         provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
         No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
         Equity Securities, which requires certain investments to
         be recorded at fair value or amortized cost.  In

         recorded, net of tax and minority interest, in Stockholders' Equity 
         and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized
         cost.  Prior to 1994, the Company's investments were
         carried at the lower of cost or market.  At January 1,
         1994, the net unrealized gain associated with
         available-for-sale investments of $37.5 million, net of
         tax and minority interest, was included in Retained earnings.  The net
         unrealized gain included in Retained earnings at June 30,
         1994, amounted to $31.8 million, net of tax and minority interest.

         Interest paid for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994

         Management business and the November 1993 acquisition of
         Medco Containment Services, Inc., the relative importance
         of the Company's Specialty Chemical operations has
         substantially diminished in 1994 and management 
         views its Human and Animal Health business as a dominant
         industry segment.

             MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
             ------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the second quarter was $764.1 million, an increase of 10% over
the second quarter of 1993 excluding the effect of the 1993 second quarter
restructuring charge.  Earnings per share for the second quarter were $0.61,
level with the second quarter of 1993, on the same basis.  The dilution in the
earnings per share growth in 1994 is principally due to the additional shares
issued in November 1993 to complete the Medco acquisition.  Sales for the
quarter were $3.8 billion, up 47% from the same period last year.

For the first six months, net income was $1,439.2 million, an increase of 10%
from the first six months of 1993, excluding the effect of the 1993
restructuring charge.  Earnings per share on this basis were $1.15 for the
first six months, level with the first six months of 1993, which were also
impacted by the shares issued to complete the Medco acquisition.  Sales rose
48% to $7.3 billion.

Sales for the quarter and the first six months were affected by the Medco
acquisition and the sale of the Calgon Water Management business in 1993.
Adjusting for these effects, sales for the second quarter and first six months
increased 18% and 19%, respectively.

The difference between the aforementioned sales and net income growth rates on
a year-to-year basis stems predominantly from the lower gross margins
historically associated with Medco's business.

Sales growth for the first half was paced by newer products and the continued
growth of the Merck-Medco Managed Care business.  Both our domestic and
international operations reported solid unit volume gains.  Sales of Merck
human and animal health products and services increased 10% for the second
quarter.  Foreign exchange had essentially no impact on the second quarter
sales growth as compared to a one percentage point reduction in the first
quarter of 1994.  Price increases had virtually no effect on sales growth.


Sales outside the United States accounted for 31% of first half 1994 sales,
compared with 44% for the same period last year.  The 13 point shift is
principally due to higher domestic sales as a result of the Medco acquisition.

Income growth for the first six months resulted from strong unit volume
gains.  The unfavorable effects of exchange, inflation, product mix and a
higher tax rate were offset by cost controls and productivity improvements from
our continuing efforts to streamline and restructure our operations.

In the human and animal health products segment of Merck's business, results
for the first six months reflected strong unit sales gains by 'Vasotec',
'Vaseretic', 'Prinivil', 'Zocor', 'Pepcid', 'Prilosec', 'Proscar' and
ivermectin.  Significant volume growth in the Merck-Medco Managed Care business
added to the six-month sales increase.

'Vasotec', Merck's angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor for reducing
high blood pressure and treating heart failure, is sold in all major markets
and continues to be the leading branded product in the worldwide cardiovascular
market.

Merck's cholesterol-lowering agents, 'Mevacor' and 'Zocor', hold over 40% of
the worldwide cholesterol-lowering market and continued solid sales growth for
the first six months of 1994.  Unit sales for 'Mevacor', however, were down due
to strong competition and the recent low rate of growth in the
cholesterol-lowering market in the United States.  'Mevacor' remains the most
widely prescribed cholesterol-lowering agent in the treatment of patients with
primary elevated cholesterol.  Merck continues strategic initiatives to
increase appropriate usage.

MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
- - ------------------------------------------------------

'Pepcid', an H2-receptor antagonist for treatment of duodenal ulcers and the
short-term treatment of gastric ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD), continues to grow rapidly in the United States and maintains its
position against strong competition outside the United States.  A New Drug
Application was filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an
over-the-counter version.  An FDA advisory committee unanimously confirmed its
safety and concluded that resolution of discussions regarding the magnitude of
relief offered by the product should lead to the Committee's recommended 
approval for treatment and prevention of heartburn, acid indigestion and sour 
stomach.

'Prilosec', which is indicated for poorly responsive symptomatic GERD and as a
first-line therapy for short-term treatment of active duodenal ulcers and
severe erosive esophagitis, continues to show strong growth.

'Proscar', a significant medical advance for the treatment of symptomatic
benign prostate enlargement, a common condition that affects the majority of
men over the age of 50, has been introduced in over 50 countries, representing
nearly every major market including the United States.  The Company is
continuing an extensive medical and consumer education program worldwide to
heighten awareness of the disease, improve understanding of its natural history
and communicate the effects of treatment with 'Proscar'.

Ivermectin, Merck's broad-spectrum antiparasitic and the world's leading animal
health product, continues to show strong growth.

'Fosamax', Merck's new medicine for the treatment of post-menopausal
osteoporosis, was launched in Italy in November 1993.  Regulatory filings have
been made in 27 countries to date and a filing in the United States is
scheduled for early 1995.

Unit sales declined for a group of longer-established human and animal health
products due to competition.

The Merck-Medco U.S. Managed Care Division currently manages pharmaceutical
benefits for approximately 38 million plan participants, up strongly since the
time of the merger announcement.  Also, the Division has contracts with
managed-care organizations covering an additional 41 million individuals.
Merck-Medco is developing a series of disease management programs which use
patient and physician communication to improve drug therapy, promote better
health outcomes and lower the long-term costs of care associated with certain
chronic diseases.

In June 1994, Raymond V. Gilmartin became President and Chief Executive Officer
of Merck and was elected Chairman, effective November 1, succeeding Merck
Chairman, P. Roy Vagelos, M.D.

In July 1994, the Board of Directors elected a new member, Johnnetta Cole,
Ph.D.  Dr. Cole's term will begin in September 1994.

On July 26, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 30
cents a share on the Company's common stock for the fourth quarter of 1994
versus the 28 cents a share dividend paid in the third quarter of 1994.  The
30-cent dividend is payable October 1, 1994 to stockholders of record at the
close of business on September 9, 1994.  The Company's total dividends paid
during 1994 will be $1.14 per share, an 11% increase over the amount paid in
1993.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- - --------------------------

In May 1994, Kelco received a Notice of Violation (NOV) from EPA Region 9
alleging that Kelco failed to obtain agency pre-construction approvals required
by the Clean Air Act for physical modifications made at its San Diego facility.
It is likely that any final settlement of these and other possible 
violations will require the installation of additional pollution reduction
equipment, as well as the payment of a fine in excess of $100,000.

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------


    AGREEMENT, dated as of June 9, 1994 between Merck & Co., Inc., a New Jersey

Corporation (the "Company"), and Raymond V. Gilmartin (the "Employee").

    The Company and Employee desire to enter into an arrangement under which

Employee will serve the Company in the capacities of a director, Chairman of

the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer and they agree as

follows:


Section 1.  Term and Capacity of Employment
            -------------------------------

    (a)  The Company and Employee agree that Employee shall be employed by the

Company for a period commencing on June 16, 1994 and ending October 31, 1999

(the "Employment Period"), under the terms set forth in this Agreement.

Employee shall be elected a Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of

the Company effective June 16, 1994 and Chairman of the Board of Directors of

the Company effective November 1, 1994.

    (b)  Employee shall have the powers, responsibilities and authorities of

President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of

the Company as established by custom and practice.  He shall not, without the

consent of the Board of Directors, engage, directly or indirectly, in any other

business for compensation or profit except that he may, with the approval of

the Board of Directors, serve as a director of any other

<PAGE>   2
                                     - 2 -





Company which is not considered to be in competition with the Company and he

may receive compensation therefor.


Section 2.  Cash Compensation
            -----------------

    (a)  As compensation for Employee's services under this Agreement, the

Company shall pay Employee a salary, commencing on June 16, 1994, at the rate

of $1,000,000 per year (or at such higher rate as the Board of Directors may

from time-to-time determine), payable in equal monthly installments.

    (b)  As further compensation, Employee shall be eligible for an annual

award under the Executive Incentive Plan of the Company ("EIP") or any plan

which is a successor to EIP.  The award payable to Employee on account of

service in calendar year 1994 shall be at least $1,000,000, less any annual

bonus paid by his predecessor employer for that calendar year.


Section 3.  Equity Awards
            -------------

    (a)  In recognition of the forfeiture by Employee of common stock ownership

rights provided by his predecessor employer, Employee shall be granted, on June

16, 1994, an award under the Company's Incentive Stock Plan ("ISP") of 25,000

shares of Restricted Common Stock of the Company which shall vest on the fifth

anniversary of such grant.

    (b)  On June 16, 1994, Employee shall be granted under ISP a non-qualified

option priced at market value on the date of grant as determined under such

Plan.  Such option shall cover 500,000

<PAGE>   3
                                     - 3 -





shares of Common Stock of the Company and shall vest on the fifth anniversary

of such grant.  On February 28, 1995, Employee shall be granted a non-qualified

option under ISP covering 180,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at

market value on such date as determined under such Plan.  Such option shall

vest on the fifth anniversary of such grant.  In the event of Employee's death

or total disability (as defined in the Company's Long-Term Disability Plan),

the vesting of both such options shall be accelerated to the date of such death

or total disability.  Such options shall be exercisable for a period of five

years following vesting (three years in the event of death).

    (c)  After 1995 and during the Employment Period, Employee shall be

entitled to an annual stock option grant as determined by the Board of

Directors of the Company.


Section 4.  Retirement Benefits
            -------------------

    (a)  Upon termination of Employee's employment for any reason other than as

set forth in Section 6(b) hereof, the Company shall pay a retirement benefit

(or death benefit) to Employee (or his survivor) as determined under the

Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees of Merck & Co., Inc. and the

Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Plans") pursuant to the terms of the Plans

(net after offsetting retirement benefits payable by his predecessor employer).

