1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Spectrum Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is a
global branded consumer products company with positions in seven major product categories: consumer batteries; pet supplies; electric shaving and grooming; electric personal care; portable lighting; lawn and garden and household insect control. In
the third quarter of the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Company engaged advisors to assist it in exploring possible strategic options including divesting certain assets, in order to reduce its outstanding indebtedness.
In connection with this undertaking, during the first quarter of the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 the Company approved and initiated a plan to sell the assets related to its lawn and garden and household insect control
product offerings (the Home and Garden Business). As a result, the Company has designated certain assets and liabilities related to the Home and Garden Business as held for sale and has designated the Home and Garden Business as
discontinued operations. See Note 2, Significant Accounting PoliciesDiscontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale for further details on the discontinued Home and Garden Business.
As of January 1, 2007, the Company began managing its business in three reportable segments: (i) Global Batteries & Personal Care,
which consists of the Companys worldwide battery, shaving and grooming, personal care and portable lighting business (Global Batteries & Personal Care); (ii) Global Pet Supplies, which consists of the Companys
worldwide pet supplies business (Global Pet Supplies); and (iii) the Home and Garden Business, which has been designated as discontinued operations. The presentation of all historical segment reporting herein has been
reclassified to conform to this segment structure.
The Companys continuing operations include the worldwide manufacturing and
marketing of alkaline, zinc carbon and hearing aid batteries, as well as aquariums and aquatic supplies and the designing and marketing of rechargeable batteries, battery-powered lighting products, electric shavers and accessories, grooming products
and hair care appliances. The Companys continuing operations also include the manufacturing and marketing of specialty pet supplies. The Companys continuing operations utilize manufacturing and product development facilities located in
the United States, Europe, China and Latin America. Through the Home and Garden Business, presented here as discontinued operations, the Company manufactures and markets lawn fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides and repellents in North America.
The Company sells its products in approximately 120 countries through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and
distributors, hearing aid professionals, industrial distributors and original equipment manufacturers and enjoys name recognition in its markets under the Rayovac, VARTA and Remington brands, each of which has been in existence for more than 80
years, and under the Tetra, 8in1 and various other brands. The Home and Garden Business has name recognition under the Spectracide and Cutter brands, among others.
2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation:
These condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and, in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments
(which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 30 and September 30, 2007, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended
December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These
6
SPECTRUM BRANDS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Significant Accounting Policies and Practices:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the condensed consolidated financial
statements of Spectrum Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Companys fiscal year
ends September 30. References herein to Fiscal 2008 and Fiscal 2007 refer to the fiscal years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Discontinued Operations:
In the third quarter of the Companys fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006, the Company engaged advisors to assist in exploring possible strategic options including a potential sale of various assets in order to reduce its outstanding indebtedness. In connection with this undertaking, during the
first quarter of Fiscal 2007, the Company approved and initiated a plan to sell the assets related to the Home and Garden Business. (See Assets Held for Sale in this Note 2 below where the specific assets and liabilities to be sold are further
discussed).
As a result, effective October 1, 2006, the Company reflected the operations of the Home and Garden Business as
discontinued operations. Therefore, the presentation herein of the results of continuing operations exclude the Home and Garden Business for all periods presented. The following amounts have been segregated from continuing operations and are
reflected as discontinued operations for the three months ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively:

On November 1, 2007, the Company sold the Canadian division of the Home and Garden Business,
which operated under the name Nu-Gro, to a new company formed by RoyCap Merchant Banking Group and Clarke Inc. Cash proceeds received at closing, net of selling expenses, totaled $14,931 and were used to reduce outstanding debt. These proceeds are
included in net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On February 5, 2008, the Company finalized the
contractual working capital adjustment in connection with this sale which increased proceeds received by the Company by $500. As a result of the finalization of the contractual working capital adjustments the Company recorded a loss on disposal of
$1,209, net of tax benefit.

Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are recorded at cost or at fair value if acquired in a purchase business combination. Customer lists and
proprietary technology intangibles are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives of approximately 5 to 19 years. Excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and trade name intangibles are not
amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. If an impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows) is recorded. Trade name intangibles
are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value with the carrying value. Any excess of carrying value over fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in income from operations.
SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142) requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss may have been incurred. Management uses its judgment in assessing whether assets may have become impaired between annual
impairment tests. Indicators such as unexpected adverse business conditions, economic factors, unanticipated technological change or competitive activities, loss of key

personnel, and acts by governments and courts may signal that an asset has become impaired. The fair values of the Companys goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets were not tested for impairment during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 as no event or circumstance arose which indicated that an impairment loss may have been incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $36,744 and $35,622 for the three month periods ended
December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These costs are included in Selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs include costs incurred with third-party carriers to transport products to customers as well as salaries and
overhead costs related to activities to prepare the Companys products for shipment from its distribution facilities.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Trade receivables subject the Company to credit risk. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the
customers financial condition and credit history, and generally does not require collateral. The Company monitors its customers credit and financial condition based on changing economic conditions and makes adjustments to credit policies
as required. Provision for losses on uncollectible trade receivables are determined principally on the basis of past collection experience applied to ongoing evaluations of the Companys receivables and evaluations of the risks of nonpayment
for a given customer.
The Company has a broad range of customers including many large retail outlet chains, one of which accounts for a
significant percentage of its sales volume. This customer represented approximately 19% and 21% of the Companys Net sales during the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. This customer also
represented approximately 13% and 11% of the Companys Trade accounts receivable, net as of December 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, respectively.
Approximately 57% and 55% of the Companys Net sales during the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, occurred outside the United States. These sales and
related receivables are subject to varying degrees of credit, currency, political and economic risk. The Company monitors these risks and makes appropriate provisions for collectibility based on an assessment of the risks present.
Stock-Based Compensation
: The Company uses or has used two forms of stock based compensation. Shares of restricted stock have been awarded to
certain employees and members of management since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. Prior to the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, the Company also issued stock options to employees, some of which remained
unvested as of October 1, 2005, the date the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R),
Share Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)). Restricted stock is now the only form of stock based compensation used by the Company.
SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. Total stock
compensation expense associated with both stock options and restricted stock awards recognized by the Company during the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $1,861, or $1,154, net of taxes, and $3,808, or
$2,551, net of taxes, respectively. The amounts before tax are included in General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited). The Company expects that total stock compensation expense for 2008
will be approximately $7,388 before the effect of income taxes. As of December 30, 2007, there was $14,522 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
approximately 3 years.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
Stock options previously awarded generally vest under a combination of time-based and
performance-based vesting criteria. Under the time-based vesting, the stock options become exercisable primarily in equal increments over a three year period, while under the performance-based vesting such options become exercisable over the same
time period or one day prior to the end of the exercise period, if certain performance criteria are not met. The period during which such options, if vested, may be exercised generally extends ten years from the date of grant.
Restricted stock shares granted through the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 generally have vesting periods of three to five years.
Approximately 50% of the restricted stock shares are purely time-based and vest on a pro rata basis over either a three or four year vesting period and approximately 50% are time-based and performance-based. Vesting of such performance based
restricted stock will occur upon achievement of certain performance goals established by the Board of Directors of the Company. Generally, performance targets consist of Earnings Per Share (EPS), segment Earnings Before Interest and
Taxes (EBIT) and cash flow components. If such performance targets are not met, the performance component of a restricted stock award will not vest in the year that the performance targets applied to and instead will automatically vest
one year after the originally scheduled vesting date, effectively making the award time based. The Company recognizes amortization on the time-based component on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes amortization on
the performance-based component over the vesting period, assuming performance targets will not be met, unless and until it is probable that the performance targets will be met. At the point in time when it is probable that the performance target
will be met, the recognition period is shortened one year to account for the accelerated vesting requirement of the performance-based component.
Restricted stock shares granted in Fiscal 2007 generally have vesting periods which can range from one to five years. Approximately 89% of the shares granted are purely performance based and vest only upon the achievement of certain
performance goals. Such performance goals consist of reportable segment and consolidated company Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and cash flow components, each as defined by the Company for purposes
of such awards. The remaining shares granted in Fiscal 2007 are time based, which vest either 100% after three years or on a pro rata basis over three years. All vesting dates are subject to the recipients continued employment with the
Company, except as otherwise permitted by the Companys Board of Directors.
During the three month period ended December 30,
2007, the Company granted approximately 308 shares of restricted stock. Of these grants, 58 shares are time based and vest on a pro rata basis over a three year period and 250 are purely performance based and vest only upon achievement of certain
performance goals which consist of reportable segment and consolidated company EBITDA and cash flow components, each as defined by the Company for purposes of such awards. All vesting dates are subject to the recipients continued employment
with the Company, except as otherwise permitted by the Companys Board of Directors.
The Company currently has one active incentive
plan under which additional shares may be issued to employees as equity compensation. In 2004, the Board adopted the 2004 Rayovac Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). Up to 3,500 shares of common stock, net of forfeitures and cancellations, may
be issued under the 2004 Plan, which expires in July 2014. As of December 30, 2007, 2,723 of restricted shares had been granted, net of forfeitures and shares surrendered by employees for payment of taxes on such awards, and 1,446 restricted
shares were outstanding under the 2004 Plan. No options have been granted under the 2004 Plan.
The Company also has two expired plans
under which there remain equity based awards outstanding; the 1997 Rayovac Incentive Plan (1997 Plan), which expired on August 31, 2007, and the 1996 Rayovac Corporation Stock Option Plan (1996 Plan), which expired on
September 12, 2006. As of December 30, 2007 there were options with respect to 1,261 shares of common stock and 527 restricted shares outstanding under the 1997 Plan, and options with respect to 202 shares of common stock outstanding under
the 1996 Plan.

