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 statement of the interim financial data have been included.  Results from operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended March 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 28, 2013.

The September 29, 2012 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 29, 2012.  Throughout this presentation, we refer to the consolidated company as the “Company” and, unless otherwise noted, the information provided is on a consolidated basis.
