Item 1. Business. Philip Morris Incorporated (the "Company") is a diversified enterprise, engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and beer. The Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Philip Morris") employ approximately 53,000 persons. Based on unit sales, the Company is the second largest of the six major cigarette manufacturers in the United States and, excluding two national enterprises, each of which has more unit sales than Philip Morris; the second largest cigarette company in the world. Cigarettes are sold principally to wholesalers (including distributors and government-owned organizations), vending machine operators and large retail organizations. The Company's subsidiary, Miller Brewing Company, is the second largest United States brewer. Beer products are distributed in the United States, primarily through a network of independent beer wholesalers. The principal methods of competition in the cigarette and beer industries are product quality, marketing and packaging. A wide variety of advertising and sales promotion activities is pursued. Lines of Business and Industry Segments For management purposes, Philip Morris is organized into five operating companies: Philip Morris U.S.A., Philip Morris International, Miller Brewing Company, Philip Morris Industrial and Mission Viejo Company. Tobacco (Philip Morris U.S.A. and Philip Morris International) and beer (Miller Brewing Company) represent the Company's significant industry segments. Other industry segments include industrial ,products (Philip Morris Industrial), community development operations (Mission Viejo Company) and non-tobacco operations (printing and greeting cards) of wholly-owned subsidiaries included within Philip Morris International. Operating revenues and operating profit for 1977 of the Company's industry segments (the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries), together with a reconciliation to consolidated operating income of operating companies (see the table on p. 2), are shown in the following table. No amounts are included in respect of operating revenues and operating profit derived from intersegment transfers, because, in the opinion of management, amounts attributable to such transfers are not material. Operating Operating Revenues Profit (in thousands of dollars) Tobacco ......................................................................... $3,493,443 $615,253 Beer ................................................................................ 1,327,619 106,456 Other .............................................................................. 380,915 49,329 $5,201,977 771,038 Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates .............................................................. 11,694 Consolidated operating income .................................... $782,732 Sales of tobacco products, both within and without the United States, and sales of beer by Miller Brewing Company, as percentages of consolidated operating revenues and consolidated operating income, respectively, for the last five fiscal years are set forth in the following table.

Operating revenues and income for the last five fiscal years of Philip Morris U.S.A., Philip Morris International, Miller Brewing Company, Philip Morris Industrial and Mission Viejo Company are shown in the following table. Corporate expenses, interest (other than previously capitalized interest) and items which are not directly attributable to industry segments or operating companies are not allocated to them. In the opinion of management, any allocation thereof would be arbitrary and would diminish the accuracy of measurement of their performances.

Consolidated operating income also includes equity in unconsolidated subsidiaries. Philip Morris U.S.A. Philip Morris U.S.A. has responsibility for the development, manufacture and marketing of cigarettes sold in the United States. Its major cigarette brands are Marlboro, Benson & Hedges 100's, Merit, Virginia Slims, Parliament and Saratoga 120's. Since the last quarter of 1975, the Company's principal cigarette brand, Marlboro, has been reported to be the largest selling brand in the United States. Merit, a low "tar" cigarette, which was introduced nationally in January 1976, is believed to be one of the most successful new cigarette introductions ever made. The following table sets forth the industry's estimated sales of cigarettes manufactured in the United States, the Company's unit sales and the Company's share of the industry (including export sales in both cases).

Although the Company's unit volume increased by 8.7% (5.2%, excluding export sales ) in 1977 over 1976, cigarette unit volume (including export sales) for the United States industry as a whole increased by only 1.3%. Approximately 99.0% of the cigarettes sold by the Company in 1977 for consumption within the United States were filter cigarettes as compared with 89.4% for the industry as a whole. Philip Morris U.S.A. is the leader in the 100mm. sector of the United States cigarette market, which accounted for 26.2% of total United States industry sales in 1977. Philip Morris U.S.A.'s 100mm. brands accounted for 35.5% of this market in 1977. The fastest growing sector of the cigarette industry is the so-called low "tar" category, generally considered to consist of brands delivering 15 mg. or less of "tar" per cigarette. In 1977, this category accounted for approximately 26.1% of United States industry sales, and Philip Morris U.S.A.'s low "tar" brands accounted for approximately 23.2% of that total. Current prices per thousand cigarettes (except for military sales ) of the Company's principal brands within the United States, including the Federal excise tax of $4.00 per thousand, are $14.85 for 100mm. and 120mm. cigarettes and $14.35 for other cigarettes. Excise taxes, sales taxes and other taxes levied by various states and municipalities affecting cigarettes have been increasing in recent years. These taxes vary considerably and, when combined with the Federal excise tax, may be as high as 36 cents per package of twenty and may influence the sale of cigarettes. Reports and speculation with respect to the alleged harmful physical effects of cigarette smoking have been publicized for many years and, in the opinion of the Company, have had and may continue to have an adverse effect upon the industry's sales. In 1964, the Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the U. S. Public Health Service was released. The Report was essentially a review of the prior literature, consisting primarily of statistical association studies, and concluded that cigarette smoking was a health hazard of sufficient importance to warrant appropriate remedial action. Since then, there have been similar governmental reports on the subject of health and cigarette smoking. Since 1966, a Federal statute has required a warning statement on cigarette packaging. The current statement is: "Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health." For several years prior to 1966 and continuing thereafter, the Federal Trade Commission, in annual reports to Congress, has made recommendations that Congress enact legislation requiring a stronger warning statement. When the current warning statement legislation was adopted, the Federal Trade Commission had pending a trade regulation rule proceeding that would require a stronger statement on packaging and in cigarette advertising. That legislation provides that the Federal Trade Commission must notify Congress before taking action on this rule and, if the rule is adopted, the rule cannot take effect until six months after such notification. In 1972, the Federal Trade Commission approved consent orders requiring the Company and five other cigarette manufacturers to include in specified types of advertisements and in a prescribed format the warning statement prescribed by Congress for cigarette packaging. On October 17, 1975, the Government commenced civil actions against each of the cigarette manufacturers alleging violations of the consent orders and seeking monetary penalties, an injunction against further violations and the creation of a trust fund by each of the defendants to be used for the preparation and dissemination of advertisements in order to remedy the defendants' alleged failures to comply with the consent orders. These actions are currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company has filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the Commission's allegations and believes that it has substantial factual and legal defenses. Since 1971, television and radio advertising of cigarettes has been prohibited in the United States. Cigarette advertising in print media in the United States includes information with respect to the "tar" and nicotine content of cigarettes as well as the warning statement. From year to year, legislation has been proposed in Congress which, if passed, could be detrimental to the tobacco industry. The most significant bills relating to cigarettes which have been introduced would: eliminate all forms of Federal financial support of tobacco as administered through the U. S. Department of Agriculture; prohibit the sale of cigarettes with more than a prescribed level of "tar"; tax cigarettes on N 3

