The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), of Applica Incorporated, a Florida corporation (the “Company”), other than Shares held by NACCO or its affiliates, at a price of $7.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer To Purchase dated December 15, 2006, as amended, and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer To Purchase and any amendments or supplements thereto constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Offer To Purchase and the Schedule TO. The item numbers referenced herein are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule TO. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO.

     The price per Share to be paid pursuant to the Offer has been increased from $7.00 per Share to $7.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest. The full text of the press release issued by NACCO on December 26, 2006 announcing the increase in the Offer Price is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(iii).

     The Offer To Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, together with the Letter to Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees, and the Letter to Clients for Use by Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees, are each hereby amended to delete all references to the Offer Price of $7.00 per Share and to replace them with references to $7.50 per Share except in the paragraph of “The Offer — Section 11. Contacts and Transactions with the Company; Background of the Offer” describing the price increase made by Purchaser and NACCO on December 21, 2006.

     The conditions set forth in “The Offer — Section 14. Conditions to the Offer” are hereby amended to: delete or amend a number of conditions, including the following (and as more specifically set forth below): (i) the condition requiring that the Company Board recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and tender their Shares in the Offer has been amended, (ii) the condition requiring that no alternative tender offer or other extraordinary transaction by a third party be pending or announced has been deleted, (iii) the condition requiring that there shall not have occurred or be threatened a change in the general economic, financial currency exchange or market conditions has been deleted, and (iv) the condition requiring that there shall not have occurred or be threatened a change in the business, properties, etc. of the Company reasonably expected to have an Adverse Effect or Dimunition in Value has been amended in a manner consistent with the corresponding closing condition from the Harbinger Agreement.

     The Offer To Purchase is further amended as follows:

1.

The first sentence of “The Offer — Section 10. Source and Amount of Funds” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The total amount of funds required by Purchaser to complete the Offer and consummate the Merger, and expected to be incurred by Purchaser, is estimated to be approximately $187,500,742.50 plus any related transaction fees and expenses.”

2.

The following is hereby added at the end of “The Offer — Section 11. Contacts and Transactions with the Company; Background of the Offer”: “According to published reports and the Company’s public filings, on December 22, 2006, the Company and Harbinger amended the Harbinger Agreement to provide for the Company’s shareholders to receive $7.00 per Share if the merger contemplated by the Harbinger Agreement closes. According to the Applica 12-4-06 Proxy Statement, as

amended, the scheduled date for Applica shareholders to vote on the merger contemplated by the Harbinger Agreement is December 28, 2006. Also on December 22, 2006, the Company filed an amended Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC in connection with the Offer recommending that the Company’s shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their Shares in the Offer. The Schedule 14D-9 contains other important information, and Purchaser recommends that holders of Shares review it carefully. None of NACCO, Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates or representatives takes any responsibility for the disclosure included in or incorporated by reference into the Schedule 14D-9, as amended.

On December 26, 2006, Purchaser and NACCO increased the Offer Price to $7.50 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and modified the conditions to the Offer.”
