NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(1)       Basis of Presentation

          The unaudited condensed  consolidated financial statements include, in
          the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal and
          recurring  adjustments)  necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  the
          Company's  consolidated  financial position as of June 30,1994 and the
          consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months
          ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.  The results of operations for the three
          months  ended  June 30,  1994 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
          results to be expected for the entire year.

          The  statements  are  presented  as  permitted by Form 10-Q and do not
          contain  certain   information   included  in  the  annual   financial
          statements and notes of the Company.  The statements  included  herein
          should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes
          included in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
          year  ended  March 31,  1994 filed with the  Securities  and  Exchange
          Commission.

(2)       Inventories

          Inventories at June 30, and March 31, 1994, consisted of:

                                                    June 30          March 31
                                                    -------         ---------
                                                         (In thousands)

         Raw materials and supplies ........       $  20,268       $  18,821
         Work in process ...................          20,970          19,498
         Finished goods ....................          10,819           9,478
         LIFO adjustment ...................           2,500           2,610
                                                 -----------     -----------

                                                   $  54,557       $  50,407
                                                   =========       =========

          The Company  uses the dollar  value LIFO  method to cost  inventories;
          therefore,  allocation of the LIFO adjustment  among the components of
          inventory is impractical.

(3)       Change in Methods of Accounting

          Effective April 1, 1994, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 115, "
          Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The
          change in accounting method increased stockholders' equity as of April
          1, 1994 by  approximately  $87,000 (net of $53,000 of deferred  income
          taxes) to  reflect  the net  unrealized  holding  gains on  securities
          classified as  available-for-sale  previously  carried at the lower of
          amortized  cost or market.  In accordance  with the  Statement,  prior
          period financial statements have not been restated. Effective April 1,
          1993,  the Company  adopted FASB  Statement No. 109,  "Accounting  for
          Income Taxes." The change in accounting  method increased net earnings
          by  $30,000  or less than $.01 per  share for the three  month  period
          ended June 30, 1993.

(4)       Earnings Per Share

          Earnings per share is the Company's  primary  earnings per share using
          the treasury  stock method  based on the  weighted  average  number of
          common shares as well as common share  equivalents  (stock options) to
          the  extent  dilutive,  outstanding  during the three  month  periods.
          Fully-diluted  earnings per share for both  periods are not  presented
          because  the  amount  would not  differ  from the  amounts  of primary
          earnings per share.

(5)       Contingencies

          The Company is involved in certain litigation and other claims related
          to its operations.  At June 30, 1994, after  consultations  with legal
          counsel representing the Company in such litigation, management of the
          Company  believes that it is unlikely that the ultimate  resolution of
          such  matters  will have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
          consolidated financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the quarter  ended June 30, 1994  decreased by  approximately
$4.7 million (13%) and the Company's  gross profit margin  decreased from 23% to
18% from the  corresponding  prior period.  Substantially all of the decrease in
net sales and gross  profit  margin  resulted  from lower sales  volume and unit
prices for  Ketoprofen  capsules.  Ketoprofen  was  introduced by the Company in
December 1992 and was the first available generic  substitute for the brand name
product,  Orudis(R).  Although the Company initially obtains higher sales prices
for new products,  intensified competition typically forces the Company to lower
its sales price and reduce its profit  margin.  Net sales were also  affected by
action  taken by the  Company  in  connection  with the  resolution  of  certain
regulatory  matters with the FDA,  which  decreased net sales for the quarter by
approximately  $700,000.  The  Company  agreed in July to recall  select lots of
certain products and temporarily suspend production of five products.  Shipments
of two of the five products had previously  been suspended by the Company on its
own initiative.  Aggregate fiscal 1994 sales of all five products  accounted for
approximately 6% of the Company's total sales for the year. Although the Company
cannot gauge the prospective  impact on sales of these suspended products due to
varying timetables  affecting the resumption of production,  the Company expects
that the  suspension  will  continue,  at least in part,  through the end of the
second fiscal quarter (see Item 6).

     Research and development  expenses during the three-month period ended June
30, 1994 increased by approximately $300,000 compared to the corresponding prior
period due to increased  research activity as well as increased costs associated
with FDA regulatory  requirements affecting new products.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  increased by  approximately  $1.6  million  during the
three-month  period  compared to the  corresponding  prior  period  primarily in
connection  with the  resolution of regulatory  matters with the FDA referred to
above,  which resulted in increased  payroll,  legal fees and other professional
expenses.  Selling,  general and adminstrative expenses are expected to continue
to be affected by such expenses at least through the second fiscal quarter.

     The Company's effective tax rate (benefit) for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1994 was 40% compared to 36% for the  corresponding  prior period.  The
Company incurred a loss in the current quarter and its tax exempt income and tax
credits  therefore  increased rather than decreased its income tax rate/benefit.
Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for
Income  Taxes." The adoption of Statement 109 resulted in increased net earnings
of $30,000 (less than $.01 per share) for the quarter ended June 30, 1993.

     For  the  various  reasons  noted  above,  the  Company  had a net  loss of
approximately  $900,000 for the three-month  period ended June 30, 1994 compared
to net earnings of $1.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1993.
