ITEM 1. BUSINESS

     The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

     Jones Medical Industries, Inc. ("JMI" or the "Company") is engaged in the
manufacture, marketing and sale of pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements.
Founded in 1981, the Company markets a wide variety of pharmaceuticals and
branded nutritional supplements under its own trademarks and tradenames.  All
of the Company's product lines have been acquired through a series of 13
acquisitions which have complemented or expanded its existing lines of
business.  The Company intends to leverage its existing marketing and sales
capabilities through additional strategic acquisitions of complementary
products and businesses, by expanding and increasing the penetration of its
existing customer base, and through the introduction of new formats for
pharmaceuticals and new formulations for nutritional supplements. During 1995,
sales of pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements accounted for
approximately 46% and 54% of the Company's  total sales, respectively.

     Thrombin-JMI(TM), Thrombinar(R), Brevital(R) Sodium, Bronson(TM), Bronson
Pharmaceutical(TM), MD Pharmaceutical(TM), Liqui-Char(R), Therevac(R),
Derma-Scrub(R), Thyroid Strong(TM), and Westhroid(TM) are trademarks owned by
or under license to the Company.  All other trademarks and registered
trademarks used in this Form 10-K are the property of their respective owner.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     The Company's business strategy is to acquire specialty product lines or
operations that complement or expand the marketing or distribution of existing
product lines and to develop and apply marketing initiatives to such products.
The key elements of the Company's strategy include:

     Acquire and Build Market Share in Specialty Pharmaceuticals.  Since
inception, the Company has purchased domestic rights to certain specialty
pharmaceuticals addressing markets such as hemostasis and anesthesia.  JMI
intends to continue to seek the rights to products that it believes can benefit
from a focused marketing effort.

     Leverage Established Pharmaceutical Marketing and Sales Efforts.  JMI
intends to maximize productivity of its sales force through replacement of
existing, lower-volume products with new products with larger market
opportunities.  In addition, the Company intends to raise the awareness of
selected products through targeted sales efforts focused on the hospital
pharmacists and health care professionals in the United States.

                                      2
<PAGE>   3

     Expand Marketing Initiatives for Nutritional Supplements to Health Care
Professionals.  Since the Company acquired Bronson Pharmaceuticals in early
1993, monthly orders of nutritional supplements have grown from 27,000 to over
30,000 as of January 1996, and the average order has grown from $43 to $62 as
of January 1996.  JMI intends to continue to expand its marketing efforts for
nutritional supplements by focusing on developing recommendations and referrals
to consumers through health care professionals and introducing new products to
its existing customer base.

     Improve Margins Through Focus on High-Margin Products and Cost Control.
JMI intends to increase gross and operating margins by using sales personnel
efficiently, minimizing corporate overhead and focusing on high margin
products. The Company believes that by focusing on a limited number of
products, the Company can increase sales by maximizing the productivity of its 
sales force and controlling overhead costs.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT LINES

     Pharmaceuticals. The Company markets and distributes a variety of branded
pharmaceuticals, which accounted for approximately 36% of the Company's sales
in 1995.  The Company's principal branded pharmaceuticals primarily serve the
critical care segment of the health care industry and are as follows:

     Thrombin-JMI and Thrombinar.  During invasive surgical procedures,
surgeons typically limit bleeding in order to control blood loss and maintain
visibility of the surgical site.  Surgeons may apply pressure bandages, suture
severed vessels and/or use a topical hemostatic agent to maintain the surgical
site.  In most cases, collagen, cellulose or thrombin-based hemostatic agents
are used because of their ability to rapidly begin the clotting process.  The
Company's products, Thrombin-JMI and Thrombinar, are thrombin-based topical
hemostatic agents derived from bovine blood.  The Company's thrombin products
offer advantages over collagen and cellulose products because of faster
activity in the surgical site.  Additionally, because of their physical
characteristics, JMI's thrombin products do not need to be removed from the
surgical site prior to closure, whereas non-thrombin competing products need to
be removed, often leading to recurrence of bleeding.  Thrombin-JMI was
introduced in 1995 and differs from Thrombinar in that Thrombin-JMI does not
require refrigeration, and is therefore more convenient in the operating room.
The topical hemostat market was estimated to be greater than $80 million in the
United States in 1995.  The Company's branded thrombin products accounted for
13.8% of the United States topical hemostat market and 50.4% of the United
States topical bovine thrombin market in 1995.  Thrombin-JMI and Thrombinar
accounted for 19.7% of total Company sales in 1995.  The Company's first
thrombin product, Thrombinar, was acquired by JMI from Armour Pharmaceuticals
("Armour") in 1989.  Thrombin-JMI is manufactured at the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary GenTrac, Inc. ("GenTrac").  Thrombinar was manufactured by Armour
for JMI until September 1995 when it was replaced by Thrombin-JMI.

     Brevital Sodium.  The intravenous ("I.V.") anesthetic market is split into
segments based on type and length of therapeutic, diagnostic or surgical
procedures.  Short-term general 

                                      3
<PAGE>   4

anesthesia is required when performing minor surgical procedures such as dental
surgery, cardioversion and other brief ambulatory surgeries.  Long-term general
anesthesia is required when more complex and invasive surgical procedures are
performed.  In order to administer long-term general anesthesia, induction
agents are used to begin the anesthetic event and are subsequently followed by
another drug or gas to maintain the anesthesia.  The Company's product,
Brevital Sodium ("Brevital"), is a general I.V. anesthetic agent that addresses
both the short-term and long-term anesthesia markets.  Brevital is used in
short-term procedures because of its rapid onset of action and minimal recovery
time.  Brevital's rapid onset of action also makes it a useful induction agent
for long-term general anesthesia prior to the administration of another agent
to maintain the anesthesia.  The I.V. anesthetic market in the United States is
estimated to be $500 million. Brevital accounted for 4.2% of JMI's sales in
1995 and 10.9% of the Company's sales during the last four months of 1995. 
Brevital was introduced by Eli Lilly & Company ("Lilly") in 1961 and
exclusively  licensed in perpetuity to JMI on August 31, 1995 for sale in the
United States.

     Other Pharmaceuticals.  The Company also manufactures and distributes
other critical care products and other branded pharmaceuticals under numerous
trademarks and tradenames, the most prominent of which are Liqui-Char, a toxin
antidote, Therevac, a mini-enema for rehabilitation therapy, Derma-Scrub, a
surgical scrub, and Thyroid Strong and Westhroid, natural thyroid supplements.
Combined, all other branded pharmaceutical products accounted for 12% of the
Company's total sales in 1995.

     Nutritional  Supplements.  The Company markets and distributes a full line
of branded nutritional supplements, which accounted for approximately 42% of
the Company's total sales in 1995.  The Company's branded nutritional
supplements are marketed under the Bronson Pharmaceutical and MD Pharmaceutical
tradenames.

     Bronson Pharmaceutical.  The Bronson Pharmaceutical product line consists
of over 260 branded vitamin, mineral and herbal extract formulations.  The
products include multi-vitamins, mineral formulations, individual vitamins,
antioxidants, herbal formulations and personal care products.  The Bronson
Pharmaceutical product line accounted for approximately 36% of the Company's
total sales in 1995.

     MD Pharmaceutical.  These products are sold exclusively through military
base retail outlets and consist of a broad line of branded nutritional
supplements which compete with national brands.  The products include
multi-vitamins, mineral formulations, individual vitamins and antioxidants.
The MD Pharmaceutical product line accounted for approximately 6% of the
Company's total sales in 1995.

MARKETING AND SALES

     The Company markets and promotes its products primarily through a direct
sales force, direct mail, telemarketing and trade publication advertising.  The
Company also attends major medical conventions and symposia.  The Company
maintains a sales and marketing staff of approximately 

                                      4
<PAGE>   5
40 people, and employs an additional 10 people devoted to customer service and  
marketing support.  The Company also utilizes independent sales representatives
for marketing certain products.

     Pharmaceuticals. The Company has a 24-person marketing and sales staff for
pharmaceuticals and critical care products which includes 18 field sales
personnel (including three regional managers and 15 hospital territory
managers), four marketing support specialists, a hospital group contract
coordinator and a product manager, all reporting to the Company's Vice
President-Sales.  Sales activities are focused on major hospital buying groups
which, in the aggregate, manage and contract for a majority of the purchasing
of pharmaceuticals for private sector hospitals through bid and contract
agreements.  Although the Company's marketing efforts focus upon individual
hospitals' Directors of Pharmacy as the ultimate decision-maker, the Company
presently has contracts for one or more product lines with substantially all of
the approximately 120 major hospital buying groups and distributes
pharmaceuticals nationally through approximately 320 wholesale distributors.

