---------- Unconsolidated
Southwest Coke and its subsidiaries and San Antonio Coke are principally
engaged in bottling, canning and distributing carbonated soft drinks. Their
soft drink operations are conducted pursuant to franchise agreements with
companies owning the rights to various soft drink formulae and trademarks,
including principally The Coca-Cola Company (an unaffiliated company) and Dr
Pepper Company. These franchises grant to Southwest Coke and San
2
<PAGE>
Antonio Coke the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute certain
trademarked soft drink products in specified territories. Territories
franchised to Southwest Coke by The Coca-Cola Company cover regions which had
an aggregate population of 2.3 million in the 1990 Census and encompass
substantial portions of North and West Texas, including the cities of
Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, Midland, Odessa and Wichita Falls, substantial
portions of western Oklahoma, the eastern half of New Mexico and adjacent
areas of Colorado and Kansas. The Dr Pepper franchises held by Southwest
Coke include substantially the same territories as the Coca-Cola franchises,
other than the Abilene, Midland-Odessa and Wichita Falls areas.
Both Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke are franchisees for products of
a number of other companies in various parts of their respective territories.
Other products bottled and/or distributed include Canada Dry mixers, Evian
water, Hershey's, Squirt and Big Red. San Antonio Coke generally produces
and distributes the same brands of soft drinks as Southwest Coke. In May and
June of 1996, Southwest Coke added Sprite, Barq's Root Beer and Minute Maid
flavors in territories where it has previously distributed Seven-Up, A&W and
Welch's products.
Automated & Custom Food Services, Inc. ("ACFS"), an operating division
of the Company, in North and East Texas, and Southwest Coke and San Antonio
Coke in their respective franchise areas, also operate food service
businesses in which soft drinks and food products are sold through vending
machines, cafeterias and catering operations.
On June 25, 1994, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired the
assets of a catering and hospitality management business operated by The Dani
Group, Inc. in the Dallas, Texas area.
The Company is a Nevada corporation originally organized under Texas law
in 1972. Its executive offices are located at 1999 Bryan Street, Suite 3300,
Dallas, Texas, 75201, and its telephone number is (214) 969-1910.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Carbonated soft drinks are the most consumed beverages in the United
States, ahead of tap and bottled water, coffee and beer. Industry retail
sales volume for 1995 is estimated to have been in excess of $52 billion,
which is believed to be approximately 28.5% of the beverage market based on
consumption. Per capita consumption of soft drinks is estimated to have been
52.1 gallons in 1995, as compared to 41.0 gallons in 1985, representing a
compound annual increase of 2.4% since 1985. The only other segment of the
beverage market in which per capita consumption has shown any significant
increase since 1985 is bottled water, although its share of the beverage
market is estimated to have been only 5.4% in 1995. The following table
shows the per capita consumption in gallons, market share and compound growth
rate for products in the U.S. beverage market since 1985, according to
information recently compiled and revised by an industry trade magazine:

Factors that appear to be significant contributors to increased
consumption of soft drinks are (i) increased health consciousness coupled
with improvements in the taste of diet soft drinks and the introduction of
caffeine free and low sodium soft drink products; (ii) societal and
governmental pressures to reduce consumption of alcoholic beverages; (iii)
peaking consumption by the baby boom age group; and (iv) heavy promotional
and advertising activity by the soft drink industry to broaden the appeal and
consumer acceptance of soft drinks. As a result, consumers have tended to
maintain or increase their soft drink consumption as they age, and each age
group in the United States population is consuming greater amounts of soft
drinks per capita than its corresponding age group at any time in the past.
During 1995, products of The Coca-Cola Company accounted for 41.9% of
national soft drink sales in the United States, followed by products of
PepsiCo, Inc. with 31.0% of sales. Products of Dr Pepper Company accounted
for 7.2% of national soft drink sales in 1995. Of national sales of diet
soft drinks in 1995, products of The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Inc. and Dr
Pepper Company accounted for 46.2%, 27.1% and 4.4%, respectively.
Supermarkets and other retail "home market" accounts remain the predominant
distribution channel, followed by on-premise consumption (fountain) volume
and "single drink" sales, primarily through vending machines.
SOFT DRINK PRODUCTS
Carbonated soft drink products of The Coca-Cola Company produced and
distributed by Southwest Coke include Coca-Cola Classic, diet Coke, Cherry
Coke, diet Cherry Coke, TAB, Sprite, diet Sprite, Mr. PiBB, Mello-Yello,
Minute Maid orange soda, Fresca, Barq's and other brands. Non-carbonated
products of The Coca-Cola Company distributed by Southwest Coke include
PowerAde, Nestea, Fruitopia and Minute Maid Juices to Go. Southwest Coke
also produces and distributes products of Dr Pepper Company in most of its
territories other than in and around Abilene, Midland-Odessa and Wichita
Falls, Texas. Various other products, including Canada Dry mixers, Squirt,
Big Red and Evian water, are produced and/or distributed in various parts of
Southwest Coke's territories under franchise agreements with the companies
that own the trademarks and supply the concentrates or finished products for
those beverages. San Antonio Coke generally produces and distributes the
same brands of soft drinks as Southwest Coke. Southwest Coke and San Antonio
Coke have historically provided contract packaging services producing private
label beverages for major retail customers, but discontinued these services
in 1996. San Antonio Coke also produces and distributes its own proprietary
private label products.
The following table sets forth Southwest Coke's and San Antonio Coke's
total equivalent case sales of The Coca-Cola Company and Dr Pepper Company
products as a percentage of each company's total soft drink equivalent case

SOFT DRINK FRANCHISES
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke hold franchise and marketing
agreements from The Coca-Cola Company to produce and distribute its soft
drinks in bottles, cans and 4.75-gallon pressurized pre-mix containers, and
to engage in certain other marketing activities. Under the terms of the
franchise agreements, Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke have the exclusive
right to produce and distribute certain products of The Coca-Cola Company in
their prescribed geographic areas, except for fountain syrup, for which the
rights are non-exclusive. In addition,
4
<PAGE>
the franchise agreements specify minimum levels of marketing expenditures by
The Coca-Cola Company in support of the bottler based upon the volume sold by
that bottler. Marketing expenditures by The Coca-Cola Company in support of
the activities of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke have routinely exceeded
the minimum levels. None of the Company, Southwest Coke, TBG or San Antonio
Coke, and none of their affiliates, has any legal relationship with The
Coca-Cola Company or any other franchisor other than pursuant to their
respective franchise and marketing agreements. The Company believes that
Southwest Coke, its subsidiaries and San Antonio Coke are currently in
compliance with all of the terms of their franchise agreements.
The Coca-Cola Company is the sole owner of the secret formulae under
which the primary component (concentrate or syrup) of various cola products
bearing the trademark "Coca-Cola" are manufactured. Each concentrate, when
mixed with water and sweetener, produces syrup, which, when mixed with
carbonated water, produces one of the soft drinks bearing the trademark
"Coca-Cola" or "Coke." In most instances, Southwest Coke and San Antonio
Coke currently produce their own syrup by mixing concentrate purchased from
The Coca-Cola Company with sweeteners purchased from outside sources. Except
to the extent reflected in the price of concentrate or syrup, no royalty or
other compensation is paid under the franchise agreements to The Coca-Cola
Company for the right of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke to use the trade
names and trademarks "Coca-Cola" and "Coke" in their territories and the
associated patents, copyrights, designs and labels, all of which are owned by
The Coca-Cola Company.
Under the terms of their franchise agreements with The Coca-Cola Company
(the "Coca-Cola Bottler's Contract"), Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke are
required to purchase either concentrate or syrup manufactured only by The
Coca-Cola Company for Coca-Cola trademarked cola products. The concentrate
or syrup is sold to Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke at a base price
established in 1978 and adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in the
Consumer Price Index and, in the case of diet brands, changes in the price of
sweeteners. The Coca-Cola Bottler's Contract will remain in effect for an
unlimited period of time, subject to termination upon due notice by The
Coca-Cola Company that there has been a violation of any of the prescribed
terms thereof and subject to automatic termination if Southwest Coke or San
Antonio Coke is placed in receivership or becomes bankrupt. Franchise
agreements for other products of The Coca-Cola Company are issued either for
ten-year periods renewable on the same terms at the option of Southwest Coke
and San Antonio Coke or in perpetuity subject to certain requirements.
The franchise agreements relating to soft drink products from Dr Pepper
Company and other significant soft drink franchisors are granted in
perpetuity and are otherwise similar to the Coca-Cola Bottler's Contract,
except that they contain change of control provisions triggered by the sale
of the stock of the franchisee, certain marketing-related performance
requirements and provisions permitting the franchisor to unilaterally set
from time to time the price of concentrate and syrup. Except for territories
not covered by Dr Pepper franchise agreements, the territories covered by the
franchise agreements for products of other franchisors generally correspond
with the territories covered by the Coca-Cola Bottler's Contract.
The franchise agreements with The Coca-Cola Company permit limited
production of cola products other than those of The Coca-Cola Company, either
as a contract packer or for the bottler's distribution if such products are
not more than 33% of a flavor line that does not exceed 10% of the bottler's
soft drink sales. There are no competitive product restrictions in franchise
agreements for non-cola products of The Coca-Cola Company, such as Sprite,
Mr. PiBB and Fresca, but The Coca-Cola Company prohibits distribution of
products that compete with PowerAde, Nestea, Fruitopia and Minute Maid Juices
To Go, which are distributed under temporary agreements. The franchise
agreements with Dr Pepper Company and most other soft drink franchisors
prohibit the manufacture or sale of similar flavor products that are
competitive with the licensed products.

