Notes to Unaudited 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. Results from operations for the thirteen week period ended December 25, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 24, 2011.

The September 25, 2010 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010. Throughout this presentation, we refer to the consolidated company as the “Company” and, unless otherwise noted, the information provided is on a consolidated basis.

The Company has revised the classification of certain information presented in its fiscal 2010 audited consolidated financial statements to conform to its fiscal 2011 presentation.

2010 Restatement

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 25, 2010, we have restated our financial statements and other information. For details on the effects of the restatements on certain line items within our previously reported Statement of Operations for the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009, please refer to the following sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K:Overview of Restatement; Part II, Item 8,Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 3,Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements and Note 24,Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data.

2. Segment Reporting

The Company manages its operations through three operating segments, Specialty Coffee business unit (“SCBU”), Keurig business unit (“Keurig”) and Canadian business unit (“CBU”) created primarily from the former Van Houtte business recently acquired as a result of the Company’s recent acquisition of LJVH Holdings, Inc. (“LJVH” and together with its subsidiaries, “Van Houtte”).

SCBU sources, produces and sells coffee, cocoa, teas and other beverages in K-Cup^® portion packs and coffee in more traditional packaging including whole bean and ground coffee selections in bags and ground coffee in fractional packs. These varieties are sold primarily to wholesale channels, including supermarkets and convenience stores, restaurants and hospitality, office coffee distributors and directly to consumers in North America. In addition, SCBU sells Keurig^® single-cup brewing systems and other accessories directly to consumers and supermarkets.

-8-

Keurig, a pioneer and leading manufacturer of gourmet single-cup brewing systems, targets its premium patented single-cup brewing systems for use both at-home (“AH”) and away-from-home (“AFH”), mainly in North America. Keurig sells AH single-cup brewers, accessories and coffee, tea, cocoa and other beverages in K-Cup^® portion packs produced mainly by SCBU and CBU to retailers by principally processing its sales orders through fulfillment entities for the AH channels. Keurig sells AFH single-cup brewers to distributors for use in offices. Keurig also sells AH brewers, a limited number of AFH brewers and K-Cup portion packs directly to consumers. Keurig earns royalty income from K-Cup portion packs when shipped by its licensed roasters, except for shipments of K-Cup portion packs by third party roasters to Keurig, for which the royalty is recognized as a reduction to the carrying cost of the inventory and as a reduction to cost of sales when sold through to third parties by Keurig.

CBU sources, produces and sells coffees in a variety of packaging formats, including K-Cup portion packs, whose brands include Van Houtte^®, Brûlerie St. Denis^®, Brûlerie Mont-Royal^® and Orient Express^® and its licensed Bigelow^® and Wolfgang Puck^® brands. These varieties are sold primarily to wholesale channels, including supermarkets and retail, and through office coffee services to offices, convenience stores and restaurants mainly throughout Canada. CBU also manufactures brewing equipment and is responsible for all Company coffee brand sales in the grocery channel in Canada.

The Company evaluates performance based on several factors, including business segment income before taxes. The operating segments do not share any significant manufacturing or distribution facilities, except for brewer fulfillment at the Company’s Knoxville facility. Administrative functions such as accounting and information services are decentralized but moving toward centralization through an enterprise shared services group. In the event any materials and/or services are provided to one segment by the other, the transaction is valued at estimated market price and eliminated in consolidation. The costs of the Company’s manufacturing operations are captured within the SCBU and CBU segments while the Keurig segment does not have manufacturing facilities and purchases its saleable products from third parties, including the SCBU and CBU. The Company’s inventory and accounts receivable are captured and reported discretely within each operating segment.

Expenses related to certain centralized administrative functions including Finance, Human Resources, IST and Legal are allocated to the SCBU and Keurig operating segments. Expenses not specifically related to either operating segment are shown separately as “Corporate.” Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of the compensation and other related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other selected employees who perform duties related to our entire enterprise. Corporate expenses also include interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses, certain corporate legal and acquisition-related expenses and compensation of the board of directors. Corporate assets include cash, short-term investments and deferred tax assets.

Goodwill and intangibles related to the Frontier, Tully’s, Timothy’s and Diedrich acquisitions are included in the SCBU segment. Keurig related goodwill and intangibles are included in the Keurig segment. Van Houtte related goodwill and intangibles are included in the CBU segment.

The Company analyzes its business on a segment basis, records net sales on a segment basis and eliminates intersegment sales as part of its financial consolidation. Intersegment sales primarily consist of the SCBU and CBU selling K-Cup portion packs to Keurig, and Keurig sells brewers and records royalty income from K-Cup portion packs when shipped by the SCBU and CBU.

3. Acquisitions

LJVH Holdings, Inc. (including subsidiaries - Van Houtte)

On December 17, 2010, the Company acquired Van Houtte through the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of LJVH Holdings, Inc., a specialty coffee roaster headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, for approximately USD $907.9 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and a new $1.45 billion credit facility (see Note 9,Long-Term Debt). The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment based upon a balance sheet audit prepared as of December 17, 2010 and to be completed on or before February 14, 2011. Van Houtte’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.

Van Houtte specializes in sourcing, producing, and selling coffees in a variety of packaging formats, including K-Cup^® portion packs whose brands include Van Houtte^®, Brûlerie St. Denis^®, Brûlerie Mont-Royal^® and Orient Express^® and its licensed Bigelow^® and Wolfgang Puck^® brands.

As previously announced, the Company is conducting a strategic review of the Van Houtte U.S. Coffee Service business (“Filterfresh”) in contemplation of a potential divestiture of Filterfresh. As a result, the Company has accounted for all the assets relating to the Filterfresh business as held-for-sale. See Note 7,Assets Held for Sale, for further information.

-11-

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The total preliminary purchase price was USD $907.9 million, net of cash acquired. The total estimated purchase price was allocated to Van Houtte’s net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of December 17, 2010. The preliminary fair value assigned to indefinable intangible assets acquired was determined primarily by using an income approach. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based upon management’s preliminary valuation and the Company’s estimates and assumptions and is subject to change within the measurement period as the valuation is finalized. Prior to the end of the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, any changes will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively. The table below represents the allocation of the preliminary purchase price to the acquired net assets of Van Houtte (in thousands):

Amortizable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful live, and the preliminary weighted-average amortization period is 10.7 years.

The preliminary estimate of the cost of the acquisition in excess of the fair market value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed represents acquired goodwill of approximately $418.6 million. The acquisition provides the Company with an expanded Canadian presence and manufacturing and distribution synergies, which provide the basis of goodwill recognized. Goodwill and intangible assets are reported in the CBU segment. The goodwill and intangible assets recognized are not deductible for tax purposes.

At December 25, 2010, approximately $29.3 million of the purchase price is held in escrow and is included in restricted cash with corresponding amounts of $20.2 million and $9.1 million in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively.

The acquisition was completed on December 17, 2010 and accordingly results of operations from such date have been included in the Company’s Statement of Operations. For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, the Van Houtte acquisition resulted in an additional $9.6 million of consolidated revenue and $1.6 million of consolidated loss before income taxes.

Long-term portion	$	1,076,541	$	335,504

On December 17, 2010, in conjunction with the Van Houtte acquisition, the Company entered into a new $1.45 billion senior secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders consisting of (i) a $450.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility, (ii) a $200.0 million alternative currency revolving credit facility, (iii) a $250.0 million term loan A facility, and (iv) a $550.0 million term loan B facility.

The term loans A and B require quarterly principal repayments and have maturities of December 2015 and December 2016, respectively. The revolving credit facilities mature in December 2015. The term loans and revolving credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at the Company’s option, either (a) a eurodollar rate determined by reference to the cost of funds for deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain costs, or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time and (3) the eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. The applicable margin with respect to the term loan A and revolving credit facilities is a percentage per annum varying from 1.0% to 2.5% for base rate loans and 2.0% to 3.5% for eurodollar rate loans, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The applicable margin with respect to the term loan B is a percentage per annum equal to 3.0% for base rate loans and 4.0% for eurodollar rate loans. With respect to the term loan B, the eurodollar rate is deemed not to be less than 1.50% per annum. The average effective interest rate at December 25, 2010 and September 25, 2010 was 5.2% and 2.7%, respectively, excluding amortization of deferred financing charges. The Company also pays a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facilities. The term loan B is net of a 1% original issue discount that is recorded as a contra-debt liability and will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest rate method.

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including limitations on: liens; investments; indebtedness; fundamental changes; asset sales; dividends and distributions or repurchases of the Company’s capital stock; transactions with affiliates; certain burdensome agreements; and changes in the Company’s lines of business.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios, including a consolidated leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a capital expenditures covenant. At December 25, 2010, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains certain mandatory prepayment requirements, including a percentage of annual excess cash flow.

At December 25, 2010 and September 25, 2010, respectively, the Company had $1.7 million and $0.7 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and former credit facility, respectively.

-19-

In connection with the new Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt financing costs of $41.4 million. These costs are included inOther Long-Term Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the respective loan using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 also includes $2.6 million related to debt financing costs that were written-off due to the extinguishment of the former credit facility.

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to limit the interest rate exposure to a fixed rate. In accordance with the swap agreements 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, the swap counterparty pays the difference to the Company; if interest expense as calculated is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to the swap counterparty. The following table summarizes the interest rate swaps outstanding (in thousands):

Hedged Transaction	Notional Amount of Underlying Debt		Fixed Rate Received			Maturity		Fair Value of Swaps
								December 25, 2010			September 25, 2010
30-day LIBOR	$	19,800		5.44	%		2011	$	(390	)	$	(647	)
30-day LIBOR	$	40,000		1.38	%		2012	$	(486	)	$	(670	)

	$	79,800						$	(2,088	)	$	(2,733	)

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to enter into additional interest rate hedging agreements within 90 days of the Credit Agreement to mitigate interest rate risk on approximately $400.0 million of outstanding debt.

For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, the Company paid approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in additional interest expense pursuant to swap agreements.

10. Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries

In conjunction with the acquisition of Van Houtte (see Note 3,Acquisitions), the Company became the parent of the following subsidiaries:

Subsidiary Owned	Business Purpose	Majority
L’Authentique Pose Café, Inc.	Coffee Services		50	%
Automates Alouette, Inc.	Coffee Services		75	%
Pause Café Estrie, Inc.	Coffee Services		50	%
Gestion GHMR s.e.n.c.	License		50	%
Corporate Coffee Systems, LLC	U.S. Coffee Services		56	%

The noncontrolling interests in the subsidiaries are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of shareholders’ equity along with the shareholders’ equity of the controlling interest. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interest is classified in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of consolidated net earnings with the net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests deducted from total consolidated net earnings. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in a loss of control or deconsolidation, any retained ownership interests are remeasured with the gain or loss reported to net earnings.

11. Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to ongoing business operations. The primary risks that are mitigated by financial instruments are interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings and had previously entered into coffee futures contracts to hedge price-to-be established coffee purchase commitments of green coffee with the objective of minimizing cost risk due to market fluctuations. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company designates the swap agreements and coffee futures contracts, other than those assumed from Van Houtte, as cash flow hedges and measures the effectiveness of these derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Gains and losses on these instruments are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective, the gains and losses will be reclassified into earnings upon determination.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements with Bank of America N.A. and Sovereign Bank. During the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, the Company paid $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, pursuant to the swap agreements, which increased interest expense.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s derivatives included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in thousands):

Coffee Futures	$	66		Cost of Sales	$	63
Interest Rate Swaps	$	413		Interest Expense	$	—
Total	$	479			$	63

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, however nonperformance is not anticipated.

Other Derivatives

The Company is also exposed to certain foreign currency risks and enters into derivatives to mitigate this exposure. The Company has entered into a five year, $150.0 million Canadian cross currency swap to mitigate the remeasurement risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on an intercompany note. Gains and losses from this instrument are largely offset by the financial impact of remeasuring the intercompany note that is denominated in Canadian currency. This cross currency swap is not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes and is recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

The following table summarizes this derivative contract outstanding at December 25, 2010 (in thousands):

Type of Derivative	Fair Value			Balance Sheet Classification		Gains (losses) recognized in income			Income Statement Classification
Cross currency swap	$	(3,652	)		Other short-term liabilities	$	(3,652	)		Gain (loss) on financial instruments, net
Total	$	(3,652	)			$	(3,652	)

The Company recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $1.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010. During the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, the Company incurred net losses of $6.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively on financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes as follows (in thousands):

Net gains on coffee futures		495			—
Net losses on foreign currency option and forward contracts		(3,220	)		(354	)
	$	(6,377	)	$	(354	)

The foreign currency contracts were entered into to mitigate the risk associated with the Canadian denominated purchase price of Van Houtte.

Van Houtte Derivatives

In conjunction with the acquisition of Van Houtte (see Note 3,Acquisitions), the Company assumed certain derivative financial instruments entered into by Van Houtte prior to the acquisition. These derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts and coffee futures contracts and were established to mitigate certain foreign currency and commodity risks. These derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the derivative contracts outstanding at December 25, 2010 (in thousands):

Type of Derivative	Fair Value			Balance Sheet Classification		Gains (losses) recognized in income		Income Statement Classification

12. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures fair value as the selling price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market on the measurement date. The hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are categorized into the following levels:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets.

-23-

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the entity to use the best available information, including management assumptions.

The following table discloses the level used by fair value measurements at December 25, 2010:

Financial Instrument	Fair Value Measurements Using							Balance  Sheet Classification
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Derivatives	$	—	$	784		$	—		Other current assets
Derivatives		—		(5,927	)		—		Other short-term liabilities
Total	$	—	$	(5,143	)	$	—

The following table discloses the level used by fair value measurements at September 25, 2010:

Financial Instrument	Fair Value Measurements Using							Balance  Sheet Classification
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Derivatives	$	—	$	1,717		$	—		Other current assets
Derivatives	$	—	$	(4,377	)	$	—		Other short-term liabilities
Total	$	—	$	(2,660	)	$	—

Derivative financial instruments include coffee futures contracts, interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency option contracts. To determine fair value, the Company utilizes the market approach valuation technique for coffee futures and foreign currency options and the income approach for the interest rate swap agreements.

Level 2 derivative financial instruments use inputs that are based on market data of identical (or similar) instruments, including forward prices for commodities, interest rates curves and spot prices, that are in observable markets. Derivatives recorded on the balance sheet are at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income for cash flow hedges and in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for other derivatives.

13. Product Warranties

The Company offers a one-year warranty on all Keurig^® brewers it sells. Keurig provides for the estimated cost of product warranties, primarily using historical information and repair or replacement costs, at the time product revenue is recognized. Recently, the Company experienced higher-than-anticipated warranty claims associated with its reservoir brewer models. Management’s analysis of these claims led to the diagnosis of a later-stage performance issue caused by a component failing at higher-than-anticipated rates. While not a safety concern, when manifested, brewers with this issue operate inconsistently or cease operation at a later stage of the warranty life. This issue is not presenting itself consistently across all units, and whether or not it occurs seems to depend on a number of variables including brewer usage rate and water quality. Management believes that they have identified the root cause of the component failure and units produced beginning in January 2011 incorporate an improved component that is expected to substantially eliminate the issue. While the Company maintains a reserve for product warranty costs based on certain estimates that include the findings relating to this component failure, because this is a later-stage issue, actual warranty costs may exceed the reserve, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not need to increase the reserve or experience additional warranty expense related to this quality issue in future periods.

-24-

The changes in the carrying amount of product warranties for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):

	Thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010			Thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009
Balance, beginning of period	$	6,694		$	724
Provision charged to income		16,625			2,332
Usage, net of recoveries		(5,628	)		(1,379	)
Balance, end of period	$	17,691		$	1,677

14. Earnings Per Share

The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share computations (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

	Thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010		Thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 (As Restated)
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share:
Net income	$	2,229	$	10,060
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		141,374,327		130,969,293
Effect of dilutive securities - stock options		5,661,745		6,517,038

Basic net income per share	$	0.02	$	0.08
Diluted net income per share	$	0.02	$	0.07

For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, options to purchase 451,531 and 13,023 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.

15. Compensation Plans

Stock Option Plans

The grant-date fair value of employee stock options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for grants issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2011: an expected life averaging 6 years; an average volatility of 49%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 2.3%. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 was $15.61 per share.

The grant-date fair value of employee stock options and similar instruments is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for grants issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2010: an expected life averaging 6 years; an average volatility of 51%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 2.8%. The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 was $12.59 per share.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The grant-date fair value of employees’ purchase rights under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the purchase rights granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011: an expected life averaging 6 months; an average volatility of 43%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 0.2%. The weighted-average fair values of purchase rights granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 was $10.21 per share.

-25-

For the purchase rights granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the following assumptions were used: an expected life averaging 6 months; an average volatility of 57%; no dividend yield; and a risk-free interest rate averaging 0.2%. The weighted-average fair values of purchase rights granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 was $7.13 per share.

For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, income before income taxes was reduced by a stock compensation expense of $2.2 and $1.9 million (gross of tax), respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company maintained an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”), which terminated at the end of the 2010 calendar year. The ESOP is qualified under sections 401(a) and 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009, the Company recorded compensation costs of $0.3 million to accrue for anticipated stock distributions under the ESOP. The Company recorded no compensation costs for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and there were no unearned shares remaining in the ESOP at December 25, 2010.

Deferred Compensation Plan

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 thirteen week periods ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, $61,000 and $49,000 of compensation expense was recorded under this Plan, respectively.

16. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or 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.

As of December 25, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $10.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively, for federal and state, as well as a $26.0 million combined federal and state capital loss carryforward available to be utilized against future taxable income for years through fiscal year 2029, subject to an annual limitation pertaining to change in ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code. Based upon earnings history, the Company has concluded that it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized prior to their expiration, but the capital loss carryforward will not. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance for the capital loss carryforward.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 25, 2010 and September 25, 2010 was $22.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at December 25, 2010 that would impact the effective tax rate if resolved in favor of the Company is $0.5 million. Note the Company is indemnified for $21.6 million of the total reserve balance. If resolved in favor of the Company, the associated indemnification receivable, recorded inOther Long-Term Assets, would be reduced accordingly. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes.

17. Legal Proceedings

On October 1, 2010, Keurig filed suit against Sturm Foods, Inc. (“Sturm”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Civil Action No. 1:10-CV-00841-SLR) for patent and trademark infringement, false advertising, and other claims, related to Sturm’s sale of “Grove Square” beverage cartridges that claim to be compatible with Keurig brewers. The suit alleges that the “Grove Square” cartridges contain instant rather than fresh-brewed coffee, improperly use Keurig’s trademark, and do not work safely or effectively, in addition to violating Keurig patents. Keurig seeks an injunction prohibiting Sturm from selling these cartridges, as well as money damages. On October 18, 2010, Keurig requested that the court issue a preliminarily injunction on the trademark and false advertising claims pending final resolution of the case. The court is considering such request.

As previously disclosed on a Current report on Form 8-K dated September 28, 2010, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Division of Enforcement informed the Company that it was conducting an inquiry into matters at the Company. The Company, at the direction of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, continues to cooperate fully with the SEC staff’s inquiry.

The Company and certain of its officers and directors are currently subject to a consolidated putative securities fraud class action and a consolidated putative stockholder derivative action, each pending in the United States Court for the District of Vermont, and a putative stockholder derivative action pending in the Superior Court of the State of Vermont for Washington County.

The consolidated putative securities fraud class action, organized under the captionHorowitz v. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., Civ. No. 2:10-cv-00227, is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont before the Honorable William K. Sessions, III. The underlying complaints in the consolidated action allege violations of the federal securities laws in connection with the Company’s disclosures relating to its revenues and its forward guidance. The complaints include counts for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 against all defendants, and for violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the officer defendants. The plaintiffs seek to represent all purchasers of the Company’s securities between July 28, 2010 and September 28, 2010 or September 29, 2010. The complaints seek class certification, compensatory damages, equitable and/or injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs, and such other relief as the court should deem just and proper. Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(3), plaintiffs had until November 29, 2010 to move the court to serve as lead plaintiff of the putative class. On December 20, 2010, the court appointed Jerzy Warchol, Robert M. Nichols, Jennifer M. Nichols, Marc Schmerler and Mike Shanley lead plaintiffs and approved their selection of Glancy Binkow & Goldberg LLP and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP as co-lead counsel and the Law Office of Brian Hehir and Woodward & Kelley, PLLC as liaison counsel. On December 29, 2010 and January 3, 2011, two of the plaintiffs in the underlying actions in the consolidated proceedings, Russell Blank and Dan M. Horowitz, voluntarily dismissed their cases without prejudice. Pursuant to a stipulated motion granted by the court on November 29, 2010, the lead plaintiffs are to file an amended consolidated complaint no later than February 18, 2011, and defendants will move to dismiss that complaint 60 days thereafter’.

-27-

The stockholder derivative actions consist of the following: a consolidated action captioned Himmel v. Robert P. Stiller, et al., Civ. No. 2:10-cv-00233, pending in the United States District Court for the District of Vermont before the Honorable William K. Sessions, III; andM. Elizabeth Dickenson v. Robert P. Stiller, et al., Civ. No. 818-11-10, pending in the Superior Court of the State of Vermont for Washington County. The derivative complaints are asserted nominally on behalf of the Company against certain of its directors and officers and are premised on the same allegations asserted in the putative securities class action complaints described above. The derivative complaints assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. The complaints seek compensatory damages, injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement, attorneys’ fees, costs, and such other relief as the court should deem just and proper. On November 29, 2010, the federal court entered an order consolidating the two federal actions and appointing the firms of Robbins Umeda LLP and Shuman Law Firm as co-lead plaintiffs’ counsel. No scheduling order has been entered in either the state or federal stockholder derivative actions.

The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend the pending lawsuits. Additional lawsuits may be filed and, at this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these lawsuits, the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of these lawsuits or any potential effect they may have on the Company or its operations.

18. Related Party Transactions

The Company uses travel services provided by Heritage Flight, a charter air services company owned by Mr. Robert P. Stiller, the Company’s former CEO and current Chairman of the Board. During the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 and December 26, 2009, Heritage Flight billed the Company the amounts of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for travel services to various employees of the Company.

19. Revision to Fiscal 2010 Year-End Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, management identified that certain amounts previously disclosed within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010 required reclassification. These misstatements had no effect on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. Specifically, the supplemental disclosure of fixed asset purchases included in accounts payable and not disbursed was overstated by approximately $8.2 million. This resulted in an $8.2 million understatement on the capital expenditures for fixed assets line and net cash used for investing activities category for fiscal 2010 and a corresponding understatement of the change in accounts payable line and an overstatement of net cash used in operating activities. The Company will make this immaterial correction when the 2010 financial statements are next issued.

-28-

20. Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an update to accounting guidance for business combinations related to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information. Accounting guidance for business combinations requires a public entity to disclose pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity as though the combination occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. This update clarifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the pro forma information for all business combinations occurring during the current year should be reported as though the combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period. This update also expands the disclosure requirement to include the nature and amount of pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the disclosed pro forma revenue and earnings. This update is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, which is fiscal 2012 for the Company. The effect of adoption will depend primarily on the Company’s acquisitions occurring after such date, if any.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand the results of operations and financial condition of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “We”). You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Business Segments

The Company manages its operations through three operating segments, Specialty Coffee business unit (“SCBU”), Keurig business unit (“Keurig”) and Canadian business unit (“CBU”) as a result of the Company’s recent acquisition of LJVH Holdings, Inc. (“LJVH” and together with its subsidiaries, “Van Houtte”). We evaluate performance primarily based on segment income before taxes. Expenses not specifically related to either operating segment are recorded in the “Corporate” segment.

SCBU sources, produces and sells more than 200 varieties of coffee, cocoa, teas and other beverages in K-Cup^® portion packs and coffee in more traditional packaging, including whole bean and ground coffee selections in bags and ground coffee in fractional packs, for use both at-home (“AH”) and away-from-home (“AFH”). These varieties are sold primarily in North American wholesale channels, including supermarkets and convenience stores, in restaurants and hospitality, to office coffee distributors and directly to consumers via its websitewww.greenmountaincoffee.com. In addition, SCBU sells Keurig single-cup brewers and other accessories directly to consumers and supermarkets.

