PART I

ITEM 1 -- BUSINESS

GENERAL

UST Inc. was formed on December 23, 1986 as a Delaware corporation.
Pursuant to a reorganization approved by stockholders at the 1987 Annual
Meeting, United States Tobacco Company (originally incorporated in 1911) became
a wholly owned subsidiary of UST Inc. on May 5, 1987. UST Inc., through its
subsidiaries (collectively "Registrant" unless the context otherwise requires),
is engaged in manufacturing, importing and selling consumer products in the
following industry segments:

Tobacco Products: Registrant's primary activities are manufacturing
and selling smokeless tobacco (snuff and chewing tobacco) and importing and
selling other tobacco products.

Wine: Registrant produces and sells wine.

Other: Registrant produces or imports and sells certain other products
such as smokers' accessories and operates certain commercial agricultural
properties. The international and video entertainment operations as well as
certain miscellaneous businesses are included in this segment.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT DATA

Registrant hereby incorporates by reference the Consolidated Industry
Segment Data pertaining to the years 1991 through 1993 set forth on page 28 of
its Annual Report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993
("Annual Report"), which page is included as Exhibit 13.1.

TOBACCO PRODUCTS

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS

Registrant's principal smokeless tobacco products and brand names are as
follows:

Moist -- COPENHAGEN, SKOAL LONG CUT, SKOAL, SKOAL BANDITS

Dry -- BRUTON, CC, RED SEAL

Chewing -- WB CUT

It has been claimed that the use of tobacco products may be harmful to
health. To the best of Registrant's knowledge, unresolved controversy continues
to exist among scientists concerning the claims made about tobacco and health.
In 1986, federal legislation was enacted regulating smokeless tobacco products
by, inter alia, requiring health warning notices on smokeless tobacco packages
and advertising and prohibiting the advertising of smokeless tobacco products on
electronic media. A federal excise tax was imposed in 1986, which was increased
in 1991 and 1993. The Health Security Act announced by the Clinton
Administration in 1993 seeks, inter alia, a significant federal excise tax
increase on moist smokeless and other tobacco products. Also, in recent years,
proposals have been made at the federal level for additional regulation of
tobacco products including, inter alia, the requirement of additional warning
notices, the disallowance of advertising and promotion expenses as deductions
under federal tax law, a significant increase of federal excise taxes, a ban or
further restriction of all advertising and promotion, regulation of
environmental tobacco smoke and increased regulation by new or existing federal
agencies. Substantially similar proposals will likely be considered in 1994. In
1993, various state and local governments continued the regulation of tobacco
products, including, inter alia, the imposition of significantly higher taxes,
sampling and advertising bans or restrictions, regulation of environmental
tobacco smoke, negative advertising campaigns and packaging regulations.
Additional state and local legislative and regulatory actions will likely be
considered in 1994. Registrant is unable to assess the future effects these
various actions may have on the sale of its tobacco products.

RAW MATERIALS

Except as noted below, raw materials essential to Registrant's business are
generally purchased in domestic markets under competitive conditions.

In 1993, Registrant increased its purchases of dark fired, burley and dark
air cured tobaccos ("tobacco") primarily from domestic sources. Although there
was a slight increase in foreign purchases in 1993, purchases from foreign
suppliers, as a percentage of total tobacco purchased, declined. Such foreign
suppliers were located in Canada, Italy and Mexico. Various factors, including a
failure of domestic tobacco production to continue to increase, may require
Registrant to purchase additional amounts of tobacco from foreign sources in
order to meet future requirements. Tobaccos used in the manufacture of smokeless
tobacco products must be processed and aged by Registrant for a period of two to
three years prior to their use.

Registrant or its suppliers purchase certain flavoring components used in
Registrant's tobacco products from European sources.

At the present time, Registrant has no reason to believe that its future
raw material requirements for its tobacco products will not be satisfied.
However, the continuing availability and the cost of tobacco from both domestic
and foreign sources is dependent upon a variety of factors which cannot be
predicted, including weather, growing conditions, disease, local planting
decisions, overall market demands and other factors.

LICENSE AND DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

Registrant is a party to license and distribution arrangements that relate
to imported pipe tobacco and imported cigarette products, which have been
entered into in the ordinary course of Registrant's business, none of which is
material to the Tobacco segment.

2
4

WORKING CAPITAL

The principal portion of Registrant's operating cash requirements relates
to its need to maintain significant inventories of leaf tobacco, primarily for
manufacturing of smokeless tobacco products, and its need to age and cure
certain of these tobaccos for periods of up to three years prior to use.

CUSTOMERS

Registrant sells tobacco products throughout the United States principally
to chain stores and tobacco and grocery wholesalers. Approximately 25% of
Registrant's gross sales of tobacco products are made to five customers, one of
which accounts for more than 10% of such sales. Registrant has maintained
satisfactory relationships with these customers for many years.

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS

The tobacco manufacturing industry in the United States is composed of at
least five domestic companies larger than Registrant and many smaller ones. The
larger companies concentrate on the manufacture and sale of cigarettes; one also
manufactures and sells smokeless tobacco products. Registrant is a well
established and major factor in the smokeless tobacco sector of the overall
tobacco market. Consequently, Registrant competes actively with both larger and
smaller companies in the sale of its tobacco products. Registrant's principal
methods of competition with its tobacco products include quality, advertising,
promotion, sampling, price, product recognition and distribution.

