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 (the Plan) as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended November 30, 2012. 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 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 Plan's internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 Plan's 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 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 November 30, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended November 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of November 30, 2012, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary 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 management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General

The McCormick 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by McCormick & Company, Incorporated (the Company or the Plan Sponsor), 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 be 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 & Company, Incorporated common 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 Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Effective December 1, 2011, the Plan was amended to provide the post-2011 profit sharing contributions to the Plan for each post-2011 active participant, who is employed by the Company as of November 30 of the Plan year.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Further information about the Plan agreement, eligible employees, the vesting provisions, and investment alternatives are contained in the Plan Document.

Contributions

Participating employees contribute to the Plan through payroll deductions in amounts ranging from 1% to 100% 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 employee's contribution, and 50% on the next 2% of the employee's contribution. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2012, are required to have one year of service with the Company to be eligible for the matching contribution. Employees hired after December 31, 2011 are immediately eligible for the match. For new hires after December 31, 2011, McCormick will make an annual profit sharing contribution of 3% of eligible earnings to participants' accounts (in addition to company match, which is applied as employee contributions are deposited). Employees will be automatically enrolled in the 401(k) plan at 2%; however, they can opt out or elect to change the percentage at any time. If the employee does not make a positive election to change the percentage, the contribution rate will be increased by 1% per year (up to maximum of 10% or IRS contribution limit).

Participants' elective contributions, as well as the Company's matching contributions, are invested in the Plan's investment funds as directed by the participant.

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 30, 2012 and 2011



1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the employer’s contribution made on his or her behalf plus a proportionate interest in the investment earnings of the funds in which the contributions are invested. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account balance.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the Company match, and all related earnings. The 3% annual profit sharing contribution vests when employee has 3 years of service or reaches age 55, if sooner.

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants are permitted to take loans from their account balances, subject to a $500 minimum. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participant's contributed account balance or $50,000, less the highest outstanding loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Company's investment committee determines the interest rate for loans based on current market rates. The loans are secured by the participant's account and bear interest at rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.25%.

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 participant's immediate family.

Benefit Payment

Participants may choose to receive account distributions either in the form of a lump sum payment or installments over a period of time as defined in the Plan Document. Benefits and withdrawals are recorded when paid.

Upon termination of service, a participant with an account balance greater than $5,000, may elect to leave his or her account balance invested in the Plan, elect to rollover his or her entire balance to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or another qualified plan, elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to his or her 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 his or her entire balance to an IRA or another qualified plan or elect to receive a lump-sum payment equal to his or her 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 Plan Administrator.

Plan Termination

The Company has no intentions to terminate the Plan; however, 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. Also the Company may 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 benefits.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of year-end and the changes therein and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition

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 market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

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. 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 accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as net appreciation 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 & Company, Incorporated common stock (voting and non-voting) and funds held in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Fund's daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. As of November 30, 2012, 5,025,508 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $34.31 per unit. As of November 30, 2011, 4,181,812 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $32.36 per unit. As of November 30, 2012, the Fund held 2,647,325 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $170,027,250, and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $2,378,183. As of November 30, 2011, the Fund held 2,761,799, shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $133,895,683, and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $1,420,013.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent notes receivable from participants are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan Document; thus, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded as of November 30, 2012 and 2011.

Contributions

Employee and employer contributions are recorded in the period that the Plan Sponsor makes payroll deductions from the participant's earnings. The post-2011 profit sharing contributions are typically funded after the Plan year-end, within the timeframe prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the Plan are paid by the Plan Sponsor; however, fees for loan initiation and maintenance are paid for by the participant, and management and other fees for investment funds offered under the Plan are included in administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (ASU 2012-04). ASU 2012-04 identifies when the use of fair value should be linked to the definition of fair value in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” and contains conforming amendments to the Codification to reflect the measurement and disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public entities and December 15, 2013, for nonpublic entities. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2012-04 and does not expect implementation to have a material effect on the statement of net assets available for benefits.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)” (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. It did not have a material impact in the Plan's financial statements.

3.	INVESTMENTS (continued)

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, establish 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 under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are described below:



Level 1		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

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 unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The asset’s 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. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of November 30, 2012 and 2011.

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

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

Stable value fund: Valued at the relative fair value of the underlying market value of investments in the fund.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while 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.

One of the investment options offered by the Plan, the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund N15 (the “Stable Return Fund”), is a common collective trust that is fully invested in Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund G, which is fully invested in contracts deemed to be fully benefit responsive under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, in the statements of net assets available for benefits, the Stable Return Fund, along with the Plan's other investments, is stated at fair value with a corresponding adjustment to reflect the investment in the Stable Return Fund at contract value. Contract value represents cost plus accrued income minus redemptions.

