The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included.  Results from operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 23, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 29, 2012.

The September 24, 2011 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2011.  Throughout this presentation, we refer to the consolidated company as the “Company” and, unless otherwise noted, the information provided is on a consolidated basis.
