Effective March 6, 2014, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., changed its name to Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., (referred to together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Keurig”).

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.

The September 28, 2013 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 Keurig’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.  Throughout these consolidated unaudited financial statements and footnotes, unless otherwise noted, the information provided is on a consolidated basis.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial data have been included.  Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year.  Historically, in addition to variations resulting from the holiday season, sales may vary from quarter-to-quarter due to a variety of other factors including, but not limited to, the cost of green coffee, competitor initiatives, marketing programs and weather.
