NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”) in preparing these unaudited financial statements. In our opinion, we made all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. You should read these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements contained in our 2010 Form 10-K. When used in these notes, the terms “Avon,” “Company,” “we” or “us” mean Avon Products, Inc.

For interim consolidated financial statement purposes, our tax provision is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. We also provide for accruals under our various employee benefit plans for each quarter based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense.

We have revised some immaterial amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for comparative purposes. We reclassified $5.5 from Noncurrent assets and liabilities to Proceeds from sale of investments.

New Accounting Standards Implemented

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends FASB Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Effective January 1, 2011, ASU 2010-06 required additional disclosures regarding activity in Level 3 Fair Value measurements. This disclosure requirement did not have an impact on our interim Fair Value disclosures.

New Accounting Standards to be Implemented

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for Avon as of January 1, 2012 and will be applied prospectively. Avon is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2011-04, but currently believes there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective as of January 1, 2012 for Avon and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements, other than presentation.

Out-of-Period Items

During 2011, the Company determined that the net after tax gain on sale of Avon Products Company Limited (“Avon Japan”), reported in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, should have been reported as a net after tax loss of $3, to correctly include all balances relating to Avon Japan that were previously included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). In addition, in the first quarter of 2011 the Company released a liability relating to a previously owned health care business, which should have been released in a prior period, resulting in a $4 increase in net income. The results of these businesses were originally reported within discontinued operations upon disposition. The net impact of these two items decreased net income for the first quarter of 2011 by $9. We evaluated these adjustments in relation to the current period, which is when they were corrected, as well as the periods in which they originated and concluded that these adjustments are immaterial to both the consolidated quarterly and annual financial statements for all periods.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents.

At June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not include stock options to purchase 19.1 million shares and 18.1 million shares of Avon common stock, respectively, in the calculations of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

We purchased approximately 0.3 million shares of Avon common stock for $7.0 during the first six months of 2011, as compared to approximately 0.4 million shares of Avon common stock for $10.9 during the first six months of 2010 under our previously announced share repurchase program and through acquisition of stock from employees in connection with tax payments upon vesting of restricted stock units.

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, that we expected to contribute approximately $90 to $100 and $40 to $45 to our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, in 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we made approximately $85 and $4 of contributions to the U.S. and non-U.S pension plans, respectively. We anticipate contributing approximately $5 to $15 and $36 to $41 to fund our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, respectively, during the remainder of 2011. Our funding requirements may be impacted by regulations or interpretations thereof.

5. CONTINGENCIES

In 2002 and 2004, our Brazilian subsidiary received a series of excise tax assessments from the Brazilian tax authorities for alleged tax deficiencies during the years 1997-2001 asserting that the establishment in 1995 of separate manufacturing and distribution companies in that country was done without a valid business purpose and that Avon Brazil did not observe minimum pricing rules to define the taxable basis of excise tax, based on purported market sales data. The structure adopted in 1995 is comparable to that used by other companies in Brazil. We believe that our Brazilian corporate structure is appropriate, both operationally and legally, and that the assessments are unfounded. The 2004 assessment has been officially closed in our favor and the 2002 assessment is being vigorously contested. In the opinion of our outside counsel, the likelihood that the 2002 assessment ultimately will be upheld is remote. Management believes that the likelihood that the assessment will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows is correspondingly remote.

Our appeal of the 2004 assessment was granted in our favor in May 2010 at the second administrative level. In January 2011, a

10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

motion was filed by the tax authorities seeking clarification on a certain point in the decision on the 2004 assessment. In May 2011, the second administrative level rejected the motion and, as stated above, the 2004 assessment has been officially closed in our favor as the Brazilian tax authorities did not pursue any further appeals. The 2004 assessment, including penalties and accruing interest, amounted to approximately $419 at the exchange rate on June 30, 2011.

In October 2010, the 2002 assessment was upheld at the first administrative level at an amount reduced to $39 from $93, including penalties and accruing interest, at the exchange rate on June 30, 2011. We have appealed this decision to the second administrative level. In the event that the 2002 assessment is upheld at the third and last administrative level, it may be necessary for us to provide security to pursue further appeals, which, depending on the circumstances, may result in a charge to income. It is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the amount or range of expense that could result from an unfavorable outcome in respect of this or any additional assessments that may be issued for subsequent periods.

As previously reported, we have engaged outside counsel to conduct an internal investigation and compliance reviews focused on compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and related U.S. and foreign laws in China and additional countries. The internal investigation, which is being conducted under the oversight of our Audit Committee, began in June 2008. As we reported in October 2008, we voluntarily contacted the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Department of Justice to advise both agencies of our internal investigation. We are continuing to cooperate with both agencies and inquiries by them, including but not limited to, signing tolling agreements, translating and producing documents and assisting with interviews.

As previously reported in July 2009, in connection with the internal investigation, we commenced compliance reviews regarding the FCPA and related U.S. and foreign laws in additional countries in order to evaluate our compliance efforts. We are conducting these compliance reviews in a number of other countries selected to represent each of the Company's international geographic segments. The internal investigation and compliance reviews are focused on reviewing certain expenses and books and records processes, including, but not limited to, travel, entertainment, gifts, use of third party vendors and consultants and related due diligence, joint ventures and acquisitions, and payments to third-party agents and others, in connection with our business dealings, directly or indirectly, with foreign governments and their employees. In connection with the ongoing internal investigation and compliance reviews, certain personnel actions have been taken and additional personnel actions may be taken in the future. For additional information, see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and “Risk Factors” contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The internal investigation and compliance reviews of these matters are ongoing, and we continue to cooperate with both agencies with respect to these matters. In connection with the internal investigation and compliance reviews, we continue to enhance our ethics and compliance program, including our policies and procedures, FCPA compliance-related training, FCPA third party due diligence program and other compliance-related resources. At this point we are unable to predict the duration, scope, developments in, results of, or consequences of the internal investigation and compliance reviews.

