SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS
- -----------------------------------------

In  general, Bristol-Myers Squibb purchases the principal raw materials and
supplies  used  in each industry segment in the open market.  Substantially
all such materials are obtainable from a number of sources so that the loss
of any one source of supply would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company.


PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
- --------------------------------

The  Company  owns or is licensed under a number of patents in  the  United
States  and  foreign  countries  covering  products,  principally  in   the
medicines  and medical devices segments, and has also developed many  brand
names  and  trademarks for products in each industry segment.  The  Company
considers  the  overall  protection of its patent,  trademark  and  license
rights  to  be  of  material value and acts to protect  these  rights  from
infringement. In the years 2000 and 2001 exclusivity periods are  scheduled
to  expire  or  have  expired for GLUCOPHAGE, BUSPAR*  and  certain  TAXOL*
claims.  The  Company  believes that no single  patent  or  license  is  of
material importance in relation to the business as a whole.


COMPETITION, DISTRIBUTION AND CUSTOMERS
- ---------------------------------------

The  markets  in  which Bristol-Myers Squibb competes are generally  broad-
based  and highly competitive. The principal means of competition  utilized
to  market  the products of Bristol-Myers Squibb include quality,  service,
price and product performance. The pharmaceutical products of the Medicines
segment and the products of the Medical Devices segment are promoted  on  a
national  and international basis in medical journals and directly  to  the
medical  profession.  The  Company  is  also  utilizing  direct-to-consumer
advertising for a number of its pharmaceutical products. Most of the  other
products of Bristol-Myers Squibb are generally advertised and promoted on a
national  and  international basis through the use  of  television,  radio,
print  media,  consumer offers, and window and in-store displays.  Bristol-
Myers  Squibb's products are principally sold to the wholesale  and  retail
trade  both  nationally  and  internationally.  Certain  products  of   the
Medicines  and  Medical  Devices segments  are  also  sold  to  other  drug
manufacturers, hospitals and the medical profession. None of  the  segments
is dependent upon a single customer, or a few customers, such that the loss
of any one or more would have a material adverse effect on the segment.

                                        5


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
- ------------------------

Research and development is essential to Bristol-Myers Squibb's businesses,
particularly   to  the  Medicines  Segment.  Pharmaceutical  research   and
development  is  carried  out  by the Bristol-Myers  Squibb  Pharmaceutical
Research  Institute which has major facilities in Princeton,  Hopewell  and
New  Brunswick,  New  Jersey; and Wallingford, Connecticut.  Pharmaceutical
research and development is also carried out at various other facilities in
the  United  States and in Belgium, Canada, France, Italy, Japan,  and  the
United  Kingdom.  Management continues to emphasize leadership,  innovation
and productivity as strategies for success in the Research Institute.

Bristol-Myers Squibb spent $1,843 million in 1999, $1,577 million  in  1998
and  $1,385  million in 1997 on Company sponsored research and  development
activities.  Pharmaceutical  research  and  development  spending,   as   a
percentage of pharmaceutical sales, was 12.6% in 1999 compared to 12.4%  in
1998 and 12.0% in 1997.

- ----------

Most  aspects  of  the Company's business are subject  to  some  degree  of
government  regulation  in  the  countries  in  which  its  operations  are
conducted.  The  Company's policy is to comply fully  with  all  regulatory
requirements  applying to its products and operations. For  some  products,
and  in  some  countries,  government regulation  is  significant  and,  in
general, there is a trend to more stringent regulation. The Company devotes
significant  time, effort and expense addressing the extensive governmental
regulatory   requirements   applicable  to  its   business.    Governmental
regulatory  actions  can  result  in the recall  or  seizure  of  products,
suspension  or revocation of the authority necessary for the production  or
sale of a product, and other civil and criminal sanctions.

In  the  United  States,  the drug, medical device,  diagnostic,  food  and
cosmetic industries in which the Company operates have long been subject to
regulation  by various federal, state and local agencies, primarily  as  to
product manufacture, safety, efficacy, advertising and labeling.

In  addition,  governmental bodies in the United States as  well  as  other
countries  have expressed concern about costs relating to health care  and,
in  some  cases,  have focused attention on the pricing  of  drugs  and  on
appropriate drug utilization. Government regulation in these areas  already
exists  in  some countries and may be expanded significantly in the  United
States and other countries in the future.

While the Company is unable to predict the extent to which its business may
be  affected  by  future  regulatory developments,  it  believes  that  its
substantial  experience  dealing with governmental regulatory  requirements
and restrictions on its operations throughout the world and its development
of new and improved products should enable it to compete effectively within
this environment.
