         This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the
"Statement") is being filed jointly by Faulding Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), Faulding Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"),
and F H Faulding & Co Limited, an Australian corporation ("Parent"). Holdings is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Statement relates to the filing by the
Company of a preliminary Proxy Statement (including all schedules and annexes
thereto, the "Preliminary Proxy Statement") in connection with, inter alia, an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation providing for the
recapitalization of the Company (the "Recapitalization"), pursuant to which the
Company will effect a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") whereby
each 7,924,385 issued shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock") will be combined into one validly issued share of new
common stock of the Company (the "New Common Shares"), and each stockholder who
or which immediately prior to the effective time of the Recapitalization was a
holder of less than 7,924,385 shares of Common Stock will be entitled to receive
$13.50 per share of Common Stock in cash (the "Recapitalization Amendment"),
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of
Recapitalization by and among the Company, Holdings and Parent dated as of
September 29, 1997 (the "Recapitalization Agreement"). The Reverse Stock Split
will cause the Common Stock, which is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be held of record by less than
300 persons.

         Concurrently with the filing of this Statement, the Company is filing
with the Commission the Preliminary Proxy Statement, a copy of which is
incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, including all schedules and
annexes thereto. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Preliminary Proxy Statement.

         The cross-reference sheet below is being supplied pursuant to General
Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3 and shows the location in the Company's
Preliminary Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in

SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION BETWEEN FAULDING INC. AND F.H. FAULDING & CO. LIMITED

  Structure:

  On June 3, 1997, F.H. Faulding & Co. Limited ("FHF") initially proposed to
  purchase all of the Faulding Inc. common shares that it does not own for
  $12.00 per share in cash.

  As of June 3, 1997, FHF owned approximately 43% of the approximately 15
  million common shares of Faulding Inc. and approximately 73% of such common
  shares on a fully diluted basis reflecting the conversion of the Class A and
  Class B preferred stock held by FHF.

  On June 30, 1997, FHF converted all of its Class A preferred stock to 5.0
  million shares of common stock.

  On September 23, 1997 FHF raised its proposed purchase price to $13.50 in
  cash.

  The $13.50 per share offer represents the following premiums to Faulding
  Inc.'s market price prior to the offer date of June 3, 1997:

Faulding Inc.

The forecasted financials used for valuation purposes incorporate the Faulding
Inc. June 30, 1997 forecast presented to the Special Committee on July 1, 1997.
These financials were updated based upon a July 25, 1997 discussion of
market conditions by the management of Faulding Inc. with the Special
Committee. The changes in the forecasts as provided by management were as
follows:

     An expected delay in the launch of three pending generic products and the
     accelerated launch of one product.

     A reduction in sales and gross profit for pentoxyfilline expected in FY
     1998 and FY 1999 due to an increase in competitive entrants with
     FDA-approved generic products.

     An increase to 100% in the launch probability of those products
     successfully launched since the management forecast was first prepared.

     A decrease in contribution from other specified products experiencing
     increased market competition or poorer than anticipated demand.

Faulding Inc.

  The discounted cash flow analysis reflects the forecasts presented by Faulding
  Inc. management to the Special Committee on July 1, 1997, adjusted to reflect
  market conditions discussed by Faulding Inc. management with the Special
  Committee on July 25, 1997.

  The discounted cash flow analysis calculates the cash flows and terminal
  values for three and five years.

  While the Company management's forecasts extend for five years to fiscal year
  ended June 30, 2002, the different valuation ranges resulting from the three
  and five year discounted cash flow calculations were considered in light of:

       The highly uncertain nature of the launch success, competitive
       environment and profitability of the generic industry generally


       The fact that the Company has not yet commenced significant development
       work on several of the generic products that are expected to contribute
       to Faulding Inc.'s cash flows in years four and five pursuant to the
       forecasts prepared by Faulding Inc.'s management.

  The multiples paid in completed merger and acquisition transactions in the
  generics industry were considered in  the valuation of the shares of Faulding
  Inc. in light of the fact that there has been negative pressure in valuations
  of mid to smaller sized multi-source generic companies, evidenced by the

OVERVIEW OF DILLON READ ROLE AND PROCESS

         Dillon Read has been retained by WINSTON to evaluate the potential of
         acquiring the minority stake of its publicly held U.S. subsidiary
         ("SUB")

         This presentation reviews Dillon Read's preliminary valuation analysis
         of SUB

         As part of its valuation review Dillon Read has:

         -        Met with management of SUB to preliminary review SUB's
                  business plan

         -        Preliminary identified certain issues regarding the
                  projections which are outlined on the following pages

         This is a preliminary valuation and as such does not represent Dillon
         Read's final thoughts on SUB's valuation

================================================================================

OVERVIEW OF DILLON READ ROLE AND PROCESS

         DILLON READ UTILIZED THE FOLLOWING VALUATION METHODOLOGIES TO
         PRELIMINARILY VALUE SUB:

         -        Historical Stock Price Performance

         -        Comparable Company Analysis

         -        Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

         -        Premiums Paid in Minority Squeeze-Outs

         AN ADDITIONAL VALUATION METHODOLOGY OFTEN EMPLOYED IS A PRO FORMA
         ACCRETION (DILUTION) ANALYSIS WHICH MEASURES THE IMPACT OF THE
         ACQUISITION ON THE ACQUIROR'S EARNINGS

         -        Dillon Read understands that WINSTON has performed such an
                  analysis

         -        For obvious reason, boards are often cautious about
                  acquisitions that may result in significant earnings dilution

         -        However, boards may determine, and the "market" has accepted,
                  dilution from an acquisition, provided the acquisition makes
                  strategic sense and can reasonably be expected to produce
                  accretion to earnings in the near term
