              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           (Unaudited, dollars in millions except per share amounts)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company (the "Company") at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the
results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the
Company's 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the
Company's independent accountants, have performed a review of the unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein, and their review report
thereon accompanies this filing.

NOTE 2: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In September 2000, the Company announced the planned divestitures of its beauty
care business "Clairol" and orthopaedic business "Zimmer". Accordingly, the
operations of Clairol (which includes its Matrix affiliate) and Zimmer have been
reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.

On August 6, 2001, Zimmer was distributed to the Company's stockholders in a
tax-free spin-off. In May 2001, the Company reached an agreement to sell Clairol
to Procter & Gamble for $4.95 billion.

The net sales and earnings of discontinued operations are as follows:

Cash flows from operating and investing activities of discontinued operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were $119 million and $245
million, respectively.

NOTE 3: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," as amended, which requires that all derivative instruments be
recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at
fair value. The adoption of this accounting requirement did not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company is exposed to market risk due to changes in currency exchange rates
and interest rates. As a result, the Company utilizes foreign exchange option
and forward contracts to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on
anticipated foreign currency transactions, primarily intercompany inventory
purchases expected to occur within the next year. For these derivatives, which
qualify as hedges of future cash flows, the effective portion of changes in fair
value is temporarily recorded in comprehensive income, then recognized in
earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of
hedges is reported in earnings as it occurs. The fair value of derivative
instruments, which is recorded in prepaid expenses, at June 30, 2001 was $48
million.

To manage interest rate risk, the Company utilizes interest rate swap contracts.
The Company will enter into interest rate swaps to hedge against the effects of
adverse changes in interest rates on consolidated results of operations and
future cash outflows for interest. These interest rate swap contracts allow the
Company to establish a fixed interest rate on anticipated debt issuances. Gains
and losses from changes in fair value on interest rate swap contracts designated
as cash flow hedges are initially deferred and recorded in other comprehensive
income. Amounts are transferred from other comprehensive income and recognized
in earnings as Interest Expense in the same period that the hedged item is
recognized in earnings.

In the second quarter 2001, the Company entered into interest rate hedge
contracts, with a notional amount of $1 billion, to manage its exposure to
changes in interest rates for long-term fixed-rate debt expected to be issued in
a future period in connection with the acquisition of the DuPont Pharmaceuticals
Company (see note 5). The contracts were designated as hedges of the variability
of the cash flows due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. At
June 30, 2001, the Company recorded the contract at

comprehensive income.

The Company recorded a transition adjustment as of January 1, 2001 of $26
million, net of taxes, in other comprehensive income to record the hedging
instruments at their fair value. A reconciliation of current period changes, net
of taxes, included in other comprehensive income follows:

Substantially all of the $26 million, net of taxes, gain on cash flow hedging
deferred in other comprehensive income, is expected to be reclassified to
earnings over the next year. The change in time value of options, excluded from
the measure of effectiveness, reported in earnings for the second quarter and
six months, was not material.

NOTE 4: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are
computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
year, plus the incremental shares outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive
stock options.

The computations for basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per
common share are as follows:

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and the consolidated
statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 consolidated interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive
income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not
presented herein), and in our report dated January 24, 2001 we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2000, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the second quarter of 2001 increased 7% (9% excluding foreign
exchange) over the prior year to $4,709 million. The consolidated sales growth
resulted from a 7% increase due to volume, a 2% increase due to changes in
selling prices and a 2% decrease due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. U.S.
sales increased 10% and international sales increased 1% (8% excluding foreign
exchange).

Worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 8% (10% excluding foreign exchange).
U.S. pharmaceutical sales increased 12% and international pharmaceutical sales
increased 1% (8% excluding foreign exchange).

GLUCOPHAGE (metformin), is the leading branded oral medication for treatment of
non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes. The entire GLUCOPHAGE franchise
continued its strong growth rate, with sales increasing 57% to $763 million.
GLUCOPHAGE sales increased 7% to $517 million while sales of GLUCOVANCE,
launched in August 2000, and GLUCOPHAGE XR, launched in October 2000, were $135
million and $111 million, respectively.

