NOTE D - INCOME TAXES

Effective December 31, 1995, the Company recorded the deferred tax assets
relating to anticipated future income tax benefits from utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards. As a result, as of January 1, 1996, the Company
began to fully provide for Federal income taxes. Income tax expense from

net operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE E - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Capital stock consists of the following:
Serial Preferred Stock:

Issued and outstanding - 10,407,831 shares at June 30, 1996 and
10,401,831 at December 31, 1995. The increase in outstanding shares
results from the issuance of 6,000 common shares upon the exercise
of stock options.

NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

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, an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, an Australian
company, for approximately $50 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of
approximately $14 million to be recognized in the third quarter of 1996. 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
Condensed Statements of Income and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash

operations based on the ratio of net assets discontinued to the total net assets
of the consolidated entity plus consolidated debt. The assets and liabilities
of Bennett have been classified in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as
Net Assets of Discontinued Operations. The Company now operates in two industry
segments: manufactured products and logistics.

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 June 30, 1996, and the related
consolidated condensed statements of income for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated condensed statements
of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 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, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not
presented herein, and in our report dated February 22, 1996, 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, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST HALF 1996 VERSUS FIRST HALF 1995

On July 31, 1996, substantially all of the assets of Bennett Industries,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which manufactures plastic
containers, were sold to North American Packaging Corporation, an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holding Limited of Australia for
approximately $50 million in cash. Accordingly, the results of operations and
changes in cash flows of Bennett have been classified as discontinued operations
for all periods presented in the consolidated condensed statements of income and
cash flows. The assets and liabilities of Bennett have been classified in the
consolidated condensed balance sheets as net assets of discontinued operations.
The Company now operates in two industry segments: manufactured products and
logistics.

Effective March 31, 1996, the Company acquired all of the shares of RB&W
Corporation (RB&W) in exchange for $31 million in cash and 2.0 million of its
common shares in a transaction valued at $54.2 million. The combination has
been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operations of RB&W are
included in the consolidated financial statements as of that date. The metal
forming business of RB&W is included within the manufactured products segment,
and the supply chain management business comprises the Company's logistics
segment.

Net sales from continuing operations increased by $50.9 million or 39% in the
first six months of 1996 from the corresponding period of the prior year. Of the
sales increase, approximately $47 million pertains to incorporating RB&W in the
consolidated results for the entire six months of 1996 with the remainder
pertaining to acquisitions made subsequent to the second quarter of 1995.

Gross profit from continuing operations rose to $31.0 million in the current
period from $23.2 million in the first half of 1995. RB&W accounted for
practically all of the increase. Consolidated gross margins were 17.1% of sales
in the current period and 17.8% in the first half of 1995.

Selling, general and administrative costs from continuing operations
increased by 37% in the period primarily as a result of incorporating RB&W into
the consolidated results for the entire first half of 1996. Of the total
increase of $5.1 million, 87% pertains to RB&W and the remainder to increased
sales. As a percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and
administrative costs accounted for 10.4% of the sales dollar in the current
period and 10.5% in the corresponding period of the prior year.

Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $1.6 million in the
current period due to higher levels of debt outstanding during the period.
Average debt outstanding for the period increased from $73.2 million in 1995 to
$123.7 million in 1996. The increase in borrowings was caused by the acquisition
of RB&W and higher levels of revolving credit debt to support increased sales
and production. Interest rates for the period are approximately the same as in
the first six months of 1995.

As of December 31, 1995, the Company recorded the deferred tax assets
relating to anticipated future income benefits from utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards. As a result, as of January 1, 1996, the Company began to
fully provide for Federal income taxes. At December 31, 1995, the Company and
its subsidiaries had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of
approximately $26.0 million available to offset future taxable income. For
financial reporting purposes, the Company has additional net operating loss
carryforwards relating to deductible temporary differences, the most significant
of which relates to other postretirement benefits. Federal income tax expense
from continuing operations for the 1995 period was reduced by $2.5 million due
to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

SECOND QUARTER 1996 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 1995

Net sales from continuing operations increased by $2.4 million or 3% in the
current period from the corresponding period of the prior year. The increased
sales pertains to companies acquired subsequent to the second quarter of 1995.

Gross profit from continuing operations rose to $15.4 million in the current
period from $14.9 million in the second quarter of 1995 and is primarily
attributable to internal growth. Consolidated gross margins were approximately
17% of sales in both periods.


11
12
Selling, general and administrative costs from continuing operations
increased by 6% in the period primarily as a result of increased sales. As a
percentage of sales, consolidated selling, general and administrative costs
approximated 10% of the sales dollar in both periods.

Interest expense from continuing operations increased by $291 thousand in the
second quarter of 1996 due to higher levels of debt outstanding during the
period. Average debt outstanding for the period increased from $102.5 million
in 1995 to $126.6 million in 1996. The increase in borrowings was caused by
higher levels of revolving credit debt to support increased sales and
production. Interest rates have fallen somewhat from the year earlier period
when they averaged 7.65%.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Current financial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing
arrangements) and anticipated funds from continuing operations are expected to
be adequate to meet current cash requirements, including capital expenditures.
The Company's recent growth has largely been fueled by acquisitions. In the
event additional capital resources are needed for other opportunities in the
near future, the Company believes adequate financing is either in place or would
be available. In addition, on July 31, 1996 the Company applied the net
proceeds from the sale of Bennett (approximately $49 million) to reduce
outstanding bank borrowings. The Company currently has in place a $125 million
bank agreement of which $55 million is borrowed as of August 5, 1996.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated $13.4
million from continuing operations before changes in operating assets and
liabilities. After giving effect to the use of $19.6 million in the operating
accounts and $3.4 million provided from discontinued operations, the Company
used $2.7 million in operating activities. This amount coupled with capital
expenditures of $6.2 million was funded by an increase in bank borrowings of
$9.5 million.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On July 31, 1996 (the "Closing Date"), substantially all of the assets of
Bennett Industries, Inc. ("Bennett"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, were sold to North American Packaging Corporation ("NAMPAC"), an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Southcorp Holdings Limited, pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 28, 1996, (the "Agreement"), among
the Company, Bennett, and NAMPAC. NAMPAC also acquired the stock of two
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bennett which held certain intangible assets and
certain operating assets, and NAMPAC assumed certain liabilities identified in
the Agreement. In consideration of the sale of the assets and stock, NAMPAC
paid Bennett $48,502,955 in cash and $1,500,000 in cash was placed in escrow on
the Closing Date. The escrow will be released after final determination of the
net tangible assets acquired on the Closing Date. The consideration paid by
NAMPAC to acquire the assets of Bennett was determined by arm's length
negotiation between NAMPAC, Bennett and the Company.

The assets of Bennett acquired by NAMPAC include real property, machinery
