INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Policy Committee of The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee
Stock Ownership Plan and The Trustees of The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing
Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(Plan) as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, 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 at June 30, 2001 and
2000, 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 schedules listed in the
Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are 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. These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of
the basic 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in
all material respects when considered in relation to the basic 2001 financial
statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      GENERAL - The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock
      Ownership Plan (Plan) is a defined contribution plan covering
      substantially all domestic employees of The Procter & Gamble Company and
      certain of its subsidiaries (Company). Effective July 1, 2000 and January
      1, 2001, employees of Recovery Engineering, Inc. and IAMS, respectively,
      are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is comprised of two
      trusts, the Retirement Trust (RT) and the Employee Stock Ownership Trust
      (ESOT). These financial statements include the RT and the ESOT. The Plan
      is funded through both Company and employee contributions. Effective July
      1, 1998 and November 1, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
      approved the mergers of The P&G/Noxell Transitional Profit Sharing Trust
      (Noxell) and the Sundor Brands Profit Sharing Plan, respectively, into the
      Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
      Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan document should be referred
      to for the complete text of the Plan agreement.

      The ESOT was established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
      Company on January 10, 1989. During March 1989, the ESOT borrowed
      $1,000,000,000 (see Note 7) and, with the proceeds from such borrowings,
      purchased 9,090,909 shares of The Procter & Gamble Company Series A ESOP
      Convertible Class A Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) (see Note
      5). The number of shares initially issued increased to 72,727,272 as a
      result of the two-for-one stock splits effective October 20, 1989, May 15,
      1992, and August 22, 1997. As a means of extending the benefits of the
      ESOP to participants over a longer period, the ESOT entered into a term
      loan agreement with the Company under which outstanding borrowings were
      $67,600,000 and $23,600,000 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively
      (see Note 7). These shares of Series A Preferred Stock are utilized to
      fund a portion of the Company's annual profit sharing contribution to the
      Plan.

      In May 1990, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an amendment to
      the Plan to establish a separate account in accordance with Section 401(h)
      of the Internal Revenue Code to fund a portion of the Company's
      postretirement obligation for retired Plan participants satisfying certain
      requirements specified in the Plan agreement. This amendment became
      effective July 1, 1990. During November 1990, the ESOT borrowed
      $1,000,000,000 (see Note 8) and with the proceeds from such borrowings,
      purchased 9,571,209 shares of The Procter & Gamble Company Series B ESOP
      Convertible Class A Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) (see Note
      6). The number of outstanding shares increased to 38,284,836 as a result
      of the two-for-one stock splits effective May 15, 1992 and August 22,
      1997. In June 1993 these shares were exchanged for an equal number of
      shares with identical terms, except for amended restrictions on transfer
      (see Note 6). These shares are available to fund postretirement benefits
      and may not be used for profit sharing purposes, except as permitted under
      certain provisions in the Plan document.

      At June 30, 2001 and 2000, the net assets available to the ESOT to satisfy
      a portion of the postretirement benefits were $1,333,829,932 and
      $1,122,282,872, respectively. The related postretirement obligations are
      not a component of this Plan's obligations but are included in the
      financial statements of a separate health and welfare plan sponsored by
      the Company.

B Preferred Stock and other are summarized as follows for the years ended June 30, 2001

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Each participant's account
      is credited with the allocation of Company contributions (see Note 9), his
      or her employee contributions (see Note 10) and Plan earnings. All such
      participant accounts are maintained in the RT. Company contributions are
      allocated based on participant base earnings and Plan credit years, as
      defined in the Plan document. The benefit to which a participant is
      entitled is the vested benefit that can be provided from the participant's
      account.

      Prior to July 1, 2000, a participant could choose to receive directly some
      or all of the quarterly dividends earned on the shares of Company common
      stock within his or her account in cash. Additionally, the Plan paid
      quarterly dividends earned on the shares of Company common stock held
      within a participant's account, as elected by each participant, directly
      to the participant (automatic dividends). Because the automatic dividends
      paid to the participant correspond with the amount of the automatic salary
      contribution by the participant, the amount of automatic dividends paid is
      subject to IRS limitations. A portion of a participant's pre-tax
      compensation was deferred and contributed to their Plan account to offset
      the automatic dividends (automatic salary contribution). All automatic
      salary contributions to the Plan were invested in Company common stock.

