                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Starbucks Corporation
Seattle, Washington

We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheets of
Starbucks Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 28, 1997,
and September 29, 1996, and the related supplemental consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended September 28, 1997. The supplemental financial statements give
retroactive effect to the merger of Seattle Coffee Holdings Limited ("Seattle
Coffee"), with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Starbucks Corporation on
May 28, 1998, which has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests as
described in Notes 1 and 2 to the supplemental financial statements. These
supplemental financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplemental
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the supplemental 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 supplemental
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such supplemental consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starbucks
Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 28, 1997, and September 29, 1996,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended September 28, 1997, after giving retroactive effect to
the merger between Starbucks Corporation and subsidiaries and Seattle Coffee as
described in Notes 1 and 2, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                              STARBUCKS CORPORATION
             NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1997, SEPTEMBER 29, 1996, AND OCTOBER 1, 1995)


Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The supplemental consolidated financial statements as of
and for the periods ending September 28, 1997, September 29, 1996 and October 1,
1995 have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation ("Starbucks" or the "Company")
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). As described in Note 2, on May 28, 1998, the Company acquired all
of the equity interests of Seattle Coffee Holdings Limited ("Seattle Coffee").
These supplemental consolidated financial statements have been prepared under
the pooling of interests method of accounting and reflect the combined financial
position and operating results of Starbucks and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
including Seattle Coffee, for all periods presented. These supplemental
consolidated financial statements will become the historical financial
statements of the Company when the Company issues its financial statements for
the third fiscal quarter of 1998. Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures
are accounted for under the equity method. Material intercompany transactions
during the periods covered by these supplemental consolidated financial
statements have been eliminated.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Starbucks purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean
coffees and sells them, along with a variety of coffee beverages, pastries,
confections, and coffee-related accessories and equipment, primarily through
Company-operated and licensed retail stores located throughout the United
States, in parts of Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Pacific Rim. In addition
to sales through its Company-owned retail stores, the Company sells primarily
whole bean coffees through a specialty sales group and a direct response
business. Starbucks, through its joint venture partnerships, also produces and
sells bottled FrappuccinoTM coffee drink and a line of premium coffee ice
creams.

FISCAL YEAR END. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to
September 30. Fiscal years 1997, 1996, and 1995 each had 52 weeks.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles 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" in the accompanying financial statements.

INVESTMENTS. The Company's investments consist primarily of investment-grade
marketable debt securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale
and recorded at fair value as defined below. Unrealized holding gains and losses
are recorded, net of any tax effect, as a component of retained earnings.

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 is based upon the quoted market price on the last business day
of the fiscal year plus accrued interest, if any. The fair value and amortized
cost of the Company's investments (short- and long-term) at September 28, 1997,
were 

                                      F-8
<PAGE>   9

$88.7 million and $88.6 million, respectively. The fair value and amortized cost
of the Company's short-term investments at September 29, 1996, were $103.2
million and $99.9 million, respectively. For further detail on investments, see
Note 4. The fair value of the Company's 4-1/4% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2002 (see Note 8) is based on the quoted market price on the last
business day of the fiscal year. As of September 28, 1997, the fair value and
principal amount of the 4-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2002 were
$294.6 million and $165.0 million, respectively. The fair value and principal
amount of these Debentures at September 29, 1996, were $248.0 million and $165.0
million, respectively.

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 three to seven years for equipment and 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". When
facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of long-lived assets may be
impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the carrying
value of the asset to projected future cash flows. 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.

HEDGING AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Company, from time to time, enters into
futures contracts to hedge price-to-be-established coffee purchase commitments
with the objective of minimizing cost risk due to market fluctuations. The
Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. In
accordance with SFAS 80 "Accounting for Futures Contracts," these futures
contracts meet the hedge criteria and are accounted for as hedges. Gains and
losses are calculated based on the difference between the cost basis and the
market value of the coffee contracts. Accordingly, gains and losses are deferred
and recognized as adjustments to the carrying amount of coffee inventory when
purchased, and recognized in results of operations as coffee products are sold.
The market risk related to coffee futures is substantially offset by changes in
the cost of coffee purchased. The Company did not purchase or sell futures
contracts during fiscal 1997, 1996, or 1995.

ADVERTISING. The Company expenses costs of advertising the first time the
advertising campaign takes place, except for direct response advertising, which
is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefit. Direct
response advertising consists primarily of mail order catalog costs and customer
retention program costs. Catalog costs are amortized over the period from the
catalog mailing until the issuance of the next catalog, typically three months.
Customer retention program costs are amortized over six months.

STORE PREOPENING EXPENSES. Costs incurred in connection with 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. Rent expenses are recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accumulated foreign currency translation
relates to the Company's operations in Canada and the United Kingdom. Assets and
liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date
and income and expense accounts at the average exchange rates during the year.
Resulting translation adjustments are recorded directly to a separate component
of shareholders' equity.