Beginning in July and August 2010, several derivative actions were filed against certain present or former officers and/or directors of the Company that allege breach of fiduciary duty, and, in certain complaints, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment and/or proxy disclosure violations, relating to the Company's compliance with the FCPA. The relief sought in one or more of the derivative complaints includes certain declaratory and equitable relief, restitution, unspecified damages, exemplary damages and interest. The Company is named as a nominal defendant. These actions include three consolidated federal court actions (Murray C. White, derivatively on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. v. Andrea Jung, et al. and Avon Products, Inc. as nominal defendant (filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 10-CV-5560); County of York Employees Retirement Plan, derivatively on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. v. W. Don Cornwell, et al. and Avon Products, Inc. as nominal defendant (originally filed in the New York Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 651065/2010 and now refiled in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 10-CIV-5933); and IBEW Local 1919 Pension Fund, derivatively on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. v. W. Don Cornwell, et al. and Avon Products, Inc. as nominal defendant (filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 10-CIV-6256)) and two state court actions (Carol J. Parker, derivatively on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. v. W. Don Cornwell, et al. and Avon Products, Inc. as nominal defendant (filed in the New York Supreme Court, Nassau County, Index No. 600570/2010) and Lynne Schwartz, derivatively on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. v. Andrea Jung et al. and Avon Products, Inc. as nominal defendant (filed in the New York Supreme Court, New York County, Index No. 651304/2010)). On May 12, 2011, plaintiffs in the consolidated federal court actions (White v. Jung, et al.) filed a consolidated complaint that alleges breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and proxy disclosure violations, relating to the Company's compliance with the FCPA, including the adequacy of the Company's internal controls. On June 13, 2011, defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated federal court actions, and also on June 13, 2011, on application of plaintiffs, the Court stayed briefing on defendants' motion to dismiss pending a status conference. We are unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

On July 6, 2011, a purported shareholder's class action complaint (City of Brockton Retirement System v. Avon Products, Inc., et al., No. 11-CIV-4665) was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain present or former officers and/or directors of the Company. The complaint is brought on behalf of a purported class consisting of all persons or entities who either (1) were Avon shareholders as of the close of business on March 17, 2011, March 17, 2010, March 18, 2009, March 14, 2008, or March 15, 2007 and therefore were eligible to vote proxies or (2) purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Avon's common stock from July 31, 2006 through and including May 24, 2011. The complaint asserts violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegedly false or misleading statements and omissions with respect to, among other things, the Company's compliance with the FCPA, including the adequacy of the Company's internal controls. In light of, among other things, the early stage of the litigation, we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter and are unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome.

Various other lawsuits and claims, arising in the ordinary course of business or related to businesses previously sold, are pending or threatened against Avon. In management’s opinion, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving such other contingencies at June 30, 2011, should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

9. RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

2005 Restructuring Program

In November 2005, we announced a multi-year turnaround plan to restore sustainable growth. As part of our turnaround plan, we launched a restructuring program in late 2005 (the “2005 Restructuring Program”). Restructuring initiatives under this program include:

• enhancement of organizational effectiveness, including efforts to flatten the organization and bring senior management closer to consumers through a substantial organization downsizing;

• implementation of a global manufacturing strategy through facilities realignment;

• implementation of additional supply chain efficiencies in distribution; and

• streamlining of transactional and other services through outsourcing and moves to lower-cost countries.

We have approved and announced all of the initiatives that are part of our 2005 Restructuring Program. We expect to record total restructuring charges and other costs to implement restructuring initiatives of approximately $510 before taxes. We have recorded total costs to implement, net of adjustments, of $515.2 ($1.5 in the first six months of 2011, $3.2 in 2010, $20.1 in 2009, $59.3 in 2008, $157.5 in 2007, $217.1 in 2006, and $56.5 in 2005) for actions associated with our restructuring initiatives. We will incur other costs to implement restructuring initiatives such as other professional services and accelerated depreciation. These future costs are expected to be more than offset by gains on the sales of properties exited due to restructuring initiatives.

2009 Restructuring Program

In February 2009, we announced a new restructuring program (the “2009 Restructuring Program”) which targets increasing levels of efficiency and organizational effectiveness across the Company’s global operations. We have approved and announced all of the initiatives that are part of our 2009 Restructuring Program. The 2009 Restructuring Program initiatives include:

• restructuring the Company’s global supply chain operations;

• realigning certain local business support functions to a more regional basis to drive increased efficiencies; and

• streamlining transaction related services, including selective outsourcing; and reorganizing certain other functions.

We expect to record total restructuring charges and other costs to implement restructuring initiatives in the range of $300 to $310 before taxes over the next several years, with implementation to be completed by 2012-2013. We have recorded total costs to implement, net of adjustments, of $253.5 ($25.2 in the first six months of 2011, $77.5 in 2010 and $150.8 in 2009), for actions associated with our restructuring initiatives.

In July 2010, we acquired substantially all the assets and liabilities of Silpada Designs, Inc. (“Silpada”), for approximately $650 in cash, plus a potential additional payment in early 2015 based on the achievement of earnings growth of the Silpada North America business during the periods between 2012 through 2014. Silpada is included within our North America segment. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $314.7, indefinite-lived trademarks of $150.0 and customer relationships of $172.8. The customer relationships have an average 10-year useful life. At the date of the acquisition, a liability of approximately $26 was recorded associated with this potential additional consideration (“contingent consideration”), based on a

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

valuation of the estimated fair value of the liability after probability-weighting and discounting various potential payments. At December 31, 2010, we estimated that the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $11. At June 30, 2011, we estimated that the potential additional payment associated with the contingent consideration could range from $0 to approximately $15 and that the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $4.2. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration was recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses and was primarily due to a decrease in estimates of the ultimate earnout.

Due to the impact of rising silver prices and a decline in revenues relative to our internal forecasts, we completed an interim analysis of the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles impairment assessment related to Silpada. The asset impairment analyses performed for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles require several estimates including future cash flows, growth rates and the selection of discount rates. The estimation of fair value utilizing discounted expected future cash flows includes numerous uncertainties which require our significant judgment when making assumptions of expected growth rates and the selection of discount rates as well as assumptions regarding general economic and business conditions, among other factors. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of Silpada included the discount rate (based on the weighted-average cost of capital), revenue growth, silver prices, and representative growth and activity rates. The fair value of Silpada for the goodwill impairment assessment was determined using an income approach, which focuses on the income producing capability of a reporting unit based on a prospective analysis of the business that is discounted at a risk adjusted rate. Based upon our interim assessment, Silpada's estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 13% as of June 30, 2011. The interim impairment review of our trademarks during the second quarter of 2011 used a risk adjusted discounted cash flow model and the relief-from-royalty method. The royalty rate used was based on a consideration of market rates. Based on the discounted cash flow model, we determined the fair value of our trademarks exceeded their carrying value by a small amount. As a result of the asset impairment analyses performed for goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks related to Silpada, no adjustments were necessary as of June 30, 2011. A decline in expected future cash flows and growth rates or a change in the risk-adjusted discount rate used to fair value expected future cash flows may result in an impairment charge for the goodwill and/or the indefinite-lived trademark.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents, Grantor trust cash and cash equivalents and Short term investments – Given the short term nature of these financial instruments, the stated cost approximates fair value.

Available-for-sale securities - The fair values of these investments were the quoted market prices for issues listed on securities exchanges.

Cash surrender value of supplemental life insurance - The fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policy.

Debt maturing within one year and long-term debt - The fair values of all debt and other financing were determined based on quoted market prices.

Foreign exchange forward contracts - The fair values of forward contracts were primarily based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date.

Interest-rate swap agreements - The fair values of interest-rate swap agreements were estimated based on LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

We assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s gain or loss, if any, is recorded in earnings in other expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. When we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued. When it is probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, we discontinue hedge accounting for the affected portion of the forecasted transaction, and reclassify gains or losses that were accumulated in AOCI to earnings.

Interest Rate Risk

We use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure. The interest rate swaps are used to either convert our fixed rate borrowing to a variable interest rate or to unwind an existing variable interest rate swap on a fixed rate borrowing. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we held interest-rate swap agreements that effectively converted approximately 74% , respectively of our outstanding long-term, fixed-rate borrowings to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Our total exposure to floating interest rates at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were approximately 82% and 81%, respectively.

At June 30, 2011, we had interest-rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt, with notional amounts totaling $1,725. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a net gain of $26.3 and $10.4 in interest expense for these interest-rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges. The gain on these interest-rate swap agreements was offset by an equal and offsetting loss in interest expense on our fixed-rate debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a net gain of $65.2 and $82.8 in interest expense for these interest-rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges. The gain on these interest-rate swap agreements was offset by an equal and offsetting loss in interest expense on our fixed-rate debt.

At times, we may de-designate the hedging relationship of a receive-fixed/pay-variable interest-rate swap agreement. In these cases, we enter into receive-variable/pay-fixed interest-rate swap agreements that are designed to offset the gain or loss on the de-designated contract. At June 30, 2011, we had interest-rate swap agreements that are not designated as hedges with notional amounts totaling $250. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 we recorded a net loss of $0 in other expense, net associated with these undesignated interest-rate swap agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a net loss of $0.1 in other expense, net associated with these undesignated interest-rate swap agreements.

Foreign Currency Risk

The primary currencies for which we have net underlying foreign currency exchange rate exposures are the Argentine peso, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese renminbi, Colombian peso, the euro, Mexican peso, Philippine peso, Polish zloty, Russian ruble, Turkish lira, Ukrainian hryvnia and Venezuelan bolivar. We use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage a portion of our foreign currency exchange rate exposures. At June 30, 2011, we had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $405.4 for the euro, the Hungarian forint, the Peruvian new sol, the Czech Republic koruna, the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Romanian leu, the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar.

We also use foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure of intercompany loans. These contracts are not designated as hedges. The change in fair value of these contracts is immediately recognized in earnings and substantially offsets the foreign currency impact recognized in earnings relating to the intercompany loans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a gain of $4.8 and $20.5, respectively, in other expense, net related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a loss of $2.7 and $16.9, respectively, related to the intercompany loans, caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a loss of $11.7 and $12.1, respectively, in other expense, net related to these undesignated foreign exchange forward contracts. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a gain of $12.8 and $13.7, respectively, related to the intercompany loans, caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

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

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

OVERVIEW

We are a global manufacturer and marketer of beauty and related products. Our business is conducted worldwide, primarily in the direct selling channel. We presently have sales operations in 64 countries and territories, including the U.S., and distribute products in 41 more. Our reportable segments are based on geographic operations in five regions: Latin America; North America; Central & Eastern Europe; Western Europe, Middle East & Africa; and Asia Pacific. We have centralized operations for Global Brand Marketing, Global Sales and Global Supply Chain. Our product categories are Beauty, Fashion and Home. Beauty consists of color cosmetics, fragrances, skin care and personal care. Fashion consists of jewelry, watches, apparel, footwear, accessories and children’s products. Home consists of gift and decorative products, housewares, entertainment and leisure products and nutritional products. Sales are made to the ultimate consumer principally through direct selling by approximately 6.5 million active independent Representatives, who are independent contractors and not our employees. The success of our business is highly dependent on recruiting, retaining and servicing our Representatives. During 2010, approximately 83% of our consolidated revenue was derived from operations outside the U.S.

During the first half of 2011, revenues increased 8%, impacted by favorable foreign exchange. Constant $ revenues increased 3%. Sales of products in the Beauty category increased 8%, partially due to favorable foreign exchange. On a Constant $ basis, sales of products in the Beauty category increased 3% due to a 4% increase in net per unit partially offset by 1% decrease in units. Active Representatives were flat. See the “Segment Review” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information related to changes in revenue by segment.

While there were ongoing execution improvements in Brazil and Russia in the second quarter, we saw slower than expected Beauty market growth in those markets as well as weaker macro-economic conditions in our developed markets. We are launching a major global field activation program for the second half of 2011 to help drive revenue growth.

We are implementing restructuring initiatives under our 2005 and 2009 Restructuring Programs. For a description of these restructuring initiatives, please refer to Item 7 of our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2010 Form 10-K”). With regards to the 2005 Restructuring Program, we expect to achieve annualized savings of approximately $415 once all initiatives are fully implemented by 2011-2012. With regards to the 2009 Restructuring Program, we remain on track with our expectations included in the 2010 Form 10-K. See Note 9, Restructuring Initiatives, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our restructuring programs.

We have increases in labor and commodity costs, including oil, silver and cotton, which our pricing strategies are helping to offset the resulting product cost increases.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, the results of Asia Pacific and China were managed as a single operating segment, referred to as Asia Pacific. Accordingly, 2011 and 2010 amounts include the results of China in the Asia Pacific segment. In December 2010, we completed the sale of our subsidiary in Japan, which has been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Information relating to new accounting standards is included in Note 1, Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 AS COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2010

Non- GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose operating results that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to these adjusted growth rates as Constant $ growth, which is a non- GAAP financial measure. We believe this measure provides investors an additional perspective on trends. To exclude the impact of changes due to the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars, we calculate current year results and prior year results at a constant exchange rate. Currency impact is determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

We present gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, operating profit, operating margin and effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis. The discussion of our segments presents operating profit and operating margin on a non-GAAP basis. We have provided a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measure and the financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operating performance and believes that it is meaningful for investors to be made aware of, on a period-to-period basis, the impacts of 1) costs to implement (“CTI”) restructuring initiatives and 2) costs and charges related to Venezuela being designated as a highly inflationary economy and the subsequent devaluation of its currency (“Venezuelan special items”). The Company believes investors find the non-GAAP information helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of operations separate from items that may have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s financial results in any particular period. The Venezuelan special items include the impact on the Statement of Income caused by the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency on monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash, receivables and payables; deferred tax assets and liabilities; and nonmonetary assets, such as inventory and prepaid expenses. For nonmonetary assets, the Venezuelan special items include the earnings impact caused by the difference between the historical cost of the assets at the previous official exchange rate of 2.15 and the revised official exchange rate of 4.30. See Note 9, Restructuring Initiatives and the Latin America segment review below for more information on these items.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Amounts in the table above may not necessarily sum because the computations are made independently.

*    calculation not meaningful

(1) Advertising expenses are included within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Revenue

Total revenue increased 9% in the three months endedJune 30, 2011 with favorable foreign exchange contributing 7 percentage points to the revenue increase. Constant $ revenue increased 2%. The acquisition of Silpada Designs, Inc. (“Silpada”) contributed approximately 150 basis points to revenue growth. Active Representatives were flat.

On a category basis, the increase in revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2011was primarily driven by an increase of 8% in Beauty sales, with increases in all sub-categories of Beauty. Within the Beauty category, fragrance and personal care each grew 11%, color cosmetics increased 8%, and skincare increased 3%. Fashion sales increased 10% and Home sales increased 5%. On a Constant $ basis, the Beauty category increased 1%. Within the Beauty category, on a Constant $ basis, sales of fragrance and personal care each increased 4%, sales of color cosmetics were flat, and sales of skincare decreased 4%. Constant $ sales of Fashion increased 5%, with the acquisition of Silpada contributing 8 points. Constant $ sales of Home decreased 2%.

Total revenue increased 8% in the six months endedJune 30, 2011 with favorable foreign exchange contributing 5 percentage points to the revenue increase. Constant $ revenue increased 3%. Acquisitions of Liz Earle Beauty Co. Limited (“Liz Earle”) and Silpada contributed approximately 2 points to revenue growth. Active Representatives were flat.

On a category basis, the increase in revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2011was primarily driven by an increase of 8% in Beauty sales, with increases in all sub-categories of Beauty. Within the Beauty category, fragrance increased 10%, personal care increased 10%, color cosmetics increased 7% and skincare increased 5%. Fashion sales increased 9% and Home sales increased 4%. On a Constant $ basis, the Beauty category increased 3%. Within the Beauty category on a Constant $ basis, sales of fragrance increased 5%, personal care increased 4%, color cosmetics increased 1%,and skincare was flat. Skincare Constant $ growth rates benefited by 2 points from the Liz Earle acquisition. Constant $ sales of Fashion increased 5%, with the acquisition of Silpada contributing 8 points. Constant $ sales of Home decreased 1%.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased by 100 and 150 basis points in the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, primarily due to the negative impact of the Venezuelan special items in the first half of 2010. Adjusted non-GAAP gross margin declined 30 basis points as the negative impact of rising product costs was partially offset by pricing benefits and favorable foreign currency.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted Non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011 were consistent with the same periods of 2010, as lower advertising was offset by increased investment in the Representative Value Proposition ("RVP"). We invested approximately $22 and $52 incrementally in our RVP in the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, by continued implementation of our Sales Leadership program and higher incentives. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues in the six months endedJune 30, 2011 also benefited by approximately 20 basis points due to lower than estimated payments associated with prior year management incentive compensation programs.

See the “Segment Review” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information related to changes in operating margin by segment.

Other Expense

Interest expense increased by 18% and 11% in the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances, partially offset by lower interest rates. At June 30, 2011, we held interest-rate swap agreements that effectively converted approximately 74% of our outstanding long-term, fixed-rate borrowings to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR.

AVON PRODUCTS, INC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Interest income increased by 15% and 5% in the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, due to higher interest rates.

Other expense, net decreased in the six months endedJune 30, 2011, primarily due to a $46.1 negative impact in the first half of 2010 from the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency on monetary assets and liabilities in conjunction with highly inflationary accounting which occurred in the first quarter of 2010 and which is discussed further within the Latin America segment review.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rates for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011 were 28.9% and 30.4%, respectively, compared to 33.8% and 44.7% for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2010, respectively. The three and six months endedJune 30, 2010 tax rates were negatively impacted by 4.0 and 13.3 points, respectively, due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency in conjunction with highly inflationary accounting discussed further within the Latin America segment review. Additionally, the tax rate for both periods of 2011 included greater tax benefits primarily from audit settlements and statute expirations, partially offset by a greater tax cost associated with the repatriation of anticipated current year earnings.

Total revenue for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, increased due to a higher average order and growth in Active Representatives, driven by continued investments in RVP, and favorable foreign exchange. Revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2011, grew 17% in Brazil and 27% in Mexico, with benefits from favorable foreign exchange. Constant $ revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2011, benefited from continued growth in most markets, with growth of 4% in Brazil and 18% in Mexico. In Venezuela, revenue and Constant $ revenue for the three months endedJune 30, 2011 grew 15% reflecting the increasingly challenging economic environment. Additional information regarding our Venezuela operations is discussed in more detail below. During the six months endedJune 30, 2011, revenue grew 14% in Brazil and 25% in Mexico, with benefits from favorable foreign exchange. Constant $ revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2011, benefited from continued growth in most markets, with growth of 3% in Brazil and 17% in Mexico. In Venezuela, revenue and Constant $ revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2011 grew 26%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Constant $ revenue growth for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011 in Brazil, was driven by increases in Active Representatives and average order. Brazil’s performance for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, continued to be pressured by lower than normal service levels and a decline in skincare sales. While we continue to make progress towards stabilizing the service environment, we believe lower than normal service levels have negatively impacted Representative ordering behavior during the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011. We are commencing the roll-out of Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") in Brazil in the third quarter of 2011, which is expected to help ensure our service reliability over the long-term.

Constant $ revenue growth in Mexico for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011 was primarily driven by an increase in Active Representatives. Revenue growth for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, in Venezuela reflected a higher average order primarily due to increased prices, partially as a result of inflation.

Operating margin for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2010, in Latin America was negatively impacted by the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency in conjunction with highly inflationary accounting as discussed further below. On an Adjusted Non-GAAP basis, the decrease in operating margin for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011 was primarily driven by increased investment in RVP, higher distribution costs due to the transition to new facilities in Brazil and Colombia and higher bad debt expense. Partially offsetting these items was lower advertising and improved gross margin, which benefited from favorable foreign exchange and improved pricing.

Effective January 1, 2010, we began to account for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy. Effective January 11, 2010, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency and moved to a two-tier exchange structure. The official exchange rate moved from 2.15 to 2.60 for essential goods and to 4.30 for nonessential goods and services. Effective December 30, 2010, the Venezuelan government eliminated the 2.60 rate which had been available for the import of essential goods. Substantially all of the imports of our subsidiary in Venezuela (“Avon Venezuela”) fall into the nonessential classification.

