Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Coca-Cola Refreshments Bargaining Employees’ 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Notes to Audited Financial Statements

 

1. Description of Plan

 

The following description of the Coca-Cola Refreshments Bargaining Employees’ 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan’s Summary Plan Description for a more comprehensive description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan is sponsored by Coca-Cola Refreshments USA, Inc. (the “Company”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company.  The Plan was formed effective July 1, 1984 and amended and restated effective January 1, 2002.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering certain employees of the Company, and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended (“ERISA”).

 

Administration

 

The Plan is administered by The Coca-Cola Company Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) which, as Plan Administrator, has substantial control of and discretion over the administration of the Plan.  The Plan Administrator has engaged a third party, Mercer HR Services, to provide recordkeeping and administrative services.

 

Eligibility

 

Each employee who is eligible for the Plan under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement negotiated between the Company and such bargaining unit shall become a participant on the entry date (the first day of the calendar quarter following date of hire) at which time the participant may elect to begin compensation deferrals.

 

Contributions

 

The Plan allows a participant to contribute from 1% to 15% of compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company matches participant contributions as provided for in the various collective bargaining agreements. Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) limitations. All contributions are invested as directed by participants.

1. Description of Plan, Continued

 

Vesting

 

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service.

 

A participant is 100% vested after three years of credited service. All participants become fully vested upon death, total disability or reaching normal retirement age as defined in the Plan.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, employer contributions, if any, rollover contributions, if any, and allocations of the Company’s contribution and Plan investment results; however, each account is also charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account balance.

 

In the event a participant’s union membership status changes, the participant may elect to transfer his or her account out of the Plan.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Plan transferred participant accounts totaling $8,642 to other Company-sponsored plans.

 

Participant Loans

 

Participants may borrow from their account balances subject to certain limitations.  The following applies to Participant loans:

 

(a)          The maximum amount that a participant may borrow is the lesser of 50% of their vested account balance or $50,000. The $50,000 maximum is reduced by the participant’s highest outstanding loan balance on any loans during the preceding 12 months.

 

(b)         The minimum loan amount is $1,000.

 

(c)          The loan interest rate is the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, and is set monthly.  The loan’s interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.

 

(d)         The loan repayment period is limited to five years for a general purpose loan and 15 years for a loan used to purchase or build a principal residence.

1. Description of Plan, Continued

 

Withdrawals and Benefit Payments

 

Distributions of a participant’s fully vested account balance shall be made during the period following his or her retirement, total disability, death or termination of employment.

 

Distributions to participants shall be made in a single lump sum or a series of installments over a certain period selected by the participant. The amount of distribution under the Plan shall be equal to the participant’s vested account balance.

 

If the participant has any loan balance at the time of distribution, the amount of cash available to the participant or beneficiary shall be reduced by the outstanding principal balance of the loan.

 

Prior to retirement, a withdrawal from the balance of a participant’s pre-tax contribution account would be available for a financial hardship or from a participant’s rollover source within the Plan.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan agreement to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan. In the event of Plan termination, all participants become fully vested and shall receive a full distribution of their account balances.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

 

The Plan participates in the Coca-Cola Refreshments Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) with similar retirement plans sponsored by the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, whereby investments are held collectively for all participating plans by Mercer Trust Company (the “Trustee”). Each participating plan’s investment in the Master Trust is equal to the sum of its participant account balances in relation to total Master Trust investments.  The Master Trust holds investments in common stock, mutual funds, common trust funds, fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and investments within self-directed brokerage accounts.  See Note 3 regarding disclosures of the investments in the Master Trust.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date.  Interest income is recorded as earned and dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date.

 

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Participant loans, which are classified as receivables, are stated at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Plan, as permitted by the Plan document.  All other expenses are paid by the Company.

 

3. Coca-Cola Refreshments Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust

 

On December 31, 2011, the Plan’s investment in the Master Trust was approximately $43.6 million. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 2.7% at December 31, 2011.  This was determined by comparing the Plan’s investment in the Master Trust to total net assets in the Master Trust.  The Plan’s investment in the Master Trust (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) depreciated in fair value by $371,824 during 2011.

