(a) To determine the comparable change, 1997 results have been adjusted to
    reflect 1998 currency translation rates and include the results of 
    material 1997 acquisitions as if they occurred on January 1, 1997.  1998 
    results have been adjusted to exclude the Coke Southwest acquisition.
(b) To determine the comparable change for bottle and can volume and fountain
    volume, 1998 acquisitions are included for the same period in 1997 as 
    reported in 1998.
(c) To determine comparable forth-quarter results for the change in volume and
    cash operating profit, 1997 results have been adjusted to include the same
    number of fiscal days as 1998.