     Nutritional Supplements.  The Company markets the Bronson Pharmaceutical
product line directly to consumers and health care and nutritional
professionals through catalogs and direct mailings to a database that, as of
December 31, 1995, included approximately 18,000 health care and nutritional
professionals and 530,000 mail order and retail customers, of whom
approximately 135,000 purchased products directly from the Company in 1995.
The Company does not rent or utilize mailing lists from other sources,
preferring to focus upon generating customers through professional
recommendations and referrals from current customers.  The Company maintains a
telemarketing sales force of 16 persons which processes approximately 29,000
orders per month with an average order of approximately $60 during 1995.
Prepaid orders are received through mail order, toll-free telephone numbers or
by facsimile, and are filled at the Company's distribution center in St. Louis,
Missouri, usually within 24 hours of receipt, and are shipped by United Parcel
Service or parcel post.  In addition to direct mail sales, the Bronson
Pharmaceutical product line is marketed to approximately 5,000 retail accounts.
The MD Pharmaceutical product line is marketed exclusively through military
outlets by approximately 30 independent sales representatives.

MANUFACTURING

     The Company manufactures pharmaceuticals at its facilities in Canton,
Ohio, Middleton, Wisconsin and St. Louis, Missouri, and manufactures and
formulates nutritional supplements at its facilities in Tempe, Arizona.

     The Company has manufactured pharmaceuticals at its United States Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA") registered Canton, Ohio, facility since March 1984.
The Company processes raw materials purchased from outside sources and
produces products in tablet form.  Content, shape and color of such products
are produced within the guidelines of FDA regulations pertaining to
over-the-counter drugs or prescription drugs that were marketed prior to 1938.

                                      5
<PAGE>   6

     In 1991, in connection with the Company's acquisition of GenTrac, the
Company assumed operations of the GenTrac facility located in Middleton,
Wisconsin which is licensed by The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research
("CBER"), a Division of the FDA, for the production of therapeutic and
diagnostic thrombin products.  Biological products such as Thrombin-JMI must be
produced at a licensed biologic facility specifically licensed to manufacture
that product.  The Company's GenTrac facility, which produces Thrombin-JMI, is
licensed for the production of thrombin United States Pharmacopoeia ("U.S.P.")
products and also acts as a contract manufacturer of Thrombogen, a line of
proprietary thrombin products manufactured for Johnson & Johnson Medical, Inc.
("Johnson & Johnson") under distribution and development agreements.

     Packaging, as well as warehousing and distribution, for certain
pharmaceuticals and for nutritional supplements, is primarily conducted at the
Company's distribution center and headquarters located in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Company also formulates and produces liquid products such as Liqui-Char and
the Derma-Scrub  line at its St. Louis, Missouri facility.

     The Company has manufactured nutritional supplements at its facilities in
Tempe, Arizona, since 1984.  As in the case of pharmaceuticals, the Company
processes raw materials purchased from outside sources and formulates them into
final dosage form.  Although, prior to the acquisition of Bronson
Pharmaceuticals ("Bronson") by the Company in March 1993, Bronson functioned
solely as a marketer and distributor of its product line, the Company now
manufactures the majority of its Bronson products at its Tempe, Arizona
facilities.

     The Company utilizes available excess capacity at its manufacturing
facilities to produce pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements for other
branded and generic distributors, in bulk or packaged (private label) form.
The Company's marketing efforts with respect to contract manufactured products
are conducted both internally and through independent commissioned sales
representatives.

     With the exception of GenTrac's agreement with Johnson & Johnson, the
Company does not have long-term manufacturing contracts with its customers for
contract manufacturing but instead manufactures products pursuant to purchase
orders as they are received.  Contract manufacturing is performed primarily for
generic and private label product distributors which are not involved in
manufacturing and whose products primarily consist of basic generic ethical
drugs, generic over-the-counter drugs and vitamins, and private formulations of
vitamins, prescription and over-the-counter drugs.  Notwithstanding the absence
of long-term manufacturing agreements with its contract manufacturing
customers, JMI has long-standing relationships with the majority of its
customers for such products.  There can be no assurance, however, that such
relationships will continue in the future.

     In 1995, the Company manufactured approximately 80% of its total products
sold and approximately 60% of its branded products sold.  However, the Company
anticipates that these historical percentages will change since all production
of thrombin products has been integrated at the GenTrac facility while Brevital
is produced under contract by Lilly.

                                      6
<PAGE>   7

     The Company has historically relied on third-party manufacturers to
produce certain of its products.  The Company typically does not enter into
long-term manufacturing contracts with  such third-party manufacturers,
however, even when such contracts exist there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain adequate supplies of such products in a timely
fashion, or at all.  For example, the Company's thrombin products were
manufactured for the Company under a contract with Armour from whom the
Thrombinar product line was acquired in 1989.  During the fourth quarter of
1994 and first quarter of 1995, Armour was unable to fully meet the Company's
requirements for thrombin products, resulting in the Company's inability to
fill product orders from customers and the loss of sales and income.  The
Company also faces the risk that upon expiration of the term of any third-party
manufacturing agreement it may not be able to renew or extend the agreement
with the third-party manufacturer, to obtain an alternative manufacturing
source from other third parties or develop internal manufacturing capabilities
on commercially viable terms, if at all.  In such circumstances the Company may
be unable to continue to market its products as planned and could be required
to abandon or divest itself of a product line on terms which would materially
adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

     Brevital is manufactured for the Company by Lilly from whom the product
line was acquired as of August 31, 1995.  Pursuant to such acquisition, the
Company obtained a perpetual, exclusive license to market and distribute
Brevital in the United States.  The Company has entered into a 10-year
manufacturing agreement with Lilly, which may be terminated by Lilly at any
time after the first five years by giving at least five years notice to the
Company prior to ceasing the manufacture of Brevital.  In the event of such
termination, Lilly must use reasonable efforts to assist the Company in
obtaining all the necessary licenses and approvals to enable the Company or an
alternative manufacturer to manufacture Brevital.  There can be no assurance
that Lilly will continue to meet FDA or product specification standards for
Brevital or that the Company's Brevital product demand can be met in a
consistent and timely manner.  Lilly is the sole manufacturer of Brevital and
any alternative manufacturer would require regulatory change-in-site
qualification to manufacture the product.  In the event of any interruption in
the supply of Brevital from Lilly due to regulatory or other causes, there can
be no assurance that the Company could make alternative manufacturing
arrangements on a timely basis, if at all.  Such an interruption would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

PRINCIPAL CUSTOMERS AND SUPPLIERS

     No one customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's sales in 1995.
GenTrac's sales of thrombin products to Johnson & Johnson were $3.5 million or
6.1% of the Company's total sales in 1995.

     The Company has not experienced to date any significant shortages in
supplies of raw materials.  The raw materials utilized by the Company in its
manufacturing operations are purchased from a variety of suppliers.  The
Company endeavors to maintain multiple suppliers in order to minimize delays or
cost disparities in the event of supplier shortages.  For the most part the

                                      7

<PAGE>   8

Company's ability to manufacture products is not dependent on any
particular raw material supplier except as to thyroid raw materials.

     The Company relies on certain suppliers of key raw materials to provide an
adequate supply of such materials for production of finished products.  Certain
materials are purchased from single sources.  In particular, the manufacture of
Brevital is dependent upon Lilly's ability to procure certain raw materials
used in the manufacture of Brevital.  Although the Company has no reason to
believe that Lilly will be unable to procure adequate supplies of such raw
materials on a timely basis, disruptions in supplies of Brevital, including
delays due to Lilly's inability to procure raw materials, would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

COMPETITION

     The manufacture and sale of pharmaceuticals is highly competitive.  Many
of the Company's competitors are large well-known pharmaceutical, chemical and
health care companies which have considerably greater financial, sales,
marketing and technical resources than those of the Company.  Additionally,
many of the Company's present and potential competitors have research and
development capabilities that may allow such competitors to develop new or
improved products that may compete with the Company's product lines. The
pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid product development and
technological change.  The Company's pharmaceuticals could be rendered obsolete
or uneconomical by the development of new pharmaceuticals to treat the
conditions addressed by the Company's products or as the result of
technological advances affecting the cost of production, or as a result of
marketing or  pricing action by one or more of the Company's competitors.  The
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected by any one or more of such developments.

