condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)&amp;#160;include the
accounts of Reynolds American Inc., referred to as RAI, and its wholly owned
operating subsidiaries. RAI&amp;#8217;s wholly owned subsidiaries include
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company; Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., referred
to as Santa Fe; Lane, Limited, referred to as Lane; Conwood Holdings, Inc.;
and Conwood Company, LLC and Rosswil LLC, collectively referred to as the
Conwood companies. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;
margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;RAI
was incorporated as a holding company in the state of North Carolina on January&amp;#160;5,
2004, and its common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol &amp;#8220;RAI.&amp;#8221;
RAI was created to facilitate the business combination of the U.S. business
of Brown &amp;#038; Williamson Holdings, Inc., referred to as B&amp;#038;W,
with R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company on July&amp;#160;30, 2004. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;References
to RJR Tobacco prior to July&amp;#160;30, 2004, relate to R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, a New Jersey corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds
Tobacco Holdings, Inc., referred to as RJR. References to RJR Tobacco on and
subsequent to July&amp;#160;30, 2004, relate to the combined U.S. assets,
liabilities and operations of B&amp;#038;W and R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
a North Carolina corporation. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size:
10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;RAI&amp;#8217;s
reportable operating segments are RJR Tobacco and Conwood. The RJR Tobacco
segment consists of the primary operations of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company.
The Conwood segment consists of Conwood Holdings, Inc., the primary operations
of the Conwood companies and Lane. RAI&amp;#8217;s wholly owned subsidiary,
Santa Fe, among others, is included in All Other. The segments were identified
based on how RAI&amp;#8217;s chief operating decision maker allocates resources
and assesses performance. Some of RAI&amp;#8217;s wholly owned operating subsidiaries
have entered into intercompany agreements for products or services with other
RAI operating subsidiaries. As a result, certain activities of an operating
subsidiary may be included in a different segment of RAI. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div
align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;RAI&amp;#8217;s
operating subsidiaries primarily conduct their business in the United States.
&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Basis
of Presentation&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size:
10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)&amp;#160;have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, referred to as GAAP, for interim financial
information and, in management&amp;#8217;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 GAAP 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
period ended June&amp;#160;30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December&amp;#160;31, 2009.
&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The
equity method is used to account for investments in businesses that RAI 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 RAI does not have the ability to significantly influence operating and
financial policies. RAI 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. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left" style="font-size:
10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The
condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)&amp;#160;should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
footnotes, which appear in RAI&amp;#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December&amp;#160;31, 2008. Certain reclassifications were
made to conform prior years&amp;#8217; financial statements to the current
presentation. All dollar amounts, other than per share amounts, are presented
in millions, except for amounts set forth in note 10 and as otherwise noted.

align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Recognized
gains or losses are annual changes in the amount of either the benefit obligation
or the market-related value of plan assets resulting from experience different
from that assumed or from changes in assumptions. The minimum amortization
of unrecognized gains or losses, as described in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards, referred to as SFAS, No.&amp;#160;87, &amp;#8220;Employers&amp;#8217;
Accounting for Pensions,&amp;#8221; was included in pension expense, and as
described in SFAS No.&amp;#160;106, &amp;#8220;Employers&amp;#8217; Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions,&amp;#8221; was included in
the postretirement benefit cost. Prior service costs, which are changes in
benefit obligations due to plan amendments, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the average remaining service period for active employees. The
market-related value of plan assets recognizes changes in fair value in a
systematic and rational manner over five years. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="left"
style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The

Value Measurements,&amp;#8221; for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities.
SFAS No.&amp;#160;157 does not require any new fair value measurements but
provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No.&amp;#160;157
also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between independent
and observable inputs and unobservable inputs based on the best information
available. The adoption of SFAS No.&amp;#160;157 on nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities did not have a material impact on RAI&amp;#8217;s
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. &lt;/div&gt;

Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.&amp;#8221; FSP No.&amp;#160;EITF
03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions
are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included
in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share. As a result, unvested
restricted shares outstanding under the Reynolds American Inc. Long-Term Incentive
Plan, referred to as the LTIP, are included in basic EPS calculations. &lt;/div&gt;

&amp;#8220;Interim Financial Reporting,&amp;#8221; by requiring disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements
as well as in annual financial statements. The adoption of FSP No.&amp;#160;FAS

results of operations, cash flows or financial position. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div

Events.&amp;#8221; SFAS No.&amp;#160;165 establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
The adoption of SFAS No.&amp;#160;165 did not have a material impact on RAI&amp;#8217;s
consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recently

style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;In
June&amp;#160;2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.&amp;#160;168, &amp;#8220;The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification&lt;sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align:
text-top"&gt;TM &lt;/sup&gt;and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles &amp;#8212; a replacement FASB Statement No.&amp;#160;162.&amp;#8221;
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification will become the source of authoritative
U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.
SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and
annual periods ending after September&amp;#160;15, 2009, and will have no
impact on RAI&amp;#8217;s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or
financial position. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;
