ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS - ------- ------------------------------------ On March 31, 1995 (the "Closing Date"), P.O. Acquisition Company, Inc. ("POAC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant was merged into RB&W Corporation (RB&W) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Plan and Agreement of Merger dated as of February 6, 1995 (the "Restated Agreement"), among the Registrant, POAC, and RB&W. In consideration of such merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of POAC were converted into 100 shares of RB&W common stock, and the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of RB&W were converted into the right to receive, $4.45 in cash, plus .33394 of a fully paid and nonassessable share of the Registrant's common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Park-Ohio Shares"). The total amount of cash paid to RB&W Shareholders by Park-Ohio shall not exceed $29,968,387 and the total number of Park-Ohio Shares finally determined to be issuable (the "Merger Consideration") shall not exceed 2,248,942 shares. Assuming the maximum number of Park-Ohio Shares were issued, the Merger Consideration would have a value of $55,831,220 million, valued at the March 31, 1995 NASDAQ closing price of $11.50 per Park-Ohio Share. The consideration paid by the Registrant to acquire RB&W through the merger was determined by arm's length negotiation between RB&W and the Registrant. See Note A to the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements for source of the funds used for this transaction. RB&W's assets, in general consist of real property, equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory. RB&W primarily manufactures cold formed industrial fasteners and distributes products associated with the fastener industry. The Registrant intends for RB&W to continue and expand in its present lines of business. 2 3 ITEM 7.

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 9 10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Summary of Major Accounting Policies: Basis of consolidation: The financial statements include the accounts of RB&W Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Inventory and tooling valuation: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Production tooling is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost, and is expensed when issued into the manufacturing process. Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and betterments are added to the property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. The Company follows the policy of providing for depreciation of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 20 to 40 years for buildings and of 4 to 12 years for other assets. At the time of disposition of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss on disposition is included in income. Income taxes: Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Income taxes are recognized during the year in which transactions enter into the determination of financial statement income with deferred taxes being provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. Postemployment benefits: The Company contributes to the pension funds the minimum amount required by regulations or contracts. Company contributions to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are expensed when made. Effective January 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits" (FAS No. 106), which requires the cost of providing postretirement benefits to be recognized during the years that employees render the necessary employment service. In November, 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." Statement 112 requires accrual accounting for benefits provided to former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 1994. The effect of adopting this statement was not material to the consolidated financial statements. 10 11 Note 1 - Summary of Major Accounting Policies Cont'd: Environmental: Expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitment to a formal plan of action. Income per common share: Income per common share computations are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective years and the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants in 1994 and 1993. 11 12 Note 2 - Special Charges: To continue addressing the major restructuring of manufacturing operations, the Company provided, in the fourth quarter of 1992, $10,550,000 in contemplation of possible plant sales or closures, reductions in labor force and other related costs. In March 1993, the Company agreed to sell its Rock Falls and Chicago, Illinois manufacturing plants. The sale of the plants was completed on August 17, 1993 to be effective on August 9, 1993. The revenues and expenses of the plants during the phase-out period through the date of sale were included in the appropriate sales and expense captions in the statement of operations. The net loss of $1,156,000 incurred during the phase-out period was credited to special charges and offset against the accrual. The extended delay in completing the sale resulted in incurring expenses beyond the reserve taken in 1992. Therefore, an additional charge of $700,000 was recorded in the third quarter of 1993. The sales proceeds, which approximated the book value of the assets sold less the liabilities assumed by the buyer were comprised of a combination of subordinated notes and cash. The notes total $9.9 million, are non-interest bearing and are due in August, 1998. They are secured by a second position in the plants' assets. No value was assigned to these notes in the financial statements. The cash portion of the purchase price was $5.9 million. The Company utilized approximately $2.7 million of the proceeds for the purchase of heat treat furnaces at both plants that had been previously leased to the Company and will be leased by the Company to the buyer. The Company has agreed to indemnify the buyer and its lender for existing environmental conditions discovered during the next five years for an unlimited dollar amount. Cash of $1 million was deposited into an escrow account for this purpose. At December 31, 1994, $354,000 remained in the escrow account. The Company believes, based on comprehensive environmental investigations conducted at the time of sale, this amount will be adequate to cover potential environmental costs. The terms of the sale agreement called for the Company to keep existing accounts receivable as of the sale date of approximately $6.9 million and for the buyer to assume the plants' outstanding liabilities of approximately $6.0 million. The Company guaranteed up to $500,000 of the buyer's trade payables to a major steel supplier for up to a three-year period. The Company leases several high-speed cold-forming machines located at Rock Falls from a finance company under leases with remaining terms of five years. The machines have been subleased to the buyer, but the Company will remain principally liable for the lease payments. 12 13 Note 3 - Property, Plant and Equipment Held for Sale: In 1983, the Company sold its Mentor, Ohio plant and office facilities to Geo. Worthington Company for $7,400,000 including the assumption of the $5,700,000 Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRB's) for which the Company remained contingently liable. In 1986, Worthington filed Chapter 11 under the Bankruptcy Act, and the Trustee for the IRB's required the Company to make payments of the remaining obligations as they became due. In April, 1991 Worthington filed Chapter VII. In 1992, the IRB's were paid off and the Company acquired title to the real estate. The net payments are included in property, plant and equipment held for sale. These payments totalled $3,885,000 at December 31, 1992. In the fourth quarter of 1993 the Company signed a letter of intent to sell the property, and the asset was reduced by $1,760,000 to approximate the net cash proceeds to be received upon completion of the sale. The charge was recorded in other expense. The sale was completed duing the fourth quarter of 1994. The unsold real estate relating to the closed Cleveland plant is also included in property, plant and equipment held for sale at December 31, 1994 and 1993. 13 14 Note 4 - Leases: The Company leases manufacturing, warehouse and office facilities and other equipment under leases which are often renewable. Many of the leases provide that the Company will pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance on the property. Total rent expense was $3,001,000 in 1994, $3,368,000 in 1993 and $3,587,000 in 1992. Minimum lease commitments for operating leases are:

Minimum commitments have not been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $1,604,000 receivable under noncancellable subleases. The Company leases certain equipment to the buyer of the two screw plants sold in 1993 (Note 2). A summary of minimum lease rentals to be received under direct financing leases are as follows: 1995...............................................$ 461 1996............................................... 461 1997............................................... 461 1998............................................... 461 1999............................................... 461 Later years........................................ 690 ------ Total minimum lease payments receivable............ 2,995 Less interest...................................... 900 ------ Present value of minimum lease payments............ 2,095 Less current portion............................... 461 ------ Long-term portion (included in other assets).......$1,634 ======

(1) On October 20, 1993 the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with a finance company. The Credit Agreement, which has a three-year term, consists of a $3,000,000 term loan and a $27,000,000 revolving loan, a portion of which can be utilized in the form of a letter of credit facility. The term loan was paid off in its entirety in November, 1994. The loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at varying rates, and at December 31, 1994 the rate was 8.43%. An annual collateral monitoring fee of $50,000 is payable beginning in 1994 and the Company must also pay a fee of 1/2% on the unused loan balance up to $5,000,000 and 1/4% on the unused balance over $5,000,000. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by a major portion of the Company's current assets. The agreement contains certain covenants which, among other things, restrict the payment of dividends, limit investments and other indebtedness, limit borrowings under the Credit Agreement pursuant to a borrowing base formula and other criteria, and require maintenance of certain financial ratios. 15 16 Note 5 - Long-Term Debt Cont'd.: (2) During 1990, the Company purchased a piece of manufacturing equipment and related tooling from a Belgian company for which bills of exchange were issued. The bills of exchange, which are denominated in Belgian Francs, bear interest at a rate of 8.70% and are due in equal principal semi-annual payments over a five-year period.
16 17 Note 6 - Income Taxes: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 (FAS No. 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes" effective January 1, 1992. FAS No. 109 requires the Company to adopt the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures the expected tax impact of future taxable income or deductions implicit in the balance sheet. The cumulative effect as of January 1, 1992 of the accounting change to FAS No. 109 was not considered material. The adoption of FAS No. 109 had no cash flow impact. Income taxes consist of:

Results of operations of the Company's foreign subsidiary included in pre-tax accounting income were $569,000 in 1994, $1,381,000 in 1993 and $1,083,000 in 1992. Temporary differences and carryforwards which give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities for 1994 and 1993 were as follows:

17 18 Note 6 - Income Taxes Cont'd.: The valuation allowance represents the tax effect of various future tax benefits which are not likely to be utilized. The net change in the valuation allowance was a decrease of $873,000. The difference between the provision for income taxes and the tax expense computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to (income) loss before taxes, is attributable to the following:

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax return purposes aggregating approximately $21,131,000. These carryforwards will expire in various periods between 1998 and 2008. In addition, the Company has investment tax credit carryforwards of $628,000 for income tax return purposes. The tax credits will expire in various amounts through 2000. Cash paid for income taxes in 1994 was $460,000 in 1994, $485,000 in 1993 and $515,000 in 1992. 18 19 Note 7 - Stock Options and Warrants: During the period from 1978 through 1994, non-qualified options were granted at an option price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock at the grant dates. Generally, one-third or one-fourth of these options become exercisable annually after a holding period of twelve to twenty-six months. The table below summarizes information with respect to employee and director stock options:

There were 172,834 options exercisable at December 31, 1994, and 114,500 at December 31, 1993. Warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock were issued with a 1984 sale of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. At December 31, 1994, 66,666 warrants had been exercised and 333,334 remained outstanding. Subject to dilution provisions, each outstanding warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $6.00 per share through December 31, 1999. 19 20 Note 8 - Postretirement Benefits: In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 - "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits" (FAS No. 106), which requires the cost of providing postretirement benefits to be recognized during the years that employees render the necessary employment service. In applying FAS No. 106, the Company immediately recognized the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation (APBO) of $3,934,000, or $.71 per share, as of January 1, 1992 as a change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 1992. The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for those benefits. Those and similar benefits for active employees are provided through an insurance company whose premiums are based on the benefits paid during the year. With the exception of certain participants, plans require retired participants to make contributions towards the premiums, and premium increases have historically been passed on to the participants. In addition, benefits under postretirement medical plans for most retirees have fixed payment schedules which are immune to inflationary pressures. The Company's APBO is comprised of the following:
Dollars in Thousands - -------------------- 1994 1993 ------ ------ Retirees $1,985 $2,652 Fully eligible active plan participants 248 224 Other active plan participants 883 906 ------ ------ APBO 3,116 3,782 Unrecognized net loss 589 (172) ------ ------ Postretirement benefit related liability $3,705 $3,610 ====== ======
The components of net periodic postretirement benefit costs are:
Dollars in Thousands - -------------------- 1994 1993 ------ ------ Service Cost $ 40 $ 80 Interest Cost 229 292 Net amortization (21) - ------ ------ Net periodic postretirement benefit cost 248 372 Curtailment due to sale of plants - (261) Curtailment at Kent, Ohio plant - (105) ------ ------ Net periodic postretirement benefit expense $248 $ 6 ====== ======
A discount rate of 7.5% was used to determine the APBO for both years. Assumed annual rates of increase in the cost of health care for 1994 ranged from 3% for certain retirees over age 65 to 14.25% for retirees younger than 65. A 1% increase in the assumed rate of increase would increase the APBO by $171,000 and the 1994 expense by $19,000. 20 21 Note 9 - Retirement and Pension Plans: The Company has a number of pension plans which provide coverage for substantially all union employees in the Manufacturing segment. The majority of plan assets are invested in stocks, bonds and temporary investments. The components of net pension expense are:
Dollars in thousands 1994 1993 1992 - -------------------- -------- -------- -------- Service cost $ 179 $ 299 $ 370 Interest cost 1,917 2,013 2,004 Actual return on assets 69 (7,608) (3,631) Net amortization and deferral (3,046) 5,368 1,608 -------- -------- -------- Net pension expense (income) $ (881) $ 72 $ 351 ======== ======== ========
Assumptions used for net periodic pension costs for all three years were: Assumed discount rate 7-1/2% Expected rate of return on assets 9% Assumed rate of compensation increase for certain plans 2-1/2%
Benefits under certain other plans are not based upon wages. 21 22 Note 9 - Retirement and Pension Plans Cont'd.: The funded status of the Company's pension plans is:

For the valuation of pension obligations at December 31, 1994 and 1993, the discount rate was 7-1/2% and the expected return on assets was 9%. Effective December 31, 1993, the Company merged one underfunded and three overfunded pension plans into one overfunded plan. The merger had no effect on benefit levels, accrued benefits, or other rights and entitlements previously given under each plan prior to the merger. In 1992, the Company recorded an additional pension liability in the amount of $4,157,000 and an intangible asset in the amount of $1,702,000 representing the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation required by FAS No. 87. The difference of $2,455,000 represented a charge to stockholders' equity of $1,545,000 for the underfunded plans and expense totalling $910,000 resulting from the plan curtailment at the Cleveland plant. As a result of the merger and the increase in the market value of the plans' assets during 1993, the pension liability and the corresponding asset and reduction of stockholders' equity for the underfunded plans at December 31, 1992 have been substantially reversed. Plan curtailments in 1993 resulted from the sale of the Company's screw plants and reductions in the work force at the Kent, Ohio plant. The net curtailment gain of $604,000 relating to the screw plants was offset against the accrued restructuring reserve and the $167,000 curtailment loss relating to the Kent plant was charged to 1993 operations. The Company has a fully Company paid Employee Stock Ownership Plan which provides coverage to all domestic employees, except those covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement which does not require them to be included in the Plan. The contribution to this Plan was $630,000 in 1993 and $781,000 in 1992. In 1994 an accrual of $622,000 was recorded, and the contribution will be made in 1995. 22 23 Note 10 - Contingent Liabilities: In 1993 the Company sold real estate in Mentor, Ohio, and the buyer assumed the outstanding Industrial Revenue Bonds. The Company remains contingently liable for the bond payments. The outstanding balance at December 31, 1994 was $1,156,000. The Company is subject to various legal actions, governmental investigations, and proceedings relating to various matters incidental to its business including product liability claims. The Company intends to vigorously defend these matters. While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, after reviewing such matters and consulting with the Company's counsel and insurers, any liability which may ultimately be incurred is not expected to materially affect the consolidated financial position of the Company. The Company engaged an independent consultant to complete environmental assessments at its owned manufacturing facilities. While a number of environmental tests and measurements were conducted at the Company's Kent plant, definitive conclusions have not been reached pending additional investigations, including those in accordance with proposed modifications to a State approved plan. The Company has accrued, in the 1994 financial statements, management's best estimate of costs associated with remediation of the Kent site. This estimate will be updated as new information becomes available. It is possible that the results of operations and/or cash flows in any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by these environmental contingencies. While it is impossible at this time to determine with certainty the ultimate effect on the financial statements of environmental matters, including at the Kent site, it is management's opinion, based in part on the advice of independent experts and counsel (after taking into account possible recourse actions) that when the final costs are determined, they will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations or on the consolidated financial position of the Company. 23 24 Note 11 - Quarterly Data (Unaudited): Summarized unaudited quarterly financial data (in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts) follow. The third quarter of 1993 includes a $700,000 non-recurring charge (Note 2) and the fourth quarter of 1993 includes a $1,760,000 charge to write down an asset to its estimated fair market value (Note 3).

24 25 Note 12 - Business Segments: The Company operates in two segments: Manufacturing and Distribution. Operations in Manufacturing involve production and sale of metal nuts. Operations in Distribution involve the distribution of all types of products associated with the fastener industry for use in maintenance and repair requirements and as components to original equipment manufacturers. Operating profit for each segment consists of total revenues less applicable costs and expenses related to those revenues. In 1992, Manufacturing operating loss was increased by $10,550,000 for a restructuring charge (see Note 2). The following items are excluded from the determination of operating profit: general corporate expenses, interest expense and miscellaneous income and expense items. Transfers between segments are generally at normal selling prices. General corporate expenses are primarily central administrative office expenses. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets identified with the operations of each segment. Corporate assets consist of certain cash accounts, miscellaneous receivables, prepaid expenses, property, plant and equipment and a long term pension asset (see Note 9) relating directly to corporate offices. Sales to automotive original equipment manufacturers were approximately 13%, 20% and 22% of consolidated sales in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. One customer accounted for 5% of consolidated sales in 1994, 11% in 1993 and 13% in 1992. Foreign sales were not significant. Sales and identifiable assets of the Canadian subsidiary were not material and are included in the Manufacturing segment. 25 26

Cleveland, Ohio April 14, 1995 27 28 PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-- (UNAUDITED) The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the acquisition of RB&W by Park-Ohio through the issuance of 2,135,257 shares of Common Stock ($11.50 per share market value as of March 31, 1995) and cash of $28,454,000 in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The pro forma financial statements are based on estimates and assumptions set forth below and in the notes to such statements which include the pro forma adjustments. Historical financial data of Park-Ohio and RB&W included in the following data have been taken from the financial statements and other financial information of Park-Ohio and RB&W. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the related pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes the audited historical financial data of Park-Ohio and RB&W. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the transaction as if it has occurred as of the date of the Company's latest year end balance sheet, December 31, 1994. The pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1994, gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at the beginning of the year. Final purchase accounting adjustments and analysis of possible contingent liabilities will be evaluated and, therefore, may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. The pro forma information presented below is not necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have been obtained if the Merger had been consummated in the past or which may be obtained in the future.

30 31 PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 1994 NOTE A The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet (Unaudited) reflects the issuance of 2,135,257 shares of Park-Ohio Common Stock ($11.50 market value per share at March 31, 1995, total of $24,555,000) and cash of $28,454,000 ($4.45 per share) less proceeds of $1,570,000 from the assumed exercise of outstanding options of RB&W, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of RB&W Common Stock (6,015,885) and common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options of RB&W (378,250). This assumes an exchange ratio of .33394 shares of Park-Ohio Common Stock for each share of RB&W. The net cash portion of the Merger ($26,884,000) will be financed under Park-Ohio's existing long-term credit facility with a bank group led by Society National Bank, which carries interest at a percentage over LIBOR. NOTE B The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase. The following purchase accounting adjustments were recorded in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined financial statements, which results in an excess purchase price over historical cost of $29,848,000 which will be amortized over twenty-five years: - A $5,366,000 reduction in prepaid tooling and manufacturing supplies of RB&W to conform RB&W's accounting policy for these items to Park-Ohio's. - Adjustment of $3,000,000 to RB&W's valuation allowance for deferred tax assets to reflect the anticipated benefit from the use of a portion of RB&W's operating loss carryforwards. - Recognition of RB&W's prepaid pension expense of $5,000,000 reflecting the fair market value of aggregate pension plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligations. - Additional accruals, based on Park-Ohio's estimate, for possible environmental exposures and product liability matters of $3,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. 31 32 PARK-OHIO INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED NOTE B--CONTINUED The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet (Unaudited) reflects a $1,000,000 liability for expenses to be incurred in connection with the Merger. The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Income Statement (Unaudited) reflects additional interest expense under the credit facility of $2,151,000, additional amortization of $1,194,000 on a straight line basis over twenty-five years for goodwill arising from the Merger and amortization of $333,000 on a straight line basis over fifteen years of the prepaid pension expense. Based upon Park-Ohio management's analysis of RB&W's property, plant and equipment, historical net book value approximates fair market value. NOTE C Net Income Per Common Share for Park-Ohio and RB&W is based on the average number of common shares outstanding and assumes the exercise of outstanding dilutive stock options and, for Park-Ohio only, is also based on issuance of additional shares subject to certain earn-out provisions of previous acquisitions of Park-Ohio after adjusting results of operations for preferred stock dividend requirements. Pro forma weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1994 reflects the issuance of 2,135,257 shares of Park-Ohio Common Stock in connection with the Merger. Historical and Pro forma net income per common share as of December 31, 1994 has taken into account imputed goodwill amortization of $398,000 relating to earn-out provisions of previous acquisitions of Park-Ohio. 32 33 EXHIBIT INDEX ------------- EXHIBIT NO.
