              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and therefore do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the
financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the periods shown. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of
the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

As presented herein, sales include sales of the Company's life-sciences products
and service revenue from the Company's health-care management operations,
primarily PCS Health Systems, Inc. (PCS).

CONTINGENCIES

The Company has been named as a defendant in numerous product liability lawsuits
involving primarily two products, diethylstilbestrol and Prozac'r'. The Company
has accrued for its estimated exposure, including costs of litigation, with
respect to all current product liability claims. In addition, the Company has
accrued for certain future anticipated product liability claims to the extent
the Company can formulate a reasonable estimate of their costs. The Company's
estimates of these expenses are based primarily on historical claims experience
and data regarding product usage. The Company expects the cash amounts related
to the accruals to be paid out over the next several years. The majority of
costs associated with defending and disposing of these suits are covered by
insurance. The Company's estimate of insurance recoveries is based on existing
deductibles, coverage limits, and the existing and projected future level of
insolvencies among its insurance carriers.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act,
commonly known as Superfund, the Company has been designated as one of several
potentially responsible parties with respect to certain sites. Under Superfund,
each responsible party may be jointly and severally liable for the entire amount
of the cleanup. The Company also continues remediation of certain of its own
sites. The Company has accrued for estimated Superfund cleanup costs,
remediation, and certain other environmental matters, taking into account, as
applicable, available information regarding site conditions, potential cleanup
methods, estimated costs, and the extent to which other parties can be expected
to contribute to the payment of those costs. The Company has reached a
settlement with its primary liability insurance carrier providing for coverage
for certain environmental liabilities and has instituted litigation seeking
coverage from certain excess carriers.

The Company has been named, along with numerous other U.S. prescription drug
manufacturers, as a defendant in a large number of related actions brought by
retail pharmacies alleging violations of federal and state antitrust and pricing
laws. The federal suits include a class action on behalf of the majority of U.S.
retail pharmacies. The Company and several other manufacturers agreed to settle
the federal class action case. The Company has also settled with a large number
of the remaining retail pharmacies. Still

                                       6

pending are related suits brought in federal and some state courts by a large
number of retail pharmacies involving claims of price discrimination or claims
under other pricing laws. Additional cases have been brought on behalf of
consumers in several states.

The environmental liabilities and litigation accruals have been reflected in the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at the gross amount of approximately $325
million at June 30, 1998. Estimated insurance recoverables have been reflected
as assets in the consolidated balance sheet of approximately $241 million at
June 30, 1998.

Barr Laboratories, Inc. (Barr) and Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Geneva) have
each submitted Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking FDA approval to
market generic forms of Prozac before the expiration of the Company's patents.
The ANDAs assert that Lilly's U.S. patents covering Prozac are invalid and
unenforceable. In April 1996, the Company filed suit against Barr in federal
court in Indianapolis seeking a ruling that Barr's challenge to Lilly's patents
is without merit. In June 1997, the Company filed a similar suit against Geneva
in the same court. The patent validity aspects of the case are currently set for
trial in January 1999. While the Company believes that the claims of Barr and
Geneva are without merit, there can be no assurance that the Company will
prevail. An unfavorable outcome of this litigation could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results
of operations.

While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the product
liability, antitrust, patent, or other legal actions brought against the
Company, or the ultimate cost of environmental matters, the Company believes
that, except as noted above, the costs associated with all such matters will not
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or
liquidity but could possibly be material to the consolidated results of
operations in any one accounting period.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

To reflect the impact of the Company's September 1997 stock split, previously
reported outstanding and weighted-average number of shares of common stock and
per share data have been adjusted.

At December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share",
which requires presentation of both basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share on the income statement. Accordingly, earnings per share data
for previous periods has been restated. All per share amounts, unless otherwise
noted in the footnotes, are presented on a diluted basis, that is, based on the
weighted-average number of outstanding common shares and the effect of all
potentially dilutive common shares (primarily unexercised stock options).

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Under provisions of
this statement, the Company has included a financial statement presentation of
comprehensive income to conform to these new requirements. SFAS No. 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities,
minimum pension liability adjustments and foreign currency translation
adjustments, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders'
equity to be included in other comprehensive

                                       7

<PAGE>


income. As a consequence of this change, certain balance sheet reclassifications
were necessary for previously reported amounts to achieve the required
presentation of comprehensive income. Implementation of this disclosure standard
did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1,
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use". The statement requires capitalization of certain costs incurred
in the development of internal-use software, including external direct material
and service costs, employee payroll and payroll-related costs, and capitalized
interest. Prior to adoption of SOP 98-1, the Company expensed these costs as
incurred. The effect of this change in accounting principle on consolidated
earnings during the current period is immaterial.

In June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information", was issued. The statement must be adopted by the Company
on December 31, 1998. Under provisions of this statement, the Company will be
required to modify or expand the financial statement disclosures for operating
segments, products and services, and geographic areas. Implementation of this
disclosure standard will not affect the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

In December 1997, SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits", was issued and is effective for the Company's 1998
fiscal year. The statement revises current disclosure requirements for
employers' pensions and other retirees benefits. Implementation of this
disclosure standard will not affect the Company's financial position or results
of operations.

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued. Statement No. 133 is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The statement permits early adoption as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The statement will require
the company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income.
If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in
the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair
value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or
recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in
earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, the amount by which the change in the value of
a hedge does not exactly offset the change in the value of the hedged item, will
be immediately recognized in earnings.

The Company has not yet determined what the effect of Statement No. 133 will be
on the Company or when the statement will be adopted.

Item  2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations

OPERATING RESULTS:

The Company's sales for the second quarter of 1998 increased 18 percent compared
with the second quarter of 1997. Sales inside the United States increased 25
percent while sales outside of the United States increased 7 percent. Compared
with the second quarter of 1997, worldwide sales reflected volume growth of 17.2
percent and a 3.1 percent increase in selling prices which were partially offset
by the unfavorable impact of exchange rates of 2.6 percent.

The Company's sales for the first six months of 1998 increased 17 percent
compared with the same period in 1997. Sales inside the United States increased
22 percent while sales outside the United States increased 8 percent. Compared
with the first six months of 1997, worldwide sales reflected volume growth of
17.2 percent and a 2.4 percent increase in selling prices which were partially
offset by unfavorable exchange rate comparisons of 2.6 percent.

Worldwide pharmaceutical sales and services for the quarter were $2,204 million
and for the six month period were $4,327 million, reflecting increases of 19
percent and 18 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods of 1997.
Sales growth in both periods was led by Prozac and three of the Company's newer
products, Gemzar'r', ReoPro'r', and Zyprexa'r'. Revenue growth for both the
quarter and the six month period was partially offset by lower sales of
anti-infective products and Axid'r', due to continuing generic competition and
competitive pressures. Total U.S. pharmaceutical sales and services for the
quarter increased 25 percent to $1,458 million and for the six month period
increased 23 percent to $2,851 million. Growth in both periods was driven
primarily by increased volumes. International pharmaceutical sales for the
quarter increased 7 percent to $746 million and for the six month period
increased 9 percent to $1,476 million. Strong volume growth drove these
increases, offset by the effect of unfavorable exchange rates with selling
prices remaining stable. The exchange rate impact in the Asia Pacific region did
not have a material impact on worldwide sales.

Worldwide sales of Prozac for the quarter were $666 million and for the six
month period were $1,284 million, representing increases over the same periods
of 1997 of 12 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Prozac sales in the U.S.
increased 16 percent to $531 million for the quarter and 13 percent to $1,015
million for the six month period. Sales of Prozac outside the U.S. declined 2
percent to $136 million for the quarter, but reflected an increase of 1 percent
to $269 million for the six month period. Both periods were affected by
unfavorable exchange rates and continued competitive pressures.

Zyprexa posted worldwide sales for the quarter of $328 million and $615 million
for the six month period, representing increases of $172 million and $354
million, respectively, over the same periods of 1997. U.S. sales of Zyprexa
increased $130 million to $256 million for the quarter and increased $269
million to $486 million for the six month period. Sales outside the U.S.
increased $42 million to $72 million for the quarter and increased $84 million
to $129 million for the six month period.

Worldwide insulin sales, composed of Humulin'r', Humalog'r', and Iletin'r',
increased in the quarter by 16 percent to $291 million and, for the six month

                                       9

period, increased 8 percent to $528 million. Insulin sales in the U.S. for the
quarter increased by 16 percent to $177 million and for the six month period
increased 4 percent to $308 million. Insulin sales outside the U.S. increased by
16 percent to $114 million for the quarter and increased 14 percent to $221
million for the six month period. Worldwide Humulin sales increased 12 percent
for the quarter and 3 percent for the six month period. U.S. Humulin sales
increased for the quarter by 12 percent, but for the six month period decreased
by 1 percent. Humulin sales outside the U.S. increased by 11 percent and 9
percent for the quarter and six month period, respectively, despite unfavorable
exchange rates. The Company expects Humulin sales for the full year to increase
from 3 to 5 percent over 1997 levels. Worldwide Humalog sales were $30 million
for the quarter and $54 million for the six month period, representing increases
over the same periods of 1997.

Worldwide sales of anti-infectives decreased by 11 percent to $250 million for
the quarter and by 12 percent to $545 million for the six month period. U.S.
anti-infective sales declined 21 percent for the quarter and 29 percent for the
six month period. International anti-infective sales declined by 7 percent and 6
percent for the same time periods. These declines were due in part to continued
generic competition in certain markets and the impact of unfavorable exchange
rates. Cefaclor accounted for the majority of the decline in anti-infective
sales. Sales of cefaclor declined 11 percent for the quarter and 14 percent for
the six month period.

Worldwide Axid sales decreased by 35 percent to $77 million for the quarter and
by 22 percent to $222 million for the six month period due to continuing generic
competition and competitive pressures.

Worldwide ReoPro sales of $101 million for the quarter and $171 million for the
six month period reflected increases of $41 million and $59 million over the
same periods of 1997, respectively.

Worldwide Gemzar sales of $85 million for the quarter and $143 million for the
six month period reflected increases of $44 million and $68 million over the
same periods of 1997, respectively.

Evista'r', launched in the first quarter, had worldwide sales of $15 million for
the quarter and $49 million for the six month period. The Company expects to
have introduced Evista in approximately 30 countries by the end of 1998.
Assuming that current new prescription trends continue, the Company anticipates
worldwide Evista sales for the full year of 1998 to be in the range of $125
million to $150 million.

Health-care management revenues increased 35 percent for the quarter to $180
million and 44 percent for the six month period of 1998 to $361 million, driven
largely by increased mail order pharmacy sales.

Worldwide sales of animal health products increased 6 percent over the second
quarter of 1997 to $135 million and 7 percent for the six month period to $279
million. This sales growth was driven primarily by Micotil'r'.

Cost of sales decreased in the second quarter to 26.7 percent of sales as
compared with 27.6 percent of sales in the same quarter of 1997. Cost of sales
for the first six months of 1998 was 26.6 percent of sales as compared with 27.7
percent in the prior year. The decreases for both periods were primarily the
result of favorable changes in product mix, continued productivity improvements,
and enhanced plant utilization. These improvements were offset in part by
increased health-care-management service revenues,

                                     10

which have lower margins than pharmaceutical products. For the year, the Company
anticipates that cost of sales as a percent of sales will be below 1997 levels.

In both periods comparisons of operating expenses benefited by the inclusion of
the settlement of a significant portion of the company's remaining retail
pharmacy pricing litigation in the second quarter of 1997. Excluding the impact
of the 1997 pricing litigation, operating expenses for 1998 increased 22 percent
for the second quarter and 21 percent for the first half of the year. The
increases reflect 28 percent and 25 percent growth rates in research and
development for the second quarter and six month periods, respectively. This
growth is the result of greater investments in both internal research efforts
and external research collaborations. The Company expects research and
development expenses for the full year to increase from 20 to 22 percent over
1997 levels. Excluding the impact of the 1997 pricing litigation, marketing and
administrative expenses increased 18 percent over the second quarter of 1997 and
19 percent over the first six months. This increase was driven by increased
expenditures to support continued new product launches around the world,
including the U.S. launch of Evista, enhancements of the Company's global
information technology capabilities, including expenditures relating to the
Company's development and implementation of the year 2000 computer initiatives,
and direct-to-consumer advertising campaigns in the U.S.

In the second quarter of 1997 the Company recognized an asset impairment (a
noncash charge) of approximately $2.4 billion to adjust the carrying value of
PCS health-care-management businesses (PCS) long-lived assets, primarily
goodwill, to their fair value of approximately $1.5 billion. The Company
determined that PCS' estimated future undiscounted cash flows were below the
carrying value of PCS' long-lived assets. As a consequence, the carrying value
was adjusted to estimated fair value based on anticipated future cash flows,
discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

On June 30, 1997, The Dow Chemical Company acquired the Company's 40 percent
interest in DowElanco. The cash purchase price was $1.2 billion resulting in a
gain in the second quarter of 1997 of $618.2 million ($295.6 million after-tax).

Compared to the second quarter and first six months of 1997, interest expense
decreased $19 million (31 percent) and $31 million (26 percent), respectively,
due largely to declines in the Company's short-term borrowings.

Net other income for the quarter of $56 million reflected a decrease of $2
million from 1997. Net other income for the six month period was $73 million, an
increase of $16 million over 1997. The first six months of 1998 benefited from a
decrease in goodwill amortization expense, gains on the sale of certain
investments, the exchange of Somatogen stock for Baxter stock as part of their
merger, and increased interest income. Also, the first six months comparison
benefited from the inclusion in the 1997 amount of the charges associated with
the discontinuance of a collaboration with Somatogen, Inc. These increases were
partially offset by the absence of DowElanco joint venture income in the first
six months.

The Company's effective tax rate for both the second quarter and first six
months was 25 percent. For the first six months of 1997 the Company's effective
tax rate was distorted by the impacts of the PCS impairment and the gain from
the sale of DowElanco. The Company's estimated tax rate for the

                                       11



<PAGE>

<PAGE>


first six months of 1997, excluding the impacts of these items, was 25 percent.

Second quarter net income was $491 million, or $0.44 per share, compared to a
$1,732 million net loss ($1.57 per share) for the second quarter of 1997. For
the six month period, net income was $1,012 million, or $0.90 per share,
compared to a $1,299 million net loss ($1.18 per share) for the same period in
1997. The second quarter 1997 results were impacted by the three non-recurring
significant events described above: the PCS asset impairment, the retail
pharmacy pricing litigation settlement and the DowElanco sale. Excluding these
non-recurring significant events, second quarter net income increased 18 percent
as compared to 1997 and for the six month period, net income increased 17
percent over the first six months of 1997. For the second quarter, net income
was favorably impacted by increased sales and improved gross margin, offset
somewhat by higher research and development expenses as a percent of sales.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

As of June 30, 1998, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$1,383 million as compared with $2,025 million at December 31, 1997, a net
decrease of $642 million. The decrease in cash was due primarily to stock
repurchases. Total debt at June 30, 1998, was $2,503 million, a decrease of $51
million from December 31, 1997.

The Company believes that cash generated from operations in 1998, along with
available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund essentially all
of the 1998 operating needs, including debt service, repayment of short term
borrowing, capital expenditures, and dividends.

Many of the Company's computer systems and laboratory and process automation
devices will require modification or replacement over the next 18 months in
order to render the systems ready for the Year 2000. Modifications of some
systems have already occurred and others are in various stages of activity
ranging from evaluation to testing. The Company is also assessing how it could
be affected by the failure of third parties (e.g., vendors and customers) to
mitigate their own Year 2000 issues. Management currently believes that the
incremental costs of addressing these issues will not materially affect the
Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations
through December 31, 1999. The Company believes it will be able to resolve all
major Year 2000 issues by the end of 1999. However, if the Company is not able
to do so, the impact on business operations could be material to the Company's
consolidated results of operations.

Barr Laboratories, Inc. (Barr) and Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Geneva) have
each submitted Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) seeking FDA approval to
market generic forms of Prozac before the expiration of the Company's patents.
The ANDAs assert that Lilly's U.S. patents covering Prozac are invalid and
unenforceable. The Company has filed suit in federal court in Indianapolis
against both Barr and Geneva seeking a ruling that both challenges are without
merit. The patent validity aspects of the case are currently set for trial in
January 1999. While the Company believes that the claims of Barr and Geneva are
without merit, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail. An
unfavorable outcome of this litigation could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of
operations.

                              ELI LILLY AND COMPANY
                            (An Indiana Corporation)

                                    ARTICLE I

                                THE SHAREHOLDERS

       SECTION 1.0. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders of
the Corporation for the election of directors and for the transaction of such
other business as properly may come before the meeting shall be held on the
third Monday in April in each year, if not a legal holiday, or, if a legal
holiday, then on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday. Failure to hold an
annual meeting of the shareholders at such designated time shall not affect
otherwise valid corporate acts or work a forfeiture or dissolution of the
Corporation.

       SECTION 1.1.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders may
be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, or the President.

       SECTION 1.2. Time and Place of Meetings. Each meeting of the shareholders
shall be held at such time of day and place, either within or without the State
of Indiana, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Each adjourned
meeting of the shareholders shall be held at such time and place as may be
provided in the motion for adjournment.

       SECTION 1.3. Notice of Meetings. The Secretary shall cause a written or
printed notice of the place, day and hour and the purpose or purposes of each
meeting of the shareholders to be delivered or mailed at least ten (10) but not
more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting, to each shareholder of record
entitled to vote at the meeting, at the shareholder's post office address as the
same appears on the records maintained by the Corporation. Notice of any such
shareholders meeting may be waived by any shareholder by delivering a written
waiver to the Secretary before or after such meeting. Attendance at any meeting
in person or by proxy when the instrument of proxy sets forth in reasonable
detail the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall constitute
a waiver of notice thereof. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the shareholders
of the Corporation shall not be required to be given unless otherwise required
by statute.

       SECTION 1.4. Quorum. At any meeting of the shareholders a majority of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote on a matter at such meeting, represented in
person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for action on that matter. In the
absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
present in person or by proxy, or, if no shareholder entitled to vote is present
in person or by proxy, any officer entitled to preside at or act as Secretary of
such meeting, may adjourn such meeting from time to time, until a quorum shall
be present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally called.

       SECTION 1.5. Voting. Except as otherwise provided by statute or by the
Articles of Incorporation, at each meeting of the shareholders each holder of
shares entitled to vote shall have the right to one vote for each share standing
in the shareholder's name on the books of the Corporation on the record date
fixed for the meeting under Section 1.7. Each shareholder entitled to vote shall
be entitled to vote in person or by proxy executed in writing (which shall
include telegraphing, cabling, facsimile, or electronic transmission) by the
shareholder or a duly authorized attorney in fact. The vote of shareholders
approving any matter to which the provisions of Article 9(c) or 9(d) or Article
13 of the Articles of Incorporation or of a statute are applicable shall require
the percentage of affirmative vote therein specified. All other matters, except
the election of directors, shall require that the votes cast in favor of the
matter exceed the votes cast opposing the matter at a meeting at which a quorum
is present. In the event that more than one group of shares is entitled to vote
as a separate voting group, the vote of each group shall be considered and
decided separately.

       SECTION 1.6. Voting Lists. The Secretary shall make or cause to be made,
after a record date for a meeting of shareholders has been fixed under Section
1.7 and at least five (5) days before such meeting, a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order,
with the address of each such shareholder and the number of shares so entitled
to vote held by each which list shall be on file at the principal office of the
Corporation and subject to inspection by any shareholder entitled to vote at the
meeting. Such list shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the
meeting and subject to the inspection of any such shareholder during the holding
of such meeting or any adjournment. Except as otherwise required by law, such
list shall be the only evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to vote
at any meeting of the shareholders. In the event that more than one group of
shares is entitled to vote as a separate voting group at the meeting, there
shall be a separate listing of the shareholders of each group.

       SECTION 1.7. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or
any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in
order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the
Board of Directors shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of shareholders, not more than seventy (70) days prior to the date
on which the particular action requiring this determination of shareholders is
to be taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the
determination shall, to the extent permitted by law, apply to any adjournment
thereof.

       SECTION 1.8. Notice of Shareholder Business. At an annual meeting of the
shareholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly
brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting,
business must be (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement
thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a
shareholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a
shareholder, the shareholder must have the legal right and authority to make the
proposal for consideration at the meeting and the shareholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be
timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at
the principal executive offices of the Corporation, not less than ninety (90)
days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than
one hundred (100) days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the
meeting is given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be timely
must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was
mailed or such public disclosure was made. A shareholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring
before the annual meeting (a) a brief description of the business described to
be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such
business at the annual meeting, (b) the name and record address of the
shareholder(s) proposing such business, (c) the class and number of the
Corporation's shares which are beneficially owned by such shareholder(s), and
(d) any material interest of such shareholder(s) in such business.
Notwithstanding anything in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be
conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 1.8. The Chairman of an annual meeting shall, if the facts
warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly
brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section
1.8, and if the Chairman should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the
meeting any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be
transacted. At any special meeting of the shareholders, only


                                      -3-

such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting
by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.

       SECTION 1.9. Notice of Shareholder Nominees. Only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.9 shall
be eligible for election as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to
the Board of Directors may be made at or prior to a meeting of shareholders by
or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by any nominating committee or
person appointed by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, and at a
meeting of shareholders by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of
Directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in
this Section 1.9. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to
the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder's notice shall be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than ninety (90) days prior to the meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that less than one hundred (100) days' notice or
prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
shareholders, notice by the shareholders to be timely must be so received not
later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the date on
which such notice of the date of the meeting was made. Such shareholder's notice
shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address
and residence address of such person; (ii) the principal occupation or
employment of such person; (iii) the class and number of the Corporation's
shares which are beneficially owned by such person; and (iv) to the extent
reasonably available to the shareholder, any other information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election
of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including without
limitation such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement
as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and (b) as to the
shareholder giving the notice (i) the name and record address of such
shareholder and (ii) the class and number of the Corporation's shares which are
beneficially owned by such shareholder. No person shall be eligible for election
as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this Section 1.9. The Chairman of the meeting shall, if
the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was
not so declared in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these By-laws,
and if the Chairman should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the
meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

       SECTION 2.0.  General Powers.  The property, affairs and business of the
Corporation shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Directors.

       SECTION 2.1. Number and Qualifications. The number of directors which
shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be sixteen (16), which
number may be either increased or diminished by resolution adopted by not less
than a majority of the directors then in office; provided that the number may
not be diminished below nine (9) and no reduction in number shall have the
effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director. In the event that the
holders of shares of preferred stock become entitled to elect two directors, the
number of directors and the minimum number of directors shall be increased by
two. Neither ownership of stock of the Corporation nor residence in the State of
Indiana shall be required as a qualification for a director.

       SECTION 2.2. Classes of Directors and Terms. The directors shall be
divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Except as
provided in Article 9 of the Articles of Incorporation fixing one, two, and
three year terms for the initial classified board, each class of directors shall
be elected for a term of three (3) years. In the event of vacancy, either by
death, resignation, or removal of a director, or by reason of an increase in the
number of directors, each replacement or new director shall serve for the
balance of the term of the class of the director he or she succeeds or, in the
event of an increase in the number of directors, of the class to which he or she
is assigned. All directors elected for a term shall continue in office until the
election and qualification of their respective successors, their death, their
resignation in accordance with Section 2.6, their removal in accordance with
Section 2.7, or if there has been a reduction in the number of directors and no
successor is to be elected, until the end of the term.

       SECTION 2.3. Election of Directors. At each annual meeting of
shareholders, the class of directors to be elected at the meeting shall be
chosen by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to
vote in the election at the meeting, provided a quorum is present. The election
of directors by the shareholders shall be by written ballot if directed by the
chairman of the meeting or if the number of nominees exceeds the number of
directors to be elected.

       Any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors.

       If the holders of preferred stock are entitled to elect any directors
voting separately as a class, those directors shall be elected by a plurality of
the votes cast by the holders of shares of preferred stock entitled to vote in
the election at the meeting, provided a quorum of the holders of shares of
preferred stock is present.

       SECTION 2.4.  Meetings of Directors.

       a. Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board
of Directors, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held at the
place of and immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders, for the
purpose of organization, the election of officers and the transaction of such
other business as properly may come before the meeting. No notice of the meeting
need be given, except in the case an amendment to the By-laws is to be
considered.

       b. Regular Meetings. The Board of Directors by resolution may provide for
the holding of regular meetings and may fix the times and places (within or
outside the State of Indiana) at which those meetings shall be held. Notice of
regular meetings need not be given except when an amendment to the By-laws is to
be considered. Whenever the time or place of regular meetings shall be fixed or
changed, notice of this action shall be mailed promptly to each director not
present when the action was taken, addressed to the director at his or her
residence or usual place of business.

       c. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be
called by the Chairman of the Board or the President and shall be called by the
Secretary at the request of any three (3) directors. Except as otherwise
required by statute, notice of each special meeting shall be mailed to each
director at his or her residence or usual place of business at least three (3)
days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or shall be sent to the
director at such place by telegram, facsimile transmission, or cable, or
telephoned or personally delivered, not later than the day before the day on
which the meeting is to be held. The notice shall state the time and place
(which may be within or outside the State of Indiana) of the meeting but, unless
otherwise required by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or the By-laws,
need not state the purposes thereof.

       Notice of any meeting need not be given to any director, however, who
shall attend the meeting, or who shall waive notice thereof, before, at the time
of, or after the meeting, in a writing signed by the director and delivered to
the Corporation. No notice need be given of any meeting at which every member of
the Board of Directors shall be present.

       SECTION 2.5. Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority of the actual number
of directors established pursuant to Section 2.1, from time to time, shall be


                                      -6-

<PAGE>


necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business except the
filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors under Section 2.3 or voting on a
conflict of interest transaction under Section 2.12. The act of a majority of
the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, shall be the
act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by
statute, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by the By-laws. Under the
provisions of Article 13 of the Articles of Incorporation, certain actions by
the Board of Directors therein specified require not only approval by the Board
of Directors, but also approval by a majority of the Continuing Directors, as
therein defined. Any or all directors may participate in a meeting of the Board
of Directors by means of a conference telephone or similar communications
equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting may simultaneously
hear each other, and participation in this manner shall constitute presence in
person at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum, a majority of the directors
present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be
present. No notice of any adjourned meeting need be given.

       SECTION 2.6. Resignations. Any director may resign at any time by giving
written notice of resignation to the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the
Board, the President, or the Secretary. Unless otherwise specified in the
written notice, the resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

       SECTION 2.7. Removal of Directors. Any director, other than a director
elected by holders of preferred stock voting as a class, may be removed from
office at any time but only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of at
least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all of the outstanding

Corporation and that it is organized under the laws of the State of Indiana, the
name of the person to whom it is issued, and the number and class of shares and

class and the variations in rights, preferences and limitations determined for
each series (and the authority of the Board of Directors to determine variations
for future series). Every certificate (or book-entry statement) shall state
whether such shares have been fully paid and are non-assessable. If any such
shares are not fully paid, the certificate (or book-entry statement) shall be
legibly stamped to indicate the percentum which has been paid up, and as further
payments are made thereon, the certificate shall be stamped (or book-entry
statement updated) accordingly. Subject to the foregoing provisions,
certificates representing shares in the Corporation shall be in such form as
shall be approved by the Board of Directors. There shall be entered upon the
stock books of the Corporation at the time of the issuance or transfer of each
share the number of the certificates representing such share (if any), the name
of the person owning the shares represented thereby, the class of such share and

the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation or one of its transfer
agents and registrars of any loss or destruction of the certificate representing
the same. The Corporation may issue a new certificate in the place of any
certificate theretofore issued by it alleged to have been lost or destroyed upon
such terms and under such regulations as may be adopted by the Board of
Directors or the Secretary, and the Board of Directors or Secretary may require
the owner of the lost or destroyed certificate or the owner's legal
representatives to give the Corporation a bond in such form and for such amount
as the Board of Directors or Secretary may direct, and with such surety or
sureties as may be satisfactory to the Board of Directors or the Secretary to
indemnify the Corporation and its transfer agents and registrars against any
claim that may be made against it or any such transfer agent or registrar on
account of the alleged loss or destruction of any such certificate or the
issuance of such new certificate. A new certificate may be issued without
requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the
Secretary, it is proper so to do.

       SECTION 6.3. Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable expenses incurred by
or on behalf of an Eligible Person in connection with any Proceeding shall be
advanced to the Eligible Person by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after
the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the Eligible
Person requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to
or after final disposition of such Proceeding unless a determination has been
made pursuant to Section 6.4 that such Eligible Person is not entitled to
indemnification. Any such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the
expenses incurred by the Eligible Person and shall include any written
affirmation or undertaking to repay advances if it is ultimately determined that
the Eligible Person is not entitled to indemnification under this Article.

       SECTION 6.4. Procedures; Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings;
Remedies. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing provisions,
the following procedures, presumptions and remedies shall apply with respect to
and the right to indemnification and advancement of expenses under this Article.

       (a) To obtain indemnification under this Article, an Eligible Person
shall submit to the Secretary of the Corporation a written request, including
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Eligible
Person and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the
Eligible Person is entitled to indemnification (the "Supporting Documentation").
The determination of the Eligible Person's entitlement to indemnification shall
be made not later than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of the
written request together with the Supporting Documentation. The Secretary of the
Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such request, advise the Board in
writing of the Eligible Person's request.

