The Clorox Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In millions, except share and per-share amounts)


1) The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six
months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 has not been audited but, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring and merger related accruals) necessary for a fair presentation
of the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows of The Clorox Company and its subsidiaries (the "Company").  The
Company's results reflect the January 29, 1999 merger with First Brands
Corporation ("First Brands").  The merger was accounted for as a pooling
of interests and all historical financial information has been restated
to include First Brands.  The results for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998 should not be considered as necessarily
indicative of the annual results for the respective years.


2) Inventories at December 31, 1999 and at June 30, 1999 consisted of:

                                         12/31/99       6/30/99

3) International acquisitions since June 30, 1999 totaled $31 and were
funded using a combination of cash and debt.  These acquisitions
included an increase in ownership to 100% in Tecnoclor, S.A. in Colombia
(previously 72% owned and fully consolidated) and a rubber glove business
purchased in Australia.


4) Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding each period.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the diluted weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable
through stock options, restricted stock, warrants and other convertible
securities.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator)
used to calculate basic EPS is reconciled to those used in calculating diluted
EPS as follows (in thousands):


                          Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding

8) In September 1999, in response to declines in the Company's stock price in
 the first quarter, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock
 repurchase and hedging program intended to reduce or eliminate dilution
 when shares are issued in accordance with the Company's various stock
 compensation plans.  The Company had canceled a prior share repurchase
 and hedging program (previously authorized in September 1996 by the
 Board of Directors to offset the dilutive effects of
employee stock exercises) when it merged with First Brands.  From
 inception of the new program through December 31, 1999, a total
 of 1,123,000 shares were acquired at a cost of $51.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Results of Operations


Diluted earnings per share increased 3% to 32 cents and decreased 7% to 68
cents for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.
Net earnings increased 3% to $76 million and decreased 6% to $163 million
for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.  The
Company's results reflect the January 29, 1999 merger with First Brands
Corporation ("First Brands").  The merger was accounted for as a pooling of
interests and all historical financial information has been restated to
include First Brands.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 1% to $954 million
mostly due to the results achieved from the Company's household products
and international segments partially offset by lower net sales from the
Company's U.S. specialty products segment.  The increase in household
product's net sales resulted mostly from the introduction of new products,
such as Clorox Disinfecting Spray, Liquid-Plumr Foaming Pipe Snake, and
Clorox FreshCare fabric refresher, partially offset by lower shipments of
Brita water filtration systems driven by lower demand for pour-through
pitchers, and a decrease in shipments of Clorox liquid bleach and Clorox 2
bleach.  International net sales increases reflected higher shipments due
to an increase in market share in the Brazilian bleach market and growth
in Australia and New Zealand partly attributable to the acquisition of a
rubber glove business in Australia; such increases were partially offset
by currency devaluations experienced by some of the Company's Latin
American businesses.  The U.S. specialty products segment's net sales
decreased mostly due to the discontinuation of First Brands prior year
promotional activities partially offset by higher shipments of charcoal
products due to an extended season, and higher shipments of Hidden Valley
bottled dressings resulting from strong demand for club-size products.

Net sales for the six month period ended December 31, 1999 decreased 1% to
$1,896 million mostly due to the discontinuation of prior year First
Brands promotional activities, lower shipments of Tilex Fresh Shower due
to higher volumes in the prior year during its launch, an increase in
international promotional spending during the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
and currency devaluations experienced by some of the Company's Latin
American businesses.  Partially offsetting these decreases were higher
shipments from new product launches, the full year results of the Handi
Wipes business acquired in the prior year, higher charcoal shipments and
international growth.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales increased to 50.1% from
48.5% and increased to 49.6% from 48.0% for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1999, respectively.  These increases were mostly due to
higher resin prices, somewhat offset by cost savings initiatives throughout
the Company's domestic and international business units.

Selling, delivery, and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $192 million
and decreased 5% to $374 million for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1999, respectively, mostly from continued benefits from
combining the former First Brands businesses with Clorox.  These decreases
reflect a savings from lower commission expense primarily due to the
consolidation of the Company's broker network.

Advertising expense decreased 10% to $110 million and decreased 5% to
$226 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively, mostly due to savings resulting from changing certain of
First Brands couponing practices.  These savings are partially offset
by higher media spending to support former First Brands' businesses and
the introduction of new products.

Merger, integration and restructuring for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 primarily reflect relocation expenses and retention
bonuses paid to former First Brands employees and costs associated
with the closure of First Brands distribution centers.  The Company
expects to incur approximately an additional $14 million over the
remainder of the fiscal year and such costs will be expensed as merger,
integration and restructuring costs as incurred.

Interest expense decreased to $23 million from $25 million and decreased
to $46 million from $53 million for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1999, respectively.  The decreases are mostly due to the
refinancing of former First Brands debt at lower interest rates made
possible by Clorox's more favorable credit rating.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's financial position and liquidity remain strong due to cash
provided by operations during the quarter.  Normal seasonal variations
experienced by the Company's seasonal businesses and higher shipment
volumes recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 were the primary
drivers causing reductions in receivables and accrued liabilities and
the increase in inventories.

International acquisitions since June 30, 1999 totaled $31 million and
were funded using a combination of cash and debt.  These acquisitions
included an increase in ownership to 100% (from 72%) in Tecnoclor, S.A.
in Colombia and a rubber glove business purchased in Australia.

In September 1999, in response to declines in the Company's stock price
in the first quarter, the Board of Directors authorized a common stock
repurchase and hedging program intended to reduce or eliminate dilution
when shares are issued in accordance with the Company's various stock
compensation plans.  The Company had canceled a prior share repurchase
and hedging program (previously authorized in September 1996 by the
Board of Directors to offset the dilutive effects of employee stock
exercises) when it merged with First Brands.  During the six month period
ended December 31, 1999, a total of 1,123,000 shares were acquired at
a cost of $51 million.

On September 15, 1999, the Company settled prior share repurchase
agreements and options contracts realizing cash proceeds of
approximately $82 million.  On the same day, the Company entered
into two new share repurchase transactions whereby the Company
contracted for future delivery of 2,260,000 shares on September 15, 2002
and 2,260,000 shares on September 15, 2004, each for a strike price of
$43 per share.  In November 1999, the Company entered into an agreement
to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares on December 1, 2003 at a
price of $46.32 per share.

On November 17, 1999, the stockholders approved an amendment of the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized
capital of the Company to consist of 750,000,000 shares of Common
Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, each with a par
value of $1.00 per share.

Management believes the Company has access to sufficient capital
through existing lines of credit and, should the need arise, from
other public and private sources.


Year 2000 Compliance


In 1997, the Company established a comprehensive corporate-wide
program to address what is commonly referred to as the "Year 2000"
or "Y2K" problem. This effort encompassed software, hardware,
electronic data interchange, networks, personal computers,
manufacturing and other facilities, embedded chips, century
certification, supplier and customer readiness, contingency planning
and domestic and international operations. Following the Company's
January 29, 1999 merger with First Brands, the Company incorporated
First Brands (since renamed The Glad Products Company) and its
subsidiaries into the Company's comprehensive Y2K compliance program.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company completed all of its Y2K
compliance efforts on all of its critical domestic and international
business systems, through retirement, upgrades or replacements, its
critical plant floor equipment, instrumentation and facilities, and
its third party assessment for all of its operations.   The Company
developed written contingency plans for its critical operations and
third party relationships, including key customers, suppliers and
other service providers.  The Company did not implement any of its
contingency plans because it did not experience any material Y2K related
issues with the arrival of the new millennium.

Y2K costs were expensed as incurred and funded through operating cash
flows. Through December 31, 1999, the Company has expensed incremental
remediation costs of $20 million and accelerated strategic upgrade
costs of $20 million.  The Company spent approximately 6.4% of its 1999
fiscal year information technology budget on Y2K remediation issues. The
Company has not deferred any critical information technology projects
because of its Year 2000 program efforts, which were primarily addressed
through a joint team of the Company's business and information technology
resources.
