REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Participants and Plan Administrator of

    Colgate-Palmolive Company Employees Savings and Investment Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Colgate-Palmolive Company Employees Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s administrator. 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 audits 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan’s administrator, as well as 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 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s administrator. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The Plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements, participation and vesting standards, and fiduciary responsibility provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Within the Plan, an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) has been established. LaSalle Bank N.A. was the trustee of Funds D and E (the “ESOP trust”) until December 21, 2005, when it was succeeded in that capacity by State Street Global Advisors (the “ESOP trustee”), a division of State Street Bank & Trust Company, and Citibank N.A. is the trustee of the remaining funds. The Plan offers a Savings Program, a Success Sharing Program, a Bonus Savings Account Program, an Income Savings Account Program and a Retiree Insurance Program. The provisions below, applicable to the Plan participants, provide only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

As of December 31, 2005, the Plan maintains the following funds:

ESOP

In accordance with the terms of the Plan, on June 19, 1989, the ESOP trust issued $410,029,684 of long-term notes due through 2009 bearing an average interest rate of 8.7 percent. These notes are guaranteed by the Company. The ESOP trust used the proceeds of the notes to purchase 6.3 million shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preference Stock (“Preference stock”) from the Company.

Each share of Preference stock is currently convertible into eight shares of the Company’s common stock at the discretion of the ESOP trustee. All Preference stock must be converted into the Company’s common stock or redeemed in cash upon reallocation to other funds or withdrawal from the Plan. The Preference stock has a minimum redemption price of $65 per share and pays dividends of $4.88 per annum, payable semi-annually, or, if higher, the dividend paid on eight shares of the Company’s common stock for the comparable period.

Dividends of $8.88 per share were paid on the Preference stock during 2005. Dividends on the Preference stock are paid to the ESOP trustee. These dividends, together with the Company contributions, dividends on the Company’s common stock in Fund E and borrowings from the Company (discussed below), are used by the ESOP trustee to repay principal and interest on the long-term notes. Scheduled maturities of the long-term notes outstanding at December 31, 2005 are as follows: 2006 - $45,007,983; 2007 - $53,904,805; 2008 - $63,712,938; 2009 - $74,441,457. The fair value of the long-term notes outstanding as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was estimated at $254 million and $308 million, respectively, based on current interest rates for debt with similar maturities.

As a means of extending the benefits of the ESOP to participants over a longer period, the ESOP trust and the Company entered into a loan agreement in June 2000 under which the Company may loan up to $300,000,000 through 2009 to the ESOP with repayment scheduled no later than December 31, 2035. Repayments of principal and interest will be funded through future contributions and dividends from the Company. During 2005, the Company contributed $12,879,924 to the ESOP trust. The Company has guaranteed minimum funding of $130,000,000, on a present value basis, in excess of debt service requirements. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the ESOP trust had outstanding borrowings from the Company of $46,627,118 and $32,321,994, respectively, bearing an average interest rate of 5.62 percent. The fair value of the outstanding notes payable to the Company at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was estimated at $51 million and $35 million, respectively, based on current interest rates for debt with similar maturities.

A portion of the Preference stock is released for allocation to participants semi-annually based on the ratio of debt service for the period to total debt service over the remaining scheduled life of all ESOP debt. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, 1,644,365 and 1,687,672 Preference shares (valued at $721,547,362 and $690,730,396) were allocated to employee accounts in the Plan, and the balance of 2,258,623 and 2,527,574 shares (valued at $991,083,772 and $1,034,485,487) remain to be allocated, respectively. Generally, released shares are allocated to employee accounts in the following manner:

 

  (1) In lieu of cash dividends on the Preference stock and the Company’s common stock held by the ESOP trustee which are used to repay principal and interest on the long-term notes,
  (2) Pursuant to the Company’s matching contribution under the Savings Program,
  (3) Pursuant to the Success Sharing Program,
  (4) Pursuant to the Bonus Savings Account Program and the Income Savings Account Program,
  (5) Pursuant to the Retiree Insurance Program

