The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 6 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes presented in the annual consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies used in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements. Material recognition, measurement, and presentation differences between U.S. GAAP and Canadian GAAP are disclosed in note 15. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS123R, Share-Based Payments requiring companies to recognize compensation expense for all types of stock options. On April 14, 2005 the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved a new rule that deferred the effective date of SFAS123R. We are required to adopt this standard for our interim period ending April 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS123R on our results of operations and believe that adoption of SFAS123R will have a material impact on our financial statements. In July 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Exposure Draft on Uncertain Tax Positions - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109. The Exposure Draft contains proposed guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. It also addresses the accrual of any interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions and the classification of liabilities resulting from uncertain tax positions in the balance sheet. The Exposure Draft contains a proposed effective date of December 15, 2005. If passed, we will adopt this exposure draft for our year ending December 31, 2005. We are currently evaluating the impact of this Exposure Draft on our results of operations. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS151, Inventory Costs. The Statement requires that the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities; unallocated overheads resulting from abnormally low production and certain other costs are to be recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. We will adopt this standard for our interim period ending April 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS151 on our results of operations. ESTIMATES The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. SIGNIFICANT NON-RECURRING ITEMS During the quarter, we benefited from a $4.9 million payment reflecting the settlement of a class action lawsuit against suppliers of high fructose corn syrup. The payment was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. 7 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 2 - BUSINESS SEASONALITY Our net income for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year due to business seasonality. Operating results are impacted by business seasonality, which leads to higher sales in the second and third quarters versus the first and fourth quarters of the year. Conversely, fixed costs such as depreciation, amortization and interest, are not impacted by seasonal trends. NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES The following table reconciles income taxes calculated at the basic Canadian corporate rates with the income tax provision:

NOTE 5 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the effect that would occur if in-the-money stock options were exercised. 8 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 5 - NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE (continued) The following table reconciles the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding to the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

At July 2, 2005, options to purchase 2,677,525 shares (2,500 - July 3, 2004) of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of C$36.18 per share (C$43.64 - July 3, 2004) were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. As of July 2, 2005, Cott had 71,630,620 common shares and 3,864,690 common share options outstanding. Of the common share options outstanding, 1,845,014 options were exercisable as of July 2, 2005. During the second quarter ended July 2, 2005, 22,500 of common share options were issued at a weighted average price of C$28.81 and 91,400 common share options were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of C$16.67.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We enter into cash flow hedges to mitigate exposure to declines in the value of the Canadian dollar and pound sterling attributable to certain forecasted U.S. dollar raw material purchases of the Canadian and United Kingdom ("U.K.") and European business segments. The hedges consist of monthly foreign exchange options to buy U.S. dollars at fixed rates per Canadian dollar and pound sterling and mature at various dates through December 30, 2005. The fair market value of the foreign exchange options is included in prepaid expenses and other assets. 9 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and prepaid expenses and other assets are recorded in earnings in the same periods in which the forecasted purchases or payments affect earnings. At July 2, 2005, the fair value of the foreign exchange options was $0.8 million ($0.5 million - July 3, 2004) and we recorded $0.7 million unrealized gains ($0.5 million unrealized loss - July 3, 2004) in comprehensive income for the period ending July 2, 2005.

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $10.2 million for the period ended July 2, 2005 ($8.9 million - July 3, 2004). 10 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 10 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS On March 31, 2005, we entered into new committed senior secured credit facilities that provide for financing in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. The new facilities replaced our former committed senior secured credit facility in the United States and Canada and our demand bank credit facility in the United Kingdom. The new facilities terminate, and the debt under the senior secured credit agreement is due, on March 31, 2010. The new facilities allow for revolving credit borrowings in a principal amount of up to $100 million and are initially comprised of two separate facilities: (1) a $95 million multicurrency facility made by certain lenders to us and our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cott Beverages Inc. and Cott Beverages Limited as co-borrowers, and (2) a $5 million Mexican facility made by certain lenders to our indirect 90% owned subsidiary Cott Embottelladores de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("CEMSA"). Each facility includes subfacilities for swingline loans and letters of credit. The $100 million facilities can be increased up to an additional $150 million at our option if the lenders agree to increase their commitments or new lenders join the facility and we satisfy certain conditions. Within such $150 million of extra availability, and subject to certain other limitations, we can establish additional revolving loan facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million to be provided in various currencies as agreed upon for additional subsidiaries designated by us. Wachovia Bank, National Association acts as administrative agent and security trustee for lenders under the new facilities. In general, borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at either a floating or fixed rate for the applicable currency plus a margin based on our consolidated total leverage ratio. As at July 2, 2005, credit of $86.6 million was available after borrowings of $8.5 million and standby letters of credit of $4.9 million. The weighted average interest rate was 5.85% on this facility as of July 2, 2005. On April 1, 2005, our principal U.S. operating subsidiaries (the "Originators") entered into a receivables securitization facility under which they agreed to sell substantially all of their receivables generated from their ordinary course operations, as well as certain related assets, to a new special purpose indirect subsidiary of ours, Cott USA Receivables Corporation, which will in turn sell and assign undivided interests in the receivables and related assets to an unaffiliated entity, Park Avenue Receivables Company, LLC ("PARCO") and certain other financial institutions (together with PARCO, the "Purchasers") in exchange for cash in amounts determined by the parties, subject to specified conditions. The transfers to the Purchasers will be treated as a financing for purposes of our consolidated financial statements; however, the presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity. The transfers of the receivables and related assets to the Purchasers are governed by a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated April 1, 2005, by and among Cott USA Receivables Corporation, Cott Beverages Inc., the Purchasers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), acting for itself and the Purchasers. The agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that the Company views as materially constraining its activities or (except for Cott USA Receivables Corporation) the activities of its subsidiaries. The amount of funds available under the receivables facility will be based upon the amount of eligible receivables and various reserves required by the facility. Accordingly, availability may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivables balances and calculation of reserves, but will not exceed the $75 million program limit. As of July 2, 2005, $60.8 million of eligible receivables, net of reserves, were available for purchase. As of July 2, 2005 $40 million was outstanding, under this facility, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.89%. 11 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 11 - NET CHANGE IN NON-CASH WORKING CAPITAL The changes in non-cash working capital components, net of effects of unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses, are as follows:

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLANS Pursuant to the SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, we have elected to account for our employee stock option plan under APB opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under this method of accounting, compensation expense is measured as the excess, if any, of the market value of our common stock at the award date over the amount the employee must pay for the stock (exercise price). Our policy is to award stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately before the date of award, and accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options issued under this plan. Had compensation expense for the plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS No. 123, our net income and net income per common share would have been as follows:

12 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLANS (continued) The pro forma compensation expense has been tax effected to the extent it relates to stock options granted in jurisdictions where the related benefits are deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

NOTE 13 - CONTINGENCIES In January 2005, we were named as one of many defendants in a class action suit alleging the unauthorized use by the defendants of container deposits and the imposition of recycling fees on customers. This litigation is at a very preliminary stage and the merits of the case have not been determined. In addition, we are subject to various claims and legal proceedings with respect to matters such as governmental regulations, income taxes, and other actions arising out of the normal course of business. We believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results from operations. NOTE 14 - SEGMENT REPORTING We produce package and distribute retailer brand and branded bottled and canned beverages to regional and national grocery, mass-merchandise and wholesale chains in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. & Europe and International business segments. The International segment includes our Mexican business, our Royal Crown International business and our business in Asia.

