PART I

Item 1. Business

      The Company. Kellogg Company, incorporated in Delaware in 1922, and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacture and marketing of ready-to-eat cereal and convenience foods.

      Kellogg Company acquired Keebler Foods Company in a transaction valued at $4.56 billion, which closed on March 26, 2001. In connection with the acquisition, Kellogg Company paid approximately $3.86 billion in cash and assumed $696 million of debt, with $560 million of the assumed debt being refinanced on the acquisition date.

      The address of the principal business office of Kellogg Company is One Kellogg Square, P.O. Box 3599, Battle Creek, Michigan Creek 49016-3599. Unless otherwise specified or indicated by the context, the term “Company” as used in this report means Kellogg Company, its divisions and subsidiaries.

      Financial Information About Segments. The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 42 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      Principal Products. The principal products of the Company are ready-to-eat cereals and convenience foods, such as cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones. These products were, as of December 31, 2001, manufactured in 19 countries and distributed in more than 160 countries. The Company’s cereal products are generally marketed under the Kellogg’s name and are sold principally to the grocery trade through direct sales forces for resale to consumers. The Company uses broker and distribution arrangements for certain products. It also generally uses these, or similar arrangements, in less-developed market areas or in those market areas outside of its focus.

      The Company also markets cookies, crackers, and other convenience foods of its Keebler Foods Company subsidiary under other brands such as Kellogg’s, Keebler, Cheez-It, Murray, and Famous Amos, and manufactures private label cookies, crackers, and other products. These branded products are generally marketed to supermarkets in the United States through a direct store door (DSD) delivery system, although other distribution methods are also used. The Company also markets some of its other convenience foods products in the United States through this DSD system.

      Additional information pertaining to the relative sales of the Company’s products for the years 1999 through 2001 is found in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 42 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      Raw Materials. Agricultural commodities are the principal raw materials used in the Company’s products. Cartonboard, corrugated, and plastic are the principal packaging materials used by the Company. World supplies and prices of such commodities (which include such packaging materials) are constantly monitored, as are government trade policies. The cost of such commodities may fluctuate widely due to government policy and regulation, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. Continuous efforts are made to maintain and improve the quality and supply of such commodities for purposes of the Company’s short-term and long-term requirements.

      The principal ingredients in the products produced by the Company in the United States include corn grits, oats, rice, cocoa, soybeans and soybean derivatives, various fruits, sweeteners, wheat, and wheat derivatives. These commodities are purchased principally from sources in the United States. In producing convenience foods products, the Company may use flour, shortening, sweeteners, dairy products, eggs, fruit, chocolate, and other filling ingredients, which ingredients are obtained from various sources.

      The Company both enters into long-term contracts for the commodities described in this section and purchases these items on the open market, depending on the Company’s view of possible price fluctuations, supply levels, and the Company’s relative negotiating power. While the cost of these commodities may increase over time, the Company believes that it will be able to purchase an adequate supply of these items as needed. The Company also uses commodity futures and options to hedge some of its costs.

      Raw materials and packaging needed for internationally based operations are available in adequate supply and are sometimes imported from countries other than those where used in manufacture.

      Cereal processing ovens at major domestic and international facilities are regularly fueled by natural gas or propane, commodities obtained from local utilities or other local suppliers. Short-term standby propane storage exists at several plants for use in the event of interruption in natural gas supplies. Oil may also be used to fuel certain operations at various plants in the event of natural gas shortages or when its use presents economic advantages. In addition, considerable amounts of diesel fuel are used in connection with the distribution of the Company’s products.

      Trademarks and Technology. Generally, the Company’s products are marketed under trademarks it owns. The Company’s principal trademarks are its housemarks, brand names, slogans, and designs related to cereals and convenience foods manufactured and marketed by the Company as well as licensed uses of these marks on various goods.

Table of Contents

      The slogans The Best To You Each Morning, The Original and Best, They’re Gr-r-reat!, and Eat it For Breakfast, Eat it For Life, used in connection with the Company’s ready-to-eat cereals, along with L’ Eggo my Eggo, used in connection with the Company’s frozen waffles and pancakes, and Elfin Magic used by the Keebler Foods subsidiary in connection with convenience food products are also important Company trademarks.

      The trademarks listed above, among others, when taken as a whole, are important to the Company’s business. Certain individual trademarks are also important to the Company’s business. Depending on the jurisdiction, trademarks are generally valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained and they have not been found to have become generic. Registrations of trademarks can also generally be renewed indefinitely as long as the trademarks are in use.

      The Company considers that, taken as a whole, the rights under its various patents, which expire from time to time, are a valuable asset, but the Company does not believe that its businesses are materially dependent on any single patent or group of related patents. The Company’s activities under licenses or other franchises or concessions which it holds are not believed to be material.

      Seasonality. Demand for the Company’s products has generally been approximately level throughout the year, although some of the Company’s private label convenience foods generally have stronger demand in the first quarter and the Company’s other convenience foods have a bias for stronger demand in the second half of the year.

      Working Capital. Although terms vary around the world, in the United States the Company generally has required payment for goods sold 11 days subsequent to the date of invoice, generally with a 2% or 1% discount allowed for payment within ten days. Receipts from goods sold, supplemented as required by borrowings, provide for the Company’s payment of dividends, capital expansion, and for other operating expenses and working capital needs.

      Customers. Historically, the Company has not been dependent on any single customer or a few customers for a material part of its sales. However, the Company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries, accounted for approximately 11% of consolidated net sales during 2001, comprised principally of sales within the United States. Correspondingly, at December 31, 2001, approximately 7% of the Company’s consolidated receivables balance and 11% of the Company’s U.S. receivables balance was comprised of amounts owed by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its subsidiaries. During 2001, the Company’s top five customers, collectively, accounted for approximately 18% of both the Company’s consolidated and U.S. net sales. There has been significant worldwide consolidation in the grocery industry in recent years and the Company believes that this trend is likely to continue. Although the loss of any large customer for an extended length of time could negatively impact the Company’s sales and profits, the Company does not anticipate that this will occur to a significant extent due to the consumer demand for the Company’s products and the Company’s relationships with its customers. Products of the Company have been generally sold through its own sales forces and through broker and distributor arrangements and have been generally resold to consumers in retail stores, restaurants, and other food service establishments.

      Backlog. For the most part, orders are filled within a few days of receipt and are subject to cancellation at any time prior to shipment. The backlog of any unfilled orders at December 31, 2001, and December 31, 2000, was not material to the Company.

      Competition. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, intense competition for sales of all of its principal products in its major product categories, both domestically and internationally. The Company’s products compete with advertised and branded products of a similar nature as well as unadvertised and private label products, which are typically distributed at lower prices, and generally with other food products with different characteristics. Principal methods and factors of competition include new product introductions, product quality, composition and nutritional value, price, advertising, and promotion.

      Research and Development. Research to support and expand the use of the Company’s existing products and to develop new food products is carried on at the W.K. Kellogg Institute for Food and Nutrition Research in Battle Creek, Michigan, and at other locations around the world. The Company’s expenditures for research

and development were approximately $110.2 million in 2001, $118.4 million in 2000, and $104.1 million in 1999.

      Regulation. The Company’s activities are subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture, Federal Trade Commission, and Department of Commerce in the United States, and various state and local agencies, as well as similar agencies outside of the United States.

      Environmental Matters. The Company’s facilities are subject to various foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations regarding the discharge of material into the environment and the protection of the environment in other ways. The Company is not a party to any material proceedings arising under these regulations. The Company believes that compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations will not materially affect the consolidated financial condition or the competitive position of the Company. The Company is currently in substantial compliance with all material environmental regulations affecting the Company and its properties.

      Employees. At December 31, 2001, the Company had approximately 26,424 employees.

      Financial Information About Geographic Areas. The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 42 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      Forward-Looking Statements. This Report contains, or incorporates by reference, “forward-looking statements” with projections concerning, among other things, the Company’s strategy and plans; integration activities, costs and savings related to the Keebler acquisition; cash outlays and savings related to restructuring actions; the impact of accounting changes; our ability to meet interest and debt principal repayment obligations; effective income tax rate; amortization expense; cash flow; property addition expenditures; and interest expense.

For example, forward-looking statements are found in this Item 1 and in several sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis incorporated by reference. The Company’s actual results or activities may differ materially from these predictions. In particular, future results or activities could be affected by factors related to the Keebler acquisition, including integration problems, failures to achieve synergies, unanticipated liabilities, and the substantial amount of indebtedness incurred to finance the acquisition, which could, among other things, hinder the Company’s ability to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions, make the Company more vulnerable in the event of a downturn, and place the Company at a competitive disadvantage in relation to less-leveraged competitors. The Company’s future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including competitive conditions in our markets and categories and their impact; pricing and promotional and marketing spending levels and/or incremental pricing actions by the Company or others and their effect on actual volumes and product mix; the effectiveness of advertising and marketing spending or programs; the success of new product introductions; the levels of spending on system initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs; the availability of and interest rates on short-term financing; changes in consumer preferences; commodity price and labor cost fluctuations; expenditures necessary to carry out restructuring initiatives and savings derived therefrom; U.S. and foreign economic conditions, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; changes in statutory tax and other laws; business disruption from terrorist acts or a nation’s response to them; U.S. and foreign regulations; and other items. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update them.

Item 2. Properties

      The Company operated, as of December 31, 2001, manufacturing plants and warehouses totaling more than 17 million (17,000,000) square feet of building area in the United States and other countries. The

Company’s plants have been designed and constructed to meet its specific production requirements, and the Company periodically invests money for capital and technological improvements. At the time of its selection, each location was considered to be favorable, based on the location of markets, sources of raw materials, availability of suitable labor, transportation facilities, location of other Company plants producing similar products, and other factors. Manufacturing facilities of the Company in the United States include four cereal plants and warehouses located in Battle Creek, Michigan; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Memphis, Tennessee; and Omaha, Nebraska. The Company’s United States convenience foods plants are located in San Jose, California; Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and Rome, Georgia; Chicago and Des Plaines, Illinois; Kansas City, Kansas; Florence, Louisville, and Pikeville, Kentucky; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Blue Anchor, New Jersey; Cary and Charlotte, North Carolina; Cincinnati, Fremont, Worthington, and Zanesville, Ohio; Marietta, Oklahoma; Muncy, Pennsylvania; and Cleveland and Rossville, Tennessee.

      The principal properties of the Company, including its major office facilities, generally are owned by the Company, although some manufacturing facilities are leased, and no owned property is subject to any major lien or other encumbrance. Distribution facilities and offices of non-plant locations typically are leased. In general, the Company considers its facilities, taken as a whole, to be suitable, adequate, and of sufficient capacity for its current operations.

