Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation:
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Kraft Foods Inc. (the
"Company") are unaudited. It is the opinion of the Company's management that all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results presented have
been reflected therein. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.
For interim reporting purposes, certain expenses are charged to results of
operations as a percentage of sales. Operating revenues and net earnings for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for the entire year.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2000 and for the three
years then ended, as filed in the Company's final prospectus for its initial
public offering ("IPO") of its Class A common stock as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 13, 2001.
Note 2. Initial Public Offering:
Prior to June 13, 2001, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Philip
Morris Companies Inc. ("Philip Morris"). On June 13, 2001, the Company completed
an IPO of 280,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $31.00
per share. The IPO proceeds, net of the underwriting discount and expenses, of
$8.4 billion were used to retire a portion of an $11.0 billion long-term note
payable to Philip Morris incurred in connection with the acquisition of Nabisco
Holdings Corp. ("Nabisco"). After the IPO, Philip Morris owns approximately
83.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock through its
ownership of 49.5% of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock and 100% of
the Company's Class B common stock. The Company's Class A common stock has one
vote per share while the Company's Class B common stock has ten votes per share.
Therefore, Philip Morris holds 97.7% of the combined voting power of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
Note 3. Related Party Transactions:
Philip Morris and certain of its affiliates provide the Company with various
services, including planning, legal, treasury, accounting, auditing, insurance,
human resources, office of the secretary, corporate affairs, information
technology and tax services. Billings to the Company were $154 million and $106
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $84
million and $57 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. During 2001, the Company entered into a formal agreement with
Philip Morris providing for a continuation of these services, the cost of which
is expected to increase to approximately $300 million in 2001 from $248 million
in 2000, as Philip Morris provides additional information technology and
financial services that the Company previously performed internally.
The Company also has long-term notes payable to Philip Morris and its affiliates
as follows:
June 30, December 31,
2001 2000

Notes payable in 2002, interest at 7.75% $ 2,557 $11,000

Notes payable in 2009, interest at 7.00% 5,000 5,000

Swiss franc notes payable in 2006, interest at 3.58% 692
--------- ---------
$11,557 $21,407
========= =========
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company used the IPO proceeds, net of the
underwriting discount and expenses, of $8.4 billion to retire a portion of the
$11.0 billion long-term note payable to Philip Morris. In addition, the
-10-
Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Company refinanced the two long-term Swiss franc notes payable to Philip Morris
with short-term Swiss franc borrowings from Philip Morris at variable interest
rates.
Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures:
Nabisco:
On December 11, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Nabisco for $55 per share in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase. Nabisco's balance sheet has been consolidated with the Company's
balance sheet since December 31, 2000, and, beginning January 1, 2001, Nabisco's
earnings have been included in the combined operating results of the Company.
Assuming the acquisition of Nabisco occurred on January 1, 2000, and that
effective January 1, 2000, the net proceeds of the IPO were used to retire a
portion of an $11.0 billion long-term note payable to Philip Morris and that the
shares issued immediately following the IPO were outstanding since January 1,
2000, pro forma operating revenues, net earnings, basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share would have been as follows:
For the Six Months Ended
June 30, 2000
-------------
(in millions, except per share data)
Operating revenues $17,061
=======
Net earnings $ 909
=======
Basic earnings per share $ 0.52
=======
Diluted earnings per share $ 0.52
=======
For the Three Months Ended
June 30, 2000
-------------
(in millions, except per share data)
Operating revenues $ 8,731
=======
Net earnings $ 512
=======
Basic earnings per share $ 0.30
=======
Diluted earnings per share $ 0.30
=======
The pro forma results do not give effect to any synergies expected to result
from the merger of Nabisco's operations with those of the Company. Accordingly,
the pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have
occurred if the acquisition had been consummated, and the IPO completed, on
January 1, 2000, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated
operating results.
-11-
Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The excess of the purchase price of Nabisco over the estimated fair value of the
net assets purchased was approximately $16.9 billion and is currently being
amortized over 40 years by the straight-line method, pending the Company's
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which the Company anticipates will
eliminate substantially all of the charges to earnings for goodwill
amortization. The allocation of excess purchase price is based upon preliminary
estimates and assumptions and is subject to revision when appraisals and
integration plans have been finalized. Accordingly, revisions to the allocation,
which may be significant, will be reported in a future period as increases or
decreases to amounts reported as goodwill, assets held for sale, other
intangible assets (including trade names), deferred income taxes and
amortization of goodwill.
The Company plans to sell a number of Nabisco businesses that do not align
strategically with its operations. Accordingly, the estimated selling prices of
these businesses, less costs of disposal, plus the estimated results of
operations through the estimated sales dates, are shown as assets held for sale
on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and total $240 million at
June 30, 2001. Assets held for sale at June 30, 2001, decreased by $36 million
from December 31, 2000, due primarily to a revision of estimated proceeds from
the sales of these businesses, partially offset by additional businesses to be
sold. Interest allocated to assets held for sale was offset by earnings of the
related businesses for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. During 2001,
the Company will finalize the Nabisco acquisition balance sheet, including the
completion of fair value appraisals of Nabisco's assets. During this process,
the Company will also finalize its plans to integrate the operations of Nabisco.
The Company anticipates closing a number of Nabisco manufacturing facilities.
Charges to close these facilities, estimated to be in a range of $500 million to
$600 million, will not be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of
earnings, but as adjustments to excess purchase price on the consolidated
balance sheet when plans are finalized and announced to employees.
The integration of Nabisco's operations may result in the closure of several of
the Company's existing facilities. During the first quarter of 2001, the Company
sold a North American food factory which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $29
million. The Company estimates that the closure of these facilities could result
in aggregate charges to the Company's consolidated statement of earnings over
the next twelve months in the range of $200 million to $300 million. These
charges will be recorded when the integration plans have been finalized and
announced.
Other acquisitions and divestitures:
During the first six months of 2001, the Company purchased coffee businesses in
Romania, Morocco and Bulgaria. The aggregate cost of these acquisitions was $80
million. The operating results of these businesses were not material to the
consolidated operating results of the Company in any of the periods presented.
During 2000, the Company purchased the outstanding common stock of Balance Bar
Co., a maker of energy and nutrition snack products. In a separate transaction,
the Company also acquired Boca Burger, Inc., a privately held manufacturer and
marketer of soy-based meat alternatives. The total cost of these acquisitions
was $358 million. The operating results of these businesses were not material to
the consolidated operating results of the Company in any of the periods
presented.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company sold a few small domestic and international
food businesses. The operating results of businesses divested were not material
to the consolidated operating results of the Company in any of the periods
presented.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share:
Basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were calculated using the
following:
For the Six Months Ended
June 30,
-------------------------------
2001 2000
------ -------
(in millions)
Net earnings $831 $1,038
==== ======
Weighted average shares for
basic and diluted EPS 1,483 1,455
===== =====
For the Three Months Ended
June 30,
-------------------------------
2001 2000
------ -------
(in millions)
Net earnings $505 $568
==== ====
Weighted average shares for
basic and diluted EPS 1,510 1,455
===== =====
For the first six months and the second quarter of 2001, options on 21 million
shares of Class A common stock were excluded from the calculation of weighted
average shares for diluted EPS because their effects were antidilutive. There
were no options outstanding in 2000.
Note 6. Contingencies:
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a variety of legal proceedings
arising out of the normal course of business, including a few cases in which
substantial amounts of damages are sought. The Company believes that it has
valid defenses and is vigorously defending the litigation pending against it.
While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management
believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the shares of
the Company's Class A common stock being sold in the IPO, some of the
underwriters of the IPO provided written copies of a "pre-marketing feedback"
form to certain potential purchasers of the Company's Class A common stock. The
feedback form was for internal use only and was designed to elicit orally
certain information from designated accounts as part of designing strategy in
connection with the IPO. This form may have constituted a prospectus that did
not meet the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.
If the distribution of this form by the underwriters did constitute a violation
of the Securities Act of 1933, persons who received this form, directly or
indirectly, and who purchased the Company's Class A common stock in the IPO may
have the right, for a period of one year from the date of the violation, to
obtain recovery of the consideration paid in connection with their purchase of
the Company's Class A common stock or, if they had already sold the stock,
attempt to recover losses resulting from their purchase of the Class A common
stock. The Company cannot determine the amount of Class A common stock that was
purchased by recipients of the "pre-marketing feedback" form. However, the
Company does not believe that any attempts to rescind these
-13-
Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
purchases or to recover these losses will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 7. Segment Reporting:
The Company manufactures and markets packaged retail food products, consisting
principally of beverages, cheese, snacks, convenient meals and various grocery
products through its North American and international food businesses.
Reportable segments for the North American business are organized and managed
principally by product category. The North American food segments are Cheese,
Meals and Enhancers; Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery; Beverages, Desserts and
Cereals; and Oscar Mayer and Pizza. Kraft Foods North America's food service
business within the United States and its businesses in Canada and Mexico are
managed under the Cheese, Meals and Enhancers segment. International operations
are organized and managed by geographic location. The international food
segments are Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Latin America and Asia Pacific.
The Company's management reviews operating companies income to evaluate segment
performance and allocate resources. Operating companies income excludes general
corporate expenses and amortization of goodwill. Interest and other debt
expense, net and provision for income taxes are centrally managed and,
accordingly, such items are not presented by segment since they are excluded
from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by management.
Reportable segment data were as follows:

During the first quarter of 2001, the Company sold a North America food factory
which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $29 million. The loss was included in the
Cheese, Meals and Enhancers segment for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Note 8. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its related amendment, SFAS
No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities" (collectively referred to as "SFAS No. 133"). These standards
require that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the
consolidated balance sheets at their fair value as either assets or liabilities.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or
accumulated other comprehensive losses, depending on whether a derivative is
designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in
accumulated other comprehensive losses are included in earnings in the periods
in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The adoption of these new
standards did not have a material effect on net earnings (less than $1 million)
or accumulated other comprehensive losses (less than $1 million).
The Company operates internationally, with manufacturing and sales facilities in
various locations around the world and utilizes certain financial instruments to
manage its foreign currency and commodity exposures, primarily related to
forecasted transactions. For a derivative to qualify as a hedge at inception and
throughout the hedged period, the Company formally documents the nature and
relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its
risk-management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge
transactions and method of assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for
hedges of forecasted
-16-
Kraft Foods Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
transactions, the significant characteristics and expected terms of a forecasted
transaction must be specifically identified, and it must be probable that each
forecasted transaction will occur. If it were deemed probable that the
forecasted transaction will not occur, the gain or loss would be recognized in
earnings currently. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must
maintain a specified level of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and
the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.
The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to changes in
foreign currency exchange rates from third-party and intercompany forecasted
transactions. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the
Euro, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc and the British pound. The effective portion
of unrealized gains and losses associated with forward contracts are deferred as
a component of accumulated other comprehensive losses until the underlying
hedged transactions are reported on the Company's consolidated statement of
earnings.
The Company uses commodity forward contracts, as cash flow hedges, primarily for
coffee, cocoa, milk, cheese and wheat. Commodity futures and options are also
used to hedge the price of certain commodities, including milk, coffee, cocoa,
wheat, corn, sugar and energy. In general, commodity forward contracts qualify
for the normal purchase exception under SFAS No. 133 and are, therefore, not
subject to the provisions of the statement. The effective portion of unrealized
gains and losses on commodity futures and option contracts is deferred as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive losses and is recognized as a
component of cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings
when the related inventory is sold.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value of an insignificant
portion of its long-term debt. During the six months and quarter ended June 30,
2001, there was no ineffectiveness relating to these fair value hedges.
Accordingly, there was no net impact on interest and other debt expense for the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 2001, from the use of these interest rate
swaps.
During the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2001, a pre-tax gain of $10
million and $9 million, respectively, was reported in the consolidated statement
of earnings due to cash flow hedge ineffectiveness. The Company is hedging
forecasted transactions for no more than the next twelve months and expects all
amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive losses to be reclassified to
the consolidated statement of earnings within that time frame.
Hedging activity affected accumulated other comprehensive losses during the six
months and the three months ended June 30, 2001, as follows:

The Company does not engage in trading or other speculative use of financial
instruments. Derivative losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive
losses are a result of qualifying hedging activity and transfers of these losses
from accumulated other comprehensive losses to earnings are offset by gains on
the underlying hedged activity.
Note 9. Stock Plans:
The Company's Board of Directors has adopted the 2001 Kraft Performance
Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was established concurrently with the IPO.
Under the Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock and other awards based on the Company's Class A common stock,
as well as performance-based annual and long-term incentive awards. Up to 75
million shares of the Company's Class A common stock may be issued under the
Plan. The Company's Board of Directors granted options for 21,029,777 shares of
Class A common stock concurrent with the closing date of the IPO (June 13, 2001)
at an exercise price equal to the IPO price of $31.00 per share. A portion of
the shares granted (18,904,637) becomes exercisable on January 31, 2003, and
will expire ten years from the date of the grant. The remainder of the shares
granted (2,125,140) will become exercisable on a schedule based on total
shareholder return for the Company's Class A common stock during the three years
following the date of the grant, with any remainder exercisable five years from
the date of the grant. These options will also expire ten years from the date of
the grant.
The Company's Board of Directors has also adopted the Kraft Director Plan. Under
the Kraft Director Plan, only members of the Board of Directors who are not
full-time employees of the Company or Philip Morris or their subsidiaries are
granted awards. Up to 500,000 shares of Class A common stock may be awarded
under the Kraft Director Plan. As of June 30, 2001, no awards have been granted
under this plan.
The Company accounts for employee stock compensation plans in accordance with
the intrinsic value-based method permitted by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which does not result in compensation cost.
Note 10. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting
for Certain Sales Incentives." EITF Issue No. 00-14 addresses the recognition,
measurement and statement of earnings classification for certain sales
incentives and will be effective in the first quarter of 2002. As a result,
certain items previously included in cost of sales and in marketing,
administration and research costs on the consolidated statement of earnings will
be recorded as a reduction of operating revenues. The Company has determined
that the impact of adoption or subsequent application of EITF Issue No. 00-14
will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations. Upon adoption, prior period amounts, which are not
expected to be significant, will be reclassified to conform to the new
requirements. In addition, in April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF
Issue No. 00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid
to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products." EITF Issue No. 00-25 requires that
certain expenses included in marketing, administration and research costs be
recorded as a reduction of operating revenues and will be effective in the first
quarter of 2002. The Company is currently in the process of determining the
impact of EITF Issue No. 00-25.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Effective January 1, 2002, the Company will no longer be required to
amortize goodwill and certain other intangible assets as a charge to earnings.
