COFFEE PEOPLE REPORTS ONE-TIME CHARGE, LOSS IN
SECOND QUARTER ON 63 PERCENT INCREASE IN REVENUE
PORTLAND, OREGON... July 31, 1997 --- Coffee People, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOKA), a
specialty retailer and operator of coffee houses, today reported a net loss of
$6.1 million, or $1.87 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, including
a $5.5 million charge to provide for store closures outside its major Oregon and
Arizona markets and related restructuring.
Revenue for the quarter rose a strong 63 percent to $4.9 million from
$3.0 million in the comparable 1996 period. Higher costs and expenses related to
new stores, and the one-time charge for store closures and restructuring,
contributed to the loss for the quarter. The per share effect of the one-time
charge was $1.70 and provides for the closing or sale of seven company stores --
two in Denver, two in Chicago and three in southern California. The company
reported net income of $67,000, or $0.03 per share, for the prior year quarter.
"We are extremely disappointed with the overall sales performance of
these seven stores," said Taylor H. Devine, president and chief executive
officer. "Sales in our new markets have not built as fast as anticipated and
operations outside Oregon and Arizona are not profitable. As a result, we are
taking decisive action now in order to return the company to profitability as
quickly as possible."
Coffee People intends to make substantial reductions in its general and
administrative overhead and to evaluate a number of strategic alternatives to
return the company to profitability and maximize shareholder value. As part of
this effort, the company has retained Black & Company to advise it on a full
range of potential actions including strategic acquisitions and the merger or
sale of the company.

"We have a strong base from which to move forward in re-evaluating our
growth strategy," Devine said. "The majority of our stores -- 25 in Oregon and
15 in Arizona -- continue to perform well and are not areas of concern. We
reached a record $2 million in sales for the month of June 1997 and 94 percent
of that amount came from the 40 stores in Oregon and Arizona."
The revenue growth in the second quarter was a combination of improved
same-store sales and contribution from new stores opened and acquired since the
1996 second quarter. Much of the higher revenue -- $952,000 or approximately 50
percent -- was attributable to the 15 Coffee Plantation stores acquired on May
21, 1997 and represented only six weeks of operation. Second quarter revenues
also benefited from 14 new stores opened since September 1996. These stores,
seven of which are in Oregon, added 46 percent of the $1.9 million increase.
Comparable store sales for the 19 stores open for the full second quarter of
both 1997 and 1996 grew 2.8 percent.
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues were $8.1 million, up
from $5.9 million in the comparable 1996 period. The net loss of $6.2 million,
or $1.93 per share, declined from net income of $133,000, or $0.07 per share, a
year ago.
Coffee People has been in business since 1983 and currently operates 47
outlets in five markets, Oregon, southern California, Denver, Chicago, and
Phoenix/Tucson. The company's coffee houses, drive through Motor Mokas(R) and
Aero Moka(R) kiosks at Portland International Airport feature a menu of more
than 200 coffee drinks, shakes, pastries, and coffee-related products.
