                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tully's Coffee
Corporation ("Tully's" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Spinelli Coffee Company, after elimination of all significant intercompany items
and transactions.

    The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to March 31. Fiscal
year 2000 included 53 weeks. The fiscal year ending on April 1, 2001 will
include 52 weeks.

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth
therein. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Results of operations for
the 13 and 26-month periods ended October 1, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of future financial results.

    Investors should read these interim statements in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year
ended April 2, 2000 included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, SEC
File No. 0-26829.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
pronouncement will require the Company to recognize certain derivatives on its
balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives that
qualify as cash flow hedges will be recognized in comprehensive income until the
hedged item is recognized in earnings. Tully's expects that this new standard
will not have a significant effect on its results of operations. SFAS 133 was
amended by SFAS 137, deferring the effective date of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, SFAS 138 was issued, which amends provisions
of SFAS 133. SFAS 138 will be implemented by the company concurrently with
SFAS 133.

    In April 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation--an
Interpretation of APB 25." The interpretation clarifies the application of APB
25 for certain issues, such as the definition of "employee" for purposes of
Opinion 25, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of
a fixed stock option plan, and criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies
as a noncompensatory plan. The Company has reviewed the interpretation and does
not believe it has a material impact on the accounting treatment of its previous
stock-based compensation transactions. The Company will consider the
interpretation within the accounting treatment of future stock-based
compensation transactions.

</TABLE>

3.  DEBT

    On June 15, 2000, the Company signed a new line-of-credit agreement for an
available amount of $6.0 million at substantially the same terms as the previous
agreement, which matured on June 30, 2000. The new agreement matures on July 1,
2001.

    $6.0 million was outstanding under this line of credit at October 1, 2000.
The interest rate on this line of credit is prime plus 1/2 percent and was at
10.0% at October 1, 2000. This line is secured by the assets of the Company, and
has been guaranteed by the Company's chief executive officer and by a director.
The outstanding balance on this bank line is due on July 1, 2001.

4.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

    In May 2000, the Company commenced a Series B Preferred Stock accredited
investor financing to raise up to $20 million in equity capital. The Series B
Preferred Stock is junior in liquidation preference to the Company's Series A
Preferred Stock and to a stated dollar amount of liquidation preference for the
holders of the common stock. As of November 14, 2000, the Company had received
aggregate proceeds of $12.1 million related to this offering. The Company
expects to complete this offering later in the quarter ending December 31, 2000.

WARRANTS

    As a part of the sale of Investment Units during the 26-week period ended
September 26, 1999, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,775,391 shares of
common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The exercise price of the
warrants at the date of issuance was below the fair market value of the common
stock and is therefore considered an "in the money" or beneficial conversion
feature. Accounting for the issuance of convertible preferred stock with a
nondetachable beneficial conversion feature at the date of issue requires that
the conversion feature be recognized and measured in the financial statements by
allocating a portion of the preferred stock offering proceeds to additional
paid-in capital. The discount resulting from the allocation of the proceeds to
the beneficial conversion feature is analogous to a dividend and is recognized
as a return to preferred shareholders from the date of issuance through the date
the warrants are exercisable.

    As a result of the aforementioned accounting, the Company allocated
$7.2 million of the Series A Preferred Stock proceeds to additional paid in
capital during the 26 week period ended September 26, 1999. As the warrants were
exercisable upon issuance, the entire allocation was recognized as a preferred
dividend through a charge to retained earnings and a credit to preferred stock
during the period. The weighted-average fair value of the warrants on the date
of grant was $1.92 per share of common stock.

                                       7

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

    As of October 1, 2000 the Company had fixed price inventory purchase
commitments for green coffee totaling approximately $945,000. The Company
believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers in the past,
that the risk of loss on non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.
Such contracts are generally short-term in nature and the Company believes that
their cost approximates fair market value.

