                                    Unaudited

A.    In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
      statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of only normal  recurring
      accruals)  necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position of Mylan
      Laboratories  Inc. and  subsidiaries  (the  "Company") as of September 30,
      2000, and March 31, 2000, together with the results of operations and cash
      flows for the interim  periods  ended  September 30, 2000,  and 1999.  The
      consolidated  results of  operations  for the three and six  months  ended
      September 30, 2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be
      expected for the full year.

B.    These interim financial  statements should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated  financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 2000
      Annual Report and Report on Form 10-K.

C.    Diluted  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing  net earnings
      available to common  shareholders  by the weighted  average  common shares
      outstanding  adjusted for the dilutive effect of options granted under the
      Company's stock option plans.  The effect of dilutive stock options on the
      weighted average common shares outstanding was 934,000 and 962,000 for the
      three  months  ending  September  30,  2000,  and 1999,  and  963,000  and
      1,068,000 for the six months ending September 30, 2000, and 1999.

      30, 2000, and 1999, are as follows: (in thousands)

      profit   represents   segment  gross  profit  less  direct   research  and
      development,  sales and marketing and administrative  expenses.  Corporate
      includes   legal   costs,   goodwill    amortization,    other   corporate
      administrative  expenses and other income and expense.  For the six months
      ended September 30, 2000,  Corporate  includes the expense of $147,000,000
      for the tentative  settlement of the Federal Trade Commission  ("FTC") and
      related litigation (See note F).

F.    A subsidiary of the Company was involved in a dispute with KaiGai
      Pharmaceuticals, Co., Ltd. ("KaiGai") relating to a license and supply
      contract for nitroglycerin transdermal patches which both parties claimed
      was breached by the other.  KaiGai sought damages in excess of
      $20,000,000. The dispute was subject to binding arbitration, and, in
      November 1999, the arbitration panel denied KaiGai's request for damages.
      KaiGai filed an appeal in U.S. District Court and the Company's motion to
      dismiss the appeal was granted based upon untimely and improper service
      of the appeal.  KaiGai has appealed the U.S. District Court's decision to
      the Court of Appeals, and the appeal is pending.

F.    (cont.) The Company had an agreement with Genpharm Inc. ("Genpharm") where
      it benefitted from the sale of ranitidine HCl tablets by Novopharm Limited
      ("Novopharm")  under a separate  agreement between Genpharm and Novopharm.
      Based on an  independent  audit,  Genpharm  initiated  a  lawsuit  against
      Novopharm to resolve contract interpretation issues and collect additional
      funds due. In response to Genpharm's suit,  Novopharm filed  counterclaims
      against  both  Genpharm  and  the  Company   claiming  damages  of  up  to
      $60,000,000.  The Company believes the counterclaims  against Genpharm and
      the Company are without merit and will vigorously defend its position.

      In June 1998,  the Company  filed suit in the Los Angeles  Superior  Court
      against  American  Bioscience,   Inc.  ("ABI"),   American  Pharmaceutical
      Partners,  Inc.  ("APP") and certain of their directors and officers.  The
      Company's  suit  sought  various  legal and  equitable  remedies.  The Los
      Angeles Superior Court issued a preliminary  injunction which, among other
      things, prohibited the defendants from transferring or disposing of funds,
      assets,   technology  or  property   without  the  Company's   consent  or
      commingling  assets,  property,  technology  or  personnel  with  those of
      another  company.  In June  1999,  the  defendants  filed an answer to and
      cross-complaint   against  the  Company.   The   cross-complaint   alleged
      violations  of  California  state  laws,   interference  with  contractual
      relations and prospective economic advantage,  fraud,  slander,  libel and
      other allegations. The cross- complainants sought unspecified compensatory
      and punitive damages.

      In August 2000, the Company entered into a settlement  agreement with ABI,
      APP and certain of their directors and officers.  The settlement  resulted
      in the  resolution of all  differences,  disputes and claims raised in the
      complaint  and  cross-complaint  mentioned  above.  Upon  settlement,  the
      Company received payment from ABI for its equity investment in VivoRx Inc.
      As defined in the settlement agreement, upon certain events and conditions
      the Company will  transfer to ABI all shares of the common stock of ABI it
      currently owns.

