Financial Statement Presentation

We have prepared our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001 (“2001 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to our Financial Statements included in the 2001 Form 10-K.

On May 16, 2002, Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. changed its name to YUM! Brands, Inc. in order to better reflect our expanding portfolio of brands. In addition, on the same day Tricon Restaurants International changed its name to YUM! Restaurants International.

Our Financial Statements include YUM! Brands, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM” or the “Company”). The Financial Statements include our worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and, since May 7, 2002, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”), which were added when we acquired Yorkshire Global Restaurants, Inc. (“YGR”). References to YUM throughout these notes to our Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.”

Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2001 Form 10-K, our financial position as of September 7, 2002, and the results of our operations for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001 and cash flows for the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001. Our results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We have reclassified certain items in the accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements in order to be comparable with the current classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

Acquisition of YGR

On May 7, 2002, YUM completed its acquisition of YGR. As of the date of the acquisition, YGR consisted of 742 and 496 company and franchise LJS units, respectively, and 127 and 742 company and franchise A&W units, respectively. In addition, 133 multibranded LJS/A&W restaurants were included in the LJS unit totals. This acquisition was made to facilitate meeting our strategic objective of achieving growth through multi-branding, where two or more of our Concepts are operated in a single restaurant unit.

We paid approximately $275 million in cash and assumed approximately $48 million of bank indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of YGR. The bank indebtedness was paid off prior to the end of the second quarter of 2002. We also assumed approximately $168 million in present value of future rent obligations related to sale-leaseback agreements entered into by YGR prior to 2001 involving approximately 350 LJS units. As a result of liens held by the buyer/lessor on certain personal property within the units, the sale-leaseback agreements have been accounted for as financings and are reflected as debt in our Financial Statements and the related assets remain on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This obligation plus approximately $11 million of capital lease obligations assumed have been reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 7, 2002 as Short-term borrowings ($2 million) and Long-term debt ($177 million).

We have retained a third party valuation expert to assist us in the valuation of assets acquired. We anticipate completion of this valuation and a preliminary purchase price allocation prior to December 28, 2002, the end of our fiscal year. As of September 7, 2002, approximately $523 million of purchase price to be allocated is included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Purchase price to be allocated includes the cash paid and liabilities assumed as described in the previous paragraph, as well as a working capital deficit of $21 million assumed upon acquisition. We have estimated the effects of the allocation on earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002. We do not believe that completion of the allocation will result in material differences from the estimates included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

If the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the periods indicated below, pro forma company sales, and franchise and license fees for the 12 weeks ended September 8, 2001, and for the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001 would have been as follows:

	12 Weeks Ended	36 Weeks Ended
	9/08/01	9/07/02	9/08/01
Company sales	$1,574	$4,911	$4,574
Franchise and license fees	197	603	576

The estimated impact of the acquisition on net income and diluted earnings per share for these periods would not have been material.

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of each of these periods nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations and modifies the application of the purchase accounting method. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 141, the Company’s business combinations primarily consisted of acquiring restaurants from our franchisees and have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The primary intangible asset to which we generally allocated value in these business combinations was reacquired franchise rights. We have determined that reacquired franchise rights do not meet the criteria of SFAS 141 to be recognized as an asset apart from goodwill. Accordingly, on December 30, 2001 we reclassified reacquired franchise rights to goodwill in the amount of $241 million, net of related deferred tax liabilities of $53 million.

The Company has also adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 eliminates the requirement to amortize goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, addresses the amortization of intangible assets with a defined life, and addresses impairment testing and recognition for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. SFAS 142 applies to goodwill and intangible assets arising from transactions completed before and after its effective date. As a result of adopting SFAS 142, we ceased amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets beginning December 30, 2001. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 142, we completed separate transitional impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, as of December 30, 2001, which indicated that there was no impairment.

The following table provides a reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income as though SFAS 142 had been effective for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001:

	12 Weeks Ended 9/08/01
	Amount	Basic EPS	Diluted EPS
Reported net income	$124	$0.42	$0.40
Add back amortization expense (net of tax):
Goodwill	6	0.02	0.02

Adjusted net income	$130	$0.44	$0.42

	36 Weeks Ended 9/08/01
	Amount	Basic EPS	Diluted EPS
Reported net income	$328	$1.11	$1.08
Add back amortization expense (net of tax):
Goodwill	17	0.06	0.06

Adjusted net income	$345	$1.17	$1.14

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill on a quarter-to-date and year-to-date basis in 2002 are as follows:

	United States		International	Worldwide
Balance as of June 15, 2002	$ 169		$129	$298
Acquisitions, disposals and other, net	(2	)	5	3

Balance as of September 7, 2002(b)	$ 167		$134	$301

	United States	International	Worldwide
Balance as of December 29, 2001	$ 21	$ 38	$ 59
Reclassification of reacquired franchise rights(a)	145	96	241
Acquisitions, disposals and other, net	1	-	1

Balance as of September 7, 2002(b)	$167	$134	$301

(a)

Amounts reported net of deferred tax liabilities of $27 million for the U.S. and $26 million for International.

