EXHIBIT 13. ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS - 2000 SUMMARY - ------- Income from continuing operations was $3.06 billion, or $2.79 per share, in 2000 and $2.55 billion, or $2.30 per share, in 1999. Comparisons between 2000 and 1999 are made difficult by the impact of several unusual items that are reflected in the company's operating results for both years. Excluding these unusual items, which are discussed further below, income from continuing operations for 2000 and 1999 would have been $2.90 billion, or $2.65 per share, and $2.52 billion, or $2.28 per share, respectively. This represents an increase in net income and earnings per share of 15 percent and 16 percent, respectively. The 2000 increases are attributed to growth in sales, improved gross margin, and increased interest income, offset by increases in operating expenses at a rate greater than sales growth. Earnings per share also benefited from a decrease in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchase plan. UNUSUAL ITEMS - ------------- As noted above, several unusual items are reflected in the company's operating results for 2000 and 1999. These transactions are summarized as follows (see Note 3, Note 5, and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information): - - A gain of $214.4 million on the sale of its interest in Kinetra LLC to WebMD Corporation (WebMD) and the subsequent sale of WebMD stock, which increased earnings per share by approximately $.20 in the first quarter of 2000 - - Approximately $91 million in additional product sales in 1999 as a result of year-2000-related wholesaler buying that normally would have been realized during the first quarter of 2000, which increased earnings per share by approximately $.06 in the fourth quarter of 1999 and reduced earnings per share by the same amount in the first quarter of 2000 - - A pretax gain of $110.0 million in settlement of litigation with Biochimica Opos S.p.A., which increased earnings per share by approximately $.06 in the fourth quarter of 1999 - - A pretax charge of $26.0 million associated with the decommissioning of manufacturing facilities and other site charges, which decreased earnings per share by approximately $.02 in the fourth quarter of 1999 - - A pretax gain of $67.8 million on the sale of U.S. and Puerto Rican Lorabid marketing rights, which increased earnings per share by approximately $.05 in the third quarter of 1999 - - A pretax charge of $150.0 million as the result of a contribution to Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, which decreased earnings per share by approximately $.09 in the first quarter of 1999 - - A pretax charge of $61.4 million associated with the impairment of certain manufacturing assets, which decreased earnings per share by approximately $.04 in the first quarter of 1999. SALES - ----- The company's reported worldwide sales for 2000 increased 9 percent, to $10.86 billion. Worldwide sales for 1999 included approximately $91 million of sales relating to year-2000 wholesaler buying that normally would have been recognized in 2000. Adjusting for the impact of year-2000 wholesaler buying, sales growth for 2000 would have been 10 percent. Sales growth was led by Zyprexa, a treatment for schizophrenia and related psychoses; diabetes care products; Evista, an osteoporosis treatment and prevention agent; and Gemzar, an oncolytic product. Sales in the U.S. increased 12 percent, to $7.00 billion. Sales outside the U.S. increased 2 percent, to $3.86 billion. Worldwide sales reflected volume growth of 11 percent, partially offset by a 2 percent decrease in exchange rates while prices remained flat. Page 1 Prozac and Sarafem had combined worldwide sales of $2.57 billion, representing a decrease of 2 percent. Sarafem, launched in the U.S. in August 2000 for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), had sales of $14.6 million in 2000. Combined sales of Prozac, an antidepressant, and Sarafem in the U.S. increased 7 percent, to $2.23 billion. The U.S. sales comparison benefited, in part, from wholesaler inventory reductions in 1999. Prozac sales outside the U.S. decreased 35 percent, to $341.0 million, primarily due to continuing generic competition in the U.K. On August 9, 2000, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a lower court decision upholding the company's February 2001 U.S. patent on Prozac but ruled that the company's December 2003 patent is invalid. Reference is made to the discussion of the Prozac patent litigation under "Legal and Environmental Matters." For additional information on the expected financial impact of the ruling, see the "Financial Expectations for 2001" section below. Zyprexa had worldwide sales of $2.35 billion in 2000, representing an increase of 25 percent. Sales in the U.S. increased 23 percent, to $1.69 billion. Sales in 2000 benefited from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Zyprexa for the treatment of acute mania associated with bipolar disorder in the first quarter of 2000. Sales outside the U.S. increased 28 percent, to $659.3 million. Gemzar had worldwide sales of $559.3 million in 2000, representing an increase of 23 percent. Sales in the U.S. increased 20 percent, to $315.9 million. Sales outside the U.S. increased 27 percent, to $243.3 million. Evista had worldwide sales of $521.5 million in 2000, representing an increase of 60 percent. Sales in the U.S. increased 52 percent, to $433.8 million. Increases in sales in the U.S. were due, in part, to the FDA approval of Evista for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in the U.S., which was granted in September 1999. Sales outside the U.S. increased 115 percent, to $87.7 million. ReoPro had worldwide sales of $418.1 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 7 percent. Sales in the U.S. decreased 12 percent, to $315.1 million. Sales outside the U.S. increased 15 percent, to $102.9 million. The decline in sales was due to increased competition in the U.S. Diabetes care products, composed primarily of Humulin, the company's biosynthetic human insulin; Humalog, the company's insulin analog; and Actos, an oral diabetes agent introduced in the U.S. in 1999, had worldwide revenues of $1.76 billion in 2000, representing an increase of 22 percent. Diabetes care revenues in the U.S. increased 21 percent, to $1.08 billion. Diabetes care revenues outside the U.S. increased 22 percent, to $685.8 million. Humulin had worldwide sales of $1.11 billion, representing an increase of 2 percent. Humulin sales in the U.S. decreased 6 percent, to $617.4 million, largely as a result of patients shifting to Humalog and Humalog mixture products. Humulin sales outside the U.S. increased 15 percent, to $497.0 million. Humalog had worldwide sales of $350.2 million, representing an increase of 56 percent. Sales of Humalog benefited from the U.S. launch of Humalog Mix75/25(TM) Pen in the first quarter of 2000. The company received service revenues of $223.0 million in 2000 relating to sales of Actos. Actos, an oral agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, was introduced to the U.S. diabetes market in the third quarter of 1999. Actos is manufactured and sold in the U.S. by Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd., and is copromoted by Takeda and the company. Anti-infectives had worldwide sales of $894.3 million in 2000, representing a decrease of 13 percent, due to continuing competitive pressures. Cefaclor and Lorabid accounted for the majority of the decline. Sales in the U.S. decreased 12 percent, to $189.4 million. Sales outside the U.S. decreased 13 percent, to $702.9 million. Animal health products had worldwide sales of $668.5 million in 2000, representing an increase of 6 percent. Sales in the U.S. increased 8 percent, to $307.5 million. Sales outside the U.S. increased 5 percent, to $360.9 million. The increases were balanced across the product line. The company's payments under federally mandated Medicaid rebate programs reduced 2000 sales by approximately $464.0 million compared with approximately $352.5 million in 1999. Page 2 GROSS MARGIN, COSTS, AND EXPENSES - --------------------------------- The 2000 gross margin improved to 81.1 percent of sales compared with 79.0 percent for 1999. This increase was attributed primarily to favorable changes in product mix due to growth in sales of newer products and, to a lesser extent, increased production volume. Operating expenses (the aggregate of research and development and marketing and administrative expenses) increased 16 percent in 2000. Research and development expenses increased 13 percent, to $2.02 billion, in 2000 as the company continued to invest in both the early and late stages of its internal product pipeline and external collaborations. Marketing and administrative expenses increased 17 percent primarily due to sales force expansions and increased marketing efforts to support the company's newer products. Net other income for 2000 was $267.9 million, an increase of $142.8 million, excluding the gain on the sale of Kinetra LLC in 2000 and the gains from the litigation settlement and the sale of Lorabid marketing rights and a charge for the contribution to Eli Lilly and Company Foundation in 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income. The company's effective tax rate for 2000 was 20.8 percent compared with 21.5 percent for 1999. Excluding the unusual items discussed previously, the effective tax rate for both 2000 and 1999 was 22.0 percent. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. OPERATING RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS - 1999 SUMMARY - ------- Income from continuing operations was $2.55 billion, or $2.30 per share, in 1999 and $2.10 billion, or $1.87 per share, in 1998 (before the 1998 extraordinary charge of $7.2 million, or $.01 per share). Comparisons between 1999 and 1998 are made difficult by the impact of several unusual items that are reflected in the company's operating results for both years. Excluding these unusual items, which are discussed further below, income from continuing operations before extraordinary item for 1999 and 1998 would have been $2.52 billion, or $2.28 per share, and $2.17 billion, or $1.94 per share, respectively. This represents an increase in net income and earnings per share of 16 percent and 18 percent, respectively. The 1999 increases are attributed to increased sales, improved gross margin, and increases in operating expenses at a rate less than sales growth. Earnings per share also benefited from a decrease in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the share repurchase plan. UNUSUAL ITEMS - ------------- As noted above, several unusual items are reflected in the company's operating results for 1999 and 1998. The unusual items relating to 1999 are summarized under Operating Results From Continuing Operations - 2000. During 1998, the company recognized a pretax charge of $127.5 million for acquired in-process technology associated with a collaboration with ICOS Corporation, which reduced earnings per share by approximately $.07 net of tax. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. SALES - ----- The company's reported worldwide sales for 1999 increased 8 percent, to $10.0 billion. Approximately $91 million of worldwide sales were related to year-2000 wholesaler buying. Sales growth was led by Zyprexa, Evista, Gemzar, diabetes care products, and ReoPro. Sales in the U.S. were $6.23 billion, a 7 percent increase, while sales outside the U.S. were $3.77 billion, an 11 percent increase. Worldwide sales reflected volume growth of 9 percent and a 1 percent increase in prices, partially offset by a 2 percent decrease in exchange rates. Worldwide sales of Prozac in 1999 were $2.61 billion, representing a decrease of 7 percent. Approximately $12 million of worldwide Prozac sales were related to year-2000 wholesaler buying. Prozac sales in the Page 3 U.S. decreased 8 percent, to $2.09 billion. Sales of Prozac outside the U.S. decreased 3 percent, to $525.1 million. The decline in U.S. sales was largely caused by wholesaler stocking that occurred during 1998, creating a significant adverse impact on sales comparisons in 1999. Prozac sales in the U.S. were also adversely affected by increased competition from new antidepressants. Zyprexa posted worldwide sales of $1.89 billion in 1999, representing an increase of 31 percent. Approximately $17 million of worldwide Zyprexa sales were related to year-2000 wholesaler buying. U.S. sales of Zyprexa increased 22 percent, to $1.37 billion. Sales outside the U.S. increased 62 percent, to $513.9 million. Worldwide Gemzar sales of $455.8 million in 1999 reflected an increase of 49 percent. Sales in the U.S. increased 57 percent, to $264.2 million, and sales outside the U.S. increased 38 percent, to $191.6 million. Worldwide ReoPro sales of $447.3 million in 1999 reflected an increase of 22 percent. U.S. sales of ReoPro increased 18 percent, to $357.5 million. ReoPro sales outside the U.S. increased 43 percent, to $89.8 million. Worldwide diabetes care revenues, composed of Humulin, Humalog, Iletin, and Actos, increased 19 percent, to $1.38 billion, in 1999. Approximately $23 million of worldwide diabetes care revenues were related to year-2000 wholesaler buying. Diabetes care revenue in the U.S. increased 18 percent, to $827.7 million. Diabetes care revenue outside the U.S. increased 21 percent, to $547.5 million. Worldwide Humulin sales increased 13 percent, to $1.09 billion. U.S. Humulin sales increased 12 percent and Humulin sales outside the U.S. increased 15 percent. Worldwide Humalog sales were $224.5 million, representing an increase of 73 percent. The company received service revenues of $37.9 million in 1999 relating to sales of Actos. Worldwide sales of anti-infectives decreased 12 percent in 1999, to $1.02 billion, as a result of continuing competitive pressures. U.S. and international anti-infectives sales declined 22 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Cefaclor and Lorabid accounted for the majority of the decline in anti-infectives sales, offsetting growth in Vancocin outside the U.S. Evista sales increased $182.0 million, or 126 percent, to $326.1 million in 1999. Evista was launched in the first quarter of 1998 in the U.S. for the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. During 1999, the company received approval from the FDA to promote Evista for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. While most of the sales dollar growth for Evista occurred in the U.S., international Evista sales reflected strong percentage growth. Worldwide sales of animal health products of $627.8 million in 1999 reflected a 2 percent increase. Sales were flat in the U.S. and increased 4 percent outside the U.S. The company's payments under federally mandated Medicaid rebate programs reduced 1999 sales by approximately $352.5 million compared with approximately $278.6 million in 1998. GROSS MARGIN, COSTS, AND EXPENSES - --------------------------------- The 1999 gross margin improved to 79.0 percent of sales compared with 78.2 percent for 1998. This increase was attributed primarily to production efficiencies and, to a lesser extent, favorable changes in product mix, as well as the expiration of Humulin and Humalog royalties in August 1998. Operating expenses (the aggregate of research and development and marketing and administrative expenses) increased 3 percent in 1999. Research and development investments increased 3 percent, to $1.78 billion, in 1999 as the company continued to build internal and external capabilities. Reduced incentive compensation significantly offset the expense growth. In addition, Phase III clinical trials for certain compounds were discontinued in the first half of 1999, which contributed to the reduction in the growth rate. Marketing and administrative expenses increased 4 percent due to increased spending to support new product launches around the world and enhancements in the company's global information technology systems, including year-2000 readiness efforts. However, the impact of these increases was mitigated by expense management initiatives and reduced incentive compensation. Page 4 Excluding the gains from the litigation settlement, the sale of Lorabid marketing rights, and the charge for the contribution to Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, net other income for 1999 was $125.1 million, which represents a decrease of $24.2 million. Other income in 1998 benefited from gains generated from the sale of investments. The company's effective tax rate for 1999 was 21.5 percent compared with 21.3 percent for 1998. Excluding the unusual items discussed previously, the effective tax rates for 1999 and 1998 were 22.0 percent and 22.2 percent, respectively. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Discontinued operations consist of the company's PCS health-care-management business. In November 1998, the company entered into an agreement to sell PCS for $1.60 billion in cash. The sale was closed in January 1999 and the resulting net gain on disposal of $174.3 million, net of $8.7 million tax benefit, was recognized in the first quarter of 1999. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further information. FINANCIAL CONDITION As of December 31, 2000, cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled approximately $4.62 billion compared with $3.84 billion at December 31, 1999. The increase in cash was primarily due to cash generated from operations, partially offset by dividends paid, share repurchases, and capital expenditures. The company acquired approximately 14.8 million shares, for approximately $1.09 billion, during 2000 pursuant to its previously announced $3 billion share repurchase program. Total debt at December 31, 2000, was $2.82 billion, a decrease of $235.4 million. The company believes that cash generated from operations, along with available cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund essentially all the company's operating needs, including debt service, capital expenditures, and dividends in 2001. The company believes that amounts available through existing commercial paper programs should be adequate to fund maturities of short-term borrowings. The company's commercial paper program is also backed by $2.02 billion of committed bank credit facilities. In the normal course of business, operations of the company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing, investing, and operating. The company addresses a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings of fluctuations in interest rates. All derivative activities are for purposes other than trading. The company's primary interest rate risk exposure results from changes in short- term U.S. dollar interest rates. In an effort to manage interest rate exposures, the company strives to achieve an acceptable balance between fixed and floating rate debt positions and may enter into interest rate swaps to help maintain that balance. Based on the company's overall interest rate exposure at December 31, 2000, including derivatives and other interest rate risk sensitive instruments, a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates applied to the fair value of the instruments as of December 31, 2000, would have no material impact on earnings, cash flows, or fair values of interest rate risk sensitive instruments over a one-year period. Similarly, a hypothetical 10 percent change in interest rates from 1999 applied to the fair value of the instruments as of December 31, 1999, would have had no material impact on earnings, cash flows, or fair values of interest rate risk sensitive instruments during 2000. Capital expenditures of $677.9 million during 2000 were $149.6 million more than in 1999 as the company continued to invest in manufacturing and research and development initiatives and related infrastructure. The company expects near- term capital expenditures to increase from 2000 levels. Sufficient cash flows exist to meet these near-term requirements. Dividends of $1.04 per share were paid in 2000, an increase of 13 percent from the $.92 per share paid in 1999. In the fourth quarter of 2000, effective for the first-quarter dividend in 2001, the quarterly dividend Page 5 was increased to $.28 per share (8 percent), resulting in an indicated annual rate for 2001 of $1.12 per share. The year 2000 was the 116th consecutive year in which the company made dividend payments and the 33rd consecutive year in which dividends have been increased. EURO CONVERSION On January 1, 1999, 11 European nations adopted a common currency, the euro, and formed the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). For a three-year transition period, both the euro and individual participants' currencies will remain in circulation. After July 1, 2002, at the latest, the euro will be the sole legal tender for EMU countries. Greece has joined the original 11 countries adopting the euro in 2002. The adoption of the euro affects a multitude of financial systems and business applications as the commerce of these nations is transacted in the euro and the existing national currency. The company has created the capability to transact in both the euro and the legacy currency and has converted the underlying information systems within the EMU countries from the legacy currencies to the euro. The company will continue to address euro-related issues and their impact on information systems, currency exchange rate risk, taxation, contracts, competition, and pricing. Action plans currently being implemented are expected to result in compliance with all laws and regulations; however, there can be no certainty that such plans will be successfully implemented or that external factors will not have an adverse effect on the company's operations. Any costs of compliance associated with the adoption of the euro are expensed as incurred and the company does not expect these costs to be material to its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. FINANCIAL EXPECTATIONS FOR 2001 As noted above, a federal appeals court has upheld the company's February 2001 U.S. Prozac patent but ruled that the 2003 patent is invalid. In addition, the FDA has granted the company an additional six months of market exclusivity for Prozac under a federal statute encouraging pediatric studies of certain medicines, extending market exclusivity for Prozac to August 2, 2001, assuming the 2003 Prozac patent ruling is not overturned. The company expects a very substantial decline in Prozac sales in the U.S. in the 12 months following the entry of generic fluoxetine in the U.S. market. Prozac sales in the U.S. represent a significant portion of the company's overall sales, accounting for approximately 20 percent of the company's consolidated worldwide sales in 2000. As a result of the above, excluding any unusual items, the company anticipates earnings per share for 2001 to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.85, assuming the entry of generic fluoxetine in the U.S. in August 2001. Strong earnings growth in the first half of 2001 is expected to more than offset declines in the second half, resulting in single-digit earnings growth for the full year compared with 2000 earnings per share of $2.65, excluding unusual items. In addition, excluding any unusual items, the company expects to post single- digit sales growth in 2001. Excluding worldwide sales of Prozac, the company expects sales to grow in the mid-teens for 2001. Several key products are expected to contribute to this growth, including Zyprexa; Evista; Gemzar; diabetes care products; and drotrecogin alfa (activated), also known by the proposed trade name Zovant, a therapy for sepsis, which was submitted for regulatory approval in early 2001 and is expected to launch in the second half of 2001. The growth in these products is anticipated to more than offset the very substantial expected decline of Prozac sales and continuing decreases in sales of anti-infectives and ReoPro. Gross margins as a percent of sales are expected to decline in 2001 in the range of .5 to 1.0 percentage points as a result of the decline in Prozac sales. The company anticipates marketing and administrative expenses will grow in the low- to-mid single digits. Underlying marketing expenses for continuing products, excluding Prozac, are expected to grow in the double digits as the company continues to invest in sales force expansions and increased marketing efforts. Research and development expenses are expected to grow in the low double digits, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to invest in scientific innovation. The tax rate is expected to remain at approximately 22 percent for the full year. Page 6 The company believes that the loss of Prozac market exclusivity will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. The actual impact will depend on, among other things, the outcome of the appeal of the Federal Circuit ruling; the timing, number of entrants, and pricing strategies of generic competitors; the continuing growth of the company's other currently marketed products; developments with competitive products; the timing of regulatory approvals; and the expected introduction of new products. LEGAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Barr Laboratories, Inc. (Barr), and Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Geneva), have each submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market generic forms of Prozac before the expiration of the company's patents. The ANDAs assert that two U.S. patents held by Lilly covering Prozac are invalid and unenforceable. The company filed suit against Barr and Geneva in federal court in Indianapolis seeking a ruling that Barr's challenge to Lilly's patents is without merit. In January 1999, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Lilly on two of the four claims raised by Barr and Geneva against Lilly's patents. That decision was appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Barr and Geneva dismissed their other two claims in exchange for a $4 million payment. On August 9, 2000, the Court of Appeals upheld the 2001 compound patent but held that the 2003 method of use patent was invalid. The company has filed a petition requesting a rehearing by the Court of Appeals. Several other generic manufacturers have also filed ANDAs for generic forms of Prozac, challenging one or both of the patents. In late 1998, Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (Teva); and Cheminor Drugs, Ltd., together with one of its subsidiaries (Cheminor), notified the company that they had filed ANDAs challenging the 2003 patent. Also in 1998, Novex Pharma, a division of Apotex, Inc., notified the company that it had filed an ANDA challenging both patents. In 1999, Cheminor notified the company that it had filed an ANDA for a different dosage form. In 2000, Barr and Teva both notified the company that they had filed additional ANDAs for the different dosage form, and Alphapharm Pty. Ltd. also notified the company that it had filed ANDAs for two dosage forms. The company has filed lawsuits in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana seeking rulings that all these challenges to the patent(s) are without merit. The cases are awaiting resolution of the petition for rehearing by the Court of Appeals in the original Barr case. For additional information on the impact of the Prozac patent litigation, see the "Financial Expectations for 2001" section above. In addition, the company is a defendant in numerous product liability suits involving primarily two products, diethylstilbestrol (DES) and Prozac. See Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on those matters. The company's worldwide operations are subject to complex and changing environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, which will continue to require capital investment and operational expenses. The company has also been designated a potentially responsible party with respect to fewer than 10 sites under the federal environmental law commonly known as Superfund. For more information on those matters, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the patent, product liability, or other legal actions brought against the company or the ultimate cost of environmental matters, the company believes that, except as noted above with respect to the Prozac patent litigation, the costs associated with all such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity but could possibly be material to the consolidated results of operations in any one accounting period. Page 7 OTHER MATTERS On October 28, 2000, President Clinton signed the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2001. This legislation includes a provision that repeals the federal ban on the reimportation of most prescription drugs by anyone other than the manufacturer. Consequently, under the new law, wholesalers and pharmacists may be permitted to reimport certain drugs approved for sale in the U.S. and originally sold abroad, subject to several conditions. The law authorizes reimportation from select jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, and Switzerland. Before the law takes effect, the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) must "demonstrate" to Congress that the law poses no additional risk to public health and safety and will result in significant reductions in drug costs for American consumers. If HHS can make that demonstration, then the FDA must draft regulations prior to implementing the law. In December 2000, the secretary of HHS stated that she would be unable to make the demonstration required by the law. It is uncertain what action, if any, may be taken on this bill by the incoming secretary of HHS or whether Congress will modify the legislation. The company cannot predict at this time the extent to which it will be affected by this legislation or potential future legislative or regulatory developments in this area. However, if widespread reimportation of the company's products were to occur, this could have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations. PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 - - A CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements or projections made by the company, including those made in this document, are based on management's expectations at the time they are made, but they are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

The largest category of products is the neurosciences group, which includes Prozac, Zyprexa, Permax, and Darvon. Endocrinology products consist primarily of Humulin, Evista, Humalog, Humatrope, and Actos. Anti-infectives include primarily Ceclor, Vancocin, Keflex, Nebcin, and Lorabid. Cardiovascular products consist primarily of ReoPro and Dobutrex. The gastrointestinal category is entirely composed of Axid. Oncology products consist primarily of Gemzar. Animal health products include Tylan, Rumensin, Micotil, Surmax, Coban, and other products for livestock and poultry. The other pharmaceutical product group includes other miscellaneous pharmaceutical products and services. Most of the pharmaceutical products are distributed through wholesalers that serve physicians and other health care professionals, pharmacies, and hospitals. In 2000, the company's three largest wholesalers each accounted for between 14 percent and 18 percent of consolidated net sales. Animal health products are sold primarily to wholesale distributors. The company's business segments are distinguished by the ultimate end user of the product: humans or animals. Performance is evaluated based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the individual segments are substantially the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Income before taxes for the animal health business was approximately $180.0 million, $165.0 million, and $141.0 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The assets of the animal health business are intermixed with those of the pharmaceutical products Page 14 business and are not separately determinable. Long-lived assets disclosed above consist of property and equipment and certain sundry assets of the continuing operations. The company is exposed to the risk of changes in social, political, and economic conditions inherent in foreign operations, and the company's results of operations and the value of its foreign assets are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Page 18 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ELILILLY AND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (Dollars in millions, except per-share data) Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation: The accounts of all wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All per-share amounts, unless otherwise noted in the footnotes, are presented on a diluted basis, that is, based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares and the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares (primarily unexercised stock options). Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform with current-year presentation. Cash equivalents: The company considers all highly liquid investments, generally with a maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. The cost of these investments approximates fair value. Inventories: The company states all its inventories at the lower of cost or market. The company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for substantially all its inventories located in the continental United States, or approximately 60 percent of its total inventories. Other inventories are valued by the first- in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories at December 31 consisted of the following: 2000 1999 ----------------------- Finished products................................ $284.3 $295.1 Work in process.................................. 380.6 372.7 Raw materials and supplies....................... 230.1 224.7 ----------------------- 895.0 892.5 Increase (decrease) to LIFO cost................. (11.9) 7.1 ----------------------- $883.1 $899.6 ======================= Investments: All short-term debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity because the company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Substantially all long-term debt and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are computed based upon initial cost adjusted for any other than temporary declines in fair value. The company owns no investments that are considered to be trading securities. Derivative financial instruments: The company's derivative activities, all of which are for purposes other than trading, are initiated within the guidelines of documented corporate risk-management policies and do not create additional risk because gains and losses on derivative contracts offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. As derivative contracts are initiated, the company designates the instruments individually as hedges of underlying financial instruments or anticipated transactions (i.e., underlying exposures). Management reviews the correlation and effectiveness of its derivatives on a periodic basis. Derivative contracts that do not qualify for deferral hedge accounting are marked to market. Page 19 For terminations of derivatives receiving deferral accounting, gains and losses are deferred when the related underlying exposures remain outstanding and are included in the measurement of the related transaction or balance. In addition, upon termination of the underlying exposures, the derivative is marked to market and the resulting gain or loss is included with the gain or loss on the related transaction. The company may redesignate the remaining derivative instruments as hedges of other underlying exposures. The company enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating currency exchange rates (principally the Japanese yen and the euro). Generally, foreign currency derivatives used for hedging are put in place using the same or like currencies and duration as the underlying exposures. Forward contracts are principally used to manage exposures arising from affiliate foreign currency balances. These contracts are marked to market with gains and losses recognized currently in income to offset the respective losses and gains recognized on the underlying exposures. The company also enters into purchased option contracts to hedge anticipated foreign currency transactions, primarily intercompany inventory activities expected to occur within the next year, and foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge firm commitments. The contracts are designated and effective as hedges of those future transactions. Gains and losses on these contracts that qualify as hedges are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the subsequent transaction when it occurs. Forward and option contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months. The company also enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposures. The company designates the interest rate swaps as hedges of the underlying debt. Interest expense on the debt is adjusted to include the payments made or received under the swap agreements. Goodwill and other intangibles: Goodwill and other intangibles arising from acquisitions and research alliances are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5-25 years, using the straight-line method. Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed to assess recoverability when impairment indicators are present. Assets are considered to be impaired and are written down to fair value if expected future operating cash flows of the related assets are less than their carrying amounts. Fair value is the present value of the expected future cash flows of the related assets using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows for purposes of impairment testing. Goodwill and other intangibles and the related allowances for amortization were $233.2 million and $117.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2000, and $226.2 million and $107.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999, and are included in sundry assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Property and equipment: Property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Provisions for depreciation of buildings and equipment are computed generally by the straight-line method at rates based on their estimated useful lives (generally 12 to 50 years for buildings and 5 to 18 years for equipment). At December 31, property and equipment consisted of the following: 2000 1999 ---------------------- Land................................................. $ 103.5 $ 104.6 Buildings............................................ 2,395.1 2,255.8 Equipment............................................ 4,638.5 4,458.9 Construction in progress............................. 647.6 528.0 ---------------------- 7,784.7 7,347.3 Less allowances for depreciation..................... 3,608.1 3,365.8 ---------------------- $4,176.6 $3,981.5 ====================== Depreciation expense related to continuing operations for 2000, 1999, and 1998 was $393.5 million, $406.7 million, and $393.4 million, respectively. Approximately $43.1 million, $29.0 million, and $17.0 million of interest costs were capitalized as part of property and equipment in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Total rental expense for all leases related to continuing operations, including contingent rentals (not material), amounted to approximately $172.3 million for 2000, $154.9 million for 1999, and $134.8 million for 1998. Capital leases included in property and equipment in the consolidated balance Page 20 sheets, capital lease obligations entered into, and future minimum rental commitments are not material. Revenue recognition: Revenue from sales of products is recognized at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. This is generally at the time products are shipped to the customer. Revenue from copromotion services is recognized at the time the copromotion partner records sales. Income taxes: Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting based on enacted tax laws and rates. Federal income taxes are provided on the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States and be taxable. Earnings per share: Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares and incremental shares. Diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other incremental shares. Note 2: Implementation of New Financial Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued. Statement 133 was amended in June 1999 and is now required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000. The company will adopt Statement 133 effective as of January 1, 2001. The statement will require the company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, the amount by which the change in the value of a hedge does not exactly offset the change in the value of the hedged item, will be immediately recognized in earnings. The company estimates that the adoption of Statement 133 will not have a material effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the company. Note 3: Collaboration and Dispositions During the first quarter of 2000, the company sold its interest in Kinetra LLC, a joint venture between the company and EDS, to WebMD Corporation (WebMD) in exchange for shares of WebMD common stock. A gain of $214.4 million was recognized on the combined effect of the transaction and the subsequent sale of the majority of those shares of WebMD stock. The gain is included in other income in the consolidated statements of income. During 1999, the company recognized a pretax gain of $67.8 million on the sale of the U.S. and Puerto Rican marketing rights of Lorabid, an antibiotic used in the treatment of bacterial infections, to King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The gain has been included in other income in the consolidated statements of income. The company has an opportunity to receive additional payments if certain sales performance milestones are achieved. During 1998, the company announced a collaboration with ICOS Corporation to jointly develop and globally commercialize a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor as an oral therapeutic agent for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. The compound was in the development phase (Phase II clinical trials) and no alternative future uses were identified. As with many Phase II compounds, launch of the product, if successful, was not expected in the near term. The company's payments to acquire rights to this compound were required to be charged as an expense of $127.5 million. Page 21 Note 4: Discontinued Operations In January 1999, the company sold PCS, its health-care-management subsidiary, to Rite Aid Corporation for $1.6 billion in cash. The transaction generated a gain of $174.3 million ($.16 per share), net of $8.7 million tax benefit, in the first quarter of 1999. The results of operations of PCS have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of income. Selected 1998 income statement information for PCS follows: Revenues........................................................ $814.5 Income tax expense.............................................. 32.2 Income from discontinued operations............................. 8.8 Note 5: Asset Impairment and Other Site Charges The company recognized two separate asset impairments and other site charges totaling $87.4 million in 1999 ($61.4 million and $26.0 million in the first and fourth quarters, respectively). The impairment charges were necessary to adjust the carrying value of certain manufacturing assets to fair value. The major portion of the charges ($75.0 million) related to the decommissioning of manufacturing buildings and the related equipment, which resulted from the consolidation of certain manufacturing processes. The company plans to continue ownership of the vacated buildings although no planned future uses have been identified. The fair values of the facilities were estimated based upon anticipated future cash flows, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Note 6: Financial Instruments Risk-Management Instruments and Off-Balance-Sheet Risk In the normal course of business, operations of the company are exposed to fluctuations in currency values and interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing, investing, and operating. The company addresses a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. The notional amounts of derivatives summarized in the following paragraphs do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and thus are not a measure of the exposure of the company through its use of derivatives. The company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. At December 31, the stated, or notional, amounts of the company's outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows: 2000 1999 ------------------ Forward exchange contracts............................. $1,384.9 $608.7 Foreign currency options - purchased................... 639.8 756.0 Interest rate swaps.................................... 445.0 295.0 Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables and interest-bearing investments. Wholesale distributors of life-sciences products and managed care organizations account for a substantial portion of trade receivables; collateral is generally not required. The risk associated with this concentration is mitigated by the company's ongoing credit review procedures. The company places substantially all its interest-bearing investments with major financial institutions, in U.S. government securities, or with top-rated corporate issuers. In accordance with documented corporate policies, the company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Page 22 Fair Value of Financial Instruments A summary of the company's outstanding financial instruments at December 31 follows. As summarized, "cost" relates to investments while "carrying amount" relates to long-term debt. 