      On December 22, 1998,  the FTC filed suit in U.S.  District  Court for the
      District of Columbia against the Company.  The FTC's complaint alleges the
      Company   engaged  in  restraint  of  trade,   monopolization,   attempted
      monopolization  and  conspiracy  to  monopolize  arising  out  of  certain
      agreements  involving the supply of raw materials used to manufacture  two
      drugs.  The FTC also sued in the same case the foreign supplier of the raw
      materials,   the   supplier's   parent   company  and  its  United  States
      distributor.  Under  the  terms of the  agreements  related  to these  raw
      materials, the Company has agreed to indemnify these parties.

F.    (cont.)  The  Company is a party to other suits  involving  the  Attorneys
      General from 33 states and more than 25 putative class actions that allege
      the same conduct alleged in the FTC suit, as well as alleged violations of
      state consumer protection laws.

      A qui tam action was  commenced  by a private  party in the U.S.  District
      Court for the  District  of South  Carolina  purportedly  on behalf of the
      United  States  alleging  violations  of the  False  Claims  Act and other
      statutes.

      The relief  sought by the FTC includes an  injunction  barring the Company
      from engaging in the challenged  conduct,  recision of certain  agreements
      and disgorgement in excess of $120,000,000. The states and private parties
      seek similar  relief,  treble damages and  attorneys'  fees. The Company's
      motions to dismiss several of the private actions were granted.

      In July 2000,  the  Company  reached a tentative  agreement  to settle the
      actions brought by the FTC and the State Attorneys  General  regarding raw
      material  contracts for lorazepam and clorazepate.  The Company has agreed
      to pay $100,000,000,  plus up to $8,000,000 in attorneys' fees incurred by
      the States Attorneys General. The tentative settlement is subject to court
      approval and the approval of the FTC commissioners.

      In July 2000,  the Company  also  reached a tentative  agreement to settle
   private class action  lawsuits  filed on behalf of consumers and  third-party
   reimbursers related to the

      same facts  and  circumstances  at issue in the FTC and  States  Attorneys
           General  cases.  The Company has agreed to pay  $35,000,000 to settle
           the  third  party  reimburser  actions,  plus  up  to  $4,000,000  in
           attorneys'  fees  incurred by counsel in the  consumer  actions.  The
           tentative settlement is subject to court approval.

      In total, the Company has agreed to pay up to $147,000,000 to settle these
      actions.   The  tentative   settlements   also  include  three   companies
      indemnified by the Company - Cambrex  Corporation,  Profarmaco  S.r.l. and
      Gyma   Laboratories,   Inc.  Lawsuits  not  included  in  these  tentative
      settlements principally involve direct purchasers (such as wholesalers).

      A class action suit was filed  alleging  violations of federal  securities
      laws by the Company and certain  directors  and  officers of the  Company.
      Without specifying a dollar amount, the suit sought compensatory  damages.
      The Company's motion to dismiss the federal securities case was granted on
      December 22, 1999. The decision was affirmed on appeal.

F.    (cont.)  The  Company  believes  that it has  meritorious  defenses to the
      claims in the remaining  matters and will vigorously  defend its position.
      Should the tentative settlements not be finalized and approved, an adverse
      result  in the  continued  litigation  of those  cases  and the  remaining
      matters could have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  financial
      position and results of its operations.

                              PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Introduction

      Net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, were $33.5 million,
or $.27 per share,  compared to $37.1 million,  or $.28 per share,  for the same
prior year period.  Net earnings for the six month period then ended,  excluding
the $147.0  million  before tax effect of the tentative  settlement as described
below, were $51.5 million, or $.40 per share, compared to $69.0 million, or $.53
per share, for the same prior year period. Including the effect of the tentative
settlements,  net loss for the six months ended  September  30, 2000,  was $42.6
million, or $.33 per share.

The  Company  reached  a  tentative  settlement  with the FTC,  State  Attorneys
General,  and certain private parties  ("Tentative  Settlement") with regards to
lawsuits filed against the Company relating to raw material  contracts on two of
its products.  The decision to settle these lawsuits reduced the element of risk
and uncertainty  inherent in litigation and enabled the Company to better devote
its resources to the management of its business.

