1. Basis of Presentation
   
   The consolidated financial statements include  the accounts
   of Barr Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
   (the "Company" or "Barr").

   In  the  opinion of the Management of the Company, the interim
   consolidated  financial  statements  include  all  adjustments
   consisting  only  of  normal recurring adjustments,  necessary
   for a fair presentation of the financial position, results  of
   operations  and  cash flows for the interim  periods.  Interim
   results  are  not necessarily indicative of the  results  that
   may  be  expected for a full year.  These financial statements
   should  be  read  in  conjunction with  the  Company's  Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.

Certain  amounts in prior  years' financial  statements have been
   reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
   
2. Inventories

   Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands of
   dollars):

					  December    June 30,
					  31, 1994      1994
								
       Raw materials and supplies          $18,622    $18,064
       Work-in-process                       6,941      5,093
       Finished goods                        5,604      6,193
					   $31,167    $29,350
   
   Tamoxifen  Citrate, purchased as a finished product, accounted
   for  $1,200  and $1,992 of finished goods as of  December  31,
   1994, and June 30, 1994, respectively.


3. Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change - SFAS No.109

   Effective  July  1,  1993, the Company  adopted  Statement  of
   Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109,  "Accounting   for
   Income  Taxes"  (SFAS 109).  The Standard  requires  a  change
   from  the  deferred method under APB Opinion 11 to  the  asset
   and  liability method of accounting for income  taxes.   Under
   the  asset  and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred  income
   taxes  are recognized for future tax consequences attributable
   to   differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying
   amounts   of  existing  assets  and  liabilities   and   their
   respective  tax  bases.  Deferred tax assets  and  liabilities
   are  measured using  enacted tax rates  expected to  apply  to
   taxable  income  in  the years in which temporary  differences
   are  expected  to  be  recovered or settled.   The  cumulative
   effect  of  this  accounting change was  a  one-time  gain  of
   $374,000 or $.04 per share.

4. Earnings Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalents

      For the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 1994
   and  1993, earnings per common share are computed by  dividing
   the  earnings  applicable  to common  stock  by  the  weighted
   average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during   the
   period.   For  the three and six-month periods ended  December
   31,  1994,  the  effects  of  stock options  outstanding  were
   included in the calculation of the number of weighted  average
   common  shares  outstanding.  The effects of  the  convertible
   subordinated debt and related interest adjustment to  earnings
   were  excluded  from the three and six-months  ended  December
   31, 1993, as they would be anti-dilutive.

   
5.      Cash and Cash Equivalents

   As  of  December 31, 1994, $27,241 of the Company's cash  was
   held  in  a  cash collateral account to secure  extension  of
   credit  to it by the manufacturer of Tamoxifen Citrate.  (See
   Management's  Discussion And Analysis Of Financial  Condition
   And   Results   Of  Operations  --  Liquidity   and   Capital
   Resources.)


6.      Commitments and Contingencies

   Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Litigation
   On  November  7, 1994, the United States District  Court,  for
   the  District  of  New  Jersey, issued an  order  (the  "Final
   Order") that resolved the two-year legal dispute between  Barr
   Laboratories,  Inc.  and the U.S. Food &  Drug  Administration
   ("FDA")  over manufacturing practices. The Final Order,  which
   was  negotiated  between  Barr  and  the  FDA,  simultaneously
   concluded  the  FDA's case against Barr, and  Barr's  counter-
   suit against the FDA.

   This  Final  Order  memorialized the procedure  by  which  the
   Company  can  return  to  market  those  products  voluntarily
   suspended  by  the Company early in the dispute,  as  well  as
   products  temporarily suspended by the Court.  This  procedure
   requires,   among  other  things,  the  Company   to   perform
   successful  validation studies for each product prior  to  re-
   introduction.    The   Final   Order   also    outlines    the
   responsibilities  of  the  FDA in  working  closely  with  the
   Company to reintroduce these products.

   The  Final Order follows notification by the FDA, in September
   1994,  that  the  Company is in compliance with  current  Good
   Manufacturing  Practice ("cGMP") regulations  based  upon  the
   results  of the FDA's most recent cGMP inspections that  ended
   in  July 1994. The notification of compliance cleared the  way
   for   the  Company  to  receive  new  product  approvals.  The
   Company's   first  approval,  for  ciprofloxacin  tablets,   a
   product  that is subject to an ongoing patent  challenge,  was
   received in January 1995.

   In addition,  the Company  has received   approval   for   the  
   majority   of   its   pending supplemental    applications  to   
   its   existing    approved abbreviated  new drug applications, 
   which were  delayed  during  the  resolution  of cGMP  issues. 
   These  supplemental  approvals  will  further  facilitate  the
   Company's ability to reintroduce additional suspended products. 

   The  dispute  between the Company and the FDA began  following
   extended  FDA  inspections in 1991  and  1992,  when  the  FDA
   determined  that the Company was not in compliance with  cGMP,
   a  position  the Company disputed.  After attempts to  resolve
   this  dispute  failed, in June 1992, the FDA filed  an  action
   seeking injunctive relief against the Company and two  of  the
   Company's  current and one former officer for certain  alleged
   violations  of  the  cGMP  regulations  (the  "Action").  This
   Action was consolidated for trial and discovery purposes  with
   the  action brought by the Company in April 1992 in the United
   States  District Court for the District of New Jersey, against
   the   FDA  seeking  judicial  clarification  of  certain  cGMP
   regulations  and the corresponding sanctions  imposed  by  the
   FDA   on   the  Company  for  alleged  violations   of   those
   regulations.

   Following a 15-day trial during August, September and  October
   1992,  the  Court  issued  a decision  in  February  1993  for
   preliminary  injunction  against the  Company  (the  "Order").
   The  Court  ordered,  among other things,  (i)  the  temporary
   suspension  of  certain  products  from  the  Company's  then-
   current  product line; (ii) the recall of 12 batches  (out  of
   over  seven  thousand  reviewed  during  the  proceedings)  of
   previously  marketed products; and (iii)  certain  changes  to
   the  Company's testing practices. The FDA's motion was  denied
   in  other  respects, including the claim against the Company's
   officers.

   A  total  of   thirty-nine  products  of  the  Company's  1993
   product   line   of  sixty  products  were   ordered   to   be
   "concurrently  validated" (i.e., extensive  testing  on  three
   consecutive  production  batches) by the  Company  within  one
   year.   Of  the  thirty-nine  products  for  which  concurrent
   validation   was   required,   the   Company   validated   the
   economically significant products successfully.

   Since  1993,  the Company has made the changes and  taken  the
   actions  necessary to comply with the Order and  has  operated
   in  substantial  compliance with the Order.  The  Final  Order
   brings  to  closure all significant cGMP issues  between  Barr
   and the FDA.


   Shareholder Action
   On  November  16, 1994, the Company agreed to  settle  a  1992
   shareholder action, filed against the Company and  two  former
   officers,   which  alleged  the  violation  of   certain   SEC
   regulations.  In December, the Court approved the settlement.

   Management strongly believed that the case was without merit,
   but determined that it was in the Company's best interest  to
   settle rather than participate in continued litigation.
<PAGE>

	    BARR LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
	   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
			   (unaudited)

   The  total  settlement, valued at approximately $1.8  million,
   will  be  shared  equally by the Company and its  insurers.  A
   provision  for the Company's estimated share of  the  cost  of
   the  action   has been  previously included in  the  Company's
   consolidated    financial  statements,   and   therefore   the
   settlement  is  not  expected to have any significant  adverse
   effect on the Company's future earnings.

   Other Litigation
   The  Company,  at  December 31, 1994, was  involved  in  other
   lawsuits   incidental  to  its  business,   including   patent
   infringement  actions.  Management, based  on  the  advice  of
   legal counsel, believes that the ultimate disposition of  such
   other  lawsuits  will not have any significant adverse  effect
   on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


7. Subsequent Events

   On  January  24,  1995,  the Company  announced  that  it  had
   elected  to  prepay  the  entire  principal  amount   of   all
   outstanding 10.05% Convertible Subordinated Notes, which  were
   due  June  28,  2001.  Under terms of the Note agreement,  the
   noteholders  can convert the Notes, valued at $10 million,  to
   approximately 510,000 shares of Barr common stock, or  receive
   a  cash  payment  of $10 million plus a make-whole  amount  of
   approximately  $750,000. In February,  1995,  the  noteholders
   informed  the Company of their intention to convert  all  such
   Notes  to  common  shares  of Barr  Laboratories  stock.   The
   noteholders  have  informed  the  Company  that  the   shares,
   received  for  the conversion, are expected  to  be  privately
   placed.
   