Derivative Financial Instruments:
Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company
principally in the management of its interest rate, foreign currency and raw material price exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. When entered into, the Company formally designates the
financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure if specific criteria are met, and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least
quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related
11
SPECTRUM BRANDS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the
value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a financial instruments change in fair value is immediately recognized in
earnings.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the
changes in fair value recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement
period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. During
the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $1,602 and $1,805 of pretax derivative gains, respectively, from such hedges were recorded as an adjustment to Interest expense. During the three month periods ended
December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0 and $431 of pretax derivative gains, respectively, were recorded as adjustments to interest expense for ineffectiveness from such hedges and included in the amounts above. At December 30,
2007 the Company had a portfolio of USD-denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fixes the interest rates on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at rates as follows: 4.46% for a notional principal amount of $170,000
through October 2008 and 5.49% for a notional principal amount of $225,000 through March 2010. In addition, the Company had a portfolio of EUR-denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fixes the interest rates on floating rate
debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at rates as follows: 2.68% for a notional principal amount of 185,000 through September 2008. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI at December 30, 2007 was $2,915, net of tax
benefit of $1,787. The derivative net gain on these contracts recorded in AOCI at September 30, 2007 was $163, net of tax expense of $100. At December 30, 2007, the portion of derivative net gains estimated to be reclassified from AOCI
into earnings over the next 12 months was $907, net of tax expense.
The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange
contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign denominated third party and inter-company sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian
Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales or product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the
fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net sales or
purchase price variance in Cost of goods sold. During the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $958 of pretax derivative losses and $179 of pretax derivative gains, respectively, from such hedges were recorded
as an adjustment to Net sales. During the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $2,894 and $141 of pretax derivative losses, respectively, from such hedges were recorded as an adjustment to Cost of goods sold.
Following the sale or purchase, subsequent changes in the fair value of certain of the derivative hedge contracts were recorded as a gain or loss in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related asset or liability recorded in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). During the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0 and $405 of pretax derivative losses, respectively, from such hedges were recorded as an adjustment to
earnings in Other income, net. During each of the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the pretax derivative adjustment to earnings for ineffectiveness from these contracts was $0. The derivative net loss on
these contracts recorded in AOCI at December 30, 2007 was $4,856, net of tax benefit of $2,218. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI at September 30, 2007 was $6,010, net of tax benefit of $3,318. At
December 30, 2007, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months was $5,544, net of tax benefit.

