These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG LLP June 14, 2002 2 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits December 31, 2001 and 2000 2001 2000 ----------------- ---------------- Assets: Investments: Guaranteed Insurance Contracts $ 205,877,671 176,656,187 Equities 312,270,274 433,440,391 Investments in pooled funds 461,178,542 425,859,590 Loans to participants 36,764,062 33,888,185 ----------------- ---------------- 1,016,090,549 1,069,844,353 ----------------- ---------------- Receivables: Interest 1,421,152 1,402,444 Dividends 1,177,884 1,891,770 Employer contributions 1,814,905 2,339,014 Employee contributions 6,260,270 8,016,077 ----------------- ---------------- 10,674,211 13,649,305 ----------------- ---------------- Total assets 1,026,764,760 1,083,493,658 ----------------- ---------------- Liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities 4,945,217 5,963,379 ----------------- ---------------- Net assets available for plan benefits $ 1,021,819,543 1,077,530,279 ================= ================ See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits Years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 2001 2000 ------------------ ------------------ Additions: Interest income $ 13,843,248 14,590,526 Dividend income 12,410,444 9,907,883 Employer contributions 27,511,936 22,800,468 Employee contributions 107,101,765 101,689,666 Realized gains (losses) (21,767,039) 42,145,527 Unrealized gains (losses) (124,142,192) (15,139,872) Net forfeitures 229,418 97,536 ------------------ ------------------ Total additions 15,187,580 176,091,734 ------------------ ------------------ Deductions: Benefits paid to participants 64,180,924 76,796,270 Administrative expenses 6,044,456 6,356,219 Other deductions 672,936 1,005,362 ------------------ ------------------ Total deductions 70,898,316 84,157,851 ------------------ ------------------ Net increase (decrease) for the year (55,710,736) 91,933,883 Net assets beginning of the year 1,077,530,279 985,596,396 ------------------ ------------------ Net assets end of the year $ 1,021,819,543 1,077,530,279 ================== ================== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 (1) Plan Description The following description of the 401K Profit Sharing Plan of CVS Corporation (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. (a) Background The Plan is a defined contribution plan established as of January 1, 1989. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended. The general administration of the Plan and the responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the Plan are maintained by a committee (the Plan Committee) of not less than three persons appointed by the board of directors (the board of directors) of CVS Corporation (CVS). In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Plan Committee has appointed an Administrator, Buck Consultants (the Administrator), and a Trustee, Bank of New York (the Trustee). The Administrator maintains participant account records and instructs the Trustee to execute transactions such as benefit payments to participants. The Trustee holds the assets of the Plan and executes transactions at the direction of the Plan Committee and the Administrator. The Trustee also reports to the Plan's management regarding investments and changes in those investments. (b) Eligibility Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan upon attainment of age 21 and on the earliest of: . The first payroll period of the first month after completion of 90 continuous days of service as a full-time employee, or . Completion of 12 months of service beginning on the employee's enrollment date with at least 1,000 hours worked, or . Completion of at least 1,000 hours of service in the course of one calendar year. (c) Contributions Effective January 1, 1990, participants may elect to have CVS contribute to their accounts from 1% to 15% of the compensation that would otherwise be due them, in multiples of 1%, pursuant to a salary reduction agreement. Each participant's total elective deferrals for any calendar year may not exceed 15% of annual compensation or the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), whichever is less, as specified in the Plan document. The maximum elective deferrals allowed by the Code were $10,500 for 2001 and $10,500 for 2000. 5 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 Effective January 1, 1990, CVS made additional matching contributions to participants' accounts. The amount of such contributions was determined as follows: (1) for a participant who had completed at least three years of credited service, CVS' matching contribution was 50% of the participant's elective deferrals, limited to elective deferrals of up to 4% of the participant's salary, or (2) for a participant who had completed less than three years of credited service, CVS' contribution was 25% of the participant's elective deferrals, limited to elective deferrals of up to 4% of the participant's salary. Effective April 1, 2000, the Plan has amended the matching contribution to 50% of the first 5% of pre-tax compensation contributed. The match is paid in cash to the Plan account on a monthly basis. (d) Investment Options Upon enrollment in the Plan or at select intervals thereafter, a participant may elect to direct contributions or investment balances within the investments listed below. The following is a brief explanation of each fund's investment objectives: Core Equity Fund (Vanguard Index 500 Portfolio Fund) This fund's objective is to replicate the total return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index, which represents about 75% of the U.S. stock market value. Diversified Bond (PIMCO Total Return Admin Fund) This fund is a core bond fund that seeks to outperform the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index on a consistent basis while maintaining an overall risk similar to the Index. International Equity Fund (Templeton International Fund) This fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth through participation in stock markets outside the U.S. The fund invests primarily in the common stock of companies based in more developed countries, but may also include investments in developing countries. Small Cap Growth Fund (Invesco Small Company Growth Fund) This fund seeks long-term growth of capital and dividend income through participation in the stock market. The fund invests primarily in stocks of relatively small companies. 6 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 Global Equity (Janus Worldwide Fund) This fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of foreign and domestic companies. The fund tries to outperform the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index, which measures the performance of U.S. and international stock markets. Small Cap Value (Galaxy Small Cap Value Fund) This fund seeks long-term growth by investing primarily in stocks of small to medium-sized companies that are believed to either offer superior earnings growth or appear to be undervalued. This fund is benchmarked by the Russell 2000 Index. Growth and Income Fund (J & W Seligman Large Cap Value Fund) This fund seeks long-term capital growth and dividend income by investing primarily in the common stock of U.S. based, well established medium to large size companies. Large Cap Growth Fund (Columbus Circle Core Equity Fund) This investment objective is long-term capital growth. The fund invests primarily in the common stock of established large companies that are based in the U.S. Companies are typically in industry sectors that are growing faster than the broad stock market. Lifestyle Conservative Fund (various managers) This fund is for people who will need access to their money in less than five years. Approximately 70% of the fund is invested in fixed-income or low-risk investments. The remaining 30% is invested in stock-oriented mutual funds or moderate-risk investments. Lifestyle Moderate Fund (various managers) This fund is for less conservative investors who can keep their money invested for at least five years. Because stocks make up approximately 60% of the fund's mix, the fund has more exposure to the fluctuations in the stock market than the Conservative fund. The remaining 40% is invested in bonds. Lifestyle Aggressive Fund (various managers) This fund is for those individuals who can keep their money invested for at least ten years or those who are willing to accept a greater level of risk in return for greater possible reward. Therefore, 80% of the fund is invested in stocks and the remaining 20% is invested in fixed-income securities. 7 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 CVS Corporation Common Stock Fund This fund was established as a result of the transfer of assets from the Revco D.S., Inc. 401K Plan during 1997. The Plan may, at the discretion of the Plan Committee, offer a company stock fund as one of the available investment funds for employee and employer contributions. The fund holds CVS common stock. GIC Fund (managed by State Street Bank & Trust Co.) This fund seeks to preserve capital, while generating a steady rate of return higher than money market funds. The fund's investments consist of highly-rated insurance company and bank investment contracts. (e) Vesting Participants become fully vested in their accounts upon the completion of five years of credited service. Participants whose account balances have been transferred into the Plan from other defined contribution plans maintain at least the degree of vesting in the account they had at the time of the transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participants are fully vested in, and have a nonforfeitable right to, (1) their accounts upon death or disability, and (2) any elective deferrals described in note l(c). (f) Payment of Benefits Upon termination of service, the Administrator directs the Trustee to pay participants their benefits in an immediate lump-sum or a deferred lump-sum, if certain criteria are met. (g) Forfeitures Upon participants' termination date, the unvested portion of their accounts are forfeited. If a former participant resumes employment and eligibility in the Plan within five years of termination, any amounts previously forfeited are restored to the participant's account, but remain subject to the vesting provisions of the Plan. Forfeitures during any plan year are applied as follows: (1) to restore amounts previously forfeited by participants but required to be reinstated upon resumption of employment; (2) to pay administrative expenses of the Plan; or (3) to reduce future matching and employer contributions. If forfeitures for any year are insufficient to restore the required forfeitures, CVS contributes the balance required for that purpose. Forfeitures for 2001 and 2000 were approximately $2,426,816 and $2,944,956, respectively. Forfeitures restored to participants upon resumption of employment for 2001 and 2000 were approximately $122,141 and $87,327, respectively. 8 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c) Benefits Paid Benefits are recorded when paid. (d) Investments The valuation of the investments held at December 31, 2001 and 2000, is based on the fair value of the underlying funds as determined by the Trustee, except for the investment contracts which are valued at contract value with an insurance company. The value fluctuates in response to various factors including, but not limited to, the price of the shares in the underlying funds, dividends paid, earnings and losses, and the mix of assets in the respective fund. The fair value for the Guaranteed Insurance Contracts at December 31, 2001 is $214,672,747. The average yield for 2001 was 6.36%. (e) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivatives and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Pursuant to SFAS No. 137, the Plan adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The impact of SFAS No. 133 is not material to the Plan financial statements. (3) Loans to Participants Under the terms of the Plan, participants may obtain bona fide loans from the Plan, utilizing funds accumulated in their accounts. The minimum amount which may be borrowed is $1,000. Participants can borrow up to 50% of their vested account balance but not more than $50,000 less their highest outstanding loan balance during the previous twelve months. The loans are repaid to the Plan through after-tax payroll deductions. The term of the loan is selected at the discretion of the participant, but may not exceed five years for a general loan and twenty-five years for a home purchase loan. 9 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2001 and 2000 (4) Investment Policy At December 31, 2001 and 2000, most of the Plan's assets were allocated among the investment options discussed in note 1(d) based on employees' elections. The investment options are administered by independent investment managers. Employee asset allocations that are awaiting processing are temporarily invested in commingled funds held by a bank-administered trust fund. These commingled funds are also used to account for and administer participants' loans. The loan repayments and interest earned are allocated to each of the investment funds based upon the participants' contribution election percentages. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) represents the net difference between the fair value of the investment and its historical cost basis if purchased during the plan year or the change in its fair value during the plan year. During 2001 and 2000, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold, and held during the year) experienced net appreciation (depreciation) as follows: 2001 2000 ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- Realized Unrealized Realized Unrealized ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ ------------------- Mutual Funds $ (21,767,039) (124,142,192) 42,145,527 (15,139,872) The following represents total investments segregated by investment type.

If CVS terminated the Plan, all participants in the Plan would become fully vested. (6) Federal Income Taxes The Plan is qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code, and the trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is exempt from Federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code; accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes. The Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and the Plan's sponsor believes that the Plan, as amended, continues to qualify and operate as designed. 11 401K PROFIT SHARING PLAN OF CVS CORPORATION Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year December 31, 2001 Par value/ Identity number of Of Current Fund shares issue Description Cost value --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------- ------------ -------------- Loans to participants 36,764,062 Loans to participants* Prime plus 1% at loan request date $ -- $ 36,764,062 ------------- Commingled 358,562 Bank of New York* Collective Short-Term Investment Fund Non-Discretionary 358,562 358,562 198 AT&T Corp Com Common Stock -- 3,592 63 AT&T Wireless Svsc Inc.
