                   McKESSON CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
                              FINANCIAL NOTES



1.   Proposed Sale of the PCS Business

     On July 10, 1994, McKesson Corporation ("McKesson" or "the Company")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the acquisition by
Eli Lilly and Company ("Eli Lilly") of McKesson's pharmaceutical benefits
management business (the "PCS Business"), which is primarily operated by PCS
Health Systems, Inc. and Clinical Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both of which are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of McKesson, for approximately $4 billion. 

     As required by the Merger Agreement, on July 15, 1994 ECO Acquisition
Corporation, a subsidiary of Eli Lilly (the "Purchaser"), commenced a cash
tender offer to purchase from McKesson shareholders all outstanding shares of
McKesson common stock (the "Shares") at a price of $76.00 net per Share (the
"Offer").  The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, satisfaction of
the condition that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn, prior to the
expiration of the Offer, a number of Shares that represent at least a
majority of the total voting power of McKesson.  Following the purchase of
Shares under the Offer and satisfaction of certain other conditions, McKesson
and the Purchaser will merge (the "Merger") and each Share not purchased in
the Offer (other than Shares held by Eli Lilly and certain other related
entities) will be converted into the right to receive $76.00 in cash or such
higher price per Share as may be offered pursuant to the Offer, without
interest. 

     In addition, prior to the consummation of the Offer, McKesson and its
subsidiaries will (i) transfer all of the assets and liabilities of McKesson
other than those related to the PCS Business to SP Ventures, Inc., a
newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson which currently has no
assets or liabilities ("New McKesson") and (ii) declare a dividend
(conditioned upon consummation of the Offer) of one share of common stock of
New McKesson for each Share held of record as of such date (collectively, the
"Spin-Off").  After giving effect to the Spin-Off and the consummation of the
Offer, the current business of McKesson (other than its PCS Business) will be
continued through New McKesson.  The net result of the proposed transaction
is that each existing McKesson shareholder will receive a cash payment of $76
per Share (representing the proceeds from the sale of the PCS Business)
together with one common share of New McKesson for each share held as of the
record date for the Spin-Off (representing their continuing interest in the
retained businesses).

     Approximately $600 million, subject to certain adjustments, of the $4
billion will be contributed by Eli Lilly to the capital of McKesson, which
will transfer such amount to New McKesson to meet certain tax and transaction
costs and for the general corporate purposes of New McKesson, including the
funding of investments in new and current businesses.  Management believes
that consummation of the proposed transaction will result in an estimated
gain on sale of the PCS Business of approximately $500 million, after taxes,
transaction costs and other expenses.

     For financial statement purposes, New McKesson will be the continuing
entity and New McKesson will retain the name McKesson Corporation.  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements present the PCS
Business as a discontinued operation.

                              FINANCIAL NOTES



2.   Interim Financial Statements

     In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of its
financial position as of September 30, 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the six months then ended.  Such
adjustments were of a normal recurring nature.

     The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 1994
and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years.

     It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in
conjunction with the annual audited financial statements, accounting policies
and financial notes thereto included in the Company's 1994 consolidated
financial information which has previously been filed with the Commission in
a Report on Form 8-K dated July 29, 1994.


3.   Special Items

     Special items in the prior year of $37.4 million ($24.5 million
after-tax, $0.56 per fully diluted share) included a gain of $55.1 million
from the sale of 5,175,000 shares and the donation of 250,000 shares of the
Company's majority-owned Armor All Products Corporation subsidiary.  The
shares donated to the McKesson Foundation had a market value of $4.3 million. 
Also included in special items was a loss of $13.4 million resulting from the
termination of interest rate swap arrangements.  These interest rate swap
arrangements had been designated, through March 31, 1993, as a hedge of the
Company's short-term variable interest domestic borrowings.  As a result of
the Company's May 12, 1993 sale of Armor All shares and other factors, the
interest rate swap arrangements were no longer considered effective as a
hedge against the variable-rate borrowings as the Company, at that time, no
longer expected to borrow domestically on a short-term basis in fiscal 1994. 
The current year special item represents an additional contribution of Armor
All shares to the McKesson Foundation.


4.   Extraordinary Loss

     An extraordinary loss of $4.2 million was recognized in the prior year
on the early retirement of $50 million of 8-5/8% debt.


5.   Accounting Change

     As of April 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  The cumulative effect of adopting
the new standard resulted in a charge to net income of $16.7 million, net of
a $10.4 million tax benefit ($0.38 per fully diluted share).

                             FINANCIAL REVIEW


Proposed Sale of the PCS Business
- ---------------------------------

     On July 10, 1994, McKesson Corporation ("McKesson" or "the Company")
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the acquisition by
Eli Lilly and Company ("Eli Lilly") of McKesson's pharmaceutical benefits
management business (the "PCS Business"), which is primarily operated by PCS
Health Systems, Inc. and Clinical Pharmaceuticals, Inc., both of which are
wholly-owned subsidiaries of McKesson, for approximately $4 billion. 

     As required by the Merger Agreement, on July 15, 1994 ECO Acquisition
Corporation, a subsidiary of Eli Lilly (the "Purchaser"), commenced a cash
tender offer to purchase from McKesson shareholders all outstanding shares of
McKesson common stock (the "Shares") at a price of $76.00 net per Share (the
"Offer").  The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, satisfaction of
the condition that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn, prior to the
expiration of the Offer, a number of Shares that represent at least a
majority of the total voting power of McKesson.  Following the purchase of
Shares under the Offer and satisfaction of certain other conditions, McKesson
and the Purchaser will merge (the "Merger") and each Share not purchased in
the Offer (other than Shares held by Eli Lilly and certain other related
entities) will be converted into the right to receive $76.00 in cash or such
higher price per Share as may be offered pursuant to the Offer, without
interest. 

     In addition, prior to the consummation of the Offer, McKesson and its
subsidiaries will (i) transfer all of the assets and liabilities of McKesson
other than those related to the PCS Business to SP Ventures, Inc., a
newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson which currently has no
assets or liabilities ("New McKesson") and (ii) declare a dividend
(conditioned upon consummation of the Offer) of one share of common stock of
New McKesson for each Share held of record as of such date (collectively, the
"Spin-Off").  After giving effect to the Spin-Off and the consummation of the
Offer, the current business of McKesson (other than its PCS Business) will be
continued through New McKesson.  The net result of the proposed transaction
is that each existing McKesson shareholder will receive a cash payment of $76
per Share (representing the proceeds from the sale of the PCS Business)
together with one common share of New McKesson for each share held as of the
record date for the Spin-Off (representing their continuing interest in the
retained businesses).   

     Approximately $600 million, subject to certain adjustments, of the $4
billion will be contributed by Eli Lilly to the capital of McKesson, which
will transfer such amount to New McKesson to meet certain tax and transaction
costs and for the general corporate purposes of New McKesson, including the
funding of investments in new and current businesses.  Management believes
that consummation of the proposed transaction will result in an estimated
gain on sale of the PCS Business of approximately $500 million, after taxes,
transaction costs and other expenses. 

     For financial statement purposes, New McKesson will be the continuing
entity and New McKesson will retain the name McKesson Corporation.  The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements present the PCS
Business as a discontinued operation.

Overview of Results
- -------------------

     Revenues in the second quarter increased 9% to $3.26 billion, net income
declined 14% to $25.5 million and earnings per fully diluted share declined
17% to $0.54.

     Second quarter net income included income from continuing operations of
$17.1 million, net of an after-tax charge of $7 million ($0.16 per fully
diluted share) due to a credit loss arising from a problem receivable in the
Company's U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business, and $8.4 million in
earnings from discontinued operations.  Prior year results included $7.2
million of earnings from discontinued operations.

     In the first half, revenues increased 10% to $6.49 billion, net income
declined 4% to $61.5 million and earnings per fully diluted share declined 6%
to $1.33.  First half net income included income from continuing operations
of $43.5 million, net of the $7 million after-tax charge for the credit loss,
and $18.0 million in earnings from discontinued operations.  Prior year
results included an after-tax gain of $24.5 million for special items, $13.9
million in earnings from discontinued operations, an extraordinary loss of
$4.2 million after-tax on the early retirement of $50 million of 8-5/8% debt
and a $16.7 million after-tax charge for the cumulative effect of adopting
SFAS No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." 

