PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
March 31, 2004
(Amounts in Thousands except per share data)
NOTE A Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
NOTE B Acquisition and Dispositions
On April 1, 2004, the Company acquired the remaining 66% of the common stock of Japan Ajax Magnethermic Company (Jamco), a distributor of induction heating equipment. The purchase price and the results of operations of Jamco prior to its date of acquisition were not deemed significant as defined in Regulation S-X.
During the first quarter of 2003, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of Green Bearing (Green) and St. Louis Screw and Bolt (St. Louis Screw) for cash of approximately $7.3 million. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale. Green and St. Louis Screw were non-core businesses in the ILS Segment and Manufactured Products Segment, respectively, and had been identified as businesses the Company was selling as part of its restructuring activities during 2002 and 2001.
NOTE C Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 132R, Employers Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS No. 132R requires, among other things, additional disclosures about the components of pension expense for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company adopted this pronouncement as of December 31, 2003 and included the revised annual disclosure in its 2003 Form 10-K. See Note H to the consolidated financial statements in this report for the required interim disclosures.
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 beneficiarys drug costs. However, if covered retirees enroll in a Part D plan, the employer would not receive the subsidy.
The FASB has proposed Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 106-b, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, to provide guidance on accounting for effects of this healthcare benefit legislation. The FSP would treat the effect
8
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Continued
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 deferred accounting for the effects of the Medicare Act pending an assessment of the provisions of the Medicare Act on its postretirement healthcare plans; accordingly, the measures of APBO and expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2004 do not reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. The Company expects to reflect the effects of the Medicare Act on its plans by the fourth quarter.
NOTE D Inventories

NOTE G Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations using the intrinsic value method, which resulted in no compensation cost for options granted. Had compensation cost for stock options granted been determined based on the fair value method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Nos. 123 and 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

NOTE I Segments
The Company operates through three segments: Integrated Logistics Solutions (ILS), Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading supply chain logistics provider of production components to large, multinational manufacturing companies, other manufacturers and distributors. In connection with the supply of such production components, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective supply chain management services. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum components for automotive, agricultural equipment, heavy duty truck and construction equipment. Aluminum Products

NOTE K Restructuring Activities
The Company responded to the economic downturn by reducing costs in a variety of ways, including restructuring businesses and selling non-core manufacturing assets. These activities, which included asset write-downs and other exit costs related to the shutdown of facilities, generated restructuring and asset impairment charges of $19.4 million, $19.2 million and $28.5 million in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively (of which $1.0 million in 2003, $5.6 million (490 employees) in 2002 and $6.9 million (525 employees) in 2001 related to severance and exit costs). For further details on the restructuring plan, see Note P to the audited financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The accrued liability balance for severance and exit costs and related cash payments consisted of:

As of March 31, 2004, all of the 525 employees identified in 2001 and 490 employees identified in 2002 had been terminated. The workforce reductions under the restructuring plan consisted of hourly and salaried employees at various operating facilities due to either closure or consolidation.
Net sales for the businesses that were included in net assets held for sale were $-0- and $1,139 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating income (loss) for these entities was $-0- and $(32) for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE L Accrued Warranty Costs
The Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold products that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance. The following table presents the changes in the Companys product warranty liability:

NOTE M Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was 9%, compared to 5% for the corresponding period in 2003. Only foreign and state income taxes were provided for in both periods, because federal income taxes were offset by net operating loss carryforwards that were not recognized previously. At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $35.7 million. Tax benefits related to these carryforwards were fully reserved in 2002, because the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and the consolidated statement of shareholders equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based upon our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated March 9, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph for a change in accounting for goodwill and certain inventories. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial information for the three-months ended March 31, 2004 is not directly comparable to the financial information for the same period in 2003 primarily due to the divestitures of Green Bearing and St. Louis Screw and Bolt in first quarter 2003.
Executive Overview
The Company operates through three segments, ILS, Aluminum Products and Manufactured Products. ILS is a leading supply chain logistics provider of production components to large, multinational manufacturers. In connection with the supply of such production components, ILS provides a variety of value-added, cost-effective supply chain management services. The principal customers of ILS are in the heavy-duty truck, semiconductor equipment, industrial equipment, aerospace and defense, electrical controls, HVAC, vehicle parts and accessories, appliances, and lawn and garden equipment industries. Aluminum Products manufactures cast aluminum components primarily for automotive manufacturers. Aluminum Products also provides value-added services such as design and engineering, machining and assembly. Manufactured Products operates a diverse group of niche manufacturing businesses that design and manufacture a broad range of high quality products engineered for specific customer applications. The principal customers of Manufactured Products are OEMs and end-users in the aerospace, automotive, steel, forging, railroad, truck, oil, food processing and consumer appliance industries. Sales, earnings and other relevant financial data for these three segments are provided in Note I to the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.
The Company is beginning to experience the increased sales and profitability it previously forecast for 2004 and beyond, as the manufacturing economy stabilizes and returns to growth, particularly in two of the Companys customer segments, heavy-duty truck and semiconductor equipment. Net sales increased 24% in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter of 2003. Net income increased 139% in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter of 2003.
The Companys sales grew strongly from 1993 through 2000, through both internal growth and acquisitions. Starting in the second half of 2000, both sales and profitability declined due to overall weakness in the manufacturing economy, and particularly to contraction in the heavy-duty truck industry. Despite these sales declines, the Company retained or gained market share in most major markets served. The Companys sales stabilized in 2002 and 2003, declining slightly due primarily to divestitures, and losses (including restructuring and impairment charges) began to diminish.
The Company responded to the economic downturn by reducing costs, increasing prices on targeted products, restructuring many of its businesses and selling non-core manufacturing assets. Since 2000, the Company has consolidated 28 supply chain logistics facilities, and closed or sold 11 manufacturing plants. In regard to these actions, the Company recorded restructuring and impairment charges in 2001, 2002 and 2003. For more information on these charges, see Note K to the consolidated financial statements, included elsewhere herein.
The Companys primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and funds available from an existing bank revolving credit arrangement and Senior Subordinated Notes. The Company may borrow up to $165.0 million under its revolving credit agreement, expiring July 30, 2007, subject to an asset based formula. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company has paid down its revolving credit borrowings by $49.6 million, from a high of $154.0 million at June 30, 2001 to $104.4 million at March 31, 2004. At March 31, 2004 the Company had approximately $52.0 million of unused borrowing availability from the revolving credit agreement. The Companys $199.9 million of outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes mature in December, 2007. Funds provided by operations plus available borrowings under the revolving credit agreement are expected to be adequate to meet the Companys cash requirements until 2007, by which time management expects to have entered into replacement financing agreements.

