REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Savings Plan Committee
Pfizer Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Pfizer Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each of the years then ended. 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 in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 plan benefits as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i - schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 and schedule H, line 4j - schedule of reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 2005 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits 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.

PFIZER SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
(in thousands of dollars)

1.     Description of the Plan

The Pfizer Savings Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution plan. Participation in the Plan is open to any employee of Pfizer Inc (the "Plan Sponsor"), or an affiliate, which has with the consent of the Plan Sponsor adopted the Plan ("Participating Employers"), and who is included within a group or class designated by the Plan Sponsor as set forth in the Plan document. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The following is a general description of certain provisions of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

Plan Administration

The Savings Plan Committee of the Plan monitors and reports on the selection and termination of the trustee and investment managers and on the investment activity and performance.

Administrative Costs

Except for investment management fees and redemption fees associated with certain Fidelity fund options, all costs and expenses of administering the Plan are paid and absorbed by the Plan Sponsor and Participating Employers (collectively, the "Company").

Contributions

Participants may make contributions on an after-tax basis and/or on a before-tax basis (that is, choose to reduce their compensation and have the Company contribute such amount to the Plan on their behalf). Contributions are subject to certain restrictions under the Code. Contributions of up to 3% of compensation are matched 100% by the Company and the next 3% are matched 50%. Employee contributions in excess of 6% are not matched. Participants who are eligible employees are permitted to roll over into the Plan eligible distributions from other qualified employer sponsored savings plans and conduit IRAs.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, allocations of the Company's contributions and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Participants are immediately vested in the full value of their account (i.e., participant's and Company's contributions), except for certain accounts transferred from the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan.

Investment Options

Nonparticipant Directed Fund -- The Company contributes to one fund:

   

Pfizer Match Fund

--

This fund invests employer contributions in the common stock of Pfizer Inc. A participant who has attained both age 55 and completed ten or more years of participation in the Plan may direct that a certain percentage of assets then in the Pfizer Match Fund be transferred (up to a total of 25% during the first 5 years of eligibility and up to a total of 50% thereafter in 1% increments) out of the Pfizer Match Fund into any of the other investment funds except the Pfizer Company Stock Fund. The fund may invest up to 0.25% of the fund balance in an S&P 500 index fund for purposes of liquidity.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Plan was amended to lower the minimum age requirement for diversifying Company contributions out of the Pfizer Match Fund from age 55 to age 40, and the ten year participation requirement was eliminated.  A participant who has attained age 40 may diversify up to 25% of their total units in the Pfizer Match Fund.  The amount of total units eligible for diversification increases 25% each 5 years through age 55 whereby the participant may diversify 100% of their units in the fund.

   

Participant Directed Funds -- Each participant in the Plan elects to have his or her contributions invested in any one or any combination of the following nineteen investment funds:

(a)

Intermediate Treasury Index Fund*

(b)

Russell 2000 Index Fund

(c)

S&P 500 Mutual Fund*

*

Northern Trust sponsored fund.

(1)

Closed to new investors as of July 30, 2004

The trustee of the Plan, The Northern Trust Company, manages investments in its sponsored funds and, therefore, is deemed a related party. The Plan's trust agreement provides that any portion of any of the investment funds may, pending its permanent investment or distribution, be invested in short-term investments.

Eligibility

Generally, all domestic employees of the Company, except certain employees who are either covered by a collective bargaining agreement and have not negotiated to participate in the Plan, or employed by a unit not designated for participation in the Plan, are eligible to enroll in the Plan on their date of hire.

Loans to Participants

Plan participants are permitted to borrow against their vested account balance. The minimum amount a participant may borrow is one thousand dollars and the maximum amount is the lesser of 50% of the vested account balance reduced by any current outstanding loan balance, or fifty thousand dollars, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance in the preceding 12 months.

Under the terms of the Plan, loans must be repaid within five years, unless the funds are used to purchase a primary residence. Primary residence loans must be repaid within 15 years at the participant's option. The interest rate on all loans is based on the prime rate, as defined, plus 1%. Interest paid by the participant is credited to the participant's account. Interest income from participant loans is recorded by the Trustee as earned in the nonparticipant and participant directed funds in the same proportion as the original loan issuance.  Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.14% to 11.64% at December 31, 2005 and from 4.00% to 10.50% at December 31, 2004.

In the event of termination, participants will have 90 days to repay the loan before the loan is taxed and penalized with an additional 10% tax.

Benefit Payments

Upon separation from service, retirement or disability, a participant is entitled to receive the full value of the account balance in the form of a lump sum distribution. A participant generally may elect to receive his account balance at any time up to the later of 13 months after termination or age 65, subject to the provisions of the Plan. In the event of a participant's death, a spouse beneficiary generally may elect payment at any time or defer payments until the later of 13 months from the date of death or when the participant would have reached age 65.  A nonspouse beneficiary generally may defer payment up until 13 months from the date of participant's death.

In-Service Withdrawals

Participants in the Plan may make withdrawals from their account balances subject to the provisions of the Plan.

Plan Termination

The Plan Sponsor expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue it in whole or in part at any time by action of the Plan Sponsor's Board of Directors or its authorized designee. In the event of termination of the Plan, each participant shall be entitled to the full value of his or her account balance as though he or she had retired as of the date of such termination. No part of the invested assets established pursuant to the Plan will at any time revert to the Company, except as otherwise permitted under ERISA.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, however, benefit payments are recorded when paid. For treatment of benefits payable, refer to Note 8.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of increases and decreases to net assets during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

Company common stock is valued at the closing market price on the last business day of the year. Bond funds are recorded at fair value based on market or dealer quotes on the last business day of the year. Fixed income funds and mutual funds are recorded at fair value based on the closing market prices obtained from national exchanges of the underlying investments of the respective fund as of the last business day of the year. Investments in guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and synthetic investment contracts ("SICs") are reported at their contract value by the insurance companies and underlying banks, respectively, because these investments have fully benefit-responsive features (see Note 6). Loans to participants, which are subject to various interest rates, and short-term securities are recorded at cost which approximates fair value. Short-term securities primarily consist of U.S. Government securities.

The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, the net appreciation/(depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on those investments.

Forfeitures

Forfeited amounts are used to reduce Company contributions.

Risk and Uncertainties

Investment securities, including Pfizer Inc common stock, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in their values could occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned.

3.     Transfers Into and Out Of the Plan

In February 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. As a result, in April 2005, net assets of the Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan, in the amount of $1,993, were transferred into the Plan.

In March 2003, the Company sold the Adams confectionary business and the Schick-Wilkinson Sword shaving products business.  As a result in 2004, net assets of Plan participants who were employees of these businesses of $298 were transferred out of the Plan.

4.     Tax Status of the Plan

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by letter dated August 19, 2005 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

6.     Investment Contracts with Insurance Companies

The T.Rowe Price Stable Value Fund consists primarily of fully benefit responsive GIC's and SIC's. The contract value of the GICs and SICs represents contributions made under the contract and related earnings offset by participant withdrawals. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan held GICs with a contract value of $69,413 and $64,346 and SICs with a contract value of $235,780 and $210,776, respectively. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investments at contract value.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise. The average portfolio yields were approximately 4% for both 2005 and 2004. The crediting interest rates were approximately 5% for 2005 and 4% for 2004. For GICs, the crediting interest rate, specified in the contract, is agreed upon with the issuers and is maintained for the life of the contract. For SICs, the rate is based on a formula which consists of the yield to maturity, duration, and the book and market values. The rate for SICs is periodically reset, usually quarterly, and cannot be reset below 0%.