In addition, the Company will be required to review goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. The Company is currently in the
process of quantifying the impact of the new standards. However, the Company
anticipates that substantially all amortization of goodwill as a charge to
earnings will be eliminated.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Environment
The Company is the largest branded food and beverage company headquartered in
the United States. Prior to June 13, 2001, the Company was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Philip Morris Companies Inc. ("Philip Morris"). On June 13, 2001,
the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of 280,000,000 shares
of its Class A common stock at a price of $31.00 per share. The IPO proceeds,
net of the underwriting discount and expenses, of $8.4 billion were used to
retire a portion of an $11.0 billion long-term note payable to Philip Morris
incurred in connection with the acquisition of Nabisco Holdings Corp.
("Nabisco"). After the IPO, Philip Morris owns approximately 83.9% of the
outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock through its ownership of
49.5% of the Company's outstanding Class A common stock, and 100% of the
Company's Class B common stock. The Class A common stock has one vote per
share while the Company's Class B common stock has ten votes per share.
Therefore, Philip Morris holds 97.7% of the combined voting power of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
The Company conducts its global business through two units: Kraft Foods North
America and Kraft Foods International. Kraft Foods North America manages its
operations by product category, while Kraft Foods International manages its
operations by geographic region. Kraft Foods North America's segments are
Cheese, Meals and Enhancers; Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery; Beverages,
Desserts and Cereals; and Oscar Mayer and Pizza. Kraft Foods North America's
food service business within the United States and its businesses in Canada and
Mexico are managed under the Cheese, Meals and Enhancers segment. Kraft Foods
International's segments are Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Latin America
and Asia Pacific.
Kraft Foods North America and Kraft Foods International are subject to
fluctuating commodity costs, currency movements and competitive challenges in
various product categories and markets, including a trend toward increasing
consolidation in the retail trade and changing consumer preferences. To confront
these challenges, the Company continues to take steps to build the value of its
brands and improve its food business portfolio with new products and marketing
initiatives.
Fluctuations in commodity costs can cause retail price volatility, intensify
price competition and influence consumer and trade buying patterns. The North
American and international food businesses are subject to fluctuating commodity
costs, including dairy, coffee bean and cocoa costs. Dairy commodity costs on
average have been higher than the levels seen in 2000. Cocoa bean prices have
also been higher, while coffee bean prices have been lower than 2000. During the
latter part of 2000 and into 2001, energy costs rose in response to higher
prices charged for oil and natural gas. However, this increase in energy costs
did not have a material adverse effect on operating results of the Company.
On December 11, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Nabisco for $55 per share in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a
purchase. Nabisco's balance sheet has been consolidated with the Company's
balance sheet since December 31, 2000 and, beginning January 1, 2001, Nabisco's
earnings have been included in the consolidated operating results of the
Company.
The Company plans to sell a number of Nabisco businesses that do not align
strategically with its operations. Accordingly, the estimated selling prices of
these businesses less costs of disposal plus the estimated results of operations
through the estimated sales dates are shown as assets held for sale on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets. During 2001, the Company will finalize
its plans to integrate the operations of Nabisco. The Company anticipates
closing a number of Nabisco manufacturing facilities. Charges to close these
facilities, estimated to be in a range of $500 million to $600 million, will not
be recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings, but as
adjustments to excess purchase price on the consolidated balance sheet when
plans are finalized and announced to employees.
-19-
The integration of Nabisco's operations may result in closing several of the
Company's existing facilities. During the first six months of 2001, the Company
sold a North American food factory which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $29
million. The Company estimates that the closure of these facilities could result
in aggregate charges to the Company's consolidated statement of earnings over
the next twelve months in the range of $200 million to $300 million. These
charges will be recorded when the integration plans have been finalized and
announced to employees.
During 2001, the Company purchased coffee businesses in Romania, Morocco and
Bulgaria. The aggregate cost of these acquisitions was $80 million. The
operating results of these businesses were not material to the consolidated
operating results of the Company in any of the periods presented.
During 2000, the Company purchased the outstanding common stock of Balance Bar
Co., a maker of energy and nutrition snack products. In a separate transaction,
the Company also acquired Boca Burger, Inc., a privately held manufacturer and
marketer of soy-based meat alternatives. The total cost of these acquisitions
was $358 million. The operating results of these businesses were not material to
the consolidated operating results of the Company in any of the periods
presented.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company sold a few small domestic and international
food businesses. The operating results of businesses divested were not material
to the consolidated operating results of the Company in any of the periods
presented.
Consolidated Operating Results
The following tables and the subsequent discussion of the Company's consolidated
operating results will refer to results on a reported and pro forma basis.
Reported results include the operating results of Nabisco in 2001, but not in
2000. Reported results also reflect average shares of common stock outstanding
during 2001 and assume an average of 1.455 billion shares outstanding during
2000. Pro forma results assume the Company owned Nabisco for all of 2000, rather
than from the actual acquisition date of December 11, 2000. In addition, pro
forma results reflect common shares outstanding of 1.735 billion based on the
assumption that shares issued immediately following the recent IPO were
outstanding during all periods presented and that effective January 1, 2000, the
net proceeds of the IPO were used to retire a portion of a long-term note
payable used to finance the Nabisco acquisition. These results also adjust for
certain items as detailed on the tables, including results from operations
divested since the beginning of 2000.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Reported volume for the first six months of 2001 increased 2,171 million pounds
(32.8%) over the comparable 2000 period, due primarily to the acquisition of
Nabisco. Pro forma volume increased 3.3% over the first six months of 2000, due
to increases in all segments.
Reported operating revenues for the first six months of 2001 increased $3,625
million (27.0%) over the comparable 2000 period, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco. The operating revenue comparison for the first six
months was affected by approximately $97 million of incremental sales made
during the fourth quarter of 1999, as the Company's customers planned for
potential business failures related to the Century Date Change ("CDC"). These
incremental CDC sales would have normally been made during the first quarter of
2000. Pro forma operating revenues decreased slightly from the first six months
of 2000 as the adverse effects of currency exchange rates and lower pricing
(driven by coffee commodity-related price declines) were mostly offset by higher
volume.
Reported operating companies income, which is defined as operating income before
general corporate expenses and amortization of goodwill, was affected by the
following unusual item during the first six months of 2001:
o Sale of Food Factory - The Company sold a North American food factory during
the first quarter of 2001, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $29 million that
was recorded in the Cheese, Meals and Enhancers segment. The integration of
Nabisco into the Company may result in the closure of additional Kraft
facilities. The Company estimates that these closures could result in
aggregate charges of $200 million to $300 million, which will be
-21-
recorded as expense in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings in
the period when plans are finalized and announced to employees.
The operating companies income comparison was also affected by approximately $40
million of operating income from the previously mentioned CDC sales.