As a result of the change in the official rate to 4.30 in conjunction with accounting for our operations in Venezuela under highly inflationary accounting guidelines, during the first quarter of 2010, we recorded net charges of $46.1 in “Other expense, net” and $12.7 in “income taxes”, for a total after-tax charge of $58.8, reflecting the write-down of monetary assets and liabilities and deferred tax benefits. Additionally, certain nonmonetary assets must continue to be carried at U.S. historic dollar cost subsequent to the devaluation. Therefore, the historic U.S. dollar costs impacted the income statement during 2010 at a disproportionate rate as they had not been devalued based on the new exchange rates. As a result of using the U. S. historic dollar cost basis of nonmonetary assets, such as inventory, acquired prior to the devaluation, operating profit during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2010 was negatively impacted by $33.8 and $73.2, respectively, for the difference between the historical cost at the previous official exchange rate of 2.15 and the current official exchange rate of 4.30. Assuming no further devaluations, in 2011, there will be an immaterial impact on operating profit from the 2010 Venezuelan currency devaluations.

Currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government in 2003 have impacted the ability of Avon Venezuela to obtain foreign currency at the official rate to pay for imported products. Since 2003, Avon Venezuela had been obtaining its foreign currency needs beyond the amounts that could be obtained at official rates through non-government sources where the exchange rates were less favorable than the official rate (“parallel market”). In late May 2010, the Venezuelan government took control over the previously freely-traded parallel market. Trading in the parallel market was suspended for several weeks in May and June and reopened as a regulated (“SITME”) market in early June 2010. The government has imposed volume restrictions on trading activity, limiting an entity’s activity to a maximum of $0.35 per month. The current limit is below the monthly foreign exchange requirements of our Venezuelan operations and, unless these restrictions are modified, may have a negative impact on Avon Venezuela’s future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover the higher cost of obtaining foreign currency in the SITME market as compared to the official rate through operating activities, such as increased pricing or cost reductions in other areas.

At June 30, 2011, we had a net asset position of $164 associated with our operations in Venezuela, which included cash balances of approximately $150 of which approximately $146 was denominated in bolívares remeasured at the June 30, 2011 official exchange rate and approximately $4 was denominated in U.S. dollars. Of the $164 net asset position, approximately $143 was associated with bolívar-denominated monetary net assets and deferred income taxes. Additionally, during the first half of 2011 Avon Venezuela’s revenue and operating profit represented approximately 4% of both Avon’s consolidated revenue and Avon’s consolidated operating profit.

During the first half of 2011, the exchange rate in the SITME market ranged within 5 to 6 Bolívares to the U.S. Dollar. To illustrate our sensitivity to potential future changes in the official exchange rate in Venezuela, if the official exchange rate was further devalued as of June 30, 2011, to a rate of $5.7 Bolívares to the U.S. dollar, which was approximately the rate on June 30, 2011, in the SITME market, or an approximate 25% devaluation, our results would be negatively impacted as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

• As a result of the use of a further devalued exchange rate for the remeasurement of Avon Venezuela’s revenues and profits, Avon’s annualized consolidated revenues would likely be negatively impacted by approximately 1% and annualized consolidated operating profit would likely be negatively impacted by approximately 2% prospectively, assuming no operational improvements occurred to offset the negative impact of a further devaluation.

• Avon’s consolidated operating profit during the first twelve months following the devaluation in this example would likely be negatively impacted by approximately 4%, assuming no offsetting operational improvements. The larger negative impact on operating profit during the first twelve months as compared to the prospective impact is caused by costs of nonmonetary assets being carried at historic dollar cost in accordance with the requirement to account for Venezuela as a highly inflationary economy while revenue would be remeasured at the further devalued rate.

• We would likely incur an immediate charge of approximately $25 ($24 in “Other expenses, net” and $1 in “income taxes”) associated with the $143 of Bolívar-denominated monetary net assets and deferred income taxes.

For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2011, costs associated with acquiring goods that required settlement in U.S. dollars through the SITME markets in Venezuela included within operating profit were approximately $4 and $8. The amounts reported for costs associated with acquiring goods that required settlement in U.S. dollars through the parallel or SITME markets in Venezuela included within operating profit for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2010, were approximately $22 and $46, respectively. Additionally, if the exchange rate in the SITME market is further devalued, or an alternative source of exchange becomes available at an unfavorable rate beyond the rate of $5.7 Bolivares to the U.S. dollar, our results could be negatively impacted.

At June 30, 2011, Avon Venezuela had pending requests submitted with an agency of the Venezuelan government for approximately $76 for remittance of dividends and royalties to its parent company in the U.S. These outstanding requests had been periodically submitted between 2005 and 2009.

North America consists largely of the U.S. business and includes the results of Silpada, for the period since its acquisition at the end of July 2010. The inclusion of Silpada in our 2011 results favorably impacted North America revenue growth by 7 points and 8 points for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, respectively. Silpada also favorably impacted operating profit growth by 22 points and 15 points for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, and favorably impacted Adjusted Non-GAAP operating profit growth by 17 points and 13 points, respectively. As a result of the Silpada acquisition, units sold for both the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, were favorably impacted by 1 point. As a result of the Silpada acquisition, Active Representatives for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, were favorably impacted by 1 and 2 points, respectively. Please refer to Note 10 to our Financial Statements for a discussion regarding Silpada.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

The total revenue decline for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, was due to a decline in Active Representatives and a lower average order received from Representatives resulting from the shift away from non-Beauty and low level of giftables. Sales of non-Beauty products declined 3% in the three-month period endedJune 30, 2011, and were consistent with the prior year for the six-month period. Silpada contributed 16 points and 17 points for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, respectively, to non-Beauty growth rates. Sales of Beauty products decreased 11% and 9% in the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011.