     The Company's thrombin product lines compete with those produced for and
marketed by Johnson & Johnson and with thrombin products distributed by
Parke-Davis, a division of the Warner-Lambert Company.  The Company's thrombin
products also compete with other hemostatic agents, including Gelfoam,
manufactured by Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc., and Surgicel, manufactured by Johnson
& Johnson.  Brevital faces competition in the I.V. anesthetic market from other
I.V. anesthetic products, including Diprivan, which is produced by Stuart
Pharmaceuticals, a business unit of Zeneca, Inc., and Versed, produced and
marketed by Roche Labs, a division of Hoffmann-LaRoche, Inc.  Each of these
competitors has substantially greater marketing, sales and financial resources
than the Company.

     The market for nutritional supplements is characterized by extensive
competition, frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and
changing customer preferences.  The Company is subject to competition from the
retail market, as well as the mass-market, direct-mail market, for nutritional
supplements, and there can be no assurance that the Company's targeted
direct-market approach will remain a viable alternative within the industry or
that other competitors may not enter the targeted direct-mail market and offer
products similar to those offered by the 

                                      8
<PAGE>   9

Company.  Many of the Company's existing and potential competitors in the
nutritional supplements market have greater financial, marketing and
research capabilities than the Company.

TRADEMARKS

     The branded products sold by the Company are sold under a variety of
trademarks.  While the Company believes that it has valid proprietary interests
in all currently used trademarks, only certain of the trademarks are registered
with the United States government.  The Company's license to the Brevital
trademark is limited to the United States and its right to utilize the MD
Pharmaceutical brand name is restricted to the United States military and its
outlets.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling, storage,
promotion, distribution and advertising of the Company's products are subject
to extensive regulation by one of or more federal agencies including the FDA,
the Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA"), the Environmental Protection
Agency ("EPA"), the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration ("OSHA"), the Department of Agriculture ("USDA"), the
Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPC"), the United States Customs Service,
and the United States Postal Service.  These activities are also regulated by
various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company's products
are sold.

     Pharmaceuticals.  All pharmaceutical manufacturers, including the Company,
are subject to regulation by the FDA.  New drugs must be approved by the FDA
before they may be marketed, except for those prescription drugs about which
the FDA has knowledge but for which the FDA is not requiring applications
either because of 'grandfather status' under 1938 legislation, 'grandfather
status' under 1962 legislation, or for other reasons.  The FDA has the
authority to revoke existing approvals, or to review the status of currently
exempt pharmaceuticals and require application and approval, of prescription
drugs  if  new information reveals that they are not safe or effective and also
regulates the advertising of prescription drugs.  The Company's marketing of
OTC drugs is affected by the establishment of FDA monographs, a regulatory
system arising under 1962 legislation.  FDA monographs effectively exempt from
FDA approval OTC drugs which are produced and labeled in accordance with the
standards set forth in FDA regulations. The rulemaking process to establish or
revise an FDA monograph allows a 12 month grace period to make appropriate
formulation or label changes following publication of the final monograph.  The
FTC regulates advertising of OTC drug products.  Drug products must be
manufactured, packaged, and labeled in accordance with their approvals and in
conformity with current good manufacturing practice ("CGMP").  The Company is
subject to periodic inspection by the FDA to assure such compliance.  Drugs
must be distributed, sampled and promoted in accordance with FDA requirements.
The FDA has extensive enforcement powers over the activities of pharmaceutical
manufacturers, including authority to seize and prohibit the sale of unapproved
or non-complying products, to halt manufacturing operations that are not in
compliance with CGMP, and to impose civil penalties and seek criminal
penalties.  The restriction or prohibition on sales of products 

                                      9
<PAGE>   10

marketed by the Company could materially adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition, and results of operation.

     The Company manufactures and distributes biological drugs, including
thrombin, which are also regulated by the FDA.  The Company's Thrombin-JMI line
of products has been approved by the FDA, and the Company's GenTrac facility is
licensed by the FDA to produce Thrombin-JMI and Thrombogen, a line of
proprietary thrombin products manufactured for Johnson & Johnson.  The Company
has a pending application for a new pre-mixed liquid thrombin formulation
product line.  Although the Company believes that this application is in the
final approval phase, additional clinical testing of the product may be
required and there can be no assurance as to when or if favorable FDA action
will be forthcoming.  While the Company intends to pursue completion of the
application process, development of the product will depend in part upon the
Company's assessment of market demand for the product and upon satisfactory
resolution of claims by Johnson & Johnson to certain rights in the product.
See "Item 3.  Legal Proceedings."

     The Company also manufactures and sells drugs which are "controlled
substances" as defined in the Controlled Substances Act, which establishes
certain security and record keeping requirements administered by the Drug
Enforcement Administration ("DEA") of the Department of Justice.  The Company
has experienced regulatory challenges with respect to compliance with the
foregoing regulations which have been resolved, but no assurance can be given
that restrictions or fines which could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations will not be
imposed upon the Company.

     Nutritional Supplements. Although the manufacturing and production of
nutritional supplements has historically been subject to less intensive
regulation than pharmaceutical products, government oversight in this area is
currently increasing.  Under the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of
1994, the FDA may exercise increased authority over the labeling and sales of
vitamin and mineral supplements.  In addition, the United States Postal Service
and the FTC regulate advertising claims with respect to the Company's products
sold by solicitation through the mail.

     Recent proposed regulations issued by the FDA require the relabeling of
dietary supplements with regard to nutrition labeling ingredient information
and nutrient content claims.  The proposed  rules are not due to become
effective until January 1997 and may be modified prior to final adoption.  The
FDA and other federal authorities are also reviewing alternative approaches to
assure the safety of vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts and other products
sold as nutritional supplements.  Although no current regulatory approval is
required prior to or after the introduction of a new nutritional supplement,
the FDA must be notified regarding the use of new dietary ingredients and
future regulation could result in a recall or discontinuance of certain
products.

     The Company believes that it is in material compliance with applicable
laws and regulations concerning nutritional supplements.  Moreover, the Company
believes that its experience in the manufacture and sale of pharmaceuticals,
and its use of certain manufacturing processes and controls  uniformly across
all product lines, will enable the Company to comply with regulations, record

                                     10

keeping, testing and manufacturing standards which may be applied to
nutritional supplements.  Nevertheless, increased regulatory oversight could
subject the Company and other manufacturers of nutritional supplements to
increased production and compliance costs and possibly require capital
expenditures.

ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS

     The Company uses certain hazardous substances which require special
handling and disposal as dictated by the EPA.  The Company believes that its
manufacturing operations are in compliance with environmental protection and
other government regulations.

EMPLOYEES

     At February 1, 1996, the Company had 334 full-time employees: 191 in
manufacturing, 50 in sales, 40 in finance and administration, 29 in quality
assurance, and 24 in distribution.  The Company believes that its relationship
with its employees is good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     The Company's distribution operations, including warehousing and shipping
for the Company's branded products, are located in a 150,000 square foot
facility on a 15 acre site in St. Louis, Missouri which was acquired by the
Company in mid-1993.  The 24,000 square feet of office space within the
facility permit it to serve as corporate headquarters and to house the
Company's administration, sales and marketing, and telemarketing operations.
The Company has centralized packaging operations for its branded nutritional
supplements at this location in addition to certain laboratory and quality
assurance facilities.  Liquid  products, including Liqui-Char and the
Derma-Scrub line, are also manufactured and packaged at this facility.

     The Company owns a facility at Canton, Ohio where its subsidiary,
JMI-Canton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("JMI-Canton"),  manufactures and packages
pharmaceuticals.  The facility is a 25,000 square foot building containing
manufacturing, laboratory and administrative space.

     The Company manufactures hemostatic thrombin products in a 40,000 square
foot FDA-licensed sterile fill facility owned by the Company which is located
on an eight acre site in Middleton, Wisconsin.

     The Company's subsidiary, JMI Phoenix Laboratories, Inc. ("JMI Phoenix"),
manufactures the Company's nutritional supplements in two adjacent buildings
owned by the Company consisting of approximately 30,000 total square feet,
located in Tempe, Arizona.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Company is not presently involved in any litigation in which it
believes an adverse outcome would materially adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.  However, the Company
has been involved in litigation and is subject to certain claims as set forth
below.

