ITEM 1. BUSINESS

    (A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

    The operating subsidiaries of Nabisco Group Holdings Corp. ("NGH") comprise
one of the largest food companies in the world. In the United States, the
packaged food business is conducted by Nabisco Holdings Corp.'s ("Nabisco
Holdings") wholly-owned subsidiary, Nabisco, Inc. ("Nabisco"), the largest
manufacturer and marketer of cookies and crackers. NGH owns 100% of the
outstanding Class B Common Stock of Nabisco Holdings, which represents
approximately 80.6% of the economic interest and 97.6% of the combined voting
power of all of the outstanding Common Stock as of March 15, 2000.

    Food operations outside the United States are conducted by Nabisco
International, Inc. and Nabisco Ltd., subsidiaries of Nabisco. For financial
information with respect to operations in various geographic locations, see Item
7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the
related notes thereto, of NGH as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999 (the "Consolidated
Financial Statements").

    RJR Nabisco, Inc., which has been renamed R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings
Inc. ("RJR") was incorporated as a holding company in 1970 holding the stock of
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company ("Reynolds Tobacco") and other companies that have
since been sold. It acquired Nabisco Holdings (formerly Nabisco Brands, Inc.) in
1985. RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp., which has been renamed Nabisco Group Holdings
Corp. ("NGH") was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1988 to effect the
acquisition of RJR, which was completed on April 28, 1989. As a result of this
acquisition, RJR became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of NGH. After a
series of holding company mergers completed on December 17, 1992, RJR became a
direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of NGH.

    During the second quarter of 1999, a series of reorganization transactions
were completed, as a result of which NGH, Nabisco Holdings, Nabisco and their
subsidiaries are no longer affiliated with RJR and its subsidiaries. The
principal transactions in this reorganization that affected NGH are the
following:

    - On May 12, 1999, RJR and Reynolds Tobacco completed the sale of the
      international tobacco business to Japan Tobacco Inc. for $8 billion,
      including the assumption of approximately $200 million of net debt.
      Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce debt and for general corporate
      purposes.

    - On May 18, 1999, RJR transferred all of the outstanding Class B Common
      Stock of Nabisco Holdings, together with approximately $1.6 billion in net
      cash proceeds from the international tobacco sale, to NGH through a merger
      transaction.

    - On June 14, 1999, NGH distributed all of the outstanding shares of RJR
      common stock to NGH common stockholders of record as of May 27, 1999.

    In 1999, a subsidiary of Nabisco acquired the stock of Canale S.A.,
Argentina's fourth largest biscuit company. Also in 1999, Nabisco acquired
certain assets and liabilities of Favorite Brands International, Inc., the
fourth largest non-chocolate candy company in the United States. The acquisition
further strengthened our leadership position in non-chocolate candy.

    NGH will continue to assess its businesses to evaluate their consistency
with strategic objectives. Although NGH may acquire and divest additional
businesses in the future, no decisions have been made with respect to any such
acquisitions or divestitures except as described in the subsequent events
section of Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Under the provisions of Nabisco Holdings' existing credit agreements, however,
there are restrictions on the sale or disposition of all, substantially all or
any

                                       1
<PAGE>
substantial portion of certain domestic businesses of Nabisco. See Item 7.
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations".

    (B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

    For information about operating segments for the years 1997 through 1999,
see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    (C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    NGH is a holding company whose operating subsidiaries are owned indirectly
through Nabisco Holdings. NGH owns 100% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock
of Nabisco Holdings, which represents approximately 80.6% of the economic
interest and 97.6% of the total voting power of Nabisco Holdings' outstanding
common stock. Nabisco's businesses in the United States are comprised of the
Nabisco Biscuit Company and the U.S. Foods Group. Nabisco's businesses outside
the United States are conducted by Nabisco Ltd and Nabisco International, Inc.

    Food products are sold under trademarks owned or licensed by Nabisco and
brand recognition is considered essential to their successful marketing.
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and its affiliates accounted for approximately 11% of
consolidated net sales in 1999 and no customer accounted for 10% or more of
consolidated net sales in 1998 and 1997.

NABISCO BISCUIT COMPANY

    The Nabisco Biscuit Company is the largest manufacturer and marketer in the
United States cookie and cracker industry with seven of the top ten selling
brands. Overall, in 1999, Nabisco Biscuit had a 39.1% share of the domestic
cookie category and a 51.6% share of the domestic cracker category (in the
aggregate more than two times the share of its closest competitor). The combined
1999 cookie and cracker market share of 44.5% was 0.5 points above 1998. Leading
Nabisco Biscuit cookie brands include OREO, CHIPS AHOY!, NEWTONS and
SNACKWELL'S. Leading Nabisco Biscuit cracker brands include RITZ, PREMIUM,
TRISCUIT, WHEAT THINS and NABISCO HONEY MAID GRAHAMS.

    OREO and CHIPS AHOY! are the two largest selling cookies in the United
States. OREO, the leading sandwich cookie, is Nabisco Biscuit's largest selling
cookie brand. Seasonal line extensions such as SPRING OREO, HALLOWEEN OREO and
the OREO MILLENIUM TIN, in addition to the "Don't Eat the Winning Oreo"
promotion, continue to increase the brand's appeal. CHIPS AHOY! is the leader in
the chocolate chip cookie segment driven by its base CHIPS AHOY! business along
with CHEWY CHIPS AHOY! and line extensions such as HOLIDAY CHIPS AHOY!

    NEWTONS, the oldest Nabisco Biscuit cookie brand, is the fourth leading
cookie brand in the United States. Product improvements made in the first half
of the year provided a consumer preferred moister cookie.

    SNACKWELL'S cookies and crackers, on a combined basis, is the eighth leading
brand in the United States. The recent more indulgent product introductions,
Mint Creme and Caramel Delights, have been solid contributors to the SNACKWELL'S
portfolio. SNACKWELL'S continues to maintain the leading share of the
better-for-you cookie segment.

    Nabisco Biscuit's cracker business is led by RITZ, the largest selling
cracker in the United States. Successful product line extensions such as RITZ
BITS, RITZ BITS SANDWICHES and REDUCED FAT RITZ, helped drive the brand's
growth. The RITZ product line accounted for 13.9% of cracker sales in the United
States in 1999, compared to 13.4% in 1998. PREMIUM, the oldest Nabisco cracker
brand and the leader in the saltine cracker segment, is joined by TRISCUIT,
WHEAT THINS, NABISCO HONEY MAID GRAHAMS, and AIR CRISPS to comprise, along with
RITZ, six of the eight largest selling cracker brands in the United States.

                                       2
<PAGE>
    Nabisco Biscuit's other cookie and cracker brands, which include NUTTER
BUTTER, TEDDY GRAHAMS, NILLA, STELLA D'ORO, CHEESE NIPS, BETTER CHEDDARS and
BARNUM'S ANIMAL CRACKERS, compete in consumer niche segments. Many are the first
or second largest selling brands in their respective segments. Substantial
growth by TEDDY GRAHAMS in 1999 resulted from the brand restage and launch of
the TEDDY GRAHAMS CHOCOLATEY CHIP line extension. CHEESE NIPS also showed
strength with its line extensions, CHEESE NIPS EXTRA CHEDDAR, CHEESE NIPS
THREE-CHEESE PIZZA and CHEESE NIPS CATDOG.

    Nabisco Biscuit's products in the breakfast snack category include
SNACKWELL'S cereal bars and KOOL STUF toaster pastries. Both lines had product
improvements during the year with an improved topping and increased shelf life
on SNACKWELL'S HEARTY FRUIT 'N GRAIN CEREAL BARS and improved icing for KOOL
STUF.

    Nabisco Biscuit's products are manufactured in 11 Nabisco Biscuit owned
facilities, 13 facilities with which Nabisco Biscuit has production agreements
with contract manufacturers throughout the United States and through Nabisco
affiliates in Canada. Nabisco Biscuit also operates a flour mill in Toledo,
Ohio, which supplies approximately 85% of its flour needs.

RAW MATERIALS

Nabisco in its food businesses. These raw materials are normally purchased
through supplier contracts, while the commodities market is utilized to hedge
prices for a large portion of North American and certain International
anticipated future requirements. Prices of agricultural commodities tend to
fluctuate due to seasonal, climactic and economic factors which generally also
affect Nabisco's competitors. NGH and its subsidiaries believe that the raw

                                       5
<PAGE>
materials for Nabisco products are in plentiful supply and are readily available
from a variety of independent suppliers.

COMPETITION

    Generally, the markets in which the Nabisco Biscuit Company, U.S. Foods
Group and the International Food Group conduct their business are highly
competitive. Competition consists of large domestic and international companies,
local and regional firms and generic and private label products of food
retailers. Competition is conducted on the basis of brand recognition, brand
loyalty, quality and price. Substantial advertising and promotional expenditures
are required to maintain or improve a brand's market position or to introduce a
new product.

    The trademarks under which the Nabisco Biscuit Company, U.S. Foods Group and
the International Food Group market their products are generally registered in
the United States and other countries in which such products are sold and are
generally renewable indefinitely. Nabisco and certain of its subsidiaries have
from time to time granted various parties exclusive licenses to use one or more
of their trademarks in particular locations. NGH and its subsidiaries do not
believe that such licensing arrangements have a material effect on the conduct
of its domestic or international businesses.

                                 OTHER MATTERS

EMPLOYEES

    At December 31, 1999, NGH and its subsidiaries had approximately 50,700 full
time employees. Most of the unionized workers at Nabisco's domestic locations
are represented under a national contract with the Bakery, Confectionery and
Tobacco Workers International Union, which was ratified in August 1996 and which
will expire in August 2001. Other unions represent the employees at a number of
Nabisco locations. NGH believes that Nabisco's relations with these employees
and with their unions are good.

    (D) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

    For information about foreign and domestic operations for the years 1997
through 1999, see Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

    For information on properties, see Item 1. For additional information
pertaining to the location of NGH's assets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, see
Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    NGH has been named as a defendant in a number of lawsuits (40 as of
March 20, 2000) as a result of its now severed relationship with the tobacco
business conducted by Reynolds Tobacco or its subsidiaries. For information
about this litigation see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
Exhibit 99 to this Form 10-K, which is available at the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov.

    Some of the claims against NGH in the tobacco-related litigation noted above
seek recovery of hundreds of millions and possibly billions of dollars. This is
also true of litigation pending against Reynolds Tobacco and RJR, former
subsidiaries of NGH. NGH believes that it has a number of valid defenses to any
such actions and intends to defend all of them vigorously. Litigation is subject
to many uncertainties. While management believes it has strong defenses in the
litigation against NGH, management is unable to predict the outcome of the
litigation against NGH, or to derive a meaningful estimate of the amount or
range of any possible loss in any quarterly or annual period or in the
aggregate.

    Nabisco Holdings and Nabisco, both subsidiaries of NGH, are defendants in
various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
management, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on those companies' or on NGH's financial condition or results of
operations.

    Nabisco Holdings or certain of its subsidiaries have been named "potentially
responsible parties" ("PRP") with third parties under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") or may have
indemnification obligations with respect to 14 sites. Liability under CERCLA is
joint and several. Although it is difficult to identify precisely the estimated
cost of resolving these CERCLA and indemnification matters, such expenditures or
costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on those companies' or
NGH's financial condition or results of operations.

    In addition, in April 1995, NGH was named a PRP with certain third parties
under CERCLA with respect to a superfund site at which a former subsidiary of
RJR had operations. A subsidiary of NGH may also have indemnification
obligations to a third party with respect to certain lawsuits arising from this
same CERCLA site although the subsidiary itself is not named in the lawsuits.
Management cannot currently predict the likelihood that it will have to
contribute as a PRP or perform on these obligations or what the magnitude of the
obligations would be.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

    None.

    During the second quarter of 1999, a series of reorganization transactions
were completed, as a result of which NGH, Nabisco Holdings, Nabisco and their
subsidiaries are no longer affiliated with RJR and its subsidiaries. The
principal transactions in this reorganization that affected NGH are the
following:

    - On May 12, 1999, RJR and Reynolds Tobacco completed the sale of the
      international tobacco business to Japan Tobacco Inc. for $8 billion,
      including the assumption of approximately $200 million of net debt.
      Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce debt and for general corporate
      purposes.

    - On May 18, 1999, RJR transferred all of the outstanding Class B Common
      Stock of Nabisco Holdings, together with approximately $1.6 billion in net
      cash proceeds from the international tobacco sale, to NGH through a merger
      transaction.

    - On June 14, 1999, NGH distributed all of the outstanding shares of RJR
      common stock to NGH common stockholders of record as of May 27, 1999. Each
      record holder received one share of RJR stock for every three shares of
      NGH stock. The average of the high and low trading prices for the common
      stock of NGH was $21.53 on June 15, 1999, the first trading day following
      the distribution.

    As a result of the reorganization transactions, NGH owns only food
businesses through Nabisco Holdings and its subsidiaries, and therefore NGH
decreased its annual common dividend rate to $.49 from $2.05 per share,
effective with the October 1, 1999 dividend payment.

    NGH is dependent on the earnings and cash flow of Nabisco Holdings and its
subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations and other cash needs. Nabisco Holdings'
dividend payable to NGH increased from approximately $149 million annually to
$160 million annually, commencing with the April 1, 1999 dividend payment, when
Nabisco Holdings increased its quarterly dividend payment to $.1875 per share or
$.75 per share annually, from its previous level of $.70 per share. For
information concerning limitations on

dividends, see Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations"--Liquidity and Financial Condition and
Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. NGH does not believe that
Nabisco Holdings' credit arrangements will limit NGH's ability to pay its
anticipated quarterly dividends.

    NGH, RJR and Reynolds Tobacco entered into several agreements governing the
relationships among the parties after the distribution of RJR's shares to NGH
stockholders, including the provision of intercompany services by Nabisco to
NGH, certain tax matters indemnification rights and obligations and other
matters among the parties.

    These agreements replaced a predecessor intercompany services agreement, a
predecessor tax sharing agreement and a predecessor corporate agreement that had
previously been in place between Nabisco Holdings and RJR. NGH does not
anticipate that these new agreements will have a material effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.

        OF OPERATIONS

    The following is a discussion and analysis of NGH's financial condition and
results of operations. The discussion and analysis for sales, operating company
contribution and operating income includes information as reported in the
historical financial statements, followed by items that management believes
impact the comparability of historical results, ongoing results and management's
discussion and analysis of ongoing results. Ongoing results are presented on a
basis consistent with how the ongoing businesses are managed. They exclude
sales, operating company contribution and operating income from divested
businesses, restructuring charges and credits, restructuring-related expenses
and net gains on divested businesses that management believes affect the
comparability of the results of operations. The ongoing results of operations
should not be viewed as a substitute for the historical results of operations
but as a tool to better understand the underlying trends in the business. The
discussion and analysis of NGH's financial information and the related notes
thereto are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    NGH's business is conducted by Nabisco Holdings Corp.'s ("Nabisco Holdings")
wholly-owned subsidiary Nabisco, Inc. ("Nabisco"). Nabisco's businesses in the

</TABLE>

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IS BASED ON NET SALES FROM ONGOING
BUSINESSES:

    1999 VS. 1998.  NGH's net sales of $8.27 billion were up 2% compared to 1998
net sales.

    - Biscuit's net sales increased 3% versus the prior year. The sales increase
      reflects the carryover effect of 1998 price increases and volume increases
      in cookie and cracker brands behind increased marketing spending and the
      continued efforts of Biscuit's redesigned direct store delivery sales
      force. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in breakfast snack
      volumes.

                                       12
<PAGE>
    - The U.S. Foods Group's net sales increased 10% versus the prior year. The
      sales increase was paced by strong volume gains from nuts, confections,
      condiments and pet snacks. The inclusion of Favorite Brands, acquired in
      November 1999, contributed 2% points to the overall increase.

    - The International Food Group's net sales decreased 5% versus the prior
      year. The sales decline was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign
      currency translation rates, principally in Brazil. Excluding the impact of
      unfavorable foreign currency translation, sales increased 5%. The increase
      was primarily due to price increases partially offset by volume declines.
      The price increases, paced by Brazil, were across all regions, with the
      exception of Argentina which experienced competitive pricing pressures.
      The volume declines were primarily in Brazil, the Andean region and Spain
      offset in part by volume gains in Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.

    1998 VS. 1997.  NGH's net sales were flat at $8.10 billion.

    - Biscuit's net sales were flat at $3.54 billion versus the prior year
      reflecting price increases and volume gains in cookies and crackers
      largely offset by lower volumes in SnackWell's and breakfast snacks.
      Although net sales were flat versus the prior year, momentum was
      reestablished in the second half of 1998 and after adjusting selling days
      to an equal days basis, Biscuit's net sales rose nearly 5% in the fourth
      quarter of 1998 versus the same period a year ago. These sales reflect the
      impact of increased marketing spending and the efforts of Biscuit's
      redesigned direct store delivery sales force which was approximately
      one-third in place at December 31, 1998.

    - The U.S. Foods Group's net sales increased 3% primarily due to the
      inclusion of Cornnuts snacks acquired in December 1997 and increased
      volume for Planters nuts, A.1. steak sauces and pet snacks, partially
      offset by lower volume for confections.

    - The International Food Group's net sales decreased by 2% in 1998 versus
      1997. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales were
      up 2% in 1998 versus the prior year primarily due to price increases and
      increased volumes in several Latin American markets partially offset by
      volume declines in Brazil, Argentina and Asia.

(1) Operating company contribution represents operating income before
    amortization of trademarks and goodwill and restructuring charges (credits).

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IS BASED ON OPERATING COMPANY
    CONTRIBUTION FROM ONGOING BUSINESSES:

    1999 VS. 1998.  NGH's operating company contribution increased 4% to
    $1.09 billion compared to 1998.

    - Biscuit's operating company contribution increased 3% versus the prior
      year. The increase reflects the carryover effects of 1998 price increases
      and lower manufacturing overhead costs resulting from ongoing productivity
      programs, along with volume gains for both cookies and crackers. Lower
      breakfast snack volumes, increased marketing spending and increased
      selling costs associated with the implementation of the redesigned direct
      store delivery sales force partially offset these gains. Also impacting
      the 1999 results was a one-time charge of $6 million reflecting the
      settlement with the Department of Labor regarding overtime pay for sales
      personnel.

                                       14
<PAGE>
    - The U.S. Foods Group's operating company contribution increased 12% versus
      the prior year. The results were primarily due to strong volume gains from
      nuts, confections, condiments and pet snacks partially offset by increased
      advertising and consumer promotion spending. The impact of productivity
      programs on fixed selling costs also contributed to the favorable results.

    - The International Food Group's operating company contribution decreased 2%
      versus the prior year. The decrease was principally due to higher
      marketing investment across most regions and lower volume and higher raw
      material costs in the Andean region. The decrease was offset in part by
      earnings improvements in Asia due to volume, in Argentina resulting from
      productivity improvements and in Spain due to pricing actions. The
      unfavorable foreign currency impact at operating company contribution,
      primarily in Brazil, was mitigated in large part by favorable pricing
      actions by the Brazilian business.

    1998 VS. 1997.  NGH's operating company contribution decreased 14% to
    $1.05 billion in 1998.

    - Biscuit's operating company contribution declined 22% to $542 million,
      largely the result of increased marketing spending invested behind core
      brands including the SnackWell's line. Higher costs associated with
      strengthening and redesigning the direct store delivery sales organization
      also significantly contributed to the profit decline.

    - The U.S. Foods Group's operating company contribution in 1998 increased 7%
      to $301 million from $281 million in 1997 primarily due to gains in
      Planters nuts, A.1. steak sauces, pet snacks and the acquisition of
      Cornnuts in December 1997, partially offset by declines in confections.

    - The International Food Group's operating company contribution decreased
      13% to $205 million. The decrease in operating company contribution was
      principally due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $20 million
      and lower earnings, exclusive of foreign currency translation, in Spain,
      Asia and Canada which more than offset increased earnings in Brazil and
      Argentina as progress was made in lowering costs in these operating units.

</TABLE>

    THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS IS BASED ON OPERATING INCOME FROM
ONGOING BUSINESSES:

    1999 VS. 1998.  NGH's operating income was $878 million for 1999, an
increase of 5% versus last year. The increase reflects higher operating company
contribution discussed previously.

    1998 VS. 1997.  NGH's operating income decreased to $835 million in 1998
versus $1,001 million in 1997 as a result of the 14% decline in operating
company contribution cited earlier.

RESTRUCTURING

    Savings objectives set in Nabisco's 1998 restructuring programs are on
target despite lower than anticipated spending to date. The June 1998 program
was substantially completed in 1999 and the December 1998 program is expected to
be substantially completed by mid-year 2000. Pre-tax savings in 1999 were
approximately $90 million including cash savings of $86 million and, after
completion of the programs, are expected to be approximately $145 million
annually including cash savings of $135 million. In 1999, Nabisco recorded a net
restructuring credit of $67 million reflecting higher than anticipated proceeds
from the sale of facilities closed as part of the 1998 restructuring programs,
lower costs and cash outlays than originally estimated for certain of these
programs and minor project cancelations. This credit reduced the restructuring
charges to $463 million. As the remaining projects from the December 1998
restructuring program are completed, Nabisco will continue to analyze the actual
spending and the estimated cost to complete the programs. The results of that
analysis will determine what further adjustments, if any, will be necessary.
Cumulative cash expenditures to date have totaled $103 million with $65 million
expended in 1999. The cash component of the restructuring charge for the
programs will be approximately $140 million including an estimated $37 million
expenditure in 2000. For a further discussion of the restructuring programs, see
Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

INTEREST AND DEBT EXPENSE

    1999 VS. 1998.  Consolidated interest and debt expense of $324 million in
1999 decreased by $77 million or 19% from 1998 as a result of lower average
borrowing levels and lower average interest rates. Debt levels were reduced by
the application of net proceeds from businesses sold in the third quarter of
1998, along with funds from continuing operations, the repurchase and redemption
of trust preferred securities in the second quarter of 1999, and lower capital
spending. Debt levels edged upward in the second half of 1999 due to borrowings
to finance the acquisitions of Canale S.A. and certain assets and liabilities of
Favorite Brands International, Inc.

    1998 VS. 1997.  Consolidated interest and debt expense of $401 million in
1998 decreased by $20 million from 1997 primarily due to the paydown of
commercial paper with the net proceeds from businesses sold in the third quarter
of 1998 and the replacement of fixed rate debt at lower rates partially offset
by the August 1998 issuance of trust preferred securities and a reduction in
capitalized interest in 1998.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

    1999 VS. 1998.  Consolidated other income (expense), net amounted to
$19 million of expense in 1999 versus $29 million of expense in 1998, an
decrease of $10 million in expense. The lower level of expense in 1999 reflects
higher interest income and lower financing costs.

    1998 VS 1997.  Consolidated other income (expense), net amounted to
$29 million of expense in 1998 versus $32 million of expense in 1997, a decrease
of $3 million in expense. The lower level of expense in 1998 reflects higher
interest income partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange losses.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    1999 VS. 1998.  The reported effective tax rate for 1999 was 38.2% compared
to 1.5% for 1998. Excluding the tax related impact of restructuring credits
recorded in 1999 and restructuring charges and net gain from divestitures in
1998, the effective rates are 39.7% and 40.5% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    1998 VS. 1997.  The reported effective tax rate for 1998 was 1.5% compared
to 40.4% for 1997. Excluding the tax related impact of restructuring charges and
net gain from divestitures in 1998, the effective rates are 40.5% and 40.4% for
1998 and 1997, respectively.

                                       16
<PAGE>
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    Total income from discontinued operations increased approximately $3.5
billion in 1999 compared to 1998. The increase was due primarily to the gain on
the sale of Reynolds International in May of 1999 and profitable tobacco results
prior to the sale and distribution in 1999 compared to a loss for all of 1998.

EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

    The extraordinary loss in 1999 includes a loss of approximately $384 million
($250 million after tax) on the repurchase of approximately $4 billion of debt
securities by RJR and a loss of approximately $44 million ($29 million after
tax) related to the purchase and redemption of NGH's trust preferred securities.
1999 also includes a loss of $5 million ($2 million after tax, net of minority
interest) on the early redemption of Nabisco's debt.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

    1999 VS. 1998.  NGH's net income of $2.97 billion for 1999 compares to a net
loss of $577 million for 1998. The increase primarily reflects the net gain on
the sale of the international tobacco business and increased operating income
partially offset by a provision for income taxes in 1999 compared to a slight
tax benefit in 1998. Also contributing to the increase were profitable tobacco
results prior to the sale and distribution in 1999 compared to a loss for all of
1998, and lower interest and debt expense partially offset by an extraordinary
loss in 1999.

    1998 VS. 1997.  NGH's net loss of $577 million for 1998 compares to net
income of $381 million for 1997. The decrease is principally due to lower
operating income partially offset by a slight tax benefit in 1998 compared to a
tax provision in 1997, and unprofitable tobacco results in 1998 compared to
income in 1997.

SEASONALITY

    NGH's business is seasonal, with generally higher sales levels in the fourth
quarter. For information concerning seasonality, see Note 19 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Net cash flows from continuing operating activities amounted to
$533 million for 1999 compared to $563 million for 1998. The decrease in net
cash flows from continuing operating activities primarily reflects the 1999
extraordinary losses on debt extinguishments and increased restructuring
payments, partially offset by increased income from continuing operations and
lower working capital requirements.

    Net cash flows from continuing operating activities amounted to
$563 million for 1998 compared to $520 million for 1997. The increase in net
cash flows from continuing operating activities primarily reflects lower working
capital requirements.

    Net cash flows from discontinued operating activities amounted to
$2,284 million for 1999 compared to $546 million for 1998. The 1999 amount
reflects the gain on sale of Reynolds International and profitable tobacco
results prior to the sale and distribution in 1999 compared to a loss for all of
1998.

    Cash flows used in investing activities were $894 million in 1999 compared
to cash inflows of $200 million in 1998. The $1,094 million change in cash flows
was primarily due to increased spending for business acquisitions in 1999 and
the absence in 1999 of proceeds from the sale of businesses partially offset by
lower capital expenditures and higher proceeds from the sale of assets.

    Net cash flows from investing activities in 1998 increased $595 million from
1997 levels to $200 million, primarily due to increased net proceeds of $500
million from the sale of food businesses, and reduced levels of capital
expenditures and acquisition spending in 1998.

                                       17
<PAGE>
    Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1,773 million for 1999,
compared to $1,318 million of cash flows used in financing activities for 1998.
The $455 million change in cash flows in 1999 is principally due to the 1999
redemptions of preferred securities, partially offset by an increase in net
borrowings in 1999 of $263 million versus a reduction in net borrowings of
$717 million in 1998.

    Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1,318 million for 1998,
compared to $676 million of cash flows used in financing activities in 1997. The
increase in 1998 is primarily due to debt repayments of $717 million in 1998
versus borrowings of $39 million in 1997.

    Capital expenditures were $241 million in 1999. Management expects that the
level of capital expenditures for 2000 will be approximately $250 million, which
is sufficient to support the strategic and operating needs of Nabisco Holdings'
businesses. Management also expects that cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to support its planned capital expenditures in 2000. Nabisco
Holdings' long-term commitments for capital expenditures are not material.

    In August 1997, Nabisco issued $200 million of floating rate (5.38% at
December 31, 1998) notes due August 2009. During the third quarter of 1999
Nabisco exercised a call option to redeem these notes. An extraordinary loss of
$5 million ($2 million after tax, net of minority interest) was recognized by
NGH. This redemption was refinanced with commercial paper.

    In December 1997, Nabisco completed a tender offer and redeemed $432 million
of its $538 million outstanding 8.3% notes due 1999 and $541 million of its $688
million outstanding 8% notes due 2000. An extraordinary loss of $43 million ($21
million after tax, net of minority interest) was recorded for this transaction.
The redemption of these notes was refinanced with additional short-term
borrowings, which in turn were refinanced by the issuance of long-term debt in
January 1998.

    In January 1998, Nabisco issued $400 million of 6% notes due February 15,
2011 which are putable and callable on February 15, 2001; $300 million of 6 1/8%
notes due February 1, 2033 which are putable and callable on February 1, 2003;
and $300 million of 6 3/8% notes due February 1, 2035 which are putable and
callable on February 1, 2005. Unless the notes are put, the interest rates on
the 6% notes, the 6 1/8% notes and the 6 3/8% notes are reset on the applicable
put/call date at 5.75%, 6.07% and 6.07%, respectively, plus, in each case,
Nabisco's future credit spread on treasury notes at a fixed rate resulting in a
yield to maturity of comparable maturities. Nabisco no longer retains the right
to call these notes, as these options were sold at issuance for $41 million. The
net proceeds from these notes and the sale of call options were used to repay
commercial paper borrowings.

    In August 1998, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary trust of NGH issued
$374 million principal amount of preferred securities. The proceeds from the
sale of the preferred securities and the original capital contribution were
invested by the trust in approximately $385 million principal amount of 9 1/2%
junior subordinated debentures of NGH. The junior subordinated debentures are
redeemable by NGH at $25 per debenture on or after September 30, 2003 and are
due in September 2047. Cash distributions on the preferred securities are
cumulative at an annual rate of 9 1/2% of the liquidation amount of $25 per
security and are payable quarterly in arrears. In October 1998, NGH used $301
million of the proceeds from the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures
to redeem its outstanding Series B preferred stock.

    On April 13, 1999, NGH offered to purchase any and all of its 9 1/2% trust
preferred securities and sought consents from the holders of those securities to
waive certain covenants that might have prevented some of the reorganization
transactions described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The
consent offer expired on May 17, 1999 and resulted in the tender of
approximately $276 million of the total $374 million trust preferred securities.
The total cost to tender the preferred securities, including accrued interest,
premium fees and consent fees was approximately $314 million. NGH invested
approximately $114 million of the proceeds received from RJR from the
international tobacco sale in U.S. government

                                       18
<PAGE>
securities and highly rated commercial paper which is intended to service future
principal and interest payments through 2003 on the trust securities not
tendered.

    On May 18, 1999, NGH called for redemption all of its $949 million 10% trust
preferred securities outstanding. NGH completed the redemption of the full
amount of the securities on June 18, 1999.

    The purchase and redemption of the 9 1/2 and 10% trust preferred securities
resulted in an extraordinary loss of approximately $44 million ($29 million
after tax).

    On May 18, 1999, NGH called for redemption of all of its outstanding ESOP
convertible preferred stock at $16.25 per share, plus accrued dividends. A total
of 12,412,767 shares were redeemed at a cost of approximately $202 million. NGH
completed this transaction on June 10, 1999. The 406,200 remaining shares were
repurchased at $16.00 per share.

    Nabisco maintains a three-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, of
which no borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 1999, and a 364-day $1.10
billion credit facility primarily to support commercial paper borrowings of $902
million. Accordingly, $198 million was available at December 31, 1999. At the
end of the 364-day period, any borrowings outstanding under the 364-day credit
facility are convertible into a three-year term loan at Nabisco's option. Unless
extended, the revolving credit facility expires in October 2002 and the 364-day
credit facility expires in October 2000. The commitments under the revolving
credit facility decline to approximately $1.46 billion in the final year. The
revolving credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $300 million
of letters of credit, of which none was issued at December 31, 1999.
Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by the amount of any
borrowings outstanding and letters of credit issued under the facility and by
the amount of outstanding commercial paper in excess of $1.10 billion.

    NGH currently anticipates that it will pay a regular quarterly cash dividend
that is approximately equal to the amount of the regular Nabisco Holdings'
quarterly cash dividend that NGH expects to receive. However, the dividend
payable on each NGH common share will be less than the dividend payable on each
Nabisco Holdings' common share because the number of outstanding NGH common
shares exceeds the number of Nabisco Holdings' shares owned by NGH. Passing
through Nabisco Holdings' current annual dividend of $0.75 per share of NGH's
213,250,000 shares of Nabisco Holdings' stock yield's an annual dividend of
approximately $0.49 per share on the 326,146,847 shares of NGH stock outstanding
on December 31, 1999.

    Nabisco Holdings' credit facilities restrict dividends and distributions
after January 1, 1999 by Nabisco Holdings to holders of its equity securities by
requiring a minimum net worth amount. As of December 31, 1999, Nabisco Holdings'
actual net worth, as defined, exceeded required net worth by approximately
$915 million. Nabisco Holdings does not believe that its credit arrangements
will limit its ability to pay dividends.

    Nabisco's credit facilities limit the ability of Nabisco Holdings and its
subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, engage in transactions with stockholders and
affiliates, create liens, acquire, sell or dispose of certain assets and
securities and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. Nabisco Holdings and
Nabisco believe that they are currently in compliance with all covenants and
restrictions imposed by the terms of their indebtedness.

    Nabisco filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for $1.0 billion of debt which was declared effective on
December 10, 1999.

    At December 31, 1999, NGH's total debt (notes payable and long-term debt,
including current maturities and mandatorily redeemable preferred securities)
and total capital (total debt and stockholders' equity) amounted to
approximately $4.2 billion and $7.3 billion, respectively, of which total debt
is lower by approximately $945 million and total capital is lower by
$5,798 million than at December 31, 1998. NGH's

                                       19
<PAGE>
ratios of total debt to stockholders' equity and total debt to total capital
were 1.32 to 1 and .57 to 1, respectively.

    The 1998 restructuring programs will require cash expenditures of
approximately $140 million, of which $103 million has been spent through
December 31, 1999. The remaining amount of $37 million will be expended
primarily in 2000. In addition, the programs required additional expenditures of
$132 million, of which $76 million was incurred in 1999. These additional
expenses were principally for implementation and integration of the programs and
included costs for relocation of employees and equipment and training. Nabisco
expects to incur capital expenditures of approximately $85 million over the
programs' duration, of which $69 million has been incurred since the programs'
inception. All cash requirements are expected to be funded from operations.

    At December 31, 1999, there was $802 million of accumulated and
undistributed income of foreign subsidiaries. No applicable U.S. taxes have been
provided because management intends for these earnings to be reinvested abroad
indefinitely. The accumulated and undistributed earnings have funded and will
continue to fund international acquisitions, new product introductions and other
business building opportunities.

INFLATION

    Inflation has not had a material effect on Nabisco's business in recent
years.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

    The Year 2000 Issue was a result of computer applications that were written
using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. The
issue was whether computer systems would properly interpret date-sensitive
information when the year changed to 2000. Nabisco recognized the issues
associated with the Year 2000 problem and the need to ensure that its operations
would not be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software failures. Comprehensive
reviews of all systems and applications, including those of key third parties
(suppliers, service providers and customers) were conducted and detailed plans
were developed for required system modifications and replacements.

    Incremental costs, which included contractor costs to modify or replace
existing systems, and costs of internal resources dedicated to achieving Year
2000 compliance were charged to expense as incurred and were funded from
operating cash flows. The total cost of achieving Year 2000 compliance was
$40 million, of which $24 million was incurred in 1999.

    Nabisco's Year 2000 implementation plan, including contingency measures,
were completed in all material respects by the end of 1999. The Year 2000 issue
did not have a material effect on Nabsico's business, results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

JOINT VENTURE

    On December 14, 1999, Nabisco announced its participation in a joint
venture, Burlington Biscuits plc ("Burlington"), with Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst
Limited ("HMTF"), an investment firm, to bid for 100% of United Biscuits
(Holdings) plc ("UB"). Subsequently, Burlington acquired 29.9% of UB. As
announced on March 20, 2000, Nabisco and HMTF have entered into definitive
agreements under which: (i) Nabisco and HMTF will join a consortium of
investors, Finalrealm Limited ("Finalrealm"), also bidding for UB; (ii) an
associate of Finalrealm will acquire Burlington's 29.9% interest in UB, giving
Finalrealm a 47.6% interest in UB; (iii) Finalrealm's cash offer of 265 pence
per UB share becomes a Final Offer under the City Code and is extended until
April 5, 2000; (iv) subject to Finalrealm being entitled to exercise compulsory
acquisition rights in respect of minority interests in UB and regulatory
competition clearance,

                                       20
<PAGE>
Nabisco will contribute approximately $45 million in cash and its operations in
Spain, Portugal and the Middle East (in 1999, these operations had net sales of
approximately $290 million) to an associate of Finalrealm; (v) Finalrealm has
agreed to procure the sale to Nabisco of UB's operations in China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan conditional on the Final Offer becoming or being declared wholly
unconditional (in 1999, these operations had net sales of approximately
$66 million); and (vi) following completion of the Final Offer and its related
transactions, Nabisco would have an equity interest of 24.6% in the joint
venture.

    Upon completion, the joint venture will be comprised of UB businesses in the
United Kingdom, France and the Benelux countries, Nabisco's operations named
above and HMTF's UK Horizon Biscuits business.

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

    On March 13, 2000, the Board of Directors ("Board") of NGH adopted a
stockholder rights plan. Under the plan, the Board declared a dividend of one
preferred stock purchase right ("Right") for each share of NGH common stock
outstanding on March 20, 2000, and authorized the distribution of one Right for
each subsequently issued common share. Each Right entitles the holder to
purchase from NGH one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of preferred
stock at an initial purchase price of $30. The Board authorized the issuance of
4,400,000 preferred shares under this plan, none of which has been issued. The
Rights will become exercisable at a specified period of time after any person
becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock of NGH or
commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in any
person becoming the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock. If any
person becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock, each
Right will entitle the holder, other than the acquiring person, to purchase, for
$30, a number of shares of NGH common stock having a market value of $60. For
persons who as of March 13, 2000 beneficially owned 10% or more of the common
stock, the plan "grandfathers" their current level of ownership, so long as they
do not purchase additional shares. Unless earlier redeemed, the Rights will
expire on March 13, 2002.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Nabisco due to
adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. In the
ordinary course of business, Nabisco is exposed to market risk in the areas of
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These
exposures are directly related to its international operations, its use of
agricultural commodities in its operations, and its normal investing and funding
activities. Nabisco has established various policies and procedures to manage
its exposure to market risks, including the use of financial and commodity
derivatives, which are highly correlated to its underlying exposures. The
counterparties in these transactions are highly rated financial institutions.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is monitored based on the
amounts the company would receive or pay when settling the contracts. Additional
information regarding our use of financial instruments is included in Notes 1
and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Nabisco estimates its market risk due to changes in foreign currency rates,
interest rates and commodity prices utilizing financial models called Value at
Risk ("VaR"). Nabisco employs a variance/co-variance approach to its calculation
of VaR, which is a statistical measure of the potential loss in terms of fair
value, cash flows or earnings of market risk sensitive instruments over a
one-year horizon using a 95% confidence interval for changes in market rates and
prices. The model assumes that financial returns are normally distributed. For
options and instruments with non-linear returns, the model uses the delta/gamma
method to approximate the financial return.

                                       21
<PAGE>
    The VaR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent
actual losses in fair value or pre-tax earnings that will be incurred by
Nabisco, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in
market factors.

INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE

    Nabisco manages its debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of
fixed and floating rate debt, and through the use of derivatives. Nabisco uses
interest rate swaps and caps to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes, and
also to lower its financing costs. Nabisco is exposed to changes in interest
rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities which include commercial
paper, short-term borrowings and long-term fixed rate debt used to maintain
liquidity and fund its business operations. The 1999 average VaR associated with
the fair value of financial instruments resulting from changes in interest rates
was a $216 million after-tax loss. At December 31, 1999, it was a $221 million
after-tax loss, a decrease of $25 million from the December 31, 1998 amount.
This change is primarily due to the decrease in price volatility of long-term
U.S. treasuries which are used to estimate the VaR of Nabisco's interest rate
sensitive financial instruments.

