AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Discontinued Operations

In March 2000, the Company announced that it signed a definitive
agreement with BASF Aktiengesellschaft (BASF) for the sale of the
agricultural products business. The agricultural products business
manufactures, distributes and sells crop protection and pest control
products, such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. Under the
terms of the agreement, which is subject to certain customary
conditions, including regulatory approval, BASF will pay the Company
$3.8 billion in cash and will assume certain debt. As a result, the
Company recorded an estimated after-tax loss on the sale of this
business of $1,572,993,000 or $1.19 per share-diluted and has
reflected this business as a discontinued operation in the 2000 first
quarter. The loss on the sale included anticipated closing costs,
which were more than offset by estimated after-tax operating income of
the agricultural products business of $86,035,000 from April 1, 2000
through June 30, 2000, the anticipated disposal period. The loss on
the sale was due primarily to a difference in the basis of the net
assets being sold for financial reporting purposes compared to that
for tax purposes. This difference related, for the most part, to
goodwill which is not recognized for tax purposes in the proposed
sale. As a result, the transaction will generate a taxable gain,
requiring the recording of a tax provision, in addition to requiring
a write-off of the net assets in excess of the selling price. The
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements at December 31, 1999 and
March 31, 1999 have been restated to reflect the agricultural
products business as a discontinued operation. The difference between
the net assets - discontinued business held for sale at March 31,
2000 and the $3.8 billion in anticipated proceeds from the sale
represents seasonal assets, primarily accounts receivable, that is
anticipated to convert to cash prior to the closing of this
transaction. Operating results of discontinued operations were as
follows:

Note 2. Warner-Lambert Termination Fee

During the 2000 first quarter, the Company and Warner-Lambert Company
terminated their merger agreement. The Company recorded income of
$1,709,380,000 ($1,111,097,000 after-tax or $0.84 per share-diluted)
in income from continuing operations resulting from the receipt of a
$1.8 billion termination fee provided for under the merger agreement
offset, in part, by certain related expenses.

Note 3. Contingencies and Litigation Settlement

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including
product liability and environmental matters of a nature considered
normal to its business. It is the Company's policy to accrue for
amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable.

On April 13, 2000, the Company announced that it will proceed with
the comprehensive, nationwide diet drug settlement to resolve
litigation brought against the Company regarding the use of REDUX
(dexfenfluramine) or PONDIMIN (fenfluramine). The comprehensive,
nationwide settlement is subject to judicial approval (and resolution
of appeals, if any) following a fairness hearing in the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which took place on May
2-11, 2000. Of the estimated 5.8 million diet drug users,
approximately 200,000 individuals had registered for the settlement and
approximately 45,000 opted out during the four-month initial opt-out
period ended March 30, 2000. A majority of those who registered have
elected the settlement's Accelerated Implementation Option, which
provides for prompt benefits and resolves the claims of those class
members.

As of March 31, 2000, there was $3,992,780,000 of the REDUX and
PONDIMIN litigation accrual remaining, which reflected individual
settlement payments, legal fees and other items in the 2000 first
quarter totaling $639,639,000. The Company believes that this accrual
is adequate based upon, among other things, the assumption that the
comprehensive, nationwide settlement will receive final judicial
approval. However, the Company will continue to review and analyze
all diet drug matters, including the number and nature of
registrations within the nationwide settlement, opt-out claims and
other matters.

In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any legal
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate
liability of the Company in connection with its legal proceedings
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position but could be material to the results of operations in any
one accounting period.

Note 4. Restructuring Programs

1999 Agricultural Products Restructuring Charge and Asset Impairments

During the 1999 third quarter, the Company recorded a charge of
$113,000,000 to provide for the restructuring of the Company's
agricultural products business. The restructuring will result in the
elimination of approximately 700 positions worldwide. Since the end
of 1999, the Company discontinued its agricultural products business
(see Note 1). Certain restructuring accruals will be assumed by BASF,
which are reflected in net assets - discontinued business held for
sale in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. In the 2000 first
quarter, the Company continued its personnel reductions and completed
the closure of one research facility. At March 31, 2000, approximately
500 positions have been eliminated under this program. Activity in the
agricultural products restructuring accruals was as follows:

1998 Restructuring Charge and Related Asset Impairments

In December 1998, the Company recorded a special charge for
restructuring and related asset impairments of $343,600,000 to
recognize costs of the reorganization of its worldwide supply chains
and U.S. distribution systems, and the globalization of certain
business units. The restructuring will result in the reduction of
4,100 positions worldwide offset, in part, by 1,000 newly created
positions in the same functions at other locations. Since the end of
1999, the Company has continued its personnel reductions and has
completed the closure of the third and final distribution center. The
manufacturing plants are continuing their phase-out period, and the
Company will begin the disposal process in late 2000. At March 31,
2000, approximately 2,700 positions had been eliminated. The activity
in the restructuring accruals was as follows:

Note 5. Consolidation of Certain Subsidiaries

Effective January 1, 2000, the financial results of certain
pharmaceutical subsidiaries in Japan and India, which were previously
included on an equity basis, were consolidated in the results of the
Company due to changes in the Company's ability to exercise control
over the operations of these affiliates. The consolidation of the
subsidiaries resulted in higher net sales of 3%; however, it had no
impact on income from continuing operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000

Results of Operations

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations for the 2000 first
quarter has been presented on an as-reported basis, except for sales variation
explanations which are presented on an as-reported and pro forma basis.
Effective January 1, 2000, certain pharmaceutical subsidiaries in Japan and
India, which were previously included on an equity basis, were consolidated in
the results of the Company. Pro forma sales results reflect the consolidation
of these subsidiaries as of January 1, 1999. The consolidation of the
subsidiaries had no impact on income from continuing operations.

On an as-reported basis, worldwide net sales for the 2000 first quarter were 17%
higher compared with prior year levels. On a pro forma basis, worldwide net
sales were 14% higher compared with prior year levels. The increase in pro
forma worldwide net sales for the 2000 first quarter was due primarily to higher
worldwide sales of pharmaceuticals and consumer health care products. Excluding
the negative impact of foreign exchange, pro forma worldwide net sales increased
16% for the 2000 first quarter.

The following table sets forth worldwide net sales results by operating segment
together with the percentage changes in "As-Reported" and "Pro Forma" worldwide
net sales from the comparable period in the prior year:

The following sales variation explanations are presented on an as-reported and
pro forma basis:

On an as-reported basis, worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 19% for
the 2000 first quarter. On a pro forma basis, worldwide pharmaceutical
sales increased 16% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to higher
sales of MENINGITEC (introduced in the United Kingdom in the 1999 fourth
quarter), EFFEXOR XR (due primarily to expanded indications), ENBREL,
PREMARIN products, PREVNAR (introduced in the 2000 first quarter), REFACTO
(introduced in Europe in the 1999 second quarter) and ZOSYN offset, in
part, by lower sales of LODINE products (due to generic competition).
Excluding the negative impact of foreign exchange, pro forma worldwide
pharmaceutical sales increased 18% for the 2000 first quarter.

On an as-reported and pro forma basis, worldwide consumer health care
sales increased 6% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to higher
sales of nutritional supplements, principally CENTRUM products and
CALTRATE, as well as higher sales of ADVIL. Excluding the negative impact
of foreign exchange, pro forma worldwide consumer health care sales
increased 7% for the 2000 first quarter.

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma basis, the percentage changes in
worldwide net sales by operating and geographic segment compared to the prior
year, including the effect volume, price and foreign exchange had on these
percentage changes:

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased slightly to 24.8%
for the 2000 first quarter compared with 24.5% for the 1999 first quarter due
primarily to an unfavorable product mix in the pharmaceuticals segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14% for the 2000 first
quarter. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses were due primarily
to higher selling expenses, including increased headcount, related to recent
pharmaceutical product launches and consumer health care product line
expansions, pre-launch marketing costs for certain pharmaceutical products
expected to be launched in the near future and direct-to-consumer promotional
costs for significant established pharmaceutical products.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000


Research and development expenses increased 20% for the 2000 first quarter due
primarily to higher pharmaceutical research and development expenditures as a
result of payments for existing licensing agreements and costs for ongoing
clinical trials.

Interest expense, net decreased 23% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to
higher interest income as a result of higher marketable securities offset, in
part, by increased borrowings to finance operations and an increase in interest
rates. Weighted average long-term debt outstanding during the 2000 and 1999
first quarters were $4,843.3 million and $4,190.5 million, respectively.

Other income, net decreased 35% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to a
payment for access to an Alzheimer's vaccine collaboration, unfavorable foreign
exchange results and lower gains on the sales of non-strategic assets, including
certain non-core product rights, offset, in part, by an insurance recovery of
environmental costs and lower Year 2000 conversion costs.

During the 2000 first quarter, the Company and Warner-Lambert Company terminated
their merger agreement. The Company recorded income of $1,709.4 million
($1,111.1 million after-tax or $0.84 per share - diluted) in income from
continuing operations resulting from the receipt of a $1.8 billion termination
fee provided for under the merger agreement offset, in part, by certain related
expenses.

before federal and foreign taxes by operating segment together with the
percentage changes from the comparable period in the prior year:

(1) Includes goodwill amortization for 2000 and 1999 as follows: Pharmaceuticals
- $40.2 and $38.5, and Consumer Health Care - $3.8 and $4.0, respectively.

(2) Corporate and All Other for the 2000 first quarter included income of
$1,709.4 resulting from the receipt of a $1,800.0 termination fee provided
for under the merger agreement with Warner-Lambert Company offset, in part,
by certain related expenses. Excluding the Warner-Lambert termination fee,
Corporate and All Other expenses, net decreased 76% for the 2000 first
quarter.

(3) Excluding the Warner-Lambert termination fee, total income from continuing
operations before federal and foreign taxes increased 15% for the 2000 first
quarter.

Worldwide pharmaceutical income from continuing operations before federal and
foreign taxes increased 8% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to increased
worldwide sales offset, in part, by higher selling, general and administrative
expenses, higher research and development expenses, and lower other income, net.
Lower gains on the sales of non-strategic assets, a payment for access to an
Alzheimer's vaccine collaboration, unfavorable foreign exchange offset, in part,
by lower Year 2000 conversion costs were the causes for lower other income, net.

Worldwide consumer health care income from continuing operations before taxes
increased 2% for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to increased worldwide
sales offset, in part, by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Corporate and all other expenses, net, excluding the Warner-Lambert termination
fee, decreased for the 2000 first quarter due primarily to an insurance recovery
of environmental costs and lower interest expense in the 2000 first quarter.

The effective tax rate of continuing operations, excluding the effect of the
Warner-Lambert termination fee, decreased to 26.4% for the 2000 first quarter
compared with 28.3% for the 1999 first quarter due primarily to higher research
tax credits in the 2000 first quarter.

In March 2000, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement with
BASF for the sale of the agricultural products business. Under the terms of the
agreement, which is subject to certain customary conditions, including
regulatory approval, BASF will pay the Company $3.8 billion in cash and will
assume certain debt. As a result, the Company recorded an estimated after-tax
loss on the sale of this business of $1,573.0 million or $1.19 per share-diluted
and has reflected this business as a discontinued operation in the 2000 first
quarter. The loss on the sale included anticipated closing costs, which were
more than offset by estimated after-tax operating income of the agricultural
products business of $86.0 million from April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000, the
anticipated disposal period. The loss on the sale was due primarily to a
difference in the basis of the net assets being sold for financial reporting
purposes compared to that for tax purposes. This difference related, for the
most part, to goodwill, which is not recognized for tax purposes in the proposed
sale. As a result, the transaction will generate a taxable gain, requiring the
recording of a tax provision, in addition to requiring a write-off of the net
assets in excess of the selling price. The agricultural products business had
income and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations of $103.3
million and $0.08 for the 2000 first quarter compared to $116.8 million and

15

$0.09 for the same period last year, respectively. Including the anticipated
loss on sale, the total loss and diluted loss per share from discontinued
operations were $1,469.6 million and $1.11, respectively, for the 2000 first
quarter.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the 2000 first quarter were $276.4
million and $0.21 compared to $654.9 million and $0.49, respectively, for the
1999 first quarter. Excluding the after-tax loss from discontinued operations
of $1,469.6 million and $1.11, and the after-tax Warner-Lambert termination fee
of $1,111.1 and $0.84, respectively, income and diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations for the 2000 first quarter were $634.9 million and $0.48,
an increase of 18% and 20%, respectively, compared to income from continuing
operations in the 1999 first quarter. These increases were due primarily to
increased worldwide sales results offset, in part, by higher research and
development expenses.

