       Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data

         The following table sets forth certain summary unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial data for Rayovac. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2004 has been derived from Rayovac's audited statement of
operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 and United's unaudited
statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the
three months ended December 31, 2003, and gives effect to the acquisition by
Rayovac of United, the acquisition by United of United Pet Group and Nu-Gro,
the acquisition by Rayovac of Microlite, and related transactions, as if all
such transactions had occurred on October 1, 2003. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of September 30, 2004 has been
derived from Rayovac's audited balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 and
United's unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, and gives effect to
the acquisition of United and related transactions as if they occurred on
September 30, 2004.

         The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that we consider reasonable. The pro forma results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
would have been achieved had the transactions reflected therein been
consummated on the dates indicated or that will be achieved in the future. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is only a summary and
should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Financial Data," "Selected Financial Data--Rayovac,"
"Selected Financial Data--United," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Rayovac's, United's,
Microlite's, United Pet Group's and Nu-Gro's consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

   Notes to Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data

(1)   A final determination of fair values and useful lives of certain assets,
      which cannot be made prior to the completion of the acquisition of
      United, may differ from preliminary estimates made by management. Any
      final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price, which
      could affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, and
      could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed
      consolidated financial data.

(2)   Includes an income tax benefit as a result of United's reversal of a tax
      valuation allowance of $104.1 million.

(3)   EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations plus interest
      expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization (excluding
      amortization of debt issuance costs). Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA
      plus restructuring and related charges of Rayovac included within cost of
      goods sold and operating expenses, management's estimates of first year
      synergies related to the acquisition of United, the normalization of
      Microlite's results and other adjustments described below. Rayovac
      management believes that the negative EBITDA recognized by Microlite for
      the period from October 1, 2003 until May 28, 2004, which period was
      prior to the acquisition of Microlite by Rayovac, is not indicative of
      normalized results due to the significance of certain changes to
      Microlite's business implemented by Rayovac. These changes include price
      increases across all battery product lines; rationalization of
      Microlite's product lines, resulting in the discontinuance of certain low
      margin products; and the implementation of operational improvements which
      Rayovac management expects to generate manufacturing efficiencies.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial
      analysts in evaluating operating performance. Accordingly, management
      believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful for potential
      purchasers of notes in assessing our operating performance and our
      ability to meet our debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted
      EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to similarly
      titled measures of other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA and
      Adjusted EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results and
      liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
      isolation from, or as an alternative to, operating income, cash flow or
      other combined income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S.
      GAAP.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated from net income from continuing
      operations and reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities as
      follows:

- -------------------------

(1)   Fiscal 2002 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods
      sold of $1.2 million. See Note 15 in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated
      Financial Statements included in this offering memorandum for further
      discussion.

(2)   Fiscal 2003 includes a net sales reduction of approximately $6.1 million
      related to North American retailer inventory repricing programs
      associated with the launch of our comprehensive new alkaline pricing
      program announced in 2003. These programs were launched in response to
      Duracell's price reduction in the U.S. market on certain AA and AAA
      batteries. Fiscal 2003 includes restructuring and related charges--cost
      of goods sold of $21.1 million, and restructuring and related
      charges--operating expenses of $11.5 million. Fiscal 2003 also includes a
      non-operating expense of $3.1 million discussed in note (5) below. See
      Note 15 in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements
      included elsewhere in this offering memorandum for further discussion.

(3)   Fiscal 2003 is impacted by two acquisitions completed during the fiscal
      year. The VARTA acquisition was completed on October 1, 2002 and the
      Remington acquisition was completed on September 30, 2003. See further
      discussion of these acquisitions in "Management's Discussion of Financial
      Condition and Results of Operations--Rayovac," and in Note 16 in the
      Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
      in this offering memorandum.

(4)   Fiscal 2004 is impacted by two acquisitions completed during the fiscal
      year. The Ningbo acquisition was completed on March 31, 2004 and the
      Microlite acquisition was completed on May 28, 2004. See further
      discussion of these acquisitions in "Management's Discussion of Financial
      Condition and Results of Operations--Rayovac," and in Note 16 in the
      Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere
      in this offering memorandum.

