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 Plan’s 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 Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s 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.

SPECTRUM BRANDS 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

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 Plan’s 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 employee’s compensation that he or she contributed to the Plan and 50% of the next 2% of the eligible employee’s 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 Employee’s 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.

NOTE 1 — Description of the Plan (cont.)

     Contributions (cont.)

Company contributions to participant accounts are limited to the applicable limits of the Internal Revenue Code.

     Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an allocation of the Company’s contributions and Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations of Company contributions, Plan earnings, and administrative expenses are based on participant’s 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 participant’s 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 Plan’s 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.

     Spectrum Brands, Inc.

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.

     PIMCO Core Plus Bond Fund

U.S. Core Plus is a fund advised by PIMCO following their Full Authority Fixed Income Total Return Investment Strategy.

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 Plan’s investments is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s 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.

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 Plan’s 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 participant’s 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 participant’s 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.

     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 Sponsor’s 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 Plan’s 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 issuer’s 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:

		2009				2008
Average Yield Earned by the Plan			2.70	%			3.55	%
Average Yield Credited to Participants			2.70	%			3.55	%
Earned Yield less Credited Yield			0.00	%			0.00	%

     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 participant’s 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.

		December 31, 2009
		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Investments		$	107,791,497			$	74,638,163			$	10,484,551			$	22,668,783

Investments		$	94,377,895			$	60,791,206			$	10,127,729			$	23,458,960

The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below. These assets and liabilities consist of participant loans which are valued at amortized cost and fully benefit responsive guaranteed investment contracts which are valued at contract value.
