PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

New McKesson (the "Company") was organized in the state of Delaware on July
7, 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of McKesson Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("McKesson"), for the purpose of owning and operating the businesses
of McKesson following the acquisition of McKesson's pharmaceutical benefits
management business ("PCS") by a subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, for
approximately $4 billion (the "PCS Transaction").

For financial statement purposes, the Company is the continuing entity and
has retained the name McKesson Corporation. PCS is reflected as a discontinued
operation in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

During fiscal 1996, the Company made several key acquisitions and
investments reflecting its increased focus on health care.

In December 1995, the Company acquired Ogden BioServices Corporation,
renamed McKesson Bioservices Corporation, which provides support services to
commercial, non-profit and governmental organizations engaged in drug
development and biomedical research. Also during fiscal 1996, the Company
acquired interests in two companies engaged in the development of new
technology-based initiatives to enhance the Health Care Services segment's
competitive position.

In addition, during fiscal 1996 the Company made significant internal
investments in technology-based initiatives to improve its competitiveness in
the retail and institutional market segments. The CareMax(SM) and OmniLink(SM)
programs provide value-added programs and services designed to improve the
profitability and competitiveness of community pharmacies. The BidLink(SM) and
SupplyNET(SM) programs are designed to assist institutional consumers in
enhancing logistics, contract compliance and utilization management.

In April 1996, the Company acquired Automated Healthcare, Inc. which
provides automated pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use by health care
institutions.

In May 1995, the Company announced its intention to repurchase from time to
time up to 3.5 million shares of its common stock in open market or private
transactions. During fiscal 1996, the Company repurchased 1.35 million shares
for $63 million. On May 31, 1996, the Company announced the authorization for
the repurchase of an additional 3.5 million common shares and that substantially
all of the shares in the initial authorization had been repurchased.

Developments which could be considered significant to individual segments
of the business are described under (c)(1) "Narrative Description of Business"
on pages 2 through 6 of this report.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

Financial information for the three years ended March 31, 1996 appears in
Financial Note 15, "Segments of Business", on pages 37 and 38 of the Appendix to
the Company's 1996 Proxy Statement, which note is incorporated herein by
reference.

(c) Narrative Description of Business

(1) Description of Segments of Business

The principal segments of the Company's business are:

Health Care Services
Service Merchandising
Water Products
Armor All


Health Care Services

Products & Markets

Wholesale Distribution of Pharmaceutical & Health Care Products -- Within
the United States and Canada, the Company is the largest wholesale distributor
of ethical and proprietary drugs and health and beauty care products. Its
products are distributed to chain and independent drug stores, hospitals,
alternate care sites, food stores and mass merchandisers. This business
requires large inventories, significant amounts of which are financed by related
payables. In addition, the Company owns a 22.7% equity interest in Nadro, S.A.
de C.V. the leading pharmaceutical wholesaler in Mexico.

Using the names "Economost" and "Econolink" and a number of related service
marks, the Company has promoted electronic order entry systems and a wide range
of computerized merchandising and asset management services for drug retailers
and hospitals. The Company is also a supplier of computer systems and software
for pharmacy management.

Voluntary Marketing Program -- Under the Valu-Rite(R) pharmacy program, the
Company provides its independent U.S. retail drug store customers with a common
marketing identity, group advertising, purchasing programs, promotional
merchandise and access to a pharmacy provider network. At March 31, 1996,
approximately 5,050 stores were participating in the Valu-Rite program. Similar
programs are available to independent drug stores through other drug
wholesalers. The Company provides similar services to retail drug stores in
Canada. Independent pharmacists will have access to OmniLink through CareMax, a
new pharmacy network. This will enable CareMax members to take advantage of new
profit opportunities through improved access to managed care networks and
programs designed to enhance patient care.

OmniLink is a centralized pharmacy computer application offered to all the
Company's retail customers. OmniLink enables pharmacists to streamline pharmacy
transactions, increase transaction accuracy, and participate in patient care
programs. Using OmniLink, retailers can better manage and serve customers,
pharmacy benefit managers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and managed care
organizations.

