Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and the Employee Welfare

Benefits Plan Committee of FMC Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

(1) Description of the Plan

The following description of the FMC Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

(a) General

The Plan is a qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code , which covers substantially all full-time employees of FMC Corporation (the Company) (other than employees who generally reside or work outside of the United States). Such employees are eligible to participate in the Plan immediately upon commencement of their employment with the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the Employee Welfare Benefits Plan Committee of FMC Corporation.

(b) Contributions

Effective January 1, 2004, participants may elect to defer not less than 2% and no more than 50% of their annual compensation, and contribute it to the Plan’s trust on a pretax basis up to the Internal Revenue Service maximum for 2005 of $14,000. Participants who are age 50 or older by the end of the plan year may choose to contribute pretax catch-up contributions, up to a maximum of $4,000. Participants may also elect to make after-tax contributions, either as an alternative to pretax contributions or in addition to the maximum pretax contributions of $14,000 (but not more than 50% of their total compensation in the aggregate). For eligible employees participating in the Plan, except for those employees covered by certain collective bargaining agreements, the Company makes matching contributions ranging from 40% to 100% of the portion of those contributions up to 5% of the employee’s compensation (Basic Contribution), regardless of the $14,000 limit on pretax contributions. Total annual contributions from all sources, other than catch-up contributions, are limited to the Internal Revenue Code Section 415(c) limit of the lesser of 100% of compensation or $42,000.

(c) Trust

The Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company (the Trustee) established a trust (the Trust) for investment purposes as part of the Plan. The Trustee is also the Plan’s recordkeeper.

(d) Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct his or her contributions in 1% increments to each investment option selected. Investment options include the following:

FMC Stock Fund – Funds are invested in common stock of FMC Corporation.

Clipper Fund – Funds are invested in common stock of corporations that is considered undervalued by the fund manager, and in long-term bonds.

Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund – Funds are invested primarily in common stock of well-known and established companies.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2005 and 2004

Royce Special Equity Institutional Class – Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stock of companies with market capitalizations less than $1 billion, attempting to find inexpensive companies with high returns on assets and low leverage. The fund invests in companies whose price is significantly lower than the fund managers’ assessment of their economic value.

Sequoia Fund – Fund investments are concentrated in a relatively small number of mostly U.S.-headquartered companies that the fund manager believes have long-term growth potential.

Spartan International Index Fund – Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in common stock included in: the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, and the Far East Index (MSCI EAFE Index) which represents the performance of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada.

(e) Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s contributions and related earnings is applied using a graded scale that is based on years of service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of service.

(f) Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service due to retirement, death, disability, or attainment of age 59 1 / 2 , etc., any participant or, if applicable, their beneficiary, may elect to immediately receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the vested balance of his or her account. For the period of January 1, 2005 through March 27, 2005, participants or beneficiaries whose accounts were valued at not less than $5,000 upon termination, were able to elect to defer their lump-sum distribution or receive installments (annually, quarterly, or monthly) over a period of 20 years or less or over the life expectancy of the participant. Effective March 28, 2005, the above amount was changed to $1,000 in order to comply with the automatic rollover requirements of The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA).

(g) Participant Withdrawals and Loans

The Plan allows participants to make hardship cash withdrawals (subject to income taxation and Internal Revenue Service penalties) from some or all of their vested account balances. Withdrawals from participants’ after-tax and rollover accounts may be made at any time. Eligible participants may also receive money from the Plan in the form of loans. The minimum that may be borrowed is $1,000. The maximum that may be borrowed is the lesser of $50,000, as adjusted, or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance. Loans must be repaid over 60 months with interest at the announced Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II – Class 2 Fund rate or some other reasonable rate as determined by the Company.

(h) Forfeited Accounts

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $232,899 and $274,758, respectively. These accounts will be used to pay for future plan expenses and may be used to reduce future employer contributions. Also, in 2005 and 2004, approximately $253,032 and $100,649, respectively, in plan expenses were paid from forfeited nonvested accounts.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:

(a) Basis of Accounting

The Plan’s financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

(b) Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition

Quoted or estimated market prices and Net Asset Value (NAV) for mutual fund and stock (FMC Corporation) funds are used to value investments except for certain benefit-responsive investment contracts with banks and insurance companies that guarantee repayment of principal with interest at a fixed or fixed minimum rate for a specified period of time. These contracts are valued at contract value, which approximates market value. Participants’ loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value. Security transactions are recorded in the financial statements on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(d) Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

(e) Expenses

The compensation and expenses of the Trustee are paid by the Company. All other expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Trustee out of the assets of the Plan and constitute a charge upon the respective investment funds or upon the individual participants’ accounts as provided for in the Plan.

During 2004, the Plan received proceeds of approximately $652,000 from the demutualization of Prudential Financial, which was related to a predecessor plan. The proceeds along with any earnings thereon are to be used to pay plan-related expenses in the future that would otherwise be paid for by plan participants.

(5) Related-Party Transactions

Certain plan investments are managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management and certain administrative services amounted to $337,104 and $191,714 for the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(6) Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated May 22, 2000, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code . The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code .

(7) Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Plan and ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their account balances.

(8) 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 the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