    Nabisco does not believe that reasonably possible near-term changes in
interest rates will have a material effect on the future earnings or cash flows
of Nabisco.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE

    Foreign currency fluctuations can affect Nabisco's net investments, earnings
and cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Nabisco primarily uses foreign
currency forward contracts and option contracts to hedge certain international
subsidiary debt and protect Nabisco from the risk that eventual dollar cash
flows resulting from transactions with international third parties will be
adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Nabisco's primary exchange rate
exposure is with various Latin American currencies and the Canadian dollar
against the U.S. dollar.

    Upon reviewing its derivatives and other foreign currency instruments, based
on historical foreign currency rate movements, Nabisco does not believe that
reasonably possible near-term changes in foreign currency will result in a
material effect on the future earnings, fair values or cash flows of Nabisco.

COMMODITY PRICE EXPOSURE

    The acquisition of certain raw materials used in Nabisco's products exposes
it to commodity price changes. Nabisco utilizes purchase orders, non-cancelable
contracts, futures contracts and futures options to manage its commodity price
risk. Nabisco's primary commodity price exposures are to wheat, sugar, cocoa and
vegetable oils.

    The VaR associated with Nabisco's derivative commodity instruments due to
reasonably possible near-term changes in commodity prices, based on historical
commodity price movements, would not result in a material effect on the future
earnings of Nabisco.

    The VaR associated with Nabisco's net commodity exposure (anticipated future
purchases less derivatives, inventory and firm purchase commitments) would
result in a potential loss in pre-tax earnings of $30 million at December 31,
1999, an increase of $12 million from the December 31, 1998 amount primarily due
to the volatility of soy oil and wheat commodity prices on our underlying
positions in those commodities. For 1999, the average VaR associated with
Nabisco's net commodity exposure was a pre-tax loss of $36 million.

    The VaR associated with either Nabisco's derivative commodity instruments or
its net commodity exposure would not have a material effect on the fair values
or cash flows of Nabisco.

    The foregoing discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward-looking
statements concerning, among other things, the amount of savings from
restructuring programs, the level of future capital expenditures, and the level
of dividends. These statements reflect management's current views with respect
to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are
based on many assumptions and factors including competitive pricing for
products, commodity prices, success of new product innovations and acquisitions,
economic conditions in countries where NGH's subsidiaries do business, the
effects of currency fluctuations and the effects of government regulation. Any
changes in such assumptions or factors could produce significantly different
results.

    The financial statements presented in this report have been prepared by
management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles using,
where appropriate, management's best estimates and judgment. Management
maintains a system of internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that the
Company's assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed as authorized and
properly recorded. The system includes established policies and procedures, a
program of internal audits, management reviews and careful selection and
training of qualified personnel.

    The audit committee is comprised solely of outside directors. It meets
periodically with management, the internal auditors, and the independent
auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP, to discuss and address internal accounting
control, auditing and financial reporting matters. Both independent and internal
auditors have unrestricted access to the audit committee.

             REPORT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Nabisco Group Holdings Corp.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nabisco
Group Holdings Corp. ("NGH") as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of NGH at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies below and the other notes to
the consolidated financial statements on the following pages are integral parts
of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Nabisco Group Holdings
Corp. ("NGH") and its majority owned subsidiaries, including 80.6% of Nabisco
Holdings Corp. ("Nabisco Holdings") and Nabisco, Inc. ("Nabisco"), its direct
wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Consolidated Financial Statements").

CONSOLIDATION AND USE OF ESTIMATES

    The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of NGH and its
subsidiaries. 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 balance sheet date and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that have original maturities
of three months or less. Cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 and 1998, valued
at cost (which approximated market value), totaled $198 million and $71 million,
respectively.

INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
principally under the first-in, first-out method.

COMMODITY CONTRACTS

    Due to wide fluctuations in the market prices for various agricultural
commodities, Nabisco frequently enters into futures contracts to hedge the price
risk associated with anticipated purchases. Nabisco realizes changes in the
market value of futures contracts that qualify as hedges as an addition to, or
reduction from, the raw material inventory cost. Realized gains and losses are
recorded in cost of products sold when the related finished products are sold.
The amount of hedging losses deferred as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$7 million and $5 million, respectively. Any futures contracts that do not
qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked-to-market each reporting
period with the resulting market change reflected in cost of products sold in
the current period.

DEPRECIATION

    For financial reporting purposes, depreciation expense is generally provided
on a straight-line basis, using estimated useful lives of up to 20 years for
land improvements, 20 to 40 years for buildings and leasehold improvements and 3
to 30 years for machinery and equipment.

TRADEMARKS AND GOODWILL

    Values assigned to trademarks and goodwill are amortized on a straight-line
basis principally over a 40-year period.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    Long-lived assets are comprised of intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment. Long-lived assets, including certain identifiable intangibles and
goodwill related to those assets to be held and used,

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An estimate of
undiscounted future cash flows produced by the asset, or the appropriate
grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether an
impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is
measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If
quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on
various valuation techniques, including a discounted value of estimated future
cash flows and fundamental analysis. Assets to be disposed of are reported at
the lower of their carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Revenue is recognized when title to finished product passes to the customer.
Revenue is recognized as the net amount to be received after deducting estimated
amounts for discounts and product returns.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

    Other income (expense), net includes interest income, certain foreign
currency gains and losses, expenses related to the sales of accounts receivable,
and fees related to banking and borrowing programs.

ADVERTISING

    Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising expense
was $250 million, $226 million and $223 million for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    Research and development expenses, which are expensed as incurred, were $96
million, $100 million and $95 million for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

INTEREST RATE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    Interest rate swaps and caps are used to effectively hedge certain interest
rate exposures. In both types of hedges, the differential to be paid or received
is accrued and recognized in interest expense and may change as market interest
rates change. Any premium paid or received is amortized over the duration of the
hedged instrument. If an arrangement is terminated or effectively terminated
prior to maturity, then the realized or unrealized gain or loss is effectively
recognized over the remaining original life of the agreement if the hedged item
remains outstanding, or immediately, if the underlying hedged instrument does
not remain outstanding. If the arrangement is not terminated or effectively
terminated prior to maturity, but the underlying hedged instrument is no longer
outstanding, then the unrealized gain or loss on the related interest rate swap
or cap is recognized immediately.

FOREIGN CURRENCY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The forward foreign exchange contracts and other hedging arrangements
entered into by NGH and its subsidiaries generally mature at the time the hedged
foreign currency transactions are settled. Gains or losses on forward foreign
currency transactions are determined by changes in market rates and are
generally included at settlement in the basis of the underlying hedged
transaction. To the extent that the foreign currency transaction does not occur,
gains and losses are recognized immediately.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    During the second quarter of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments

                                      F-9

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
and Hedging Activities, which was required to be adopted by January 1, 2000,
with early adoption permitted. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, which amended SFAS No. 133 to delay its
effective date one year. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in
the fair value of derivatives will be recorded each period in earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of
a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. NGH has not
yet determined the impact, if any, that adoption or subsequent application of
SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial position or results of operations.

NET INCOME PER SHARE

    Per share data has been computed and presented pursuant to the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, which
was adopted in the fourth quarter of 1997. Net income per common share--basic is
calculated by dividing net income less preferred stock dividends by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income per
common share--diluted is calculated by dividing net income less preferred stock
dividends by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent
shares for stock options outstanding during the period.

INCOME TAXES

    During the second quarter of 1999, RJR Nabisco, Inc., which has been renamed
R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc. ("RJR"), and RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp.,
which has been renamed Nabisco Group Holdings Corp. ("NGH") completed a series
of reorganization transactions as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. As part of those transactions, NGH, Nabisco Holdings and
RJR entered into a tax sharing agreement that sets forth, among other things,
each company's rights and obligations relating to tax payments and refunds for
periods before and after those transactions, certain tax indemnification
arrangements and other tax matters such as the filing of tax returns and the
handling of audits and other tax proceedings.

    NGH will file a Federal consolidated return for 1999 that will include the
results of Nabisco Holdings and its subsidiaries for the entire year and RJR and
its subsidiaries for the period from January 1 up to and including June 14.

    Any adjustments to federal and state income tax liabilities for years after
1989 and prior to June 15, 1999 are the responsibility of RJR or Nabisco, as
applicable. Any adjustments to federal and state income tax liabilities for 1989
or earlier are the obligation of RJR. RJR will pay to NGH any tax refunds
received by RJR and attributable to NGH for years after 1989.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2--THE REORGANIZATION

    On March 9, 1999, RJR and Reynolds Tobacco entered into a definitive
agreement to sell the international tobacco business for approximately $8
billion, including the assumption of approximately $200 million of net debt, to
Japan Tobacco Inc. ("Japan Tobacco"). The sale was substantially completed on
May 12, 1999 and resulted in a net gain of approximately $2.97 billion, after
income taxes of approximately $1.9 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments.
Under the terms of the agreement, Japan Tobacco acquired substantially all of
the business, including intellectual property rights of Reynolds International,
including the international rights to the CAMEL, WINSTON and SALEM brand names.
Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce debt and for general corporate
purposes. The repurchase of approximately $4 billion of debt securities by RJR
resulted in an extraordinary loss of approximately $384 million ($250 million
after-tax) during the period.

    Also on March 9, 1999, NGH announced that its board of directors had
approved a plan to separate the domestic tobacco business conducted by Reynolds
Tobacco, from the food business conducted by Nabisco's operating subsidiaries.
Under the plan, the separation was accomplished by the transfer on May 18, 1999
of RJR's 80.5% interest in Nabisco, together with approximately $1.6 billion in
proceeds from the international tobacco sale, to NGH through a merger
transaction, followed by a spin-off on June 14, 1999 to NGH stockholders of
shares in RJR. The merger transaction and subsequent spin-off are intended to be
tax-free. An additional $200 million of proceeds from the international tobacco
sale was transferred by RJR to NGH prior to the spin-off in satisfaction of
certain liabilities assumed by NGH.