During the quarter  ended June 30, 2000,  the Company made a strategic  business
decision relating to the sales and marketing of its generic products. Within the
generic industry the buying patterns of certain classes of customers resulted in
a disproportionate  amount of their purchases to occur late in the quarter.  The
Company  indirectly  supported  this  practice  through  discount and  incentive
programs.   The  Company   decided  to  no  longer  support  this  practice  and
discontinued its related  incentive  programs.  While generic volume of products
shipped along with net sales and earnings  were  adversely  impacted  during the
three months ended June 30, 2000, the current three month period ended September
30, 2000,  resulted in more normal generic volume and the resultant  improvement
in net sales and earnings.

Results of Operations

Net Sales and Gross Profit

         Net sales for the three months ended  September  30, 2000,  were $207.6
million  compared to $194.5 million for the same prior year period,  an increase
of 7%. The  increase in net sales for this period is primarily  attributable  to
growth in the Generic Segment.

                       MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Generic net sales for the current year quarter were $175.3  million  compared to
$163.8 million for the same prior year period, an increase of 7%. Generic volume
of 2.173 billion doses was relatively unchanged from 2.135 billion doses for the
same  prior  year  period.   Increases   related  to  new  product   sales  were
approximately   $62.9  million,   with  $36.1  million  of  this  increase  from
nifedipine.  These  increases  were  offset  by  price  deterioration  on  other
products,  primarily  lorazepam and  clorazepate,  which decreased $19.5 million
from the same prior year period.

Net sales for the six months  ended  September  30,  2000,  were $374.8  million
compared to $371.6  million  for the same prior year  period.  Increases  in the
Branded Segment were partially offset by decreases in the Generic Segment.

Generic net sales for the current six month period were $312.0 million  compared
to $315.8  million  for the same prior year  period.  Increases  relating to new
product sales were  approximately  $116.0  million,  with $68.9 of this increase
from  nifedipine.  These increases were offset by price  deterioration  on other
products with lorazepam and clorazepate  decreasing  $40.8 million from the same
prior year period. Generic volume decreased 5% from 4.060 billion doses to 3.864
billion doses for the current six month period.  The decrease in generic  volume
primarily related to the change in sales and marketing  strategy  implemented in
the three month period ended June 30, 2000.

Branded  net sales were $32.3  million  and $62.8  million for the three and six
month  periods  ended  September  30, 2000,  compared to $30.7 million and $55.8
million  for the same  prior year  periods.  The  increases  from the prior year
periods  were  primarily   attributable   to  increased  sales  for  Digitek(R),
Acticin(R) and Mentax(R).

Gross profits were $96.3 million and $171.3  million for the three and six month
periods ended  September 30, 2000, a decrease of $14.5 million and $35.8 million
from the same  prior year  periods.  The  decreases  in gross  profits  for both
periods were mainly  attributable to the Generic  Segment.  Gross margins (gross
profit as a percent of net sales) decreased to 46% from 57% and 56% for the same
prior year three and six month periods. For the three and six month periods, the
decrease in gross margins to 42% and 41% for the Generic  Segment were primarily
related to price deterioration and significant nifedipine sales, which has lower
than normal  generic  gross  margins.  Generic  gross profit for the current six
month period was also affected by lower generic  volume from the prior six month
period.  Branded gross profits increased 1% and 9% for the current three and six
month periods over comparable prior year periods,  while gross margins decreased
from the prior year periods to 68% and 67% due primarily to product mix.

Research and Development

         Research and development  expenses for the three months ended September
30, 2000, were $17.3 million,  a $5.8 million increase over the same period last
year. For the six months

                                  -11-

<PAGE>

                     MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ended September 30, 2000, research and development  expenses were $33.8 million,
a $10.5 million increase over the same period last year.

Research and  development  increased  principally  due to increased  studies and
increased  license  expense   associated  with  the  execution  of  distribution
agreements.  Such expenses  contributed  $4.1 million to the current three month
period and $8.6 million for the current six month period. Additionally, research
and development  expenses incurred by the Branded Segment increased $2.3 million
and $3.0  million for the current  three and six month  periods  compared to the
same periods last year.

The  Company is actively  pursuing  joint  development  projects in an effort to
broaden its scope of capabilities in bringing to market new innovative products.
Such  arrangements  generally  provide for payments by the Company only upon the
attainment of certain  milestones.  While such  arrangements  help to reduce the
Company's financial risk for unsuccessful projects, attainment of milestones may
result in fluctuations in quarterly research and development expenses.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

         Selling and  administrative  expenses  were $38.2 million for the three
months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to $38.9 million for the same period
last  year.  For  the  six  months  ended   September  30,  2000,   selling  and
administrative  expenses were $77.3  million,  compared to $77.0 million for the
same prior year period. The decrease for the current three month period compared
to the same  period last year was mainly  attributable  to  decreased  legal and
professional  fees, which were partially offset by increased payroll and related
expenses.

Other Income

         Other income for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  was $11.6
million  compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the same prior year period.  The
Company  recognized  earnings of $11.2  million on its  investment  in a limited
partnership  compared to a loss of $8.5  million in the same prior year  period.
Other  income was also  impacted by higher  interest  rates on  investment  cash
balances and write downs on certain investments.

Other income for the six months ended  September  30,  2000,  was $22.2  million
compared to $2.8 million for the same prior year period.  The Company recognized
earnings of $16.0 million on its investment in a limited partnership compared to
a loss of $8.5 million in the same prior year period.  Other items that impacted
other  income for the current six months were the gain on the partial sale of an
investment, write downs on certain investments and higher interest rates on cash
investment balances.

Income Taxes

         The Company's effective tax rate of 36% remained  relatively  unchanged
from the same prior year periods and is expected to remain at approximately this
level throughout fiscal year 2001.

Other Factors

         The addition of nifedipine to the Company's product line resulted in an
increase  in finished  goods  inventory  due to  significant  purchases  of this
product from the supplier.

The tentative  settlement  with the FTC, State  Attorneys  General,  and certain
private parties  resulted in the increase in income tax benefits and also to the
increase in total current liabilities.

During the three month  period ended June 30, 2000,  the Company  completed  the
Stock Repurchase  Program  authorized and announced by the Board of Directors in
April  1997.  The  Company  repurchased  4,855,100  shares of  common  stock for
approximately $91.5 million.

The Company has initiated the consolidation of its Branded Segment.  In addition
to  strengthening  the management  team, the Branded  Segment will be relocating
certain functions from three current locations to one location in Raleigh, North
Carolina.  The  costs  associated  with the  consolidation  are  expected  to be
recognized over the next year.

Accounting Standards

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  133,   "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and Hedging  Activities".  The effective  date of this standard has
been  delayed to fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,  2000.  The Company is
currently  evaluating the  prospective  impact of this standard on its financial
position and results of operations.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101 - Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB No. 101").
The implementation date of SAB No. 101 has been delayed to the fourth fiscal
quarter of fiscal years after December 15, 1999.  The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of SAB No. 101 on its financial position and results of
operations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

         Working capital decreased to $456.6 million at September 30, 2000, from
$596.0  million  at March 31,  2000.  The  ratio of  current  assets to  current
liabilities decreased to 3.0 to 1

                                          -13-

<PAGE>

                         MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

at September 30, 2000, from 7.8 to 1 at March 31, 2000. The Tentative Settlement
and  the  completion  of the  Stock  Repurchase  Program  primarily  caused  the
significant change in the Company's current ratio.

The decrease in working capital was primarily  caused by the Company's net loss,
along with net fluctuations in accounts  receivable,  inventories,  income taxes
and other noncash  expenses  which  primarily  relate to earnings on its limited
partnership.  While the Tentative  Settlement  impacted working capital and cash
provided from operating activities,  the repositioning of certain investments in
anticipation  of the payment has resulted in the increase in cash  provided from
investing  activities.  The cash used for the completion of the Stock Repurchase
Program also affected working capital.

