NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 GAAP 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
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.
NOTE B - SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS
Operating results for the second quarter and first six months ended June 27,
1997 are not indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997 because of business seasonality. This seasonality results from
a combination of higher unit sales of the Company's products in the second and
third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year and the methods
of accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization, and interest
expense which are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.
NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS
On February 10, 1997, the Company purchased Amalgamated Beverages Great Britain
Limited (ABGB) 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 $2 billion. Coca-Cola & Schweppes Beverages
Limited (CCSB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ABGB, produces and distributes
beverage products of The Coca-Cola Company and Cadbury Schweppes plc in Great
Britain. CCSB has entered into long-term contracts to continue to produce and
distribute products of both The Coca-Cola Company and Cadbury Schweppes plc in
Great Britain.
The following table summarizes unaudited proforma financial information of the
Company as if the 1996 and 1997 acquisitions of S.A. Beverage Sales Holding
N.V., Coca-Cola Enterprises S.A. (formerly known as Coca-Cola Beverages S.A.),
Coca-Cola Production S.A., Ouachita Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Inc. (Ouachita),
Coca-Cola Bottling Company West, Inc., Grand Forks Coca-Cola Bottling Company,
and ABGB, were completed effective January 1, 1996. The unaudited proforma
financial information for the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 1997
and June 28, 1996 reflects adjustments for: (i) the repayment of assumed debt,
(ii) financing of the transactions at an interest cost of approximately 6.9% for
the period January 1, 1997 through February 10, 1997 (ABGB acquisition date) and
7.5% for the second quarter and six months ended June 28, 1996, (iii)
amortization of the value of the acquired franchise assets over 40 years, (iv)
contractual changes to the business of certain of the acquired companies, and
(v) income tax effects of the foregoing (in millions except per share data):

Pending Transactions:
On August 7, 1997, the Company announced its acquisition of The Coca-Cola
Company's 48% interest in Coca-Cola Beverages Ltd. (Coke Canada) and their 49%
interest in The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York, Inc. (Coke New York). In
addition, the Company intends to make an offer to acquire the remaining shares
of Coke Canada (52%) held by the public. The Company is seeking to acquire the
stock of Coke New York currently held by private investors.
The total transaction value (purchase price, acquired debt, and preferred stock)
for all ownership interests in Coke New York and Coke Canada is estimated to
approximate $1.69 billion based on the expected cost of the remaining shares of
Coke New York and the anticipated offer price for the public shares in Coke
Canada, at current exchange rates. The Company is financing the acquisition
through the issuance of debt. It is anticipated that all aspects of the
transaction will close by the end of third-quarter 1997.
Coke Canada operates in all 10 Canadian provinces. Coke New York operates in the
New York metropolitan area, certain other areas in the state of New York, and in
parts of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Vermont.

NOTE C - ACQUISITIONS (Continued)
On July 21, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a letter of understanding

acquiring the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute products of The
Coca-Cola Company in this territory for a transaction value (purchase price and
acquired debt, net of cash acquired) of approximately $20 million, based on
current exchange rates. As part of this transaction, the Company has agreed to
sell and distribute Rosport water, a carbonated mineral water owned by the
current Coca-Cola bottler. The proposed transaction is subject to certain
conditions including negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement, approval
by the Company's Board of Directors, and approval of any regulatory agencies.
The Company intends to finance the acquisition through the issuance of debt. The
transaction is expected to close by early 1998.

NOTE D - LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
The Company's commercial paper program is supported by a $1 billion short-term
credit facility and a $1.5 billion long-term multicurrency revolving bank credit
agreement maturing in November 2001. At June 27, 1997, approximately $979
million is outstanding under the long-term multicurrency credit agreement and
$521 million of the outstanding commercial paper supported by this long-term
agreement has been classified as maturing after one year. The Company has
executed foreign currency swap agreements on approximately $819 million of its
commercial paper borrowings and intends to renew these 30-day foreign currency
swap agreements as they expire.
