Archer-Daniels-Midland Company
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. | Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates all entities, including variable interest entities (VIEs), in which it has a controlling financial interest. For VIEs, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary as defined under the applicable accounting standard. Investments in affiliates, including VIEs through which the Company exercises significant influence but does not control the investee and is not the primary beneficiary of the investee's activities, are carried at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since acquisition and are adjusted, where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee. The Company’s portion of the results of certain affiliates and results of certain VIEs are included using the most recent available financial statements. In each case, the financial statements are within 93 days of the Company’s year end and are consistent from period to period.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or if the Company does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability in the financial statements and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of this amended guidance does not have an impact on the Company's financial results.
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which requires the Company to transfer currency translation adjustments from other comprehensive income into net income in certain circumstances. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice as to whether ASC Topic 810, Consolidation or Topic 830 applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business. The adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on the Company's current period results. If the Company disposes all or part of a qualifying foreign entity, it will be required to release the portion of cumulative translation adjustment applicable to the disposed entity.
Effective January 1, 2014, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, which addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The amended guidance aims to resolve diversity in practice among companies that are subject to joint and several liabilities. The retrospective adoption of this amended guidance did not have an impact on current and prior period results and is not expected to have any material impact on the Company's financial results.
Last-in, First-out (LIFO) Inventories
Interim period LIFO calculations are based on interim period costs and management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels. Because the availability and price of agricultural commodity-based LIFO inventories are unpredictable due to factors such as weather, government farm programs and policies, and changes in global demand, quantities of LIFO-based inventories at interim periods may vary significantly from management’s estimates of year-end inventory levels.

Estimated fair values for inventories carried at market are based on exchange-quoted prices, adjusted for differences in local markets, broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either listed or over-the-counter (OTC) markets. Market valuations for the Company's inventories are adjusted for location and quality because the exchange-quoted prices represent contracts that have standardized terms for commodity, quantity, future delivery period, delivery location, and commodity quality or grade. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the inventory is classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair value of inventories are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold.

Note 2. | Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

Derivative contracts include exchange-traded commodity futures and options contracts, forward commodity purchase and sale contracts, and OTC instruments related primarily to agricultural commodities, energy, interest rates, and foreign currencies. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified in Level 1. The majority of the Company’s exchange-traded futures and options contracts are cash-settled on a daily basis and, therefore, are not included in the fair value tables. Fair value for forward commodity purchase and sale contracts is estimated based on exchange-quoted prices adjusted for differences in local markets. These differences are generally determined using inputs from broker or dealer quotations or market transactions in either the listed or OTC markets. When observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the contract, it is classified in Level 2. When unobservable inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the contract is classified in Level 3. Except for certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of commodity-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of cost of products sold. Changes in the fair value of foreign currency-related derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings as a component of revenues, cost of products sold, and other (income) expense – net. The effective portions of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) until the hedged items are recorded in earnings or it is probable the hedged transaction will no longer occur.
The Company's cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds valued using quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1.
The Company’s marketable securities are comprised of equity investments, U.S. Treasury securities, obligations of U.S. government agencies, and other debt securities. Publicly traded equity investments and U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1. U.S. government agency obligations and corporate and municipal debt securities are valued using third-party pricing services and substantially all are classified in Level 2. Unrealized changes in the fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of AOCI unless a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary at which point the decline is recorded in earnings.
The Company's segregated investments are comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. U.S. Treasury securities are valued using quoted market prices and are classified in Level 1.
The Company has deferred consideration under its accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”) which represents notes receivable from the purchasers under the Programs. This amount is reflected in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet (see Notes 5 and 12). The Company carries the deferred consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received. The fair value is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.

Note 2. | Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

For all periods presented, the Company had no transfers between Level 1 and 2. Transfers into Level 3 of assets and liabilities previously classified in Level 2 were due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts rising above the 10% threshold. Transfers out of Level 3 were primarily due to the relative value of unobservable inputs to the total fair value measurement of certain products and derivative contracts falling below the 10% threshold and thus permitting reclassification to Level 2.

In some cases, the price components that result in differences between the exchange-traded prices and the local prices are observable based upon available quotations for these pricing components, and in some cases, the differences are unobservable. These price components primarily include transportation costs and other adjustments required due to location, quality, or other contract terms. In the table below, these other adjustments are referred to as Basis. The changes in unobservable price components are determined by specific local supply and demand characteristics at each facility and the overall market. Factors such as substitute products, weather, fuel costs, contract terms, and futures prices also impact the movement of these unobservable price components.

