These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the fiduciaries of the Plan appointed by Philip Morris Companies Inc. or Kraft Foods, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the fiduciaries, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the income and changes in plan equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be included therein. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The fund information in the 1997 statements of financial condition and statements of income and changes in plan equity is presented for purposes of additional information rather than to present the financial condition and changes in income and plan equity of each fund. The fund information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. -8- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. General Description of the Plan: The Long Term Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan designed to assist employees in saving for retirement by providing eligible employees with a vehicle for investing a portion of their compensation and to receive a matching contribution from Kraft Foods, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Kraft Foods"). Kraft Foods is a subsidiary of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the "Company"). Hourly employees employed at specific locations of Kraft Foods who are not members of a collective bargaining unit participate in the Plan, provided they meet eligibility requirements. After completing one year of service, eligible employees are required to make a contribution on a before-tax or after-tax basis ("Basic Contribution") which is eligible for a matching contribution and may also make a contribution on a before-tax basis ("Supplemental Contribution"), in excess of their Basic Contribution, which is not eligible for a matching contribution. Matching contributions by Kraft Foods (the "Kraft Foods Matching Contributions") are contributed to the Plan (see Note 3). The provisions of the Plan are detailed in the official Plan document which legally governs the operation of the Plan. The administration of the Plan has generally been delegated to the Management Committee for Employee Benefits of Kraft Foods (the "Committee") comprised of employees of Kraft Foods. The Committee has appointed the Administrative Committee to handle certain Plan administration matters. The Corporate Employee Plans Investment Committee of Philip Morris Companies Inc. (the "Investment Committee") is responsible for the selection of the investment options in which participants elect to invest their assets in the Plan and monitors the performance of these investment options. The Committee and the Investment Committee are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Fiduciaries". Assets of the Plan are co-invested with the assets of the Kraft Foods Thrift Plan and other defined contribution plans sponsored by Kraft Foods in a commingled investment fund known as the Kraft Foods Master Defined Contribution Trust (hereinafter referred to as the "Trust") for which Bankers Trust Company (the "Trustee") serves as the trustee (see Note 6). Prior to January 1, 1997, participants' Plan Accounts (see Note 4) were invested solely in the Interest Income Fund. Effective January 1, 1997, participants have the option of investing their Plan Accounts in 25 percent increments in the four funds listed below. -9- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) INTEREST INCOME FUND - This fund consists primarily of investment contracts entered into by the Trustee with financial institutions, each of which agrees to repay in full the amounts invested with the institution, plus interest. The assets of the Interest Income Fund are also invested in pools of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, corporate bonds, and obligations of the United States Government and its agencies. As an integral part of the purchase of each pool of these investments for the Interest Income Fund, a financial institution agrees to protect the pool to the extent its market value fluctuates from original cost, but not in the event of a default of any security in the pool. EQUITY INDEX FUND - This fund is invested primarily in an index fund of stocks on a weighted average basis in approximately the same proportion as the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks ("S&P 500"). PHILIP MORRIS STOCK FUND - This fund is invested in the common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and short-term temporary investments. BALANCED FUND - This fund is invested primarily in a diversified mix of domestic and foreign stocks, investment grade bonds, international bonds, and investment grade money market funds. In general, the assets of the Balanced Fund may be invested according to the following mix: 40 percent to 70 percent in stocks, 20 percent to 55 percent in bonds, and zero percent to 25 percent in money market instruments. None of the foregoing funds guarantees a return to the participant. Effective January 1, 1997, participants may change their investment options quarterly. Each participant may vote all the shares of Common Stock held in his or her Plan Accounts and invested in the Philip Morris Stock Fund. The Trustee will vote full and fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with each individual participant's instruction. The Trustee votes those shares of Common Stock for which no or inadequate voting instructions have been received in the same proportions as the shares for which instructions have been received. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, there were 2,265 and 2,163 participants, respectively, some of whom elected to invest in more than one fund effective January 1, 1997. Set forth below is the number of participants investing in each fund.
