MATCHED SAVINGS SHARE PURCHASE PLAN





INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustees of the Procter & Gamble Limited Matched Savings Share Purchase
Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Procter & Gamble Limited Matched Savings Share Purchase Plan ("the Plan")
as of June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended
June 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan'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 of America. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of June 30, 2002
and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002, 2001 AND 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble Limited Matched
      Savings Share Purchase Plan ("Plan") is provided for general information
      purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
      complete information.

      GENERAL - The Plan is a share purchase plan established by Procter &
      Gamble Limited ("Company") to provide a means for eligible UK employees to
      tax efficiently purchase shares in The Procter & Gamble Company
      ("Parent"). The scheme administrators on behalf of the Trustees of the
      Plan hold the Plan assets.

      CONTRIBUTIONS- Employees can contribute up to 2.5% of the their
      salary/wage, subject to a minimum monthly contribution of (pound)8.33. The
      participating Procter & Gamble companies (see note 7) match all
      contributions by employees in full.

      WITHDRAWALS - Participants may withdraw shares from the scheme at any time
      subject to the following Plan rules. Participants cannot withdraw shares
      from the Plan within 5 years of purchase. Participants who withdraw shares
      from the Plan after 5 years can do so without attracting any income tax.

      ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by Capita IRG Trustees Limited
      who were appointed by the Trustees of the Plan.

      PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with an
      allocation of the Plan's shares. The benefit to which a participant is
      entitled is limited to the shares that can be provided from the
      participant's account.

      PLAN TERMINATION - The Company is reviewing the future of the Plan in line
      with recent Inland Revenue legislative changes. The current Approved
      Profit Sharing Plan (the Procter & Gamble Limited Matched Savings Share
      Purchase Plan) can no longer be operated subsequent to October 2002. This
      Plan will be replaced by a more tax efficient plan, which meets the
      requirements of the rules of the Inland Revenue's All Employee Share
      Ownership Plans. The Company has the right under the current scheme rules
      to terminate the Plan.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements have been
      prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and
      transactions are recorded at fair value. The Plan's investment in the
      Company common stock is valued at fair value and is translated into
      Sterling at the rate of exchange at June 30.

      EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Investment management expenses and all other fees
      and expenses are paid by the participating Procter & Gamble companies (see
      note 7).

      USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
      the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
      Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The plan invests in The Procter & Gamble Company common stock. Investment
      securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest
      rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk
      associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible
      that changes in values of investment securities will occur in the near
      term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in
      the statements of net assets available for plan benefits.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

      THE J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY COMMON STOCK - In May of 2002, the Jif peanut
      butter and Crisco shortening brands were spun-off to the Company's
      shareholders and subsequently merged into The J.M. Smucker Company
      ("Smucker"). As a result of the spin-off, participants holding common
      stock received one share of Smucker stock for each fifty shares of Company
      common stock. The cost basis of the Company common stock prior to the
      Smuckers spin-off was allocated between the Company common stock held and
      the Smucker common stock received. Participants have the option of selling
      the Smucker common stock but are not permitted to purchase additional
      shares of Smucker common stock.

3.    TAX STATUS

      The Inland Revenue (IR) has determined and informed the Company that it is
      an approved Employee Share Scheme under UK tax legislation. Therefore, the
      Plan Administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as
      of June 30, 2002 and 2001 and no provision for income taxes has been
      reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

4.    DISTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE

      Distributions payable to participants at June 30, 2002 and 2001, are
      approximately (pound)63,730 and (pound)47,080, respectively.

5.    COMPANY STOCK

      At June 30, 2002 and 2001, 959,467 and 933,749 shares, respectively, of
      Procter & Gamble Company stock were held by the Plan. The cost of this
      stock at June 30, 2002 and 2001, was (pound)29,889,650 and
      (pound)29,057,426, respectively.

      At June 30, 2002 and 2001, 19,211 and nil shares, respectively, of Smucker
      common stock were held by the Plan. The cost of this stock at June 30,
      2002 and 2001, was (pound)413,405 and (pound)nil, respectively.

6.    ACCRUED ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Included within accrued administrative expenses are amounts owed to
      participating Procter & Gamble companies of(pound)10,568 (2001:
      (pound)30,531), amounts due to members of(pound)nil (2001:(pound)10,223)
      and amounts due to Procter & Gamble Share Investment Scheme
      of(pound)14,661 (2001:(pound)14,661).

7.    PARTICIPATING PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANIES

      The participating Procter & Gamble companies are as follows:

      Procter & Gamble UK
      Procter & Gamble Limited
      Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals UK Limited
      Procter & Gamble Product Supply (UK) Limited
      Procter & Gamble Technical Centres Limited
      Procter & Gamble (L&CP) Limited
      Procter & Gamble (Health & Beauty Care) Limited

8.    CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

      During March of 2000, a class action lawsuit was filed against The Procter
      & Gamble Company by shareholders of common stock. The class was certified
      on October 29, 2001 by the United States District Court for the Southern
      District of Ohio, Western Division (the "Court"), and a settlement of
      $49,000,000 has been approved. The Plan joined the class of plaintiffs
      during March of 2002. Once the allocation of the settlement is determined
      and approved by the Court, the plan will receive its portion of the
      settlement to allocate to participant accounts.


      THE PLAN. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934, the trustees (or other persons who administer the employee benefit
      plan) have duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by
      the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Newcastle upon
      Tyne United Kindgom, on October 3, 2002.
