REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of the Procter & Gamble 1-4-1 Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Procter & Gamble 1-4-1 Plan (“the Plan”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005. 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 from material misstatement. The plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include 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, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005

| 1. |
| --- |
| The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble 1-4-1 Plan (“Plan”) is provided for
general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
complete information. |
| General — The Plan is a share purchase plan established on October 1, 2002 by The Procter &
Gamble Company (“Company”), replacing the Procter & Gamble Matched Savings Share Purchase Plan,
which ceased to be tax efficient from this date, to provide a means for eligible UK employees
to tax efficiently purchase shares in the Company. The Plan is administered by Capita IRG
Trustees Limited who were appointed by the Trustees of the Plan and hold the Plan assets on
behalf of the Trustees of the Plan. |
| Contributions — Employees can contribute up to 2.5% of their salary/wage, subject to a minimum
monthly contribution of £10. The participating Procter & Gamble companies (see note 8) match
all contributions by employees in full. |
| Contributory shares — Represent shares purchased using the employee’s own contributions. |
| Matching shares — Represent shares purchased using matched contributions. |
| Dividend shares — Represent shares purchased using dividend income related to the employee’s
shares. |
| Participant Accounts — Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each
participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the participating
Procter & Gamble company’s matching contribution, and allocations of Plan earnings, and charged
with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant
earnings or account balances, as defined. The distribution to which a participant is entitled
is limited to the shares that can be provided from the participant’s account. |
| Vesting — Participants are vested immediately in all shares allocated to their account. |
| Investments — Participants are only permitted to invest in Company common stock. Any dividends
on shares of Company common stock are invested in additional shares of Company common stock. |
| Participant Loans — Under the terms of the Plan agreement, participants are not permitted to
borrow funds from their account balance. |
| Distributions and Withdrawals — Participants may withdraw contributory shares from the Plan at
any time; however, participants who withdraw contributory shares from the Plan within five
years of acquisition will become liable for UK income tax and national insurance. Participants
cannot withdraw matching shares from the Plan within 5 years of purchase, and cannot withdraw
dividend shares from the Plan within 3 years of purchase, unless the participant ceases to be an employee of the
participating Procter & Gamble companies. |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Plan management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits
and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan invests in
Company common stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in values of investment
securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition — The Plan’s investment in Company common stock is
stated at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices and is translated into sterling at
the rate of exchange at June 30. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date
basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Cash at Bank and In Hand — Amounts shown as cash at bank and in hand are uninvested funds held
that are to be invested in Company common stock in the following month.
Expenses of the Plan — Investment management expenses and all other fees and expenses are paid
by the participating Procter & Gamble companies (see Note 8).
Distributions and Withdrawals (Amounts due to others) — Distributions and withdrawals to
participants are recorded upon distribution. Amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have
elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid were £40,982 and £18,370 at June
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
3. INVESTMENTS

appreciation (depreciation) in value as follows for the years ended
