5.	Accounting for Income Taxes
	
	The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109
        ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective July 1, 1993.
        Beginning with the adoption of SFAS 109, the income tax expense
        provision does not include the benefit of recognizing available loss
        carryforwards to the extent they have already been recognized as a
        deferred tax asset.  Instead, there will be a reduction in the deferred
        tax asset when such benefits are utilized to reduce taxes payable.

	Deferred income tax assets, both current and non-current, reflect the
        net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying
        amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
        the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating loss and
        tax credit carryforwards.

	The provision (benefit) for income tax expense was comprised of the

        The Company has net operating losses and tax credits available as
        carryforwards to reduce future payments of federal income taxes.
        State tax losses are also available as carryforwards.  At December 31,
        1995, for federal tax purposes, the net operating loss and tax credit
        carryforwards amounted to $13,048,000 and $707,000, respectively; they
        expire through 2003.  The future utilization of the net operating loss
        carryforwards is subject to limitation under provisions of the Internal
        Revenue Code.

        NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting For
        The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 121") which requires that
        long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
        changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
        may not be recoverable. To determine a loss, if any, to be recognized,
        the book value of the asset would be compared to the market value or
        expected future cash flow value.  The Company is required to adopt
        SFAS 121 for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 (fiscal
        year ended June 30, 1997 for the Company), although earlier
        implementation is permitted.  The Company is evaluating when it will
        adopt SFAS 121 and anticipates, based upon information currently
        available, that it will not have a material impact on its results of
        operations and financial position.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting For Stock Based Compensation"
("SFAS 123") which requires that an employer's financial statements include
expanded disclosure regarding stock-based employee compensation arrangements.
The Company is evaluating the requirements of SFAS 123, which must be adopted
by fiscal year 1997, and currently believes that SFAS 123 will not have a
material impact upon its results of operations or financial condition.


6.	Legal Settlement
	
Other income (expense) consists substantially of the settlement of an
outstanding litigation matter with respect of an ANDA filing lodged with the
FDA during 1995.  Under the agreement, effective December 31, 1995, the
proceeds will be received in three equal annual installments.


7.	Restructuring and Proposed Acquisitions

In October 1995, the Company made the decision to restructure certain aspects
of its business.  This restructure was considered necessary to prepare the
Company to be more competitive in the oral generic pharmaceutical industry.
Costs associated with this restructuring, including severance payments, were
incurred beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 and are expected
to total less than $1 million.  During the quarter such restructuring expenses
totaled $580,000.  This restructuring is expected to better position the
Company to integrate the proposed acquisitions from Faulding Holdings Inc.,
which were announced in August 1995.  These acquisitions are subject to
approval by the Company's stockholders which approval will be sought at the
February 29, 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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

Results Of Operations - Three and Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 1995
Compared with the Three and Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 1994

Net sales for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995 were
$14,522,000 and $28,689,000, respectively, compared with $15,477,000 and
$32,354,000 for the corresponding 1994 periods.  The declines in both periods
reflect lower sales of nifedipine and certain mature products.  The
nifedipine products accounted for 6% and 7% of net sales for both the
current three and six month periods, respectively, compared with 12% for
both corresponding prior periods.  The decrease in net sales is primarily
due to declines in selling prices and, to a lesser degree, volume reductions
of some products as a result of competitive pressure, and the absence of
newly approved product introductions during such period.

Gross profit for the current three and six month periods was $3,065,000 and
$5,577,000, respectively, compared with $3,937,000 and $8,135,000 for the
corresponding 1994 periods.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 21%
and 19% for the current three and six month periods, respectively, compared
with 25% for both corresponding prior periods.  The gross profit declines
were attributable to a combination of higher raw material costs and lower
selling prices for nifedipine and several other products.  Decreasing gross
profits, as well as net sales, can be expected to continue until such time
as Purepac receives FDA approvals for new products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current three and six
month periods of $2,560,000 and $4,815,000, respectively, increased over the
corresponding prior period expenses of $2,294,000 and $4,765,000, respectively.
The expenses as a percent of net sales were 18% and 17% for the current three
and six month periods, respectively, compared with 15% for both corresponding
1994 periods.  The increase in the expense level for the current three month
period reflects $580,000 of severance payments related to the Company's
restructuring plan.  (See "Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
Resources").

Research and development expenses for the current three and six month periods
were $2,596,000 and $4,546,000, respectively, compared with $1,480,000 and
$3,245,000 in the corresponding prior periods.  The expenses as a percent of
net sales were 18% and 16% for the current three and six month periods,
respectively, compared with 10% for both corresponding 1994 periods.
The upward trend in the expense levels for both the current and six month
periods reflects increased clinical expenses and additions of scientific
personnel.