The Company sold substantially all the assets of St. Louis Screw and Bolt on January 29, 2003 and Green Bearing on February 21, 2003 for cash totaling approximately $7.3 million.

Net sales increased 24% for the first three months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. ILS sales increased due to general economic growth, and in particular to significant growth in the heavy-duty truck and semiconductor industries. The divestiture of Green Bearing reduced ILS sales by $1.0 million in first quarter 2004. Aluminum Products sales increased primarily due to volume increases in the automotive industry, combined with extension of specific products to an additional engine platform. Manufactured Products sales increased in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the same quarter of 2003, primarily in the induction business offset by a reduction in sales of $.1 million due to the divestiture of St Louis Screw and Bolt.

Cost of products sold increased 24% for the first three months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, while gross margin decreased to 15.7% from 15.8%. ILS gross margin increased, primarily due to lower inventory costs, facility costs and other cost reductions, and by the absorption of fixed overhead over a larger sales base. Aluminum Products gross margin decreased due to a combination of product mix and pricing changes and specific one-time costs incurred in the first quarter for scrap and reserves. Gross margin in the Manufactured Products segment increased, primarily as a result of increased sales and overhead efficiencies achieved in the induction business, and the absorption of fixed overhead over a larger sales base.

SG&A expenses as a percent of sales declined by .5% due both to cost reductions from restructuring and to the absorption of these expenses over a larger sales base. SG&A expenses were reduced in the first three months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 by a $.5 million increase in net pension credits reflecting improved returns on pension plan assets.

Interest expense decreased 10% for the first three months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, due to reductions in both borrowings and the interest rate on the Companys new revolving credit facility, which became effective in August 2003.
Income Tax: |
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was 9%, compared to 5% for the corresponding period in 2003. Only 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, 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 |
The Companys liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. The Companys primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from bank credit arrangements and Senior Subordinated Notes. On July 30, 2003, the Company entered into a new, four-year revolving credit agreement with a group of banks under which it may borrow up to $165.0 million subject to an asset based formula. The credit agreement is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. On November 5, 2003, this credit agreement was amended to provide a facility for the Companys subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom. Borrowings from this credit agreement, as amended (Credit Agreement), which expires on July 30, 2007, will be used for general corporate purposes.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement may be borrowed at the Companys election at either (i) LIBOR plus 175 250 basis points or (ii) the banks prime lending rate. The LIBOR-based interest rate is dependent on the Companys Debt Service Coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Under the 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 March 31, 2004, the Company had $104.4 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and approximately $52.0 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 current cash requirements. The future availability of bank borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on the Companys ability to meet a Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant, which could be materially impacted by negative economic trends. Failure to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant could materially impact the availability and interest rate of future borrowings. At March 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the Credit Agreements Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant.
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.16 at March 31, 2004 versus 2.29 at December 31, 2003. Working capital increased by $8.9 million to $157.8 million at March 31, 2004 from $148.9 million at December 31, 2003.
During first quarter 2004, the Company used $3.3 million from operating activities as compared to using $.8 million in the same quarter of 2003 due primarily to the change in working capital accounts. During first

The Company does not have off-balance-sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as special purpose entities. The Company currently uses no derivative instruments.
Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results
The Companys results of operations are typically stronger in the first six months compared to 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 the Companys customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the Companys business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

The Companys foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $.8 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 and the 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.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of March 31, 2004, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2004, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
