INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Nabisco Employee
      Benefits Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits of Nabisco, Inc. Capital Investment Plan (the "Plan") as of December
30 1999, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the period from June 14, 1999 through December 30, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December
30, 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the period
from June 14, 1999 through December 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NABISCO, INC. CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN
-------------------------------------

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

         The Nabisco, Inc. Capital Investment Plan (the "Plan") is a voluntary
         defined contribution plan for certain eligible salaried employees of
         Nabisco, Inc. ("Nabisco") and its eligible participating affiliates.
         The Plan was established effective June 14, 1999 for Nabisco employees
         maintained under the RJR Nabisco, Inc. Capital Investment Plan (RJR
         Plan) prior to the June 14, 1999 spin-off of Nabisco from RJR Nabisco.
         The account balances retained under the RJR Plan, attributable to
         eligible Nabisco employees, and forfeitures attributable to individuals
         who terminated employment prior to June 14, 1999, but would have been
         employees of Nabisco or its affiliates on June 14, 1999 but for such
         termination of employment, have been transferred to the Plan. Employees
         may contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 16% of their
         compensation. The Plan allows participants to make after-tax
         contributions up to 16% regardless of whether or not pre-tax
         contributions are made, providing the combined percentage of
         compensation for pre-tax and/or after-tax contributions is a minimum of
         1% and a maximum of 16%. Nabisco makes matching contributions to the
         Plan equal to 50% of each participant's basic contribution (basic
         contribution is 1% to 6% of compensation made on a pre-tax basis).
         Pre-tax contributions in excess of 6% of compensation and contributions
         made on an after-tax basis shall not be matched. Forfeitures of
         non-vested Nabisco contributions are used to reduce future Nabisco
         contributions to the Plan. Although it has not expressed any intent to
         do so, Nabisco has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
         contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the
         provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants
         will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

         Effective June 14, 1999, the assets attributable to the eligible
         salaried employees of the RJR plan were spun-off and transferred to
         establish the Plan. As a result, net assets of $885,887,186, including
         loans of $13,999,041 were transferred to establish the Plan in June,
         1999.

         The Loan Fund is a recordkeeping fund that holds employee promissory
         notes. Participants may apply to the Nabisco Employee Benefits
         Committee (the "Committee") to borrow vested funds from their account.
         The Committee maintains sole discretion on whether to permit a loan in
         accordance with the conditions specified under the terms of the Plan
         agreement. Loans may not be less than $1,000 and are subject to a
         maximum amount based on account balance and prior loan amounts. Only
         one loan per participant may be outstanding at any given time.

         Under the provisions of the Plan, participating employees may elect to
         invest their contributions in one or more of the following investment
         funds (see explanation of commingled funds in Note 2):

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN - CONTINUED

Continuing Funds:

         Interest Income Fund          The Interest Income Fund seeks to achieve
                                       long-term growth in assets through
                                       compounding of interest income. This Fund
                                       consists largely of a diversified
                                       portfolio of investment contracts issued
                                       by insurance companies and banks
                                       ("GICs"). The Fund also invests in what
                                       are known as synthetic GICs -
                                       fixed-income securities such as
                                       high-grade bonds, mortgage-backed
                                       securities, or asset-backed securities
                                       that are "wrapped" by a contract with a
                                       high-quality financial institution. A
                                       "wrap" contract assures the book value of
                                       the underlying security. The combination
                                       of GICs and synthetic GICs make up about
                                       75% of the Fund. The remainder of the
                                       Fund consists of a fixed-income
                                       Government Bond Index Fund with an
                                       average maturity of 1 to 3 years. This
                                       index fund invests in U.S. Treasuries and
                                       Government Agency securities. This Fund
                                       also maintains a very small level of cash
                                       to provide liquidity in processing daily
                                       transactions.

         Total Stock Market Fund       The Total Stock Market Fund seeks to
                                       maximize long-term financial return
                                       through a combination of dividend income
                                       and capital appreciation by investing in
                                       a broadly diversified portfolio of common
                                       stock. The objective of this Fund is to
                                       capture the return of the total U.S.
                                       stock market for the investor. This Fund
                                       is designed to parallel the returns of
                                       the U.S. stock market through passive
                                       investment in the Vanguard Index Trust -
                                       Total Stock Market Portfolio. The
                                       portfolio holds stocks of nearly 2,000
                                       companies in an effort to match the
                                       performance and risk characteristics of
                                       the entire U.S. Stock market as
                                       represented by the Wilshire 5000 Index.
                                       The Fund will also maintain a very small
                                       level of cash to provide for liquidity in
                                       processing daily transactions.

