                              REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

    The Company's management is responsible for preparing the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in Canada. The effect of the application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States is described in the notes to
consolidated financial statements. In preparing these consolidated financial
statements, management selects appropriate accounting policies and uses its
judgment and best estimates to report events and transactions as they occur.
Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure
that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.
Financial data included throughout this Annual Report is prepared on a basis
consistent with that of the financial statements.

    The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to
provide reasonable assurance, at a reasonable cost, that assets are safeguarded
and that transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with the Company's
policies for doing business. This system is supported by written policies and
procedures for key business activities; the hiring of qualified, competent
staff; and by a continuous planning and monitoring program.

    Ernst & Young LLP has been engaged by the Company's shareholders to audit
the consolidated financial statements. During the course of their audit,
Ernst & Young LLP reviewed the Company's system of internal controls to the
extent necessary to render their opinion on the consolidated financial
statements.

    The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills
its responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for
reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out the
responsibility principally through its Audit Committee. The majority of the
members of the Audit Committee are outside Directors. The Committee considers,
for review by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the
engagement or reappointment of the external auditors. Ernst & Young LLP has full
and free access to the Audit Committee.

    Management acknowledges its responsibility to provide financial information
that is representative of the Company's operations, is consistent and reliable,
and is relevant for the informed evaluation of the Company's activities.

                                AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Biovail Corporation

    We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Biovail Corporation as at
December 31, 1999 and the consolidated statements of income and retained
earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

    We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in Canada. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance 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.

    In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31,
1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 (TABULAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OF U.S. DOLLARS
                  EXCEPT NUMBER OF SHARES AND PER SHARE DATA)

1.  GOVERNING STATUTE AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

    In December 1999, the shareholders of Biovail Corporation International
    approved a change in the name of the company to Biovail Corporation.

    Biovail Corporation ("Biovail" or the "Company") is incorporated under the
    laws of the province of Ontario. The Company is an international
    full-service pharmaceutical company engaged in the formulation, clinical
    testing, registration and manufacture of drug products utilizing advanced
    drug delivery technologies.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. The accounting
    principles differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting
    principles in the US as described in Note 23.

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
    and those of all its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
    and balances have been eliminated.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    In preparing the Company's financial statements, management is required to
    make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
    and liabilities, and the 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.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The estimated fair value of all financial assets and liabilities, other than
    long-term debt, approximates their carrying values at December 31, 1999 and
    1998. Fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which
    the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
    parties. The fair value of long-term debt is disclosed in Note 13.

    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Research and development revenue represents fees earned from third party
    customers for services rendered or attainment of development and regulatory
    approval milestones, with respect to contract research and product
    development done on their behalf.

    Revenue from product sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the
    customer.

    Royalty revenue is recognized on an accrual basis in accordance with
    contractual agreements with third parties and is net of amounts payable to
    sublicensees.

    Licensing revenue is recognized at the date the license is granted unless
    there are specific events which must be completed under the terms of the
    licensing agreement in which case a portion of the revenue is deferred and
    recognized upon the completion of each specific event.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Company's policy is to expense as incurred all research and product
    development costs, net of investment tax credits, related to both costs
    incurred on its own behalf and on behalf of its third party customers.
    Technology acquired from others, which is still in research and development,
    is deferred and amortized over management's estimate of its useful life.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original
    maturities of three months or less when purchased.

    SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

    Short-term investments include highly liquid investments with original
    maturities greater than three months but less than one year when purchased.
    Short-term investments are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

    INVENTORIES

    Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work in process, and finished
    goods which are valued at the lower of cost and replacement cost. Cost is
    determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

    LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS

    Long-term investments are reported at cost less any provision which may be
    required to recognize a permanent decline in value.

