(b) Based on the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year adjusted, for periods prior to the poolings of interests described in Note 1 to the financial statements, for shares issued in such poolings of interests. For the three months ended March 31, 1967, consolidated net sales were $130,993,773 and con- solidated net earnings were $6,159,811 ($.92 per common share), as compared with $115,925,297 and $5,271,286 ($.76 per common share), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 1966. These comparative figures are unaudited, but the Company believes that all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods. Such interim data are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1967. 4 Cb ~ ~ ~ Q W (J1 w'~

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3-Pandick Press, Inc.-May 9, 1967 Products BUSINESS Cigarettes-Cigarettes represented approximately 90% of consolidated net sales in 1966. The principal filter cigarette brands of the Company are KENT. NEWPORT (menthol), TRUE and TRUE (menthol) OLD GOLD Filters, SPRING (menthol) and YORK and the principal non-filter cigarette brand is OLD GOLD Straights. Other Tobacco Products-The Company's more important smoking tobacco brands are BRIGGs, UNION LEADER, FRIENDS, INDIA HOUSE, LUXEMBOURG and BURGUNDY. Its chewing tobacco brands are BEECH-NUT, BAGPIPE and HAVANA BLOSSOM. The Company's little cigar brands are BETWEEN THE ACTS, MADISON and filter-tipped OMeGA, and it also markets a small cigar brand, ERIK. The Company's wbolly-owned subsidiary, Federal Tin and Paper Products, Inc., manufactures metal and paper packaging for a variety of products. Recent Acquisitions On February 24, 1965, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company, now known as Usen Products Company, acquired substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill of Usen Canning Co., a Massachusetts corporation, and assumed substantially all of its liabilities in exchange for 156,250 shares of the Common Stock of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the "pooling of interests" concept. The acquired corporation was a leading producer of canned cat food with a national distribution of its Tabby and 3 Little Kittens brands. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of reorganization under which the transaction was effected, the Massachusetts corporation immediately changed its name and distributed in liquidation the shares of the Company's Common Stock which it received to its sole stockholder, Irving Usen (see "Selling Stock- holder" herein). Mr. Usen subsequently transferred some of these shares to the Robert D. Usen Family Trust, established by his son, Robert D. Usen, who became President of the subsidiary, a position he held with the predecessor corporation. On November 8, 1965, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company named Golden Nugget Candy Company acquired for cash certain of the assets and the business and goodwill as a going con- cern of Golden Nugget Sweets, Ltd., a California corporation. The acquired corporation principally produced five-cent nougat candy bars with distribution of its BIG Hurttc and Loog bars in eleven Western states. On April 5, 1966, a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company named Reed Candy Com- pany acquired substantially all of the assets, business and goodwill as a going concern of Reed Candy Company, an Illinois corporation, and assumed certain of its liabilities in exchange for shares of the Common Stock of the Company. For accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the "pooling of interests" concept. The acquired corporation produced packaged hard candies and rolls under the REEn's label. 5 GD W LJ 0 0 W ~ CJt

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 9, 1967 Competition All of the Company's products are sold in highly competitive markets. The following table, which sets forth the total unit production of all cigarettes in the United States and the total unit sales of all cigarettes by the Company, indicates the relative position in the industry of the Company: Calendar Year Industry* (000) Company (000) Comopant Indastry 1962 ............. ............. 535,495,698 57,140,415 10.7% 1963 ......... .................. ... 550,558,727 57,168,726 10.4%'0 1964 ................................ 540,906,845 50,941,646 9.4% 1965_ .......... ............... 556,806,053 51,211,701 9.2% 1966 .......................... .... 567,264,483 - 9.4% * Source: Reports and bulletins of Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The Company for many years has occupied a leading position in the scrap chewing tobacco field. The Company's little cigar brands, MADISON, BETWEEN THE ACTs, and filter-tipped OMEGA, accounted for a substantial share of the total little cigar market in 1966. The Company believes that ERIK similarly accounts for a substantial share of the total small cigar market. On the basis of information currently available, the Company ranks among the major producers of tobacco products in the country. Advertising The Company's principal brands are advertised and promoted extensively. Advertising and sales promotion expenses, accordingly, have been substantial during the past years, and the policy of the Company is to continue substantial expenditures for these purposes. The advertising media used by the Company include television, radio, magazines, newspapers, outdoor advertising and point-of-sale display materials. [Possible reference to Gift Stars] Sales pro- motion activities are carried on by the Company through salesmen by distribution of samples, point-of- sale display advertising and personal contact with distributors, retailers and consumers. The Company's as well as the industry's sales of cigarettes declined following the publication in January 1964 of the report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General, which purported to associate smoking with a number of diseases. (See "Statement of Consolidated Earnings" herein.) Pursuant to Federal legislation, effective January 1, 1966, packages of cigarettes are required to bear the following statement: "Caution: Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health." The same legislation also provided that no statement relating to smoking and health would be required in cigarette advertising, if the packages of such cigarettes were labelled in conformity with its provisions. Such regulation of cigarette advertising will terminate on July 1, 1969. The Secretary of Health, Educa- tion and Welfare is directed by such legislation to transmit a report to Congress not later than July 1, 1967 and annually thereafter, concerning (A) current information on the health consequences of smoking and (B) such recommendations for legislation as he may deem appropriate. The Federal Trade Commission is also directed to submit a report to Congress at the same time concerning (A) the 6 ~ ~ W O O W N ~

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 9, 1967 effectiveness of cigarette labeling, (B) current practices and methods of cigarette advertising and pro- motion and (C) such recommendations for legislation as it may deem appropriate. The nine leading manufacturers of cigarettes in the United States, including the Company, volun- tarily established a Cigarette Advertising Code, effective January 1, 1965, which imposed uniform stand- ards for cigarette advertising for the member companies. Under the Code, no advertising may be used unless it has first been submitted to an independent Code Administrator and determined by him to comply with the Code standards which relate primarily to such matters as health representations and advertise- ments directed towards persons under twenty-one years of age. On March 25, 1966, the Federal Trade Commission announced that a factual statement of the tar and nicotine content in cigarette smoke on cigarette labels and advertising would not violate its Cigarette Advertising Guides provided no collateral representation is made as to reduction or elimination of health hazards. As the Company believed that the Commission's policy as expressed in such announcement provided a greater opportunity to develop and market cigarettes low in tar and nicotine content for those consumers who desire such products, the Company resigned from the Code. In so resigning, the Company stated that it still intended to adhere to the principles underlying the Code's limitations on advertising to youth. It is the intention of the Company to utilize data regarding tar and nicotine content in cigarette smoke wherever appropriate in future advertising. [Possible reference to proposed bill regarding tar and nicotine content] It is not possible to predict the effect of the foregoing developments on the Company's sales and earnings. Distribution Methods The Company secures its products distribution through direct sales to jobbers who in turn service retail outlets, and through chain store organizations and vending machine operators who purchase their requirements directly. The Company's tobacco products are stocked in public warehouses throughout the country to provide for quick distribution to customers. International About 8% of the Company's total unit sales of cigarettes in 1966 were manufactured in the United States and exported. Such export sales were made directly by the Company and through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, P. Lorillard Pan American, Inc., a Western Hemisphere Trade Corporation, which services marketing areas in Central and South America and Canada, and P. Lorillard International S. A., Zug, Switzerland, which primarily services the marketing areas of Europe and Africa. License agreements have been entered into with thirteen cigarette manufacturers in foreign countries for the manufacture and sale of the Company's products on a royalty basis. P. Lorillard Limited, owned jointly by P. Lori.llard International S. A. and the stockholders of the Company's former licensee and manu. facturer in Hong Kong, manufactures certain of the Company's brands and other cigarettes for markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. P. Lorillard s.a r.l., a Luxembourg corporation jointly owned by P. Lorillard International S. A. and the Company's former licensee and manufacturer in Luxembourg, also manufactures certain of the Company's brands for markets in the Benelux countries, France and Italy. For further information concerning P. Lorillard s.a r.1., reference is made to material 7

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc -May 8, 1967 appearing under the caption "Management". In 1966, the number of cigarettes manufactured abroad by such affiliates and by other licensees exceeded the export unit sales from the United States. In several countries ownership of some of the Company's brands is claimed by others and in several other countries prior registrations of the name "KENT", or a variation thereof, are claimed by others. Tobacco and Tobacco Prices The two main classes of tobacco grown in the United States are flue-cured tobacco, grown mostly in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida; and burley, grown mostly in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Company purchases flue-cured tobacco primarily for use in cigarettes and purchases burley tobacco for use in cigarettes and smoking tobacco. The Company also purchases Maryland tobacco for use in cigarettes and cigars. Most of the tobacco of these classes used by the Company is purchased by its own buyers and commission buyers at tobacco auctions. The Company also purchases various types of Near Eastern tobacco, most of which is grown in Turkey and Greece. [Possible reference to other sources] In addition, the Company uses seed leaf tobacco, which is grown mostly in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, in the manufacture of various brands of chewing tobacco and cigars. These tobaccos are largely purchased directly from the growers by Company representatives. Due to varying size and quality of the annual crops and other economic factors, tobacco prices have in the past been subject to wide fluctuations. Among those economic factors are government control of acreage-poundage in the flue-cured producing areas and acreage control in the burley areas. These controls together with support prices substantially affect the market prices of tobacco. In the five years ending 1966, the average market price per pound for flue-cured tobacco increased from cents to cents or %. Over the same period, the average market price per pound for burley leaf increased from cents to cents or %. The flue-cured tobacco crop in 1966 was about 1,102 million pounds as compared with 1,059 million pounds in 1965. The government support price increased from 57.7 cents per pound to 58.8 cents per pound, and the average market price increased to cents per pound compared with 64.7 cents in 1965. The burley crop in 1966 was about 550 million pounds compared with 586 million pounds in 1965. The government support price increased to 60.6 cents per pound from 59.5 cents in 1965, and the average market price was increased to cents per pound, compared with 66.8 cents in 1965. In addition to purchases at auction warehouses, the Company purchased in each of the years 1962 through 1966 substantial quantities of aged tobacco from various sources, principally cooperatives financed under the Commodity Credit Corporation program, to supplement tobacco inventories during those years. The Company believes that its current leaf inventories are adequately balanced for its present production requirements. In view of the fact that the process of aging tobacco normally requires approximately two years, the Company at all times has on hand large quantities of leaf tobacco. In accordance with generally recognized trade practice, the Company averages the cost of tobacco in inventory and charges to the cost of current production the tobacco used from inventory at the then average cost. Accordingly, increases or decreases in prices paid for tobacco currently purchased are reflected only partly in current production costs. 8 GO W W O O W W X

875-P. Lordlard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Borrowings The cash requirements of the Company are usually at a maximum between September and March, because of heavy leaf buying during this period, and at a minimum in the summer, prior to such buying season. It is customary in the industry to borrow short term funds in order to finance these seasonal purchases of leaf tobacco. During 1966 short-term borrowings ranged between a minimum and maximum of $10,900,000 and $49,900,000, respectively. Such short-term borrowings on March 31, 1967 were $ 31,400,000. Prices Sales The list price of the Company's filter and non-filter king-size and 100 mm. filter cigarettes is $9.20 per thousand and of non-filter regular size is $9.00 per thousand. Such figures reflect a price increase of $.20 per thousand effective March, 1966. The prices include Federal excise tax at the rate of $4 per thousand and are subject to the usual 2% cash discount if paid within ten