     The prior year's special items of $37.4 million ($24.5 million
after-tax, $0.56 per fully diluted share) in continuing operations included
a pre-tax gain of $55.1 million on the sale and donation of Armor All stock,
partially offset by a contribution to the McKesson Foundation of $4.3 million
and a loss on the termination of interest rate swap arrangements of $13.4
million.  The current year special item represents an additional contribution
of Armor All shares to the McKesson Foundation.

Segment Results
- ---------------

HEALTH CARE SERVICES

     The Health Care Services segment includes the results of the Company's
U.S. pharmaceutical and health care products distribution businesses and its
international pharmaceutical operations (including Canada, Mexico, and
Central America).  The segment accounted for 97% of consolidated revenues and
64% of total operating profits in the quarter.  

     Sales of the U.S. distribution services businesses, excluding sales to
customers' warehouses, increased 11% in the quarter and the half, reflecting
real volume growth.  The increase in volume was driven by increased sales to
Valu-Rite pharmacies.  The Valu-Rite program was expanded during fiscal year
1994 to provide more profit-improvement opportunities for customers including
the establishment of a pharmacy provider network and the implementation of
expanded generic drug and private label programs.  The number of Valu-Rite
pharmacies has increased to approximately 4,800, an increase of nearly 300
since the beginning of the fiscal year.

                   McKESSON CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                             FINANCIAL REVIEW


     Operating profits for the U.S. businesses declined in the quarter and
the half as a result of the $11.5 million credit loss which offset moderate
improvement in the U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business and improved
results in the Company's Millbrook Distribution unit, a distributor of health
care products and general merchandise to supermarkets and mass merchandisers. 
Profitability in the U.S. pharmaceutical distribution business continues to
be impacted by lower forward-buying profits resulting from a slowdown in drug
price inflation and a highly competitive business environment.  Previously
disclosed measures to reduce operating expenses continue to yield results but
the gains were not sufficient to offset the impact of the pressures on gross
margins. 

     Revenues for the international pharmaceutical operations, principally
Canada, were up 8% in the quarter and 4% in the half.  Operating profits in
the international pharmaceutical operations increased in the quarter and the
half.


WATER PRODUCTS

     Revenues in the Water Products segment were up 7% in the quarter and 6%
in the half.  Sales increased to residential and commercial customers. 
However, operating profits declined 6% in the quarter and 1% in the half due
primarily to costs associated with the introduction of a new line of
single-service packaged water products and one-time costs incurred in
upgrading the company's water vending machines. 


ARMOR ALL

     Revenues from the Armor All segment increased 13% in the quarter and 16%
in the half reflecting strong new product sales offset, in part, by lower
protectant product sales.  Operating profits grew at a slower rate than
revenues, up 4% in the quarter and 12% in the half, primarily due to start-up
costs and introductory promotional spending associated with sales of new
products.


DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     Earnings from discontinued operations were up 17% in the quarter to $8.4
million and 29% in the half to $18 million.  The results of the PCS Business
are included in discontinued operations.  Sales of the PCS Business increased
31% to $51.7 million in the quarter and 34% to $103.7 million in the half. 
Operating profits in the second quarter of this year were affected by a
highly competitive claims processing environment and start-up expenses
associated with expansion of the PCS Businesses' managed care and managed
infusion programs.

     Discontinued operations also included earnings of $1.2 million in the
quarter and $1.6 million in the half resulting from settlements recovered in
insurance litigation related to environmental matters associated with the
former operations of the Company's chemical businesses, which were divested
in fiscal 1987.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Cash and short-term investments decreased $15 million in the half
compared to a $40 million decline in the prior year. 

     Net interest expense increased  in the quarter and the half due to an
increase in interest rates.  The Company's debt-to-capital ratio was 44.0% at
September 30, 1994 compared to 44.2% at March 31, 1994. 

     The effective tax rate, computed before the effect of special items, was
40.6% in the half, unchanged from the prior year.

     Fully diluted shares increased to 45 million in the half from 43.9
million in the prior year reflecting the impact of employee stock options.

     The Company is in the process of reevaluating its long-term business
strategy as a result of the planned disposition of the PCS Business.  A
revision, if any, to that strategy could result in costs being recorded in
future periods related to asset impairments, severance, relocation and other
costs associated with a future restructuring.  It is not anticipated that any
such actions would have an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.
