Business Overview 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 an industrial supply chain logistics and diversiﬁed manufacturing business operating in three segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions, (‘‘ILS’’), Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. References herein to ‘‘we’’ or ‘‘the Company’’ include, where applicable Holdings, Park-Ohio and Holdings’ other direct and indirect subsidiaries. ILS provides our customers with integrated supply chain management services for a broad range of high-volume, specialty production components and has a leading market position in North America. Our Aluminum Products business manufactures cast and machined aluminum components, and our Manu- factured Products business is a major manufacturer of highly-engineered industrial products. Our businesses serve large, industrial original equipment manufacturers (‘‘OEMs’’) in a variety of industrial sectors, including the automotive, heavy-duty truck, industrial equipment, steel, rail, electrical controls, aerospace and defense, lawn and garden and semiconductor industries. As of December 31, 2004, we employed approximately 3,200 persons. The following table summarizes the key attributes of each of our business segments: NET SALES(1) SELECTED PRODUCTS SELECTED INDUSTRIES SERVED Integrated Logistics Solutions $453.2 million (56% of total) Sourcing, planning and procurement of over 175,000 production components, including: ) Fasteners ) Pins ) Valves ) Hoses ) Wire harnesses ) Clamps and ﬁttings ) Rubber and plastic components ) Heavy-duty truck ) Electrical controls ) Automotive ) Other vehicle ) Industrial equipment ) Power sports equipment ) Lawn and garden ) Semiconductor Aluminum Products Manufactured Products $135.4 million (17% of total) ) Pump housings ) Pinion carriers ) Clutch retainers ) Control arms ) Knuckles ) Brake calipers ) Master cylinders $220.1 million (27% of total) ) Induction heating and melting systems ) Pipe threading systems ) Industrial oven systems ) Injection molded rubber components ) Forging presses ) Automotive ) Agricultural equipment ) Construction equipment ) Heavy-duty truck ) Steel ) Automotive ) Oil and gas ) Rail ) Aerospace and defense (1) Results are for the year ended December 31, 2004 and exclude the results of operations related to the assets of the Amcast Components Group prior to the date of acquisition on August 23, 2004. We have established leading market positions across a variety of industries, and we believe we maintain a #1 or #2 market position in products and services that represent more than 75% of our net sales. We beneﬁt from long-term, entrenched relationships with high-quality customers that include leading OEMs, and we derive approximately 70% of our net sales from sole-source arrangements. 1 Integrated Logistics Solutions Our ILS business provides our customers with integrated supply chain management services for a broad range of high-volume, specialty production components. Our ILS customers receive various value- added services, such as engineering and design services, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packaging and tracking, just-in-time and point-of-use delivery, electronic billing services and ongoing technical support. We operate 32 logistics service centers in the United States, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico and Europe as well as production sourcing and support centers in Asia. Through our supply chain management programs, we supply more than 175,000 globally- sourced production components, many of which are specialized and customized to meet individual customers’ needs. Products and Services. Supply chain management services, which is ILS’s primary focus for future growth, involves offering customers comprehensive, on-site management for most of their pro- duction component needs. Some production components are characterized by low per unit supplier prices relative to the indirect costs of supplier management, quality assurance, inventory management and delivery to the production line. In addition, ILS delivers an increasingly broad range of higher-cost production components including valves, ﬁttings, steering components and many others. Applications- engineering specialists and the direct sales force work closely with the engineering staff of OEM customers to recommend the appropriate production components for a new product or to suggest alternative components that reduce overall production costs, streamline assembly or enhance the appearance or performance of the end product. As an additional service, ILS recently began providing spare parts and aftermarket products to end users of its customers’ products. Supply chain management services are typically provided to customers pursuant to sole-source arrangements. We believe our services distinguish us from traditional buy/sell distributors, as well as manufacturers who supply products directly to customers, because we outsource our customers’ high- volume production components supply chain management, providing processes customized to each customer’s needs and replacing numerous current suppliers with a sole-source relationship. Our highly- developed, customized, information systems provide transparency and ﬂexibility through the complete supply chain. This enables our customers to: (1) signiﬁcantly reduce the direct and indirect cost of production component processes by outsourcing internal purchasing, quality assurance and inventory fulﬁllment responsibilities; (2) reduce the amount of working capital invested in inventory and ﬂoor space; (3) reduce component costs through purchasing efﬁciencies, including bulk buying and supplier consolidation; and (4) receive technical expertise in production component selection and design and engineering. Our sole-source arrangements foster long-term, entrenched supply relationships with our customers and, as a result, the average tenure of service for our top 50 ILS clients exceeds twelve years. ILS’s remaining non-manufacturing sales are generated through the wholesale supply of industrial products to other manufacturers and distributors pursuant to master or authorized distributor relationships. ILS also engineers and manufactures precision cold formed and cold extruded products, including locknuts, SPAC˛ nuts and wheel hardware, that are principally used in applications where controlled tightening is required due to high vibration. ILS produces both standard items and specialty products to customer speciﬁcations that are used in large volumes by customers in the automotive, heavy-duty truck and rail industries. Markets and Customers. For the year ended December 31, 2004, approximately 79% of ILS’s net sales were to domestic customers. Remaining sales were primarily to manufacturing facilities of large, multinational customers located in Canada, Mexico and Europe. Supply chain management services and production components are used extensively 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 its services to over 6,500 customers domestically and internationally. The principal markets served by ILS are heavy-duty truck, electrical controls, automotive, other vehicle, industrial equipment, power sports equipment, lawn and garden and semiconductor industries. The ﬁve 2 largest customers, within which ILS sells through sole-source contracts to multiple operating divisions or locations, accounted for approximately 32% and 38% of sales of ILS for 2003 and 2004, respectively, with International Truck representing 15% and 19%, respectively, of segment sales. Two of the ﬁve largest customers are in the heavy-duty truck industry. The loss of the International Truck account or any two of the remaining top ﬁve customers could have a material adverse effect on this segment. Competition. There are a limited number of companies who compete with ILS for supply chain service contracts. ILS competes mainly with domestic competitors primarily on the basis of its value- added services, which includes sourcing, engineering and delivery capabilities, geographic reach, exten- sive product selection, price and reputation for high service levels. Aluminum Products We believe that we are one of the few part suppliers that has the capability to provide a wide range of high-volume, high-quality products utilizing a broad range of processes, including permanent mold, low-pressure, die-cast, sand-cast and lost-foam, as well as a proprietary sub-liquidous process. Our ability to offer our customers this comprehensive range of capabilities at a low cost provides us with a competitive advantage. We produce our aluminum components at six manufacturing facilities in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. Products and Services. Our Aluminum Products business casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components for automotive, agricultural equipment, heavy- duty truck and construction equipment OEMs, primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products’ principal products include transmission pump housings, intake manifolds, planetary pinion carriers, oil ﬁlter adapters, clutch retainers, bearing cups, brackets, oil pans and ﬂywheel spacers. In addition, we also provide value-added services such as design engineering, machining and part assembly. Although these parts are lightweight, they possess high durability and integrity characteristics even under ex- treme pressure and temperature conditions. Demand by automotive OEMs for aluminum castings has increased in recent years as they have sought lighter alternatives to steel and iron, primarily to increase fuel efﬁciency without compromising structural integrity. We believe that this replacement trend will continue as end-users and the regulatory environment require greater fuel efﬁciency. To capitalize on this trend, in August 2004, we acquired substantially all of the assets of the Amcast Components Group, a producer of aluminum automotive components. This acquisition signiﬁcantly increased our production capacity and added attractive new customers, product lines and production technologies. We believe that the acquisition of the Amcast Components Group will signiﬁcantly increase the net sales of our Aluminum Products business. The historical ﬁnancial data contained throughout this annual report on Form 10-K exclude the results of operations of the Amcast Components Group other than for the period from August 23, 2004 through December 31, 2004. Markets and Customers. The ﬁve largest customers, of which Aluminum Products sells to multi- ple operating divisions through sole-source contracts, accounted for approximately 79% of Aluminum Products sales for both 2003 and 2004, respectively. The loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on this segment. Competition. The domestic aluminum castings industry is highly competitive. Aluminum Prod- ucts competes principally on the basis of its ability to: (1) engineer and manufacture high-quality, cost- effective, machined castings utilizing multiple casting technologies in large volumes; (2) provide timely delivery; and (3) 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 casting capabil- ities, the customers’ stringent quality and service standards enable only large suppliers with the requi- site quality certiﬁcations to compete effectively. As one of these suppliers, Aluminum Products is well- positioned to beneﬁt as customers continue to consolidate their supplier base. 3 Manufactured Products Our Manufactured Products segment operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products, including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, rubber products and forged and machined products. We manufacture these products in eleven domestic facilities and eight international facilities in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, China and Japan. Products and Services. Our induction heating and melting business utilizes proprietary technol- ogy and specializes in the engineering, construction, service and repair of induction heating and melting systems, primarily for the steel, coatings, forging, foundry, automotive and construction equipment industries. Our induction heating and melting systems are engineered and built to customer speciﬁca- tions and are used primarily for melting, heating, and surface hardening of metals and curing of coatings. Approximately 35%-40% of our induction heating and melting systems’ revenues is derived from the sale of replacement parts and provision of ﬁeld service, primarily for the installed base of our own products. We also produce and provide services and spare parts for other capital equipment such as pipe threading equipment for the oil and gas industry, oven systems and mechanical forging presses, as well as manufacture injection molded rubber and silicone products for use in automotive and industrial applications. Our forged and machined products include locomotive crankshafts, aircraft structural components such as landing gears and rail products such as railcar center plates. We also engineer and install mechanical forging presses for the automotive and truck manufacturing industries and sell spare parts and provide ﬁeld service for the large existing base of mechanical forging presses and hammers in North America. We manufacture injection molded rubber and silicone products for use in automotive and industrial applications. The rubber products facilities manufacture products for customers in the automotive, food processing and consumer appliance industries. Their products include wire harnesses, shock and vibration mounts, spark plug boots and nipples and general sealing gaskets. During 2002, we reduced rubber products’ costs and discontinued underperforming products by selling one business unit and closing a manufacturing plant. Markets and Customers. In our Manufactured Products’ capital equipment business, approxi- mately 38% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 was derived from replacement parts and the provision of ﬁeld service. In addition, we manufacture forged and machined products produced from closed-die metal forgings of up to 6,000 pounds. Aerospace forgings are sold primarily to machin- ing companies and sub-assemblers who ﬁnish the products for sale to OEMs. We also machine, induc- tion harden and surface ﬁnish crankshafts and camshafts used primarily in locomotives. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we decided to shut down our locomotive crankshaft forging plant and entered into a long-term supply contract to purchase locomotive crankshaft forgings at a more favorable price from a third-party supplier. Forged rail products are sold primarily to railcar builders and maintenance provid- ers. Forged and machined products are sold to a wide variety of domestic and international OEMs and other manufacturers, primarily in the transportation industries. Competition. Our capital equipment units compete with small to medium-sized domestic and international equipment manufacturers on the basis of service capability, ability to meet customer speciﬁcations, delivery performance and engineering expertise. Our rubber products operating units compete primarily on the basis of price and product quality with other domestic small- to medium-sized manufacturers of injection molded rubber and silicone products. Our forged and machined products business competes domestically and internationally with other small- to medium-sized businesses on the basis of product quality and precision. 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 4 improving existing products. Aluminum Products primarily markets and sells its products in North America through internal sales personnel. Manufactured Products primarily markets and sells its prod- ucts in North America through both internal sales personnel and independent sales representatives. Induction heating and pipe threading equipment is also marketed and sold in Europe, Asia, Latin America and northern Africa through both internal sales personnel and independent sales representa- tives. In some instances, the internal engineering staff assists in the sales and marketing effort through joint design and applications-engineering efforts with major customers. Raw Materials and Suppliers ILS purchases substantially all of its production components from third-party suppliers. Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products purchase substantially all of their raw materials, principally metals and certain component parts incorporated into their products, from third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Management believes that raw materials and component parts other than certain spe- cialty products are available from alternative sources. ILS has multiple sources of supply for its products. An increasing portion of ILS’s delivered components are purchased from suppliers in foreign countries, primarily Taiwan, China, South Korea, India and Eastern Europe. We are 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 Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products are com- modity products available from several domestic suppliers. Customer Dependence We have thousands of customers who demand quality, delivery and service. Numerous customers have recognized our performance by awarding us with supplier quality awards. No customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales in any of the past three years, except for International Truck in 2004 and 2003. Backlog Management believes that backlog is not a meaningful measure for ILS, as a majority of ILS’s customers require just-in-time delivery of production components. Management believes that Aluminum Products’ and 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, Health and Safety Regulations We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect public health and the environment, particularly with regard to discharges and emissions, as well as handling, storage, treatment and disposal, of various substances and wastes. Our failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit requirements could result in civil and criminal ﬁnes or penalties or enforcement actions, including regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing opera- tions or requiring corrective measures. 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 sub- stances 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. From time to time, we have incurred and are presently incurring costs and obligations for cor- recting environmental noncompliance and remediating environmental conditions at certain of our properties. In general, we have not experienced difﬁculty in complying with environmental laws in the past, and compliance with environmental laws has not had a material adverse effect on our ﬁnancial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Our capital expenditures on environmental control facili- 5 ties were not material during the past ﬁve years and such expenditures are not expected to be material to us in the foreseeable future. We are currently, and may in the future, be required to incur costs relating to the investigation or remediation of property, including property where we have disposed of our waste, and for addressing environmental conditions. For instance, we have been identiﬁed as a potentially responsible party at 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. We are 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, our share of such costs has not been material and, based on available information, we do not expect our exposure at any of these locations to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or ﬁnancial condition.

Legal Proceedings We are subject to various pending and threatened lawsuits in which claims for monetary damages are asserted in the ordinary course of business. While any litigation involves an element of uncertainty, in the opinion of management, liabilities, if any, arising from currently pending or threatened litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our ﬁnancial condition, liquidity or results of operations. We have been named as one of many defendants in a number of asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits. Most of the cases that have been dismissed were because of a failure to identify an asbestos containing product manufactured by us or a predecessor. Our cost of defending such lawsuits has not been material to date and based upon available information, our management does not expect our future 7 costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity of ﬁnancial condition.

During 2003, the Company sold substan- tially all of the assets of Green Bearing and St. Louis Screw and Bolt. During 2002, the Company sold substantially all the assets of Castle Rubber. During 2001, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Cleveland City Forge. During 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Kay Home Products. (b) Operating income (loss) represents net sales less cost of products sold, selling, general and adminis- trative expenses, amortization of goodwill and restructuring and impairment charges. In 2001, the Company incurred restructuring and impairment charges of $28.5 million related primarily to the consolidation of manufacturing plants and logistics warehouses and the discontinuation of certain product lines. The write-down of inventory related to discontinued product lines to fair value aggregated $10.3 million and is included in cost of products sold. In 2002, the Company recorded further restructuring and asset impairment charges aggregating $19.2 million related to management decisions to exit additional product lines and consolidate additional facilities. The write-down of inventory related to the discontinued businesses and prod- uct lines to fair value aggregated $5.6 million and is included in cost of products sold. In 2003, the Company recorded non-cash charges aggregating $19.4 million for restructuring and asset impairment charges primarily related to restructuring at the Company’s Forge Group. The charges are composed of $.6 million for the impairment of inventory, which is included in cost of products sold, and $18.8 million for other restructuring and asset impairment charges. (c) In 2000, non-operating items, net was comprised of (i) a loss of $15.3 million on the sale of substantially all of the assets of Kay Home Products and (ii) a gain of $5.2 million resulting from interim payments from the Company’s insurance carrier related primarily to replacement of prop- erty, plant and equipment destroyed in a ﬁre at its Cicero Flexible Products facility. In 2001, non- operating items, net was comprised of $1.9 million of ﬁre-related non-recurring business interrup- tion costs, which were not covered by insurance. (d) In 2004, the Company issued $210 million of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. Proceeds from this debt were used to fund the tender and early redemption of the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. The Company incurred debt extinguishment costs and wrote off deferred ﬁnancing costs associated with the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $6.0 million. (e) No dividends were paid during the ﬁve years ended December 31, 2004. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our consolidated ﬁnancial statements 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, primarily due to debt extinguishment costs and writeoff of deferred ﬁnancing costs associated with the tender and early redemption during 2004 of our 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007, restructuring and unusual charges in 2002 and 2003, a goodwill impairment charge in 2002 to reﬂect the cumulative effect of an accounting change, and acquisitions and divestitures during the three years ended December 31, 2004. 11 Executive Overview We are an industrial supply chain logistics and diversiﬁed manufacturing business, operating in three segments: ILS, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. ILS provides customers with integrated supply chain management services for a broad range of high-volume, specialty production components. ILS customers receive various value-added services, such as engineering and design services, part usage and cost analysis, supplier selection, quality assurance, bar coding, product packag- ing and tracking, just-in-time and point-of use delivery, electronic billing and ongoing technical support. The principal customers of ILS are in the heavy-duty truck, electrical controls, automotive and other vehicle, industrial equipment, power sports equipment, lawn and garden equipment, and semiconductor equipment industries. Aluminum Products casts and machines aluminum engine, transmission, brake, suspension and other components for automotive, agricultural equipment, construction equipment and heavy-duty truck OEMs, primarily on a sole-source basis. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of highly-engineered products including induction heating and melting systems, pipe threading systems, industrial oven systems, rubber products, and forged and machined products. Manufactured Products also produces and provides services and spare parts for the equipment it manufactures. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs and end-users in the steel, automotive, oil and gas, rail, and aerospace and defense industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant ﬁnancial data for these three segments are provided in Note M to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. During 2004, we experienced the increased sales and proﬁtability previously forecast, as the manufacturing economy returned to growth, particularly in three of our customer industries: heavy-duty truck; semiconductor equipment; and equipment for steel manufacturing. Net sales increased 30% compared to 2003. Proﬁtability increased more than proportionally to sales, based on cost reductions from our restructuring during the downturn in 2001, 2002 and 2003. During those years, we consolidated 28 supply chain logistics facilities, and closed or sold 11 manufacturing plants. During 2004, we reinforced our long-term availability and attractive pricing of funds by reﬁnancing both of our major sources of borrowed funds: senior subordinated notes and our revolving credit agreement. In November 2004, we sold $210.0 million of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014. We used the net proceeds to fund the tender and early redemption of $199.9 million of our 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. We incurred debt extinguishment costs primarily related to premiums and other transaction costs associated with the tender and early redemption and wrote off deferred ﬁnanc- ing costs totaling $6.0 million associated with the repurchased senior subordinated notes. In December 2004, we amended our revolving credit agreement, extending its maturity to six years so that it now expires in December 2010, increasing the credit limit so that we may borrow up to $200.0 million subject to an asset based formula, and providing lower interest rate levels. Borrowings under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. We had approximately $53.9 mil- lion of unused borrowing availability at December 31, 2004. Funds provided by operations plus available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are expected to be adequate to meet our cash requirements. We acquired substantially all of the assets of the Amcast Components Group on August 23, 2004 for $10.0 million cash and the assumption of approximately $9.0 million of operating liabilities. We sold substantially all the assets of St. Louis Screw and Green Bearing in ﬁrst quarter 2003, for cash totaling approximately $7.3 million, and Castle Rubber Company in second quarter 2002, for cash of approxi- mately $2.5 million. We purchased substantially all the assets of Ajax Magnethermic Corp. in third quarter 2002, for cash of approximately $5.5 million. Accounting Changes and Goodwill On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’’ (‘‘FAS 142’’). Under FAS 142, we reviewed goodwill and other intangible 12 assets and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $48.8 million, which was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle effective January 1, 2002. Circumstances which led to this goodwill impairment included reduced sales, proﬁtability and growth rates of the units with goodwill (see Note C to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements), and reduced transaction prices for comparable businesses, which were themselves results of the downturn in the economy. The effects of these circumstances on our operations, ﬁnancial condition and liquidity are reﬂected in 2002 and 2003 results. The goodwill impairment itself did not have any effect on operations. Under FAS 142, goodwill was not amortized, starting in 2002. In accordance with FAS 142, goodwill is now reviewed annually for potential impairment. This review was performed as of October 1, 2004, 2003 and 2002, using forecasted discounted cash ﬂows, and it was determined that no further impairment is required. At December 31, 2004, the balance sheet reﬂected $82.6 million of goodwill in the ILS and Alumi- num Products segments. In 2004, discount rates used ranged from 10.25% to 12.25%, and long-term revenue growth rates used ranged from 3.5% to 4.0%. In 2003, we changed our method of accounting for the 15% of inventories utilizing the LIFO method to the FIFO method. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company restated its balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 and increased inventories by the recorded LIFO reserve ($4.4 million), increased deferred tax liabilities ($1.7 million), and increased shareholders’ equity ($2.7 million). Previously reported results of operations were not restated because the impact of utilizing the LIFO method had an insigniﬁcant impact on the Company’s reported amounts for consoli- dated net income (loss).

