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 nine
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have not been audited but, in the
opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring 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") which was accounted for as a pooling of interests.
All historical financial information has been restated to include First
Brands.  The results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the annual
results for the respective years.

2) Inventories at March 31, 2000 and at June 30, 1999 consisted of:

                                        3/31/00          6/30/99
                                      ---------        ---------

Finished goods and work in process    $    283         $    220
Raw materials and supplies                 119               99
                                      ---------        ---------
Total                                 $    402         $    319
                                      =========        =========

Inventory of certain First Brands' products were written down to their
net realizable value, and cost of products sold includes a corresponding
charge of $4 and $8 for the nine month periods ending March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively.


3) International acquisitions since June 30, 1999 totaled $101 and were
accounted for as purchases.  These acquisitions included a cleaning
utensil business in Colombia, Venezuela and Peru, 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.
The acquisitions were funded using a combination of cash and debt.


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 shares
used in calculating diluted EPS as follows (in thousands):

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 March 31, 2000, a total of 3,123,000 shares were
acquired at a cost of $125.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Results of Operations


Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.44 from $0.09 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 and increased to $1.12 from $0.82 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000.  Net earnings increased to $106 million from $22
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and increased to $269 million
from $196 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  Improved
earnings were principally due to a reduction in merger, restructuring
and asset impairment costs.  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 third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 4% to $1,034
million mostly due to the results achieved from the Company's household
products and U.S. specialty products segments.  The increase in the
household products segment's net sales was mostly achieved from the
introduction of new products such as Liquid-Plumr Foaming Pipe Snake,
Clorox Disinfecting Spray and Wipes, Ultra Clorox liquid bleach and Clorox
FreshCare fabric refresher and dry clean products.  Partially offsetting
this increase were lower shipments of Tilex and Pine-Sol products and
higher promotional spending to support new products.  The U.S. specialty
products segment's net sales results were favorably impacted by record
shipments of Hidden Valley dressings and the introduction of K C Masterpiece
marinades.

Net sales for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2000 increased 1% to
$2,930 million primarily due to the Company's household products segment's
increase of 2% in sales over the year ago period.  Contributing to this
increase were new product launches and the full year results of the Handi
Wipes business acquired in the prior year. Higher promotional spending to
support new products and lower shipments of Tilex Fresh Shower, due to
higher volumes in the prior year during its launch, partially offset this
increase.  The U.S. specialty products and international segments' sales
performance also added $2 million to the Company's increase in net sales.
The increase in U.S. specialty products segment's net sales was due to new
product launches, higher charcoal shipments driven by both continued
category consumption growth and a strong presence in warehouse clubs, and
higher shipments from Hidden Valley bottled dressings. These increases were
partially offset by the negative impact of prior year First Brands
inefficient trade-promotional practices, which the Company is continuing to
eliminate.  The increase in the international segment's sales growth was
driven by higher shipments and acquisitions that were partially offset by
currency devaluations and higher promotional spending.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of sales increased to 48.9% from
47.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and increased to 49.4% from
47.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  These increases were
primarily due to higher resin costs and start-up costs associated with
the introduction of Ultra Clorox liquid bleach and other new products.
Additionally, cost of products sold includes a charge of $4 million and
$8 million at March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, respectively, for the
write down of certain First Brands inventories.  These increases were
somewhat offset by cost savings initiatives throughout the Company's domestic
and international business units.

Selling, delivery and administrative expenses decreased 3% to $190
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and decreased 4% to $564
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  These decreases were
achieved mostly from continued benefits from combining the former First
Brands businesses with Clorox, savings from lower commission expense
primarily due to the consolidation of the Company's broker network, the
consolidation of the Company's logistics network and the integration of
the sales force in Latin America.

Advertising expense decreased to $119 million from $124 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and decreased to $345 million from $361
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000. The savings were
primarily due to changing certain First Brands couponing practices and
to the consolidation of advertising agencies.  Higher media spending
to support the introduction of new products and former First Brands
businesses partially offset these savings.

Merger, integration, restructuring and asset impairment for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2000 primarily reflect costs associated
with the closure of First Brands distribution centers and relocation and
retention bonuses paid to former First Brands employees.  Additionally,
$2 million of asset impairment losses were recognized in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 for the write-down of property, plant and equipment related
to the Company's fire logs business.

Results of Operations


Interest expense increased to $25 million from $23 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and decreased to $71 million from $75
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2000.  The increase for
the three-month period primarily reflects rising interest rates and
an increase in borrowings in the third quarter to fund acquisitions,
seasonal inventory builds and share repurchases.  The decrease for
the nine-month period was due to the refinancing of former First Brands
debt at lower interest rates made possible by Clorox's more favorable
credit rating and the termination of the First Brands trade receivables
financing program, partly offset by rising interest rates and an
increase in borrowings.

Other expense, net decreased to $1 million from $10 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 primarily due to higher interest and royalty
incomes, prior year costs associated with the termination of debt, and
losses on the disposal of assets incurred in the prior year.

Income tax expense as a percent of pretax earnings decreased to 36% from
58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and decreased to 36% from 40%
for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 principally due to non-deductible
merger related costs recorded in the prior year three and nine month
periods.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)
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
flow provided by operations during the year.  Receivables have increased
from June 30, 1999 partly due to the Company's strategic focus on
expanding the business in Latin America as well as domestic sales growth.
The increase in inventories reflects seasonality and inventory builds
resulting from new product launches.  Increases in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities result from timing of promotional spending and
inventory purchases.

International acquisitions since June 30, 1999 totaled $101 million and
were funded using a combination of cash and debt.  These acquisitions
included a cleaning utensil business in Colombia, Venezuela and Peru,
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.

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 nine-month
period ended March 31, 2000, a total of 3,123,000 shares were acquired
at a cost of $125 million.

On September 15, 1999, the Company settled 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.
