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 July 28, 1994
     and July 29, 1993 are unaudited. The balance sheet at January 27, 1994 and
     statement of Stockholders' Equity for the year then ended, presented
     herein, have 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.

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 $128,000,000 at July 28, 1994, and $124,200,000 at July 29,
     1993, and $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 two quarters ended July 29,
     1993.

     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences
     between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
     reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.


5.   The Company repurchased 31,765 shares of its common stock from the Profit
     Sharing Plan and 401(k) Plan during the two quarters ended July 28, 1994 in
     accordance with a plan adopted by the Board of Directors in August 1989.
     The stock was purchased at current market values, totalling $1,220,000.


                                       -5-

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.   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 for the quarter and two
     quarters ended July 28,1994. The following pro forma information assumes
     that the acquisition had taken place as of the beginning of the quarter and
     two quarters ended July 29, 1993, 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
     periods 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 increased 3% to $626,310,000 for the quarter ended July 28, 1994 as
compared to $609,346,000 for the similar period last year. Sales for the two
quarters increased 3% to $1,248,569,000 as compared to $1,217,325,000 in the
prior year. Sales in the stores acquired from Bill's Drugs, Inc. was $19,800,000
for the quarter and $39,000,000 for the two quarters ended July 28, 1994.
The soft economy continues to hamper sales growth in California and Hawaii,
where the majority of Longs' stores are located.

Net income for the quarter was $12,034,000, or $.58 per share, as compared with
$12,963,000 or $.63 per share a year ago. Net income for the two quarters,
without the cumulative effect of last year's accounting change was $25,055,000,
or $1.21 per share, as compared with $23,886,000, or $1.16 per share. Net income
for the two quarters ended last year was increased by the adoption of mandated
accounting rules (SFAS 109), relating to income taxes by $3,031,000, or $.15 per
share.

Gross margins increased to 26.0% as compared to 25.5% last year, reflecting
continued benefit of the scanning systems and efforts to reduce cost of goods
sold. Operating, administrative, and occupancy expenses were in line with
expectations, increasing from 22.1% to 22.8% as a percent of sales, due
principally to wages, occupancy, and facility costs associated with a net
increase of 30 stores since the comparable period a year ago.

The acquisition of Bill's Drugs, Inc. was completed during third quarter of the
prior fiscal year. The purchase was made with the issuance of approximately
$10,300,000 in Longs common stock and the assumption of approximately
$13,600,000 in liabilities.

The Company repurchased 31,765 shares of its common stock from the Profit
Sharing Plan and 401(k) Plan during the two quarters ended July 28, 1994, at
market values totalling $1,220,000.

Expenditures for the scanning system, new store construction, store remodels,
dividends, and stock repurchases have been, and are expected to be in the
future, 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.

Two new stores were opened during the quarter and one underperforming store was
closed. A total of 308 stores were in operation at July 28, 1994. Nine new
stores, including one store to be relocated, are under construction and
additional stores are in various stages of planning.

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. The shares are awarded at the discretion of the Stock
Bonus and Compensation Review Committee, and the aggregate number of shares of
stock awarded 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.
