PART I

Item 1. 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.

Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------
The information required by this item is incorporated herein by
reference to Note 12, Segment Information, 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. 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.



Assets and net sales in the United States and internationally were as follows
(in millions):

Net Sales (for the year ended June 30) Assets (as of June 30)
-------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
2000 1999 1998 2000 1999 1998
------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------

United States $20,038 $18,314 $17,848 $17,227 $15,142 $15,159
International 19,913 19,811 19,306 16,967 16,971 15,807



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.

PART II

Item 5. 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.