Worldwide sales of PRAVACHOL*, a cholesterol-lowering agent, increased 10% to
$448 million including a 16% increase in international sales net of foreign
exchange.

Sales of TAXOL* (paclitaxel), the Company's leading anti-cancer agent, decreased
21% to $325 million. International sales increased 7% (15% excluding foreign
exchange) to $165 million, led by strong sales growth in Japan and France while
domestic sales decreased 38% to $160 million, due to generic competition.

Sales of PLAVIX, a platelet aggregation inhibitor for the reduction of stroke,
heart attack and vascular death in atherosclerotic patients with recent stroke,
recent heart attack or peripheral arterial disease, continued their strong
growth, increasing 43% to $317 million. Sales of AVAPRO, an angiotensin II
receptor blocker for the treatment of hypertension, increased 21% to $110
million. AVAPRO and PLAVIX are cardiovascular products that were launched from
the Bristol-Myers Squibb and Sanofi-Synthelabo joint venture.

Sales of the anti-cancer agent PARAPLATIN* increased 8% to $172 million as the
product continues to benefit from its use in combination with other chemotherapy
agents.

Sales of BUSPAR*, an anti-anxiety agent, declined to $89 million from $194
million in the same period of 2000, due to generic competition.

Sales of VIDEX*, an anti-retroviral agent, increased 39% to $68 million due to
increased sales of VIDEX EC* enteric-coated beadlets, launched in 2000.

* Indicates brand names of products which are trademarks owned by the Company.


                                       11

million while sales of modern wound care products increased 9% (16% excluding
foreign exchange) to $61 million.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, as a percentage of sales,
improved to 68.1% from 69.2% in 2000 primarily due to containment of operating
expenses.

Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, increased to 28.6% from 25.6%
in 2000 due to increased sales of lower margin products from OTN and from a
change in product mix, primarily a decline in TAXOL* and BUSPAR* sales resulting
from generic competition. Marketing, selling, administrative and other expenses,
as a percentage of sales, declined to 20.0% in the quarter from 22.3% in 2000 as
a result of productivity, cost efficiencies and cost effectiveness. Expenditures
for advertising and promotion in support of new and existing products declined
14% to $424 million from $493 million in 2000 due to a reduction in support for
TAXOL* and BUSPAR*. Research and development expenditures increased 10% to $495
million from $450 million in 2000 as the Company increased its investment in
late stage compounds. Pharmaceutical research and development spending increased
11% over the prior year, and as a percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 12.7%
in the second quarter of 2001 compared with 12.3% in the second quarter of 2000.

with 26.2% in 2000, as a result of lower production of TAXOL* and BUSPAR*.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Clairol sales increased 3% (5% excluding foreign exchange) to $489 million led
by an increase in sales of HERBAL ESSENCES*, a complete line of shampoos,
conditioners, styling aids, haircolor and body wash. Domestic sales increased 8%

exchange).

Internally generated funds continue to be the Company's primary source for
financing expenditures for new plant and equipment. Net Cash Provided by
Operating Activities increased to $2,383 million in 2001 from $1,584 million in
2000. As a result of the Company's investment in manufacturing and research
facilities, additions to fixed assets for the six months ended June 30, 2001
increased to $411 million from $192 million during the same period of 2000.

Cash flows from operating and investing activities of Discontinued Operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were $119 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company purchased 22 million
shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.3 billion. In June 2001, the Company
announced a $2 billion increase in the amount authorized for the stock
repurchase program from $12 billion to $14 billion.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141 "Business Combinations" and No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. SFAS No.


                                       15


141 requires that companies use the purchase method of accounting for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and addresses the initial
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in
a business combination. SFAS No. 142 addresses the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets acquired outside a business combination and the
recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent
to their acquisition. Under the new rules, goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual
impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will
continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The adoption of these
accounting requirements will not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered ordinary and
routine to its business are pending against the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries. The most significant of these are reported in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Current
developments are described below.

