REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Administrative Committee of and Participants in the
UPS Savings Plan
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the UPS Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2012, and (2) reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 2012, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2012 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

UPS SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN |
General - The UPS Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is a voluntary defined contribution plan established for employees of United Parcel Service of America, Inc. ("UPS") who are not members of a collective bargaining unit and who satisfy the participation requirements of the Plan, which are described below. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, as amended. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
The Plan became effective July 1, 1988, and has been amended periodically. The Plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the 2012 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) yearly limit of $17,000, on a pretax and/or Roth basis under the rules of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and also allows for contributions on an after‑tax basis, subject to IRS yearly contribution limits, as discussed below.
Transfers from Plan - During one-time transfer opportunities in 2011, three groups of eligible employees transferred their assets held in the Plan to another eligible plan:
• | Nearly 800 UPS Freight employees elected to transfer their assets held in the Plan to the Teamsters/UPS National 401(k) Tax Deferred Savings Plan. The asset transfer took place on August 1, 2011 and totaled approximately $37.7 million. |
• | Nearly 100 International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“I.A.M.”) employees elected to transfer their assets held in the Plan to the I.A.M. National 401(k) Savings Plan. The asset transfer took place on September 26, 2011 and totaled approximately $3.8 million. |
• | 62 Flight Dispatchers elected to transfer their assets held in the Plan to the UPS Flight Dispatchers 401(k) Savings Plan. The asset transfer took place on January 7, 2011 and totaled approximately $1.8 million. |
Additionally, transfers out of the Plan may occur as individuals withdraw from the Plan and remove assets from their respective brokerage accounts.
Employer Contributions - Effective January 1, 2011, UPS reinstated employer-matching contributions to the Plan. Employer contributions were $100.841 and $55.662 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Contributions and Vesting - Eligible employees may participate in the Plan immediately upon hire. The provisions of the Plan provide that a participant's entire account is 100% vested at all times. Participants may make voluntary contributions in one of three ways: pretax, after tax, or to the Roth 401(k) feature. Limits to these contributions are as follows:
• | Participants may elect to contribute up to 35% of their eligible compensation on a pretax basis or as a Roth 401(k), or any combination of the two, to the Plan. |
• | Participants may defer up to 100% on a pretax basis or to the Roth 401(k), or any combination of the two, of a Management Incentive Program (MIP) cash award / discretionary day pay. MIP is part of the UPS Incentive Compensation Plan and participants are determined annually by the Compensation Committee of the UPS Board of Directors. |
• | Participants may contribute an additional 5% after tax of their eligible compensation to the Plan. |
• | Participants age 50 and older or who will turn 50 during the Plan year are allowed to make pre-tax or Roth 401(k) catch-up contributions, up to an additional 10% of their eligible compensation subject to a maximum of $5,500 for 2012. The maximum catch-up contribution may be indexed each year for inflation. |
- 4 -
Participants can contribute to the Plan an amount consisting of an eligible rollover distribution or transfer from a conduit individual retirement account. Rollover contributions are at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable. Participants may not roll over participant loans to Plan account balances from other qualified retirement plans, annuity contracts, or individual retirement accounts.
Investments - Participants may choose from various investment options including UPS Class A common stock, short-term investments and common and collective trust funds. Within the self‑managed account, participants can purchase mutual funds and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information concerning the Plan's investment options.
Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and an allocation of Plan earnings and charged with withdrawals and allocations of Plan losses and administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings (losses) or account balances, as defined.
Payment of Benefits - The Plan does not permit withdrawals or distributions except in the case of hardship, at attainment of age 59 1/2, termination of employment, or upon the death or total and permanent disability of the participant. In order to qualify for a hardship withdrawal, the participant must satisfy the legal requirements of a financial hardship as defined by IRC regulations. There are no penalties on approved withdrawals or distributions as stated above. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information concerning the Plan's benefit payment options.
Notes Receivable from Participants - The Plan provides for loans in cases of hardship or residential loans only. Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balances (across all UPS-sponsored plans in which they participate). Loan terms shall not exceed five years on general loans and fifteen years on residential loans. Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.00% to 10.50% as of December 31, 2012. The loans are collateralized by the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to one percentage point above the prime rate on the last business day of the month prior to the month in which the participant makes application for the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.
Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UPS has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination, the trustee has been instructed to maintain separate Plan accounts for each participant to accumulate earnings until the final terminating distribution.
Plan Administration - ING provides recordkeeping and administrative services to the Plan. State Street Global Services serves as the trustee for all assets of the Plan, with the exception of the UPS Stock Fund. BNY Mellon is the trustee for Class A shares of UPS Stock in the UPS Stock Fund.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including short-term investments, common and collective trust funds, registered investment companies, and certain individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
- 5 -
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are 100% participant directed and stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted market prices are used to value all readily available marketable securities. The value of each share of Class A common stock held by the Plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011, is equal to the price of a share of Class B common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. Investments in common and collective trust funds are valued based upon the redemption price of units held by the Plan, which is based on the current fair value of the common and collective trust funds underlying assets. Unit values are determined by the financial institution sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. The Plan holds the right to liquidate its positions in these common and collective trust funds at any time, subject to a reasonable notification period. No unfunded commitment existed with respect to these common and collective trust funds at December 31, 2012.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as, held during the year.
The Plan also offers a self-managed account option. Within the self-managed account, participants can purchase registered investment companies and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. These investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices.
Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and UPS as provided in the Plan document. UPS provides certain accounting and other administrative services to the Plan free of charge. Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. Administrative fees for 2012 and 2011 were as follows (in thousands):
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Investment advisory and management fees | $ | 1,300 | $ | 1,488 | ||||
Plan administrator fees | 3,171 | 3,108 | ||||||
Total administrative expenses | $ | 4,471 | $ | 4,596 |
Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.
Excess Contributions Payable - The Plan is required to return contributions to participants in the event certain non‑discrimination tests defined under the IRC are not satisfied. For both 2012 and 2011, the Plan passed the non-discrimination tests and the Plan was therefore not required to refund contributions to any Plan participants.
New Accounting Standards - ASU No. 2011-04 - The financial statements reflect the prospective adoption of FASB ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which amends ASC 820, as of the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2012. ASU 2011-04 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and expands certain disclosures about fair value measurement. The ASU requires the categorization by level for items that are only required to be disclosed at fair value and information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. It provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and discounts on fair value measurements. The ASU requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The effect of the adoption of ASU 2011-04 had no impact on the Plan's statement of net assets available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

3. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1, which refers to securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
Units of the collective trust funds are valued at the net asset value of its underlying investments. There are no unfunded commitments for these funds, the redemption frequency is immediate and there are no other redemption restrictions.
We evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for benefits. For the years ended, December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no transfers between levels.

5. | FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS |
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed UPS by a letter dated August 26, 2002, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the IRC. The Company filed a determination letter application on January 29, 2010 in line with the Determination Letter staggered cycle; however, UPS and the Plan administrator believe that the Plan is currently designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, there are no positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Plan is undergoing routine audit procedures by the IRS for the 2008 and 2009 Plan years.

Certain Plan investments are managed by State Street Global Advisors (“State Street”) or the BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (“BlackRock”).

Fees paid by the Plan for recordkeeping and trustee fees were $3.171 and $2.269 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were $1.300 and $1.227 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
UPS is the Plan sponsor and all transactions in its common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Plan held 14,208,183 and 13,708,768 shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1.048 and $1.003 billion and a cost basis of $842.853 and $810.424 million, respectively.
