                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1995

THE COMPANY:

The Company operates in one business segment, the manufacture and distribution
of veterinary and human injectable products (see "Suspension of Manufacturing
Activities" below).

On April 13, 1995, a merger (the "Merger") of GEN/Rx, Inc.'s ("GEN/Rx") newly
formed wholly-owned subsidiary, GEN/Rx Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., with and
into AUSA, Inc. ("AUSA") was consummated. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company
acquired all the assets of AUSA, a company engaged in the distribution of
injectable drugs to the hospital market. AUSA was a subsidiary of Apotex USA,
Inc. ("Apotex"). As part of the Merger transaction, the Company issued to Apotex
(the former shareholder of AUSA) 13,288,874 shares of its Common Stock and is
obligated to issue to Apotex, an additional 2,064,966 shares as soon as
practicable following an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock. After issuance of
the additional shares, Apotex will own approximately seventy four (74%) percent
of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition, warrants to
purchase 270,000 shares of common stock of GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share were
issued to various individuals in connection with the Merger.

Since the former shareholders of AUSA own 74% of GEN/Rx, Inc., the transaction
has been accounted for as if AUSA acquired the net assets of GEN/Rx for the
previously issued and outstanding shares of GEN/Rx. The excess of the fair value
of the previously issued and outstanding stock of GEN/Rx, Inc. over the fair
value of its assets has been recorded as goodwill.

In addition, in connection with the merger and pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated April 13, 1995 between GEN/Rx and Apotex, Apotex agreed to loan the
Company $500,000 represented by a Term Note dated April 13, 1995 and up to
$2,000,000 represented by a revolving line of credit note dated April 13, 1995.
The notes bear interest at 1% over prime and mature on April 13, 1998. These
notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company. In addition, as
additional consideration for the loans, Apotex will receive warrants exercisable
at $1.00 per share to purchase shares of the Company's common stock in an amount
equal to one share for each dollar advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The
warrants expire on April 13, 1998. At October 11, 1995, the Company had borrowed
$2,500,000 pursuant to this Loan Agreement.

BASIS OF PREPARATION:

The accompanying financial statements as at September 30, 1995 and for the nine
and three month periods ended September 30, 1995 are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management of the Company such statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the
information presented therein. The balance sheet as at December 31, 1994 was
derived from the unaudited financial statements of AUSA at such date. AUSA
commenced operations as Yorpharm, a division of Apotex, in July 1994. In April
1995, prior to the Merger, the net assets of Yorpharm were transferred to the
newly formed corporation, AUSA.

Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial
statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly,
these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent
annual financial statements.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
those to be achieved for a full year.

SUSPENSION OF MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES:

In connection with an inspection of its manufacturing facility from October 1994
through May 1995 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), GEN/Rx,
Inc.'s subsidiary, American Veterinary Products, Inc. ("AVP") received a
"warning letter" from the Denver District Office of the FDA setting forth
certain alleged deviations from current good manufacturing practice regulations
and alleged violations of related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act.

In June 1995, following new management's investigation of the matters set forth
in the warning letter, AVP suspended the manufacture of veterinary products
indefinitely. As a consequence of these events, management is currently
exploring its alternatives with respect to such business, including its
disposition by sale or otherwise or renovation and upgrade of AVP's facility.

Results of operations of AVP since suspension of its operations has been shown
as "Idle facility costs" on the consolidated statement of operations.

POSSIBLE IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL:

As of each balance sheet date, management assesses whether there has been an
impairment in the value of excess cost over net assets of an acquired company by
comparing anticipated undiscounted future cash flows from the related operating
activities with the carrying value. The factors being considered by management
in performing this assessment include the length of time since acquisition,
current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of
obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Management has not
yet concluded its assessment, however, should it determine that there is an
impairment of goodwill, the Company will take a charge for the write-down of
goodwill and such charge may be material.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the accounts of
AUSA from January 1, 1995 and GEN/Rx, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
AVP, from the date of GEN/Rx's acquisition on April 13, 1995. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
References herein to the "Company" refer to GEN/Rx, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
or GEN/Rx, Inc., as the context may require.

INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower cost of (first-in, first-out) or market
basis, and consist of the following:

credit terminated the

financing agreement between it and AVP.  The outstanding balance of $103,000
was paid in full.

