                   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, 1998 and 1997 and the
  related statements of changes in net assets available for
  benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, and the period
  from October 7, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 1997.
  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, 1998
  and 1997 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
  for the year ended December 31, 1998, and the period from
  October 7, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 1997, 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, 1998 and 1997 and of reportable
  transactions for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
  period from October 7, 1997 (inception) through December 31,
  1997 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 fund information in the statements of net assets
  available for benefits and the statements of changes in net
  assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
  additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
  available for plan benefits and changes in net assets
  available for plan benefits of each fund. The supplemental
  schedules and fund information 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.

                 TRICON LONG TERM SAVINGS PROGRAM

                   Notes to Financial Statements

                    December 31, 1998 and 1997

          (Tabular amounts in thousands except unit data)

(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").

   (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 1998 and
       1997, the maximum contribution allowed under the IRS tax
       code section 402(g)(3), was $10,000 and $9,500,
       respectively. There was no matching of contributions by the
       employer during the period from October 7, 1997 through June
       30, 1998. Beginning in July 1998, participants received a
       25% matching contribution on each unit of Company stock
       purchased.

   (C) INVESTMENT OPTIONS

       Each participant in the Plan elects to have contributions
       invested in any one or combination of the following separate
       investment options:

       TRICON COMMON STOCK FUND:  This fund is invested primarily
       in the common stock of the Company. Investments in this
       investment option are subject to market fluctuations, and
       there is no guarantee of future performance.

       EQUITY INDEX FUND: This fund is invested primarily in the
       Vanguard Institutional Index Fund, a diversified stock fund.
       This fund is a passively managed fund designed to mirror the
       performance of Standard and Poor's 500 Index, a broadly-
       based average of stock market performance. Investments in
       this investment option are subject to fluctuations, and
       there is no guarantee of future performance.

       EQUITY - INCOME FUND:  This fund is invested primarily in
       the Fidelity Equity - Income Fund. The fund's chief
       objective is to provide income, although some consideration
       is given to capital appreciation. Amounts invested in this
       investment option are subject to market fluctuations, and
       there is no guarantee of future performance.

                              6                            (Continued)

                 TRICON LONG TERM SAVINGS PROGRAM

                   Notes to Financial Statements

                    December 31, 1998 and 1997

          (Tabular amounts in thousands except unit data)

       SECURITY PLUS FUND:  This fund is an investment portfolio
       managed by State Street Global Advisors and is comprised of
       investment funds and contracts issued by highly rated banks
       and insurance companies and short-term investment funds.
       Guarantees of principal and interest are provided by the
       insurance company or other financial institutions issuing
       the contracts. The objective of this fund is to provide,
       over a period of time, a higher rate of return than average
       money market funds while preserving principal and providing
       liquidity. The rate of return on this fund will fluctuate
       based on existing market conditions and is not intended to
       provide a guaranteed rate of return.

       PEPSICO CAPITAL STOCK FUND:  This fund was established as a
       temporary investment under the Plan. Effective the end of
       the day on January 31, 2000, the PepsiCo Capital Stock Fund
       will cease to be available under the Plan. Any amount in the
       fund will be reallocated to the investment option designated
       for this purpose by the Plan Administrator unless the
       participant selects a different replacement option in
       accordance with such requirements as the Plan Administrator
       may apply.

       BROKERAGE OPTION:  The Trustee has engaged a wholly owned
       subsidiary, State Street Brokerage Services, Inc. ("SSBSI"),
       to maintain Brokerage Option accounts for participants.
       SSBSI has entered into an agreement with National Financial
       Services Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange member firm
       unrelated to the Trustee or SSBSI, to transact allowable
       trades directed by participants and maintain custody of the
       assets of the Brokerage Option accounts. This investment
       option permits electing participants and beneficiaries to
       invest all or a portion of their investment in the Plan in
       additional choices for self-directed investment, subject to
       written rules and procedures published by the Plan
       Administrator. The investments available under this fund are
       securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the
       American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ National Market, and
       certain mutual funds as specified by the Plan Administrator.

       LOAN ACCOUNT:  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 the TRICON Common Stock,
       Equity Index, Equity - Income, Security Plus and PepsiCo
       Capital Stock 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. Loan issuances and principal
       repayments are included in "transfers from (to) other
       funds". 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, 1998 and 1997, loans outstanding had an
       estimated average interest rate of 9.5% and maturities
       through the year 2002 and 2001, respectively.

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

       For the purpose of providing liquidity in each of the
       separate investment options (other than the Brokerage
       Option) under the Plan, the Trustee may invest a portion of
       each fund in cash or short-term securities. The percentage
       of assets held for this purpose is normally expected to
       range from 2 to 10 percent, but under extraordinary
       circumstances, the percentages may be substantially higher.
       Consequently, the mix of cash, securities, and other
       investments in each of the investment funds could vary
       significantly at any given time and the performance of any
       particular fund may not match the performance of the fund or
       stock, as the case may be, outside the Plan.

   (D) VESTING

       Participants are fully vested in the entire value of their
       accounts upon contribution, including the Company matching
       contribution in stock purchased in 1998.

   (E) WITHDRAWALS

       Distributions under the Plan are made upon a participant's
       death, disability, retirement, or termination of employment.
       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 disclosure of
       contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
       financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
       and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
       could differ from those estimates.

          (Tabular amounts in thousands except unit data)

   (C) INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

       INVESTMENT VALUATION - Investment contracts in the Security
       Plus Fund are stated at contract value, which approximates
       fair value. The Security Plus Fund 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 the Loan Account are recorded at cost, which
       approximates fair value.  The Brokerage Option is valued at
       quoted market prices of participants' investments.  All
       other investments are valued at quoted market values.  The
       investments in each fund (except the Brokerage Option and
       the Loan Account) are valued in units.  The value of a unit
       has and will fluctuate in response to various factors
       including, but not limited to, the price of and dividends
       paid, earnings and losses, and the mix of assets in the
       respective fund.

       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, 1998 and the period from October 7,
       1997 (inception) through December 31, 1997 were borne by the
       Company, except for monthly investment service fees charged
       to the funds, loan origination and monthly maintenance fees
       charged to participants who obtained a loan, and maintenance
       and transaction fees charged to participants within the
       Brokerage Option account.

    (4)  TRANSFER FROM PEPSICO SAVINGS PLAN

    In connection with the spin-off, as referred to in note 1(a),
    approximately $176 million in plan assets representing employee
    account balances were transferred in October 1997 to the Plan
    from a long term savings plan administered by PepsiCo. Such
    transfer has been reflected in the accompanying financial
    statements as a transfer from PepsiCo Long Term Savings
    Program.

    (5)  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.

    (6)  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.

    (7)  YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

    The Company's information technology systems and non-
    information technology systems with embedded technology
    applications are part of the Company's enterprise-wide plan
    designed to reasonably assure that those systems and certain
    critical business partners are prepared for the Year 2000 issue
    and that plans exist for business continuity as the Company
    enters the coming millennium. Material third party vendors of
    the Company, including data exchange providers, have been
    included in the Company's assurance plans.

    It is difficult to predict with certainty what truly will
    happen after December 31, 1999. Despite the Company's diligent
    preparation, unanticipated third party failures, general public
    infrastructure failures, or failures of the Company to
    successfully conclude its remediation efforts as planned could
    have a material adverse impact on the Plan's activities and,
    accordingly, its net assets available for benefits and changes
    therein.
