 subsidiary of APN Holding Company, Inc. into Applica on January 23, 2007 (the &quot;MERGER&quot;).   APN Holding Company, Inc. is
 wholly owned by Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (the &quot;MASTER FUND&quot;) and Harbinger Capital Partners Special
 Situations Fund, L.P. (&quot;SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Prior to the Merger, shares of Applica common stock were owned directly by the Master Fund and the Special Situations Fund.
 The securities directly owned by the Master Fund may be deemed to have been indirectly beneficially owned by Harbinger
 Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C. (&quot;HARBINGER MANAGEMENT&quot;), the investment manager of the Master Fund, HMC
 Investors, L.L.C., the managing member of Harbinger Management (&quot;HMC INVESTORS&quot;), and Harbert Management Corporation

 partner of the Special Situations Fund, HMC - New York, Inc. (&quot;HMC-NY&quot;), the managing member of SS-GP, and HMC, the parent

        <footnote id="F3">Philip Falcone is the portfolio manager of the Master Fund and the Special Situations Fund and is a shareholder of HMC.
 Raymond J. Harbert and Michael D. Luce are shareholders of HMC.  As a result, each of Messrs. Falcone, Harbert and Luce may
 also be deemed to have indirectly beneficially owned the securities owned directly by the Master Fund and the Special
 Situations Fund.</footnote>

 ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall
