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 September 30, 1994 and
         the  consolidated   results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  for  the
         three-month  and six-month  periods ended  September 30, 1994 and 1993.
         The results of operations  for the  three-month  and six-month  periods
         ended September 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 September 30, and March 31, 1994, consisted of:
                                                     September 30       March 31
                                                     ------------       --------
                                                             (In thousands)

         Raw materials and supplies                     $18,808          $18,821
         Work in process                                 19,552           19,498
         Finished goods                                   7,432            9,478
         LIFO adjustment                                  2,440            2,610
                                                        -------          -------

                                                        $48,232          $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  six-month  period ended
         September 30, 1993.

(4)      Earnings (Loss) Per Share

         Earnings (loss) per share is the Company's  primary earnings (loss) 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 and six
         month periods.  Fully-diluted earnings (loss) per share for all periods
         are not presented  because the amount would not differ from the amounts
         of primary earnings (loss) per share.

(5)      Dividend on Common Stock

         On August 8, 1994 the Company  declared  its sixth  consecutive  annual
         cash dividend of $.10 per share on its common stock payable on November
         22, 1994 to shareholders of record on October 18, 1994.

(6)      Contingencies

         The Company is involved in certain  litigation and other claims related
         to its  operations.  At September 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 three-month  period ended September 30, 1994 increased by
approximately $2.8 million (8%) from the corresponding  prior period to a record
level of $39.1 million.  The increase  resulted  primarily from increased  sales
volume of  Amoxicillin  and  Cephalexin  capsules.  Net sales for the  six-month
period  decreased by $1.8 million (3%) from the  corresponding  prior period and
the Company's  gross profit margin  decreased from 25% to 18% during the quarter
ended  September 30, 1994 and from 24% to 18% during the six-month  period ended
September 30, 1994 compared to the corresponding prior periods. The decreases in
sales for the six-month  period as well as profit  margins for both periods were
primarily  due to 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. The
Company agreed in July to recall select lots of certain products and temporarily
suspend production of five products. It resumed shipment of two of the suspended
products  in late  September  and it  anticipates  resuming  shipment of a third
product before the end of the third fiscal quarter.  The Company had, on its own
initiative,  previously suspended shipment of the other two of the five products
and it expects that the  suspension of those two products will continue  through
the end of the third fiscal quarter.

     Research and  development  expenses  during the  three-month  and six-month
periods ended  September 30, 1994 increased by  approximately  $800,000 and $1.1
million,  respectively,  compared  to the  corresponding  prior  periods  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   $400,000  during  the
three-month  and $2.1  million  during the  six-month  periods  compared  to the
corresponding  prior  periods,  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
administrative expenses are expected to continue to be affected by such expenses
through the end of the third fiscal quarter.

     Interest  expense   decreased  by  approximately   $100,000  and  $160,000,
respectively,  compared to the corresponding  prior periods.  The decreases were
due to reduced  long-term  debt, as well as the remarketing in September 1994 of
the Company's $30 million bond at a  substantially  reduced  interest  rate. The
Company  anticipates  further interest expense  reductions during the balance of
the 1995 fiscal year compared to the 1994 fiscal year as a result of the reduced
interest rate on its bonds.

     The Company's pretax income was $71,000 and its tax liability was offset by
tax credits for the three-month period ended September 30, 1994,  compared to an
effective  tax rate of 36% for the  corresponding  prior  period.  The Company's
effective tax rate (benefit) for the six-month  period ended  September 30, 1994
was 42% compared to 36% for the corresponding prior period. The Company incurred
a loss in the  six-month  period  ended  September  30,  1994 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 six-month
period ended September 30, 1993.

     For the various reasons noted above,  the Company's net earnings  decreased
from  approximately  $800,000  to  $100,000  for the  three-month  period  ended
September  30, 1994 compared to the  corresponding  prior period and the Company
incurred a loss of approximately $800,000 compared to $4 million of earnings for
the six-month  period ended  September  30, 1994  compared to the  corresponding
prior period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash and cash  equivalents  decreased by  approximately  $1.5
million  during the  six-month  period  ended  September  30,  1994.  During the
six-month  period the  Company  generated  $4.5  million of cash from  operating
activities  which  it used to  finance  its  capital  expenditures  and make its
initial  $2.2  million  bond  principal  payment.  In  September,   the  Company
remarketed  its  $30  million  bond  reducing  its  effective  interest  rate to
approximately 6% from approximately 10%.

     The Company has available $6.8 million under its $10 million line of credit
with  Commerce  Bank of St.  Louis and $1 million  under its $10 million line of
credit with National Westminister Bank, NJ.
