Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 and are of a normal recurring nature. Results from operations for the twelve and forty week periods ended July 2, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 24, 2005.
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. ("the Company" or "Green Mountain") for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2004.
2. Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following at:

	July 2, 2005	September 25, 2004
Raw materials and supplies	$ 6,824,000	$ 5,020,000
Finished goods	5,579,000	4,560,000
	$ 12,403,000	$ 9,580,000
	=====	=====

Inventory values above are presented net of $93,000 and $166,000 of obsolescence reserves at July 2, 2005 and September 25, 2004, respectively.
At July 2, 2005, the Company had approximately $17,980,000 in green coffee purchase commitments, of which approximately 52% had a fixed price. These commitments extend through 2009. The value of the variable portion of these commitments was calculated using an average "C" price of coffee of $1.12 per pound and a price of $11 per pound for Kona Mountain Estate^TM coffee. The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers, that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.

3. Earnings Per Share
The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share computations as required by SFAS No. 128 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

	Twelve weeks ended		Forty weeks ended
	July 2, 2005	July 3, 2004		July 2, 2005	July 3, 2004
Numerator - basic and diluted earnings per share : Net income	$ 2,155	$ 1,906		$ 6,521	$ 5,820
Denominator:	=====	=====		=====	=====
Basic earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding	7,169,624	7,018,956		7,130,949	6,996,818
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options	502,222	383,189		456,661	411,627
Diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding	7,671,846	7,402,145		7,587,610	7,408,445
	=====	=====		=====	=====
Basic earnings per share	$ 0.30	$ 0.27		$ 0.91	$ 0.83
Diluted earnings per share	$ 0.28	$ 0.26		$ 0.86	$ 0.79

For the twelve weeks ended July 3, 2004 options to purchase 186,000 shares were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the market price of the common shares. All options outstanding were included in the computation of diluted income per share for the twelve weeks ended July 2, 2005.
For the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004 options to purchase 15,000 and 107,000 shares respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the market price of the common shares.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company regularly enters into coffee futures contracts to hedge price-to-be-established purchase commitments of green coffee and therefore designates these contracts as cash flow hedges. At July 2, 2005, the Company held outstanding futures contracts with a fair market value of $(46,000). These futures contracts are hedging coffee purchase commitments that take place in the next three months and the related gains and losses will be reflected in cost of sales in the next two fiscal quarters when the related finished goods inventory is sold. At September 25, 2004, the Company held futures contracts with a total fair market value of $122,000.

At July 2, 2005, deferred losses on futures contracts designated as cash flow hedges amounted to $151,000 ($90,000 net of taxes). These deferred losses are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. In the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, total (losses) gains on futures contracts included in cost of sales amounted to $(19,000) and $81,000 (gross of tax). In the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, total gains on futures contracts (gross of tax) included in cost of sales amounted to $75,000 and $66,000, respectively.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet") effective June 29, 2004, in order to fix the interest rate on its term loan. The swap had an original notional amount of $17,000,000 and a maturity date of June 29, 2009. The effect of the swap is to limit the interest rate exposure to a fixed rate of 3.94% versus the 30-day LIBOR rate. In accordance with the agreement and on a monthly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 30-day LIBOR rate and the fixed rate. If interest expense calculated is greater based on the 30-day LIBOR rate, Fleet pays the difference to the Company; if interest expense as calculated is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to Fleet.

On May 31, 2005, the swap agreement was amended to lower the notional amount by $5,000,000 in conjunction with a prepayment of the term debt being hedged. The termination of the swap was changed from June 2009 to December 2007. All other terms of the swap remained unchanged. The notional amount at July 2, 2005 was $8,450,000.

The fair market value of the interest rate swap is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counterparty. At July 2, 2005, the Company estimates it would have received $1,000 (gross of tax) if the agreement was terminated. Green Mountain designates the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the swap is classified in accumulated other comprehensive income.

For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company paid $30,000 and $193,000, respectively, in additional interest expense pursuant to the swap agreement. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, the Company paid $15,000 and $72,000, respectively, in additional interest expense pursuant to swap agreements. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the swap agreement; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

Investment in Keurig, Incorporated

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2002, the Company purchased 586,350 shares of Preferred Stock and 317,969 shares of Common Stock of Keurig, Incorporated ("Keurig") for approximately $5,921,000 from third-party investors in Keurig. During the third fiscal quarter of 2002, the Company purchased an additional 1,324,885 shares of Common Stock and 3,925 shares of Preferred Stock of Keurig from third party investors for approximately $8,681,000. Prior to January 8, 2002, the Company had an investment in the Preferred Stock of Keurig of $151,000. As of July 2, 2005 and September 25, 2004, the shares of Common Stock owned by the Company represent approximately 49.6% of Keurig's outstanding Common Stock and the total acquired shares (Preferred Stock and Common Stock) represent approximately 41.8% of Keurig's common equivalent shares. The Company adopted the equity method of accounting to report its investment in Keurig, Incorporated in its third fiscal quarter of 2002.

As a result of contractual limitations and restrictions agreed to by the Company, MD Co., which owns approximately 23% of Keurig's capital stock, effectively controls Keurig - having the ability to elect a majority of Keurig's Board of Directors, cause certain types of amendments to Keurig's Certificate of Incorporation, and approve or reject a sale of Keurig's business.

The allocation of the equity investment in Keurig includes the assignment of $2,554,000 to identifiable technology intangible assets that are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 7 to 10 years. In addition, the Company allocated $1,152,000 to certain fixed assets of Keurig to approximate the estimated fair value of such assets. As the transaction was effected through the purchase of currently outstanding stock of Keurig, the historical tax basis of Keurig continues and the fair value ascribed to identifiable intangible assets and fixed assets are recorded net of a deferred tax liability.

In conjunction with its purchase of Keurig's stock in 2002, the Company issued Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). Upon consummation of a liquidity event involving the stock of Keurig, Inc. as defined in the SARs agreement, the Company would be required to record an expense equal to the difference between the value of Keurig's stock and the price paid by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters when it acquired Keurig stock in 2002. At July 2, 2005, the Company estimated that it would have been required to record an expense equal to $42,000, had a liquidity event occurred.

In addition to its investment in Keurig, Incorporated, the Company conducts arms length business transactions with Keurig. Under a license agreement with Keurig, dated June 30, 2002 as amended, the Company pays Keurig a royalty for sales of Keurig licensed products. The Company recorded in cost of sales royalties in the amount of $2,445,000 and $7,930,000 for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, respectively. The Company recorded in cost of sales royalties in the amount of $1,725,000 and $5,629,000 for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, respectively.

Keurig also purchases coffee products from the Company. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company sold $510,000 and $1,379,000 worth of coffee products to Keurig, Incorporated, respectively. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, the Company sold $185,000 and $479,000 worth of coffee products to Keurig, Incorporated, respectively. In addition, the Company purchases brewer and production equipment from Keurig, Incorporated. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company purchased $440,000 and $1,767,000 worth of brewers and equipment from Keurig, Incorporated, respectively. For the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, the Company purchased $864,000 and $2,218,000 worth of brewers and equipment from Keurig, Incorporated, respectively. The Company has properly eliminated the effect of these related party transactions for which the earnings process has not been completed. At July 2, 2005 and September 25, 2004, the Company had payables to Keurig amounting to $947,000 and $570,000, respectively.

Keurig is on a calendar year-end. The Company has included in its income for the forty week period ended July 2, 2005 the Company's equity interest in the fourth calendar fiscal quarter of Keurig's earnings (October 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004) and the first two calendar fiscal quarters of Keurig's earnings (January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005), without giving effect to the differences between the duration of the Company's year-to-date reporting period (40 weeks) and Keurig's three calendar quarters (39 weeks). During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, the net equity impact of Keurig's earnings was ($160,000) and ($552,000), net of tax, respectively. The equity in earnings in the investment of Keurig represents the Company's portion of Keurig's earnings for the period relative to the Company's ownership of Common Stock in Keurig for that period including certain adjustments and is presented net of taxes. These adjustments include the amortization of assigned intangible assets, the acc retion of Preferred Stock dividends and redemption rights, as well as depreciation differences between the Company's equity in the fair value of certain fixed assets as compared to Keurig's historical cost basis. During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, ($66,000) and ($403,000) (net of taxes) of the net equity impact of Keurig's earnings was due to the accretion of Preferred Stock redemption rights. The carrying value of Keurig Inc.'s preferred stock is being accreted to the estimated redemption value ratably through the earliest possible redemption date of February 4, 2007. The redemption value is based on Keurig's estimate of the amount the holders of the preferred shares will receive upon redemption. The Board of Directors of Keurig reviews its estimate periodically and may change it prior to the February 4, 2007 earliest possible redemption date. The Company carries its investment in Keurig Inc. preferred stock at accreted cost, which approximates fair value. The Company has recognized its equity portion of Keurig's losses net of related tax benefits. This accounting treatment assumes that the deferred tax asset from the Keurig losses will ultimately be realizable. The valuation of the Keurig investment at July 2, 2005 and the related deferred tax asset is supported by a recent valuation analysis prepared by an independent investment-banking firm.

During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, the net equity impact of Keurig's earnings was a loss of ($193,000) and ($751,000), net of tax, respectively, with no material adjustment for accretion of Preferred Stock redemption rights. The Company has included in its income for the twelve and forty week period ended July 3, 2004 the Company's equity interest in the fourth calendar fiscal quarter of 2003 (October 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003) and the first two calendar quarters of 2004 (January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004) of Keurig's earnings, without giving effect to the differences between the duration of the Company's year to date reporting period (40 weeks) and Keurig's two calendar quarters (39 weeks).

Recent Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004)Share-Based Payments (FAS123(R)). This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (usually stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using an option pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005, which is the fiscal year beginning on September 25, 2005 for Green Mountain Coffee. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this Statement on its results from operations. See Note No. 7 for information as to the materiality of share-based compensation.

In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of FAS123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. The new guidance includes the SEC's view on the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies and may simplify some of FAS 123(R)'s implementation challenges for registrants and enhance the information that investors receive.

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs ("SFAS 151"), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and waste material. This statement requires that abnormal expenses be recognized in the current period and that fixed production overhead be allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

In March 2005, FASB issued FIN 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, which clarifies that the term 'conditional asset retirement obligation' as used in SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that FIN 47 will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations.

Compensation Plans

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, except for a grant to outside consultants and one grant to an officer at an exercise price below fair market value, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option awards and its stock purchase plan because the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option awards and the stock purchase plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards under those plans, consistent with the prov isions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and net income per share for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004 would have decreased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

			Twelve weeks ended		Forty weeks ended
		July 2, 2005		July 3, 2004		July 2, 2005	July 3, 2004

Net income:	As reported	$ 2,155		$ 1,906		$6,521	$5,820
	Pro forma	$1,963		$1,702		$5,792	$5,076
Basic net	As reported	0.30		0.27		0.91	0.83
income per share:	Pro forma	0.27		0.24		0.81	0.73
Diluted net	As reported	0.28		0.26		0.86	0.79
income per share:	Pro forma	0.26		0.23		0.76	0.69

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: an expected life averaging 6 years and 4 years; an average volatility of 42% and 72%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 4.0% and 2.7%, for the grants issued during the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively. The weighted-average fair values of options granted during the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004 are $10.96 and $11.30, respectively.
The fair value of the employees' purchase rights under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004: an expected life of six months; expected volatility of 41% and 72% respectively; and an average risk-free interest rate of 3.1%, and 0.9%, respectively. The weighted average fair value of those purchase rights granted were $9.37 and $7.59 for the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, respectively.
The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). The ESOP is qualified under sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the forty week periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, the Company recorded compensation costs of $231,000 and $154,000 to accrue for anticipated stock distributions under the ESOP, respectively. On July 2, 2005, the ESOP held 21,060 unearned shares at an average cost of $27.10.
The Company also maintains a Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not subject to the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and which allows participants to defer compensation until a future date. Only non-employee directors and certain highly compensated employees of the Company selected by the Company's Board of Directors are eligible to participate in the Plan. In the forty week periods ended July 2, 2005 and July 3, 2004, $13,000 and $8,000 of compensation expense has been recorded under this Plan, respectively.

Income Taxes

On January 22, 2004, the Vermont Economic Progress Council (VEPC) approved an application from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters for payroll and capital investment tax credits. The total incentives authorized are $2,090,500 over a five year period beginning in fiscal year 2004. The capital investment tax credits are $1,843,728 of the total authorization and are contingent upon reaching annual minimum capital investments of $4,900,000, $3,000,000, $10,900,000, $5,800,000 and $4,700,000 in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. All credits are subject to recapture and disallowance provisions due to curtailment of trade or business. A Company is deemed to have substantially curtailed its trade or business if the average number of full-time employees in any period of 120 consecutive days is less than 75% of the highest average number of full-time employees for any year in a period of six years after the initial authorization of the incentive. The tax credit is earned as actual capital expenditures are made in the State of Vermont or employees added to the payroll in the case of the payroll tax credit. The Company's estimated effective tax rate for the year has been reduced by the total credit that is expected to be earned by year-end. The Company expects that its fiscal 2005 tax rate, including benefit from the tax credit, will be approximately 39.8%.

Total depreciation expense relating to all fixed assets was $1,382,000 and $4,524,000 for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, respectively. Total depreciation expense relating to all fixed assets was $1,089,000 and $3,520,000 for the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, respectively.

At July 2, 2005, the balance of fixed assets classified as construction in progress and therefore not being depreciated in the current period amounted to $6,887,000. This balance primarily includes expenditures related to production process control systems and Keurig packaging systems. All assets in construction in progress are expected to be ready for production use in the next twelve months.

In the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, the Company capitalized $35,000 and $163,000 of interest expense, respectively. In the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, the Company capitalized $85,000 and $172,000 of interest expense, respectively.

Related party transactions

The Company uses travel services provided by Heritage Flight, a charter air services company owned by Mr. Stiller, the CEO of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 2, 2005, Heritage Flight billed the Company the amount of $47,000 and $102,000, respectively, for travel services to various employees of the Company. During the twelve and forty weeks ended July 3, 2004, Heritage Flight billed the Company the amount of $11,000 and $102,000, respectively, for various travel services.

Term debt prepayment

On May 31, 2005, the Company used some of its excess cash to pay back $5,000,000 of its term loan debt with Fleet Bank, now part of Bank of America. This prepayment shortened the maturity date of the loan from June 2009 to December 2007. All other terms of the debt remained unchanged.

Twelve weeks ended July 2, 2005 versus twelve weeks ended July 3, 2004
Net sales increased by $6,435,000, or 20.5%, to $37,782,000 for the twelve weeks ended July 2, 2005 (the "2005 period"), as compared to the twelve weeks ended July 3, 2004 (the "2004 period"). Coffee pounds shipped increased by approximately 459,000 pounds, or 11.3% to approximately 4,534,000 pounds in the 2005 period. The difference between the dollar sales and pounds shipped growth rates is due to price increases in 2005, significantly higher sales of Keurig K-Cups^® which carry a higher sales price per pound, and sales of Celestial Seasonings^® Teas in K-Cups, which are not included in the coffee pounds shipped data. The pounds increase was strongest in the Office Coffee Service ("OCS") channel, which increased 187,000 pounds, or 19.6%, primarily due to strong K-Cup sales to our key customers driven by increased penetration of the KeurigÒ B100 brewers in small offices and by the introduction of "Extra Bold" K-cups. In the Food Service channel, coffee pounds shipped increased 140,000 pounds, or 24.0%, as a result of the new customer acquisitions, including Brueggers Bakery, a chain of 242 casual restaurants throughout the United States. Sales in the Convenience Store channel were also strong with a quarter over quarter growth of 96,000 pounds, or 8.3%, over the 2004 period led by sales to McLane Company, Inc., the distributor for Exxon Mobil. The Consumer Direct channel grew 69,000 pounds, or 59.0%, with the majority of growth related to the sales of the KeurigÒ Single Cup brewers for the home and associated K-CupsÒ as well as K-Cup sales to Keurig, Inc. for their Keurig Single-Cup B50 sales to the new retail channel. The Supermarket Channel decreased in pounds shipped by (33,000) pounds, or (2.6%), over the 2004 period due to increased promotional levels by supermarket coffee competitors during the 2005 period combined with the impact of the Company's price increases in January and March 2005. The Company recently increased its prices for certain products because of rising coffee costs. The net impact was a 6.0% increase in net sales in the 2005 period over the prior year period.
Gross profit increased by $1,024,000, or 8.1%, to $13,691,000 for the 2005 period. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 4.2 percentage points to 36.2% for the 2005 period. This decrease is attributable to higher green coffee costs, variation in sales mix, increased depreciation and distribution costs associated with the new distribution center and increased costs associated with additional K-Cup manufacturing capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $542,000, or 5.8%, to $9,836,000 for the 2005 period. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3.6 percentage points to 26.0% of net sales. This improvement was the result of leveraging selling and organizational resources on a higher sales base.
As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $482,000, or 14.3%, to $3,855,000 for the 2005 period.
Interest expense increased by $34,000 to $79,000 for the 2005 period. This increase is due mainly to higher debt balances due to the Company's amendment to its credit facilities which took place in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In the 2005 period and the 2004 period, the Company capitalized $35,000 and $85,000, respectively, of interest expense associated with investments in production equipment classified as construction in progress. This decrease was due mainly to a lower construction-in-progress balance in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the distribution center construction project being completed.
Income tax expense increased $260,000, or 20.9%, to $1,506,000 for the 2005 period. The effective tax rate for the 2005 period was 39.4%, up from 37.2% in the 2004 period due to lower estimated capital expenditures in fiscal 2005 and the associated decrease in the favorable impact of state tax incentives awarded during the second quarter of fiscal 2004 under the Vermont Economic Advancement Tax Incentive Program.
The Company adopted the equity method of accounting for its investment in Keurig, Incorporated ("Keurig") in the third fiscal quarter of 2002 as the Company's Common Stock ownership percentage grew from under 10% to 49.93% in the course of that period. Green Mountain's percentage ownership of the total common stock equivalent shares of Keurig was 41.8% at July 2, 2005 and September 25, 2004. Keurig is effectively controlled by MD Co. (controlled by MDT Advisors, a division of Harris Bretall Sullivan and Smith, an institutional investment company), which owns approximately 23% of Keurig's capital stock, as a result of limitations and restrictions contained in the contracts governing Green Mountain's investment in Keurig. Keurig can have significant quarterly operating income/loss fluctuations and its results can differ materially from expectations set forth in forward-looking statements. Further, there is a high degree of uncertainty with respect to Keurig's spending for the launch of the new Keurig^{&r eg;} B-40 and B-60 Single-Cup Brewers for the home and results could materially vary depending on Keurig's success in continuing to penetrate the home brewer market and its ability to secure adequate financing to support this launch.
The equity in the net earnings of Keurig in the 2005 period was a loss of $160,000 or ($0.02) per diluted share. Included in the loss is a charge of $66,000 or $0.01 per diluted share related to the accounting for the accretion of the estimated redemption value of Keurig, Inc.'s preferred stock. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require that, under the equity method of accounting, the investor (GMCR) should compute its share of earnings (or losses) of the investee (Keurig, Inc.) after reduction of accretion of the estimated redemption value of redeemable preferred stock issued by the investee. The carrying value of Keurig, Inc.'s Preferred Stock is being accreted to the redemption value ratably through the earliest optional redemption date of February 4, 2007. This redemption value is based on Keurig's estimate of the amount the holders of the preferred shares will receive upon redemption, as approved by Keurig's Board of Directors. The most recent valuation was performed by Keurig, Inc. as of December 31, 2004. As the time remaining until the redemption date decreases, any significant change in Keurig's estimate of the redemption value of its preferred stock will have a greater impact. The Company has recognized its equity portion of Keurig's losses net of related tax benefits. This accounting treatment assumes that the deferred tax asset from the Keurig losses will ultimately be realizable. The valuation of the Keurig investment at July 2, 2005 and the related deferred tax asset is supported by a recent valuation analysis prepared by an independent investment-banking firm. In the 2004 period, the equity in Keurig's net earnings was a loss of $193,000 or ($0.03) per share, with no material adjustment for accretion.
Net income increased by $249,000, or 13.1%, to $2,155,000 in the 2005 period. Earnings per diluted share were $0.28 in the 2005 period as compared to $0.26 in the 2004 period.
Forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 versus forty weeks ended July 3, 2004
Net sales increased by $19,442,000, or 18.4%, to $125,132,000 for the forty weeks ended July 2, 2005 (the "2005 YTD period"), as compared to the forty weeks ended July 3, 2004 (the "2004 YTD period"). Coffee pounds shipped increased by approximately 1,757,000 pounds, or 12.9% to approximately 15,328,000 pounds in the 2005 YTD period. The difference between the dollar sales and pounds shipped growth rates is due to price increases in 2005, significantly higher sales of Keurig K-Cups^® which carry a higher sales price per pound, and sales of Celestial Seasonings^® Teas in K-Cups, which are not included in the coffee pounds shipped data. The pounds increase was strongest in the Office Coffee Service ("OCS") channel, which increased 643,000 pounds, or 20.4%, primarily due to strong K-Cup sales with our key customers, strong K-Cup sales driven by increased penetration of the KeurigÒ Single Cup brewer in offices and by continued success of teas in K-Cups. Sales in the Food Service channel were also very strong with a quarter-over-quarter growth of 432,000 pounds, or 22.1 %, as a result of the new customer acquisitions including, Brueggers Bakery, a chain of 242 casual restaurants throughout the United States. The Convenience Store channel increased pounds shipped by 354,000 pounds, or 9.5%, over the 2004 period led by sales to McLane Company, Inc. ("McLane"), the distributor for ExxonMobil. The Supermarket channel increased their pounds shipped by 174,000 pounds, or 4.1%, over the 2004 YTD period due primarily to increased sales to Stop & Shop (C&S), Wild Oats Markets, Winn Dixie, Wegman's and Demoulas. The Consumer Direct channel grew 154,000 pounds, or 36.5%, with the majority of growth related to the sales of the KeurigÒ Single Cup brewers for the home and associated K-CupsÒ as well as new Café Express members and overall improvements in website and catalog performance.
Gross profit increased by $2,567,000, or 6.1%, to $44,457,000 for the 2005 YTD period. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased 4.1 percentage points to 35.5% for the 2005 YTD period. This decrease is attributable to higher green coffee costs, variation in sales mix, increased depreciation and distribution costs associated with the new distribution center and increased costs associated with additional K-Cup manufacturing capacity.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,460,000, or 4.7%, to $32,337,000 for the 2005 YTD period. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3.4 percentage points to 25.8% of net sales. This improvement was the result of leveraging selling and organizational resources on a higher sales base and lower bad debt expense as compared to the 2004 YTD period.
As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased by $1,107,000, or 10.1%, to $12,120,000 for the 2005 YTD period.
Interest expense increased by $267,000 to $457,000 for the 2005 YTD period. This increase is due mainly to higher debt balances due to the Company's amendment to its credit facilities which took place in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. In the 2005 YTD period and the 2004 YTD period, the Company capitalized $163,000 and $172,000, respectively, of interest expense associated with investments in production equipment classified as construction in progress. This increase was due mainly to a higher construction-in-progress balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 due to the distribution center construction project.
Income tax expense increased $396,000, or 9.2%, to $4,685,000 for the 2005 YTD period. The effective tax rate for the 2005 YTD period was 39.8%, up from 39.5% in the 2004 YTD period.
The equity in the net earnings of Keurig in the 2005 YTD period was a loss of $552,000 or $0.07 per diluted share. Included in the loss is a charge of $403,000 or $0.05 per diluted share relates to the accounting for the accretion of the estimated redemption value of Keurig, Inc.'s preferred stock. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require that, under the equity method of accounting, the investor (GMCR) should compute its share of earnings (or losses) of the investee (Keurig, Inc.) after reduction of accretion of the estimated redemption value of redeemable preferred stock issued by the investee. The carrying value of Keurig, Inc.'s Preferred Stock is being accreted to the redemption value ratably through the earliest optional redemption date of February 4, 2007. This redemption value is based on Keurig's estimate of the amount the holders of the preferred shares will receive upon redemption, as approved by Keurig's Board of Directors. The most recent valuation was performed by Keurig as of December 31, 2004. As the time remaining until the redemption date decreases, any significant change in Keurig's estimate of the redemption value of its preferred stock will have a greater impact. The Company recognizes its equity portion of Keurig's losses net of related tax benefits. This accounting treatment assumes that the deferred tax asset from the Keurig losses will ultimately be realizable. The valuation of the Keurig investment at July 2, 2005 and the related deferred tax asset is supported by a recent valuation analysis prepared by an independent investment-banking firm. In the 2004 YTD period, the equity in Keurig's net earnings was a loss of $751,000.
Net income increased by $701,000, or 12.0%, to $6,521,000 in the 2005 YTD period. Earnings per diluted share were $0.86 in the 2005 YTD period as compared to $0.79 in the 2004 YTD period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital increased $3,153,000 to $14,876,000 at July 2, 2005 from $11,723,000 at September 25, 2004. This increase is primarily due to increased inventories, higher receivables and an increased cash balance, partially offset by increased accounts payable.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1,687,000, or 15.8%, to $12,343,000 in the 2005 YTD period. Cash flows from operations were used to fund capital expenditures and repay long-term debt in the 2005 YTD period.
During the 2005 YTD period, Green Mountain had capital expenditures of $6,806,000, including $4,251,000 for building, equipment and fixtures, $1,707,000 for loaner equipment, $732,000 for computer equipment and software, and $116,000 for vehicles.
During the 2004 YTD period, Green Mountain had capital expenditures of $15,440,000, including $8,343,000 for production and distribution equipment, $4,574,000 for leasehold improvements and fixtures, $1,333,000 for loaner equipment, $1,034,000 for computer equipment and software, and $156,000 for vehicles.
At July 2, 2005, the balance of fixed assets classified as construction in progress and therefore not being depreciated in the current period amounted to $6,887,000. This balance primarily includes expenditures related to production process control systems and Keurig packaging systems. All assets in construction in progress are expected to be ready for production use in the next twelve months.
On June 30, 2004 the Company modified its existing credit facility with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet"). The second participating lender in this modified facility is Citizens Bank New Hampshire ("Citizens"). The modified facility provides for a $17 million term loan which expires in July 2009, a $10 million revolving line of credit which expires in March 2006, and a $5 million equipment line of credit with a term out of 5 years per amount drawn. The modified credit facility was used to finance the Company's new distribution center and related equipment, as well as for ongoing working capital purposes. On May 31, 2005, the Company used a portion of its operating cash flows to pay back $5 million of its term loan.
At July 2, 2005, the outstanding balance on the term loan was $8,450,000. No amounts were outstanding under the equipment line of credit or the revolving line of credit.
The credit agreement contains minimum quarterly profitability, maximum funded debt to EBITDA, and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenants. As of July 2, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this agreement.
The interest paid on the credit facility varies with prime, LIBOR and Banker's Acceptance rates, plus a margin based on a performance price structure. Effective June 29, 2004, the Company also entered into a $17,000,000 amortizing interest rate swap agreement, in order to fix the interest rate on its term loan. The effect of the swap is to limit the interest rate exposure to a fixed rate of 3.94% versus the 30-day LIBOR rate. The swap agreement was amended on May 31, 2005 to reduce its notional amount by $5,000,000 in conjunction with the term loan pre-payment. The notional amount of the swap at July 2, 2005 was $8,450,000.
Management believes that cash flow from operating activities, existing cash and amounts available under the modified credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund capital expenditures and working capital, and make required payments on the Company's debt through the next twelve months. However, any future acquisitions, partnerships or other similar transactions may require additional capital and there can be no assurance that this capital will be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all.
A summary of the Company's cash requirements related to its outstanding long-term debt, future minimum lease payments and green coffee purchase commitments is as follows:

Fiscal Year	Long-Term Debt	Lease Commitments	Purchase Commitments	Total
2005, remaining	$38,000	$479,000	$10,581,000	$11,098,000
2006	3,530,000	1,488,000	8,179,000	13,197,000
2007	3,497,000	1,104,000	112,000	4,713,000
2008	1,693,000	921,000	111,000	2,725,000
2009	17,000	809,000	111,000	937,000
Thereafter	1,000	4,107,000	-	4,108,000
Total	$ 8,776,000	$8,908,000	$19,094,000	$36,778,000

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period (see Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 25, 2004). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requested that all registrants list their critical accounting policies in Item 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of their Form 10-K. The SEC defined a critical accounting policy as one that is important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations and requires management's subjective or complex judgments. In accordance with this request, Green Mountain Coffee has described its critical accounting policies below.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts:
Periodically, management reviews the adequacy of its provision for doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt expense results and current economic conditions using factors based on the aging of its accounts receivable. In addition, from time-to-time Green Mountain Coffee estimates specific additional allowances based on indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties. Actual bad debt results could differ materially from these estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:
When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets, including fixed assets, investments in other companies and intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to projected future cash flows in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses. Upon indication that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss as a charge against current operations. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Judgments Green Mountain Coffee makes related to the expected useful lives of long-lived assets and its ability to realize undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets are affected by factors such as the ongoing maintenance and improvements of the assets, changes in economic conditions, and changes in operating performance. As the Company ass esses the ongoing expected cash flows and carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, these factors could cause Green Mountain Coffee to realize a material impairment charge.
Hedge Accounting:
The Company uses coffee futures to hedge price increases in price-to-be-fixed coffee purchase commitments and anticipated coffee purchases. These derivative instruments qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Hedge accounting is permitted if the hedging relationship is expected to be highly effective. Effectiveness is determined by how closely the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument offset the changes in the fair value of the hedged item. If the derivative is determined to qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings when the related hedged item is sold. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded directly to earnings. If these derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting, the Company would have to record the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments directly to earnings. In addition to futures contracts, the Company occasionally purchases coffee options. Such options are not designated as hedges and are adjusted to fair market value each reporting period, with the corresponding gain or loss reflected in income. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and Note 4 in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," included elsewhere in this report.
Income Tax:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories consist primarily of green and roasted coffee, packaging materials and purchased finished goods.
Revenue recognition:
Revenue from wholesale and consumer direct sales is recognized upon product delivery.
Stock based compensation:
The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Accordingly, except for two grants to outside consultants in fiscal 2003 and a grant issued to an officer below market price in fiscal 2004, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option awards and its stock purchase plan because the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provision of Statement of Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").

