NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (the “parent company” or “NACCO”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s subsidiaries operate in three principal industries: lift trucks, housewares and mining. The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by industry; however, the Company manages its lift truck operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing and retail distribution. NACCO Housewares Group (“Housewares”) also consists of two reportable segments: Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (formerly known as Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc.) (“HB”) and The Kitchen Collection, Inc. (“KCI”).
NMHG Holding Co. (“NMHG”) designs, engineers, manufactures, sells, services and leases a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names. NMHG manages its operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing (“NMHG Wholesale”) and retail distribution (“NMHG Retail”). NMHG Wholesale includes the manufacture and sale of lift trucks and related service parts, primarily to independent and wholly owned Hyster® and Yale® retail dealerships. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Scotland, The Netherlands, China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines and Brazil. NMHG Retail includes the sale, leasing and service of Hyster® and Yale® lift trucks and related service parts by wholly owned retail dealerships. Housewares consists of two reportable segments: HB, a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels, and KCI, a national specialty retailer of kitchenware and gourmet foods operating under the Kitchen Collection® and Le Gourmet Chef® store names in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States. The North American Coal Corporation and its affiliated coal companies (collectively, “NACoal”) mine and market lignite coal primarily as fuel for power generation and provide selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2007. Because the housewares business is seasonal, a majority of revenues and operating profit typically occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of small electric household appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards
SFAS No. 155: In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

SFAS No. 156: In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates. Additionally, SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 156 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
SFAS No. 157: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 apply under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
SFAS No. 158: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in its statement of financial position measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation. For a pension plan, the benefit obligation would be the projected benefit obligation; for any other postretirement benefit plan, the benefit obligation would be the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. The pronouncement also requires entities to recognize the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as a component of other comprehensive income and measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s statement of financial position. The pronouncement also requires disclosure of additional information in the notes to financial statements about certain effects of net periodic benefit cost in the subsequent fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits. As of December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158. The Company expects to change the measurement date of its postretirement benefit plans from September 30 to the date of its statement of financial position as of December 31, 2008 and expects to allocate as an adjustment of opening retained earnings three-fifteenths of the net periodic benefit cost determined for the period from September 30, 2007 to December 31, 2008. The remaining twelve-fifteenths are expected to be recognized as net periodic benefit cost during 2008.
SFAS No. 159: In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The pronouncement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.
FIN No. 48: In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109.” FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable to financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain taxes. FIN No. 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of accounting change of $9.8 million, which decreased beginning retained earnings in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and increased “Self-insurance and Other Liabilities” in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2007. See Note 8 for further discussion of the effect of adopting FIN No. 48 on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 — Restructuring
Restructuring plans initiated prior to or on December 31, 2002 are accounted for according to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring),” while all restructuring actions initiated after December 31, 2002 are accounted for according to SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. EITF No. 94-3 had previously required that a liability for such costs be recognized at the date of the Company’s commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 may affect the periods in which costs are recognized although the total amount of costs recognized will be the same as previous accounting guidance.
A summary of the Company’s restructuring plans accounted for according to SFAS No. 146 are as follows:
NMHG 2007 Restructuring Programs
During the third quarter of 2007, NMHG’s Board of Directors approved a plan to phase out production of current product at its facility in Irvine, Scotland by early 2009, change the product mix at its Craigavon, Northern Ireland facility and increase production at its Berea, Kentucky and Sulligent, Alabama plants in the United States and at its Ramos Arizpe facility in Mexico. As a result, NMHG Wholesale recognized a charge of approximately $5.0 million related to severance in the third quarter of 2007, which is classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on the line “Restructuring charge (reversal).” This charge was reduced by $0.8 million from the amount previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K dated August 8, 2007 due to a revised estimate of employee attrition used to calculate severance costs. No payments were made during the first nine months of 2007. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to be made through early 2009.
In addition to the restructuring charge recorded during the third quarter of 2007, the Company anticipates that it will incur subsequent charges, which were not eligible for accrual at September 30, 2007, totaling approximately $3.3 million for additional severance and other costs related to the restructuring, which includes approximately $0.6 million during the remainder of 2007, $2.6 million during 2008 and $0.1 million during 2009.
During the first quarter of 2007, NMHG Wholesale’s management approved a plan for The Netherlands manufacturing facility to outsource its welding and painting operations to a lower cost country. As a result, NMHG Wholesale recognized a charge of approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2007, which is classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on the line “Restructuring charge (reversal).” Of this amount, a cash charge of $1.1 million related to severance and $1.4 million related to a non-cash asset impairment charge for equipment, which was determined based on current estimated market values for similar assets compared with the net book value of these assets. The Company does not expect to incur any additional charges related to this restructuring plan. Severance payments of $0.8 million were made to 24 employees during the first nine months of 2007. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to continue through 2008.

Housewares 2006 Restructuring Program
During 2006, HB’s management approved a plan for the Saltillo, Mexico facility to phase out production of blenders and coffeemakers for the Mexican and Latin American markets. Blenders and coffeemakers for the Mexican and Latin American markets will be sourced from third-party suppliers. As such, HB recognized a charge of approximately $1.5 million in 2006. Of this amount, $1.1 million related to severance and $0.3 million related to lease termination costs for machinery and equipment no longer in use. Also included in the restructuring charge is a $0.1 million non-cash asset impairment charge for equipment and tooling, which was determined based on current estimated market values for similar assets compared with the net book value of these assets. During the first nine months of 2007, HB recognized an additional charge of approximately $0.9 million related to the lease impairment of the building and equipment no longer in use and $0.1 million for other costs related to the restructuring. Severance payments of $1.0 million were made to 127 employees during the first nine months of 2007. Lease payments of $0.9 million and payments of $0.1 million for other costs were made during the first nine months of 2007. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to continue through 2007.
Housewares 2005 Restructuring Program
During 2005, HB’s management approved a plan for the Saltillo, Mexico facility to phase out production of blenders for the U.S. and Canadian markets and only produce blenders for the Mexican and Latin American markets. Blenders for the U.S. and Canadian markets will be sourced from third-party Chinese manufacturers. As such, HB recognized a charge of approximately $3.8 million in 2005. Of this amount, $2.3 million related to severance, $1.0 million related to lease termination costs for machinery and equipment no longer in use, $0.2 million related to the write-down of excess inventory and $0.1 million related to other costs. Also included in the restructuring charge was a $0.2 million non-cash asset impairment charge for equipment and tooling, which was determined based on current estimated market values for similar assets compared with the net book value of these assets. During the first nine months of 2006, HB recognized an additional charge of approximately $0.2 million for other costs related to the restructuring. In addition, severance payments of $1.7 million were made to 363 employees, lease payments of $0.9 million and payments of $0.2 million for other costs were made during the first nine months of 2006. Severance payments of $0.4 million were made to 85 employees during the first nine months of 2007. Also, $0.1 million of the accrual related to lease termination costs for machinery and equipment no longer in use was reversed due to receiving higher than estimated proceeds for the sale of machinery and equipment during the first nine months of 2007. No further payments related to this restructuring plan are expected.
Housewares 2004 Restructuring Program
During 2004, the HB Board of Directors approved management’s plan to restructure HB’s manufacturing activities by closing the Sotec manufacturing facility located near Juarez, Mexico and consolidating all remaining activities into its Saltillo, Mexico facility. In addition, it closed its El Paso, Texas distribution center and consolidated these activities into its Memphis, Tennessee distribution center. HB reduced activities at its North American manufacturing plants through the end of 2005 as a result of increased sourcing of products from China. These actions were designed to reduce HB’s manufacturing inefficiencies attributable to excess capacity to minimal levels in 2005. As such, HB recognized a charge of approximately $9.4 million in 2004. Of this amount, $3.6 million related to lease termination costs for closed facilities and machinery and equipment no longer in use, $2.3 million related to severance, $0.4 million related to the write-down of excess inventory and $0.1 million related to post-employment medical expenses. Also included in the restructuring charge was a $3.0 million non-cash asset impairment charge for equipment and tooling, which was determined based on current estimated market values for similar assets compared with the net book value of these assets. During the first nine months of 2006, HB recognized a charge of less than $0.1 million for severance costs related to the restructuring. Severance payments of $0.3 million were made to 35 employees during the first nine months of 2007. In addition, $0.1 million of the accrual for the write-down of excess inventory was reversed during the first nine months of 2007 and included in “Cost of sales” due to the inventory being sold for an amount higher than previously estimated. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to continue through early 2008.

