                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               Six Months Ended
                        June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995



         Note 1: The financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It
is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
annual report on Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

         In the opinion of management, the information contained in this
report reflects all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring
nature, to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented.

         Note 2: On January 29, 1996, the underwriter, Keane Securities Co.,
Inc. exercised its over-allotment option and the Company sold 247,500 shares
of common stock for net proceeds of $1,835,000.


ITEM II. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     The Company has generated no revenues to date and, from inception until
June 30, 1996, the Company accumulated a deficit of $9,205,000.

     Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its
efforts to improving and renovating its manufacturing plant, equipment and
certain related assets (the "Facility"), establishing policies and procedures
to bring the Facility into compliance with Current Good Manufacturing
Practices, and obtaining all government approvals necessary to begin operating
the Facility. The Facility is not currently operating; however, the Company
believes it will receive necessary approvals in order to begin selling one or

                                      6
<PAGE>

more generic products in 1996, although there can be no assurance such
approvals will be obtained. Accordingly, the Company is considered a
development stage company as defined in Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

         The Company's net loss for the second quarter ended June 30, 1996 was
$1,154,000 as compared to $609,000 in the same period in 1995.

     General and administrative expenses were $1,239,000 in the second quarter
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $528,000 during the same period in 1995 due
primarily to increased payroll costs, professional and consulting fees,
utilities, repairs, renovations, materials and insurance expenses.

         Interest income (net of interest expense of $8,000) was $84,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, as compared to interest expense of $81,000
during the quarter ended June 30, 1995, primarily as result of the investment
of the initial public offering ("IPO") proceeds into highly rated money market
funds, U.S. Government securities, treasury bills and short-term commercial
paper.

         The Company's net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$1,714,000 as compared to $957,000 in the same period in 1995.

     General and administrative expenses were $2,072,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $833,000 during the same period in 1995 due
primarily to increased payroll costs, professional and consulting fees,
utilities, repairs, renovations, materials and insurance expenses.

     Interest income (net of interest expense at $20,000) was $200,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to interest expense of $124,000
during the six months ended June 30, 1995, primarily as result of the
investment of the IPO proceeds into highly rated money market funds, U.S.
government securities, treasury bills and short-term commercial paper.

     Other income of $158,000 generated during the six months ended June 30,
1996 was due primarily to a renegotiation of previously accrued legal
expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Following the completion of the IPO on December 19, 1995, the underwriter
exercised the over-allotment option and on January 29, 1996 the Company sold
247,500 shares of Common Stock for net proceeds to the Company of $1,835,000.

     In June 1996, the Company received approval for a $1,000,000 loan with
Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority at 3.75% annually fixed for 15
years, which proceeds will be used for certain capital projects planned for
the balance of 1996 and 1997.

         AGREEMENT made as of May 1, 1996 by and between GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL

         In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein the parties
hereto agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE I.

                              Term of Employment

         A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the
Corporation will employ Executive on the terms provided in this Agreement from
May 20, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), until the date the employment of

of employment in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of,
this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE II.

         (a) use his best efforts to promote the interests of the Corporation
and devote his full time and efforts to its business and affairs;

         (b) perform such duties consistent with the offices described in

and

         (c) serve as the Vice President-Operations, reporting solely to the

<PAGE>

                                  ARTICLE IV.

                               Term; Termination

         A. Unless terminated sooner as hereinafter provided, the initial term
of employment of Executive under this Agreement shall be for a period of three
(3) years from the Effective Date hereof (the "Initial Term"). The term of
employment of Executive shall continue thereafter for an additional one year
period commencing on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, unless
either party has notified the other no later than three (3) months prior to
that third anniversary that he or it does not wish to continue the term of
employment of Executive under this Agreement or unless Executive's employment
is terminated sooner as hereinafter provided. Thereafter, Executive's term of
employment under this Agreement shall continue for additional one (1) year
period, unless either party has notified the other no later than three (3)
months prior to the end of any of those additional one (1) year periods that
he or it does not wish to continue Executive's term of employment under this
Agreement or unless Executive's term of employment is terminated sooner as
hereinafter provided.

         B. The Corporation may terminate the employment of Executive
hereunder (i) for Cause at any time and without prior notice or (ii) for any
other reason on two (2) weeks notice in writing to Executive.

<PAGE>



         1. If the Corporation terminates Executive's employment for "Cause"
(as defined below) or pursuant to Section 4.D hereof then the Corporation
shall, within fifteen (15) days after the termination date, pay Executive all
accrued and unpaid Salary and benefits (including accrued but unused vacation
time) through the termination date.

         2. If the Corporation terminates Executive's employment other than
for Cause, then the Corporation shall, subject to the Executive's compliance
with Section 5 hereof, pay Executive, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, (a) within 15 days after the termination date, all accrued and unpaid
Salary and benefits (including accrued but unused vacation time) through the
termination date and (b) continued Salary and benefits during the six-month
period following the termination date.

         3. The phrase "Cause" means any of the following:
