NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

8. Stock Options

1994 Stock Option Plan

On October 18, 1994, the shareholders approved the 1994 Stock Option Plan
(the  1994 Plan ) which provides for issuance of up to 1,000,000 options to
acquire shares of the Company s authorized common stock.  The options are
intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options (statutory options) as defined
by the Internal Revenue Code or as Nonstatutory Stock Options.

Under the 1994 Plan, the Incentive Stock Options may be granted to key
employees of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the Nonstatutory
Stock Options may be granted to any key employee, officer, non-employee
director or consultant to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, with
the exception that Nonstatutory Stock Options may not be granted to a holder
of more than 10% of the total voting power of the Company.

The exercise price of all Incentive Stock Options must be at least equal to
the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant.  The exercise
price of all Nonstatutory Stock Options granted under the 1994 Plan shall be
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at the time of grant.  No
option granted shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
from the date of grant.

33,000 Incentive Stock Options exercisable at $9.25 per share.  During the
year ended June 30, 1996, the Company awarded 27 employees options to
purchase 675,000 shares, of which 496,789 were Incentive Stock Options and

shares were terminated.

Stock Options and Bonus Plans

The Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan") was adopted by
the Board of Directors on August 16, 1994 and by a majority in interest of
the stockholders of the Company on October 18, 1994.  The 1994 Plan
provides for the granting of up to 1,000,000 options which are intended to
qualify either as incentive stock options ("Incentive Stock Options") within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or as
options which are not intended to meet the requirements of such section
("Nonstatutory Stock Options").  The total number of shares of Common
Stock reserved for issuance under the 1994 Plan is 1,000,000.  Options to
purchase shares may be granted under the 1994 Plan to persons who, in
the case of Incentive Stock Options, are employees (including officers) of
the Company, or, in the case of Nonstatutory Stock Options, are
employees (including officers) or non-employee directors of the Company.

The 1994 Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
Directors, which has discretionary authority, subject to certain restrictions,
to determine the number of shares issued pursuant to Incentive Stock
Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options and the individuals to whom, the
time at which, and the exercise price for which options will be granted.

The exercise price of all Incentive Stock Options granted under the 1994
Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of such shares on the
date of the grant or, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to the
holder of more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock, at
least 110% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of the
grant.  The maximum exercise period for which Incentive Stock Options
may be granted is ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case
of an individual owning more than 10% of the Company's Common
Stock).  The aggregated fair market value (determined at the date of the
option grant) of shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by the holder of the options during any
calendar year shall not exceed $100.

1991 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan

The Company's 1991 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the "1991 Plan")
was adopted by the Board of Directors on November 25, 1991 and ratified
by a majority in interest of the stockholders of the Company on October
21, 1992.  The stated intent of the 1991 Plan is to induce persons of
outstanding ability and potential to join and remain with the Company and
to enable key employees, who make substantial contribution to the
Company, to acquire proprietary equity interests in the Company.

The Board of Directors chooses the Committee, whose members are
ineligible to receive stock awards under the 1991 Plan, to administer the
Plan. The Committee determines the employees to whom awards of
Common Stock will be granted and the amount, size and terms of each
such award.

A total of 465,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company were
reserved for issuance under the 1991 Plan, of which aggregate grants of
275,000 and 50,000 were awarded in November 1991 and March 1993,
respectively, at the respective values of $8.125 and $13.8125, being the
respective market value thereof on the date of the grant.  During the year
ended June 30, 1994, due to two resignations, grants totaling 27,500
shares were terminated and 82,250 shares were issued.  During the year
ended June 30, 1995, due to two resignations, 10,500 shares were
terminated and 71,125 shares were issued.  During the year ended June
30, 1996, due to eight terminations, grants totaling 47,000 shares were
terminated and 44,625 shares were issued.


Pension Plan

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan, fully paid for by
the Company, for the benefit of eligible employees. All non-union
employees become eligible for participation in the pension plan on
January 1 or July 1, as applicable, following completion of one year of
service.  161 persons were participants in the pension plan as of June 30,
1996.

