Independent Auditors Report | | |
Certified Public Accountants | ||
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Pfizer Inc: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Pfizer Inc and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pfizer Inc and subsidiary companies at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. New York, NY February 26, 1998 |