     L-Tryptophan Claims.  Many distributors and marketers of nutritional
supplements have been subjected to claims relating to the manufacture or
distribution of L-Tryptophan.  The Company is, and has in the past been, a
defendant in such lawsuits filed throughout the United States.

     The plaintiffs in these lawsuits generally allege damages resulting from
the ingestion of a product known as L-Tryptophan.  In suits involving the
Company, the Company has been one of many defendants, and the  manufacturer of
L-Tryptophan, Showa Denko, has agreed to indemnify the Company (including
Bronson) from all costs and damages with respect thereto to the extent that the
product distributed by the Company was produced by Showa Denko.  Any such
lawsuits involving Bronson have been tendered to Bronson's insurance carrier
under a policy which does not exclude L-Tryptophan claims.  As a result of the
indemnity provided by Showa Denko with respect to these types of lawsuits, and
the product liability insurance maintained by Bronson prior to its acquisition
by the Company, it is not anticipated that the Company will have any material
liability with respect to these types of lawsuits.  However, in the event that
Showa Denko is unable to satisfy or fulfill its obligations under the
indemnity, the Company would have to defend such lawsuits and be responsible
for damages, if any, which are awarded against it or for amounts in excess of
Bronson's insurance coverage of $1.0 million per claim and $1.0 million in the
aggregate.

     Johnson & Johnson Claims.  Under development and distribution agreements
between GenTrac and Johnson & Johnson entered into prior to the Company's
acquisition of GenTrac, Johnson & Johnson acquired certain rights to new
thrombin products and thrombin product improvements developed by GenTrac.
Johnson & Johnson has notified the Company that it believes that it is entitled
to exclusive distribution rights for Thrombin-JMI and a liquid thrombin product
for which FDA approval is currently pending.  Although the Company strongly
disagrees with and will vigorously contest such claims by Johnson & Johnson,
any resolution of the claims in favor of Johnson & Johnson could have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations, notwithstanding provisions in the product development
agreement which would (i) require Johnson & Johnson to reimburse GenTrac for
all development costs associated with such products, and (ii) provide the
Company's GenTrac facility with the right to manufacture such products for
Johnson & Johnson.  Even if the Company is successful in contesting Johnson &
Johnson's claim and manufactures and markets the liquid thrombin product, the
Company would be obligated to pay a royalty to Johnson & Johnson equal to five
percent of the Company's net sales of such product, up to an aggregate maximum
royalty payment of $240,000.  The Company and Johnson & Johnson are currently
attempting to negotiate an amicable resolution of such claims.

</TABLE>


     As of February 15, 1996, there were approximately 1,000 holders of record
and the Company believes approximately 5,000 non-record beneficial owners of
the Common Stock.

     During 1994 and 1995, cash dividends of $0.06 2/3 and $0.07 1/3 per share,
respectively, were declared with respect to the Common Stock.  On February 7,
1996, in connection with the three-for-two split of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, the Company declared a dividend of $0.025 per share payable on
April 1, 1996.

     The future declaration and payment of cash dividends is subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent on many factors,
including the Company's earnings, financial condition and capital needs of the
Company and such other factors as are deemed relevant by the Company's Board of
Directors. The Company anticipates that it will continue to pay a dividend each
quarter; however, the Company's Board of Directors intends to review this
policy from time to time.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

     The Company was founded in 1981 to market and distribute specialty
pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements.  To date, the Company has
completed 13 acquisitions of products and businesses which complement or expand
the Company's business, while adding selected manufacturing capacity to support
certain product lines.  The Company has achieved significant increases in sales
and net income through such acquisition activity and through related internal
growth initiatives to develop marketing opportunities with respect to the
acquired product lines.  Sales and net income have increased from $19.7 million
and $2.8 million in 1990, respectively, to $56.4 million and $9.3 million in
1995, respectively, representing five-year compounded annual growth rates of
approximately 23.4% in sales and 27.0% in net income.

     Sales are reported net of returns during the period in which product is
shipped.  These sales are subsequently adjusted for reserves incurred due to
volume or other contractual discounts on certain pharmaceuticals under
contracts with hospitals and hospital buying groups.  As of December 31, 1995,
the Company maintained a reserve of $1.5 million for such anticipated
discounts.  The reserve was increased from $1.1 million as of year-end 1994 due
to higher sales levels of the products involved.  Product returns, both of
unused pharmaceuticals and of nutritional supplements sold to consumers subject
to a limited money-back refund policy, are less than 1% of gross annual sales.
Sales are reflected prior to royalties due on sales of certain pharmaceuticals
arising from product line acquisitions.  Such royalties are recorded as a
selling expense.  Royalty arrangements typically extend for a fixed period from
the date of acquisition and do not require minimum payments to maintain
ownership or any rights to products.

     During the year ending December 31, 1995, sales were $56.4 million
comprised of $25.9 million of pharmaceutical sales and $30.5 million of
nutritional supplement sales.  The relative contributions of pharmaceuticals
and nutritional supplements to the Company's sales can be influenced by
acquisition activity in each product category as well as by marketing activity
and customer demand.  In 1993 the Company increased its presence in the
marketing of nutritional supplements as a result of its acquisition of the
operations of Bronson. In the fourth quarter of 1994 and first quarter of 1995,
sales of certain of its thrombin-based hemostats were adversely impacted by
supply difficulties.  In August 1995 the Company acquired domestic rights to
the Brevital pharmaceutical line for $14 million and a 10-year royalty of 5% on
net sales of Brevital.  During the last four months of 1995, sales of Brevital
represented approximately 10.9% of total Company sales.


                                      17
<PAGE>   18

     The Company intends to seek additional acquisitions of product lines of
niche-market pharmaceuticals to leverage its existing distribution channels and
marketing infrastructure and to market aggressively new formats or formulations
of existing products.  The success of the Company's efforts is subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties including its dependence upon key
pharmaceuticals and integration of new product acquisitions, its reliance upon
third-party manufacturers to produce certain key products, its ability to
effectively manage a changing business, uncertainties related to pharmaceutical
pricing and reimbursement and on the uncertainty of competitive forces within
the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement industries which affect both the
market for its products and the availability of suitable product lines of
acquisition.  The future results of operations, both annually and from
quarter-to-quarter, are subject to a variety of factors applicable to the
Company and to the industries and markets in which it operates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained elsewhere herein.  The following table sets forth certain
data as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated.

</TABLE>

     Sales for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 18.6% to $56.4
million from $47.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1994 and 10.0% to
$47.5 million from $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1993.  The
Company's sales increased in 1995 as the result of unit and dollar growth in
both pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements and increased in 1994 as the
result of unit and dollar growth in nutritional supplements.

     Sales of pharmaceuticals in 1995 grew 18.5% to $25.9 million from $21.9
million in 1994 due primarily to increases in sales of the Company's critical
care pharmaceutical products, including four months of Brevital sales.  Sales
of nutritional supplements in 1995 grew 18.9% to $30.5 million from $25.6
million in 1994 due to a 14.5% increase in Bronson Pharmaceutical product sales
and a 102.2% increase in sales of contract manufactured products, offset in
part by a 27.5% decline in sales of the MD Pharmaceutical products.

     Sales of pharmaceuticals in 1994 grew 3.6% to $21.9 million from $21.1
million in 1993 due primarily to increases in sales of Therevac and Liqui-Char.
Sales of Thrombinar were essentially flat due to the inability of the
Company's supplier to meet fully the Company's requirements.  Sales of
nutritional supplements in 1994 increased 16.2% to $25.6 million from $22.0
million in 1993 resulting from the inclusion of a full 12 months of sales of
the Bronson Pharmaceutical product line which was acquired in March 1993.

Gross Profit

     Gross profit during 1995 increased 27.9% or $6.4 million to $29.2 million
from $22.9 million in 1994.  As a percentage of sales, margins grew to 51.8% in
1995 from 48.1% in 1994 as a result of greater manufacturing efficiencies and
sales increases in higher margin products.


                                      19
<PAGE>   20

     Gross profit during 1994 increased 7.3% or $1.6 million to $22.9
million from $21.3 million in 1993.  As a percentage of sales, margins declined
to 48.1% in 1994 from 49.3% in 1993 as a result of increases in labor and
overhead components in cost of goods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling expenses increased 4.8% or $388,000 to $8.4 million in 1995 from
$8.0 million in 1994 primarily as a result of adding five hospital territory
managers in the fourth quarter of 1995 and due to higher direct marketing
expenses associated with larger and more frequent mailings of the Bronson
Pharmaceutical catalogue.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses decreased
to 15.0% in 1995 from 16.9% in 1994.

