                           COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC.
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
BUSINESS AND OWNERSHIP
 
     The Company operates in a single industry segment, which encompasses the
manufacture, distribution and marketing of liquid nonalcoholic refreshments
under rights to acquired franchise territories. The Coca-Cola Company owns
approximately 44% of the Company's outstanding common shares.
 
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Significant accounting policies and practices of the Company follow:
 
     Basis of Presentation:  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
     The fiscal years presented are the fiscal periods ended December 31, 1993,
1992 and 1991. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to
conform to the current year presentation.
 
     Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:  Net income (loss) per common share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) less dividends on preferred stock by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
 
     Cash Equivalents:  Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with original maturities of less than three months.
 
     Concentrations of Credit Risk:  The Company sells products to chain store
and other customers and extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's
financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses
on receivables varies by customer principally due to the financial condition of
each customer. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains
allowances for anticipated losses.
 
     Inventories:  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost
is computed principally on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
 
     Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and equipment is stated at
cost, less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation expense is determined
principally by the straight-line method. The annual rates of depreciation are 3%
to 5% for buildings and improvements and 7% to 34% for machinery and equipment.
The Company capitalizes, as land improvements, certain environmental remediation
costs which improve the condition of the property as compared to the condition
when constructed or acquired.
 
     Franchise Assets:  The Company operates under franchise agreements with The
Coca-Cola Company and certain other licensors of beverage products. These
agreements establish performance obligations as to production, distribution and
marketing arrangements. The majority of such agreements are perpetual in nature
and reflect a long and ongoing relationship with The Coca-Cola Company and other
franchisors. The Company has one nonperpetual franchise agreement with The
Coca-Cola Company covering our Netherlands operations. This is a result of the
fact that The Coca-Cola Company's franchises outside of the United States are
not perpetual.
 
     Given the Company's historical relationship with The Coca-Cola Company and
The Coca-Cola Company's equity ownership of approximately 44% in the Company,
management of the Company believes this agreement will continue to be renewed
upon expiration and that the economic period of benefit is ongoing. Franchise
assets, stated at cost, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
 

   7
 
                           COCA-COLA ENTERPRISES INC.
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
maximum allowed estimated periods to be benefitted (principally 40 years).
Accumulated amortization amounted to $738 million and $577 million at December
31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
 
     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:  In the event facts and circumstances
suggest that the cost of franchise assets or other assets may be impaired, an
assessment of recoverability would be performed. If the estimated future cash
flows associated with an asset were less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an impairment write-down to a market value or discounted cash flow value would
be required.
 
     Foreign Currency:  The Company uses the local currency of Dutch florins as
the functional currency of its Netherlands operations. Accordingly, assets and
liabilities of the Netherlands subsidiary are translated into dollars at the
rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items
are translated at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
The cumulative translation adjustment is included in a separate component of
share-owners' equity.
 
     Hedging Instruments:  The Company is party to a variety of interest rate
swaps, short positions in interest rate futures and foreign currency option
contracts in the management of interest rate and foreign currency exposures. The
interest differential related to interest rate swap agreements is recognized as
an adjustment of interest expense. Foreign currency options were not significant
at December 31, 1993. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on all financial
instruments designated and effective as hedges of interest rate exposure are
deferred and recognized as increases or decreases to interest expense over the
periods the hedged liabilities are outstanding.
 
     Marketing Costs:  The Company participates in various advertising and
marketing programs, some with The Coca-Cola Company. Certain costs incurred in
connection with these programs are reimbursed by The Coca-Cola Company. All
unreimbursed costs related to marketing and advertising the Company's products
are expensed in the period incurred.
 
     Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions:  In 1992, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 ("FAS 106"), a method of
accounting for postretirement benefits by accrual of the costs of such benefits
during the periods employees provide service to the Company. The Company
previously accounted for such costs as expense when incurred. The effect on
years prior to 1992, representing that portion of future retiree benefit costs
related to past service of both active and retired employees at the date of
adoption, has been reported as the cumulative effect of an accounting change and
such prior periods have not been restated.
 
     Income Taxes:  In 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method under Accounting Principles Board
Statement No. 11 to the liability method by adopting Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FAS 109"). Financial statements for periods prior
to 1992 have not been restated for the effects of adopting FAS 109. The effect
on prior years of adopting FAS 109 has been reported as the cumulative effect of
an accounting change. FAS 109 requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets
be established based on the difference between the financial statement and
income tax bases of assets and liabilities using existing tax rates.
 