    CAPITAL ASSETS AND RELATED DEPRECIATION

    Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Annual
    rates applied to depreciate the cost of capital assets over their estimated
    useful lives using the straight line basis are as follows:

    OTHER ASSETS

    Other assets are amortized on a straight line basis as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                   <C>

  development.......................
Core technology.....................  15 years
Workforce...........................  10 years
Product rights......................  8-15 years
Deferred financing costs............  term of debt
</TABLE>

    Goodwill and product rights are evaluated periodically, based on estimated
    cash flows computed on a discounted basis and if conditions warrant an
    impairment valuation is provided.

    Advertising and promotion costs related to new product launches are deferred
    and amortized over a one year period commencing at launch date.

    REPORTING CURRENCY AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS

    REPORTING CURRENCY

    The Company reports its financial statements in U.S. dollars, while the
    currency of measurement for the Company's operations varies depending upon
    location.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

    Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange
    prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
    are translated at historic rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the
    average rate of exchange for the year. Exchange gains and losses are
    included in earnings.

    SELF-SUSTAINING FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES

    Assets and liabilities of self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries are
    translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
    Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange for the
    year. Gains or losses arising on the translation of financial statements of
    self-sustaining foreign subsidiaries are deferred and included as a separate
    component of shareholders' equity. The net change in the cumulative
    translation adjustment balance in the years presented is primarily due to
    fluctuations in the exchange rate with respect to the Swiss franc, Irish
    punt and Canadian dollar.

    CUSTOMER PREPAYMENTS

    Amounts received from customers as prepayments for goods or services to be
    provided in the future are recorded on the balance sheet as customer
    prepayments. When the goods or services are provided at a future date, they
    are billed to the customer at contractual rates.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

    STOCK OPTION PLAN

    The Company has a stock option plan which is described in Note 14. No
    compensation expense is recognized for this plan when stock options are
    issued to employees. Any consideration paid by employees on the exercise of
    stock options is credited to share capital.

    INCOME TAXES

    The Company follows the deferral method of income tax allocation.

    1998 AND 1997 FIGURES

    Goodwill amortization and certain other figures for 1998 and 1997 have been
    reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.

3.  ACQUISITION

(i) DESCRIPTION OF ACQUISITION

    On November 12, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Fuisz
    Technologies Ltd. ("Fuisz") for $177,897,000 including costs relating to the
    acquisition. Fuisz is an international company that is engaged in the
    development, manufacturing and commercialization of a wide range of drug
    delivery, nutraceutical and food ingredient products utilizing its
    proprietary CEFORM-Registered Trademark-, SHEARFORM-Registered Trademark-
    and other drug delivery technologies (the "Fuisz Technology").

    Fuisz was acquired through a series of transactions which began in July 1999
    with the purchase of certain Fuisz common stock and the announcement on
    July 25, 1999 that the Company had entered into a merger agreement to
    acquire the remaining common stock of Fuisz in a two-stage transaction
    consisting of a cash tender offer and a stock-for-stock merger.

    By September 4, 1999, the Company had completed the acquisition of 49% of
    Fuisz's outstanding common stock for cash consideration of $75,565,000
    pursuant to the cash tender offer and other purchase transactions. On
    November 12, 1999, Biovail acquired the remaining common stock of Fuisz by
    issuing 1,544,155 pre-split common shares of the Company, which includes
    44,155 pre-split common shares to be issued (see Note 14) with a fair value
    of $96,006,000. Certain of these common shares are yet to be issued. The
    value of the common shares issued by the Company was determined by reference
    to the average market price of the Company's stock before and after the
    acquisition on November 12, 1999 and after giving effect to normal costs of
    issue of shares.

(ii) PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION

    The Company accounted for the acquisition of Fuisz as a step acquisition
    using the purchase method of accounting. The Company has recognized in these
    consolidated financial statements its 49% equity interest in the results of
    Fuisz for the period from September 4, 1999, the date it acquired
    significant influence, to November 12, 1999, the date of acquisition of
    control. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Fuisz have been
    included in these consolidated financial statements from November 12, 1999.

