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 December 31, 1994 and
         the  consolidated   results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  for  the
         three-month  and  nine-month  periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.
         The results of operations for the  three-month  and nine-month  periods
         ended December 31, 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 December 31, and March 31, 1994, consisted of:

                                            December 31                March 31
                                            -----------                --------
                                                       (in thousands)
         Raw materials and supplies            $22,578                $18,821
         Work in process                        22,360                 19,498
         Finished goods                          5,058                  9,478
         LIFO adjustment                         2,470                  2,610
                                              --------                 ------
                                               $52,466                $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 nine-month  period ended
         December 31, 1994.

(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
         nine-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 November 22, 1994,  the Company  paid its sixth  consecutive  annual
         cash  dividend  of $.10 per share of common  stock to  stockholders  of
         record on October 18, 1994.

(6)      Contingencies

         The Company is involved in certain  litigation and other claims related
         to its operations. At December 31, 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  and  nine-month  periods ended December 31,
1994  decreased  by  approximately  $3.9 million  (11%) and $5.8  million  (5%),
respectively,  from the corresponding  prior periods.  The decrease in net sales
during the three-month  period was principally  related to the Company's consent
decree  with the  Food and Drug  Administration  (FDA),  pursuant  to which  the
Company temporarily  suspended shipment,  and the FDA required the revalidation,
of  certain  products.  The  decrease  in sales for the  nine-month  period  was
primarily due to lower sales volume and unit prices for Ketoprofen  capsules,  a
product introduced by the Company in December 1992.

     The  Company's  gross profit  margin  decreased  from 24% to 15% during the
three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1994 and from 24% to 17%  during  the
nine-month  period ended December 31, 1994 compared to the  corresponding  prior
periods.  The  decrease  in profit  margin  during  the  three-month  period was
primarily  due  to  price  erosion  on  various  products  and  increased  costs
associated  with FDA  regulatory  requirements  which also  resulted  in reduced
finished goods production during the quarter,  as well as a change in the mix of
products sold.  The decrease in profit margin during the  nine-month  period was
primarily  due to lower sales  volume and unit prices for  Ketoprofen  capsules.
When  introduced  by the Company,  Ketoprofen  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.

     As announced in December,  1994, the Company has signed a three-year supply
agreement with Eli Lilly and Company.  The agreement became effective January 1,
1995 and calls for the Company to supply  Lilly with a product  manufactured  at
its  Missouri  facility.  The Company  expects  this  arrangement  to double its
production  of that  product.  The  contract  also calls for Lilly to supply the
Company with substantial quantities of a raw material at a fixed exchange ratio.
As a result of this  contract,  the Company  anticipates  improved  gross profit
margins in fiscal 1996.

     Research and  development  expenses  during the  three-month and nine-month
periods ended  December 31, 1994  increased by  approximately  $300,000 and $1.4
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 $1
million during the  three-month  and $3.1 million  during the nine-month  period
compared to the corresponding prior periods. The increase during the three-month
period  resulted  primarily  from costs  incurred in connection  with  exploring
strategic  options to  enhance  the value of the  Company  to its  shareholders,
including  discussions  regarding a possible  sale of the Company.  Although the
Company  continues to be engaged in active  discussions,  no  assurances  can be
given that such discussions will result in any transaction. The Company does not
anticipate  making any further  announcement  unless and until an  agreement  is
reached or the exploration of  alternatives  is terminated.  The increase during
the nine-month period was primarily attributable to the resolution of regulatory
matters with the FDA  referred to above,  which  resulted in increased  payroll,
legal fees and other professional expenses.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     Interest  expense   decreased  by  approximately   $160,000  and  $320,000,
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 bonds at a  substantially  reduced  interest rate. The
Company anticipates  continued 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  effective  tax  rate  (benefit)  for  the  three-month  and
nine-month  periods  ended  December  31,  1994 was a 41%  benefit.  The Company
incurred a loss in the  three-month  and  nine-month  periods ended December 31,
1994 and its tax exempt income and tax credits  therefore  increased rather than
decreased its income tax rate/benefit.  The Company's effective tax rate for the
three-month  and  nine-month  periods  ended  December 31, 1993 was 30% and 34%,
respectively.  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  nine-month
period ended December 31, 1993.

     For the  various  reasons  noted  above,  the  Company  incurred  a loss of
approximately  $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the  three-month and nine-month
periods  ended  December  31,  1994,  respectively,   compared  to  earnings  of
approximately $1.4 million and $5.4 million,  respectively, in the corresponding
periods of the prior year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash and cash  equivalents  decreased by  approximately  $3.1
million  during the nine months  ended  December 31, 1994 as a result of the net
repayment of approximately  $3.1 million of debt.  During the nine-month  period

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.   Other Information

     On November 22, 1994,  the Company paid its sixth  consecutive  annual cash
dividend of $.10 per share of common stock to  stockholders of record on October
18, 1994.

     As previously reported,  in July 1994 the Company entered into an agreement
with FDA to resolve  outstanding  regulatory  issues with  respect to its dosage
form facilities.  The Company believes it has provided FDA with all submissions,
including expert  certifications,  required under the agreement as of this date.
In addition,  in connection  with the five  products that the Company  agreed to
suspend shipments of, two were returned to the market in September 1994. The FDA
has  also  notified  the  Company  that it may  commence  manufacturing  a third
product,  Nystatin  Liquid,  and may ship certain  batches of this product,  but
shipments of batches  manufactured  after the date of the  agreement  must await
further review of  information  by FDA. The Company had, on its own  initiative,
suspended  shipments of the  remaining  two products  prior to entering into the
agreement.  The Company anticipates  requesting FDA to reinspect its dosage form
facilities in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter.  A satisfactory  reinspection
is  necessary  to obtain new  product  approvals  of dosage form  products.  The
Company is also responding to FDA  observations  resulting from an inspection in
January of its Waldwick Bulk Pharmaceutical Chemical facility.