                                      F-9

<PAGE>   10

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.

EARNINGS PER SHARE. The computation of basic earnings per share, in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 128 "Earnings per
Share," is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. The numbers of shares resulting from this computation for
fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995 were 79.6 million, 74.7 million, and 68.9 million,
respectively.

The computation of diluted earnings per share, in accordance with SFAS 128,
includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of certain
shares subject to stock options for both Starbucks and Seattle Coffee during the
year using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per
share also assumes conversion of the Company's convertible subordinated
debentures using the "if converted" method, when such securities are dilutive,
with net income adjusted for the after-tax interest expense and amortization of
issuance costs applicable to these debentures. The numbers of shares resulting
from this computation for fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995 were 90.2 million, 80.9
million, and 71.3 million, respectively. All periods presented have been
calculated in accordance with SFAS 128.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components (revenue, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. The Company will adopt SFAS 130 in fiscal
1999.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public companies
report information about operating segments. The Company will adopt SFAS 131 in
fiscal 1999. This statement, which is based on the management approach to
segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment
information quarterly and to report entity-wide disclosures about products and
services, major customers, and the major countries in which the Company holds
assets and reports revenues.

Management believes that the adoption of these new standards will not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications of prior years' balances have been
made to conform to the fiscal 1997 presentation.


Note 2: Seattle Coffee

On May 28, 1998, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Seattle
Coffee, a United Kingdom roaster/retailer of specialty coffee, in exchange for
1,817,894 shares of Starbucks common stock.

The business combination transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The
pooling-of-interests method of accounting is intended to present as a single
interest two or more common shareholders' interests which were previously
independent; accordingly, the historical financial statements for the periods
prior to the business combination are restated as though the companies had been
combined. The restated financial statements are adjusted to conform the
accounting policies and fiscal reporting periods to Starbucks accounting
policies and fiscal reporting periods.

                                      F-10

<PAGE>   11

This transaction is expected to result in one-time transaction and other related
after-tax charges of approximately $0.14 per share in the third fiscal quarter
of 1998.

The following table compares amounts previously reported by Starbucks prior to
the transaction with combined amounts for fiscal 1997 and 1996. Fiscal 1995
results have not been restated, as Seattle Coffee results of operations were not
material to the combined totals (in thousands, except earnings per share):

All investments are classified as available-for-sale as of September 28, 1997
and September 29, 1996. Securities with remaining maturity dates of one year or
less are classified as short-term investments. Securities with remaining
maturity dates beyond one year are classified as long-term and are included in
the line item "Joint ventures and other investments" in the accompanying balance
sheets. The specific identification method is used to determine a cost basis for
computing realized gains and losses.

During fiscal 1995, the Company invested $11.3 million in cash for shares of
Noah's New York Bagel, Inc. ("Noah's") Series B Preferred Stock. On February 1,
1996, Noah's merged with Einstein Brothers Bagels, Inc. In exchange for its
investment in Noah's, the Company received $20.6 million in cash and recognized
a $9.2 million pre-tax gain ($5.7 million net of tax) on the transaction.

In fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, proceeds from the sale of investment securities
were $9.3 million, $17.1 million, and $27.7 million, respectively. Gross
realized gains and losses were not material in 1997, 1996, and 1995 except for
the sale of Noah's stock, which occurred in fiscal 1996.

As of September 28, 1997, the Company had fixed price inventory purchase
commitments for green coffee totaling approximately $54 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 remote.

Note 6: Joint Ventures and Other Investments

JOINT VENTURES. Starbucks has entered into several joint ventures, all of which
are accounted for using the equity method. The Company's share of joint venture
income or losses is included in "Other operating expenses."

The Company has domestic joint ventures with two companies to produce and
distribute Starbucks branded coffee-related products. During fiscal 1994, the
Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture and partnership agreement (the
"Partnership Agreement") with Pepsi-Cola Company ("Pepsi") to develop
ready-to-drink coffee-based beverages. During fiscal 1996, the Company modified
the Partnership Agreement to revise the allocation of start-up risks and
expenses between partners. Also during fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a
50/50 joint venture agreement with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. to develop and
distribute premium coffee ice creams.

Note 8: Convertible Subordinated Debentures

During fiscal 1993, the Company issued $80.5 million in principal amount of
4 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2003. On April 12, 1996, the
Company called these debentures for redemption. The total principal amount
converted, net of unamortized issue costs, accrued but unpaid interest, and
costs of conversion was credited to common stock.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company issued approximately $165.0
million in principal amount of 4 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due
2002 (the "Debentures"). Net proceeds to the Company were approximately $161.0
million. Interest was payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The
Debentures were convertible into common stock of the Company at a price of
$23.25, subject to adjustment under certain conditions, and were redeemable on
or after November 10, 1997 at the option of the Company, at specified redemption
prices and subject to certain conditions. Costs incurred in connection with the
issuance of the Debentures were included in "Deposits and other assets" and were
amortized on a straight-line basis over the seven-year period to maturity.

On October 21, 1997, the Company called the Debentures for redemption.
Substantially all of these Debentures were converted into approximately 7.1
million shares of the Company's common stock prior to the redemption date.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. During fiscal 1995, the Company implemented an
employee stock purchase plan. The Company's plan provides that eligible
employees may contribute up to 10% of their base earnings toward the quarterly
purchase of the Company's common stock up to $25,000 of 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. No compensation expense is recorded in connection with the
plan. The total number of shares issuable under the plan is 4,000,000. There
were 92,971 shares issued under the plan during fiscal 1997 at prices ranging
from $23.59 to $25.71. There were 89,373 shares issued under the plan during
fiscal 1996 at prices ranging from $15.99 to $24.65. There were 17,424 shares
issued under the plan during fiscal 1995 at a price of $15.09. Of the 14,583
employees eligible to participate, 2,549 were participants in the plan as of
September 28, 1997.

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.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123") requires the disclosure of pro forma net income
(loss) and net income (loss) per share as if the Company adopted the fair value
method 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:

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. Because the Company's employee
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective 


                                      F-17
<PAGE>   18

input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

As required by SFAS 123, the Company has determined that the weighted average
estimated fair values of options granted during fiscal 1997 and 1996 were $10.85
and $5.64 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 123, the Company's net income and earnings per
share would have been as follows (in thousands, except earnings per share):

In applying SFAS 123, the impact of outstanding non-vested stock options granted
prior to 1996 has been excluded from the pro forma calculations; accordingly,
the 1997 and 1996 pro forma adjustments are not 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. The
Company matches 25% of each employee's contribution up to a maximum of the first
4% of each employee's compensation.

The Company's matching contributions to the plans were approximately $0.6
million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million for fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively.

DEFERRED STOCK PLAN. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
adopted 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.

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies

Under the amended terms of the Company's corporate office lease, the Company
provides financing to the building owner to be used exclusively for facilities
and leasehold development costs to accommodate the Company. Under this
agreement, the Company advanced approximately $3.6 million, $4.3 million and
$0.3 million during fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. As of September
28, 1997 and September 29, 1996, the amounts outstanding under the agreement


                                      F-19


<PAGE>   20

totaled $8.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included
in "Deposits and other assets" on the balance sheet. The maximum amount
available under the agreement is $17.0 million. Any funds advanced by the
Company will be repaid with interest at 9.5% over a term not to exceed 20 years.

During fiscal 1997, the Company, through its Seattle Coffee subsidiary, entered
into a financing arrangement for a line of credit for $5.0 million, an overdraft
facility of $0.8 million and a rental guarantee of $0.5 million. As of September
28, 1997, the amount outstanding on the line of credit of $2.8 million is
included in "Accounts payable" on the balance sheet. Upon completion of the
acquisition of Seattle Coffee, the amount outstanding on the line of credit was
repaid.

In the normal course of business, the Company has various legal claims and other
contingent matters outstanding. Management believes that any ultimate liability
arising from these actions would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition as of and for the fiscal
year ended September 28, 1997.


Note 14: Related Party Transactions

An employee director of the Company serves as chairman of a wholesale customer
of the Company. Sales to this customer were $31.0 million, $22.7 million, and
$18.5 million for fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Amounts receivable
from this customer totaled $4.6 million and $2.7 million as of September 28,
1997 and September 29, 1996, respectively.

                              STARBUCKS CORPORATION

             NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         For the 13 Weeks Ended December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996


Note 1:  Financial Statement Preparation

The supplemental consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 1997 and
September 28, 1997 and for the 13-week periods ended December 28, 1997 and
December 29, 1996 have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation ("Starbucks" or
the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As described in Note 2, on May 28, 1998, the
Company acquired all of the equity interests of Seattle Coffee Holdings Limited
("Seattle Coffee"). These supplemental consolidated financial statements have
been prepared under the pooling of interests method of accounting and reflect
the combined financial position and operating results of Starbucks and its
wholly owned subsidiaries including, Seattle Coffee, for all periods presented.
The financial information for the 13-week periods ended December 28, 1997 and
December 29, 1996 is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflects all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 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 28, 1997, is derived from the
Company's audited supplemental consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended September 28, 1997 included in this Registration
Statement, 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 periods ended December 28, 1997, are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for
the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 1998.

Note 2:  Seattle Coffee

On May 28, 1998, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Seattle
Coffee, a United Kingdom roaster/retailer of specialty coffee, in exchange for
1,817,894 shares of Starbucks common stock.