At June 27, 1997, the Company had available for issuance approximately $3
billion in registered debt securities under a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. After the July 1997 debt offering discussed
below, availability approximates $2.3 billion.
At June 27, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $1,023
million and $370 million, respectively, in short-term foreign
currency-denominated loans. These short-term loans consist of notes payable due
within one year and credit facilities. At June 27, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
the Company's credit facilities with international banks total approximately
$746 million and $736 million, of which $275 million and $370 million was
outstanding, respectively.
On April 1, 1997, the Company redeemed the $142 million of 8.75% Debentures due
April 1, 2017. The cost of $6 million under this redemption was included in
results of operations as other nonoperating expense in first-quarter 1997.
In March 1997 the Company issued $150 million of 5.71% Notes due March 18,
2037. Holders of these Notes may require the Company to repay the notes after
one year and each anniversary date thereafter. Additionally, in July 1997 the
Company issued (i) $250 million of 6.375% Notes due August 1, 2001, (ii) $200
million of 6.625% Notes due August 1, 2004, and (iii) $300 million of 7.125%
Debentures due August 1, 2017.
The multicurrency revolving bank credit agreement and the outstanding notes and
debentures contain various provisions which, among other things, require the
Company to maintain a defined leverage ratio and limit the incurrence of certain
liens or encumbrances in excess of defined amounts. These requirements currently
are not, and it is not anticipated they will become, restrictive on the
Company's liquidity or capital resources.

NOTE E - PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the Ouachita acquisition, the Company issued shares of voting
convertible preferred stock, Series A and Series B. As of June 27, 1997, all
outstanding preferred stock had been converted into common stock.
During the first six months of 1997, the holders of Series A preferred stock
converted 881,014 shares into 2,525,064 shares of common stock, completing the
conversions of all issued shares of Series A preferred stock into 2,768,324
shares of common stock. Also during the first six months of 1997, the holders of
Series B preferred stock converted 17 shares into 56 shares of common stock,
completing the conversions of all issued shares of Series B preferred stock into
555,083 shares of common stock. Additional paid-in capital increased in the
first six months of 1997 by approximately $95 million, the difference between
the recorded value of the converted preferred stock and the cost of treasury
stock issued. The decrease in treasury stock in the first six months of 1997 of
approximately $40 million resulted from these conversions.
NOTE F - INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rates for the first six months of 1997 and 1996 were
39% and 42%, respectively. A reconciliation of the income tax provision at the
statutory federal rate to the Company's actual income tax provision follows (in

NOTE G - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS (Continued)
The Company made additional grants in first-quarter 1997 of 7,500 stock options
to each non-employee member of the Board of Directors. These options vest solely
upon attainment of specified increases in the Company's common stock within five
years from the date of grant.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company made grants of 405,000 shares of
restricted common stock to certain officers of the Company. These awards vest
generally only upon attainment of specified increases in the market price of the
Company's common stock within five years from the date of grant and after
continued employment for a period of up to five years once the stock performance
criterion has been met.
As of the end of the second quarter of 1997, the stock performance criterion had
been achieved for all outstanding 1996 performance stock options and 1996
restricted stock awards, and for 1,418,000 of the 1997 performance stock options
and for 162,000 of the 1997 restricted stock awards.
NOTE H - EARNINGS PER SHARE
On April 21, 1997, the Company's share owners approved an amendment to the
Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized common shares
from 500 million to 1 billion and to effect a 3-for-1 stock split effective for
share owners of record on May 1, 1997. As a result of the 3-for-1 stock split,
common stock was adjusted to stated par value by an increase to common stock and
a decrease to additional paid-in capital of $295 million. For periods prior to
the effective date of the stock split, outstanding shares and per share data
contained in this report have been restated to reflect the impact of the split.
