The Company&#8217;s commodity securities are classified within Level 2 and include coffee futures and <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">options contracts. To determine fair value, the Company utilizes the market approach valuation technique for the coffee futures contracts. The Company uses Level 2 inputs that are based on market data of similar instruments that are in observable markets. All commodities on the balance sheet are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings and not reflected as a net amount as a separate component of stockholders&#8217; equity.</font></font></div>
