Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes included in the Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. annual report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Note B - Seasonality of Business

Operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995
are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended 
December 31, 1995 primarily due to the seasonality of the Company's business.
Unit sales of the Company's products are greater in the second and third
quarters due to seasonal factors.

Note C - Acquisitions and Divestitures

On January 27, 1995, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding
shares of stock of the Wichita Coca-Cola Bottling Company ("Wichita") for
$150 million in cash.  On January 1, 1995, the Company sold its 50% ownership
interest in The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Mid South ("Mid South") for
$17 million, resulting in a $9 million pretax gain ($0.04 per common share).

Note F - Stock Options and Other Stock Plans 

The Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Option Plan") provides for 
awards to officers and certain key employees of the Company.  The total 
number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 1995 Option 
Plan may not exceed 2,893,100 shares.  Generally, options awarded under 
the 1995 Option Plan (i) are granted at an exercise price of 100% or more 
of the fair market value on the date of grant; (ii) vest ratably over a 
three year period; and (iii) expire ten years from the date of grant.

An aggregate 539,200 options have been awarded under the 1995 Option Plan.  
The option price for such awards was $17.875, representing the fair market 
value of the Company's shares on the date of grant.  An aggregate 415,862 
shares of common stock have been issued during the first six months of 1995 
as a result of the exercise of stock options under the Company's various 
stock option plans.

The Company's 1995 Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "1995 Stock Plan")
provides for awards to officers and certain key employees of the Company. 
The Company has reserved a total of 2,040,000 shares of common stock of the 
Company for issuance under the 1995 Stock Plan.  Awards under the 1995 Stock 
Plan vest only upon attainment of stated increases in the market price of the
Company's common stock within five years from the date of grant, in which 
event the ownership restrictions on the shares are removed.  An aggregate 
654,700 shares of common stock have been awarded under the 1995 Stock Plan.

Note F - Stock Options and Other Stock Plans (continued)

An aggregate 39,800 restricted shares previously awarded under various 
restricted stock award plans of the Company were forfeited and added to 
treasury stock during the first six months of 1995.

Note G - Share Repurchase Program

The Company has a share repurchase program under which it may repurchase up 
to 10 million shares of its outstanding common stock.  During the first 
quarter of 1995, prior to the acquisition of Wichita, the Company repurchased 
473,900 shares of common stock under the program for an aggregate cost of 
approximately $9 million.  The Company did not repurchase shares during the 
second quarter of 1995.  Cumulative repurchases total approximately two 
million shares under the program.  On July 27, 1995, the Company announced 
its intent to again begin to repurchase shares under the program effective 
immediately using anticipated annual free cash flow of the Company.

Note H - Contingencies

The Company has provided letters of credit aggregating approximately $85 
million principally in connection with self-insurance programs.  The Company 
has guaranteed payment of up to $240 million of indebtedness owed by 
manufacturers supplying certain packaging used in the Company's manufacturing 
process.  At June 30, 1995, these manufacturers had approximately $130 
million of indebtedness outstanding guaranteed by the Company.  

The Company incurs costs for the required removal, replacement, or
modification of underground fuel storage tanks, and any required soil and 
groundwater remediation resulting from leaking tanks, to satisfy regulations 
now in effect and which go into effect in varying stages through 1998.  The 
Company also incurs costs in connection with other environmental programs 
covering the discharge of materials and waste water treatment.  The Company
believes that any amount it may be required to pay in excess of amounts 
accrued would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, 
cash flows or results of operations.

Note H - Contingencies (continued)

The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for 
the costs of remediation of hazardous waste at federal or state Superfund 
sites.  Under current law, the Company's liability for clean-up of Superfund 
sites may be joint and several with other PRPs, regardless of the extent of 
the Company's use in relation to other users.  As to any site where the 
Company has determined that it may be liable, the Company has determined 
that there are other PRPs who are financially solvent as well, and that 
any hazardous waste deposited by the Company is minimal compared to amounts 
deposited by other financially solvent PRPs.  As a result, the Company 
believes that any ultimate liability will not have a material effect on its 
financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations


                     OPERATIONS REVIEW

Business Strategy

Through the implementation and execution of operating and financial 
strategies designed to build value in our Company, we expect to accomplish
our primary goal -- the enhancement of share-owner value. 

Our principal operating goal is to increase long-term operating cash flow 
through profitable increases in sales volume.  The liquid nonalcoholic 
refreshment business is becoming increasingly complex and competitive as 
products, packages, customers and marketing channels become more 
sophisticated and diverse.  This increased complexity requires that we 
develop and execute innovative marketing programs at the local level.  
In order to obtain profitable increases in case sales, the competitive 
environment requires that we balance volume growth with improved margins 
and sustainable increases in market share.  We intend to grow our volume 
through profitable business partnerships with our customers and superior 
marketing to our consumers.

Our primary financial objective is to achieve an optimal capital structure 
which provides the financial flexibility for internal projects, share 
repurchases and acquisitions, and then to repay debt.

Operations Overview

Gross profit margins decreased during the second quarter from 38.7% in 1994 
to 36.9% in 1995.  Six-month 1995 gross profit margins decreased from 39% 
in 1994 to 37.5% in 1995.  These decreases primarily resulted from the effect 
of the significant packaging cost increases experienced by the industry.  We 
produced operating margins of 9.1% during the second quarter of 1995, 
compared to 9.3% during the second quarter of 1994, and 7.4% for the first 
six months of 1995 compared to 7.5% for the first six months of 1994.  
Although these margins decreased, we were able to grow gross profit and 
operating income by approximately 8% and 11%, respectively, in both the 
second quarter and first six months of 1995.  Net income margins improved 
over the second quarter and first six months of 1994 reflecting, in addition 
to our solid operating performance, favorable net interest expense as a 
percent of net revenues and a lower effective tax rate.

Second-quarter 1995 net income per common share increased approximately 21% 
over second-quarter 1994.  Excluding the gain realized on the sale of our 
investment in Mid South, six-month 1995 net income per common share increased 
approximately 38% over the same prior year period.

Cash Operating Profit 

Cash operating profit (operating income before deductions for depreciation 
and amortization) increased approximately 11% and 10% in the second quarter 
and first six months of 1995, respectively, over the same periods of 1994.  
Assuming the Wichita acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994, second-quarter 
and six-month 1995 cash operating profit would have increased approximately 
9% over the same prior year periods.  We continue to expect full-year 1995 
growth in cash operating profit of approximately 8%, adjusting for the impact 
of acquisitions and assuming no significant changes in the current 
competitive environment.  

Revenues and Volume 

Net operating revenues for the second quarter of 1995 on an actual and 
constant territory basis increased approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, 
over the same prior year period.  The increase in actual net operating 
revenues resulted primarily from an approximate 6 1/2% increase in bottle 
and can physical case sales volume, and an approximate 7% increase in bottle 
and can net revenues per case.  Constant territory bottle and can physical 
case sales volume for the second quarter of 1995 increased approximately 
4 1/2% over 1994.
 
Net operating revenues for the first six months of 1995 on an actual and 
constant territory basis increased approximately 12% and 11%, respectively, 
over the same prior year period.  The increase in actual net operating 
revenues resulted primarily from an approximate 4% increase in bottle and 
can physical case sales volume and an approximate 7% increase in bottle 
and can net revenues per case.  Constant territory bottle and can physical 
case sales volume for the first six months of 1995 increased approximately 
3% over 1994.




                                  - 11 -  
<PAGE> 

Revenues and Volume (continued)

Solid volume growth in the second quarter of 1995 reflects the performance 
of core soft drink brands, including Coca-Cola classic, diet Coke and double 
digit growth in Sprite.  Although noncarbonated beverages make up less than 
5% of total cases sold, high growth in these products contributed 
significantly to our second-quarter 1995 volume growth.  The second-quarter 
1995 volume growth rate also benefitted from volume during the Easter holiday, 
which occurred in the second quarter in 1995 compared to the first quarter in 
1994.

While we expect continued constant territory bottle and can physical case 
sales volume growth for full-year 1995, we do not anticipate that volume 
growth will reach the full-year growth rate of 4 1/2% attained in 1994.  
The increase in second-quarter and six-month 1995 bottle and can net 
revenues per case primarily reflects significantly higher net selling prices 
resulting from the higher cost of packaging.

Cost of Sales 

Primarily as a result of packaging cost increases, cost of sales per case in 
the second quarter and first six months of 1995 exceeded same-period 1994 
costs by approximately 11% and 9 1/2%, respectively. The effect of foreign 
currency translation increased cost of sales per case by approximately 1% 
in both the second quarter and first six months of 1995.  Cost of sales per 
case was higher in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter 
of 1995, as the first quarter benefitted from year-end 1994 inventories with 
lower carrying costs.  We expect full-year 1995 bottle and can cost of sales 
per case to increase in the range of 8% to 10%, excluding any effect of 
foreign currency translations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Constant territory selling, general and administrative expenses increased 
approximately 6% during the second quarter and first six months of 1995, 
compared to the same periods of 1994.  This increase is principally a result 
of selling and delivery infrastructure investments associated with our 
increased cold drink channel development and noncarbonated product 
introductions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of 
sales decreased from 29.4% of sales in the second quarter of 1994 to 27.8% of 
sales in the second quarter of 1995, and from 31.6% of sales in the first six 
months of 1994, to 30.1% of sales in the first six months of 1995.

Interest Expense

The weighted average interest rate for the first six months of 1995 increased 
to 7.4% from 7.2% for the first six months of 1994. Given the current rate 
environment, we anticipate that net interest expense will be in the range 
of $325 million to $330 million for full-year 1995.

Income Taxes            

The Company's effective tax rates for the first six months of 1995 and 1994 
were approximately 44% and 48%, respectively.  The change in the effective 
tax rate between the periods is principally the result of the difference 
in full-year earnings expectations.  
 

                      CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY REVIEW

Capital Resources

Our sources of capital include, but are not limited to, the issuance of 
public or private placement debt, bank borrowings and the issuance of equity 
securities.  In addition to our operating cash flows, we believe that 
adequate long-term and short-term capital resources are available to satisfy 
our capital expenditure, acquisition and share repurchase programs; and to 
satisfy scheduled debt maturities, interest payments, income tax obligations, 
and dividend payments to our share owners.

Long-term Capital Resources:  The Company has unissued debt securities in the 
amount of $621 million available under a shelf registration with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission, in addition to the availability of equity
and new issue debt securities markets as a source of long-term financing.

Short-term Capital Resources:  We satisfy seasonal working capital needs and 
other financing requirements with short-term borrowings under our commercial 
paper program.  Our commercial paper program is supported by a revolving bank 
credit agreement maturing in December 1999 and two short-term credit 
facilities, aggregating $1.2 billion.

An aggregate $1 billion of commercial paper borrowings supported by these 
agreements was outstanding at June 30, 1995.  The Company intends to 
refinance borrowings under its commercial paper program either through 
continued short-term borrowings or long-term financing.

Summary of Cash Activities

Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $20 million in the first 
six months of 1995.  Our principal sources of cash consisted of those 
provided from operations of $273 million and the issuance of debt aggregating
$426 million.  Our primary uses of cash were capital expenditures totaling
$286 million, payments on debt aggregating $263 million, and the acquisition
of Wichita for a cost of $148 million (net of cash acquired).

Operating Activities:  Net cash provided by operating activities in the first
six months of 1995 decreased from the first six months of 1994, primarily as
a result of increased inventory balances caused mainly by higher packaging
costs.  The increase in depreciation expense in 1995 reflects the effects of
capital spending and the acquisition of Wichita during the first quarter
of 1995.

Summary of Cash Activities (continued)

Investing Activities:  Cash used in investing activities increased in the 
first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1994, primarily 
as a result of the acquisition of Wichita and increased capital spending.  
Our annual capital expenditure requirements are expected to be financed 
primarily with funds generated from operating activities.  We expect capital 
expenditures for full-year 1995 to approximate $400 million.

In the past nine years, the Company has acquired a number of bottling 
companies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.7 billion. 
Our sources of capital allow us to maintain flexibility for acquisitions 
that offer opportunities to implement our operating strategies and to 
achieve an acceptable rate of return.  We will continue to make domestic
and international acquisitions if and when such opportunities become 
available and are expected to increase share-owner value over the long term.
 
Financing Activities:  During the first quarter of 1995, prior to the 
acquisition of Wichita, we repurchased 473,900 shares of our common stock 
at a cost of approximately $9 million (an average of $18.26 per share).  
On July 27, 1995, we announced our intent to again begin to repurchase
shares under the program effective immediately using anticipated annual 
free cash flow.


                          FINANCIAL POSITION 

The increase in trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued 
expenses reflects the seasonal nature of our business.  The increase in 
inventory reflects packaging cost increases which went into effect on 
January 1, 1995 and the seasonal nature of our business.  The increase in 
prepaid expenses and other assets results from the establishment of a 
deferred tax asset related to a net operating loss carryforward which is 
expected to be used to offset taxable income during the next twelve months.  
The increase in franchise and other noncurrent assets reflects the increase 
in franchise assets resulting from the acquisition of Wichita in January 1995, 
offset by amortization expense.  The increase in long-term debt results from 
the financing of the Wichita acquisition, while the increase in deferred 
taxes results from the tax effects of the acquisition and the 
reclassification of the deferred tax asset.  The increase in the cumulative 
translation adjustment results from the decrease in the value of the dollar
against the Dutch florin during the first six months of 1995.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Accounting Standards 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived 
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."  The Statement requires 
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for 
impairment under certain circumstances and their recoverable amounts written 
down based on an analysis of expected future cash flow.  The adoption of this 
Statement will not have a material effect on the financial position or 
results of operations of the Company as the Company's current accounting
policies provide for similar accounting treatment.

Part II. Other Information 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In June 1995, Midwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company ("Midwest CCBC"), a division 
of Johnston Coca-Cola Bottling Group, Inc.  ("Johnston CCBG"), received from 
the United States Environmental Protection Agency an administrative complaint 
under sections 311 and 312 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-
Know Act ("EPCRA"), 42 U.S.C. sections 11021 and 11022, alleging thirteen 
violations of EPCRA and proposing a penalty of $176,000.  The alleged 
violations all relate to reporting requirements.  Midwest CCBC has filed an 
answer to the complaint requesting a hearing.

A tentative agreement has been reached concerning settlement of litigation 
filed in 1991 by Three Bridges Investment Company contesting the Company's 
acquisition of Johnston CCBG.  The settlement is contingent upon approval by 
the court, following notice to share owners and a hearing.  The settlement, 
as proposed, would not involve the payment of any damages to the plaintiffs.  
It would require that any proposed merger or consolidation with, purchase of 
an equity interest in, or other acquisition of an entity or other ownership 
interest, be approved by a committee of independent directors.  It would also 
require that the Company continue its share repurchase program for a period 
of time, and that the defendants pay the plaintiffs' attorneys fees, to the
extent approved by the court.
