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, if they are dilutive, regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. TheAs of June 30, 2005, the number of shares attributable to convertible notes iswas 7,947,478. As of March 31,June 30, 2005, the Company had 65,020,87565,171,639 shares outstanding of which 3,106,8223,107,074 were held as treasury shares.

12. Goodwill:

     The Company evaluates the impairment of goodwill under the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) for each of its reporting units. As a result of the annual impairment tests required by SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded an impairment charge in the first quarter of 2004 associated with its Service Experts segment. This impairment charge reflected the segment’s performance below management’s expectations and management’s decision to divest of 48 centers that no longer matched the realigned Service Experts business model (seemodel. See Note 9).9 — Divestitures. The impairment test requires a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of the units with goodwill against their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of its Service Experts segment using the income method of valuation, which includes the use of estimated discounted cash flows. Based on the comparison, the carrying value of Service Experts exceeded its fair value. Accordingly, the Company performed the second step of the test, comparing the implied fair value of Service Experts goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $208.3 million ($185.1 million, net of tax), which is included as a component of operating income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company also recognized a $13.3 million ($11.8 million, net of tax) goodwill impairment charge arising from goodwill allocated to centers held for sale. This amount is included as a part of loss from discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that no further impairment charge was required.

     In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. In January 2004, Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. FAS 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“SFAS 106”) was issued and itwhich permits a sponsor of a postretirement health care plan that provides a prescription drug benefit to make a one-time election to defer accounting for the effects of the Act. The Company has elected not to reflect the changes in the Act as the effects of the Act are not a significant event that calls for remeasurement under FASSFAS 106. Therefore, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and net postretirement benefit costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and above disclosure do not reflect the effects of the Act on the Company’s plans.

14. Investments in Affiliates:

     For theits investments in four joint ventures, with Outokumpu Oyj and LII’s other joint venture investments, the Company records its equity in the earnings of the joint ventures as a component of selling, generalSelling, General and administrative expenseAdministrative Expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded $4.6$8.2 million and $3.1$6.9 million of equity in the earnings of its affiliates for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     The Company owns a 20% common stock ownership interest in Kulthorn Kirby Public Company Limited, a Thailand company engaged in the manufacture of compressors for refrigeration applications. The Company previously accounted for its investment in Kulthorn Kirby Public Company Limited as a marketable equity security investment. In October 2004, the Company purchased an additional 1.3% common stock interest for $1.5 million. The Company has adjusted prior years’ information to reflect the change to equity accounting. The change increased earnings of affiliates by $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
     The carrying amount of investments in affiliates as of March 31,June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is $67.4was $40.4 million and $63.0 million, respectively, and is included in long-term Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The decrease in the investment in affiliates from December 31, 2004 to June 30, 2005 was primarily due to the sale of the Company’s 45% interest in its heat transfer joint venture to Outokumpu Copper Products OY of Finland. See Note 9 — Divestitures.

15. Contingencies:

     The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. In addition, the Company and its subsidiary Heatcraft Inc. have been named in four lawsuits in connection with its former heat transfer operations. The lawsuits allege personal injury resulting from alleged emissions of trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene and vinyl chloride and other unspecified emissions from the South Plant in Grenada, Mississippi, previously owned by Heatcraft Inc. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters; however, based on present knowledge, management believes that it is unlikely that resolution of these matters will result in a material liability for the Company. As of March 31,June 30, 2005, no accrual has been made for these matters. The Company anticipates the future legal fees in defense of these matters could be significant.

11


     The Company has issued guarantees to third parties in conjunction with the debt of one of the Company’s affiliates. The liability recognized at March 31, 2005 related to these guarantees is approximately $0.2 million. The maximum obligation under these guarantees is approximately $4.2 million. No assets are held as collateral.

16. Subsequent Events:

Outokumpu Joint Venture Sale

     On April 5, 2005, the Company announced that Outokumpu Copper Products OY of Finland had exercised its option to purchase the Company’s 45 percent interest in their heat transfer joint venture for approximately $39 million. The transaction is conditioned on the sale of Outokumpu Copper Products OY to Nordic Capital. The financial impact of this transaction is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s 2005 financial performance, excluding an anticipated gain on the sale, which will be quantified when the transaction is completed. The Company expects the transaction to be completed in the second quarter of 2005.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

     LII participates in four reportable business segments of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”) industry. The first reportable segment is Residential Heating & Cooling, in which LII manufactures and markets a full line of heating, air conditioning and hearth products for the residential replacement and new construction markets in the United States and Canada. The second reportable segment is Commercial Heating & Cooling, in which LII manufactures and sells primarily rooftop products and related equipment for light commercial applications. Combined, the Residential Heating & Cooling and Commercial Heating & Cooling segments form LII’s Heating and Cooling business. The third reportable segment is Service Experts, which includes sales and installation of, and maintenance and repair services for, HVAC equipment. The fourth reportable segment is Refrigeration, in which LII manufactures and sells unit coolers, condensing units and other commercial refrigeration products.

     Improving the performance of the Service Experts business segment remains a top priority of LII’s management. In the first fiscal quarter of 2004, LII’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. LII identified approximately 130 dealer service centers, whose primary business is residential and light commercial service and replacement, whichreplacement. These centers comprise the ongoing Service Experts business segment. As of the end ofDecember 31, 2004, LII hashad divested the remaining 48 centers. The operating results of the 48 centers that are no longer a part of Service Experts are classified as a discontinued operation.Discontinued Operation. See “Results of Operations Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2004 — Loss from Discontinued Operations” and “ — Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 — Loss from Discontinued Operations” for more detail regarding Service Experts’ discontinued operations.

     In addition to the realignment of dealer service centers discussed above, the Service Experts business segment continues to implement the rollout of a program focused on the sharing of best practices across all residential service and replacement service centers. This rollout began mid-year in 2003 and was completed at most of the U. S.U.S. service centers in the third quarter of 2004. Rollout of the program to the Service Experts Canadian service centers is currently underway.underway and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2005. Other initiatives in 2005 include raising visibilityincreasing focus on revenue generating activities and continuing to strengthen the leadership at Service Experts through its general manager development program. This general manager development program graduated its first class in the latter part of 2004 and its second class during the first quarter of 2005. These general managers have assumed leadership positions at dealer service centers.

A third class is scheduled to commence during the third quarter of 2005.

     During the first quarter of 2004, LII evaluated the impairment of goodwill under the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), and determined that the carrying value of Service Experts’ goodwill exceeded its fair value. As a result, LII recorded a pre-tax, non-cash charge of $208.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004 in the Company’s Service Experts business segment. The impairment charge was driven primarily by lower than expected operating results as well as the turnaround plan discussed above. The tax benefit of this charge was $23.2 million. The $208.3 million pre-tax goodwill impairment charge is included in LII’s operating lossLoss from continuing operationsContinuing Operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004. Subsequent to the recognition of the $208.3 million goodwill impairment under SFAS No. 142 and as part of the realignment of service centers discussed above, LII also recognized $13.3 million in pre-tax goodwill impairment included in its $20.1$23.1 million pre-tax loss on discontinued operations under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), resulting in a total pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $221.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, LII performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that no further goodwill impairment was necessary.

     Due to competitive cost pressures, on April 4, 2005, Lennox Hearth Products Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced plans to relocate its Whitfield pellet stove and Lennox cast iron stove product lines from Burlington, Washington to a third party production facility in Juarez, Mexico, discontinue its existing steel wood stove line manufactured in Burlington and close the facility dueBurlington facility. Although these actions were substantially complete as of June 30, 2005, the Company anticipates additional expenses will be recorded during the second half of 2005; however, the total of such expenses is not expected to competitive cost pressures.be material. In connection with the plant closure, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring-related charges of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 which are included in Restructuring Charge in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The tax benefit of this charge was $0.8 million.

     On April 5,June 2, 2005, the Company announced that Harry J. Ashenhurst, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer, would assume the additional responsibility of President and Chief Operating Officer of LII’s Refrigeration business segment while the Company conducts an internal and external search for a permanent replacement.
     On June 7, 2005, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its 45% interest in its heat transfer joint venture to Outokumpu Copper Products OY of Finland had exercised its option to purchase(Outokumpu) for $39.3 million and the Company’s 45 percent interestCompany recorded a pre-tax gain of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, which is included in their heat transfer joint venture for approximately $39 million. For more information on these two events, see Note 16 titled “Subsequent Events”(Gains), Losses and Other Expenses, Net in the Notesaccompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The income tax provision on this gain was $2.3 million. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into an agreement with Outokumpu related to Consolidated Financial Statements.

joint remediation of certain existing environmental matters. In conjunction with the new agreement, the Company updated its estimate of its portion of the on-going remediation costs and recorded pre-tax expenses of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The income tax benefit of the remediation expenses was $0.8 million.

     On April 2, 2004 the Department of Energy announced that it will enforce a 13 seasonal energy efficiency rating or “SEER” standard for residential central air conditioners. This standard, which will apply to central air conditioners manufactured after January 23, 2006, increases by 30 percent the SEER standard that applies to models produced currently. Although this new standard creates several engineering, manufacturing and marketing challenges for the Company, the Company anticipates it will meet the new regulation by January 23, 2006. The

13


Company is also using the new standard as an opportunity to redesign its entire line of cooling products to standardize product platforms across its brands and to integrate other improvements in its products. The Company projects total expenditures for property, plant and equipment in 2005 to be approximately $80.0$80 million, driven largely by increased expenditures in connection with this redesign effort.

     LII’s customers include distributors, installing dealers, property owners, national accounts and original equipment manufacturers. LII recognizes sales revenue when products are shipped or when services are rendered. The demand for LII’s products and services is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic factors, such as interest rates, the availability of financing, regional population and employment trends, new construction, general economic conditions and consumer confidence. In addition to economic cycles, demand for LII’s products and services is seasonal and dependent on the weather. Hotter than normal summers generate strong demand for replacement air conditioning, refrigeration products and services and colder than normal winters have the same effect on heating products and services. Conversely, cooler than normal summers and warmer than normal winters depress HVACR sales and services.

     The principal components of cost of goods sold in LII’s manufacturing operations are component costs, raw materials, factory overhead, labor and estimated costs of warranty expense. In LII’s Service Experts segment, the principal components of cost of goods sold are equipment, parts and supplies and labor. The principal raw materials used in LII’s manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum. Higher prices for these commodities and related components continue to present a challenge to LII. Commodity prices and related component costs in LII’s manufacturing businesses increased by approximately $21$39 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. LII is partially mitigating the impact of higher commodity prices in 2005 through a combination of price increases, improved production efficiency and cost reduction initiatives and hedging programs.initiatives. Warranty expense is estimated based on historical trends and other factors.

     LII’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year and its interim fiscal quarters are each comprised of 13 weeks. For convenience, throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, the 13-week periods comprising each fiscal quarter are denoted by the last day of the calendar quarter.

     In the Company’s Residential Heating & Cooling business segment, gross profit margins declined 2.9%improved 0.4 percentage points for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 due primarily to price increases and increased factory productivity more than offsetting the higher commodity prices and geographic and end-market mix differences (primarily in the Company’s Lennox brand) partially offset by price increases. Mild temperatures in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the U.S. resulted in a net sales skew to more price competitive Southern markets, and the mix between new construction and replacement shifted away from more profitable replacement business. In addition, warranty and product liability costs were $1.9 million higher for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due primarily to revaluing warranty reserves based on higher material costs. Gross profit margins declined 2.4%1.1 percentage points in the Company’s Commercial Heating & Cooling business segment over the same period due primarily to higher commodity prices as well as less favorable factory efficiency as production was ramped up to meet domestic demand. These factors were partially offset by price increases and higher volumes and price increases.volumes. In the Company’s Service Experts business segment, gross profit margin declined 1.0%improved 0.2 percentage points over the same period due primarily to margin erosion resulting from unfavorable end-market mix as new construction markets wereprices increases more buoyant than replacement markets.

