Report of Independent Auditors
Savings Incentive Plan Committee
Becton, Dickinson and Company
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Becton, Dickinson and Company Savings Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2000
and 1999, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended June 30, 2000. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards 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. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at June
30, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the year ended June 30, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule
of assets held for investment purposes at end of year as of June 30, 2000 is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Becton, Dickinson and Company
Savings Incentive Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting records of the Becton, Dickinson and Company Savings Incentive Plan
(the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis whereby all income, costs and
expenses are recorded when earned or incurred. Investments are recorded on the
basis of cost but are reported in the Plan's financial statements at fair value,
redemption value or contract value. Fair value of marketable equity securities
is determined by quoted market prices in an active market. The value of the
Becton, Dickinson and Company Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock was
determined based upon the guaranteed redemption value of $59 per share or 640%
of the fair value of the Becton, Dickinson and Company Common Stock, whichever
is higher. Investment contracts (Fixed Income Fund) are contracts
with insurance companies which are fully benefit responsive and valued at
contract value. Contract value represents contributions made, plus interest at
the contract rate and transfers, less distributions. Interests in commingled
trust funds and mutual funds are valued at the redemption price established by
the trustee or investment manager of the respective fund. Participant loans are
valued at unpaid principal balances with maturities ranging from three months
to four and one-half years for ordinary loans and twenty years for primary
residence loans. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair
value. The Plan considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of 90
days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investment management fees,
brokerage fees, commissions, stock transfer taxes, and other expenses related to
each investment fund are paid out of the respective fund. Other expenses, such
as trustee fees, ESOP fees, and other administrative expenses are shared by
Becton, Dickinson and Company and the Plan.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Description of the Plan
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established for the purpose of
encouraging and assisting employees in following a systematic savings program
and to provide an opportunity for employees, at no cost to themselves, to become
shareholders of Becton, Dickinson and Company. Employees of Becton, Dickinson
and Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the "Company") are
eligible for participation in the Plan on the first enrollment date coincident
with or next following the date on which the employee commences employment with
the Company.
F-4

Becton, Dickinson and Company
Savings Incentive Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
Eligible employees who are members of the Plan can authorize a payroll deduction
for a contribution to the Plan in an amount per payroll period equal to any
selected whole percentage of pay from 2% to 20% inclusive. For purposes of the
Plan, total pay includes base pay, overtime compensation and commissions. Pre-
tax contributions are subject to annual Internal Revenue Code limitations of
$10,500 and $10,000 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Individual employee contributions of up to 6% of total pay are eligible for a
matching Company contribution. The Board of Directors of the Company may,
within prescribed limits, establish, from time to time, the rate of Company
contributions. It has authorized the Company to make a monthly contribution to
the Plan in an amount equal to 50% of eligible employee contributions during
said month minus any forfeitures.
Employee contributions can be in either before-tax ("401(k)") dollars or after-
tax dollars or a combination of both. Employee contributions in before-tax
dollars result in savings going into the Plan before most federal, state or
local taxes are withheld. Taxes are deferred until the employee withdraws the
40l(k) contributions from the Plan.
Participating employees are not liable for federal income taxes on amounts
earned in the Plan or on amounts contributed by the Company until such time that
their participating interest is distributed to them. In general, a
participating employee is subject to tax on the amount by which the distribution
paid to him exceeds the amount of after-tax dollars he has contributed to the
Plan.
Employee contributions are invested, at the option of the employee, in any of
the available funds in any combination of 1%.
The assets of the Fixed Income Fund are invested in contracts with various
insurance companies, which provide known rates of return on deposited funds,
provided that the contracts remain in force until their maturity. The weighted
average yield for the investment contracts was 6.26% and 6.30% at June 30, 2000
and 1999, respectively. The crediting interest rates ranged from 5.97% to 7.28%
at June 30, 2000 and 5.15% to 13.50% at June 30, 1999. Crediting interest rates
are determined based on the balance and duration of the contract, with certain
contracts subject to quarterly rate resets based on market indices. There are
no minimum crediting interest rates or limitations on guarantees under the terms
of the contracts. No valuation reserves have been established

