1999 and 1998, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes as of December 31, 1999 and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1999, are presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Bard Employees' Savings Trust 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes. Participants of the Plan should refer to the Plan document for more detailed and complete information.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan for which contributions are made by C. R. Bard, Inc. (the "Company") and Plan participants. Effective January 1, 1998, employer matching contributions were designated as an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). This portion of the Plan invests primarily in qualifying employer securities. All domestic employees of the Company, not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, who have been scheduled for 1,000 hours of service and have attained the age of 21, are eligible to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
Plan participants may elect to make tax deferred contributions through payroll deductions between 1% and 15% of their compensation. Salespersons' commissions are also eligible for contributions to the Plan. The Company matches 100% of participants' contributions up to the first 2% of their compensation and 25% of contributions between 2% and 4% of their compensation. The Company may elect, at its discretion, to make additional matching contributions. However, matching contributions (when aggregated with elective deferral contributions) are not to exceed the maximum tax deductible amount per current Federal tax regulations.
As of December 31, 1999, participants may direct their contributions to be invested in any of the following investment funds:
Vanguard 500 Index Fund -- Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and income from dividends by holding all of the 500 stocks that make up the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, a widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance.
Vanguard International Growth Fund -- Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by investing in stocks of high-quality, seasoned companies based outside the United States. Stocks are selected from more than 15 countries.
Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund -- Seeks to provide a high level of income and moderate long-term growth of capital and income by investing in five Vanguard funds: a domestic stock fund, an international stock fund, two bond funds, and an asset allocation fund. The fund's asset allocation ranges are expected to be 25%-50% stocks, 50%-75% bonds, and 0%-25% cash investments.
Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund -- Seeks to provide long-term growth of capital by investing in four other Vanguard funds: a domestic stock fund, an international stock fund, a bond fund, and an asset allocation fund. The fund's asset allocation ranges are expected to be 65%-90% stocks, 10%-35% bonds, and 0%-25% cash investments.
Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund -- Seeks to provide a reasonable level of income and long-term growth of capital and income by investing in four Vanguard funds: a domestic stock fund, an international stock fund, a bond fund, and an asset allocation fund. The fund's asset allocation ranges are expected to be 45%-70% stocks, 30%-55% bonds, and 0%-25% cash investments.
Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund -- Seeks to provide high income and a stable share price of $1 by investing in short-term, high-quality money market instruments issued by financial institutions, nonfinancial corporations, the U.S. government, and federal agencies.
Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund -- Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in stocks of companies with above-average prospects for continued earnings growth, strong industry positions, and skilled management teams.
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund -- Seeks to provide a high level of interest income by attempting to match the performance of the unmanaged Leham Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which is a widely recognized measure of the entire taxable U.S. bond market.
Vanguard Wellington Fund -- Seeks to provide income and long-term growth of capital without undue risk to capital by investing about 65% of its assets in stocks and the remaining 35% in bonds.
Bard Common Stock Fund -- Seeks to provide the potential for long-term growth through increases in the value of the stock and reinvestment of its dividends.
Investment Contracts Fund -- Seeks to provide a high level of income and a stable unit value of $1 in most cases. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions.
All employee contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable. Participants may transfer or redirect their contributions each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Company contributions are invested solely in the Bard Common Stock Fund and may be made in cash or Company stock.
Forfeitures
At December 31, 1999, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $60,000. These accounts will be used to reduce future Company matching contributions. Also, in 1999, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $1,000,000 from forfeited nonvested accounts.
Vesting
Participants are always fully vested in their elective contributions. Participants are vested in the Company's matching contribution as follows:
Years Participated in Plan |
% Vested |
|
|
Under 2 |
0% |
2 but < 3 |
25% |
3 but < 4 |
50% |
4 but < 5 |
75% |
5 or more |
100% |
Participants that have five years or more of service are immediately 100% vested in the Bard matching contribution, regardless of participation.
Loans
A participant may borrow up to one-half of their vested account balance, limited to $50,000. The loan shall be repaid pursuant to a fixed payment schedule not to exceed five years from the date of the loan (unless such loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the loan may be repaid within fifteen years).
Income Allocations
Investment income for an accounting period shall be allocated to participants' accounts in proportion to the total of their respective account balances at the beginning of such accounting period plus any contributions or loan repayments credited to the account during the period.
Distributions
Participants will receive the full amount of their vested account balance when one of the following events occurs: normal retirement, termination of service, death or disability. Early withdrawals are permitted at the participant's request after attainment of age 59-1/2. Certain hardship withdrawals are also permitted. Distributions may be made in a lump sum payment or in a series of installments over three to ten years.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
Investments in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, the Vanguard International Growth Fund, the Vanguard LifeStrategy Conservative Growth Fund, the Vanguard LifeStrategy Growth Fund, the Vanguard LifeStrategy Moderate Growth Fund, the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund, the Vanguard PRIMECAP Fund, the Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, the Vanguard Wellington Fund, and the Bard Common Stock Fund are in the form of units of participation within the account with the unit value of each account calculated periodically by the Trustee reflecting transaction gains and losses, appreciation or depreciation of the market value of the account investments, interest and dividends.
The Investment Contracts Fund (the "Fund") is a pooled fund which is reported on the financial statements at contract value, which approximates fair value, as determined by the Trustee. The average yields of the Fund for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 were 5.67% and 6.21%, respectively. The crediting interest rate was 6.38% and 6.28% as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This rate is determined periodically by the Trustee based on the Fund's holdings. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, there were no valuation reserves related to the Fund.
Plan Administration
Under a trust agreement dated January 1, 1998, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the appointed Trustee of the Plan and administers the Plan's assets together with the income therefrom. All expenses incurred for the Plan by the Trustee and the Company may be either paid by the Company or from the assets of the Plan. Substantially all expenses of the Plan were paid by the Company during 1999.
Basis of Accounting
Accounting records maintained by the Trustee are on the accrual basis of accounting. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The Plan had no assets not having a readily determinable market value as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Sponsor by a letter dated December 1, 1999, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's legal counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of the financial statement date.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan holds 992,862 and 1,158,178 shares of C. R. Bard, Inc. common stock, respectively, with a market value of $52,621,683 at December 31, 1999 and $57,329,828 at December 31, 1998. Certain Plan investments are shares of various funds managed by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee of the Plan and, therefore, these transactions are considered related party transactions.
4. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In the event of plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their account balances.