                            Page 10


<PAGE>

Other income for the current three and six month periods was $1,681,000 and
$1,640,000, respectively, compared with other expense of $13,000 and $14,000
for the corresponding prior periods.  These increases are attributable to the
settlement of a litigation by the Company recorded in the quarter ended
December 31, 1995.  Also, other income (expense) reflects net interest
expense and revolving credit agreement fees in excess of interest income.

The net loss before preferred stock dividends for the current three and six
month periods were $252,000 and $1,329,000, respectively, compared with the
net income before preferred stock dividends of $95,000 and $70,000 for the
corresponding 1994 periods.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December
31, 1995 were adversely affected by both negative pricing pressures within
the oral generic pharmaceutical industry and delays in new product regulatory
approvals which did not allow the Company to offset those declines.  The
continuation of delays in new product approvals could adversely impact on
fiscal 1996 results.


FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had $764,000 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1995,
compared with $1,156,000 at June 30, 1995.  The decrease in the current six
month period of $392,000 resulted primarily from cash used for operating
activities of $2,585,000 and investments in property, plant and equipment of
$807,000 offset by $3,000,000 borrowed from a bank.

A comparison of the balance sheet accounts at December 31, 1995 to the June
30, 1995 balances shows the following to be noteworthy:

   Inventory increased by $1,091,000 primarily in raw materials in
   anticipation of increased production.

   Other current assets increased by $2,078,000 primarily due to the
   recording of a federal income tax receivable based on the Company
   carrying back the current period's net operating loss and secondarily
   due to the recording of a $583,000 current receivable related to a
   settlement of a lawsuit. (See Part II, Item I.  "Legal Proceedings").

   Other assets increased by $1,161,000 due to the recording of the non-
   current portion of the receivable related to the settlement of the above-
   mentioned lawsuit.

   Accounts payable increased by $2,678,000 reflecting the increased raw
   material purchases in the current quarter.




                            Page 11


<PAGE>


The accrued preferred dividend, payable to the Company's principal stockholder,
Faulding Holdings Inc., of $520,095 for the three month period ended December
31, 1995 was subsequently paid on January 2, 1996.

In October 1995, the Company made the decision to restructure certain aspects
of its business.  This restructure was considered necessary to prepare the
Company to be more competitive in the oral generic pharmaceutical industry.
Costs associated with this restructuring, including severance payments, were
incurred beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 1995 and are expected to
total less than $1 million.  During the quarter such restructuring expenses
totaled $580,000.  This restructuring is expected to better position the
Company to integrate the proposed acquisitions from Faulding Holdings Inc.,
which were announced in August 1995.  These acquisitions are subject to
approval by the Company's stockholders which approval will be sought at the
February 29, 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Company believes that its current cash resources, anticipated operating
cash flows and funds available under a revolving credit and loan arrangement
with a bank will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs for the next
24 months.  Depending upon the timing of the Company's cash flow requirements,
which is highly dependent upon the unpredictable timing of the receipt of FDA
product approvals, the future cash flow needs of the Company could exceed the
available credit under its existing credit facilities.  As of December 31,
1995, the Company had approximately $10.0 million of available borrowings
under its existing credit facilities.

In addition, it is not anticipated that the businesses it plans to acquire
("Acquisitions") will generate adequate revenues to finance their combined
operating expenses until at least 1998.  The Company expects to receive $15.0
million from the sale of additional preferred stock directly associated with
these Acquisitions.  Although proceeds from the preferred stock will be used
in substantial part for this purpose, additional funding is likely to be
required.  The   issuance of the preferred stock and the purchase of the
Acquisitions are subject to the approval by the Company's stockholders which
approval will be sought at the February 29, 1996 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders.

The use of the Company's credit facilities and other sources of capital to
finance any shortfalls in the cash flow needs of the Acquisitions would
diminish funding available to the Company to sustain or expand its current
business operations.  Consequently, there can be no assurance that the
Company's operating results will be sufficient to permit it to adequately
fund the Acquisitions, or that satisfying such financing obligations will
not adversely affect its ongoing business operations or its ability to
finance its current long range objectives.  Accordingly, the Company may be
forced to seek additional credit facilities or to seek additional funding
from sales of its securities or from other sources.




                            Page 12


<PAGE>

The Company anticipates that it would be able to increase its credit
facilities or obtain financing from other sources, should it require
additional cash flow to support the commercialization of new products
following receipt of FDA approval therefor.  However, there can be no
assurance that such financing will be available when required, if at all, or
will be available upon terms the Company may deem commercially reasonable.
