Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Retirement Plans Committee
Wal-Mart Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Wal-Mart Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended January 31, 2007. 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement’s 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 at January 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended January 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) as of January 31, 2007, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Wal-Mart Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
1. Description of the Plan
The following description of the Wal-Mart Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information regarding the Plan as in effect on January 31, 2007. This document is not part of the Summary Plan Description and is not a document pursuant to which the Plan is maintained within the meaning of Section 402(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions. To the extent not specifically prohibited by statute or regulation, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart” or the “Company”) reserves the right to unilaterally amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time, and such changes may be applied to all Plan participants and their beneficiaries regardless of whether the participant is actively working or retired at the time of the change. The Plan may not be amended, however, to permit any part of the Plan’s assets to be used for any purpose other than for the purpose of paying benefits to participants and their beneficiaries and paying Plan expenses.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which was established by the Company on February 1, 1997, as the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. The Plan was amended, effective October 31, 2003, to merge the assets of the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan applicable to United States participants into the Plan. In connection with the merger, the Plan was renamed Wal-Mart Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan.
Each eligible employee who was a participant in the Plan as of October 31, 2003, shall continue to be a participant hereunder from and after November 1, 2003, as long as such individual continues to be an eligible employee. Each eligible employee who was not a participant in the Plan as of October 31, 2003, and has completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a consecutive 12-month period commencing on date of hire (or during any plan year) is eligible to participate in the Plan. Participation may begin on the first day of the month following eligibility. The Plan is subject to the provisions of ERISA.

January 31, 2007
1. Description of the Plan (continued)
The responsibility for operation, investment policy, and administration of the Plan (except for day-to-day investment management and control of assets) is vested in the Retirement Plans Committee of the Company. Retirement Plans Committee members are appointed by the Company’s Vice-President, Retirement and Savings Plans Department, with ratification of a majority of sitting committee members.
The trustee function of the Plan is performed by Merrill Lynch Investment Managers LLC (the “Trustee”). The Trustee receives and holds contributions made to the Plan in trust and invests those contributions as directed by participants and according to the policies established by the Retirement Plans Committee. The Trustee makes payouts from the Plan in accordance with the Plan document. The Trustee is affiliated with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., the parent corporation of the Trustee. The Trustee is affiliated with Blackrock Investment Management, LLC, manager of the Merrill Lynch Equity Index Fund and the Merrill Lynch Retirement Preservation Fund, which are investment options offered under the Plan to participants. The Trustee is the record-keeper for the Plan.
Contributions
All eligible associates participate in the Plan and may elect to contribute from one percent to 25 percent of their eligible wages. Certain highly compensated associate contributions may be further limited under the terms of the Plan. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the calendar year are eligible to make catch-up contributions. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans (rollover contributions). Whether or not a participant contributes to the Plan, he or she will receive a portion of the Company’s Qualified Non-Elective contributions and Profit Sharing contributions if the associate meets certain eligibility requirements. To be eligible to receive Company contributions, the participant must complete at least 1,000 hours of service during the Plan year for which the contributions are made, as well as be employed on the last day of that Plan year.
Wal-Mart’s contributions are discretionary and can vary from year to year. At the end of each Plan year, the Board of Directors of the Company, or its authorized committee or delegate, at their discretion, determines the Company’s contributions (if any). The Company’s contribution for each participant will be based on a percentage of the participant’s eligible wages for the Plan year. For the Plan year ended January 31, 2007, the discretionary contribution percentage was two percent of eligible participants’ compensation for each of the Company’s Qualified Non-Elective contribution and the Company’s Profit Sharing contribution. Such contributions are subject to certain limitations in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

1. Description of the Plan (continued)
Participants’ Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with earnings (losses) net of administrative expenses which are determined by the investments held in each participant’s account; the participant’s contribution; and an allocation of (a) the Company’s contributions to the Plan made on the participant’s behalf, and (b) forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested Profit Sharing contributions and forfeited unclaimed checks. Allocations of forfeitures to participants are based on eligible wages. As of January 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited nonvested Profit Sharing contributions and unclaimed check forfeitures to be reallocated to the remaining participants totaled approximately $40 million and $29 million, respectively.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in all elective contributions, catch-up contributions, Qualified Non-Elective contributions, rollover contributions, tax credit contributions and Profit Sharing Plan rollover contributions. A participant’s Profit Sharing contributions vest based on years of service at a rate of 20% per year from years three through seven. Profit Sharing contributions become fully vested upon the participant retirement at age 65 or above, or total and permanent disability or death.
Payment of Benefits and Withdrawals
Generally, payment upon a participant’s separation from the Company (and its controlled group members) is a lump-sum payment or five-year annual installments in cash for the balance of the participant’s vested account. However, participants may elect to receive a single lump-sum payment of their Profit Sharing contributions in whole shares of Company stock, with partial or fractional shares paid in cash even if such contributions are not invested in Company stock. Participants may also elect to receive a single lump-sum payment of their Qualified Non-Elective contribution in whole shares of Company stock, with partial or fractional shares paid in cash, but only to the extent such contributions are invested in Company stock as of the date distributions are processed. To the extent the participant’s Profit Sharing and Qualified Non-Elective contributions are not invested in Company stock, the contributions will automatically be distributed in cash, unless directed otherwise by the participant. Participants may also elect to rollover their account balance into a different tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account upon separation from the Company (and its controlled group members).
The Plan permits withdrawals of active participants’ salary reduction contributions and rollover contributions only in amounts necessary to satisfy financial hardship as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). In-service withdrawal of vested balances may be elected by participants who have reached 69 1/2 years of age.

Plan Termination
While there is no intention to do so, the Company may discontinue the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of complete or partial Plan termination, or discontinuance of contributions to the Plan, participants’ accounts shall be immediately vested. The Plan shall remain in effect (unless it is specifically terminated) and the assets shall be administered in the manner provided by the terms of the trust agreement and distributed as soon as administratively feasible.
Investment Options
A participant or former participant may direct the Trustee to invest any portion of his/her elective contributions, catch-up contributions, Qualified Non-Elective contributions and rollover contributions in available investment options. Participant investment options include a variety of mutual funds, a common/collective trust, Wal-Mart common stock, and a stable value fund, which consists of a money market fund, a common/collective trust, and traditional and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts. Participants may change their selections at any time.
Participants’ Profit Sharing contributions and Profit Sharing Plan rollover contributions are invested at the direction of the Retirement Plans Committee for participants with less than seven years of service. Participants with at least seven years of service may direct the Trustee to invest such contributions in available investment options.
Participant investments not directed by the associate shall be invested by the Trustee as directed by the Retirement Plans Committee.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
Shares of mutual funds are valued at published prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end based on the underlying fair value of the assets held by the fund. Shares of money market funds are stated at cost which approximates fair value. Wal-Mart common stock is stated at fair value, which equals the quoted market price on the last business day of the year. Investments in common/collective trust funds are stated at the fair value of the underlying assets determined by the Trustee. Traditional and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts held by the Plan through a stable value fund are considered to be fully benefit-responsive and are recorded at fair value, then adjusted to contract value (Note 3). Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the contract rates less withdrawals. Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Benefit payments are recorded when paid. Company contributions are recorded by the Plan in the period in which they were accrued by the Company. Company contributions to the Plan related to the year ended January 31, 2007, were paid in March 2007.
The Company bears the majority of costs associated with administering the Plan, except for certain expenses paid by the Plan participants.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)
Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG INV-1 and Statement of Position (SOP) 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 (the FSP). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment contract is considered fully benefit-responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure requirements for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts in defined contribution health and welfare and pension plans. The financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the FSP are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006, and are required to be applied retroactively to all prior periods presented for comparative purposes. The Plan has adopted the provisions of the FSP at January 31, 2007.
As required by the FSP, investments in the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits include fully benefit-responsive investment contracts recognized at fair value. American Institute of Certified Public Accountants SOP 94-1-1, Reporting of Investment Contracts Held by Health and Welfare Benefits Plans and Defined Contribution Pension Plans, amended, requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value in the Plan’s statement of net assets available for benefits with a corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value. The requirements of the FSP have been applied retroactively to the statement of net assets available for benefits as of January 31, 2006, presented for comparative purposes. Adoption of the FSP had no effect on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for any period presented.
3. Retirement Preservation Fund Investments
The Plan’s Retirement Preservation Fund (“RPF”) is a stable value investment option for the Plan’s participants and participants in the Wal-Mart Puerto Rico Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. The RPF is invested in a money market fund, a common/collective trust (the “Retirement Preservation Trust”), traditional guaranteed investment contracts (“GIC’s”), and synthetic GIC’s. The synthetic GIC’s are secured by underlying fixed income assets. The crediting interest rates on all investment contracts ranged from 2.8% to 5.8% for the year ended January 31, 2007, and from 2.8% to 5.7% for the year ended January 31, 2006. Average duration for all investment contracts was 2.7 years and 2.8 years at January 31, 2007, and January 31, 2006, respectively. There are no reserves against the contract value for credit risk of the contracted issuer or otherwise.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Retirement Preservation Fund Investments (continued)
Traditional GICs issued by an insurance company are valued by calculating the sum of the present values of all projected future cash flows of each investment. The discount rate used is provided by other similar maturity investment contracts at year-end. The fair values of the synthetic GIC wrapper contracts are determined by the difference between the present value of the replacement cost of the wrapper contract and the present value of the contractually obligated payments in the original wrapper contract. The underlying investments in the synthetic GICs are debt securities that are traded primarily in over-the-counter market and are valued at the last available bid price in the over-the-counter market or on the basis of values obtained by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrixes that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models.
The Fund enters into book value investment contracts (BVCs), also known as synthetic investment contracts. BVCs are comprised of both investment and contractual components. The investment component consists of collective investment funds and a pooled portfolio of actively managed fixed income securities owned by the Fund, referred to as Covered Assets. This investment component is “wrapped” by contracts (Wrapper Agreements) issued by third-party financial institutions (generally insurance companies or banks) (Wrapper Providers). These Wrapper Agreements generally provide for participant benefit withdrawals and investment transfers at the full contract value of the Wrapper Agreement (i.e., principal plus accrued interest) nothwithstanding the actual market value of the underlying investments (i.e., fair value of Covered Assets plus accrued interest). In this manner, Wrapper Agreements are designed to protect the Fund from investment losses as a result of movements in interest rates. However, the Wrapper Agreements generally do not protect the Fund from loss if an issuer of covered assets defaults on payments of principal or interest. A default by the issuer of a covered asset or Wrapper Provider on its obligation could result in a decrease in the value of the Fund’s assets. The Fund pays wrapper fees to the Wrapper Providers. Wrapper fees are negotiated separately with each issuer and are generally calculated based on a specified percentage of contract value.
In general, if the contract value of the Wrapper Agreement exceeds the market value of the Covered Assets (including accrued interest), the Wrapper Provider becomes obligated to pay that difference to the Fund in the event that redemptions result in a total contract liquidation. In the event that there are partial redemptions that would otherwise cause the Wrapper Agreement’s crediting rate to fall below 0%, the Wrapper Provider is obligated to contribute to the Fund an amount necessary to maintain the contract’s crediting rate at not less than 0%. The circumstances under which payments are made and the timing of payments between the Fund and the Wrapper Provider may vary based on the terms of the Wrapper Agreement.

