Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On September 29, 2005, Diedrich Coffee, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended June 29, 2005. The Company also announced that it had filed its Form 10-K/A for fiscal year 2004 in which prior year’s financial statements had been restated to correct errors in its accounting for leases. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 21, 2005, the Company announced that Randy Powell had resigned from the Company’s board of directors, including its Audit Committee and that, as a result of Mr. Powell’s resignation, the Company had one director eligible to continue to serve on the Audit Committee. The Company also announced that it had provided Nasdaq with written notice that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), which provides, among other matters, that a registrant’s audit committee must consist of at least three independent directors.

On September 23, 2005, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that, because the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), Nasdaq was reviewing the Company’s eligibility for continued listing. The letter requested that the Company provide Nasdaq with a specific plan and timetable to reestablish compliance with the abovementioned rule by October 10, 2005. If, after reviewing the information submitted by the Company, Nasdaq determines that the Company’s plan is not adequate, Nasdaq may provide with Company with a notice of delisting.
