Venezuela Hyperinflation
 
Spectrum Brands does business in Venezuela through a Venezuelan subsidiary. At January 4, 2010, the beginning of the second quarter of Fiscal 2010, Spectrum Brands determined that Venezuela met the definition of a highly inflationary economy under US GAAP. As a result, beginning January 4, 2010, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency for Spectrum Brands’ Venezuelan subsidiary. Accordingly, going forward, currency remeasurement adjustments for this subsidiary’s financial statements and other transactional foreign exchange gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Through January 3, 2010, prior to being designated as highly inflationary, translation adjustments related to the Venezuelan subsidiary were reflected as a component of AOCI.
 
In addition, on January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency, the Bolivar fuerte, relative to the U.S. dollar. As a result, Spectrum Brands remeasured the local balance sheet of its Venezuela entity during the second quarter of Fiscal 2010 to reflect the impact of the devaluation to the official exchange rate of 4.3 Bolivian fuerte per U.S. dollar. Based on actual exchange activity as of September 30, 2010, Spectrum Brands determined that the most likely method of exchanging its Bolivar fuertes for U.S. dollars would be to formally apply with the Venezuelan government to exchange through commercial banks at the Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (“SITME”) rate specified by the Central Bank of Venezuela. The SITME rate as of September 30, 2010 was quoted at 5.3 Bolivar fuerte per U.S. dollar. Therefore, Spectrum Brands changed the rate used to remeasure Bolivar fuerte denominated transactions as of September 30, 2010 from the official exchange rate to the 5.3 SITME rate in accordance with ASC Topic 830, “Foreign Currency Matters,” (“ASC 830”) as it was the expected rate that exchanges of Bolivar fuerte to U.S. dollars would be settled.
 
The designation of the Spectrum Brands’ Venezuela entity as a highly inflationary economy and the devaluation of the Bolivar fuerte resulted in a $1,486 reduction to the Company’s operating income during Fiscal 2010. The Company also reported a foreign exchange loss in “Other (expense) income, net” of $10,102 during Fiscal 2010.
 
As of September 30, 2011, Spectrum Brands is no longer exchanging its Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. dollars through the SITME mechanism and the SITME is no longer the most likely method of exchanging its Bolivar fuertes for U.S. dollars. Therefore, Spectrum Brands changed the rate used to remeasure Bolivar fuerte denominated transactions as of September 30, 2011 from the 5.3 SITME rate to the 4.3 official exchange rate in accordance with ASC 830 as it is the expected rate that exchanges of Bolivar fuerte to U.S. dollars will be settled. Spectrum Brands reported a foreign exchange gain in “Other (expense) income, net” of $1,293 during Fiscal 2011 related to the change to the official exchange rate.
