         On October 23, 2002, Express Scripts, Inc. (the "Company") issued a
press release concerning our third quarter 2002 financial performance, for which
we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated October 23, 2002, under Items 5, 7
and 9. During the final preparation and review stages of our Form 10-Q for the
third quarter, we discovered that $23.9 million cash received during the third
quarter, as an initial payment towards the National Prescription Administrators
working capital purchase price adjustment, was included as an increase to cash
flow from operations, as opposed to a reduction in cash used in investing
activities.

         A revised Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. This correction has no impact on the cash
balance as of September 30, 2002. In addition, the correction has no impact on
the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations.

         The impact of this correction is to reduce cash from operations for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $115.3 million and
$310.8 million to $91.4 million and $287.0 million, respectively. In addition,
net cash used in investing and financing activities for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2002, increased from a negative $121.3 million
and a negative $327.0 million, to a negative $97.4 million and a negative $303.1
million, respectively.
