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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which 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, 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 the opinion expressed above. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP June 26, 2000 7 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The accounts of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Employee Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with The Northern Trust Company (the "Trustee") Trust Agreement, effective as of November 1, 1995. PLAN YEAR Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan year was amended to commence on December 31 of each year and end on the following December 30, with the exception of the 1998 Plan year which commenced on January 1, 1998 and ended on December 30, 1998. The Plan year ended December 30, 1999 represents the period of December 31, 1998 through December 30, 1999. TRUST ASSETS Savings plans sponsored by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain subsidiaries (the "Company") maintain their assets in a master trust administered by the Trustee. At December 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company sponsored five savings plans that participated in the master trust. The Plan's undivided interest in the trust is presented in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the allocation made by the Trustee. At December 30, 1999 and 1998, the Plan's undivided interest in the master trust was 63.8% and 64.7%, respectively. ASSET VALUATION The majority of the assets of the Plan are valued at fair market value. Investments in the Company Stock Fund are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the month. If no sales were reported on that date, the shares are valued at the last bid price. Investments held in the Stable Value Fund are invested in various instruments that have a rate of return, and are reported at contract value. Investments in the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, and the International Stock Equity Fund are valued based on units of participation in commingled funds and mutual funds as reported by the fund manager, which approximates fair market value. The allocation of assets, interest and dividend income, and realized and unrealized appreciation and depreciation is made based upon contributions received and benefits paid by each participating plan on a daily basis. -4- 9 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOME RECOGNITION Employer and employee contributions are recognized in Plan equity on the accrual basis of accounting. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Appreciation or depreciation on Company common stock distributed to participants is the difference between the weighted average cost and the current market value at the time of distribution. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Stable Value Fund of the Plan invests part of the fund in investment contracts of financial institutions with strong credit ratings and has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the basic financial statements and related notes to financial statements. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in future years. 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN: INCEPTION The Plan is a defined contribution plan which became effective July 1, 1984. ELIGIBILITY Effective January 1, 1999, all salaried employees, including officers, of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first enrollment date after completing three months of continuous service with the Company. Previously, the continuous service requirement was one year. At the end of the 1999 plan year, approximately 17,709 employees (16,975 in 1998) of the Company were eligible with approximately 13,746 employees (14,156 in 1998) participating in the Plan. -5- 10 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective December 31, 1999, the Celeron Corporation Employee Savings Plan was merged into The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Employee Savings Plan for Salaried Employees, and the Trust was merged into and made a part of the Trust maintained in connection with the Salaried Savings Plan. Effective January 1, 2000, the provisions of the Salaried Savings Plan and its related Trust shall govern with respect to the interests of the participants of the Plan. The assets were merged into the Salaried Plan in March 2000. VESTING Employee contributions are fully vested. Employer matching contributions become vested after the participant has completed four years of continuous service with the Company. CONTRIBUTIONS Eligible employees may elect to contribute any whole percent from 1% to 16% of earnings, including wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime and vacation pay into the Plan. Participating employees may elect to have their contributions invested in the Stable Value Fund, Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, or in any combination of these eight funds in multiples of 1%. The Company calculates and deducts employee contributions from gross earnings each pay period based on the percent elected by the employee. Employees may change their contribution percent any time up to the 15th day of the month for changes to be effective on the 1st day of the following month. Employees may transfer amounts attributable to employee contributions from one fund to the other on a daily basis. Eligible employees may enroll in the Plan effective on the 1st day of the month by enrolling by the 15th day of the prior month. Employees may suspend their contributions at any time effective immediately. Employees who are 52 years of age or older are able to transfer employer contributions from the Company Stock Fund into the Plan's other investment funds. The Plan has been established under section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, employee and employer contributions to the Plan are not subject to federal withholding tax, but are taxable when they are withdrawn from the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company determines the matching percent used as the employer contribution for each Plan year. The Company matching contributions are limited to the first 6% of employee contributions at the rate of 50% and employee contributions are limited to $10,000 in 1999 and 1998. -6- 11 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan was amended to permit the Company to establish a minimum contribution level for each Plan year. The minimum contribution is first satisfied from employee contributions and the remainder is satisfied by employer contributions. In the event the minimum contribution level exceeds the sum of the employee contributions and employer matching contributions, the excess is allocated to the participants' accounts to the extent permitted. The remainder is held in a suspense account which is applied to reduce employer contributions in the following Plan years. The calculation of the Company's matching contributions is not impacted by this amendment. INVESTMENTS The Trustee of the Plan maintains the following ten funds under the Plan: - Stable Value Fund - Employee contributions are invested in various investment contracts which provide for rates of return for particular periods of time. The Guaranteed Investment Contracts and the Short-Term Investments Fund are the current investments related to this fund. - Conservative Asset Allocation Fund - Employee contributions are invested in a commingled fund containing a portfolio of U.S. common stocks and bonds which provide an investment return similar to a portfolio invested 40% in the Russell 3000 Equity Index plus reinvested dividends and 60% in bonds which compose the Lehman Aggregate Long-Term Bond Index.

