Depreciation and amortization expense was $61.7 million, $58.7 million and $60.5 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts included amortization expense for leased property under capital leases.

During 2011, the Company performed a review of property, plant and equipment and determined there was no impairment to be recorded.

During 2010, the Company performed a review of property, plant and equipment. As a result of this review, $.9 million was recorded to impairment expense for five Company-owned sales distribution centers held-for-sale. The Company also recorded accelerated depreciation of $.5 million for certain other property, plant and equipment which was replaced in the first quarter of 2011. During 2010, the Company also determined the warehouse operations in Sumter, South Carolina would be relocated to other facilities and recorded impairment and accelerated depreciation of $2.2 million for the value of equipment and real estate related to the Sumter, South Carolina property.

The Company changed the estimate of the useful lives of certain cold drink dispensing equipment from thirteen to fifteen years in the first quarter of 2009 to better reflect actual useful lives. The change in the estimate of the useful lives reduced depreciation expense by $4.4 million in 2009.
