Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its majority owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and 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.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.

2. Seasonality of Business

Operating results for the second quarter of 2007 (“Q2 2007”) and the first half of 2007 (“YTD 2007”) are not indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2007 because of business seasonality. Business seasonality results primarily from higher sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.

3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership

On July 2, 1993, the Company and The Coca-Cola Company formed Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”) to distribute and market nonalcoholic beverages primarily in portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The Company provides a portion of the finished products to Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the business of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Minority interest as of July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006 represents the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company, which was 22.7% for all periods presented.

10. Debt

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility (“$200 million facility”), replacing its $100 million facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012 and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The $200 million facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%. In addition, there is a fee of .10% required for this facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants related to ratio requirements for interest coverage and long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit agreement. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On July 1, 2007 the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility.

The Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These lines of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at July 1, 2007, are made available at the discretion of two participating banks at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks. On July 1, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the lines of credit.

After taking into account all of its interest rate hedging activities, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 6.7%, 6.9% and 6.7% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006, respectively. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 6.6% for both YTD 2007 and YTD 2006. As of July 1, 2007, approximately 48% of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $772.9 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

The Company’s public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

All of the outstanding long-term debt has been issued by the Company with none being issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to mitigate risk from interest rate fluctuations. The Company has historically altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Company’s debt level and the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are performed to review the impact on the Company’s financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements are LIBOR-based.

Derivative financial instruments were summarized as follows:

The Company had nine interest rate swap agreements as of July 1, 2007 with varying terms that effectively converted $325 million of the Company’s fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. All of the interest rate swap agreements have been accounted for as fair value hedges.

The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which the Company also has other financial relationships. The Company uses several different financial institutions for interest rate derivative contracts to minimize the concentration of credit risk. While the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, the Company does not anticipate nonperformance by these parties. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of the derivative transactions.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the Company’s vehicle fuel purchases. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used in the Company’s delivery fleet. Derivative instruments used include puts and calls which effectively establish an upper and lower limit on the Company’s price of fuel within periods covered by the instruments. The Company currently accounts for its fuel hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.

12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of its financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items.

Public Debt Securities

The fair values of the Company’s public debt securities are based on estimated market prices.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair values for the Company’s interest rate swap and fuel hedging agreements are based on current settlement values.

Letters of Credit

The fair values of the Company’s letters of credit, obtained from financial institutions, are based on the notional amounts of the instruments. These letters of credit primarily relate to the Company’s property and casualty insurance programs.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s debt, derivative financial instruments and letters of credit were as follows:


	July 1, 2007					December 31, 2006				July 2, 2006
	Carrying		Fair			Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair

Public debt securities	$	691,450	$	670,475		$	691,450	$	679,991	$	691,450	$	664,867
Interest rate swap agreements		7,658		7,658			6,950		6,950		11,693		11,693
Fuel hedging agreements		—		(496	)		—		—		—		—
Letters of credit		—		21,271			—		22,068		—		19,786

The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements at July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006 represent the estimated amounts the Company would have paid upon termination of these agreements, which are the current settlement values. The fair value of the fuel hedging agreements at July 1, 2007 represents the estimated amount the Company would have received upon termination of these agreements, which are the current settlement values.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a member of South Atlantic Canners, Inc. (“SAC”), a manufacturing cooperative from which it is obligated to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis through May 2014. The Company is also a member of Southeastern Container (“Southeastern”), a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative, from which it is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning SAC and Southeastern.

The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt and lease obligations. The amounts guaranteed were $47.3 million, $42.9 million and $44.7 million as of July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with these guarantees. The Company holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees and no contractual recourse exists that would enable the Company to recover amounts guaranteed. The guarantees relate to the debt and lease obligations of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at various times through 2021. The members of both cooperatives consist solely of Coca-Cola bottlers. The Company does not anticipate either of these cooperatives will fail to fulfill their commitments under these agreements. The Company further believes each of these cooperatives has sufficient assets, including production equipment, facilities and working capital, and the ability to adjust selling prices of their products to adequately mitigate the risk of material loss.

The Company has identified SAC and Southeastern as variable interest entities and has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of either of the cooperatives. The Company’s variable interest in these cooperatives includes an equity ownership in each of the entities and the guarantee of certain indebtedness. As of July 1, 2007, SAC had total assets of $48.7 million and total debt of $25.2 million. SAC had total revenue for YTD 2007 of $95.2 million. As of July 1, 2007, Southeastern had total assets of $379.1 million and total debt of $265.0 million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2007 of $281.4 million.

In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt and lease obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees on July 1, 2007 would have been $55.4 million and the Company’s maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $34.2 million for SAC and $32.0 million for Southeastern.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC for more than ten years.

The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On July 1, 2007, these letters of credit totaled $21.3 million.

The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual arrangements as of July 1, 2007 amounted to $25.5 million and expire at various dates through 2016.

The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.

The Company’s tax filings are subject to audit by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any ultimate amounts that are likely to result from these audits; however, final assessments, if any, could be different than the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for YTD 2007 and YTD 2006 was 38.8% and 41.6%, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the income tax expense at the statutory federal rate to actual income tax expense.

Statutory expense	$	9,338		$	5,816

Income tax expense	$	10,339		$	6,917

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In May 2007, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 effective as of January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had $13.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $7.6 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of July 1, 2007, the Company had $13.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits including accrued interest of which $7.9 million would effect the Company’s effective rate if recognized. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.6 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of July 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.9 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.

Various tax years from 1988 remain open due to loss carryforwards. The tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based on the Company’s ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that becomes available to the Company.

16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of net income and adjustments relative to the Company’s pension and postretirement medical benefit plans and foreign currency translation adjustments required because of a small subsidiary of the Company that performs data analysis and provides consulting services primarily in Europe. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”), at the end of 2006.

A summary of accumulated other comprehensive loss is as follows:


	Dec. 31,			Pre-tax			Tax			July 1,
In Thousands	2006			Activity			Effect			2007

Net pension activity:

Total	$	(27,226	)	$	966		$	(380	)	$	(26,640	)

The only change in accumulated other comprehensive loss in YTD 2006 was an increase in minimum pension liability adjustment, net of tax, of $2.0 million.

17. Capital Transactions

The Company has two classes of common stock outstanding, Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The Common Stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Market^sm tier of The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC^{^®}under the symbol COKE. There is no established public trading market for the Class B Common Stock. Shares of the Class B Common Stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of the holders of Class B Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, no cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically described in the Certificate of Incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on

17. Capital Transactions

the Common Stock. During YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, dividends of $.50 per share were declared and paid on both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share at all meetings of stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at such meetings. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters brought before the Company’s stockholders.

In the event of liquidation, there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.

On May 12, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved a restricted stock award for J. Frank Harrison, III, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock. The fair value of the restricted stock award, when approved, was approximately $11.7 million based on the market price of the Common Stock on the effective date of the award. The award provides the shares of restricted stock vest at the rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The vesting of each annual installment is contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan. The restricted stock award does not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividend or voting rights until each installment has vested and the shares are issued.

On February 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and should be issued, pursuant to the performance-based award discussed above, to Mr. Harrison, III in connection with his services as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006. On February 28, 2007, the Compensation Committee determined an additional 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and should be issued to Mr. Harrison, III in connection with his services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

The Company’s only share based compensation is the restricted stock award to Mr. Harrison, III, as previously described. Each annual 20,000 share tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service period.

The Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance requirement for the restricted stock awards, are approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year.

A summary of restricted stock awards is as follows:


					Annual		First Half
	Shares		Grant-Date		Compensation		Compensation
Year	Awarded		Price		Expense		Expense

2006		20,000	$	46.45	$	929,000	$	464,500
2007		20,000		58.53		1,170,600		585,300

In addition, the Company reimburses Mr. Harrison, III for income taxes to be paid on the shares if the performance requirement is met and the shares are issued. The Company accrues the estimated cost of the income tax reimbursement over the one-year service period.

The increase in the number of shares outstanding in YTD 2007 was due to the issuance of 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award and the conversion of 500 shares from Class B Common Stock to Common Stock. The increase in the number of shares outstanding in YTD 2006 was due to the issuance of 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award.

18. Benefit Plans

Recently Adopted Pronouncement

The Company adopted SFAS No. 158 at the end of fiscal 2006. The Company applied the modified prospective transition method and prior periods were not restated. The impact of the adoption was to increase pension and postretirement benefit obligations by $4.2 million with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect of $1.6 million. The adoption does not impact periodic benefit costs.

Pension Plans

Retirement benefits under the two Company-sponsored pension plans are based on the employee’s length of service, average compensation over the five consecutive years which gives the highest average compensation and the average of the Social Security taxable wage base during the 35-year period before a participant reaches Social Security retirement age. Contributions to the plans are based on the projected unit credit actuarial funding method and are limited to the amounts currently deductible for income tax purposes.

On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. The plan amendment was accounted for as a plan “curtailment” under SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits (as amended).” The curtailment resulted in a reduction of the Company’s projected benefit obligation which was offset against the Company’s unrecognized net loss. As a result of the curtailment, the impact on net income and on net pension expense prior to the effective date of June 30, 2006 were immaterial. Periodic

The Company did not contribute to its Company-sponsored pension plans during YTD 2007 and does not expect to make contributions to its principal Company-sponsored pension plan during the remainder of 2007.

Postretirement Benefits

The Company provides postretirement benefits for a portion of its current employees. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during employees’ periods of active service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future.

The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost were as follows:

The Company provides a portion of the finished products for Piedmont at cost and receives a fee for managing the operations of Piedmont pursuant to a management agreement. The Company sold product at cost to Piedmont during YTD 2007 and YTD 2006 totaling $40.0 million and $37.8 million, respectively. The Company received $10.8 million for management services pursuant to its management agreement with Piedmont for both YTD 2007 and YTD 2006. The Company provides financing for Piedmont at the Company’s average cost of funds plus 0.50%. As of July 1, 2007, the Company had loaned $82.0 million to Piedmont. The loan has a December 31, 2010 maturity date. The Company also subleases various fleet and vending equipment to Piedmont at cost. These sublease rentals amounted to $3.8 million and $4.1 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and Piedmont have been eliminated.

The Company is a shareholder in two cooperatives from which it purchases substantially all its requirements for plastic bottles. Net purchases from these cooperatives were $34.7 million and $34.6 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively. In connection with its participation in one of these cooperatives, the Company has guaranteed a portion of the cooperative’s debt. Such guarantee amounted to $22.1 million as of July 1, 2007.

The Company is a member of SAC, a manufacturing cooperative. SAC sells finished products to the Company and Piedmont at cost. Purchases from SAC by the Company and Piedmont for finished products were $74.1 million and $69.9 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively. The Company also manages the operations of SAC pursuant to a management agreement. Management fees earned from SAC were $.7 million and $.8 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively.

The Company leases from Harrison Limited Partnership One (“HLP”) the Snyder Production Center and an adjacent sales facility, which are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. HLP is directly and indirectly owned by trusts of which J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Deborah S. Harrison, a director of the Company, are trustees and beneficiaries. The principal balance outstanding under this capital lease as of July 1, 2007 was $38.8 million. Rental payments related to this lease were $2.1 million and $1.9 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively.

The Company leases from Beacon Investment Corporation (“Beacon”), the Company’s headquarters office facility and an adjacent office facility. Beacon’s sole shareholder is J. Frank Harrison, III. On December 18, 2006, the Company modified this lease agreement (effective January 1, 2007) with Beacon which expires in December 2021. The modified lease would not have changed the classification of the existing lease had it been in effect on March 1, 2004 when the lease was capitalized and did not extend the term of the lease (remaining lease term was reduced from 21 years to 15 years). Accordingly, the present value of the leased property under capital lease and capital lease obligations was adjusted by an amount equal to the difference between the future minimum lease payments under the modified lease agreement and the present value of the existing obligation on

22. Risks and Uncertainties

Approximately 89% of the Company’s YTD 2007 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of the concentrates or syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 11% of the Company’s YTD 2007 bottle/can volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies and the Company. The Company has bottling contracts under which it has various requirements to meet. Failure to meet the requirements of these bottling contracts could result in the loss of distribution rights for the respective product.

The Company’s products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and other outlets. During YTD 2007, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume to retail customers was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can volume to retail customers of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customers, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 18% and 12% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume to retail customers during YTD 2007, respectively. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s total net sales during YTD 2007.

The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from one domestic supplier. The Company currently obtains all of its plastic bottles from two domestic cooperatives.

Certain liabilities of the Company are subject to risk due to changes in both long-term and short-term interest rates. These liabilities include floating rate debt, leases with payments determined on floating interest rates, postretirement benefit obligations and the Company’s pension liability.

Approximately 7% of the Company’s labor force is currently covered by collective bargaining agreements. One collective bargaining contract covering less than .5% of the Company’s employees will expire during the remainder of 2007.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, which was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement that the benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the date of the employer’s statement of financial position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of the adoption of this Statement was to increase the Company’s pension and postretirement liabilities by $4.2 million with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect, of $1.6 million. The Company anticipates changing the measurement date to its fiscal year end date in fiscal 2008.

In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In May 2007, FASB issued FSP FIN 48-1. FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 were effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements

presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, value added and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-03 was effective January 1, 2007. The Company records substantially all of the taxes within the scope of EITF 06-03 on a net basis.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement does not require any new fair value measurements but could change the current practices in measuring current fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Statement on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Statement on the consolidated financial statements.

25. Restructuring Expenses

On February 2, 2007, the Company initiated plans to simplify its operating management structure and reduce its workforce in order to improve operating efficiencies across the Company’s business. The restructuring expenses consist primarily of one-time termination benefits and other associated costs, primarily relocation expenses for certain employees. During YTD 2007, the Company incurred $2.4 million in restructuring expenses, which are included in selling, delivery and administrative expenses. The Company anticipates the total restructuring expenses will be in the range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million and that all of the cash expenditures will occur prior to 2007 fiscal year end.

The following summarizes restructuring activity for YTD 2007:

	•		Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

The consolidated statements of operations for the quarters ended July 1, 2007 and July 2, 2006 and YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, the consolidated statements of cash flows for YTD 2007 and YTD 2006 and the consolidated balance sheets at July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006 include the consolidated operations of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries including Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership (“Piedmont”). Minority interest consists of The Coca-Cola Company’s interest in Piedmont, which was 22.7% for all periods presented.

Our Business and the Nonalcoholic Beverage Industry

The Company produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca-Cola Company, which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the world. The Company is the second largest bottler of products of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States, operating in eleven states primarily in the Southeast. The Company also distributes several other beverage brands. These product offerings include both sparkling and still beverages. Sparkling beverages are primarily carbonated beverages including energy products. Still beverages are primarily noncarbonated beverages such as bottled water, tea, ready to drink coffee, enhanced water, juices and sports drinks. The Company had net sales of approximately $1.4 billion in 2006.

The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Company’s competitors in these markets include bottlers and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products and private label products. In each region in which the Company operates, between 75% and 95% of sparkling beverage sales in bottles, cans and other containers are accounted for by the Company and its principal competitors, which in each region includes the local bottler of Pepsi-Cola and, in some regions, the local bottler of Dr Pepper, Royal Crown and/or 7-Up products. During the last three years, industry sales of sugar sparkling beverages, other than energy products, have declined. The decline in sugar sparkling beverages has generally been offset by sales growth in other nonalcoholic product categories. The sparkling beverage category (including energy products) represents 83% of the Company’s YTD 2007 bottle/can net sales.

The principal methods of competition in the nonalcoholic beverage industry are point-of-sale merchandising, new product introductions, new vending and dispensing equipment, packaging changes, pricing, price promotions, product quality, retail space management, customer service, frequency of distribution and advertising. The Company believes it is competitive in its territories with respect to each of these methods of competition.

Operating results for Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 are not indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 30, 2007 because of business seasonality. Business seasonality results primarily from higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation and interest expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.

Net sales by product category were as follows:

Areas of Emphasis

Key priorities for the Company include revenue management, innovation, distribution cost management and productivity.

Revenue Management

Revenue management requires a strategy which reflects consideration for pricing of brands and packages within product categories and channels, as well as highly effective working relationships with customers and disciplined

fact-based decision-making. Revenue management has been and continues to be a key performance driver which has significant impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Innovation

Sparkling beverages volume, other than energy products, has declined over the past several years. Innovation of both new brands and packages has been and will continue to be critical to the Company’s overall revenue. The Company introduced new products from The Coca-Cola Company, Diet Coke Plus and Dasani Plus, during Q2 2007. The Company also modified its energy product portfolio in Q2 2007 with the addition of BooKoo energy products to the Full Throttle energy product line up and the introduction of its own energy product.

The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Respect, a vitamin enhanced beverage, Tum-E Yummies, a noncarbonated flavored drink, and its own energy drink, and became the exclusive licensee of Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes in the United States. These brands enable the Company to participate in strong growth categories and capitalize on distribution channels that include the Company’s traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside the Company’s traditional territory. While the growth prospects of Company-owned or licensed brands appear very promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing these brands is anticipated to be significant as well.

The Company has also fostered innovation as evidenced by the development of specialty packaging for customers, the conversion of a portion of the Company’s operations to the CooLift^{^®}delivery system, and the implementation in Q2 2007 of a service module in our enterprise resource planning software platform (SAP) for the automation, scheduling, installation, delivery and repair of cold drink dispensing equipment.

Distribution Cost Management

Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $94.6 million and $97.7 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively. Over the past several years, the Company has focused on converting its distribution system from a conventional routing system to a predictive system. This conversion to a predictive system has allowed the Company to more efficiently handle increasing numbers of brands and packages. In addition, the Company has closed a number of smaller sales distribution centers reducing its fixed warehouse-related costs.

The Company has three primary delivery systems for its current business:

	•		bulk delivery for large supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores;

	•		pre-sell delivery for convenience stores, drug stores, small supermarkets and on-premise accounts; and

	•		full service delivery for its full service vending customers.

In 2006, the Company began changing its delivery method for its pre-sell delivery system. Historically, the Company loaded its trucks at a warehouse with products the route delivery employee would deliver. The delivery employee was responsible for pulling the required products off a side load truck at each customer location to fill the customer’s order. The Company began using a new CooLift^® delivery system in 2006 in a portion of our operations which involves pre-building orders in the warehouse on a small pallet the delivery employee can roll off a truck directly into the customer’s location. The CooLift^® delivery system involves the use of a rear loading truck rather than conventional side loading truck. The Company anticipates the implementation of this delivery system will continue over the next several years. This rollout will continue to require additional capital spending for the new type of delivery vehicle. The Company anticipates that this change in delivery methodology will result in significant savings in future years and more efficient delivery of a greater number of products.

Distribution cost management will continue to be a key area of emphasis for the Company for the next several years.

Productivity

A key driver in the Company’s selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A”) expense management relates to ongoing improvements in labor and asset productivity. On February 2, 2007, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to simplify and streamline its operating management structure, which included a separation of the sales function from the delivery function to provide dedicated focus on each function and enhanced productivity in the future. The Company continues to focus on its supply chain and distribution functions for opportunities to improve its overall productivity.

Common Stock	$	1.79	$	1.06	$	.73			68.9

The Company’s net sales grew 1.0% and 1.1% in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 from the same periods in 2006. The net sales increase in Q2 2007 was primarily due to a 4.1% increase in sales price per unit offset by a 2.5% decrease in bottle/can volume and a 6.3%, or $2.6 million, decrease in sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers (“bottler sales”). The net sales increase in YTD 2007 was primarily due to a 2.4% increase in sales price per unit offset by a .8% decrease in bottle/can volume and an approximate 6.5%, or $5.1 million, decrease in bottler sales. The decrease in bottle/can volume in Q2 2007 compared to Q2 2006 was due to a decrease in sparkling beverages (other than energy) partially offset by increases in water and tea sales. The decrease in sparkling beverages volume reflects the impact of higher prices and weak performance of sugar sparkling beverages. The decrease in bottler sales was due to a decrease in sales of sparkling beverages partially offset by an increase in tea volume.

The Company has seen declines in the demand for sugar sparkling beverages over the past several years and expects this trend will continue. The Company anticipates overall bottle/can revenue will be primarily dependent upon continued growth in diet sparkling products, sports drinks, bottled water, tea and energy products; the introduction of new beverage products and the appropriate pricing of brands and packaging within sales channels.

Gross margin increased 1.0% and 2.3% in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 compared to Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively. The Company’s gross margin percentage was 43.4% in both Q2 2007 and Q2 2006 and 44.1% in YTD 2007 compared to 43.6% in YTD 2006. The Company’s gross margin percentage excluding bottler sales, which have lower margins than the Company’s bottle/can sales to retail customers, was 47.7% in Q2 2007 compared to 48.2% in Q2 2006 and 48.5% in YTD 2007 compared to 48.6% in YTD 2006. The decreases in gross margin percentage were primarily due to higher raw material costs partially offset by higher bottle/can sales price per unit, increases in marketing funding from The Coca-Cola Company and reduced manufacturing overhead costs.

S,D&A expenses decreased 1.2% and .9% in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 from Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in Q2 2007 was primarily attributable to decreases in property and casualty insurance of approximately 17%, a decrease in employee benefit expenses of approximately 15% and a gain from the sale of aircraft. The decrease in S,D&A expenses in YTD 2007 was primarily attributable to decreases in property and casualty insurance of approximately 18%, a decrease in employee benefit expenses of approximately 14% and a gain from the sale of aircraft partially offset by restructuring expenses.

Interest expense decreased 4.3% in Q2 2007 compared to Q2 2006 and 2.2% in YTD 2007 compared to YTD 2006. The decrease in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on short term investments. The overall weighted average interest rate was 6.6% for both YTD 2007 and YTD 2006. Interest earned on short-term cash investments in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 was $.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to $.1 million and $.3 million in Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Hedging Activities — Interest Rate Hedging” section of M,D&A for additional information.

Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial position in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 a discussion of the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

The Company has not made changes in any critical accounting policies during YTD 2007. Any changes in critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company during the quarter in which a change is made.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS No. 158”). This Statement was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement that the benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the date of the employer’s statement of financial position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of the adoption of this Statement was to increase the Company’s pension and postretirement liabilities by $4.2 million with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect, of $1.6 million. The Company anticipates changing the measurement date to its fiscal year end date in fiscal 2008.

In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In May 2007, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 were effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (“EITF 06-03”). EITF 06-03 provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions (e.g. sales, use, value added and excise taxes) between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy

decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. EITF 06-03 was effective January 1, 2007. The Company records substantially all of the taxes within the scope of EITF 06-03 on a net basis.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Statement on the consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Q2 2007 Compared to Q2 2006 and YTD 2007 Compared to YTD 2006

Net Sales

Net sales increased $3.8 million, or 1.0%, to $390.4 million in Q2 2007 compared to $386.6 million in Q2 2006. Net sales increased $8.2 million, or 1.1% to $728.0 million in YTD 2007 compared to $719.8 million in YTD 2006.

The increases in net sales were the result of the following:


Q2 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	7.0		4.1% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit primarily due to higher net pricing for sparkling beverages offset by lower net pricing for water
	(6.2	)	2.5% decrease in bottle/can volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sugar sparkling beverages partially offset by an increase in sales of water and tea products
	(2.8	)	6.8% decrease in bottler sales volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sparkling beverages offset partially by an increase in sales of tea products
	1.0		Increase in delivery fees from certain customers
	1.0		5.3% increase in sales price per unit of postmix primarily due to higher sales prices for sparkling beverages
	3.8		Other

$	3.8		Total increase in net sales


YTD 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	6.9		2.4% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit primarily due to higher net pricing for sparkling beverages offset by lower net pricing for water
	(6.7	)	8.5% decrease in bottler sales volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sparkling beverages offset partially by an increase in sales of tea products
	2.1		Increase in delivery fees from certain customers
	2.0		5.5% increase in sales price per unit of postmix primarily due to higher sales price for sparkling beverages
	1.6		2.2% increase in sales price per unit of bottler sales primarily due to higher overall sales prices
	2.3		Other

$	8.2		Total increase in net sales

In Q2 2007 and YTD 2007, the Company’s bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 83.4% and 83.1%, respectively, of the Company’s total net sales. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. To the extent the Company is able to increase volume in higher margin packages sold through higher margin channels, bottle/can net pricing per unit can increase without an actual increase in wholesale pricing. The Company’s bottle/can net pricing per unit in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 increased compared to Q2 2006 and YTD 2006 primarily due to higher prices for sparkling beverages offset by a decrease in net pricing of bottled water in the supermarket channel. The decrease in sparkling beverages volume reflects the impact of higher prices and weak performance of sugar sparkling beverages.

Product category sales volume in Q2 2007 and Q2 2006 and YTD 2007 and YTD 2006 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:


	Bottle/Can Sales Volume						Bottle/Can Sales Volume
Product Category	Q2 2007			Q2 2006			% Increase (Decrease)
Sparkling beverages (including energy products)		84.9	%		86.4	%		(4.2	)
Still beverages		15.1	%		13.6	%		8.6

Total bottle/can sales volume		100.0	%		100.0	%		(2.5	)


	Bottle/Can Sales Volume						Bottle/Can Sales Volume
Product Category	YTD 2007			YTD 2006			% Increase (Decrease)
Sparkling beverages (including energy products)		85.2	%		87.1	%		(3.0	)
Still beverages		14.8	%		12.9	%		13.9

Total bottle/can sales volume		100.0	%		100.0	%		(.8	)

Product innovation will continue to be an important factor impacting the Company’s overall bottle/can revenue in the future. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007 (“Q1 2007”), the Company began distribution of Enviga and Gold Peak, new tea products from The Coca-Cola Company, and distribution of two of its own products, Respect and Tum-E Yummies. Respect is an all-natural vitamin enhanced beverage, while Tum-E Yummies is a flavored noncarbonated drink. Beginning in Q2 2007, the Company began distribution of Diet Coke Plus, a vitamin enhanced cola, and Dasani Plus, an enhanced water beverage, two new products from The Coca-Cola Company, and distribution of BooKoo energy products and the Company’s own energy product.

The Company’s products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During YTD 2007, approximately 68% of the Company’s bottle/can volume was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Company’s largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 18% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume during YTD 2007. The Company’s second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 12% of the Company’s total bottle/can volume in YTD 2007. All of the Company’s beverage sales are to customers in the United States.

The Company charges certain customers a delivery fee to offset a portion of the Company’s delivery and handling costs. The Company initiated this delivery fee in October 2005. The delivery fee is recorded in net sales and was $3.4 million and $1.3 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the following: raw material costs, manufacturing labor, manufacturing overhead including depreciation expense, manufacturing warehousing costs and shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers.

Cost of sales increased 1.0%, or $2.2 million, to $221.2 million in Q2 2007 compared to $218.9 million in Q2 2006. Cost of sales increased $1.1 million, or .3% to $407.2 million in YTD 2007 compared to $406.1 million in YTD 2006.

The increases in cost of sales were principally attributable to the following:


Q2 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	12.6		Increase in raw material costs (primarily aluminum packaging, sweetener and concentrate costs)
	(3.7	)	Increase in marketing funding received primarily from The Coca-Cola Company
	(2.8	)	Decrease in bottle/can volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sugar sparkling beverages partially offset by an increase in sales of water and tea products
	(2.8	)	Decrease in bottler sales volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sparkling beverages offset partially by an increase in sales of tea products
	(1.6	)	Decrease in manufacturing overhead costs
	.5		Other

$	2.2		Total increase in cost of sales


YTD 2007			Attributable to:

	(6.4	)	Increase in marketing funding received primarily from The Coca-Cola Company
	(5.8	)	Decrease in manufacturing overhead costs
	(.2	)	Other

$	1.1		Total increase in cost of sales

Beginning in Q1 2007, the majority of the Company’s aluminum packaging requirements did not have any ceiling price protection. The Company anticipates the cost of aluminum cans will increase by 17% to 20% during 2007. High fructose corn syrup costs are also expected to increase significantly during 2007 as a result of increasing demand for corn products around the world such as for ethanol production. The Company anticipates the costs of high fructose corn syrup will increase by 25% to 35% during 2007. The combined impact of increasing costs for aluminum cans and high fructose corn syrup is anticipated to continue increasing cost of sales during 2007.

The Company relies extensively on advertising and sales promotion in the marketing of its products. The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies that supply concentrates, syrups and finished products to the Company make substantial marketing and advertising expenditures to promote sales in the local territories served by the Company. The Company also benefits from national advertising programs conducted by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies. Certain of the marketing expenditures by The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies are made pursuant to annual arrangements. Although The Coca-Cola Company has advised the Company that it intends to continue to provide marketing funding support, it is not obligated to do so under the Company’s Bottle Contracts. Significant decreases in marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company or other beverage companies could adversely impact operating results of the Company in the future.

Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, which includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $23.6 million for YTD 2007 compared to $17.2 million for YTD 2006 and was recorded as a reduction in cost of sales.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $1.6 million, or 1.0%, to $169.3 million in Q2 2007 from $167.7 million in Q2 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales remained constant at 43.4% in both Q2 2007 and Q2 2006. Gross margin increased $7.1 million, or 2.3%, to $320.8 million in YTD 2007 compared to $313.7 million in YTD 2006. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 44.1% in YTD 2007 from 43.6% in YTD 2006.

The increases in gross margin were primarily the result of the following:


Q2 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	(12.6	)	Increase in raw material costs (primarily aluminum packaging, sweetener and concentrate costs)
	7.0		4.1% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit primarily due to higher net pricing for sparkling beverages offset by lower net pricing for water
	3.7		Increase in marketing funding received primarily from The Coca-Cola Company
	(3.4	)	2.5% decrease in bottle/can volume primarily due to a decrease in sales of sugar sparkling beverages partially offset by an increase in sales of water and tea products
	1.6		Decrease in manufacturing overhead costs

	1.0		5.3% increase in sales price per unit of postmix primarily due to higher sales prices for sparkling beverages
	3.3		Other

$	1.6		Total increase in gross margin


YTD 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	(20.0	)	Increase in raw material costs (primarily aluminum packaging, sweetener and concentrate costs)
	6.9		2.4% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit primarily due to higher net pricing for sparkling beverages offset by lower net pricing for water
	6.4		Increase in marketing funding received primarily from The Coca-Cola Company
	5.8		Decrease in manufacturing overhead costs
	2.1		Increase in delivery fees from certain customers
	2.0		5.5% increase in sales per unit of postmix primarily due to higher sales prices for sparkling beverages
	1.6		2.2% increase in sales price per unit of bottler sales primarily due to higher overall sales prices
	2.3		Other

$	7.1		Total increase in gross margin

The Company’s gross margin percentage without bottler sales, which have lower margins than the Company’s bottle/can sales to retail customers, was 47.7% in Q2 2007 compared to 48.2% in Q2 2006 and 48.5% in YTD 2007 compared to 48.6% in YTD 2006. The decreases in gross margin percentage were primarily due to higher raw material costs partially offset by higher bottle/can sales price per unit, increases in marketing funding from The Coca-Cola Company and reduced manufacturing overhead costs.

The Company’s gross margins may not be comparable to other companies, since some entities include all costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. The Company includes a portion of these costs in S,D&A expenses.

S,D&A Expenses

S,D&A expenses include the following: sales management labor costs, distribution costs from sales distribution centers to customer locations, sales distribution center warehouse costs, depreciation expense related to sales centers, delivery vehicles and cold drink equipment, point-of-sale expenses, advertising expenses, cold drink dispensing equipment repair costs and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting, internal audit, human resources and executive management costs.

S,D&A expenses decreased by $1.6 million, or 1.2%, to $136.7 million in Q2 2007 from $138.3 million in Q2 2006. S,D&A expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or .9%, to $267.5 million in YTD 2007 from $270.0 million in YTD 2006.

The decreases in S,D&A expenses were primarily due to the following:


Q2 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	(1.7	)	Decrease in employee benefit costs primarily due to the amendment of the principal Company-sponsored pension plan, net of increases in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan contributions
	1.8		Increase in employee related expenses primarily related to wage increases
	(1.6	)	Gain on sale of aviation equipment
	(0.9	)	Decrease in property and casualty claims and insurance costs
	0.9		Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment
	0.3		Restructuring costs related to the simplification of the Company’s operating management structure and reduction in work force in order to improve operating efficiencies
	(0.4	)	Other

$	(1.6	)	Total decrease in S,D&A expenses


YTD 2007			Attributable to:
(In Millions)
$	(3.1	)	Decrease in employee benefit costs primarily due to the amendment of the principal Company-sponsored pension plan, net of increases in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan contributions
	2.9		Increase in employee related expenses primarily related to wage increases
	2.4		Restructuring costs related to the simplification of the Company’s operating management structure and reduction in work force in order to improve operating efficiencies
	(1.8	)	Decrease in property and casualty claims and insurance costs
	(1.6	)	Gain on sale of aviation equipment
	1.1		Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment
	(1.0	)	Decrease in fuel and other energy costs related to the movement of finished goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations
	(1.4	)	Other

$	(2.5	)	Total decrease in S,D&A expenses

Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished goods from manufacturing locations to sales distribution centers are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs related to the movement of finished

goods from sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in S,D&A expenses and totaled $94.6 million and $97.7 million in YTD 2007 and YTD 2006, respectively.

On February 2, 2007, the Company initiated plans to simplify its operating management structure and reduce its workforce in order to improve operating efficiencies across the Company’s business. The restructuring expenses consist primarily of one-time termination benefits and other associated costs, primarily relocation expenses for certain employees. The Company incurred $.3 million and $2.4 million in restructuring expenses in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007, respectively. The Company anticipates that total restructuring expenses will be in the range of $2.5 million to $3.5 million and that all of the cash expenditures will occur prior to 2007 fiscal year end.

In February 2006, the Company announced an amendment to its principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. Net periodic pension expense decreased to less than $.1 million in Q2 2007 from $3.7 million in Q2 2006 and to $.1 million in YTD 2007 from $7.2 million in YTD 2006. The Company also announced in February 2006 plans to enhance its 401(k) Savings Plan for eligible employees beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The Company’s expense related to its 401(k) Savings Plan increased to $2.1 million in Q2 2007 from $1.3 million in Q2 2006 and $4.1 million in YTD 2007 from $2.4 million in YTD 2006.

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles expense for Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 was flat compared to Q2 2006 and YTD 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased 4.3%, or $.5 million, in Q2 2007 compared to Q2 2006 and decreased 2.2%, or $.6 million, in YTD 2007 compared to YTD 2006. The decrease in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on short term investments. The overall weighted average interest rate was 6.6% for both YTD 2007 and YTD 2006. Interest earned on short-term cash investments in Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 was $.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to $.1 million and $.3 million in Q2 2006 and YTD 2006, respectively. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Hedging Activities — Interest Rate Hedging” section of M,D&A for additional information.

Minority Interest

The Company recorded minority interest of $1.9 million in YTD 2007 compared to $1.7 million in YTD 2006 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The increased amount in YTD 2007 was due to improved operating results at Piedmont.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for YTD 2007 was 38.8% compared to 41.6% in YTD 2006. The lower effective tax rate in YTD 2007 resulted primarily from an increased manufacturing deduction benefit in 2007 compared to 2006. The manufacturing deduction was enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, which provides a tax deduction for qualified production activities. The allowed manufacturing deduction increased to 6% in 2007 from 3% in 2006. The Company’s income tax rate for the remainder of 2007 is dependent upon results of operations and may change if the results for 2007 are different from current expectations.

In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In May 2007, FASB issued FSP FIN 48-1. FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 were effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the implementation of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.

Net Income and Net Income per Share

The Company reported net income for Q2 2007 and YTD 2007 of $11.7 million and $16.3 million, or $1.28 and $1.79 basic net income per share for both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, compared with net income for Q2 2006 and YTD 2006 of $8.9 million and $9.7 million, or $.98 and $1.07 basic net income per share for both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The changes in net income and net income per share were the result of the net effect of changes in gross margin, S,D&A expenses, amortization of intangibles, interest expense, minority interest and income taxes as previously described.

Two-Class Method for Net Income Per Share

During 2006, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reviewed the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006. The review was completed by the SEC in November 2006. The Company considered this review and concluded the application of the two-class method for calculating and presenting net income per share was appropriate for its Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In determining the relevance of the two-class method, the Company considered dividend, voting and conversion rights of the Class B Common Stock. These aggregated participation rights along with the Company’s history of paying dividends equally on a per share basis on Common Stock and Class B Common Stock also led the Company to conclude undistributed earnings (net income less dividends) should be allocated equally on a per share basis between Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. This change had no impact on the income per share amounts previously reported. The Company has applied the two-class method prospectively starting with the third quarter of 2006. See Note 21 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the application of the two-class method.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased to $1.4 billion at July 1, 2007 from $1.36 billion at December 31, 2006 primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease in property, plant and equipment, net. The decrease in property, plant and equipment, net was primarily due to lower levels of capital spending over the last several years.

Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, increased by $36.3 million at July 1, 2007 from December 31, 2006 and decreased by $52.2 million at July 1, 2007 from July 2, 2006.

Significant changes in net working capital from December 31, 2006 were as follows:

•

An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $9.3 million primarily due to cash flows from operating activities.

•

An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $18.7 million primarily due to higher sales in June 2007 compared to December 2006.

•

An increase in accounts receivable from The Coca-Cola Company of $17.7 million primarily due to higher marketing funding support and the timing of payments.

•

An increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $14.2 million primarily due to the timing of payments.

•

A decrease in accrued compensation of $4.1 million due to the payment of bonuses in March 2007.

•

An increase in other accrued liabilities of $6.8 million primarily due to an increase in income taxes payable and the timing of payments.

Significant changes in net working capital from July 2, 2006 were as follows:

•

An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $40.2 million primarily due to cash flows from operating activities.

•

An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $3.2 million primarily due to higher sales in June 2007 compared to June 2006.

•

An increase in accounts receivable from The Coca-Cola Company of $12.0 million primarily due to higher marketing funding support and the timing of payments.

•

An increase in the current portion of debt of $100 million primarily due to the reclassification from long-term to current of $100 million in debentures which matures in November 2007.

•

An increase in other accrued liabilities of $5.9 million primarily due to an increase in income taxes payable.

Debt and capital lease obligations were $772.9 million as of July 1, 2007 compared to $769.0 million as of December 31, 2006 and $769.8 million as of July 2, 2006. Debt and capital lease obligations as of July 1, 2007 included $81.5 million of capital lease obligations related primarily to Company facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

The Company’s sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management believes the Company, through these sources, has sufficient financial resources available to maintain its current operations and provide for its current capital expenditure and working capital requirements, scheduled debt payments, interest and income tax payments and dividends for stockholders. The amount and frequency of future dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of the earnings and financial condition of the Company at such time, and no assurance can be given that dividends will be declared in the future.

As of July 1, 2007, the Company had $200 million available under its revolving credit facility to meet its cash requirements. Also, the Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These lines of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at July 1, 2007, are made available at the discretion of two participating banks at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks.

The Company anticipates using its cash on hand and availability under its revolving credit facility to satisfy the $100 million maturity of debentures in November 2007.

The Company has obtained all of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from public markets. As of July 1, 2007, $691.5 million of the Company’s total outstanding balance of debt and capital lease obligations of $772.9 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $81.5 million as of July 1, 2007. The Company’s interest rate derivative contracts are with several different financial institutions to minimize the concentration of credit risk. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.

Cash Sources and Uses

The primary sources of cash for the Company have been cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, the payment of debt and capital lease obligations, income tax payments and dividends.

A summary of cash activity for YTD 2007 and YTD 2006 follows:


	First Half
In Millions	2007		2006

Other		.4		.2

Total cash uses	$	34.8	$	50.9

Increase (decrease) in cash	$	9.3	$	(8.6	)

Based on current projections which include a number of assumptions such as the Company’s pre-tax earnings, the Company anticipates its cash requirements for income taxes will be in the range of $15 million to $20 million in 2007 as compared to $17.2 million in 2006. Income tax payments in YTD 2006 included $5.0 million related to the settlement of a state tax audit, which was paid in the first quarter of 2006.

Investing Activities

Additions to property, plant and equipment during YTD 2007 were $19.0 million compared to $29.8 million during YTD 2006. Capital expenditures during YTD 2007 were funded with cash flows from operations and cash on hand. Leasing is used for certain capital additions when considered cost effective relative to other sources of capital. The Company currently leases its corporate headquarters, two production facilities and several sales distribution facilities and administrative facilities.

The Company anticipates additions to property, plant and equipment in 2007 will be in the range of $45 million to $52 million and plans to fund such additions through cash flows from operations, its available lines of credit and cash on hand. Additions to property, plant and equipment during 2006 were $63.2 million.

Financing Activities

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility (“$200 million facility”), replacing its $100 million facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012 and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The $200 million facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%. In addition, there is a fee of .10% required for the facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants related to ratio requirements for interest coverage, and long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit agreement. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. There were no amounts outstanding under the credit facilities at July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006.

The Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These lines of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at July 1, 2007, are made available at the discretion of the two participating banks at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks. The Company can utilize its revolving credit facility in the event the lines of credit are not available. There were no amounts outstanding under the lines of credit at July 1, 2007, December 31, 2006 and July 2, 2006.

All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of the Company’s subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Company’s debt.

At July 1, 2007, the Company’s credit ratings were as follows:


		Long-Term Debt
Standard & Poor’s		BBB
Moody’s		Baa2

The Company’s credit ratings are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes in the Company’s operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs for the Company. There were no changes in these credit ratings from the prior year. It is the Company’s intent to continue to reduce its financial leverage over time.

The Company’s public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries in excess of certain amounts.

The Company issued 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, with respect to 2006 performance, effective January 1, 2007, under a restricted stock award plan that provides for annual awards of such shares subject to the Company achieving at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan.

The Company’s only share based compensation is the restricted stock award to Mr. Harrison, III. The award provides the shares of restricted stock vest at the rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The vesting of each annual installment is contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan. Each annual 20,000 share tranche has an independent

performance requirement as it is not established until the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved for each year. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service period. The Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance requirement for 2007, were set in Q1 2007 and the Company recorded the 20,000 share award at the grant-date price of $58.53 per share. Total stock compensation expense will be approximately $1.2 million over the one-year service period of which $.6 million was recognized in YTD 2007. In addition, the Company reimburses Mr. Harrison, III for income taxes to be paid on the shares if the performance requirement is met and the shares are issued. The Company accrues the estimated cost of the income tax reimbursement over the one-year service period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives, which are variable interest entities. The Company has guaranteed $47.3 million of debt and related lease obligations for these cooperatives as of July 1, 2007. The Company’s variable interest in these cooperatives includes an equity ownership in each of the entities and the guarantees. As of July 1, 2007, the Company’s maximum exposure, if the cooperatives borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $66.2 million including the Company’s equity interest. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of either of the cooperatives. See Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about these cooperatives.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations

(1)		Includes interest payments based on contractual terms and current interest rates for variable rate debt.

(2)		Represents an estimate of the Company’s obligation to purchase 17.5 million cases of finished product on an annual basis through May 2014 from South Atlantic Canners, a manufacturing cooperative, and other purchase commitments.

(3)		Includes obligations under executive benefit plans, unrecognized income tax benefits and other long-term liabilities.

(4)		Includes contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletics venues and other locations, and other long-term marketing commitments.


(5)		Purchase orders include commitments in which a written purchase order has been issued to a vendor, but the goods have not been received or the services have not been performed.

The Company has $13.1 million of unrecognized income tax benefits as of July 1, 2007 (included in other long-term liabilities in the above table) pursuant to FIN 48, of which $7.9 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not anticipate any material impact on its liquidity and capital resources due to the resolution of income tax positions reserved for as uncertain. See Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Company’s adoption of FIN 48.

The Company is a member of Southeastern Container, a plastic bottle manufacturing cooperative, from which the Company is obligated to purchase at least 80% of its requirements of plastic bottles for certain designated territories. This obligation is not included in the Company’s table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase requirements.

The Company has $21.3 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs, as of July 1, 2007. See Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax matters.

The Company anticipates there will be no contributions to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan in 2007. Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be approximately $2.7 million in 2007. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to pension and postretirement obligations.

Hedging Activities

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company currently has nine interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert $325 million of the Company’s debt from a fixed rate to a floating rate and are accounted for as fair value hedges.

Interest expense was reduced due to the amortization of deferred gains on previously terminated interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements by $.8 million during both YTD 2007 and YTD 2006.

The weighted average interest rate of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations after taking into account all of the interest rate hedging activities was 6.7% as of July 1, 2007 compared to 6.9% as of December 31, 2006 and 6.7% as of July 2, 2006. Approximately 48% of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $772.9 million as of July 1, 2007 was maintained on a floating rate basis and was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

Assuming no changes in the Company’s capital structure, if market interest rates average 1% more over the next twelve months than the interest rates as of July 1, 2007, interest expense for the next twelve months would increase by approximately $3.7 million. This amount is determined by calculating the effect of a hypothetical interest rate increase of 1% on outstanding floating rate debt and capital lease obligations as of July 1, 2007, including the effects of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. This calculated, hypothetical increase in interest expense for the following twelve months may be different from the actual increase in interest expense from a 1% increase in interest rates due to varying interest rate reset dates on the Company’s floating rate debt and derivative financial instruments.

Fuel Hedging

During Q1 2007, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge a portion of the Company’s vehicle fuel purchases. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline used in the Company’s delivery fleet. Derivative instruments used include puts and calls which effectively establish an upper and lower limit on the Company’s price of fuel within periods covered by the instruments. The Company pays a fee for these instruments which is amortized over the corresponding period of the instrument. The Company currently accounts for its fuel hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected as an adjustment of fuel costs.

	•		the Company’s belief there will not be any material impact on its liquidity and capital resources due to the resolution of income tax positions reserved for as uncertain;

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk

Beginning in 2007, the majority of the Company’s aluminum packaging requirements did not have any ceiling price protection. The Company anticipates the cost of aluminum cans will increase from 17% to 20% during 2007. High fructose corn syrup costs are also expected to increase significantly during 2007 as a result of increasing demand for corn products around the world such as for ethanol production. The Company anticipates the cost of high fructose corn syrup will increase from 25% to 35% during 2007. The combined impact of increasing costs for aluminum cans and high fructose corn syrup is anticipated to continue increasing cost of sales during 2007. In addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can charge for concentrate.

The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain other commodities included as part of its raw materials. The Company manages this commodity price risk in some cases by entering into contracts with adjustable prices. The Company has not historically used derivative commodity instruments in the management of this risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of providing reasonable assurance the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