     Selling expenses increased 25.0% or $1.6 million to $8.0 million in 1994
from $6.4 million in 1993 as a result of the inclusion of a full 12 months of
Bronson Pharmaceutical selling expenses and greater shipping and direct
marketing expenses associated with sales of Bronson Pharmaceutical products.
Additionally, the Company added one major market hospital representative during
1994.  Selling expenses as a percentage of sales in 1994 increased to 16.9%
from 14.9% in 1993.

     General and administrative expenses in 1995 remained essentially unchanged
at approximately $4.0 million, but declined as a percentage of sales to 7.2% in
1995 from 8.4% in 1994.

     General and administrative expenses in 1994 increased 18.3% or $619,000 to
$4.0 million from $3.4 million in 1993 primarily due to the inclusion of a full
12 months of Bronson Pharmaceutical expenses and to a lesser extent due to
increases in overhead.  As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to
8.4% in 1994 from 7.8% in 1993 for the same reasons.

     Research and development expenses were eliminated in 1995 after declining
to $101,000  in 1994 from $377,000 in 1993 due to the reduction of ongoing
expenses by GenTrac associated with the development of pre-mixed liquid
thrombin formulations.

     Amortization expenses associated with intangible assets and included in
selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially unchanged in
1995 at approximately $1.4 million, as the impact of the Brevital product line
acquisition was substantially offset by declining amortization on other
products.  As a percentage of sales these expenses decreased to 2.5% in 1995
from 2.9% in 1994.

     Amortization expenses increased 20.8% or $234,000 to $1.4 million in 1994
from $1.1 million in 1993 as a result of the Bronson Pharmaceutical and Derma
System product acquisitions and the corresponding full 12 months of
amortization of the associated intangible assets acquired.  Also, as a percent
of sales, amortization expenses increased 2.9% in 1994 from 2.6% in 1993.


                                      20

Operating Income

     Operating income during 1995 increased 63.6% or $6.0 million to $15.3
million from $9.4 million in 1994, and increased as a percentage of sales to
27.1% from 19.7% in 1994, as the result of higher overall gross profits and
marginal increases in operating expenses.

     Operating income during 1994 decreased 6.3% or $627,000 to $9.4 million
from $10.0 million in 1993, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 19.7%
from 23.1% in 1993, as a result of an increase in cost of sales and in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

     Other income during 1995 reflects a one time loss of $126,000 associated
with the sale of certain real property which the Company was unable to use and
the reduction in the associated rental income.

     Interest and dividends from investing activities decreased to $101,000 in
1994 from $189,000 in 1993 due to lower cash balances resulting from the uses
of cash in 1993 associated with the Company's acquisition program and the
purchase of a 150,000 square foot distribution and headquarters facility.
Interest expense increased to $516,000 in 1994 from $354,000 in 1993 due to
borrowings associated with the acquisitions and facility purchase.

Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes increased to 37.5% of pre-tax income in
1995 compared to 36.5% of pre-tax income in 1994, primarily as the result of a
1% higher federal tax rate on annual profits exceeding $10 million.

     The provision for income taxes decreased to 36.5% of pre-tax income in
1994 compared to 37.6% of pre-tax income in 1993.  The lower rate was due to
lower effective state income tax rates.

Net Income

     Net income increased 62.5% or $3.6 million to $9.3 million in 1995 from
$5.7 million in 1994, and increased as a percentage of sales to 16.5% in 1995
from 12.1% in 1994.

     Net income decreased 7.5% or $464,000 to $5.7 million in 1994 from $6.2
million in 1993, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.1% in 1994 from
14.4% in 1993 as a result of lower operating and interest income and higher
interest expense.

<PAGE>   22

Fourth Quarter

     Sales during the fourth quarter of 1995 increased $4.7 million, or 40.6%,
to $16.4 million from $11.7 million during the fourth quarter of 1994.  Net
income during the fourth quarter of 1995 increased $1.5 million, or 112%, to
$2.8 million from $1.3 million during the fourth quarter of 1994.  Earnings per
share during the fourth quarter of 1995 were $.19, with 14.6 million shares
outstanding, compared to $.09 per share earnings, with 14.4 million average
shares outstanding during the fourth quarter of 1994.  The 1995 increases
resulted from improvements in operations throughout 1995 and a full quarter of 
Brevital sales.

     Sales during the fourth quarter of 1994 decreased $445,000, or 3.7% to
$11.7 million from $12.1 million during the fourth quarter of 1993.  Net income
during the fourth quarter of 1994 decreased $547,000, or 29.2% to $1.3 million
from $1.8 million during the fourth quarter of 1993.  Earnings per share during
the fourth quarter of 1994 were $.09, compared to $.13 during the fourth
quarter of 1993, with an average of 14.4 million shares outstanding during both
periods.  Decreases in sales and net income during the fourth quarter of 1994
were in large part the result of a product shortage of $1.1 million of
Thrombinar which was produced for the Company under contract by Armour.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Information

     The Company's current ratio declined to 2.2:1 as of December 31, 1995 from
3.6:1 as of December 31, 1994, working capital decreased to $13.4 million as of
December 31, 1995 from $15.0 million as of December 31, 1994, and debt as a
percentage of equity increased to 29.6% as of December 31, 1995 from 13.0% as
of December 31, 1994, primarily as a result of the August 31, 1995 acquisition
of the Brevital product line and the associated debt incurred in connection
therewith.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since inception the Company has financed its operations primarily through
cash flow from operations, public and private sales of equity securities and
borrowings under revolving credit facilities.  At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million and
$7.0 million, respectively.

     Total assets increased $19.8 million to $74.7 million at December 31, 1995
from $54.9 million at December 31, 1994 and total liabilities increased $11.4
million to $24.8 million at December 31, 1995 from $13.4 million at December
31, 1994.  Inventories increased to $10.7 million at December 31, 1995 from
$8.3 million at December 31, 1994 principally from higher thrombin product
inventories and the acquired Brevital inventories.  Accounts receivable
increased 

                                      22
<PAGE>   23

to $7.1 million at December 31, 1995 from $4.2 million at December 31, 1994 due
to higher year end sales in 1995.  For the same reason, in days outstanding,    
accounts receivable increased to 46 days at December 31, 1995 from 33 days at
December 31, 1994.  Net property, plant and equipment increased by $2.8 million
to $15.4 million at December 31, 1995, from $12.6 million at December 31, 1994,
primarily due to the expansion of the Company's GenTrac facility.

     In August 1995, the Company borrowed $8.7 million to fund its cash
requirements in connection with its acquisition of the exclusive United States
license to sell Brevital and to refinance existing term loan indebtedness of
$1.7 million, with interest thereon at the rate of 0.5% below prime, payable 
in equal monthly installments until paid in full in September 2000.  Such 
indebtedness is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.  The 
Company may prepay such indebtedness without penalty.  As of December 31, 1995,
the outstanding balance of this term loan was $7.8 million.  In addition, the
Company is indebted to Lilly in the principal amount of $7.0 million bearing
interest at 7.0% and due in installments of $4.0 million in August 1996 and $3.0
million in August 1997.

     Under revolving credit and other borrowing lines available to the Company
at January 31, 1996, the Company had an unused line of credit aggregating $4.0
million.  Such line of credit is secured by substantially all of the Company's
assets and contains certain restrictive provisions, including maintaining a
maximum tangible net worth ratio, maintaining a minimum current ratio,
obtaining prior approval of acquisition financings in excess of $3.0 million
and limiting the amount of additional borrowings.  The Company will be in
default under its revolving credit and borrowing lines if (i) Dennis Jones
ceases to be the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer,
or (ii) Dennis Jones and Judith Jones, collectively, own less than 15% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (iii) a third party
acquires 50% or more of the shares of the Company's capital stock without the
lender's prior approval.

     The Company has experienced only moderate raw material and labor price
increases in recent years.  While the Company has passed some price increases
along to customers, the Company has primarily benefitted from rapid sales
growth, negating most inflationary pressures.

