Introductory Note--Restatements

     In connection with the settlement of the previously disclosed
investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to the
write off of an order management software system known as the "FIRST" project,
Avon has restated its Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999 and for the years then ended and for each of the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 1999 through March 31, 2002. Avon had written off
$14.8 pretax, or $10.0 after tax, of FIRST assets in the first quarter of 1999
and $23.9 pretax, or $14.5 after tax, of FIRST assets in the third quarter of
2001. Avon has restated its financial statements to reflect the additional
write off as of March 31, 1999 of all capitalized costs ($23.3 pretax, or $14.0
after tax), associated with the FIRST project as of that date and a reversal of
the charge recorded in the third quarter of 2001. Other FIRST-related activity
(capitalized costs and amortization) recorded during 1999-2002 has also been
restated. A description of the adjustments that comprise the restatements is
set forth in Notes 2 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
filed with this Form 10-K/A.

     The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the
restatements discussed above as well as the accounting changes outlined in Note
2. No attempt has been made in this Form 10-K/A to modify or update any
disclosures except as required to reflect the results of the restatements
discussed above and any changes made to prior period financial information for
which a Form 10-K/A was not filed.

foregoing and other factors, no assurance can be given as to the future results
and achievements of the Company. Neither the Company nor any other person
assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements.

General

     The Company is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of
beauty and related products, which include cosmetics, fragrance and toiletries
(CFT); "beauty plus" which consists of jewelry and accessories and apparel; and
"non-core" which consists of gift and decorative and home entertainment
products. Avon commenced operations in 1886 and was incorporated in the State
of New York on January 27, 1916. Avon's business is comprised of one industry
segment, direct selling, which is conducted in North America, Latin America,
the Pacific and Europe. The Company's reportable segments are based on
geographic operations. Financial information relating to the reportable
segments is incorporated by reference to the analysis of net sales and
operating profit by geographic area and to Note 12 of the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Avon's 1999 Restated Annual Report to
Shareholders.

Business Process Redesign

     In October 1997, the Company announced a worldwide business process
redesign ("BPR") program to streamline operations and improve profitability
through margin improvement and expense reductions. The


                                      -1-



special and non-recurring charges associated with this program totaled $136.4
pretax ($111.9 net of tax, or $.43 per share on a basic and diluted basis) for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and $154.4 pretax ($122.8 net of tax, or $.46
per share on a basic and diluted basis) for the year ended December 31, 1998.
At December 31, 1999, the remaining liability balance was $26.2 and relates
primarily to severance costs that will be paid in 2000.

     BPR initiatives underway are intended to reduce costs by up to $400.0 a
year by 2000, with a portion of the savings being reinvested primarily in
consumer-focused initiatives. Total savings from BPR initiatives for 1999
approximated $250.0.

Global Business Strategy

     In 1999, the Company adopted a new strategic plan to drive revenue growth
and expand its customer base around the world by building on the Company's
strength as a beauty marketer and a leading home direct seller. The new
strategy includes, but is not limited to, plans to accelerate growth in its
core beauty business by growing global brands, expanding market share,
upgrading its beauty image and new product innovation; building a global
portfolio of jewelry and accessories; developing innovative programs to train,
motivate and retain Representatives; exploiting retail opportunities; and
developing new businesses. The Company expects that its BPR programs will
continue to provide resources to fund these strategic growth initiatives and
contribute to earnings growth. Spending for product innovation and advertising
are also key components in building a global beauty image and reaching the end
consumer. In 2000, the Company will launch its first-ever global advertising
campaign and significantly expand its use of Internet technology.

     Avon's global strategies include the following key growth initiatives:

Direct Selling Contemporization

     The Company continues to contemporize its direct selling channel enabling
it to reach women quickly and efficiently by offering Representative training,
support and earnings opportunities. The Company is planning to roll out a
global Sales Leadership program in its ten largest markets around the world.
The Sales Leadership program is a modified multi-level selling system which
will give Representatives the opportunity to earn commissions generated from
downstream sales of other Representatives they recruit. This program limits the
number of levels to three and continues to focus on individual product sales.

     The Company also plans to implement a Representative development strategy
in 2000. This strategy will focus on the professional training and development
of its Representatives through the introduction of the Avon Beauty Advisor.
Beauty Advisor training will include an in-home study package as well as
seminars where Representatives will be trained


                                      -2-



to do beauty makeovers, where permissible, and consultations. In addition to
introducing the Avon Beauty Advisor, the Company has formed an alliance with a
sales motivation company to introduce a series of Avon-sponsored training
materials and seminars called "Success by Design". Avon is also developing
enhanced Representative training to support the Sales Leadership opportunity,
including a certification process for each Leadership level.

     In addition to the Sales Leadership program and Representative development
strategy, the Company is planning to build and relaunch its Avon.com Internet
site in the United States with a technology partner. The site will feature
Avon's full product line and will be designed to help its U.S. sales
Representatives build their own Avon business by enabling them to sell online
through their own personalized web pages, developed in partnership with the
Company. The Representatives can tailor their web pages to their specific
customer bases by promoting particular products, targeting specific age groups
and consumer segments, and reflecting seasonal interests and regional tastes.
These "e-Representatives" will be able to conduct all aspects of their Avon
business online, including customer prospecting, ordering, getting account
status and making payments. Avon will also sell products directly to consumers
if they choose not to purchase through a Representative.

     Additionally, the Company annually produces more than 600 million
brochures in a dozen languages, utilizing common imagery and layouts from a
single global database to enhance its global beauty image. In 2000, Avon plans
on incremental spending to upgrade the quality of brochures, in several of its
largest markets, including the U.S.

Complementary Access

     To accelerate growth in established industrial nations such as the U.S.,
Western Europe and Japan, the Company has developed new channels to reach more
customers and improve access to its products through Avon Beauty Centers and
Express Centers in the U.S., toll-free telephone numbers, direct mail and "on
line" shopping via the Internet on Avon's web site, Avon.com. Avon Beauty
Centers, located in urban malls across the United States, are designed to
display an upscale beauty image, showcase the Company's beauty brands and
encourage customer trial of product. Avon Express Centers also provide easy
access to products and allow Representatives to fill orders immediately, rather
than waiting for campaign deliveries. In 2000, Avon intends to implement a more
integrated Internet strategy beginning with the U.S. to focus on improving
access and accelerating growth. These complementary access programs will
further increase Avon's brand awareness and drive its global beauty image.

     Access strategies also have helped reach new customers in the Pacific
Region. For example, the Philippines, India and Indonesia use decentralized
branches and satellite stores to serve Representatives and customers.
Representatives come to a branch near their homes to place


                                      -3-



and pick up product orders for their customers. The branches also create
visibility for Avon with consumers and help reinforce the Company's beauty
image. In Malaysia, Avon has 180 franchised beauty boutiques, which are staffed
by franchise Representatives and are located in areas with high concentrations
of Representatives. The boutiques provide more direct and personal service to
Representatives and their customers. Additionally, in China and Taiwan, beauty
counters managed by Avon Representatives are in retail store chains.

     The Company is exploring potential retail opportunities in the U.S.,
including a franchising opportunity for women who would own their own Avon
retail store or kiosk and a "store within a store" concept developed through a
joint venture with a major retailer.

Image Enhancement

     The Company continues to update the image of its core beauty products and
its portfolio of global beauty brands. In the past five years, CFT products
have all undergone extensive upgrades in packaging, imaging and formulations,
consistent with the global brand strategy. These contemporary products project
a consistent, high quality image in all markets and include brands such as
Anew, Skin-So-Soft, Avon Color, Far Away, Rare Gold, Millennia, Perceive,
Starring, Avon Skin Care and Women of Earth. Global brands are growing rapidly
as a percentage of the Company's worldwide CFT business and in 1999, they
accounted for 51% of core beauty sales. The Company plans on launching three
global hair care brands and launching a global jewelry and fashion accessories
line around the world. The development of global brands has also enabled the
Company to deliver a consistent beauty image around the world, as well as
improve margins through pricing and supply chain efficiencies. Avon is also
marketing a more vibrant beauty image through increased advertising and
image-building programs focused on the consumer. In 2000, the Company intends
to launch its first-ever global advertising campaign entitled "Let's Talk",
increase investments in product sampling and development and upgrade the
quality of its brochure to further build its worldwide beauty image.

     In 1998, an important image enhancement came with the opening of the Avon
Centre, a spa, salon and retail store located in Trump Tower, New York City.
The Avon Centre emphasizes health and beauty and offers a selection of Avon
beauty products created exclusively for use at the Avon Centre.

     Through these strategic initiatives designed to focus on high-
quality, affordable products, as well as convenience for the customer, Avon is
not only positioned for continued growth but also as a leading beauty company.

International Expansion

     Avon is one of the most widely recognized brand names in the world. The
Company is particularly well positioned to capitalize on growth in new
international markets due to high demand for quality products, underdeveloped
retail, infrastructures and relatively attractive earnings opportunities for
women. The Company presently has operations in 50


                                      -4-



countries outside the United States and its products are distributed in 86 more
for coverage in 137 markets, and it continues to expand into new markets. The
Company has entered 24 new markets since 1990, including Russia and China and
rapidly emerging nations throughout Central Europe, and is currently evaluating
several other markets in Eastern Europe and the Pacific region.

Distribution

     Avon's products are sold worldwide by approximately 3.0 million
Representatives, approximately 445,000 of whom are in the United States. Almost
all Representatives are women who sell on a part-time basis. Representatives
are independent contractors or independent dealers, and are not agents or
employees of Avon. Representatives purchase products directly from Avon and
sell them to their customers.

     The Company's products are sold to customers through a combination of
direct selling and marketing utilizing independent Representatives, Avon Beauty
Centers, Express Centers in urban areas, the mail, phone, fax or "on-line".
Representatives go where the customers are, both in the home and in the
workplace.

     In the United States, the Representative contacts customers, selling
primarily through the use of brochures which also highlight new products and
specially-priced items for each two-week sales campaign. Product samples,
demonstration products and selling aids such as make-up color charts are also
used. Generally, the Representative forwards an order every two weeks to a
designated distribution center. This order is processed and the products are
assembled at the distribution center and delivered to the Representative's
home, usually by a local delivery service. The Representative then delivers the
merchandise and collects payment from the customer for their own account.
Payment by the Representative to Avon is customarily made when the next order
is forwarded to the distribution center. The cost of merchandise to the
Representative varies according to the product category and/or to the total
order size for each two-week sales campaign and averages approximately 60
percent of the recommended selling price.

     Avon employs certain electronic order systems to increase Representative
support in the United States and allow them to run their business more
efficiently as well as to improve order processing accuracy. One of these
systems permits Representatives to submit add-on orders with a touch-tone
telephone, enabling them to augment orders already submitted by placing a phone
call. Another system, Avon's Personal Order Entry Terminal, permits the
top-producing Representatives in the United States to transmit orders
electronically by phone line, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

     The current Internet site, Avon.com, with nearly 400,000 visitors a month,
also sells a limited line of CFT products directly to consumers. In 2000, the
Company plans to launch a completely new Avon.com in the U.S., with
implementation in certain key markets within about one year of the U.S. launch.
The new online initiative will be available to all Representatives and offer a
complete line of Avon products 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no
geographic boundaries.


                                      -5-



     Outside the United States, each sales campaign is generally of a three or
four week duration. Although terms of payment and cost of merchandise to the
Representative vary from country to country, the basic method of direct selling
and marketing by Representatives is essentially the same as that used in the
United States, and substantially the same merchandising and promotional
techniques are utilized.

     The recruiting and training of Representatives are the primary
responsibilities of district managers. In the United States, each district
manager has responsibility for a market area covered by 225 to 300
Representatives. District managers are employees of Avon and are paid a salary
and a sales incentive based primarily on the increase over the prior year's
sales of Avon products by Representatives in their district. Personal contacts,
including recommendations from current Representatives and local advertising,
constitute the primary means of obtaining new Representatives. Because of the
high rate of turnover among Representatives, a characteristic of the
direct-selling method, recruiting and training of new Representatives are
continually necessary.

     From time to time, the question of the legal status of Representatives has
arisen, usually in regard to possible coverage under social benefit laws that
would require Avon (and in most instances, the Representatives) to make regular
contributions to social benefit funds. Although Avon has generally been able to
address these questions in a satisfactory manner, the matter has not been fully
resolved in all countries. If there should be a final determination adverse to
Avon in a country, the cost for future, and possibly past, contributions could
be so substantial in the context of the volume of business of Avon in that
country that it would have to consider discontinuing operations in that
country.

Promotion and Marketing

     Sales promotion and sales development activities are directed at assisting
the Representatives, through sales aids such as brochures, product samples and
demonstration products. In order to support the efforts of Representatives to
reach new customers, especially working women and other individuals who
frequently are not at home, specially designed sales aids, promotional pieces,
customer flyers and product and image enhancing media advertising are used. In
addition, Avon seeks to motivate its Representatives through the use of special
incentive programs that reward superior sales performance. Periodic sales
meetings with Representatives are conducted by the district managers. The
meetings are designed to keep Representatives abreast of product line changes,
explain sales techniques and provide recognition for sales performance.

     A number of merchandising techniques, including the introduction of new
products, the use of combination offers, the use of trial sizes and the
promotion of products packaged as gift items, are used. In general for each
sales campaign, a distinctive brochure is published, in which new products are
introduced and selected items are offered at special prices or are given
particular prominence in the brochure. CFT products are available each sales
campaign at consistently low prices, while maintaining introductory specials
and periodic sales on selected items for limited time periods.


                                      -6-



     From time to time, various regulations or laws have been proposed or
adopted that would, in general, restrict the frequency, duration or volume of
sales resulting from new product introductions, special prices or other special
price offers. The Company's pricing flexibility and broad product lines are
expected to be able to mitigate the effect of these regulations.

Competitive Conditions

     The CFT; gift and decorative; apparel; and fashion jewelry and accessory
industries are highly competitive. Avon is one of the leading manufacturers and
distributors of cosmetics and fragrances in the United States. Its principal
competitors are the large and well-known cosmetics and fragrances companies
that manufacture and sell broad product lines through various types of retail
establishments. There are many other companies that compete in particular
products or product lines sold through retail establishments.

     Avon has many competitors in the gift and decorative products and apparel
industries in the United States, including retail establishments, principally
department stores, gift shops and direct-mail companies, specializing in these
products.

     Avon is one of the leading distributors of fashion jewelry and accessories
for women in the United States. Its principal competition in the fashion
jewelry industry consists of a few large companies and many small companies
that manufacture and sell fashion jewelry for women through retail
establishments.

     The number of competitors and degree of competition that Avon faces in its
foreign CFT and fashion jewelry markets varies widely from country to country.
Avon is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors in the CFT industry
in most of its foreign markets, as well as in the fashion jewelry industry in
Europe.

         There are a number of direct-selling companies which sell product
lines similar to Avon's, some of which also have worldwide operations and
compete with Avon.

     Avon believes that the personalized customer service offered by its
Representatives; the high quality, attractive designs and reasonable prices of
its products; new product introductions; innovative CFT products; and its
guarantee of satisfaction are significant factors in establishing and
maintaining its competitive position.

International Operations

     Avon's international operations are subject to certain customary risks
inherent in carrying on business abroad, including the risk of adverse currency
fluctuations, currency remittance restrictions and unfavorable economic and
political conditions.

     Avon's international operations are conducted primarily through
subsidiaries in 50 countries and Avon's products are distributed in some 86
other countries.

Manufacturing

     Avon manufactures and packages almost all of its CFT products. Raw
materials, consisting chiefly of essential oils, chemicals, containers and
packaging components, are purchased from various suppliers. Packages,
consisting of containers and packaging components, are designed by its staff of
artists and designers.

     The design and development of new products are affected by the cost and
availability of materials such as glass, plastics and chemicals. Avon believes
that it can continue to obtain sufficient raw materials and supplies to
manufacture and produce its products.

     Avon has eighteen manufacturing laboratories around the world, one of
which is principally devoted to the manufacture of fashion jewelry. In the
United States, Avon's CFT products are produced in three manufacturing
laboratories for the four distribution centers and all Beauty and Express
centers. Most products sold in foreign countries are manufactured in Avon's
facilities abroad.

     The fashion jewelry line is generally developed by Avon's staff and
produced in its manufacturing laboratory in Puerto Rico or by several
independent manufacturers.


                                      -8-



Trademarks and Patents

     Avon's business is not materially dependent on third party patent or other
intellectual property rights and Avon is not a party to any material license,
franchise or concession. The Company, however, does seek to protect its key
proprietary technologies by aggressively pursuing comprehensive patent coverage
in all major markets.

     Avon's major trademarks are protected by registration in the United States
and the other countries where its products are marketed as well as in many
other countries throughout the world.

Contingencies

     Although Avon has completed its divestiture of all discontinued
operations, various lawsuits and claims (asserted and unasserted), are pending
or threatened against Avon. The Company is also involved in a number of
proceedings arising out of the federal Superfund law and similar state laws. In
some instances Avon, along with other companies, has been designated as a
potentially responsible party which may be liable for costs associated with
these various hazardous waste sites. In the opinion of Avon's management, based
on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of
resolving such contingencies should not have a material adverse impact on
Avon's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SEASONAL NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Avon's sales and earnings have a marked seasonal pattern characteristic of
many companies selling CFT; gift and decorative products; apparel; and fashion
jewelry. Christmas sales cause a sales peak in the fourth quarter of the year.
Fourth quarter net sales were 30 percent of total net sales in both 1999 and
1998, respectively, and before one-time charges, fourth quarter operating
profit was 36 percent and 37 percent of total operating profit in 1999 and
1998, respectively.

RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

     Avon's research and development department is a leader in the industry,
based on the number of new product launches, including formulating effective
beauty treatments relevant to women's needs. In addition, Avon's research and
development supports its environmental responsibilities.

     A team of researchers and technicians apply the disciplines of science to
the practical aspects of bringing products to market around the world.
Relationships with well known dermatologists and other specialists extend
Avon's own research to deliver new formulas and ingredients. Each year, Avon
researchers test and develop more than 600 products in the CFT and Beauty Plus
categories.

     Avon has pioneered many innovative products, including Skin-So-Soft, its
best-selling bath oil; BioAdvance, the first skin care product with stabilized
retinol, the purest form of Vitamin A; and Collagen Booster, the premier
product to capitalize on Vitamin C technology. Avon also


                                      -9-



introduced the benefits of aromatherapy to millions of American women,
encapsulated color for the Color-Release line and introduced alpha-hydroxy acid
for cosmetic use in the Anew Perfecting Complex products. Today, Avon's Anew
product line has been expanded to include technologically advanced products
such as Retinol Recovery Complex PM Treatment, Night Force Vertical Lifting
Complex, Clearly C 10% Vitamin C Serum and Luminosity Brightening Complex.
Night Force employs a patented material named AVC10, a molecule that was
engineered by Avon researchers over a three-year period. Luminosity Brightening
Complex contains Diamonex, Avon's exclusive skin brightening system. Avon has
introduced Hydra Finish Lip Color, the first lipstick developed with 20% water,
and Perceive, a fragrance which uses the mood-enhancing effects of pheromone
technology. In 2000, the Company will be launching a complete renovation of
Avon Color with improved formulas and redesigned packaging, rolling out a
reformulated Anew All-In-One skin care regimen and launching Positivity, a new
line of skin care products for menopausal women.

     The amounts incurred on research activities relating to the development of
new products and the improvement of existing products were $34.4 million in
1999, $31.4 million in 1998, and $29.9 million in 1997. This research included
the activities of product research and development and package design and
development. Most of these activities are related to the development of CFT
products.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     Pursuant to Avon's global environmental policy, environmental audits are
conducted to ensure Avon facilities around the world meet or exceed local
regulatory standards. A corporate environmental operations committee ensures
that opportunities for environmental performance improvements are reflected in
our products, packaging and manufacturing processes.

     In general, compliance with environmental regulations impacting Avon's
global operations has not had, and is not anticipated to have, any material
effect upon the capital expenditures, financial position or competitive
position of Avon.

EMPLOYEES

     At December 31, 1999, Avon employed 40,500 people. Of these, 8,800 were
employed in the United States and 31,700 in other countries. The number of
employees tends to rise from a low point in January to a high point in November
and decreases somewhat in December when Christmas shipments are completed.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     Avon's principal properties consist of manufacturing laboratories for the
production of CFT and fashion jewelry and distribution centers where offices
are located and where finished merchandise is warehoused and shipped to
Representatives in fulfillment of their orders. Substantially all of these
properties are owned by Avon or its subsidiaries, are in good repair,
adequately meet Avon's needs and operate at reasonable levels of productive
capacity.


                                      -10-



     The domestic manufacturing laboratories are located in Morton Grove, IL;
Springdale, OH; and Suffern, NY; the distribution centers are located in
Atlanta, GA; Glenview, IL; Newark, DE; and Pasadena, CA. Other properties
include four manufacturing laboratories and ten distribution centers in Europe;
five manufacturing laboratories and nine distribution centers in Latin America;
two manufacturing laboratories and three distribution centers in North America
(other than in the United States); and four manufacturing laboratories and ten
distribution centers in the Pacific region. The research and development
laboratories are located in Suffern, NY. Avon leases space for its executive
and administrative offices in New York City and its fashion jewelry
manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Various lawsuits and claims (asserted and unasserted), arising in the
ordinary course of business or related to businesses previously sold, are
pending or threatened against Avon.

     In 1991, a class action lawsuit was initiated against Avon on behalf of
certain classes of holders of Avon's Preferred Equity-Redemption Cumulative
Stock ("PERCS"). This lawsuit alleges various contract and securities law
claims relating to the PERCS (which were fully redeemed that year). Avon has
rejected the assertions in this case, believes it has meritorious defenses to
the claims and is vigorously contesting this lawsuit. It is anticipated that a
trial may take place later in 2000.

     In the opinion of Avon's management, based on its review of the
information available at this time, the total cost of resolving such
contingencies should not have a material adverse impact on Avon's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     Avon is involved in a number of proceedings arising out of the federal
Superfund law and similar state laws. In some instances Avon, along with other
companies, has been designated as a potentially responsible party which may be
liable for costs associated with these various hazardous waste sites. Based
upon Avon's current knowledge of the proceedings, management believes, without
taking into consideration any insurance recoveries, if any, that in the
aggregate they would not have a material adverse impact on Avon's consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the quarter
ended December 31, 1999.

     Officers are elected by the Board of Directors at its first meeting
following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Officers serve until the first
meeting of the Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
at which Directors are elected for the succeeding year, or until their
successors are elected, except in the event of death, resignation or removal,
or the earlier termination of the term of office.
