(a) To determine the comparable change, 1996 results have been adjusted to
    include the results of material 1996 and 1997 acquisitions for the same
    periods they are included in reported 1997 results and to exclude the
    first-quarter 1996 favorable supplier settlement.
(b) Comparable cash operating profit is determined as described in (a) with
    an adjustment to exclude the reported results of the New York and Canadian
    bottler.
(c) To determine the 1997 comparable volume change, 1996 volume results have
    been adjusted for both acquisitions and common fiscal periods.