<PAGE>
SOFT DRINK MARKETING
During 1996, approximately 84% of Southwest Coke's and 87% of San
Antonio Coke's total equivalent case sales of soft drink products were sold
to the "home market" through supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience
stores, mass-merchandisers, drug stores, liquor stores and other similar
retail outlets. The remaining soft drink equivalent case sales were made to
the "single drink" market, which consists primarily of sales for immediate
consumption through various types of vending machines owned by Southwest
Coke, San Antonio Coke, retail outlets or third-party vending companies.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke maintain approximately 234 and 243
routes, respectively, for which the route drivers are primarily responsible
for marketing, servicing and delivering products to retail and vending
machine accounts. Advance sales also are made by sales persons who both call
on and make telephone solicitations to accounts, which are then serviced and
delivered by the route drivers.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke sell soft drink products in a
variety of returnable glass and non-returnable glass and plastic bottles and
in cans in proportions varying from territory to territory. Within a single
geographic territory, there may be as many as 14 different packages for
Coca-Cola products, in addition to pre-mix containers and post-mix syrup
packages.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke have used competitive techniques,
such as new product introductions, packaging changes and sales promotions, to
compete effectively, while managing discounts and allowances for their
products to maximize net revenues. Some of the more significant strategies
employed in managing discounts and allowances have been the introduction of
new packaging, the adoption of innovative marketing programs and, in some
instances, the development of a proprietary brand to pursue a particular
market niche.
Both Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke spend substantial amounts on
extensive local sales promotions of their soft drink products. These
advertising and promotional expenses are partially offset by marketing funds
provided by the various franchisors to support an array of marketing
programs. Advertising allowances from the franchisors have historically
increased as Southwest Coke's and San Antonio Coke's sales of the
franchisors' brands have increased. Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke
benefit from television and radio advertising in the marketing of their soft
drinks, and The Coca-Cola Company and Dr Pepper Company have made substantial
expenditures in cooperative advertising programs with Southwest Coke and/or
San Antonio Coke in their territories.
Southwest Coke's sales and operating income fluctuate with the seasons
of the year, with sales and earnings higher in warm weather months (May
through October) than in colder months (November through April). Sales are
also higher during holiday periods such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.
Approximately 21.4% of the Company's 1996 net revenues were derived from
its five largest customers, all of which were either chain supermarkets,
chain convenience stores or wholesale clubs. No single customer accounted
for more than 10% of net revenues during 1996.
COMPETITION
The beverage business is highly competitive. Soft drink products, both
carbonated and non-carbonated, are sold in competition with water, coffee,
milk and beer as well as with fruit drinks and fruit juices in a variety of
outlets from supermarkets to restaurants. Competitors in the soft drink
industry include bottlers and distributors of nationally advertised and
marketed products, as well as chain store and private label soft drinks. The
principal methods of competition in the soft drink industry include brand
recognition, price and price promotion, retail space management, service to
the retail trade, new product introductions, packaging changes, distribution
methods and advertising. Management of the Company believes that brand
recognition is the primary factor affecting the
6
<PAGE>
competitive positions of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke, which is
enhanced by the well-known trademarks associated with their soft drink
products.
The major national-brand competitors of Southwest Coke and San Antonio
Coke are bottlers of Pepsi-Cola products, including Pepsi-Cola Company Owned
Bottling Operations and independent Pepsi-Cola bottlers. San Antonio Coke's
largest competitor is a grocery chain that distributes private label soft
drinks. Reliable, relevant data is not available to measure Southwest Coke's
and San Antonio Coke's total share of sales in the beverage market. However,
information based on sales of national brand soft drink products in
supermarkets and other grocery stores indicates that each of Southwest Coke's
and San Antonio Coke's share of such sales exceeds the share of its
respective Pepsi bottler competitor in all of its territories.
RAW MATERIALS
In addition to concentrates obtained from The Coca-Cola Company and
other franchisors, Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke also purchase water,
carbon dioxide, fructose, glass and plastic bottles, cans, closures and other
packaging materials for use in soft drink manufacturing. There are multiple
suppliers available for all of these raw materials other than concentrates.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke do not directly purchase low-calorie
sweeteners because they are contained in the beverage concentrate. When
feasible, Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke coordinate their raw materials
purchases, particularly aluminum cans and sweeteners, to take advantage of
volume discounts and concessions.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke purchase substantially all of their
empty plastic bottles (in sizes ranging from twenty ounces to three liters)
from Western Container Corporation ("Western Container"), a plastic bottle
manufacturing cooperative owned by certain bottlers of Coca-Cola, of which
both Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke are members and collectively own
42.6%. During 1993, Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke each entered into
five-year supply agreements with Western Container. The agreements require
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke to pay a maximum amount per calendar
quarter of $102,218 and $232,704, respectively, reduced by $10 per 1,000
contour style and sixteen-ounce, twenty-ounce and one-liter generic style
plastic bottles purchased during the same calendar quarter. At the end of
each successive four quarters, the credit due Southwest Coke or San Antonio
Coke is determined on a twelve-month basis, and in the event the quantities
purchased exceed the volume required to eliminate the obligation to make
quarterly payments during the twelve-month period, any payments made under
the contract during such period are refunded. Applicable purchases from
Western Container in 1996 by each of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke
exceeded the minimum purchase requirements necessary to eliminate payments
under each respective contract.
FOOD SERVICE OPERATIONS
Food service operations are conducted by each of Southwest Coke and San
Antonio Coke in their soft drink franchise territories and, in addition, by
ACFS and The Dani Group, Inc. ("Dani") in North and East Texas. The food
service operations of Southwest Coke are conducted under the trade name
"Refreshments Vending," while the food service operations of San Antonio Coke
are conducted under the trade name "Snappy Snack." Food service items are
sold primarily through soft drink and other vending machines, but
distribution is also made through speed lines (limited item self-serve
cafeteria format), cafeterias, office coffee services and catering services.
These operations supply a complete line of hot and cold food products, as
well as soft drinks, to a variety of locations, including industrial plants,
offices, hospitals, schools and government installations.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The production, distribution and sale of many of the products of
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke are subject to the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; the Lanham Act;
7
<PAGE>
various Federal environmental statutes and various other federal and state
statutes regulating the franchising, production, sale, safety, advertising,
labeling and ingredients of such products. Two soft drink product
ingredients, saccharin and aspartame, are regulated by the United States Food
and Drug Administration.
Bills are considered from time to time in various state legislatures
which would prohibit the sale of beverages unless a deposit is made for the
containers. Proposals have been introduced in certain states and localities
that would impose a special tax on beverages sold in non-returnable
containers as a means of encouraging the use of returnable containers. In
addition, various bills have been proposed and are currently under
consideration by Congress and various state legislatures which would require
consumers to make a deposit upon the purchase of beverages sold in
non-returnable containers. No such legislation is currently in effect and,
to the knowledge of management of the Company, none is currently under
consideration in state legislatures in any territories served by Southwest
Coke or San Antonio Coke other than a deposit bill introduced in the Texas
legislature which management believes is unlikely to be considered by the
legislature in its 1997 session.
Specific soft drink taxes have been proposed in some states for several
years although none have been adopted and, to the knowledge of management of the
Company, none is currently under consideration in any territories served by
Southwest Coke or San Antonio Coke.
Substantially all of the facilities of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke
are subject to federal, state and local statutes and regulations related to the
discharge of materials into the environment. Compliance with these laws has not
had, and management of the Company does not expect such compliance to have, any
material effect upon the capital expenditures, net income or competitive
position of those entities or of the Company.
The business of Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke, as exclusive
manufacturers and distributors of bottled and canned soft drink products of The
Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper Company and other soft drink franchisors within
specified geographic territories, are subject to federal and state antitrust
laws of general applicability. Under the Soft Drink Interbrand Competition Act
of 1980, soft drink bottlers such as Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke may
exercise an exclusive contractual right to manufacture, distribute and sell a
soft drink product in a geographic territory if the soft drink product is in
substantial and effective competition with other products of the same class in
the same market or markets. Management of the Company believes that there is
substantial and effective competition in each of the geographic territories in
which Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke operate.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996: (i) the Company had 14 full-time employees,
all of whom were administrative employees; (ii) Southwest Coke had 1,032
full-time employees, of whom 102 were administrative employees, 315 were
production, warehouse and transportation employees and 615 were sales,
marketing and distribution employees; (iii) San Antonio Coke had 1,227
full-time employees, of whom 128 were administrative employees, 344 were
production, warehouse and transportation employees and 755 were sales,
marketing and distribution employees; (iv) ACFS had 255 full-time employees,
of whom 28 were administrative employees, 60 were production, warehouse and
transportation employees and 167 were sales, marketing and distribution
employees; and (v) Dani had 83 full-time employees involved in its catering
operations. TBG has no employees, although 14 administrative employees of
the Company provide management services to TBG for which TBG pays a
management fee which in 1996 totaled $0.7 million. None of the employees of
the Company, TBG and their subsidiaries is covered currently by a collective
bargaining agreement. Management of the Company believes that employee
relations are satisfactory.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The principal properties of Southwest Coke, San Antonio Coke and ACFS
include production facilities, sales and distribution centers and administrative
offices. All real properties material to their operations are owned.
As of December 31, 1996, Southwest Coke operated 22 soft drink facilities,
including one administrative office, one production facility and 20 distribution
facilities. One of the facilities of Southwest Coke has been mortgaged to
secure debt of Southwest Coke in the aggregate principal amount, as of December
31, 1996, of approximately $18,000.
As of December 31, 1996, San Antonio Coke operated six soft drink
facilities, including one production facility, one combination production and
distribution facility and four distribution facilities. One of the facilities
of San Antonio Coke is leased and the rest are owned.
As of December 31, 1996, ACFS operated four distribution facilities, two of
which were leased, and operated one leased machine service facility, while The
Dani Group, Inc. operated two leased facilities. The headquarters office of the
Company is in a leased facility.
Management of the Company believes its production and distribution
facilities are all in good condition, are adequate for the Company's operations
as presently conducted, and provide sufficient capacity for increased
manufacturing and distribution in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company, Southwest Coke and its subsidiaries, TBG and San Antonio Coke
are defendants in a number of lawsuits which have arisen from the normal
operations of their businesses and involve alleged injuries from vehicle and
other accidents, work-related accidents, package failure and foreign matter in
bottles or cans or employment-related claims. These matters are defended by
various insurance carriers or are otherwise so limited in exposure that the risk
of loss in these matters is not material.
On September 9, 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") issued an order
dismissing the complaint filed by the FTC in 1988 against San Antonio Coke,
bringing to an end the FTC's efforts to force the divesture of Dr Pepper
licenses for a ten-county area around and including San Antonio, Texas held by
San Antonio Coke. This action by the FTC followed the June 1996 ruling by the
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversing and remanding the FTC's September 1994
divestiture order.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no established public trading market for the Company's Common
Stock. As of March 1, 1997, the Company had outstanding 100,000 shares of its
Common Stock held by one stockholder.
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if and
when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The Company's credit
agreement with its principal lenders and the Indenture pursuant to which the
Company issued its 9% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2003 restrict the amount of
dividends that may be paid.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(b) "EBITDA" represents, for any relevant period, net income (loss) plus
interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets,
amortization of other assets, gain or loss on sale of assets and other
non-cash expenses. EBITDA should not be construed to be an
alternative to operating income (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance. EBITDA is included because it is one
measure used by certain investors to determine the Company's operating
cash flow and historical ability to service its indebtedness. EBITDA
is not intended as an alternative to or a better indicator of
liquidity than cash flow from operations.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Prior year financial statements have been reclassified for consistency with
the current year.
Unit growth of soft drink sales is measured in equivalent case sales which
convert all wholesale bottle, can and pre-mix unit sales into a value of
equivalent cases of 192 ounces each. Unit sales of post-mix (12.2% of the
Company's net revenues) and contract bottling are not generally included in
discussions concerning unit sales volume as post-mix sales are essentially sales
of syrup and not of packaged products, and contract bottling is done as capacity
permits and does not represent branded products for the franchised territory.
Net revenues and gross profit for contract bottling are not significant in
relation to overall net revenues and gross profit for the Company. However, all
references to net revenues and gross profit include volumes for post-mix and
contract sales.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the Company increased 4.9% or $11.6 million
to $247.0 million in 1996. Soft drink net revenues increased 4.1% in 1996 over
1995 as a result of a 4.5% increase in equivalent case sales. Net revenues for
post-mix as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 12.2% in 1996 as
compared to 11.7% in 1995. Net revenues for ACFS increased in 1996 by
approximately 6.1% due to continued new account placements. Net revenues for
ACFS accounted for approximately 12.1% of total net revenue in 1996.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by 8.3% from $108.8 million to $117.8
million, primarily as a result of the increase in equivalent case sales noted
above as well as improvements resulting from price decreases in aluminum cans,
PET bottles and sweeteners which represent three of the four principal raw
materials used by the Company. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for
1996 was 47.7% compared to 46.2% for 1995. Gross profit for post-mix as a
percentage of total gross profit increased to 4.6% as compared to 4.5% in 1995.
11
<PAGE>
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 10.6%, or approximately $6.9 million, in 1996. Selling,
general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of net revenues to
29.2% in 1996 from 27.7% in 1995. Increased labor costs associated with the
equivalent case sales increase, higher group insurance costs, labor and other
expenses associated with an extensive vending machine placement initiative and
increased media and marketing expenses associated with new brand introductions
accounted for the large category increase.
OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above, and a $1.5 million increase in
depreciation and amortization, operating income for 1996 increased to $31.6
million, or 12.8% of net revenue, compared to $31.0 million, or 13.2% of net
revenue for 1995.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense decreased by $2.5 million for
1996 due primarily to interest rate decreases brought about by the Company's
refinancing activity in 1995, and reductions in outstanding debt due to
principal reduction.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY. TBG recorded net income
of $15.3 million in 1996, as compared to $28.5 million in 1995, of which the
Company's share was $7.5 million and $5.3 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. TBG's operating income increased by $0.1 million or .3% in 1996
over 1995.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
NET REVENUES. Net revenues for the Company increased by 5.2% or $11.6
million to $235.4 million in 1995. Soft drink net revenues increased 4.3% in
1995 over 1994 despite a 1.2% decrease in equivalent case sales. An increase in
the net effective selling price per equivalent case of 5.3% primarily accounted
for increases in soft drink net revenues. The Company increased selling prices
in 1995 in an effort to recoup significant cost increases for raw materials,
primarily aluminum cans. Net revenues for post-mix as a percentage of total net
revenues increased to 11.7% in 1995 as compared to 10.8% in 1994. Net revenues
for ACFS increased in 1995 by approximately 8.7% due to continued new account
placements. Net revenues for ACFS accounted for approximately 12% of total net
revenue in 1995.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by 2.7% from $105.9 million to $108.8
million, primarily as a result of the increase in revenues resulting from the
increase in net effective selling price noted above. Gross profit as a
percentage of net revenues for 1995 was 46.2% compared to 47.3% for 1994. Gross
profit for post-mix as a percentage of total gross profit increased to 4.5% in
1995 as compared to 3.5% in 1994.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 2.4%, or approximately $1.6 million, in 1995. Selling,
general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net revenues to
27.7% in 1995 from 28.5% in 1994.
OPERATING INCOME. As a result of the above, and a $0.5 million increase in
depreciation and amortization, operating income for 1995 increased to $31.0
million, or 13.2% of net revenue, compared to $30.1 million, or 13.5% of net
revenue, for 1994.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Total interest expense, exclusive of the amount recorded
in 1994 for the termination of the interest rate swap agreement of $3.9 million,
decreased by $1.2 million for 1995 due primarily to interest rate decreases
brought about by the Company's refinancing activity in 1995.
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY. The Company recognized
equity in the net income of TBG in 1995 as previously unrecognized cumulative
losses were recouped. TBG recorded net income of $28.5
12
<PAGE>
million in 1995 of which the Company's share was $5.3 million. TBG's
operating income increased by $0.5 million or 1.4% in 1995 over 1994.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On August 1, 1996, the Company received a dividend of $4.1 million from TBG
and paid a dividend of $6.4 million to the Company's sole shareholder.
Effective April 7, 1995, the Company entered into a new loan agreement with
Texas Commerce Bank National Association, as agent for a syndicate of financial
institutions (the "1995 Bank Agreement"). The 1995 Bank Agreement provides for
a $120 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $30 million revolving credit
facility (the "Revolver"). Borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolver were
used to replace the Company's 10.05% Senior Secured Notes and the Company's $75
million Credit Agreement with Citicorp USA, as agent for a group of banks.
As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded non-recurring
charges, net of income tax benefit of $0.8 million, as an extraordinary item.
These non-recurring items consisted of premiums associated with the redemption
of the refinanced debt as well as the write-off of unamortized deferred
financing costs.
Both the Term Loan and the Revolver accrue interest at the Company's option
at either Alternate Base Rate (8.25% as of December 31, 1996) or Eurodollar Rate
(approximately 5.7% as of December 31, 1996) plus 1.00%. A commitment fee of
0.25% is charged on the average daily unused portion of the Revolver. Interest
rates on the 1995 Bank Agreement became subject to change after March 31, 1996
depending on the ratio of total debt to cash flow, as defined, at the end of
each calendar quarter. The interest rates are adjustable quarterly in a range
from a maximum of Alternate Base Rate plus 0.50% or Eurodollar Rate plus 1.75%
to a minimum of Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate plus 0.50% according to a
grid of permitted debt to cash flow ratios. On January 1, 1997, the spread over
Eurodollar Rate reduced from 1.0% to 0.75%.
Borrowings under the 1995 Bank Agreement are secured by pledges of the
stock of the Company and its subsidiaries and certain intercompany indebtedness
of Southwest Coke to the Company as well as guarantees of Parent and the
Company's subsidiaries.
The 1995 Bank Agreement contains several restrictive covenants, the most
significant of which: (a) require maintenance of minimum ratios of cash flow to
interest expense and fixed charges, as defined, (b) limit the ratio of debt to
cash flow, as defined, and (c) restrict the issuance of additional common stock.
The 1995 Bank Agreement permits the payment of dividends and other distributions
to shareholders as permitted by the indenture governing the 9% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 and further limited by minimum fixed charge coverage
requirements, so long as no default exists.
The maximum Revolver availability reduces to $25 million on January 1,
1998, $20 million on January 1, 2000 and $15 million on January 1, 2002. The
final maturity of the Revolver is March 31, 2003. The maximum amount of the
Revolver which can be used for acquisitions and other investments is currently
$20 million, but reduces to $15 million on January 1, 1998, $10 million on
January 1, 2000 and $5 million on January 1, 2002.
13
<PAGE>
The Term Loan matures March 31, 2003 and provides for quarterly
amortization beginning June 30, 1995. Total future annual amortization of the
term loan for fiscal years is as follows:
1997 $12,000,000
1998 13,000,000
1999 15,000,000
2000 16,000,000
2001 18,000,000
2002 18,000,000
2003 10,000,000
The Term Loan additionally provides for mandatory annual prepayments based
on excess cash flow as defined for each calendar year. No prepayment is due for
1996.
In connection with the 1995 Bank Agreement the Company has entered into an
interest rate cap agreement with a bank which caps the three month LIBOR rate at
9% on a notional principal amount of $60 million for four years. The Company
has no interest rate exposure under the agreement other than the initial
purchase cost of $0.6 million.
On January 13, 1994, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate swap
agreement covering the notional principal amount of $50 million. Due to the
leveraged nature of the swap agreement, the Company determined that the swap
agreement was not a hedge and that it should be recorded at market value, which
approximated the Company's cost to settle the swap agreement for each applicable
period. Accordingly, a charge of $3.9 million was recorded for the swap
agreement for 1994. After recognizing the costs associated with unwinding the
interest rate swap agreement in October 1994, the Company has no further
exposure to interest rate volatility from any swap or derivative type
instruments and the Company does not anticipate entering into any future
transactions which would subject it to such exposure.
The Company makes capital expenditures on a recurring basis for fleet,
vending and dispensing equipment. The Company also makes expenditures from time
to time for production equipment and building additions or improvements. The
Company has historically followed a policy of financing capital expenditures
from operating cash flow, however, a portion of the 1996, 1995 and 1994 capital
expenditures (approximately $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million,
respectively) were financed through capital leases and installment notes, and
the Company anticipates future capital expenditures will be financed through a
combination of capital leases and operating cash flow. During 1996, the Company
expended approximately $13.2 million for capital expenditures, compared to
approximately $8.9 million and $7.9 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Capital expenditures in 1996 consisted of approximately $9.3 million for
recurring fleet, vending and dispensing equipment and $3.9 million for
production equipment, other equipment, additions to facilities and other
building improvements. Capital expenditures in 1995 consisted of approximately
$6.4 million for recurring fleet, vending and dispensing equipment and $2.5
million for production equipment, other equipment, additions to facilities and
other building improvements. Capital expenditures in 1994 consisted of
approximately $6.4 million for recurring fleet, vending and dispensing equipment
and $1.5 million for production equipment, other equipment, additions to
facilities and other building improvements. The Company believes its current
production capacity and existing facilities are adequate to meet anticipated
growth and package shifts for several years.
Prior to 1995 the Company provided a valuation allowance against its entire
net deferred tax asset. In June 1995, the Company concluded that it was more
likely than not that future operations would generate sufficient taxable income
to use net operating losses and reduced the valuation allowance to create a
deferred tax asset of $10.8 million. The Company will continue to evaluate the
realizability of its deferred tax asset in relation to future taxable income and
adjust the valuation allowance accordingly.
14
<PAGE>
Based on the Company's anticipated operating results, management believes
the Company's future operating activities will generate sufficient cash flows to
repay borrowings under the 1995 Bank Agreement.
The Company's business is subject to seasonality due to the influence of
weather conditions on consumer demand for soft drinks, which affects working
capital. Sales are stronger in warmer months. The first quarter of operating
performance is usually lower than the other three quarters due to the winter
weather, primarily in the months of January and February.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Edmund M. Hoffman and Robert K. Hoffman each entered into an employment
agreement dated December 16, 1985 (each an "Employment Agreement") with the
Company which provides for a monthly salary determined by the Board of Directors
and for certain benefits upon death, retirement or disability. Each Employment
Agreement provides that upon the employee's retirement (eligibility for
retirement at age 65 for Edmund M. Hoffman and at age 55 for Robert K. Hoffman
or at such other age as the Board of Directors may authorize), the Company will
pay to the employee monthly benefits equal to 75% of his average monthly
compensation during the 36 months prior to retirement (including bonuses) for
the remainder of the employee's lifetime, subject to certain conditions. If the
employee dies within 120 months after the month of his retirement, payments in a
like amount shall continue to be paid to the employee's designated beneficiary
for the remainder of the 120-month period. Each Employment Agreement also
provides that, if the employee's employment is terminated by death, the Company
will pay for 120 months a monthly death benefit to the employee's beneficiary in
an amount equal to 75% of the employee's average monthly compensation during the
36 months prior to death (including bonuses). If termination of the employee's
employment is caused by the employee's disability, each Employment Agreement
provides that the Company will pay a monthly disability benefit for as long as
the employee remains disabled equal to 100% of his average monthly compensation
during the 36 months prior to disability (including bonuses) less amounts
received from certain other sources. Each Employment Agreement also provides
that certain benefits will be paid to the employee's beneficiary if the employee
dies while disabled. The benefits under each Employment Agreement are not
assignable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In addition,
each Employment Agreement automatically terminates upon the employee voluntarily
terminating his employment before he has attained a specified age (age 65 for
Edmund M. Hoffman and age 55 for Robert K. Hoffman). The benefits under each
Employment Agreement will be funded out of the Company's cash flow.
On August 10, 1994, Stephanie L. Ertel entered into an employment agreement
with the Company, effective January 1, 1994, providing for her employment with
the Company as Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel through
January 1, 1999. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Ms. Ertel is to be paid
at the annual rate of $260,000 during the term of the employment agreement.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Company's Board of Directors does not have a compensation committee.
Edmund M. Hoffman and his son Robert K. Hoffman are the only two members of the
Company's Board of Directors. Edmund M. Hoffman is the Chairman of the Company,
each of its subsidiaries and TBG, and Robert K. Hoffman is President of the
Company and TBG and is Vice Chairman of Southwest Coke and each of its
subsidiaries.
The Company has entered into a loan agreement with the Edmund M. and Adelyn
Jean Hoffman Trust (the "Trust") pursuant to which the Trust may borrow up to $2
million from the Company to pay the premiums of a second-to-die life insurance
policy on the lives of Edmund M. Hoffman and his wife, Adelyn Jean Hoffman. As
of December 31, 1996, the Trust had borrowed $1.4 million from the Company. The