(b)

Balances do not include any goodwill that will be recorded upon the completion of the YGR purchase price allocation.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets as of September 7, 2002 totaled $31 million and consisted of acquired trademarks. Amortizable intangible assets at September 7, 2002 totaled $73 million, net of accumulated amortization of $76 million, and consisted primarily of franchise contract rights. Amortization expense for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 was approximately $1 million and $3 million, respectively. On an

annual basis, amortization expense will approximate $4 million for each of the next five years. This amount excludes amortization of any intangibles that might be established in connection with the acquisition of YGR.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Effective December 30, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”). SFAS 144 retained many of the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of” (“SFAS 121”), but resolved certain implementation issues associated with that Statement. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

SFAS 144 also requires the results of operations of a component entity that is classified as held for sale or has been disposed of be reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income if certain conditions are met. These conditions include elimination of the operations and cash flows of the component entity from the ongoing operations of the Company and no significant continuing involvement by the Company in the operations of the component entity after the disposal transaction. The results of operations of stores meeting both these conditions that were disposed of in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 or classified as held for sale at September 7, 2002 were not material for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 or September 8, 2001.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”), which will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal year 2003. SFAS 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. We have not yet determined the impact of adopting SFAS 143 on the Company’s Financial Statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”). This statement addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” Costs addressed by SFAS 146 include costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, costs of involuntary employee termination benefits pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement, costs to consolidate facilities, and costs to relocate employees. This statement will be effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 146 to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Two-for-One Common Stock Split

On May 7, 2002, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend and entitled each shareholder of record at the close of business on June 6, 2002 to receive one share for every outstanding share of Common Stock held on the record date. The stock dividend was distributed on June 17, 2002, with approximately 149 million shares of common stock distributed. All per share and share amounts in the accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”)

	12 Weeks Ended				36 Weeks Ended
	9/07/02		9/08/01		9/07/02		9/08/01
Net income	$ 147		$ 124		$ 411		$ 328

Shares applicable to diluted earnings	312		306		312		304

Diluted EPS	$ 0.47		$ 0.40		$ 1.32		$ 1.08

Unexercised employee stock options to purchase approximately 1 million shares of our Common Stock for both the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our Common Stock during the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002.

Unexercised employee stock options to purchase approximately 6.3 million and 7.0 million shares of our Common Stock for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price for our Common Stock during the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001.

During the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002, we granted employee stock options to purchase approximately 6.5 million shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the average market price on the date of grant. The weighted-average exercise price of these options was approximately $25 per share.

Comprehensive income was as follows:

	12 Weeks Ended			36 Weeks Ended

Items Affecting Comparability of Net Income

Facility Actions Net Loss (Gain)

Facility actions net loss (gain) consists of the following three components:

Refranchising net (gains) losses;
Store closure costs; and
Impairment of long-lived assets for stores we intend to continue to use in the business and stores we intend to close.

The following table summarizes the impact of facility actions net loss (gain):

(a)

Includes initial franchise fees of $4 million and $3 million for the 12 weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001, respectively, and $5 million and $6 million for the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001, respectively.

(b)

Store impairment charges for the International segment for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 primarily includes the impairment of our Pizza Hut Germany market which we anticipate refranchising. Pizza Hut Germany does not yet meet the SFAS 144 criteria to be held for sale.

The following table summarizes the carrying values of the major classes of assets held for sale at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001. The carrying values of liabilities held for sale at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001 were not significant. Carrying values at September 7, 2002 primarily represent land on which we previously operated restaurants. The carrying values in International at December 29, 2001 principally include our Singapore business, which we sold during the third quarter at a price approximately equal to its carrying value.

The following table summarizes Company sales and restaurant profit related to stores held for sale at September 7, 2002 or disposed of through refranchising or closure during 2002 and 2001. As discussed in Note 3, the operations of such stores classified as held for sale as of September 7, 2002 or disposed of in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002 which meet the conditions of SFAS 144 for reporting as discontinued operations were not material. Restaurant profit represents Company sales less the cost of food and paper, payroll and employee benefits and occupancy and other operating expenses.

Unusual Items

Unusual items income of $4 million and $24 million in the third quarter and year-to-date of 2002, respectively, primarily resulted from recoveries related to the AmeriServe Food Distribution Inc. (“AmeriServe”) bankruptcy reorganization process partially offset by costs to defend certain wage and hour litigation, and integration costs related to the acquisition of YGR.

Debt

On June 25, 2002, we closed on a new $1.4 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “New Credit Facility”). The New Credit Facility replaced the existing bank credit agreement which was comprised of a senior unsecured Term Loan Facility and a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (collectively referred to as the “Old Credit Facilities”) that were scheduled to mature on October 2, 2002. The

New Credit Facility matures on June 25, 2005. We used the initial borrowings under the New Credit Facility to repay the indebtedness under the Old Credit Facilities.

The New Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries and contains other terms and provisions (including representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and events of default) similar to those set forth in the Old Credit Facilities. Specifically, the New Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The New Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, cash dividends, aggregate non-U.S. investment and certain other transactions as defined in the agreement.

At September 7, 2002, our unused New Credit Facility totaled $1.0 billion, net of outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 billion. The interest rate for borrowings under the New Credit Facility ranges from 1.00% to 2.00% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 0.00% to 0.65% over an Alternate Base Rate, which is the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1%. The exact spread over LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate, as applicable, will depend upon our performance under specified financial criteria. At September 7, 2002, the weighted average contractual interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the New Credit Facility was 2.9%. Interest is payable at least quarterly.

