Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
VOLUME
SOFT DRINKS: Worldwide unit case volume increased 10 percent and gallon
shipments of concentrates and syrups grew 8 percent in the second quarter of
1995 when compared to the second quarter of 1994. Unit case volume increased 9
percent and gallon shipments grew 10 percent for the first six months of 1995.
Unit case volume in the Company's North American soft drink operation
increased 6 percent in the second quarter, led by an increase of 6 percent in
the United States. Unit case volume in North America grew 5 percent for the
first six months of 1995, including 5 percent growth in the United States. The
continuing strong unit case volume gains in the United States resulted from
increases in the Company's core brands, as well as sales of new products, such
as POWERaDE, Minute Maid Juices To Go and Fruitopia. Continued focus on
programs designed to increase customer volume and profit also contributed to
second quarter results. North American gallon shipments of concentrates and
syrups increased 3 percent for the second quarter and for the first six months
of 1995. In particular, gallon shipments rose 3 percent in the United States
for the second quarter and for the first six months of 1995.
International unit case volume and gallon shipments of concentrates and
syrups grew 11 percent in the second quarter.
In the Latin America Group, unit case volume grew 10 percent in the second
quarter, including gains of 45 percent in Brazil, 15 percent in Chile and 1
percent in Mexico. The unit case volume gains in Latin America resulted from
new packaging initiatives and focused brand promotions. Gallon shipments in
the Latin America Group increased 12 percent in the second quarter of 1995.
For the first six months of the year, unit case volume has increased 13 percent
and gallon shipments have grown 14 percent in the Latin America Group.
In the Africa Group, second quarter unit case volume and gallon shipments
grew 14 percent. Unit case volume has risen 13 percent and gallon shipments
have grown 24 percent in the Africa Group for the first six months of the year.
-9-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Unit case volume in the Middle and Far East Group grew 11 percent in the
second quarter, driven by a 37 percent increase in China, a 34 percent increase
in India and a 16 percent increase in the Philippines. Unit case volume in
Japan declined 3 percent, as public safety issues and difficult economic and
weather environments negatively impacted the entire retail sector in that
country. Gallon shipments in the Middle and Far East Group increased 12
percent in the second quarter. For the first six months of the year, unit case
volume has grown 12 percent and gallon shipments have increased 15 percent in
the Middle and Far East Group.
In the Greater Europe Group, second quarter unit case volume increased 12
percent. Unit case volume grew 38 percent in the East Central European
Division, 9 percent in Spain, 6 percent in Germany and 10 percent in Great
Britain. Gallon shipments in the Greater Europe Group grew 9 percent in the
second quarter. For the first six months of the year, unit case volume and
gallon shipments in the Greater Europe Group increased 10 percent.
FOODS: At Coca-Cola Foods, unit volume declined 3 percent for the second
quarter as a strategy was implemented to adjust the balance between price
promotions and brand marketing investments. For the first six months of the
year, unit volume declined 2 percent.
NET OPERATING REVENUES AND GROSS MARGIN
Net operating revenues in the second quarter and the first six months of 1995
increased 14 percent, primarily due to increased soft drink gallon shipments,
selective price increases and a weaker U.S. dollar versus key currencies in the
prior year.
The Company's gross margin increased to 62.0 percent in the second quarter of
1995 from 61.6 percent in the second quarter of 1994. The increase in gross
margin for the second quarter of 1995 was due primarily to the sale of certain
consolidated bottling operations, offset by slight increases in sweetener
costs. The Company's gross margin was 62.2 percent for the first six months of
1995 and 1994.
SELLING, ADMINISTRATIVE AND GENERAL EXPENSES
Selling expenses were $1,449 million in the second quarter of 1995, compared
to $1,309 million in the second quarter of 1994. For the first six months of
the year, selling expenses were $2,622 million, compared to $2,361 million in
the same period in 1994. The increase was primarily due to higher marketing
investments in support of the Company's volume growth.
-10-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Administrative and general expenses were $353 million in the second quarter
of 1995, compared to $296 million in the second quarter of 1994. For the first
six months of 1995, administrative and general expenses were $710 million,
compared to $582 million in the comparable period of the prior year. The
increase for the quarter and the first six months of the year resulted
primarily from an increase in the costs of stock-related employee benefits.
OPERATING INCOME AND OPERATING MARGIN
Operating income for the second quarter of 1995 increased to $1,258 million,
an 18 percent increase over the second quarter of 1994. For the first six
months of 1995, operating income increased 16 percent, to $2,137 million. The
operating margin for the first six months of 1995 increased to 24.3 percent
from 23.9 percent in the comparable period in 1994.
INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest income increased in the second quarter and for the first six months
of 1995 relative to the comparable periods in 1994, due primarily to rising
interest rates and higher average invested cash equivalents and marketable
securities balances. Interest expense increased in the second quarter and for
the first six months of 1995 relative to the comparable periods in 1994, due
primarily to rising interest rates and higher average commercial paper
borrowings to fund the accelerated share repurchase program.
EQUITY INCOME
Equity income for the second quarter of 1995 totaled $70 million, compared to
$57 million in the second quarter of 1994. For the first six months of 1995,
equity income totaled $94 million, compared to $64 million for the same period
in 1994. The increase in the first six months of the year was due primarily to
improved results from Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines,
Inc. and equity income now being reported from the Company's investment in the
Argentina bottler (previously a wholly-owned consolidated bottling operation),
partially offset by lower operating results from The Coca-Cola Bottling Company
of New York, Inc. and Coca-Cola & Schweppes Beverages Ltd.
OTHER INCOME (DEDUCTIONS) - NET
Other income (deductions) - net was $(17) million for the second quarter of
1995 compared to $(14) million for the second quarter of 1994. For the first
six months of 1995, other income (deductions) - net was $4 million, compared to
$(25) million in the comparable period of the prior year. The increase in the
first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994 was due
primarily to the gains on the sales of certain bottling investments, partially
offset by increased foreign currency exchange losses.
-11-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate during the second quarter of 1995, when
compared to the second quarter of 1994, decreased to 31.1 percent from 31.5
percent. The effective tax rate was 31.3 percent for the first six months of
1995 compared to 31.5 percent for the first six months of 1994. The Company's
effective tax rate reflects tax benefits derived from significant operations
outside the United States which are taxed at rates lower than the U.S.
statutory rate of 35 percent.
NET INCOME
Net income per share increased at a slightly higher rate than net income due
to the Company's share repurchase program.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
NET CASH FLOW PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS AFTER REINVESTMENT
In the first six months of 1995, net cash flow after reinvestment totaled
$848 million, an increase of $143 million over the comparable period in 1994.
Net cash provided by operating activities declined in the first six months of
1995 as higher net income was offset by increases in operating assets and
liabilities relative to the comparable period in 1994. Net cash used in
investing activities also decreased in the first six months of 1995, from the
first six months of 1994, due primarily to increased proceeds from disposals of
investments and other assets. Reinvestment in the form of property, plant and
equipment, the primary use of cash for investing activities, was $458 million
for the first six months of 1995, an increase of approximately $94 million over
the comparable period in 1994.
The increases in trade accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 1995, as compared to December
31, 1994, were due primarily to seasonal factors in the soft drink business.
-12-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
FINANCING
Financing activities primarily represent the Company's net borrowing
activities, dividend payments and share repurchases. Net cash used in
financing activities totaled $682 million and $499 million for the first six
months of 1995 and 1994, respectively. Net borrowings were $452 million in the
first six months of 1995, compared to $332 million in the first six months of
1994. Net borrowings were used primarily to finance share repurchases. Cash
used for share repurchases increased to $902 million, compared to $402 million
in the comparable period in 1994. The net increase in cash used in financing
activities caused by these items was partially offset by a decrease in cash
used for dividend payments due to the timing of payments.
EXCHANGE
International operations are subject to certain opportunities and risks,
including currency fluctuations and governmental actions. The Company closely
monitors its methods of operating in each country and adopts appropriate
strategies responsive to each environment. On a weighted average basis, the
U.S. dollar was approximately 6 percent weaker during the second quarter of
1995 versus key currencies for the comparable period of the prior year.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 1995, Joseph Siegman, as custodian for Gregory and Michelle Siegman, filed
suit in Delaware Chancery Court in December 1987 against the Company, Tri-Star
Pictures, Inc. ("Tri-Star"), CPI Film Holdings, Inc., Home Box Office, Inc. and
the directors of Tri-Star at that time. Plaintiff, a Tri-Star stockholder
acting on behalf of a class of Tri-Star stockholders other than defendants and
their affiliates and derivatively on behalf of Tri-Star, challenged a transfer
agreement, dated October 1, 1987, among the Company, certain of its
subsidiaries and Tri-Star as the product of an alleged self-dealing breach of
fiduciary duty by the Company and the Tri-Star Board of Directors. Plaintiff
also alleged that the proxy statement issued by Tri-Star in connection with the
transaction inadequately disclosed material facts about the transaction.
Pursuant to the transfer agreement, the Company transferred its Entertainment
Business Sector (other than certain retained assets) to Tri-Star in exchange
for approximately 75 million shares of Tri-Star common stock. The complaint
sought judgment imposing a constructive trust upon the Tri-Star shares received
by the Company pursuant to the transfer agreement, rescinding the transfer
agreement and awarding compensatory damages in an unspecified amount.
During 1991 and 1992, the Chancery Court granted defendants' motion to
dismiss the case, and plaintiff appealed. In November 1993, the Delaware
Supreme Court issued an opinion reversing in part the judgment entered by the
Chancery Court and remanding the case for trial on the merits. The Supreme
Court's opinion treated all of the factual allegations in plaintiff's complaint
as true for purposes of the appeal and determined that the complaint was
legally adequate to permit plaintiff an opportunity to prove the complaint
allegations.
In March 1995, an agreement in principle to settle this case was reached
between the class representatives and all of the defendants, including the
Company. On June 21, 1995, the Delaware Chancery Court approved this
settlement and the defendants (including the Company) deposited the amount of
the settlement, which had no material effect on the Company's earnings, in a
trust account for distribution to the members of the plaintiff class. With
this payment, this litigation has been terminated and the Company and each of
the individual defendants has been released from all further liability while
admitting no liability or wrongdoing in connection with the transaction.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings. The Company
believes that any liability to the Company which may arise as a result of these
proceedings, including the proceedings specifically discussed above and in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company
and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

<FN>
The Company is contingently liable for guarantees of indebtedness of
independent bottling companies and others (approximately $186 million
at June 30, 1995). Fixed charges for these contingent liabilities have
not been included in the computations of the above ratios as the amounts
are immaterial and, in the opinion of Management, it is not probable
that the Company will be required to satisfy the guarantees.
