     Applica Incorporated today announced that the New York Stock Exchange has notified the Company that it has accepted Applica’s proposed plan for continued listing on the NYSE.

     As a result of the acceptance, Applica’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE pending quarterly reviews by the NYSE’s Listing and Compliance Committee to ensure progress against the plan.

     Failure to achieve the plan’s financial or operational goals could result in Applica being subject to NYSE trading suspension and delisting. If Applica is unable to gain compliance with the new standards, Applica will seek listing on another exchange.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

     (c) Exhibits. On November 22, 2005, Applica issued a press release announcing that the NYSE had accepted Applica’s proposed plan for continued listing on the NYSE. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99 to this report.
