Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

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

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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2010 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Seasonality of Business

Historically, operating results for the second quarter and the first half of the fiscal year have not been representative of results for the entire fiscal year. Business seasonality results primarily from higher unit sales of the Company’s products in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Fixed costs, such as depreciation expense, are not significantly impacted by business seasonality.

3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership

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

3. Piedmont Coca-Cola Bottling Partnership

10. Debt

On March 8, 2007, the Company entered into a $200 million revolving credit facility (“$200 million facility”), replacing its $100 million revolving credit facility. The $200 million facility matures in March 2012 and includes an option to extend the term for an additional year at the discretion of the participating banks. The $200 million facility bears interest at a floating base rate or a floating rate of LIBOR plus an interest rate spread of .35%, dependent on the length of the term of the interest period. In addition, the Company must pay an annual facility fee of .10% of the lenders’ aggregate commitments under the facility. Both the interest rate spread and the facility fee are determined from a commonly-used pricing grid based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating. The $200 million facility contains two financial covenants: a fixed charges coverage ratio and a debt to operating cash flow ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement. The fixed charges coverage ratio requires the Company to maintain a consolidated cash flow to fixed charges ratio of 1.5 to 1 or higher. The operating cash flow ratio requires the Company to maintain a debt to cash flow ratio of 6.0 to 1 or lower. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants. These covenants do not currently, and the Company does not anticipate they will, restrict its liquidity or capital resources. On July 1, 2009, the Company borrowed $55.0 million under the $200 million facility and used the proceeds, along with $2.4 million of cash on hand, to repay at maturity the Company’s $57.4 million outstanding 7.20% Debentures due July 2009. As of June 28, 2009, $2.4 million of the 7.20% Debentures due July 2009 was classified as current. This amount was paid with cash on hand. On both July 4, 2010 and January 3, 2010, the Company had $15 million of outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility. On June 28, 2009, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million facility.

In April 2009, the Company issued $110 million of unsecured 7% Senior Notes due 2019. The proceeds plus cash on hand were used to repay the $119.3 million debt maturity on May 1, 2009.

On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement for an uncommitted line of credit. Under this agreement, the Company may borrow up to a total of $20 million for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 60 days or 90 days. On July 4, 2010, the Company had $5.0 million outstanding on the uncommitted line of credit, which was classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.7%, 5.6% and 5.7% for its debt and capital lease obligations as of July 4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. The Company’s overall weighted average interest rate on its debt and capital lease obligations was 5.8% for YTD 2010 compared to 5.7% for YTD 2009. As of July 4, 2010, approximately 8.0% of the Company’s debt and capital lease obligations of $604.2 million was subject to changes in short-term interest rates.

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

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

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest

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.

On September 18, 2008, the Company terminated six outstanding interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $225 million receiving $6.2 million in cash proceeds including $1.1 million for previously accrued interest receivable. After accounting for the previously accrued interest receivable, the Company is amortizing the gain of $5.1 million over the remaining term of the underlying debt. During YTD 2010 and YTD 2009, $.5 million and $.8 million of the gain, respectively, was amortized. The remaining amount to be amortized is $3.0 million. All of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements were LIBOR-based.

The Company had no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at July 4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and June 28, 2009.

Commodities

The Company is subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in commodity prices. In the normal course of business, the Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are used as “economic hedges” to manage commodity price risk. Currently the Company has derivative instruments to hedge some or all of its projected diesel fuel and aluminum purchase requirements. These derivative instruments are marked to market on a monthly basis and recognized in earnings consistent with the expense classification of the underlying hedged item. Settlements of derivative agreements are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Company uses several different financial institutions for commodity derivative instruments 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. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company used derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of its diesel fuel purchases for 2009 and is using derivative instruments to hedge substantially all of its diesel fuel purchases for 2010. These derivative instruments relate to diesel fuel used by the Company’s delivery fleet. During Q1 2009, the Company began using derivative instruments to hedge approximately 75% of the projected 2010 aluminum purchase requirements. During Q2 2009, the Company entered into derivative agreements to hedge approximately 75% of the projected 2011 aluminum purchase requirements.

The following summarizes Q2 2010 and Q2 2009 net gains and losses on the Company’s fuel and aluminum derivative financial instruments and the classification, either cost of sales or selling, delivery and administrative (“S,D&A) expenses, of such net gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations:

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, which are held in mutual funds, are based upon the quoted market value of the securities held within the mutual funds.

