Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 30, 2007 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current classifications.
2. Seasonality of Business
Historically, operating results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year have
not been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results
primarily from higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters
versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation
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 soft drink 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 June 29, 2008, December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007 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 (the $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, the Company must pay an
annual facility fee of .10% of the lenders aggregate commitments under the facility. Both the
interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on
the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two
financial covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as
defined in the credit agreement. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. On
June 29, 2008, the Company had $30.0 million outstanding under the $200 million facility.
On December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007, the Company had no amounts
outstanding under the $200 million facility.
The Company borrows periodically under an uncommitted line of credit. This uncommitted line of
credit, totaling $35 million at June 29, 2008, is made available at the discretion of a
participating bank and may be withdrawn at any time by such bank. The Company uses the $200
million facility to provide appropriate liquidity when the uncommitted line of credit is
unavailable. On June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under the uncommitted lines of credit. On
December 30, 2007, $7.4 million was outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.
After taking into account all of its interest rate hedging activities, the Company had a weighted
average interest rate of 5.4%, 6.2% and 6.7% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of June
29, 2008, December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007, respectively. The Companys overall weighted average
interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 5.8% for YTD 2008 compared to 6.6% for
YTD 2007. As of June 29, 2008, approximately 43% of the Companys debt and capital lease
obligations of $700.4 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
The Companys 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 Companys
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 Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt.
11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify 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 Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys 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 Companys interest rate swap agreements are LIBOR-based.

The Company had six interest rate swap agreements as of June 29, 2008 with varying terms that
effectively converted $225 million of the Companys 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 the
majority of its vehicle fuel purchases. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and
unleaded gasoline used in the Companys operations. Derivative instruments used include puts,
calls and caps which effectively establish an upper and lower limit on the Companys 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
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 Companys public debt securities are based on estimated market prices.
Non-Public Variable Rate Debt
The carrying amounts of the Companys variable rate borrowings approximate their fair values.
Deferred Compensation Plan Assets
The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets, which are held in mutual funds, are based
upon the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values for the Companys interest rate swap and fuel hedging agreements are based on
current settlement values.
Letters of Credit
The fair values of the Companys letters of credit, obtained from financial institutions, are
based on the notional amounts of the instruments. These letters of credit primarily relate to
the Companys property and casualty insurance programs.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Companys debt, deferred compensation plan assets,
derivative financial instruments and letters of credit were as follows:

12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements at June 29, 2008 and December 30, 2007
represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received upon termination of these
agreements, which are the current settlement values. The fair value on July 1, 2007 represents
the estimated amount the Company would have paid upon the termination of these agreements. The
fair value of the fuel hedging agreements at June 29, 2008, December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007
represents the estimated amount the Company would have received upon termination of these
agreements.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement
(SFAS No. 157) as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2008 (Q1 2008), and there was no
material impact to the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 157 currently applies to all
financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157, which defers the application date of the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first quarter of 2009 except for items that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. SFAS No.
157 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is intended to enable the readers
of financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a
hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair
values. SFAS No. 157 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and
disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
The following table summarizes the valuation of derivative instruments and deferred compensation
plan assets and liabilities by the above categories as of June 29, 2008:

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other
highly compensated employees. The investment assets are held in mutual funds available under the
Companys 401(k) Savings Plan. The fair value of the mutual funds is based on the quoted market
value of the securities
15
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
held within the funds (Level 1). The related deferred compensation liability represents the fair
value of the investment assets. The Companys interest rate swap agreements are fair value hedges,
meaning the Company receives fixed rates and pays variable rates based on LIBOR swap rates. LIBOR
swap rates are observable and quoted periodically over the full term of the agreements and are
considered Level 2 items.
The Companys fuel hedging agreements are based on NYMEX and Weekly US DOE Daily Average rates that
are observable and quoted periodically over the full term of the agreement and are considered Level
2 items.

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 SACs and Southeasterns debt and lease obligations. The
amounts guaranteed were $43.2 million, $45.4 million and $47.3 million as of June 29, 2008,
December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability
associated with these guarantees. The Company holds no assets as
collateral against these guarantees. 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. 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 from the Companys guarantees.
16
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
14. Commitments and Contingencies
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
Companys maximum exposure under these guarantees on June 29, 2008 would have been $50.4 million
and the Companys maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $29.2
million for SAC and $36.3 million for Southeastern.
The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles and finished products from these cooperatives for
more than ten years.
The Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities in addition to the guarantees of
certain indebtedness. As of June 29, 2008, SAC had total assets of approximately $43 million and
total debt of approximately $22 million. SAC had total revenues for YTD 2008 of approximately $99
million. As of June 29, 2008, Southeastern had total assets of approximately $397 million and
total debt of approximately $257 million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2008 of
approximately $291 million.
The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty
insurance programs. On June 29, 2008, these letters of credit totaled $19.5 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 June 29, 2008 amounted to $27.3 million and expire at various dates through
2017.
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 is subject to audit by tax authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business.
These audits may result in assessments that are subsequently resolved with the tax authorities or
potentially through the courts. Management believes the Company has adequately provided for any
assessments 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.

respectively.

In June 2006, 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 on 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. As of December 30,
2007, the Company had $9.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest, of
which $8.0 million would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. As of June 29,
2008, the Company had $9.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest, of
which $8.4 million would affect the Companys 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. As of December 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $2.0 million of accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of June 29, 2008, the Company had approximately
$2.2 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense in YTD
2008 and YTD 2007 included approximately $.2 million and $.3 million of interest, respectively.

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 Select Marketsm 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.

17. Capital Transactions
Pursuant to the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation, no cash dividend or dividend of
property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically described in the Restated
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 the Common Stock. During YTD 2008 and YTD 2007,
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 Companys 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 Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer,
consisting of 200,000 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock. Under the award program, the
shares of restricted stock are granted at a rate of 20,000 shares per year over the 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 Companys 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 28, 2007, 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 December
31, 2006. On February 27, 2008, 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 30, 2007.
The Companys only active 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 Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved
each year by the Compensation Committee of the Companys 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 Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the
performance requirement for the restricted stock awards, are approved by the Compensation Committee
in the first quarter of each year.

The Company currently estimates it will not achieve at least 80% of the overall goal achievement
factor in the Companys 2008 Annual Bonus Plan required for the restricted stock award to vest.
Accordingly, the estimated expense recorded in Q1 2008 was
reversed in the second quarter of 2008 (Q2 2008) based upon the Companys estimate. 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, if necessary, over
the one-year service period.
On April 29, 2008, the stockholders approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for Mr. Harrison,
III consisting of 400,000 performance units (Units). Each Unit represents the right to receive
one share of the Companys Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The
Units will vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The
Units vested each year will equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement
factor (not to exceed 100%) as determined under the Companys existing Annual Bonus Plan based
upon annual targets defined by the Compensation Committee. The Performance Unit Award Agreement
will replace the restricted stock award discussed above which expires at the end of 2008 and will
not affect the Companys results of operations or financial position during 2008.
The increase in the number of shares outstanding in YTD 2008 was due to the issuance of 20,000
shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award. The increase in the number
of shares 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.

Recently Adopted Pronouncement
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 158), which was effective
for the year ending December 31, 2006 except for the requirement that the benefit plan assets and
obligations be measured as of the date of the employers statement of financial position, which is
effective for the year ending December 28, 2008. The Company adopted the measurement date
provisions of SFAS No. 158 on the first day of Q1 2008 and used the one measurement approach.
The incremental effect of applying the measurement date provisions on the balance sheet in Q1 2008
was as follows:

Pension Plans
Retirement benefits under the two Company-sponsored pension plans are based on the employees
length of service, average compensation over the five consecutive years which gives the highest
average compensation and average Social Security taxable wage base during the 35-year period
before reaching 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.

19. Related Party Transactions
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement with The Coca-Cola Company regarding
brand innovation and distribution collaboration. Under the letter agreement, the Company granted
to The Coca-Cola Company the option to purchase any nonalcoholic beverage brands then or thereafter
owned by the Company. The option is exercisable as to each brand at a formula-based price during
the two-year period that begins after that brand has achieved a specified level of net operating
revenue or, if earlier, beginning five years after the introduction of that brand in the market
with a minimum level of net operating revenue (except that, with respect to brands owned at the
date of the letter agreement, the five-year period does not begin earlier than the date of the
letter agreement).
The Company has a production arrangement with Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) to buy and sell
finished products at cost. Sales to CCE under this arrangement were $20.2 million and $23.1
million in YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, respectively. Purchases from CCE under this arrangement were
$10.7 million and $6.6 million in YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, respectively. The Coca-Cola Company has
significant equity interests in the Company and CCE. As of June 29, 2008, CCE held less than 9% of
the Companys outstanding Common Stock and held no shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock.
Along with all other Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States, the Company is a member in Coca-Cola
Bottlers Sales and Services Company, LLC (CCBSS), which was formed in 2003 for the
purposes of facilitating various procurement functions and distributing certain specified beverage
products of The Coca-Cola Company with the intention of enhancing the efficiency and
competitiveness of the Coca-Cola bottling system in the United States. CCBSS negotiates the
procurement for the majority of the Companys raw materials (excluding concentrate). The Company
pays an administrative fee to CCBSS for its services.

compared to the amount previously recorded by the Company. The
Company classifies its equity in earnings of Southeastern in cost of
sales consistent with the classification of purchases from
Southeastern.

22. Risks and Uncertainties
Approximately 89% of the Companys YTD 2008 bottle/can volume to retail customers were 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 Companys YTD 2008 bottle/can volume to
retail customers were 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 Companys products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and
other outlets. During YTD 2008, approximately 68% of the Companys 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 Companys largest customers, Wal-Mart
Stores, Inc. and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 20% and 11% of the Companys total
bottle/can volume to retail customers during YTD 2008, respectively. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
accounted for approximately 14% of the Companys total net sales during YTD 2008.
The Company obtains all of its aluminum cans from one domestic supplier. The Company currently
obtains all of its plastic bottles from two domestic entities. See Note 19 of the consolidated
financial statements for additional information.
The Company is exposed to price risk on such commodities as aluminum, corn and resin which affects
the cost of raw materials used in the production of finished products. The Company both produces
and procures these finished products. Examples of the raw materials affected are aluminum used for
can packaging, high fructose corn syrup used as an ingredient and plastic bottles used for
packaging. Further, the Company is exposed to commodity price risk on oil which impacts the
Companys cost of fuel used in the movement and delivery of the
Companys products. The Company participates in commodity
hedging and risk mitigation programs administered both by CCBSS and by the Company itself.
Beginning in 2007, the majority of the Companys aluminum packaging requirements did not have any
ceiling price protection. The cost of aluminum cans further increased during YTD 2008. High
fructose corn syrup costs also increased significantly during YTD 2008 as a result of increasing
demand for corn products around the world such as for ethanol production. The combined impact of
increasing costs for aluminum cans and high fructose corn syrup increased cost of sales during YTD
2008. In addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage
companies can charge for concentrate.
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 Companys pension
liability.
Approximately 7% of the Companys labor force was covered by collective bargaining agreements as of
June 29, 2008. One collective bargaining contract covering approximately 4% of the Companys
employees expired on July 12, 2008 and the Company has since
reached a tentative agreement on a new contract.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158 which was effective for the year ending December 31,
2006 except for the requirement that benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the date
of the employers statement of financial position, which was effective for the year ending December
28, 2008. The impact of the adoption of the change in measurement dates was not material to the
consolidated financial statements. See Note 16 and Note 18 of the consolidated financial
statements for additional information.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 which 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
was effective at the beginning of Q1 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and for
nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.
See Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information. In February
2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
157, which defers the application date of the provisions of SFAS No.

24. New Accounting Pronouncements
157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first quarter of 2009 except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.
The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact related to the Companys
nonfinancial assets and liabilities not valued on a recurring basis.
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 was effective at the beginning
of Q1 2008. The Company has not applied the fair value option to any of its outstanding
instruments; therefore, the Statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
(commonly referred to as minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company
anticipates that the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements, although changes in financial statement presentation may be required.
In December 2007, FASB revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This
Statement established principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets
and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at
their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 141(R)
will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective
date.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of why an entity
uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
and how they affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The adoption of
this Statement will not impact the consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote
disclosures related to derivative instruments and related hedged items.
In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in developing
renewal or extension
32
Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
24. New Accounting Pronouncements
assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the
useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure its fair
value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is
in the process of evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3, but does not expect it to have a material
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial
statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This Statement is effective 60 days following the
Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the Statement to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
25. Subsequent Events
On July 13, 2008, the Company received notice that one collective bargaining unit voted to begin a
work stoppage effective immediately. The previous collective bargaining agreement expired on July
12, 2008. The collective bargaining unit represents approximately 270 employees, or approximately
4%, of the Companys total workforce. The Company has reached a tentative agreement with
the collective bargaining unit and the employees have returned to
work. The agreement allows the Company to fix its liability to the
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund,
a multi-employer pension fund, while preserving the pension benefits
previously earned by the employees. As a result, the Company
anticipates recording a charge of approximately $13 million to
$15 million in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, the
Company will make future contributions on behalf of these employees
to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan, a multi-employer
defined contribution plan.
On July 15, 2008, the Company initiated plans to reorganize the structure in its operating units
and support services, which will result in the elimination of approximately 350 positions, or
approximately 5%, of its workforce. Affected employees are being offered severance packages and
outplacement services. As a result of these plans, the Company estimates incurring total pre-tax
charges of $4.0 million to $5.0 million, all for one-time termination benefits. The Company
anticipates the plan will be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2008 and that the
majority of cash expenditures will be incurred in the third quarter of 2008.

Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. |
The consolidated statements of operations for the quarters ended June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007 and
YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, the consolidated statement of cash flows for YTD 2008 and YTD 2007 and the
consolidated balance sheets at June 29, 2008, December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007 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 Companys
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 2007.
The nonalcoholic beverage market is highly competitive. The Companys competitors include bottlers
and distributors of nationally and regionally advertised and marketed products and private label
products. In each
34
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 several years, industry sales of sugar
sparkling beverages, other than energy products, have declined. The decline in sugar sparkling
beverages has generally been offset by volume growth in other nonalcoholic product categories. The
sparkling beverage category (including energy products) represents 81% of the Companys YTD 2008
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.
Historically, operating results for the second quarter and first half of the fiscal year have not
been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily
from higher unit sales of the Companys products in the second and third quarters versus the first
and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation 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, product innovation and beverage
portfolio expansion, 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 Companys results of
operations.
35
Product Innovation and Beverage Portfolio Expansion
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
Companys overall revenue. The Company introduced the following new products during 2007:
smartwater, vitaminwater, vitaminenergy, Gold Peak and Country Breeze tea products, Diet Coke Plus,
Dasani Plus, juice products from FUZE (a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company) and V8 juice products
from Campbells. The Company also modified its energy product portfolio in 2007 with the addition
of NOS© products from FUZE.
In August 2007, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Energy Brands Inc. (Energy
Brands), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company. Energy Brands, also known as
glacéau, is a producer and distributor of branded enhanced beverages including vitaminwater,
smartwater and vitaminenergy. The distribution agreement was effective November 1, 2007 for a
period of ten years and, unless earlier terminated, will be automatically renewed for succeeding
ten-year terms, subject to a one year non-renewal notification by the Company. In conjunction with
the execution of the distribution agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with The
Coca-Cola Company whereby the Company agreed not to introduce new third party brands or certain
third party brand extensions in the United States through August 31, 2010 unless mutually agreed to
by the Company and The Coca-Cola Company.
The Company has invested in its own brand portfolio with products such as Respect, a vitamin and
mineral enhanced beverage, Tum-E Yummies, a vitamin C enhanced flavored drink, Country Breeze and
diet Country Breeze tea and its own energy drink. The Company is also 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 may include
the Companys traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory as well as third party distributors outside
the Companys traditional Coca-Cola franchise territory. While the growth prospects of
Company-owned or exclusive licensed brands appear promising, the cost of developing, marketing and
distributing these brands is anticipated to be significant.
On March 10, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement with The Coca-Cola Company regarding
brand innovation and distribution collaboration. Under the letter agreement, the Company granted
to The Coca-Cola Company the option to purchase any nonalcoholic beverage brands then or thereafter
owned by the Company. The option is exercisable as to each brand at a formula-based price during
the two-year period that begins after that brand has achieved a specified level of net operating
revenue or, if earlier, beginning five years after the introduction of that brand in the market
with a minimum level of net operating revenue (except that, with respect to brands owned at the
date of the letter agreement, the five-year period does not begin earlier than the date of the
letter agreement).
Distribution Cost Management
Distribution costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to
customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $102.0 million and $94.6 million in YTD 2008
and YTD 2007, 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
products. In addition, the Company has closed a number of smaller sales distribution centers over
the past several years reducing its fixed warehouse-related costs.
36
The Company has three primary delivery systems for its current business:
|
|
|
bulk delivery for large supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores; |
|
|
|
|
advanced sales delivery for convenience stores, drug stores, small supermarkets and
certain on-premise accounts; and |
|
|
|
|
full service delivery for its full service vending customers. |
Distribution cost management will continue to be a key area of emphasis for the Company.
Productivity
A key driver in the Companys selling, delivery and administrative (S,D&A) expense management
relates to ongoing improvements in labor productivity and asset productivity. The Company
initiated plans to reorganize the structure in its operating units and support services in July
2008. The reorganization resulted in the elimination of approximately 350 positions, or
approximately 5%, of the Companys workforce. The Company is implementing these changes in order
to improve its efficiency and to help offset significant increases in the cost of raw materials and
operating expenses. The Company anticipates annual savings of $25
million to $30 million from this
reorganization plan. The Company anticipates the plan will be completed by the end of the third
quarter of 2008. The Company continues to focus on its supply chain and distribution functions for
ongoing opportunities to improve productivity.

The Companys net sales grew 1.4% and .8% in Q2 2008 and YTD 2008 from the same periods in 2007.
The net sales increase in Q2 2008 was primarily due to a 2.2% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit and
a 1.1% increase in bottle/can volume offset by a 10.2%, or $4.0 million, decrease in sales to other
Coca-Cola bottlers (bottler sales). The net sales increase in YTD 2008 was primarily due to a
1.3% increase in bottle/can sales price per unit and a 1.7% increase in bottle/can volume offset by a 14.7%,
or $10.8 million, decrease in bottler sales. The increases in bottle/can sales price per unit were primarily
due to increased sales of enhanced water which has a higher per unit sales price. The increases in
bottle/can volume were primarily due to increases in enhanced water volume partially offset by
decreases in bottled water volume. The decreases in bottler sales were primarily the result of
decreased volume in energy and tea products.
The Company anticipates overall bottle/can sales growth will be primarily dependent upon continued
growth in diet sparkling products, sports drinks, bottled water, enhanced water, tea and energy
products as well as the introduction of new beverage products and the appropriate pricing of brands
and packages within sales channels.
Gross margin dollars increased 1.5% in Q2 2008 compared to Q2 2007 and decreased 2.8% in YTD 2008
compared to YTD 2007. The Companys gross margin percentage was 43.4% for both Q2 2008 and Q2 2007
while the gross margin percentage decreased from 44.1% for YTD 2007 to 42.5% for YTD 2008. The
flat gross margin as a percentage of sales in Q2 2008 compared to Q2 2007 was primarily due to
increased marketing funding and an increase in the Companys equity investment in Southeastern
Container offset by an increase in raw material costs, an increase in sales of purchased products
(which have lower margin percentages) and a shift in product mix to lower margin items. The
decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in YTD 2008 compared to YTD 2007 was
primarily due to increased raw material costs, increased sales of purchased products (which have
lower margin percentages), a shift in product and package mix to lower margin items and lower sales
price per unit for bottled water. Purchased products include FUZE, Campbells products,
smartwater, vitaminwater and NOS© energy products.
S,D&A expenses decreased .8% in Q2 2008 from Q2 2007 and increased 1.6% in YTD 2008 from YTD 2007.
The decrease in S,D&A expenses in Q2 2008 was primarily attributable to decreases in employee
related expenses of $2.3 million (excluding restructuring costs in 2007) partially offset by
increases in fuel costs of $1.5 million. The increase in S,D&A expense in YTD 2008 was primarily attributable to increases in
employee
38
related
expenses of $0.9 million (excluding restructuring costs in YTD 2007), fuel cost of
$3.4 million and property and casualty insurance costs of $.9 million.
Net interest expense decreased 19.1% and 16.8% in Q2 2008 and YTD 2008 compared to Q2 2007 and YTD
2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower effective interest rates and lower
borrowing levels offset by a $.7 million and $1.4 million decrease in interest earned on short-term
cash investments in Q2 2008 and YTD 2008 as compared to Q2 2007 and YTD 2007, respectively. The
Companys overall weighted average interest rate decreased to 5.8% during YTD 2008 from 6.6% during
YTD 2007.

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
39
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30,
2007 a discussion of the Companys most critical accounting policies, which are those most
important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results of operations and
require managements 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 2008. 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 (SFAS) No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans, which was effective for the year ending December 31, 2006 except for the
requirement that benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the date of the employers
statement of financial position, which was effective for the year ending December 28, 2008. The
impact of the adoption of the change in measurement dates was not material to the consolidated
financial statements. See Note 16 and Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
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 was effective at the beginning of Q1 2008 for all
financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or
disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements
for additional information. In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the application date of the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first quarter of 2009 except
for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the
consolidated financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact related
to the Companys nonfinancial assets and liabilities not valued on a recurring basis.
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 was effective at the beginning
of Q1 2008. The Company has not applied the fair value option to any of its outstanding
instruments; therefore, the Statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
40
Recently Issued Pronouncements
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. This Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary
(commonly referred to as minority interest) and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company
anticipates that the adoption of this Statement will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements, although changes in financial statement presentation may be required.
In December 2007, FASB revised SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)). This
Statement established principles and requirements for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets
and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in an acquisition, at
their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact on the Company of adopting SFAS No. 141(R)
will depend on the nature, terms and size of business combinations completed after the effective
date.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of why an entity
uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
and how they affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The
Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The adoption of
this Statement will not impact the consolidated financial statements other than expanded footnote
disclosures related to derivative instruments and related hedged items.
In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors to be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows
used to measure its fair value. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3, but does not expect
it to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement identifies the sources
of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be
used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This Statement
is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,
The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the Statement to
have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In YTD 2008, the Companys bottle/can sales to retail customers accounted for 85% of the Companys
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.
The increase in the Companys bottle/can net pricing per unit in Q2 2008 compared to Q2 2007 and
YTD 2008 compared to YTD 2007 was primarily due to increases in sales of enhanced water which has a
higher sales price per unit partially offset by sales of lower price packages (primarily in the
convenience store channel) and a lower sales price per unit for bottled water.

The Companys 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 2008, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can volume
was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can volume of approximately 32% was sold for
immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for
approximately 20% of the Companys total bottle/can volume during YTD 2008. The Companys second
largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 11% of the Companys total bottle/can
volume in YTD 2008. All of the Companys beverage sales are to customers in the United States.
The Company charges certain customers a delivery fee to offset a portion of the Companys delivery
and handling costs. The delivery fee is recorded in net sales and was $3.2 million and $3.4
million in YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, 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 1.3%, or $3.0 million, to $224.1 million in Q2 2008 compared to $221.2
million in Q2 2007. Cost of sales increased $14.7 million, or 3.6%, to $421.9 million in YTD
2008 compared to $407.2 million in YTD 2007. The increase in cost of sales was principally

The
Company recorded an adjustment to its equity investment in
a plastic bottle cooperative in Q2 2008 which resulted in a nonrecurring pre-tax
credit of $2.6 million. This adjustment was made based on
information received from the cooperative during the quarter and
reflected a higher share of the cooperatives retained earnings
compared to the amount previously recorded by the Company. The
Company classifies its equity in earnings of the cooperative in cost of
sales consistent with the classification of purchases from
the cooperative.
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 Companys
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 $31.5
million for YTD 2008 compared to $23.6 million for YTD 2007 and was recorded as a reduction in cost
of sales.

Gross Margin
Gross margin dollars increased $2.6 million, or 1.5%, to $171.9 million in Q2 2008 from $169.3
million in Q2 2007. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 43.4% in both Q2 2008 and Q2
2007. Gross margin dollars decreased $9.0 million, or 2.8% to $311.8 million in YTD 2008 compared to
$320.8 million in YTD 2007. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 42.5% in YTD

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales in Q2 2008 was flat compared to Q2 2007 primarily due to
increased marketing funding and an increase in the Companys equity investment in a plastic bottle cooperative
offset by increased raw material costs and increased sales of purchased products (which have lower
margin percentages). The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales in YTD 2008
compared to YTD 2007 was primarily due to increased raw material costs and increased sales of
purchased products, higher percentage of sales of lower margin packages and lower sales price per
unit for bottled water, partially offset by increased marketing funding and the increase in the
equity investment in a plastic bottle cooperative.
The Companys 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.
45
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 equipment repair costs and administrative
support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting,
internal control services, human resources and executive management costs, and amortization of
intangibles.
S,D&A expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or .8%, to $135.7 million in Q2 2008 from $136.8 million
in Q2 2007. S,D&A expenses increased by $4.2 million, or 1.6%, to $271.9 in YTD 2008 from $267.7
million in YTD 2007.
The increase (decrease) in S,D&A expenses was primarily due to the following:

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 $102.0 million and $94.6 million in YTD 2008 and YTD 2007,
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 Companys business. The
restructuring expenses consisted primarily of one-time termination benefits and other associated
costs, primarily relocation expense for certain employees. The Company incurred $2.4 million in restructuring expenses in YTD 2007.
Interest Expense
Net interest expense decreased 19.1%, or $2.3 million, in Q2 2008 compared to Q2 2007 and decreased
16.8%, or $4.1 million, in YTD 2008 compared to YTD 2007. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to lower effective interest rates and lower levels of borrowing offset by a $.7
million and $1.4 million decrease in interest earned on short-term cash investments in Q2 2008 and
YTD 2008 as compared to Q2 2007 and YTD 2007, respectively. The Companys overall weighted average
interest rate decreased to 5.8% during YTD 2008 from 6.6% during YTD 2007. See the Liquidity and
Capital Resources Hedging Activities Interest Rate Hedging section of M,D&A for additional
information.
47
Minority Interest
The Company recorded minority interest of $1.0 million in YTD 2008 compared to $1.9 million in YTD
2007 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The decreased amount in
YTD 2008 was due to lower operating results at Piedmont.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective income tax rate for YTD 2008 was 41.4% compared to 38.8% for YTD 2007. The
higher effective tax rate for YTD 2008 resulted primarily from an increase in the Companys reserve
for uncertain tax positions. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information. The Companys income tax rate for the remainder of 2008 is dependent upon results of
operations and may change if the results for 2008 are different from current expectations.
The adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN
48), an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes and FASB Staff
Position FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1) effective January 1,
2007, 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.
The Companys income tax assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment in future periods based
on the Companys ongoing evaluations of such assets and liabilities and new information that
becomes available to the Company.
Subsequent Events
On July 13, 2008, the Company received
notice that one collective bargaining unit voted to begin a work stoppage effective immediately.
The previous collective bargaining agreement expired on July 12, 2008. The collective bargaining
unit represents approximately 270 employees, or approximately
4%, of the Companys total workforce. The Company has reached a tentative agreement with
the collective bargaining unit and the employees have returned to
work. The agreement allows the Company to fix its liability to the
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund,
a multi-employer pension fund, while preserving the pension benefits
previously earned by the employees. As a result, the Company
anticipates recording a charge of approximately $13 million to
$15 million in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, the
Company will make future contributions on behalf of these employees
to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan, a multi-employer
defined contribution plan.
On July 15, 2008, the Company
initiated plans to reorganize the structure in its operating units and support services, which will result in the elimination of approximately 350 positions, or approximately 5%,
of its workforce. Affected employees are being offered severance packages and outplacement
services. As a result of these plans, the Company estimates incurring total pre-tax charges of $4.0 million to $5.0 million,
all for one-time termination benefits. The Company anticipates the plan will be completed by
the end of the third quarter of 2008 and that the majority of cash expenditures will be incurred
in the third quarter of 2008.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased to $1.34 billion at June 29, 2008 from $1.29 billion at December 30, 2007
primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and inventories.
Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, decreased by $77.2 million
at June 29, 2008 from December 30, 2007 and decreased by $72.7 million at June 29, 2008 from July
1, 2007.
Significant changes in net working capital from December 30, 2007 were as follows:
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $25.8 million primarily due to higher sales in
the quarter ended June 2008 compared to the quarter ended
December 2007. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable from and an increase in accounts payable to The
Coca-Cola Company of $13.4 million and $29.3 million, respectively, primarily due to the
timing of payments. |
|
|
|
An increase in inventories of $5.9 million due primarily to increased purchases of finished
products. |
|
|
|
A decrease in accrued compensation of $9.0 million due primarily to the payment of bonuses
in March 2008 and a lower accrual for 2008 bonuses. |
|
|
|
An increase in current portion of long-term debt of $111.9 million primarily due to the
reclassification from long-term to current of $119.3 million of debentures which mature in May
2009. |
|
|
|
A decrease in accounts payable, trade of $5.9 million primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
48
Significant changes in net working capital from July 1, 2007 were as follows:
|
|
A decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $61.8 million primarily due to the payment of
$100 million of debentures in November 2007. |
|
|
|
An increase in accounts receivable, trade of $8.3 million primarily due to higher sales in
Q2 2008 compared to Q2 2007 and the collection of payments from customers on the last day of
June 2008 which was in the third quarter of 2008, while the last day of June 2007 was in the
second quarter of 2007. |
|
|
|
A decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola
Company of $5.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, primarily due to the timing of
payments. |
|
|
|
An increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5.2 million primarily due to
an increase in current deferred tax assets. |
|
|
|
An increase in the current portion of long-term debt of $19.3 million primarily due to the
reclassification from long-term to current of $119.3 million of debentures which mature in May
2009, partially offset by the payment of $100 million in
debentures in November 2007. |
Debt and capital lease obligations were $700.4 million as of June 29, 2008 compared to $679.1
million as of December 30, 2007 and $772.9 million as of July 1, 2007. Debt and capital lease
obligations as of June 29, 2008 included $78.9 million of capital lease obligations related
primarily to Company facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
The Companys sources of capital include cash flows from operations, available credit facilities
and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Management believes the Company has sufficient
resources available to finance its business plan, meet its working capital requirements and
maintain an appropriate level of capital spending. The amount and frequency of future dividends
will be determined by the Companys 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 June 29, 2008, the Company had $170 million available under its $200 million revolving credit facility to
meet its cash requirements. The revolving credit facility contains two financial covenants: a
fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit
agreement. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. Also, the Company borrows
periodically under an uncommitted line of credit. This uncommitted line of credit, in the
aggregate amount of $35 million at June 29, 2008, is made available at the discretion of a
participating bank at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by
such bank. The Company uses the $200 million revolving credit facility to provide appropriate
liquidity when the uncommitted line of credit is unavailable.
The Company expects to use cash flow generated from operations, its revolving credit facility and
potentially other sources, including bank borrowings or issuance of debentures or equity securities, to repay or refinance debentures maturing in May 2009 and July 2009.
The Company has obtained the majority of its long-term financing, other than capital leases, from
public markets. As of June 29, 2008, $591.5 million of the Companys total outstanding balance of
debt and capital lease obligations of $700.4 million was financed through publicly offered debt.
The Company had capital lease obligations of $78.9
million and $30.0 million outstanding on its $200 million revolving credit facility as of June
49
29, 2008. The Companys 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 and
financing activities. The primary uses of cash have been for capital expenditures, the payment of
debt and capital lease obligations and the payment of dividends.

Investing Activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment during YTD 2008 were $31.6 million compared to $19.0
million during YTD 2007. Capital expenditures during YTD 2008 were
funded with cash flows from operations and borrowings from the
Companys available line of credit and the revolving credit facility. The Company anticipates total
additions to property, plant and equipment in 2008 will be in the range of $45 million to $55 million.
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.
Financing Activities
On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility (the $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 rate of LIBOR
plus an interest rate spread of .35%. In addition, the Company must
pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the lenders aggregate commitments under the facility. Both the interest rate spread and
the facility
fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior
unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a
50
fixed charge coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement.
The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. There was $30.0 million outstanding
under the revolving credit facility at June 29, 2008. There were no amounts outstanding under the
revolving credit facility at December 30, 2007 and July 1, 2007.
The Company borrows periodically under an uncommitted line of credit. This uncommitted line of
credit, in the aggregate amount of $35 million at June 29, 2008, is made available at the
discretion of a participating bank at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be
withdrawn at any time by such bank. The Company can utilize its revolving credit facility in the
event the uncommitted line of credit is not available. There were no amounts outstanding under
uncommitted lines of credit at June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007. On December 30, 2007, $7.4 million
was outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit.
The Company expects to use cash flow generated from operations, its revolving credit facility and
potentially other sources, including bank borrowings or issuance of debentures or equity securities, to repay or refinance debentures maturing in May 2009 and July 2009.
All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of
the Companys subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt. The Company or its
subsidiaries have entered into four capital leases.
At June 29, 2008, the Companys credit ratings were as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Long-Term Debt |
Standard & Poors
|
|
BBB |
Moodys
|
|
Baa2 |
The Companys credit ratings are reviewed periodically by the respective rating agencies. Changes
in the Companys operating results or financial position could result in changes in the Companys
credit ratings. Lower credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs and/or different
credit terms for the Company. There were no changes in these credit ratings from the prior year.
The Companys public debt is not subject to financial covenants but does limit the incurrence of
certain liens and encumbrances as well as indebtedness by the Companys 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 2007 performance, effective
December 31, 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
Companys Annual Bonus Plan.
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 Companys Annual Bonus Plan. Each annual
20,000 share tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the
Companys 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 Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance
requirement for 2008, were set in Q1 2008 and the Company recorded the 20,000 share award with
respect to 2008
performance at the grant-date price of $56.50 per share. Total stock compensation expense would be
approximately $1.1 million over the one-year service period if the Company achieves 80% of the
overall goal
51
achievement factor in the Companys Bonus Plan. The Company currently estimates it
will not achieve at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Companys 2008 Annual
Bonus Plan required for the stock award to vest. Accordingly, the estimated expense recorded in Q1 2008 was reversed in Q2 2008 based upon the Companys estimate.
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, if necessary, over the one-year service period.
On April 29, 2008, the stockholders approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for Mr. Harrison,
III consisting of 400,000 performance units (Units). Each Unit represents the right to receive
one share of the Companys Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The
Units will vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The
Units vested each year will equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement
factor (not to exceed 100%) as determined under the Companys existing Annual Bonus Plan based
upon annual targets defined by the Compensation Committee. The Performance Unit Award Agreement
will replace the restricted stock award discussed above which expires at the end of 2008 and will
not affect the Companys results of operation or financial position during 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is a member of two manufacturing cooperatives and has guaranteed $43.2 million of debt
and related lease obligations for these entities as of June 29, 2008. In addition, the Company
has an equity ownership in each of the entities. As of June 29, 2008, the Companys maximum
exposure, if the entities borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $65.5 million
including the Companys equity interests. See Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements
for additional information about these entities.

The Company has $9.5 million of unrecognized income tax benefits including accrued interest as of
June 29, 2008 (included in other long-term liabilities in the table above) of which $8.4 million
would affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not anticipate any
significant 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.
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 Companys
table of contractual obligations and commercial commitments since there are no minimum purchase
requirements.
As of June 29, 2008, the Company has $19.5 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related
to its property and casualty insurance programs. See Note 14 of the consolidated financial
statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax
matters.
The Company anticipates that contributions to one of the Company-sponsored pension plans in 2008
will be approximately $0.2 million. Postretirement medical care payments are expected to be
approximately
53
$2.3
million in 2008. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information
related to pension and postretirement obligations.
Hedging Activities
Interest Rate Hedging
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 Companys debt level and the potential
impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys 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.
The Company currently has six interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements
effectively convert $225 million of the Companys 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 $.9 million and $.8 million
during YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations after taking
into account all of the interest rate hedging activities was 5.4% as of June 29, 2008 compared to
6.2% as of December 30, 2007 and 6.7% as of July 1, 2007. Approximately 43% of the Companys
debt and capital lease obligations of $700.4 million as of June 29, 2008 was maintained on a
floating rate basis and was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.
Assuming no changes in the Companys capital structure, if market interest rates average 1% more
over the next twelve months than the interest rates as of June 29, 2008, interest expense for the
next twelve months would increase by approximately $2.8 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 June 29, 2008, including the effects of the Companys
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 Companys floating rate
debt and derivative financial instruments.
Fuel Hedging
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge the
majority of the Companys vehicle fuel purchases. These derivative instruments relate to diesel
fuel and unleaded gasoline used in the Companys delivery fleet. Derivative instruments used
include puts, calls and caps which effectively establish a limit on the Companys 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
accounts for its fuel hedges on a mark-to-market basis with any expense or income being reflected
as an adjustment of fuel costs.

compared to fiscal 2007, assuming flat volume, would be approximately $23 million. |
These statements and expectations are based on currently available competitive, financial and
economic data along with the Companys operating plans, and are subject to future events and
uncertainties that could cause anticipated events not to occur or actual results to differ
materially from historical or anticipated results. Factors that could impact those differences or
adversely affect future periods include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2007 under Item 1A. Risk
Factors.
Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on the Companys forward-looking statements,
which reflect the expectations of management of the Company only as of the time such statements are
made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
56
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to certain market risks that arise in the ordinary course of business. The
Company may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions to manage or reduce market
risk. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for trading
purposes. A discussion of the Companys primary market risk exposure and interest rate risk is
presented below.
Debt and Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk on its fixed and floating rate debt. The Company
periodically uses interest rate hedging products to modify 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 Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are
performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest
rate movements. The counterparties to these interest rate hedging arrangements are major financial
institutions with which the Company also has other financial relationships. 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 generally maintains between 40% and 60% of
total borrowings at variable interest rates after taking into account all of the interest rate
hedging activities. While this is the target range for the percentage of total borrowings at
variable interest rates, the financial position of the Company and market conditions may result in
strategies outside of this range at certain points in time. Approximately 43% of the Companys
debt and capital lease obligations of $700.4 million as of June 29, 2008 was subject to changes in
short-term interest rates.
As it relates to the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate leases, assuming no changes in
the Companys financial structure, if market interest rates average 1% more over the next twelve
months than the interest rates as of June 29, 2008, interest expense for the following 12 months
would increase by approximately $2.8 million. This amount was determined by calculating the effect
of the hypothetical interest rate on our variable rate debt and variable rate leases after giving
consideration to all our interest rate hedging activities. 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 Companys floating rate debt and derivative financial instruments.
Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk
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. The combined impact of a 10%
increase in the cost of such commodities as compared to fiscal 2007, assuming flat volume, would be
approximately $23 million.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge the majority of the
Companys vehicle fuel purchases. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel and unleaded
gasoline used in the Companys delivery fleet. Instruments used include puts, calls and caps which
effectively establish a limit on the Companys 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.
57
Effects of Changing Prices
The principal effect of inflation on the Companys operating results is to increase costs. The
Company may raise selling prices to offset these cost increases; however, the resulting impact on
retail prices may reduce the volume of product purchased by consumers.
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 Companys management, including the Companys
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys 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 Companys 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 SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
the Companys 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 29, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