Keurig is a pioneer and leading manufacturer of gourmet single-cup brewing systems, and also targets its premium patented single-cup brewing systems for use both AH and AFH, mainly in North America. Keurig sells AH single-cup brewers, accessories and coffee, tea, cocoa and other beverages in K-Cup portion packs produced mainly by SCBU and CBU to retailers by principally processing its orders through fulfillment entities for the AH channels. Keurig sells AFH single-cup brewers to distributors for use in offices. Keurig also sells AH brewers, a limited number of AFH brewers and K-Cup portion packs directly to consumers via its website,www.keurig.com.

CBU sources, produces and sells coffees in a variety of packaging formats, including K-Cup portion packs, whose brands include Van Houtte^®, Brûlerie St. Denis^®, Brûlerie Mont-Royal^® and Orient Express^® and its licensed Bigelow^® and Wolfgang Puck^® brands. These varieties are sold primarily to wholesale channels, including supermarkets and retail, and through office coffee services to offices, convenience stores and restaurants mainly throughout Canada. CBU also manufactures brewing equipment and is responsible for all Company coffee brand sales in the grocery channel in Canada.

Cost of sales for the Company consists of the cost of raw materials including coffee beans, cocoa, flavorings and packaging materials; a portion of our rental expense; production, warehousing and distribution costs which include salaries; distribution and merchandising personnel; leases and depreciation on facilities and equipment used in production; the cost of brewers manufactured by suppliers; fulfillment charges (including those paid to third-parties or to fulfillment entities); and freight, duties and delivery expenses. Selling and operating expenses consist of expenses that directly support sales, including media and advertising expenses; a portion of the rental expense; and the salaries and related expenses of employees directly supporting sales and marketing as well as research and development. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses incurred for corporate support and administration, including a portion of the rental expense and the salaries and related expenses of personnel not elsewhere categorized, as well as certain acquisition-related expenses.

Corporate expenses are comprised mainly of the compensation and other related expenses of certain of the Company’s senior executive officers and other selected employees who perform duties related to our entire enterprise. Corporate expenses also include interest expense, foreign exchange gains or losses, certain corporate legal expenses and compensation of the board of directors. In addition, corporate expenses include acquisition-related costs. Corporate assets include cash, short-term investments and deferred income taxes.

-31-

Goodwill and intangibles related to the Frontier, Tully’s, Timothy’s and Diedrich acquisitions are included in the SCBU segment. Keurig related goodwill and intangibles are included in the Keurig segment. Van Houtte related goodwill and intangibles are included in the CBU segment.

The Company analyzes its business on a segment basis, records net sales on a segment basis and eliminates intersegment sales as part of its financial consolidation. Intersegment sales primarily consist of the SCBU and CBU selling K-Cup^® portion packs to Keurig, and Keurig sells brewers and records royalty income from K-Cup^® portion packs when shipped by the SCBU and CBU.

Basis of Presentation

Included in this presentation are discussions and reconciliations of income before taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to income before taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share excluding certain expenses and losses, which we refer to as non-GAAP income before taxes, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures exclude transaction expenses related to the Company’s acquisitions, legal and accounting expenses related to the SEC inquiry, the Company’s internal investigation and pending litigation, foreign exchange impact of hedging the risk associated with the Canadian dollar purchase price of the Van Houtte acquisition, and non-cash related items such as amortization of identifiable intangibles. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in discussing and analyzing its results of operations because it believes the non-GAAP measures provide investors with greater transparency by helping to illustrate the underlying financial and business trends relating to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and comparability between current and prior periods. Management uses the non-GAAP measures to establish and monitor budgets and operational goals and to evaluate the performance of the Company.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, the other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Using only the non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our performance would have material limitations because their calculation is based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that investors may find significant. Management compensates for these limitations by presenting both the GAAP and non-GAAP measures of its results.

Acquisitions

On December 17, 2010, the Company acquired Van Houtte through the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock of LJVH Holdings, Inc., a specialty coffee roaster headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, for approximately USD $907.9 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and a new $1.45 billion credit facility. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment based upon a balance sheet audit prepared as of December 17, 2010 and completed on or before February 14, 2011. The CBU consists of the operations of Van Houtte.

On May 11, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Diedrich Coffee, Inc. (“Diedrich”) for approximately $305.3 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition was financed using available cash on hand, the then existing credit facility and a term loan of $140.0 million.

-32-

On November 13, 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Timothy’s Coffee of the World Inc. (“Timothy’s”), which included its brand and wholesale coffee business for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately USD $155.7 million. The acquisition was financed using available cash on hand.

Revenue

Company Summary

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased 67% to $575.0 million, up from $345.2 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (“the prior year period”). The two primary drivers of the increase in the Company’s net sales were the 89%, or $156.7 million, increase in total K-Cup^® portion pack net sales and the 58%, or $68.6 million, increase in Keurig^® brewer and accessories sales. Approximately 91% of consolidated sales this past quarter were from the Keurig brewing system and its recurring K-Cup portion pack revenue.

In September 2010, the Company announced a price increase on all K-Cup portion packs on October 11, 2010. The Company expects the price increase will be fully implemented by the end of February 2011. In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the price increase resulted in increased net sales dollars of approximately 4% over the prior year period.

SCBU

SCBU segment net sales increased by $86.2 million or 65%, to $219.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $133.2 million in the prior year period with the primary driver being the continued growth in K-Cup net sales.

Keurig

Keurig segment net sales increased by $133.1 million, or 63%, to $345.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $212.0 million reported in the prior year period. The increase in Keurig segment net sales was due to a 58% increase in single-cup brewer and accessories sales and a 75% increase in K-Cup sales to retailers and consumers.

CBU

The Van Houtte acquisition was completed on December 17, 2010 and accordingly results of operations from such date have been included in the Company’s Statement of Operations. For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, Van Houtte revenue was $10.5 million.

-34-

Gross Profit

Company gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $144.4 million, or 25.1% of net sales, as compared to $95.6 million, or 27.7% of net sales, in the prior year period. First quarter 2011 gross margin was adversely affected primarily by higher brewer warranty expenses, to a lesser degree brewer sales returns in the quarter and higher coffee costs. These adverse effects were partially offset by a price increase on K-Cup portion packs beginning October 11, 2010. The increase in warranty expense reduced the fiscal 2011 first quarter’s gross margin by approximately 230 basis points as compared to last year’s first quarter gross margin. The increased warranty expense is a result of the Company experiencing higher-than-anticipated warranty claims associated with its reservoir brewer models. Management’s analysis of these claims led to the diagnosis of a later-stage performance issue caused by a component failing at higher-than-anticipated rates. While not a safety concern, when manifested, brewers with this issue operate inconsistently or cease operation at a later stage of the warranty life. This issue is not presenting itself consistently across all units, and whether or not it occurs seems to depend on a number of variables including brewer usage rate and water quality. Management believes that they have identified the root cause of the component failure and units produced beginning in January 2011 incorporate an improved component that is expected to substantially eliminate the issue. While the Company maintains a reserve for product warranty costs based on certain estimates that include the findings relating to this component failure, because this is a later-stage issue, actual warranty costs may exceed the reserve, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not need to increase the reserve or experience additional warranty expense related to this quality issue in future periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Company selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) increased 59% to $121.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from $76.5 million in the prior-year period. As a percentage of sales, S,G&A improved to 21.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from 22.2% in the prior year period. First quarter 2011 general and administrative expenses included approximately $8.7 million of transaction-related expenses for the Van Houtte acquisition, $6.0 million of legal and accounting expenses associated with the SEC inquiry, the Company’s internal investigation and pending litigation, as well as $6.2 million in amortization of identifiable intangibles related to the Company’s acquisitions, as compared to $5.1 million of transaction-related expenses for the Timothy’s and Diedrich acquisitions and $2.1 million of amortization of identifiable intangibles in the prior year period.

Gain (Loss) on Financial Instruments

The Company incurred $6.4 million in net losses on financial instruments not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The loss was primarily due to a $3.6 million re-measurement of our cross currency swap, which hedges the risk in currency movements on an intercompany note receivable denominated in Canadian currency. In addition, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $3.2 million on derivative instruments that were used to hedge the Canadian dollar purchase price of the Van Houtte acquisition.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss), Net

In conjunction with the acquisition of Van Houtte, the Company has certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in Canadian currency. During the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 we incurred a net foreign currency gain of approximately $1.6 million primarily related to re-measurement of these assets and liabilities.

Interest Expense

Company interest expense was $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $1.0 million in the prior year period due to an increase in outstanding borrowings related to the Van Houtte acquisition combined with the write-off of approximately $2.6 million of deferred financing fees associated with our former credit facility.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was 81.9% as compared to 43.7% in the prior year period reflecting the tax effect of the recognition of the non-deductible acquisition-related expenses incurred during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and first quarter of fiscal 2011 for the Van Houtte acquisition which closed during the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Net Income, Non-GAAP Net Income and Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Company net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 decreased 78% to $2.2 million, as compared to $10.1 million in the prior year period. Non-GAAP net income for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, when excluding transaction-related expenses including write-off of deferred financing expenses as part of the new debt financing, amortization of identifiable intangibles related to the Company’s acquisitions, foreign exchange impact of hedging the risk associated with the Canadian dollar purchase price of the Van Houtte acquisition, and legal and accounting expenses related to the SEC inquiry, the Company’s internal investigation and pending litigation in the quarter, increased 73% to $26.1 million from $15.1 million non-GAAP net income in the prior year period which excludes transaction-related expenses for Timothy’s and Diedrich acquisitions and amortization of identifiable intangibles related to the Company’s acquisitions.

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding increased 6.9% primarily due to the issuance of approximately 8.6 million shares of common stock to Luigi Lavazza S.p.A on September 28, 2010.

Company diluted EPS was $0.02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $0.07 per share in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.18 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to $0.11 per share in the prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We principally have funded our operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and equity offerings. At December 25, 2010, we had $1.1 billion in debt outstanding under our credit facility, $32.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $347.7 million of working capital. At September 25, 2010, we had $354.5 million in debt outstanding, $4.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $257.2 million of working capital. The increase in debt, cash and cash equivalents and working capital at December 25, 2010 as compared to September 25, 2010 was primarily attributable to additional borrowings used to finance the acquisition of Van Houtte for $907.9 million, net of cash acquired.

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operations is principally comprised of net income and is primarily affected by the net change in working capital and non-cash items relating to depreciation and amortization, deferred taxes and excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation plans.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 was $49.7 million as compared to $18.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributed to a decline in inventory levels coming off the fiscal 2011 holiday season along with lower accounts receivable, net of sales returns, as a percentage of sales.

-38-

Investing Activities:

Investing activities primarily include acquisitions of businesses along with expenditures for equipment.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 included $907.9 million used in the acquisition of Van Houtte. Capital expenditures were $47.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as compared to $23.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in capital expenditures was primarily related to manufacturing and information technology infrastructure. We currently expect to invest approximately $198.0 million to $243.0 million in capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 2011.

Financing Activities:

Cash provided by financing activities for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010 totaled $937.5 million that included term loan borrowings under our new credit facility totaling $794.5 million along with net borrowings under our new credit facility revolver of $288.1 million. Repaid borrowings principally related to our old credit facility totaled $354.5 million. In conjunction with our new credit facility we incurred $41.4 million in direct financing fees. We received $249.5 million, net of transaction related expenses, from the issuance of 8,566,649 shares of common stock to Lavazza and $0.4 million from the exercise of employee stock options. In addition, cash flows from operating and financing activities included $0.9 million tax benefit from the exercise of non-qualified options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options. As stock options are exercised, we will continue to receive proceeds and a tax deduction where applicable, however we cannot predict either the amounts or the timing of any such proceeds or tax benefits.

We maintain a senior secured Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders consisting of (i) a $450.0 million U.S. revolving credit facility, (ii) a $200.0 million alternative currency revolving credit facility, (iii) a $250.0 million term loan A facility, and (iv) a $550.0 million term loan B facility. The $550.0 million term loan B contained a 1% original issue discount netting proceeds to the Company of $544.5 million. At December 25, 2010, $250.0 million and $550.0 million was outstanding under term loans A and B, respectively and $288.8 million was outstanding under the revolver ($100.0 million USD and $190.0 million CDN) with $360.0 million was available for borrowing.

Term loans A and B require quarterly principal repayments and have maturities of December 2015 and December 2016, respectively. The revolving credit facilities mature in December 2015. The term loans and revolving credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to Libor or prime, plus a margin. The applicable margin with respect to the term loan A and revolving credit facilities is a percentage per annum varying from 1.0% to 2.5% for prime rate loans and 2.0% to 3.5% for Libor rate loans, based upon the Company’s the leverage ratio. The applicable margin with respect to the term loan B is a percentage per annum equal to 3.0% for prime rate loans and 4.0% for Libor rate loans. With respect to the term loan B, the Libor rate is deemed not to be less than 1.50% per annum. The average effective interest rate at December 25, 2010 was 5.2%, up from 2.7% at September 25, 2010, excluding the amortization of deferred financing charges.

The Credit Agreement requires us to comply, on a quarterly basis, with a consolidated leverage ratio, a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a capital expenditures covenant. We were in compliance with these covenants at December 25, 2010. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including limitations on: liens; investments; indebtedness; fundamental changes; asset sales; dividends and distributions or repurchases of the Company’s capital stock; transactions with affiliates; certain burdensome agreements; and changes in the Company’s lines of business.

-39-

The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements, the effect of which is to limit the interest rate exposure on a portion of the Credit Agreement to a fixed rate versus the 30-day Libor rate as follows: 5.4% on $19.8 million; 1.4% on $40.0 million; and 3.9% on $20.0 million. The total notional amounts of these swaps at December 25, 2010, and September 25, 2010, was $79.8 million. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to enter into additional interest rate hedging agreements within 90 days of the Credit Agreement to mitigate interest rate risk on approximately $400.0 million of outstanding debt subject to variable interest rates.

The fair market value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the counterparty. At December 25, 2010, and September 25, 2010, we estimate we would have paid $2.1 million and $2.7 million (gross of tax), respectively, if we terminated the agreements. We designate the swap agreements as cash flow hedges and the changes in the fair value of the swaps are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (a component of equity).

For the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2010, we paid $0.5 million in additional interest expense pursuant to the swap agreements, compared to $0.7 million for the same period last year.

We believe that our cash flows from operating activities, existing cash and our credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to pay all liabilities in the normal course of business, fund anticipated capital expenditures and service debt requirements through the next 12 months. However, several risks and uncertainties, and opportunities including potential acquisitions or increased capital expenditure requirements, could cause us to need to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financing .

A summary of cash requirements related to our outstanding long-term debt, future minimum lease payments and purchase commitments is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Long-Term Debt (1)		Operating Lease Obligations		Purchase Obligations		Total
2011	$	5,845	$	11,587	$	328,705	$	346,137
2012		11,010		13,455		111,902	$	136,367
2013		14,137		10,136		9,342	$	33,615
2014		20,377		8,196		1,575	$	30,148
2015		26,593		7,128		1,875	$	35,596

Total	$	1,085,017	$	54,233	$	457,074	$	1,596,324

(1) Long-Term Debt includes capital lease obligations.

In addition, we have $22.1 million in unrecognized tax benefits primarily as the result of recent acquisitions.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an update to accounting guidance for business combinations related to the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information. Accounting guidance for business combinations requires a public entity to disclose pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity as though the combination occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. This update clarifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the pro forma information for all business combinations occurring during the current year should be reported as though the combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period. This update also expands the disclosure requirement to include the nature and amount of pro forma adjustments made to arrive at the disclosed pro forma revenue and earnings. This update is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, which is fiscal 2012 for the Company. The effect of adoption will depend primarily on the Company’s acquisitions occurring after such date, if any.

Factors Affecting Quarterly Performance

Historically, the Company has experienced variations in sales and earnings from quarter to quarter due to the holiday season and a variety of other factors, including, but not limited to, general economic trends, the cost of green coffee, competition, marketing programs, weather and special or unusual events. Because of the seasonality our business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates, the commodity “C” price of coffee (the price per pound quoted by the Intercontinental Exchange) and foreign currency exchange rates. To mitigate these risks, we use derivative instruments as described below. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes.

For purposes of specific risk analysis, we use sensitivity analysis to determine the impacts that market risk exposures may have on our financial position or earnings.

Interest rate risks

The table below provides information about our 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
	2011			2012			2013			2014			2015			Thereafter			Total
Long-term debt:
Variable rate (in thousands)	$	5,264		$	10,833		$	13,958		$	20,208		$	26,458		$	926,770		$	1,003,491
Average interest rate		5.3	%		5.1	%		4.9	%		4.6	%		4.4	%		5.1	%		5.1	%
Fixed rate (in thousands)	$	581		$	177		$	179		$	169		$	135		$	80,285		$	81,526
Average interest rate		8.0	%		8.0	%		8.2	%		8.9	%		10.9	%		6.5	%		6.6	%

At December 25, 2010, we had $1.0 billion outstanding under our Credit Agreement subject to variable interest rates. Should interest rates (Libor and Prime rates) increase by 100 basis points, we would incur additional interest expense of $10.0 million annually. As discussed further under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources” the Company is party to interest rate swap agreements. On December 25, 2010, the effect of our interest rate swap agreements was to limit the interest rate exposure on $79.8 million of the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement to a fixed rate versus the 30-day Libor rate as follows: 5.4% on $19.8 million; 1.4% on $40.0 million; and 3.9% on $20.0 million. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to enter into additional interest rate hedging agreements within 90 days of the Credit Agreement to mitigate interest rate risk on approximately $400.0 million of outstanding debt subject to variable interest rates.

Commodity price risks

The “C” price of coffee is subject to substantial price fluctuations caused by multiple factors, including weather and political and economic conditions in coffee-producing countries. Our gross profit margins can be significantly impacted by changes in the “C” price of coffee. We enter into fixed coffee purchase commitments in an attempt to secure an adequate supply of coffee. These agreements are tied to specific market prices (defined by both the origin of the coffee and the time of delivery) but we have significant flexibility in selecting the date of the market price to be used in each contract. We generally fix the price of our coffee contracts three to nine months prior to delivery, so that we can adjust our sales prices to the marketplace. At December 25, 2010, the Company had approximately $240.2 million in green coffee purchase commitments, of which approximately 40% had a fixed price.

