ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (FOR EMPLOYEES COVERED BY A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT) By: JOBETH G. BROWN ----------------------------------- JoBeth G. Brown Committee Member Dated: September 24, 1997 3 800 Market Street Telephone 314 206 8500 St. Louis, MO 63101 PRICE WATERHOUSE LLP [LOGO] REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS August 1, 1997 To the Participants and Administrator of the Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements 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 Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) at March 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 the opinion expressed above. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in Schedule I is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by ERISA. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and the changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. Schedule I and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (For Employee Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) Notes to Financial Statements Page 6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN GENERAL The Anheuser-Busch Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) (the Plan) was established as a result of an amendment to the Anheuser-Busch Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (the Original Plan). The Original Plan was established by Anheuser-Busch, Inc., effective April 1, 1976 and upon amendment, was divided into two separate plans effective March 1, 1986: the Deferred Income Stock Purchase and Savings Plan (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) and the Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan. The Plan is a continuation of the Original Plan except that certain additional features were added, including provisions for Before-Tax Contributions pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, eligibility was limited to employees who are members of collective units and whose collective bargaining agreement specifically provides for participation of such members. The Plan covers eligible employees of Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (the Company) and certain subsidiaries of the Company which include: Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated; Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation; August A. Busch & Co. of Massachusetts; Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc.; Manufacturers Railway Company; Pacific International Rice Mills, Inc.; Metal Container Corporation; and Precision Printing and Packaging, Inc. This summary is intended to provide only a general description of the Plan's provisions. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information. PLAN ADMINISTRATION The Plan's named fiduciaries are 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. The Plan was amended effective June 1, 1989, to add provisions to make the Plan a stock bonus plan and to permit the leveraged acquisition of Company stock by the Plan. As such, the Plan is subject to the requirements of an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Trustee was specifically empowered to enter into loans, on behalf of the Plan, to acquire Company stock or to repay a prior ESOP loan. 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 the decrease in the vesting period from three years to two years. ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) Notes to Financial Statements Page 7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAN PARTICIPATION Each employee of a participating employer (other than employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement) of the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan after one year of service, during which the employee worked 1,000 hours. Participation by eligible employees is voluntary. CONTRIBUTIONS A participant may make matched or unmatched contributions. Both matched and unmatched contributions may be before-tax and after-tax. A participant may contribute from 1% to 6% of his 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 2% nor more than 6% of the participant's base compensation. In addition, a participant may contribute from 1% to 10% of his base compensation through payroll deductions for Before-Tax Unmatched Contributions and After-Tax Unmatched Contributions; however, the unmatched contribution rates may not exceed 10% 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 contribution rates must not exceed 16% 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 for the year most recently ended. However, in no event may the participating employer's matching contribution be less than 33-1/3% nor more than 75% of the aggregate participant contributions. The Company may contribute an amount in excess of the matching contribution to enable the Plan to meet its debt service payments. 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 within 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, 1997 and 1996, no Supplemental Contributions were required. Employee contributions vest and become non-forfeitable immediately. Company contributions also vest and become non-forfeitable immediately for participants actively employed by the Company on or prior to March 31, 1989. For participants subsequently employed, Company contributions vest and become non-forfeitable after two years of service. Company contributions also vest and become non-forfeitable 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 in the Plan). Forfeitures of nonvested balances reduce future employer contributions. ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) Notes to Financial Statements Page 8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENTS The Trustee maintains an Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. common stock fund, an Earthgrains Company, Inc. common stock fund, a Short-Term Fixed Income Fund, a Medium-Term Fixed Income Fund, an Equity Index Fund, a Managed Balanced Fund, and an Indexed Balanced Fund for the investment of participant and employer contributions. All employer contributions are invested in the Company Stock Fund. At least one-half of each participant's Before-Tax Matched Contributions and at least one-half of each participant's 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 contributions to be invested in increments of 1% into any fund established under the Plan. The participant may direct that the unmatched contributions be deposited into any fund of the Plan in increments of 1%. Earnings are reinvested in the fund to which they relate. The Master Trusts had been established for each of the investment funds other than the Company Stock Fund for the investment of the Plan's assets and the assets of the other stock purchase and savings plans sponsored by the Company. On September 1, 1995, the Master Trusts for each investment fund were combined, along with the Company Stock Fund into a single Master Trust. DISTRIBUTIONS The Plan permits in-service withdrawals and an optional annual class year distribution as defined in the Plan document, subject to certain restrictions. Distributions for terminations are comprised of the participant's personal contribution portion of his account and the part of the Company contribution portion of his account which is vested. Termination and annual class year distributions for whole numbers of shares 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 non-share investments transferred to the Company Stock Fund and distributed thereafter in shares with fractional shares distributed in cash. In-service distributions other than annual class year 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. 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% of the vested account balance. The interest rate for the life of the loan is set quarterly at prime plus one percentage point based on the prime rate 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. ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) Notes to Financial Statements Page 9 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLAN 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 incurred in the administration of the Plan are paid by the participating employers. PLAN TERMINATION The Company anticipates that the Plan will continue without interruption but reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. 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 the Plan. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 financial statements to conform to current year presentation. INVESTMENT VALUATION Investments in common stock, U.S. government securities, and corporate debt instruments are stated at fair value based on the quoted market price at March 31, 1997. Investments in interest bearing cash, insurance contracts, and interests in common/collective trusts are stated at fair value as determined by the trustee. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME Purchases and sales of investments, and related realized gains and losses, are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized and unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments is comprised of the change in market value compared to the cost of investments retained in the Plan, and realized gains and losses on security transactions which represent the difference between proceeds and cost. ANHEUSER-BUSCH DEFERRED INCOME STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN (For Employees Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) Notes to Financial Statements Page 10 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALLOCATION OF ASSETS The Plan participates in the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust (Master Trust) established for the investments of this plan and the other stock purchase and savings plans sponsored by the Company. 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. 3. INTERESTS IN ANHEUSER-BUSCH COMPANIES, INC. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION MASTER TRUST Effective September 1, 1995 the Company and the Trustee entered in to a new master trust agreement. On September 1, 1995, in accordance with the agreement, the Plan exchanged it's investments in: the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Common Stock Fund, 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. The Earthgrains Company, Inc.'s Common Stock Fund was also added to the Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. Defined Contribution Master Trust. The assets of the Master Trust are held by Mellon Bank, N.A. (Trustee). At March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Plan's interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 48% and 48%, respectively.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated January 30, 1995 that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the underlying trust of such a Plan is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501 of the Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements. 5. NOTES PAYABLE In June 1989, the Plan issued $250 million in guaranteed 8.32% ESOP notes (Notes) to a group of insurance companies and other financial institutions. In September 1993, the interest rate was reduced to 8.25% per annum retroactive to January 1, 1993. Interest is payable semiannually.
