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 Hourly Employees:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Long Term Savings Plan For Hourly Employees (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the related statements of income and changes in plan equity for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 and the schedule
of investments as of December 31, 1997. 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. 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,
1997 and 1996, and the income and changes in plan equity for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1997, 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 1997
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.

LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Description of the Plan:
The Long Term Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (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 to receive a matching contribution from Kraft Foods,
Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Kraft Foods"). Kraft Foods is a
subsidiary of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the "Company").
Hourly employees employed at specific locations of Kraft Foods who are not
members of a collective bargaining unit participate in the Plan, provided
they meet eligibility requirements. After completing one year of service,
eligible employees are required to make a contribution on a before-tax or
after-tax basis ("Basic Contribution") which is eligible for a matching
contribution and may also 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") are contributed to
the Plan (see 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".
Assets of the Plan are co-invested with the assets of the Kraft Foods
Thrift Plan and other defined contribution 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.

<PAGE>
LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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.
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, 1997 and 1996, there were 2,265 and 2,163 participants,
respectively, some of whom elected to invest in more than one fund effective
January 1, 1997. Set forth below is the number of participants investing in each
fund.

Each participant is at all times fully vested in the balance of his or her
After-Tax Contributions Account and Basic and Supplemental Before-Tax
Contributions Accounts. A participant shall be fully vested in the balance
in his or her Kraft Foods Matching Account upon attainment of age 65, death
while employed by Kraft Foods or any of its affiliates, upon a change in
control of the Company (see Note 3), or upon a termination of the Plan (see
Note 10). Otherwise, a participant shall become vested in his or her Kraft
Foods Matching Account based on the number of years of vesting service
determined in accordance with the following schedule:

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, 1997 and 1996 was $639,429,002 and $712,947,862,
respectively. The average yield and crediting interest rate of the
Interest Income Fund was approximately seven percent for 1997 and
1996. The crediting interest rate for the pools of mortgaged-backed
and asset-backed securities 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.

<PAGE>
LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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 on a trading day and not resumed before the end of the
trading day, the Trustee will use the composite price listed in The
Wall Street Journal on the next business day. Effective July 14, 1997,
the Trustee will use a weighted average sales price method for valuing
the portion of Participants' Accounts transferred from the Philip
Morris Stock Fund if using the closing price or composite price of
Common Stock results in a value of the Philip Morris Stock Fund which
is at least one-tenth of one percent (.1%) less than the value using
the weighted average sales price method. The weighted average sales
price method uses the average of all of the prices for which Common
Stock is sold over one or more business days as determined by the
Trustee. 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:
Eligible employees are required to make a Basic Contribution for each hour
paid by Kraft Foods. The amount of Basic Contribution required of each
participant varies depending on the work location of the participant.
Participants may also make Supplemental Contributions based on each hour
paid and may also be permitted to make Supplemental Contributions from
special lump sum payments. 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 1997, 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 1998, a participant's before-tax contributions will be limited
to $10,000.
-12-
<PAGE>
LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Kraft Foods Matching Contributions equal 100 percent of each participant's
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.
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").
The Plan provides, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan) of the Company, for the preservation of the Kraft Foods Matching
Contributions for all participants for the year in which the Change of
Control occurs and for two years thereafter.
4. Valuation of Participant Accounts:
The Committee maintains Accounts for each participant to reflect the source
and the participant's share of the funds invested in the Trust:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Account Source
------- ------
<S> <C>
Kraft Foods Matching Account Kraft Foods Matching Contributions
Basic Before-Tax Contributions Account Basic Contributions made with
before-tax contributions
After-Tax Contributions Account Basic Contributions made with
after-tax contributions
Supplemental Before-Tax Contributions Supplemental Contributions made
Account with before-tax 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, After-Tax Contributions Account and Supplemental
Before-Tax Contributions Account on the basis of their proportionate share
in each fund.
5. Distributions:
Upon termination of employment, including retirement, distribution of a
participant's Accounts is made in a lump sum. Normally, distributions are
made approximately one month after a distribution is requested or is
required under the Plan's terms.
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, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were:

</TABLE>
The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust's investment activities
for each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 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 1997 and 1996, the approximate amount of such expenses,
expressed as a percentage of the average net assets of each fund under the
Plan, are as follows:

LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(concluded)
8. Transactions with Parties in Interest:
The Fiduciaries are not aware of any transaction between the Plan and a
party in interest (as defined in ERISA) or disqualified person (as defined
in the Code) to the Plan (1) which is prohibited under the fiduciary
responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions
of the Code, or (2) which has not been exempted from such prohibitions
pursuant to a class exemption issued by the Department of Labor.
9. Tax Status:
By letter dated June 6, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service 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 Plan has been subsequently amended and no
determination as to the continued qualification of the Plan under Section
401(a) of the Code and of the exemption of the related Trust from Federal
income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code has been sought from the
Internal Revenue Service. The Fiduciaries believe that the Plan continues to
be designed and operated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
Plan's financial statements. Accordingly, 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.
10. Plan Termination:
The Board of Directors of Kraft Foods has the right, subject to the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, to amend (retroactively or
otherwise) the Plan, suspend making Kraft Foods Matching Contributions to
the Plan or to terminate the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated or
partially terminated (within the meaning of the Code), each affected
participant will become fully vested in the balance in his or her Kraft
Foods Matching Account.
