</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Item&nbsp;4(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;As described in subsection (c)&nbsp;below, after careful consideration, the Applica board
determined at a meeting on January&nbsp;12, 2007, to recommend that Applica&#146;s shareholders reject the
NACCO offer and <U>not</U> tender their shares in the NACCO offer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Accordingly, the Applica board recommends that Applica&#146;s shareholders reject the NACCO offer
and </B><U><B>not</B></U><B> tender their shares in the NACCO offer.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, the Applica board reaffirms the Harbinger merger and recommends that Applica&#146;s
shareholders vote &#147;FOR&#148; the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October&nbsp;19,
2006, as amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 thereto, dated as of December&nbsp;14, 2006, Amendment No.&nbsp;2
thereto, dated as of December&nbsp;22, 2006, Amendment No.&nbsp;3 thereto, dated as of December&nbsp;27, 2006, and
Amendment No.&nbsp;4 thereto, dated as of January&nbsp;3, 2007, among Applica and certain affiliates of
Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., which are collectively referred to in this
Statement as Harbinger.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A press release communicating the Applica board&#146;s recommendation is filed as <U>Exhibit
(a)(15)</U>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Applica board also recommends that, even if a shareholder does not vote with respect to
the Harbinger merger agreement at this time, that such shareholder vote &#147;FOR&#148; the proposal to
adjourn or postpone the special meeting of Applica&#146;s shareholders, if necessary or appropriate, to
solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient shares present or represented at the meeting
to constitute a quorum or insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt the Harbinger
merger agreement or because the board, in its judgment, determines that an adjournment is required
by law or is otherwise in the best interests of Applica and its shareholders. The ability to
adjourn or postpone the special meeting will give the Applica board the flexibility to preserve the
existing transaction with Harbinger should the vote not be obtained by January&nbsp;17, 2007.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Item&nbsp;4(b) is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following paragraphs as
the final paragraphs thereto:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Late
in the afternoon of January&nbsp;11, 2007, NACCO sent Applica a letter (the &#147;NACCO Response Letter&#148;) responding to
the letter Applica sent NACCO on January&nbsp;9, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During the morning of January&nbsp;12, 2007, the Applica board held a meeting and discussed the
NACCO Response Letter, the offers from NACCO and Harbinger and Applica&#146;s obligations under the
Harbinger merger agreement. The meeting was attended by Applica&#146;s senior management and legal and
financial advisors, as well as a representative of the Applica board&#146;s independent legal

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">counsel. The Applica board reviewed and discussed the NACCO Response Letter and concluded
that, although such letter addressed certain of the Applica&#146;s
board concerns regarding a lack of
certainty that NACCO&#146;s revised offer would be consummated, it did not go far enough to remedy such concerns. The morning meeting was adjourned to
allow management and counsel to discuss with Harbinger&#146;s counsel
certain aspects of the Harbinger merger
agreement. Following such discussions, the Applica board meeting reconvened during the afternoon of
January&nbsp;12, 2007 to further discuss the offers from NACCO and Harbinger with management and the
legal and financial advisors. The Applica board determined
(i)&nbsp;that the Harbinger merger agreement is advisable for, fair to
and in the best interests of Applica&#146;s shareholders (other than Harbinger and its affiliates) and
(ii)&nbsp;to recommend that Applica&#146;s shareholders (A)&nbsp;vote &#147;FOR&#148; the adoption of the Harbinger merger
agreement and (B)&nbsp;reject the NACCO offer and <U>not</U> tender their shares in the NACCO offer.&#148;

    <TD><I>The Revised NACCO Offer Continues to Contain Certain Significant Conditions</I>. The
Applica board noted that the revised NACCO offer continues to contain certain
substantial conditions that create significant concerns as to whether the revised NACCO
offer can be completed particularly in light of the fact that
NACCO&#146;s tender offer price is less than 2% more than the per
share merger consideration payable in the Harbinger merger. Although NACCO has eliminated or revised certain conditions
precedent to make such conditions more comparable to the conditions to the Harbinger
merger and had further indicated in the NACCO Response Letter a willingness to modify
certain of the conditions in the context of a merger agreement between Applica and
NACCO, the Applica board believes that the following conditions of the revised NACCO
offer remain an unacceptable risk to consummation of such offer:</TD>

    <TD>Applica&#146;s board believes that the Minimum Condition,
which requires a majority of Applica&#146;s outstanding shares of
common stock on a fully diluted basis to be tendered, presents a
significant risk that the revised NACCO offer will not be
consummated, especially in light of Harbinger&#146;s ownership of
approximately 39% of Applica&#146;s outstanding common stock. Assuming that Harbinger does not tender the shares of
common stock that it currently owns, the Minimum Condition will not be satisfied
unless approximately 81% to 86% percent of the remaining currently outstanding shares
of Applica&#146;s common stock are tendered. The Applica board noted that data available
to the Applica board indicate tender offer response rates rarely exceed the mid 90%
range. More importantly, the Applica board noted that the voting response rate to
the current Applica proxy solicitation appears to be less than 65% of the
shares not owned by Harbinger (on a fully diluted basis); accordingly, the Applica
board believes that there is a considerable risk that the Minimum Condition will not
be satisfied.</TD>

    <TD>The No Adverse Change Condition does not exclude effects arising out of the
announcement or pendency of a potential transaction with NACCO. The
Applica board believes that the announcement of a potential transaction with NACCO may result
in a substantial loss of key employees and other adverse effects on Applica&#146;s
business. Although it is impossible to assess whether such adverse effects will
occur, such potential risks have not yet been identified as risks to consummation of
the Harbinger merger. If such an adverse impact did occur after the announcement of a
potential transaction with NACCO, NACCO could assert that the No Adverse Change
Condition was not satisfied and, as a result, not consummate the
revised NACCO offer. Applica
requested that NACCO revise the No Adverse Change Condition such that adverse changes
resulting from the transaction itself cannot be asserted to avoid completion of the
NACCO offer. In the NACCO Response Letter, NACCO indicated a willingness to make</TD>

mutually acceptable agreement with respect to the scope of the requested exclusions.

consummation of the NACCO offer that is not present with respect to the Harbinger