In the institutional market segment, BidLink enables hospitals, alternate
care sites and long-term health care providers to manage price and product mix.
SupplyNET provides tools to the Company's institutional customers for contract
compliance and utilization management.

In the United States, the Company does business under the McKesson Drug
Company and McKesson Health Systems trade-names. In Canada, the Company does
business under the name Medis Health and Pharmaceutical Services Inc.

Pharmaceutical Services Group -- McKesson's Pharmaceutical Services Group
is comprised of Healthcare Delivery Systems, Inc. ("HDS") and McKesson
Bioservices Corporation ("Bioservices"). HDS

2


provides services designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical and other
healthcare manufacturers in commercializing a product and enhancing its market
position. The core activity currently is the development of integrated systems
for specialized delivery of biotech and other high-cost pharmaceutical
therapies. These systems manage manufacturer cost and information requirements
through a variety of services including financial assistance programs for
patients, reimbursement support and patient advocacy programs and product hot-
line, physician and patient information programs. These services are also
provided to manufacturers on a stand alone basis outside of integrated service
systems. Bioservices provides support services to commercial, non-profit and
governmental organizations engaged in drug development and biomedical research
including biological repository management, clinical trials support and
regulatory process management services.

Other -- Through its Sunmark operations, the Company supplies durable
medical equipment to the home health care industry. Through Zee Medical, Inc.,
the Company distributes first-aid products and supplies to industrial and
commercial customers. Through Automated Healthcare Inc., acquired in April
1996, the Company provides automated pharmaceutical dispensing equipment for use
by health care institutions.

Competition


In every area of operations, the distribution businesses (excluding the
Pharmaceutical Services Group) face strong competition both in price and service
from national, regional and local full-line, short-line and specialty
wholesalers, service merchandisers, and from manufacturers engaged in direct
distribution. The particular areas in which the Pharmaceutical Services Group
provides services are in a rapid state of development and therefore there are no
clearly defined markets in which the Pharmaceutical Services Group competes. It
nonetheless faces competition from various other service providers and from
pharmaceutical and other healthcare manufacturers (as well as other potential
customers of the Pharmaceutical Services Group) which may from time to time
decide to develop, for their own internal needs, those services which are
provided by the Pharmaceutical Services Group and other competing service
providers. Price, quality of service, and, in some cases, convenience to the
customer are generally the principal competitive elements in the Health Care
Services segment.

Intellectual Property

The principal trademarks and service marks of the Health Care Services
segment are: ECONOMOST(R), ECONOLINK(R), VALU-RITE(R), BidLink, SupplyNET,
CareMax, OmniLink and RxOBOT(TM). The Health Care Services segment also owns
other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks and similar
rights. All of the principal marks are registered in the United States and
registration has been obtained or applied for in Canada with respect to such
marks. The United States federal registrations of these trademarks and service
marks have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of registration; the
Canadian registrations have fifteen year terms. All are subject to unlimited
renewals. The Company believes this business has taken all necessary steps to
preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks,
although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce
or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third-
party infringement. The Company does not consider any particular patents,
licenses, franchises or concessions to be material to the business of the Health
Care Services segment.

3


Service Merchandising

Products & Markets

Millbrook Distribution Services Inc. ("Millbrook") -- Millbrook distributes
health and beauty care products, general merchandise and specialty foods to
supermarkets, convenience stores, discount department stores and drugstores.
The primary market area for product distribution is the U.S., east of the
Rockies. In addition to the core procurement and distribution businesses,
Millbrook provides services such as product recommendations, planogramming,
retail shelf management and temporary field labor.

Competition

In all areas of operation, Millbrook faces strong competition both as to
price and service from national and regional grocery wholesalers, regional
specialty distributors, service merchandisers and self-warehousing by retailers
and buying organizations. Economies of scale, as well as price, product
variety, value-add services and marketing and technological support are
generally the principal competitive elements.