</TABLE>

(iii) ACQUIRED IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Fuisz Technology involves drug delivery platforms and the application of
    such platforms to specific product development programs. At the date of
    acquisition, Fuisz was involved in seventeen product development projects
    for a number of pharmaceutical companies which were in various stages of
    completion. With the exception of certain nutraceutical products, the Fuisz
    Technology has not been employed in any product which has received
    regulatory approval to date and was considered to have no alternative future
    use other than for the therapeutic indications for which it was in
    development or which may be developed. Accordingly, technological
    feasibility of the products related to the Fuisz Technology was not
    established at the acquisition date and was considered to be in-process
    research and development.

    Two of the projects have been submitted for approval with the applicable
    regulatory authorities. One project was submitted to the Food and Drug
    Administration ("FDA") in the US in June 1998 and the other was submitted to
    the Medical Control Agency in the UK in April 1998. The remaining fifteen
    projects are expected to be completed in accordance with Fuisz's contractual
    obligations with the relevant customers over the next eighteen months.

    The development projects were estimated to be 65% complete on average,
    estimated peak sales were approximately $942 million per annum, estimated
    costs to completion of these products were approximately $9.5 million and
    discount rates of 28% were used. The average time to full completion of the
    remaining work for the projects in development was estimated to be
    approximately twelve months. The work remaining to complete the products in
    development involved on-going formulation, bioequivalency, safety and
    efficacy studies and the submission of regulatory filings to seek marketing
    approvals. The principal risks relating to the acquired technology were the
    outcomes of such clinical trials and Biovail's ability to negotiate
    acceptable commercial terms with the pharmaceutical companies developing the
    products. As pharmaceutical products cannot be marketed without regulatory
    approvals, the Company will not receive any benefits unless regulatory
    approval is obtained.

    If the projects currently under development are successful, the Company
    expects that the Fuisz Technology will have extended life cycles. Because
    the Fuisz Technology is based on drug delivery, the technology can be
    applied to numerous products. Although the risk of technological feasibility
    is always present in each

    numerous product developments which the Company expects will occur over at
    least the next fifteen years.

(iv) ASSETS HELD FOR DISPOSAL

    The Company determined, as part of its evaluation of the purchase, that
    certain operations of Fuisz were not strategic to Biovail's business plans
    and accordingly should be sold.

    Prior to the completion of the share exchange, on October 22, 1999, Fuisz
    agreed to sell all of the issued shares of three of its wholly owned
    European subsidiaries for proceeds of $28,700,000. Further, Fuisz agreed to
    assign all of the rights, privileges and advantages from its Cebutid
    trademark to the purchaser of its European subsidiaries for proceeds of
    $10,273,000. No gain or loss was recognized by the Company on these
    transactions as these subsidiaries were included in the purchase price
    allocation at their fair value when Biovail acquired its 49% interest in
    Fuisz.

    On December 1, 1999, Biovail entered into an agreement to sell all of the
    issued share capital of Clonmel Healthcare Limited ("Clonmel"), a
    pharmaceutical and antibiotic manufacturer and distributor, for proceeds of
    $20,000,000. The sale is expected to close in early 2000. No gain or loss
    was recognized by the Company on this transaction as this subsidiary was
    included at fair value in the purchase price allocation at November 12,
    1999.

    STOCK OPTION PLAN

    Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, as amended, (the "Plan") established
    in 1993 and approved by the shareholders at the Special Meeting held on
    March 28, 1994, the Company may grant to directors, officers, key employees,
    consultants and advisors, options to purchase common shares of the Company.
    The purpose of the Plan is to provide long-term incentives and rewards to
    certain of the Company's directors, officers, employees, consultants and
    advisors. The aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the
    Plan taking into consideration the 2 for 1 stock split shall not exceed
    14,000,000 common shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance to any
    one person under the Plan together with shares which that person may acquire
    under any similar plan of the Company may not exceed 5% of the total issued
    and outstanding common shares. Under the Plan, the Company designates the
    maximum number of shares that are subject to an option. The exercise price
    per share of an option is the closing market price at which the shares are
    traded on the New York Stock Exchange on the day prior to the date the
    option is granted, or if not so traded, the average between the closing bid
    and ask prices thereof as reported for that day.

    September 30, 1999, the units separated and the IPL common shares and the
    Company's warrants now trade independently of each other. The warrants are
    exercisable at a per share price of $20.00 from October 1, 1999 until
    September 30, 2002.

    In 1997, the Company recorded a credit to equity of $8,244,000 equal to the
    proceeds attributable to the warrants included in the offering as determined
    at the time of their issuance and recorded a charge to retained earnings to
    reflect the equivalent contributions to IPL.

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share, for all years presented, has been calculated using the
    weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after
    giving effect to the 2 for 1 stock split. Earnings per share in 1999, 1998
    and 1997 on a fully diluted basis giving effect to the exercise of all
    options and warrants granted, would have been $1.09, $0.82 and $0.66 per
    share, respectively.

16. INCOME TAXES

    The major factors which caused variation from the Company's combined federal
    and provincial statutory income tax rate of 44.81% in 1999 and 1998 and
    44.34% in 1997, applicable to income before income taxes are as follows:

20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    In January, 1998, Andrx Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Andrx") commenced action
    against the FDA, Faulding Inc., and Biovail seeking an order from the Court
    which would preclude the FDA from approving any subsequently-filed ANDAs,
    including the Company's filed ANDA for a generic version of Cardizem CD
    until Andrx receives from the FDA thirty days' prior notice of the FDA's
    intention to approve any such subsequently filed ANDA. Such notice would
    allow Andrx to attempt to seek court relief based on its position that as a
    first filer it is entitled to 180 days of market exclusivity. Biovail has
    asserted affirmative defenses based upon the Company's status as an unsued
    ANDA submitter. Biovail has also counter-sued Andrx for anti-trust law
    violations based on the filing of this suit and Andrx' entry into an alleged
    collusive agreement with Hoechst Marion Roussel relating to Andrx' generic
    Cardizem CD which could result in keeping generic competition from entering
    the marketplace in a regular and timely manner. The FDA has filed a motion
    seeking summary dismissal of Andrx' action. Andrx has filed its own motion
    to have its action dismissed, however, Biovail did not withdraw the
    Company's counterclaim because the issues that were the subject of Andrx'
    action have now overtaken the timelines contemplated in the action (Andrx
    and Biovail have both launched their respective generic versions of Cardizem
    CD and Andrx' main action was dismissed), Biovail's counterclaim has been
    dismissed. Biovail has nevertheless launched an appeal to the

20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)

    dismissal of its counterclaim even though Andrx' main action against the FDA
    and Biovail has long since been terminated.

    In March, 1998, Biovail commenced an action in the District of New Jersey
    against Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft and related parties to recover three
    times the Company's monetary damages and for injunctive relief for the
    alleged violation by the defendants of the anti-trust laws of the United
    States, for breach of contract, deceptive trade practices and restraint of
    trade, unfair competition and other violations for the common law. A
    reasonable estimation of the Company's potential recovery for damages cannot
    be made at this time.

    From time to time, Biovail becomes involved in various legal proceedings
    which Biovail considers to be in the ordinary course of business. The vast
    majority of these proceedings involve intellectual property issues that
    often result in patent infringement suits brought by patent holders upon the
    Company's filing of ANDA applications. The timing of these actions is
    mandated by statute and may result in a delay of FDA's approval for such
    filed ANDAs until the final resolution of such actions or the expiry of
    30 months, whichever occurs earlier.

    In this regard, Biovail and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Biovail
    Laboratories, Inc. ("Biovail Laboratories"), have been sued in separate
    lawsuits by Bayer AG and Bayer Corporation, as well as by Pfizer, Inc., upon
    the filing by Biovail Laboratories of separate ANDAs for generic versions of
    Procardia XL and Adalat CC. These actions make the usual, technical claims
    of infringement that, if successful, mandate a delay for the approval of the
    Company's ANDAs for a period of 30 months or until successful resolution of
    these patent infringement questions, whichever occurs first. Biovail
    Laboratories is vigorously defending these suits and will aggressively
    pursue motions for summary judgment in due course.

