1 he Coca-Cola Company celebrated theCentennial of Coca-Cola in 1986 by achiev-ing record market shares, sales volumes,returns and profits, while augmenting theCompany's substantial portfolio of opportu-nities for growth in the future.
In 1986, the combination of the returnon equity reached and the per share earningsgrowth achieved was the best since 1936. Forthe year, return on average shareholders'equity from continuing operations increased5.3 points to 28.8 percent. Earnings per sharefrom continuing operations increased 41 per-cent to $2.42, and have grown at an averageannual rate of 16 percent since 1981.
Our strong operating performance in1986 was enhanced by approximately 35 centsper share as the net result of a pretax gain of$375 million resulting from the sale of stockby Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE) andone-time accounting provisions of 8180 mil-lion taken against earnings. These provisionsare related to the restructuring of our U.S. softdrink business and our decision to completethe disinvestment from South Africa.
Excellent performances from each of ourfour business sectors combined with favorablecurrency translation rates to generate a 16 percentincrease in operating income to $1.145 billion(after the one-time provisions of $180 million).
Total return on your investmentstockprice appreciation plus dividendswas 3 8 per-cent in 1986, following a 40 percent return in1985. Since 1981, the Company's average com-pounded annual total return on shareholderinvestment has been 30 percent.
CAPITALIZING ON OPPORTUNITIES
Our 100 years of prosperity, supported byseveral significant strategic actions in recentyears, have created a rich portfolio of oppor-tunities for The Coca-Cola Company. Thisportfolio includes our four business sectorsand their leadership positions, our innovativeuse of business structures and the resultingequity investments, and our financial resources.
The goal of exploiting these opportuni-ties to increase shareholder value always willbe challenging. However, by building on ourstrong foundation and investing for tomor-row's growth, we are confident that we willsuccessfully meet the challenges ahead.
Each of our four business sectors isoperating according to a well-defined plan.Each is moving forward in line with a broadstrategy to capitalize on its superior position-ing and expertise, while drawing from com-plementary corporate resources that bind thesectors into a single, powerful enterprise.

FLEXING OPERATIONAL STRENGTH
North America Soft Drink BusinessSector Our soft drink business in NorthAmerica developed tremendous momentumin 1986. Strong volume growth and reducedmarketing spending resulted in significantlyimproved operating results, although operat-ing income was reduced by the one-timeaccounting provisions previously noted.
Led by the excellent performance of theproducts of our Coca-Cola megabrand, theCompany captured a record share of morethan 39 percent of the US. soft drink industry.The 7 percent sales volume gain of our U.S.soft drinks accounted for more than 60 percentof the growth of the total US. soft drink mar-ket, which grew 5 percent in unit case volume.
In 1986, the combined volume of Coke,caffeine-free Coke, Coca-Cola classic andcherry Coke increased 5 percent, a result ofthe effort begun in 1985 to revitalize our sugarcolas. This volume gain represented more thanthree-fourths of the growth of the entire sugarcola category. While our sugar cola volumegrew 5 percent, all competing sugar colas com-bined had volume growth of only 1 percent.Additionally, volume for diet Coke increased14 percent, continuingthe remarkable growthof the world's premier one-calorie soft drink andthe third largest-selling soft drink of any kind inthe United States.
Our overall strategy is to continue tobuild on our strengths in product superiority,distribution, marketing and customer service,and to take advantage of new opportunities asthey arise.
International Soft Drink Business SectorThe key to volume growth and profitability inour international markets is growth in percapita soft drink consumption. The potentialappears limitless, and the Coca-Cola system isaggressively implementing programs designedto increase soft drink availability, affordability
and acceptability around the world.Our international soft drink business
experienced its most successful year in 1986.International sales volume grew by 12 percentin 1986, the strongest increase in seven years.Aided by a weakening dollar, internationaloperating income, even after the one-timeaccounting provision, increased in excess ofoverall corporate performance. In 1986, oper-ating income for the sector alone exceeded totaloperating income for the entire Company justfour years ago.
In most of our international markets,our objective is to increase the consumptionof soft drinks as a share of total beverage con-sumption. The double-digit volume gain ofeach of the last two years illustrates clearly thatwe are building a very positive growth trend.
Entertainment Business Sector TheCoca-Cola Company has firmly establisheditself as one of the world's leading producersand distributors of filmed entertainment. Ineach of the four full years we have been in theentertainment industry, that segment of ourbusiness has achieved more than a 30 percentgain in operating income. In addition, theCompany, through Coca-Cola Television, isone of the world's leading programming sup-pliers to the television industry.
Despite the success of The Karate KidPart II and Stand By Me, we were not satisfiedwith the performance of Columbia Pictures'feature films in 1986. Accordingly, we tooksignificant steps forward, including a changein leadership at the Columbia motion picturesstudio. We believe these steps will producebetter products, which will result in betterearnings in the years ahead.
As new technologies are developed andnew markets emerge for filmed entertainment,the Company is prepared for whatever direc-tion the consumer takes the industry. We areequipped with the programming, productioncapabilities, distribution systems, flexibility

and financial resources to continue as thisindustry's innovative leader.
Foods Business Sector Our foods busi-ness is anchored by Minute Maid orange juice,the leading product in the total orange juicemarket. Severe fluctuations in orange juiceprices slowed earnings growth in 1986. But asorange juice costs stabilize, we are confidentwe will again generate strong growth in oper-ating income.
The sector launched two new products,which in one year became leaders in theirrespective categories: Minute Maid FruitJuicee frozen snacks and Bacardi frozen con-centrated tropical fruit mixers. Additionalnew product successes are anticipated in 1987.
DEVELOPING INNOVATIVE BUSINESS STRUCTURES
The Company is continuing to leverage itsoperating achievements through the innova-tive use of new business structures.
The most visible and significant exampleof these structures in 1986 was our creation ofCoca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), the world'slargest soft drink bottling company, and theproducer and distributor of 38 percent of thetotal U.S. bottle/can volume for Companyproducts. Via a successful public offering,CCE sold 71.4 million shares of its commonstock last November and raised approximately$1.12 billion in equity.
Through CCE, we also achieved apermanent, independent ownership structurefor a significant portion of the U.S. Coca-Colabottling system. By owning 49 percent ofCCE's outstanding common stock, TheCoca-Cola Company maintains a significantinterest in the increasing value of the bottlingindustry, while CCE has established its owncapital structure as a freestanding company.
The Coca-Cola Company formed CCEto maximize the Company's volume growthpotential and financial returns. In partnershipwith CCE, we will continue to guide the stra-
" 4 ~
tegic direction of our U.S. bottling system toincrease distribution and marketing efficiencies.
We extended our structural innovationsinternationally by forming a joint venture withCadbury Schweppes. Coca-Cola & SchweppesBeverages Limited, a new company that is theleading marketer of soft drinks in Great Britain,is handling bottling, canning and distribution ofboth companies' products throughout thatimportant market.
In the entertainment arena, there is nobetter example of the use of innovative busi-ness structures than Tri-Star Pictures, Inc.,which we helped establish just four years agoand took public in 1985. The Coca-ColaCompany continues to own 30 percent ofTri-Star, which is a significant presence infilmed entertainment, as well as a strong con-tributor to our entertainment profits.
USING FINANCIAL LEVERAGE
Our financial resources, including a large cashflow, strong balance sheet and debt capacity,provide another important element in our port-folio of opportunities.
In late 1986, we announced the increasein our internal target net debt-to-capital ratioto 35 percent, providing more than $1 billionin additional financing capacity. Reflectingour confidence in the underlying strengths ofthis Company, we also launched a program torepurchase up to 10 million shares of ourcommon stock. And, to enhance further thegrowth prospects and long-term returns of theCompany's existing businesses, we plan togradually reduce over time the dividend pay-out ratio to 40 percent. Dividends will beincreased appropriately, but at a lesser ratethan our annual earnings growth.
DIVIDEND INCREASE AND BOARD MATTERS
For 25 consecutive years, your Board ofDirectors has approved dividend increases. At
-
its February 1987 meeting, the Board increasedthe quarterly dividend to 28 cents per share,equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.12per share.
At a special meeting last June, share-holders voted to split the Company's stockthree-for-one. Since 1981, the value of ourCompany's stock has quadrupled. The splitplaced the stock price in a range attractive toboth individual and institutional investors.
In accordance with Company bylaws,a distinguished member of our Board, JosephW.Jones, did not stand for re-election in 1986after six years on the Board. During his morethan 50 years with the Coca-Cola system andin close association with the late Robert W.Woodruff, Mr. Jones provided much wisdomto our enterprise. We are grateful for hismany contributions.
At the 94th Annual Meeting of Share-holders last April, shareholders elected as a newDirector Peter V. Ueberroth, Commissionerof Major League Baseball. We welcomeMr. Ueberroth to the Board. The Companywill benefit from his considerable experience.
SUCCEEDING THROUGH OUR WORK ETHIC
This Company is indeed blessed with talentedmen and women who give their time, theirminds and their hearts to the business. Theyput into their work that extra effort, spirit,enthusiasm and high morale which keep thisCompany the leader and sustain its traditionalhigh level of prosperity. Employees at TheCoca-Cola Company make excellence a wayof life. This will continue to be part of ourwork ethic in the increasingly demanding andcomplex future.
All of our associates at The Coca-ColaCompany join us in thanking our Board ofDirectors for its wise advice and counsel. Wealso thank you, our shareholders, for your sup-port, and take this opportunity to express ourpride in being employed by this great Company.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The potential of our enviable portfolio ofopportunities makes the future prospects ofThe Coca-Cola Company indeed bright.
Our "Strategy for the 1980s" has pro-duced record sales, earnings and returns. Lastyear's results confirm our management's beliefthat for planning to be successful, it must beopportunistic, and for a strategy to be effec-tive, it needs to be flexible. We look to thefuture, secure in our vision. We are assured ofour abilities to quickly seize opportunities asthey arise and to minimize the negativeimpact of adverse events that may occur out-side our control. We are confident in theeffectiveness of our strategies and are commit-ted to the long-term growth of the value ofThe Coca-Cola Company.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
Soft Drink Business Sectors
The Coca-Cola Company increasedits worldwide soft drink volume 10percent in 1986, and extended itsworldwide market share 1 point to43 percent.
Operating income of the twosoft drink business sectors grew 20 per-cent in 1986, to $1.017 billion. Thisgrowth resulted from strong volumegains both in North America and inter-nationally, favorable exchange ratecomparisons and a diminution in 1986of the heavy 1985 marketing invest-ments in North America.
Operating results from the twosoft drink business sectors increasedstrongly in 1986, but were moderated by
North America Soft DrinkBusiness Sector
The North America Soft Drink Busi-ness Sector outperformed the overallsoft drink industry and its primarycompetitor as it strengthened its lead-ership in every major soft drink seg-ment in 1986. The outstanding market-ing achievements included several firstsin the United States: Company soft drinkproducts represented five of the top10-selling soft drinks; Coca-Cola classic
claimed the position of the best-sellingsoft drink product; Sprite became thebest-selling lemon-lime soft drink; andcaffeine-free diet Coke became the best-selling caffeine-free cola. Meanwhile,diet Coke, the third best-selling softdrink of any kind in the United States,further tightened its leadership grip ofthe one-calorie segment.
The excellent performance ofsugar colas in 1986 helped drive anoverall 7 percent volume increase for

the sector that contributed to strongoperating results, although operatingincome was reduced by the one-timeaccounting provisions noted above.
Looking ahead, the sector willcontinue its emphasis on a superiorproduct line and excellent marketingprograms for all distribution channels.
Aggressive marketing and economicimprovement in key markets led theInternational Soft Drink BusinessSector to its most successful year everand its second successive year ofdouble-digit volume growth. Morethan 60 percent of the Company'stotal soft drink volume originatedfrom international markets in 1986.
The sector benefited from aweakening dollar and achievedoperating income growth (after theone-time accounting provision) sig-nificantly stronger than the operatingincome growth for the Company asa whole.
The sector is poised for contin-ued volume growth and increasedprofitability. The sector's strategy isto increase the international per capitaconsumption of Company soft drinksby increasing their availability, afford-ability and acceptability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Coca-Cola Company and Subsidiaries
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES. The major accounting policies andpractices followed by the Company and its subsidiaries are asfollows:
Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements includethe accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries except forCoca-Cola Financial Corporation (CCFC). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consoli-dation. CCFC, a wholly owned finance subsidiary, initiatedoperations in 1984 and is accounted for under the equity method.CCFC's operations for 1986, 1985 and 1984 were not significantto the consolidated financial statements.
Inventories and Film Costs, Inventories are valued at thelower of cost or market method. In general, inventories arevalued on the basis of average cost or first-in, first-out (FIFO)methods. However, certain soft drink and citrus inventories arevalued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The excess ofcurrent costs over LIFO stated values amounted to approxi-mately $23 million and $32 million at December 31, 1986 and1985, respectively.
