INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Procter & Gamble Master
  Savings Plan Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Profit Sharing Retirement Plan of The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company
(the "Plan") as of June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 of America. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2000
and 1999 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

THE PROFIT SHARING RETIREMENT PLAN OF
THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMMERCIAL COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following brief description of The Profit Sharing Retirement Plan of
     The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company (Plan) is provided for general
     information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document
     for more complete information.

     GENERAL - The Plan is funded through contributions by The Procter & Gamble
     Commercial Company, the Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Olay
     Company, Inc. (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Plan
     Sponsors"). The Plan Sponsors are wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Procter
     & Gamble Company (Company). Substantially all employees of the Plan
     Sponsors are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of one
     year of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
     Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

     All Plan assets are held in The Procter & Gamble Master Savings Trust
     (Master Trust) at June 30, 2000 and 1999, along with the assets of other
     Company sponsored defined contribution plans (see Note 4). Each Company
     sponsored plan participating in the Master Trust has a proportionate and
     undivided ownership interest in the Master Trust assets.

     CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING - The Plan Sponsors make contributions to the
     Plan each year based upon the amount of compensation and number of credit
     service years of each Plan participant, as defined by the Plan agreement,
     up to specified limitations. The Plan Sponsors' contributions are
     calculated by applying the relevant participation percentage to the total
     compensation, both as defined by the Plan. Participants are not permitted
     to make contributions to the Plan. The following schedule details the
     participation percentages by years of service.

                                                           PARTICIPATION
        YEARS OF SERVICE                                    PERCENTAGE

        1-3                                                      8%
        4-6                                                      9%
        7-8                                                      10%
        9-10                                                     11%
        11-12                                                    12%
        13-14                                                    13%
        15 or more                                               14%

     Participants are vested 100% upon completion of five years of service.
     Participants are also 100% vested in their accounts upon termination for
     disability, early or normal retirement, death and also upon attainment of
     65 years of age, regardless of years of service.

     DISTRIBUTIONS - Distributions of Plan benefits may be made in a lump sum or
     in installment payments over a period not to exceed fifteen years after the
     date of death, termination, retirement, or disability. Distributions
     payable to participants as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 are approximately
     $59,000 and $161,000, respectively.

     FORFEITURES - Participants who terminate service prior to vesting forfeit
     their account balance. If the participant is rehired prior to a five-year
     break in service, as defined by the Plan, the amount which was forfeited is
     restored to the participant's account. Forfeited amounts are used to reduce
     the Plan Sponsors' annual contributions.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - As described in the Plan document, participants may
     allocate contributions made to their account in one or all of the following
     investment options offered by the Master Trust (Note 4):

          ENHANCED CASH FUND (FORMERLY THE RESERVE FUND) - The prospectus states
          that this fund invests in short to medium length maturity,
          interest-bearing instruments.

          COMPANY STOCK FUND - This fund invests in shares of The Procter &
          Gamble Company common stock.

          ACTIVE FIXED-INCOME CORE FUND (FORMERLY THE MANAGED BOND FUND) - The
          prospectus states that this fund invests in a diversified portfolio of
          publicly and privately traded corporate, government, international and
          mortgage backed bonds.

          DISCIPLINED EQUITY FUND (FORMERLY THE MANAGEMENT LARGE COMPANY FUND) -
          The prospectus states that this fund invests in equity securities of
          approximately 300 domestic, large company stocks.

          DIVERSIFIED FUND - The prospectus states that this fund invests in
          both equity and fixed-income securities.

          SMALL COMPANY FUND - The prospectus states that this fund invests in a
          portfolio of equity securities issued by small companies.

          EAFE EQUITY CORE RFUND (FORMERLY THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND) - The
          prospectus states that this fund invests in a diversified portfolio of
          equity securities of foreign corporations.

     PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
     Plan Sponsors have the right under the Plan to discontinue their
     contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the
     provisions of ERISA. If the Plan is terminated, participants will become
     fully vested in their accounts and the net assets of the Plan will be
     distributed in an order of priority determined in accordance with ERISA and
     its applicable regulations and the Plan document.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements are prepared on
     the accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and transactions
     are recorded at fair value. The Plan's investment in the Company common
     stock is valued at the closing price on established security exchanges. The
     Plan's investment funds (funds) are valued by the fund manager, JP Morgan
     Investment Management, Inc., based upon the fair value of the funds'
     underlying investments. Income from investments is recognized when earned
     and is allocated to each plan participating in the Master Trust by PNC
     Bank, Ohio, N.A., (PNC Bank), the trustee of the Plan and to each
     participant's account by the Plan's recordkeeper.

     EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Fees charged by the investment manager are paid by
     the Plan, while all other fees are paid by the Company.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America 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.

     RECLASSIFICATION - The Plan has adopted Statement of Position 99-3,
     "Accounting and Reporting of Certain Employee Benefit Plan Investments and
     Other Disclosure Matters." As a result, the financial statements have been
     revised to eliminate the by-fund disclosures.

3.   INCOME TAX STATUS

     The Plan is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes under the provisions of
     Section 165(a) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954, as amended. The
     Plan is also a qualified employees' trust under Section 401(a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, as such, is exempt from federal income
     taxes under Section 501(a). The Plan has been amended since receiving the
     latest determination letters. However, the plan administrator believes that
     the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 and the
     IRC. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as
     of June 30, 2000 and 1999 and no provision for income taxes has been
     reflected.

4.   INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company formed the Master Trust in
     accordance with a master trust agreement with PNC Bank.

     Use of a master trust permits the commingling of various Company-sponsored
     defined contribution plans for investment and administrative purposes.
     Although assets are commingled in the Master Trust, PNC Bank maintains
     records for the purpose of allocating contributions and changes in net
     assets of the Master Trust to participating plans based upon each plan's
     proportionate interest in the Master Trust. The following represents the
     2000 and 1999 audited financial information regarding the net assets and
     investment income of the Master Trust:
