                             NOTES ON THE ACCOUNTS

1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------
    
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention following accounting policies in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable in the
United Kingdom for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 8-K and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and notes 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 Amalgamated
Beverages Great Britain Limited annual report for the year ended 30 December
1995.

2.   Seasonality of Business
     -----------------------

Operating results for the 40 weeks ended 7 October 1995 and 5 October 1996 are
not indicative of results that may be expected for the years ended 30 December
1995 and 28 December 1996, respectively, primarily due to the seasonality of
the Company's business. Unit sales of the Company's products are generally
greater in the second and third quarters due to seasonal factors.

3.   Group Accounts
     --------------
    
The profit and loss accounts cover the 40 weeks from 1 January 1995 to 7 October
1995, and the 40 weeks from 31 December 1995 to 5 October 1996. The balance
sheets for 1995 and 1996 have been drawn up at 30 December 1995 and 5 October
1996, respectively.    

4.   Summary of Differences Between UK and US Generally Accepted Accounting 
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Principles
     ----------
    
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable in the UK ("UK GAAP"), which differ in certain
significant respects from those applicable in the US ("US GAAP"). These
differences relate principally to the following items and the necessary
adjustments are shown in the tables which follow.     

                                     F-4

<PAGE>
 
                             NOTES ON THE ACCOUNTS

                                  (Continued)
    
     

     (a) Interest capitalisation

     Under UK GAAP, the capitalisation of interest is optional and the Company
     has not capitalized any interest on major capital construction projects.

     Under US GAAP, interest incurred as part of the cost of acquiring all fixed
     assets which become assets in course of construction is capitalized and
     amortized over the life of the asset, following its commissioning.

     (b) Revaluation of properties

     Under UK GAAP, properties may be re-stated on the basis of appraised values
     in financial statements prepared in all other respects in accordance with
     the historical cost convention. Such re-statements are not generally
     permitted under US GAAP, except in connection with purchase accounting, and
     accordingly adjustments to net income and Shareholders' equity are required
     to eliminate the above re-statements.

     (c) Pension Costs

     Under UK GAAP, the costs of providing pension benefits may be calculated by
     the use of any recognized actuarial method which is appropriate and whose
     assumptions reflect the long term nature of the assets and liabilities
     involved.

     Under US GAAP (SFAS 87), the Group's employees are considered to have
     participated in a multi-employer pension plan. For multi-employer plans
     employers are required to recognise as net pension expense total
     contributions for the period.

     (d) Ordinary Dividends

     Under UK GAAP, final ordinary dividends are provided in the financial
     statements on the basis of the recommendation by the Directors which
     requires subsequent approval by the Shareholders to become a legal
     obligation of the Company.

     Under US GAAP, dividends are only provided when the legal obligation to pay
     arises.

     (e) Deferred Taxation

     Under UK GAAP, no provision is made for deferred taxation if there is
     reasonable evidence that such deferred taxation will not be payable in the
     foreseeable future.

     Under US GAAP, deferred taxation is provided in full on the liability
     method in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income
     Taxes".

     (f) Cash Flows
    
     Under UK GAAP the Group complies with the Financial Reporting Standard No.
     1 "Cash Flow Statements" (FRS 1), the objective and principles of which are
     similar to those set out in SFAS 95 "Statement of Cash Flows" (SFAS 95).
     The principle difference between the two standards is in respect of
     classification. Under FRS 1, the Group presents its cashflows for (a)
     operating activities; (b) returns on investments and servicing of finance;
     (c) taxation; (d) investing activities;

                                      F-5

                                  (Continued)

 
     and (e) financing activities. SFAS 95 requires only three categories of
     cash flow activity (a) operating; (b) investing; and (c) financing.