      Effective July 1, 2000, dividends earned on the shares of Company common
      stock within a participant's account will automatically be distributed to
      the participant as part of his or her compensation, subject to IRS
      limitations. Dividends earned on the shares of Company preferred stock
      within a participant's account will automatically be distributed to the
      participant as part of his or her compensation, subject to IRS limitations
      and will only ocurr to non-highly compensated participants. Any dividend
      not distributed to a participant will be reinvested in the Plan. At the
      same time the dividend is distributed, the Company will reduce the
      participant's wages by the amount of the dividend. The Company will then
      allocate a discretionary contribution consisting of Series A Preferred
      Stock to the participant's account that is equal to the amount of the
      dividend. The discretionary contribution will be used to prepay debt on
      the Plan's note payable (Series A Preferred Stock), resulting in the
      release of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the aggregate dividend.

      Vested participants may allocate the portion of the annual Company
      contribution received in cash between the money market fund, short-term
      investments, JP Morgan bond fund, and common stock of the Company. In
      addition, certain participants retain investments in group deferred
      annuities; however, contributions and transfers to this fund are no longer
      permitted. Effective July 1, 2000, employee contributions and account
      balances of vested participants that have reached the age of fifty may be
      allocated to the investment options that were previously only available to
      Retirement Plus participants as well as to the investments options
      previously described. A description of the investment options is as
      follows:

         COMMON STOCK FUND - A fund investing in shares of Company common stock.

         DEFERRED ANNUITIES FUND - A fund investing in guaranteed investment
         contracts with various insurance companies.

         MONEY MARKET FUND AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Funds investing in
         commercial paper, short-term U.S. Government securities and various
         short-term bank funds.

         JP MORGAN BOND FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund invests
         in a broad diversity of publicly traded and privately placed bonds.

      Effective July 1, 2001, the Plan has added the JP Morgan International
      Equity Fund and the JP Morgan Small Company Fund as investment options to
      participants. In addition to the previously described changes effective
      July 1, 2000, the Retirement Plus feature allows a retiree or a vested
      former employee with account balances equal to or greater than $3,500 to
      maintain some or all of his or her funds in the Plan. If a participant
      chooses the Retirement Plus option, he or she must maintain at least 50%
      (40% effective July 1, 2000) of his or her account balance invested in
      Company common stock. Also, all common and Series A Preferred Stock
      dividends are paid in cash to the participant. A participant may elect to
      distribute all or a portion of his or her account balance at anytime in
      accordance with the Plan document. Each participant's account is credited
      with an allocation of Plan earnings. In addition to the investment options
      described previously for vested participants, this feature also offers the
      following investment options:

         JP MORGAN U.S. LARGE COMPANY STOCK FUND - The prospectus indicates that
         this fund invests in equity securities of approximately 300 domestic,
         large company stocks.

         JP MORGAN PRE-MIXED FUND A - The prospectus indicates that this fund

         company stocks (10%), international stocks (6%) and U.S. small company
         stocks (4%).

         invests in bonds (40%), U.S. large company stocks (25%), international
         stocks (15%), U.S. small company stocks (10%) and money market
         instruments (10%).

         U.S. small company stocks (16%), money market instruments (10%) and
         bonds (10%).

      Effective with the merger of Noxell into the Plan, the former Noxell
      participants could retain their balances in the Discretionary Contribution
      Fund and American Express Trust Income Fund investment options. Effective
      July 1, 1998, all contributions to these funds were discontinued.
      Effective March 19, 2001, the assets of the Discretionary Contribution
      Fund were liquidated and reallocated to the investment options available
      under the Plan. Former Noxell participants may transfer balances from the
      American Express Trust Income Fund into any of the other investment
      options offered by the Plan, as described above. Descriptions of the
      American Express Trust Income Fund is as follows:

         AMERICAN EXPRESS TRUST INCOME FUND - The prospectus indicates that this
         fund invests in guaranteed investment contracts with varying
         maturities, sizes and yields.

      VESTING - A participant is fully vested in employee contributions and
      automatic salary contributions plus actual earnings thereon in his or her
      account regardless of years of service. Vesting in the Company
      contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is
      based on years of service. A participant is fully vested in Company
      contributions plus actual earnings thereon in his or her account after
      five years of service, but with the Company's additional preferred
      contributions, the participant is immediately 100% vested.

      PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - Retired or terminated employees may maintain their
      accounts within the Plan until reaching the federal mandatory distribution
      age (70 1/2). Upon election of a distribution, a vested participant may
      elect to receive (1) all or a partial amount in cash, securities and
      annuities in his or her account or (2) an annuity purchased for the value
      of his or her account. In addition to the above alternatives, a retired
      vested participant electing a distribution may also elect to receive
      annual distributions of cash and securities in his or her account on a
      pro-rata basis not to exceed the lesser of 20 years or the participant's
      life expectancy. Effective July 1, 2000, active participants are permitted
      to receive annual in-service withdrawals up to 2% of their account
      balance.

      PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
      Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at
      any time, provided that the Company's $300 million guarantee described in
      footnote nine is satisfied, and to terminate the Plan subject to the
      provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will
      become fully vested in their entire accounts and the net assets of the
      Plan will be distributed to the participants in an order of priority
      determined in accordance with ERISA and its applicable regulations and the
      Plan document.

      LOAN PROVISION - The Plan allows participants to borrow funds from their
      accounts in certain circumstances up to maximum amounts specified in the
      Plan agreement and at an interest rate equal to the prime rate plus 1%.
      Loans are repayable through payroll deductions of principal and interest
      over a maximum term of 60 months (120 months if the loan is to purchase a
      primary residence). Effective March 19, 2001, participants may take loans
      against Convertible Class A Preferred Stock.

      FORFEITURES - Participants who terminate service prior to vesting forfeit
      their account balance. The Company applies forfeited amounts against the
      annual contribution.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements are prepared on the accrual
      basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and transactions are
      recorded at fair value. Fair value of the Company common stock is
      determined by composite trading prices on the New York Stock Exchange. The
      Company's common stock, included in the Plan's statements of net assets,
      is recorded at $63.80 and $57.25 per share as of June 30, 2001 and 2000,
      respectively. Fair value of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock is
      determined as the greater of the fair value of the Company's common stock
      as defined in the Plan agreement or $13.75 (Series A) and $26.12 (Series
      B) per share (see Notes 5 and 6). The Series A and Series B Preferred
      Stock, included in the Plan's statements of net assets, is recorded at
      $63.80 and $57.25 per share as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
      Deferred annuities are recorded at contract value, which approximates fair
      value. Mutual funds (funds) are valued by the fund managers, J.P. Morgan
      Investment Management, Inc. and Barclays Global Investors, based upon the
      fair values of the funds' underlying investments. Loans to participants
      are valued at the unpaid principal balance. The cost of securities sold,
      transferred or distributed is determined by the weighted average cost of
      securities allocated to the participant's account.

      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.

      EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - All administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by
      the Company, provided however, that investment expenses shall be paid by
      the Plan to the extent that such expenses are not paid by the Company. Any
      such expenses paid by the Plan are netted with investment income on the
      financial statements and approximated $1,467,000 and $1,072,000 in 2001
      and 2000, respectively.

      ACCOUNTING POLICIES - On January 1, 2001, the Plan adopted Statement of
      Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138, Accounting
      for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. SFAS
      No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
      instruments and for hedging activities. It requires that all derivatives,
      including those embedded in other contracts, be recognized as either
      assets or liabilities and that those financial instruments be measured at
      fair value. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect
      on the Plan's financial statements.

3.    INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Plan is intended to qualify under the Internal Revenue Code (`IRC") as
      exempt from Federal income taxes. The Plan received a favorable
      determination letter from the IRS dated November 14, 2000, in which the
      IRS stated the Plan was in compliance with the applicable requirements of
      the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
      letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed
      and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions
      of the IRC.

4.    PARTY-IN-INTEREST INVESTMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

      The Company is a party-in-interest, as defined by ERISA. During the Plan
      years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, borrowings outstanding under the term
      loan agreement (see Note 7) between the Company and the ESOT were
      $67,600,000 and $23,600,000, respectively. This transaction qualifies as a
      party-in-interest transaction; however, the plan administrator has not
      identified any prohibited party-in-interest investments or transactions
      during the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

