Note 1 Accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes contained on pages 27 to 5657 of the Company’s 20092010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed balance sheet data at January 2, 20101, 2011 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended OctoberApril 2, 20102011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

New accounting standard

In December 2009, the FASB amended the Accounting Standards Codification related to the consolidation provisions that apply to variable interest entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years that begin after November 15, 2009 and was adopted by the Company on a prospective basis as of January 3, 2010 without material impact to its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 Goodwill and other intangible assets

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year-to-date periodquarter ended OctoberApril 2, 20102011 are presented in the following table. Certain of the Company’s goodwill balances are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments. Fluctuations in exchange rates contributed to the change in goodwill balance for the period.

Note 3 Exit or disposal activities

The Company views its continued spending on cost-reduction activities as part of its ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.

20102011 activities

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2010,2011, the Company incurred exit costs related to two ongoing programs which will result in cost of goods sold (COGS) and selling, general and administrative (SGA) expense savings. The COGS program relates to Kellogg’s lean, efficient, and agile network (K LEAN). The SGA programs focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of various support functions.

Total charges incurred during the quarterquarters ended April 2, 2011 and year-to-date periods ended October 2,April 3, 2010 were as follows:

Note 4 Equity

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to Kellogg Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted 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 consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic earnings per share is reconciled to diluted earnings per share in the following table. The total number of anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation were 9 million and 47 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2011 and year-to-date periods ended October 2, 2010, respectively, and 12 million and 201 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended OctoberApril 3, 2009, respectively.2010.

In March 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured Four-Year Credit Agreement to replace its existing unsecured Five-Year Credit Agreement, which would have expired in November 2011. The Four-Year Credit Agreement allows the Company to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $2.0 billion, to obtain letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $75 million, U.S. swingline loans in an aggregate amount up to $200 million and European swingline loans in an aggregate amount up to $400 million and to provide a procedure for lenders to bid on short-term debt of the Company. The agreement contains customary covenants and warranties, including specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, and a specified interest coverage ratio. If an event of default occurs, then, to the extent permitted, the administrative agent may terminate the commitments under the credit facility, accelerate any outstanding loans under the agreement, and demand the deposit of cash collateral equal to the lender’s letter of credit exposure plus interest.

Performance shares

In the first quarter of 2010,2011, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date, provided cumulative three-year operating profit and internal net sales growth targets are achieved.

The 20102011 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 210,000226,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $48 per share. The actual number of shares issued on the vesting date could range from 0 to 200% of target, depending on actual performance achieved. Based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, the maximum future value that could be awarded to employees on the vesting date for all outstanding performance share awards was as follows:

Plan funding strategies may be modified in response to management’s evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions, and competing investment alternatives.

During the first quarter of 2010,2011, the Company amended itsre-measured a U.S. postretirement healthcarepension plan’s projected benefit plan, which resulted inobligation as a decreaseresult of lump sum settlement activity during 2011. In connection with the re-measurement, the Company incurred settlement expense totaling $1 million and recorded a deferred tax assetpre-tax net actuarial gain of $17 million. This impact was recorded$6 million in other comprehensive income.income during the first quarter.

Note 78 Income taxes

The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended OctoberApril 2, 2011, of 28% was comparable to prior year’s rate of 27%. Both periods were positively impacted by discrete items. The effective rate for the first quarter of 2011 benefited from an international legal restructuring, while the effective rate for the first quarter of 2010 was higher than thebenefited from an immaterial correction of an item related to prior period due to the positive impact of various provision-to-return adjustments.years.

As of OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, the Company classified $48$11 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a current liability, representing several income tax positions under examination in various jurisdictions. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability balance, expected to be settled within one year, offset by $11$10 million of projected additions. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

Following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the year-to-date period ended OctoberApril 2, 2010; $1062011; $55 million of this total represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods.

Note 89 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements

The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. 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.

