 Tax & Treasury                      TaxationRegulations around consumer health and the risk of taxation on our products, could impact demand and affect our profitability. In 2014, a number of governments continued to contemplate taxes targeting our products and packaging waste recovery. This is a trend we expect to continue.                        We continue to proactively work with regulators to ensure that the facts are understood and our products are not singled out    Cost Leadership

Independent review report to Coca-Cola HBC AG 
 
Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements 
 
Our conclusion 
 
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements,
defined below, in the 'half-yearly financial report' of Coca-Cola HBC AG for
the six months ended 3 July 2015. Based on our review, nothing has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 and the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. 
 
This conclusion is to be read in the context of what we say in the remainder
of this report. 
 
What we have reviewed 
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which are prepared by
Coca-Cola HBC AG, comprise: 
 
·    the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet as at 3 July 2015; 
 
·    the condensed consolidated interim income statement for the six month
period then ended; 
 
·    the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for
the six month period then ended; 
 
·    the condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity for the
six month period then ended; 
 
·    the condensed consolidated interim cash flow statement for the six month
period then ended; and 
 
·    the explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements. 
 
As disclosed in note 1, the financial reporting framework that has been
applied in the preparation of the full annual financial statements of the
group is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. 
 
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in the
half-yearly financial report have been prepared in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct
Authority. 
 
What a review of condensed consolidated financial statements involves 
 
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity' issued by the International Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board. A review of interim financial information consists
of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. 
 
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us
to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that
might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion. 
 
We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial
report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements. 
 
Responsibilities for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
and the review 
 
Our responsibilities and those of the directors 
 
The half-yearly financial report, including the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the
directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly
financial report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of
the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority. 
 
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report
based on our review. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared
for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure
and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and for no other
purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility
for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or
into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent
in writing.

Notes: 
 
(a)       The maintenance and integrity of the Coca-Cola HBC AG website is the
responsibility of the directors; the work carried out by the auditors does not
involve consideration of these matters and, accordingly, the auditors accept
no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial
statements since they were initially presented on the website. 
 
(b)       Legislation in the United Kingdom and Switzerland governing the
preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.

Selected explanatory notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements (unaudited) 
 
1.      Accounting policies 
 
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements of  Coca-Cola HBC AG ('Coca-Cola HBC', the
'Company' or the 'Group') are consistent with those used in the 2014 annual
financial statements. 
 
Amendmends to IFRSs effective for the financial year ending 31 December 2015
are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements but may affect disclosures. 
 
Basis of preparation 
 
Operating results for the first half of 2015 are not indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending 31 December 2015 because of business
seasonality. Business seasonality results from higher unit sales of the
Group's products in the warmer months of the year. The Group's methods of
accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation and interest expense are not
significantly affected by business seasonality. 
 
Costs that are incurred unevenly during the financial year are anticipated or
deferred in the interim report only if it would also be appropriate to
anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the financial year. 
 
Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that
would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss. 
 
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") applicable to Interim
Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). These condensed consolidated interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the 2014 annual financial
statements, which include a full description of the Group's accounting
policies and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the
IASB. 
 
Comparative figures have been reclassified and adjusted where necessary to
conform with changes in presentation in the current year. More specifically in
Note 17 Related party transactions, an amount of E17.0 million for the first
half of 2014, referring to purchases of finished goods from The Coca-Cola
Company (TCCC) and its subsidiaries from joint ventures with The Coca-Cola
Company, was reclassified to purchases of finished goods from Joint Ventures.
As a result, transactions with joint ventures undertaken with The Coca-Cola
Company are reported under Joint Ventures. 
 
2.      Exchange rates 
 
The Group's reporting currency is the euro (E). Coca-Cola HBC translates the
income statements of subsidiary operations to the euro at average exchange
rates and the balance sheet at the closing exchange rate for the period. 
 
The principal exchange rates used for transaction and translation purposes in
respect of one euro were:
