ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

          Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. (the "Company" or "PFI"), a Delaware
corporation, is primarily engaged in the manufacture and distribution of over
100 nonprescription ("over-the-counter" or "OTC") solid dosage pharmaceutical
products in tablet, caplet and capsule form (collectively, "Generic OTC
Products"), which are sold under its customers' store brands or other private
labels. These private-label products account for a large portion of the
Company's revenues. The Company also manufactures products for national brand
pharmaceutical companies, although sales of such products represent less than
10% of the Company's sales. To a limited extent, the Company also sells Generic
OTC Products under its own trade name, Health+Cross(tm), which sales account for
less than 1% of the Company's total revenues. The Company believes that the
therapeutic benefits of its Generic OTC Products are comparable to those of
equivalent national brand name products because the chemical compositions of the
active ingredients of the brand name products on which the Company's products
are patterned are identical to those of the Company's products. The Company is
subject to regulation by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The
Company also engages in a research and development program which seeks to
develop and gain regulatory approval of products which are comparable to
national brand products which have switched from prescription to OTC drug
status. The Company's largest customers include Revco D.S. Inc. ("Revco"),
Walgreen Company ("Walgreen") and Price-Costco, Inc. ("Price-Costco"). Prior to
June 30, 1995, the Company operated through its then-wholly- owned subsidiary,
Private Formulations, Inc., an Ohio corporation. Such subsidiary was merged into
PFI on June 30, 1995.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS WITH ICC
   
          In September 1991, the Company entered into an agreement with ICC
Industries Inc. ("ICC") pursuant to which ICC was granted a series of options
and related preemptive rights to acquire a total of approximately 66% of the
shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding (as subsequently amended, the
"ICC Option Agreement"). ICC is a major international manufacturer and marketer
of chemical, plastic and pharmaceutical products which had 1995 sales in excess
of $1 billion. ICC and its subsidiaries have offices in key business centers
around the world and own numerous manufacturing plants. ICC has exercised all of
its options and certain of the related preemptive rights and currently owns an
aggregate of 19,635,894 shares of Common Stock, representing 66.5% of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock. In fiscal 1996, the Company sold 2,500,000
shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to ICC.
Such shares of preferred stock are convertible into common stock at the election
of the holder after 36 months from issuance. In addition, the Company purchases
certain raw materials from ICC and leases equipment from ICC, or its affiliates.
See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
    

PRODUCTS

         GENERIC OTC PRODUCTS

          Currently, the Company markets more than 100 different types of
Generic OTC Products (including different dosage strengths of the same chemical
composition). These include analgesics (such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen),
antacids, cough-cold preparations, sinus/allergy and laxatives. In each of the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, sales of ibuprofen accounted
for 41%, 41%, and 46% respectively, of the Company's total revenues, and sales
of acetaminophen products accounted for 11%, 11% and 12% respectively, of the
Company's total revenues. "Generic" pharmaceutical products are drugs which are
sold under chemical names rather than brand names and possess chemical
compositions (and the Company believes, therapeutic benefits), equivalent to the
brand name drugs on which they are patterned. OTC drugs are drugs which can be
obtained without a physician's prescription. Generic drug products are subject
to the same governmental standards for safety and efficacy (effectiveness) as
their brand name equivalents and are typically sold at prices substantially
below the brand name drug. The Company manufactures Generic OTC Products which
it believes are chemically and therapeutically equivalent to such brand name
products as Anacin(R), Tylenol(R), Bufferin(R), Ecotrin(R), Motrin(R), Advil(R),
Excedrin(R), Sominex(R), Maalox(R), Sudafed(R), Comtrex(R), Sinutab(R),
Dristan(R), Dimetapp(R), Dexatrim(R), Dramamine(R), Actifed(R), Benadryl(R),
Allerest(R), and Metamucil(R), among others.

1  Such brand names are registered marks of companies unrelated to PFI.

SOLUBLE ASPIRIN

          In 1983, the Company acquired the exclusive manufacturing and
marketing rights in the United States and Canada to an oral stabilized soluble
sodium aspirin ("Soluble Aspirin") patent in powder form and in 1985, acquired
the worldwide rights thereto (with the exception of South America). In 1987, the
Company obtained a patent for the Soluble Aspirin in tablet form. In addition,
the Company owns certain foreign Soluble Aspirin patents. The Company is not
currently engaged in development or marketing activities with respect to this
product.

PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT

   
          In October 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with Farmacon,
Inc. ("Farmacon"), the owner of certain proprietary information and technology
relating to Sucralfate tablets used for the treatment of ulcers, pursuant to
which Farmacon and the Company agreed to develop sucralfate tablets. The
contract grants the Company certain exclusive manufacturing, marketing and
distribution rights with respect to such product in both the ethical and OTC
markets. The agreement (which expires ten years after approval by the FDA of
distribution of the product subject to certain rights to extend the agreement)
provides that the cost of all clinical studies and the cost of obtaining
regulatory approval will be borne by Farmacon, while the costs of raw materials
and components used to produce clinical batches and to produce the product after
regulatory approval will be borne by the Company. The Company has agreed,
however, to contribute up to $600,000 (of which $400,000 was contributed through
the fiscal year 1996) to the development and approval process based on certain
benchmarks as defined in the agreement. The parties further agreed that any
"product profit" (as defined in the agreement) will be distributed 75% to
Farmacon and 25% to the Company. Currently, the parties anticipate the receipt
of regulatory approval with respect to the sale of such product in calendar
1997, but there is no assurance that governmental approval of such product will
be granted at such time or at all.

          The Company, in connection with ICC, is developing the OTC version of
Cimetidine, an anti-ulcer drug. The Company expects to file an ANDA with the FDA
by December 1996. If an ANDA is approved, sales could not be made before July 1,
1998, when the marketing exclusivity on the brand name equivalent expires.

          The Company has filed an ANDA with the FDA for Naproxen Sodium, an
analgesic. The Company is awaiting approval for the product from the FDA. If an
ANDA is approved, sales could not be made before January 11, 1997, when the
marketing exclusivity on the brand name drug expires.

          There are no other products in development at this time for which the
Company has expended material amounts. Whether or not material amounts will be
spent in the future with respect to these or other products depends upon many
factors, including market conditions.
    

MANUFACTURING

          In order to manufacture Generic OTC Products, the Company acquires raw
materials from suppliers located in the United States and abroad, including ICC,
an affiliate of the Company. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, the
Company purchased from ICC $795,000 of raw materials.

          To date, the Company has obtained the raw materials it needs and
expects that such raw materials will continue to be readily available in the
future. Raw materials delivered to the Company are first placed in quarantine so
that samples of each lot can be assayed for purity and potency by a team of
trained chemists and technicians employed by the Company. Incoming materials are
tested to assure that they are free of objectionable microorganisms and that
they meet chemical and physical testing requirements. Throughout the
manufacturing process, samples are taken by quality assurance inspectors for
quality control testing. The raw materials must meet standards established by
the United States Pharmacopoeia, the National Formulary and the FDA, as well as
by the Company and its customers.

          To produce capsules and tablets, the Company utilizes specialized
equipment which compresses tablets and fills powder and granules into hard
gelatin capsules. At this stage, certain tablets are film or sugar coated to
achieve an aesthetically appealing tablet. The customer chooses whether its
order of Generic OTC Products will be delivered in bulk containers or in
packages. Typically, the Company assists its customers in developing the size,
design and graphics of the folding carton, label and container for the products.
The package can be automatically placed into shipping containers of the
customer's selection.

          Since January 1992, the Company has entered into various subleases of
equipment and leasehold improvements from companies affiliated with ICC, for
which the Company pays such affiliates fixed monthly fees. Such leases have
various terms, expiring at different times between 1997 and 2001. Upon
expiration of the term of each lease, the Company is entitled to purchase the
equipment for a price of $1.00.

          In response to drug tampering problems affecting the industry
generally, the Company has instituted certain tamper-evident features in its
packaging operation. A tamper-evident package is one which readily reveals any
violation of the packaging or possible contamination of the product. These
include a foil inner-seal which is electronically sealed after the capping
operation and, for some customers, a neck band or outer safety seal applied to
the bottle and cap as an additional tamper-evident feature. In addition, the
Company manufactures a banded capsule which contains a heat-sealed band in the
center to deter ease of opening and/or closing the capsule product. Although the
Company takes steps to make its products tamper-resistant, it believes that no
product is "tamper-proof." There can be no assurance that the Company's products
will not be tampered with. Any such tampering, even if it occurs in the retail
outlets, may have a material adverse effect on the Company. See AInsurance.@

CUSTOMERS

          The Company's customers consist of retailers, wholesalers,
distributors, and brand-name pharmaceutical companies. Sales to retail drug and
supermarket chains and mass merchandisers accounted for approximately 85%, 80%
and 66%, of the Company's sales for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Bulk sales to wholesalers and distributors accounted for approximately 13%, 14%
and 25%, of the Company's sales during fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994. Sales
to brand-name pharmaceutical companies accounted for approximately 2%, 6%, and
9% in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 respectively. All of these sales consisted of
products which the Company's customers sell under their own store brand or other
labels.

          Sales to Revco, one of the Company's largest customers, accounted for
$11,078,000 (20%), $14,536,000 (25%) and $8,756,000 (16%) of the Company's net
sales for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Sales to Walgreen were
$7,609,000 (14%), $8,373,000 (14%) and $8,684,000 (16%) for fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. Sales to ICC were $9,267,000 (17%) for 1994. Sales to
Price-Costco were $6,508,000 (12%), $6,892,000 (12%) and $4,488,000 (8%) in
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

   
          The amounts of backlog orders at the end of fiscal 1996 and 1995 were
not significant.
    

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

          The Company has 11 employees in sales and customer service. This staff
and 25 independent brokers sell the OTC pharmaceutical products and the
marketing services of the Company to current and potential customers.

          The Company has 8 employees in marketing and graphic design who work
with customers to develop and execute customized marketing programs directed at
selling consumers on the therapeutic benefits of the OTC pharmaceutical store
brands products.

   
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

          The Company maintains a staff of five employees in its product
development department, as well as other support staff to assist its customers.
The Company's research and development activities are primarily related to the
determination of the formula and specifications of the product desired by a
customer, as well as the potency, dosage, flavor, quality, efficacy, color,
hardness, form (i.e. tablet, caplet or capsule) and its packaging, as well as
costs related to new products in development including costs associated with
regulatory approvals. The Company's research and development expenditures in
fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $790,000, $1,488,000 and $574,000, respectively.
The rate of R&D expenditures fluctuates significantly from year to year
depending primarily on what generic products are coming off patent in the near
future and whether or not such products are appropriate for development by the
Company. The increase of $914,000 in R&D expenditures between 1994 and 1995 was
due to the development of new products to fund future sales growth, including
significant expenditures on Sulcralfate. The decrease of $698,000 between 1995
and 1996 was due to the fact that research projects were not being performed at
the same rate as in the prior fiscal year. Expenditures in one year are not
necessarily indicative of expenditures in future years.

          See "Products - Products in Development" above for a discussion of
research and products-development activities related to new products.

NEW JERSEY INDUSTRIAL SITE RECOVERY ACT

          In 1986, Revco commenced a soil and groundwater cleanup of the
Company's facility, under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act ("ISRA")
in connection with Revco's sale of all of its shares of stock in Private
Formulations, Inc. to the Company. Prior to completing the sale, Revco entered
into an Administrative Consent Order ("ACO") with the New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection ("NJDEP"). The ACO named Revco as the primary party to
evaluate and remediate environmental contamination at the facility.
Environmental testing by Revco revealed soil and groundwater contamination,
primarily by methylene chloride. Revco posted a financial assurance bond in the
amount of $1,000,000 to secure its cleanup obligations under ISRA and the ACO.
The terms of the Revco sale to the Company in 1987 included an agreement in
which Revco agreed to assume all costs which were attributable to environmental
cleanups relating to conditions at the facility existing as of the closing of
the sale, necessary to comply with ISRA and the ACO. In August 1989, the Company
entered into an ACO with the NJDEP in connection with the Company's sale and
lease-back of the facility. In 1990, NJDEP determined that the soil remediation
was complete. In September 1992, the 1989 ACO was amended to include the
exercise by ICC of options to purchase a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Company's Common Stock. The Company was not required to post a financial
assurance bond under the 1989 ACO or the 1992 ACO amendment. In May 1993, NJDEP
approved the Revco groundwater remediation plan, subject to certain conditions,
and the financial assurance bond has been reduced from $1,000,000 to $306,000 as
specified in the cleanup plan. Revco began operating a groundwater remediation
treatment system in 1995.
    
          In July 1993, the Company received notification that the NJDEP has
determined that all areas of environmental concern arising from and after
September 1991 have been satisfactorily addressed and require no further action
on behalf of the Company. NJDEP issued a "No Further Action" letter in September
1993. This letter, however, related only to the period since September 1991 and
specifically does not apply to the matters being addressed by the ACOs with
Revco and the Company for periods prior to September 1991.

   
          Although Revco is primarily responsible for the entire cost of the
cleanup, the Company guaranteed the cleanup under the terms of the 1989 ACO and
the 1992 ACO amendment. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the owner
of the facility under the terms of the 1989 sale lease-back. If Revco defaults
in its obligations to pay the cost of the clean-up, and such costs exceed the
amount of the bond posted by Revco, the Company may be required to make payment
therefor. The likelihood of Revco being unable to satisfy any claims which may
be made against it in connection with the facility, however, are remote.
Accordingly, the Company believes that it will not have to bear any costs
associated with remediation of the facility and it will not need to make any
material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.


GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION

          Pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive regulation by the
Federal government, primarily by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), under
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substance Act and other
federal statutes and regulations. These regulations govern or influence the
testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval,
pricing, advertising and promotion of the Company's drug products. Failure to
comply with FDA and other governmental requirements can result in a variety of
adverse regulatory actions, including but not limited to the seizure of company
products, demand for a product recall, total or partial suspension of
manufacturing/production, refusal by FDA to approve new products, and withdrawal
of existing product approvals.

          The FDA requires all pharmaceutical products to be proven safe and
effective before they may be commercially distributed in the United States. In
order to prove the safety and efficiency of most pharmaceutical products,
pharmaceutical companies are often required to conduct extensive preclinical
(animal) and clinical (human) testing. Such testing is extensively regulated by
the FDA.

          Most prescription drug products obtain FDA marketing approval via
either the "new drug application" ("NDA") process or the "abbreviated new drug
application" ("ANDA") process. An NDA is submitted to FDA in order to prove that
a drug product is safe and effective. NDAs typically contain data developed from
extensive clinical studies. The filing of an NDA with the FDA provides no
assurance that the FDA will approve the applicable drug product for marketing.

          Some drug products (generic drug products) are capable of being
approved for marketing by FDA via the ANDA process. An ANDA is submitted to FDA
in order to demonstrate that a drug product is "bioequivalent" to a drug product
that has already been approved by FDA for safety and effectiveness (i.e. an
"innovator" drug product). Unlike an NDA, an ANDA is not required to contain
evidence of safety and effectiveness. Rather, ANDAs for orally administered
dosage forms typically contain "bioavailability" studies to demonstrate
"bio-equivalence." Other dosage forms such as parenterals and topicals may have
difference requirements. As with NDAs, the filing of an ANDA with the FDA
provides no assurance that the FDA will approve the applicable drug product for
marketing.

          The current regulatory framework that governs generic drug approvals
via the ANDA process was enacted in 1984 and is commonly known as the
"Waxman-Hatch Act." Under the Waxman-Hatch Act, companies are permitted to
conduct studies required for regulatory approval notwithstanding the existence
of patent protection relevant to the substance or product under investigation.
Thus, "bioavailability" studies for a generic drug product may be conducted
regardless of whether the related "innovator" product has patent protection.

          A company generally may file an ANDA application with the FDA at any
point in time - with certain exceptions, however, such as when an "innovator"
drug product was granted five years of "marketing exclusivity" under the
Waxman-Hatch Act. In this case, the ANDA application may not be filed with FDA
until the five years of "marketing exclusivity" have expired. Such prohibition
on filing does not apply, however, if the period of marketing exclusivity is
three years.

          When an ANDA application is filed, the FDA may immediately review the
application regardless of whether the "innovator" product has patent protection
or is subject to "marketing exclusivity." The FDA's ANDA approval, however, is
conditional and does not become effective until the expiration of any applicable
patent or "marketing exclusivity" periods. After the expiration of these
periods, a generic product that has received conditional ANDA approval may be
marketed immediately.

          Some drug products that are intended for over-the-counter ("OTC")
marketing require NDA or ANDA approval. Most OTC drug products, however, may be
commercially distributed without obtaining FDA approval of an NDA or ANDA
application. The FDA established the OTC Drug Review in the early 1970's, which
led to the creation of OTC drug monographs that indicate whether certain drug
ingredients are safe and effective for specific intended uses. Final OTC drug
monographs have the force of law. Products that conform with the requirements of
a final OTC drug monograph do not require NDA or ANDA approval, whereas
nonconforming OTC products covered by a monograph must by approved via an NDA or
ANDA.

          Many OTC drug monographs have not yet been finalized. The FDA
generally permits the marketing of OTC drug products that conform to the
proposed requirements of a non- final monograph. The FDA also permits the
marketing of OTC products that do not conform to a non-final monograph subject
to certain limitations. Normally, such products may be marketed, pending the
effective date of the applicable final OTC drug monograph, if they are
substantially similar to OTC drug products that were marketed OTC in the United
States prior to December 4, 1975.

          If the final drug monographs require the Company to expend substantial
sums to maintain FDA compliance, the Company could be materially, adversely
affected. In the past, the Company's Generic OTC Products (with the exception of
ibuprofen) have not required approval of NDAs or ANDAs. Certain products under
development, however, require such approvals (see "Products - Products in
Development"). The FDA has approved ANDA's in 200 mg., 300 mg., 400 mg., 600 mg.
and 800 mg. dosage strengths for the Company's ibuprofen product (although, at
present, the Company sells its ibuprofen products in the 200 mg. strength only).
The Company has also obtained FDA approval of certain different colors and
shapes for its 200 mg. ibuprofen product.

          All drug products, whether prescription or OTC, are required to be
manufactured and processed in compliance with the FDA's "good manufacturing
practices" ("GMPs"). GMPs are "umbrella" regulations that prescribe, in general
terms, the methods to be used for the manufacture, packing, processing, and
storage of drug products to ensure that such products are safe and effective.
Examples of GMP regulatory requirements include record-keeping requirements and
mandatory testing of in-process materials and components. FDA inspectors
determine whether a company is in compliance with GMPs. Failure to comply with
GMPs may render a drug "adulterated" and could subject the company to adverse
regulatory actions.

          FDA regulates many other aspects of pharmaceutical product development
and marketing, including but not limited to product labeling and, for
prescription drug products, product advertising. The Federal Trade Commission is
the primary Federal agency responsible for regulating OTC drug product
advertising.

          In addition to Federal regulation, pharmaceutical companies are also
subject to state regulatory requirements - which may differ from one state to
another.

          The Company believes that it is currently in compliance with FDA
regulations. However, in anticipation of more stringent and extensive
requirements by FDA, the Company has undertaken a major renovation and upgrade
of its manufacturing plant. The Company believes that these improvements, which
were substantially completed in June 1996 at a cost of approximately $3,000,000,
will assure the Company's satisfaction of both present and future FDA
regulations and guidelines as well as facilitate the Company's ability to
produce state-of-the-art products for its customers.

    
          Federal and/or state legislation and regulations concerning various
aspects of the health care industry are under almost constant review and the
Company is unable to predict, at this time, the likelihood of passage of
additional legislation, nor can it predict the extent to which it may be
affected by legislative and regulatory developments concerning its products and
the health care field generally.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

          In 1987, the United States Patent Office granted Letters Patent to the
Company for Soluble Aspirin in tablet form. The United States patent for Soluble
Aspirin in tablet form expires in the year 2002. In addition, the Company owns
several Soluble Aspirin patents in Canada and certain other foreign countries.

          Allerfed(R), Leg Ease(R) and Health+Cross(R) are federally registered
trademarks owned by the Company. To the extent that the Company's packaging and
labeling of its Generic OTC Products may be considered similar to the brand name
products to which they are comparable, and to the extent that a court may
determine that such similarity may constitute confusion over the source of the
product, the Company may be subject to legal actions under state and Federal
statutes and case law to enjoin the use of the packaging and for damages.

INSURANCE

          The Company may be subject to product liability claims by persons
damaged by the use of its products. The Company maintains product liability
insurance for its Generic OTC Products covering up to $10,000,000 in liability.
Although there have been no material product liability claims made against the
Company to date, there can be no assurance that such coverage will adequately
cover any claims which may be made or that such insurance will not significantly
increase in cost or become unavailable in the future. The inability of the
Company to maintain necessary product liability insurance would significantly
restrict its ability to sell any products and could result in a cessation of its
business.

COMPETITION

          Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. The Company
competes not only with numerous manufacturers of generic OTC products, but also
with brand name drug manufacturers, most of which are well known to the public.
In addition, the Company's products compete with a wide range of products,
including well-known name brand products, almost all of which are manufactured
or distributed by major pharmaceutical companies. Many of the Company's
competitors, including all of the manufacturers and distributors of brand name
drugs, have greater financial and other resources than the Company, and are
therefore able to expend more effort than the Company in areas such as product
development and marketing. The crucial competitive factors are product quality,
reliable delivery, customer service, merchandising support and price. Although
the Company believes that its present equipment and facilities render its
operations competitive as to price and quality, many competitors may have far
greater management expertise and physical operations (in addition to financial
resources) than those of the Company, which may enable them to perform high
quality services at lower prices than the services performed by the Company.
Additionally, some of the Company's customers may acquire the same equipment and
technology used by the Company and perform for themselves the services which the
Company now performs for them.

EMPLOYEES

          As of August 1, 1996, the Company employed approximately 302 full-time
employees. Of such employees, 188 are engaged in manufacturing activities and
are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Company and Local
522 affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters of New Jersey
("Local 522"), which expires on October 24, 1998. Additionally, five of the
Company's employees are represented by Local 68 of the International Union of
Operating Engineers, affiliated with the AFL-CIO. As of August 1, 1996, the
Company had 19 persons employed in sales and marketing, 48 administrative and
operational employees and 42 laboratory technicians and scientists. The Company
believes that its relations with its employees are satisfactory.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          Rosenblum v. PFI. In or about October 1991, an action was instituted
in the Superior Court of New Jersey, County of Middlesex, against the Company by
an individual, Marvin Rosenblum, seeking $3,500,000 in damages and other relief
for claimed breach of an alleged employment agreement. The Company has
interposed counterclaims against plaintiff for fraud and related claims and
seeks damages in the amount of $5,000,000. As a result of plaintiff's poor
physical condition, in April 1994 he moved to transfer the matter to the
"inactive" trial list which motion has been granted. Accordingly, no further
action will be taken by either party with respect to the matter unless and until
plaintiff seeks to restore the matter to the active trial calendar.

          Univest v. PFI. In or about November 1992, an action was instituted
against the Company in the Supreme Court of New York, County of New York, by
Univest Technologies, alleging breach by the Company of an agreement to furnish
soluble aspirin. Plaintiff seeks consequential damages of $1,500,000 and other
relief. The Company has denies that any such agreement existed and that any
moneys are owed to plaintiff and moved to dismiss the complaint, which motion
was granted with leave to replead. Plaintiff served an amended complaint
thereafter and the Company again moved to dismiss the complaint. The court has
not yet ruled on the Company's second motion. If the complaint is not dismissed,
the Company intends to assert counterclaims against plaintiff for amounts in
excess of the amount sought, on the basis of, among other things, plaintiff's
fraud and misrepresentation.

          Puritan Quartz v. PFI. In or about July 1994, Puritan Quartz, Inc.
("Puritan") brought suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York, alleging breach of (i) a purported contractual
obligation to supply Puritan with acetaminophen and ibuprofen for resale to an
unrelated party and (ii) related confidentiality obligations. The complaint
seeks damages in the aggregate amount of $3,600,000 plus $300,000 for each
additional month of continuing breach. The Company's answer denies any liability
to Puritan noting that the agreement had a one-year term ending on October 16,
1993, prior to the events giving rise to the alleged breach, and that such
agreement was never extended. The Company's answer also disputes the aggregate
amount of Puritan's alleged lost profits. The case is currently in discovery and
the Company intends to move for summary judgment at the close of discovery.

          Gary Sherman Investments v. PFI. In March 1996, the Company was named
as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey by Gary Sherman Investments, Inc., formerly known as
Polystar Corporation ("GSI"). GSI alleged that it was owed $400,000 pursuant to
a promissory note allegedly executed in GSI's favor in or about March 1991, and
sought to recover the full face amount of the note plus accrued interest. The
Company's answer denied that such money was owed and the Company filed a
counterclaim alleging, inter alia, breaches of fiduciary duty and fraud by GSI.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1996

          At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $7,928,000
compared to $12,172,000 at June 30, 1995. The decrease of $4,244,000 is
primarily due to the net loss of $3,465,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1996. The decrease includes a reduction in inventory of $5,195,000 offset by an
increase in accounts receivable of $418,000 and an increase in cash of $629,000.
The decrease is a result of the lower sales as the Company reduced its inventory
levels to conserve cash to fund operations and reduce long-term debt. Accrued
expenses have increased due to the special compensation expense and other costs.

          The Company received $3,163,000 cash from operations in fiscal 1996.
Decreases in inventory of $5,195,000 and non-cash charges more than offset the
net loss incurred in 1996. These funds, along with proceeds from the issuance of
preferred stock of $2,500,000 and debt of $968,000 were used to purchase
property plant and equipment of $2,317,000 and pay debt of $3,783,000.

          Capital expenditures were $4,118,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996. The majority of this amount related to a major plant renovation which
improved efficiencies and increased laboratory capacity. The balance of the
capital expenditures were to improve manufacturing capacity and reduce costs.
The cost of the plant upgrade as well as other capital acquisitions was
partially financed through capital leases entered-into with ICC. The amount due
to ICC under capital lease obligations was $4,635,000 as of June 30, 1996. The
terms of these leases vary from three to five years at rates commensurate with
current market conditions. While in past periods the Company was dependent upon
ICC for lease financing and other financing assistance, the Company's dependence
on ICC has been lessening in recent years as additional financing sources have
become available to the Company. ICC nevertheless is still a significant source
of lease financing.

          The Company has a $15,000,000 asset-based line of credit with an
institutional lender. At June 30, 1996, the Company had $3,455,000 of unused
availability under this agreement. The line of credit expires February 4, 1999
and bears interest at 1-3/4% above the prime lending rate (currently 8 1/4%).
The Company intends to refinance this loan as it has done in the past by
extending the debt agreement or initiating a new loan agreement with another
financial institution and the Company does not expect any problems in obtaining
such extension or replacement financing. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements
for the material terms of the Company's debt agreements. Principal repayments of
long term debt and capital lease obligations were $707,000 and $1,684,000
respectively.

          In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, certain of the 8.25%
Debentures were converted into common stock of the Company. The conversion
reduced debt and increased stockholders' equity by $28,000. In addition, ICC
exercised its' preemptive rights with respect to such conversions and purchased
shares of common stock, which increased stockholders' equity by $19,000.

          In April 1996 the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to ICC for an aggregate of $2,500,000. The Preferred Stock increased
working capital and stockholder equity.

          The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $2,474,000, before the
valuation allowance, at June 30, 1996, which consists of future tax benefits of
net operating loss carryforwards and various other temporary differences. The
Company has forecasted profitable operations for at least the next few years
and, therefore, has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1,150,000 at June 30,
1996. The benefits of net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary
differences that will take more than a few years to realize can not be
reasonably determined at this time due to the dynamics in the industry and the
Company's inconsistent operating results in the past. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance of $1,324,000 was recorded at June 30, 1996, to provide for this
uncertainty. The realization of this asset in future periods will improve the
liquidity of the Company.

          The Company continues to take steps to increase sales and reduce costs
to improve operating results and increase profitability. The Company intends to
add an estimated $2,500,000 of capital equipment in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1997 to increase capacity and reduce costs. The Company intends for these
capital expenditures to be financed through capital leases with either ICC or
other parties. While the Company has in the past had no difficulty in obtaining
capital lease financing or meeting working capital needs, there can be no
assurance the Company will obtain the capital lease financing or meet working
capital needs in the future.
    
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1995

          Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 were $57,572,000
compared to $62,427,000 in the prior fiscal year. This decrease of $4,855,000 or
8% is the result of reductions in the private label (store brand), bulk and
contract manufacturing sectors of the business. The majority of the reduction in
private label (store brand) is the result of a reduction in purchases by Revco
D.S., Inc. ("Revco") for which the prior year period included increased sales to
fill start-up requirements for a new acquisition by Revco. In addition, a major
contract manufacturing project from the prior fiscal year did not continue at
the same rate in the current year.

          Sales discounts and allowances were $3,245,000 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $3,320,000 in the prior fiscal year.

          Three customers each represent over 10% of the Company's sales for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. These three customers are Revco, Walgreen
Company ("Walgreen") and Price-Costco, Inc. ("Price-Costco"). Net sales to these
three customers were $25,195,000 (46%) as compared to $29,801,000 (50%) in the
prior year.

          Cost of sales was 82% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to 76% in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost of sales as a
percentage of sales is due to the lower sales volume, especially in the bulk and
contract manufacturing sectors which traditionally have lower cost of sales
percentages than the private label (store brand) sectors. In addition, there
were increases in certain operating costs such as raw materials and labor rates.

          Selling, general and administration expenses were $9,143,000 as
compared to $7,719,000 in the prior year. The increase of $1,424,000 is a result
of increased selling and distribution costs to continually expand the customer
and product base. The Company has a new warehouse and distribution center to
facilitate the movement of inventory.

          The Company incurred $678,000 of special compensation of which the
majority was for estimated costs of special compensation expense for a former
president and chief executive officer.

          Research and development costs were $790,000 in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to $1,488,000 in the prior fiscal year. The decrease
of $698,000 is due to research projects which are not being performed at the
same rate as the prior fiscal year.

          Interest and other expenses were $3,511,000 in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to $3,447,000 in the prior fiscal year.

   
          The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $911,000, the majority
of which relates to the carryback of the current year net operating losses to
the prior three years to recover federal income taxes paid in prior years,
offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred income taxes due
to management's assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax as measured
by the valuation allowance.
    

          Net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 was $3,465,000 or
$.12 per share compared to net income of $2,046,000 or $.07 per share in the
prior fiscal year.

          The Company continues to take steps to increase revenues and reduce
costs to reverse the losses incurred in fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. These
steps include: (a) adding customers and products to the current business to
increase sales volume, (b) continual reductions in material costs and (c) other
cost-saving measures as well as other actions to improve profitability. There
can be no assurance that such actions will reverse the current loss and return
the Company to profitability.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR FISCAL 1995 COMPARED WITH FISCAL 1994

          Revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 were $62,427,000
compared to $56,256,000 in the prior year. The increase of $6,171,000 or 11%
resulted mainly from increased sales of existing products to current customers
and new customers and, to a lesser degree, to sales of new products (including
cough and cold medications and allergy products). Three customers, Revco,
Price-Costco and Walgreen, accounted for approximately $29,801,000 (50%) of net
sales in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 as compared to $21,928,000 (40%) in
the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales for these customers as well as
increases to other private label (store brand) customers was offset somewhat by
a decrease in sales in the Company's bulk manufacturing and contract
manufacturing sectors.

          Sales discounts and allowances were $3,320,000 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to $2,056,000 in the prior fiscal year. The
increase is the result of increased sales, especially in the private label
section of the business where discounts and allowances are more prevalent. In
addition, the Company has increased the allowances to certain private label
customers to respond to competitive pressures in the market place.

          Cost of goods sold was 76% of sales for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1995 as compared to 75% in the prior fiscal year. The Company achieved
manufacturing cost efficiencies through increased sales volume and cost
containment. The decreases in the bulk and contract manufacturing sector of the
business, which traditionally has higher gross profit margins was offset by cost
efficiencies resulting primarily from higher sales in the private label (store
brand) business, which traditionally has lower gross profit margins.

          Selling, general and administrative costs were $7,719,000 as compared
to $6,691,000 in the prior year. The increase of $1,028,000 is a result of
increased marketing and promotion costs to increase sales in the private label
sector of the business. These costs are incurred to expand the customer and
product base. In addition, administrative costs have increased (salaries, legal,
etc.) to support the increased sales volume.

          Research and development costs were $1,488,000 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995, compared to $574,000 in the prior fiscal year. The increase
of $914,000 is due to the development of new products to fund future sales
growth.

          Interest expense was $3,512,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995
compared to $3,298,000 in the prior fiscal year. The increase of $214,000
results from increased borrowing on the Company's revolving line of credit to
finance growth in accounts receivable and inventory.

          The Company recorded a reduction in the deferred tax valuation
allowance of $1,000,000 in fiscal year ended 1995 as compared to $197,000 in the
prior fiscal year. This is a result of a change in estimate for deferred income
taxes, which increased net income by $1,000,000 in fiscal year ended June 30,
1995.

          Net income was $2,046,000 or $.07 per share as compared to $2,211,000
or $.08 per share in the prior year.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

          The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
its operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 or 1994,
respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc.


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1996 and 1995
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended June 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

   BUSINESS AND RELATED   primarily engaged in the manufacture and distribution
   PARTIES                of over-the-counter solid dosage pharmaceutical 
                          products in tablet, caplet and capsule form,
                          which are sold under customers' private
                          labels. The Company supplies bulk
                          products to secondary distributors and
                          repackers as well as smaller competitors
                          who do not have sophisticated research
                          and development departments. The Company
                          also engages in contract manufacturing
                          of selected branded products for well
                          known major pharmaceutical companies.
                          The Company also is engaged in the
                          testing and research and development of
                          new drug and health care products.

                          In September 1991, the Company entered
                          into an option agreement with ICC
                          Industries Inc. ("ICC"), which, as
                          amended at various dates (the "Option
                          Agreement"), provided for options to
                          acquire a total of 66.67% of the number
                          of shares of the Company's common stock
                          outstanding after exercise of all
                          options. ICC has exercised all of its
                          options pursuant to the Option
                          agreement. The number of shares issued
                          to ICC through June 30, 1996 was
                          19,635,894 at option prices ranging from
                          $.1036 to $.1553 per share.

                          In the event of any future issuance of
                          shares of common stock of the Company
                          pursuant to the exercise of existing
                          options, warrants, conversion rights and
                          other rights as they existed at
                          September 24, 1992 ("Outstanding
                          Rights"), issuance of common stock in
                          settlement of the Company's outstanding
                          debts as of September 24, 1992, or
                          issuance of shares of stock to key
                          management, ICC shall be entitled to
                          acquire additional shares to maintain
                          the ownership percentage it holds
                          immediately before such shares of common
                          stock are issued (the "Limited
                          Preemptive Rights").

                          ICC's exercise price for the shares will
                          be the lesser of $.25 ($.50 in the case
                          of certain key management shares) or the
                          exercise price or conversion price of
                          the Outstanding Rights as the case may
                          be.

                          ICC exercised the following preemptive rights in 1996,
                          1995 and 1994 at a price of $.25 per share:

                                    1996             1995              1994

 2.   SUMMARY OF          Principles of Consolidation
      SIGNIFICANT
      ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                          The accompanying consolidated financial statements
                          include the accounts of the Company and its 
                          wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All references to the 
                          "Company" include its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All
                          significant intercompany accounts and transactions 
                          have been eliminated.

                          Cash Equivalents
                          Cash equivalents consists of short-term,
                          highly liquid investments, which are
                          readily convertible into cash at cost.

                          Inventories

                          Inventories are stated at the lower of
                          cost or market with cost determined on a
                          first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

                          Property, Plant and Equipment

                          Property, plant and equipment are stated
                          at cost. Depreciation and amortization
                          is provided on the straight-line method
                          over the estimated useful lives of the
                          assets (five to fifteen years).

