ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company’s ‘‘disclosure controls and procedures’’ (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely making known to them material information relating to the
Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed
or submitted under the Exchange Act.
The report called for by Item 308(a) of Regulation S-K is incorporated herein by reference to Report of
Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, included in Part II, ‘‘Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data’’ of this report. During 2006, the Company acquired Kerry Beverages Limited
(subsequently renamed Coca-Cola China Industries Limited), Apollinaris GmbH and TJC Holdings (Pty) Ltd.
and began consolidating the operations of Brucephil, Inc. Refer to Note 19 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding these events. Management has excluded these businesses from
its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2006. The net operating revenues attributable to these businesses represented approximately 1.6 percent of the
Company’s consolidated net operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006, and their aggregate total
assets represented approximately 6.1 percent of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31,
2006.
The attestation report called for by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K is incorporated herein by reference to
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,
included in Part II, ‘‘Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data’’ of this report.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter
ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
