STARBUCKS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the 13 Weeks and 26 Weeks Ended March 30, 2003 and March 31, 2002

Note 1: Financial Statement Preparation

The consolidated financial statements as of March 30, 2003, and March 31, 2002, and for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended March 30, 2003, and March 31, 2002, have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The financial information for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended March 30, 2003, and March 31, 2002, is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.

The financial information as of September 29, 2002, is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 29, 2002, included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements.

Certain reclassifications of prior year’s balances have been made to conform to the current format.

The results of operations for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended March 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending September 28, 2003.

Investment Accounting Change

In March 2003, Starbucks announced plans to acquire its licensed operations in Austria and Switzerland from its business partner, Bon appétit Group. This acquisition, which is expected to be completed in the Company’s fiscal third quarter, is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s fiscal 2003 financial results.

Due to the Company’s recent ability to exert significant influence over operating and financial policies, management determined that a change in accounting method, from the cost method to the equity method, was required. Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” requires prior period information to be adjusted for the retroactive application of the equity method for the Company’s 19.5% share of net losses.

As shown in the table below, the change to the equity method resulted in a $1.6 million reduction of net earnings for the 13 weeks ended December 29, 2002, and reductions of net earnings for the effects of the accounting change prior to fiscal 2003 of $2.3 million and $0.8 million for the 52 weeks ended September 29, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively (in thousands, except earnings per share):
