AUDITORS' REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Starbucks Corporation
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Starbucks Corporation and subsidiaries
(the ""Company'') as of October 2, 2005, and October 3, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended October 2,
2005. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). 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 October 2, 2005, and October 3, 2004, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended October 2, 2005,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 2,
2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control Ì Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated December 16, 2005 expressed an
unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting and an unqualified opinion of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
