The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, includes additional tax expense of $280 million
from the sale of the sugar confectionery business.
After the implementation of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, our unrecognized tax benefits were $667 million. If we had recognized
all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $530 million. Our unrecognized tax benefits
were $850 million at December 31, 2007, and if we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax
provision would have been $666 million. We expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by an insignificant amount
during the next twelve months. Furthermore, we recorded $72 million of unrecognized tax benefits and $30 million of accrued
interest and penalties as part of our preliminary purchase price allocation of Danone Biscuit, which is subject to revision when
the purchase price allocations are finalized during 2008. We include accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions in our tax provision. We had accrued interest and penalties of $125 million as of January 1, 2007 and $232 million as
of December 31, 2007. Our 2007 provision for income taxes includes $90 million for interest and penalties, and we paid $13
million during 2007.
