Financial Statement Analysis: Short paper –Discussion
Company: Starbucks Corp.
1. Review the annual report that you selected for potential disclosures relating to contingent liabilities and contingent assets. What do these disclosures
suggest about the company’s potential risk? Support your response with facts from the company’s financial statements and annual report. Include a link to those
documents so that other students can reference them.
2. Look at the annual report notes to the financial statements and describe the company’s handling of lease transactions. Does the company have significant off-
balance-sheet assets and liabilities? Would recording these assets and liabilities on the balance sheet change your view of the financial condition of the company?