During the third quarter, we capitalized debt issuance costs of approximately $9 million related to the New Credit Facility. These costs will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the New Credit Facility.

On June 25, 2002, we also issued $400 million of 7.70% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 1, 2012 (the “Notes”) under a shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is more fully discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to repay indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. Interest is payable January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2003. We capitalized debt issuance costs of approximately $5 million related to the Notes during the quarter.

As discussed in Note 2, upon the acquisition of YGR, we assumed approximately $168 million in present value of future rent obligations related to certain sale-leaseback agreements entered into by YGR prior to 2001 involving approximately 350 LJS units. As a result of liens held by the buyer/lessor on certain personal property within the units, the sale-leaseback agreements have been accounted for as financings and are reflected as debt in our Financial Statements as of September 7, 2002. Rental payments made under these agreements will be made on a monthly basis through 2019 with an effective interest rate of approximately 11%.

The annual maturities of long-term debt as of September 7, 2002, excluding capital lease obligations of $85 million and derivative instrument adjustments of $45 million, are as follows:

Period ended September 7:
2003		$ 2
2004		3
2005		526
2006		204
2007		4
Thereafter		1,456

Total		$2,195

Interest expense on short-term borrowings and long-term debt was $48 million and $118 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002, respectively, and $39 million and $123 million for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. This program authorizes us to repurchase, through February 14, 2003, up to $300 million (excluding applicable transaction fees) of our outstanding Common Stock. During the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002, we repurchased approximately 5.3 million shares for approximately $161 million at an average price per share of approximately $30. During the 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001, we repurchased approximately 4.7 million shares for approximately $98 million at an average share price of approximately $21. At September 7, 2002, approximately $39 million remained available for repurchases under this program. Based on market conditions and other factors, additional repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Liabilities

We were directly or indirectly contingently liable in the amounts of $354 million and $353 million at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001, respectively, for certain lease assignments and guarantees. At September 7, 2002, $281 million represented contingent liabilities to lessors arising from (a) assigning our interest in and obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants; (b) contributing certain Company restaurants to unconsolidated affiliates; and (c) guaranteeing certain other leases. The $281 million represented the present value of the minimum payments pursuant to the assigned leases, excluding any renewal option periods, discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt. On a nominal basis, the contingent liability resulting from the assigned leases is $399 million.

The contingent liabilities also include guarantees of approximately $32.4 million to support financial arrangements of certain franchisees, including partial guarantees of franchisee loan pools related primarily to the Company’s refranchising programs. The total loans outstanding under these loan pools were approximately $161 million at September 7, 2002. In support of these guarantees, we have posted $32.4 million of letters of credit. We also provide a standby letter of credit under which we could potentially be required to fund a portion (up to $25 million) of one of the franchisee loan pools. Any funding under the guarantees or letters of credit would be secured by franchisee loan collateral. We believe that we have appropriately provided for our estimated probable exposures under these contingent liabilities. These provisions were primarily charged to refranchising (gains) losses.

The remaining contingent liabilities of $40 million represent the outstanding balance of financial arrangements of certain unconsolidated affiliates and third parties for which we have provided guarantees. These financial arrangements primarily include lines of credit, loans and letters of credit. If all such lines of credit and letters of credit were fully drawn down, the maximum contingent liability under these arrangements would be approximately $47 million as of September 7, 2002.

Insurance Programs

We are currently self-insured for a portion of our current and prior years’ workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability losses (collectively, “casualty losses”) as well as property losses and certain other insurable risks. To mitigate the cost of our exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we make annual decisions to either retain the risks of loss up to certain maximum per occurrence or aggregate loss limits negotiated with our insurance carriers, or to fully insure those risks. Since our October 6, 1997 spin-off from PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) (the “Spin-off”), we have elected to retain the risks subject to certain insured limitations. Since August 1999, we have bundled our risks for casualty losses, property losses and various other insurable risks into one pool with a single self-insured retention and purchased reinsurance coverage up to a specified limit that is significantly above our actuarially determined probable losses. We are self-insured for losses in excess of the reinsurance limit. We believe the likelihood of losses exceeding the reinsurance limit is remote. We are also self-insured for healthcare claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for our retained liabilities for property and casualty losses and healthcare claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by independent actuaries.

Due to the inherent volatility of our actuarially determined property and casualty loss estimates, it is reasonably possible that we could experience changes in estimated losses which could be material to our growth in quarterly and annual net income. We believe that we have recorded our reserves for property and casualty losses at a level which has substantially mitigated the potential negative impact of adverse developments and/or volatility.

Change of Control Severance Agreements

In September 2000, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved renewing severance agreements with certain key executives (the “Agreements”). These Agreements are triggered by a termination, under certain conditions, of the executive’s employment following a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Agreements. If triggered, the affected executives would generally receive twice the amount of both their annual base salary and their annual incentive in a lump sum, outplacement services and a tax gross-up for any excise taxes. These Agreements have a three-year term and automatically renew each January 1 for another three-year term unless the Company elects not to renew the Agreements. If these Agreements had been triggered as of September 7, 2002, payments of approximately $31 million would have been made. In the event of a change of control, rabbi trusts would be established and used to provide payouts under existing deferred and incentive compensation plans.

Litigation

On August 29, 1997, a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., entitled Bravo, et al. v. Taco Bell Corp. (“Bravo”), was filed in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon of the County of Multnomah. The lawsuit was filed by two former Taco Bell shift managers purporting to represent approximately 17,000 current and former hourly employees statewide. The lawsuit alleges violations of state wage and hour laws, principally involving unpaid wages including overtime, and rest and meal period violations, and seeks an unspecified amount in damages. Under Oregon class action procedures, Taco Bell was allowed an opportunity to “cure” the unpaid wage and hour allegations by opening a claims process to all putative class members prior to certification of the

class. In this cure process, Taco Bell has paid out less than $1 million. On January 26, 1999, the Court certified a class of all current and former shift managers and crew members who claim one or more of the alleged violations. A trial date of November 2, 1999 was set. However, on November 1, 1999, the Court issued a proposed order postponing the trial and establishing a pre-trial claims process. The final order regarding the claims process was entered on January 14, 2000. Taco Bell moved for certification of an immediate appeal of the Court-ordered claims process and requested a stay of the proceedings. This motion was denied on February 8, 2000. Taco Bell appealed this decision to the Supreme Court of Oregon and the Court denied Taco Bell’s Writ of Mandamus on March 21, 2000. A Court-approved notice and claim form was mailed to approximately 14,500 class members on January 31, 2000. The Court ordered pre-trial claims process went forward, and hearings to determine potential damages were held for claimants employed or previously employed in four selected Taco Bell units. After the initial hearings relating to these four units, the damage claims hearings were discontinued. Trial began on January 4, 2001. On March 9, 2001, the jury reached verdicts on the substantive issues in this matter. A number of these verdicts were in favor of the Taco Bell position; however, certain issues were decided in favor of the plaintiffs. In April 2002, a jury trial to determine the damages of 93 of those claimants found that Taco Bell failed to pay for certain meal breaks and/or off-the-clock work for 86 of the 93 claimants. However, the total amount of hours awarded by the jury was substantially less than that sought by the claimants. In July and September 2002, the court ruled on several post-trial motions, including fixing the total number of potential claimants at 1,031 (including the 93 claimants for which damages have already been determined) and holding that claimants who prevail are entitled to prejudgment interest and penalty wages. The court has indicated that it will likely schedule a damages trial for the remaining 938 claimants sometime in 2003. Taco Bell intends to appeal the April 2002 damages verdict, as well as the March 2001 liability verdict.

We have provided for the estimated costs of the Bravo litigation, based on a projection of eligible claims (including claims filed to date, where applicable), the cost of each eligible claim, including the estimated legal fees incurred by plaintiffs, and the results of settlement negotiations in this and other wage and hour litigation matters. Although the outcome of this case cannot be determined at this time, we believe the ultimate cost of this case in excess of the amounts already provided will not be material to our annual results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Any provisions have been recorded as unusual items.

On January 16, 1998, a lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., entitled Wrench LLC, Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks v. Taco Bell Corp. (“Wrench”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The lawsuit alleges that Taco Bell Corp. misappropriated certain ideas and concepts used in its advertising featuring a Chihuahua. Plaintiffs seek to recover monetary damages under several theories, including breach of implied-in-fact contract, idea misappropriation, conversion and unfair competition. On June 10, 1999, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of Taco Bell Corp. Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and oral arguments were held on September 20, 2000. On July 6, 2001, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s judgment in favor of Taco Bell Corp. and remanded the case to the District Court. Taco Bell Corp. unsuccessfully petitioned the Court of Appeals for rehearing en banc, and its petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied on January 21, 2002. The case has now officially been returned to the District Court, where the Wrench plaintiffs will be allowed to bring their claims to trial. The trial is currently scheduled to begin on March 4, 2003.

We believe that the Wrench plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the case. However, in view of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of the case cannot be predicted at this time. Likewise, the amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

Obligations to PepsiCo, Inc. After Spin-off

In connection with the Spin-off, we entered into separation and other related agreements (the “Separation Agreements”) governing the Spin-off transaction and our subsequent relationship with PepsiCo. These agreements provide certain indemnities to PepsiCo.

The Separation Agreements provided for, among other things, our assumption of all liabilities relating to the restaurant businesses, including California Pizza Kitchen, Chevys Mexican Restaurant, D’Angelo’s Sandwich Shops, East Side Mario’s and Hot ’n Now (collectively the “Non-core Businesses”, which were disposed of in 1997), and our indemnification of PepsiCo with respect to these liabilities. These liabilities were not significant as of September 7, 2002.

In addition, we have indemnified PepsiCo for any costs or losses it incurs with respect to all letters of credit, guarantees and contingent liabilities relating to our businesses under which PepsiCo remains liable. As of September 7, 2002, PepsiCo remains liable for approximately $81 million on a nominal basis related to these contingencies. This obligation ends at the time PepsiCo is released, terminated or replaced by a qualified letter of credit. We have not been required to make any payments under this indemnity.

Under the Separation Agreements, PepsiCo maintains full control and absolute discretion with regard to any combined or consolidated tax filings for periods through October 6, 1997. PepsiCo also maintains full control and absolute discretion regarding any common tax audit issues. Although PepsiCo has contractually agreed to, in good faith, use its best efforts to settle all joint interests in any common audit issue on a basis consistent with prior practice, there can be no assurance that determinations made by PepsiCo would be the same as we would reach, acting on our own behalf. Through September 7, 2002, there have not been any determinations made by PepsiCo where we would have reached a different determination.

We also agreed to certain restrictions on our actions to help ensure that the Spin-off maintained its tax-free status. These restrictions, which were generally applicable to the two-year period following October 6, 1997, included among other things, limitations on any liquidation, merger or consolidation with another company, certain issuances and redemptions of our Common Stock, our granting of stock options and our sale, refranchising, distribution or other disposition of assets. If we failed to abide by these restrictions or to obtain waivers from PepsiCo and, as a result, the Spin-off fails to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, we may be obligated to indemnify PepsiCo for any resulting tax liability, which could be substantial. No payments under these indemnities have been required or are expected to be required. Additionally, PepsiCo is entitled to the federal income tax benefits related to the exercise after the Spin-off of vested PepsiCo options held by our employees. We expense the payroll taxes related to the exercise of these options as incurred.

AmeriServe Bankruptcy Reorganization Process

AmeriServe was the principal distributor of food and paper supplies to our stores when it filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on January 31, 2000. A plan of reorganization for AmeriServe (the “POR”) was approved on November 28, 2000, which resulted in, among other things, the assumption of our distribution agreement, subject to certain amendments, by McLane Company, Inc.

During the AmeriServe bankruptcy reorganization process, we took a number of actions to ensure continued supply to our system. Those actions resulted in a cumulative net unusual items expense of $149 million through December 29, 2001, which was principally recorded in the year ended December 30, 2000.

Under the POR we are entitled to the proceeds from certain residual assets and preference claims of the estate which are generally recorded as unusual items income when they are realized. For the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002, we recorded $7 million and $31 million of net recoveries under the POR as unusual items income.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM,” or the “Company”) is comprised of the worldwide operations of A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”), KFC, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”), Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (the “Concepts”). LJS and A&W were added when we acquired Yorkshire Global Restaurants, Inc. (“YGR”) on May 7, 2002. We are the world’s largest quick service restaurant (“QSR”) company based on the number of system units. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”), the Cautionary Statements and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2001 (“2001 Form 10-K”). All Note references herein refer to the accompanying notes to the Financial Statements.

Throughout MD&A, we make reference to ongoing operating profit which represents operating profit excluding the impact of facility actions net loss (gain) and unusual items (income) expense. See Note 8 for a discussion of these exclusions. We use ongoing operating profit as a key performance measure of our results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally and as the base to forecast future performance. Ongoing operating profit is not a measure defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

All references to per share and share amounts in the following MD&A have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one common stock split distributed on June 17, 2002 to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2002.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

See Note 4.

Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Expected to Impact 2002 Comparisons with 2001

The following factors impacted comparability of operating performance for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 7, 2002 to the quarter and year-to-date ended September 8, 2001 or could impact comparisons for the remainder of 2002. Certain of these factors were previously discussed in our 2001 Form 10-K.

Acquisition

On May 7, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of YGR, the parent company of LJS and A&W. See Note 2 for a discussion of the acquisition.

As of the date of the acquisition, YGR consisted of 742 and 496 company and franchise LJS units, respectively, and 127 and 742 company and franchise A&W units, respectively. In addition, 133 multibranded LJS/A&W restaurants were included in the LJS unit totals. We expect the acquisition of YGR to increase full year 2002 worldwide revenues and ongoing operating profit by approximately 5% and 2%, respectively. Except as discussed in certain sections of MD&A, the impact of the acquisition on our results of operations in the quarter and year-to-date was not significant.

Unusual Items

We had unusual items income of $4 million in the third quarter of 2002, and unusual items income of $24 million and $2 million year-to-date for 2002 and 2001, respectively. See Note 8 for a discussion of our unusual items (income) expense.

Store Portfolio Strategy

Since 1995, we have been strategically reducing our share of total system units by selling Company restaurants to existing and new franchisees where their expertise can generally be leveraged to improve our overall operating performance, while retaining Company ownership of key U.S. and International markets. This portfolio-balancing activity reduces our reported revenues and restaurant profits, increasing the importance of system sales as a key performance measure. We substantially completed our U.S. refranchising program in 2001.

The following table summarizes our refranchising activities:

	12 Weeks Ended		36 Weeks Ended
	9/07/02	9/08/01	9/07/02	9/08/01
Number of units refranchised	94	37	141	193
Refranchising proceeds, pre-tax	$43	$11	$ 67	$ 73
Refranchising gains (losses), pre-tax(a)	$ 3	$14	$ 9	$ 49

(a)

Includes $12 million of previously deferred refranchising gains for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2001.

In addition to our refranchising program, we have been closing restaurants over the past several years. Restaurants closed include poor performing restaurants, restaurants that are relocated to a new site within the same trade area or U.S. Pizza Hut delivery units consolidated with a new or existing dine-in traditional store within the same trade area.