to adjust contract amounts. The fair value of the investment contracts recorded
at contract value is approximately $145,744,266 and $158,535,500 at June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
State Street Bank & Trust Company ("State Street Bank") is the Plan's Trustee.
State Street Bank is also the investment manager of the S&P 500 Index Fund, the
MidCap Index Fund and the Becton, Dickinson and Company Common Stock Fund.
PRIMCO Capital Management Inc. is the investment manager of the Fixed Income
Fund. Barclays Global Investors is the investment manager of the Balanced
Fund, Lord Abbett is the investment manager of the Small Cap Fund, and Capital
Guardian Trust Company is the investment manager of the International Equity
Fund.
The assets of the Company Common Stock Fund are invested in shares of the
Company's common stock. The Trustee has advised that its present intention is
to purchase the Company's common stock exclusively on the open market.
Contributions to the Company Common Stock Fund are comprised of both employee
contributions, as well as employer matching contributions.
Any portion of the Funds, pending permanent investment or distribution, may be
held on a short-term basis in cash or cash equivalents. The State Street Short-
Term Investment Fund is a holding account and represents funds received awaiting
allocation to an investment fund.
The Company implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) whereby the
Becton, Dickinson and Company Preferred Stock Fund was created to account for
employer matching contributions being invested in convertible preferred stock on
behalf of employees. Over the past several years, preferred shares have
accumulated in the trust in excess of the Company's matching obligation. As a
result, the Company matched up to an additional 1% of each eligible
participant's salary. This increase in the Company's contribution was allocated
in September 1999. Refer to Note 6.
The Plan also has loan provisions whereby employees are allowed to take loans
on their vested account balances. Loans originating during a year bear a fixed
rate of interest which is set annually. Employees are required to make
installment payments at each payroll date. The outstanding balance of a loan
becomes due and payable upon an employee's termination. Should an employee,
upon his termination, elect not to repay the outstanding balance, the loan is
canceled and deemed a distribution under the Plan.

2. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Plan provides for vesting in employer matching contributions based on months
of participation as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Full Months of Participation Percentage
------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
Less than 24 months 0%
24 but less than 36 months 50%
36 but less than 48 months 75%
48 months or more 100%
</TABLE>
Any participating employee with 5 or more years of service regardless of months
of participation will have a 100% vested percentage in the Company's matching
contributions. Also, participants may become fully vested on the date of
termination of employment by reasons of death, retirement or disability, or
attainment of age 65. Participants may be partially vested under certain
conditions in the event of termination of employment or participation in the
Plan for any other reason. Non-vested Company contributions forfeited by
participants are applied to reduce future Company contributions. Participants'
contributions are always 100% vested.
The Board of Directors of the Company reserves the right to terminate, modify,
alter or amend the Plan at any time and at its own discretion, provided that no
such termination, modification, alteration or amendment shall permit any of the
funds established pursuant to the Plan to be used for any purpose other than the
exclusive benefit of the participating employees. The right to modify, alter or
amend includes the right to change the percentage of the Company's
contributions.
Amounts allocated to withdrawn participants which have not yet been distributed
from the Plan as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $-0- and $186,468,
respectively. For the purpose of preparing the Plan's Form 5500 such amounts
are recorded as liabilities.

4. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated December 30, 1994, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, therefore, the related trust is
exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in
conformity with the Code to maintain its
F-8
<PAGE>

Savings Incentive Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. Income Tax Status (continued)
qualification. The plan committee believes the Plan is being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code, and therefore, believes
that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
5. Related Party Transactions
During the year ended June 30, 2000, the Plan purchased and distributed
1,257,818 shares and 1,777,287 shares, respectively, of the Company's common
stock and recorded $2,157,759 in dividends on the common stock from the Company.
In addition, the Plan purchased and distributed 127,872 shares and 184,949
shares, respectively, of the Series B ESOP convertible preferred stock of the
Company and recorded $3,743,724 in dividends on the preferred stock from the
Company.
6. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as part of the
Savings Incentive Plan. The ESOP operates to satisfy all or part of the
Company's obligation to match 50% of employees' contributions, up to a maximum
of 3% of each participant's covered compensation. To accomplish this, the ESOP
borrowed $60,000,000 in a private debt offering and used the proceeds to buy the
Company's Series B ESOP convertible preferred stock.
Each share of preferred stock has a guaranteed liquidation value of $59 per
share and is convertible into 6.4 shares of the Company's common stock. The
preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $3.835 per share which will be used
by the ESOP, together with Company contributions to repay the ESOP borrowings.
The allocated and unallocated shares at cost and market at June 30 were as
follows:

Savings Incentive Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
6. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) (continued)
Over a 15 year period, the trust will repay the loan; and as the loan is
gradually repaid, a portion of the preferred stock will be released and used to
match participants' contributions in the Plan. The initial allocation of
preferred stock to plan participants began in March 1990. Each year, a pre-
determined number of preferred shares will be released and available to be
allocated to participants' accounts. If the total value of the preferred shares
released (as the ESOP loan is repaid) is not sufficient to fully match the
participants' contributions, the remaining portion of the match will be made to
the Company Common Stock Fund.
7. Debt Obligations
In connection with the Employee Stock Ownership Plan feature, the Plan issued
$60,000,000 of ESOP notes in a private placement. The notes bear interest at
9.45% and are guaranteed by the Company. The notes, which are due July 1, 2004,
require semi-annual interest payments and annual principal payments. The
aggregate annual maturities of the debt obligations during the years ended June
30, 2001 to 2005 are as follows: 2001-$5,343,000, 2002-$5,873,000, 2003-
$6,455,000, 2004-$7,095,000 and 2005-$3,716,000.
