NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 21, 1998 and the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the
12 weeks ended March 21, 1998 and March 22, 1997 have not been audited, and all
but the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Note 2) have
been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles applied in our 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K (Annual Report) for the year ended December 27, 1997.
In our opinion, this information includes all material adjustments, which are of
a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. The results
for the 12 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the
year.
(2) As of December 28, 1997, PepsiCo adopted Statement of Position 98-1 (SOP),
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use," issued by The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
in March, 1998. The SOP requires capitalization of certain costs related to
computer software developed or obtained for internal use which PepsiCo had
previously expensed in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amount
capitalized under the SOP in the first quarter of 1998 was immaterial. PepsiCo
does not expect the full-year impact of adopting the SOP to be material to its
consolidated results.
As of December 28, 1997, PepsiCo adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income," issued in June
1997. SFAS 130 requires the reporting and display of comprehensive income, which
is composed of net income and other comprehensive income items, in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. Other comprehensive income items are
revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting
principles are excluded from net income and reflected as a component of equity;
such as currency translation and minimum pension liability adjustments.
(3) Through the 12 weeks ended March 21, 1998, PepsiCo repurchased 24.4 million
shares of its capital stock at a cost of $877 million. From March 22, 1998
through May 4, 1998, PepsiCo repurchased 4.0 million shares at a cost of $169
million.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS AND
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cautionary Statements
From time to time, in written reports and oral statements, we discuss our
expectations regarding PepsiCo's future performance. These "forward-looking
statements" are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic
data and our operating plans. They are also inherently uncertain, and investors
must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from
what we expect.
General
All per share information is computed using average shares outstanding, assuming
dilution.
Volume is the estimated dollar effect of the year-over-year change in case sales
by company-owned bottling operations and concentrate unit sales to franchisees
in Beverages, and pound or kilo sales of salty and sweet snacks in Snack Foods.
Effective net pricing includes price changes and the effect of product, package
and country mix.
Analysis of Consolidated Operations
Net sales rose $140 million or 3% reflecting volume gains in all businesses and
higher effective net pricing by Worldwide Snack Foods, partially offset by an
unfavorable foreign currency translation impact and the absence of sales
resulting from the refranchising of our Japanese bottler late in 1997.
Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased 0.6 points to 40.2% primarily
due to lower product costs in Worldwide Beverages and higher effective net
pricing in International Snack Foods, partially offset by lower potato yields in
Europe.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) comprises selling and
distribution expenses (S&D), advertising and marketing expenses (A&M), general
and administrative expenses (G&A), other income and expense and equity income or
loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. SG&A grew 5%, a faster rate
than sales. This primarily reflects A&M growing at a significantly faster rate
than sales driven by Worldwide Beverages and North American Snack Foods, as well
as an increase in G&A. The increased G&A reflects higher executive compensation
expense resulting from our deferred compensation liability, which is indexed to
various investment options, including PepsiCo capital stock. S&D grew slightly
slower than sales.
-10-
Amortization of intangible assets remained even with the prior year as the
effect of reducing intangible assets, as part of the unusual charges recorded
during the second quarter of 1997, was offset by an increase in intangible
assets resulting from our recent Snack Foods acquisitions.
Operating Profit increased $9 million or 2% to $590 million reflecting segment
operating profit growth of $11 million or 2%, partially offset by a $2 million
or 6% increase in unallocated expenses. The segment operating profit growth
reflects the increased volume and higher effective net pricing, which was
substantially offset by increased operating costs. Segment operating profit
growth also benefited from non-operating gains in North American Beverages and
North American Snack Foods, which were mostly offset by lapping a 1997 gain from
the sale of an investment in a non-core international snack food business.
Unallocated expenses include the increased executive compensation partially
offset by credits related to centrally managed insurance programs.
Interest expense, net of interest income, declined $59 million or 57%, primarily
due to lower average U.S. debt levels and higher average worldwide investment
levels reflecting the significant cash flows received from discontinued
operations in the latter half of 1997.
Provision for Income Taxes increased by $9 million or 6%. The effective tax rate
decreased 2.5 points to 31.0% primarily reflecting reserve reversals related to
settlement of prior years' audit issues and lapping the high effective tax rate
associated with the 1997 gain arising from the sale of the non-core investment
partially offset by an increase in foreign tax expense.
Income from Continuing Operations increased $59 million or 19% while Income Per
Share from Continuing Operations increased $0.04 or 20% to $0.24. The increases
were due to the lower net interest expense, the non-operating gains and the
lower effective tax rate. In addition, income per share benefited from a 3%
reduction in average shares outstanding.
Comprehensive Income increased $45 million or 14% due to a decline in other
comprehensive losses, driven by lapping unfavorable 1997 currency translation
effects of rate devaluations in the UK and Spain, partially offset by lower net
income, reflecting the absence of income from discontinued operations.

