Company acquired all of the shares of GIS Industries, Inc. ("Gateway"), a distributor of fasteners and other industrial products and a manufacturer of metal products and fasteners. Both Direct and Gateway are included in the Company's Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS") segment. Each of the transactions were accounted for as a purchase. The aggregate purchase price and the results of operations of both Direct and Gateway prior to the date of acquisition were not material to the Company. In January 1999, the Company acquired all of the shares of The Metalloy Corporation ("Metalloy") for cash. Metalloy is a full service aluminum casting and machining company and will be included in the Company's Manufactured Products segment. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price and the results of operations of Metalloy prior to the date of acquisition were not material to the Company. 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: Cash........................................................ $ 2,711 Accounts receivable......................................... 11,503 Inventories................................................. 17,764 Property, plant and equipment............................... 4,468 Excess purchase price over net assets acquired.............. 19,599 Other assets................................................ 6,680 Trade accounts payable...................................... (6,437) Accrued expenses............................................ (5,930) Long-term liabilities....................................... (6,358) ------- Total estimated cost of acquisition......................... $44,000 ======= 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, 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 acquisition occurred on the date indicated, or which may result in the future.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED On October 15, 1993, the Company acquired General Aluminum Mfg. Company (GAMCO), by issuing 250,000 shares of its common stock valued at $3,127 in exchange for the outstanding shares of GAMCO. An additional 187,500 shares of common stock valued at $1,931, were issued in March, 1995; an additional 375,000 shares of common stock valued at $3,975 were issued in January, 1997; an additional 187,500 shares of common stock valued at $2,494, representing the final earn-out shares to be issued under the GAMCO purchase agreement, were issued in 1998. The additional $8,400 represents purchase price in excess of net assets acquired. NOTE D -- DISPOSITIONS 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 America Packaging Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian company, for $50.8 million in cash, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $13.8 million. The results of operations and changes in cash flows for Bennett have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the related consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows, respectively. 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, for the year ended December 31, 1996 were as follows: YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 ----------------- Sales....................................................... $49,448 Costs and expenses.......................................... 44,502 ------- Income from discontinued operations before income taxes..... 4,946 Income taxes................................................ 1,820 ------- Net income from discontinued operations..................... $ 3,126 ======= During September, 1998 the Company completed the sale of the assets of Friendly and Safe Packaging Systems, Inc. to Kerr Group. The transaction had an immaterial effect on the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company. NOTE E -- ACCRUED EXPENSES Accrued expenses include the following: DECEMBER 31 ------------------ 1998 1997 ------- ------- Self-insured liabilities.................................... $ 2,911 $ 2,827 Warranty and installation accruals.......................... 3,156 3,401 Accrued payroll and payroll-related items................... 2,586 4,820 State and local taxes....................................... 2,101 2,324 Advance billings............................................ 2,229 2,215 Acquisition liabilities..................................... 5,930 1,906 Interest payable............................................ 1,695 1,498 Sundry...................................................... 11,468 9,300 ------- ------- Totals............................................ $32,076 $28,291 ======= ======= 26 29 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.

Interest is payable quarterly at the prime lending rate less 1% to .3% (6.75% at December 31, 1998) or at Park-Ohio's election at LIBOR plus .9% to 1.7% (which aggregated 6.5% at December 31, 1998). The interest rate is dependent on the aggregate amounts borrowed under the agreement. The weighted average rate on borrowings was 8.2% at December 31, 1998. 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 fair market value of fixed rate debt securities at December 31, 1998 was approximately $152,625. 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: Discount on prepayment of 7 1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures................................... $1,245 Write-off related unamortized financing costs............... 1,196 ------ Extraordinary charge before income tax benefit.............. 2,441 Income tax benefit.......................................... 928 ------ Net extraordinary charge.................................... $1,513 ====== The Company has agreements on which up to $5 million in standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit may be issued. In addition to the bank's customary letter of credit fees, a 3/4% fee is assessed on standby letters of credit on an annual basis. As of December 31, 1998, in addition to amounts borrowed under the revolving credit agreement, there is $2.8 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. 27 30 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED Maturities of long-term debt during each of the five years following December 31, 1998 are approximately $622 in 1999, $537 in 2000, $86,278 in 2001, $427 in 2002 and $123 in 2003.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED At December 31, 1998, 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 H -- 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 may be 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 will automatically receive options to acquire 6,000 shares at the market price on the date of grant. 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 1998, there were no awards under the 1998 Plan. Had the compensation cost for the stock options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 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 $1,235 ($.11 per share) in 1998, $1,304 ($.11 per share) in 1997, and $1,290 ($.11 per share) in 1996. The effects on 1998, 1997 and 1996 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 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 4.75%, 5.25% and 5.25%; zero dividend yield; expected volatility of 39% in 1998, 40% in 1997 and 43% in 1996 and expected option lives of 6 years for 1998 and 1997 and 6 to 10 years for 1996. 29 32 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTE L -- INDUSTRY SEGMENTS The Company conducts its business through two segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions ("ILS") and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading national supplier of fasteners (e.g., nuts, bolts and screws) and other industrial products to OEMs, other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such industrial products, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective procurement solutions. The principal customers of ILS are in the transportation, industrial, electrical, lawn and garden equipment industries. Manufactured Products designs and manufactures 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. The Company's sales are made through its own sales organization, distributors and representatives. Intersegment sales from the manufactured products segment to the ILS segment are immaterial and eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the figures presented. Intersegment sales are accounted for at values based on market prices. Income allocated to segments excludes certain corporate expenses, interest expense and amortization of excess purchase price over net assets acquired. Identifiable assets by industry segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets generally consist of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, and other assets. 32 35 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.
