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 Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Philip Morris Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (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. 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
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 DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General Description of the Plan:
The Philip Morris Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan") is a defined
contribution plan maintained for the benefit of eligible non-union salaried
and hourly employees of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the "Company"), and
certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including Philip Morris Incorporated
and certain of its subsidiaries ("Philip Morris"), Miller Brewing Company
and certain of its subsidiaries ("Miller"), Philip Morris Capital
Corporation, Philip Morris Management Corp., and certain headquarters
employees of Philip Morris International Inc. (collectively, the
"Participating Companies"). The Plan is designed to provide eligible
employees with an opportunity to share in the profits of their respective
Participating Companies and to invest certain of their funds in a tax-
advantaged manner (see Note 3). Employees of Kraft Foods, Inc. and its
subsidiaries are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Eligible employees generally may make before-tax and after-tax contributions
beginning on or after the January 1 following their respective dates of
hire. Eligible employees who complete twenty-four months of accredited
service are eligible to share in their Participating Company's contribution
(the "Contribution") as 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
Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "PMI 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") for which
Bankers Trust Company (the "Trustee") serves as the trustee (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").
-9-
<PAGE>
PHILIP MORRIS DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
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.
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.
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 20, 1995, participants could change their investment elections once
each month. Effective July 10, 1995, participants normally can change their
investment elections on any business day.
Any Contribution and participant contributions made to a Plan Account
established on and after January 1, 1992, for which no investment direction
has been given are invested in the U.S. Government Obligations Fund. In all
other cases, the Contribution and any participant contributions made to a
Plan Account for which no investment direction has been given are invested
in the Equity Index Fund.

(continued)
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 13,371 and 13,049 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.
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 $1,008,934,751 and
$1,027,591,523,

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 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 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 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 the Participating Companies.
-12-
<PAGE>
PHILIP MORRIS DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 the Operating Profit (defined below) of
Philip Morris, less the amounts allocated for participants in the PMI 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 Contribution on behalf
of eligible employees of Miller who have met the twenty-four month service
requirement is an amount equal to the lesser of (1) three percent of the
Operating Profit of Miller, or (2) 15 percent of the aggregate participant
compensation for such year of the participants employed by Miller among whom
the Contribution is to be allocated.
The Contribution by Philip Morris, expressed as a uniform percentage of
aggregate participant compensation, is allocated ratably among participants
(the "Philip Morris Contribution Percentage") according to their individual
compensation. The Contribution by Miller, expressed as a uniform percentage
of aggregate participant compensation, is allocated ratably among
participants (the "Miller Contribution Percentage") according to their
individual compensation.
The Contribution on behalf of eligible employees of any other of the
Participating Companies is the greater of (1) the Philip Morris Contribution
Percentage, or (2) the Miller Contribution Percentage, multiplied in either
case by aggregate participant compensation for such year of the participants
of these other Participating Companies among whom the contribution is to be
allocated. The aggregate of the Contribution to the Plan and the
contributions to the PMI 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.
However, due to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), certain amounts for highly compensated employees are
not contributed to the Trust but are instead recorded as liabilities of the
Participating Companies.
Operating Profit is defined as the earnings of Philip Morris or Miller, as
the case may be, before cumulative effect of accounting changes,
discontinued operations, extraordinary items, interest and other debt
expense, income taxes, amortization of goodwill, any minority interest,
general corporate expenses, the amount of any deduction used in computing
such earnings for the Contribution to the Plan and the contributions to the
PMI Plan and the PMI Craft Plan, contributions to any incentive compensation
plan and effective in 1997, before such other charges as the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion,
shall determine to exclude from the Operating Profit of Philip Morris or
Miller. As permitted by the Plan, for 1997, initial settlement charges
relating to the resolution of certain litigation were excluded in
calculating the Operating Profit of Philip Morris.

PHILIP MORRIS DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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 and by Participating Company. The
aggregate contributions actually made by participants may not cause the Plan
to violate limitations on such contributions set forth in 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 contribution was
limited to $9,500, with a limitation of eight percent of compensation (11
percent in the case of employees of Miller) on the total amount of before-
tax and after-tax contributions. For 1998, a participant's before-tax
contribution will be limited to $10,000, with a limitation of ten percent of
compensation (11 percent in the case of employees of Miller) on the total
amount of before-tax and after-tax contributions.
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").
The Plan provides, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan) of the Company, for a Contribution for the year in which the Change of
Control occurs and for two years thereafter at least equal to the lesser of
(a) the percentage of participants' compensation that was contributed to the
Plan for the year prior to the year in which the Change of Control occurs or
(b) 10 percent of the participants' applicable annual compensation.
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:
Account Source
------- -------
Company Account Contributions
Personal Before-Tax Account Before-tax contributions
Personal After-Tax Account After-tax contributions
Rollover Account Amounts transferred, directly or indirectly,
from another plan qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code
PAYSOP Account The account balance transferred from the
Philip Morris Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Loan Account Outstanding loans obtained from the Plan
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.

PHILIP MORRIS DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
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.
Withdrawals by participants will not be permitted if they would have the
effect of disqualifying the Plan and the related Trust from exemption from
taxation.
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 the Participating Companies 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 1997 and 1996, $59,000 and $1,014,000 were transferred into the Plan, net
of transfers out of the Plan, respectively, from the PMI Plan and the PMI
Craft Plan as a result of employees being transferred between hourly and
salaried status.
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, were:

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 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:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(concluded)
9. 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.
10. Tax Status:
By letter dated May 1, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service 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 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 the Contribution and before-tax contributions made on their
behalf by the Participating Companies, on the making of a timely rollover
contribution to the Trust, nor on earnings credited to their Accounts until
withdrawn or distributed.
11. Plan Termination:
The Board of Directors of the Company has the right, subject to the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, to amend (retroactively or
otherwise) the Plan, suspend making the Contribution to the Plan or to
terminate the Plan. Each other Participating Company has the right to amend,
suspend or terminate its participation in the Plan.
