Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
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 ADM 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009, is presented for the purpose 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. 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 and its participating affiliates (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 immediately. 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.
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.
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. New hires on or after January 1, 2009 are automatically enrolled at 6% unless they file an affirmative election requesting a higher or lower participation percentage within the terms of the plan.
Until December 31, 2008 the Company matched participant contributions to the Plan with ADM common stock, beginning January 1, 2009 ADM’s matching contributions are made in cash. Effective January 1, 2009 the Company also makes a non-elective contribution of 1% of plan compensation to all eligible employees’ accounts. The current match formula is as follows: 100% of the first 2% of compensation contributed and 50% of the next 4% of compensation contributed. The 2008 matching formula was 100% of the first 4% of compensation contributed and 50% of the next 2% of compensation contributed. For participants hired on or after January 1, 2009, the Company match and non-elective contributions vest over a two year period. For participants hired before January 1, 2009, the Company match vested immediately.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Investment Options
Participants may invest their contributions in one or more of the investment options 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 to cash and have the cash transferred within the Plan to be invested in the investment options available under the Plan.
Participant Loans
Loans are allowed for general purposes or for home purchase. General purpose loans are available for terms of up to five years and home purchase loans are available for terms of up to ten years.
Eligible participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 or the amount available to the participant up to the lesser of $50,000, 50% of their participant account balance or 100% of their loan eligible plan accounts. A “loan-eligible plan account” for this purpose is any plan account except an account reflecting “Roth” contributions (including Roth 401(k) contributions and Roth account rollovers) and earnings thereon. A maximum of one loan may be outstanding to a participant at any time.
The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate at the time of the loan’s issuance plus 1%. Principal and interest are repaid ratably through payroll deductions, with payments taken from each paycheck.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account contains the participant’s contributions, roll-over or transferred accounts from other qualified plans, the Company’s matching and non-elective contributions and investment earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.
Withdrawal
The vested 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. The fair value of the participation units in the fully responsive investment contracts is based on quoted redemption 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.
As described in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 962, Plan Accounting – Defined Contribution Pension Plans, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Master Trust investment in the Galliard Stable Value Fund (the Fund) is considered a synthetic guaranteed investment contract. As required by ASC 962, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment in the Fund as well as the adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The fair value of the Fund is based on information reported by Galliard at the last business day of the plan year. The contract value of the Fund represents contributions plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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.
Reclassifications
Certain items in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
3. Fair Value Measurements
The Plan assets are valued as required by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three Levels are described below:
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
| Level 2: | Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data. |
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
|
A financial instrument's Level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest Level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In evaluating the significance of fair value inputs, the Plan generally classifies assets or liabilities as Level 3 when their fair value is determined using unobservable inputs that individually, or when aggregated with other unobservable inputs, represent more than 10% of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Judgment is required in evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value Level classification. Valuation techniques used are generally required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Notes to Financial Statements
3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
ADM and other common stock:
ADM and other common stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Mutual funds:
Mutual funds are valued at the closing price reported on the NASDAQ and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Stable Value Fund:
The security-backed contract is created through the Fund’s investments in wrapper contracts associated with its investments in common collective trusts. The fair value of a wrapper contract provided by a security-backed contract issuer is the present value of the difference between the current wrapper fee and the contracted wrapper fee. The fees and discount rate are directly observable inputs. The fair values of the common collective trusts are based on the cumulative net asset value of their underlying investments, which are primarily U.S. government and agency securities, municipal bonds, and corporate notes and bonds. The fair value of these underlying investments are generally determined by quotes from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. The stable value fund is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Participant Loans:
Loans to plan participants are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants’ methods, 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.

4. Investment Contract
The Master Trust invests in security-backed investment contracts through the Galliard Stable Value Fund (the Fund). The Fund is considered a security-backed investment contract and primarily invests in common collective trusts as well as wrapper contracts. The wrapper contracts provide assurance that future adjustments to the variable crediting rates of investments in the common collective trust cannot result in a crediting rate less than zero.
The wrapper contracts are investment contracts issued by an insurance company or other financial institution, backed by the portfolio of bonds that are owned by the common collective trusts in which the Fund is invested. The portfolio underlying the contract is maintained separately from the contract issuer’s general assets, by a third party custodian. The interest crediting rate of the wrapper contracts is based on the contract value, and the fair value, duration, and yield to maturity of the underlying portfolio. These contracts typically allow for realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying assets to be amortized, usually over the duration of the underlying investments, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate, rather than reflected immediately in the net assets of the Fund. The issuer guarantees that all qualified participant withdrawals will be at contract value.
Risks arise when entering into any investment contract due to the potential inability of the issuer to meet the terms of the contract. In addition, security-backed investment contracts have the risk of default or the lack of liquidity of the underlying portfolio assets.
The primary variables impacting the future crediting rates of security-backed investment contracts include the current yield of the assets underlying the contract, the duration of the assets underlying the contract and the existing difference between the fair value and contract value of the assets within the contract.
The Fund uses a compound net crediting rate formula, which reflects fees paid to security-backed contract issuers.
The security-backed investment contracts are designed to reset their respective crediting rates on a quarterly basis and cannot credit an interest rate that is less than zero percent.
The crediting rate of security-backed investment contracts will track current market yields on a trailing basis. The rate reset allows the contract value to converge with the fair value of the underlying portfolio over time, assuming the portfolio continues to earn the current yield for a period of time equal to the current portfolio duration.
ADM 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan for Salaried Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
4. Investment Contract (continued)
To the extent that the underlying portfolio of a security-backed investment contract has unrealized and/or realized losses, a positive adjustment is made to the adjustment from fair value to contract value under contract value accounting. As a result, the future crediting rate may be lower over time than the then-current market rates. Similarly, if the underlying portfolio generates unrealized and/or realized gains, a negative adjustment is made to the adjustment from fair value to contract value, and the future crediting rate may be higher than the then-current market rates.
The yield earned by the Fund at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 3.80% and 6.20%, respectively. This represents the annualized earnings of all investments in the Fund divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at that date. The yield earned by the Fund with an adjustment to reflect the actual interest rate credited to participants in the Fund at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was 3.09% and 4.16%, respectively. This represents the annualized earnings credited to participants in the Fund divided by the fair value of all investments in the Fund at that date.
Security-backed investment contracts generally provide for withdrawals associated with certain events which are not in the ordinary course of Fund operations. These withdrawals are paid with a market value adjustment applied to the withdrawal as defined in the investment contract. Each contract issuer specifies the events which may trigger a market value adjustment.
At this time, the Fund does not believe that the occurrence of any such market value event, which would limit the Fund’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
Security-backed investment contracts generally contain termination provisions, allowing the Fund or the contract issuer to terminate with notice at any time at fair value, and providing for automatic termination of the contract if the contract value or the fair value of the underlying portfolio equals zero. The issuer is obligated to pay the excess contract value when the fair value of the underlying portfolio equals zero. In addition, if the Fund defaults on its obligations under the security-backed contract (including the issuer’s determination that the agreement constitutes a non-exempt prohibited transaction as defined under ERISA), and such default is not corrected within the time permitted by the contract, then the contract may be terminated by the issuer and the Fund will receive the fair value as of the date of termination.

5. 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, 2009 and 2008, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 77% and 76%, respectively.

6. 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. The stable value fund and mutual funds incur expenses in the course of their operations and distribute returns to shareholders based on the funds’ net income. Accordingly, these costs are not shown in plan expenses. Participants are charged check processing fees in certain circumstances. Costs of administering the Plan, including the trustee, record keeper, audit and actuarial fees are currently paid by the Plan’s sponsor, ADM. While it is anticipated that ADM will continue to pay these costs, the Plan permits the reasonable expenses of administering the Plan to be paid from the trust fund.
7. 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 will be 100% vested in all their accounts.

9. Income Tax Status
The Plan received a determination letter from the IRS, dated July 27, 2007, 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 Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan sponsor believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is exempt.

Notes to Financial Statements
10. 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.
