INTRODUCTORY NOTE

     Lennox International Inc. (“LII” or the “Company”) is filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and the restatement of its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.

     The following discussion details certain public disclosures LII has made regarding the restatement and the subsequent delay in filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

    On March 11, 2004, LII furnished a Current Report on Form 8-K that included a press release announcing that its unaudited earnings for 2003 would be revised pending completion of an internal inquiry being conducted by the Audit Committee of LII’s Board of Directors.

    On August 18, 2004, LII reported unaudited first and second quarter 2004 earnings results and on August 19, 2004 held a publicly accessible teleconference call to discuss the quarterly results. During the teleconference, LII indicated the investigation was complete and that it would file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first and second quarters of 2004 with the SEC as soon as possible.

    On October 21, 2004, LII filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

    On November 9, 2004, LII filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004. Also, on November 9, 2004, LII filed a notification of late filing on Form 12b-25 disclosing that LII was delaying the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, but expects to file the third quarter Form 10-Q within the allowed extension period specified in Rule 12b-25(b)(2)(ii).

     The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 contained in this quarterly report supersede the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that was previously filed on November 13, 2003 (“Original Filing”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements and financial information contained in the Original Filing have been revised herein to reflect the restatement adjustments described in Note 2 of its consolidated financial statements. LII does not intend to amend its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the restatement that ended prior to December 31, 2003. As a result, the financial statements and related information contained in such reports referenced above should no longer be relied upon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and other Accounting Information:

     The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 should be read in conjunction with Lennox International Inc.’s (the “Company” or “LII”) audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

     Certain prior-period balances in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation of financial information. These reclassifications, primarily for discontinued operations as described in Note 10, have no impact on total assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, net income or cash flows. Unless otherwise indicated, all relevant financial and statistical information included herein relates to our continuing operations.

     The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year, and the Company’s quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout these financial statements, the 13 weeks comprising each three-month period are denoted by the last day of the respective calendar quarter.

2. Restatement of Previously-Issued Financial Statements:

     In LII’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company reported that its previously released, unaudited earnings for 2003 were revised and its 2002 financial statements were restated, as a result of the completion of an inquiry by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors related to the Canadian service centers in its Service Experts business segment. The cumulative financial impact of this inquiry totaled $7.0 million comprising an increase of $7.6 million over previously reported unaudited net income for the year ended December 31, 2003, and a reduction of $14.6 million in previously reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2002 and prior years.

     Additionally, the Company’s unaudited 2003 quarterly financial information was restated to reflect adjustments to the Company’s previously reported unaudited financial information on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present the restated results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 after adjustments for corrected treatment of purchase accounting, recording items in the proper period, revaluations of key judgment accounts and changes in significant estimates, uncertainties and judgments, net of related tax effects. The financial impact of the adjustments for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was an increase in previously reported unaudited net income of $4.5 million, which included reductions in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $5.6 million, Interest Expense, net of $0.2 million and Provision for Income Taxes of $0.3 million offset by a reduction in Gross Profit of $1.6 million. The financial impact of the adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was an increase in previously reported unaudited net income of $4.2 million, which included reductions in SG&A expense of $7.5 million, Interest Expense, net of $0.5 million and Provision for Income Taxes of $3.8 million offset by a reduction in Gross Profit of $7.6 million. The change in Provision for Income Taxes discussed above was primarily related to the overall tax rate reduction for the year associated with reduced foreign losses.

3. Stock-Based Compensations:

     The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations (“APB 25”) and has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended (“SFAS No. 123”). Under APB 25, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income for grants of stock options to employees because the Company grants stock options with an exercise price equal to the market value of the stock on the date of grant. Had the Company used the fair value based accounting method for stock compensation expense described by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s diluted net income per common and equivalent share are shown in the pro-forma amounts below (in millions, except per share data):