The following table summarizes Company store closure activities:

	12 Weeks Ended		36 Weeks Ended
	9/07/02	9/08/01	9/07/02	9/08/01
Number of units closed	58	67	143	168
Store closure costs	$ 4	$ 4	$ 17	$ 10
Impairment charges for stores to be closed	$ 3	$ 1	$ 6	$ 5

The impact on ongoing operating profit arising from refranchising and Company store closures is the net of (a) the estimated reduction in Company sales, restaurant profit and general and administrative expenses and (b) the estimated increase in franchise fees from the stores refranchised. The amounts presented below reflect the estimated impact from stores that were operated by us for all or some portion of the comparable period in 2001 and are no longer operated by us as of September 7, 2002.

The following table summarizes the estimated impact on revenue of refranchising and Company store closures:

	12 Weeks Ended 9/07/02
	U.S.		International		Worldwide
Reduced sales	$(46	)	$(26	)	$(72	)

Franchisee Financial Condition

Like others in the QSR industry, from time to time, some of our franchise operators experience financial difficulties with respect to their franchise operations.

Depending upon the facts and circumstances of each situation, and in the absence of an improvement in the franchisee’s business trends, there are a number of potential resolutions of these financial issues. These include a sale of some or all of the operator’s restaurants to us or a third party, a restructuring of the operator’s business and/or finances, or, in the more unusual cases, bankruptcy of the operator. It is our practice to proactively work with financially troubled franchise operators in an attempt to positively resolve their issues.

Since 2000, certain of our franchise operators, principally in the Taco Bell system have experienced varying degrees of financial problems. Through September 30, 2002, restructurings have been completed for approximately 1,580 Taco Bell franchise restaurants. In connection with these restructurings, Taco Bell has acquired 144 restaurants for approximately $73 million. In addition to these acquisitions, Taco Bell has purchased 47 restaurants from franchisees for approximately $25 million and simultaneously leased the restaurants back to these franchisees under long-term leases. As part of the restructurings, Taco Bell committed

to fund approximately $39 million of future franchise capital expenditures, principally through leasing arrangements, approximately $10 million of which has been spent to date.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, Taco Bell also established a $15 million loan program to assist certain franchisees. All fundings had been advanced by the end of the first quarter of 2001, and the resulting notes receivable are primarily included in Other assets.

We believe that the general improvement in business trends at Taco Bell has helped alleviate financial problems in the Taco Bell franchise system which were due to past downturns in sales. As described in the U.S. revenues section, Company same-store sales growth at Taco Bell has increased 9% during 2002. Company same-store sales growth at Taco Bell also increased 8% in the fourth quarter of 2001. Generally, franchisees have experienced similar growth over these time frames. Accordingly, though we continue to monitor this situation, we expect the cost of restructurings of Taco Bell franchise restaurants to be less in 2002 than in 2001.

The Company charged expenses of $1 million and $3 million in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $3 million and $16 million year-to-date in 2002 and 2001, respectively, to ongoing operating profit related to allowances for doubtful Taco Bell franchise and license fee receivables. These costs are reported as franchise and license expenses. On an ongoing basis, we assess our exposure from franchise-related risks, which include estimated uncollectibility of franchise and license receivables, contingent lease liabilities, guarantees to support third party financial arrangements of franchisees and potential claims by franchisees. The contingent lease liabilities and guarantees are more fully discussed in the Contingent Liabilities section of Note 13. Although the ultimate impact of these franchise financial issues cannot be predicted with certainty at this time, we have provided for our current estimate of the probable exposure as of September 7, 2002. It is reasonably possible that there will be additional costs; however, these costs are not expected to be material to quarterly or annual results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

AmeriServe Bankruptcy Reorganization Process

See Note 14 and our 2001 Form 10-K for a discussion of the impact of the AmeriServe Food Distribution, Inc. (“AmeriServe”) bankruptcy reorganization process on the Company.

Pension Plan Funded Status

Certain of our employees are covered under noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. The most significant of these plans was amended in 2001 such that employees hired after September 30, 2001 are no longer eligible to participate. As disclosed in our 2001 Form 10-K, as of our 2001 measurement date, these plans had a projected benefit obligation of $420 million and a fair value of plan assets of $291 million. As a result of the overall decline in market interest rates, we will use a lower discount rate to measure our projected benefit obligation as of our 2002 measurement date. This will result in an increase to our projected benefit obligation. At the same time, stock market declines have reduced the fair value of our plan assets. As a result of the higher projected benefit obligation, and, to a lesser degree, the decline in the fair value of our plan assets, we expect our pension plan underfunding to increase as of our 2002 measurement date. Though we have not yet determined the exact amount of such underfunding, we currently estimate the amount of underfunding will increase approximately $100 million. We do not believe the underfunded status of the pension plan will materially affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows and have incorporated the estimated future impact into our financial projections and plans. Moreover, given the sensitivity of the projected benefit obligation to changes in discount rates, future increases in market interest rates may significantly reduce our pension plan underfunding.

Additionally, as a result of the underfunded status of the plan, we will likely be required to record a charge to shareholders’ equity. As previously disclosed, as of our 2001 measurement date we had recorded a charge of $38 million to equity. Although we have not yet determined the exact amount of the additional charge we will

record in 2002, we anticipate that it will be less than the increase in the underfunding. By comparison, our shareholders’ equity has increased by more than $400 million during the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002.

