NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED
($S IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE DATA)
A - INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial information presented herein is unaudited. The
interim financial statements and notes thereto do not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
are reflected in the interim period financial statements presented. The current
period's results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that
ultimately may be achieved for the year. The company is presenting its
consolidated statement of earnings in a "single-step" format and, accordingly,
reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to this
presentation.
Goodwill that is not identified with impaired assets is accounted for under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 17 and, accordingly, is assessed
for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the goodwill may not be recoverable. If such an impairment
indicator exists, an estimate of future cash flows is developed and compared to
the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the expected undiscounted cash flows
are less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, an impairment is triggered
and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying
amount of the goodwill and discounted cash flows.
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement requires companies to record derivatives on
the balance sheet as assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The
accounting treatment of gains and losses resulting from changes in the value of
derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for
hedge accounting. The company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 no earlier than
January 1, 2000, and is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its
financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

<PAGE> 9
C - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The consolidated balance sheets include accruals for estimated product
litigation and environmental liabilities. The latter includes exposures related
to discontinued operations, including the industrial chemical facility referred
to below and several sites which, under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, are commonly known as Superfund
sites (see Note D). The company's ultimate liability in connection with
Superfund sites depends on many factors, including the number of other
responsible parties and their financial viability and the remediation methods
and technology to be used. Actual costs to be incurred may vary from the
estimates given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental
exposures.
With regard to its discontinued industrial chemical facility in North Haven,
Connecticut, the company may soon be required to submit a corrective measures
study report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As the
corrective action process progresses, it may become appropriate to reevaluate
the existing reserves designated for remediation in light of changing
circumstances. It is reasonably possible that a material increase in accrued
liabilities will be required but it is not possible to determine what, if any,
exposure exists at this time, nor is it possible to estimate the range of
potential costs.
D - LITIGATION
The company is involved in a number of legal and environmental proceedings.
These include a substantial number of product liability suits claiming damages
as a result of the use of the company's products as well as administrative and
judicial proceedings at approximately 50 Superfund sites.
While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of legal actions
brought against the company, or the ultimate cost of environmental matters, the
company continues to believe that any potentially unaccrued costs and
liabilities associated with such matters should not have a material adverse
effect on the company's consolidated financial position, and unless there is a
significant deviation from the historical pattern of resolution of these
issues, there should not be a material adverse effect on the company's results
of operations or liquidity.
The company has been a party along with a number of other defendants (both
manufacturers and wholesalers) in several federal civil antitrust lawsuits,
some of which were consolidated and transferred to the Federal District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois. These suits, brought by independent
pharmacies and chains, generally allege unlawful conspiracy, price
discrimination and price fixing and, in some cases, unfair competition, and
specifically allege that the company and the other named defendants violated
the following: (1) the Robinson-Patman Act by giving substantial discounts to
hospitals, nursing homes, mail-order pharmacies and health maintenance
organizations ("HMOs") without offering the same discounts to retail
drugstores, and (2) Section I of the Sherman Antitrust Act by entering into
illegal vertical combination with other manufacturers and wholesalers to
restrict certain discounts and rebates so they benefited only favored
customers. The Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
certified a national class of retail pharmacies in November 1994. Similar
actions by proposed retailer classes have been filed in the state courts of
Alabama, California, Minnesota, Mississippi,
9
<PAGE> 10
and Wisconsin. Eighteen class action lawsuits seeking damages based on the same
alleged conduct have been filed in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The
plaintiffs claim to represent consumers who purchased prescription drugs in
those jurisdictions and four other states. Two of the lawsuits have been
dismissed. The company announced in 1998 that it reached a settlement with the
plaintiffs in the federal class action cases for $103 which was paid during the
first quarter of 1999.
10
<PAGE> 11
D - LITIGATION (continued)
The company believes that any potential remaining liability above amounts
accrued will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated
financial position, its results of operations, or liquidity.
E - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 was $372 and $309, respectively. Total comprehensive income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $474 and $412, respectively.
F - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to
holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed assuming the exercise
of stock options and warrants, conversion of preferred stock and debt, and the
issuance of stock as incentive compensation to certain employees. Under these
assumptions, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is
increased accordingly, and net earnings is adjusted by the after-tax interest
effects of convertible debt and reduced by an incremental contribution to the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). This contribution is the after-tax
difference between (1) the income the ESOP would have received in preferred
stock dividends and (2) the dividend on the common shares assumed to have been
outstanding.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted earnings per share computations:

H - 1999 MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING
On August 31, 1999, the company completed its merger with SUGEN, Inc. (Sugen)
by exchanging approximately 10 million shares of its common stock for all of
the common stock of Sugen. Each share of Sugen common stock was exchanged for
.6091 of one share of Pharmacia & Upjohn (P&U) common stock. In addition, terms
on outstanding Sugen stock options, stock warrants, convertible debt, and
warrants on convertible debt were changed to convert Sugen shares to P&U shares
using the same exchange ratio.
The merger, a tax-free reorganization, was accounted for as a pooling of
interests under APB Opinion No. 16. As a result, all prior period consolidated
financial statements presented have been restated to include the combined
results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of both companies as
if Sugen had always been a part of P&U. There were no transactions between P&U
and Sugen prior to the combination. Immaterial reclassifications were recorded
to conform Sugen's financial statements to P&U's presentation.
The results of operations for the separate companies and the combined amounts
presented in the consolidated financial statements follow. The adjustment
represents the tax benefit of Sugen's net operating loss which had been fully
reserved for by Sugen.

H - 1999 MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING (continued)
In connection with the merger, the company recorded $32 in merger and
restructuring expenses in the third quarter of 1999. The charge consisted of
merger transaction costs such as fees for investment bankers, attorneys,
accountants, and other costs to effect the merger. The charge also included
costs pertaining to reorganizations which will result in the termination of
certain R&D projects as well as the elimination of 91 employee positions in R&D
and sales. Termination benefits approximate $12. Cash expenditures related to
the restructuring costs are expected in the first half of 2000.
I - TURNAROUND RESTRUCTURING
The company announced a global turnaround program in 1997 to rationalize
infrastructure, establish a global headquarters, and eliminate duplicate
resources in manufacturing, administration, and research and development. The
program was implemented in two phases throughout 1998. At September 30, 1999,
the remaining accrual balance was $70 and related principally to the
fourth-quarter 1998 phase of the turnaround program. Cash spending caused the
decrease in the accrual.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL REVIEW
OVERVIEW
In the following discussion of the consolidated results of Pharmacia & Upjohn
(P&U, or the company), earnings per share data are presented on a diluted basis
and the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 are
compared to the corresponding periods in 1998 unless otherwise noted. The table
below provides an overview of reported results in millions of U.S. dollars,
except per-share data.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Third Quarter Nine Months
----------------------- ---------------------
Percent Percent
1999 Change 1998 1999 Change 1998
------ ------- ------ ------ ------- ------
<S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C>
Net sales $1,776 6.4% $1,669 $5,310 8.2% $4,909
Earnings before income taxes 267 (14.3) 312 844 7.5 785
Net earnings 185 (9.2) 204 589 15.6 509
Net earnings per common share:
Basic $ .35 (10.3) $ .39 $ 1.12 15.5 $ .97
Diluted $ .34 (10.5) $ .38 $ 1.09 14.7 $ .95
</TABLE>
As shown above, net earnings grew 16 percent in the first nine months of 1999
despite a 9 percent decline in the third quarter. An increase in sales, an
improvement in gross margin, and a reduction in the effective tax rate in both
the quarter and first nine months favorably impacted net earnings. However,
higher 1999 expense levels moderated this earnings growth on a year-to-date
comparison and led to the earnings decline in the quarter. Events in the third
quarter that caused higher expense levels included the merger with SUGEN, Inc.
(Sugen) and the equity investment in Sensus Drug Development Corporation
(Sensus).
P&U merged with Sugen, a leader in target-driven drug discovery and development,
to strengthen its research and development efforts in cell signaling and
oncology. Cell signaling is a process that controls cancer and other diseases.
The merger was completed on August 31 and called for the exchange of
approximately 10 million shares of P&U stock for all the outstanding common
stock of Sugen. Because the merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests,
all prior-period financial data have been restated to include Sugen's results as
if it had always been a part of P&U. Also during the third quarter, P&U acquired
20 percent of Sensus, a privately held company focused on developing drugs to
treat endocrine disorders. The Sensus investment, accounted for using the equity
method, is expected to expand P&U's leadership position in endocrinology.
Sugen and Sensus spending consisted largely of research and development (R&D)
expense and, in 1999, totaled $24 million in the quarter and $71 million
year-to-date. In 1998, Sugen expenses totaled $10 million in the third quarter
and $30 million in the first nine months. In addition to this ongoing spending,
the company recorded an additional $61 million in charges in the third quarter
associated with the Sugen and Sensus transactions. Of this total, $32 million
represented merger and restructuring expenses. The remaining $29 million
represented write-offs for acquired in-process R&D and existing R&D project
terminations and was classified as R&D expense on the consolidated statement of
earnings.
The impact of the Sugen and Sensus transactions in 1999 was $0.13 per share in
the third quarter and $0.21 per share year-to-date. Inclusion of Sugen's results
in 1998 had a $0.03 per share impact in the quarter and $0.10 per share effect
in the first nine months. The previously disclosed $61 million increase in
reserves due to the retail pharmacy litigation settlement in 1998 produced an
additional $0.08 per share effect in the first nine months. In both years, the
per share impact of Sugen incorporated not only additional spending but also an
increase in the number of common shares outstanding. In 1998, the effect of
Sugen also reflected an increase in tax expense, a consequence of reassessed tax
valuation allowances.

<PAGE> 18
NET SALES
During the last two years, the company has sold its biotechnology business and
substantially all of its nutrition business. The following discussion excludes
sales of these divested businesses from total reported sales to facilitate
year-to-year comparisons.
Consolidated sales increased 10 percent in the third quarter and 13 percent in
the first nine months of 1999. In both periods, the majority of growth
represented an increase in volume. Volume growth was driven by strong
performances of key products DETROL and CAMPTOSAR in the U.S. and XALATAN in the
U.S. and Europe. Currency exchange had no net impact on sales as favorable
effects from the strengthening yen were offset by unfavorable effects from
weakening European currencies.
As shown in the table below, sales in the U.S. rose 14 percent in the third
quarter and 21 percent year-to-date while sales outside the U.S. increased 8
percent in both periods. The proportion of global sales from the U.S. continues
to rise and now represents 42 percent of total consolidated sales in the
quarter and 41 percent year-to-date. In Japan, the company's second largest
market and the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world, sales
increased 34 percent in the third quarter and 28 percent year-to-date
reflecting improved performance and favorable currency effects. Sales
performance by country in the following table is based on location of customer

*Excludes divested businesses
The increase in pharmaceutical segment sales was driven by a 13 percent
increase in the U.S. in the third quarter and a 20 percent increase in the U.S.
in the first nine months. Outside the U.S., pharmaceutical segment sales grew 9
percent in both periods. Performance of the nonpharmaceutical segment improved
slightly in the period-to-period comparisons. Pharmaceutical segment profits
were $337 million in the third quarter of 1999, down from $367 million in the
prior-period quarter. Year-to-date, profits were $1,034 million in 1999, up
from $946 million in the prior year. Nonpharmaceutical segment profits also
increased in the quarter but fell year-to-date. In accordance with the
previously announced strategy to focus on its core pharmaceutical business, the
company completed the sale of its nutrition business in Germany during the
third quarter and recorded a net gain on the sale. The company expects to sell
its remaining nutrition business in China in the fourth quarter. Additional
segment information may be found in Note G to the consolidated financial
statements.

DETROL/DETRUSITOL, the leading therapy for overactive bladder with symptoms of
urinary urgency, frequency and urge incontinence, led product sales growth in
the third quarter and first nine months of 1999. The product, launched in the
U.S. in April 1998, continued to exhibit strong growth in the U.S. and in most
major European markets. Market development remains the focus of the company's
promotional activities in order to maximize the potential of the overactive
bladder market.
XALATAN, a novel therapy for open-angle glaucoma, posted double-digit growth
both in the quarter and year-to-date to become the company's top selling
product. Third-quarter sales were strong in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In
preparation for the May 1999 launch in Japan, the world's second largest
glaucoma market, the company increased the size of its ophthalmology sales
force.
Other products achieving double-digit growth in both the third quarter and
first nine months of 1999 included CAMPTOSAR, FRAGMIN, ROGAINE, MIRAPEX, and
MEDROL. Sales of CAMPTOSAR, a treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer,
continued to benefit from studies showing improved survival rates compared to
standard treatment for
21
<PAGE> 22
metastatic colorectal cancer. Growth of FRAGMIN, a low molecular weight heparin
for preventing the formation of blood clots, was driven by new indications for
unstable angina and hip replacement surgery. ROGAINE/REGAINE, a treatment for
hereditary hair loss, enjoyed strong growth in the U.S., its largest market.
MIRAPEX, a treatment for Parkinson's disease, maintained its position as the
leading dopamine agonist in the U.S. market. Growth of MEDROL was driven by
increased penetration in existing indications. Strong performance in Asia was
partially due to the favorable effects of exchange.
Several key products posted double-digit growth in the first nine months but
experienced more moderate growth in the third quarter. Market share of the
growth hormone GENOTROPIN continued to increase in the U.S. but treatment
restrictions imposed by the Japan government are restraining growth in that
country. The strong yen favorably impacted year-to-date growth in Japan. The
NICORETTE line of products to treat tobacco dependency performed well
year-to-date largely due to the new mint-flavored NICORETTE gum introduced in
the U.S. in the beginning of 1999. Due to continuously increased demand for the
gum in the U.S., a necessary safety stock was built up during the first two
quarters of 1999. Outside the U.S., the NICORETTE line demonstrated good
quarterly growth. In local currency, oncology product PHARMORUBICIN recorded
strong year-to-date sales both in Asia and Europe, while third quarter sales
increases were lower, particularly in Japan. In the U.S., the company launched
the product under the name ELLENCE in October 1999 for the treatment of breast
cancer. The antibiotic CLEOCIN/DALACIN recorded higher sales in the first nine
months of 1999 despite relatively flat performances in the second and third
quarters due to the influence of trade inventory purchasing in the first
quarter of 1999. CLEOCIN also benefited in the U.S. from competitor supply
problems.
Other product developments in 1999 included the company's launch of PLETAL in
the U.S. for the treatment of intermittent claudication, a symptom of
peripheral arterial disease that occurs in the lower extremities. The
approvable letter from the FDA in July for VESTRA, a new antidepressant,
requested that the company provide additional data. Consequently, the launch of
the product in the U.S. is expected during 2000. In October, the company
received approval for AROMASIN for advanced breast cancer and an approvable
letter for LUNELLE, a once-a-month hormonal contraceptive.

An improving product and business mix, the divestment of the lower-margin
nutrition business, and the company's cost reduction initiatives were the
primary factors causing the decrease in cost of products sold as a percentage
of sales in both the quarter and first nine months. Newer products,
representing an increasing percentage of the company's sales, contributed a
higher gross margin than older products in intense price competition.

R&D 21.0% 16.7% 19.8% 17.7%
</TABLE>
In 1999, R&D expense rose as a percentage of sales in both the third quarter
and first nine months. In the third quarter, the company recorded $33 million
in charges related to the reprioritization of existing projects due to the
Sugen merger; the write-off of acquired in-process R&D related to the Sensus
equity investment; and the company's share of Sensus R&D spending. Sugen
spending also contributed to higher R&D spending in 1999 primarily due to the
progression and expansion of clinical studies. Sugen expenses and the
aforementioned $33 million charge increased R&D as a percent of sales by 3
percentage points in the quarter and 2 percentage points year-to-date. The
remaining increase was due to the greater number of external research
collaborations in 1999 and higher spending on Phase III and Phase IV clinical
trials, in particular for DETROL, XALATAN, GENOTROPIN, and ZYVOX. The company
filed for approval of ZYVOX, the first product in a new class of antibiotics, in
October 1999 and has been granted a priority review by FDA.

</TABLE>
SG&A expense as a percent of sales increased in the quarter but remained
constant year-to-date. In 1998, SG&A expense included a $61 million increase in
litigation reserves related to the July 1998 settlement of a federal
class-action lawsuit filed in 1993 on behalf of retail pharmacies. Excluding
this 1998 charge, SG&A expense as a percent of sales rose approximately one
percentage point in 1999. The increase was chiefly due to sales force
expansions in the U.S., Japan, and Europe as well as increased promotional
expense, particularly for DETROL/DETRUSITOL, XALATAN, GLYSET, and
VESTRA/EDRONAX.
MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING
In connection with the Sugen merger, the company recorded $32 million in merger
and restructuring expenses in the third quarter of 1999. The charge consisted of
merger transaction costs such as fees for investment bankers, attorneys,
accountants, and other costs to effect the merger. The charge also included
costs pertaining to reorganizations which will result in the termination of
certain R&D projects as well as the elimination of 91 employee positions in R&D
and sales. Related cash expenditures are expected in the first half of 2000.
Management anticipates merger and restructuring charges for the full year to
range between $80-$100 million.
The turnaround restructuring program was announced in 1997 and largely
implemented in 1998. The purpose of the program was to rationalize
infrastructure, establish a global headquarters, and eliminate duplicate
resources in manufacturing, administration, and R&D. At September 30, 1999, the
remaining restructuring accrual
23
<PAGE> 24
balance for the turnaround program was $70 million. Cash spending in the first
nine months of 1999, largely for employee separation costs, approximated $61
million. For the same period in 1998, cash spending was $67 million.
P&U also incurred turnaround-related charges in 1999 and 1998. These charges,
while not included in restructuring, are associated with the turnaround program
and recorded on the consolidated statements of earnings in cost of products
sold, R&D expense, SG&A expense, and All Other Net. Turnaround-related costs
include relocation expenses to establish the global headquarters in New Jersey
and registration and validation costs associated with the company's
manufacturing rationalization program.
OTHER
In both the quarter and year-to-date periods, the significant decline in net
interest income was due to a drop in interest income and a rise in interest
expense. Declining investment balances drove interest income lower. New debt
issued by Sugen early in 1999 increased interest expense.
Many factors contributed to the fluctuations in All Other Net. In the third
quarter, the net gain on the sale of the nutrition business in Germany was
largely offset by relocation costs associated with the establishment of the new
corporate headquarters. In addition, royalty income for the quarter included
amounts attributable to the newly approved generic form of ROGAINE in Japan
offset in part by declining royalties associated with LUVOX. Despite the third
quarter improvement, All Other Net declined year-to-date reflecting the
continued decline in alliance income.
The estimated annual effective tax rate improved to 30 percent in 1999 from 35
percent in 1998. The rate improved 2 percentage points from 1998 to 1999 as a
result of higher earnings in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Inclusion of
Sugen in consolidated results led to a 3 percentage point increase in the 1998
effective tax rate. The rate increase was the result of higher deferred tax
asset valuation allowances in 1998 which had no effect in 1999.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income equals net earnings plus "other comprehensive income"
(OCI). OCI includes currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and
losses on available-for-sale securities, and minimum pension liability
adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the three months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, was $372 million and $309 million, respectively. For the
first nine months, total comprehensive income was $474 million in 1999 and $412
million in 1998. The difference between net earnings and comprehensive income
in both quarters was largely due to favorable currency translation adjustments
reflecting the weakening of the dollar against most major currencies at
September 30 as compared to the previous June 30. The difference between net
earnings and comprehensive income in both year-to-date periods was largely due
to unfavorable currency translation adjustments reflecting the greater strength
of the dollar against most major currencies at September 30 as compared to the
previous December 31.

</TABLE>
The company's working capital and current ratio decreased at the end of the
third quarter as compared to year-end due to an increase in short-term debt.
The higher short-term debt levels also caused the increase in the percentage of
debt to total capitalization as well as the decrease in net financial assets,
as shown below. Significant cash payments in the first nine months of 1999,
including expenditures for the stock repurchase program (now rescinded, see
below), purchases of intangibles, settlement of the retail pharmacy lawsuit,
final payment related to the 1997 Genotropin agreement, and the equity
investment in Sensus created the need for higher short-term debt levels. In
addition, $200 million of long-term debt maturing within a year was
reclassified to short-term debt during the second quarter of 1999.

</TABLE>
Net cash provided by operations for the first nine months of 1999 decreased to
$405 million from $617 million for the same period in 1998. Higher 1999 net
earnings were more than offset by the previously mentioned large cash
expenditures made during the first nine months of the year. Within investment
activities, a major use of cash in 1999 was the purchase of intangibles. This
use was offset by the proceeds from the sale of the nutrition business. In both
years, expenditures for property, plant, and equipment represented a primary
use of cash. Capital expenditures in 1999 mainly relate to expansion and
improvement of the headquarters in New Jersey and manufacturing facilities in
Ireland, Puerto Rico, and Sweden. Within financing activities, expenditures for
the quarterly dividend represented a principal use of cash in both 1999 and
1998. In 1999, short-term debt represented a significant source of cash while
the purchase of company stock under the stock repurchase program represented a
significant use of cash. In August, the company rescinded the remaining portion
of its $1 billion share repurchase program originally announced in November
1998. Since the announcement, the company acquired approximately $215 million
of its shares. The rescission of the program was necessitated by the
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment of the Sugen merger.
The company's future cash provided by operations and borrowing capacity are
expected to cover normal operating cash flow needs, planned capital
acquisitions, and dividend payments for the foreseeable future.
LITIGATION
Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily
for personal injury alleged to have been caused by the use of the company's
products, are pending against the company and its subsidiaries. The company
also is involved in several administrative and judicial proceedings relating to
environmental
25
<PAGE> 26
concerns, including actions brought by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and state environmental agencies for remedial cleanup at approximately 50
sites.
Based on information currently available and the company's experience with
lawsuits of the nature of those currently filed or anticipated to be filed
which have resulted from business activities to date, the amounts accrued for
product and environmental liabilities are considered adequate. Although the
company cannot predict and cannot make assurances with respect to the outcome
of individual lawsuits, the ultimate liability should not have a material
effect on its consolidated financial position. Unless there is a significant
deviation from the historical pattern of resolution of such issues, the
ultimate liability should not have a material adverse effect on the company's
results of operations or liquidity.
The company has been a party, along with many other U.S. drug manufacturers and
wholesalers, in numerous related federal and state civil antitrust lawsuits
brought by U.S. independent and chain retail pharmacies and consumers. These
suits claim violations of antitrust and pricing laws as a result of the
defendants providing discounts and rebates to allegedly favored managed care
customers that were not offered to the plaintiffs. Several of the suits are
class actions. The company announced in July 1998 that it has reached a
settlement with plaintiffs in the federal class action cases that had been
consolidated in federal court in Chicago, Illinois. The company believes that
any potential remaining liability above amounts accrued will not have a
material adverse effect on the its consolidated financial position, its results
of operations, or liquidity. Further discussion of current litigation matters
is provided in Note D to the consolidated financial statements.
26
<PAGE> 27
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The company's estimate of the ultimate cost to be incurred in connection with
environmental situations could change due to uncertainties at many sites with
respect to potential cleanup remedies, the estimated cost of cleanup, and the
company's share of a site's cost. With regard to its discontinued industrial
chemical facility in North Haven, Connecticut, the company may soon be required
to submit a corrective measures study report to the EPA. As the corrective
action process progresses, it may become appropriate to reevaluate the existing
reserves designated for remediation in light of changing circumstances. It is
reasonably possible that a material increase in accrued liabilities will be
required but it is not possible to determine what, if any, exposure exists at
this time, nor is it possible to estimate the range of potential costs.
YEAR 2000 DATE RECOGNITION PROGRAM
The company's global program to address the year 2000 (Y2K) date recognition
problem continues to make good progress towards its ultimate goal to ensure the
millennium event does not have a material adverse effect on the company's
operations. The project, launched in early 1997 and managed by a global team
consisting of technical, functional and business leaders, is led by a program
director who reports to the chief information officer and an executive
operations group. Hundreds of employees worldwide are involved in this effort.
The program encompasses three distinct efforts: (1) assessment and remediation
of information technology (IT) systems; (2) assessment and remediation of
embedded systems; and (3) assessment of high-level business risks and
development of contingency plans to address those risks. Status reports of the
global program's progress have been regularly provided to the company's board
of directors since the inception of the program.
As of September 30, 1999, the assessment, remediation, and testing for all
business-critical IT and embedded systems was 99 percent complete. Remediation
of remaining systems will take place during regularly scheduled shutdown
periods during the fourth quarter. Required integration testing was completed
during the third quarter. Integration testing is more comprehensive than
individual system testing and is performed to increase the likelihood that
critical systems will work together in 2000 and beyond. The high-level business
risk assessment is completed and development of the resulting contingency plans
is substantially completed as of September 30, 1999. The company is making
specific operational plans for the millennium rollover period which include
establishing command centers at almost every location to quickly gather and
disseminate information.