The changes to the Company’s restructuring plans accounted for according to EITF No. 94-3 are as follows:
NMHG 2002 Restructuring Program
As announced in December 2002, NMHG Wholesale phased out its Lenoir, North Carolina lift truck component facility and restructured other manufacturing and administrative operations, primarily its Irvine, Scotland lift truck assembly and component facility. As such, NMHG Wholesale recognized a restructuring charge of approximately $12.5 million during 2002. Of this amount, $3.8 million related to a non-cash asset impairment charge for a building, machinery and tooling, which was determined based on current market values for similar assets and broker quotes compared with the net book value of these assets, and $8.7 million related to severance and other employee benefits to be paid to approximately 615 manufacturing and administrative employees. In addition, $0.4 million of the amount accrued at December 31, 2002 was reversed during the first nine months of 2006 as a result of a reduction in the estimate of employees eligible to receive severance payments as well as a reduction in the average amount to be paid to each employee. Severance payments of $0.1 million were made to six employees during the first nine months of 2006. Final payments under this program were made during 2006.
Additional restructuring related costs, primarily related to manufacturing inefficiencies, which were not eligible for accrual as of December 31, 2002, were $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, of which $3.0 million was classified as “Cost of sales” and $0.2 million was classified as “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    (48.5 )     (44.3 )
 
           
 
  $ 580.6     $ 484.9  
 
           
The cost of certain manufactured and retail inventories, including service parts, has been determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of inventory. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 52% and 55%, respectively, of total inventories were determined using the LIFO method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of the year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these estimates are subject to change and may be different than the actual inventory levels and costs at year-end, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
HB’s LIFO inventory value exceeds its first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) inventory value primarily due to price deflation which occurred in prior years.
Note 5 — Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Equity Investments
Three of NACoal’s wholly owned subsidiaries, The Coteau Properties Company, The Falkirk Mining Company and The Sabine Mining Company (collectively, the “project mining subsidiaries”), meet the definition of a variable interest entity pursuant to FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” The project mining subsidiaries were developed between 1974 and 1981 and operate lignite coal mines under long-term contracts with various utility customers. The contracts with the project mining subsidiaries’ utility customers allow each mine to sell lignite coal at a price based on actual cost plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton. The taxes resulting from earnings of the project mining subsidiaries are solely the responsibility of the Company. These entities are capitalized primarily with debt financing, which the utility customers have arranged and guaranteed. The obligations of the project mining subsidiaries are without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. Although NACoal owns 100% of the stock and manages the daily operations of these entities, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities of the project mining

subsidiaries or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the utility customers. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary of the project mining subsidiaries. The pre-tax income from the project mining subsidiaries is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with related taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The assets and liabilities of the project mining subsidiaries are not included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but the investment in the project mining subsidiaries and related tax assets and liabilities are included. The Company’s risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital and accumulated undistributed earnings, which was $5.1 million at both September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.
Summarized financial information for the project mining subsidiaries is as follows:

NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a joint venture with GE Capital Corporation (“GECC”), formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent and wholly owned Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
NMHG has a 50% ownership interest in Sumitomo NACCO Materials Handling Company, Ltd. (“SN”), a limited liability company which was formed primarily for the manufacture and distribution of Sumitomo-Yale and Shinko branded lift trucks in Japan and the export of Hyster® and Yale®-branded lift trucks and related components and service parts outside of Japan. NMHG purchases products from SN under normal trade terms based on current market prices. NMHG’s ownership in SN is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
The Company’s percentage share of the net income or loss from its equity investments in NFS and SN are reported on the line “Income from other unconsolidated affiliates” in the “Other income (expense)” section of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Summarized financial information for these equity investments is as follows:

Note 6 — Current and Long-Term Financing
HB has a $115.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HB Facility”). The HB Facility was amended on May 31, 2007 to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2012, change the interest rate on outstanding borrowings, revise certain definitions, allow HB to pay a special cash dividend of $110.0 million and allow HB to enter into a term loan agreement (the “HB Term Loan Agreement”). The obligations under the HB Facility are secured by a first lien on the accounts receivable and inventory of HB and a second lien on all of the other assets of HB.
On May 31, 2007, HB entered into the HB Term Loan Agreement that provides for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. A portion of the proceeds of the term loans under the HB Term Loan Agreement were used to finance the payment of a $110.0 million special cash dividend. The term loans require quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount per year for the term of the loan, with the remaining balance to be paid at the maturity date on May 31, 2013. Prior to the final maturity date, the term loans are subject to mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of the issuance of certain indebtedness, certain asset sales and 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the HB Term Loan Agreement, which reduce the quarterly principal payments required. The obligations of HB under the HB Term Loan Agreement are secured by a second lien on accounts receivable and inventory and a first lien on all of the other assets of HB.

Table of Contents

The term loans bear interest at a floating rate which, at HB’s option, can be either a base rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the HB Term Loan Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2007, for base rate loans and Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans were 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively. The applicable margins are subject to quarterly adjustment based on a leverage ratio. The interest rate on the amount outstanding under the HB Term Loan Agreement was 7.75% at September 30, 2007.
The HB Term Loan Agreement contains restrictive covenants substantially similar to those in the HB Facility which, among other things, limit the amount of dividends HB may declare and pay and the incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness under the HB Facility). The HB Term Loan Agreement also requires HB to meet certain financial tests, including, but not limited to, maximum total leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tests.
Note 7 — Guarantees and Contingencies
Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against NACCO and certain subsidiaries relating to the conduct of their businesses, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business of the Company. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that material costs will be incurred in excess of accruals already recognized.
Under various financing arrangements for certain customers, including independently owned retail dealerships, NMHG provides guarantees of the residual values of lift trucks or recourse or repurchase obligations such that NMHG would be obligated in the event of default by the customer. Terms of the third-party financing arrangements for which NMHG is providing a guarantee generally range from one to five years. Total guarantees and amounts subject to recourse or repurchase obligations at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were $247.1 million and $231.9 million, respectively. Losses anticipated under the terms of the guarantees, recourse or repurchase obligations are not significant and reserves have been provided for such losses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Generally, NMHG retains a security interest in the related assets financed such that, in the event NMHG would become obligated under the terms of the recourse or repurchase obligations, NMHG would take title to the financed assets. The fair value of collateral held at September 30, 2007 was approximately $264.0 million based on Company estimates. The Company estimates the fair value of the collateral using information regarding the original sales price, the current age of the equipment and general market conditions that influence the value of both new and used lift trucks.
NMHG has a 20% ownership interest in NFS, a joint venture with GECC formed primarily for the purpose of providing financial services to independent and wholly owned Hyster® and Yale® lift truck dealers and National Account customers in the United States. NMHG’s ownership in NFS is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Generally, NMHG sells lift trucks through its independent dealer network or directly to customers. These dealers and customers may enter into a financing transaction with NFS or other unrelated third-parties. NFS provides debt financing to dealers and lease financing to both dealers and customers. On occasion, the credit quality of a customer or concentration issues within GECC may necessitate providing standby recourse or repurchase obligations or a guarantee of the residual value of the lift trucks purchased by customers and financed through NFS. At September 30, 2007, approximately $176.5 million of the Company’s total guarantees, recourse or repurchase obligations related to transactions with NFS. In addition, in connection with the joint venture agreement, NMHG also provides a guarantee to GECC for 20% of NFS’ debt with GECC, such that NMHG would become liable under the terms of NFS’ debt agreements with GECC in the case of default by NFS. At September 30, 2007 the amount of NFS’ debt guaranteed by NMHG was $178.0 million. NFS has not defaulted under the terms of this debt financing in the past and although there can be no assurances, NMHG is not aware of any circumstances that would cause NFS to default in future periods.
NMHG provides a standard warranty on its lift trucks, generally for six to twelve months or 1,000 to 2,000 hours. For new series of lift trucks, NMHG provides an extended powertrain warranty of two years as part of the standard warranty. HB provides a standard warranty to consumers for all of its products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product brand. In general, if a product is returned under warranty, a refund is provided to the consumer by HB’s customer, the retailer. Generally, the retailer returns those products to HB for a credit. The Company estimates the costs which may be incurred under its standard warranty programs and records a liability for such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.
In addition, NMHG sells extended warranty agreements, which provide a warranty for an additional two to five years or up to 2,400 to 10,000 hours. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which NMHG does business. Revenue received for the sale of extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized in the same manner as the costs incurred to perform under the warranty contracts, in accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin 90-1, “Accounting for Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts.”

NMHG also maintains a quality enhancement program under which it provides for specifically identified field product improvements in its warranty obligation. Accruals under this program are determined based on estimates of the potential number of claims to be processed and the cost of processing those claims based on historical costs.
The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and the cost per claim. Changes in the Company’s current and long-term warranty obligations, including deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts are as follows:

Note 8 — Income Taxes
The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarter’s year-to-date pre-tax income. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Company’s annual earnings, taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, the Company’s ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates, certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction from, the income tax provision, rather than included in the estimated effective annual income tax rate.

