REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Savings Plan Committee
Pfizer Savings Plan for Employees Resident in Puerto Rico:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Pfizer Savings Plan for Employees Resident in Puerto Rico (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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 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 plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, 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, 2006 and Schedule H, Line 4j - Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 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
FOR EMPLOYEES RESIDENT IN PUERTO RICO
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006 and 2005
(in thousands of dollars)

1.     Description of the Plan

The Pfizer Savings Plan for Employees Resident in Puerto Rico (the "Plan"), originally adopted in 1990 as the Pfizer Savings and Investment Plan for Employees Resident in Puerto Rico, is a defined contribution retirement plan. Participation in the Plan is open to any employee employed by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals LLC (the "Plan Sponsor") or an affiliate which has, with the consent of the Plan Sponsor or Pfizer Inc (the "Parent"), 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 Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended (the "Puerto Rico Code").

Under the Puerto Rico Code, any qualified plan involving pre-tax contributions of cash or deferred arrangements must comply with one of two nondiscrimination tests. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plan complied with both tests.

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 of the Plan.

Administrative Costs

Except for investment management fees and for 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). Pre-tax contributions are subject to certain restrictions under the Puerto Rico Code. Contributions of up to 3% of compensation are matched 100% by the Company and the next 3% are matched 50% by the Company. Participants' contributions in excess of 6% are not matched. Participants who are eligible employees are permitted to rollover into the Plan eligible distributions from other plans that are qualified under Section 1165(a) of the Puerto Rico Code. .

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, allocations of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Generally, participants are immediately vested in the full value of their account (i.e., participant's and Company's contributions).

Investment Options

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

Pfizer Match Fund

--

This fund invests Company 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% (in 1% increments) 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 into any of the other available investment funds.  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.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Plan was amended to allow participants age 40 and older or participants under age 40 with at least three years of service to diversify all of their Company matching contributions into any of the other available investment funds at any time after the contributions have been made to their account.

Effective March 1, 2007, the Plan was further amended to eliminate the age and service requirements so that all Plan participants can diversify 100% of their Company matching contributions into any of the other available investment funds.

   

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

  

(a)

Northern Trust Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Fund

(b)

Northern Trust S&P 500 Equity Index Fund

(c)

Pfizer Company Stock Fund

(d)

T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund

(e)

Fidelity Low Price Stock Fund (1)

(f)

Fidelity Mid Cap Stock Fund

(g)

Capital Guardian International Fund

(h)

   Collective Short-Term Investment Fund

(1)

Closed to new investors as of July 30, 2004

The trustee of the Plan, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, and the custodian, Northern Trust Company, also manage investments in its sponsored funds and therefore, each is deemed to be 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

All employees of the Company who are employed within the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, except certain employees who are either covered by a collective bargaining agreement and have not negotiated to participate in the Plan or are 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 over 6 to 15 years at the participant's option. The interest rate on all loans is based on the prime rate (8.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively), 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.

In the event of termination, participants will have 90 days to repay the loan before the loan is considered taxable to the participant.

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 the 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 and the Parent expect to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserve 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 the Board of Directors of the Parent or the authorized designee(s) of either of them. 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.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the "FSP"), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  As required by the FSP, the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.  The Plan adopted the FSP effective December 31, 2006 and retroactively implemented its requirements to the statement of net assets available for plan benefits as of December 31, 2005.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan management 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

Pfizer Inc common stock is valued at the closing market price on the last business day of the year. Common/collective trust funds, except for the investment in the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund, are stated at redemption value as determined by the trustees of such funds based upon the underlying securities stated at fair value.  The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund represents a common/collective trust fund with an underlying investment in guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") which are reported at fair value, with an appropriate adjustment to report such contracts at contract value, by the insurance companies and underlying banks, respectively, because these investments are fully benefit-responsive.  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.  Loans to participants, which are subject to various interest rates, are recorded at cost which approximates fair value.

Risks 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 fair values could occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the statements 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.

Net Appreciation/(Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments

The Plan presents in the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits the net appreciation/(depreciation) in the value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized gains and losses on those investments, and the change in contract value of the common/collective trusts holding investments in GICs.  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments represent the difference between the net proceeds and the cost of the investments (average cost if less than the entire investment is sold).  Unrealized gains and losses on investments represent the difference between the cost of the investments and their fair value at the end of the year.  Additionally, it reflects the reversal of the unrealized gains and losses as of the end of the prior year. 

3.     Tax Status of the Plan

The Puerto Rico Department of Treasury has determined and informed the Plan Sponsor by letter dated October 3, 2005 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the Puerto Rico Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with all of the applicable requirements of the Puerto Rico Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Puerto Rico income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

Contributions made to the Plan by the Company, including pre-tax contributions made on the participants' behalf and any appreciation on all funds in the participants' accounts, are not taxable to the participants under current Puerto Rico income tax law while these amounts remain in the Plan and the Plan maintains its qualified status.