    Upon completion of the spin-off, NGH was legally renamed Nabisco Group
Holdings Corp. and continues to exist as a holding company, owning 80.6% of
Nabisco. The renamed Nabisco Group Holdings Corp. (symbol: NGH) and Nabisco
(symbol: NA) each will continue to trade as separate companies on The New York
Stock Exchange. Shares of RJR (symbol: RJR), as the owner of 100% of Reynolds
Tobacco, are also trading separately under the changed name of R.J. Reynolds
Tobacco Holdings, Inc.

    NGH, RJR and Reynolds Tobacco have entered into several agreements governing
the relationships among the parties after the distribution of RJR's shares to
NGH stockholders, including the provision of intercompany services by Nabisco to
NGH, certain tax matters, indemnification rights and obligations and other
matters among the parties.

    On April 13, 1999, NGH offered to purchase any and all of its 9 1/2% trust
preferred securities and sought consents from the holders of those securities to
waive certain covenants that might have prevented some of the transactions
described above. The consent offer expired on May 17, 1999 and resulted in the
tender of approximately $276 million of the total $374 million trust preferred
securities. The total cost to tender the preferred securities, including accrued
interest, premium fees and consent fees was approximately $314 million. NGH
invested approximately $114 million of the proceeds received from RJR from the
international tobacco sale in highly rated U.S. government securities and
commercial paper which is intended to service future principal and interest
payments through 2003 on the trust securities not tendered.

    On May 18, 1999, NGH called for redemption all of its $949 million 10% trust
preferred securities outstanding. NGH completed the redemption of the full
amount of the securities on June 18, 1999.

    The purchase and redemption of the 9 1/2% and 10% trust preferred securities
resulted in an extraordinary loss of approximately $44 million ($29 million
after tax).

    On or about May 18, 1999, NGH called for redemption of all of its
outstanding ESOP convertible preferred stock at $16.25 per share, plus accrued
dividends. A total of 12,412,767 shares were redeemed at

    In connection with the reorganization transactions, the assets and
liabilities of the Retirement Plan for Employees of RJR Nabisco, Inc. (the "old

NOTE 4--OPERATIONS

ACQUISITIONS

    In recent years, subsidiaries of Nabisco Holdings have completed a number of
acquisitions to expand the domestic and international food businesses, all of
which have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations. In September 1999, a subsidiary of Nabisco acquired the
stock of Canale S.A., Argentina's fourth largest biscuit company for
approximately $134 million resulting in goodwill of $45 million. In November
1999, Nabisco also acquired certain assets and liabilities of Favorite Brands
International, Inc., the fourth largest non-chocolate candy company in the
United States for approximately $480 million. As of December 31, 1999, a
preliminary purchase price allocation was completed, resulting in goodwill of
approximately $68 million, subject to finalization of integration plans which
could result in an adjustment to goodwill in 2000. In 1998, a subsidiary of
Nabisco acquired the assets of the Jamaican biscuit and snacking company,
Butterkist, Ltd. for $9 million. The fair value of the assets acquired
approximated the purchase price. In December, 1997, Nabisco acquired the stock
of Cornnuts, Inc., a manufacturer of crispy corn kernel snacks, for
approximately $51 million. As of December 31, 1997, the acquisition was carried
in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet pending completion of the
purchase price allocation. During 1998 the purchase price was allocated
resulting in goodwill of $30 million, including $4 million for a plant closure.

    The Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income do not
include any revenues or expenses related to the acquisitions described above
prior to their respective closing dates. The acquisitions were financed through
commercial paper borrowings. The following are NGH's unaudited pro forma

FOOD DIVESTITURES AND OTHER CHARGES

    The 1998 cost of products sold includes a $35 million net gain ($15 million
after tax, net of minority interest) related to businesses sold and a
$21 million charge ($14 million after tax, net of minority interest) to exit
non-strategic businesses. Both items were recorded in the third quarter.
Businesses sold in 1998 include the College Inn brand of canned broths, Plush
Pippin frozen pies, the U.S. and Canadian tablespreads and U.S. egg substitute
businesses (formerly included in the U.S. Foods Group operating segment) and the
Del Monte brand canned vegetable business in Venezuela (formerly included in the
International Food Group operating segment) for net proceeds of approximately
$550 million.

    In June 1997, Nabisco sold certain domestic regional brands for $50 million
that resulted in a $32 million gain ($15 million after tax, net of minority
interest). In addition, non-recurring expenses of $31 million ($15 million after
tax, net of minority interest) were recognized. These included a $14 million
additional provision to write-down property, plant and equipment ($10 million),
intangibles ($2 million) and inventory ($2 million) of the Plush Pippin frozen
pie business sold in 1998 at its approximate carrying value of $5 million;
$10 million of severance and related benefits for approximately 80 sales persons
in the U.S. Foods Group sales organization; and $7 million of exit costs
resulting from the relocation of Nabisco International's headquarters from New
York City to New Jersey consisting of $6 million for lease abandonment costs and
$1 million for employee severance benefits. The net $1 million pre-tax gain from
these items is included in selling, advertising, administrative and general
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 1997 net sales from the Plush
Pippin frozen pie business were $40 million and operating income was not
material.

    Net sales for 1998 and 1997 from all food divestitures in both years by
Nabisco were $298 million and $632 million, respectively. Operating income for
1998 and 1997 from the divested businesses was $33 million and $87 million,
respectively.

NOTE 4--OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
1998 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

    In the second and fourth quarters of 1998, Nabisco recorded restructuring
charges of $406 million ($216 million after tax, net of minority interest) and
$124 million ($75 million after tax, net of minority interest), respectively.
These restructuring programs were undertaken to streamline operations and
improve profitability and will result in a workforce reduction of approximately
6,900 employees of which 6,100 positions were eliminated as of December 31,
1999. The headcount reduction represents a slight increase from the original
projection of 6,500. The increase resulted from higher than anticipated
eliminations as projects were completed and is primarily due to projects in
International manufacturing locations and to a lesser extent the Biscuit sales
force reorganization. The increase in the number of positions eliminated did not
result in incremental spending as higher costs for these projects were offset by
lower costs and cash outlays overall, as described below.

    The June 1998 program was substantially completed in 1999 and the December
1998 program is expected to be substantially completed by mid-year 2000. The
restructuring programs when completed will require net cash expenditures of
approximately $140 million. In addition, the programs required additional
restructuring-related expenses of $132 million ($64 million after tax, net of
minority interest), of which $76 million ($37 million after tax, net of minority
interest) was incurred in the twelve months ended December 31, 1999, and are now
completed. These additional expenses were principally for implementation and
integration of the programs and included costs for relocation of employees and
equipment and training.

    In 1999, Nabisco recorded a net restructuring credit of $67 million
($39 million after tax, net of minority interest), related to the Biscuit, U.S.
Foods Group and International businesses of $30 million, $18 million and
$19 million, respectively. The credit primarily reflects higher than anticipated
proceeds from the sale of facilities closed as part of the 1998 restructuring
programs, lower costs and cash outlays than originally estimated for certain of
these programs and minor project cancellations offset to a minor extent by
increased costs in certain programs.

    The major components of the credit were lower severance and benefit costs
for: the sales force reorganization of $21 million; staff reductions at
headquarters and operating units of $24 million; and distribution
reorganizations of $5 million. The reduced costs reflected unanticipated staff
reductions through voluntary separations rather than planned terminations and
other net changes in cost estimates. In addition, asset impairment costs were
lower by $14 million reflecting higher proceeds and anticipated proceeds from
the sales of facilities.

    Total charges and payments include cash expenditures, non-cash charges
primarily for asset impairments and committed severance and benefits to be paid.
The total cash payments, net of cash proceeds applied against the restructuring
reserves totaled $103 million, which is comprised of cumulative cash
expenditures of $124 million and cumulative cash proceeds of $21 million. For
the year ended December 31, 1999, cash payments, net of cash proceeds totaled
$65 million, which is comprised of $86 million of cash expenditures and
$21 million of cash proceeds which were applied against the restructuring
reserves.

    Asset impairments in connection with the restructuring program were
identified and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. In
instances where the held and used method was applied, which includes all plant
closures, the fair value of impaired assets was determined using the discounted
cash flows generated from assets while still in use and the estimated proceeds
from their ultimate sale.

    As of December 31, 1999, production had ceased in 16 of the 18 facilities
identified under the programs. Nabisco decided not to close the remaining two
small facilities in the International Food Group due to volatile economic
conditions and a highly inflationary economy which made the economic benefit
unachievable.

NOTE 5--ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

    Nabisco maintains an arrangement to sell for cash substantially all of its
domestic trade accounts receivable to a financial institution. In addition,
similar arrangements have been established for the sale of trade accounts
receivable by certain foreign subsidiaries.

    1999 VS. 1998.  The reported effective tax rate for 1999 was 38.2% compared
to 1.5% for 1998. Excluding the tax related impact of restructuring credits
recorded in 1999 and restructuring charges and net gain from divestitures in
1998, the effective rates are 39.7% and 40.5% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    At December 31, 1999, there was $802 million of accumulated and
undistributed income of foreign subsidiaries. These earnings are intended by
management to be reinvested abroad indefinitely. Accordingly, no applicable U.S.
federal deferred income taxes have been provided nor is a determination of the
amount of unrecognized U.S. federal deferred income taxes practicable.

    The payment of long-term debt through December 31, 2004 is due as follows
(in millions):
2001-$139; 2002-$1,399; 2003-$52 and 2004-$97.

    Nabisco Holdings and Nabisco maintain a $1.5 billion revolving credit
facility and a 364-day $1.10 billion credit facility primarily to support
commercial paper issuances. At the end of the 364-day period, any borrowings
outstanding under the 364-day credit facility are convertible into a three-year
term loan at Nabisco's option. The commitments under the revolving credit
facility decline to approximately $1.46 billion on October 31, 2001 for the
final year. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at
rates which vary with the prime rate or LIBOR. Borrowings under the 364-day
credit facility bear interest at rates which vary with LIBOR. At December 31,
1999, the full $1.5 billion was available under the revolving credit facility
and $198 million was available under the 364-day credit facility. Similar
facilities were in place during 1998 and 1997.

    Commercial paper borrowings have been included under long-term debt based on
Nabisco's intention, and ability under its credit facilities, to refinance these
borrowings for more than one year.

    The Nabisco Holdings' credit facilities restrict dividends and distributions
after January 1, 1999 by Nabisco Holdings to holders of its equity securities by
requiring a minimum net worth amount. As of December 31, 1999, actual net worth,
as defined, exceeded required net worth by approximately $915 million.

    The Nabisco Holdings' credit facilities also limit the ability of Nabisco
Holdings and its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, engage in transactions with
stockholders and affiliates, create liens, acquire, sell or dispose of certain
assets and securities and engage in certain mergers or consolidations. Nabisco
and Nabisco Holdings believe that they are currently in compliance with all
covenants and restrictions imposed by the terms of their indebtedness.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 11--LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
    In August 1997, Nabisco issued $200 million of floating rate (5.38% at
December 31, 1998) notes due August 2009. During the third quarter of 1999
Nabisco exercised a call option to redeem these notes. An extraordinary loss of
$5 million ($2 million after tax, net of minority interest) was recognized by
NGH. This redemption was refinanced with commercial paper.

    In December 1997, Nabisco completed a tender offer and redeemed $432 million
of its $538 million 8.3% notes due 1999 and $541 million of its $688 million
outstanding 8% notes due 2000. An extraordinary loss of $43 million ($21 million
after tax, net of minority interest) was recorded for this transaction. The
redemption of these notes was financed with additional short-term borrowings,
which in turn were refinanced by the issuance of long-term debt in January 1998.

    In January 1998, Nabisco issued $400 million of 6% notes due February 15,
2011 which are putable and callable on February 15, 2001; $300 million of 6 1/8%
notes due February 1, 2033 which are putable and callable on February 1, 2003;
and $300 million of 6 3/8% notes due February 1, 2035 which are putable and
callable on February 1, 2005. Unless the notes are put, the interest rates on
the 6% notes, the 6 1/8% notes and the 6 3/8% notes are reset on the applicable
put/call date at 5.75%, 6.07% and 6.07%, respectively, plus, in each case,
Nabisco's future credit spread on treasury notes of comparable maturities.
Nabisco no longer retains the right to call these notes as these options were
sold at issuance for $41 million. The net proceeds from these notes and the sale
of call options were used to repay commercial paper borrowings.

    In August 1998, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary trust of NGH issued
$374 million principal amount of preferred securities. The proceeds from the
sale of the preferred securities and the original capital contribution were
invested by the trust in approximately $385 million principal amount of 9 1/2%
junior subordinated debentures of NGH. The junior subordinated debentures are
redeemable by NGH at $25 per debenture on or after September 30, 2003 and are
due in September 2047. Cash distributions on the preferred securities are
cumulative at an annual rate of 9 1/2% of the liquidation amount of $25 per
security and are payable quarterly in arrears. In October 1998, NGH used $301
million of the proceeds from the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures
to redeem its outstanding Series B preferred stock.

    Nabisco filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for $1.0 billion of debt which was declared effective on
December 10, 1999.

    The estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $4.0 billion for both years.
Considerable judgment was required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. In addition, the use of different market assumptions
and/or estimation methodologies may have had a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of long-term debt as
of December 31, 1999 and 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
Nabisco could realize in a current market exchange.

NOTE 12--CONTINGENCIES

    TOBACCO LITIGATION

    As of March 20, 2000, NGH was a defendant in 40 lawsuits arising out of its
now severed relationship with the tobacco business conducted by Reynolds Tobacco
or its subsidiaries. These cases name NGH on a variety of theories, not always
specificially pled, that seek to impose liability on NGH for injuries allegedly
caused by the use, sale, distribution, manufacture, development, advertising,
marketing or health effects of, exposure to, or research, statements or warnings
regarding cigarettes.

    Fifteen of the active suits were brought in state courts by claimants
seeking recovery of health care costs they incurred for large numbers of
beneficiaries whose illnesses are allegedly related to cigarettes. The
plaintiffs in these cases include groups of union health-benefit trust funds, a
Native American tribe and two foreign countries or political subdivisions. Four
of the cases are non-union class action suits, one in Pennsylvania federal
court, one in Indiana state court, one in New York federal court and one in
Missouri state court. Another purported class action brought in Lagos, Nigeria
was dismissed by the Lagos court in February 2000 as to all the non-Nigerian
defendants.

    In addition, as of March 20, 2000, 18 anti-trust cases have been served on
NGH as well as a number of cigarette manufacturers and their present or former
parent companies in two federal courts and various state courts. These cases,
all of which seek to be certified as class actions, allege violations of state
and federal anti-trust law and are brought by plaintiffs who claim to represent
direct purchasers, indirect purchasers and retail purchasers of cigarettes.

    NGH's defenses in all the cigarette cases in which it is named include the
merits defenses of Reynolds Tobacco plus separate arguments that NGH is a
holding company that does not engage in any of the activities for which
plaintiffs seek to impose liability. NGH also seeks to be dismissed from some of
these cases based on the fact that it has no presence in the state in which a
particular case is pending and therefore should not be subject to the
jurisdiction of the applicable court.

    In the health-care cost-recovery cases of the kind noted above, defendants
also argue that the case should be dismissed because of the settled law that one
who pays an injured person's medical expenses is legally too remote to maintain
an action against the person allegedly responsible for the injury. Most courts
that have decided motions to dismiss based on this argument, including the
federal courts of appeals for the Second, Third, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth
Circuits, have granted motions to dismiss on these "remoteness" grounds. Ten of
these union cases, all pending in New York State courts, have been consolidated
and, on March 6, 2000, defendants' motion to dismiss these cases on "remoteness"
grounds was granted. Plaintiffs' time to appeal has not expired.

    As of March 20, 2000, no case in which NGH is a named defendant was
scheduled for trial in 2000. Two cases in which Reynolds Tobacco is a defendant
are in the process of being tried and it is likely that several more will be
tried during the course of the year.

    NGH's litigation defense costs as well as any liabilities it might incur as
a result of the cases pending against it are to be paid by RJR and Reynolds
Tobacco under the indemnification provisions of an agreement between NGH, RJR
and Reynolds Tobacco. NGH's costs of defense, as well as any liabilities
incurred as a result of the cases brought by plaintiffs based on sales of
cigarettes outside the United States, are generally also subject to an indemnity
from Japan Tobacco Inc. as provided under the sale agreement among Japan
Tobacco, Reynolds Tobacco and RJR. If RJR and Reynolds Tobacco and Japan Tobacco

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 12--CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
cannot fulfill their respective indemnity obligations, NGH could be required to
make the relevant payments itself.

    In addition to the cases pending against NGH, there are several hundred
lawsuits relating to cigarettes in which Reynolds Tobacco, and sometimes RJR,
are named defendants. One Florida class action case, in which Reynolds Tobacco
is a defendant, ENGLE VS. R.J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY, is being tried in
several phases. A jury found against Reynolds Tobacco and the other cigarette
company defendants in the first phase. The second phase, considering the claims
of class representatives, is ongoing and may be completed in late March, 2000.
Thereafter, the same jury will hear the case for an award of punitive damages,
which would be a lump sum for the class as a whole. A decision on this award may
be made during April 2000. It is not possible to estimate the size of such an
award if made, but it could be in the billions of dollars. No payment of damages
should be required until the end of the trial and appellate process. If Reynolds
Tobacco and RJR are unable to satisfy their payment obligations for any adverse
judgments against them in some or all of these cases, it is possible that
plaintiffs in these cases would seek to recover the unsatisfied obligations from
the assets of NGH by bringing lawsuits on various theories.

    Some of the claims against NGH seek recovery of hundreds of millions and
possibly billions of dollars. This is also true of the litigation pending
against Reynolds Tobacco and RJR. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties.
Management is unable to predict the outcome of the litigation against NGH, or to
derive a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of any possible loss in any
quarterly or annual period or in the aggregate.

    For a detailed list of the tobacco-related lawsuits pending against NGH, see
exhibit 99 to this Form 10-K, which is available through the U.S Securities and
Exchange Commission's website at
http://www.sec.gov/.

    ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

    Nabisco Holdings or certain of its subsidiaries have been named "potentially
responsible parties" ("PRP") with third parties under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA") or may have
indemnification obligations with respect to 14 sites. Liability under CERCLA is
joint and several. Although it is difficult to identify precisely the estimated
cost of resolving these CERCLA matters, such expenditures or costs are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on those companies' or NGH's
financial condition or results of operations.

    In addition, in April 1995, NGH was named a PRP with certain third parties
under CERCLA with respect to a superfund site at which a former subsidiary of
RJR had operations. A subsidiary of NGH may also have indemnification
obligations to a third party with respect to certain lawsuits arising from this
same CERCLA site although the subsidiary itself is not named in the lawsuits.
Management cannot currently predict the likelihood that it will have to
contribute as a PRP or perform on these obligations or what the magnitude of the
obligations would be.

NOTE 13--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    NGH, RJR and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco entered into several agreements governing
the relationships among the parties after the distribution of RJR's shares to
NGH stockholders, including the provision of intercompany services by Nabisco to
NGH, certain tax matters, indemnification rights and obligations and other
matters among the parties.

    These agreements replaced a predecessor intercompany services agreement, a
predecessor tax sharing agreement and a predecessor corporate agreement that had
previously been in place between Nabisco Holdings and RJR.

NOTE 14--COMMITMENTS

    At December 31, 1999, other commitments totaled approximately $245 million,
principally for minimum operating lease commitments, the purchase of machinery
and equipment and other contractual arrangements. Rent expense, including
operating leases was $102 million, $89 million and $84 million for the three
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 15--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

INTEREST RATE

    Nabisco manages its debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of
fixed and floating rate debt, and through the use of derivatives. Nabisco uses
interest rate swaps and caps to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes, and
also to lower its financing costs.

    At December 31, 1999, outstanding interest rate caps had an aggregate
notional principal amount of $700 million and expire in June 2000. The estimated
fair values of these financial instruments as of December 31, 1999, and similar
financial instruments as of December 31, 1998, were favorable by less than $1
million.

    At December 31, 1999, outstanding fixed to floating interest rate swaps for
$102 million notional principal amount had estimated fair values which were
unfavorable by approximately $4 million. These swaps expire as follows:
$29 million in 2003; and $73 million in 2004. At December 31, 1998, similar
financial instruments for $565 million had estimated fair values which were
favorable by approximately $11 million.

    Estimated fair values for all interest rate financial instruments were based
on calculations by independent third parties.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

    At December 31, 1999 and 1998, Nabisco had outstanding forward foreign
exchange contracts with banks to purchase and sell an aggregate amount of
$5 million and $21 million, respectively. Such contracts were primarily entered
into to hedge certain international subsidiary debt. The purpose of Nabisco's
foreign currency hedging activities is to protect Nabisco from risk that the
eventual U.S. dollar cash flows resulting from transactions with international
parties will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. Based on
calculations from independent third parties, the estimated fair value of these
financial instruments as of December 31, 1999 was favorable by less than
$1 million and as of December 31, 1998 was unfavorable by approximately
$1 million.

MARKET AND CREDIT RISK

    The outstanding interest rate and foreign currency financial instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk as a result of potential
changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. To the extent that the
financial instruments entered into remain outstanding as effective hedges of
existing interest rate and foreign currency exposure, the impact of such
potential changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates on the
financial instruments entered into would offset the related impact on the items
being hedged. Also, Nabisco may be exposed to credit losses in the event of
non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments. However,
management continually monitors its positions and the credit rating of its
counterparties and therefore, does not anticipate any non-performance.

    There are no significant concentrations of credit risk with any individual
counterparties or groups of counterparties as a result of any financial
instruments entered into including those financial instruments discussed above.

NOTE 16--RETIREMENT BENEFITS

    Nabisco and its subsidiaries sponsor a number of non-contributory and
contributory defined benefit pension plans covering most U.S. and certain
foreign employees and former employees of Nabisco, Nabisco Holdings and NGH.
Additionally, Nabisco and its subsidiaries participate in several (i) multi-
employer plans, which provide benefits to certain union employees, and
(ii) defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to certain employees in
foreign countries. Nabisco also provides certain other postretirement health and
life insurance benefits for retired employees of Nabisco, Nabisco Holdings and
NGH and their dependents.

    In connection with the reorganization transactions described in Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements, the assets and liabilities of the
Retirement Plan for Employees of RJR Nabisco, Inc. (the "old plan") were split
into two plans. One plan covers employees and former employees of Nabisco,
Nabisco Holdings and NGH (the "Nabisco Plan") and the other plan covers
employees and former employees of RJR.

    The split of assets and liabilities of the old plan was in accordance with a
May 1999 agreement between the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") and
RJR Nabisco Holdings Corp. (now known as NGH). Based on this agreement and as
required by Section 414(l) of the Internal Revenue Code, the assets of the old
plan were allocated in proportion to the benefit obligations of each of the
respective plans. The use of this methodology resulted in a lower actual net
transfer of assets to the Nabisco Plan of $69 million and assumption of higher
actual benefit obligations of $30 million than the allocated amounts used in the
December 31, 1998 consolidated financial statements. These amounts have been
reflected as transfers between other members of a controlled group in the
following disclosures. The impact of this change, an increase in the unfunded
pension liability of $99 million, will be recognized in net periodic benefit
costs over future periods. As a result, the 1999 net periodic benefit cost for
Nabisco increased by approximately $7 million. The PBGC agreement did not
require Nabisco to make additional contributions to the Nabisco Plan.

NOTE 17--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The authorized capital stock of NGH consists of (a) 440,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of which 329,524,147 shares were issued
as of December 31, 1999, and (b) 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.01 per share, of which no shares have been issued.

    NGH redeemed 12,044 shares of its Series B preferred stock on October 13,
1998, resulting in the redemption of 12,043,940 shares of its Series B
depositary shares at $25 per Series B depositary share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends. Each share of Series B preferred stock paid cash dividends of
$2,312.50 per share per annum until the shares were redeemed.

    NGH and its subsidiaries sponsored a defined contribution plan in which
matching contributions to eligible employees were made in the form of ESOP
preferred stock. Every five shares of ESOP preferred stock was generally
convertible into one share of common stock of NGH, and was entitled to
cumulative dividends at 7.8125% of stated value per annum at least until
April 10, 1999, payable semi-annually in arrears. NGH matched $.50 for every
pre-tax dollar contributed by each eligible employee, up to a maximum of 6% of
the employee's pay. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, approximately $39 million, $28
million and $32 million, respectively, was contributed to the ESOP by NGH and
approximately $8 million, $17 million and $18 million, respectively, of ESOP
dividends were used to service the ESOP's debt to NGH that was incurred in
connection with the initial formation of the ESOP. On June 10, 1999, NGH
completed the redemption of all its outstanding ESOP preferred stock at $16.25
per share, plus accrued dividends, at a total cost of approximately $200
million.

STOCK PLANS

    NGH's 1989 stock plan provides for grants of options to purchase common
stock of NGH to non-employee directors, directors and key employees. A maximum
of 6 million shares may be issued under this plan. The options granted under the
plan generally vest over three years, are separately exercisable for primarily
ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at a price that is
generally the fair market value of the stock at the grant date.

    NGH's 1990 long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") provides for grants of
incentive stock options, other stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, purchase stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance units,
performance shares and other stock-based grants to key employees. A maximum of
33 million shares of common stock of NGH may be issued under the LTIP. The
options granted under the plan generally vest over three years, are exercisable
for 10-15 years from date of grant, and are exercisable at a price that is
generally the fair market value of the stock at the grant date. As of
December 31, 1999, purchase stock, stock options other than incentive stock
options, restricted stock and other stock-based grants have been granted under
the LTIP.

through its own direct store delivery system. The U.S. Foods Group represents
other food operations in the United States and manufactures and markets sauces
and condiments, pet snacks, hot cereals, dry mix desserts, gelatins,
non-chocolate candy, gum, nuts and salty snacks. It sells to major grocery

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 20--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

JOINT VENTURE

    On December 14, 1999, Nabisco announced its participation in a joint
venture, Burlington Biscuits plc ("Burlington"), with Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst
Limited ("HMTF"), an investment firm, to bid for 100% of United Biscuits
(Holdings) Plc ("UB"). Subsequently, Burlington acquired 29.9% of UB. As
announced on March 20, 2000, Nabisco and HMTF have entered into definitive
agreements under which: (i) Nabisco and HMTF will join a consortium of
investors, Finalrealm Limited ("Finalrealm"), also bidding for UB; (ii) an
associate of Finalrealm will acquire Burlington's 29.9% interest in UB, giving
Finalrealm a 47.6% interest in UB; (iii) Finalrealm's cash offer of 265 pence
per UB share becomes a Final Offer under the City Code and is extended until
April 5, 2000; (iv) subject to Finalrealm being entitled to exercise compulsory
acquisition rights in respect of minority interests in UB and regulatory
competition clearance, Nabisco will contribute approximately $45 million in cash
and its operations in Spain, Portugal, and the Middle East (in 1999, these
operations had net sales of approximately $290 million) to an associate of
Finalrealm; (v) Finalrealm has agreed to procure the sale to Nabisco of UB's
operations in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan conditional on the Final Offer
becoming or being declared wholly unconditional (in 1999, these operations had
net sales of approximately $66 million); and (vi) following completion of the
Final Offer and its related transactions, Nabisco would have an equity interest
of 24.6% in the joint venture.

    Upon completion, the joint venture will be comprised of UB businesses in the
United Kingdom, France and the Benelux countries, Nabisco's operations named
above and HMTF's UK Horizon Biscuits business.

STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

    On March 13, 2000, the Board of Directors ("Board") of NGH adopted a
stockholder rights plan. Under the plan, the Board declared a dividend of one
preferred stock purchase right ("Right") for each share of NGH common stock
outstanding on March 20, 2000, and authorized the distribution of one Right for
each subsequently issued common share. Each Right entitles the holder to
purchase from NGH one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of preferred
stock at an initial purchase price of $30. The Board authorized the issuance of
4,400,000 preferred shares under this plan, none of which has been issued. The
Rights will become exercisable at a specified period of time after any person
becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock of NGH or
commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in any
person becoming the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock. If any
person becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the common stock, each
Right will entitle the holder, other than the acquiring person, to purchase, for
$30, a number of shares of NGH common stock having a market value of $60. For
persons who as of March 13, 2000 beneficially owned 10% or more of the common
stock, the plan "grandfathers" their current level of ownership, so long as they
do not purchase additional shares. Unless earlier redeemed, the Rights will
expire on March 13, 2002.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

    See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements regarding the sale by
NGH and RJR of the international tobacco business and the separation of the
domestic tobacco and food businesses.

NOTE B--JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for information
regarding the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures.

    NGH's obligations under the junior subordinated debentures are unsecured and
subordinate to all senior indebtedness of NGH, but junior to all future stock
issuances and stock guarantees. As of December 31, 1999, Nabisco Group Holdings
had no senior indebtedness. Nabisco Group Holdings guarantees all distributions
made by its subsidiary trusts, subordinate to any distributions to any senior
debenture holders and junior subordinated debenture holders.

    Interest on the junior subordinated debentures is payable quarterly in
arrears. The junior subordinated debentures may be redeemed by NGH on or after
September 30, 2003 and mature in September 2047. Covenants applicable to the
junior subordinated debentures limit NGH ability to enter into certain capital
stock transactions, among other things, if NGH is in default of any payments or
guarantees with respect to the junior subordinated debentures.

NOTES C--CONTINGENCIES
