NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements of CVS Corporation
("CVS" or the "Company") have been prepared without audit, in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
accordance with such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted,
although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which are necessary to present a fair statement of the Company's
results of operations for the interim periods presented. Because of the
influence of various factors on the Company's operations, including certain
holidays and other seasonal influences, net earnings for any interim period may
not be comparable to the same interim period in previous years or necessarily
indicative of earnings for the full fiscal year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.
NOTE 2
The Company currently operates four business segments: Retail Pharmacy, Pharmacy
Benefit Management ("PBM"), Specialty Pharmacy and Internet Pharmacy. The
Company's business segments are operating units that offer different products
and services, and require distinct technology and marketing strategies.
The Retail Pharmacy segment, which includes 4,066 retail drugstores located in
24 states and the District of Columbia, operates under the CVS/pharmacy name.
The Retail Pharmacy segment is the Company's only reportable segment.
The PBM segment provides a full range of prescription benefit management
services to managed care providers and other organizations. These services
include plan design and administration, formulary management, mail order
pharmacy services, claims processing and generic substitution. The PBM segment
operates under the PharmaCare Management Services name.
The Specialty Pharmacy segment, which includes mail order facilities and 40
retail pharmacies located in 12 states and the District of Columbia, operates
under the CVS ProCare name. The Specialty Pharmacy segment focuses on supporting
individuals that require complex and expensive drug therapies.
The Internet Pharmacy segment, which includes a mail order facility and a
complete online retail pharmacy, operates under the CVS.com name.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating profit before
intersegment profits.

NOTE 4
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing: (i) net earnings, after
deducting the after-tax dividends on the ESOP preference stock, by (ii) the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period (the
"Basic Shares").
When computing diluted earnings per common share, the Company normally assumes
that the ESOP preference stock is converted into common stock and all dilutive
stock options are exercised. After the assumed ESOP preference stock conversion,
the ESOP Trust would hold common stock rather than ESOP preference stock and
would receive common stock dividends (currently $0.23 per share) rather than
ESOP preference stock dividends (currently $3.90 per share). Since the ESOP
Trust uses the dividends it receives to service its debt, the Company would have
to increase its contribution to the ESOP Trust to compensate it for the lower
dividends. This additional contribution would reduce the Company's net earnings,
which in turn, would reduce the amounts that would have to be accrued under the
Company's incentive compensation plans. Diluted earnings per common share is
computed by dividing: (i) net earnings, after accounting for the difference
between the dividends on the ESOP preference stock and common stock and after
making adjustments for the incentive compensation plans by (ii) Basic Shares
plus the additional shares that would be issued assuming that all dilutive stock
options are exercised and the ESOP preference stock is converted into common
stock.

the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended:

On March 6, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase
program, which allows the Company to acquire up to $1 billion of its common
stock primarily to fund certain employee benefit plans. During the third quarter
of 2000, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of common stock at an
aggregate cost of $13.7 million. From the inception of the program through
September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased 4.7 million shares of common stock

recorded, during the second quarter of 1998, a $147.3 million charge to
operating expenses for direct and other merger-related costs pertaining to the
CVS/Arbor merger transaction and certain restructuring activities (the
"CVS/Arbor Charge"). The restructuring activities related to management's plan
to close Arbor's Troy, Michigan corporate headquarters, terminate Arbor's
corporate headquarters employees, and close certain store locations. Asset
write-offs included in this charge totaled $41.2 million. The balance of the

PART I INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
CVS Corporation:
We have reviewed the consolidated condensed balance sheet of CVS Corporation
as of September 30, 2000, and the related consolidated condensed statements
of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September
30, 2000 and September 25, 1999, and cash flows for the thirty-nine week
periods then ended. These consolidated condensed financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted 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 consolidated condensed financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of CVS
Corporation as of January 1, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the fifty-three week period
ended January 1, 2000 and the fifty-two week period ended December 26, 1998,
(not presented herein); and in our report dated February 7, 2000 we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance
sheet as of January 1, 2000, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion explains the material changes in our results of
operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2000 and
September 25, 1999 and the significant developments affecting our financial
condition since January 1, 2000. We strongly recommend that you read our audited
consolidated financial statements and footnotes and Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER (Thirteen Weeks Ended September 30, 2000 versus September 25,
1999)
NET SALES for the third quarter of 2000 increased $604.6 million (or 14.0%) to
$4.9 billion, compared to $4.3 billion in the third quarter of 1999. Same store
sales, consisting of sales from stores that have been open for more than one
year, rose 12.2%, while pharmacy same store sales increased 18.7%. Pharmacy
sales were 63% of total sales in the third quarter of 2000, compared to 59% in
the third quarter of 1999. Third party prescription sales were 89% of pharmacy
sales during the third quarter of 2000, compared to 87% in the third quarter of
1999.
As you review our sales performance, we believe you should consider the
following important information:
o Our pharmacy sales growth continued to benefit from our ability to
attract and retain managed care customers, our ongoing program of
purchasing prescription files from independent pharmacies and favorable
industry trends. These trends include an aging American population;
many "baby boomers" are now in their fifties and are consuming a
greater number of prescription drugs. The increased use of
pharmaceuticals as the first line of defense for healthcare and the
introduction of a number of successful new prescription drugs also
contributed to the growing demand for pharmacy services.
o Our front store sales growth was primarily driven by solid performance
in general merchandise, health and beauty, convenience foods and film
and photofinishing.
o Sales also benefited from our active relocation program which seeks to
move our existing shopping center stores to larger, more convenient,
freestanding locations. Historically, we have achieved significant
improvements in customer count and net sales when we do this. The
resulting increase in net sales has typically been driven by an
increase in front store sales, which normally have a higher gross
margin. We believe that our relocation program offers a significant
opportunity for future growth, as only 37% of our existing stores are
freestanding at September 30, 2000. Our long-term goal is to have
70-80% of our stores located in freestanding sites. We cannot,
however, guarantee that future store relocations will deliver the same
results as those historically achieved. Please read the "Cautionary
Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" section below.
GROSS MARGIN for the third quarter of 2000 increased $156.3 million (or 13.7%)
to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 1999. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter of 2000 was 26.4%,
compared to 26.5% of net sales in the third quarter of 1999.
Why has our gross margin rate been declining?
o Pharmacy sales are growing at a faster pace than front store sales. On
average, our gross margin on pharmacy sales is lower than our gross
margin on front store sales.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
o Sales to customers covered by third party insurance programs have
continued to increase and, thus, have become a larger part of our total
pharmacy business. On average our gross margin on third party pharmacy
sales is lower than our gross margin on cash pharmacy sales.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES for the third quarter of 2000 were $1,012.7 million or
20.6% of net sales, compared to $921.4 million or 21.4% of net sales in the
third quarter of 1999. During the third quarter of 2000, we recognized a $19.2
million pre-tax ($11.5 million after-tax) nonrecurring gain in total operating
expenses representing partial payment of our share of the settlement proceeds
from a class action lawsuit against certain manufacturers of brand name
prescription drugs. If you exclude the effect of this nonrecurring gain,
comparable total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 were $1,031.9
million or 21.0% of net sales, compared to $921.4 million or 21.4% of net sales
in the third quarter of 1999.
What have we done to improve our total operating expenses as a percentage of net
sales?
o Our strong sales performance has consistently allowed net sales to grow
at a faster pace than total operating expenses.
o Our information technology initiatives have led to greater
productivity, which has resulted in lower operating costs, particularly
at the store level.
OPERATING PROFIT for the third quarter of 2000 increased $65.0 million (or