In July 2000,  the Company  entered  into a tentative  settlement  with the FTC,
State  Attorneys  General and certain  private  parties.  If the settlements are
approved,  the Company will pay up to $147.0  million from  currently  available
funds.

During the three month  period ended June 30, 2000,  the Company  completed  the
Stock Repurchase  Program  authorized and announced by the Board of Directors in
April  1997.  The  Company  repurchased  4,855,100  shares of  common  stock for
approximately $91.5 million through the use of currently available funds.

The result of the  payments  mentioned  above will affect the amount of interest
income the Company  may record in future  periods.  The Company  does not expect
these payments to adversely affect the future operation of its business.

The Company  continues to examine  opportunities  to expand its business through
product and company  acquisitions.  The Company's capital  resources,  financial
condition and results of operations could be materially  impacted if the Company
were to complete one or more of such acquisitions.

The  Company  believes  that it has  meritorious  defenses  to the claims in the
remaining litigation matters and will vigorously defend its position. Should the
tentative  settlements  not be finalized and approved,  an adverse result in the
continued  litigation  of those  cases and the  remaining  matters  could have a
material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  position  and results of
operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

      The  statements  set  forth in this  Item 2 under  Results  of  Operations
concerning  the  manner in which the  Company  intends  to  conduct  its  future
operations,  potential trends that may impact future results of operations,  and

in the erosion of prices of the Company's generic  pharmaceutical  products, the
Company's inability to obtain timely FDA approval for its new generic or branded
products,  the failure of the Company's  branded  products to find acceptance in
the marketplace,  continuing  litigiousness by branded manufacturers designed to
delay the  introduction of the Company's  generic  products,  the failure of the
parties  to  finalize  the   tentative   settlement   of  the  FTC  and  related
anti-competition  cases  against  the  Company,  the  failure of the  Company to
favorably  litigate or resolve the  remaining  cases that are not a part of such
tentative   settlement,   and  the  factors  described  under  "Forward  Looking
Statements"  in Item 7 of the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended March 31, 2000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      The  information  required by Item 3 has been  disclosed in Item 7A of the
Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000.  There
has been no material change in the disclosure regarding market risk.

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      Since the date of the filing of the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year  ended  March  31,  2000,  there  have been no  material  new legal
proceedings   involving  the  Company  or  any  material  developments  to  such
proceedings, except as described below.

A   subsidiary   of  the  Company  was   involved  in  a  dispute   with  KaiGai
Pharmaceuticals,  Co.,  Ltd.("KaiGai") relating to a license and supply contract
for nitroglycerin transdermal patches which both parties claimed was breached by
the other.  KaiGai  sought  damages in excess of  $20,000,000.  The  dispute was
subject to binding  arbitration,  and, in November 1999, the  arbitration  panel
denied  KaiGai's  request for damages.  KaiGai filed an appeal in U.S.  District
Court and the  Company's  motion to dismiss  the appeal was  granted  based upon
untimely  and  improper  service of the  appeal.  KaiGai has  appealed  the U.S.
District Court's decision to the Court of Appeals, and the appeal is pending.

In June 1998,  the Company filed suit in the Los Angeles  Superior Court against
American  Bioscience,  Inc.  ("ABI"),  American  Pharmaceutical  Partners,  Inc.
("APP") and certain of their  directors and officers.  The Company's suit sought
various legal and equitable  remedies.  The Los Angeles  Superior Court issued a
preliminary injunction which, among other things, prohibited the defendants from
transferring or disposing of funds,  assets,  technology or property without the
Company's consent or commingling assets, property,  technology or personnel with
those of another  company.  In June 1999, the defendants  filed an answer to and
cross-complaint  against the Company. The cross-complaint  alleged violations of
California state laws,  interference with contractual  relations and prospective
economic advantage,

                                      -15-

                        MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

fraud, slander, libel and other allegations.  The cross-complainants sought
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

In August 2000,  the Company  entered into a settlement  agreement with ABI, APP
and certain of their  directors and  officers.  The  settlement  resulted in the
resolution of all  differences,  disputes and claims raised in the complaint and
cross-complaint  mentioned above. Upon settlement,  the Company received payment
from ABI for its equity  investment in VivoRx Inc. As defined in the  settlement
agreement,  upon certain  events and conditions the Company will transfer to ABI
all shares of the common stock of ABI it currently owns.

