1.   General

       The   accompanying   consolidated  condensed  financial   statements
include    all   adjustments   (consisting   only   of   normal   recurring
accruals)   which   are,   in   the  opinion  of   management,   considered
necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  the  results  for  the   periods
presented.     These    financial   statements   should    be    read    in
conjunction   with   the   consolidated  financial   statements   of   A.L.
Pharma   Inc.   and   Subsidiaries   included   in   the   Company's   1994
Annual   Report  on  Form  10-K.   The  reported  results   for   the   six
month   period   ended  June  30,  1995  are  not  necessarily   indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.   Acquisition of A.L. Oslo and Restatement

       As  reported  in  the  Company's  1994  Form  10-K,  on  October  3,
1994    the   Company   completed   the   acquisition   of   the    Related
Norwegian    Human    Pharmaceutical   and   Animal    Health    Businesses
("A.L. Oslo") of its controlling shareholder, A.L. Industrier AS.

       The  Company  was  required  to  account  for  the  acquisition   of
A.L.   Oslo   as   a   transfer  and  exchange  between   companies   under
common   control.    Accordingly,  the   accounts   of   A.L.   Oslo   were
combined  with  the  Company  at  historical  cost  in  a  manner   similar
to   a   pooling-of-interests  and  the  Company's   financial   statements
for   all   periods   prior  to  December  31,  1994   were   restated   to
include A.L. Oslo.
       The  results  of  operations  as  reported  in  the  Company's  Form
10-Q   for   the  quarter  and  six  months  ended  June  30,   1994   were
restated as follows:
                                   Three Months   Six Months
                                       Ended         Ended

       Eliminations (a)               (3,814)        (8,726)
                                     $110,958       $218,338

     Net income
       June 30, 1994 Form 10Q         $2,170          $4,827
       A.L. Oslo                         735           1,779

                                      $2,807          $6,358

          (a)Prior to the combination there were transactions
          between  the Company and A.L. Oslo such  as  sales,
          commissions and license fees.  As a result  of  the
          combination  such transactions became  intercompany
          and have been eliminated.

3.   Business and Product Line Acquisition:

      In  July 1994, the Company acquired the Wade Jones  Company
Inc. ("Wade Jones") headquartered in Lowell, Arkansas. Wade Jones
is a major distributor of poultry animal health products and also
manufactures and blends certain animal health products.

      Had the acquisition of Wade Jones occurred as of January 1,
1994 pro forma revenues would have been $117,035 and $230,600 for
the  three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994. There would
have been no material effect on net income or earnings per share.

     The foregoing pro forma information is presented in response
to  applicable accounting rules relating to business acquisitions
and  is not necessarily indicative of results of operations  that
would  have  been reported had the acquisition been completed  at
the beginning of 1994.

4.   Inventories

     Inventories consist of the following:

                                   June 30,     December 31,

      Total  revenue increased $31.6 million (14.5%) in  the  six
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  Operating income in
1995 was $23.2 million, an increase of $6.3 million, compared  to
1994.  Net income was $7.0 million ($.32 per share fully diluted)
compared to $6.4 million ($.29 per share fully diluted) in  1994.
The   Company   operates   in   two  business   segments,   Human
Pharmaceuticals and Animal Health.

      The  Human  Pharmaceuticals Segment ("HPS")  accounted  for
slightly  less  than half of the consolidated  revenue  increase.
The  International Pharmaceuticals Division ("IPD") accounted for
the  major  portion  of the HPS revenue increase.   IPD  revenues
increased  due to volume growth in Northern Europe and Indonesia,
the  translation of sales in Norwegian Kroner ("NOK") and  Danish
Kroner  ("DKK")  into the U.S. dollar and, to  a  lesser  extent,
selected  price increases where permitted. Current pricing  in  a
number  of  European  markets  continues  to  be  suppressed   by
legislation enacted to contain pharmaceutical costs. Sales by the
Fine   Chemicals  Division  ("FCD")  of  bulk  antibiotics   were
approximately the same as in 1994.

      Revenues  increased marginally in the U.S.  Pharmaceuticals
Division ("USPD") due to price increases achieved on a number  of
products  and sales of products introduced in late 1994 including
Cimetidine   HCL   Solution,  Clobetasol  Cream   and   Ointment,
Clemastine  Fumerate Syrup and Miconazole Vaginal  Suppositories.
The  revenue increases were substantially offset by a decline  in
the  volume  of cough and cold products due to an unusually  mild
flu  season, as well as the discontinuance of products containing
iodinated glycerol in July of 1994.

      Animal Health Segment revenues increased primarily  due  to
the acquisition of the Wade Jones Company, Inc. in July 1994.  In
addition,  revenue  increases  were  recorded  due  to  sales  of
products   made  pursuant  to  a  poultry  products  distribution
agreement  signed in July 1994 with Merck AgVet.  Offsetting  the
increases,  sales  volume  of  BMDr  to  the  swine  market   was
negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions experienced by
pork  producers.  The Aquatic Animal Health Division's  sales  of
fish  vaccines were lower than 1994 due to changes in the  timing
of   vaccination  practices  by  fish  producers  and   increased
competition in the Norwegian salmon farming market.

     On a consolidated basis gross profit increased $14.4 million
and  the  gross margin percent increased marginally to  42.1%  in
1995 compared to 41.6% in 1994.

      Gross profit dollars in the HPS accounted for a substantial
amount  of  the  dollar  increase due to increased  sales  volume
(especially  by  the  IPD), the effect of  translation  of  gross
profits  in DKK and NOK into U.S. Dollars for both IPD and  to  a
lesser extent, FCD, and selected price increases. Gross profit in
dollars  for USPD increased primarily due to price increases  and
improved marginally in percent.  USPD continues to be affected by
positive  factors including higher value-added new  products  and
raw material price stability which are offset by negative factors
including  continued  high  production  and  operating  costs  to
maintain  compliance with "Current Good Manufacturing  Practices"
("CGMP")  and lower than budgeted volume in certain plants  which
results in unabsorbed overhead.

      Gross profit dollars in the Animal Health Segment increased
at a rate less than the sales increase.  The gross profit percent
declined  due to sales increases attributable to the  Wade  Jones
Company,  Inc.,  a distributor to the poultry market,  and  sales
made  pursuant  to a poultry product distribution agreement  with
Merck AgVet.  The composition of Animal Health Division sales has
changed  with  the addition of these two distribution  businesses
which have lower gross margins.  In addition, gross profits  were
negatively affected due to lower volume of high gross margin fish
vaccine sales.

      Operating  expenses on a consolidated basis increased  $8.0
million   or  10.9%  compared  to  the  14.5%  revenue  increase.
Operating  expenses  increased due to  variable  selling  expense
increases,  additional  research and  development  expenses,  the
acquisition of the Wade Jones Company, Inc. in July 1994 and  the
effect of translating NOK and DKK expenses into U.S. Dollars.  In
addition, the first half of 1994 included $.5 million of expenses
related  to  the combination with A.L. Oslo which was consummated
in October 1994.

      Operating  income  increased $6.3 million  primarily  as  a
result  of increased sales volume and price increases which  were
offset  to some extent by increased operating expenses. Operating
income  as a percentage of sales increased to 9.3% from 7.7%  due
to  an improved gross margin percent and lower operating expenses
as a percent of sales.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1995

      Total revenue increased $12.9 million (11.6%) in the  three
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to 1994.  Operating income in
1995 was $10.4 million, an increase of $2.6 million, compared  to
1994.  Net income was $3.1 million ($.14 per share fully diluted)
compared to $2.8 million ($.13 per share fully diluted) in 1994.

      The  Animal Health Segment accounted for more than half  of
the   consolidated  revenue  increase  primarily   due   to   the
acquisition  of the Wade Jones Company, Inc. in  July  1994.   In
addition revenue increases were recorded due to sales of products
made pursuant to a poultry products distribution agreement signed
in  July  1994 with Merck AgVet. Offsetting the increases,  sales
volume   of  BMDr  was  negatively  impacted  by  adverse  market
conditions experienced in the second quarter. The Aquatic  Animal
Health Division's sales of fish vaccines were lower than in  1994
due  to  changes in the timing of vaccination practices  by  fish
producers  and  increased  competition in  the  Norwegian  salmon
farming market.

