Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans 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. The Plan 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 Plans 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, 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 benefits of The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at the end of the year) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit 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.

The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated |

1. |
Description of the Plan |
Background The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (the Plan), is a defined contribution plan established by Quest Diagnostics Incorporated (the Company or the Plan Sponsor) to provide its eligible employees with retirement benefits. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Fidelity Management Trust Company (FMTC) to form a master trust (Master Trust) to hold the assets of the Plan and the 401(k) Savings Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated on a commingled basis for investment purposes only. The formation of the Master Trust did not affect the investment options of the participants.
Plan assets of $813 related to certain current and former employees of Quest Diagnostics Puerto Rico, who were formerly participants in the Plan, were transferred to the Quest Diagnostics Puerto Rico Defined Contribution Plan during December 2010.
Eligibility and Participant Contributions All eligible employees who have completed one month of service, as defined, may participate in the Plan. Participants may contribute an amount between 1% and 35% of their eligible compensation, as defined, for the contribution period. Catch-up contributions, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, are permissible for eligible participants. Participants may modify their contribution percentage at any time.
Company Matching Contributions The Company matches 100% of a participants contribution, up to 6% of eligible compensation, in cash after the participant completes 12 months of service, as defined, with the Company. Company contributions are remitted to the Plan at the same time that the corresponding participants contributions are remitted.
Participant Accounts A separate individual account is established for each participant in the Plan. Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and an allocation of the Companys contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Earnings are allocated by fund based on the ratio of the participants account invested in a particular fund to all participants investments in that fund.

|
Vesting Participants immediately vest in their voluntary contributions and Company contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Certain participants who were active in plans sponsored by previous employers have vesting requirements applied to their previous employer contribution accounts consistent with the vesting requirements in effect before the assets were merged into the Plan.
Investment Options Participants may elect to have their voluntary contributions and Company matching contributions invested in any or all of the available investment funds, most of which are managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMRC). Participants may also elect to have their voluntary contributions and Company matching contributions invested in shares of the Companys common stock. Participants have the ability to modify their investment elections daily, subject to certain short-term trading restrictions imposed by FMRC and the Companys securities trading policy, which prohibits trading in the Companys common stock on a short-term basis and while in possession of material non-public information about the Company.
Effective November 1, 2007, participants cannot contribute greater than 25% per pay period of pre-tax contributions into the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund. In addition, effective November 1, 2007, participants can transfer monies into the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund only to the extent the percentage of holdings in the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund after the transfer remains below 25% of the participants entire account balance.
Participants may elect to receive their dividends on investments in the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund as a taxable cash payment or to have those dividends automatically reinvested.
Master Trust As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan owned 94.5% and 94.8% of the assets in the Master Trust, respectively.
FMTC has been designated as the trustee of the Master Trust and is responsible for the investment, reinvestment, control, and disbursement of the funds and portfolios of the Plan and the 401(k) Savings Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated. Expenses of administering the Plan, including fees and expenses of the Trustee, may be charged to the Plan. Investment fees are charged against the earnings of the funds and portfolios.
Interest and dividends along with the net appreciation in fair value of investments are allocated to the Plan based upon the Plans participation in the investments that comprise the Master Trust.
Distribution Options Participants can elect to have their benefit distributions, equal to the value of the vested portion of their account balance, paid in the form of a lump sum distribution, a direct rollover into another eligible retirement plan or traditional individual retirement account, installment payments, or for appropriate assets, an annuity.
Withdrawals Withdrawals may be made for qualified emergencies, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. Depending upon the type of withdrawal and the status of the contribution,

|
penalties upon withdrawal may apply. Participants may also begin to make withdrawals without penalty at age 59 ½.
Forfeitures Employer contributions in forfeited nonvested accounts may be used to reduce future employer contributions or pay the Plans expenses. In 2010, contributions made by the Company were reduced by forfeitures of $452.
Notes Receivable from Participants Participants are permitted to obtain loans in amounts not less than $1 and not greater than the lesser of (1) $50, subject to certain limitations as defined by the Plan, or (2) 50% of the participants vested portion of their account value. These loans are secured by one-half of a participants vested account balance and bear interest at prime plus 1% at the time the loans are issued. Loans are repayable over a period of up to five years, unless the proceeds are used to purchase a primary residence, in which case the loan is repayable over a period of up to ten years. Principal and interest are repaid to the Plan through payroll deductions for active employees. Participants can elect to pay the entire outstanding balance of a loan directly to FMTC. Participants who are no longer active employees may continue to repay outstanding loan balances directly to FMTC.
Parties-in-Interest Certain investments of the Master Trust as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are shares of mutual funds, a money market fund, and a collective fund managed by FMRC. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, Master Trust investments with a fair value of $1,994,637 and $1,736,243 respectively, were managed by FMRC.
The Company also is a party-in-interest to the Plan under the definition provided in Section 3(14) of ERISA. Therefore, Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the total fair value of the Master Trusts investment in the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund was $311,241 and $373,926, respectively. During 2010, total purchases and sales of Quest Diagnostic stock by the Master Trust were $25,287 and $46,471, respectively.
In addition, notes receivable from participants qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying value of the Master Trusts notes receivable from participants was $83,091 and $76,971, respectively.
Tax Status The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by letter dated May 17, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has subsequently been amended. During January 2008, the Plan applied for a tax determination letter, which is currently pending issuance, from the IRS. The Plan Sponsor believes that the Plan, as amended since the IRS determination, continues to be designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements.

