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 Giorgio Employee Savings Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, 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 December 31,
1999 and 1998, 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.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the
Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
1999 financial statements, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GIORGIO EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following brief description of the Giorgio Employee Savings Plan
     ("Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
     should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

     GENERAL - Effective August 30, 1994, The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G")
     acquired Giorgio Beverly Hills, Inc. ("Company") from Avon Products, Inc.
     Prior to the acquisition, certain employees of the Company participated in
     the Avon Employees' Savings and Stock Ownership Plan ("Predecessor Plan").
     Pursuant to the sales agreement with Avon, assets under the Predecessor
     Plan owned by employees of the Company were transferred to create the Plan
     on August 30, 1994. Effective January 1, 1997, the Giorgio Pension Plan, a
     defined contribution plan, was merged into the Plan.

     The Plan assets are held in a combined trust account, The Procter & Gamble
     Master Savings Trust ("Master Trust"), with the assets of other P&G
     sponsored defined contribution plans (see Note 4). Each of the plans
     participating in the Master Trust has a proportionate and undivided
     ownership interest in the Master Trust assets. The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING - Effective December 31, 1996, both employee and
     employer contributions to the Plan were suspended and all participants
     became fully vested. Plan participants became eligible to participate in
     The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     effective December 31, 1996.

     DISTRIBUTIONS - The Plan provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement,
     disability, death, or separation other than retirement as defined by the
     Plan document. Plan benefits may be made in a lump sum of cash or shares of
     common stock or as installment payments. Retired or terminated employees
     shall commence benefit payments upon attainment of age 70-1/2.

     WITHDRAWALS - A participant may withdraw any portion of after-tax
     contributions once in any six-month period. Participants who have attained
     age 59-1/2 or have demonstrated financial hardship may withdraw all or any
     portion of their before-tax contributions once in any six-month period.

     PLAN TERMINATION - Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do
     so, it has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the
     provisions of ERISA.

     ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by the Master Savings Plan
     Committee consisting of four members appointed by the Board of Directors of
     P&G, except for duties specifically vested in the trustee, PNC Bank, Ohio,
     N.A. ("PNC Bank"), who is also appointed by the Board of Directors of P&G.

     LOANS - The Plan has a loan feature under which active participants may
     borrow up to 50% of the current value of their vested account values (up to
     a maximum of $50,000). Loans are repayable via payroll deductions over a
     period of up to five years, except for loans used to purchase a primary
     residence which are repaid via payroll deduction over a period of up to 10
     years. Principal and interest paid is credited to applicable funds in the
     borrower's account. Upon participant termination or retirement, the
     outstanding loan balance is treated as a distribution to the participant.

     TRANSFER FROM UNAFFILIATED PLANS - Amounts represent account balances of
     Company employees transferred from unaffiliated plans.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Each participant's account is
     credited with an allocation of the Plan's earnings. The benefit to which a
     participant is entitled is limited to the benefit that can be provided from
     the participant's account. Participants may allocate their account in one
     or all of the following investment options offered by the Plan (Note 4):

          ENHANCED CASH FUND (formerly the Reserve Fund) - The prospectus
          indicates that this fund invests in short to medium length maturity,
          interest-bearing instruments.

          COMPANY STOCK FUND - A fund investing in shares of P&G common stock.

          ACTIVE FIXED-INCOME CORE FUND (FORMERLY THE MANAGED BOND FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates 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 LARGE BOND FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates that this fund invests in equity securities of
          approximately 300 domestic, large company stocks.

          DIVERSIFIED FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund invests in
          a balanced portfolio consisting of both equity and fixed securities.

          INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
          invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of foreign
          corporations.

          SMALL COMPANY EQUITY II FUND (FORMERLY THE SMALL COMPANY FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates that this fund invests in a portfolio of equity
          securities issued by small companies.

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements are prepared
     under the accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and
     transactions are recorded at fair value. The Plan's investment in P&G
     common stock is valued at the closing price on an established security
     exchange. 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 participating plan in the Master Trust
     by PNC Bank and to each participant's account by the Plan's recordkeeper.

     EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Investment management expenses are paid by the Plan
     in 1999. All other fees are paid by P&G. P&G paid all Plan expenses in
     1998.

     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.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - 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.   TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company
     by letter dated March 22, 1996, that the Plan and related trust are
     designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
     Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
     letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed
     and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable
     provisions of the IRC at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Therefore, the Plan
     Administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as of
     December 31, 1999 and 1998 and no provision for income taxes has been
     reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

4.   INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

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

     Use of a master trust permits the commingling of investments that fund
     various P&G-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 1999 and 1998 audited financial
     information regarding the net assets and investment income of the Master
     Trust:
