        <footnote id="F1">The Stock Units (&quot;Units&quot;) convert to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Not applicable.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Includes units acquired upon reinvestment of dividends accrued on units in the IFF Stock Fund under the Company's deferred compensation plan during 2006.  The acquisition of units with reinvested dividends is exempt from line item reporting under SEC Rule 16a-11.  The unit accounting process used by the plan administrator of the IFF Stock Fund under the deferred compensation plan includes Common Stock as well as cash, with the fund divided into a number of units which does not directly correspond to the same number of shares of Common Stock.  This leads to Common Stock maintained in the fund, as well as dividend reinvestment share units, to at times be in minor variance from the numbers reported in a different period.</footnote>
