                      LANNETT COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
    recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
    and the results of operations and cash flows.

    The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and
    1999 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

    While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to
    make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated
    financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
    statements and the notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
    10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000.



NOTE 2.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS


In July 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities.
It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133, was effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. There has been no accounting, or financial effect
on the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 with respect to this
Statement. The Company will continue to analyze the impact, if any, of adopting
SFAS No. 133 will have on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.

         Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2000 ("First Quarter
Fiscal 2001") decreased by 35.1% to $1,763,965 from net sales of $2,717,193 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 ("First Quarter Fiscal 2000"). Sales
decreased during First Quarter Fiscal 2001 due mainly to decreased sales of the
Company's Over-The-Counter ("OTC") product line. OTC sales decreased by
approximately $825,000 from First Quarter Fiscal 2000 to First Quarter Fiscal
2001. Prescription sales decreased by approximately $128,000 from First Quarter
Fiscal 2000 to First Quarter Fiscal 2001. This decrease in sales is a result of
increased competition, and market conditions. The Company expects to increase
sales by introducing more products into its line, and using additional sales and
marketing resources.

         Cost of sales decreased by 21.3%, to $1,454,677 in First Quarter Fiscal
2001 from $1,848,278 in First Quarter Fiscal 2000. The cost of sales decrease is
due to the decrease in sales from the First Quarter Fiscal 2000 to the First
Quarter Fiscal 2001, offset by lower absorption of fixed overhead and production
costs. Gross profit margins for First Quarter Fiscal 2001 and First Quarter
Fiscal 2000 were 17.5% and 32.0%, respectively. The decrease in the gross profit
percentage is due to reduced sales combined with a lower absorption of fixed
overhead and production costs.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 23.3% to
$370,251 in First Quarter Fiscal 2001 from $300,255 in First Quarter Fiscal
2000. This increase is a result of an increase in commissions to sales
representatives for incremental sales programs.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating loss of
$155,022 for First Quarter Fiscal 2001, as compared to an operating profit of
$438,597 for First Quarter Fiscal 2000.

         Included in other income is $1,173,149 in income from settlement of a
lawsuit, net of fees, for First Quarter Fiscal 2001. The lawsuit was initiated
after a chemical supplier failed to supply the Company with raw material for
its manufacturing process, despite the existence of a signed five-year supply
contract. Lannett alleged that the breach of contract delayed the introduction
of one of its products into the marketplace. Consequently, the Company and the
defending party settled the suit out of court. The Company received
approximately $1.5 million in First Quarter Fiscal 2001.

         The Company incurred approximately $300,000 in legal fees relating to
the lawsuit. These fees were netted with the income received in First Quarter
Fiscal 2001.

         The Company's interest expense decrease from $232,291 in First Quarter
Fiscal 2000 to $208,536 in First Quarter Fiscal 2001 as a result of principal
repayments, and lower debt balances.

         The Company's income tax expense increased from $7,500 in First Quarter
Fiscal 2000 to $256,885 in First Quarter Fiscal 2001 as a result of the
Company's net operating loss valuation allowance being reduced to zero in the
prior year. Subsequent to this, the Company thereby reduces its deferred tax
benefit for current income tax expenses.

         The Company reported net income of $582,228 for First Quarter Fiscal
2001, $0.04 basic income per share, $0.04 on a diluted basis, compared to net
income of $230,242 for First Quarter Fiscal 2000, $0.04 basic income per share,
$0.02 on a diluted basis.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -

         Net cash provided from operating activities of $720,689 during First
Quarter Fiscal 2001 was attributable to net income of $582,228 as adjusted for
the effects of non-cash items of $426,855 and changes in operating assets and
liabilities totaling ($288,394). Significant changes in operating assets and
liabilities are comprised of: i) a decrease in accounts receivable of $584,404
due to better collection terms, and decreased sales, ii) an increase in
inventories of $776,223 due to increases in raw materials, and finished goods in
anticipation of increased sales levels in Fiscal 2001, and iii) an decrease in
prepaid expenses of $406,007 due primarily to the Company's settlement of a
lawsuit in which previously capitalized legal fees related to the suit were
charged to operations in First Quarter Fiscal 2001.

         The net cash used in investing activities consisted of $719,726
expended during First Quarter Fiscal 2001 primarily for machinery and equipment.
The Company has budgeted for $1,500,000 in capital expenditures in Fiscal 2001.
The anticipated additional capital expenditure requirements will support the
Company growth from new product introductions. As of September 30, 2000,
approximately $1,627,000 from the proceeds of the bonds issued during Fiscal
1999 was available in financing restricted for certain future capital
expenditures.

         The Company has a $4,250,000 revolving line of credit from a
shareholder who is also the Chairman of the Board ("Shareholder Line of
Credit"). At September 30, 2000, the Company has $4,225,000 outstanding and
$25,000 available under this line of credit. The maturity date on the
Shareholder Line of Credit was extended to October 1, 2001. Accrued interest at
September 30, 2000, and June 30, 2000 was $0 and $22,977, respectively.