TAXOL* LITIGATION

In 1997 and 1998, the Company filed several lawsuits alleging that a number of
generic drug companies infringed its patents covering methods of administering
paclitaxel when they filed abbreviated new drug applications seeking regulatory
approval to sell paclitaxel. These actions were consolidated for discovery in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The Company did
not assert a monetary claim against any of the defendants, but sought to prevent
the defendants from marketing paclitaxel in a manner that violates the company's
patents.

The defendants asserted that they did not infringe the Company's patents and
that these patents are invalid and unenforceable. Some defendants also asserted
counterclaims seeking damages for alleged antitrust and unfair competition
violations. The Company believed its patents were valid when it filed the suits
and the counterclaims asserted are believed to be without merit. Since the
filing of the suits four private actions have been filed by parties alleging
antitrust, consumer protection and similar claims relating to the Company's
action to obtain and enforce patent rights. The Federal Trade Commission and the
Attorney General of the State of Florida have each initiated investigations
relating to paclitaxel. At this time, neither agency has brought any claims
against the Company relating to paclitaxel, nor have they indicated whether any
such claims will be brought. The Company is cooperating in these investigations.

In early 2000 the District Court invalidated most claims of the company's
patents. On April 20, 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit affirmed the District Court's summary judgment of invalidity of all but
two claims of the patents at issue. Those two claims relate to the low dose,
three-hour administration of paclitaxel in which the patient is given a
specified regimen of premedicants before the administration of paclitaxel. The
appellate court remanded those two claims to the District Court for further
proceedings.

In September 2000, one of the defendants received final approval from the United
States Food and Drug Administration for its Abbreviated New Drug Application for
paclitaxel and is marketing the product. Additional final approvals have since
been announced by the United States Food and Drug Administration and sales of
additional generic products have begun.

The Company is considering its options with respect to the two remaining claims
of its patents. It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment
as to the final outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. Nor is it possible
to reasonably estimate the impact those litigations and investigations might
have if the Company were not to prevail.

BUSPAR*

On November 21, 2000, the Company obtained a patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,150,365
("'365 patent"), relating to a method of using BuSpar* or buspirone. The Company
timely submitted information relating to the '365 patent to the FDA for listing
in an FDA publication commonly known as the "Orange Book", and the FDA
thereafter listed the patent in the Orange Book.

Delisting Suits. Generic drug manufacturers sued the FDA and the Company to
compel the delisting of the '365 patent from the Orange Book. Although one
district court declined to order the delisting of the '365 patent, another
ordered the company to cause the delisting of the patent from the Orange Book.
The Company complied with the court's order but appealed the decision to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has not yet
decided the appeal.

Patent Suits. The Company is seeking to enforce the '365 patent in actions
against two generic drug manufacturers.

Antitrust Suits. Following the delisting of the '365 patent from the Orange
Book, a number of purchasers of buspirone and several generic drug makers filed
lawsuits against the company alleging that it improperly triggered statutory
[Hatch-Waxman] marketing exclusivity. The central issue raised by these cases is
whether the Company improperly caused the listing of the '365 patent in the
Orange Book. Plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, damages, disgorgement and
injunctive relief.

Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) proceedings. The Company filed motions with the
Judicial Panel on MDL to have all of the patent and antitrust cases consolidated
and/or coordinated in a single forum. The Panel heard oral argument on the
motions in July and has taken them under advisement.

Government Investigations. The Federal Trade Commission and a number of state
attorneys general have initiated investigations concerning the listing of the
'365 patent in the Orange Book. The Company is cooperating in these
investigations.

It is not possible at this time to make a reasonable assessment as to the final
outcome of these lawsuits and investigations. Nor is it possible to reasonably
estimate the impact these litigations and investigations might have if the
company were not to prevail.
