NOTE A - MERGER WITH CIRCA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. ("CIRCA")

On July 17, 1995, the stockholders of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
"Company") and Circa approved the merger in which Circa became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, Circa
stockholders received 0.86 of a share of the Company's common stock for each
Circa share.  Accordingly, the Company issued approximately 18.7 million shares
of its common stock for all of the outstanding common shares of Circa.  The
merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests.  The Company's financial statements have been
retroactively restated to include the results  of Circa for all periods
presented.

NOTE B - GENERAL

The unaudited, consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, as well as related notes
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments), necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as
of June 30, 1996, and the results of operations for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 1996.  The
accounting policies followed during the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 were the same as those disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE C - INVESTMENT IN ANDRX CORPORATION ("ANDRX")

The Company owns 2,091,790 shares of the outstanding common stock of Andrx and

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

Introductory note:  The following discussion gives effect to the merger between
the Company and Circa as more fully described in Note A of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company cautions readers that certain important factors may affect the
Company's actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from
any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this
Report, or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of the Company.  Such
factors include, but are not limited to, changing market conditions; the
availability and cost of raw materials; the timely development, FDA approval
and market acceptance of the Company's products, the products producing
royalties for the Company and the products being developed and marketed by the
Company's joint ventures; and other risks detailed herein or detailed from time
to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  In
addition, the U.S. generic drug industry is highly competitive, with pricing
determined by many factors, including the number and timing of product
introductions.  Although the price of a generic product generally declines over
time as competitors introduce additional versions of the product, the actual
degree and timing of price competition is not predictable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $47.6 million compared
to $37.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $10.6
million or 28.7%.  The product sales component of revenues increased $9.3
million or 29.3% in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the second
quarter of 1995.  The royalty income component of revenues increased $1.3
million or 25.0% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in product sales was due to a combination of increased sales of the
Company's core products (defined as those products available in the marketplace
for greater than one year) and the successful introduction of seven new
products (defined as those products introduced into the marketplace within the
last twelve months), subsequent to June 30, 1995.  Net sales of new products
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $12.0 million or 29.3% of
total product sales for that period. The increase in royalty income was due to
increased prescriptions written for Dilacor XR(R) during the three months ended
June 30, 1996, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995. The level
of product sales and royalty income during the second quarter may not be
indicative of future sales and royalties during the remainder of 1996.

Cost of revenues increased $3.5 million to $18.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1995. Gross
profit margins increased to 53.8% in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from
51.3% in the three months ended June 30, 1995.  These increases were due
primarily to the increase in sales and to the higher than average gross profit
margins earned on certain new products sold during the second quarter of 1996.

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.9 million or 18.7% to $4.0
million for the second quarter of 1996.  The Company continues to integrate the
product research and development activities of Circa and Watson following the
July 1995 merger. The level of research

<PAGE>   10



                         WATSON  PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.


and development expenses incurred during the second quarter may not be
indicative of future research and development expenses during the remainder of
1996.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 7.3% to $4.6
million when compared to the second quarter of 1995, but decreased as a
percentage of revenues from 11.7% to 9.7%.  Although selling, general and
administrative spending has increased in support of the Company's growth, the
growth of revenues has outpaced the growth of these expenses.

The Company's equity in earnings from joint ventures was generated primarily
from its 50% ownership of Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Somerset").  Total
earnings from joint ventures decreased by $0.3 million or 5.7% to $4.7 million,
as compared to the second quarter of 1995.  This decrease was due in part to
increased research and development expenses at both Somerset and ANCIRC, a
50/50 joint venture between the Company and Andrx Corporation ("Andrx").  Prior
to an October 1995 amendment of its joint venture agreement with Andrx, the
Company owned 40% of ANCIRC.

Management anticipates the earnings from joint ventures for the balance of 1996
will be lower than joint venture earnings in the first half of 1996 and also
lower than joint venture earnings achieved in 1995.  The Company's joint
venture earnings are generated primarily from Somerset's sales of the product
Eldepryl(R).  On August 2, 1996 a competitor received FDA approval to market a
tablet form of the product which will compete with Somerset's capsule form of
Eldepryl(R).  The precise effect of the expected competition on Somerset's 1996
net income, and the Company's 1996 joint venture earnings, cannot be determined
at this time.

Investment and other income increased by $0.2 million during the second quarter
of 1996.  This increase was primarily due to rising interest rates and a larger
base of invested cash during the three months ended June 30, 1996.

The provision for income taxes increased by $3.0 million in 1996, as compared
to 1995.  The Company's effective income tax rate increased from 29.1% in 1995
to 32.1% in 1996,  due primarily to reduced federal and state income tax
credits available in 1996.