      Fiscal 2004 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods
      sold of $(0.8) million, and restructuring and related charges--operating
      expenses of $12.2 million. See Note 15 in the Notes to Rayovac's
      Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this offering
      memorandum for further discussion.

(5)   SFAS 145, which addresses, among other things, the income statement
      presentation of gains and losses related to debt extinguishments,
      requires such expenses to no longer be treated as extraordinary items,
      unless the items meet the definition of extraordinary per Accounting
      Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 30. We adopted this statement on
      October 1, 2002. As a result, we recorded non-operating expenses within
      income before income taxes as follows during the fiscal years ended
      September 30, 2003 and 2001:

      In fiscal 2003, a non-operating expense of $3.1 million was recorded for
      the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the
      replacement of our previous credit facility in October 2002.

      In fiscal 2001, a non-operating expense of $8.6 million was recorded for
      the premium on the repurchase of $65.0 million of our senior subordinated
      notes and related write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in
      connection with a primary offering of our common stock in June 2001.

(6)   EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations plus interest
      expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization (excluding
      amortization of debt issuance costs). Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA
      plus restructuring and related charges included within the cost of goods
      sold and operating expenses and other adjustments described below.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial
      analysts in evaluating operating performance. Accordingly, management
      believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful for potential
      purchasers of the notes in assessing Rayovac's operating performance and
      its ability to meet debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted
      EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable with similarly
      titled measures of other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA and
      Adjusted EBITDA are significant in assessing Rayovac's operating results
      and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in
      isolation from, or as an alternative to, operating income, cash flow or
      other combined income of cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S.
      GAAP.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated from net income from continuing
      operations and reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities
      as follows:

                         Summary Financial Data--United

         The following table sets forth United's summary financial data. The
condensed consolidated financial data of United as of December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2003 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and
2003 have been derived from United's audited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. The condensed consolidated
financial data as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and
September 30, 2004 have been derived from United's unaudited consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. The
summary financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes
the results of Nu-Gro from the date United acquired it on April 30, 2004 and
the results of United Pet Group from the date United acquired it on July 30,
2004. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations
for United for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 have been derived from United's unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended December 31,
2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, included
elsewhere in this offering memorandum, which unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information gives effect to the acquisition of Nu-Gro
and United Pet Group at the beginning of the periods presented. The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial data as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2004 and the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2004
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of United's management, necessary for a fair presentation
of United's financial statements, results of operations and cash flows as of
and for the periods presented. The pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of United's results had the acquisitions reflected therein been
consummated on the dates indicated and the results included below and elsewhere
in this offering memorandum are not necessarily indicative of United's future
performance, and results of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of United's operations for
the full year. This information is only a summary and should be read in
conjunction with "Selected Financial Data--United," "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and United's,
United Pet Group's and Nu-Gro's consolidated financial statements and United's
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the notes
thereto included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. A final determination
of fair values and useful lives of certain assets of United Pet Group and
Nu-Gro may differ from preliminary estimates made by United's management. Any
final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price, which could
affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities, and could result
in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data.

- -----------------------------------------------

(1)   United's historical operating results for the year ended December 31,
      2002 include the operating results of Schultz from May 9, 2002, the date
      of merger, and WPC Brands from December 6, 2002, the date of acquisition.

(2)   United had initially reflected the guidance outlined in EITF 02-17,
      "Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a
      Business Combination" as of the date United finalized the allocation of
      the purchase price in connection with its acquisition of Schultz, in the
      first quarter of 2003, and began amortizing the customer relationship
      intangible asset over its remaining useful life. In March 2004, United
      determined that the effect of the application of EITF 02-17 should have
      been applied from the date of acquisition and, as such should have
      resulted in a $2.4 million non-cash charge for the additional
      amortization related to the final valuation of the $24.6 million customer
      relationship intangible asset. Accordingly, United restated the March 31,
      2003 quarterly financial information to include the non-cash adjustment,
      which has increased first quarter 2003 selling, general and
      administrative expenses by $2.4 million and decreased income before
      income tax expense and net income by $2.4 million, as the intangible
      assets are not deductible for tax purposes.

(3)   Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes
      a $9.3 million inventory write-up for inventory recorded at fair value in
      connection with the Nu-Gro and United Pet Group acquisitions in April
      2004 and July 2004, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the year ended
      December 31, 2003 includes a $1.3 million inventory write-up for
      inventory recorded at fair value in connection with the WPC Brands
      acquisition in December 2002. Cost of goods sold for the year ended
      December 31, 2002 includes a $1.5 million inventory write-up for
      inventory recorded at fair value in connection with the Schultz merger in
      May 2002.

(4)   During the year ended December 31, 2001, United recorded an $8.5 million
      charge, of which $5.6 million was recorded in facilities and
      organizational rationalization related to a warehouse consolidation
      project and severance costs associated with an early voluntary retirement
      program, $2.7 million was recorded in cost of goods sold as a result of
      obsolete inventory related to the discontinuance of a product, and $0.2
      million was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. In
      addition, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended
      December 31, 2003 includes a $2.4 million non-cash charge for additional
      amortization related to the final valuation of the $24.6 million customer
      relationship intangible asset acquired in United's merger with Schultz as
      previously described in note (2) above. For more information, see
      "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations--United--Other Events and Recent Strategic Transactions."

(5)   During the year ended December 31, 2003, United determined it was more
      likely than not that it would fully utilize its deferred tax assets and,
      accordingly, it fully reversed the valuation allowance of $104.1 million
      resulting in an income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2003.

(6)   EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense, income tax expense,
      depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization or write-off of
      debt issuance costs). Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash
      charges included within operating expenses, such as depreciation and
      amortization expense associated with the write-up of fixed assets and
      intangible assets acquired from Nu-Gro and United Pet Group to estimated
      fair value on their acquisition dates, as required by purchase
      accounting, and other non-cash expenses, and nonrecurring charges
      included within operating expenses, such as rationalization of certain
      facilities and organizational activities in 2001.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial
      analysts in evaluating performance. Accordingly, management believes that
      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful for potential purchasers of
      notes in assessing our operating performance and our ability to meet our
      debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein,
      are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other
      companies. The items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
      significant in assessing our operating results and liquidity. EBITDA and
      Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as an
      alternative to, operating income, cash flow or other combined income or
      cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

      EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated from net income and reconciled
      to operating income as follows:

      include amortization of goodwill. The year ended December 31, 2001
      includes amortization expense related to goodwill of less than $0.1
      million. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31,
      2003 includes a $2.4 million non-cash charge for additional amortization
      related to the final valuation of the $24.6 million customer relationship
      intangible asset acquired in United's merger with Schultz. For more

                                                                   EXHIBIT 99.4

     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

      The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as
of September 30, 2004 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 are based
on the consolidated financial statements of Rayovac and United after giving
effect to Rayovac's acquisition of Microlite, United's acquisitions of Nu-Gro
and United Pet Group and consummation of the respective transactions, including
the acquisition of United, and the assumptions and adjustments described in the
accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
data.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2004 has been derived from Rayovac's condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 and United's unaudited consolidated
balance sheet as of September 30, 2004, adjusted to give effect to the
transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2004. The unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2004 has been derived from Rayovac's audited statement of
operations data for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 and United's
unaudited statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30,
2004 and the three months ended December 31, 2003. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2004 gives effect to the transactions as if they occurred at the
beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2004 gives effect to United's acquisition of Nu-Gro, which occurred on April
30, 2004, Rayovac's acquisition of Microlite, which occurred on May 28, 2004,
and United's acquisition of United Pet Group, which occurred on July 30, 2004,
and the acquisition of United by Rayovac as if each acquisition occurred at the
beginning of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of operations excludes non-recurring items directly
attributable to the transactions.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are based
on preliminary estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such
information. Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated
purchase price for the respective transactions, the new debt and equity
structure and to adjust amounts related to United's assets and liabilities to a
preliminary estimate of their fair values. Pro forma adjustments are also
necessary to reflect interest expense and the income tax effect related to the
pro forma adjustments.

      The pro forma adjustments and allocation of purchase price are
preliminary and are based on management's estimates of the fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation
will be completed after asset and liability valuations are finalized. This
final valuation will be based on the actual assets and liabilities of United
that exist as of the date of the completion of the transactions as well as the
actual assets and liabilities of Microlite that existed as of the date Rayovac
acquired it and the actual assets and liabilities of Nu-Gro and United Pet
Group as of the respective dates United acquired them. Any final adjustments
may change the allocation of purchase price which could affect the fair value
assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a change to the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data, including pro forma
net income. In addition, the impact of integration activities, the timing of
the completion of the transactions and other changes in United's assets and
liabilities prior to completion of the transactions could cause material
differences in the information presented.

      The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are
presented for informational purposes only and have been derived from, and
should be read in conjunction with, "Selected Financial Data--Rayovac",
"Selected Financial Data--United" and the consolidated financial statements of
Rayovac and United, including the notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments, as
described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial data, are based on currently available information and certain
adjustments that we believe are reasonable. They are not necessarily indicative
of our consolidated financial position or results of operations that would have
occurred had the transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

                                  Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

(1)   The total estimated consideration as shown in the table below is allocated to the assets and liabilities of United
      as if the transactions had occurred on September 30, 2004. The allocation set forth below is preliminary. The
      unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information assumes that the historical values of United's
      current assets, current liabilities and property plant and equipment approximate fair value, except as adjusted,
      pending forthcoming appraisals and other financial information.

      The allocation of consideration to acquired intangible assets is subject to the outcome of independent appraisals
      to be conducted after the completion of the transactions. A pro forma allocation of the consideration to the
      identifiable intangible assets of United has not been performed below, instead all residual consideration has been
      allocated to goodwill. The actual amounts recorded when the combination transactions are completed may differ
      materially from the pro forma amounts presented below.

   Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations

(1)   Represents the unaudited historical operating results for Microlite for
      the period from October 1, 2003 to May 28, 2004.

(2)   Reclassification of Microlite expenses from interest expense to selling,
      general and administrative expenses to conform to the Rayovac
      presentation.

(3)   Reclassification of Microlite expenses to conform to Rayovac's
      presentation, net of additional interest expense of $0.9 million incurred
      in connection with the acquisition of Microlite.

(4)   No net income tax benefit has been recognized in connection with
      Microlite's operating loss for the period from October 1, 2003 to May 28,
      2004. Based on historical levels of income and the length of time required
      to utilize its deferred tax assets, Rayovac determined that it was more
      likely than not that it would not fully utilize its Microlite deferred tax
      assets and therefore recorded a valuation allowance against the benefit of
      such losses.

(5)   Represents the historical operating results for United for the
      twelve-month period ended September 30, 2004, including the results of
      United Pet Group from July 30, 2004, its date of acquisition, through
      September 30, 2004, and Nu-Gro from April 30, 2004, its date of
      acquisition, through September 30, 2004.

(6)   Represents the historical operating results for United Pet Group for the
      period from October 1, 2003 to July 30, 2004.

(7)   Represents the historical operating results for Nu-Gro for the period from
      October 1, 2003 to April 30, 2004.

(8)   Represents a reclassification of $7.7 million of United Pet Group freight
      costs from selling, general and administrative expenses to conform with
      the accounting treatment for such costs by United. The adjustment also
      includes an adjustment to record incremental depreciation expense related
      to property and equipment acquired in the United Pet Group acquisition
      based on estimated fair values. Such property and equipment is being
      depreciated using the straight-line method over varying periods, the
      average of which is approximately 10 years.

(9)   Represents an adjustment to record approximately $8.8 million of
      incremental amortization expense related to intangible assets (other than
      goodwill) acquired in the United Pet Group and Nu-Gro acquisitions, based
      on estimated fair values. Intangible assets acquired included trade
      names, patents and customer relationships. The majority of acquired trade
      names are being amortized using the straight-line method over periods
      ranging from 5 to 40 years, while several trade names have been
      determined to have indefinite lives. Patents acquired and customer
      relationships are being amortized using the straight-line method over 15
      years and 5 years, respectively. This adjustment is partially offset by
      the reclassification of $7.7 million of United Pet Group freight costs
      from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of goods sold
      to conform with the accounting treatment for such costs by United.

(10)  Represents the change in interest expense related to the senior credit
      facility executed by United on April 30, 2004, a portion of the proceeds
      of which were used to finance the Nu-Gro acquisition, and the amendment
      of such senior credit facility on July 30, 2004, a portion of the
      proceeds of which were used to finance the United Pet Group acquisition.

(11)  Represents the income tax benefit associated with the adjustments
      described herein to arrive at an estimated pro forma 2004 statutory tax
      rate of 38%.