The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, orand uses other contracts used to reduce volatility in interest rates and the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. dollars. The fair value of derivative instruments is recorded in other prepaid assets, other assets, other current liabilities or other liabilities. Gains and losses representing either hedge ineffectiveness, hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, or hedges of translational exposure are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income in other income (expense), net. Within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, settlements of cash flow and fair value hedges are classified as an operating activity; settlements of all other derivatives are classified as a financing activity. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.

Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments at Octoberas of April 2, 20102011 and January 2, 20101, 2011 were as follows:

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 (loss) (AOCI) to the Consolidated Statement of Income on the same line item as the underlying transaction.

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 nonderivative financial instruments are accounted for as net investment hedges when the hedged item is a nonfunctional currency investment in a subsidiary. Gains and losses on these instruments are included in foreign currency translation adjustments in AOCI.

Other contracts

The Company also periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts and options to reduce volatility in the translation of foreign currency earnings to U.S. 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 currency exchange risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency cash flows related primarily to third-party purchases, intercompany transactions and nonfunctional 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 denominated earnings to U.S. dollars. Management assesses foreign currency risk based on transactional cash flows and translational volatility 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 18 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. The Company periodically 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.

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 anticipated purchases of raw and packaging materials, fuel, and energy. The Company has historically used the combination of long-term contracts with suppliers, and exchange-traded futures and option contracts to reduce price fluctuations in a desired percentage of forecasted raw material purchases over a duration of generally less than 18 months.

Commodity contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The assessment of effectiveness for exchange-traded instruments is based on changes in futures prices. The assessment of effectiveness for over-the-counter transactions is based on changes in designated indices.

Credit-risk-related contingent features

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating falls below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on October 2, 2010 was $39 million. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of October 2, 2010, the Company would be required to post collateral of $39 million. In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting requirements as of October 2, 2010 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features.

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that arewere included in each category at OctoberApril 2, 20102011 and January 2, 2010.1, 2011, measured on a recurring basis.

Level 1 –Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.

Level 2 –Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.

The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 –Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of OctoberApril 2, 20102011 or January 2, 2010.1, 2011.

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is

limited due to the credit ratings of the counterparties and the use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements.

Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company of $57$42 million as of OctoberApril 2, 2010.2011.

For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or our counterparties exceeds a certain amount. There were no collateral balance requirements at OctoberApril 2, 2010.2011.

Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 28%35% of consolidated trade receivables at OctoberApril 2, 2010.2011.

Note 9 Voluntary product recall

On June 25, 2010, the Company announced a voluntary recall of select packages of Kellogg’s cereal in the U.S. due to an odor from waxy resins found in the package liner. Estimated customer returns and consumer rebates were recorded as a reduction of net sales; costs associated with returned product and the disposal and write-off of inventory were recorded as COGS; and other recall costs were recorded as SGA expenses. During the quarter, the Company refined the estimated costs of the recall, which resulted in a reduction of $1 million, for a year-to-date expense through October 2, 2010 of $47 million, or $.09 per share on a diluted basis. In addition to the costs of the voluntary recall, the Company also lost sales of the impacted products in the second and third quarters of 2010.

PART I—FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of operations

Overview

For more than 100 years, consumers have counted on Kellogg for great-tasting, high-quality and nutritious foods. Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit snacks, frozen waffles and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. We currently manage our operations in four geographic operating segments, consisting of North America and the three International operating segments of Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

We manage our Company for sustainable performance defined by our long-term annual growth targets. These targets are low single-digit (13 to 3%)4% for internal net sales, mid single-digit (4 to 6%) for internal operating profit, and high single-digit (7 to 9%) for net earnings per share on a currency neutralcurrency-neutral basis. Internal net sales and internal operating profit exclude the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions, dispositions and shipping day differences. See the “Foreign currency translation” section for an explanation of management’s definition of currency neutral.

For the quarter ended OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, our reported net sales decreased 4% compared to the same period last year; internal net sales decreased 2%increased 5%. Consolidated operating profit decreased 5%10%, while internal operating profit decreased 3%.12%, compared to internal growth of 17% in the prior period. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) declined 4%8% to $0.90,$1.00, compared to $0.94$1.09 in the comparable prior period.year quarter. EPS on a currency neutralcurrency-neutral basis was down 2%10%.