Euro Currency

On January 1, 1999, 11 of the 15 member countries of the European Union adopted
the Euro as a new common legal currency. However, the legacy currencies of the
member countries are scheduled to remain legal tender as sub-denominations of
the Euro between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2002 (the transition period).
Critical areas impacted by the conversion to the Euro have been identified and
appropriate strategies developed, which are currently being implemented to
facilitate the adoption of the Euro and to facilitate business transactions
during the transition period. The costs related to the Euro conversion and
transition period will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. However, the Euro conversion may
have competitive implications on the Company's pricing and marketing strategies,
the total impact of which is not known at this time.

Competition

The Company operates in the highly competitive pharmaceutical, consumer health
care and agrochemical industries. The Company is not dependent on any one
patent-protected product or line of products for a substantial portion of its
sales or results of operations. PREMARIN, the Company's principal conjugated
estrogens product manufactured from pregnant mare's urine, and related products
PREMPRO and PREMPHASE (which are single tablet combinations of the
conjugated estrogens in PREMARIN and the progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate),
are the leaders in their categories and contribute significantly to sales and
results of operations. PREMARIN's natural composition is not subject to patent
protection (although PREMPRO and PREMPHASE are subject to various patents). The
principal uses of PREMARIN, PREMPRO and PREMPHASE are to manage the symptoms of
menopause and to prevent osteoporosis, a condition involving a loss of bone mass
in postmenopausal women. Estrogen-containing products manufactured by other
companies have been marketed for many years for the treatment of menopausal
symptoms, and some of these products also have an approved indication for the
prevention of osteoporosis. During the past several years, other manufacturers
have introduced alternative products for the treatment and/or prevention of
osteoporosis. New products containing different estrogens than those found in
PREMPRO and PREMPHASE and having many of the same indications have also been
introduced. Some companies have attempted to obtain approval for generic
versions of PREMARIN. These products, if approved, would be routinely
substitutable for PREMARIN and related products under many state laws and third-
party insurance payer plans. In May 1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) announced that it would not approve certain synthetic estrogen products

16
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000

as generic equivalents of PREMARIN given known compositional differences between
the active ingredient of these products and PREMARIN. Although the FDA has not
approved any generic equivalent to PREMARIN to date, PREMARIN will continue to
be subject to competition from existing and new competing estrogen and other
products for its approved indications and may be subject to generic competition
from either synthetic or natural conjugated estrogens products in the future.
At least one other company has announced that it is in the process of developing
a generic version of PREMARIN from the same natural source, and the Company
currently cannot predict the timing or outcome of these or any other efforts.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased $250.5 million in the 2000 first quarter to
$2,143.2 million. Cash flows from operating activities of $1,903.4 million
(which included a termination fee, net of related expenses, received from
Warner-Lambert Company of $1,709.4 million, and payments related to the REDUX
and PONDIMIN litigation of $639.6 million), proceeds from the sales and
maturities of marketable securities of $236.6 million, proceeds from sales of
other assets of $65.5 million and proceeds from the exercises of stock options
of $41.4 million were used principally for net repayments of debt of $1,036.3
million, dividend payments of $300.1 million, purchases of marketable securities
of $278.6 million, capital expenditures of $256.5 million and purchases of
treasury stock of $120.4 million. Capital expenditures included strategic
investments in manufacturing and distribution facilities worldwide and expansion
of the Company's research and development facilities.

Payments of $639.6 million were made in the 2000 first quarter pertaining to the
REDUX and PONDIMIN litigation. The litigation payments in the 2000 first
quarter may not be indicative of payments expected in future periods.

The Company's $1.0 billion of 7.70% notes, which matured on February 15, 2000,
were classified as current at December 31, 1999. In addition, $797.9 million
and $841.6 million of outstanding commercial paper at March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively, were classified as current, representing the
amount of the outstanding commercial paper borrowings in excess of the Company's
$2.0 billion credit facility that supports the commercial paper program. The
Company used a portion of the proceeds from the $1.8 billion termination fee
received as a result of the termination of the merger agreement with
Warner-Lambert to payoff the $1.0 billion of 7.70% notes on February 15, 2000.