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS OF THE COMPANY
EXECUTIVE SECURITY PLAN. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted
the Executive Security Plan for The Coca-Cola Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc.
(the "Plan"), which is administered by the Board of Directors. The Plan was
created to provide specified benefits to a select group of management and highly
compensated employees of the Company who contributed materially to the growth,
development and business success of the Company. There are presently seven
participants in the Plan and participation is no longer being offered to
additional employees.
The Plan provides for death benefits for covered employees. The amount of
such benefits and the manner in which the benefits will be distributed are set
forth in the individual employee's Plan Agreement. The covered compensation for
Charles F. Stephenson, the Company's only executive officer who participates, is
$200,000. The amount of death benefits under the Plan Agreements is 100% of
covered compensation for the first year following death before age 65, then 50%
of covered compensation until he would have been age 65 (9 years minimum). In
order to receive benefits under the Plan, the Plan must be in effect and the
employee's employment with the Company must not have been terminated on or
before the date of death. The estimated death benefit payable annually under
the Plan is $100,000 for Charles F. Stephenson.
Amounts payable under the Plan are to be paid exclusively from the general
assets of the Company. Although the Company is not obligated to make
investments to provide the means for the payment of benefits which become due
under the Plan, the Company has purchased life insurance policies to fund the
benefits provided.
401(k) PLAN. The Company also maintains The Coca-Cola Bottling Group
(Southwest), Inc. and Affiliates 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan") for employees
of the Company and its affiliates who have completed one year of service.
Effective June 30, 1996, The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest
Security Plus Plan merged into the 401(k) Plan. At the same time, the
administration of the 401(k) Plan was changed to daily valuation. Prior to the
merger, the 401(k) Plan was known as The Coca-Cola Bottling Group (Southwest),
Inc. and Affiliates Thrift Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a qualified defined
contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Company contributes to each participant's account maintained under the 401(k)
Plan for an employee of the Company or its wholly-owned subsidiaries an amount
equal to 100% of the participant's contribution under the 401(k) Plan up to 4%
of his compensation for a particular year. The participant can contribute from
1% to 15% of compensation each year. In addition to the Company's matching
contribution, the Board of Directors of the Company may provide for the
contribution of additional amounts by the Company. The matching contributions
by the Company during 1996 with respect to the individuals employed by the
Company and named in the cash compensation table are as follows: Edmund M.
Hoffman, $6,000; Robert K. Hoffman, $6,000; Stephanie L. Ertel, $6,000; and
Charles F. Stephenson, $6,000. The portion of the Company's matching
contribution which unconditionally vested during 1996 for each of the above-
named individuals was 100% of their contribution. No amounts were distributed
from the 401(k) Plan during 1996 to any of the Company's executive officers,
except for Edmund M. Hoffman, who received $21,044 in benefits.
All contributions paid by participants or the Company under the 401(k) Plan
are held and invested by Fleet Bank, N.A., the trustee of The Coca-Cola Bottling
Group (Southwest), Inc. and Affiliates 401(k) Plan Trust (the "401(k) Trust"),
pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan.
The 401(k) Plan is administered by an administrative committee appointed
by the Board of Directors of the Company. A participant may withdraw from
the 401(k) Plan Trust all of the participant's after-tax contributions (made
prior to January 1, 1989) and any earnings thereon. For extreme hardships,
the participant may also withdraw pre-tax contributions made after December
31, 1988. Participants may also borrow from the 401(k) Plan Trust within the
parameters set by the 401(k) Plan. Each participant's interest in
contributions made by the Company to
20
<PAGE>
the 401(k) Plan vests 20% per year for each year the participant is employed
with the Company or an affiliate of the Company.
RETIREMENT PLAN. The Company maintains The Coca-Cola Bottling Group
(Southwest), Inc. and Affiliates Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") for
its employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed at least
one year of service. The Retirement Plan is a qualified defined benefit plan
and, subject to certain maximum limitations, bases pension benefits on a
percentage of the employee's average annual compensation for the five highest
consecutive calendar years of compensation out of the employee's last ten
years of credited service, multiplied by the employee's years of credited
service. The Retirement Plan provides for a normal and late retirement
pension, an early retirement pension and a disability retirement pension.
Generally, a participant's benefit will vest upon his or her completion of
five years of vesting service (as such term is defined in the Retirement
Plan). As of December 31, 1996, Edmund M. Hoffman, Robert K. Hoffman,
Charles F. Stephenson and Stephanie L. Ertel had 27, 21, 11 and 12 years of
credited service, respectively. The amount of the contribution with respect
to a specific participant is not calculated separately by the actuaries for
the Retirement Plan. The 1996 minimum required contribution to the Plan, as
calculated by the Plan's actuaries, was equal to approximately 1.9% of the
compensation of the covered group of participants. The term "compensation"
includes the total cash remuneration paid by the Company or an affiliate to
an employee for a calendar year as reported on the employee's Federal income
tax withholding statement excluding, however, deferred compensation, stock
options and other distributions which receive special Federal income tax
treatment. The amount of pension actually accrued under the pension formula
is payable in the form of a life annuity unless an alternative payment form
is elected with an actuarial adjustment. On December 31, 1996, the
Retirement Plan for Employees of Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest
was merged into the Retirement Plan.
The following table sets forth the annual retirement benefits payable
under the Retirement Plan at age 65 based on an employee's assumed average
annual compensation for the five-year period preceding retirement and
assuming actual retirement in 1996. In no event may the estimated benefit
exceed the maximum benefit limitation contained under Section 415 of the
Internal Revenue Code. Currently the maximum compensation allowed for
calculation of benefits is $160,000 (on a single life, or qualified joint and
survivor, basis) unless prior to January 1, 1983 a higher benefit had been
accrued under prior law.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS OF SAN ANTONIO COKE
401(k) PLAN. Effective June 30, 1996, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of
the Southwest Security Plus Plan (the "Old 401(k) Plan") for employees of San
Antonio Coke was merged into The Coca-Cola Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc. and
Affiliates Thrift Plan, and the plan was renamed The Coca-Cola Bottling Group
(Southwest), Inc. and Affiliates 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). At the same
time, the administration of the 401(k) Plan was changed to daily valuation.
Under the 401(k) Plan, each participant can contribute from 1% to 15% of his
compensation each year, and San Antonio Coke will contribute a matching amount
equal to 100% of the participant's contributions up to 4% of his compensation
for each year. Prior to July 1, 1996, San Antonio Coke had the option of
contributing an amount equal to as much as 50% of the participant's contribution
up to 5% of his compensation for a particular year. A participant may withdraw
his contribution from the 401(k) Plan Trust provided that the request for
withdrawal is based on a hardship which meets the requirement of the 401(k)
Plan, or a participant may borrow from the 401(k) Plan Trust, within parameters
established in the 401(k) Plan. Each participant's interest in the
contributions made by San Antonio Coke to the 401(k) Plan vest at the rate of
20% per year for each year the participant is employed with San Antonio Coke.
The matching contribution by San Antonio Coke in 1996 with respect to E.T.
Summers, III was $3,750. The portion of San Antonio Coke's matching
contribution which unconditionally vested during 1996 for Mr. Summers was 100%.
All contributions paid by participants of San Antonio Coke under the 401(k)
Plan and the Old 401(k) Plan are held by Fleet Bank, N.A., the trustee of the
401(k) Plan Trust, pursuant to the terms of the 401(k) Plan.
The 401(k) Plan is administered by an administrative committee appointed by
the Board of Directors of the Company (See "Employee Benefit Plans of the
Company" above).
RETIREMENT PLAN. Effective December 31, 1996, the Retirement Plan for
Employees of Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest (the "Old Retirement
Plan") was merged into The Coca-Cola Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc. and
Affiliates Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") (See "Employee Benefit Plans
of the Company" above). Prior to December 31, 1996, employees of San Antonio
Coke who were 21 years of age and had completed one year of service were
participants in the Old Retirement Plan. The Old Retirement Plan was, and the
Retirement Plan is, a qualified defined benefit plan. Subject to maximum
provisions, the Retirement Plan bases pension benefits on a percentage of the
employee's average annual compensation for the five highest consecutive calendar
years of compensation out of the employee's last 10 years of credited service,
multiplied by the employee's years of credited service. Benefits accrued to
participants in the Old Retirement Plan were calculated as of December 31, 1996
by the actuaries for the Retirement Plan and incorporated into the Retirement
Plan to provide for the plan merger. Benefits attributed to service as an
employee of San Antonio Coke after December 31, 1996 will be determined by
22
<PAGE>
using the benefit formula of the Retirement Plan (which is 38% higher than
the formula under the Old Retirement Plan) and counting years of service
after December 31, 1996. This amount is added to the frozen benefit for 1996
and prior years to calculate the total benefit to be paid to the participant.
The Retirement Plan provides for a normal and late retirement pension, and
early retirement pension and a disability retirement pension. Generally, a
participant's benefit will vest upon completion of five years of vesting
service (as such term is defined in the Retirement Plan). As of December 31,
1996, E.T. Summers, III had 24 years and David E. Green had 16 years of
credited service under the Old Retirement Plan, which credited service is
reflected in their frozen benefits in the Retirement Plan.
The amount of the contribution with respect to any specific participant
is not calculated separately by the actuaries for the Retirement Plan. There
was no minimum required contribution to the Old Retirement Plan in 1996.
Under the terms of the Old Retirement Plan, the amount of pension actually
accrued under the pension formula was payable in the form of a life annuity
unless an alternative payment form was elected with an actuarial adjustment.
Benefits are accrued under the Retirement Plan on the same basis.
The following table sets forth the annual retirement benefits payable
under the Old Retirement Plan for retirement at age 65 based on an employee's
assumed average annual compensation for the five-year period preceding
retirement and assuming actual retirement in 1996. In no event may the
estimated benefit exceed the maximum benefit limitation contained under
Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. Currently the maximum compensation
allowable for calculation of benefits is $160,000 (on a single life, or
qualified joint and survivor, basis) unless prior to January 1, 1983 a higher
benefit had been accrued under prior law.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
PARENT NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTION/STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN. The
Parent's Non-Statutory Stock Option/Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, effective
January 1, 1987 (the "Parent Stock Option Plan"), provides for the granting of
non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights to officers and
certain key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Parent Stock
Option Plan provides that options for 6,314 shares of Parent's Class B Common
Stock may be granted prior to the plan's termination in 1997. Options awarded
under the Parent Stock Option Plan have been granted at option prices which
equated to the fair market value (based on contemporary sales of Parent Common
Stock) of the underlying Class B Common Stock at the time of grant. The options
were granted in tandem with Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) (equal to the
excess of the fair market value per share over the option price under the stock
option agreement) which Parent has the discretion to pay in Class B Common Stock
or cash in lieu of issuing Class B Common Stock when the optionee exercises the
stock option.
23
<PAGE>
Under the remaining Non-Statutory Stock Option Agreements, Mr.
Stephenson and Ms. Ertel were each eligible on June 30, 1994 to exercise
options to purchase 263.55 and 210.82 shares of Parent Class B Common Stock,
respectively, based on Parent's cash flow in 1993.
OPTION/SAR GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR. No options or SARs were granted
during 1996 under the Parent Stock Option Plan or otherwise.
TBG STOCK OPTION PLAN. TBG's Non-Statutory Stock Option/Stock
Appreciation Rights Plan, effective January 1, 1988 (the "TBG Stock Option
Plan"), provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options and stock
appreciation rights to officers and certain key employees of TBG and San
Antonio Coke. TBG's Stock Option Plan provides that options for 51,474
shares of TBG's Class A Common Stock may be granted prior to termination of
TBG's Stock Option Plan in 1998. Options awarded under the TBG Stock Option
Plan have been granted at option prices which equated to the fair market
value (based on contemporary sales of TBG's Common Stock) of the underlying
Class A Common Stock at the time of grant, and became exercisable on June 30,
1993. The options were granted in tandem with Stock Appreciation Rights
(SARs) (equal to the excess of the fair market value per share over the
option price under the stock option agreement) which TBG will pay in cash
when the optionee exercises the stock option.
No options or SARs were granted during 1996 under the TBG Stock Option
Plan or otherwise.
OPTION/SAR GRANTS, EXERCISES AND HOLDINGS. The following table provides
information with respect to the named executive officers, concerning the
exercise of options and/or SARs during the last fiscal year and the number of
unexercised options and SARs held as of the end of the fiscal year. Since no
sales of TBG's or Parent's stock occurred in the last six months of 1996, the
fair market value of one share of the Class A Common Stock of TBG or of one
share of the Class B Common Stock of Parent have been determined by using the
cash flow factor of 9.3 established by the Stock Option Committee for each
respective Stock Option Plan based on sales of stock of Coca-Cola bottling
businesses in 1996. Utilizing a formula in which the consolidated cash flow
of Parent is multiplied by 9.3, and the product is reduced by Parent's
consolidated total long-term debt, and divided by the total outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock of Parent assuming conversion of all
outstanding Class B Common Stock, the fair market value of one share of the
Class B Common Stock of Parent, for purposes of valuing the options, was
$3,110 at December 31, 1996. Applying a similar formula to determine the
fair market value of the Class A Common Stock of TBG results in a value per
share for purposes of valuing the options at December 31, 1996 of $219.70.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Company is party to a Renewed and Extended Management Agreement with
TBG, whereby the Company provides the advice and consultation of executive and
technical personnel of the Company and their assistants to the management of
TBG. In consideration therefor, TBG pays the Company a management fee of
$58,334 per month, which may be increased by agreement of the parties at any
time, subject to approval by a majority of the holders of the Class B Common
Stock of TBG, and to certain restrictions in the loan agreement pursuant to
which certain notes of TBG were issued.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke each supplement the other's production
capacity on an as-needed basis. Pursuant to written agreement, franchisors of
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke permit finished franchise product produced
by San Antonio Coke to be distributed in the franchise territory of Southwest
Coke and vice versa. Cross-production occurs primarily in Bag-in-Box fountain
product, lower volume flavor products and 20 ounce non-returnable bottles. Such
products are purchased on mutually beneficial and reciprocal terms. Pursuant to
these arrangements, in 1996 Southwest Coke purchased approximately $14.9 million
of products from San Antonio Coke and San Antonio Coke purchased approximately
$12.7 million of products from Southwest Coke.
The Company is a party to a Tax Sharing Agreement which provides that the
Company and Southwest Coke, among others, will file consolidated Federal income
tax returns with Parent. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, each member of
Parent's consolidated group pays to Parent its share of the consolidated group's
Federal income tax liability based on its share of the total taxable income of
the consolidated group. The Tax Sharing Agreement may have the effect of
benefiting a member of the consolidated group that has taxable income if any
other member of the consolidated group has incurred losses that are used to
offset such taxable income. TBG is not a party to the Tax Sharing Agreement and
files separate tax returns.
Charles F. Stephenson, President of the Company, served as a director and
Chairman of the Board of Bottler Systems, Inc., a computer software firm that is
owned and operated by certain bottlers of Coca-Cola, until October
27
<PAGE>
1993. Gary R. Phy, Senior Vice President-Finance of Southwest Coke, has
served as a director since October 1993. Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke
purchase software from Bottler Systems, Inc. In 1996, such purchases totaled
$0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
The Company has entered into a loan agreement with the Edmund M. and Adelyn
Jean Hoffman Trust pursuant to which the Trust may borrow up to $2 million from
the Company to pay the premiums of a second-to-die insurance policy on the lives
of Edmund M. Hoffman and his wife, Adelyn Jean Hoffman. As of December 31,
1996, the Trust had borrowed $1.4 million from the Company. The beneficiaries
of the Trust are Robert K. Hoffman, President of the Company, and his brother,
Richard E. Hoffman, Vice President - Human Resources of the Company. The loan
is secured by the proceeds of the life insurance policy and will be repaid from
the proceeds of the policy. Funds borrowed under the loan agreement bear
interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and
accrued interest thereon are payable upon the earlier to occur of receipt of the
proceeds of the life insurance policy and the day 90 days after Edmund M.
Hoffman and his wife no longer directly or indirectly hold any of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock of Parent.
E. T. Summers, III, President of San Antonio Coke, is a director of Western
Container, a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative owned by certain bottlers
of Coca-Cola, of which Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke are members.
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke purchase bottles from Western Container. In
1996, such purchases totaled approximately $8.1 million for Southwest Coke and
$12.7 million for San Antonio Coke. During 1993, Southwest Coke and San Antonio
Coke each entered into five-year agreements with Western Container. Beginning
with the third calendar quarter of 1994, the agreements require Southwest Coke
and San Antonio Coke to pay a maximum amount per calendar quarter of $102,218
and $232,704, respectively, reduced by $10 per 1,000 contour style and sixteen-
ounce, twenty-ounce and one liter generic style plastic bottles purchased during
the same calendar quarter. At the end of each successive four quarters, the
credit due Southwest Coke or San Antonio Coke is determined on a twelve-month
basis, and in the event the quantities purchased exceed the volume required to
eliminate the obligation to make quarterly payments during the twelve-month
period, any payments made under the contract during such period will be
refunded. Applicable purchases from Western Container in 1996 by each of
Southwest Coke and San Antonio Coke exceeded the minimum purchase requirements
necessary to eliminate payments under each respective contract. See "Business-
Raw Materials."
In June 1994, the Company acquired the assets of a catering and hospitality
management business operated by The Dani Group, Inc. effective June 25, 1994.
Edmund M. Hoffman, chairman and director of the Company, as well as beneficial
owner of a majority interest in Parent, is also the majority shareholder of The
Dani Group, Inc. The purchase price of the business was adjusted at July 1,
1995 based on a formula which resulted in Mr. Hoffman reimbursing the Company
approximately $0.2 million for the value of liabilities assumed in excess of
assets acquired.
In June 1995, the Company loaned $100,000 to Charles F. Stephenson,
President of the Company and Southwest Coke. The loan bears interest at 8% per
annum and is due on the earlier of February 1, 1999 or the 30th day after his
last day of employment as a manager of the Company or one of its subsidiaries.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To The Coca-Cola Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Coca-Cola
Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc. (a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of CCBG Corporation, a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholder's equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Coca-Cola Bottling Group
(Southwest), Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

THE COCA-COLA BOTTLING GROUP (SOUTHWEST), INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Coca-Cola
Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company", a
wholly owned subsidiary of CCBG Corporation) and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The major operating subsidiary is Southwest Coca-Cola Bottling
Company, Inc. ("Southwest Coke"). The Company primarily bottles and
distributes soft drinks in its franchise territories (food service operations
are not material) which include a substantial portion of western Texas and
the Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma, and eastern New Mexico and extend into
portions of Colorado and Kansas. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY
The Company has an interest in Texas Bottling Group, Inc. ("TBG"), an
unconsolidated subsidiary. Texas Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest ("San Antonio Coke"), primarily
bottles and distributes soft drinks in its franchise territories in central and
southern Texas, including the cities of San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
The Company is highly leveraged and will require substantial amounts of cash to
fund scheduled payments of principal and interest on its outstanding debt and
future capital expenditures. The Company's ability to service its debt in the
future, maintain adequate working capital and make required or planned capital
expenditures will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash from
operations. Management is of the opinion that the Company will generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations or that alternative financing will
be available.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized at the bottling operations when the product is delivered.
Vending operations recognize revenue when cash is collected.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
F-9
<PAGE>
INVENTORIES
Inventories include the costs of materials and direct labor and manufacturing
overhead, when applicable, and are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market, except for repair parts and supplies, which are valued at cost.
Inventories as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, are summarized as follows (in
thousands):
1995 1996
------ ------
Raw materials $1,976 $1,991
Finished goods 7,529 7,339
Repair parts and supplies 464 513
------ ------
$9,969 $9,843
------ ------
------ ------
PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The cost of assets retired or
sold, and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation is
determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 4-35 years
Vending machines, machinery, and equipment 4-7 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-7 years
Transportation equipment 3-7 years
RETURNABLE CAN TRAYS AND SHELLS
Returnable can trays and shells are carried in other assets at amortized cost.
The cost of shells in excess of deposit value is amortized on a straight-line
basis over three years.
FRANCHISE RIGHTS AND GOODWILL
Franchise rights and goodwill represent the cost in excess of the fair value of
tangible assets acquired. The Company views franchise rights and goodwill as a
single intangible asset that is being amortized over a period of 40 years. The
Company established separate values for franchise rights and for goodwill. The
Company annually evaluates its carrying value and expected period of benefit of
franchise rights and goodwill in relation to its expected future undiscounted
cash flows. If the carrying value were determined to be in excess of expected
future cash flows, franchise rights and goodwill would be reduced to fair market
value. Expected future cash flows exceeded those amounts recorded in the
consolidated financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of existing differences between the financial reporting
and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards for tax purposes. Valuation allowances are established, if
necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely
than not be realized.
F-10
<PAGE>
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
classification.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) became effective in 1996. For stock-based
compensation instruments issued subsequent to December 15, 1994, companies are
required to provide additional disclosures or change accounting for compensation
expense. The Company has issued no stock-based compensation subsequent to
December 31, 1994; therefore, the requirements of the statement had no effect on
the Company's 1996 consolidated financial statements.
2. PARENT COMPANY:
CCBG Corporation (the "Parent") has an agreement with certain subsidiaries of
the Company that requires such subsidiaries to make payments to the Parent in
order for CCBG Corporation to satisfy certain bonus and benefit plans. The
Company and its subsidiaries are the sole source of funds to satisfy these
payment obligations.
3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY:
The Company owns 541,917 shares of Class A common stock of TBG, which represents
49% of the ownership of TBG. The Prudential Insurance Company of America and
its affiliate own 226,277 shares of Class B common stock, which effectively
represents 51% of the ownership of TBG, as the Class B common stock is
convertible into 553,247 shares of Class A common stock at the option of the
holder. There are restrictions in the Company's credit agreements that prohibit
transactions between the Company and TBG unless the terms are at least as
favorable to the Company as the same transaction would be with a third party.
In addition, TBG's credit agreements have similar provisions. The Company's
credit agreements also provide for restrictions on transfers of cash or other
assets from the Company to TBG. The Company accounts for its investment in TBG
under the equity method.
Summarized financial information for TBG as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, is as
follows (in thousands):
1995 1996
-------- --------
Current assets $ 39,585 $ 45,735
Noncurrent assets 219,961 210,388
Current liabilities 38,314 39,433
Long-term debt 215,500 203,000

The Company recognized equity in net income of TBG of $5,311,000 in 1995 and
$7,531,000 in 1996. The Company received dividends from TBG of $3,853,000 and
$4,137,000 in 1995 and 1996. The Company's investment in the TBG is included in
other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company has a management agreement with TBG providing for annual management
fees of approximately $700,000. The agreement is for a period of one year and
automatically renews.
On September 9, 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") issued an order
dismissing the complaint filed by the FTC in 1988 against San Antonio Coke, a
wholly owned subsidiary of TBG, bringing to an end the FTC's efforts to force
the divestiture of Dr Pepper licenses for a ten-county area around and including
San Antonio, Texas, held by San Antonio Coke.
4. DEBT:
Long-term debt and related collateral consists of the following (in thousands):

1998 14,144
1999 15,001
2000 16,001
2001 18,002
Thereafter 174,879
--------
$250,843
--------
--------
The Company may be required to make additional annual prepayments on the
Variable Term Loan. The annual prepayment is calculated as the amount of
excess cash flow, as defined, for such fiscal year multiplied by the excess
cash flow percentage, as defined, in effect on the last day of the fiscal
year.
In April 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Texas Commerce
Bank National Association as agent for a syndicate of financial institutions.
The agreement provides for a $120 million term loan (the "Variable Term Loan")
and a $30 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). As of December
31, 1996, $6.8 million was outstanding on the Revolver. Borrowings under the
Variable Term Loan and Revolver (collectively, the "1995 Bank Credit
Agreement") were used to replace the Company's 10.05% senior secured notes and
the $75 million 1993 bank credit agreement with Citicorp USA as agent for a
group of banks which resulted in the Company recording a charge of $800,000
for unamortized deferred financing costs.
Both the Variable Term Loan and Revolver calculate interest at the Company's
option at either Alternate Base Rate (8.25% as of December 31, 1996) or
Eurodollar Rate (5.7% as of December 31, 1996) plus 1.00%. On January 1,
1997, the spread over Eurodollar Rate reduced from 1.00% to 0.75%. A
commitment fee of 0.25% is charged on the average daily unused portion of the
Revolver. Interest rates on the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement are subject to
change, depending on the ratio of total debt to cash flow, as defined, at the
end of each calendar quarter. The interest rates will be adjusted quarterly
in a range from a maximum of Alternate Base Rate plus .50% or Eurodollar Rate
plus 1.75% to a minimum of Alternate Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate plus .50%,
according to a grid of permitted debt to cash flow ratios. Interest on the
1995 Bank Credit Agreement is due on the last day of each calendar quarter
for amounts borrowed at the Alternate Base Rate or at the end of each
applicable interest period for amounts borrowed at the Eurodollar Rate. For
interest periods exceeding three months, related interest expense is due on
the last day of each calendar quarter.
Borrowings under the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement are secured by pledges of the
stock of the Company and its subsidiaries and certain intercompany
indebtedness of Southwest Coke to the Company, as well as guarantees of the
Parent and the Company's subsidiaries.
The Company's credit agreements contain several restrictive covenants, the
most significant of which: require maintenance of minimum ratios of cash
flow to interest expense and fixed charges, as defined; limit the ratio of
debt to cash flow, as defined; and restrict the issuance of additional common
stock. The 1995 Bank Credit Agreement does permit the payment of dividends
and other distributions to shareholders as permitted by the indenture
governing the 9% Notes due 2003 and also limited by minimum fixed charge
coverage requirements, so long as no default exists.
The maximum Revolver availability steps down to $25 million on January 1,
1998, $20 million on January 1, 2000, and $15 million on January 1, 2002.
The final maturity of the Revolver is March 31, 2003. The maximum amount of
the Revolver which can be used for acquisitions and other investments is
currently $20 million but steps down to $15 million on January 1, 1998, $10
million on January 1, 2000, and $5 million on January 1, 2002.
F-13
<PAGE>
Interest expense was approximately $29,100,000, $24,121,000, and $21,599,000
in 1994, 1995, and 1996. Interest expense in 1994 included approximately
$3.9 million related to the termination of an interest rate swap agreement
(see Note 6).
5. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The following methods and assumptions were used to value each class of
financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
those instruments.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Management believes the Revolver is stated at fair value due to the
short-term nature of this instrument. The Variable Term Loan is stated at
fair value due to its variable interest rate.
Management estimates that the fair value of its 9% Notes as of December 31,
1996, was approximately $141.3 million based on publicly quoted prices.
6. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In January 1994, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate swap
agreement. During 1994, the Company terminated its obligations under this
agreement at a cost of approximately $3.9 million.
In connection with the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement, the Company has entered
into an interest rate cap agreement with a bank which caps the three-month
LIBOR rate at 9% on a notional principal amount of $60 million for four
years. The Company has no interest rate exposure under the agreement other
than the initial purchase cost of $0.6 million.

