                                FINANCIAL NOTES
 
1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  In the opinion of the Company, these unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments necessary to a fair presentation
of its financial position as of December 31, 1996 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995. Except for certain items described in Notes 2 and 4, such adjustments
were of a normal recurring nature.
 
  Revenues and cost of sales have been restated to change the classification
of sales and cost of sales associated with sales to customers' warehouses to
present only the gross profit on such sales in revenues.
 
  The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 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 Appendix to the Company's 1996
Proxy Statement which has previously been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Such document is expected to be amended in February 1997
to reflect the discontinuance of Armor All and Millbrook.
 
2. ACQUISITIONS
 
  On November 8, 1996, the Company acquired FoxMeyer Corporation's healthcare
distribution business ("FoxMeyer"), pursuant to an expedited auction process
in the FoxMeyer Corporation bankruptcy proceeding in Wilmington, Delaware.
Through an amended sale agreement, the Company paid approximately $23 million
in cash to the debtors, paid off approximately $500 million in secured debt
and assumed an additional $75 million in other liabilities. The Company
acquired assets consisting primarily of accounts receivable and inventories of
approximately $650 million, customer contracts and fixed assets. This
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. The excess of the
fair value of net assets acquired over the purchase price, after reducing to
zero the carrying value of long-term assets which are expected to be retained
for use by the Company, was approximately $50 million (negative goodwill).
Negative goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year
period. The purchase price allocations are based on preliminary estimates and
may be subject to revision. The Company utilized proceeds from commercial
paper issuances and a note payable to a bank to fund the transaction.
 
  In April 1996, the Company acquired Automated Healthcare, Inc. ("AHI") for
$61.4 million in cash and the assumption of $3.2 million of employee stock
incentives. AHI designs, manufactures, sells and installs automated
pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care institutions. The
goodwill related to the acquisition of approximately $13.8 million is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a three to ten year period. In the
third quarter of fiscal 1997, a $48.2 million charge was recorded to write-off
the portion of the purchase price of AHI allocated to technology for which
feasibility had not been established as of the April 1996 acquisition date.
The allocation of the purchase price was finalized in the Company's third
fiscal quarter based on the completion of an independent valuation analysis.
The amounts charged to operations through December 31, 1996 approximates the
Company's estimated replacement cost for such technologies. As of April 1996,
further development costs necessary to develop the purchased technologies into
commercially viable products were estimated at approximately $1 million.
 
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
  On December 31, 1996, the Company sold its 55% equity interest in Armor All
Products Corporation ("Armor All") to The Clorox Company ("Clorox") for $221.9
million and recognized an after-tax gain of $120.2 million. At closing, after
tax proceeds of $109.8 million replaced the 6.9 million Armor All shares held
in trust as exchange property for the Company's $180 million exchangeable
debentures.

  In addition, in December 1996, the Company made the decision to divest the
net assets of its Service Merchandising Division, Millbrook Distribution
Services Inc. ("Millbrook").
 
  All of the net assets and results of operations of both Armor All and
Millbrook have been reclassified as discontinued operations. Prior year
amounts have been restated.
 
  The net assets of discontinued operations at December 31, 1996 and March 31,
1996 were as follows:

4. RESTRUCTURING, ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER CHARGES
 
  The acquisition of the assets and operations of FoxMeyer (see Note 2) has
resulted in a significant increase in sales volume, a substantial change in
the customer mix (primarily a large increase in institutional customers) and
overlapping, duplicate and "similar purpose" assets. This has required
management to reassess its operations, its distribution center network and its
business strategies, including program offerings. A plan has been developed to
optimize the network configuration from the combined distribution centers of
the Company and those acquired in the transaction which will result in the
consolidation and closure of approximately 22 distribution centers, workforce
reductions and disposal of excess, duplicate assets. Management has also

                         FINANCIAL NOTES--(CONTINUED)

reassessed strategies and program offerings for expanding certain customer
segments in light of the larger and more diverse customer base, and has
identified certain programs and investments which will no longer be pursued as
originally contemplated. Other duplicate, common purpose assets including
administrative facilities, software and other equipment have been reviewed to
identify the optimum mix for the combined companies. This has resulted in the
impairment in the value of certain assets which will not ultimately be
retained or utilized as originally intended. The foregoing has been reflected
in the valuation of the FoxMeyer assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, and
in the charges discussed below with respect to the affected assets of the
Company.
 