       (b) An Eligible Person's entitlement to indemnification under this
Article shall be determined in one of the following methods, such method to be
selected by the Board of Directors, regardless of whether there are any
Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined): (i) by a majority vote of the
Disinterested Directors, if they constitute a quorum of the Board; (ii) by a
written opinion of Special Counsel (as hereinafter defined) if (A) a Change in
Control shall have occurred and the Eligible Person so requests or (B) a quorum
of the Board consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if
obtainable, a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (iii) by the
shareholders of the Corporation (but only if a majority of the Disinterested
Directors, if they constitute a quorum of the Board, presents the issue of
entitlement to the shareholders for their determination); or (iv) as provided in
subsection (d).

       (c) In the event of the determination of entitlement is to be made by
Special Counsel, a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall select the
Special Counsel, but only Special Counsel to which the Eligible Person does not
reasonably object; provided, however, that if a Change in Control shall have
occurred, the Eligible Person shall select such Special Counsel, but only
Special Counsel to which a majority of the Disinterested Directors does not
reasonably object.

       (d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article, if a Change
in Control shall have occurred, the Eligible Person shall be presumed to be
entitled to indemnification (with respect to actions or failures to act
occurring prior to such Change in Control) upon submission of a request for
indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation in accordance with
subsection (a), and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof to
overcome that presumption in reaching a contrary determination. In any event, if
the person or persons empowered under subsection (c) to determine entitlement
shall not have been


                                      -20-

<PAGE>


appointed or shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days
after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor together
with the Supporting Documentation, the Eligible Person shall be deemed
to be, and shall be, entitled to indemnification and advancement of expenses
unless (i) the Eligible Person misrepresented or failed to disclose a material
fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting
Documentation or (ii) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination
of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent,
shall not, of itself, adversely affect the right of an Eligible Person to
indemnification or create a presumption that the Eligible Person did not act in
good faith and in a manner which the Eligible Person reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to
any criminal proceeding, that the Eligible Person had reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

       (e) In the event that a determination is made that the Eligible Person is
not entitled to indemnification (i) the Eligible Person shall be entitled to
seek an adjudication of his or her entitlement to such indemnification either,
at the Eligible Person's sole option, in (A) an appropriate court of the state
of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction or (B) an arbitration to
be conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana, by a single arbitrator pursuant to the
rules of the American Arbitration Association; (ii) in any such judicial
proceeding or arbitration the Eligible Person shall not be prejudiced by reason
of the prior determination pursuant to this Section 6.4; and (iii) if a Change
in Control shall have occurred, in any such judicial proceeding or arbitration
the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Eligible Person is not
entitled to indemnification but only with respect to actions or failures to act
occurring prior to such Change in Control.

       (f) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made
that the Eligible Person is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall
be obligated to pay the amounts incurred by the Eligible Person within ten (10)
days after such determination has been made or deemed to have been made and
shall be conclusively bound by such determination unless (i) the Eligible Person
misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for
indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (ii) such indemnification
is prohibited by law. In the event that (A) any advancement of expenses is not
timely made pursuant to Section 6.3 or (B) payment of indemnification is not
made within ten (10) days after a determination of entitlement to
indemnification has been made, the Eligible Person shall be entitled to seek
judicial enforcement of the Corporation's obligation, to pay to the Eligible
Person such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the
State of Indiana or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the
right of the Eligible Person to receive indemnification hereunder due to the
occurrence of an event described in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection (f) (a
"Disqualifying Event"); provided, however, that in any




                                      -21-


<PAGE>

<PAGE>


such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving the occurrence of
such Disqualifying Event.

       (g) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 6.4 that the
procedures and presumptions of this Article are not valid, binding and
enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator
that the Corporation is bound by the provisions of this Article.

       (h) In the event that the Eligible Person seeks a judicial adjudication
of or an award in arbitration to enforce his or her rights under, or to recover
damages for breach of this Article, the Eligible Person shall be entitled to
recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation,
against, any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Eligible Person if
the Eligible Person prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it
shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that the
Eligible Person is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification
or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by the Eligible Person
in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be prorated
accordingly.

       SECTION 6.5.  Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Article:

       (a) "Change in Control" means any of the following events: (i) the
acquisition by any "person," as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), other than (A)
the Corporation, (B) any subsidiary of the Corporation, (C) any employee benefit
plan or employee stock plan of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the
Corporation or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to any such plan when
acting in that capacity, or (D) Lilly Endowment, Inc., of "beneficial ownership"
as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, directly or indirectly, of 20% or
more of the shares of the Corporation's capital stock the holders of which have
general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect at least a majority
of the Board (or which would have such voting power but for the application of
IC 23-1-42-1 through IC 23-1-42-11) ("Voting Stock"); (ii) the first day on
which less than two-thirds of the total membership of the Board shall be
Continuing Directors (as such term is defined in Article 13.(f) of the Articles
of Incorporation); (iii) the approval by the shareholders of the Corporation of
a merger, share exchange, or consolidation of the Corporation (a "Transaction"),
other than a Transaction which would result in the Voting Stock of the
Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent
(either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of
the surviving entity) more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Corporation or
such surviving entity immediately after such Transaction; or (iv) approval by
the shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation of the Corporation
or a sale of disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the
Corporation.

       (b) "Disinterested Director" means a Director who is not or was not a
party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by the
Eligible Person.

