A.   In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
     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 June 30,
     2000,  together with the results of operations and cash flows for the three
     months  ended  June  30,  2000,  and  1999.  The  consolidated  results  of
     operations  for the three months ended June 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 993,000 and 1,173,000 for
     the three months ended June 30, 2000, and 1999.

D.   Total  comprehensive  income for the three months ended June 30, 2000,  and
     1999, is as follows: (in thousands)

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 and the  Company's  motion to dismiss the appeal was  granted  based
     upon timely and improper service of the appeal.

     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 seeks various legal and equitable remedies.  The Los Angeles
     Superior  Court issued a preliminary  injunction  order which,  among other
     things,  prohibits 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  alleges  violations of California state
     laws,  interference  with  contractual  relations and prospective  economic
     advantage,    fraud,   slander,   libel   and   other   allegations.    The
     cross-complainants seek unspecified  compensatory and punitive damages. The
     Company  believes  the  cross-complaint  is  without  merit and  intends to
     vigorously defend its position.

     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

F.   (cont.)  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.

     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 appealed.  An oral argument  concerning
     the appeal was heard by the court on July 20, 2000.

     In February 2000, the Company  received notice of threatened  litigation by
     another generic  manufacturer.  The potential complaint is based on similar
     factors  alleged in the FTC  litigation  relating  to the  generic  product
     clorazepate.

     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  proposed  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

F.   (cont.)  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 proposed  settlement  is
     subject to court approval.

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

     The Company believes that it has meritorious  defenses to the claims in the
     remaining  matters  and will  vigorously  defend its  position.  Should the
     proposed  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.

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

Introduction

      Net earnings for the quarter  ended June 30,  2000,  excluding  the $147.0
million  before tax effect of the tentative  litigation  settlement,  were $18.0
million,  or $.14 per  diluted  share.  Including  the  effect of the  tentative
litigation  settlement,  net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, was $76.1
million,  or $.59 per  diluted  share,  compared to $32.0  million,  or $.25 per
diluted share, for the same quarter a year ago.

The Company reached tentative settlements with the FTC, State Attorneys General,
and  certain  private  parties  (the  "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,  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 has decided to no longer
support this practice and has discontinued its related incentive programs.  This
decision is expected to favorably impact the Company through:  improved customer
service levels, decreased levels of products on backorder and decreased expenses
associated with filling these  backorders,  and increased net sales, on the same
level of orders,  through the reduction of discounts and incentive programs. The
Company  believes the impact of this decision will not materially  impact future
quarters and generic volume will return to more normal levels.

Company's operating segments: (dollars in millions)

Results of Operations
----------------------
Net Sales and Gross Profit

     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, were $167.3 million compared
to $177.1 million for the same quarter a year ago. The majority of this decrease
resulted  from the  decision  relating  to the sales and  marketing  of  generic
products  as  previously  described.  Generic  volume  for the  current  quarter
decreased  approximately  12%  compared  to the same  quarter a year ago.  Price
deterioration  continues to contribute to lower net sales,  with clorazepate and
lorazepam still experiencing  significant  downward pricing pressure.  Net sales
for  clorazepate  and lorazepam  decreased  approximately  $21.2 million for the
current  quarter  compared to the same quarter a year ago. These  decreases were
partially  offset by products  launched  subsequent to June 30, 1999,  primarily
nifedipine,  amounting  to  approximately  $54.1  million  in net  sales for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000.

Generic gross margins (gross profit as a percent of net sales)  decreased to 40%
for the current quarter from 52% for the same quarter a year ago. This is mainly
attributable  to the sale of  nifedipine,  which has lower than  normal  generic
gross  margins,  lower generic  volume,  and price  deterioration  as previously
mentioned.

For the  Branded  Segment,  net  sales  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2000,
increased  from $25.2  million for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  to $30.6
million.  The  increase in net sales  resulted  primarily  from the  addition of
Digitek(R) and increased sales related to dermatology products. Gross profit for
the current quarter remained consistent with the prior comparable quarter.

Research and Development

     Research and development  expenses were $16.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2000,  compared to $11.8  million for the same quarter a year ago. Such
increase  reflects  increased  costs  associated  with  additional  studies  and
includes the cost associated  with the execution of a distribution  agreement in
the current quarter.

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 $39.1  million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000,  compared to $38.1 million for the same quarter a year ago.
Increases in payroll and payroll  related  expenses for the Branded Segment were
partially  offset by decreases in payroll and payroll  related  expenses for the
Generic Segment.

Equity in loss of Somerset

     The equity in loss of Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the current quarter
is primarily  the result of lower sales and increased  research and  development
expenses as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Other Income

     Other income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, was $10.7 million, up
from $3.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. This  increase  resulted from
increased earnings on the Company's investment in a limited  partnership,  gains
realized on the partial sale of an investment, and increased interest income due
to higher interest rates and higher average investment cash balances.

Income Taxes

     The Company's effective tax rate was 36% for the quarter ended June 30,
2000, 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
increases  in  trade  accounts  payable  and  finished  goods  inventory  due to
significant  purchases  during  the  quarter.   Finished  goods  inventory  also
increased  due to the  Company's  decision  to change its  approach to sales and
marketing within its Generic Segment.

The Tentative  Settlement resulted in the increase in income tax benefits and to
the increase in total current liabilities.

The Company completed the Stock Repurchase  Program,  authorized by the Board of
Directors in April 1997, which resulted in a decrease of cash and an increase in
treasury stock.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

         Working  capital  decreased to $424.2  million at June 30,  2000,  from
$599.0  million  at March 31,  2000.  The  ratio of  current  assets to  current
liabilities  decreased to 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 2000,  from 7.8 to 1 at March 31,
2000. The significant change in the Company's current ratio was primarily caused
by the Tentative Settlement and the completion of the Company's Stock Repurchase
Program.

The decrease in working  capital was primarily  caused by the Company's net loss
along with the net fluctuations in accounts  receivable,  inventories,  accounts
payable  and  income  taxes.  The  significant  fluctuations  in these  accounts
primarily related to the tax impact of the Tentative  Settlement,  the sales and
marketing  decision regarding generic products and the addition of nifedipine to
the Company's  product line.  Working capital was also affected by the cash used
for the completion of the Stock Repurchase Program.

For the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2000,  the  Company  entered  into  tentative
settlement  agreements with the FTC, State Attorneys General and certain private
parties  with regard to  lawsuits  filed  against  the  Company  relating to raw
material contracts on two of its products. If the settlements are approved,  the
Company will pay up to $147.0 million from currently available funds.

During the current quarter,  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 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 matters and will vigorously  defend its position.  Should the proposed
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.

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
its  beliefs  or  expectations  about  future  operations  are   forward-looking
statements. The Company may be unable to realize its plans and objectives due to
various important factors, including, but not limited to, an acceleration 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 claim 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 and the Company's
motion to dismiss the appeal was granted based upon timely and improper  service
of the appeal.

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.

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 appealed.  An oral argument  concerning the appeal was heard by
the court on July 20, 2000.

In February  2000,  the Company  received  notice of  threatened  litigation  by
another  generic  manufacturer.  The  potential  complaint  is based on  similar
factors  alleged  in  the  FTC  litigation   relating  to  the  generic  product
clorazepate.

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 proposed 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 proposed settlement is subject
to court approval.

                    MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

The  Company  believes  that it has  meritorious  defenses  to the claims in the
remaining matters and will vigorously  defend its position.  Should the proposed
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.
