Business. --------- General Development of Business ------------------------------- The Procter & Gamble Company was incorporated in Ohio in 1905, having been built from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Today, the Company manufactures and markets a broad range of consumer products in many countries throughout the world. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term the "Company" as used herein refers to The Procter & Gamble Company (the registrant) and its subsidiaries. Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the Letter to Shareholders, which appears on pages 1-4 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. Financial Information About Industry Segments --------------------------------------------- The Company's products fall into five business segments: fabric and home care, paper, beauty care, health care, and food and beverage. Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 12, Segment Information, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which appears on page 38, and Financial Review, which appears on pages 13-23 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. Narrative Description of Business --------------------------------- The Company's business, represented by the aggregate of its fabric and home care, paper, beauty care, health care, and food and beverage segments, is essentially homogeneous. Many of the factors necessary for an understanding of these five segments are essentially identical. The markets in which the Company's products are sold are highly competitive. The products of the Company's business segments compete with many large and small companies, and there is no dominant competitor or competitors. Advertising is used in conjunction with an extensive sales force because the Company believes this combination provides the most efficient method of marketing these types of products. Product quality, performance, value and packaging are also important competitive factors. Most of the Company's products in each of its segments are distributed through food, drug, mass and other retail outlets. The laundry and diaper categories constitute approximately 20% and 12% of consolidated fiscal 2000 sales, respectively. These categories declined slightly as percentages of consolidated sales versus the prior year, but are comparable to the year before. The creation of new products and the development of new performance benefits for consumers on the Company's existing products are vital ingredients in its continuing progress in the highly competitive markets in which it does business. Basic research and product development activities continued to carry a high priority during the past fiscal year. While many of the benefits from these efforts will not be realized until future years, the Company believes these activities demonstrate its commitment to future growth. The Company has registered trademarks and owns or has licenses under patents which are used in connection with its business in all segments. Some of these patents or licenses cover significant product formulation and processing of the Company's products. The trademarks of all major products in each segment are registered. In part, the Company's success can be attributed to the existence of these trademarks, patents and licenses. Most of the raw materials used by the Company are purchased from others. Additionally, some raw materials, primarily chemicals, are produced by the Company for further use in the manufacturing process. The Company purchases and produces a substantial variety of raw materials, no one of which is material to the Company's business taken as a whole. Expenditures in fiscal year 2000 for compliance with Federal, State and local environmental laws and regulations were not materially different from such expenditures in the prior year, and no material increase is expected in fiscal year 2001. Operations outside the United States are generally characterized by the same conditions discussed in the description of the business above and may also be affected by additional elements including changing currency values and different rates of inflation and economic growth The Company has approximately 110,000 employees. Additional information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 8, Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and Note 9, Postretirement Benefits, which appear on pages 35-37; Note 12, Segment Information, which appears on page 38; Financial Highlights, which appears on page 39; and Financial Review, which appears on pages 13-23 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.

Company sales by geography for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 were as follows: North America - 54%; Europe, Middle East and Africa - 28%; Asia - 11% and Latin America - 7%. The North American percentage increased slightly versus prior years primarily due to the acquisition of Iams.

Item 2. Properties. ---------- In the United States, the Company owns and operates manufacturing facilities at 41 locations in 23 states. In addition, it owns and operates 93 manufacturing facilities in 45 other countries. Fabric and home care products are produced at 47 of these locations; paper products at 48; health care products at 26; beauty care products at 34; and food and beverage products at 15. Management believes that the Company's production facilities are adequate to support the business efficiently and that the properties and equipment have been well maintained. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. ----------------- The Company is involved in clean-up efforts at off-site Superfund locations, many of which are in the preliminary stages of investigation. The amount accrued at the end of June 30, 2000 representing the Company's probable future costs that can be reasonably estimated was $7 million. The Company is the subject of a lawsuit alleging damages under the U.S. Securities laws relating to our March 7, 2000 and June 8, 2000 earnings releases. While the effect of future results of these suits is not currently subject to reasonable estimation, management presently believes that the ultimate liability arising from such claims will not materially affect the Company's financial condition.

Market for the Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters ----------------------------------------------------------- The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to Shareholder Information, which appears on the inside back cover of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. Item 6. Selected Financial Data ----------------------- The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to Financial Highlights, which appears on page 39 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The information required by this item is incorporated by reference to Financial Review, which appears on pages 13-23; Note 2, Organization 2005, which appears on pages 30-31; Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, which appears on page 37; and Note 12, Segment Information, which appears on page 38 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The Company has made and will make certain forward-looking statements in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 and in other contexts relating to volume growth, increases in market shares, Organization 2005, financial goals and cost reduction, among others. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates regarding competitive activity, pricing, product introductions, economic conditions, technological innovation, currency movements, governmental action and the development of certain markets. Among the key factors necessary to achieve the Company's goals are: (1) the successful implementation of Organization 2005, including the achievement of expected cost and tax savings and successful management of organizational and work process restructuring; (2) the ability to achieve business plans, including volume growth and pricing plans, despite high levels of competitive activity; (3) the ability to maintain key customer relationships; (4) the achievement of growth in significant developing markets such as China, Mexico, the Southern Cone of Latin America and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe; (5) the ability to successfully manage regulatory, tax and legal matters, including resolution of pending matters within current estimates; (6) the successful execution of planned minor brand divestitures; (7) the ability to successfully implement cost improvement plans in manufacturing and overhead areas; and (8) the ability to successfully manage currency, interest rate and certain commodity cost exposures. If the Company's assumptions and estimates are incorrect or do not come to fruition, or if the Company does not achieve all of these key factors, then the Company's actual performance could vary materially from the forward-looking statements made herein.