The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk
from third party and inter-company payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Brazilian Reals or Canadian Dollars. These
foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited). The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change
in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. During the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $6,436 and $3,808 of pretax derivative losses, respectively, from such hedges were recorded as an
adjustment to earnings in Other income, net. At December 30, 2007, $161,006 of such foreign exchange derivative contracts were outstanding. At September 30, 2007, $125,771 of such foreign exchange derivative contracts were outstanding.
The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, including zinc, urea and di-ammonium phosphate used in its
manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity call options and swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in
AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The call options
effectively cap the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. During the three month periods
ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $163 of pretax derivative losses and $4,594 of pretax derivative gains, respectively, were recorded as an adjustment to Cost of goods sold for swap or option contracts settled at maturity. The
hedges are generally highly effective, however, during the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $327 of pretax derivative losses and $65 of pretax derivative gains, respectively, were recorded as an adjustment
to Cost of goods sold for ineffectiveness. At December 30, 2007, the Company had a series of such swap contracts outstanding through December 2009 with a contract value of $57,302. At September 30, 2007, $64,043 of such commodity contracts
were outstanding. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI at December 30, 2007 was $2,418, net of tax benefit of $732. The derivative net loss on these contracts recorded in AOCI at September 30, 2007 was $1,107, net of
tax benefit of $529. At December 30, 2007, the portion of derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months was $1,808, net of tax benefit.

Net exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of assets and liabilities of foreign
subsidiaries are accumulated in the AOCI section of Shareholders deficit. Also included are the effects of exchange rate changes on intercompany balances of a long-term nature and transactions designated as hedges of net foreign investments.
The changes in accumulated foreign currency translation for the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 were primarily attributable to the impact of translation of the net assets of the Companys European
operations, primarily denominated in Euros and Pounds Sterling.
4 NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share for the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, is calculated based upon the

Senior Credit Facilities
During the second quarter of Fiscal 2007, the Company refinanced its outstanding senior credit facilities with new senior secured credit facilities
pursuant to a new senior credit agreement (the Senior Credit Agreement) consisting of a $1,000,000 U.S. Dollar Term B Loan facility (the U.S. Dollar Term B Loan), a $200,000 U.S. Dollar Term B II Loan facility (the
U.S. Dollar Term B II Loan), a 262,000 Term Loan facility (the Euro Facility), and a $50,000 synthetic letter of credit facility (the L/C Facility). The proceeds of borrowings under the Senior Credit
Agreement were used to repay all outstanding obligations under the Companys Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2005, to pay fees and expenses in connection with the refinancing and the exchange offer
completed on March 30, 2007 relating to certain of our senior subordinated notes and for general corporate purposes. Subject to certain mandatory prepayment events, the term loan facilities under the Senior Credit Agreement are subject to
repayment

