INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To The Procter & Gamble Master Savings Plan Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Richardson-Vicks Savings Plan ("the Plan") as of December 31, 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 as of December 31,
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 schedule listed in the
Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements, but is 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. The schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Such schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic
2001 financial statements, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RICHARDSON-VICKS SAVINGS PLAN

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


1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The following brief description of the Richardson-Vicks Savings Plan
      ("Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants
      should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

      GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan established by
      Richardson-Vicks Inc. ("Company") to provide a means for eligible
      employees to supplement their retirement income. The Company is a
      wholly-owned subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company ("Parent"). The
      Plan assets are held in a combined trust account with the assets of other
      Parent defined contribution plans (see Note 4). Each of the plans has a
      proportionate and undivided ownership interest in the trust assets. The
      Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
      Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

      CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING - Effective December 31, 1987, both employee and
      employer contributions to the Plan were suspended and all participants
      became fully vested. Plan participants became eligible to participate in
      The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership
      Plan effective December 31, 1987.

      DISTRIBUTIONS - The Plan provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement,
      disability, death, or separation other than retirement as defined by the
      Plan document. Plan benefits may be made in a lump sum of cash or shares
      of common stock or in installment payments over a period not to exceed 120
      months. Retired or terminated employees shall commence benefit payments
      upon attainment of age 70 1/2.

      WITHDRAWALS - A participant may withdraw any portion of after-tax
      contributions and one-half of Company contributions once in any six-month
      period. Participants who have attained age 59 1/2 or have demonstrated
      financial hardship may withdraw all or any portion of their before-tax
      contributions once in any six-month period.

      PLAN TERMINATION - Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the Company terminated
      the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA (Note 6).

      ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by the Master Savings Plan
      Committee consisting of four members appointed by the Board of Directors
      of the Parent, except for duties specifically vested in the trustee, PNC
      Bank, Ohio, N.A. ("PNC Bank"), who is also appointed by the Board of
      Directors of the Parent.

      LOANS - The Plan has a loan feature under which active participants may
      borrow up to 50% of the current value of their vested account values
      exclusive of amounts attributable to Company contributions (up to a
      maximum of $50,000). Loans are repaid via payroll deduction over a period
      of up to five years, except for loans used to purchase a primary residence
      which are repaid via payroll deduction over a period of up to 10 years.
      Principal and interest paid is credited to applicable funds in the
      borrower's account. Former Company employees with deferred balances may
      not borrow against their accounts. Upon participant termination or
      retirement, the outstanding loan balance is treated as a distribution to
      the participant.

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Each participant's account
      is credited with an allocation of the Plan's earnings or losses. The
      benefit to which a participant is entitled is limited to the benefit that
      can be provided from the participant's account. Participants may allocate
      their account balances in one or all of the following investment options
      offered by the Plan:

         ENHANCED CASH FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund invests in
         short to medium length maturity, interest-bearing instruments.

         COMPANY STOCK FUND - A fund that invests in shares of The Procter &
         Gamble Company common stock.

         ACTIVE FIXED-INCOME CORE FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
         invests in a diversified portfolio of publicly and privately traded
         corporate, government, international, and mortgage backed bonds.

         DISCIPLINED EQUITY FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
         invests in equity securities of approximately 300 domestic, large
         company stocks.

         DIVERSIFIED FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund invests in a
         balanced portfolio consisting of both equity and fixed securities.

         INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
         invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of foreign
         corporations.

         SMALL COMPANY EQUITY II FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
         invests in a portfolio of equity securities issued by small companies.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements have been
      prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and
      transactions are recorded at fair value. The Plan's investment in The
      Procter & Gamble Company common stock is valued at the closing price on an
      established security exchange. The Plan's investment funds (funds) are
      valued by the fund manager, J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., based
      upon the fair value of the funds' underlying investments. Income from
      investments is recognized when earned and is allocated to each plan
      participating in The Procter & Gamble Master Savings Trust (Master Trust)
      by PNC Bank and to each participant's account by the Plan's recordkeeper.

      EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Investment management expenses were paid by the
      Plan in 2001 and 2000. All other fees are paid by the Parent.

      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.

      The Plan invests in Company common stock and in various mutual funds which
      include investments in U.S. Government securities, corporate debt
      instruments, and corporate stocks. Investment securities, in general, are
      exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall
      market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
      investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the
      values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
      changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of
      net assets available for plan benefits.

      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 accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives
      depends on their intended use and designation. The adoption of this
      standard did not have a material effect on the Plan's financial
      statements.

3.    TAX STATUS

      The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company
      by letter dated March 7, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are
      designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
      Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the latest
      determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the
      Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
      applicable provisions of the IRC at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Therefore,
      they believe that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as of December 31,
      2001 and 2000 and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the
      accompanying financial statements.

4.    INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

      Effective January 1, 1993, the Parent formed the Master Trust in
      accordance with a master trust agreement with PNC Bank.

      Use of a master trust permits the commingling of investments that fund
      various Parent-sponsored defined contribution plans for investment and
      administrative purposes. Although assets are commingled in the Master
      Trust, PNC Bank maintains records for the purpose of allocating
      contributions and changes in net assets of the Master Trust to
      participating plans based upon each plan's proportionate interest in the
      Master Trust. The following represents the 2001 and 2000 audited financial
      information regarding the net assets and investment income of the Master
      Trust:



      Investments, at fair value, held by the Master Trust at December 31, 2001
        are summarized as follows:
