Note 4.

   The Company uses the liability method specified by SFAS No. 109,
   "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
   determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
   basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which
   will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is
   the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The
   principal types of differences between assets and liabilities for
   financial statement and tax return purposes are net operating loss
   carryforwards and accumulated depreciation. A deferred tax asset is
   recorded for net operating losses being carried forward for tax purposes.
   At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, the net deferred tax asset has
   been reduced to zero by a valuation allowance.

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

        Results of Operations.

        Three months ended December 31, 1996 compared with three months ended
        December 31, 1995

        Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1996 (Second
Quarter 1997) increased by 7.9% to $997,754 from net sales of $924,907 for
the three months ended December 31, 1995 (Second Quarter 1996). Sales
increased during Second Quarter 1997 due to increased sales of one of the
Company's products and due to contract packaging performed during Second
Quarter 1997.

        Cost of sales increased by 26.5%, to $596,005 in Second Quarter 1997
from $471,271 in Second Quarter 1996. Cost of sales increased due to higher
sales volumes, new products with higher raw material and labor costs, and the
hiring of additional employees to work on new product introductions and new
product approvals. Gross profit margins for Second Quarter 1997 and Second
Quarter 1996 were 40.3% and 49.0%, respectively. The decrease in the gross
profit percentage is primarily due to more competitive pricing for one of the
Company's products resulting in decreasing margins. In addition the Company
introduced Prednisone 5mg and Prednisone 20mg during the quarter ended June
30, 1996, which have lower gross profit margins than the Company's other
products.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 19.8%, to
$220,660 in Second Quarter 1997 from $274,974 in Second Quarter 1996. The
decrease is primarily due to decreased legal expenses and a decrease in
administrative payroll costs.

        As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating
profit of $181,089 for Second Quarter 1997, as compared to an operating
profit of $178,662 for Second Quarter 1996.

        The Company's interest expense increased to $163,063 in Second
Quarter 1997 from $151,646 in Second Quarter 1996 primarily due to increased
borrowings on the Company's lines of credit. See Liquidity and Capital
Resources below.

        The Company reported net income of $19,315 for Second Quarter 1997,
compared to net income of $52,235 or $0.01 per share, $.01 on a fully diluted
basis, for Second Quarter 1996. Net income decreased from Second Quarter 1997
as compared to Second Quarter 1996, largely due to an increase in interest
costs during Second Quarter 1997 and due to insurance proceeds being received
during Second Quarter 1996.

        Six months ended December 31, 1996 compared with six months ended
        December 31, 1995.

        Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1996 decreased by
11.3% to $1,649,115 from net sales of $1,858,689 for the six months ended
December 31, 1995 . Sales decreased during the six months ended December 31,
1996 due to increased competition and due to more competitive pricing.

        Cost of sales increased by 13.0%, to $1,017,832 in the six months
ended December 31, 1996 from $900,708 in the six months ended December 31,
1995. Cost of sales increased due to new products with higher raw material
and labor costs, and the hiring of additional employees to work on new
product introductions and new product approvals. Gross profit margins for the 
six months ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were 38.2% and 51.5%,
respectively. The decrease in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to
more competitive pricing for one of the Company's products resulting in
decreasing margins. In addition the Company introduced Prednisone 5mg and
Prednisone 20mg during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which have lower
gross profit margins than the Company's other products.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses were $535,140 in the six
months ended December 31, 1996, which 

                                      8

<PAGE>


remained constant compared to similar expenses of $539,493 during the six
months ended December 31, 1995.

        As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating
profit of $96,143 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
an operating profit of $418,488 for the six months ended December 31, 1995.

        The Company's interest expense increased to $319,299 in the six
months ended December 31, 1996 from $305,020 in the six months ended December
31, 1995 due to increased borrowings on the Company's lines of credit.

        The Company reported a net loss of $225,055 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, or ($.04) per share, compared to net income of $144,123,
or $.03 per share, $.02 on a fully diluted basis, for the six months ended
December 31, 1995.