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
according to a scheduled amortization, with the final payment of all amounts outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due on March 30, 2013.
Letters of credit issued pursuant to the L/C Facility are required to expire, at the latest, five business days prior to March 30, 2013.
On September 28, 2007, as provided for in the Senior Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a $225,000 U.S. Dollar Asset Based Revolving Loan Facility (the ABL Facility) pursuant to a new credit agreement (the
ABL Credit Agreement). The ABL Facility replaced the U.S. Dollar Term B II Loan, which was simultaneously prepaid using cash on hand generated from the Companys operations and available cash from prior borrowings under its
Senior Credit Agreement in connection with the above-referenced refinancing. The Company, at its option, may increase the existing $225,000 commitment under the ABL Facility up to $300,000 upon request to the lenders under the ABL Facility and upon
meeting certain criteria specified in the ABL Credit Agreement. The ABL Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 28, 2011, subject to certain mandatory prepayment events. As a result of the prepayment of the U.S. Dollar Term
B II Loan, under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement and borrowings under the ABL Facility during the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, as of December 30, 2007, the Company has aggregate borrowing availability of approximately $81,437, net
of lender reserves of $32,218, under the ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had aggregate borrowing availability of approximately $171,005, net of lenders reserves of $32,370, under the ABL Facility. References to Senior
Credit Facilities in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, refer, collectively, to the U.S. Dollar Term B Loan, the Euro Facility and the ABL Facility.
During the three month period ended December 30, 2007, the Company prepaid $15,280 of term loan indebtedness under its Senior Credit Agreement with net proceeds from the sale of the Canadian division of the Home
and Garden Business. See Note 2, Significant Accounting PoliciesDiscontinued Operations for further details on the sale of the Canadian division of the Home and Garden Business.
At December 30, 2007, the aggregate amount outstanding under the Companys Senior Credit Facilities totaled a U.S. Dollar equivalent of
$1,516,338, including principal amounts of $986,410 under the U.S. Dollar Term B Loan, 258,450 under the Euro Facility (USD $377,957 at December 30, 2007), $105,000 under the ABL Facility as well as $46,971 in letters of credit
under the L/C Facility.
The Senior Credit Agreement contains financial covenants with respect to debt, including, but not limited to, a
maximum senior secured leverage ratio, which covenants, pursuant to their terms, become more restrictive over time. In addition, the Senior Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the
Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral
agreement, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed their respective obligations under the Senior Credit Agreement and related loan documents and have pledged substantially all of their respective assets to secure such obligations.
The ABL Credit Agreement also contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Companys
ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and merge or acquire or sell assets. Pursuant to a guarantee and collateral agreement, the
Company and its domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed their respective obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and related loan documents and have pledged certain of their liquid assets, including, but not limited to, deposit accounts, trade
receivables and inventory to secure such obligations.
The Senior Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement each provide for customary
events of default, including payment defaults and cross-defaults on other material indebtedness. If an event of default occurs and is

available under the applicable loan documents may be exercised, including rights with respect to the collateral securing the obligations under such agreement.
As of December 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement.

principal. As of December 30, 2007, the Variable Rate Toggle Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 bore interest at a rate of 11

The Company may redeem all or a part of the
Variable Rate Toggle Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at specified redemption prices. The terms of the 8
1
/
2
% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and 7

/

% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2015 do not currently permit redemption. Further, the indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes each require the Company to make an offer to repurchase all or a portion of the applicable outstanding notes for a specified redemption
price, including a redemption premium, upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company, as defined in such indentures and each require prepayment in connection with certain asset sales.
The indentures governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries
to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase its equity interests, make certain investments, expand into unrelated businesses, create liens on assets, merge or consolidate with another company,
transfer or sell all or substantially all of its assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
In addition, the indentures
governing the Senior Subordinated Notes each provide for customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, failure to make payments on or acceleration of certain other
indebtedness, and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Events of default under the respective indentures arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency will automatically cause the acceleration of the amounts due under the notes
subject to that indenture. If any other event of default under an indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee for that indenture or the registered holders of at least 25% in the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of those notes, may
declare the acceleration of the amounts due under those notes.
As of December 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with all
covenants under the Senior Subordinated Notes and the respective indentures. The Company, however, is subject to certain restrictions under the terms of the respective indentures because, due to significant restructuring charges and reduced business
performance, the Company does not currently satisfy the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test of 2:1 under each of the indentures. Until the test is satisfied, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are limited in their ability to make significant
acquisitions or incur significant additional senior credit facility debt beyond the Senior Credit Facilities. The Company does not expect its inability to satisfy the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test to impair its ability to provide adequate
liquidity to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements of its existing businesses, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

8 EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Company has various defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees in the United States and certain employees in other countries,
primarily the United Kingdom and Germany. Plans generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company funds its U.S. pension plans at a level to maintain, within established guidelines, the IRS-defined 90 percent current
liability funded status. At January 1, 2007, the date of the most recent calculation, all U.S. funded defined benefit pension plans reflected a current liability funded status equal to or greater than 90 percent. Additionally, in compliance
with the Companys funding policy, annual contributions to non-U.S. defined benefit plans are equal to the actuarial recommendations or statutory requirements in the respective countries.
The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans,
some of which are covered by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and therefore are not included in the information presented below.
The Company also has various nonqualified deferred compensation agreements with certain of its employees. Under certain of these agreements, the Company
has agreed to pay certain amounts annually for the first 15 years subsequent to retirement or to a designated beneficiary upon death. It is managements intent that life insurance contracts owned by the Company will fund these agreements. Under
the remaining agreements, the Company has agreed to pay such deferred amounts in up to 15 annual installments beginning on a date specified by the employee, subsequent to retirement or disability, or to a designated beneficiary upon death.
The Companys results of operations for the three month periods ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
respectively, reflect the following pension and deferred compensation benefit costs:

Under the Rayovac postretirement plan the Company provides certain health care and life insurance
benefits to eligible retired employees. Participants earn retiree health care benefits after reaching age 45 over the next 10 succeeding years of service and remain eligible until reaching age 65. The plan is contributory; retiree contributions have
been established as a flat dollar amount with contribution rates expected to increase at the active medical trend rate. The plan is unfunded. The Company is amortizing the transition obligation over a 20-year period.
The Company sponsors a defined contribution pension plan for its domestic salaried employees, which allows participants to make contributions by salary
reduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
19
SPECTRUM BRANDS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
Code. The Company contributes annually from 3% to 6% of participants compensation based on age or service, and may make additional discretionary
contributions. The Company also sponsors defined contribution pension plans for employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. Company contributions charged to operations, including discretionary amounts, for the three month period ended
December 30, 2007 were $1,039.
Effective September 30, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 158,
Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)
(SFAS 158). The recognition and disclosure provisions of this statement require recognition
of the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans as an asset or liability in the statement of financial position, and recognition of changes in that funded status in AOCI in the year in which the adoption
occurs. The initial adoption was reflected as a $1,900 decrease to the September 30, 2007 balance of AOCI and included the elimination of the additional minimum liability, which is no longer required. In periods subsequent to the adoption of
SFAS 158, adjustments to other comprehensive income will reflect prior service cost or credits and actuarial gain or loss amounts arising during the period and reclassification adjustments for amounts being recognized as components of net periodic
pension benefit and deferred compensation benefit cost, net of tax, in accordance with current pension accounting rules.
The measurement
date provisions of SFAS 158, which for the Company becomes effective for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, will require the Company to measure all of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plan assets and obligations as of
September 30, its fiscal year end. The Company currently measures plan assets and obligations of its domestic pension plans as of June 30 each year and September 30 each year for its foreign pension plans and its domestic other
postretirement plans. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 on its consolidated financial statements.
9 INCOME TAXES
In 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48)
,
which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires the Company to recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax
position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company
recognized no cumulative effect adjustment. As of October 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $7,933 of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $4,630 of which would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized and
approximately $2,629 of which would result in a reduction in goodwill if recognized. As of December 30, 2007, no material changes have occurred in the Companys uncertain tax positions since the adoption of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of October 1, 2007 the
Company had approximately $1,525 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company does not expect any
significant increases in the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Companys major taxing jurisdictions are the U.S. and Germany. In the U.S, federal tax filings
20
SPECTRUM BRANDS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
for years prior to and including the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 are closed. However, the federal net operating loss
carryforward from the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 is subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination until the year that such net operating loss carryforward is utilized and that year is closed for
audit. The Companys fiscal years ended September 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 remain open to examination by the IRS. Various U.S. state and local jurisdictions are also subject to audit and to date no significant audit matters have arisen.
Certain of the German legal entities acquired by the Company in May, 2005 are undergoing audits for the fiscal years ended 2001 through 2004. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the current examinations. However, it is reasonably
possible that during the next 12 months some portion of previously unrecognized tax benefits could be recognized.
10 SEGMENT
RESULTS
As of January 1, 2007, the Company began managing its business in three operating segments: (i) Global
Batteries & Personal Care, (ii) Global Pet Supplies; and (iii) the Home and Garden Business. The presentation of all historical segment reporting herein has been reclassified to conform to this segment structure.
Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each reportable segment is
responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a general manager responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within that segment.
Net sales and Cost of goods sold to other business segments have been eliminated. The gross contribution of intersegment sales is included
in the segment selling the product to the external customer. Segment net sales are based upon the segment from which the product is shipped.
The operating segment profits do not include restructuring and related charges, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense. In connection with the realignment of operating segments discussed above, as of January 1,
2007 expenses associated with the Companys global operations group, which consisted of research and development, manufacturing management, global purchasing, quality operations and inbound supply chain, which were previously reflected in
corporate expenses, are now included in the determination of operating segment profits. In addition, certain general and administrative expenses necessary to reflect the operating segments on a stand alone basis and which were previously reflected
as corporate expenses, have been included in the determination of operating segment profits. Accordingly, corporate expenses include primarily general and administrative expenses associated with corporate overhead and global long-term incentive
compensation plans. Segment reporting results for the three months ended December 31, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the changes described above. All depreciation and amortization included in income from operations is related to
operating segments or corporate expense. Costs are identified to operating segments or corporate expense according to the function of each cost center.
All capital expenditures are related to operating segments. Variable allocations of assets are not made for segment reporting.

