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 food products on a worldwide basis. The address of the principal business office of Kellogg Company is One Kellogg Square, P.O. Box 3599, Battle Creek, Michigan 49016-3599. Unless otherwise 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 pages 33 and 34 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      Principal Products. The principal products of the Company are ready-to-eat cereals and convenience food products which are manufactured in 20 countries and distributed in more than 160 countries. The Company’s products are generally marketed under the KELLOGG’S® and MORNINGSTAR FARMS® names 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 as well as in less-developed market areas. Additional information pertaining to the relative sales of ready-to-eat cereals and the Company’s convenience food products is found in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 33 and 34 of the Company’s Annual Report.

      Convenience Food Products. In the United States, in addition to ready-to-eat cereals, the Company produces and distributes toaster pastries, frozen waffles, frozen pancakes, crispy marshmallow squares, cereal bars, and meat alternatives. The Company also markets these and other convenience food products in various locations throughout the world, including Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Australia.

      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 and materials are constantly monitored, as are government trade policies. The cost of raw materials may fluctuate widely due to government policy and regulation, weather conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances. Continuous efforts are made to maintain and improve the qualities and supplies of raw materials 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, soy beans, various fruits, sweeteners, wheat, and wheat derivatives. Ingredients are purchased principally from sources in the United States. In producing toaster pastries, frozen waffles, and cereal bars, the Company may use flour, shortening, sweeteners, dairy products, eggs, fruit, and other filling ingredients, which ingredients are obtained from various sources.

      The Company both enters into long-term contracts for raw materials and purchases raw materials 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 raw materials may increase over time, the Company believes that it will be able to purchase an adequate supply of such raw materials as needed. The Company also uses commodity futures and options to hedge some of its raw material costs. Refer to Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on pages 32 and 33.

      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 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. Additionally, oil may be used to fuel certain operations at various plants in the event of natural gas shortages or when its use presents economic advantages.

      Trademarks and Technology. Generally, the Company’s products are marketed under trademarks owned by the Company. The Company’s principal trademarks are its housemark, brand names, slogans, and designs

2

related to cereals and other convenience food products manufactured and marketed by the Company as well as licensed uses of these marks on various goods. These trademarks include Kellogg’s®, for cereals and other products of the Company and the brand names of certain ready-to-eat cereals, including All-Bran®, Kellogg’s Squares™, Apple Jacks®, Bran Buds®, Complete® Bran Flakes, Complete® Wheat Flakes, Cocoa Krispies®, Common Sense®, Country Inn Specialties™, Cruncheroos®, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes®, Cracklin’ Oat Bran®, Crispix®, Froot Loops®, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes®, Frosted Mini-Wheats®, Just Right®, Kellogg’s® Low Fat Granola, Nut & Honey Crunch®, Nut & Honey Crunch O’s™, Muesli®, Nutri-Grain®, Corn Pops®, Product 19®, Kellogg’s® Two Scoops® Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies®, Rice Krispies Treats®, Raisin Bran Crunch™, Smacks®, Smart Start®, Special K®, Special K Plus™, Kellogg’s Cocoa Frosted Flakes™, Razzle Dazzle Rice Krispies™, and Kellogg’s® Honey Crunch Corn Flakes™. Additional Company trademarks are the names of certain combinations of Kellogg’s® ready-to-eat cereals, including Breakfast Mates™, Handi-Pak®, Snack-Pak®, Fun Pak®, Jumbo® and Variety® Pak. Other Company brand names include Kellogg’s® Corn Flake Crumbs; Croutettes® for herb season stuffing mix; Kellogg’s® Nutri-Grain® for cereal bars; Pop-Tarts Pastry Swirls™ for toaster danish; Pop-Tarts® for toaster pastries; Eggo®, Special K® and Nutri-Grain® for frozen waffles and pancakes; Rice Krispies Treats™ for crispy marshmallow squares; and Morningstar Farms®, Loma Linda®, Natural Touch® and Worthington® for certain meat alternatives.

      Company trademarks also include depictions of certain animated characters in conjunction with the Company’s products, including Snap!®Crackle!®Pop!® for Kellogg’s® Razzle Dazzle Rice Krispies™ and Rice Krispies®; Tony the Tiger™ for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes® and Kellogg’s Cocoa Frosted Flakes™; Toucan Sam® for Froot Loops®; Dig ’Em!® for Smacks®; Coco™for Cocoa Krispies®; and Cornelius® and Corny™ for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes®.

      The slogans “The Best To You Each Morning”®, “The Original and Best®”, and “They’re Gr-r-reat!”® 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, are also important Company trademarks. The Company’s use of the advertising themes “Better Breakfast”™, “Get A Taste For The Healthy Life”™, and “Cereal...Eat It For Life”™ represent part of its effort to establish throughout the United States and the world the concept of a nutritious breakfast.

      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 are not material.

      Seasonality. Demand for the Company’s products is approximately level throughout the year.

      Working Capital. Although terms vary around the world, in the United States the Company generally requires payment for goods sold eleven days subsequent to the date of invoice, with a 2% 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. The Company is not dependent on any single customer or a few customers for a material part of its sales. However, in the United States, the Company’s top four customers account for over 20% of 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 due to the consumer demand for our products and our relationships with our customers. Products of the Company are sold through its own sales forces and through broker and distributor arrangements and are 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 any particular time is not material to the Company.

3

      Competition. The Company has experienced intense competition for sales of all of its principal products in its major markets, 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 $104.1 million in 1999, $121.9 million in 1998, and $106.1 million in 1997.

      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 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, 1999, the Company had 15,051 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 pages 33 and 34 of the Company’s Annual Report.

Item 2.  Properties

      The Company’s corporate headquarters and principal research and development facilities are located in Battle Creek, Michigan.

      The Company operates manufacturing plants and warehouses totaling more than twelve million (12,000,000) 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; Atlanta, Georgia; Rome, Georgia; Pikeville, Kentucky; Blue Anchor, New Jersey; Worthington, Ohio; Zanesville, Ohio; Muncy, Pennsylvania; and Rossville, Tennessee.

      Outside the United States, the Company has additional manufacturing locations, some with warehousing facilities, in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Great Britain, Guatemala, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, and Venezuela.

      The principal properties of the Company, including its major office facilities, are owned by the Company and none is subject to any major lien or other encumbrance. Distribution centers and offices of non-plant locations typically are leased. The Company considers its facilities generally suitable, adequate, and of sufficient capacity for its current operations.
