INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

GENERAL

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting,” or the “Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, March 15, 2007 at 10 A.M. at the Company’s offices located at 81 Demeritt Place, Waterbury, Vermont. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders of record on or about February 13, 2007.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to (1) consider and vote upon a proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of shares of common stock which the Company has the authority to issue from 20,000,000 shares to 60,000,000; (2) elect the following nominees as Class II Directors of the Company to serve for a three-year term until the Company’s Annual Meeting in 2010 and until the election and qualification of their respective successors: Barbara D. Carlini and Hinda Miller; and (3) transact such other business as may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The principal offices of the Company are 33 Coffee Lane, Waterbury, Vermont 05676, and the Company’s telephone number is (800) 545-2326.

VOTING

To vote by proxy, please mark, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

As of the close of business on January 22, 2007, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting,              shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share, were outstanding. The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum.

Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the record date. Stockholders may not cumulate votes for the election of directors. Directors are elected by plurality vote. If shares are not voted by the broker who is the record holder of the shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to any matter, these non-voted shares are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval has been obtained, but are counted for quorum purposes.

If a nominee for director is unable to serve as a director, the persons appointed as proxy for the Annual Meeting may, in his or her discretion, vote for another person as director or vote to reduce the number of directors to less than six, as the Board may recommend.

SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

ITEM 1: PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF

INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMPANY

COMMON STOCK

Stockholders are being asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate”) to increase the number of authorized shares of Company common stock from 20 million shares to 60 million shares. On January 15, 2007, the Board approved this amendment, subject to stockholder approval, and directed that this amendment be submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The Board has determined that this amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends approval by the stockholders.

The Certificate currently authorizes the issuance of up to 20 million shares of Company common stock, each with a par value of $0.10 per share. As of the close of business on January 12, 2007, 7,716,083 shares of common stock were outstanding. In addition, as of the close of business on January 12, 2007, the Company had 1,076,160 shares of common stock subject to outstanding stock options and 509,462 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to future grants under the Company’s current stock incentive plans. The Certificate also authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are currently outstanding. The proposed amendment will not increase or otherwise affect the Company’s authorized preferred stock.

Purpose of Amendment

The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock in order to give the Company greater flexibility in considering and planning for future potential business needs. In particular, the Board would like to have sufficient number of shares of common stock available to effect a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend of one share of common stock for each share of common stock outstanding on the record date for such stock split, which has not yet been determined. The Board believes that a stock split would benefit the Company and its stockholders because it would be expected to place the market price of the Company’s common stock in a range that is more attractive to investors, which may result in improved liquidity and enhanced trading volume for our common stock. However, the Board has not made a final determination with respect to a stock split nor has it set a definite record date for such a split. Any decision to effect a stock split would be based on market factors and other considerations. Without the approval by the stockholders of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, the Board would be unable to authorize a 2-for-1 stock split and have a sufficient reserve of common stock remaining to consider and plan for future potential business needs.

Excluding the stock split discussed above, the Company has no current plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement regarding the issuance of the additional shares of common stock resulting from the proposed increase in authorized shares. The additional shares of common stock will be available for issuance by the Board for various corporate purposes, including but not

3

limited to, stock splits, stock dividends, grants under employee stock plans, financings, corporate mergers and acquisitions and other general corporate transactions. Having this additional authorized common stock available for future use will allow the Company to issue additional shares of common stock without the expense and delay of arranging a special meeting of stockholders.

Possible Effects of the Amendment and Additional Anti-takeover Consideration

If the amendment to the Certificate is approved, the additional authorized shares would be available for issuance at the discretion of the Board and without further stockholder approval, except as may be required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The additional shares of authorized common stock would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding. The adoption of the amendment would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders. The proposed stock split, should it be effected, would reduce the Company’s earnings per share but would not affect voting rights of current stockholders, as each stockholder would continue to hold the same percentage interest in the Company. However, to the extent that the additional authorized shares of common stock are issued in the future outside of the considered stock split, they may decrease existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the voting rights of existing stockholders and have a negative effect on the market price of the common stock. Current stockholders have no preemptive or similar rights, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of common stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership thereof.

The Company has not proposed the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock with the intention of using the additional authorized shares for anti-takeover purposes, but the Company would be able to use the additional shares to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board could sell shares of common stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the current Board. Although this proposal to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt, stockholders should be aware that approval of this proposal could facilitate future efforts by the Company to oppose changes in control of the Company and perpetuate the Company’s management, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. The Company could also use the additional shares of common stock for potential strategic transactions including, among other things, acquisitions, spin-offs, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, divestitures, business combinations and investments, although the Company has no present plans to do so.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK .

ITEM 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is currently composed of six directors and is divided into three classes. Each year one class of directors stands for election for a three-year term. The term of office for Class I Directors, consisting of William D. Davis, Jules A. del Vecchio and Robert P. Stiller will expire at the 2009 Annual Meeting. The term of office for Class II Directors, consisting of Barbara D. Carlini and Hinda Miller will expire at the 2007 Annual Meeting. The term of office for the Class III Director, David E. Moran, will expire at the 2008 Annual Meeting.

The Company’s bylaws provide that the number of directors of the Company may be established by resolution of the Board. As of the 2004 Annual Meeting the number of directors of the Company was reduced from eight to seven, with three directors in Class I and two directors in Class II and two directors in Class III. Ms. Brooks, who was a Class III director, resigned in September 2006.

At the 2007 Annual Meeting, two persons are to be elected as Class II Directors to hold a three-year term of office from the date of their election until the 2010 Annual Meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The two nominees for election as Class II Directors are Barbara D. Carlini and Hinda Miller, each of whom is currently a Class II Director. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a director if elected.

GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES

The Board of the Company met seven times in fiscal 2006. During that year each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and committees of which he or she was a member. Following the 2007 Annual Meeting, provided that the nominees, Ms. Carlini and Ms. Miller, are re-elected to the Board, the Board has determined that a majority of the directors will be independent as required by the NASD Marketplace Rules (the “NASDAQ Rules”). The Board has affirmatively determined by resolution that directors (or nominees) Davis, Carlini, Miller and Moran are independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(145) of the NASDAQ Rules. During fiscal 2006 the independent directors attended three special executive session meetings in which no other directors were present.

Although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it encourages directors to attend and historically more than a majority have done so. All members of the Board who were members on March 16, 2006, the date of the last annual meeting of stockholders, attended the meeting.

Historically, the Company has not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with the Board. In view of the infrequency of stockholder communications to the Board, the Board does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. The Company believes its responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board has been excellent.

Governance and Nominating Committee. The principal function of the Board’s standing Governance and Nominating Committee is to review and recommend qualified candidates to the Board for nomination for election to the Board. Directors Carlini, Miller (Chairperson) and Moran constituted this committee in fiscal 2006. Each of these directors is considered an independent director as prescribed by the NASDAQ Rules. The committee met three times in fiscal 2006.

The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. Recommendations may be sent to the Governance and Nominating Committee c/o Frances G. Rathke, Secretary, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., 33 Coffee Lane, Waterbury, VT 05676.

The Board has adopted a charter for the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee Charter is posted on the Company’s website. The Internet address for the Company’s website is http://www.GreenMountainCoffee.com and the Governance and Nominating Committee Charter may be found as follows:

1. From the Company’s home page, first click on “Investor Services.”

2. Next, under the heading Committee Charters click on “Governance and Nominating Charter.”

Historically, the Company has not had a formal policy concerning stockholder recommendations of nominees to the Board or the Governance and Nominating Committee. To date, the Company has not received any recommendations from stockholders requesting consideration of a candidate for inclusion among the Committee’s slate of nominees in the Company’s proxy statement. The absence of such a policy does not mean, however, that a recommendation would not have been considered had one been received.

In evaluating director nominees, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers the following factors:

• the appropriate size and the diversity of the Company’s Board of Directors;

• the needs of the Company with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors;

• the knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in the food and beverage industry, business, finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;

• familiarity with national and international business matters;

• experience in political affairs;

• experience with accounting rules and practices;

• appreciation of the relationship of the Company’s business to the changing needs of society; and

• the desire to balance the considerable benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new members.

The Governance and Nominating Committee’s goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings to the Company a variety of perspectives and skills derived from business and professional experience. In doing so the Governance and Nominating Committee also considers candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing guidelines there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Governance and Nominating Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In its deliberations, the Governance and Nominating Committee is aware that one member of the Board should meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules, and that a majority of the members of the Board must be comprised of “independent directors” as defined in Rule 4200 of the NASDAQ Rules. The Governance and Nominating Committee also believes it appropriate for Company’s management to participate as members of the Board.