Intellectual Property

The principal trademarks and service marks of the Service Merchandising
segment are: VALU-STAR(R), BRIGHT IDEAS(R), and CARRIAGE TRADE(R). Millbrook
also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service marks and
similar rights. All of the principal marks are registered in the United States.
The United States federal registrations of these trademarks and service marks
have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of registration; and are
subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes this business has taken all
necessary steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and
service marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to
successfully enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are
subject to third-party infringement. The Company does not consider any
particular patents, licenses, franchises or concessions to be material to the
business of the Service Merchandising segment.


Water Products

Products & Markets

McKesson Water Products Company is primarily engaged in the processing and
sale of bottled drinking water delivered to homes and businesses under its
Sparkletts, Alhambra, and Crystal brands in California, Arizona, Nevada and
Texas. It also sells and leases bottled water dispensers and coolers in the
foregoing states, and sells packaged water through retail stores in
approximately 40 states. In addition, under the Aqua-Vend trademark, it sells
processed water through vending machines in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas,
Louisiana and Florida. Due to the nature of this business, it does not
generally (a) require significant amounts of inventory to meet the needs of its
customers or to meet its own internal supply requirements, (b) provide
significant extended payment terms to its customers or (c) otherwise have
significant working capital requirements.

Competition

Water Products faces significant competition in both price and service in
all aspects of its business from several large local and regional competitors.

4


Intellectual Property

The principal trademarks and service marks of the Water Products segment
are: SPARKLETTS(R), ALHAMBRA(R), CRYSTAL(TM), CRYSTAL-FRESH(R) and AQUA-
VEND(R). McKesson Water Products Company also owns other registered and
unregistered trademarks and service marks used by the Water Products segment.
All of the principal trademarks and service marks are registered in the United
States, in addition to certain other jurisdictions. The United States federal
registrations of these trademarks have terms of ten or twenty years, depending
on date of registration, and are subject to unlimited renewals. The Company
believes this business has taken all necessary steps to preserve the
registration and duration of its trademarks and service marks, although no
assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully enforce or protect
its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to third-party
infringement. The Company does not consider any particular patents, licenses,
franchises or concessions to be material to the business of the Water Products
segment.

Armor All

Products & Markets

The Company is engaged through its majority-owned Armor All Products
Corporation subsidiary ("Armor All") in developing and marketing a line of
branded appearance enhancement and protection products primarily for the do-it-
yourself automotive and home care markets. Its principal brand, Armor All(R),
has the leading position in the domestic automotive protectant market. A second
major brand, Rain Dance(R), is a strong competitor in the market for automotive
waxes, polishes and washes. Armor All's principal product, Armor All(R)
Protectant, is designed to protect and beautify natural and synthetic polymer
materials and is used primarily on certain automobile surfaces. Armor All's
products are marketed in the U.S. and Canada by its direct sales force and
through independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors.
International sales are effected through foreign sales offices, foreign
distributors and a marketing and distribution alliance with S.C. Johnson.
Primary customers include mass merchandise retailers, auto supply stores,
warehouse clubs, hardware stores and other retail outlets. Armor All in recent
years has extended its product lines by introducing Armor All(R) Tire Foam(R)
Protectant, Armor All(R) QuickSilver(TM) Wheel Cleaner, Armor All(R) Protectant
Low-Gloss Natural Finish, Armor All(R) Spot & Wash(TM) Concentrate, Armor
All(R) Leather Care Protectant, Armor All(R) Armor Plate(R) Paint Protectant
and Armor All(R) FlashBlack(TM) Tire Shine. In January 1994, Armor All entered
the home care market with the acquisition of the E-Z Deck Wash(R) and E-Z D(TM)
brands. The E-Z Deck Wash product is designed to clean and restore wood
surfaces such as patio decks, siding and fences. Subsequent to the acquisition,
Armor All expanded its home care line by introducing several products under the
Armor All brand name: Deck Protector, WaterProofing Sealer, Vinyl Siding Wash,
Painted Wood Wash and three Pressure Washing Formulas. Products which comprise
a majority of Armor All's sales volume are manufactured under full service
packaging agreements whereby contract packagers generally own the raw materials
and finished goods in their possession and transfer title to Armor All just
prior to shipment to Armor All's customers. Armor All's use of contract
packagers permits it to avoid significant investments in inventory, machinery
and other fixed assets. Armor All's relationships with its three most important
packagers have lasted for 8, 11 and 23 years, respectively. Subject to
contractual arrangements, Armor All periodically reevaluates its selection of
packagers, and believes that other acceptable packagers are readily available.

Competition

In the domestic protectant market, Armor All Protectant has two principal
competitors, STP(R) Son-of-a-Gun(R) Protectant and Turtle Wax(R) Formula
2001(R). Armor All(R) Tire Foam(TM) Protectant has four principal competitors
and Armor All(R) QuickSilver(TM) Wheel Cleaner has three principal competitors.
Armor All brand cleaner competes against many specialty automotive cleaner
products. Armor All brand wash

5


products and all of the Rain Dance and Rally brand products compete with
numerous wash, wax and polish products in the automotive aftermarket. The No.7
brand products compete with many wash and specialty cleaning products.
Competition in international markets varies by country.

In the domestic home care products market, the E-Z Deck Wash brand product
has two principal competitors, Thompson's(R) Deck Wash and Olympic(R) Deck
Cleaner, and several secondary competitors. Armor All Deck Protector and
Armor All WaterProofing Sealer each compete against products marketed under the
Thompson's, Olympic and Behr brand names. Armor All Vinyl Siding Wash and Armor
All Painted Wood Wash compete against multi-surface products marketed under the
Thompson's and Olympic brand names. The Armor All Power Washing Formulas compete
against products marketed by the manufacturers of power washer machines; Coleman
and Karcher are the principal brand names.


Intellectual Property

The principal trademarks and service marks of the Armor All segment are:
ARMOR ALL(R), VIKING DESIGN(R) and related designs, RAIN DANCE(R), RALLY(R), NO.
7(R), TIRE FOAM(R), QUICKSILVER(TM), SPOT & WASH(R), ARMOR PLATE(R),
FLASHBLACK(R), EXPRESS WASH(TM), WAX PAX(TM), E-Z DECK WASH(R) and E-Z D(TM).
Armor All also owns other registered and unregistered trademarks and service
marks. All of the principal trademarks and service marks are registered in the
United States and Canada. Such marks are also registered in certain other
foreign jurisdictions. The United States federal registrations of these
trademarks and service marks have ten or twenty year terms, depending on date of
registration; the Canadian registrations have fifteen year terms. All are
subject to unlimited renewals. The Company believes it has taken all necessary
steps to preserve the registration and duration of its trademarks and service
marks, although no assurance can be given that it will be able to successfully
enforce or protect its rights thereunder in the event that they are subject to
third-party infringement.

Armor All owns a patent on ARMOR ALL Armor Plate Paint Protectant, RAIN
DANCE wax, and Armor All Spot & Wash concentrate, and has applied for patents on
ARMOR ALL QuickSilver Wheel Cleaner and ARMOR ALL Vinyl Siding Wash. In
addition, Armor All owns a patent on an E-Z DECK WASH product and has other
domestic and foreign E-Z DECK WASH patents pending. Armor All has the exclusive
right to use a supplier's patented formula to produce ARMOR ALL Deck Protector.
The Company believes that Armor All's trademarks are more important assets than
its patents, and that the termination or invalidity of its patents would not
have a material adverse effect on Armor All.

Ownership

At March 31, 1996, the Company owned 55% of the outstanding common shares
of Armor All. In fiscal 1994, the Company sold $180 million of subordinated
debentures that are exchangeable, at the option of the holders, into 6.9 million
additional shares of Armor All common stock owned by the Company, subject to the
Company's right to pay cash equal to the market price of the stock in lieu of
making the exchange. If all of the debentures were exchanged, the Company's'
ownership interest in Armor All would be reduced to approximately 22%. In such
event, the Company may not be able to exercise continued control over the
business operations of Armor All and may not be able to obtain the financial
benefits it would otherwise have received if it had maintained its controlling
interest in Armor All.


(2) Other Information About the Business

Customers -- Sales to the Company's largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc., accounted for 11% of consolidated revenues in fiscal 1996 and 10% in
fiscal 1995; however, no material part of the business is dependent upon a
single or a very few customers, the loss of any one of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company or any of its business segments.


6


Environmental Legislation -- The Company sold its chemical distribution
operations in fiscal 1987. In connection with the disposition of those
operations, the Company retained responsibility for certain environmental
obligations and has entered into agreements with the EPA and certain states
pursuant to which it is or may be required to conduct environmental assessments
and cleanups at several closed sites. These matters are described further in
Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" below. Other than any capital expenditures which may
be required in connection with those matters, the Company does not anticipate
making substantial capital expenditures for environmental control facilities or
to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. The amount of
capital expenditures expended by the Company for environmental compliance was
not material in fiscal 1996 and is not expected to be material in the next
fiscal year.

Employees -- At March 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 11,300
persons.

Backlog Orders -- Each of the Company's segments seeks to promptly fill or
otherwise satisfy the orders of each such segment's customers. Accordingly,
none of the Company's segments has a significant backlog of customer orders.


(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
Sales

Information as to foreign operations is included in Financial Note 15,
"Segments of Business" on pages 37 and 38 of the Appendix to the Company's 1996
Proxy Statement (the "Appendix"), which notes are incorporated herein by
reference.



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Because of the nature of the Company's principal businesses, plant,
warehousing, office and other facilities are operated in widely dispersed
locations. The warehouses are typically owned or leased on a long-term basis.
The Company considers its operating properties to be in satisfactory condition
and adequate to meet its needs for the next several years. Information as to
material lease commitments is included in Financial Note 10, "Lease Obligations"
on pages 29 and 30 of the Appendix, which note is incorporated herein by
reference. Due to the numerous warehousing, office and other facilities
utilized by the Company in its business operations, the Company does not believe
that any one of its facilities is materially important to the Company.



ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of
business, the Company is subject to various claims, other pending and possible
legal actions for product liability and other damages, investigations relating
to governmental laws and regulations, and other matters arising out of the
normal conduct of the Company's business.

The Company currently is a defendant in six civil actions filed since late
1993 by retail pharmacies. The first proceeding, Feitelberg v. Abbott
Laboratories, is pending in the Superior Court for the State of California
(County of San Francisco) and is now referred to as Coordinated Proceeding
Special Title, Pharmaceutical Cases I, II and III. The second proceeding, HJB,
Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories (now known as MDL 997), is pending in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The third
proceeding, K-S Pharmacies, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, is pending in the
Circuit Court of Wisconsin for Dane County. A fourth action, Adams v. Abbott
Laboratories, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Arkansas. A fifth action, Salk Drug Co. v. Abbott Laboratories, was filed in

