The remaining 16% of net revenues is derived from the Company's Specialty Operations, which include sales to wholesale channels and licensees, royalty and license fee income and sales through its direct-to-consumer business. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. Fiscal years 2001 and 2000 each had 52 weeks, and fiscal 1999 had 53 weeks. The fiscal year ending on September 29, 2002, will include 52 weeks. The Company's consolidated net revenues increased 22% from $2.2 billion in fiscal 2000 to $2.6 billion in fiscal 2001, primarily due to the Company's store expansion program and comparable store sales increases. Comparable store sales increased by 5%, 9% and 6% in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As part of its expansion strategy of clustering stores in existing markets, Starbucks has experienced a certain level of cannibalization of sales of existing stores by new stores as store concentration has increased. However, management believes such cannibalization has been justified by the incremental sales and return on new store investments. This cannibalization, as well as increased competition and other factors, may put downward pressure on the Company's comparable store sales growth in future periods. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to total net revenues, unless otherwise indicated, of certain items included in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings:

(d/b/a "Hear Music"), a music retailer, and of Coffee Partners Co. Ltd., the company licensed to operate Starbucks stores in Thailand. The combined purchase price for these two acquisitions was $14.1 million. During fiscal 1999, Starbucks acquired the net assets of Tazo, L.L.C., a Portland, Oregon-based tea company that produces premium tea products, and Pasqua Inc., a San Francisco, California-based roaster and retailer of specialty coffee. The combined purchase price for these two acquisitions was $16.5 million. All of the above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Results of operations of the acquired companies are included on the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FISCAL 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2000 SYSTEMWIDE RETAIL STORE SALES Systemwide retail store sales, which include net sales for both Company-operated and licensed retail stores, were $3.0 billion for fiscal 2001, an increase of 31% from $2.3 billion in fiscal 2000, primarily due to the opening of an additional 1,208 stores. Systemwide retail store sales provides a broad perspective of global brand sales; however, it excludes net revenues from non-retail channels. REVENUES Consolidated net revenues increased 22% to $2.6 billion for fiscal 2001, compared to $2.2 billion for fiscal 2000. Retail revenues increased 22% to $2.2 billion from $1.8 billion. The increase in retail revenues was due to the addition of new Company-operated stores and comparable store sales growth of 5%. The increase in comparable store sales resulted from a 2% increase in the number of transactions and a 3% increase in the average dollar value per transaction. During fiscal 2001, the Company opened 525 stores in continental North America, 96 stores in the United Kingdom, 10 in Thailand and 16 in Australia. As of fiscal year-end, there were 2,971 Company-operated stores in continental North America, 252 in the United Kingdom, 25 in Thailand and 18 in Australia. During fiscal 2002, the Company expects to open at least 525 Company-operated stores in North America and 100 in international markets. Specialty revenues increased 18% to $419 million for fiscal 2001 from $354 million for fiscal 2000. The increase was driven primarily by higher sales to retail licensees, the Company's grocery channel and foodservice accounts. Licensees (including those in which the Company is a joint venture partner) opened 282 stores in international markets and 279 stores in continental North America, of which over 180 stores related to the Company's expansion into grocery stores. The Company ended the year with 809 licensed stores in continental North America and 634 licensed stores in international markets. During fiscal 2002, the Company expects to open at least 300 licensed stores in North America and 275 in international markets. EXPENSES Cost of sales and related occupancy costs decreased to 42.0% of net revenues for fiscal 2001 from 44.2% in fiscal 2000. The decrease resulted from several factors, including lower green coffee costs, the impact of retail beverage sales price increases, continued cost savings from procurement initiatives and shifts in sales mix to higher-margin products. These factors were partially offset by higher occupancy costs as a result of higher average rent expense per square foot as well as the expansion of Company-operated stores into international markets that have higher occupancy costs as a percentage of revenues than North American retail operations. Store operating expenses as a percentage of retail revenues increased to 39.3% for fiscal 2001 from 38.7% for fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures resulting from higher average wage rates and the continuing shift to more labor-intensive handcrafted beverages, partially offset by leverage gained from regional overhead expenses distributed over an expanded revenue base and reductions in advertising expenses. Other operating expenses (expenses associated with the Company's Specialty Operations) were 22.3% of specialty revenues during fiscal 2001, compared to 22.2% for fiscal 2000. The increase is attributable to the Company's licensee channels, both international and domestic, as the Company expands these businesses geographically and continues to develop its internal resources for future growth. These costs, which are expected to increase through 2002, were partially offset by lower advertising expenses for the Company's direct-to-consumer business. Depreciation and amortization was 6.2% of net revenues, compared to 6.0% of net revenues for fiscal 2000 primarily due to the Company's international retail expansion. 3 General and administrative expenses were 5.7% of net revenues during fiscal 2001, compared to 5.1% for fiscal 2000 primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures, increased professional fees, non-insured expenses recorded during the second fiscal quarter resulting from the Nisqually earthquake, higher charitable contributions and provisions for obsolete software. JOINT VENTURE INCOME The Company has two joint ventures to produce and distribute Starbucks branded products. The North American Coffee Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with the Pepsi-Cola Company to develop and distribute bottled Frappuccino(R) coffee drink. The Starbucks Ice Cream Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. to develop and distribute premium ice creams. The Company is a partner in several other joint ventures that operate licensed Starbucks retail stores, including Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Japanese retailer and restauranteur SAZABY Inc. to develop Starbucks retail stores in Japan, and Starbucks Coffee Korea Co., Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Shinsegae Department Store Co., Ltd., to develop retail stores in the Republic of Korea. See separate "Subsequent Events" discussion for additional information pertaining to Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. Joint venture income was $28.6 million for fiscal 2001, compared to $20.3 million for fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily due to the improved profitability of the North American Coffee Partnership as a result of increased sales volume from extension of its product line and expansion of geographic distribution, as well as improvements in cost of goods sold primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies. The increase was also due to improved operating results of Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd., attributable to additional profitable store locations as well as the distribution of infrastructure and administrative costs over an expanded revenue base. Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. had 289 stores open as of September 30, 2001, compared to 154 stores open as of October 1, 2000. INTERNET-RELATED INVESTMENT LOSSES During fiscal 2001, the Company determined that its investments in Internet-related companies had suffered declines in value. The Company's management deemed these declines as other than temporary due to the sustained weak conditions in the Internet industry as reflected in the bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings of numerous comparable companies and the significant decline in stock market valuation of the sector, the declining financial condition of each company in which the Company had invested, the unfavorable prospects of such companies obtaining additional funding and the length of time and extent to which the quoted market values had been less than cost for publicly traded companies. As a result, the Company recognized losses totaling $2.9 million to write off the Company's remaining investment in Kozmo.com, which was liquidated during fiscal 2001, and to reduce its investment in Liveworld, Inc. (previously known as Talk City, Inc.). As of September 30, 2001, the Company had Internet-related investments with an aggregate fair value of $1.7 million. The Company plans to maintain its ownership of its remaining Internet-related investments and will continue to record them at their fair value. The Company intends to focus its future investment activity on its core businesses and other new business opportunities related to its core businesses. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rates of 37.3% in fiscal 2001 and 41.1% in fiscal 2000 were both impacted by the establishment of valuation allowances against deferred tax benefits resulting from Internet-related investment losses. Management determined that a portion of these losses may not be realizable for tax purposes within the allowable carryforward period. Excluding the impact of these allowances, the effective tax rates would have been 37.0% and 37.6% in fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively. The decrease to 37.0% in fiscal 2001 from 37.6% in fiscal 2000 was due to tax planning efforts. The effective tax rate is expected to be 37.0% for fiscal 2002. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- FISCAL 2000 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1999 SYSTEMWIDE RETAIL STORE SALES Systemwide retail store sales were $2.3 billion for fiscal 2000 (52 weeks), an increase of 38% from $1.6 billion in fiscal 1999 (53 weeks), primarily due to the opening of an additional 1,035 stores. 4 REVENUES Consolidated net revenues increased 29% to $2.2 billion for fiscal 2000, compared to $1.7 billion for fiscal 1999. Retail revenues increased 28% to $1.8 billion from $1.4 billion. The increase in retail revenues was due to the addition of new Company-operated stores and comparable store sales growth of 9%. The increase in comparable store sales resulted from a 5% increase in the number of transactions and a 4% increase in the average dollar value per transaction. During fiscal 2000, the Company opened 417 stores in continental North America, 63 stores in the United Kingdom, 8 in Thailand and 2 in Australia. As of fiscal year-end, there were 2,446 Company-operated stores in continental North America, 156 in the United Kingdom, 15 in Thailand and 2 in Australia. Specialty revenues increased 34% to $354 million for fiscal 2000 from $263 million for fiscal 1999. The increase was driven primarily by higher sales to retail licensees, the Company's grocery channel and foodservice accounts. Licensees (including those in which the Company is a joint venture partner) opened 361 stores in continental North America, of which over 280 stores related to the Company's expansion into grocery stores, and 184 stores relate to international markets. The Company ended the year with 530 licensed stores in continental North America and 352 licensed stores in international markets. EXPENSES Cost of sales and related occupancy costs decreased to 44.2% of net revenues for fiscal 2000 from 44.3% in fiscal 1999. The decrease was a result of lower green coffee costs and the impact of retail beverage sales price increases, partially offset by higher occupancy costs. Occupancy costs, which are primarily fixed costs, were higher as a percentage of revenues due, in part, to one less week of sales in fiscal 2000. Also, occupancy costs have increased as a result of higher average rent expense per square foot as well as the expansion of Company-operated stores into international markets that have higher occupancy costs as a percentage of revenue than North American retail operations. Store operating expenses as a percentage of retail revenues increased to 38.7% for fiscal 2000 from 38.2% for fiscal 1999. The increase was due to a number of factors. Higher average wage rates combined with a continuing shift in retail sales to more labor-intensive handcrafted beverages resulted in higher payroll-related expenditures. This shift in retail sales mix also resulted in more frequent maintenance on store equipment. Provision for losses on asset disposals increased due to store remodel costs associated with the expansion of lunch programs and computer system upgrades. These increases were partially offset by leverage gained from retail beverage sales price increases and reductions in advertising expenses. Other operating expenses were 22.2% of specialty revenues during fiscal 2000, compared to 20.7% for fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures for accelerating the growth of the Company's Specialty Operations. Depreciation and amortization was 6.0% of net revenues, compared to 5.8% of net revenues for fiscal 1999. Excluding the extra week of sales in fiscal 1999, depreciation and amortization would have been 5.9% of net revenues in fiscal 1999. General and administrative expenses were 5.1% of net revenues during fiscal 2000, compared to 5.3% for fiscal 1999 primarily due to lower payroll-related expenses as a percentage of net revenues. JOINT VENTURE INCOME The Company has two joint ventures to produce and distribute Starbucks branded products. The North American Coffee Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with the Pepsi-Cola Company to develop and distribute bottled Frappuccino coffee drink. The Starbucks Ice Cream Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. to develop and distribute premium ice creams. The Company is a partner in several other joint ventures that operate licensed Starbucks retail stores, including Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Japanese retailer and restauranteur SAZABY Inc. to develop Starbucks retail stores in Japan. Joint venture income was $20.3 million for fiscal 2000, compared to $3.2 million for fiscal 1999. The increase was primarily due to the crossover from losses to profitability of Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. as a result of improved ability to obtain preferred and more profitable store locations as well as the distribution of infrastructure and administrative costs over an expanded revenue base. Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. had 154 stores open as of October 1, 2000, compared to 82 stores open as of October 3, 1999. The increase was also due to the improved profitability of the North American Coffee Partnership attributed to increased sales volume resulting from expansion of its product line and geographic distribution, as well as improvements in cost of goods sold primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies. 5 INTERNET-RELATED INVESTMENT LOSSES During fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company made several minority investments in companies that derive the majority of their revenue from Internet-related activities. In fiscal 1999, the Company invested $8.0 million in Talk City, Inc. ("Talk City"), a publicly traded interactive online chat site. The Company also invested $20.3 million in living.com Inc. ("living.com"), an online furniture retailer. Also in fiscal 1999, the Company established an alliance with Cooking.com, Inc. ("Cooking.com"), a privately held Web-based retailer of cookware, accessories and specialty foods and provider of information about cooking. As part of this alliance, the Company made a $10.0 million investment in Cooking.com. In the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company invested $25.0 million in Kozmo.com, an Internet-to-door delivery service for food, entertainment and convenience items. Starbucks and Kozmo.com also entered into a commercial agreement to provide in-store return boxes in Starbucks stores in exchange for cash, a channel for selling the Company's products and other marketing opportunities. In connection with this agreement, Starbucks received a $15.0 million payment that was recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over twelve months. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company determined that its investments in Internet-related companies had suffered declines in value that were other than temporary because of the sustained weak condition of the Internet industry as reflected in the bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings of numerous comparable companies and the significant decline in stock market valuation of the sector, the declining financial condition of each company in which the Company had invested, the unfavorable prospects of such companies obtaining additional funding, and the length of time and extent to which the quoted market values had been less than cost for publicly traded companies. The Company determined the aggregate fair value for privately held investments by using a variety of methodologies, including comparing each security with securities of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business, applying revenue multiples to estimated future operating results and estimating discounted cash flows. Quoted market prices were used for publicly traded equity securities to determine fair value. As a result, the Company recognized losses totaling $58.8 million to reduce its investments in living.com, Talk City, Cooking.com and Kozmo.com to their aggregate fair value of $4.8 million as of October 1, 2000. INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for fiscal 2000 was 41.1% compared to 38.0% for fiscal 1999. The increase is due in part to the establishment of a valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax benefit resulting from Internet-related investment losses which management has determined may ultimately not be realizable for tax purposes. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company ended fiscal 2001 with $220.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Working capital as of September 30, 2001, totaled $148.7 million compared to $146.6 million at October 1, 2000. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $42.4 million during fiscal 2001 to $113.2 million at September 30, 2001. This increase was in addition to an increase in short-term investments of $46.0 million during the same period. The Company intends to use its available cash resources to invest in its core businesses and other new business opportunities related to its core businesses. Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2001 totaled $460.8 million and resulted primarily from net earnings and non-cash charges of $381.4 million. The increase in accounts payable contributed $54.1 million primarily due to the timing of payments and the build up of holiday inventory for a larger number of Company-operated stores. The increase in accrued taxes contributed $34.5 million primarily due to the extension of the deadline for quarterly income tax payments from September 15, 2001, to October 1, 2001. In addition, the increase in accrued compensation and related costs contributed $12.1 million primarily due to an increase in the number of employees. Higher receivables, from domestic licensees resulting from business growth and from insurance recoveries directly related to the fiscal 2001 Nisqually earthquake, as well as higher inventory levels resulted in an increased use of cash of $36.9 million. Cash used by investing activities for fiscal 2001 totaled $433.1 million. This included capital additions to property, plant and equipment of $384.2 million related to opening 647 new Company-operated retail stores, remodeling certain existing stores, enhancing information systems, purchasing roasting and packaging equipment for the Company's roasting and distribution facilities and expanding existing office space. The net activity in the Company's marketable securities portfolio during fiscal 2001 used $43.8 million of cash. Excess cash was invested primarily in short-term, investment-grade securities. During fiscal 2001, the Company made equity investments of $12.6 million in its international joint ventures, excluding the effects of foreign 6 currency fluctuations. The Company received $16.8 million in distributions from the North American Coffee Partnership and $0.1 million from its international joint ventures. Cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2001 totaled $14.8 million. This included $46.7 million generated from the exercise of employee stock options and $13.0 million generated from the Company's employee stock purchase plan. As options granted under the Company's stock option plans are exercised, the Company will continue to receive proceeds and a tax deduction; however, neither the amounts nor the timing thereof can be predicted. The increase in checks issued but not presented for payment provided $5.7 million. On September 17, 2001, the Company announced a share repurchase program to acquire up to $60.0 million of the Company's common stock from time to time on the open market. Share repurchases are at the discretion of management and depend on market conditions, capital requirements and such other factors as the Company may consider relevant. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had repurchased 3.4 million shares, which used $49.8 million of cash, at an average price of $14.75 per share. Cash requirements for fiscal 2002, other than normal operating expenses, are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures related to the addition of new Company-operated retail stores. The Company plans to open at least 625 Company-operated stores during fiscal 2002. The Company also anticipates incurring additional expenditures for remodeling certain existing stores and enhancing its production capacity and information systems. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized, management expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2002 to be in the range of $450 million to $475 million. Management believes that existing cash and investments plus cash generated from operations should be sufficient to finance capital requirements for its core businesses through fiscal 2002. New joint ventures, other new business opportunities or store expansion rates substantially in excess of that presently planned may require outside funding. COFFEE PRICES, AVAILABILITY AND GENERAL RISK CONDITIONS The supply and price of coffee are subject to significant volatility. Although most coffee trades in the commodity market, coffee of the quality sought by the Company tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial premium above commodity coffee prices, depending upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase. Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, including weather, political and economic conditions. In addition, green coffee prices have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by the actions of certain organizations and associations that have historically attempted to influence commodity prices of green coffee through agreements establishing export quotas or restricting coffee supplies worldwide. The Company's ability to raise sales prices in response to rising coffee prices may be limited, and the Company's profitability could be adversely affected if coffee prices were to rise substantially. The Company enters into fixed-price purchase commitments in order to secure an adequate supply of quality green coffee and bring greater certainty to the cost of sales in future periods. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $283.8 million in fixed-price purchase commitments which, together with existing inventory, is expected to provide an adequate supply of green coffee through 2002. The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers in the past, that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is low. In addition to fluctuating coffee prices, management believes that the Company's future results of operations and earnings could be significantly impacted by other factors such as increased competition within the specialty coffee industry, the Company's ability to find optimal store locations at favorable lease rates, increased costs associated with opening and operating retail stores and the Company's continued ability to hire, train and retain qualified personnel. 7 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The Company is exposed to market risk related to foreign currency exchange rates, equity security prices and changes in interest rates. FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK The majority of the Company's revenue, expense and capital purchasing activities are transacted in United States dollars. However, because a portion of the Company's operations consists of activities outside of the United States, the Company has transactions in other currencies, primarily the Canadian dollar, British pound and Japanese yen. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments, with maturities generally not exceeding five years, to hedge assets, liabilities, revenues and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. During fiscal 2001, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to hedge a portion of anticipated international revenue. In addition, the Company entered into a forward foreign exchange contract that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. These contracts expire within 14 months. EQUITY SECURITY PRICE RISK The Company has minimal exposure to price fluctuations on equity mutual funds within the trading portfolio. The trading securities are designated to approximate the Company's liability under the Management Deferred Compensation Plan ("MDCP"). A corresponding liability is included in "Accrued compensation and related costs" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. These investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in "Interest and other income, net." The offsetting changes in the MDCP liability are recorded in "General and administrative expenses" on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. The Company also has an equity investment in a privately held company, Cooking.com, which is still in the development stage. The Company could lose its entire investment because this type of company is inherently risky. The investment is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at a fair value of $1.6 million as of September 30, 2001. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company's diversified available-for-sale portfolio consists mainly of fixed income instruments. The primary objectives of these investments are to preserve capital and liquidity. Available-for-sale securities are of investment grade and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive gain/loss. The Company does not hedge its interest rate exposure. SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of the Company's net revenues and profits are realized during the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year, which includes the December holiday season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new stores, and the Company's rapid growth may conceal the impact of other seasonal influences. 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. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," which requires any shipping and handling costs billed to customers in a sale transaction to be classified as revenue. The Company adopted Issue No. 00-10 on October 2, 2000, and restated all prior period disclosures. Issue No. 00-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the use of a nonamortization approach for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a nonamortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into earnings, but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective September 30, 2002. The Company's management has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, of $21.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, which would be subject to the transitional 8 assessment provisions of SFAS No. 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangible assets was $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 143 effective September 30, 2002, and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 but sets forth new criteria for asset classification and broadens the scope of qualifying discontinued operations. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 as of September 30, 2002. The Company's management has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. In September 2001, the EITF reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 01-10, "Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001," which requires that losses and other costs incurred as a result of the September 11, 2001, events be classified as part of income from continuing operations in the statement of operations. Additionally, certain disclosures are required in all periods affected. As a result of the events of September 11, 2001, the Company closed its North American Company-operated retail stores and other North American facilities for the remainder of that day. None of the Company's employees were injured, and the Company did not sustain significant property loss or incur significant costs as a result of the attacks. However, the aftermath of these events, together with the slowing economy, have had a moderately negative impact on the Company's Specialty Operations, which derives approximately 9.0% of its revenue from the travel and hospitality industries. At this time, management believes that the events of September 11, 2001, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in fiscal 2002. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 10, 2001, the Company sold 30,000 of its shares of Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. ("Starbucks Japan") at approximately $495.00 per share, net of related costs. In connection with this sale, the Company received cash proceeds of $15 million. The Company's ownership interest in Starbucks Japan was reduced from 50.0% to 47.5% following the sale of the aforementioned shares. The Company recorded a gain from this sale of $13 million. Also on October 10, 2001, Starbucks Japan issued and sold 220,000 shares of common stock at approximately $495.00 per share, net of related costs, in an initial public offering in Japan. In connection with this offering, the Company's ownership interest in Starbucks Japan was reduced from 47.5% to 40.1%. The Company recorded a credit to shareholders' equity of $39 million, reflecting the increase in value of its share of the net assets of Starbucks Japan related to the stock offering. 9 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS In thousands, except earnings per share

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 13 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Years ended September 30, 2001, October 1, 2000, and October 3, 1999 NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Starbucks Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Starbucks" or the "Company") purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees and sells them, along with fresh, rich-brewed coffees, Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, coffee-related accessories and equipment, a selection of premium teas and a line of compact discs primarily through its Company-operated retail stores. In addition to sales through its Company-operated retail stores, Starbucks sells coffee and tea products through other channels of distribution including the Business Alliances business unit and other specialty operations (collectively, "Specialty Operations"). Starbucks, through its joint venture partnerships, also produces and sells bottled Frappuccino(R) coffee drink and a line of premium ice creams. The Company's objective is to establish Starbucks as the most recognized and respected brand in the world. To achieve this goal, the Company plans to continue to rapidly expand its retail operations, grow its Specialty Operations and selectively pursue other opportunities to leverage the Starbucks brand through the introduction of new products and the development of new distribution channels. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position and operating results of Starbucks, its subsidiaries and investments in joint ventures in which the Company has significant control. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company has investments in unconsolidated joint ventures that are accounted for under the equity method, as the Company does not exercise control over the operating and financial policies of such joint ventures. The Company also has other investments that are accounted for under the cost method. FISCAL YEAR-END The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. The fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, each included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ended October 3, 1999, included 53 weeks. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. CASH MANAGEMENT The Company's cash management system provides for the reimbursement of all major bank disbursement accounts on a daily basis. Checks issued but not presented for payment to the bank are reflected as "Checks drawn in excess of bank balances" on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Company's investments consist primarily of investment-grade marketable debt and equity securities as well as bond and equity mutual funds, all of which are classified as trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis. 14 OTHER INVESTMENTS The Company has investments in privately held equity securities that are recorded at their estimated fair values. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The fair value of the Company's investments in marketable debt and equity securities as well as bond and equity mutual funds is based upon the quoted market price on the last business day of the fiscal year. The fair value and amortized cost of the Company's short-term investments at September 30, 2001, were $107.3 million and $107.7 million, respectively. The fair value and amortized cost of the Company's short-term investments at October 1, 2000, were $61.3 million and $61.0 million, respectively. For equity securities of companies that are privately held, or where an observable quoted market price does not exist, the Company estimates fair value using a variety of valuation methodologies. Such methodologies include comparing the security with securities of publicly traded companies in similar lines of business, applying revenue multiples to estimated future operating results for the private company and estimating discounted cash flows for that company. For further information on investments, see Notes 4 and 8. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (primarily moving average cost) or market. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, which includes amortization of assets under capital leases, is provided on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, generally ranging from two to seven years for equipment and 30 to 40 years for buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease life, generally ten years. The portion of depreciation expense related to production and distribution facilities is included in "Cost of sales and related occupancy costs" on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. GOODWILL Goodwill resulting from business acquisitions represents the excess purchase price paid over net assets of businesses acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from ten to twenty years. LONG-LIVED ASSETS When facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of long-lived assets, including intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying value of the assets to projected future cash flows in addition to other quantitative and qualitative analyses. Upon indication that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss by a charge against current operations. Property, plant and equipment assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows when assessing impairment. Cash flows for retail assets are identified at the individual store level. REVENUE RECOGNITION Retail store revenues are recognized when payment is tendered at the point of sale. Specialty revenues, consisting mainly of product sales, are generally recognized upon shipment to customers. Initial non-refundable fees required under licensing agreements are earned upon substantial performance of services. Royalty revenues based upon a percentage of sales and other continuing fees are recognized when earned. All revenues are recognized net of any discounts. ADVERTISING The Company expenses costs of advertising the first time the advertising campaign takes place, except for direct-to-consumer advertising, which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefit, generally six to twelve months. Net capitalized direct-to-consumer advertising costs were $0.9 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, respectively, and are included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the accompanying consolidated balance 15 sheets. Total advertising expenses, recorded in "Store operating expenses" and "Other operating expenses," on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings were $28.8 million, $32.6 million and $38.4 million in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. STORE PREOPENING EXPENSES Costs incurred in connection with the start-up and promotion of new store openings are expensed as incurred. RENT EXPENSE Certain of the Company's lease agreements provide for scheduled rent increases during the lease terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy. Minimum rental expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company's international operations use their local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. INCOME TAXES The Company computes income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. STOCK SPLIT On April 27, 2001, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split of its $0.001 par value common stock for holders of record on March 30, 2001. All applicable share and per-share data in these consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to this stock split. EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares and common stock units outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of certain shares subject to stock options. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs," which requires any shipping and handling costs billed to customers in a sale transaction to be classified as revenue. The Company adopted Issue No. 00-10 on October 2, 2000, and restated all prior period disclosures. Issue No. 00-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, the use of a nonamortization approach for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a nonamortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into earnings, but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective September 30, 2002. The Company's management has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. As of September 30, 2001, the Company had goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, of $21.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, which would be subject to the transitional assessment provisions of SFAS No. 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill and other intangible assets was $3.0 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the 16 long-lived asset. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 143 effective September 30, 2002, and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 but sets forth new criteria for asset classification and broadens the scope of qualifying discontinued operations. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 144 as of September 30, 2002. The Company's management has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial position and results of operations. In September 2001, the EITF reached a consensus regarding Issue No. 01-10, "Accounting for the Impact of the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001," which requires that losses and other costs incurred as a result of the September 11, 2001, events be classified as part of income from continuing operations in the statement of operations. Additionally, certain disclosures are required in all periods affected. As a result of the events of September 11, 2001, the Company closed its North American Company-operated retail stores and other North American facilities for the remainder of that day. None of the Company's employees were injured, and the Company did not sustain significant property loss or incur significant costs as a result of the attacks. However, the aftermath of these events, together with the slowing economy, have had a moderately negative impact on the Company's Specialty Operations, which derives approximately 9.0% of its revenue from the travel and hospitality industries. At this time, management believes that the events of September 11, 2001, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows in fiscal 2002. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications of prior years' balances have been made to conform to the fiscal 2001 presentation. NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS During fiscal 2000, Starbucks acquired the outstanding stock of Tympanum, Inc. (d/b/a "Hear Music"), a music retailer, and of Coffee Partners Co. Ltd., the company licensed to operate Starbucks stores in Thailand. The combined purchase price for these two acquisitions was $14.1 million. During fiscal 1999, Starbucks acquired the net assets of Tazo, L.L.C., a Portland, Oregon-based tea company that produces premium tea products, and Pasqua Inc., a San Francisco, California-based roaster and retailer of specialty coffee. The combined purchase price for these two acquisitions was $16.5 million. All of the above acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Results of operations of the acquired companies are included on the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

