The
Benefit Plans Committee
ADM
401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees
We
have
audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of
the
ADM 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees as of
December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 the 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. We were not engaged to perform
an
audit of the Plan’s 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, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December
31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits
for
the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our
audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2006, is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements
but
is 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

1.
Description of the Plan
General
The
ADM
401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan)
is a
defined contribution plan available to all eligible salaried employees of
Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM or the Company). The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974
(ERISA). Participants should refer to the plan document and the
prospectus for a more complete description of the Plan’s
provisions.
Employees
are eligible to enroll in the Plan on the first day of employment with a
participating employer. Employees are eligible to receive Company
matching contributions after completing six months of continuous employment
with
a participating employer. At least 1,000 hours and one year of
continuous service are required for part-time, temporary, or seasonal employees
to be eligible for participation in the Plan.
During
2006, the Plan was amended and restated to reflect the addition of an after-tax
Roth 401(k) investment option.
Arrangement With Related Party
All
plan
assets are held by Hickory Point Bank & Trust, FSB, a wholly owned
subsidiary of ADM, through a master trust agreement (the Master Trust)
established for the Plan and the ADM 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
for Hourly Employees.

Description of the Plan (continued)
Contributions
Under
the
terms of the Plan, employees electing to participate can contribute from 1%
up
to as much as 50% of their compensation to the Plan, subject to certain
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limitations. Participants age 50 or
older can make additional “catch-up” contributions, up to the limits allowed
under the tax law.
The
Company matches participant contributions made to the Plan by contributing
ADM
common stock. The Company matches 100% of the first 4% of
compensation contributed and 50% of the next 2% of compensation
contributed. Both participant and Company contributions immediately
vest to the participant.
Investment
Options
Participants
may invest their contributions in one or more of the investment funds offered
by
the Plan and in ADM common stock.
Participants
can elect at any time to convert all or any number of the shares of ADM common
stock acquired through participant and Company matching contributions to cash
and have the cash transferred to the Plan to be invested in the investment
options available under the Plan.
Participant
Accounts
Each
participant’s account contains the participant’s respective contributions, the
Company’s matching contributions, and investment earnings. The
benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participant’s account.

Description of the Plan (continued)
Participant
Loans
Eligible
participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to
the
lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their participant account balance. A
maximum of one loan may be outstanding to a participant at any
time.
Loans
are
allowed only for purposes of educational or medical expenses, the purchase
of a
primary residence and catastrophic events, as determined by the
IRS. Educational or medical expense loans are available for up to
five years, home purchase loans are available for up to ten years, and
catastrophic event loans have a specified payback period.
The
loans
are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a
rate equal to the prime rate plus 1% at time of issuance. Principal
and interest are repaid ratably through payroll deductions, with payments taken
from each paycheck.
Withdrawal
The
full
value of an employee’s account is payable following termination of
employment. Withdrawals by active employees are permitted upon
reaching age 59 1/2 or for specific hardship circumstances (only after
receiving a loan available to the participant under the loan
program).
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Accounting
The
accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.
Investment
Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments
in the Master Trust are carried at fair value. Common stocks are
valued at the quoted market price on the last business day of the plan
year. Investments in mutual funds are stated at the reported net
asset value on the last business day of the plan year. Unallocated
funds are invested in a short-term money market account. Participant
loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on
the shareholder record date as declared by the related
investment.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Plan
Expenses
Brokerage
commissions, transfer taxes, and other charges and expenses in connection with
the purchase or sale of securities are charged against the trust fund and added
to the cost of such securities or deducted from the sale proceeds, as the case
may be. Participants are also charged loan fees and check processing
fees in certain circumstances. Any remaining costs of administering
the Plan are currently paid by the Plan’s sponsor, ADM. While it is
anticipated ADM will continue to pay these costs, the Plan does permit the
reasonable expenses of administering the Plan to be paid from the trust
fund.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3.
Master Trust Investment Information
The
Plan’s investments are held in the Master Trust. Investments and the
income therefrom are allocated to participating plans based on each plan’s
participation in investment options within the Master Trust. At
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master
Trust was approximately 77%.

Plan Termination
Although
it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to
discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject
to
the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination,
participants remain 100% vested in their accounts.

6.
Income Tax Status
The
Plan
received a determination letter from the IRS, dated October 1, 2004, stating
the
Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code),
and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent
to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan
is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code
and, therefore, believes the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related
trust is exempt from taxation.
7.
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Plan
invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are
exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit
risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could
materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the
statements of net assets available for benefits.
