3.   CONTINGENCIES

     On November 12, 1993, a patent infringement lawsuit was commenced in the
U.S. District Court, for the District of New Jersey, by Marion Merrell Dow, Inc.
("MMD"), Carderm Capital LP and Elan Corporation plc ("Elan") against
Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Hoechst").

     Hoechst was licensed at that time by the Company for the once-daily
controlled release formulation of Diltiazem.   The complaint alleged that
Hoechst had infringed on certain patents relating to a controlled absorption
diltiazem formulation and sought, among other things, to enjoin Hoechst from
infringing.

     As a result of the Settlement  Agreement among Hoechst, MMD and Carderm
Capital LP,  that suit was discontinued on behalf of those plaintiffs.
However, Elan has continued this suit as sole plaintiff.

     The Company has answered Elan's allegations of patent infringement by
denying any such infringement and by  asserting that, in any event, Elan's
patents are invalid and therefore unenforceable.  The Company has received a
legal opinion that Elan's lawsuit is without merit, and it has accordingly
launched an Application for a summary dismissal of Elan's complaint.  The
Company has also commenced a substantial counterclaim against Elan.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

               (All dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars)

OVERVIEW

     The Company derives its revenues from; (1) the development and licensing of
oral controlled release products using its proprietary drug delivery technology;
(2) the manufacture of such drugs for sale to licensees; (3) the royalties from
sales by licensees of Company developed products; and (4) providing contract
research services including pharmacokinetic studies, bioanalytical laboratory
testing, and clinical research studies and regulatory services.

     The Company's profitability in a given year is directly impacted by the
level of its research and product development activities.  Such costs are
charged to earnings in the year they are incurred notwithstanding the fact that
the benefits therefrom are not realized until later periods when the products
under development are licensed and brought to market and revenues are generated
from royalties based on the level of sales and manufacturing revenues are
generated through the retention of manufacturing rights.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Contract research  revenue in the 1996 first half was $2,344,000 as
compared to $2,857,000 in the 1995 first half.  The first half of 1995 included
a cancellation fee payment for a special study by a former Tiazac(R) licensee.
Excluding that payment, revenues for the Contract Research Division were
approximately equal over the comparable periods.

     Manufacturing revenue was $27,901,000 in the 1996 first half as compared to
$1,254,000 in the 1995 first half.  The 1996 manufacturing revenue was related
to the manufacture of supplies of Tiazac(R) for the Company's licensee Forest
Laboratories Inc. ("Forest").  The 1995 manufacturing revenue was derived from
the sale of launch supplies of Tiazac(R) to the Company's previous licensee,
Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals.

     In the 1996 first half, royalty and licensing revenue was $4,332,000 as
compared to $3,689,000 in the 1995 first half.

     Royalty revenue  increased to $4,332,000 in the 1996 first half period
from $2,689,000 in the 1995 first half period.  The increase in royalty
revenues are primarily due to the launch of Tiazac(R) by Forest in the United
States and increased Oruvail sales volumes in the United States by Wyeth-Ayerst
Laboratories.

     Revenue from the licensing of new products was nil in the 1996 first half
as compared to $1,000,000 in the 1995 first half.  The licensing revenue
received in 1995 relates to the assignment and licensing rights for Tiazac(R)
to the Company's previous licensee.



<PAGE>   9

     The gross margin on contract revenue was 20% in the 1996 first half as
compared to 42% in the 1995 first half.   The 1995 gross margin was favourably
impacted due to the inclusion of $567,000 of non-refundable prepaid amounts
related to the cancellation of a special study by a former licensee; excluding
this amount the gross margin for the 1995 first half was 27%.

     The gross margin on manufacturing revenue was 58% in the 1996 first half,
as compared to 61% in the 1995 first half.  The 1996 margin was impacted by the
manufacture of both trade and sample supplies of Tiazac(R) compared to only
trade supplies in 1995.

     Research and product development expenses increased to $4,015,000 in the
1996 first half from $1,458,000 in the 1995 first half, primarily due to
increased levels of product development activities and as a result of the
establishment and staffing of the Toronto R & D facility.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $6,254,000  in
the 1996 first half compared to $3,218,000 in the 1995 first half.  The period
to period increases are primarily as a result of the commencement of the
Canadian sales operation, increased activities associated with the
manufacturing facilities and increased corporate expenses due to the hiring of
key management personnel.

     Operating income of $10,736,000 was achieved in the 1996 first half as
compared to operating income of $968,000 in the 1995 comparable period.
Canadian operations incurred losses of $5,611,000 in 1996 as compared to
operating losses of $1,245,000 in 1995.  Operating income of $2,129,000 and
$1,307,000 in each of the 1996 and 1995 periods respectively was earned by the
Company's subsidiary in Switzerland through royalties earned on the Company's
products.  Barbados contributed operating income of $14,218,000 in the 1996
first half compared to $906,000 in the 1995 comparable period.  The increased
operating contribution in Barbados is due to the sales of Tiazac(R).

     Net interest income was $321,000 in the 1996 first half as compared to
interest expense of $224,000 in the 1995 first half.  The interest income in
1996 was earned as a result of surplus cash and a lower level of interest
bearing debt.

     Income taxes in the 1996 first half increased to $620,000 from $23,000 in
the 1995 first half period as a result of increased operating income.

     In the 1996 first half, the Company reported net income of $10,437,000, or
$0.41 per share.  This compares to net income of $1,851,000 or $0.07 per share
in the 1995 first half, which included a gain on licensing settlement of
$1,130,000 or $0.04 per share.  Earnings per share have been calculated using
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period and take
into effect the 3 for 1 stock split completed in January, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company generated $2,080,000 in
cash-flow from operating activities compared to $2,191,000 in the 1995
comparable period.  Cash generated was as a result of income from operations
(after adding back non-cash charges) of $11,430,000 and $2,439,000 in the 1996
first half and 1995 first  half respectively, and a decrease in non-cash
operating items of $9,350,000 and $248,000 in the two respective periods.

     Net cash of $389,000 was used in financing activities in the 1996 first
half, compared to a provision of net cash of $2,522,000 in the 1995 first half.
The 1996 cash utilization was as a result of long-term debt repayments of
$737,000, offset in part by the issuance of common shares for $99,000 and
increases in long-term debt of $249,000.  In the  same period of 1995, cash
provided was due to the issuance of common shares for $84,000,  increases in
long-term debt of $2,831,000, offset in part by long-term debt repayments of
$393,000.

     Investing activities related to additions to  fixed assets of $3,351,000 in
the 1996 first half compared to $541,000 in the 1995 first half.

     Exchange rate changes on foreign cash balances resulted in a U.S. dollar
cash equivalent reduction of $727,000 in the 1996 first half, compared to an
increase of $428,000 in the 1995 first half.

     As a result of the foregoing, cash balances decreased to $21,936,000 as at
June 30, 1996, from $24,323,000 as at  December 31, 1995, but increased from
$7,419,000 as at June 30, 1995.

     The Company's total long-term debt was $9,694,000 as at June 30, 1996 as
compared to $10,195,000 at December 31, 1995.  Long-term debt at June 30, 1996,
is comprised of $6,068,000 related to the manufacturing facility located in
Manitoba,  Canada; $1,795,000 is a mortgage payable on its laboratory facility;
and $1,831,000 is a bank term loan.  With respect to the debt relating to the
manufacturing facility, an aggregate amount of $3,034,000 is  a non-interest
bearing loan from a Canadian government agency and $3,034,000 is a construction
loan from a Canadian chartered bank.  The Company has available a line of credit
of $1,500,000 for short-term financing.

     The Company believes it has adequate capital and sources of financing to
support its ongoing operational requirements.  Furthermore, the Company believes
it will be able to obtain long-term capital, if necessary, to support its growth
objectives.

INFLATION

     Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's operations.

     The Company does not currently engage in hedging or other activities to
reduce exchange rate risk but may do so in the future, if conditions warrant.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          BIOVAIL CORPORATION'S TIAZAC(R) APPROVED IN UNITED KINGDOM;
               ADDITIONAL APPROVALS ACCEPTED IN SECOND HALF 1996
              -INITIAL EUROPEAN SHIPMENTS IN FOURTH QUARTER 1996-

     TORONTO, Canada, April 3, 1996 -- Biovail Corporation International (AMEX,
TSE:BVF) today announced that it has received approval from the Medicines
Control Agency (MCA) to market all five dosage strengths of Tiazac(R), its
once-daily formulation of diltiazem, in the United Kingdom. The Company
expects to announce its initial European marketing partners during the second
quarter of 1996, with an initial product rollout in the U.K. anticipated in the
fourth quarter of 1996.

     Eugene Melnyk, Chairman of the Board, commented, "We are excited to have
received our first international approval to market Tiazac(R) in England. This
acceptance serves as a springboard for securing additional approvals for
Tiazac(R) throughout the European Community (EC). The EC represents an overall
growing calcium channel blocker market of about $2.3 billion, of which
diltiazem represents approximately $400 million. In keeping with our strategy
to obtain optimum market share for Tiazac(R), we will specifically target those
countries with the highest market potential, in particular France, Italy,
Germany and Spain."

     "With this approval," continued Mr. Melnyk, "we will accelerate our
international licensing program and begin manufacturing product to fill initial
stocking programs for the fourth quarter of 1996. We expect early European sales
to begin contributing to Biovail's sales and earnings by the end of this year,
with a much stronger impact in 1997 as more approvals are obtained and
additional licensing agreements are reached." The Company is currently
registering Tiazac(R) in the balance of the EC using the decentralized mutual
recognition procedure, a process which should be completed by the fourth quarter
of 1996.

     Mr. Melnyk concluded, "Forest Laboratories' aggressive rollout of Tiazac(R)
in the U.S., initiated in late February, is being spearheaded by heavy promotion
and advertising to physicians specializing in the treatment of hypertension. Our
initial feedback is very positive; with new prescriptions being written and
filled, a trend that we anticipate will escalate rapidly in subsequent quarters.
To meet this growing demand, we are ramping up and expanding our production
capabilities in Puerto Rico and Manitoba, Canada."

     Biovail Corporation International is an international full-service
pharmaceutical company, engaged in the formulation, clinical testing,
registration and manufacture of drug products utilizing advanced drug delivery
technologies.

     "We are extremely pleased with our strong start in 1996," stated Eugene
Melnyk, Chairman of the Board. "The substantial increase in our quarterly
revenues, net income and earnings per share was driven by sales from the formal
launch of Tiazac(R) by our U.S. marketing partner, Forest Laboratories.
Preliminary results of this launch indicate that Tiazac(R) is successfully
penetrating the once-daily diltiazem market, as evidenced by the recent
prescription data provided by IMS, a medical market research organization.
Forest Laboratories' aggressive promotion and stocking program has placed
initial quantities of Tiazac(R) in approximately 55,000 pharmacies across the
U.S."

     "Tiazac(R)'s unique bioequivalence, which allows patients treated on
Cardizem CD to switch to Tiazac(R) at the nearest equivalent daily dose, has
substantially affected the number of new prescriptions written to date for our
product. Also, due to its wider dosing range and attractive price, we are
confident that Tiazac(R) will continue to gain increased market acceptance both
domestically and abroad. As recently announced, we received approval from the
Medicines Control Agency (MCA) to market all five dosage strengths of Tiazac(R)
in the UK. This marks Tiazac(R)'s first international approval," continued 
Mr. Melnyk.

shareholder value, during the quarter we announced a 3-for-1 stock split which
took effect in January. We also strengthened our senior management team, with
the hiring of Bob Podruzny (Corporate Finance), Kenneth Cancellara (Legal),
Marie-Claire Pilon (International Marketing) and Paul Desjardins Ph.D. (Contract
Research), providing the infrastructure needed for Biovail to continue to grow
within the global pharmaceutical community."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              SOROS LED INVESTOR GROUP ACQUIRES 20% BIOVAIL STAKE
                            FROM FOREST LABORATORIES

     TORONTO, Canada, MAY 22, 1996 -- Biovail Corporation International (AMEX,
TSE:BVF) today announced that Quantum Partners, LDC, an investment vehicle
advised by Soros Fund Management, and other investors including Oracle Partners,
L.P., a leading health care investment firm, has acquired all of the common
share holdings of Forest Laboratories, Inc. in Biovail.