    In connection with the Series B Preferred Stock offering, the Company has
entered into an agreement to provide a placement fee to the placement agents.
The fee is to be calculated at 10% of the first $10 million of proceeds from the
offering and 8% of any subsequent proceeds. The fee is due in equal amounts of
cash and warrants to purchase common stock. The exercise price of the warrants
will be $.01 per share. As of October 1, 2000, $500,000 has been paid to the
placement agents and an additional $615,000 has been accrued.

NEW STORE LEASES

    As of October 1, 2000 the Company had entered into 38 leases for stores that
had not yet been opened. These lease agreements are similar in nature to the
Company's existing lease agreements. Annual rent expense under these leases will
be approximately $1.8 million.

6.  SEGMENT REPORTING

    The Company presents segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which
established reporting and disclosure standards for an enterprise's operating
segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for
which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the
Company's senior management.

    The Company is organized into a number of business units. The Company's
retail store operations comprise 82% of total revenues. The remainder of the
Company's revenues is generated from the wholesale sales to domestic and foreign
customers. Operating income/(loss) represents earnings before interest income
and expense. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported, since the
Company does not produce such information internally.

7.  LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

    Basic loss per common share has been calculated based on the
weighted--average common shares of 15,631,789 and 14,340,828 for the 13 weeks
ended October 1, 2000 and September 26, 1999, respectively. The Company had a
net loss for all periods presented herein; therefore none of the options,
warrants and convertible preferred stock outstanding during the periods
presented were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they
were antidilutive. See note 4 for discussion of preferred stock
dividend/accretion applicable to common stockholders.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    Subsequent to October 1, 2000 the Company entered into an agreement that
contemplates the purchase of 10 retail locations from another company. These
locations are all within the greater Portland, Oregon area. Consummation of this
transaction is contingent upon the Company's completion, to its satisfaction, of
it's due diligence review of the other company and of the proposed transaction.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS

    We believe that certain statements herein, including anticipated store
openings, planned capital expenditures, projected goodwill amortization and
trends in or expectations regarding the Company's operations, constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on currently available
operating, financial and competitive information, and are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual future results and trends may differ materially depending
on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, coffee and other raw
materials prices and availability, successful execution of internal performance
and expansion plans, the impact of competition, the effect of legal proceedings,
and other risks detailed herein and in the Company's annual and quarterly
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                       9
<PAGE>
    The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements. This analysis is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and
Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for
projections of future events.

OVERVIEW

    The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to March 31. Fiscal
year 2000 included 53 weeks. The fiscal year ending on April 1, 2001 will
include 52 weeks.

    For the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000, Tully's derived approximately 82% of
net revenues from sales in its Company-operated retail stores. Specialty sales,
which consist of product sales to wholesale customers, office coffee service,
direct mail order sales and royalty and licensing fees from licensed stores,
accounted for the remaining 18% of net sales.

    In May 2000 the Company commenced a Series B accredited investor financing
to raise up to $20 million in equity capital. As of November 14, 2000, the
Company had received aggregate proceeds of $12.1 million. The Company
anticipates it will receive $7.9 million additional funding prior to
December 31, 2000.

    The Company's cash flow from operations is not sufficient to cover operating
expenses and the Company has not made a profit from operations in any year since
inception. The Company has historically funded its cash flow shortfalls through
the issuance of equity securities and through borrowings.

    The Company expects to move toward profitability as it consolidates its
Seattle and San Francisco roasting operations, new packaging equipment comes
on-line and distribution and warehouse operations are brought in-house. In
addition, the Company expects to continue to leverage its general and
administrative costs and to see the benefits from its recent elimination of
duplicate general and administrative costs in its San Francisco operation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARING THE 13 WEEK PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1999

REVENUES

    Net revenues for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000 increased 41% to
$9.6 million from $6.8 million for the corresponding period in fiscal year 2000.
Retail sales increased 40% to $8.0 million from $5.7 million due primarily to
the opening of new retail stores within the last year. During the 13 weeks ended
October 1, 2000, the Company opened ten new stores. The Company ended the period
with 88 Company-operated stores in the United States compared to 59 at
September 26, 1999. The increase in retail sales was also driven, to a lesser
extent, by an increase in comparable store sales of 8%. Comparable stores are
stores open for the full period in the prior year. The comparable store sales
increase is primarily the result of an increase in the average transaction price
for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000.