the basis of their "tar" and nicotine content; establish maximum levels of "tar" and nicotine in cigarettes; prohibit the mailing of unsolicited samples of cigarettes; and impose an additional excise tax on cigarettes with proceeds to be used for cancer research. Legislation potentially detrimental to the tobacco industry has been introduced from time to time in various state and local legislative bodies. Such measures usually relate to the taxation of cigarettes and regulation of the advertising, labeling, promotion, sale and smoking of cigarettes. Recent enactments by regulatory agencies and other governmental authorities restrict smoking areas aboard certain common carriers and in certain public places, and anti-cigarette groups are now concentrating on attempts to ban smoking in public places. In addition, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare announced on January 11, 1978 the formation of an Office on Smoking and Health within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for the purpose of co-ordinating and intensifying the Federal government's efforts in the area of smoking and health. Philip Morris International Philip Morris International has responsibility for the marketing of tobacco products outside the United States (including United States territories and possessions) and for most of the Company's international subsidiaries, affiliates and licensees. Philip Morris International sells more than 160 brands of cigarettes in more than 170 countries and territories throughout the world. Cigarettes sold by Philip Morris International are manufactured in the United States by the Company and by subsidiaries and affiliates in 22 countries. In an additional 19 countries and territories, Philip Morris International's cigarette brands are manufactured and sold by licensees. World cigarette industry unit sales (excluding the United States ) were about 3.6 trillion units in 1977. Philip Morris International's share of the world market was approximately 5.2%, up from 4.9% (as adjusted) in 1976. While regional and national brands represent more than one-half of Philip Morris International's unit volume, Marlboro, the world's leading cigarette brand since 1972, accounts for more than one-third thereof. Philip Morris International has cigarette market shares of at least 15%-and in a number of cases substantially more than 15%-in at least 20 countries, including Australia, Finland, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Switzerland and Venezuela. Prices in many of Philip Morris International's markets are government controlled and excise tax increases, higher costs, and government price restraints in a number of markets have restricted the operating income margins of Philip Morris International. In recent years, a number of countries have taken steps to restrict or prohibit cigarette advertising and to discourage cigarette smoking. Philip Morris (Australia) Limited (75% owned by the Company) owns all of the outstanding shares of Lindeman (Holdings) Limited, the leading Australian wine maker. Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are active in the greeting card and printing businesses in the United Kingdom. Miller Brewing Company Miller Brewing Company ("Miller") became the second largest brewing company in the United States in 1977, with a 31.6% increase in 1977 over 1976 in barrels shipped. Miller manufactures Miller High Life, which is believed to be the second largest selling brand in the United States, and Lite, introduced nationally in 1975 and now the leading low-calorie, premium beer in the United States. In 1975, Miller assumed full United States distribution rights for L'bwenbrku beer and, in late September 1977, introduced domestically brewed L'bwenbr'au nationally under a multi-phase agreement with Lbwenbrau MUnchen AG. 4 2048189006

