NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and other Accounting Information:

     The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 should be read in conjunction with Lennox International Inc.’s (the “Company” or “LII”) audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. 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.

     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. 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):

                 
    For the  
    Three Months Ended

5. Shipping and Handling:

     Shipping and handling costs related to post-production activities are included as part of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations in the following amounts (in millions):

           
For the Three Months Ended March 31  
2005   2004  
$ 33.9   $ 32.7  

6. Warranties:

     The changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s total warranty liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are as follows (in millions):

         
Total warranty liability at December 31, 2004
  $ 71.0  
Payments made in 2005
    (6.6 )
Changes resulting from issuance of new warranties
    5.9  
Changes in estimates associated with pre-existing warranties
    1.3  
 
     
Total warranty liability at March 31, 2005
  $ 71.6  
 
     

     The change in warranty liability that results from changes in estimates of warranties issued prior to 2005 was primarily due to revaluing warranty reserves based on higher material input costs.

7. Cash, Lines of Credit and Financing Arrangements:

     The Company has bank lines of credit aggregating $258.6 million, of which $9.8 million was borrowed and outstanding and $95.7 million was committed to standby letters of credit at March 31, 2005. Of the remaining $153.1 million, the entire amount was available for future borrowings after consideration of covenant limitations. Included in the lines of credit are several regional facilities and a multi-currency facility in the amount of $225 million governed by agreements between the Company and a syndicate of banks. The facility includes restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, encumber its assets, sell its assets, or pay dividends. There are no required payments prior to the expiration of the facility. The Company’s facility and promissory notes are secured by the stock of the Company’s major subsidiaries. The facility requires that LII deliver annual and quarterly financial statements, as well as compliance certificates, to the banks within a specified period of time. LII believes that cash flow from operations, as well as available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund its operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has included in cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2005, $24.1 million of restricted cash primarily related to letters of credit issued with respect to the operations of its captive insurance subsidiary ending December 30, 2005.

8. Accounts and Notes Receivable:

     Accounts and Notes Receivable have been shown net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $17.5 million and $18.5 million, and net of accounts receivable sold under an ongoing asset securitization arrangement of $5.0 million and zero as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. In addition, approximately $210 million of accounts receivable as reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2005 represent retained interests in securitized receivables that have restricted disposition rights per the terms of the asset securitization agreement and would not be available to satisfy obligations to creditors. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk within its accounts and notes receivable.

9. Divestitures:

     In the first fiscal quarter of 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a turnaround plan designed to improve the performance of its Service Experts business segment. The plan realigns Service Experts’ dealer service centers to focus on service and replacement opportunities in the residential and light commercial markets. The Company identified 130 dealer service centers, whose primary business is residential and light commercial service and replacement, which comprise the ongoing Service Experts business segment. As of December 31, 2004, the Company divested the remaining 48 centers, in addition to the previously announced closure of four centers. The 48

centers that are no longer a part of Service Experts have been classified as a Discontinued Operation in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The related assets and liabilities for these centers are classified as “Assets Held For Sale” and “Liabilities Held For Sale” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10. Earnings per Share:

     Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income, adjusted for the interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s convertible notes, by the sum of the weighted average number of shares and the number of equivalent shares assumed outstanding, if dilutive, under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and convertible notes. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” requires that contingently convertible debt securities with a market price trigger be included in diluted earnings per share, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. The number of shares attributable to convertible notes is 7,947,478. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had 65,020,875 shares outstanding of which 3,106,822 were held as treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share are computed as follows (in millions, except per share data):