WINE

Registrant is an established producer of premium varietal and blended
wines. CHATEAU STE. MICHELLE and COLUMBIA CREST varietal table wines and DOMAINE
STE. MICHELLE sparkling wine are produced by Registrant in the state of
Washington and sold throughout the United States. Registrant also produces and
sells two California premium wines under the labels of VILLA MT. EDEN and CONN
CREEK. Approximately 48% of Registrant's wine sales are made to ten
distributors, no one of which accounts for more than 20% of total wine sales.
Substantially all wines are sold through state-licensed distributors with whom
Registrant maintains satisfactory relationships.

It has been claimed that the use of alcohol beverages may be harmful to
health. To the best of Registrant's knowledge, unresolved controversy continues
to exist among scientists concerning the claims made about alcohol beverages and
health. In 1988, federal legislation was enacted regulating alcohol beverages by
requiring health warning notices on alcohol beverages. Effective in 1991, the
federal excise tax on wine was increased from $.17 a gallon to $1.07 a gallon
for those manufacturers that produce more than 250,000 gallons a year, such as
Registrant. In recent years at the federal level, proposals were made for
additional regulation of alcohol beverages including, inter alia, an excise tax
increase, modification of the required health warning notices and the regulation
of labeling, advertising and packaging. Substantially similar proposals will
likely be considered in 1994. Also in recent years, increased regulation of
alcohol beverages by various states included, inter alia, the imposition of
higher taxes, the requirement of health warning notices and the regulation of
advertising and packaging. Additional state and local legislative and regulatory
actions affecting the marketing of alcohol beverages will likely be considered
during 1994. Registrant is unable to assess the future effects these regulatory
and other actions may have on the sale of its wines.

Registrant uses grapes harvested from its own vineyards, as well as grapes
purchased from independent growers located primarily in Washington State. Total
grape harvest yields experienced by Registrant and throughout Washington State
in 1993 were significantly higher than the prior year and continue to be
adequate to meet requirements for premium varietal wines. From time to time
adverse weather conditions have significantly affected grape harvests from
Washington State. Should any vineyards be destroyed as a result of such
conditions, new vineyards generally require five to six years to provide full
yields. At the present time, Registrant has no reason to believe that its future
raw material requirements for its wine products will not be satisfied.

3
5

Registrant's principal competition comes from many larger, well established
national companies, as well as smaller wine producers. Registrant's principal
methods of competition include quality, price, consumer and trade wine tastings,
competitive wine judging and advertising. Registrant is a minor factor in the
total nationwide business of producing wines.

Registrant concentrates its sales efforts on premium varietal table wines
and sparkling wines. The future of Registrant's wine business will be dependent
on sales, price and volume growth for premium varietal wines, the success of new
products and adequate grape harvest yields from Washington State.

OTHER

Included in this segment for 1993 were cigarette papers, pipes, smokers'
accessories, the international operation, video entertainment, agricultural
properties and a majority interest in a company that develops and markets
equipment used in filmmaking. None of the above, singly, constitutes a material
portion of Registrant's operations. Registrant sold its distribution rights to
cigarette papers and related products on March 31, 1993.

ADDITIONAL BUSINESS INFORMATION

CUSTOMERS

In 1993 sales to McLane Co. Inc., a national distributor, exceeded 10% of
Registrant's consolidated revenue.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

Registrant does not believe that compliance with federal, state and local
provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or
otherwise relating to the protection of the environment will have a material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of
Registrant.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

Registrant's average number of employees during 1993 was 3,724.

TRADEMARKS

Registrant sells consumer products under a large number of trademarks. All
of the more important trademarks either have been registered or applications
therefor are pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

SEASONAL BUSINESS

No material portion of the business of any industry segment of Registrant
is seasonal.

ORDERS

Backlog of orders is not a material factor in any industry segment of
Registrant.

Such principal properties in Registrant's industry segments were utilized
only in connection with Registrant's business operations. Registrant believes
that the above properties at December 31, 1993 were suitable and adequate for
the purposes for which they were used, and were operated at satisfactory levels
of capacity. Registrant is producing moist smokeless tobacco products at both
its Franklin Park and Nashville plants where the combined installed capacity was
planned to meet larger future demand for these products. While current capacity
exceeds current sales, utilization would increase if market demand increases.

All principal properties are owned in fee by Registrant.

ITEM 3 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Registrant was named in an amended complaint filed on January 17, 1992, in
an action against the major cigarette companies and others entitled Norma R.
Broin, et al. v. Philip Morris Companies, Inc. et al. (Case No.: 91-49738 CA
(22), Circuit Court, 11th Judicial Circuit, Dade County, Florida) seeking five
billion dollars in punitive damages and unspecified compensatory damages. The
action purportedly is brought on behalf of flight attendants who have allegedly
sustained physical, psychological and emotional injuries as a result of exposure
to environmental tobacco smoke on airplanes. On May 19, 1992, the Court
dismissed the class action allegations in plaintiffs' amended complaint.
Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the Court's dismissal on June 17, 1992
and this appeal has not been decided.

Registrant has had only limited involvement with cigarettes. Prior to 1985,
Registrant manufactured some cigarette products which had a de minimis market
share, and Registrant is indemnified for the small volume of imported cigarettes
which it currently distributes.

Registrant believes that the action is without merit, intends to defend it
vigorously and does not believe it will result in any material liability to
Registrant.