5.    SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

      CONVERSION, DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS - The Series A Preferred
      Stock is convertible by the holder (Plan trustee) at the rate of one share
      of the Company's common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock
      subject to the conditions described herein. Additionally, in order to make
      a distribution to a participant, the Series A Preferred Stock can be "put"
      to the Company at its liquidation value plus accrued dividends. Hence,
      upon distribution, participants will receive $13.75 per share of Series A
      Preferred Stock plus accrued dividends, or one share of the Company's
      common stock, whichever has a higher value. Participants must receive
      distributions of cash or common stock upon election of a distribution from
      the Plan. Participants age 55 to 59 may also elect to convert up to 25% of
      their shares of Series A Preferred Stock to alternative investments which
      are held by the RT. This conversion option increases to 50% at age 60. The
      fair value of the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 was
      $63.80 and $57.25, respectively, per share. During 2001 and 2000,
      respectively, 1,705,467 and 2,417,107 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
      were converted into shares of Company common stock and the former Series A
      Preferred Stock was retired.

      ELIGIBILITY - All participants are eligible for allocation of Series A
      Preferred Stock.

      DIVIDEND RIGHTS - In 2001 and 2000, annual dividends of $1.40 and $1.28
      per share were paid quarterly at $0.35 and $0.32 per share, respectively.
      In the event that dividends have not been paid when due, payment or
      declaration of dividends on securities subordinated to the Series A
      Preferred Stock generally is not permitted.

      CALL PROVISIONS - The Series A Preferred Stock may be called at certain
      premium amounts as described in the Company's amended articles of
      incorporation.

      VOTING RIGHTS - Each share is entitled to a number of votes equal to the
      number of shares of the Company's common stock into which it is
      convertible.

      RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER - The ESOT or another employee benefit plan of
      the Company are the only permissible holders of the Series A Preferred
      Stock. Upon transfer to any other holder, shares automatically convert to
      shares of the Company's common stock.

      ALLOCATION OF SHARES TO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Shares of the Series A
      Preferred Stock are released for allocation to participant accounts in
      accordance with the Plan agreement as the borrowings are repaid (see Note
      7). In 2001 and 2000, 2,554,087 and 6,009,754 shares of Series A Preferred
      Stock valued at $167,014,812 and $342,800,203, respectively, were released
      for allocation to participant accounts, of which $63,334,406 and
      $313,219,537, respectively, was used to fund a portion of the annual
      profit sharing contribution and $103,680,406 and $29,580,666 respectively,
      was used to fund annual dividends on allocated shares. At June 30, 2001
      and 2000, respectively, 19,761,084 and 22,315,171 shares of Series A
      Preferred Stock were unallocated.

6.    SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

      CONVERSION, DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS - The Series B Preferred
      Stock is convertible at any time by the holder (Plan trustee) at the rate
      of one share of the Company's common stock for each share of Series B
      Preferred Stock. Additionally, in order to make a distribution to a
      participant for retiree medical expenses, the Series B Preferred Stock can
      be "put" to the Company at its liquidation price plus accrued dividends.
      Hence, upon distribution, participants will receive $26.12 per share of
      Series B Preferred Stock plus accrued dividends, or one share of the
      Company's common stock, whichever has a higher value. The fair value of
      the Company's common stock as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 was $63.80 and
      $57.25, respectively, per share. During 2001 and 2000, respectively,
      480,000 and 400,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted to
      Company common stock and the former Series B Preferred Stock was retired.
      The proceeds from the conversion of shares were transferred to The Procter
      & Gamble Retiree Benefit Trust to fund postretirement benefits.

      ELIGIBILITY - Active participants who are eligible to retire from the
      Company and all participants who have retired under the terms of the Plan
      are eligible for allocation of Series B Preferred Stock. Additionally,
      former participants that have retired from the Company and are currently
      participating in a Company sponsored retiree healthcare plan are also
      eligible for allocation of Series B Preferred Stock.

      DIVIDEND RIGHTS - Annual dividends of $2.06 per share are paid quarterly
      at $0.515 per share. In the event that dividends have not been paid when
      due, payment or declaration of dividends on securities subordinated to the
      Series B Preferred Stock generally is not permitted.

      CALL PROVISIONS - The Series B Preferred Stock may be called at certain
      premium amounts as described in the Company's amended articles of
      incorporation.

      VOTING RIGHTS - Each share is entitled to a number of votes equal to the
      number of shares of the Company's common stock into which it is
      convertible.

      RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER - Effective June 29, 1993, all shares of the
      Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for an equal number of shares of
      Series B Preferred Stock with amended restrictions on transfer. Terms were
      amended to lift the transfer restrictions and to provide the Company with
      the right of first refusal on the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock. In
      prior years, the ESOT or another employee benefit plan of the Company were
      the only permissible holders of the Series B Preferred Stock. Upon
      transfer to any other holder, shares automatically converted to shares of
      the Company's common stock.

      ALLOCATION OF SHARES TO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Shares of the Series B
      Preferred Stock will be released for straight line allocation to eligible
      participant retiree health care fund accounts in accordance with the Plan
      agreement as interest and/or principal are paid (see Note 8). In each of
      2001 and 2000, 1,086,592 shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at
      $69,100,272 and $59,039,594, respectively, were released for allocation to
      participant accounts. At June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, 27,337,424
      and 28,424,016 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were unallocated.

7.    NOTES PAYABLE (SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK)

                                           ============    ============



      These notes are guaranteed by the Company. Repayment of principal and
      interest is funded through annual contributions by the Company and
      dividends received on the Series A Preferred Stock. Interest on the notes
      is payable semiannually on September 3 and March 3.

      On March 3, 1999, the ESOT entered into a term loan agreement ("loan")
      with the Company under which it could borrow a total principal amount up
      to $365,500,000. Under the terms of the loan agreement, the Plan elected
      to make a prepayment of $88,500,000 during 2000 that was applied against
      the unpaid loan balance. The Plan, which borrowed $44,000,000 during 2001,
      may borrow a total principal amount up to $277,000,000. Principal
      borrowings allowed for the years ended June 30, 2002 through 2004 are as
      follows: 2002 - $57,000,000; 2003 - $69,600,000; 2004 - $82,800,000.
      Mandatory semiannual repayments of principal and interest commence on
      September 3, 2004 and will be funded through annual contributions by the
      Company and dividends received on the Series A Preferred Stock. The loan
      bears an interest rate of 6% and borrowings as of June 30, 2001 and 2000
      were $67,600,000 and $23,600,000, respectively.

      The fair value of the total outstanding notes payable is estimated based
      on current rates for debt of the same remaining maturities and
      approximated $293,655,000 and $336,537,000, respectively, at June 30, 2001
      and 2000.

8.    DEBENTURES (SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK)

      The debentures bear interest at a rate of 9.36% and are due on January 1,
      2021. Mandatory sinking fund payments are required beginning July 1, 2006
      and are payable semiannually thereafter. Interest is payable semiannually
      on July 1 and January 1. The debentures are guaranteed by the Company.
      Repayment of principal and interest is to be funded through annual
      contributions by the Company and dividends received on the Series B
      Preferred Stock. The fair value of the debentures is estimated based on
      current rates for debt of the same remaining maturities and approximated
      $1,222,600,000 and $1,173,000,000, respectively, at June 30, 2001 and
      2000.

9.    COMPANY CONTRIBUTION

      Annual credits to participants' accounts are based on individual base
      salary and years of service not exceeding 15% of total compensation of
      Plan participants as defined in the Plan agreement. The Company's
      contribution is reduced by the value of Series A Preferred Stock released
      and available for allocation to ESOT participant accounts in accordance
      with terms specified in the Plan agreement (see Note 5). The Company also
      funds a portion of principal and interest payments on the notes payable
      and debentures through contributions to the ESOT (see Notes 7 and 8).
      Beginning in 1997 and subsequently modified in 1999, the Company's cash
      contribution is guaranteed up to $300 million above and beyond the benefit
      funded by the shares released by the ESOT as specified in the Plan
      document.

      Beginning July 1, 1997, the Company granted one share of Company common
      stock to all new employees who become participants in the Plan. The
      additional share was credited to each participant's account. The amount
      contributed to these shares is reported as contributions from the Company
      in the Plan's financial statements. Effective July 1, 2000 new Plan
      participants no longer receive one share of Company common stock.



      Company contributions to the Plan for the years ended June 30 are
      as follows:
                                                           
                                                2001                 2000

                                            ============         ============



10.   EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

      In addition to the participant automatic salary contribution (see Note 1),
      a participant may also elect to contribute up to 25% of pre-tax
      compensation, as defined by the Plan. Contributions are subject to IRS
      limitations.

11.   INVESTMENTS

      The Plan's investments (at fair value) consist of the following at June
      30. Investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan's net
      assets are separately identified.