    These four actions have been consolidated into two actions by the court.
    Biovail has denied the allegations and has pleaded affirmative defences that
    the patents are invalid, have not been infringed, and unenforceable.

    On April 23, 1998, Biovail also filed a four-count Complaint against Bayer
    AG, Bayer Corporation and Pfizer Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment that
    their patents are invalid, unenforceable, and not infringed by the Company's
    ANDAs. Biovail intends to amend the Complaint in due course to assert that
    their patent has not been infringed by the filing of all four ANDAs by
    Biovail Laboratories Inc. Biovail has also asserted that Bayer Corporation
    and Pfizer Inc. have violated anti-trust laws and have interfered with the
    Company's prospective economic advantage. Bayer and Pfizer have filed a
    motion to dismiss the anti-trust and interference counts but that action has
    been stayed pending the conclusion of the main actions.

    On August 25, 1998, Andrx submitted to Biovail a Notice of Certification
    under the FDC Act wherein it certified that the ANDA filed by Andrx for a
    generic version of Tiazac did not infringe on the Company's Patent. As a
    result, in October 1998, Biovail commenced a patent infringement suit
    against Andrx. The FDA cannot approve Andrx's ANDA for a period of up to
    30 months from the filing of the Company's suit or the date when Andrx
    successfully defends the Company's patent infringement suit, whichever first
    occurs. The trial of this action was recently completed but no judicial
    decision has been released.

    While Biovail is not currently able to determine the potential liability, if
    any, related to such matters, Biovail believes none of the matters,
    individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the
    Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

20. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (CONTINUED)

    In January 2000, Biovail Technologies Ltd. ("BTL"), commenced a suit against
    Dr. Richard Fuisz, the founder and former chairman of Fuisz--now BTL,
    Patrick Scrivens (the former CFO of Fuisz), Paul Kennedy (a former officer
    of Fuisz and Manager of Fuisz's European subsidiaries), John Fuisz (a former
    Board member of Fuisz) and others, in which a claim for damages has been
    asserted, resulting from a number of specific breaches. The Company believes
    it has meritorious claims.

    In the ordinary course of business from time to time the Company becomes
    involved in normal litigation reflective commercial or employment disputes.
    The Company is not aware of any action, commenced or threatened, that are
    discussed above or in combination has or may have a material impact on the
    Company or the Company's operations.

21. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENTS

    IPL

    IPL was formed by the Company in July, 1997. In September, 1997, the Company
    concluded a development and license agreement (the "Development Contract")
    and a services agreement (the "Services Agreement") with IPL, whereby the
    Company develops on IPL's behalf once-daily controlled release branded
    generic versions of designated products. In October, 1997, IPL completed a
    public offering of 3,737,500 units resulting in net proceeds to IPL, before
    offering expenses, of approximately $69,500,000.

    The proceeds of the offering are being used by IPL primarily to make
    payments to the Company under the Development Contract. The Development
    Contract provides for the Company to conduct product development in respect
    of certain designated products. Such costs are being computed with respect
    to internal costs incurred by the Company at its fully absorbed cost plus a
    mark-up, consistent with contractual relationships the Company has with
    other third parties.

    Revenue received by the Company from IPL pursuant to the Development
    Contract, was $33.0 million, $9.7 million and $9.6 million for 1999, 1998
    and 1997 respectively. The cost of providing these services amounted to
    $19.8 million, $6.6 million and $4.2 million for 1999, 1998 and 1997
    respectively.

    Included in 1997 revenue was $3.5 million for access to and use by IPL of
    the Company's proprietary technology in connection with product development.