Philip Morris Industrial Philip Morris Industrial has responsibility for the development, manufacture and marketing of Philip Morris' industrial products, both within the United States and abroad. Included in Philip Morris Industrial are: Polymer Industries-Adhesives & Liquid Coatings Division, which manufactures specialty adhesives and coatings; Polymer Industries-Textile Chemical Division, which manufactures specialty chemical products primarily for the textile industry; Wikolin Polymer Chemie GmbH, which manufactures coatings and adhesives in Germany; Armstrong Products Division, which manufactures powder coatings; Nicolet Paper Division, which manufactures dense specialty papers; Plainwell Paper Company, Inc., a maker of printing and technical papers; Surtech Coating Division, a converter which applies specialized coatings to packaging materials; the Milprint Division, which manufactures products used primarily for food packaging; Koch Label, which produces specialized labels; and Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc., acquired in February 1977 for 314,984 shares of the Company's Common Stock and approximately $1,126,000 in cash, which manufactures disposable tissue paper products. The 1977 increase in operating revenues and income of Philip Morris Industrial (see "Lines of Business and Industry Segments") is attributable principally to Wisconsin Tissue Mills Inc., whose operating revenues and income are not included for years prior to 1977. Mission Viejo Company Mission Viejo Company is a community development and home building corporation in Southern California and Colorado. Its principal activity is the development of a new, completely pre-planned town named Mission Viejo on approximately 10,000 acres located in Orange County, California, between Los Angeles and San Diego. It should be noted that what appears to have been a "housing boom" in this area in 1976 and 1977 may be ending. A new development, Aliso Viejo, is being planned for a recently acquired 6,700 additional acres close to Mission Viejo. Mission Viejo Company is also developing a smaller residential area located near Denver, Colorado and holds an option for a 22,000 acre tract of land in the Denver area. 5 / r

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings The following discussion is limited to changes between 1977-1976 and 1976-1975. Operating Rqvenues Consolidated operating revenues in 1977 were $908 million (21.2%) higher than in 1976. Revenues from worldwide sales of tobacco products were up $505 million (16.9%), of which $230 million is attributable to increased cigarette unit sales, $237 million to increases in selling prices (including increases in certain foreign excise tax rates) and $38 million to translation of foreign currencies at average rates in effect during 1977. Operating revenues from beer sales were up $345 million (35.1%), with $309 million of the increase coming from greater volume and $36 million from price increases. In 1976, consolidated operating revenues were $651 million (17.9%) higher than in 1975. Revenues from worldwide sales of tobacco products were up $284 million (10.5%), with increases of $193 million from higher unit sales and $206 million from increases in selling prices (including increases in certain foreign excise tax rates) being partially offset by translation of foreign currencies, $40 million, and deconsolidation of a foreign subsidiary, $75 million. Operating revenues from beer sales in 1976 exceeded 1975 by $325 million (49.3%), with $282 million attributable to volume and $43 million to price increases. Cost and Expenses Cost of sales, which includes cost of products sold and federal and foreign excise taxes on products sold, increased $628 million (20.1%) in 1977 over 1976 and $391 million (14.3%) in 1976 over 1975. Cost of tobacco products accounted for $291 million of the 1977 increase, of which $161 million is attributable to volume, $102 million to cost increases (including increases in certain foreign excise tax rates) and $28 million to translation of foreign currencies. The 1977 increase in cost of beer products sold was $287 million, with $262 million from greater volume and $25 million of cost increases. The increase in 1976 over 1975 includes cost increases of $113 million for tobacco products and $256 million for beer. Increases in the cost of tobacco products of $112 million from higher unit volume and $87 million of cost increases (including increases in certain foreign excise tax rates) were reduced by translation of foreign currencies, $14 million, and by deconsolidation of a foreign subsidiary, $72 million. The $256 million higher cost of beer products sold, included $247 million from higher volume and $9 million of cost increases. Marketing, administrative and research costs in 1977 were $129 million (23.7%) higher than in 1976 and $110 million (25.2%) higher in 1976 than in 1975, reflecting new cigarette and beer brand introductions, increases from growth in operations, and inflation. Currency translation and hedging costs of $12 million in 1977 were $4 million (25%) less than in 1976. Such costs were first stated in the statement of earnings in 1976 in compliance with a pronouncement of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Equity in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates The decrease in 1977 compared to 1976 of $2.5 million (17.7%) in equity in net earnings of partly- owned unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates was principally attributable to the impact on currency translation of the Australian dollar devaluation in late 1976, a retroactive Australian corporate income tax increase in 1977, and an increase in losses from Brazilian operations, all of which were partially offset by improved results in certain other subsidiaries and affiliates. Equity in net earnings of partly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates decreased $8.7 million (37.9%) in 1976 from 1975 mainly due to the devaluation of the Australian dollar and the Mexican peso. Income Taxes The $84 million increase in income taxes in 1977 and $57 million increase in 1976 reflect the applicable tax on the increased income for the years. Reference is made to Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 9