29.6%) to $284.7 million, compared to $219.7 million in the third quarter of
1999. If you exclude the effect of the nonrecurring gain we recognized during
the third quarter of 2000, our comparable operating profit increased $45.8
million (or 20.8%) to $265.5 million, compared to $219.7 million in the third
quarter of 1999. Comparable operating profit as a percentage of net sales was
5.4% in the third quarter of 2000, compared to 5.1% in the third quarter of
1999.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET for the third quarter of 2000 was $20.1 million, compared
to $13.7 million in the third quarter of 1999. Our interest expense totaled
$21.3 million in the third quarter of 2000, compared to $15.8 million in the
third quarter of 1999. Interest income was $1.2 million in the third quarter of
2000 versus $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1999. Our interest expense
increased due to a combination of higher average interest rates and higher
average borrowing levels during the third quarter of 2000.
INCOME TAX PROVISION ~ Our effective income tax rate was 40.0% for the third
quarter of 2000, compared to 41.0% for the third quarter of 1999. The decrease
in our effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower state income taxes.
NET EARNINGS for the third quarter of 2000 increased $37.1 million (or 30.5%) to
$158.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $121.6 million, or $0.30
per diluted share, in the third quarter of 1999. If you exclude the effect of
the nonrecurring gain we recognized in the third quarter of 2000, our comparable
net earning increased $25.6 million (or 21.1%) to $147.2 million, or $0.36 per
diluted share, compared to $121.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share in the
third quarter of 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
LIQUIDITY ~ The Company has three primary sources of liquidity: cash provided by
operations, commercial paper and uncommitted lines of credit. We generally
finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements with internally
generated funds and our commercial paper program. In addition, we may elect to
use additional long-term borrowings in the future to support our continued
growth.
Our commercial paper program is supported by a $670 million, five-year unsecured
revolving credit facility which expires on May 30, 2002 and a $795 million,
364-day unsecured revolving credit facility which expires on May 25, 2001. We
can also obtain short-term financing through various uncommitted lines of
credit. As of September 30, 2000, we had $867.2 million of commercial paper
outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 6.7% and $35.1 million
outstanding under the uncommitted lines of credit at a weighted average interest
rate of 6.9%.
Our credit facilities and unsecured senior notes contain customary restrictive
financial and operating covenants. We do not believe that the restrictions
contained in these covenants materially affect our financial or operating
flexibility.
We believe that our cash on hand and cash provided by operations, together with
our ability to obtain additional short-term and long-term financing, will be
sufficient to cover our working capital needs, capital expenditures and debt
service requirements for at least the next twelve months.
On March 6, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase
program, which allows the Company to acquire up to $1 billion of its common
stock primarily to fund certain employee benefit plans. During the third quarter
of 2000, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of common stock at an
aggregate cost of $13.7 million. From the inception of the program through
September 30, 2000, the Company repurchased 4.7 million shares of common stock
at an aggregate cost of $163.2 million.
On September 18, 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets
of Stadtlander Pharmacy of Pittsburgh, Pa., a subsidiary of Bergen Brunswig
Corporation, for $124 million in cash plus the assumption of certain
liabilities. The results of operations of Stadtlander have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since this date.
NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATIONS ~ Net cash provided by operations decreased
$13.4 million to $302.2 million during the first nine months of 2000,
compared to $315.6 during the first nine months of 1999. The decrease in net
cash provided by operations resulted primarily from additional investments in
inventory and a decrease in accounts payable. As of September 30, 2000, the
future cash payments associated with various restructuring programs totaled
$107.3 million. These payments primarily include: (i) $18.6 million for
employee severance and benefits, which extend for a number of years to
coincide with the payment of retirement benefits, and (ii) $85.3 million for
continuing lease obligations, which extend through 2020.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES ~ Our additions to property and equipment totaled $496.6
million in the first nine months of 2000, compared to $484.8 million in the
first nine months of 1999. During the first nine months of 2000, we opened 107
new stores, relocated 166 stores and closed 99 stores. As of September 30, 2000,
we operated 4,106 retail and specialty pharmacy stores in 29 states and the
District of Columbia, compared to 4,089 stores as of September 25, 1999. During
the third quarter of 2000, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction,
resulting in net proceeds of $140.9 million, as a means of financing a portion
of our store development program. The properties were sold at net book value and
the resulting leases are being accounted for as operating leases.
