McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES
(UNAUDITED)
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
     Basis of PresentationPresentation.. 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2006, and the results of operations for the quarters and six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and cash flows for the quarterssix months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 and 2005.
     The results of operations for the quarters and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 and 2005 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 2006 consolidated financial statements previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Commission (“SEC”).
     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 year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
     New 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 replacesreplaced SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedessuperseded 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 adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition. See Financial Note 4, “Share-Based Payment,” for further details.
     As a result of the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), in 2007, we now expect share-based compensation charges to approximate $0.08$0.10 to $0.10$0.12 per diluted share, or an increase of $0.02 per diluted share from our previous expectations. These charges are now expected to be approximately $0.05$0.07 to $0.07$0.09 per diluted share more than the share-based compensation expense recognized in our net income in 2006. 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.
     In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 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, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, 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.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will become effective for us in 2009. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157; however, we do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (CONTINUED)(Continued)
(UNAUDITED)(Unaudited)
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” which requires us to recognize the funded status of our defined benefit plans in the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the funded status in comprehensive income. This standard also requires us to recognize the gains/losses, prior year service costs and transition assets/obligations as a component of other comprehensive income upon adoption, and provide additional annual disclosure. SFAS No.158 does not affect the computation of benefit expense recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. The recognition and disclosure provisions are effective in 2007. In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires us to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the year-end balance sheet date effective in 2009. We are required to apply the provisions of this standard prospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 158 on our consolidated financial statements.
     In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This guidance indicates that the materiality of a misstatement must be evaluated using both the rollover and iron curtain approaches. The iron curtain approach quantifies a misstatement based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, while the rollover approach quantifies a misstatement based on the amount of the error originating in the current year income statement. SAB No. 108 is effective for our 2007 annual consolidated financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact of SAB No. 108; however, we do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Acquisitions and Investments
     In the first quarterhalf of 2007, we acquired the following three entities for a total cost of $87$91 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$60 million.
     In addition, 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 beis accounted for under the equity method of accounting within our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment.
     In 2006, we made the following acquisitions:
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$158 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.

(Unaudited)
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$60 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 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. Pro forma results of operations for our business acquisitions have not been presented because the effects were not material to the consolidated financial statements on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

     In July 2006, we signed an agreement to sell our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment’s Acute Care supply business to Owens & Minor, Inc. (“OMI”) for net cash proceeds of approximately $160 million, subject to certain adjustments. This transaction closed on September 30, 2006. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the financial results of this business are classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Such presentation includes the classification of all applicable assets of the disposed business under the caption “Prepaid expenses and other” and all applicable liabilities under the caption “Other” under “Current Liabilities”

3. Discontinued Operationwithin our condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Revenues associated with the Acute Care business were $274 million and $260 million for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, and $573 million and $528 million for the first halves of 2007 and 2006.
     DuringFinancial results for this discontinued operation include an after-tax loss of $67 million, which primarily consists of an after-tax loss of $61 million for the business’ disposition and $6 million of after-tax losses associated with operations, other asset impairment charges and employee severance costs. The after-tax loss of $61 million for the business’ disposition includes a $79 million non-tax deductible write-off of goodwill, as further described below.
     In connection with this divestiture, we allocated a portion of our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment’s goodwill to the Acute Care business as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The allocation was based on the relative fair values of the Acute Care business and the continuing businesses that are being retained by the Company. The fair value of the Acute Care business was determined based on the net cash proceeds resulting from the divestiture and the fair value of the continuing businesses was determined by a third-party valuation. As a result, we allocated $79 million of the segment’s goodwill to the Acute Care business.
     Additionally, as part of the divestiture, we entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with OMI under which we will continue to provide certain services to the Acute Care business during a transition period of approximately nine months. We also anticipate incurring approximately $6 million of pre-tax employee severance charges over the transition period. These charges, as well as the financial results from the TSA, will be recorded as part of discontinued operations. The continuing cash flows generated from the TSA are not anticipated to be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     In the second quarter of 2007, we also sold a wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmaceutical Buyers Inc. (“PBI”), for net cash proceeds of $10 million. The divestiture resulted in an after-tax gain of $5 million resulting from the tax basis of the subsidiary exceeding its carrying value. Financial results of this business, which were previously included in our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment, have been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These results were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     Results for discontinued operations for 2007 also include an after-tax gain of $4 million associated with the collection of a note receivable from a business sold in 2003.
     In the second quarter of 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, McKesson BioServices Corporation (“BioServices”), for net cash proceeds of $63 million.

