Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On August 28, 2000, Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Watson"), completed its acquisition of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Schein"). Schein was acquired pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of May 24, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Watson, Schein
and WS Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Watson ("Merger Sub").
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement:

        -      Watson acquired all of the outstanding stock of Schein through a
               two-step transaction comprised of a cash tender offer followed by
               a taxable stock merger in which Merger Sub was merged with and
               into Schein, with Schein being the surviving corporation; and

        -      each outstanding share of Schein common stock not acquired by
               Watson through the cash tender offer was converted into the right
               to receive 0.42187 of a share of Watson common stock, resulting
               in the issuance of approximately 5.3 million shares of Watson
               common stock for all remaining outstanding shares of Schein
               common stock.

        Both Watson and Schein are developers, manufacturers and marketers of
generic and branded pharmaceutical products, utilizing various drug delivery
technologies.

        Watson's press release, dated August 28, 2000, titled "Watson
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Completes Acquisition of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc.," is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