In the first quarter of 1997, dividends in the amount of $0.025 per common share
were declared for share owners of record on April 1, 1997. After the 3-for-1
stock split, quarterly dividends for share owners of record on July 1, 1997 were
also declared in the amount of $0.025 per common share. Dividends are at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", issued during first-quarter 1997, is effective for the year ended 1997

NOTE J - CONTINGENCIES
In North America, the Company purchases PET (plastic) bottles from manufacturing
cooperatives involved in the manufacture of plastic bottles. The Company has
guaranteed payment of up to $234 million of indebtedness owed by these
manufacturing cooperatives to third parties. At June 27, 1997, these
cooperatives had approximately $140 million of indebtedness guaranteed by the
Company. The Company has also issued letters of credit aggregating approximately
$107 million in connection with self-insurance programs.
The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for the
costs of hazardous waste remediation at federal and 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 Company's use in relation
to other users. As to any site where the Company may be liable, the Company has
determined there are other PRPs who are financially solvent as well, and that
any hazardous waste deposited by the Company is minimal when compared to amounts
deposited by financially solvent PRPs. The Company believes any ultimate
liability under these PRP designations will not have a materially adverse effect
on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
At June 27, 1997, there were five federal sites and one state site for which the
Company's involvement or liability as a PRP was unresolved. In addition, there
were 17 other federal and seven state sites at which it had been concluded the
Company either had no responsibility, the ultimate liability amounts would be
less than $100,000 or payments made to date by the Company would be sufficient
to satisfy all liability of the Company.
NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 31, 1997, the United Kingdom's income tax rate was reduced from 33% to
31% retroactively effective April 1, 1997. The impact of this rate change is a
reduction of deferred tax liabilities associated with the Company's operations
in the United Kingdom by approximately $58 million or $0.15 per common share.
The effect of this deferred tax liability reduction will be shown as a credit
in the income tax provision in the third quarter of 1997.
Additionally, the Company anticipates an increase in performance-based
stock compensation amortization expense of approximately $35 million ($0.05 per
common share after tax) in the third quarter of 1997 from the acceleration of
vesting assumptions on the Company's performance-based stock compensation
plans. The Company's stock price has increased by approximately 35% in the
month of July 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
BUSINESS SUMMARY
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (the Company) is the world's largest marketer,
distributor, and producer of bottled and canned liquid nonalcoholic
refreshments. In the United States, we operate through exclusive and perpetual
rights in franchise territories distributing approximately 58% of The Coca-Cola
Company's bottle and can product sales. We are also the sole licensed bottler
for products of The Coca-Cola Company in Belgium, Great Britain, the
Netherlands, and most of France.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
To ensure a continued focus on building share-owner value, we have defined the
following objectives and strategies.
Our primary operating objective is to increase long-term operating cash flows
through profitable increases in sales volume. We plan to achieve our operating
objective through the continued execution of the following key strategies:
- Creating and executing innovative and superior marketing programs at
the local level.
- Balancing volume growth with improved margins and sustainable
increases in market share.
- Developing profitable business partnerships with our customers.
- Integrating our international and domestic acquisitions to capitalize
on opportunities in various markets and channels.
- Structuring our compensation plans to help focus our employees on
enhancing share-owner value.
Our primary financial objective is to deliver a superior investment return to
our share owners. We strive to achieve this objective through the continued
implementation and execution of the following key strategies:
- Allocating resources appropriately between capital expenditures,
investment in personnel and infrastructure, acquisitions, share
repurchases, and debt repayment.
- Maintaining a capital structure which maximizes our financial
flexibility, given current investment opportunities.
- Continuing to evaluate acquisition opportunities that will result in
long-term value.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
OVERVIEW
Our second-quarter performance reflects our ability to maximize domestic
performance in light of the highly competitive pricing environment in the United
States combined with particularly strong performance by our European operations.