Results of Operations 2004 versus 2003 Net Sales by Segment: ILS*************************************************** $453.2 Aluminum Products ************************************ 135.4 Manufactured Products********************************* 220.1 $377.6 90.1 156.6 Year Ended December 31, 2003 2004 Change $ 75.6 45.3 63.5 Consolidated net sales ********************************* $808.7 $624.3 $184.4 Percent Change Acquired/ (Divested) Sales 20% 50% 41% 30% $(1.0) 30.4 15.9 $45.3 Net sales increased by 30% in 2004, compared to 2003. ILS sales increased due to general economic growth, in particular due to signiﬁcant growth in the heavy-duty truck and semiconductor industries, the addition of new customers, and increases in product range to existing customers. ILS growth was partially offset by a $1.0 million sales decrease related to the 2003 sale of Green Bearing. Aluminum Products 2004 sales increased $30.4 million due to the Amcast Components Group acquisition in August 2004, with additional growth from new contracts and increased volumes in the existing business. Manufactured Products sales increased primarily in the induction equipment, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses. Of this increase, $15.9 million was due to the second quarter 2004 acquisition of the remaining 66% of the common stock of Jamco, partially offset by the divestiture of St. Louis Screw in the ﬁrst quarter of 2003. 13 Cost of Products Sold & Gross Proﬁt: Consolidated cost of products sold ************************** Consolidated gross proﬁt*********************************** Gross margin ********************************************* $682.6 $126.1 $527.6 $ 96.7 15.6% 15.5% Year Ended December 31, 2003 2004 Change $155.0 $ 29.4 Percent Change 29% 30% Cost of products sold increased 29% in 2004 compared to 2003, while gross margin increased to 15.6% from 15.5% in 2003. ILS gross margin decreased modestly, primarily due to steel price increases and mix changes, and the negative impact of $1.1 million resulting from the bankruptcy of a signiﬁcant customer, Murray, Inc. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased due to a combination of the addition of lower-margin Amcast business, product mix and pricing changes, and speciﬁc one-time costs incurred in 2004 for product startup, scrap and reserves. The $30.4 million of sales from the acquired Amcast business generated signiﬁcantly lower margins than the existing Aluminum Products business. We expect margins at the acquired plants to increase over time, as a result of post-acquisition cost reductions, price increases and new business. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased, primarily as a result of increased sales and overhead efﬁciencies achieved in the induction equipment, pipe threading equipment and forging businesses. Gross margins in both the Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products segments were negatively impacted by rising natural gas costs. Selling, General & Administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) Expenses: Consolidated SG&A expenses********************************* SG&A as a percent of sales ********************************** Year Ended December 31, 2003 2004 Change Percent Change $77.0 $62.7 $14.3 23% 9.5% 10.0% Consolidated SG&A expenses increased by 23% in 2004 compared to 2003. Approximately $5.5 mil- lion of the SG&A increase was due to acquisitions, primarily Jamco and Amcast Components Group, and compliance costs associated with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, while the remainder was primarily due to increased sales and production volumes. Despite this increase, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales decreased by 50 basis points due both to cost reductions from restructuring and to the absorption of these expenses over increased sales. SG&A expenses were reduced in 2004 compared to 2003 by a $2.3 million increase in net pension credits reﬂecting improved returns on pension plan assets. Interest Expense: Interest expense ********************************* Debt extinguishment costs included in interest expense*************************************** Average outstanding borrowings ******************* Average borrowing rate *************************** Year Ended December 31, 2003 2004 Change Percent Change $ 31.4 $ 26.2 $5.2 20% $ 6.0 $328.9 7.74% $320.8 $8.1 8.15% (41) basis points 3% Interest expense increased in 2004 compared to 2003, primarily due to the fourth quarter 2004 debt extinguishment costs. These costs primarily related to premiums and other transaction costs associated with the tender and early redemption and writeoff of deferred ﬁnancing costs associated with the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes. Excluding these costs, interest decreased due to lower average interest rates in 2004, partially offset by higher average outstanding borrowings. The lower average 14 borrowing rate in 2004 was due primarily to decreased rates on our revolving credit agreement. The increase in average borrowings in 2004 resulted primarily from higher working capital requirements. Income Tax: The effective income tax rate for 2004 was 19%. Primarily foreign and certain state income taxes were provided for in both years, because federal income taxes were not owed due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided. At December 31, 2004, our subsidiaries had $47.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. We have not recognized any tax beneﬁt for these loss carryforwards. In accordance with the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (‘‘FAS 109’’), ‘‘Accounting for Income Taxes,’’ we recorded no tax beneﬁt for the 2003 net loss because we had incurred three years of cumulative losses. Income taxes of $.9 million were provided in 2003, primarily for state and foreign taxes on proﬁtable operations. 2003 versus 2002 Net Sales by Segment: ILS ****************************************************** Aluminum products *************************************** Manufactured products ************************************ Consolidated net sales ************************************* Year Ended December 31, 2002 2003 $377.6 90.1 156.6 $398.1 106.1 130.2 Change $(20.5) (16.0) 26.4 $624.3 $634.4 $(10.1) Percent Change –5% –15% 20% –2% Net sales declined by 2% in 2003. $10.4 million of the ILS sales decline related to the sale of Green Bearing and the termination of a high-margin pharmaceutical sales contract, while the remainder reﬂected general economic weakness. Aluminum Products net sales were lower primarily due to the ending of $10.0 million of sales contracts, the majority of which relate to the closure of the Tupelo and Hudson plants. Manufactured Products net sales increased $26.4 million primarily in the induction business. The acquisition of Ajax Magnethermic increased 2003 net sales by $29.6 million and the divestiture of Castle Rubber and St. Louis Screw decreased 2003 net sales by $6.8 million. Cost of Products Sold & Gross Proﬁt: Consolidated cost of products sold ***************** Inventory writedowns from restructuring included in Cost of Products Sold *************************** Net gross proﬁt impact of acquisition & divestitures ** Consolidated gross proﬁt ************************** Gross margin ************************************ Year Ended December 31, 2002 2003 Change Percent $527.6 $546.9 $(19.3) –4% 0.6 (4.4) $ 96.7 5.6 $ 87.6 15.5% 13.8% (5.0) (4.4) $ 9.1 10% Cost of products sold declined 4% in 2003, and gross proﬁt increased 10%, while gross margin increased to 15.5% in 2003, from 13.8% in 2002. ILS gross margin decreased primarily due to reduced absorption of ﬁxed overhead over a smaller sales base and the positive effect on 2002 of the early termination of a high-margin pharmaceutical sales contract, partially offset by lower inventory costs, facility costs and other cost reductions. Aluminum Products gross margin increased signiﬁcantly, primarily as a result of restructuring and cost reductions and higher margins on new contracts. Gross 15 margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased, primarily as a result of increased sales and overhead efﬁciencies achieved in the induction business. SG&A Expenses: Consolidated SG&A expenses*************** Net SG&A expense impact of acquisition & divestitures***************************** Year Ended December 31, 2002 2003 Change Percent Change 2003 SG&A Percent 2002 SG&A Percent $62.7 $57.8 $ 4.9 8% 10.0% 9.1% (3.9) (3.9) Consolidated SG&A expenses increased by 8% in 2003, while SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 10.0% for 2003 compared to 9.1% for 2002. This increase was due primarily to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures and the $2.6 million reduction of net pension credits reﬂecting less favorable returns on pension plan assets, partially offset by reductions in other SG&A costs in all three segments. Interest Expense: Year Ended December 31, 2002 2003 Change Percent Interest expense ********************************* Average outstanding borrowings ******************* Average borrowing rate *************************** $ 26.2 $320.8 8.15% $ 27.6 $333.6 $(1.4) $(12.8) 8.28% (13) basis points –5% –4% Interest expense decreased by 5% due to lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates during 2003. The decrease in average borrowings resulted primarily from the sale of two manufac- turing units and lower working capital requirements. The lower average borrowing rate in 2003 was due primarily to decreased rates on the Company’s new revolving credit agreement, beginning in August 2003. Income Tax: In accordance with the provision of FAS 109, the Company recorded no tax beneﬁt for the 2003 or 2002 net losses, because in both years it had incurred three years of cumulative losses. Income taxes of $.9 million were provided in 2003 and 2002, primarily for state and foreign taxes on proﬁtable opera- tions. At December 31, 2003, subsidiaries of the Company had $35.7 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes. The Company has not recognized any tax beneﬁt for these loss carryforwards. Liquidity and Sources of Capital Our liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. Our primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from existing bank credit arrangements and the sale of our senior subordinated notes. On July 30, 2003, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement with a group of banks. On November 5, 2003, this credit agreement was amended to provide a facility for our subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. On December 29, 2004, we amended this credit agreement to extend the maturity to six years, increase the credit line, provide lower interest rate brackets and modify certain covenants to provide greater ﬂexibility. Under the terms of the revolving credit agreement, as amended, we may borrow up to $200.0 million subject to an asset based formula. Borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. Borrowings from the revolving credit agreement will be used for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit agreement expires on December 31, 2010. 16 Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit agreement may be borrowed at the Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus 75 – 225 basis points or (ii) the bank’s prime lending rate. The LIBOR- based interest rate is dependent on the Company’s debt service coverage ratio, as deﬁned in the revolving credit agreement. Under the revolving credit agreement, a detailed borrowing base formula provides borrowing availability to the Company based on percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and ﬁxed assets. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $120.6 million outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, and approximately $53.9 million of unused borrowing availability. Current ﬁnancial resources (working capital and available bank borrowing arrangements) and anticipated funds from operations are expected to be adequate to meet cash requirements for the next twelve months and through 2010, when the revolving credit agreement matures. The future availability of bank borrowings under the revolving credit agreement is based on the Company’s ability to meet a debt service ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the ﬁnancial covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. A signiﬁcant component of the debt service ratio coverage calculation is EBITDA, as deﬁned. EBITDA, as deﬁned, reﬂects earnings before cumulative effect of accounting change, interest and income taxes, and excludes depreciation, amortization, certain non-cash charges and corporate-level expenses as deﬁned in the Company’s revolving credit agreement. EBITDA, as deﬁned, is not a measure of performance under generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash ﬂows from operating, investing and ﬁnancing activities and other income or cash ﬂow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of proﬁtability or liquidity. The Company presents EBITDA, as deﬁned, because management believes that this measure could be useful to investors as an indication of the Company’s satisfaction of its debt service coverage ratio covenant in its revolving credit agreement and because EBITDA, as deﬁned, is a measure used under the Company’s revolving credit agreement to determine whether the Company may incur additional debt under such facility. EBITDA as deﬁned herein may not be compara- ble to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles net income (loss) to EBITDA, as deﬁned: Net income (loss) ********** Add back: 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 $14,199 $(11,821) $(61,152) $(25,953) $ 518 Cumulative effect of accounting change ***** Income taxes (beneﬁt) **** Interest expense ********* Depreciation and amortization *********** -0- 3,400 31,413 -0- 904 26,151 48,799 897 27,623 -0- (11,400) 31,108 -0- 7,183 30,812 15,385 15,562 16,307 19,911 20,048 Restructuring and impairment charges **** Non-operating items ****** Miscellaneous *********** EBITDA, as deﬁned ******** -0- -0- 335 19,446 -0- 319 19,190 -0- 580 28,463 1,850 507 -0- 10,118 205 $64,732 $ 50,561 $ 52,244 $ 44,486 $68,884 At December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the debt service ratio covenant and the other covenants in the revolving credit agreement. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.97 at December 31, 2004 versus 2.29 at December 31, 2003. Working capital increased by $20.9 million to $169.8 million at December 31, 2004 from $148.9 million at December 31, 2003. Major components of working capital, including accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses, increased 17 substantially during 2004 due primarily to signiﬁcant revenue growth and the acquisition of Amcast Components Group and Jamco. During 2004, the Company provided $1.6 million from operating activities as compared to providing $13.3 million in 2003. The decrease of $11.7 million was primarily the result of the increase in working capital, net of the impact of acquisitions, of $18.9 million and the absence of non-cash restructuring charges ($18.6 million in 2003) offset by the increase in net income of $26.0 million. During 2004, the Company also invested $12.0 million in capital expenditures and $10.0 million in an acquisition, gener- ated $205.2 million from the issuance of the 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes and $18.0 million from its bank credit agreements and used $199.9 million to redeem the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes. These activities resulted in an increase in cash of $3.4 million for the year. During 2003, the Company provided $13.3 million from operating activities as compared to provid- ing $28.6 million in 2002. The decrease of $15.3 million was primarily the result of a reduction in the net loss of $49.3 million adjusted for non-cash items equaling $34.2 million in 2003 as compared to $77.5 mil- lion of similar non-cash items in 2002. The non-cash items include cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, depreciation and amortization expense, restructuring and impairment charges and deferred income taxes. Net cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by the reduction in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During 2003, the Company also invested $10.9 million in capital expenditures, used $14.9 million to pay down debt, and generated $7.3 million from the divestiture of two manufacturing units. These activities resulted in a decrease in cash of $5.1 million for the year. During 2002, the Company provided $28.6 million from operating activities as compared to provid- ing $23.8 million in 2001. The increase of $4.8 million was primarily the result of an increase in the net loss of $35.2 million adjusted for non-cash items of $77.5 million in 2002 as compared to $29.8 million in 2001, which was the result of the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $48.8 in 2002. Net cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by the reduction in the increase in accounts receivable and inventory in 2002 compared to 2001. During 2002, the Company also invested $14.7 mil- lion in capital expenditures, used $5.6 million to pay down debt, and consumed $3.3 million from the net of an acquisition and a divestiture. These activities resulted in an increase in cash of $5.0 million for the year. We do not have off-balance-sheet arrangements, ﬁnancing or other relationships with unconsoli- dated entities or other persons. We enter into forward contracts on foreign currencies, primarily the euro, purely for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in those currencies against the US dollar. At December 31, 2004, $.5 million of such hedge contracts were outstanding. We currently use no other derivative instruments.

Management has made their best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the ﬁnancial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. We do not believe that there is great likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assump- tions related to the accounting policies described below. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition: We recognize more than 93% of our revenue when title is transferred to unafﬁliated customers, typically upon shipment. Our remaining revenue, from long-term contracts, is recognized using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Selling prices are ﬁxed based on purchase orders or contractual arrangements. Our revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (‘‘SAB’’) No. 101, ‘‘Revenue Recognition.’’ Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable have been reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Allowances are developed by the individual operating units based on historical losses, adjusting for economic conditions. Our policy is to identify and reserve for speciﬁc collectibility concerns based on customers’ ﬁnancial condition and payment history. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Writeoffs of accounts receivable have historically been low. Allowance for Obsolete and Slow Moving Inventory: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value and have been reduced by an allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand with minimal sales activity, which is compared to estimated future usage and sales. Inventories identiﬁed by management as slow-moving or obsolete are reserved for based on estimated selling prices less disposal costs. Though we consider these allowances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in speciﬁc markets in which we operate could have a material effect on reserve allowances required. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed by management for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company decided to exit certain under-performing product lines and to close or consolidate certain operating facilities and, accordingly, recorded restructuring and impairment charges as discussed above and in Note P to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements included elsewhere herein. Restructuring: We recognize costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, ‘‘Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Beneﬁts and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs incurred in a Restructuring)’’ (‘‘EITF 94-3’’), and SAB No. 100, ‘‘Re- structuring and Impairment Charges’’ for charges prior to 2003. Detailed contemporaneous documenta- tion is maintained and updated on a quarterly basis to ensure that accruals are properly supported. If management determines that there is a change in the estimate, the accruals are adjusted to reﬂect the changes. In 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, ‘‘Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities’’ (‘‘FAS 146’’), which nulliﬁed EITF 94-3 and requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at the fair value only when the liability is incurred. FAS 146 has no effect on charges recorded for exit activities begun prior to 2002. Goodwill: We adopted FAS 142 as of January 1, 2002. Under FAS 142, we are required to review goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. 19 We completed the transitional impairment review of goodwill during the fourth quarter of 2002 and recorded a non-cash charge of $48.8 million. The charge has been reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We have also completed the annual impairment test as of October 1, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and have determined that no additional goodwill impairment existed as of those dates. Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities: We account 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 currently enacted tax rates. In determining these amounts, management determined the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, taking into consideration factors including historical operating results, expectations of future earnings and taxable income and the extended period of time over which the postretirement beneﬁts will be paid. At December 31, 2004, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $47.7 million, which will expire between 2021 and 2024. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 109, the tax beneﬁts related to these carryforwards have been fully reserved as of December 31, 2004 because the Company is in a three-year cumulative loss position. Pension and Other Postretirement Beneﬁt Plans: We and our subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory deﬁned beneﬁt or noncontributory deﬁned contribution plans and postre- tirement beneﬁt plans covering substantially all employees. The measurement of liabilities related to these plans is based on management’s assumptions related to future events, including interest rates, return on pension plan assets, rate of compensation increases and health care cost trends. Pension plan asset performance in the future will directly impact our net income. We have evaluated our pension and other postretirement beneﬁt assumptions, considering current trends in interest rates and market conditions and believe our assumptions are appropriate. Stock-Based Compensation: We have 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 our employee stock options equals the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Compensation expense resulting from ﬁxed awards of re- stricted shares is measured at the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period. An alternative method of accounting for stock-based compensation would be the fair value method deﬁned by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compen- sation’’ (‘‘FAS 123’’). FAS 123 permits use of the intrinsic value method and does not require companies to account for employee stock options using the fair value method. Had compensation cost for stock options granted been determined based on the fair value method of FAS 123, our net income (loss) and diluted income (loss) per share would have been (decreased) increased by ($.3) million (($.03) per share) in 2004, $.3 million ($.03 per share) in 2003, and $.4 million ($.04 per share) in 2002. In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’ (‘‘FAS 123R’’). FAS 123R requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the ﬁnancial statements and establishes a fair-value measure- ment objective in determining the value of such a cost. FAS 123R will be effective as of July 1, 2005. FAS 123R is a revision of FAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 123R on its consolidated ﬁnancial statements. Environmental We have been identiﬁed as a potentially responsible party at third-party sites under the Comprehen- sive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or comparable state laws that provide for strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability. We are partici- pating in the cost of certain clean-up efforts at several of these sites. However, our share of such costs 20 has not been material and based on available information, our management does not expect our exposure at any of these locations to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or ﬁnancial condition. We have been named as one of many defendants in a number of asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits. Our cost of defending such lawsuits has not been material to date and, based upon available information, our management does not expect our future costs for asbestos-related lawsuits to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or ﬁnancial condition. We caution, how- ever, that inherent in management’s estimates of our exposure are expected trends in claims severity, frequency and other factors that may materially vary as claims are ﬁled and settled or otherwise resolved. Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results Our results of operations are typically stronger in the ﬁrst six months than the last six months of each calendar year due to scheduled plant maintenance in the third quarter to coincide with customer plant shutdowns and due to holidays in the fourth quarter. The timing of orders placed by our customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ ﬁnished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general eco- nomic 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 our business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses, included in the Manufactured Products seg- ment, which typically ship a few large systems per year. Forward-Looking Statements This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain statements that are ‘‘forward-looking state- ments’’ within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. The words ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘estimates’’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions and competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; demand for our products and services; raw material availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; the ﬁnancial condition of our customers, including the impact of any bankruptcies; our ability to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into existing operations; changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inﬂation rates, interest rates, tax rates and adverse impacts to us, our suppliers and customers from acts of terrorism or hostilities; our ability to meet various covenants, including ﬁnancial covenants, con- tained in our revolving credit agreement and the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes; increasingly stringent domestic and foreign governmental regulations, including those affecting the environment; inherent uncertainties involved in assessing our potential liability for environmental remediation-related activities; the outcome of pending and future litigation and other claims; depen- dence on the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, which are highly cyclical; dependence on key management; and dependence on information systems. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward- looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a forward-looking statement herein should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. 21 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk We are exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. We are subject to interest rate risk on our ﬂoating rate revolving credit facility, which consisted of borrowings of $120.6 million at December 31, 2004. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During 2004, we recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $2.1 million related to net assets located outside the United States. This foreign currency translation adjustment resulted primarily from the weakening of the United States dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar, British pound and euro. Our foreign operations are also subject to other customary risks of operating in a global environment, such as unstable political situations, the effect of local laws and taxes, tariff increases and regulations and requirements for export licenses, the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions and transportation delays. Our largest exposures to commodity prices relate to steel and natural gas price increases, which have increased signiﬁcantly in 2004. We do not have any commodity swap agreements or hedge contracts for future increases in steel or natural gas prices. 22 Item 8.

As required by Rule 13a-15(c) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s management carried out an evalua- tion, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Ofﬁcer and Chief Financial Ofﬁcer, of the effectiveness of its internal control over ﬁnancial reporting as of the end of the last ﬁscal year. The framework on which such evaluation was based is contained in the report entitled ‘‘Internal Control — Integrated Framework’’ issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commis- sion (the ‘‘COSO Report’’). Based upon the evaluation described above under the framework contained in the COSO Report, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s internal control over ﬁnancial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004. Management has identiﬁed no material weakness in internal control over ﬁnancial reporting. Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting ﬁrm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. This attestation report is included at page 25 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. March 10, 2005 24 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholders Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. maintained effec- tive internal control over ﬁnancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over ﬁnancial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over ﬁnancial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over ﬁnancial report- ing based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over ﬁnancial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over ﬁnancial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effec- tiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over ﬁnancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of ﬁnancial reporting and the preparation of ﬁnancial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over ﬁnancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the mainte- nance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reﬂect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of ﬁnancial statements in accordance with generally accepted account- ing principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the com- pany’s assets that could have a material effect on the ﬁnancial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over ﬁnancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, management’s assessment that Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. maintained effective internal control over ﬁnancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over ﬁnancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Over- sight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. as of Decem- ber 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash ﬂows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualiﬁed opinion thereon. Cleveland, Ohio March 10, 2005 25 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Shareholders Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash ﬂows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These ﬁnancial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these ﬁnancial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Over- sight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the ﬁnancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the ﬁnancial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and signiﬁcant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall ﬁnancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the ﬁnancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated ﬁnancial position of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash ﬂows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note B to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, effective June 30, 2003, the Company changed its method of accounting for inventories at certain subsidiaries. As discussed in Note C to the consolidated ﬁnancial statements, in 2002 the Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Over- sight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over ﬁnancial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 10, 2005 expressed an unqualiﬁed opinion thereon.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 (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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assump- tions 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 ﬁrst-in, ﬁrst-out (FIFO) cost or market value (See Note B). Inventory reserves were $18,500 and $18,817 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Major Classes of Inventories In-process and ﬁnished goods **************************** Raw materials and supplies ****************************** $151,759 25,535 $121,154 27,921 $177,294 $149,075 December 31, 2004 2003 Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Major addi- tions and associated interest costs are capitalized and betterments are charged to accumulated depreci- ation; 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 ranging from 25-60 years for buildings, and 3-16 years for machinery and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in business conditions indicate that their full carrying value may not be recoverable (See Note P). Goodwill: As discussed in Note C, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (‘‘FAS 142’’), ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,’’ as of January 1, 2002. Under FAS 142, goodwill is no longer amortized but is subject to impairment testing at least annually on October 1. Prior to 2002, goodwill was amortized primarily over 40 years using the straight-line method. Pensions and Other Postretirement Beneﬁts: The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans, principally noncontributory deﬁned beneﬁt or noncontributory deﬁned contribution plans, cover- ing substantially all employees. In addition, the Company has two unfunded 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 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 continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan, as permitted under FAS 123 and ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 123’’ (‘‘FAS 148’’). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock 31 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued option plan since the exercise price of the stock options equals or exceeds the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant. However, the Company recognizes compensation expense resulting from ﬁxed awards of restricted shares, which is measured at the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period. Had compensation cost for stock options granted been determined based on the fair value method of FAS 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and diluted income (loss) per share would have been (decreased) increased by ($284) (($.03) per share) to $13,915 in 2004, $345 ($.03 per share) to ($12,166) in 2003 and $397 ($.04 per share) to ($61,549) in 2002. Fair value was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.5%, 3.85% and 3.85%; zero dividend yield; expected volatility of 52%, 49% and 49% and expected option lives of 6 years. 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. In determining these amounts, management determined the probability of realizing deferred tax assets, taking into consideration factors including historical operating results, expectations of future earnings and taxable income and the extended period of time over which the postretirement beneﬁts will be paid and accordingly records valuation allowances when necessary (See Note H). Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue, other than from long-term contracts, when title is transferred to the customer, typically upon shipment. Revenue from long-term contracts (less than 7% of consolidated revenue) is accounted for under the percentage of completion method, and recognized on the basis of the percentage each contract’s cost to date bears to the total estimated contract cost. Revenue earned on contracts in process in excess of billings is classiﬁed in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (‘‘SAB’’) No. 101, ‘‘Revenue Recognition.’’ Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are recorded at selling price which is ﬁxed based on a purchase order or contractual arrangement. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s policy is to identify and reserve for speciﬁc collectibility concerns based on customers’ ﬁnancial condition and payment history. Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company sells its products to customers in diversiﬁed indus- tries. 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. Write-offs of accounts receivable have historically been low. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had uncollateralized receivables with six customers in the automotive and heavy-duty truck industries, each with several locations, aggregating $44,522, which represented approximately 31% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable. During 2004, sales to these customers amounted to approximately $240,787, which represented approximately 30% of the Company’s net sales. Shipping and Handling Costs: All shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Environmental: The Company accrues environmental costs related to existing conditions result- ing from past or current operations and from which no current or future beneﬁt is discernible. Costs that 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 32 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued 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. Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for all subsidiaries outside the United States is the local currency. Financial statements for these subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and weighted-average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in shareholders’ equity. Impact of Other Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (‘‘FIN 46’’), ‘‘Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,’’ which clariﬁes the application of Accounting Research Bulletin (‘‘ARB’’) No. 51, ‘‘Consolidated Financial Statements,’’ relating to consolidation of certain entities. First, FIN 46 will require identiﬁcation of the Company’s participation in variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’), which are deﬁned as entities with a level of invested equity that is not sufﬁcient to fund future activities to permit them to operate on a stand alone basis, or whose equity holders lack certain characteristics of a controlling ﬁnancial interest. Then, for entities identiﬁed as VIEs, FIN 46 sets forth a model to evaluate potential consolidation based on an assessment of which party to the VIE, if any, bears a majority of the exposure to its expected losses, or stands to gain from a majority of its expected returns. FIN 46 also sets forth certain disclosures regarding interests in VIEs that are deemed signiﬁcant, even if consolidation is not required. The Company’s adoption of FIN 46 had no effect on its ﬁnancial position, results of operations and cash ﬂows. In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, ‘‘Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (‘‘FAS 149’’). FAS 149 amends and clariﬁes the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS 133, ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.’’ FAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modiﬁed after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company’s adoption of FAS 149 had no effect on its ﬁnancial position, results of operations and cash ﬂows. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, ‘‘Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (‘‘FAS 150’’). FAS 150 requires that certain ﬁnancial instruments, which under previous guidance were accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The ﬁnancial instruments affected include mandatorily redeemable stock, certain ﬁnancial instruments that require or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. FAS 150 is effective for all ﬁnancial instruments entered into or modiﬁed after May 31, 2003 and must be applied to the Company’s existing ﬁnancial instruments effective July 1, 2003, the beginning of the ﬁrst ﬁscal period after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted FAS 150 on June 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s ﬁnancial position, results of operations or cash ﬂows. In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the ‘‘Medicare Act’’) was enacted in the United States. The Medicare Act, among other things, expanded existing Medicare healthcare beneﬁts to include an outpatient prescription drug beneﬁt to Medicare eligible residents of the U.S. (‘‘Part D’’) beginning in 2006. Prescription drug coverage will be available to eligible individuals who voluntarily enroll under a Part D plan. As an alternative, employers may provide drug coverage at least ‘‘actuarially equivalent to standard coverage’’ and receive a tax-free federal subsidy equal to 28% of a portion of a Medicare beneﬁciary’s drug costs. However, if covered retirees enroll in a Part D plan, the employer would not receive the subsidy. The FASB has issued Staff Position (‘‘FSP’’) FAS No. 106-2, ‘‘Accounting and Disclosure Require- ments Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,’’ to 33 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued provide guidance on accounting for effects of this healthcare beneﬁt legislation. The FSP treats the effect of the employer subsidy on the accumulated postretirement beneﬁt obligation (‘‘APBO’’) as an actuarial gain. The effect of the subsidy would also be reﬂected in the estimate of service cost in measuring the cost of beneﬁts attributable to current service. The effects of plan amendments adopted subsequent to the adoption of the Medicare Act to qualify plans as actuarially equivalent would be treated as actuarial gains if the net effect of the amendments reduces the APBO. The net effect on the APBO of any plan amendments that (a) reduce beneﬁts under the plan and thus disqualify the beneﬁts as actuarially equivalent and (b) eliminate the subsidy would be accounted for as prior service cost. The Company has completed its assessment of the provisions of the Medicare Act on its postretire- ment healthcare plans. The effect of the Medicare Act is a reduction to the APBO of $2,350. The effect of the Medicare Act reduced the net periodic postretirement beneﬁt cost by $310 in 2004. On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), ‘‘Share-Based Payment’’, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, ‘‘Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation’’. SFAS No. 123(R) supercedes APB Opinion No. 25, ‘‘Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees’’, and amends SFAS No. 95, ‘‘Statement of Cash Flows’’. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. SFAS No. 123(R) must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005. Early adoption will be permitted in periods in which ﬁnancial statements have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods: (1) a ‘‘modiﬁed prospective’’ method in which compensation cost is recog- nized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share- based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date; or (2) a ‘‘modiﬁed retrospective’’ method that includes the requirements of the modiﬁed prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under SFAS No. 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures, either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) using the ‘‘modiﬁed prospective’’ method. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No. 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R)’s fair value method could have a signiﬁcant impact on the results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company’s overall ﬁnancial position. The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS No. 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net earnings and earnings per share earlier in this note. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the beneﬁts of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a ﬁnancing cash ﬂow, rather than as an operating cash ﬂow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash ﬂows and increase net ﬁnancing cash ﬂows in periods after adoption. While the Com- pany cannot estimate what those amounts will be in the future (because they depend on , among other things, when employees exercise stock options), the amount of operating cash ﬂows recognized in prior years were zero because the Company did not owe federal income taxes due to the recognition of net operating loss carryforwards for which valuation allowances had been provided. 34 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued In the fourth quarter of 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, ‘‘Inventory Costs’’ (‘‘FAS 151’’), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chap- ter 4. The amendments made by FAS No. 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) are to be recognized as current-period charges and will require the allocation of ﬁxed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during ﬁscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during ﬁscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company expects the adoption of FAS 151 to have little impact on its consolidated ﬁnancial position, results of operations, or cash ﬂows. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the ‘‘Jobs Act’’) was signed into law in October 2004. The Jobs Act provides, among other things, for a tax deduction on qualiﬁed domestic production activities and introduced a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer, provided certain criteria are met. The FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109- 1 to provide guidance on the application of FAS 109, and FASB Staff Position 109-2 to provide account- ing and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. The Company is reviewing the implication of the Jobs Act, recently released treasury guidance, and the FASB staff positions and does not expect the Jobs Act will have a material impact on the Company’s ﬁnancial position, results of operations or cash ﬂows. Reclassiﬁcation: Certain amounts in the prior years’ ﬁnancial statements have been reclassiﬁed to conform to the current year presentation. NOTE B — Accounting Change Effective June 30, 2003, the Company changed the method of accounting for the 15% of its inventories utilizing the LIFO method to the FIFO method. The Company believes that this change is preferable for the following reasons: 1) the change conforms all of its inventories to one method of determining cost, which is the FIFO method; 2) the costs of the Company’s inventories have remained fairly level during the past several years, which has substantially negated the beneﬁts of the LIFO method (a better matching of current costs with current revenue in periods of rising costs); 3) the impact of utilizing the LIFO method has had an insigniﬁcant impact on the Company’s consolidated net income (loss) during the past several years; and 4) the FIFO method results in the valuation of inventories at current costs on the consolidated balance sheet, which provides a more meaningful presentation for investors and ﬁnancial institutions. As required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the Company has restated the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002 to increase inventories by the recorded LIFO reserve $4,400, increase deferred tax liabilities ($1,700), and increase shareholders’ equity $2,700. Previously reported results of operations have not been restated because the impact of utilizing the LIFO method had an insigniﬁcant impact on the Company’s reported amounts for consolidated net income (loss). NOTE C — Adoption of FAS 142, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets’’ Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted FAS 142, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.’’ Under this standard, goodwill is no longer amortized, but is subject to an impairment test at least annually. The Company has selected October 1 as its annual testing date. In the year of adoption, FAS 142 also requires the Company to perform a transitional test to determine whether goodwill was impaired as of the beginning of the year. Under FAS 142, the initial step in testing for goodwill impairment is to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its book value. To the extent the fair 35 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued value of any reporting unit is less than its book value, which would indicate that potential impairment of goodwill exists, a second test is required to determine the amount of impairment. The Company, with assistance of an outside consultant, completed the transitional impairment review of goodwill using a discounted cash ﬂow approach to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. Based upon the results of these calculations, the Company recorded a non-cash charge for goodwill impairment which aggregated $48,799. In accordance with the provisions of FAS 142, the charge has been accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, effective January 1, 2002. The Company also completed the annual impairment tests as of October 1, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and has determined that no additional impairment of goodwill existed as of those dates. The following table summarizes the transitional goodwill impairment charge by reporting segment as well as the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2004.