days. State and Local Taxes At April 30, 1967, excise taxes on cigarettes, which are levied upon and paid by the distributors, were in effect in forty-nine States, the District of Columbia and a number of municipalities. Such taxes, many of which have been increased in recent years, range from two cents to fifteen cents per package of twenty cigarettes. Employees On April 30, 1967, the Company had approximately employees, of whom approximately .. were hourly rated production and service employees covered by collective bargaining agreements with affiliates of the AFL-CIO and some independent craft unions. The remaining .... employees are other hourly rated personnel or are salaried employees serving in executive, administrative, engineer- ing, supervisory, production and clerical capacities. On January 1, 1965, a three-year contract relating to cigarette operations was entered into with the Tobacco Workers' International Union AFL-CIO. [Refer to employee benefits with possible reference to notes in financial statements regarding pension plans.] PROPERTY The properties of the Company are employed generally in the processing and storing of tobacco and in the manufacture of the Company's tobacco products and storage of such manufactured products. Its principal properties are owned in fee and are located as set forth below. With minor exceptions, all machinery used by the Company is owned by it. All properties are in good condition, and the cigarette-making machinery and the cigarette-wrapping and packing machinery are of modern design and of high-speed type. The Company has plants for manufacture of its tobacco products at Greensboro, North Carolina, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Greensboro plant is devoted exclusively to the manufacture of cigarettes and is a modern, one-story air-conditioned building covering thirteen acres of a plot of approximately eighty acres. The Louisville plant, which is a multi-storied building occupying approximately twelve acres of a plot of about twenty-four acres, is utilized for the manufacture of cigarettes, as well as little cigars, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco. 9 .__ ./np-.___..

(2) The Company has an agreement which, as renewed, terminates on November 30, 1967, with Mr. Gruber, who retired November 30, 1964, and whose retirement payments started as of that date. Under such agreement, payments at the rate of $25,000 per year are being made to Mr. Gruber for consulting services. On retirement, Mr. Gruber commenced to receive contingent compensation awarded over a period of prior years consisting of the annual release of escrowed shares referred to on page and the payment of $2,512 a month. The foregoing table reflects all current awards for 1966 to directors and officers under the Company's incentive compensation plan. Contingent awards of incentive compensation for 1964 and subsequent years under an amendment to the plan approved by the stockholders in 1966 are contingently payable in three equal annual instalments, commencing with the second year following the year for which the awards are made, if earned out by continued services and, in the event of retirement or other approved termination of employment, if requirements as to non-competition and conduct not prejudicial to the Company are complied with. Contingent awards for 1966 to the directors and officers referred to in the foregoing table, payable in annual instalments in each of the years 1968, 1969 and 1970. if earned out, were as follows: Mr. Bennett, $29,976; Mr. Darby, $3,394; Mr. Davies, $22,065; Mr. Erickson, $25,398; Mr. Jordan, $25,298; Mr. Levathes, $12,077; Mr. Okerson, $26,648; Miss Woessner, $3,333; Mr. Yellen, $39,553; and directors and officers as a group, $194,406. Contingent awards for years prior to 1964 were contingently payable following termination of employment over a period of fifteen years (ten years in the case of contingent awards for years prior to 1960). The amounts so contingently payable to the directors and officers referred to in the foregoing table during each of the fifteen years following termination (and, in parentheses, where applicable, any additional amount payable during each of the ten years following termination of employment) are as follows: Mr. Bennett, $4,682; Mr. Darby, $1,571 ($500); Mr. Davies, $4,682; Mr. Erickson, $5,015; Mr. Jordan, $1,835 ($388); Mr. Okerson, $250; Mr. Yellen, $4,682; and directors and officers as a group, $45,747 ($9,176). All the remuneration set forth was received by, or is contingently payable to, the persons named in their capacities as officers or employees of the Company. The Company has applied for an insurance policy, to be paid for by it, indemnifying it in respect of its liabilities and expenses arising under by-law or statutory provisions pursuant to which directors and officers are indemnified against liabilities and expenses, and for an additional insurance policy, to be paid for by the directors and officers, indemnifying them against certain other liabilities and expenses.

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Transactions with Directors and Officers Mr. Meyer, a director of the Company, is President of Heintz van Landewyck, s.a.r.1., a Luxem- bourg tobacco manufacturer, all of the share capital of which is owned by Mr. Meyer and members of his family. P. Lorillard International S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Heintz van Landewyck s.a.r.l. each own a one-half interest in P. Lorillard s.a.r.l., a Luxembourg corporation, which, since April, 1964, has manufactured and sold under license certain of the Company's brands for several of the Common Market countries. On August 21, 1964, the Company purchased 4,600 shares from Mr. Gruber, a director of the Company, at a purchase price of $46.125 per share, which were used as a part of the consideration given in connection with the acquisition of the business of Usen Canning Co. (See "Business" herein.) On such date, the mean between the highest and lowest selling prices on the New York Stock Exchange was $46.75 per share. The law firm of Stassen, Kephart, Sarkis & Kostos, or predecessor firms (of which Mr. Stassen, a director of the Company, was a partner) were paid $35,975, $39,300 and $33,825 for legal services in international matters in 1964, 1965 and 1966, respectively. OPTIONS Restricted Stock Option Plan In October, 1957, the Company adopted a Restricted Stock Option Plan (the 1957 Plan), which provides for the granting to key employees of the Company, including officers, of restricted stock options (as defined in Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) to acquire shares of Common Stock of the Company. The 1957 Plan specifies a maximum term for options granted thereunder of ten years from the date of grant and all outstanding options are for a term of ten years. Each outstanding option agreement contains a provision under which the employee agrees to remain in the employ of the Company for at least two years. Except under specified circumstances, an employee is not permitted, within two years after the date upon which an option shall have been exercised with respect to any share, to make a sale or other disposition of such share within the meaning of Section 425(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended by the Revenue Act of 1964. The Company believes that, under such Revenue Act, certain changes will be required in any option hereafter granted under the 1957 Plan if such options are to be treated as "qualified stock options". As of April 25, 1967, 31 key employees, including 13 officers, held options to purchase an aggregate of 33,100 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Of these, options for 2,100 shares were granted on September 18, 1959, at the price of $39.50 per share and options for 31,000 shares were granted on June 20, 1962, at $43.50 per share. In each case the option price was not less than 95% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted. Included in the options granted in 1959 were options for a total of 2,100 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including an option for 900 shares held by Mr. Jordan and an option for 1,000 shares held by Miss Woessner. Included in the options granted in 1962 were options for a total of 17,500 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including options held by the following: Mr. Bennett, 3,000 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 1,000 shares; Mr. Okerson, 2,000 shares; and Miss Woessner, 500 shares. 13 W Cd W O O W ~ W

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3-Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan In April, 1963, the Company adopted a Stock Purchase, Option and Incentive Plan (the 1963 Plan) under which the Company's Common Stock may be sold through stock purchase or subscription arrangements or through stock options to key employees, including officers, of the Company. The stock option provisions under the 1963 Plan are generally similar to those in the 1957 Plan except that, among other things, the option price must be equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. As of April 25, 1967, 47 key employees, including 16 officers, held options under the 1963 Plan to purchase an aggregate of 83,400 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Of these, options for 30.200 shares were granted on July 31, 1963 for a period of ten years at the price of $44.75 per share and options for 53,200 shares were eranted on December 1, 1965 for a period of five years at the price of $45 per share. In each case the option price was not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the option was granted. Included in options eranted in 1963 were options for a total of 15,400 shares to persons who were officers or directors, including options held by the followine: Mr. Bennett, 3.000 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 2,000 shares; and Mr. Okerson, 1,000 shares. Included in the options granted in 1965 were options for a total of 46,600 shares to persons who were officers and directors includin, options held by the following: Mr. Bennett, 7.500 shares; Mr. Darby, 1,000 shares; Mr. Davies, 6,000 shares; Mr. Erickson, 3,000 shares; Mr. Jordan, 5,000 shares; Mr. Levathes, 5.000 shares; Mr. Okerson, 5,000 shares; and Mr. Yellen, 10,000 shares. Under the 1963 grants, the stock purchase arrangement provides for the immediate sale and transfer of shares, with ten per cent of the purchase price (but not less than $5 per share) to be paid forthwith, annual instalments of approximately two and one-half per cent to be paid thereafter, the unpaid balance to be paid in July, 1968 (with right of prepayment) and simple interest payable to the Company on the unpaid balance of the purchase price. The employee is entitled to all dividends on the stock. The stock is held as collateral, subiect to being returned to the Company if the purchase price is not paid before the end of the period in July, 1968, without refund of any payments made or release of shares equivalent to such payments, but with no further liability on the part of the employee. If employment is terminated under certain circumstances within two years after the purchase agreement is made, the Company is entitled to repurchase all shares for the amounts paid by the employee exclusive of interest. Thirty-two employees agreed to purchase a total of 17,950 shares at $44.75 per share under this arrangement during 1964 and such shares were all sold and transferred upon receipt by the Company of the required down payment of $5 a share. Included among the employees agreeing to purchase shares under the stock purchase arrangement were the following directors and officers: Mr. Bennett, 500 shares; Mr. Davies, 3,500 shares; Mr. Erickson, 500 shares; Mr. Okerson, 500 shares; Mr. Yellen, 3,500 shares; directors and officers as a group, 9,900 shares. Miss Woessner was granted and exercised a stock purchase right on December 1. 1965 for 500 shares at $45 per share under an arrangement similar to those granted in 1963, except that principal payments of approximately four per cent per annum must be paid, with the unpaid balance due in November, 1970. The approximate amounts of the purchase price remainine unpaid as of February 1, 1967 were as follows: Mr. Bennett, $18,500; Mr. Davies, $130,000; Mr. Erickson, $18,500; Mr. Okerson, $18,500; Miss Woessner, $19,000; and Mr. Yellen, $130,000.

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3-Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS By decree dated November 16, 1911, of the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, in a suit entitled United States of America vs. The American Tobacco Company and others, under the Sherman Act, each of fourteen corporations, including the Company, was prohibited from taking specified action, including (1) making transfers of its property to any other of those cor- porations, (2) making any agreements of specified types with any other of those corporations, including agreements relative to the control or management thereof, relative to the price or terms of purchase or sale of tobacco or tobacco products and relative to the apportionment among those corporations of trade or business either as to customers or localities, (3) holding stock in a corporation whose stock is also held by another of those corporations and (4), with stated exceptions, requiring a jobber to buy another brand or brands from such corporation in order to be able to buy a p9rticular brand. The Company is a defendant, along with one or more other tobacco manufacturers, in four cases which involve claims that the respective plaintiff or plaintiffs' decedents contracted cancer or other involvement of the lung or throat as a result of the use of tobacco products. Damages which range from $9,999 to $1,820,000 in three of such cases and $6,000,000 in the fourth are alleged, none of which has yet been tried. DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK The following statements are brief summaries of certain provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended, and certain provisions contained in indentures of the Com- pany. Such statements do not purport to be complete, are subject in all respects to the full provisions of the documents mentioned, and, except as otherwise stated, do not relate to or give effect to provisions of statutory or common law. Dividend Rights. Dividends may be declared and paid on the Common Stock after all accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid, if in the judgment of the Board of Directors the surplus or net profits are sufficient for such purpose after deducting such sum, if any, as shall have been reserved as working capital and the amount of dividends to accrue on the Preferred Stock during the current year. The holders of the Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of the Common Stock, are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 7% per annum of the par value thereof. Restrictions on Payment of Dividends. Certain restrictions on the payment of dividends on the Common Stock are contained in the Indenture dated March 1, 1951, the Indenture dated April 1, 1953 and the Indenture dated June 1, 1961, under which Debentures were issued. Such restrictions prevent the Company from making certain payments, including cash dividends upon its Common Stock, if the aggregate of such payments made after a date specified in the applicable document would exceed by more than an amount specified in such document the aggregate of (a) the consolidated net income of the Company and its subsidiaries during the period from such date to the making of such payment and (b) the proceeds of the sale of capital stock (other than, in the case of each Indenture except the last- mentioned, Common Stock which was being sold at the time such Indenture was being entered into). At December 31, 1966, retained earnings available for dividends on Common Stock, under the most stringent of those restrictions, was approximately $74,000,000. 15