NMHG Wholesale: During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, NMHG Wholesale’s effective income tax rate was affected by a reduction in the corporate tax rate in the U.K. from 30% to 28%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NMHG Wholesale’s effective income tax rate was affected by the settlement of income tax audits with taxing authorities.
NMHG Retail: During the three months ended September 30, 2007 and the nine months ended September 30, 2006, NMHG Retail sold dealerships in Europe for pre-tax gains of $1.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For tax purposes, a portion of the gains was exempt from local taxation and the remaining gain was fully offset by tax net operating loss carryforwards for which a full valuation allowance had been previously provided. Therefore, the Company recognized a tax benefit related to the sale of these dealerships during the first nine months of 2007 and 2006.
NACCO and Other: During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, NACCO and Other’s effective income tax rate was affected by the settlement of income tax audits with taxing authorities.
Excluding the impact of the discrete items discussed above, the effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased compared with the prior year due to a larger benefit from foreign tax rate differential at NMHG Wholesale and an increased benefit of percentage depletion at NACoal. The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to the benefit of percentage depletion at NACoal and permanently invested income subject to lower tax rates in foreign taxing jurisdictions at NMHG Wholesale.
FIN No. 48: The Company adopted FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007 and recognized an additional liability of approximately $9.8 million for “unrecognized tax benefits,” defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in the financial statements, which was accounted for as a reduction to the beginning balance of retained earnings. See Note 2 for further discussion of FIN No. 48.
The liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) for permanent and temporary book versus tax differences as of January 1, 2007 was $17.7 million, of which $15.6 million (net of the federal benefit received from state positions) relates to permanent items, that if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate.
The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued as of the date of adoption of FIN No. 48 was $4.2 million.
The Company expects that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change within the next twelve months, however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In general, the Company operates in taxing jurisdictions that provide a statute of limitations period ranging from three to six years for the taxing authorities to review the applicable tax filings. The Company extended the statute of limitations for its 2003 U.S. federal tax year to allow the U.S. taxing authorities to complete their examination and administrative review of the 2003 and 2004 tax years, which was completed in June 2007. The Company does not have any additional material taxing jurisdictions in which the statute of limitations has been extended beyond the applicable time frame allowed by law.
Note 9 — Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company maintains various defined benefit pension plans that provide benefits based on years of service and average compensation during certain periods. The Company’s policy is to make contributions to fund these plans within the range allowed by applicable regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of publicly traded stocks, investment contracts and government and corporate bonds.
In 2007, the Company announced that pension benefits for certain HB employees in Canada will be frozen effective January 1, 2009. In 2004, pension benefits for certain NACoal employees were frozen. In 1996, pension benefits were frozen for employees covered under NMHG’s and HB’s U.S. plans, except for those NMHG employees participating in collective bargaining agreements. As a result, in the United States only certain NMHG employees covered under collective bargaining agreements will earn retirement benefits under defined benefit pension plans. Other employees, including those whose pension benefits were frozen, receive retirement benefits under defined contribution retirement plans.
The Company previously disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 that it expected to contribute approximately $4.2 million and $4.5 million to its U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2007. The Company now expects to contribute approximately $8.9 million to its U.S. pension plans, a portion of which is voluntary, and $4.9 million to its non-U.S. pension plans in 2007.
The Company also maintains health care and life insurance plans which provide benefits to eligible retired employees. These plans have no assets. Under the Company’s current policy, benefits under these plans are funded at the time they are due to participants or beneficiaries.

Note 11 — Acquisitions
On August 28, 2006, KCI acquired certain assets of Le Gourmet Chef, Inc. (“LGC”), including its inventory, certain fixtures and the right to assume store leases. In connection with the acquisition, KCI assumed 69 store leases. The cash purchase price of $14.2 million for this acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The assets, liabilities and results of operations are included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.
Note 12 — Hamilton Beach Spin-off
On April 26, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin off Hamilton Beach, Inc. (“Hamilton Beach”), the parent of HB, to NACCO stockholders. On August 27, 2007, the Company announced that, in light of volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets, its Board of Directors had decided not to pursue the previously announced tax-free spin-off of Hamilton Beach to NACCO stockholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company incurred $2.3 million of expenses for professional fees related to this transaction, which have been included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”
Note 13 — Other Transactions
During the first nine months of 2007, NACoal received an arbitration award of $3.7 million, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” from a third-party to recover costs related to a failed power plant and mine development project in Turkey. The arbitration award consisted of damages for a portion of the lost investment of the participants, interest, arbitration costs and legal fees. In 2000, NACoal recognized a charge of $2.4 million, included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” for the write-off of previously capitalized development costs contributed to the third-party for this project. In 2002, NACoal agreed to pay 25% of legal and other related fees in support of the arbitration between the third-party and the Republic of Turkey in exchange for 25% of any proceeds from an arbitration award or settlement between the parties. Since 2002, NACoal has incurred $3.1 million of legal and other related arbitration costs, which have been included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses.”
On May 15, 2006, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (“NMHG Inc.”) borrowed a total principal amount of $225.0 million under its term loan agreement. The proceeds of the loans, together with available cash, were used to redeem in full NMHG’s outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Senior Notes”), which had an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. Pursuant to the Indenture governing the Senior Notes, NMHG paid the principal amount of Senior Notes, a redemption premium of $12.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date to the registered holders of the Senior Notes. As a result, NMHG recognized a charge of $17.6 million during the second quarter of 2006 for the redemption premium and write-off of the remaining unamortized original bond issue discount and deferred financing fees related to the Senior Notes.
During the second quarter of 2006, as part of its periodic review of product liability estimates, NMHG reduced its product liability accrual by $8.2 million. This change in estimate was based upon historical trends identified within then-recent favorable claim settlement experience that indicated both the frequency and severity of claim estimates should be reduced. The reduction in the product liability accrual was primarily the result of a reduction in the estimate of the number of claims that had been incurred but not reported and the average cost per claim. This adjustment is not necessarily indicative of trends or adjustments that may be required in the future to adjust the product liability accrual. The adjustment, reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Selling, general and administrative expenses,” improved income before taxes and minority interest by $8.2 million and net income by $5.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Third Quarter of 2007 Compared with Third Quarter of 2006
NMHG Wholesale
The following table identifies the components of the change in revenues for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Revenues  
 
       
2006
  $ 550.5

    11.0  
Parts
    9.1  
Unit price
    4.5  
 
     
2007
  $ 622.9  
 
     
Revenues increased $72.4 million, or 13.2%, to $622.9 million in the third quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of a favorable shift in sales mix to higher-priced lift trucks in Europe and Asia-Pacific, favorable foreign currency movements in Europe and Asia-Pacific due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and the realignment of activities performed by the Asia-Pacific Wholesale and Retail groups. In addition, unit volume was higher in Europe and Asia-Pacific, parts sales volume and pricing improved in the Americas and Europe and price increases implemented in late 2006 and early 2007 in the Americas and Europe improved revenues during the third quarter of 2007. Worldwide unit shipments increased modestly to 21,247 units in the third quarter of 2007 from 20,758 units in 2006.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:

Restructuring program
    (5.0 )
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ 8.2  
 
     
NMHG Wholesale’s operating profit decreased $9.2 million to $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with $17.4 million in the third quarter of 2006. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, a restructuring charge recorded in the third quarter of 2007 and unfavorable foreign currency movements. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher marketing and employee-related expenses. Unfavorable foreign currency movements increased the cost of lift trucks and components sold in the U.S. market and sourced from countries with appreciated currencies. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross profit primarily due to price increases and an increase in sales of higher-margin units in Europe and higher-margin parts in the Americas. However, the improvement in gross profit was partially offset by higher material costs, including industrial metals and rubber, and higher manufacturing costs in the Americas and Europe.
NMHG Wholesale recognized net income of $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with net income of $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of the decrease in operating profit.

2007
  $ 33.0  
 
     
Revenues decreased 26.5% to $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2007 compared with $44.9 million for the third quarter of 2006. This decrease was primarily the result of actions taken to improve the operational effectiveness of the Asia-Pacific retail operations. These actions resulted in a realignment of activities performed by the Asia-Pacific Retail and Wholesale groups. Also as result of these actions, revenue was unfavorably affected by an increase in intercompany sales transactions, which caused an increase in the required intercompany revenue elimination compared with the third quarter of 2006. The prior sale of a retail dealership in Europe during the third quarter of 2006 also contributed to the decrease. The decrease was partially offset by favorable foreign currency movements due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and new and used unit sales in Europe in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit (loss) for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:

  $ 2.7  
 
     
NMHG Retail recognized operating profit of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with an operating loss of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to improvements in service and rental margins in Asia-Pacific, a $1.5 million gain on the sale of a European dealership in the third quarter of 2007 and the related release of $1.5 million of deferred profit included in Eliminations above, and higher new and used unit margins in Europe.
NMHG Retail recognized net income of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with a net loss of $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. The change was primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit (loss).

Revenues increased $117.7 million, or 6.9%, to $1,822.4 million in the first nine months of 2007, primarily as a result of favorable foreign currency movements in Europe and Asia-Pacific from the weakening of the U.S. dollar, a favorable shift in sales mix to higher-priced lift trucks in Europe and improved parts sales volume and pricing. Revenues also improved as a result of the realignment of activities performed by the Asia-Pacific Wholesale and Retail groups, the effect of price increases implemented in late 2006 and early 2007 in the Americas and Europe, and higher unit volume in Europe and Asia-Pacific, partially offset by a reduction in unit volumes in the Americas. Worldwide unit shipments increased slightly to 64,953 units in the first nine months of 2007 from 64,651 units in 2006.

NMHG Wholesale’s operating profit decreased $18.6 million to $37.1 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $55.7 million in the first nine months of 2006. The decrease in operating profit was primarily due to an increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher expenses from timing differences of marketing programs and higher employee-related expenses in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006, the absence of an $8.2 million favorable product liability adjustment in the Americas recorded during the second quarter of 2006 and unfavorable foreign currency movements primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling and the euro, which increased costs of lift trucks and components for the U.S. market sourced from countries with appreciated currencies. Operating profit was also unfavorably affected by restructuring charges for a program in the The Netherlands during the first quarter of 2007 and a manufacturing restructuring program initiated during the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in operating profit was partially offset by an increase in gross profit, primarily due to price increases and an increase in sales of higher-margin parts in the Americas and Europe and higher-margin units in Europe, partially offset by higher material and manufacturing costs.

NMHG Wholesale recognized net income of $24.4 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with net income of $21.3 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily as a result of the absence of a $17.6 million charge for the early retirement of debt in the second quarter of 2006 and lower interest expense because debt was refinanced in 2006 at a lower effective interest rate, partially offset by the decrease in operating profit.

Revenues decreased 7.8% to $121.3 million for the first nine months of 2007 compared with $131.5 million for the first nine months of 2006. This decrease was primarily the result of the sale of two retail dealerships in Europe during the first nine months of 2006 and actions taken to improve the operational effectiveness of the Asia-Pacific retail operations. These actions resulted in a realignment of activities performed by the Asia-Pacific Retail and Wholesale groups and an increase in intercompany sales transactions, which caused an increase in the required intercompany revenue elimination compared with the first nine months of 2006. These unfavorable items were partially offset by favorable foreign currency movements primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar and improved new and used unit sales and service revenue in Europe.

NMHG Retail’s operating loss was $7.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2006. The increased operating loss was primarily attributable to the larger gains on the sale of European dealerships in the first nine months of 2006 compared with the first nine months of 2007, unfavorable foreign currency movements and an increase in employee-related expenses in Asia-Pacific related to new programs to improve long-term financial performance, which were implemented in the Australian operations during the first nine months of 2007. The decrease in operating profit was partially offset by lower intercompany eliminations.
NMHG Retail’s net loss was $7.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $4.8 million in the first nine months of 2006. The change was primarily due to the factors affecting operating loss.
Restructuring Programs
During the third quarter of 2007, NMHG’s Board of Directors approved a plan to phase out production of current product at its facility in Irvine, Scotland by early 2009, change the product mix at its Craigavon, Northern Ireland

facility and increase production at its Berea, Kentucky and Sulligent, Alabama plants in the United States and at its Ramos Arizpe facility in Mexico. As a result, NMHG Wholesale recognized a charge of approximately $5.0 million related to severance in the third quarter of 2007, which is classified in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations on the line “Restructuring charge (reversal).” No payments were made during the first nine months of 2007. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to continue through early 2009.
In addition to the restructuring charge recorded during the third quarter of 2007, the Company anticipates that it will incur subsequent charges, which were not eligible for accrual at September 30, 2007, totaling approximately $3.3 million for additional severance and other costs related to the restructuring, which includes approximately $0.6 million during the remainder of 2007, $2.6 million during 2008 and $0.1 million during 2009. As a result of this restructuring program, NMHG Wholesale expects estimated cost savings of $3.8 million in 2008, $14.9 million in 2009, $16.4 million in 2010 and exceeding $20.0 million in 2011 and annually thereafter.
In addition to the restructuring charges, NMHG expects to incur additional costs related to this restructuring program primarily for accelerated depreciation of manufacturing equipment that will no longer be used and for manufacturing inefficiencies during the phase out of production and the rearrangement of equipment in its manufacturing plants. During the third quarter of 2007, NMHG incurred $0.4 million of additional costs, primarily for accelerated depreciation. NMHG expects to incur additional costs of approximately $2.1 million during the remainder of 2007, $7.6 million during 2008 and $0.7 million during 2009.
During the first quarter of 2007, NMHG Wholesale’s management approved a plan for The Netherlands manufacturing facility to outsource its welding and painting operations to a lower cost country. As a result, NMHG Wholesale recognized a charge of approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2007. Of this amount, $1.1 million related to severance and $1.4 million related to a non-cash asset impairment charge for equipment, which was determined based on current estimated market values for similar assets compared with the net book value of these assets. The Company does not expect to incur any additional charges related to this restructuring plan. Severance payments of $0.8 million were made to 24 employees during the first nine months of 2007. Payments related to this restructuring plan are expected to continue through 2008. As a result of this restructuring program, NMHG Wholesale expects estimated cost savings of $1.2 million in 2007 and $1.5 million in 2008 and annually thereafter.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities decreased $37.9 million primarily as a result of the working capital changes and the $17.6 million cash flow adjustment for the early retirement of debt in the first nine months of 2006. The change in working capital was primarily the result of changes in accounts receivable from timing differences of receipts, higher finished goods inventory as a result of a change in the timing of shipments and customer acceptance of the inventory, larger intercompany tax receipts and changes in accounts payable primarily the result of timing differences of payments during the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006.
Net cash used for investing activities decreased primarily due to lower capital expenditures, partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of assets in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006.

The change in net cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to the redemption of NMHG’s 10% Senior Notes due 2009 during the first nine months of 2006. This included a reduction in debt, the premium on extinguishment of debt of $12.5 million and financing fees paid of $4.9 million.
Financing Activities
NMHG’s primary financing is provided by a $175.0 million secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “NMHG Facility”) and a term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). The maximum availability under the NMHG Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against the inventory and accounts receivable of the borrowers, as defined in the NMHG Facility. Adjustments to reserves booked against these assets, including inventory reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base and thereby impact the liquidity provided by the NMHG Facility.
At September 30, 2007, the borrowing base under the NMHG Facility was $111.5 million, which reflects reductions for the commitments or availability under certain foreign credit facilities and for an excess availability requirement of $10.0 million. There were no domestic borrowings outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2007. The domestic floating rate of interest applicable to the NMHG Facility on September 30, 2007 was 8.5%, including the applicable floating rate margin. The NMHG Facility includes a subfacility for foreign borrowers which can be denominated in British pound sterling or euros. Included in the borrowing capacity is a $20.0 million overdraft facility available to foreign borrowers. At September 30, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under these foreign subfacilities. The NMHG Facility expires in December 2010.
The terms of the NMHG Facility provide that availability is reduced by the commitments or availability under a foreign credit facility of the borrowers and certain foreign working capital facilities. A foreign credit facility commitment of approximately $33.4 million in Australia and $9.2 million in Europe reduced the amount of availability under the NMHG Facility at September 30, 2007. In addition, availability under the NMHG Facility was reduced by $5.5 million for a working capital facility in China and by $5.4 million for other letters of credit. If the commitments or availability under these facilities are increased, availability under the NMHG Facility will be reduced. The $111.5 million of borrowing base capacity under the NMHG Facility at September 30, 2007 reflected reductions for these foreign credit facilities.
During 2006, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (“NMHG Inc.”), a wholly owned subsidiary of NMHG, entered into the Term Loan that provides for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million, which mature in 2013. The term loans require quarterly payments in an amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount per year for the first six years, with the remaining balance to be paid in four equal installments in the seventh year. At September 30, 2007, there was $222.7 million outstanding under the Term Loan.
Borrowings under the Term Loan are guaranteed by NMHG and substantially all of NMHG’s domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of the guarantors under the Term Loan are secured by a first lien on all of the domestic machinery, equipment and real property owned by NMHG Inc. and each guarantor and a second lien on all of the collateral securing the obligations of NMHG under its revolving credit facility.

29


Table of Contents

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate which, at NMHG Inc.’s option, will be either LIBOR or a floating rate, as defined in the Term Loan, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to adjustment based on a leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate on the amount outstanding under the Term Loan at September 30, 2007 was 7.51%.
In addition to the amount outstanding under the Term Loan and the NMHG Facility, NMHG had borrowings of approximately $35.7 million at September 30, 2007 under various working capital facilities.
Both the NMHG Facility and Term Loan include restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends to NACCO. Subject to achieving availability thresholds, dividends to NACCO are limited to the larger of $5.0 million or 50% of the preceding year’s net income. The NMHG Facility and the Term Loan also require NMHG to meet certain financial tests, including, but not limited to, minimum excess availability, maximum capital expenditures, maximum leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tests. At September 30, 2007, NMHG was in compliance with the covenants in the NMHG Facility and the Term Loan.
NMHG believes funds available under the NMHG Facility, other available lines of credit and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the NMHG Facility in December 2010.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
As a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, NMHG recognized an additional long-term liability of approximately $6.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of payments due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.
Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of NMHG’s contractual obligations or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported on page 48 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $18.6 million for NMHG Wholesale and $4.7 million for NMHG Retail during the first nine months of 2007. These capital expenditures included information technology infrastructure, additions to the rental fleet and tooling for new products. Capital expenditures are estimated to be an additional $16.7 million for NMHG Wholesale and $0.8 million for NMHG Retail for the remainder of 2007. Planned expenditures for the remainder of 2007 include tooling related to the ongoing launch of the remaining portion of the 1 to 8 ton internal combustion engine lift truck program, information technology infrastructure, plant improvements and rental fleet additions. The principal sources of financing for these capital expenditures will be internally generated funds.

Debt to total capitalization
    38 %     40 %     (2 %)
The increase in total net tangible assets was primarily attributable to a $58.7 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales and the timing of receipts, a $48.1 million increase in inventory due to higher finished goods inventory as a result of a change in the timing of shipments and customer acceptance of the inventory, and a $7.9 million decrease in accounts payable due to the timing of payments. These increases were partially offset by a $57.9 million decrease in cash, a $15.7 million decrease in property, plant and equipment from depreciation in excess of capital expenditures and the sale of a European dealership in the third quarter of 2007 and a $15.5 million decrease in net intercompany payable and receivable from intercompany tax receipts during the first nine months of 2007.
Stockholder’s equity increased $34.2 million in the first nine months of 2007 as a result of $16.6 million of net income in the first nine months of 2007 and a $23.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income