16 EX-10.23 3 k67850ex10-23.txt AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND MICHAEL TEALE EXHIBIT 10.23 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (PRESENTED: MARCH 9, 2001) This Severance Agreement hereafter, (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of March 31, 2001, by and between Kellogg Company, a Delaware corporation ("the Company") and Michael J. Teale, an individual ("Employee"). PURPOSE The purpose of this Severance Agreement is to set forth the arrangements with respect to Employee's resignation as an officer of the Company, and its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates, and related matters, effective MARCH 16, 2001. As of that date, Employee is relieved of all his titles, duties, responsibilities, and authority as an officer and otherwise with respect to the Company. TERMS AND CONDITIONS A. As more fully provided herein below, the salary continuation payments described herein are in consideration of Employee's release of any and all cause or causes of action he has, has had, or may have against the Company and also in consideration of Employee's agreement not to compete. Employee shall receive a lump sum severance payment in the amount of $834,000 (eight hundred thirty four thousand dollars) payable within 60 days of retirement. Commencing March 16, 2001 (or as soon as administratively possible), Employee shall begin receiving retirement benefits from the Kellogg Company tax qualified, Excess Benefit and Supplemental Retirement Plans, estimated today to be $373,000 (three hundred, seventy three thousand dollars) per year as determined by single life annuity amounts. The amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement are in lieu of any amounts which may be payable to Employee for termination pay, including but not limited to, any prior agreement and/or standard severance (i.e., one week per year of service) policy. Employee has the right to request a lump sum payment option for any portion of his annual non-qualified pension benefits. Usual and customary withholding for tax purposes will be withheld from your lump sum severance payments and from any other payments made to Employee, to the extent required by law. All tax liability, with respect to any and all payments or services received by Employee under this Agreement (other than employer withholding and employer payroll taxes), will be Employee's responsibility. Employee agrees not to receive or make an election to receive any of the pension benefits he earned while working for the Company in the United Kingdom. The Employee also agrees to sign any documents presented by the U.K. pension plan trustees transferring benefits from the U.K. pension plan to the U.S. plan. Further, if the Page 1 of 7 Employee does, at a future date, elect to receive pension benefits from the U.K. pension plan, the value of those benefits will be deducted from future pension payments to the extent permitted by law or from other payments from Company benefit plans, including the Executive Survivor Income Plan. B. Employee shall also receive a prorated bonus in the amount of $67,800 [sixty seven, thousand eight hundred dollars), payable within 60 days of his retirement date for performance year 2001, C. Within sixty (60) days of the last day worked (i.e., March 16, 2001), the Company will pay to Employee that sum which is equivalent to all unused, earned, accrued prorated vacation of Employee as of the last day worked. Employee shall not be entitled to any future vacation pay accruals from and after the last day worked. D. Employee's right to exercise nonqualified stock options that Employee received pursuant to the Company 1982 Stock Option, the 1991 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan, and the Kellogg Company Bonus Replacement Stock Option Plan and the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan and will be administered in accordance with and be subject to the respective provisions of those Plans and Option Agreements, and shall continue for such period of time as provided by such Plans and Option Agreements upon Employee's retirement. The ability to utilize the accelerated ownership feature of the Plans shall continue through March 16, 2001. E. The Company will continue Employee's coverage under the existing Company Executive Survivor Income Plan, based upon Employee's compensation rate defined under this Agreement for the purposes of the Plan at $2,271,000 (two million, two hundred, seventy one thousand dollars). F. Employee hereby irrevocably elects to retire March 16, 2001 and shall be eligible for pension benefits through Kellogg Company Salaried Pension Plan, the Kellogg Company Excess Benefit or Supplemental Retirement Plan [collectively the "Pension Plans"). Employee will be eligible for annual pension benefits based upon Employee's highest consecutive three-year earnings during his last ten years of employment with the Company. At the time Employee elects to begin receiving such benefits, he should contact the Employee Benefits Department of the Company. G. Except as otherwise provided herein, benefits for Employee and his eligible dependents, as outlined in "A Guide To Your Medical/Mental/Prescription Drug Benefits" effective 1995, and under the Executive Income Survivor Plan, subject to the respective terms and provisions thereof, including any amendment or alteration thereof after the date of this Agreement, will be continued for Employee to the extent provided in such plans, upon Employee's retirement. Page 2 of 7 H. Company will pay for financial planning and/or tax advice provided to Employee, up to $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) for the 2001 tax year. I. In further consideration of the foregoing, Employee agrees that, for the respective Restricted Periods (as hereafter defined), Employee shall not: (i) directly or indirectly, accept any employment, consult for or with, or otherwise provide or perform any services of any nature to, for or on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other business or entity that manufactures, produces, distributes, sells or markets any of the Products (as herein below defined) in the Geographic Area (as hereinafter defined), including, but not limited to, General Mills, Kraft/Post, Quaker, Nabisco, Pepsi/Frito Lay, Warner-Lambert, M&M/Mars, Pillsbury/Grand Met, Malto Meal, Ralcorp Cereal, and/or any private label cereal company and/or (ii) directly or indirectly, permit any business firm which Employee, individually or jointly with others may own, manage, operate, or control, to engage in the manufacture, production, distribution, sale or marketing of any of the Products in the Geographic Area. For purposes of this non-compete provision, the term "Products" shall mean ready-to-eat cereal products, toaster pastries, cereal bars, granola bars, frozen waffles, crispy marshmallow squares, bagels, and any other similar grain-based convenience food. For purposes of this non-compete provision, the term "Geographic Area" shall mean any country in the world where the Company (including any subsidiary, division or affiliate thereof) manufactures, produces, distributes, sells or markets any of the Products at any time during the applicable Restricted Period (as defined below). For purposes of this paragraph, the Restricted Period with respect to the Products shall be two (2) years from the date of this Agreement J. As a result of the lump sum payments, the Company, its subsidiaries, divisions and affiliates (including the directors, officers and employees of any of them) shall have no further obligations of any kind or nature to Employee, including, without limitation, obligations for any termination, severance or vacation pay, bonus, etc., except as specifically provided herein and except as may be provided under the applicable eligible Company benefit plans in accordance with their terms. K. Employee further agrees to and shall return to the Company no later than his last day worked, without limitation, all files, documents, correspondence, memoranda, customer and client lists, prospect lists, subscription lists, contracts, pricing policies, operational methods, marketing plans or strategies, product development techniques or plans, business acquisition plans, employee records, technical processes, designs and design projects, inventions, research project presentations, proposals, quotations, data, notes, records, photographic slides, chromes, photographs, posters, manuals, brochures, Page 3 of 7 internal publications, books, films, drawings, videos, sketches, plans, outlines, computer disks, computer files, work plans, specifications, credit cards, keys (including elevator, pass, building and door keys), identification cards, and any other documents, writings and materials that Employee came to possess or otherwise acquire as a result of and/or in connection with the Company. Should Employee later find any Company property in his possession, Employee agrees to immediately return it. L. Employee agrees that he will not divulge any/all proprietary and/or confidential business information, except to the extent required pursuant to a legal subpoena or a legal proceeding. M. Employee agrees to conduct himself in a manner that reflects positively on the Company. Similarly, the Company agrees to conduct itself in a manner that reflects positively on Employee.

The Company will reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and, if approved in advance, attorney's fees incurred as a result of such cooperation. Nothing herein shall prevent Employee from communicating with or participating in any government investigation. N. Employee has carefully read this Severance Agreement and understands its contents. Employee recognizes that he will have no further job responsibilities at Kellogg Company. O. Employee has been advised to seek legal council to understand its full force and effect.

Employee agrees that this Severance Agreement is intended to and shall preclude any claim that his separation was in retaliation for exercising any right to which Employee is entitled under the provisions of an employee benefit plan, or for the purpose of interfering with the attainment of any right to which Employee may become entitled under such a plan or under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, in violation of Section 510 of ERISA, 29 USC Sec. 1140, except as specifically altered and/or modified by the Severance Agreement. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as barring any other claims under Section 502 ERISA. Employee agrees he has not filed any charges, claims, or lawsuits against the Company involving any aspect of his employment that have not been terminated as of the date of this Agreement.

Nothing in this provision shall waive any eligible coverage provided in surviving provisions of any applicable Directors and Officers Liability insurance policy. T.

In the event the classification of an individual who is excluded from the definition of Employee under the preceding sentence is determined to be erroneous or is retroactively revised, the individual shall nonetheless continue to be excluded from the definition of Employee and shall be ineligible for benefits for all periods prior to the date the Company or Designated Subsidiary determines its classification of the individual is erroneous or should be revised.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Subsidiary" shall include a limited liability company that is disregarded as an entity separate from a Subsidiary. 3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to Section 14, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be sold under the Plan is 2,500,000. Shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company (in the open-market or in private transactions) and that are being held as treasury shares, or a combination thereof. 4. Participation in the Plan. Each Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan effective as of any Offering Date, by completing and delivering a payroll deduction authorization to the Plan Administrator at least 20 days in advance of the applicable Offering Date in the manner specified by the Plan Administrator. The Offering Date as of which an Eligible Employee commences or recommences participation in the Plan, and each Offering Date as of which an Eligible Employee renews his or her authorization under paragraph (a), is an Offering Date with respect to that Eligible Employee. A Participant's payroll deductions under the Plan shall commence on his or her initial Offering Date, and shall continue, subject to paragraph (a), until the Eligible Employee terminates participation in the Plan, is no longer an Eligible Employee, or the Plan is terminated. (a) A Participant's payroll deduction authorization shall be automatically renewed effective on the Offering Date following the conclusion of his or her initial Purchase Period and each subsequent Purchase Period, unless the Participant otherwise notifies the Plan Administrator in the manner specified by the Plan Administrator at least 20 days in advance of such date. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee shall not be granted an Option on any Offering Date if such Eligible Employee, immediately after the Option is granted, owns stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this paragraph (b), the rules of Code Section 424(d) shall apply in determining the stock ownership of an individual, and stock that an Eligible Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Eligible Employee. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Eligible Employee shall not be permitted to elect participation in the Plan for the next two full Purchase Periods immediately following his or her sale, transfer (including transfer to a different brokerage account or withdrawal from the Participant's Plan Account), or other disposition of Common Stock that was acquired within one year of the Purchase Date applicable to that Common Stock. -4- 5. Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan only through payroll deductions. After-tax payroll deductions shall be made from the Compensation paid to each Participant for each Purchase Period in such whole percentage from 1% to 10% as the Participant shall authorize in his or her election form. No Eligible Employee may be granted an Option that permits his or her rights to purchase Common Stock under the Plan, and any other stock purchase plan of the Company or any Subsidiary that is qualified under Code Section 423, to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such stock (determined on the Offering Date of such Option) for each calendar year of the Company in which the Option is outstanding at any time. 6. Changes in Payroll Deductions. A Participant may not increase or decrease the amount of his or her payroll deductions during a Purchase Period. A Participant may change his or her payroll deductions effective as of a subsequent Purchase Period by notifying the Plan Administrator in the manner specified by the Plan Administrator at least 20 days in advance of the next Offering Date. 7. Termination of Participation in Plan. (a) A Participant may, for any reason and at any time prior to each Purchase Date, voluntarily terminate participation in the Plan by notifying the appropriate payroll office in the time and manner specified by the Plan Administrator. Such Participant's payroll deductions under the Plan shall cease as soon as practicable following delivery of such notice. If the former Participant remains employed by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary after termination of his or her participation in the Plan, any payroll deductions credited to such Participant's Plan Account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date or refunded, without interest, to the Participant, at the election of the Participant. An Eligible Employee whose participation in the Plan is terminated may rejoin the Plan no earlier than the beginning of the Purchase Period next following his or her withdrawal, by delivering a new payroll deduction authorization in accordance with Section 4. (b) A Participant's participation in the Plan shall terminate upon termination of his or her employment with the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries, or termination of status as an Eligible Employee, for any reason. If a former Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary, any payroll deductions credited to his or her Plan Account shall be paid to the former Participant in cash, without interest, as soon as practicable following his or her termination of employment. If the Company or a Designated Subsidiary terminated the Participant's employment without cause (as determined in good faith by the Company or Designated Subsidiary), the Participant's termination was due to death, Disability or Retirement, or the former Participant remains employed by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary after termination of his or her participation in the Plan, any payroll deductions credited to such Participant's Plan Account may be used to purchase shares of Common Stock on the next Purchase Date or refunded, without interest, to the Participant, at the election of the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant's death or Disability, the Participant's Beneficiary). -5- 8. Purchase of Shares. (a) On each Offering Date, each Participant shall be deemed to have been granted an Option. In no event will a Participant be deemed to have been granted more than one Option during any Purchase Period. (b) On the Purchase Date of a Purchase Period, each Participant shall be deemed, without any further action, to have purchased that number of whole and fractional shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the balance in the Participant's Plan Account on the Purchase Date by the Purchase Price. (Fractional shares will be calculated to the third decimal place.) Any amount remaining in the Participant's Plan Account shall be carried forward to the next Purchase Date unless the Plan Account is closed. Except as provided in Sections 13 and 18, in no event may a Participant purchase shares of Common Stock prior to the Purchase Date of a Purchase Period. (c) As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date, a statement shall be delivered to each Participant that shall include the number of shares of Common Stock purchased on the Purchase Date on behalf of such Participant under the Plan. (d) As of the Purchase Date of each Purchase Period, the Common Stock purchased by each Participant shall be considered to be issued and outstanding to his or her credit as a bookkeeping entry maintained by the Custodian in the Participant's Plan Account. Subject to the restrictions of Section 4(c) above, a stock certificate for shares of Common Stock credited to a Participant's Plan Account shall be issued upon request of the Participant at any time. Stock certificates under the Plan shall be issued, at the election of the Participant, in the Participant's name or in his or her name and the name of another person as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common. A cash payment shall be made for any fraction of a share in such Plan Account, if necessary to close the Plan Account. 9. Rights as a Share Owner. A Participant shall not be treated as the owner of Common Stock until the Purchase Date of such stock under the Plan. As of the Purchase Date a Participant shall be treated as the record owner of his or her shares purchased on such date pursuant to the Plan. Unless the Participant elects otherwise in the time and manner specified by the Plan Administrator, any dividends paid in respect of Common Stock purchased by a Participant under the Plan and credited to his or her Plan Account will be reinvested in Common Stock in accordance with procedures established by the Company. 10. Rights Not Transferable. Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or by the Participant's guardian or legal representative. No rights or payroll deductions of a Participant shall be subject to execution, attachment, levy, garnishment or similar process. 11. Application of Funds. All funds of Participants received or held by the Company under the Plan before purchase of the shares of Common Stock shall be held by the Company without liability for interest or other increment. -6- 12. Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have authority to make rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan, and its interpretations and decisions with regard to the Plan and such rules and regulations shall be final and conclusive. It is intended that the Plan shall at all times meet the requirements of Code Section 423, if applicable, and the Plan Administrator shall, to the extent possible, interpret the provision of the Plan so as to carry out such intent. 13. Change of Control Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, each Option outstanding under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses or is unable to assume or substitute for outstanding Options, each Purchase Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date shall be set (the "New Purchase Date"), as of which date any Purchase Period then in progress will terminate. The New Purchase Date shall be on or immediately before the effective time of the Change in Control, and the Plan Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing, at least 10 days before the New Purchase Date, that the Purchase Date for his or her Option has been changed to the New Purchase Date, and that the Participant's Option will be exercised automatically on the New Purchase Date unless the Participant has withdrawn from the Purchase Period before the New Purchase Date, as provided in Section 7. (b) For purposes of the Plan, a "Change in Control" shall mean the happening of any of the following events: (i) An acquisition after the Effective Date by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a "Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (a) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (b) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting Securities");

or -7- (ii) A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 13, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's share owners, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso), either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be so considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation (or similar transaction), a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity ("Corporate Transaction"); in each case, unless immediately following such Corporate Transaction (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (3) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the Board's approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Corporate Transaction will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction;

No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of the Plan and/or the Options granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Board or the Company's share owners to make or authorize (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's or any Subsidiary's capital structure or its business, (b) any merger, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Company's or any Subsidiary's capital stock or the rights thereof, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Company's or any Subsidiary's assets or business, or (f) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary.