Item 3. Properties. Philip Morris' principal United States plants are: five manufacturing facilities for tobacco products- four in the Richmond, Virginia area, and one in Louisville, Kentucky; and two stemmeries-one located near Louisville and the other located in Richmond. The Philip Morris U.S.A. Operations Center in Richmond is believed to be the most modern cigarette factory in the world and is currently producing cigarettes at an annual rate of 100 billion units, approximately 70% of its planned production capacity. All of the foregoing are owned by the Company. Additional cigarette manufacturing facilities of Philip Morris are located in 22 countries outside of the United States. Philip Morris owns or leases other premises, including a research and development facility and an operations and data processing center in Richmond, warehouses, paper mills, converting plants and other manufacturing facilities. At present, Miller has breweries located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Fulton, New York; Azusa, California; and Fort Worth, Texas. Miller has embarked on a major capital expansion program. As part of this program, capacity at the Fulton brewery, at which production commenced in 1976, is being expanded; a new brewery, in Eden, North Carolina, is under construction with production scheduled to begin in 1978, and ground was broken in November 1977 for a new brewery in Irwindale, California to replace the smaller nearby Azusa facility. In addition, Miller is expanding and modernizing its facilities in Milwaukee and Fort Worth. Miller has three can-making facilities in operation, capable of an annual production of 1.5 billion cans, and an additional plant is planned for use in connection with the Eden Brewery. A glass making plant in Sennett, New York, is under construction. When completed, it will supply the Fulton Brewery with a portion of its glass bottle needs. Reference is made to the description of Mission Viejo Company under Item 1 for additional information. In 1977, capital expenditures amounted to $280,000,000 and are estimated at $500,000,000 in 1978. For the period 1978 through 1982, the Company estimates that total capital expenditures will exceed $2,250,000,000. Of this amount, more than one-half will be used for the expansion and modernization of beer operations and the rest largely for world-wide tobacco operations. Capital expenditures in the five year period 1973-1977 were $1,135,000,000. Of this amount, $484,000,000 was spent on the expansion and modernization of cigarette manufacturing facilities and $567,000,000 was spent on beer production facilities. Philip Morris' plants and properties are maintained in good condition and are believed to be suitable and adequate for present needs. As a result of recent capital expenditures, approximately 70% of Philip Morris' property, plant and equipment was less than five years old at December 31, 1977. Item 4. Parents and Subsidiaries. The active subsidiaries of the Company and their subsidiaries as of December 31, 1977 are listed below. The names of certain subsidiaries, which considered in the aggregate would not constitute a significant subsidiary, have been omitted. The consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries whose common stock is wholly owned. Investments in and advances to unconsolidated subsidiaries are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings since the dates of acquisition.

Three purported class actions by tobacco growers are pending against the six major United States cigarette manufacturers, including the Company, and others alleging violations of the United States antitrust laws. In these actions, it is alleged, among other things, that the Company conspired with other named defendants to fix prices at which tobacco is purchased from the plaintiffs and the growers allegedly represented by the plaintiffs. In two of the actions, the plaintiffs originally sought damages for the years 1970-1974 of approximately $2,500,000,000 in the aggregate. In April 1976, plaintiffs in one of these cases filed a proposed amended complaint which would reduce the size of the purported class, so that the aggregate damages claimed in both actions would be approximately $400,000,000. No specific amount of damages is claimed in the third action. The Company has denied any violation of law, is vigorously contesting the actions and has been advised by its counsel, Messrs. Arnold & Porter, Washington, D. C., that in their opinion these actions are not proper class actions. Furthermore, based on the investigation made to date, counsel is of the opinion that the Company has substantial factual and legal defenses to each of the alleged charges. The District Court in one of the three actions determined that the action could not be maintained as a class action. On October 11, 1977, that determination was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals. A petition for a writ of certiorari has been filed but not yet acted upon by the Supreme Court. The District Courts in the other two cases have not as yet determined whether those cases may be maintained as class actions. After service of subpoenas duces tecum, three employees of the Company testified before a United States Grand Jury in March, 1978 concerning the operations and record keeping of a Company waste water treatment facility. The Company does not believe the outcome of the matter will have a material effect on its operations. For additional information, reference is made to the litigation described herein under Item 1.

The Industrial Facilities Revenue Bonds and the Pollution Control Revenue Bonds were sold on October 4, 1977 to The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company at 100% of par, the proceeds being used by the Authority to finance the acquisition, construction, and installation of certain machinery and pollution control equipment at the Eden, North Carolina, brewery of Miller. The Company's Guaranties, the Industrial Facilities Revenue Bonds and the Pollution Control Revenue Bonds were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because each is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) of that Act. (ii) On October 26, 1977, the Company gave its Guaranty, dated as of October 1, 1977, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, $4,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Industrial Revenue Bonds (Philip Morris Industrial Incorporated Project) due October 1, 1997 of the City of Fort Atkinson, an incorporated municipality of the State of Wisconsin ("Municipality"). Such Bonds were sold on October 26, 1977 to United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company at 100% of par, the proceeds being loaned by the Municipality to Philip Morris Industrial Incorporated ("Industrial"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to finance the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a new industrial plant for Industrial's Koch Label Division located in the Municipality. The Guaranty and the Municipality's Industrial Revenue Bonds were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because they are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) of that Act. (iii) The Company entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of December 1, 1977 with a group of U. S. and foreign banks, arranged through Bank of Boston International, pursuant to which the banks have agreed that, until November 30, 1982, they will make Eurodollar loans to the Company up to an aggregate principal amount of U. S. $250,000,000. Such loans will bear interest at a rate of'/a of 1% above the average London interbank rate offered by certain of the banks.

As of December 1, 1977, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the 1975 Credit Agreement, and no borrowings were made under the new Credit Agreement during the period to which this report applies.