(12)  Represents a reclassification of freight costs from cost of goods sold to
      selling, general and administrative expenses to conform with the
      accounting treatment for such costs by Rayovac.

(13)  Represents increased interest expense, net of a reclassification of
      interest income, associated with the debt issued and refinanced in
      connection with the transactions. The effect of a 0.125% change in the
      expected interest rate on the approximately $1 billion of variable rate
      debt to be incurred in connection with the transactions is approximately
      $1.3 million.

(14)  Represents a reclassification of interest income from interest expense,
      net, to conform to Rayovac's presentation.

(15)  Represents the income tax benefit associated with the adjustments
      described herein to arrive at an estimated pro forma 2004 statutory tax
      rate of 38%.

(16)  Includes a reduction of income tax expense of $104.1 million, reflecting
      a full reversal of United's valuation allowance originally established
      against the tax deductible goodwill deduction and certain net operating
      loss carryforwards that were generated in 1999 through 2003. Based on
      historical levels of income and the length of time required to utilize
      its deferred tax assets, Rayovac determined that it was more likely than
      not that it would fully utilize its deferred tax assets and that it was
      no longer necessary to maintain a valuation allowance. The following
      table excludes this one-time adjustment from income tax expense in
      arriving at net income:

(1)  Fiscal 2001 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods sold of $22.1 million, and restructuring and
     related charges--operating expenses of $0.2 million. Fiscal 2001 also includes a non-operating expense of $8.6
     million discussed in note (8) below.

(2)  Fiscal 2002 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods sold of $1.2 million. See Note 15 in the
     Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum for further
     discussion.

(3)  Fiscal 2003 includes a net sales reduction of approximately $6.1 million related to North American retailer
     inventory repricing programs associated with the launch of our comprehensive new alkaline pricing program announced
     in 2003. These programs were launched in response to Duracell's price reduction in the U.S. market on certain AA
     and AAA batteries.

     Fiscal 2003 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods sold of $21.1 million, and restructuring and
     related charges--operating expenses of $11.5 million. Fiscal 2003 also includes a non-operating expense of $3.1
     million discussed in note (8) below. See Note 15 in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements
     included elsewhere in this offering memorandum for further discussion.

(4)  Fiscal 2003 is impacted by two acquisitions completed during the fiscal year. The VARTA acquisition was completed
     on October 1, 2002 and the Remington acquisition was completed on September 30, 2003. See further discussion of
     acquisitions in "Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Rayovac" and in Note 16
     in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

(5)  Fiscal 2004 is impacted by two acquisitions completed during the fiscal year. The Ningbo acquisition was completed
     on March 31, 2004 and the Microlite acquisition was completed on May 28, 2004. See further discussion of
     acquisitions in "Management's Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Rayovac" and in Note 16
     in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

     Fiscal 2004 includes restructuring and related charges--cost of goods sold of $(0.8) million, and restructuring and
     related charges--operating expenses of $12.2 million. See Note 15 in the Notes to Rayovac's Consolidated Financial
     Statements included in this offering memorandum for further discussion.

(6)  Certain reclassifications have been made to reflect the adoption of the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") No.
     01-09 for periods prior to adoption in fiscal 2002. EITF 01-09 addresses the recognition, measurement and income
     statement classification of various types of sales incentives, either as a reduction to revenue or as an expense.
     Concurrent with the adoption of EITF 01-09, we reclassified certain accrued trade incentives as a contra-receivable
     versus our previous presentation as a component of accounts payable.

(7)  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we
     ceased amortizing goodwill on October 1, 2001. Upon initial application of SFAS 142, we reassessed the useful lives
     of our intangible assets and deemed only the trade name to have an indefinite useful life because it is expected to
     generate cash flows indefinitely. Based on this, we ceased amortizing the trade name on October 1, 2001. Goodwill
     and trade name amortization expense for 2000 and 2001 included in depreciation and amortization in operating income
     are as follows:

                                                                                2000        2001

(8)  SFAS 145, which addresses, among other things, the income statement presentation of gains and losses related to
     debt extinguishments, requires such expenses to no longer be treated as extraordinary items, unless the items meet
     the definition of extraordinary per APB Opinion No. 30. We adopted this statement on October 1, 2002. As a result,
     we recorded non-operating expenses within income before income taxes as follows during the fiscal years ended
     September 30, 2003 and 2001:

     In fiscal 2003, a non-operating expense of $3.1 million was recorded for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance
     costs associated with the replacement of our previous credit facility in October 2002.