Net income increased by $4.6 million or 34.9% in the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to 1995.  This increase was due primarily to the increased revenues
and gross profit margins the Company experienced in the three months ended June
30, 1996.  Earnings per share increased from $0.36 to $0.48 in the second
quarter of 1996 as compared to 1995, on an increase of approximately 0.7
million weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $93.1 million compared to
$71.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $22.0
million or 31.0%.  The product sales component of revenues increased $19.9
million or 32.9% in the first half of 1996 as compared to the first half of
1995.  The royalty income component of revenues increased $2.1 million or 20.1%
when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in





                                       10

                          WATSON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

product sales was due to a combination of increased sales of the Company's core
products and the successful introduction of seven new products subsequent to
June 30, 1995. Net sales of new products  for the six months ended June 30,
1996 amounted to $21.7 million or 27.0% of total product sales for that period.
The increase in royalty income was due to increased prescriptions written for
Dilacor XR(R) during the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The level of product sales and royalty income
during the first six months may not be indicative of future sales and royalties
during the remainder of 1996.

Cost of revenues increased $7.5 million to $37.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Gross
profit margins increased to 53.3% in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from
50.2% in the six months ended June 30, 1995.  These increases were due
primarily to the increase in sales and to the higher than average gross profit
margins earned on certain new products sold during the first half of 1996.

Research and development expenses decreased by $1.2 million or 12.7% to $8.5
million for the first half of 1996.  The Company continues to integrate the
product research and development activities of Circa and Watson following the
July 1995 merger. The level of research and development expenses incurred
during the first six months may not be indicative of future research and
development expenses during the remainder of 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 4.5% to $8.9 million
when compared to the first half of 1995, but decreased as a percentage of
revenues  from 12.0% to 9.5%.  Although selling, general and administrative
spending has increased in support of the Company's growth, the growth of
revenues has outpaced the growth of these expenses.

The Company's equity in earnings from joint ventures was generated primarily
from its 50% ownership of Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Total earnings from
joint ventures decreased by $0.9 million or 8.3% to $9.4 million, as compared
to the first half of 1995.  This decrease was due in part to increased research
and development expenses at both Somerset and ANCIRC.   As previously discussed
in this Form 10-Q, management anticipates the earnings from joint ventures for
the balance of 1996 will be lower than the earnings from joint ventures in the
first half of 1996 and lower than joint venture earnings achieved in 1995.

Investment and other income increased by $1.0 million during the first half of
1996.  This increase was primarily due to rising interest rates and a larger
base of invested cash during the six months ended June 30, 1996.

The provision for income taxes increased by $6.3 million in 1996, as compared
to 1995.  The Company's effective income tax rate increased from 27.6% in 1995
to 31.6% in 1996,  due primarily to reduced federal and state income tax
credits available in 1996.

Net income increased by $9.2 million or 36.0% in the first half of 1996 as
compared to 1995.  This increase was due primarily to the increased revenues
and gross profit margins the Company





                                       11

                          WATSON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.


experienced in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Earnings per share
increased from $0.70 to $0.93 in the first half of 1996 as compared to 1995, on
an increase of approximately 0.8 million weighted average common and common
equivalent shares outstanding.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and marketable
securities increased by $35.0 million to $153.3 million.  Cash flows from
operations provided the majority of this increase, supplemented by proceeds
from the exercise of stock options, offset by purchases of property and
equipment and net purchases of marketable securities.

Working capital increased by $34.8 million, from $168.8 million at December 31,
1995 to $203.6 million at June 30, 1996.  The increase in working capital can
be attributed to the increase in cash and marketable securities ($35.0
million), the decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($5.5 million),
the increase in inventories ($4.3 million), offset by the decrease in deferred
tax assets ($7.8 million) and the decrease in trade and royalty receivables
($2.9 million).  The Company believes that current cash resources, future
operating cash flows and funds available under a bank credit agreement will be
sufficient to fund its current and anticipated working capital needs.

The Company regularly reviews potential opportunities to acquire or invest in
technologies, products or product rights.  The Company also regularly reviews
potential acquisitions, investments or combinations involving businesses
compatible with its existing businesses and corporate objectives.  The Company
could use sources other than cash, such as the issuance of debt or equity
securities, to finance any such acquisition or investment.  If such an
acquisition or investment was completed, the Company's operating results and
financial condition could change materially in future periods.

                               OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is involved in various disputes and litigation matters
which arise in the ordinary course of business.  The litigation process is
inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of these disputes
and lawsuits may adversely effect the Company.  Management believes, however,
that the ultimate resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse
impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.  There
have been no material developments in any legal matter since the filing of the
Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as noted below.

         In October 1995, a putative class action complaint captioned Jimmy
Jackson v. Circa Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al., was filed against Circa,
Lawrence Raisfeld and Robert Shulman, former presidents of Circa, and Roger
Jordan, president of Vitarine Pharmaceuticals, in the Circuit Court of
Tallapoosa County, Alabama.  See the discussion under Legal Proceedings -
Pending Litigation in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995.  On April 26, 1996, the Circuit Court issued an order
dismissing the action as to Messrs.  Raisfeld, Shulman and Jordan, but
certifying the action as a class action with regard to Circa.  On July 2, 1996
the Supreme Court of Alabama declined to exercise its mandamus jurisdiction
with respect to the Circuit Court's decision.  The Company intends to
vigorously defend this action.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the registrant's annual meeting of stockholders held on May 10, 1996,