      The  HPS  accounted for less than half of the  consolidated
revenue increase.  The IPD accounted for the major portion of the
HPS  revenue  increase.   IPD revenues increased  due  to  volume
growth in Northern Europe and Indonesia, the translation of sales
in  NOK  and  DKK  into the U.S. dollar and to  a  lesser  extent
selected  price increases where permitted. Sales by  the  FCD  of
bulk antibiotics were approximately the same as 1994.

      Revenues decreased marginally in the USPD due to a decrease
in  volume  of a number of products, including certain cough  and
cold   products   containing  iodinated   glycerol   which   were
discontinued in July of 1994. Other cough and cold products,  not
containing iodinated glycerol, declined compared to 1994  due  to
an  unusually  mild  flu  season.  Price  increases  achieved  in
selected  products and sales of products introduced in late  1994
substantially  offset volume declines of cough,  cold  and  other
products.

      On a consolidated basis gross profit increased $6.9 million
and  the  gross margin percent increased marginally to  42.3%  in
1995 compared to 41.0% in 1994.

      Gross profit dollars in the HPS accounted for a substantial
amount  of  the  dollar  increase due to increased  sales  volume
(especially  by  the  IPD), the effect of  translation  of  gross
profits  in DKK and NOK into U.S. Dollars for both IPD and  to  a
lesser extent, FCD, and selected price increases. Gross profit in
dollars  for  USPD  increased due to price increases  and  higher
value  added new product sales offset by volume declines in sales
of cough, cold and other products.

      Gross profit dollars in the Animal Health Segment increased
at a rate less than the sales increase.  The gross profit percent
declined  due to sales increases attributable to the  Wade  Jones
Company,  Inc.,  and  sales made pursuant to a  poultry  products
distribution  agreement  with Merck  AgVet.  In  addition,  gross
profits  were  negatively affected due to lower  volume  of  high
gross margin fish vaccine sales.

      Operating  expenses on a consolidated basis increased  $4.3
million or 11.5% compared to a 11.6% revenue increase.  Operating
expenses  increased  due to variable selling  expense  increases,
additional research and development expenses, the acquisition  of
the  Wade  Jones  Company, Inc. in July 1994 and  the  effect  of
translating NOK and DKK expenses into U.S. Dollars.

     Operating income increased $2.6 million (33.0%) primarily as
a  result of increased sales volume and price increases offset to
some extent by the higher expenses described above.

Interest Expense and Other, Net

     Interest expense increased $4.4 million and $2.3 million for
the   six   and  three  month  periods  ended  June   30,   1995,
respectively,  due  to increased debt levels resulting  from  the
acquisition  of  A.L.  Oslo in October  1994,  increased  capital
expenditures in 1994, the acquisition of the Wade Jones  Company,
Inc. in July 1994, and increased working capital requirements  to
support  sales  increases.  Additionally,  interest  rates   have
generally  increased  relative to 1994.   Comparability  is  also
affected  in  that  the Company restated the 1994  financials  to
reflect  the  acquisition of A.L. Oslo in a manner similar  to  a
pooling  of interests.  The restated six months and three  months
ended June 30, 1994 do not include interest expense on either the
cash  consideration or actual transaction costs which would  have
been  incurred had the acquisition taken place in prior  periods.
The  Company  estimates  that interest expense  calculated  on  a
comparable  basis  in  1994 would have  been  approximately  $1.1
million  and  $.5  million higher for the  six  and  three  month
periods, respectively.

      Other income (expense), net for the six month period  ended
June 30, 1995 includes net foreign exchange transaction losses of
approximately $1.0 million resulting from the translation of non-
functional  currency  receivables net of non-functional  currency
payables and forward foreign exchange contracts.  The losses were
recorded  by the Company's subsidiaries in Norway and Denmark  in
the   first  quarter  of  1995  and  primarily  relate  to  sales
denominated  in  currencies (i.e. U.S.  Dollar,  Swedish  Kroner,
British   Pound   and   Portuguese  Escudo)   which   depreciated
significantly in the first quarter compared to the NOK and DKK.