Notices. All notices or other communications by an Employee or Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 17. Amendments to the Plan. The Committee may, at any time, or from time to time, amend or modify the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment shall be made increasing or decreasing the number of shares authorized for the Plan (other than as provided in Section 14), and that, except to conform the Plan to the requirements of the Code, no amendment shall be made that would cause the Plan to fail to meet the applicable requirements of Code Section 423. 18. Termination of Plan. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, (b) the date no more shares of Common Stock remain to be purchased under the Plan, or (c) the termination of the Plan by the Board as specified below. The Board may terminate the Plan as of any date. The date of termination of the Plan shall be deemed a Purchase Date.

Costs. All costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any costs or expenses of selling shares of Company Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan shall be borne by the holder thereof. 20. Governmental Regulations. The Company's obligation to sell and deliver its Common Stock pursuant to the Plan is subject to the approval of any governmental authority required in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of such stock. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, state securities laws, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares of Common Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 21. Governing Law. The Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. This Plan is not to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, but is intended to comply with Code Section 423. Accordingly, the provisions of the Plan shall be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner consistent with the requirements of that section of the Code. Any provisions required to be set forth in this Plan by such Code section are hereby included as fully as if set forth in the Plan in full. Any titles and headings herein are for reference purposes only, and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the meaning, construction or interpretation of any provisions of the Plan. 22.

Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs. For purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary (a) any amounts deducted from a Participant's Compensation pursuant to the Participant's payroll deduction election under Section 4 shall be deemed a part of a Participant's compensation, and (b) payments and other benefits received by a Participant under an Option shall not be deemed a part of a Participant's compensation, unless expressly provided in such other plans or arrangements, or except where the Board expressly determines in writing. The existence of the Plan notwithstanding, the -10- Company or any Designated Subsidiary may adopt such other compensation plans or programs and additional compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract, retain and motivate employees. 25.

If a former Participant is no longer employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, the Participant's accrued but unpaid Bonus, if any, shall be paid to the former Participant in cash, without interest, as soon as practicable following his or her termination of employment. 8. Purchase of Shares. (a) On each Purchase Date, each Participant shall be deemed, without any further action, to have purchased that number of whole shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the dollar value of the Participant's Bonus subject to his or her payroll deduction authorization for the applicable Plan Year by the Purchase Price. Except as provided in Section 17, in no event may a Participant purchase shares of Common Stock prior to the Purchase Date in any Plan Year. (b) A stock certificate for whole shares of Common Stock purchased by each Participant shall be issued as soon as practicable after each Purchase Date. Stock certificates under the Plan shall be issued, at the election of the Participant, in the Participant's name or in the Participant's name and the name of another person as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as tenants in common. A cash payment shall be made to a Participant, without interest, for any fraction of a share, if necessary. (c) Each stock certificate evidencing whole shares of Common Stock purchased by a Participant will be stamped or otherwise imprinted with such legend as the Board requires. (d) If on any Purchase Date Participants in the aggregate have elected to purchase more shares of Common Stock than are available for purchase under the Plan, each Participant shall be eligible to purchase a reduced number of shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis, and any excess accrued but unpaid Bonus subject to his or her payroll deduction authorization shall be returned to the Participant, without interest, all as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Plan Administrator. -3- 9. Rights as a Share Owner. A Participant shall not be treated as the owner of Common Stock until the Purchase Date of such Common Stock under the Plan. As of the Purchase Date a Participant shall be treated as the record owner of his or her shares purchased on such date pursuant to the Plan. 10. Rights Not Transferable; Restrictions on Transfers of Shares. Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or by the Participant's guardian or legal representative. No rights or payroll deductions of a Participant shall be subject to execution, attachment, levy, garnishment or similar process. The shares of Common Stock received under this Plan must be held for at least six months following the Purchase Date. 11. Application of Funds. All funds of Participants received or held by the Company under the Plan before purchase of the shares of Common Stock shall be held by the Company without liability for interest or other increment. 12.

The Plan will be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on April 26, 2002, and will be effective retroactively to January 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date"). The purposes of the Plan are to motivate selected senior executives toward achievement of performance goals; encourage teamwork in various segments of the Company; and reward performance with cash bonuses that vary in relation to the achievement of the preestablished performance goals. The Plan replaces the Kellogg Company Senior Executive Officer Performance Bonus Plan, which has expired. SECTION 2 Eligibility The individuals who are assigned one or more of the following titles by the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan, as determined and selected by the Committee (as defined in Section 3 hereof): (i) Chairman, Vice Chairman, Kellogg Company Chief Executive Officer, or Kellogg Company President; (ii) Kellogg Company Executive Vice President; or (iii) Kellogg Company Senior Vice President. Each individual selected for participation will be known as a "Participant". SECTION 3 Administration The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), or such other committee as the Board may from time to time select (the "Committee"). The Committee will at all times be composed of two or more members of the Board, each of whom qualifies as an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 162(m)"). Except as limited by law or the Company's Amended and/or Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, and subject to the provisions herein, the Committee will have full power and authority, to the fullest extent required to comply with Section 162(m), to select Participants (as defined in Section 2 hereof); determine the size of bonus awards; determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions of bonus awards, including the establishment of the Performance Goals (as defined in Section 4 hereof); interpret the Plan; establish, amend or rescind guidelines, rules and regulations for the Plan's administration; review and certify the achievement of Performance Goals; and, subject to Section 9 hereof and the restrictions under Section 162(m), amend the terms and conditions of the Plan, including outstanding Award Opportunities (as defined in Section 4 hereof). Further, the Committee will make all other determinations which may be necessary or advisable for the administration and operation of the Plan. Except as to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Committee may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers granted under the Plan to such other person or entity it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, senior management of the Company. Any such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. All determinations and decisions of the Committee arising under the Plan will be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties. By accepting any benefits under the Plan, each Participant, and each person claiming under or through such Participant, will be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all provisions of the Plan and any determination or decision under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee. SECTION 4 Participation and Performance Goals The Committee will have the authority to select Participants (as defined in Section 2 hereof) for cash bonus awards under the Plan for each Measurement Period and the financial and other performance criteria ("Performance Goals") upon which such awards will be based. For purposes of the Plan, the term "Measurement Period" means the period of one fiscal year, unless an alternate period (such as a portion of a fiscal year or multiple fiscal years) is otherwise selected and established in writing by the Committee at the time the Performance Goal is established. No later than the earlier of ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable Measurement Period or the completion of 25% of such Measurement Period, the Committee will, in its discretion, determine the Participants for such Measurement Period and establish the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant's award. Performance Goals need not be the same for all Participants. The Performance Goals may be based on any one or more of the following measures (or the relative change for any such measure): the Company's earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, return on invested capital, growth in sales and earnings, net sales, cash flow, discounted cash flow, cumulative cash flow, operating profits, pre-tax profits, post-tax profits, consolidated net income, unit sales volume, economic value added, costs, production, unit production volume, improvements in financial ratings, regulatory compliance, achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives, market share and total return to stockholders (including both the market value of the Company's stock and dividends thereon) and the extent to which strategic and business plan goals are met. With respect to each Participant, the Committee will establish ranges of Performance Goals which correspond to various levels of cash bonus amounts ("Award Opportunities") for the Measurement Period. Each range of Performance Goals will include a level of performance at which one hundred percent (100%) of the targeted bonus award ("Target Bonus Award") may be earned. In addition, each range of Performance Goals will include levels of performance above and below the one hundred percent (100%) performance level. The Committee may establish minimum levels of Performance Goal achievement, below which no bonus payment will be made to the Participant. Once established, Performance Goals and Award Opportunities may be adjusted during the Measurement Period only to mitigate the unbudgeted 2 impact of unusual or nonrecurring gains and losses, accounting changes or other extraordinary events not foreseen at the time such Performance Goals and Award Opportunities were established. SECTION 5 Final Bonus Award Determination Awards are based on the achievement of the preestablished Performance Goals. After the Performance Goals are established as described in Section 4 hereof, the Committee will align the achievement of the Performance Goals with Award Opportunities, such that the level of achievement of the Performance Goals at the end of the Measurement Period will determine the Participant's actual annual bonus award ("Final Bonus Award"). Final Bonus Awards may vary above or below the Target Bonus Award, based on the level of achievement of the preestablished Performance Goals. Negative discretion may be used by the Committee to reduce the Final Bonus Award. In no event, however, will an exercise of negative discretion to reduce the Final Bonus Award of a Participant have the effect of increasing the amount of a Final Bonus Award otherwise payable to any other Participant. SECTION 6 Final Bonus Award Limit The total of all Final Bonus Awards payable to Participants for performance in any Measurement Period will not under any circumstances exceed one percent (1%) of the Net Income of the Company (the "Maximum Bonus Awards Pool") for such period. For purposes of the Plan, the term "Net Income" means the income from continuing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, adjusted to exclude the following: (i) all restructuring and disposition-related charges or credits for the fiscal year, net of related tax effect; and (ii) incremental and non-recurring integration costs and other financial impacts, net of tax, related to the business operations of an entity acquired by the Company. The maximum Final Bonus Award any Participant can receive for performance in any Measurement Period is three million dollars ($3,000,000). In the event that the total of all Final Bonus Awards payable to Participants should exceed the Maximum Bonus Awards Pool as specified above, the Final Bonus Award of each Participant will be proportionately reduced such that the total of all such Final Bonus Awards paid is equal to the Maximum Bonus Awards Pool. SECTION 7 Payment of Awards If the Performance Goals established by the Committee are satisfied and upon written certification by the Committee that the Performance Goals have been satisfied, payment will be made in cash as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms of the award, unless the Committee determines in its sole discretion to reduce or eliminate Final Bonus Award 3 determinations for any or all Participants, based upon any objective or subjective criteria it deems appropriate. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. SECTION 8 Termination of Employment Each Participant must remain employed with the Company or a subsidiary through the last day of the Measurement Period to be considered for a Final Bonus Award; provided, however, in the event of a Participant's death, disability or retirement (as defined in the Kellogg Company Salaried Pension Plan or any other retirement plan of the Company or a subsidiary in which the individual participates) during the Measurement Period, the Participant's bonus award will based on the portion of the Measurement Period in which the Participant was employed, computed as determined by the Committee. In the event that a Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, the Participant's rights to a Final Bonus Award will be forfeited; provided, however, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, pay a prorated bonus award to the Participant for the portion of the Measurement Period in which the Participant was employed, computed as determined by the Committee. In the event that a Participant's employment with the Company or a subsidiary terminates for any reason after the completion of the Measurement Period but prior to the actual payment of the cash bonus, the balance of any bonus which remains unpaid at the time of such termination will be payable to the Participant, or forfeited by the Participant, in accordance with the terms of the award granted by the Committee. SECTION 9 Amendment and Termination The Board and the Committee each has the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time and in any respect, except that, unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, no amendment may be made without stockholder approval if, and to the extent that, such approval would be required to comply with any applicable provisions of Section 162(m). Similarly, no amendment or termination of the Plan may alter or impair the rights of any Participant pursuant to an outstanding award without the consent of the Participant. This Plan will expire on December 31, 2006, unless terminated earlier by the Board or the Committee. No further awards will be made under the Plan after termination, but termination will not affect the rights of any Participant under any award made prior to termination. SECTION 10 Miscellaneous Bonus payments will be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund will be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment. No Participant or other person will have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company. The Plan will be governed by and construed in 4 accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. Neither the establishment of this Plan nor the payment of any award hereunder nor any action of the Company, the Board or the Committee with respect to this Plan will be held or construed to confer upon any Participant any legal right to be continued in the employ of the Company or to receive any particular rate of cash compensation other than pursuant to the terms of this Plan and the determination of the Committee, and the Company expressly reserves the right to discharge any Participant whenever the interest of the Company may so permit or require without liability to the Company, the Board or the Committee, except as to any rights which may be expressly conferred upon a Participant under this Plan. The adoption of this Plan will not affect any other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, nor will the Plan preclude the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof from establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for the Participants. 5 EX-13.01 7 k67850ex13-01.txt COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREOWNERS EXHIBIT 13.01 TABLE OF CONTENTS Management's Discussion and Analysis................................... 17 Selected Financial Data................................................ 26 Consolidated Financial Statements...................................... 27 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements............................. 30 Report of Independent Accountants...................................... 43 Supplemental Financial Information..................................... 44 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS KELLOGG COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, frozen waffles, meat alternatives, pie crusts, and ice cream cones. Kellogg products are manufactured in 19 countries and marketed in more than 160 countries around the world. The Company is managed in two major divisions - the United States and International - with International further delineated into Europe, Latin America, Canada, Australia, and Asia. This organizational structure is the basis of the operating segment data presented in this report. During the first quarter of 2001, we completed our acquisition of Keebler Foods Company (the "Keebler acquisition"), making Kellogg Company a leader in the U.S. cookie and cracker categories. Primarily as a result of the Keebler contribution, 2001 net sales and operating profit increased significantly. Despite these increases, net earnings and earnings per share were down versus the prior year, due primarily to increased interest and tax expense related to the Keebler acquisition. We believe that these results reflect, in part, the significant amount of change which occurred at our company during 2001 and somewhat mask the progress we made in positioning our business for sustainable growth in 2002 and beyond. During 2001, we achieved three primary goals. First, we restored our competitiveness in the U.S. cereal category, as evidenced by our improved dollar share. Second, we increased our gross margin through pricing and mix improvements, which will help fund further marketing investment. Finally, our internal measure of "cash flow" (net cash provided from operating activities less expenditures for property additions) was the highest in our company's history. In 2000, we achieved growth in net earnings and earnings per share, excluding charges, despite softness in our U.S. convenience foods business, higher energy prices and interest rates, weak foreign currencies, and inventory write-offs in Southeast Asia. We were able to more than offset these factors through manufacturing efficiencies, reduced advertising and overhead expenses, and recognition of benefits related to U.S. tax credits. During 1999, we increased sales and achieved double-digit growth in net earnings and earnings per share, excluding charges. Volume gains in our Latin America, Australia, and Asia cereal markets; continued expansion of our global convenience foods business; and cost savings from ongoing streamlining and efficiency initiatives contributed significantly to these results. The following items have been excluded from all applicable amounts presented in the "Results of operations" section for purposes of comparison among historical, current, and future periods: - - Subsequent to the acquisition of Keebler, we have incurred costs and experienced other financial impacts related to integration of the Keebler business, which reduced sales and operating profit during 2001. - - During 1999, 2000, and 2001, we reported restructuring charges in operating profit related to our "focus and align" strategy and other streamlining initiatives around the world. - - During 1999, we reported net disposition-related charges in earnings before income taxes attributable primarily to our sale of the Lender's Bagels business. - - During 2001, net earnings included an extraordinary loss related to extinguishment of long-term debt and a charge for the cumulative effect of an accounting change. Reported results are reconciled to comparable results, as follows:

For 2001, the decrease in comparable earnings per share of $.26 was primarily the result of $.34 from incremental interest expense, $.18 from incremental amortization expense, $.17 from a higher effective tax rate, and $.07 from unfavorable foreign currency movements. This was offset by $.50 from business growth, which includes the results of the Keebler business. 17 For 2000, the increase in comparable earnings per share of $.11 consisted of $.02 from business growth and $.11 from favorable tax-rate movements, partially offset by $.02 from unfavorable foreign currency movements.

