                      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 Management
    Committee for Employee Benefits of Kraft
    Foods, Inc., the Administrative Committee
    and all Participants as a group (but not individually)
    of the Long Term Savings Plan For Union Employees:


    We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Long Term Savings Plan For Union Employees (formerly known as the Oscar Mayer
Foods Corporation Long-Term Savings Plan For Union Employees and hereinafter
referred to as the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of income and changes in plan equity for each of the two 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 Kraft Foods, Inc. (or their delegates).  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 two
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.

                   LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR UNION EMPLOYEES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General Description of the Plan:

   The Long Term Savings Plan for Union Employees (formerly known as the Oscar
   Mayer Foods Corporation Long-Term Savings Plan for Union Employees and
   hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan
   designed to assist employees in saving for retirement by providing eligible
   employees with a vehicle for investing a portion of their compensation and
   for certain groups of employees to receive a matching contribution from Kraft
   Foods, Inc. (formerly known as Kraft General Foods, Inc. and hereinafter
   referred to as "Kraft Foods"). Kraft Foods is a subsidiary of Philip Morris
   Companies Inc. (the "Company").

   Employees of Kraft Foods who are members of a collective bargaining unit and
   employed at specific locations of Kraft Foods participate in the Plan,
   provided they meet eligibility requirements.  After completing one year of
   service, eligible employees represented by certain collective bargaining
   units are required to make a contribution on a before-tax or after-tax basis
   ("Basic Contribution") which is eligible for a matching contribution and
   eligible employees are permitted to make a contribution on a before-tax basis
   ("Supplemental Contribution"), in excess of their Basic Contribution, which
   is not eligible for a matching contribution.  Matching contributions by Kraft
   Foods (the "Kraft Foods Matching Contributions") on behalf of eligible
   employees required to make a Basic Contribution are contributed 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 Management
   Committee for Employee Benefits of Kraft Foods (the "Committee") comprised of
   employees of Kraft Foods. The Committee has appointed the Administrative
   Committee to handle certain Plan administration matters. The Corporate
   Employee Plans Investment Committee of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the
   "Investment Committee") is responsible for the selection of the investment
   options in which participants elect to invest their assets in the Plan and
   monitors the performance of these investment options. The Committee and the
   Investment Committee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
   "Fiduciaries".

   The Plan's assets are co-invested with the assets of the Kraft Foods Thrift
   Plan and other plans sponsored by Kraft Foods in a commingled investment fund
   known as the Kraft Foods Master Defined Contribution Trust (hereinafter
   referred to as the "Trust") for which Bankers Trust Company (the "Trustee")
   serves as the trustee (see Note 6).

   Prior to January 1, 1997, participants' Plan Accounts (see Note 4) were
   invested solely in the Interest Income Fund.  Effective January 1, 1997,
   participants have the option of investing their Plan Accounts in 25 percent
   increments in the four funds listed below.

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

      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").

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

      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.

   The Equity Index Fund and Balanced Fund are available to all eligible
   employees as of January 1, 1997.  The Philip Morris Stock Fund is available
   to eligible employees represented by a collective bargaining unit as of the
   date agreed to in the collective bargaining agreement.

   None of the foregoing funds guarantees a return to the participant. Effective
   January 1, 1997, participants may change their investment options quarterly.

   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 4,855 and 4,164 participants,
   respectively.

   while employed by Kraft Foods or any of its affiliates, or plan termination.
   A participant shall become vested in his or her Kraft Foods Matching Account

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.

     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 $712,948,000 and
     $725,034,000, 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

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
                   LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR UNION EMPLOYEES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)

    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 7).

3. Contributions:

   No Basic Contribution is required from eligible employees represented by some
   of the collective bargaining units while eligible employees represented by
   other collective bargaining units are required to make a Basic Contribution
   for each hour paid by Kraft Foods.  Basic Contributions may be made on a
   before-tax or after-tax basis.  The amount of Basic Contribution required of
   each participant varies depending on the work location of the participant.

   All eligible employees are permitted to make Supplemental Contributions. 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").

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
                   LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR UNION EMPLOYEES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)

   The Code also imposes a dollar limitation on the amount of before-tax
   contributions for a calendar year. For 1996, a participant's before-tax
   contributions (whether in the form of Basic Contributions, Supplemental
   Contributions, or a combination of the two) were limited to $9,500; for 1997,
   a participant's before-tax contributions will be limited to $9,500.

   Kraft Foods Matching Contributions equal 100 percent of a participant's
   required Basic Contributions to the Plan, subject to certain limitations
   under the Code.

   Participants' contributions are recorded in the period in which they are
   withheld by the Kraft Foods Companies.  Kraft Foods Matching Contributions
   for the year are accrued by the Plan based upon the amount to be funded each
   year in accordance with the Plan's formula noted above.

   Kraft Foods Matching Contributions are discretionary.  While Kraft Foods
   has not expressed any intent to discontinue making Kraft Foods Matching
   Contributions, it is free to do so at any time.  Kraft Foods Matching
   Contributions 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:

     Basic After-Tax Contributions Account    Basic Contributions made with after-tax 
                                               contributions

     Supplemental Before-Tax Contributions    Supplemental Contributions made with before-tax
        Account                                contributions
   </TABLE> 
 
   At the end of each calendar quarter, 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 Kraft Foods Matching Account, Basic Before-Tax Contributions
   Account, Basic After-Tax Contributions Account and Supplemental Before-Tax
   Contributions Account on the basis of their proportionate share in each fund.

                                  (continued)

5. Distributions:

   Upon termination of employment, including retirement, distribution of a
   participant's  Accounts is made in a lump sum or, in certain instances, in
   installments. Normally, distributions are made 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. Investments Held by the Trust:

   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, respectively, were:

</TABLE>

   The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust's investment activities
   for each of the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was less than one
   percent.

   All expenses incurred in administering the Plan are borne by Kraft Foods,
   with the exception of investment management fees which are paid from the
   Plan's assets.  For 1996 and 1995, the amount of such expenses expressed as a
   percentage of the Plan's average net assets was .04 percent and .02 percent,
   respectively.

   Investments that represented five percent or more of total Trust assets as of
   December 31, 1996 and 1995, were:

  8.  Tax Status:

      The U.S. Treasury Department has determined that the Plan, as amended and
      in effect as of April 1, 1992, 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 Kraft Foods
      Matching Contributions or before-tax contributions made on their behalf by
      Kraft Foods, nor on earnings credited to their Accounts until distributed.