(loss) primarily due to an increase in the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment. These increases were partially offset by a $6.2 million reduction in retained earnings for the adoption of FIN No. 48. See Note 8 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the adoption FIN No. 48 as of January 1, 2007.
OUTLOOK
NMHG Wholesale
NMHG Wholesale expects continued growth in lift truck markets in the fourth quarter of 2007 in Europe and Asia-Pacific and a moderate year-over-year decrease in the Americas market. However, growth in the South American market is expected to partially offset the expected decline in the North American market. As a result, NMHG Wholesale expects modest growth in these markets for the remainder of 2007 and, overall, modest increases in unit booking and shipment levels for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with 2006.
Increases in material costs, specifically industrial metals and rubber, are expected to continue to affect results unfavorably throughout the remainder of 2007 and in 2008, but price increases implemented in late 2006 and early 2007 are expected to continue to partially offset the effect of these increased costs. Additionally, lead costs have increased significantly during 2007. NMHG Wholesale has adopted a program to pass through these costs as surcharges to its customers during 2007 and expects to continue to do so as needed. In addition, NMHG Wholesale will continue to monitor economic conditions and their resulting effects on costs, and will work to mitigate these increased costs through previously initiated cost reduction programs or price increases, when appropriate.
The weakening of the U.S. dollar has adversely affected earnings due to NMHG’s manufacturing of certain lift trucks and sourcing of some components from countries with appreciated currencies for sale in the U.S. market. During the first quarter of 2007, NMHG Wholesale outsourced its welding and painting operations at its manufacturing facility in The Netherlands to a lower-cost country. This action is expected to provide pre-tax benefits of $1.2 million during 2007 and $1.5 million annually thereafter. During the third quarter of 2007, NMHG Wholesale announced an additional manufacturing restructuring program which will phase out production of current product at its facility in Irvine, Scotland, change the product mix at its Craigavon, Northern Ireland facility and increase production at its Berea, Kentucky and Sulligent, Alabama plants in the U.S. and at its Ramos Arizpe facility in Mexico. These actions are expected to reduce purchases of high cost euro- and British pound sterling-denominated materials and components, reduce freight costs, lessen NMHG’s exposure to future currency exchange rate fluctuations, reduce the manufacturing footprint of NMHG Wholesale’s European manufacturing locations and provide additional opportunities to source components from lower-cost countries. This manufacturing restructuring program, net of future charges, is anticipated to contribute to improved results in 2008 and 2009, and, at maturity, generate benefits which are expected to exceed $20 million in annual cost savings. NMHG Wholesale anticipates future additional charges related to this manufacturing program of approximately $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, $10.2 million during 2008 and $0.8 million in 2009. These charges are in addition to the $5.4 million of charges incurred in the third quarter of 2007.
Overall, NMHG Wholesale’s full year 2007 results are expected to improve over 2006. NMHG Wholesale’s investment in long-term programs, particularly its significant new electric-rider truck, warehouse truck and big truck product development and manufacturing programs, are expected to continue to improve future results. NMHG Wholesale continues to believe programs in place or under consideration will allow NMHG to achieve its nine percent operating profit margin goal in the 2010 or 2011 time frame.
NMHG Retail
NMHG Retail’s key change programs are expected to have an increasingly favorable effect in the fourth quarter of 2007 and are being put in place to meet NMHG Retail’s longer-term strategic objectives, which include achieving at least break-even results while building market position.

NACCO HOUSEWARES GROUP
NACCO Housewares Group includes two reportable segments: HB, a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels, and KCI, a national specialty retailer of kitchenware and gourmet foods operating under the Kitchen Collection® and Le Gourmet Chef® store names in outlet and traditional malls throughout the United States. Because the housewares business is seasonal, a majority of revenues and operating profit occurs in the second half of the year when sales of small electric appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season.
On April 26, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to spin off Hamilton Beach, Inc. (“Hamilton Beach”), the parent of HB, to NACCO stockholders. On August 27, 2007, the Company announced that, in light of volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets, its Board of Directors had decided not to pursue the previously announced tax-free spin-off of Hamilton Beach to NACCO stockholders.

HAMILTON BEACH BRANDS, INC.
Third Quarter of 2007 Compared with Third Quarter of 2006
The following table identifies the components of the change in revenues for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Revenues  
2006
  $ 136.1  
 
       
Increase (decrease) in 2007 from:
       
Sales mix and other

Foreign currency
    1.0  
Unit volume
    (10.1 )
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ 140.4  
 
     
Revenues increased 3.2% in the third quarter of 2007 to $140.4 million compared with $136.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, primarily due to a favorable shift of sales toward higher-priced products and from the effect of price increases implemented in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by reduced unit volume from a decrease in sales to key retailers in a U.S. consumer market constrained by the current challenging economic environment. Revenues were also favorably affected by foreign currency movements in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Operating  
    Profit  
2006
  $ 9.4  
 
       
Increase (decrease) in 2007 from:
       
Gross profit

    1.3  
Foreign currency
    0.6  
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ 14.2  
 
     
Operating profit increased $4.8 million to $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared with $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2006. Operating profit increased primarily as a result of an improvement in gross profit caused by sales of higher-margin products and the movement of production of all products to third-party manufacturers, partially offset by lower unit volume and increased product costs. A decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and favorable foreign currency movements also contributed to the increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of additional environmental expenses of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by higher warehousing and refurbishment costs compared with the third quarter of 2006.
HB recorded net income of $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with net income of $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase in net income was primarily the result of the increase in operating profit partially offset by increased interest expense due to additional borrowings for the payment of a $110.0 million special cash dividend and an increase in other expense from unfavorable foreign currency movements.

First Nine Months of 2007 Compared with First Nine Months of 2006
The following table identifies the components of the change in revenues for the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006:
         
    Revenues

Revenues decreased 1.4% in the first nine months of 2007 to $340.5 million compared with $345.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily as a result of reduced unit volume from a decrease in sales to key retailers in a U.S. consumer market constrained by the current challenging economic environment, partially offset by a shift to sales of higher-priced products and from the effect of price increases implemented late in the fourth quarter of 2006. Revenues were also favorably affected by foreign currency movements in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit for the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006:

  $ 16.8  
 
     
Operating profit decreased to $16.8 million for the first nine months of 2007, compared with $17.1 million in the first nine months of 2006. Operating profit declined primarily as a result of an additional restructuring charge incurred to complete the closing of the Mexican manufacturing operation during the first nine months of 2007 and unfavorable foreign currency movements. This decline was partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily due to the absence of additional environmental expenses of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by higher employee-related costs.
HB recorded net income of $5.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2006. The decrease in net income was the result of the decrease in operating profit and increased interest expense primarily from additional borrowings for the payment of a $110.0 million special cash dividend, partially offset by a reduction in other expense from favorable foreign currency movements.

Cash flow before financing activities
  $ (3.3 )   $ 9.5     $ (12.8 )
 
                 
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities decreased $2.0 million, primarily due to the change in net income, lower other non-cash items and lower depreciation due to the sale of the Mexican manufacturing facility in 2006. This was partially offset by lower inventory in the third quarter of 2007.
The decrease in net cash provided by (used for) investing activities was due to the proceeds received from HB’s sale of its manufacturing facility in Saltillo, Mexico in the first nine months of 2006.
                         
    2007     2006     Change

Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities

Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities increased $11.6 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006, primarily due to higher borrowings to fund dividends paid to NACCO, including a $110.0 million special cash dividend, in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Financing Activities
HB has a $115.0 million senior secured floating-rate revolving credit facility (the “HB Facility”). The HB Facility was amended on May 31, 2007 to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2012, change the interest rate on outstanding borrowings, revise certain definitions, allow HB to pay a special cash dividend of $110.0 million and allow HB to enter into a term loan agreement (the “HB Term Loan Agreement”). The obligations under the HB Facility are secured by a first lien on the accounts receivable and inventory of HB and a second lien on all of the other assets of HB.
The HB Facility is governed by a borrowing base derived from advance rates against the inventory and accounts receivable, as defined in the HB Facility. Adjustments to reserves, including derivative reserves, will change the eligible borrowing base. A portion of the availability can be denominated in Canadian dollars to provide funding to HB’s Canadian subsidiary. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either a base rate, LIBOR or bankers’ acceptance rate, as defined in the HB Facility, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2007, for base rate loans and LIBOR loans denominated in U.S. dollars were 0.00% and

35


Table of Contents

1.25%, respectively. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2007, for base rate and bankers’ acceptance loans denominated in Canadian dollars were 0.50% and 1.25%, respectively. The HB Facility also requires a fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused commitment. The margins and unused commitment fee are subject to quarterly adjustment based on the average excess availability.
At September 30, 2007, the borrowing base under the HB Facility was $110.1 million, which had been reduced for reserves and the excess availability requirement, as defined in the HB Facility. Borrowings outstanding under the HB Facility were $49.8 million at September 30, 2007. Therefore, at September 30, 2007, the excess availability under the HB Facility was $60.3 million. The floating rate of interest applicable to the HB Facility at September 30, 2007 was 6.85% including the floating rate margin.
The HB Facility includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, set limitations on additional indebtedness (other than indebtedness under the HB Facility and HB Term Loan Agreement), investments, asset sales and the payment of dividends to NACCO. The HB Facility also requires HB to meet minimum fixed charge ratio tests in certain circumstances. At September 30, 2007, HB was in compliance with the covenants in the HB Facility.
On May 31, 2007, HB entered into the HB Term Loan Agreement that provides for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million. A portion of the proceeds of the term loans under the HB Term Loan Agreement were used to finance the payment of a $110.0 million special cash dividend. The term loans require quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount per year for the term of the loan, with the remaining balance to be paid at the maturity date on May 31, 2013. Prior to the final maturity date, the term loans are subject to mandatory prepayments from the proceeds of the issuance of certain indebtedness, certain asset sales and 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the HB Term Loan Agreement, which reduce the quarterly principal payments required. The obligations of HB under the HB Term Loan Agreement are secured by a second lien on accounts receivable and inventory and a first lien on all of the other assets of HB.
The term loans bear interest at a floating rate which, at HB’s option, can be either a base rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the HB Term Loan Agreement, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins, effective September 30, 2007, for base rate loans and Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans were 1.25% and 2.25%, respectively. The applicable margins are subject to quarterly adjustment based on a leverage ratio. The interest rate on the amount outstanding under the HB Term Loan Agreement was 7.75% at September 30, 2007.
The HB Term Loan Agreement contains restrictive covenants substantially similar to those in the HB Facility which, among other things, limit the amount of dividends HB may declare and pay and the incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness under the HB Facility). The HB Term Loan Agreement also requires HB to meet certain financial tests, including, but not limited to, maximum total leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio tests. At September 30, 2007, HB was in compliance with the covenants in the HB Term Loan Agreement.
HB believes funds available under the HB Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the HB Facility expires in 2012.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
As a result of HB entering into the HB Term Loan Agreement and the amendment of the HB Facility in the second quarter of 2007, there have been changes since December 31, 2006 in the total amount of HB’s contractual obligations and the amount of payments in accordance with those obligations compared with amounts reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. These updated obligations are as follows:
                                                         
    Payments Due by Period
            Next 12

Variable interest payments on term loan agreement
    48.1       9.4       8.9       8.5       8.5       8.5       4.3  
In addition, as a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, HB recognized an additional long-term liability of approximately $3.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of payments due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.

Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of HB’s contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 59 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $2.3 million for the first nine months of 2007 and are estimated to be an additional $2.6 million for the remainder of 2007. These planned capital expenditures are primarily for tooling for new products. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.
Capital Structure
Working capital is significantly affected by the seasonality of HB’s business. The following is a discussion of the changes in HB’s capital structure at September 30, 2007 compared with both September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

During the first nine months of 2007, HB significantly changed its capital structure by paying a special cash dividend of $110.0 million, which was financed with the HB Term Loan Agreement and resulted in reduced stockholder’s equity and increased total debt. The dividend payment represents a return to NACCO of a portion of its investment in HB. The amount of the payment was determined based on an evaluation of HB’s capital structure and anticipated future financial performance.

During the first nine months of 2007, HB significantly changed its capital structure by paying a special cash dividend of $110.0 million, which was financed with the HB Term Loan Agreement and resulted in reduced stockholder’s equity and increased total debt. The dividend payment represents a return to NACCO of a portion of its investment in HB. The amount of the payment was determined based on an evaluation of HB’s capital structure and anticipated future financial performance.
OUTLOOK
Current economic factors affecting U.S. consumers, such as high gasoline prices, depressed home sales and mortgage debt concerns, appear to be among factors unfavorably affecting sales volume at key retailers and creating a challenging environment at the retail level. In spite of these challenges, HB has secured strong placements and promotional programs for the fourth quarter of 2007.

Table of Contents

Over time, continued product innovation, promotions and branding programs at HB are expected to continue to strengthen its market positions. As a result of its ongoing focus on innovation, HB has a strong assortment of new products, which have been introduced during 2007, with further new product introductions in the pipeline for 2008 and 2009. The new products introduced in 2007, along with those products introduced in recent years, are expected to continue to generate additional product placements at retailers, resulting in increased revenues and operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 and in 2008.
HB has completed its transition out of manufacturing and moved the production of all products to third-party manufacturers. This transition and other programs initiated by HB, as well as anticipated increases in sales resulting from an improved mix of sales of higher-margin products, are expected to have a favorable impact on operating results over time. However, HB expects continued pricing pressure from suppliers for the remainder of 2007 and in 2008 due to increased commodity costs for resins, copper, steel and aluminum, which could partially offset expected improvements in operating results. HB will work to mitigate these increased costs through programs initiated in prior years to reduce costs, as well as through price increases when appropriate.
Longer term, HB will work to improve revenues and profitability continuously by focusing on producing innovative products and on cost-reduction and margin-enhancement programs while pursuing strategic growth opportunities.

THE KITCHEN COLLECTION, INC.
Third Quarter of 2007 Compared with Third Quarter of 2006
The following table identifies the components of the change in revenues for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Revenues  
2006
  $ 34.5

    0.4  
KCI closed stores

2007
  $ 46.6  
 
     
Revenues increased 35.1% in the third quarter of 2007 to $46.6 million compared with $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of the acquisition of certain assets of Le Gourmet Chef, Inc. (“LGC”) in August 2006 and the operation of 70 Le Gourmet Chef® stores as of September 30, 2007. Revenues also benefited from new stores opened in the third quarter of 2007 and increased KCI comparable store sales primarily as a result of higher average sales transactions. These effects were partially offset by KCI’s closed stores as the number of KCI stores declined to 199 at September 30, 2007 from 202 stores at September 30, 2006.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating loss for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:

Other
    (0.1 )
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ (0.9 )
 
     
KCI’s operating loss in the third quarter of 2007 was comparable with the third quarter of 2006. Comparable KCI and LGC store results improved mainly due to higher average sales transactions from price increases implemented in early 2007 as well as the favorable effect of adjustments made to the product offerings and the merchandising approach in KCI stores during 2006. The favorable impact of sales at KCI and LGC stores was offset by seasonal losses and incremental expenses for the integration of LGC and higher employee-related expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
KCI reported a net loss of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with a net loss of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2006, primarily from higher interest expense as a result of higher average outstanding borrowings.

Revenues increased 54.2% in the first nine months of 2007 to $125.2 million compared with $81.2 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily as a result of the acquisition of certain assets of LGC in August 2006 and the operation of 70 Le Gourmet Chef® stores as of September 30, 2007. Revenues also benefited from new KCI store sales and increased comparable store sales as a result of higher average sales transactions, partially offset by the impact of closed KCI stores. The number of KCI stores declined to 199 at September 30, 2007 from 202 stores at September 30, 2006.

KCI’s operating loss increased $6.1 million to $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2007, compared with $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2006. The increase was mainly a result of seasonal losses and incremental expenses for the integration of LGC and higher employee-related expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses. This increase was partially offset by improved results at comparable KCI and LGC stores mainly due to higher average sales transactions from price increases implemented in early 2007 as well as the favorable effect of adjustments made to the product offerings and the merchandising approach in KCI stores during 2006.
KCI reported a net loss of $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with a net loss of $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily due to the factors affecting operating loss and from higher interest expense as a result of higher average outstanding borrowings.

Net cash used for operating activities increased $25.6 million primarily due to working capital changes and the increase in the net loss. The change in working capital was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts payable during the first nine months of 2007 compared to an increase during the first nine months of 2006 and a smaller increase in inventory. The change in accounts payable was primarily due to a change in the timing of payments for inventory purchases in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 and the change in inventory was due to the requirement to replenish the LGC stores’ inventory after the acquisition in the third quarter of 2006.
The decrease in net cash used for investing activities was due to the acquisition of certain assets of LGC in August 2006 and expenditures required for the integration of LGC, including updating store point-of-sale and replenishment systems and the move of LGC’s headquarters to Chillicothe, Ohio. In addition, KCI increased expenditures for fixtures and equipment at new LGC stores.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $11.0 million in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 primarily from higher borrowings due to the change in the timing of payments for inventory purchases, partially offset by a decrease in intercompany loans.
Financing Activities
KCI’s financing is provided by a $40.0 million secured, floating-rate revolving line of credit (the “KCI Facility”) that expires in July 2010. The availability is derived from a borrowing base formula using KCI’s eligible inventory, as defined in the KCI Facility. At September 30, 2007, the borrowing base as defined in the KCI Facility was $29.7 million. Borrowings outstanding under the KCI Facility were $20.3 million at September 30, 2007. Therefore, at September 30, 2007, the excess availability under the KCI Facility was $9.4 million. The KCI Facility requires a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitment. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.15%. The KCI Facility includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit capital expenditures and require that borrowings do not exceed $6.5 million for 30 consecutive days from December 15 to February 13. The KCI Facility

also prohibits the payment of dividends to NACCO until December 2008, after which dividends to NACCO are limited based upon KCI’s fixed charge ratio. At September 30, 2007, KCI was in compliance with the covenants in the KCI Facility.
KCI believes funds available under the KCI Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the KCI Facility expires in 2010.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
As a result of KCI’s assumption of certain operating leases of LGC in the first quarter of 2007, there have been changes since December 31, 2006 in the total amount of KCI’s contractual obligations and the amount of payments in accordance with those obligations compared with amounts reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. These updated obligations are as follows:
                                                         
    Payments Due by Period

Operating leases
  $ 66.4     $ 16.7     $ 14.5     $ 11.6     $ 8.3     $ 6.2     $ 9.1  
Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of KCI’s contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 59 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2007 and are estimated to be an additional $1.9 million for the remainder of 2007. These planned capital expenditures are primarily for the continued integration of LGC, including updating store replenishment systems and for store fixtures and equipment at new or existing stores. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.
Capital Structure
Working capital is significantly affected by the seasonality of KCI’s business. The following is a discussion of the changes in KCI’s capital structure at September 30, 2007 compared with both September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

Total net tangible assets increased $9.3 million at September 30, 2007 compared with September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of a $13.4 million increase in inventory mainly due to the requirement to replenish the LGC stores’ inventory after the acquisition in the third quarter of 2006, partially offset by a $4.9 million increase in accounts payable primarily due to a change in the timing of payments for inventory purchases. Net advances from NACCO and other debt increased mainly as a result of the change in the timing of payments for inventory purchases.

