McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES
(Unaudited)(UNAUDITED)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of Presentation.Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements of McKesson Corporation (“McKesson,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) include the financial statements of all majority-owned or controlled companies. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In our opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2005,June 30, 2006, and the results of operations for the quarters and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the nine monthsquarters ended December 31, 2005June 30, 2006 and 2004.2005.
     The results of operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and nine months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes included in our 20052006 consolidated financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     The Company’s fiscal year begins on April 1 and ends on March 31. Unless otherwise noted, all references to a particular year shall mean the Company’s fiscal year. Certain prior periodyear amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periodyear presentation.
     EmployeeNew Accounting Pronouncements. On April 1, 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the recognition of expense resulting from transactions in which we acquire goods and services by issuing our shares, share options, or other equity instruments. This standard requires a fair-value based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The share-based compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the awards that is ultimately expected to vest. This standard replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,. We account for our employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, the use of the intrinsic value method as provided under APB Opinion No. 25, which was utilized by the Company, was eliminated. We apply the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended byadopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition. See Financial Note 4, “Share-Based Payment,” for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Had compensation cost for our employee stock-based compensation been recognized based on the fair value method, consistent withfurther details.
     As a result of the provisions of SFAS No. 123,123(R), in 2007, we expect share-based compensation charges to approximate $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share, or approximately $0.05 to $0.07 per diluted share more than the share-based compensation expense recognized in our net income (loss)in 2006. Our assessments of estimated compensation charges are affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and earnings (loss) per share would have been as follows:

subjective variables and the related tax impact. These variables include, but are not limited to, the volatility of our stock price, employee stock option exercise behaviors, timing, level and types of our grants of annual share-based awards and the attainment of performance goals. As a result, the actual share-based compensation expense in 2007 may differ from the Company’s current estimate.
     In 2004, we accelerated vesting of substantially all unvested stock options outstanding whose exercise price was equal to or greater than $28.20,July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which was substantially all ofclarifies the total unvested stock options then outstanding. Duringaccounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the second quarter of 2005, we granted 6 million stock options, substantially all of which vested on or before March 31, 2005. Similarly, during the second quarter of 2006, we granted 5 million stock options, substantially all of which will vest on or before March 31, 2006. Prior to 2004, stock options typically vested over a four year period. These actions were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors for employee retention purposes andfinancial statements in anticipation of the requirements ofaccordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 will become effective for us in 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN No. 48 on our consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL NOTES (Continued)(CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)(UNAUDITED)
     In 2007, we will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) which will require us to recognize the fair value of the equity awards granted to employees as an expense. In addition, this standard requires that the fair value of the unvested equity awards outstanding as of April 1, 2006 be recognized at the grant-date fair value as the remaining requisite service is rendered. Accordingly, SFAS No. 123 expense for the stock option grants that received accelerated vesting in 2004, as well as the compensation expense associated with the 2005 and 2006 stock options, which either fully vested by March 31, 2005 or will fully vest by March 31, 2006, will not be recognized in our earnings after SFAS 123(R) is adopted.
     We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 123(R) on our condensed consolidated financial statements. As part of this assessment, we are evaluating modifications to our long-term compensation program for key employees across the Company, which may limit stock option grants in favor of restricted share grants and long-term, performance-based cash compensation. Nevertheless, we do believe that this standard could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisitions
     In the second quarter of 2006, we acquired substantially all of the issued and outstanding stock of D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. (“D&K”) of St. Louis, Missouri, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $479 million, including the assumption of D&K’s debt. D&K is primarily a wholesale distributor of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter health and beauty products to independent and regional pharmacies, primarily in the Midwest. The results of D&K’s operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements within our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment since the acquisition date.
     The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
     
(In millions)    
 
Assets:    
Accounts receivable $153 
Inventory  329 
Goodwill and intangibles  206 
Other assets  76 
Liabilities:    
Accounts payable  (193)
Other liabilities  (92)
     
Net assets acquired, less cash and cash equivalents $479 
     
     Approximately $163 million of the purchase price has been assigned to goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in goodwill and intangibles are acquired identifiable intangibles of $43 million primarily representing customer lists and not-to-compete covenants which have an estimated weighted-average useful life of nine years.
     In connection with the D&K acquisition, we recorded $11 million of liabilities relating to employee severance costs and $29 million for facility exit and contract termination costs. As of December 31, 2005, $4 million and $2 million of these liabilities have been paid. The remaining severance liability of $7 million is anticipated to be paid by the end of 2007, while the remaining facility exit and contract termination liability of $27 million is anticipated to be paid at various dates through 2015. Additional restructuring costs are anticipated to be incurred as the business integration plans are finalized.

