(2)  New accounting standards

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS-133"), which revises the accounting
and related disclosures for derivative financial instruments. The Company does
not believe the adoption of this standard, which will be implemented in the
first quarter of 2001, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial
position or consolidated results of operations.


(3)  Reorganization program

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company continued its
reorganization program, which was implemented during the first quarter of 2000.
As a result of this reorganization program, during the six months ended June 30,
2000 the Company recorded the following items in the statements of operations:

Facilities reorganization charges.- During the six months ended June 30, 2000,
the Company recorded $79,878 of charges, all of which were recorded in the first

$40,345 of cash items relating primarily to severance payments, job terminations
and reorganization of the distribution system of the Venezuelan and Brazilian
subsidiaries. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recorded
$10,614 of cash items related to severance payments and job terminations. These

(7)  Other transactions

     On March 18, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with ING Baring
US Capital, LLC as arranger and administrative agent, for a three-year loan in
the amount of $300,000 with quarterly interest payments. The proceeds were
used to repay short-term bank loans of the Company. The loan agreement
establishes certain restrictions including minimum consolidated equity and
other covenants and ratios. During November 1999, $80,000 of this loan was
repaid prior to the scheduled repayment date. On March 27, 2000, the loan
agreement was amended to modify certain restrictions and other covenants and
ratios. The amendment reduced the required minimum consolidated equity from
$1,750,000 to $1,500,000.


(8)  Repurchase program

     On December 9, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase
program of its Class A Common Stock in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in the
aggregate. The shares could be repurchased in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. The
Company repurchased 645,916 shares amounting to $11,753 during the first half
of 2000. Since the beginning of the program in December 1999, the Company has
repurchases 1,014,500 shares.


(9)  Earnings (loss) per share

     Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted
average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is based
on the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus
common stock equivalents arising out of employee stock options and benefit
plans. The Company's net income (loss) is the same for basic and diluted
earnings (loss) per share calculations.


(10) Comprehensive income (loss)

     Beginning in 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". This standard requires the display of comprehensive
income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. In the Company's
case, comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and foreign
currency translation. The comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 is as follows:

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following discussion addresses the financial condition and results of
operations of Panamerican Beverages, Inc. ("Panamco") and its consolidated
subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and 2000 and for
the three month and six month periods then ended and the notes thereto included
elsewhere herein. Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative
of results for any full year.

We conduct our operations through tiers of subsidiaries in which, in some
cases, minority shareholders hold interests. For the second quarter of 2000,
minority shareholdings in our consolidated subsidiaries represented an
interest in the aggregate of approximately 0.3% of consolidated net income
before minority interest. Since we have varying percentage ownership interests
in our approximately 60 consolidated subsidiaries, the amount of the minority
interest in income or loss before minority interest during a period depends
upon the revenues and expenses of each of the consolidated subsidiaries and
the percentage of each of such subsidiary's capital stock owned by minority
shareholders during such period.

In 1998, we created the "Panamco Central America" group, which consists of
Panamco Costa Rica, Panamco Nicaragua and Panamco Guatemala. The financial
condition and results of operations of these three companies have been
reported together in the financial statements of Panamco Central America.

In February 1999, we formed the North Latin American Division, which consists
of Panamco Mexico and Panamco Central America. We will continue to report
these results of operations separately.

Unit case means 192 ounces of finished beverage product (24 eight-ounce
servings). Average sales prices per unit case means net sales in U.S. dollars
for the period divided by the number of unit cases sold during the same
period. Cash operating profit means operating income plus depreciation,
amortization of goodwill and noncash facilities reorganization charges.

Forward-looking statements, contained in this document include the amount of
future capital expenditures and the possible uses of proceeds from any future
borrowings. The words believes, intends, expects, anticipates, projects,
estimates, predicts, and similar expressions are also intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements, estimates, and projections
reflect various assumptions by our management, concerning anticipated results
and are subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Factors
that could cause results to differ include, but are not limited to, changes in
the soft drink business environment, including actions of competitors and
changes in consumer performance, changes in governmental laws and regulations,
including income taxes, market demand for new and existing products, raw
material prices and devaluation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly, we cannot assure you that such statements, estimates and
projections will be realized. The forecasts and actual results will likely
vary and those variations may be material. We make no representation or
warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such statements,

                                      17

<PAGE>


estimates or projections contained in this document or that any forecast
contained herein will be achieved.

Regarding the Year 2000 issue, as of this date, there have been no adverse
effects on the Company's systems or operations, including the ability of any
significant customer, vendor or service provider that do business with the
Company, and we have complied with all regulatory and contractual
requirements. We do not expect any contingencies regarding this issue.


Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June
30, 1999

Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, increased
4.7% to $641.1 million from $612.4 million in the 1999 second quarter, mainly
due to an increase of 4.1% in consolidated unit case sales volume. Total
consolidated unit case sales increased to 300.2 million cases from 288.3 unit
cases in the 1999 period. Consolidated soft drink sales volume for the period
was up 2.0%, reflecting increases of 5.7% in Mexico, 3.9% in Venezuela and 1.9%
in the Central American Region, offset by declines of 1.7% in Brazil and 1.4% in
Colombia. Consolidated unit case sales volume of bottled water increased 9.2% to
62.2 million unit cases , and unit case sales volume of beer, sold in Brazil and
Venezuela, increased 19.8% to 14.2 million unit cases.

The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 46.9% during the
2000 second quarter from 48.8% in the 1999 second quarter, primarily driven by
cost savings in raw materials and packaging in several countries due to
improved procurement contracts.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 43.4% during the
2000 second quarter from 44.6% in 1999, mainly as a result of the initial
benefits of the reorganization program.

Operating income increased to $62.0 million during the second quarter of 2000
from $40.3 million in 1999. Cash operating profit increased 25.2% to $129.5
million from $103.4 million in the 1999 second quarter.

Net interest expense increased to $25.8 million during the second quarter of
2000 from $23.7 million in the 1999 period, due primarily to an increase in
the average variable (LIBOR) interest rate and $1.0 million in costs incurred
in a $30 million hedging contract entered into by Panamco Brasil on May 25,
2000.

Other expense, net increased to $4.1 million during the 2000 second quarter
from $2.5 million in the 1999 period, primarily as a result of negative equity
income in earnings of Cervejarias Kaiser of $0.8 million compared to equity
income of $1.6 million in the 1999 period.

The consolidated effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was 58.4% compared to 97.2% during the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The increased rate during the three months ended June 30, 1999 was the result
of our decision to establish a valuation allowance on benefits of tax loss
carry-forwards from prior years in Venezuela. This valuation allowance was
established because of the uncertainty that we would have sufficient taxable
income in the near term to offset against such benefits.

                                      18

<PAGE>


As a result of the foregoing, Panamco had a net income for the second quarter
of $11.5 million, or $0.09 per share (basic and diluted), compared to a net
loss of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per share (basic and diluted), in the second
quarter of 1999.


Regional Results

Mexico

Panamco Mexico reported an increase of 18.8% in net sales to $251.0 million
during the second quarter of 2000, compared to $211.2 million in the 1999
second quarter. Soft drink sales increased 18.0% on volume growth of 5.7% to
75.3 million unit cases and a 23.8% price increase in dollar terms. Water
volume grew 13.7% to 44.5 million unit cases, mainly due to the continued
increase in water jug sales volume due to increased coverage of the Company's
franchise territories. During the quarter, Panamco Mexico maintained its
strong soft drink share of sales of 80.1%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales dropped to 44.1% in the 2000 second
quarter versus 47.0% during second quarter of 1999, mainly due to continued
cost savings in raw materials.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 36.8% in the
second quarter of 2000 from 35.5% in the comparable period for 1999, mainly
due to higher depreciation expenses related to Panamco's ongoing capital
expenditure program.

Operating income increased to $48.1 million from $37.1 million in the 1999
second quarter as a result of the initial benefits of the reorganization
program. Cash operating profit increased 30.7% to $62.6 million from $47.9
million in the 1999 second quarter.

Net interest expense in the 2000 second quarter increased by 14.6% to $2.8
million from $2.5 million in 1999, due to the issuance of an aggregate of $106
million in unsecured peso-denominated promissory notes in November of 1999 in
a local debt offering.

Other income, net increased to $3.0 million in the 2000 second quarter from
$1.3 in the 1999 quarter, due to a $1.5 million foreign exchange gain and
miscellaneous tax benefits of $1.3 million obtained in the second quarter.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter increased slightly to
33.1% from 32.6%.

As a result of the foregoing, net income contributed by Panamco Mexico to the
Company increased 33.6% to $30.5 million for the second quarter of 2000
compared to $22.9 million in the second quarter of 1999. Net income
attributable to Panamco for the 2000 quarter was positively impacted by the
initial benefits of the reorganization program.


Brazil

Panamco Brasil, which operates in the Sao Paulo, Campinas, Santos and Mato
Grosso do Sul regions of Brazil, reported 2000 second quarter net sales of
$116.7 million, a decrease of 1.1% from the 1999 quarter, primarily as a
result of the devaluation of the currency, partially


                                      19

<PAGE>

offset by total volume growth of 2.5% as well as strategic pricing initiatives
implemented during the quarter. Sales volume of soft drinks decreased by 1.7%
to 54.1 million unit cases, as a result of decreasing benefits from the
Company's promotional pricing strategy, in place since March 1999. Beer volume
increased by 17.5% to 13.8 million unit cases and bottled water volume
increased 25.2% to 3.0 million unit cases. Panamco Brasil maintained a strong
56.1% total soft drink share of sales in the 2000 second quarter.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 60.4% in the 2000
second quarter from 62.2% in the 1999 second quarter. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the reductions in the cost of raw materials and
production labor and increased direct sales to supermarkets by Cervejarias
Kaiser in Panamco Brasil territories. While Panamco Brasil records the
commissions from the direct sales made by Cervejarias Kaiser to the
supermarkets as net sales, this amount affects the percentage of cost of sales
as a percentage of total sales.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 35.7% from 39.8%
in the 1999 second quarter, mainly due to cost and expense reductions
resulting from the Company's reorganization program.

Operating income increased 292.8% to $4.6 million during the second quarter of
2000 from an operating loss of $2.4 million in the 1999 quarter, primarily as
a result of the initial benefits of the reorganization program. Cash operating
profit increased 106.8% to $12.0 million from $5.8 million in the 1999 second
quarter.

Net interest expense increased by 56.9% to $3.8 million in the second quarter
of 2000 from $2.4 million in the 1999 quarter, mainly due to $1.0 million in
costs incurred in a $30 million hedging contract entered into on May 25, 2000.

Other expense, net increased to $3.7 million in the 2000 second quarter from
$1.4 million in the 1999 quarter, as a result of negative equity income in
earnings of Cervejarias Kaiser of $0.8 million compared to equity income of
$1.6 million in the 1999 period.

The effective income tax benefit increased to 97.0% in the second
quarter of 2000 from 53.2% in the 1999 quarter, as a result of favorable tax
planning strategies.

As a result of the above, the net loss contributed to Panamco by Panamco
Brasil decreased 97.2% to $0.1 million in the second quarter 2000 from $2.9
million in the 1999 period.


Colombia

Panamco Colombia, which operates throughout Colombia, reported net sales of
$93.6 million for the 2000 second quarter, down 6.0% from the 1999 period. The
revenue decline was mainly due to a 23.5% devaluation of the Colombian Peso
over the last twelve months and to a 4.1% decrease in total volumes to 45.6
million unit cases, mainly due to the weak economic environment present in
Colombia. This was partially offset by strategic pricing initiatives in local
currency. Soft drink and water volumes were down 1.4% and 14.4%, to 37.0
million and 8.6 million unit cases, respectively, as a result of economic
recession and price increases mainly in individual-size presentations. Panamco
Colombia continued strengthening its

                                      20

<PAGE>



position in the market, achieving a record high soft drink share of sales of
68.6% in June 2000, up 3.3 points from the same period in 1999.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 41.7% during the
second quarter of 2000 from 44.6% in the same period of 1999, as a result of
cost savings in raw materials, basically in sugar prices.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 50.9% in the
second quarter of 2000 from 52.7% in the 1999 quarter, mainly due to cost and
expense reductions resulting from the Company's reorganization program.

Operating income increased 155.9% to $7.0 million during the second quarter of
2000 from operating income of $2.7 million in the 1999 quarter, primarily as a
result of the initial benefits of the reorganization program. Cash operating
profit increased 27.6% to $22.0 million from $17.2 million in the 1999 second
quarter.

Net interest expense decreased during the second quarter of 2000 to $0.1 million
from $1.4 million in the 1999 quarter, due to less interest paid resulting from
reduced indebtedness and a larger currency translation effect during the period
compared to 1999.

Other expense, net increased to $3.1 million in the 2000 second quarter from
income of $0.1 million in the 1999 quarter, due to a decrease in contributions
received from The Coca-Cola Company for capital expenditures and a $1.6
million provision for contingencies.

The effective income tax rate increased to 25.0% in the second quarter of 2000
from 10.7% in the 1999 quarter, primarily due to the recognition of tax
credits recorded during the second quarter of 1999, which were not available
in the 2000 quarter.

As a result of the above, net income attributable to the Company from Panamco
Colombia increased 113.8% to $2.7 million in the 2000 second quarter from net
income of $1.3 million in the 1999 period.


Venezuela

Panamco Venezuela reported net sales of $123.3 million for the second quarter
of 2000, down 5.6% from 1999, mainly as a result of devaluation of the
Venezuelan Bolivar, which was not fully offset by price increases in local
currency for the period. Total sales volume for the second quarter increased
6.1% to 44.4 million unit cases of which soft drink and water volumes
increased 3.9% and 22.5%, respectively. Panamco Venezuela maintained its
strong soft drink share of sales of 67.9% for the quarter.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 44.9% during the
second quarter of 2000 from 43.8% during the same period in 1999, as a result
of higher costs associated with the increase in sales of nonreturnable
presentations.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 52.2% in the
second quarter of 2000 from 51.6% in the 1999 quarter, mainly due to higher
depreciation expenses caused by the acquisition of trucks during the last
quarter of 1999.


                                      21

<PAGE>

Operating income decreased 40.7% to $3.5 million during the second quarter of
2000 from $5.9 million in the 1999 quarter, primarily due to lower net sales
as a result of devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar. Cash operating profit
decreased 5.1% to $22.5 million from $23.7 million in the 1999 second quarter.

Net interest expense increased to $5.1 million during the second quarter of
2000 from $4.7 million in 1999, due to an increase in net debt position and an
increase in the average variable (LIBOR) interest rate.

Other income, net decreased 56.6% to $0.2 million from $0.6 million in the 1999
second quarter, mainly as a result of a foreign exchange gain recorded in the
1999 period.

The effective income tax rate decreased to 17.8% in the second quarter of 2000
from 121.6% in 1999. The increasd rate during the three months ended June 30,
1999, was the result of our decision to establish a valuation allowance on
benefits of tax loss carry-forwards from prior years. This valuation allowance
was established because of the uncertainty that we would generate sufficient
taxable income in the near term to offset against such benefits.

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to the Company from Panamco
Venezuela increased 198.9% to $1.1 million in the 2000 second quarter from
$0.4 million in the 1999 period.


Central America

Panamco's Central American region includes franchises in Costa Rica, Nicaragua
and Guatemala. The region reported net sales of $56.5 million for the second
quarter of 2000, an increase of 6.7% from $52.9 million in the second quarter
of 1999. The increase was attributable to volume growth of 0.4% to 18.4
million unit cases, and to price increases in dollar terms of approximately
6.3%. Soft drink volume increased 1.9% to 17.7 million unit cases and water
volume was down 26.7% to 0.7 million unit cases, due to a change in the
selling strategy for five gallon jug presentations. Panamco's share of sales
increased to 94.4% in Costa Rica, 44.3% in Guatemala and 85.5% in Nicaragua.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 45.7% during the
second quarter of 2000 from 46.4% in the same period of 1999, as a result cost
savings in raw materials.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 39.8% in the
second quarter of 2000 from 40.7% during the same period in 1999, mainly due
to improvement in expense controls and lower depreciation and amortization
costs.

Operating income increased 20.0% to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $6.8 million in the 1999 period, primarily as a result of higher sales.
Cash operating profit increased 9.9% to $12.5 million in the second quarter of
2000 from $11.4 million in the 1999 period.

Net interest expense decreased to $0.3 million from $0.4 million in the second
quarter of 1999, due to a decrease in net debt and improved financing
conditions.

                                      22

<PAGE>


Other expense, net decreased to $0.6 million from $1.5 million in the 1999
second quarter, as a result of lower foreign exchange losses in Nicaragua and
Guatemala.

As a result of the above, net income contributed by Panamco Central America to
the Company increased 57.5% to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 from
$3.5 million in the 1999 period.


Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
1999

Consolidated Results of Operations

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000, increased 6.3%
to $1.25 billion from $1.18 billion in the first half of 1999, mainly due to
an increase of 5.7% in consolidated unit case sales volume. Total consolidated
unit cases sales increased to 593.3 million cases from 561.4 unit cases in the
1999 period. Consolidated soft drink sales volume for the period was up 4.1%,
reflecting increases of 6.9% in Mexico, 7.7% in Brazil, 0.8% in Colombia and
0.7% in the Central American Region, offset by a decline of 1.3% in Venezuela.
Consolidated unit case sales volume of bottled water increased 10.4% to 116.9
million, and unit case sales volume of beer, sold in Brazil and Venezuela,
increased 11.7% to 30.7 million unit cases.

The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 47.9% during the
first half of 2000 from 49.5% during the first half of 1999, primarily driven
by cost savings in raw materials and packaging in several countries due to
improved procurement contracts.

The following discussions are after the recording of facilities reorganization
charges (explained below).

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 50.6% during the
first six months of 2000 from 46.0% during the first six months of 1999,
mainly as a result of the effect of facilities reorganization charges of $79.9
million or 6.4% as a percentage of net sales in 2000 compared to $10.6 million
in the same 1999 period.

Operating income decreased to $18.6 million during the first half of 2000 from
$54.0 million during the same period in 1999. Cash operating profit increased
6.5% to $191.4 from $179.8 million in the first half of 1999.

Net interest expense increased to $55.1 million during the first six months of
2000 from $46.8 million during the same period in 1999, due primarily to an
increase in the average variable (LIBOR) interest rate.

Other expense, net decreased to $12.3 million during the first six months of
2000 from $27.1 million during the same period in 1999, primarily caused by
foreign exchange losses in Brazil of $26.2 million due to a 46.4% devaluation
of the Brazilian real during the first half of 1999, partially offset by $5.0
million of non-operating charges related to the disposal of non-operating
assets during the first half of 2000.

The consolidated effective income tax rate decreased to 19.5% during the first
six months of 2000 from 96.2%, as a result of higher losses reported during
the first six months of 2000, the

                                      23

effect of the asset tax (minimum tax) in Venezuela and our decision to
establish a valuation allowance on benefits of tax loss carry-forwards from
prior years in Venezuela, because of the uncertainty that we would have
sufficient taxable income in the near term to offset against such benefits.

As a result of the foregoing, Panamco had a net loss for the first six months
of 2000 of $60.0 million, or $0.47 per share (basic and diluted), compared to
a net loss of $40.5 million, or $0.31 per share (basic and diluted), during
the first half of 1999.

Facilities reorganization charges. During the first half of 2000 Panamco began
a wide reorganization program designed to improve productivity and strengthen
the Company's competitive position in the beverage industry.

The program includes productivity initiatives to streamline Panamco's
manufacturing infrastructure, consolidation of distribution centers and
warehouses, and the termination of approximately 6,750 jobs across all levels
of the Company.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, Panamco recorded a net one-time charge
of $84.9 million, $79.9 million as facilities reorganization charges and $5.0
million as non-operating charges, reflecting the following items related to
the Company's reorganization program:

1.   Restructuring charges totaling $59.4 million consist of the following:

o    Cash restructuring charges totaling approximately $39.8 million, which
     include $31.9 million from job terminations and $7.0 million from the
     restructuring of our distribution system in Brazil and Venezuela;

o    Non-cash restructuring charges totaling approximately $19.6 million, which
     result from seven plant closings and the related disposal of property,
     plant and equipment;

2.   Asset write-offs totaling $20.5 million, including $15.5 million of
     property, plant and equipment in all operating units and $4.5 million of
     obsolete bottles and cases, mainly in the Venezuelan unit's water jug
     business, and $0.5 million of cash charges related to the disposal of
     property, plant and equipment;

3.   Non-operating asset charges totaling $5.0 million, net related to the
     disposal of non-operating assets, including affiliated companies and land
     in some of the operating units.

As a result of the above, the first six months of 2000 Panamco's income
was impacted by facilities reorganization charges and non-operating charges
totaling $60.3 million, net of the related tax benefit of approximately $24.6
million.


Regional Results

Mexico

Panamco Mexico reported an increase of 25.6% in net sales to $470.2 million
during the first six months of 2000, compared to $374.3 million during the
same period of 1999. Soft drink sales increased 24.4% on volume growth of 6.9%
to 142.2 million unit cases and a 16.5% price increase in dollar terms. Water
volume grew 17.6% to 81.5 million unit cases, mainly

                                      24

<PAGE>


due to the continued increase in water jug sales volume due to increased
coverage of the Company's franchise territories. During the first half of 2000,
Panamco Mexico maintained its strong soft drink share of sales of 80.0%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 45.0% for the first
six months of 2000 versus 48.0% for the same period of 1999, mainly due to
continued cost savings in raw materials.

Operating expenses, including facilities reorganization charges, as a
percentage of net sales increased to 42.3% for the first six months of 2000
from 36.8% in the comparable period for 1999, mainly due to higher
depreciation expenses related to Panamco's ongoing capital expenditure program
and facilities reorganization charges of $19.0 million or 4.0% as a percentage
of net sales.

Operating income increased to $59.6 million for the first six months of 2000
compared to $56.7 million during the same period of 1999. Cash operating
profit increased 28.6% to $97.5 million from $75.8 million for the same period
of 1999.

Net interest expense increased by 46.4% to $7.4 million for the first six
months of 2000 from $5.0 million in 1999 due to the issuance of an aggregate
of $106 million in unsecured peso-denominated promissory notes in November of
1999 in a local debt offering.

Other income, net decreased to $1.4 million for the first six months of 2000
from $5.2 million in 1999, due to a decrease in profit from the sale of fixed
assets of $1.8 million, a decrease in contributions received from The Coca-Cola
Company for capital expenditures of $2.7 million and non-operating charges of
$1.7 million related to the disposal of non-operating assets, offset by an
increase in foreign exchange gain of $1.2 million and as a result of favorable
tax planning strategies.

The effective income tax rate for the period remained virtually flat at 32.8%
from 32.6% in the prior year.

As a result of the foregoing, net income contributed by Panamco Mexico to the
Company decreased 5.9% to $34.0 million for the first six months of 2000
compared to $36.2 million during the same period of 1999. Net income
attributable to Panamco for the first half of 2000 was impacted by facilities
reorganization charges and non-operating charges totaling $13.5 million, net
of the related tax benefit.


Brazil

Panamco Brasil, which operates in the Sao Paulo, Campinas, Santos and Mato
Grosso do Sul regions of Brazil, reported a decrease of 2.7% in net sales to
$244.5 million during the first six months of 2000, compared to net sales of
$251.3 million during the same period of 1999, primarily as a result of the
devaluation of the currency as well as Panamco's promotional pricing strategy
which was launched in March 1999. As a result of this strategy sales volume of
soft drinks increased by 7.7%, to 115.1 million unit cases. Beer volume
increased by 9.9% to 30.1 million unit cases and bottled water volume increased
7.2% to 6.8 million unit cases. During the first half of 2000, Panamco Brasil
maintained a strong 56.8%

                                      25

<PAGE>


total soft drink share of sales, which represents an increase of 6.5 points
since the Company launched its promotional pricing strategy.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 61.4% for the first
six months of 2000 versus 61.9% for the same period of 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to the reductions in the cost of raw materials and
production labor and increased direct sales to supermarkets by Cervejarias
Kaiser in Panamco Brasil territories. While Panamco Brasil records the
commissions from the direct sales made by Cervejarias Kaiser to the
supermarkets as net sales, this amount affects the percentage of cost of sales
as a percentage of total sales.

Operating expenses, including facilities reorganization charges, as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 38.0% for the first six months of 2000
from 38.3% in the comparable period for 1999, mainly due to cost and expense
reductions resulting from the Company's reorganization program.

Operating income increased 539.1% to $1.3 million during the first six months
of 2000 from an operating loss of $0.3 million during the same period of 1999,
primarily as a result of the initial benefits of the reorganization program.
Cash operating profit increased 14.6% to $20.1 million from $17.6 million for
the same period of 1999.

Net interest expense increased by 4.3% to $7.2 million during the first six
months of 2000 versus $6.9 million for the same period of 1999, mainly as a
result of costs incurred in a hedging contract.

Other expense, net decreased to $5.4 million during the first six months of
2000 from $31.1 million for the same period of 1999, mainly as a result of a
decrease in foreign exchange loss, which was $0.2 million for the first half
of 2000 due to a 0.6% devaluation of the Brazilian real versus a $26.2 million
foreign exchange loss in the first half of 1999 due to a 46.4% devaluation.
Panamco Brasil also had non-operating charges of $1.0 million related to the
disposal of non-operating assets during the first half of 2000.

The effective income tax benefit increased to 51.9% during the first six
months of 2000 from 27.6% for the same period of 1999, mainly due to
non-deductible losses in the equity of Cervejarias Kaiser and as a result of
favorable tax planning strategies.

As a result of the above, the net loss contributed to Panamco by Panamco
Brasil decreased 80.4% to $5.4 million during the first six months of 2000
from $27.3 million in the 1999 period. This net loss was impacted by
facilities reorganization charges and non-operating charges totaling $8.1
million, net of the related tax benefit.


Colombia

Panamco Colombia, which operates throughout Colombia, reported net sales of
$185.4 million for the six months ended 2000, down 9.8% from the 1999 period.
The revenue decline was mainly due to the devaluation of the Colombian Peso
and to a 14.4% decrease in water volume to 16.9 million unit cases, partially
offset by a 0.8% increase in soft drink volume to 75.9 million unit cases. The
water volume decrease was attributable to economic recession and price
increases mainly in individual-size presentations. Panamco Colombia continued

                                      26

<PAGE>


strengthening its position in the market, achieving a soft drink share of
sales of 67.7% during the first half of 2000.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.2% for the first
six months 2000 from 44.1% in the same period of 1999, as a result of cost
savings in raw materials, basically in sugar prices.

Operating expenses, including facilities reorganization charges, as a
percentage of net sales increased to 62.8% during the first six months of 2000
from 52.0% in the 1999 period, mainly due to Panamco's facilities
reorganization charges of $18.2 million or 9.8% as a percentage of net sales.

Operating loss increased 214.0% to $9.2 million during the first six months of
2000 from operating income of $8.1 million in the 1999 period, primarily as a
result of lower sales and the facilities reorganization charges. Cash
operating profit decreased 26.0% to $27.5 million from $37.2 million in the
1999 period.

Net interest expense decreased during the first half of 2000 to $1.9 million
from $2.9 million in the 1999 period, caused by less interest paid resulting
from debt reduction and a larger currency translation effect during the period
compared to 1999.

Other expense, net increased to $5.6 million for the first six months of 2000
from income of $1.6 in the 1999 period, due to non-operating charges of $2.5
million related to the disposal of non-operating assets and a $1.6 million
provision for contingencies.

The effective income tax rate increased to 31.2% for the first six months of
2000 from 19.2% in the 1999 period, primarily due to the recognition of tax
credits recorded during the first quarter of 1999, which were not available in
the 2000 quarter.

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to the Company from Panamco
Colombia increased 312.4% to $11.2 million during the first six months of 2000
from net income of $5.3 million in the 1999 period. This net loss was impacted
by facilities reorganization charges and non-operating charges totaling $14.2
million, net of the related tax benefit.


Venezuela

Panamco Venezuela reported net sales of $239.8 million for the six months
ended 2000, up 0.8% from 1999. Devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar was not
fully offset by price increases in local currency for the six month period.
Total sales volume increased by 1.7% to 87.2 million unit cases, a slight
increase mainly offset by the difficult economic conditions in Venezuela.
Panamco Venezuela's soft drink share of sales reached 69.4% during the first
half of the year.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 45.7% during the first
six months of 2000 from 44.6% during the same period in 1999, as a result of
higher costs associated with the increase in sales of nonreturnable
presentations.

Operating expenses, including facilities reorganization charges, as a
percentage of net sales increased to 65.8% during the first six months of 2000
from 57.8% in the 1999 period, mainly

                                      27

<PAGE>


due to facilities reorganization charges of $30.9 million or 12.9% as a
percentage of net sales, representing an increase of 9.4 points versus the
first half of 1999.

Operating loss increased 396.7% to $27.6 million from $5.6 million in the
first half of 1999, primarily as a result of the increase in facilities
reorganization charges. Cash operating profit decreased 7.8% to $28.1 million
from $30.5 million in the 1999 period.

Net interest expense increased during the first six months of 2000 to $11.0
million from $8.0 million in 1999, due to an increase in total debt of 17.2%
and an increase in the average variable (LIBOR) interest rate.

Other expense, net increased 140.0% to $0.8 million from other income, net of
$1.9 million in the first half 1999, mainly as a result of provisions of $1.3
million for legal contingencies related to prior years.