In response to recent stock market performance, we lowered our expected return on plan assets from 10.0% to 8.5% for purposes of determining our 2002 pension expense. The impact of this assumption change will increase our 2002 pension expense by approximately $5 million. We have recorded a pro-rata portion of this expense through September 7, 2002.

Worldwide System Sales

System sales represents the combined sales of Company, unconsolidated affiliates, franchise and license restaurants. Sales of unconsolidated affiliates and franchise and license restaurants result in franchise and license fees for us but are not included in the Company sales figure we present on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. However, we believe that system sales is useful to investors as a significant indicator of our Concepts’ market share and the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, company and franchise same store sales as well as net unit development.

Excluding the unfavorable impact of the YGR acquisition, G&A expenses increased 16% in the quarter and 10% year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by higher compensation-related costs. Increased spending on leadership conferences for domestic restaurant general managers and International senior management teams also contributed to the year-to-date increase.

Worldwide Franchise and License Expenses

Franchise and license expenses increased $1 million or 10% in the quarter and decreased $14 million or 30% year-to-date. The year-to-date decrease was primarily attributable to lower provisions for doubtful franchise and license fee receivables and lower franchise support costs, primarily at Taco Bell. In addition, the decrease was also due to lapping a biennial International franchise convention held in 2001.

Worldwide Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense is comprised of equity (income) loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates and foreign exchange net (gain) loss.

Other (income) expense increased $1 million or 27% in the quarter and $5 million or 37% year-to-date. The year-to-date increase included a favorable impact of approximately $2 million from the adoption of SFAS 142.

(a)

Excludes the effects of facility actions net loss (gain) and unusual items (income) expense. See Note 8 for a discussion of these items.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2002, we changed the methodology we use in allocating taxes between facility actions net loss (gain) and ongoing operating profit. We believe that this revised methodology is more appropriate because of the substantial decline in the magnitude of facility actions net loss (gain) relative to ongoing operating profit in 2002. This change only affects intraperiod allocation of income taxes between facility actions net loss (gain) and ongoing operating profit. Accordingly, it has no effect on net income for the quarter and year-to-date and will have no effect on either net income or the allocation of income taxes between ongoing operating profit and facility actions net loss (gain) for the full year. The impact of this change on our ongoing effective tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date was not significant.

The decrease in our ongoing effective tax rate for the quarter was primarily attributable to adjustments related to prior years and recognition of a portion of our excess foreign income tax credits against our future U.S. income tax liability for foreign taxes paid in 2002. The decrease in our year-to-date ongoing effective tax rate was primarily attributable to recognition of a portion of our excess foreign income tax credits against our future U.S. income tax liability for foreign taxes paid in 2002.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $835 million compared to $634 million in 2001. Excluding the impact of the Ameriserve bankruptcy reorganization process, cash provided by operating activities was $806 million versus $527 million in 2001. This increase was primarily driven by higher operating profit.

Net cash used in investing activities was $650 million versus $341 million in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of YGR and higher capital spending in 2002, partially offset by the acquisition of fewer restaurants from franchisees in 2002.

Net cash used in financing activities was $112 million versus $242 million in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower debt repayments and higher proceeds from stock option exercises versus 2001, partially offset by higher stock repurchases in 2002.

The New Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries and contains other terms and provisions (including representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and events of default) similar to those set forth in the Old Credit Facilities. Specifically, the New Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. Likewise, the New Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, cash dividends, aggregate non-U.S. investment and certain other transactions as defined in the agreement.

On June 25, 2002, we also issued $400 million of 7.70% Senior Unsecured Notes due July 1, 2012 (referred to as the “Notes”) under a shelf registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is more fully discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to repay indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. Interest is payable January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2003. We capitalized debt issuance costs of approximately $5 million related to the Notes during the quarter.

As discussed in Note 2, we assumed approximately $168 million in future rent obligations upon the acquisition of YGR related to certain sale-leaseback agreements entered into by YGR prior to 2001 involving approximately 350 LJS units. As a result of liens held by the buyer/lessor on certain personal property within the units, the agreements have been accounted for as financings and are reflected as debt in our Financial Statements as of September 7, 2002. Rental payments made under these agreements will be made on a monthly basis through 2019 with an effective interest rate of approximately 11%.

We use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, to lower interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate risk. See our market risk disclosure for further discussion of our interest rate risk.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Assets increased $0.8 billion, or 18%, to $5.2 billion primarily due to the acquisition of YGR. Unallocated purchase price of approximately $523 million related to this acquisition is recorded in Other Assets at

September 7, 2002. The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from $77 million to $46 million was primarily the result of recoveries related to the AmeriServe bankruptcy reorganization process (see Note 14) and the write-off of receivables previously fully reserved. The decrease in Assets classified as held-for-sale is due to our sale of the Singapore market during the third quarter.

Liabilities increased $0.3 billion, or 8%, to $4.6 billion primarily due to additional financing associated with the acquisition of YGR. As discussed in Note 9, the decrease in short-term borrowings of $558 million is primarily the result of the replacement of our Old Credit Facilities that were to expire in October 2002 with the New Credit Facility that will expire in 2005. The increase in current income taxes payable was primarily the result of a reclassification from other liabilities and deferred credits for taxes that are now expected to be paid within the next twelve months.