The following table sets forth the weighted average percentage of the unobservable price components included in the Company's Level 3 valuations as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company's Level 3 measurements may include Basis only, transportation cost only, or both price components. As an example, for Level 3 inventories with Basis, the unobservable component as of March 31, 2014 is a weighted average 20.3% of the total price for assets and 22.1% for liabilities.

| Weighted Average % of Total Price
| March 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
Component Type | Assets |  | Liabilities |  | Assets |  | Liabilities
Inventories and Related Payables |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basis | 20.3 | % |  | 22.1 | % |  | 21.9 | % |  | 13.2 | %
Transportation cost | 13.2 | % |  | — | % |  | 12.3 | % |  | — | %
Commodity Derivative Contracts |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basis | 13.9 | % |  | 17.0 | % |  | 22.8 | % |  | 17.6 | %
Transportation cost | 9.5 | % |  | 11.5 | % |  | 32.5 | % |  | 12.3 | %

In certain of the Company's principal markets, the Company relies on price quotes from third parties to value its inventories and physical commodity purchase and sale contracts. These price quotes are generally not further adjusted by the Company in determining the applicable market price. In some cases, availability of third-party quotes is limited to only one or two independent sources. In these situations, the Company considers these price quotes as 100 percent unobservable and, therefore, the fair value of these items is reported in Level 3.

Note 3. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The majority of the Company's derivative instruments have not been designated as hedging instruments. The Company uses exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts to manage its net position of merchandisable agricultural commodity inventories and forward cash purchase and sales contracts to reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations in agricultural commodities and foreign currencies. The Company also uses exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts as components of merchandising strategies designed to enhance margins. The results of these strategies can be significantly impacted by factors such as the correlation between the value of exchange-traded commodities futures contracts and the value of the underlying commodities, counterparty contract defaults, and volatility of freight markets. Derivatives, including exchange-traded contracts and physical purchase or sale contracts, are stated at market value. Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Inventory is not a derivative and therefore fair values of and changes in fair values of inventories are not included in the tables below.
The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Note 3. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

Inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, which include amounts acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. Changes in the market value of inventories of certain merchandisable agricultural commodities, forward cash purchase and sales contracts, exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded and OTC options contracts are recognized in earnings immediately.
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow or Fair Value Hedging Strategies

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has certain derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges.
The Company uses interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to protect the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the underlying fixed-rate debt are recorded in other (income) expense - net. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. At March 31, 2014, the Company has $4 million in accrued expenses and payables representing the fair value of the interest rate swaps and a corresponding decrease in the underlying debt for the same amount with no impact to earnings.
For each of the commodity hedge programs described below, the derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges. Assuming normal market conditions, the changes in the market value of such derivative contracts have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in price movements of the hedged item. Once the hedged item is recognized in earnings, the gains/losses arising from the hedge are reclassified from AOCI to either revenues, cost of products sold, interest expense or other income (expense) – net, as applicable. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has $80 million of after-tax losses in AOCI related to gains and losses from commodity cash flow hedge transactions. The Company expects to recognize all of these after-tax losses in its consolidated statement of earnings during the next 12 months.
The Company, from time to time, uses futures or options contracts to fix the purchase price of anticipated volumes of corn to be purchased and processed in a future month. The objective of this hedging program is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s forecasted purchases of corn. The Company’s corn processing plants currently grind approximately 76 million bushels of corn per month. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 16% and 51% of its monthly anticipated grind. At March 31, 2014, the Company has designated hedges representing between 0% and 71% of its anticipated monthly grind of corn for the next 21 months.
The Company, from time to time, also uses futures, options, and swaps to fix the sales price of certain ethanol sales contracts. Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company had established a hedging program for ethanol sales contracts that are indexed to unleaded gasoline prices. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company added a hedging program for ethanol sales contracts that are indexed to various exchange-traded ethanol contracts. The objective of these hedging programs is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the Company’s sales of ethanol. During the past 12 months, the Company hedged between 8 million and 92 million gallons of ethanol sales per month under these programs. For the next 12 months, the Company has designated hedges representing between 0 and 121 million gallons of ethanol sales per month.
The following table sets forth the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Hedge ineffectiveness for commodity contracts results when the change in the price of the underlying commodity in a specific cash market differs from the change in the price of the derivative financial instrument used to establish the hedging relationship. As an example, if the change in the price of a corn futures contract is strongly correlated to the change in cash price paid for corn, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is deferred and recognized at the time the corn grind occurs. If the change in price of the derivative does not strongly correlate to the change in the cash price of corn, in the same example, some portion or all of the derivative gains or losses may be required to be recognized in earnings prior to the corn grind occurring.
The following tables set forth the changes in AOCI related to derivatives gains (losses) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Of the $10 million in unrealized losses at March 31, 2014, $8 million arose within the last 12 months and are related to the Company’s investment in two available-for-sale equity securities with a fair value of $359 million. The market value of the Company's investment that has been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer is $4 million and is related to one available-for-sale equity security. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the impairment. Based on that evaluation and the Company’s ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of fair value, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014.

