                  Independent Auditors' Report

Plan Administrator
TRICON Long Term Savings Program:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of the TRICON Long Term Savings Program
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for
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 generally accepted
auditing standards. 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 of the Plan as of December 31, 1999 and
1998 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with 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 schedules of assets held for investment purposes at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and non-exempt 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 audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
materials respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1999 and 1998

                 (Tabular amounts in thousands)


(1)  SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The following brief description of the TRICON Long Term
     Savings Program (the "Plan") provides only general
     information. Participants should refer to the Plan document
     for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  GENERAL

          TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc. (the "Company") adopted
          the Plan effective October 7, 1997 as a result of the
          spin-off of the Company from PepsiCo, Inc. The Plan is
          a successor of the PepsiCo Long Term Savings Program.
          Any employee within a group or class so designated by
          the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan. The
          Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
          Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
          ("ERISA").

          The investments of the Plan are maintained in a trust
          (the "Trust") by State Street Bank and Trust Company
          (the "Trustee").

     (b)  CONTRIBUTIONS

          Each participant in the Plan may elect to contribute
          any amount, not to exceed 15% of their eligible
          earnings. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limited the
          maximum annual amount a participant could contribute on
          a before-tax basis to $7,000, indexed for inflation.
          For calendar years 1999 and 1998, the maximum
          contribution allowed under the IRS tax code section
          402(g)(3), was $10,000. There was not matching of
          contributions by the employer during the period from
          January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998. Beginning in
          July 1998, participants received a 25% matching
          contribution on each unit of Company stock purchased.
          As of January 1, 1999, the matching contribution on
          each unit of Company stock purchased was 40%.

     (c)  PARTICIPANT LOANS

          The Plan has a loan program for participants. The
          maximum amount a participant may borrow is the lesser
          of 50% of the participant's vested interest under the
          Plan; $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan
          balance during the preceding one-year period; 100% of
          the value of the participant's investment in certain
          funds; or the maximum loan amount that can be amortized
          by the participant's net pay up to four years. The
          interest rate for loans is based on the prime rate plus
          one percent. In addition, a one-time loan origination
          fee of $25 and a monthly maintenance fee are charged to
          those participants who obtain a loan. Interest on loans
          is allocated to each of the funds based upon the
          participant's contribution election percentages. Any
          loans outstanding shall become immediately due and
          payable in full if the participant's employment is
          terminated.

          As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, loans outstanding had
          an estimated average interest rate of 9.0% and 9.5%,
          respectively, and maturities through the year 2003 and
          2002, respectively.

     (d)  VESTING

          Participants are fully vested in the entire value of
          their accounts upon contribution, including the Company
          matching contribution in stock purchased.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1999 and 1998

                 (Tabular amounts in thousands)


     (e)  WITHDRAWALS

          Distributions under the Plan are made upon a
          participant's death, disability, retirement, or
          termination of employment. Benefit payments are made in
          the form of a lump sum cash amount or in kind
          distribution. In the case of a participant who has not
          yet attained the age of 59-1/2, withdrawal shall only
          be permitted in the event of hardship, as defined in
          the Plan. As discussed above, the Plan permits
          withdrawals under a loan program.

     (f)  TERMINATION

          Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
          Company has the right under the Plan to terminate the
          Plan. In the event that the Plan is terminated, the
          Trustee is not required to make any distributions from
          the Trust until such time as the Internal Revenue
          Service has determined in writing that such termination
          will not adversely affect the prior qualification of
          the Plan.

(2)  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     (a)  BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

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

     (b)  USE OF ESTIMATES

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity
          with generally accepted accounting principles requires
          management to make estimates and assumptions that
          affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
          and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent
          assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

     (c)  INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

          INVESTMENT VALUATION - Investment contracts are stated
          at contract value, which approximates fair value. The
          Plan is credited with actual earnings on the underlying
          investments and charged for plan withdrawals and
          administration expenses charged by the issuer of the
          respective contracts. Cash and cash equivalents and
          participant loans are recorded at cost, which
          approximates fair value. Securities and mutual funds
          held by participants in the Plan are valued at quoted
          market prices of participants' investments. All other
          investments are valued at quoted market values.

          INCOME RECOGNITION - Dividend income is recorded on the
          ex-dividend date. Income from investments is recorded
          as earned on an accrual basis. Purchases and sales of
          securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized
          gains and losses on the sales of securities in each
          fund are reported on the average cost method.

     (d)  PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

          Benefits are recorded when paid.

     (e)  Administrative Costs

          All usual and reasonable expenses of the Plan and the
          Plan administrator may be paid in whole or in part by
          the Company, and any expenses not paid by the Company
          will be paid by the Trustee out of the Trust. All
          expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
          December 31, 1998 were borne by the Company, except for
          monthly investment service fees charged to the funds,
          loan application and monthly maintenance fees charged
          to participants who obtained a loan and maintenance and
          transaction fees charged to participants within the
          Brokerage Option account.

(3)  INVESTMENTS

     In September 1999, the American Institute of Certified
     Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 99-3,
     ACCOUNTING FOR AND REPORTING OF CERTAIN DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
     PLAN INVESTMENTS AND OTHER DISCLOSURE MATTERS ("SOP 99-3").
     SOP 99-3 simplifies the disclosure for certain investments
     and is effective for plan years ending after December 15,
     1999. The Plan adopted SOP 99-3 during the Plan year ending
     December 31, 1999. Accordingly, information previously
     required to be disclosed about participant-directed fund
     investment programs is not presented in the Plan's 1999
     financial statements. The Plan's 1998 financial statements
     have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
     presentation.

     Individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of
     the Plan's net assets available for benefits as of December
     31, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

(4)  NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS

     The TRICON Common Stock fund, which contains nonparticipant-
     directed investments, has net assets of $40 million and $28
     million, of which $3.8 million and $1 million are
     nonparticipant-directed investments, as of December 31, 1999
     and 1998, respectively. Information about the significant
     components of the changes in net assets relating to the
     nonparticipant-directed investment portion of the TRICON
     Common Stock fund is as follows:

(5)  TRANSFERS TO OTHER PLANS

     During 1999, employees formerly employed in the supply chain
     management division transferred to the Unified Foodservice
     and Purchasing Co-op, LLC (the "UFPC"). For these
     individuals, Plan assets of approximately $1.3 million
     representing their account balances were transferred to the
     UFPC Thrift and Money Pension Plan. This transfer has been
     reflected in the accompanying financial statements as a
     transfer to UFPC Thrift and Money Pension Plan.

                 (Tabular amounts in thousands)


     Additionally, during 1999, several stores were refranchised
     to Koning Restaurants International. A transfer,
     representing the total of the accounts of participants who
     became employees of Koning Restaurants International, was
     made from the Plan to the Koning Restaurants International
     401(k) Plan. This transfer has been reflected in the
     accompanying financial statements as a transfer to Koning
     Restaurants International 401(k) Plan.

(6)  TAX STATUS

     The Plan has not yet requested a determination letter from
     the Internal Revenue Service, however, the Plan
     Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed
     and being operated in compliance with the applicable
     requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
     provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's
     financial statements. The Plan is a spin-off from the
     PepsiCo Long Term Savings Program which had received a
     favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
     Service. The Plan intends to request a determination letter
     from the Internal Revenue Service before the end of the
     current remedial amendment period.

(7)  RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500

     Notwithstanding the requirements of generally accepted
     accounting principles, the U.S. Department of Labor requires
     that unpaid benefit amounts be reported as a liability of
     the Plan for purposes of Internal Revenue Service Form 5500
     filings. As a result, the following represents a
     reconciliation between the amounts shown on the accompanying
     financial statements and the amounts reported in the Plan's
     Form 5500.

(8)  NON-EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

     There was a one-time unintentional delay by the Company in
     submitting employee deferrals in the amount of $125,990 to
     the Trustee during 1999. As soon as the delayed contribution
     was discovered, the Company contributed the employee
     deferrals to the Plan. In September 2000, the Company
     reimbursed the Plan for lost interest in the amount of
     $46,715.

(9)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed
     by the Trustee. These transactions qualify as party-in-
     interest transactions.