On a year-to-date basis, Our performance was ahead of our reported net sales were down 1%, with internal net sales down 2%. Consolidated operating profit increased 1% on a reported basis and 1% on an internal basis. Diluted EPS was up 3%, at $2.78, compared to $2.70 in the prior year. EPS on a currency neutral basis was up 4%.

We have lowered our guidanceexpectations for the full year to reflect weaker performancequarter. We had strong top-line growth and invested in some ofbrand building and in our core cereal markets, continued competitive intensity and the impact of the voluntary cereal recall in the U.S. which is discussed further in the “Voluntary product recall” section. supply chain.

For the full year 2011, we now expect our internal net sales to be downincrease by approximately 1%4%, at the high end of our previous guidance of 3 to 4%. InternalThis increase offsets our expectations of higher input costs. We are on track to meet our internal operating profit is expected to be approximately flat compared to the prior year and currency neutral earnings per share is expected to grow 4 to 5%.

Our consolidated net sales were down 4% reflecting weaknessgrew by 5%. The strong net sales growth during the quarter was due to increased volumes resulting from our recently launched innovations and our investment in our core cereal markets, competitive pressures,brand building, and thefavorable pricing/mix. Foreign exchange provided a favorable impact of the second quarter 2010 voluntary recall of select packages of breakfast cereals. Reported net sales was positively impacted by currency, resulting in an internal net sales decline ofalmost 2%.

Consumer consumption impacts purchases by retailers, whoJanuary, performed very well. We are excited about our primary customers. Our consumption was negatively impacted by the ongoing effect of the voluntary cereal recall that occurred in the second quarter of 2010. The brands involved in the recall, our kids’ brands, were the cornerstone of our back-to-school promotions in the third quarter. While we tried to re-work our promotional plans, our competitors were more aggressive than we expected and benefited from our supply issues resulting from the recall.

The growth was driven by higher sales in Latin America and Asia Pacific, which offset Europe’s 1% decline. The U.K. continued to the prior year.

In addition, we lapped a strong first quarter 2010 performance with internal operating profit growth of lower incentive compensation expense, resulting in an overall decline in operating profit. Incentive compensation is based upon the Company’s actual results compared to our targets. Given results are lower than expected, incentive compensation decreased in the third quarter, including a year-to-date adjustment.17%.

Internal operating profit in North America decreased by 3%, Europe’s grew by 2%, Latin America’s declined by 18%12% against an increase of 22% in the prior year. Higher input costs and increased brand building to support our innovation launches were the main drivers. Europe’s internal operating profit declined by 9%, impacted by the difficult operating environment in the U.K. In Latin America, despite 10% net sales growth, internal operating profit increased by only 1% due to increased cost pressures. Asia Pacific’s internal operating profit declined by 17%23%, lapping last year’s growth of 10%. North America’sAustralia drove the decline in operating profit, was negatively impacted by increased promotional activitydue to the lapping of higher retail inventory growth in the cereal category, the ongoing impactfirst quarter of the second quarter 2010 voluntary recall as well as a slower than anticipated rebound in our waffle business. In addition, higher supply chain costs and increased advertising contributed to the decline. This was partially offset by lower up-front costs and lower incentive compensation expense. Europe’s increase in internal operating profit was attributable to supply chain efficiencies, lower up-front costs and a decrease in incentive compensation expense. Latin America’s decline was due primarily to increased commodity costs, incremental operating and distribution costs in Mexico as well as overhead inflation and a modest increase in advertising. Asia Pacific’s decline was due to increased investments in advertising and promotion. Corporate benefited from lower incentive compensation expense.

The following tables provide analysis of our net sales to operating performance for the year-to-date periods of 2010 compared to 2009. Our weak top-line growth in the second and third quarter of 2010 has more than offset our first quarter increase, resulting in a decrease in year-to-date internal net sales of 1%. Internal operating profit is up 1% compared to the prior year due to lower up-front costs and reduced incentive compensation expense which more than offset the softness in the business.

