THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. The results of
operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2002
are not indicative necessarily of annual results.

2. Comprehensive Income - Total comprehensive income is comprised primarily of
net earnings, net currency translation gains and losses, net investment
hedges, net unrealized gains and losses on securities and cash flow hedges.
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 was $787 million and $882 million, respectively. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, total comprehensive income was $3,095
million and $3,101 million, respectively.

3. Segment Information - The basis for presenting segment results generally is
consistent with overall Company reporting. The primary difference relates
to partially-owned operations, where net sales through before-tax earnings
are reflected in the business segments as if wholly owned and adjusted to
U.S. GAAP in corporate. The corporate segment also includes certain
financing and investment activities, intangible asset amortization and
goodwill amortization in the prior year, charges related to restructuring,
and other general corporate income and expense items. Additionally, for
interim periods certain non-recurring tax impacts are reflected on a
discrete basis for management and segment reporting purposes, but are
eliminated in corporate to arrive at the Company's effective tax rate for
the quarter.

</TABLE>



4. Acquisitions - During the third quarter, the Company completed an early
buyout of the purchase price contingency associated with the prior
acquisition of Dr. John's Spinbrush. The revised total purchase price is
approximately $475 million, with the incremental payment resulting in
additional goodwill.

On November 16, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Clairol
business from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for approximately $5 billion in
cash, financed primarily with debt. Total cash paid includes current period
final purchase price adjustments based on a working capital formula. The
Clairol business consists of hair care, hair colorants and personal care
products with approximately $1.6 billion in annual net sales and provides
the Company an entry into the hair coloring market, while providing
potential for significant synergies and minimal initial dilution. The
operating results of the Clairol business are reported in the Company's
beauty care business segment from the date of acquisition.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations, effective July 1, 2001. Accordingly, the acquisition
was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The consolidated
financial statements include the results of Clairol from November 16, 2001.
The Company is in the process of finalizing third party independent
appraisals of the fair value of the individual assets and liabilities
acquired in order to complete the allocation of the purchase price. We
anticipate finalizing the valuations in the fourth quarter and will make
the adjustments at that time as changes to various assets and liabilities
including goodwill and other intangible assets. Although it is anticipated
there will be changes to the initial allocation, we do not expect them to
have a material impact on the results of operations in future periods.

The following table provides pro forma results of operations for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, as if Clairol had been
acquired as of the beginning of each fiscal year presented. The pro forma
results include certain adjustments, including estimated interest expense
on acquisition debt and amortization of intangible assets, excluding
goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles. However, pro forma results do
not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned
integration of Clairol. Accordingly, such amounts are not necessarily
indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had
occurred on the dates indicated, or that may result in the future.

5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - In accordance with SFAS No. 142,
effective July 1, 2001, the Company discontinued the amortization of
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful
lives. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be
amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill will be assessed annually for
impairment.

The impact of discontinuing amortization of goodwill and indefinite lived
intangible assets on net income, basic and diluted earnings per share for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001 is $56 million, or $0.04 per share on a
basic and fully diluted basis. Adjusted net income, basic net earnings per
share and diluted net earnings per share for the three months ended March
31, 2001 are $949 million, $0.70 per share and $0.67 per share,
respectively.

Goodwill as of March 31, 2002, as allocated by reportable segment is as
follows:

Goodwill, March 31, 2002 452 2,643 5,467 2,826 278 11,666

</TABLE>
The increase in goodwill within the beauty care segment is primarily due to
interim adjustments related to the final purchase price adjustment for the
Clairol acquisition based on a working capital formula and information on
the fair value of tangible assets acquired. The increase in goodwill within
the health care segment relates to the buyout of the purchase price
contingency for Dr. John's Spinbrush (see Note 4).

Identifiable intangible assets as of March 31, 2002 are comprised of:

Amounts in Millions
Gross Carrying Accumulated
Amount Amortization
------------------------------------

Amortizable intangible assets $1,795 $355
Non-amortizable intangible assets 458 169
------------------------------------
Total identifiable intangible assets 2,253 524


Amortizable intangible assets consist principally of patents, technology
and trademarks. The non-amortizable intangible assets consist primarily of
certain trademarks. Allocation of the Clairol purchase price to specific
assets separable from goodwill and liabilities acquired, including
identifiable intangibles, are subject to revision based on final
determination of fair values.

The amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2002 is $27 million and $66 million, respectively.
Item 2.  Management Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The Company reported net earnings of $1.04 billion or $0.74 per share for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002. Results included a $147 million after-tax
restructuring charge related to the Company's streamlining of operations and
business portfolio. This restructuring charge included employee separation costs
of $51 million before tax and asset-related charges of $83 million before tax.
Net earnings in the year ago quarter were $893 million, including a $113 million
after-tax restructuring charge.

