INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Procter & Gamble Company:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Procter & Gamble International Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan") as of
June 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years ended June 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998. 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
ended June 30, 2000, 1999, and 1998 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

PROCTER & GAMBLE INTERNATIONAL STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000, 1999, AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble International Stock
     Ownership Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information only.
     Participants should refer to the Plan agreement and their country's Plan
     supplement for more complete information.

     GENERAL -- The Plan is a defined contribution plan established in June of
     1992 for international employees of The Procter & Gamble Company and
     certain of its subsidiaries ("P&G"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide
     eligible employees the opportunity to purchase common stock of P&G through
     payroll deductions and contributions from P&G. The Plan is not subject to
     the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, nor is it subject to
     U.S. income taxation.

     PARTICIPATION AND VESTING -- Full-time employees are eligible to
     participate in the Plan on the first day of the month following the
     completion of one year of service. Participants are fully vested in all
     shares of P&G common stock credited to his or her account under the plan.

     ONE SHARE PROGRAM -- Each participant's account is credited with one share
     of P&G common stock as part of the One Share Program after completing one
     year of employment with P&G, regardless of participation in the Plan. The
     One Share Program has been terminated effective for employees hired on or
     after July 1, 2000.

     CONTRIBUTIONS -- Participants may contribute up to 15% of their base pay
     through payroll deductions. In addition, employees may elect to make a
     "Special Additional Deposit" as a lump sum payment once per month.
     Participants may change their contribution rate effective as of the first
     day of any month.

     P&G matches an amount equal to 50% of the first 5% of base pay contributed
     by participants. Employees in their initial year of eligibility receive a
     100% P&G matching contribution, up to 1% of his or her contributions.

     INVESTMENTS -- Participants are only permitted to invest in P&G common
     stock. All employee and employer contributions are converted into U.S.
     dollars and then invested in shares of P&G common stock on the 18th day of
     each month (or the first business day immediately following the 18th).
     Sales of P&G common stock occur two times per month and are subsequently
     converted into the applicable local currencies for payment to employees.
     Effective July 1, 2000, sales of P&G common stock occur once per week. Any
     dividends on shares of P&G common stock are invested in additional shares
     of P&G common stock.

     WITHDRAWALS -- Participants may withdraw any portion of their contributions
     made in excess of 5% of their base pay at any time during the year, with
     only one withdrawal per year. Contributions made up to 5% of base pay and
     P&G matches, including the One Share Program, are available to be withdrawn
     without penalty five years after the end of the plan year in which the
     deposits are made. If a participant withdrawals these funds prior to the
     completion of five years, P&G will suspend matching of employee
     contributions for one year. Withdrawals payable to participants as of June
     30, 2000 and 1999 were approximately $129,000 and $355,000, respectively.

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

     ADMINISTRATION -- The Plan is administered by P&G. All Plan assets are held
     by the trustee, Banque Internationale a Luxembourg (the "Trustee"). Buck
     Consultants provide recordkeeping services for the Plan.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING -- The accompanying financial statements have been
     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 P&G
     common stock is valued at the closing price on an established security
     exchange.

     EXPENSES OF THE PLAN -- Investment management, recordkeeping expenses, and
     other administrative expenses are paid by P&G. Brokerage commissions are
     paid by the participant, and other costs related to the purchase or sale of
     shares are reflected in the price of the shares and borne by the
     participant.

     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.

     CASH -- Amounts shown as cash are uninvested funds held by the Trustee that
     are to be invested in P&G common stock in the following month.

     CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVABLE -- Contributions that are pending transfer to the
     Trustee as of June 30, 2000 and 1999 are recorded as contributions
     receivable to the Plan in the accompanying financial statements.

3.   INVESTMENT IN P&G COMMON STOCK

     Investments in P&G common stock held by the Plan at June 30, 2000 and 1999
     were as follows:

                                                       2000             1999

          Number of shares                           3,836,333        3,410,560
          Market value                            $219,630,064     $304,392,480

4.   PLAN PARTICIPANTS

     As of June 30, 2000, the plan had approximately 39,000 participants
     employed at P&G's international locations in Argentina, Australia, Austria,
     Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Czech
     Republic, Denmark, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece,
     Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Korea, Latvia,
     Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria,
     Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Saudi
     Arabia, Singapore, Slovak Republic, South Africa, Spain, Sweden,
     Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Venezuela, and Yemen.

5.   TAX STATUS

     The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue
     Code, and is exempt from the provisions of Title I of ERISA pursuant to
     Section 4(b)(4) thereof. P&G believes that the Trustee should be viewed as
     a direct custodian and that, for U.S. tax purposes, the participating
     employees should be treated as the owners of the shares of P&G common stock
     held for their account under the Plan.

     Plan management believes that the participating employees should be treated
     as the beneficial owners of the shares of P&G common stock held for their
     account under the Plan for U.S. tax purposes and that, subject to certain
     procedural conditions, the information provided by the employees may be
     relied upon in determining the applicable U.S. tax withholding rate on
     dividends paid by P&G with respect to these shares.
