Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Accounting Policies:
_____________________________
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Philip Morris
Companies Inc. (the "Company") are unaudited. It is the opinion of the
Company's management that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the
interim results presented have been reflected therein. All such adjustments
were of a normal recurring nature. Operating revenues and net earnings for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for the entire year. See Management's Discussion and Analysis on page 14.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference to
the Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31,
1993.
Balance sheet accounts are segregated by two broad types of business.
Consumer products assets and liabilities are classified as either current or
non-current, whereas financial services and real estate assets and liabilities
are unclassified, in accordance with respective industry practices.
Note 2. Contingencies:
_______________________
There is litigation pending against the leading United States cigarette
manufacturers alleging injury resulting from cigarette smoking or exposure to
cigarette smoking. In this litigation, plaintiffs seek compensatory and, in
some cases, punitive damages. The Company and Philip Morris Incorporated ("PM
Inc."), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, are defendants in some of
these cases.
In certain of these cases, individuals seek recovery for personal injuries
allegedly caused by cigarette smoking. Among the defenses raised by defendants
to certain of this litigation is preemption by the Federal Cigarette Labeling
and Advertising Act, as amended (the "Act"). On June 24, 1992, the United
States Supreme Court held that the Act, as enacted in 1965, does not preempt
common law damage claims but that the Act, as amended in 1969, preempts claims
arising after 1969 against cigarette manufacturers "based on failure to warn and
the neutralization of federally mandated warnings to the extent that those
claims rely on omissions or inclusions in advertising or promotions." The Court
also held that the 1969 Act does not preempt claims based on express warranty,
fraudulent misrepresentation or conspiracy. The Court also held that claims for
fraudulent concealment were preempted except "insofar as those claims relied on
a duty to disclose...facts through channels of communication other than
advertising or promotion." (The Court did not consider whether such common law
damage claims were valid under state law.) The Court's decision was announced
by a plurality opinion. The effect of the decision on pending and future cases
will be the subject of further proceedings in the lower federal and state
courts. Additional similar litigation could be encouraged if legislative
proposals to eliminate the federal preemption defense, pending in Congress since
1991, were enacted. It is not possible to predict whether any such legislation
will be enacted.
Certain developments in smoking and health litigation during 1994 are
summarized below.

In March 1994, a Florida state appellate court reversed a lower court ruling
and reinstated plaintiffs' class action allegations in a purported class action
against the leading United States cigarette manufacturers, in which certain
flight attendants, claiming to represent a class of 60,000 individuals, alleged
personal injury caused by exposure to environmental tobacco smoke ("ETS") aboard
aircraft. The appellate court ordered the trial court to hold further hearings
on the class action allegations. The defendants have filed a request for review
of this ruling by the full panel of appellate court judges.
In May 1994, an action was filed in a Florida state court against the
leading United States tobacco manufacturers and others, including the Company,
by plaintiffs alleging injury and purporting to represent a class of all United
States citizens and residents who claim to be addicted, or who claim to be the
legal survivors of persons who were addicted, to tobacco products. Plaintiffs
cited the Florida appellate reversal discussed above in support of their
allegations of class action status. The Company was recently voluntarily
dismissed from this action, which otherwise continues against the tobacco
manufacturers, including PM Inc.
In May 1994, the State of Florida enacted a statute which purports to
abolish affirmative defenses in actions brought by the state seeking
reimbursement of Medicaid costs. The statute purports in such actions to adopt
a market share liability theory, to permit the introduction of statistical
evidence to prove causation, and to allow the state not to identify the
individual Medicaid recipients who received the benefits at issue in such
action. In June 1994, PM Inc. and others filed suit in Florida state court
challenging the constitutionality of the statute.
In March 1994, an action was filed in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana against the leading United States cigarette
manufacturers and others, including the Company, seeking certification of a
class action on behalf of all United States residents who allege that they are
addicted, or are the legal survivors of persons who were addicted, to tobacco
products. Plaintiffs allege that the cigarette manufacturers manipulated the
levels of nicotine in their tobacco products to make such products addictive.
In April 1994, a motion for intervention was filed by plaintiffs who have never
smoked but claim injury, on behalf of a purported class, from their exposure to
ETS resulting from the alleged addiction of smokers to tobacco products. This
motion was denied in June 1994.
In March 1994, two cases were filed in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of California against the leading United States cigarette
manufacturers and others, including the Company, on behalf of a purported class
of persons claiming to be addicted to cigarettes and who have been prescribed
treatment through the nicotine transdermal system (known as the "nicotine
patch"). Plaintiffs assert a violation of the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt
Organizations Act and claim unspecified actual and treble damages. In April
1994, the two cases, which are virtually identical, were combined in a single
amended complaint and plaintiffs' counsel have agreed to dismiss the separate
second-filed case. In July 1994, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint on the grounds that the complaint fails to state a claim. Also in
July 1994, plaintiffs served a motion asking the court to certify a class of
"all persons in the United States who have been diagnosed and are suffering from
nicotine addiction due to cigarette smoking and have been prescribed and paid
for a nicotine transdermal system to assist them in trying to break their
addiction to nicotine by stopping smoking or will be so diagnosed in the
future." Recently, the Company was dismissed from this action by stipulation of
the parties. The action continues against the tobacco manufacturers, including
PM Inc.

In June 1994, a case was filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California against the leading United States cigarette
manufacturers and others, including the Company, on behalf of a purported class
of persons claiming to be injured as a result of an alleged addiction to
cigarettes or by the alleged exposure to "second-hand" smoke. Plaintiff asserts
causes of action for fraud and deceit, negligent misrepresentation, violation of
consumer protection statutes, breach of express warranty, breach of implied
warranty, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, strict
liability, and nuisance, and also seeks injunctive and declaratory relief.
In March 1994, an action was filed in an Alabama state court against the
three leading United States cigarette manufacturers, including PM Inc.
Plaintiff, claiming to represent all smokers who have smoked or are smoking
cigarettes manufactured and sold by defendants in the state of Alabama, seeks
compensatory and punitive damages not to exceed $48,500 per each class member as
well as injunctive relief arising from defendants' alleged failure to disclose
additives used in their cigarettes. In April 1994, defendants removed the case
to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The
plaintiff subsequently filed a motion to remand to an Alabama state court. The
motion to remand has not been ruled upon.
In May 1994, an action was filed in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Louisiana against the leading United States cigarette
manufacturers and others, including PM Inc., by plaintiffs alleging injury and
purporting to represent a class of African American or Black American residents
or domiciliaries of the United States who claim that they are addicted to
tobacco products or that they were not warned of the alleged special and unique
health risks posed to African Americans by tobacco products or that they were
not warned of the ingredients of tobacco products. The plaintiffs voluntarily
dismissed this case in June 1994.
In May 1994, an action was filed in Mississippi state court against the
leading United States cigarette manufacturers and others, including the Company,
by the Attorney General of Mississippi seeking reimbursement of Medicaid and
other expenditures by the State of Mississippi claimed to have been made to
treat smoking-related diseases. Plaintiff also seeks an injunction barring
defendants from selling or encouraging the sale of cigarettes to minors. In
June 1994, defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Mississippi. In that same month, plaintiff moved to
remand the case back to state court. The motion to remand is now pending.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has recently enacted legislation
specifically authorizing lawsuits similar to that described in the immediately
preceding paragraph.
In April 1993, the Company and several of its officers were named as
defendants in the first of a number of purported shareholder class actions which
have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York. These lawsuits allege that the Company violated federal
securities laws by making false and misleading statements concerning the effects
of discount cigarettes on PM Inc.'s premium tobacco business prior to April 2,
1993, the date upon which PM Inc. announced revisions in its marketing and
pricing strategies for its premium and discount brands.

In April 1994, the Company, PM Inc. and certain officers and directors were
named as defendants in complaints filed as purported class actions in the United
States District Courts in New York, one in the Eastern District and two in the
Southern District. In one of these cases, plaintiffs allege that defendants
violated the federal securities laws by maintaining artificially high levels of
profitability through an inventory management practice pursuant to which
defendants allegedly shipped more inventory to customers than was necessary to
satisfy market demand. In the remaining two cases, plaintiffs assert that
defendants violated federal securities laws with statements and omissions
regarding the allegedly addictive qualities of cigarettes. In each case,
plaintiffs claim to have been misled by defendants' knowing and intentional
failure to disclose material information.
The Company and PM Inc. believe, and have been so advised by counsel
handling the respective cases, that each has a number of valid defenses to all
pending litigation. All cases are, and will continue to be, vigorously
defended. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that
some of these actions could be decided unfavorably. An unfavorable outcome of a
pending smoking and health case could encourage the commencement of additional
similar litigation. Recently, there have been a number of restrictive
regulatory, adverse political and other developments concerning cigarette
smoking and the tobacco industry, including the commencement of the purported
class actions referred to above. These developments generally receive
widespread media attention. The Company is not able to evaluate the effect of
these developing matters on pending litigation and the possible commencement of
additional litigation.
Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of
loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome of all pending litigation.
It is possible that the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a
particular quarterly or annual period or its financial position could be
materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable outcome of certain pending
litigation. Management believes, however, that the ultimate outcome of all
pending litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position.
The Company is contingently liable for payment of (Pounds)610 million notes
maturing on October 15, 1994, sold with recourse in 1989.
In March 1994, the Company and PM Inc. filed an action against American
Broadcasting Companies, Inc. and others alleging injury caused by false and
defamatory statements made by defendants on various nationally televised news
programs. Among the statements giving rise to the action is defendants' claim
that tobacco companies, including PM Inc., artificially "spike" and "fortify"
their cigarettes sold in the United States with additional nicotine. The
Company and PM Inc. seek compensatory and punitive damages totaling $10 billion.
However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the Company and PM Inc.
are unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

Operating revenues of $31.9 billion for the first six months of 1994 increased
$936 million (3.0%) and operating income increased $247 million (5.4%) over the
comparable 1993 period. Operating revenues of $16.4 billion for the second
quarter of 1994 increased $625 million (4.0%) and operating income increased
$343 million (16.2%) over the comparable 1993 period. In the second quarter of
1994, operating income in all consumer product business segments, other than
international food, increased over the comparable 1993 period.

Currency movement reduced operating revenues and operating income during the
second quarter of 1994 by $206 million and $75 million, respectively, as
compared to the second quarter of 1993. However, in the latter part of June
1994, the strengthening of European currencies resulted in $461 million
favorable movement in the Company's cumulative translation adjustment. While
the Company cannot predict the direction or degree of currency fluctuation,
reported third quarter operating revenues and operating income could benefit
from a continued strengthening of European currencies.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of 1994 was 42.7% as compared
to 41.3% in the comparable 1993 period. The increase is due primarily to the
higher federal income tax rate, which became effective during the third quarter
of 1993.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits." The cumulative effect at January 1, 1993 of adopting SFAS No. 112
reduced 1993 net earnings by $477 million ($.54 per share), net of $297 million
of income tax benefits. Adoption of SFAS No. 112 did not materially reduce the
first six months of 1993 earnings before cumulative effect of accounting change.

For several years, the tobacco industry has faced a number of issues which
have affected volume, operating revenues and operating income. In the first six
months of 1994 and subsequently, the industry, including PM Inc., witnessed the
proliferation of many of these concerns and the emergence of new issues. These
included proposed federal regulatory controls, actual and proposed excise tax
increases, governmental and private restrictions on smoking, new and proposed
restrictions on tobacco manufacturing, marketing, advertising and sales,
increased assertions of adverse health effects associated with both smoking and
exposure to tobacco smoke (and legislation or other governmental action seeking
to assess the industry with liability therefor)and the diminishing social
acceptance of smoking. See Note 2 to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
-15-
<PAGE>
Currently, the federal excise tax on cigarettes is $12 per thousand ($.24 per
pack). In the first six months of this year, the legislative health care debate
produced numerous proposals for increasing the federal excise tax on tobacco,
ranging from increases of $1.25 per pack down to $.45 per pack. Legislation
currently awaiting action in the Senate and in the House of Representatives
contains provisions which are identical and which, if enacted, would result in
an increase of $.45 per pack, to be phased in over a five year period commencing
August 1, 1995. It is anticipated that higher excise taxes, if implemented,
would result in volume declines for PM Inc. and the cigarette industry and might
cause shifts between the premium and discount segments.
Legislation or other governmental action is proposed periodically that not
only would increase excise taxes but also would curtail further the
advertisement and use of tobacco products. During the first half of 1994,
members of Congress and the Administration proposed measures which, if adopted,
would ban or severely restrict smoking in workplaces and in buildings permitting
public access, require substantial additional health warning and product content
information on cigarette packages and in advertising, eliminate the tax
deductibility of a portion of the cost of tobacco advertising and authorize the
United States Food and Drug Administration to regulate tobacco as an addictive
drug.
It is not possible to determine what, if any, governmental legislation or
regulations will be adopted relating to cigarettes or to smoking. However, any
or all of the foregoing, if implemented, could have an adverse impact on PM
Inc.'s volume, operating revenues and operating income, the amounts of which
cannot be determined.
DOMESTIC TOBACCO. During the first six months of 1994, domestic cigarette
industry volume (based on shipments) continued to shift from the discount
segment to the premium segment. The premium and discount segments accounted for
approximately 67% and 33%, respectively, of the domestic cigarette industry in
the first six months of 1994, compared with 60% and 40%, respectively, in the
comparable period of 1993. Actions taken by PM Inc. in 1993 in response to the
highly price sensitive market environment are discussed below.
PM Inc.'s domestic volume (based on shipments) was 107.5 billion units for
the first six months of 1994, an increase of 17.3% over the comparable 1993
period, reflecting the success of PM Inc.'s new pricing strategy and its
marketing and promotional programs. This compared with an industry increase of
9.8%. PM Inc.'s market share for the first six months of 1994 was 44.4%, an
increase of 2.8 share points from the comparable 1993 period. In the premium
segment, volume in PM Inc.'s brands increased 33.6% in the first six months of
1994, compared with a 22.6% increase for the industry, resulting in a market
share gain of 4.3 share points to 53.0%. The Marlboro family's volume was up
18.9 billion units (39.7%) for a 27.4% share of the total industry, as compared
with a 21.6% share in the first six months of 1993. In the discount segment, PM
Inc.'s shipments decreased 21.4% to 21.3 billion units in the first six months
of 1994, compared with an industry decrease of 9.6%, resulting in a decrease of
4.1 share points in this segment to 26.8%. (See below for a discussion of
volume changes in the second quarter of 1994.)
Since the implementation of the strategy announced on April 2, 1993 and
subsequent actions taken by PM Inc. (see below), Nielsen retail sales data
indicate share gains for PM Inc. and Marlboro, growing from their low point of
41.6% and 22.0%, respectively, in March 1993 to 46.7% and 28.9%, respectively,
in June 1994. Additionally, retail share of PM Inc.'s other premium brands, as
a group, climbed to 8.9% in June 1994, up from 8.3% in August 1993, when PM Inc.
lowered their wholesale list prices. (March 1993 retail market shares have been
restated to reflect PM Inc.'s change to a more representative Nielsen survey of
retail outlets. Previously reported retail market shares for PM Inc. and
Marlboro in March 1993 were 41.7% and 22.1%, respectively.)
-16-
<PAGE>
During the first six months of 1994, the Company's domestic tobacco operating
revenues increased 2.9% due primarily to volume increases ($898 million) and
favorable product mix ($452 million), partially offset by price decreases ($1.2
billion). Operating income for the first six months of 1994 decreased 4.5% from
the comparable 1993 period, due primarily to price decreases ($1.2 billion),
partially offset by volume increases ($593 million), favorable product mix, and
lower marketing, administration and research costs ($79 million).
During the second quarter of 1993, PM Inc. implemented an extensive
promotional program to reduce the average retail price of Marlboro cigarettes.
This action, which represented a major shift in its domestic tobacco pricing
strategy, was intended to restore lost market share and improve long-term
profitability. The market share results of the Marlboro brand price promotion
exceeded expectations. Accordingly, during the third quarter of 1993, PM Inc.
announced certain actions designed to continue its share recovery strategy.
Specifically, PM Inc. created a two category pricing structure for its tobacco
brands, premium and discount. In the premium segment, PM Inc. converted its
Marlboro retail price promotion into an equivalent wholesale list price
reduction that applied to all its other premium brands as well. In the discount
segment, PM Inc. raised the net list price of its deep discount products. Its
other discount brands are being offered at the same net list price. These
strategies effectively narrowed the price gap between PM Inc.'s premium
cigarette brands and competitors' discount products. The strategy has thus far
proved successful, with PM Inc. recording share and volume gains for Marlboro
and its other premium brands since lowering prices.
As part of the U.S. federal budget passed in August 1993, Congress has
required, effective January 1, 1994, that domestic cigarette manufacturers use
at least 75% American-grown tobacco, which is more expensive than imported
tobacco, in their products. Due to the high content of American-grown tobacco
already used in PM Inc.'s products and in those exported by PM International,
this new requirement has not had, and is not expected to have, a material
adverse impact on tobacco results of operations.
INTERNATIONAL TOBACCO. Operating revenues increased 7.1% due to favorable
volume/mix ($361 million), higher foreign excise taxes ($190 million) and price
increases ($126 million), partially offset by currency movement ($102 million).
Total international unit volume increased 33 billion units (14.2%) to 264
billion units. Volume gains were recorded in Germany, France, Spain, Central
and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Argentina and Brazil. In
Italy, volume continued to grow, excluding the effect of an inventory
replenishment in early 1993 following a union strike. Volume declined in Turkey
reflecting difficult economic conditions. The Company's market share trends
remain positive in its major international markets with record shares achieved
in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Finland, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Argentina and Brazil. International volume continued to grow for the
Company's U.S. heritage brands, such as Marlboro, Chesterfield, L&M, Virginia
Slims, Parliament and Philip Morris. Operating income increased 18.2% due
primarily to volume/mix increases ($209 million) and price increases and lower
costs (aggregating $163 million), partially offset by higher marketing expenses
($79 million) and currency movement ($54 million).

DOMESTIC TOBACCO. During the second quarter of 1994, domestic cigarette
industry volume (based on shipments) continued to shift from the discount
segment to the premium segment. The premium and discount segments accounted for
approximately 68% and 32%, respectively, of the domestic cigarette industry in
the second quarter of 1994, compared with 59% and 41%, respectively, in the
comparable period of 1993.
PM Inc.'s domestic volume (based on shipments) was 57.9 billion units for the
second quarter of 1994, an increase of 21.9%, compared with an industry increase
of 11.1%. PM Inc.'s volume increase reflects the success of PM Inc.'s new
pricing strategy and its marketing and promotional programs. However, the
increase was inflated by a reduction in wholesale inventories in the second
quarter of 1993, which lowered shipments, as well as by a small increase in
trade inventories this year as wholesalers accelerated their purchases in
anticipation of a possible rise in the federal excise tax. PM Inc.'s market
share was 45.6%, up 4.0 share points from the comparable 1993 period. In the
premium segment, volume in PM Inc.'s brands increased 42.4% in the quarter,
compared with a 27.3% increase for the industry, resulting in a market share
gain of 5.7 share points to 54.4%. The Marlboro family's volume was up 11.6
billion units (46.6%) for a 28.8% share of the total industry, as compared with
a 21.9% share in the second quarter of 1993. In the discount segment, PM Inc.'s
shipments decreased 24.5% to 11.0 billion units, compared with an industry
decrease of 12.5%, resulting in a loss of 4.3 share points in this segment to
27.0%.
PM Inc.'s domestic tobacco operating revenues increased 7.3% due primarily to
volume increases ($589 million) and favorable product mix ($282 million),
partially offset by price decreases ($679 million). Operating income increased
25.1% from the comparable 1993 period, due primarily to volume increases ($389
million), favorable product mix, and lower marketing administration and research
costs ($176 million), partially offset by price decreases ($674 million).
-18-
<PAGE>
INTERNATIONAL TOBACCO. Operating revenues increased 6.8% due primarily to
favorable volume/mix ($184 million), higher foreign excise taxes ($117 million)
and price increases ($44 million), partially offset by currency movement ($43
million). Total international unit volume increased 18 billion units (16.3%) to
128 billion units. Volume gains were recorded in Germany, Italy, France, Spain,
Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Korea, Argentina and Brazil.
Volume declined in Turkey reflecting difficult economic conditions. The
Company's market share trends remain positive in its major international
markets, with record shares achieved in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium,
Holland, Finland, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Argentina and Brazil.
International volume continued to grow for the Company's U.S. heritage brands,
such as Marlboro, Chesterfield, L&M, Virginia Slims, Parliament and Philip
Morris. Operating income increased 19.2% due primarily to volume/mix increases
($151 million) and price increases and lower costs (aggregating $67 million),
partially offset by higher marketing expenses ($53 million) and currency
movement ($41 million).

NORTH AMERICAN FOOD. During the first six months of 1994, operating revenues
increased slightly due to volume increases ($312 million) and price increases
($186 million), partially offset by the impact of dispositions, net of
acquisitions ($413 million) and currency movement ($52 million). In the fourth
quarter of 1993, the Company sold its frozen desserts and frozen vegetable
businesses. Volume rose from increases in cheese, coffee, processed meats,
bakery, cereals, desserts, beverages, frozen pizza, frozen meals, foodservice
and Canadian operations. Volume declined in dinners and enhancers (rice
products, stuffing mixes and syrups) and commodity oil products. Operating
income increased 4.6% over the comparable 1993 period, due primarily to volume
increases ($122 million) and price increases net of cost increases ($12
million), partially offset by higher marketing, administration and research
costs ($85 million).
In May 1994, new labeling requirements for food products, issued by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration, became effective. Compliance with the new
requirements has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse impact
on domestic food results of operations.

INTERNATIONAL FOOD. Operating revenues for the first six months of 1994
increased slightly due primarily to acquisitions ($271 million) and price
increases, partially offset by currency movement ($322 million). Volume grew in
confectionery driven by new product launches and in coffee due primarily to
higher sales in anticipation of recently announced price increases. Grocery and
cheese volumes were down due to intense price competition in several European
markets. Operating income decreased 3.6% from the comparable 1993 period, due
primarily to currency movement ($55 million), partially offset by acquisitions
($24 million) and price increases.

Beer
____
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30
Operating revenues for the first six months of 1994 increased $88 million
(4.1%) from the comparable 1993 period. This increase was due to volume
increases ($11 million), the acquisition of Molson Breweries U.S.A. Inc. in the
second quarter of 1993 ($71 million) and price/mix favorabilities ($39 million),
partially offset by the disposition of distributorships ($34 million). Unit
volume (based on shipments) increased 3.0% in the first six months of 1994
reflecting strong growth in premium brands (7.8%), partially offset by a
decrease in budget brands. Premium brand growth was led by ice-brewed product
introductions. Miller Lite volume declined, but volume for the Lite brand
family grew due to the introduction of Lite Ice. Operating income increased $25
million (10.8%) over the comparable 1993 period, due primarily to higher volume
($5 million) and price/mix favorabilities ($21 million).
Periodically, legislation is proposed which would increase excise taxes and
curtail the advertisement of beer. If implemented, such legislation could
result in volume, operating revenues and operating income declines.
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30
Operating revenues for the second quarter of 1994 increased $32 million
(2.7%) from the comparable 1993 period. This increase was due primarily to
price/mix increases ($39 million) and volume increases ($14 million), partially
offset by the disposition of distributorships. Unit volume (based on shipments)
increased 1.2% reflecting the strong performance of the Company's premium brand
portfolio, which had volume increases of 5.7% for the quarter. Premium growth
was led by better-than-expected sales of Miller's new ice-brewed products.
Partially offsetting this increase was a volume decline for the Company's budget
brands. Miller Lite volume declined, but volume for the Lite brand family grew
due to the success of Lite Ice. Volume increased in Molson brands. Operating
income increased $15 million (10.8%) from the comparable 1993 period, due
primarily to price/mix increases ($23 million) and volume increases ($6
million), partially offset by higher marketing expenses ($15 million).
Financial Services and Real Estate
__________________________________
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30
For the first six months of 1994, operating revenues from financial services
and real estate operations increased 43.7% and operating income increased 20.4%
from the comparable 1993 period driven by increased residential land sales in
Southern California and Colorado. Operating income from financial services
increased 6.3% over the comparable 1993 period, due primarily to gains from
sales of marketable securities, partially offset by lower levels of finance
asset investments.
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30
During the second quarter of 1993, operating revenues and operating income
from financial services and real estate operations increased 88.9% and 28.9%,
respectively, from the second quarter of 1993 driven by increased residential
land sales in Southern California and Colorado. Operating income from financial
services was flat, reflecting gains on sales of equity securities, offset by
lower levels of finance asset investments.

Cash Provided and Used
______________________
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
_________________________________________
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.3 billion for the first six
months of 1994, compared with $2.8 billion in the 1993 period. The decrease was
due primarily to more cash used for working capital items in 1994 and payment of
accreted interest on matured zero coupon bonds, partially offset by higher
earnings.
Free cash flow is a measure of excess cash generated by a company and is
available for debt repayment, share repurchase and acquisitions. The Company
defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital
expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and net investments in finance
assets. For the first six months of 1994, consolidated free cash flow totaled
$1.1 billion, as compared to $833 million in the comparable 1993 period. The
increase was due primarily to lower net investments in finance assets and higher
earnings, partially offset by more cash used for working capital items in 1994
and payment of accreted interest on matured zero coupon bonds.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
_____________________________________
Cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 1994 was $44
million, compared with $3.4 billion for the comparable 1993 period. The
decrease reflects a $2.4 billion decrease in cash used for acquisitions, net of
dispositions, as well as a $575 million increase in net proceeds from finance
assets. Capital expenditures were $607 million in the first six months of 1994,
of which 59% related to food operations and 31% related to tobacco operations.
During the first half of 1993, the Company acquired Freia Marabou a.s,
Scandinavia's leading confectionery company, at a cost of approximately $1.3
billion, a North American ready-to-eat cereal business at a cost of $454 million
and Terry's Group in the United Kingdom for $295 million. In addition, the
Company acquired a 20% equity interest in Molson Breweries in Canada and 100% of
Molson Breweries U.S.A., at a cost of $295 million. The Company also increased
its investment in tobacco operations in Central and Eastern Europe.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
_____________________________________
During the first six months of 1994, the Company's net cash used in financing
activities was $2.2 billion, compared with $100 million during the first six
months of 1993. The change reflects a $446 million net repayment of debt in
1994 compared with a $2.2 billion net issuance of debt in the 1993 period, as
well as $554 million of common stock purchases in 1994 compared with $1.2
billion in the 1993 period. Cash used in financing activities for the first six
months of 1994 was due primarily to the purchase of common stock ($554 million),
cash dividends paid ($1.2 billion) and net repayment of consumer products' long-
term debt ($942 million), partially offset by net issuance of consumer products'
short-term borrowings ($631 million).
The Company may continue to refinance long-term and short-term debt from time
to time. The nature and amount of the Company's long-term and short-term debt
and the proportionate amount of each can be expected to vary as a result of
future business requirements, market conditions and other factors.
-22-
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1994, the Company's ratio of consumer products debt to total
equity was 1.29, down from 1.41 at December 31, 1993. The change reflects an
increase in stockholders' equity which was due primarily to net earnings in the
first half of 1994 and favorable movement in the currency translation adjustment
($461 million), partially offset by dividends declared and purchases of common
stock.
Dividends paid in the first six months of 1994 increased 2.1% over the
comparable period of 1993, reflecting a 6.2% increase in the annual dividend
rate to $2.76 per share from $2.60 per share, partially offset by a lower number
of outstanding shares of stock.
During the first six months of 1994, the Company repurchased 12.4 million
shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $639 million; 7.7 million
shares were repurchased in the second quarter of 1994. These purchases were
made in accordance with the Company's November 1991 announcement of its
intention to spend up to $2 billion to repurchase common stock in open market
transactions; in May 1992, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $3
billion for such purchases. Through June 30, 1994, cumulative purchases under
the program totaled 64.3 million shares at a cost of $4.5 billion. On February
23, 1994, the Board of Directors extended through December 30, 1994, the
existing authority to repurchase the Company's shares, which was scheduled to
expire in May 1994.

of financial counseling for the years 1994 through 1996 by an advisor of his
choice in an amount up to $15,000 for each calendar year. In the event any

July 31, 1994, they shall be offset against the maximum 1994 allowance of
$15,000.
(c) In connection with the Executive's obligation to furnish
cooperation pursuant to Section 9, Kraft shall either (i) provide the Executive
with an office in Kraft's headquarters in Northfield, Illinois comparable to his

through July 31, 1996 or, alternatively at Kraft's option, (ii) provide the
Executive with such an office, furniture, equipment and supplies and secretary

furniture and equipment of at least $75,000. The budgeted amounts shall be made
available as requested by the Executive.

household and family from their present location to the Chicago, Illinois area,

under the Company's Executive Relocation Assistance policy as in effect on the

for the reasonable expenses he incurs in such relocation, including, without
limitation, all expenses associated with selling his New York City residence.
In addition, in the event that the Executive in his discretion determines to
sell his New York City residence at 19 East 72nd Street, he shall use his
reasonable best efforts to obtain the then fair market value and if the gross

membership fees and dues incurred by him at one country club for a period of two
years following the termination of the Executive's employment.

information of the Company, except (i) in the course of carrying out his duties
under this Agreement, (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any
governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the
Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee
thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make
accessible such information and (iii) when such information becomes generally
known to the public through no fault of the Executive. For the purpose of this
Section 6, (a) "confidential information" shall mean all trade secrets or
proprietary information concerning the business of the Company relating to its

Executive and the Company agree not to make any statements inconsistent with
such announcement.
8. Releases.
--------
(a) The Executive voluntarily and knowingly releases the Company
and its officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all claims,
actions and causes of action he has or may have arising on or before the date of
this Agreement, whether known or unknown, including, without limitation, those
arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and
other federal, state or local human and civil rights or labor laws, relating to
his employment by, or termination of employment with the Company, except that
the Executive does not release (a) his right to have the Company perform its
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, his right to
indemnification pursuant to Section 10 or to any compensation or benefit
pursuant to any plan or program that is part of the subject matter of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any qualified retirement plan, or (b)
any right he may have to obtain contribution in the event of the entry of
<PAGE>
11
judgment against him as a result of any act or failure to act for which both the
Executive and the Company are jointly responsible.
(b) The Company voluntarily and knowingly releases the Executive
from any and all claims, actions and causes of action it has or may have arising
on or before the date of this Agreement, whether known or unknown, except that
the Company does not release its right to have the Executive perform his
obligations under this Agreement.
9. Cooperation in Litigation.
-------------------------
The Executive shall cooperate and generally make himself available
to give testimony and assistance in connection with any litigation or
arbitration proceeding or investigation involving the Company and arising out of
activities of the Company for which he has had responsibility. The Company shall
reimburse the Executive for, or advance to the Executive, all reasonable out-of-
pocket travel and other expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with
the Executive's testimony, cooperation and assistance under this Section 9,
including reasonable fees and disbursements for independent counsel for the
Executive, if the Executive reasonably determines that the litigation,
arbitration, proceeding or investigation is of a nature which requires that he
have independent representation. Such expenses shall be reimbursed or advanced
promptly after the Executive's submission to the Company of statements in such
<PAGE>
12
reasonable detail as the Company may require. The Executive shall not be
obligated to make more than 20 days in any calendar year available for the
purpose of furnishing cooperation pursuant to this Section 9. In any event, any
request for such cooperation shall take into account (i) the significance of the
matters at issue in the litigation, arbitration, proceeding or investigation and
(ii) the Executive's other personal and business commitments. The Executive
shall be entitled to a fee of $2,500 per day (or a pro rata fee for a portion of
a day) for furnishing such cooperation, such fee to be paid promptly following
the Executive's submission of a statement therefor.
10. Indemnification.
---------------
(a) The Company agrees that if the Executive is presently a
party, is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a
"Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company or is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the
basis of such Proceeding is the Executive's alleged action in an official
capacity while serving as such director, officer, employee or agent, the
Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the
<PAGE>
13
fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company's articles of
incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors or,
if greater, by the laws of the State of Virginia, against all cost, expense,
liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive after he
has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or other
entity and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive's heirs, executors and
administrators. The Company shall advance to the Executive all reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by him in connection with a proceeding within 20 days
after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such
request shall include an undertaking by the Executive to repay the amount of
such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
indemnified against such costs and expenses.
(b) Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of
directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a
determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of
amounts claimed by the Executive under Section 10(a) that indemnification of
the Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct,
nor a determination by the
<PAGE>
14
Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or
stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard of
conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met the
applicable standard of conduct.
(c) The Company agrees to continue and maintain directors' and
officers' liability insurance covering the Executive no less favorable than the
coverage the Company provides for its directors and officers.
11. Additional Payments.
-------------------
In the event that the aggregate of all payments or benefits made
or provided to the Executive under this Agreement and under all other plans and
programs of the Company (the "Aggregate Payment") is determined to constitute a
Parachute Payment, as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company shall pay to the
Executive, prior to the time any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
("Excise Tax") is payable with respect to such Aggregate Payment, an additional
amount which, after the imposition of all income and excise taxes thereon,
including any interest and penalties, is equal to the Excise Tax on the
Aggregate Payment.
<PAGE>
15
12. Opportunity for Review by Counsel and Period to Revoke Agreement.

transferred by will or operation of law. No rights or obligations of the Company
under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Company except that
such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger

obligations and duties of the Company hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event of a spin-off, split-up or other similar restructuring of the
Company involving the transfer of a substantial amount of the Company's assets

controlled directly or indirectly by the Company, the Company shall, prior to
the completion of such transaction, cause such entity to unconditionally
guarantee the Company's liabilities and obligations under this Agreement.
22. Survivorship.
------------
The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder
shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the
intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

Exhibit A
---------
March 8, 1989
Mr. Michael A. Miles
1350 Lake Road
Lake Forest, IL 60045
Dear Mike:
On behalf of Philip Morris Companies Inc., I would like to thank you for your
efforts in connection with the integration of the management of our food
operations. Your continued participation in this integration is essential to
enable us to build an effective food operations management team that will assure
future growth and continued success. The purpose of this letter is to confirm
our recent understandings regarding your Deferred Incentive Payment.
In recognition of your importance to management of the food operations, we have
agreed that you will be paid a Deferred Incentive Payment designed to provide
you with a special incentive to remain with us during the integration of Kraft
and General Foods. Your Deferred Incentive Payment award will be computed and
paid to you at the time and in the form described in Appendix A.
If your employment terminates for any reason (including death), you will be
entitled, subject to the following provisions, to the amount of any Deferred
Incentive Payment, including any interest, dividends and appreciation thereon,
and also entitled to any unpaid compensation. Generally, any payment to which
you are entitled on termination of employment will be paid to you within 30 days
of your date of termination. However, if you retire or otherwise voluntarily
terminate employment prior to February 15, 1991, your Deferred Incentive Payment
will be paid in accordance with Appendix A. If your employment is terminated
prior to February 15, 1991, for any reason you will not be entitled to other
payments under any severance plan or policy.
Although our discussions have focused on your employment during the next two
years, we recognize the need to provide a level of continuing financial
assurance after the expiration of the
<PAGE>
two-year business integration period. In the event your employment is
involuntarily terminated without cause after February 15, 1991, you will receive
an amount equal to the greater of (1) the sum of your annual base salary at the
rate in effect at payment (excluding amounts attributable to the Deferred
Incentive Payment) which you received for the most recent calendar year for
which the computation of such award has been made at the time of your
termination of employment, or (2) the amount to which you would be entitled
under the terms of the normal severance plans or policies of Philip Morris
Companies Inc. or its subsidiaries then applicable to you.
Whenever your employment terminates, you and your family will be covered by
lifetime medical, dental and life insurance benefits on terms at least as
favorable as those currently available to other peer executives retiring from
service with Kraft, Inc., but not less favorable than those available to you and
your family, in the aggregate, under the medical, dental and life insurance
plans of Kraft, Inc. as of December 1, 1988 (for this purpose the Kraft, Inc.
life insurance plan for active employees shall be applicable until age 65 and
thereafter the Kraft, Inc. life insurance plan for retired employees shall be
applicable). If you are reemployed and are eligible to receive any medical or
dental benefits under your new employer's plan, the medical and dental plans of
Philip Morris Companies Inc. or its subsidiaries will only provide secondary
coverage to you and your family during such applicable period of eligibility
under the new employer's plans.
This letter is intended to summarize our previous understanding relating to your
employment with Philip Morris Companies Inc. and its subsidiaries. It replaces
any prior employment agreements you had with Kraft or Philip Morris Companies
Inc. or its subsidiaries, and any such agreements are to be of no effect.
However, nothing in this letter precludes you from participating in any
compensation plan, benefit plan or other executive benefit which is generally
available to similarly situated executives of Kraft Inc. or its successors and
which has not been expressly addressed by this letter. Nothing in this letter
replaces or otherwise changes the obligations of Philip Morris Companies Inc.
under its indemnification agreement with you dated December 16, 1988.
The payments referred to in this letter are obligations of your employer.
Philip Morris Companies Inc. will cause your employer to comply with the terms
of this letter and to assume its obligations and will also serve as a guarantor
with respect to the payments. In the event of any merger, reorganization or
similar event, Philip Morris Companies Inc. will cause any successor entity to
assume the obligations evidenced by this letter. In addition, if payment of any
of the amounts provided for in Appendix A subjects you to federal excise tax, on
those amounts or any other amounts you have received, you will receive
additional
2
<PAGE>
payments sufficient to place you in the position that would have existed had no
such excise tax been payable.
If this letter accurately describes the matters set forth above, please sign the
enclosed copy of this letter and Appendix A which should be returned to us, and
will then constitute our entire agreement on this subject.
Sincerely,
PHILIP MORRIS COMPANIES INC.

APPENDIX A
DEFERRED INCENTIVE PAYMENT
--------------------------
On the terms and conditions set forth in the attached letter agreement and this
Appendix, your employer and Philip Morris Companies Inc. promise to make the
Deferred Incentive Payment as follows:
(a) A "shadow stock account" will be credited as of February 15, 1989,
with 27,257 shadow shares. Each shadow share will have a value equal
------
to that of one share of the common stock of Philip Morris Companies
Inc.
(b) When dividends are paid on the common stock, additional shadow shares
will be credited to the account in an amount determined by
multiplying the number of shadow shares by the dividend per share paid
on the common stock and dividing this product by the closing price of
the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date the
dividend is paid.
(c) The number and value of shadow shares will be appropriately adjusted
in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision or
combination of shares, reclassification or conversion of stock in the
event of a merger or consolidation, or similar event with respect to
the common stock so that the aggregate value of shadow shares credited
will be at least as great immediately after as immediately before any
such event. In the event of any dissolution or liquidation of Philip
Morris Companies Inc., or if trading in the common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange ceases for five or more consecutive days during
which such Exchange is open for trading, then regardless of any other
provision of this Appendix you will receive an immediate cash payment
of an amount equal to the value of the shadow stock account computed
on the basis of the average closing prices for the common stock on the
New York Stock Exchange on the last five days on which such stock was
traded.
(d) The number of shadow shares shall also be adjusted in the following
circumstances:
(i) In the event on or before February 15, 1991, you die, become
disabled for six consecutive months, have your employment
involuntarily terminated, or take normal or employer approved
early retirement, the number of shadow shares credited to your
shadow stock account will be increased by the amount, if any,
necessary to bring the aggregate value of the shadow shares
credited, determined as of the date of any such event, to the
amount determined by crediting $2,725,623 with interest from
----------
December 6,
<PAGE>
1988 to the date of such event at a rate equal to (A) the annual
rate on 12 months obligations of the United States Treasury on
February 15, 1989 for the portion of the period prior to February
15, 1990, and (B) the annual rate on such obligations on February
15, 1990 (applied to the balance of both principal and interest
on that date) for any portion of the period on or after February
15, 1990.
(ii) If you continue your employment with Philip Morris Companies Inc.
or any of its subsidiaries until February 15, 1991, the number of
shadow shares credited to your shadow stock account shall be
increased in the amount, if any, necessary to bring the aggregate
value of the shadow shares credited to your account on February
15, 1991 to the amount determined by crediting the dollar amount
specified in (i) above with interest at the rates and in the
manner described therein to February 15, 1991.
For purposes of this Appendix, other than for purposes of the last sentence of
paragraph (c), the value of each shadow share will be the closing price of a
share of the common stock on the most recent New York Stock Exchange trading day
preceding the date of the determination of value.
(e) The amount of the Deferred Incentive Payment payable to you will be
determined by multiplying the number of shadow shares credited to you
on the most recent New York Stock Exchange trading day preceding
payment by the closing price of the common stock on such day. Such
amount shall be paid to you in cash, or at the discretion of Philip
Morris Companies Inc. in shares of common stock equal in number to
your shadow shares, at the time you select by initialing one of the
following alternative payment schedules:
The Deferred Incentive Payment will be paid within 30 days after
the earliest to occur of your death, disability for six
consecutive months, or other termination of employment; except in
the event of your voluntary termination of employment for reasons
other than normal or employer approved early retirement, the
Deferred Incentive Payment will be paid no earlier than February
15, 1991.
OR
The Deferred Incentive Payment will be paid within 30 days after
the earliest to occur of your death, disability for six
consecutive months, other termination of employment, or February
--------
16, 1991; except in the event of your voluntary termination of
--------
employment for reasons other than normal or employer
<PAGE>
approved early retirement, the Deferred Incentive Payment will be
paid no earlier than February 15, 1991.
Your entitlement to the Deferred Incentive Payment does not constitute an
interest in specific assets of your employer or Philip Morris Companies Inc.
Your status with respect to such payment shall be that of an unsecured general
creditor.
The Deferred Incentive Payment may not be assigned or otherwise transferred by
you (other than by your will or by operation of law in the event of your death)
prior to the date you actually receive such payment or payments.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------
NEW YORK, June XX, 1994 -- The Board of Directors of Philip Morris
Companies today accepted with regret the resignation of Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Michael A. Miles. The Board elected Mr. X Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer to succeed Mr. Miles.
In submitting his resignation, Mr. Miles said, "Philip Morris
Companies Inc. is a great organization, and I have been proud to be part of it.
I leave with full confidence that the difficult decisions made over the past two
years will be proven right by our results in 1994 and beyond. Now, however,
with the resurgence of our U.S. tobacco business, and the continued strong
growth in international tobacco, it makes sense to again have a career tobacco
executive in the top job."
The resignation was accepted on behalf of the Board by the Chairman of
the Board's Compensation Committee, John Reed, Chairman of Citicorp. Speaking
for the Board, Mr. Reed said, "The decision was Mr. Miles'. Mike has done much
for Philip Morris since he joined the Philip Morris family of companies in 1988.
With the full support of the Board, he
<PAGE>

has skillfully led the company through a very challenging period of time."
Mr. Reed continued, "We are fortunate to be able to turn to Mr. X who
has long demonstrated his skills in guiding our tobacco and food businesses
around the world for over XX years."
Mr. X, who was elected to the Board and appointed Vice Chairman for
Worldwide Tobacco last month, commented, "It is an honor to be selected to guide
this great company that I first joined in XXXX. I am grateful to be able to
step in when we are positioned so effectively around the world in all three
lines of our business: tobacco, food and beer. While there are significant
challenges ahead for us, I see great opportunities to grow all of our worldwide
businesses."
These changes will take effect immediately.