                       Liquidity and Capital Resources

        The Company used $79,724 and $20,359 of cash in operations during the
six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Net cash used in
operations increased during the six months ended December 31, 1996 due to
lower net income and an increase in inventory as a result of new product
introductions and due to the Company maintaining higher inventory levels of
its current products in order to allow for increased research and development
activities. Accounts receivable decreased as a result of the lower sales
levels in the six months ended December 31, 1996. Accrued liabilities
decreased due to the costs of a biostudy accrued at June 30, 1996 being paid
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 and as a result of lower legal
fees being incurred. Accrued interest increased due to the Company deferring
interest payments for Fiscal 1997 on the shareholder line of credit and note.

The Company expended $182,215 for property, plant and equipment during the
six months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $127,193 expended during the six
months ended December 31, 1995. The Company has budgeted up to $500,000, for
capital expenditures in Fiscal 1997 and expects to obtain the necessary
financing.

        Net cash provided from financing activities increased to $236,681
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 from $127,214 provided by
financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 1995 due to
increased borrowings under both the shareholder and equipment lines, to
finance working capital and equipment needs.

        As a result of the foregoing, the Company experienced a $25,258
decrease in cash available from the beginning to the end of the six months
ended December 31, 1996, resulting in a zero cash balance at the end of the
period.

        Except as set forth herein, the Company is not aware of any known
trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on the Company's net sales or income from continuing
operations.

        From Fiscal 1987 through Fiscal 1994, the Company incurred operating
losses and suffered cash flow restraints. The Company obtained the needed
capital to renovate its manufacturing facility, to acquire new equipment, to
remove hazardous waste materials, to retain new management and to provide
working capital, primarily from a financing facility made available to the
Company by William Farber, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Board
of Directors, in August 1991. This investment has resulted in an operating
profit for the Company for the Fiscal years 1996 and 1995.

                                      9

<PAGE>

        This financing facility originally consisted of a $2,000,000
revolving line of credit and a $2,000,000 9% convertible debenture. The
revolving line of credit and the debenture are secured by substantially all
of the Company's assets and are subordinated to the bank lines of credit and
mortgage term loan payable. In March 1993, at the Company's request, William
Farber increased the aggregate credit available under the revolving line of
credit to $3,500,000. The Company requested the additional financing to
provide working capital while the Company reformulated products and obtained
supplemental approvals from the FDA. On November 1, 1996 at the Company's
request, William Farber increased the aggregate credit available under the
revolving line of credit to $3,750,000. The Company requested the additional
financing to provide working capital and to support new product development.

        The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate published by
Michigan National Bank plus 1% per annum. Accrued interest from April 1, 1995 
to June 30, 1996 is payable in two equal installments, on June 30, 1997 and 
June 30, 1998. Accrued interest from July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 is 
payable in twenty-four equal installments, commencing August 15, 1997 
and continuing on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter, until paid 
in full. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance from and 
after July 1, 1997 is due and payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing 
October 1, 1997 and continuing on the first day of each January, 
April, July and October thereafter until paid in full. The outstanding 
principle balance of the Revolving Credit Loan, together with accrued 
interest, is due and payable in full on December 31, 1998. At
December 31, 1996 accrued interest was approximately $593,000 of which
$383,000 is included in the long-term outstanding balance. At December 31,
1996, $210,000 was classified as currently due.

        The debenture bears interest at 9% per annum. The debenture is due
December 23, 1998 and is convertible at any time prior to payment in full at
the conversion rate of 4,000 shares of common stock for each $1,000 of
outstanding indebtedness (adjusted for the Company's 4 for 1 stock splits in
April 1992 and March 1993). Accrued interest from April 1, 1995 to 
June 30, 1996 is payable in two equal installments, on June 30, 1997 and 
June 30, 1998. Accrued interest from July 1, 1996 to June 30, 1997 is 
payable in twenty-four equal monthly installments, commencing August 15, 
1997 and continuing on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter, until 
paid in full. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance 
from and after July 1, 1997 is due and payable quarterly, in arrears, 
commencing October 1, 1997 and continuing on the first day of 
each January, April, July and October thereafter until paid in full.
The outstanding principal balance of this Debenture, together with accrued
interest, is due and payable in full on December 23, 1998. At December 31,
1996 accrued interest was approximately $320,000, of which $206,000 is
included in the long-term outstanding balance. At December 31, 1996 $114,000
was classified as currently due.