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in and advances to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are stated at cost adjusted for equity in undistributed earnings or losses since the dates of acquisition. Foreign operations: Foreign currency accounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (1) current assets (except inventories ), current liabilities, long-term receivables and long-term debt at year-end rates; (2) in- ventories, other assets and liabilities generally at historical rates; and (3) revenues, costs and expenses at average rates during the year except for the cost of inventories sold and depreciation and amortization which are based upon the historical dollar cost. The Company enters into forward exchange contracts and other hedging activities to minimize the effect of currency fluctuations on net earnings. Gains and losses on such transactions and other currency gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Receivables: Current earnings are charged and an allowance is credited with a provision for doubtful accounts based on experience and on any unusual circumstances which may affect the ability of customers to meet their obligations. Accounts deemed uncollectible are charged against this allowance. Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost of leaf tobacco is determined on an average cost basis and the cost of other inventories is determined generally on a first-in, first-out basis. It is a generally recognized industry practice to classify the total amount of leaf tobacco inventory as a current asset although part of such inventory, because of the duration of the aging process, ordinarily would not be utilized within one year. The cost of housing programs under construction represents the cost of land, including offtract improvements, interest and property taxes and housing construction costs on sites currently under development. Real estate operations: The cost of land, including offtract improvements, interest and property taxes, is reported as a noncurrent asset until a designated area is placed into development. Interest is capitalized in accordance with the general industry practice. The amount of interest capitalized is determined by the average short- and long-term borrowing rates applicable to loans incurred for use in these operations. Offtract improvements are access roads, utilities, etc., which are essential to the development of a community, but which are not directly attributable to the development of a particular tract or area. The cost of these improvements is allocated to the saleable acreage remaining in each project and is charEed to cost of sales when such acreage is sold. Revenue and profit from real estate sales are recognized only as cash is received. ~ . ,~ ca Continued 2 ta -t3 F-8 ° ~

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Brands, trademarks,'patents and goodwill: Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired after November 1, 1970 is being amortized over a period of no more than 40 years. Other goodwill is not amortized unless there has been a diminution in its value. Income taxes: The provisions for federal and foreign income taxes are calculated on reported pre-tax earnings. Certain items of income and expense included in the financial statements, such as depreciation, are reported in different years in the tax returns in accordance with applicable income tax laws. The resulting difference between the financial statement income tax provision and income taxes currently payable is reported in the financial statements as deferred income taxes. Investment tax credits are recognized currently as a reduction in the provision for income taxes. Provision is also made for federal income taxes on the portion of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates that is expected to be remitted to the United States. Property, plant and equipment: Maintenance and repairs are charged to income, and expenditures for renewals and improvements are capitalized. In order to present more realistically the economic cost of a constructed facility, whenever the construction period of a facility exceeds one year, the capitalized cost of the facility includes interest and .real estate taxes incurred during the construction period. The interest capitalized on construction of facilities is determined by applying the Company's average short-term borroWing rates to the outstanding construction balance. Provision for depreciation of assets is recorded by a charge against income at rates considered adequate to amortize the cost of such assets over their useful lives computed on the straight-line method. Pension plans: The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have pension plans covering substantially all their employees. Prior service costs, which are being amortized over periods of up to 30 years, and accrued pension costs are funded with independent trustees. 2. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY: Effective January 1, 1976, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board statement on translation of foreign currency transactions and foreign currency financial statements (FASB 8), the Company changed its method of translating inventories denominated in foreign currencies to use historical rather than current exchange rates and also began to include exchange gains and losses in income in the period in which they occur. As a result of the Company's policy of minimizing the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on its operations by entering various hedging activities, it has been concluded that it is not practicable to restate the financial statements for 1975 and earlier years because no reasonable estimates can be made of the hedging costs and exchange gains and losses that the Company would have incurred in such years under its established hedging policy. Accordingly, the cumulative effect as of January 1, 1976 of restatement of the inventory and other accounts pursuant to FASB 8, which is not significant, has been reflected in 1976 earnings. Had the Company reported prior period data reflecting the impact of FASB 8 on its inventory and other accounts without giving effect to the hedging program that would have been followed had the new accounting rules been known at the time, reported net earnings and primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1975, would have increased by $4,315,000, $.07 and $.07, respectively; decreased $14,923,000, $.27 and S.26, respectively, in 1974; and increased $3,321,000, $.06 and $.05, respectively, in 1973.

Consequently, no profit or loss on such retirement or disposal is recognized. Generally, when items other than machinery and equipment subject to composite rate depreciation are retired or otherwise disposed of the depreciation account is charged with the accumulated amount of depreciation applicable thereto and any profit or loss on such retirement or disposal is credited or charged to income.

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 6. BRANDS, TRADEMARKS, PATENTS AND GOODWILL: At December 31, 1977, this amount included approximately $35,000,000 of goodwill which is being amortized. Cost in excess of net assets of companies acquired prior to November 1, 1970 is not being amortized because, in the opinion of management, the related investments have not experienced any diminution in value. 7. SHORT-TERM BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS: In addition to the domestic and foreign bank loans and commercial paper obligations included in current liabilities, the information presented below also includes short-term notes payable classified as long-term debt in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 6. At December 31, 1977, $500,000,000 of short-term notes were included in long-term debt. Average bank loans and commercial paper obligations outstanding during 1977 were $127,049,000 and $401,612,000, respectively, on which the weighted average interest rates were 7.5% and 5.6%, respectively. At December 31, 1977, short-term notes payable consisted of bank loans of $309,967,000 and commercial paper obligations of $311,172,000 on which the average rates of interest were 8.1% and 6.4%, respectively. At that date, lines of credit amounted to approximately $1,200,000,000 of which $600,000,000 remained unused. During 1977, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries maintained average demand deposit book balances of approximately $54,000,000 with a number of banks, principally in the United States, while average actual collected fund balances held by the banks approximated $88,000,000, to compensate the banks for account handling and other important services and to support lines of credit. Cash and cash equivalents include $52,549,000 and $5,664,000 of time deposits at December 31, 1977 and 1976, respectively. 8.

