1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting | ||
The Kellogg Company Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) operates as a qualified defined contribution plan and was established under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Expenses of administration are paid by the Plan. | ||
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. The Plan adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 as of the beginning of its 2008 Plan year. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on the measurement of the Plans assets and liabilities but did result in additional disclosures contained in Note 6 herein. | ||
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | ||
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 for discussion of fair value measurements. | ||
The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the Plans interest in income of the Master Trust, which consists primarily of the realized gains or losses on the fair value of the Master Trust investments and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. | ||
Investment Contracts with Insurance Companies | ||
During the Plan years 2008 and 2007, the Plan entered into benefit-responsive investment contracts for which Dwight Asset Management has oversight. Dwight Asset Management maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan. | ||
From August 26, 1998 to August 6, 2007, the Plan entered into benefit-responsive investment contracts for which INVESCO had oversight. INVESCO maintained the contributions in a general account. The account was credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed investment contract issuer was contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that was guaranteed to the Plan. | ||
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets |
4
Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. | ||
Because the guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by Dwight Asset Management and INVESCO, represented contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. | ||
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuers, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a monthly basis for resetting. | ||
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) bankruptcy of the plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the plan, or (3) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plans ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable. | ||
The guaranteed investment contracts do not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date. |

Allocation of Net Investment Income to Participants | ||
Net investment income is allocated to participant accounts daily, in proportion to their respective ownership on that day. | ||
Risks and Uncertainties | ||
The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible the changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. |
5
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plans management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
2. | Provisions of the Plan | |
The following description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plans provisions. | ||
Plan Administration | ||
The Plan is administered by the ERISA Finance Committee and the ERISA Administrative Committee appointed by Kellogg Company. | ||
Redemption Fees | ||
The Plan charges a 2 percent redemption fee for transfers and/or reallocations of units that have been in a fund for less than five business days. Fees collected are used to help offset trustee expenses. | ||
Plan Participation and Contributions | ||
Generally, all salaried employees and non-union hourly employees of Kellogg Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, and certain union hourly employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement are eligible to participate in the Plan. | ||
Subject to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, participants may elect to contribute from 1 percent to 50 percent of their annual wages. Participants were eligible to defer $15,500 in 2008 and $15,500 in 2007. Contributions made by salaried and non-union hourly employees are matched by Kellogg Company at a 100 percent rate on the first 3 percent and a 50 percent rate on the next 2 percent with 12.5 percent of the Company match restricted for investment in the Kellogg Company stock fund. Union hourly employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement may have a different or no company match. Please refer to the Plan document for additional information. Employees may contribute to the Plan from their date of hire; however, if applicable contributions are not matched by the Company until the participant has completed one year of service. | ||
Employer matching contributions held in the Kellogg Company Stock Fund can be transferred by a participant at any time to any other investment fund then available under the Plan. | ||
Participants of the Plan may elect to invest the contributions to their accounts as well as their account balances in various equity, bond, fixed income or Kellogg Company stock funds or a combination thereof in multiples of one percent. |
6
Vesting | ||
Participant account balances are fully vested. | ||
Participant Loans | ||
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Participants may have only one loan outstanding at any time. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the Loan fund and the other funds. Loan terms range from 12 to 60 months, except for principal residence loans, which must be repaid within 15 years (or 180 months). Interest is paid at a constant rate equal to one percent over the prime rate in the month the loan begins. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans that are considered to be uncollectible at year end result in the outstanding principal being considered a hardship withdrawal from the participants plan account. | ||
Participant Distributions | ||
Participants may request an in-service withdrawal of all or a portion of certain types of contributions under standard in-service withdrawal rules. The withdrawal of any participant contributions which were not previously subject to income tax is restricted by Internal Revenue Service regulations. | ||
Participants who terminate employment before retirement, by reasons other than death or disability, may remain in the Plan or receive payment of their account balances in a lump sum. If the account balance is $1,000 or less, the terminated participant will receive the account balance in a lump sum. | ||
Participants are eligible to retire from the Company at age 62, upon reaching 55 with 20 years of service, or after 30 years of service. Upon retirement, disability, or death, a participants account balance may be received in a lump sum or installment payments. | ||
Termination | ||
While the Company has expressed no intentions to do so, the Plan may be terminated at any time. | ||
3. | Income Tax Status | |
The Plan administrator has received a favorable letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 18, 2004 regarding the Plans qualification under applicable income tax regulations. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||
4. | Related Party Transactions | |
Certain investments held in the Master Trust are shares of Kellogg Company common stock and short term investment funds managed by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. Kellogg Company is the Plan sponsor, and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. |

6. | Fair Value Measurements | |
SFAS No. 157 establishes 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. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below: |
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |||
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: | |||
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets; |
8
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or
liabilities in inactive markets; |
||||
inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability; and |
||||
inputs that are derived principally from or
corroborated by observable market data by correlation or
other means. |
||||
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||||
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The asset or liabilitys fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | ||
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value: |
| Money market funds: Valued using amortized cost, which approximate fair value. | ||
| Common stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. | ||
| Mutual funds: Valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the plan at year end. | ||
| Participant loans: Valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. | ||
| Guaranteed investment contracts: Value at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations considering the credit-worthiness of the issuer (See note 1). The fair value of each synthetic GIC contract is calculated based on the fair value of the investments underlying the contract. The fair value of each synthetic GIC wrapper is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying assets and the fair value of the current annual fee multiplied by the notional dollar amount of the contract. | ||
| Commingled funds: Valued based on information reported by the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the funds at year end. |
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. |