     Cash flows arising from taxation and returns on investments and servicing
     of finance under FRS 1 would, with the exception of dividends paid, be
     included as operating activities under SFAS 95; dividend payments would be
     included as a financing activity under SFAS 95. In addition, under FRS 1,
     cash and cash equivalents include short term borrowings with original
     maturities of less than 90 days. SFAS 95 requires movements on such short
     term borrowings to be included in financing activities.

(iv) Coca-Cola Bottling Company West, Inc., and Grand Forks Coca-Cola Bottling

Acquired Companies (referring to all of the purchased companies, collectively)
based on the assumptions set forth in the following Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Condensed Financial Information. The Company has entered into various
letters of intent and purchase agreements related to the aforementioned Acquired
Companies which are described below.

Completed Acquisitions
- ----------------------

On February 21, 1996, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares
of stock of Ouachita for a total transaction value of approximately $313
million. The purchase price was paid in a combination of cash, shares of 
the Company's common stock from treasury, and two types of convertible preferred
stock. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The Ouachita bottling operations are located in portions of
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

On July 26, 1996, the Company acquired The Coca-Cola Company's bottling and
canning operations in France and Belgium for a transaction value of
approximately $915 million. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The France/Belgium franchise territories include
approximately 90% of the population in France and all of the population in
Belgium.

On August 12, 1996, the Company acquired Coke West for a transaction value of
approximately $158 million. Coke West operates in franchise territories in
portions of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION -- (CONTINUED)

Pending Acquisition
- -------------------

On August 9, 1996, the Company signed an agreement to purchase the Great Britain
bottler from The Coca-Cola Company and Cadbury Schweppes plc for an aggregate
transaction value (purchase price, assumed debt, and other long-term
obligations) of approximately 1.2 billion British pounds. A wholly owned
subsidiary of the Great Britain bottler produces and distributes beverage
products of The Coca-Cola Company and Cadbury Schweppes plc in England, Scotland
and Wales.

On September 13, 1996, the European Commission (the "Commission") announced it
was opening a second phase investigation of the Company's proposed acquisition
of the Great Britain bottler, under the merger regulation of the European
Union. The Commission has until January 29, 1997 to make a final decision. The
Company believes that the Commission's Merger Task Force will issue a Statement
of Objections to the proposed acquisition before the end of November 1996, to
which the Company and the other parties to the proposed acquisition will
respond. The Statement of Objections could, under some circumstances, result in
modifications to the terms of the transaction to resolve issues raised by the
staff, but, the Company is unable to predict what effect they may have upon the
proposed transaction. However, the Company remains confident that the
transaction will ultimately be approved and completed.

The preceding completed and pending acquisitions were, or will be, initially
financed through short-term bank borrowings and commercial paper. The Company
intends to refinance portions of these short-term borrowings on a long-term
basis subsequent to the acquisitions. With respect to international
acquisitions, the Company has financed, or intends to finance, the acquisitions
in local currency (or alternatively to execute currency swaps) to eliminate
exposure to fluctuating currencies on the Company's acquisition cost.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited and unaudited financial statements,
including the notes thereto, contained in: (i) the Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and (ii) Coca-
Cola Enterprises Inc. Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods
ended March 29, 1996, June 28, 1996, and September 27, 1996.
    
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the nine
months ended September 27, 1996 and each of the quarterly periods ended March
29, 1996, June 28, 1996 and September 27, 1996 present the combined operating
results of the Company and the Acquired Companies, as if the completed and
pending acquisitions described above had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance
sheet as of September 27, 1996 includes the unaudited historical balance sheet
of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. as of September 27, 1996 and Great Britain
presented as of October 5, 1996. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
balance sheet as of September 27, 1996 presents the combined financial position
of the Company and Great Britain as if the pending acquisition described above
had occurred on September 27, 1996. There can be no assurance that the pending
acquisition will close. These pro forma financial statements reflect use of the
purchase method of accounting and are based on the historical financial
information of the Company and the Acquired Companies adjusted for the pro forma
adjustments described in the attached notes to unaudited pro forma combined
condensed financial information. Certain reclassifications and adjustments have
been made to the historical financial statements of the Acquired Companies to
conform to the Company's financial presentation and interim reporting dates.

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION -- (CONTINUED)

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates of the fair value
of assets and liabilities of the Acquired Companies, which may require further
adjustment when additional information is obtained as of the acquisition date
and during the one year period subsequent to acquisition.  Any reallocation of
the purchase price based on final valuations of assets and liabilities should
not differ significantly from the original estimates and should not have a
material impact on the pro forma financial statements.

The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only
and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have
occurred if the acquisitions had been consummated in accordance with the
assumptions set forth below, nor is it necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial position.

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The historical information for each company reflected in the accompanying Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements have been determined using United
States generally accepted accounting principles.

    
The following notes describe the pro forma adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of completed and pending acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price
totaling approximately $3.3 billion (France/Belgium - $915 million; Great
Britain - $2 billion; Ouachita and Coke West - $471 million) in cash and assumed
debt. Actual adjustments to account for the acquisitions under the purchase
method are dependent upon the final valuations of the various assets and
liabilities of the Acquired Companies. The Ouachita acquisition occurred in
February 1996 and the France/Belgium and Coke West acquisitions occurred in the
third quarter of 1996 and, therefore, balance sheet accounts for these
acquisitions are included in the balance sheet of the Company as of September
27, 1996. The historical information for each Acquired Company presented in the
pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended
September 27, 1996 reflect historical operations from January 1, 1996 through
date of acquisition. The results of operations of the Acquired Companies from
date of acquisition through September 27, 1996 are included in the historical
results of operations of the Company.

NOTE A - Pro forma adjustments to "Selling, general & administrative expenses"
reflect amortization of the assigned value of the rights of the Acquired
Companies to market, produce, and distribute beverage products in their
franchise territories principally over 40 years, net of amortization previously
recorded.

NOTE B - The pro forma adjustments to "Interest expense, net" reflect additional
interest costs on  debt issued to fund the cash portion of the purchase price
and to repay assumed debt contemplating the long-term fixed rate financing of
the transactions. The acquisitions will initially be financed through short-term
bank borrowings and commercial paper. The Company intends to refinance portions
of these short-term borrowings on a long-term basis subsequent to the
acquisitions. Interest rates assumed applicable to contemplated financings were
7.5% (reflecting the Company's weighted average long-term borrowing rate for
1995).

NOTE C - The pro forma adjustments to "Income tax expense (benefit)" reflect the
income tax attributes of the foregoing adjustments and the effect on the
consolidated tax provision after inclusion of the Acquired Companies. On a
quarterly basis, the pro forma adjustments reflect modifications to the
Company's estimated effective annual income tax rate for full year 1996
giving effect to the results of operations of the Acquired Companies and the pro
forma adjustments.

NOTE D - This pro forma adjustment to "Net Operating Revenues" and "Cost of
sales" gives effect to the elimination of historical sales by France/Belgium to
the Company's Netherlands operations.

NOTE E - This pro forma adjustment to "Net Operating Revenues" and "Cost of
sales" gives effect to the elimination of historical product sales by
France/Belgium to the German Coca-Cola bottler owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
These sales were discontinued as a condition of the purchase agreement.

                      FINANCIAL INFORMATION -- (CONTINUED)

    
NOTE F - This pro forma adjustment to "Net operating revenues" gives effect to
the elimination of certain marketing support funding provided by The Coca-Cola
Company. As a condition of the purchase agreement, the marketing support
arrangement between France/Belgium and The Coca-Cola Company has reduced the
funding. Therefore, France/Belgium will no longer be receiving this marketing
support.

NOTE G - This pro forma adjustment to "Cost of sales" gives effect to the
elimination of intercompany centralized purchasing costs for certain products 
and packaging materials purchased directly from a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola
Company by France/Belgium. As a condition of the purchase agreement,
