                       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of 
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial 
position of the Company as of June 30, 1994 and the consolidated results of 
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and the
statements of cash flows for the six months then ended.  The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal 
year ended December 31, 1993.  The results of operations for the three and 
six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the full year.  Certain 1993 amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  

2.  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities as 
of January 1, 1994, and at June 30, 1994, the Company's  investment 
securities have been classified as "available-for-sale," with an unrealized 
holding gain included as a separate component of shareholders' equity in the 
amount of $2,156,421.  If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 115 at December
31, 1993, the unrealized holding gain in shareholders' equity would have 
been approximately $12,200,000 at that date.

  The Company sold shares of its investment in Marsam common stock during 
the six month period ended June 30, 1994, and recorded a gain of $1,163,323. 
At June 30, 1994, the Company owned 544,655 shares of Marsam common stock 
with a market value of $5,991,205, included in marketable securities. 

3. Components of inventories are summarized as follows:

                            June 30,    December 31,
                              1994         1993

                           $1,387,080    $1,820,883         
 
4. The Company has recognized income from Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 
of $10,660,311 and $11,263,685 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1994 
and 1993, respectively.  In addition, the Company has recognized income from 
American Triumvirate Insurance Company of $381,012 and $426,878 for the six 
month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

effective on September 1, 1993.

5.     As of June 30, 1994, the Company had commitments to third parties of 
    approximately $3,600,000, for research and development projects to be 
    expended over the next three years.

6.     Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of 
    common shares and equivalents outstanding for each period.  The effect of 
    stock options was less than 3% of the weighted average shares outstanding 
    in 1994, was antidilutive in 1993, and accordingly, was not included in 
    earnings per share.

7.     At June 30, 1994, the Company was not required to provide for federal or 
    state income taxes as pretax income included income which is excluded income
    for tax purposes, with the remaining taxable income offset by the Company's 
    net operating loss carryforward.  At June 30, 1994, the Company's net 
    operating loss carryforward, for federal income tax purposes, was 
    approximately $78,000,000, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in
    the year 2006.

8.     On March 22, 1994, the Company announced a proposed acquisition with 
    Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc. (Hi-Tech), a pharmaceutical firm located on 
    Long Island, in a transaction intended to be accounted for as a 
    "pooling of interests".  The acquisition was subject to the execution of a 
    definitive agreement, satisfactory completion of due diligence and approval 
    by each company's shareholders.  On May 5, 1994, Circa announced that the 
    companies were unable to agree on certain terms and conditions and that 
    discussions regarding the acquisition were terminated.  Included in other 
    expenses, net in the 1994 statements of operations are the costs of the 
    terminated acquisition.

9.      On June 16, 1994, Larry Raisfeld voluntarily resigned as Officer and 
     Director of the Company.

10.        On July 8, 1994, the Company announced a preliminary
      settlement of civil antitrust claims brought against it in a class
      action pending in the U.S. District Court in Maryland with respect
      to the sale of generic Dyazide.  Under the settlement agreement,
      the Company will pay $1.35 million into a settlement fund for the
      benefit of class plaintiffs, and will issue $2.5 million of coupons
      permitting the class of former customers to purchase products from
      the Company at a predetermined discount from market prices.  At
      December 31, 1993, the Company provided for the estimated cost of
      outstanding litigation which included the cost of this proposed
      settlement.


         In the case entitled Cliff Westfall, et al. v. Circa Pharmaceuticals, 
      Inc., et al. pending in the Circuit Court for the County of Oakland, 
      State of Michigan, the plaintiffs' motion for class certification was 
      denied.

         Based upon the information it presently possesses, the Company 
     believes that the outcome of all  pending litigation will not a material 
     adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

11.     On July 11, 1994, the Company and Andrx Corporation (Andrx) announced
     the signing of an agreement to jointly develop, manufacture and 
     market at least six controlled release generic pharmaceutical products.
     The Company also acquired an equity interest in Andrx by payment of 
     $6 million.  The Company may acquire further equity interest in Andrx 
     by exercising certain warrants.  The joint venture, which will develop 
     generic pharmaceuticals for world-wide markets utilizing Andrx's 
     controlled release technology, will address products that have current 
     sales in excess of $1 billion.

Results of Operations

Three Month Period Ended June 30, 1994

   The Company reported net income of $2,309,000 for the three month period 
ended June 30, 1994, compared to a net loss of $1,194,000 for the same 
period in 1993.  The primary reason for the increase in net income in the 
1994 period was the absence of a $2,460,000 loss recognized from the 
partnership with Rhone-Poulenc Rorer (RPR) and a $848,000 legal settlement, 
both incurred during the second quarter of 1993.  Income in 1994 was 
primarily attributable to $5,331,000 of income from Somerset Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (Somerset), a 50% owned joint venture.

  Net sales were $961,000 during the second quarter of 1994, compared to 
$746,000 for the same period in 1993. Cost of goods sold as a percentage 
of net sales decreased from 83% in 1993 to 64% in the 1994.  The increase in
sales and gross profit from 1993 to 1994 was primarily due to royalty income,
which began January 1, 1994, for the sale of Dilacor XR, which is being 
marketed by RPR.

    Research and development expenses were $1,622,000 in 1994, compared
to $1,070,000 in 1993, representing an increase of $552,000 or 52%. The 
primary reason for the increase was the Company's expansion its research and 
development program following the rehabilitation by the FDA in April 1993.
The Company is committed to expanding its research and development program 
through both internal efforts and joint venture arrangements with other 
companies. Manufacturing overhead was $973,000 in 1994, compared to $788,000 
in 1993, representing an increase of $185,000 or 23%.  These costs are 
expected to be absorbed by the manufacturing process as new products are
introduced into the system through product approvals obtained from the 
Company's internal research and development programs, as well as increased 
activity in contract manufacturing and joint venture projects with other 
companies.  Selling and administrative expenses were $1,492,000 in 1994, 
compared to $3,704,000 in 1993, representing a decrease of $2,212,000 or 60%. 
The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in legal expenses as
a significant portion of pending litigation was resolved in 1993.  

   Ivestment income was $1,041,000 in 1994 as compared to $1,849,000 in 1993,
representing a decrease of $808,000 or 44%.  In the second quarter of 1994, 
the Company recognized a gain of $208,000 on the sale of shares of Marsam 
common stock as compared to $1,135,000 in the 1993 period.

   Other expenses, net were $502,000 in 1994, as compared to $191,000 in 
1993, representing an increase of $311,000.  The increase is primarily 
attributable to the cost of the terminated discussions related to the 
proposed acquisition of Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc.

At June 30, 1994, the Company was not required to provide for federal or 
state income taxes as pretax income included income which is excluded for 
tax purposes, with the remaining taxable income offset by the Company's net 
operating loss carryforward.  At June 30, 1994, the Company's net operating 
loss carryforward, for federal income tax purposes, was approximately 
$78,000,000, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in the year 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Working capital increased from $34,800,000 at December 31, 1993 to
   $42,500,000 at June 30, 1994. The increase of $7,700,000 was primarily 
   attributable to $9,000,000 of dividends received from Somerset and 
   $2,100,000 of unrealized holding gain included in shareholders' equity, 
   resulting from the Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting 
   Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
   Equity Securities. In addition, the Company received $1,200,000 from the 
   sales of Marsam common stock and $400,000 from other marketable securities. 
   These increases were offset by working capital used for operating 
   activities.

       At June 30, 1994, the Company had commitments of approximately
   $3,600,000 to third parties for research and development, which will be 
   expended over the next three years and be funded through current working 
   capital.  The Company does not anticipate significant capital 
   expenditures relating to its facilities. Primary sources of working 
   capital for 1994 will continue to be dividends received from Somerset, 
   proceeds from sales of marketable securities and income earned on other 
   marketable securities.  The Company anticipates that its existing capital
   resources are sufficient to meet its requirements based on its current 
   business plans.