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
 
     The Company has the right to produce, distribute and market the soft drink
products of The Coca-Cola Company and/or other soft drink products in the
territories of acquired operations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the
results of operations of acquired companies are included in the consolidated
statements of operations of the Company as of their acquisition date. The assets
and liabilities of acquired companies are included in the Company's consolidated

balance sheet at their estimated fair values on date of purchase based on a
preliminary allocation of the purchase price.
 
     On June 30, 1993, the Company acquired, from The Coca-Cola Company, the
stock of (i) Coca-Cola Beverages Nederland B.V. in the Netherlands ("CCBN");
(ii) Roddy Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Inc. ("Roddy") in Knoxville, Tennessee;
and (iii) Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Johnson City ("JC"), in Johnson City,
Tennessee for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $366 million in cash
and assumed debt. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method.
 
     In December 1991, the Company acquired the Johnston Coca-Cola Bottling
Group, Inc. ("Johnston"), the second largest bottler of soft drink products of
The Coca-Cola Company in the United States. Johnston's territories, with a
population estimated at approximately 28 million or 11% of the U.S. population,
were located principally in the Midwestern United States. All of the outstanding
Johnston common stock was acquired in exchange for the issuance from treasury of
13.438 million shares of the Company's common stock and the payment of
approximately $196 million in cash in a transaction accounted for under the
purchase method.
 
     Assuming the Johnston bottling operations had been acquired as of January
1, 1991, and the CCBN/Roddy/JC acquisition occurred as of January 1, 1992,
unaudited pro forma results of operations are as follows (in millions except per
share amounts):

preacquisition period of 1993; (ii) repayment of assumed debt; (iii)
amortization of the franchise assets acquired in the acquisition; and (iv) the
income tax effect of such pro forma adjustments.
 
     The foregoing also reflects adjustments for the Johnston acquisition to
give effect to (i) interest expense on acquisition financing at an estimated
annual interest rate of 8.4%; (ii) issuance from treasury of 13.438 million
shares of the Company's common stock; (iii) amortization of the franchise asset;
(iv) the effect of adjusting debt assumed from Johnston for terms anticipated
for such debt to remain outstanding and to an effective annual interest rate of
approximately 7.8%; (v) elimination of the gain recognized by the Company from
the sale of its Ohio operations to Johnston in June 1990; and (vi) the income
tax effect of such pro forma adjustments.
 
     Also in separate transactions in 1993, the Company acquired bottling
operations in Arkansas and an architectural design and facility engineering
company. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions, accounted for
under the purchase method, approximated $60 million in common stock, preferred
stock and debt.
 
     In separate transactions in 1992, the Company acquired bottling operations
in Quincy, Illinois; Manchester, Georgia; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Laredo, Texas.
The aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions, accounted for under the
purchase method, approximated $40 million in cash and debt.
 
     In separate transactions in 1991, the Company acquired bottling operations
in Ukiah, California; Jasper, Texas; Westminster, Annapolis and Cambridge,
Maryland; and Dover, Delaware. The aggregate purchase price of these
acquisitions, accounted for under the purchase method, approximated $55 million
in cash and debt. Also in 1991, the Company sold its right to produce,
distribute and market Dr Pepper and Barq's soft drinks in Jackson, Tennessee for
approximately $3 million, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $1
million.

     Maturities of long-term debt for the five fiscal years subsequent to
December 31, 1993, are as follows (in millions): 1994 -- $308; 1995 -- $263;
1996 -- $558; 1997 -- $555; and 1998 -- $10.
 
     The Company's commercial paper program is supported by a $1 billion
revolving bank credit agreement maturing in April 1996 and two short-term credit
facilities. There are no borrowings outstanding under these agreements; however,
under the commercial paper program supported by these agreements, an aggregate
$522 million was outstanding at December 31, 1993. The weighted average interest
rates of borrowings under the commercial paper program were approximately 3.2%
and 3.8% for 1993 and 1992, respectively.
 
     Terms of the revolving bank credit agreement and/or the outstanding notes
and debentures include various provisions which, among other things, require the
Company to (i) maintain a defined leverage ratio and (ii) limit the incurrence
of certain liens or encumbrances in excess of defined amounts. None of these
restrictions are presently significant to the Company.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     The Company has outstanding certain interest rate swap agreements with
financial institutions. At December 31, 1993, these interest rate swap
agreements change (i) $150 million of the floating rate exposure on commercial
paper to fixed rate exposure and (ii) $500 million of the fixed rate exposure on
the $250 million 8% debentures due 2022 and $250 million of the $750 million
8.5% debentures due 2022 to floating rate exposure. All of the above interest
rate swap agreements were in force at the beginning of 1993 except for the swap
agreement related to the $250 million outstanding on the 8% debentures due 2022.
These swap agreements expire in varying periods from 1994 through 1996, but may
extend through 2023 depending upon interest rates at the initial expiration
date.
 
     In addition, the Company has certain Eurodollar futures contracts with
financial institutions which hedge its floating rate exposure on the interest
rate swap agreements. At December 31, 1993, the Eurodollar futures cover the
following periods: (i) $250 million from December 1993 through September 1994
and (ii) $250 million from March 1994 through June 1996. The adjustment to
market of these Eurodollar futures contracts aggregate unrecognized losses of $5
million as of December 31, 1993. These unrecognized amounts will be decreased or
increased, as appropriate, to the final settlement date of each contract, at
which time amounts will be amortized over the ensuing contract period.
 
     Activities under interest rate swap agreements and Eurodollar futures
contracts have resulted in a decrease in interest expense for 1993 of
approximately $7 million. The Company is exposed to credit losses for periodic
settlements of amounts due under interest rate swaps; however, amounts due under
these agreements were not significant at December 31, 1993.
 
LEASES
 
     The Company leases office and warehouse space, computer hardware, and
machinery and equipment under lease agreements which expire at various dates
through 2019. At December 31, 1993, future minimum lease payments under
noncancellable operating leases aggregate approximately $44 million. Rent
expense was approximately $25 million, $25 million and $24 million during 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     In connection with the 1993 acquisition of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company
of Northeast Arkansas, Inc., the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of nonvoting
convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $35 per share. Each share is
convertible into one share of common stock at any time at the option of the
holder. The preferred stock may be called by the Company at any time for cash
equal to its stated value plus accrued dividends. The preferred stock pays
cumulative cash dividends of 3% per annum for the first five years, 4.29% per
annum for the following five years, adjusting to an annual rate equal to LIBOR
plus 1% thereafter. Adjustment of the stated value of the preferred stock to its
estimated fair value of approximately $29 million results in an annual dividend
cost of approximately 6%.
 
     During 1991, the Company redeemed all of its then existing nonvoting
variable dividend rate preferred stock at book value.
 
SHARE REPURCHASE
 
     During 1993, the Company repurchased 1,153,900 shares of its common stock
on the open market for an aggregate cost of approximately $17 million. The
repurchased shares represent

additions to treasury stock and are intended, among other things, to replenish
an aggregate 400,000 treasury shares issued to effect an acquisition during
1993.
 
STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK PLANS
 
     The Company's 1992 Restricted Stock Award Plan ("the 1992 Plan") provides
for awards to certain officers and other key employees of the Company of up to
an aggregate 1.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. The 1986
Restricted Stock Award Plan ("the 1986 Plan") provides for awards to certain
officers and other key employees of the Company of up to an aggregate 1 million
shares of the Company's common stock. Awards under both plans vest (i) when a
participant dies, retires or becomes disabled; (ii) when the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors elects, in its sole discretion, to remove
certain restrictions; or, with regard to the 1992 Plan, (iii) based on the
attainment of certain market price levels of the Company's stock. Such awards
also entitle the participant to full dividend and voting rights. Shares awarded
under both plans are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture
under certain circumstances. The market value of the shares at the date of grant
is charged to operations ratably over the vesting periods.
 
     In 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated the 1986 Plan,
canceling the remaining 476,000 shares under this plan available for grant.
Restricted shares issued under the 1992 Plan, totalling 22,400 shares were
forfeited in 1993 and returned to treasury. Further information relating to
restricted stock awards follows:

     The Company's 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), provides
for the granting of nonqualified stock options to officers and certain key
employees. The Stock Option Plan provides that options for 3 million shares of
the Company's common stock may be granted prior to the plan's expiration in
1996. The Company's 1990 Management Stock Option Plan (the "Management Option
Plan") provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options to certain key
employees. The Management Option Plan provides that options for 2 million shares
of the Company's common stock may be granted. Options awarded under the Stock
Option Plan and the Management Option Plan (i) are generally granted at prices
which equate to or are above fair market value on the date of grant; (ii) become
exercisable over either a three or four year period; and (iii) expire ten years
subsequent to award.