4. Share-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 JuneSeptember 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 and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006, $9$27 million and $36 million of excess tax benefits were recognized.
     In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we elected the “short-cut” method for calculating the beginning balance of the 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 consolidated financial statements.
     I. Impact on Net Income
     During the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2007, we recorded $8$16 million and $24 million of pre-tax share-based compensation expense, compared to $7$25 million and $32 million pre-tax pro forma expense for the first quarter of 2006. Totalcomparable prior year periods. The share-based compensation expense for the second quarter and first half of 2007 was comprised of RS, RSUs and PeRSUs expense of $8$12 million and $20 million, stock option expense of $1$2 million and $3 million, and employee stock purchase plan expense of $2 million offset in part byand $4 million. The amount for the first half of 2007 also included 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).

     II. SFAS No. 123 Pro Forma Information for 2006
     As noted above, prior to April 1, 2006 we accounted for our employee share-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25. 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 JuneSeptember 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 reduced 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-outstandingthen 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.

McKESSON CORPORATION
FINANCIAL NOTES (Continued)

     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 2007 2006
Expected stock price volatility  27%  37%  27%  36%
Expected dividend yield  0.5%  0.6%  0.5%  0.5%
Risk-free interest rate  5%  4%  5%  4%
Expected life (in years) 5 6  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.

     The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the second quarters and first quartershalves of 2007 and 2006 was $23$69 million and $51$58 million and $92 million and $109 million. The total fair value of stock options vested in the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2007 was nil and $1 million.

Cash received from the exercise of stock options in the second quarters and first quartershalves of 2007 and 2006 was $50$117 million and $155$113 million and $167 million and $268 million, and the related tax benefits realized were $8$27 million and $19$29 million and $35 million and $48 million. Total compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested stock options not yet recognized at JuneSeptember 30, 2006 was approximately $23$21 million, and the weighted-average period over which the cost is expected to be recognized is 3 years.
     V. RS, RSUs and PeRSUs
     RS and RSUs, which entitle the holder to receive, at the end of a vesting term, a specified number of shares of McKessonthe Company’s common stock, are accounted for at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of RS and RSUs under our stock plans is determined by the product of the number of shares that are expected to vest and the grant date market price of the Company’s common 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 expensed on a 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2006, 20,00040,000 RSUs for our directors are vested, but shares have not been issued.
     PeRSUs are RSUs for which the number of RSUs awarded may be conditionedconditional 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 elected to amortize the expense on a straight-line basis.

     VI. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
     The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions. The deductions occur over three-month purchase periods and the shares are then purchased at 85% of the market price at the end of each purchase period. Employees are allowed to terminate their participation in the ESPP at any time during the purchase period prior to the purchase of the shares, and any amounts accumulated during that period are refunded.
     The 15% discount provided to employees on these shares is included in compensation expense. The funds outstanding at the end of a quarter are included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. These amounts have not been significant.
5. Income Taxes
     During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a credit to income tax expense of $83 million which primarily pertains to our receipt of a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) holding that our payment of approximately $960 million to settle our Securities Litigation Consolidated Action is fully tax-deductible. We previously established tax reserves to reflect the lack of certainty regarding the tax deductibility of settlement amounts paid in the Consolidated Action and related litigation.

     In connection with the D&K acquisition, in 2006 we recorded $10 million of liabilities relating to employee severance costs and $28 million for facility exit and contract termination costs. Approximately 260 employees, consisting primarily of distribution, general and administrative staff, were terminated as part of this restructuring plan. To date, $8 million of severance and $7 million of exit costs have been paid. In connection with the Company’s investment in Parata, $13 million of contract termination costs that were initially estimated as part of the D&K acquisition were extinguished and, as a result, the Company decreased goodwill and decreased its restructuring liability during the first half of 2007. At September 30, 2006, the remaining severance liability for this plan was $2 million, which is anticipated to be paid by the end of 2007, and the remaining facility exit liability was $7 million, which is anticipated to be paid at various dates through 2015.

