Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008 (unaudited)
Note 1 Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim financial information included in this report reflects normal recurring
adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes contained on
pages 34 to 57 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed balance sheet data at December 29, 2007 was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly and year-to-date periods
ended June 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim
periods or the full year.
The Companys fiscal year normally ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 and as a result, a
53rd week is added approximately every sixth year. The Companys 2008 fiscal year will
end on January 3, 2009, and include a 53rd week. Quarters normally consist of 13-week
periods, with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 including a 14th week.
The accounting policies used in preparing these financial statements are the same as those applied
in the prior year, except that the Company adopted a portion of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements as
of the beginning of its 2008 fiscal year. Adoption of the SFAS No. 157 provisions as of the
beginning of the 2008 fiscal year did not have an impact on the measurement of the Companys
financial assets and liabilities but resulted in additional disclosures contained in Note 11
herein.
New accounting pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 will require companies to disclose their
objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, whether or not their derivatives are
designated as hedging instruments. The new pronouncement requires disclosure of the fair value of
derivative instruments by primary underlying risk exposures (e.g. interest rate, credit, foreign
exchange rate, combination of interest rate and foreign exchange rate, or overall price). It also
requires detailed disclosures about the income statement impact of derivative instruments by
designation as fair-value hedges, cash-flow hedges, or hedges of the foreign-currency exposure of a
net investment in a foreign operation. SFAS No. 161 will also require disclosure of information
that will enable financial statement users to understand the level of derivative activity entered
into by the company (e.g., total number of interest-rate swaps or total notional or quantity or
percentage of forecasted commodity purchases that are being hedged). The principles of SFAS No.
161 may be applied on a prospective basis and are effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early application is
encouraged. For the Company, SFAS No. 161 will be effective at the beginning of its 2009 fiscal
year. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on the Companys
financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS-157-2, which delays by one year, the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. We plan
to adopt SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as of the beginning of
our 2009 fiscal year.
The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations and
SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which are required
to be adopted by the Company at the beginning of its 2009 fiscal year. Further information on
these accounting pronouncements is located on page 37 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

Note 2 Acquisitions and goodwill and other intangible assets
Acquisitions
To expand the Companys presence in Russia, on January 16, 2008, subsidiaries of the Company
acquired substantially all of the equity interests in OJSC Kreker (doing business as United
Bakers) and consolidated subsidiaries. The Company is in the process of acquiring the remaining
minority interests through tender offers. United Bakers is a leading producer of cereal, cookie,
and cracker products in Russia, with approximately 4,000 employees, six manufacturing facilities,
and a broad distribution network.
The Company paid $110 million cash (net of $5 million cash acquired), including approximately $67
million to settle debt and other assumed obligations of the acquired entities. Of the total cash
paid, $5 million was spent in 2007 for transaction fees and advances. The remaining amount of $105
million has been classified as an investing activity cash outflow in the Companys Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended June 28, 2008. The Company expects to incur
approximately $3 million in additional purchase price payments during the remainder of 2008.
In addition, the purchase agreement between the Company and the seller provides for the payment of
a currently undeterminable amount of contingent consideration at the end of three years, which will
be calculated based on the growth of sales and earnings before income taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Such payment would be recognized as additional purchase price when the contingency is
resolved.
Assets, liabilities, and results of the acquired business have been included in the Companys
consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition; such results were insignificant
for the Companys first half of 2008. Similarly, management has estimated that the pro forma effect
on the Companys results of operations, as though this business combination had been completed at
the beginning of either 2008 or 2007, would have been immaterial.
As of
June 28, 2008 the purchase price allocation was as follows:

Subsequent event
On June 30, 2008, the Company acquired a majority interest
of the business of Zhenghang Food Company
Ltd. (Navigable Foods) for $29 million in cash (net of cash received), including transaction
fees. The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Navigable Foods is a
manufacturer of cookies and crackers in the northern and northeastern regions of China, with approximately 1,800
employees, two manufacturing facilities and a sales and distribution network.
During the quarter ended June 28, 2008, the Company paid a total of $27 million in connection with
the acquisition, largely consisting of advances to the seller and the sellers lenders to satisfy
various debt and other obligations of the seller. The cash outflows associated with the
transaction have been classified as investing cash outflows in the Companys Consolidated Statement
of Cash Flows for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008. These amounts have also been
classified as Other assets on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 28, 2008.
6
In connection with the acquisition, the Company obtained the option to purchase the minority
interest in the entity beginning June 30, 2011, and the minority interest holder obtained the option to cause the
Company to purchase its remaining interest. The options, which have similar terms, include an
exercise price that is expected to approximate fair value on the date of exercise.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008 are
presented in the following table.
The purchase accounting amounts in the table below were related to minor opening balance sheet
adjustments for our November 2007 acquisitions of Bear Naked and certain assets and liabilities of
Wholesome & Hearty Food Company. As discussed herein, the Company acquired United Bakers, a cookie
and cracker company in Russia and recorded $77 million of goodwill. Certain of the Companys
goodwill balances are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments. Fluctuations in exchange
rates contributed to the increase in goodwill balance for the period.

Note 3 Exit or disposal plans
The Company views its continued spending on cost-reduction initiatives as part of its ongoing
operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving our long-term profit growth
targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within
a five-year period of completion (expected pay-back target). Each cost-reduction initiative is
normally up to three years in duration. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the
case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced
depreciation.
Ongoing initiatives
The Company currently has two ongoing initiatives: the European manufacturing optimization plan
(Manchester, England) and the reorganization of production processes to reflect changing market
dynamics (Valls, Spain and Bremen, German). Total costs associated with these ongoing initiatives
were $2 million and $7 million during the quarterly periods ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007,
respectively; on a year-to-date basis the costs were $11 million and $12 million, respectively.
These costs were recorded in cost of goods sold and were attributable to the Europe operating
segment.
The Company commenced the multi-year European manufacturing optimization plan in 2006 to improve
utilization of its facility in Manchester, England and to better align production in Europe. Based
on forecasted foreign exchange rates, the Company currently expects to incur approximately $55
million in total project costs. Of the $55 million in total project costs, $49 million has been
incurred to date, of which $21 million represented costs related to employee severance. Refer to
page 39 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this
initiative.
The following tables present quarter and year-to-date project costs for the European manufacturing
optimization plan. There were no exit cost reserves for this project at June 28, 2008 and December
29, 2007.

The Company commenced the reorganization of certain production processes at the Companys plants in
Valls, Spain and Bremen, Germany in October 2007. Based on forecasted foreign exchange rates, the
Company expects to incur approximately $25 million of total project costs, comprised of asset
write-offs, employee separation benefits and other cash costs. Of the $25 million in total project
costs, $12 million has been incurred to date, of which $6 million represented costs related to
employee severance. This initiative is expected to be completed in the second half of 2008. Refer
to page 40 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this
initiative.
The following tables present quarter and year-to-date project costs for the reorganization of
production processes at the Companys plants in Valls, Spain and Bremen, Germany, along with a

2007 initiative
Selling, general, and administrative expense for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2007, included total exit plan-related charges of $38 million. These costs were recorded in
the Companys North America operating segment and related to the reorganization of the Companys
direct store-door delivery (DSD) operations in the southeastern United States. This initiative has
been completed.
Note 4 Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net includes non-operating items such as interest income, charitable
donations, foreign exchange gains and losses and costs related to commodity options. Net foreign
exchange losses recognized were $7 million and $13 million, respectively, for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008, as compared to $7 million, for both the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007. Net expense recognized for premiums paid for commodity
options was $8 million and $10 million, respectively, for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 28, 2008, as compared to $1 million for both the quarter and year-to-date periods ended
June 30, 2007. Interest income for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008 was $5
million and $10 million, respectively. Interest income for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 30, 2007 was consistent with the current periods.
Note 5 Equity
Earnings per share
Basic net earnings per share is determined by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is similarly
determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued.
Dilutive potential common shares are comprised principally of employee stock options issued by the
Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic net
earnings per share is reconciled to diluted net earnings per share in the following table. The
total number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation totaled 5
million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008, as compared to 5 million and
4 million shares for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007.

During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008, the Company issued 1 million shares to
employees and directors under various benefit plans and stock purchase programs, as further
discussed in Note 8. To offset these issuances and for general corporate purposes, the Companys
Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to $650 million of the Companys
common stock during 2008. In connection with this authorization, during the year-to-date period
ended June 28, 2008, the Company spent $650 million to repurchase
approximately 13 million shares.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income includes net earnings and all other changes in equity during a period except
those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income
for all periods presented consists of foreign currency translation adjustments pursuant to SFAS No.
52 Foreign Currency Translation, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges pursuant
to SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and adjustments for
net experience losses and prior service cost pursuant to SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 158, during the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a net increase to
its defined benefit pension and postretirement plan obligations of $28 million, comprised of $31
million increase for a census-related valuation update and $3 million decrease for foreign currency
remeasurement. As presented in the following schedule, this resulted in a corresponding net-of-tax
increase in net experience loss of $18 million within other comprehensive income. The year-to-date
impact on other comprehensive income was similar.
10
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an increase to its defined benefit pension
and postretirement plan obligations of $40 million, comprised of $27 million for a census-related
valuation update and $13 million for foreign currency remeasurement. As presented in the following
schedule, this resulted in a corresponding net-of-tax increase in net experience loss of $26
million and prior service cost of $1 million within other comprehensive income. The year-to-date
impact on other comprehensive income was similar.

Note 6 Leases and other commitments
Refer to disclosures contained on page 43 of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been
no material changes in our leases and other commitments since December 29, 2007.
Note 7 Debt
On March 6, 2008, the Company issued $750 million of five-year 4.25% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes,
using the proceeds from these Notes to retire a portion of its U.S. commercial paper. These Notes
were issued under an existing shelf registration statement. The Notes contain customary covenants
that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain
liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control
provision.
In conjunction with the March 2008 debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with
notional amounts totaling $750 million, which effectively converted this debt from a fixed rate to
a floating rate obligation for the duration of the five-year term. These derivative instruments,
which were designated as fair value hedges of the debt obligation, resulted in an effective
interest rate of 3.568% as of June 28, 2008. At June 28, 2008, Other Liabilities of $20 million
have been recorded to reflect the fair value of interest rate swaps, offset by a decrease in the
fair value of the related Long Term Debt on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In June 2003, the Company issued $500 million of five-year 2.875% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes,
using the proceeds from these Notes to replace maturing long-term debt. These Notes were issued
under an existing shelf registration statement. The effective interest rate on these Notes,
reflecting issuance discount and swap settlement, was 3.35%. The Notes contained customary
covenants that limited the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to
incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. In December 2005, the
Company redeemed $35 million of these Notes, and in June 2008 the Company repaid the remainder of
the Notes.
As of June 28, 2008, commercial paper outstanding was $1,586 million.
Refer to pages 43-44 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for comparable information as
of December 29, 2007.

Note 8 Stock compensation
The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance
incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock
options, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares and restricted stock grants.
Additionally, the Company awards stock options and restricted stock to its non-employee directors.
These awards are administered through several plans, as described on pages 44 to 47 of the
Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in selling, general, and administrative
expense principally within its corporate operations. For further information on the Companys stock
compensation accounting methods, refer to page 35 of the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the
related income tax benefit recognized are as follows:

Pre-tax compensation expense for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008 included
$4 million of expense related to modification of certain stock options to eliminate the accelerated
ownership feature (AOF) and $13 million representing accrued cash compensation payable at June
28, 2008 to holders of modified stock options to replace the value of the AOF, which is discussed
in the following section, Stock options.
As of June 28, 2008, total stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet
recognized was approximately $46 million and the weighted-average period over which this amount is
expected to be recognized was approximately 1.4 years.
Stock options
Effective April 25, 2008, the Company eliminated the AOF from all outstanding stock options. Stock
options that contained the AOF feature included the vested pre-2004 option awards and all reload
options. Reload options are the stock options awarded to eligible employees and directors to
replace previously owned Company stock used by those individuals to pay the exercise price,
including related employment taxes, of vested pre-2004 options awards containing the AOF. The
reload options were immediately vested with an expiration date which was the same as the original
option grant. Apart from removing the AOF, the stock options were not otherwise affected.
Subsequent to June 28, 2008, holders of the stock options received cash compensation to replace the
value of the AOF.
The Company accounted for the elimination of the AOF as a modification in accordance with SFAS
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which required the Company to record a modification charge equal to the difference between
the value of the modified stock options on the date of modification and their values immediately
prior to modification. Since the modified stock options were 100% vested and had relatively short
remaining contractual terms of one to five years, the Company used a Black-Scholes model to value
the awards for the purpose of calculating the modification charge. The total fair value of the
modified stock options increased by $4 million because of an increase in the expected term.
As a result of this action, pre-tax compensation expense for the quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 28, 2008 included $4 million of expense related to the modification of stock options and
$13 million representing accrued cash compensation payable at June 28, 2008 to holders of the stock
options to replace the value of the AOF. Approximately 900 employees were holders of the modified
stock options.
During the year-to-date periods ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company granted
non-qualified stock options to eligible employees and outside directors as presented in the
following activity tables. Terms of these grants and the Companys methods for determining
grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with that described on page 46 of the Companys
2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance shares
In the first quarter of 2008, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior
executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of
the Companys common stock on the vesting date, provided cumulative three-year internal operating profit
growth targets are achieved.
15
The 2008 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 205
thousand shares, with a grant-date fair value of $47 per share. The actual number of shares issued
on the vesting date could range from zero to 200% of target, depending on actual performance
achieved. For information on similar performance share awards in 2006 and 2007, refer to page 47 of
the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on the market price of the
Companys common stock at June 28, 2008, the maximum future value that could be awarded to
employees on the vesting date is (in millions): 2006 award-$24; 2007 award-$20; and 2008 award-$20.
In addition to these awards, a 2005 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 200%
of target in February 2008 for a total dollar equivalent of $28 million.
Note 9 Employee benefits
The Company sponsors a number of U.S. and foreign pension, other postretirement and postemployment
plans to provide various benefits for its employees. These plans are described on pages 47 to 51 of
the Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Components of Company plan benefit expense for the

Management currently plans to contribute approximately $50 million to its defined benefit pension
plans and $15 million to its retiree health and welfare benefit plans during 2008, for a total of
$65 million. During 2007, the Company contributed approximately $84 million to defined benefit
pension plans and $12 million to retiree health and welfare benefit plans, for a total of $96
million. Plan funding strategies are periodically modified to reflect managements current
evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions, and competing investment alternatives.

Note 10 Income taxes
Effective income tax rate
The consolidated effective income tax rate was approximately 30% for the quarter ended June 28,
2008, as compared to 32% for the comparable quarter of 2007. The second quarter 2008 provision for
income taxes included two significant, but partially-offsetting adjustments. In conjunction with
a planned international legal restructuring, management has decided to repatriate approximately
$700 million of prior and current year earnings and capital, for a gross U.S. tax cost recorded in
the second quarter of $33 million. This cost was offset by foreign tax credit related items of $18
million, reducing the net cost of repatriation to $15 million. In addition, the Company reduced
its reserves for uncertain tax positions by $18 million, related to the settlement of audits in
various tax jurisdictions.
For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008, the consolidated effective income tax rate was
30%, as compared to 28% for the comparable prior year-to-date period. During the first quarter of
2007, management implemented an international restructuring initiative which eliminated a foreign
tax liability of approximately $40 million. Accordingly, the first quarter reversal is reflected
in the Companys consolidated income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007.
Uncertain tax positions
The Company adopted Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN No. 48)
as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year. This interpretation clarifies what criteria must be
met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit, in accordance with FASB Statement No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes, of a position taken in a tax return. See page 53 in the
Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding FIN No. 48.
The Company files income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in various state, local and
foreign jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal
examinations by the Internal Revenue Service for years prior to 2004. During the first quarter of
2007, the IRS commenced an examination of the Companys 2004 and 2005 U.S. federal income tax
returns, which is anticipated to be completed during the second half of 2008. During the second
quarter of 2008, the Company entered into the IRS Compliance Assurance Program (CAP) for the
2008 tax year. The IRS will also be performing a focused review of the 2006 and 2007 tax years
which is anticipated to be completed in 2009.
As of June 28, 2008, the Company has classified approximately $20 million of unrecognized tax
benefits as a current liability, representing several individually insignificant income tax
positions under examination in various jurisdictions. Managements estimate of reasonably possible
changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months is comprised of the
aforementioned current liability balance expected to be settled within one year, offset by
approximately $22 million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer
pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in
significant additional payments, accruals, or other material deviation in this estimate.
Following is a reconciliation of the Companys total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the
year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008. Approximately $115 million of this total represents the
amount that, if recognized, would affect the Companys effective income tax rate in future periods.
This amount differs from the gross unrecognized tax benefits presented in the table due to the
decrease in U.S. federal income taxes which would occur upon recognition of the state tax benefits
included therein.

The Company classifies income tax-related interest and penalties as interest expense and selling,
general, and administrative expense, respectively. For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008,
the Company recognized expense of $6 million for tax related interest and had approximately $36
million accrued at June 28, 2008.
Note 11 Fair value measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements in order to establish a
single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value that is intended to result
in increased consistency and comparability in fair value measurements. Certain provisions of the
standard were effective for the Company at the beginning of its 2008 fiscal year. Adoption of SFAS
No. 157 provisions as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year did not have an impact on the
measurement of the Companys financial assets and liabilities but resulted in additional
disclosures contained herein.
In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) FAS-157-2, which delayed by one year the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except
those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis (at least annually). The delay pertains to items including, but not limited to, non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination,
reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of evaluating goodwill for impairment
under SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets
measured at fair value for impairment assessment under SFAS No. 142, and long-lived assets measured
at fair value for impairment assessment under SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company plans to adopt the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 157
as of the beginning of its 2009 fiscal year. Balance sheet items carried at fair value on a
non-recurring basis (to which SFAS No. 157 will apply in 2009) consist of assets held for sale and
exit liabilities.
As required by SFAS No. 157, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities into
a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of the inputs used in determining fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3).
Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets
and liabilities of the Company that are included in each category at June 28, 2008.
Level 1 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for
identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and
liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.
Level 2 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that
are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 financial assets and liabilities for the Company
consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.
The Companys calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted
cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Commodity
derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the
contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an
income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
Level 3 Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques
that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value
measurement. These inputs reflect managements own assumptions about the assumptions a market
participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company does not have any level 3
financial assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the Companys fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2008:

KELLOGG COMPANY
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Results of operations
Overview
Kellogg Company is the worlds leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience
foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit snacks, frozen waffles,
and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for
these products include the United States and United Kingdom. We currently manage our operations in
four geographic operating segments, comprised of North America and the three International
operating segments of Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.
Our long-term annual growth targets are low single-digit (1 to 3%) for internal net sales, mid
single-digit (4 to 6%) for internal operating profit and high single-digit (7 to 9%) for diluted
net earnings per share. (Our measure of internal growth rates excludes the impact of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, and if applicable, acquisitions, dispositions, and shipping day
differences.) For 2008, we expect to exceed our internal net sales growth target and achieve mid
single-digit (4 to 6%) growth. We expect the higher-than-targeted net sales growth to come
principally from previously announced pricing initiatives, improved product mix and continued
innovation. We expect to meet our operating profit and net earnings per share growth targets. We
believe our strong financial performance in the first half provides momentum for achieving these
growth targets for the full year.
For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008, we reported consolidated net sales growth of 10%
with internal growth of 6%. Consolidated operating profit increased 6% on internal growth of 4%.
Diluted net earnings per share were $1.63 for the first half of 2008, as compared to $1.55 in the
comparable prior year period. Similarly for the second quarter of 2008, we reported consolidated
net sales growth of 11% with internal growth of 6%. Consolidated operating profit increased 2%
both on an as reported and internal basis. Diluted net earnings per share grew 9% from $.75 in the
second quarter of 2007 to $.82 in the current period.

