Archer-Daniels-Midland Company and Subsidiaries

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Inventories

Interim period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels. Because the availability and price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards

During July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation Number 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. In addition, FIN 48 prohibits the use of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) Number 5, Accounting for Contingencies, in evaluating the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The Company will be required to adopt FIN 48 on July 1, 2007, and has not yet assessed the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s financial statements.

During September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Number 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS Number 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value within generally accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. SFAS Number 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in generally accepted accounting principles. However, the definition of fair value in SFAS Number 157 may affect assumptions used by companies in determining fair value. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS Number 157 on July 1, 2008. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of adopting SFAS Number 157 on the Company’s financial statements, but currently believes the impact of the adoption of SFAS Number 157 will not require material modification of the Company’s fair value measurements and will be substantially limited to expanded disclosures in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. New Accounting Standards (Continued)

During September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Number 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This Statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in comprehensive income in the year in which the changes occur. SFAS Number 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans as of the end of the fiscal year instead of a date up to three months prior to the end of the fiscal year. Pursuant to SFAS Number 158, the Company will be required to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans in its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The Company will be required to adopt the measurement date provisions of SFAS Number 158 on June 30, 2009. Had the Company recognized the overfunded and underfunded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans as of June 30, 2006, other long-term assets, deferred income taxes, and accumulated other comprehensive income would have been reduced $230 million, $120 million, and $197 million, respectively, while other long-term liabilities would have increased by $87 million.

Note 6. Guarantees

The Company has entered into agreements, primarily debt guarantee agreements related to equity-method investees, which could obligate the Company to make future payments if the primary entity fails to perform its contractual obligation. The Company has not recorded a liability for these contingent obligations, as the Company believes the fair value of these contingent obligations is immaterial. The Company has collateral for a portion of these contingent obligations. These contingent obligations totaled $171 million at September 30, 2006. Outstanding borrowings under these contingent obligations were $129 million at September 30, 2006.

Note 7. Segment Information

The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company’s operations are classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company’s remaining operations are aggregated and classified as Other.

The Oilseeds Processing segment includes activities related to processing oilseeds such as soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, canola, peanuts, and flaxseed into vegetable oils and meals principally for the food and feed industries. In addition, oilseeds may be resold into the marketplace as a raw material for other processors. Crude vegetable oil is sold "as is" or is further processed by refining, bleaching, and deodorizing into salad oils. Salad oils can be further processed by hydrogenating and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products. Partially refined oil is sold for use in chemicals, paints, and other industrial products. Refined oil can be further processed for use in the production of biodiesel. Oilseed meals are primary ingredients used in the manufacture of commercial livestock and poultry feeds.

The Corn Processing segment includes activities related to the production of sweeteners, starches, dextrose, and syrups for the food and beverage industry as well as activities related to the production, by fermentation, of bioproducts such as alcohol, amino acids, and other specialty food and feed ingredients.

The Agricultural Services segment utilizes the Company’s extensive grain elevator and transportation network to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, and barley, and resells these commodities primarily as feed ingredients and as raw materials for the agricultural processing industry. Agricultural Services’ grain sourcing and transportation network provides reliable and efficient services to the Company’s agricultural processing operations. Also included in Agricultural Services are the activities of A.C. Toepfer International, a global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products.

Other includes the Company’s remaining operations, consisting principally of food and feed ingredient businesses and financial activities. Food and feed ingredient businesses include Wheat Processing with activities related to the production of wheat flour; Cocoa Processing with activities related to the production of chocolate and cocoa products; the production of natural health and nutrition products; and the production of other specialty food and feed ingredients. Financial activities include banking, captive insurance, private equity fund investments, and futures commission merchant activities.

Intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market. Operating profit for each segment is based on net sales less identifiable operating expenses, including an interest charge related to working capital usage. Also included in operating profit are the related equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. General corporate expenses, investment income, unallocated interest expense, marketable securities transactions, and FIFO to LIFO inventory adjustments have been excluded from segment operations and classified as Corporate.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Operating Performance Indicators

The Company is exposed to certain risks inherent to an agricultural-based commodity business. These risks are further described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

The Company’s Oilseeds Processing, Agricultural Services, and Wheat Processing operations are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in segment selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. Therefore, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both net sales and cost of products sold and minimal impact on the gross profit of underlying transactions. As a result, changes in net sales amounts of these business segments do not necessarily correspond to the changes in gross profit realized by these businesses.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company’s Corn Processing operations and certain other food and feed processing operations also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. In these operations, agricultural commodity price changes can result in significant fluctuations in cost of products sold and such price changes cannot necessarily be passed directly through to the selling price of the finished products. For products such as ethanol, selling prices bear no direct relationship to the raw material cost of the agricultural commodity from which it is produced.

The Company conducts its business in many countries. For the majority of the Company’s subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. Fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro and British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar will result in corresponding fluctuations in the relative U.S. dollar value of the Company’s revenues and expenses. The impact of these currency exchange rate changes was not significant during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

The Company measures the performance of its business segments using key operating statistics such as segment operating profit and return on fixed capital investment. The Company’s operating results can vary significantly due to changes in unpredictable factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, plantings, government (domestic and foreign) farm programs and policies, changes in global demand resulting from population growth and changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops. Due to these unpredictable factors, the Company does not provide forward-looking information in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Additionally, the Company’s operating results for the current quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2007.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

As an agricultural-based commodity business, the Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company’s operating results. Strong biodiesel demand in Europe continued to create increased vegetable oil demand and has positively impacted rapeseed crushing margins in Europe. Abundant oilseed supplies, improved vegetable oil values, and strong protein meal demand have positively impacted oilseed crushing margins in North America. Increased gasoline prices and continuing strong ethanol demand led to improved corn processing results. Solid demand for sweetener and starch products also improved corn processing results. North American grain origination and agricultural commodity export operations experienced favorable operating conditions as a result of abundant supplies of agricultural commodities. North American river transportation operations were favorably impacted by strong demand for river transportation services which increased barge freight rates. These conditions resulted in improved operating results during the quarter for Oilseed Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services.

Analysis of Statements of Earnings

Net sales and other operating income increased 10% to $9.4 billion due primarily to increased sales volumes of agricultural commodities and increased selling prices of corn processing products and, to a lesser extent, increased selling prices of agricultural commodities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Net sales and other operating income by segment are as follows:

	THREE MONTHS ENDED

Total	$	9,446,922	$	8,626,949	$	819,973

Oilseeds Processing sales increased 8% to $3.2 billion principally due to increased sales volumes and higher average selling prices of biodiesel and South American oilseed exports. Higher average selling prices of vegetable oil and increased sales volumes of protein meal also contributed to the increase in sales. Vegetable oil average selling prices improved as the markets anticipate new demand from the developing U.S. biodiesel industry. These increases were partially offset by lower average selling prices of protein meal resulting from lower oilseed commodity prices. Corn Processing sales increased 9% to $1.3 billion due to sales increases in both Sweeteners and Starches and Bioproducts. Sweeteners and Starches sales increased primarily due to higher average selling prices and, to a lesser extent, increased sales volumes. Sales volumes and prices have increased primarily due to solid demand for sweetener and starch products. Bioproducts sales increased primarily due to increased average selling prices of ethanol, partially offset by lower sales volumes of ethanol and citric acid. Ethanol average sales prices increased principally due to strong demand from gasoline refiners and from increased gasoline prices. Ethanol sales volumes declined as last year’s sales volumes exceeded production due to the release of inventories built up in anticipation of refiners replacing MTBE with ethanol. Agricultural Services sales increased 14% to $3.8 billion primarily due to increased sales volumes of North American grain origination activities and increased commodity prices for wheat and corn. These increases were partially offset by decreased commodity prices for oilseeds in North America. Last year’s sales volumes were low due to disruptions in North American grain origination and export activities caused by the hurricanes in the gulf coast region. Other sales increased 1% to $1.1 billion primarily due to increased sales of wheat flour and cocoa products, partially offset by decreased sales of formula feed products.

Cost of products sold increased 7% to $8.6 billion due primarily to higher sales volumes, higher average prices of agricultural commodities, and increased manufacturing costs. Manufacturing costs increased $91 million primarily due to increased energy costs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 2% to $310 million principally due to increased employee-related costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company issued option grants and restricted stock awards to officers and key employees pursuant to the Company’s Long-term Management Incentive Program. Certain officers and key employees of the Company receiving option grants and restricted stock awards are eligible for retirement. Compensation expense related to option grants and restricted stock awards issued to these retirement eligible employees is recognized in earnings on the date of grant. Selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 include compensation expense related to option grants and restricted stock awards granted to retirement eligible employees of $30 million and $31 million, respectively.

Other income increased $24 million due primarily to a $23 million increase in investment income and a $21 million increase in equity in earnings of affiliates, partially offset by an $11 million increase in interest expense. Interest expense and investment income increased primarily due to increased average borrowing and investment levels, respectively, and higher interest rates. The increase in equity in earnings of affiliates is primarily due to higher valuations of the Company’s private equity fund investments.

