Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2009 and 2008

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. We have continued to follow the accounting policies disclosed in the financial statements included in our 2008 Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2008 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The interim financial information in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of our results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

Segment Reporting

The Company discloses the products and services it provides, the material countries in which it holds assets and reports revenues and its major customers. See Note 12

Income Taxes

The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. As such, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basses. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.

A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

8. Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Companys deferred tax assets consist of the
benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and temporary differences. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2027. The Companys deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the
uncertainty of the realization of the net operation loss carryforwards. Net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.

The Companys deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance as of September 30, 2009 are as follows:



|                   |  |                                                     |         |             |      |                 |   |                    |  |   |                             |   |  |                |         |   |  |   |

(the Company). Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of various risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from expectations, estimates or forecasts expressed. These various risks and

continuing competition within the Companys businesses, variances from budgeted sales mix and growth rate, consumer acceptance of the Companys products, inability to secure adequate capital to fund its operating expenses and working
capital requirements, inability to hire, train and retain qualified personnel, concentration of production and sales in Northern California, the loss of one or more major customers, inability to successfully implement the Companys sales goals,
natural disasters, civil unrest in countries which produce coffee and tea, weather and other risks identified herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Companys forward-looking statements should also be considered in light of its reviewed financial statements, related notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report and in its
other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the Companys actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. The Company
assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

SUMMARY

Sales of the Company have eroded over the last five years primarily due to declines in the direct distribution sales method of the Companys business (i.e., delivery by company truck). Increased
competition, customer attrition and customers roasting green beans for their own use have all had a negative impact on the Companys sales. The Company has tried a number of strategies that have not proven effective in abating these declines.
The Company has changed its method of distribution to rely less on direct distribution (with only two routes) and instead uses independent distributors or shipping direct (via UPS or other common carrier). The effect of these changes on the
Companys sales has been limited but has reduced distribution expenses. Because of the limited impact of these changes, as well as the increase in cost of sales and other factors noted herein, there can be no assurances that the Company will be
profitable in any future period, and, as a consequence, the Company is considering various strategic alternatives.

The Company pays
substantially more for its green beans than the market price, because of quality, organic nature of many of its lines and the fact that it uses fair-traded coffees. Green bean costs have continued to rise and have placed pressure on margins. If
green bean costs do not decline or continue to rise, whether as a consequence of inclement weather in a major producing area or any other event that affects green bean pricing, and the Company cannot offset costs by raising prices, it would have a
negative impact on the Company and its margins.

The Company has a revolving line of credit for $25,000 of which $500 is currently outstanding
and a term debt facility of $222,134 with the Savings Bank of Mendocino. The term debt is a five-year note due December 1, 2009 and the line of credit is renewed annually. If the credit line or the term debt should not be renewed, the stability
of the Companys business would be in question. See Liquidity and Capital Resources.

##### Table of Contents

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,156,415, down 1.3%, or
over $15,000 when compared with net sales of $1,171,993 for the same period in fiscal 2008.

Distribution revenues (e.g., revenues generated
on the Companys own truck distribution) were down $45,000 or 9% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared with distribution sales for the same period in 2008. The decline was a result of lower sales at retailers in the
Humboldt county region of the Companys business and general decline in sales as no customers were lost.

National revenues (e.g.,
revenues not derived by mail order and direct truck distribution) were up $50,000, or 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to national sales for the same period in 2008. The increase is attributed to higher sales for
the Companys distributor in southern California, continued sales growth from its new distributor in the central valley of California and a reopened museum in the bay area.

Mail order revenues (e.g., revenues generated from product sold directly to the consumer either through print media or the Internet) decreased $20,000, or 13% for the three months ended September 30,
2009 when compared to mail order sales for the same period in 2008. The decrease was attributable to a decline in the Cornucopia program through the elimination of some partners and a general slowdown in the Companys online store volume.

Sales of the Companys bakery were flat for the three months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to bakery sales for the same
period in 2008.

Consolidated cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $694,227, down 2.8%, or nearly $20,000
when compared with the cost of sales of $713,981 for the same period in 2008. This decrease was a result of lower wages and benefit costs of $17,000 and lower utility costs of $3,000 and lower food costs at the bakery of $7,000 offset by an increase
in green beans of nearly $7,000.

