                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income
Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Certain Hourly
Employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and its
Subsidiaries)



In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and
Savings Plan (For Certain Hourly Employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
and its Subsidiaries) (the "Plan"), at March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME
STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
(FOR CERTAIN HOURLY EMPLOYEES OF ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES, INC.
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       PLAN DESCRIPTION

         The following description of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income
         Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Certain Hourly Employees of
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. and its Subsidiaries) (the "Plan")
         is provided for general informational purposes only. Participants
         should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description
         of the Plan's provisions.

         GENERAL
         The Plan was established as a result of an amendment to the
         Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan for
         salaried employees, which was effective April 1, 1992. The Plan is
         a defined contribution plan covering substantially all hourly
         employees (other than those covered by a collective bargaining
         agreement) of the Company's following subsidiaries: Busch
         Entertainment Corporation, Busch Properties of Florida, Inc., Sea
         World of California, Inc., Sea World of Florida, Inc. and Sea World
         of Texas, Inc. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
         Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

         PLAN ADMINISTRATION
         The Plan's named fiduciaries are Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
         (the "Company"), as Sponsor and Plan Administrator, and Mellon
         Bank, N.A., as the Trustee. As Sponsor, the Company has the right
         to amend the Plan, designate the Plan's named fiduciaries and
         exercise all fiduciary functions necessary for the operation of the
         Plan except those which are assigned to another named fiduciary by
         the Plan or the related trust agreement. The Company has appointed
         an Administrative Committee to exercise the authority and
         responsibility for the general administration of the Plan. The
         Trustee has the exclusive authority and discretion to invest,
         manage and hold the assets of the trust in accordance with the
         provisions of the Plan and the separate trust agreement.

         Effective April 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to incorporate
         various changes to the Plan, including changes in participants'
         contribution limits, changes in Company matching contributions, the
         addition of the Managed Balanced Fund and Indexed Balanced Fund
         investment options and decreasing vesting period from three years
         to two years.

         Effective April 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to incorporate
         various changes to the Plan, including the addition of the
         Small/Mid Cap Stock Index Fund and International Stock Index Fund,
         the renaming of the Equity Index Fund to the Large Cap Stock Index
         Fund, and the acceptance of rollover contributions into the Plan.

         During 2002, the Plan was amended to incorporate various changes to
         the Plan, including, among other things, the election by
         participants, who meet certain requirements, to either receive
         dividends on the allocated shares of Company stock in cash or to
         direct the dividends to be reinvested in Company stock within the
         Plan.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         ELIGIBILITY
         Each hourly employee (other than employees covered by a collective
         bargaining agreement) of the above subsidiaries is eligible to
         participate in the Plan after completing one year of service, in
         which 1,000 hours of service are completed. Participation by
         eligible employees is voluntary.

         CONTRIBUTIONS
         A participant may make matched and unmatched contributions. Both
         matched and unmatched contributions may be before-tax or after-tax.
         A participant may contribute from 1 percent to 6 percent of their
         base compensation through payroll deductions for Before-Tax Matched
         Contributions and After-Tax Matched Contributions. The sum of these
         matched contributions may not be less than 1 percent nor more than
         6 percent of the participant's base compensation. In addition, a
         participant may contribute from 1 percent to 10 percent of their
         base compensation through payroll deductions for Before-Tax
         Unmatched Contributions and After-Tax Unmatched Contributions;
         however, the unmatched contribution rates may not exceed 10 percent
         of the participant's base compensation and are subject to other
         limitations as set forth in the Plan agreement. In addition, the
         sum of Before-Tax Matched and Unmatched Contributions must not
         exceed 16 percent of a participant's base compensation, subject to
         certain limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. The participant's
         employer then contributes a matching amount determined annually
         based on the relationship of the Company's net income to its
         payroll expense for the year most recently ended. However, in no
         event may the participating employer's matching contribution be
         less than 33-1/3 percent nor more than 100 percent of the aggregate
         participant contributions.

         The Company may also be required to make a supplemental
         contribution as determined by the Administrative Committee in
         accordance with the Plan document. Supplemental contributions are
         payable 180 days of the Plan's year end and are allocated to
         participants who have account balances as of the end of the Plan
         year. For the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, a supplemental
         contribution of $1,565,371 and $1,525,833 was required,
         respectively.

         Participant contributions received by the Plan are invested in one
         or more investment funds as directed by the participant. At least
         one-half of each participant's both Before-Tax and After-Tax
         Matched Contributions shall be invested in the Company Stock Fund
         for certain periods of time. The participant may direct the
         remaining one-half of each type of matched contribution and all of
         the unmatched contributions in increments of 1 percent into any
         fund established under the Plan. Earnings are reinvested in the
         fund to which they relate. All employer contributions are invested
         in the Company Stock Fund.

         FORFEITED ACCOUNTS
         Forfeitures result from a participant's withdrawal, retirement or
         termination before the participant is 100 percent vested in
         employer matching contributions. Forfeited nonvested amounts are
         used to reduce future employer contributions. Forfeitures for the
         years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $14,870 and $7,218,
         respectively.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         VESTING
         Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary
         contributions and rollover contributions, plus related earnings.
         Company contributions for participants actively employed by the
         Company on or prior to March 31, 1991 vest immediately. For
         participants subsequently employed, Company contributions vest
         after two years of service. Company contributions also vest upon
         termination of employment by reason of death, permanent disability,
         entry into military service, layoff exceeding twelve months, upon
         termination of employment for any reason, including retirement,
         after reaching age 60, or in the event of a "change in control" of
         the Company as defined by the Plan.

         PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
         The Plan permits in-service withdrawals as defined in the Plan
         document, subject to certain restrictions. Distributions for
         terminations are comprised of the participant's personal
         contribution portion and the vested Company contribution portion of
         their account. Distributions for whole numbers of shares held in
         the Company stock fund are payable in Company shares, while the
         value of fractional shares and all interests in the other funds are
         payable in cash. Alternatively, the participant may elect to have
         nonshare investments transferred to the Company Stock Fund and
         distributed thereafter in shares with fractional shares distributed
         in cash. In-service distributions are payable at the election of
         the participant in Company shares or in cash.

         PARTICIPANT LOANS
         A participant may borrow from Before-Tax and/or After-Tax vested
         account balances subject to certain conditions. The minimum loan
         amount is $1,000; the maximum amount is the lesser of $50,000 less
         the highest outstanding loan balance under the Plan during the
         one-year period ending on the day before the loan is made, or 50
         percent of the vested account balance. The interest rate is set
         quarterly at prime plus one percentage point at the end of the
         preceding quarter. The term of a loan for the purchase of a
         principal residence may be up to 10 years; the term of a loan for
         any other reason may not exceed 5 years.

         PLAN TERMINATION
         The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, the
         Company may at anytime and for any reason, subject to the
         provisions of ERISA, suspend or terminate the Plan provided that
         such action does not adversely affect the rights of any participant
         under the Plan. Such termination would result in the immediate and
         full vesting of each participant's account balance. The Trustee
         would then retain the assets until otherwise distributable under

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the
         accrual method of accounting, except that benefits are recorded
         when paid.

         USE OF ESTIMATES
         The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
         accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
         America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
         affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes
         therein, and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results
         could differ from those estimates.

         INVESTMENTS
         The Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master
         Trust ("Master Trust") has been established for each of the
         investment funds for the investment of the Plan's assets and the
         assets of other stock purchase and savings plans sponsored by the
         Company.

         Investments in common stock, U.S. government securities, and
         corporate debt instruments are stated at fair value, which is
         determined based on quoted market prices. Investments in interest
         bearing cash, insurance contracts, interests in common/collective
         trusts, and interests in registered investment companies are stated
         at fair value as determined by the Trustee. Participant loans are
         valued at cost which approximates fair value.

         Purchases and sales of securities and related realized gains or
         losses, are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded
         on the accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the
         ex-dividend date. In accordance with the policy of stating
         investments at fair value, the Plan presents, in the statement of
         changes in net assets available for benefits, the net appreciation
         or depreciation in the fair value of its investments which consists
         of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation or
         depreciation on those investments.

         ALLOCATION OF ASSETS
         Units of participation in the Master Trust are allocated to
         participating plans based on the relationship of individual plan
         contributions to the market value of the Master Trust. Earned
         income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and
         administrative expenses are retained in the Master Trust and are
         allocated to participating plans by the Trustee, based on units of
         participation on the transaction date.

         RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
         The Plan's investment fund options provide participants with a
         variety of investment alternatives with differing levels of risk
         and income potential. Investment securities are exposed to various
         risks, such as significant world events, interest rate, credit and
         overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated
         with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty
         related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is
         reasonably possible that changes in

         the values of investments will occur in the near term and that such
         changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statement
         of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

         ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
         Under the Master Trust agreement with the Trustee, the Company may
         pay all expenses incurred in the administration of the Master
         Trust, including trustee fees, but is not obligated to do so.
         Trustee expenses not paid by the Company are paid by the Master
         Trust and proportionately allocated to the participating plans. All
         other expenses are paid by the Plan.

         CHANGE IN PRESENTATION
         During the Plan year ended March 31, 2003, the Plan changed its
         presentation of dividends, which were previously included in the
         Net transfers in (out) line of the Statement of Changes in Net
         Assets Available for Benefits. For comparability purposes, prior
         year information has been recast to conform to the 2003
         presentation.

3.       INTERESTS IN ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES, INC. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
         MASTER TRUST

         Effective September 1, 1995 the Company and the Trustee entered
         into a new master trust agreement. In accordance with the
         agreement, the Plan exchanged its investments in: the
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund, the
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Short Term Fixed Income Master
         Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Medium Term Fixed Income
         Master Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Capital Equity
         Index Fund Master Trust, the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.
         Managed Balanced Fund Master Trust, and the Anheuser-Busch
         Companies, Inc. Indexed Balanced Fund Master Trust for units of
         participation in the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined
         Contribution Master Trust. Effective March 26, 1996 the
         Earthgrains Company, Stock Fund was added to the Anheuser-Busch
         Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust. The Earthgrains
         Company Stock Fund was liquidated on August 10, 2001 as a result
         of Earthgrains Company being purchased by Sara Lee Corporation.
         Effective December 1, 2000 the Small/Mid Cap Stock Index Fund and
         the International Stock Index Fund were added to the
         Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust.
         The assets of the Master Trust are held by Mellon Bank, N.A.

         At both March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Plan's interest in the net
         assets of the Master Trust assets.

4.       INCOME TAX STATUS

         The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the
         Internal Revenue Service dated November 29, 2001, indicating that
         the Plan qualifies under the applicable provisions of Section 401
         of the IRC, and is therefore exempt from federal income taxes. The
         Plan has since been amended, however, the Plan administrator
         believes that the Plan has continued to be designed and operated in
         compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
