                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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, 1999 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period
       ended September 30, 1999.

2.     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

       Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments
       (primarily market auction securities with interest rates that are re-set
       in intervals of 7 to 35 days) which are readily convertible into cash at
       par value (cost).

       As of December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999, approximately $42,427 and
       $28,283, respectively, of the Company's cash was held in an interest
       bearing escrow account. Such amounts represent the portion of the
       Company's payable balance with the Innovator of Tamoxifen, which the
       Company has decided to secure in connection with its cash management
       policy. The Company pays the Innovator a monthly fee based on a rate
       multiplied by the average unsecured monthly Tamoxifen payable balance.

3.     INVENTORIES

       Inventories consisted of the following:

</TABLE>



         During the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, there
         were 914, 914, 226 and 514, respectively, of outstanding options that
         were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because the
         options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of
         the common stock for the period.

5.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         Comprehensive income is defined as the total change in shareholders'
         equity during the period other than from transactions with
         shareholders. For the Company, comprehensive income is comprised of net
         income and the net changes in unrealized gains and losses on securities
         classified for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
         115 purposes as "available for sale". Total comprehensive income for
         the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $12,460,
         $24,152, $12,370 and $23,003, respectively.

6.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
         issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
         Activities," which becomes effective for financial statements beginning
         after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires that companies recognize all
         derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and
         measure those instruments at fair value. The Company is currently
         evaluating this statement and its impact on the Company's existing
         accounting policies and financial reporting disclosures.

7.       STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS

         The Company, from time to time, enters into development or supply
         collaborations or makes investments in third parties to support the
         Company's business strategies. These collaborations include, but are
         not limited to, agreements with suppliers for raw materials, licensing
         technologies for generic or proprietary products and making equity or
         debt investments in third parties. Financial terms may include cash
         payments upon execution of an agreement or upon achieving certain
         milestones or upon successful launch and commercialization of the
         developed product. Such payments are either capitalized as other assets
         and amortized or expensed as research and development, depending upon
         the nature of the payment. Many of these arrangements include
         termination provisions that allow the Company to withdraw from a
         project if it is deemed no longer appropriate by the Company.

8.       FACILITY OPTIMIZATION CHARGE

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded a
         $540 restructuring charge, which is included in selling, general and
         administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
         This charge is for severance related costs in conjunction with the
         optimization of the New York and New Jersey manufacturing operations.
         As of December 31, 1999, the facility optimization has been completed
         and all payments have been made.

9.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Invamed, Inc./Apothecon, Inc. Lawsuit

         In February 1998 and May 1999, Invamed, Inc. ("Invamed") and Apothecon,
         Inc. ("Apothecon"), respectively, named the Company and several others
         as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court
         for the Southern District of New York, charging that the Company
         unlawfully blocked access to the raw material source for Warfarin
         Sodium. The Company believes that the suit is without merit and intends
         to defend its position vigorously. These actions are currently in
         discovery stage. It is anticipated that this matter will take a
         significant period of time to be resolved but an adverse judgement
         could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
         statements.

         Other Litigation

         As of December 31, 1999, the Company was involved in other lawsuits
         incidental to its business, including patent infringement actions.
         Management of the Company, 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.

         Administrative Matters

         Federal antitrust authorities have undertaken a review of certain trade
         practices within the pharmaceutical industry, specifically patent
         challenge settlements, unfair trade practices by brand drug companies
         and exclusive supply arrangements. The Company has voluntarily
         discussed with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") its arrangements
         with the supplier of the raw material for its Warfarin Sodium. The
         Company has voluntarily responded to requests from the Department of
         Justice by providing documents relating to the settlement of its
         Tamoxifen patent challenge. On June 30, 1999, the Company received a
         subpoena and civil investigative demand from the FTC relating to its
         March 1997 patent litigation settlement regarding ciprofloxacin
         hydrochloride. The Company complied with the terms of the requests and
         since

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         then has not received any further requests. The Company believes that
         it has complied with all applicable laws and regulations governing
         trade and competition in the marketplace in connection with its
         arrangements with its raw material suppliers and its two patent
         challenge settlements.

10.      SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On January 19, 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent to establish
         a strategic relationship with DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company ("DuPont")
         to develop, market and promote five different proprietary products and,
         upon finalization of the agreements, to terminate all litigation
         between the two companies. The Company filed Form 8-K on January 21,
         2000.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:
Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 to the Three Months Ended
December 31, 1998 - (thousands of dollars)


Total revenues increased approximately 11% primarily as a result of increased
Product sales.

Tamoxifen sales increased 17% from $64,119 to $75,201. The increase is due
primarily to an expansion in the use of Tamoxifen. In October 1998, Tamoxifen
was approved to reduce the incidence of breast cancer in women at high risk of
developing the disease. Tamoxifen is a patent protected product manufactured for
the Company by the Innovator. Currently, Tamoxifen only competes against the
Innovator's product, which is sold under the brand name.

The prior year sales included $2,035 of Minocycline sales which the Company
stopped selling in late 1999 because of deteriorating market conditions.

Other product sales increased 6% from $36,483 to $38,786. The increase was lead
by increases in market share for Medroxyprogesterone, Naltrexone, Danazol and
sales of Cefadroxil, which the Company launched in June 1999. While Warfarin
sales increased sequentially, they declined approximately 11% from the prior
year as volume increases were more than offset by increased pricing pressures
due to the entrance of multiple generic competitors and continued activities by
the brand manufacturer to retain its market share.

Cost of sales increased to $81,326 from $73,920, due to increased product sales,
but decreased as a percentage of product sales from 72% to 71%. The decrease in
cost of sales as a percentage of product sales is the result of a more favorable
mix within products manufactured by the Company, partially offset by an
increased percentage of Tamoxifen sales to total sales. Tamoxifen is distributed
by the Company and has lower margins than most of Barr's other products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $9,824 to $10,387.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal spending related to the
Company's federal anti-trust suit against DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company, as
well as patent challenge activities.

Total research and development expenses in the quarter increased from $5,452 to
$9,596. This increase resulted from increased bio-study and clinical trial costs
and higher personnel costs, each supporting an increased number of products in
development. Of the $9,596 in research and development spending, $1,713 was in
support of the Company's proprietary drug development efforts, an increase of
$920 over the prior year quarter.

Interest income increased by $299 primarily due to an increase in the average
cash and cash equivalents balance, partially offset by a slight decrease in the
market rates on the Company's short-term investments. The decrease in the market
rates was primarily the result of the Company investing in a greater amount of
tax-free investments which generally have lower rates than taxable investments,
but reduce the effective tax rate of the Company.

Interest expense decreased $124 due to a decrease in the Company's debt balances
and lower fees paid on the average unsecured Tamoxifen payable balance.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11
The effective income tax rate decreased from 38.5% for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 to 37.5% for the same period in the current fiscal year. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the Company investing in a greater amount
of tax-free investments during the quarter, which lowers the overall tax rate
paid by the Company.


Results of Operations:
Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 to the Six Months Ended
December 31, 1998 - (thousands of dollars)


Total revenues increased approximately 6% as a result of increased Product sales
partially offset by a decrease in Proceeds from supply agreements.

Tamoxifen sales increased 9% from $119,373 to $130,471. The increase is due
primarily to an expansion in the use of Tamoxifen.

The prior year sales included $4,028 of Minocycline sales which the Company
stopped selling in late 1999 because of deteriorating market conditions.

Other product sales increased 10% from $68,385 to $75,486. The increase was led
by higher sales of Medroxyprogesterone, Naltrexone, Cefadroxil and Danazol.
These increases were driven mainly by increases in market share which more than
offset price declines on certain existing products. Although market share
increases caused higher volumes, Warfarin sales declined approximately 3% from
the prior year due to the entrance of multiple generic competitors and continued
activities by the brand manufacturer to retain its market share.

Proceeds from supply agreements declined $1,000, as expected, since proceeds
earned in the prior year under a separate contingent supply agreement related to
the ciprofloxacin litigation ceased.

Cost of sales increased from $137,828 to $143,299 primarily related to an
increase in product sales. As a percentage of product sales, cost of sales
declined from 72% to 70%. This percentage decline was attributable to a more
favorable mix within manufactured products, offset slightly by an increased
percentage of sales of Tamoxifen to total sales. Tamoxifen is distributed by the
Company and has lower margins than most of Barr's other products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $19,767 to $20,797.
The increase was primarily due to increased legal and government affairs costs,
as well as a restructuring charge, partially offset by a decrease in advertising
and promotions. Legal expenses during the six months were primarily related to
the Company's federal anti-trust suit against DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company and
increased patent challenge activities. Government affairs expenses were
primarily related to legislative issues in Florida and Illinois. In the three
months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded a $540 restructuring
charge, related to its continued optimization of its New York and New Jersey
manufacturing operations. Advertising and promotional costs declined, primarily
as a result of less media advertising.

Total research and development expenses increased from $10,822 to $18,663. This
increase results from increased bio-study and clinical trial costs and higher
personnel costs, each supporting an increased number of products in development.
Research and development spending in support of the Company's proprietary drug
development efforts increased approximately $2,233 to $3,133.

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
Interest income increased by $507 primarily due to an increase in the average
cash and cash equivalents balance, partially offset by a slight decrease in the
market rates on the Company's short-term investments. The decrease in the market
rates was primarily the result of the Company investing in a greater amount of
tax-free investments which generally have lower rates than taxable investments,
but reduce the effective tax rate of the Company.

Interest expense decreased $149 due to a decrease in the Company's debt balances
and lower fees paid on the average unsecured Tamoxifen payable balance.

Other income increased $415 primarily due to the gain recognized on the warrants
received from Halsey Drug Co., Inc.

The effective income tax rate decreased from 38.5% for the six months ended
December 31, 1998 to 37.5% for the same period in the current fiscal year. This
decrease was primarily attributable to the Company investing in a greater amount
of tax-free investments, which lowers the overall tax rate paid by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased from $94,867 at June 30, 1999
to $73,960 at December 31, 1999. During the six months ended December 31, 1999,
the Company increased the cash held in its interest bearing escrow account from
$28,283 at June 30, 1999 to $42,427.

Cash used in operating activities totaled $14,750 for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 as working capital increases more than offset net earnings and
non-cash charges such as depreciation. The working capital increase was led by
increases in inventory and accounts receivable which were partially offset by
increases in accounts payable and income taxes payable. Accounts receivable at
December 31, 1999 were $73,897 or $23,670 higher than those at June 30, 1999.
This increase was primarily attributable to increased product sales. The
significant increase in inventory and accounts payable was almost entirely
related to an increase in Tamoxifen purchases. Higher Tamoxifen inventories
resulted from higher purchases in anticipation of increased usage due to
Tamoxifen's approval for the reduction in the incidence of breast cancer in
women at high risk for developing the disease. Income taxes payable increased
due to the timing of estimated tax payments.

During the first six months of fiscal 2000, the Company invested approximately
$7 million in capital expenditures primarily related to the construction of its
new 48,000 square foot warehouse and 13,500 square foot laboratory facility at
its Pomona, New York campus. The Company expects to invest an additional $5 to
$8 million in capital assets in fiscal 2000.

To expand its growth opportunities, the Company has and will continue to
evaluate and enter into various strategic collaborations (See Note 7 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The timing and amount of cash required to
enter into these collaborations is difficult to predict because it is dependent
on several factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control. However,
the Company believes, that based on arrangements in place at December 31, 1999,
it could spend between $2 and $4 million over the next twelve months for these
collaborations. The $2 to $4 million excludes any cash needed to fund strategic
acquisitions the Company may consider in the future.

As part of the Company's Year 2000 planning, the Company temporarily increased
its Revolving Credit Facility by $10,000 through June 30, 2000. In addition, the
Company extended the term of the Revolving Credit Facility from June 30, 2000 to
December 31, 2001. The Company believes that its

                                       12
<PAGE>   13
current cash balances, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity,
including unused amounts under its existing Revolving Credit Facility, will be
adequate to meet its needs and to take advantage of strategic opportunities as
they occur. To the extent that additional capital resources are required, such
capital may be raised by additional bank borrowings, equity offerings or other
means.