On December 22, 1998, the FTC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia against the Company. The FTC's complaint alleges the Company engaged
in restraint of trade,  monopolization,  attempted monopolization and conspiracy
to  monopolize  arising out of certain  agreements  involving  the supply of raw
materials used to manufacture two drugs.  The FTC also sued in the same case the
foreign  supplier of the raw materials,  the  supplier's  parent company and its
United States  distributor.  Under the terms of the agreements  related to these
raw materials, the Company has agreed to indemnify these parties.

The Company is a party to other suits  involving the  Attorneys  General from 33
states and more than 25 putative  class  actions  that  allege the same  conduct
alleged  in the FTC  suit,  as well as  alleged  violations  of  state  consumer
protection laws.

A qui tam action was commenced by a private party in the U.S. District Court for
the  District  of South  Carolina  purportedly  on behalf of the  United  States
alleging violations of the False Claims Act and other statutes.

The relief  sought by the FTC  includes an  injunction  barring the Company from
engaging  in  the  challenged  conduct,   recision  of  certain  agreements  and
disgorgement  in excess of  $120,000,000.  The states and private  parties  seek
similar  relief,  treble damages and attorneys'  fees. The Company's  motions to
dismiss several of the private actions were granted.

      In July 2000,  the  Company  reached a tentative  agreement  to settle the
actions  brought  by the FTC and  the  State  Attorneys  General  regarding  raw
material contracts for lorazepam and clorazepate.  The Company has agreed to pay
$100,000,000,  plus up to $8,000,000  in attorneys'  fees incurred by the States
Attorneys General. The tentative settlement is subject to court approval and the
approval of the FTC commissioners.

      In July 2000,  the Company  also  reached a tentative  agreement to settle
   private class action  lawsuits  filed on behalf of consumers and  third-party
   reimbursers related to the same facts

and circumstances at issue in the FTC and States Attorneys General cases.  The
Company has agreed to pay $35,000,000 to settle the third party reimburser
actions, plus up to

                                      -16-

                   MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

$4,000,000 in attorneys' fees incurred by counsel in the consumer actions.
The tentative settlement is subject to court approval.

In total,  the  Company  has agreed to pay up to  $147,000,000  to settle  these
actions. The tentative  settlements also include three companies  indemnified by
the Company - Cambrex Corporation, Profarmaco S.r.l. and Gyma Laboratories, Inc.
Lawsuits not included in these tentative settlements  principally involve direct
purchasers (such as wholesalers).

A class action suit was filed alleging  violations of federal securities laws by
the  Company  and  certain  directors  and  officers  of  the  Company.  Without
specifying a dollar amount, the suit sought compensatory  damages. The Company's
motion to dismiss the federal  securities case was granted on December 22, 1999.
The decision was affirmed on appeal.

The  Company  believes  that it has  meritorious  defenses  to the claims in the
remaining matters and will vigorously defend its position.  Should the tentative
settlements  not be finalized and approved,  an adverse  result in the continued
litigation  of those  cases and the  remaining  matters  could  have a  material
adverse  effect  on  the  Company's   financial  position  and  results  of  its
operations.

The Company is involved in various other legal  proceedings  that are considered
normal to its business. While it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome
of such  proceedings,  it is the opinion of management that the outcome of these
suits  will not have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  operations,
financial position, or liquidity.

less than 97,545,984  votes for and no more than 17,501,290  votes withheld.  In
addition,  the shareholders approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as
the Company's  independent  auditors upon a vote of 114,244,398  for and 499,498
against and approved the Company's  Employee  Stock Purchase Plan upon a vote of
79,765,073 for and 33,369,789 against.

      (a)      Exhibit 27 - Financial Data Schedule

      (b)      Reports  on Form  8-K - On July 13,  2000,  the  Company  filed a
               report  on  Form  8-K  covering  Item  5  thereof  regarding  the
               announcement  of a  tentative  settlement  with  the  FTC,  State
               Attorneys General and certain private parties.