NOTES PAYABLE--APOTEX:

The balance of $1,787,000 reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at
September 30, 1995 represents the discounted balance of $2,294,000 due Apotex
pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in connection with the Merger. The
original issue discount of $600,000 was the assigned value of the warrants
issued to Apotex in connection with the loan agreement. See "The Company" above.
The discounted balance of the notes reflects an effective interest rate of
approximately 18%.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

The Company is a defendant or plaintiff in certain actions arising in the normal
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of
these matters will not have a material effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In June 1995, the Company made a determination to suspend the operations of
American Veterinary Products, Inc. indefinitely after concluding that the time,
cost and other resources required to address certain regulatory problems set
forth in a warning letter issued by the US Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ("FDA"),
continue production activities and prepare for a possible upgrade to the
facility and equipment would be too great for it to pursue. As a consequence of
these events, management is currently exploring its alternatives with respect to
such business, including its disposition by sale or otherwise or renovation and
upgrade of AVP's facility. In addition, management is currently assessing the
value of goodwill acquired in connection with the business combination compared
to its carrying value. As a result, the Company may, in the future, take a
charge for the write-down of goodwill. See "Notes to Financial
Statements--Possible Impairment of Goodwill".

Until such time that AVP resumes its operations, product development, selling
and distribution and general and administrative costs will be that of AUSA, a
subsidiary engaged in the distribution of injectable generic drugs primarily to
hospitals. Results of operations of AVP since suspension of its operations has
been shown as "Idle facility costs" on the consolidated statement of operations.

The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

NET SALES:

Net sales for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1995 were
$5,061,000 and $1,434,000, respectively. Of such amounts, $779,000 and $0,
respectively, represented sales of products manufactured and sold to the
veterinary market. See "Notes to Financial Statements--Suspension of
Manufacturing Activities".

Sales of injectable products for human use were $4,282,000 and $1,434,000 for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1995, respectively. The Company's
current injectable product line for human use is purchased for resale from
unrelated manufacturers and consists of six drugs representing approximately
sixteen products. Sales of one of these products accounted for approximately 70%
of net sales during the nine month period. Competition on this product was
minimal during the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Management expects
competition on sales of this product in the near term to intensify, accordingly;
sales and gross margins of this product are expected to decrease from levels
experienced in the current period.

While management expects future sales to increase from current levels, any
increase is dependent on the Company's ability to (i) raise sufficient levels of
capital, (ii) broaden the product line and (iii) expand its customer base. The
Company is currently taking steps to address these issues, however, there can be
no assurance that such efforts will be successful. See "Financial
Condition--Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financing" below.

OPERATING EXPENSES:

Selling and Distribution:

The Company recently hired a vice president of sales and marketing to assist
management in increasing sales and improving customer service. Immediate
attention has been given to (i) sourcing additional products for distribution,
(ii) expanding the Company's customer base and (iii) reorganizing and increasing
the Company's internal sales staff to optimize their productivity and geographic
dispersion. As a result, management expects selling and distribution costs to
continue to increase in the future.

                                       8
<PAGE>   9
General and Administrative:

Management expects general and administrative costs to increase in the future as
a result of, increases in personnel costs, facility costs, and the design and
implementation of management information systems in anticipation of the growth
of the Company's business.

Product Development:

The Company intends to pursue an aggressive product development strategy,
however; such a strategy is dependent on the Company's ability to raise
sufficient capital to finance the development of targeted products. (see
"Financing" below) The Company is also seeking alternatives to supplement, its
product development efforts, such as distribution agreements, license agreements
and joint ventures. During the current quarter, the Company entered into five
agreements for the development of product that the Company intends to market in
the future. The Company expects to enter into additional product development
agreements in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1995, the Company had cash and working capital deficiency of
$226,000 and $106,000, respectively. The Company is dependent on continued
financing from its parent, Apotex, or third parties (see "Financing" below). The
Company's ability to generate profits and working capital is dependent upon (i)
the success of management's efforts to raise capital or secure other forms of
financing to fund future operating losses of its operations, (ii) fund efforts
to broaden the Company's product line including research and development costs
and product acquisitions, and (iii) increase sales, accelerate collections of
accounts receivable and control inventory levels and operating costs.

Financing

In June 1995, the financial institution which had provided the Company with a
line of credit based upon levels of accounts receivable and inventories,
terminated the financing agreement between it and AVP. The Company repaid the
outstanding balance of $103,000 in July.

The Company's current level of liquidity and capital resources is not sufficient
to fund current operating losses and growth of the Company's business. The
Company recognizes the need to raise additional capital and/or arrange for
financing of its operating activities including product development efforts.

The Company and Apotex are currently engaged in discussions relating to an
amendment of the existing Loan Agreement entered into on April 13, 1995 whereby
Apotex would advance the Company additional funds for working capital and other
corporate purposes. In addition, management is seeking alternate sources of
financing its operations including the sale of additional capital stock.

There can be no assurance that the Company and Apotex will be able to agree on a
financing arrangement or that it or other alternative sources of financing would
be available to the Company on terms agreeable to it.