    Specialty sales increased 58% to $1.6 million for the 13 weeks ended
October 1, 2000, compared to $1 million for the corresponding period in fiscal
year 2000. Specialty sales growth was driven primarily by an increase in sales
to wholesale and coffee service accounts and, to a lesser extent by an increase
in sales to licensees.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    Costs of sales and related occupancy expense for the 13 weeks ended
October 1, 2000 increased to $5.2 million from $3.2 million for the same period
last year. This increase was primarily due to operating 29 more stores during
the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000, compared to the same period in

                                       10
<PAGE>
the prior year and, to a lesser extent, to specialty revenue growth from
wholesale and international product sales. As a percentage of net revenues, cost
of sales and related occupancy expense increased to 53.7% for the 13 weeks ended
October 1, 2000 from 47.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2000. This change
was due to price increases in paper products and, to a lesser extent, to
increased sales of lower margin non-coffee products and fixtures to licensees
and higher occupancy costs.

    Selling, general and administrative costs for the 13 weeks ended October 1,
2000 increased to $5.8 million from $4.1 million for the same period last year.
As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative costs
decreased to 60.5% for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000 compared to 61.0% for
the same period last year. This decrease was due to a reduction in the rate of
growth of personnel in the general and administrative and corporate office
functions as compared to the prior year.

    Stock option compensation expense is a noncash charge representing the
difference between the exercise price and fair market value of stock at the date
of grant for options granted to employees. Stock option compensation expense
decreased to $28,000 for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000 from $115,000 in the
same period last year. Fewer options were issued during the 13 weeks ended
October 1, 2000 as compared to in the corresponding 13 weeks in the prior year.

    Depreciation and amortization for the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000 was
$981,000 compared to $588,000 for the comparable period last year. This increase
is a result of fixed asset additions related to the 29 additional stores
operated during the current period in addition to depreciation on fixed asset
additions in our new corporate headquarters and roastery. As a percentage of net
revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 10.2% for the 13 week
period ended October 1, 2000 compared to 8.7% in the similar period ended
September 26, 1999.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME)

    Other expenses, net, increased to $324,000 for the 13-week period ended
October 1, 2000 compared to $165,000 for the same period in the prior year. This
increase is due primarily to increased interest expense and loan guarantee fees
on the line of credit.

NET LOSS

    For the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2000, net operating loss was $2.7 million
an increase of $1.3 million from $1.4 million for the 13 weeks ended
September 26, 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margins decreased by
7.4%, depreciation and amortization increased by 1.5% and other expenses, net,
increased by 1.0%. These changes were partially offset by decreases in selling,
general and administrative expense of 1.5% and stock option compensation expense
of 1.4%. Net loss applicable to common stockholders, which includes preferred
stock dividend/accretion, was unchanged. Net loss applicable to common
stockholders decreased to $0.17 per share compared to $0.19 for the same period
last year. This decrease is attributable to the increase in operating loss
offset by the non-cash and non-operating costs associated with the beneficial
conversion feature attached to the warrants that were issued as part of the
Series A Preferred Stock offering in the 13 week period ended September 26,
1999.

COMPARING THE 26 WEEK PERIODS ENDED OCTOBER 1, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 26, 1999

REVENUES

    Net revenues for the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000, increased 43% to
$18.4 million from $12.9 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 1999.
Retail sales increased 37% to $15.1 million from $11 million due primarily to
operating 31 more retail stores for all or part of the comparable periods.
Retail sales increases were affected to a lesser extent by an increase in
comparable store sales

                                       11
<PAGE>
(stores open 26 weeks or longer during both periods) of 7%. The comparable store
sales increase is the result of an increase in the average transaction price for
the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000. During the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000,
the Company opened 23 new stores. The Company ended the period with 88
Company-operated stores in the United States compared to 59 at September 26,
1999.