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Cost/ Cost/ Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value -------------------------------------------------------------------- Short-term investments: Debt securities............................ $ 503.3 $ 504.3 $ 135.6 $ 136.0 Noncurrent investments: Marketable equity.......................... 79.8 90.1 63.9 96.8 Debt securities............................ 266.2 271.2 35.6 35.6 Nonmarketable equity....................... 7.5 7.5 14.9 14.9 Long-term debt, including current portion............................. 2,796.6 2,861.7 3,026.7 2,990.6 The company determines fair values based on quoted market values where available or discounted cash flow analyses (principally long-term debt). The fair values of nonmarketable equity securities, which represent either equity investments in start-up technology companies or partnerships that invest in start-up technology companies, are estimated based on the fair value information provided by these ventures. The fair value and carrying amount of risk-management instruments were not material at December 31, 2000 and 1999. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the gross unrealized holding gains on available- for-sale securities were $24.3 million and $42.5 million, respectively, and the gross unrealized holding losses were $14.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Substantially all these gains and losses are associated with the marketable equity securities. The proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities totaled $773.8 million, $56.2 million, and $36.3 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Purchases of available-for-sale securities totaled $443.0 million in 2000 and were not material in 1999 and 1998. Realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities were $71.6 million, $25.0 million, and $20.6 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities were $16.5 million, negligible, and $2.5 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The net adjustment to unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities decreased other comprehensive income by $12.3 million in 2000 and increased other comprehensive income by $18.6 million in 1999. Note 7: Borrowings Long-term debt at December 31 consisted of the following: 2000 1999 ---------------------- 6.57 to 7.13 percent notes (due 2016-2036)............ $1,000.0 $1,000.0 6.25 to 8.38 percent notes (due 2001-2006)............ 650.0 650.0 Floating rate capital securities (due 2029)........... 525.0 525.0 8.38 percent eurodollar bonds (due 2005).............. 150.0 350.0 Resettable coupon capital securities (due 2029)....... 300.0 300.0 6.55 percent ESOP debentures (due 2017)............... 97.6 98.6 Other, including capitalized leases................... 74.0 103.1 ---------------------- 2,796.6 3,026.7 Less current portion.................................. 162.9 214.8 ---------------------- $2,633.7 $2,811.9 ====================== On August 5, 1999, the company issued $525.0 million floating rate capital securities and $300.0 million adjustable rate capital securities. These capital securities are subordinated to the notes, bonds, and debentures listed above. The floating rate capital securities pay cumulative interest at an annual rate Page 23 equal to LIBOR plus a predetermined spread, reset quarterly. The rates at December 31, 2000 and 1999, were 7.951 percent and 7.355 percent, respectively. The securities may be redeemed any time on or after August 5, 2004, for a defined redemption price. The resettable coupon capital securities pay cumulative interest at an annual rate of 7.717 percent until August 1, 2004. At this date and every fifth anniversary thereafter, the interest rate will be reset equal to the weekly average interest rate of U.S. treasury securities having an index maturity of five years for the week immediately preceding the reset date plus a predetermined spread. The securities may be redeemed on August 1, 2004, and anytime thereafter for a defined redemption price. The 6.55 percent Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) debentures are obligations of the ESOP but are shown on the consolidated balance sheet because they are guaranteed by the company. The principal and interest on the debt are funded by contributions from the company and by dividends received on certain shares held by the ESOP. Because of the amortizing feature of the ESOP debt, bondholders will receive both interest and principal payments each quarter. These debentures replaced other ESOP debentures pursuant to a refinancing in March 1998. An extraordinary charge of $7.2 million, net of a $4.8 million income tax benefit, was recorded as a result of this refinancing. The aggregate amounts of maturities on long-term debt for the next five years are as follows: 2001, $162.9 million; 2002, $13.5 million; 2003, $212.0 million; 2004, $8.8 million; and 2005, $157.9 million. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, short-term borrowings included $21.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, of notes payable to banks. At December 31, 2000, unused committed lines of credit totaled approximately $2.01 billion. Compensating balances and commitment fees are not material, and there are no conditions that are probable of occurring under which the lines may be withdrawn. Cash payments of interest on borrowings totaled $195.9 million, $170.6 million, and $188.2 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Note 8: Stock Plans Stock options are granted to employees at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the company's stock at the dates of grant. Generally, options vest 100 percent three years from the grant date and have a term of 10 years. Performance awards are granted to officers and key employees and are payable in shares of the company's common stock. The number of performance award shares actually issued varies depending upon the achievement of certain earnings targets. In general, performance awards vest 100 percent at the end of the second fiscal year following the grant date. In 1999, the company issued its third grant under the GlobalShares program. Essentially all employees were given an option to buy 100 shares of the company's stock at a price equal to the fair market value of the company's stock on the date of the grant. Options to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares were granted as part of the program. Individual grants generally become exercisable on or after the third anniversary of the grant date and have a term of 10 years. The company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options and performance awards. Under APB No. 25, because the exercise price of the company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. Total compensation expense for stock-based performance awards reflected in income on a pretax basis was $88.3 million, $117.1 million, and $257.8 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. However, SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires presentation of pro forma information as if the company had accounted for its employee stock options and performance awards granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, under the fair value method of that statement. For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options and performance awards at the date of the grant is amortized to expense over the vesting period. Under the fair value method, the company's net income and earnings per share would have been as follows: Page 24 2000 1999 1998 --------------------------------------- Net income............................... $2,969.3 $2,639.6 $2,120.9 Earnings per share - diluted............. 2.70 2.39 1.89 The weighted-average per-share fair value of the individual options and performance awards granted during 2000, 1999, and 1998 were as follows on the date of grant: 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------------- Employee stock options..................... $29.25 $20.27 $16.64 Performance awards......................... 93.06 66.50 88.88 The fair values of the options were determined using a Black-Scholes option- pricing model with the following assumptions: 2000 1999 1998 ----------------------------------- Dividend yield............................. 2.26% 2.73% 2.96% Volatility................................. 32.7 % 25.2 % 23.5 % Risk-free interest rate.................... 5.02% 6.15% 4.29% Forfeiture rate............................ 0 0 0 Expected life.............................. 7 years 7 years 7 years Stock option activity during 1998-2000 is summarized below: Shares of Common Stock Weighted-Average Attributable to Options Exercise (in thousands) Price of Options ---------------------------------------------------- Unexercised at January 1, 1998................ 60,894 $24.05 Granted....................................... 6,803 74.18 Exercised.....................................

Page 25 As noted above, the number of shares ultimately issued pursuant to the performance award program is dependent upon the earnings achieved during the vesting period. Pursuant to this plan, approximately 1.2 million shares, 2.2 million shares, and 1.5 million shares were issued in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. At December 31, 2000, plan participants had the right to receive up to 4.1 million additional shares (reduced to the extent necessary to satisfy payroll tax withholdings), contingent upon earnings achieved. At December 31, 2000, additional options, performance awards, or restricted stock grants may be granted under the 1998 Lilly Stock Plan and the Lilly GlobalShares Stock Plan for not more than 32.8 million shares and 7.9 million shares, respectively.

A $1.5 billion share repurchase program was completed in 1999. The company acquired approximately 14.8 million and 19.1 million shares in 2000 and 1999, respectively, pursuant to these programs. In connection with the share repurchase program, the company has entered into agreements to purchase shares of the company's stock. As of December 31, 2000, the company has agreements to purchase up to approximately 4.0 million shares of company stock from an independent third party at various times through the expiration of the agreements in December 2002, at prices ranging from $83 to $100 per share. The number of shares to be purchased will be reduced ratably each quarter through the expiration of the agreements. In addition, as of December 31, 2000, written equity put options, purchased call options, and other derivative contracts, which provide for purchase of a total of approximately 4.6 million shares, remain outstanding at prices ranging from $69 to $98 per share with expiration dates ranging from February 2001 to November 2002. If the options are exercised, the contracts allow the company, at its option, to repurchase the shares for cash or deliver to the holder cash or shares for the difference between the contractual exercise price and the market price of the company's stock. The company's objective with the above agreements is to reduce the average price of repurchased shares. During the second quarter of 2000, the company funded an employee benefit trust with 40 million shares of Lilly common stock to provide a source of funds to assist the company in meeting its obligations under various employee benefit plans. The funding had no net impact on shareholders' equity as the employee benefit trust is consolidated with the company. The cost basis of the shares held in the trust was $2.64 billion and is shown as a reduction in shareholders' equity, which offsets the resulting increases of $2.61 billion in additional paid-in capital and $25 million in common stock. Any dividend transactions between the company and the trust are eliminated. Stock held by the trust is not considered outstanding in the computation of earnings per share. The company has an ESOP as a funding vehicle for the existing employee savings plan. The ESOP used the proceeds of a loan from the company to purchase shares of common stock from the treasury. The ESOP issued $200 million of third-party debt, repayment of which was guaranteed by the company (see Note 7). The proceeds were used to purchase shares of the company's common stock on the open market. Shares of common stock held by the ESOP will be allocated to participating employees annually through 2017 as part of the company's savings plan contribution. The fair value of shares allocated each period is recognized as compensation expense. Under a Shareholder Rights Plan adopted by the company's board of directors in 1998, all shareholders receive along with each common share owned a preferred stock purchase right entitling them to purchase from the company one one- thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at a price of $325. The rights are not exercisable until after the "Distribution Date," which is generally the 10th business day after the date of a public announcement that a person (the "Acquiring Person") has acquired ownership of 15 percent or more of the company's common stock. The company may redeem the rights for $.005 per right up to and including the Distribution Date. The rights will expire on July 28, 2008, unless redeemed earlier by the company. The plan provides that, if an Acquiring Person acquires 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock of the company and the company's redemption right has expired, generally each holder of a right (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to purchase at the exercise price the number of shares of common stock of the company as have a value of two times the exercise price. Page 27 Alternatively, if, in a transaction not approved by the board of directors, the company is acquired in a business combination transaction or sells 50 percent or more of its assets or earning power after a Distribution Date, generally each holder of a right (other than the Acquiring Person) will have the right to purchase at the exercise price the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company as have a value of two times the exercise price. At any time after an Acquiring Person has acquired 15 percent or more but less than 50 percent of the company's outstanding common stock, the board of directors may exchange the rights (other than those owned by the Acquiring Person) for company common stock or Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio of one common share (or one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock) per right.

The company also has tax credit carryforwards of $734.5 million available to reduce future income taxes: $495.1 million will expire within five years and $183.2 million thereafter; $56.2 million of the tax credit carryforwards will never expire. As discussed in Note 4, the company sold its PCS health-care-management subsidiary in January 1999. As a consequence of the sale, the company recorded a deferred tax asset of $655.3 million for the tax Page 29 capital loss that resulted from this transaction. A portion of this loss carryforward has been used; the remainder can be carried forward four more years. A valuation allowance was established for this asset due to the uncertain realization of the benefit. Domestic and Puerto Rican companies contributed approximately 56 percent, 56 percent, and 60 percent in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes and extraordinary item. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have been, or are intended to be, permanently reinvested for continued use in foreign operations and that, if distributed, would result in taxes at approximately the U.S. statutory rate aggregated $5.2 billion at December 31, 2000. Cash payments of income taxes totaled $294.0 million, $252.0 million, and $273.0 million in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Following is a reconciliation of the effective income tax rate applicable to income from continuing operations: 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------- United States federal statutory tax rate......... 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Add (deduct): International operations, including Puerto Rico...................................

For participants over age 65, the rate was assumed to increase 6.0 percent in 2001 and thereafter. The projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation, and fair value of the plan assets for the defined benefit pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets were $736.8 million, $616.8 million, and $381.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2000, and $637.1 million, $539.0 million, and $364.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 1999. Net pension and retiree health benefit expense included the following components related to continuing operations: Page 31 Defined Benefit Retiree Health Pension Plans Benefits 2000 1999 1998 2000 1999 1998 -------------------------------------------------------- Components of net periodic benefit cost: Service cost........................... $ 130.1 $ 127.7 $ 112.9 $ 23.2 $ 16.8 $ 12.8 Interest cost.......................... 219.6 193.7 184.2 49.6 41.5 34.3 Expected return on plan assets...............................

If these trend rates were to be increased by one percentage point each future year, the December 31, 2000, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation would increase by 13 percent and the aggregate of the service cost and interest cost components of 2000 annual expense would increase by 15 percent. A one-percentage-point decrease in these rates would decrease the December 31, 2000, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by 12 percent and the aggregate of the 2000 service cost and interest cost by 13 percent. The company has defined contribution savings plans that cover its eligible employees worldwide. The purpose of these defined contribution plans is generally to provide additional financial security during retirement by providing employees with an incentive to make regular savings. Company contributions to the plan are based on employee contributions and the level of company match. Expenses under the plans related to continuing operations totaled $65.2 million, $56.4 million, and $50.3 million for the years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The company provides certain other postemployment benefits primarily related to disability benefits and accrues for the related cost over the service lives of the employees. Expenses associated with these benefit plans in 2000, 1999, and 1998 were not significant. Note 13: Contingencies Barr Laboratories, Inc. (Barr), and Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Geneva), have each submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) seeking FDA approval to market generic forms of Prozac before the expiration of the company's patents. The ANDAs assert that two U.S. patents held by Lilly covering Prozac are invalid and unenforceable. The company filed suit against Barr and Geneva in federal court in Indianapolis seeking a ruling that Barr's challenge to Lilly's patents is without merit. In January 1999, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Lilly on two of the four claims raised by Barr and Geneva against Lilly's patents. That decision was appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Barr and Geneva dismissed their other two claims in exchange for a $4 million payment. On August 9, 2000, the Court of Appeals upheld the 2001 compound patent but held that the 2003 method of use patent was invalid. The company has filed a petition requesting a rehearing by the Court of Appeals. Several other generic manufacturers have also filed ANDAs for generic forms of Prozac, challenging one or both of the patents. In late 1998, Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Teva Pharmaceuticals USA (Teva); and Cheminor Drugs, Ltd., together with one of its subsidiaries (Cheminor), notified the company that they had filed ANDAs challenging the 2003 patent. Also in 1998, Novex Pharma, a division of Apotex, Inc., notified the company that it had filed an ANDA challenging both patents. In 1999, Cheminor notified the company that it had filed an ANDA for a different dosage form. In 2000, Barr and Teva both notified the company that they had filed additional ANDAs for the different dosage form, and Alphapharm Pty. Ltd. also notified the company that it had filed ANDAs for two dosage forms. Page 32 The company has filed lawsuits in the United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana seeking rulings that all these challenges to the patent(s) are without merit. The cases are awaiting resolution of the petition for rehearing by the Court of Appeals in the original Barr case. Assuming the Prozac patent ruling is not overturned, the company expects a very substantial decline in Prozac sales in the U.S. in the 12 months following the entry of generic fluoxetine in the U.S. market in August 2001. Prozac sales in the U.S. represent a significant portion of the company's overall sales, accounting for approximately 20 percent of the company's consolidated worldwide sales in 2000. The company believes that the Prozac patent litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. The company has been named as a defendant in numerous product liability lawsuits involving primarily two products, diethylstilbestrol (DES) and Prozac. The company has accrued for its estimated exposure with respect to all current product liability claims. In addition, the company has accrued for certain claims incurred, but not filed, to the extent the company can formulate a reasonable estimate of their costs. The company's estimates of these expenses are based primarily on historical claims experience and data regarding product usage. The company expects the cash amounts related to the accruals to be paid out over the next several years. The majority of costs associated with defending and disposing of these suits are covered by insurance. The company's estimate of insurance recoverables is based on existing deductibles, coverage limits, and the existing and projected future level of insolvencies among its insurance carriers. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, the company has been designated as one of several potentially responsible parties with respect to fewer than 10 sites. Under Superfund, each responsible party may be jointly and severally liable for the entire amount of the cleanup. The company also continues remediation of certain of its own sites. The company has accrued for estimated Superfund cleanup costs, remediation, and certain other environmental matters, taking into account, as applicable, available information regarding site conditions, potential cleanup methods, estimated costs, and the extent to which other parties can be expected to contribute to payment of those costs. The company has reached a settlement with its primary liability insurance carrier and certain excess carriers providing for coverage for certain environmental liabilities. Litigation seeking coverage from certain other excess carriers is ongoing. The environmental liabilities and litigation accruals have been reflected in the company's consolidated balance sheet at the gross amount of approximately $138.9 million at December 31, 2000. Estimated insurance recoverables of approximately $74.1 million at December 31, 2000, have been reflected as assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The company recognized a pretax gain of $110.0 million as a result of a cash payment received in settlement of litigation with Biochimica Opos S.p.A. relating to the manufacture, sale, or distribution of cefaclor and certain other products made by Biochimica Opos S.p.A. The gain, which was recorded in other income, increased earnings per share by approximately $.06 in the fourth quarter of 1999. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the patent, product liability, or other legal actions brought against the company or the ultimate cost of environmental matters, the company believes that, except as noted above with respect to the Prozac patent litigation, the costs associated with all such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity but could possibly be material to the consolidated results of operations in any one accounting period. Page 33 Note 14: Other Comprehensive Income The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income were as follows: Minimum Accumulated Foreign Unrealized Pension Other Currency Gains (Losses) Liability Comprehensive Translation on Securities Adjustment Income ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning balance at January 1, 2000.................... $(375.6) $ 20.1 $(50.9) $(406.4) Other comprehensive income (loss)...................... (170.7) (12.3) (21.8) (204.8) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2000.................. $(546.3) $ 7.8 $(72.7) $(611.2) ===================================================================== The amounts above are net of income taxes. The income taxes related to other comprehensive income were not significant as income taxes were generally not provided for foreign currency translation. The unrealized gains (losses) on securities is net of reclassification adjustments of $43.9 million, $8.5 million, and $4.8 million, net of tax, in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, for realized gains and losses on sales of securities included in net income. Generally, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. For those operations, changes in exchange rates generally do not affect cash flows; therefore, resulting translation adjustments are made to shareholders' equity rather than to income. Page 34 Responsibility for Financial Statements Eli Lilly and Company and Subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared by management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on judgments and estimates by management. The other financial information in this annual report is consistent with that in the financial statements. The company maintains internal accounting control systems that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and are properly recorded, and that accounting records are adequate for preparation of financial statements and other financial information. The design, monitoring, and revision of internal accounting control systems involve, among other things, management's judgments with respect to the relative cost and expected benefits of specific control measures. A staff of internal auditors regularly monitors, on a worldwide basis, the adequacy and effectiveness of internal accounting controls. In addition to the system of internal accounting controls, the company maintains guidelines of company policy emphasizing proper overall business conduct, possible conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and confidentiality of proprietary information. The guidelines are reviewed on a periodic basis with employees worldwide. The financial statements have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors. Their responsibility is to examine the company's financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to express their opinion with respect to the fairness of presentation of the statements. The members of the audit committee of the board of directors, none of whom are employees of the company, recommend independent auditors for appointment by the board of directors, review the services performed by the independent auditors, and receive and review the reports submitted by them. The audit committee meets several times during the year with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors to discuss audit activities, internal controls, and financial reporting matters. The internal auditors and the independent auditors have full and free access to the committee. Sidney Taurel Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Golden Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer January 29, 2001 Page 35 Report of Independent Auditors Board of Directors and Shareholders Eli Lilly and Company We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eli Lilly and Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and comprehensive income for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 consolidated financial position of Eli Lilly and Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