Consolidated cash operating profit, or net income before deducting interest,
taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other nonoperating expenses, reached $524
million in the second quarter of 1997, 58% ahead of reported second-quarter 1996
results, and 9% above comparable second-quarter 1996 performance. Our
performance in the first six months of 1997 leads us to believe our targeted 9%
full-year 1997 growth in currency-neutral comparable cash operating profit is
still attainable. The reported cash operating profit growth rate is affected by
the significant number of acquisitions completed in 1996 and 1997.
We expect the full-year 1997 reported cash operating profit margin to improve
compared to reported and comparable 1996 results. However, full-year 1997 pretax
and net income margins should decline slightly from reported 1996 results
because of the effect of incremental stock-based compensation expense and the
financing costs of our pending acquisitions. Lower cost of sales per case
combined with the decline in selling, delivery, and administrative costs as a
percent of net revenues, generated higher second-quarter 1997 gross profit,
operating income, and cash operating profit margins than those of comparable
second-quarter 1996.
Consistent with our financial objectives discussed previously, we recently
announced our intentions to acquire three bottling operations we believe will
add long-term value for our share owners.
On August 7, 1997, the Company announced its acquisition of The Coca-Cola
Company's 48% interest in Coca-Cola Beverages Ltd. (Coke Canada) and their 49%
interest in The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York, Inc. (Coke New York).
In addition, the Company intends to make an offer to acquire the remaining 52%
of Coke Canada held by the public. The Company is seeking to acquire the stock
of Coke New York currently held by private investors. It is anticipated
that all aspects of this acquisition will close by the end of third-quarter
1997.
Additionally, on July 21, 1997, the Company announced the signing of a letter of
understanding to acquire the Coca-Cola bottling operations in Luxembourg. The
Company will acquire the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute products
of The Coca-Cola Company in this territory for a transaction value (purchase
price and acquired debt, net of cash acquired) of approximately $20 million,
based on current exchange rates. This transaction is expected to close by early
1998.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
In the opinion of management, cash operating profit is one of the key standards
for measuring our operating performance. Cash operating profit (COP) is used as
a supplement to, and not an alternative to, operating income as an indicator of
operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity, both of which are defined and required by
generally accepted accounting principles.
-15-
<PAGE> 18
Management believes, due to the Company's significant acquisition activity in
1996 and 1997, comparable results are better indicators of current operating
trends. Comparable operating results, including cash operating profit, are
determined by adjusting reported performance for the following: (i) to include
1996 results of significant acquisitions for the same periods included in 1997
reported results, (ii) to exclude the first-quarter 1996 favorable supplier
settlement, and (iii) to exclude the first-quarter 1997 charge for the early
redemption of debentures. In addition to comparison adjustments for acquisitions
and one-time items, volume information has also been adjusted for common fiscal
periods.
The tables below summarize changes in key operating information on a reported
and comparable basis for the second quarter of 1997 and the first six months of
1997.

Our strong second-quarter 1997 performance was led by our European group which
exceeded the 9% consolidated growth. This confirmed our original expectations
that the 1997 growth from our European territories would outpace our domestic
operations. In line with our financial objectives, we have invested in our
operations to expand our geographic and channel diversity to capitalize on
opportunities in various markets and channels. In 1997, this diversity has been
a key factor in our ability to deliver consistent growth especially given the
highly competitive pricing environment in the United States.

</TABLE>
As expected, comparable second-quarter 1997 volume growth in our North American
and European territories slowed significantly from first-quarter rates because
of strong prior year results across our territories and unfavorable weather
conditions in many locations during the second quarter of 1997.
The Domestic results were driven by growth in brands of The Coca-Cola Company
with particularly strong increases in Sprite, Coca-Cola classic, Barq's, Nestea
Cool, and the continued introduction of Surge. In the United States, can and
20-ounce packaging reflected the largest growth in cases during the second
quarter of 1997. On a comparable basis, second-quarter 1997 volume in our
European territories did not change significantly.
-16-
<PAGE> 19
Our European operations represented 28% of the total physical case volume
reported in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 4% of the reported volume in
second-quarter 1996. In the first six months of 1997, the European territories
represented 25% of the total bottle and can volume reported compared to 4% of
the reported volume in the first six months of 1996. The 1997 year-to-date
volume contribution from the European territories is lower than the
second quarter 1997 contribution because the British bottler was purchased in
February 1997. In the second half of 1997, the European territories' volume
contribution is expected to approximate 28%.

</TABLE>
The Company's second-quarter and year-to-date 1997 net operating revenues
reached $2.9 billion and $5 billion, respectively. In the second quarter of
1997, approximately 69% of total revenues were produced by our operations in
North America with the remaining 31% generated by the Company's European group.
Only 28% of total net operating revenues for the first half of 1997 was
generated by our European operations because the British bottler was not
acquired until February 10, 1997. The decline in comparable second-quarter 1997
net revenues per case is a reflection of the highly competitive pricing
environment in North America, a continuation from first-quarter 1997.
The unfavorable effect from currency translations contributed one percentage
point to the comparable quarterly and year-to-date decreases in net revenues per
case and cost of sales per case.
The decreases in comparable cost of sales per case for both the second quarter
and first six months of 1997 result from cost decreases in packaging and high
fructose corn syrup. Reported cost of sales per case increased for the first
six months of 1997 and second-quarter 1997 primarily due to the higher net
pricing and packaging and ingredient costs for the Company's European
operations.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
At the April 21, 1997 annual meeting of share owners, a 3-for-1 stock split was
approved for share owners of record on May 1, 1997 and authorized common shares
were increased from 500 million to 1 billion.
In second-quarter 1997, the Company generated net earnings from operations of
$0.29 per common share as compared to reported and comparable second-quarter
1996 earnings of $0.15 per common share and $0.23 per common share, after
adjusting for the 1997 3-for-1 stock split. The growth in second-quarter 1997
earnings per share is a result of favorable operating performance combined with
lower net interest expense.
-17-
<PAGE> 20
In the first half of 1997, the Company produced net earnings from operations of
$0.20 per common share compared to reported year-to-date 1996 results, adjusted
for the 3-for-1 stock split, of $0.17 per common share. Six-month 1997 earnings
per share include (i) a first-quarter one-time charge of $6 million ($0.01 per
common share after tax) for the redemption of $142 million in 8.75% Debentures
due 2017 and (ii) an increase in noncash selling, delivery, and administrative
expenses for certain stock-based compensation plans because the market price of
the Company's stock increased approximately 25% in first-quarter 1997.
We do not believe currency exchange rates will have a significant impact on our
reported full-year 1997 earnings per share. Our currency risk is generally
limited to translation risk because we expect to reinvest cash flows from
international operations back into those local operations or use them to reduce
local indebtedness. Additionally, we have financed our international
acquisitions with currency hedged or foreign denominated debt to limit our
translation risk exposure.
SELLING, DELIVERY, AND ADMINISTRATIVE
In second-quarter 1997, consolidated selling, delivery, and administrative
expenses as a percent of net operating revenues declined slightly from
comparable second-quarter 1996 results. Year-to-date 1997 selling, delivery, and
administrative expenses as a percent of net operating revenues reflected a
slight increase over the same comparable prior-year period. The increase is due
to the incremental costs associated with stock-based compensation reported in
the first quarter of 1997.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Second-quarter 1997 net interest expense increased significantly from reported
second-quarter 1996 levels due to the higher average debt balances resulting
from the 1996 and 1997 acquisitions. The weighted average interest rate for the
second quarter of 1997 was 6.9% compared to 7.2% for full-year 1996 and 7.4% in
the second quarter of 1996.
Our second-quarter 1997 interest expense was $127 million compared to $146
million in comparable second-quarter 1996 results. This difference is primarily
attributable to the actual weighted average cost of debt of 6.9% compared to the
assumed 7.5% weighted average cost of debt used in computing comparable
second-quarter 1996 results.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The Company's effective tax rates for the second quarter of 1997 and 1996 were
39% and 42%, respectively. The reduction in the Company's second-quarter 1997
effective tax rate is a result of the favorable effect of our expanded
operations in Europe combined with current expectations for higher pretax
profits in 1997.