For the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, the inclusion of Silpada results benefited adjusted Non-GAAP operating margin by 1.2 points and .7 points, respectively, despite $5 and $9, respectively, of amortization of intangible assets. Included within the Silpada results was an operating margin benefit during the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, of 1.3 points and .7 points, respectively, due to a change in the fair value of the contingent consideration recorded in connection with the acquisition, primarily due to a decrease in the estimated ultimate earnout. Adjusted Non-GAAP operating margin was negatively impacted by lower revenues while continuing to incur overhead expenses that do not vary directly with revenue, despite cost saving initiatives, partially offset by improved bad debt.

We expect our results to continue to be pressured as we focus on our recovery plan, which includes enhancing our sales leadership model and optimizing our product portfolio. As part of the optimization of our product portfolio, we are recalibrating our approach to the mix of Beauty and non-Beauty products, as our revenue decline reflects weaker average order due to the shift away from non-Beauty. We are also focusing on field transformation as we move to a stronger multi-level leadership structure and simplify the earnings opportunity.

Total revenue for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, grew as a result of favorable foreign exchange, offset by declines in Active Representatives. Additionally, revenues during the three months endedJune 30, 2011, were negatively impacted by a lower average order partly due to macro-economic pressures in the region. The region’s revenue for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, benefited from growth of 5% and 4% in Russia, due to favorable foreign exchange. In the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, Constant $ revenue in Russia decreased by 2% and 1% due to lower average order partially offset by an increase in Active Representatives. Russia’s weak performance during the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011 reflects the negative impact of macro-economic conditions, which more than offset positive Active Representative growth.

On an adjusted Non-GAAP basis, the decrease in operating margin for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, was primarily driven by increased RVP investment, in part to address the increased social benefit taxes levied against certain Representatives beginning in 2010, and higher distribution costs due to infrastructure investment and higher commodity costs. Adjusted Non-GAAP operating margin for the six months endedJune 30, 2011 benefited from improved gross margins.

Total revenue in the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, increased primarily as a result of an increase in Active Representatives. The region’s revenue growth in the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, was primarily due to significant growth in South Africa and growth in Turkey. The acquisition of Liz Earle contributed approximately 2 points to revenue growth in the six-month period endedJune 30, 2011. For the three months endedJune 30, 2011, revenue in Turkey increased 1%, or 3% on a Constant $ basis, due to an increase in Active Representatives partially offset by lower average order. For the six months endedJune 30, 2011, revenue in Turkey increased 7%, or 10% on a Constant $ basis, due to strong growth in Active Representatives and larger average order. For the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, revenue increased 52% and 57% in South Africa, partially benefiting from favorable foreign exchange. Constant $ revenue growth of 38% and 42% for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, in South Africa was primarily attributable to strong growth in Active Representatives, which benefited from the roll-out of Sales Leadership. For the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, revenue increased 2% and 1% in the United Kingdom benefiting from favorable foreign exchange, while Constant $ revenue declined by 7% and 5% primarily due to a lower average order due to macro-economic challenges and weak merchandising, as well as a decline in Active Representatives during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011.

The decreases in operating margin and Adjusted Non-GAAP operating margin for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, were primarily driven by a decline in gross margin due to higher commodity costs, adverse product mix and the negative impact of foreign currency.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, the results of Asia Pacific and China were managed as a single operating segment. Accordingly, 2011 and 2010 amounts include the results of China. In addition, the region’s results for 2010 exclude the results of Japan, which was sold in 2010 and classified as a discontinued operation.

Total revenue declined for the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, due to a decline in Active Representatives, partially offset by favorable foreign exchange and a higher average order. Revenue grew 7% in the Philippines for both the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, benefiting partially from favorable foreign exchange. Constant $ revenue in the Philippines increased by 2% for both the three- and six-month periods endedJune 30, 2011, driven by balanced growth in Active Representatives and a higher average order. Growth rates in the Philippines have experienced a slowdown reflecting increased competitive activity.

We continue to transition away from our complex hybrid business model in China to one which focuses on direct selling. This transition to a direct selling model includes the roll-out of service centers, realigning the field compensation structure and recalibrating merchandising and campaign management strategies to support direct selling. We anticipate that this will position us to expand our direct selling penetration and coverage over time. As part of this transition, existing Beauty Boutiques are converting into service centers under the updated model. Reflecting this continued transition to direct selling, revenue declined 28% and 30% in China for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, benefiting partially from favorable foreign exchange, and Constant $ revenue in China declined 31% and 33% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. In addition, Active Representatives declined 58% and 56% for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. This continued transition has impacted our business and will continue to negatively impact our near-term outlook in China. We remain positive about our long-term revenue and operating profit opportunities in China.

Operating margin decreased during the three-month period endedJune 30, 2011, primarily due to lower gross margin, and the negative impact of lower revenues while continuing to incur overhead expenses that do not vary directly with revenue. Partially offsetting these declines was the benefit to operating margin from lower advertising costs, primarily in China. Operating margin increased during the six-month period endedJune 30, 2011, due to lower advertising costs, primarily in China. With regards to gross margin, while favorable pricing offset higher commodity costs, gross margin declined due to adverse product mix.

