INDUSTRIES, INC. TERMINATES TENDER OFFER TO ACQUIRE<BR>APPLICA INCORPORATED</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>_____________________________</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 28pt"><B>CLEVELAND, OH, January&nbsp;23, 2007 </B>&#151; NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NC) announced today that it was
terminating its tender offer for the common stock of Applica Incorporated (NYSE: APN).</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commenting on the termination, Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of NACCO, said, &#147;We pursued the Applica transaction because we believed that there was a
good brand fit and high synergy value with our Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex business. The original
transaction approved by the Boards of Applica and NACCO provided for a spin-off of Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex and merger of Applica into Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex. We felt then and
continue to believe that this was a strategically and financially compelling transaction that
carried opportunity for significant value enhancement for shareholders of both Applica and NACCO.
Following Harbinger&#146;s cash offer of $6.00 per share and Applica&#146;s decision that it represented a
superior offer, we followed a disciplined and focused bidding process in order to acquire the
business at the lowest possible reasonable price, despite the fact that, we believe, our original merger agreement
was breached by Applica. However, the increase in the break-up fee payable to affiliates of
Harbinger to which Applica agreed last week had a negative effect on the bidding process
and we determined that further increases by us would not be in our shareholders&#146; best interests.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Hamilton
Beach/Procter-Silex is a very strong company with leading market
positions, excellent financial performance, experienced management and good
opportunities for continued growth. We will continue to develop and
evaluate potential initiatives for Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex based
on the long-term best interests of the business and
NACCO shareholders,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Rankin stated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NACCO also said that it intended to continue to pursue claims against Applica and
Harbinger-related entities in litigation it commenced in Delaware in November of 2006. There
can be no assurance as to the outcome of this litigation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The tender offer had been scheduled to expire on January&nbsp;29, 2007. Certificates for shares
tendered pursuant to NACCO&#146;s tender offer will be promptly
returned to Applica shareholders.
