REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees Share Ownership Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees Share Ownership Plan (“the Plan”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three 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 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. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005

1.		PLAN DESCRIPTION
		The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble Ireland Employees Share Ownership 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 by Procter & Gamble (Manufacturing) Ireland Limited and Procter & Gamble Limited (“Companies”) to provide a means for eligible Irish employees to tax efficiently purchase shares in The Procter & Gamble Company (“Parent”). The Plan is administered by Mercer Limited who were appointed by the Trustees of the Plan and who hold the Plan assets on behalf of the Trustees of the Plan.
		Contributions- Employees can contribute up to 2.5% of their base salary. The participating Procter & Gamble companies (see note 6) match all contributions by employees in full.
		Distributions and Withdrawals - Participants may withdraw shares from the Plan at any time subject to the following Plan rules. Participants who withdraw shares from the Plan within 3 years of purchase become liable for income tax. Participants who withdraw shares from the Plan after 3 years can do so without attracting any income tax.
		Participant Accounts – Individual accounts are maintained for each plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participants’ contribution, the participating Procter & Gamble companies’ (see Note 7) 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 benefit to which a participant is entitled is limited to the shares that can be provided from the participant’s account.
		Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, the participating Procter & Gamble companies matching contributions and earnings.
		Investments – Participants are only permitted to invest in Company common stock. Any dividends on shares of Company common stock are separately payable to participants in accordance with the Plan agreement.
2.		SUMMARY OF 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.
		Expenses of the Plan - Investment management expenses and all other fees and expenses are paid by the participating Procter & Gamble Companies (see note 6).
		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.

EMPLOYEES SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN

		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 net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The plan invests in The Procter & Gamble Company and J.M. Smucker 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 The Procter & Gamble Company common stock and J.M. Smucker Company common stock is stated at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices and is translated into Euros at the rate of exchange at 30 June.
		Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
3.		INVESTMENTS
		The Plan’s investment in The Procter & Gamble Company and J M Smucker Company common stock experienced net appreciation (depreciation) in value as follows for the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006, and 2005:

		2007				2006				2005
		€				€				€
Unrealized (depreciation) appreciation			68,357				(20,127	)			(119,699	)

4.		TAX STATUS
		The Irish Tax Authority has determined and informed the Companies that it is an approved Employee Share Scheme under Irish tax legislation. Therefore, the Plan Administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as of June 30, 2007 and 2006 and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
5.		DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE
		Distributions payable represent dividends and proceeds from disposals owed to participants and were €79,992 and €37,885 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Dividends received by the Plan are separately payable to participants in accordance with the Plan agreement.
