                          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 available for
benefits 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") as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the
related combined statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. 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 combined
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the combined financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall combined financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such combined financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plans as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, 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 on Page 8 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002, 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.

      This plan is not subject to any provisions of the United States Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, nor is it qualified under the
      United States Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a).

      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:

      o Invest the full amount to purchase Procter & Gamble securities.
      o Invest the full amount in bank deposits.
      o 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, 2002 were 279, 96 and 59 (2001: 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.

AND MODERN PRODUCTS COMPANY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


      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 portion 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 Forfeitures). 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 the requirement for full vesting (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).

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      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

      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.

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

      The accompanying combined financial statements have been 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.

      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 Plans invest in Procter & Gamble securities. 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
      Procter & Gamble securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the
      value of Procter & Gamble securities will occur in the near term and that
      such changes could materially affect the amount reported in the statements
      of net assets available for benefits.

      INVESTMENTS

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

      THE J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY COMMON STOCK

      In May of 2002, the Jif peanut butter and Crisco shortening brands were
      spun-off to The Procter & Gamble Company's ("P&G") shareholders and
      subsequently merged into The J.M. Smucker Company ("Smuckers"). As a
      result of the spin-off, participants holding P&G common stock received one
      share of Smuckers stock for every fifty shares of P&G stock. The cost
      basis of the P&G common stock prior to the Smuckers spin-off was allocated
      between P&G common stock held and the Smuckers common stock received.
      Participants are not permitted to purchase additional shares of Smuckers.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      INTEREST INCOME

      Interest income represents interest earned on bank deposits.

      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 2002, 2001 and 2000 were not
      significant.

      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 Government of the United States of
      America.

      CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

      During March of 2000, a class action lawsuit was filed against P&G, the
      Companies' parent company, by shareholders of P&G. The class was certified
      on October 29, 2001 by the United States District Court for the Southern
      District of Ohio, Western Division (the "Court"), and a settlement of
      US$49,000,000 has been approved. The Plans joined the class of plaintiffs
      on March 29, 2002. Once the allocation of the settlement is determined and
      approved by the court, the Plans will receive their portion of the
      settlement amount to allocate to employee accounts.