8.9. Financing ActivityActivities
     In June 2006, we renewed our committed accounts receivable sales facility. The facility was renewed under substantially similar terms to those previously in place with the exception that the facility amount was reduced to $700 million from $1.4 billion. The renewed facility expires in June 2007. At JuneSeptember 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, there were no amounts utilizedoutstanding under any of our borrowing facilities.
9.10. 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2006, the maximum amounts of inventory repurchase guarantees and other customer guarantees were approximately $211$214 million and $7 million of which no amounts havea nominal amount has been accrued.
     At JuneSeptember 30, 2006, we had commitments of $4$2 million, primarily consisting of the purchase of services from our equity-held investments, for which no amounts havehad been accrued.
     In addition, our banks and insurance companies have issued $108$105 million of standby letters of credit and surety bonds on our behalf in order to meet the security requirements for statutory licenses and permits, court and fiduciary obligations, and our workers’ compensation and automotive liability programs.

     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.
13. Contract Settlement
     During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that settled a patent infringement litigation brought by us against TriZetto Group, Inc. (“TriZetto”) and filed on September 13, 2004,McKesson Information Solutions LLC v. The TriZetto Group, Inc. (No. 04-1258-SLR). In the lawsuit, we alleged that sales of clinical editing functionality included in TriZetto’s Facets®, QicLinkTM and ClaimFacts® software products infringed one of our patents. As part of the Settlement Agreement, TriZetto will pay us a one-time royalty fee of $15 million (payable in two equal installments in October 2006 and September 2007) for a license for the relevant patent that covers past and future use of TriZetto products and services by all of their existing customers. TriZetto will continue to include its clinical editing functionality in versions of Facets® sold to new health plan customers with 100,000 or fewer members and in versions of QicLinkTM sold to any new customers. TriZetto has also agreed to pay us a royalty fee of 5% of the net licensing revenue received from new sales of Facets® and QicLinkTM containing its clinical editing functionality. Additionally, as part of the Settlement Agreement, TriZetto will no longer include its clinical editing functionality in versions of Facets® sold to new customers with more than 100,000 members, beginning November 1, 2006. In these cases, new customers may choose their clinical editing solution from available third-party providers, including McKesson. The Company expects to amortize the $15 million settlement over the four-year term of the contract, commencing in the third quarter of 2007.
14. Other Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
     I. Securities Litigation
     In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 and in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we reported on numerous legal proceedings, including those arising out of our 1999 announcement of accounting improprieties at HBO & Company (“HBOC”), now known as McKesson Information Solutions LLC (the “Securities Litigation”). 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 datedates of our Form 10-K report for the year ended March 31, 2006,those reports are as follows:
     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 the payment of $19 million, plus certain accrued interest, minus certain costs and expenses such as plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. On May 19,September 1, 2006, the Honorable Ronald M. Whyte entered an order preliminarily approvinggranting final approval to the proposed settlement. The net cash proceeds of the settlement and class notice, and preliminarily approving the action as a mandatory non opt-out settlement class.were distributed in October 2006. The order of final approval, and fairness hearing on the settlement is scheduled for September 1, 2006.

expiration of the time in which an appeal could have been taken from that order, concludes this matter.
     On July 7,September 22, 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), a hearing was conducted on the motions of the Company moved to dismiss Andersen’s complaint, and Andersen movedAndersen’s motion 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 theThe court has not yet set a hearing date forruled on either of those motions.
     In 2005, as previously reported, 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 Actionpreviously reported action in the Northern District of California captioned,In re McKesson HBOC, Inc. Securities Litigation, (No. C-99-20743 RMW) (the “Consolidated Action”) and $240 million for other Securities Litigation proceedings. During 2006, we settled many of the other Securities Litigation proceedings and paid $243 million pursuant to those settlements. Based on the payments made in the Consolidated Action and the other Securities Litigation proceedings, settlements reached in certain of the other Securities Litigation proceedings and our assessment of the remaining cases, the estimated reserves wereaccrual was increased by net pre-tax charges of $52 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $45 million for fiscal 2006. Additionally, on February 24, 2006, the courtCourt 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 the lead plaintiff in connection with the settlement of the Consolidated Action. As of March 31, 2006,

the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,014 million. The timing of any distribution of escrowed funds is uncertain in that it is conditioned on completion of the class claims administration process and also, the Company believes, on the final resolution of the pending Bear Stearns & Co. appeal.
     During the second quarter of 2007, our Securities Litigation accrual was decreased by a net pre-tax credit of $6 million representing the settlement of the ERISA claims as described above and a reassessment of another case. The Securities Litigation accrual also reflects a $6 million cash payment made in 2007 in connection with a settlement. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2006, the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,002 million. Additionally, as of September 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.claims. We believe our Securities Litigation accrual isreserves are adequate to address our remaining potential exposure with respect to all of the Securities 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 could impact our earnings, either negatively or positively, in the quarter of their resolution. We do not believe that the resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity or financial position taken as a whole.
     II. Other Litigation and Claims
     On July 8, 2006, in theAs previously reported, a civil class actionGary Dutton v. D&K Healthcare Resources, Inc. et al.,(Case No. 4-04-CV-00147-SNL), complaint was filed against the court ruled on the motions to dismiss filed by all defendants. The motions of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and one non-officer former employee of D&K were granted; and the motions of D&K and the former D&K officer defendants were denied.

U.S. Healthcare sales to customers’ warehouses increased primarily as a result of new and expanded agreements with customers.customers, offset in part by a decrease in volume from a large customer. Additionally, revenues for our U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business were negatively impacted by one less sales day in 2007 compared to 2006.

     During the first quarter of 2007, grossGross profit margin for our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment increased excludingduring the $51second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of the benefit of increased sales of generic drugs with higher margins and the receipt of $10 million anti-trustof cash proceeds representing our share of a settlement receivedof an antitrust class action lawsuit. In addition, gross profit margin for this segment has experienced a stabilization of its U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business’ sell and buy side margins in 2006,2007.
     Gross profit margin for our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment increased during the first half of 2007 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily as a result of:
an increase in buy side margins which primarily reflect new agreements with the U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturers,
 the benefit of increased sales of generic drugs with higher margins, and
 
 a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory credit of $20 million in the first half of 2007 compared with $10 million in 2007 reflectingthe first half of 2006. These LIFO credits reflect 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.
 
  These increases were partially offset by:
 
a decrease in amounts of antitrust settlements. Results for the first half of 2007 and 2006 included $10 million and $51 million of cash proceeds representing our share of settlements of various antitrust class action lawsuits,
 a decrease associated with a greater proportion of revenues within the segment attributed to sales to customers’ warehouses, which have lower gross profit margins relative to other revenues within the segment, and

     During the first quarter of 2007, 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. As a result of the implementation, included in our second quarter and first half 2007 operating expenses, we recorded $8$16 million and $24 million of pre-tax share-based compensation expense, or $4$13 million and $17 million more than the same periodperiods a year ago. Share-based compensation expense for 2007 included a credit of $3 million for a cumulative effect adjustment to reflect estimated forfeitures relating to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

     We continue tonow expect share-based compensation charges to approximate $0.08$0.10 to $0.10$0.12 per diluted share, or an increase of $0.02 per diluted shares more than our previous expectations. These charges are now expected to be approximately $0.05$0.07 to $0.07$0.09 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.

     Corporate expenses, net of other income, increased during the second quarter of 2007 primarily reflecting additional costs incurred to support various initiatives, and an increase in expenses associated withemployee share-based compensation costs and a pension settlement expense.

     Securities Litigation Charges, Net:In 2005, we recorded a $1,200 million pre-tax ($810 million after-tax) charge with respect to the Company’s Securities Litigation.

During 2006, we settled many of the other Securities Litigation proceedings and paid $243 million pursuant to those settlements. Based on the payments made in the Consolidated Action and the other Securities Litigation proceedings, settlements reached in certain of the other Securities Litigation proceedings and our assessment of the remaining cases, the estimated reserves wereaccrual was increased by pre-tax charges of $52 million in the first quarter of 2006 and $45 million for fiscal 2006. Additionally, on February 24, 2006, the courtCourt 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 the lead plaintiff in connection with the settlement of the Consolidated Action. As of March 31, 2006, the Securities Litigation accrual was $1,014 million. The timing of any distribution of escrowed funds is uncertain in that it is conditioned on completion of the class claims administration process and also, the Company believes, on the final resolution of the pending Bear Stearns & Co. appeal.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the financial results of this business are classified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenues associated with the Acute Care business were $274 million and $260 million for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, were 35.4% and 35.6%.$573 million and $528 million for the first halves of 2007 and 2006. Financial results for this discontinued operation include an after-tax loss of $67 million, which primarily consists of an after-tax loss of $61 million for the business’ disposition and $6 million of after-tax losses associated with operations, other asset impairment charges and employee severance costs. The after-tax loss of $61 million for the business’ disposition includes a $79 million non-tax deductible write-off of goodwill, as further described below.

     Discontinued Operation:DuringIn connection with this divestiture, we allocated a portion of our Medical-Surgical Solutions segment’s goodwill to the Acute Care business as required by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The allocation was based on the relative fair values of the Acute Care business and the continuing businesses that are being retained by the Company. The fair value of the Acute Care business was determined based on the net cash proceeds resulting from the divestiture and the fair value of the continuing businesses was determined by a third-party valuation. As a result, we allocated $79 million of the segment’s goodwill to the Acute Care business.
     Additionally, as part of the divestiture, we entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) with OMI under which we will continue to provide certain services to the Acute Care business during a transition period of approximately nine months. We also anticipate incurring approximately $6 million of pre-tax employee severance charges over the transition period. These charges, as well as the financial results from the TSA, will be recorded as part of discontinued operations. The continuing cash flows generated from the TSA are not anticipated to be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     In the second quarter of 2007, we also sold a wholly-owned subsidiary, Pharmaceutical Buyers Inc. (“PBI”), for net cash proceeds of $10 million. The divestiture resulted in an after-tax gain of $5 million resulting from the tax basis of the subsidiary exceeding its carrying value. Financial results of this business, which were previously included in our Pharmaceutical Solutions segment, have been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. These results were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     Results for discontinued operations for 2007 also include an after-tax gain of $4 million associated with the collection of a note receivable from a business sold in 2003.
     In the second quarter of 2006, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, McKesson BioServices Corporation (“BioServices”), for net cash proceeds of $63 million. The divestiture resulted in an after-tax gain of $13 million or $0.04 per diluted share. Themillion.

This calculation also includes the impact of dilutive securities (stock options, convertible junior subordinated debentures and restricted stock).
     These pro forma amounts are non-GAAP financial measures. We use these measures internally and consider these results to be useful to investors as they provide the most relevant benchmarks of core operating performance.
     Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding:Diluted earnings per share were calculated based on an average number of diluted shares outstanding of 309305 million and 313316 million for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006 and 307 million and 315 million for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2006 and 2005. The decrease in the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding reflects a decrease in the number of common shares outstanding as a result of repurchased stock, partially offset by exercised stock options, as well as an increase in the common stock equivalents from stock options due to the increase in the Company’s common stock price.

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.

Item 5. Other Information
     NoneInternal Revenue Code Section 409A (“Code Section 409A”) affects the way nonqualified deferred compensation plans are designed and administered and is effective with respect to amounts deferred, vested or accrued after December 31, 2004. On October 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of McKesson Corporation (the “Company”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Severance Policy for Executive Employees, the 2005 Stock Plan and the Executive Benefit Retirement Plan, each effective January 1, 2005 primarily to conform the plans to the requirements of Code Section 409A. In addition to the changes required by code Section 409A, the Compensation Committee amended the Executive Benefit Retirement Plan to provide for a lump sum payment as the default form of payment upon retirement from the Company and the Severance Policy for Executive Employees to provide for reimbursement of COBRA premium payments during the severance period and to expand eligibility by allowing the Compensation Committee to designate certain non-executive employees as eligible employees under the policy.
     Also in response to Code Section 409A, on October 27, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the amended and restated Long Term Incentive Plan and adopted two new nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the Deferred Compensation Plan III (“DCAP III”) and the Supplemental PSIP II. Both plans are successor plans to existing Company nonqualified deferred compensation plans, and all three plans are intended to comply with Code Section 409A.
     In addition, on October 27, 2006, the Board approved a new plan, the Change in Control Policy for Selected Executive Employees (the “Change in Control Policy”), effective November 1, 2006. The Change in Control Policy provides severance payments to certain employees of the Company (including executive officers) upon separation from service, without cause (as defined in the policy) or for good reason (as defined in the policy), as the result of a change in control of the Company. The Change in Control Policy replaces any individual agreements between the Company and its officers with respect to change in control benefits (except with respect to Mr. Hammergren, Mr. Julian and Ms. Pure, each of whom has a written employment agreement with the Company as described below) and expands eligibility for benefits to a larger employee group. Participants in the Change in Control Policy are designated by the Compensation Committee to participate in one of three tiers. Tier one participants are entitled to a cash benefit equal to 2.99 times earnings (as defined in the policy), tier two participants are entitled to a cash benefit equal to two times earnings and tier three participants are entitled to a cash benefit equal to one times earnings. Change in Control Policy participants are eligible for a gross-up payment if the change in control benefits paid under the policy are subject to an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999. In addition, if a tier one participant is covered by the Executive Benefit Retirement Plan, his or her straight life annuity benefits under that plan will be calculated by adding three additional years of age and three additional years of service to the participant’s actual age and service. Tier one participants are eligible for three years of continued coverage under the applicable health and life insurance plans, tier two participants are eligible for two years of continued coverage and tier three participants for one year of continued coverage. All participants are eligible for outplacement services as determined by the Executive Vice President, Human Resources.
     Also in response to Code Section 409A, on October 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved amended and restated employment agreements with its executive officers John Hammergren (Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer), Paul Julian (Executive Vice President and Group President) and Pamela Pure (Executive Vice President and President, McKesson Provider Technologies). Each employment agreement has a new initial three-year term. The employment agreements were amended and restated primarily to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A; however, additional amendments were made. Specifically each employment agreement has been updated to address state law considerations with respect to the non-competition, non-solicitation and nondisclosure covenants.
     Other amendments made to the employment agreements include the following:
The Company, in consultation and agreement with the executive, has the authority to delay or restructure payments under the agreement to avoid triggering tax and interest penalties under Code Section 409A;
To the extent that severance payments or benefits payable under the agreements are subject to the Code Section 409A required delay in payment to specified employees, the deferred compensation will earn interest at the crediting rate provided for in DCAP III during the delayed payment period;
The Company agrees to indemnify the executive for any liability that he or she may incur under Code Section 409A as a direct result of the Company’s failure to administer the employment agreement in compliance with

McKESSON CORPORATION
Code Section 409A. The executive would not be indemnified for any liability that he or she incurs under Code Section 409A as a result of his or her own willful acts or omissions; and
The provisions of the Change in Control Policy (described above) are included in the amended employment agreements.
     Mr. Julian’s and Ms. Pure’s employment agreements were further amended to provide the following benefits upon the executive’s separation from service (without cause or for good reason) as a result of a change in control: tier one change in control benefits as described in the Change in Control Policy; continued medical coverage; acceleration of long-term incentives (as provided in the Company’s long-term incentive plans); and a gross-up payment if the change in control benefits are subject to excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999. Finally, pursuant to Mr. Julian’s employment agreement, his target incentive under the 2005 Management Incentive Plan of McKesson Corporation has been increased to 110% for Fiscal Year 2008.
     Also on October 27, 2006, following a comprehensive review of compensation practices and levels for non-employee directors, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual retainer for non-employee directors to $75,000, and an increase in the Committee Chair annual retainers of $5,000 which will result in a $20,000 annual retainer for the Chair of the Audit Committee and $10,000 for each of the Chairs of the Finance Committee and the Committee on Directors and Corporate Governance. The annual retainer for the Chair of the Compensation Committee was increased to $20,000 from $5,000. These changes became effective on October 1, 2006. No further changes were made to the non-employee directors’ compensation program.
     Additionally, an annual retainer of $10,000 was established for the Presiding Director effective July 25, 2007. The role of Presiding Director is rotated annually among the Committee Chairs.