Recent pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payments (FAS123(R)). This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (usually stock options) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using an option pricing model adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 20 05, which is the fiscal year beginning on September 25, 2005 for Green Mountain Coffee. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this Statement on its results from operations. See Note No. 7 for information as to the materiality of share-based compensation.
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of FAS123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. The new guidance includes the SEC's view on the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies and may simplify some of the FAS 123(R)'s implementation challenges for registrants and enhance the information that investors receive.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs ("SFAS 151"), an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and waste material. This statement requires that abnormal expenses be recognized in the current period and that fixed production overhead be allocated to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 151 will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
In March 2005, FASB issued FIN 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, which clarifies that the term 'conditional asset retirement obligation' as used in SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe that FIN 47 will have a material impact on its financial position or results from operations
Risks related to the Company's business
Because the Company's business is focused almost entirely on the sale of specialty coffee, if the demand for specialty coffee decreased, the Company's business could suffer.
Sales of specialty coffee constitutes nearly 100% of the Company's net revenues.
Demand for specialty coffee is affected by many factors, including:
- Consumer tastes and preferences;
- International, national, regional and local economic conditions; and
- Demographic trends
Because the Company is highly dependent on consumer demand for specialty coffee, a shift in consumer preferences away from specialty coffee would harm the Company's business more than if the Company had more diversified product offerings. If customer demand for specialty coffee decreases, the Company's sales would decrease accordingly.
Because the Company relies heavily on common carriers to deliver its coffee any disruption in their services or increase in shipping costs could adversely affect the Company's business.
The Company relies on a number of common carriers to deliver coffee to the Company's customers and distribution centers. The Company has no control over these common carriers and the services provided by them may be interrupted as a result of labor shortages, contract disputes or other factors. If the Company experiences an interruption in these services, it may be unable to ship its coffee in a timely manner. A delay in shipping could:
- Have an adverse impact on the quality of the coffee shipped, and thereby adversely affect the Company's brand and reputation;
- Result in the disposal of an amount of coffee that could not be shipped in a timely manner; and
- Require the Company to contract with alternative, and possibly more expensive, common carriers.
Any significant increase in shipping costs could lower the Company's profit margins or force the Company to raise prices, which could cause the Company's revenue and profits to suffer.
The Company depends on the expertise of key personnel. If these individuals leave or change their role within the Company without effective replacements, the Company's operations may suffer.
The success of the Company's business is dependent to a large degree on its management and its coffee roasters and purchasers. If members of the Company's management leave without effective replacements, the Company's ability to implement its business strategy could be impaired. If the Company lost the services of its coffee roasters and purchasers, its ability to source and purchase a sufficient supply of specialty coffee beans and roast coffee beans consistent with the Company's quality standards could suffer. In either case, the Company's business and operations could be adversely affected.
Because the Company has only one roasting facility, a significant interruption in the operation of this facility could potentially disrupt its operations.
The Company has only one coffee roasting facility. A significant interruption in the operation of this facility, whether as a result of a natural disaster or other causes, could significantly impair its ability to operate its business on a day-to-day basis. In addition, because the Company's coffee roasting facility is located in Vermont, its ability to ship coffee and receive shipments or raw materials may be adversely effected during winter months as a result of severe winter conditions and storms.
Increases in the cost of high quality arabica coffee beans could reduce the Company's gross margin and profit.
Green coffee commodity prices are subject to substantial price fluctuations, generally caused by multiple factors including weather, political and economic conditions in certain coffee-producing countries and other supply-related concerns. In recent years, green coffee prices have been under considerable downward pressures due to oversupply, but have increased significantly in fiscal 2005. Management believes that the "C" price of coffee (the price per pound quoted by the Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa Exchange) will remain highly volatile in future fiscal years. In addition to the "C" price, coffee of the quality sought by Green Mountain Coffee tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial premium or "differential" above the "C" price. These differentials also are subject to significant variations. In recent years, while the "C" price has been at or near historic lows, differentials have generally been on the rise.
In the past, the Company generally has been able to pass increases in green coffee costs to its customers. The Company increased prices for certain products twice in fiscal 2005 due to rising coffee costs. There can be no assurance that it will be successful in passing such fluctuations on to the customers without losses in sales volume or gross margin in the future. Additionally, if higher green coffee costs can be offset on a dollar for dollar basis by price increases, this trend still lowers the Company's gross margin on a percentage of sales basis.
Similarly, rapid sharp decreases in the cost of green coffee could also force Green Mountain Coffee to lower sales prices before realizing cost reductions in its green coffee inventory. Furthermore, a worldwide supply shortage of the high-quality arabica coffees the Company purchases could have an adverse impact on Green Mountain Coffee and its profitability.
Decreased availability of high quality arabica coffee beans could result in a decrease in revenue and jeopardize the Company's ability to maintain or expand its business.
Arabica coffee beans of the quality the Company purchases are not readily available on the commodity markets. The Company depends on its relationships with coffee brokers, exporters and growers for the supply of its primary raw material, high quality arabica coffee beans.
Because an increasing amount of the Company's supply of Arabica coffee beans comes from specialty farms, the Company is more dependent upon a limited amount of suppliers, which increases the risk of inventory shortage.
Green Mountain Coffee purchases an increasing amount of green coffee from specifically identified farms, estates, cooperatives and cooperative groups. In fiscal 2004, 49% of green coffee purchases were "farm-identified," up from 42% in fiscal 2003. The timing of these purchases is dictated by when the coffee becomes available (after the annual crop), which does not always coincide with the period the Company needs this green coffee to fulfill customer demand. This can lead to higher and more variable inventory levels.
If the Company's relationships with coffee brokers, exporters and growers deteriorate, the Company may be unable to procure a sufficient quantity of high quality coffee beans. In such case, the Company may not be able to fulfill the demand of its existing customers, supply new customers or expand other channels of distribution. A raw material shortage could result in decreased revenue or could impair the Company's ability to maintain or expand the Company's business.
Political instability in coffee growing regions could result in a decrease in the availability of high quality arabica coffee beans needed for the continued operation and growth of the Company's business and an increase in its operating costs.
The Company roasts arabica coffee beans from many different regions to produce over 100 types and blends of coffee. The political situation in many of those regions, including Africa, Indonesia, and Central and South America, can be unstable, and such instability could affect the Company's ability to purchase coffee from those regions. If arabica coffee beans from a region become unavailable or prohibitively expensive, the Company may be forced to discontinue particular coffee types and blends or substitute coffee beans from other regions in its blends. Frequent substitutions and changes in the Company's coffee product lines may lead to cost increases, customer alienation and fluctuations in its gross margins. Furthermore, a worldwide supply shortage of the high quality arabica coffee beans the Company purchases could have a material adverse effect on its business.
The Company's roasting methods are not proprietary, so competitors may be able to duplicate them, which could harm the Company's competitive position.
The Company considers its roasting methods essential to the flavor and richness of its coffee and, therefore, essential to its brand. Because the Company's roasting methods cannot be patented, the Company would be unable to prevent competitors from copying its roasting methods if such methods became known. If the Company's competitors copy its roasting methods, the value of the Company's brand may be diminished, and the Company may lose customers to its competitors. In addition, competitors may be able to develop roasting methods that are more advanced than the Company's roasting methods, which may also harm its competitive position.
Competition in the specialty coffee market is intense and could affect the Company's profitability.
The specialty coffee market is highly fragmented. Competition in the specialty coffee market is becoming increasingly intense as relatively low barriers to entry encourage new competitors to enter the specialty coffee market. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and operating resources. The Company's primary competitors in specialty coffee sales include Gevalia Kaffe (Kraft Foods), Dunkin' Donuts (a subsidiary of Allied Domecq), Peet's Coffee & Tea, Millstone (Procter & Gamble), New England Coffee Company and Starbucks. There are numerous smaller, regional brands that also compete in this category. In addition, the Company competes indirectly against all other coffee brands on the market. A number of nationwide coffee marketers, such as Kraft Foods, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee and Nestle, are distributing premium coffee brands in supermarkets. These premium coffee brands may serve as substitutes for the Company's coffee. If the Company does not succeed in effectively differentiating itself from its competitors or its competitors adopt the Company's strategies, then its competitive position may be weakened.
Because a substantial portion of the Company's revenue is related to sales to certain major customers, the loss of one or more of these customers could materially harm the Company's business.
The Company receives a significant portion of its revenues in each fiscal period from a relatively limited number of customers, and that trend is likely to continue. Coffee pounds shipped to the Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 37% of its total coffee pounds shipped in fiscal 2004. The loss of one or more of these major customers or a decrease in orders from one of these customers could materially affect its revenue, business and reputation. In addition, a significant percentage of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 2004 and to date in fiscal 2005 came from sales of K-Cups^®. If the Company was no longer permitted to manufacture K-Cups^® or if competitive, business or economic factors had a material negative impact on sales of the Keurig brewing system, the Company's business would be adversely affected.
The Company's substantial equity investment in Keurig, Incorporated, a small, privately-held company, could have a material ongoing negative effect on the Company's net income.
The Company has a substantial equity investment in Keurig, Incorporated, a small private company. Keurig can have significant quarterly operating income/loss fluctuations and its results can differ materially from expectations set forth in forward-looking statements. Keurig is currently operating at a loss on a year-to-date basis and its negative earnings have a direct effect on the Company's net income because the Company's investment in Keurig is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company recognizes its equity portion of Keurig's losses net of related tax benefits. This accounting treatment assumes that the deferred tax asset from the Keurig losses will ultimately be realizable. The valuation of the Keurig investment at September 25, 2004 and the related deferred tax asset is supported by a recent valuation analysis prepared by an independent investment-banking firm. Further, there is a high degree of uncertainty with respect to Keurig's spending for the launch of the new Keu rig^® B-40 and B-60 Single-Cup Brewers for the home and results could materially vary depending on Keurig's success in continuing to penetrate the home brewer market and its ability to secure adequate financing to support this launch. Due to contractual agreements between the Company and the other stockholders of Keurig, Incorporated, the Company has very little control over the management, operation or strategic direction of Keurig, Incorporated.
The Company relies on a single third party supplier for its integrated software management system that is integral to the success and operation of the Company.
The Company relies on PeopleSoft (recently acquired by Oracle Incorporated) and its employees and subcontractors in connection with its software management system that is essential to the Company's operations, including without limitation accounting, inventory, and sales. If PeopleSoft (now part of Oracle) was to experience financial, operational, or quality assurance difficulties, or if there were any other disruption in the Company's relationship with PeopleSoft, the Company may decide to purchase and/or implement a new software management system, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
With the continued significant increase in the sales of K-CupsÒ for the KeurigÒ Single Cup Brewers, the Company may not be able to increase K-cup manufacturing capacity in time to keep up with sales volume.
The demand for K-Cups is expected to continue to increase rapidly driven by the growth in sales of Keurig brewers to offices and homes and by continued success of teas in K-Cups. The Company has reached maximum K-Cup manufacturing capacity at its Waterbury facility and is currently adding additional K-cup manufacturing capacity. Although the Company is in the process of adding additional K-cup manufacturing capacity that would be adequate to meet the anticipated demand, there is a risk that K-cup manufacturing capacity will not be brought fully online to meet short-term sales demand.
Because a substantial portion of the Company's business is based in New England, a worsening of the regional New England economy, a decrease in consumer spending or a change in the competitive conditions in this market may substantially decrease the Company's revenue and may adversely impact the Company's ability to implement its business strategy.
Coffee pounds shipped to customers in New England accounted for 43% of the Company's total pounds shipped in 2004. The Company expects that its New England operations will continue to generate a substantial portion of its revenue. An economic downturn or other decrease in consumer spending in New England may not only lead to a substantial decrease in revenue, but may also adversely impact the Company's ability to market its brand, build customer loyalty, or otherwise implement its business strategy and further diversify the geographical concentration of its operations.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
The Company is in the process of implementing the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires management to assess the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and include an assertion in the Company's annual report as to the effectiveness of its controls. Subsequently, the Company's Registered Public Accounting Firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, will be required to attest to whether the Company's assessment of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and separately report on whether it believes the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal controls over financial reporting as of September 24, 2005.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The table below provides information about Green Mountain's debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Expected maturity date	2005, remaining	2006	2007	2008	Thereafter	Total
Long-term debt:
Variable rate (in thousands)	-	-	-	-	-	-
Average interest rate	-	-	-	-	-	-
Fixed rate (in thousands)	$38	$3,530	$3,497	$1,693	$18	$8,776
Average interest rate	0.88%	5.05%	5.09%	5.14%	4.31%	5.06%

At July 2, 2005, the Company had no debt subject to variable interest rates.
Interest rate derivatives
The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Fleet National Bank ("Fleet") to effectively convert the variable interest rate exposure to a fixed rate of 3.94% versus the 30-day LIBOR rate. On a monthly basis, payments under the swap agreement are calculated based on the floating 30-day LIBOR rate and the fixed rate. If the fixed rate is less than the 30-day LIBOR rate, Fleet pays the difference to the Company; if the fixed rate is greater than the 30-day LIBOR rate, the Company pays the difference to Fleet.
On May 31, 2005, the swap agreement was amended to lower the notional amount by $5,000,000 in conjunction with a prepayment of the term debt being hedged. In addition, the termination date of the swap was changed from June 2009 to December 2007. All other terms of the swap remained unchanged.
The fair market value of the interest rate swap is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counterparty. At July 2, 2005, the Company estimated it would have received $1,000 (gross of tax) if the agreement were to be terminated. The Company designates the swap agreement as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of the swap is classified in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Coffee Derivatives
The Company regularly enters into coffee futures contracts to hedge price-to-be-established purchase commitments of green coffee and therefore designates these contracts as cash flow hedges. At July 2, 2005, the Company held outstanding futures contracts with a fair market value of ($46,000). The average settlement price used to calculate the fair value of the contracts outstanding was $1.15. If the settlement price drops on average by 10%, the loss incurred will be approximately $56,000. However, this loss, if realized, would be offset by lower costs of coffee purchased.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this report has been properly recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