    Specialty sales revenues increased 80% to $3.3 million for the 26 weeks
ended October 1, 2000, compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding period in
fiscal year 1999. Specialty sales growth was driven primarily by higher sales to
wholesale and coffee service accounts driven by the Company's sales efforts and,
to a lesser extent, by increased sales to licensees.

COSTS & EXPENSES

    Cost of goods sold and related occupancy expense for the 26 weeks ended
October 1, 2000 increased to $9.8 million from $6.1 million for the same period
last year. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold and related
occupancy expense were 53.1% for the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000 and 47.7%
for the corresponding period of fiscal 1999. This change was due to price
increases in paper products and, to a lesser extent, to increased sales of lower
margin non-coffee products and fixtures to licensees and higher occupancy costs.

    Selling, general and administrative costs for the 26 weeks ended October 1,
2000 increased to $11.7 million from $7.7 million for the same period last year.
As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative costs increased to
63.4% compared to 60.2% for the same period last year. This increase as a
percentage of net sales is due to higher marketing costs together with planned
investment in additional infrastructure.

    Stock option compensation expense is a noncash charge representing the
difference between the exercise price and fair market value of stock at the date
of grant for options granted to employees. Stock option compensation expense
decreased to $128,000 for the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000 from $320,000 in
the same period last year. Fewer of these options vested during the 26 weeks
ended October 1, 2000 than in the corresponding 26 weeks in the prior year.

    Depreciation and amortization for the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000 was
$1.9 million compared to $1.1 million for the comparable period last year. This
increase is a result of fixed asset additions related to the 31 additional
stores operated during the current period in addition to depreciation on fixed
asset additions in our new corporate headquarters and roastery. As a percentage
of net revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 10.0% for the 26
week period ended October 1, 2000 compared to 8.9% in the similar period ended
September 26, 1999.

INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME)

    Other expenses, net, increased to $551,000 for the 26-week period ended
October 1, 2000 compared to $424,000 for the same period in the prior year. This
increase is due primarily to increased interest expense and loan guarantee fees
on the line of credit.

NET LOSS

    For the 26 weeks ended October 1, 2000, net operating loss was $5.6 million
an increase of $2.7 million from $2.9 million for the 26 weeks ended
September 26, 1999. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margins decreased by
6.0%, selling, general and administrative expense increased by 2.7%, and
depreciation and amortization increased by 1.1%. These changes were offset by
decreases in stock option compensation expense of 1.8% and other expenses, net,
0.3%. Net loss applicable to common stockholders, which includes preferred stock
dividend/accretion, decreased to $5.6 million from $10.1 million for the 26
weeks ended October 1, 2000 and the 26 weeks ended September 26, 1999. The 26
week period ended October 1, 2000 included no preferred stock dividend/accretion
due to the

                                       12
<PAGE>
conclusion of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock Offering during fiscal
1999. Net loss applicable to common stockholders decreased to $0.36 per share
compared to $0.71 for the same period last year. This decrease is attributable
to the increase in operating loss offset by the non-cash and non-operating costs
associated with the beneficial conversion feature attached to the warrants that
were issued as part of the Series A Preferred Stock offering in the 26 week
period ended September 26, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company ended the period with $683,000 in cash and cash equivalents with
negative working capital of $755,000. Negative working capital is the result of
current liabilities in excess of current assets. Cash and cash equivalents
decreased by $4.4 million during the 26-week period ended October 1, 2000. The
Company anticipates it will receive $7.9 million of additional funding prior to
December 31, 2000.

