 To the  Participants  and Savings Plan  Committee of the American Home Products
 Corporation Savings Plan - Puerto Rico:

 We have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of net  assets  applicable  to
 participants'  equity of the American Home Products  Corporation Savings Plan -
 Puerto Rico as of  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  and the related  statement  of
 changes in net assets  applicable  to  participants'  equity for the year ended
 December 31, 1998. These financial  statements and the  supplemental  schedules
 referred  to  below  are  the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management.  Our
 responsibility  is to  express an opinion  on these  financial  statements  and
 schedules based on our audits.

 We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
 standards. 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,  the financial  statements referred to above present fairly, in
 all material respects, the net assets applicable to participants' equity of the
 American  Home Products  Corporation  Savings Plan - Puerto Rico as of December
 31,  1998  and  1997,  and  the  changes  in  its  net  assets   applicable  to
 participants'  equity for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity  with
 generally accepted accounting principles.

 Our audits  were  performed  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
 financial  statements taken as a whole.  The  supplemental  schedules of assets
 held for  investment  purposes and  reportable  transactions  are presented for
 purposes  of  additional  analysis  and are not a  required  part of the  basic
 financial  statements  but  are  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 fund  information in
 the statements of net assets  applicable to participants'  equity and statement
 of changes in net assets  applicable to  participants'  equity is presented for
 purposes  of  additional  analysis  rather  than  to  present  the  net  assets
 applicable  to  participants'  equity and changes in net assets  applicable  to
 participants'  equity  of  each  fund.  The  supplemental  schedules  and  fund
 information  have been  subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied in the
 audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
 in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
 a whole.

                   AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS CORPORATION
                       SAVINGS PLAN - PUERTO RICO
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





NOTE 1 - PLAN DESCRIPTION
         ----------------

The following description of the American Home Products Corporation Savings Plan
- - Puerto Rico (the  "Plan")  only  provides  general  information.  Participants
should refer to the Plan Document for a more  detailed and complete  description
of the Plan's provisions.

General
- -------

The Plan, a defined  contribution  profit-sharing plan, was approved and adopted
by the Board of Directors of American  Home Products  Corporation  ("AHP" or the
"Company") and became effective on January 1, 1993. Full or part-time  employees
of the Company and its participating  subsidiaries who reside in Puerto Rico and
are not a  member  of a  recognized  collective  bargaining  agreement  unit are
eligible to  participate  in the Plan after  attaining age 21, as defined in the
Plan Document.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"),  as amended, and the Puerto Rico Internal
Revenue Code (the "PR Code").

In  connection  with  the  sale of the  Sherwood-Davis  & Geck  medical  devices
business  effective  February 28, 1998, the assets  attributable to participants
from the medical devices business were transferred out of the Plan.

Contributions
- -------------

Participants may elect to make contributions to the Plan in whole percentages up
to a maximum of 16% of their covered compensation, as defined. Contributions can
be made on a before-tax basis ("salary  deferral  contributions"),  an after-tax
basis ("after-tax contributions"), or a combination of both. AHP will contribute
an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the participant's covered compensation
to the  Plan.  Under  the PR Code,  salary  deferral  contributions  that can be
included for Plan purposes are subject to annual limitations.

Vesting and Separation From Service
- -----------------------------------

Participants  are  fully  vested  at all  times in  their  salary  deferral  and
after-tax contributions.  A participant is also fully vested in Company matching
contributions if the participant has at least five years of continuous  service,
as defined.  If  participants  have less than five years of continuous  service,
such participants become vested in their matching contributions according to the
following schedule:




                                 - 4 -





                                                            Vesting
               Years of Continuous Service                Percentage
               ---------------------------                ----------
                    1 year completed                           0%
                    2 years completed                         25%
                    3 years completed                         50%
                    4 years completed                         75%
                    5 years completed                        100%

Regardless of the number of years of continuous  service,  participants shall be
fully vested in their  matching  contribution  account upon reaching  their 65th
birthday or upon death, if earlier.

The  non-vested  portion of the matching  contribution  is forfeited and becomes
available to satisfy future  Company  matching  contributions,  if employment is
terminated  prior to full  vesting.  As of  December  31,  1998,  the  amount of
forfeitures available to offset future Company contributions totaled $4,367.

Distributions
- -------------

Participants  are  entitled  to withdraw  all or any portion of their  after-tax
contributions. Participants may make full or partial withdrawals of funds in any
of their  accounts  upon  attaining  age 59 1/2 or for  financial  hardship,  as
defined in the Plan,  before that age.  Participants  may  qualify for  hardship
withdrawals if they have an immediate and heavy financial need, as determined by
the AHP Savings  Plan  Committee - Puerto  Rico (the  "Committee"),  and have no
other  funds that are  readily  available  to meet that need.  Participants  are
limited to one hardship and one non-hardship withdrawal each year.

Upon  termination  of  employment,  participants  are  entitled  to  a  lump-sum
distribution of their vested account  balance.  An election can be made to defer
the distribution if the participant's account balance is greater than $5,000 and
if the participant is less than 70 1/2 years of age.

Loans
- -----

Employees who have a vested  account  balance of at least $2,000 may borrow from
the  vested  portion of their  account,  subject  to  certain  maximum  amounts.
Participants in the Plan may borrow up to 50% of their vested account  balances.
Each loan is secured by the borrower's vested interest in their account balance.
Participants  may have  outstanding up to two general purpose loans and one loan
to acquire or construct a principal residence. All loans must be repaid within 5
years except for those used to acquire or construct a principal residence, which
must be repaid within 15 years.  Defaults on participants' loans during the year
are treated as a taxable  distribution of the outstanding  balance. The interest
rate charged  provides a return  commensurate  with a market rate, or such other
rate as permitted by government regulations.

Amendments to the Plan
- ----------------------

Effective  January 1, 1998,  the Committee  amended the Plan with regards to the
provisions dealing with hardship  withdrawals,  restrictions on loan repayments,
and to increase from $3,500 to $5,000 the threshold for the automatic cashout of
terminated employees.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         -------------------

Investment Valuation
- --------------------

AHP's  common  stock fund is recorded at the fair market  value at December  31,
1998 and 1997.  Shares in the  Fidelity  Funds and the MAS Value  Portfolio  are
recorded at fair market value, which is based on their published net asset value
at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The contracts comprising the Interest Income Fund
are  recorded at  contract  value  based upon  information  supplied by Fidelity
Management Trust Company which approximates market value.

Investment  transactions  are recorded on a trade date basis. Net realized gains
and losses on investments are determined,  for accounting purposes,  on a moving
weighted average basis as of the trade date and are included in net appreciation
(depreciation)  of  investments  in the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Net  Assets
Applicable to Participants' Equity.

The net  change in the  difference  between  cost and  current  market  value of
investments held is reflected in net appreciation  (depreciation) of investments
in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Applicable to Participants' Equity.

Administrative Costs
- --------------------

All costs and expenses of administering the Plan are paid by AHP.

Receivable from Employer
- ------------------------

The receivable from employer at December 31, 1998 and 1997  represents  employer
and employee  contributions and loan repayments  withheld from employees but not
remitted to the trustee until after the Plan's year-end.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The  financial  statements  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted   accounting   priciples  and  necessarily  include  amounts  based  on
judgements and estimates made by management.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ELECTIONS
         --------------------

Participants  can elect to invest  amounts  credited to their  account in any of
eight investment funds and transfer amounts between funds at any time during the
year.  Investment  elections must be made in multiples of 10%. Transfers between
funds must be made in whole percentages and/or in an amount of at least $250.



                                    - 6 -




The eight investment options are as follows:

    Interest  Income  Fund -  consists  primarily  of  contracts  issued by life
    insurance  companies  which pay a  specified  rate of  interest  for a fixed
    period of time and repay  principal at maturity.  The fund and its contracts
    are not  guaranteed by the Company or any other  institution.  However,  the
    Committee has  established  guidelines that provide that contracts be placed
    with companies  rated Aa3 or higher by Moody's and AA- or higher by Standard
    & Poor. The interest rate payable to Plan participants in this fund will be
    a rate which reflects a blend of the total investments made by the fund. The
    average blended interest rate  attributable to these contracts  approximated
    6.59% for 1998.

    AHPC Common Stock Fund - consists  primarily of AHP common stock.  Purchases
    and sales of AHP common stock are made in the open market. Participants have
    full voting rights for equivalent  shares purchased at their direction under
    the Plan.

    Fidelity  Magellan  Fund - consists  of shares in a mutual  fund  managed by
    Fidelity   Management  &  Research  Company  that  seeks  long-term  capital
    appreciation  by actively  managing  investments  in the stocks of companies
    with above average growth potential.

    Fidelity  Balanced  Fund - consists  of shares in a mutual  fund  managed by
    Fidelity  Management & Research Company,  which is invested in high yielding
    securities,  including common stocks,  preferred  stocks and bonds,  with at
    least 25% of the fund's assets in fixed income senior securities.

    Fidelity International Growth & Income Fund - consists of shares in a mutual
    fund managed by Fidelity  Management & Research Company that seeks long-term
    growth and current income by investing in assets,  of which at least 65% are
    in  securities  of issuers  that have their  principal  business  activities
    outside of the United States.

    Fidelity  Spartan  U.S.  Equity  Index Fund - consists of shares in a mutual
    fund managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company that seeks to provide
    investment  results that  correspond to the total return  performance of the
    companies that make up the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

    Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund - consists of shares in a mutual fund managed
    by Fidelity Management & Research Company that invests primarily in domestic
    and international small capitalization equities.

    MAS Value  Portfolio - consists of shares in a mutual fund managed by Miller
    Anderson & Sherrerd  which seeks long-term returns by investing in stocks of
    large and mid-sized companies.







                                  - 7 -






NOTE 4 - MANAGEMENT OF THE PLAN
         ----------------------

The Plan is administered  by the Committee,  which was appointed by the Board of
Directors of AHP. Banco Popular de Puerto Rico is the Plan's  trustee.  Fidelity
Management  Trust  Company  is the  recordkeeper  of the  participant  accounts,
custodian of the Plan's assets, and is a party-in-interest to the Plan.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAX STATUS
         -----------------

Puerto Rico
- -----------

The Plan is designed to be a qualified  profit-sharing plan under Section 165(a)
of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 (the "Act") and the trust  established
under the Plan is intended to be tax-exempt under Section 165(a) of the Act. The
Company  has  obtained  from the Puerto  Rico  Treasury  Department  a favorable
determination  letter that covers all plan  amendments  through January 1, 1996.
The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the
Plan  administrator  believes that the Plan and the trust, meet the requirements
of the Act. The principal  income tax consequences of participation in the Plan,
are discussed in the Summary Plan Description and the Plan Prospectus.

Federal Income Tax Status
- -------------------------

The  Plan  does  not  constitute  a  qualified  profit-sharing  plan  under  the
provisions of Section  401(a) of the Internal  Revenue Code (the "Code") and the
"cash and  deferred  arrangement"  incorporated  in the Plan is not  intended to
qualify  under  Section  401(k) of the Code.  Pursuant to Section  1022(i)(1) of
ERISA,  however, the trust established  thereunder is exempt from Federal income
tax under Section  501(a) of the Code. An individual who is a bona fide resident
of Puerto Rico during the entire taxable year will not be subject to any Federal
income tax on income derived from sources within Puerto Rico. Additional Federal
income tax consequences are set forth in the Summary Plan Description.

NOTE 6 - PLAN TERMINATION
         ----------------

Although it has not  expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan  subject  to the  provisions  of ERISA.  In the event of Plan  termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their Company contribution  accounts and
are entitled to full distribution of such amounts.

Plan's total net assets are as follows:
