1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting The Kellogg Company Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers 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 sponsor, Kellogg Company. |
||
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.

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 trustees appointed by Kellogg Company and employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union, 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 Contribution Generally, all Kellogg Company hourly employees belonging to the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union Local Nos. 3-G, 50-G, 252-G, 374-G and 401-G 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. Employee contributions 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. Employees may contribute to the Plan from their date of hire; however, the monthly 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. |

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 |
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. |
