Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to determine the amount of Starbucksaccumulated depreciation at October 2, 2011. Since the accumulated depreciation is not recorded on their balance statement after property, plant and equipment, how do I go about determining this amount?

Thank you,

Carol

Dear Shareholders, On almost every level, scal 2011 was a remarkable year for Starbucks. Our global business delivered the highest levels of service to our customers, a truly rewarding experience to our partners (employees), and a record-level performance to shareholders. As of the end of calendar 2011, Starbucks stock price had increased 43 percent from a year earlier. What's more, we achieved this success without losing sight of our core values. I cannot think of a more authentic way to have honored our 40th Anniversary than by living up to our long-held mission of balancing protability with a social conscience. This is such a powerful coupling, and I say with condence that Starbucks has never been so well positioned for protable growth. Last year, I wrote to you that the company's improved operational foundation, invigorated innovative muscle, and heightened customer relevance presented us with an opportunity to build a different kind of organization. One that would leverage and extend our strengths both inside and outside our stores. I am pleased to report that in scal 2011 we delivered. During the past year global revenues reached a record $11.7 billion, an 11 percent increase on a comparable 52-week basis. That revenue growth was driven by an 8 percent rise in global comparable store sales as Starbucks stores welcomed more visitors than ever beforeapproximately 60 million each weekand by growth in CPG revenues. By leveraging efciencies and tightly managing spend, we owed sales increases through to the bottom line, setting new records for operating income of $1.7 billion, up 22 percent, as well as for consolidated operating margin, which was 14.8 percent, up 150 basis points from last year. We ended scal 2011 with record earnings per share of $1.62, up 31 percent from last year's $1.24 per share. Through share repurchases and dividends, we returned approximately $945 million to shareholders, more than doubling the amount returned in scal 2010. It is signicant that we achieved these results against the backdrop of stubbornly higher commodity costs and a difcult global economy. Our momentum is also worth noting, as fourth-quarter global same-store sales grew at a rate not seen since 2006. This strong performance is attributable to our unique business model, which continues to leverage our emotional connection to consumers, our global retail footprint, our diversied CPG channel distribution capabilities and ongoing innovation across all areas. Breakout, Relevant Innovation in Coffee, CPG and the Customer Experience In 2011, we continued to evolve into a truly dynamic global organization, offering a portfolio of products to serve customers in our retail stores, at home, at work, on the go and online. Coffee remains our core and continues to drive our global business, and last year we launched fantastic new products while dramatically improving the ways in which those products reach customers. Our evolving channel-development strategy continues to extend our portfolio of branded products. Among our most signicant moves in 2011 was transitioning our packaged coffee business in-house to a direct distribution model, allowing us to take control of our powerful relationship with grocery, drugstore, club and other sales channels. In addition, our continued growth of Starbucks VIA Ready Brew and scal 2012 launch of K-Cup packs position us to lead in the multibillion-dollar single-cup category. By the end of December, more than 103 million Starbucks K-Cup packs had already been shipped to U.S. food, drug, mass, club and specialty retailers. Meanwhile, Starbucks VIA continued its acceleration, with an expanded platform of Starbucks VIA branded products at 70,000 points of distribution generating $250 million in systemwide sales in scal 2011, a remarkable achievement for a product less than two years old. In these ways and more, scal 2011 was a breakout year for CPG, which remains on track to one day rival the protability of our retail business. In our stores, new products continued to generate excitement as well as sales. Personalized Frappuccino blended beverages launched across the globe, and we just introduced Starbucks Blonde Roast in the United States, providing a light roast coffee thatalong with K-Cup packs and Starbucks VIAeach represents another $1 billion opportunity for the company. In food, we answered consumers' desire for more choices with wholesome ingredients by introducing our Bistro Box