     The Company's manufacturing operations are not capital intensive and, as
such, the impact of inflation on the property, plant and equipment and
associated depreciation expense of the Company has been minimal.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     Adoption of FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", and the

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by

Taxes."  The cumulative effect of adopting Statement No. 109 as of January 1,
1993 was to increase net income by $207,100.  Application of the new income tax
rules for 1993 did not have a significant effect on net income before

     Cash or Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan and Trust.  Effective as of January
1, 1987, the Company adopted a Cash or Deferred Profit-Sharing Plan and Trust
known as JMI's Employee Retirement 401(k) Plan ("401(k) Plan").  The 401(k)
Plan has been amended from time-to-time and was amended and restated as of
January 1, 1995.  The 401(k) Plan provides employees with a convenient way to 
save on a regular and long-term basis and encourages employees to make and 
continue careers with the Company. During 1995, the Company made matching 
contributions to the 401(k) Plan of $33,032 to the Named Executives.

     To become eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan, an employee must
have completed six months of service and have reached his or her eighteenth
birthday ("Eligible Employee").  As of January 1, 1996, the Company had
approximately 275 Eligible Employees, including the directors who are also
Named Executives (Dennis M. Jones, Judith A. Jones, Michael T. Bramblett, G.
Andrew Franz and David A. McLaughlin).  Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, an
Eligible Employee who participates ("Participant") may direct that a portion 
of his or her compensation be contributed to the 401(k) Plan ("Elective 
Contributions").  The Company will contribute a matching amount determined by
the Company each year (five percent in each of 1993, 1994 and 1995) of the 
Participant's compensation ("Company Contributions").  In addition to matching
contributions, the Company may make a discretionary contribution which is
allocated among Participants in proportion to compensation.  The Participants 
are not allowed to make any voluntary contributions to the 401(k) Plan, other 
than their Elective Contributions.  The Company Contributions are subject to a 
vesting schedule described below and may not be withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan 
until age 59 1/2, retirement, termination of employment, or other condition
specified in the 401(k) Plan.  In addition, Participants may withdraw their 
Elective Contributions to the 401(k) Plan at any time after they are made for
reasons of hardship as described in the 401(k) Plan.  Elective Contributions
are always 100% vested.  Company Contributions become vested according to the 
following schedule:

Forfeitures of discretionary Company Contributions will be allocated to the 
accounts of other Participants.  Forfeitures of matching contributions are
allocated in proportion to matching contributions.

     The 401(k) Plan Trustee may invest in investments as described in the
401(k) Plan, including stocks, bonds, notes and other property.  Participants 
may not obtain loans from their accounts under any circumstances.  Company 
Contributions have, at times, been invested in shares of the Company's Common 
Stock acquired in the open market.  On February 15, 1996, the 401(k) Plan held 
90,000 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for the three-for-two stock split 
effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend to be paid March 1, 1996 to 
holders of record as of February 23, 1996).

     The Company is the 401(k) Plan Administrator and currently pays all
expenses of the 401(k) Plan other than audit fees, which are paid by the 401(k)
Plan.  The Company has appointed Dennis M. Jones and Judith A. Jones as
Trustees of the 401(k) Plan.  The 401(k) Plan may be modified by the Board at
any time, provided that no modification shall adversely affect the rights of
the Participants or divert any of the trust fund to purposes other than the
benefit of the Participants.

consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  Our audits also 
included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).  
These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedule based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Jones Medical Industries, Inc. at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Also in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

        As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, in
1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
 
     The Company is engaged in the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of
pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. The Company's principal customers
include consumers, retail pharmacies, hospitals (through wholesale drug
distributors), physicians, and the United States government, of which sales to
the United States government totaled approximately $4,600,000, $4,500,000, and
$3,250,000 in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. No one customer accounted for
more than 10% of the Company's consolidated sales in 1993, 1994, or 1995. The
Company's most significant product line is a topical hemostat with sales
totaling approximately $13,126,000, $12,681,000, and $14,573,000 in 1993, 1994,
and 1995, respectively. The Company's only source of supply for this product
line is from GenTrac, Inc. ("GenTrac"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jones Medical
Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
     Cash equivalents in short-term money market accounts and other investments
with original maturities of less than three months are stated at cost plus
accrued interest and are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
INVENTORIES
 
     Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined
on the first-in, first-out basis.
 
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
 
     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed
by the straight-line method over the useful life of the assets as follows:

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
     The cost of product line or business acquisitions is allocated first to
identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess
of cost over identifiable assets and liabilities is

recorded as goodwill. Amortization is provided using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

                                 ASSET CATEGORY                            USEFUL LIFE

        <S>                                                                <C>
        Customer lists...................................................   20 years
        Distribution systems, trademarks, and licenses...................  5-30 years
        Restrictive covenants and other intangibles......................  5-10 years
        Goodwill.........................................................  25-40 years
</TABLE>
 
     The Company continually reevaluates the propriety of the carrying amount of
goodwill and other intangibles as well as the related amortization period to
determine whether current events and circumstances warrant adjustments to the
carrying values and/or revised estimates of useful lives. This evaluation is
based on the Company's projection of the undiscounted operating income before
depreciation, amortization, and interest over the remaining lives of the
amortization periods of related goodwill and intangible assets. The projections
are based on the historical trend line of actual results since the commencement
of operations and adjusted for expected changes in operating results. To the
extent such projections indicate that the undiscounted operating income (as
defined above) is not expected to be adequate to recover the carrying amounts of
related intangibles, such carrying amounts are written down by charges to
expense in amounts equal to the excess of the carrying amount of intangible
assets over the respective fair values. At this time, the Company believes that
no significant impairment of the goodwill and other intangibles has occurred and
that no reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     Sales are reported net of returns during the period in which product is
shipped. These sales are subsequently adjusted for reserves incurred due to
volume or other contractual discounts on certain pharmaceuticals under contracts
with hospitals and hospital buying groups. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the
Company maintained a reserve of $1,500,000 and $1,050,000, respectively, for
such anticipated discounts.
 
EARNINGS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE
 
     Earnings per common and common equivalent share are based on the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents
outstanding during each year (14,256,640 in 1993, 14,391,084 in 1994, and
14,589,150 in 1995) after giving retroactive effect to a three-for-two stock
split declared February 7, 1996. The computation assumes that outstanding stock
options were exercised and the proceeds used to purchase common shares.
Outstanding Preferred Stock was assumed to have been converted to Common Stock
at the issuance date.
 
STOCK OPTIONS
 
     The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (APB 25) and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternative fair value accounting provided under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's incentive stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
 
     In connection with various nonqualified stock option plans, certain options
have been granted at exercise prices below the fair market value of the Common
Stock at the grant date. Differences

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
between the option prices and fair market values at the dates of grant are
charged to compensation expense ratably over the future service vesting periods.
 
DIRECT-RESPONSE ADVERTISING
 
     Costs associated with the production of the Company's direct-response mail
order catalog are capitalized and amortized over the expected period of future
benefit, which typically does not extend beyond six months. At December 31, 1994
and 1995, approximately $181,000 and $392,000, respectively, of capitalized
catalog costs are included in the accompanying balance sheets. Advertising
expense associated with the catalog in 1993, 1994, and 1995 totalled $584,000,
$902,000, and $1,223,000, respectively.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1993 and 1994 financial
statements to conform to the 1995 presentation.
 
3. COMMON STOCK SPLIT
 
     On February 7, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock
split effected in the form of a stock dividend to be paid on March 1, 1996 to
holders of record on February 23, 1996. The financial statements, including
stock option, share, per share data, and market prices, have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the split.
 
4. ACQUISITIONS
 
  Brevital
 
     On August 31, 1995, the Company entered into a perpetual licensing
agreement with Eli Lilly & Company ("Lilly") for the exclusive United States
marketing rights to the Brevital product line. The purchase price of
approximately $14.0 million was financed with bank debt of $7.0 million and
Lilly financing of $7.0 million. Approximately $13.0 million was allocated to
the perpetual license with an amortizable life of 30 years, and $1.0 million was
allocated to a restrictive covenant with an amortizable life of 10 years.
 
  Bronson Pharmaceuticals
 
     On March 24, 1993, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Bronson
Pharmaceuticals ("Bronson"), a California subchapter S corporation. The cost of
the acquisition of $10,500,000 has been recorded using the purchase method of
accounting, and the results of Bronson's operations, since the date of
acquisition, have been included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair market
value of the net assets acquired of approximately $2,700,000 is being amortized
over 40 years using the straight-line method.
 
     The following summarized unaudited pro forma results of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1993 assume the acquisition occurred as of the beginning
of the respective period. The pro forma results have been prepared for
comparative purposes only and do not purport to be

  Derma System Professional Skin Care
 
     On February 12, 1993, the Company acquired the Derma System Professional
Skin Care product line for approximately $3,500,000 which was paid in cash. The
entire purchase price was allocated to intangible assets, the majority of which

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
     On March 16, 1995, the Company increased its available borrowings under the
March 16, 1993 credit arrangement from $2.0 million to $4.0 million. Interest on
outstanding borrowings is based on the bank base rate and is payable monthly.
Borrowings on the line of credit are secured by substantially all of the assets
of the Company. There were no borrowings under the line of credit agreement in
1994 and 1995.
 
     The bank credit agreement including the note payable to bank and the line
of credit arrangement contain certain restrictive provisions including
maintaining a maximum tangible net worth ratio, maintaining a minimum current
ratio, obtaining prior approval of acquisition financings in excess of $3.0
million and limiting the amount of additional borrowings. The Company will be in
default under its revolving credit and borrowing lines if (i) Dennis Jones
ceases to be the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or
(ii) Dennis Jones and Judith Jones, collectively, own less than 15% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or (iii) a third party
acquires 50% or more of the shares of the Company's capital stock without the
lender's prior approval.
 
10. INCOME TAXES
 
     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes." The cumulative effect of adopting Statement No. 109 as of January 1,
1993 was to increase net income by $207,100.
 
     Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of
the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1995 and
1994 are as follows:

11.  PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Company's Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, bears
dividends at an annual dividend rate of $0.16 per share. Each preferred share
has voting rights equal to one share of Common Stock and is convertible into
1.75 shares (2.625 shares after giving retroactive effect to the three-for-two
stock split declared February 7, 1996) of the Company's Common Stock.
 
     During 1995, the Company reached a settlement regarding a portion of the
contingent purchase price payable to the former stockholders of GenTrac. In
connection with the settlement, 44,004 shares of the Company's Preferred Stock
held in an escrow account, pending final dispute resolution, were released from
escrow and returned to the Company. These shares of Preferred Stock with an
original cost of $381,277 have been canceled by the Company. The accompanying
1995 financial statements reflect the resulting $381,277 reduction of goodwill
associated with the contingent purchase price and reduction in Preferred Stock.
 
12.  STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
     The Company has various incentive stock option ("ISO") plans for executives
and employees. In connection with the ISO plans, options to purchase Common
Stock are granted at option prices not less than the fair market values of the
Common Stock at the time the options are granted and vest ratably over a
five-year period from the grant dates. At December 31, 1995, options for 170,499
shares of Common Stock are available for future grant. There were 479,850
options granted but unexercised under the ISO plans at December 31, 1995, of
which 55,500 were exercised subsequent to December 31, 1995.
 
     In addition, the Company has various nonqualified stock option ("NSO")
plans for certain officers and independent directors. Certain of these options
offer exercise prices below the fair market value of the Common Stock at the
date of grant. In accordance with APB 25, differences between the option prices
and the fair market values at the dates of grant have been accrued ratably over
the five-year vesting periods. Total compensation expense in 1993, 1994, and
1995 related to the NSO plans was $67,000, $122,000, and $123,500, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, there were 103,500 options granted but unexercised under
the NSO plans, of which 75,000 shares were exercised subsequent to December 31,
1995.

     Subsequent to December 31, 1995, options to purchase 70,500 shares of
Common Stock were granted to certain employees of the Company under the ISO
plan. The option price of $16 per share represents the fair market value of the
stock on the date the options were granted. The options vest over periods of
five to seven years from the grant date.
 
     In addition, subsequent to December 31, 1995, options to purchase 450,000
shares of Common Stock were granted to certain officers of the Company under
time accelerated stock option agreements pursuant the Company's 1994 Incentive
Stock Plan. The option price of $16 per share represents the fair market value
of the stock on the date the options were granted. The options become
exercisable at the end of eight years from the grant date; however, the options
may become exercisable if certain targeted Common Stock prices are attained as
follows: $20 for the 1997 installment, $26.67 for the 1998 installment, $32 for
the 1999 installment, $40 for the 2000 installment, and $50 for the 2001

14. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
 
     The Company currently carries product liability coverage of $10,000,000 per
occurrence and $10,000,000 in the aggregate on a "claims made" basis. There is
no assurance that the Company's present insurance will cover any potential
claims that may be asserted in the future. In addition, the Company is subject
to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its
business.
 
     Under development and distribution agreements between GenTrac and Johnson &
Johnson entered into prior to the Company's acquisition of GenTrac, Johnson &
Johnson acquired certain rights to new thrombin products and thrombin product
improvements developed by GenTrac. Johnson & Johnson has notified the Company
that it believes that it is entitled to exclusive distribution rights for
Thrombin-JMI and a liquid thrombin product for which FDA approval is currently
pending. Although the Company strongly disagrees with and will vigorously
contest such claims by Johnson & Johnson, any resolution of the claims in favor
of Johnson & Johnson could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
     The Company currently relies on Lilly for the manufacture of Brevital. The
Company has entered into a 10-year manufacturing agreement with Lilly, which may
be terminated by Lilly at any time after the first five years by giving at least
five years notice to the Company prior to ceasing the manufacture of Brevital.
In the event of such termination, Lilly must use reasonable efforts to assist
the Company in obtaining all the necessary licenses and approvals to enable the
Company or an alternative manufacturer to manufacture Brevital. Lilly is the
sole manufacturer of Brevital and any alternative manufacturer would require
regulatory change-in-site qualification to manufacture the product. In the event
of any interruption in the supply of Brevital from Lilly due to regulatory or
other causes, there can be no assurance that the Company could make alternative
manufacturing arrangements on a timely basis, if at all. Such an interruption
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.
 
     In connection with certain product line acquisitions, the Company is
obligated to pay royalties of up to 10 percent of certain product sales through
2005. Total royalty expense in 1993, 1994, and 1995 was approximately $621,000,
$636,000, and $593,000, respectively.

               shall be held immediately after, and at the same place as, the
               annual meeting of shareholders. In addition, the President may
               provide, or the Board of Directors may provide by resolution, the
               time and place, either at the Corporation's principal office or
               at such other location, for the holding of additional regular
               meetings.

Section 4.02   Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may
               be called by or at the request of the President, or not less than
               forty percent (40%) of the directors then in office. Such
               meetings may be held either at the Corporation's principal office

               and all business may be transacted at a special meeting.

<PAGE>   5
               shall, at least three days before the meeting, give notice
               thereof by any usual means of communication. Such notice may be
               waived in writing and shall specify the purpose for which the
               meeting is called. Attendance by a director at a meeting shall
               constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a
               director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting
               to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not
               lawfully called.

Section 4.04   Presumption of Assent.  A director of the Corporation who is
               present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on
               any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented
               to the action taken unless his contrary vote is recorded or his
               dissent is otherwise entered in the minutes of the meeting or
               unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the
               person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the
               adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered
               mail to the Secretary of the Corporation immediately after the
               adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply
               to a director who voted in favor of such action. 

Section 4.05   Quorum.  A majority of the entire Board of Directors shall
               constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any
               meeting of the Board of Directors. If a quorum shall fail to
               attend any meeting, a majority of those present may adjourn the
               meeting to another place, date, or time without further notice or
               waiver thereof.

Section 4.06   Manner of Acting.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the vote
               of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a
               quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors.
               Vacancies in the Board of Directors may be filled as provided in
               Section 3.04 of these Bylaws.

Section 4.07   Informal Action by Directors.  Action taken by the directors
               without a meeting is nevertheless the action of the Board of
               Directors, if written consent to the action in question is signed
               by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the
               proceedings of the Board of Directors, whether done before or
               after the action so taken.

Section 4.08   Committees.  The Board of Directors may appoint such committees
               with such members as it shall determine to be necessary, as
               specified in Article 5.

Section 4.09   Participation in Meetings by Conference Telephone.  Members of
               the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may 
               participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of
               conference telephone or similar communications equipment that
               enables all persons participating in the meeting to hear each
               other.  Such participation shall constitute presence in person at
               such meeting.

               exercised or done by a corporation.

Section 4.11   Compensation of Directors.  Directors, as such, may receive,
               pursuant to resolution of the Board of Directors, fixed fees and

               without limitation, their services as members of committees of
               the directors.

Section 4.12   Reports.  The Board of Directors shall furnish the shareholders
               with an annual report of the Corporation's business and quarterly
               financial reports.

               time designate one or more committees of the Board, with such
               lawfully delegable powers and duties as it thereby confers, to
               serve at the pleasure of the Board and shall, for those
               committees, elect directors to serve as members, designating, if
               it desires, other directors as alternative members who may
               replace any absent or disqualified member at a meeting of the
               committee.

