Annual Report Project Starbucks Blake Hersch ACG2021 Sec. 080

Executive Summary Starbucks main business is to purchase, roast and sell premium coffees in its company-run retail outlets Starbucks continues to grow earnings per share in the short term, and still has long- term growth opportunities. However, the company is likely to face increasing store operating costs as a result of increasing labor costs. Additionally, domestic store openings and same store sales are likely to level off. As the domestic retail business is starting to mature, the company is focusing more on international expansion and domestic specialty sales. ANNUAL REPORT

Statement of Cash Flows Total cash flow for Starbucks over the past two years has been more that its net income. Their spending in investments, such as buildings and inventory, is helping Starbucks reach their goal of expanding their franchise to numerous locations all over the world. Starbucks activity in selling stock and overall financing has been decreasing over the past three years; but their main source of financing would have to be borrowing. While investing activities are decreasing and operating activities are increasing, the overall cash flow for Starbucks is increasing.

Accounting Policies The accounting process for this business is fairly uncomplicated. The company leases its retail locations, distribution facilities and office space. Minimum future payments under these contracts are not that different than the company has paid in the past. The company is currently debt free, and inventory levels have traditionally been well managed by the company since its coffee bean products are perishable. As of June, 2002, Starbucks had not made any material changes in financial accounting methods, estimates or timing. Notes of Financial Statements Income Statement Balance Sheet Cash Flow