Consolidated gross margin percentage (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 was 40%, up .9 % when compared with gross margin of 39.1% for the same period in 2008. The increase in gross margin percent was a result of lower costs for the quarter.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $405,585 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of 1.8%, or over
$7,000 when compared with the selling, general and administrative expenses of $412,886 for the same period in 2008. The decrease was a result of a decrease in payments to certain grower co-ops because of a change in their programs and a reduction in
commission expense because of lower sales to some distributors.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 were $27,830, a 4.4% increase, or over $1,000, when compared to depreciation expense of $26,664 for the same period in 2008. The increase was a result of capital expenditures placed into service during the third quarter
of 2009.

Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $8,849, an 18.1% decrease or nearly $2,000
compared with interest expense of $10,792 for the same period in 2008. Total debt is $309,707 at September 30, 2009 versus $410,310 at December 31, 2008.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had a consolidated net profit of $20,906 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of nearly $7,400, or 54.6% when compared to a net
profit of $13,519 for the same period in 2008. Because of the current economic climate, the lack of sustainable sales growth and high green bean costs, their can be no assurances that the Company will be profitable in the future.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2009 versus September 30, 2008:

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $3,372,188, an increase
of over $46,000 or 1.4%, when compared to sales of $3,325,934 for the same period in 2008.

Distribution revenues (e.g., revenues generated on
the Companys own truck distribution) were down $69,000 or 5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. Sales in this segment are lower because of a drop in the Humboldt county region of the
Companys business and a grocery chain that eliminates the Companys products when they remodel existing stores. Sales volume in this segment was effected by the economic downturn as only a small number of customers were lost because of
closing their businesses during this period.

National Revenues (e.g., revenues not derived by mail order and direct truck distribution) were
up $150,000 or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to sales for the same period in 2008. Increases with the distributor in southern California, a new distributor in the central valley of California and the reopening
of a museum in the bay area have all added to this segment of the Companys business.

Mail order revenues (e.g., revenues generated from
product sold directly to the consumer either through print media or the Internet) were down $35,000 or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to sales for the same period in 2008. The decline was attributable to the
reduction of the Cornucopia program through elimination of some partners. The remainder was a slowdown in the Companys online store volume.

Sales of the Companys bakery were flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008.

Consolidated cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $2,022,353 a decrease of nearly $45,000 or 2.2%, when compared with the cost of sales of $2,067,269 for the same period in 2008. The decrease was attributed
to lower costs of production and roasting labor of $60,000, lower utility costs of $15,000 and lower production costs of $15,000. These declines were offset by higher green bean costs of $45,000.

Consolidated gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 40%, up 2.2% when compared with
gross margin of 37.8% for the same period in 2008. The increase in gross margin is attributed to higher sales and lower production costs.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,225,961 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of nearly $88,000 or 6.7%, when compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,313,687
for the same period in 2008. The decreases were attributed to a $16,000 decrease in leasing costs as leases expired, a $17,000 decline in rebates and commissions paid to co-op growing partners and brokers and distributors, a $15,000 reduction in
officers life insurance premiums, a $11,000 reduction in audit fees as the deadline for using an independent accounting firm to audit internal controls for smaller companies was extended, a $10,000 reduction in auto repair and fuel expense, a $5,000
reduction in online catalog expense and a $14,000 reduction in operating supplies.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $76,244 a decline of over $1,500 or 2%, when compared to depreciation and amortization expenses of $77,791 for the same period in 2008. The decrease is a result of few expenditures being placed in
service during the first six months of 2009 and a number of older assets being fully depreciated offset by a number of new assets placed into service in the third quarter of 2009.

Consolidated interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $27,149 a decrease of nearly $4,800 or 15%, when compared to interest expense of $31,927 for the same period in 2008.
Total debt has been reduced by $100,603 since December 31, 2008.

As a result of the forgoing items, the Company had a consolidated net
profit of $14,449 at September 30, 2009 compared to a loss of $157,944 for the same period in 2008. Because of previous periods sales declines, increases in the cost of green beans and the current economic climate, there can be no assurances
that the Company will be profitable in any future periods

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had working capital deficit of ($41,683) versus working capital deficit of ($79,037) as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital deficit is due
primarily to over a $37,000 reduction in current liabilities over current assets. The working capital is negative because the Company has reclassified a note from the Savings Bank of Mendocino of $222,134 from a long term debt to a current liability
because the loan is due in less than twelve months and requires a balloon payment in December of 2009. The Company plans to renew the loan at that time. However, there can be no assurances the Company will be successful in renewing the note.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $134,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to net cash provided by
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 of $41,583. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months of 2009 was primarily a result of the Company earning a profit of $14,449 in 2009 versus
a loss of nearly $158,000 offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

Cash used in investing activities was $33,952 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $85,552 used in investing activities for the same period in 2008. Capital additions for the first nine months of 2009 were $15,000 for customer retail store fixtures $5,000 for brewers and grinders, $4,000 for
production equipment, $6,000 for replacements to Company vehicles and $4,000 for a new POS cash register and quad core computer for the office.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $100,603 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $46,294 during the same period in 2008. The cash used by financing activities in 2009
was a result of paying existing debt while in 2008 over $90,000 of debt was paid which was offset by nearly $44,000 of new debt.

