Notes to Financial Statements

March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008



|1. | Basis of Presentation
|-- | ---------------------

The unaudited 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 SEC.

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 three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative
of results to be expected for the full year.

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, changed the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their financial statements. It also requires
entity-wide disclosures about the products and services an entity 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 prescribed by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. 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.

|Less: allowance for doubtful accounts |  |           | (5,540  | ) |            |   | (6,176  | )
|                                      |  |           |         |   |            |   |         |

The Company utilizes a percentage method to establish the allowance for doubtful accounts. The estimated allowance
ranges from 1% to 10% of outstanding receivables based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible.
Bad debt expense (recovery) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $81 and $1,214 respectively.

Based on current borrowing rates, the fair value of the notes payable and capital lease obligations approximate
their carrying amounts.



|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 2028. 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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as believe,
anticipate, expect, intend, plan, will, may, and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of
future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These statements relate to, among other things, possible expansions into new and existing markets and trends in the operations of Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Inc. (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 uncertainties
include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions, changes in business conditions in the coffee industry, fluctuations in consumer demand for coffee products and in the availability and costs of green beans, 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 $13,000 is currently outstanding and a term debt facility of $238,895 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 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 March 31, 2009 were $1,079,650, up 3.3%, or over $34,000 when
compared with net sales of $1,045,072 for the same period in fiscal 2008.

Distribution revenues (e.g., revenues generated on the Companys own truck
distribution) were down $15,000 or 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, when compared with distribution sales for the same period in 2008. The decline appears to be a result of slower volume at existing customers as no customers have
been lost. It is also a result of lower sales to a grocery chain in California that eliminates the Companys products when they remodel existing stores.

National revenues (e.g., revenues not derived by mail order and direct truck distribution) were up $50,000, or 14% for the three months ended March 31, 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, a new distributor in the central valley of California and the addition of a new 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 $2,500, or 5% for the
three months ended March 31, 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 slowdown in the Companys
online store volume.

Sales of the Companys bakery were up $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 when compared to bakery sales for
the same period in 2008.

Consolidated cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $650,025, up 3.2%, or over $20,000 when compared
with the cost of sales of $629,920 for the same period in 2008. This increase was a result of an increase in green bean costs of nearly $23,000.

Consolidated gross margin percentage (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 39.79%, up .07 percentage points when compared with gross margin of 39.72% for the same period in 2008.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $427,356 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of 4.8% or over $21,000
when compared with the selling, general and administrative expenses of $449,112 for the same period in 2008. The decrease was a result of lower wages of $5,000 and a reduction of travel expense of $17,000 because there was no promotional tour of
interfaith groups in the United States as there was last year for the Mirembe Kowamera program.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expenses for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $25,582, a 1% decrease, or $264, when compared to depreciation expense of $25,846 for the same period in 2008.

Consolidated interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $9,354, a 9.2% decrease or nearly $1,000 compared with interest expense of $10,296 for the same period in 2008. Total debt is $377,046 at March 31, 2009
versus $410,310 at December 31, 2008.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had a consolidated net loss of $35,801 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009, compared to a loss of $73,312 for the same period in 2008. Because of the increases in the cost of green beans, there can be no assurances that the Company will be profitable in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had working capital deficit of ($102,011) versus working capital deficit of ($79,037) as of December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital is due primarily to the
increase in accrued liabilities of nearly $50,000 offset somewhat by a decrease in accounts payable of nearly $20,000. The working capital is a negative amount because the Company has reclassified a note from the Savings Bank of Mendocino of
$238,895 to a current liability from long term debt 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 $79,368 for the three months ended March 31, 2009
compared to net cash used by operating activities of $9,949 during the same period in 2008. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the three months of 2009 was the result of a reduced loss of over $37,000, a larger decline in
inventory, receivables and prepaid expenses of over $13,000 and an increase in accrued liabilities of nearly $50,000.

Cash used in investing activities
was $5,085 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $25,037 used in the same period in 2008. Capital additions for the first three months of 2009 were for brewers and grinders.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $33,264 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $27,543 during the
same period in 2008. The cash used by financing was a result of paying existing debt.

Because of the cash provided by operating activities, capital
acquisitions and repayment of debt, cash at March 31, 2009 increased over $41,000 from the cash balance at January 1, 2009 and was over $51,000 higher than cash at March 31, 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 6.50% at March 31, 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 March 31, 2009, the balance on the note is $238,895 (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 6.50% at March 31, 2009 with an outstanding balance on the line of $13,000. 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 $29,100 at March 31, 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 is at 12% 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 March 31, 2009, the
Company had total borrowings of $377,046 including $251,895 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 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
March 31, 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 first 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
|-------- | ------------

We have 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.
