Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements Information

     The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 15, 2004 presents the financial position of Diedrich Coffee, Inc. (the “Company”) assuming the sale on February 10, 2005 of certain assets of the Company’s Gloria Jean’s brand international operations (the “Transaction”) had been completed on that date.

     The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the twenty-four weeks ended December 15, 2004 and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 present the Company’s results of operations assuming that the Transaction had been completed on July 3, 2003, the first day of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. In the opinion of management, these statements include all material adjustments necessary to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the Transaction on the historical financial information of the Company. The adjustments set forth in the “Pro Forma Adjustments” column are described in the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

     The sale of the Gloria Jean’s brand international operations provided $16.0 million in cash and approximately $7.0 million in future payments less estimated sales expenses of approximately $350,000. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $18.9 million. Proceeds from the sale will be invested in safe, short-term liquid investments until such time as the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management decide on the use of proceeds.

     The unaudited pro forma financial statements for the periods presented do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations or financial position actually would have been had the Transaction occurred on the dates noted above, or to project the Company’s results of operations for any future periods. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual amounts could differ materially from these estimates. The pro forma results should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004 and quarterly report 10-Q for the twenty-four weeks ended December 15, 2004.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements of Diedrich Coffee, Inc.

A.   The asset allocation of the sale of the Gloria Jean’s international operations to Jireh

Purchase price — Cash				$	16,000,000
Purchase price — Future payments					7,020,000
Deferred interest					(1,630,000	)
Goodwill					(2,100,000	)
Trademarks, net					(20,000	)
Estimated Expenses					(350,000	)
Gain on Sale of Gloria Jean’s international operations				$	18,920,000
Future payments are payable under a consulting agreement, a trademark license agreement and a roasting agreement. As 50% of the Year 1 payment will be received in 6 months and the remaining amount is due within a year, the first payment is not discounted, whereas Years 2-6 payments are discounted at an annual rate of 8%. The deferred interest amount represents the discount amount of the future payments using an 8% discount rate. The Company has a subordinated security interest in the assets being acquired by Jireh. Aggregate payments are payable as follows:
Payment #1	January 31, 2006	$	1,000,000
Payment #2	January 31, 2007		1,000,000
Payment #3	January 31, 2008		1,000,000
Payment #4	January 31, 2009		1,000,000
Payment #5	January 31, 2010		2,000,000
Payment #6	January 31, 2011		1,020,000
		$	7,020,000

B.   To record the collection of outstanding accounts receivable from Jireh

Cash	$	1,291,000
Accounts Receivable		(1,291,000	)

C.   To recognize deferred franchise fees no longer subject to any performance by the Company

Deferred Franchise Fee Income	$	940,000
Franchise Fee Income		(940,000	)

D.   To record an income tax provision on the gain on sale of Gloria Jean’s international operations based on an estimated effective rate of 4%. This estimated tax rate is different than the statutory tax rates due to the projected utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards and alternative minimum taxes. The utilization of these NOL carry-forwards could be limited due to restrictions imposed under federal and state laws. Because the Company has not completed its tax analysis of this transaction, the estimated tax liability may differ significantly from the actual tax liability.

Tax Provision Gain on Sale of Assets	$	800,000
Accrued Taxes		(800,000	)

E.   To eliminate Gloria Jean’s international operations revenue, costs and expenses assuming the sale was consumated on July 3, 2003
