Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Coca-Cola Company Thrift & Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009.  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, 2009 and 2008 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note 1 — Description of Plan

The following description of The Coca-Cola Company Thrift & Investment Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan was originally adopted effective July 1, 1960 and was last amended and restated effective January 1, 2010. The Plan is a defined contribution pension plan covering employees of The Coca-Cola Company and its participating subsidiaries (the “Company”), with the exception of employees represented by bargaining units which have not negotiated coverage and others listed in the Plan document. Eligible employees may begin participating in the Plan upon hire with the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Contributions

The election to contribute to the Plan by employees (“Participants”) is voluntary. Participant contributions are in the form of payroll deductions with the Company currently making a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 3% of compensation contributed by a Participant each payroll period, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). All Company contributions are initially invested in the common stock of The Coca-Cola Company.  Participants may redirect all or any of these Company contributions into other investment options in the Plan.

Participants may contribute to the Plan with “Before-Tax” dollars and/or “After-Tax” dollars. “Before-Tax” contributions are not subject to current federal income taxes but are subject to Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes. “Before-Tax” and “After-Tax” contributions are limited in total to 25% of compensation, subject to certain limitations. For 2009, the maximum “Before-Tax” annual contribution amount under the Code was $16,500.

Participants who are age 50 or older by the end of the year may make additional “Catch-Up” contributions with “Before-Tax” dollars provided certain Plan or Internal Revenue Service limits have been met. For 2009, the maximum “Catch-Up” contribution amount was $5,500.

All contributions are paid to the Trustee and are invested as directed by Participants and the Company. Participants may direct their contributions into a money market fund, common stock of The Coca-Cola Company, collective trust funds and mutual funds with various investment objectives and strategies. Participants are allowed to roll over account balances from a previous employer’s tax-qualified retirement plan or Individual Retirement Accounts into the Plan.

Note 1 — Description of Plan (Continued)

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferral contributions and related earnings, while vesting in Company contributions is based on a graduated schedule over a three-year period as follows: 33% after one year of service, 67% after two years of service and 100% after three years of service.

Forfeited Accounts

Forfeited amounts are generally used to reduce employer contributions or pay administrative expenses of the Plan. The forfeited account balances were approximately $886,000 and $951,000 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Plan used approximately $177,000 of forfeitures to reduce employer contributions during 2009.

Valuation of Participant Accounts

Participant account balances are valued based upon the number of shares of each investment credited to Participant accounts. Shares are revalued on a daily basis to reflect earnings and other transactions. Shares of common stock of The Coca-Cola Company are revalued on a daily basis to reflect changes in fair value. Participant accounts are updated on a daily basis to reflect transactions affecting account balances.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their account balances subject to certain limitations. Participant loans may be taken from a combination of “Before-Tax,” “After-Tax,” and “Rollover” account balances. The following applies to Participant loans:

(a)          The maximum amount that a Participant may borrow is the lesser of 50% of their 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 on the business day prior to the day the loan is requested.

(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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 1 — Description of Plan (Continued)

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The portion of the Plan invested in common stock of The Coca-Cola Company is designated as an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7). Participants invested in common stock of The Coca-Cola Company may elect to receive their entire dividend amount as a cash payment made directly to them rather than have the dividend amount reinvested in their Plan account. The total amount of dividends paid directly to Participants was $2,197,200 during 2009. These dividends are included in Dividend income from common stock and Distributions to participants on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Payment of Benefits

Upon retirement, termination or disability, Participants may elect to receive payment from the Plan in a lump-sum distribution, installments or in partial payments (a portion paid in a lump sum, and the remainder paid later). Participants may elect in-service distributions from After-Tax account balances, or after attaining age 59½ from all vested account balances. Participants may elect to receive payment of the portion of their accounts invested in common stock of The Coca-Cola Company in shares rather than cash (“in-kind distributions”).

Administration

The Plan is administered by The Coca-Cola Company Benefits Committee (the “Committee”) which, as administrator, has substantial control of and discretion over the administration of the Plan.  Bank of America, N.A. is the trustee of the Plan (the “Trustee”).

Plan Termination

The Company, by action of the Committee, reserves the right to, at any time and for any reason, terminate the Plan or completely discontinue contributions to the Plan.  The Plan shall be terminated or contributions shall be discontinued by a written instrument approved by the Committee by resolution.

In the event of the Plan’s termination, if no successor plan is established or maintained, lump sum distributions shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Plan as in effect at the time of the Plan’s termination or as thereafter amended.  To the extent any Trust assets represent amounts allocated to a Code Section 415 suspense account, such amounts may revert to the Employer.  The Administrator’s authority shall continue beyond the Plan’s termination date until all Trust assets have been liquidated and distributed.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan management to make estimates that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820).  Money market funds are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The investments in common stock of The Coca-Cola Company are stated at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. The investments in collective trust funds are stated at fair value, based on quoted redemption values, also known as net asset values, determined by the investment managers on the last business day of the Plan year. The investments in mutual funds are based on the publicly quoted final net asset values on the last business day of the Plan year. Participant loans are valued based upon remaining unpaid principal balance plus any unpaid accrued interest.

Investment Transactions and Income

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis. The net appreciation or depreciation in fair value of investments consists of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains or losses of these investments during the year. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the basis of average cost. Unrealized gains or losses on investments are based on changes in the market values or fair values of such investments.

Payment of Benefits

Distributions to participants are recorded when payment is made. In-kind distributions are recorded based on the market value of the shares at the date of distribution.

Administrative expenses

Certain administrative expenses were paid by the Plan, as permitted by the Plan Document. All other administrative expenses were paid by the Company.

Note 3 — Investments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted FASB ASC 820 which established a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  ASC 820 also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

The fair values of investments as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are summarized in the tables below:

Note 3 — Investments (Continued)

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Plan’s investments (including investments purchased, sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in fair value as follows:

Note 4 — Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Plan had the following transactions relating to common stock of The Coca-Cola Company:

The Plan held the following investments in common stock of The Coca-Cola Company:

The Plan’s investments in the Cash Management Account and Retirement Preservation Trust are managed by Bank of America, N.A.  The Plan’s investments in the Government Fund, Small Cap Index Fund, International Index Fund, Basic Value Fund, Equity Index Fund, Global Allocation Fund, and Large Cap Core Fund are managed by BlackRock, Inc., an affiliate of the Trustee, and, therefore, the transactions in these funds qualify as party-in-interest.   Effective November 2, 2009, the charter of Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Company, FSB collapsed into Bank of America, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. became the successor trustee.

Note 5 — Risk and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. 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 at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect Participant account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

Note 6 — Income Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 25, 2003, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. The Plan was amended subsequent to receipt of the determination letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Committee and the Company’s tax counsel believe the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believe the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

Note 7 - Subsequent Events

We have evaluated material events and transactions that have occurred after the balance sheet date and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued, June 25, 2010, that require adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.