platform, and response has been strong. Our loyalty program also continues to distinguish us from competitors, with participation in My Starbucks Rewards now reaching more than 3.6 million active members. The 20 million mobile payments made at Starbucks stores in scal 2011plus another six million by December's endwere fueled by our hugely popular Starbucks Card Apps for the Android and iPhone, once again reecting our ability to respond to the constantly changing marketplace in ways that strengthen our connections with customers. Among our most exciting moves in 2011 was our November entrance into the $1.6 billion super-premium juice segment through the acquisition of Evolution Fresh, Inc., which also represents our intentions to more fully enter the $50 billion Health and Wellness sector. I have always believed that effective innovation is about responding to, predicting and creating customers' needs while staying true to our core values. In this regard, Starbucks performed exceptionally well in 2011. Growth on a Global Scale Around the world, our brand continues to resonate and business continues to grow. We ended scal 2011 with more than 17,000 stores in 55 countries. Our U.S. Retail segment delivered against all operating and performance metrics, and outside North America the number of transactions in our stores continued to accelerate, with disciplined execution enabling us to leverage that growth into higher prots. Looking ahead, China remains on track to become Starbucks second home market, where we currently operate more than 500 stores across 44 Chinese cities and plan to open approximately 150 net new stores in 2012. Globally, we plan to open 800 net new stores in 2012including our desire to open our rst Starbucks store in India. Additionally, approximately 1,700 existing stores in the United States will be remodeled, and I encourage you to visit our new Times Square agship store, which is a terric example of our ongoing retail innovation. Finally, our global performance is already being enhanced by our new three-region leadership structure, which applies more focused leadership at the helm of each of the Americas, China and Asia Pacic, and EMEA regions, enabling our partners around the world to drive results more effectively to further our worldwide momentum. Using Scale for Good One way to measure our incredible success this year is certainly the shareholder value we have built. Our balance sheet has never been stronger and our prots never higher. However, I strongly believe that today's times require that companies be evaluated by more well-rounded measures. I still believe that shareholder value must be linked to creating value for a company's people, value for its customers and perhaps now more than evervalue for the communities it serves. Balancing protability and social conscience is as much a part of Starbucks core as coffee. As we continually ask ourselves how we might use our scale for good, we have answered by proactively addressing environmental issues and supporting our partners' volunteer efforts, among many other things. Most recently we have focused on the high unemployment plaguing the United States, and I am proud that, as an organization, Starbucks is doing its part while appropriately supporting our business. We added approximately 3,700 net new jobs last year, and plan another 12,500 globally for 2012. But we can do more. That is why, in association with the Opportunity Finance Network, we launched Create Jobs for USA through which our customers can donate toward restarting the nation's jobs engine through loans to community businesses. In addition to $5 million seeded by The Starbucks Foundation, approximately $2 million has been raised in the rst two months and loans have begun owing to small companies and community businesses across the country. Like Starbucks ethical sourcing, environmental and volunteer efforts, the Create Jobs for USA initiative is right for Starbucks because it authentically reects the times we live in while being relevant to our brand. Thank You Fiscal 2011 was a remarkable year for Starbucks. We powerfully asserted our coffee authority across multiple channels while creatively enhancing the food and beverage experience for our customers, further differentiating ourselves from competitors. These feats are, as always, due to the incredible talent of our nearly 200,000 partners, and I thank them for their dedication to bringing value to our customers every day in more ways than ever before. I also thank you, our shareholders, for yet another year of believing in us. Starbucks future has never been brighter. Our foundation never more solid. We are remarkably well positioned to pursue our diversied, multichannel, multibrand business model in the year ahead.

