</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Miramar, Florida </B>(January&nbsp;3, 2007) &#151; Applica Incorporated (NYSE: APN) today announced that it
has entered into a fourth amendment to its merger agreement with affiliates of Harbinger Capital
Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P.
(together, &#147;Harbinger Capital Partners&#148;) after receipt of an offer by Harbinger Capital Partners to
increase the merger consideration payable for all outstanding shares of Applica that it does not
currently own to $7.75 per share in cash.
</DIV>

<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 offer and amendment followed an increase to $7.75 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;Applica&#146;s Board has once again recommended that shareholders reject the revised NACCO
offer and NOT tender their shares in the NACCO offer.

Time on January&nbsp;4, 2007, as previously scheduled, and adjourn the special meeting until 11:00&nbsp;a.m.
Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, January&nbsp;10, 2007, without a vote on any proposal other than an
adjournment. The proposals to be considered at the special meeting will be submitted to a vote of
Applica&#146;s shareholders at the reconvened meeting at 11:00&nbsp;a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January&nbsp;10,
2007. The record date for the reconvened meeting will remain November&nbsp;27, 2006. Completion of the