        At December 31, 1996, there was no additional borrowing capacity
available under the revolving line of credit. Management expects to have
sufficient operating income during Fiscal 1997 to make the required monthly
interest payments.

        In May 1993, the Company obtained from a bank a $500,000 mortgage
term loan which provides for monthly principal installments of approximately
$2,800 plus interest at 9.25% per annum. A final balloon payment of $302,778
is due in May 2000. The Company also obtained from the bank a $500,000 line
of credit which bears interest at prime plus 1.5% per annum. The line of
credit is limited to 80% of qualified accounts receivable. At December 31,
1996, no funds were available under the line of credit. Both loans are
secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and the mortgage term
loan is guaranteed by Mr. Farber, who has subordinated his loans to the
Company to those of the bank. The bank's lien against the Company's realty is
to be released on payment in full of the mortgage term loan.

        On July 31, 1995, the Company secured a $300,000 bank revolving line
of credit for equipment financing, expiring October 31, 1996. Advances are
limited to 80% of equipment costs. On April 1, 1996, $93,881 of borrowings
under this line was converted into a secured term loan payable in forty-eight
equal monthly installments. This line of credit bears interest at prime plus
1.5%. At December 31, 1996, approximately $45,000 was available to the Company
under the revolving line of credit for equipment financing. The line of credit
is collateralized by all of the Company's present and future equipment. It is
also cross-collateralized with the bank mortgage term loan payable and the
line of credit. The Company is currently negotiating to increase its
borrowing capacity under the equipment line of credit.

                                     10

<PAGE>


        Management currently believes the balances available under the
Company's existing lines of credit, and working capital generated by sales
activity, will be adequate to fund the Company's working capital requirements
under current sales conditions. The Company anticipates increasing its lines
of credit in order to introduce new products and to support increased
research and development activities.

        Except as set forth herein, the Company is not aware of any known
trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on the Company's short-term or long-term liquidity or
financial condition.

        Prospects for the Future

        As of December 31, 1996, the Company was manufacturing and marketing
five products, BCC, Primidone, Dicyclomine, Prednisone 5mg and Prednisone
20mg. Ten additional products are under development at this time; of which
six are former Lannett products being prepared for reintroduction. One of
these products has been redeveloped and submitted to the FDA for supplemental
approval; five others are currently in various stages of development,
revalidation or preparation for submission to the FDA; and the remaining four
represent new product introductions, of which one has completed a bio-study
and has recently been submitted to the FDA for review. The Company recently
received approval from the FDA for Acetazolamide USP 250mg tablets, a
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, the generic version of American Home Product's,
Diamox(R), used in the treatment of some types of convulsive disorders
(epilepsy), certain types of glaucoma, and in the treatment of cardiac edema.
The Company also recently received approval from the FDA to market 
Isoniazid USP 300 mg tablets, Isoniazid, is an antibacterial and, in 
combination with other antituberculars, is indicated in the treatment
of, and in certain persons, as a preventative therapy for, tuberculosis.
Since the Company has no control over the FDA review process, management is
unable to anticipate with certainty when it will commence production and
begin shipping of additional products. Lannett is also pursuing key strategic
alliances to jointly market its current product base. In addition, the
Company is actively pursuing contract manufacturing and contract packaging,
resulting in the recent signing of a "supply" agreement, sales from this

Dear Jeffrey:

        This letter confirms that the Maturity Date (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) for the Revolving Credit Loan is extended to December 31, 1998.
This letter also confirms that the Lender will not declare an Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement or any promissory note or other document
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Agreement if Borrower
fails to pay interest accrued from April 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996 on the
Revolving Credit Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or the Term Loan (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) in monthly installments as currently provided
in the Loan Agreement; provided that (i) Borrower pays such accrued interest
in two equal monthly installments, on June 30, 1997, and June 30, 1998.


                              Very Truly Yours,
