NOTE E—CONTINGENCIES

In 2003, a $12.1 million judgment (composed of $2.1 million compensatory and $10 million punitive damages) was entered against Amana Company, LP, the entity from which Maytag purchased the Amana business in 2001. The case which was assumed by Maytag in the purchase agreement involved the termination of a commercial distributorship prior to Maytag’s acquisition of the Amana business. In May 2004, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the earlier judgment. As a result, Maytag recorded a charge of $10.5 million in the second quarter of 2004, bringing its reserve to cover this matter to $12.8 million. The charge is disclosed as a separate line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Maytag is pursuing an appeal of this decision.

A charge of $18.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2004 for the anticipated resolution of product related litigation. This litigation related primarily to early generation front-load washers. The charge was recorded in the Home Appliances segment on a separate line on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently examining the company’s federal income tax returns for 2000 and 2001. The IRS has proposed, or is expected to propose adjustments to Maytag’s income and tax credits for tax years 1998 through 2001 that would result in additional tax. The company disagrees with most of these adjustments. Accordingly, the company will vigorously contest all such adjustments at the Appeals level of the IRS, if necessary.

Maytag has contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business, including: guarantees, repurchase agreements, pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims which are not considered to be significant in relation to Maytag’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE F – SEGMENT REPORTING

In the third quarter of 2004, Maytag has changed its segment reporting to reflect a reorganization announced in the second quarter. It now discloses two reporting segments: Home Appliances and Commercial Products. The Home Appliances segment manufactures, sells and services major appliances and floor care products. These products are sold primarily to major national retailers and independent retail dealers in North America and targeted international markets. The Commercial Products segment manufactures and sells vending equipment and commercial cooking products. These products are sold primarily to distributors and soft drink bottlers in North America and targeted international markets. Segment information in this report has been reclassified for comparative purposes to reflect the reporting change.

Financial information for reportable segments consisted of the following:

NOTE G – RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

Restructuring and related charges reserve activity for the nine months ended October 2, 2004 consisted of the following:

In the fourth quarter of 2002, Maytag announced that it would close its refrigeration manufacturing facility in Galesburg, Illinois by December 2004, and it ceased production there in September 2004. In connection therewith, the Company recorded $48.4 million and $67.1 million in pre-tax restructuring and related charges in 2003 and 2002, respectively, including $48.4 million and $32.8 million for asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and severance and related costs. The remaining $34.3 million charge in 2002 involved pension and postretirement health care benefit curtailments that were charged to Accrued pension cost and Postretirement benefit liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Pre-tax restructuring and related charges of $11.9 million and $36.4 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively. Cash expenditures for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2004, were $0.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The closure of the facility has resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,420 positions through the end of the third quarter of 2004. Hourly production workers held the majority of these positions. Approximately 180 positions remain, most of them until the first quarter of 2005.

In the first quarter of 2004, the Company sold a former cooking appliance manufacturing facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1996 the Company had ceased production at the facility, classified the net assets as held-for-sale and reduced the property’s carrying value to its estimated realizable value. The ultimate amount realized resulted in a $1.6 million reversal of the reserve recorded against those net assets. This reversal was netted against the pre-tax restructuring and related charges within the Home Appliances segment.

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company announced a comprehensive restructuring plan to consolidate the Hoover Floor Care, Maytag Appliances, and Corporate Headquarters organizations. Pre-tax restructuring and related charges of $7.2 million and $20.1 million were recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively. Cash expenditures for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2004, were $7.0 million and $10.7 million, respectively. It is anticipated that the restructuring plan will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 1,100 positions by the end of 2004. Approximately 750 positions have been eliminated through October 2, 2004. The majority of the expenses were recorded in the Home Appliances segment.

NOTE H – STOCK PLANS

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options and awards. Under APB 25, employee stock options are valued using the intrinsic method, and no compensation expense is recorded when the exercise price of options equals or is greater than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The following table shows the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Company’s weighted-average assumptions used in this model have not changed from January 3, 2004.

NOTE I – WARRANTY RESERVE

Maytag provides a basic limited warranty for all of its major appliance, floor care and commercial products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold. Maytag estimates the costs that may be incurred and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect Maytag’s warranty liability include the number of units shipped to customers, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim. Maytag periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.

Changes in the basic limited warranty liability for the nine months ended October 2, 2004 were as follows:

In addition to the basic limited warranty, an optional extended warranty is offered to retail purchasers of the Company’s major appliances. Sales of extended warranties are recorded as deferred revenue within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred revenue is amortized into income on a straight-line basis over the length of the extended warranty contracts. Payments on extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred.

NOTE J–SALE OF RONGSHIDA-MAYTAG

During 2001, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of its interest in Rongshida-Maytag, a joint venture in China. Total charges of $45.6 million were recorded to write down the Company’s interest in the net assets of Rongshida-Maytag to its estimated fair value less costs to dispose. No tax benefit was recorded on the $45.6 million capital loss as the recognition of a future tax benefit from this loss is uncertain. In the third quarter of 2004, Maytag completed the sale of its interest in the joint venture for net proceeds of $11.2 million, resulting in an after-tax gain on sale of $0.3 million which is recorded in income from discontinued operations.