         Total International Fund      The Total International Fund seeks to
                                       maximize long-term total return through
                                       a combination of dividend income and
                                       capital appreciation by investing in a
                                       broadly diversified portfolio of
                                       companies located in

                                       through compounding of interest income
                                       and secondarily through dividend income
                                       and capital appreciation of common
                                       stocks. The Fund provides investors with
                                       a conservative mix of broadly diversified
                                       investments in fixed-income securities
                                       and U.S. and International common stocks.
                                       This Fund invests in the Vanguard
                                       LifeStrategy Conservative Portfolio which
                                       invests in a combination of Vanguard
                                       funds to achieve a target mix of 40%
                                       stocks, 40% bonds, and 20% short-term
                                       reserves. Bonds and short-term reserves
                                       provide income while offsetting some of
                                       the stock market's volatility; stocks
                                       offer the potential for growth and income
                                       from dividends. The Fund will also
                                       maintain a very small level of cash to
                                       provide for liquidity in processing daily
                                       transactions.

         Moderate Growth Fund          The Moderate Growth Fund seeks to
                                       maximize long-term total return through a
                                       combination of compounding of interest
                                       income and through dividend income and
                                       capital appreciation of common stock. The
                                       Fund provides investors with a moderate
                                       mix of broadly diversified investment of
                                       U.S. and International common stocks and
                                       fixed-income securities. This Fund
                                       invests in the Vanguard LifeStrategy
                                       Moderate Growth Portfolio which invests
                                       in a combination of Vanguard funds to
                                       achieve a target mix of 60% stocks and
                                       40% bonds. Bonds provide income while
                                       offsetting some of the stock market's
                                       volatility; stocks offer the potential
                                       for growth and income from dividends. The
                                       Fund will also maintain a very small
                                       level of cash to provide for liquidity in
                                       processing daily transactions.

         Loan Fund                     Participant borrowings from the Plan
                                       subject to requirements established by
                                       the Committee.

         Additional information about the Plan agreement and the vesting and
         benefit provisions is contained in the Summary Plan Description
         provided to participants.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         COMMINGLED FUNDS - The Nabisco, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust
         (the "Trust") administers pooled assets and related liabilities within
         various funds established on behalf of participating defined
         contribution plans for employees of Nabisco and affiliated companies.
         Each participating defined contribution plan owns an interest in the
         fair value of net assets held in the Trust. The trustee and custodian
         of the Trust is Wachovia Bank, N.A.

         VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS IN MASTER TRUST - All investments held by the
         Trust are valued at fair value as follows. Securities that are traded
         on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales
         price on the last business day of the Plan year. Over-the-counter
         investments traded on the NASDAQ and listed securities for which no
         sale was reported on the last business day of the Plan year are valued
         at the average of the last reported bid and ask prices. All other
         over-the-counter investments are valued at the last reported bid. The
         fair market value of fixed income investments is based on an
         institutional based pricing system. Investment grade bonds are valued
         on a pricing system based on treasury securities. The fair market value
         of the participation units in common trust funds is based on quoted
         redemption value on the last business day of the Plan year. Guaranteed
         investment contracts are valued at contract value plus accrued
         interest.

         PLAN EXPENSES - Expenses relating to the purchase or sale of
         investments are included in the cost or deducted from the proceeds,
         respectively. Direct charges and expenses including investment manager
         fees attributable to specific investment funds may be charged against
         that investment fund. Other Plan expenses such as trustee, auditor,
         general Plan recordkeeping, and Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") user
         fees may be paid directly from the Trust. Other expenses continue to be
         paid by Nabisco.

         USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
         statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
         reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         In September 1999, The American Institute of Certified Public
         Accountants issued Statement of Position No. 99-3(SOP 99-3),
         "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan
         Investments and Other Disclosure Matters". Effective for fiscal year
         1999, the Plan adopted (SOP 99-3), which simplifies disclosures for
         certain participant directed investments. Accordingly, information
         for both 1999 and 1998 are presented in the aggregate for all related
         funds.

4.       EMPLOYEE WITHDRAWALS

         At December 30, 1999, employee withdrawal requests of $2,429,474 were
         not accrued in accordance with the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide
         "Audits of Employee Benefit Plans".

5.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Plan has not yet received a determination letter from the Internal
         Revenue Service ("IRS") that the Plan and related Trust are designed in
         accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the
         "Code"). However, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is
         currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements
         of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included
         in the Plan's financial statements.

6.       NET TRANSFERS TO THE PLAN

         During 1999, net transfers of assets of $884,517,685 were made to the
         Plan primarily due to the split of the RJRN CIP Plan, with the
         remainder due to company divestitures and employees transferring
         between affiliated plans.