         The Company also had a convertible debenture made available to it by
William Farber. The maturity date of the shareholder debenture was December 23,
1999. On December 22, 1999, William Farber elected to convert the debenture into
shares of common stock of the Company. The shareholder debenture and accrued
interest was convertible at the rate of 4,000 shares of common stock for each
$1,000 of outstanding indebtedness. The principal balance on the debenture at
the time of conversion was $2,000,000, and the interest on the debenture was
paid to date; therefore the transaction converted the $2,000,000 of indebtedness
to 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

         In April 1999, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the
"Agreement") with a governmental authority (the "Authority") to finance future
construction and growth projects of the Company. The Authority has issued
$3,700,000 in tax-exempt variable rate demand and fixed rate revenue bonds to
provide the funds to finance such growth projects pursuant to a trust indenture
(the "Trust Indenture"). A portion of the Company's proceeds from the bonds was
used to pay for bond issuance costs of approximately $170,000. The remainder of
the proceeds

                                       9

<PAGE>   10




were deposited into a money market account, which is restricted to
future plant and equipment needs of the Company as specified in the Agreement.
The Agreement requires the Company to repay the Authority loan through
installment payments beginning in May 2003 and continuing through May 2014, the
year the bonds mature. At September 30, 2000, the Company had $3,700,000
outstanding on the Authority loan, which is classified as a long-term liability.
In April 1999, an irrevocable letter of credit of $3,770,000 was issued by a
bank to secure payment of the Authority Loan and a portion of the related
accrued interest. At September 30, 2000, no portion of the letter of credit has
been utilized.

         In April 1999, the Company authorized and directed the issuance of
$2,300,000 in taxable variable rate demand and fixed rate revenue bonds pursuant
to a trust indenture between the Company and a bank as trustee (the "Trust
Indenture"). From the proceeds of the bonds, $750,000 was utilized to pay
deferred interest owed to the principal shareholder of the Company and
approximately $1,440,000 was paid to a bank to refinance a mortgage term loan
and equipment term loans. The remainder of the proceeds was used to pay bond
issuance costs of approximately $109,000. The Trust Indenture requires the
Company to repay the bonds through installment payments beginning in May 2000
and continuing through May 2003, the year the bonds mature. At September 30,
2000, the Company had $2,094,361 outstanding on the bonds, of which $681,663 is
classified as currently due. In April 1999, an irrevocable letter of credit of
approximately $2,349,000 was issued by a bank to secure payment of the bonds and
a portion of the related accrued interest. At September 30, 2000 no portion of
the letter of credit has been utilized.

         The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit from a bank. The line of
credit is due October 31, 2000, at which time the Company expects to renew and
extend the due date. The line of credit is limited to 80% of qualified accounts
receivable and 50% of qualified inventory. At September 30, 2000, the Company
had $829,986 outstanding under the line of credit, including $310,429 of
payments in transit not yet recorded by the bank. At September 30, 2000, the
Company had $1,170,014 available under the line of credit.

         The Company believes that cash generated from its operations and the
balances available under the Company's existing loans and lines of credit as of
September 30, 2000, are sufficient to finance its level operations and currently
anticipated capital expenditures.

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



                  PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE

         As of September 30, 2000, fifteen additional products are under
development. Four of these products are being developed and manufactured for
other companies; and the other eleven products are being developed as part of
the Lannett product line. Three of the Lannett products have been redeveloped
and submitted to the Federal Drug Administration ("FDA") for supplemental
approval. Five additional products represent previously approved Abbreviated New
Drug Applications ("ANDA's") which the Company is planning to reintroduce. The
other three Lannett products represent new products that the Company is planning
to introduce. Since the Company has no control over the FDA review process,
management is unable to anticipate when it will be able to begin producing and
shipping additional products.

                  YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue relates to limitations in computer systems and applications
that may prevent proper recognition of the Year 2000. The potential full effect,
if any, of the Year 2000 issue on the company and its business partners will not
be fully determinable until later. If problems related to the Year 2000 arise
(e.g. with significant suppliers, changes in demand, etc.) within the company or
entities with which the company conducts business, the company's revenues and
financial condition could be adversely impacted.






                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Regulatory Proceedings. The Company is engaged in an industry, which is subject
to considerable government regulation relating to the development, manufacturing
and marketing of pharmaceutical products. Accordingly, incidental to its
business, the Company periodically responds to inquiries or engages in
administrative and judicial proceedings involving regulatory authorities,
particularly the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Agency.


Employee Claim. A claim of retaliatory discrimination has been filed by a former
employee with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission ("PHRC"). The Company
has denied liability in this matter, which is being investigated by the PHRC
pursuant to its normal procedures. Management believes that the outcome will not
have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Company.

A claim of sexual harassment and retaliation also has been filed against the
Company by another former employee. The claim was cross-filed with the PHRC and
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which already has closed its
file on the charge. The Company has filed an answer with the PHRC denying the
charge, and the PHRC is investigating the claim pursuant to its normal
procedures. Management believes that the outcome of this charge also will not
have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Company.


DES Cases. The Company is currently engaged in several civil actions as a
co-defendant with many other manufacturers of Diethylstilbestrol ("DES"), a
synthetic hormone. Prior litigation established that the Company's pro rata
share of any liability is less than one-tenth of one percent. The Company was
represented in many of these actions by the insurance company with which the
Company maintained coverage during the time period that damages were alleged to
have occurred. The insurance company denied coverage of actions filed after
January 1, 1992. With respect to these actions, the Company paid nominal damages
or stipulated to its pro rata share of any liability. The Company has either
settled or is currently defending over 500 such claims. Management believes that
the outcome will not have a material adverse impact on the financial position of
the Company.
