NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 13, 2006

(UNAUDITED)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Diedrich Coffee, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2006.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the financial results of Company’s Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People retail operations which are to be sold or closed are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cumulative effects, if any, of adopting FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

On October 20, 2000, the Company’s board of directors authorized the adoption of the Diedrich Coffee, Inc. 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2000 Equity Incentive Plan”) and the concurrent discontinuation of the option grants under the Diedrich Coffee, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and the Diedrich Coffee, Inc. 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan. The Company’s stockholders approved the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan on October 16, 2000. A total of 1,087,500 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The board of directors determines the number of shares, terms and exercise periods for awards under the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan on a case by case basis, except for automatic annual grants of options to non-employee directors. Options generally vest ratably over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price of options is generally equivalent to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

On June 30, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation.

The Company chose the modified-prospective transition alternatives in adopting SFAS 123R. Under the modified-prospective transition method, compensation cost is recognized in financial statements issued subsequent to the date of adoption for all stock-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption, as well as for any unvested awards that were granted prior to the date of adoption. Because the Company previously adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, it will recognize compensation cost relating to the unvested portion of awards granted prior to the date of adoption using the same estimate of the grant-date fair value and the same attribution method used to determine the pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123, except that forfeitures rate will be estimated for all options, as required by SFAS 123R.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the price of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination rates within the valuation model. The

expected term of options is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair values of the options were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:


	TWELVE WEEKS ENDED				TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS ENDED
	December 13, 2006		December 14, 2005		December 13, 2006		December 14, 2005
Risk free interest rate	4.81	%	4.19	%	4.81% – 5.29	%	4.19% – 4.23	%
Expected life	2 years		2 years		2 years		2 – 6 years
Expected volatility	64	%	75	%	55% – 64	%	75	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%
Forfeiture rate	6.32	%	4.97	%	5.02% – 6.32	%	3.91% – 4.97	%

A summary of option activity under our stock option plans for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 is as follows:


	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual term (years)	Aggregate intrinsic Value ($)
Options outstanding at June 28, 2006	941,000		$	4.94

Options exercisable at December 13, 2006	428,000		$	5.49	7.0	$	26,000

Stock-based compensation expense included in the statement of operations for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 was approximately $95,000 and for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 was approximately $162,000. As of December 13, 2006, there was approximately $211,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to options granted under our plans that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 was approximately $13,000 and approximately $124,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006.

A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested options as of December 13, 2006, and changes during the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006, is presented below:


Unvested Options	Options		Weighted – Average Grant- Date Fair Value ($)

7. LEASE CONTINGENCIES

The Company is liable on the master real property leases for 74 Gloria Jean’s franchise locations. Under the Company’s historical franchising business model, the Company executed the master lease for these locations and entered into subleases on the same terms with its franchisees, which typically pay their rent directly to the landlords. Should any of these franchisees default on their subleases, the Company would be responsible for making all required payments under the master lease. The Company’s maximum theoretical future exposure at December 13, 2006, computed as the sum of all remaining lease payments through the expiration dates of the respective leases, was $18,124,000. This amount does not take into consideration any mitigating measures that the Company could take to reduce this exposure in the event of default; including re-leasing the location or terminating the master lease by negotiating a lump sum payment to the landlord in an amount that is less than the sum of all remaining future rents.

8. OUTSTANDING FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

On May 10, 2004 the Company entered into a $5,000,000 Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. The agreement provides for the Company to, at its election, issue notes with up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000. The notes are to be amortized on a monthly basis at a rate that will repay 60% of the principal amount of the note by June 30, 2008. The remaining 40% will mature on that date. Interest is payable at three-month LIBOR plus 5.30%, and a facility fee of 1.00% annually is payable on the unused portion of the facility. The agreement contains covenants that limit the amount of indebtedness that the Company may have outstanding in relation to its tangible net worth. As of December 13, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants in the agreement. Notes are convertible into common stock only upon certain changes of control. For notes issued and repaid, warrants to purchase shares are to be issued with the same rights and restrictions for exercise as existed for convertibility of the notes at the time of their issuance. Warrants are exercisable only in the event of a change of control and expire on June 30, 2010. The fair value of warrants issued with respect to notes repaid will be recorded as a discount to debt, at the date of issuance, which will then be amortized using the effective interest method. Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company will be issued only upon a change in control of the Company. The lender under this agreement is a limited partnership of which the chairman of the Company’s board of directors serves as the sole general partner. A total of 455,184 warrants are issuable upon a change in control for previous debt repayments under this facility. The Company has issued 4,219 warrants as of December 13, 2006.

On August 23, 2006, the Company issued a $1,000,000 note under the facility and recorded a discount of $25,000 to reflect the value of the warrants as of the borrowing date. On October 2, 2006, the Company issued a $1,000,000 note under the facility and recorded a discount of $26,000 to reflect the value of the warrants as of the borrowing date. As of December 13, 2006, the Company had $3,139,000 available for future borrowing. On December 22, 2006, the Company borrowed an additional amount of $1,000,000 under this facility.

On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), which revised the definition of “Availability” to mean, on any date, the loan amount less the sum of the principal amounts then outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement. Under the original Note Purchase Agreement, availability was calculated using a formula that reduced availability over time.

On November 4, 2005, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with Bank of the West. The agreement provides for a $750,000 letter of credit facility that expires on October 15, 2007. The letter of credit facility is secured by a deposit account at Bank of the West. As of December 13, 2006, this deposit account had a balance of $661,000, which is shown as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 13, 2006, $651,000 of letters of credit was outstanding under the letter of credit facility. The agreement contains covenants that, among other matters, require the Company to submit financial statements to the bank within specified time periods. As of December 13, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all Bank of the West agreement covenants.

On March 31, 2006, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”). Amendment No. 2: (i) contains a waiver with respect to the default of the Minimum EBITDA Covenant as of March 8, 2006 and removes the Minimum EBITDA from the Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) clarifies that warrants to purchase common stock of the Company will be issued with respect to repaid principal amounts only upon a change in control of the Company; (iii) increases the interest rate applicable to outstanding amounts under the credit facility by 2%, to LIBOR plus 5.30%; and (iv) extended the exercise date of all warrants issued or to be issued under the Note Purchase Agreement by one year, to May 10, 2009, which was subsequently extended as discussed below. The maturity date for any notes issued in the future was unaffected by Amendment No. 2. As of December 13, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all agreement covenants as amended by Amendment No 2.

On September 22, 2006, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 3”). Amendment No. 3 (i) changes the date specified in the definition of “Maturity Date” from May 10, 2007 to June 30, 2008; (ii) adjusts the calculation of monthly payments to reflect the extended maturity date; (iii) removes a condition precedent to each loan that previously required there to be no material adverse effect or event reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect before the obligation of the lender to purchase any note arose; (iv) amends the events of default so that an event that has, or is reasonably likely to have, a material adverse effect will not be considered such an event of default; (v) amends the notice requirements so that the Company is not required to give notice to the lender of any event that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect; and (vi) extends the exercise date of all warrants issued or to be issued under the Note Purchase Agreement to June 30, 2010.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, Starbucks agreed to pay the Company up to $13,520,000 in cash, which includes payment of $120,000 as consideration for the Company’s agreement to a non-compete provision, plus the amount of any prepaid items associated with the Company Stores that are transferred. The actual amount paid by Starbucks under the asset purchase agreement is dependent on which and how many of the Company Stores are ultimately transferred to Starbucks. Ten percent of the amount paid to the Company upon transfer of the Company Stores is required to be deposited into an escrow fund to be held in connection with the Company’s indemnification obligations.

The closing for the transfer of an initial group of Company Stores occurred on January 16, 2007, which related to the transfer of 15 Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People leaseholds and related assets to Starbucks in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $5,560,000 to the Company and the deposit of $618,000 in the escrow fund held for the Company’s indemnification obligations. The next transfer of Company Stores is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2007 with respect to additional Company Stores as to which certain conditions have been satisfied or waived. Any additional transfers

of Company Stores shall occur on one or more dates after February 1, 2007 and on or prior to June 1, 2007 upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions that have not been deemed satisfied or waived.

The Company and Starbucks have made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the asset purchase agreement. Specifically, they have agreed that, subject to a “fiduciary-out” provision and payment of a break-up fee, the Company will not (i) take any action to solicit any proposal from, (ii) furnish any information to, or (iii) participate in any discussions with, any entity other than Starbucks regarding any transaction involving the Company Stores. Upon termination of the asset purchase agreement under certain circumstances, including the Company’s entry into an alternative transaction involving the Company Stores, the Company shall pay Starbucks’ actual fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction up to a maximum amount of $500,000; provided, however, that Starbucks is entitled to a minimum of $250,000, regardless of its actual fees and expenses. The asset purchase agreement also contains customary indemnification provisions for certain claims and provides for a basket of $100,000 and a cap of $2,000,000 for breaches of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the asset purchase agreement.

The consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including: approval of the transaction by the Company’s stockholders which occurred on December 12, 2006 and the receipt of consents to the assignment of the leases for each of the Company Stores that are transferred.

As part of the asset purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to a non-compete provision that for three years after the Closing restricts the Company’s ability to operate or have any interest in the ownership or operation of any entity operating any retail specialty coffee stores in any city where a Company Store is presently located. The non-compete provision applies only to stores opened after the date of the asset purchase agreement and does not apply to (1) any retail stores operated under the “Gloria Jean’s” brand name, (2) wholesale sales to retail businesses that are not operated by the Company, or other non-retail businesses, or (3) the conversion of Company-operated stores existing on the date of the asset purchase agreement to franchise stores. The Company has also agreed that it will not solicit any Starbucks employee to enter the Company’s employment for three years after the Closing.

No assurances can be given that the asset purchase will be completed according to the foregoing terms, if at all.

Assets held for sale consisted of the following:


	December 13, 2006		June 28, 2006
Property and equipment, net	$	4,199,000	$	5,027,000

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) Salary Deferral Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for eligible employees. Employer matching contributions relating to the 401(k) Plan totaled $11,000 for each of the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 and

December 14, 2005 and $24,000 and $23,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 and December 14, 2005, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Effective December 15, 2005, the Company amended its non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Under the amended plan, plan participants may elect to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion (from 0% to 100%) of their base salary, service bonus, and performance-based compensation. Any amounts deferred by a plan participant will be credited to the plan participant’s deferred compensation account. The plan further provides that the Company may make discretionary contributions to a plan participant’s deferred compensation account. Each plan participant will be vested in the amounts held in the plan participant’s deferred compensation account as follows: (i) one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times with respect to all amounts of deferred compensation; and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) vested at all times with respect to all employer discretionary contributions. The Company made no discretionary contributions to plan participants’ accounts for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 and December 14, 2005.

The plan also provides that any amounts deferred under the plan may not be distributed to a plan participant until the earlier of: (i) the plan participant’s separation from service with the Company; (ii) the Plan participant’s retirement from the Company; (iii) the plan participant’s disability; (iv) the plan participant’s death; (v) the occurrence of a change in control of the Company; (vi) the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in the plan; or (vii) such other date as set forth in the plan participant’s deferral election, including a date that occurs prior to the plan participant’s separation from service with the Company. Any amounts distributed to a plan participant will be paid in a form specified by the plan participant, or in the form of either a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the plan participant’s deferred compensation account balance or equal annual installments of the plan participant’s deferred compensation account balance over a period not to exceed (i) 20 years in the case of a distribution due to separation from service, death or disability or (ii) five years in the case of a distribution for educational expenses.

The Company has purchased a COLI contract insuring two of the participants in the deferred compensation plan. The policy is held in a trust to provide additional benefit security for the deferred compensation plan. The assets in the trust are owned by the Company and are subject to claims of its creditors. The gross cash surrender value of these contracts as of December 13, 2006 was $497,000 as shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total death benefits payable was $14,968,000 at December 13, 2006. Management intends to use the future death benefits from these insurance contracts to fund the deferred compensation arrangements; however, there may not be a direct correlation between the timing of the future cash receipts and disbursements under these arrangements.

OVERVIEW

Business

We are a specialty coffee roaster, wholesaler and retailer and our brands include Diedrich Coffee, Gloria Jean’s, and Coffee People. We roast high quality specialty coffees at our roasting facility in central California and sell whole bean and ground coffees to our franchise partners, office coffee service distributors, foodservice customers including restaurants and hotels; other wholesale customers such as specialty retailers, and directly to individual consumers via our web stores. We believe that we are differentiated from other specialty coffee companies by the quality of our coffee products and the superior customer service that we provide to our customers. Our roasting recipes take into account the specific variety, origin and physical characteristics of each coffee bean to maximize its unique flavor.

As of December 13, 2006, we owned and operated 52 retail locations and franchised 150 other retail locations under these brands, for a total of 202 retail coffee outlets. As of December 13, 2006, our retail units were located in 32 states and we had over 800 wholesale accounts with office coffee service distributors, chain and independent restaurants and others.

Recent Developments

The Company’s strategic direction will focus on growing the wholesale business segment and the related distribution channels, including franchise stores. As part of the plan to narrow the focus of the retail business segment to only franchise operations, the Company plans to close all Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People company-operated locations, but retain the two brands for its wholesale and franchise operations. In conjunction with the transaction with Starbucks Corporation, the Company has commenced the exiting of any remaining Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People company-operated locations. As such, the financial results of company-operated Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People retail operations are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The financial results of company-operated Gloria Jean’s retail operations are reported as continuing operations for all periods presented.

of approximately $5,560,000 to the Company and the deposit of approximately $618,000 in the escrow fund held for the Company’s indemnification obligations. The next transfer of Company Stores is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2007 with respect to additional Company Stores as to which certain conditions have been satisfied or waived. Any additional transfers of Company Stores shall occur on one or more dates after February 1, 2007 and on or prior to June 1, 2007 upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions that have not been deemed satisfied or waived.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

Historically, our business 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, green coffee costs, competitive factors, marketing initiatives, weather and special or unusual events which are outside of our control. Our franchise partners are subject to the seasonal fluctuations that affect retailers in general. 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.