(Gains), Losses and Other Expenses, Net
     (Gains), losses and other expenses, net were a pre-tax gain of $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 which included a $9.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company’s 45% interest in its heat transfer joint venture to Outokumpu, $2.2 million of pre-tax expenses representing the Company’s updated estimate of its portion of the on-going remediation costs in conjuction with the joint remediation agreement the Company entered into with Outokumpu and other items primarily related to the Company’s former Heat Transfer business segment. The total income tax provision on these items was $1.7 million.
Restructuring Charge
     Due to the competitive cost pressures, on April 4, 2005, Lennox Hearth Products Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced plans to relocate its Whitfield pellet stove and Lennox cast iron stove product lines from Burlington, Washington to a third party production facility in Juarez, Mexico, discontinue its existing steel wood stove line manufactured in Burlington and close the Burlington facility. Although these actions were substantially complete as of June 30, 2005, the Company anticipates additional expenses will be recorded during the second half of 2005; however, the total of such expenses is not expected to be material. In connection with the plant closure, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring-related charge of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The tax benefit of this charge was $0.8 million.
Interest Expense, Net
     Interest expense, net, decreased $4.3 million from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The lower interest expense was due primarily to lower average debt levels and the absence of $1.9 million of make-whole expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 related to the Company’s $35 million pre-payment of its long-term debt in June 2004, which was scheduled to be repaid in the third quarter of 2005. As of June 30, 2005, total debt of $275.2 million was $41.8 million lower than total debt as of June 30, 2004.
Other Income
     Other income was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Other income includes foreign currency exchange gains or losses, which relate principally to the Company’s operations in Canada, Australia and Europe, and expenses related to minority interest holders.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes
     The provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was 37.2% and 37.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. These effective rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 35% principally due to state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%.
     On June 30, 2005, Ohio enacted legislation changing its tax system. As a result of this legislation and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”), a provision for income taxes of $1.6 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2005.
     The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-357, the “AJCA”) was signed into law on October 22, 2004. The AJCA provides an opportunity to repatriate foreign earnings and claim an 85% dividend received deduction against the repatriated amount. The Company is evaluating the effects of the repatriation provision and expects to make a decision on implementation later in 2005. As a result, the related range of income tax effects of such repatriation cannot be reasonably estimated at the time of issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and, as provided for in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 109-2 “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP No. 109-2”), no income tax expense related to the possible repatriation has been recorded as of June 30, 2005.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
     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. LII

identified approximately 130 centers, whose primary business is residential and light commercial service and replacement. These centers comprise the ongoing Service Experts business segment. As of December 31, 2004, the remaining 48 centers were sold and are classified as a Discontinued Operation.
     Under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the operating results of the 48 centers that are no longer a part of the Service Experts business segment for all periods presented are reported as discontinued operations in LII’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table details the Company’s pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, as well as the cumulative pre-tax loss incurred through June 30, 2005 (in millions):

Total loss from discontinued operations $0.2  $3.6  $55.7 
          
     Any future additional expenses are not expected to be material. The income tax benefit on discontinued operations was zero and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. Through June 30, 2005, cumulative proceeds from the sale of the 48 centers totaled $25.9 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004
Net Sales
     Net sales increased $98.7 million, or 6.7%, to $1,568.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1,469.4 million for the same period in 2004. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased $77.8 million, or 5.3%, compared to the same period in 2004. Except for the Service Experts business segment, net sales were higher in all of the Company’s business segments for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004.
     Net sales in the Residential Heating & Cooling business segment increased $52.5 million, or 7.2%, to $777.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $724.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased $46.0 million, or 6.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net sales increases were achieved by all of the Company’s major home comfort brands. Net sales of the Company’s Lennox brand of heating, cooling and hearth products were particularly strong due in large part to price increases in response to higher commodity prices. Also, as discussed previously, LII’s Residential Heating & Cooling businesses benefited from favorable weather in June 2005. Overall, LII’s Residential Heating & Cooling business segment outperformed the market. According to the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute, U.S. factory shipments of unitary air conditioners and heat pumps were down 4% January through June 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.
     Net sales in the Commercial Heating & Cooling business segment increased $37.6 million, or 14.5%, to $297.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. After excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased $33.6 million, or 12.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net sales was due primarily to strong domestic sales growth, particularly in sales to national accounts, as well as an increase in sales to commercial mechanical contractors and price increases in response to higher commodity prices. Net sales in the Company’s European operations for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were also higher compared to the same period in 2004 although general market conditions remain difficult, particularly demand for chillers.
     Net sales in the Service Experts business segment declined $2.8 million, or 0.9%, to $303.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $306.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Net sales declined $6.8 million, or 2.2%, after excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. The decrease in net sales was due primarily to the sales shortfall in the first quarter of 2005.

