Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

      The condensed consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 include the accounts of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, Inc., referred to as RJR, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2004, RJR’s wholly owned subsidiaries included its operating subsidiaries, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, referred to as RJR Tobacco, and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., referred to as Santa Fe.

      The equity method is used to account for investments in businesses that RJR does not control, but has the ability to significantly influence operating and financial policies. The cost method is used to account for investments in which RJR does not have the ability to significantly influence operating and financial policies. RJR has no investments in entities greater than 20% for which it accounts by the cost method, and has no investments in entities greater than 50% for which it accounts by the equity method. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated.

      The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For interim reporting purposes, certain costs and expenses are charged to operations in proportion to the estimated total annual amount expected to be incurred primarily based on sales volumes. The results for the interim periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, which appear in RJR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. For comparability, certain reclassifications were made to conform prior periods to the current presentation format.

      All dollar amounts are presented in millions unless otherwise noted.

Goodwill

      The change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the six months ended June 30, 2004, was as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

      Effective January 1, 2003, RJR adopted the prospective method of transition of Statement Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123.” All of RJR’s compensation costs related to employee stock plans that were granted prior to January 1, 2003, will continue to be recognized using the intrinsic value-based method under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. However, any compensation costs related to grants or modifications of existing grants subsequent to January 1, 2003, will be recognized under the fair value