Savings Program

Participant Contributions

Employees eligible to participate in the Savings Program of the Plan must meet certain minimum hourly service requirements, be at least 18 years old and have completed three months of service, as defined by the Plan. Under the Savings Program, employees generally can contribute to the Plan between 1 percent and 25 percent of their recognized earnings (the greater of total compensation paid during the previous calendar year minus items such as reimbursement of moving expenses and special awards, or regular salary as of the most recent January 1 plus commissions and bonuses paid in the prior year). Employees who are not “highly compensated”, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), may contribute any combination up to 25 percent of their recognized earnings on either a before-tax (subject to certain IRC limitations) or after-tax basis. Most employees who are “highly compensated” may contribute up to 12 percent of their recognized earnings. However, those employees whose 2005 recognized earnings equaled or exceeded $210,000 were further limited to 8 percent of their recognized earnings, those employees whose 2005 recognized earnings were between $130,000 and $209,999 were limited to 10 percent of their recognized earnings and those employees whose 2005 recognized earnings were between $90,000 and $129,999 were limited to 12 percent of their recognized earnings. Participants may change their contribution rate, resume or suspend contributions and/or change the allocation of their contributions between before-tax and after-tax earnings on a weekly basis. Plan participants are always fully vested in their contributions and related investment earnings. On August 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to allow participants age 50 and older to contribute an additional $1,000 for 2002 on a pre-tax basis. This dollar maximum has been increased each year, $2,000 for 2003 to $3,000 for 2004, $4,000 for 2005 and $5,000 for 2006.

Company Matching Contributions

The Company and wholly-owned subsidiaries to which the Plan has been extended, make matching contributions of 50 percent to 70 percent of employee contributions up to 6 percent of recognized earnings, depending on years of service. Company matching contributions for employees participating in the Savings Program are made in the form of an allocation of Preference stock. Participants are 50 percent vested in the Company matching contributions after two years of service and fully vested after three years of service or upon reaching age 55, becoming permanently disabled, or in the event of death or Plan termination.

Distributions

Participating employees can receive a distribution from the Plan due to retirement, permanent disability, termination or death, or by voluntary partial withdrawal. Settlement is made in accordance with provisions of the Plan and unvested Company matching contributions will be forfeited in the event of termination. A participant may withdraw his or her before-tax contributions only if, in the judgment of the Employee Relations Committee of the Company (the “Committee”), the withdrawal is due to financial hardship as defined in the Plan, the administrative rules of the Committee and Federal tax laws.

Forfeitures

Forfeitures become available to the Company to reduce future Company matching contributions. Forfeitures for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $240,823.

Funds

Participating employees may direct their current contributions to be allocated among any of the funds, other than Funds D and E, in multiples of 1 percent. Participants may diversify the Company matching contributions in which they are fully vested among any of the other investment fund choices in the Plan, beginning the earlier of reaching age 55 or the third anniversary of their date of hire. Participants may change how future contributions will be invested on a daily basis. Reallocation among the funds of previously invested amounts may be made on a daily basis.

Incoming Rollovers

Effective April 2004, the Plan permits incoming rollovers of before-tax money from Section 403(b) plans and governmental Section 457 plans, as well as both before-tax and after-tax money from other companies’ qualified plans.

Participant Loans

A participating employee may, under certain circumstances, borrow up to 50 percent of fully vested funds, excluding any amounts previously transferred from the prior Colgate-Palmolive Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the Success Sharing Account and Retiree Insurance Account, up to a maximum of $50,000. The interest rate on Plan loans is equal to Citibank N.A.’s prime rate, fixed at the time of loan application. Principal and interest are paid ratably via payroll deductions.

Success Sharing Program

The Success Sharing Program is designed to enable the Company to share its financial success with employees. Under the Success Sharing Program, a Success Sharing Account (“SSA”) has been established within the Plan for each eligible employee. As the Company meets or exceeds annual financial targets, shares of Preference stock are allocated to employee accounts according to a pre-determined formula. To be eligible, an individual generally must be employed by the Company on a full-time basis, be at least 18 years old and on the payroll from at least June 30 through the last day of the year. Part-time employees with benefits are also eligible. Employees are at all times fully vested in the value of their SSA. Participants may on an annual basis diversify up to 25 percent of their SSA among any of the other investment fund choices in the Plan beginning in the year they reach age 55 and up to 50 percent beginning five years later.