NOTE D — Acquisitions On August 23, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Automotive Components Group (‘‘Amcast Components Group’’) of Amcast Industrial Corporation. The purchase price was approximately $10,000 in cash and the assumption of approximately $9,000 of operating liabilities. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The purchase price and the results of operations of Amcast Components Group prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed signiﬁcant as deﬁned in Regulation S-X. The results of operations for Amcast Components Group have been included since August 23, 2004. The tentative allocation of the purchase price has been performed based on the assignment of fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Final fair values will be based primarily on appraisals from an independent appraisal ﬁrm. 36 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, 2004 are approxi- mately $2,931 in 2005, $821 in 2006, $836 in 2007, $674 in 2008 and $689 in 2009. In November 2004, the Company issued $210,000 of 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due Novem- ber 15, 2014 (‘‘8.375% Notes’’). The net proceeds from this debt issuance were approximately $205,178 net of underwriting and other debt offering fees. Proceeds from the 8.375% Notes were used to fund the tender and early redemption of the Company’s 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2007. The Com- pany incurred debt extinguishment costs related primarily to premiums and other transaction costs associated with the tender and early redemption and wrote off deferred ﬁnancing costs associated with the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes totaling $5,963 or $.53 per share on a diluted basis. The Company is a party to a credit and security agreement dated November 5, 2003, as amended (‘‘Credit Agreement’’), with a group of banks, under which it may borrow or issue standby letters of credit or commercial letters of credit up to $200,000. During 2004, the Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity to December 31, 2010 and increase the credit line from $165,000 at December 31, 2003 to $200,000 at December 31, 2004. The amended credit agreement provides lower interest rate brackets and modiﬁed certain covenants to provide greater ﬂexibility. The Credit Agreement currently contains a detailed borrowing base formula that provides borrowing capacity to the Company based on negotiated percentages of eligible accounts receivable, inventory and ﬁxed assets. At December 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $53,941 of unused borrowing capacity available under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly at either the bank’s prime lending rate (5.25% at December 31, 2004) or, at the Company’s election, at LIBOR plus .75%-2.25%. The Company’s ability to elect LIBOR- based interest as well as the overall interest rate are dependent on the Company’s Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as deﬁned in the Credit Agreement. Up to $20,000 in standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit may be issued under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2004, in addition to amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement, there was $9,133 outstanding primarily for standby letters of credit. A fee of .25% is imposed by the bank on the unused portion of available borrowings. The Credit Agreement expires on December 31, 2010 and borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. A foreign subsidiary of the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of $1,485 at Decem- ber 31, 2004 under its credit arrangement. The 8.375% Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis, by all domestic subsidiaries of the Company. Provisions of the indenture governing the 8.375% Notes and the 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 or to merge or consolidate with an unafﬁliated entity. At December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all ﬁnancial covenants of the Credit Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on all debt was 6.84% at December 31, 2004. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under the credit agreement and the senior subordinated notes approximate fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003. 39 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.

Based on these factors, the Company derived an expected return on plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 of 8.75%. This assumption was supported by the asset return generation model used by the Company’s independent actuaries, which projected future asset returns using simulation and asset class correlation. 44 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP.

The workforce reductions under the restructuring plan consisted of hourly and salaried employees at various operating facilities due to either closure or consolidation. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had an accrued liability of $462 for future estimated employee severance and plant closing payments. Idle ﬁxed assets of $6,040 were included in other assets as of December 31, 2004. These consisted primarily of property, plant and equipment of two idled aluminum casting plants, for which the Com- pany is evaluating new products and technologies. These assets may either be reclassiﬁed to property, plant and equipment if placed in service, or sold. They are currently carried at estimated fair value. At December 31, 2004, the Company’s balance sheet reﬂected assets held for sale at their estimated current value of $3,027 for inventory, property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets. Net sales for the businesses that were included in net assets held for sale were $ -0- in 2004, $1,139 in 2003, and $19,159 in 2002. Operating income (loss), excluding restructuring and unusual charges for these entities were $ -0- in 2004, $(32) in 2003, and $(334) in 2002. 50 PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — Continued NOTE Q — Derivatives and Hedging The Company recognizes all derivative ﬁnancial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company has no derivative instruments that are classiﬁed as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are classiﬁed as cash ﬂow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged items are recognized in net income. During the second quarter of 2004, the Company entered into forward contracts, for the purpose of hedging exposure to changes in the value of accounts receivable in Euros against the US dollar, for a notional amount of $5,075, of which $500 was outstanding at December 31, 2004. These transactions are considered cash ﬂow hedges and, therefore, the fair market value at December 31, 2004 of a $75 loss, has been recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Because there is no ineffectiveness on the cash ﬂow hedges, all changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in equity and not included in the current period’s income statement. The $75 of loss on the fair value of the hedges is classiﬁed in current accrued liabilities. The Company recognized $169 of foreign currency losses upon settlement of the forward contracts. 51 Supplementary Financial Data Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) Quarter Ended 2004 March 31 Dec. 31 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Sept. 30 June 30 Net sales********************************** Gross proﬁt ******************************* Net income (loss) ************************** $192,370 30,237 5,814 $ $200,908 33,652 6,666 $ $200,875 31,326 3,991 $ $214,565 30,845 $ (2,272) Amounts per common share: Basic *********************************** Diluted ********************************* 2003 $ $ .55 .52 $ $ .63 .60 $ $ .38 .36 $ $ (.21) (.21) Quarter Ended March 31 Dec. 31 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Sept. 30 June 30 Net sales********************************** Gross proﬁt ******************************* Restructuring and impairment charges ******* Net income (loss) ************************** $154,850 24,410 -0- 2,436 $ $159,916 25,847 -0- 2,697 $ $146,830 21,752 -0- 88 $ $162,699 24,700 18,808 $ (17,042) Amounts per common share: Basic *********************************** Diluted ********************************* $ $ .23 .22 $ $ .26 .25 $ $ .01 .01 $ $ (1.62) (1.62) Note 1 — In the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company recorded primarily non-cash charges for restructuring and asset impairment primarily related to restructuring at the Company’s Forge Group.