   Upon  conversion of the Notes into common shares, the  Company
   will  incur  an  extraordinary loss of approximately  $200,000
   related  to the write-off of previously capitalized  financing
   costs associated with the $10 million Notes.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial
Condition And Results Of Operations

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Quarter Ended December 31, 1994
to the Quarter Ended December 31, 1993 - (thousands of dollars)

Net  sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, were  $50,878
compared  to $25,621 for the comparable quarter last  year.   The
98.6%  increase is primarily attributable to a continued increase
in  demand  for  Tamoxifen Citrate, the breast  cancer  treatment
distributed  by the Company, as well as increased sales  for  the
balance of the Company's product lines.

During  the  three  months  ended December  31,  1994,  sales  of
Tamoxifen  Citrate accounted for approximately 72% of net  sales.
Since  the  Company  did not commence selling  Tamoxifen  Citrate
until  November  1, 1993, a comparison of sales  of  the  product
during the three months period ended December 31, 1994, with such
sales  during  the  comparable  period  in  1993,  would  not  be
meaningful.   Tamoxifen  Citrate is a  patented  product  and  is
manufactured  for  the  Company by the  innovator/patent  holder.
Tamoxifen  Citrate, which is distributed by the Company  under  a
non-exclusive  license  agreement with the  innovator,  currently
only  competes  against the innovator's product,  which  is  sold
under a brand name.

Gross  profit increased to $11,021 from $6,909 in the  comparable
quarter  last  year.   This increase was  due  primarily  to  the
continued  increased  demand for Tamoxifen  Citrate.   The  gross
margin  as  a  percentage of net sales decreased  to  21.7%  from
27.0%.  This decrease is primarily attributed to the lower  gross
margins associated with the distribution of Tamoxifen Citrate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to  $4,287
from $4,309 in the comparable quarter last year and declined as a
percentage  of  net  sales to 8.4% from 16.8% in  the  comparable
quarter   last  year.   During  this  period,  selling   expenses
decreased  by  $495, resulting from a streamlining  of  both  the
outside  sales force and in-house sales personnel.  Additionally,
decreases  in  spending on advertising as well as  lower  royalty
expenses  also contributed to this decrease in selling  expenses.
The  Company's  legal  expenses decreased  as  a  result  of  the
settlement  of  its  dispute with the FDA. (See  note  6  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Research  and development expenses for the quarter ended December
31,  1994,  were  $2,863 compared to $1,782  for  the  comparable
quarter   last   year,  a  60.7%  increase.    The   Company   is
substantially increasing its research and development efforts  in
fiscal  1994-1995.   The  Company continues  to  hire  additional
personnel,   purchase   raw  material  used   in   research   and
development, and has increased spending with outside laboratories
to conduct biostudies.  Accordingly, the Company expects research
and  development  costs to continue to increase from  prior  year
levels.

Interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 1994, was $375
compared  to  $115  for  the comparable  quarter  last  year,  an
increase  of 226.1% due to an increase in the average balance  of
<PAGE>

short-term  investments as well as an increase  in  the  rate  of
return earned on those investments.

The  tax provisions for the quarters ended December 31, 1994, and
December  31, 1993, were calculated at an effective tax  rate  of
39.0% and 36.8% respectively.


Results of Operations
Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 1994
to the Six Months Ended December 31, 1993
(thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

Net  sales  for  the  six months ended December  31,  1994,  were
$94,925  compared to $38,818 for the comparable six  months  last
year.   The  144.5%  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  a
continued  increase in demand for Tamoxifen Citrate,  the  breast
cancer treatment distributed by the Company, as well as increased
sales for the balance of  the Company's product lines.

During the six months ended December 31, 1994, sales of Tamoxifen
Citrate accounted for approximately 70% of net sales.  Since  the
Company did not commence selling Tamoxifen Citrate until November
1,  1993,  a  comparison of sales of the product during  the  six
month period ended December 31, 1994, with such sales during  the
comparable  period  in 1993, would not be meaningful.   Tamoxifen
Citrate is a patented product and is manufactured for the Company
by  the  innovator/patent holder.  Tamoxifen  Citrate,  which  is
distributed   by  the  Company  under  a  non-exclusive   license
agreement with the innovator, currently only competes against the
innovator's product, which is sold under a brand name.

Gross  profit increased to $20,965 from $13,550 in the comparable
six  months  last year.  This increase was due primarily  to  the
continued  increased  demand for Tamoxifen  Citrate.   The  gross
margin  as  a  percentage of net sales decreased  to  22.1%  from
34.9%.  This decrease is primarily attributed to the lower  gross
margins associated with the distribution of Tamoxifen Citrate.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to  $8,479
from $9,011 in the comparable six months last year, a decrease of
5.8%,  and  declined as a percentage of net sales  to  8.9%  from
23.2%  in  the  comparable six months  last  year.   During  this
period,  selling  expenses decreased by $803,  resulting  from  a
streamlining  of both the outside sales force and in-house  sales
personnel.   Additionally, decreases in spending on  advertising,
salesmen's   commissions   and  lower   royalty   expenses   also
contributed to this decrease in selling expenses.  The  Company's
legal  expenses  decreased as a result of the settlement  of  its
dispute  with  the  FDA  (See  note 6 to  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.)  and  a  decrease  in  those  expenses  incurred  in
connection with the Company's lawsuit challenging the validity of
the patent on AZT.

Research and development expenses for the six months December 31,
1994,  were  $5,162  compared to $3,234 for  the  comparable  six
months last year, a 59.6% increase.  The Company is substantially
increasing  its research and development efforts in fiscal  1994-
1995.   The  Company  continues  to  hire  additional  personnel,
purchase raw material used in research and development,  and  has
increased   spending   with  outside  laboratories   to   conduct
biostudies.   Accordingly,  the  Company  expects  research   and
development costs to continue to increase from prior year levels.

Interest  income for the six months ended December 31, 1994,  was
$691 compared to $271 for the comparable six months last year, an
increase  of 155.0% due to an increase in the average balance  of
<PAGE>

short-term  investments as well as an increase  in  the  rate  of
return earned on those investments.

The  tax  provisions for the six months ended December 31,  1994,
and  1993, were calculated at an effective tax rate of 39.0%  and
36.8%  respectively.  Additionally, effective July 1,  1993,  the
Company  adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No.
109,  "Accounting  for Income Taxes."  The cumulative  effect  of
this  accounting change was a one time gain of $374 or  $.04  per
share.  (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38,782 at December
31,  1994,  compared to $36,499 at June 30, 1994, an increase  of
$2,283.   This increase primarily resulted from cash provided  by
operating  activities partially offset by the  Company's  use  of
funds for capital expenditures.  As of December 31, 1994, $27,241
of  the  Company's cash was held in a cash collateral account  to
secure extension of credit to it by the manufacturer of Tamoxifen
Citrate.  The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to using
cash to secure its credit, including obtaining a letter of credit
facility.   The  Company  has  the  right  to  replace  the  cash
collateral  with  a  letter of credit once  such  a  facility  is
obtained.

Cash  provided from operating activities was $4,848 for  the  six
months  ended December 31, 1994, which included net  earnings  of
$4,093.   Additionally,  increases in accounts  payable,  accrued
liabilities and income taxes payable of $8,167, as well  as  non-
cash  charges  (depreciation and amortization) of  $2,045  had  a
favorable  impact on the cash provided by operating   activities.
The  increases in  accounts  payable and accounts receivable were
primarily  due  to  increased purchases and  sales  of  Tamoxifen
Citrate.

The  Company  purchased approximately $3,166  in  capital  assets
during  the  six months ended December 31, 1994.   Upgrading  the
Company's  core computer systems, an expansion of  the  Company's
executive  and  administrative  offices  and  purchase   of   new
equipment  accounted for the majority of these expenditures.  The
Company  expects  that  its  capital  expenditures  may  increase
significantly  during the fourth quarter of  fiscal  1995.   This
anticipated  increase  will  be  primarily  attributed   to   the
construction  of a new multi-purpose facility.   The  Company  is
currently evaluating alternatives for financing the construction.

Management believes that existing capital resources, along with
the Company's ability to obtain additional capital, if required,
will be adequate to meet its needs for the foreseeable future.