We have increased price, but those increases lagged input inflation. The full impact of our price increases will be recognized as we progress into the second quarter.

Foreign currency translation

The reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. Certain of our assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily in the Euro,euro, British pound, Mexican peso, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against these other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency. This could have a significant impact on our results if such increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar is substantial.

Volatility in the foreign exchange markets has limited our ability to forecast future U.S. dollar reported earnings. As such, we are measuring diluted earnings per share growth and providing guidance on future earnings on a currency neutral basis, assuming earnings are translated at the prior year’s exchange rates. This non-GAAP financial measure is being used to focus management and investors on local currency business results, thereby providing visibility to the underlying trends of the Company. Management believes that excluding the impact of foreign currency from EPS provides a useful measurement of comparability given the volatility in foreign exchange markets.

Voluntary product recall

On June 25, 2010, we announced a voluntary recall of select packages of Kellogg’s cereal in the U.S. due to an odor from waxy resins found in the package liner. Estimated customer returns and consumer rebates were recorded as a reduction of net sales; costs associated with returned product and the disposal and write-off of inventory were recorded as cost of goods sold (COGS); and other recall costs were recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses. During the quarter, we refined the estimated costs of the recall, which resulted in a reduction of $1 million, for a year-to-date expense through October 2, 2010 of $47 million, or $.09 per share on a diluted basis. In addition to the costs of the voluntary recall, we also lost sales of the impacted products in the second and third quarters of 2010.

Other costCost reduction initiatives

We view our continued spending on cost reduction initiatives as part of our ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving our long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Each cost reduction initiative is normally up to three years in duration. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation. Certain of these initiatives represent exit or disposal plans for which material charges will be incurred. See further discussion in Note 3. We include these charges in our measure of operating segment profitability. In 2009, we announced our intention to achieve $1 billion plus of annual cost savings in three years (beginning in 2012). These initiatives are integral to meeting our $1 billion plus savings challenge.

20102011 activities

We incurred costs related to our cost reduction initiatives which do not qualify as exit costs under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. These represent cash costs for consulting and other charges for our cost of goods sold COGS and selling, general and administrative (SGA)SGA programs.

SAP reimplementation

We are reimplementing SAP which will result in process and productivity improvements. The program is expected to require an investmentapproximately $70 million of approximately $150 million, the majority of which is capital related. Inincremental expense, including consulting, in addition to internal resources, we are incurring incremental consulting costs associated with thecapital investments. The reimplementation which will take effect from 2011 through 2013.begin in 2011.

In the thirdfirst quarter of 2010,2011, we incurred approximately $2 million of consulting costs associated with this program in our North America operating segment. To date, we have incurred $11 million in program costs. These costs impacted our operating segments as follows (in millions): North America-$10; and Latin America-$1. The additional cost and cash outlay in 2011 through 2014 for a yearthis program is expected to date total of $6be approximately $60 million.

Prior year activities

During the thirdfirst quarter of OctoberApril 3, 2009,2010, we incurred $15$10 million of consulting and other costs in connection with our COGS and SGA programs. Costs were recorded in the following operating segments forduring the quarter and year-to-date period ended OctoberApril 3, 2009.2010.

Interest expense

For the quarter and year-to-date period ended OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, interest expense was $62$67 million, and $188 million, respectively, as compared to the quarter and year-to-date period ended OctoberApril 3, 20092010 with interest expense of $65 million and $199 million, respectively.million.

For the full year 2010,2011, we expect gross interest expense to be approximately $250$235 to $245 million, compared to 2009’s2010’s full year amount of $295$248 million. The forecasted decline is driven primarily by costs of the bond tender executed in 2009.

Income taxes

The consolidated effective income tax rate was 30%28% for the quarter ended OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, as compared to 27% for the comparable quarter of 2009.

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows supplemented by borrowings for major acquisitions and other significant transactions. Our cash-generating capability is one of our fundamental strengths and provides us with substantial financial flexibility in meeting operating and investing needs.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows:

Operating activities

The principal source of our operating cash flow is net earnings, meaning cash receipts from the sale of our products, net of costs to manufacture and market our products.

