EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Savings Plan for Union Employees of Unilever (the “Plan”) is filing this amendment to its Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Form 11-K”) because it erroneously indicated in the initial filing of the Form 11-K that the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm was subject to that firm’s approval when, in fact, the firm signed the report.  The notation regarding the need for the firm’s approval has been deleted in this amendment.  In addition, in the initial filing of the Form 11-K, the Plan inadvertently omitted the conformed signature of the authorized signatory.  The conformed signature is now included on the signature page of this filing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Savings Plan for Union Employees of Unilever

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Savings Plan for Union Employees of Unilever (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  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 of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted 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.

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Contributions

Plan participants are permitted to make voluntary contributions to the Plan through payroll deductions.  Before-tax contributions, representing 401(k) contributions are deposited in a “before-tax account” and after-tax contributions, where applicable, are deposited in an “after-tax account.”  Before-tax contributions are limited to $16,500 and $15,500 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Participants who will be age 50 or older by the end of the Plan year are eligible to make before-tax catch-up contributions.  Catch-up contributions are limited to $5,500 and $5,000 for eligible employees for 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The permitted contributions vary for each collective bargaining unit at the discretion of the Company and range from 1%-15% to 1%-20% of eligible compensation through payroll deductions on a before-tax basis, after-tax basis or a combination of both.

The Company matches contributions made by participants.  These contributions are recorded in a “company matching account”.  Company matching contributions vary for each collective bargaining unit at the discretion of the Company and range from 25% of 4% to 100% of 5% of eligible earnings participants elect to contribute.

All collective bargaining employees at the Hammond plant hired on or after January 12, 2007, the Huntington plant hired on or after June 30, 2007, at the Baltimore plant hired on or after April 1, 2008,  the Olathe plant represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 41 hired on or after June 1, 2008, the Chicago plant represented by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union AFL-CIO, CLC Local 399 hired on or after November 22, 2008 and the Chicago plant represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers AFL-CIO Local 100A hired on or after December 16, 2008 are eligible to receive non-elective contributions of 4% of compensation after one Year of Service.

All contributions are deposited in the Master Trust.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with: (a) the participant’s contribution (b) the Company’s contribution, and (c) an allocation of Plan earnings (losses) and administrative expenses.  Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the vested portion of the participant’s account.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 1,600 and 1,682 participants with account balances in the Plan, respectively.

Vesting

Participants are fully vested in their contributions as well as the earnings thereon.

Vesting of matching and non-elective contributions, made by the Company, varies for each collective bargaining unit at the discretion of the Company.   Collective bargaining units can achieve full vesting from the date of hire through three years of service.

Non-elective contributions vest after 3 years of service, upon attainment of age 65, death from active status or disability for all participants receiving non-elective employer contributions.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

The balance of forfeitures was $2,992 and $7,897 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Amounts forfeited by non-vested participants who terminated employment during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2,879 and $5,859, respectively.  Forfeitures reduced Company matching contributions and Company non-elective contributions in the amount of $8,078 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Payment of Benefits

Provisions for the withdrawal of contributions of active participants vary for each collective bargaining unit at the discretion of the Company and include in-service withdrawals of the after-tax account, prior plan profit sharing account, portion of company matching account on deposit for 2 years, before-tax account for reasons of hardship provided the withdrawal does not exceed the amount of the hardship, and company matching account following attainment of age 59.5.

Upon termination of employment, participants are entitled to all of their vested balances and must receive their full balance upon reaching the age of 65.

Retired employees may elect to leave their account balances in the Plan until they attain age 70.5 at which time Internal Revenue Service regulations require minimum distributions to be made. Failure to make a voluntary election to defer payment will result in a total distribution of vested Plan balances at age 65.

Participants who retire under the provisions of certain defined benefit plans sponsored by the Company may, under certain conditions, roll over their lump sum distribution to the Plan.

Investments

Participants have the option to invest in, and direct the Company matching contributions towards a wide variety of funds including stable value, fixed income, balanced, equity and the Unilever N.V. Stock Fund.  The funds are as follows:

·               The INVESCO (also known as PRIMCO) Interest Income Fund is primarily invested in a diversified portfolio of investment contracts issued by high quality financial institutions such as insurance companies and banks.  Each contract has its own specific terms, including interest rate and maturity date.  The crediting interest rates at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for the contracts range from .25% to 5.71% and 2.08% to 5.01%, respectively.  The average crediting interest rates at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for the contracts are 4.31% and 4.50%, respectively.

·               PIMCO Total Return Fund Institutional Class, Unilever N.V. Stock Fund, Fidelity Contrafund, American Funds Washington Mutual Investors Fund (R5) (introduced October 16, 2008), Northern Trust Total US Equity Index Fund (introduced July 1, 2008) and the Northern Trust International Equity Index Fund (introduced July 1, 2008).

Administration

The Plan provides that the Benefits Administration Committee is responsible for the general administration of the Plan.

2.                          Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Savings Plan for Union Employees of Unilever

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the Financial Accountign Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 105”).  The statement confirmed that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) is the single official source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) (other than guidance issued by the SEC), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force, and related literature.  The Codification does not change GAAP.  Instead, it introduces a new structure that is organized in an easily accessible, user friendly online research system.  The Codification, which changed the referencing of financial standards, is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009.  Thereafter, only one level of authoritative GAAP exists.  All other literature is considered non-authoritative.  The adoption of ASC 105 did not impact the Plan’s financial statements.

Valuation of Plan Investments and Income Recognition

On December 31, 2008, the GHB Plan merged into the Plan.  The assets of the Plan have been commingled in the Master Trust with the assets of the UniCare Savings Plan for investment and administrative purposes.  The investment in the Master Trust represents the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust.  The Plan’s investment is stated at fair value and is based on the beginning of the year value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust plus contributions and allocated investment income (loss) less distributions and allocated expenses.  Participants’ loans are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

The Plan presents in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits the investment income (loss) for the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust, which consists of its allocated share of investment income and (loss), realized gains and losses, and the change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation from the Master Trust.

The Plan’s interest in the Master Trust represents more than 5 percent of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Investment Contracts (See Also Note 4)

The Plan accounts for synthetic guaranteed investment contracts at contract value in accordance with Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies (“ASC 946”) of the Codification.  ASC 946 clarifies the definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts for contracts held by defined contribution plans along with the financial statement presentation and disclosure of such contracts.  Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  As required by ASC 946, the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

Benefit Payments

Benefit payments are recorded when paid and include deemed distributions of $16,980 and $25,124 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Administrative Expenses

Investment management fees for all funds and certain professional fees are paid by the Plan.  All other administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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 at the date of the financial statements.  These significant estimates include fair market values of investments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, commingled funds, mutual funds, and other investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the December 31, 2009 and 2008 Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

The Master Trust is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the companies with whom guaranteed investment contracts are placed.  However, the Plan does not anticipate non-performance by these companies and believes that the risk to the Master Trust portfolio from credit loss is not material due to the diversified nature of assets held.

Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. Subsequently in June 2009 this was codified as part of Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) of the Codification, reaffirming that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The guidance reaffirms the need to use judgment in determining if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when the market has become inactive. The guidance also requires disclosures by major category about the attributes of investments consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued Update 2009-12 - Investment in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent) to ASC 820. This update provides guidance on estimating the fair value of a company’s investments in investment companies when the investment does not have a readily determinable fair value.  It permits the use of the investment’s net asset value as a practical expedient to determine fair value. This guidance also required additional disclosure of the attributes of these investments such as: (i) the nature of any restrictions on the reporting entity’s ability to redeem its investment; (ii) unfunded commitments; and (iii) investment strategies of the investees. This guidance is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Plan’s financial condition or results of operations and all applicable disclosures are included in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

In January 2010, the FASB issued Update 2010-06 — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, to ASC 820.  This guidance requires: (i) separate disclosure of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and reasons for the transfers; (ii) disclosure, on a gross basis, of purchases, sales, issuances, and net settlements within Level 3; (iii) disclosures by class of assets and liabilities; and (iv) a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 disclosure requirements, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Plan is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Subsequent Events

The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.   Based on this evaluation, the Plan’s administrator has determined that no subsequent events have occurred which require disclosure in the financial statements.

3.                          Tax Status of the Plan

The Plan received an updated favorable tax determination letter dated May 4, 2009 in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  The original letter was effective October 5, 2005.  Although the Plan has been amended since then, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s legal counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.  The IRS reserves the right to perform a review of the Plan’s tax status.

4.                          Investments Held by the Master Trust

At December 31, 2009, the Master Trust comprises the assets of the Plan, UNICare Savings Plan and all affiliated plans of Unilever US.  The Plan has a 7.3% and a 7.7% interest in the investments of the Master Trust as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The UNICare Savings Plan comprises approximately 92.7% and 92.3% respectively, of the investments held by the Master Trust as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.  Certain investment assets of the Master Trust, related earnings (losses) and expenses are allocated to the plans participating in the Master Trust based upon the total of each individual participant’s share of the Master Trust.

The Plan’s approximate share of various investments held by the Master Trust at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Investment valuation and income recognition of Master Trust

Master Trust investments are stated at fair value.  Investments in mutual funds are valued at the published net asset value of shares held at year end.  Investments in commingled funds are stated at fair value based on unit values provided by the administrator, which are based on market values of underlying investments.  Unilever N.V. common stock is valued at the last close price at end of the year. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which is cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.  Investment contracts are stated at fair value based on the sum of the fair value of the underlying investments and the fair value of the wrapper.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the trade date.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest is recorded on the accrual basis.

Investment income (loss) for the Master Trust includes net appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as well as, interest and dividends from investments.  The net appreciation (depreciation) of investments held in the Master Trust consists of the realized gains (losses) and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on these investments.

Investment contracts

The Master Trust entered into benefit-responsive investment contracts, such as synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (“GICs”), with various third party financial institutions.  These benefit-responsive investment contracts are held through the INVESCO Interest Income Fund (the “Fund”).  Contract values represent contributions made to the investment contract plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.