     In fiscal 2001, a non-operating expense of $8.6 million was recorded for the premium on the repurchase of $65.0
     million of our senior subordinated notes and related write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs in connection
     with a primary offering of our common stock in June 2001.

(9)  EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation
     and amortization (excluding amortization of debt issuance costs). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBTIDA plus
     restructuring and related charges included within the cost of goods sold and operating expenses and other items
     described below.

     EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance. Accordingly,
     management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful for potential purchasers of the notes in
     assessing Rayovac's operating performance and its ability to meet debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted
     EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. The items
     excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant in assessing Rayovac's operating results and liquidity.
     EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, operating income,
     cash flow or other combined income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

     EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated from net income from continuing operations and reconciled to net cash
     provided by operating activities as follows:

                                                                          Fiscal Year Ended September 30,

- -----------------------------------

(1)    United's historical operating results for the year ended December 31, 2002 include the operating results of Schultz from
       May 9, 2002, the date of merger, and WPC Brands from December 6, 2002, the date of acquisition.

(2)    United had initially reflected the guidance outlined in EITF 02-17, "Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible
       Assets Acquired in a Business Combination" as of the date United finalized the allocation of the purchase price in
       connection with its acquisition of Schultz, in the first quarter of 2003, and began amortizing the customer relationship
       intangible asset over its remaining useful life. In March 2004, United determined that the effect of the application of
       EITF 02-17 should have been applied from the date of acquisition and, as such should have resulted in a $2.4 million
       non-cash charge for the additional amortization related to the final valuation of the $24.6 million customer relationship
       intangible asset. Accordingly, United restated the March 31, 2003 quarterly financial information to include the non-cash
       adjustment, which has increased first quarter 2003 selling, general and administrative expenses by $2.4 million and
       decreased income before income tax expense and net income by $2.4 million, as the intangible assets are not deductible
       for tax purposes.

(3)    Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes a $9.3 million inventory write-up for inventory
       recorded at fair value in connection with the Nu-Gro and United Pet Group acquisitions in April 2004 and July 2004,
       respectively. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2003 includes a $1.3 million inventory write-up for
       inventory recorded at fair value in connection with the WPC Brands acquisition in December 2002. Cost of goods sold for
       the year ended December 31, 2002 includes a $1.5 million inventory write-up for inventory recorded at fair value in
       connection with the Schultz merger in May 2002.

(4)    During the year ended December 31, 2001, United recorded an $8.5 million charge, of which $5.6 million was recorded in
       facilities and organizational rationalization related to a warehouse consolidation project and severance costs associated
       with an early voluntary retirement program, $2.7 million was recorded in cost of goods sold as a result of obsolete
       inventory related to the discontinuance of a product, and $0.2 million was recorded in selling, general and
       administrative expenses. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003
       includes a $2.4 million non-cash charge for additional amortization related to the final valuation of the $24.6 million
       customer relationship intangible asset acquired in United's merger with Schultz as previously described in note (2)
       above. For more information, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
       Operations--United--Other Events and Recent Strategic Transactions," included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.

(5)    During the year ended December 31, 2003, United determined it was more likely than not that it would fully utilize its
       deferred tax assets and, accordingly, it fully reversed the valuation allowance of $104.1 million resulting in an income
       tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2003.

(6)    EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (excluding
       amortization or write-off of debt issuance costs). Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus non-cash charges included
       within operating expenses, such as depreciation and amortization expense associated with the write-up of fixed assets and
       intangible assets acquired from Nu-Gro and United Pet Group to estimated fair value on their acquisition dates, as
       required by purchase accounting, and other non-cash expenses, and nonrecurring charges included within operating
       expenses, such as rationalization of certain facilities and organizational activities in 2001.

       EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance. Accordingly,
       management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful for potential purchasers of notes in assessing our
       operating performance and our ability to meet our debt service requirements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein,
       are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The items excluded from EBITDA and
       Adjusted EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results and liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not
       be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, operating income, cash flow or other combined income or cash
       flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

       EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated from net income and reconciled to operating income as follows ($ in millions):