3. Retirement Preservation Fund Investments (continued)
A synthetic GIC provides for a guaranteed principal plus any credited interest that has accrued over a specified period of time through benefit-responsive wrapper contracts issued by a third party which are backed by underlying assets. The fair value on the synthetic GIC’s is approximately $419,360,000 and $309,938,000 at January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in the fair value of the synthetic GIC’s is approximately $237,000 and $0 at January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, attributable to wrapper contracts.
All investment contracts held in the portfolio at January 31, 2007 and 2006, are fully benefit-responsive. All contracts are effected directly between the RPF, with Merrill Lynch as the Trustee, and the wrapper or issuer of the benefit-responsive feature. The RPF, with Merrill Lynch as the Trustee, is prohibited from assigning or selling the contract to another party without the consent of the wrapper of issuer.
All benefit-responsive contracts held in the portfolio at January 31, 2007 and 2006, require that either the repayment of principal and interest credited to participants in the RPF is a financial obligation of the issuer of the investment contract or a wrapper contract provides assurance that the interest crediting rate will not be less than zero. No event has occurred such that realization of full contract value for a particular investment contract is no longer probable.
The RPF invests in the Retirement Preservation Trust, a stable value collective trust fund. All investment contracts held in the Retirement Preservation Trust have been individually evaluated for benefit-responsiveness and all are fully benefit-responsive. There are no restrictions on access to funds for the payment of benefits.
The RPF allows participants daily access to the funds. The terms of the investment contracts held in the portfolio at January 31, 2007 and 2006, permit all participant-initiated transactions with the RPF to occur at contract value with no conditions, limits or restrictions. Permitted participant initiated transactions are those transactions allowed by the Plan, such as withdrawals for benefits, loans, or transfer to other funds within the Plan. There is no probability of events occurring that would limit the ability of the RPF to transact at contract value for participant initiated transactions.