(a) Trade inventory reductions, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation expense, and incremental costs related to integration of Keebler business. Refer to "Keebler acquisition" section, pages 20-21, for further information. (b) Includes results for applicable portion of the year from Keebler Foods Company, acquired in March 2001; Kashi Company, acquired in June 2000; and The Healthy Snack People business, an Australian convenience foods operation, acquired in July 2000. (c) Refer to "Restructuring charges" section, pages 20-21, for further information. (d) Includes Canada, Australia, and Asia. On a comparable business basis, consolidated net sales for 2001 were essentially flat (volume decline of 1.3% partially offset by pricing/mix improvement of 1.2%), as a 4% increase in U.S. cereal sales to the retail channel was offset by declines in U.S. snack sales and in all international segments except Latin America and Canada. The decline in U.S. snack sales was due primarily to our product rationalization initiative and postponed innovation and marketing support during the integration of this business into the Keebler direct store door (DSD) delivery system. The decline in international sales was driven by the discontinuation of our private-label program in Germany and continued cereal category softness in the United Kingdom and Australia. On a comparable business basis, consolidated operating profit for 2001 was up 2.5%. Increased profitability in international businesses offset the impact of the comparable sales declines discussed above, as well as the impact of increased marketing investment in the U.S. cereal business and additional sales force hiring and training costs in the United States. The impact of Keebler integration activities ("integration impact") reduced growth in consolidated operating profit by approximately 7% during 2001. This integration impact consisted primarily of 1) the sales and gross profit effect of lowering trade inventories to transfer our snack foods to Keebler's DSD system, 2) direct costs for employee incentive and retention programs, employee separation and relocation benefits, and consulting contracts, and 3) impairment and accelerated depreciation of software assets being abandoned due to the conversion of our U.S. business to the SAP system. We estimate that these activities reduced net sales by $17.8 million, increased cost of goods sold by $5.6 million, and increased selling, general, and administrative expense by $51.0 million, for a total 2001 operating profit reduction of $74.4 million. The inclusion of the Keebler business in consolidated results increased our net sales by approximately 29% and operating profit (excluding Keebler amortization expense and restructuring charges) by approximately 28% versus the prior year. Assuming we had owned Keebler during the comparable prior-year period, 2001 consolidated net sales (excluding foreign currency and integration impacts) would have been approximately even with the prior year. Similarly, operating profit (excluding Keebler amortization expense, restructuring charges, foreign currency, and integration impacts) would have increased approximately 4%. Keebler's net sales for full-year 2001 (excluding Kellogg snacks integrated into the DSD system) decreased approximately 1% versus the prior year, primarily as a result of our product rationalization initiative, exit of various non-strategic custom manufacturing contracts, and postponement of new product introductions during the integration process. 18 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 The following tables provide an analysis of net sales and operating profit performance for 2000 versus 1999:

(a) Includes results for applicable portion of the year from Kashi Company, acquired in June 2000, the Healthy Snack People business, an Australian convenience foods operation, acquired in July 2000; Worthington Foods, Inc., acquired in November 1999; and the Lenders Bagels business, divested in November 1999. (b) Refer to "Restructuring charges" section, pages 20-21, for further information. (c) Includes Canada, Australia, and Asia. For 2000, the comparable business sales decline in the United States was .3% (favorable volume of .3% less unfavorable pricing/mix impact of .6%) versus a comparable business operating profit decline of 5.9%. The operating profit decline was attributable primarily to increased production, distribution, and promotional expenditures for convenience foods products, and higher energy costs. In Europe, operating efficiencies and a decline in marketing expense resulted in comparable business growth in operating profit of 14.0%, building on a sales increase of .6% (unfavorable volume of .8% offset by favorable pricing/mix of 1.4%). In Latin America, comparable business sales growth of 12.4% (favorable volume of 7.7% plus favorable pricing/mix of 4.7%) combined with operating efficiencies resulted in comparable business operating profit growth of 16.0%. In other operating segments, comparable business operating profit declined 1.8%, despite a sales increase of 1.0% (favorable volume of 1.4% less unfavorable pricing/mix impact of .4%). Contributing significantly to this operating profit decline was approximately $14 million in aged inventory write-offs and related expenses in Southeast Asia as management initiated restructuring actions to refocus certain Asian markets on sustainable growth. MARGIN PERFORMANCE Margin performance (excluding restructuring charges and 2001 integration impact) was:
================================================================================ Change vs. prior year (pts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross margin 53.5% 52.2% 52.4% +1.3 -.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SGA% as reported (a) 39.1% 36.7% 37.0% Keebler amortization impact -1.0% -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SGA% excluding Keebler amortization 38.1% 36.7% 37.0% -1.4 +.3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating margin excluding Keebler amortization 15.4% 15.5% 15.4% -.1 +.1 ================================================================================
(a) Selling, general, and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales. For 2001, the gross margin improvement was attributable to sales of higher-margin Keebler products, cereal price increases in the United States and Europe, and efforts to improve our global sales mix. The gross margin improvement was offset by an increase in SGA%, resulting in an operating margin comparable to the prior year. The higher SGA% was attributable principally to expenditures for marketing programs, U.S. sales force expansion, and improved employee performance incentives. For 2000, the gross margin was relatively flat versus the prior year, as higher costs of production for Worthington and other new products, aged inventory write-offs in Southeast Asia, and increased energy costs offset productivity gains and lower employee benefit costs. The decrease in SGA% versus the prior year was due primarily to reduced advertising and overhead expenses. INTEREST EXPENSE For 2001, gross interest expense, prior to amounts capitalized, increased significantly versus the prior year, due primarily to interest expense on debt issued late in the first quarter to finance the Keebler acquisition. (Refer to the "Liquidity and capital resources" section beginning on page 23 for further information.) For 2000, gross interest expense was up versus the prior year, due primarily to an increase in short-term interest rates.
================================================================================ (dollars in millions) Change vs. prior year - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reported interest expense $351.5 $137.5 $118.8 Amounts capitalized 2.9 5.6 8.4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross interest expense $354.4 $143.1 $127.2 +147.7% +12.5% ================================================================================
Primarily as a result of the full-year impact of Keebler acquisition related debt, we expect reported 2002 interest expense to increase by approximately $60 million versus the 2001 level. 19 INCOME TAXES For 2001, the consolidated effective tax rate increased significantly over the prior year, primarily as a result of the impact of the Keebler acquisition on nondeductible goodwill and the level of U.S. tax on 2001 foreign subsidiary earnings. Additionally, the 2000 effective tax rate was unusually low, due to the recognition of $33 million in tax credits. Of these credits, $9 million was recorded based on completing studies with respect to U.S. research and experimentation credits for prior years. The remaining $24 million related primarily to utilization of U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. Reduced statutory rates in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany also contributed to the lower effective income tax rate in 2000 as compared to 1999. As a result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 on January 1, 2002 (refer to "Significant accounting policies" section beginning on page 24), goodwill amortization expense - and the resulting impact on the effective income tax rate - will be eliminated in post-2001 years. Thus, we expect the 2002 effective income tax rate to return to historical levels of approximately 37%.
================================================================================ Effective income tax rate Change vs. prior year (pts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparable (a) 40.0% 31.7% 36.2% +8.3 -4.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As reported 40.1% 32.3% 37.0% +7.8 -4.7 ================================================================================
(a) Excludes restructuring and disposition-related charges. Refer to sections beginning on pages 20 and 22. The variance in the reported rates (as compared to the rates excluding the impact of restructuring and disposition-related charges) relates primarily to the disposition of nondeductible goodwill in 1999 and certain restructuring charges in all years for which no tax benefit was provided, based on management's assessment of the likelihood of recovering such benefit in future years. OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET Other income (expense), net includes non-operating items such as interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, charitable donations, and gains on asset sales. Other income (expense), net for 2000 includes a credit of approximately $12 million related to the 1999 sale of the Lender's Bagels business. The total amount consists of approximately $9 million for disposal of assets associated with the business which were not purchased by Aurora Foods Inc. (refer to "Dispositions" section on page 22) and approximately $3 million for final working capital settlement with Aurora. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the past several years, we have commenced major productivity and operational streamlining initiatives in an effort to optimize the Company's cost structure and align resources with our growth strategy. The incremental costs of these programs have been reported during these years as restructuring charges. Specifically, during 2000, we adopted a "focus and align" strategy that emphasizes a stricter prioritization for resource allocation to the United States and our other core markets. In conjunction with this strategy, the Company was reorganized from four operating areas into two divisions - U.S. and International. As a result, we initiated restructuring actions around the world to support this strategy and organization, including staff reductions in our global supply chain and innovation organization, rationalization of international convenience foods capacity, and restructuring of various non-core markets to improve return on investment. These initiatives resulted in restructuring charges during both 2000 and 2001. For the periods presented, operating profit includes restructuring charges for streamlining initiatives, as follows:
================================================================================ (millions, except per share data) 2001 2000 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring charges $48.3 $86.5 $244.6 Credits for reserve adjustments (15.0) -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charges $33.3 $86.5 $244.6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After-tax impact $20.5 $64.2 $156.4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings per share impact $ .05 $ .16 $ .40 ================================================================================
The 2001 charges of $48.3 million are related to preparing Kellogg for the Keebler integration and continued actions supporting our focus and align strategy. Specific initiatives included a headcount reduction of about 30 in our U.S. and global management, rationalization of product offerings and other actions to combine the Kellogg and Keebler logistics systems, and further reductions in convenience foods capacity in Southeast Asia. Approximately two-thirds of the charges were comprised of asset write-offs with the remainder consisting of employee separation benefits and other cash costs. As a result of actions during 2000 and 2001 related to our focus and align strategy, in 2001 we realized approximately $45 million from cost reductions and elimination of operating losses. Savings from Keebler integration-related initiatives have contributed to the total estimate of acquisition-related synergies (refer to "Keebler acquisition" section beginning on page 21). The 2001 credits of $15.0 million result from adjustments to various restructuring and asset disposal reserves. With numerous multi-year streamlining initiatives nearing completion in late 2001, we conducted an assessment of post-2001 reserve needs, resulting in net reductions of $8.8 million for cash outlays and $6.2 million for asset disposals. (Asset disposal reserves are reported within Property, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.) The reduction in cash outlays relates primarily to lower-than-anticipated employee severance and asset removal expenditures, and higher-than-anticipated asset sale proceeds. 20 The 2000 charges of $86.5 million consist of $65.2 million for actions supporting our focus and align strategy and $21.3 million for a supply chain efficiency initiative in Europe. Approximately one-half of the charges for the focus and align program were comprised of asset write-offs with the remainder consisting primarily of cash costs associated with involuntary employee separation programs. Approximately 500 salaried and hourly positions were eliminated, primarily during the fourth quarter of 2000. The charges for the European supply chain program were comprised principally of voluntary employee retirement and separation benefits. This program resulted in hourly and salaried headcount reductions totaling 190 during 2000 and generated approximately $13 million in annual pretax savings in 2001. The 1999 charges consist of $193.2 million for closing the South Operations portion of the Company's Battle Creek, Michigan, cereal plant; $32.7 million for workforce reduction initiatives around the world; and $18.7 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment write-offs related to previously closed or impaired facilities in various locations. Approximately one-half of the charges for the South Operations closing were comprised of asset write-offs, with the remainder consisting primarily of cash costs for employee retirement and separation benefits, equipment removal, and building demolition. Approximately 525 hourly and salaried positions at the Battle Creek plant were eliminated by the end of the first quarter of 2000 through a combination of voluntary and involuntary separation programs. These actions resulted in annual pretax savings of approximately $30 million in 2000 and a further $10 million in 2001, for a total 2001 benefit of $40 million. The charges for workforce reduction initiatives were comprised principally of employee retirement and separation benefit costs for elimination of approximately 325 employee positions in Europe, Latin America, Australia, and Asia during 1999. These initiatives generated approximately $15 million of pretax savings during 1999, and a further $10 million in pretax savings in 2000, for a total 2000 benefit of $25 million. Incremental pretax savings achieved from all streamlining initiatives (except those associated with the Keebler integration) by year, and the relative impact on captions within the Consolidated Statement of Earnings, are:
================================================================================ Relative impact on --------------------------------- Incremental Cost of (dollars in millions) pretax savings goods sold SGA(a) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 $125 10% 90% 2000 50 80% 20% 2001 75 50% 50% ================================================================================

As a result of the Keebler acquisition, we assumed $14.9 million of reserves for severance and facility closures related to Keebler's ongoing restructuring and acquisition-related synergy initiatives. Approximately $5 million of those reserves were utilized in 2001, with the remainder being attributable primarily to noncancelable lease obligations extending through 2006. Refer to Note 3 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the components of the restructuring charges by initiative, as well as reserve balances remaining at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999. KEEBLER ACQUISITION On March 26, 2001, we completed our acquisition of Keebler Foods Company ("Keebler") in a transaction entered into with Keebler and with Flowers Industries, Inc., the majority shareholder of Keebler. Keebler, headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois, ranks second in the United States in the cookie and cracker categories and has the third largest food direct store door (DSD) delivery system in the United States. Under the purchase agreement, we paid $42 in cash for each common share of Keebler or approximately $3.65 billion, including $66 million of related acquisition costs. We also assumed $208 million in obligations to cash out employee and director stock options, resulting in a total cash outlay for Keebler stock of approximately $3.86 billion. Additionally, we assumed $696 million of Keebler debt, bringing the total value of the transaction to $4.56 billion. Of the debt assumed, $560 million was refinanced on the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed through a combination of short-term and long-term debt. The assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001. For purposes of consolidated reporting during 2001, Keebler's interim results of operations were reported for the periods ended March 24, 2001, June 16, 2001, October 6, 2001, and December 29, 2001. Therefore, Keebler results from the date of acquisition to June 16, 2001, were included in the Company's second quarter 2001 results. Related to this acquisition, we recorded $90.4 million of intangible amortization expense during 2001 ($76.5 million after tax) and would have recorded approximately $121 million ($102 million after tax) in 2002. As a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 (refer to "Significant accounting policies" section beginning on page 24), this amortization expense will be eliminated in post-2001 years. 21 As of December 31, 2001, the purchase price allocation included $92.9 million of liabilities related to our plans to exit certain activities and operations of the acquired company ("exit liabilities"), comprised of Keebler employee severance and relocation, contract cancellation, and facility closure costs (refer to Note 2 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). Cash outlays related to these exit plans were $28 million in 2001 and are projected to be approximately $54 million in 2002, with the remaining amounts spent principally during 2003. Exit plans implemented thus far include separation of approximately 90 Keebler administrative employees and the closing of a bakery in Denver, Colorado, eliminating approximately 440 employee positions. During June 2001, the Company communicated plans to transfer portions of Keebler's Grand Rapids, Michigan, bakery production to other plants in the United States during the next 12 months. As a result, approximately 140 employee positions have been eliminated, primarily through a voluntary retirement program. During October 2001, the Company communicated plans to consolidate and expand Keebler's ice cream cone production operation in Chicago, Illinois, which will result in the closure of one facility at this location during 2002. As discussed in the "Results of operations" section on page 18, during 2001 we incurred integration-related costs for consolidation of Kellogg and Keebler employee organizations, computer systems, manufacturing capacity, and distribution systems. We also recognized impairment losses and accelerated depreciation on software assets being abandoned due to the conversion of our U.S. business to the SAP system. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2001, sales and operating profit were impacted negatively by a reduction in trade inventories preceding the transfer of our snack foods to Keebler's DSD system. These financial impacts reduced 2001 operating profit by $74.4 million. While the 2002 operating profit impact of continuing integration activity is currently expected to be insignificant, actual results will depend on various factors, primarily the timing of completion of planned supply chain and information technology initiatives. These activities and other actions are expected to result in Keebler-related pretax annual cost savings of approximately $170 million by 2003, with supply chain initiatives expected to generate the bulk of these savings. OTHER ACQUISITIONS During 2000, we paid cash for several business acquisitions. In January, we purchased certain assets and liabilities of the Mondo Baking Company Division of Southeastern Mills, Inc., a convenience foods manufacturing operation, for approximately $93 million, including related acquisition costs. In June, we acquired the outstanding stock of Kashi Company, a U.S. natural foods company, for approximately $33 million, including related acquisition costs. In July, we purchased certain assets and liabilities of The Healthy Snack People business, an Australian convenience foods operation, for approximately $12 million, including related acquisition costs. In November 1999, we purchased the outstanding common stock of Worthington Foods, Inc. for approximately $300 million in cash, including related acquisition costs. Additionally, we assumed approximately $50 million of Worthington debt, bringing the total value of the acquisition to $350 million. Worthington Foods, Inc. is a leader in the manufacturing and marketing of soy protein-based meat alternatives and other healthful foods. DISPOSITIONS During November 1999, we sold certain assets and liabilities of the Lender's Bagels business to Aurora Foods Inc. for $275 million in cash. As a result of this transaction, we recorded a pretax charge of $178.9 million ($119.3 million after tax or $.29 per share). This charge included approximately $57 million for disposal of other assets associated with the Lender's business, which were not purchased by Aurora. Disposal of these other assets was completed during 2000. The original reserve of $57 million exceeded actual losses from asset sales and related disposal costs by approximated $9 million. This amount was recorded as a credit to other income (expense), net during 2000. During July 1999, we sold our 51% interest in a United Kingdom corn milling operation to Cargill Inc., which owned the remaining 49%. As a result of this sale, we recorded a pretax gain of $10.4 million ($7.8 million after tax or $.02 per share). In total, we recorded net disposition-related charges of $168.5 million ($111.5 million after tax or $.27 per share) during 1999. EURO CONVERSION On January 1, 1999, eleven European countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Austria, and the Netherlands) implemented a single currency zone, the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The new currency, the Euro, has become the official currency of the participating countries. The Euro existed alongside the old national currencies during a transition period from January 1, 1999, to January 1, 2002. During this period, entities within participating countries were required to complete changes that enable them to transact in the Euro. In early 1998, we formed a task force to monitor EMU developments, evaluate the impact of the Euro conversion on our operations, and develop and execute action plans, as necessary. Required business strategy, system, and process changes within our European region have been successfully completed, and business is being transacted in Euros with all relevant suppliers and customers. As a result of our successful implementation of Euro-based processes, internal business risks previously faced by our company have been substantially eliminated. However, we will continue to face external 22 marketplace risk throughout 2002 related to potential competitor and supplier pricing actions, and possible changes in customer and consumer purchasing behavior. Additionally, the Euro has weakened against the U.S. Dollar and British Pound since introduction and needs to be observed over a longer time period before conclusions can be drawn on the currency's long-term strength. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For 2001, net cash provided by operating activities was $1.13 billion, up $251.1 million from the prior-year amount of $880.9 million. The increase was due primarily to favorable core working capital (trade receivables, inventory, and trade payables) trends, with average core working capital representing 8.3% of net sales, versus the year-ago level of 10.3%. Due to the factors discussed above, our measure of 2001 full-year "cash flow" (net cash provided from operating activities less expenditures for property additions) of $855.5 million increased significantly from the 2000 level of $650.0 million. We expect 2002 "cash flow" to be less than the 2001 level, reduced in part, by cash outlays related to Keebler exit plans (refer to "Keebler acquisition" section beginning on page 21), increased employee performance incentive payments, increased interest payments, and a slowing in the pace of further core working capital improvements. Net cash used in investing activities was $4.14 billion, up from $379.3 million in 2000, as a result of the Keebler acquisition. Expenditures for property additions were $276.5 million, which represented 3.1% of net sales compared with 3.3% in 2000. We believe full-year 2002 expenditures will be slightly less than the 2001 level. Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.04 billion, related primarily to issuance of $4.6 billion of long-term debt instruments to finance the Keebler acquisition, net of $1.6 billion of long-term debt retirements. The debt retirements consisted primarily of $400 million of Extendable Notes due February 2001, $500 million of Euro Dollar Notes due August 2001, and $676.2 million of Notes previously held by Keebler Foods Company. In February 2001, we paid holders $11.6 million (in addition to the principal amount and accrued interest) to extinguish $400 million of Extendable Notes prior to the extension date. Thus, during the first quarter of 2001, we reported an extraordinary loss, net of tax, of $7.4 million. On March 29, 2001, we issued $4.6 billion of long-term debt instruments primarily to finance the Keebler acquisition. Initially, these instruments were privately placed, or sold outside the United States, in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). We then exchanged new debt securities for these initial debt instruments, with the new debt securities being substantially identical in all respects to the initial debt instruments, except for being registered under the 1933 Act. In conjunction with this issuance, we settled $1.9 billion notional amount of forward-starting interest rate swaps for approximately $88 million in cash. The swaps effectively fixed a portion of the interest rate on an equivalent amount of debt prior to issuance. The swaps were designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133 (refer to Note 12 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information). As a result, the loss on settlement (net of tax benefit) of $56 million was recorded in other comprehensive income, and is being amortized to interest expense over periods of 5 to 30 years. As a result of this amortization expense, as well as discount on the debt, the overall effective interest rate on the total $4.6 billion long-term debt issuance was approximately 6.75% during 2001. In November 2001, a subsidiary of the Company issued $375 million of five-year 4.49% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes to replace other maturing debt. These Notes are guaranteed by the Company and mature $75 million per year over the five-year term. These Notes, which were privately placed, contain standard warranties, events of default, and covenants. They also require the maintenance of a specified amount of consolidated net worth and a specified consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and limit capital lease obligations and subsidiary debt. In conjunction with this issuance, the subsidiary of the Company entered into a $375 million notional US$ / Pound Sterling currency swap, which effectively converted this debt into a 5.302% fixed rate Pound Sterling obligation for the duration of the five-year term. In order to provide additional short-term liquidity in connection with the Keebler acquisition, we entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement, which was renewed in January 2002, and a Five-Year Credit Agreement, which expires in January 2006. The 364-day agreement permits the Company or certain subsidiaries to borrow up to $950 million. The five-year agreement permits the Company or certain subsidiaries to borrow up to $1.15 billion (or certain amounts in foreign currencies). These agreements require the maintenance of a specified amount of consolidated net worth and a specified consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and limit capital lease obligations and subsidiary debt. These credit facilities were unused at December 31, 2001. Our company has no material off-balance sheet financing arrangements or transactions with structured finance or special purpose entities. Our off-balance sheet commitments are generally limited to future payments under noncancelable operating leases totaling $268 million at December 31, 2001 (refer to Note 6 within Notes to Consolidated Financal Statements for further information). In addition, our Keebler subsidiary is guarantor on approximately $13 million of loans for approximately 400 independent contractors for the purchase of DSD route franchises. Despite the substantial amount of debt incurred to finance the Keebler acquisition, we 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 through our strong cash flow, our program of issuing commercial paper, and maintaining credit facilities on a global basis. 23 The Company's significant long-term debt issues do not contain acceleration of maturity clauses that are dependent on credit ratings. A change in the Company's credit ratings could limit its access to the U.S. commercial paper market and/or increase the cost of refinancing long-term debt in the future. However, even under these circumstances, the Company would continue to have access to its aforementioned credit facilities which are in amounts sufficient to cover the outstanding commercial paper balance and debt principal repayments through 2003. In October 2001, we filed a registration statement with the SEC, which subsequently became effective and allows Kellogg Company and certain business trusts to issue $2.0 billion of debt or equity securities from time to time. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our critical accounting policies, which require significant judgments and estimates, are generally limited to those governing the amount and timing of recognition of consumer promotional expenditures and the assessment of the carrying value of intangible assets including goodwill under SFAS No. 121 for the periods presented. Our promotional activities are conducted either through the retail trade or directly with consumers and involve in-store displays; feature price discounts on our products; consumer coupons, contests, and loyalty programs; and similar activities. The costs of these activities are generally recognized at the time the related revenue is recorded, which normally precedes the actual cash expenditure. The recognition of these costs therefore requires management judgment regarding the volume of promotional offers that will be redeemed by either the retail trade or consumer. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and actual redemptions are normally insignificant and recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period. However, as the Company's total promotional expenditures represented nearly 25% of 2001 net sales, the likelihood exists of materially different reported results if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail. Our assessment of the carrying value of intangible assets including goodwill is based upon our projection of future cash flows associated with these assets. Projections of future cash flows are dependent upon management estimates of future results. These estimates are made using various techniques including historical data, current and anticipated market conditions, management plans, and values realized by other consumer product companies in merger or sale transactions. At December 31, 2001, intangible assets, net, were $5.1 billion. Following is a discussion of recently issued pronouncements that will affect our Company beginning in 2002. REVENUE MEASUREMENT Beginning January 1, 2002, we have applied the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB in Issue No. 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products." Under this consensus, generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. Non-cash consideration is to be classified as a cost of sales. Upon application of this consensus, prior-period financial statements should be reclassified to comply with this guidance. This guidance is applicable to Kellogg Company in several ways. First, it applies to payments we make to our customers (the retail trade) primarily for conducting consumer promotional activities, such as in-store display and feature price discounts on our products. Second, it applies to discount coupons and other cash redemption offers that we provide directly to consumers at the point of sale. Third, it applies to promotional items such as toys that are inserted in or attached to our product packages ("package inserts"). Consistent with industry practice, we had historically classified these items as promotional expenditures within selling, general, and administrative expense (SGA), and had generally recognized the cost as the related revenue was earned. As a result of applying this consensus, we will reclassify promotional payments to our customers and the cost of consumer coupons and other cash redemption offers from SGA to net sales. We will reclassify the cost of package inserts from SGA to cost of goods sold. We believe that consolidated net sales could be reduced up to 15% in 2002, with approximately 95% of this impact reflected in the U.S. operating segment. Consolidated cost of goods sold could be increased by approximately 1.5%. SGA will be reduced correspondingly such that net earnings will not be affected. Restated consolidated and total U.S. net sales for 1997-2001 are as follows:
================================================================================ Consolidated U.S. operating segment ----------------------- -------------------------- (millions) Original Restated Original Restated - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 $8,853.3 $7,548.4 $6,129.0 $4,889.4 2000 6,954.7 6,086.7 4,067.4 3,263.6 1999 6,984.2 6,156.5 4,014.1 3,247.5 1998 6,762.1 6,110.5 3,858.0 3,256.6 1997 6,830.1 6,282.9 3,922.2 3,427.1 ================================================================================
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS We adopted SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" on July 1, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. Both of these standards provide guidance on how companies account for acquired businesses and related disclosure issues. Chief among the provisions of these standards are 1) elimination of the "pooling of interest" method for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, 2) elimination of amortization of goodwill and "indefinite-lived" intangible assets effective for Kellogg Company on January 1, 2002, 24 and 3) annual impairment testing and potential loss recognition for goodwill and non-amortized intangible assets, also effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Goodwill impairment testing first requires a comparison between the carrying value and fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill allocated to it. If carrying value exceeds fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill, which is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. Impairment testing for non-amortized intangibles requires a comparison between the fair value and carrying value of the intangible asset. If carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value. Transitional impairment tests of goodwill and non-amortized intangibles are also performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, with any recognized impairment loss reported as the cumulative effect of an accounting change in the first period of adoption. We have completed these transitional tests and will not be recognizing any impairment losses upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. Regarding the elimination of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible amortization, this change will be made prospectively upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Prior-period financial results will not be restated. However, comparative earnings information for prior periods will be disclosed. Substantially all of our total after-tax amortization expense will be eliminated under these new guidelines. Before impact of these new standards, total after-tax amortization expense in 2002 would have been approximately $110-$115 million. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS We adopted SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets" on January 1, 2002. This Standard will generally be effective for the Company on a prospective basis. SFAS No. 144 clarifies and revises existing guidance on accounting for impairment of plant, property, and equipment, amortized intangibles, and other long-lived assets not specifically addressed in other accounting literature. Significant changes include 1) establishing criteria beyond those previously specified in existing literature for determining when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and 2) requiring that the depreciable life of a long-lived asset to be abandoned is revised. These provisions could be expected to have the general effect of reducing or delaying recognition of future impairment losses on assets to be disposed, offset by higher depreciation expense during the remaining holding period. However, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our 2002 financial results. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity (rather than only a segment of a business). FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Our Management's Discussion and Analysis contains "forward-looking statements" with projections concerning, among other things, our strategy and plans; integration activities, costs, and savings related to the Keebler acquisition; cash outlays and savings related to restructuring actions; the impact of accounting changes; our ability to meet interest and debt principal repayment obligations; effective income tax rate; amortization expense; cash flow; property addition expenditures; and interest expense. Forward-looking statements include predictions of future results or activities and may contain the words "expect," "believe," "will," "will deliver," "anticipate," "project," "should," or words or phrases of similar meaning. Our actual results or activities may differ materially from these predictions. In particular, future results or activities could be affected by factors related to the Keebler acquisition, including integration problems, failures to achieve savings, unanticipated liabilities, and the substantial amount of debt incurred to finance the acquisition, which could, among other things, hinder our ability to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions, make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn, and place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to less-leveraged competitors. In addition, our future results could be affected by a variety of other factors, including: - - competitive conditions in our markets; - - marketing spending levels and pricing actions of competitors; - - the impact of competitive conditions, marketing spending, and/or incremental pricing actions on actual volumes and product mix; - - effectiveness of advertising and marketing spending or programs; - - the success of new product introductions; - - the availability of and interest rates on short-term financing; - - the levels of spending on systems initiatives, properties, business opportunities, integration of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative costs; - - commodity price and labor cost fluctuations; - - changes in consumer preferences; - - changes in U.S. or foreign regulations affecting the food industry; - - expenditures necessary to carry out restructuring initiatives and savings derived from these initiatives; - - U.S. and foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations; and, - - business disruption from terrorist acts or our nation's response to them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them. 25 KELLOGG COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (millions, except per share data and number of employees)

Refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 29 KELLOGG COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kellogg Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Highly liquid temporary investments with original maturities of less than three months are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (principally average) or market. PROPERTY Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated over estimated useful lives using straight-line methods for financial reporting and accelerated methods for tax reporting. Cost includes an amount of interest associated with significant capital projects. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS For the periods presented, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated periods benefited, generally 40 years for goodwill and periods ranging from 5 to 40 years for other intangible assets. The realizability of goodwill and other intangibles is evaluated periodically when events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover the carrying amount. Evaluation is based on undiscounted cash flow projections over the remaining life of the asset. An excess of carrying value over cash flows would result in recognition of an impairment loss. The amount of the loss would be based on the difference between carrying value and fair value of the asset, as measured by market comparables or discounted cash flows in the absence of market data. The Company will be adopting new accounting policies in this area, effective January 1, 2002, as discussed under the "Recently issued pronouncements" caption that follows. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes sales upon delivery of its products to customers net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns, and allowances. ADVERTISING The costs of advertising are generally expensed as incurred. STOCK COMPENSATION The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its employee stock options and other stock-based compensation. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. As permitted, the Company has elected to adopt the disclosure provisions only of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Refer to Note 8 for further information. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" on January 1, 2001. This statement requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. Upon adoption, the Company reported a charge to earnings of $1.0 million (net of tax benefit of $.6 million) and a charge to other comprehensive income of $14.9 million (net of tax benefit of $8.6 million) in order to recognize the fair value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The charge to earnings relates to the component of the derivative instruments' net loss that has been excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Refer to Note 12 for further information. For periods prior to 2001, the Company accounted for derivatives and hedging transactions in a manner similar to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, except that 1) unrealized gains and losses related to hedges of forecasted transactions were deferred as assets or liabilities rather than in other comprehensive income, and 2) the fair values of certain financial derivatives such as interest rate swaps were carried off-balance sheet. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS REVENUE MEASUREMENT Beginning January 1, 2002, the Company has applied the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB in Issue No. 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products." Under this consensus, generally, cash consideration is to be classified as a reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this consideration. Non-cash consideration is to be classified as a cost of sales. Upon application of this consensus, prior-period financial statements should be reclassified to comply with this guidance. This guidance is applicable to Kellogg Company in several ways. First, it applies to payments made by the Company to its customers (the retail trade) primarily for conducting consumer promotional activities, such as in-store display and feature price discounts on the Company's products. Second, it applies to discount coupons and other cash redemption offers that the Company provides directly to consumers at the point of sale. Third, it applies to promotional items such as toys that the Company inserts in or attaches to its product packages ("package inserts"). Consistent with industry practice, the Company has historically classified these items as promotional expenditures within selling, general, and administrative expense (SGA), and has generally recognized the cost as the related revenue was earned. As a result of applying this consensus, the Company will reclassify promotional payments to its customers and the cost of consumer coupons and other cash redemption offers from SGA to net sales. The Company will reclassify the cost of package inserts from SGA to cost of goods sold. Management believes that consolidated net sales could be reduced up to 15% in 2002, with approximately 95% of this impact reflected in the U.S. operating segment. Consolidated cost of goods sold could be increased by approximately 1.5%. SGA will be reduced correspondingly such that net earnings will not be affected. 30 Restated consolidated and total U.S. net sales for 1997-2001 are as follows:
Consolidated U.S. operating segment - ----------------------------------------------------------------- (millions) Original Restated Original Restated - ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 $8,853.3 $7,548.4 $6,129.0 $4,889.4 2000 6,954.7 6,086.7 4,067.4 3,263.6 1999 6,984.2 6,156.5 4,014.1 3,247.5 1998 6,762.1 6,110.5 3,858.0 3,256.6 1997 6,830.1 6,282.9 3,922.2 3,427.1
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The Company adopted SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" on July 1, 2001, and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002. Both of these standards provide guidance on how companies account for acquired businesses and related disclosure issues. Chief among the provisions of these standards are 1) elimination of the "pooling of interest" method for transactions initiated after June 30, 2001, 2) elimination of amortization of goodwill and "indefinite-lived" intangible assets effective for Kellogg Company on January 1, 2002, and 3) annual impairment testing and potential loss recognition for goodwill and non-amortized intangible assets, also effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Goodwill impairment testing first requires a comparison between the carrying value and fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill allocated to it. If carrying value exceeds fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. The amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill, which is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. Impairment testing for non-amortized intangibles requires a comparison between the fair value and carrying value of the intangible asset. If carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value. Transitional impairment tests of goodwill and non-amortized intangibles are also performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, with any recognized impairment loss reported as the cumulative effect of an accounting change in the first period of adoption. The Company has completed these transitional tests and will not be recognizing any impairment losses upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. Regarding the elimination of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible amortization, this change will be made prospectively upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Prior-period financial results will not be restated. However, comparative earnings information for prior periods will be disclosed. Substantially all of the Company's total after-tax amortization expense will be eliminated under these new guidelines. Before impact of these new standards, total after-tax amortization expense in 2002 would have been approximately $110-$115 million. ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets" on January 1, 2002. This standard will generally be effective for the Company on a prospective basis. SFAS No. 144 clarifies and revises existing guidance on accounting for impairment of plant, property, and equipment, amortized intangibles, and other long-lived assets not specifically addressed in other accounting literature. Significant changes include 1) establishing criteria beyond those previously specified in existing literature for determining when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and 2) requiring that the depreciable life of a long-lived asset to be abandoned is revised. These provisions could be expected to have the general effect of reducing or delaying recognition of future impairment losses on assets to be disposed, offset by higher depreciation expense during the remaining holding period. However, management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company's 2002 financial results. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity (rather than only a segment of a business). USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 2 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS KEEBLER ACQUISITION On March 26, 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Keebler Foods Company ("Keebler") in a transaction entered into with Keebler and with Flowers Industries, Inc., the majority shareholder of Keebler. Keebler, headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois, ranks second in the United States in the cookie and cracker categories and has the third largest food direct store door (DSD) delivery system in the United States. Under the purchase agreement, the Company paid $42 in cash for each common share of Keebler or approximately $3.65 billion, including $66 million of related acquisition costs. The Company also assumed $208 million in obligations to cash out employee and director stock options, resulting in a total cash outlay for Keebler stock of approximately $3.86 billion. Additionally, the Company assumed $696 million of Keebler debt, bringing the total value of the transaction to $4.56 billion. Of the debt assumed, $560 million was refinanced on the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and was financed through a combination of short-term and long-term debt. The assets and liabilities of the acquired business were included in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2001. For purposes of consolidated reporting during 2001, Keebler's interim results of operations were reported for the periods ended March 24, 2001, June 16, 2001, October 6, 2001, and December 29, 2001. Therefore, Keebler results from the date of acquisition to June 16, 2001, were included in the Company's second quarter 2001 results. 31 As of December 31, 2001, the components of intangible assets included in the allocation of purchase price are presented in the following table. During 2001, these intangibles were amortized based on an estimated useful life of 40 years. As a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 (refer to Note 1), these intangibles will no longer be amortized after 2001, but will be subject to annual impairment reviews. The process of finalizing valuations of assets and obligations that existed as of the acquisition date is virtually complete. However, management's estimate of "exit liabilities" (discussed below) could change as plans for exit of certain activities and functions of Keebler are refined during the first quarter of 2002, thus impacting the amount of residual goodwill attributable to this acquisition.
(millions) - --------------------------------------------------------------- Trademarks and tradenames $1,310.0 Direct store door (DSD) delivery system 590.0 Goodwill 2,918.3 - --------------------------------------------------------------- $4,818.3
As of December 31, 2001, the purchase price allocation included $92.9 million of liabilities related to management's plans to exit certain activities and operations of the acquired company ("exit liabilities"), as presented in the table below. Cash outlays related to these exit plans are projected to be approximately $54 million in 2002, with the remaining amounts spent principally during 2003.