The fair values for the Company’s fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements are based on current settlement values. The fair values of the fuel hedging and aluminum hedging agreements at each balance sheet date represent the estimated amounts the Company would have received or paid upon termination of these agreements. Credit risk related to the derivative financial instruments is managed by requiring high standards for its counterparties and periodic settlements. The Company considers nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivative financial instruments.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s debt, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, and derivative financial instruments were as follows:

		July 4, 2010								January 3, 2010								June 28, 2009

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following table summarizes, by assets and liabilities, the valuation of the Company’s deferred compensation plan, aluminum hedging agreements and fuel hedging agreements:

		July 4, 2010								January 3, 2010								June 28, 2009

Aluminum hedging agreements							4,239								10,452								3,886
Liabilities
Deferred compensation plan liabilities			8,335								8,471								6,810

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain executives and other highly compensated employees. The investment assets are held in mutual funds. The fair value of the mutual funds is based on the quoted market value of the securities held within the funds (Level 1). The related deferred compensation liability represents the fair value of the investment assets.

The Company’s fuel hedging agreements are based upon NYMEX rates that are observable and quoted periodically over the full term of the agreement and are considered Level 2 items.

The Company’s aluminum hedging agreements are based upon LME rates that are observable and quoted periodically over the full term of the agreement and are considered Level 2 items.

The Company does not have Level 3 assets or liabilities. Also, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 for any of the periods presented.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

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

The Company guarantees a portion of SAC’s and Southeastern’s debt and lease obligations. The amounts guaranteed were $40.5 million, $30.5 million and $39.2 million as of July 4, 2010, January 3, 2010 and June 28, 2009, respectively. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with these guarantees and holds no assets as collateral against these guarantees. The guarantees relate to the debt and lease obligations of SAC and Southeastern, which resulted primarily from the purchase of production equipment and facilities. These guarantees expire at various dates 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 its 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 which adequately mitigate the risk of material loss from the Company’s guarantees. In the event either of these cooperatives fails to fulfill its commitments under the related debt and lease obligations, the Company would be responsible for payments to the lenders up to the level of the guarantees. If these cooperatives had borrowed up to their borrowing capacity, the Company’s maximum exposure under these guarantees on July 4, 2010 would have been $25.2 million for SAC and $25.3 million for Southeastern and the Company’s maximum total exposure, including its equity investment, would have been $30.8 million for SAC and $41.0 million for Southeastern.

The Company has been purchasing plastic bottles from Southeastern and finished products from SAC for more than ten years and has never had to pay against these guarantees.

The Company has an equity ownership in each of the entities in addition to the guarantees of certain indebtedness and records its investment in each under the equity method. As of July 4, 2010, SAC had total assets of approximately $47 million and total debt of approximately $22 million. SAC had total revenues for YTD 2010 of approximately $89 million. As of July 4, 2010, Southeastern had total assets of approximately $392 million and total debt of approximately $218 million. Southeastern had total revenue for YTD 2010 of approximately $287 million.

The Company has standby letters of credit, primarily related to its property and casualty insurance programs. On July 4, 2010, these letters of credit totaled $24.2 million. The Company was required to maintain $4.5 million of restricted cash for letters of credit beginning in Q2 2009 which was reduced to $3.5 million in Q2 2010.

The Company participates in long-term marketing contractual arrangements with certain prestige properties, athletic venues and other locations. The future payments related to these contractual arrangements as of July 4, 2010 amounted to $19.6 million and expire at various dates through 2018.

During May 2010, Nashville, Tennessee experienced a severe rain storm which caused extensive flood damage in the area. The Company has a production/sales distribution facility located in the flooded area. Due to damage incurred during this flood, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $.2 million on uninsured cold drink equipment. This loss was offset by gains of approximately $.8 million for the excess of insurance proceeds received as compared to the net book value of production equipment damaged as a result of the flood. In Q2 2010, the Company recorded a receivable of $6.2 million for insured losses of which $1.5 million has already been paid as of Q2 2010. The Company does not expect to incur any significant expenses related to the Nashville area flood for the remainder of 2010.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

15. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before income taxes, for YTD 2010 and YTD 2009 was 37.9% and 33.4%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense by the difference of income before income taxes minus net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest, for YTD 2010 and YTD 2009 was 40.4% and 34.4%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for YTD 2010 resulted primarily from an adjustment to the reserve for uncertain tax positions and the elimination of the tax deduction associated with Medicare Part D subsidy as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) enacted on March 23, 2010 and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (“Reconciliation Act”) enacted on March 30, 2010.

