     This Amendment No. 2 to Statement on Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 2") of
First Data Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("First Data"), amends and
supplements First Data's original Schedule 13D filed on February 20, 2001 (the
"Schedule 13D") relating to the common stock (the "Common Stock"), par value
$0.00025 per share, of ValueStar Corporation, a Colorado corporation
("ValueStar"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Statement on Schedule 13D filed
on July 2, 2001 ("Amendment No. 1"). Capitalized terms not defined herein have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D or Amendment No. 1.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended to add the
following:

     "The source of First Data's August 7, 2001 investment in ValueStar was
working capital."

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended to add the
following:

     "As of August 6, 2001, First Data executed the Bridge Loan and Common Stock
Purchase Agreement dated as of July 25, 2001 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant
to which First Data invested $1,000,000 in exchange for a promissory note (the
"Note") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, and 5,000,000 shares of
Common Stock. The Note has a maturity date (the "Maturity Date") of April 30,
2002 and accrues interest at the rate of 12.0% simple interest per year. Subject
to certain conditions, in the event ValueStar completes a financing prior to the
Maturity Date involving the issuance of senior convertible notes, the Note is
mandatorily convertible into such senior convertible notes on the same terms as
other investors in such offering.

     As of August 7, 2001, ValueStar amended and restated its First Negotiation
Agreement with First Data to delete the condition subsequent to such agreement
related to First Data making an additional $1,000,000 investment.

           The descriptions of these transactions are qualified in their
entirety by the full text of the agreements incorporated by reference as
exhibits hereto."

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and
amended to add the following:

     As described in Item 4, which is incorporated herein by reference, as of
August 7, 2001, First Data acquired an additional 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, which collectively results in First Data beneficially owning
14,546,746 shares of Common Stock. The 14,546,746 shares of Common Stock
represent approximately 32.1% of the outstanding shares of Common



Stock (such percentage being calculated based
on information provided by ValueStar that as of July 25, 2001, there were
35,820,169 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding). The foregoing
calculation excludes, pursuant to Rule 13-d under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock
and Series CC Preferred Stock (other than the shares held by FDMS), each of
which is convertible into shares of Common Stock."

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
        SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

     "The information set forth under Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D, as
amended by Amendment No. 2, is incorporated herein by reference."


ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
