                      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
    for Craft Employees:

    We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the
Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Craft 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.  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 INCORPORATED DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
                              FOR CRAFT EMPLOYEES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        

1. General Description of the Plan:

   The Philip Morris Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan for Craft
   Employees (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan maintained for the
   benefit of eligible employees of Philip Morris Incorporated ("Philip
   Morris"), represented by the International Association of Machinists and
   Aerospace Workers and other unions (collectively, the "Craft Unions"). 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 (see Note 3).

   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
   Incorporated Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "PMI Plan") and the assets of
   the Philip Morris Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan (the "DPS 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 10 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").

                         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.

   Participant contributions made to a Plan Account established on and after
   April 1, 1992 and any Contribution made on and after April 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, 1997 and 1996, there were 1,341 and 1,304 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.

   Each participant is at all times fully vested in the balance of all of his or
   her Accounts, which includes a Company Account and may include Personal
   Before-Tax, Personal After-Tax, Rollover and PAYSOP Accounts.

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

            PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED DEFERRED PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
                              FOR CRAFT EMPLOYEES
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)
                                        
        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).

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (continued)
                                        

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.

   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 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 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 provision for
   deferred profit-sharing and incentive compensation plans.

   Operating Profit is defined as the earnings of Philip Morris, 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 DPS Plan and the PMI
   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 Operating Profit. As permitted by the Plan, for 1997, initial settlement
   charges relating to the resolution of certain litigation were excluded in
   calculating Operating Profit.

   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 1997, each
   participant's before-tax contribution was limited to $9,500, with a
   limitation of eight percent of compensation on the total amount of before-tax
   and after-tax contributions.  For 1998, each participant's before-tax
   contribution will be limited to $10,000, with a limitation of ten percent of
   compensation 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").

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 Union Employees'
                                           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.

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.

   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 withdrawal
   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 1997, $254,000 was transferred into the Plan, net of transfers out of the
   Plan, from the DPS Plan and the PMI Plan. In 1996, ($353,000) was transferred
   out of the Plan, net of transfers into the Plan, to the DPS Plan and the PMI
   Plan. These transfers were a result of employees being transferred between
   hourly and salaried status or between the Craft Unions and the Bakery,
   Confectionery and Tobacco Workers Union.

   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:

   The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust's investment activities
   for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, was seven percent,
   eight percent and eight 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 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:

                              FOR CRAFT EMPLOYEES
                         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 April 18, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service has determined
    that the Plan, as originally adopted and 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 Philip Morris, 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.