Intersegment sales and total assets under the Corporate & Other caption include the elimination of intersegment sales, receivables and investments. Credit risk arises from the potential default of a customer in meeting its financial obligations with us. Concentrations of credit exposure may arise with a group of customers which have similar economic characteristics or that are located in the same geographic region. The ability of such customers to meet obligations would be similarly affected by changing economic, political or other conditions. For the six months ended July 2, 2005, sales to one major customer accounted for 41% (July 3, 2004 - 40%) of our total sales. 15 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 14 - SEGMENT REPORTING (continued) Revenues by geographic area are as follows:

NOTE 15 - DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which differ in certain respects from those principles and practices that we would have followed had our consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP. (a) Under U.S. GAAP, we have elected not to record compensation expense for options issued to employees with an exercise price equal to the market value of the options. Under Canadian GAAP, effective January 1, 2004, stock options issued to employees subsequent to January 1, 2002 are recognized in net income based on their fair value. As a result, compensation expense of $5.2 million ($4.0 million - July 3, 2004), $3.8 million ($3.1 million - July 3, 2004) net of tax of $1.3 million ($0.9 million - July 3, 2004), was recorded in the first six months of 2005. This policy was adopted on a retroactive basis with no restatement of comparative figures and as a result $5.6 million was charged to opening retained earnings as at January 3, 2004. Contributed surplus of $20.7 ($10.3 million - July 3, 2004) was recorded to reflect the charge for unexercised options. Share capital of $1.0 million was recorded to reflect the options exercised for the period ending July 3, 2004. Of the options exercised during the period, all were granted prior to January 1, 2002. 16 COTT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited NOTE 15. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES (continued) (b) Under U.S. GAAP, costs of start-up activities and organization costs are expensed as incurred. Under Canadian GAAP these costs, if they meet certain criteria, can be capitalized and amortized over the future benefit period. (c) Under U.S. GAAP, the adoption of the U.S. dollar in 1998 as the presentation and reporting currency was implemented retroactively, such that prior period financial statements are translated under the current rate method using the foreign exchange rates in effect on those dates. Under Canadian GAAP, the change in presentation and reporting currency was implemented by translating all prior year financial statement amounts at the foreign exchange rate on January 31, 1998. As a result, there is a difference in the share capital, retained earnings and cumulative translation adjustment amounts under Canadian GAAP as compared to U.S. GAAP. Under Canadian GAAP, these differences would have been reported in the consolidated statements of income, consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of shareowners' equity and consolidated statements of cash flow as follows:

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On August 10, 2005 we acquired 100% of the shares of Macaw (Holdings) Limited, the parent company of Macaw (Soft Drinks) Limited, the largest privately owned manufacturer of retailer brand carbonated soft drinks in the United Kingdom. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $135.0 million (75.7 million pound sterling). The acquisition has been financed under our global credit facility, which was increased from $100.0 million to $225.0 million in connection with this transaction. This will leave $75 million available under the credit facility. 18 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS We reported net income of $25.0 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the second quarter ended July 2, 2005, down 15% as compared with $29.4 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2004. For the first half of 2005, net income decreased 26% to $33.3 million or $0.46 per diluted share, from $44.8 million or $0.62 per diluted share in the same period last year. The decrease was due to higher fixed costs resulting from recently-added production capacity, including the start-up of our new Texas plant, and changes in product mix toward lower margin bottled water, particularly in the U.S. SALES - Sales for the second quarter of 2005 were $492.7 million, an increase of 6.3% from $463.7 million in the second quarter of 2004. Sales increased 4.7% after excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Sales increased 3.5% when also excluding the acquisition of certain of the assets of Metro Beverage Co. (the "Metro Acquisition") in October 2004. Total 8oz equivalent case volume was 326.0 million cases in the second quarter of 2005, down 1% from 328.6 million cases in the second quarter of 2004. Excluding The Metro Acquisition and concentrate sales, volume was 246.7 million 8oz equivalent cases, down 7.5% compared to the second quarter of 2004. The Metro Acquisition contributed 3.0 million 8oz equivalent cases to sales volume in the second quarter of 2005. Sales of concentrates were down 6.7% in the second quarter as a result of shipment delays to certain customers. Concentrate manufacturing is a high volume but low dollar component of our overall sales. Sales for the first half of 2005 increased to $888.2 million, 6.4% higher than the same period last year and up 3.4% when the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rates are excluded. The impact of acquisitions for the first half of the year includes the Metro Acquisition as well as the acquisition of certain of the assets of the Cardinal Companies of Elizabethtown (the "Cardinal Acquisition"). The Cardinal Acquisition was completed in March 2004. As such, the affect of the acquisition on our comparative results, on a quarterly basis, is limited to our first quarter results. Total 8oz equivalent case volume was 598.3 million cases for the first half of 2005. This is largely unchanged from the first half of 2004 where case volume was 598.7. Excluding concentrate sales, volume was 453.3 million 8oz equivalent cases for the first half of 2005, an increase of 1.5% compared to the first half of 2004. Sales in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2005 increased to $354.4 million, up 4.1% from $340.4 million in the second quarter of 2004. Excluding The Metro Acquisition sales increased 2.4% for the quarter. In the first half of 2005, sales of $648.7 million grew by 5.7% compared with the first half of 2004. Excluding acquisitions, sales in the first half of 2005 increased 3.6% as compared to the first half of 2004. The increase in sales was primarily driven by increased volume and price increases to our customers to recover raw material cost increases. Sales in Canada were $59.7 million for the second quarter of 2005, up 8.7% from $54.9 million in the second quarter of 2004 and down 0.5% excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates. For the first half of the year, sales of $100.8 million were 6.4% higher than $94.7 million for the same period last year, and down 1.9% when the effect of foreign exchange rates is taken into account. The decrease is primarily attributable to a continuing decline in volume to our customers. Sales in the U.K. and Europe of $57.9 million in the second quarter of 2005 increased 12% from $51.7 million in the same period in 2004. Excluding the impact of the strengthened U.K. pound, sales increased 19 9.2%. For the first half of 2005, sales of $101.5 million were up 7.5% from the same period in 2004. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, sales were up 4.7%. The rise in sales is primarily attributable to increased volumes. The International business unit includes Mexico, Royal Crown International and the Asia business. Sales by this business unit were $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2005, up 24.2% from $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2004. For the first half of the year, sales of $35.7 million were 15.9% higher than $30.8 million for the same period last year. Much of the growth for this division was largely driven by growth in our Mexican business unit, which accounted for $4.6 million of the increase in the second quarter and $6.2 million of the increase in the first half of 2005 primarily attributable to increased volume. GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit for the second quarter of 2005 was $80.7 million, or 16.4% of sales, down from 18.4% of sales in the second quarter of 2004. During the quarter, we benefited from a $4.9 million payment reflecting the settlement of a class action lawsuit against suppliers of high fructose corn syrup. Gross profit excluding the impact of the settlement would have been 15.4%. The gross profit decline was largely a consequence of two key factors. First, changes in product mix, towards an increase in lower margin bottled water, particularly in the US. Second, higher fixed costs resulted from recently added production capacity. Gross profit in the first half of 2005 was $136.7 million, or 15.4% of sales, compared to gross profit of $155.9 million, or 18.7% of sales, in the first half of 2004. Gross profit for the first half of the year reflects the impact of increased ingredient and packaging costs and the timing of price increases passed through to our customers partially offset by increased plant efficiencies. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A") - SG&A was $35.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $1.4 million, or 4.1%, from $34.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2005, SG&A of $72.4 million was $0.4 million, or 0.5%, lower than the same period in 2004. As a percentage of sales, SG&A declined to 7.2% during the second quarter of 2005, down from 7.4% for the same period last year and to 8.2% during the first half of the year, down from 8.7% for the same period last year. INTEREST EXPENSE - Net interest expense was $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. This was consistent with the first quarter of 2004. Net interest expense for the first six months of 2005 was $13.1 million, down slightly from $13.2 million in the first half of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to lower borrowings on our credit facilities during 2005. INCOME TAXES - We recorded an income tax provision of $12.3 million for the second quarter and $16.0 million for the first half of 2005 as compared with $14.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. For the first half of 2005, the overall effective tax rate was 32.5%, which is 1.2% lower than the effective tax rate for the first half of 2004, which was 33.7%. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first half of 2005 was primarily due to the impact of lower income in the U.S. FINANCIAL CONDITION - Cash provided by operating activities for the first half of 2005 was $0.1 million, after capital expenditures of $54.8 million, as compared to the first half of 2004 in which cash used in operating activities was $2.5 million, after capital expenditures of $19.5 million. Cash from operations increased due to an increase in the net change in working capital of $48.5 million primarily related to volume growth in the U.S. This was partially offset by the capital expenditures incurred as a result of the construction of our new Texas plant. Cash decreased $10.7 million in the first half of 2005 to $15.9 million as of July 2, 2005. INVESTING ACTIVITIES - No acquisitions were completed in the first half of 2005. On March 17, 2004, we acquired certain of the assets of The Cardinal Companies of Elizabethtown, LLC in Kentucky, including a bottling facility. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $17.7 million, including estimated 20 acquisition costs of $0.3 million. The acquisition was funded from cash flow from operations and short-term borrowings. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LONG-TERM DEBT - Our sources of capital include operating cash flows, short term borrowings under current credit facilities, issuance of public and private debt and issuance of equity securities. We believe we have adequate financial resources to meet our ongoing cash requirements for operations and capital expenditures, as well as our other financial obligations based on our operating cash flows and currently available credit. On March 31, 2005, we entered into new committed senior secured credit facilities that provide for financing in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. The new facilities replaced our former committed senior secured credit facility in the United States and Canada and our demand bank credit facility in the United Kingdom. The new facilities terminate, and the debt under the senior secured credit agreement is due, on March 31, 2010. The new facilities allow for revolving credit borrowings in a principal amount of up to $100 million and are initially comprised of two separate facilities: (1) a $95 million multicurrency facility made by certain lenders to us and our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cott Beverages Inc. and Cott Beverages Limited as co-borrowers, and (2) a $5 million Mexican facility made by certain lenders to our indirect 90% owned subsidiary Cott Embottelladores de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. ("CEMSA"). Each facility includes subfacilities for swingline loans and letters of credit. The $100 million facilities can be increased up to an additional $150 million at our option if lenders agree to increase their commitments or new lenders join the facility and we satisfy certain conditions. Within such $150 million of extra availability, and subject to certain other limitations, we can establish additional revolving loan facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million to be provided in various currencies as agreed upon for additional subsidiaries designated by us. Wachovia Bank, National Association acts as administrative agent and security trustee for lenders under the new facilities. In general, borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at either a floating or fixed rate for the applicable currency plus a margin based on our consolidated total leverage ratio. As at July 2, 2005, credit of $86.6 million was available after borrowings of $8.5 million and standby letters of credit of $4.9 million. The weighted average interest rate was 5.85% on this facility as of July 2, 2005. On April 1, 2005, our principal U.S. operating subsidiaries (the "Originators") entered into a receivables securitization facility under which they agreed to sell substantially all of their receivables generated from their ordinary course operations, as well as certain related assets, to a new special purpose indirect subsidiary of ours, Cott USA Receivables Corporation, which will in turn sell and assign undivided interests in the receivables and related assets to an unaffiliated entity, Park Avenue Receivables Company, LLC ("PARCO") and certain other financial institutions (together with PARCO, the "Purchasers") in exchange for cash in amounts determined by the parties, subject to specified conditions. The transfers to the Purchasers will be treated as a financing for purposes of our consolidated financial statements; however, the presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that the assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity. The transfers of the receivables and related assets to the Purchasers are governed by a Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated April 1, 2005, by and among Cott USA Receivables Corporation, Cott Beverages Inc., the Purchasers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan"), acting for itself and the Purchasers. The agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities customary for facilities of this type. The facility does not contain any covenants that the Company views as materially constraining its activities or (except for Cott USA Receivables Corporation) the activities of its subsidiaries. The amount of funds available under the receivables facility will be based upon the amount of eligible receivables and various reserves required by the facility. Accordingly, availability may fluctuate over time given changes in eligible receivables balances and calculation of reserves, but will not exceed the 21 $75 million program limit. As of July 2, 2005, $60.8 million of eligible receivables, net of reserves, were available for purchase. As of July 2, 2005 $40 million was outstanding, under this facility, at a weighted average interest rate of 3.89%. As of July 2, 2005, long-term debt totaled $273.2 million compared with $273.3 million at the end of 2004. At the end of the second quarter of 2005, debt consisted of $270.1 million in 8% senior subordinated notes with a face value of $275 million and $3.1 million of other debt. CANADIAN GAAP - Under Canadian GAAP, in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, we reported net income of $29.3 million and total assets of $1,093.2 million compared to net income and total assets under U.S. GAAP of $33.3 million and $1,092.5 million, respectively, in the first six months of 2005. The main U.S./Canadian GAAP difference in the first six months of 2005 was the accounting of stock options. Under Canadian GAAP, effective January 1, 2004, stock options issued to employees subsequent to January 1, 2002 are recognized in net income based on their fair value. As a result, compensation expense of $5.2 million, $3.8 million after tax of $1.4 million, was recorded in the first half of 2005 and $5.6 million was charged to opening retained earnings as this policy was adopted on a prospective basis. Under U.S. GAAP, we have elected not to record compensation expense for options issued to employees with an exercise price equal to the market value of the options. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - On August 10, 2005 we acquired 100% of the shares of Macaw (Holdings) Limited, the parent company of Macaw (Soft Drinks) Limited, the largest privately owned manufacturer of retailer brand carbonated soft drinks in the United Kingdom. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $135.0 million (75.7 million pound sterling). The acquisition has been financed under our global credit facility, which was increased from $100.0 million to $225.0 million in connection with this transaction. This will leave $75 million available under the credit facility. OUTLOOK - Our ongoing focus is to increase sales, market share and profitability for Cott and for our customers. In the U.S. the carbonated soft drink ("CSD") industry continues to experience weakness. We believe that there are significant opportunities for growth in the U.S. market for retailer brands. As we continue to implement our back-to-basics approach, we are focusing on effective logistics, managing inventory to appropriate levels and increasing plant efficiencies. Our Canadian division intends to focus on entering new segments, new product innovation, new packaging capabilities and executing on our new channel strategy to help grow its business. Our U.K. division intends to continue to enhance its performance through product innovation and a customer-centric focus to identify opportunities. We continue to view Mexico as a strong long-term growth opportunity. In connection with the purchase of Macaw (Holdings) Limited, on August 10, 2005 we released revised guidance indicating that in 2005 we expect sales growth of between 8% and 10% and earnings per share, on a diluted basis, to be between $1.06 and $1.11. EBITDA is now expected to be between $215 million and $220 million as further explained below. Capital expenditures for the year are projected to be $100 million. We undertake no obligation to update this or any information contained in this report or to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances of which we may become aware of after the date of this report. For the year ended December 31, 2005 - Guidance
(in millions of U.S. dollars) NET INCOME $77 - $80 Depreciation and amortization $66 Interest expense, net $29 Income taxes and other $43 - $45 ----------- EBITDA $215 - $220 ===========
NON - GAAP MEASURES - EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We use operating income as a primary measure of performance and cash flow from operations as our primary measure of liquidity. Nevertheless, we present EBITDA in our filings for several reasons. We use multiples of EBITDA and discounted cash flows in determining the value of our operations. In addition, we use "cash return on assets", a financial measure calculated by dividing our annualized EBITDA by our aggregate operating assets, for the purposes of calculating performance-related bonus compensation for our management employees, because that measure reflects the ability of management to generate cash while preserving assets. Finally, we include EBITDA in our filings because we believe that our current and potential investors use multiples of EBITDA to make investment decisions 22 about us. Investors should not consider EBITDA an alternative to net income, nor to cash provided by operating activities, nor any other indicators of performance or liquidity which have been determined in accordance with U.S. or Canadian GAAP. Our method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies and, accordingly, our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP financial measures is found above and also available in the Investor Relations/Financial Reports section of our website. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES - Risks and uncertainties include national brand pricing strategies, commitment of major customers to retailer brand programs, stability of procurement costs for items such as sweetener, packaging materials and other ingredients, the successful integration of new acquisitions, the ability to protect intellectual property and fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies versus the U.S. dollar. Sales to our top customer (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) in the first six months of 2005 and 2004 accounted for 41% and 40%, respectively, of our total sales. Sales to the top ten customers in the first six months of 2005 and 2004 accounted for 67% and 68%, respectively, of our total sales. The loss of any significant customer, or customers which in the aggregate represent a significant portion of our sales, could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - In addition to historical information, this report and the reports and documents incorporated by reference in this report contain statements relating to future events and our future results. These statements are "forward-looking" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to projections of sales, earnings, earnings per share, cash flows, capital expenditures or other financial items, discussions of estimated future revenue enhancements and cost savings. These statements also relate to our business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity and capital resources. Generally, words such as "anticipate", "believe", "continue", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "should" and similar terms and phrases are used to identify forward-looking statements in this report and in the documents incorporated in this report by reference. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report. Although we believe the assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions could be incorrect. Our operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and any one or any combination of these risks and uncertainties could also affect whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. The following are some of the factors that could affect our financial performance, including but not limited to sales, earnings and cash flows, or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying the forward-looking statements: - loss of key customers, particularly Wal-Mart, and the commitment of retailer brand beverage customers to their own retailer brand beverage programs; - increases in competitor consolidations and other market-place competition, particularly among branded beverage products; - our ability to identify acquisition and alliance candidates and to integrate into our operations the businesses and product lines that we acquire or become allied with; - our ability to secure additional production capacity either through acquisitions, or third party manufacturing arrangements; - our ability to restore plant efficiencies and lower logistics costs; - fluctuations in the cost and availability of beverage ingredients and packaging supplies, and our 23 ability to maintain favorable arrangements and relationships with its suppliers; - unseasonably cold or wet weather, which could reduce demand for our beverages; - our ability to protect the intellectual property inherent in new and existing products; - adverse rulings, judgments or settlements in our existing litigation, and the possibility that additional litigation will be brought against us; - product recalls or changes in or increased enforcement of the laws and regulations that affect our business; - currency fluctuations that adversely affect the exchange between the U.S. dollar on one hand and the pound sterling, the Canadian dollar and other currencies on the other; - changes in tax laws and interpretations of tax laws; - changes in consumer tastes and preferences and market demand for new and existing products; - interruption in transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages and other interruptions or difficulties in the employment of labor or transportation in our markets; and - changes in general economic and business conditions. Many of these factors are described in greater detail in this report and in other filings that we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Canadian securities regulatory authorities. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained in this report or to publicly release the results of any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances of which we may become aware of after the date of this report. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Reference is made to Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 and to Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk found in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 2, 2005. In the first half of 2005, we entered into cash flow hedges to mitigate exposure to declines in the value of the Canadian dollar and British pound attributable to certain forecasted U.S. dollar raw material purchases of the Canada and U.K. and Europe business segments. The hedges consist of monthly foreign exchange options to buy U.S. dollars at fixed rate per Canadian dollar and British pound and mature at various dates through to December 30, 2005. The fair market value of the foreign exchange options is included in prepaid expenses and other assets. Changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge instruments are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and prepaid and other expenses are recorded in earnings in the same periods in which the forecasted purchases or payments affect earnings. At July 2, 2005, the fair value of the options was $0.8 million ($0.5 million - July 3, 2004) and we recorded $0.7 million unrealized gains ($0.5 million unrealized loss - July 3, 2004) in comprehensive income for the period ending July 2, 2005. See "Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments." 24 Our sales outside the U.S. are concentrated principally in the U.K. and Canada. We believe that our foreign currency exchange rate risk has been immaterial given the historic stability of the U.S. dollar exchange rates with respect to the foreign currencies to which we have our principal exposure. However, there can be no assurance that these exchange rates will remain stable or that our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk will not increase in the future. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the quarter ended July 2, 2005 that could materially affect, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 25 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