System bottler case sales (BCS) is our standard volume measure. It represents
PepsiCo-owned brands as well as brands we have been granted the right to
produce, distribute and market nationally. First quarter BCS includes the months
of January, February and March.
North America
Net sales increased $44 million primarily reflecting packaged products volume
growth.
BCS increased 2.5%, led by mid-single-digit growth by our Mountain Dew brand.
Non-carbonated soft drink products, led by Aquafina bottled water and
Frappuccino coffee drink grew at a strong double-digit rate. Our concentrate
shipments to franchisees grew at a faster rate than their BCS growth.
Operating profit was even with the prior year reflecting the volume growth,
non-operating gains and lower product costs, offset by increased A&M and S&D
costs. S&D grew faster than sales and volume reflecting higher depreciation
expense associated with an aggressive cooler and vendor placement program which
commenced in the second half of 1997. A&M and G&A expenses grew significantly
faster than sales and volume. The G&A growth includes the increased executive
compensation and higher spending on information systems.
-13-
International
Net sales declined $50 million. The decline was primarily driven by the absence
of sales resulting from the refranchising of our Japanese bottler late in 1997.
Volume gains were substantially offset by unfavorable currency translation
effects, led by Spain and Thailand.
BCS increased 6% as volume more than doubled in the Philippines, while
Mexico grew at a double-digit rate. In addition, BCS more than doubled in
Venezuela reflecting the momentum of our joint venture. These advances were
partially offset by the absence of sales volume in South Africa, due to the
cessation of our joint venture operation and, significantly lower volumes in
Japan. The decline in Japan reflects the elimination of certain beverages
previously sold, partially offset by double-digit growth in our remaining
brands. Total concentrate shipments to franchisees increased at a faster rate
than their BCS.
Operating losses declined $9 million. The improved operating results
reflect higher volumes, lower product costs and reduced G&A, partially offset by
increases in A&M. The favorable product costs were driven by reductions in
certain duty rates and lower packaging costs, while efficiencies from our 1996
restructuring continue to benefit G&A.

Pound and kilo sales are our standard volume measures. Pound and kilo growth are
reported on a systemwide basis, which includes currently consolidated businesses
and unconsolidated affiliates reported for at least one year.
North America
Net sales grew $108 million reflecting increased volume and favorable mix
shifts, including the effect of our new "WOW" product introduction.
Pound volume advanced 6%. Growth of our core brands, excluding their
low-fat and no-fat versions, was led by high double-digit growth in Lay's brand
potato chips and single-digit growth in Doritos brand tortilla chips. These
gains were partially offset by declines in our "Baked" products and the
elimination of Doritos Reduced Fat.
Operating profit grew $25 million, reflecting volume growth and a
non-operating gain, partially offset by higher A&M and S&D expenses. A&M grew at
twice the rate of sales and volume due to increased promotional allowances. G&A
grew slightly faster than sales due to the increased executive compensation.
-15-
International
Net sales increased $38 million reflecting volume gains, primarily driven by
Sabritas. Higher effective net pricing was fully offset by the impact of the
stronger U.S. dollar.
Salty snack kilos rose 10%, led by strong double-digit growth at Sabritas
and our Snack Ventures Europe joint venture, while sweet snack kilos declined
5%, due to continued market softness at Gamesa.
Operating profit decreased $23 million, primarily reflecting higher
operating costs and the effect of lapping the 1997 gain on the sale of a
non-core investment, partially offset by the higher effective net pricing and
the volume gains. Higher operating costs primarily reflect increased raw
material costs resulting from lower potato yields in Europe.
-16-
Cash Flows
Please refer to our 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding
our Liquidity and Capital Resources.
PepsiCo's 1998 consolidated cash and cash equivalents decreased $530 million
compared to a $15 million increase in 1997. The unfavorable swing primarily
reflects increased share repurchases, net debt repayments in 1998 compared to
net proceeds in 1997 and the absence of proceeds from the 1997 formation of a
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). These were partially offset by increased
proceeds from our investment portfolios.
Net cash provided by operating activities nearly tripled to $274 million,
reflecting an increase in income before all noncash charges and credits and
lower operating working capital growth, driven by a first quarter tax refund
that was used to offset payments.
Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities reflects a favorable swing
of $425 million resulting in cash provided of $313 million in 1998. The swing is
due to $727 million of increased proceeds from our short-term investment
portfolios, partially offset by a $190 million increase in acquisitions and
investments in unconsolidated affiliates and an increase in various other
investing activities, which was due to a number of individually immaterial
items. In the first quarter of 1998, we purchased the Cracker Jack brand and the
remaining ownership interest in a previously unconsolidated affiliate.
Net cash used for financing activities increased $989 million to $1.1 billion.
The increase primarily reflects increased share repurchases of $499 million and
a $298 million swing in debt related cash flows, as well as the absence of the
1997 REIT proceeds of $296 million.
Our share repurchase activity was as follows:

Free cash flow is a measure we use internally to evaluate our cash flow

for, other measures of financial performance in accordance with generally

The $109 million increase in our negative free cash flow primarily reflects the
absence of the cash flows from discontinued operations. The $49 million decline
in our negative free cash flow from continuing operations primarily reflects the
increase in net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by the
unfavorable swing in other investing activities. The negative free cash flow
reflects the seasonality of our business.

Independent Accountants' Review Report
The Board of Directors
PepsiCo, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 21, 1998 and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and cash flows for the
twelve weeks ended March 21, 1998 and March 22, 1997. These financial statements
are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.'s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as
of December 27, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended not presented
herein; and in our report dated February 3, 1998, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 27, 1997, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
