Rayovac
401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Employees
We
have
audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of
Rayovac 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Employees as of December 31, 2005,
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended. 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 audit.
We
conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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, 2005, 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.

Payment
of Benefits
Upon
retirement or termination of employment, the participant's vested account

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.
Trust
Fund Managed by New York Life Trust Company
Under
the
terms of a trust agreement between the New York Life Trust Company (the Trustee)
and the Plan, the Trustee manages the Master Trust on behalf of the Plan:
Valuation
of Investments and Income Recognition
The
fair
value of the Plan's interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning
of
year value of the Plan's interest in the Master Trust (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. Investments
in
shares of Spectrum Brands common stock are stated at quoted market
prices.
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.
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
statement 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.

NOTE
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(cont.)
Administrative
Expenses
Expenses
incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid both by the Plan and by
the
Company. Administrative expenses for 2005 were approximately $6,100. The fees
paid by the Company for 2005 were approximately $3,300. The fees paid by the
Plan for 2005, which consist of management fees, were approximately
$2,800.
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 financials statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Participant
Loans
Participants
represented by Local Union 1329 and Badger Lodge 1406 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 must not exceed ten years. Loans are secured by the vested
balance in the participant's account and bear interest at the prime rate plus
150 basis points. 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
3 - Party-in-interest Transactions
The
Plan
has not considered Company contributions to the Plan or benefits paid by the
Plan for participants as party-in-interest transactions.
Fees
incurred by the Plan for investment management services amounted to
approximately $2,800 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Fees
paid
during the year for legal, accounting, actuarial, and other 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 March 19, 2002, 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, 2005. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes is included in the Plan's financial
statements.

NOTE
5 - 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
6 - Master Trust for Spectrum Brands

December 31, 2005, the Plan's investment assets were held in a trust
account at New York Life and consist of an interest in a Master Trust. The
Master Trust also includes the investment assets of the Rayovac 401(k)

audited the accompanying statement of assets available for benefits of the
Rayovac 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the Plan) as of December
31,
2004, and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits
for
the year then ended. 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 audit.
We
conducted our audit 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December
31, 2004, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year then
ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

(1) Description
of the Plan
The
following description of the Rayovac 401(k) Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s
provisions.
(a)
General
The
Plan
is a defined contribution plan established January 1, 1998, covering hourly
union employees, who have completed one hour of service, of Rayovac Corporation
(“the Company” or “the Plan Sponsor”) represented by Local Union 1329
of the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural
Implement Workers of America (Local Union 1329), Local 695 of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and Badger Lodge 1406 of the
International Association of Machinists (Badger Lodge 1406). 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). The Plan’s assets are included in
the Master Trust for Rayovac Corporation (Master Trust). The Master Trust
also includes the assets of the Rayovac 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan,
which covers all domestic salaried and non-union hourly employees.
(b)
Contributions
Active
participants represented by Local Union 1329 and Badger Lodge 1406 are
permitted to make contributions to the Plan in whole percentages of not more
than 50% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document.
All other participants are permitted to make contributions not exceeding 50%
of
their pre-tax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document. Participant
contributions are limited to the applicable limits of the Internal Revenue
Code
(the Code).
(c)
Participant
Accounts
Each
participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and an
allocation of Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative
expenses. Allocations are based on participant’s compensation or account
balances, as defined in the Plan document.
(d)
Vesting
A
participant is fully vested in his or her entire account balance, including
the
balances attributable to both the employee contributions and employer
contributions, at all times.

Investment
Fund Options
Participant
contributions and investment earnings were directed by the individual Plan
participants to certain investment choices offered under the Plan through the

follows:

only.

the
same proportions as they are represented in the S&P 500 Index. The fund
seeks to replicate the aggregate price and yield performance of the
S&P 500 Index. Balances in this fund may also be invested in short-term
money market instruments.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis and
present the assets available for plan benefits and changes in those assets
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America.
(b)
Trust
Fund Managed by New York Life Trust Company
Under
the
terms of a trust agreement between the New York Life Trust Company (the Trustee)
and the Plan, the Trustee manages the Master Trust on behalf of the
Plan.
(c)
Valuation
of Investments and Income Recognition
The
fair
value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of
year value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust (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. Investments
in
shares of Rayovac Corporation common stock are stated at quoted market
prices.
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.
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
statement of assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes
in
assets available for plan benefits.
(d)
Benefits
Paid
Benefits
paid to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Savings Plan for Hourly Employees
Notes

Financial Statements
December

(e)
Administrative
Expenses
Expenses
incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid both by the Plan and by
the
Company. Administrative expenses for 2004 were approximately $8,000. The fees
paid by the Company for 2004 were approximately $5,000. The fees paid by the
Plan for 2004, which consist of management fees, were approximately $3,000
in
2004 (See Note 4).
(f)
Use
of Estimates
The
Plan
Administrator has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of 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 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.
(g)
Participant
Loans
Participants
represented by Local Union 1329 and Badger Lodge 1406 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 must not exceed ten years.
Loans are secured by the vested balance in the participant’s account and bear
interest at the Prime Rate plus 150 basis points. 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.
(3)
Federal
Income Tax Status
The
Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated March 19, 2002, that the Plan and related Trust are designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan
Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated
in
compliance 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, 2004. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes is included in the Plan’s financial
statements.
(4)
Party-in-interest
Transactions
The
Plan
has not considered Company contributions to the Plan or benefits paid by the
Plan for participants as party-in-interest transactions.

Fees
incurred by the Plan for investment management services amounted to
approximately $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Fees
paid
during the year for legal, accounting, actuarial and other professional services
rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates
for
such services.
(5)
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 no forfeitable on the date of such
termination or discontinuance.