Plan Administration The Plan Administrator is the Employee Benefits Committee, which is appointed by the Companys Board of Directors. The Plans trustee and record keeper are FMTC and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., respectively.
Administrative Expenses and Other Fees Accounting fees and certain administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Plan or the Company. Loan origination and certain distribution fees are charged against participant accounts.
Termination The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to change or discontinue the Plan at its discretion. Participants will become fully vested in their rights under the Plan if it is terminated or if Company contributions are completely discontinued.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation The Plan maintains its financial records on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties The Plan provides for participant-directed investment of their voluntary contributions and Company matching contributions in a number of investment funds. Certain underlying investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in these risks could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid.
Valuation of Investments Investments are stated at fair value at year-end. Shares of mutual funds, a money market fund, a collective fund, and the Quest Diagnostics Stock Fund held by the Master Trust as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are valued at the net asset value determined by FMRC, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions as to redemption of these investments and the Plan does not have any contractual obligations to further invest in any of the individual funds as of December 31, 2010.

The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated |

Notes to Financial Statements (dollars in thousands) continued |
|
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a standard which requires investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (Managed Income Portfolio II Class 3) held by the Master Trust as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As required by the standard, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the Plans investments, as well as an adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, adjustments of $2,480 and $3,140, respectively, were necessary to decrease the fair value of the Plans investment in the Master Trust attributable to the Managed Income Portfolio II Class 3 fund (the Portfolio) to contract value. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis, as it pertains to the Portfolio.
Refer to Note 4 for additional information related to the valuation of Master Trust investments.
Notes Receivable from Participants Notes receivable from participants are valued at their unpaid principal balance, plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income from notes receivable from participants is recorded on an accrual basis.
Security Transactions and Income Purchases and sales of securities by the Master Trust are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded by the Master Trust on the ex-dividend date. Interest income from investments is recorded by the Master Trust as earned on an accrual basis.
Net investment income from Master Trust represents the Plans share of the dividends, interest and net realized and unrealized gains on investments held by the Master Trust.
Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, and are determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market.
Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having the lowest.
|
|
|
|
Level 1: |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2: |
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. |

|
The Profit Sharing Plan of Quest Diagnostics Incorporated |
|
Notes to Financial Statements (dollars in thousands) continued |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3: |
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. |
New Accounting Standards In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the disclosures about an entitys use of fair value measurements. The amended standards will require entities to provide enhanced disclosures about transfers into and out of the Level 1 (fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities) and Level 2 (fair value determined based on significant other observable inputs) classifications, provide separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 (fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs) classification and provide greater disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities that use fair value measurements. Except for the detailed Level 3 roll-forward disclosures, the amendment was effective for the Plan as of January 1, 2010. The adoption of these provisions of the amendment did not have a material effect on the Plans disclosures. The requirement to provide detailed disclosures about the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity for Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Plan as of January 1, 2011. The Plan does not expect the adoption of this provision of the amendment to have a material effect on the Plans disclosures.
In September 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to participant loans. Under this standard, participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. This amendment, which was adopted by the Plan as of December 31, 2010, requires retrospective application to all periods presented. Prior year balances and disclosures have been revised to reflect the retrospective application of adopting this amendment. The adoption of this amendment, which did not affect Net Assets Available for Benefits, resulted in a reclassification of participant loans of $74,943 from Investment in Master Trust, at fair value, to Notes Receivable from Participants in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements (dollars in thousands) continued |

The Portfolio is a collective fund that invests in short-term bonds, fixed income securities, bond funds and derivative instruments. The Portfolio also invests in third party wrap contracts designed to permit the use of book value accounting to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per unit, although there is no guarantee that the Portfolio will be able to maintain that value. The Portfolio also utilizes the wrap contracts to provide for the payment of participant-directed withdrawals and exchanges at book value under most circumstances. Interest income is credited to the Portfolio under the wrap contracts; investment gains and losses are not recognized immediately but rather recognized over time by adjusting the interest rate credited to the Portfolio. The crediting interest rate was 1.82% and 1.53% at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The average yield rate was 2.25% and 2.74% for 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Portfolio may also purchase investment contracts offered by insurance companies and other approved financial institutions that provide for the payment of a specified rate of interest to the Portfolio and the repayment of interest at maturity. The collective fund and the money market fund have been classified within Level 2 because the fair values of those funds are primarily derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable.