An independent assessment of the program was completed in April 1999. The
report concluded that the company should reach a level of "operational
sustainability" through the year 2000. As defined by the independent assessor,
achieving this level of operational sustainability provides assurance that an
organization has eliminated risk of revenue-interrupting Y2K failures. The
company's global program was assessed as "very good" in comparison to the
independent assessor's best practices model.
Much of the Y2K effort is being supported by a reallocation of existing
resources. The company anticipates total spending of $150 million between 1997
and 2000 largely on replacement of applications that, for reasons other than
Y2K non-compliance, had been previously selected for replacement. Many of the
replacement applications, such as the new SAP financial systems, offer improved
functionality and commonality over
27
<PAGE> 28
predecessor systems and, at the same time, resolve the Y2K problem. To date,
the company estimates actual spending of approximately $130 million of the
total projected costs.
There are many factors beyond the company's control that could cause the Y2K
problem to seriously disrupt operations and the company can provide no
assurance that these factors will not cause it to experience business
disruptions. For example, a widespread failure in the utilities industry could
severely interrupt or even halt the company's operations. There are other
risks, however, for which the company may prepare and, in so doing, reduce its
exposure. These risks include a disruption in the supply of product with
particular emphasis on failures of raw material suppliers, third-party
manufacturers, and external distribution channels; internal infrastructure
failures such as utilities, communications, internal IT services and integrated
IT systems; non-U.S. government failures, especially as they impact import and
export activity; and major customer failures or interruptions. The scope of the
company's efforts regarding these risks is limited to key products, key
markets, critical suppliers, and major customers.
To reduce the impact of these failures were they to occur, the company is
developing contingency plans for the most critical business processes. These
plans represent a diversity of approaches and include maintaining higher
inventory levels, developing secondary sources for strategic product chain
links, and documenting back-up procedures and manual work-arounds. The ongoing
assessment of critical external partners also plays an important role in
contingency planning with appropriate actions mapped out at predetermined
decision points depending on the outcome. The company has assessed the
readiness of its major suppliers, third-party manufacturers, and customers and
has audited critical suppliers and third-party manufacturers in an attempt to
calculate, to the extent possible, where the company faces the greatest risk of
failure. In addition, management implemented a company-wide program to strictly
control and limit changes to major IT systems during the second half of 1999 to
reduce potential additional exposures and to concentrate IT resources on
integration testing and other Y2K-related efforts. Neither this program nor the
previously mentioned reallocation of resources has had an adverse effect on
non-Y2K mission-critical projects. Barring critical failures arising from
factors beyond the company's direct control, management believes that by
meeting the objectives of its Y2K program, the date recognition problem should
not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
position, its results of operations, or liquidity.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". This statement requires companies to record derivatives on
the balance sheet as assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The
accounting treatment of gains and losses resulting from changes in the value of
derivatives depends on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for
hedge accounting. The company expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 no earlier than
January 1, 2000, and is currently assessing the impact of adoption on its
financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others:
sales and earnings projections; the future impact of the company's merger with
SUGEN, Inc.; the effectiveness of and expense estimates related to future
projects including restructuring plans, the Year 2000 date recognition problem,
and conversion to the euro; management's ability to make further progress under
the company's global turnaround program; the company's ability to successfully
market new and existing products in new and existing markets; the success of
the company's research and development activities and the speed with which
regulatory authorizations and product rollouts may be achieved; fluctuations in
currency exchange rates; the effects of the company's accounting policies and
general changes in generally accepted accounting practices; the company's
exposure to product liability lawsuits and contingencies related to actual or
alleged environmental contamination; the company's exposure to antitrust
lawsuits; social, legal and political developments, especially those relating
to health care reform and product liabilities; general economic and business
conditions; the company's ability to attract and retain current management and

Exhibit A
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information for Pharmacia &
Upjohn, Inc., for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied
limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of
such information. However, their separate report dated October 26, 1999
appearing below, states that they did not audit and they do not express an
opinion on that unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the
degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in
light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section
11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited consolidated
financial information because that report is not a "report" or "part" of the
registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheets of Pharmacia &
Upjohn, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 1999, and
December 31, 1998 and the related consolidated statements of earnings and
condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