Business General Starbucks is the premier roaster, marketer and retailer of specialty coffee in the world, operating in more than 50 countries. Formed in 1985, Starbucks Corporation's common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (\"NASDAQ\") under the symbol \"SBUX.\" We purchase and roast high-quality whole bean coffees that we sell, along with handcrafted coffee and tea beverages and a variety of fresh food items, through company-operated stores. We also sell a variety of coffee and tea products and license our trademarks through other channels such as licensed stores, grocery and national foodservice accounts. In addition to our flagship Starbucks brand, our portfolio also includes Tazo Tea, Seattle's Best Coffee, and Starbucks VIA Ready Brew. Our objective is to maintain Starbucks standing as one of the most recognized and respected brands in the world. To achieve this goal, we are continuing the disciplined expansion of our store base, primarily focused on growth in countries outside of the US. In addition, by leveraging the experience gained through our traditional store model, we continue to offer consumers new coffee products in multiple forms, across new categories, and through diverse channels. Starbucks Global Responsibility strategy and commitments related to coffee and the communities we do business in, as well as our focus on being an employer of choice, are also key complements to our business strategies. In this Annual Report on Form 10-K (\"10-K\" or \"Report\") for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2011 (\"fiscal 2011\"), Starbucks Corporation (together with its subsidiaries) is referred to as \"Starbucks,\" the \"Company,\" \"we,\" \"us\" or \"our\". Segment Financial Information Starbucks has three reportable operating segments: United States (\"US\"), International, and Global Consumer Products Group (\"CPG\"). Our Seattle's Best Coffee operating segment is reported in \"Other\" with our Digital Ventures business and unallocated corporate expenses that pertain to corporate administrative functions that support our operating segments but are not specifically attributable to or managed by any segment and are not included in the reported financial results of the operating segments. Segment revenues as a percentage of total net revenues for fiscal year 2011 were as follows: US (69%), International (22%), and CPG (7%). The Other category comprised 2% of total net revenues. The US and International segments both include company-operated stores and licensed stores. The International segment also includes foodservice accounts primarily in Canada and the United Kingdom (\"UK\"). Our International segment's largest markets, based on number of company-operated and licensed stores, are Canada, Japan and the UK. The CPG segment includes packaged coffee and tea, Starbucks VIA Ready Brew and other branded products sold worldwide through channels such as grocery stores, warehouse clubs and convenience stores, and US foodservice accounts. Financial information for Starbucks reportable operating segments and Other is included in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this 10-K. Revenue Components We generate our revenues through company-operated stores, licensed stores, consumer packaged goods and foodservice operations. Our consumer packaged goods and foodservice operations include packaged coffee and tea sold in grocery and warehouse club stores, licensing arrangements with business partners to use our brands on various products, and arrangements with foodservice companies that support a variety of locations outside our retail store footprint. 2 Company-operated and Licensed Store Summary as of October 2, 2011 US As a% of Total US Stores International As a% of Total International Stores Total As a% of Total Stores Company-operated stores . . . . .

Company-operated Stores Revenue from company-operated stores accounted for 82% of total net revenues during fiscal 2011. Our retail objective is to be the leading retailer and brand of coffee in each of our target markets by selling the finest quality coffee and related products, and by providing each customer a unique Starbucks Experience. The Starbucks Experience is built upon superior customer service as well as clean and well-maintained company-operated stores that reflect the personalities of the communities in which they operate, thereby building a high degree of customer loyalty. Our strategy for expanding our global retail business is to increase our market share in a disciplined manner, by selectively opening additional stores in new and existing markets, as well as increasing sales in existing stores, to support our long-term strategic objective to maintain Starbucks standing as one of the most recognized and respected brands in the world. Store growth in specific existing markets will vary due to many factors, including the maturity of the market.

To provide a greater degree of access and convenience for non-pedestrian customers, we continue to selectively expand development of drive-thru retail stores. 3 Starbucks stores offer a choice of regular and decaffeinated coffee beverages, a broad selection of Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, iced shaken refreshment beverages, a selection of premium teas, distinctively packaged roasted whole bean coffees, and a variety of Starbucks VIA Ready Brew soluble coffees. Starbucks stores also offer a variety of fresh food items, including selections focusing on high-quality ingredients, nutritional value and great flavor. Food items include pastries, prepared breakfast and lunch sandwiches, oatmeal and salads, as well as juices and bottled water. In addition to being offered in our US and Canada stores, during fiscal 2011, we expanded our food warming program into our stores in China, with over 90% of the stores in these markets providing warm food items as of the end of fiscal 2011. A focused selection of beverage-making equipment and accessories are also sold in the stores. Each Starbucks store varies its product mix depending upon the size of the store and its location. To compliment the in-store experience, in company-operated Starbucks stores in the US, we also provide customers free access to wireless internet.

Starbucks customers in the US can earn free beverages through the My Starbucks Rewards program. Gold Level members earn a free drink after fifteen purchases at participating Starbucks stores. Members also receive free select syrups, milk options and refills on tea or brewed coffee during a store visit. Starbucks Cards are accepted at all company-operated and most licensed stores in North America. The cards are also accepted at a number of international locations. Licensed Stores Product sales to and royalty and license fee revenues from US and International licensed stores accounted for 9% of total revenues in fiscal 2011. In our licensed store operations, we leverage the expertise of our local partners and share our operating and store development experience. Licensees provide improved, and at times the only, access to desirable retail space. Most licensees are prominent retailers with in-depth market knowledge and access. As part of these arrangements, we receive royalties and license fees and sell coffee, tea and related products for resale in licensed locations. Employees working in licensed retail locations are required to follow our detailed store operating procedures and attend training classes similar to those given to employees in company-operated stores. For our Seattle's Best Coffee brand, we use various forms of licensing, including traditional franchising. 4 Starbucks total licensed stores by region and country as of October 2, 2011 are as follows: Asia Pacific Europe/Middle East/Africa Americas Japan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The 557 licensed stores that were closed in the US during fiscal 2011 include 475 Seattle's Best Coffee locations in Borders Bookstores. Internationally, 455 and 335 licensed stores were opened during 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 110 and 100 licensed stores were closed during 2011 and 2010, respectively. Consumer Packaged Goods Consumer packaged goods includes both domestic and international sales of packaged coffee and tea to grocery and warehouse club stores. It also includes revenues from product sales to and licensing revenues from manufacturers that produce and market Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee branded products through licensing agreements. Revenues from sales of packaged coffee and tea comprised 4% of total net revenues in fiscal 2011. In prior years through the first several months of fiscal 2011, we sold a selection of Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee branded packaged coffees and Tazo teas in grocery and warehouse club stores throughout the US and to grocery stores in Canada, the UK and other European countries through a distribution arrangement with Kraft Foods Global, Inc. Kraft managed the distribution, marketing, advertising and promotion of these products as a part of that arrangement. During fiscal 2011, we successfully transitioned these businesses, including the marketing, advertising, and promotion of these products, from our previous distribution arrangement with Kraft and began selling these products directly to the grocery and warehouse club stores. We also sell packaged coffee and tea directly to warehouse club stores in international markets. Revenues from licensing our branded products accounted for 1% of total net revenues in fiscal 2011. We license the rights to produce and market Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee branded products through several partnerships both domestically and internationally. We also sell ingredients to these licensees to manufacturer our branded products. Significant licensing agreements include: The North American Coffee Partnership, a joint venture with the Pepsi-Cola Company in which Starbucks is a 50% equity investor, manufactures and markets ready-to-drink beverages, including bottled Frappuccino beverages and Starbucks DoubleShot espresso drink and Seattle's Best Coffee ready-to-drink espresso beverages in the US and Canada; licensing agreements with Arla, Suntory, and Dong Suh Foods for the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of Starbucks Discoveries, a ready-to-drink chilled cup coffee beverage, in Europe, Japan and South Korea, respectively; a licensing agreement with a partnership formed by Unilever and Pepsi-Cola Company for the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of Starbucks super-premium Tazo Tea beverages in the US; and a licensing agreement with Unilever for the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of Starbucks superpremium ice cream products in the US. 5 Foodservice Revenues from foodservice accounts comprised 4% of total net revenues in fiscal 2011. We sell Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee whole bean and ground coffees, a selection of premium Tazo teas, Starbucks VIA Ready Brew, and other related products to institutional foodservice companies that service business and industry, education, healthcare, office coffee distributors, hotels, restaurants, airlines and other retailers. We also sell our Seattle's Best Coffee through arrangements with national accounts. The majority of the sales in this channel come through national broadline distribution networks with SYSCO Corporation, US FoodserviceTM, and other distributors. Product Supply Starbucks is committed to selling only the finest whole bean coffees and coffee beverages. To ensure compliance with our rigorous coffee standards, we control coffee purchasing, roasting and packaging, and the global distribution of coffee used in our operations. We purchase green coffee beans from multiple coffee-producing regions around the world and custom roast them to our exacting standards, for our many blends and single origin coffees. The price of coffee is subject to significant volatility. Although most coffee trades in the commodity market, highaltitude arabica coffee of the quality sought by Starbucks tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a premium above the \"C\" coffee commodity coffee price. Both the premium and the commodity price depend upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase. Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, including weather, political and economic conditions. Price is also impacted by trading activities in the arabica coffee futures market, including hedge funds and commodity index funds. In addition, green coffee prices have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by the actions of certain organizations and associations that have historically attempted to influence prices of green coffee through agreements establishing export quotas or by restricting coffee supplies. We buy coffee using fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed purchase commitments, depending on market conditions, to secure an adequate supply of quality green coffee. Price-to-be-fixed contracts are purchase commitments whereby the quality, quantity, delivery period, and other negotiated terms are agreed upon, but the date at which the base \"C\" coffee commodity price component will be fixed has not yet been established. For these types of contracts, either Starbucks or the seller has the option to select a date on which to \"fix\" the base \"C\" coffee commodity price prior to the delivery date. Until prices are fixed, we estimate the total cost of these purchase commitments. As of October 2, 2011, we had a total of $1.0 billion in purchase commitments, of which $193 million represented the estimated cost of price-to-be-fixed contracts. All price-to-be-fixed contracts as of October 2, 2011 were at the Company's option to fix the base \"C\" coffee commodity price component. Total purchase commitments, together with existing inventory, are expected to provide an adequate supply of green coffee through fiscal 2012. We depend upon our relationships with coffee producers, outside trading companies and exporters for our supply of green coffee. We believe, based on relationships established with our suppliers, the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote. To help ensure sustainability and future supply of high-quality green coffees and to reinforce our leadership role in the coffee industry, Starbucks operates Farmer Support Centers in Costa Rica and Rwanda, among other locations. The Farmer Support Centers are staffed with agronomists and sustainability experts who work with coffee farming communities to promote best practices in coffee production designed to improve both coffee quality and yields. In addition to coffee, we also purchase significant amounts of dairy products, particularly fluid milk, to support the needs of our company-operated retail stores. Our highest volumes of dairy purchases are in the US, Canada and the UK. For these markets, we purchase substantially all of our fluid milk requirements from seven dairy suppliers. We believe, based on relationships established with these suppliers, that the risk of non-delivery of sufficient fluid milk to support these retail businesses is remote. Products other than whole bean coffees and coffee beverages sold in Starbucks stores are obtained through a number of different channels. Beverage ingredients other than coffee and milk, including leaf teas as well as our selection of 6 ready-to-drink beverages, are purchased from several specialty suppliers, usually under long-term supply contracts. Food products, such as fresh pastries, breakfast sandwiches and lunch items, are purchased from national, regional and local sources. We also purchase a broad range of paper and plastic products, such as cups and cutlery, from several companies to support the needs of our retail stores as well as our manufacturing and distribution operations. We believe, based on relationships established with these suppliers and manufacturers, that the risk of non-delivery is remote. Competition Our primary competitors for coffee beverage sales are quick-service restaurants and specialty coffee shops. In almost all markets in which we do business, there are numerous competitors in the specialty coffee beverage business. We believe that our customers choose among specialty coffee retailers primarily on the basis of product quality, service and convenience, as well as price. We continue to experience direct competition from large competitors in the US quick-service restaurant sector and continue to face competition from well-established companies in many international markets and in the US ready-to-drink coffee beverage market. Our whole bean coffees, ground packaged coffees, Tazo teas, and Starbucks VIA Ready Brew compete directly against specialty coffees and teas sold through supermarkets, club stores and specialty retailers. Our whole bean coffees, coffee beverages, and Starbucks VIA Ready Brew compete indirectly against all other coffees on the market. Starbucks also faces competition from both restaurants and other specialty retailers for prime retail locations and qualified personnel to operate both new and existing stores.
