Highlight of Business Operations:

Net revenue for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2011 increased $11.0 million, or 13.7%, compared to the corresponding period in 2010. Sales of whole bean and related products increased 19.6% to $52.1 million. Net revenue from beverages and pastries increased 6.7% to $39.1 million.

In the retail segment, net revenue increased $2.5 million, or 5.0%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010, driven by growth in both beverage and pastries sales and whole bean coffee and related sales. Sales of beverages and pastries in the retail segment increased by 6.7% to $39.1 million and sales of whole bean coffee and related products increased by 0.4% to $13.2 million. The beverage and pastries sales increase was due to price increases in the third quarter of 2010 and April 2011. Whole bean coffee sales slightly benefited from the price increases, partially offset by continuing cannibalization of bean sales in retail stores by sales of Peet s coffee in grocery stores.

In the specialty sales segment, net revenue increased $8.5 million, or 28.0%, compared to the corresponding period of 2010, as summarized by business channel below. The growth in net revenue in grocery was due primarily to increased sales in existing markets and to a lesser extent to the addition of new grocery store accounts. Net revenue in foodservice and office coffee sales increased primarily due to new accounts added over the last 12 months. Net revenue in the home delivery channel increased due to price increases in the fourth quarter of 2010, partially offset by lower volume due to cannibalization from our grocery business.
