Chilcott, plc (the "Registrant") previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 28, 2000, to update Item 2 to report the
adjustment of the price paid to acquire three branded pharmaceutical products
from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Estrace(R) cream, Ovcon(R) 35 and Ovcon(R) 50
(the "Acquired Products"), and to file the financial statements and pro forma

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         As previously reported, as of February 15, 2000, Warner Chilcott, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, acquired three branded
pharmaceutical products from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated January 26, 2000. The initial purchase price of $180.0
million was financed through an offering of $200.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 12 5/8% senior notes issued by Warner Chilcott, Inc. under Rule 144A
of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and guaranteed by the Registrant. The
purchase price for the Acquired Products was subject to adjustment based upon
estimates of the amount of inventory of the Acquired Products held by
wholesalers and distributors as of January 31, 2000. Under terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Acquired Products was reduced by
$4.9 million dollars and on April 13, 2000 Warner Chilcott, Inc. received

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company:


We have audited the accompanying historical statements of net sales and product
contribution for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, of the Ovcon
and Estrace Cream product lines (the Products) of Apothecon, a subsidiary of
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. These historical statements are the responsibility
of Apothecon's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these historical statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with United States generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the historical statements of net
sales and product contribution are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in these historical statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the historical statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in note 2, the accompanying historical statements of net sales and
product contribution attributable to the Products are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Ovcon and Estrace Cream product lines' financial
position or results of operations.

In our opinion, the historical statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net sales and product contribution of the Products as
described in note 2 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

    Notes to the Historical Statements of Net Sales and Product Contribution

                        December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997

                                 (In Thousands)


(1)    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

       Ovcon and Estrace Cream (the Products) were manufactured and marketed by
       Apothecon, a subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS). Ovcon is
       an oral contraceptive and is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy.
       Estrace Cream is a hormone replacement vaginal cream. The Products are
       sold primarily through distributors in the United States. The Products
       were acquired by Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company (WC) on February
       15, 2000.


 (2)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying historical statements present the combined net sales and
       product contribution of the Products. These historical statements include
       all the adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the net sales
       and product contribution of the Products. These historical statements set
       forth the net sales and operational expenses attributable to the Products
       and do not purport to represent all of the costs, expenses and resultant
       operating earnings or complete financial statements associated with a
       stand alone, separate entity.

       The statements of net sales and product contribution include amounts
       attributable to the manufacture, distribution, marketing and promotion of
       the Products. Net sales include gross sales less product specific sales
       returns, cash discounts, government rebates, and certain other customer
       discounts.

       Inventories are valued at average cost, not in excess of market value.

       In January 1999, BMS entered into a co-promotion agreement with WC to
       expand promotion of the Products to physicians. Costs associated with
       this agreement were $716 in 1999 and are classified in marketing expense.

                 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information of
Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company ("Warner Chilcott") is based on the
historical consolidated financial statements of Warner Chilcott, adjusted to
give pro forma effect to the following, which we collectively refer to as the
"transactions": (1) the acquisition of the three branded pharmaceutical products
from Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS") for $175.1 million, (2) the issuance of $200.0
million face amount of 12 5/8% senior notes at a discount of $3.7 million to
yield 13.0% (the "Notes"), (3) the repayment of amounts outstanding under our
prior working capital facility, (4) the redemption of our remaining senior
subordinated discount notes due 2001, and (5) the closing of a new senior credit
facility.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1999 gives effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on December 31,
1999. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1999 gives effect to the transactions as if they had occurred
on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available
information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not
purport to represent what Warner Chilcott's results of operations or financial
condition would actually have been had the transactions occurred on such dates,
nor do they purport to project Warner Chilcott's results of operations or
financial condition for any future period or date. The information set forth
below should be read together with the special purpose financial statements of
net sales and product contribution of the three branded pharmaceutical products
which we acquired from BMS included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A and Warner
Chilcott's consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K with the SEC.

         The acquisition of the branded pharmaceutical products from BMS was
accounted for as a purchase. Under purchase accounting, the total purchase price
is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their
respective fair values as of the purchase date in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 16. The allocation of the purchase price for the
branded pharmaceutical products from BMS resulted in an allocation of $168.0
million to the products and $7.1 million to goodwill as there were no tangible
assets acquired. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
statements are based on this allocation.