The Company does not bear any of the costs or risks associated with the related growing crops. The receivables are largely collateralized by future crops and physical assets of the suppliers, carry a local market rate, and settle when the farmers' crops are harvested and sold. The amounts are reported net of allowances of $14 million and $15 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Changes in the allowance for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 included an increase of $1 million for additional bad debt provisions and a reduction in the allowance for adjustments of $2 million. Interest earned on financing receivables of $8 million and $9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Note 7. | Debt and Financing Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes (the Notes) due in February 2014. On February 18, 2014, the Notes were repaid with available funds.
At March 31, 2014, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the carrying value by $1.1 billion, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards).
At March 31, 2014, the Company had lines of credit totaling $6.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion was unused. Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $4.0 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2014.
The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”). The Programs provide the Company with up to $1.5 billion in funding resulting from the sale of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2014, the Company utilized substantially all of its $1.5 billion facility under the Programs (see Note 12 for more information on the Programs).

Note 8. | Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 26.8% compared to 28.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to changes in the forecast of the geographic mix of pretax earnings.
The Company is subject to income taxation in many jurisdictions around the world. The Company is subject to routine examination by domestic and foreign tax authorities and frequently faces challenges regarding the amount of taxes due. These challenges include positions taken by the Company related to the timing, nature and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Resolution of the related tax positions, through negotiation with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, may take years to complete. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the timing for resolution of tax positions. In its routine evaluations of the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company recognizes a liability, when necessary, for estimated potential additional tax owed by the Company in accordance with the applicable accounting standard. However, the Company cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these ongoing or future examinations.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, ADM do Brasil Ltda. (ADM do Brasil), received three separate tax assessments from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (BFRS) challenging the tax deductibility of commodity hedging losses and related expenses for the tax years 2004, 2006, and 2007. As of March 31, 2014, these assessments, updated for estimated penalties, interest, and variation in currency exchange rates, totaled approximately $554 million. ADM do Brasil's tax return for 2005 was also audited and no assessment was received. The statute of limitations for 2005 and 2008 has expired. If the BFRS were to challenge commodity hedging deductions in tax years after 2008, the Company estimates it could receive additional claims of approximately $37 million (based on currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2014).
ADM do Brasil enters into commodity hedging transactions that can result in gains, which are included in ADM do Brasil's calculations of taxable income in Brazil, and losses, which ADM do Brasil deducts from its taxable income in Brazil. The Company has evaluated its tax position regarding these hedging transactions and concluded, based upon advice from Brazilian legal counsel, that it was appropriate to recognize both gains and losses resulting from hedging transactions when determining its Brazilian income tax expense. Therefore, the Company has continued to recognize the tax benefit from hedging losses in its financial statements and has not recorded any tax liability for the amounts assessed by the BFRS.
ADM do Brasil filed an administrative appeal for each of the assessments. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2004 assessment and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. In January of 2012, the appeal panel found in favor of the BFRS on the 2006 and 2007 assessments and ADM do Brasil filed a second level administrative appeal, which is still ongoing. If ADM do Brasil continues to be unsuccessful in the administrative appellate process, further appeals are available in the Brazilian federal courts. While the Company believes its consolidated financial statements properly reflect the tax deductibility of these hedging losses, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in the future recognition of additional payments of, and expense for, income tax and the associated interest and penalties. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2008.

Note 8. Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company's subsidiaries in Argentina have received tax assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports totaling $37 million (inclusive of interest and adjusted for variation in currency exchange rates) for the tax years 2004 and 2005. The Argentine tax authorities have been conducting a review of income and other taxes paid by large exporters and processors of cereals and other agricultural commodities resulting in allegations of income tax evasion. While the Company believes that it has complied with all Argentine tax laws, it cannot rule out receiving additional assessments challenging transfer prices used to price grain exports for years subsequent to 2005, and estimates these potential assessments to be approximately $450 million (as of March 31, 2014 and subject to variation in currency exchange rates). The Company intends to vigorously defend its position against the current assessments and any similar assessments that may be issued for years subsequent to 2005. The Company believes that it has appropriately evaluated the transactions underlying these assessments, and has concluded, based on Argentine tax law, that its tax position would be sustained, and accordingly, the Company has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments.
In accordance with the accounting requirements for uncertain tax positions, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not to prevail on the Brazil and Argentina matters based upon their technical merits. The Company has not recorded an uncertain tax liability for these assessments partly because the taxing jurisdictions' processes do not provide a mechanism for settling at less than the full amount of the assessment. The Company's consideration of these tax assessments requires judgments about the application of income tax regulations to specific facts and circumstances. The final outcome of these matters cannot reliably be predicted, may take many years to resolve, and could result in the payment and expense of up to the entire amount of these assessments.