2007 Restructuring Initiatives
The Company has implemented a series of initiatives within the Global Batteries & Personal Care segment in Latin America to reduce operating
costs (the Latin American Initiatives). These initiatives, which are substantially complete, include the reduction of certain manufacturing operations in Brazil and the restructuring of management, sales, marketing and support functions.
The Company recorded $449 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 in connection with the Latin America Initiatives.
In Fiscal 2007 the Company began managing its business in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments; Global Batteries &
Personal Care, Global Pet Supplies and the Home and Garden Business. As part of this realignment, the Companys Global Operations organization, previously included in corporate expense, consisting of research and development, manufacturing
management, global purchasing, quality operations and inbound supply chain, is now included in each of the operating segments. (See also Note 9, Segment Results, for additional discussion on the Companys realignment of its operating segments).
In connection with these changes the Company undertook a number of cost reduction initiatives, primarily headcount reductions, at the corporate and operating segment levels (the Global Realignment Initiatives). The Company recorded
$2,790 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 in connection with the Global Realignment Initiatives. Costs associated with these initiatives, which are expected to be incurred through
December 31, 2008, relate primarily to severance and are projected at approximately $60,000, the majority of which will be cash costs.

2006 Restructuring Initiatives
The Company implemented a series of initiatives within the Global Batteries & Personal Care segment in Europe to reduce operating costs and rationalize the Companys manufacturing structure (the
European Initiatives). These initiatives, which are substantially complete, include the relocation of certain operations at the Ellwangen, Germany packaging center to the Dischingen, Germany battery plant, transferring private label
battery production at the Companys Dischingen, Germany battery plant to the Companys manufacturing facility in China and restructuring its sales, marketing and support functions. The Company recorded $175 of pretax restructuring and
related charges during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 in connection with the European Initiatives.

2005 Restructuring Initiatives
In connection with the acquisitions of United and Tetra in 2005, the Company implemented a series of initiatives to optimize the global resources of the combined companies. These initiatives included: integrating all
of Uniteds home and garden administrative services, sales and customer service functions into the Companys operations in Madison, Wisconsin; converting all information systems to SAP; consolidating Uniteds home and garden
manufacturing and distribution locations in North America; rationalizing the North America supply chain; and
24

(Amounts in thousands, except per share figures)
consolidating administrative, manufacturing and distribution facilities of the Companys Global Pet Supplies business. In addition, certain corporate
finance functions were shifted to the Companys global headquarters in Atlanta.
Effective October 1, 2006 the Company reflected
the operations of the Home and Garden Business as discontinued operations. (See Note 2, Significant Accounting PoliciesDiscontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale for further details on the discontinued Home and Garden Business). As a
result, as of October 1, 2006, initiatives to integrate the activities of the Home and Garden Business into the Companys operations in Madison, Wisconsin were suspended. The Company recorded $94 of pretax restructuring and related charges
during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 in connection with the integration of the United home and garden business.
Integration activities within Global Pet Supplies were substantially complete as of September 30, 2007. Global Pet Supplies integration activities consisted primarily of the rationalization of manufacturing facilities and the
optimization of the distribution network. As a result of these integration initiatives, two pet supplies facilities were closed in 2005, one in Brea, California and the other in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, one pet supply facility was closed in 2006, in
Hauppauge, New York and one pet supply facility was closed in 2007 in Moorpark, California. The Company recorded $266 of pretax restructuring and related charges during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 primarily in connection with
its integration activities within the Global Pet Supplies business.
In Fiscal 2005, the Company also announced the closure of a zinc
carbon manufacturing facility in France. The Company recorded no pretax restructuring and related charges during the three month period ended December 30, 2007 in connection with this closure.
The following table summarizes the remaining accrual balance associated with the 2005 initiatives and activity that occurred during Fiscal 2008:

of certain acquired Global Pet Supplies and home and garden manufacturing and distribution facilities. Such amounts are recognized as liabilities
assumed as part of the United acquisition and included in the allocation of the acquisition cost in accordance with the provisions of EITF 95-3

.

