Report of Independent Auditors

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement
Savings and Investment Plan II

        In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan II (the "Plan") at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        As further described in Note 7, net participant balances of $162,728,379 were transferred into the Plan from other affiliated Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plans as a result of a reorganization of the plans effective August 3, 2002.

        As further described in Note 8, net participant balances from affiliated and other qualified plans in the amount of $249,815,100 were transferred into the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Tyco International (US) Inc.
Retirement Savings and Investment Plan II
Notes to Financial Statements

1. Description of Plan

        The Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan II (the "Plan") was established December 31, 1996 as a result of a spin off of the salaried portion of the Kendall Employees' Savings and Investment Plan (the "Kendall Plan") into the Plan. The Plan constitutes a successor to and continuation of the portion of the Kendall Plan that contained the account balances of salaried employees (both active and terminated) of the Kendall Company, a division of Tyco International (US) Inc. ("Tyco" or "Plan Sponsor").

        The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Tyco and is available to certain salaried and non-union hourly employees of Tyco affiliated companies (the "Companies"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Selected Plan provisions are described below. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement and summary plan description for more complete information.

    Eligibility

        Plan participants must be at least eighteen years old and have met certain service requirements with the participating Companies.

    Contributions

        Contributions are subject to Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations. Contributions to the Plan are funded on a per pay period basis.

        Participant contributions—Participants make a minimum voluntary contribution and may increase their voluntary contributions up to a certain limit of compensation.

        Employer contributions—Certain voluntary contributions are matched by the Companies. Certain supplemental employer contributions are made based on the participants' years of service, in accordance with the terms of the Plan agreement.

    Reorganization of Plans, Transfer and Merger Activity

        The Plan is one of seven Retirement Savings and Investment Plans ("RSIPs" or "Plans") sponsored by Tyco. Effective August 3, 2002, Tyco elected to restructure the various RSIPs so that the organization of the RSIPs more closely aligns with the organization of Tyco's business units. Administrative changes were also made to the RSIPs to simplify existing plan and payroll administration. This restructuring involved transferring participant balances of certain Tyco divisions from one RSIP to another. In certain cases, individuals who had participant balances in more than one RSIP had those accounts consolidated into one RSIP. See Note 7 for detail of transferred balances relating to the reorganization.

        In addition, as a result of acquisitions and divestitures by Tyco affiliated companies, there are certain plan mergers and related transfers from affiliated and other qualified plans. See Note 8 for detail of transferred balances resulting from plan mergers.

    Participant Accounts

        Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, employer contribution, and an allocation of earnings, and is charged with participant fees, as applicable. Participants are entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

    Vesting

        Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companies' contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of vesting service. Effective January 1, 2002, participants who perform an hour of service on or after that date are fully vested following three years of vesting service. Additionally, any participant who performs an hour of service after January 1, 2002 and is covered under a former employer's graded vesting schedule will become 100% vested after three years of vesting service, regardless of the prior employer's graded vesting schedule. Prior to January 1, 2002, a participant was generally 100 percent vested after five years of credited service. However, participants from a former employer's plan that was merged into the Plan could continue under the former plan's vesting schedule. Amounts forfeited prior to vesting are used to reduce future employer contributions (including any required qualified non-elective contributions, if any) and/or to pay plan administrative expenses.

    Forfeitures

        Nonvested forfeitures may be used to reduce expenses or matching contributions. During 2002, forfeitures used to reduce administrative expenses and contributions totaled $176,459 and $19,537, respectively. At December 31, 2002, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $202,922.

    Investment Options

        Plan participants are able to direct the investment of their Plan holdings (employer and employee contributions) into various investment options offered under the Plan on a daily basis. The investment options consist of registered investment companies, the Interest Income Fund (see Note 5) and the Tyco International Ltd. Stock Fund (see Note 6).

    Participant Notes Receivable

        Participants are allowed to borrow from their accounts. The minimum amount that a participant may borrow is $1,000. The maximum amount that a participant may borrow is the lesser of: (i) 50% of the participant's vested balance; or (ii) $50,000 less the highest loan balance outstanding in the previous twelve months. Participants are allowed to have two loans outstanding at a time. Loans are adequately secured and bear a reasonable interest rate. Loans must be repaid by payroll deductions and upon termination of service, all loans must be repaid in full. Interest rates ranged from 4.25% to 10.5% and 6.0% to 10.5% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

    Pfizer Inc. Stock Fund

        This frozen fund option is comprised of a short-term investment fund component and Pfizer Inc. common stock and is available only to certain former participants in the U.S. Surgical Corporation

10


Retirement Savings Plan. Participants may retain units of this fund that were converted from the U.S. Surgical Corporation Retirement Savings Plan but may not make any additional investments in the fund.

    Payment of Benefits

        On termination of service, death, disability or retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the participant's vested interest in their account or to have an annuity purchased by the Plan on their behalf, in accordance with the terms of the Plan agreement.

    Administrative Expenses

        Expenses for participant loan and hardship withdrawal transactions are paid by the Plan by reducing the balances of those participants initiating the transaction. Other expenses (generally including recordkeeping, communications, legal, consulting, and audit fees) incurred in the administration of the Plan are offset against forfeitures, except for certain investment fees which are offset against investment income.

    Plan Administration

        The Plan is administered by a retirement committee consisting of at least three persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the Plan Sponsor. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. maintains the participant accounts as recordkeeper of the Plan.

    Plan Termination

        Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Sponsor has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Plan and ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Accounting

        The accompanying financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

    Investments in the Master Trust

        The Plan participates in the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan Master Trust (the "Master Trust") with other Tyco sponsored defined contribution plans. For the period from January 1, 2002 to April 1, 2002, the CIT Group Incentive Savings Plan, sponsored by CIT Group Inc., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd., also participated in the Master Trust.

        The Plan's investment in the Master Trust is recorded at an amount equal to the Plan's interest in the underlying investments of the Master Trust. Investments of the Master Trust are stated at fair value with the exception of investment contracts and insurance contracts. Common shares are valued based on quoted market prices. Registered investment companies and bank collective investment funds are

11


valued based on net asset value. Investment and insurance contracts are valued at contract value (cost plus accrued interest) which approximates fair value. Participant notes receivable are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

        The Plan records investment income (loss) from the Master Trust (including interest, dividends, net unrealized and realized gains and losses) based upon each plan's participants' ownership in the underlying investments comprising the Master Trust. Expenses for participant loans and hardship withdrawals are allocated on a participant basis. Other expenses that are offset against forfeitures are specifically charged to each plan, as applicable. Certain investment management fees are offset against investment income.

    Benefit Payments

        Benefit payments to participants are recorded when distributed.

    Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Plan Sponsor to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.

3. Income Tax Status

        The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by a letter dated November 29, 2002 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.

4. Investments in the Master Trust

        As explained in Note 2, the Plan's assets are commingled with the assets of several other Tyco sponsored defined contribution plans in the Master Trust. Fidelity Management Trust Company, the trustee for the Master Trust, holds the Master Trust's investment assets, provides recordkeeping and administrative functions for each of the plans participating in the Master Trust, and executes investment transactions as directed by participants.

        The Plan's relative share of ownership of the total net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 28% and 14% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Plan's relative share of ownership varies in each of the underlying investments of the Master Trust.

9.     Litigation Contingency

        Tyco International Ltd. ("TIL") and certain of its current and former employees, officers and directors, have been named as defendants in eight class actions brought under ERISA. The complaints purport to bring claims on behalf of the Plans and the participants therein.

        Two of the actions were filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire and the six remaining actions were transferred to that Court by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. All eight actions have been consolidated in the District Court in New Hampshire.

        On February 3, 2003, the plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint asserting causes of action under ERISA. That complaint named as defendants TIL and certain of its present and former officers and directors, its wholly owned subsidiary Tyco, its retirement committee, and certain of its present and former officers, directors and employees. The complaint asserts that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under ERISA by negligently misrepresenting and negligently failing to disclose material information concerning, among other things, the following in TIL's financial statements: related-party transactions and executive compensation; mergers and acquisitions and the accounting thereof, as well as allegedly undisclosed acquisitions; and misstatements of financial results. The complaint also asserts that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the Plans to invest in TIL shares when it was not a prudent investment. The plaintiffs seek a declaration that the defendants are not entitled to protection under ERISA's safe harbor provision; an order compelling the defendants to make good to the Plans all losses caused by the defendants' alleged breaches of fiduciary duty; imposition of a constructive trust on any amounts by which any defendant was unjustly enriched; an order enjoining future violations of ERISA; actual damages in the amount of any losses the Plans suffered; costs and attorneys' fees; and an order for equitable restitution and other appropriate equitable monetary relief.

        On April 4, 2003, TIL and several other defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint. Shortly thereafter the other defendants also moved to dismiss. TIL's motion to dismiss remains pending before the court.

        On July 24, 2002, TIL received notice that the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") had initiated a review of one of the seven RSIPs. As the investigation progressed, it expanded to encompass all seven RSIPs.

        In conjunction with the inquiry, the DOL made several requests for documentation and information regarding the Plans. Recently, the DOL issued subpoenas for records from TIL and from Fidelity Management Trust and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. in their capacity as trustee and recordkeeper, respectively, for the RSIPs.

        The current focus of the DOL's inquiry concerns investment losses allegedly experienced by the RSIPs due to their investments in TIL common shares. The DOL has authority to bring suit on behalf of the RSIPs and their participants against those acting as fiduciaries to the RSIPs for recovery of losses and additional penalties, although it has not informed TIL of any intention to do so. The DOL has given no indication of any preliminary conclusions based on its inquiry to date, nor has it offered a timeframe in which it anticipates concluding its inquiry.