4.	GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY

The Plan entered into a benefit-responsive guaranteed investment contract with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo), a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company. Wells Fargo maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.

Because the guaranteed investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract. The guaranteed annuity contract is presented on the face of the statements of net assets available for benefits at fair value with an adjustment to contract value in arriving at net assets available for benefits. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by Wells Fargo, 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 issuer or otherwise. The fair value of the investment contract at November 30, 2012 and 2011 was $39,743,185 and $40,934,276, respectively.

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) changes to the Plan's prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions, (3) 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 (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan administrator does not believe that any events which would limit the Plan's ability to transact at contract value with participants are probable of occurring.

The guaranteed annuity contract does not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.

5.	TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

The Plan holds investments in common stock of McCormick & Company, Incorporated, the Plan Sponsor, and in funds managed by affiliates of Wells Fargo Minnesota N.A., the custodial trustee of the Plan. Dividends on McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and income on investments in Wells Fargo Minnesota N.A. funds are at the same rates as non-affiliated holders of these securities.



6.	INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ruled that the Plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) in a letter dated February 25, 2004, and is therefore not subject to tax under present income tax laws. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the plan and recognized a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, there are no certain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) 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 2009.



7.	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 accompanying 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 (the Plan) as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended November 30, 2012. 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 Plan's 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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, the Plan Sponsor) 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 is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

The Plan began on 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 are contained in the Plan Document.

Contributions

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 years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company made discretionary matching contributions of 25% of eligible employee contributions.

Participants' elective contributions, as well as the Company's matching contributions, are invested in the Plan's investment funds as directed by the participant.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, and an allocation of the employer's contribution made on his or her behalf plus a proportionate interest in the investment earnings of the funds in which the contributions are vested. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account balance.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the Company's contributions, including matching contributions, and all related earnings.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants are permitted to take loans from their account balances, subject to a $500 minimum. The maximum of any loan cannot exceed one-half of the participant's contributed account balance or $50,000, less the highest outstanding unpaid loan balance during the prior 12 months, whichever is less. The Plan Sponsor determines the interest rate for loans based on current market rates. The loans are secured by the participant's account and bear interest at rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.25%.

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 participant's immediate family.

Payment of Benefits

Plan Termination

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 his or her account balance. Balances less than $1,000, will automatically be paid directly to the participant.

The Company has no intentions to terminate the Plan; however, 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 cause make it necessary to do so. Also, the Company may 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 benefits.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

Valuation of Securities and Income Recognition

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 rate. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

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. 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 McCormick Stock Fund (the Fund) is tracked on a unitized basis. The Fund consists of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock (voting and non-voting) and funds held in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund sufficient to meet the Fund's daily cash needs. Unitizing the Fund allows for daily trades. The value of a unit reflects the combined market value of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and the cash investments held by the Fund. As of November 30, 2012, 17,889 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $10.40 per unit. As of November 30, 2011, 14,631 units were outstanding with a value of approximately $9.18 per unit. As of November 30, 2012, the Fund held 2,632 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $170,786, and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $15,257. As of November 30, 2011, the Fund held 2,510 shares of McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock with an aggregate value of $122,237, and a balance in the Wells Fargo Short-Term Investment Money Market Fund of $12,121.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting principles accepted in the United States of America, establish 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 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under accounting principles accepted in the United States of America are described below:




Level 1		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

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 unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of November 30, 2012 and 2011.

Mutual funds: Valued at the quoted net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the Plan at year end.

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

Stable value fund: Valued at the relative fair value of the underlying market value of investments in the fund.

Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund N15	111,115	112,632	Monthly/Quarterly	None

One of the investment options offered by the Plan, the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund N15 (the “Stable Return Fund”), is a common collective trust that is fully invested in Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund G, which is fully invested in contracts deemed to be fully benefit responsive under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, in the statements of net assets available for benefits, the Stable Return Fund, is stated at fair value with a corresponding adjustment to reflect the investment in the Stable Return Fund at contract value. Contract value represents cost plus accrued income minus redemptions.

4.	GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT WITH INSURANCE COMPANY

5.	TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

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 Minnesota N.A., the custodial trustee of the Plan. Dividends on McCormick & Company, Incorporated common stock and income on investments in Wells Fargo Minnesota N.A. funds are at the same rates as non-affiliated holders of these securities.



6.	INCOME TAX STATUS

The Company adopted a Prototype 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan document that received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which stated that the prototype plan, as designed, qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) effective March 31, 2008. The Plan was amended effective December 1, 2012; however, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and therefore, believes the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