12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has provided for the estimated costs associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing
sites. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided of approximately $2,327, which may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows of the Company.
Included in long-term liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Microlite is a
provision for presumed credits applied to the Brazilian excise tax on Manufactured Products, or IPI taxes. Although a previous ruling by the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court has been issued in favor of a specific Brazilian
taxpayer with similar tax credits, on February 15, 2007 the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court ruled against certain Brazilian taxpayers with respect to the legality and constitutionality of the IPI presumed credits. This decision is
applicable to all similarly-situated taxpayers. At December 30 and September 30, 2007, these amounts totaled approximately $28,264 and $32,747, respectively, and are included in Other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets (Unaudited).
The Company is a defendant in various other matters of litigation generally arising out of the normal course
of business. Such litigation includes legal proceedings with Philips in Europe and Latin America with respect to trademark or other intellectual property rights.
The Company is also involved in an ongoing arbitration proceeding with Tabriza Brasil Empreendimentos Ltda., Interelectrica Administração e Participações Ltda., and VARTA AG, the former
owners of the Companys subsidiary Microlite S.A., with respect to a number of matters arising out of the Companys acquisition of Microlite, including the Companys right to receive indemnification for various alleged breaches of
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the selling shareholders in the acquisition agreement and the Companys obligation to pay additional amounts to Tabriza arising out of its earn-out rights under the acquisition
agreement. The Company acquired Microlite in the Companys fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. The arbitration on this matter is scheduled to be heard in February 2008. In November 2007, the arbitration panel resolved certain matters at
the summary judgment stage. All other disputed matters remain open pending the February 2008 hearing and the decision thereafter by the arbitration panel. Among the matters decided at the summary judgment stage, the arbitration panel found in favor
of Tabriza with respect to the questions of whether Tabriza is entitled to receive from the Company interest on certain earn-out payments previously made and whether Tabriza is entitled to receive from the Company an additional amount with respect
to the earn-out as a result of a decision issued by an independent auditor engaged by the parties to determine certain disputed matters submitted to it with respect to the earn-out calculation. The Company currently estimates that the additional
earn-out amounts owed to Tabriza arising out of the decisions on these two matters, which has been reflected as additional acquisition consideration, will be at least $5,000. Such additional amount due Tabriza is included in Accrued liabilities:
Other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) as of December 30 and September 30, 2007. Determination of the total net amount owed by or payable to the Company arising out of the arbitration proceeding cannot be determined
until the arbitration panel has issued its final decision following the February 2008 hearing.

13 NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007),
Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) will significantly change the accounting for future business combinations after adoption. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business
combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 141(R) will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
(SFAS
160), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests
and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parents equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income
attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any
gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157). SFAS
157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The FASB believes SFAS 157 also responds to investors requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair
value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of
fair value in any new circumstances. Under SFAS 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting
entity transacts. In SFAS 157, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting
entitys own data. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities, as well as any other assets and liabilities that
are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in financial statements, are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB did, however,
provide a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other non-financial assets. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any
financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 157 will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

14 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the acquisitions of Remington, United and Tetra, the Company completed debt offerings of Senior Subordinated Notes. Payment obligations
of the Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the Companys domestic subsidiaries.
The following consolidating financial data illustrates the components of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of
illustrating the consolidating presentation. Earnings of subsidiaries are therefore reflected in the Companys and Guarantor Subsidiaries investment accounts and earnings. The elimination entries presented herein eliminate investments in
subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. Separate condensed consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial statements would not be material to
investors.
