                        REPORT of INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To:  The Corporate Employee Plans Investment
     Committee of Philip Morris Companies Inc.,
     the Corporate Employee Benefit Committee of
     Philip Morris Companies Inc., the Administrator,
     and all Participants as a group (but not individually)
     of the Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan:

         We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of
the Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income and changes in
plan equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996
and the schedule of investments as of December 31, 1996. These financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
fiduciaries of the Plan appointed by Philip Morris Companies Inc. (or its
delegate). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and the financial statement schedule 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 the
fiduciaries, 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 financial position of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the income and changes in plan equity for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information required to be included therein.

         Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The fund information in the
statements of financial condition and statements of income and changes in plan
equity is presented for purposes of additional information rather than to
present the financial condition and changes in income and plan equity of each
fund. The fund information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

            PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     General Description of the Plan:

       The Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan")
       is a defined contribution plan maintained for the benefit of eligible
       employees of Philip Morris Incorporated ("Philip Morris"), represented by
       the Bakery, Confectionery and Tobacco Workers Union ("BCT Union"). Philip
       Morris is a subsidiary of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the "Company").
       The Plan is designed to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to
       share in the profits of Philip Morris and to invest certain of their
       funds in a tax-advantaged manner.

       Eligible employees generally may make before-tax and after-tax
       contributions beginning on or after the January 1 following their
       respective dates of hire and become eligible for the Philip Morris
       contribution (the "Contribution") upon completion of twenty-four months
       of accredited service. Each year, Philip Morris makes the Contribution to
       the Plan in accordance with the formula described in Note 3. The
       provisions of the Plan are detailed in the official Plan document which
       legally governs the operation of the Plan.

       The administration of the Plan has generally been delegated to the
       Corporate Employee Benefit Committee of the Company (the "Committee") and
       the Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Administration of the
       Company (the "Administrator"). The Corporate Employee Plans Investment
       Committee of the Company (the "Investment Committee") is responsible for
       the selection of the investment options set forth below in which
       participants elect to invest their assets in the Plan and monitors the
       performance of these investment options. The Committee, the
       Administrator, and the Investment Committee are hereinafter collectively
       referred to as the "Fiduciaries".

       Assets of the Plan are co-invested with the assets of the Philip Morris
       Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "DPS Plan") and the assets of the
       Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Craft
       Employees (the "PMI Craft Plan") in a commingled investment fund known as
       the Philip Morris Deferred Profit-Sharing Trust Fund (the "Trust") (see
       Note 7).

       Prior to June 20, 1995, participants had the option of investing their
       Plan Accounts (see Note 4) in ten percent increments in four funds.
       Effective July 10, 1995, participants have the option of investing their
       Plan Accounts in one percent increments in the following seven funds:

            EQUITY INDEX FUND - This fund is invested primarily in an index fund
            of stocks on a weighted average basis in approximately the same
            proportion as the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks
            ("S&P 500").

            INTEREST INCOME FUND - This fund consists primarily of investment
            contracts entered into by Bankers Trust Company (the "Trustee") with
            financial institutions, each of which agrees to repay in full the
            amounts invested with the

                                      -9-

                                  (continued)

            institution, plus interest. The assets of the Interest Income Fund
            are also invested in pools of mortgage-backed and asset-backed
            securities, corporate bonds, and obligations of the United States
            Government and its agencies. As an integral part of the purchase of
            each pool of these investments for the Interest Income Fund, a
            financial institution agrees to protect the pool to the extent its
            market value fluctuates from original cost, but not in the event of
            a default of any security in the pool.

            U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS FUND - This fund includes primarily
            direct obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies,
            obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies, and
            fully insured bank deposits. The average maturity of the U.S.
            Government securities in the U.S. Government Obligations Fund is
            approximately five years. Prior to July 15, 1995, the average
            maturity of the securities in this fund was two years.

            PHILIP MORRIS STOCK FUND - This fund is invested in the common
            stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and short-term temporary
            investments.

            INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND - This fund is invested primarily in
            common stocks of the foreign companies that make up the Europe,
            Australia, and Far East (EAFE) index. The approximate allocation of
            stocks in the fund is 62 percent in Europe, three percent in
            Australia, and 35 percent in the Far East (including 26 percent in
            Japan).

            BALANCED FUND - This fund is invested primarily in a diversified mix
            of domestic and foreign stocks, investment grade bonds,
            international bonds, and investment grade money market funds. In
            general, the assets of the Balanced Fund may be invested according
            to the following mix: 40 percent to 70 percent in stocks, 20 percent
            to 55 percent in bonds, and zero percent to 25 percent in money
            market instruments.

            GROWTH EQUITY FUND - This fund is invested primarily in stocks of
            domestic and foreign companies considered to have better-than-
            average prospects for long term growth and with a history of, or
            commitment to, regular dividend payments.

         None of the foregoing funds guarantees a return to the participant.
         Prior to June 1, 1994, participants could change their investment
         elections three times during each calendar year. From June 1, 1994 to
         June 20, 1995, participants could change their investment elections
         once each month. Effective July 10, 1995, participants can change their
         investment elections daily.

       Participant contributions made to a Plan Account established on and after
       January 1, 1992 and any Contribution made on and after February 1, 1992
       for which no investment direction has been given are invested in the U.S.
       Government Obligations Fund. In all other cases, participant
       contributions made to a Plan Account for which no investment direction
       was given by the participant are invested in the Equity Index Fund.

       Each participant may vote all the shares of Common Stock held in his or
       her Plan Accounts and invested in the Philip Morris Stock Fund. The
       Trustee will vote full and fractional shares of Common Stock in
       accordance with each individual participant's instruction. The Trustee
       votes those shares of Common Stock for which no or inadequate voting
       instructions have been received in the same proportions as the shares for
       which instructions have been received.

       At December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were 6,716 and 7,135 participants,
       respectively, some of whom elected to invest in more than one fund. Set
       forth below is the number of participants investing in each fund.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

       Valuation of Trust Investments:

          Investments in common trust funds of the General Employee Benefit
          Common Trust of Bankers Trust Company ("GEBT") are valued on the basis
          of the relative interest of each participating investor (including
          each participant) in the fair value of the underlying assets of each
          of the respective GEBT common trust funds.

                                  (continued)

              Investment contracts and the pools of mortgaged-backed and asset-
              backed securities and other investments held in the Interest
              Income Fund are recorded at their contract values, which represent
              contributions and reinvested income, less any withdrawals plus
              accrued interest, because these investments have fully benefit-
              responsive features. For example, participants may ordinarily
              direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their
              investment at contract value. However, withdrawals influenced by
              employer-initiated events, such as in connection with the sale of
              a business, may result in a distribution at other than contract
              value. There are no reserves against contract values for credit
              risk of contract issuers or otherwise. The fair value of the
              investment contracts and the pools of mortgaged-backed and asset-
              backed securities and other investments at December 31, 1996 and
              1995 was $1,027,592,000 and $910,649,000, respectively. The
              average yield and crediting interest rate of the Interest Income
              Fund was approximately seven percent for 1996 and 1995. The
              crediting interest rate for the pools of mortgaged-backed and
              asset-backed securities and other investments is reset
              periodically by the issuer based on the relationship between the
              contract value and the fair value of the underlying securities,
              but cannot be less than zero. The crediting interest rate for the
              investment contracts is either agreed-to in advance with the
              issuer or varies based on an agreed-to formula, but cannot be less
              than zero.

              Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price
              on the last business day of the year; listed securities for which
              no sale was reported on that date are recorded at the last
              reported bid price. However, if trading in Common Stock has been
              suspended on the New York Stock Exchange and not resumed before
              the end of any trading day, the Trustee will use the composite
              price listed in The Wall Street Journal on the next business day.
              Securities that are not listed on an exchange are generally traded
              in active markets and valued by the Trustee from quoted market
              prices.

              Short-term temporary investments are generally carried at cost,
              which approximates fair value.

         Investment Transactions and Investment Income of the Trust:

              Investment transactions are accounted for on the dates purchases
              or sales are executed. Realized gains and losses are computed on
              the basis of average cost of investments sold. Dividend income is
              recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded as
              earned on an accrual basis.
         
              In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair
              value, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
              investments reflects both realized gains or losses and the change
              in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held
              at year-end (see Note 8).

     3.  Contributions:

         The Contribution for the year is accrued by the Plan based upon the
         amount to be funded each year in accordance with the defined
         contribution formula noted below. Participants' contributions are
         recorded in the period in which they are withheld by Philip Morris.

                                  (continued)

       The Contribution on behalf of eligible employees of Philip Morris who
       have met the twenty-four month service requirement is an amount equal to
       the lesser of (1) three percent of Operating Profit (defined below), less
       the amounts allocated for participants in the DPS Plan and the PMI Craft
       Plan or (2) 15 percent of the aggregate participant compensation for such
       year of the participants employed by Philip Morris among whom the
       Contribution is to be allocated. The aggregate of the Contribution to the
       Plan and the contributions to the DPS Plan and the PMI Craft Plan may not
       be more than three percent of consolidated earnings of the Company and
       its subsidiaries before income taxes and cumulative effect of any
       accounting change and provisions for deferred profit-sharing and
       incentive compensation plans.

       Operating Profit is defined as the earnings of Philip Morris, before
       cumulative effect of any accounting changes, discontinued operations and
       extraordinary items, interest and other debt expense, income taxes,
       amortization of goodwill, minority interest, unallocated corporate
       expenses, the amount of any deduction used in computing such earnings for
       the Contribution to the Plan and the contributions to the DPS Plan and
       the PMI Craft Plan and contributions to any incentive compensation plan.

       No contribution is required from any participant under the Plan.
       Participants may make contributions on a before-tax and after-tax basis
       to the Plan. If a participant has not made the maximum after-tax
       contribution, he or she may make an additional lump sum contribution,
       subject to certain statutory limits. The percentage of compensation
       available for these contributions may vary from year-to-year. The
       aggregate contributions actually made by participants may not cause the
       Plan to violate limitations on such contributions set forth in the
       Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Code also
       imposes a dollar limitation on the amount of before-tax contributions for
       a calendar year. For 1996, each participant's before-tax contribution was
       limited to $9,500; for 1997, each participant's before-tax contribution
       will be limited to $9,500, with a limitation in each year of eight
       percent of compensation on the total amount of before-tax and after-tax
       contributions.

       While Philip Morris has not expressed any intent to discontinue making
       the Contribution, it is free to do so at any time. The Contribution and
       participant contributions are subject to specified limitations as
       described in the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
       1974, as amended ("ERISA").

   4.  Valuation of Participant Accounts:

       The Trustee maintains Accounts for each participant to reflect the source
       and the participant's share of the funds invested in the Trust:

</TABLE> 
       At the end of each month, (effective July 10, 1995, each business day),
       the Trustee determines the current fair value of each of the investment
       funds in the Trust described in Note 1. The fair value of each
       participant's share in the Trust is determined with respect to their
       Company, Personal Before-Tax, Personal After-Tax, Rollover and PAYSOP
       Accounts on the basis of their proportionate share in each investment
       fund.

   5.  Withdrawals and Distributions:

       Participants may make withdrawals against their Company, Personal
       Before-Tax, Personal After-Tax, Rollover and PAYSOP Accounts in
       accordance with the provisions outlined in the Plan.

       All withdrawals by participants are subject to approval of the Committee
       (or other administrator of the Plan acting pursuant to the Committee's
       delegated authority) and will not be permitted if they would have the
       effect of disqualifying the Plan and the related Trust from exemption
       from taxation.

       Only 50 percent of a participant's Company Account as of December 31,
       1988 is available for hardship withdrawals as defined by the Plan. Any
       withdrawals will reduce the amount available for future withdrawals. The
       portion of a Company Account eligible for withdrawal will be unavailable
       if it serves as collateral for an outstanding loan.

       Distributions are made only in the event that a person ceases to be a
       participant. Upon termination of employment, including retirement, a
       participant has numerous options available, as described in the Plan,
       with respect to his or her Company, Personal Before-Tax, Personal
       After-Tax, Rollover and PAYSOP Accounts. Normally, distributions are made
       within one month after such termination.

       In the event the Plan is terminated, distributions will be made in
       accordance with the current value of participants' Accounts under the
       direction of the Committee and in accordance with the Code.

   6.  Participants' Loans:

       The loan program permits participants to borrow from their Company,
       Personal Before-Tax, Personal After-Tax, Rollover and PAYSOP Accounts
       under the Plan in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Plan.

       A participant's Loan Account equals the principal amount of his or her
       loans outstanding. The principal amount of loan repayments reduce the
       Loan Account and are added back to the participant's Accounts originally
       used as the source of the loan. The repaid amount (including interest) is
       reinvested in the funds according to the participant's current investment
       authorization.

       Participants' loans are carried at the original principal amount less
       principal repayments. Participants' loan repayments receivable represent
       amounts withheld by Philip Morris from participants' compensation and not
       yet remitted to the Plan. Amounts to be disbursed under employee loan
       agreements are recorded as undistributed participants' loans as of the
       loan agreement date.

   7.  Investments Held by the Trust:

       In 1996 and 1995, ($661,000) and ($2,360,000) were transferred from the
       Plan, net of transfers into the Plan, respectively, into the DPS Plan and
       the PMI Craft Plan as a result of employees being transferred between
       hourly and salaried status or between the BCT Union and the International
       Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and other unions.

       The Plan's allocated share of the Trust's net assets and investment
       activities is based upon the total of each individual participant's share
       of the Trust. The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust and its
       approximate allocated share of the net assets of each fund in the Trust
       at December 31, 1996 and 1995, were:

       The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust's investment
       activities for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, was 22
       percent, 21 percent and 22 percent, respectively.

       Taxes and fees incurred by the Trust and most of the costs of
       administering the Plan and Trust paid to third parties are paid by the
       Trust. The following expenses are paid from the Plan's assets: investment
       management fees, brokerage commissions, trustee's fees, audit fees,
       recordkeeping fees and legal fees. For 1996 and 1995, the approximate
       amount of such expenses, expressed as a percentage of the average net
       assets of each fund under the Plan, are as follows:

                                   (concluded)

9.     Tax Status:

       The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Plan, as amended and
       in effect as of June 1, 1994, constitutes a qualified plan under Section
       401(a) of the Code and the related Trust is, therefore, exempt from
       Federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code.
       The Fiduciaries believe that the Plan continues to be administered in
       accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code.

       Therefore, participants will not be subject to income tax on the
       Contribution and before-tax contributions made on their behalf by Philip
       Morris, nor on earnings credited to their Accounts until withdrawn or
       distributed.