Note 11. Segment Information
The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company's operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company's remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other.
Intersegment sales have been recorded at amounts approximating market. Operating profit for each segment is based on net sales less identifiable operating expenses. Also included in segment operating profit is equity in earnings of affiliates based on the equity method of accounting. Certain Corporate items are not allocated to the Company's reportable business segments. Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, and interest cost net of investment income. Corporate results also include the after-tax elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholders of Toepfer.
For detailed information regarding the Company's reportable segments, see Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 12. Sale of Accounts Receivable
Since March 2012, the Company has had an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the Program, certain U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Receivables, LLC (“ADM Receivables”). ADM Receivables in turn transfers such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $1.1 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). The Program terminates on June 27, 2014, unless extended.
In March 2014, the Company entered into a second accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”). Under the Second Program, certain non-U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Ireland Receivables Company (“ADM Ireland Receivables”). ADM Ireland Receivables in turn transfers such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Second Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Ireland Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $0.4 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). The Second Program terminates on March 20, 2015, unless extended.
Under the Program and Second Program (collectively, the "Programs"), ADM Receivables and ADM Ireland Receivables use the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers and other consideration to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred consideration. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility, based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.
As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Purchasers and Second Purchasers under the Programs and derecognized from the Company's consolidated balance sheet was $2.0 billion. In exchange for the transfer, the Company received cash of $1.4 billion and recorded a $0.6 billion receivable for deferred consideration included in other current assets. Cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $10.6 billion and $9.8 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All of the cash collections from customers on receivables sold were applied to the deferred consideration. Deferred consideration is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchasers and Second Purchasers as receivables are collected; however, as this is a revolving facility, cash collected from the Company's customers is reinvested by the Purchasers and Second Purchasers daily in new receivable purchases under the Programs.
The Company's risk of loss following the transfer of accounts receivable under the Programs is limited to the deferred consideration outstanding. The Company carries the deferred consideration at fair value determined by calculating the expected amount of cash to be received and is principally based on observable inputs (a Level 2 measurement under the applicable accounting standards) consisting mainly of the face amount of the receivables adjusted for anticipated credit losses and discounted at the appropriate market rate. Payment of deferred consideration is not subject to significant risks other than delinquencies and credit losses on accounts receivable transferred under the Programs which have historically been insignificant.
Transfers of receivables under the Programs resulted in an expense for the loss on sale of $1 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, classified as selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The Company reflects all cash flows related to the Programs as operating activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 because the cash received from the Purchasers and Second Purchasers upon both the sale and collection of the receivables is not subject to significantly different risks given the short-term nature of the Company's trade receivables.

Note 13. Subsequent Events
On April 15, 2014, the Company announced three significant actions in its portfolio management. The Company:

• | signed an agreement with The Mosaic Company to sell its fertilizer blending business in Brazil and Paraguay;

• | plans to pursue the sale of its chocolate processing assets while retaining the majority of the cocoa press operations; and

• | plans to acquire the remaining shares for full ownership of Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), currently an 80% owned global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products.

The Company considered whether the fertilizer blending business should be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2014, and determined that the requirements under the applicable authoritative accounting literature for held for sale accounting were not met.
The fertilizer sale and the Toepfer transaction are contingent on customary regulatory approvals.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Company Overview
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
The Company is principally engaged in procuring, transporting, storing, processing, and merchandising agricultural commodities and products. The Company uses its significant global asset base to originate and transport agricultural commodities, connecting to markets in more than 140 countries. The Company also processes corn, oilseeds, wheat and cocoa into products for food, animal feed, chemical and energy uses. The Company uses its global asset network, business acumen, and its relationships with suppliers and customers to efficiently connect the harvest to the home thereby generating returns for its shareholders, principally from margins earned on these activities.
The Company's operations are organized, managed and classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Each of these segments is organized based upon the nature of products and services offered. The Company's remaining operations are not reportable segments, as defined by the applicable accounting standard, and are classified as Other.
The Oilseeds Processing segment includes global activities related to the origination, merchandising, crushing, and further processing of oilseeds such as soybeans and soft seeds (cottonseed, sunflower seed, canola, rapeseed, and flaxseed) into vegetable oils and protein meals. Oilseeds products produced and marketed by the Company include ingredients for the food, feed, energy, and industrial products industries. Crude vegetable oils produced by the segment's crushing activities are sold “as is” or are further processed by refining, blending, bleaching, and deodorizing into salad oils. Salad oils are sold “as is” or are further processed by hydrogenating and/or interesterifying into margarine, shortening, and other food products. Partially refined oils are used to produce biodiesel or are sold to other manufacturers for use in chemicals, paints, and other industrial products. Oilseed protein meals are principally sold to third parties to be used as ingredients in commercial livestock and poultry feeds. In Europe and South America, the Oilseeds Processing segment includes origination and merchandising activities as adjuncts to its oilseeds processing assets. These activities include a network of grain elevators, port facilities, and transportation assets used to buy, store, clean, and transport grains and oilseeds. The Oilseeds Processing segment produces natural health and nutrition products and other specialty food and feed ingredients. The Oilseeds Processing segment is a major supplier of peanuts and peanut-derived ingredients to both the U.S. and export markets. In North America, cottonseed flour is produced and sold primarily to the pharmaceutical industry and cotton cellulose pulp is manufactured and sold to the chemical, paper, and filter markets. In South America, the Oilseeds Processing segment operates fertilizer blending facilities. The Oilseeds Processing segment also includes activities related to the procurement, transportation and processing of cocoa beans into cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, chocolate, and various compounds in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa for the food processing industry. The Oilseeds Processing segment also includes the Company's share of the results of its equity investment in Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) and its share of results for its Stratas Foods LLC and Edible Oils Limited joint ventures.
The Company's Corn Processing segment is engaged in corn wet milling and dry milling activities, with its asset base primarily located in the central part of the United States. The Corn Processing segment converts corn into sweeteners and starches, and bioproducts. Its products include ingredients used in the food and beverage industry including sweeteners, starch, syrup, glucose, and dextrose. Dextrose and starch are used by the Corn Processing segment as feedstocks for its bioproducts operations. By fermentation of dextrose, the Corn Processing segment produces alcohol, amino acids, and other specialty food and animal feed ingredients. Ethyl alcohol is produced by the Company for industrial use as ethanol or as beverage grade. Ethanol, in gasoline, increases octane and is used as an extender and oxygenate. Bioproducts also include amino acids such as lysine and threonine that are vital compounds used in swine feeds to produce leaner animals and in poultry feeds to enhance the speed and efficiency of poultry production. Corn gluten feed and meal, as well as distillers' grains, are produced for use as animal feed ingredients. Corn germ, a by-product of the wet milling process, is further processed into vegetable oil and protein meal. Other Corn Processing products include citric and lactic acids, lactates, sorbitol, xanthan gum, and glycols which are used in various food and industrial products. The Corn Processing segment includes the activities of a propylene and ethylene glycol facility and the Company's Brazilian sugarcane ethanol plant and related operations. This segment also includes the Company's share of the results of its equity investments in Almidones Mexicanos S.A., Eaststarch C.V., and Red Star Yeast Company LLC.
26