Net Global expenses	$	44.4		$	67.7		(34	)%	$	96.1		$	113.7		(15	)%

Total Global expenses declined during the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to lower expenses associated with global initiatives, lower costs to implement restructuring initiatives and lower professional and related fees associated with the FCPA investigation and compliance reviews described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included herein of approximately $22 (down approximately $2 in comparison to the three months endedJune 30, 2010). Total Global expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 increased due to $8.8 of higher costs to implement restructuring initiatives and higher costs associated with global initiatives, partially offset by lower than estimated payments associated with prior year management incentive compensation programs, lower brand marketing costs, and lower professional and related fees associated with the FCPA investigation and compliance reviews of $45 (down approximately $3 in comparison to the six months endedJune 30, 2010). Amounts allocated to segments increased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in costs associated with initiatives more specifically benefiting the segments as compared to global initiatives. Professional and related fees associated with the FCPA investigation and compliance reviews, while difficult to predict, are expected to continue and may vary during the course of this investigation. These costs were not allocated to the segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of funds historically have been cash flows from operations, commercial paper and borrowings under lines of credit. As disclosed in the Latin America Segment Review, currency restrictions enacted by the Venezuelan government have impacted our ability to repatriate dividends and royalties from our Venezuelan operations on a timely basis. We currently believe that existing cash outside of Venezuela, as well as cash to be generated from operations outside of Venezuela along with available sources of public and private financing are adequate to meet the Company’s anticipated requirements for working capital, dividends, capital expenditures, the share repurchase program, possible acquisitions and other cash needs in the short and long term. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are held outside of the U.S., as it relates to undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, a portion of which we intend to reinvest indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries. If these indefinitely reinvested earnings were distributed to the U.S. parent as dividends, we may be subject to additional taxes.

We may, from time to time, seek to repurchase our equity or to retire our outstanding debt, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to derivative instruments or otherwise.

Retirements of debt will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material. We may also elect to incur additional debt or issue equity or convertible securities to finance ongoing operations, acquisitions or to meet our other liquidity needs.

Any issuances of equity securities or convertible securities could have a dilutive effect on the ownership interest of our current shareholders and may adversely impact earnings per share in future periods.

Our liquidity could also be impacted by dividends, capital investments and acquisitions. At any given time, we may be in discussions and negotiations with potential acquisition candidates. Acquisitions may be accretive or dilutive and by their nature, involve numerous risks and uncertainties. See our Cautionary Statement for purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Cash Flows

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

During the first half of 2011, operating activities provided $88.2 as compared to $232.2 of cash in 2010. Operating cash flow during the first half of 2011 was negatively impacted by higher inventory levels, a $75 contribution to the U.S pension plan and a payment associated with a long-term incentive compensation plan of $36. These negative impacts were partially offset by higher cash related net income.

(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities during the first half of 2011 was $105.6 lower than during the first half of 2010, primarily due to the acquisition of Liz Earle in 2010, partially offset by higher purchases of short-term investments during 2011.

Net Cash Used by Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities of $122.9 during the first half of 2011, compared favorably to cash used by financing activities of $219.5 during the first half of 2010. Net cash used by financing activities in 2011 benefited from higher issuances of commercial paper.

We increased our quarterly dividend payments to $.23 per share in 2011 from $.22 per share in the same period of 2010.

Capital Resources

We maintain a three-year, $1,000.0 revolving credit and competitive advance facility (the “three year facility”) and a $300.0 364 day credit facility, (collectively, the “credit facilities”). See our 2010 Form 10-K for more information on the credit facilities. There were no borrowings under the credit facilities as of June 30, 2011.

We also maintain a $1,000.0 commercial paper program, which is supported by the three-year facility. There was $629.8 outstanding under this program as of June 30, 2011.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

Interest Rate Risk

We use interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate exposure. The interest rate swaps are used to either convert our fixed rate borrowing to a variable interest rate or to unwind an existing variable interest rate swap on a fixed rate borrowing. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we held interest-rate swap agreements that effectively converted approximately 74%, respectively, of our outstanding long-term, fixed-rate borrowings to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Our total exposure to floating interest rates at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was approximately 82% and 81%, respectively.

Foreign Currency Risk

We operate globally, with operations in various locations around the world. We derive approximately 83% of our consolidated revenue from operations of subsidiaries outside of the U.S. The functional currency for most of our foreign operations is the local currency. We may reduce our exposure to fluctuations in cash flows associated with changes in foreign exchange rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative financial instruments.

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of our 2010 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive and principal financial officers carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at June 30, 2011 at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information relating to Avon (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the evaluation we conducted, management has concluded that no such changes have occurred.

We are implementing an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system on a worldwide basis, which is expected to improve the efficiency of our supply chain and financial transaction processes. The gradual implementation is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. The implementation of a worldwide ERP system will likely affect the processes that constitute our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness.

We completed implementation in certain significant markets and will continue to roll-out the ERP system over the next several years. As with any new information technology application we implement, this application, along with the internal controls over financial reporting included in this process, were appropriately tested for effectiveness prior to the implementation in these countries. We concluded, as part of our evaluation described in the above paragraph, that the implementation of ERP in these countries is not reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