Exit plans implemented thus far include separation of approximately 90 Keebler administrative employees and the closing of a bakery in Denver, Colorado, eliminating approximately 440 employee positions. During June 2001, the Company communicated plans to transfer portions of Keebler's Grand Rapids, Michigan, bakery production to other plants in the United States during the next 12 months. As a result, approximately 140 employee positions have been eliminated, primarily through a voluntary retirement program. During October 2001, the Company communicated plans to consolidate and expand Keebler's ice cream cone production operation in Chicago, Illinois, which will result in the closure of one facility at this location during 2002. The following table includes the unaudited pro forma combined results as if Kellogg Company had acquired Keebler Foods Company as of the beginning of either 2001 or 2000, instead of March 26, 2001.
(millions, except per share data) 2001 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 9,500.1 $ 9,650.0 Earnings before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of accounting change $ 438.1 $ 518.3 Net earnings $ 429.7 $ 518.3 Net earnings per share (basic and diluted) $ 1.06 $ 1.28
The pro forma results include amortization of the intangibles presented above and interest expense on debt assumed issued to finance the purchase. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of each of the fiscal periods presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results. OTHER ACQUISITIONS During 2000, the Company paid cash for several business acquisitions. In January, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities of the Mondo Baking Company Division of Southeastern Mills, Inc., a convenience foods manufacturing operation, for approximately $93 million, including related acquisition costs. In June, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Kashi Company, a U.S. natural foods company, for approximately $33 million, including related acquisition costs. In July, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities of The Healthy Snack People business, an Australian convenience foods operation, for approximately $12 million, including related acquisition costs. In November 1999, the Company purchased the outstanding common stock of Worthington Foods, Inc. for approximately $300 million in cash, including related acquisition costs. Additionally, the Company assumed approximately $50 million of Worthington debt, bringing the total value of the acquisition to $350 million. Worthington Foods, Inc. is a leader in the manufacturing and marketing of soy protein-based meat alternatives and other healthful foods. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and was financed through short-term borrowings. The purchase price allocation included trademarks and tradenames of $100 million and residual goodwill of $190 million. Through December 31, 2001, these intangibles were amortized based on an estimated useful life of 40 years. As of result of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002, (refer to Note 1), these intangibles will no longer be amortized after 2001, but will be subject to annual impairment reviews. The unaudited pro forma combined historical results, as if Worthington Foods, Inc. had been acquired at the beginning of 1999, are estimated to be: net sales-$7,130.1 million; net earnings-$323.6 million; net earnings per share- $.80. The pro forma results include amortization of the intangibles presented above and interest expense on debt assumed issued to finance the purchase. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of 1999, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results. DISPOSITIONS During November 1999, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities of the Lender's Bagels business to Aurora Foods Inc. for $275 million in cash. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $178.9 million ($119.3 million after tax or $.29 per share). This charge included approximately $57 million for disposal of other assets associated with the Lender's business, which were not purchased by Aurora. Disposal of these other assets was completed during 2000. The original reserve of $57 million exceeded actual losses from asset sales and related disposal costs by approximated $9 million. This amount was recorded as a credit to other income (expense), net during 2000. 32 During July 1999, the Company sold its 51% interest in a United Kingdom corn milling operation to Cargill Inc., which owned the remaining 49%. As a result of this sale, the Company recorded a pretax gain of $10.4 million ($7.8 million after tax or $.02 per share). In total, the Company recorded net disposition-related charges of $168.5 million ($111.5 million after tax or $.27 per share) during 1999. NOTE 3 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the past several years, management has commenced major productivity and operational streamlining initiatives in an effort to optimize the Company's cost structure and align resources with the Company's growth strategy. The incremental costs of these programs have been reported during these years as restructuring charges. Specifically, during 2000, management adopted a "focus and align" strategy that emphasizes a stricter prioritization for resource allocation to the United States and the Company's other core markets. In conjunction with this strategy, the Company was reorganized from four operating areas into two divisions - U.S. and International. As a result, management initiated restructuring actions around the world to support this strategy and organization, including staff reductions in its global supply chain and innovation organization, rationalization of international convenience foods capacity, and restructuring of various non-core markets to improve return on investment. These initiatives resulted in restructuring charges during both 2000 and 2001. For the periods presented, operating profit includes restructuring charges for streamlining initiatives, as follows:
(millions, except per share data) 2001 2000 1999 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructuring charges $ 48.3 $ 86.5 $ 244.6 Credits for reserve adjustments (15.0) -- -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charges $ 33.3 $ 86.5 $ 244.6 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After-tax impact $ 20.5 $ 64.2 $ 156.4 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net earnings per share impact $ .05 $ .16 $ .40
The 2001 charges of $48.3 million are related to preparing Kellogg for the Keebler integration and continued actions supporting the Company's focus and align strategy. Specific initiatives included a headcount reduction of about 30 in U.S. and global Company management, rationalization of product offerings and other actions to combine the Kellogg and Keebler logistics systems, and further reductions in convenience foods capacity in Southeast Asia. Approximately two-thirds of the charges were comprised of asset write-offs with the remainder consisting of employee separation benefits and other cash costs. The 2001 credits of $15.0 million result from adjustments to various restructuring and asset disposal reserves. With numerous multi-year streamlining initiatives nearing completion in late 2001, management conducted an assessment of post-2001 reserve needs, which resulted in net reductions of $8.8 million for cash outlays and $6.2 million for asset disposals. (Asset disposal reserves are reported within Property, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.) The reduction in cash outlays relates primarily to lower-than-anticipated employee severance and asset removal expenditures, and higher-than-anticipated asset sale proceeds. The 2000 charges of $86.5 million consist of $65.2 million for actions supporting the Company's focus and align strategy and $21.3 million for a supply chain efficiency initiative in Europe. Approximately one-half of the charges for the focus and align program were comprised of asset write-offs with the remainder consisting primarily of cash costs associated with involuntary em- ployee separation programs. Approximately 500 salaried and hourly positions were eliminated, primarily during the fourth quarter of 2000. The charges for the European supply chain program were comprised principally of voluntary employee retirement and separation benefits. This program resulted in hourly and salaried headcount reductions totaling 190 during 2000. The 1999 charges consist of $193.2 million for closing the South Operations portion of the Company's Battle Creek, Michigan, cereal plant; $32.7 million for workforce reduction initiatives around the world; and $18.7 million, primarily for manufacturing equipment write-offs related to previously closed or impaired facilities in various locations. Approximately one-half of the charges for the South Operations closing were comprised of asset write-offs, with the remainder consisting primarily of cash costs for employee retirement and separation benefits, equipment removal, and building demolition. Approximately 525 hourly and salaried positions at the Battle Creek plant were eliminated by the end of the first quarter of 2000 through a combination of voluntary and involuntary separation programs. The charges for workforce reduction initiatives were comprised principally of employee retirement and separation benefit costs for elimination of approximately 325 employee positions in Europe, Latin America, Australia, and Asia during 1999. Total cash outlays incurred or expected for streamlining initiatives by year are:
(millions) - -------------------------------- 1999 $69 2000 68 2001 35 2002 expected 10
As a result of the Keebler acquisition, we assumed $14.9 million of reserves for severance and facility closures related to Keebler's ongoing restructuring and acquisition-related synergy initiatives. Approximately $5 million of those reserves were utilized in 2001, with the remainder being attributable primarily to noncancelable lease obligations extending through 2006. The components of the restructuring charges by initiative, as well as reserve balances remaining at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, were:

NOTE 4 OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET Other income (expense), net includes non-operating items such as interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, charitable donations, and gains on asset sales. Other income (expense), net for 2000 includes a credit of approximately $12 million related to the 1999 sale of the Lender's Bagels business. The total amount consists of approximately $9 million for disposal of assets associated with the business which were not purchased by Aurora Foods Inc. (refer to Note 2) and approximately $3 million for final working capital settlement with Aurora. 34 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. Basic net earnings per share is reconciled to diluted net earnings per share as follows:

NOTE 6 LEASES The Company's leases are generally for equipment and warehouse space. Rent expense on all operating leases was $100.0 million in 2001, $36.7 million in 2000, and $31.5 million in 1999. The increase in 2001 rent expense as compared to prior years relates primarily to operating leases held by Keebler Foods Company, acquired by the Company in March 2001 (refer to Note 2 for further information). At December 31, 2001, future minimum annual rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases totaled $268 million consisting of (in millions): 2002-$83; 2003-$53; 2004-$40; 2005-$31; 2006- $31; 2007 and beyond-$30. At December 31, 2001, future minimum annual payments under noncancelable capital leases totaled $14.6 million consisting of (in millions): 2002-$2.8; 2003-$1.9; 2004-$6.3; 2005-$1.7; 2006-$1.5; 2007 and beyond-$.4. NOTE 7 DEBT Notes payable at year-end consisted of commercial paper borrowings in the United States and Canada and, to a lesser extent, bank loans of foreign subsidiaries at competitive market rates, as follows:

35 Additionally, during 2000, the Company entered into financing arrangements that provided for the sale of future foreign currency revenues. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had committed to borrowings during 2001 in the cumulative principal amount of approximately $160 million, which were converted to foreign currency forward contracts in January 2001. No borrowings were outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2000. Long-term debt at year-end consisted primarily of fixed rate issuances of U.S. and Euro Dollar Notes, as follows:

(a) In October 1998, the Company issued $200 of seven-year 4.875% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes to replace maturing long-term debt. In conjunction with this issuance, the Company settled $200 notional amount of interest rate forward swap agreements, which, when combined with original issue discount, effectively fixed the interest rate on the debt at 6.07%. (b) In January 1997, the Company issued $500 of seven-year 6.625% fixed rate Euro Dollar Notes. In conjunction with this issuance, the Company settled $500 notional amount of interest rate forward swap agreements, which effectively fixed the interest rate on the debt at 6.354%. (c) In August 1997, the Company issued $500 of four-year 6.125% Euro Dollar Notes which were repaid in August 2001. In conjunction with this issuance, the Company settled $400 notional amount of interest rate forward swap agreements which effectively fixed the interest rate on the debt at 6.4%. Associated with this debt, during September 1997, the Company entered into a $200 notional, four-year fixed-to-floating interest rate swap, indexed to three-month LIBOR. (d) In February 1998, the Company issued $400 of three-year 5.75% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes. These Notes were issued under an existing "shelf registration" with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and provided an option to holders to extend the obligation for an additional four years at a predetermined interest rate of 5.63% plus the Company's then-current credit spread. As a result of this option, the effective interest rate on the Notes was 5.23%. In conjunction with this issuance, the Company entered into a $400 notional, three-year fixed-to-floating interest rate swap, indexed to the Federal Reserve AA Composite Rate on 30-day commercial paper. During February 2001, the Company paid holders $11.6 to extinguish the Notes prior to the extension date. Thus, during the first quarter of 2001, the Company reported an extraordinary loss, net of tax, of $7.4 ($.02 per share). (e) In March 2001, the Company issued $4.6 billion of long-term debt instruments, further described in the table below, primarily to finance the acquisition of Keebler Foods Company (refer to Note 2). Initially, these instruments were privately placed, or sold outside the United States, in reliance on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The Company then exchanged new debt securities for these initial debt instruments, with the new debt securities being substantially identical in all respects to the initial debt instruments, except for being registered under the 1933 Act. These debt securities contain standard events of default and covenants. The Notes due 2006 and 2011, and the Debentures due 2031 may be redeemed in whole or part by the Company at any time at prices determined under a formula (but not less than 100% of the principal amount plus unpaid interest to the redemption date). In conjunction with this issuance, the Company settled $1.9 billion notional amount of forward-starting interest rate swaps for approximately $88 in cash. The swaps effectively fixed a portion of the interest rate on an equivalent amount of debt prior to issuance. The swaps were designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to SFAS No. 133 (refer to Note 12). As a result, the loss on settlement (net of tax benefit) of $56 was recorded in other comprehensive income, and is being amortized to interest expense over periods of 5 to 30 years. The pretax loss of $88 is presented in the "Other" caption within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The effective interest rates presented in the following table reflect this amortization expense, as well as discount on the debt.

(f) In November 2001, a subsidiary of the Company issued $375 of five-year 4.49% fixed rate U.S. Dollar Notes to replace other maturing debt. These Notes are guaranteed by the Company and mature $75 per year over the five-year term. These Notes, which were privately placed, contain standard warranties, events of default, and covenants. They also require the maintenance of a specified amount of consolidated net worth and a specified consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and limit capital lease obligations and subsidiary debt. In conjunction with this issuance, the subsidiary of the Company entered into a $375 notional US$/ Pound Sterling currency swap, which effectively converted this debt into a 5.302% fixed rate Pound Sterling obligation for the duration of the five-year term. In order to provide additional short-term liquidity in connection with the Keebler Foods Company acquisition referenced above, the Company entered into a 364-Day Credit Agreement, which was renewed in January 2002, and a Five-Year Credit Agreement, expiring in January 2006. The 364-day agreement permits the Company or certain subsidiaries to borrow up to $950 million. The five-year agreement permits the Company or certain subsidiaries to borrow up to $1.15 billion (or certain amounts in foreign currencies). These two credit agreements contain standard warranties, events of default, and covenants. They also require the maintenance of a specified amount of consolidated net worth and a specified consolidated interest expense coverage ratio, and limit capital lease obligations and subsidiary debt. These credit facilities were unused at December 31, 2001. Including the aforementioned Credit Agreements, the Company had $2.50 billion of short-term lines of credit at December 31, 2001, virtually all of which were unused and available for borrowing on an unsecured basis. Scheduled principal repayments on long-term debt are (in millions): 2002-$82.3; 2003- $1,106.2; 2004-$582.3; 2005-$278.8; 2006-$1,077.4; 2007 and beyond-$2,604.4. Interest paid was (in millions): 2001-$303; 2000-$141; 1999-$124. Interest expense capitalized as part of the construction cost of fixed assets was (in millions): 2001-$2.9; 2000-$5.6; 1999-$8.4. At December 31, 2001, the Company's Keebler subsidiary was guarantor on approximately $13 million of loans for approximately 400 independent contractors for the purchase of DSD route franchises. NOTE 8 STOCK COMPENSATION The 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2001 Plan") provides for benefits to be awarded to key employees and officers in the form of incentive and nonqualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, restricted stock grants, and other stock-based awards. Options granted under this plan generally vest over two years, subject to earlier vesting if a change of control occurs. Restricted stock grants under this plan generally vest in three years. Under this plan, approximately 300,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted during 2001 to eligible employees. Also under this plan, performance units were awarded during 2001 to a limited number of senior executive-level employees for the achievement of cumulative cash flow targets for a three-year period ending on December 31, 2003. If the performance targets are met, the award of units represents the right to receive shares of common stock equal to the dollar award valued on the vesting date. The awards are earned and vest in February 2004. No awards are earned unless a minimum threshold is attained. The maximum dollar award that could be attained under this program is $18 million. During 2001, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $6 million related to restricted stock grants and performance unit awards. 36 The 2001 Plan and the Non-Employee Director Stock Plan described below contain an accelerated ownership feature ("AOF"). An AOF option is generally granted when Company stock is used to pay the exercise price of a stock option or any taxes owed. The holder of the option is generally granted an AOF option for the number of shares so used with the exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the Company's stock. For all AOF options, the original expiration date is not changed but the options vest immediately. Prior to approval by shareholders during 2000 of the 2001 Plan, the Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan provided substantially similar stock-based benefits to executive-level employees. Under this plan, approximately 100,000 restricted shares of common stock were granted during 2000 to eligible employees. The Kellogg Employee Stock Ownership Plan was designed to offer stock and other incentive awards based on Company performance to employees who were not eligible to participate in the Key Employee Long Term Incentive Plan. Options which have been awarded under this plan generally vest over five years. Options under all plans described above are granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the time of the grant and have a term of no more than ten years, if they are incentive stock options, or no more than ten years and one day, if they are non-qualified stock options. The Non-Employee Director Stock Plan was approved by shareholders in 2000 and allows each eligible non-employee director to receive 1,700 shares of the Company's common stock and annual grants of options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These shares are placed in the Kellogg Company Grantor Trust for Non-Employee Directors (the "Grantor Trust"). Under the terms of the Grantor Trust, shares are available to a director only upon termination of service on the Board. During 2001, 55,000 options and 17,000 shares of common stock were granted under this plan. As permitted by SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to account for employee and director stock option grants under APB No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for these grants. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Had compensation cost for the stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share are estimated as follows:
(millions, except per share data) 2001 2000 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net earnings: As reported $ 473.6 $ 587.7 $ 338.3 Pro forma $ 449.9 $ 567.1 $ 311.4 Basic net earnings per share: As reported $ 1.17 $ 1.45 $ .83 Pro forma $ 1.11 $ 1.40 $ .77 Diluted net earnings per share: As reported $ 1.16 $ 1.45 $ .83 Pro forma $ 1.10 $ 1.40 $ .77 ====================================================================================

37 NOTE 9 PENSION BENEFITS The Company has a number of U.S. and foreign pension plans to provide retirement benefits for its employees. Benefits for salaried employees are generally based on salary and years of service, while union employee benefits are generally a negotiated amount for each year of service. Plan funding strategies are influenced by tax regulations. Plan assets consist primarily of equity securities with smaller holdings of bonds, real estate, and other investments. Investment in Company common stock represented 1.7% and 1.9% of consolidated plan assets at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The components of pension expense were:

All gains and losses, other than those related to curtailment or special termination benefits, are recognized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. Net gains or losses from curtailment and special termination benefits recognized in 1999-2001 were recorded as a component of restructuring charges. Refer to Note 3 for further information. At December 31, 2001, a cumulative after-tax charge of $13.3 million ($19.8 million pre-tax) has been recorded in other comprehensive income to recognize the additional minimum pension liability in excess of unrecognized prior service cost. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries sponsor 401(k) or similar savings plans for active employees. Expense related to these plans was (in millions): 2001- $18; 2000-$16; 1999-$17. NOTE 10 NONPENSION POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Certain of the Company's U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries provide health care and other benefits to substantially all retired employees, their covered dependents, and beneficiaries. Generally, employees are currently eligible for these benefits when one of the following service/age requirements is met: 30 years and any age; 20 years and age 55; 5 years and age 62. Plan assets consist primarily of equity securities with smaller holdings of bonds. 38 Components of postretirement benefit expense were:

The assumed health care cost trend rate was 9% for 2002, decreasing gradually to 4.5% by the year 2007 and remaining at that level thereafter. These trend rates reflect the Company's prior experience and management's expectation that future rates will decline. A one percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
ONE PERCENTAGE ONE PERCENTAGE (millions) POINT INCREASE POINT DECREASE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect on total of service and interest cost components $ 10.3 ($ 8.4) Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $ 103.5 ($ 86.1) ======================================================================
All gains and losses, other than those related to curtailment or special termination benefits, are recognized over the average remaining service period of active plan participants. Net gains from curtailment and special termination benefits recognized in 2001 and 2000 were recorded as a component of restructuring charges. The net loss from curtailment and special termination benefits for 1999 includes a $2.2 million loss recorded as a component of restructuring charges and a $1.7 million gain recorded as a component of disposition-related charges. Refer to Notes 2 and 3 for further information. The Company contributes to a voluntary employee benefit association (VEBA) trust for funding of its nonpension postretirement benefit obligations. NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES Earnings before income taxes, extraordinary loss, and cumulative effect of accounting change, and the provision for U.S. federal, state, and foreign taxes on these earnings, were:

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company's effective rate was:
2001 2000 1999 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Foreign rates varying from 35% (1.1) (.6) (.5) State income taxes, net of federal benefit 2.5 1.8 2.0 Net change in valuation allowances .1 (3.0) (1.3) Non-deductible goodwill amortization 2.9 .6 -- Statutory rate changes, deferred tax impact (.1) (.3) (.6) Other .8 (1.2) 2.4 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective income tax rate 40.1% 32.3% 37.0% ===========================================================================================
Generally, the changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and corresponding impacts on the effective income tax rate, as presented above, result from management's assessment of the Company's ability to utilize certain operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. For 2000, the change in valuation allowance relates primarily to utilization of U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. As a result, the effective income tax rate was significantly lower in 2000 as compared to either 2001 or 1999. Reduced statutory rates in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany also contributed to the lower effective income tax rate in 2000 as compared to 1999. 39 For 2001, the significant increase in the income tax rate impact of nondeductible goodwill relates to the Company's acquisition of Keebler Foods Company (refer to Note 2). As a result of the Company's adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 (refer to Note 1), goodwill amortization expense - and the resulting impact on the effective income tax rate - will be eliminated in post-2001 years.

The amounts reported above for unrealized hedging losses, net, relate to the effect of cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income pursuant to SFAS No. 133, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2001. Refer to Notes 5 and 12 for further information. For further information on the amount reported above for Keebler exit liabilities, refer to Note 2. At December 31, 2001, foreign subsidiary earnings of approximately $1.09 billion were considered permanently invested in those businesses. Accordingly, U.S. income taxes have not been provided on these earnings. Cash paid for income taxes was (in millions): 2001-$195.7; 2000-$246; 1999- $242. The 2001 amount is net of a tax refund of approximately $73 million related to the cash-out of Keebler employee and director stock options upon acquisition of Keebler Foods Company (refer to Note 2 for further information). NOTE 12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATION The fair values of the Company's financial instruments are based on carrying value in the case of short-term items, quoted market prices for derivatives and investments, and, in the case of long-term debt, incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar terms and maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, receivables, and notes payable approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 2001, exceeded its carrying value by approximately $217 million. The Company is exposed to certain market risks which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations and uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. In general, instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. In accordance with SFAS No. 133 (refer to Note 1), the Company designates derivatives as either cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, or other contracts used to reduce volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. Dollars. The fair values of all hedges are recorded in accounts receivable or other current liabilities. Gains and losses representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recorded in other income (expense), net. These amounts were insignificant during 2001. CASH FLOW HEDGES Qualifying derivatives are accounted for as cash flow hedges when the hedged item is a forecasted transaction. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income until the underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the Statement of Earnings on the same line item as the underlying transaction. The total net loss attributable to cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2001, was $48.9 million related primarily to forward-starting interest rate swaps settled during 2001 (refer to Note 7). This loss is being reclassified into interest expense over periods of 5 to 30 years. Other insignificant amounts related to foreign currency and commodity price cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. FAIR VALUE HEDGES Qualifying derivatives are accounted for as fair value hedges when the hedged item is a recognized asset, liability, or firm commitment. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in earnings, offsetting gains and losses on the hedged item. NET INVESTMENT HEDGES Qualifying derivative and non-derivative financial instruments are accounted for as net investment hedges when the hedged item is a foreign currency investment in a subsidiary. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income. The net amount recorded in other comprehensive income during 2001 was insignificant. OTHER CONTRACTS The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts and options to reduce volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. 40 Dollars. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in other income (expense), net, generally reducing the exposure to translation volatility during a full-year period. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related primarily to third-party purchases, intercompany loans and product shipments, and non-functional currency denominated third-party debt. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency investments in subsidiaries and cash flows related to repatriation of these investments. Additionally, the Company is exposed to volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. Dollars. The Company assesses foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows and enters into forward contracts, options, and currency swaps to reduce fluctuations in net long or short currency positions. Forward contracts and options are generally less than 12 months duration. Currency swap agreements are established in conjunction with the term of underlying debt issues. For foreign currency cash flow and fair value hedges, the assessment of effectiveness is generally based on changes in spot rates. Changes in time value are reported in other income (expense), net. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed rate debt and existing issuances of variable rate debt. The Company currently uses interest rate swaps, including forward-starting swaps, to reduce interest rate volatility and funding costs associated with certain debt issues, and to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. Variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and the assessment of effectiveness is based on changes in the present value of interest payments on the underlying debt. Fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges and the assessment of effectiveness is based on changes in the fair value of the underlying debt, using incremental borrowing rates currently available on loans with similar terms and maturities. PRICE RISK The Company is exposed to price fluctuations primarily as a result of antici- pated purchases of raw and packaging materials. The Company uses the combination of long cash positions with suppliers, and exchange-traded futures and option contracts to reduce price fluctuations in a desired percentage of forecasted purchases over a duration of generally less than one year. Commodity contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The assessment of effectiveness is based on changes in futures prices. CREDIT RISK CONCENTRATION The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. This credit loss is limited to the cost of replacing these contracts at current market rates. Management believes the probability of such loss is remote. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company places its investments in highly rated financial institutions and investment-grade short-term debt instruments, and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one entity. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers, generally short payment terms, and their dispersion across geographic areas.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Kellogg Company In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kellogg Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Battle Creek, Michigan January 25, 2002 43 SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES RELATED TO MARKET RISK SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to certain market risks which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations and uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. The Company, as a matter of policy, does not engage in trading or speculative transactions. Refer to Note 12 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on accounting policies related to derivative financial and commodity instruments. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related to third-party purchases, intercompany loans and product shipments, and non-functional currency denominated third-party debt. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency investments in subsidiaries and cash flows related to repatriation of these investments. Additionally, the Company is exposed to volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. Dollars. Primary exposures include the U.S. Dollar versus the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Mexican Peso, and in the case of inter-subsidiary transactions, the British Pound versus the Euro. The Company assesses foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows and enters into forward contracts, options, and currency swaps to reduce fluctuations in net long or short currency positions. Forward contracts and options are generally less than 12 months duration. Currency swap agreements are established in conjunction with the term of underlying debt issuances. Additionally, during 2000, the Company entered into financing arrangements that provided for the sale of foreign currency revenues. No borrowings were outstanding under commitments to sell foreign currency revenues at December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had committed to borrowings during 2001 in the cumulative principal amount of approximately $160 million, which were converted to foreign currency forward contracts in January 2001. The tables below summarize forward contracts and currency swaps held at year-end 2001 and 2000. All of these derivatives are valued in U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates, are hedges of anticipated transactions, and mature within one year, except where indicated.

INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to future issuances of fixed rate debt and existing issuances of variable rate debt. Primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR), and commercial paper rates. The Company currently uses interest rate swaps, including forward swaps, to reduce interest rate volatility and funding costs associated with certain debt issues, and to achieve a desired proportion of variable versus fixed rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions. The tables on page 45 provide information on the Company's significant debt issues and related hedging instruments at year-end 2001 and 2000 (refer to the table above for currency swaps related to debt issues). For foreign currency-denominated debt, the information is presented in U.S. Dollar equivalents. Variable interest rates are based on effective rates or implied forward rates as of year-end 2001. Refer to Note 7 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. 44 SIGNIFICANT DEBT ISSUES (dollars in millions) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a) Forward-starting interest rate swaps which were settled in conjunction with a debt issuance in 2001. PRICE RISK The Company is exposed to price fluctuations primarily as a result of anticipated purchases of raw and packaging materials. Primary exposures include corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean oil, sugar, cocoa, and paperboard. The Company uses the combination of long cash positions with suppliers, and exchange-traded futures and option contracts to reduce price fluctuations in a desired percentage of forecasted purchases over a duration of generally less than one year. The fair values of commodity contracts held at year-end 2001 and 2000 were insignificant, and potential near-term changes in commodity prices were not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's future earnings or cash flows. For all derivative financial instruments presented in the tables above, changes in fair values of these instruments and the resulting impact on the Company's cash flows and/or earnings would generally be offset by changes in values of underlying transactions and positions. Therefore, it should be noted that the exclusion of certain of the underlying exposures from the tables above may be a limitation in assessing the net market risk of the Company. 46