Wholesale sales to OCS (Office Coffee Services) and foodservice customers for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased by $1,534,000, or 42.0%, to $5,185,000 from $3,651,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005 led by a 44.5% increase in Keurig “K-cup” sales. Sales of roasted coffee to our franchisees remained relatively flat with a decrease of $18,000, or 0.8%, for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 as compared to the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005.

2005. The increase was primarily due to a $67,000 increase in royalties offset by a decrease in new store fees of $52,000. Comparable store sales at Diedrich franchise locations increased 2.6% and decreased 4.2% at Gloria Jean’s franchise locations during the second quarter as compared to the respective prior year period.

Retail Sales. Retail sales for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 decreased by $256,000, or 23.5%, to $834,000 from $1,090,000 for the respective prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a net decrease of five company-operated Gloria Jean’s stores since the beginning of the 2005 fiscal year. Comparable store sales at Gloria Jean’s company-operated locations decreased 0.9% during the second quarter of the current fiscal year. Retail sales from our internet website increased by $60,000, or 23.2%, to $315,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 from $255,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005.

Cost of Sales and Related Occupancy Costs. Cost of sales and related occupancy costs for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased $1,334,000, or 28.5%, to $6,014,000 from $4,680,000 in the respective prior year period. Wholesale cost of sales increased by $1,160,000 or 28.5% but as a percentage to wholesale sales remained relatively flat year over year at 71.3% for the current quarter compared to 69.9% in the respective prior year period. Occupancy costs for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased by $324,000 to $484,000 compared to $160,000 in the prior year period primarily resulting from closed store reserve adjustments for Gloria Jean’s in the amount of $385,000.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006, as a percentage of retail and wholesale sales, increased from 12.6% of retail and wholesale sales for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005 to 24.0% for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006. This increase is the result of the realignment of certain functions of the franchise segment to include costs associated with salaries and related general and administrative functions previously reflected in general and administrative expenses in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation remained relatively flat with a slight decrease of $24,000 to $241,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 as compared to the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,023,000, or 35.9%, to $1,825,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 compared to $2,848,000 for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 36.1% for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005 to 20.0% for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 due primarily as a result of the reclassification of salaries and related franchise direct overhead costs to operating expenses in the current year as a result of the realignment of certain functions.

Interest Expense and Other, Net. Interest expense, interest income and other income, net was $30,000 in the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 compared to $115,000 in the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005. This change was the result of a reduction in interest income due to a decrease in invested cash compared to the respective prior year period.

Income Tax Benefit. We had losses from continuing operations and from discontinued operations for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006 and December 14, 2005. In accordance with SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the income tax benefit generated by the loss has been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of generating future taxable income.

Results of Discontinued Operations. As a result of the pending sale of the Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People retail stores, the results from these components of our business are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Losses from discontinued operations were $1,060,000, net of $0 in taxes for the twelve weeks ended December 13, 2006. Losses from discontinued operations were $671,000, net of $0 in taxes for the twelve weeks ended December 14, 2005.

Twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 compared with the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005

Total Net Revenue. Total net revenue for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased by $2,564,000, or 19.7%, to $15,587,000 from $13,023,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. Each component of total revenue is discussed below.

Wholesale Revenue. Our wholesale sales for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased by $3,065,000, or 32.6%, to $12,459,000 from $9,394,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. Wholesale sales to OCS and foodservice customers for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased by $3,055,000, or 49.3%, to $9,251,000 from $6,196,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005 led by a 52.8% increase in Keurig “K-cup” sales. Sales of roasted coffee to our franchisees remained relatively flat at an increase of $10,000, or 0.3%, for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 as compared to the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005.

Franchise Revenue. Our franchise revenue consists of initial franchise fees, franchise renewal fees, area development fees, and royalties received on sales at franchised locations. Franchise revenue increased by $62,000, or 3.7%, to $1,758,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 from $1,696,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. The increase was primarily due to $123,000 increase in royalties offset by a decrease in new store fees of $61,000. Comparable store sales at Diedrich franchise locations increased 2.1% and decreased 2.8% at Gloria Jean’s franchise locations during the first quarter.

Retail Sales. Retail sales for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 decreased by $563,000, or 29.1%, to $1,370,000 from $1,933,000 for the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a net decrease of three company-operated Gloria Jean’s stores since December 14, 2005. Comparable store sales at Gloria Jean’s company-operated locations increased 2.0% during the second quarter. Retail sales from our internet website also increased by $128,000, or 32.7%, to $519,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 from $391,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005.