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc -May 9, 1967 Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Preferred Stock held. Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation or dissolution or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary), after payment to the holders of the Preferred Stock of par of $100 per share plus unpaid accumulated dividends, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata al] the remaining assets of the Company. Other Rights and Provisions. Neither the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, nor the By-Laws contain any provisions with respect to preemptive rights. In the opinion of New Jersey counsel, the holders of Common Stock have preemptive rights with respect to the authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock issued and sold for cash; provided, however, that preemptive rights may be denied with respect to shares issued pursuant to a duly approved plan for the sale or issuance of Common Stock to employees and those actively engaged in the conduct of the Company's business if such plan is in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. The shares of Common Stock issued under the 1957 Plan and the 1963 Plan (see "Options" herein) may be issued exempt from existing preemptive ri-hts. The Common Stock has no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions. There is no restriction on the repurchase of shares by the Company while there is an arrearage in the payment of dividends. The Common Stock, when issued for full consideration, is fully paid and nonassessable.

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 P. LORILLARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Three Years ended December 31, 1966 ( 1) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND ACQUISITIONS The financial statements include the Company and its subsidiary companies all of which are wholly-owned. The financial statements of the Swiss subsidiary were translated into United States currency at the approximate rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the balance sheet, there having been no material fluctuation in such rate since organization of the subsidiary. At December 31, 1966 the net assets of the subsidiaries exceeded the amount at which the investments are carried on the books of the Company by $13,965,944, which amount represents undistributed earnings since date of acquisition or organization and has been included in earnings retained for use in the business. On February 24, 1965 and April 5, 1966, respectively, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company acquired the business and substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the liabilities of Usen Canning Co. (Usen) and Reed Candy Company (Reed). In consideration, the Company issued to Usen 156,250 of its common stock (of which 74,056 were unissued shares and 82,194 were treasury shares) and to Reed 74,913 shares of its common treasury stock. These transactions have been accounted for as poolings of interests and, accordingly, in the accompanying financial statements the accounts of Usen and Reed have been combined with those of the Company. The excess of the cost of the treasury shares issued plus expenses of pooling over the stated value of the capital stocks of the pooled companies has been charged in part to additional paid-in capital and in part to retained earnings as shown in the accompanying statement of consolidated surplus. On November 8, 1965, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company purchased the business and certain assets of Golden Nugget Sweets, Ltd. Of the total cost, $2,157,421 was allocated to trade-marks and goodwill. (2) INVENTORIES The entire inventory of leaf tobacco has been classified as a current asset in accordance with a generally recognized trade practice although, due to the duration of aging processes, the tobacco on hand includes requirements beyond the period of one year. It is not practicable to determine the amount not realizable within one year. Inventories at the beginning and end of each of the years 1964-1966, inclusive, priced at average cost, were as follows: December 31, 1963, $253,999,259; 1964, $256,802,654; 1965, $252,458,806; 1966, $241,390,612. (3) DEPRECIATION It is the policy of the companies to provide for depreciation based on the estimated useful lives and cost of the various classes of property. With the exception of certain equipment (cost at December 31, 1966 approximately $4,900,000), depreciation on which is provided on a unit of production basis, the provisions for depreciation have been computed on a straight-line method at, with minor exceptions, the following annual rates: Buildings and building equipment-principal items, 2%, other items, 5%; machinery and equipment-principal items, 5%, other items, 10% and 20%; office machinery-10% to 25%; automobiles, 25%. Upon the retirement or other disposition of property, accumulated depreciation is charged with the amount therein applicable to such property, and profit or loss is taken up in earnings. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals are charged to earnings as incurred. Betterments are capitalized. 21 T CD W O O W ~ M+