3. Retirement Preservation Fund Investments (continued)
The interest crediting rate for each investment contract is determined as follows: the current dollar duration yield to maturity of the underlying investments plus or minus an adjustment for any difference between the contract value and fair value of securities taken over the contract value and the duration of the securities. The key factors that could influence future crediting rates are changes to market interest rates, changes in the market value of securities, changes in the duration or weighted average life of securities and deposits or withdrawals to investment contracts. All investment contracts have a 0.0% minimum interest crediting rate. All investment contracts are reset at least quarterly, although under certain circumstances such as a large deposit or withdrawal, they may be reset more frequently.
As interest rates rise, the market value of the underlying securities declines and when interest rates fall, the market value of the underlying securities rises. The relationship to future interest crediting rates based on a change in interest rates up or down will generally have minimal impact on the crediting rate since the change in rates will generally be offset by the change in market value, except when there is a change in duration. Duration is a measure of average life of all cash flows in the portfolio on a present value basis. A change in duration when market values decline (interest rates rise) will reduce the crediting rate if duration shortens and increase the crediting rate if duration lengthens. A change in duration when market values rise (interest rates fall) will increase the crediting rate when duration falls and decrease the crediting rate when duration rises. Finally, any deposit or withdrawal to the investment contract will impact the crediting rate based on the relative size of the deposit or withdrawal.
The average yield earned by the entire RPF (which may differ from the interest rate credited to participants in the RPF) was 5.60% and 5.32% at January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This average yield was calculated by dividing the annualized earnings of all investments in the RPF (irrespective of the interest rate credited to participants in the RPF) by the fair value of all investments in the RPF.
The average yield earned by the entire RPF with an adjustment to reflect the actual interest rate credited to participants in the RPF was 4.89% and 4.49% at January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This average yield was calculated by dividing the annualized earnings credited to participants in the RPF (irrespective of the actual earnings of the investments in the RPF) by the fair value of all investments in the RPF.

3. Retirement Preservation Fund Investments (continued)
The type of events that could potentially limit the ability of the RPF to transact at contract value could include premature termination of the contracts by the Plan, location closings, layoffs, plan termination, bankruptcy, mergers, and early retirement incentives. The likelihood of the occurrence of these events that would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with the participants in the Plan is not probable. The RPF also maintains a liquidity protocol such that benefit-responsive contracts are insulated in the portfolio access structure and 69.8% and 71.6% as of January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, insulates these benefit-responsive contracts.
The issuer may terminate a benefit-responsive contract with the RPF, with Merrill Lynch as the Trustee, including, but not limited to, a failure of the RPF, with Merrill Lynch as the Trustee, to comply with contractual requirements; a material mis-representation of the RPF, with Merrill Lynch as the Trustee; failure to remain a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code; or a merger or termination of the Plan. Upon such an event which remains uncured, the issuer may terminate at a settlement amount other than the contract value.
4. Investments
The Trustee holds the Plan’s investments and executes all investment transactions. The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and market 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 participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
During the 2007 Plan year, the Plan’s investments (including investments purchased, sold, and held during the year) appreciated in value as follows:

5. Non-Participant-Directed Investments (continued)
The above tables represent the net assets available for benefits for both the 401(k) and Profit Sharing Investments. The investment amounts in the above tables include a portion that is participant-directed, as the participant-directed investments cannot be segregated from the total.

Amounts related to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are recorded on the Form 5500 at fair value and in the financial statement at contract value.
7. Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated June 8, 2004, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
8. Related-Party Transactions
Certain Plan investments are shares of common stock of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and shares of a common/collective trust and a stable value fund managed by Blackrock Investment Management, LLC. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is the Plan sponsor, and Merrill Lynch is the trustee and record-keeper as defined by the Plan, and Blackrock Investment Management LLC is an affiliate of the Trustee, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the trustee and record-keeping services amounted to approximately $4.4 million for the year ended January 31, 2007.

9. Subsequent Events
The Plan was amended, effective February 1, 2007, to change the following provisions:
| • | The five-year annual installment distribution option was removed as a plan option for all distributions that occur after the effective date. |
| • | Participants or former participants who have completed at least three years of service may elect to direct the Trustee to invest any portion of his or her Profit Sharing Contribution Account and PSP Rollover Contribution Account in specific assets or other available investments options. |
| • | Increased participant elective contribution deferrals up to 50% of his or her compensation that would have been received but for the deferral election. |
