Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator
Spectrum Brands 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of
the Spectrum Brands 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and
the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the plan as of December 31, 2009,
and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of Spectrum Brands 401(k) Retirement
Savings Plan, as listed in the table of contents, is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 1 Description of the Plan
The following description of the Spectrum Brands 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan)
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan, originally effective as of July 1, 1983 was amended and restated in its entirety on May
1, 2006. The Plan, as amended and restated, is intended to qualify as a profit-sharing plan under
Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a), and includes a cash or deferred arrangement that is intended
to qualify under Code Section 401(k). The Plan is maintained for the exclusive benefit of eligible
employees and their beneficiaries.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering the employees of various companies under Spectrum
Brands, Inc. (the Company or the Plan Sponsor). The purpose of the Plan is to provide
supplemental support for participants upon their retirement. It is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Eligibility
Each Company employee who was an eligible employee immediately prior to a merger date continued to
be an eligible employee subsequent to the merger. Each Company employee, other than a United
Industries Bargaining Unit Employee or a Rayovac union employee, shall become an eligible employee
as of the next enrollment date following the date on which they become an employee.
Each United Industries Bargaining Unit Employee who was not an eligible employee immediately prior
to the merger date shall become an eligible employee as of the next enrollment date following the
date on which they completed one year of eligible service.
Each Rayovac union employee who was not an eligible employee immediately prior to the merger date
shall become an eligible employee as of the enrollment date coinciding with or next following the
date on which they completed 180 days of eligible service.
Contributions
Active participants are permitted to make contributions to the Plan in whole percentages up to 50%
of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document, subject to applicable limits
of the Internal Revenue Code.
Until April 1, 2009, for non-union employees, the employer was required to match the first 3% of
the eligible employees compensation that he or she contributed to the Plan and 50% of the next 2%
of the eligible employees compensation that he or she contributed to the plan. Additional amounts
could also have been contributed at the option of the employer. Effective April 1, 2009, the
employer match requirement was suspended for the remainder of the plan year.
The employer is required to match 25% of each United Industries Bargaining Unit Employees tax
deferred contributions up to 6% of their compensation. Additional amounts may also be contributed
at the option of the employer. While Rayovac union employees do not receive a company matching
contribution, certain employees are entitled to a 3% of compensation profit sharing contribution.

Revenue Code.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and an allocation of

expenses. Allocations of Company contributions, Plan earnings, and administrative expenses are
based on participants compensation or account balances, as defined in the Plan document.
Vesting
A participant is fully vested in his or her account balance attributable to both the employee and
employer contributions made prior to January 1, 2007.
A participants vested interest in employer contributions made on or after January 1, 2007 varies
by division. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the
Plans vesting provisions.
Forfeited Accounts
As of December 31, 2009, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $2,165. These accounts will be used
to reduce future Company contributions.
Investment Fund Options

to certain investment choices offered under the Plan. Descriptions of the investment fund options
at December 31, 2009 are as follows:

There were $133,357 of Plan assets in this investment at December 31, 2008. Effective January 1,
2009, the Plan Sponsor elected to discontinue future contributions in the Plan Sponsor Stock. In
February 2009, the Plan Sponsor filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
the bankruptcy code. The petition was approved and on the effective date all existing equity
securities were cancelled. There were no investments in Plan sponsor stock at December 31, 2009.

NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis and present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in those assets in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
The fair value of the Plans investments is based on the beginning of year value of the Plans
interest in the assets (based on the fair value of the respective investments, as described in the
following paragraph) plus actual contributions and allocated investment income, including
unrealized gains and losses, less actual distributions, and allocated administrative expenses.
Investments in shares of mutual funds are stated at quoted net asset values based on market prices.
Investments in shares of Spectrum Brands common stock were stated at quoted market prices.
For the guaranteed investment contract described in Note 5, fair value and contract value are
approximately the same.
Page 8
SPECTRUM BRANDS 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition (cont.)
Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. The Plan reports realized
and unrealized gains and losses for financial statement purposes based on revalued cost wherein
cost is determined to be fair value at the end of the prior plan year, or historical cost if the
investment was acquired since the beginning of the plan year, as required by the Department of
Labor. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
The Plans investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit
risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty
related to changes in the values of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in
risks in the near term would materially affect participants account balances and the amounts
reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits.
Benefits Paid
Benefits paid to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Administrative Expenses
Expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid both by the Plan and by the Company.
Administrative expenses and investment advisory fees paid by the Plan for 2009 were $89,979 net of
a $65,000 reimbursement from its third party administrator.
Use of Estimates
The Plan Administrator has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of
net assets available for plan benefits and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits during the reporting period to prepare these financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Participant Loans
Eligible participants may receive loans from their accounts up to the lesser of 50% of the
individual participants vested account balance or $50,000. If the participant has received a loan
in the past, however, the $50,000 limit is reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during
the preceding 12-month period. Loan terms must not exceed five years, except in the case of loans
used for purchase of a primary residence, in which case the loan period will be determined at the
time the loan is made. Loans are secured by the vested balance in the participants account and
bear interest at a reasonable rate commensurate with current interest rates charged for loans made
under similar circumstances. Principal and interest payments are due on a quarterly basis or more
often and are reinvested in the investment option(s) selected by the participant.

NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Subsequent Events
The company has evaluated subsequent events occurring through June 29, 2010, the date that the
financial statements were available to be issued, for events requiring recording or disclosure in
the December 31, 2009 financial statements.
NOTE 3 Party-in-interest Transactions
The Plan was invested in common stock of Spectrum Brands, Inc., the Plan Sponsor, prior to the Plan
Sponsors reorganization in 2009.
The Plan has not considered Company contributions to the Plan or benefits paid by the Plan for
participants as party-in-interest transactions.
Administrative expenses and investment advisory fees paid by the Plan for 2009 were $89,979 net of
a $65,000 reimbursement from its third party administrator.
Fees paid during the year for certain professional services rendered by parties-in-interest were
based on customary and reasonable rates for such services.
NOTE 4 Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 20,
2000, that the Plan and related Trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However,
the plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, the plan
continues to qualify under Section 401(k) and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of
December 31, 2009.
Therefore, no provision for income taxes is included in the Plans financial statements.
NOTE 5 Investment Contract With Insurance Company
Nature and Operation of Contract
In 2006, the Plan entered into a benefit-responsive investment contract with Prudential Retirement
Insurance and Annuity Company (Prudential Insurance) as part of the Guaranteed Income Fund (GIF).
Prudential Insurance maintains the contributions in a general account. Under the group annuity
insurance contract that supports this product, participants may ordinarily direct permitted
withdrawals or transfers of all or a portion of their account balance at Contract Value within
reasonable timeframes. Contract Value represents deposits made to the contract, plus earnings at
guaranteed crediting rates, less withdrawals and fees. The contract is effected directly between
the plan sponsor (or their trustee) and the issuer. The repayment of principal and interest
credited to participants is a financial obligation of the issuer. Given these provisions, the
trustee considers this contract to be benefit responsive.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 5 Investment Contract With Insurance Company (cont.)
Interest Crediting Rates
Interest is credited on contract balances using a single portfolio rate approach. Under this
methodology, a single interest crediting rate is applied to all contributions made to the product
regardless of the timing of those contributions. Interest crediting rates are reviewed on a
semi-annual basis for resetting.
When establishing interest crediting rates for this product, Prudential considers many factors,
including current economic and market conditions, the general interest rate environment and both
the expected and actual experience of a reference portfolio within the issuers general account.
These rates are established without the use of a specific formula. The minimum crediting rate under
the contract is 1.50%.
Average Yield
The Average Earnings Yield shown is calculated by dividing the earnings credited to the Plan on the
last day of the plan year by the end of plan year Fair Value and then annualizing the result. The
Average Crediting Rate Yield shown is calculated by dividing the earnings credited to the
participants on the last day of the plan year by the end of plan year Fair Value and then
annualizing the result. As a result of current GIF product construction, no adjustment will be
required to mediate between the average earnings credited to the Plan and the average earnings
credited to the participants. Note that for products whose Fair Value differs from Contract Value
and/or for products that have multiple rate changes during the plan year, these reported yields may
differ from the actual earnings rates crediting to the Plan as well as the actual crediting rates
paid to participants during the full plan year. Average Yields for the Plan are as follows as of
December 31:

Events
Generally, there are not any events that could limit the ability of the Plan to transact at
Contract Value paid within 90 days or in rare circumstances, Contract Value paid over time.
There are not any events that allow the issuer to terminate the contract and which require the plan
sponsor to settle at an amount different than Contract Value paid either within 90 days or over
time.

NOTE 6 Plan Termination
The Company has the right under the Plan agreement to reduce or cease contributions at the
discretion of the Board of Directors, or to amend the Plan at any time and in any respect. However,
no such action may deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right. In
the event the Plan is wholly or partially terminated, or upon the complete discontinuance of
contributions under the Plan by any entity that is a part of the Company, each participants
interest in their account shall be nonforfeitable on the date of such termination or
discontinuance.
NOTE 7 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value
hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
Assets and liabilities measured, reported and/or disclosed at fair value will be classified and
disclosed in one of the following three categories:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market
data. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
The table below presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by
level within the hierarchy.
