                  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 and nine months ended March 31,
    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, 1999.

Note 2.  New Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
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, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is in the process of analyzing the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 will have on its consolidated financial
position and results of operations when such statement is adopted.

Note 3. Inventories

    Inventories consist of the following:

Note 4. Income Taxes

     The provision for state income taxes for the nine months ended March 31,
2000 was $300. The provision for federal income taxes for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 of approximately $302,000 was eliminated by the
utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards, with the exception
of $11,448. Additionally, as of March 31, 2000, the Company reduced its
valuation allowance (related to federal net operating loss carryforwards) by
$502,000. This adjustment, along with the aforementioned utilization of loss
carryforwards, increased the net deferred tax asset on the Company's balance
sheet to $745,216 at March 31, 2000.


Note 5. Related Party Transactions

     The Company had sales of approximately $4,838,000 and $2,850,000 during
the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to a distributor
(the "related party") in which the owner is a relative of the Chairman of the
Board of Directors and principal shareholder of the Company. The Company also
paid sales commissions to the related party of approximately $47,000 during
the nine months ended March 31, 2000. Accounts receivable includes amounts
due from the related party of approximately $11,000 and $408,000 at March 31,
2000 and June 30, 1999, respectively. Accrued expenses includes amounts due
to the related party of approximately $53,000 and $0 at March 31, 2000 and
June 30, 1999, respectively.

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

Results of Operations.

         In addition to historical information, this Form 10-QSB contains
forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained herein
is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in the following section entitled "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition."
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date of this
Form 10-QSB. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise or
update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
which arise later. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described
in other documents the Corporation files from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual report on Form
10-KSB filed by the Corporation in Fiscal 1999, and any Current Reports on
Form 8-K filed by the corporation.

         Results of Operations - Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
with three months ended March 31, 1999.

         Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 ("Third Quarter
Fiscal 2000") increased by 13.7% to $3,207,215 from net sales of $2,820,526
in the three months ended March 31, 1999 ("Third Quarter Fiscal 1999). Sales
increased during Third Quarter Fiscal 2000 due to increased sales of the
Company's Over-The-Counter ("OTC") product line, offset partially by a
decrease in sales of the Company's prescription products. OTC sales increased
by approximately $881,000 from Third Quarter Fiscal 1999 to Third Quarter
Fiscal 2000. Prescription sales decreased by approximately $494,000 from
Third Quarter Fiscal 1999 to Third Quarter Fiscal 2000.

         Cost of sales increased by 13.8% to $2,227,107 in Third Quarter
Fiscal 2000 from $1,956,578 in Third Quarter Fiscal 1999. The cost of sales
increase is due to the increase in sales from the Third Quarter Fiscal 1999
to the Third Quarter Fiscal 2000. Gross profit margins for Third Quarter
Fiscal 2000 and Third Quarter Fiscal 1999 were both 30.6%.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 18.6% to
$358,737 in Third Quarter Fiscal 2000 from $302,443 in Third Quarter Fiscal
1999. This increase is due to sales commissions of approximately $126,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, offset partially by a decrease in
employee benefits and other administrative expenses.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating
profit of $483,612 for Third Quarter Fiscal 2000, as compared to an operating
profit of $390,581 for Third Quarter Fiscal 1999.

         The Company's interest expense increased slightly to $188,303 in
Third Quarter Fiscal 2000 from $182,821 in Third Quarter Fiscal 1999. This
increase was offset by interest income of $34,740 relating to the Company's
bond sinking fund. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

         The Company reported net income of $426,101 for Third Quarter Fiscal
2000, $0.03 basic income per share, $0.03 on a diluted basis, compared to net
income of $200,644 for Third Quarter Fiscal 1999, $0.04 basic income per
share, $0.01 on a diluted basis.


                                      8


Results of Operations - Nine months ended March 31, 2000 compared with Nine
months ended March 31, 1999.

         Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 increased by
14.4% to $9,063,130 from net sales of $7,924,523 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999. Sales increased due to increased sales of the Company's
Over-The-Counter ("OTC") product line, offset partially by a decrease in
sales of the Company's prescription products. OTC sales increased by
approximately $3,438,000 from the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to the
nine months ended March 31, 2000. Prescription sales decreased by
approximately $2,300,000 from the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to the
nine months ended March 31, 2000.

         Cost of sales increased by 20.8%, to $6,219,297 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 from $5,147,183 for the nine months ended March 31,
1999. The cost of sales increase is due to the increase in unit sales from
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
Due to changes in the product sales mix and competitive pricing erosion, the
increase in cost of sales from the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to the
nine months ended March 31, 2000 was higher than the increase in sales from
the nine months ended March 31, 1999 to the nine months ended March 31, 2000.
Gross profit margins for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 and the nine
months ended March 31, 1999 were 31.4% and 35.0%, respectively. The decrease
in the gross profit percentage is due to changes in the product sales mix.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 20.1% to
$1,033,706 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 from $860,802 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1999. This increase is due mainly to increased
sales commissions and professional fees expenses.

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported an operating
profit of $1,405,867 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to
an operating profit of $1,415,463 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

         The Company's interest expense increased to $644,574 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2000 from $605,387 for the nine months ended March 31,
1999, primarily due to interest related to the Company's revenue bond debt.
This increase was offset by interest income of $88,232 relating to the
Company's bond sinking fund. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

         The Company reported net income of $1,037,777 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000, $0.08 basic income per share, $0.08 on a diluted basis,
compared to net income of $762,960 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
$0.15 basic income per share, $0.05 on a diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources -

         Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,562,800 during the
nine months ended March 31, 2000 was attributable to net income of $1,037,777
as adjusted for the effects of non-cash items of $301,325 and changes in
operating assets and liabilities totaling $223,698.

         The Company expended $384,230 for property, plant and equipment
during the nine months ended March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2000,
approximately $2,510,000 from the proceeds of the bonds issued during Fiscal
1999 was available in financing restricted for certain future capital
expenditures.

         The Company has a financing facility made available to it by William
Farber, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors which
consists of a $4,250,000 revolving line of credit ("Shareholder Line of
Credit"). The principal balance on the Shareholder Line of Credit was
extended to October 1, 2001. At March 31,

                                      9



2000, interest accrued to date was paid in full. At March 31, 2000, the
Company had $4,225,000 outstanding and $25,000 available under the
Shareholder Line of Credit.

         The Company also had a convertible debenture made available to it by
William Farber, a principal shareholder and Chairman of the Board of
Directors. 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 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 March 31,
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 March 31, 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 March 31,
2000, the Company had $1,769,373 outstanding on the bonds, of which $678,333
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, the
Company had $825,227 outstanding and $1,174,773 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 March 31, 2000, are sufficient to finance its level of 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.

                                     10


                  Prospects for the Future

         As of March 31, 2000 ten additional products are under development.
Three of these products are being developed and manufactured for another
company, while the other seven products are being developed as part of the
Lannett product line. One of the Lannett products has been redeveloped and
submitted to the Federal Drug Administration ("FDA") for supplemental
approval. Three additional products represent previously approved Abbreviated
New Drug Applications ("ANDA") that the Company is planning to reintroduce.
The remaining three items represent new products which the Company is
planning to introduce. Since the Company has no control over the FDA review
process, management is unable to anticipate with certainty when it will
commence 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.

shares of common stock at $1.38 per share, $3.78 per share, $4.38 per share
and $1.13 per share, respectively, were outstanding at March 31, 2000, but
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to
do so would be antidilutive. These securities could potentially be dilutive
in the future.