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Agricultural Services segment utilizes its extensive U.S. grain elevator, global transportation network, and port operations to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, rice, and barley, and resells these commodities primarily as food and feed ingredients and as raw materials for the agricultural processing industry. Agricultural Services' grain sourcing, handling, and transportation network provides reliable and efficient services to the Company's customers and agricultural processing operations. Agricultural Services' transportation network capabilities include barge, ocean-going vessel, truck, and rail freight services. The Agricultural Services segment also includes the activities related to the processing of wheat into wheat flour, the processing and distribution of formula feeds, animal health and nutrition products, and the procurement, processing, and distribution of edible beans. The Agricultural Services segment includes the activities of Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), an 80% owned global merchant of agricultural commodities and processed products. The Agricultural Services segment also includes the Company's share of the results of its Kalama Export Company joint venture and returns associated with the Company's investment in GrainCorp.
Other includes the Company's remaining operations, primarily its financial business units, related principally to futures commission and insurance activities.
Corporate results principally include the impact of LIFO-related inventory adjustments, unallocated corporate expenses, and interest cost net of investment income. Corporate results also include the after-tax elimination of income attributable to the minority shareholders of Toepfer.
Significant Portfolio Management Actions
On April 15, 2014, the Company announced three significant actions in its portfolio management. The Company:

• | signed an agreement with The Mosaic Company to sell its fertilizer blending business in Brazil and Paraguay;

• | plans to pursue the sale of its chocolate processing assets while retaining the majority of the cocoa press operations; and

• | plans to acquire the remaining shares for full ownership of Alfred C. Toepfer International (Toepfer), currently an 80% owned global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products.

The Company considered whether the fertilizer blending business should be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2014, and determined that the requirements under the applicable authoritative accounting literature for held for sale accounting were not met.
The fertilizer sale and the Toepfer transaction are contingent on customary regulatory approvals.
The Company believes these actions will help the Company continue to improve returns and create shareholder value.
Operating Performance Indicators
The Company is exposed to certain risks inherent to an agricultural-based commodity business. These risks are further described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company's oilseeds processing and agricultural services operations are principally agricultural commodity-based businesses where changes in selling prices move in relationship to changes in prices of the commodity-based agricultural raw materials. Therefore, changes in agricultural commodity prices have relatively equal impacts on both revenues and cost of products sold. Thus, changes in revenues of these businesses do not necessarily correspond to the changes in margins or gross profit.
The Company's corn processing operations and certain other food and animal feed processing operations also utilize agricultural commodities (or products derived from agricultural commodities) as raw materials. However, in these operations, agricultural commodity market price changes do not necessarily equal changes in cost of products sold. Thus, changes in revenues of these businesses may correspond to changes in margins or gross profit.
27

