Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Administrator of

Kellogg Company Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco

Workers and Grain Millers Savings and Investment Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Kellogg Company Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements 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. An audit 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.

The supplemental Schedule G, Part III – Schedule of Nonexempt Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2014 and supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2014 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental Schedule G, Part III – Schedule of Nonexempt Transactions and the Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

December 31, 2014 and 2013

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The Kellogg Company Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) operates as a qualified defined contribution plan and was established under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. Expenses of administration are paid by the Plan sponsor, Kellogg Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new Accounting Standards Update (ASU) for a fair value measurement. The guidance removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The reporting entity should continue to disclose information on investments for which fair value is measured at net asset value (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient to help users understand the nature and risks of the investments and whether the investments, if sold, are probable of being sold at amounts different from net asset value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Plan does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on the Plan’s financial statements. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Plan will adopt the updated standard at the beginning of the year ended December 31, 2016.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date. See Note 6 for discussion.

The Plan’s interest in income (loss) of the Kellogg Company Master Trust (the “Master Trust”), which consists primarily of the realized gains or losses on the fair value of the Master Trust investments and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments is included in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Guaranteed Investment Contracts

The Master Trust also invests in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts and a separate account insurance contract, for which GSAM Stable Value, LLC has oversight. The Master Trust enters into a contract with an issuer to receive a rate of return based on underlying investments. For the synthetic contracts, the Master Trust acquires, retains title to and holds the underlying investments in a separately identified custody account. The underlying investments typically include portfolios of fixed income securities or units of fixed income collective trusts. The rate of return is based on a formula described within the terms of the contract (the “crediting rate”). The incremental value (if any) of the contract itself is based on i) issuer ratings as determined by credit ratings, which are published by rating agencies and ii) the present value of the change in each contract’s replacement cost. At the calendar year end 2014 and 2013, the present value of the differential between contract replacement cost and current contract cost was $13,597 and $14,660, respectively, for all guaranteed investment contracts.

Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. The statements of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The statements of changes in net assets available for benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the fully benefit responsive guaranteed investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by GSAM Stable Value, LLC, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuers, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for resetting.

Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial Plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (3) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.

Except for the above, the guaranteed investment contracts do not permit the contract issuers to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date at an amount different from contract value.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in several investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits at the date of the financial statements and changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Master Trust

Assets of the Plan are co-invested with the assets of other defined contribution plans sponsored by the Kellogg Company (the “Company”) in a commingled investment fund known as the Master Trust for which BNY Mellon Corporation served as the trustee until December 31, 2013. The Northern Trust Company became the trustee effective January 1, 2014.

Valuation of Net Investment in Master Trust

The Plan’s allocated share of the Master Trust’s net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each individual participant’s share of the Master Trust. The Plan’s net interest in the Master Trust is equal to the net investment in the Master Trust at fair value plus the adjustments from fair value to contract value related to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts on the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income From the Master Trust

An investment transaction is accounted for on the date the purchase or sale is executed. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments reflects both realized gains or losses and the change in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year-end. Realized gains or losses from security transactions are reported on the average cost method.

2.	Provisions of the Plan

The following description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more comprehensive description of the Plan’s provisions.

Plan Administration

The Plan is administered by trustees appointed by Kellogg Company and employees represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union, the ERISA Finance Committee and the ERISA Administrative Committee appointed by Kellogg Company.

Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

Redemption Fees

The Plan charges a 2% redemption fee for transfers and/or reallocations of units that have been in a fund for less than five business days. Fees collected are used to help offset trustee expenses.

Plan Participation and Contributions

Generally, all the Company hourly employees belonging to the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union Local Nos. 3-G, 50-G, 252-G, 374-G and 401-G are eligible to participate in the Plan after the completion of their applicable trial period.

Subject to limitations prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, participants may elect to contribute from 1 percent to 50 percent of their annual wages. Participants were eligible to defer up to $17,500 in 2014 and 2013. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the year are eligible to make catch-up contributions of up to $5,500 in 2014 and 2013. Employee contributions are matched by the Company at a 100% rate on the first 3% and a 50% rate on the next 2% with 12.5% of the Company match restricted for investment in Kellogg Company Stock. Employees may contribute to the Plan from their first date of eligibility; however, the contributions are not matched by the Company until the participant has completed one year of service from their date of hire.

Employer matching contributions held in Kellogg Company Stock can be transferred by a participant at any time to any other investment fund available under the Plan.

Plan participants may elect to invest the contributions and account balances for their accounts in various equity, bond, guaranteed investment contracts, fixed income funds or Kellogg Company stock or a combination thereof in multiples of one percent. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of trust expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.

Vesting

Participant account balances are fully vested.

Notes Receivable From Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Participants may have only one loan outstanding at any time. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the Loan Fund and the other funds. Loan terms range from 12 to 60 months, except for principal residence loans, which must be repaid within 15 years. Interest is paid at a constant rate equal to 1% over the prime rate in the month the loan begins. Interest rates on loans outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, ranged from 4.24% to 10%. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans that are uncollectible are defaulted resulting in the outstanding principal being considered a deemed distribution.

Participant Distributions

Participants may request an in-service withdrawal of all or a portion of certain types of contributions under standard in-service withdrawal rules. The withdrawal of any participant contributions which were not previously subject to income tax is restricted by Internal Revenue Service regulations.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

Participants who terminate employment before retirement by reasons other than death or disability may remain in the Plan until age 65 or receive payment of their account balances in a lump sum. If the account balance is $1,000 or less, the terminated participant will receive the account balance in a lump sum. Participants are eligible to retire from the Company at age 62, with 5 years of service, upon reaching age 55 with 20 years of service, or after 30 years of service. Upon retirement, disability, or death, a participant’s account balance may be received in a lump sum or installment payments. For any investment in Kellogg Company Stock, the participant can elect to receive that portion of their distribution in shares.

Termination

While the Company has expressed no intentions to do so, the Plan may be terminated at any time. In the event of Plan termination, after payment of all expenses, at the discretion of the employer, each participant and each beneficiary of a deceased participant will either (a) receive his entire accrued benefit as soon as reasonably possible, provided that the employer does not maintain or establish another defined contribution plan as of the date of termination, or (b) have an annuity purchased through an insurance carrier on his behalf funded by the amount of his entire accrued benefit.

3.	Income Tax Status

The Plan administrator has received a favorable letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 18, 2004 regarding the Plan’s qualification under applicable income tax regulations. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter and has filed for an updated determination letter on January 31, 2011. The Plan administrator entered into a closing agreement with the IRS relating to certain plan amendments in order to maintain the tax qualified status of the Plan in May 2015. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

4.	Related Party Transactions

Certain investments held in the Master Trust are shares of Kellogg Company common stock and short term investment funds managed by BNY Mellon Corporation until December 31, 2013 and The Northern Trust Company, effective January 1, 2014. Kellogg Company is the Plan sponsor and BNY Mellon Corporation until December 31, 2013, and The Northern Trust Company effective January 1, 2014, are the trustees as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions, as well as participant loans, qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.

Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

BNY Mellon Corporation charged a flat annual fee which was paid to the trustee as compensation for services performed under the Master Trust agreement until December 31, 2013. Effective January 1, 2014, The Northern Trust Company charges an asset based fee and a flat account based fee which are paid to the trustee as compensation for services performed under the Master Trust agreement. The trustee’s fee is payable monthly and accrued for daily.

Fees paid during 2014 and 2013 for management and other services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on comparable rates for such services. The majority of such fees were paid by the Plan. A portion was returned to the Plan based on revenue sharing arrangements. The revenue sharing amounts received are used to pay the Plan’s administrative expenses.

6.	Fair Value Measurements

The Plan’s assets are categorized using 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 of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Kellogg Company

Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers

Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013



Level 2		Inputs to the valuation methodology include: • Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; • Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and • Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

		If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3		Inputs to the valuation methodology are prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

•

Money market funds: Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Master Trust at year end using the fair value of underlying investments. The underlying investments of the domestic equity collective trust correspond with those of the S&P 500. Redemptions are allowed on every business day.

•

Common stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

•

Mutual funds: Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Master Trust at year end.

•

Guaranteed investment contracts: The fair value of each GIC contract is calculated based on the fair value of the investments underlying the contract. The fair value of the underlying investments is valued based on a quoted exchange, matrices, or models from pricing vendors. These underlying assets consist of U.S. treasuries, Level 1, cash and cash equivalents which are primarily repurchase agreements that are highly liquid and trade against U.S. securities, Level 1; corporate debt, government agency debt, collective trusts and investment funds and mortgage-backed securities, Level 2. Government agency debt and corporate bonds are valued using pricing models maximizing the use of observable inputs for similar securities. This includes basing value on yields currently available on comparable securities of issues with similar credit ratings. Mortgage-backed securities are valued based on valuation models. Collective trust and investment funds consist of term funds and bond funds. They are valued at the NAV based on information reported by the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the funds at year end. The underlying investments consist primarily of debt investment securities. The fair value of each synthetic GIC wrapper is calculated by discounting the difference between the fair value of the underlying assets and the fair value of the current annual fee multiplied by the notional dollar amount of the contract.

•

Commingled funds and Collective trusts: Valued at the NAV based on information reported by the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the funds at year end. The underlying investments correspond with that of the S&P 500 index for the State Street Global Advisors S&P 500 Index.

Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers

Savings and Investment Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

The fair value of the State Street Global Advisors S&P 500 Index as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $345,631,945 and $305,907,851, respectively. Collective trusts are valued based upon the NAV of units held by the Master Trust at year end using the fair value of underlying investments. The underlying investments correspond with the values of the investments managed by the T. Rowe Price Russell 1000 Growth Index for The T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund. Daily redemption is applicable and there are no redemption restrictions. The fair value of the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $113,233,854 and $104,629,724, respectively.

The Plan is subject to master netting agreements, or netting arrangements, with certain counterparties. These agreements govern the terms of certain transactions and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying offsetting mechanisms and collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different master netting arrangement, possibly resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. Master netting agreements are specific to each different asset type; therefore, they allow the company to close out and net its total exposure to a specified counterparty in the event of a default with respect to any and all the transactions governed under a single agreement with the counterparty.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, 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.

The Master Trust’s practice regarding the timing of transfers between levels is to measure transfers in at the beginning of the month and transfers out at the end of the month. For the years ended December 31, 2014, one investment within level 3 transferred to level 2 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Master Trust had no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Kellogg Company Master Trust assets at fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
