REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT
To the Participants and Administrator
of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income
Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings
Plan at March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the
opinion expressed above.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK
PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
GENERAL
The Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (the
Plan) was established as a result of an amendment to the Anheuser-Busch
Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (the Original Plan). The
Original Plan was established by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., effective April
1, 1976. The Original Plan was divided into two separate plans
effective January 1, 1985: the Deferred Income Stock Purchase and
Savings Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan. The
Plan is a continuation of the Original Plan except that certain
additional features were added, including provisions for Before-Tax
Contributions pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Additionally, eligibility was limited to employees not covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. Effective July 1, 1994, the Plan was
divided into two separate plans, one of which is a continuation of the
Plan as amended, and the other of which is the Anheuser-Busch Deferred
Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Certain Hourly Employees of
the Earthgrains Company). The following is intended to provide only a
general description of the Plan's provisions. Participants should
refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
The Plan covers eligible employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
(the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Company which include:
Anheuser-Busch Asia, Inc.; Anheuser-Busch Beverage Group, Inc.;
Anheuser-Busch Distributors of New York, Inc.; Anheuser-Busch Europe,
Inc.; Anheuser-Busch, Inc.; Anheuser-Busch International, Inc.;
Anheuser-Busch Investment Capital Corporation; Anheuser-Busch Mexico,
Inc.; Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation; Anheuser-Busch Sales of
Hawaii, Inc.; Anheuser-Busch Sales of South Bay, Inc.; August A. Busch
& Co. of Massachusetts; Boardwalk and Baseball, Inc.; Busch
Agricultural Resources, Inc.; Busch Agricultural Resources
International, Inc.; Busch Biotech, Inc.; Busch Creative Services
Corporation; Busch Entertainment Corporation; Busch Media Group; Busch
Mechanical Services, Inc.; Busch Properties, Inc.; Busch Properties of
Florida, Inc.; Consolidated Farms, Inc.; Eagle Snacks, Inc.; Fairfield
Transport, Inc.; Innervision Productions, Inc.; Kingsmill Realty, Inc.;
Manufacturers Cartage Company; Manufacturers Railway Company; Metal
Container Corporation; Metal Container Corporation of California; Metal
Container International, Inc.; MRS Transport Company; Nutri-Turf, Inc.;
Pacific International Rice Mills, Inc.; Packaging Business Services,
Inc.; Precision Printing and Packaging, Inc.; Sea World of Florida,
Inc.; Sea World of Texas, Inc.; Sea World, Inc.; St. Louis Refrigerator
Car Company; and Williamsburg Transport, Inc.
PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan's named fiduciaries are the Company, as Sponsor and Plan
Administrator, and Mellon Bank, N.A. as the Trustee. As Sponsor, the
Company has the right to amend the Plan, designate the Plan's named
fiduciaries and exercise all fiduciary functions necessary for the
operation of the Plan except those which are assigned to another named
fiduciary by the Plan or the related trust agreement. The Company has
appointed an Administrative Committee to exercise the authority and
responsibility for the general administration of the Plan. The Trustee
has the exclusive authority and discretion to invest, manage and hold
the assets of the trust in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
and the separate trust agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Plan was amended effective June 1, 1989, to add provisions to make
the Plan a stock bonus plan and to permit the leveraged acquisition of
Company stock by the Plan. As such, the Plan is subject to the
requirements of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) under Section
4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Trustee was specifically
empowered to enter into loans, on behalf of the Plan, to acquire
Company stock or to repay a prior ESOP loan.
Effective April 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to incorporate various
changes to the Plan, including changes in participants' contribution
limits, changes in company matching contributions, the addition of the
Managed Balanced Fund and Indexed Balanced Fund investment options, and
the decrease in the vesting period from three years to two years.
PLAN PARTICIPATION
Each employee of a participating employer (other than employees covered
by a collective bargaining agreement) of the Company is eligible to
participate in the Plan after completing one year of service in which
1,000 hours of service are completed. Participation by eligible
employees is voluntary.
CONTRIBUTIONS
A participant may make matched or unmatched contributions. Both
matched and unmatched contributions may be before-tax or after-tax. A
participant may contribute from 1% to 6% of their base compensation
through payroll deductions for Before-Tax Matched Contributions and
After-Tax Matched Contributions. The sum of these matched
contributions may not be less than 1% nor more than 6% of the
participant's base compensation. In addition, a participant may
contribute from 1% to 10% of their base compensation through payroll
deductions for Before-Tax Unmatched Contributions and After-Tax
Unmatched Contributions; however, the unmatched contribution rates may
not exceed 10% of the participant's base compensation and are subject
to other limitations as set forth in the Plan agreement. In addition,
the sum of Before-Tax contribution rates must not exceed 16% of a
participant's base compensation, subject to certain limitations of the
Internal Revenue Code. The participant's employer then contributes a
matching amount, determined annually, based on the relationship of the
Company's net income to its payroll for the year most recently ended.
However, in no event may the participating employer's matching
contribution be less than 33-1/3% nor more than 100% of the aggregate
participant contributions. The Company may, however, contribute an
amount in excess of the matching contribution to enable the Plan to
meet its debt service payments.
The Company may also be required to make a Supplemental Contribution as
determined by the Administrative Committee in accordance with the Plan
document. Supplemental Contributions are made by transferring shares
of Anheuser-Busch Common Stock from the ESOP and allocating the shares
to participants who have account balances as of the end of the Plan
year and are required to be made within 180 days of the Plan's year
end. For the year ended March 31, 2000, 159,985 shares with a value of
$10,709,064 were transferred from the ESOP to participant accounts on
April 5, 2000 for the required Supplemental Contribution. For the year
ended March 31, 1999, 40,240 shares with a value of $2,997,886 were
transferred from the ESOP to participant accounts on April 6, 1999 for
the required Supplemental Contribution.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Employee contributions vest and become non-forfeitable immediately.
Company contributions for participants actively employed by the Company
on or prior to March 31, 1990 vest immediately. For participants
subsequently employed, Company contributions vest and become
non-forfeitable after two years of service. Company contributions also
vest upon termination of employment by reason of death, permanent
disability, entry into military service, layoff exceeding twelve
months, upon termination of employment for any reason, including
retirement, after reaching age 60, or in the event of a "change of
control" in the Company (as defined in the Plan). Forfeitures of
nonvested balances reduce future employer contributions. There were
$17,247 and $34,102 in forfeitures during the years ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
INVESTMENTS
The Trustee maintains an Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Stock Fund, an
Earthgrains Company Stock Fund, a Short-Term Fixed Income Fund, a
Medium-Term Fixed Income Fund, an Equity Index Fund, a Managed Balanced
Fund, and an Index Balanced Fund for the investment of participant and
employer contributions. All employer contributions are invested in the
Company Stock Fund. At least one-half of each participant's Before-Tax
Matched Contributions and at least one-half of each participant's
After-Tax Matched Contributions shall be invested in the Company Stock
Fund for certain periods of time. The participant may direct the
remaining one-half of each type of matched contributions and all
unmatched contributions to be invested in increments of 1% into any
fund established under the Plan. Earnings are reinvested in the fund
to which they relate.
Master Trusts had been established for each of the investment funds
other than the Company Stock Fund for the investment of the Plan's
assets and the assets of the other stock purchase and savings plans
sponsored by the Company. On September 1, 1995, the Master Trusts for
each investment fund were combined, along with the Company Stock Fund
into a single Master Trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The Plan permits in-service withdrawals and an optional annual class
year distribution as defined in the Plan document, subject to certain
restrictions. Distributions for terminations are comprised of the
participant's personal contribution portion of their account and the
part of the Company contribution portion of their account which is
vested. Termination and annual class year distributions for whole
numbers of shares are payable in Company shares while the value of
fractional shares and all interests in the other funds are payable in
cash. Alternatively, the participant may elect to have non-share
investments transferred to the Company Stock Fund and distributed
thereafter in shares with fractional shares distributed in cash.
In-service distributions other than annual class year distributions are
payable at the election of the participant in Company shares or in
cash.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARTICIPANT LOANS
A participant may borrow from Before-Tax and/or After-Tax vested
account balances, subject to certain conditions. The minimum loan
amount is $1,000; the maximum amount is the lesser of $50,000 less the
highest outstanding loan balance under the Plan during the one-year
period ending on the day before the loan is made, or 50% of the vested
account balance. The interest rate for the life of the loan is set
quarterly at prime plus one percentage point as of the end of the
preceding quarter. The term of a loan for the purchase of a principal
residence may be up to 10 years; the term of a loan for any other
reason may not exceed 5 years.
PLAN EXPENSES
Under the Master Trust agreement with the Trustee, the Company may pay
all expenses incurred in the administration of the Master Trust,
including trustee fees, but is not obligated to do so. Trustee
expenses not paid by the Company are paid by the Master Trust and
proportionately allocated to the participating plans. All other
expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan are charged to and
paid by the participating employers.
PLAN TERMINATION
The Company anticipates that the Plan will continue without
interruption but reserves the right to terminate its participation in
the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Securities Act (ERISA). Such termination would result in the immediate
and full vesting of each participant's account balance. The Trustee
would then retain the assets until otherwise distributable under the
Plan.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States, requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions
to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments in common stock, U.S. government securities, and corporate
debt instruments are stated at fair value based on the quoted market
price at March 31 each year. Investments in interest bearing cash,
insurance contracts, and interests in common/collective trusts are
stated at fair value as determined by the Trustee. Participant loans
are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to
changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least
reasonably possible that
-7-
<PAGE> 11
ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK
PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
changes in risks in the near term could materially affect the amounts
reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Investment purchases and sales, and related realized gains and losses,
are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized and
unrealized appreciation/depreciation in fair value of investments is
comprised of the change in market value from the beginning to the end
of the Plan year for investments retained in the Plan, and realized
gains and losses on security transactions which represent the
difference between proceeds and cost.
ALLOCATION OF ASSETS
The Plan participates in the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined
Contribution Master Trust (Master Trust) established for the
investments of this plan and the other stock purchase and savings plans
sponsored by the Company. Units of participation in the Master Trust
are allocated to participating plans based on the relationship of
individual plan contributions to the market value of the Master Trust.
Earned income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and
administrative expenses are retained in the Master Trust and are
allocated to participating plans by the Trustee, based on units of
participation on the transaction date.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS
Distributions are recorded when paid.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the 2000 presentation.
3. INTERESTS IN ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES, INC. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
MASTER TRUST
Effective September 1, 1995 the Company and the Trustee entered into a
new master trust agreement. On September 1, 1995, in accordance with
the agreement, the Plan transferred it's investments in: the
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund, the Anheuser-Busch
Companies, Inc. Short Term Fixed Income Master Trust, the
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Medium Term Fixed Income Master Trust,
the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Capital Equity Index Fund Master
Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Managed Balanced Fund Master
Trust, and the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Indexed Balanced Fund
Master Trust for units of participation in the Anheuser-Busch
Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust. Effective March 26,
1996 the Earthgrains Company Stock Fund was also added to the
Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust. The
assets of the Master Trust are held by Mellon Bank, N.A.
At March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Plan's interest in the net assets of
the Master Trust was approximately 56% and 53%, respectively.

Further financial information for the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
Defined Contribution Master Trust as of and for the years ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 are included as Appendix A.
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
a letter dated January 30, 1995, that the Plan is designed in
accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, the underlying trust of such a Plan is exempt from federal
income taxes under Section 501 of the Internal Revenue 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 currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no
provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
statements.
5. NOTES PAYABLE
In June 1989, the Plan issued $250 million in guaranteed 8.32% ESOP
notes (Notes) to a group of insurance companies and other financial
institutions. In September 1993, the interest rate was reduced to
8.25% per annum retroactive to January 1, 1993. Interest is payable
semi-annually. Principal is payable in annual instalments until
maturity on March 31, 2004. The Notes are guaranteed by Anheuser-Busch
Companies, Inc. and Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Proceeds of the Notes were
used to purchase 5,665,723 shares of Company stock, the unallocated
portion of which is pledged as collateral for the Notes. The shares
are maintained in the Company Stock Fund and are released and allocated
to Plan participants based on calculations specified in the Plan
document as contributions are made to the Plan. During the years ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, 746,308 and 765,449 shares were released to
participants, respectively. At March 31, 2000 and 1999 the Company
Stock Fund held 2,796,321 and 3,542,629 unallocated shares,
respectively.
Principal maturities for each of the years ending March 31, are as
follows:

</TABLE>
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these
amounts are not reported as distributions payable in the accompanying
financial statements. However, Department of Labor regulations require
that these amounts be reported as liabilities on Form 5500.
Accordingly, net assets available for benefits reported on Form 5500
are lower than that reflected in the financial statements by the above
amounts.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
During the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, transactions with the
Company included aggregate common stock purchases totaling $49,050,810
and $58,821,927, respectively, and aggregate common stock sales
totaling $2,061,511 and $41,952,593, respectively. These transactions
are allowable party-in-interest transactions under Section 408(e) and
408(b)(8) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
During the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Plan purchased and
sold investments in the Employee Benefit Temporary Investment Fund of
Mellon Bank N.A., the Plan trustee. Transactions with the Fund
included aggregate investment purchases totaling $74,564,760 and
$111,473,934, respectively and aggregate investment sales totaling
$73,050,624 and $106,799,379, respectively. These transactions are
allowable party-in-interest transactions under Section 408(e) and
