Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 4, 2008, Spectrum Brands, Inc. (the " Company ") received written notice from the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (" NYSE ") that the Company had fallen below the NYSE's continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because over a 30 trading-day period the Company's total market capitalization was less than $75 million and, at the same time, its stockholders’ equity was less than $75 million. As of October 31, 2008, the Company's 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $72.4 million, and in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 29, 2008, the Company reported a shareholders' deficit of approximately $511.6 million.

Under applicable NYSE rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from receipt of the notice to submit a plan that demonstrates its ability to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the notice. Upon receipt of the Company's plan, the NYSE has 45 calendar days to review and determine whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to come into conformity with the relevant standard(s) within the 18 month period. The NYSE will either accept the plan at which time the Company will be subject to ongoing monitoring for compliance with this plan, or the Committee will not accept the plan and the Company will be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. As required by the NYSE's rules, the Company plans to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the non-compliance notice of its intent to submit a plan to remedy its non-compliance.

As required under NYSE rules, the Company issued a Press Release on November 5, 2008, announcing that it had received the notice and that the Company intends to submit a plan to attain compliance with NYSE continued listing standards. In its press release, the Company noted that it plans to report its results on November 11, 2008 and that it ended the fiscal year with approximately $105 million in cash and $108 million of availability on its $225 million asset-based senior credit facility and in compliance with the requirements under its senior and subordinated debt agreements. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
