           HALSEY DRUG CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
of Halsey Drug Co., Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 have been made. The
results of operations for the Nine months period ended September 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year
ended December 31, 1999. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998 included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of
approximately $903,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $69,179,000.
The Company incurred a loss of approximately $11,958,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1999.

         As of November 15, 1999, the Company had approximately $800,000 in cash
reserves available to fund operations. The Company estimates that such cash
reserves combined with internally generated cash flow will be sufficient to fund
operations for approximately 30 days. In order to fund continued operations, the
Company is actively seeking alternative sources of financing, including a
possible sale or license arrangement relating to a product for which the Company
has filed for approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No assurance
can be given, however, that the Company will be successful in concluding a sale
or licensing arrangement for this product on acceptable terms. Failure to
complete a sale or licensing transaction as described, or an alternative
financing transaction within the next 30 days will have a material adverse
effect on the Company's working capital position, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

        The Company currently is a defendant in several lawsuits involving
product liability claims. The Company's insurance carriers have assumed the
defense for all product liability and other actions involving the Company. The
final outcome of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time, and
accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the consolidated financial
statements.


NOTE 5 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

           The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, in the
first quarter of 1999, which requires companies to disclose comprehensive income
separately of net income from operations. Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity during the period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-ownership sources. It includes all changes in equity
during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the
Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 or 1998.

Nine months ended September 30, 1999 vs. Nine months ended September 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales

 The Company's net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 of
$8,259,000 represents an increase of $1,961,000 (31.1%) as compared to net sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of $6,298,000. This increase is a
result of recapturing market share that had been lost in the prior year because
the Company lacked working capital in the first quarter of 1998 to maintain
sufficient inventories for sale. Further, the sales increase reflects aggressive
selling efforts by the Company's sales force.

Cost of Goods Sold

        For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, cost of goods sold of
$11,210,000 increased as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of
$9,901,000. This is attributable to greater manufacturing activity associated
with the sales increase as well as the addition of manufacturing overhead costs
from the March, 1999 acquisition of the Congers manufacturing facility. Gross
margin as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
(35.7)% as compared to (57.2)% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
This is attributable to the leverage of the Company's fixed overhead costs from
increased sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

       Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 67.2% and 77.2%,
respectively. Overall these expenses in the first nine months of 1999 increased
$685,000 over the same period in 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to
the increased costs of litigation ($180,000), professional services ($65,000),
selling expenses ($325,000) and general and administrative expenses associated
with the Congers manufacturing facility ($115,000).

Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 8.3% and 12.5%, respectively. The
Company's research and development program is concentrating its efforts in three
areas.

First, the Company is performing the necessary regulatory steps to effect the
transfer of the products obtained from Barr Laboratories in April 1999 to the
Company. The Company expects to have completed the process for one of these
products by the end of 1999 with additional six products expected to be
submitted to the FDA for approval in 2000.

Second, the Company is continuing development efforts relating to certain active
pharmaceutical ingredients (API's). The Company currently manufactures two API's
and has a third under development.

Finally, the Company is proceeding with the development of products, apart from
those obtained from Barr Laboratories, for submission to the FDA. The Company
currently has one Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) on file with the FDA
and expects to file an additional seven within the next twelve months.

Net Earnings (Loss)

        For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company had net loss
of $11,958,000 as compared to a net loss of $8,761,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. Included in results for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 was a one time gain of $1,900,000 that had been recorded in September, 1997
as a deferred gain on the sale of certain assets to Mallinckrodt Chemical
Products, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt"). This transaction contained certain future
requirements that were met in the first quarter of 1998. Also, the 1999 results
include additional interest expense of $1,351,000 resulting from the issuance of
debentures during 1998 and 1999.

Three months ended September 30, 1999 vs. Three months ended September 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net Sales

        The Company's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 of
$2,468,000 represents a increase of $286,000 (13.1%) as compared to net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 of $2,182,000. The increase
resulted from greater market penetration due to aggressive selling efforts in
1999.

Cost of Goods Sold

        For the three months ended September 30, 1999, cost of goods sold
increased by approximately $175,000 as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase for 1999 is attributable to greater
manufacturing activity associated with the sales increase. Gross margin as a
percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was
(53.4)% compared to (65.5)% for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

       Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were 81.9% and 75.7%,
respectively. The increase of $369,000 is due primarily to increased costs of
litigation ($204,000), professional services ($75,000) and general and
administrative expenses associated with the Congers manufacturing facility
($90,000).

Research and Development Expenses

        Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was 13.4% and 15.4%, respectively. The
Company's research and development program is concentrating its efforts in three
areas.

First, the Company is performing the necessary regulatory steps to effect the
transfer of the products obtained from Barr Laboratories in April 1999 to the
Company. The Company expects to have completed the process for one of these
products by the end of 1999 with additional six products expected to be

Finally, the Company is proceeding with the development of products, apart from
those obtained from Barr Laboratories, for submission to the FDA. The Company
currently has one Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) on file with the FDA
and expects to file an additional seven within the next twelve months.

Net Earnings (Loss)

        For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company had a net
loss of $4,672,000 as compared to a net loss of $3,926,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. This increase is attributable to lower gross margins
as well as higher interest costs associated with the 5% convertible debentures
issued in 1998 ($492,000).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

        At September 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$2,391,000 as compared to $1,850,000 at December 31, 1998. The Company had
working capital of $903,000 at September 30, 1999 and a working capital
deficiency of ($6,665,000)at December 31, 1998.


On May 26, 1999, the Company consummated a private offering of securities for an
aggregate purchase price of up to $22.8 million (the "Oracle Offering"). The
securities issued in the Offering consisted of 5% convertible senior secured
debentures (the "1999 Debentures") and common stock purchase warrants (the "1999
Warrants"). The 1999 Debentures and 1999 Warrants were issued by the Company
pursuant to a certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated May 26,
1999 (the "Oracle Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, Oracle
Strategic Partners, L.P. ("Oracle") and such other investors in the Company's
March 10, 1998 offering electing to participate in the Oracle Offering
(inclusive of Oracle, collectively, the "Oracle Investor Group").

        The 1999 Debentures were issued at par and will become due and payable
as to principal on March 15, 2003. Approximately $12.8 million in principal
amount of the 1999 Debentures were issued on May 26, 1999. Interest on the
principal amount of the 1999 Debentures, at the rate of 5% per annum, will be
payable on a quarterly basis.

        The 1999 Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common
stock at a conversion price of $1.404 per share, for an aggregate of up to
approximately 16,283,694 shares of the Company's common stock. The 1999 Warrants
are exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 4,618,702 shares of the
Company's common stock. Of such warrants, 2,309,351 warrants are exercisable at
$1.404 per share and the remaining 2,309,351 warrants are exercisable at $2.285
per share. The 1999 Debentures are 1999 Warrants are convertible and
exercisable, respectively, for an aggregate of approximately 20,902,396 of the
Company's common stock.

        Of the $22.8 million to be invested pursuant to the Oracle Purchase
Agreement, $5 million was funded by Oracle on May 26, 1999, the closing date of
the Oracle Purchase Agreement, with an additional $10 million to be funded by
Oracle in two (2) installments of $5 million each. The first installment of the
additional $10 million Oracle investment was funded on July 27, 1999. The
remaining $5 million Oracle investment to be made pursuant to the Oracle
Purchase Agreement is required to be funded upon the receipt of approval from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a product for which an abbreviated new
drug application has been filed with the FDA. The Company anticipates that this
condition will be satisfied during the first quarter of 2000. In the event the
Company does not receive FDA approval for such product on or before March 31,
2000, Oracle is under no obligation to fund the final $5 million investment.

        In addition to the $10 million investment made by Oracle to date,
approximately $7,037,000 of the 1999 Debentures issued pursuant to the Oracle
Purchase Agreement were issued in exchange for the surrender of a like amount of
principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Company's convertible
promissory notes issues pursuant to various bridge loan transactions with Galen
Partners III, L.P., Galen Partners International III, L.P., Galen Employee Fund
III, L.P. (collectively, "Galen") and certain other investors in the aggregate
amount of $10,104,110 during the period from August, 1998 through and including
May, 1999 (the "Galen Bridge Loans"). The remaining balance of the Galen Bridge
Loans in the principal amount of $3,495,001 plus accrued and unpaid interest was
satisfied with a portion of the proceeds of the second $5 million installment of
Oracle's investment funded on July 27, 1999.


                                       13
<PAGE>   14
         On November 15, 1999 the Company received a commitment from Galen to
extend bridge financing of $500,000 (the "1999 Bridge Loan"). The 1999 Bridge
Loan will have a 30 day term and bear interest at the fixed rate of 18% per
annum, payable at maturity. The 1999 Bridge Loan commitment provides that if the
1999 Bridge Loan is not paid in full at maturity, the Company is obligated to
issue common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 25,000 shares of common
stock having an exercise price of $1.47 per share.

            As of November 15, 1999, after giving effect to the 1999 Bridge
Loan, the Company had approximately $800,000 in cash reserves available to fund
operations. The Company estimates that such cash reserves combined with
internally generated cash flow will be sufficient to fund operations for
approximately 30 days. The final $5 million installment to be funded by Oracle
pursuant to the Oracle Purchase Agreement is not required to be funded until the
receipt of approval from the FDA for a designated product for which an
abbreviated new drug application has been filed. Based on recent correspondence
from the FDA relating to such product, the Company does not anticipate receipt
of approval for the product until later in the first quarter of 2000. In order
to fund operations prior to the receipt of the final $5 million investment by
Oracle, of which there can be no assurance, the Company is actively seeking
alternative sources of financing, including a possible sale or license
arrangement relating to a product for which the Company has filed for FDA
approval. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company will be
successful in concluding a sale or licensing arrangement for this product on
acceptable teams. Failure to complete a sale or licensing transaction as
described, or an alternative financing transaction within the next 30 days will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital position and
financial condition and on the Company's ability to continue operations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

        The Company is aware of issues associated with the programming code in
existing computer system as the Year 2000 approaches and has undertaken a
compliance program to assess the Company's potential exposure to business
interruptions due to the possible Year 2000 computer software failures,
including necessary remediation and testing. In 1999, the Company installed a
new information system, including hardware and software, which the Company
believes, based on its testing, is Year 2000 complaint.

        The Company is dependent upon its customers and suppliers in meeting its
ongoing business needs. The Company's Year 2000 program includes identifying
these third parties and determining, based on both written and verbal
communication, that they are either in compliance or expect to be in compliance.
Lack of compliance by a third party on whom the Company depends for critical
goods or services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations in the absence of the third party's ability to meet the Company's
needs through a contingency plan or the Company's ability to obtain the goods or
services elsewhere.

        Currently, the Company believes the largest area of exposure concerning
the Year 2000 lies with third party suppliers of raw materials especially those
locate in foreign countries. The contingency plan to mitigate the disruption
among these suppliers includes the buildup of critical raw material inventories.
However, the extent to which this may be required has not yet been determined
and therefore the cost and ability to accumulate such inventories cannot be
estimated at this time.

        In the event the Year 2000 issues were to disrupt the Company and its
operations, such disruption may have a material impact on the Company and its
results of operations. Given that no significant issues have arisen based on
assessments to date, the Company has identified a preliminary contingency plan
and is prepared to make necessary corrections to its systems in the event a
problem should occur. The Company will continue to assess the Year 2000
compliance issue on an on-going basis in an effort to resolve any Year 2000
issues in a timely manner.
