Distribution, Competition and Raw Materials
Beer products are distributed primarily through independent beer wholesalers. The beer industry is
highly competitive, with the principal methods of competition being product quality, price,
distribution,
marketing and advertising. Miller engages in a wide variety of advertising and sales promotion
activities.
Barley, hops, corn and water represent the principal ingredients used in manufacturing Miller's beer
products
and are generally available in the market. The production process, which includes fermentation and
aging
periods, is conducted throughout the year and at any one time Miller has on hand only a small
quantity of
finished products. Containers (bottles, cans and kegs) for beer products are either purchased from
suppliers
or produced at Miller's facilities.
Regulation
In recent years, various states have raised the legal age for the purchase of alcoholic beverages.
Currently,
all 50 states prescribe a legal age of 21. The Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act of 1988 requires all
alcoholic
beverages manufactured for sale in the United States to include the following warning statement on
containers: GOVERNMENT WARNING: (1) According to the Surgeon General, women should not drink
alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects. (2) Consumption of
alcoholic
beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery and may cause health problems.
The statute
empowers the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to promulgate regulations to prescribe the size
and
format of the warning. In addition, various legislative and regulatory proposals to prohibit or
restrict the
advertising of alcoholic beverages in the media have also been introduced. Such increases in the
legal age, the
warning statement requirement and any restrictions on advertising could have an adverse impact on
Miller's
sales, but it is not possible to predict with certainty their long-term effects.
Financial Services and Real Estate
PMCC engages in various financing and investment activities, including third-party leveraged and
direct
finance leasing, investing in securities of third parties, primarily preferred stock, and financing
for customers
and suppliers of the Company's subsidiaries. PMCC increased its total assets to $3.5 billion at
year-end 1989
as compared to $3.3 billion at year-end 1988, reflecting among other things the investment of an
additional
$484 million in finance assets.
Mission Viejo and its subsidiaries are engaged principally in land planning, development and sales
in
southern California and in the Denver, Colorado area.
Customers
None of the Company's business segments is dependent upon a single customer or a few customers, the
loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of
operations.
Employees
At December 31, 1989, the Company employed approximately 157,000 people worldwide.
Trademarks
Trademarks are of material importance to all three of the Company's consumer products businesses and
are protected by registration or otherwise in the United States and most other markets where the
related
products are sold.
Environmental Controls
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations and
proceedings thereunder concerning the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
related to
environmental protection, including the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Resource
Conservation
and Recovery Act and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
9

(commonly known as "Superfund"), and expect to make capital and other expenditures in connection
therewith. Compliance with such laws and regulations and the making of such expenditures are not
expected
to have any material adverse effect on the Company's earnings, capital expenditures or competitive
position.
Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export Sales
The amounts of operating revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets attributable to each of
the
Company's geographic regions and the amount of export sales from the United States for each of the
last
three fiscal years are set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements on pages
44-45 of the
Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1989 and are incorporated
herein
by reference and made a part hereof.
The Company, through its subsidiaries Philip Morris International, KGF and Miller, exports
cigarettes,
tobacco and tobacco-related products, coffee, grocery products, cheese, processed meats and beer. In
1989
the value of all exports from the United States by the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to
approximately $2.6 billion. In addition, subsidiaries and affiliates of Philip Morris International
operating
outside the United States purchased from third parties tobacco grown in the United States in an
aggregate
amount of approximately $300 million.
Item 2. Properties.
Tobacco Products
Philip Morris U.S.A. owns ten tobacco manufacturing and processing facilities - seven in the *
Richmond, Virginia area, two in Louisville, Kentucky and one in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.
Philip
Morris U.S.A. owns or leases other premises and facilities, including an operations center, a
research and
development facility and various administrative facilities in Richmond and an engineering center in
York
County, Virginia. Subsidiaries and affiliates of Philip Morris International own cigarette
manufacturing
facilities in 21 countries outside the United States. Pursuant to an agreement with Philip Morris
U.S.A.,
Philip Morris International purchases cigarettes and tobacco products manufactured by Philip Morris
U.S.A.
at certain of its facilities in the United States for sale by Philip Morris International abroad.
Food Products
KGF subsidiaries have more than 132 manufacturing and processing facilities, 56 major distribution
centers, 528 depots and various other facilities in the United States, as well as 78 foreign
manufacturing and
processing facilities in 18 countries and various distribution and other facilities outside the
United States. All
significant plants and properties used for production of food products are owned, although certain
warehouses
and distribution branches are leased. -
Beer
Miller currently owns and operates breweries located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Fulton, New York; Fort
Worth, Texas; Eden, North Carolina; Albany, Georgia; Irwindale, California; and Chippewa Falls,
Wisconsin. A brewery in Trenton, Ohio, completed in 1984, will not begin production until such time
as unit
volume for Miller products increases sufficiently to justify such action. Miller owns five
can-making plants
and a glass-making plant which supplies Miller's breweries with a portion of their bottle needs.
Miller also
owns a malting facility, a hops extract facility and a can and bottle carrier facility. Miller owns
or leases
warehouses in several locations.
