2Executive Summary
- Starbucks Corporation, since its start, has been
steadily growing every year. Each fiscal year,
the company expands its enterprise to more
locations around the world and produces new and
unique products for consumers. The companys
paramount goal is to become the most respected

fulfill this goal, Starbucks plans to continue to
expand, to develop new products, and to discover

Starbucks is not only concerned with making the
most profits but they are also concerned about
the wellbeing of their stakeholders, which is
what I believe makes the company such a success. - Annual Report Fiscal Year 2005

4Audit Report
- Name of the companys independent auditors
Deloitte and Touche - According to Deloitte and Touche, the
corporations consolidated financial statements
were compiled and presented accurately by using
the universally accepted accounting process. It
was concluded that, from observing the companys
stock market activity that dividends have never
been paid on its common stock and that the
company has the intention of keeping the use of
its retained earnings within the business. In
reference to Starbucks Corporate Social
Responsibility, the auditors reflect the same
ideas that are the basis of the companys 2005
Fiscal Year CSR Annual Report. These ideas convey
that Starbucks, while spearheading the coffee
industry, stays committed to building the company
while ensuring that benefits reach their
stakeholders. Starbucks is not only concerned
with generating revenue but their paramount goal
is to positively impact the people and places
surrounding the company socially, economically,
and environmentally.

- Most recent price of the companys stock 34.05
per share - Twelve month trading range of the companys stock
of past two fiscal years
According to the experts, the price per share is
projected to increase steadily. This stock is a
good investment if the investor is looking for
long term activity, but at the moment it looks
like selling is the best option for short term

6Industry Situation and Company Plans
- Starbucks coffee is a part of the special
eateries industry. This particular industry is
relatively small in reference to the companies it
includes. Companies such as Panera Bread, Caribou
Coffee Company and Tim Hortons Inc., examples of
other names seen in this industry
(www.bizyahoo.com). This industry is one that is
relatively elastic being that peoples incomes,
tastes and preferences affect the demand of the
good. The prosperity of this industry depends
somewhat on consumer goods and how badly they
want the product. On the flip-sde, the industry,
particularly coffee, depends on many other
factors that include climate and its affect on
the supplies needed to produce coffee. -
- The outlook on the prosperity of Starbucks for
the future is a very positive one. The company
has many plans for the next fiscal year and
because of the companys ongoing success, those
plans will most likely become a reality. In
fiscal 2005, Starbucks expanded their
international activity in countries including
Jordan, the Bahamas and Ireland. In the upcoming
year the company plans for future growth in
countries including Brazil, India and Russia that
will contribute to the projected opening of 1800
new stores. Starbucks expects a 20 increase in
annual net revenue growth for the next 3-5 years.
Starbucks, however, does not just focus on
financial success. The company strives to build
positive partnerships with its suppliers, coffee
farmers, customers and surrounding environment.
7Income Statement

There have only been increases in these amounts.
If Starbucks uses its retained earnings to build
their company and the industry remains the
same, the company should continue to prosper.

confirms that Starbucks is a growing corporation