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Company has entered into a $250,000,000 revolving credit and term loan agreement, maturing in 1984, and a $250,000,000 Eurodollar revolving credit agreement maturing in 1982, both of which can be used to refinance short-term notes payable. Management intends to exercise its rights under these agreements in the event that it becomes advisable. Accordingly, at December 31, 1977, $500,000,000 of short-term notes payable have been classified as long-term debt in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 6. Generally, long-term debt is callable, at annually decreasing premiums. Expenses incurred in securing long-term loans are included in other assets and are being amortized on the straight-line method over the respective lives of the issues giving rise thereto. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt in each of the following years are: 1978, $15,740,000; 1979, $16,162,000; 1980, $166,276,000; 1981, $46,964,000; 1982, $330,326,000. 9. CAPITALIZED INTEREST: The effect of the policy to capitalize interest relating to major facilities was an increase in pre-tax income of $513,000 in 1977, $643,000 in 1976, $2,928,000 in 1975, $4,842,000 in 1974 and $5,794,000 in 1973; the effect relating to real estate operations was an increase in pre-tax income of $2,037,000 in 1977, $1,959,000 in 1976, $1,577,000 in 1975, $2,398,000 in 1974 and $1,434,000 in 1973. The combined effect on net income was an increase of $1,228,000 in 1977, $1,257,000 in 1976, $2,176,000 in 1975, $3,499,000 in 1974 and $3,522,000 in 1973. 10.

On February 2, 1977, the Company issued 314,984 shares of its common stock in connection with the acquisition of Wisconsin Tissue Mills, a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Financial statements for periods prior to January 1, 1977 have not been restated due to the immateriality of the amounts involved. 11. STOCK PLANS: Under the stockholder-approved 1977 Stock Unit Plan, units with respect to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to employees of the Company or its affiliates. A stock unit entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at the market price at the date of grant, or to receive the appreciation value (the excess of the market price at the date of exercise over the market price at the date of grant) in the form of stock or stock and cash. Appreciation value may be received with respect to no more than 50% of the units granted. At December 31, 1977, units with respect to 298,700 Continued ~ F-13

RESTRICTIONS: Certain of the agreements covering long-term debt contain restrictions with respect to the payment of cash dividends on common stock and to the purchase, redemption or retirement of capital shares. At December 31, 1977, approximately $400,000,000 of consolidated earnings reinvested in the business was free of such restrictions. Other debt agreements specify minimum amounts of working capital and limit the amount of senior debt which may be issued. At December 31, 1977, the Company was in compliance with these agreements. 13.

In determining 1977, 1976 and 1975 primary earnings per share, shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options have not been included since the effect of such inclusion would be insignificant, and there were no other dilutive issues outstanding during such years. Fully diluted earnings per common share in 1974 and 1973 gives effect to the reduction in earnings per share which would result from the conversion of all outstanding convertible securities and the exercise of stock options. Convertible securities were assumed to have been converted from the beginning of the period and net earnings were adjusted for related interest net of tax. Funds assumed to have been received from exercise of stock options were assumed to have been used to acquire shares for the treasury at the higher of the average market price during the periods or the market price at the close of the periods. In determining 1977, 1976 and 1975 fully diluted earnings per share, shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options have not been included since the effect of such inclusion would be insignificant, and there were no other dilutive issues outstanding during such years. The number of shares of common stock used in this computation was: 1977, 59,822,487; 1976, 59,408,484; 1975, 58,442,362; 1974, 57,339,255 and 1973, 57,315,784. Continued F-16 ~

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Co.ooued) 15. PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS: The Company's retirement plan (noncontributory) covers substantially all domestic employees of tobacco operations. The plan provides that after five years of service employees may retire at the age of 60 or at certain optional earlier retirement ages at reduced retirement allowances. The plan also provides that after 30 years of service employees may retire at age 55 with an early retirement allowance equal to a portion of a full retirement allowance and provides retirement allowances starting at age 65 for employees with six years of service who are terminated for any reason. Retirement allowances are based on the average amount of annual compensation received during the 60 highest paid consecutive months of the last 120 months of an employee's accredited service. Retirement allowances are now computed at an amount equal to 1 i/a% of the applicable social security integration level plus 1'l.% of the balance of the five- year average compensation, multiplied by the number of years of accredited service. Other retirement plans provide benefits for substantially all other employees. Charges to income for these plans for the years 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974 and 1973 were $34,015,000, $29,739,000, $24,812,000, $19,549,000 and $14,805,000, respectively, which includes amortization of prior service costs over a period of 30 years. Unfunded prior service costs at December 31, 1977 amounted to approximately $26,900,000. The Company's policy is to fund accrued pension costs. 16. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN: In accordance with the stockholder-approved Incentive Compensation Plan, a provision is made against current earnings for awards that may be made subsequent to the close of the year to officers and other key employees. The amounts provided were as follows: 1977, $5,612,000; 1976, $3,940,000; 1975, $3,100,000; 1974, $2,400,000 and 1973, $2,200,000. 17. LITIGATION: Three purported class actions by tobacco growers are pending against the six major United States cigarette manufacturers, including the Company, and others alleging violations of the United States antitrust laws. In two of the actions, the plaintiffs originally sought damages for the years 1970-1974 of approximately $2,500,000,000 in the aggregate. In April 1976, plaintiffs in one of these cases filed a proposed amended complaint which would reduce the size of the purported class, so that the aggregate damages claimed in both actions would be approximately $400,000,000. No specific amount of damages is claimed in the third action. The Company has denied any violation of law, is vigorously contesting the actions and has been advised by counsel that in their opinion the actions are not proper class actions. Furthermore, based on the investigation made to date, counsel is of the opinion that the Company has substantial factual and legal defenses to each of the alleged charges. The District Court in one of the three actions determined that the action could not be maintained as a class action and on October 11, 1977, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision. The plaintiffs are asking for review by the United States Supreme Court. The District Courts in the other two cases have not as yet determined whether those cases may be maintained as class actions. No adjustments or provisions have been made on account of the litigation. Continued