Outlook

The Company's product sales are dependent upon several factors including the
timing of new product launches, increases or decreases in market share, changes
in prices and customer buying patterns. As a result, forecasting product sales
from period to period is difficult. However, product revenues are expected to
increase next quarter due to expected increases in Tamoxifen sales.
Historically, Tamoxifen sales have fluctuated significantly among the Company's
quarters. These fluctuations are based on several factors including the buying
patterns of several large customers. The buying patterns have been influenced by
the anticipated timing of price increases. Tamoxifen's last price increase
occurred in May 1999, however, because Barr distributes Tamoxifen, the timing
and extent of any price increases in the current year is unknown and is
determined by the innovator. The Company believes that such quarterly
fluctuations in Tamoxifen sales could occur during the remainder of fiscal 2000
and believes that overall Tamoxifen usage will increase compared to last year
due to Tamoxifen's approval, in October 1998, for the reduction in the incidence
of breast cancer in women at high risk for developing the disease.

The Company's profit margins on product sales are impacted by numerous factors
such as product pricing, product sales mix, including the percentage of
Tamoxifen sales to total product sales, and manufacturing efficiencies. Overall
margins declined in the second quarter compared to the first quarter primarily
due to Tamoxifen's increased percentage of total sales. Overall margins in the
third quarter are expected to be lower than in the second quarter due to the
expected increase in Tamoxifen sales described above.

In September, the Company publicly disclosed that it expected its investments in
research and development to be between $40 and $45 million during fiscal 2000.
The Company continues to believe that its research and development spending will
reach these levels. The strategic alliance with DuPont, as outlined in the
letter of intent signed on January 19, 2000, provides for DuPont to fund up to
$45 million for certain of the Company's proprietary products. Upon finalization
of these agreements, such funding could offset a portion of the Company's
expected research and development expenses. While the Company expects to
finalize the agreements described in the letter of intent, there is no assurance
that such agreements will be successfully completed or that the research and
development funding will be provided.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were
consistent with first quarter amounts. While the strategic alliance with DuPont,
if finalized, is expected to lower legal costs related to the DuPont litigation,
such reduction is not expected to be realized until the fourth quarter. In the
third quarter, the Company expects higher headcount costs and higher sales and
marketing costs. Higher sales and marketing costs are expected primarily due to
the timing of various trade shows. As a result, selling, general and
administrative costs are expected to be higher in the third quarter before
declining in the fourth quarter. In addition, the Company expects to incur
certain one-time charges associated with finalizing its strategic alliance with
DuPont. In connection with finalizing the DuPont alliance, the Company will
issue two warrants, each granting DuPont the right to purchase 500,000 shares of
the Barr's common stock. Each warrant has a four-year term. The weighted average
strike price of the two warrants represented a 34% premium to Barr's closing
stock price on January 19, 2000. The Company expects the issuance of such
warrants to result in a one-time, non-cash charge equal to the fair value of the
warrants on the date of grant. That value, calculated using the Black-

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
Scholes pricing model, could be $10 to $15 million, though the actual value will
depend on several factors including the price of Barr's common stock on the day
the warrants are issued.

The effective income tax rate is expected to remain at approximately 37.5% for
the balance of the fiscal year.

Year 2000

The Company has completed implementation of its year 2000 remediation plan on a
timely basis and such remediation plan as implemented addresses all mission
critical systems. The Company is not aware of any adverse effects of year 2000
issues on the Company, including its systems and operations. The Company has no
information that indicates that a significant vendor may be unable to sell to
the Company; a significant customer may be unable to purchase from the Company;
or a significant service provider may be unable to provide services to the
Company, because of year 2000 compliance problems.

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

                  DuPont Anti-Trust Suit

                  As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, on
                  March 9, 1998, the Company filed an anti-trust suit against
                  DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company ("DuPont") in the United
                  States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
                  charging that DuPont has acted unlawfully to impede the
                  marketplace acceptance of Barr's generic version of the
                  anti-coagulant Coumadin. The Company's suit charges that
                  DuPont's actions violated federal anti-trust laws, as well as
                  the Lanham Act and the New York Deceptive Practices Act. On
                  January 19, 2000, the Company signed a letter of intent to
                  establish a strategic relationship with DuPont Pharmaceuticals
                  Company to develop, market and promote five different
                  proprietary products and, upon finalization of the agreements,
                  to terminate all litigation between the two companies. The
                  Company filed Form 8-K on January 21, 2000.

ITEM 4.           SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