9

The Governance and Nominating Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining a new perspective. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Governance and Nominating Committee or the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Governance and Nominating Committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Governance and Nominating Committee and Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria of the Governance and Nominating Committee. Research may also be performed to identify qualified individuals. In October 2006, the Company engaged Spencer Stuart, an executive recruiting firm, to assist in identifying potential candidates for the Board with the intention of appointing one or two new Board members in fiscal 2007.

Compensation Committee. The Board’s standing Compensation Committee, composed of non-employee directors, establishes, implements and monitors the strategy, policies and plans of the Company for the compensation of all executive officers of the Company. Its duties include reviewing and determining the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, including setting any Company or business unit performance goals. Directors Carlini (Chairperson), Davis, Miller and Moran constituted this Committee in fiscal 2006. All of these directors are independent within the meaning of Rule 4200 of the NASDAQ Rules. The Committee met five times during fiscal 2006.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently consists of Directors Carlini, Davis (Chairperson), and Miller, each of whom satisfies the audit committee independence standard under Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 4200 of the NASDAQ Rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Davis is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The principal duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to:

• Serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial reporting process and internal control system;

• Appoint, evaluate and replace any registered public accounting firm employed by the Company for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work (the “Auditors”);

• To review and appraise the audit efforts and independence of the Auditors;

• Review and appraise the efforts and effectiveness of the Company’s internal auditing efforts; and

• Provide an avenue of communication among the Auditors, financial and senior management, the internal auditing function and the Board.

The Audit Committee met eight times during fiscal 2006. Seven of these eight meetings included the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP audit partner, the audit manager, as well as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Internal Auditor and other members of management. Additional information regarding the Audit Committee and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is disclosed under the heading Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Audit Committee Report.

The Audit Committee Report below, and the Performance Graph on page 17, shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act that might incorporate future filings, including this Proxy Statement, in whole or in part, neither of the reports nor the Performance Graph shall be incorporated by reference into any such filings.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

This report is furnished by the Company’s Audit Committee with respect to the Company’s financial statements for fiscal 2006.

The Committee operates pursuant to a written charter. A copy of the Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter is enclosed in Appendix C of this Proxy Statement and is posted on the Company’s website.

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of complete and accurate financial statements. The independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report on their audit. The Audit Committee oversees and monitors the Company’s management and the independent registered public accounting firm throughout the financial reporting process.

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management of the Company the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal 2006. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has also discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP the Company’s independent registered accounting firm for fiscal 2006, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards 61, Communication with Audit Committees (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as in effect for the Company’s fiscal 2006. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) as in effect for the Company’s fiscal 2006. The Committee also has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP the auditors’ independence.

11

Based on the review and discussions referred to in the foregoing paragraph, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee in the Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of the Company that the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal 2006 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of the Company for fiscal 2007.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION

Directors who are also employees of the Company do not receive compensation for serving as directors. Directors who are not employees of the Company are paid a retainer and are reimbursed for ordinary and necessary travel expenses incurred in connection with attendance at each Board meeting.

Kathryn S. Brooks	7,900	1.9	%	39.76	39.76	05/03/2016	149,000

James E. Travis	8,500	2.0	%	39.76	39.76	05/03/2016	161,000

⁽¹⁾ The options, which were granted under the Company’s 2006 Incentive Plan, generally become exercisable over a four-year period.

⁽²⁾ In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the Black-Scholes option pricing model was chosen to estimate the grant date present value of the options set forth in this table. The Company’s use of this model should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy at valuing options. All stock option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model, require a prediction about the future movement of the stock price. The following assumptions were made for purposes of calculating the Present Value at Date of Grant: an expected life averaging 5 years, an average volatility of 43%, no dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate averaging 5%.

The Company has not repriced any stock options during fiscal 2006. On the basis of interim guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and and its Chief Financial Officer Ms.Rathke agreed to amend a discounted option to avoid the adverse tax consequences of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code by increasing the exercise price of the option to the fair market value on the date of its grant. Except for this amendment, it is the Company’s current intention not to reprice stock options irrespective of whether plan documents would otherwise permit that action.

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES

The following table sets forth information (on an aggregated basis) concerning each exercise of stock options during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, by each of the Named Executive Officers and the fiscal year-end value of unexercised options.

James E. Travis	—	—	3,750	19,750	—	—

⁽¹⁾ Options are “in-the-money” at the fiscal year-end if the fair market value of the underlying securities on such date exceeds the exercise or base price of the option. At September 30, 2006, the closing price quoted on the Nasdaq National Market was $36.80.