Liquidity

Operating in the QSR industry allows us to generate substantial cash flows from the operations of our company stores and from our franchise operations. Franchise operations require us to make a limited investment in operating assets. Typically, our cash flows also include a significant amount of discretionary capital spending. Though a decline in revenues could adversely impact our cash flows from operations, we believe our operating cash flows and our ability to adjust discretionary capital spending and borrow funds will allow us to meet our cash requirements for the remainder of 2002 and beyond.

Significant contractual obligations and payments as of September 7, 2002 due by year include:

	Less than 1 Year	1-3 Years	4-5 Years	Thereafter	Total
Long-term debt(a)	$ 2	$ 529	$208	$1,456	$2,195
Short-term borrowings	126	-	-	-	126

Debt excluding capital leases	128	529	208	1,456	2,321

Contractual obligations	$413	$1,025	$592	$2,603	$4,633

(a)

Excludes a fair value adjustment of $45 million included in debt related to interest rate swaps that hedge the fair value of a portion of our debt.

(b)

These obligations, which are shown on a nominal basis, relate to operating and capital leases for approximately 4,800 restaurants.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to financial market risks associated with interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. In the normal course of business and in accordance with our policies, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, which include the use of derivative financial and commodity instruments to hedge our underlying exposures. Our policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, principally in the United States. We attempt to minimize this risk and lower our overall borrowing costs through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps. These swaps are entered into with financial institutions and have reset dates and critical terms that match those of the underlying debt. Accordingly, any change in market value associated with interest rate swaps is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt. Due to decreased borrowings under our New Credit Facility during the quarter, we do not believe that certain interest payments previously hedged will be made. Accordingly, we terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $150 million during the quarter. An insignificant amount was reclassed from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to Interest Expense as a result of this termination.

At September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in a reduction of $5 million and $4 million, respectively, in annual income before taxes. The estimated reductions are based upon the unhedged portion of our variable rate debt and assume no changes in the volume or composition of debt. In addition, the fair value of our derivative financial instruments at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001 would decrease approximately $8 million and $5 million, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Unsecured Notes at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001 would decrease approximately $96 million and $72 million, respectively. Fair value was determined by discounting the projected cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

International ongoing operating profit constitutes approximately 31% of our year-to-date 2002 ongoing operating profit, excluding unallocated and corporate expenses. In addition, the Company’s net asset exposure (defined as foreign currency assets less foreign currency liabilities) totaled approximately $1 billion as of September 7, 2002. Operating in international markets exposes the Company to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary exposures result from our operations in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates would impact the translation of our investments in foreign operations, the fair value of our foreign currency denominated financial instruments and our reported foreign currency denominated earnings and cash flows. For the 36 weeks ended September 7, 2002, operating profit would have decreased $26 million if all foreign currencies had uniformly weakened 10% relative to the U.S. dollar. The estimated reduction assumes no changes in sales volumes or local currency sales or input prices.

We attempt to minimize the exposure related to our investments in foreign operations by financing those investments with local currency debt when practical. In addition, we attempt to minimize the exposure related to foreign currency denominated financial instruments by purchasing goods and services from third parties in local currencies when practical. Foreign currency denominated financial instruments consist primarily of intercompany short-term receivables and payables. At times, we utilize forward contracts to reduce our risk exposure related to these foreign currency denominated financial instruments. The notional amount and maturity dates of these contracts match those of the underlying receivables or payables such that our foreign currency exchange risk related to these instruments is eliminated.

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to volatility in food costs as a result of market risk associated with commodity prices. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. We manage our exposure to this risk primarily through pricing agreements as well as, on a limited basis, commodity future and option contracts. Commodity future and option contracts outstanding at September 7, 2002 and December 29, 2001, were not significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls

Within ninety days prior to the filing of this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.

Cautionary Statements

From time to time, in both written reports and oral statements, we present “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements include those identified by such words as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan” and other similar terminology. These “forward-looking statements” reflect our current expectations regarding future events and operating and financial performance and are based upon data available at the time of the statements. Actual results involve risks and uncertainties, including both those specific to the Company and those specific to the industry, and could differ materially from expectations.

Company risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, potentially substantial tax contingencies related to the Spin-off, which, if they occur, require us to indemnify PepsiCo, Inc.; our substantial debt leverage and the attendant potential restriction on our ability to borrow in the future, as well as our substantial interest expense and principal repayment obligations; potential unfavorable variances between estimated and actual liabilities; our ability to secure alternative distribution of products and equipment to our restaurants and our ability to ensure adequate supply of restaurant products and equipment in our stores; the ongoing financial viability of our franchisees and licensees; volatility of actuarially determined losses and loss estimates and adoption of new or changes in accounting policies and practices including pronouncements promulgated by standard setting bodies.

Industry risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, global and local business, economic and political conditions; legislation and governmental regulation; competition; success of operating initiatives and advertising and promotional efforts; volatility of commodity costs; increases in minimum wage and other operating costs; availability and cost of land and construction; consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends; political or economic instability in local markets and changes in currency exchange and interest rates.

Independent Accountants' Review Report

The Board of Directors
YUM! Brands, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“YUM”) (formerly TRICON Global Restaurants, Inc.) as of September 7, 2002 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 2002 and September 8, 2001. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of YUM’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of YUM as of December 29, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 7, 2002, except as to Note 12 which is as of February 22, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2001, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