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

		First Half
In Thousands		2010				2009
Statutory expense		$	9,810			$	11,061

Tax law change related to Medicare Part D subsidy			464				—
Other, net			266				355
Income tax expense		$	11,326			$	10,885

The Company had $5.9 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.8 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized as of July 4, 2010. The Company had $5.6 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $3.5 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized as of January 3, 2010. The Company had $9.3 million of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of which $8.3 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized as of June 28, 2009. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

15. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of July 4, 2010, the Company had approximately $1.0 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of January 3, 2010, the Company had approximately $.9 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of June 28, 2009, the Company had approximately $1.9 million of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. Income tax expense included interest expense of approximately $.1 million in YTD 2010 and an interest credit of approximately $.6 million in YTD 2009.

The PPACA and the Reconciliation Act include provisions that will reduce the tax benefits available to employers that receive Medicare Part D subsidies. As a result, during Q1 2010, the Company recorded tax expense totaling $.5 million related to changes made to the tax deductibility of Medicare Part D subsidies.

In Q1 2009, the Company reached an agreement with a taxing authority to settle prior tax positions for which the Company had previously provided reserves due to uncertainty of resolution. As a result, the Company reduced the liability for uncertain tax positions by $1.7 million. The net effect of the adjustment was a decrease to income tax expense in YTD 2009 of approximately $1.7 million.

Various tax years from 1991 remain open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject due to loss carryforwards.

16. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss is comprised of adjustments relative to the Company’s pension and postretirement medical benefit plans, foreign currency translation adjustments required for a subsidiary of the Company that performs data analysis and provides consulting services outside the United States and the Company’s share of Southeastern’s other comprehensive loss.

No cash dividend or dividend of property or stock other than stock of the Company, as specifically described in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, may be declared and paid on the Class B Common Stock unless an equal or greater dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock. During YTD 2010 and YTD 2009, dividends of $.50 per share were declared and paid on both Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 20 votes per share at all meetings of stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters brought before the Company’s stockholders. In the event of liquidation, there is no preference between the two classes of common stock.

On May 12, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved a restricted stock award program 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. Under the award, shares of restricted stock were granted at a rate of 20,000 shares per year over a ten-year period. The vesting of each annual installment was 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 did not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividend or voting rights until each installment had vested and the shares were issued. The restricted stock award expired at the end of fiscal year 2008. On March 4, 2009, the Compensation Committee determined an additional 20,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock vested and such shares were issued to Mr. Harrison, III for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2008.

17. Capital Transactions

On April 29, 2008, the stockholders of the Company approved a Performance Unit Award Agreement for Mr. Harrison, III consisting of 400,000 performance units (“Units”). Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Units vest in annual increments over a ten-year period starting in fiscal year 2009. The number of Units that vest each year will equal the product of 40,000 multiplied by the overall goal achievement factor (not to exceed 100%) under the Company’s Annual Bonus Plan. The Performance Unit Award Agreement replaced the restricted stock award program.

Each annual 40,000 Unit 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 40,000 Unit tranche is considered to have its own service inception date, grant-date and requisite service period. The Company’s Annual Bonus Plan targets, which establish the performance requirements for the Performance Unit Award Agreement, are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in the first quarter of each year. The Performance Unit Award Agreement does not entitle Mr. Harrison, III to participate in dividends or voting rights until each installment has vested and the shares are issued. Mr. Harrison, III may satisfy tax withholding requirements in whole or in part by requiring the Company to settle in cash such number of Units otherwise payable in Class B Common Stock to meet the maximum statutory tax withholding requirements.

On March 9, 2010, the Compensation Committee determined that 40,000 Units vested for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2010. Of such Units, 22,320 were settled for 22,320 shares of Class B Common Stock and 17,680 were settled in cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of the Units.

Compensation expense for the Performance Unit Award Agreement recognized in YTD 2010 was $.9 million, which was based upon a share price of $46.24 on July 2, 2010. Compensation expense recognized in YTD 2009 was $1.2 million, which was based upon a share price of $58.18 on June 26, 2009.

On February 19, 2009, The Coca-Cola Company converted 497,670 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2010 was due to the issuance of the 22,320 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the Performance Unit Award Agreement. The increase in the total number of shares outstanding in YTD 2009 was due to the issuance of 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock related to the restricted stock award.

As a result of freezing the Company’s liability to Central States, the Company recorded a charge of $13.6 million in the second half of 2008. The Company paid $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 to the Southern States Savings and Retirement Plan under the agreement to freeze the Central States liability.
