Explanation of Responses:
1. This Form 3/A is being filed to amend the Form 3 filed with the SEC on December 14, 2005 to correct the number of shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. On December 14, 2005, 2,617,530 shares, rather than 2,620,024 shares as originally reported, were contributed to Farmer Equities, LP (the "Partnership") by various trusts for for the benefit of the Farmer family. Upon the distribution of 2,493 shares and payment of $17.56 cash in lieu of fractional shares by the Farmer Bros. Co. Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the benefit of Roy F. Farmer to Emily Marjorie Farmer, Ms. Farmer contributed such shares to a family trust rather than the Partnership as originally reported. No shares were purchased or sold.
2. The 2,617,530 shares contributed to the Partnershio are also indirectly beneficially owned by the Carol L. Waite Trust, dated August 26, 1997, the Jeanne F. Grossman Trust, dated August 22, 1997, and the Richard F. Farmer Revocable Living Trust, dated December 29,1995, as general partners of the Partnership. Each general partner disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