-18-
<PAGE> 21
CURRENT EVENTS
On July 31, 1997, the United Kingdom's income tax rate was reduced from 33% to
31% retroactively effective April 1, 1997. The impact of this rate change is a
reduction of deferred tax liabilities associated with the Company's operations
in the United Kingdom by approximately $58 million or $0.15 per common share.
The effect of this deferred tax liability reduction will be shown as a credit
in the income tax provision in the third quarter of 1997.
The Company's market price of its common stock has increased by approximately
35% in the month of July 1997. The Company anticipates an additional increase in
performance-based stock compensation amortization expense of approximately $35
million ($0.05 per common share after tax) in the third quarter of 1997 from
the acceleration of vesting assumptions on the Company's performance-based
stock compensation plans.
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. We believe that short-term and long-term capital resources available
to us are more than sufficient to fund our capital expenditure and working
capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest and income tax
obligations, dividends to our share owners, acquisitions, and plans for share
repurchases.
For long-term financing needs, we have available approximately $2.3 billion in
debt securities for issuance under a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. We satisfy seasonal working capital needs and other
financing requirements with bank borrowings and short-term borrowings under our
commercial paper program. Additionally, we have a $1.5 billion multicurrency
revolving bank credit agreement maturing in November 2001 and a $1 billion
short-term credit facility. An aggregate $897 million in commercial paper
borrowings and $979 million in foreign-denominated borrowings supported by these
agreements was outstanding at June 27, 1997. We also have short-term
foreign-denominated credit facilities aggregating $746 million for our
international operations, of which $275 million was outstanding at June 27,
1997.
At the end of second-quarter 1997, the Company's debt portfolio was 56% fixed
rate debt and 44% floating rate debt. The majority of the floating rate debt is
in foreign-denominated debt. The Company intends to continue to refinance
borrowings under its commercial paper program and its foreign-denominated credit
facilities with longer-term fixed and floating rate financings. Additionally, we
anticipate our debt portfolio to become more fixed as we execute fixed rate,
longer-term debt to replace the short-term floating rate debt currently used to
finance most of our recent international acquisitions.
SUMMARY OF CASH ACTIVITIES
Cash and cash investments decreased $16 million during the first half of 1997.
Our principal sources of cash for the first half of 1997 consisted of those
provided by operations of $263 million and proceeds from the issuance of debt
aggregating $1.5 billion. Our primary uses of cash were for capital expenditures
totaling $416 million, long-term debt payments totaling $321 million, and
acquisitions of bottling businesses for a cash cost, net of cash acquired, of
approximately $1 billion.
-19-
<PAGE> 22
Operating Activities: Operating activities resulted in $263 million of net cash
provided during the first half of 1997 in comparison to $418 million provided by
operations in second-quarter 1996. The higher depreciation expense in 1997
results from the effects of increased capital spending and the effects of the
1996 and 1997 acquisitions. Increased amortization reflects increased franchise
amortization as a result of acquisitions and increased amortization of
performance-based restricted stock and stock options resulting from performance
of the Company's stock.
Investing Activities: Consistent with the increase in our first-quarter 1997
capital expenditures, the Company continues to expect full-year 1997 capital
expenditures to increase over full-year 1996. Full-year 1997 capital
expenditures are expected to be between $800 million and $900 million, excluding
any affects relating to the current pending acquisitions. This increase is
primarily attributable to the capital investments expected to be made by our
international operations.
Financing Activities: In February 1997 the Company purchased the Great Britain
bottler for a purchase price of approximately $2 billion. The acquisition was
initially financed through a combination of sellers' notes and short-term
borrowings. The Company expects to refinance portions of these borrowings with
longer-term fixed and floating rate financings.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company issued $150 million of 5.71% Notes due
March 18, 2037. Holders of these Notes may require the Company to repay the
notes after one year and every year thereafter.