(Unaudited)Investments
     Also in the second quarter of 2006, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Medcon, Ltd. (“Medcon”), an Israeli company, for an aggregate purchase price of $82 million. Medcon provides web-based cardiac image and information management services to healthcare providers. Approximately $66 million of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes and $20 million was assigned to intangibles which represent technology assets and customer lists which have an estimated weighted-average useful life of four years. The results of Medcon’s operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements within our Provider Technologies segment since the acquisition date.
     In November 2004, we invested $38 million in return for a 79.7% interest in Pahema, S.A. de C.V. (“Pahema”), a Mexican holding company. Two additional investors, owners of approximately 30% of the outstanding shares of Nadro S.A. de C.V. (“Nadro”) (collectively, “investors”), contributed $10 million for the remaining interest in Pahema. In December 2004, Pahema completed a 6.50 Mexican Pesos per share, or approximately $164 million, tender offer for approximately 284 million shares (or approximately 46%) of the outstanding publicly held shares of the common stock of Nadro. Pahema financed the tender offer utilizing the cash contributed by the investors and us, and borrowings totaling 1.375 billion Mexican Pesos, in the form of two notes with Mexican financial institutions. Prior to the tender offer, the Company owned approximately 22% of the outstanding common shares of Nadro. During the first half of 2006, we merged Pahema into Nadro and the common stock of Pahema was exchanged for the common stock of Nadro. After the completion of the merger, we own approximately 48% of Nadro.
     In the first quarter of 2005,2007, we acquired allthe following three entities for a total cost of $87 million, which was paid in cash:
Sterling Medical Services LLC (“Sterling”), based in Moorestown, New Jersey, a national provider and distributor of medical disposable supplies, health management services and quality management programs to the home care market. Financial results for Sterling are included in our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment;
HealthCom Partners LLC (“HealthCom”), based in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, a leading provider of patient billing solutions designed to simplify and enhance healthcare providers’ financial interactions with their patients; and
RelayHealth Corporation (“RelayHealth”), based in Emeryville, California, a provider of secure online healthcare communication services linking patients, healthcare professionals, payors and pharmacies. Financial results for HealthCom and RelayHealth are included in our Provider Technologies segment.
     Goodwill recognized in these transactions amounted to $69 million.
     In the issuedfirst quarter of 2007, we contributed $36 million in cash and outstanding shares of Moore Medical Corp.$45 million in net assets primarily from our Automated Prescription Systems business to Parata Systems, LLC (“MMC”Parata”), in exchange for a significant minority interest in Parata. In connection with the investment, we abandoned certain assets which resulted in a $15 million charge to cost of New Britain, Connecticut, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $37 million. MMC is an Internet-enabled, multi-channel marketersales and distributor of medical-surgical and pharmaceutical products to non-hospital provider settings.

In 2006, we made the following acquisitions:
In the second quarter of 2006, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. (“D&K”) of St. Louis, Missouri, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $479 million, including the assumption of D&K’s debt. D&K is primarily a wholesale distributor of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter health and beauty products to independent and regional pharmacies, primarily in the Midwest. Approximately $157 million of the purchase price has been assigned to goodwill. Included in the purchase price were acquired identifiable intangibles of $43 million primarily representing customer lists and not-to-compete covenants which have an estimated weighted-average useful life of nine years. Financial results for D&K are included in our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment.
Also in the second quarter of 2006, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Medcon, Ltd. (“Medcon”), an Israeli company, for an aggregate purchase price of $82 million. Medcon provides web-based cardiac image and information management services to healthcare providers. Approximately $66 million of the purchase price was assigned to goodwill and $20 million was assigned to intangibles which represent technology assets and customer lists which have an estimated weighted-average useful life of four years. Financial results for Medcon are included in our Provider Technologies segment.
     During the last two years, we also completed a number of smaller acquisitions.other acquisitions and investments within all three of our operating segments. Financial results for our business acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements since their respective acquisition dates. Purchase prices for our business acquisitions have been allocated based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and, for certain recent acquisitions, may be subject to change. Goodwill recognized for our business acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

3. Discontinued Operation
     During the second quarter of 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, McKesson BioServices Corporation (“BioServices”), for net proceeds of $63 million. The divestiture resulted in an after-tax gain of $13 million or $0.04 per diluted share. The results of BioServices’ operations have been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial results for this business were previously included in our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment and were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
4. ContractShare-Based Payment
     We provide various share-based compensation for our employees, officers and non-employee directors, including stock options, an employee stock purchase plan, restricted stock (“RS”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PeRSUs”) (collectively, “share-based.”) On April 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), as discussed in Financial Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies.” Accordingly, we began to recognize compensation expense for the fair value of share-based awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled from April 1, 2006 forward. For the unvested portion of awards issued prior to and outstanding as of April 1, 2006, the expense is recognized at the grant-date fair value as the remaining requisite service is rendered. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for those awards with graded vesting and service conditions. For the awards with performance conditions, we recognize the expense on a straight-line basis, treating each vesting tranche as a separate award. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, we reduced the vesting period of substantially all of the then outstanding stock options for employee retention purposes and in anticipation of the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), either through acceleration or shortened vesting schedules at grant. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method and therefore have not restated prior period financial statements. Prior to adopting SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for our employee share-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. This standard generally did not require recognition of compensation expense for the majority of our share-based awards except for RS and RSUs. In addition, as required under APB Opinion No. 25, we previously recognized forfeitures as they occurred.
     The compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) has been classified in the income statement or capitalized on the balance sheet in the same manner as cash compensation paid to our employees. There was no material share-based compensation expense capitalized as part of the balance sheet at June 30, 2006. In addition, SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense be reported as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow, as was done under APB Opinion No. 25. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, $9 million of excess tax benefits were recognized.
     In 2005, our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment entered into an agreementconjunction with a third party vendor to sell the vendor’s proprietary software and services. The termsadoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we elected the contract required us to prepay certain royalties. During“short-cut” method for calculating the third quarter of 2006, we ended marketing and sale of the software under the contract. As a result of this decision, we recorded a $15 million charge to cost of sales within our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment in the third quarter of 2006 to write-off the remainingbeginning balance of the prepaid royalties.additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of share-based compensation. Under this method, a simplified calculation is applied in establishing the beginning APIC pool balance as well as determining the future impact on the APIC pool and our consolidated statements of cash flows relating to the tax effects of share-based compensation. The election of this accounting policy did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
I. Impact on Net Income
     During the first quarter of 2007, we recorded $8 million of pre-tax share-based compensation expense, compared to $7 million pre-tax pro forma expense for the first quarter of 2006. Total share-based compensation expense comprised of RS, RSUs and PeRSUs expense of $8 million, stock option expense of $1 million and employee stock purchase plan expense of $2 million, offset in part by a credit of $3 million for a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect estimated forfeitures relating to unvested RS and RSUs outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Had compensation expense for our employee share-based compensation been recognized based on the fair value method, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:

III. Stock Plans
     The 2005 Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”) provides our employees, officers and non-employee directors share-based long-term incentives. The 2005 Plan permits the granting of stock options, RS, RSUs, PeRSUs and other share-based awards. Under the 2005 Plan, 13 million shares were authorized for issuance, and as of June 30, 2006, 5 million shares remain available for future grant. The 2005 Stock Plan replaced the following three plans in advance of their expirations: 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, the 1997 Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan and the 1998 Canadian Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Legacy Plans”). The aggregate remaining 11 million authorized shares under the Legacy Plans were cancelled, although awards under those plans remain outstanding. The 2005 Plan is now the Company’s only plan for providing share-based incentive compensation to employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates.
     In anticipation of the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R), the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) reviewed our long-term compensation program for key employees across the Company. As a result, beginning in 2006, reliance on options was $2reduced with more long-term incentive value delivered by grants of PeRSUs and performance-based cash compensation.

IV. Stock Options
     Stock options are granted at not less than fair market value and those options granted under the 2005 Plan have a contractual term of seven years. Prior to 2004, stock options typically vested over a four-year period and had a contractual term of ten years. As noted above, in 2006, 2005 and 2004, we reduced the vesting period of substantially all of the then-outstanding unvested stock options, either through acceleration or shortened vesting schedules at grant. It is expected that options granted in 2007 and future years will have a seven-year contractual life and generally follow the four-year vesting schedule. Stock options under the Legacy Plans, which are substantially vested, generally have a ten-year contractual life.
     Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and is based on the grant-date fair value for the portion of the awards that is ultimately expected to vest. We continue to use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. Once the fair value of an employee stock option value is determined, current accounting practices do not permit it to be changed, even if the estimates used are different from actual. The option pricing model requires the use of various estimates and assumptions, as follows:
Expected stock price volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility of our common stock and implied market volatility. We believe that this market-based input provides a better estimate of our future stock price movements and is consistent with emerging employee stock option valuation considerations. Our expected stock price volatility assumption continues to reflect a constant dividend yield during the expected term of the option.
Expected dividend yield is based on historical experience and investors’ current expectations.
The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the constant maturity U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant.
The expected life of the options is determined based on historical option exercise behavior data, and also reflects the impact of changes in contractual life of current option grants compared to our historical grants.
     Weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of employee stock options were as follows:
         
  Quarter ended June 30,
  2006 2005
 
Expected stock price volatility  27%  37%
Expected dividend yield  0.5%  0.6%
Risk-free interest rate  5%  4%
Expected life (in years)  5   6 
 
     The estimated forfeiture rate, which reduces the expense, is based on historical experience. The estimated forfeiture rate at grant will be re-assessed at least annually and revised if actual forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. In addition, the forfeiture estimates will be adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures when an award vests. In the Company’s pro forma information required under SFAS No. 123 for the periods prior to 2007, we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. We expect forfeitures to approximate 8% per annum. The actual forfeitures in the future reporting periods could be materially higher or lower than our current estimates. As a result, the share-based compensation expense in 2007 may differ from the Company’s current estimate.

     RS and RSUs, which entitle the third quarterholder to receive, at the end of 2005, we recorded an income tax benefita vesting term, a specified number of $390 millionshares of McKesson common stock, are accounted for at fair value at the Securities Litigation whichdate of grant. The fair value of RS and RSUs under our stock plans is described in more detail in Financial Note 12. We believedetermined by the settlementproduct of the consolidated securities class actionnumber of shares that are expected to vest and the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits brought independently by other shareholders will be tax deductible. However, the tax attributes of the litigation are complex and we expect challenges from the appropriate taxing authorities, and accordingly such deductions will not be finalized until all the lawsuits are concluded and an examinationgrant date market price of the Company’s tax returnscommon stock. The Compensation Committee determines the vesting terms at the time of grant. These awards generally vest in full after three years. The fair value of RS and RSUs with graded vesting and service conditions is completed. Asexpensed on a result,straight-line basis over the requisite service period. RS contains certain restrictions on transferability and may not be transferred until such restrictions lapse.
     Each non-employee director currently receives 2,500 RSUs annually, which vest immediately, and which are expensed upon grant. However, issuance of any shares is delayed until the director is no longer performing services for the Company. At June 30, 2006, 20,000 RSUs for our directors are vested, but shares have not been issued.
     PeRSUs are RSUs, for which the number of RSUs awarded may be conditioned upon the attainment of one or more performance objectives over a specified period. Vesting of such awards ranges from one to three-year periods following the end of the performance period and may follow the graded or cliff method of vesting.
     PeRSUs are accounted for as variable awards until the performance goals are reached and the grant date is established. The fair value of PeRSUs is determined by the product of the number of shares eligible to be awarded and expected to vest, and the market price of the Company’s common stock, commencing at the inception of the requisite service period. During the performance period, the PeRSUs are re-valued using the market price and the performance modifier at the end of a reporting period. At the end of the performance period, if the goals are attained, the award is classified as a RSU and is accounted for on that basis. The fair value of PeRSUs is expensed on a straight-line basis, treating each vesting tranche as a separate award, over the requisite service period of four years. For RS and RSUs with service conditions, we have providedelected to amortize the expense on a reserve of $85 million for future resolution of these uncertain tax matters.

Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly except that it reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities or other obligations to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For 2005, because of the reported net loss, potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the per share computations due to their antidilutive effect.

10.9. Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures
     In February 1997, we issued 5% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $206 million. The Debentures were purchased by McKesson Financing Trust (the “Trust”) with proceeds from its issuance of four million shares of preferred securities to the public and 123,720 common securities to us. The Debentures represented the sole assets of the Trust and bore interest at an annual rate of 5%, payable quarterly. These preferred securities of the Trust were convertible into our common stock at the holder’s option.
     Holders of the preferred securities were entitled to cumulative cash distributions at an annual rate of 5% of the liquidation amount of $50 per security. Each preferred security was convertible at the rate of 1.3418 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The preferred securities were to be redeemed upon repayment of the Debentures and were callable by us on or after March 4, 2000, in whole or in part, initially at 103.5% of the liquidation preference per share, and thereafter at prices declining at 0.5% per annum to 100% of the liquidation preference on and after March 4, 2007 plus, in each case, accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, to the redemption date.
     During the first quarter of 2006, we called for the redemption of the Debentures, which resulted in the exchange of the preferred securities for 5 million shares of our newly issued common stock.

12. Financial Guarantees and Warranties
     Financial Guarantees
     We have agreements with certain of our Canadian customers’ financial institutions under which we have guaranteed the repurchase of inventory (primarily for our Canadian businesses), at a discount in the event these customers are unable to meet certain obligations to those financial institutions. Among other limitations, these inventories must be in resalable condition. We have also guaranteed loans and the payment of leases for some customers; and we are a secured lender for substantially all of these guarantees. Customer guarantees range from one to ten years and were primarily provided to facilitate financing for certain strategic customers. At December 31, 2005,June 30, 2006, the maximum amounts of inventory repurchase guarantees and other customer guarantees were approximately $193 million and $8$211 million of which no amounts have been accrued.
     At December 31, 2005,June 30, 2006, we had commitments of $4 million, primarily consisting of the purchase of services from our equity-held investments, for which no amounts hadhave been accrued.

     Our software license agreements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if our software products infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. To date, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification agreements and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations.
     In conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures, we may provide routine indemnification agreements (such as retention of previously existing environmental, tax and employee liabilities) whose terms vary in duration and often are not explicitly defined. Where appropriate, obligations for such indemnifications are recorded as liabilities. Because the amounts of these indemnification obligations often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of these commitments cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have historically not made significant payments as a result of these indemnification provisions.
     Warranties
     In the normal course of business, we provide certain warranties and indemnification protection for our products and services. For example, we provide warranties that the pharmaceutical and medical-surgical products we distribute are in compliance with the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and other applicable laws and regulations. We have received the same warranties from our suppliers, who customarily are the manufacturers of the products. In addition, we have indemnity obligations to our customers for these products, which have also been provided to us from our suppliers, either through express agreement or by operation of law.
     We also provide warranties regarding the performance of software and automation products we sell. Our liability under these warranties is to bring the product into compliance with previously agreed upon specifications. For software products, this may result in additional project costs which are reflected in our estimates used for the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for software installation services within these contracts. In addition, most of our customers who purchase our software and automation products also purchase annual maintenance agreements. Revenue from these maintenance agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period and the cost of servicing product warranties is charged to expense when claims become estimable. Accrued warranty costs were not material to the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Although most of the Securities Litigation matters have been resolved, as reported previously, certain matters remain pending. Significant developments in the Securities Litigation and significant events involving other litigation and claims since the date of our Form 10-K report for the year ended March 31, 2006, are as follows:
     DuringAs previously reported, in March 2006, we reached an agreement to settle all claims brought under the third quarterEmployee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) on behalf of a class of certain participants in the McKesson Profit-Sharing Investment Plan,In re McKesson HBOC, Inc. ERISA Litigation,(No. C-00-20030 RMW). Such settlement called for $19 million, plus certain accrued interest, minus certain costs and expenses such as plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. On May 19, 2006, the Honorable Ronald M.

     On July 7, 2006, in the previously disclosed actions brought by the Company against Arthur Andersen LLP (“Andersen”),McKesson Corporation et al. v Andersen et al., (No. 05-04020 RMW) and by Andersen against the Company,Andersen v. McKesson Corporation et al., (No. C-06-02035-RMW), the Company moved to dismiss Andersen’s complaint, and Andersen moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint. Those cross-motions for dismissal are presently scheduled for hearing on September 22, 2006.
     In the previously disclosed action,James Gilbert v. McKesson Corporation, et al.,(Georgia State Court, Fulton County, Case No. 02VS032502C), the parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment, and the court has not yet set a hearing date for those motions.
     In 2005, we recorded a $1,200 million pre-tax ($810 million after-tax) charge with respect to the Company’s Securities Litigation. The charge consisted of $960 million for the Consolidated Action and $240 million for other Securities Litigation proceedings, as discussed inproceedings. During 2006, we settled many of the following paragraph.
     On January 12, 2005, we announced that we had reached an agreement to settle the action captionedIn re McKesson HBOC, Inc.other Securities Litigation(N.D. Cal. Case No. C-99-20743-RMW) (the “Consolidated Action”). In general, under proceedings and paid $243 million pursuant to those settlements. Based on the agreement to settlepayments made in the Consolidated Action we agreed to payand the settlement class a total of $960 million in cash. Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees would be deducted from the settlement amount prior to payments to class members. At that time, the parties agreed on the terms of a stipulation of settlement and were finalizing the exhibits to the stipulation before submitting it to the Court. The settlement agreement was subject to various conditions, including, but not limited to, preliminary approval by the Court, notice to the Class, and final approval by the Court after a hearing. Also during the third quarter of 2005, we established a reserve of $240 million for our remaining potential exposure with respect to other previously reported Securities Litigation.
     Based onLitigation proceedings, settlements reached in certain of the other Securities Litigation proceedings and the Company’sour assessment of the remaining cases, the estimated reserves were increased by net pre-tax charges of $52 million net pre-tax duringin the first quarter of 2006 and $45 million for fiscal 2006. Additionally, on February 24, 2006, the court gave final approval to the settlement of the Consolidated Action, and as a result, we paid approximately $960 million into an escrow account established by an additional $1 million pre-tax during the third quarterlead plaintiff in connection with the settlement of 2006. Also during 2006, $227 million of cash settlements were paid.the Consolidated Action. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2005,2006, the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,026$1,014 million. The Company currently believes this
     As of June 30, 2006, amounts in escrow increased by $19 million to $981 million primarily reflecting cash transferred for the settlement of the ERISA claims as described above. Additionally, the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,008 million at June 30, 2006 which reflects a $6 million cash payment made in connection with a settlement. We believe our Securities Litigation accrual is adequate to address itsour remaining potential exposure with respect to all of the Securities Litigation.Litigation matters. However, in view of the number of remaining cases, the uncertainties of the timing and outcome of this type of litigation, and the substantial amounts involved, it is possible that the ultimate costs of these matters may exceedcould impact our earnings, either negatively or be belowpositively, in the revised reserve.

     In the Company's report as noted above, we described an agreement we reached to settleOn July 8, 2006, in the previously reported Consolidated Action. As of December 23, 2005, the deadline the Court imposed for objecting to final confirmation of the settlement, three individual class members directed letters to the Court purporting to object to the settlement. One of McKesson’s co-defendants, Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., also objected to the settlement. The Company and Lead Plaintiff responded to these objections on January 13, 2006. The hearing on the motion of the Company and Lead Plaintiff seeking final approval of the class action, settlement, originally scheduled for January 27, 2006, has been continued by the Court to February 24, 2006.