Cost of Sales and Related Occupancy Costs. Cost of sales and related occupancy costs for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased $2,187,000, or 27.6%, to $10,116,000 from $7,929,000 in the respective prior year period. As a percentage of total revenue, cost of sales and related occupancy increased from 60.9% to 64.9% in the current year and was primarily due to an increase in wholesale cost of sales from 59.3% to 65.2% as a percent of wholesale and retail revenue. Occupancy costs for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 increased $178,000, or 42.1 %, to $601,000 from $423,000 in the respective prior year period primarily resulting from closed store reserve adjustments for Gloria Jean’s in the amount of $455,000 offset by a decrease in franchise rent expense of $78,000 and company retail store rent of $199,000.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006, as a percentage of retail and wholesale sales, increased from 15.9% of retail and wholesale sales for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005 to 25.5% for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006. This increase is the result of the realignment of certain functions of the franchise segment to include costs associated with salaries and related general and administrative functions previously reflected in general and administrative expenses in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation remained relatively flat with a slight decrease of $45,000 to $471,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 as compared to the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,698,000, or 31.9%, to $3,624,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 compared to $5,322,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased from 40.9% for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005 to 23.3% for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 due primarily as a result of the reclassification of salaries and related franchise direct overhead costs to operating expenses in the current year as a result of the realignment of certain functions.

Interest Expense and Other, Net. Interest expense, interest income and other income, net was $95,000 in the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 compared to $241,000 in the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. This change was the result of a reduction in interest income due to a decrease in invested cash compared to the prior year same period.

Income Tax Benefit. We had losses from continuing operations and from discontinued operations for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 and December 14, 2005. In accordance with SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the income tax benefit generated by the loss has been fully reserved due to the uncertainty of generating future taxable income.

Results of Discontinued Operations. As a result of the pending sale of the Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People retail stores, the results from these components of our business are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Losses from discontinued operations were $1,511,000, net of $0 in taxes for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006. Losses from discontinued operations were $934,000, net of $0 in taxes for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Financial Condition. At December 13, 2006, we had cash of $1,793,000 as compared to $2,593,000 at June 28, 2006, and we had working capital of $8,150,000 at December 13, 2006 as compared to working capital of $9,877,000 at June 28, 2006. Total outstanding capital lease obligations decreased to $319,000 at December 13, 2006 from $328,000 at

June 28, 2006. At December 13, 2006, we had $1,861,000 of outstanding long-term debt compared to $0 at June 28, 2006. From June 28, 2006 to December 13, 2006, stockholder’s equity decreased from $24,267,000 to $20,956,000.

On January 16, 2007, we transferred 15 stores to Starbucks and received cash payment of approximately $5,560,000.

The accounts receivable balance of $5,012,000 as of December 13, 2006 is an increase of $2,183,000 from the June 28, 2006 balance of $2,829,000. This increase is related to the seasonality of our business and to an increase in wholesale sales to third parties. The accounts payable balance of $4,100,000 as of December 13, 2006 is an increase of $1,171,000 from the June 28, 2006 balance of $2,929,000. This increase is also attributable to the seasonality of our business along with the increase in wholesale sales to third parties.

Cash Flows. Net cash used in operating activities for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 totaled $2,845,000 as compared with $1,696,000 cash used in operating activities for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. This increase is the net result of many factors more fully enumerated in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the accompanying financial statements.

Net cash used in investing activities for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 totaled $147,000 as compared with $3,226,000 cash used in investing activities for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. During the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006, a total of $689,000 was used to invest in property and equipment primarily related to retail stores of $328,000, our Castroville roasting facility $270,000 and our home office facility $91,000. These expenditures were partially offset by $624,000 of payments received on notes receivable.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 totaled $2,192,000 as compared to $70,000 for the twenty-four weeks ended December 14, 2005. The increase is primarily attributed the $2,000,000 in borrowings under our Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement during the twenty-four weeks ended December 13, 2006 with no comparable activity in the prior period.

