PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT

Item 2. Identity and Background of Filing Person.

The first paragraph of Item 2(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(b) This Statement relates to the tender offer by Apex Acquisition Corporation, or NACCO Sub, which is a newly formed Florida corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc., or NACCO, which is a Delaware corporation, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Applica’s common stock at a purchase price of $7.90 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. The tender offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and the exhibits thereto filed by NACCO and NACCO Sub with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2006, as amended by NACCO and NACCO Sub on December 18, 2006, December 21, 2006, December 26, 2006 January 3, 2007, and January 9, 2007. The value of the consideration offered, together with all of the terms and conditions applicable to the tender offer, is referred to in this Statement as the NACCO offer. The Schedule TO states that NACCO intends, as soon as practicable after successful completion of the NACCO offer, to seek to have NACCO Sub merge with and into Applica in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the FBCA.”

Item 3. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.

The first paragraph under the subheading “Cash Consideration Payable Pursuant to the NACCO Offer” in Item 3(a) is hereby amended as follows:

The amount “$21,343,383.75” in the last line of such paragraph is replaced with the amount “$21,756,481.50”.

The third paragraph under the subheading “Cash Consideration Payable Pursuant to the NACCO Offer” in Item 3(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“As of November 27, 2006, Applica’s directors and executive officers held options to purchase 842,500 shares of Applica’s common stock, 623,667 of which were vested and exercisable as of that date. The outstanding options have exercise prices ranging from $2.86 to $31.6875 and an aggregate weighted average exercise price of $5.08 per share. Of the total options outstanding as of November 27, 2006, options to purchase 772,000 shares of Applica’s common stock had exercise prices that were less than NACCO’s $7.90 offer price, 549,667 of which were vested and exercisable as of November 27, 2006. The weighted average exercise price of these “in the money” options was $4.32. All of the unvested options would fully vest upon the consummation of the NACCO offer pursuant to the terms of Applica’s 1988 Directors Stock Option Plan, 1992 Employees’ Incentive Stock Option Plan, 1996 Stock Option Plan, the 1998 Stock Option Plan and the 2000 Stock Option Plan.”

Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation.

Item 4(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Applica board has not changed its recommendation that Applica shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 19, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of December 14, 2006, Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of December 22, 2006, Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated as of December 27, 2006, and by Amendment No. 4 thereto, dated as of January 3, 2007, among Applica and certain affiliates of Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., which are collectively referred to in this statement as Harbinger.

The NACCO offer is under review by the Applica board and Applica will advise its shareholders of the results of that review as soon as possible. Applica requests that its shareholders defer making a determination whether to accept or reject such amended NACCO offer until they have been advised of the Applica board’s position.

The Applica board recommends that, even if a shareholder does not vote with respect to the Harbinger merger agreement at this time, that such shareholder vote “FOR” the proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting of Applica’s shareholders, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient shares present or represented at the meeting to constitute a quorum or insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt the Harbinger merger agreement or because the board, in its judgment, determines that an adjournment is required by law or is otherwise in the best interests of Applica and its shareholders. The ability to adjourn or postpone the special meeting will give the Applica board the flexibility to preserve the existing transaction with Harbinger should the vote not be obtained by January 17, 2007.”

Item 4(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following paragraphs as the final paragraphs thereto:

“On January 9, 2007, NACCO publicly announced that it had increased the per share offer price of the NACCO offer to $7.90, net to the seller in cash, without interest, and amended the Schedule TO accordingly. In accordance with the terms of the Harbinger merger agreement, Applica promptly notified Harbinger on January 9, 2007 of NACCO’s amended offer price.

On January 9, 2007, the Applica board held a meeting and discussed the offers from NACCO and Harbinger and its obligations under the Harbinger merger agreement. The meeting was attended by Applica’s senior management and legal and financial advisors, as well as a representative of the Applica board’s independent legal counsel. At the meeting, the Applica board also discussed with the legal advisors the provisions of the Harbinger merger agreement relating to competing transactions. During the evening of January 9, 2007, Applica sent NACCO a letter reiterating the board’s determination that NACCO’s offer, as currently structured, fails to provide sufficient certainty of completion and demanding that NACCO inform the board not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 11, 2007, whether it is willing to amend its offer to remedy these concerns.

During the evening on January 9, 2007, Applica notified Harbinger’s legal advisor in writing that the Applica board had taken these steps.

Applica convened the special meeting at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2007, as previously scheduled, and adjourned the special meeting until 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, without a vote on any proposal other than an adjournment. The proposal to adopt the Harbinger merger agreement will be submitted to a vote of Applica’s shareholders at the reconvened meeting. The reconvened meeting will have the same record date of November 27, 2006.”

Item 4(c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Applica board has not changed its recommendation that Applica shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Harbinger merger agreement.

The NACCO offer is under review by Applica’s board of directors and Applica will advise its shareholders of the results of that review as soon as possible. Applica requests that its shareholders defer making a determination whether to accept or reject such amended NACCO offer until they have been advised of the Applica board’s position.

The Applica board reserves the right to revise its recommendation in the event of changed circumstances, if any. Any such change in the recommendation of the Applica board will be communicated to shareholders as promptly as practicable in the event that such a determination is reached.

Applica shareholders who have voted “FOR” adoption of the adoption of the Harbinger merger agreement can change their vote at any time prior to the special meeting on January 17, 2007 by:

	1.		Delivering a written notice to the corporate secretary of Applica before such special meeting that states that he or she revokes his or her proxy;

	2.		Delivering a signed and later dated new proxy card before such special meeting in accordance with the instructions included with the proxy card; or

	3.		Attending the special meeting and voting in person.

Applica shareholders retain the ability to tender their shares into the NACCO offer irrespective of whether or not they choose to revoke a previously executed proxy until January 23, 2007.”

Item 8. Additional Information.

Item 8(a) is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following new paragraph as the final paragraph under the “Litigation” heading:

“On January 10, 2007, NACCO voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, its complaint against Applica, Harbinger Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates, filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.”

Item 9. Exhibits.

Item 9 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