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the first quarter of 2011 amounted to $310 million, an increase of $60 million compared with the first quarter of 2010, with the increase primarily attributable to lower incentive compensation payments during first quarter 2011 and the receipt of an income tax refund related to 2010 pension and postretirement plan contributions. The impact of higher pension and postretirement plan contributions in 2011 compared with first quarter 2010 partially offset the increase in operating cash flows during the period.

Our cash conversion cycle (defined as days of inventory and trade receivables outstanding less days of trade payables outstanding, based on a trailing 12 month average) wasis relatively short, equating to approximately 22 days duringand 23 days for the 12 month periods ended OctoberApril 2, 2011 and April 3, 2010, and October 3, 2009. Duringrespectively. Compared with the 12 month period ended October 2,April 3, 2010, the unfavorable impact on the 2011 cash conversion cycle resulting from higher days of inventory outstanding was more than offset by an increase in days of trade payables outstanding.

(a)Inventory and trade receivables less trade payables.

Lower operating cash flow in 2010 was the result of an unfavorable year-over-year variance in other working capital, which more than offset a favorable variance relating to core working capital.

The unfavorable variance in other working capital in 2010 primarily reflected lower salary and wage accruals due to the decrease in incentive compensation and higher payments for advertising. An increase in cash paid for the settlement of hedge contracts in 2010 versus the prior year period was also a factor.

Cash flows associated with core working capital in 2010 were favorable compared with the same period in 2009, largely the result of improvements in trade payables and receivables. We continue to manage core working capital by focusing on the timely collection of trade receivables, extending terms on accounts payable and careful monitoring of inventory.

Our pension and other postretirement benefit plan contributions amounted to $45$178 million and $93$22 million for the year-to-date periods ended OctoberApril 2, 20102011 and OctoberApril 3, 2009,2010, respectively. For full year 2010,2011, we currently expect that our contributioncontributions to pension and other postretirement plans will total approximately $615 million, including a voluntary contribution of $500 million, net of tax.$200 million. Plan funding strategies may be modified in response to our evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions and competing investment alternatives.

We measure cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions. We use this non-GAAP financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment, dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities, and share repurchases. Our cash flow metric is reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

Investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities for 2010 year-to-dateduring the year to date period ended 2011 amounted to $250$99 million, on paran increase of $40 million compared with cash used of $251 million for the same period in 2009.2010. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher level of capital expenditures in 2011.

For fiscal year 2010,full-year 2011, we project that capital spending will totalof approximately $470 million. This reflects investment4% of net sales. In addition to continuing to invest in our supply chain and information technology infrastructure, as we reinstallhave increased investment in capacity to support growth and upgrade our SAP platform as well as investments in our supply chain.innovation.

For fiscal year 2011, we expect capital spending to be 4% of net sales, which is at the high end of our range of 3 to 4 percent of net sales.

Financing activities

Our net cash used in financing activities for the year-to-date period ended OctoberApril 2, 20102011 amounted to $611$266 million compared with $724$134 million for the comparable period in 2009.2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in repurchases of common stock.

During the year-to-date period ended Octoberrepurchase approximately 3 2009, we repurchased approximately 4 million shares of our common stock for a total of $187 million.

On April 23, 2010, our board of directors authorized a $2.5 billion, three-year share repurchase program for 2010 through 2012. ThisAs of April 2, 2011, total purchases under the repurchase authorization replacedamounted to 27 million shares totaling $1.4 billion.

During 2011 and 2012, we plan to execute the remaining repurchases under the 2010 authorization. We project total purchases of $800 million in 2011, which includes the $324 million executed in first quarter 2011, with the balance in 2012. Actual repurchases could be different from our current projections, as influenced by factors such as the impact of changes in our stock price and other competing priorities.

