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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and Schedule H, Line 4j - Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the Year Ended December 31, 2007 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, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands of dollars)

1. Description of the Plan

The Pfizer Savings Plan is a defined contribution retirement 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 Pfizer Inc 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 redemption fees associated with certain investment 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% by the Company. 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.

Effective January 1, 2008, a Roth 401(k) contribution option was added to the Plan which allows participants to contribute after-tax dollars, and allows for tax-free earnings on those contributions if subsequent distributions are qualified under the Code.

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

(2) The Fidelity Specialty
Technology Fund and T. Rowe Price Health Science Fund were closed to new
investments as of January 1, 2008. On April 30, 2008, participant
balances in these funds were transferred to an appropriate Barclays Global
Investors Lifepath Fund based on the year of the individual participant's
birth.
(3) Effective January 1, 2008,
Barclays Global Investors TIPS Index Fund, Dodge & Cox International
Fund, and a self-directed brokerage account were added as investment options
in the Plan.

The trustee of the Plan, The Northern Trust Company, manages investments in its sponsored funds and, therefore, is deemed a party-in-interest and 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 U.S.-based 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, are employed by a unit not designated for participation in the Plan, or are otherwise eligible for another Company sponsored savings plan, are eligible to enroll in the Plan on their date of hire.

On January 1, 2008, the Pharmacia Savings Plan was merged into the Pfizer Savings Plan. Participants eligible to participate in or who held balances in the Pharmacia Savings Plan became eligible to participate in the Pfizer Savings Plan. Participant balances of the Pharmacia Savings Plan were transferred into investment options offered by the Pfizer Savings Plan as of that date.

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. 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 4.75% to 10.5% at December 31, 2007 and from 4% to 10.5% at December 31, 2006.

In the event of termination, participants will have 90 days to repay the loan before the loan is considered taxable to the participant. An additional 10% penalty tax may also apply.

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 a lump sum payment 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 until 13 months from the date of participant's death.

In-Service Withdrawals

Participants in the Plan may make in-service or hardship 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.

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.

Use of Estimates

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

Pfizer Inc common stock is valued at the closing market price on the last business day of the year. 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. Common/collective trust funds are stated at redemption value as determined by the trustees of such funds based upon the underlying securities stated at fair value. Fixed income funds represent investments in guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and synthetic investment contracts (SICs) 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 (see Note 6). Loans to participants, which are subject to various interest rates, are recorded at cost which approximates fair value.

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

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 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.

Reclassifications

Certain 2006 balances have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Adopted as of December 31, 2007

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) and in February 2008, issued Financial Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. Those provisions relate to our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and our fair value disclosures related to financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for the Plan on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on net assets available for plan benefits.

3. Transfers Into and Out Of the Plan

In September 2005, the Plan Sponsor completed the acquisition of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In May 2006 the Plan Sponsor completed the acquisition of Rinat Neuroscience Corp. As a result, in April 2007, net assets of the Rinat Neuroscience Corp. 401(k) Savings Plan and the Vicuron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Plan in the amounts of $2,129 and $1,481, respectively, were transferred into the Plan.

On December 20, 2006, the Plan Sponsor sold the Pfizer Consumer Health (PCH) business to Johnson & Johnson. Impacted participants can, at their election and in accordance with Plan provisions and applicable law, effect a direct rollover of their balance to the applicable qualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by Johnson & Johnson.

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. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Company's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for U.S. federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

5. Investments

The following investments represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets available for plan benefits.

$ (6,915) $508,693

6. Investment Contracts with Insurance Companies

The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund consists primarily of fully benefit-responsive GICs and SICs. The contract value of the GICs and SICs represents contributions made under the contract and related earnings offset by participant withdrawals. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Plan held GICs with a contract value of $73,428 and $67,131, respectively, and SICs with a contract value of $272,524 and $262,806, respectively.

Traditional investment contracts, such as GICs, provide for a fixed return on principal invested for a specified period of time. The issuer of a traditional contract is a financially responsible counterparty, typically an insurance company, bank, or other financial services institution. The issuer accepts a deposit from the plan and purchases investments, which are held by the issuer. The issuer is contractually obligated to repay principal and interest at the stated coupon rate to the plan, and guarantees liquidity at contract value prior to maturity for routine permitted participant-initiated withdrawals from the plan's stable value fund. "Permitted participant-initiated withdrawals" mean withdrawals from the plan's stable value fund which directly result from participant transactions which are allowed by the plan, such as participant withdrawals for benefits, loans, or transfers to other funds or trusts within the plan.

In contrast to traditional investment contracts, the investments underlying a synthetic structure are owned by the plan. SICs consist of a portfolio of underlying assets owned by the plan, and a wrap contract issued by a financially responsible third party, typically an insurance company, bank or other financial services institution. The issuer of the wrap contract provides for unscheduled withdrawals from the contract at contract value, regardless of the value of the underlying assets, in order to fund routine permitted participant-initiated withdrawals from the plan's stable value fund. SICs provide for a variable crediting rate, which typically resets at least quarterly, and the issuer of the wrap contract provides assurance that future adjustments to the crediting rate cannot result in a crediting rate less than zero.

The crediting rate is based, in part, on the relationship between the contract value and the market value of the underlying assets, as well as previously realized gains and losses on underlying assets. The crediting rate will generally reflect, over time, movements in prevailing interest rates. However, at times the crediting rate may be more or less than prevailing rates or the actual income earned on the underlying assets. In most cases, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying investments are not reflected immediately in the net assets of the plan's stable value fund, but rather are amortized either over the time to maturity or the duration of the underlying investments, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate.

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 2007 and 2006. The crediting interest rates were approximately 5.0% for 2007 and 4.8% for 2006.

The existence of certain conditions can limit the plan's ability to transact at contract value with the issuers of its investment contracts. Specifically, any event outside the normal operation of the plan which causes a withdrawal from an investment contract may result in a negative market value adjustment with respect to such withdrawal. Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, partial or complete legal termination of the plan, tax disqualification, certain plan amendments if issuers' consent is not obtained, improper communications to participants, group terminations, group layoffs, early retirement programs, mergers, sales, spin-offs, and bankruptcy.

In addition to the limitations noted above, issuers of investment contracts have certain rights to terminate a contract and settle at an amount which differs from contract value. For example, certain breaches by the plan or the investment manager of their obligations, representations, or warranties under the terms of an investment contract can result in its termination at market value, which may differ from contract value. Investment contracts may also provide for termination with no payment obligation from the issuer if the performance of the contract constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or other applicable law. SICs may also provide issuers with the right to reduce contract value in the event an underlying security suffers a credit event or terminate the contract in the event certain investment guidelines are materially breached and not cured.

8. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded as benefits paid on Form 5500 for benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31 but not yet paid as of that date. Deemed distributions, representing withdrawing participants with outstanding loan balances for which no post-default payment activity has occurred, are not reported on Form 5500 in net assets available for plan benefits. Also, investments in fixed income funds representing GICs and SICs are reported on Form 5500 at fair value, whereas the net assets available for plan benefits in the financial statements report such investments at contract value.

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for plan benefits per the financial statements to the Plan's Form 5500 filed for 2006 and expected to be filed for 2007.

9. Subsequent events

On January 1, 2008, the Pharmacia Savings Plan was merged into the Pfizer Savings Plan. Participants eligible to participate in or who held balances in the Pharmacia Savings Plan became eligible to participate in the Pfizer Savings Plan. Participant balances were transferred into investment options offered by the Pfizer Savings Plan as of that date.