  The charges resulting from the impairment of assets of the Company as a
result of the integration and rationalization of the Company's distribution
operations, systems, strategies and program offerings and administrative
functions and for certain operating items are recorded in selling,
distribution and administration expenses and are summarized below (in
millions):

   Development costs and investments associated with program offerings
    which will no longer be pursued as originally contemplated........... $28.0
   Computer software which will no longer be utilized or for which the
    development program has ceased.......................................  29.3
   Costs of facilities closures--primarily write-down of assets which
    will no longer be utilized and will be disposed of...................  10.1
   Receivables reserves..................................................  15.1
   Other operating items.................................................  16.3
                                                                          -----
                                                                          $98.8
                                                                          =====
</TABLE>
 
  The disposition of properties in connection with facilities closures is
expected to occur over the next three years. Substantially all of the charges
represent the write-down of existing balances and are, accordingly, non-cash.
Balances remaining from a prior restructuring in fiscal 1995 for facilities
closures were considered in connection with the revised facilities plan after
the FoxMeyer transaction, resulting in an additional provision of $2.9
million. There were no significant changes in estimates or recharacterization
of other amounts from the prior restructuring reserves. Also included in the
charge for facilities closures is $7.2 million associated with the Company's
Canadian operation which is restructuring its distribution operations and
network following a significant change in its customer mix.
 
  The charge related to receivables reserves results from managements's
reevaluation of the U.S. Health Care business's estimated exposures for bad
debts, disputed amounts, customer allowances and rebates.
 
  Other operating items include a provision by the Water Products business of
$7.0 million for the impairment of assets in its Aqua-Vend vended water
business. Other operating items of the U.S. Health Care business consist of
$2.8 million of incremental costs incurred during a strike at a distribution
center, $1.5 million for the termination of a marketing program and certain
distributor relationships, and $5.0 million of other charges.
 
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On January 10, 1997 the Company and twelve pharmaceutical manufacturers (the
"Manufacturer Defendants") were named as defendants in the matter of FoxMeyer
Health Corporation vs. McKesson Corporation, et. al. filed in the District
Court in Dallas County, Texas. In its complaint, Plaintiff (the parent
corporation of FoxMeyer Drug Company and FoxMeyer Corporation collectively,
"FoxMeyer Corporation") alleges that, among other things, the Company (i)
defrauded Plaintiff, (ii) competed unfairly and tortiously interfered with
FoxMeyer Corporation's business operations, and (iii) conspired with the
Manufacturer Defendants, all in order to destroy FoxMeyer Corporation's
business, restrain trade and monopolize the

marketplace, and allow the Company to purchase that business at a distressed
price. Plaintiff seeks relief against all defendants in the form of
compensatory damages of a least $400 million, punitive damages, attorneys fees
and costs. The Company believes the allegations made against it in the
complaint to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.
 
  On January 28, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of privately
held General Medical Inc. for approximately $775 million, including $347
million for the equity (half of which is to be paid in newly issued Company
common stock, and half in cash), and the assumption of approximately $428
million in debt. The number of shares to be issued by the Company will be
based upon the average of the Company's common stock price shortly prior to
closing, but will be no more than approximately 3.72 million or less than
approximately 2.75 million shares. This transaction is subject to customary
conditions, including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-
Rodino Act.

 Segment Results
 
  The operating profit of the Company's continuing operations by business
segment was adversely impacted in the current year's quarter and nine months
by the previously discussed charges for restructuring, asset impairment,
purchased in-process technology and other operating items (see Financial Notes
2 and 4). In addition, the Company's U.S. Health Care segment includes the
revenues and operating results of FoxMeyer subsequent to November 8, 1996. The
Company's Armor All and Millbrook segments have been classified as
discontinued operations in the current quarter, and prior periods have been
restated accordingly (see Financial Note 3). The revenues and operating profit
of the Company's continuing operations by business segment are as follows:

(2) FY 1997 includes pre-tax charges of $140.0 million, including $67.4
    million in costs primarily associated with the integration and
    rationalization of the Company's distribution operations, systems, program
    offerings and administrative functions related to the FoxMeyer
    acquisition, and $24.4 million for receivable reserves and other operating
    items. In addition, the charge includes $48.2 million for the write-off of

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(CONTINUED)
 
 Overview of Results
 
  Net income for the third quarter increased to $38.0 million, $.86 per fully
diluted share, from $32.9 million, $.70 per share, in the prior year. For the
nine-month period ended December 31, 1996 net income was $96.2 million, $2.16
per share, compared with $97.4 million, $2.08 per share in the previous year.
The per share amounts reflect fewer shares outstanding for the fiscal 1997
periods as the Company continued to acquire shares through its repurchase
program. Income (loss) after-tax from continuing operations was $(84.3)
million and $(31.7) million for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31, 1996, respectively, compared to $28.7 million and $84.9 million
for the comparable periods of the prior year. Continuing operations for the
fiscal 1997 periods include after-tax Charges of $109.5 million and higher net
interest expense than in the comparable prior year periods. Income after taxes
from discontinued operations (Armor All and Millbrook) was $2.1 million and
$4.2 million in the third quarter periods, and $7.7 million and $12.5 million
for the nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net
income for the fiscal 1997 periods includes a $120.2 million after-tax gain on
the sale of the Company's 55% equity interest in Armor All.
 
  The effective income tax rates applicable to continuing operations for the
quarter and nine months ended December 31, 1996 differed from the effective
income tax rates for the comparable periods in fiscal 1996 primarily due to
the write-off of purchased in-process technology acquired with AHI of $48.2
million in the current period which had no associated tax benefit.
 
HEALTH CARE SERVICES
 
  The Health Care Services segment includes the operations of the Company's
U.S. pharmaceutical and health care products distribution business ("U.S.
Health Care") and its international health care distribution businesses in
Canada and Mexico, an equity basis investment ("International Health Care").
This segment accounts for approximately 98% of revenues from continuing
operations for both the three and nine month periods.
 
  Operating profit (loss) for the segment was $(86.1) million and $10.7
million for the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 1997 and
$50.1 million and $144.1 million for the comparable periods of fiscal 1996.
The fiscal 1997 amounts include $140.0 million of pre-tax Charges, modest
dilution from the FoxMeyer business and lower earnings from the international
operations.
 
  U.S. Health Care results reflect both the improvements in the Company's core
operations and the effects of the FoxMeyer acquisition. Revenues for the U.S.
Health Care operations increased by 43% for the quarter and 26% for the nine
months ended December 31, 1996. In the quarter, revenues increased by 23% as a
result of the FoxMeyer acquisition and 20% from internal growth. The
comparable percentages for the nine month periods are 8% and 18%,
respectively. Substantially all of the internal revenue growth was from real
volume increases.
 
  U.S. Health Care operating profit margins were approximately flat with the
prior year excluding the Charges and the FoxMeyer dilution. This reflects
gross margin declines from shifts in customer mix offset by an improved
operating expense ratio.
 
  International Health Care results were negatively impacted by the loss of a
major customer by Medis Health and Pharmaceutical Services in Canada, and the
lower margins on the replacement business. The nine month results for
International Health Care in the prior year include a pre-tax gain of $11.2
million from the sale of a Central American pharmaceutical manufacturing
subsidiary in the second quarter.
 
WATER PRODUCTS
 
  Revenues at McKesson Water Products Company ("MWPC") increased by
approximately 4% and 6% for the three and nine month periods ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Operating profit for the
 
                                      11

respective periods was $1.7 million and $8.5 million for the quarter periods
and $25.7 million and $31.0 million for the nine month periods ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Results include $7.0 million of pre-tax
Charges related to asset impairments in the Aqua-Vend vended water unit.
Operating profit was also adversely affected by expenses associated with
MWPC's continuing geographic expansion into Washington and Texas.
 