The Plans are defined benefit plans based on a formula which includes the

average of the highest consecutive five years of salary and bonus during the

ten years
<PAGE>   4
                                     - 4 -





prior to retirement.  In determining benefits payable under such Plans, (1)

Employee's Credited Service shall equal his Credited Service under the Plans

plus 28 years, (2) Employee's final average compensation shall include

compensation from his predecessor employer if termination occurs during the

term of this Agreement, and (3) the percentage multiple used in the formula for

benefit calculation shall be 1.6%.


    (b)  If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b)

hereof, he shall be entitled to the greater of (i) the retirement benefit

payable under the Plans pursuant to the terms thereof or (ii) the retirement

benefit to which he would have been entitled under the retirement plan of his

predecessor employer on June 15, 1994 assuming he had reached the earliest

retirement age on such date.  Such benefit shall be net after offsetting

retirement benefits payable by his predecessor employer.


Section 5.  Participation in Other Benefit Plans
            ------------------------------------

    While employed by the Company, Employee shall be entitled to participate in

each of the Company's employee benefit plans for its salaried employees on a

basis comparable to the Company's other most senior executives.  It is

anticipated that Employee shall incur expenses necessary to the discharge of

his duties hereunder, and the Company shall reimburse Employee for those

expenses, in accordance with its established policies and such

<PAGE>   5
                                     - 5 -





other arrangements as may be approved by the Company from time-to-time.


Section 6.  Early Termination
            -----------------

    (a)  Either Employee or the Company may terminate Employee's employment

hereunder prior to the end of the Employment Period.

    (b)  If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company for "Gross

Cause" or is terminated by Employee without "Good Cause", he shall forfeit any

of his Equity Awards granted under Section 3 hereof which is not vested on the

date of such termination and the payment of all Cash Compensation and any

benefit entitlement under Section 5 hereof shall cease on the date of such

termination.  Retirement benefits shall be payable pursuant to Section 4(b)

hereof.  "Gross Cause" shall mean (i) Employee's conviction of a felony or (ii)

Employee's willful gross neglect or willful gross misconduct in carrying out

Employee's duties resulting, in either case, in material economic harm to the

Company, unless Employee believed in good faith that such act or non-act was in

the best interests of the Company.  "Good Cause" shall mean termination of

Employee's employment at the initiative of Employee within six months following

(i) any act or failure to act by the Board of Directors of the Company which

would cause Employee (A) to not be elected to the office of Chairman of the

Board of Directors on a date on or before November 1, 1994; (B) to be removed

from the office of President and Chief Executive Officer or the office of

Chairman of the

<PAGE>   6
                                     - 6 -





Board of Directors on a date earlier than the end of the Employment Period, or

(C) to not be nominated for election as a director by the shareholders of the

Company at any meeting of shareholders of the Company held for that purpose on

a date earlier than the end of the Employment Period; (ii) any significant

diminution in the powers, responsibilities and authorities described in Section

1(b) of this Agreement without the consent of Employee; (iii) the failure of

the Company to obtain in writing the assumption of its obligation to perform

this Agreement by any successor, prior to or concurrent with a merger,

consolidation, sale or similar transaction; and (iv) any material breach of

this Agreement by the Company which is unremedied after notice by Employee.

    (c)  If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company without "Gross

Cause" or by the Employee with "Good Cause", then Employee is entitled to

receive the Cash Compensation set forth in Section 2 hereof for a period of two

years from the date of termination of employment.  For such two-year period,

Credited Service for retirement purposes will continue to accrue and employee

benefits under Section 5 will continue to be payable.  The restricted stock

grant and stock option grant made on June 16, 1994 shall immediately vest on

the date of such termination of employment.  Such two-year period will be

considered a period of employment for purposes of determining the vesting of

any other stock option grant.

Section 7.  Resolution of Disputes
            ----------------------

    Any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be

resolved by arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with

the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association.  All costs,

fees and expenses of any arbitration (including reasonable fees and expenses of

Employee's counsel) in connection with this Agreement that results in any

decision requiring the Company to make any payment or provide any benefit to

Employee shall be borne by, and be the obligation of, the Company.  Judgment on

an award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having

jurisdiction thereof.


Section 8.  Survivorship
            ------------

    The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall

survive any termination of Employee's employment to the extent necessary to the

intended preservation of such rights and obligations.


Section 9.  Entire Agreement, Governing Law
            -------------------------------

    (a)  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto,

and it may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by both parties.

State of New York without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

    (c)  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written

agreement executed by Employee and the Company.


Section 10.  Undertaking by Company in Case of Sale or Liquidation of Assets
             ---------------------------------------------------------------

    The Company agrees that, in the event of the sale or liquidation of all or

substantially all of the assets of the Company, it shall take whatever action

it legally can in order to cause the assignee or transferee of such assets

expressly to assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company

hereunder.



    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the day

and year first above written.

For purposes of computing these ratios, "earnings" consist of income before
taxes and cumulative effect of accounting changes, one-third of rents (deemed
by the Company to be representative of the interest factor inherent in rent),
and interest expense, net of amounts capitalized.  "Fixed charges" consist of
one-third of rents and interest expense as reported in the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