Impact of results for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2008 from the acquisitions of
United Bakers, Bear Naked and certain assets and liabilities of the Wholesome & Hearty Foods
Company. |
20
Our strong consolidated net sales performance for the second quarter of 2008 was broad based across
all of our operating segments. Successful innovation, brand-building (advertising and consumer
promotion) investment, as well as our recent price increases continued to drive the growth. Our
reported net sales were favorably impacted by foreign exchange. Also contributing to our growth
are our recent acquisitions of Bear Naked and certain assets and liabilities of Wholesome & Hearty
Foods Company (marketed under the Gardenburger® brand) which were completed in November, 2007 and
are included in our North America operating segment, and United Bakers which was completed in
January, 2008 and reported in our Europe operating segment. For further information on our
acquisitions, refer to Note 2 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included
herein under Part I, Item 2. Management has estimated that the pro forma effect on the Companys
results of operations, as though these business combinations had been completed at the beginning of
2007, would have been immaterial.
For the quarter, our North America operating segment reported strong, internal net sales growth of
6%, with each major product group contributing as follows: retail cereal +5%; retail snacks
(cookies, crackers, cereal bars, toaster pastries, and fruit snacks) +6%; frozen and specialty
channels (food service, club stores, and vending) +10%. The broad based growth was driven by our
previously announced price increases, strong innovation as well as growth in our base products.
Retail cereal performed well with strong results from our core brands and innovations such as
Special K Cinnamon Pecan, All Bran Strawberry Medley and Frosted Flakes Gold. Our recent snack
innovations Townhouse Flipsides and Cheez-It Duoz are performing very well and contributed to our
strong second quarter performance in retail snacks.
Our International operating segments collectively reported internal net sales growth of
approximately 6%, with leading dollar contributions from our UK, Italy and Mexico business units.
During the period, we achieved strong sales growth in both cereal and snack products in Europe.
Asia Pacifics performance was strong in the second quarter led by growth in cereal.
For the quarter, our consolidated operating profit increased 2% both on a reported basis and on an
internal basis. We experienced this growth by offsetting higher commodity and fuel costs and
double digit increases in advertising and promotion with a combination of pricing and productivity
initiatives. Second quarter operating profit also benefited from lower incremental exit-plan
related charges as compared to the second quarter of 2007. As discussed in the Exit or disposal
plans section herein, this quarters operating profit included $2 million of exit-plan related
charges as compared to $45 million recorded in the second quarter of 2007. The net incremental
favorable impact on the operating segments is (in millions): North America-$38 (all within
selling, general and administrative expense) and Europe-$5 (all within cost of goods sold). In
addition to the exit-plan related charges, the Company incurred $17 million of expenses related to
other cost reduction initiatives as discussed in the Other cost reduction initiatives section
herein.
Internal operating profit for our North America operating segment was strong due to
lower exit costs; and increased
sales, driven by price increases and innovation partially offset by higher commodity costs.
Europes internal operating profit declined despite net sales growth due to increased investment in advertising and
promotion and higher commodity costs. Latin Americas operating profit increased due to net sales growth partially offset by increased advertising and overhead costs. Internal operating
profit growth in Asia Pacific was driven by its strong net sales performance.
The following tables provide analysis of our net sales and operating profit performance for the
year-to-date periods of 2008 as compared to 2007. The year-to-date net sales performance was
similar to the quarter with growth driven by increased price/mix. Reported operating profit for
the year-to-date period was up versus prior year due to sales growth, offset by increased commodity
and fuel costs. Latin Americas year-to-date operating profit was impacted by a $10 million
charge taken in cost of goods sold in the first quarter of 2008 in connection with a payment for
the restructuring of our labor force at a manufacturing facility in Mexico.

We strive for gross profit dollar growth to reinvest in brand-building and innovation expenditures.
Our strategy for increasing our gross profit is to manage external cost pressures through product
pricing and mix improvements, productivity savings and technological initiatives to reduce the cost
of product ingredients and packaging. For the quarter, our gross profit was up $67 million, a 5%
increase over the comparable 2007 period. Year-to-date gross profit was up $167 million, a 6%
increase over the first half of 2007.
As illustrated in the preceding table, our consolidated gross margin declined 250 basis points in
the quarter and 170 basis points year-to-date versus the prior year periods. Our recent
acquisitions lowered gross margin by approximately 70 basis points for the quarter and 60 basis
points year-to-date. We also continue to experience inflationary cost pressures for fuel, energy,
commodities and benefits. During this period, higher costs were offset by savings from cost
reduction initiatives and price increases.
For the full-year 2008, we currently expect incremental costs for fuel, energy, commodities and
benefits to be approximately $.90 per share. Accordingly, we believe our full year consolidated
gross margin could decline by
22
approximately
200 basis points, half of which relates to acquisitions and increased
investments in exit plans and other cost reduction initiatives expected in cost of goods sold.
Exit or disposal plans
We view our continued spending on cost reduction initiatives as part of our ongoing operating
principles to provide greater visibility in achieving our long-term profit growth targets.
Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a
five-year period of completion (expected pay-back target). Each cost reduction initiative is
normally up to three years in duration. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the
case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced
depreciation. Certain of these initiatives represent
exit or disposal plans for which material charges will be incurred. We include these charges in
our measure of operating segment profitability.
Ongoing initiatives
We currently have two ongoing initiatives: the European manufacturing optimization plan
(Manchester, England) and the reorganization of production processes to reflect changing market
dynamics (Valls, Spain and Bremen, Germany). Total costs associated with these ongoing initiatives
were $2 million and $7 million during the quarterly periods ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007,
respectively; on a year-to-date basis the costs were $11 million and $12 million, respectively.
These costs were recorded in cost of goods sold and were attributable to the Europe operating
segment.
We commenced the multi-year European manufacturing optimization plan in 2006 to improve utilization
of our facility in Manchester, England and to better align production in Europe. Based on
forecasted foreign exchange rates, we currently expect to incur approximately $55 million in total
project costs. Of the $55 million in total project costs, $49 million has been incurred to date,
of which $21 million represented costs related to employee severance. Refer to page 39 of the
Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this initiative.
The following tables present quarter and year-to-date project costs for our European manufacturing
optimization plan. There were no exit cost reserves for this project at June 28, 2008 and December
29, 2007.

