PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 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 Company’s 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”), for cash existing on the balance sheet of Jamco at that date. No additional purchase price was paid by the Company. 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 in the aggregate. No gains or losses were recorded on the sales. 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 beneficiary’s 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. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,” to

8


 

PARK-OHIO HOLDINGS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — Continued

provide guidance on accounting for effects of this healthcare benefit legislation. The FSP would treat 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 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-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 do not reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. The Company expects to reflect the effects of the Medicare Act on its plans in the third quarter.

NOTE D — Inventories

      The components of inventory consist of the following:

NOTE E — Shareholders’ Equity

      At June 30, 2004, capital stock consists of (i) Serial Preferred Stock, of which 632,470 shares were authorized and none were issued, and (ii) Common Stock, of which 40,000,000 shares were authorized and 11,348,195 shares were issued, of which 10,622,519 were outstanding and 725,676 were treasury shares.

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:

      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-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 do no reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. The Company expects to reflect the effects of the Medicare Act on its plans in the third quarter.

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 Company’s 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:

  $ 6,883  
Cash payments
    (2,731 )

      As of June 30, 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 $7,129 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Operating income for these entities was $-0- and $23 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE M — Income Taxes

      The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was 12%, compared to 16% 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 due to valuation allowances. At December 31, 2003, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $35.7 million. Tax benefits related to these carryforwards were fully offset by valuation allowances in 2002, because the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position.

NOTE N — 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 $5.1 million, of which $4.5 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004. These transactions are considered cash flow hedges and, therefore, the fair market value at the end of the second quarter 2004 of a $.2 million 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 $.2 million of loss on the fair value of the hedges is classified in current accrued liabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Park-Ohio Holdings Corp.

      We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

      We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

      We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. 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. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

      The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Financial information for the three-months and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 is not directly comparable to the financial information for the same periods in 2003 primarily due to the divestitures of Green Bearing and St. Louis Screw and Bolt in first quarter 2003, and the second quarter 2004 acquisition of the remaining 66% of the common stock of Japan Ajax Magnethermic Company (“Jamco”).

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 continues to experience the increased sales and profitability it previously forecast for 2004 as the manufacturing economy returns to growth, particularly in two of the Company’s customer segments, heavy-duty truck and semiconductor equipment. Net sales increased 25% in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Net income increased 145% in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003.

      The Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and funds available from an existing bank revolving credit arrangement. 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. At June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $44.6 million of unused borrowing availability from the revolving credit agreement. The Company’s $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 Company’s cash requirements until 2007.

      The Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of St. Louis Screw and Bolt (“St. Louis Screw”) and Green Bearing (“Green”) for cash totaling approximately $7.3 million in the aggregate. The Company acquired the remaining 66% of the common stock of Japan Ajax Magnethermic Company (“Jamco”) on April 1, 2004 for cash existing on the balance sheet of Jamco at that date. No additional purchase price was paid by the Company.

      Net sales increased 25% for the first six 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 reduced ILS sales by $1.0 million in the first six months of 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 $28.4 million in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003, primarily in the induction business. Of this increase, $1.2 million was due to the net effect of 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.

      Cost of products sold increased 25% for the first six months of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, while gross margin increased to 16.2% from 16.0%. ILS gross margin increased modestly, primarily due to cost reductions from restructuring and 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 half for product startup, 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 were reduced in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 by a $1.2 million increase in net pension credits reflecting improved returns on pension plan assets.

      The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was 12%, compared to 16% for the corresponding period in 2003.

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.

      The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 was 13%, compared to 24% for the corresponding period in 2003.

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 Company’s liquidity needs are primarily for working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by operations and funds available from bank credit arrangements. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s election at either (i) LIBOR plus 175-250 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 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 June 30, 2004, the Company had $112.7 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, and approximately $44.6 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 Company’s 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 June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenant and other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.

      The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.14 at June 30, 2004 versus 2.29 at December 31, 2003. Working capital increased by $24.8 million to $173.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $148.9 million at December 31, 2003.

      During the first six months of 2004, the Company used $7.8 million from operating activities as compared to using $.7 million in the same period of 2003 due primarily to the change in working capital accounts offset by the increase in net income. During the first six months of 2004, the Company invested $5.5 million in capital expenditures. These activities, less a net increase in borrowings of $12.2 million and $.1 million from the exercise of stock options, resulted in a decrease in cash of $1.0 million in the first six months of 2004.

      The Company does not have off-balance-sheet arrangements, financing or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons. The Company enters 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. The Company currently uses no other derivative instruments. At June 30, 2004, $4.5 million of such hedge contracts were outstanding.

Seasonality; Variability of Operating Results

      The Company’s 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 Company’s customers has varied with, among other factors, orders for customers’ finished goods, customer production schedules, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. The variability of the level and timing of orders has, from time to time, resulted in significant periodic and quarterly fluctuations in the operations of the Company’s business units. Such variability is particularly evident at the capital equipment businesses included in the Manufactured Products segment, which typically ship a few large systems per year.

Forward-Looking Statements

      This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Certain statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking statements, including without limitation, credit availability, levels and funding of capital expenditures and trends for the remainder of 2004. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other factors include such things as: general business conditions, competitive factors, including pricing pressures and product innovation; raw material availability and pricing; changes in our relationships with customers and suppliers; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into its existing operations; changes in general domestic economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, foreign currency exchange 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, contained in the 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; dependence on the automotive and heavy truck industries; 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.

Review By Independent Accountants

      The consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2004, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, have been reviewed, prior to filing, by Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accountants, and their report is included herein.

 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

      The Company is exposed to market risk including changes in interest rates. The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its floating rate revolving credit facility, which consisted of borrowings of $112.7 million at June 30, 2004. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rate would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

      The Company’s foreign subsidiaries generally conduct business in local currencies. During the first half of 2004, the Company recorded a favorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $.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 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 June 30, 2004, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first half of 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
