At March 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $272.2 million in green coffee purchase commitments, of which approximately 87% had a fixed price.  These commitments primarily extend through fiscal 2014.  The value of the variable portion of these commitments was calculated using an average “C” price of coffee of $1.47 per pound at March 30, 2013.  In addition to its green coffee commitments, the Company had approximately $201.0 million in fixed price brewer and related accessory purchase commitments and $531.5 million in production raw material commitments at March 30, 2013.  The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers, that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.