Debt to total capitalization
    76 %     15 %     61 %
Total net tangible assets increased $23.2 million at September 30, 2007 compared with December 31, 2006, primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in inventory, a $6.8 million increase in net intercompany payables and receivables, a $3.5 million decrease in accounts payable and a $2.9 million decrease in other current liabilities. The increase in inventory was primarily due to the seasonality of the business, while the increase in net intercompany payables and receivables was a result of the timing of intercompany tax payments and receipts. The decrease in accounts payable was mainly from a change in the timing of payments for inventory purchases and the decrease in other current liabilities was due to the payment of sales taxes and profit sharing amounts that were accrued at December 31, 2006.
Advances from NACCO and other debt increased as a result of the financing of the acquisition of certain assets of LGC, the timing of payments for inventory purchases and the funding of operations through the first nine months of 2007. Stockholder’s equity decreased during the first nine months of 2007 primarily due to KCI’s net loss of $6.8 million.
OUTLOOK
Modest sales growth is expected in the outlet mall market for the fourth quarter of 2007. Gasoline prices and overall economic conditions are expected to continue to affect consumer traffic to outlet mall locations unfavorably.
KCI expects an increase in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the opening of seasonal store locations during the holiday season, sales at new stores opened since the fourth quarter of 2006 and higher average sales transactions resulting from improvements in merchandising. KCI also expects operating results for the Le Gourmet Chef® stores in the fourth quarter of 2007 to improve as KCI continues to work to offer a better mix of store inventory and to rebuild customer loyalty lost as a result of the bankruptcy before the acquisition by KCI.
The integration of LGC is on schedule and is expected to be completed by the end of 2007, with the exception of the distribution function, which is expected to be completed in late 2008. As a result, KCI expects the majority of the synergy benefits, excluding distribution synergies, from the integration of LGC will be achieved by mid-2008. However, achieving a net income level in 2007 similar to 2006 is unlikely because KCI has recognized eight additional months of seasonal operating losses at LGC during 2007 which were not incurred by KCI in 2006. In addition, KCI will incur increased interest expense resulting from additional borrowings for the purchase of LGC.
Longer term, KCI expects to continue programs in its Kitchen Collection® store format to enhance its merchandise mix, store displays and appearance and optimize store selling space. KCI also expects to achieve growth in the Le Gourmet Chef® outlet and traditional mall store formats, while maintaining disciplined cost control and increasing synergy values.

THE NORTH AMERICAN COAL CORPORATION
NACoal mines and markets lignite coal primarily as fuel for power generation and provides selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies. Lignite coal is surface mined in North Dakota, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Total coal reserves approximate 2.2 billion tons with approximately 1.1 billion tons committed to customers pursuant to long-term contracts. NACoal has six lignite coal mining operations: The Coteau Properties Company (“Coteau”), The Falkirk Mining Company (“Falkirk”), The Sabine Mining Company (“Sabine”), San Miguel Lignite Mining Operations (“San Miguel”), Red River Mining Company (“Red River”) and Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”). NACoal also provides dragline mining services for independently owned limerock quarries in Florida.
Three of NACoal’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Coteau, Falkirk, and Sabine (collectively, the “project mining subsidiaries”) meet the definition of a variable interest entity pursuant to FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and are accounted for by the equity method. The pre-tax earnings of the project mining subsidiaries are included on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the project mining subsidiaries as a component of operating profit because they are an integral part of the Company’s business and operating results. The investment in the project mining subsidiaries is included on the line “Other Non-current Assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Third Quarter of 2007 Compared with Third Quarter of 2006
The following table identifies the components of the change in revenues for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Revenues  
2006
  $ 38.1  
 
       
Increase (decrease) in 2007 from:
       
Consolidated coal mining operations
    (1.5 )
Royalty income
    (1.5 )
Limerock dragline mining operations
    (0.7 )
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ 34.4  
 
     
Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 decreased 9.7% to $34.4 million from $38.1 million in the third quarter of 2006. Revenues decreased mainly due to lower sales at the consolidated coal mining operations, a reduction in royalty income as a result of the completion of mining certain reserves and from fewer yards delivered at the limerock dragline mining operations primarily due to an unfavorable decision in the ongoing Florida litigation, which has reduced operations at some of the customers’ quarries. The decrease in sales at the consolidated coal mining operations was primarily due to a decrease in tons delivered at Red River as a result of an extended planned customer power plant outage, as well as reduced sales to third-parties.
The following table identifies the components of the change in operating profit for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006:
         
    Operating  
    Profit  
 
       
2006

Gain on sale of assets
    0.5  
Earnings of unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries
    0.4  
 
     
 
       
2007
  $ 10.6  
 
     
Operating profit decreased to $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2006, primarily from decreased consolidated coal and limerock mining operating profit primarily due to a decrease in tons delivered as a result of a planned customer power plant outage, as well as reduced sales to third-parties at Red River and a decrease in yards delivered at the limerock dragline mining operations as a result of an unfavorable decision in the ongoing Florida litigation, which has reduced operations at some of the customers’ quarries, partially offset by the impact of contractual price escalations at MLMC. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to higher employee-related expenses and professional fees. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of asset sales and contractual price escalations at the unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2007.
Net income increased to $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2007 from $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to lower income tax rates from the increased benefit of a percentage depletion tax deduction. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in operating profit for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006.

  $ 103.9  
 
     
Revenues for the first nine months of 2007 decreased 6.4% to $103.9 million from $111.0 million in the first nine months of 2006. Revenues decreased mainly due to lower sales at the consolidated coal mining operations and a reduction in royalty income as a result of the completion of mining certain reserves. The decrease in sales at the consolidated coal mining operations was primarily due to a decrease in tons delivered at Red River as a result of an extended planned customer power plant outage, as well as reduced sales to third parties. The decrease was partially offset by the impact of contractual price escalations at MLMC.

2007
  $ 33.1  
 
     
Operating profit increased to $33.1 million in the first nine months of 2007 from $31.1 million in the first nine months of 2006, primarily from the receipt of an arbitration award of $3.7 million to recover costs related to a power plant and mine development project in Turkey, which was undertaken and failed several years ago. See Note 13 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this transaction. The increase was also a result of lower selling, general and administrative expenses and from the gain on the sale of assets in the first nine months of 2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses improved mainly due to a decrease in professional fees and employee-related expenses. The increase was partially offset by the decrease at the consolidated coal and limerock mining operations primarily as a result of decreased tons delivered at Red River and fewer yards delivered at the limerock dragline mining operations primarily due to an unfavorable decision in the ongoing Florida litigation, which has reduced operations at some of the customers’ quarries.
Net income for the first nine months of 2007 increased to $24.4 million from $19.5 million for the first nine months of 2006 primarily due to the factors affecting operating profit, lower income tax rates from the increased benefit of a percentage depletion tax deduction and reduced interest expense.

Cash flow before financing activities
  $ 24.7     $ 22.0     $ 2.7  
 
                 
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of changes in working capital and the increase in net income partially offset by a decrease in other non-cash items for the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006. The change in working capital was primarily the result of the timing of receipts of accounts receivable. The change in other non-cash items was primarily due to the change in deferred taxes.
Capital expenditures for NACoal increased in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 primarily from higher levels of investments in equipment for its mines and mine development activities.

Net cash used for financing activities increased during the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 primarily due to increased dividends to NACCO partially offset by higher intercompany loans.
Financing Activities
NACoal has an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $75.0 million and an unsecured term loan of $35.0 million at September 30, 2007 (the “NACoal Facility”). The term loan requires annual repayments of $10.0 million and a final principal repayment of $15.0 million in March 2010. The NACoal Facility expires in March 2010. NACoal had $75.0 million of its revolving credit facility available at September 30, 2007.
The NACoal Facility has performance-based pricing, which sets interest rates based upon achieving various levels of debt to EBITDA ratios, as defined in the NACoal Facility. The NACoal Facility provides for, at NACoal’s option, Eurodollar loans which bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved and Base Rate loans which bear interest at Base Rates plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the NACoal Facility. A facility fee, which is determined based on the level of debt to EBITDA ratio achieved is also applied to the aggregate revolving line of credit. At September 30, 2007, term loan borrowings outstanding bore

interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% and the revolving credit interest rate was LIBOR plus 0.625%. At September 30, 2007, the revolving credit facility fee was 0.125% of the unused commitment of the revolving facility.
The NACoal Facility also contains restrictive covenants which require, among other things, NACoal to maintain certain debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage ratios and provides the ability to make loans, dividends and advances to NACCO, with some restrictions. Dividends to NACCO are limited based upon NACoal’s debt to EBITDA ratio. At September 30, 2007, NACoal was in compliance with the covenants in the NACoal Facility.
During 2004 and 2005, NACoal issued unsecured notes totaling $45.0 million in a private placement (the “NACoal Notes”), which require annual payments of approximately $6.4 million beginning in October 2008 and will mature on October 4, 2014. These unsecured notes bear interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 6.08%, payable semi-annually on April 4 and October 4. The NACoal Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of NACoal, in whole or in part, at an amount equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest plus a “make-whole premium,” if applicable. The NACoal Notes contain certain covenants and restrictions. These covenants require, among other things, NACoal to maintain certain net worth, leverage and interest coverage ratios, and limit dividends to NACCO. Dividends to NACCO are limited based upon NACoal’s leverage ratio. At September 30, 2007, NACoal was in compliance with the covenants in the NACoal Notes.
NACoal has a demand note payable to Coteau which bears interest based on the applicable quarterly federal short-term interest rate as announced from time to time by the Internal Revenue Service. At September 30, 2007, the balance of the note was $7.4 million and the interest rate was 4.88%.
NACoal has a collateralized note payable that expires in 2008 and requires a monthly principal and interest payment at a fixed interest rate of 5.21%. The balance of the note was $1.0 million at September 30, 2007.
NACoal believes funds available under the NACoal Facility and operating cash flows will provide sufficient liquidity to finance all of its scheduled loan principal repayments and its operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of the NACoal Facility in 2010.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
As a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, NACoal recognized an additional long-term liability of approximately $0.1 million for unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of payments due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.
Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of NACoal’s contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 66 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $14.0 million during the first nine months of 2007. NACoal estimates that its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2007 will be an additional $2.9 million, primarily for lignite coal reserves, equipment for mining activities and mine development activities. These expenditures are expected to be funded from internally generated funds and bank borrowings.
Capital Structure
NACoal’s capital structure is presented below:

Debt to total capitalization
    61 %     63 %     (2 )%
The increase in total net tangible assets of $14.4 million was primarily from a $12.6 million reduction of net intercompany payables and receivables primarily due to the payment during the first nine months of 2007 of

dividends which were declared during 2006 and a $6.2 million increase in property, plant and equipment mainly from the purchase of a dragline in the first nine months of 2007.
Stockholder’s equity increased primarily due to net income of $24.4 million partially offset by $15.6 million of dividends declared during the first nine months of 2007.
OUTLOOK
NACoal expects a moderate decrease in total lignite coal deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with 2006 as a result of fewer sales to third parties at Red River.
NACoal expects an improvement in operating results, excluding the benefit of a gain on the sale of a dragline in 2006 of $21.5 million, or $13.1 million net of taxes of $8.4 million, as a result of continued strong results at most of its mining operations and a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses. Contractual price escalation adjustments are expected to continue to provide compensation for increased materials, supplies and labor costs at all consolidated mining operations. The effective income tax rate in 2007 is also expected to decrease compared with 2006 as a result of the absence of items that unfavorably affected the 2006 effective income tax rate. Royalty income, however, is expected to decrease in 2007 from 2006 levels, and is expected to decrease further in 2008 from 2007 levels, primarily as a result of the completion of mining certain reserves in the second quarter of 2007.
In July 2007, a federal district court ruling ordered that mining cease in selected previously permitted areas in South Florida mined by NACoal for its customers. However, NACoal’s operations are not expected to be materially affected by the ruling in 2007. Further, NACoal’s customers continue to challenge this ruling vigorously and have appealed the unfavorable decision of the federal district court. Deliveries from the limerock dragline mining operations are expected to decrease moderately in the fourth quarter of 2007 as customer projections for 2007 continue to reflect the decline in the housing market. This decrease will be partially offset by customer requests to maximize inventory in advance of the decision related to the pending appeal.
Overall, NACoal expects strong performance from its current operations over the next few years. Over the longer term, NACoal expects to continue its efforts to develop new domestic coal projects and is encouraged that more new project opportunities may become available, including opportunities for coal-to-liquids, coal gasification and other clean coal technologies. Accordingly, expenditures for the development of additional uncommitted coal reserves are likely to be higher in 2007 compared with 2006. Further, NACoal continues to pursue additional non-coal mining opportunities.

NACCO AND OTHER
NACCO and Other includes the parent company operations and Bellaire Corporation (“Bellaire”), a non-operating subsidiary of NACCO.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operating Results
The results of operations at NACCO and Other were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30:
                                 
    THREE MONTHS   NINE MONTHS
    2007   2006   2007   2006
Revenues
  $     $     $     $  
Operating loss
  $ (0.8 )   $ (2.6 )   $ (3.0 )   $ (4.5 )
Other income
  $ 2.0     $ 0.6     $ 3.5     $ 1.6  
Net income (loss)
  $ 0.9     $ (1.9 )   $ (2.6 )   $ (4.5 )
Third Quarter of 2007 Compared with Third Quarter of 2006
The decrease in operating loss is primarily attributable to the absence of $2.0 million of transaction expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2006 related to the Applica transaction, partially offset by expenses of $0.4 million for professional fees in the third quarter of 2007 related to the decision not to proceed with the spin-off of Hamilton Beach to NACCO stockholders. The change in other income in the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006 was primarily due to increased interest income at the parent company from higher levels of cash investments and increased intercompany interest as a result of higher intercompany borrowings by the subsidiaries. The improvement in net income (loss) for the third quarter of 2007 compared with the third quarter of 2006 was primarily due to the items impacting operating loss and other income and from the absence of an unfavorable tax adjustment in the third quarter of 2006.
First Nine Months of 2007 Compared with First Nine Months of 2006
The decrease in operating loss in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 is primarily attributable to the absence of $2.2 million of transaction expenses recorded in the first nine months of 2006 related to the Applica transaction and lower employee-related expenses. The decrease was partially offset by $1.4 million for professional fees in the first nine months of 2007 related to the decision not to proceed with the spin-off of Hamilton Beach and the absence of a gain on the sale of an investment in the first nine months of 2006. The change in other income in the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to increased interest income at the parent company from higher levels of cash investments and increased intercompany interest as a result of higher intercompany borrowings at the subsidiaries. Additionally, Bellaire recorded interest income in the first nine months of 2007 from the United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund (the “Fund”) for interest on excess premiums previously paid. In December 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a favorable opinion that upheld a lower court’s decision to prohibit the Fund from applying higher premium rates established by the Social Security Administration. See additional discussion in Notes 5 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase in other income was partially offset by expenses for professional fees associated with the ongoing litigation related to the Applica transaction. The change in net loss for the first nine months of 2007 compared with the first nine months of 2006 was primarily due to the net effect of the items impacting operating loss and other income.
Management Fees
The parent company charges management fees to its operating subsidiaries for services provided by the corporate headquarters. The management fees are based upon estimated parent company resources devoted to providing centralized services and stewardship activities and are allocated among all subsidiaries based upon the relative size and complexity of each subsidiary. In order to determine the allocation of management fees among the subsidiaries each year, the parent company reviews the time its employees devoted to each operating subsidiary during the prior year and the estimated costs for providing centralized services and stewardship activities in the next year to determine the amount of management fees to allocate to each operating subsidiary for that year. In addition, the parent company reviews the amount of management fees allocated to its operating subsidiaries each quarter to ensure the amount continues to be reasonable based on the actual costs incurred to date. The Company believes the allocation method is consistently applied and reasonable.

NACoal

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Although NACCO’s subsidiaries have entered into substantial borrowing agreements, NACCO has not guaranteed the long-term debt or any borrowings of its subsidiaries. The borrowing agreements at NMHG, HB, KCI and NACoal allow for the payment to NACCO of management fees, dividends and advances under certain circumstances. Dividends, advances and management fees from its subsidiaries are the primary sources of cash for NACCO.
The Company believes funds available under its subsidiaries’ credit facilities and anticipated funds to be generated from operations are sufficient to finance all of its scheduled principal repayments, operating needs and commitments arising during the next twelve months and until the expiration of its subsidiaries’ credit facilities.
Contractual Obligations, Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
The Company previously disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 that NACCO and Other did not expect to contribute to its pension plans in 2007, however NACCO and Other elected to voluntarily contribute approximately $5.4 million to its pension plans in third quarter of 2007.
As a result of the adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, NACCO and Other recognized an additional long-term liability of approximately $0.2 million for unrecognized tax benefits. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of the timing of payments due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.
Since December 31, 2006, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of NACCO and Other contractual obligations, contingent liabilities or commercial commitments, or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations as reported on page 70 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Capital Structure
NACCO’s consolidated capital structure is presented below:
                         
    September 30     December 31        
    2007     2006     Change

    1,398.5       1,225.3       173.2  
Total debt
    (550.8 )     (416.5 )     (134.3 )
Closed mine obligations (Bellaire), net-of-tax
    (14.5 )     (15.7 )     1.2  
 
                 
 
                       
Stockholders’ equity
  $ 833.2     $ 793.1     $ 40.1  
 
                 
 
                       
Debt to total capitalization
    40 %     34 %     6 %
Total net tangible assets increased as of September 30, 2007 primarily due to the receipt by the parent company of $110.0 million of cash related to the special dividend paid by HB. Total debt also increased because the special cash dividend payment was financed by additional borrowings under the HB Term Loan Agreement.

OUTLOOK
During the fourth quarter of 2007, NACCO and Other results are expected to improve as a result of lower employee-related expenses, increased interest income and the absence of Applica transaction fees, which were incurred primarily in the fourth quarter of 2006.
EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY
NMHG and HB operate internationally and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, the Company is subject to the variability that arises from exchange rate movements. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on revenues, operating profit and net income at NMHG and HB are addressed in the previous discussions of operating results.

Item 1A Risk Factors
The Risk Factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 have not materially changed other than as set forth below.
HB is dependent on key customers and the loss of, or significant decline in business from, one or more of its key customers could materially reduce its revenues and profitability and its ability to sustain or grow its business.
HB relies on several key customers. Its five largest customers accounted for approximately 57%, 58% and 59% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Wal-Mart accounted for approximately 37%, 39% and 39% of HB’s net sales in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Although HB has long-established relationships with many customers, it does not have any long-term supply contracts with these customers, and purchases are generally made using individual purchase orders. A loss of any key customer could result in significant decreases in HB’s revenues and profitability and an inability to sustain or grow its business.
HB must receive a continuous flow of new orders from its large, high-volume retail customers; however, it may be unable to continually meet the needs of those customers. In addition, failure to obtain anticipated orders or delays or cancellations of orders or significant pressure to reduce prices from key customers could impair its ability to sustain or grow its business.
As a result of dependence on its key customers, HB could experience a material adverse effect on its revenues and profitability if any of the following were to occur:
    the insolvency or bankruptcy of any key customer;
 
    a declining market in which customers materially reduce orders or demand lower prices; or
 
    a strike or work stoppage at a key customer facility, which could affect both its suppliers and customers.
If HB were to lose, or experience a significant decline in business from, any major retail customer or if other major retail customers were to go bankrupt, HB might be unable to find alternate distribution sources.