Because of
the increase in net cash provided by operating activities offset by the capital acquisitions and repayment of debt, cash at September 30, 2009 was nearly equal to the cash at January 1, 2009 and was over $38,000 higher than cash of $13,772
at September 30, 2008.

In November 2004, the Company secured a term note with the Savings Bank of Mendocino. This note is amortized over
ten years and is payable in five years with a balloon payment on December 1, 2009 at 2% over prime rate. The rate was 6.5% at September 30, 2009. The note is collateralized by the Companys accounts receivable, inventory, equipment,
instruments, general intangibles and contract rights. This note is personally guaranteed by the Companys majority shareholders. As of September 30, 2009 the balance on the note is $222,134 (See Note 7 of Notes to the Financial Statements)

The Company also has a $25,000 line of credit with the Savings Bank of Mendocino. The credit line is interest only payments renewable
annually at 2% over the prime rate with a minimum rate of 6.5%. The rate was 6.5% at September 30, 2009 with an outstanding balance on the line of $500. The credit line is dated February 13, 2009 and is renewed annually. The credit line is
collateralized by a security interest of first priority in all accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, instruments, general intangibles and contract rights. The line of credit is personally guaranteed by the Companys majority shareholders.
(See Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements)

The Company has an interest-only note for $19,919 and a principal and interest note for $17,100
at September 30, 2009, payable to the majority shareholders, directors and officers, Joan and Paul Katzeff. The interest-only note is at 12%, with balance due on demand after June 30, 1996 and is uncollateralized. The principal and
interest note has a 12% interest rate and is payable in monthly installments of $2,000 plus interest with the balance due on July 15, 2010 and is uncollateralized. (See Note 7 and Note 11 of Notes to Financial Statements)

At September 30, 2009, the Company had total borrowings of $309,707 including $222,634 owing to the Savings Bank of Mendocino. This compares to total
borrowings of $410,310 as of December 31, 2008, including $261,148 outstanding to the Savings Bank of Mendocino.

##### Table of Contents

The Company is dependent on successfully executing its business plan to achieve profitable operations,
obtaining additional sources of borrowings (including normal trade credit) and securing favorable financing arrangements (including lease financing) to finance its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful
in this regard. If the Company is not able to meet its credit obligations the stability of the Companys business would be in question.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, the Company enters into various transactions with its majority shareholders,
Paul and Joan Katzeff. See note

11  Related Party Transactions in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

The Companys business is seasonal in nature. The seasonal availability of green bean coffee in the first two quarters of the year and increased sales in the last quarter historically creates a high use of cash and a build up in
inventories in the first two quarters, with a corresponding decrease in inventory and increase in cash in the last quarter. Because of the seasonality of the Companys business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Furthermore, past seasonal patterns are not necessarily indicative of future results.

INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS

The Companys Bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify its directors, officers, employees
and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by California law. The Company believes that indemnification under its Bylaws also permits the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability
arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether California law would permit indemnification. The Company maintains such liability insurance for its directors and certain officers and employees.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification would be
required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or any proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.



|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The Companys stock is generally illiquid and there have been few trades in recent years. There have been three trades in the Companys Common Stock since 1999. In June 2004, 750 shares were
traded at $4.50 per share. In December 2005, 400 shares were traded at $2.00 per share.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

An evaluation
was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures as of September 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
were effective. There have been no changes in the Companys Disclosure controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect the Companys internal controls over
financial reporting.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The Company has concerns
regarding the current economic situation. The United States and the global economy is experiencing severe instability in the commercial and investment banking systems which is likely to continue to have far-reaching effects on the economic activity
in the country for an indeterminable period. The long-term impact on the United States economy and the Companys operating activities and ability to raise capital cannot be predicted at this time, but may be substantial.

Our coffee roasting facility is subject to state and local air-quality and emissions regulations. If we encounter difficulties in obtaining any necessary
licenses or complying with these laws and regulations, our ability to produce any of our roasted products would be severely limited. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with all such laws and regulations and we have
obtained all material licenses that are required for the operation of our business. We are not aware of any environmental regulations that have or that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our operations.