We commenced the reorganization of certain production processes at our plants in Valls, Spain and
Bremen, Germany in October 2007. Based on forecasted foreign exchange rates, we expect to incur
approximately $25 million of total project costs, comprised primarily of asset write-offs, employee
separation benefits and other cash costs. Of the $25 million in total project costs, $12 million
has been incurred to date, of which $6 million represented costs related to employee severance.
This initiative is expected to be completed in the second half of 2008. Refer to page 40 of the
Companys 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on this initiative.

2007 initiative
Selling, general, and administrative expense for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June
30, 2007, included total exit plan-related charges of $38 million. These costs were recorded in
our North America operating segment and related to the reorganization of our direct store-door
delivery (DSD) operations in the southeastern United States. This initiative has been completed.
Other cost reduction initiatives
During the second quarter we incurred $17 million of expense associated with other cost reduction
initiatives related to the elimination of the accelerated ownership feature of certain employee
stock options. Refer to Note 8 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is
included herein under Part I, Item 2 for further information. This expense was recorded in
selling, general and administrative expense within corporate operating profit.
We incurred $10 million of expense during the first quarter of 2008 in connection with a payment
for the restructuring of our labor force at a manufacturing facility in Mexico. This cost, which
was recorded in cost of goods sold and was attributable to the Latin America operating segment.
Interest expense
For the first half of 2008, interest expense was $159 million and interest income (which is
recorded within other income) was $9 million, as compared to first half 2007 interest expense of
$154 million and interest income of $8 million. For the full year of 2008, we currently expect
interest expense, net of interest income, to approximate the 2007 level.
Income taxes
The consolidated effective income tax rate was approximately 30% for the quarter ended June 28,
2008, as compared to 32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The second quarter 2008 provision
for income taxes included two significant, put partially-offsetting adjustments. In conjunction
with a planned international legal restructuring, management has decided to repatriate
approximately $700 million of prior and current year earnings and capital, for a gross U.S. tax
cost recorded in the second quarter of $33 million. This cost was offset by foreign tax credit
related items of $18 million, reducing the net cost of repatriation to $15 million. In addition,
we reduced our reserves for uncertain tax positions by $18 million, related to the settlement of
audits in various tax jurisdictions.
For the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008, the consolidated effective income tax rate was
30%, as compared to 28% for the comparable prior year-to-date period. During the first quarter of
2007, management implemented an international restructuring initiative which eliminated a foreign tax liability of
approximately $40 million. Accordingly, the first quarter reversal is reflected in the Companys
consolidated income tax provision for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007.
For the full year 2008, we currently expect the consolidated effective income tax rate to be
approximately 31%. Our estimate of effective income tax rate
for any period is highly influenced by
24
country mix of earnings, changes in statutory tax rates,
timing of implementation of tax planning initiatives, and developments which affect our evaluation
of uncertain tax positions.
Liquidity and capital resources
Overview
Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows, supplemented by borrowings for major
acquisitions and other significant transactions. Our cash-generating capability is one of our
fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating
and investing needs.
Operating activities
The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the
sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture and market our products. Our cash conversion
cycle (defined as days of inventory and trade receivables outstanding less days of trade payables
outstanding) is relatively short, equating to approximately 22 days for the trailing 365-day period
ended June 28, 2008. This represents a reduction of approximately 3 days when compared with the
comparable prior year period, reflecting an increase in 2008 in the days of trade payables
outstanding.
The following table presents the major components of our operating cash flow during the current and
prior year-to-date periods:

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008 was
$61 million lower than the comparable period of 2007, due primarily to an unfavorable
year-over-year variance in other working capital. This unfavorable variance was attributable in
large part to an increase in cash paid in 2008 for advertising and promotion and exit plan related
reserves. To a lesser extent, this unfavorable year-over-year variance in other working capital
reflected cash outflows in connection with United Bakers, the Russian business we acquired in the
first quarter of 2008.
We estimate that we will make postretirement benefit plan contributions totaling $65 million in
2008, as compared to $96 million in 2007. Actual 2008 contributions could exceed our current
projections, as influenced by our decision to undertake additional discretionary funding of our
benefit trusts versus other competing investment priorities, future changes in government
requirements, renewals of union contracts, or higher-than-expected health care claims cost
experience.
Our management measure of cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced
by expenditures for property additions. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to
focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend
distributions, acquisition
25
opportunities, and share repurchases. Our cash flow metric is reconciled
to the most comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

For full year 2008, we are targeting cash flow (as defined) ranging from $1,000 million to $1,075

Investing activities
Our net cash used by investing activities for the year-to-date period ending June 28, 2008 amounted
to $302 million, an increase of $117 million when compared with $185 million in first half of 2007.
The increase was primarily attributable to cash outflows of $133 million associated with the
Companys acquisitions during the first half of 2008. Acquisitions are discussed in Note 2 within
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
For 2008, we expect total property additions to be approximately 4% of net sales, which is
consistent with our actual spending rate for 2007 and our long-term target for capital spending.
Financing activities
Our net cash used by financing activities for the first half of 2008 amounted to $373 million, a
decrease of $43 million when compared with $416 million in first half of 2007.
During the year-to-date period ended June 28, 2008, we
spent $650 million, the entire amount
authorized as of that date, to purchase approximately 13 million shares of our common stock, while share
repurchases in the first half of 2007 amounted to $264 million. Subsequent to June 28, 2008, our
Board of Directors authorized an additional $500 million share repurchase which we expect to
commence late this year and to be executed within the next twelve months.
We also had cash outflows of $465 million in connection with the repayment of five-year U.S. Dollar
Notes at maturity on June 1, 2008. The debt had an effective interest rate of 3.35%.
As discussed in Note 7 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we issued $750 million of
five-year 4.25% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes in March 2008. We used proceeds of $746 million from
issuance of this long-term debt to retire a portion of our commercial paper. In conjunction with
this March 2008 debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling
$750 million, which effectively converted this debt from a fixed rate to a floating rate obligation
for the duration of the five-year term.
Financing activity in the first half of 2007 involved the redemption of $728 million of Euro
denominated long-term debt, offset in large part by a $699 million increase in commercial paper.
In July 2008, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.34 per common share, payable
September 16, 2008, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2008. The
dividend of $0.34 per common share represents a 10% increase in the $0.31 per share quarterly dividend rate paid during
the trailing twelve months. Increasing the dividend rate is consistent with our plan to maintain
our dividend pay-out ratio in a range of 40% to 50% of reported net earnings.
We continue to believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment
obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future, while still meeting our
operational needs, including the pursuit of selected bolt-on acquisitions. This will be
accomplished through our strong cash flow, our program of issuing short-term debt, and maintaining
our credit facilities on a global basis.

Critical accounting policies and estimates
On pages 23-27 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, we
identified certain policies and estimates that require significant judgments and assumptions likely
to have a material impact on our financial statements. As disclosed therein, accounting for stock
compensation under SFAS No. 123(R) represents a critical accounting estimate, which requires
significant judgments and assumptions likely to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Until April 25, 2008, reload options were awarded to eligible employees and directors to replace
previously-owned Company stock used by those individuals to pay the exercise price, including
related employment taxes, of vested pre-2004 option awards containing the accelerated ownership
feature (AOF). The reload options were immediately vested with an expiration date which was the
same as the original option grant. Under SFAS No. 123(R), these reload options resulted in
additional compensation expense in the year of grant.
On April 25, 2008, the Company eliminated the AOF from all outstanding stock options. Stock
options that contained the AOF included the vested pre-2004 option awards and all reload options.
As a result of this action, we will no longer award reload options and will no longer need to
determine the grant-date fair value of stock options that are the result of reloads.
The modification of the stock options that contained the AOF is further discussed in Note 8 within
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as a part of our ongoing business
operations. We use derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage
these risks.
Refer to disclosures contained on pages 28-29 of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than
changes noted here, there have been no material changes in the Companys market risk as of June 28,
2008.
The total notional amount of commodity derivative instruments at June 28, 2008, including natural
gas swaps, was $341 million, with a fair value of approximately $103 million. The total notional
amount of commodity derivative instruments at December 29, 2007, including natural gas swaps, was
$229 million, with a fair value of $22 million.
In some instances we have reciprocal collateralization agreements with our counterparties regarding
fair value positions in excess of certain thresholds. These agreements call for the posting of
collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss
position to our counterparties or us exceeds a certain amount. At June 28, 2008, $30 million
collateral in the form of cash was posted by our counterparties and was reflected as a reduction in
the fair value of the related derivative on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. The
collateral balance at December 29, 2007 was zero.
In connection with the issuance of U.S. Dollar Notes on March 6, 2008, we entered into interest
rate swaps. Refer to disclosures contained in Note 7 within Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements herein.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired
control objectives.
As of June 28, 2008, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
During the last fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
