INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors of
Blue Star Coffee, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Blue Star
Coffee, Inc. as of June 30, 2001, and the related statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
period from April 1, 2001 to June 30, 2001, in accordance with
Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All
information included in these financial statements is the
representation of the management of Blue Star Coffee, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and
analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in
order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note
5 to these financial statements, the Company has had limited
operations and has not established a long-term source of revenue.
This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plan in regards to this issue is also
described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company paid one of its shareholders, Arrow Capital
Management $27,500 in full for services related to the
following activities; site search, marketing research and
management fees. The Company also paid Arrow Capital
Management an additional $18,500 for services relating to
marketing research, including demographic research.
The Company paid a related party, Newport Advisors $15,000 in
full for servies related to consulting.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The company has entered into a 6 month lease commencing on
April 1, 2001 and ending on September 30, 2001. These lease
payments total $13,500 for April 1, 2001 through September 30,
2001 which were paid in advance in April 2001.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going
concern, which assumes the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
However, the Company has no current source of revenue.
Without realization of additional capital, it would be
unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. It
is management's plan to seek additional capital through a 506
State Registered Offering. Management has also taken measures
to reduce expenses significantly.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements
about the Company's business, financial condition and prospects
that reflect management's assumptions and beliefs based on
information currently available. The Company can give no assurance
that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements
will be realized. If any of management's assumptions should prove
incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such
expectations should materialize, Blue Star Coffee's actual results
may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking
statements.
The key factors that are not within the Company's control and
that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but
are not limited to, acceptance of the Company's services, its
ability to expand its customer base, managements' ability to raise
capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes
in the regulation of the Company's industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management may
be unable to predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, words
such as, "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans,"
"anticipates," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain
forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
All forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the
safe harbor created by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
General
Blue Star Coffee, Inc. is a developmental stage company that
seeks to build a chain of drive-through only specialty coffee
kiosks designed to serve the specialty coffee consumer in the
comfort of his or her automobile. Blue Star Coffee has no
intention of opening cafe style shops, where customers would be
able to sit and linger at the location. The facilities from which
coffee will be sold will be freestanding structures designed to
accommodate two automobiles simultaneously, through a service
window on each side of the establishment. The Company's main focus
will be on developing company-owned and franchised retail drive-
through locations selling brewed coffee, espresso-based beverages
(such as cappuccinos, lattes, mochas and espressos), Italian sodas
and various blended drinks.
Management of the Company have prior experience with other
companies that have each operated stand-alone, drive-though only
coffee shops, in addition to operating sit-down, cafe-style shops,
as well as combination sit-down and drive-through stores. During
his tenure with Coffee People, Inc. in Oregon, Mr. Ronald Brigham,
COO of Blue Star Coffee, noted that of the 25 stores Coffee People
operated in the Portland area, two stores offered customers the
option of drive-through service and cafe-style accommodations and
seven stores were drive-through only. Mr. Brigham further
estimated that the drive-through locations each performed similarly
to the locations offering either sit-down only service or a
combination or sit down and drive-through services. He estimates
that the two combination inside-seating and drive-through stores
generated approximately 50% of revenues from drive-through
operations.
Drive-through coffee sales are in the infant stage, similar to
the experience of fast food restaurants' experimentation with drive-
through service in the 1960s. However, there are a negligible
number of existing drive-though only coffee shops to provide
sufficient data to demonstrate the performance of such stores'
operations. The Company has yet to generate revenues and faces
competition from all specialty coffee establishments. Many of the
Company's potential competitors have significantly greater
financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does.
Competition may limit the Company's ability to generate sufficient
sales to meet its financial obligations and continue operations.
Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has not generated any revenues since its inception
on July 28, 2000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2001, expenses
totaled $87,190, resulting in a net loss of $87,190. Management
anticipates that the Company will continue to incur net losses for
the next at least nine to 15 months.
- -12-
To date, Blue Star Coffee so far has accomplished the
following startup and development activities:
1. Completed an offering of equity securities;
2. Communicated with landowners to identify potential store
locations in Utah, Arizona or Nevada;
3. Developed and implementing the corporate accounting control
systems;
4. Interviewed potential specialty coffee roasters;
5. Established the corporate office;
6. Evaluated potential management personnel for the Company's
first drive-through location;
7. Evaluated potential building designers and building
manufacturing companies;
8. Discussed the Company's corporate marketing image with graphic
design artists;
9. Evaluated coffees from various parts of the world; and
10. Sought supplier relationships.
To fund the build-out and initial marketing of it first drive-
through location, the Company anticipates that it will need to
raise additional working capital through a private or public
offering of equity or debt securities. As at June
30, 2001, the Company has not recognized revenue to date and have
accumulated a deficit of approximately $144,631 since inception.
Blue Star Coffee's ability to continue as a going concern is
contingent upon attaining additional financing, for which there are
no formal or informal arrangements. While management of the
Company are expending their best efforts to achieve the above
plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate
funds that will be available for operations.
Continuing Operations
Blue Star Coffee intends to have its first drive-through kiosk
operational by the end of the first quarter of 2002. The Company
has provided the following estimated timeline and probable cost for
the planned store:
Action Estimated Time Frame Estimated Cost
------ -------------------- --------------
Sign lease for land By October 31, 2001
Obtain initial permits By November 30, 2001 $1,500
Permit process 11/1/01 - 2/28/02 $3,500
Site development 12/1/01 - 2/28/02 $31,500
Building construction 1/15/02 - 2/15/02 $48,000
Building delivery 2/28/02 Included
Utility hookups 3/1/02 - 3/15/02 $5,000
Equipment installation 3/15/02 - 3/22/02 $43,000
Employee hiring and training 3/22/02 - 3/30/02 $2,500
Initial marketing and advertising 3/1/02 - 6/30/02 $15,000
Opening date 3/31/02
The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet its
timeline and remain within its estimated costs. If additional
funding is not obtained, the Company will be unable to pursue its
goal of having its first store fully operational by the start of
the second quarter of 2002. If such financing is realized, the
Company must execute its plan of operation on a timely basis, as
well as assure that its suppliers and contractors meet the same
goals, otherwise the Company's expected opening date will be
delayed or its expected costs may be elevated.
