REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the trustees of:

Modern Industries Company (Jeddah) - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan,

Modern Industries Company (Dammam) - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan, and

Modern Products Company - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Employee Savings and Thrift Plans for Modern Industries Company (Jeddah), Modern Industries Company (Dammam) and Modern Products Company, which are centrally administered as the Savings and Thrift Plans (Saudi Arabia) of The Procter & Gamble Company (the “Plans”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related combined statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 combined financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plans are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of their 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 purposes 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 combined financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plans as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.	PLANS DESCRIPTION AND RELATED MATTERS

The following brief description of the Employee Savings and Thrift Plans for Modern Industries Company (Jeddah), Modern Industries Company (Dammam) and Modern Products Company, which are centrally administered as the Savings and Thrift Plans (Saudi Arabia) of The Procter & Gamble Company (the “Plans”), is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to each plan agreement for more complete information.

The Plans are not subject to any provisions of the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, nor is it qualified under the United States Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a).

Trustees

The Trustees of the Plans include the chairman of Modern Industries Company (Jeddah), Modern Industries Company (Dammam) and Modern Products Company (collectively, the “Companies”) and nominated managers of the Companies.

Eligibility

Any permanent employee who has been on the payrolls of the Companies for more than 12 months is eligible to participate in the Plans.

Member’s accounts

An Employee Account and a Company Account are maintained for each member. The Employee Account includes a member’s contributions, decreased by all withdrawals and increased by all repayments of withdrawals. The Company Account includes the total contributions made by the Companies, which were credited to the member’s account in accordance with the terms of the Plans. Profits on bank deposits and net dividends are credited to the Employee Account.

Employee contributions

Basic deductions of 5% of base salary are contributed monthly by the members. The member has the option to invest these contributions in one of the following investment programs offered by the Plans:

·	Invest the full amount to purchase The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) securities.

·	Invest the full amount in bank deposits.

·	Invest 50% of the amount to purchase P&G securities, and 50% in bank deposits.

The numbers of participating employees under each of the aforementioned programs at December 31, 2007 were 195, 42 and 61 (2006: 175, 42 and 17; 2005: 150, 39 and 16), respectively. Members may elect to contribute an additional 1% to 10% of their monthly salary. These additional contributions are not matched by the Companies and can only be invested in P&G securities.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007, 2006 AND 2005

(Expressed in Saudi Riyals)

Companies’ contributions

The Companies credit each member with an amount ranging from 25% to 100% of the balance in the Employee Account, depending on the member’s length of continuous service, with the rate reaching 100% after ten years of continuous service.

Earnings

Any occurrence of income from the net dividends earned and credits from forfeitures are utilized to purchase more P&G securities. These earnings are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the existing members based on the prior month-end balance of the Member's accounts.

Commission earned from bank deposits is allocated amongst the members of the Plans in proportion to their investments in bank deposits.

Vesting

The members are fully vested in their Employee Accounts and Earnings Accounts. Members become vested in the Companies’ contributions by 30% after the first three full years from the date of their membership in the Plans, or renewed membership (see Withdrawals), with the rate reaching 100% after ten full years of such membership.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals may be made from the member’s Employee Account at any time he chooses to, up to the extent of his contributions, the vested portion of the Companies’ Contributions and all relevant profits thereon.

The non-vested portion of the Companies’ Contributions and relevant profits are placed in a frozen account that will continue to be vested according to the vesting schedule. These are paid to the employee on his separation from the Companies unless he meets the criteria for forfeiture (see Forfeitures). The employee may rejoin the Plans after a one-year waiting period from the first withdrawal and a two-year waiting period for every subsequent withdrawal.

Loans

An existing member who has at least five years of membership is eligible to borrow from the Plans up to an amount that varies with the member’s monthly base salary and length of service. The maximum loan amount cannot exceed 50% of the balance in the Employee’s Account (including gains on securities) or six months salary, whichever is less. Repayment of the loan is made by monthly payroll deductions. The member may elect to repay the outstanding loan in a lump sum at any time.

Forfeitures

When members leave the Plans without the requirement for full vesting (see Vesting) for a reason other than transfer out, death or disability, the non-vested Companies’ Contributions and relevant profits are forfeited. The forfeited amount is divided amongst the existing members using the same formula as the Companies’ Contributions (see Companies Contributions).

Transferability

The Plans are 100% transferable between the Companies.

Costs of the plans

All administrative costs of the Plans are paid by the Companies.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of combination

The combined financial statements include the financial statements of all the Plans as stated in Note 1. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the combination.

Basis of accounting

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

The Plans invest in Procter & Gamble securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with P&G securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of P&G securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amount reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.

Valuation of investments

Investments in P&G and J.M. Smucker Company securities are valued at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. Bank deposits are stated at cost.

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.

Interest income

Interest income represents interest earned on bank deposits.

Foreign currency translation

The Plans’ primary currency is the Saudi Riyal. Non-Saudi Riyal investments are translated into Saudi Riyals at the exchange rates in effect on the last day of the Plans’ year. Earnings in foreign currencies other than the Saudi Riyals are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Exchange gains or losses for 2007, 2006 and 2005 were not significant.

TAXES

Currently, there are no personal income taxes in Saudi Arabia. Should they be introduced any time in the future, the Plans require that such taxes be borne by the members.

Dividend payments on P&G securities are received net of deduction of withholding taxes by the Government of the United States of America.

4.	THE J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY COMMON STOCK

In May of 2002, the Jif peanut butter and Crisco shortening brands were spun-off to P&G shareholders and subsequently merged into The J.M. Smucker Company (“Smucker”). As a result of the spin-off, participants holding P&G common stock received one share of Smucker stock for every fifty shares of P&G stock. The cost basis of the P&G common stock prior to the Smucker spin-off was allocated between P&G common stock held and the Smucker common stock received. Participants are not permitted to purchase additional shares of Smucker.
