REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Financial Benefit Plans Committee of the Cardinal Health 401(k) Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico (formerly the Cardinal Health Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico):

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Cardinal Health 401(k) Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico (formerly the Cardinal Health Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 Plan’s 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 financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Supplemental Schedule of Assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 and the Schedule of Delinquent Participant Contributions for the year ended December 31, 2005 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of and for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

General

The Cardinal Health 401(k) Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico (formerly the Cardinal Health Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan for Employees of Puerto Rico) (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of Cardinal Health, Inc. (the “Company”) residing in Puerto Rico and not covered by a collective bargaining agreement who have completed one month of service, as defined. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

The Cardinal Health, Inc. U.S. Qualified Plans Master Trust (formerly the Master Trust for Retirement Plans of Cardinal Health, the “Master Trust”) was established for the Plan and certain other plans of the Company.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

Administration

The Company had previously established a Benefits Policy Committee that was responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan. In December 2004, the Company established a Financial Benefit Plans Committee (the “Committee”) that assumed the responsibilities for the general operation and administration of the Plan in 2005.

Banco Santander Puerto Rico (“Banco Santander”) is the Plan trustee. During 2004, the Benefits Policy Committee authorized the change from Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (“Putnam”) as the Plan record keeper and asset custodian to Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”).

Contributions

Contributions to the Plan may consist of participant elective contributions, rollover contributions, and Company matching, special and discretionary profit sharing contributions.

Participants may elect to contribute up to 10% of their compensation (subject to certain limitations), as defined by the Plan. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.

The Company will match 100% of the first 3% of participant elective deferrals, and 50% of the next 2% of pretax contributions. In addition, the Company may elect to make special and discretionary profit-sharing contributions and qualified matching contributions. The special contributions are allocated to the participants in the eligible group based on their proportionate share of total eligible compensation in that group. The discretionary profit sharing contributions are allocated to participants based on their proportionate share of total eligible compensation.

Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company’s matching, discretionary profit sharing and special contributions are also invested as directed by participants.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s elective contributions, allocations of the Company’s contributions, Plan earnings and any rollover contributions made by the participant. A participant is entitled to the benefit provided from the participant’s vested account balance. All amounts invested in participant accounts are participant-directed.

Vesting

Participants are vested immediately in their elective deferral and matching contributions, plus actual earnings thereon after January 1, 2005. A participant is 100% vested in the Company’s discretionary and matching contributions prior to December 31, 2004 after three years of vesting service, or if the participant dies, becomes disabled, or reaches retirement age, as defined, while employed by the Company.

Forfeitures

Non-vested account balances are generally forfeited either upon full distribution of vested balances or completion of five consecutive one-year breaks in service, as defined. Forfeitures are either used to reduce Company contributions to the Plan or to pay reasonable expenses of the Plan as determined by the Committee.

Forfeitures used to reduce Company contributions and to pay reasonable expenses were $35,832 and $2,943 during 2005 and 2004, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited non-vested accounts were $53,434 and $64,365, respectively.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are paid by the Company or the Plan, except for loan fees, which are paid by the borrowing participant.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 less the highest outstanding balance during the prior 12 months or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Participant loans are secured by the remaining vested balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at a reasonable rate, as established by the Committee, currently Prime plus 1%, set monthly for the life of the loan. Loan repayments, including interest and applicable loan fees, are generally repaid through payroll deductions.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of employment, death, retirement or disability, distributions are generally made in the form of a lump-sum payment. In addition, the Plan includes a provision for participants to make withdrawals from their account under certain hardship circumstances or obtaining age 59¹/2, as defined. Required qualified joint and survivor annuity payment options are preserved for the portion of participant accounts transferred to the Plan from a money purchase pension plan.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Certain Plan investments, other than participant loans, are in the Master Trust. Mutual funds and common share investments in the Master Trust are valued as determined by quoted market prices. Common collective trusts are stated at estimated fair value, which has been determined based on the unit values of the trust. The trustee sponsoring the common collective trust determines the unit value by dividing the trust’s net asset at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. Investment contracts issued by insurance companies and banks are considered fully benefit-responsive and therefore are recorded at contract value, which represents beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expenses and approximates fair value.