Outstanding Debt and Financing Arrangements. On May 10, 2004 the Company entered into a $5,000,000 Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement. The agreement provides for the Company to, at its election, issue notes up to an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000. The notes are to be amortized on a monthly basis at a rate that will repay 60% of the principal amount of the note by June 30, 2008. The remaining 40% will mature on that date. Interest is payable at three-month LIBOR plus 5.30%, and a facility fee of 1.00% annually is payable on the unused portion of the facility. The agreement contains covenants that limit the amount of indebtedness that the Company may have outstanding in relation to its tangible net worth. As of December 13, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants in the agreement. Notes are convertible into common stock only upon certain changes of control. For notes issued and repaid, warrants to purchase shares are to be issued with the same rights and restrictions for exercise as existed for convertibility of the notes at the time of their issuance. Warrants are exercisable only in the event of a change of control and expire on June 30, 2010. The fair value of warrants issued with respect to notes repaid will be recorded as a discount to debt, at the date of issuance, which will then be amortized using the effective interest method. Warrants to purchase common stock of the Company will be issued only upon a change in control of the Company. The lender under this agreement is a limited partnership of which the chairman of the Company’s board of directors serves as the sole general partner. A total of 455,184 warrants are issuable upon a change in control for previous debt repayments under this facility. The Company has issued 4,219 warrants as of December 13, 2006. As of December 13, 2006, the Company had $1,861,000 of borrowings outstanding under the facility and $3,139,000 available for borrowing at that date. On December 22, 2006, the Company borrowed an additional amount of $1,000,000 under this facility.

On June 30, 2004, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Contingent Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) which revised the definition of “Availability” to mean, on any date, the loan amount less the sum of the principal amounts then outstanding under the Note Purchase Agreement. Under the original Note Purchase Agreement, availability was calculated using a formula that reduced availability over time.

Covenant as of March 8, 2006 and removes the Minimum EBITDA from the Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) clarifies that warrants to purchase common stock of the Company will be issued with respect to repaid principal amounts only upon a change in control of the Company; (iii) increases the interest rate applicable to outstanding amounts under the credit facility by 2%, to LIBOR plus 5.30%; and (iv) extended the exercise date of all warrants issued or to be issued under the Note Purchase Agreement by one year, to May 10, 2009, which was subsequently extended as discussed below. The maturity date for any notes issued in the future was unaffected by Amendment No. 2. As of December 13, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all agreement covenants as amended by Amendment No 2.

Based on the terms of our credit agreements, as amended, our management’s expectations that the transaction to exit the company operated Diedrich and Coffee People retail locations will be completed, the focus on growing the wholesale and franchise business segments, the status of our balance sheet and the overall business outlook for us and the specialty coffee market, our management believes that cash from ongoing operations, the anticipated proceeds from the sale transaction and funds available to us from our current credit agreements will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital needs at the anticipated operating levels for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the extent and timing of the rate at which our business grows, if at all, with corresponding demands for working capital. We may be required to seek additional funding through either debt financing, or public or equity, or a combination of funding methods to meet our capital requirements and sustain our operations. However, additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Other Commitments. The following represents a comprehensive list of our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 13, 2006:


	Payments Due By Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
	(In thousands)

	$	48,531	$	10,751	$	13,955	$	9,855	$	13,970

As of December 13, 2006, there were employment agreements with two of our officers that provide for severance payments in the event that these individuals are terminated by us without cause or they terminate their employment as a result of a constructive termination. These severance payments range from six months to one year’s salary. Our maximum theoretical liability for severance under the contracts is currently $368,000. Because these amounts are contingent, they have not been included in the table above.

As reflected in the table above, we have obligations under non-cancelable operating leases for our coffee houses, roasting facility and administrative offices. Lease terms are generally for periods of 10 to 20 years with renewal options, and generally require us to pay a proportionate share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area, and other operating costs. Some retail leases provide for contingent rental payments based on sales thresholds. In addition, we are liable on the master real property leases for 74 Gloria Jean’s franchise locations. Under our franchising business model, from time to time we execute the master lease for a location and enter into subleases on the same terms with our franchisees, which typically pay their rent directly to the landlords. If any of these franchisees default on their subleases, we would be required to make all payments under the master lease. Our maximum theoretical future exposure at December 13, 2006, computed as the sum of all remaining lease payments through the expiration dates of the respective leases, was $18,124,000. This amount does not take into consideration any mitigating measures that we could take to reduce this exposure in the event of default; including re-leasing the location or terminating the master lease by negotiating a lump sum payment to the landlord in an amount that is less than the sum of all remaining future rents.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Accounts significantly impacted by estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, franchise receivables, allowance for bad debt reserves, fixed asset lives, goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, self-insurance and workers’ compensation reserves, store closure reserves, stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets and contingencies. We believe that the following represent the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The following discussion, however, does not list all of our accounting policies and estimates.

Impairment of Property and Equipment and Other Amortizable Long-Lived Assets Held and Used

Each quarter, we evaluate the carrying value of individual stores when the operating results have reasonably progressed to a point to adequately evaluate the probability of continuing operating losses or a current expectation that a store will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. In making these judgments, we consider the period of time since the store was opened or remodeled, and the trend of operations and expectations for future sales growth. For stores selected for review, we estimate the future estimated cash flows from operating the store over its estimated useful life. We make judgments about future same-store sales and the operating expenses and estimated useful life that we would expect with such level of same-store sales.