    <TD><I>Uncertainty Harmful to Applica&#146;s Business. </I>The
uncertainty regarding the ownership
of Applica has strained Applica&#146;s relationships with certain of its significant
customers, adversely affected Applica&#146;s ability to operate its business in the ordinary
course and has had a negative impact upon Applica&#146;s ability to
attract new employees and to
fill vacant employment positions. In light of the these threats to Applica&#146;s business
caused by such uncertainty, the Applica board believes that it is imperative to
consummate a transaction as promptly as practicable. The Applica board believes that
NACCO continues to insist upon conditions that are not likely
to be satisfied. In an attempt to terminate the now protracted period of uncertainly regarding the ownership of
Applica, during which period the original $6.00 per share price to be offered to
Applica&#146;s shareholders by Harbinger has increased to $7.75 under the Harbinger merger
agreement, Applica reiterated to NACCO the Applica board&#146;s determination that the NACCO
offer, as currently structured, fails to provide sufficient certainty of completion and
demanded that NACCO inform the Applica board whether it is willing to amend its offer to
remedy these concerns. Although the NACCO Response Letter addressed certain of the
Applica board&#146;s concerns regarding closing certainty, it did not go far enough to remedy
such concerns. There is significantly less uncertainty associated with the consummation
of the Harbinger merger; in fact, Applica believes that, subject to
receipt of shareholder approval, substantially all conditions
precedent to the consummation of the Harbinger merger have been or
will be satisfied. Accordingly, Applica currently anticipates that the
merger with Harbinger would be completed not later than the day after the shareholder
meeting assuming that the requisite shareholder approval were obtained. To avoid the
increasing risk of harm to Applica&#146;s business and the attendant risks to the completion
of a sale of Applica at the current favorable price level, the Applica board believes
that a consummation of a transaction with Harbinger is in the best interests of Applica
and its shareholders.</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although the Applica board recognizes that the revised NACCO offer, if consummated, may
provide greater consideration to Applica&#146;s shareholders, given (i)&nbsp;the continuing uncertainty as to
whether certain of the conditions precedent to the revised NACCO offer, in particular the Minimum
Condition, can be satisfied and (ii)&nbsp;the risks to Applica&#146;s business inherent in not consummating
a transaction as promptly as practicable, the Applica board believes it serves the best interests
of Applica&#146;s shareholders to reject the revised NACCO offer. While Applica has communicated its
concerns to NACCO, NACCO&#146;s refusal to fully address these concerns, in particular the Minimum
Condition, and the No Adverse Change Condition presents, in the Applica board&#146;s view, unacceptable
risks that NACCO&#146;s marginally higher offer (less than 2% of the
Harbinger per share merger price) cannot
be completed. Most importantly, assuming Harbinger does not tender its
shares to NACCO, unless in excess of 81% of Applica&#146;s remaining
shares were tendered, the Minimum
Tender Condition would not be satisfied and the NACCO offer would not be consummated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accordingly, the Applica board recommends that Applica&#146;s shareholders reject the revised NACCO
offer and <U>not</U> tender their shares pursuant to the NACCO offer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preceding discussion of the reasons for the Applica board&#146;s recommendation includes all
material factors and information considered by the Applica board in making its recommendation, but
is not, and is not intended to be, exhaustive. In light of the variety of factors considered in
connection with its evaluation of the revised NACCO offer and the complexity of these matters, the
Applica board did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign
relative weights to the various factors considered in reaching its determination, and individual
directors may have given different weight to different factors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Applica board reserves the right to revise this recommendation in the event of changed
circumstances, if any. Any such change in the recommendation of the Applica board will be
communicated to shareholders as promptly as practicable in the event that such a determination is
reached.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>Applica Board Recommends that Shareholders Vote For the<BR>
Merger with Harbinger Capital Partners</B>
</DIV>

January&nbsp;17, 2007</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Miramar, Florida </B>(January&nbsp;12, 2007) &#151; Applica Incorporated (NYSE: APN) today announced that
Applica&#146;s Board has once again recommended that shareholders reject the revised offer announced by
NACCO on January&nbsp;9, 2007 and NOT tender their shares in the NACCO offer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The recommendation is being made despite an increase to $7.90 per share of the price of the
unsolicited tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Applica&#146;s common stock that was
commenced by Apex Acquisition Corporation, a newly formed Florida corporation and an indirect,
wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board reached its determination based, among other factors, on its belief that the revised
NACCO offer includes a number of conditions that create significant concerns as to whether the
revised NACCO offer can be completed, especially when considered in light of the fact that NACCO&#146;s
increased offer is less than 2% more than the consideration to be paid in the merger with
affiliates of Harbinger Capital Partners. In particular, the Board believes that NACCO&#146;s minimum
tender condition, which requires that a majority of Applica&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock on
a fully diluted basis be tendered, presents a significant risk that the NACCO tender offer will not
be consummated, especially in light of Harbinger Capital Partners&#146; ownership of approximately 39%
of Applica&#146;s outstanding common stock and its existing merger agreement with Applica. More
detailed information on the Board&#146;s recommendation can be found in Applica&#146;s amended Solicitation/
Recommendation Statement on Schedule&nbsp;14D-9 filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(available at www.sec.gov) and posted on the Investor Relations page of Applica&#146;s website
(www.applicainc.com).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Applica Board of Directors recommends that Applica shareholders vote &#147;FOR&#148; the adoption of
the amended merger agreement between Applica and affiliates of Harbinger Capital Partners.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The meeting of shareholders scheduled for January&nbsp;17, 2007 for the purpose of approving the

the January&nbsp;17<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> meeting, is subject to customary closing conditions. Applica believes
that, subject to the receipt of the requisite shareholder vote at the meeting, substantially all of
these conditions have been or will be satisfied.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to vote their shares in favor of the Harbinger Capital Partners agreement,
