Operating profit increased $42 million primarily due to the higher concentrate pricing and Aquafina royalties. These increases were partially offset by the increased customer support, higher advertising and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, and a first quarter charge related to a customer bankruptcy. Advertising and marketing expenses grew at a slower rate than sales, while general and administrative expenses grew at a significantly faster rate. The higher general and administrative expense is a result of building the concentrate company infrastructure.
Reported net sales increased $10 million. This increase was primarily due to higher effective net pricing and volume gains, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily in Germany, reduced net sales by 3 percentage points.
BCS increased 5%. This increase reflects strong double digit growth in China, a strong volume recovery in Russia, solid growth in Mexico coupled with double-digit growth in Brazil and Egypt. From June through August, total concentrate shipments to franchisees, including those wholly-owned bottlers in which we own an equity interest, grew 2% while their BCS grew at a higher rate.
Operating profit increased $11 million primarily reflecting the higher effective net pricing and volume gains, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Reported net sales increased $92 million. Before the elimination of intercompany concentrate sales, net sales increased $70 million. This increase was primarily due to volume gains and higher effective net pricing, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily in Germany, reduced net sales by 3 percentage points.
BCS increased 6%. This reflects broad-based increases led by strong volume recovery in Russia, double digit growth in China and solid growth in Mexico. Through August, total concentrate shipments to franchisees, including those previously wholly-owned bottlers in which we own an equity interest, grew 4% while their BCS grew at a higher rate.
Operating profit increased $33 million primarily reflecting the higher effective net pricing and volume gains, partially offset by higher advertising and marketing expenses, higher general and administrative expenses and net unfavorable foreign currency impact.

Net sales increased $30 million due primarily to volume gains in the U.S. partially offset by lower effective net pricing primarily as a result of higher trade spending, and a net unfavorable foreign currency impact. The net unfavorable foreign currency impact, primarily in Europe, reduced net sales by 1 percentage point.
Equivalent case volume grew 9%, led by continued double-digit worldwide growth in Pure Premium. Pure Premium growth continues to be driven by double-digit growth in nutritionals and blends, as well as the expanded distribution of the Pure Premium 128 ounce product. Tropicana Twister also contributed to this volume growth.
Operating profit increased $9 million primarily due to favorable production leverage, including lower orange juice costs, and the volume gains. These increases were partially offset by the higher trade spending and increased media spending and consumer promotions.
36 Weeks
Net sales increased $83 million due to volume gains in the U.S. and in Europe partially offset by lower effective net pricing primarily as a result of higher trade spending, and a net unfavorable foreign currency impact.

Cash Flows
We generated $2.1 billion from operating activities in the 36 weeks ended September 2, 2000 which was primarily used for accelerating the share repurchase program, long-term debt payments, dividend payments and capital spending.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain $1.5 billion of revolving credit facilities. Of the $1.5 billion, $600 million expires in June 2001. The remaining $900 million expires in June 2005. The credit facilities exist largely to support issuances of short-term debt. Annually, these facilities can be extended an additional year upon the mutual consent of PepsiCo and the lending institutions.
Our strong cash-generating capability and financial condition give us ready access to capital markets throughout the world.
EURO
During 1999, 11 of 15 member countries of the European Union fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies (legacy currencies) and one common currency-the EURO. The euro trades on currency exchanges and may be used in business transactions. Conversion to the euro eliminated currency exchange rate risk between the member countries. Beginning in January 2002, new EURO-denominated bills and coins will be issued, and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation. Our operating subsidiaries affected by the euro conversion have established plans to address the issues raised by the euro currency conversion. These issues include, among others, the need to adapt computer and financial systems, business processes and equipment, such as vending machines, to accommodate EURO-denominated transactions, and the impact of one common currency on pricing. Since financial systems and processes currently accommodate multiple currencies, the plans contemplate conversion in 2001 if not already addressed in conjunction with other system or process initiatives. We do not expect the system and equipment conversion costs to be material. Due to numerous uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the long-term effects one common currency will have on pricing and the resulting impact, if any, on financial condition or results of operations.

Independent Accountants’ Review Report
The Board of Directors
PepsiCo, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 2, 2000 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 2, 2000 and September 4, 1999, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 2, 2000 and September 4, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.‘s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 25, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 9, 2000, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 25, 1999, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