19


     Refrigeration business segment net sales increased $11.6 million, or 5.3%, to $228.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $217.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. After excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased $4.3 million, or 2.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The Americas had higher net sales due primarily to growth in original equipment manufacturer sales that service the supermarket, walk-in refrigeration and cold storage market segments, as well as price increases in response to higher commodity prices. Net sales were lower, after excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, in the Company’s European and Asia Pacific operations due to depressed market conditions.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit was $515.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $500.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $14.9 million. Gross profit margin declined to 32.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 34.1% in the same period in 2004. Gross profit margin declined in all of LII’s business segments over the same period with much of the decline occurring during the first quarter of 2005. Higher commodity prices continue to challenge LII’s manufacturing businesses as commodity prices increased by approximately $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. LII was able to offset the higher commodity prices through price increases; however, overall, the price increases did not sufficiently cover the gross profit margin on the incremental revenue and other cost increases.
     LIFO (last in, first out) inventory liquidations did not have a material impact on gross profit margins. The Company’s gross profit margin may not be comparable to the gross profit margin of other entities, because some entities include all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of goods sold, whereas the Company excludes a portion of such costs from gross profit margin, including such costs in the SG&A line item instead. For more information, see Note 5 — Shipping and Handling in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
     SG&A expenses were $429.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $13.8 million, or 3.3%, from $415.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The $13.8 million increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to higher distribution, selling and marketing expenses of $14.6 million driven by the higher sales volumes and $5.5 million of unfavorable foreign currency translation (part of which is included in the higher distribution, selling and marketing expenses) and expenses associated with personnel changes. SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2004 included approximately $6 million of investigation costs related to the Service Experts operations. As a percentage of total net sales, SG&A expenses declined to 27.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 28.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk among its diversified customer base.
(Gains), Losses and Other Expenses, Net
     (Gains), losses and other expenses, net were a pre-tax gain of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 which included a $9.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the Company’s 45% interest in its heat transfer joint venture to Outokumpu, $2.2 million of pre-tax expenses representing the Company’s updated estimate of its portion of the on-going remediation costs in conjunction with the joint remediation agreement the Company entered into with Outokumpu and other items primarily related to the Company’s former Heat Transfer business segment. The total income tax provision on these items was $1.7 million.
Restructuring Charge
     Due to competitive cost pressures, on April 4, 2005, Lennox Hearth Products Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, commenced plans to relocate its Whitfield pellet stove and Lennox cast iron stove product lines from Burlington, Washington to a third party production facility in Juarez, Mexico, discontinue its existing steel wood stove line manufactured in Burlington and close the Burlington facility. Although these actions were substantially complete as of June 30, 2005, the Company anticipates additional expenses will be recorded during the second half of 2005; however, the total of such expenses is not expected to be material. In connection with the plant closure, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring-related charge of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The tax benefit of this charge was $0.8 million.

Goodwill Impairment

     Goodwill impairment represents a pre-tax, non-cash, charge of $208.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004 in the Company’s Service Experts business segment, where lower than expected operating results occurred. The tax benefit of this charge was $23.2 million. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company conducted fair-value-based tests, which are required at least annually by SFAS No. 142, and determined that the carrying value of Service Experts’ goodwill exceeded its fair value. These fair-value-based tests were applied to all Service Experts service centers before consideration of the divestitures announced as part of the Company’s Service Experts turnaround plan. An additional $13.3 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment is included in the $20.1$23.1 million pre-tax Loss onfrom Operations of Discontinued Operations discussed below resulting in a total pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $221.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, LII performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that no further goodwill impairment was necessary.

The lower interest expense was due primarily to lower average debt levels.levels and the absence of $1.9 million of make-whole expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 related to the Company’s $35 million pre-payment of its long-term debt in June 2004, which was scheduled to be repaid in the third quarter of 2005.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes on continuing operations was $4.4$31.0 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005, compared to a benefit fromprovision for income taxes on continuing operations of $19.1$2.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004.

TheJune 30, 2004 and the effective tax rate on continuing operations excluding the goodwill impairment charge, would have been 35.7%37.3% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2004. These effective rates differ from the statutory federal rate of 35% principally due to state and local taxes, non-deductible expenses, foreign operating losses for which no tax benefits have been recognized and foreign taxes at rates other than 35%.

     On June 30, 2005, Ohio enacted legislation changing its tax system. As a result of this legislation and in accordance with SFAS No. 109, a provision for income taxes of $1.6 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     LII’s working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through internally generated funds and bank lines of credit.

     During the first threesix months of 2005, cash provided by operating activities was $36.0$66.0 million, compared to $6.6$55.3 million provided by operating activities in the same period in 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

     In November 2004, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, “Inventory Cost an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4,”4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and spoilage. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory be based on the normal capacity of production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this standard to determine the effects, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

18


     In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Also, if there is any uncertainty as to the amount and/or the timing of future settlement, it should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 is required to be applied no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, although early adoption is encouraged. The Company is evaluating the provisions of this standard to determine the effects, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which revises SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” SFAS 123R also supersedes APBAccounting Principles Board 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) and amends SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flow.” SFAS 123R requires fair value of all share-based payments to employees, including the fair value of grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement, generally over the option vesting period. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123R. The SEC amendment allows companies to implement SFAS 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted.