                          Deferred Financing Costs

                          Deferred financing costs represent
                          direct issuance costs incurred in
                          connection with the Company's
                          borrowings. Such costs are amortized
                          over the life of the related debt (three
                          to fifteen years).

                          Revenue Recognition

                          Sales of products are recorded when products
                          are shipped to customers.  Provisions for
                          estimated sales returns and losses, which
                          are not material, are accrued at the time
                          revenues are recorded.

                          Earnings Per Share

                          Earnings per share are based on the
                          weighted average number of common and
                          common equivalent shares outstanding
                          during the year. Common equivalent
                          shares consist of the dilutive effect of
                          unissued shares under options, warrants
                          and in the case of fully-diluted
                          earnings per share, convertible
                          debentures, computed using the treasury
                          stock method (using the average stock
                          prices for primary basis and the higher
                          of average or period end stock prices
                          for fully diluted basis).

                          No effect has been given to shares
                          issuable for common stock equivalents
                          for the year ended June 30, 1996 as the
                          effect would be anti-dilutive.

                          At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the primary
                          and fully diluted common equivalent
                          shares amounted to 2,110,000 and
                          5,320,000, and 2,804,000 and 5,793,000,
                          respectively.

                          Concentration of Credit Risk

                          Financial instruments that potentially
                          subject the Company to credit risk
                          consist principally of trade
                          receivables. The Company extends credit
                          to a substantial number of its customers
                          and performs ongoing credit evaluations
                          of those customers' financial condition
                          while, generally, requiring no
                          collateral. Customers that have not been
                          extended credit by the Company are on a
                          cash on delivery basis only. At June 30,
                          1996, approximately 42% of the accounts
                          receivable balance is represented by
                          three customers.

                          Income Taxes

                          The Company accounts for income taxes in
                          accordance with Statement of Financial
                          Accounting Standards No. 109,
                          "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
                          requires the recognition of deferred tax
                          liabilities and assets at currently
                          enacted tax rates for the expected
                          future tax consequences of events that
                          have been included in the financial
                          statements or tax returns.

                          Use of Estimates

                          The preparation of financial statements
                          in conformity with generally accepted
                          accounting principles requires
                          management to make estimates and
                          assumptions that affect the reported
                          amounts of assets and liabilities and
                          disclosure of contingent assets and
                          liabilities at the date of the financial
                          statements and the reported amounts of
                          revenues and expenses during the
                          reporting period. Actual results could
                          differ from those estimates.

                          Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

                          In March 1995, the Financial Accounting
                          Standards Board ("FASB") issued
                          Statement of Financial Accounting
                          Standards ("FAS") No. 121, "Accounting
                          for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
                          and for Long- Lived Assets to Be
                          Disposed Of." The Company believes that
                          this pronouncement will not have a
                          material impact on the Company's results
                          of operations and financial condition.
                          In October 1995, the FASB issued FAS No.
                          123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
                          Compensation." As permitted under FAS
                          No. 123, the Company plans to continue
                          its current method of valuing stock
                          options granted to employees and will
                          disclose the proforma effect of the fair
                          value of such options.

                          Fair Value of Financial Instruments

                          Financial instruments of the Company
                          include long-term debt. Based upon the
                          current borrowing rates available to the
                          Company, estimated fair values of the
                          revolving credit and term loans (see
                          Note 5) approximate their recorded
                          carrying amounts. It was not deemed
                          practical to determine the estimated
                          fair value of the remaining debt. The
                          carrying amounts for cash, accounts
                          receivable, accounts payable and accrued
                          expenses are reasonable estimates of
                          their fair value due to the short
                          maturity of these items.

                          Reclassifications

                          Certain amounts appearing in the 1995
                          and 1994 financial statements have been
                          reclassified to conform to the 1996
                          presentation. There was no effect on net
                          income due to the reclassification.

                         are $15,000,000.  Advances under the revolving loans
                         are limited to the sum of eligible accounts receivable
                         and up to $6,000,000 of eligible inventory, as defined.
                         The term loan is payable in 48 monthly installments of
                         $34,000 commencing February 5, 1995, with the then 
                         outstanding balance due on February 4, 1999.  The
                         revolving loan is also due on that date. The term loan
                         and the revolving loan are secured by substantially
                         all of the assets of PFI and bear interest, payable
                         monthly, at the prime rate (8 1/4% at June 30, 1996),
                         plus 1 3/4%.  In the event of default, the interest 
                         rate will increase by 2%.

                         The loan agreement contains certain loan covenants,
                         which, among other things, prohibit the Company from
                         making dividend payments, limit the Company's annual
                         capital expenditures and net loss and require the 
                         Company to maintain minimum working capital and net
                         worth.  The Company was not in compliance in fiscal
                         1996 of the minimum amount of loss allowed under the
                         agreement, which non-compliance was waived by the
                         financial institution.

            (b)          At June 30, 1996, the Company has 5,196 units 
                         outstanding consisting of a $1,000 principal amount 8%
                         convertible subordinated debenture due June 15, 2002
                         (the "8% Debentures") with interest payable 
                         semi-annually. The holders of the 8% Debentures may 
                         convert them at any time into common stock of the 
                         Company at a conversion price of $48 per share.  The
                         8% Debentures are redeemable at the option of the
                         Company under certain circumstances at par, plus an 
                         applicable premium, as defined.

                         In 1994, 1,285 units of 8% Debentures, representing the
                         final number of options, were issued in connection 
                         with the exercise of unit purchase options. Upon 
                         exercise, a bond discount of $1,102,000 was recorded 
                         on the transaction.

                         In 1996, ICC purchased 29 units of the 8% Debentures
                         at a purchase price of $17,643.  ICC offered and the
                         Company accepted these bonds at ICC's cost, which
                         approximated the Company's book value of the debt.

             (c)         On June 30, 1996, the Company has 1,753 units
                         outstanding consisting of $325 principal amount
                         8 1/4% convertible debentures due June 15, 2002 (which
                         includes $570,000 face value and interest through 
                         maturity of $282,000).  Interest is payable annually 
                         on June 30.  The holders of the 8 1/4% Debentures may
                         convert them at any time into shares of common stock at
                         a conversion price of $.55 per share.  The Company has
                         no right to redeem the 8 1/4% Debentures.

                         In 1996, 1995 and 1994, 58,206 and 5 units, 
                         respectively, of 8 1/4% Debentures were converted
                         into common stock. A total of 158,166 shares were 
                         issued to the debenture holders.

             (d)         The loan, which is secured by certain equipment, bears
                         interest at 63/8% and is due as follows: $70,000 at 
                         June 1, 1997 and 1998; $80,000 at June 1, 1999, 2000 
                         and 2001; and $400,000 at June 1, 2002. A provision in 
                         the loan agreement allows the lender to declare the
                         loan immediately due and payable if there has been an 
                         event of default in any of the Company's other debt 
                         agreements.

             (e)         The Company has a variable interest rate secured
                         convertible note which bears interest at prime, plus
                         2 3/4%, payable quarterly.  The principal amount of the
                         note may be converted into shares of the Company's 
                         common stock at a conversion price of $.50 per share, 
                         less adjustments.  The note is subordinated to the 
                         loans described in Note 5(a) and (d) and is
                         secured by all assets of PFI.  The note is payable
                         $15,000 per month with interest due quarterly.  The
                         note-holders have waived their rights to convert the
                         note into shares of common stock, except in the event 
                         of default.

             (f)         In August 1989, PFI entered into a sale and leaseback
                         of its land and building in Edison, New Jersey.  The
                         term of the lease is 15 years, plus two five-year
                         renewal options.  Monthly base rent is $107,000 for the
                         first 30 months increased by the change in the Consumer
                         Price Index on the thirty-first month after 
                         commencement and on each thirtieth month thereafter. 
                         On September 30, 1994, the monthly base rent increased
                         to $130,000.  The Company is obligated to pay all
                         utilities, real estate taxes, assessments and repair
                         and maintenance costs in connection with the premises.
                         The land and building has been recorded as a capital
                         lease and the gain on the sale and leaseback of
                         approximately $750,000 has been deferred and is
                         being amortized over the term of the lease.  The lease
                         has been capitalized at the net present value of the
                         future minimum rental payments ($8,348,000), assuming
                         a 13 1/4% interest rate factor, and is being amortized
                         over the term of the lease.

             (g)        The Company leases various equipment primarily from ICC
                        under capital lease agreements.  The terms of the leases
                        vary from three to five years with monthly rentals of 
                        approximately $148,000.

                        The Company's debt and obligations under capital leases
                        mature in fiscal years ending June 30 as follows:

6.  COMMITMENTS AND      Commitments
     CONTINGENCIES

                         In fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a long-term
                         lease for a building adjacent to the Company's present
                         facility. The lease term is ten years with
                         two five-year renewal options. The lease is classified
                         as an operating lease. The rent payments are $319,200
                         per anum for the first five years and $342,000 per 
                         annum for the balance of the initial term.

                         Contingencies

                         In or about October 1991, an action was instituted 
                         against the Company by an individual seeking monies 
                         claimed to be due under an alleged employment
                         agreement.

                         The Company believes that the amount sought, 
                         $3,500,000, has been frivolously asserted to harass the
                         Company and that the allegations are completely 
                         baseless. The Company has interposed counterclaims
                         against plaintiff for fraud and related claims and 
                         seeks damages in the amount of $5,000,000. This case 
                         has been moved to the "inactive" trial list. No further
                         action will be taken by either party unless and until 
                         plaintiff seeks to restore the matter.

                         In or about November 1992, an action was
                         instituted against the Company by Univest Technologies,
                         alleging that the Company breached its agreement by
                         refusing to furnish Soluble Aspirin to such entity. 
                         Plaintiff seeks "consequential damages" of $1,500,000.
                         The Company denies that any such agreement existed and
                         vigorously denies that any monies are owed to 
                         plaintiff.  The Company moved to dismiss the
                         complaint, which motion was granted with
                         leave to replead. Plaintiff served an amended complaint
                         thereafter, and the Company again moved to dismiss the
                         complaint. The Company is awaiting a
                         decision from the court with respect to the Company's 
                         second motion.

                         If the complaint is not dismissed, the Company intends
                         to assert counterclaims against plaintiff for amounts 
                         in excess of the amount sought, on the basis of,
                         among other things, plaintiff's fraud and 
                         misrepresentation.

                         In or about July 1994, Puritan Quartz, Inc. 
                         ("Puritan") brought suit against the Company, alleging
                         breach of (i) the Company's purported contractual
                         obligations to supply Puritan with acetaminophen and 
                         ibuprofen for resale to an unaffiliated party; and (ii)
                         related confidentiality obligations. The complaint 
                         seeks damages in the aggregate amount of $3,600,000, 
                         plus $300,000 for each additional month of continuing
                         breach. The Company denies that it has any liability to
                         Puritan. The Company believes that the clear meaning 
                         of the language of the agreement between the
                         parties was that the agreement had a one
                         year term, ending October 16, 1993, prior to the 
                         events of the alleged breach, and that such agreement
                         was never extended. Accordingly, in the Company's view,
                         it had no obligation whatsoever to Puritan at the time
                         of the alleged breach. The Company further
                         believes that Puritan's claims as to the
                         aggregate amount of its alleged lost
                         profits are overstated. Discovery is on-going and the
                         Company intends to move for summary judgement at the 
                         close of discovery.

                         Under the New Jersey Industrial Site
                         Recovery Act ("ISRA"), the purchase of
                         the Company's manufacturing facilities
                         from Revco in 1987, the sale/leaseback
                         of the premises in 1989 (Note 5(f)), and
                         the exercise by ICC of options to
                         purchase a controlling interest in the
                         Company's common stock required the
                         approval of the NJDEP (Note 1).

                         Although Revco has agreed to be
                         primarily liable for the cost of
                         clean-up efforts and has posted a
                         $1,000,000 bond with the State of New
                         Jersey to secure clean-up obligations
                         (reduced to $306,000 in July 1993), the
                         Company remains contingently liable for
                         the clean-up costs and could be called
                         upon for some or all of the clean-up
                         effort in the event Revco defaults on
                         its clean-up obligations.

                         Management believes the final outcome of
                         the above proceedings will not have a
                         material effect upon the Company's
                         financial position.

                         The Company is a party to various other
                         legal proceedings arising in the normal
                         conduct of business. Management believes
                         that the final outcome of these
                         proceedings will not have a material
                         adverse effect upon the Company's
                         financial position.

                         The Company utilized tax loss carryforwards of 
                         approximately $166,000 for U.S. regular tax purposes
                         during each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995
                         and 1994.

                         As of June 30, 1996, the Company had available net
                         operating losses of approximately $3,000,000 for U.S.
                         regular tax purposes, which expire through 2111.  The
                         utilization of losses generated prior to September
                         1991, which approximated $1,800,000, is limited to
                         approximately $166,000 per year for U.S. regular tax
                         purposes due to the change in ownership resulting from
                         the ICC investment.  State income tax net operating 
                         loss carryforwards of approximately $16,200,000, which

The net deferred tax asset of $2,474,000, before the valuation allowance, at
June 30, 1996, consists of future tax benefits of net operating loss
carryforwards and various other temporary differences.  The Company has
forecasted profitable operations for at least the next few years and, therefore,
has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $1,150,000 at June 30 1996.  The
benefits of net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary differences
that will take more than a few years to realize can not be reasonably determined
at this time due to the dynamics in the industry and the Company's inconsistent
operating results in the past.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $1,324,000
was recorded at June 30, 1996, to provide for this uncertainty.

1    Executives may not sell or assign any stock grants, which have value only
     to the extent of stock price appreciation, which will benefit all
     shareholders commensurately. The amounts set forth are based on assumed
     appreciation rates of 5% and 10% as prescribed by the Securities and
     Exchange Commission rules and are not intended to forecast future
     appreciation, if any, of the stock price. The Company did not use an
     alternate formula for a grant date valuation as it is not aware of any
     formula which will determine with reasonable accuracy a present value based
     on future unknown or volatile factors. Actual gains, if any, on stock
     option exercises and Common Stock holdings are dependent on the future
     performance of the Common Stock and overall stock market conditions. There
     can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be
     achieved.

2    The exercise price is equal to or higher than the fair market value of the
     Company's Common Stock on the date of the grant. The options for 30,000
     shares were granted on January 25, 1996, and become exercisable in full on
     June 7, 1996 and expire on the later of September 4, 1996 or the date of
     termination of the employee's employment (but in no event later than
     December 6, 2000), whichever is later. The options for 75,000 shares were
     granted on June 7, 1996 and become exercisable in full on October 4, 1996
     and expire on April 4, 2001.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

LAROSA EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          Mr. LaRosa entered into an employment agreement with the Company dated
April 4, 1996, pursuant to which he agreed to be retained as President and Chief
Executive Officer at a salary of $250,000 per year beginning June 7, 1996. Mr.
LaRosa was paid $200,000 per annum for the period from December 7, 1995 to June
7, 1996. Mr. LaRosa is entitled to a bonus at the end of each fiscal year based
upon Company results and performance, which bonus is at the sole discretion of
the Board of Directors with no guaranteed minimum or maximum bonus. Pursuant to
such agreement, effective June 7, 1996 he was awarded a grant of 25,000 shares
of stock pursuant to the employment agreement and stock options for 75,000
shares of common stock, at $.56 per share, such options being exercisable in
full on October 4, 1996 and expiring April 4, 2001. Mr. LaRosa had previously
received 30,000 options at $.66 per share, such options were exercisable on June
7, 1996 and expire June 7, 2001. He is also entitled to certain insurance and
similar benefits of a customary nature, plus reimbursement of financial planning
services up to a maximum of $5,200 per year. Mr. LaRosa's employment may be
terminated at any time by the Company upon three months notice, but in such
instance he will continue to receive compensation for 12 months from the date on
which the Company chooses to cease his employment activities. Mr. LaRosa may
terminate his employment upon two weeks notice.

TESLER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          Dr. Tesler entered into an employment agreement with the Company in
1984, which was amended at various subsequent times. His employment with the
Company was ended in December 1995. The employment agreement provided that in
the event of termination by the Company other than for cause, Dr. Tesler is
entitled to receive his full base salary and all benefits for the balance of the
remaining term of the employment agreement plus one year, but in no event for
more than three years. The agreement also provides that in the event of his
death during this period, his surviving ex-spouse or estate will receive $50,000
per year for ten years.

          In connection with the execution of the ICC Option Agreement, as
amended, Dr. Tesler executed an amendment to his employment agreement, pursuant
to which the term of the employment agreement was extended and modified and Dr.
Tesler further waived his rights to receive 5% of pre-tax profits and specified
warrants to receive Common Stock. Also, in connection with the ICC Option
Agreement, as well as the amendment to Dr. Tesler's employment agreement, Dr.
Tesler has received 250,000 shares of Common Stock and 272,533 additional shares
of Common Stock as a result of rights granted to Dr. Tesler in the event that
Common Stock was issued by the Company to third parties pursuant to agreements
in effect at that date. Dr. Tesler's employment agreement also provided that, in
the event of a "Change of Control" of the Company, as defined in his agreement,
he was entitled to receive cash compensation equal to two times his last annual
salary and 10% of the total number of shares outstanding on the date of such
Change of Control on a fully diluted basis (i.e., giving effect to the exercise
of all outstanding warrants, options and other rights to shares of the Company's
Common Stock). Dr. Tesler received the shares as noted above, and $50,000 per
year for four years and 400,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock at $.50 per
share, in lieu of this provision. In September, 1992 Dr. Tesler, on behalf of
the Company, agreed in an amendment to the ICC Option Agreement, to the
Company's distribution of 66,800 of these warrants to other key management
personnel.

          Upon review of such warrants by the Board of Directors, certain
directors felt that the provisions of such warrants as issued were not in
accordance with the terms agreed and authorized. Specifically, some directors
believe that the warrants should have been in the same format as other warrants
issued in the same time period, and specifically were to include antidilution
provisions consistent with traditional warrants that are customary both for the
Company and for such warrants, and that the warrants should proportionately
adjust in the case of a reverse stock split or similar recapitalization of the
Company. The Company understands that Dr. Tesler takes a position with respect
to the terms of such warrants which is contrary to the position taken by such
directors.

CANTAFFA EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          Mr. Cantaffa has an employment agreement with the Company which
provides for an annual base salary, subject to approved increases, and expires
on December 31, 1996.

OPTIONS

          Options granted under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan include
provisions accelerating the vesting schedule in the case of a defined "Change of
Control." A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any
person or group of persons acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person) the
beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Company; (ii) during any period of twelve months, individuals
who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any
new director whose election or nomination was approved by the directors in
office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose
election or nomination was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority thereof; (iii) a person acquires beneficial
ownership of stock of the Company that, together with stock held immediately
prior to such acquisition by such Person, possesses more than 50% of the total
fair market value of total voting power of the stock of the Company, unless the
additional stock is acquired by a person possessing, immediately prior to such
acquisition, beneficial ownership of 40% or more of the Common Stock; or (iv) a
person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the
date of the most recent acquisition by such person) assets from the Company that
have a total fair market value equal to or more than one-third of the total fair
market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of clauses (i) and
(ii), a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if the power to
control (directly or indirectly) the management and policies of the Company is
not transferred from a person to another person; and for purposes of clause
(iv), a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur if the assets of the
Company are transferred: (A) to a shareholder in exchange for his stock, (B) to
an entity in which the Company has (directly or indirectly) 50% ownership, or
(C) to a Person that has (directly or indirectly) at least 50% ownership of the
Company with respect to its stock outstanding, or to any entity in which such
person possesses (directly or indirectly) 50% ownership.

*       Less than 1%.

1    Unless it is stated otherwise in any of the following notes, each holder
     owns the reported shares directly and has sole voting and investment power
     with respect to such shares. The number of shares beneficially owned by a
     person also includes all shares which can be acquired by such person within
     60 days, including by way of exercise of outstanding options or the
     conversion of convertible securities which are, or during such 60-day
     period, become exercisable or convertible.

2    Includes (i) 340,442 shares of Common Stock owned by NuMatco, Inc.
     ("NuMatco"), a company of which Dr. Tesler is sole officer, director and
     stockholder; (ii) currently exercisable warrants to purchase 333,200 shares
     of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $.50 per share until October 1,
     1998 (see the discussion above under "Tesler Employment Agreement" with
     respect to such warrants); (iii) 20 shares issuable upon conversion of each
     of 327 8% Convertible Debentures for a total of 6,813 shares, which
     debentures are owned by the pension plan for BTS Therapeutics Corp., a
     company wholly-owned by Dr. Tesler; and (iv) 30,652 shares owned by HTA
     Co., Inc. which shares represent Dr. Tesler's 50% ownership interest in the
     total 61,304 shares owned by HTA.

3    Does not include approximately 3,777,000 shares includable in connection
     with ICC's limited preemptive rights since such rights are not currently
     exercisable nor can there be any assumption that they will become
     exercisable within 60 days after September 1, 1996. Such shares are
     issuable only upon the issuance by the Company of certain shares to other
     persons; the issuance of shares to ICC pursuant to the limited preemptive
     rights is intended to maintain the preexisting equity ownership of ICC of
     approximately two-thirds of the outstanding shares (excluding shares which
     ICC may acquire upon conversion of convertible preferred shares). It also
     does not include any shares which may be issuable upon conversion of
     outstanding convertible preferred stock since such conversion can not occur
     until April 8, 1999. Dr. Farber is the majority stockholder of ICC. See
     "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

     September 1, 1996 or within 60 days thereof as follows: Mr. Barbee: 41,250;
     Mr. Belaga: 25,000; Mr. Blackshire: 75,000; Mr. Callahan: 75,000; Mr.