REPLACEMENT COST (UNAUDITED ): Estimated replacement cost data are presented pursuant to Rule 3-17 of Regulation S-X. The amounts reported are the result of calculations described below and are not necessarily indicative of either the amounts for which the assets could be sold or management's intention to replace such assets, nor are they necessarily representative of costs that might be incurred in a future period. Inventories and Cost of Sales Leaf tobacco held for use in the production of tobacco products is by far the most significant component of the Company's inventories, accounting for over 70% of the historical cost of the inventories on hand at December 31, 1977. The Company's tobacco products contain blends of many different grades and types of tobacco. Leaf tobacco is principally purchased at auction at the conclusion of each growing season. Following purchase of the tobacco, the production process commences when the leaf tobacco arrives at the stemmeries. In the stemmeries, the tobacco is cleaned, stemmed, redried in strips, graded and conditioned to the correct moisture level for storage. The redried, graded tobacco is then aged for periods up to three years. The Company maintains large quantities of leaf tobacco inventory to support production requirements for aged tobacco. The manufacture of tobacco products requires only small amounts of tobacco and direct materials in work in process at any given time. Generally, finished products are sold promptly and inventory is maintained only in quantities sufficient to assure continued availability of product. The Company's beer products are produced with commodities that are generally available on the open market and can be readied for production in a matter of days. The process of brewing, fermenting and aging beer products is completed in a number of weeks and the finished product is sold to distributors in a few days. The Company produces a variety of industrial products including printed and processed flexible packaging material, printing papers, disposable tissue paper, textile and other specialty chemicals and coatings. Many of these products are produced for specific orders and production involves the use of a variety of raw materials including pulp, chemicals, paper, plastics and inks. Continued F-18

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Company's real estate operations consist principally of the sale of residential houses and commercial and industrial sites. Inventories related to these operations consist of land and related carrying costs, unamortized offtract improvements and the cost of houses under construction which for the most part are the subject of sales agreements with purchasers. Leaf tobacco inventory is valued in the Company's financial statements at average cost by grade. Its replacement cost has been estimated by valuing the year-end inventory quantities by grade at the latest crop year average stemmed purchase price. Because of the quantities in inventory, there is no assurance that total replacement could be achieved at this price, nor does this statistical calculation reflect the importance of, or the value added by, the aging process. The current replacement cost of other raw materials, including packaging materials, industrial raw materials and operating supplies, was determined by pricing year-end inventory quantities at current purchase prices. Inventory of land retained in real estate operations is sufficient to satisfy current levels of home construction activity for more than ten years. Therefore, historical cost is deemed to represent replacement cost. Housing programs under construction reflect costs under current subcontracts and so are the equivalent of current replacement costs. The current replacement cost of finished goods and work in process inventories was calculated by applying the percentage increase of replacement cost over historical cost in raw materials inventory to the related raw material component of these inventories. Depreciation included in the historical valuation of finished goods was adjusted to reflect the current replacement cost basis of productive capacity. The current replacement cost of leaf tobacco in cost of sales was determined by accumulating, by type, the pounds of tobacco used in finished products sold during the year and applying the average purchase price, by type, of the latest crop year in inventory when the sales were made. Current replacement cost of raw materials and direct materials in cost of sales was determined generally by applying the average percentage cost increase for such materials during the year. Fixed manufacturing expense and direct labor in cost of sales approximate current replacement cost except for depreciation expense which was revalued based on the average replacement cost of productive capacity available during the year. Productive Capacity and Depreciation The Company's tobacco manufacturing facilities include some recently constructed facilities contain- ing the most modern highly efficient equipment and utilizing the latest production methods. Other tobacco manufacturing facilities, while generally utilizing highly efficient equipment, are housed in structures that, if replacement were to be considered, would be replaced with structures designed to provide more efficient production. Brewing and related manufacturing facilities include one new and two expanded breweries and three container plants constructed during the last three years. Certain of the facilities at the older breweries, if replaced, would be replaced with facilities incorporating recent developments. Other properties include paper mills, converting plants and other manufacturing facilities utilized in the Company's industrial products operations and warehouses, research, office and other support facilities located both in the United States and abroad. The historical cost of recently constructed and purchased domestic tobacco manufacturing and brewing and related manufacturing productive capacity was indexed, where necessary, to reflect the current replacement cost at December 31, 1977. The current replacement cost of older domestic tobacco manufacturing and brewing productive capacity was based on the cost per unit of productive capacity of the recently constructed facilities. The replacement cost of certain tobacco manufacturing productive capacity outside of the United States was developed by using engineering estimates of the cost of replacing Continued F-19

PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NO:ES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) selected facilities with a new facility upgraded for technological improvements and deriving a cost per unit of productive capacity therefrom. The cost per unit of productive capacity, thus derived was applied to the total existing productive capacity of tobacco manufacturing facilities in the geographical area to determine their estimated replacement cost. Tobacco manufacturing and brewing and related manufacturing productive capacity thus revalued comprise over 80% of the historical cost of productive capacity for which replacement cost data are provided. The current replacement cost of other manufacturing and support facilities was determined in a variety of ways. Generally, published construction and other indexes were used to estimate the current replacement cost of buildings. Productive and other equipment utilized in such facilities were revalued either by obtaining vendor quotes for new equipment of equivalent productive capacity or by applying appropriate indexes to historical cost. While it is believed that the indexes applied are reasonably representative of changes in prices for the assets, the Company is not responsible for the accuracy, consistency, weighting and other factors which may affect such indexes. Accumulated depreciation and amortization related to the replacement cost of existing productive capacity was computed by applying ratios of historical accumulated depreciation to historical cost to the estimated replacement cost of productive capacity. Replacement cost depreciation and amortization were calculated on the straight-line method using the historical depreciation and amortization rates for existing facilities applied to the average estimated replacement cost of productive capacity. In making the replacement cost depreciation calculations, no changes were made in the periods used for historical cost depreciation purposes as a result of technological improvements included in calculations of the replacement cost of productive capacity. All replacement cost amounts related to foreign assets were initially calculated in the relevant foreign currency and then translated to U.S. dollars using year-end rates of exchange. Replacement cost amounts related to foreign cost of sales and depreciation expense were also initially calculated in the local foreign currency and then translated into U.S. dollars using average annual rates of exchange. The estimated current replacement cost amounts presented below do not reflect any of the cost savings that might result from replacing existing productive capacity with improved technology, facilities and equipment. It should be noted that replacement of productive capacity in the manner assumed for the calculation of current replacement cost would alter the current level of many operating costs other than depreciation, such as direct labor, direct material usage, maintenance and repairs, utility and other indirect costs. The impractibility of determining the current replacement cost of all of the Company's productive capacity on an improved technology basis precludes quantifying the current level of operating costs that would result from the assumed hypothetical replacement. However, operating cost efficiencies quantified with respect to the assumed replacement of certain of the Company's existing productive capacity lead management to believe that such operating cost efficiencies would substantially offset the additional depreciation on a replacement cost basis. Additionally, this replacement cost information does not reflect all of the effects of inflation and other economic factors on the Company's operations. The Company has not attempted to quantify the impact of financing the "instant" replacement of inventories and productive facilities assumed by Rule 3-17 and of inflation on other assets and liabilities because of the many unresolved problems in doing so. Nor does the replacement cost information recognize the customary relationship between changes in costs and selling prices. Condnued F-20 204$189{}3$

T PHILIP MORRIS INCORPORATED and Consolidated Subsidiaries NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Selling prices of the Company's products are dictated to a great extent by competitive conditions, and in some instances by governmental regulation. In the past, the Company has generally been able to adjust selling •prices to compensate for cost increases. Competitive conditions and governmental regulations permitting, the Company may be able to continue to modify selling prices in recognition of cost changes. The current replacement cost data required by Rule 3-17, and related historical costs reconciled to related totals shown in the consolidated financial statements are as follows: Estimated Replacement Cost Comparable Other Historical Historical Cost Cost* Total Historical Cost At December 31, 1977: (in millions) Inventories ......................................................... $1,940 $1,818 $1,818 Property, plant and equipment ........................ $2,574 $1,566 $ 29 $1,595 Less, Accumulated depreciation and amorti- zation ............................................................. 693 393 - 393 $1,881 $1,173 $ 29 $1,202 For the year ended December 31, 1977: Total depreciation expense ............................... $ 138 $ 78 $ 78 Amount included in costs other than cost of products sold ..................................... 12 7 7 Amount included in cost of products sold 126 71 71 Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation. 2,396 2,331 2,331 Cost of products sold, including depreciation.. $2,522 $2,402 $2,402 At December 31, 1976: Inventories ......................................................... $1,617 $1,528 $130 $1,658 Property, plant and equipment ........................ $2,048 $1,239 $ 85 $1,324 Less, Accumulated depreciation and amorti- zation ............................................................. 533 308 22 330 $1,515 $ 931 $ 63 $ 994 For the year ended December 31, 1976: Total depreciation expense ............................... $ 102 $ 60 $ 5 $ 65 Amount included in costs other than cost of products sold ..................................... 9 5 1 6 .

SEGMENT REPORTING: Worldwide tobacco and domestic beer represent the primary segments of the Company's operations. Other products include industrial products and land development operations. The Company's foreign operations which are predominantly in the tobacco business are organized into geographic regions for management responsibility with Europe being the most significant. Intersegment transactions are not reported separately since they are not material. Operating profit is total operating revenues less operating expenses. In computing operating profit, none of the following has been allocated: equity in net earnings of unconsolidated foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, corporate expense, interest expense and miscellaneous income and expense items, including currency translation and hedging costs. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in the Company's operations in each segment. Corporate assets consist primarily of long-term receivables and fixed assets.