     SFAS 123R permits adoption of its requirements using one of two transition methods:

 1. A modified prospective transition method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date, and (b) for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date that remain unvested on the effective date, (or)date; or
 
 2. A modified retrospective transition method which includes the requirements of the method described above, but also permits restatement of financial statements based on the amounts previously disclosed under SFAS 123’s pro forma disclosure requirements either for (a) all prior periods presented, or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption.

     The Company is currently evaluating the timing and manner in which it will adopt SFAS 123R.

  the Company’s business is affected by economic factors including the level of economic activity in the markets in which the Company operates, and a decline in this activity typically results in a decline in new construction and replacement purchases, which could decrease LII’s sales and profitability;
 
  the demand for the Company’s products and services is strongly affected by the weather, and cooler than normal summers depress the Company’s sales of replacement air conditioning and refrigeration products and warmer than normal winters have the same effect on the Company’s heating products;
 
  implementation of the new minimum efficiency standard for residential air conditioners mandated by the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (“NAECA”) could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, including increased costs of production and distribution, potential margin pressures and higher levels of working capital;
 
  increases in the prices or required quantities of raw materials or components, or problems in their availability, whether related to the implementation of the new NAECA standard or otherwise, could increase the costs of itsthe Company’s products and/or depress the Company’s sales;

  the Company incurs the risk of liability claims for the installation and service of heating and cooling products with its Company-owned dealer service centers, and if these claims exceed the limits of the Company’s product liability insurance policies, it may result in material costs that could have an adverse effect on future profitability;
 
  the success of the Company will dependdepends in part on its ability to integrate and operate acquired businesses profitably and to identify and implement opportunities for cost savings;

In addition, the Company’s debt could affect the Company’s ability to borrow additional money in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes;
 
  the Company operates in very competitive markets with competitors that may have greater financial and marketing resources, and competitive factors could cause the Company to reduce its prices or lose market share and negatively affect its cash flow;
 
  the Company’s future success will dependdepends upon its continued investment in research and new product development and its ability to commercialize new technological advances in the HVACR industries;
 
 the Company faces a risk of work stoppage and other labor relations matters because a significant percentage of itsthe Company’s workforce is unionized, and the results of future negotiations with the unions, including the effect of any production interruptions or labor stoppages, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future financial results; and

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

     LII’s results of operations can be affected by changes in exchange rates. Net sales and expenses in currencies other than the United States dollar are translated into United States dollars for financial reporting purposes based on the average exchange rate for the period. Net sales from outside the United States represented 24.3%22.8% and 24.7%23.0% of total net sales for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Historically, foreign currency transaction gains (losses) have not had a material effect on LII’s overall operations. The impact of a 10% change in exchange rates on income from operations is estimated to be approximately $4.2$3.7 million on an annual basis.

     The Company’s results of operations can be affected by changes in interest rates due to variable rates of interest on the revolving credit facilities. A 10% change in interest rates would not be material to the Company’s results of operations.
     The Company enters into commodity futures contracts to stabilize prices to be paid for raw materials and parts containing high copper and aluminum content. These contracts are for quantities equal to, or less than, quantities expected to be consumed in future production. As of March 31,June 30, 2005, the Company had metal futures contracts maturing at various dates through AprilDecember 2006 with a fair value as an asset of $9.9$2.7 million. The impact of a 10% change in commodity prices on the Company’s results from operations is estimated to be approximately $28.9$28.3 million for the entire year, absent any other contravening actions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s current management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2005, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Plaintiffs have recently withdrawn their oppositionor who will provide services to, the motionsCompany or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the Company’s 1998 Incentive Plan, as amended and as a result, the Company expects the cases to be transferred to Grenada County in the near future. If this occurs, the stay will be lifted and the cases will proceed. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters or an estimate of any potential loss; however, based on present knowledge, management believes that it is unlikely that any final resolution of these matters will result in a material liability for the Company. As of March 31, 2005, no accrual has been made for these matters. The Company anticipates the future legal fees in defense of these matters could be significant.restated.
