NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on a balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. Current guidance generally requires entities to capitalize costs paid to third parties that are directly related to issuing debt and that otherwise wouldn’t be incurred, and present those amounts separately as deferred charges. During the three month period ended January 3, 2016, the Company retrospectively applied the adoption of this ASU, resulting in a reclassification of $65.1 million of debt issuance costs as of September 30, 2015.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The ASU simplifies the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent on a balance sheet. Current guidance requires an entity to separate deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts. The new guidance requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented as noncurrent as the separate current classification results in little to no benefit to users of the financial statements because the classification does not generally align with the time period in which the recognized deferred tax amounts are expected to be recovered or settled. During the three month period ended January 3, 2016, the Company retrospectively applied the adoption of this ASU, resulting in a reclassification of $44.7 million of current deferred tax assets and $4.6 million of current deferred tax liabilities as of September 30, 2015.

The following is a summary of the reclassifications from the retrospective adoption of the ASUs discussed above, as of September 30, 2015 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively:


	Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.						SB/RH Holdings, LLC
Statement of Financial Position (in millions)	As Reported		Reclassification		As Reclassified		As Reported		Reclassification		As Reclassified
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	116.8	$	(44.7)	$	72.1	$	116.8	$	(44.7)	$	72.1
Deferred charges and other		101.7		(59.5)		42.2		101.6		(59.5)		42.1
Other current liabilities		(217.3)		4.6		(212.7)		(216.5)		4.6		(211.9)
Long-term debt, net of current portion		(3,937.2)		65.1		(3,872.1)		(3,937.2)		65.1		(3,872.1)
Deferred taxes (noncurrent liability)		(607.0)		34.5		(572.5)		(607.0)		34.5		(572.5)

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The ASU simplifies the presentation of provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period (one year from the date of acquisition). Current guidance requires retrospective adjustment of prior periods; the new guidance eliminates this requirement. The Company applied the adoption of this ASU effective the first day of the year ending September 30, 2016 and all subsequent measurement period adjustments are recorded in the period identified, resulting in the recognition of adjustments to goodwill from the Armored AutoGroup (“AAG”) acquisition. See Note 8 for adjustments to goodwill.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest Rate Swaps. 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 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 counterparties included in accrued liabilities or receivables, respectively, and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fix the interest on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.36% for a notional principal amount of $300.0 million through April 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.3 million, net of tax. The Company’s interest rate swap derivative financial instruments at April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015 are as follows:



	April 3, 2016				September 30, 2015
(in millions)	Notional Amount		Remaining Years		Notional Amount		Remaining Years
Interest rate swaps - fixed	$	300.0		1.0	$	300.0		1.5

Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically zinc and brass used in its manufacturing processes. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials through the use of commodity 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 swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of zinc and brass swap contracts outstanding through September 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.4 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Reals, Mexican Pesos, Canadian Dollars or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of 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 on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 2017. The derivative net losses estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $1.1 million, net of tax. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $252.8 million and $300.6 million, respectively.

Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes

Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward and swap foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. 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. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through May 2016. At April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had $262.4 million and $126.8 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding.

Commodity Swaps. The Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to economically hedge the risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically the pass-through of market prices for silver used in manufacturing purchased watch batteries. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with these materials through the use of commodity swaps. The swap contracts are designated as economic hedges with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in earnings and as an asset or liability at each period end. The unrecognized changes in the fair value of the hedge contracts are adjusted through earnings when the realized gains or losses affect earnings upon settlement of the hedges. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of silver through a specified date. At April 3, 2016, the Company had a series of commodity swaps outstanding through August 2016. The Company had the following commodity swaps outstanding as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015:

The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each such counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which was less than $0.1 million as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral as a result of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, there was $0.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of posted cash collateral related to such liability positions. In addition, as of April 3, 2016 and September 30, 2015, the Company had no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. The cash collateral is included in Other Receivables in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

The following table summarizes the impact of derivative instruments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015, pretax:

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Apr. 03, 2016
Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES SBH's effective tax rate for the three month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 16.5% and 22.5%, respectively. SB/RH's effective tax rate for the three month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 21.2% and 21.5%, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income. SBH’s effective tax rate for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 12.8% and 26.9%, respectively. SB/RH’s effective tax rate for the six month periods ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 15.1% and 26.2%, respectively. The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to these periods differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to statutory rates lower than 35% and the release of valuation allowance on U.S. net operating losses deferred tax assets offsetting tax expense on U.S. pretax income. For the six month period ended April 3, 2016, the effective tax rate was also reduced $5.9 million for non-recurring items related to the impact of tax law changes and changes in state deferred tax rates on the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities. In December 2015, the Company received a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service which resulted in approximately $88 million of U.S. net operating losses being restored. The ruling created additional U.S. deferred tax assets and valuation allowance during the three and six month periods ended April 3, 2016. During the three month period ended April 3, 2016, the Company determined it is more likely than not its U.S. deferred tax assets will be used to reduce taxable income, except for tax attributes subject to ownership change limitations, capital losses, and certain state operating losses and credits that will expire unused. The Company estimates the total unused tax benefits are approximately $209 million. The Company has projected to release approximately $84 million of valuation allowance during the year ending September 30, 2016 based on estimates of taxable income. Since the release is expected to be realized as a result of ordinary income for the year ending September 30, 2016, the entire $84 million is included in the calculation of the estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year.