DECEMBER 31, ------------ 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Interest Income Fund 1,806 2,163 Equity Index Fund 600 - Philip Morris Stock Fund 272 - Balanced Fund 476 -
-10- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Each participant is at all times fully vested in the balance of his or her After-Tax Contributions Account and Basic and Supplemental Before-Tax Contributions Accounts. A participant shall be fully vested in the balance in his or her Kraft Foods Matching Account upon attainment of age 65, death while employed by Kraft Foods or any of its affiliates, upon a change in control of the Company (see Note 3), or upon a termination of the Plan (see Note 10). Otherwise, a participant shall become vested in his or her Kraft Foods Matching Account based on the number of years of vesting service determined in accordance with the following schedule:
Vested Years of Service Percentage ---------------- ---------- Less than 5 0% 5 or more 100%
Forfeitures: Kraft Foods Matching Contributions forfeited by terminated participants are used to reduce future Kraft Foods Matching Contributions to the Plan. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Valuation of Trust Investments: Investments in common trust funds of the General Employee Benefit Common Trust of Bankers Trust Company ("GEBT") are valued on the basis of the relative interest of each participating investor (including each participant) in the fair value of the underlying assets of each of the respective GEBT common trust funds. Investment contracts and the pools of mortgaged-backed and asset- backed securities and other investments held in the Interest Income Fund are recorded at their contract values, which represent contributions and reinvested income, less any withdrawals plus accrued interest, because these investments have fully benefit-responsive features. For example, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. However, withdrawals influenced by employer-initiated events, such as in connection with the sale of a business, may result in a distribution at other than contract value. There are no reserves against contract values for credit risk of contract issuers or otherwise. The fair value of the investment contracts and the pools of mortgaged-backed and asset-backed securities and other investments at December 31, 1997 and 1996 was $639,429,002 and $712,947,862, respectively. The average yield and crediting interest rate of the Interest Income Fund was approximately seven percent for 1997 and 1996. The crediting interest rate for the pools of mortgaged-backed and asset-backed securities is reset periodically by the issuer based on the relationship between the contract value and the fair value of the underlying securities, but cannot be less than zero. The crediting interest rate for the investment contracts is either agreed-to in advance with the issuer or varies based on an agreed-to formula, but cannot be less than zero. -11- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price on the last business day of the year; listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are recorded at the last reported bid price. However, if trading in Common Stock has been suspended on the New York Stock Exchange on a trading day and not resumed before the end of the trading day, the Trustee will use the composite price listed in The Wall Street Journal on the next business day. Effective July 14, 1997, the Trustee will use a weighted average sales price method for valuing the portion of Participants' Accounts transferred from the Philip Morris Stock Fund if using the closing price or composite price of Common Stock results in a value of the Philip Morris Stock Fund which is at least one-tenth of one percent (.1%) less than the value using the weighted average sales price method. The weighted average sales price method uses the average of all of the prices for which Common Stock is sold over one or more business days as determined by the Trustee. Securities that are not listed on an exchange are generally traded in active markets and valued by the Trustee from quoted market prices. Short-term temporary investments are generally carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Investment Transactions and Investment Income of the Trust: Investment transactions are accounted for on the dates purchases or sales are executed. Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of average cost of investments sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date; interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. In accordance with the policy of stating investments at fair value, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments reflects both realized gains or losses and the change in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year-end (see Note 7). 3. Contributions: Eligible employees are required to make a Basic Contribution for each hour paid by Kraft Foods. The amount of Basic Contribution required of each participant varies depending on the work location of the participant. Participants may also make Supplemental Contributions based on each hour paid and may also be permitted to make Supplemental Contributions from special lump sum payments. The aggregate contributions actually made by participants may not cause the Plan to violate limitations on such contributions set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Code also imposes a dollar limitation on the amount of before-tax contributions for a calendar year. For 1997, a participant's before-tax contributions (whether in the form of Basic Contributions, Supplemental Contributions, or a combination of the two) were limited to $9,500; for 1998, a participant's before-tax contributions will be limited to $10,000. -12- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Kraft Foods Matching Contributions equal 100 percent of each participant's Basic Contributions to the Plan, subject to certain limitations under the Code. Participants' contributions are recorded in the period in which they are withheld by the Kraft Foods Companies. Kraft Foods Matching Contributions for the year are accrued by the Plan based upon the amount to be funded each year. Kraft Foods Matching Contributions and participant contributions are subject to specified limitations as described in the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). The Plan provides, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company, for the preservation of the Kraft Foods Matching Contributions for all participants for the year in which the Change of Control occurs and for two years thereafter. 