    Cash used in operating activities was $7.2 million resulting primarily from
a net loss before non-cash charges of $5.6 million and from a decrease in
working capital other than cash. This decrease in working capital other than
cash resulted primarily from a $3.1 million increase in total inventory,
$2.8 million of which consisted of green coffee purchased during the peak coffee
harvest season and, to a lesser extent, from increases in accounts receivable
and prepaid expenses and a decrease in accounts payable. The decrease in working
capital other than cash was partially offset by an increase in accrued
liabilities.

    Cash used by investing activities for the first 26 weeks of fiscal 2001
totaled $9.0 million. These investments included opening 23 new Company-operated
stores, new store construction work in progress, and capital improvements to
existing stores and to the Company's administrative and roasting facilities.

    The Company has a bank line of credit totaling $6.0 million, of which
$6.0 million was outstanding at October 1, 2000. The interest rate on this line
of credit is prime plus 1/2 percent and was at 10.0% at October 1, 2000. This
line is secured by the assets of the Company, and has been guaranteed by the
Company's chief executive officer and by a director. The outstanding balance on
this bank line is due on July 1, 2001.

    The Company has fixed-price purchase commitments with certain of its vendors
to maintain the supply of green coffee and stabilize its costs of goods sold. As
of October 1, 2000, Tully's had approximately $945,000 in fixed-price purchase
commitments which, together with its current inventory levels, the Company
believes will be sufficient to meet all its coffee needs until October 1, 2001.
The Company believes that the risk of non-delivery on these purchase commitments
is remote.

    The Company has sponsorship agreements with PacBell Stadium in San Francisco
and Safeco Field in Seattle expiring in 2003 that provide for certain
advertising and marketing rights in exchange for annual fees. The annual fees
are, in the aggregate, $1,190,321, $1,355,031 and $1,470,182 due in 2001, 2002,
and 2003, respectively. The fees are due at the beginning of the major league
baseball season.

    Cash requirements through fiscal year 2001, other than normal operating
expenses, are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures related to
the addition of new Company-operated retail stores. As of October 1, 2000, the
Company had entered into leases for 38 new store locations in Washington,
California and Oregon and expects to pursue other potential store locations in
these and other markets. Capital expenditures for the 38 new stores are
estimated to be $10.1 million and the annual lease commitment is approximately
$1.8 million. The Company expects the majority of these stores to be operational
by the quarter ending April 1, 2001. The Company also anticipates making
additional expenditures to expand its administrative offices and production
capacity and to enhance information systems and remodel certain existing stores.

                                       13
<PAGE>
    As the Company executes its growth strategy, management expects to have an
ongoing need for additional capital to fund this growth for the foreseeable
future. The Company has historically funded its capital requirements principally
through the issuance of equity securities and through borrowings. In May 2000,
the Company commenced a Series B Preferred Stock accredited investor financing
to raise up to $20 million in equity capital. As of November 14, 2000 the
Company had received aggregate proceeds of $12.1 million from this offering. The
Company anticipates it will receive $7.9 million of additional funding prior to
December 31, 2000 and expects to complete this offering in the quarter ending
December 31, 2000. While there can be no assurance that amounts and timing of
expenditures will occur as planned, management believes that cash proceeds from
this or an additional equity offering will be sufficient for its capital needs
for the next twelve months. If the Company's current equity capital raising
strategy is not successful, the Company would need to seek funding from other
sources or on other terms to continue to fund operations. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. In the event that other
funding sources are not available, the Company would need to modify or
discontinue its growth plans and new store construction and reduce selling,
general and administrative costs related to its growth plans.

SEASONALITY

    Tully's business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions
of Tully's net revenues and profits are realized during the third quarter of its
fiscal year. This period includes the Thanksgiving through New Years holiday
season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening
of new stores, and Tully's rapid growth may conceal the impact of other seasonal
influences. Because of the seasonality of Tully's business, results for any
quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for
the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

    The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate exposure, primarily
related to its retail operations in Asia and Europe. This exposure has had a
minimal impact on the Company. At the present time, the Company does not hedge
foreign currency risk, but may hedge known transaction exposure in the future.