Participant loans are valued based on remaining unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

3. INVESTMENTS

The fair market values of individual assets that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s assets were as follows:


	December 31
	2005		2004
Investments in Master Trust	$	4,081,606	$	3,531,832

Mutual funds:
Dodge & Cox Stock Fund - 17,371 and 15,766 shares, respectively		2,383,663		2,053,099

Columbia Acorn USA Fund Z - 40,795 and 35,444 shares, respectively		1,102,702		893,177

Fidelity Diversified International Fund - 32,045 and 26,007 shares, respectively		1,042,731		744,836	*

Fidelity Growth Company Fund - 13,811 and 13,128 shares, respectively		878,800		736,104	*

Common, collective trust:
Fidelity US Equity Index Pool - 52,312 and 55,528 shares, respectively		2,052,738		2,077,863
Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares - 23,481 shares and 22,067 shares, respectively		1,615,606		1,283,192

*	Shown for comparative purposes only

Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments was as follows:


	2005		2004
Mutual funds	$	413,507	$	527,343
Common, collective trust		95,878		16,087
Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares		248,553		(16,369	)

Total net appreciation in the fair value of investments	$	757,938	$	527,061

4. ASSETS HELD IN MASTER TRUST

Certain of the Plan’s investments are in the Master Trust which was established for the investment of assets of the Plan and several other Company sponsored retirement plans. Each participating retirement plan has an undivided interest in the Master Trust. Investment income and expenses are allocated to the Plan based on its equitable share of the total Master Trust assets. The Plan’s interest in Master Trust net investment gain presented in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits consists of the unrealized and realized gains (losses) and the dividends on those investments.

The Stable Value Fund (the “Fund”) invests in guaranteed investment contracts (“GIC’s”) and actively managed structured or synthetic investment contracts (“SIC’s”). The GIC’s are promises by a bank or insurance company to repay principal plus a fixed rate of return through contract maturity. SIC’s differ from GIC’s in that there are specific assets supporting the SIC’s, and these assets are owned by the Master Trust. The bank or insurance company issues a wrapper contract that allows participant-directed transactions to be made at contract value. The assets supporting the SIC’s are invested in Wells Fargo fixed income collective trust funds comprised of government agency bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with fair values of $207,079,665 and $181,266,339 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fair value of the GIC’s at December 31, 2005 and 2004 approximates the contract value at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Interest crediting rates on the GIC’s in the Fund are determined at the time of purchase. Interest crediting rates on the SIC’s are set at the time of purchase and reset periodically, normally quarterly, based on the market value, duration and yield to maturity of the underlying assets. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the interest rates for GIC’s and Fixed Maturity SIC’s ranged from 2.34% to 6.35% and 3.47% to 5.72%, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the average annual yield for the investment contracts in the Fund was 4.87% and 4.54%, respectively. Fair value for the SIC’s was estimated based on the fair value of each contract’s supporting assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

The assets in the Master Trust were as follows:


	December 31
	2005		2004
Investments, at fair value:
Mutual funds	$	1,012,446,774	$	734,740,375
Common collective trusts		244,915,607		191,654,764
Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares		335,379,415		326,734,465
Investments, at contract value:
Insurance and bank investment contracts		289,357,028		289,045,854
Cash and pending activity		407,368		(676,588	)

Total net assets in Master Trust	$	1,882,506,192	$	1,541,498,870

The investment income of the Master Trust was as follows:


	2005		2004
Dividend and interest income	$	29,551,365	$	18,355,879
Net appreciation in the fair value of investments:
Mutual funds		64,589,791		17,897,256
Common collective trusts		25,766,010		26,491,647
Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares		52,372,028		1,979,070

Net appreciation in the fair value of investments		142,727,829		46,367,973

Total investment income of Master Trust	$	172,279,194	$	64,723,852

The Plan’s share of investments in the Master Trust was less than 1%, or $4,081,606 and $3,531,832 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

5. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Puerto Rican Department of Treasury dated June 30, 2000, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 1165(a) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994 (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Puerto Rican Department of Treasury, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Committee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

6. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Plan has a participant-directed investment in Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares and other investment securities that are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

7. PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

8. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

Certain of the Plan’s investments at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. During 2004, Fidelity became the record keeper of the Plan, and, therefore, transactions involving these funds were considered party-in-interest transactions.

The Plan held $1,615,606 and $1,283,192 of Cardinal Health, Inc. common shares at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