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The Company has consolidated subsidiaries in 74 countries. For the majority of the Company's subsidiaries located outside the United States, the local currency is the functional currency. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rates for the applicable periods. For the majority of the Company's business activities in Brazil, the functional currency is the U.S. dollar; however, certain transactions, including taxes, occur in local currency and require conversion to the functional currency. Fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, and Brazilian real, as compared to the U.S. dollar can result in corresponding fluctuations in the U.S. dollar value of revenues and expenses reported by the Company.
The Company measures the performance of its business segments using key financial metrics including net earnings, segment operating profit, return on invested capital, EBITDA, economic value added, and cost per metric ton. The Company's operating results can vary significantly due to changes in factors such as fluctuations in energy prices, weather conditions, crop plantings, government programs and policies, changes in global demand, general global economic conditions, changes in standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops. Due to these unpredictable factors, the Company does not provide forward-looking information in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Net earnings attributable to controlling interests was $267 million in the first quarter of 2014, similar to $269 million in the first quarter of 2013. Segment operating profit increased $61 million to $691 million, primarily due to improved ethanol results. Included in this quarter's segment operating profit was approximately $90 million of unrealized losses related to hedge timing effects; while segment operating profit in the prior year's quarter included approximately $40 million of unrealized losses related to hedge timing effects. These hedge timing effects represent hedge ineffectiveness on designated cash flow hedges and other mark-to-market timing impacts on certain cocoa and ethanol derivative contracts. Corporate charges increased $70 million to $325 million as a $125 million change in LIFO inventory reserves was partially offset by $12 million of lower net interest expense and the absence of the $25 million loss provision in last year's quarter related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) matter. Corporate results this quarter include a charge of $159 million from the effect of increasing agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves, compared to a charge of $34 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Income taxes decreased $7 million due to lower earnings before income taxes and a lower effective tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 26.8% compared to 28.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to changes in the forecast of the geographic mix of pretax earnings.
Market Factors Influencing Operations or Results
As an agricultural commodity-based business, the Company is subject to a variety of market factors which affect the Company's operating results. Demand for global protein meal and vegetable oil remained strong and steady. Export demand for North American corn and soybeans was strong, but logistical challenges, including rail delays and river freezes, caused higher costs. Corn and wheat markets were inverted, which limited opportunities for storage and merchandising margins. Corn sweetener demand declined slightly. Strong U.S. ethanol demand from both domestic and export markets combined with logistical and production challenges led to record ethanol margins, particularly in the second half of March 2014. Global buyers of soybean and related products started to shift to South American suppliers as the large South American harvest progressed. Cocoa press margins have continued to improve from last year when margins were negatively impacted by excess capacity.

Total | $ | 20,696 |  |  | $ | 21,727 |  |  | $ | (1,031 | )

Revenues decreased $1.0 billion, or 5% , to $20.7 billion due principally to lower average selling prices partially offset by higher sales volumes. Oilseeds Processing revenues decreased 4% to $7.8 billion due principally to lower average selling prices of soybeans and vegetable oil. Corn Processing revenues decreased 7% to $2.8 billion due principally to lower average selling prices for sweeteners and ethanol. Agricultural Services revenues decreased 5% to $10.0 billion primarily due to lower average selling prices for corn and soybeans and lower sales volumes of canola and wheat. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher sales volumes of corn and soybeans.
Cost of products sold decreased $1.0 billion to $20.0 billion due principally to lower average commodity costs partially offset by changes in LIFO reserves and higher manufacturing costs. Included in cost of products sold is a charge of $159 million from the effect of increasing agricultural commodity prices during this quarter on LIFO inventory valuation reserves compared to a charge of $34 million in the prior year's quarter. Manufacturing expenses increased $86 million due to higher energy costs and higher maintenance costs. Higher energy costs were driven by unusually high volatility of natural gas prices due primarily to supply interruptions impacted by the severe winter conditions.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $43 million to $393 million due principally to an approximate $20 million release of a reserve previously established in the second quarter of calendar year 2012 and the absence of the prior year charge of $25 million related to the FCPA matter.
29

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Interest expense declined $13 million to $93 million primarily due to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. During February 2014, the Company repaid $1.15 billion principal amount of convertible senior notes with available funds.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $5 million to $132 million primarily due to lower earnings from the Company's investment in Wilmar.
Other (income) expense – net increased $26 million to income of $23 million due principally to gains on disposal and a de-consolidation of individually insignificant assets.
Operating profit by segment and earnings before income taxes for the quarter are as follows:

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Oilseeds Processing operating profit increased $21 million to $334 million. Included in the current quarter operating profit is a charge of approximately $25 million for cocoa hedge timing effects, while the prior year quarter included a gain of approximately $5 million. Crushing and Origination operating profit increased $5 million to $161 million. Lower North American softseed margins were only partially offset by results from improved soybean crushing operations that benefited from high capacity utilization in a favorable margin environment caused by strong domestic and export protein meal demand. In South America, soybean crushing operations saw improved utilization, and the logistics network saw increased volumes as it began moving the large harvest to world markets. Current period South American origination results were not impacted by the prior year transportation problems. European crushing and origination results were essentially flat. Refining, Packaging, Biodiesel, and Other results improved $5 million to $113 million on improved European biodiesel results partially offset by a decline in North American biodiesel due to the absence of about $20 million in biodiesel tax credits recorded in the prior year's quarter. Cocoa and Other results improved $28 million to $6 million this quarter as cocoa press margins significantly increased partially offset by the negative effect of the mark-to-market timing effects discussed above. Asia results declined $17 million to $54 million, principally reflecting the Company's share of the results from its equity investee, Wilmar.
Corn Processing operating profit increased $43 million to $196 million. Included in the current quarter operating profit is a charge of approximately $65 million for corn hedge timing effects; while the prior year quarter included a charge of approximately $44 million. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Sweeteners and Starches operating profit decreased $13 million primarily due to lower average selling prices and a slight decrease in volumes. Excluding corn hedge timing effects, Bioproducts profit in the quarter improved by $77 million as solid demand for U.S. ethanol from domestic and export markets and lower industry production volumes caused by logistical and production challenges combined to drive a steadily improving margin environment throughout the quarter.
Agricultural Services operating profit was $153 million, similar to the amount in the prior year's quarter. Included in this quarter's operating profit was the release of a previously established reserve of approximately $20 million. Merchandising and Handling operating results declined $17 million to $69 million due principally to lower merchandising and storage margins caused by inverted U.S. corn and wheat markets and by increased costs related to the severe winter weather. Transportation operating profit recovered by $27 million to $33 million as pent-up freight demand caused by the winter weather conditions pushed freight rates up significantly as river traffic resumed late in the quarter. Milling and Other results declined $8 million to $51 million as an inverted wheat market reduced opportunities for grain and feed merchandising.
Other financial operating profit decreased $5 million to $8 million mainly due to lower results from the Company's captive insurance operations.
Corporate results for the quarter are as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  |
| March 31, |  |
| 2014 |  | 2013 |  | Change
| (In millions)
LIFO credit (charge) | $ | (159 | ) |  | $ | (34 | ) |  | $ | (125 | )
Interest expense - net | (93 | ) |  | (105 | ) |  | 12 |
Unallocated corporate costs | (80 | ) |  | (82 | ) |  | 2 |
Other charges | — |  |  | (25 | ) |  | 25 |
Minority interest and other | 7 |  |  | (9 | ) |  | 16 |
Total Corporate | $ | (325 | ) |  | $ | (255 | ) |  | $ | (70 | )

