NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2004
(Tabular Amounts in Millions, Except Per Share and Percentage Data)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NACCO Industries, Inc. (“NACCO,” the parent company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“NACCO Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries,” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s subsidiaries operate in three principal industries: lift trucks, housewares and lignite mining. The Company manages its subsidiaries primarily by industry; however, the Company manages its lift truck operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing and retail distribution.

NMHG Holding Co., through its wholly owned subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (collectively “NMHG”), designs, engineers, manufactures, sells, services and leases a comprehensive line of lift trucks and aftermarket parts marketed globally under the Hyster® and Yale® brand names. Lift trucks and component parts are manufactured in the United States, Northern Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, China, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines and Brazil. NMHG manages its operations as two reportable segments: wholesale manufacturing (“NMHG Wholesale”) and retail distribution (“NMHG Retail”). NMHG Wholesale includes the manufacture and sale of lift trucks and related service parts, primarily to independent and wholly owned Hyster and Yale retail dealerships. NMHG Retail includes the sale, leasing and service of Hyster and Yale lift trucks and related service parts by wholly owned retail dealerships and rental companies. NACCO Housewares Group (“Housewares”) consists of Hamilton BeachwProctor-Silex, Inc. (“HBwPS”), a leading designer, manufacturer, importer and marketer of small electric kitchen and household appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels, and The Kitchen Collection, Inc. (“KCI”), a national specialty retailer of brand-name kitchenware, small electric appliances and related accessories. The North American Coal Corporation (“NACoal”) mines and markets lignite coal primarily as fuel for power generation and provides selected value-added mining services for other natural resources companies.

During 2003, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN No. 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” for certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. As a result of the adoption of FIN No. 46, the Company has deconsolidated three of NACoal’s wholly owned subsidiaries: The Coteau Properties Company, The Falkirk Mining Company, and The Sabine Mining Company (collectively, the “project mining subsidiaries”). The deconsolidation of the project mining subsidiaries has changed the financial statement presentation of the Company but has not resulted in any change to consolidated net earnings. The Company has elected to restate previously reported quarterly results for 2003 as encouraged by FIN No. 46. The pre-tax earnings of the project mining subsidiaries are included on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the project mining subsidiaries above operating profit, as they are an integral component of the Company’s business and operating results. The investment in the project mining subsidiaries is included on the line “Other Non-current Assets” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See further discussion of the adoption of FIN No. 46 in Note 2.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2004 and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2004.

Table of Contents

The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information or notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2004. Because the housewares business is seasonal, a majority of revenues and operating profit occurs in the second half of the calendar year when sales of small electric appliances to retailers and consumers increase significantly for the fall holiday selling season. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Certain amounts in the prior period’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2003 have been restated to reflect the adoption of FIN No. 46.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FIN No. 46, issued in January 2003, clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” for certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities, as defined, be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is defined as the entity that is expected to absorb the majority of the expected losses, receive a majority of the expected gains, or both.

Three of NACoal’s wholly owned subsidiaries, the “project mining subsidiaries,” meet the definition of a variable interest entity pursuant to FIN No. 46. The project mining subsidiaries were developed between 1974 and 1981 and operate lignite coal mines under long-term contracts with various utility customers. The contracts with the project mining subsidiaries’ utility customers allow each mine to sell lignite coal at a price based on actual cost plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton. The taxes resulting from earnings of the project mining subsidiaries are solely the responsibility of the Company. These entities are capitalized primarily with debt financing, which the utility customers have arranged and guaranteed. The obligations of the project mining subsidiaries are without recourse to NACCO and NACoal. Although NACoal owns 100% of the stock and manages the daily operations of these entities, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities of the project mining subsidiaries or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the utility customers. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and thus must deconsolidate these entities. The Company’s risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital, which was $4.1 million at March 31, 2004 and $4.9 million at December 31, 2003.

The Company elected to adopt FIN No. 46 effective January 1, 2002 as encouraged by FIN No. 46 and restated the financial results for each of the quarters in the nine months ended September 30, 2003, including the three months ended March 31, 2003 in this Form 10-Q. Subsequent to the adoption of FIN No. 46, the pre-tax income from the project mining subsidiaries is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated project mining subsidiaries” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with related taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The assets and liabilities of the project mining subsidiaries are no longer consolidated in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but the investment in the project mining subsidiaries and related tax assets and liabilities are included. As a result of the deconsolidation of these entities, the financial statement presentation of the Company has changed significantly. However, consolidated reported net earnings have not changed.

In addition, NMHG’s 20% joint venture, NMHG Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), has been determined to be a variable interest entity. The Company, however, has concluded that NMHG is not the primary beneficiary and will, therefore, continue to use the equity method to account for its 20% interest in NFS. NMHG does not consider its variable interest in NFS to be significant.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 132 (Revised) (“Revised SFAS No. 132”), “Employer’s Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits.” Revised SFAS No. 132 retains disclosure requirements about pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans. Revised SFAS No. 132 requires additional disclosures in annual financial statements about the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement benefit plans. Revised SFAS No. 132 also requires interim disclosure of the elements of net periodic benefit cost and the total amount of contributions paid or expected to be paid during the current year if significantly different from amounts previously disclosed. The interim disclosure requirements of Revised SFAS No. 132 are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The Company has made the required interim disclosures in Note 7 to these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 12, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.” This FSP allows companies to make a one-time election to defer the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Act”) that was signed into law on December 8, 2003.

SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions,” requires presently enacted changes in relevant laws to be considered in current period measurements of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the net postretirement benefit costs. The FSP addresses the fact that certain accounting issues raised by the Act are not explicitly addressed in SFAS No. 106 and significant uncertainties may exist as to the direct effects of the Act, as well as the ancillary effects on plan participants’ behavior and health care costs. Therefore, a plan sponsor and its advisors may not have (1) sufficiently reliable information available to measure the effects of the Act, (2) sufficient time before issuance of the financial statements for fiscal years that include the Act’s enactment to prepare actuarial valuations that reflect the effects of the Act, or (3) sufficient guidance to ensure that the sponsor’s accounting for the effects of the Act is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As a result, a plan sponsor may elect to defer recognizing the effects of the Act in accounting for its plan under SFAS No. 106 and in providing disclosures related to the plan required by Revised SFAS No. 132, until authoritative guidance on accounting for certain components of the Act is issued, or until certain other events occur. The Company has elected to defer accounting for the Act until further authoritative guidance is issued.

On July 1, 2003, the Company prospectively adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF No. 00-21 addresses when and how an arrangement involving multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting, as well as how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
