Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Administrative Committee
The Home Depot FutureBuilder:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Home Depot FutureBuilder (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 Administrative Committee. 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. 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 benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for 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, Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2009, 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 Administrative Committee. 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.

| (1) | Description of the Plan |
The following is a brief description of The Home Depot FutureBuilder (the Plan). Participants should refer to the plan document or the summary plan description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
| (a) | General |
The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. associates of The Home Depot, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company). Associates are eligible to participate in the Plan for purposes of making before-tax contributions after completing 90 days of service. Participants are eligible for the Company’s matching contributions on the first day of the calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1) coincident with or following the completion of 12 months of service and 1,000 hours. Temporary associates are eligible to make before-tax contributions following the completion of 12 months of service and 1,000 hours. The Plan excludes leased associates, nonresident aliens, and associates covered by a collective bargaining agreement, unless the terms of the collective bargaining agreement require that the associate be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the Administrative Committee, the members of which are officers of Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Home Depot, Inc.
| (b) | Contributions |
Under the 401(k) portion of the Plan, participants may contribute up to 50% of annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, on a pretax basis subject to regulatory limitations, and participants age 50 or older can make catch-up contributions to the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing eligible rollover distributions from other qualified retirement plans. The Company provides matching contributions of 150% of the first 1% of eligible compensation contributed by a participant and 50% of the next 2% to 5% of eligible compensation contributed by a participant beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter following the completion of 12 months of service and 1,000 hours. Additional amounts may be contributed at the option of the Administrative Committee. The default for investment of the Company’s matching contribution if no direction is given is the participant’s current investment election with respect to before-tax contributions. If the participant has made no affirmative investment election with respect to before-tax contributions, the default was the BlackRock Balanced Fund (formerly Barclays Global Investors (BGI) Balanced Fund) prior to November 6, 2008 and the appropriate LifePath Fund based on the participant’s age effective on and after November 6, 2008.
Employee stock ownership contributions were made solely by the Company and at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (ESOP contributions). The Company made its last ESOP contribution in February 1999. The Plan was amended to eliminate ESOP contributions for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2007.
| (c) | Participant Accounts |
The Plan maintains a separate account for each participant, to which contributions and investment performance are allocated.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
| (d) | Vesting |
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and net value changes thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching and discretionary contributions and net value changes thereon is generally based on years of vesting service. A participant is cliff vested 100% in the Company’s matching contributions after three years of vesting service.
Vesting for the ESOP contributions and earnings or losses thereon is based on years of service, as follows:
|
Years of service |
Vesting Percentage | |
| 3 | 20% | |
| 4 | 40 | |
| 5 | 60 | |
| 6 | 80 | |
| 7 or more | 100 |
Each participant who completes an hour of service on or after January 1, 2010 becomes 100% vested in the Company’s matching contributions and ESOP contributions upon completing five years of employment if such event precedes the vesting dates above.
A participant becomes 100% vested in the Company’s matching and ESOP contributions and net value changes thereon upon death, attaining age 65 while still employed, total or permanent disability, or if the Plan is terminated.
| (e) | Distributions |
Upon death, disability, termination of service for any other reason, or attaining age 59 1/2, participants or beneficiaries may elect to receive a lump-sum payment of their vested account balance at fair value on the date of distribution in the form of cash or Company stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
| (f) | Participant Loans |
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 minus the highest outstanding loan balance in the preceding 12 months or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to four years. The loans bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1% at the time of the loan. Certain loans with terms greater than four years remain outstanding, including certain loans rolled over from retirement plans of acquired companies. Participant loans are carried at amortized cost.
| (g) | Forfeited Accounts |
Forfeited nonvested accounts are used to reduce Plan expenses and future employer contributions. In 2009 and 2008, forfeitures in the amount of $2,742,711 and $3,992,382, respectively, were used to reduce Plan expenses and/or employer contributions.