Bonus Savings Account (“BSA”) Program

The BSA Program is designed to enable each eligible employee to receive all or a portion of his or her bonus in Preference stock. Under this program, a BSA allocation is credited to each eligible employee’s Bonus and Income Savings Account established within the Plan. The portion of an employee’s bonus that can be allocated within the BSA program is determined based on the bonus amount earned, the total number of shares of Preference stock available for allocation, and other factors such as an employee’s income level and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rules. This program is generally available to all employees in the United States who are participants in the Plan. However, due to IRS restrictions, employees who have not had Retiree Insurance Account (“RIA”) (see below) or SSA balances for at least two years in the Plan, and were hired after January 2, 1996 are unable to participate in the program, and employees with fewer than five years of service may be ineligible to receive a BSA allocation with respect to certain bonus periods. Employees are at all times fully vested in the value of their Bonus and Income Savings Account and may elect to withdraw the balance of this account from the Plan immediately or at a later date. Participants may also diversify the value of their account under the same requirements as outlined for the Success Sharing Program described above.

Income Savings Account (“ISA”) Program

The ISA Program is designed to enable each eligible employee to receive a portion of his or her income in the form of Preference stock. Under this program, an ISA allocation of Preference stock is made each year to each eligible employee’s Bonus and Income Savings Account. This program is available to active full-time employees and part-time employees with benefits in the United States, with at least five years of service. Employees are at all times fully vested in the value of their Bonus and Income Savings Account and may elect to withdraw the balance of this account from the Plan immediately or at a later date. Participants may also diversify the value of their account under the same requirements as outlined for the Success Sharing Program described above.

Retiree Insurance Program

The Retiree Insurance Program is designed to provide funds that can be used by employees to purchase health and life insurance upon retirement. Under the Retiree Insurance Program, an RIA has been established within the Plan for each eligible employee. Each year, shares of Preference stock are allocated to each employee’s RIA. The number of shares allocated is determined based upon the total number of shares available for allocation, actuarial assumptions and targeted funding of retiree health and life insurance. To be eligible for an allocation into an RIA, employees must be at least 18 years old, employed with the Company or a participating subsidiary on a full-time basis, and on the payroll on the last day of the year. Participants with two years of service are 25 percent vested, three years of service are 50 percent vested, four years of service are 75 percent vested, and participants are fully vested after five years of service or upon reaching age 55, becoming permanently disabled, or in the event of death or Plan termination. Participants may diversify the value of their account under the same requirements as outlined for the Success Sharing Program described above.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the Plan, the Committee shall compute the value of the accounts of the participants which shall be fully vested and non-forfeitable. The accounts of each participant shall be distributed in a lump sum.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting except for distributions to participants which are presented on the cash basis of accounting (see note 7). Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent gains and losses at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investment contracts are stated at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the investment contract, plus credited net earnings, less participant withdrawals and any administrative expenses not otherwise included in net contract interest rates. The Preference stock is stated at the greater of $65 par value or the fair value of eight shares of the Company’s common stock. Participant loans receivable are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. All other investments are stated at fair value as determined by Citibank N.A. based on quoted market prices.

Administration

The Plan is administered by the Committee for the benefit of the participants. Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan and are recorded as a reduction of investment income.

3. Federal Income Taxes

The Company has obtained a determination from the IRS in a letter dated March 20, 2003 that the Plan, as amended and restated as of October 1, 1999 qualifies under Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 4975(e)(7) of the IRC, and that the related Trusts are exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Committee and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Most of the investment contracts carry a crediting interest rate established at inception and reset periodically (typically quarterly) to approximate the interest earnings of the underlying investments, subject to certain minimums. The remaining contracts carry a crediting interest rate established at inception, a portion of which are indexed to changes in outside benchmarks such as Treasury or LIBOR rates. For 2005 and 2004, the average yield and the average crediting interest rate on the investment contracts were 4.3 percent and 4.1 percent, respectively.

The contract values of the investment contracts were $61,033,037 and $57,273,618 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, which approximates fair value according to the terms of the contracts, as reported to the Plan. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, issuers of these investment contracts must have a credit rating of AA- or better under the fund manager’s investment rating system. Accordingly, there are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

7. Distributions

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, distributions payable due to withdrawals by participants of $631,310 and $631,096, respectively, are not reflected in the financial statements. For reporting to the Department of Labor, these amounts are reported as a liability on the Form 5500.
