Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Investment Committee
McCormick & Company, Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan as of November 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended November 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans 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 Plans 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 Plans 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 November 30, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years ended November 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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 November 30, 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 Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans 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.

The McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial
Statements
November 30, 2006
1. Description of the Plan
The McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by McCormick & Company, Incorporated (the Company), which incorporates a 401(k) savings and investment option.
Effective March 22, 2002, the Plan was amended to provide that the McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock fund investment option is designated as an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). This designation allows participants investing in McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock to elect to receive, in cash, dividends that are paid on McCormick stock held in their 401(k) Retirement Plan accounts. Dividends may also continue to be reinvested. The McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock fund invests principally in common stock of the Plan Sponsor.
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Further information about the Plan agreement, eligible employees, the vesting provisions, and investment alternatives is contained in the Plan Document.
Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts ranging from 1% to 60% of their earnings, subject to certain limitations.
Effective December 1, 2000, the Company and participating subsidiaries provide a matching contribution of 100% of the first 3% of an employees contribution, and 50% on the next 2% of the employees contribution. An employee is required to have one year of service with the Company to be eligible for the matching contribution.
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the Companys contributions including matching contributions, and all related earnings.
Participants elective contributions, as well as Company matching contributions, are invested in the Plans investment funds as directed by the participant.
Participants are permitted to take loans against their contributions to the Plan, subject to a $500 minimum. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participants contributed account balance or $50,000, less the highest outstanding unpaid loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Companys Investment Committee determines the interest rate for loans based on current market rates. Loan repayments, including interest, are made by participants through payroll deductions over loan terms of up to five years. Longer loan terms are available for loans taken to purchase, construct, reconstruct, or substantially rehabilitate a primary home for the participant or the participants immediate family.
4
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Upon termination of service, a participant with an account balance greater than $5,000 may elect to leave their account balance invested in the Plan, elect to rollover their entire balance to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified plan, elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to their entire balance, or elect annual installments to extend from two to eight years. Upon termination of service, a participant with an account balance less than $5,000 may elect to rollover their entire balance to an IRA or another qualified plan or elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to their entire balance. In the absence of instruction from a participant, balances less than $1,000 automatically will be paid directly to the participant and those greater than $1,000 will be rolled over to an IRA designated by the Administrator.
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan, or to reduce or cease contributions at any time, if its Board of Directors determines that business, financial, or other good causes make it necessary to do so, or to amend the Plan at any time and in any respect, provided, however, that any such action will not deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition
Investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market List are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Investments for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last reported bid price. Pooled, common and collective funds are valued by the issuer of the funds based on the fund managers estimate of the individual closing price of the funds on the last day of the plan year as quoted by the applicable fund issuer.
The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of investments is reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
The net realized gain or loss on disposal of investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold. Expenses relating to the purchase or sale of investments are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds.
5
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition (continued)
The McCormick Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of McCormick common stock and funds held in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Funds daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of McCormick common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. At November 30, 2006, 5,024,915 units were outstanding with a value of $25.80 per unit (4,613,528 units were outstanding with a value of $26.29 per unit at November 30, 2005). At November 30, 2006, the Fund held 3,303,271 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $127,902,663 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $1,721,644. At November 30, 2005, the Fund held 3,861,109 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $120,543,817 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $752,419.
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 ex-dividend date.
Administrative services are provided by the Company, which serves as the Plan Sponsor, without cost to the Plan; however, investment advisors fees are paid by the Plan.
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 amounts could differ from those estimates.
3. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated February 25, 2004, stating that 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. 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 that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
6
4. Investments
The Plans investments are held in bank-administered trust funds. The custodial trustee of the Plan is Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Plans investments (including investments bought, sold, or held throughout the year) appreciated /(depreciated) in fair value by $50,187,889, $(8,482,458) and $46,516,618, respectively, as follows:

5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
Fees paid during the year for legal, accounting and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services. The Plan holds investments in common stock of McCormick & Company, Incorporated, the Plan Sponsor, and in funds managed by affiliates of Wells Fargo, the custodial trustee of the Plan. Dividends on McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and income on investments in Wells Fargo funds are at the same rates as non-affiliated holders of these securities.
6. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Investment Committee
McCormick & Company, Incorporated (on behalf of
The Zatarains Partnership, L.P. 401(k) Savings Plan)
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Zatarains Partnership, L.P. 401(k) Savings Plan 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 Plans 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 Plans 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 Plans 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 Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans 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.

The Zatarains Partnership, L.P. 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial
Statements
December 31, 2006
1. Description of the Plan
The Zatarains Partnership, L.P. 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Zatarains Partnership, L.P. (the Company), which incorporates a 401(k) savings and investment option. The Plan has been in existence since 1990. The investment option in common stock of McCormick & Company, Incorporated was added April 1, 2004. The Company is wholly owned by McCormick & Company, Incorporated. The Plan covers all full-time employees of Zatarains Partnership, L.P. who have completed one year of service.
The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Further information about the Plan agreement, eligible employees, vesting provisions, and investment alternatives is contained in the Plan Document.
Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts ranging from 1% to 100% of their earnings, subject to certain limitations. The Company provides a matching contribution of 35% of an employees contribution on the first 6% of the employees eligible compensation. The Company may also contribute annually 3% of an employees eligible compensation as a profit-sharing contribution. An employee is required to have at least one year of service to be eligible for matching or profit-sharing contributions. During 2006 and 2005, the Company made profit-sharing contributions of $311,000 and $340,000, respectively.
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the profit-sharing contribution and all earnings on their vested balances. The Companys matching contributions vest as follows: after 2 years of service 20%; after 3 years of service 40%; after 4 years of service 60%; after 5 years of service 100%.
Participants contributions are invested in the Plans investment funds as directed by the participant. At each plan year end, the employer profit-sharing contribution was unallocated. Forfeitures of Company contributions are used to offset future Company contributions. Forfeitures during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $4,165 and $5,916, respectively.
Participants are permitted to take loans against their contributions to the Plan, subject to a $1,000 minimum. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participants contributed account balance or $50,000, less the highest outstanding unpaid loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Plan Sponsor (the Company) determines the interest rate for loans based on current market rates.
4
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Loan repayments, including interest, are made by participants through payroll deductions over loan terms of up to five years. Longer terms are available for loans taken to purchase, construct or substantially rehabilitate a primary home for the participant or the participants immediate family.
Upon termination of service, a participant with an account balance greater than $1,000 may elect to rollover the balance to an Individual Retirement Account or another qualified plan or elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to their account balance. Balances less than $1,000 will automatically be paid directly to the participant.
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan, or to reduce or cease contributions at any time, if its Board of Directors determines that business, financial or other good causes make it necessary to do so, or to amend the Plan at any time and in any respect, provided, however, that any such action will not deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition
Investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market List are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Investments for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last reported bid price. Pooled, common and collective funds are valued by the issuer of the funds based on the fund managers estimate of the individual investments held by the fund. Mutual funds are valued at the closing price of the funds on the last day of the plan year as quoted by the applicable fund issuer.
The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of investments is reflected in the statements of changes in net asset available for benefits as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
The net realized gain or loss on disposal of investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold. Expenses relating to the purchase or sale of investments are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds.
5
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition (continued)
The McCormick Stock Fund (the Fund) became an investment option for participants in 2004. The Fund is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of McCormick common stock and funds held in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Funds daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of McCormick common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. At December 31, 2006, 4,278 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $8.06 per unit (2,472 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $10.02 per unit at December 31, 2005). At December 31, 2006, the Fund held 804 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $31,002 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $3,474. At December 31, 2005, the Fund held 745 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $23,035 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $1,727.
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 ex-dividend date.
Administrative services are provided by the Company which serves as the Plan Sponsor, and McCormick & Company, Incorporated without cost to the Plan; however, investment advisors fees are paid by the Plan.
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 amounts could differ from those estimates.
3. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated January 20, 2006, stating that 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. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
6
3. Income Tax Status (continued)
maintain its qualification. The plan administrator 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 tax-exempt.
4. Investments
The Plans investments are held in bank-administered trust funds. The custodial trustee of the Plan is Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. During 2006 and 2005, the Plans investments (including investments bought, sold, or held throughout the year) appreciated in fair value by $665,792 and $562,859 as follows:

5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
Fees paid during the year for legal, accounting and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services. The Plan holds investments in common stock of McCormick & Company, Incorporated, the Parent of the Plan Sponsor, and in funds managed by affiliates of Wells Fargo, the custodial trustee of the Plan. Dividends on McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and income on investments in Wells Fargo funds are at the same rates as non-affiliated holders of these securities.
6. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Investment
Committee
McCormick &
Company, Incorporated (on behalf of
The Mojave Foods Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan)
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Mojave Foods Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan as of November 30, 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 Plans 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 Plans 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 Plans 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 November 30, 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 November 30, 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 Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans 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.

The Mojave Foods Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan
Notes to Financial
Statements
November 30, 2006
1. Description of the Plan
The Mojave Foods Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Mojave Foods Corporation (the Company), which incorporates a 401(k) savings and investment option. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of McCormick & Company, Incorporated. The Plan covers substantially all full-time employees of Mojave Foods Corporation who have completed six months of service. Employees classified as leased employees of the Company are not eligible for participation.
The Plan began April 1, 2004. The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Further information about the Plan agreement, eligible employees, vesting provisions, and investment alternatives is contained in the Plan Document.
Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts ranging from 1% to 60% of their earnings, subject to certain limitations. The Plan allows but does not require the Company to make matching contributions or other contributions at its discretion. Only participants employed by the Company on the last day of a plan year are eligible to receive any Company contributions made for such plan year. During the period December 1, 2005 through November 30, 2006, the Company made a discretionary matching contribution of 25% of eligible employee pretax contributions. During the period December 1, 2004 through November 30, 2005, the Company made a discretionary matching contribution of 20% of eligible employee pretax contributions. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, in earnings on their contributions, in matching Company contributions, and in earnings on vested Company contributions.
Participant contributions are invested in the Plans investment funds as directed by the participant.
Participants are permitted to take loans against their contributions to the Plan, subject to a $500 minimum. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participants contributed account balance or $50,000, less the highest outstanding unpaid loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Plan Sponsor (the Company) determines the interest rate for loans based on current market rates. Loan repayments, including interest, are made by participants through payroll deductions over loan terms of up to five years. Longer terms are available for loans taken to purchase, construct or substantially rehabilitate a primary home for the participant or the participants immediate family.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Upon termination of service, a participant with an account balance greater than $1,000 may elect to rollover the balance to an Individual Retirement Account or another qualified plan or elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to their account balance. Balances less than $1,000 will automatically be paid directly to the participant.
The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan, or to reduce or cease contributions at any time, if its Board of Directors determines that business, financial or other good causes make it necessary to do so, or to amend the Plan at any time and in any respect, provided, however, that any such action will not deprive any participant or beneficiary under the Plan of any vested right.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition
Investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Securities traded on a national securities exchange or included on the NASDAQ National Market List are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Investments for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last reported bid price. Pooled, common and collective funds are valued by the issuer of the funds based on the fund managers estimate of the individual investments held by the fund. Mutual funds are valued at the closing price of the funds on the last day of the plan year as quoted by the applicable fund issuer.
The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of investments is reflected in the statements of changes in net asset available for benefits as net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.
The net realized gain or loss on disposal of investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold. Expenses relating to the purchase or sale of investments are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds.
The McCormick Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of McCormick common stock and funds held in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Funds daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition (continued)
McCormick common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. At November 30, 2006, 4,056 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $8.19 per unit (2,068 units were outstanding with a value of $8.37 per unit at November 30, 2005). At November 30, 2006, the Fund held 773 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $29,931 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $3,283. At November 30, 2005, the Fund held 504 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $15,735 and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $1,564.
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 ex-dividend date.
Administrative services are provided by the Company which serves as the Plan Sponsor, and McCormick & Company, Incorporated, without cost to the Plan; however, investment advisors fees are paid by the Plan.
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 amounts could differ from those estimates.
3. Income Tax Status
The underlying non-standardized prototype plan has received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated August 30, 2001 stating that the form of the plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, the related trust is tax-exempt. In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2006-6 and Announcement 2001-77, the Plan Sponsor has determined that it is eligible to and has chosen to rely on the current IRS prototype plan opinion letter. 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 that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.

4. Investments
The Plans investments are held in bank-administered trust funds. The custodial trustee of the Plan is Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota N.A. During 2006 and 2005, the Plans investments (including investments bought, sold, or held throughout the year) appreciated in fair value by $41,465 and $10,102, respectively, as follows:

5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
Fees paid during the period for legal, accounting and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services. The Plan holds investments in common stock of McCormick & Company, Incorporated, the Parent of the Plan Sponsor, and in funds managed by affiliates of Wells Fargo, the custodial trustee of the Plan. Dividends on McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and income on investments in Wells Fargo funds are at the same rates as non-affiliated holders of these securities.
6. 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.