Reported operating companies income increased $635 million (26.5%) over the
first six months of 2000, due primarily to the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro
forma basis, operating companies income increased $206 million (7.2%), due to
higher results in all segments.
Currency movements have decreased operating revenues by $360 million and
operating companies income by $47 million from the first six months of 2000.
Declines in operating revenues and operating companies income are due to the
strength of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and certain Asian and Latin
American currencies. Although the Company cannot predict future movements in
currency exchange rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar, primarily against the
Euro, if sustained during the remainder of 2001, could continue to have an
unfavorable impact on operating revenues and operating companies income
comparisons with 2000.
Reported interest and other debt expense, net, increased $674 million in the
first six months of 2001 over $259 million in the first six months of 2000. This
increase was due primarily to notes issued to Philip Morris in the fourth
quarter of 2000 in connection with the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma
basis, interest and other debt expense, net, decreased $37 million in the first
six months of 2001 from $668 million in the first six months of 2000.
During the first six months of 2001, the Company's reported effective tax rate
increased by 4.1 percentage points to 45.5% as compared to the first six months
of 2000, due primarily to higher goodwill amortization, which is not tax
deductible, related to the acquisition of Nabisco.
Reported diluted and basic earnings per share ("EPS"), which were both $0.56 for
the first six months of 2001, decreased by 21.1% from the first six months of
2000, due primarily to higher levels of goodwill amortization and interest
expense associated with the acquisition of Nabisco. Reported net earnings of
$831 million for the first six months of 2001 decreased $207 million (19.9%)
from the comparable period of 2000. On a pro forma basis, diluted and basic EPS,
which were both $0.58 for the first six months of 2001, increased by 11.5% from
the first six months of 2000, due primarily to higher operating results in all
segments. Pro forma net earnings of $1,014 million for the first six months of
2001 increased $105 million (11.6%) from the comparable period of 2000.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
Reported volume for the second quarter of 2001 increased 1,004 million pounds
(28.6%) over the comparable 2000 period, due primarily to the acquisition of
Nabisco. Pro forma volume increased 3.4% from the second quarter of 2000, due to
increases in all segments.
Reported operating revenues for the second quarter of 2001 increased $1,718
million (24.6%) over the comparable 2000 period, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco. Pro forma operating revenues decreased slightly over the
second quarter of 2000, as the adverse effect of currency exchange rates and
lower pricing (driven primarily by coffee commodity-related price declines) was
mostly offset by higher volume.
Reported operating companies income increased $366 million (28.5%) over the
second quarter of 2000, due primarily to the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro
forma basis, operating companies income increased $114 million (7.4%), due
primarily to higher results in all segments.
Currency movements have decreased operating revenues by $187 million and
operating companies income by $27 million from the second quarter of 2000.
Declines in operating revenue and operating companies income are primarily due
to the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and certain Asian and Latin
American currencies. Although the Company cannot predict future movements in
currency rates, the strength of the U.S. dollar, primarily against the Euro, if
sustained during the remainder of 2001, could continue to have an unfavorable
impact on operating revenues and operating companies income comparisons with
2000.
Reported interest and other debt expense, net, increased $319 million in the
second quarter of 2001 over $132 million in the second quarter of 2000. This
increase was due primarily to notes issued to Philip Morris in the fourth
quarter of 2000 in connection with the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma
basis, interest and other debt expense, net, decreased $24 million in the second
quarter of 2001 from $337 million in the second quarter of 2000.
During the second quarter of 2001, the Company's effective tax rate increased by
3.3 percentage points to 44.7% as compared to the second quarter of 2000, due
primarily to higher goodwill amortization, which is not tax deductible, related
to the acquisition of Nabisco.
Reported diluted and basic EPS, which were both $0.33 for the second quarter of
2001, decreased by 15.4% from the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to
higher levels of goodwill amortization and interest expense associated with the
acquisition of Nabisco. Reported net earnings of $505 million for the second
quarter of 2001 decreased $63 million (11.1%) from the comparable period of
2000. However, on a pro forma basis, diluted and basic EPS, which were both
$0.33 for the second quarter of 2001, increased by 10.0% from the second quarter
of 2000, due primarily to higher operating results in all segments. Pro forma
net earnings of $581 million for the second quarter of 2001 increased $69
million (13.5%) from the comparable period of 2000.
Euro
Twelve of the fifteen member countries of the European Union have established
fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies ("legacy currencies")
and one common currency--the Euro. Beginning in January 2002, new
Euro-denominated currency (bills and coins) will be issued, and legacy
currencies will be withdrawn from circulation. The Company's operating
subsidiaries affected by the Euro conversion have established and, where
required, implemented plans to address the systems and business issues raised by
the Euro currency conversion. These issues include, among others: (1) the need
to adapt computer and other business systems and equipment to accommodate
Euro-denominated transactions; and (2) the competitive impact of cross-border
price transparency, which may make it more difficult for businesses to charge
different prices for the same products on a country-by-country basis,
particularly once the Euro currency is issued in 2002. The Euro conversion has
not had, and the Company currently anticipates that it will not have, a material
adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Reported volume for the first six months of 2001 increased 31.8% over the
comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro
forma basis, volume for the first six months of 2001 increased 3.0% over the
comparable period of 2000, due primarily to increased shipments in the
Beverages, Desserts and Cereals segment and the Oscar Mayer and Pizza segment,
as well as contributions from new products.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased
$3,357 million (35.6%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($3,204 million), higher volume ($343 million) and the
shift in CDC revenues ($71 million), partially offset by unfavorable product mix
($196 million) and unfavorable currency movements ($49 million). On a pro forma
basis, operating revenues increased 1.7%, due primarily to higher revenues from
the Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery segment and the Oscar Mayer and Pizza
segment.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$554 million (28.5%) over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($513 million), higher volume ($200 million) and the
shift in CDC income ($27 million), partially offset by unfavorable product mix
($125 million) and the loss on the sale of a North American food factory ($29
million). On a pro forma basis, operating companies income increased 7.0%.
The following discusses operating results within each of Kraft Foods North
America's business segments.
Cheese, Meals and Enhancers. Reported volume in the first six months of 2001
increased 9.7% over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the first six months of
2001 increased slightly over the comparable period of 2000, as increased
shipments to grocery customers were partially offset by lower U.S. food services
volume. Meals recorded volume gains, reflecting higher shipments of macaroni and
cheese dinners and rice. In Canada, shipments increased as a result of higher
consumption of branded products and new product introductions. Branded cheese
volume increased due primarily to higher shipments of cheese slices, natural
cheese and cottage cheese. However, overall cheese shipments declined due to the
Company's decision to exit the lower-margin, non-branded cheese business.
-26-
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $503
million (10.6%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($447 million), higher volume ($63 million) and the shift
in CDC revenues ($34 million), partially offset by unfavorable currency
movements ($40 million). On a pro forma basis, operating revenues increased
slightly over the comparable period of 2000, as unfavorable currency partially
offset the revenue impact of higher volume.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$112 million (11.4%) over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($117 million), higher volume ($34 million) and the shift
in CDC income ($15 million), partially offset by the loss on the sale of a North
American food factory ($29 million), unfavorable currency ($7 million) and
unfavorable margins due to higher dairy commodity costs. On a pro forma basis,
operating companies income increased 2.7%.
Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery. Reported volume in the first six months of
2001 increased more than 100% over the comparable period of 2000, due to the
acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the first six months of
2001 increased 1.9% over the comparable period in 2000, due primarily to new
product introductions in biscuits and confectionery. In salty snacks, volume
declined due primarily to lower shipments of nuts to non-grocery channels.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased
$2,691 million or more than 100% over the first six months of 2000, due to the
acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, operating revenues increased 4.0%,
due primarily to higher volume driven by new biscuit and confectionery products.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$371 million, or more than 100% over the comparable period of 2000, due to the
acquisition of Nabisco, partially offset by higher marketing, administration and
research costs ($9 million). On a pro forma basis, operating companies income
increased 24.9%, due primarily to higher volume from new biscuit and
confectionery products and synergy savings resulting from the Nabisco
acquisition.
Beverages, Desserts and Cereals. Reported volume in the first six months of 2001
increased 10.5% over the comparable period in 2000, including the acquisition
of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the first six months of 2001
increased 7.2% over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to beverages,
where volume increased due primarily to increased shipments of ready-to-drink
products. Volume in coffee declined slightly as lower shipments of Maxwell House
were partially offset by an increase in Starbucks coffee sold through grocery
stores. In the desserts business, volume was below the prior year, as lower
shipments of dry packaged and refrigerated ready-to-eat desserts were partially
offset by increases in shelf-stable puddings and nutrition and energy snack
bars. Cereal volume declined due primarily to increased competition in the
ready-to-eat cereal category.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $54
million (1.9%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to higher volume
($220 million), the acquisition of Nabisco ($59 million), the acquisition of
Balance Bar Co. ($19 million) and the shift in CDC revenues ($22 million),
partially offset by unfavorable product mix ($218 million, due primarily to the
increase in shipments of ready-to-drink beverages which generate lower revenues
per pound) and lower pricing ($49 million, due primarily to lower coffee
commodity-related price reductions). On a pro forma basis, operating revenues
decreased 1.2%, reflecting commodity-related price reductions on coffee
products.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$50 million (7.9%) over the comparable period of 2000, primarily reflecting
higher volume ($138 million), the acquisition of Nabisco ($6 million), higher
margins ($19 million), lower marketing, administration and research costs ($29
million) and the shift in CDC income ($7 million), partially offset by
unfavorable product mix ($147 million, due primarily to higher shipments of
ready-to-drink beverages). On a pro forma basis, operating companies income
increased 5.8%.
Oscar Mayer and Pizza. Reported volume in the first six months of 2001 increased
4.4% over the comparable period of 2000, due to volume gains in both processed
meats and pizza. Adjusting for the shift in CDC
-27-
shipments, volume in the first six months of 2001 increased 3.8%. The processed
meats business recorded volume gains in hot dogs, bacon, luncheon meats and
soy-based meat alternatives. Lunch combinations consumption at retail increased
due to new products. Volume in the pizza business increased driven by new
products.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $109
million (6.3%) over the first six months of 2000 due primarily to higher volume
($66 million), favorable product mix ($25 million), the shift in CDC revenues
($12 million) and the acquisition of Boca Burger, Inc. ($7 million). Adjusting
for the shift in CDC revenues, operating revenues increased 5.5%.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$21 million (7.2%) over the comparable period of 2000 primarily reflecting

Reported volume for the first six months of 2001 increased 35.7% over the first
six months of 2000, due primarily to the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma
basis, volume for the first six months of 2001 increased 4.2% over the
comparable period of 2000, benefiting from gains across most consumer sectors
and driven by continued growth in the developing markets of Central and Eastern
Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $268
million (6.7%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($591 million), higher volume ($46 million) and the shift
in CDC revenues ($26 million), partially offset by unfavorable currency
movements ($311 million), the revenues of divested businesses ($103 million) and
lower pricing (due primarily to commodity-related coffee price decreases). On a
pro forma basis, operating revenues decreased 4.9%, reflecting unfavorable
currency movements and commodity-related coffee price decreases.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$81 million (17.8%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($47 million), higher volume ($28 million), favorable
margins ($13 million), the shift in CDC income ($13 million) and lower
marketing, administration and research costs ($34 million), partially offset by
unfavorable currency ($40 million) and income of divested businesses ($19

The following discusses operating results within each of Kraft Foods
International's business segments.
Europe, Middle East and Africa. Reported and pro forma volume for the first six
months of 2001 increased slightly from the comparable period of 2000, as gains
in the developing markets of Central and Eastern Europe and growth in many
Western European markets were mostly offset by lower volume in Germany,
reflecting increased price competition and trade inventory reductions and lower
canned meats volume in Italy. In beverages, volume increased in both coffee and
refreshment beverages. Coffee volume grew in many Western European markets, as
well as in Romania, Morocco and Bulgaria, which benefited from recent
acquisitions. Refreshment beverages volume increased, driven by gains in the
Czech Republic and higher sales to the Middle East and Africa. Snacks volume
increased, driven by confectionery and salty snacks. Cheese volume grew, driven
primarily by cream cheese in Italy and the Netherlands, and process cheese
spreads in the United Kingdom. In grocery, lower volume in Germany was partially
offset by higher spoonable dressings shipments in Spain and Greece.
Reported operating revenues for the first six months of 2001 decreased $310
million (9.2%) from the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to unfavorable
currency movements ($224 million), revenues from divested businesses ($97
million) and lower pricing ($55 million, primarily coffee pricing due to
declining
-29-
commodity costs), partially offset by the acquisition of Nabisco ($22 million),
higher volume ($20 million) and the shift in CDC revenues ($14 million). On a
pro forma basis, operating revenues decreased 7.5%, reflecting unfavorable
currency movements and commodity-related coffee price decreases.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 decreased
slightly (0.3%) from the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to unfavorable
currency movements ($27 million), offset by higher volume ($19 million) and the
shift in CDC income ($8 million). On a pro forma basis, operating companies
income increased 2.5%.
Latin America and Asia Pacific. Reported volume for the first six months of 2001
increased more than 100% from the comparable period in 2000, due primarily to
the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume for the first six
months of 2001 increased 9.7% over the comparable period of 2000, due to gains
across most consumer sectors. Beverages volume increased, due primarily to
growth in refreshment beverages, including powdered soft drinks in Brazil, China
and the Philippines and juice concentrate in Brazil. Snacks volume increased,
driven primarily by higher biscuit volume in Brazil and China. In confectionery,
volume was lower, as a decline in chocolate confectionery in Brazil was
partially offset by gains in chewy candy in China. Cheese volume increased due
primarily to cream cheese in Australia, Japan and the Caribbean, and process
cheese in Australia and the Philippines. Grocery volume was higher, due
primarily to higher shipments of spoonable dressings in the Philippines.
During the first six months of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $578
million (91.6%) over the first six months of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco, higher volume ($26 million) and the shift in CDC
revenues ($12 million), partially offset by unfavorable currency movements ($87
million). On a pro forma basis, operating revenues increased 2.7%.
Reported operating companies income for the first six months of 2001 increased
$82 million (90.1%) over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($48 million), lower marketing, administration and
research costs ($25 million), higher volume ($9 million), higher margins and the
shift in CDC income ($5 million), partially offset by unfavorable currency
movements ($13 million). On a pro forma basis, operating companies income

The following discusses operating results within each of Kraft Foods North
America's business segments.
Cheese, Meals and Enhancers. Reported volume in the second quarter of 2001
increased 6.8% over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the second quarter of
2001 increased 0.5% over the comparable period in 2000, as increased shipments
to grocery customers were partially offset by a decline in the U.S. food
services business and the discontinuation of lower-margin, non-branded cheese
products. Volume gains in meals reflected higher shipments of dinners. In
Canada, increased shipments were driven by higher consumption of branded
products and new product introductions. Branded cheese volume was up, driven by
increases in cheese slices and natural cheese.
During the second quarter of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $243
million (9.7%) over the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to the acquisition
of Nabisco ($226 million), and higher volume ($39 million), partially offset by
unfavorable currency movements ($24 million). On a pro forma basis, operating
revenues increased 0.7%.
Reported operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 increased $70
million (13.2%) over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($66 million), lower marketing, administration and
research costs ($48 million) and higher volume ($26 million), partially offset
by higher costs ($53 million, driven by higher cheese commodity costs),
unfavorable product mix ($9 million) and unfavorable currency movements. On a
pro forma basis, operating companies income increased 1.7%.
Biscuits, Snacks and Confectionery. Reported volume in the second quarter of
2001 increased more than 100% over the comparable period in 2000, due to the
acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the second quarter of
2001 increased 0.6% over the comparable period in 2000, due primarily to new
product introductions in biscuits and confectionery. In salty snacks, volume
declined, due primarily to lower shipments of nuts to non-grocery channels.
During the second quarter of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $1,325
million, more than 100% over the second quarter of 2000, due to the acquisition
of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, operating revenues increased 2.7%, due
primarily to higher volume driven by new biscuit and confectionery products.
Reported operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 increased
$227 million, more than 100%, from the comparable period of 2000, primarily
reflecting the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, operating companies
income increased 28.1%, due primarily to revenue growth in biscuits and synergy
savings resulting from the Nabisco acquisition.
Beverages, Desserts and Cereals. Reported volume in the second quarter of 2001
increased 8.6% over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to volume gains
in beverages and the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume in the
second quarter of 2001 increased 7.2% over the comparable period of 2000, due
primarily to volume gains in ready-to-drink refreshment beverages. Volume in
coffee declined despite an increase in Starbucks coffee sold to grocery stores.
Desserts volume was down as lower shipments of dry packaged and ready-to-eat
desserts and frozen toppings, resulting from lower consumption and reduced trade
inventories, were partially offset by gains in shelf-stable puddings. Cereal
volume declined, reflecting increased frequency of competitive promotional
activity in the ready-to-eat cereal category.
During the second quarter of 2001, reported operating revenues decreased $15
million (1.0%) from the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to unfavorable
product mix ($138 million, resulting from higher shipments of ready-to-drink
beverages) and lower pricing ($20 million, resulting from commodity-related
price decreases on coffee), partially offset by higher volume ($128 million) and
the acquisition of Nabisco ($18 million). On a pro forma basis, operating
revenues decreased 2.1%.
Reported operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 increased $22
million (6.9%) over the comparable period of 2000, primarily reflecting higher
volume ($78 million) and lower marketing, administration and research costs ($26
million),
-32-
partially offset by unfavorable product mix ($91 million). On a pro forma basis,
operating companies income increased 7.2%.
Oscar Mayer and Pizza. Volume in the second quarter of 2001 increased 4.5% over
the comparable period in 2000, due to gains across all major categories. The
processed meats business recorded volume gains in hot dogs, bacon, luncheon
meats and soy-based meat alternatives. Lunch combinations consumption at retail
remained strong, benefiting from continued momentum of new products. Volume in
the pizza business benefited from new products.
During the second quarter of 2001, operating revenues increased $56 million
(6.2%) over the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to higher volume ($49
million) and favorable product mix.
Operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 increased $5 million
(3.1%) over the comparable period of 2000, primarily reflecting higher volume
($24 million), partially offset by unfavorable margins ($19 million, driven by
higher meat and cheese commodity costs).

Europe, Middle East and Africa. Reported volume for the second quarter of 2001
decreased 0.3% from the comparable period of 2000. On a pro forma basis, volume
in the second quarter of 2001 increased 0.4% from the comparable period in 2000,
as gains in the developing markets of Central and Eastern Europe and growth in
many Western European countries were partially offset by volume declines in
Germany and Italy. In beverages, volume growth was driven by favorable
performances in both coffee and refreshment beverages. Coffee volume grew in
many Western European markets, as well as in Romania, Morocco and Bulgaria,
which benefited from recent acquisitions. Refreshment beverages volume
increased, driven by new product introductions in the Czech Republic and higher
volume in the Middle East and Africa. Snacks volume increased, driven by
confectionery and salty snacks. Overall growth in confectionery was moderated by
a shortfall in Germany, due to increased price competition and trade inventory
reductions. Volume for salty snacks also grew, driven by gains in Finland,
Lithuania, Norway, Russia and the Ukraine. Cheese volume grew, driven primarily
by cream cheese in Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and the United Kingdom and
process cheese spreads in the United Kingdom. In grocery, lower volume was due
to a shortfall in Germany, reflecting aggressive competition and a difficult
trade environment, partially offset by higher salad dressing sales in the United
Kingdom. Convenient meals volume was down, impacted by lower canned meats volume
in Italy.
Reported operating revenues for the second quarter of 2001 decreased $174
million (10.1%) from the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to unfavorable
currency movements ($106 million), revenues from divested businesses ($51
million) and lower pricing ($39 million, primarily coffee pricing due to
declining
-34-
coffee costs), partially offset by the acquisition of Nabisco ($10 million). On
a pro forma basis, operating revenues decreased 8.0%.
Reported operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 decreased $3
million (1.5%) from the comparable period of 2000, primarily reflecting
unfavorable currency movements ($15 million) and income from divested businesses
($11 million), partially offset by favorable margins ($11 million) and lower
marketing, administration and research costs ($7 million). On a pro forma basis,
operating companies income increased 3.2%.
Latin America and Asia Pacific. Reported volume for the second quarter of 2001
increased more than 100% over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to
the acquisition of Nabisco. On a pro forma basis, volume for the second quarter
of 2001 increased 11.7%, driven by gains across most consumer sectors and in
several countries including Australia, Brazil, the Caribbean, China, Japan and
the Philippines. Beverages volume increased due primarily to growth in
refreshment beverages, including powdered soft drinks in Brazil, the Caribbean,
China and the Philippines and juice concentrate in Brazil. Coffee volume grew
aided by higher volume in China. Snacks volume increased, driven primarily by
higher biscuit volume in Brazil and China, partially offset by lower volume in
Argentina, impacted by economic softness. In confectionery, volume was lower, as
a shortfall in chocolate confectionery in Brazil was partially offset by higher
shipments of chewy candy in the Philippines and chocolate in Australia. Cheese
volume increased, due primarily to cream cheese in Australia and the Caribbean
and process cheese in the Philippines. Grocery volume was higher, due primarily
to higher shipments of gelatin in Brazil and spoonable dressings in the
Philippines and the Caribbean.