Film costs include film production, print, prerelease andother advertising costs expected to benefit future periods,accrued profit participations and capitalized interest. The indi-vidual film forecast method is used to amortize these costs basedon the revenues recognized in proportion to management'sestimate of ultimate revenues to be received. Based on the Com-pany's estimate of revenues as of December 31, 1986, approxi-mately 75 percent of unamortized film costs are expected to beamortized over the next three years.
The costs of feature and television films are classified ascurrent assets to the extent such costs are expected to be recov-ered through the respective primary markets; remaining costsrelating to film production are classified as concurrent.
Revenues from theatrical exhibition of feature films arerecognized on the dates of exhibition. Revenues from televisionlicensing agreements are recognized when films are available fortelecasting. Cash collected in advance of the time of availabilityis recorded as deferred entertainment revenue. Motion picturerevenues are derived from the following markets: domestic andforeign theater, home video, pay television, network televisionand independent broadcast television. The Company's averagerevenue recognition cycle for motion pictures is approximatelyseven years.
Property, Plant and Equipment- Property, plant and equip-ment is stated at cost, less allowance for depreciation, except thatforeign subsidiaries carry bottles and shells in service at amounts(less than cost) that generally correspond with deposit pricesobtained from customers. Depreciation expense is determinedprincipally by the straight-line method. The annual rates ofdepreciation are 2 percent to 10 percent for buildings and improve-ments and 7 percent to 34 percent for machinery and equip-ment. Available investment tax credits have been accounted forby the flow-through method.
Capitalized Interest: Interest capitalized as part of the cost ofacquisition, construction or production of major assets (includ-ing film costs) was $22 million, $34 million and $26 million in1986, 1985 and 1984, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill and otherintangible assets are stated on the basis of cost and, if acquiredsubsequent to October 31, 1970, are being amortized, princi-pally on a straight-line basis, over the estimated future periods tobe benefited (not exceeding 40 years). Accumulated amortiza-tion amounted to $63 million and $65 million at December 31,1986 and 1985, respectively.

3 . INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES To AFFILIATED COMPANIES.On September 12, 1986, the Company transferred the operatingassets of substantially all previously owned and recently acquiredbottling companies in the United States to Coca-Cola EnterprisesInc. (Enterprises), a wholly owned subsidiary. In connection withthese transactions, Enterprises assumed approximately $233 millionof debt incurred by the Company in conjunction with certain ofthe acquisitions. In addition, in September 1986, Enterprises acquiredthe Coca-Cola bottling companies controlled by John T. Luptonand his family and the soft drink bottling operations of BCIHoldings Corporation (the successor to The Beatrice Companies,Inc.) and the remaining interest in The Detroit Bottling Company,Inc. for an aggregate cost of approximately $2.25 billion; theseacquisitions were funded with borrowings under a credit agree-
ment entered into by Enterprises with a syndicate of banks. TheCompany is not a party to the credit agreement and has notguaranteed any of the borrowings thereunder.
On November 21, 1986, Enterprises sold 71 .4 million sharesof its unissued common stock for net proceeds of approximately$ 1.12 billion. This transaction reduced the Company's ownershipinterest to 49 percent and resulted in a pretax gain of $375 million.Consistent with its reduced ownership interest, the Companyhas commenced reporting its investment in Enterprises under theequity method of accounting. The consolidated financial state-ments have been restated to reflect Enterprises under the equitymethod of accounting for all periods presented. The restate-ment had no effect on shareholders' equity, income from con-tinuing operations, net income or related per share amounts.

9. PENSION PLANS. The Company and its subsidiaries sponsorand/or contribute to various pension plans covering substan-tially all U.S. employees and certain employees in non-US.locations. Pension expense for continuing operations determinedunder various actuarial cost methods, principally the aggregatelevel cost method, amounted to approximately $ 31 million in1986, $35 million in 1985 and $30 million in 1984. Pension costsare generally funded currently.
The actuarial present value of accumulated benefits, asestimated by consulting actuaries, and net assets available forbenefits of Company and subsidiary-sponsored plans in theUnited States are presented below (in thousands):January I, 1986 1985
Actuarial present value ofaccumulated plan benefits:

$292,771Net assets available for benefits $398,931
$237,016$323,989
The weighted average assumed rates of return used indetermining the actuarial present value of accumulated planbenefits were approximately 8 percent for 1986 and 9 percentfor 1985. This change in the assumed rate of return and a planamendment increased the actuarial present value of accumulatedplan benefits by approximately $48 million at January 1, 1986,and decreased 1986 pension expense by approximately $7 million.