Corporate costs were $325 million this quarter compared to $255 million in last year's quarter. The effects of changing commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuations resulted in a charge of $159 million this quarter compared to a charge of $34 million in the prior year quarter. Interest expense - net declined $12 million due principally to lower outstanding long-term debt balances. Minority interest and other increased $16 million primarily due to a decline in income attributable to the minority shareholders of Toepfer. In 2013, other charges included a $25 million provision related to the FCPA matter.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources
A Company objective is to have sufficient liquidity, balance sheet strength, and financial flexibility to fund the operating and capital requirements of a capital intensive agricultural commodity-based business. The Company's strategy involves expanding the volume and diversity of crops that it merchandises and processes, expanding the global reach of its core model, and expanding its value-added product portfolio. The Company depends on access to credit markets, which can be impacted by its credit rating and factors outside of the Company's control, to fund its working capital needs and capital expenditures. The primary source of funds to finance the Company's operations, capital expenditures, and advancement of its growth strategy is cash generated by operations and lines of credit, including a commercial paper borrowing facility. In addition, the Company believes it has access to funds from public and private equity and debt capital markets in both U.S. and international markets.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had $1.5 billion of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities and a current ratio, defined as current assets divided by current liabilities, of 1.9 to 1. Included in working capital is $7.7 billion of readily marketable commodity inventories. Cash used in operating activities was $0.4 billion for the quarter compared to cash provided by operating activities of $0.4 billion the same quarter last year. Working capital changes decreased cash by $0.6 billion in the current quarter and were flat the same quarter last year. Inventories at March 31, 2014 were comparable to December 31, 2013. Trade payables declined approximately $0.9 billion principally reflecting cash used to pay for North American harvest-related grain purchases. Cash used in investing activities was $0.1 billion this quarter compared to cash provided by investing activities of $0.2 billion the same quarter last year. Capital expenditures and net assets of businesses acquired were $0.2 billion compared to $0.3 billion the same quarter last year. Cash used in financing activities was $1.5 billion this quarter compared to $0.8 billion the same quarter last year. In the current quarter, long-term debt payments increased as the $1.15 billion convertible debt matured in February 2014 and was paid with available cash.
At March 31, 2014, the Company's capital resources included net worth of $20.1 billion and lines of credit totaling $6.9 billion, of which $6.6 billion was unused. The Company's ratio of long-term debt to total capital (the sum of the Company's long-term debt and shareholders' equity) was 21% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. This ratio is a measure of the Company's long-term indebtedness and is an indicator of financial flexibility. Of the Company's total lines of credit, $4.0 billion support a commercial paper borrowing facility, against which there was no commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2014.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $0.5 billion of cash held by foreign subsidiaries whose undistributed earnings are considered permanently reinvested. Due to the Company's historical ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its U.S. operations and unused and available U.S. credit capacity of $4.0 billion, the Company has asserted that these funds are permanently reinvested outside the U.S.
The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs ( the “Programs”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers. The Programs provide the Company with up to $1.5 billion in funding against accounts receivable transferred into the Programs and expands the Company's access to liquidity through efficient use of its balance sheet assets (see Note 12 for more information and disclosures on the Programs).
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Company’s purchase obligations as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $19.6 billion and $16.6 billion, respectively. The increase is related to higher seasonal obligations to purchase additional quantities of agricultural commodity inventories and higher prices. As of March 31, 2014, the Company expects to make payments related to purchase obligations of $17.9 billion within the next twelve months. There were no other material changes in the Company’s contractual obligations during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs
In March 2014, the Company entered into a second accounts receivable securitization program (the “Second Program”) with certain commercial paper conduit purchasers and committed purchasers (collectively, the “Second Purchasers”) in order to further diversify funding of the Company's global working capital requirements. Under the Second Program, certain non-U.S.-originated trade accounts receivable are sold to a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote entity, ADM Ireland Receivables Company (“ADM Ireland Receivables”). ADM Ireland Receivables in turn transfers such purchased accounts receivable in their entirety to the Second Purchasers pursuant to a receivables purchase agreement. In exchange for the transfer of the accounts receivable, ADM Ireland Receivables receives a cash payment of up to $0.4 billion and an additional amount upon the collection of the accounts receivable (deferred consideration). ADM Ireland Receivables uses the cash proceeds from the transfer of receivables to the Second Purchasers and other consideration to finance the purchase of receivables from the Company and the ADM subsidiaries originating the receivables. The Company accounts for these transfers as sales. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred consideration. As of March 31, 2014, the fair value of trade receivables transferred to the Second Purchasers under the Second Program and derecognized from the Company's consolidated balance sheet was $0.4 billion. At March 31, 2014, the related deferred consideration of $0.1 billion was recorded in other current assets. Additional details of the Second Program are disclosed in Note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
There were no other material changes in the Company's off balance sheet arrangements during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in: commodity market prices as they relate to the Company’s net commodity position, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. Significant changes in market risk sensitive instruments and positions for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are described below. There were no material changes during the period in the Company’s potential loss arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
For detailed information regarding the Company's market risk sensitive instruments and positions, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Commodities
The availability and prices of agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as changes in weather conditions, crop disease, plantings, government programs and policies, competition, changes in global demand, changes in customer preferences and standards of living, and global production of similar and competitive crops.
The fair value of the Company's commodity position is a summation of the fair values calculated for each commodity by valuing all of the commodity positions at quoted market prices for the period, where available, or utilizing a close proxy. The Company has established metrics to monitor the amount of market risk exposure, which consist of volumetric limits and value-at-risk (VaR) limits. VaR measures the potential loss, at a 95% confidence level, that could be incurred over a one-year period. Volumetric limits are monitored daily and VaR calculations and sensitivity analysis are monitored weekly.
33

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (Continued)

In addition to measuring the hypothetical loss resulting from an adverse two standard deviation move in market prices (assuming no correlations) over a one-year period using VaR, sensitivity analysis is performed measuring the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in market prices. The highest, lowest, and average weekly position together with the market risk from a hypothetical 10% adverse price change is as follows:

|  | Three months ended |  | Year ended
|  | March 31, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
Long/(Short) |  | Fair Value |  | Market Risk |  | Fair Value |  | Market Risk
|  | (In millions)
Highest position |  | $ | (392 | ) |  | $ | (39 | ) |  | $ | 660 |  |  | $ | 66 |
Lowest position |  | (964 | ) |  | (96 | ) |  | (1,833 | ) |  | (183 | )
Average position |  | (708 | ) |  | (71 | ) |  | (959 | ) |  | (96 | )

The increase in fair value of the average position was principally the result of increase in commodity prices and increase in average quantities underlying the weekly commodity position.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is routinely involved in a number of actual or threatened legal actions, including those involving alleged personal injuries, employment law, product liability, intellectual property, environmental issues, alleged tax liability (see Note 8 for information on income tax matters), and class actions. The Company also routinely receives inquiries from regulators and other government authorities relating to various aspects of our business. The outcomes of these matters are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, including injunctive relief, that could require significant expenditures or result in lost revenues. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements for material loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from litigation and governmental proceedings involving the Company are inherently difficult to predict, particularly when the matters are in early procedural stages, with incomplete facts or legal discovery; involve unsubstantiated or indeterminate claims for damages; potentially involve penalties, fines, disgorgement, or punitive damages; or could result in a change in business practice.
On April 22, 2011, certain manufacturers and distributors of sugar cane and beet sugar products filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company, other manufacturers and marketers of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and the Corn Refiners Association, alleging that the defendants falsely claimed that HFCS is "natural" and nutritionally equivalent to sugar. The defendants have filed counterclaims against the plaintiffs. The court denied the parties' motions to dismiss, and the parties are currently engaged in a pretrial discovery.
The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding or environmental claim that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