A participant in the Company's pension plan will receive retirement
income based on .91% of his final average annual compensation, defined
in the pension plan as including salary, bonuses, overtime and
commissions, plus .52% of his final average annual compensation in
excess of Social Security covered compensation, multiplied by years of
credited service up to 35 years.  Years of service for benefit accrual
purposes are only after January 1, 1976.  Final average compensation is
defined in the pension plan as the average of a participant's total
compensation received during the highest paid five consecutive plan
years during the last 10 consecutive plan years immediately prior to
retirement.  A participant is 100% vested in his accrued pension benefit
after five years of service as defined in the plan.  The vested benefit of
many participants employed prior to October 31, 1989, are provided
through both the Purepac pension plan and the Solvay Group Pension
Plan, the predecessor Company's plan.

At June 30, 1996, the credited years of service under the pension plan for
Mr. Moldin was one.  Mr. Craker is not a participant in the pension plan.
    

Savings Plan

The Company has a savings plan, implemented as of January 1, 1990,
covering all non-union employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 
Under the savings plan, employees may defer up to 15% of their salary, to
a maximum of $9 per annum.  The Company makes an annual matching
contribution equal to 50% of an employee's contribution, not exceeding
6% of the employee's salary.  Matching contributions are vested at the
rate of 20% per annum commencing upon one year's participation in the
savings plan.  All vested amounts in a participant's account, including
earnings, may be distributed only following hardship, retirement, death,
permanent or total disability or termination of employment.

   
For the three year period ended June 30, 1996, the Company had
contributed an aggregate of $650 to the savings plan (net of
forfeitures of non-vested amounts), for the respective accounts of 193
participants.  None of such $650 has been credited to the accounts of
current executive officers.

President/CEO and Executive Officers Compensation

The Company's executive compensation program consists of three key
components: base salary, a cash incentive scheme and long term
incentives through the awards of restricted stock grants and stock options.
The incentive payments have two performance components, each with a 50%
weighting: (a) a financial budget achievement target based on net profit
before taxes and (b) achievement of specific job-related objectives.  The
underlying principle for the design and implementation of the Company's
incentive scheme is based on the concept that the Company commit in advance
to predetermined annual levels of performance.  Actual results achieved are
measured against that commitment.

The Company's long term incentives to date have been in the form of
restricted stock and stock option grants.  The object of this program has
been to advance the longer term interest of the Company and its
stockholders.  Equity compensation is an important element of the perfor-
mance-based compensation of the executive officers and helps to ensure
that management's interests remain closely aligned with those of the
Company's stockholders.  The Committee is of the view that Restricted
stock awards and stock option grants provide the Company's key
employees an opportunity for increased equity ownership and help to
create an incentive to remain with the Company for the long term, since
the grants vest over a four to six year period.
     
During the approximate five month period from January to July 17, 1995
Michael R.D. Ashton held the position of President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. His yearly salary as President of Faulding Services
Inc. had already been established, was not altered upon his acceptance of
additional responsibilities as President and CEO of the Company and was
paid by Faulding Services Inc.

   

On July 17, 1995, the Company appointed Richard F. Moldin as its President
and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Moldin's initial compensation package
reflected the Company's determination to recruit experienced executive officers
who had considerable experience in the pharmaceutical industry by offering them
compensation cometitive with that of health care companies of comparable size
and performance. He received an initial base salary of $285 and a grant
of 150,000 stock options under the 1994 Stock Option Plan.

Mr. Moldin received an additional grant of 50,000 stock options in April, 1996
and a cash incentive award of $105 in September, 1996.  His additional
compensation reflected the Committee's assessment of Mr. Moldin's leadership in
strengthening the position of the Company, his efforts in broadening the
Company's base of operations to include the generic injectable business and
his leadership contribution in implementing the Company's programs during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

$1,000 Limit On Tax Deductible Compensation

As part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act passed by Congress in
1993, a new limit has been created for the deductibility of compensation
paid to certain officers.  These officers are the Chief Executive Officer and
the next four most highly compensated officers in office at the end of the
year.  Compensation paid to these officers in excess of $1,000, that is
not performance-based, cannot be claimed by the Company as a tax
deduction.

    

It is the Committee's intention to continue to utilize performance-based
compensation.   Accordingly, these  regulations should not impact the
compensation paid by the Company to its officers.
