NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions


Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 8, 2007, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006 have not been audited. These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. In our opinion, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The results for the 12 and 36 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year.

Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of a pro rata share of certain estimated annual sales incentives, and certain advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. Raw materials, direct labor and plant overhead, as well as purchasing and receiving costs, costs directly related to production planning, inspection costs and raw material handling facilities, are included in cost of sales. The costs of moving, storing and delivering finished product are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Bottling equity income includes our share of the net income or loss of our noncontrolled bottling affiliates and the impact of any changes in our ownership interests in these affiliates. Bottling equity income includes pre-tax gains on our sale of PBG stock of $58 million and $162 million in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 8, 2007, respectively, and pre-tax gains of $61 million and $167 million in the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 9, 2006, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2007, the reporting calendars of certain operating units within PepsiCo International’s (“PI”) reporting segment were changed such that most PI operations now report on a monthly calendar basis instead of a period reporting basis. Monthly reporting is preferable for our international businesses to facilitate local statutory reporting, which is generally based on monthly calendars. The change in reporting substantially reduces the number of financial closings and reconciliations executed by the international operations, improving overall efficiency. As a result of this change, third quarter PepsiCo results primarily reflect international monthly results for the months of June, July and August, and year-to-date PepsiCo results primarily reflect international monthly results for the months of January through August. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this change, including a net gain from the sale of non-core cereal brands and a plant in the United Kingdom previously recorded in the third quarter of 2006 and now reflected in the fourth quarter of 2006.

In addition, beginning in the first quarter of 2007, income for certain non-consolidated international bottling interests was reclassified from bottling equity income and corporate unallocated results to PI’s division operating results, to be consistent with PepsiCo’s internal management accountability. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.

Debt Obligations and Commitments


In the second quarter of 2007, we issued $1 billion of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2012. We used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay existing short-term debt of $500 million, bearing interest at 3.2% per year and maturing on May 15, 2007, with the balance of the proceeds used primarily for general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the $1 billion notes, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert the interest rate from a fixed rate of 5.15% to a variable rate based on LIBOR. The terms of the interest rate swap match the terms of the debt it modifies.

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2007, we extended the maturity of our $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement by one year to 2012, and in the third quarter of 2007, we increased the amount of this agreement from $1.5 billion to $2 billion. The other terms of the credit facility remain unchanged. Funds borrowed under this agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting our outstanding commercial paper issuances. This line of credit remains unused as of September 8, 2007.

In the third quarter of 2007, we updated our U.S. $2.5 billion euro medium term note program following the expiration of the existing program. Under the program, we may issue unsecured notes under mutually agreed upon terms with the purchasers of the notes. Proceeds from any issuance of notes may be used for general corporate purposes, except as otherwise specified in the related prospectus. As of September 8, 2007, we have no outstanding notes under the program.

As of September 8, 2007, we have reclassified $1.2 billion of short-term debt to long-term debt based on our intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis.

The Long-Term Contractual Commitments disclosed in Note 9 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2006 did not include any reserves for income taxes under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48). Because we are unable to reasonably predict the ultimate amount or timing of settlement of our reserves for income taxes, the Long-Term Contractual Commitments table has not been updated to include our reserves for income taxes. Subject to the foregoing, there has been no material change to the Long-Term Contractual Commitments table or our reserves for income taxes since December 30, 2006, and, therefore, the table has not been included in this Form 10-Q. As of September 8, 2007, our reserves for income taxes totaled $1.7 billion. See Income Taxes.

Income Taxes


In 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. As a result of our adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a $7 million decrease to reserves for income taxes, with a corresponding increase to retained earnings, as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year.

As of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year, the total gross amount of reserves for income taxes, which is reported in other liabilities, is $1.3 billion. Of that amount, $1.2 billion, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate. Any prospective adjustments to our reserves for income taxes will be recorded as an increase or decrease to provision for income taxes and would impact our effective tax rate. In addition, we accrue interest related to reserves for income taxes in provision for income taxes and any associated penalties are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The gross amount of interest accrued as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year is $0.3 billion.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and local jurisdictions, and many foreign jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe that our reserves for income taxes reflect the most probable outcome. We adjust these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. Settlement of any particular position would usually require the use of cash. The resolution of a matter would be recognized as an adjustment to our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.