The most significant assumptions in our analysis are those used when we estimate a unit’s future cash flows. We generally use the assumptions in our strategic plan and modify them as necessary based on unit specific information. If our assumptions are incorrect, the carrying value of our operating unit assets may be overstated or understated.

Impairment of Goodwill

At the reporting unit level, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. We consider the reporting unit level to be the segment level since the components within each segment have similar economic characteristics, including products and services, production processes, types or classes of customers and distribution methods. The impairment, if any, is measured based on the estimated fair value of the segment. Fair value can be determined based on discounted cash flows or valuations of similar businesses. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value.

The most significant assumptions we use in this analysis are those made in estimating future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, we consider historical results as well as the assumptions utilized in our strategic plan for items such as same-store sales, store count growth rates, and the discount rate we consider being the market discount rate used for acquisitions of similar businesses.

If our assumptions used in performing the impairment test prove inaccurate, the fair value of the segments may ultimately prove to be significantly lower, thereby causing the carrying value to exceed the fair value and indicating impairment has

occurred. If our assumptions are incorrect, the carrying value of our goodwill may be understated or overstated. Our annual impairment measurement date is our fiscal year-end.

Estimated Liability for Closing Stores

We make decisions to close stores based on prospects for estimated future profitability and sometimes we are forced to close stores due to circumstances beyond our control (for example, a landlord’s refusal to negotiate a new lease). Our management team evaluates each store’s performance every period. When stores continue to perform poorly, we consider the demographics of the location, as well as the likelihood of being able to improve the performance of an unprofitable store. Based on management’s judgment, we estimate the future cash flows. If we determine that the store will not, within a reasonable period of time, operate at break-even cash flow or be profitable, and we are not contractually obligated to continue operating the store, we may close the store. Additionally, franchisees may close stores for which we are the primary lessee. If the franchisee cannot make payments on the lease, we continue making the lease payments and establish an estimated liability for the closed store if we decide not to operate it as a company operated store. Effective January 1, 2003, we establish the estimated liability on the actual closure date or cancellation as per contract as required by SFAS 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.”

The estimated liability for closing stores on properties vacated is generally based on the term of the lease and the lease termination fee we expect to pay, as well as estimated maintenance costs until the lease has been abated. The amount of the estimated liability established is generally the present value of these estimated future payments. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of these liabilities is based on our incremental borrowing rate at the time the liability is established. The related discount is amortized and shown in the provision for asset impairment and restructuring costs, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

A significant assumption used in determining the amount of the estimated liability for closing stores is the amount of the estimated liability for future lease payments on vacant stores, which we determine based on our assessment of our ability to successfully negotiate early terminations of our lease agreements with the lessors or to sublease the property. Additionally, we estimate the cost to maintain leased and owned vacant properties until the lease has been abated. If the costs to maintain properties increase or it takes longer than anticipated to sell properties or sublease or terminate leases, we may need to record additional estimated liabilities. If the leases on the vacant stores are not terminated or subleased on the terms we used to estimate the liabilities, we may be required to record losses in future periods. Conversely, if the leases on the vacant stores are terminated or subleased on more favorable terms than we used to estimate the liabilities, we reverse previously established estimated liabilities, resulting in an increase in operating income.

Estimated Liability for Self-Insurance

Effective October 1, 2003, we became self-insured for a portion of our current year’s losses related to workers’ compensation insurance. We have obtained stop loss insurance for individual workers’ compensation claims with a $250,000 deductible per occurrence and a program maximum for all claims of $750,000. Insurance liabilities and reserves are accounted for based on actuarial estimates of the amount of incurred and unpaid losses. These estimates rely on actuarial observations of historical claim loss development. The actuary, in determining the estimated liability, bases the assumptions on the average historical losses on claims we have incurred. The actual loss development may be better or worse than the development we estimated in conjunction with the actuary. In that event, we will modify the reserve. As such, if we experience a higher than expected number of claims or the costs of claims rise more than expected, then we may, in conjunction with the actuary, adjust the expected losses upward and our future self-insurance expenses will rise.

Franchised Operations

We monitor the financial condition of our franchisees and record provisions for estimated losses on receivables when we believe that our franchisees are unable to make their required payments to us. Each period we perform an analysis to develop estimated bad debts for each franchisee. We then compare the aggregate result of that analysis to the amount recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as the allowance for doubtful accounts and adjust the allowance as appropriate. Over time, our assessment of individual franchisees may change. For instance, in the past, we have had some franchisees which we had determined required an estimated loss equal to the total amount of the receivable, but which have paid us in full or established a consistent record of payments (generally one year) such that we subsequently determined that an allowance was no longer required.