4. Valuation of Participant Accounts: The Committee maintains Accounts for each participant to reflect the source and the participant's share of the funds invested in the Trust:
Account Source ------- ------ Kraft Foods Matching Account Kraft Foods Matching Contributions Basic Before-Tax Contributions Account Basic Contributions made with before-tax contributions After-Tax Contributions Account Basic Contributions made with after-tax contributions Supplemental Before-Tax Contributions Supplemental Contributions made Account with before-tax contributions
At the end of each calendar quarter, the Trustee determines the current fair value of each of the investment funds in the Trust described in Note 1. The fair value of each participant's share in the Trust is determined with respect to their Kraft Foods Matching Account, Basic Before-Tax Contributions Account, After-Tax Contributions Account and Supplemental Before-Tax Contributions Account on the basis of their proportionate share in each fund. 5. Distributions: Upon termination of employment, including retirement, distribution of a participant's Accounts is made in a lump sum. Normally, distributions are made approximately one month after a distribution is requested or is required under the Plan's terms. In the event the Plan is terminated, distributions will be made in accordance with the current value of participants' Accounts under the direction of the Committee and in accordance with the Code. -13- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands of dollars) (continued) 6. Investments Held by the Trust: The Plan's allocated share of the Trust's net assets and investment activities is based upon the total of each individual participant's share of the Trust. The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust and its approximate allocated share of the net assets of each fund in the Trust at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, were:
1997 1996 ------------ ------------ Trust less than 1% less than 1% Interest Income Fund 1% 1% Equity Index Fund less than 1% - Philip Morris Stock Fund less than 1% - Balanced Fund 1% -
The Plan's approximate allocated share of the Trust's investment activities for each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 was less than one percent. All expenses incurred in administering the Plan are borne by Kraft Foods, with the exception of investment management fees which are paid from the Plan's assets. For 1997 and 1996, the approximate amount of such expenses, expressed as a percentage of the average net assets of each fund under the Plan, are as follows:
1997 1996 ------------ ------------ Interest Income Fund .04% .04% Equity Index Fund - - Philip Morris Stock Fund - - Balanced Fund - -
Investments that represented five percent or more of total Trust assets as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, were:

-17- LONG TERM SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded) 8. Transactions with Parties in Interest: The Fiduciaries are not aware of any transaction between the Plan and a party in interest (as defined in ERISA) or disqualified person (as defined in the Code) to the Plan (1) which is prohibited under the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or the prohibited transaction provisions of the Code, or (2) which has not been exempted from such prohibitions pursuant to a class exemption issued by the Department of Labor. 9. Tax Status: By letter dated June 6, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Plan, as amended and in effect as of April 1, 1992, constitutes a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related Trust is, therefore, exempt from Federal income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has been subsequently amended and no determination as to the continued qualification of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and of the exemption of the related Trust from Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service. The Fiduciaries believe that the Plan continues to be designed and operated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. Accordingly, participants will not be subject to income tax on Kraft Foods Matching Contributions or before-tax contributions made on their behalf by Kraft Foods, nor on earnings credited to their Accounts until distributed. 10. Plan Termination: The Board of Directors of Kraft Foods has the right, subject to the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, to amend (retroactively or otherwise) the Plan, suspend making Kraft Foods Matching Contributions to the Plan or to terminate the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated or partially terminated (within the meaning of the Code), each affected participant will become fully vested in the balance in his or her Kraft Foods Matching Account. -18- SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Management Committee for Employee Benefits of Kraft Foods, Inc., having administrative responsibility of the Plan, has duly caused this annual report to be signed by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