The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Our major taxing jurisdictions include the U.S., Mexico, the United Kingdom and Canada. In the U.S, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in the fourth quarter of 2006, issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) related to the years 1998 through 2002. We are in agreement with their conclusion, except for one matter which we continue to dispute. We made the appropriate cash payment during the fourth quarter of 2006 to settle the agreed-upon issues, and we do not anticipate the resolution of the open matter will significantly impact our financial statements. The IRS initiated their audit of our U.S. tax returns for the years 2003 through 2005 during the first quarter of 2007. In Mexico, during 2006, we completed and agreed with the conclusions of an audit of our tax returns for the years 2001 through 2005. In the United Kingdom, audits have been completed for all taxable years prior to 2004. In Canada, audits have been completed for all taxable years prior to 2004. We are disputing some of the adjustments for the years 1999 through 2003. We do not anticipate the resolution of the 1999 through 2003 tax years will significantly impact our financial statements. The Canadian tax return for 2004 is currently under audit and no adjustments are expected to significantly impact our financial statements.

In the third quarter of 2007, we recognized $115 million of non-cash tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

In October 2007, Mexico enacted new tax legislation that will take effect on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new legislation on our financial statements and do not believe the impact to net income in 2007 will exceed $50 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


We adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of our 2007 fiscal year. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. As of our adoption date of FIN 48, our accounting is consistent with the guidance in FSP FIN 48-1. See Income Taxes.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective as of the beginning of our 2008 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial statements.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FINANCIAL REVIEW


Our discussion and analysis is an integral part of understanding our financial results. Also refer to Basis of Presentation and Our Divisions in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Tabular dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts. All per share amounts reflect common per share amounts, assume dilution unless noted, and are based on unrounded amounts. Percentage changes are based on unrounded amounts.

Our Critical Accounting Policies


Sales Incentives and Advertising and Marketing Costs

We offer sales incentives and discounts through various programs to customers and consumers. These incentives are accounted for as a reduction of revenue. Certain sales incentives are recognized at the time of sale while other incentives, such as bottler funding and customer volume rebates, are recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue, based on annual targets. Anticipated payments are estimated based on historical experience with similar programs and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels. Differences between estimated expense and actual incentive costs are normally insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. In addition, certain advertising and marketing costs are also recognized during the year incurred, generally in proportion to revenue.

Income Taxes

In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our estimated annual effective tax rate also reflects our best estimate of the ultimate outcome of tax audits. In accordance with our income tax policy, significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our employee stock options, which include grants under our executive program and broad-based SharePower program, under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. All stock option grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and generally have a 10-year term. The fair value of stock option grants is amortized to expense over the vesting period, generally three years. RSU expense is based on the fair value of PepsiCo stock on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally three years. Volatility reflects movements in our stock price over the most recent historical period equivalent to the expected life.

For our 2007 Black-Scholes assumptions, see Stock-Based Compensation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our Business Risks


We discuss expectations regarding our future performance, such as our business outlook, in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. These “forward-looking statements” are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. We undertake no obligations to update any forward-looking statement.

Our operations outside of the United States generate approximately 45% of our net revenue. As a result, we are exposed to foreign currency risks, including unforeseen economic changes and political unrest. During the 36 weeks, net favorable foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points to net revenue growth, primarily due to appreciation in the euro and British pound. Currency declines which are not offset could adversely impact our future results.

In the second quarter of 2007, we expanded our commodity hedging program to include derivative contracts used to mitigate our exposure to price changes associated with our purchases of fruit. Similar to our energy contracts, these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are marked to market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in corporate unallocated expenses. These gains and losses are then subsequently reflected in divisional results. We expect to be able to continue to reduce the impact of increases in our raw material and energy costs through our hedging strategies and ongoing productivity initiatives.

Cautionary statements included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 should be considered when evaluating our trends and future results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated Review


In the discussions of net revenue and operating profit below, “effective net pricing” reflects the year-over-year impact of discrete pricing actions, sales incentive activities and mix resulting from selling varying products in different package sizes and in different countries.

Volume

Since our divisions each use different measures of physical unit volume, a common servings metric is necessary to reflect our consolidated physical unit volume. For the 12 weeks, total servings increased almost 4%, with worldwide beverages growing 3.5% and worldwide snacks growing 4.5%. For the 36 weeks, total servings increased 4%, with worldwide beverages growing 4% and worldwide snacks growing 6%.

We discuss volume for our beverage businesses on a bottler case sales (BCS) basis in which all beverage volume is converted to an 8-ounce-case metric. A portion of our volume is sold by our bottlers, and that portion is based on our bottlers’ sales to retailers and independent distributors. The remainder of our volume is based on our shipments to retailers and independent distributors. BCS is reported to us by our bottlers on a monthly basis. Our third quarter beverage volume includes bottler sales for June, July, and August. Concentrate shipments and equivalents (CSE) represent our physical beverage volume shipments to bottlers, retailers and independent distributors, and is the measure upon which our revenue is based.

12 Weeks

Net revenue increased 11% reflecting positive effective net pricing across all divisions, as well as our volume growth. Effective net pricing contributed 3.5 percentage points to net revenue growth and the volume gains contributed 2 percentage points. Acquisitions contributed 3 percentage points and foreign currency contributed nearly 3 percentage points to net revenue growth.

 

18


Table of Contents

Total operating profit increased 11% and operating margin was unchanged. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, partially offset by the impact of higher raw material costs.

Corporate unallocated expenses increased 0.5% primarily reflecting higher net losses of $28 million from certain mark-to-market derivatives, mostly offset by lower deferred compensation costs of $16 million. The decrease in deferred compensation costs is offset (as a reduction to interest income) by losses on investments used to economically hedge these costs.

36 Weeks

Net revenue increased 10% primarily reflecting positive effective net pricing across all divisions, as well as our volume growth. Effective net pricing contributed 3.5 percentage points to net revenue growth and the volume gains contributed 3 percentage points. The impact of acquisitions contributed over 2 percentage points to net revenue growth and foreign currency contributed 2 percentage points.

Total operating profit increased 11% and margin increased 0.1 percentage points. The operating profit performance reflects leverage from the revenue growth, partially offset by the impact of higher raw material costs.

Corporate unallocated expenses decreased 2.5% reflecting lower pension costs of $13 million and foreign exchange gains of $9 million. In 2006, corporate unallocated expenses also reflect a gain of $11 million related to the revaluation of an asset held for sale.

Table of Contents

Net interest expense increased $24 million primarily reflecting losses of $10 million in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs, compared to gains of $6 million in the prior year. The unfavorable impact of lower average investment balances was mostly offset by higher average interest rates on investments.

The tax rate decreased 4.7 percentage points compared to the prior year primarily due to $115 million of tax benefits in the current quarter related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

Net income increased 17% and the related net income per share increased 19%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth and the $115 million of tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

36 Weeks

Bottling equity income increased 6% primarily reflecting higher earnings from our anchor bottlers.

Net interest expense increased $9 million primarily reflecting the impact of lower investment balances and higher average rates on our debt, partially offset by lower average debt balances and higher average interest rates on our investments. Net interest expense also reflected $6 million of gains in the market value of investments used to economically hedge a portion of our deferred compensation costs, compared to gains of $8 million in the prior year.

The tax rate decreased 3.2 percentage points compared to the prior year primarily due to the $115 million of tax benefits in the current quarter related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters.

Net income increased 15% and the related net income per share increased 17%. These increases primarily reflect our solid operating profit growth, as well as the decrease in our effective tax rate which includes the impact of the $115 million of tax benefits related to the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters. Net income per share was also favorably impacted by our share repurchases.

BCS volume declined 1% driven by a 3% decline in carbonated soft drinks (CSD), partially offset by a 2% increase in non-carbonated beverages. The decline in CSDs reflects a mid-single-digit decline in trademark Pepsi, partially offset by a low-single-digit increase in trademark Mountain Dew. Trademark Sierra Mist volume was flat. Across the brands, regular and diet CSDs experienced a low-single-digit decline. The non-carbonated portfolio performance was driven by double-digit growth in Lipton ready-to-drink teas and high-single-digit growth in waters and enhanced waters under the Aquafina, Propel and SoBe trademarks, partially offset by mid-single-digit declines in both Gatorade and our juice and juice drinks portfolio. The decline in our juice and juice drinks portfolio reflects a double-digit decline in Tropicana Pure Premium driven by significant price increases taken in prior quarters.