Post Combination Management Actions in 1994

      In  December  1994  the Company announced  post-combination
management actions which included severing certain employees.  As
a  result  of  the personnel actions, the Company  believes  that
approximately $3.6 million of annual payroll and payroll  related
costs  have  been eliminated.  In the six months ended  June  30,
1995  the Company estimates approximately one-half of the  annual
cost  savings were achieved. The Company is continuing  to  study
other  opportunities  to  rationalize  personnel  functions   and
operations,  both  selectively  and  on  a  location  basis,  and
accordingly, similar management actions may be initiated  in  the
future.

      As  part  of  the post-combination management  actions  the
Company  provided for the exiting of the U.S. Tablet Business  by
the  most probable exit plan (i.e. sale).  However, if such  exit
by  sale  should  fail  to  be  consummated,  an  adjustment  for
additional   future   costs  (including  severance   for   tablet
employees) could be required.

Governmental Actions Affecting the Company

      The  Company's operations in all countries are  subject  to
comprehensive government regulation which includes inspection  of
and controls over manufacturing and quality control practices and
procedures, requires approvals to market products, and can result
in  the recall of products and suspension of production.  In  the
United  States the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has imposed
more  stringent  regulatory requirements  on  the  pharmaceutical
industry in recent years.

      The  U.S. manufacturing companies included in the Company's
U.S.  Pharmaceuticals Division, Barre National,  Inc.  ("Barre"),
NMC  Laboratories,  Inc.  ("NMC"), and  Able  Laboratories,  Inc.
("Able"),   are   affected  by  the  more  demanding   regulatory
environment  in that they are required to comply with  the  FDA's
interpretation of Current Good Manufacturing Practices  ("CGMP").
In  this  regard, Barre and Able are parties to separate  consent
decrees  with  the FDA which define the specific  standards  they
must achieve in meeting CGMP.

       Regulatory  compliance  has  continued  to  affect   costs
directly,  by  requiring the addition of personnel, programs  and
capital,  and  indirectly, by adding activities without  directly
increasing  efficiency.  The costs (both direct and indirect)  of
actions  taken with regard to regulatory compliance  (which  have
increased  in recent years) are expected to continue to  increase
in the future.

      In  July  1994,  the  Company ceased  the  manufacture  and
marketing  of  products  which contain  iodinated  glycerol.  The
cessation was the result of an industry wide prohibition  on  the
continued sale of such products by the FDA.

      Iodinated glycerol products represented approximately 2% of
the Company's full year 1994 sales and the loss of sales of these
products   in   1995  has  negatively  impacted   the   Company's
operations.

      The Company and its subsidiaries have filed applications to
market  products with regulatory agencies both in  the  U.S.  and
internationally.   The timing of receipt of  approvals  of  these
applications  can  significantly  increase  future  revenues  and
income.  The  Company  cannot control or  predict  with  accuracy
whether such applications will be approved or the timing of their
approval.
European Operations

      The  fluctuations  of  European currencies  have  and  will
continue  to  impact  the  Company's  European  operations  which
comprised  approximately  35%  of  revenues  in  the  year  ended
December  31, 1994.  In addition, many European governments  have
enacted  or  are in the process of enacting mechanisms  aimed  at
lowering the cost of pharmaceuticals.  Currency fluctuations  and
governmental actions to reduce or not allow increases  of  prices
have   affected  revenue.   The  Company  cannot  predict  future
currency  fluctuations or future governmental pricing actions  or
their impact on the Company's results.

Financial Condition

     Working capital at June 30, 1995 was $107.9 million compared
to  $95.8  million at December 31, 1994.  The current  ratio  was
1.79  to  1  at June 30, 1995 compared to 1.62 to 1 at year  end.
Long-term  debt to stockholders' equity was 1.13:1  at  June  30,
1995 compared to 1.21:1 at December 31, 1994.

      All  balance sheet captions increased as of June  30,  1995
compared  to December 31, 1994 in U.S. Dollars as the  functional
currencies  of the Company's principal foreign subsidiaries,  the
NOK and DKK, appreciated versus the U.S. Dollar in the first half
of 1995 by approximately 9% and 11%, respectively.  The increases
do  impact  to  some  degree  the above  mentioned  ratios.   The
approximate  increase  due to currency  translation  of  selected
captions was: accounts receivable $4.8 million, inventories  $4.5
million, accounts payable and accrued expenses $3.2 million,  and
total stockholders' equity $10.3 million.