Core net earnings were $0.84 per share or $1.19 billion for the current quarter,
compared to $0.75 per share or $1.06 billion in the year ago quarter. These
results exclude restructuring charges in both periods. Additionally, the year
ago quarter excludes $56 million after-tax, or $0.04 per share, for amortization
of goodwill and certain intangible assets that are not required in the current
period.

Net sales were $9.90 billion, up four percent versus year ago. Unit volume grew
ten percent versus the prior year, led by double-digit growth in the health and
beauty care businesses and strong progress in fabric and home care. Excluding
acquisitions and divestitures, unit volume increased six percent. Pricing and
mix had a three percent negative impact on sales in the quarter, due to the pass
through of lower commodity costs, structural price adjustments in fabric and
baby care and mix effects. Foreign exchange had a negative three percent impact
on net sales.

For the first nine months, reported net earnings were $3.44 billion, or $2.45
per share. Results included a $531 million after-tax charge related to the
restructuring program. This restructuring charge includes employee separation
costs of $348 million before tax and asset-related charges of $224 million
before tax. Excluding restructuring charges and the prior year amortization of
goodwill and certain intangibles, core net earnings were $3.97 billion in 2002
and $3.72 billion in 2001. Core net earnings per share grew seven percent to
$2.83 in the current year. Net sales for the first nine months were $30.1
billion, up three percent, excluding a two percent negative foreign exchange
impact.

Gross margin was 48.8 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, compared to
45.6 percent in the same quarter of the prior year. Excluding restructuring
costs, gross margin was 49.8 percent, compared to 46.7 percent in the year ago
quarter. This margin progress reflects the benefits of restructuring actions,
lower material costs and benefits from improved corporate portfolio mix. Cost of
products sold includes a $107 million before-tax restructuring charge.

Operating margin was 16.7 percent for the quarter, compared to 13.7 percent in
the same quarter year ago, and 12.1 percent for the prior fiscal year. Excluding
restructuring charges and amortization of goodwill and certain intangible assets
in the year ago quarter, operating margin grew to 18.7 percent from 15.9
percent. Operating margin progress was driven by gross margin improvement.
Marketing, research and administrative costs reflect continued progress from
restructuring, but increased due to costs associated with the integration of
Clairol and increased marketing investments.


FABRIC & HOME CARE
- ------------------
Fabric and home care delivered excellent results, with six percent volume growth
behind strength in North America. Net sales were $2.84 billion, up two percent,
as pricing adjustments in Western Europe and Latin America partially offset
increased volume. Net earnings were $472 million, up 36 percent, due to a
continued focus on disciplined cost management led by North America and Western
Europe.

Year-to-date, unit volume reflected a two percent increase while net sales
declined one percent. Net earnings increased 10 percent versus year ago.


BABY, FEMININE & FAMILY CARE
- ----------------------------
Baby, feminine and family care reflected solid earnings growth. Unit volume
increased four percent behind strong North America family care volume and strong
Pamper's(R) growth. Net sales were $2.90 billion, down one percent, as volume
growth partially offset the negative impact of foreign exchange and pricing
adjustments to improve consumer value, including commodity-driven price moves.
Earnings were $263 million, up 11 percent, including a non-operating gain from a
licensing transaction with an unconsolidated joint venture. Excluding this
one-time gain, earnings would have been up four percent, reflecting gross margin
improvement from manufacturing projects and commodity price reductions that
funded increased marketing investment.

For the first nine months of the year, unit volume increased four percent. Net
sales declined one percent while earnings grew nine percent.


BEAUTY CARE
- -----------
Beauty care posted strong results with double-digit volume, sales and earnings
growth led by hair care and fine fragrances. Unit volume increased 28 percent
driven by the Clairol acquisition. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and
divestitures, volume was up four percent behind hair care. Net sales were $2.11
billion, up 18 percent. Volume growth was partially offset by mix impacts driven
by the Clairol acquisition and negative foreign exchange. Excluding acquisitions
and divestitures, net sales were up one percent versus year ago. Net earnings
were $269 million, up 11 percent versus last year. The relationship between
earnings and top-line growth reflects mix effects from the Clairol acquisition.

For the first nine months of the fiscal year, unit volume was up 14 percent (up
three percent excluding acquisitions and divestitures). Net sales increased
eight percent while net earnings grew 17 percent.