A synthetic GIC provides for a fixed return on principal over a specified period of time through fully benefit-responsive wrapper contracts issued by third party financial institutions which are backed by underlying assets owned by the Master Trust.  The wrapper contract amortizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments, typically over the duration of the investments through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate (which is the rate earned by participants in the Fund for the underlying investments).  The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future interest crediting rate that is less than zero.  An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest.

Calculating the Interest Crediting Rate in Wrapper Contracts

The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include:

·                  The level of market interest rates

·                  The amount and timing of participant contributions, transfers, and withdrawals into/out of the wrapper contract

·                  The investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract

·                  The duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract

Wrapper contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a monthly or quarterly basis.  While there may be slight variations from one contract to another, most wrapper contracts use a formula that is based on the characteristics of the underlying fixed income portfolio.  Over time, the crediting rate formula amortizes the Fund’s realized and unrealized market value gains and losses over the duration of the underlying investments.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Because changes in the market interest rates affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments, they can have a material impact on the wrapper contract’s interest crediting rate.  In addition, participant withdrawals and transfers from the Fund are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the underlying investments, which also impacts the interest crediting rate.  The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the contract value are presented on the Plan’s Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the “Adjustment from Fair Value to Contract Value”.  If the Adjustment from Fair Value to Contract Value is positive for a given contract, this indicates that the contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments.  The embedded market value losses will be amortized in the future through a lower interest crediting rate than would otherwise be the case.  And if the Adjustment from Fair Value to Contract Value figure is negative, this indicates that the contract value is less than the market value of the underlying investments.  The amortization of the embedded market value gains will cause the future interest crediting rate to be higher than it otherwise would have been.

All wrapper contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent.  In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrapper contract are satisfied, the wrapper issuers will pay to the Plan the shortfall needed to maintain the interest crediting rate at zero.  This helps to ensure that participants’ principal and accrued interest will be protected.

Events That Limit the Ability of the Plan to Transact at Contract Value

In certain circumstances, the amount withdrawn from the wrapper contract would be payable at fair value rather than at contract value.  These events include termination of the Plan, a material adverse change to the provisions of the Plan, if the employer elects to withdraw from a wrapper contract in order to switch to a different investment provider, or if the terms of a successor plan (in the event of the spin-off or sale of a division) do not meet the wrapper contract issuer’s underwriting criteria for issuance of a clone wrapper contract.  The events described above that could result in the payment of benefits at market value rather than contract value are not probable of occurring in the foreseeable future.

Issuer-Initiated Contract Termination

Examples of events that would permit a wrapper contract issuer to terminate a wrapper contract upon short notice include the Plan’s loss of its qualified status, un-cured material breaches of responsibilities, or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan.  If one of these events was to occur, the wrapper contract issuer could terminate the wrapper contract at the market value of the underlying investments.

For the Master Trust, the contract values of the synthetic GICs were approximately $551 million and $585 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the fair value of the synthetic GICs, based upon the fair value of underlying assets and wrapper contracts was greater than the contract value by $25.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the average yields for synthetic GICs were as follows:

Fair value measurements

ASC 820 provides the framework for measuring fair value.  That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this standard are described as follows:

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

· Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

· Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Mutual Funds

A mutual fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is based on the value of underlying assets owned by the Fund minus its liabilities and then divided by the number of shares outstanding calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. The fund’s assets normally are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund’s NAV.  Since the NAV is a quoted price in a market that is active, they are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts

The fair value of the synthetic guaranteed investment contracts is based on the underlying investments. The underlying investments are common/collective trust funds, which are public investment vehicles, valued at the NAV as described above. Because the NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  The value of the wrapper contracts is determined using observable inputs including rebid rates from the wrapper provider.  The fair value of the wrapper contracts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $613,757 and $812,811, respectively is included in the synthetic guaranteed investment contracts amount of the Master Trust shown below.

Commingled Funds

These investments are public investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is a quoted price in a market that is not active and classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  Each common/collective trust fund provides for daily redemptions by the Plan at reported net asset values per share with no advance notice requirement.

Unilever N.V. Common Stock

Unilever N.V. common stock is valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape and is classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Short-term Investment Funds

The Short-term Investment funds are valued at quoted market prices in an active market, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

In accordance with the guidance relating to fair value measurements, the following table represents the Master Trust’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

5.         Transactions with Related Parties and Parties-in-Interest

The Unilever N.V. Stock Fund invests in shares of Unilever N.V. Stock.  This fund is designed as a means for employees to participate in the potential long-term growth of Unilever N.V.  The Master Trust held approximately 1,920,000 and 1,956,000  shares at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of common stock in Unilever N.V.  The Master Trust also earned dividend income from the common stock of approximately $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  The Master Trust had sales and purchases of Unilever N.V. Stock of approximately $20.1 million and $16.7 million in 2009 and $23.7 million and $29.3 million in 2008, respectively.

Certain Master Trust investments consist of units in investment funds managed by Fidelity.  Fidelity owns these investment funds, and is a party-in-interest as defined by ERISA.  In the opinion of the Plan administrator, fees paid during the year for services rendered by parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such services.  The administration fees paid by the Plan during 2009 and 2008 disclosed on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits were paid to Fidelity.
