                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees of:
Modern Industries Company (Jeddah) - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan,
Modern Industries Company (Dammam) - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan, and
Modern Products Company - Employee Savings and Thrift Plan

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of net assets of Employee
Savings and Thrift Plans for Modern Industries Company (Jeddah), Modern
Industries Company (Dammam) and Modern Products Company, which are centrally
administered as the Savings and Thrift Plans (Saudi Arabia) of The Procter &
Gamble Company, (the "Plans") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related
combined statements of changes in net assets for the years then ended. These
combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans' Trustees. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets of the Plans as of December 31, 2001 and 2000
and the changes in net assets 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
combined financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying combined
supplemental schedule listed in the Index is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic combined financial
statements. The schedule is the responsibility of the Plans' Trustees. Such
combined supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the basic combined financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation
to the basic combined financial statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       PLANS DESCRIPTION AND RELATED MATTERS

         The following brief description of the Employee Savings and Thrift
         Plans for Modern Industries Company (Jeddah), Modern Industries Company
         (Dammam) and Modern Products Company, which are centrally administered
         as the Savings and Thrift Plans (Saudi Arabia) of The Procter & Gamble
         Company, (the "Plans") is provided for general information purposes
         only. Participants should refer to each plan agreement for more
         complete information.

         TRUSTEES

         The Trustees of the Plans include the chairman of Modern Industries
         Company (Jeddah), Modern Industries Company (Dammam) and Modern
         Products Company (collectively the "Companies") and nominated managers
         of the Companies.

         ELIGIBILITY

         Any permanent employee who has been on the payrolls of the Companies
         for more than 12 months is eligible to participate in the Plans.

         MEMBER'S ACCOUNTS

         An Employee Account and a Company Account are maintained for each
         member. The Employee Account includes a member's contributions,
         decreased by all withdrawals and increased by all repayments of
         withdrawals. The Company Account includes the total contributions made
         by the Companies, which were credited to the member's account in
         accordance with the terms of the Plans. Profits on bank deposits and
         net dividends are credited to the Employee Account.

         EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS

         Basic deductions of 5% of base salary are contributed monthly by the
         members. The member has the option to invest these contributions in one
         of the following investment programs offered by the Plans:

         *   Invest the full amount to purchase Procter & Gamble securities.

         *   Invest the full amount in bank deposits.

         *   Invest 50% of the amount to purchase Procter & Gamble securities,
             and 50% in bank deposits.

         The numbers of participating employees under each of the aforementioned
         programs at December 31, 2001 were 343,91 and 62 (2000 - 386,42 and
         50), respectively.

         Members may elect to contribute an additional 1% to 10% of their
         monthly salary. These additional contributions are not matched by the
         Companies and can only be invested in Procter & Gamble securities.

         COMPANIES' CONTRIBUTIONS

         The Companies credit each member with an amount ranging from 25% to
         100% of the balance in the Employee Account, depending on the member's
         length of continuous service, with the rate reaching 100% after ten
         years of continuous service.

         EARNINGS

         Any occurrence of income from the net dividends earned and credits from
         forfeitures are utilized to purchase more Procter & Gamble securities.
         These earnings are allocated on a pro-rata basis to the existing
         members based on the prior month-end balance of their Plans' assets.

         Commission earned from bank deposits is allocated amongst the members
         of the Plans in proportion to their investments in bank deposits.

         VESTING

         The members are fully vested in their Employee Accounts and Earnings
         Accounts. Members become vested in the Companies' contributions by 30%
         after the first three full years from the date of their membership in
         the Plans, or renewed membership (see Withdrawals), with the rate
         reaching 100% after ten full years of such membership.

         WITHDRAWALS

         Withdrawals may be made from the member's Employee Account at any time
         he chooses to, up to the extent of his contributions, the vested
         position of the Companies' Contributions and all relevant profits
         thereon.

         The non-vested portion of the Companies' Contributions and relevant
         profits are placed in a frozen account that will continue to be vested
         according to the schedule of investments. These are paid to the
         employee on his separation from the Companies unless he meets the
         criteria for forfeiture (see Forfeiture). The employee may rejoin the
         Plans after a one-year waiting period from the first withdrawal and a
         two-year waiting period for every subsequent withdrawal.

         LOANS

         An existing member who has at least five years of membership is
         eligible to borrow from the Plans up to an amount that varies with the
         member's monthly base salary and length of service. The maximum loan
         amount cannot exceed 50% of the balance in the Employee's Account
         (including gains on securities) or six months salary, whichever is
         lesser. Repayment of the loan is made by monthly payroll deductions.
         The member may elect to repay the outstanding loan in a lump sum at any
         time.

         FORFEITURES

         When members leave the Plans without fulfilling ten years of membership
         requirement for full vestment (see Vesting) for a reason other than
         transfer out, death or disability, the non-vested Companies'
         Contributions and relevant profits are forfeited. The forfeited amount
         is divided amongst the existing members using the same formula as the
         Companies' Contributions (see Companies Contributions).

         TRANSFERABILITY

         The Plans are 100% transferable between the Companies.

         COSTS OF THE PLANS

         All administrative costs of the Plans are paid by the Companies.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         a)   Basis of combination

              The combined financial statements include the financial statements
              of all the Plans as stated in Note 1. All significant intercompany
              transactions and balances have been eliminated in the combination.

         b)   Basis of accounting

              The accompanying combined financial statements are prepared in
              accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
              United States of America. The net assets and transactions of the
              Plans are recorded at fair value.

         c)   Investments

              Investments in Procter & Gamble securities are valued at the
              closing price on the New York Stock Exchange. Bank deposits are
              stated at cost.

         d)   Bank commission

              Bank commission represents commission earned on bank deposits.

         e)   Foreign currency translation

              The Plans' primary currency is the Saudi Riyal. Non-Saudi Riyal
              investments are translated into Saudi Riyals at the exchange rates
              in effect on the last day of the Plans' year. Earnings on
              currencies other than the Saudi Riyals are translated at average
              rates prevailing during the year. Exchange gains or losses for
              2001 and 2000 were not significant.

         f)   Taxes

              Currently, there are no personal income taxes in Saudi Arabia.
              Should they be introduced any time in the future, the Plans
              require that such taxes be borne by the members.

              Dividend payments on Procter & Gamble securities are received net
              of deduction of withholding taxes by the United States'
              Government.