In conjunction with the Van Houtte acquisition, the Company assumed coffee futures contracts that were entered into by Van Houtte to mitigate the cost risk due to market fluctuations. These derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and are recorded at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings. At December 25, 2010, Van Houtte held outstanding futures contracts covering 2,963,000 pounds of coffee with a fair market value of $0.8 million. The market risk resulting from a hypothetical adverse market price movement of 10% would decrease the average fair value of these contracts from $0.8 million to $0.1 million at December 25, 2010.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Internationally we currently operate in Canada. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. We also source our green coffee and brewers from countries outside the United States; however, most of our green coffee and brewer purchases are transacted in the United States dollar.

The majority of the transactions conducted by our Canadian Business Unit are in the Canadian dollar. As a result, our revenues are adversely affected when the United States dollar strengthens against the Canadian dollar and are positively affected when the United States dollar weakens. Conversely, our expenses are positively affected when the United States dollar strengthens against the Canadian dollar and adversely affected when the United States dollar weakens.

As described in Note 11,Derivative Financial Instruments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, from time to time we engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to mitigate our foreign currency rate exposures. More specifically, we hedge, on a net basis, the foreign currency exposure of a portion of our assets and liabilities that are denominated in Canadian dollars. These contracts are recorded at fair value and are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. As a result, the changes in fair value are recognized in theGain (loss) on financial instruments, net line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We do not engage in speculative transactions, nor do we hold derivative instruments for trading purposes.

At December 25, 2010, we had a 5-year cross-currency swap of CDN $150.0 million that was not designated as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes, which largely offset the financial impact of the re-measurement of an inter-company note receivable denominated in Canadian dollars for the same amount. The cross-currency swap is amortized over 5 years matching the amortization of the repayment on the note receivable. Increases or decreases in the cross-currency swap are generally offset by corresponding decreases or increases in the US dollar value of the Canadian dollar inter-company note. We also have some naturally occurring hedges where increases or decreases in the foreign currency exchange rates on other inter-company balances denominated in Canadian dollars, are largely offset by increases or decreases associated with our alternative currency revolving credit facility that is also denominated in Canadian dollars.

The market risk associated with the foreign exchange contracts resulting from currency exchange rate movements is expected to mitigate the market risk of the underlying obligation being hedged. Our net un-hedged assets denominated in a currency other than the functional currency were approximately $16.3 million at December 25, 2010. A hypothetical 10% movement in the foreign currency exchange rate would increase or decrease net assets by approximately $1.6 million with a corresponding charge to operations. In addition, at December 25, 2010 our net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries was approximately $494.7 million. A hypothetical 10% movement in the foreign currency exchange rate would increase or decrease our net investment in our Canadian subsidiaries by approximately $49.0 million with a corresponding charge to other comprehensive income.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Background

As previously disclosed under Part II–Item 9A–Controls and Procedures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 25, 2010 based on the criteria established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) due to material weaknesses related to the Company’s financial statement consolidation process and the Company’s accruals related to marketing and customer incentive programs. Those material weaknesses resulted in the misstatement and audit adjustments of financial statement line items and related financial disclosures to the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s management has been actively engaged in the implementation of remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses. For a complete description of management’s remediation plan, see Part I–Item 9A–Controls and Procedures in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 25, 2010.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 25, 2010. Based on that evaluation and the material weaknesses referenced above, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 25, 2010.

Progress on Plan for Remediation

Management has been actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses related to the Company’s financial statement consolidation process and the Company’s accruals related to marketing and customer incentive programs, as well as other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts, outlined below, are intended both to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance the Company’s overall financial control environment. Management believes that these material weaknesses arose due to the Company’s rapid growth, both organically and through acquisitions, outpacing the development of the Company’s accounting infrastructure. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the following changes to our internal control over financial reporting were made to address the material weaknesses:

• Management has performed an initial review of the processes and procedures used in the Company’s intercompany accounting, and has begun to implement changes to the intercompany sales and profit elimination processes, including:

• introducing a systemic tracking of intercompany sales in the general ledger using specific department codes to identify intercompany sales; and

• implementing a consistent process for the calculation of intercompany profit margin on brewers and K-Cup^® portion packs, which includes reconciliation to the general ledger to ensure completeness of the margin elimination and consistent valuation of brewers and K-Cup portion packs in ending inventories.

• Management has hired a new accounting manager at the Keurig business unit. Responsibilities for this new position include establishing and implementing accounting best practices; reviewing and ensuring the timely reconciliation of general ledger accounts; developing and ensuring adherence to accounting policies; and providing training and support and knowledge of generally accepted accounting principles to technical accounting situations and the Keurig finance team.

• Management has begun to implement controls related to the accounting for customer incentives at both the Specialty Coffee business unit and the Keurig business unit by:

Specialty Coffee Business Unit

• implementing a more thorough review of unapplied deductions and establishing a new reconciliation process to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the accrual for customer incentives.

Keurig Business Unit

• implementing a centralized process to track all customer incentive programs to provide greater visibility of accruals and discounts and allow management to effectively assess the appropriate accounting treatment of each program;

• requiring that the Vice President of Sales reviews and approves all customer incentive programs and ensures that the terms and conditions of these programs are fully documented;

• requiring that the Vice President of Finance and Controller reviews final program documents to determine the proper accounting treatment for each program;

• instituting a quarterly meeting among the Vice President of Sales, Keurig Controller and all Sales Directors to review all customer incentive program documents and customer communications in order to assure accurate accounting for such programs; and

• requiring that the Vice President of Finance approve any deductions taken by retailers that were not detailed in final program documentation.

Remediation of the material weaknesses continues to be a top priority for management and we will continue to further evaluate opportunities for improvement and work diligently to improve our internal controls over financial reporting. Management has not yet completed its remediation efforts and any remediation actions put in place must be effective over a period of time, fully documented and tested. Due to these material weaknesses being identified during the year end closing process a full remediation plan has not been fully implemented and tested as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2010.

As a result of the remediation efforts noted above, there were changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 25, 2010 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