Depending on the facts and circumstances, there are a number of different actions we and/or our franchisees may take to resolve franchise collections issues. These actions may include the purchase of franchise stores by us or by other franchisees, a modification to the franchise agreement, which may include a provision to defer certain royalty payments or reduce royalty

rates in the future, a restructuring of the franchisee’s business and/or finances (including the restructuring of leases for which we are the primary or secondary obligee), or, if necessary, the termination of the franchise agreement. The allowance is based on our assessment of the most probable course of action that will occur.

In accordance with SFAS 146, which we adopted on January 1, 2003, an estimated liability for future lease obligations on stores operated by franchisees for which we are the primary or secondary obligee is established on the date the franchisee closes the store. Also, we record an estimated liability for subsidized lease payments when we sign a sublease agreement committing us to the subsidy.

The amount of the estimated liability is established using the methodology described above under the heading “Estimated Liability for Closing Stores.” Consistent with SFAS 146, we have not established an additional estimated liability for potential losses not yet incurred. If sales trends or economic conditions worsen for our franchisees, their financial health may worsen, our collection rates may decline and we may be required to assume the responsibility for additional lease payments on franchised stores. Entering into restructured franchise agreements may result in reduced franchise royalty rates in the future.

Stock-Based Compensation

As discussed in the notes to consolidated financial statements, we have various stock-based compensation plans that provide options for certain employees and outside directors to purchase common shares of stock. Prior to June 30, 2005, we elected to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” which utilizes the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, as opposed to using the fair-value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Because of this election, we were required to make certain disclosures of pro forma net income assuming we had adopted SFAS No. 123. Starting June 30, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, which sets accounting requirements for “share-based” compensation to employees and non-employee directors, including employee stock purchase plans, and requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation.

We determine the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires us to apply highly subjective assumptions, including our historical stock price volatility, expected life of the option and the risk-free interest rate. A change in one or more of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model may result in a material change to the estimated fair value of the stock-based compensation.

Valuation Allowance for Net Deferred Tax Assets

As discussed above, we have recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. If we become profitable for a number of years and our prospects for the realization of our deferred tax assets are more likely than not, we would expect to reverse our valuation allowance and credit income tax expense. In analyzing the prospects for future profitability, many of the assessments of same-store sales and cash flows discussed above become relevant. When circumstances warrant, we assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized from future taxable income. As of December 13, 2006, our net deferred tax assets were fully reserved with a related valuation allowance that totaled approximately $6,563,000.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market Risk Sensitive Items Entered Into for Trading Purposes

None.

Market Risk Sensitive Items Entered Into for Other Than Trading Purposes

Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on our outstanding debt. At December 13, 2006, we had a $5,000,000 loan facility, with $1,861,000 outstanding balance that could be affected by changes in short term interest rates. We pay interest on our facility at a three-month LIBOR plus 5.30%. Three month LIBOR rates ranged from 5.35% to 5.38% during our second fiscal quarter. At December 13, 2006, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the adjusted rates would result in additional interest expense of $19,000 on an annualized basis.

Commodity Price Risk. The supply and price of green coffee, the principal raw material for our products, are subject to significant volatility. Although most coffee trades in the commodity market, coffee of the quality that we seek tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial premium above commodity coffee prices, depending upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase. Supply and price can be affected by a number of factors in the producing countries, including weather, political and economic conditions. In addition, green coffee prices have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by the actions of certain organizations and associations that have historically attempted to influence commodity prices of green coffee through agreements establishing export quotas or restricting coffee supplies worldwide.

To date, we have not used commodity based financial instruments to hedge against fluctuations in the price of coffee. To ensure that we have an adequate supply of coffee, however, we enter into agreements to purchase green coffee in the future that may or may not be fixed as to price. As of December 13, 2006, we had commitments to purchase coffee totaling $1,553,000 for 972,000 pounds of green coffee, some of which commitments were fixed as to price. Most of these commitments are for fiscal year 2007. The coffee scheduled to be delivered to us in the next twelve months pursuant to these commitments will satisfy approximately 26% of our anticipated green coffee requirements for the next twelve months. Assuming we require approximately 3,607,000 additional pounds of green coffee during the next twelve months for which no price has yet been fixed, each $0.01 per pound increase in the price of green coffee could result in approximately $36,000 of additional cost. However, because the price we pay for green coffee is negotiated with suppliers, we believe that the commodity market price for green coffee would have to increase significantly, by as much as $0.25 per pound, before suppliers would increase the price they charge us.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b) There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