In 1995, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that future
operations would generate sufficient taxable income to use net operating
losses and reduced the valuation allowance to create a deferred tax asset of
$10.8 million. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of
its deferred tax asset in relation to future taxable income and adjust the
valuation allowance accordingly.
The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $99.5
million and $98.9 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996. These carryforwards
expire as follows:
2003 $ 5,300

8. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTIES:
The Company is a member of a soft drink canning cooperative and owned
approximately 4% (qualifying shares) at December 31, 1996. During 1994,
1995, and 1996, the Company had purchases of $3,432,000, $777,000, and
$3,340,000 from this cooperative.
The Company purchased approximately $1,552,000, $4,468,000, and $14,960,000
in 1994, 1995, and 1996, of soft drink products from TBG and had sales to
this entity of approximately $899,000, $1,657,000, and $12,704,000 in 1994,
1995, and 1996.
At December 31, 1996, the Company owned approximately 23% of Western
Container Corporation ("Western"), a plastic bottle manufacturer. Western was
formed by the Company and other bottlers to provide plastic bottles for their
bottling operations. The Company had purchases of $7,036,000, $8,704,000,
and $8,079,000 from Western in 1994, 1995, and 1996. The Company has a
minimum purchase agreement with Western through 1998. The Company has met
its purchase requirements in 1996 and expects to continue to meet these
requirements in the future.
The Company is self-insured for portions of its casualty insurance and
certain other business risks up to limits of between $150,000 and $250,000.
Management provides for all material open claims plus an estimate for
incurred but not reported claims related to these uninsured risks.
In conjunction with certain insurance policies, the Company has established
irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit, expiring August 1, 1997, and
March 22, 1997, for $1,225,000 and $672,000 in favor of an insurance company.
The letters of credit protect the insurance company in case of nonperformance
by the Company. The letters of credit were not used as of December 31, 1996,
and management does not expect to use the letters of credit through
expiration.
F-16
<PAGE>
The Company also becomes involved in certain legal proceedings in the normal
course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such litigation
will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had a loan in the amount of $1,428,000 to the
Edmund M. and Adelyn Jean Hoffman Trust. Edmund M. Hoffman is the Co-Chairman
of the Board of the Company.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company made a loan to Charles F. Stephenson,
President of the Company and Southwest Coke, in the amount of $100,000. The
loan bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on the earlier of February 1,
1999, or the 30th day after his last day of employment as a manager of the
Company or one of its subsidiaries.
9. COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS:
THRIFT PLAN
The Company has a voluntary 401(k) plan available to substantially all full-time
employees with over one year of service. Employees can deposit up to 15% of
total compensation. Company contributions to the 401(k) plan are at the Board
of Directors' discretion and are limited to the lesser of employee contributions
or 4% of the employee's total compensation. The Company's contributions to the
401(k) plan in 1994, 1995, and 1996, included in the consolidated statements of
income, were approximately $484,000, $516,000, and $902,000.
Effective June 30, 1996, the San Antonio Coke voluntary 401(k) plan merged with
the Company's 401(k).
PENSION PLAN
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all full-
time employees with over one year of service.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized

The discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in
determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was
8% and 5% in 1994; 8.0% and 4.5% in 1995; and 7.25% and 5% in 1996. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.5% in 1994, 1995, and 1996.
The Plan assets consist primarily of money market investments, stocks, and
bonds.
Effective December 31, 1996, the San Antonio Coke defined benefit plan merged
with the Company's defined benefit plan. Benefits attributed to service as an
employee of San Antonio Coke after December 31, 1996, will be determined by
using the benefit formula of the Parent's plan (which is 38% higher than the
formula under the old San Antonio Coke plan), then added to the frozen benefit
for 1996 and prior years to calculate the total benefit to be paid to the
participant.
EXECUTIVE SECURITY PLAN
The Company maintains an executive security plan (the "Plan") covering certain
key executives of the Company. In addition, the Company entered into
employment agreements ("Agreements") with two other key executives. The
Agreements provide for disability, defined retirement, and death benefits to
be paid out of the general assets of the Company, and the Plan provides for
death benefits which will be funded by life insurance policies. Expense for
the Agreements included in the consolidated statements of income was $343,000,
$600,000, and $600,000 in 1994, 1995, and 1996.
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company entered into long-term management
incentive agreements with certain of its key officers and managers. Under the
plans, a lump-sum payment is made at the end of five years based upon the
attainment of certain operating cash flow goals. Expense for the management
incentive agreements included in the consolidated statements of income was
$900,000, $980,000, and $980,000 in 1994, 1995, and 1996.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company does not provide postretirement benefits to its employees, other
than the plans discussed above, except for certain benefits to retirees
associated with a previous acquisition which are not material to the Company's
results of operations or financial position. The Company does not provide any
postemployment benefits other than the plans discussed above and, therefore, no
additional liability has been recorded.

TEXAS BOTTLING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1996
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Bottling
Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest, a Nevada corporation
("San Antonio Coke"). The Company primarily bottles and distributes soft drinks
in its franchise territories (food service operations are not material) in
central and southern Texas, including the cities of San Antonio and Corpus
Christi. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
CERTAIN RISK FACTORS
The Company is highly leveraged and will require substantial amounts of cash to
fund scheduled payments of principal and interest on its outstanding debt and
future capital expenditures. The Company's ability to service its debt in the
future, maintain adequate working capital, and make required or planned capital
expenditures will depend on its ability to generate sufficient cash from
operations. Management is of the opinion that the Company will generate
sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations or that alternative financing will
be available.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is recognized from bottling operations when the product is delivered.
Vending operations recognize revenue when cash is collected.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES
Inventories include the costs of materials and direct labor and manufacturing
overhead, when applicable, and are valued at the lower of first-in, first-out
cost or market, except for repair parts and supplies, which are valued at cost.
Inventories as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, are summarized as follows (in
thousands):
1995 1996
------ ------
Raw materials $2,488 $3,351
Finished goods 4,210 4,940
Repair parts and supplies 648 1,036
------ ------
$7,346 $9,327
------ ------
------ ------
F-27
<PAGE>
PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. The cost of assets retired or
sold, and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and any gain or loss is included in other income. Depreciation is
determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:
Buildings and improvements 3 - 25 years
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years
Vehicles 3 - 10 years
Vending equipment 2 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures 2 - 10 years
RETURNABLE CAN TRAYS AND SHELLS
Returnable can trays and shells are carried in other assets at amortized cost.
The cost of can trays and shells in excess of deposit value is amortized on a
straight-line basis over three years.
FRANCHISE RIGHTS AND GOODWILL
Franchise rights and goodwill represent the cost in excess of the fair value of
tangible assets acquired. The Company views franchise rights and goodwill as a
single intangible asset that is being amortized over a period of 40 years. The
Company established separate values for franchise rights and for goodwill. The
Company annually evaluates its carrying value and expected period of benefit of
franchise rights and goodwill in relation to its expected future undiscounted
cash flows. If the carrying value were determined to be in excess of expected
future cash flows, franchise rights and goodwill would be reduced to fair market
value. Expected future cash flows exceeded those amounts recorded in the
consolidated financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of existing differences between the financial reporting
and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards for tax purposes. Valuation allowances are established, if
necessary, to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely
than not be realized.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
classification.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
F-28
<PAGE>
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (SFAS No. 123) became effective in 1996. For stock-based
compensation instruments issued subsequent to December 15, 1994, companies are
required to provide additional disclosures or change accounting for compensation
expense. The Company has issued no stock-based compensation subsequent to
December 15, 1994; therefore, the requirements of this statement had no effect
on the Company's 1996 consolidated financial statements.
2. DEBT:
Long-term debt and related collateral consists of the following (in thousands):
DECEMBER 31,
------------------
1995 1996
-------- --------
9% Senior Subordinated Notes - unsecured,
due November 15, 2003; interest is payable
semiannually on May 15 and November 15 $120,000 $120,000
Variable Term Loan - due in quarterly
installments through March 31, 2003 107,500 95,500
Borrowings under revolving credit facility - 4,000
-------- --------
Total debt 227,500 219,500
Less- Current maturities 12,000 16,500
-------- --------
Total long-term debt $215,500 $203,000
-------- --------
-------- --------
Principal payments for maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are
as follows (in thousands):
1997 $ 16,500
1998 15,000
1999 15,000
2000 15,000
2001 15,000
Thereafter 143,000
--------
$219,500
--------
--------
The Company may be required to make additional annual prepayments on the
Variable Term Loan. The annual prepayment is calculated as the amount of excess
cash flow, as defined, for such fiscal year multiplied by the excess cash flow
percentage, as defined, in effect on the last day of the fiscal year. The
prepayment for 1996 due in 1997 is approximately $1.5 million.
In April 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Texas Commerce
Bank National Association as agent for a syndicate of financial institutions.
The agreement provides for a $115 million term loan (the "Variable Term Loan")
and a $25 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). As of December
31, 1996, $4 million was outstanding on the Revolver. Borrowings under the
Variable Term Loan and Revolver (collectively, the "1995 Bank Credit
Agreement") were used to replace the Company's 11% senior notes and to
repurchase $5 million in principal amount of the Company's 9% Notes due 2003.
A net extraordinary loss of $72,000 was recognized for the write-off of
deferred financing costs and the gain associated with the repurchase of
principal.
F-29
<PAGE>
Both the Variable Term Loan and Revolver calculate interest at the Company's
option at either Alternate Base Rate (8.25% as of December 31, 1996) or
Eurodollar Rate (5.7% as of December 31, 1996) plus 1.00%. On January 1, 1997,
the spread over Eurodollar Rate reduced from 1.00% to 0.75%. A commitment fee
of 0.25% is charged on the average daily unused portion of the Revolver.
Interest rates on the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement are subject to change,
depending on the ratio of total debt to cash flow, as defined, at the end of
each calendar quarter. The interest rates will be adjusted quarterly for
Alternate Base Rate borrowings from a maximum of Alternate Base Rate plus .25%
to a minimum of Alternate Base Rate and for Eurodollar borrowings from a maximum
of Eurodollar Rate plus 1.50% to a minimum of Eurodollar Rate plus .50%,
according to a grid of permitted debt to cash flow ratios. Interest on the 1995
Bank Credit Agreement is due on the last day of each calendar quarter for
amounts borrowed at the Alternate Base Rate or at the end of each applicable
interest period for amounts borrowed at the Eurodollar Rate. For interest
periods exceeding three months, related interest expense is due on the last day
of each calendar quarter.
Borrowings under the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement are secured by pledges of the
stock of San Antonio Coke.
The Company's credit agreements contain several restrictive covenants, the most
significant of which: require maintenance of minimum ratio of cash flow to
interest expense and fixed charges, as defined; limit the ratio of debt to cash
flow, as defined; and restrict the issuance of additional common stock. The
1995 Bank Credit Agreement does permit the payment of dividends and other
distributions to shareholders as permitted by the indenture governing the 9%
Notes due 2003, so long as no event of default exists.
The maximum Revolver availability steps down to $20 million on January 1, 1999,
and $15 million on January 1, 2002. The final maturity of the Revolver is March
31, 2003. The maximum amount of the Revolver which can be used for acquisitions
and other investments is currently $20 million and steps down to $15 million on
January 1, 1999, and $5 million on January 1, 2002.
Interest expense was approximately $32,147,000, $20,834,000, and $18,578,000 in
1994, 1995, and 1996. Interest expense in 1994 included approximately
$7.8 million related to the termination of an interest rate swap agreement (see
Note 4).
3. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
The following methods and assumptions were used to value each class of financial
instruments.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity
of these instruments.
LONG-TERM DEBT
Management believes the Revolver is stated at fair value due to the short-term
nature of this instrument.
The Variable Term Loan is stated at fair value due to its variable interest
rate.
Management estimates that the fair value of its 9% Notes as of December 31,
1996, was approximately $121.1 million based on publicly quoted prices.
F-30
<PAGE>
4. DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
In January 1994, the Company entered into a two-year interest rate swap
agreement. During 1994, the Company terminated its obligations under this
agreement at a cost of approximately $7.8 million.
In connection with the 1995 Bank Credit Agreement, the Company has entered into
an interest rate cap agreement with a bank which caps the three-month LIBOR rate
at 9% on a notional principal amount of $50 million for four years. The Company
has no interest rate exposure under the agreement other than the initial
purchase cost of $0.5 million.

In 1995, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that future
operations would generate sufficient taxable income to use net operating losses
and reduced the valuation to create a deferred tax asset of $12.8 million. The
Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of its deferred tax asset in
relation to future taxable income and provide a valuation allowance if
necessary.
The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $163.3 million
and $157.2 million at December 31, 1995 and 1996. These carryforwards will
expire as follows:

7. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND RELATED PARTIES:
The Company paid $700,000 annually in 1994, 1995, and 1996 to The Coca-Cola
Bottling Group (Southwest), Inc. ("CCB Group"), holder of the Company's Class A
common stock, under a management agreement. The agreement is for a period of
one year and is renewable automatically. The Company also had sales of
approximately $1,552,000, $4,468,000, and $14,960,000 and purchases of
approximately $899,000, $1,657,000, and $12,704,000 in 1994, 1995, and 1996,
with a subsidiary of CCB Group.
F-32
<PAGE>
An officer of the Company serves on the Board of Directors of Western Container
Corporation ("Western"), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative. The
Company had purchases of $10,050,000, $14,477,000, and $12,675,260 from
Western in 1994, 1995, and 1996. The Company has a minimum purchase
agreement with Western through 1998. The Company has met its purchase
requirements in 1996 and expects to continue to meet these requirements in
the future.
On September 9, 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") issued an order
dismissing the complaint filed by the FTC in 1988 against San Antonio Coke,
bringing to an end the FTC's efforts to force the divestiture of Dr Pepper
licenses for a ten-county area around and including San Antonio, Texas held by
the Company.
The Company is self-insured for portions of its casualty insurance, product
liability, and certain other business risks up to limits of between $50,000 and
$250,000. Management provides for all material open claims plus an estimate for
incurred but not reported claims related to these uninsured risks.
In conjunction with certain insurance policies, the Company has established
irrevocable and unconditional letters of credit, expiring August 1, 1997, and
March 22, 1997, for $1,225,000 and $728,000 in favor of two insurance companies.
The letters of credit protect the insurance company in case of nonperformance by
San Antonio Coke. The letters of credit were not used as of December 31, 1996,
and management does not expect to use the letters of credit through expiration.
The Company also becomes involved in certain legal proceedings in the normal
course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such litigation
will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
8. COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS:
THRIFT PLAN
Through June 30, 1996, San Antonio Coke had a voluntary 401(k) plan available to
substantially all full-time employees with over one year of service. Employees
could deposit up to 15% of total compensation, tax deferred in the 401(k) plan
on an annual basis. Through June 30, 1996, the San Antonio Coke contributions
to the 401(k) plan were at the discretion of the Board of Directors and were
limited to 50% of the employees' contributions up to 5% of total compensation.
San Antonio Coke's contributions to the 401(k) plan in 1994, 1995, and 1996,
included in the consolidated statements of income, were approximately $350,000,
$355,000, and $588,000.
Effective June 30, 1996, the San Antonio Coke voluntary 401(k) plan merged with
the CCB Group 401(k) plan. The new plan allows employees to contribute up to
15% of their annual compensation to the Plan and provides for the Company to
match contributions up to 100% of the employees' contributions up to 4% of total
compensation.
PENSION PLAN
San Antonio Coke has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all
full-time employees with over one year of service.

The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized
in the Company's financial statements at December 31, 1995 and 1996

Net periodic pension cost $ 353 $ 335 $ 262

</TABLE>
The discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in
determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was
8.0% and 5.5% in 1994; 7.25% and 5.0% in 1995; and 7.25% and 5% in 1996. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.5% in 1994, 1995, and 1996.
The plan assets consist of investments in an insurance company's general and
growth equity accounts, and several mutual funds.
Effective December 31, 1996, the San Antonio Coke defined benefit plan merged
with the CCB Group defined benefit plan. Benefits attributed to service as an
employee of San Antonio Coke after December 31, 1996, will be determined by
using the benefit formula of the CCB Group plan (which is 38% higher than the
formula under the old San Antonio Coke plan), then added to the frozen benefit
for 1996 and prior years to calculate the total benefit to be paid to the
participant.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATION
In addition to providing pension benefits, San Antonio Coke sponsors a
postretirement healthcare plan that is limited to the following three groups:
(1) participants in the plan as of January 1, 1993, (2) employees having 20
years of service as of January 1, 1992, or (3) employees who were at least age
55 with five years of service as of January 1, 1992. Active employees in groups
2 or 3 are only eligible to receive benefits if they retire on or after their
normal retirement age. The plan pays stated percentages of most necessary
medical expenses incurred after subtracting payments by Medicare where
applicable and after a stated deductible has been met. The plan is
contributory, and the Company does not fund this plan.

The following table shows the components of the accrued postretirement
healthcare cost liability as reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1995 and 1996 (in thousands):

Retirees $3,472 $3,224
Other active participants 1,238 1,040

Net postretirement benefit cost included the following components in 1994, 1995,
and 1996 (in thousands):

Interest cost on accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation 403 343 313
---- ---- ----
Total postretirement benefit cost $481 $401 $362
---- ---- ----
---- ---- ----
The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.0%, 7.25%, and 7.25% in 1994, 1995, and
1996. For measurement purposes, a 10% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered healthcare claims was assumed for 1996; the rate was assumed to
ratably decrease 1% each year to 5% in 2003 and remain level thereafter. The
effect of increasing the assumed healthcare cost trend rates by one percentage
point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1996, by $340,000 and the aggregate of the service
and interest cost components of net postretirement healthcare cost for the 1996
fiscal year by $32,000.
NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION/STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN
The Company has a Nonstatutory Stock Option/Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the
"Stock Plan"). The Stock Plan allows the Company to grant stock options for
Class A common stock to key officers and employees based on fair market value,
as defined, at the date of grant. The Company issues a stock appreciation right
corresponding to the excess of fair market value, as defined, over the option
price for each specific stock option granted. In 1994, 1995, and 1996, no stock
options or stock appreciation rights were issued by the Company. As of
December 31, 1996, all outstanding stock appreciation rights (covering 11,160
shares) were vested at an option price of $40.90 per share and were exercisable.
MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company entered into long-term management
incentive agreements with certain of its key officers and managers. Under the
plans, a lump-sum payment is made at the end of five years based upon the
attainment of certain operating cash flow goals. Expense for the management
incentive agreements included in the consolidated statements of income was
$650,000 in both 1994 and 1995, and $700,000 in 1996.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The Company does not provide any postretirement or postemployment benefits other
than the plans discussed above and, therefore, no additional liability has been
recorded.

9. MAJOR CUSTOMER:
The Company had one major customer in 1994, 1995, and 1996, which accounted for
approximately 27%, 28%, and 24% of net revenues.
10. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS:
As of December 31, 1994, 1995, and 1996, the balance for allowance for doubtful
accounts was $425,000, $515,000, and $544,000. The activity for this account
for the three years ended December 31, 1996, was as follows (in thousands):
