Global economic conditions have been progressing as we expected during the quarter, thus resulting in the gradually improving volume trends. I am pleased to say that we are experiencing improving unit case volume trends in each of our operating groups when compared to the trends of the previous two quarters.

To those people who suffered, especially children, my colleagues and I want to express a very sincere apology. We strive to make sure that Coca-Cola always stands for good feelings, and we regret that it instead resulted in feelings of illness.

While there are difficult economic environments throughout Asia, our fundamental business remains strong.
