PART I

Item 1. Business

(a) General development of business.

Walgreen Co. (The "company" or "Walgreens") was incorporated as an Illinois corporation in 1909 as a successor to a business founded in 1901. Walgreens is the nation's largest drugstore chain (based on sales) recorded its 31^st year of consecutive sales and earnings growth. Included in these results was the effect of Hurricane Katrina, which forced the closing of 74 stores in the Gulf Coast states. During the year, the company opened 435 stores for a net increase of 371 new stores after closings and relocations. The total number of stores at August 31, 2005 was 4,950 (includes stores closed as of August 31, 2005, due to Hurricane Katrina) located in 45 states and Puerto Rico. In addition, the company operates 3 mail service facilities. Aggressive growth will continue as the company anticipates operating more than 7,000 stores by 2010.

To support store expansion, the company opened four distribution centers in the past four years, the most recent in Moreno Valley, California in fiscal 2004. These centers are twenty percent more productive than our older distribution centers. In July 2004, Walgreens broke ground on the first of a new-generation distribution center in South Carolina. Scheduled to open in 2007, this center is expected to provide another twenty percent productivity improvement.

Prescription sales continue to become a larger portion of the company's business. This year prescriptions accounted for 63.7% of sales compared to 63.2% last year. Third party sales, where reimbursement is received from managed care organizations as well as government and private insurance, were 92.7% of prescription sales compared to 91.7% a year ago. Overall, Walgreens filled 490 million prescriptions in 2005, an increase of 10.6% from the previous year and more than any other pharmacy retailer.

Pharmacy sales trends are expected to continue to grow due, in part, to the aging population and new drug development. The company also expects to capture additional sales when the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit rolls out in calendar 2006.

In November 2003, Walgreens pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) introduced Advantage90, a 90-day retail prescription option to mandatory mail programs. Since its introduction, 180 managed care plans are offering Advantage90 to a total of 1,487,890 members.

Photofinishing continued to contribute to gross margins for general merchandise in 2005, as the company expands its digital photo offerings. It is expected that the new online digital photo service, which will be introduced in fiscal 2006, will increase sales.

During fiscal 2005, Walgreens' market share in 54 of the top 60 front-end categories increased, as compared to all food, drug and mass merchandise competitors. Today, 125 million people live within two miles of a Walgreens and 4.4 million shoppers walk into a Walgreens store daily. The company plans to increase business by investing in prime locations, technology and customer service initiatives in 2006.

During fiscal year 2005 the company added $1.233 billion to property and equipment, which included approximately $1.017 billion related to stores, $103.0 million for distribution centers, and $113.0 million related to other corporate items. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 are expected to be approximately $1.4 billion.

(b) Financial information about industry segments.

The company's primary business is the operation of retail drugstores.

(i) Principal products produced and services rendered.

The drugstores are engaged in the retail sale of prescription and nonprescription drugs and general merchandise. General merchandise includes, among other things, cosmetics, toiletries, household items, food, beverages and photofinishing. Customers can have prescriptions filled at the drugstore counter as well as through the mail, by telephone, and on the Internet.

The estimated contributions of various product classes to sales for each of the last three fiscal years are as follows:

Product Class	Percentage
	2005	2004	2003
Prescription Drugs	64	63	62
Nonprescription Drugs	11	12	12
General Merchandise	25	25	26
Total Sales	100	100	100

(ii) Status of a product or segment.

Not applicable.

(iii) Sources and availability of raw materials.

Inventories are purchased from numerous domestic and foreign suppliers. The loss of any one supplier or group of suppliers under common control would not have a material effect on the business.

(iv) Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concessions held.

Walgreens markets products under various trademarks, trade dress and trade names and holds assorted business licenses (pharmacy, occupational, liquor, etc.) having various lives, which are necessary for the normal operation of business. The company also has filed various patent applications relating to its business and products, five of which have been issued.

(v) Seasonal variations in business.

The business is seasonal in nature, with Christmas generating a higher proportion of non-pharmacy sales and earnings than other periods. Both pharmacy and non-pharmacy are effected by the timing and severity of the cold/flu season. See the note "Summary of Quarterly Results (Unaudited)" on page 31 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended August 31, 2005("2005 Annual Report"), which note is incorporated herein by reference.

(vi) Working capital practices.

The company generally finances its inventory and expansion needs with internally generated funds. See the note "Short-Term Borrowings" on page 29 and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition" on pages 20 through 22 of the 2005 Annual Report, which sections are incorporated herein by reference. Short-term borrowings are not expected in fiscal 2006.

Due to the nature of the retail drugstore business 92.7% of all prescription sales are now covered by third party payors. Prescription sales represent 63.7% of total store sales. The remainder of store sales are principally for cash. Customer returns are immaterial.

(vii) Dependence upon limited number of customers.

Sales are to numerous customers which include various managed care organizations; therefore, the loss of any one customer or a group of customers under common control would not have a material effect on the business. No customer accounts for ten percent or more of the company's consolidated sales.

(viii)Backlog orders.

Not applicable.

(ix) Government contracts.

The company fills prescriptions for many state welfare plans. Revenues from all such plans are approximately 9.1% of total sales.

(x) Competitive conditions.

The drug store industry is highly competitive. As a volume leader in the retail drug industry, Walgreens competes with various retailers, including chain and independent drugstores, mail order prescription providers, Internet pharmacies, grocery stores, mass merchants and dollar stores. Competition remained keen during the fiscal year with the company competing on the basis of service, convenience, variety and price. The company's geographic dispersion tends to offset the impact of temporary economic and competitive conditions in individual markets. The number and location of the company's drugstores appear in the listing of stores by state on the back cover of the 2005 Annual Report, which section is incorporated herein by reference.

(xi) Research and development activities.

The company does not engage in any material research activities.

(xii) Environmental disclosures.

Federal, state and local environmental protection requirements have no material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the company.

(xiii)Number of employees.

The company employs approximately 179,000 persons, about 47,600 of whom are part-time employees working less than 30 hours per week.

(d) Financial information about foreign and domestic operations and export sales.

All the company sales occur within the continental United States and Puerto Rico. There are no export sales.

(e) Available information

The company maintains a company website at investor.walgreens.com. The company makes copies of its Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to those reports filed with or furnished to the SEC available to investors on or through its website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the company electronically files them with or furnishes them to the SEC.