GROSS GROSS UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FAIR AMORTIZED HOLDING HOLDING October 1, 2000: VALUE COST GAINS LOSSES -------- --------- ---------- ----------- Short-term investments -- available-for-sale securities: U.S. Government obligations $10,990 $10,996 $3 $ (9) Commercial paper 45,356 45,373 1 (18) Marketable equity securities 1,227 1,227 - -- ------- ------- -- ---- Total $57,573 $57,596 $4 $(27) Short-term investments -- trading securities 3,763 ------- Total short-term investments $61,336
Available-for-sale securities with remaining maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term investments. Securities with remaining maturities longer than one year are classified as long-term and are included in the line item "Other investments" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The specific identification method is used to determine a cost basis for computing realized gains and losses. In fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, proceeds from the sale of investment securities were $46.9 million, $49.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Gross realized gains and losses from the sale of securities were not material in 2001, 2000 and 1999. During fiscal 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized losses of $0.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, on its investment in the common stock of Liveworld, Inc. (previously known as Talk City, Inc.), due to impairments that were determined by management to be other than temporary. The remaining fair value of the investment was $50 thousand as of September 30, 2001, and $1.2 million as of October 1, 2000. Trading securities are classified as short-term investments. The trading securities are comprised mainly of marketable equity mutual funds designated to approximate the Company's liability under the Management Deferred Compensation Plan. The corresponding deferred compensation liability of $6.0 million in fiscal 2001 and $3.8 million in fiscal 2000 is included in "Accrued compensation and related costs" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, the change in net unrealized holding gains or (losses) in the trading portfolio included in earnings were ($1.9) million and $0.3 million, respectively. Gross gains included in earnings associated with the transfer of securities from the available-for-sale category to the trading category were $0.5 million in fiscal 2000. 18 NOTE 5: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company manages its exposure to foreign currency risk within the consolidated financial statements according to a hedging policy. Under the policy, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments with maturities generally not longer than five years, to hedge assets, liabilities, revenues and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. On October 2, 2000, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on the intended use and resulting designation. The Company designates its derivatives based upon the criteria established by SFAS No. 133. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss generated from the change in fair value is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income ("OCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. For a derivative designated as a net investment hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is reported as a component of the foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of OCI. The ineffective portions of all derivatives are recognized immediately into earnings. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company classifies the cash flows from hedging transactions in the same category as the cash flows from the respective hedged items. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. During the 52-week period ended September 30, 2001, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133 to hedge a portion of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the underlying transaction. Once established, cash flow hedges are generally not removed until maturity. The Company also entered into a forward foreign exchange contract that qualifies as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. These contracts expire within 14 months and are intended to minimize certain foreign currency exposures that can be confidently identified and quantified. Forward contract effectiveness for cash flow hedges is calculated by comparing the fair value of the contract to the change in value of the anticipated transaction using forward rates on a monthly basis. Any ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in "Interest and other income, net" on the accompanying consolidated statement of earnings. There was no ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges for the 52-week period ended September 30, 2001. For net investment hedges, the spot-to-spot method is used by the Company to calculate effectiveness. As a result of using this method, net gains of $1.4 million were recognized in earnings during the 52-week period ended September 30, 2001. The Company had accumulated derivative gains of $1.3 million, net of taxes, in OCI as of September 30, 2001, related to cash flow and net investment hedges. Of this amount, $1.2 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within 12 months. NOTE 6: INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):
Sept 30, 2001 Oct 1, 2000 ------------- ----------- Coffee: Unroasted $ 98,557 $ 90,807 Roasted 33,958 27,880 Other merchandise held for sale 63,458 59,420 Packaging and other supplies 25,280 23,549 -------- -------- Total $221,253 $201,656
As of September 30, 2001, the Company had fixed-price inventory purchase commitments for green coffee totaling approximately $283.8 million. The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers in the past, that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is low. 19 NOTE 7: JOINT VENTURES The Company has two joint ventures to produce and distribute Starbucks branded products. The North American Coffee Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with the Pepsi-Cola Company to develop and distribute bottled Frappuccino coffee drink. The Starbucks Ice Cream Partnership is a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. to develop and distribute premium ice creams. The Company is a partner in several other joint ventures that operate licensed Starbucks retail stores, including Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Japanese retailer and restauranteur SAZABY Inc. to develop Starbucks retail stores in Japan (See Note 17), and Starbucks Coffee Korea Co., Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture partnership with Shinsegae Department Store Co., Ltd., to develop retail stores in the Republic of Korea. The Company also has interests in joint ventures to develop Starbucks retail stores in Hawaii, Taiwan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Austria, Switzerland and Israel. The Company accounts for these investments using the equity method when Starbucks is deemed to have significant influence over the investee but is not the controlling or managing partner; otherwise, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. The Company's share of income and losses for equity method joint ventures is included in "Joint venture income" on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. This line includes both the Company's proportionate share of gross margin resulting from coffee and other product sales to the joint ventures and royalty and license fee revenues. The Company's investments in these joint ventures are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has a consolidated joint venture with Starbucks