Subsequent to the second quarter of 1997, the Company issued (i) $250 million of
6.375% Notes due August 1, 2001, (ii) $200 million of 6.625% Notes due
August 1, 2004, and (iii) $300 million of 7.125% Debentures due August 1, 2017.
FINANCIAL POSITION REVIEW
Overall, the Company's increase in total assets and total liabilities from
December 31, 1996 to June 27, 1997 is primarily attributable to the acquisition
of the British bottler. The increase in franchises and other noncurrent assets
is also a direct result of the franchise asset acquired in the acquisition of
the British bottler. The increase in property, plant, and equipment results from
capital expenditures of approximately $416 million in the first half of 1997 and
the acquisition of the British bottler. The increase in long-term debt and the
increase in deferred income taxes also results from the acquisition of the
British bottler. As a result of the 3-for-1 stock split, common stock was
adjusted to stated par value by an increase to common stock and a decrease to
additional paid-in capital of $295 million.
Activities in currency markets resulted in a decrease in the cumulative
translation adjustment of $44 million in the first half of 1997. As currency
exchange rates fluctuate, translation of the statements of income for our
international businesses into U.S. dollars will affect the comparability of
revenues and expenses between periods. During the first half of 1996, the
Company primarily operated in U.S. dollars and the Dutch florin and in 1997,
the Company operates in a multicurrency environment.

KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
YEAR 2000 COMPUTER CONVERSION
The Company has been in the process of identifying the business issues that will
arise with the upcoming arrival of the year 2000 that may directly impact
information systems. Many information system applications process dates in
application software and data files based on storing two digits for the year of
a transaction rather than a full four digits. Most of these information systems
do not incorporate specific logic for addressing dates in the year 2000.
Information systems and other control systems/processes that do not take into
account the year 2000 may not operate appropriately.
We have identified a team of professionals with the responsibility for
addressing business issues relating to the year 2000 conversion. This team
includes company employees and individuals outside the Company with appropriate
professional experience. We have not quantified the anticipated costs of this
project or our exposure for any contingencies associated with implementation
issues.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share", was issued during the first quarter of 1997 and is effective for the
year ending December 31, 1997. Earlier application of the statement is not
permitted. The statement modifies the method of calculating net income per share
applicable to common share owners and also requires a reconciliation in the
footnotes to the financial statements between basic and diluted per-share
amounts. This statement is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's net income per share applicable to common share owners.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", during June 1997. SFAS No. 130 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997, although early adoption is permitted.
This statement requires that companies present a total for comprehensive income
in a financial statement. Comprehensive income includes both net income and
items of other comprehensive income such as currency translation adjustments.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the manner by which this statement
will be adopted. This statement is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements.
In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" which is effective beginning in fiscal year
1998, but may be adopted earlier. The statement requires that a public business
enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about
which separate operating information is available and is evaluated regularly by
management. The statement also requires the disclosure of certain information
about the countries in which the enterprise earns revenue and holds assets and
about major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not have a material
impact on the Company. The Company operates in one reportable segment: the
marketing, distribution, and production of bottle and can nonalcoholic
refreshments.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Certain expectations and projections regarding future performance of the Company
referenced in this report are forward-looking statements involving risks and
uncertainties. These expectations and projections are based on currently
available competitive, financial, and economic data, along with the Company's
operating plans, and are subject to future events and uncertainties. Among the
events and uncertainties which could adversely affect 1997 results are lower
than expected net pricing resulting from marketplace competition, an inability
to meet performance requirements for expected levels of marketing support
payments from our franchise companies, material changes from expectations in the
cost of raw materials and ingredients, an inability to achieve the expected
timing for returns on cold drink equipment expenditures, and unfavorable
interest rate and currency fluctuations. We caution readers that in addition to
the above cautionary statements, all forward-looking statements contained herein
should be read in conjunction with the detailed cautionary statements found on