At March 31, 2000, the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt was $4,508.8
million. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by one percentage
point, the fair value of the long-term debt would decrease or increase by
approximately $77.6 million.

The Company has established programs to protect against adverse changes in
exchange rates due to foreign currency volatility. At March 31, 2000, the fair
value of the $1,213.5 million notional amount of foreign currency contracts was
a net payable of $12.1 million. The foreign currency contracts consisted of

17
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000

purchased foreign exchange forward contracts and put options. If the
value of the U.S. dollar were to increase or decrease by 10% in relation to all
hedged foreign currencies, the net payable would increase or decrease by
approximately $90.6 million.

The notional amount related to the purchase of forward contracts designed to
protect balance sheet exposures totaled $707.8 million. As foreign exchange
rates change from period to period, the fluctuations in the fair value of the
foreign exchange forward contracts are offset by fluctuations in the fair value
of the underlying hedged transactions.

The notional amount related to the purchase of local currency put options
designed to protect future translation exposure totaled $505.7 million, $233.4
million of which were considered speculative and were marked to market and
recorded at fair value.

Year 2000

The Company successfully completed the Year 2000 rollover with no business
interruptions. There has been no material change in total costs since the last
estimate, and all costs have been substantially incurred at March 31, 2000. The
Company has not experienced any detrimental effects of the Year 2000 rollover in
the 2000 first quarter. The Company is not aware of any material problems
resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with the Company's products, internal
systems, or the Company's products and services of third parties. The Company
will continue to monitor mission critical computer applications and those of the
Company's suppliers and vendors throughout 2000 to ensure that any latent Year
2000 matters that may arise are addressed promptly.

Cautionary Statements for Forward Looking Information

This Form 10-Q, including management's discussion and analysis set forth above,
contains certain forward-looking statements, including, among other things,
statements regarding the Company's results of operations, Euro currency,
competition, liquidity, financial condition and capital resources, and the
comprehensive, national settlement relating to REDUX and PONDIMIN. These
forward-looking statements are based on current expectations. Certain factors
which could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
expected and historical results have been identified by the Company in its other
periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the
Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Exhibit 99 to such report, which
exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

18
Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to numerous lawsuits and
claims arising out of the conduct of its business, including product
liability and other tort claims, the most significant of which are
described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

As of May 8, 2000, the Company has been served or is aware that it has
been named as a defendant in 9,871 suits as the manufacturer of
PONDIMIN and/or the distributor of REDUX. Of the 9,871 lawsuits
naming the Company as a defendant, 119 are actions that seek
certification of a class, some on a national and others on a
statewide basis. Of these 119 lawsuits, 50 are pending in various
federal district courts and 69 are pending in various state courts. A
number of the actions brought in state courts have been removed to
federal courts. Individual plaintiffs have filed the remaining
lawsuits: 1,820 such lawsuits are pending in various federal district
courts and 7,932 such lawsuits are pending in various state courts.
The 9,871 lawsuits contain a total of 20,381 plaintiffs (not including
spouse or consortium claims).

On April 13, 2000, the Company announced that it would proceed with
its comprehensive, nationwide diet drug settlement, which is subject
to judicial approval (and resolution of appeals, if any) following a
fairness hearing in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, which took place on May 2-11, 2000. The
Company also announced that, although a final report has not yet been
submitted by the Interim Claims Administrators appointed by the Court,
approximately 200,000 individuals had registered for the settlement
and approximately 45,000 opted out during the 4-month opt-out period
that ended on March 30, 2000. A majority of those who registered have
elected the settlement's Accelerated Implementation Option, which
provides for prompt benefits and resolves the claims of those class
members.

In early May 2000, the Company received a grand jury subpoena from the
office of the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland
seeking documents regarding the Company's adverse event reporting
system and the reporting of adverse events related to REDUX and
PONDIMIN. The Company is in the process of responding to the subpoena
and continues to believe that its conduct with respect to the diet
drugs has at all times been lawful and appropriate.

In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any legal
proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate liability
of the Company in connection with its legal proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position but could
be material to the results of operations in any one accounting period.