Section 5.02   Conduct of Business.  Each committee may determine the procedural
               rules for meeting and conducting its business and shall act in

               required by law. Adequate provision shall be made for notice to
               members of all meetings; a simple majority of the members shall
               constitute a quorum; and all matters shall be determined by a
               majority vote of the members present. Action may be taken by any
               committee without a meeting if all members thereof consent
               thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with
               the minutes of the proceedings of such committee.

Section 5.03   Vacancy.  Any vacancy occurring on a committee shall be filled by

Section 5.06   Responsibility of Directors.  The designation of a committee and
               the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve
               the Board of Directors or any member thereof, of any
               responsibility or liability imposed upon it or him by law. If
               action taken by a committee is not thereafter formally considered
               by the Board, a director may dissent from such action by filing
               his written objection with the Secretary with reasonable
               promptness after learning of such action.

               Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others

Section 8.01   Scope of Indemnification.

               (a)   The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
               party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
               pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
               criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
               by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that
               he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
               Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
               Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
               corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
               enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
               judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
               reasonably incurred by him in connection with such suit, action
               or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
               reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
               of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
               proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
               unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
               judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a 

                                       9

<PAGE>   10
               plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
               create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith
               and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
               opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with
               respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable
               cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

               (b)  The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
               party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
               pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
               Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the
               fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
               the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
               Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
               corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
               enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually
               and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
               settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and
               in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
               best interests of the Corporation, and except that no
               indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
               matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
               liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that,
               the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in
               which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
               application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
               view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
               and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
               Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

               (c)  Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a
               civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
               Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
               suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
               behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it
               shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be
               indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.
               Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so
               paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of
               Directors deems appropriate.

               (d)  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
               herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
               those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be
               entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or
               disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
               official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
               holding such office.

Section 8.02   Insurance.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
               on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
               employee or agent of the

               Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
               corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
               enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
               incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his
               status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the
               power to indemnify him against such liability under the
               provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
               Delaware or of these By-Laws.

Section 8.03   Miscellaneous.

               (a)  The Corporation's indemnity of any person who is or was a
               director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or
               was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
               officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
               joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be reduced by any
               amounts such person may collect as indemnification (i) under any
               policy of insurance purchased and maintain on his behalf by the
               Corporation, or (ii) from such other corporation, partnership,
               joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

               (b)  Nothing contained in this Article 8, or elsewhere in these
               By-Laws, shall operate to indemnify any director or officer if
               such indemnification is for any reason contrary to law, either as
               a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Federal
               Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or

               Corporation" include, in addition to the resulting or surviving
               corporation, all constituent corporations absorbed in a
               consolidation or merger which if its separate existence had
               continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
               directors, officers or employees, or agents, so that any person
               who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
               constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
               such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or
               agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
               or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the
               provisions of this Article 8 with respect to the resulting or
               surviving corporation as he would if he had served the resulting
               or surviving corporation in the same capacity.

               (d)   The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by
               this Article 8 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be
               a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the
               benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a
               person.

               (e)   No amendment or repeal of this Article 8 shall apply to or
               have any affect on indemnification allowed or compelled with
               respect to any acts or omissions

                    Certificates of Stock and Their Transfer

Section 9.01   Certificates for Shares. Certificates representing shares of the
               Corporation shall be issued, in such form as the Board of
               Directors shall determine, to every shareholder for the fully
               paid shares owned by him. These certificates shall be signed by
               the President or Vice President and the Secretary or Treasurer
               (or Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer). Any and all
               signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. The
               certificates shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise
               identified; and the name and address of the persons to whom they
               are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be
               entered on the stock transfer books of the Corporation.

Section 9.02   Transfer of Shares. Transfer of shares shall be made on the stock
               transfer books of the Corporation only upon surrender of the

               record holder thereof or by his duly authorized agent, transferee
               or legal representative. All certificates surrendered for
               transfer shall be cancelled before new certificates for the
               transferred shares shall be issued.

Section 9.03   Closing Transfer Books and Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of
               determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any
               meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express
               consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or
               entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution
               of for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may
               provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a
               period stated but not to exceed, in any case, sixty days. If the
               stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of
               determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a
               meeting of the shareholders, such books shall be closed for at
               least ten days immediately preceding such meeting.

               In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of
               Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any
               such determination of shareholders, such record date in any case
               to be not more than sixty days, and in case of a meeting of
               shareholders, not less than ten days immediately preceding the
               date on which the particular action requiring such determination
               of shareholders is to be taken.

               If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is
               fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of
               or to vote at a meeting of


                                       12
<PAGE>   13


                   shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive
                   payment of a dividend, the date next preceding the day on
                   which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which
                   the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such
                   dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record
                   date for such determination of shareholders.

   Section 9.04    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  The Board of
                   Directors may authorize the issuance of a new share
                   certificate in place of a certificate claimed to have been
                   lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon receipt of an affidavit of
                   such fact from the person claiming the loss, theft or
                   destruction.  When authorizing such issuance of a new
                   certificate, the Board may require the claimant to give the
                   Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct to indemnify
                   the Corporation against loss from any claim with respect to
                   the certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen, or
                   destroyed; or the Board may, by resolution reciting that the
                   circumstances justify such action, authorize the issuance of
                   the new certificate without requiring such a bond.

   Section 9.05    Holder of Record.  The Corporation may treat as
                   absolute owner of shares the person in whose name the
                   shares stand of record on its books, just as if that person
                   has full competency, capacity and authority to exercise all
                   rights of ownership, irrespective of any knowledge or notice
                   to the contrary or any description indicating a
                   representative, pledge or other fiduciary relationship or
                   any reference to any other instrument or to the rights of
                   any other person appearing upon its record or upon the share
                   certificate, except that any person  furnishing to the
                   Corporation proof of his appointment as a fiduciary shall be
                   treated as if he were a holder of record of its shares.

benefit of and may be exercised only by employees of the Company, or its
affiliates, as designated from time to time by appropriate resolutions of the
Board of Directors, whose compensation is not required to be determined on the
basis of the number of hours per week actually worked for purposes of either
the minimum wage provisions or the overtime wage provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, as amended.

applicable shall be common stock as defined in the form of Agreement attached

Internal Revenue Code, no employee shall be granted an incentive stock option
pursuant to this Plan if such employee at the time owns 10% or more of the
common stock of the Company, and the number of shares of stock subject to any
incentive stock option will be limited to such number as when added to the
shares of common stock of the Company then owned by such employee shall not

this Plan and any other incentive stock option plan or plans of the Company or
its affiliates) shall not exceed $100,000.

this Plan shall be evidenced by the execution of an Agreement substantially in
one of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and A-2, with such
modifications as may be reasonably determined by the President of the Company,
signed on behalf of the Company and by the employee to whom such incentive
stock option is granted.

be granted within ten (10) years after the adoption of this Plan, and every
incentive stock option so granted shall be exercisable not more than ten (10)

              purchase price in cash and pay the balance of the purchase price

                interest payable annually with each installment of principal at
                the rate of 8% per annum.

        At such time as the Company tenders payment of the purchase price for
the Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have full title to the Common
Stock and may cancel the shares of said Common Stock on its books; and
Executive shall do all acts and execute all receipts, assignments and other
documents that the Company may reasonably request in order to evidence the fact
that full title to the Common Stock is vested in the Company. The right and

such assignment shall not relieve the Company of its liability to Executive to
purchase said stock pursuant to the terms hereof.

        4.3   Nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed to prohibit
Executive from owning as an investment not more than two percent (2%) of the
outstanding stock or other ownership interests of any business or enterprise
which competes with the business in which the Company is engaged, if such stock
or other ownership interests are publicly traded.

                                       5.

        Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to be evidence of any
agreement, contract or understanding, express or implied, that the Company (or
any of its Affiliates) will employ Executive in any particular capacity or at
any particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time or that
Executive agrees to be employed or remain in the employ of the



                                       8

particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time.

                                      6.


        The Option granted hereunder is not transferable by Executive other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable,
during Executive's lifetime, only by Executive.

                                      7.


        7.1     Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, this Agreement

restrictions.

    average market price for the primary computation and the year-end
    market price (if higher than average market price) for the fully diluted
    computation is less than 3% of the applicable outstanding shares.