HEALTH CARE
- -----------
Health care continued to deliver strong results, as unit volume increased 16
percent, driven by strength in oral care, pharmaceuticals and pet health and
nutrition. Net sales grew 11 percent to $1.22 billion behind strength in Crest
Whitestrips and Spinbrush. Net earnings were $124 million, up 36 percent,
reflecting volume and sales growth of high margin items, which has funded
increased marketing investments.

On a year-to-date basis, unit volume was up 17 percent and net sales were up 15
percent. Net earnings grew 30 percent behind these strong volume and net sales
results.


FOOD & BEVERAGE
- ---------------
Net earnings in food and beverage increased behind broad-based cost reductions.
Unit volume is showing improvement after a slow start to the fiscal year but was
down one percent. Net sales declined six percent to $879 million as Folgers(R)
pricing continued to reflect lower green coffee costs. Net earnings were $79
million, up 18 percent.

For the first nine months of the year, unit volume was down six percent (down
three percent excluding acquisitions and divestitures) while net sales were down
nine percent and net earnings grew 14 percent.


CORPORATE
- ---------
The corporate segment contains both operating and non-operating items that are
not included in the business results. The comparability of corporate results is
affected by a reduction in divestiture gains and higher restructuring costs in
the current year. These more than offset the benefit from the accounting change
to no longer amortize goodwill and certain intangibles, effective in the current
year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2002, cash generated from operating
activities totaled $5.4 billion, up $1.6 billion from the same period in the
prior year. Combined with earnings growth, this year-over-year increase reflects
the benefit of a non-recurring shift in payment timing on certain operating
accruals. Capital expenditures are down significantly versus prior year ($0.7
billion) achieving our long-term six percent of sales target several quarters
ahead of expectations. This reflects increased efficiencies across multiple
business units, primarily in North America.

Asset sale proceeds from divestitures are down from the prior year due to larger
divestitures last year (Clearasil, Spic & Span, Brooklands), generating a year-
over-year cash decrease of $0.6 billion. Acquisitions in the current year
reflect primarily the purchase of Clairol, which resulted in a year-over-year
decline in cash partially offset by an increase in short-term debt.

The Company maintains share repurchase programs, which authorize the purchase of
shares on the open market to mitigate the dilutive impact of employee
compensation programs. For the nine months ended March 31, 2002, the purchase of
treasury shares was $0.4 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the same period in
the prior year. This temporary decline was primarily driven by cash requirements
for the Clairol acquisition.


RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM UPDATE
- ----------------------------
Concurrent with the Company's reorganization into product-based global business
units, a multi-year restructuring program was initiated in 1999. The program
will deliver cost reductions through reduced overhead, manufacturing
consolidations, operational streamlining and discontinuation of under-performing
businesses and initiatives.

Restructuring charges include separation-related expenses, asset write-downs or
accelerated depreciation, costs relating to certain discontinued initiatives and
other costs directly related to the restructuring effort. These costs are
reported in the corporate segment for management and external reporting.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded charges totaling
$191 million before tax ($147 million after tax) related to restructuring, as
detailed in the following table:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
During January - March 2002, restructuring charges against the Company's cost of
products sold amounted to $107 million before tax and charges included in
marketing, research and administrative expenses amounted to $99 million before
tax. In addition, the Company had $15 million of net sales from initiatives
being discontinued, which are reflected in corporate.

Employee separation charges in January - March 2002 are associated with
severance packages for approximately 1,000 people. The packages are
predominantly voluntary and are formula driven based on salary levels and past
service. Severance costs related to voluntary separations are charged to
earnings when the employee accepts the offer. The current and planned
separations span the entire organization, including manufacturing, selling,
research and administrative positions.

The charges for accelerated depreciation and asset write-downs, which totaled
$76 million before tax in the quarter ended March 31, 2002, are primarily
related to manufacturing operations. Charges for accelerated depreciation relate
to long-lived assets that will be taken out of service prior to the end of their
normal service period due to manufacturing consolidations, technology
standardization, plant closures or strategic choices to discontinue initiatives.
The Company has shortened the estimated useful lives of such assets, resulting
in incremental depreciation expense. Charges for asset write-downs relate to the
establishment of new fair value bases for assets held for sale or disposal that
represent excess capacity in the process of being removed from service or
disposed and businesses held for sale in the next 12 months.

Additionally, asset write-downs include certain manufacturing assets that are
expected to operate at levels significantly below their planned capacity. The
projected cash flows from such assets over their remaining useful lives were no
longer estimated to be greater than their current carrying values; therefore,
they were written down to estimated fair value, generally determined by