During the second quarter of 2001, reported operating revenues increased $283
million (82.3%) over the second quarter of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($294 million) and higher volume ($14 million), partially
offset by unfavorable currency movements ($48 million). On a pro forma basis,
operating revenues increased 2.1%.
Reported operating companies income for the second quarter of 2001 increased $45
million (73.8%) over the comparable period of 2000, due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco ($30 million) and lower marketing, administration and
research costs ($12 million). On a pro forma basis, operating companies income
increased 17.8%.
Financial Review
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2001, net cash provided by operating activities
was $628 million compared with $1,452 million in the comparable 2000 period. The
decrease in net cash provided by operating activities reflects unusual timing of
payments and receipts as follows:
o The estimated $155 million shift in cash outflows from the first quarter of
2000 to the fourth quarter of 1999 attributable to the century date change.
o The 53rd week in the fourth quarter of 2000 resulted in the collection of
$80 million of accounts receivable from holiday sales. The Company would
normally collect these receivables in the first quarter of 2001.
o The Company paid taxes of $76 million in the first quarter of 2001 related
to the gain on the sale of a French confectionery business in 2000.
o Interest payments in 2001 increased approximately $365 million due
primarily to an increase in debt related to the Nabisco acquisition.
o Other items affecting operating cash flow included an increase in marketing
spending, the payment of accrued salaries and benefits, as well as
severance and change in control costs due to the acquisition of Nabisco.
-35-
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the first six months of 2001, net cash used in investing activities was
$515 million, down from $640 million in 2000. This decrease primarily reflects
the decline in cash used for acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in
capital expenditures.
During the first six months of 2000, the Company purchased Boca Burger, Inc. and
Balance Bar Co. for an aggregate cost of $358 million. During the first six
months of 2001, the Company purchased coffee businesses in Romania, Morocco and
Bulgaria for an aggregate purchase price of $80 million.
Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2001 were $448 million, up from
$323 million in 2000. These additional expenditures were due primarily to the
acquisition of Nabisco.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the first six months of 2001, net cash used in financing activities was
$113 million, down from $552 million in 2000. This difference was due to
dividends paid in 2000, partially offset by net debt repayments in 2001, not
including the repayment of $8.4 billion of debt with the net proceeds from the
Company's IPO, as compared with $448 million of net borrowings in 2000.
Working Capital, Debt and Liquidity
The Company's working capital deficit at June 30, 2001 was $733 million, as
compared to a deficit of $438 million at December 31, 2000. Contributing to the
2001 deficit was the refinancing of two long-term Swiss franc notes payable to
Philip Morris with short-term Swiss franc borrowings from Philip Morris,
partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable, due primarily to the timing
of payments, higher raw material purchases and a decrease in accrued marketing
costs.
The Company's total debt, including intercompany accounts payable to Philip
Morris, was $17.2 billion at June 30, 2001, and $25.8 billion at December 31,
2000. The decrease was due primarily to the repayment of $8.4 billion of
long-term notes payable to Philip Morris with the net proceeds from the IPO. The
Company's debt-to-equity ratio was 0.75 at June 30, 2001, and 1.84 at December
31, 2000.
The Company intends to pay regular quarterly dividends on its Class A common
stock and Class B common stock at an initial annual rate of $0.52 per share. The
first dividend is expected to be declared during the third quarter of 2001 and
to be payable in October 2001. The declaration of dividends is subject to the
discretion of the Company's board of directors and will depend on various
factors, including the Company's net earnings, financial condition, cash
requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the
Company's board of directors.
In July 2001, Philip Morris elected to terminate an existing $9.0 billion
364-day revolving credit agreement that could have been transferred to the
Company. Upon termination of this facility, the Company entered into agreements
for a $2.0 billion 5-year revolving credit facility maturing in July 2006 and a
$4.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility maturing in July 2002. The
Company intends to use these credit facilities to support commercial paper
borrowings, the proceeds of which will be used for general corporate purposes.
In addition, the Company maintains credit lines with a number of lending
institutions amounting to approximately $430 million. The Company maintains
these facilities primarily to meet short-term working capital needs of its
international businesses.
The Company believes that its cash from operations and existing credit
facilities will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs, planned capital
expenditures and payment of its anticipated quarterly dividends during the
-36-
remainder of 2001. The Company intends to borrow in the capital markets to
refinance portions of the 2002 maturities of its notes payable to Philip Morris.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign exchange
rates, commodity prices and interest rates. These exposures are actively
monitored by management. To manage these exposures, the Company enters into a
variety of derivative financial instruments. The Company's objective is to
reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and
cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates, commodity prices
and interest rates. It is the Company's policy and practice to use derivative
financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage exposures. Since
the Company uses currency rate-sensitive and commodity price-sensitive
instruments to hedge a certain portion of its existing and anticipated
transactions, the Company expects that any loss in value for the hedge
instruments generally would be offset by increases in the value of the hedged
transactions. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for
speculative purposes.
Foreign exchange rates. The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange
movements, primarily in European, Canadian and Latin American currencies.
Consequently, it enters into various contracts, which change in value as foreign
currency exchange rates fluctuate, to preserve the value of commitments and
forecasted transactions. The Company uses foreign currency option and forward
contracts to hedge certain transaction exposures and forecasted foreign currency
cash flows. The Company also enters into short-term foreign currency swap
contracts, primarily to hedge intercompany transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had option and
forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $340
million and $237 million, respectively, for both the purchase and/or sale of
foreign currencies.
Commodities. The Company is exposed to price risk related to forecasted
purchases of certain commodities used as raw materials by the Company's
businesses. Accordingly, the Company enters into commodity future, forward and
option contracts to manage fluctuations in prices of forecasted purchases,
primarily cheese, coffee, cocoa, milk, sugar, wheat, corn and energy. At June
30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the Company had net long commodity positions of
$716 million and $617 million, respectively. Unrealized gains/losses on net
commodity positions were immaterial at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.
Interest rates. The Company intends to manage its exposure to interest rate risk
through the proportion of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt in its total
debt portfolio. At December 31, 2000, nearly all of the Company's debt was
long-term at fixed rates, with the majority of it being indebtedness to Philip
Morris maturing in 2002 and 2009. During the second quarter of 2001, the Company
repaid a portion of that debt with proceeds from the IPO. In addition, the
Company refinanced two long-term Swiss franc notes payable to Philip Morris with
short-term Swiss franc borrowings from Philip Morris at variable interest rates.
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company intends to use its new revolving
credit agreements to support the issuance of commercial paper, the proceeds from
which will be used for general corporate purposes.
At June 30, 2001, the Company had interest rate swap agreements which converted
$102 million of fixed rate debt to variable rate debt of which $29 million will
mature in 2003 and $73 million will mature in 2004.
-------------------
Use of the above-mentioned derivative financial instruments has not had a
material impact on the Company's financial position at June 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, or the Company's results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001 or the year ended December 31, 2000.

Contingencies
See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion
of contingencies.