       (c) "Special Counsel" means a law firm or a member of a law firm that
neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent
any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification
under this Article. In addition, any person who, under applicable standards of
professional conduct, would have a conflict of interest in representing either
the Corporation or the Eligible Person in an action to determine the Eligible
Person's rights under this Article may not act as Special Counsel.

       SECTION 6.6. Indemnification of Agents. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Article, the Corporation may, consistent with the provisions
of applicable law, indemnify any person other than a director, officer or
employee of the Corporation who is or was an agent of the Corporation and who is
or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as party or a
witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or
completed Proceeding by reasons of the fact that such person is or was an agent
of the Corporation or, at the request of the Corporation, a director, officer,
partner, member, manager, employee, fiduciary or agent of a Covered Entity
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with such Proceeding. The Corporation may also advance expenses incurred by such
person in connection with any such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of
applicable law.

       SECTION 6.7. Effect of Amendment or Repeal. Neither the amendment or
repeal of, nor the adoption of a provision inconsistent with, any provision of
this Article shall adversely affect the rights of any Eligible Person under this
Article (i) with respect to any Proceeding commenced or threatened prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision or (ii) after the
occurrence of a Change in Control, with respect to any Proceeding arising out of
any action or omission occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of
an inconsistent provision, in either case without the written consent of such
Eligible Person.

       SECTION 6.8. Severability. If any of this Article shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article
(including, without limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article
containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that
are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to



                                      -23-


<PAGE>

<PAGE>


the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article (including, without
limitation, all portions of any Section of this Article containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to
the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

and across the center thereof the words:

                      "Established 1876 Incorporated 1901".

       SECTION 7.1.  Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Corporation shall
begin on the first day of January in each year and shall end on the thirty-first
day of the following December.

       SECTION 7.2. Amendment of By-laws. These By-laws may be amended or
repealed and new By-laws may be adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a
majority of the actual number of directors elected and qualified at any regular
or special meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that: (a) the notice or
waiver of notice of such meeting states in effect that consideration is to be
given at such meeting to the amendment or repeal of the By-laws or the adoption
of new By-laws; (b) no provision of these By-laws incorporating a provision of
Articles 9, 13 or 14 of the Articles of Incorporation may be amended except in a
manner consistent with those Articles as they may be amended in compliance with
the requirements stated therein; and (c) any amendment to Articles I and VI of
these By-laws shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of (i) the actual
number of directors elected and qualified, and (ii) the Continuing Directors, as

EXHIBIT 99        CAUTIONARY STATEMENT UNDER PRIVATE SECURITIES
                  LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 - "SAFE HARBOR" FOR
                  FORWARD-LOOKING DISCLOSURES

Certain  forward-looking  statements  are  included in this Form 10-Q and may be
made by Company  spokespersons based on current expectations of management.  All
forward-looking  statements  made  by the  Company  are  subject  to  risks  and
uncertainties. Certain factors, including but not limited to those listed below,
may cause actual  results to differ  materially  from current  expectations  and
historical results.

- -    Economic factors over which the Company has no control, including changes
     in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

- -    Competitive factors including generic competition as patents on key
     products, such as Prozac, expire; pricing pressures, both in the U.S. and
     abroad, primarily from managed care groups and government agencies; and
     technological advances and patents obtained by competitors.

- -    Governmental factors including laws and regulations and judicial decisions
     at the state and federal level related to Medicare, Medicaid and healthcare
     reform; and laws and regulations affecting international pricing and
     pharmaceutical reimbursement.

- -    The difficulties and uncertainties inherent in new product development. New
     product candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach
     the market or may not be as commercially successful as anticipated because
     of efficacy or safety concerns, inability to obtain necessary regulatory
     approvals, limitations on approved indications, difficulty or excessive
     costs to manufacture, or infringement of the patents or intellectual
     property rights of others.

- -    Delays and uncertainties in the FDA approval process and the approval
     processes in other countries, resulting in lost market opportunity.

- -    Unexpected safety or efficacy concerns arising with respect to marketed
     products, whether or not scientifically justified, leading to product
     recalls, withdrawals or declining sales.

- -    Legal factors including unanticipated litigation of product liability
     claims; antitrust litigation; environmental matters; and patent disputes
     with competitors which could preclude commercialization of products or
     negatively affect the profitability of existing products.

- -    Future difficulties obtaining or the inability to obtain existing levels of
     product liability insurance.

- -    Changes in tax laws, including the amendment to the Section 936 income tax
     credit, and future changes in tax laws related to the remittance of foreign
     earnings or investments in foreign countries with favorable tax rates.

- -    Changes in accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the American
     Institute of Certified Public Accountants which are adverse to the Company.

- -    Factors such as changes in business strategies and the impact of
     restructurings, impairments in asset carrying values and business
     combinations.

- -    Difficulties in modification or replacement of existing computer systems
     and/or software in order to render the Company's various computer systems
     ready for the year 2000, including the difficulties encountered by third
     party vendors and/or suppliers in their failure to render their systems
     and/or software to be ready for the year 2000.