Coffee Company (Australia) Pty Ltd. to develop retail stores in Australia. In addition, the Company has a consolidated joint venture, Urban Coffee Opportunities LLC, with Johnson Development Corporation to develop retail stores in underserved urban communities. NOTE 8: OTHER INVESTMENTS In fiscal 1999, the Company invested $20.3 million in living.com Inc. ("living.com"), an online furniture retailer, and $10.0 million in Cooking.com, Inc. ("Cooking.com"), a privately held Web-based retailer of cookware, accessories and specialty foods and provider of information about cooking. During fiscal 2000, the Company invested $25.0 million in Kozmo.com, an Internet-to-door delivery service for food, entertainment and convenience items. Starbucks and Kozmo.com also entered into a commercial agreement to provide in-store return boxes in Starbucks stores in exchange for cash, a channel for selling the Company's products and other marketing opportunities. In connection with this agreement, Starbucks received a $15.0 million payment that was recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over twelve months. During fiscal 2001 and 2000, the Company determined that its investments in Internet-related companies had suffered declines in value that were other than temporary. As a result, the Company recognized a loss totaling $2.0 million to write off its 20 remaining investment in Kozmo.com as of September 30, 2001, and recognized losses of $52.0 million to reduce its investments in living.com, Cooking.com and Kozmo.com to their aggregate fair value of $3.6 million as of October 1, 2000. The Company had other investments recorded at their estimated aggregate fair value of $1.9 million as of September 30, 2001, and $0.2 million as of October 1, 2000.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN The Company has an employee stock purchase plan which provides that eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of their base earnings towards the quarterly purchase of the Company's common stock. The employee's purchase price is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the first business day or the last business day of the quarterly offering period. Employees may purchase shares having a fair market value of up to $25,000 (measured as of the first day of the quarterly offering period for each calendar year). No compensation expense is recorded in connection with the plan. The total number of shares issuable under the plan is 16,000,000. There were 813,635 shares issued under the plan during fiscal 2001 at prices ranging from $12.70 to $18.28. There were 807,542 shares issued under the plan during fiscal 2000 at prices ranging from 24 $10.19 to $16.36. There were 984,462 shares issued under the plan during fiscal 1999 at prices ranging from $7.03 to $12.59. Of the 24,030 employees eligible to participate, 8,577 were participants in the plan as of September 30, 2001. DEFERRED STOCK PLAN The Company has a Deferred Stock Plan for certain key employees that enables participants in the plan to defer receipt of ownership of common shares from the exercise of non-qualified stock options. The minimum deferral period is five years. As of September 30, 2001, receipt of 1,697,100 shares was deferred under the terms of this plan. The rights to receive these shares, represented by common stock units, are included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as common stock equivalents. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company accounts for its stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements for employee stock arrangements. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and net income per share as if the Company adopted the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based awards as of the beginning of fiscal 1996. The fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN -------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 2001 2000 1999 ------------- ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------ Expected life (years) 2 - 5 2 - 6 1.5 - 6 0.25 0.25 0.25 Expected volatility 57% 55% 50% 41 - 49% 42 - 82% 44 - 66% Risk-free interest rate 2.37 - 5.90% 5.65 - 6.87% 4.60 - 6.21% 2.35 - 4.68% 5.97 - 6.40% 4.26 - 5.63% Expected dividend yield 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 0.00%
The Company's valuations are based upon a multiple option valuation approach and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock-price volatility. The Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. 25 As required by SFAS No. 123, the Company has determined that the weighted average estimated fair values of options granted during fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $8.98, $5.37 and $4.43 per share, respectively. Had compensation costs for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been accounted for using the fair value method of accounting described by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except earnings per share):
PRO FORMA UNDER SFAS FISCAL YEAR ENDED AS REPORTED NO. 123 ----------------- ----------- ---------- September 30, 2001: Net earnings $181,210 $140,675 Net earnings per common share: Basic $ 0.48 $ 0.37 Diluted $ 0.46 $ 0.36 October 1, 2000: Net earnings $ 94,564 $ 66,241 Net earnings per common share: Basic $ 0.25 $ 0.18 Diluted $ 0.24 $ 0.17 October 3, 1999: Net earnings $101,693 $ 75,326 Net earnings per common share: Basic $ 0.28 $ 0.21 Diluted $ 0.27 $ 0.20
In applying SFAS No. 123, the impact of outstanding stock options granted prior to 1996 has been excluded from the pro forma calculations; accordingly, the 2000 and 1999 pro forma adjustments are not necessarily indicative of future period pro forma adjustments. DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS Starbucks maintains voluntary defined contribution plans covering eligible employees as defined in the plan documents. Participating employees may elect to defer and contribute a percentage of their compensation to the plan, not to exceed the dollar amount set by law. For certain plans, the Company matches 25% of each employee's eligible contribution up to a maximum of the first 4% of each employee's compensation. The Company's matching contributions to the plans were approximately $1.6 million, $1.1 million and $0.9 million for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate with the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:
Fiscal year ended Sept 30, 2001 Oct 1, 2000 Oct 3, 1999 ----------------- ------------- ----------- ----------- Statutory rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 3.8 3.7 3.7 Valuation allowance change from prior year 0.9 3.5 -- Other, net (2.4) (1.1) (0.7) ---- ---- ---- Effective tax rate 37.3% 41.1% 38.0%
26 The provision for income taxes consists of the following (in thousands):

Deferred income taxes or (tax benefits) reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts as measured for tax purposes. The Company will establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain. As a result of losses from investments in majority owned foreign subsidiaries and Internet-related companies, the Company established valuation allowances of $3.0 million and $5.7 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, respectively. The tax effect of temporary differences and carryforwards that cause significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities is as follows (in thousands):
Sept 30, 2001 Oct 1, 2000 ------------- ----------- Deferred tax assets: Loss on investments $ 23,666 $ 22,635 Accrued rent 12,317 10,321 Accrued compensation and related costs 9,898 9,212 Other accrued expenses 7,245 5,957 Other 13,382 10,313 -------- -------- Total 66,508 58,438 Valuation allowance (8,704) (5,659) -------- -------- Total deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance 57,804 52,779 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation (39,466) (36,249) Investments in joint ventures (4,614) (4,616) Other (988) (4,020) -------- -------- Total (45,068) (44,885) Net deferred tax asset/(liability) $ 12,736 $ 7,894
Taxes currently payable of $50.3 million and $17.9 million are included in "Accrued taxes" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, respectively. 27 NOTE 15: EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table represents the calculation of net earnings per common share -- basic (in thousands, except earnings per share):

The following table represents the calculation of net earnings per common and common equivalent share -- diluted (in thousands, except earnings per share):
Fiscal year ended Sept 30, 2001 Oct 1, 2000 Oct 3, 1999 ----------------- ------------- ----------- ----------- Net earnings $181,210 $ 94,564 $101,693 Weighted average common shares and common stock units outstanding 380,566 371,191 363,683 Dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options 13,783 14,808 13,379 -------- -------- -------- Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding 394,349 385,999 377,062 -------- -------- -------- Net earnings per common and common equivalent share - diluted $ 0.46 $ 0.24 $ 0.27
Options with exercise prices greater than the average market price were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. These options totaled 0.9 million, 0.3 million and 0.6 million for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. NOTE 16: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In connection with various bank loans entered into by Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd., the Company has guaranteed $13.6 million of the outstanding debt in the event of default by Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. On June 20, 2001, and July 2, 2001, two purported class action lawsuits against the Company entitled James Carr, et.al. v. Starbucks Corporation and Olivia Shields, et.al. v. Starbucks Corporation were filed in the Superior Courts of California, Alameda and Los Angeles Counties, respectively. Each lawsuit subsequently was removed to the United States District Court, Northern District of California and Central District of California, respectively. Each of the lawsuits was filed by two plaintiffs who are current or former store managers and assistant store managers on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated store managers, assistant store managers and retail management trainees. The lawsuits allege that the Company improperly classified such employees as exempt under California's wage and hour laws and seek damages, restitution, reclassification and attorneys fees and costs. Starbucks is vigorously investigating and defending this litigation and is also pursuing alternative dispute resolution possibilities with the plaintiffs. Because the cases are in the very early stages, the financial impact to the Company, if any, cannot be predicted. In addition to the California lawsuits described above, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, but it is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. 28 NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 10, 2001, the Company sold 30,000 of its existing shares of Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. ("Starbucks Japan") at approximately $495.00 per share, net of related costs. In connection with this sale, the Company received cash proceeds of $15 million. The Company's ownership interest in Starbucks Japan was reduced from 50.0% to 47.5% following the sale of the aforementioned shares. The Company recorded a gain from this sale of $13 million. Also on October 10, 2001, Starbucks Japan issued and sold 220,000 shares of common stock at approximately $495.00 per share, net of related costs, in an initial public offering in Japan. In connection with this offering, the Company's ownership interest in Starbucks Japan was reduced from 47.5% to 40.1%. The Company recorded a credit to shareholders' equity of $39 million, reflecting the increase in value of its share of the net assets of Starbucks Japan related to the stock offering. NOTE 18: SEGMENT REPORTING The Company is organized into a number of business units which correspond to the Company's operating segments. The Company's North American retail business unit sells coffee and other beverages, whole bean coffees, complementary food, hardware and merchandise through Company-operated retail stores in the United States and Canada. At the beginning of fiscal 2001, the Company combined its foodservice and domestic retail store licensing operations to form the Business Alliances business unit. As a result of this internal reorganization and the manner in which the operations of foodservice and domestic retail store licensing are measured and evaluated as one combined business unit, the Company's management determined that separate segment reporting of Business Alliances is appropriate under SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." All prior period disclosures are restated as if Business Alliances had always been a separately reported segment. The Company operates through several other business units, each of which is managed and evaluated independently. These operations include international retail store licensing agreements, grocery channel licensing agreements, warehouse club accounts, direct-to-consumer marketing channels, joint ventures, international Company-operated retail stores and other initiatives related to the Company's core businesses. Revenues from these segments include both sales to unaffiliated customers and sales between segments, which are accounted for on a basis consistent with sales to unaffiliated customers. Intersegment revenues, consisting primarily of product sales to subsidiaries and equity method investees, and other intersegment transactions have been eliminated on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. Operating income represents earnings before "Interest and other income, net," "Internet-related investment losses" and "Income taxes." No allocations of overhead, interest or income taxes are made to the segments. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used in the Company's operations in each segment. General corporate assets include cash and investments, unallocated assets of the corporate headquarters and roasting facilities, deferred taxes and certain intangibles. Management evaluates performance of the segments based on direct product sales and operating costs. 29 The tables below present information by operating segment (in thousands):

31 MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of Starbucks Corporation is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial statements included in this Annual Report to Shareholders. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management's best judgment where necessary. Financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report is consistent with these financial statements. Management maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with proper authorization, that transactions are properly recorded in the Company's records, that assets are safeguarded and that accountability for assets is maintained. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost of maintaining our system of internal accounting controls should not exceed benefits expected to be derived from the system. Internal controls and procedures are periodically reviewed and revised, when appropriate, due to changing circumstances and requirements. Independent auditors are appointed by the Company's Board of Directors and ratified by the Company's shareholders to audit the financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and to independently assess the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Their report appears in this Annual Report. The Audit Committee, all of whose members are outside directors, is responsible for monitoring the Company's accounting and reporting practices. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the independent auditors to ensure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities. The independent auditors have full and free access to the Committee without the presence of management to discuss the results of their audits, the adequacy of internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting. /s/ ORIN C. SMITH /s/ MICHAEL CASEY ORIN C. SMITH MICHAEL CASEY president and executive vice president, chief executive officer chief financial officer and chief administrative officer STARBUCKS CORPORATION We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Starbucks Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starbucks Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2001, and October 1, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Seattle, Washington December 4, 2001 32 SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION MARKET INFORMATION AND DIVIDEND POLICY The Company's common stock is traded on the National Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