Invesco Stable Value Fund

 

The Invesco Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a separate account which invests primarily in wrapper contracts (also known as synthetic guaranteed investment contracts) and cash equivalents. Contracts within the Fund are fully benefit-responsive and are therefore reported at fair value on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

In a wrapper contract structure, the underlying investments are owned by the Fund and held in trust for Plan participants. The wrapper primarily represents a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds, and common trust funds. The Fund purchases a wrapper contract from an insurance company or bank.  The wrapper contract amortizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying fixed income investments, typically over the duration of the investments, through adjustments to the future interest crediting rate (which is the rate earned by participants in the Fund for the underlying investments). The issuer of the wrapper contract provides assurance that the adjustments to the interest crediting rate do not result in a future crediting rate that is less than zero.

 

An interest crediting rate less than zero would result in a loss of principal or accrued interest. Wrapper contracts’ interest crediting rates are typically reset on a periodic basis.

 

The key factors that influence future interest crediting rates for a wrapper contract include:

 

·                  The level of market interest rates;

·                  The amount and timing of participant contributions, transfers and withdrawals into/out of the wrapper contract;

·                  The investment returns generated by the fixed income investments that back the wrapper contract; and

·                  The duration of the underlying investments backing the wrapper contract.

 

Because changes in market interest rates affect the yield to maturity and the market value of the underlying investments, they may have a material impact on the wrapper contract’s interest crediting rate. In addition, participant withdrawals and transfers from the Fund are paid at contract value but funded through the market value liquidation of the

underlying investments, which also impacts the interest crediting rate.  The resulting gains and losses in the market value of the underlying investments relative to the wrapper contract value are represented on the Plan’s Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits as the “Adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts.”

 

If the adjustment from fair value to contract value is positive for a given contract, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is greater than the market value of the underlying investments. The embedded market value losses will be amortized in the future through a lower interest crediting rate than would otherwise be the case.  If the adjustment from fair value to contract value figure is negative, this indicates that the wrapper contract value is less than the market value of the underlying investments.  The amortization of the embedded market value gains will cause the future interest crediting rate to be higher than it otherwise would have been.

 

All wrapper contracts provide for a minimum interest crediting rate of zero percent.  In the event that the interest crediting rate should fall to zero and the requirements of the wrapper contract are satisfied, the wrapper issuers will pay to the Plan the shortfall needed to maintain the interest crediting rate at zero.  This helps to ensure that participants’ principal and accrued interest will be protected.

 

Examples of events that would permit a wrapper contract issuer to terminate a wrapper contract upon short notice include the Plan’s loss of its qualified status, uncured material breaches of responsibilities, or material and adverse changes to the provisions of the Plan.  If one of these events was to occur, the wrapper contract issuer could terminate the wrapper contract at the market value of the underlying investments.

 

At December 31, 2011, fair value exceeded contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses. The weighted-average yield was approximately 1.4% and 2.3% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The crediting interest rate was approximately 2.8% and 3.8% as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Participants investing in the Fund are subject to risk of default by issuers of the wrapper contracts and the specific investments underlying the wrapper contracts.  There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.

Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

 

Effective August 13, 2010, the CCE Stock Fund (formerly the “Company Stock Fund”, referred to herein as the “CCE Stock Fund”) was frozen; no new contributions or transfers were allowed to the CCE Stock Fund.  Participants that were directing any portion of their contributions or company matching contributions to the CCE Stock Fund were provided the option to direct those contribution amounts to other Plan investment options or have those contributions automatically invested in the SSgA S&P 500 Index Fund.

 

Effective July 1, 2011, the CCE Stock Fund was closed and any remaining balances in this fund were sold from July 1, 2011 through July 19, 2011 and the proceeds were reinvested in a default investment option of the Plan.  The default investment option is a JPMorgan SmartRetirement Fund based on a participant’s birth date.  Participants were provided notice of the planned liquidation of the CCE Stock Fund in November 2010 and actual liquidation date in April 2011.  Participants were able to make investment transfers from the CCE Stock Fund to another investment option in the Plan prior to July 1, 2011.

 

Effective April 1, 2011, common stock of The Coca-Cola Company was added to the Master Trust as an additional investment option available to the participating Plans.

4. Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated September 2, 2009, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service.  The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011,

4.  Income Tax Status, Continued

 

there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009.

 

5.  Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Master Trust invests in various investment securities as directed by participants.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

 

6.  Subsequent Events

 

The Coca-Cola Company amended and restated the Master Trust as of January 1, 2012 to include all qualified defined contribution plans sponsored by the Company and its subsidiaries and renamed the Master Trust to The Coca-Cola Company Master Trust for 401(k) Plans.

 

Management of the Plan has evaluated material events and transactions that have occurred after the Statement of Net Asset Available for Benefits date and concluded that no additional subsequent events have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, June 28, 2012, that require adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