CORPORATE
 
  Corporate revenues include interest income which declined to $0.8 million
from $7.6 million for the three months, and to $6.7 million from $26.0 million
for the nine months of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively, reflecting lower
levels of marketable securities held for sale in the current year (see
"Liquidity and Capital Resources"). Interest-net includes the above mentioned
interest income.
 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
  The after-tax results of the discontinued operations of Armor All and
Millbrook decreased to $2.1 million in the quarter from $4.2 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 1996, and to $7.7 million from $12.5 million in the
comparable nine month periods. Revenues of Armor All decreased by 7% and
Millbrook by 17% in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 compared to the
same period in the prior year. Armor All's decrease was attributable to a
lower volume of sales in its automotive and home care segments while Millbrook
experienced strong competitive pressures and customer consolidations which
resulted in the loss of volume from several large customers in late fiscal
1996.
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
  Cash and marketable securities available for sale were $274.6 million at
December 31, 1996 and $456.2 million at March 31, 1996. The December 31, 1996
cash balances include $109.8 million from the sale of the Armor All shares
which is currently restricted and held in trust as exchange property in
connection with the Company's outstanding exchangeable debentures.
Unrestricted cash and marketable securities available for sale decreased by
$291.4 million and borrowings increased by $647.9 million during the nine
months ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in unrestricted cash balances and
marketable securities and the increase in borrowings were the result of $155.7
million in common share repurchases, funding of the FoxMeyer and AHI
acquisitions, and increased working capital requirements to support the 31%
U.S. Health Care internal sales growth (excluding sales increases from the
FoxMeyer acquisition) in December 1996 over March 1996 levels and normal
seasonal purchasing patterns. Receivables increased $511.2 million at December
31, 1996 from March 31, 1996 primarily reflecting the internal sales growth
and the FoxMeyer receivables acquired. The increase in inventory at December
31, 1996 reflects the increased sales activity and the FoxMeyer inventory
acquired as well as additional inventory that was purchased to quickly improve
service levels to FoxMeyer customers. The accounts and drafts payable increase
at December 31, 1996 reflects the restoration of FoxMeyer accounts payable to
normal levels following the acquisition, the additional sales activity and the
timing of the additional inventory purchases previously discussed. Management
expects working capital turnover to approach historical levels in the fourth
quarter. The additional borrowings were in the form of a note payable to a
bank and commercial paper issuances backed by the Company's committed
revolving credit agreements. Management believes the Company has access to
additional private credit sources and to public capital markets at favorable
terms. Funds required for future debt maturities are expected to be met by
existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, existing credit sources,
and other debt capacity available at favorable terms.
 
  Stockholders' equity was $1,007.1 million at December 31, 1996, and the net
debt-to-capital ratio was 46% compared with 27% on September 30, 1996. The net
debt-to-capital ratio for both periods was computed by reducing the
outstanding debt amount by the cash and marketable securities at the end of
the period.

                         FINANCIAL REVIEW--(CONTINUED)
 
  During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the Company purchased
approximately 3.4 million shares of its common stock for $155.7 million under
its share repurchase program. Authorization to purchase an additional 2.2
million shares remains under this program.
 
  On January 28, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire privately held General Medical Inc. for approximately
$775 million, including $347 million for the equity (half of which is to be
paid in newly issued Company common stock, and half in cash), and the
assumption of approximately $428 million in debt. The number of shares to be
issued by the Company will be based upon the average of the Company's common
stock price shortly prior to closing, but will be no more than approximately
3.72 million or less than approximately 2.75 million shares. The Company
expects to finance the cash portion of the acquisition, and refinance the debt
portion, with newly issued long term debt.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
1. On December 4, 1996, a purported stockholder class action entitled Vogel
   vs. Armstrong, et. al. was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of
   Delaware against the Company, Armor All Products Corporation ("Armor All"),
   members of Armor All's Board of Directors and The Clorox Company
   ("Clorox"). The complaint alleges that (i) the Company and Armor All's
   directors breached their fiduciary duties to Armor All's public
   shareholders by entering into an agreement to sell Armor All for an
   insufficient price, (ii) the Company and the Armor All directors, contrary
   to their fiduciary duties, consummated the sale in order to favor the
   Company over the other shareholders of Armor All, and (iii) Clorox, in
   purchasing the shares of Armor All, aided and abetted those breaches of
   fiduciary duty. Plaintiff seeks rescission, compensatory damages, interest,
   attorneys fees and costs. The Company believes the allegations made against
   it in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the
   litigation.