     On initial offering of stock to the public, each of the seven directors who
was not an officer of the Company or The Coca-Cola Company was awarded options
to acquire up to 1,500 shares of common stock and certain officers of the
Company were granted options to purchase 245,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at $16.50 per share (the initial public offering price). Since that time,
new directors, upon election, who were not an officer of the Company or The
Coca-Cola Company were awarded options to acquire up to 1,500 shares of common
stock at $16.50 per share. Options to purchase 198,000 shares under this plan
have subsequently been canceled, and 15,000 options have been exercised.
Currently exercisable options with rights totaling 45,500 shares remain
outstanding and will expire in November 1996.
 
     In 1991, the Company adopted the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the "SAR
Plan") which provides for the award of an aggregate 1 million stock appreciation
rights ("units") to qualified participants prior to the SAR Plan's expiration in
1996. Each unit entitles the holder to receive cash based on the difference
between the market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of
award and the fair market value of such stock on the date of exercise. Included
in stock appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 1993 are various units
awarded under a prior plan with similar terms. In 1992, units available for
future grants under all stock appreciation rights plans were terminated.

PENSION AND CERTAIN BENEFIT PLANS
 
     The Company sponsors various pension plans and participates in certain
multiemployer pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees. The
benefits related to company-sponsored plans are based on years of service and
compensation earned during years of employment. The Company's funding policy is
to contribute amounts to the plans sufficient to meet the minimum funding
requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
plus such

additional amounts as management may determine to be appropriate but within
applicable legal limits. These qualified defined benefit plans sponsored by the
Company are insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). The
Company also sponsors several unfunded nonqualified defined benefit plans
covering certain officers and other employees.
 
     Total pension expense amounted to approximately $19 million (including $6
million for multiemployer plans) in 1993 and 1992, and $14 million (including $5
million for multiemployer plans) in 1991.

     The weighted average discount rate utilized in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation as of the respective valuation
dates was 7.5% and 8.25% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The weighted average
rate of increase in future compensation was 5.5% and 6%

in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on plan
assets was 8.5%, 9.5% and 9% in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
 
     CCBN participates in a multiemployer pension plan covering a majority of
its employees. CCBN also sponsors a supplemental defined benefit plan for
certain employees. At December 31, 1993, the accumulated benefit obligation for
the supplemental plan was $9 million, the projected benefit obligation was $17
million and plan assets were $17 million. CCBN also sponsors an unfunded
voluntary early retirement plan for certain employees allowing early retirement
at age 60. At December 31, 1993, the accumulated benefit obligation, which has
been fully accrued, was $5 million and the projected benefit obligation was $6
million.
 
     In addition to the defined benefit plans described above, the Company also
sponsors a qualified defined contribution plan covering all full-time nonunion
employees in the United States. The Company matches 50% of a participant's
voluntary contributions up to a maximum of 6% of a participant's compensation.
The Company's contribution expense was approximately $10 million in 1993 and
1992, and $9 million in 1991.
 
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
 
     The Company sponsors various unfunded defined benefit postretirement plans
that provide health care and life insurance benefits to substantially all
nonunion and certain union retirees who retire with a minimum period of service.
Adoption of FAS 106 during 1992 changed the Company's method of accounting for
such postretirement benefits as an expense when claims were incurred to accrual
of the costs of such benefits during the periods employees provide service to
the Company.
 
     The Company immediately recognized the transition obligation of adopting
FAS 106. The effect on years prior to 1992 of adopting FAS 106, representing
that portion of unrecognized future retiree benefit costs related to past
service of both active and retired employees as of the date of adoption, has
been reported as the cumulative effect of an accounting change and prior periods
have not been restated. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 106 as of January
1, 1992 decreased net income by approximately $148 million (net of income taxes
of $91 million) or $1.15 per common share.
 
     In the first quarter of 1993, the Company completed the redesign and
consolidation of its postretirement benefit plans by amending the plans then in
effect. The effect of plan amendments was to decrease the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation at January 1, 1993 from approximately $312
million to $164 million, resulting in $148 million of excess prior service cost,
and to reduce the full-year 1993 postretirement benefits expense by
approximately $31 million. The excess prior service cost is being amortized over
the average service life of plan participants, approximately 17 years.

     Actuarial assumptions used in determining the postretirement benefit cost
and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation include a discount rate of
7.5% and 8.5% and an average rate of increase in future compensation of 5.5% and
6%, in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The assumed weighted average annual rate of
increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (the health care cost trend
rate) was 15% pre-Medicare and 11% post-Medicare for 1993 and 1992, decreasing
to 6% by the year 2052 and remaining at that level thereafter. However, the
postretirement benefit plan, as amended effective January 1, 1993, is a "defined
dollar benefit plan" which limits the effect of medical inflation to a maximum
of 4% per year after 1996. Because the amended postretirement medical plan has
established dollar limits for determining company contributions, the effect of a
1% increase in the assumed health care cost trend rates is not significant.
 
PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING
 
     The Company recognized in the fourth quarter of 1991 a $152 million ($0.86
per common share) provision for restructuring related primarily to the
standardization of information systems, reconfiguration of sales and
distribution centers, and severance and relocation costs associated with
decentralizing the Company's organizational structure and eliminating redundant
staff and operating positions.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
     On August 10, 1993, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act was signed into
law. The Company was affected principally by the increase in the corporate
marginal income tax rate from 34% to 35%. Under FAS 109, the Company's deferred
income taxes were adjusted to reflect the effect of the new rate. This
adjustment resulted in a one-time charge of approximately $40 million ($0.31 per
common share) to increase the Company's deferred tax liability existing at the
date of enactment for the effect of the rate change. Additionally, the Company's
annual estimated effective tax rate was

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
increased by an amount approximating the 1% marginal rate increase. Other
components of the new law are not expected to have a material impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
 
     Application of FAS 109 decreases pretax income and decreases income tax
expense in both 1992 and 1993 by approximately $38 million as a result of
amortization of the increased franchise asset. This increased amortization
results from the requirement to report assets acquired in prior business
combinations at their pretax amounts, eliminating the impact of nondeductible
amortization from the computation of income tax expense under the new accounting
standard.
 
     During 1987, the Company filed elections under Section 338 of the Internal
Revenue Code, relating to various bottling companies acquired in 1986. Tax
operating loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $943 million have arisen
principally from the additional tax deductions resulting from such elections.
These carryforwards are available to offset future federal taxable income
through their expiration in varying amounts aggregating $5 million in 1996
through 1998; $279 million in 1999 through 2003; and $659 million in 2004
through 2008.
 
     A deferred tax asset is recognized for the tax benefit of deductible
temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A
valuation allowance is recognized if it is "more likely than not" that some or
all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management believes that the
future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences provides evidence that
the majority of deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance of
$105 million, $86 million and $77 million as of December 31, 1993, 1992 and
January 1, 1992, respectively, was established for the remaining deferred tax
assets. Upon realization, the tax benefit for net operating loss carryforwards
of acquired companies for which a valuation allowance has been established will
be applied to reduce recorded franchise values. Net operating loss carryforwards
of acquired companies were approximately $59 million at December 31, 1993.
 
     Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income
tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities
and assets as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 are as follows (in millions):

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair values for financial instruments:
 
     Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amount reported in the balance
sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
 
     Long-term debt:  The carrying amounts of commercial paper, variable rate
debt and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values. The fair
values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.
 
     Hedging instruments and warrants:  The fair values of the Company's futures
contracts are estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable contracts or
current settlement values. The fair values of the Company's interest rate swaps
and warrants are estimated based on independent valuations from major investment
banks.
 
     The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's financial instruments
at December 31, 1993 are as follows (in millions):

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company and The Coca-Cola Company have entered into various
transactions and agreements related to their respective businesses. Various
significant transactions and agreements entered into between the Company and The
Coca-Cola Company are disclosed in other sections of

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
the accompanying financial statements and related notes. The following items
represent other transactions between the Company and The Coca-Cola Company, and
its affiliates:
 
     Acquisition:  The Coca-Cola Company had an approximate 20% ownership
interest in Johnston. As a result of the acquisition in 1991, The Coca-Cola
Company received 49,892 shares of the Company's common stock and $81 million in
cash, reducing The Coca-Cola Company's ownership in the outstanding common stock
of the Company from approximately 49% to approximately 44%.
 
     Fountain Syrup and Package Product Sales:  Certain of the Company's
operations sell fountain syrup to The Coca-Cola Company and deliver this syrup
on behalf of The Coca-Cola Company to certain major or national accounts of The
Coca-Cola Company. In addition, the Company sells bottle/can products to The
Coca-Cola Company at prices that equate to amounts charged by the Company to its
major customers. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, The Coca-Cola Company paid the
Company approximately $220 million, $193 million and $138 million, respectively,
for fountain syrups, bottle/can products and delivery and billing services.
 
     Antitrust Indemnity Agreement:  During 1991, The Coca-Cola Company paid the
Company approximately $1 million, pursuant to an agreement which indemnifies the
Company for certain costs, settlements and fines arising out of alleged
antitrust violations which occurred prior to the acquisition of certain bottlers
by the Company. The indemnity period expired January 1, 1993.
 
     Marketing Support Arrangements:  The Coca-Cola Company engages in a variety
of marketing programs, local media advertising and other similar arrangements to
promote the sale of products of The Coca-Cola Company in territories operated by
the Company. For 1993, 1992 and 1991, total direct marketing support provided to
the Company or on behalf of the Company by The Coca-Cola Company was
approximately $256 million, $253 million and $199 million, respectively. In
addition, the Company paid an additional $65 million, $63 million and $45
million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, for local media and marketing
program expense pursuant to a cooperative advertising arrangement with The
Coca-Cola Company.
 
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     The Company is contingently liable for guarantees of the indebtedness owed
primarily by manufacturing cooperatives of approximately $43 million at December
31, 1993.
 
     Under the Company's insurance programs, coverage is obtained for
catastrophic exposures as well as those risks required to be insured by law or
contract. Generally, the Company is self-insured for certain expected losses
related primarily to workers' compensation, physical loss to property, business
interruption resulting from such loss and comprehensive general, product and
vehicle liability. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are
recorded based upon the Company's estimates of the aggregate liability for
claims incurred. Such estimates utilize certain actuarial assumptions followed
in the insurance industry. The Company has provided letters of credit
aggregating approximately $104 million in connection with self-insurance
programs.
 
     The Company has purchase agreements with various suppliers extending beyond
one year. Subject to the supplier's quality and performance, the purchases
covered by these agreements aggregate approximately $527 million in 1994, $529
million in 1995, $502 million in 1996, $508 million in 1997 and $103 million in
1998.
 
     Federal, state and local laws govern the Company's operation of underground
fuel storage tanks and the required removal, replacement or modification of such
tanks to satisfy regulations which go into effect in varying stages through
1998. Expenditures aggregating $9 million, $8 million

and $25 million were made in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, in a structured
program designed to enhance compliance with such regulations including
regulations governing the environmental discharge of materials. The Company has
completed a majority of its multiyear program for remediation of environmental
contamination. Completion of the Company's remediation program is not expected
to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
 
     The Company has been named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for
the costs of remediation of hazardous waste at six federal "Superfund" sites in
Arkansas, California, Florida, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Ohio. Under current
law, the Company's liability for clean up of such sites may be joint and several
with other PRP's, regardless of the extent of the Company's use in relation to
other users. In each case, the Company has determined that to the extent that it
has any responsibility for hazardous waste deposited at any site, the amounts of
such deposits are minimal compared to those of other financially responsible
PRP's, and as a result, we believe the Company's ultimate liability will not
have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
     In 1991, a Complaint was filed against the Company, each of the directors
of the Company and Johnston seeking, among other things, to enjoin the Johnston
acquisition. The Complaint alleges that The Coca-Cola Company, as the holder of
approximately 49% (prior to the Johnston acquisition) of the outstanding common
stock of the Company, owes fiduciary duties of loyalty, care and candor to the
Company and the Company's public share owners and that The Coca-Cola Company
breached its fiduciary duties by exerting influence over the Company in
connection with the acquisition in order to maximize its financial interests at
the expense of the Company and the Company's public share owners. The Complaint
also alleges that the directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties
to the Company and its public share owners. Management believes that the
Complaint is without merit and its ultimate disposition will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
 
     The Company is also involved in various other claims and legal proceedings,
the resolution of which management believes will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     Each quarter presented includes ninety-one days, except the first quarter
of 1992 (eighty-seven days), the fourth quarter of 1992 (ninety-seven days) and
the first quarter of 1993 (ninety-two days).
 
     Due to the method used in calculating per share data as prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and the timing of share repurchases
by the Company, the per share data does not sum in certain instances to the per

     The third quarter of 1993 includes a one-time charge of approximately $40
million ($0.31 per common share) to increase the Company's deferred tax
liability as a result of a 1% increase in the corporate marginal income tax
rate.
 
     The fourth quarter of 1993 included a favorable year-end inventory (LIFO)
adjustment of approximately $7 million of which approximately $5 million ($0.03

                 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
Board of Directors
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coca-Cola
Enterprises Inc. and the related consolidated statements of operations,
share-owners' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2). These financial statements and
schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on
our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
     As discussed in the notes to consolidated financial statements, in 1992 the
Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and postretirement
benefits other than pensions.