     The Company advised that all terms relating to the manufacturing and
licensing of Tiazac(R) remain in place and unchanged. However, the Option
Agreement, which concerns the Right of First Negotiation with respect to
Biovail's future products, has been amended to provide that in the event Biovail
chose to directly market certain products, either itself or through an
affiliate, Biovail will now have the right to do so, except with respect to the
generic version of Procardia XL(R), whereby Forest Laboratories Inc. will
continue to have the Right of First Negotiation, pursuant to the Option
Agreement.

     Eugene Melnyk, Chairman of the Board, Biovail Corporation, commented, "We
look forward to continuing our partnership with Forest Laboratories and our
working relationship with respect to Tiazac(R), our once-daily formulation of
Diltiazem. Early results confirm the initial success of this product launch as
evidenced by continued positive prescription data indicating widespread
acceptance of Tiazac(R) in the anti-hypertensive market place."

     Mr. Melnyk also stated, "Biovail's ability to now market its future
products gives the Company added flexibility in expanding its role of marketer
and distributor of its own and other products in the United States."

     Biovail Corporation International is an international full-service
pharmaceutical company, engaged in the formulation, clinical testing,
registration and manufacture of drug products utilizing advanced drug delivery

     Eugene Melnyk, Chairman of the Board, commented, "We are very pleased to
report a second consecutive quarter of record earnings which exceeds all
analysts' estimates for Biovail Corporation. We attribute these strong results
to the successful launch of Tiazac(R), our once-daily formulation of diltiazem.
To date, we are extremely pleased with our marketing partner Forest
Laboratories' sales effort in the U.S., as sales of Tiazac(R) continue on an
upward trend. We look forward to our continuing exclusive 16-year supply
partnership with Forest Laboratories for Tiazac(R)."

     "During the quarter we were excited to receive our first international
approval from the Medicines Control Agency to market all five dosage strengths
of Tiazac(R) in the United Kingdom. The Company is currently concluding
agreements with multiple European marketing partners, each of which will be a
unique agreement involving value-added arrangements. Additionally, we have
completed our submissions and remain on schedule with our European Community
(EC) Mutual Recognition Filing. The EC represents a growing calcium channel
blocker market of about $2.3 billion, of which diltiazem represents
approximately $400 million. In keeping with our strategy to obtain optimum
market share for Tiazac(R), we will specifically target those countries with the
highest market potential, including France, Italy, Germany and Spain," cited Mr.
Melnyk.

     "Biovail Pharma, our Canadian marketing and sales organization, has moved
forward and is actively engaged in discussions with potential licensees, as well
as multi-national partners for other products, while awaiting Canadian approval
for Tiazac(R)," added Mr. Melnyk.

     Mr. Melnyk continued, "Also, as recently announced, Quantum Partners, LDC,
an investment vehicle advised by Soros Fund Management, and other investors
including Oracle Partners, L.P., a leading health care investment firm, acquired
all of the common share holdings of Forest Laboratories, Inc. in Biovail. We are
pleased with this vote of confidence from Quantum Partners."

     "Finally, we continue to make progress with several other products in our
pipeline. We anticipate that the Company will enter into a licensing and
distribution agreement for Nifedipine OD, a generic version of Procardia XL(R)
prior to the end of this year. In addition, we expect a registration filing by
year-end for Verapamil OD, a generic version of Verelan SR(R). We remain
confident that Tiazac(R) will continue to win widespread acceptance within the
anti-hypertensive market place, and also look forward to achieving new
milestones with respect to our product pipeline, in the coming quarters."
concluded Mr. Melnyk.