The closing price per share was $28.06 at December 31, 1999 ($50.44 at December 31, 1998). The common stock of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and the Short-Term Investments Fund are the current investments related to this fund. -8- 13 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS A Stable Value Fund, Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, Loan Investment Fund, and Company Stock Fund have been established for each participant in the Plan. All accounts are valued daily by the Trustee. Interest is automatically reinvested in each participant's respective accounts. Price fluctuations and dividends in common stock of the Company and companies in the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, and the Company Stock Fund are reflected in the unit value of the fund which affects the value of the participants' accounts. PLAN WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Participants may withdraw vested amounts from their accounts if they: - Attain the age of 59 1/2, or - Qualify for a serious financial hardship. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidelines governing financial hardship. Under the IRS guidelines, withdrawals are permitted for severe financial hardship. Contributions to the Plan are suspended for 12 months subsequent to a financial hardship withdrawal. Participant vested amounts are payable upon retirement, death or other termination of employment. All withdrawals and distributions are valued as of the end of the month they are processed, and are subject to federal income tax upon receipt. Any non-vested Company contributions are forfeited and applied to reduce future contributions by the Company. During 1999 and 1998, the Plan had forfeiture credits in the amounts of $353,367 and $164,378, respectively. LOAN INVESTMENT FUND Eligible employees may borrow money from their participant accounts. The minimum amount to be borrowed is $1,000. The maximum amount to be borrowed is the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of any loan during the preceding twelve month -9- 14 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- period, or 50% of the participant's vested account balance. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding at any time. The interest rate charged will be a fixed rate which will be established at the time of the loan application. The interest rate at the beginning of 1999 was 8.75%, which increased throughout the year to 9.50% at December 1999. The interest rate at the beginning of 1998 was 9.50%, which decreased throughout the year to 8.75% at December 1998. Loan repayments, with interest, are made through payroll deductions. If a loan is not repaid when due, the loan balance will be treated as a taxable distribution from the Plan. ROLLOVERS Effective January 1, 1999, the Plan was amended to permit employees, Plan participants, or former Plan participants to transfer eligible cash distributions from any other employer sponsored plan qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code into the Plan by a direct transfer from such other plan. EXPENSES Expenses of administering the Plan were paid partly by the Company and partly by the Trust. The payment of Trustee's fees and brokerage commissions associated with the Company Stock Fund are paid by the Company. Expenses related to the asset management of the investment funds are paid from such Funds which reduces the investment return reported and credited to participant accounts. TERMINATION PROVISIONS The Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue without interruption, but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event of termination, the obligation of the Company to make further contributions ceases. All participants' accounts would then be fully vested with respect to Company contributions. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: The Trustee serves as the fund manager of the S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund. The Company Stock Fund is designed primarily for investment in common stock of the Company. -10- 15 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. TAX STATUS OF PLAN: As described in Note 1 and 2, the Plan has been amended since receipt of the last determination letter dated May 22, 1995. On May 22, 1995, the IRS advised that the Plan is qualified in accordance with the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and the trust established with the Plan constitutes a qualified trust and is therefore exempt from federal income taxes. The Plan administrator is in the process of applying for a new determination letter and does not anticipate that changes in the Plan or other events occurring after the receipt of the IRS ruling will affect the qualification of the Plan or the tax exempt status of the Trust. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: Effective June 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to establish a Goodyear Stock Fund as an investment fund to which employee contributions can be allocated. Prior to June 1, 2000, the Company Stock Fund only maintained the employer matching contributions. The Plan was also amended effective June 1, 2000 to provide a self-directed account in which the participant may direct their investment or a portion of their account among a list of mutual funds selected by the Company and the Trustee. All assets of each self-directed account will be held and administered as a separate trust fund. 6.