The settlement will also resolve claims asserted in two other derivative actions, one pending in federal court in California, captionedCohen v. McCall et al. (N.D. Cal. Case No. 99-20916-RMW) and one pending in state court in California, captionedMitchell v. McCall, et al.(Cal. Super. Ct., S.F. County Case No. 304415). The Delaware court has set a hearing for February 21,     On July 14, 2006, to consider approval of the settlement.
     Two previously-reported actions pending in Georgia state courts:Holcombe T. Green and HTG Corp. v. McKesson, Inc. et al.(Georgia Superior Court, Fulton County, Case No. 2002-CV-48407) andHall Family Investments, L.P. v. McKesson, Inc. et al. (Georgia Superior Court, Fulton County, Case No. 2002-CV-48612), have been consolidated for purposes of discovery and may be consolidated for purposes of trial. On January 3, 2006, the trial court granted the Company’s motion to exclude the damages opinions of plaintiffs’ expert, and partially granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ claims under the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The previously scheduled January 16, 2006 trial has been vacated, and no new trial date has been set.
II. Other Litigation and Claims
     In the previously reported litigation brought in 2000 against the Company, along with more than 100 other companies, by the Lemelson Medical, Educational & Research Foundation (the “Foundation”), the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the earlier decision of the trial court that the patents at issue were unenforceable because of prosecutorial laches. The Foundation thereupon requested that all pending cases involving the invalidated patents, including the case against the Company, be dismissed with prejudice. The granting of this unopposed request will end this litigation against the Company.
     The Company, along with two other national pharmaceutical distributors and multiple pharmaceutical manufacturers, has been named as a defendant in an amended complaintaction was filed in the United States District Court for the NorthernEastern District of California in a previously pending class action brought by The County of Santa Clara, California, on behalf of itselfNew York against the Company, two Company employees, four other drug wholesalers and others similarly situated,sixteen drug manufacturers,The County of Santa Clara vs. AmerisourceBergen CorporationRxUSA v. Alcon Laboratories et al.,(C-05-03740-WHA)(Case No. 06-CV-3447-MJT). The plaintiffPlaintiff alleges that it was overcharged for certain drugs under athe Company, along with various other defendants, unlawfully engaged in monopolization and attempted monopolization of the sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products in violation of the federal program providing discounted costs for prescription drugsantitrust laws, as well as in violation of New York State’s Donnelly Act. The Company is also alleged to eligible parties underhave violated the Public Health ServiceSarbanes-Oxley Act of 1992, Section 340B. The action seeks an accounting2002; and purportsthe Company’s employees are alleged to state claims underhave violated the California Business and Professions Code, Section 17200et seq.,Donnelly Act, the California False ClaimsSarbanes-Oxley Act and for unjust enrichment.Sections 1962 (c) and (d) of the civil Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) statute. Plaintiff alleges generally that defendants have individually, and in concert with one another, taken actions to create and maintain a monopoly and to exclude secondary wholesalers, such as the plaintiff, from the wholesale pharmaceutical industry. The complaint seeks alleged monetary damages to the plaintiff of approximately $586 million, and also seeks treble damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. The Company intendsand its employees intend to vigorously defend this action vigorously.action.
     TheAs indicated in our previous periodic reports, the health care industry is highly regulated, and government agencies continue to increase their scrutiny over certain practices affecting government programs. From time to time, the Company receives subpoenas or requests for information from various government agencies. The Company generally responds to such subpoenas and requests in a cooperative, thorough and timely manner. These responses sometimes require considerable time and effort, and can result in considerable costs being incurred by the Company. Two such subpoenas are the following: (1) the Company has received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts seeking documents relating to the Company’s business relationship with a long-term care pharmacy organization. We are cooperating with this request and are in the process of responding to the subpoena; (2) the Company has received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Tennessee. The CID indicates that the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office is investigating possible violations of the Tennessee Medicaid False Claims Act in connection with repackaged pharmaceuticals. The Company is in the process of responding to the subpoena. Because these investigations appear to be in their early stages, the Company cannot predict their outcome or impact, if any, on the Company’s business.

margins in our Medical-Surgical Solutions and Provider Technologies segments.
     During the first quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2005,of 2007, gross profit margin for our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment increased, excluding the $51 million anti-trust settlement received in 2006, primarily as a result of:
 a greater amount of antitrust settlements. Results foran increase in buy side margins which primarily reflect new agreements with the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2005 included $37 million and $88 million of cash proceeds representing our share of settlements of antitrust class action lawsuits. Results for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 included $41 million received for another settlement of an antitrust class action lawsuit,U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers,
 
higher buy side margins reflecting our progress in evolving most of our U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer agreements to generate more predictable compensation with less dependence on price increases,
 the benefit of increased sales of generic drugs with higher margins, and
a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory credit of $10 million in 2007 reflecting our expectation of a LIFO benefit for the full fiscal year. Our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment uses the LIFO method of accounting for the majority of its inventories, which results in cost of sales that more closely reflects replacement cost than do other accounting methods, thereby mitigating the effects of inflation and deflation on gross profit. The practice in the Pharmaceutical Solutions distribution business is to pass on to customers published price changes from suppliers. Manufacturers generally provide us with price protection, which prevents inventory losses. Price declines on many generic pharmaceutical products in this segment over the last few years have moderated the effects of inflation in other product categories, which resulted in minimal overall price changes in those years.
 