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 P. LORILLARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued) For the Three Years ended December 31, 1966 (4) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES For Federal income tax purposes, alternative methods of computing depreciation are used for certain assets. The Federal tax reduction resulting from the use of such alternative methods has been compensated in the accom- panying statement of consolidated earnings by charges for deferred Federal income tax. At December 31, 1966 the accumulated reserves for deferred Federal income tax (arising from the use of alternative methods of com- puting depreciation for tax purposes for the years 1957-1965) amounted to $4,664,080. From this amount the prepaid Federal income tax applicable to the reserves for employee benefits has been deducted, leaving a net credit balance of $1,187,900 at December 31, 1966 which has been included in accrued taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. The Federal income tax liabilities of the companies have been settled up to and including 1958. While the liabilities for subsequent years are subject to final determination, the amount provided in the consolidated balance sheet is believed to be adequate to cover any additional assessments which may be made by the Treasury Department. The companies have followed the practice of reducing their provision for Federal income tax by the estimated permanent tax saving resulting from the investment credit, the amounts of which have not been material. The amount ($224,041) deferred at December 31, 1963, because under the Revenue Act of 1962 the credit reduced future years' depreciation for tax purposes, was included in 1964 earnings since under the Revenue Act of 1964 future years' depreciation is no longer reduced for tax purposes. (5) LONG-TERM DEBT The sinking fund requirements under the debenture indentures during each of the next five years, less debentures held by the Company for sinking fund purposes, are as follows: 1967, none; 1968, $2,156,000; 1969, 1970 and 1971, $2,625,000 in each year. Covenants limiting the payment of dividends on common stock and the purchase, redemption, or retirement of such stock are contained in the debenture indentures. Under the most restrictive of these covenants the amount which could have been expended for the foregoing purposes was limited to approximately $74,000,000 at December 31, 1966. (6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT 1.IABILITIES Outstanding commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounted to approximately $1,110,000 at December 31, 1966. The Company is a defendant, along with one or more other tobacco manufacturers, in four cases which involve claims that the respective plaintiff or plaintiffs' decedents contracted cancer or other involvement of the lung or throat as a result of the use of tobacco products. Damages which range from $9,999 to $1,208,800 in three of such cases and $6,000,000 in the fourth are alleged, none of which has yet been tried. (7) RETTREMENT PLANS Under the non-contributory Employees' Retirement Plan of the companies, retirement allowances are being provided for eligible salaried employees. The assets of the Plan are held by First National City Bank, as Trustee. The 22 Q!) (d W O O W ~ ~

875-P. Lorillard Company-P. E. Amend. No. 3 -Pandick Press, Inc.-May 8, 1967 P. LORILLARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued) For the Three Years ended December 31, 1966 contributions of the companies to the Plan for 1966 approximated $1,367,000, including $602,000 for past services. An independent actuary has estimated that the unfunded past service cost of the Plan at December 31, 1966 approximated $6,200,000. The Company and a subsidiary also have non-contributory retirement plans providing for the payment by the companies of retirement allowances to full-time hourly or piece_work employees based on length of credited service. The companies maintain reserves equal to the estimated present worth, actuarially calculated, of the future retirement allowances payable to eligible employees who have attained retirement age. Additions to such reserves during 1966 approximated $255,000. An independent actuary has estimated that the amount that would be necessary to provide for the past service cost in respect of employees who had not attained retire- ment age at December 31, 1966 approximated $5,880,000. (8) INCENTIVE COMPENSATION Incentive compensation for officers and key personnel payable under the By-Laws, based on consolidated income (as defined), was as follows: 1964, $1,448,534; 1965, $1,519,668; 1966, $1,884,825.