The business combination transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The
pooling-of-interests method of accounting is intended to present as a single
interest two or more common shareholders' interests which were previously
independent; accordingly, the historical financial statements for the periods
prior to the business combination are restated as though the companies had been
combined. The restated financial statements are adjusted to conform the
accounting policies and fiscal reporting periods to Starbucks accounting
policies and fiscal reporting periods.


This transaction is expected to result in one-time transaction and other related
after-tax charges of approximately $0.14 per share in the third fiscal quarter
of 1998.

Note 3:  Earnings Per Share

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128 "Earnings per Share." The computation
of basic earnings per share, in accordance with SFAS 128, is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
computation of diluted earnings per share, in accordance with SFAS 128, also
includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting primarily of
certain shares subject to stock options. The computation of diluted earnings per
share assumes conversion of the Company's convertible subordinated debentures
using the "if converted" method, when such securities are dilutive, with net
income adjusted for the after-tax interest expense and amortization of issuance
costs applicable to these debentures. All periods presented have been calculated
in accordance with SFAS 128.

Note 6:  Convertible Subordinated Debentures

On October 21, 1997, the Company called for redemption its 4 1/4% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures Due 2002. Substantially all of these debentures were
converted into the Company's common stock prior to the redemption date. The
total principal amount converted, net of unamortized issue costs, accrued but
unpaid interest, and costs of conversion, was credited to common stock.

Note 7:  Deferred Stock Plan

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted 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. During the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, receipt of 424,275 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.

                              STARBUCKS CORPORATION

             NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      For the 13 Weeks and 26 Weeks Ended March 29, 1998 and March 30, 1997

Note 1:  Financial Statement Preparation

The supplemental consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 1998 and
September 28, 1997 and for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended March 29, 1998
and March 30, 1997 have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation ("Starbucks" or
the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As described in Note 2, on May 28, 1998, the
Company acquired all of the equity interests of Seattle Coffee Holdings Limited
("Seattle Coffee"). These supplemental consolidated financial statements have
been prepared under the pooling of interests method of accounting and reflect
the combined financial position and operating results of Starbucks and its
wholly owned subsidiaries including, Seattle Coffee, for all periods presented.
The financial information for the 13-week and 26-week periods ended March 29,
1998 and March 30, 1997 is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management,
reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 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 28, 1997, is derived from the
Company's audited supplemental consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended September 28, 1997 included in this Registration
Statement, 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 29,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
achieved for the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 1998.

Note 2:  Seattle Coffee

On May 28, 1998, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Seattle
Coffee, a United Kingdom roaster/retailer of specialty coffee, in exchange for
1,817,894 shares of Starbucks common stock.

The business combination transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The
pooling-of-interests method of accounting is intended to present as a single
interest two or more common shareholders' interests which were previously
independent; accordingly, the historical financial statements for the periods
prior to the business combination are restated as though the companies had been
combined. The restated financial statements are adjusted to conform the
accounting policies and fiscal reporting periods to Starbucks accounting
policies and fiscal reporting periods.

This transaction is expected to result in one-time transaction and other related
after-tax charges of approximately $0.14 per share in the third fiscal quarter
of 1998.

Note 3:  Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 128 "Earnings per Share," is based on
the weighted average number of common shares and common stock units outstanding
during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share, in accordance
with SFAS 128, includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents
consisting of certain shares subject to stock options. The computation of
diluted earnings per share also assumes conversion of the Company's convertible
subordinated debentures using the "if converted" method, when such securities
are dilutive, with net income adjusted for the after-tax interest expense and
amortization of issuance costs applicable to these debentures. The convertible
subordinated debentures were converted to equity in the first quarter of fiscal
1998. All periods presented have been calculated in accordance with SFAS 128.


Note 4:  Deferred Stock Plan

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company adopted 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. During the first quarter of
fiscal 1998, receipt of 424,275 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.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

As of March 29, 1998, the Company had fixed price purchase commitments for green
coffee totaling approximately $55 million.

The Company, from time to time, enters into futures contracts to hedge
price-to-be-established coffee purchase commitments with the objective of
minimizing cost risk due to market fluctuations. The Company does not hold or
issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. In accordance with SFAS 80
"Accounting for Futures Contracts," these futures contracts meet the hedge
criteria and are accounted for as hedges. Gains and losses are calculated based
on the difference between the cost basis and the market value of the coffee
contracts. Accordingly, gains and losses are deferred and recognized as
adjustments to the carrying amount of coffee inventory when purchased, and
recognized in results of operations as coffee products are sold. The market risk
related to coffee futures is substantially offset by changes in the cost of
coffee purchased. The aggregate commitment underlying the Company's futures
contracts and deferred losses from the hedged coffee were immaterial as of March
29, 1998. Such losses in fair value, if realized, would be offset by lower costs
of coffee purchased during the remainder of fiscal 1998 and 1999.