Operating profit by segment is as follows:

Earnings Before Income Taxes	$	575,253		$	273,732		$	301,521

Oilseeds Processing operating profits increased $71 million to $170 million due to improved market conditions in all geographic regions. European processing results improved principally due to strong demand for biodiesel and abundant rapeseed supplies in Europe. This strong demand for biodiesel in Europe increased European vegetable oil demand and resulted in improved oilseeds processing results. Abundant rapeseed supplies in Europe resulted in lower rapeseed price levels. North American processing results improved principally due to abundant oilseed supplies in the United States and good demand for soybean meal. Vegetable oil values improved as the markets anticipate new demand from the developing United States biodiesel industry. Last year’s North American processing results included the adverse effects of market disruptions caused by the hurricanes in the gulf coast region of the United States. Improved operating results in South America and Asia also contributed to the increase in operating profits.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Corn Processing operating profits increased $154 million to $290 million primarily due to higher average selling prices, partially offset by lower ethanol sales volumes and higher energy costs. Sweeteners and Starches operating profits increased $20 million due primarily to higher average sales prices and sales volumes. Sales volumes and prices have increased principally due to good demand for sweetener and starch products. These increases were partially offset by increased energy costs. Bioproducts operating profits increased $134 million primarily due to higher ethanol average selling prices, partially offset by lower ethanol sales volumes and increased energy costs. Ethanol average sales prices increased principally due to strong demand from gasoline refiners and from increased gasoline prices. Ethanol sales volumes declined as last year’s sales volumes exceeded production due to the release of inventories built up in anticipation of refiners replacing MTBE with ethanol.

Agricultural Services operating profits increased $91 million to $111 million as transportation operations, North American origination operations, and global grain merchandising operations experienced improved operating results. North American river transportation operating results increased primarily due to increased barge freight rates created by strong demand for barge capacity. Last year’s gulf coast hurricanes disrupted North American origination and export activities which negatively impacted last year’s operating results.

Other operating profits decreased 20% to $76 million. Other - Food, Feed and Industrial operating results decreased $31 million due primarily to cocoa processing, wheat processing, and natural health and nutrition operating results declining from prior year’s levels. Cocoa processing operating results declined primarily due to increased industry capacity which caused downward pressure on cocoa finished product prices. Other - Financial operating profits increased $12 million principally due to improvements in the Company’s futures commission merchant business and increased valuations of the Company’s private equity fund investments, partially offset by lower operating results of the Company’s captive insurance operations.

Corporate expense decreased 5% to $73 million due primarily to a reduction in unallocated interest expense, partially offset by a charge related to the effect of changing commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuations. The reduction in unallocated interest expense is due principally to higher levels of invested funds and higher interest rates.

Income taxes increased due principally to higher pretax earnings. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter is 30.0% as compared to 31.9% in the prior year’s quarter. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of pretax earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital intensive agricultural-based commodity business.

At September 30, 2006, the Company continued to show substantial liquidity with working capital of $6.0 billion and a current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, of 1.9 to 1. Included in working capital is $1.1 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities as well as $3.4 billion of readily marketable commodity inventories. Working capital increased $301 million during the quarter principally due to increased inventory levels of commodity-based agricultural raw materials. Capital resources remained strong as reflected by the increase in the Company’s net worth from $9.8 billion to $10.3 billion. The Company’s ratio of long-term debt to total capital (the sum of the Company’s long-term debt and shareholders’ equity) was 28% at September 30, 2006 compared to 29% at June 30, 2006. This ratio is a measure of the Company’s long-term liquidity and is an indicator of financial flexibility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity prices as they relate to the Company’s net commodity position; marketable equity security prices; market prices of limited partnerships’ investments; foreign currency exchange rates; and interest rates. Significant changes in market risk sensitive instruments and positions for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 are described below. There were no material changes during the quarter in the Company’s potential loss arising from changes in market prices of limited partnerships’ investments, marketable equity securities, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates.

For detailed information regarding the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions, see the “Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions” section of “Management’s Discussion of Operations and Financial Condition” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Commodities

The availability and price of agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather, plantings, government (domestic and foreign) farm programs and policies, changes in global demand resulting from population growth and changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops. A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the Company’s exposure to market risk of its commodity position. The Company’s daily net commodity position consists of inventories, related purchase and sale contracts, and exchange-traded futures contracts, including those to hedge portions of production requirements. The fair value of such position is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing each net position at quoted futures prices. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in such prices. Actual results may differ.

	SEPTEMBER 30, 2006				JUNE 30, 2006
		Fair Value		Market Risk		Fair Value			Market Risk
	(in millions)
Highest position - long (short)	$	682	$	68	$	510		$	51
Lowest position - long (short)		187		19		(574	)		(57	)
Average position - long (short)		477		48		(203	)		(20	)

The increase in fair value of the average position was principally the result of an increase in the daily net commodity position.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of September 30, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is involved in approximately twenty administrative and judicial proceedings in which it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the federal Superfund law and its state analogs for the study and clean-up of sites contaminated by material discharged into the environment. In all of these matters there are numerous PRPs. Due to various factors such as the required level of remediation and participation in the clean-up effort by others, the Company’s future clean-up costs at these sites cannot be reasonably estimated. In management’s opinion, these proceedings will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On September 25, 2006, the Company entered into a Consent Agreement with U.S. EPA Region 5 regarding the implementation of the Pharmaceutical Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards at the Company's Vitamin E plant located in Decatur, Illinois (the violations were primarily related to documentation requirements). The Company agreed to pay a penalty of $325,000 and to perform supplemental environmental projects at a cost of approximately $1,000,000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
