NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The consolidated financial statements include Longs Drug Stores Corporation
     (Company) and Longs Drug Stores California, Inc., its wholly-owned
     subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
     eliminated. The statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with
     the accounting policies described in the Annual Report of the Company
     previously filed with the Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended
     January 27, 1994, and reflect all adjustments and eliminations which are,
     in management's opinion, necessary for a fair statement of the results for
     the periods. The financial statements for the periods ended April 28, 1994
     and April 29, 1993 are unaudited. The balance sheet at January 27, 1994,
     and Statement of Stockholders' Equity for the year then ended, presented
     herein, has been prepared from the audited financial statements of the
     Company.

2.   Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements
     in order to conform to current financial statement presentation.
     Outstanding checks of $19.5 million at April 28, 1994, $17.2 million at
     April 29, 1993, and $18.4 million at January 27, 1994 are included in
     accounts payable. This classification was adopted during the second quarter
     of fiscal 1994, and reported "net cash provided by operating activities"
     was increased by $262,000 for the quarter ended April 29, 1993.

3.   The financial statements have been prepared using the LIFO method of
     accounting for inventories. The excess of specific cost inventory over LIFO
     valuation was $127,400,000 at April 28, 1994, $122,000,000 at April 29,
     1993, $126,000,000 at January 27, 1994. A final valuation of inventory
     under the LIFO method can be made only after year-end based on ending
     inventory levels and inflation rates for the year. Interim LIFO
     calculations are based on management's estimates of year-end inventory
     levels and inflation rates for the year.

4.   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
     109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective January 29, 1993. This
     statement requires that the liability method of accounting for income taxes
     be used rather than the deferred method. The cumulative effect of adopting
     SFAS No. 109 on the Company's financial statement was to increase net
     income by $3,031,000 ($.15 per share) for the three months ended April 29,
     1993.

    Taxes on income consists of the following:

5.   The Company repurchased 31,000 shares of its common stock from the Profit
     Sharing Plan during the quarter ended April 28, 1994, in accordance with a
     stock repurchase plan adopted by the Board of Directors in August 1989. The
     stock was repurchased at current market values totalling $1,200,000.

6.   The Company has a Profit Sharing Plan covering all full-time employees with
     over 1,000 hours of service. The Company makes annual contributions subject
     to provisions of the Plan. Company contributions are allocated to
     individual employees' accounts based upon wages paid up to a $75,000 wage
     maximum for each employee.

     In 1989, the Company sold 696,864 shares of Longs' common stock to the
     Plan for $25 million. The Plan financed this purchase with a ten-year loan
     which is guaranteed by Longs Drug Stores California, Inc. A Guarantee of
     Profit Sharing Plan Debt is shown on the Company's balance sheets with
     corresponding reduction of Stockholders'Equity. The Company considers all
     shares allocated to the Plan as outstanding for Earnings per Share
     calculations. Dividends on all shares are recorded as a reduction of
     Retained Earnings.

     Shares are released for allocation to member accounts over the ten-year
     term of the loan as principal and interest payments are made. Loan
     repayments are made with dividends on allocated and unallocated shares
     held by the Plan and with Company contributions. Members are allocated
     shares of Longs common stock equal in value to the cash dividends on their
     allocated shares used to repay the loan. The Company has no obligation to
     repurchase outstanding shares held by the Plan. Periodically, the Company
     has been willing to repurchase shares to provide the Plan with needed
     liquidity.

         Plan shares of the leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

7.   ACQUISITION OF BILL'S DRUGS, INC.

     In September 1993, the Company purchased (in a non-cash transaction)
     substantially all of the assets of Bill's Drugs, Inc. (Bill's), a chain of
     drug stores located in Northern California. The transaction was reported
     under the purchase method of accounting.

     Results of operations of the Bill's stores after the purchase date are
     included in the Statement of Consolidated Income presented herein. The
     following pro forma information assumes that the acquisition had taken
     place as of the beginning of the period presented and includes adjustments
     for additional depreciation and amortization reflecting the fair market
     value of the assets acquired. Earnings per share were computed as if the
     shares issued in the acquisition of Bill's had been issued at the beginning
     of the period presented. The pro forma information is not necessarily
     indicative of the results of operations as they may be in the future or as
     they would have been had the transaction been effected on the assumed
     dates.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the quarter ended April 28, 1994, grew 2.3% to $622,259,000 as
compared to $607,979,000 for the similar period last year. Sales in the stores
acquired from Bill's Drugs, Inc. totaled $19.2 million. Net income for the
quarter increased 19.2% to $13,021,0000, or $.63 per share, as compared to last
year's $10,923,000, or $.53 per share before last year's one-time accounting
change. Net income for the first quarter of last year was increased by the
adoption of mandated rules (SFAS 109) relating to income taxes by $3,031,000, or
$.15 per share.

Gross margins increased to 26.5% as compared to 25.2% last year, reflecting
purchasing efforts to reduce cost of merchandise sold. Operating,
administrative, and occupancy expenses were in line with expectations. They
increased from 22.3% to 23.0% of sales, due principally to wages, occupancy and
facility charges associated with the increase of 33 stores.

The acquisition of Bill's Drugs, Inc. was completed during the quarter ended
October 28, 1993. The purchase was made with the issuance of approximately $10.4
million in Longs common stock and the assumption of approximately $13.6 million
in liabilities.

The Company repurchased 31,000 shares of its common stock from the Profit
Sharing Plan for the quarter ended April 28, 1994, at market values totalling
$1.2 million.

Expenditures for the scanning system, new store construction, store remodels,
dividends, and stock repurchases have been, and are expected in the future to be
funded from operations and cash reserves.  To maintain desired working capital,
the Company may periodically use short-term lines of credit available from
several banks.

Four new stores were opened during the quarter and two underperforming stores
were closed.  A total of 307 stores were in operation at April 28, 1994.  Six
new stores are under construction, and additional stores are in various stages
ofplanning.

On May 17, 1994, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1995 Long-Term
Incentive Plan.  Key employees will be rewarded with opportunities in the form
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, or
performance share awards.  Awards are made at the discretion of the Stock Bonus
and Compensation Review Committee, and the aggregate number of shares may not
exceed 700,000.  This plan is designed to enhance the profitable growth of the
Company by strengthening the employees' commitment to the welfare of the
Company.
