See accompanying notes to consolidated condensed financial statements. 5 PART I ITEM 1 ================================================================================ CVS CORPORATION 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 4,053 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 a mail order facility and 29 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. 6 PART I ITEM 1 ================================================================================ CVS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Following is a reconciliation of the Company's business segments to the consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999:

7 PART I ITEM 1 ================================================================================ CVS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 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. Following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended:

8 PART I ITEM 1 ================================================================================ CVS CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 5 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 common stock primarily to fund certain employee benefit plans. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $44.7 million. From the inception of the program through July 1, 2000, the Company repurchased 4.3 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $149.5 million. NOTE 6 In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations," Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company 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 charge, $106.1 million, will require cash outlays of which $56.6 million had been incurred as of July 1, 2000. Following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances associated with the CVS/Arbor Charge as of July 1, 2000:

(1) Employee severance extends through 2000. Employee benefits extend for a number of years to coincide with the payment of excess parachute payment excise taxes and related income tax gross-ups. (2) Noncancelable lease obligations extend through 2020. (3) The transfers between the components of the plan were recorded in the same period that the changes in estimates were determined. These amounts are considered to be immaterial. (4) The Company believes that the reserve balances as of July 1, 2000 are adequate to cover the remaining liabilities associated with the CVS/Arbor Charge. NOTE 7 On July 5, 2000 the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire 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 transaction is subject to normal closing conditions and review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Subject to satisfying these conditions, management expects to complete the purchase during the third or fourth quarter of 2000. 9 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 July 1, 2000, and the related consolidated condensed statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 1999, and the cash flows for the twenty-six weeks 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 generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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. /s/ KPMG LLP ------------------------ KPMG LLP Providence, Rhode Island July 31, 2000 10 PART I ITEM 2 ================================================================================ 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 twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2000 and June 26, 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 SECOND QUARTER (Thirteen Weeks Ended July 1, 2000 versus June 26, 1999) NET SALES for the second quarter of 2000 increased $580.4 million (or 13.3%) to $4.9 billion, compared to $4.4 billion in the second 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 18.6%. Pharmacy sales were 62% of total sales in the second quarter of 2000, compared to 58% in the second quarter of 1999. Third party prescription sales were 89% of pharmacy sales during the second quarter of 2000, compared to 86% in the second quarter of 1999. As you review our sales performance, we believe you should consider the following important information: - 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. - Our front store sales growth was primarily driven by solid performance in general merchandise, health and beauty, convenience foods and film and photofinishing. - 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 36% of our existing stores are freestanding at July 1, 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 second quarter of 2000 increased $145.4 million (or 12.2%) to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2000 was 27.0%, compared to 27.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 1999. Why has our gross margin rate been declining? - 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. 11 PART I ITEM 2 ================================================================================ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 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. Our gross margin on third party sales has continued to decline largely due to the efforts of managed care organizations and other pharmacy benefit managers to reduce prescription drug costs. To address this trend, we have dropped a number of third party programs that fell below our minimum profitability standards. In the event this trend continues and we elect to drop additional programs and/or decide not to participate in future programs that fall below our minimum profitability standards, we may not be able to sustain our current rate of sales growth. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES for the second quarter of 2000 were $1,001.9 million or 20.3% of net sales, compared to $900.2 million or 20.6% of net sales in the second quarter of 1999. What have we done to improve our total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales? - Our strong sales performance has consistently allowed net sales to grow at a faster pace than total operating expenses. - 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 second quarter of 2000 increased $43.7 million (or 15.1%) to $333.9 million, compared to $290.2 million in the second quarter of 1999. Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.8% in the second quarter of 2000, compared to 6.7% in the second quarter of 1999. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET for the second quarter of 2000 was $23.0 million, compared to $14.5 million in the second quarter of 1999. Our interest expense totaled $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2000, compared to $16.4 million in the second quarter of 1999. Interest income was $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2000 versus $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1999. Our interest expense increased due to a combination of higher average interest rates and higher average borrowing levels during the second quarter of 2000. INCOME TAX PROVISION ~ Our effective income tax rate was 40.0% for the second quarter of 2000, compared to 41.0% for the second quarter of 1999. The decrease in our effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower state income taxes. NET EARNINGS for the second quarter of 2000 increased $23.9 million (or 14.7%) to $186.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $162.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 1999. SIX MONTHS (Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 1, 2000 versus June 26, 1999) NET SALES for the first six months of 2000 increased $1.1 billion (or 12.5%) to $9.7 billion, compared to $8.6 billion in the first six months of 1999.

See "Second Quarter" above for further information about the factors that affected our net sales. GROSS MARGIN for the first six months of 2000 increased $276.0 million (or 11.7%) to $2.6 billion, compared to $2.4 billion in the first six months of 1999. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the first six months of 2000 was 27.2%, compared to 27.4% in the first six months of 1999. See "Second Quarter" above for further information about the factors that affected our gross margin as a percentage of net sales. 12 PART I ITEM 2 ================================================================================ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES for the first six months of 2000 were $2.0 billion or 20.3% of net sales, compared to $1.8 billion or 20.6% of net sales in the first six months of 1999. See "Second Quarter" above for further information about the factors that affected our operating expenses as a percentage of net sales. OPERATING PROFIT for the first six months of 2000 increased $85.4 million (or 14.6%) to $668.8 million, compared to $583.4 million for the first six months of 1999. Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was 6.9% in the first six months of 2000, compared to 6.8% in the first six months of 1999. INTEREST EXPENSE, NET for the first six months of 2000 was $39.1 million, compared to $28.8 million in the first six months of 1999. Our interest expense totaled $41.1 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $32.5 million in the first six months of 1999. Interest income was $2.0 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $3.7 million in the first six months of 1999. Our interest expense increased due to a combination of higher average interest rates and higher average borrowing levels during the first six months of 2000. INCOME TAX PROVISION ~ Our effective income tax rate was 40.0% for the first six months of 2000, compared to 41.0% for the first six months of 1999. The decrease in our effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower state income taxes. NET EARNINGS in the first six months of 2000, increased $50.6 million (or 15.5%) to $377.8 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, compared to $327.2 million, or $0.80 per diluted share in the first six months of 1999. 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 July 1, 2000, we had $956.4 million of commercial paper outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 6.8% and $14.5 million outstanding under the uncommitted lines of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1%. 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 common stock primarily to fund certain employee benefit plans. During the second quarter of 2000, the Company repurchased 1.1 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $44.7 million. From the inception of the program through July 1, 2000, the Company repurchased 4.3 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $149.5 million. 13 PART I ITEM 2 ================================================================================ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS NET CASH USED IN OPERATIONS ~ Net cash used in operations increased $132.8 million to $16.2 million during the first six months of 2000. This compares to net cash provided by operations of $116.6 during the first six months of 1999. The increase in net cash used in operations resulted primarily from additional investments in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable. As of July 1, 2000, the future cash payments associated with various restructuring programs totaled $115.0 million. These payments primarily include: (i) $19.4 million for employee severance, which extends through 2000 and retirement benefits and related excess parachute payment excise taxes and income tax gross-ups, which extend for a number of years to coincide with the payment of retirement benefits, and (ii) $92.2 million for continuing lease obligations, which extend through 2020. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES ~ Our additions to property and equipment totaled $306.4 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $276.3 million in the first six months of 1999. During the first six months of 2000, we opened 62 new stores, relocated 113 stores and closed 78 stores. As of July 1, 2000, we operated 4,082 retail and specialty pharmacy stores in 29 states and the District of Columbia, compared to 4,096 stores as of June 26, 1999.
