      The significant changes in sales and operating income were due in part to
      the transaction described in Note 4 below. There were no material changes
      in total assets by geographic segment since fiscal year end 2000.

3.    The Company's fiscal year consists of 52 or 53 weeks ending on the
      Saturday closest to December 31; fiscal 2000 ended on December 30, 2000.
      The Company's third quarters of 2001 and 2000 were based on the thirteen
      weeks ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000, respectively.

4.    On November 30, 2000, the former PepsiAmericas, Inc. (the "former PAS")
      merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Whitman Corporation. In January
      2001, Whitman Corporation changed its name to PepsiAmericas, Inc. This
      transaction is more fully described in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on
      Form 10-K.

                                       5

      During the first quarter of 2001, the Company reached an agreement with
      Crescent Distributing, LLC ("Crescent"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
      Poydras Street Investors LLC ("Poydras"). Under the agreement, the joint
      venture between the Company and Poydras was terminated with Crescent
      retaining sole ownership of the rights to the beer operations and related
      assets and the Company assuming sole ownership of the rights to the soft
      drink operations and related assets. The results derived from the beer
      operations were not material to the Company's overall business.

      The Company also acquired the Pepsi bottling operations in Trinidad and
      Tobago on December 29, 2000. This transaction was accounted for under the
      purchase method. Accordingly, the operating results have been included in
      the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The
      effect of this acquisition is not significant to the Company's operating
      results, and consideration paid was not significant.

      In the first quarter of 2000, the Company sold its operations in the
      Baltics. This sale resulted in a gain of $2.6 million ($1.4 million after
      taxes), which is reflected in "Other (expense) income, net" on the
      Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

      The pro forma condensed consolidated results of continuing operations
      presented below for 2001 and 2000 assume the following:

      o  The territories and companies described above, with the exception of
         Trinidad and Tobago, were acquired or divested as of the beginning of
         fiscal 2000. Operating results for Trinidad and Tobago are only
         included from the date of acquisition.

      o  The after tax gain from the sale of the Baltics in 2000 was excluded.

      o  The special charges and pension curtailment gain recorded in the first
         quarter of 2001 were excluded, as well as other non-recurring items
         recorded in 2000 by the Company and the former PAS.

      o  Interest expense has been adjusted to assume the interest rates in
         effect for both years for the Company would have been in effect for
         debt assumed from the former PAS business units.

7.    Net cash provided by operating activities reflected cash payments and
      receipts for interest and income taxes as follows:

                                                       (in millions)

      Income taxes paid, net of refunds                 8.1             30.8

      The reduction in income taxes paid resulted from the application of
      overpayment of the 2000 income taxes to the Company's 2001 estimated
      income tax payments in the first nine months of 2001.

8.    As of the end of the third quarter of 2001, approximately 45 percent of
      the Company's inventory consisted of raw materials and supplies, while 55
      percent was finished goods. This compares to 50 percent raw materials and
      supplies and 50 percent finished goods at fiscal year end 2000.

9.    In the first quarter of 2001, the Company recorded a special charge of
      $4.6 million ($2.8 million after taxes). The charge, related to further
      organization changes resulting from the transaction with the former PAS,
      was principally composed of severance and related benefits.

      In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a special charge of
      $21.7 million ($13.2 million after taxes). The charge principally included
      severance payments and related benefits for employees affected by the
      integration of operations in connection with the acquisition of the former
      PAS and is more fully explained in the Company's 2000 Annual Report on
      Form 10-K.

      The following table summarizes activity associated with the special
      charges (in millions):

      Accrued liabilities as of fiscal year end 2000

                                                                      --------
      Accrued liabilities at the end of the third quarter of 2001     $    3.0

      The 2001 and 2000 charges affected approximately 55 employees, of which 4
      remain as of the end of the third quarter of 2001. The accrued liabilities
      remaining as of the end of the third quarter of 2001 are comprised of
      deferred severance payments and certain employee benefits. The Company
      expects to pay a significant portion of the $3 million of employee related
      costs, using cash from operations, during the next 12 months; accordingly,
      such amounts are classified as other current liabilities.

10.   In connection with the integration of former Whitman Corporation and
      former PAS domestic benefit plans during the first quarter of 2001, the
      Company will freeze pension benefit accruals for substantially all
      salaried and non-union employees effective December 31, 2001. Employees
      age 50 or older with 10 or more years of vesting service were
      grandfathered such that they will continue to accrue benefits after
      December 31, 2001 based on their final average pay as of December 31,
      2001. As a result of the curtailment, the Company recognized a one-time
      curtailment gain of $8.9 million ($5.4 million after taxes). The existing
      domestic salaried and non-union pension plans will be replaced by an
      additional Company contribution to the 401(K) plan.

11.   The Company uses aluminum swap contracts to hedge against volatility in
      future cash flows on anticipated aluminum can purchases, the prices of
      which are indexed to aluminum market prices. Realized gains and losses on
      aluminum hedge contracts are deferred until the related finished products
      are sold. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
      - Commodity Prices." Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2001, the
      Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
      133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
      amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138. In connection with the adoption, the
      Company recognized an asset for the fair value of aluminum hedges of $1.4
      million and reclassified $0.4 million of previously deferred hedging
      losses to accumulated other comprehensive income. Accordingly, the impact
      of adopting SFAS No. 133, as amended, was an increase of $1 million in
      accumulated other comprehensive income, all of which will be reclassified
      into cost of goods sold during fiscal 2001.

      During the third quarter of 2001, the Company entered into swap contracts
      to hedge against volatility in future cash flows on anticipated diesel
      fuel purchases, the prices of which are indexed to diesel fuel market
      prices. Realized gains and losses on fuel hedge contracts are deferred
      until the fuel is purchased. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
      About Market Risk - Commodity Prices."

      As of the end of the third quarter of 2001, the Company had deferred $5
      million of aluminum and fuel hedging losses in accumulated other
      comprehensive income, a majority of which will be reclassified into
      earnings during the next 12 months. The Company has hedged a portion of
      its anticipated aluminum can and fuel purchases through the end of fiscal
      2002.

      During the third quarter of 2001, the Company entered into swap contracts
      with an aggregate notional amount of $200 million to convert a portion of
      its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt, with the objective of reducing
      overall borrowing costs. These swaps are accounted for as fair value
      hedges, since they hedge against the fair value of fixed rate debt
      resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. The fair value of the
      interest rate swaps as of the end of the third quarter of 2001 was $6.1
      million, which is reflected in "Investments and other assets" on the
      Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding increase in
      "Long-term debt" representing the change in fair value of the fixed rate
      debt. The fair value adjustment had no earnings impact since the swaps are
      considered highly effective in eliminating the interest rate risk of the
      fixed rate debt they are hedging; however, the benefit of floating
      interest rates reduced the Company's borrowing costs during the third
      quarter of 2001.

12.   The Company continues to be subject to certain indemnification obligations
      under agreements with previously sold subsidiaries, including potential
      environmental liabilities. There is significant uncertainty in assessing
      the Company's share of the potential liability for such indemnification.
      The assessment and determination for cleanup at the various sites involved
      is inherently speculative during the early stages, and the Company's
      indemnification obligations for such costs is subject to various factors,
      including possible secondary insurance recoveries and the allocation of
      liabilities among many other potentially responsible and financially
      viable parties.

      At the end of the third quarter of 2001, the Company had accruals of $10.6
      million to cover potential indemnification obligations, including $5
      million classified as current liabilities. Such amounts are determined
      using estimated undiscounted future cash requirements, and have not been
      reduced by potential future insurance recoveries. During the second
      quarter of 2000, a trust was established that will be used to satisfy a
      portion of the future indemnification obligations. No payments were made
      by the trust during the first nine months of 2001, and the trust held
      $34.2 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2001.

                                       8

      The estimated liabilities include expenses for the remediation of
      identified sites, payments to third parties for claims and expenses, and
      the expenses of on-going evaluations and litigation. The estimates are
      based upon the judgments of outside consultants and experts and their
      evaluations of the characteristics and parameters of the sites, including
      results from field inspections, test borings and water flows. The
      estimates are based upon the use of current technology and remediation
      techniques, and do not take into consideration any inflationary trends
      upon such claims or expenses, nor do they reflect the possible benefits of
      continuing improvements in remediation methods. The accruals also do not
      provide for any claims for environmental liabilities or other potential
      issues which may occur in the future.

      The Company has contingent liabilities from various pending claims and
      litigation on a number of matters, including indemnification claims under
      agreements with previously sold subsidiaries for product liability and
      toxic torts. The ultimate liability for these claims cannot be determined.
      In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available,
      the ultimate resolution of these claims and litigation, including
      potential environmental exposures, and considering amounts already
      accrued, should not have a material effect on the Company's financial
      condition, although amounts recorded in a given period could be material
      to the results of operations or cash flows for that period. Existing
      environmental liabilities associated with the Company's continuing
      operations are not material.

13.   Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted-average number of
      common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assume the exercise
      of all options which are dilutive, whether exercisable or not. The
      dilutive effects of stock options are measured under the treasury stock
      method.

      Options to purchase the following shares were not included in the
      computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the
      average market price of the common shares during the related period:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
          of Operations.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               2001 THIRD QUARTER COMPARED WITH 2000 THIRD QUARTER

      Due to the transaction with the former PAS completed in November 2000, the
Company believes that pro forma results provide a better indication of current
operating trends than reported results. Therefore, included within the following
discussion are explanations of both reported results and pro forma results.

      Pro forma operating results assume the merger with the former PAS occurred
at the beginning of 2000 and exclude the impact of special charges and other
non-recurring items recorded in all periods presented. The Company's business is
highly seasonal; accordingly, the operating results of any individual quarter
may not be indicative of a full year's operating results.

      Sales for the third quarter of 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in
millions):

</TABLE>
      On a reported basis, sales increased $191.9 million, or 29.3 percent, in
the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of 2000, primarily
reflecting sales contributed by the additional territories acquired from the
former PAS. The balance of the growth in sales resulted primarily from higher
volume and improved pricing.

      On a pro forma basis, sales increased $23.4 million, or 2.8 percent. The
growth in sales included an increase in domestic sales of $9.3 million and an
increase in international sales of $14.1 million. Excluding sales contributed in
2000 by the beer operations, which the Company divested in the first quarter of
2001, domestic sales increased $20.7 million, or 3 percent. The increase in
domestic sales resulted from improved pricing, with average revenue per unit up
2.5 percent, and a 1.1 percent increase in volume. Volume growth was driven by
continued strong performance by Aquafina and the introduction of Mountain Dew
Code Red and Pepsi Twist in the second quarter of 2001, as well as Sierra Mist,
which was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000. Although in total
Pepsi-Cola, Diet Pepsi and Mountain Dew brands declined, total Pepsi-Cola
branded products, including Aquafina, Sierra Mist and Dole, grew approximately 2
percent from the third quarter of 2000. The higher international sales were due
to strong volume growth in Central Europe and the Caribbean, due in part to a
comparison with unusually soft volumes in Central Europe in the third quarter of
2000. Excluding sales in Trinidad and Tobago, territories acquired in December
2000, international sales were up $11.8 million, or 10.4 percent, on a 15.4
percent increase in volume and a 2.8 percent increase in average selling prices,
partially offset by a planned reduction in private label revenues.

      The consolidated gross profit margin on a reported basis decreased to 40.1
percent of sales in the third quarter of 2001 compared with 41.1 percent of
sales in the third quarter of 2000, driven primarily by a lower domestic gross
profit margin attributable to the inclusion in 2001 of lower margin territories
of the former PAS.

      On a pro forma basis, and excluding prior year results from the divested
beer operations, the consolidated gross profit margin of 40.1 percent was
unchanged from the third quarter of 2000. The domestic gross profit margin was
unchanged, as higher net selling prices were offset by higher concentrate and
packaging costs, due in part to a shift in mix towards more polyethylene
packaging. The international gross profit margin improved slightly due to higher
volumes and pricing improvements.

      Reported selling, delivery and administrative ("SD&A") expenses
represented 28.4 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2001 compared with
27.6 percent in the third quarter of 2000. Domestic SD&A expenses as a percent
of sales increased as the benefits of cost reduction efforts initiated in the
fourth quarter of 2000 were offset by higher integration costs resulting from
the territories acquired from the former PAS, along with higher depreciation
resulting from continued capital investments. International SD&A expenses as a
percent of sales were lower than the prior year, reflecting the impact of the
lower cost structure of the Caribbean operations of the former PAS in the third
quarter of 2001, as well as the favorable impact of higher volumes in the third
quarter of 2001.

      On a pro forma basis, and excluding prior year results from the divested
beer operations, SD&A expenses as a percent of sales in the third quarter of
2001 were 28.4 percent compared to 27.5 percent in the third quarter of 2000.
Domestic SD&A costs as a percent of sales were higher due to the factors
discussed. International SD&A expenses as a percent of sales were lower
primarily due to cost improvements and the benefits of volume growth in Central
Europe and the Caribbean.

      As a result of the actions taken with respect to the merger with the
former PAS, which resulted in a special charge of $4.6 million ($2.8 million
after tax) recorded in the first quarter of 2001 and a special charge of $21.7
million ($13.2 million after tax) recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000, the
Company expects to realize annual savings of approximately $16 million,
primarily in 2002 and 2003. This includes reduced employee related costs in both
the existing territories and the territories of the former PAS and the benefits
of centralized procurement through PepsiCo. A portion of the charges recorded in
2000 and 2001 resulted from payments to former executives of the Company, which
will not result in future savings or benefits.

      Operating income for the third quarter of 2001 and 2000 was as follows (in
millions):

</TABLE>
      In the third quarter of 2001, reported operating income increased $8.6
million, or 11 percent. Domestic reported operating income increased $3.5
million, or 4.2 percent, primarily due to the domestic operating income
contributed by the acquired territories. International markets incurred
operating losses of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2001 compared to $5.4
million in the previous year. This favorable comparison was due primarily to the
volume growth in the current year, as previously discussed.

      On a pro forma basis, operating income decreased $3.5 million, or 3.9
percent from the third quarter of 2000. Domestic operating income, excluding
2000 results from the divested beer operations, decreased $8.3 million, or 8.7
percent primarily due to higher integration costs and higher depreciation
resulting from continued capital investments. The decrease in domestic operating
income was partially offset by the improvement in operating losses incurred by
the international operations. International markets incurred losses of $0.3
million in the third quarter of 2001 compared to $5.2 million last year. This
improvement in operating losses was primarily related to improved volumes and
pricing.

      Net interest expense increased $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2001
to $22.7 million. This increase was principally due to the increase in the
average outstanding net debt resulting from the transaction with the former PAS,
partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt and
benefits of the interest rate swaps entered into during the third quarter of
2001.

      The Company reported other expense of $1.3 million in the third quarter of
2001 compared to $1.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2000. There were
no significant items recorded in either period.

</TABLE>
      On a reported basis, sales increased $522.6 million, or 27.7 percent, in
the first nine months of 2001 compared to the first nine months of 2000,
primarily reflecting sales contributed by the additional territories acquired
from the former PAS. The balance of the growth in sales resulted from improved
pricing and volume growth.

      On a pro forma basis, sales increased $47.4 million, or 2 percent. The
growth in sales included an increase in domestic sales of $33.7 million, or 1.7
percent, and an increase in international sales of $13.7 million, or 4.2
percent. Excluding results of the Company's divested beer operations, domestic
sales increased $58.4 million, or 2.9 percent. The increase in domestic sales
resulted from improved pricing, with average net revenue per unit up 2.9
percent, on a 0.5 percent increase in volume. Total Pepsi-Cola branded products
were stronger, growing over one percent, driven by Sierra Mist, which was
introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000, and second quarter 2001 introductions
of Mountain Dew Code Red and Pepsi Twist, as well as continued strong growth in
Aquafina. Excluding sales in Trinidad and Tobago, territories acquired in
December 2000, international sales were up $6.6 million, or 2 percent. The
higher international sales were due to a 6.3 percent increase in volume and a
2.6 percent increase in pricing, partially offset by a planned reduction in
private label revenues.

      The consolidated gross profit margin on a reported basis decreased to 39.8
percent of sales in the first nine months of 2001 compared with 41.2 percent of
sales in the first nine months of 2000, driven primarily by a lower domestic
gross profit margin attributable to the inclusion in 2001 of lower margin
territories of the former PAS.

      On a pro forma basis, and excluding results from the divested beer
operations, the consolidated gross profit margin decreased to 39.9 percent of
sales in the first nine months of 2001 from 40.1 percent in the first nine
months of 2000. The domestic gross profit margin was down slightly, as the
benefits of higher net selling prices were offset by increased concentrate and
packaging costs. The international gross profit margin was slightly lower due to
higher concentrate and packaging costs in the Caribbean.

      Reported SD&A expenses represented 29 percent of sales in the first nine
months of 2001 compared with 29.3 percent in the first nine months of 2000. The
decline in the percentage of SD&A expenses was primarily attributable to the
impact of the lower cost structure of the Caribbean operations of the former PAS
in the first nine months of 2001.

      On a pro forma basis, and excluding results from the divested beer
operations, SD&A expenses as a percent of sales in the first nine months of 2001
were 29.1 percent, unchanged from the first nine months of 2000. Domestic SD&A
costs as a percent of sales were slightly higher due primarily to higher
depreciation resulting from continued capital investments. International SD&A
costs as a percent of sales were lower due to cost improvements and the benefits
of volume growth in Central Europe and the Caribbean, partially offset by the
inclusion in the first nine months of 2000 of $2.1 million of favorable purchase
accounting adjustments for depreciation.

      In the first nine months of 2001, reported operating income increased
$32.3 million, or 16.6 percent. Included in the first nine months of 2001 were a
special charge of $4.6 million and a gain on pension curtailment of $8.9
million. Excluding these non-recurring items, reported operating income
increased $28 million, or 14.4 percent, primarily due to the domestic operating
income contributed by the acquired territories. Reported international operating
losses improved by $1.1 million due primarily to higher volumes and pricing,
partially offset by the addition in 2001 of operating losses of the Caribbean
territories acquired from the former PAS and the inclusion in the first nine
months of 2000 of favorable purchase accounting adjustments for depreciation.

      On a pro forma basis, operating income increased $2.3 million, or one
percent from the first nine months of 2000. The improvement was primarily driven
by a $4.1 million improvement in international operating losses, reflecting the
benefits of higher volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by the
inclusion in the first nine months of 2000 of favorable purchase accounting
adjustments for depreciation. Excluding the divested beer operations, domestic
operating income decreased $1.1 million, or 0.5 percent, as higher depreciation
and concentrate and packaging costs more than offset the benefits of higher
volumes and improved pricing.

      Net interest expense increased $8.4 million in the first nine months of
2001 to $71.8 million. This increase was principally due to the increase in the
average outstanding net debt resulting from the transaction with the former PAS,
partially offset by lower interest rates on the Company's floating rate debt and
benefits resulting from the interest rate swaps entered into during the third
quarter of 2001.

      The Company reported other expense of $0.9 million in the first nine
months of 2001 compared to other income of $1.8 million reported in the first
nine months of 2000. Included in other income in the first nine months of 2000
was a gain of $2.6 million resulting from the sale of the franchise operations
in the Baltics. Absent this gain, other income was essentially unchanged from
the first nine months of 2000.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Net cash provided by continuing operations increased by $114.2 million to
$247.9 million in the first nine months of 2001. This increase was primarily due
to operating cash flow provided by the domestic operations acquired from the
former PAS and improved operating cash flow in the existing domestic
territories, as well as improvement in working capital management and lower
income tax payments in 2001, resulting from the application of overpayment of
the 2000 income taxes to the Company's 2001 estimated income tax payments in the
first nine months of 2001.

      Investing activities of $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2001
included cash paid in connection with the dissolution of the joint venture
between the Company and Poydras through which the Company assumed sole ownership
of the soft drink operations in New Orleans, as well as payments related to the
acquisition of Trinidad and Tobago and a small domestic franchise acquisition.
The Company made capital investments of $151 million, net of proceeds from asset
sales, in its operations in the first nine months of 2001 compared with $129.3
million in the first nine months of 2000. This increase resulted from capital
spending in the acquired territories in 2001, partially offset by reduced
capital investments to support the Company's cold drink initiative, reflecting
the Company's focus on redeploying existing cold drink equipment, along with a
reduction in international spending. In addition, the Company is expanding its
refurbishment efforts by converting a production facility in Ft. Wayne, Indiana
to a refurbishment facility for cold drink equipment. Proceeds from the sales of
investments of $1.9 million in the first nine months of 2001 related to
miscellaneous land sales associated with the Company's non-operating real estate
subsidiaries.

      The Company's total debt decreased $38 million to $1,335.4 million at the
end of the third quarter of 2001, from $1,373.4 million at the end of fiscal
2000. During February and March 2001, the Company issued $200 million and $150
million of notes with coupon rates of 5.95 percent due 2006 and 5.79 percent due
2013, respectively. The notes issued in March 2001 will be remarketed in March
2003, at which time the notes will either be mandatorily purchased and reissued
by the underwriter or mandatorily redeemed by the Company. Proceeds from these
notes were used to repay outstanding commercial paper. On August 1, 2001, the
Company announced that it would resume purchasing its common stock under a
previously authorized repurchase program, under which 11.4 million shares
remained available for repurchase at the end of the third quarter of 2001. The
Company repurchased 0.5 million shares of its common stock for $6.6 million in
the first nine months of 2001, compared to three million shares for $35.7
million in the first nine months of 2000. The Company declared an annual
dividend of four cents per share in the first quarter of 2001, which was paid in
the second quarter of 2001. This dividend rate was unchanged from the annual
dividend rate in 2000. The issuance of common stock from treasury shares for the
exercise of stock options resulted in cash inflows of $9.1 million in the first
nine months of 2001, compared to $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2000.

      At the end of the third quarter of 2001, the Company had revolving credit
agreements with maximum borrowings of $750 million, which act as back-up for the
Company's commercial paper program, giving the Company a total of $750 million
available under the commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities
combined. Total commercial paper borrowings were $236.5 million at the end of
the third quarter of 2001. In November 2001, $250 million of the revolving
credit agreements expired and were not renewed by the Company; accordingly, the
Company currently has a total of $500 million available under the commercial
paper program and revolving credit facilities combined. The Company believes
that with its existing operating cash flows, available lines of credit, and the
potential for additional debt and equity offerings, it will have sufficient
resources to fund its future growth and expansion.

                        RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires the purchase method of accounting to be used for
all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. The Company does not
expect SFAS No. 141 to significantly impact its consolidated financial
statements. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Goodwill and other
intangible assets that have an indefinite life will not be amortized, but rather
will be tested for impairment annually or whenever an event occurs indicating
that the asset may be impaired. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective
the beginning of fiscal 2002 and expects to cease amortization of substantially
all intangible assets, which principally represent franchise rights granted in
perpetuity. The Company will test its intangible assets for impairment in fiscal
2002, as required by SFAS No. 142.

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements of
expected future developments, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q refer to
the expectations regarding continuing operating improvement and other matters.
These forward-looking statements reflect management's expectations and are based
on currently available data; however, actual results are subject to future risks
and uncertainties, which could materially affect actual performance. Risks and
uncertainties that could adversely affect such future performance include, but
are not limited to, the following: competition, including product and pricing
pressures; changing trends in consumer tastes; changes in the Company's
relationship and/or support programs with PepsiCo and other brand owners; market
acceptance of new product offerings; weather conditions; cost and availability
of raw materials; availability of capital; labor and employee benefit costs;
unfavorable interest rate and currency fluctuations; costs of legal proceedings;
outcomes of environmental claims and litigation; and general economic, business
and political conditions in the countries and territories where the Company
operates.

      These events and uncertainties are difficult or impossible to predict
accurately and many are beyond the Company's control. The Company assumes no
obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

      The Company is subject to various market risks, including risks from
changes in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates.

COMMODITY PRICES

      The risk from commodity price changes relates to the Company's ability to
recover higher product costs through price increases to customers, which may be
limited due to the competitive pricing environment that exists in the soft drink
business. The Company uses swap contracts to hedge price fluctuations for a
portion of its aluminum and fuel requirements over a specified period of time.
Because of the high correlation between the commodity prices and the Company's
contractual cost of these products, the Company considers these hedges to be
highly effective. As of the end of the third quarter of 2001, the Company has
hedged a portion of its future aluminum and fuel requirements through the end of
fiscal 2002.

INTEREST RATES

      In the first nine months of 2001, the risk from changes in interest rates
was not material to the Company's operations because a significant portion of
the Company's debt issues were fixed rate obligations. The Company's floating
rate exposure relates to changes in the six month LIBOR rate and the overnight
Federal Funds rate. Assuming consistent levels of floating rate debt with those
held at the end of the third quarter of 2001, a 50 basis point (0.5 percent)
change in each of these rates would have had an impact of approximately $1.7
million on the Company's interest expense in the first nine months of 2001.
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company entered into interest rate swaps
to convert a portion of its fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. The Company
had cash equivalents throughout the first nine months of 2001, principally
invested in money market funds and commercial paper, which were most closely
tied to overnight Federal Funds rates. Assuming a change of 50 basis points in
the rate of interest associated with the Company's cash equivalents at the end
of the third quarter of 2001, interest income would not have changed by a
significant amount.

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES

      Because the Company operates in international franchise territories, it is
subject to exposure resulting from changes in currency exchange rates. Currency
exchange rates are influenced by a variety of economic factors including local
inflation, growth, interest rates and governmental actions, as well as other
factors. The Company currently does not hedge the translation risks of
investments in its international operations. Any positive cash flows generated
by international operations have been reinvested in the operations, or used to
repay intercompany loans from the manufacturing operations in Poland.

      Based on sales, international operations represented approximately 14
percent of the Company's total operations in the first nine months of 2001.
Changes in currency exchange rates impact the translation of the results of
certain international operations from their local currencies into U.S. dollars.
If the currency exchange rates had changed by five percent in the first nine
months of 2001, the Company estimates the impact on reported operating income
would have been approximately $2 million. This estimate does not take into
account the possibility that rates can move in opposite directions and that
gains in one category may or may not be offset by losses from another category.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

          From approximately 1945 to 1995, various entities owned and operated a
          hydraulic equipment facility which engaged in chrome plating in the
          City of Willits, California. The plant site is contaminated by various
          chemicals and metals. On August 23, 1999, an action entitled Donna M.
          Avila, et al. v. Willits Environmental Remediation Trust, Remco
          Hydraulics, Inc., M-C Industries, Inc., Pneumo Abex Corporation and
          Whitman Corporation, Case No. C99-3941 CAL, was filed in United States
          District Court for the Northern District of California. On January 16,
          2001, a second action, entitled Pamela Jo Alrich, et al. v. Willits
          Environmental Remediation Trust, et al., Case No. C 01 0266 SI,
          against essentially the same defendants was filed in the same court.
          In the two actions, individual plaintiffs claim that the Company is
          liable for personal injury and/or property damage resulting from
          environmental contamination at the facility. In July 2001, plaintiffs'
          counsel asserted that hundreds of additional plaintiffs may be added
          to the actions. As of the second quarter of 2001, there were
          approximately 500 plaintiffs in the actions seeking an unspecified
          amount of damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and medical
          monitoring damages from the Company; this number grew to approximately
          1,000 plaintiffs during the third quarter. In August 2001, the Company
          filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaints filed in these
          lawsuits. In October 2001, the Company's motion to dismiss was granted
          in part and the court ordered the plaintiffs to plead their remaining
          claims with additional specificity. The Company is actively defending
          the actions. At this time, the Company does not believe these actions
          are material to the business or financial condition of the Company,
          although the outcome of the actions cannot be predicted with
          certainty.