In October 2010,February 2011, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.405 per common share, payable on DecemberMarch 15, 20102011 to shareholders of record at close of business on DecemberMarch 1, 2010.2011. In April 2011, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.405 per common share, payable June 15, 2011 to shareholders of record at close of business on June 1, 2011. We also announced that the board plans to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.43 per share beginning with the third quarter of 2011. This increase is consistent with our current plan to maintain our dividend pay-out ratio between 40% and 50% of reported net income.

In March 2011, we entered into an unsecured Four-Year Credit Agreement to replace our existing unsecured Five-Year Credit Agreement, which would have expired in November 2011. The Four-Year Credit Agreement allows us to borrow, on a revolving credit basis, up to $2.0 billion, although we do not plan to use it. (See Note 5 within Notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Four-Year Credit Agreement.)

We are in compliance with all debt covenants. We continue to believe that we will be able to meet our interest and principal repayment obligations and maintain our debt covenants for the foreseeable future.

We plan to refinance our $946 million of debt maturing in March 2011 prior to its maturity. We expect our access to public debt and commercial paper markets, along with operating cash flows, towill be adequate to meet future operating, investing and financing needs, including the pursuit of selected bolt-on acquisitions.

There can be no assurance that volatility and/or disruption in the global capital and credit markets will not impair our ability to access these markets on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Company is exposed to certain market risks, which exist as a part of our ongoing business operations. We use derivative financial and commodity instruments, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Refer to Note 89 within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative financial and commodity instruments.

Refer to disclosures contained on pages 24-2625-26 of our 20092010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than changes noted here, there have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk as of OctoberApril 2, 2010.2011.

During the quarter ended April 2, 2011, we entered into additional interest rate swaps in connection with certain U.S. Dollar Notes. The total notional amount of commodity derivative instrumentsinterest rate swaps at OctoberApril 2, 20102011 was $207 million,$3.1 billion, representing a settlement obligationreceivable of $38$63 million. The total notional amount of commodity derivative instrumentsinterest rate swaps at January 2, 20101, 2011 was $213 million, representing a settlement obligation of $16 million. Assuming an unfavorable 10% change in period-end commodity prices, the settlement obligation would have increased by $16 million and $18 million as of October 2, 2010 and January 2, 2010, respectively. Those unfavorable changes would generally have been offset by a reduction in the cost of the underlying commodity purchases.

The total notional amount of foreign currency derivative instruments at October 2, 2010 was $1,206 million,$1.9 billion, representing a settlement receivable of $21$74 million. Assuming an unfavorable 10% change in period-end exchange rates, the settlement receivable would have decreased by $121 million, generally offset by favorable changes in the values of the underlying exposures. The total notional amount of foreign currency derivative instruments at January 2, 2010 was $1,588 million, representing a settlement obligation of $24 million. Assuming an unfavorable 10% change in period-end exchange rates, the settlement obligation would have increased by $159 million, generally offset by favorable changes in the values of the underlying exposures.

Venezuela was designated as a highly inflationary economy as of the beginning of our 2010 fiscal year. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are recorded in earnings. As of the end of our 2009 fiscal year, we used the parallel rate to translate our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars. In May 2010, the Venezuelan government effectively eliminated the parallel market. In June, several large Venezuelan commercial banks began operating the Transaction System for Foreign Currency Denominated Securities (SITME). We intend to use SITME to settle non-functional currency denominated assets and liabilities. Accordingly, we are using the SITME rate at October 2, 2010 to translate our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded an $8 million foreign exchange gain in other income (expense), net, associated with the translation of our subsidiary’s financials into U.S. dollars. On a year-to-date basis we recorded a $4 million foreign exchange gain in other income (expense), net. On a consolidated basis, Venezuela represents only 1% to 2% of our business; therefore, any ongoing impact is expected to be immaterial.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of OctoberApril 2, 2010,2011, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

During the last fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On April 23, 2010, ourthe board of directors authorized a $2.5 billion three-year share repurchase program for 2010 through 2012. This authorization replaced the previous share buyback program which authorized stock repurchases of up to $1,113 million for 2010. During the year-to-date period ended October 2, 2010, we repurchased 18 million shares of our common stock for a total of $907 million. The 2010 repurchase activity falls under the program approved in April 2010.
