Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 2, 2006, CVS acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities from Albertson’s, Inc. (“Albertsons”) for $4.0 billion. The assets acquired and the liabilities assumed included approximately 700 standalone drugstores and a distribution center (collectively the “Standalone Drug Business”). CVS financed the acquisition of the Standalone Drug Business by issuing commercial paper and borrowing $1.0 billion from a bridge loan facility. During the third quarter of 2006, CVS expects to refinance a portion of the commercial paper borrowings with longer term financing. During the fourth quarter of 2006, CVS expects to sell a substantial portion of the acquired real estate through a sale-leaseback transaction, the proceeds of which will be used in retiring the bridge loan facility.

9.01(a) Financial Statements of the Businesses Acquired

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

CVS Corporation

Boise, Idaho

We have audited the accompanying Statements of net assets acquired of Albertson’s, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Albertsons”) standalone drugstore business (an integrated operation within Albertsons) as of February 2, 2006, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement as amended (the “APA Agreement”) between Albertsons and CVS Corporation (“CVS”) and certain other parties thereto as described in Note 1, and the related Statements of revenues and direct expenses for the year ended February 2, 2006 (the “Statements”). These Statements are the responsibility of Albertsons’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Albertsons internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statements were prepared for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of CVS and are not intended to be a complete presentation of Albertsons’ assets and liabilities or of its revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, such Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets acquired of Albertsons’ standalone drugstore business as of February 2, 2006, and the related Statement of revenues and direct expenses for the year ended February 2, 2006, pursuant to the APA Agreement described in Note 1, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND DIRECT EXPENSES AND STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED

(Dollars in millions)

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business Description and Sale of Albertson’s Inc. Standalone Drug Business

On January 22, 2006 Albertson’s, Inc. (“Albertsons”) entered into a series of agreements (the “Agreements”) providing for the sale of Albertsons to Supervalu, Inc. (“Supervalu”), CVS Corporation (“CVS”) and a consortium of investors including Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., Kimco Realty Corporation, Lubert-Adler Management, Inc., Klaff Realty, L.P. and Schottenstein Stores Corporation (the “Cerberus Group”). Pursuant to the agreement Albertsons entered into with CVS, the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (see Note 7 – Subsequent Events) (the “APA Agreement”), CVS acquired from Albertsons approximately 700 standalone drugstores located primarily in California, the Midwest and the Western United States and the real estate interests in these drugstores, and one distribution center located in La Habra, California (collectively, the “Standalone Drug Business” or the “Business”) for a purchase price of $3,930. The term “standalone” refers to the Albertsons freestanding drug stores, and excludes pharmacies located within the Albertsons grocery stores. Also, pursuant to a prescription drug inventory agreement as described in Note 7 – Subsequent Events, CVS paid a net amount of approximately $45 as additional purchase price to increase inventory levels subsequent to the date of the Statement of Net Assets Acquired but prior to the transaction closing (the “Closing”). Additionally, in accordance with the terms of the APA Agreement, CVS paid approximately $35 related to inventories at the distribution center in La Habra, California. In connection with the Closing, CVS received a net amount of $7 for the settlement of prepaid rent, accrued property taxes and accrued utilities. Supervalu and CVS have also agreed to share certain transaction costs related to the Closing, some of which were settled at the Closing and others at a later date.

New Albertson’s, Inc. (“New Albertsons”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Albertsons, was formed to facilitate the series of transactions (the “Transactions”) contemplated under the Agreements. After the Closing, New Albertsons became a wholly owned subsidiary of Supervalu and owns and operates Albertsons’ historical core supermarket business. In connection with the sale of the Standalone Drug Business, New Albertsons has entered into a transition services agreement with CVS to provide technology, accounting and other services to the Standalone Drug Business. The transition services agreement contemplates a six month term and provides for payments by CVS to New Albertsons of $3 in the aggregate. In addition, New Albertsons and CVS have entered into other arrangements to ensure product availability and to facilitate the transition of the acquired assets. These arrangements include leasing certain New Albertsons employees for a short term subsequent to the Closing, logistics services, inventory purchasing and sharing of certain expenses related to the enhancement of distribution processes benefiting CVS and New Albertsons.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Statements of Net Assets Acquired of the Standalone Drug Business as of February 2, 2006 and May 4, 2006 and the related Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2006 and the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2005 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by CVS and are not intended to be a complete presentation of Albertsons’ assets and liabilities nor of its revenues and expenses.

 

7


The Financial Statements have been prepared from the historical accounting records maintained by Albertsons and on the basis of the accounting policies and procedures as described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Historically, the Standalone Drug Business was an integrated operation within Albertsons. The Standalone Drug Business was not a separate legal entity, subsidiary, or division of Albertsons, and was not operated or accounted for by Albertsons as a separate business or operating segment. Accordingly, separate accounts specific to the Business were not maintained and corporate expenses and certain accounting estimates were not allocated to the Business and are not otherwise available without significant time and cost burdens. Therefore, the Financial Statements are not intended to be a complete representation of the financial position or results of operations of the Standalone Drug Business for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2006 and the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2005, nor are they indicative of the results to be expected from future operations of the Standalone Drug Business. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Albertsons filed with the SEC.

The accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses reflect revenues and related cost of revenues specifically identified to the standalone drug stores acquired by CVS, and direct selling, general and administrative expenses related to the Business. Selling, general and administrative expenses include labor, employee benefits, depreciation and amortization, rent, utilities, advertising, other expenses, and allocations of certain overhead expenses specifically identifiable to the Business (primarily division administrative support costs). The Statements of Revenue and Direct Expenses exclude costs that are not directly related to the Business, including corporate overhead expense allocations, interest income and expense, and income taxes.

The accompanying Statements of Net Assets Acquired reflect the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by CVS pursuant to the APA Agreement. The assets and liabilities that have been excluded from the Statements of Net Assets Acquired consist primarily of:

 

    Cash and cash equivalents, other than cash of two thousand dollars per operating drugstore acquired

 

    Accounts and notes receivable

 

    Prepaid expenses

 

    Deferred income taxes

 

    Accounts payable and accrued expenses, other than those assumed under assigned contracts

 

    Accrued payroll and accrued payroll taxes

 

    Income taxes payable

 

    Assets and liabilities of employee benefit plans, other than accrued vacation, holiday and sick leave

 

    Commitments other than certain lease obligations

 

    Sales and property taxes payable

 

    Self-insurance liabilities

 

    Unearned income

 

    Deferred compensation liabilities

 

    Loss contingencies, other than environmental reserves

Statements of cash flows and statements of stockholders’ equity are not presented as CVS did not acquire all of the assets nor assume all of the liabilities of Albertsons’ Standalone Drug Business, and the preparation of such financial information is not practical given the nature of the Financial Statements and the limited amount of information available specifically related to the Business.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fiscal Year

The Business’ fiscal year ends on the Thursday nearest to January 31. As a result, the Business’ fiscal year includes a 53rd week every five to six years. The Business’ fiscal year ended February 2, 2006 contained 52 weeks.

Interim Financial Information

The Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses and Statements of Net Assets Acquired and the related notes for the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2006 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses and Statements of Net Assets Acquired and the related notes for the interim periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Some of these estimates require difficult, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Statements of Net Assets Acquired and the reported amounts of revenues and direct expenses during the reporting periods.

Cash

Cash consists of two thousand dollars per operating drugstore acquired by CVS.

Inventories

Inventories are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method had been used, inventories would have been $822 and $814 as of February 2, 2006 and May 4, 2006, respectively.

Vendor Funds

The Business historically recognizes vendor funds for merchandising and buying activities as a reduction of Cost of revenues when the related products are sold in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 02-16, “Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor.” The Business receives vendor funds for a variety of merchandising activities: placement of the vendors’ products in the Business’ advertising; display of the vendors’ products in prominent locations in the Business’ stores; introduction of new products into the Business’ distribution system and retail stores; exclusivity rights in certain categories that have slower-turning products; and to compensate for temporary price reductions offered to customers on products held for sale at retail stores. The amount of vendor funds reducing the Business’ inventory (“inventory offset”) as of February 2, 2006 and May 4, 2006 was $49.

Capitalization, Depreciation and Amortization

Land, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are generally as follows: buildings and improvements-10 to 35 years; leasehold improvements-10 to 25 years; assets held under capitalized leases-20 to 30 years; fixtures and equipment-three to eight years; software-three to five years; and intangibles-three to 10 years (exclusive of beneficial lease rights which are discussed below).

 

9


The costs of major remodeling and improvements on leased stores are capitalized as leasehold improvements and amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the term of the applicable lease or the useful life of the asset. Assets under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the fair market value of the asset or the present value of future minimum lease payments and amortized on the straight-line method over the lease term.

Beneficial lease rights and lease liabilities are recorded on purchased leases based on differences between contractual rents under the respective lease agreements and prevailing market rents at the lease acquisition dates. Beneficial lease rights are amortized on a straight-line basis over the greater of the lease term or 15 years.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable consist of liabilities assumed associated with certain assigned contracts.

Environmental Reserves

The Business records reserves for loss contingencies, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” when the information available indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Predicting the outcomes and estimating related costs and exposures involve substantial uncertainties that could cause actual costs to vary materially from estimates. Historical loss contingencies assumed by CVS relate entirely to environmental liabilities specifically identifiable to the standalone drug stores acquired by CVS.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts received by customers using their preferred loyalty cards are recorded by the Business as a reduction of sales.

Procurement, Distribution and Merchandising Costs

Cost of revenues include, among other things, purchasing, inbound freight costs, product quality testing costs, warehousing costs, transfer costs from distribution centers to stores, advertising, private label program and strategic sourcing program costs.

Store Opening Costs

Noncapital expenditures incurred in opening new stores or remodeling existing stores are expensed in the periods in which they are incurred.

Self-Insurance

The Business is primarily self-insured for property loss, workers’ compensation, automobile liability costs and general liability costs. Self-insurance costs are included in the accompanying Statements of Direct Revenues and Expenses, however, as CVS did not assume historical self-insurance liabilities, these liabilities are not reflected in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Acquired.

Deferred Rent

The Business recognizes rent holidays, including the period of time the Business has access prior to taking possession of the property, which typically includes construction and fixturing activity, and rent escalations on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

10


Pension Costs

Pension benefit obligations and the related effects on operations are dependent on management’s selection of actuarial assumptions, including the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Actual results that differ from the Business’ assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect the Business’ recognized expense and recorded obligation in future periods. The Business also participates in various multi-employer plans for substantially all union employees. Pension expense for these plans is recognized as contributions are funded.

Pension costs are included in the accompanying Statements of Direct Revenues and Expenses, however, as CVS did not assume historical Pension plan liabilities, these liabilities are not reflected in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Acquired.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Gross advertising expenses of $87, $20 and $22, net of cooperative advertising money received from vendors, were included in Cost of revenues in the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2006 and the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2005, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Business regularly reviews its stores and other long-lived assets and asset groups for indicators of impairment based on operational performance and the Business’ plans for store closures. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable, the asset’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. Impairment losses are recognized as the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their fair values. Asset fair values are determined by internal real estate specialists or by independent valuation experts. These estimates can be significantly impacted by factors such as changes in real estate market conditions, the economic environment and inflation. The Business recognized impairment charges related to assets sold to CVS of $1 for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2006. This charge was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses. There were no impairment charges recorded for the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 3 – NEW AND RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options. Under the new standard, companies will no longer be able to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB Opinion No. 25”). Instead, companies are required to account for such transactions using a fair-value method and recognize the expense in their consolidated earnings statements. SFAS No. 123(R) and related FASB Staff Positions became effective for Albertsons on February 3, 2006.

Prior to February 3, 2006, Albertsons applied the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock option and stock unit awards (“share-based awards”) made under its stock-based incentive plans. Stock options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, and accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized. The fair value of stock units granted under these plans was determined based on the closing market price of the Albertsons’ common stock on the grant date and this amount was recognized as compensation expense over the respective vesting periods of the awards.