New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," and its related amendment, SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". These standards require
that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the consolidated
balance sheets at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or
accumulated other comprehensive losses, depending on whether a derivative is
designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Gains and losses on derivative instruments reported in
accumulated other comprehensive losses are included in earnings in the periods
in which earnings are affected by the hedged item. The adoption of these new
standards did not have a material effect on net earnings (less than $1 million)
or accumulated other comprehensive losses (less than $1 million).
The Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF Issue No. 00-14, "Accounting
for Certain Sales Incentives." EITF Issue No. 00-14 addresses the recognition,
measurement and statement of earnings classification for certain sales
incentives and will be effective in the first quarter of 2002. As a result,
certain items previously included in cost of sales and in marketing,
administration and research costs on the consolidated statement of earnings will
be recorded as a reduction of operating revenues. The Company has determined
that the impact of adoption or subsequent application of EITF Issue No. 00-14
will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations. Upon adoption, prior period amounts, which are not
expected to be significant, will be reclassified to conform to the new
requirements. In April 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No.
00-25, "Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a
Reseller of the Vendor's Products". EITF Issue No. 00-25 requires that certain
expenses included in marketing, administration and research costs be recorded as
a reduction of operating revenues and will be effective in the first quarter of
2002. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of EITF
Issue No. 00-25.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". Effective January 1, 2002, the Company will no longer be required to
amortize goodwill and certain other intangible assets as a charge to earnings.
In addition, the Company will be required to review goodwill and other
intangible assets for potential impairment. The Company is currently in the
process of quantifying the impact of the new standards. However, the Company
anticipates that substantially all amortization of goodwill as a charge to
earnings will be eliminated.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral
forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to
shareholders. One can identify these forward-looking statements by use of words
such as "strategy," "expects," "plans," "believes," "will," "estimates,"
"intends," "projects," "goals," "targets" and other words of similar meaning.
One can also identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby
identifying important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to
differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement made by
or on behalf of the Company; any such statement is qualified by reference to the
following cautionary statements.
Each of the Company's segments is subject to intense competition, changes in
consumer preferences, the effects of changing prices for its raw materials and
local economic conditions. Their results are dependent upon their continued
ability to promote brand equity successfully, to anticipate and respond to new
consumer trends, to develop new products and markets and to broaden brand
portfolios, in order to compete effectively with lower priced products in a
consolidating environment at the retail and manufacturing levels, and to improve
productivity.
-38-
The Company's results are also dependent on its ability to successfully
integrate and derive cost savings from the integration of Nabisco's operations
with the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to the effects of foreign
economies and currency movements. Developments in any of these areas, which are
more fully described above and which descriptions are incorporated into this
section by reference, could cause the Company's results to differ materially
from results that have been or may be projected by or on behalf of the Company.
The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not
exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Legal Proceedings
The Company's subsidiaries are parties to a variety of legal proceedings arising
out of the normal course of business, including the matters discussed below.
While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management
believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
National Cheese Exchange Cases: Since 1996, seven putative class actions have
been filed by various dairy farmers alleging that the Company and others engaged
in a conspiracy to fix and depress the prices of bulk cheese and milk through
their trading activity on the National Cheese Exchange. Plaintiffs seek
injunctive and equitable relief and unspecified treble damages. Two of the
actions were voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs after class certification was
denied. Three cases were consolidated in state court in Wisconsin, and in
November 1999, the court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment. In
June 2001, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's ruling, and
plaintiffs have petitioned the Wisconsin Supreme Court for further review. The
Company's motions to dismiss were granted in the cases pending in Illinois state
court and in the United States District Court for the Central District of
California. Appellate courts have reversed and remanded both cases for further
proceedings. No classes have been certified in any of the cases.
Environmental Matters
In May 2001, the Attorney General for the State of Ohio notified the Company
that we may be subject to an enforcement action for alleged violations of the
state's water pollution control law at the Company's cottage cheese and sour
cream production facility in Farmdale, Ohio. The Ohio Attorney General has
alleged that this facility has exceeded its water permit effluent limits
and violated its reporting requirements. The Attorney General has offered
to attempt to negotiate a settlement of this matter, and the Company has
accepted the offer to do so. The Company has received no indication from the
state what relief it is seeking in this matter. The Company recently installed
additional waste water treatment equipment at the facility, and the facility
currently is operating in compliance with its waste water discharge permit.
In March 2000, the State of Missouri filed a civil enforcement action in the
Circuit Court of Boone County, Missouri against the Company and affiliated
companies alleging that the defendants' practice from 1995 through 1999 of
sending spent wiener casings to a farm site near Columbia, Missouri for
recycling violated Missouri's solid waste and clean water laws. The state is
seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief, including the removal of the
spent casings from the farm site and disposal in a permitted solid waste
facility. The Company is currently involved in settlement discussions with the
state. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not
have a material adverse impact on the Company.
The Company is potentially liable for certain environmental matters arising from
the operations of Nabisco's former wholly-owned subsidiary, Rowe Industries.
Rowe operated a small engine manufacturing facility in Sag Harbor, New York in
the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s that used various solvents. About 20 homes
downgradient from the site were connected to public drinking water in the
mid-1980s after solvents were detected in their individual wells. Since 1996,
three toxic tort cases have been brought against Nabisco in New York state
court, collectively by or on behalf of approximately 80 individuals, including
17 minors. The first case, filed on March 6, 1996 in Supreme Court of the State
of New York, was dismissed as barred by the statute of limitations. This
decision has now been affirmed on appeal. The other two cases were both filed on
January 3, 2000, in Supreme Court of the State of New York. Each complaint
states that the relief sought by the plaintiffs is $10 million in compensatory
and $100 million in punitive damages. The primary claims are based on alleged
personal injury, diminution of property value and fear or risk of cancer. On May
16, 2001, the trial court granted our summary judgment motion as to all but one
of the plaintiffs in each of these cases.
-40-
The plaintiffs are appealing this decision. Discovery is proceeding as to the
two remaining plaintiffs.
The Company is also potentially liable for certain enviornmental matters arising
from Nabisco's or a former affiliate's connection with Del Monte Corporation in
the 1970s and 1980s. Del Monte Corporation operated a plantation on Oahu,
Hawaii, which used various pesticides for crop application over an extended time
period. A pesticide spill at the site led to the closure of nearby drinking
water wells and an investigation, under the oversight of the United States
Enviornmental Protection Agency, of soil and groundwater contamination
associated with the site. Upon completion of this investigation, the EPA
will be selecting a plan to remedy the contamination.
In addition, two lawsuits were filed in 1999 against Del Monte Corporation and
approximately six other Oahu growers and pesticide manufacturers seeking
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for alleged pesticide
contamination of drinking water supplies. The Board of Water Supply of the City
and County of Honolulu filed the first lawsuit on September 27, 1999 in the
Circuit Court of the First Circuit of the State of Hawaii. The second lawsuit,
which was filed on October 7, 1999 in the Circuit Court of the First Circuit of
the State of Hawaii, was brought by numerous area residents alleging bodily
injury, emotional distress and wrongful death. Both cases are in the early
stages of discovery and, to our knowledge, Del Monte Corporation has not
received a settlement demand in either case.
The Company believes that a third party has indemnification obligations for
these potential Del Monte Corporation environmental liabilities. In June 2001,
the Company entered into an agreement with this third party, under which the
third party will fully indemnify the Company for the Hawaii matters described
above.