On September 14, 2000, the Board of the Company adopted a resolution establishing the Green Mountain Coffee, Inc., Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP is qualified under sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers, with one year or more of service who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Company may, at its discretion, contribute shares of Company stock or cash that is used to purchase shares of Company stock. Company contributions are credited to eligible participants’ accounts pro-rata based on their compensation. For Plan participants hired before January 1, 2002, Plan benefits vested ratably over five years from the date of hire of the employee. For Plan participants hired after January 1, 2002, Plan benefits vest after five years of employment. The Company recorded ESOP compensation costs of $200,000 annually for each of the fiscal years ended on September 30, 2006, September 24, 2005, and September 25, 2004. The Company loaned the ESOP $2,000,000 during the fiscal year ended on September 29, 2001 pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated April 16, 2001. During fiscal 2001, the ESOP purchased 86,300 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market purchases. As of September 30, 2006, 9,770 of those shares remained unallocated to Plan participants.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR FY 2006

The Compensation Committee of the Board is composed of outside directors, none of whom is currently or was formerly an officer or employee of the Company. The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to support the organizational performance of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. through the alignment of executive compensation strategies, organizational development initiatives, human resources programs, and related plans. It is responsible for establishing and monitoring the compensation strategy, policies and plans for all executive officers of the Company and the compensation of the CEO. All the members of the Compensation Committee are independent under SEC rules and the NASDAQ listing requirements.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a corporation’s chief executive officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers. In adopting and administering executive compensation plans and arrangements, the Committee considers whether the deductibility of such compensation will be limited under Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Compensation Committee’s fiscal 2006 policy was to compensate the executive officers in ways that would: (1) encourage Company growth and profitability, (2) maintain market-competitive compensation, and (3) reward superior performance by the executive officers. The factors and criteria upon which the Committee determined the fiscal 2006 base compensation of its executive officers included external market benchmarking and internal assessment of each executive officer’s performance, experience, responsibilities and skills. The 2006 short-term bonuses were based upon the Company achieving certain earnings per share and operating profit targets. Payouts were made to senior management of the Company according to the plan.

The Committee believes that this approach aligns the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Compensation Committee was assisted by Bucks Consulting in its review and evaluation of executive compensation. The Chief Executive Officer recommended fiscal 2006 salary and bonus targets for each executive officer other than the Chief Executive Officer that reflected a benchmark to market, internal equity, and individual performance. The Committee accepted the recommendations.

The Committee established the salary and bonus for the Chief Executive Officer, which it also benchmarked to market compensation rates.

SEC rules require reporting persons to supply the Company with copies of these reports.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received and written representations from reporting persons, the Company believes that with respect to fiscal 2006 all reporting persons timely filed the required reports except for Paul Comey, Michael Dupee, Dave Moran, James Prevo and Robert Stiller who each filed one late Form 4 covering a single transaction.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is mailing its 2006 Annual Report to its stockholders with this Proxy Statement. The 2006 Annual Report contains the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 can also be accessed online at the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, www.sec.gov. The documents are also available without charge by requesting them in writing from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. at 33 Coffee Lane, Waterbury VT 05676, or by telephone at (802) 244-5621.

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board is not aware of any matters not set forth herein that may come before the Annual Meeting. However, if other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote as the Board directs.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2006. The Company expects that a representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will attend the Annual Meeting. This representative will have an opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s auditor for the current fiscal year.

23

Fees (including reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses) paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services in fiscal 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

	2005		2006
Audit Fees *	$	896,000	$	966,000
Audit-Related Fees	$	8,000	$	151,000
Tax Fees		—		—
All Other Fees		—		—

* The 2006 and 2005 Audit Fees include approximately $580,000 and $753,000, respectively, for attestation services related to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The above amounts relate to services provided in the indicated fiscal years, irrespective of when they were billed. Audit-related fees consisted primarily of consultation concerning accounting and financial reporting and review of the Company’s internal controls. The Audit Committee considered the compatibility of non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with the maintenance of that firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee generally approves all engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm in advance including approval of the related fees. The Audit Committee approves an annual budget (and may from time to time approve amendments), which specifies projects and the approved levels of fees for each. To the extent that items are not covered in the annual budget or fees exceed the budget, management must have them approved by the Audit Committee or, if necessary between Committee meetings, by the Audit Committee chairman on behalf of the Committee.