| (h) | Administrative Expenses |
Certain administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Company. These costs include legal, accounting and certain administrative fees. Expenses paid by the Plan include all administrative costs not paid by the Company.
| (2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Plan in preparing its financial statements.
| (a) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The Plan evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued.
| (b) | Investment Valuation and Income Recognition |
Shares of registered investment companies, the TimesSquare Mid-Cap Growth Strategy Fund and the Schwab Personal Choice Retirement Account (PCRA) are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The JP Morgan Stable Value Fund is valued as described below. All other investments in units of collective trusts are valued at the respective net asset values as reported by such trusts. The Company’s common stock is valued at its quoted market price as obtained from the New York Stock Exchange. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The investment in short-term investment funds of The Northern Trust Company is reported at fair value as determined by The Northern Trust Company based on the quoted market prices of the securities in the fund.
The JP Morgan Stable Value Fund invests primarily in guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts with insurance companies which are fully benefit-responsive. These investments are presented at the fair value of units held by the Plan as of December 31 in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits including separate disclosure of the adjustment to contract value, which is equal to principal balance plus accrued interest. As provided in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 962 (formerly known as Staff Position FSP AAG INV-1 and Statement of Position No. 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans”), an investment contract is generally valued at contract value, rather than fair value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive. The fair value of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts is calculated using the market approach discounting methodology which incorporates the difference between current market level rates for contract level wrap fees and the wrap fee being charged. The difference is calculated as a dollar value and discounted by the prevailing interpolated swap rate as of period-end. Additional information on the JP Morgan Stable Value Fund is discussed in Note 3.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Plan’s investments include funds which invest in various types of investment securities and in various companies within various markets. Investment securities are exposed to several risks, such as interest rate, market, credit, and individual country and currency risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the
6
THE HOME DEPOT FUTUREBUILDER
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Plan’s financial statements and the supplemental schedule.
| (c) | Payment of Benefits |
Benefits are recorded when paid.
| (d) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee of the Plan to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| (e) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value, with the exception of the Plan’s fully benefit-responsive investment contracts which, though stated at fair value, are adjusted to contract value within the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. In addition, the carrying amount of receivables and liabilities is a reasonable approximation of the fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
| (f) | Reclassifications |
Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net assets available for benefits.
| (3) | JP Morgan Stable Value Fund |
The Plan invests in a separate account, the JP Morgan Stable Value Fund (the Fund), which owns fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. As a result of ASC 962, the Plan’s investment in the Fund is presented at fair value in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits with an adjustment from fair value to contract value of $15,976,511 and $38,144,690 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value of the Fund as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $449,683,458 and $436,036,810, respectively. The fair value of the Fund equals the total of the fair value of the underlying assets plus the fair value of the wrap contract, which is calculated using the market approach discounting methodology, which incorporates the difference between current market level rates for the contract level wrap fees and the wrap fee being charged. The difference is calculated as a dollar value and discounted by the prevailing interpolated swap rate as of year end.
A synthetic guaranteed investment contract (GIC), also known as a wrap contract, is an investment contract issued by an insurance company or other financial institution, designed to provide a contract value “wrapper” around a portfolio of bonds or other fixed income securities that are owned by the Fund. The assets underlying the Fund’s wrap contracts are units of fixed income collective investment trusts (Aegon, Bank of America, Royal Bank of Canada and State Street Bank with credit ratings of AA-, A+, AA- and
7
THE HOME DEPOT FUTUREBUILDER
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
AA-, respectively). The wrap contracts are obligated to provide an interest rate not less than zero. These contracts provide that realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying assets are not reflected immediately in the net assets of the Fund, but rather are amortized, over the duration of the underlying assets, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate. The issuer guarantees that all qualified participant withdrawals will occur at contract value.
The Plan’s interest in the underlying fixed income collective investment trusts in which the Fund invests is calculated by applying the Fund’s ownership percentage in these underlying fixed income collective investment trusts to the total fair value of the underlying fixed income collective investment trusts. The underlying assets owned by the Fund consist primarily of readily marketable fixed income securities with quoted market prices.
The interest crediting rate is determined quarterly and is primarily based on the current yield to maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market value and the contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered investments at the time of computation. There is no relationship between future crediting rates and the adjustments to contract value reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
The average market yield of the Fund for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 3.42% and 5.48%, respectively. The average yield earned by the Fund that reflects the actual interest credited to participants for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was 2.27% and 3.27%, respectively.
| (4) | Tax Status |
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated April 9, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and, therefore, is exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Administrative Committee of the Plan believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
| (5) | 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 terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
| (6) | Investments |
The Plan’s investments are held in a Master Trust by the Trustee of the Plan, The Northern Trust Company, as more fully described in Note 7. Plan participants may direct the investment of their accounts on a daily basis in a number of investment options available under the Plan. A description of the Plan’s investment options follows:
| • | The Home Depot, Inc. Common Stock Fund – Fund invests in common stock of The Home Depot, Inc. Effective September 17, 2008, this fund was frozen with respect to new contributions. |
| • | JP Morgan Stable Value Fund – Fund is a separate account that invests in high quality fixed income securities. |

| (8) | Fair Value Measurements |
The fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, rather than the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
| • | Level 1 - inputs use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Plan has the ability to access. |
| • | Level 2 - inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. |
| • | Level 3 - inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability. |
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.

The Plan’s interest in the Master Trust investment in the JP Morgan Stable Value Fund is the only separate account investment within Level 2. The fair value of units held in collective trust funds are based on their net asset values, as the Plan elected the practical expedient under the accounting guidance to measure the fair value of certain funds that use net asset value per unit. Net asset values are reported by the funds and are supported by the unit prices of actual purchases and sale transactions occurring as of or close to the financial statement date (level 2 inputs).
| (9) | Related-Party Transactions |
Certain Plan investments include shares of common stock issued by The Home Depot, Inc., the Plan Sponsor. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held a combined total of 17,952,026 and 20,556,645 shares valued at approximately $28.93 and $23.02 per share, respectively. Additionally, dividends received by the Plan include dividends paid by The Home Depot, Inc. totaling $17,038,171 and $19,516,079 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These transactions constitute party-in-interest transactions since The Home Depot, Inc. is the Plan Sponsor.
Plan investments include units of short-term investment funds managed by The Northern Trust Company. The Northern Trust Company is the Trustee as defined by the Plan and a Plan fiduciary, and therefore, these transactions constitute party-in-interest transactions.