 higher supplier cash discounts from a change in customer mix and higher sales volume, andThese increases were partially offset by:
 
 improved selling margins which reflect customer mix. However, on a year-to-date basis selling margins approximated that of the comparable prior year period.
Partially offsetting the above, a decrease inassociated with a greater proportion of revenues within the segment’s last-in, first-out (LIFO) credit inventory benefit. Forsegment attributed to sales to customers’ warehouses, which have lower gross profit margins relative to other revenues within the quartersegment, and nine months ended December 31, 2005, a LIFO inventory benefit of $10 million and $20 million was recorded, or $10 million less than the comparable periods a year ago.
     LIFO benefits reflect the lower number of volume-weighted U.S. pharmaceutical price increases and our expectation of a LIFO benefit for the full fiscal year. Our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment uses the LIFO method of accounting for the majority of its inventories, which results in cost of sales that more closely reflects replacement cost than do other accounting methods, thereby mitigating the effects of inflation and deflation on gross profit. The practice in the Pharmaceutical Solutions distribution business is to pass on to customers published price changes from suppliers. Manufacturers generally provide us with price protection, which prevents inventory losses. Price declines on many generic pharmaceutical products in this segment over the last few years have moderated the effects of inflation in other product categories, which resulted in minimal overall price changes in those years.
     For the nine months ended December 31, 2005, gross profit margin for the segment was also impacted by reductions in other product sourcing opportunities within our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business.
     Gross profit margins decreased during the quarter and first nine months of 2006 in our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment primarily reflecting a $15 million asset impairment charge and pressure on our vendor and customer margins. In 2005, the segment entered into an agreement with a third party vendor to sell the vendor’s proprietary software and services. The terms of the contract required us to prepay certain royalties. During the third quarter of 2006, we ended marketing and sale of the software under the contract. As a result of this decision, we recorded a $15 million charge to cost of sales in the third quarter of 2006 to write-off the remaining balance of the prepaid royalties.
     Gross profit margins decreased in our Provider Technologies segment primarily reflecting a change in product mix.

In the first quarter of 2007, we contributed $36 million in cash and $45 million in net assets primarily from our Automated Prescription Systems business to Parata Systems, LLC (“Parata”), in exchange for a significant minority interest in Parata. In connection with the investment, we abandoned certain assets which resulted in a $15 million charge to cost of sales and we incurred $6 million of other expenses related to the transaction which were recorded within operating expenses. We did not recognize any additional gains or losses as a result of this transaction as we believe the fair value of our investment in Parata, as determined by a third-party valuation, approximates the carrying value of consideration contributed to Parata. Our investment in Parata will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting within our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment.

     We continue to expect share-based compensation charges to approximate $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share, or approximately $0.05 to $0.07 per diluted share more than the share-based compensation expense recognized in our net income in 2006. 2006 net income includes $0.03 per diluted share of compensation expense associated with restricted stock whose intrinsic value as of the grant date is being amortized over the vesting period. Our assessments of estimated compensation charges are affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables and the related tax impact. These variables include, but are not limited to, the volatility of our stock price, employee stock option exercise behaviors, timing, level and types of our grants of annual share-based awards, and the attainment of performance goals. As a result, the actual share-based compensation expense in 2007 may differ from the Company’s current estimate.

     As previously reported, in March 2006, we reached an agreement to settle all claims brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) on behalf of a class of certain participants in the McKesson Profit-Sharing Investment Plan,In re McKesson HBOC, Inc. ERISA Litigation,(No. C-00-20030 RMW). Such settlement called for $19 million, plus certain accrued interest, minus certain costs and expenses such as plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. On May 19, 2006, the Honarable Ronald M. Whyte entered an order preliminarily approving the proposed settlement and class notice, and preliminarily approving the action as a mandatory non opt-out settlement class. The Company currently believes thisfinal approval and fairness hearing on the settlement is scheduled for September 1, 2006.
     As of June 30, 2006, amounts in escrow increased by $19 million to $981 million primarily reflecting cash transferred for the settlement of the ERISA claims as described above. Additionally, the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,008 million at June 30, 2006 which reflects a $6 million cash payment made in connection with a settlement. We believe our Securities Litigation accrual is adequate to address itsour remaining potential exposure with respect to all of the Securities Litigation.Litigation matters.

     Income Taxes:For the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, theThe Company’s reported income tax rates were 36.3% and 32.0%. The increase in our reported income tax rates was partly due to a lower proportion of income attributed to foreign countries that have lower income tax rates.

In addition, we sold a business for net cash proceeds of $12 million. The disposition resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1 million and an after-tax loss of $5 million.