Net revenue grew 3% driven by net price increases, primarily on Tropicana Pure Premium and CSD concentrate. Acquisitions contributed 2 percentage points to net revenue growth.

Operating profit increased 7% reflecting the net revenue growth, as well as manufacturing and distribution efficiencies, partially offset by higher cost of sales, mainly due to higher fruit and juice costs. Operating profit also benefited from the absence of amortization expense recorded in 2006 related to a prior acquisition. The impact of acquisitions reduced operating profit by 1 percentage point.

Smart Spot eligible products represented over 70% of net revenue. These products experienced low-single-digit net revenue growth, while the balance of the portfolio grew in the mid-single-digit range.

OUR LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities

During the 36 weeks, our operations provided $5.2 billion of cash, primarily reflecting our solid business results, compared to $4.3 billion in the prior year. Our operating cash flow in 2006 also reflects a tax payment of $420 million related to our repatriation of international cash in connection with the American Jobs Creation Act (AJCA).

We make periodic regulatory contributions to our qualified pension plans during the course of the year. We also make annual discretionary contributions to these plans to maintain fully funded status on an accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) basis. We expect the assets for these plans to meet or exceed the liabilities for service to date as of September 30, 2007, our measurement date.

Investing Activities

During the 36 weeks, we used $1.9 billion for our investing activities primarily reflecting $1.3 billion for capital spending and $1.0 billion for acquisitions. Significant acquisitions included our acquisition of the remaining interest in a snacks joint venture in Latin America, our acquisitions of Naked Juice Company and Bluebird Foods, and the acquisition of a minority interest in a juice company in the Ukraine through a joint venture with PepsiAmericas, Inc. Proceeds from our sale of PBG stock of $296 million partially offset the use of cash.

We anticipate net capital spending of approximately $2.6 billion in 2007, which is expected to be within our net capital spending target of approximately 5% to 7% of net revenue in each of the next few years.

Table of Contents

Financing Activities

During the 36 weeks, we used $3.9 billion for our financing activities, primarily reflecting the return of operating cash flow to our shareholders through common share repurchases of $3.1 billion and dividend payments of $1.6 billion, as well as net repayments of short-term borrowings of $402 million. The use of cash was partially offset by stock option proceeds of $666 million and net proceeds from issuances of long-term debt of $463 million.

In the second quarter of 2007, our Board of Directors approved an increase in our targeted dividend payout rate from 45% to 50% of prior year’s earnings, excluding certain items. The Board of Directors also authorized stock repurchases of up to an additional $8 billion through mid-2010, once the current share repurchase authorization is complete. The current $8.5 billion authorization began in 2006 and has approximately $4.2 billion remaining.

Management Operating Cash Flow

We focus on management operating cash flow as a key element in achieving maximum shareholder value, and it is the primary measure we use to monitor cash flow performance. However, it is not a measure provided by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Since net capital spending is essential to our product innovation initiatives and maintaining our operational capabilities, we believe that it is a recurring and necessary use of cash. As such, we believe investors should also consider net capital spending when evaluating our cash from operating activities. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities as reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to our management operating cash flow.

During 2007, we expect to return approximately all of our management operating cash flow to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. and “Our Business Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 for certain factors that may impact our operating cash flows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

PepsiCo, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 8, 2007, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-six weeks ended September 8, 2007 and September 9, 2006. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of PepsiCo, Inc.’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Common Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 16, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During our third fiscal quarter of 2007, we continued migrating certain of our financial processing systems to SAP software. This software implementation is part of our ongoing global Business Process Transformation initiative, and we plan to continue implementing such software throughout our businesses over the course of the next few years. In connection with the SAP implementation and resulting business process changes, we continue to enhance the design and documentation of our internal control processes to ensure suitable controls over our financial reporting. Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our third fiscal quarter of 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
