                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Administrative Committee of the 401K Profit Sharing Plan
CVS Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the 401K Profit Sharing Plan of CVS Corporation (the Plan) as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. 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.

                   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.

                   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.

                          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.

                           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.

(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.

                           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:

 (5)   Plan Termination

       Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, CVS has the right
       under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. 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.