7


the District Court of Minnesota, Fourth Judicial District. Finally, an action
was filed this past year in California Superior Court for San Francisco County,
Horton v. Abbott Laboratories, et. al.. These actions were brought as purported
class actions on behalf of all other similarly-situated retail pharmacies. A
class has been certified in Feitelberg and in MDL 997. There are numerous other
defendants in these actions including pharmaceutical manufacturers, a
pharmaceutical mail order firm, and several other wholesale distributors. These
cases allege, in essence, that the defendants have unlawfully conspired together
and agreed to fix the prices of brand name pharmaceuticals sold to plaintiffs at
artificially high, discriminatory, and non-competitive levels, all in violation
of various state and federal antitrust laws. Some of the plaintiffs specifically
contend that the wholesaler and manufacturer defendants are engaged in a
conspiracy to fix prices charged to plaintiffs and members of the purported
classes (independent and chain retail drug stores) above the price levels
charged to mail order pharmacies, HMOs and other institutional buyers. The
California cases allege, among other things, violation of California antitrust
law. In MDL 997, plaintiffs allege that defendants' actions constitute price
fixing in violation of the Sherman Act. In the K-S Pharmacies, Inc. and Salk
Drug complaints, plaintiffs allege violation of Wisconsin and Minnesota
antitrust laws, respectively. In each of the complaints, except Adams,
plaintiffs seek certification as a class and remedies in the form of injunctive
relief, unquantified monetary damages (trebled as provided by law), and
attorneys fees and costs. In addition, the California cases seek restitution. In
MDL 997, the court recently granted the motion for summary judgment filed by the
Company and other wholesaler defendants. In K-S Pharmacies, the court dismissed
the Company and other wholesaler defendants without prejudice and is considering
whether the dismissal will be with prejudice. The Company believes it has
meritorious defenses to the allegations made against it and intends to
vigorously defend itself in the remaining cases. In addition, the Company has
entered into a judgment sharing agreement with certain pharmaceutical
manufacturer defendants, which provides generally that the Company (together
with the other wholesale distributor defendants) will be held harmless by such
pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants and will be indemnified against the costs
of adverse judgments, if any, against the wholesaler and manufacturers in these
or similar actions, in excess of $1 million in the aggregate per wholesale
distributor defendant.

Primarily as a result of the operation of its former chemical businesses,
which were divested in fiscal 1987, the Company is involved in various matters
pursuant to environmental laws and regulations:

The Company has received claims and demands from governmental agencies relating
to investigative and remedial actions purportedly required to address
environmental conditions alleged to exist at five sites where the Company (or
entities acquired by the Company) formerly conducted operations; and the
Company, by administrative order or otherwise, has agreed to take certain
actions at those sites, including soil and groundwater remediation.

The current estimate (determined by the Company's environmental staff, in
consultation with outside environmental specialists and counsel) of the upper
limit of the Company's range of reasonably possible remediation costs for these
five sites is approximately $24 million, net of amounts which third parties have
agreed to pay in settlement or which the Company expects, based either on
agreements or nonrefundable contributions which are ongoing, to be contributed
by third parties. The $24 million is expected to be paid out between April 1996
and March 2028 and is included in the Company's recorded environmental reserves
at March 31, 1996.

In addition, the Company has been been designated as a potentially
responsible party ("PRP") by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended (the "Superfund" law), for environmental assessment and cleanup costs as
the result of the Company's alleged disposal of hazardous substances at 27
Superfund sites. With respect to each of these Superfund sites, numerous other
PRPs have similarly been designated and, while the current state of the law
potentially imposes joint and several liability upon PRPs, as a practical matter
costs of these sites are typically shared with other PRPs. The Company's
estimated liability at these 27 Superfund sites is approximately $3 million, net
of amounts which third parties are expected or have agreed to contribute where
the Company believes it is probable that the third parties will fulfill their
agreements to pay. Settlements and costs paid by the Company in Superfund

8


matters to date have not been significant. The $3 million is included in the
Company's recorded environmental reserves at March 31, 1996, along with an
additional $1 million for miscellaneous other matters.

The potential costs to the Company related to environmental matters is
uncertain due to such factors as: the unknown magnitude of possible pollution
and cleanup costs; the complexity and evolving nature of governmental laws and
regulations and their interpretations; the timing, varying costs and
effectiveness of alternative cleanup technologies; the determination of the
Company's liability in proportion to other PRPs; and the extent, if any, to
which such costs are recoverable from insurance or other parties.

Management believes, based on current knowledge and the advise of the
Company's counsel, that the outcome of the litigation and governmental
proceeding discussed in this Item 3 will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company.



ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the three months ended March 31,
1996.