The effective income tax rate decreased to 10.0% during the first six months
of 2000 from 28.8% in 1999. The increased rate during the first six months of
1999 was primarily due to the asset tax or minimum tax paid in Venezuela as a
result of a net loss position before income taxes and our decision to
establish a valuation allowance on benefits of tax loss carry-forwards from
prior years, because of the uncertainty that we would generate sufficient
taxable income in the near term to offset against such benefits.

As a result of the above, net loss attributable to the Company from Panamco
Venezuela increased 134.7% to $35.4 million during the first six months of
2000 from $15.1 million in the 1999 period. The net loss attributable to
Panamco for the first half of 2000 was impacted by facilities reorganization
charges and non-operating charges totaling $23.8 million, net of the related
tax benefit.


Central America

Panamco's Central American region includes franchises in Costa Rica, Nicaragua
and Guatemala. The region reported net sales of $109.4 million for the six
months ended June 2000, an increase of 2.9% from $106.4 million in 1999. The
increase was attributable to price increases in dollar terms of approximately
3.4%, partially offset by volume decline of 0.8% to 36.2 million unit cases.
Soft drink volume increased 0.7% to 34.6 million unit cases and water volume
was down 26.9% to 1.3 million unit cases, due to a change in selling strategy
for jug presentations. Panamco's share of sales increased to 94.3% in Costa
Rica, 43.7% in Guatemala and 85.3% in Nicaragua during the first half of the
year.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 46.1% during the first
six months of 2000 from 46.4% in the same period of 1999, as a result of cost
savings in raw materials.

Operating expenses, including facilities reorganization charges, as a
percentage of net sales increased to 42.0% during the first six months of 2000
from 40.6% during the same period last year, primarily as a result of
facilities charges of $0.7 million or 0.7% as a percentage of net sales.

Operating income decreased 5.4% to $13.1 million during the first six months
of 2000 from $13.9 million in the 1999 period, primarily as a result of higher
operating expenses as a

                                      28

<PAGE>


percentage of net sales. Cash operating profit decreased 2.6% to $22.3 million
in the first half of 2000 from $22.9 million in the 1999 period.

Net interest expense decreased to $0.6 million from $1.0 million during the
first six months of 2000, due to a decrease in net debt and improved financing
conditions.

Other expense, net decreased to $0.8 million from $2.5 million during the
first six months of 2000, mainly as a result of lower foreign exchange losses
in Nicaragua and Guatemala.

As a result of the above, net income contributed by Panamco Central America to
the Company increased 23.4% to $9.0 million during the first six months of
2000 from $7.3 million in the 1999 period. Net income attributable to Panamco
for the first half of 2000 was impacted by facilities reorganization charges
and non-operating charges totaling $0.5 million, net of the related tax
benefit.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2000, we had consolidated cash and cash equivalents of $145.0
million, a decrease of 5.0% compared to $152.6 million as of December 31,
1999. We have investments in bank deposits for $145.0 million and marketable
bonds amounting to $37.5 million which guarantee bank loans obtained by
subsidiaries and are therefore classified as noncurrent investments.

Consolidated cash flow provided by operations was $125.5 million and $126.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Total consolidated indebtedness was $1,319.0 million as of June 30, 2000,
consisting of $870.0 million at the holding company level and $449.0 million
of subsidiary indebtedness. Of the total debt, 87.5% is dollar denominated and
90.6% is long-term, with an average tenor of 3.8 years and average cost of
debt before taxes of 9.2%.

On December 9, 1999, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase
program for up to $100 million of our Class A common stock. We may repurchase
shares in the open market as well as in privately negotiated transactions
based on prevailing market conditions. We have repurchased 1,014,500 shares
for $19.3 million at an average price per share of $19.05 since the beginning
of the program (December 1999). During the first six months of 2000, we
repurchased 645,916 shares for an aggregate of $11.8 million at an average
price per share of $18.22.

Total capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $66.3
million compared to $110.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This decrease resulted primarily from capital spending rationalization in all
countries.

On May 25, 2000, Panamco Brasil entered into a $30 million interest rate swap
hedging contract with Citibank, N.A. The contract includes a $10 million
interest rate swap at 19.7% per year with a one year expiration date and a $20
million interest rate swap at 19.7% per year with a one and a half year
expiration date.
