PART I



Item 1.Business



Introduction



Coca-Cola
Bottling Co. Consolidated, a Delaware corporation (together with its majority-owned subsidiaries, the Company), produces, markets and distributes nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia
(The Coca-Cola Company) which include some of the most recognized and popular beverage brands in the world. The Company, which was incorporated in 1980, and its predecessors have been in the nonalcoholic beverage manufacturing and
distribution business since 1902.



The Company is the second
largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States. Since 2000, the Company has placed significant emphasis on new product innovation and product line extensions as a strategy to increase overall revenue. Additionally, the Company considers
opportunities for acquiring additional territories on an ongoing basis. To achieve its goals, further purchases and sales of bottling rights and entities possessing such rights and other related transactions designed to facilitate such purchases and
sales may occur.



The Coca-Cola Company currently owns
approximately 27% of the Companys total outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a combined basis. J. Frank Harrison, III, the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is party to a Voting Agreement and Irrevocable
Proxy with The Coca-Cola Company pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Harrison, III has been granted an Irrevocable Proxy for life concerning the shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by The Coca-Cola Company.
Mr. Harrison, III currently owns or controls approximately 92% of the combined voting power of the Companys outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.



General



The Company holds Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts under which it produces and markets, in certain regions, carbonated nonalcoholic beverage
products of The Coca-Cola Company.



The Company also holds
Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts under which it distributes and markets in certain regions noncarbonated beverages such as POWERade, Dasani, Dasani flavors, Minute Maid Adult Refreshments and Minute Maid Juices To Go. The Company holds contracts to
produce and market Dr Pepper in some of its regions. The Company also distributes and markets various other products, including Full Throttle, Tab Energy, Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes and Sundrop, in one or more of the Companys regions under
agreements with the companies that hold and license the use of their trademarks for these beverages. Beginning in 2007, the Company began distribution of two of its own products, Respect and Tum-E Yummies. In addition, the Company also produces soft
drinks for other Coca-Cola bottlers. In some instances, the Company distributes beverages without a written agreement.



The Companys principal soft drink is Coca-Cola classic. In each of the last three fiscal years, sales of products bearing the Coca-Cola
or Coke trademark have accounted for more than half of the Companys bottle/can sales volume to retail customers. In total, the products of The Coca-Cola Company accounted for approximately 90% of the Companys bottle/can sales
volume to retail customers during fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004.



Beverage Agreements



The Company holds
contracts with The Coca-Cola Company which entitle the Company to produce, market and distribute in its exclusive territory The Coca-Cola Companys soft drinks in bottles, cans and five gallon pressurized pre-mix containers. The Company is one
of many companies holding such contracts. The Coca-Cola Company is the sole owner of the secret formulas pursuant to which the primary components (either concentrates

or syrups) of Coca-Cola trademark beverages and other trademark beverages are manufactured. The concentrates, when mixed with water and sweetener, produce
syrup which, when mixed with carbonated water, produces the soft drink known as Coca-Cola classic and other soft drinks of The Coca-Cola Company which are manufactured and marketed by the Company. The Company also purchases sweeteners
from The Coca-Cola Company. No royalty or other compensation is paid under the contracts with The Coca-Cola Company for the Companys right to use, in its territories, the tradenames and trademarks, such as Coca-Cola classic and
their associated patents, copyrights, designs and labels, which are owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The Coca-Cola Company has no rights under these contracts to establish the resale prices at which the Company sells its products. The Company has
similar arrangements with Cadbury Schweppes and other beverage companies.



Bottle Contracts for Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages.    The Company is party to standard bottle contracts with The Coca-Cola Company for each of its bottling territories (the Bottle
Contracts) which provide that the Company will purchase its entire requirement of concentrates and syrups for beverages bearing the trademark Coca-Cola or Coke (the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages) from The
Coca-Cola Company. The Company may not produce, deal in or otherwise handle any cola product other than those of The Coca-Cola Company. The Company has the exclusive right to distribute Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages for sale in its
territories in authorized containers of the nature currently used by the Company, which include cans and nonrefillable bottles. The Coca-Cola Company may determine from time to time the type of containers to authorize for use by the Company. The
Company cannot sell Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages outside of its exclusive territories.



The prices The Coca-Cola Company charges for concentrate and syrup under the Bottle Contracts are reset by The Coca-Cola Company. Except as provided in the Supplementary Agreement described below, there are no
limitations on prices for concentrate or syrup. Consequently, the prices at which the Company purchases concentrate and syrup in the future under the Bottle Contracts may vary materially from the prices it has paid during the periods covered by the
financial information included in this report.



Under the
Bottle Contracts, the Company is obligated:



| |  |  | to maintain such plant, equipment, staff and distribution and vending facilities as are capable of manufacturing, packaging and distributing the Coca-Cola Trademark
Beverages in authorized containers, and in sufficient quantities to satisfy fully the demand for these beverages in its territories;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to undertake adequate quality control measures and maintain sanitation standards prescribed by The Coca-Cola Company;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to develop, stimulate and satisfy fully the demand for Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and to use all approved means, and to spend such funds on advertising and other
forms of marketing as may be reasonably required, to meet that objective; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to maintain such sound financial capacity as may be reasonably necessary to assure performance by the Company and its affiliates of their obligations to The
Coca-Cola Company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Bottle Contracts
require the Company to submit to The Coca-Cola Company each year its plans for marketing, management and advertising with respect to the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages for the ensuing year. Such plans must demonstrate that the Company has the
financial capacity to perform its duties and obligations to The Coca-Cola Company under the Bottle Contracts. The Bottle Contracts require that the Company obtain The Coca-Cola Companys approval of those plans, which approval may not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Bottle Contracts provide that if the Company carries out its plans in all material respects, it will have satisfied its contractual obligations to The Coca-Cola Company. The Bottle Contracts further provide that
failure to carry out such plans in all material respects would constitute an event of default which, if not cured within 120 days of notice of such failure, would give The Coca-Cola Company the right to terminate the Bottle Contracts. The Bottle
Contracts further provide that if the Company at any time fails to carry out a plan in all material respects with respect to any geographic segment (as defined by The Coca-Cola Company) of its

territory, and if that failure is not cured within six months of notice of such failure, The Coca-Cola Company may reduce the territory covered by the
applicable Bottle Contract by eliminating the portion of the territory with respect to which the failure has occurred.



The Coca-Cola Company has no obligation under the Bottle Contracts to participate with the Company in expenditures for advertising and marketing. As it
has in the past, The Coca-Cola Company may contribute to such expenditures and undertake independent advertising and marketing activities, as well as advertising and sales promotion programs which require mutual cooperation and financial support of
the Company. The future levels of marketing funding support and promotional funds provided by The Coca-Cola Company may vary materially from the levels provided during the periods covered by the information included in this report.



The Coca-Cola Company has the sole and exclusive right and discretion to
reformulate any of the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages. In addition, The Coca-Cola Company has the right to discontinue any of the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages, subject to certain limitations, so long as all Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages are not
discontinued. The Coca-Cola Company may also introduce new beverages under the trademarks Coca-Cola or Coke or any modification thereof, and in that event the Company would be obligated to manufacture, package, distribute and
sell the new beverages with the same duties as exist under the Bottle Contracts with respect to Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages.



If the Company acquires the right to manufacture and sell Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages in any additional territory, the Company has agreed that such new
territory will be covered by a standard contract in the same form as the Bottle Contracts and that any existing agreement with respect to the acquired territory automatically shall be amended to conform to the terms of the Bottle Contracts. In
addition, if the Company acquires control, directly or indirectly, of any bottler of Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages, or any party controlling a bottler of Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages, the Company must cause the acquired bottler to amend its
franchises for the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages to conform to the terms of the Bottle Contracts.



The Bottle Contracts are perpetual, subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event of default by the Company. Events of default by the
Company include:



| |  |  | the Companys insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, receivership or similar conditions;

In addition, upon termination of the Bottle Contracts for any reason, The Coca-Cola Company, at its
discretion, may also terminate any other agreements with the Company regarding the manufacture, packaging, distribution, sale or promotion of soft drinks, including the Allied Bottle Contracts described below.



The Company is prohibited from assigning, transferring or pledging its Bottle
Contracts or any interest therein, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company. Moreover, the Company may not enter into any contract or other arrangement to manage or participate in the management
of any other Coca-Cola bottler without the prior consent of The Coca-Cola Company.



The Coca-Cola Company may automatically amend the Bottle Contracts if 80% of the domestic bottlers who are parties to agreements with The Coca-Cola Company containing substantially the same terms as the Bottle
Contracts, which bottlers purchased for their own account 80% of the syrup and equivalent gallons of concentrate for Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages purchased for the account of all such bottlers, agree that their bottle contracts shall be likewise
amended.



Allied Bottle Contracts with The Coca-Cola
Company.    The Company is a party to other contracts with The Coca-Cola Company (the Allied Bottle Contracts) which grant exclusive rights to the Company with respect to the distribution of carbonated beverages
that are not Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and certain noncarbonated beverages (together, the Allied Beverages) for sale in authorized containers in its territories. These contracts contain provisions that are similar to those of the
Bottle Contracts with respect to pricing, authorized containers, planning, quality control, trademark and transfer restrictions and related matters. Each Allied Bottle Contract has a term of ten years and is renewable by the Company for an
additional ten years at the end of each ten-year period, but is subject to termination by The Coca-Cola Company in the event of:



| |  |  | the Companys insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, receivership or similar condition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | termination of the Companys Bottle Contracts covering the same territory by either party for any reason; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any material breach of any obligation of the Company under the Allied Bottle Contracts that remains uncured for 120 days after notice by The Coca-Cola Company.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The territories covered by the Allied Bottle
Contracts are the same as the territories covered by the Bottle Contracts, except the Company does not sell Mr Pibb in the territories the Company sells Dr Pepper. The Company intends to renew substantially all the Allied Bottle Contracts as they
expire.



Supplementary Agreement Relating to Bottle
Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts.    The Company and The Coca-Cola Company are also parties to a Supplementary Agreement (the Supplementary Agreement) that modifies some of the provisions of the Bottle
Contracts for the Coca-Cola Trademark Beverages and the Allied Bottle Contracts. The Supplementary Agreement provides that The Coca-Cola Company will:



| |  |  | exercise good faith and fair dealing in its relationship with the Company under the Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | offer marketing funding support and exercise its rights under the Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts in a manner consistent with its dealings with
comparable bottlers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | offer to the Company any written amendment to the Bottle Contracts or Allied Bottle Contracts (except amendments dealing with transfer of ownership) which it offers
to any other bottler in the United States; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | subject to certain limited exceptions, sell syrups and concentrates to the Company at prices no greater than those charged to other bottlers which are parties to
contracts substantially similar to the Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Supplementary Agreement permits transfers of the Companys capital stock that would otherwise be limited by the Bottle Contracts.

Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts with The Coca-Cola Company.The Company
purchases and distributes certain noncarbonated beverages such as sports drinks, teas and juice drinks primarily in finished form from The Coca-Cola Company, and produces, markets and distributes Dasani water, pursuant to the terms of marketing and
distribution agreements (the Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts). The Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts contain provisions that are similar to the Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts with respect to authorized containers, planning
and related matters, but the Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts also have certain significant differences. Unlike the Bottle Contracts and Allied Bottle Contracts, which grant the Company exclusivity in the distribution of the respective beverages in
the territory, the Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts grant exclusivity but permit The Coca-Cola Company to test market the noncarbonated beverage products in the territory, subject to the Companys right of first refusal, and to sell the
noncarbonated beverages to commissaries for delivery to retail outlets in the Companys territory where noncarbonated beverages are consumed on-premise, including restaurants. The Coca-Cola Company must pay the Company certain fees in the event
of such commissary sales. Also, under the Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts, the Company may not sell other beverages in the same product category. The Coca-Cola Company establishes the pricing the Company must pay for the noncarbonated beverages or,
in the case of Dasani, the concentrate. Each of the Noncarbonated Beverage Contracts has a term of ten or fifteen years and is renewable by the Company at the end of each term. The Company intends to renew substantially all the Noncarbonated
Beverage Contracts as they expire.



Other Bottling
Agreements.    The bottling agreements from most other beverage companies are similar to those described above in that they are renewable at the option of the Company. The price the beverage companies may charge for syrup or
concentrate is set by the beverage companies from time to time. These bottling agreements also contain similar restrictions on the use of trademarks, approved bottles, cans and labels and sale of imitations or substitutes as well as termination for
cause provisions. Sales of beverages by the Company under these agreements represented approximately 10% of the Companys bottle/can volume sales to retail customers for 2006, 2005 and 2004. The territories covered by bottling agreements for
products of beverage companies other than The Coca-Cola Company in most cases correspond with the territories covered by the Bottle Contracts. The variations do not have a material effect on the Companys business.



Post-Mix Rights and Sales to Other
Bottlers.    The Company also has the non-exclusive right to sell Coca-Cola classic and other fountain syrups (post-mix) of The Coca-Cola Company and fountain syrups of Cadbury Schweppes relating to Dr Pepper and
Sundrop. In addition, the Company produces some products for sale to other Coca-Cola bottlers. Sales to other bottlers have lower margins but allow the Company to achieve higher utilization of its production equipment and facilities.



The Companys net sales by category as a percentage of total net sales
was as follows:



|                                          |  |             |   |  |      |   |  |      |

The increase in sales
to other Coca-Cola bottlers in 2005 and 2006 resulted primarily from volume related to shipments of Full Throttle, an energy product of The Coca-Cola Company. The Company produces Full Throttle for many of the Coca-Cola bottlers in the eastern half
of the United States and anticipates continuing to produce this product for most of these Coca-Cola bottlers in 2007.

Raw Materials



In addition to concentrates obtained by the Company from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies for use in its
soft drink manufacturing, the Company also purchases sweeteners, carbon dioxide, plastic bottles, cans, closures and other packaging materials as well as equipment for the production, distribution and marketing of soft drinks. Except for sweeteners,
cans, carbon dioxide and plastic bottles, the Company purchases its raw materials from multiple suppliers.



The Company purchases substantially all of its plastic bottles (20-ounce, half liter, 390 ml and 2 liter sizes) from manufacturing plants which are owned
and operated by Southeastern Container and Western Container, two cooperatives of Coca-Cola bottlers, which include the Company. The Company currently obtains all of its aluminum cans from one domestic supplier.



None of the materials or supplies used by the Company are currently in short
supply, although the supply of specific materials (including plastic bottles, which are formulated using petroleum-based products) could be adversely affected by strikes, weather conditions, governmental controls or national emergency conditions.



Along with all the 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 has negotiated the procurement for the majority of the Companys raw materials
(excluding concentrate) since 2004.



The Company anticipates
that beginning in 2007, the majority of the Companys aluminum requirements will not have any ceiling price protection. Based upon current market prices for aluminum, the Company anticipates the cost of aluminum cans may increase by 10% to 20%
in 2007. High fructose corn syrup costs are also expected to increase significantly in 2007 as a result of increasing demand for corn products around the world and as a result of alternate uses for corn, such as ethanol. Based upon current market
prices for corn, the Company anticipates the costs of high fructose corn syrup will increase by 20% to 35% in 2007. The combined impact of increasing costs for aluminum cans and high fructose corn syrup, assuming flat volume, is anticipated to range
between $24 million and $45 million.



Customers and
Marketing



The Companys products are sold and
distributed directly to retail stores and other outlets, including food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During 2006, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume to retail customers was sold for future
consumption. The remaining sales volume of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption, primarily through dispensing machines owned either by the Company, retail outlets or third party vending companies. The Companys largest customer,
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 16% of the Companys total bottle/can sales volume to retail customers and the second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 12% of the Companys total bottle/can
sales volume to retail customers. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for approximately 11% of the Companys total net sales. All of the Companys sales are to customers in the United States.



New product introductions, packaging changes and sales promotions have been
the primary sales and marketing practices in the nonalcoholic beverage industry in recent years and have required and are expected to continue to require substantial expenditures. Brand introductions in the last three years include Coca-Cola Zero,
Coca-Cola C2, diet Coke with lime, diet Coke with lemon, Vault, Vault Zero, Dasani flavors, Minute Maid Light, Sprite Remix and Full Throttle. New packaging introductions include Fridge Pack 12-ounce plastic bottles. New product and packaging
introductions have resulted in increased operating costs for the Company due to special marketing efforts, obsolescence of replaced items and, in some cases, higher raw material costs.

##### Table of Contents

The Company sells its products primarily in nonrefillable bottles and cans, in varying proportions from
market to market. There may be as many as 20 different packages for Coca-Cola classic within a single geographic area. Bottle/can sales volume to retail customers during 2006 was approximately 47% cans, 51% nonrefillable bottles and 2% other
containers.



Advertising in various media, primarily television
and radio, is relied upon extensively in the marketing of the Companys products. The Coca-Cola Company and Cadbury Schweppes (the Beverage Companies) make substantial expenditures on advertising in the Companys territories.
The Company has also benefited from national advertising programs conducted by the Beverage Companies. In addition, the Company expends substantial funds on its own behalf for extensive local sales promotions of the Companys products.
Historically, these expenses have been partially offset by marketing funding support which the Beverage Companies provide to the Company in support of a variety of marketing programs, such as point-of-sale displays and merchandising programs.
However, the Beverage Companies are under no obligation to provide the Company with marketing funding support in the future.



The substantial outlays which the Company makes for marketing and merchandising programs are generally regarded as necessary to maintain or increase
revenue, and any significant curtailment of marketing funding support provided by the Beverage Companies for marketing programs which benefit the Company could have a material adverse effect on the operating and financial results of the Company.



Seasonality



Sales are seasonal, with the highest sales volume occurring in May, June,
July and August. The Company has adequate production capacity to meet sales demand for carbonated beverages during these peak periods. Sales volume can be impacted by weather conditions. See Item 2. Properties for information relating to
utilization of the Companys production facilities.



Competition



The nonalcoholic beverage market
is highly competitive. The Companys competitors in these markets include bottlers and distributors of nationally advertised and marketed products, regionally advertised and marketed products, as well as bottlers and distributors of private
label beverages in supermarket stores. The carbonated beverage market (including energy products) comprised 87% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume to retail customers in 2006. In each region in which the Company operates, between 75% and
95% of carbonated beverage sales in bottles, cans and pre-mix containers are accounted for by the Company and its principal competition, which in each region includes the local bottler of Pepsi-Cola and, in some regions, also includes the local
bottler of Dr Pepper, Royal Crown and/or 7-Up products.



The
principal methods of competition in the soft drink 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 that it is competitive in its territories with respect to these methods of competition.



Government Regulation



The production and marketing of beverages are subject to the rules and regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and
other federal, state and local health agencies. The FDA also regulates the labeling of containers.



As a manufacturer, distributor and seller of beverage products of The Coca-Cola Company and other soft drink manufacturers in exclusive territories, the
Company is subject to antitrust laws of general applicability. However, pursuant to the United States Soft Drink Interbrand Competition Act, soft drink bottlers such as the



8



---

##### Table of Contents

Company may have an exclusive right to manufacture, distribute and sell a soft drink product in a defined geographic territory if that soft drink product is
in substantial and effective competition with other products of the same general class in the market. The Company believes there is such substantial and effective competition in each of the exclusive geographic territories in the United States in
which the Company operates.



From time to time, legislation has
been proposed in Congress and by certain state and local governments which would prohibit the sale of soft drink products in nonrefillable bottles and cans or require a mandatory deposit as a means of encouraging the return of such containers in an
attempt to reduce solid waste and litter. The Company is currently not impacted by this type of proposed legislation.



Soft drink and similar-type taxes have been in place in West Virginia and Tennessee for several years.



The Company has experienced public policy challenges regarding the sale of
soft drinks in schools, particularly elementary, middle and high schools. At December 31, 2006, a number of states had regulations restricting the sale of soft drinks and other foods in schools. Many of these restrictions have existed for
several years in connection with subsidized meal programs in schools. The focus has more recently turned to the growing health, nutrition and obesity concerns of todays youth. Restrictive legislation, if widely enacted, could have an adverse
impact on the Companys products, image and reputation.



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



Environmental
Remediation



The Company does not currently have any
material capital expenditure commitments for environmental compliance or environmental remediation for any of its properties. The Company does not believe compliance with federal, state and local provisions that have been enacted or adopted
regarding the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, will have a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.



Employees



As of February 1, 2007, the Company had approximately 5,700 full-time
employees, of whom approximately 400 were union members. The total number of employees, including part-time employees, was approximately 6,300.



On February 2, 2007, the Company initiated plans to simplify its operating management structure and reduce its workforce in order to improve
operating efficiencies across the Companys business. The Company believes these changes will allow it to better compete in the marketplace. As a result of these plans, the Company estimates incurring $1.5 million to $2.0 million for one-time
benefits for approximately 55 terminated employees and $1.0 million to $1.5 million for other associated costs, primarily relocation expenses for certain employees, in connection with these changes. In total, the Company estimates incurring $2.5
million to $3.5 million related to these changes. Further, the Company estimates that $1.0 million to $2.0 million of the charges identified above will result in cash expenditures subsequent to the first quarter of 2007 and anticipates substantially
all of the cash expenditures occurring prior to 2007 fiscal year end.



Approximately 7% of the Companys labor force is currently covered by collective bargaining agreements. Two collective bargaining agreements covering less than 1% of the Companys employees expire in 2007.

Exchange Act Reports



The Company makes available free of charge through its Internet website, www.cokeconsolidated.com, its annual
report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The SEC maintains an Internet website, www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information filed electronically with the SEC. Any materials that the Company files with the SEC
may also be read and copied at the SECs Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D. C. 20549.



Information on the operations of the Public Reference Room is available by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The information provided on the
Companys website is not part of this report and is not incorporated herein by reference.



Item 1A.Risk Factors



In addition to other information in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Companys business.
The Companys business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company, or
that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also impair its business and results of operations.



Lower than expected selling prices resulting from increased marketplace competition could adversely affect the Companys profitability.



The nonalcoholic beverage markets are highly competitive. The Companys competitors in these markets include bottlers
and distributors of nationally advertised and marketed products, regionally advertised and marketed products and private label beverages. Although the Company has placed an emphasis on revenue management, there can be no assurance that increased
competition will not reduce the Companys profitability.



Changes in
how significant customers market or promote the Companys products could reduce revenue.



The Companys revenue is impacted by how significant customers market or promote the Companys products. Revenue has been negatively impacted by
less aggressive price promotion by some retailers in the future consumption channels in the past several years. If the Companys significant customers change the manner in which they market or promote the Companys products, the
Companys revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted.



Changes in public and consumer preferences related to nonalcoholic beverages could reduce demand for the Companys products and reduce profitability.



The Companys business depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable
ways. The success of the Companys business in large measure depends on working with the Beverage Companies to meet the changing preferences of the broad consumer market. Health and wellness trends throughout the marketplace have resulted in a
shift from sugar carbonated beverages to diet carbonated beverages, tea, sports drinks and bottled water over the past several years. Failure to satisfy changing consumer preferences could adversely affect the profitability of the Companys
business.



The Companys inability to meet requirements under its
bottling contracts could result in the loss of distribution rights.



Approximately 90% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume with retail customers consists of products of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of the concentrates or syrups required to manufacture these



10



---

##### Table of Contents

products. The remaining 10% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume with retail customers generally consists of products of other beverage companies.
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 products.



Material changes in, or the Companys inability to meet, the performance requirements
for marketing funding support, or decreases from historic levels of marketing funding support, could reduce the Companys profitability.



Material changes in the performance requirements, or decreases in the levels of marketing funding support historically provided, under marketing programs
with The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies, or the Companys inability to meet the performance requirements for the anticipated levels of such marketing funding support payments, could adversely affect the Companys
profitability. The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies are under no obligation to continue marketing funding support at historic levels.



Changes in The Coca-Cola Companys and other beverage companies levels of advertising, marketing spending and brand innovation could reduce the
Companys sales volume.



The Coca-Cola Companys
and other beverage companies levels of advertising, marketing spending and brand innovation directly impact the Companys operations. While the Company does not believe there will be significant changes in the levels of marketing and
advertising by the Beverage Companies, there can be no assurance that historic levels will continue. In addition, if the sales volume of sugar carbonated beverages continues to decline, the Companys sales volume growth will continue to be
dependent on brand innovation by the Beverage Companies, especially The Coca-Cola Company. Decreases in Beverage Company marketing, advertising and product brand innovation could adversely impact the profitability of the Company.



The inability of the Companys aluminum can or plastic bottle suppliers to meet the
Companys purchase requirements could reduce the Companys profitability.



The Company currently obtains all of its aluminum cans from one domestic supplier and all of its plastic bottles from two domestic cooperatives. The inability of these aluminum can or plastic bottle suppliers to meet
the Companys requirements for containers could result in short-term shortages until alternative sources of supply can be located. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks by working closely with key suppliers and by purchasing business
interruption insurance where appropriate. Failure of the aluminum can or plastic bottle suppliers to meet the Companys purchase requirements could reduce the Companys profitability.



The inability of the Company to offset higher raw material costs with higher selling
prices, increased bottle/can sales volume or reduced expenses could have an adverse impact on the Companys profitability.



Packaging costs, primarily plastic bottle costs and aluminum can costs, increased in 2006. The Company expects aluminum can and high fructose corn syrup
costs to increase significantly in 2007. In addition, there are no limits on the prices The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can charge for concentrate. If the Company cannot offset higher raw material costs with higher selling prices,
increased sales volume or reductions in other costs, the Companys profitability could be adversely affected.



Sustained increases in fuel costs or the inability of the Company to secure adequate supplies of fuel could have an adverse impact on the Companys profitability.



The Company has experienced significant increases in fuel
costs as a result primarily of macro-economic factors beyond the Companys control. The Company uses significant amounts of fuel in the distribution of its products. Events such as natural disasters could impact the supply of fuel and could
impact the timely delivery of the Companys products to its customers. While the Company is working to reduce fuel consumption, there can



11



---

##### Table of Contents

be no assurance that the Company will succeed in limiting future cost increases. Continued upward pressure in these costs could reduce the profitability of
the Companys operations.



Sustained increases in workers
compensation, employment practices and vehicle accident costs could reduce the Companys profitability.



The Company is generally self-insured for the costs of workers compensation, employment practices and vehicle accident claims. Losses are accrued
using assumptions and procedures followed in the insurance industry, adjusted for company-specific history and expectations. Although the Company has actively sought to control increases in these costs, there can be no assurance that the Company
will succeed in limiting future cost increases. Continued upward pressure in these costs could reduce the profitability of the Companys operations.



Sustained increases in the cost of employee benefits could reduce the Companys profitability.



The Companys profitability is substantially affected by the cost of pension retirement benefits, postretirement
medical benefits and current employees medical benefits. In recent years, the Company has experienced significant increases in these costs as a result of macro-economic factors beyond the Companys control, including increases in health
care costs, declines in investment returns on pension assets and changes in discount rates used to calculate pension and related liabilities. Although the Company has actively sought to control increases in these costs, there can be no assurance the
Company will succeed in limiting future cost increases, and continued upward pressure in these costs could reduce the profitability of the Companys operations.



Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the profitability of the Company.



Approximately 42% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of
$769.0 million as of December 31, 2006 was subject to changes in short-term interest rates. Rising interest rates have increased the Companys interest expense over the past two years. In addition, the Companys pension and
postretirement medical benefits costs are subject to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase in the future, there can be no assurance that future increases in interest expense will not reduce the Companys overall profitability.



The Companys credit rating could be impacted by The Coca-Cola
Company.



The Companys credit rating could be
significantly impacted by capital management activities of The Coca-Cola Company and/or changes in the credit rating of The Coca-Cola Company. A lower credit rating could significantly increase the Companys interest cost.



Changes in legal contingencies could impact the Companys future profitability.



Changes from expectations for the resolution of
outstanding legal claims and assessments could have a material adverse impact on the Companys profitability and financial condition. In addition, the Companys failure to abide by laws, orders or other legal commitments could subject the
Company to fines, penalties or other damages.



Additional taxes resulting
from tax audits could impact the Companys future profitability.



An assessment of additional taxes resulting from audits of the Companys tax filings could have a material impact on the Companys profitability, cash flows and financial condition.



Natural disasters and unfavorable weather could impact the Companys future
profitability.



Natural disasters or unfavorable weather
conditions in the geographic regions in which the Company does business could have a material impact on the Companys revenue and profitability.

Issues surrounding labor relations could impact the Companys future profitability and/or its operating
efficiency.



Approximately 7% of the Companys
employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The inability to renegotiate subsequent agreements on satisfactory terms and conditions could result in work interruptions or stoppages, which could have a material impact on the
profitability of the Company. Also, the terms and conditions of existing or renegotiated agreements could increase costs, or otherwise affect the Companys ability to fully implement operational changes to improve overall efficiency.



The Companys ability to change distribution methods and business
practices could be affected by United States bottler system disputes.



Recent litigation filed by some United States bottlers of Coca-Cola products indicates that disagreements may exist within the Coca-Cola bottler system concerning distribution methods and business practices. Although
the litigation has been dismissed without prejudice, these disagreements among various Coca-Cola bottlers have not been finally resolved and could adversely affect the Companys ability to fully implement its business plans in the future.



Managements use of estimates and assumptions could have a material
effect on reported results.



The Companys
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions by management that impact reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



The Companys Board of Directors has the ability to declare dividends on the
Companys Common Stock without declaring equal or any dividends of the Companys Class B Common Stock.



Under the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends on Common Stock without declaring equal or any
dividends on the Class B Common Stock. However, the holders of the Class B Common Stock control approximately 88% of the total voting power of the common stockholders of the Company and the election of the Board, and the Board has declared and the
Company has paid dividends on Common Stock and Class B Common Stock and each class of common stock has participated equally, on a per share basis, in all dividends declared and paid by the Board since 1994. As such, the Company does not believe the
Board would systematically declare dividends on the Common Stock without declaring dividends on the Class B Common Stock.



The Company has experienced public policy challenges regarding the sale of soft drinks in schools, particularly elementary, middle and high schools.



At December 31, 2006, a number of states had regulations restricting the
sale of soft drinks and other foods in schools. Many of these restrictions have existed for several years in connection with subsidized meal programs in schools. The focus has more recently turned to the growing health, nutrition and obesity
concerns of todays youth. The impact of restrictive legislation, if widely enacted, could have an adverse impact on the Companys products, images and reputation.



The concentration of the Companys capital stock ownership with the Harrison family will limit other stockholders ability to
influence corporate matters.



Members of the Harrison
family, including the Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, J. Frank Harrison, III, beneficially own shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock representing approximately 92% of the total voting power of the Companys
outstanding capital stock. In addition, two members of the Harrison family, including Mr. Harrison, III serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. As a result,

##### Table of Contents

members of the Harrison family have the ability to exert substantial influence or actual control over the Companys management and affairs and over
substantially all matters requiring action by the Companys stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control otherwise favored by the Companys other stockholders and
could depress the stock price.



Additionally, as a result of
the Harrison familys significant beneficial ownership of the Companys outstanding voting stock, the Company has relied on the controlled company exemption from certain corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock
Market, LLC. This concentration of control limits other stockholders ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, the Company may take actions that the Companys stockholders do not view as beneficial.

Item 3.Legal Proceedings



On February 14, 2006, forty-eight Coca-Cola bottler plaintiffs filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri
against The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE). On February 24, 2006, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding twelve bottlers as plaintiffs. In the lawsuit, Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling
Company, et al. vs. The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.,the bottler plaintiffs purport to bring claims for breach of contract and breach of duty and other related claims arising out of CCEs plan to offer warehouse
delivery of POWERade to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. within CCEs territory. The bottler plaintiffs sought preliminary and permanent injunctive relief prohibiting the warehouse delivery of POWERade and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. On
March 17, 2006, the Missouri District Court transferred the case, for the convenience of the parties, to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the District Court).



In April 2006, warehouse delivery of POWERade commenced in the Companys
exclusive bottling territory. On September 5, 2006, the District Court granted the Companys motion to intervene as defendant for



15

##### Table of Contents

the limited purpose of opposing the injunctive relief sought by the bottler plaintiffs. The District Court found that the Company had a legally protectable
interest at stake in the litigation in that the relief requested would preclude the Company from warehouse delivery of POWERade within its exclusive bottling territory.



In February 2007, The Coca-Cola Company, CCE, the Company and many of the plaintiffs entered into a series of agreements
that the Company expects will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the lawsuit and the implementation of a program to test various new route-to-market service systems. The new alternative route-to-market program provides, among other things,
that during the next two years, through December 31, 2008, any Coca-Cola bottler that desires to implement an alternative route-to-market delivery plan shall present the plan for advance discussion and approval by representatives of The
Coca-Cola Company and the Coca-Cola bottling system. The agreements preserve all parties rights, and afford the Coca-Cola bottling system an opportunity to meet to discuss whether the new route-to-market service system should be continued. The
agreements also provide that the lawsuit will be dismissed in the near future.



The Company is involved in various other 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 other claims and legal
proceedings, management believes that 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 other claims and legal proceedings.

TWO-CLASS METHOD FOR NET INCOME PER SHARE



During 2006, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reviewed the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 1, 2006. The review was completed by the SEC in November 2006. The Company considered this review and concluded the application of the two-class method for calculating and presenting net income per share was appropriate for its Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock. In determining the relevance of the two-class method, the Company considered dividend, voting and conversion rights of the Class B Common Stock. These aggregated participation rights along with the Companys
history of paying dividends equally on a per share basis on Common Stock and Class B Common Stock also led the Company to conclude undistributed earnings (net income less dividends) should be allocated equally on a per share basis between Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock. This change had no impact on the income per share amounts previously reported. The Company has applied the two-class method prospectively starting with the third quarter of 2006. See Note 1 and Note 20 of the
consolidated financial statements for additional information about the application of the two-class method.

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. The Companys product offerings include carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, teas, juices, sports drinks and energy products. The Company had net sales of $1.4 billion in 2006.



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



The Companys net sales by product
category were as follows:

AREAS OF EMPHASIS



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



Revenue Management



Revenue management
requires a strategy which reflects consideration for pricing of brands and packages within product categories and channels, as well as highly effective working relationships with customers and disciplined fact-based decision-making. Revenue
management has been and continues to be a key driver which has significant impact on the Companys results of operations.



Product Innovation



Growth of carbonated beverages, other than energy products, has slowed over the past several years. Innovation of both new brands and packages has been
and will continue to be critical to the Companys overall revenue. During 2006, the Company introduced Vault Zero, Tab Energy, Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes and Full Throttle Blue Demon. In 2005, the Company introduced Vault, Coca-Cola Zero,
Dasani flavors and Full



22

##### Table of Contents

Throttle. The Company introduced diet Coke with lime, Coca-Cola C2 and Rockstar in 2004. In addition, the Company has also developed specialty packaging for
customers in certain channels over the past several years.



Distribution Cost Management



Distribution
costs represent the costs of transporting finished goods from Company locations to customer outlets. Total distribution costs amounted to $193.8 million, $183.1 million and $176.3 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Over the past several
years, the Company has focused on converting its distribution system from a conventional routing system to a predictive system. This conversion to a predictive system has allowed the Company to more efficiently handle increasing numbers of brands
and packages. In addition, the Company has closed a number of smaller sales distribution centers reducing its fixed warehouse-related costs.



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



| |  |  | bulk delivery for large supermarkets, mass merchandisers and club stores;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  |  | full service delivery for its full service vending customers.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



In 2006, the Company began changing its delivery method for its pre-sell delivery system. Historically, the Company loaded
its trucks at a warehouse with products the route delivery employee would deliver. The delivery employee was responsible for pulling the required products off a side load truck at each customer location to fill the customers order. The Company
began using a new CooLift® delivery system in 2006
which involves pre-building orders in the warehouse on a small pallet the delivery employee can roll off a truck directly into the customers location. The CooLift® delivery system involves the use of a rear loading truck rather than a conventional side loading truck. The Company
anticipates the implementation of this delivery system will continue over the next several years. This rollout required additional capital spending for the new type of delivery vehicle. Capital spending increased from $40.0 million in 2005 to $63.2
million in 2006 primarily due to the purchase of this new type of delivery vehicle. The Company anticipates that this change in delivery methodology will result in significant savings in future years, more efficient delivery of a greater number of
products and improved employee safety.



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



Productivity



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

OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



The following is a summary of key information concerning the Companys financial results for the three years ended
December 31, 2006.



The comparison of operating results for 2006 and 2005 to operating results for 2004 were affected by the impact of one additional selling week in 2004 due to the Companys fiscal year ending on the Sunday
closest to December 31 of each year. The estimated net sales, gross margin and S,D&A expenses for the additional selling week in 2004 of approximately $23.9 million, $11.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, were included in the
reported results for 2004.

|(1) | Results for 2006 included a favorable adjustment of $4.9 million related to agreements with two state taxing authorities to settle certain prior tax positions resulting in the
reduction of the valuation allowance on related deferred tax assets and the reduction of the liability for uncertain tax positions, which was reflected as a reduction of income tax expense.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Results for 2005 included a favorable adjustment of $7.0 million (pre-tax), or $4.2 million after tax, related to the settlement of high fructose corn syrup litigation, which was
reflected as a reduction in cost of sales.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Results for 2005 included a favorable adjustment of $1.1 million (pre-tax), or $.7 million after tax, related to an adjustment of amounts accrued for certain executive benefits due
to the resignation of an executive, which was reflected as a reduction to S,D&A expenses.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Results for 2005 included financing transaction costs of $1.7 million (pre-tax), or $1.0 million after tax, related to the exchange of $164.8 million of the Companys debt and
the redemption of $8.6 million of debentures, which were reflected in interest expense.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(5) | Results for 2004 included an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $1.7 million (pre-tax), or $1.0 million after tax, related to a change in the pricing of concentrate purchased from
The Coca-Cola Company, which was reflected as an increase to cost of sales.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(6) | Results for 2004 included a favorable adjustment of approximately $2 million (pre-tax), or $1.1 million after tax, for certain customer-related marketing programs between the

|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Companys net sales grew approximately 13% from 2004 to 2006. The net sales increase was primarily due to an increase in average revenue per
bottle/can unit of 4.9%, and an approximately 107%, or $78.6 million, increase in sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers. The increase in sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers related primarily to shipments of Full Throttle, an energy drink of The Coca-Cola
Company.

##### Table of Contents

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



Gross margin increased approximately 4% from 2004 to 2006. The Companys gross margin percentage as a percentage of net sales declined from 47.4% in 2004 to 43.5% in 2006 due to higher raw material costs and an
increase in sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers, which have lower margins than the Companys bottle/can sales. Sales to other Coca-Cola bottlers accounted for 2.1% of the 3.9% decrease in the gross margin percentage. The Companys raw
material packaging costs increased significantly in 2006 and 2005 and the Company increased selling prices to partially offset these increased costs.



S,D&A expenses increased approximately 5% from 2004 to 2006. The increase in S,D&A expenses was primarily attributable to increases in employee
compensation of 9.2%, property and casualty insurance costs of 14.6% and fuel costs of 41.1%. Depreciation expense decreased approximately 8% from 2004 to 2006 due to lower levels of capital spending over the past several years and employee benefit
plan costs decreased by approximately 3% primarily due to the amendment of the principal Company-sponsored pension plan and changes to the Companys postretirement health care plan.



Income from operations was flat from 2004 to 2006 as the increase in gross margin and lower depreciation expense were offset
by higher S,D&A expenses.



Interest expense increased
approximately 14% from 2004 to 2006 despite a reduction in total net debt and capital lease obligations. The increase primarily reflected higher interest rates on the Companys floating rate debt. The Companys overall weighted average
interest rate increased from an average of 5.4% in 2004 to 6.6% in 2006. As of December 31, 2006 and January 2, 2005, approximately 42% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $769.0 million and $789.1 million,
respectively, was maintained on a floating rate basis and was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.



Income tax expense decreased 46% from 2004 to 2006 primarily due to lower taxable income and agreements in 2006 with state taxing authorities which
required a reduction in the valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carryforwards and the liability for uncertain tax positions.



Net debt and capital lease obligations were summarized as follows:



|                                                 |  |               |         |              |   |              |  |   |

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



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 believes the following discussion addresses the Companys most critical accounting policies, which are those most
important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results of operations and require managements most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain.



The Company has not
made changes in any critical accounting policies during 2006. Any significant 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 contemplated and prior to making such change.



Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts



The Company evaluates the collectibility of
its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a customers inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded
which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Companys
recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.



The Companys review of potential bad debts considers the specific industry in which a particular customer operates, such as supermarket retailers,
convenience stores and mass merchandise retailers, and the general economic conditions that currently exist in that specific industry. The Company then considers the effects of concentration of credit risk in a specific industry and for specific
customers within that industry.



Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and
is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Changes in circumstances such as technological advances, changes to the Companys business model or changes in the Companys capital spending strategy
could result in the actual useful lives differing from the Companys current estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of manufacturing equipment, vending equipment, transportation equipment, warehouse facilities or software could
also result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of property, plant and equipment should be shortened, the Company depreciates the net book value in excess of the estimated salvage value over
its revised remaining useful life.



The Company evaluates the
recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying
amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying amounts over the estimated fair value of the
asset or asset group.



Franchise Rights



The Company considers franchise rights with The Coca-Cola Company and other
beverage companies to be indefinite lived because the agreements are perpetual or, in situations where agreements are not perpetual, the Company anticipates the agreements will continue to be renewed upon expiration. The cost of renewals is

minimal and the Company has not had any renewals denied. The Company considers franchise rights as indefinite lived intangible assets under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS No. 142) and therefore, does not amortize the value of such assets. Instead, franchise rights are tested at least annually for
impairment.



Impairment Testing of Franchise Rights and Goodwill



SFAS No. 142 requires testing of intangible
assets with indefinite lives and goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company conducts its annual impairment test in the third quarter of each fiscal year. The Company also reviews intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill for
impairment if there are significant changes in business conditions that could result in impairment.



For the annual impairment analysis of franchise rights, the fair value for the Companys acquired franchise rights is estimated using a multi-period
excess earnings approach. This approach involves projecting future earnings, discounting those estimated earnings using an appropriate discount rate and subtracting a contributory charge for net working capital; property, plant and equipment;
assembled workforce and customer relationships to arrive at excess earnings attributable to franchise rights. The present value of the excess earnings attributable to franchise rights is their estimated fair value and is compared to their carrying
value on an aggregated basis. As a result of this analysis, there was no impairment of the Companys recorded franchise rights in 2006. The projection of earnings includes a number of assumptions such as projected net sales, cost of sales,
operating expenses and income taxes. Changes in the assumptions required to estimate the present value of the excess earnings attributable to franchise rights could materially impact the fair value estimate.



The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit for the Company as
a whole. For the annual impairment analysis of goodwill, the Company develops an estimated fair value for the reporting unit using an average of three different approaches:



| |  |  | market value, using the Companys stock price plus outstanding debt and minority interest;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | discounted cash flow analysis; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization based upon relevant industry data.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to the
Companys carrying amount including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill will be considered not to be impaired and the second step of the SFAS No. 142 impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying
amount including goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any. Based on this analysis, there was no impairment of the Companys recorded goodwill
in 2006. The discounted cash flow analysis includes a number of assumptions such as weighted average cost of capital, projected sales volume, net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses. Changes in these assumptions could materially impact the
fair value estimates.



Income Tax Estimates



The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of
its deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is determined it is more likely than not that such assets will not ultimately be realized. While the Company considers future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance, should the Company determine it will not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance will be charged to
income in the period in which such determination is made. A reduction in the valuation allowance and corresponding adjustment to income may be required if the likelihood of realizing existing deferred tax assets increases to a more likely than not
level. The Company regularly reviews the realizability of deferred tax assets and initiates a review when significant changes in the Companys business occur that could impact the realizability assessment.

##### Table of Contents

In addition to a valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carryforwards, the Company
records liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally related to state income taxes and certain federal income tax positions. These liabilities reflect the Companys best estimate of the ultimate income tax liability based on currently
known facts and information. Material changes in facts or information as well as the expiration of statutes of limitations and/or settlements with individual state or federal jurisdictions may result in material adjustments to these estimates in the
future. The Company recorded adjustments to its valuation allowance and reserve for uncertain tax positions in 2006 as a result of settlements reached with certain states on a basis more favorable than previously estimated.



Risk Management Programs



In general, the Company is self-insured for the costs of workers
compensation, employment practices, vehicle accident claims and medical claims. The Company uses commercial insurance for claims as a risk reduction strategy to minimize catastrophic losses. Losses are accrued using assumptions and procedures
followed in the insurance industry, adjusted for company-specific history and expectations. The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On December 31, 2006, these letters of
credit totaled $22.1 million.



Pension and Postretirement Benefit
Obligations



The Company sponsors pension plans
covering substantially all full-time nonunion employees and certain union employees who meet eligibility requirements. As discussed below, the Company ceased further benefit accruals under the principal Company-sponsored pension plan effective
June 30, 2006. Several statistical and other factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the plans. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate, expected return
on plan assets, employee turnover, age at retirement and rate of future compensation increases as determined by the Company, within certain guidelines. In addition, the Company uses subjective factors such as mortality rates to estimate the
projected benefit obligation. The actuarial assumptions used by the Company may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants.
These differences may result in a significant impact to the amount of net periodic pension cost recorded by the Company in future periods. In 2006, the discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation
for the Companys pension plans did not change from the 5.75% used in 2005. The discount rate assumption is generally the estimate which can have the most significant impact on net periodic pension cost and the projected benefit obligation for
these pension plans. The Company determines an appropriate discount rate annually based on the annual yield on long-term corporate bonds as of the measurement date and reviews the discount rate assumption at the end of each year.



On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an
amendment to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. The annual expense for Company-sponsored pension plans decreased from $11.8 million in 2005 to $8.1 in 2006. The
Company anticipates the annual expense for the Company-sponsored pension plans will decrease to approximately $.2 million in 2007.



A .25% increase or decrease in the discount rate assumption would have impacted the projected benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost of the
Company-sponsored pension plans as follows:



|                                                  |  |               |        |   |               |   |      
|------------------------------------------------- |  | ------------- | ------ | - | ------------- | - | -----
|In Thousands                                      |  | .25% Increase |        |   | .25% Decrease
|(Decrease) increase in:                           |  |               |        |   |               |   |      
|Projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2006 |  | $             | (7,552 | ) |               | $ | 8,051
|Net periodic pension cost in 2006                 |  |               | (1,404 | ) |               |   | 1,490



The weighted average
expected long-term rate of return of plan assets was 8% for 2004, 2005 and 2006. This rate reflects an estimate of long-term future returns for the pension plan assets. This estimate is primarily a

function of the asset classes (equities versus fixed income) in which the pension plan assets are invested and the analysis of past performance of these
asset classes over a long period of time. This analysis includes expected long-term inflation and the risk premiums associated with equity and fixed income investments. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for the details by asset
type of the Companys pension plan assets at December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, and the weighted average expected long-term rate of return of each asset type. The actual return of pension plan assets was 13.0% and 8.3% for 2006
and 2005, respectively.



The Company sponsors a postretirement
health care plan for employees meeting specified qualifying criteria. Several statistical and other factors, which attempt to anticipate future events, are used in calculating the net periodic postretirement benefit cost and postretirement benefit
obligation for this plan. These factors include assumptions about the discount rate and the expected growth rate for the cost of health care benefits. In addition, the Company uses subjective factors such as withdrawal and mortality rates to
estimate the projected liability under this plan. The actuarial assumptions used by the Company may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates or longer or shorter life
spans of participants. The Company does not pre-fund its postretirement benefits and has the right to modify or terminate certain of these benefits in the future.



In October 2005, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health care plan. Due to these changes the
Companys expense and liability related to its postretirement health care plan was reduced. Both the expense and liability for postretirement health care benefits are subject to actuarial determination and include numerous variables that affect
the impact of the changes. The annual expense for the postretirement health care plan decreased from $4.5 million in 2005 to $2.1 million in 2006. The Company anticipates the annual expense for postretirement health care will be approximately the
same in 2007 as in 2006.



The discount rate assumption, the
annual health care cost trend and the ultimate trend rate for health care costs are key estimates which can have a significant impact on the net periodic postretirement benefit cost and postretirement obligation in future periods. The Company
annually determines the health care cost trend based on recent actual medical trend experience and projected experience for subsequent years.



The discount rate assumptions used to determine the pension and postretirement benefit obligations are based on yield rates available on double-A bonds as
of each plans measurement date. The discount rates for 2006 were derived using the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve which is a set of yields on hypothetical double-A zero-coupon bonds with maturities up to 30 years. Projected benefit payouts
from each plan are matched to the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and an equivalent flat discount rate is derived and then rounded to the nearest quarter percent.



A .25% increase or decrease in the discount rate assumption would have impacted the projected benefit obligation and service
cost and interest cost of the Companys postretirement benefit plan as follows:



|                                                       |  |               |      |   |               |   |

|(Decrease) increase in:                                |  |               |      |   |               |   |    
|Postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2006 |  | $             | (913 | ) |               | $ | 953
|Service cost and interest cost in 2006                 |  |               | (86  | ) |               |   | 91 



A 1% increase or
decrease in the annual health care cost trend would have impacted the postretirement benefit obligation and service cost and interest cost of the Companys postretirement benefit plan as follows:



|                                                       |  |             |       |             |   |        |  
|------------------------------------------------------ |  | ----------- | ----- | ----------- | - | ------ | -

|Increase (decrease) in:                                |  |             |       |             |   |        |

New Accounting Pronouncements



Recently Adopted Pronouncements



In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This SFAS required the following for defined pension and other postretirement plans:



| | (1) | Recognition in the statement of financial position of the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | Recognition as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period but are not
recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | Recognition as an adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax of any remaining transition asset or transition obligation.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | Measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position.
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (5) | Disclosure of additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements about certain effects on periodic benefit costs in the upcoming fiscal year that arise
from delayed recognition of the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Statement was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement that the benefit plan assets and obligations
be measured as of the date of the employers statement of financial position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Companys current measurement dates are November 30 (pension) and
September 30 (postretirement). The Company anticipates changing the measurement dates to its fiscal year end date in fiscal 2008. The impact of the adoption of the Statement was to increase the Companys pension and postretirement
liabilities by $4.2 million with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect, of $1.6 million. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.



The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108)
in September 2006. SAB 108 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the process of quantifying the materiality of financial misstatements. SAB 108 requires both the balance sheet and income statement approaches be used when quantifying the
materiality of misstatement amounts. In addition, SAB 108 contains guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach and provides transition guidance for correcting errors existing in prior years. SAB 108 was effective in the Companys
fourth quarter of 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and was effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of 2006 (Q1 2006). This Statement requires public companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. See the Liquidity and Capital Resources
 Financing Activities section of M,D&A for additional information.



Recently Issued Pronouncements



In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. This Statement simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial
instruments, eliminates the interim guidance in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets, and eliminates a restriction of the passive

derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15,
2006. The adoption of this Statement is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This Interpretation clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in
the process of determining the impact of this Interpretation on the consolidated financial statements.



In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. 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 practice in measuring fair
value. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Statement on the consolidated financial statements.

Net Sales



Net sales increased $50.8 million, or approximately 3.7%, to $1.43 billion in 2006 compared to $1.38 billion in 2005.



The increase in net sales was a result of the following:

In 2006, the
Companys bottle/can volume to retail customers accounted for 84% of the Companys total net sales. Bottle/can net pricing is based on the invoice price charged to customers reduced by promotional allowances. Bottle/can net pricing per
unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. To the extent the Company is able to increase volume in higher margin packages sold through higher margin
channels, bottle/can net pricing per unit can increase without an actual increase in wholesale pricing. The increase in the Companys bottle/can net price per unit in 2006 compared to 2005 was primarily due to higher prices for energy products
and sports drinks offset by a decrease in pricing in the supermarket channel in response to competitive pressures and ongoing pricing pressures in the bottled water category. Energy products comprised .7% of the overall bottle/can volume in 2006
compared to .5% in 2005.



Product category sales volume in 2006
and 2005 as a percentage of total bottle/can sales volume and the percentage change by product category was as follows:

The Company introduced
several new products during 2006 including Vault Zero, Tab Energy, Cinnabon Premium Coffee Lattes and Full Throttle Blue Demon.



Product innovation will continue to be an important factor impacting the Companys overall bottle/can revenue in the future. Beginning in 2007, the
Company began distribution of two of its own products, Respect and Tum-E Yummies, in addition to Enviga, a new product from The Coca-Cola Company.



The Companys products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets
such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During 2006, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can sales volume of approximately 32% was
sold for immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 16% of the

Companys total bottle/can sales volume during 2006. The Companys second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 12% of the
Companys total bottle/can sales volume in 2006. All of the Companys sales are to customers in the United States.



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 6.2%, or $47.2 million, to $808.4 million in 2006 compared to $761.2 million in 2005. The increase in cost of sales was
principally attributable to the following:

The Company
anticipates that beginning in 2007, the majority of the Companys aluminum requirements will not have any ceiling price protection. Based upon current market prices for aluminum, the Company anticipates the cost of aluminum cans may increase by
10% to 20% in 2007. High fructose corn syrup costs are also expected to increase significantly in 2007 as a result of increasing demand for corn products around the world and as a result of alternate uses for corn, such as ethanol. Based upon
current market prices for corn, the Company anticipates the costs of high fructose corn syrup will increase by 20% to 35% in 2007. The combined impact of increasing costs for aluminum cans and high fructose corn syrup, assuming flat volume, is
anticipated to range between $24 million and $45 million.



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



Total marketing funding support from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage
companies, which includes direct payments to the Company and payments to customers for marketing programs, was $33.2 million for 2006 compared to $28.9 million for 2005 and was recorded as a reduction in cost of sales.



Gross Margin



Gross margin increased $3.7 million, or .6%, to $622.6 million in 2006 from $618.9 million in 2005. Gross margin as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 43.5% in 2006 from 44.8% in 2005.

The 1.3% decrease in
gross margin as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from higher raw material costs and higher manufacturing costs in 2006 and the high fructose corn syrup litigation proceeds received in 2005.



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



S,D&A Expenses



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



S,D&A expenses increased by $11.5 million, or 2.2%, to $537.4 million in 2006 from $525.9 million in 2005.



The increase 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 $193.8 million and
$183.1 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company charges certain customers a delivery fee to offset a portion of the Companys delivery and handling costs. The Company initiated this delivery fee in October 2005. The delivery fee is
recorded in net sales and was $3.6 million and $.7 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively.



In February 2006, the Company announced an amendment to its principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. Net periodic pension expense
decreased to $8.1 million in 2006 from $11.8 million in 2005. The Company anticipates expense for its pension plans will be approximately $.2 million in 2007. The Company also announced in February 2006 plans to enhance its 401(k) Savings Plan for
eligible employees beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The Company anticipates expense for its 401(k) plan will increase to a range of approximately $8 million to $9 million in 2007 from $4.7 million in 2006.



In October 2005, the Company announced changes to its postretirement health
care plan. Primarily as a result of these changes, the Companys expense for postretirement health care decreased to $2.1 million in 2006 from $4.5 million in 2005. The Company anticipates the annual expense for postretirement health care will
be approximately the same in 2007 as in 2006.



Amortization of
Intangibles



Amortization of intangibles expense for
2006 declined by $.3 million compared to 2005. The decline in amortization expense was due to the impact of certain customer relationships recorded in other identifiable intangible assets which are now fully amortized.



Interest Expense



Interest expense increased 2.0%, or $1.0 million, to $50.3 million in 2006 from $49.3 million in 2005. The change primarily
reflected higher interest rates on the Companys floating rate debt partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in interest earned on short-term cash investments in 2006. Interest expense in 2005 included $1.7 million of financing
transaction costs related to the exchange of $164.8 million of the Companys debt and the redemption of $8.6 million of debentures. Excluding the impact of the $1.7 million financing transaction costs, the Companys overall weighted
average interest rate increased to 6.6% during 2006 from 6.2% during 2005. See the Liquidity and Capital ResourcesInterest Rate Hedging section of M,D&A for additional information.



Minority Interest



The Company recorded minority interest of $3.2 million in 2006 compared to
$4.1 million in 2005 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The decreased amount in 2006 was due to unfavorable changes in operating results at Piedmont.



Income Taxes



The Companys effective income tax rate for 2006 was 25.4% compared to 40.8% in 2005. The deduction for qualified production activities provided
within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 reduced the Companys effective income tax rate by approximately 1% in 2006.

In 2006, the Company reached agreements with two state taxing authorities to settle certain prior tax
positions for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution. As a result, the Company reduced the valuation allowance on related deferred tax assets by $2.6 million and reduced the liability for uncertain tax
positions by $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 (Q4 2006). This $4.9 million adjustment was reflected as a reduction of income tax expense in Q4 2006. Also during Q4 2006, the Company increased the liability for uncertain tax
positions by $.5 million to reflect an interest accrual and an adjustment of the reserve for uncertain tax positions. The net effect of adjustments to the valuation allowance and liability for uncertain tax positions during Q4 2006 was a reduction
in income tax expense of $4.4 million.



During 2005, the
Company entered into a settlement agreement with a state whereby the Company agreed to reduce certain net operating loss carryforwards and to pay certain additional taxes and interest relating to prior years. The loss of state net operating loss
carryforwards, net of federal tax benefit, of $4.4 million did not have an effect on the provision for income taxes due to a valuation allowance previously recorded for such deferred tax assets. Under this settlement, the Company was required to pay
$5.7 million in 2005 and was required to pay an additional $5.0 million by April 15, 2006. The amounts paid in excess of liabilities previously recorded had the effect of increasing income tax expense by approximately $4.1 million in 2005.
Based on an analysis of facts and available information, the Company also made adjustments to liabilities for income tax exposure related to other states in 2005 which had the effect of decreasing income tax expense by $3.8 million in 2005.



During 2005, the Company also entered into settlement
agreements with two other states regarding certain tax years. The effect of these settlements was the reduction of certain state net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect, net of federal tax benefit, of $.6 million, the payment of $1.1
million in previously accrued tax and the reduction of valuation allowances of $1.2 million, net of federal tax benefit, related to net operating loss utilization in these states. The Company recognized in 2005 an increase in the average state
income tax rate which is used in determining the net deferred income tax liability. This increase in the state income tax rate resulted in additional income tax expense in 2005 of $1.6 million.



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



Net Income and Net Income Per Share



The Company reported net income for 2006 of $23.2 million, or $2.55 basic net income per share for both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, compared
with net income for 2005 of $23.0 million, or $2.53 basic net income per share for both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The changes in net income and net income per share were the result of the net effect of changes in gross margin, S,D&A
expenses, amortization of intangibles, interest expense, minority interest and income taxes as previously described.



2005 Compared to 2004



The comparison of operating results for 2005 to operating results for 2004 were affected by
the impact of one additional selling week in 2004 due to the Companys fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31 of each year. The estimated net sales, gross margin and S,D&A expenses for the additional selling week in
2004 of approximately $23.9 million, $11.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, were included in the reported results for 2004.

pricing per unit is impacted by the price charged per package, the volume generated in each package and the channels in which those packages are sold. To the
extent the Company is able to increase volume in higher margin packages that are sold through higher margin channels, bottle/can net pricing per unit can increase without an actual increase in wholesale pricing. In 2005, the increase in the
Companys bottle/can net price per unit was primarily achieved with price increases, but also reflects additional mix benefit associated with new products, including energy products, Vault, Dasani flavors and Coca-Cola Zero.



Product category sales volume in 2005 and 2004 as a percentage of total
bottle/can sales volume and the percentage increase by product category for a comparable period was as follows:

The Companys
noncarbonated beverage portfolio provided strong volume growth in 2005 with Dasani growing 23% and POWERade growing 29%. Newly introduced energy products, including Full Throttle, accounted for .5% of total volume in 2005. Noncarbonated beverages
comprised 12.1% of overall bottle/can volume in 2005 compared to 10.9% in 2004. The Company encountered significant pricing pressure in the supermarket channel for bottled water with average revenue per unit declining by approximately 13% in 2005
compared to 2004.



The Company introduced several new products
during 2005. During the first quarter of 2005, the Company introduced Full Throttle, an energy product. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company introduced Coca-Cola Zero, Dasani flavors and Vault in certain markets. Vault was introduced to
the Companys remaining markets in the fourth quarter of 2005.



The Companys products are sold and distributed through various channels. These channels include selling directly to retail stores and other outlets such as food markets, institutional accounts and vending machine outlets. During 2005,
approximately 67% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume was sold for future consumption. The remaining bottle/can sales volume of approximately 33% was sold for immediate consumption. The Companys largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc., accounted for approximately 15% of the Companys total bottle/can sales volume during 2005. The Companys second largest customer, Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 10% of the Companys total bottle/can sales volume in
2005.



Cost of Sales



Cost of sales increased 14.2%, or $94.7 million, to $761.2 million in 2005
compared to $666.5 million in 2004.



The increase in cost of
sales was principally attributable to the following:

##### Table of Contents

At the beginning of 2004, the Company reclassified
plastic shells, premix tanks and CO2tanks, which totaled $10.4 million, from property, plant and equipment to
inventories. These items were reclassified as the Company believes that they are more closely related to the sale of finished product inventories than to a component of property, plant and equipment. This reclassification had no significant impact
on the Companys overall financial position or results of operations. Costs associated with these items have been reflected in cost of sales beginning in 2004. Previously, costs associated with these items were recorded as depreciation expense.



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 $28.9 million for 2005 versus $39.9 million for 2004 and was recorded as a reduction in cost of sales. Since May 28,
2004, The Coca-Cola Company has provided the majority of the Companys marketing funding support for bottle/can products through a reduction in the price of concentrate. The change in concentrate price represents a significant portion of the
marketing funding support that previously would have been paid to the Company in cash related to the sale of bottle/can products of The Coca-Cola Company. Accordingly, the amounts received in cash from The Coca-Cola Company for marketing funding
support decreased significantly in 2005 as compared to 2004. However, this change in marketing funding support, after taking into account the related reduction in concentrate price, did not have a significant impact on overall results of operations
in 2004 or 2005.



Gross Margin



Gross margin increased $18.2 million, or 3.0%, to $618.9 million in 2005
from $600.7 million in 2004. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased to 44.8% in 2005 from 47.4% in 2004.



The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of the following:

The 2.6% decrease in
gross margins as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from the impact of higher sales to other bottlers, which have lower margins (2.0% of the 2.6% decrease). The remainder of the decrease was due to higher raw material costs (primarily
packaging) offset by the high fructose corn syrup litigation proceeds.



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



S,D&A Expenses



S,D&A expenses increased by $12.7 million, or 2.5%, to $525.9 million in
2005 from $513.2 million in 2004.

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 $183.1 million and $176.3 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company charges certain customers a delivery fee to offset a portion of the Companys delivery and handling
costs. The Company initiated this delivery fee in October 2005. The delivery fee is recorded in net sales and was $.7 million in 2005.



Amortization of Intangibles



Amortization of intangibles expense for 2005 declined by $2.2 million compared to 2004. The decline in amortization expense was due to the impact of
certain customer relationships recorded in other identifiable intangible assets which are now fully amortized.



Interest Expense



Interest expense increased $5.3 million in 2005 compared to 2004. The increase was attributable to financing transaction costs of $1.7 million related to the exchange of $164.8 million of the Companys debt and the early retirement of
$8.6 million of its debentures, and higher interest rates on the Companys floating rate debt, partially offset by interest earned on short-term cash investments of $.5 million. The Companys overall weighted average interest rate,
excluding the financing transaction costs related to the debt exchange and the premium related to the early retirement of debentures, increased from an average of 5.4% during 2004 to 6.2% during 2005.



Minority Interest



The Company recorded minority interest of $4.1 million in 2005 compared to
$3.8 million in 2004 related to the portion of Piedmont owned by The Coca-Cola Company. The increase in 2005 was due to improvements in operating results at Piedmont.



Income Taxes



The Companys effective income tax rate for 2005 was 40.8% compared to 40.2% in 2004. The deduction for qualified production activities provided
within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 reduced the Companys effective income tax rate by approximately 1% in 2005.

Net Income and Net Income Per Share



The Company reported net income for 2005 of $23.0 million, or $2.53 basic net income per share for both Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock, compared with net income for 2004 of $21.8 million, or $2.41 basic net income per share for both Common and Class B Common Stock. The changes in net income and net income per share were the result of the net effect of changes
in gross margin, S,D&A expenses, amortization of intangibles, interest expense, minority interest and income taxes as previously described.



FINANCIAL CONDITION



Total assets increased to $1.36 billion at December 31, 2006 from $1.34 billion at January 1, 2006 primarily due to increases in cash and cash
equivalents and inventories, partially offset by a decrease in property, plant and equipment, net. Property, plant and equipment, net decreased primarily due to lower levels of capital spending over the past several years.



Net working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities,
decreased by $66.4 million from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006.



Significant changes in net working capital from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 were as follows:



| |  |  | An increase in cash and cash equivalents of $22.2 million due to cash flows from operating activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An increase in inventories of $8.8 million due to the addition of new products and increased raw material levels of concentrate and cans.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An increase in current portion of debt of $93.5 million primarily due to reclassification from long-term to current of $100 million in debentures due in November
2007.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An increase in accounts payable, trade of $8.7 million primarily due to increased inventories.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An increase in accounts payable to The Coca-Cola Company of $6.2 million primarily due to timing of payments.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Debt and capital lease obligations were $769.0 million as of
December 31, 2006 compared to $777.2 million as of January 1, 2006. Debt and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006 included $77.5 million and $79.2 million, respectively, of capital lease
obligations related primarily to Company facilities.



The
Company recorded a minimum pension liability adjustment of $4.3 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2006 to reflect the difference between the fair market value of the Companys pension plan assets and the accumulated benefit obligation
of the pension plans. The Company recorded an adjustment to decrease the minimum pension liability of $5.4 million, net of tax, as of December 31, 2006 as a result of the plan curtailment discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial
statements. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS No. 158), at the end of
2006. Pension and postretirement liabilities were adjusted to reflect the excess of the projected benefit obligation (pension) and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (postretirement medical) over available plan assets. The total SFAS
No. 158 adjustment to increase benefit liabilities was $2.6 million, net of tax, with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss. Contributions to the Companys pension plans were $.5 million in 2006 and $8.0 million in 2005.
The Company anticipates there will be no contributions to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan in 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Capital Resources



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



As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $100 million available under its revolving credit facility to meet its cash requirements. The Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These lines
of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at December 31, 2006, are made available at the discretion of two participating banks at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks.



The Company currently plans to use cash on hand and its revolving credit
facility to repay or refinance the $100 million maturity of debentures in November 2007.



The Company has obtained all of its long-term debt financing other than capital leases from the public markets. As of December 31, 2006, $691.5 million of the Companys total outstanding balance of debt and
capital lease obligations of $769.0 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $77.5 million as of December 31, 2006. The Companys interest rate derivative contracts are with several
different financial institutions to minimize the concentration of credit risk. The Company has master agreements with the counterparties to its derivative financial agreements that provide for net settlement of derivative transactions.



On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a new $200 million
revolving credit facility, replacing its $100 million facility. The new 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 facility bears interest at a
floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%. In addition, there is a fee of .10% required for this facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid
based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The facility contains similar financial covenants as the previous $100 million facility. The two financial covenants are related to ratio requirements for interest coverage and
long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit agreement.



Cash Sources and Uses

source of cash for the Company has been cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash in 2006 have been for capital expenditures, the repayment of debt maturities and capital lease obligations, income tax payments and dividends.

Based on current
projections, which include a number of assumptions such as the Companys pre-tax earnings, the Company anticipates its cash requirements for income taxes will be between $15 million and $20 million in 2007. The cash requirement for income
taxes in 2006 included $5 million related to the settlement of a state tax audit accrued in 2005.



Investing Activities



Additions to property, plant and equipment during 2006 were $63.2 million compared to $40.0 million in 2005. Capital expenditures during 2006 were funded with cash flows from operations. The increase in capital expenditures in 2006 was
primarily due to the purchase of new route delivery vehicles and costs associated with the Companys ongoing implementation of its ERP computer system. Leasing is used for certain capital additions when considered cost effective relative to
other sources of capital. The Company currently leases its corporate headquarters, two production facilities and several sales distribution facilities and administrative facilities.



The Company anticipates that additions to property, plant and equipment in 2007 will be in the range of $40 million to
$50 million and plans to fund such additions through cash flows from operations and its available lines of credit.



Financing Activities



In December 2005, the Company repurchased $8.6 million of its outstanding 6.375% debentures due May 2009. The Company used cash on hand to retire these
debentures.



In June 2005, the Company issued $164.8 million of
new 5.00% senior notes due 2016 in exchange for $122.2 million of its outstanding 6.375% debentures due 2009 and $42.6 million of its outstanding 7.20% debentures due 2009. The exchange of debt lengthened maturities on portions of the Companys
debt, and reduced refinancing requirements in the near-term by extending the maturity dates on a portion of its total debt.



The Company has a five-year $100 million revolving credit facility. On December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under the facility. The
facility matures in April 2010 and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The facility bears interest at a floating base

rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .375%. In addition, there is a facility fee of .125% required for this facility. Both the
interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The facility contains two financial covenants related to ratio requirements for interest
coverage and long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit agreement. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources.



The Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These
lines of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at December 31, 2006, are made available at the discretion of the two participating banks at rates negotiated at the time of borrowing and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks. The
Company can utilize its revolving credit facility in the event the lines of credit are not available. On December 31, 2006, there was no amount outstanding under the lines of credit. On January 1, 2006, $6.5 million was outstanding under
the lines of credit.



In January 1999, the Company filed a
shelf registration for up to $800 million of debt and equity securities. The Company has issued $500 million of debt under this shelf registration. The Company currently has up to $300 million available for use under this shelf registration which,
subject to the Companys ability to consummate a transaction on acceptable terms, could be used for long-term financing or refinancing of debt maturities.



The Company currently provides financing for Piedmont under the terms of an agreement that expires on December 31, 2010. Piedmont pays the Company
interest on its borrowings at the Companys average cost of funds plus .50%. The loan balance at December 31, 2006 was $89.5 million and was eliminated in consolidation.



All of the outstanding debt has been issued by the Company with none having been issued by any of the Companys
subsidiaries. There are no guarantees of the Companys debt. The Company or its subsidiaries have entered into four capital leases.



At December 31, 2006, the Companys credit ratings were as follows:



|                  |  |               
|----------------- |  | --------------
|                  |  | Long-Term Debt
|Standard & Poors |  | BBB           
|Moodys           |  | Baa2          



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



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



The Company issued 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to J. Frank Harrison, III, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, with
respect to 2005, effective January 2, 2006, under a restricted stock award plan that provides for annual awards of such shares subject to the Company achieving at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Companys Annual
Bonus Plan.



The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment on January 2, 2006. The Company applied the modified prospective transition method and prior periods were not restated. The Companys only share based compensation is the restricted stock award to
Mr. Harrison, III. The award provides the shares of restricted stock vest at the rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The vesting of each annual installment is contingent upon the Company achieving at least 80% of the overall
goal achievement factor

in the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. Each annual 20,000 share tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the
Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved for each year. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service period.



The Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance
requirement for the restricted stock award in 2006, were approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2006 and the Company recorded the 20,000 share award at the grant-date price of $46.45 per share. Total stock compensation expense
was $929,000 over the one-year service period (fiscal 2006) as the Company achieved at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. In addition, the Company reimburses Mr. Harrison, III for income
taxes to be paid on the shares if the performance requirement is met and the shares are issued. The Company accrues the estimated cost of the income tax reimbursement over the one-year service period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123, the
Company accrued compensation expense over the course of the one-year service period with the full year expense based upon the end of the period stock price.



The following table illustrates the effect on reported net income and earnings per share for 2005 and 2004 had the Company accounted for the stock grant
using the fair value method in SFAS No. 123:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



The Company is a member of two manufacturing
cooperatives that are variable interest entities. The Company has guaranteed $42.9 million of debt and related lease obligations for these cooperatives. As of December 31, 2006, the Companys variable interest in these cooperatives
includes an equity ownership in each of the entities and the guarantees. As of December 31, 2006, the Companys maximum exposure, if the cooperatives borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, would have been $65.8 million including the
Companys equity interest. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of either of the cooperatives. See Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information about these cooperatives.

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



The Company has $22.1 million of standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs, as of December 31,
2006. See Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to commercial commitments, guarantees, legal and tax matters.



The Company anticipates there will be no contributions to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan in 2007. Postretirement medical care payments are
expected to be approximately $2.7 million in 2007. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to pension and postretirement obligations.



Interest Rate Hedging



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 Companys debt level and the potential impact of changes in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are
performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments.

##### Table of Contents

The Company currently has nine interest rate swap agreements. Three of the nine interest rate swap
agreements totaling $75 million were entered into in January 2007. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert $325 million of the Companys debt from a fixed rate to a floating rate and are accounted for as fair value hedges.



During 2006, 2005 and 2004, interest expense was reduced by
$1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, due to amortization of the deferred gains on previously terminated interest rate swap agreements and forward interest rate agreements. Interest expense will be reduced by the amortization of
these deferred gains in 2007 through 2011 as follows: $1.7 million, $1.7 million, $.9 million, $.3 million and $.3 million, respectively.



The weighted average interest rate of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations after taking into account all of the interest rate hedging
activities was 6.9% as of December 31, 2006 compared to 6.2% as of January 1, 2006. The Companys overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations, excluding the financing transaction costs related to
the debt exchange and early debt retirement in 2005, increased to 6.6% in 2006 from 6.2% in 2005. Including the $1.7 million of financing transaction costs related to the Companys debt exchange and early debt retirement, the overall weighted
average interest rate in 2005 was 6.4%. Approximately 42% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $769.0 million as of December 31, 2006 was maintained on a floating rate basis and was subject to changes in short-term
interest rates. During January 2007, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements totaling $75 million which effectively converted fixed rate debt to floating rates. Additionally, a floating rate capital lease of $30.7
million was modified on a fixed rate basis. After giving effect for the additional interest rate swap agreements of $75 million and the modification of a floating rate capital lease to a fixed rate basis, approximately 48% of the Companys debt
and capital lease obligations would have been subject to changes in short-term interest rates.



Assuming no changes in the Companys capital structure, if market interest rates average 1% more in 2007 than the interest rates as of December 31, 2006, interest expense for 2007 would increase by
approximately $3.2 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 December 31, 2006, including the effects of the
Companys derivative financial instruments. This calculated, hypothetical increase in interest expense for the following twelve months may be different from the actual increase in interest expense from a 1% increase in interest rates due to
varying interest rate reset dates on the Companys floating rate debt and derivative financial instruments.

Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on the Companys
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.



Item 7A.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 Companys 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

##### Table of Contents

altered its fixed/floating rate mix based upon anticipated cash flows from operations relative to the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity
analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The 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 42% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $769.0 million as of December 31, 2006 was
subject to changes in short-term interest rates.



As it relates
to the Companys variable rate debt and variable rate leases, assuming no changes in the Companys financial structure, if market interest rates average 1% more in 2007 than the interest rates as of December 31, 2006, interest expense
for 2007 would increase by approximately $3.2 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 Companys floating rate debt and derivative financial instruments.



Raw Material and Commodity Price Risk



The Company anticipates that, beginning in 2007 the majority of the Companys aluminum requirements will not have any ceiling price protection. Based upon current market prices for aluminum, the Company
anticipates the cost of aluminum cans may increase from 10% to 20% in 2007. High fructose corn syrup costs are also expected to increase significantly in 2007 as a result of increasing demand for corn products around the world and as a result of
alternative uses for corn, such as ethanol. Based upon current market prices for corn, the Company anticipates the cost of high fructose corn syrup will increase from 20% to 35% in 2007. The combined impact of increasing costs for aluminum cans and
high fructose corn syrup, assuming flat volume, is anticipated to range between $24 million and $45 million.



The Company is also subject to commodity price risk arising from price movements for certain other commodities included as part of its raw materials. In
addition, there is no limit on the price The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies can charge for concentrate. 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.



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



Effect of Changing Prices



The principal effect of inflation on the Companys operating results is
to increase costs. Subject to normal competitive market conditions, the Company believes it has the ability to raise selling prices to offset these cost increases over time.

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.Significant Accounting Policies



Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the Company) is engaged in
the production, marketing and distribution of nonalcoholic beverages, primarily products of The Coca-Cola Company. The Company operates in portions of 11 states, principally in the southeastern region of the United States.



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.



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 fiscal years presented are the 52-week periods ended December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006 and the 53-week period ended January 2, 2005. The Companys fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 of
each year.



Certain prior year amounts reported in the
Companys consolidated statements of operations have been conformed to current year classifications. In prior periods, the Company reported depreciation expense separately in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company began
reporting depreciation expense in cost of sales and selling, delivery and administrative (S,D,&A) expenses in the first quarter of 2006. The Companys results of operations for 2005 and 2004 have been conformed to the 2006
presentation. Depreciation expense in cost of sales was $9.0 million, $8.8 million and $7.1 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Depreciation expense in S,D&A expenses was $58.3 million, $59.4 million and $63.7 million in 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.



The Companys significant accounting
policies are as follows:



Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in
banks and cash equivalents, which are highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of less than 90 days. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company periodically
assesses the financial condition of the institutions and believes that the risk of any loss is minimal.



Credit Risk of Trade Accounts Receivable



The Company sells its products to supermarkets, convenience stores and other customers and extends credit, generally without requiring collateral, based
on an ongoing evaluation of the customers business prospects and financial condition. The Companys trade accounts receivable are typically collected within approximately 30 days from the date of sale. The Company monitors its
exposure to losses on trade accounts receivable and maintains an allowance for potential losses or adjustments. Past due trade accounts receivable balances are written off when the Companys collection efforts have been unsuccessful in
collecting the amount due.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on
the first-in, first-out method for finished products and manufacturing materials and on the average cost method for plastic shells, plastic pallets and other inventories.

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements on operating leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, including renewal options the Company determines are reasonably assured. Additions and major
replacements or betterments are added to the assets at cost. Maintenance and repair costs and minor replacements are charged to expense when incurred. When assets are replaced or otherwise disposed, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and the gains or losses, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations. Gains or losses on the disposal of manufacturing equipment and manufacturing facilities are included in cost of sales. Gains or losses on the disposal
of all other property, plant and equipment are included in S,D&A expenses. Disposals of property, plant and equipment generally occur when it is not cost effective to repair an asset.



The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment when events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the expected undiscounted future cash flows of
the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the excess of the carrying amounts over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.



Leased Property Under Capital Leases



Leased property under capital leases is depreciated using the straight-line method over the lease term.



Internal Use Software



The Company capitalizes costs incurred in the development or acquisition of
internal use software. The Company expenses costs incurred in the preliminary project planning stage. Costs, such as maintenance and training, are also expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the
straight-line method. Amortization expense, which is included in depreciation expense, for internal-use software was $5.1 million, $4.7 million and $4.7 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Franchise Rights and Goodwill



Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142), all business combinations are accounted for using
the purchase method and goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but instead are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired. The only
intangible assets the Company classifies as indefinite lived are franchise rights and goodwill. The Company performs its annual impairment test in the third quarter of each year.



For the annual impairment analysis of franchise rights, the fair value of the Companys acquired franchise rights is
estimated using a multi-period excess earnings approach. This approach involves a projection of future earnings, discounting those estimated earnings using an appropriate discount rate, and subtracting a contributory charge for net working capital;
property, plant and equipment; assembled workforce and customer relationships to arrive at excess earnings attributable to franchise rights. The present value of the excess earnings attributable to franchise rights is their estimated fair value and
is compared to the carrying value.

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit for the Company as a whole. For the annual
impairment analysis of goodwill, the Company develops an estimated fair value for the reporting unit using an average of three different approaches:



| |  |  | Market value, using the Companys stock price plus outstanding debt and minority interest;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Discounted cash flow analysis; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization based upon relevant industry data.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is then compared to the
Companys carrying amount including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. If the carrying amount including goodwill
exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of the impairment, if any.



Other Identifiable Intangible Assets



Other identifiable intangible assets primarily represent customer relationships and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives.



Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans



The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering
substantially all nonunion employees and one noncontributory pension plan covering certain union employees. Costs of the plans are charged to current operations and consist of several components of net periodic pension cost based on various
actuarial assumptions regarding future experience of the plans. In addition, certain other union employees are covered by plans provided by their respective union organizations and the Company expenses amounts as paid in accordance with union
agreements. The Company recognizes the cost of postretirement benefits, which consist principally of medical benefits, during employees periods of active service.



The discount rate assumptions used to determine the pension and postretirement benefit obligations are based on yield rates
available on double-A bonds as of each plans measurement date.



Amounts recorded for benefit plans reflect estimates related to future interest rates, investment returns, employee turnover, wage increases and health care costs. The Company reviews all assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis.



The Company records an additional minimum pension liability
adjustment, when necessary, for the amount of underfunded accumulated pension obligations in excess of accrued pension costs. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, at the end of 2006 (SFAS No. 158). Liabilities for pension and postretirement liabilities were adjusted to reflect the excess of the projected benefit obligation
(pension) and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (postretirement medical) over available plan assets.



On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the pension plan covering substantially all nonunion employees
to cease further accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. The plan amendment was accounted for as a plan curtailment under SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined
Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits (as amended). The



58

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



curtailment resulted in a reduction of the Companys projected benefit obligation which was offset against the Companys unrecognized net loss.



See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for
additional information on the pension curtailment and the effects of adopting SFAS No. 158.



Income Taxes



Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as well as differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.



A valuation allowance will be provided against deferred tax assets if the Company determines it is more likely than not, such assets will not ultimately
be realized. In addition, the Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally related to state income taxes and certain federal income tax attributes. These liabilities reflect the Companys best estimate of the ultimate
income tax liabilities based on currently known facts and information. Material changes in facts and information as well as the expiration of statutes and/or settlements with the individual state or federal jurisdictions could result in material
adjustments to these estimates in the future.



Revenue
Recognition



Revenues are recognized when finished
products are delivered to customers and both title and the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred and, in the case of full service vending, when cash is collected from the vending machines. Appropriate provision is made for uncollectible
accounts.



The Company receives service fees from The Coca-Cola
Company related to the delivery of fountain syrup products to The Coca-Cola Companys fountain customers. In addition, the Company receives service fees from The Coca-Cola Company related to the repair of fountain equipment owned by The
Coca-Cola Company. The fees received from The Coca-Cola Company for the delivery of fountain syrup products to their customers and the repair of their fountain equipment are recognized as revenue when the respective services are completed.



Marketing Programs and Sales Incentives



The Company participates in various marketing and sales programs and
arrangements with customers to increase the sale of its products by its customers. Among the programs negotiated with customers are arrangements under which allowances can be earned for attaining agreed-upon sales levels and/or for participating in
specific marketing programs. Coupon programs are also developed on a territory-specific basis. The cost of these various marketing programs and sales incentives, included as deductions to net sales, totaled $47.2 million, $45.7 million and $40.0
million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Marketing
Funding Support



The Company receives marketing funding
support payments in cash from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies. Payments to the Company for marketing programs to promote the sale of bottle/can

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



volume and fountain syrup volume are recognized in earnings primarily on a per unit basis over the year as product is sold. Payments for periodic programs
are recognized in the periods for which they are earned.



Under
the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-16 Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor, cash consideration received by a customer from a vendor is presumed to be
a reduction of the prices of the vendors products or services and are, therefore, to be accounted for as a reduction of cost of sales in the statements of operations unless those payments are specific reimbursements of costs or payments for
services. Payments the Company receives from The Coca-Cola Company and other beverage companies for marketing funding support are classified as reductions of cost of sales.



Derivative Financial Instruments



The Company records all derivative instruments in the financial statements at fair value.



The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
movements in interest rates and fuel prices. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intent to reduce the risk to the Company. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does
it use leveraged financial instruments. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is considered minimal and is managed by requiring high credit standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements.



Interest Rate Hedges



The Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments. The
Company has standardized procedures for evaluating the accounting for financial instruments. These procedures include:



| |  |  | Identifying and matching of the hedging instrument and the hedged item to ensure that significant features coincide such as maturity dates and interest reset dates;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Identifying the nature of the risk being hedged and the Companys intent for undertaking the hedge;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Assessing the hedging instruments effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged items fair value or variability to cash flows
attributable to the hedged risk;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Assessing evidence that, at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, it is expected that the hedging relationship will be highly effective in achieving
an offsetting change in the fair value or cash flows that are attributable to the hedged risk; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintaining a process for assessment of ongoing hedge effectiveness.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



To the extent the interest rate agreements meet the specified criteria; they are accounted for as either fair value or cash
flow hedges. Changes in the fair values of designated and qualifying fair value hedges are recognized in earnings as offsets to changes in the fair value of the related hedged liabilities. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments
are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified to earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods the forecasted payments affect earnings. Ineffectiveness of a cash flow hedge, defined as
the amount by which the change in the value of the hedge does not exactly offset the change in the value of the hedged item, is reflected in current results of operations.



The Company evaluates its mix of fixed and floating rate debt on an ongoing basis. Periodically, the Company may terminate
an interest rate derivative when the underlying debt remains outstanding in order to



60

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



achieve its desired fixed/floating rate mix. Upon termination of an interest rate derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge, amounts reflected in
accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings consistent with the variability of the cash flows previously hedged, which is generally over the life of the related debt that was hedged. Upon termination of an interest rate
derivative accounted for as a fair value hedge, the value of the hedge as recorded on the Companys balance sheet is eliminated against either the cash received or cash paid for settlement and the fair value adjustment of the related debt is
amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the debt instrument as an adjustment to interest expense.



Interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge the variability of cash flows related to a specific component of the
Companys long-term debt. Interest rate derivatives designated as fair value hedges are used to hedge the fair value of a specific component of the Companys long-term debt. If the hedged component of long-term debt is repaid or
refinanced, the Company generally terminates the related hedge due to the fact the forecasted schedule of payments will not occur or the changes in fair value of the hedged debt will not occur and the derivative will no longer qualify as a hedge.
Any gain or loss on the termination of an interest rate derivative related to the repayment or refinancing of long-term debt is recognized currently in the Companys statement of operations as an adjustment to interest expense. In the event a
derivative previously accounted for as a hedge was retained and did not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value would be recognized in the statement of operations currently as an adjustment to interest expense.



Fuel Hedges



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



Risk Management Programs



In general, the Company is self-insured for the costs of workers compensation, employment practices, vehicle accident claims and medical claims. The
Company uses commercial insurance for claims as a risk reduction strategy to minimize catastrophic losses. Losses are provided for using assumptions and procedures followed in the insurance industry, adjusted for company-specific history and
expectations.



Cost of Sales



The following expenses are included in cost of sales: 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.



Selling, Delivery and Administrative Expenses



The following expenses are included in S,D&A
expenses: 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



expenses, vending equipment repair costs and administrative support labor and operating costs such as treasury, legal, information services, accounting,
internal audit, human resources and executive management costs.



Shipping and Handling Costs



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 were $193.8 million, $183.1 million and $176.3 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.



Certain customers pay the Company separately for shipping and handling costs. Beginning in October 2005, certain customers have been billed a delivery
fee. The delivery fee revenue is recorded in net sales and was $3.6 million and $.7 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively.



Compensation Cost for Unvested/Restricted Stock with Contingent Vesting



The Company has a restricted stock plan for the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer. The plan initially included 200,000 shares of the Companys Class B Common Stock, which are issued in the amount of 20,000 shares per year, contingent upon the achievement of 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Annual
Bonus Plan.



The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), on January 2, 2006. The Company applied the modified prospective transition method and prior periods were not restated. The Companys only share based compensation is the
restricted stock award to the Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer as described above. Each annual 20,000 share tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the
Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Companys Board of Directors. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service
period. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period (one fiscal year) based on the Companys stock price at the measurement date (date approved by the Board of Directors), unless the achievement of the
performance requirement for the fiscal year is considered unlikely. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.



Net Income Per Share



During 2006, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commision reviewed the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2006. The Company considered this review and concluded the application of the two-class method for calculating and presenting net income per share was appropriate for its Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock.



As noted in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share
(as amended), the two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under
that method:



| | (a) | Income from continuing operations (or net income) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of
dividends that must be paid for the current period.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | The remaining earnings, or undistributed earnings, are allocated to Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to the extent that each security may share in
earnings as if all of the earnings for the
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



62

COCA-COLA BOTTLING CO. CONSOLIDATED



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



| | period had been distributed. The total earnings allocated to each security is determined by adding together the amount allocated for dividends and the amount
allocated for a participation feature.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | The total earnings allocated to each security is then divided by the number of outstanding shares of the security to which the earnings are allocated to determine the earnings per
share for the security.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Basic and diluted EPS data are presented for each class of common stock.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



In applying the two-class method, the Company determined that undistributed earnings should be allocated equally on a per share basis between the Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock due to the aggregate participation rights of the Class B Common Stock (i.e., the voting and conversion rights) and the Companys history of paying dividends equally on a per share basis on the Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock.



Under the Companys Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors may declare dividends on Common Stock without declaring equal or any dividends on the Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding, Class B Common Stock has voting and conversion rights that allow the Class B
stockholders to participate equally on a per share basis with Common Stock.



The Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share and the Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share with respect to each matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company. With the exception of
any matter required by law, the holders of the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to the Companys stockholders, including the election of the Board of Directors. As a result of this
voting structure, the holders of the Class B Common Stock control approximately 88% of the total voting power of the stockholders of the Company and control the election of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has declared and the Company
has paid dividends on the Class B Common Stock and Common Stock and each class of common stock has participated equally in all dividends declared by the Board of Directors and paid by the Company since 1994.



The Class B Common Stock conversion rights allow the Class B Common Stock to
participate in dividends equally with the Common Stock. The Class B Common Stock is convertible into Common Stock on a one-for-one per share basis at any time at the option of the holder (i.e., via an action within the holders control).
Accordingly, the holders of the Class B Common Stock can participate equally in any dividends declared on the Common Stock by exercising their conversion rights.



As a result of the Class B Common Stocks aggregated participation rights, the Company determined that undistributed
earnings should be allocated equally on a per share basis to the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock under the two-class method.



The Company further concluded the application of the two-class method to its net income per share calculation for the fiscal years ended January 1,
2006 (fiscal 2005) and January 2, 2005 (fiscal 2004) would not have materially impacted the financial statements for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004. For example, the Company reported basic and diluted net income per share
for fiscal 2005 of $2.53. Under the two-class method, the Company would have reported basic and diluted net income per share for fiscal 2005 as follows: Common StockBasic $2.53; Class B Common StockBasic $2.53; Common StockDiluted
$2.53; and Class B Common StockDiluted $2.53. Therefore, the Company began presenting the application of the two-class method prospectively in the quarter ended October 1, 2006.



Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes potential common shares
that were dilutive and is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common and

Class B Common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS for Common Stock and Class B Common Stock gives effect to all securities representing potential common
shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period.

The Company has obtained all of its long-term debt financing other than capital leases from the
public markets. As of December 31, 2006, $691.5 million of the Companys total outstanding debt and capital lease obligations of $769.0 million was financed through publicly offered debt. The Company had capital lease obligations of $77.5
million as of December 31, 2006.



In December 2005, the
Company repurchased $8.6 million of its outstanding 6.375% debentures due May 2009. The premium and associated transaction fees totaling $.4 million were included in interest expense in 2005.



In June 2005, the Company issued $164.8 million of 5.00% senior notes due
2016 in exchange for $122.2 million of its outstanding 6.375% debentures due 2009 and $42.6 million of its outstanding 7.20% debentures due 2009. The exchange was conducted as a private placement to holders of the existing debentures that were
qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. As part of the exchange, the Company paid a premium of $15.6 million to holders participating in the exchange. The transaction was accounted
for as an exchange of debt, and the $15.6 million premium is being amortized over the life of the new notes. The Company incurred financing transaction costs of $1.3 million related to the exchange of debt which were included in interest expense
during 2005. In August 2005, the Company successfully completed a registered exchange offer in which all of the previously issued private notes were exchanged for substantially identical registered notes.



On April 7, 2005, the Company entered into a new five-year $100 million
revolving credit facility replacing the previous $125 million facility that was scheduled to expire in December 2005. On December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under this $100 million facility. The $100 million facility matures in
April 2010 and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks and bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .375%. In addition, there
is a facility fee of .125% required for this $100 million facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured noncredit-enhanced debt
rating. The Companys $100 million facility contains two financial covenants related to ratio requirements for interest coverage and long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit agreement. These covenants do not currently, and the
Company does not anticipate that they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources.



The Company borrows periodically under its available lines of credit. These lines of credit, in the aggregate amount of $60 million at December 31, 2006, are made available at the discretion of the two
participating banks and may be withdrawn at any time by such banks. The Company intends to renew the lines of credit as they mature. On December 31, 2006, there was no amount outstanding under the lines of credit. On January 1, 2006,
amounts outstanding under the lines of credit were $6.5 million. The weighted average interest rate on the lines of credit was 4.77% as of January 1, 2006.



The Company currently provides financing for Piedmont under an agreement that expires on December 31, 2010. Piedmont pays the Company interest on
its borrowings at the Companys average cost of funds plus 0.50%. The loan balance at December 31, 2006 was $89.5 million and was eliminated in consolidation.



The Company filed an $800 million shelf registration for debt and equity securities in January 1999. The Company used this
shelf registration to issue long-term debt of $250 million in 1999, $150 million in 2002 and $100 million in 2003. The Company currently has up to $300 million available for use under this shelf registration which, subject to the Companys
ability to consummate a transaction on acceptable terms, could be used for long-term financing or refinancing of debt maturities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



After taking into account all of the interest rate hedging activities, the Company had a weighted
average interest rate of 6.9% and 6.2% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively. The Companys overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease
obligations was 6.6%, 6.4% and 5.4% for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Excluding the $1.7 million of financing transaction costs related to the Companys debt exchange in June 2005 and the early retirement of debt in December 2005, the
overall weighted average interest rate for 2005 was 6.2%. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 42% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations of $769.0 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.



During January 2007, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap
agreements totaling $75 million which effectively converted fixed rate debt to floating rates. Additionally, a floating rate capital lease of $30.7 million was modified on a fixed rate basis. After giving effect for the additional interest rate
swap agreements of $75 million and the modification of a floating rate capital lease to a fixed rate basis, approximately 48% of the Companys debt and capital lease obligations would have been subject to changes in short-term interest rates.



The Company currently plans to use cash on hand and its
revolving credit facility to repay or refinance the $100 million maturity of Company debentures in November 2007.



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



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



10.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 Companys debt level and the potential impact of changes
in interest rates on the Companys overall financial condition. Sensitivity analyses are performed to review the impact on the Companys financial position and coverage of various interest rate movements. The Company does not use
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it use leveraged financial instruments. All of the Companys interest rate swap agreements are LIBOR-based.



Derivative financial instruments were summarized as follows:

The Company had six interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2006 with varying terms
that effectively converted $250 million of the Companys fixed rate debt portfolio to a floating rate. All of the interest rate swap agreements have been accounted for as fair value hedges.



In January 2007, the Company entered into three new interest rate swap
agreements converting $75 million of the Companys fixed rate debt portfolio to a floating rate. The new swap agreements have been accounted for as fair value hedges.



During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company amortized deferred gains related to previously terminated interest rate swap
agreements and forward interest rate agreements, which reduced interest expense by $1.7 million, $1.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Interest expense will be reduced by the amortization of these deferred gains in 2007 through 2011 as
follows: $1.7 million, $1.7 million, $.9 million, $.3 million and $.3 million, respectively.



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 derivative transactions.



11.Fair Values of Financial Instruments



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



Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable



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



Public Debt Securities



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



Non-Public Variable Rate
Debt



The carrying amounts of the Companys variable
rate borrowings approximate their fair values.



Non-Public
Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt



The fair values of the
Companys other notes payable are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Companys current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.



Derivative Financial Instruments



The fair values for the Companys interest rate swap agreements are based on current settlement values.

Letters of Credit



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



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

The accruals for
executive benefit plans relate to three benefit programs for eligible executives of the Company. These benefit programs are the Supplemental Savings Incentive Plan (Supplemental Savings Plan), the Officer Retention Plan (Retention
Plan) and a replacement benefit plan.



Pursuant to the
Supplemental Savings Plan, as amended effective January 1, 2005, eligible participants may elect to defer a portion of their annual salary and bonus. Prior to 2006, the Company matched 30% of the first 6% of salary (excluding bonuses) deferred
by the participant. Participants are immediately vested in all deferred contributions they make and become fully vested in Company contributions upon completion of five years of service, termination of employment due to death, retirement or a change
in control. Participant deferrals and Company contributions made in years prior to 2006 are deemed invested in either a fixed benefit option or certain investment funds specified by the Company. Beginning in 2006, the Company matches 50% of the
first 6% of salary (excluding bonuses) deferred by the participant. The Company will also make additional contributions during 2006, 2007 and 2008 ranging from 10% to 40% of a participants annual salary (excluding bonuses), with contributions
above the 10% level depending on the attainment by the Company of certain annual performance objectives. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to participants accounts. The

long-term liability under this plan was $46.3 million and $40.3 million as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively.



Under the Retention Plan, as amended effective January 1, 2005, eligible
participants may elect to receive an annuity payable in equal monthly installments over a 10, 15 or 20-year period commencing at retirement or, in certain instances, upon termination of employment. The benefits under the Retention Plan increase with
each year of participation as set forth in an agreement between the participant and the Company. Benefits under the Retention Plan are 50% vested until age 50. After age 50, the vesting percentage increases by an additional 5% each year until the
benefits are fully vested at age 60. The long-term liability under this plan was $22.3 million and $20.4 million as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively.



In conjunction with the elimination in 2003 of a split-dollar life insurance benefit for officers of the Company, a
replacement benefit plan was established. The replacement benefit plan provides a supplemental benefit to eligible participants that increases with each additional year of service and is comparable to benefits provided to eligible participants
previously through certain split-dollar life insurance agreements. Upon separation from the Company, participants receive an annuity payable in up to ten annual installments or a lump sum. In 2005, participants were provided a one-time option to
terminate their agreements under this plan and receive all of their accrued benefit in cash. A number of participants elected this option. Accordingly, the Company paid $1.6 million to participants under this one-time option in July 2005. The
long-term liability was $1.0 million under this plan as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006.

Future minimum lease
payments for noncancellable operating and capital leases in the preceding table include renewal options the Company has determined to be reasonably assured.



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 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning SAC and Southeastern.



The Company guarantees a portion of SACs and Southeasterns debt
and lease obligations. The amounts guaranteed were $42.9 million as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with these guarantees. The Company holds no assets as collateral against
these guarantees and no contractual recourse provision exists that would enable the Company to recover amounts guaranteed. The guarantees relate to 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.



The Company has identified SAC and
Southeastern as variable interest entities and has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of either of the cooperatives. The Companys variable interest in these cooperatives includes an equity ownership in each of the entities and the
guarantee of certain indebtedness. As of December 31, 2006, SAC had total assets of approximately $39 million and total debt of approximately

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



$17 million. SAC had total revenues for 2006 of approximately $173 million. As of December 31, 2006, Southeastern had total assets of approximately
$379 million and total debt of approximately $279 million. Southeastern had total revenue for 2006 of approximately $566 million. In the event either of these cooperatives fail to fulfill their commitments under the related debt and lease
obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the Companys maximum exposure under these guarantees on
December 31, 2006 would have been $57.4 million and the Companys maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $35.4 million for SAC and $30.4 million for Southeastern. The Company has been purchasing plastic
bottles and finished products from these cooperatives for more than ten years.



The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On December 31, 2006, these letters of credit totaled $22.1 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 December 31, 2006 amounted to $28.5 million and expire at various dates through 2014.



On February 14, 2006, forty-eight Coca-Cola bottler plaintiffs filed
suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri against The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE). On February 24, 2006, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding twelve bottlers
as plaintiffs. In the lawsuit, Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Company, et al. vs. The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.,the bottler plaintiffs purport to bring claims for breach of contract and breach of duty and
other related claims arising out of CCEs plan to offer warehouse delivery of POWERade to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart) within CCEs territory. The bottler plaintiffs seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
prohibiting the warehouse delivery of POWERade and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. On March 17, 2006, the Missouri District Court transferred the case, for the convenience of the parties, to the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Georgia (the District Court).



In April 2006, warehouse delivery of POWERade commenced in the Companys exclusive bottling territory. On September 5, 2006, the District Court granted the Companys motion to intervene as defendant for the limited purpose of
opposing the injunctive relief sought by the bottler plaintiffs. The District Court found that the Company had a legally protectable interest at stake in the litigation in that the relief requested would preclude the Company from warehouse delivery
of POWERade within its exclusive bottling territory.



In
February 2007, The Coca-Cola Company, CCE, the Company and many of the plaintiffs entered into a series of agreements that the Company expects will result in the dismissal without prejudice of the lawsuit and the implementation of a program to test
various new route-to-market service systems. The new alternative route-to-market program provides, among other things, that during the next two years, through December 31, 2008, any Coca-Cola bottler that desires to implement an alternative
route-to-market delivery plan shall present the plan for advance discussion and approval by representatives of The Coca-Cola Company and the Coca-Cola bottling system. The agreements preserve all parties rights, and afford the Coca-Cola
bottling system an opportunity to meet to discuss whether the new route-to-market service system should be continued. The agreements also provide that the lawsuit will be dismissed in the near future.



The Company is involved in various other 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 other claims and legal proceedings, management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse

effect on the financial condition, cash flows or results of operations of the Company. No material amount of loss in excess of recorded amounts is believed
to be reasonably possible as a result of these claims and legal proceedings.



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



14.Income Taxes



The current income tax provision represents the estimated amount of income taxes paid or payable for the year, as well as changes in estimates from prior years. The deferred income tax provision represents the change
in deferred tax liabilities and assets. The following table presents the significant components of the provision for income taxes for 2006, 2005 and 2004.

In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Jobs Act) was enacted. The
Jobs Act provided for a tax deduction for qualified production activities. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (FAS 109-1), which was effective immediately. FAS 109-1 provides guidance on the
accounting for the provision within the Jobs Act that provides a tax deduction on qualified production activities. The deduction for qualified production activities provided within the Jobs Act and the Companys related adoption of FAS 109-1
reduced the Companys effective income tax rate by approximately 1% in 2005 and 2006.



In 2006, the Company reached agreements with two state taxing authorities to settle certain prior tax positions for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution. As a result, the
Company reduced the valuation allowance on related deferred tax assets by $2.6 million and reduced the liability for uncertain tax positions by $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 (Q4 2006). This adjustment was reflected as a $4.9
million reduction of income tax expense in Q4 2006. Also during Q4 2006, the Company increased the liability for uncertain tax positions by $.5 million to reflect an interest accrual and an adjustment of the reserve for uncertain tax positions. The
net effect of adjustments to the valuation allowance and liability for uncertain tax positions during Q4 2006 was a reduction in income tax expense of $4.4 million.



During 2005, the Company entered into settlement agreements with two states regarding certain tax years. The effect of these
settlements was the reduction of certain state net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect, net of federal tax benefit, of $.6 million, the payment of $1.1 million in previously accrued tax and the reduction of valuation allowances of $1.2
million, net of federal tax benefit, related to net operating losses in these states, which the Company now believes more likely than not will be utilized to reduce state liabilities in the future.



During 2005, the Company also entered into a settlement agreement with
another state whereby the Company agreed to reduce certain net operating loss carryforwards and to pay certain additional taxes and interest relating to prior years. The loss of state net operating loss carryforwards, net of federal tax benefit, of
$4.4 million did not have an effect on the provision for income taxes due to a valuation allowance previously recorded for such deferred tax assets. Under this settlement, the Company was required to pay $5.7 million in 2005 and was required to pay
an additional $5.0 million by April 15, 2006. The amounts paid and remaining to be paid in excess of liabilities previously recorded had the effect of increasing income tax expense by approximately $4.1 million in 2005. Based on an analysis of
facts and available information, the Company also made adjustments for income tax exposure in other states in 2005 which had the effect of decreasing income tax expense by $3.8 million in 2005.



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



The valuation allowance decreases in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were due to the Companys assessments of its ability to use certain state net operating loss
carryforwards primarily due to agreements with state taxing authorities as previously discussed.

Deferred tax assets
are recognized for the tax benefit of deductible temporary differences and for federal and state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recognized on these assets if the Company believes that it is more likely than
not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company believes the majority of the deferred tax assets will be realized because of the reversal of certain significant temporary differences and anticipated future taxable
income from operations.



In addition to a valuation allowance
related to state net operating loss carryforwards, the Company records liabilities for uncertain tax positions principally related to state income taxes and certain federal income tax positions. These liabilities reflect the Companys best
estimate of the ultimate income tax liability based on currently known facts and information. Material changes in facts or information as well as the expiration of statutes and/or settlements with individual state or federal jurisdictions may result
in material adjustments to these estimates in the future.



The
valuation allowance of $1.1 million and $3.7 million as of December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, respectively, was established primarily for state net operating loss carryforwards which expire in varying amounts through 2023. There were
no AMT credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2006 as the Company used its AMT credits to reduce its federal tax obligation for fiscal 2006.

15.Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)



Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income and
other adjustments, including derivatives gain (loss) and minimum pension liability adjustment. In addition, the adjustment to initially apply SFAS No. 158 Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
was recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the end of 2006. A summary of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:

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 Marketsmtier of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC® under the symbol COKE. There is no established public trading market for the Class B Common Stock. Shares of the Class B Common Stock are convertible on a share-for-share
basis into shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of the holders of Class B Common Stock.



Pursuant to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, no cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as
specifically described in the Certificate of Incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, dividends of $1.00 per share
were declared and paid on both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.



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



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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Pursuant to a Stock Rights and Restriction Agreement dated January 27, 1989, between the Company
and The Coca-Cola Company, in the event that the Company issues new shares of Class B Common Stock upon the exchange or exercise of any security, warrant or option of the Company which results in The Coca-Cola Company owning less than 20% of the
outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and less than 20% of the total votes of all outstanding shares of all classes of the Company, The Coca-Cola Company has the right to exchange shares of Common Stock for shares of Class B Common Stock in
order to maintain its ownership of 20% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and 20% of the total votes of all outstanding shares of all classes of the Company. Under the Stock Rights and Restrictions Agreement, The Coca-Cola Company
also has a preemptive right to purchase a percentage of any newly issued shares of any class as necessary to allow it to maintain ownership of both 29.67% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of all classes and 22.59% of the total votes of all
outstanding shares of all classes.



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



On February 23, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and
should be issued, pursuant to the performance-based award discussed above, to Mr. Harrison, III in connection with his services as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company for the fiscal year ended
January 2, 2005. On February 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee determined an additional 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested to Mr. Harrison, III in connection with his services for the fiscal year ended
January 1, 2006.



The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, on January 2, 2006. The Company applied the modified prospective transition method and prior periods were not restated. The
Companys only share based compensation is the restricted stock award to Mr. Harrison, III, as previously described. Each annual 20,000 share tranche has an independent performance requirement as it is not established until the
Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets are approved each year by the Companys Board of Directors. As a result, each 20,000 share tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date fair value and requisite service
period.



The Companys Annual Bonus Plan targets, which
establish the performance requirement for the restricted stock award in 2006, were approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2006 and the Company recorded the 20,000 share award at the grant-date price of $46.45 per share. Total
stock compensation expense was $929,000 over the one-year service period (fiscal 2006) as the Company achieved at least 80% of the overall goal achievement factor in the Companys Annual Bonus Plan. In addition, the Company reimburses
Mr. Harrison, III for income taxes to be paid on the shares if the performance requirement is met and the shares are issued. The Company accrues the estimated cost of the income tax reimbursement over the one-year service period.



Prior to the adoption of this statement, the Company accrued compensation
expense over the course of the one-year service period with the full year expense based upon the end of the period stock price.

shares of Common Stock. The increase in the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding in 2005 was due to the issuance of 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award in 2005 reduced by the conversion of 500
shares of Class B Common Stock into 500 shares of Common Stock.

Pension Plans



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



On February 22, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved
an amendment to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan to cease further benefit accruals under the plan effective June 30, 2006. The plan amendment was accounted for as a plan curtailment under SFAS No. 88,
Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits (as amended). The curtailment resulted in a reduction of the Companys projected benefit obligation which was
offset against the Companys unrecognized net loss. The impacts of the curtailment on net income and the effect on net periodic pension expense prior to the effective date of June 30, 2006 were immaterial. Net periodic pension expense was
reduced beginning in the third quarter of 2006 as the Company no longer accrues current service cost for the principal Company-sponsored pension plan.

The investments in the
Companys pension plans include U.S. equities, international equities and debt securities. All of the plan assets are invested in institutional investment funds managed by professional investment advisors. The objective of the Companys
investment philosophy is to earn the plans targeted rate of return over longer periods without assuming excess investment risk. The general guidelines for plan investments include 30%50% in large capitalization equity securities,
0%20% in U.S. small and mid-capitalization equity securities, 0%20% in international equity securities and 10%50% in debt securities. The Company currently has 67% of its plan investments in equity securities and 33% in debt
securities.



U.S. large capitalization equity securities
include domestic based companies that are generally included in common market indices such as the S&P 500 and the Russell 1000. U.S. small and mid-capitalization equity securities include small domestic equities as represented by the
Russell 2000 index. International equity securities include companies from developed markets outside of the United States. Debt securities at December 31, 2006 are comprised of investments in two institutional bond funds with a weighted
average duration of approximately three years.



The weighted
average expected long-term rate of return of plan assets of 8% was used in determining both net periodic pension cost in both 2006 and 2005. This rate reflects an estimate of long-term future returns for the pension plan assets. This estimate is
primarily a function of the asset classes (equities versus fixed income) in

which the pension plan assets are invested and the analysis of past performance of these asset classes over a long period of time. This analysis includes
expected long-term inflation and the risk premiums associated with equity investments and fixed income investments.



The Company also participates in various multi-employer pension plans covering certain employees who are part of collective bargaining agreements. Total
pension expense for multi-employer plans in 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.



401(k) Plan



The Company provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for substantially all of its employees who are not part of collective bargaining agreements. Under provisions
of the 401(k) Savings Plan, an employee is vested with respect to Company contributions upon the completion of two years of service with the Company. The total costs for this benefit in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $4.7 million, $4.6 million and $4.3
million, respectively. In conjunction with the change to the principal Company-sponsored pension plan previously discussed, the Companys Board of Directors also approved an amendment to the 401(k) Savings Plan to increase the Companys
matching contribution under the 401(k) Savings Plan effective January 1, 2007. The amendment to the 401(k) Savings Plan will provide for fully vested matching contributions equal to one hundred percent of a participants elective deferrals
to the 401(k) Savings Plan up to a maximum of 5% of a participants eligible compensation.



Postretirement Benefits



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



In October 2005, the Company changed certain provisions of its postretirement
health care plan that reduced future benefit obligations to eligible participants. Subsequent to these changes, the Companys expense and liability related to its postretirement health care plan was reduced.

The contingent rentals
in 2006, 2005 and 2004 reduce the minimum rentals as a result of changes in interest rates, using LIBOR as the measurement device. Increases or decreases in lease payments that result from changes in the interest rate factor are recorded as
adjustments to interest expense.



On June 1, 1993, the
Company entered into a lease agreement with Beacon Investment Corporation (Beacon) related to the Companys headquarters office facility. Beacons sole shareholder is J. Frank Harrison, III. On January 5,
1999, the Company entered into a new ten-year lease agreement with Beacon which included the Companys headquarters office facility and an adjacent office facility. On March 1, 2004, the Company recorded a capital lease of $32.4 million
related to these facilities when the Company received a renewal option to extend the term of the lease. On December 18, 2006, the Company modified the lease agreement (effective January 1, 2007) with Beacon related to the Companys
headquarters office facility which expires in December 2021. The modified lease would not have changed the classification of the existing lease had it been in effect on March 1, 2004 when the lease was capitalized and did not extend the term of
the lease (remaining lease term was reduced from 21 years to 15 years). Accordingly, the present value of the leased property under capital lease and capital lease obligations was adjusted by an amount equal to the difference between the future
minimum lease payments under the modified lease agreement and the present value of the existing obligation on the commencement date of the modified lease (January 1, 2007). The principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2006 was $30.7
million. The capital lease obligation and leased property under capital leases was increased by $5.1 million on January 1, 2007. The principal balance outstanding as of January 1, 2007 was $35.8 million. The annual base rent the Company is
obligated to pay under the modified lease is subject to adjustment for increases in the Consumer Price Index. The prior lease annual base rent was subject to adjustment for increases in the Consumer Price Index and for increases or decreases in
interest rates using the adjusted Eurodollar Rate as the measurement device.

21.Risks and
Uncertainties



Approximately 90% of the
Companys bottle/can sales volume to retail customers are products of The Coca-Cola Company, which is the sole supplier of the concentrates or syrups required to manufacture these products. The remaining 10% of the Companys
bottle/can sales volume to retail customers are products of other beverage companies. The Company has bottling contracts under which it has various requirements to meet. Failure to meet the requirements of these bottling contracts could result in
the loss of distribution rights for the respective product.



The Companys products are sold and distributed directly by its employees to retail stores and other outlets. During 2006, approximately 68% of the Companys bottle/can sales volume to retail customers was sold for future
consumption. The remaining bottle/can sales volume to retail customers of approximately 32% was sold for immediate consumption. The Companys largest customers, Wal-Mart and Food Lion, LLC, accounted for approximately 16% and 12% of the
Companys total bottle/can sales volume to retail customers during 2006, respectively. Wal-Mart accounted for approximately 11% of the Companys total net sales.



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



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



Approximately 7% of
the Companys labor force is currently covered by collective bargaining agreements. Two collective bargaining contracts covering less than 1% of the Companys employees expire during 2007.

23.New Accounting Pronouncements



Recently Adopted Pronouncements



In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This SFAS required the following for defined pension and other postretirement plans:



|(1) | Recognition in the statement of financial position of the overfunded or underfunded status of the plans.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | Recognition as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits that arise during the period but are not
recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | Recognition as an adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax, any remaining transition asset or transition obligation.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(4) | Measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers statement of financial position.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(5) | Disclosure of additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements about certain effects on periodic benefit costs in the upcoming fiscal year that arise
from delayed recognition of the actuarial gains and losses and the prior service costs and credits.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The Statement was effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, except for the requirement that the benefit plan assets and obligations
be measured as of the date of the employers statement of financial

position, which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of the adoption of this Statement was to increase the
Companys pension and postretirement liabilities by $4.2 million with a corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive loss, net of tax effect, of $1.6 million. See Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements for additional information.



The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB 108) in September 2006. SAB 108 expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the process of quantifying the materiality of financial misstatements. SAB 108 requires both the balance sheet and income statement approaches be used
when quantifying the materiality of misstatement amounts. In addition, SAB 108 contains guidance on correcting errors under the dual approach and provides transition guidance for correcting errors existing in prior years. SAB 108 was effective in
the Companys fourth quarter of 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and was effective as of the beginning of 2006. This Statement requires public companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on
the grant-date fair value of the award. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.



Recently Issued Pronouncements



In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for
Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140. This Statement simplifies accounting for certain hybrid financial instruments, eliminates the interim guidance in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,
Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interest in Securitized Financial Assets, and eliminates a restriction of the passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. The Statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this Statement is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Interpretation on the consolidated financial statements.



In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. 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 practice in measuring current
fair value measurements. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this Statement on the consolidated financial statements.

25.Subsequent Events



On February 2, 2007, the Company initiated plans to simplify its operating management structure and reduce its workforce in order to improve operating efficiencies across the Companys business. The Company
believes these changes will allow it to better compete in the marketplace. The Company anticipates the completion of these plans prior to the end of February 2007. As a result of these plans, the Company estimates incurring $1.5 million to $2.0
million for one-time termination benefits and $1.0 million to $1.5 million for other associated costs, primarily relocation expenses for certain employees, in connection with these changes. In total, the Company estimates incurring $2.5 million to
$3.5 million related to these changes. Further, the Company estimates that $1.0 million to $2.0 million of the charges identified above will result in cash expenditures subsequent to the first quarter of 2007 and anticipates substantially all of the
cash expenditures occurring prior to 2007 fiscal year end.



On
March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a new $200 million revolving credit facility, replacing its $100 million facility. The new 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 facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an
interest rate spread of .35%. In addition, there is a fee of .10% required for this facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Companys long-term senior unsecured
debt rating. The facility contains similar financial covenants as the previous $100 million facility. The two financial covenants are related to ratio requirements for interest coverage and long-term debt to cash flow, each as defined in the credit
agreement.

Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting



Management of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (the Company)
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
under the supervision of the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys consolidated financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Companys internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:



(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;



(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and



(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets
that could have a material effect on our financial statements.



Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.



As of December 31, 2006, management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the framework
established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that the Companys internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is effective.



Managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm,
as stated in their report appearing on pages 98 and 99, which expresses unqualified opinions on managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting and on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Coca-Cola
Bottling Co. Consolidated:



We have completed integrated
audits of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidateds December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006 consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.



Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(a)(1)
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and January 1, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index
appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. These financial statements and the financial statement
schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



As discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for pension and postretirement
benefits in 2006.



Internal control over financial reporting



Also, in our opinion, managements assessment,
included in Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing on page 97, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the COSO. The Companys
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on managements
assessment and on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit
of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with

Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