 

11


Effective February 3, 2006, Albertsons adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and related FASB Staff Positions using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense is recognized for: 1) all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of February 3, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and 2) all share-based awards granted on or after February 3, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). For share-based awards granted prior to February 3, 2006, compensation expense was recognized using the accelerated amortization method. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), Albertsons elected to begin recognizing compensation expense using the straight-line amortization method for share-based awards granted on or after February 3, 2006. In accordance with the modified-prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated and all of Albertsons’ stock-based incentive plans are considered equity plans under SFAS No. 123(R). The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

Compensation expense recognized in the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses for the option holders that became employees of CVS was less than $1 for the 52 weeks ended February 2, 2006 and the 13-week periods ended May 4, 2006 and May 5, 2005. These expenses were primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. With the exception of certain stock units granted in January 2006, all outstanding share-based awards fully vest on a “Change in Control” (as defined in the associated award agreement and plan) of Albertsons. Upon the Closing on June 2, 2006 (see Note 7 – Subsequent Events), the share-based awards fully vested and, in accordance with the APA Agreement, converted to liability (cash) awards for the option holders who became employees of CVS. The compensation cost for the accelerated vesting of all nonvested awards related to the option holders who became employees of CVS was recognized by Albertsons upon the Closing and are not included in the accompanying Statements of Revenues and Direct Expenses.

In May 2004 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FSP FAS 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“FSP FAS 106-2”). FSP FAS 106-2 supersedes FSP FAS 106-1, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,” and provides guidance on the accounting and disclosure related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”), which was signed into law in December 2003. The Medicare Act and adoption of FSP FAS 106-2 in the Business’ third quarter of fiscal 2005 did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

In November 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS No. 151”). SFAS No. 151 clarifies that inventory costs that are “abnormal” are required to be charged to expense as incurred as opposed to being capitalized into inventory as a product cost. SFAS No. 151 provides examples of “abnormal” costs to include costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 became effective for the Business on February 3, 2006 and did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

In May 2005 the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle, unless impracticable or unless a pronouncement includes alternative transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This statement carries forward the guidance in APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” for the reporting of a correction of an error and a change in accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 became effective for the Business on February 3, 2006 and did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

 

12


In June 2005 the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 05-6, “Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination” (“EITF 05-6”). EITF 05-6 requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewal periods that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF 05-6 also requires that leasehold improvements that are placed in service significantly after and not contemplated at or near the beginning of the lease term be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewal periods that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date the leasehold improvements are purchased. The Business’ historical accounting policies comply with these provisions and, accordingly, the adoption of EITF 05-6 in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

In October 2005 the FASB issued FSP FAS 13-1, “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred During a Construction Period” (“FSP FAS 13-1”). FSP FAS 13-1 requires rental costs associated with building or ground leases incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental expense. The Business historically capitalized rental costs incurred during a construction period. In accordance with the transition provisions of FSP FAS 13-1, the Business elected to early adopt and prospectively apply the requirement to expense rental costs incurred during a construction period in the Business’ fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. The adoption of FSP FAS 13-1 did not have a material effect on the Business’ Financial Statements.

Unaudited pro forma combined earnings per common share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Pro forma combined basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing: (i) pro forma combined net earnings, after deducting the after-tax dividends on the ESOP preference stock, by (ii) the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the period presented (the “Basic Shares”).

When computing pro forma combined diluted earnings per common share, CVS assumes that the ESOP preference stock is converted into common stock and all dilutive stock options are exercised. After the assumed ESOP preference stock conversion, the ESOP Trust would hold common stock rather than ESOP preference stock and would receive common stock dividends ($0.155 and $0.145 annually per share in 2006 and 2005, respectively) rather than ESOP preference stock dividends (currently $3.90 annually per share). Since the ESOP Trust uses the dividends it receives to service its debt, CVS would have to increase its contribution to the ESOP Trust to compensate it for the lower dividends. This additional contribution would reduce CVS’ net earnings, which in turn, would reduce the amounts that would have to be accrued under CVS’ incentive compensation plans. Pro forma combined diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing: (i) pro forma combined net earnings, after accounting for the difference between the dividends on the ESOP preference stock and common stock and after making adjustments for the incentive compensation plans by (ii) Basic Shares plus the additional shares that would be issued assuming that all dilutive stock awards are exercised and the ESOP preference stock is converted into common stock.