                     WARNER CHILCOTT PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on the
historical financial statements of Warner Chilcott Public Limited Company
(''Warner Chilcott''), adjusted to give pro forma effect to the acquisition of
the three branded pharmaceutical products from Bristol-Myers Squibb (''BMS''),
issuance of the Notes, the repayment of amounts outstanding under our prior
working capital facility, the redemption of our remaining outstanding senior
subordinated discount notes due 2001 and the closing of a new senior credit
facility.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999 gives effect to the above as if they had occurred on January
1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth below are based upon
available information and assumptions that Warner Chilcott believes are
reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
statement of operations does not purport to project Warner Chilcott's operating
results of operations for any future period. The statement of operations does
not include the impact of any non-recurring charges related to the transactions,
including those described in note (5) of the notes to the unaudited pro forma
consolidated balance sheet. The information set forth below should be read
together with Warner Chilcott's consolidated financial statements and related
notes and the special purpose historical statements of net sales and product
contribution of the branded pharmaceutical products which were acquired from
BMS.

(1)    Represents the historical results of the three branded pharmaceutical
       products acquired from BMS. See the special purpose historical statements
       of net sales and product contribution and the related notes.

(2)    Adjustments to reduce cost of goods sold as reported by BMS in the
       special purpose historical statements of net sales and product
       contribution under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to
       amounts that Warner Chilcott would have paid for product purchases under
       the 10 year supply agreement with BMS. The method of determining Warner
       Chilcott's cost of product under the supply agreement excludes certain
       indirect costs that were captured by BMS in cost of goods sold under
       generally accepted accounting principles. Warner Chilcott's cost of goods
       sold under generally accepted accounting principles will be a function of
       its cost of product purchases from BMS under the supply agreement.

(3)    During the year ended December 31, 1999, BMS did not use either its sales
       force or a contract sales organization (other than Warner Chilcott) to
       promote Estrace(R) cream or the Ovcon(R) products. Accordingly, no
       amounts for field selling expenses were included in the special purpose
       historical statements of net sales and profit contribution during those
       periods. During the period from March 1999 to December 1999, Warner
       Chilcott promoted two of the three acquired products, Estrace(R)
       cream and Ovcon(R) 35, under a promotion agreement with BMS. Warner
       Chilcott's cost of promoting the products under the agreement were
       limited to the allocation of a portion of its sales force's capacity. All
       other expenses, including the costs of distribution, administration,
       samples and other promotional material and activities, were borne by BMS
       and are captured in selling, general and administrative expense in the
       special purpose statements of profit contribution. For the year ended
       December 31,1999 Warner Chilcott did not recognize any marketing alliance
       revenue related to its promotion of Estrace(R) cream and Ovcon(R)35.

       The amounts reported by BMS under selling, general and administrative
       expense in the special purpose historical statements of net sales and
       product contribution include actual amounts spent on promotional
       activities and allocations for marketing, distribution and freight
       costs,including, in 1999 certain costs incurred under the Warner Chilcott
       co-promotion agreement. Warner Chilcott has determined that its costs to
       perform each of these functions would have approximated those reported by
       BMS. Accordingly, no adjustment was made to increase or decrease selling,
       general and administrative expense to compute the pro forma amounts.

(4)    Represents the amortization of the intangible assets associated with the
       three branded products. Our allocation of the $175.1 million purchase
       price for the three branded products is as follows: $168.0 million to the
       products (trade names, regulatory files, general know-how) and $7.1
       million to goodwill, both to be amortized over 20 years.

(7)    No adjustment has been made to recognize income tax expense in preparing
       the pro forma statements. As of December 31, 1999, Warner Chilcott had
       net operating loss carryforwards of $62.0 million for U.S. federal income
       tax purposes and $40.0 million for state income tax purposes. The pro
       forma financial statements assume that the pre-tax pro forma income would
       be offset by the utilization of these tax losses. A description of the

       carryforwards is provided below:

      Once Warner Chilcott's net operating loss carryforwards are fully
      utilized for financial reporting purposes, we will be required to
      recognize income tax expense at our then current effective tax rate. Due
      to IRS rules, the tax deductibility of some interest expense on the Notes
      may be deferred.
