FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE

Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

With Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Table of Contents

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Pension Investment Committee

The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007, 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. This 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. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuation

The 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries (the Plan) has a beneficial interest in The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Savings Plans Pooled Trust Fund (the Pooled Trust). The Pooled Trust consists of the S&P 400 Index Account, S&P 500 Index Account, S&P 600 Index Account, Stable Assets Account, Retirement Assets I Account, Retirement Assets II Account, Retirement Assets III Account, McGraw-Hill Companies Stock Account, Money Market Account, Special Equity Account, Core Equity Account and International Equity Account (the Investment Accounts). In addition to the Investment Accounts in the Pooled Trust, the Plan allows participants to maintain Self Directed Accounts.

All earnings and net appreciation or depreciation of the Pooled Trust Investment Accounts, other than the Self Directed Accounts and the Stable Assets Account, are allocated to the Plan daily based upon the Plan’s share of the Investment Accounts’ fair market value at the end of the previous day.

Investments in the Self Directed Accounts are credited with earnings/charged with losses and expenses based on the performance of the individual investments within these accounts.

In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position 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). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment contract is considered fully benefit responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure requirements for fully benefit responsive investment contracts in defined contribution health and welfare and pension plans. The financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the FSP were effective for financial statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006. The Plan adopted the provisions of the FSP at December 31, 2006.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

As required by the FSP, investments in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits include fully benefit responsive investment contracts recognized at fair value. AICPA Statement of Position 94-4, Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefits Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, as amended, requires fully benefit responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plan’s Statement of Nets Assets Available for Benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value. Adoption of the FSP had no effect on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for any period presented.

Investments in the Stable Assets Account are benefit responsive. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the contract rate, less withdrawals under the contract. Short-term investments are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. All other investments held by the Plan are reported at fair value, as determined based on quoted market prices.

Under the terms of its trust agreement, the Plan engaged in an authorized form of security lending activities commencing October 1, 2007. The Plan had previously engaged in securities lending within certain mutual funds and commingled funds. The market value of securities on loan and the collateral held at The Northern Trust Company were $127,862,000 at December 31, 2007. Collateral held consists of cash, letters of credit, and government securities. Securities are loaned at the master trust level; a breakout of securities loaned at the plan level was not available. The accounting for securities lending agreements has no effect on the net assets of the Plan.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). Statement 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Plan Administrator is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of FAS 157 will have on the Plan’s financial statements.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investment Income

Investment income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Contributions

Contributions from employees are accrued when The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (the Company) makes payroll deductions. Contributions from the Company are accrued in the period in which they become obligations of the Company.

Administration of the Plan

The Plan is administered by the Vice-President, Employee Benefits (the Plan Administrator) who is responsible for carrying out the provisions of the Plan. The appointment was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

The investments for the Plan, excluding investments in the Self Directed Accounts, are directed by the Pension Investment Committee and by outside investment managers. The Pension Investment Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the outside investment managers are appointed by the Pension Investment Committee.

The Plan is responsible for its administrative expenses. The Company may reimburse the Plan for these expenses at its discretion. During 2007 and 2006, the administrative expenses of the Investment Accounts were allocated to all plans participating in the respective Investment Accounts and deducted from the net investment income allocated to the participating plans.

Federal Income Tax Status

The Plan received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 26, 2002 stating that the Plan, as amended, is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator has indicated that it will take all actions necessary to maintain the qualified status of the Plan.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

2. Plan Description

The following is a summary of benefit guidelines. A more detailed description is contained in the Plan Documents.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan. Employees of participating units have immediate eligibility, as long as the employee has completed the enrollment process.

Participants may contribute to the Plan up to 25% of their Plan earnings, limited to $15,500 and $15,000 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Plan contribution amounts allowable are limited pursuant to Sections 401(k), 401(m) and 415 of the Code.

Plan earnings include base earnings and certain other forms of compensation as provided under the Plan. Plan earnings were limited to $225,000 in 2007 and $220,000 in 2006, respectively.

The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of tax-deferred compensation contributed to the plan and 50% of the next 3%.

The assets of the Plan may be invested in the twelve Investment Accounts or in Self Directed Accounts. Participants can elect to designate, in 1% increments, their investment preference(s). There is no limit to the number of investment allocation changes for future allocations. The first four changes or reallocations of existing balances, in any calendar year, are permitted at no charge. A $10 charge is assessed to the participant’s account for each additional change or reallocation of existing balances, if the balance is reallocated more than eight times per year.

2. Plan Description

Employee contributions to the Plan are nonforfeitable. Effective January 1, 2001, contributions by the employer are fully vested immediately. Prior to January 1, 2001, contributions by the employer vested 25% per year and were fully vested after four years of continuous Plan participation, or if the participant was still employed by the Company, upon reaching age 65 regardless of service or upon death of the participant. Employer profit sharing contributions attributable to the 2007 plan year and subsequent plan years shall vest 20% after two years of continuous service and 20% after each year thereafter, with full vesting after five years. Profit sharing contributions also vest upon the participant’s attainment of age 65, if still employed by the Company, or upon the participant’s death, if still employed by the Company. Employer profit sharing contributions attributable to 2006 plan year and prior years will be 100% vested upon completion of five years of continuous service or upon attainment of age 65 or death while in service. Continuous Plan participation includes all years of participation plus any waiting periods before being eligible to join the Plan.

Forfeitures are used to reduce Company contributions to the Plan. Forfeitures for 2007 and 2006 were approximately $840,000 and $1,249,000, respectively.

The Plan provides for withdrawal of after-tax employee contributions. The Plan also provides for financial hardship withdrawals and hardship loans of a participant’s tax-deferred and vested Company contributions under defined circumstances.

The Plan also provides that a participant who makes an election regarding the Investment Accounts, upon exercising withdrawal or loan rights, receives a pro-rata distribution from the elected Investment Accounts.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue or to terminate the Plan, it is free to do so at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan, the account balances of all participants become nonforfeitable.

Profit Sharing

The Company will make profit sharing contributions to the Trustee from consolidated net profits for each plan year as the Board of Directors may determine at its discretion. This amount can be up to a maximum of 2.5% of eligible compensation up to the Social Security wage base and 5% of eligible compensation in excess of the Social Security wage base.

3. Investments (continued)

 

The Transamerica Life Insurance & Annuity Co. contract, the Bank of America contract, the J.P. Morgan contract and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations contract are book value liquidity agreements which, in conjunction with the underlying bond portfolios covered by each contract, comprise the synthetic GICs. In exchange for an annual fee, each book value liquidity agreement issuer guarantees to reimburse the Account for the shortfall, if any, between the portfolio’s market value and principal and accrued interest in the event of participant initiated distributions from the synthetic GIC. The synthetic GICs crediting interest rate resets quarterly and is based upon the yield, duration and market value of the underlying bond portfolio. Each of the book value liquidity agreements is subject to an early termination penalty, which could reduce the crediting interest rate guarantee for the quarter in which a premature termination occurs.

The weighted average yield for the Account for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 5.38% and 5.39%, respectively.

The rate at which interest is accrued to the contract balance of the Account for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 5.37% and 5.16%, respectively.

The total fair value of the Synthetic GICs was approximately $288,015,872 and $306,580,969 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The fair value of the synthetic GIC contracts was calculated using the following methodology:

 

  1. The difference between the indicative replacement cost and the current annual fee multiplied by the notional dollar amount of the contract was calculated.

 

  2. Future quarterly payments for the duration of the agreement that resulted from any difference identified immediately above, other than zero, were determined.

 

  3. Any difference in future payments was discounted by the published Bloomberg USD US Bank -AA- rated credit curve, as of the end of the year, and totaled.

6. Differences Between Financial Statements and Form 5500

GICs and Synthetic GICs are reported at fair value for Form 5500 purposes. For financial statement purposes, such items are recorded at gross fair value and adjusted to net contract value. Such differing treatments result in a reconciling item between the total net assets available for benefits recorded on the Form 5500 and the total net assets available for benefits included in the accompanying financial statements.