    The Company, as the holder of all of the issued and outstanding special
    shares of IPL, has an option, exercisable at its sole discretion, to
    purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding common shares of IPL
    commencing on the closing date of the offering and ending on the earlier of
    (i) September 30, 2002, or (ii) the 90(th) day after the date IPL provides
    the Company with quarterly financial statements showing cash or cash
    equivalents of less than $3 million. If the purchase option is exercised,
    the purchase price calculated on a per share basis would be as follows:

    research and development assets is allocated to the Product Sales and
    Research and Development segments, respectively. Amortization expense
    related to royalty interests is allocated to the Royalty and Licensing
    segment. Amortization expense related to product rights is allocated to the

    ----------------------------

     i) Under US GAAP, companies are required to write-off certain product
        launch and advertising costs incurred during the year. This adjustment
        represents the portion of product launch costs deferred under Canadian
        GAAP that is required to be written off under US GAAP.

     ii) Under US GAAP, specifically SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", the Company classified
         certain of its long-term securities as available-for-sale and
         accordingly was required to include the change in net unrealized
         holding gains or losses on these securities in other comprehensive
         income. During the year, these long-term securities were sold and the
         net gain is included in net income.

23. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

    iii) Under US GAAP, specifically SFAS No. 2 "Accounting for Research and
         Development Costs", acquired in-process research and development having
         no alternative future use must be written-off at the time of
         acquisition. The adjustment represents the value of the acquired
         in-process research and development, net of accumulated amortization,
         capitalized under Canadian GAAP.

    iv) Under US GAAP, specifically SFAS No. 2, the cost of intangibles that are
        purchased from others for a particular research and development project
        that have no alternative future use must be written-off at the time of
        acquisition. The adjustment represents the value of the intangible
        capitalized under Canadian GAAP.

     v) Under US GAAP, the acquisition of Fuisz would be valued based on the
        stock market price of the shares before and after the July 25, 1999 date
        of the agreement. Under Canadian GAAP, the acquisition was valued based
        on the average price at the date of acquisition. The effect is that
        under US GAAP the value of shares issued would be lower by $7,763,000
        reducing the goodwill acquired by an equal amount. In addition, certain
        options were issued to consultants in connection with this acquisition
        with a fair value of $1,020,000 that have been included in the
        allocation of the purchase price with the effect of increasing goodwill
        acquired.

    vi) Under US GAAP, companies are required to record in paid-up capital an
        amount equal to the proceeds attributable to warrants as determined at
        the time of their issuance, along with an offsetting contra equity
        account, "Warrant subscription receivable". The contra account is
        amortized over the life of the warrants. Under Canadian GAAP, the
        offsetting amount was recorded as an immediate reduction in retained
        earnings.

    b)  The components of shareholders' equity under US GAAP are as follows:

    128 "Earnings per Share", basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
    income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Fully diluted earnings
    per share reflect the dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options
    and warrants were exercised or converted into common shares using the
    treasury stock method. The computation of diluted earnings per share does
    not include stock options and warrants with dilutive potential that would
    have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

    Under US GAAP, goodwill amortization would be included in the determination
    of operating income. Earnings per share before goodwill amortization would
    not be presented.

23. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

    f)  Under US GAAP, the following additional disclosure would be provided
    pursuant to the requirements of SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes":

    As at December 31, 1999, the Company has unused tax benefits of
    approximately $10,904,000 related to net operating loss and tax credit carry
    forwards which relate to the Canadian operations. In addition, the Company
    has net operating loss carry forwards relating to the US operations of
    approximately $26,950,000. Under US GAAP, a valuation allowance of an
    equivalent amount would be recognized to of the related deferred tax asset
    due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of the loss and tax carry
    forwards.

    Deferred income taxes have been provided on the following temporary
    differences:

    The fair values of all options granted during 1999, 1998 and 1997 were

    The Black-Scholes model, used by the Company to calculate option values, as
    well as other currently accepted option valuation models, were developed to
    estimate the fair value of freely tradeable, fully transferable options
    without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's
    stock option

    awards. These models also require highly subjective assumptions, including
    future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which
    greatly affect the calculated values. Accordingly, management believes that
    these models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the
    fair value of the Company's stock option awards.

    h)  There were no impairment write-downs related to goodwill, product
    rights, or fixed assets required under US GAAP.

    i)  Recent Accounting Developments:

         i) The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No.
            133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities",
            as amended by Statement No. 137, which is required to be adopted in
            years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is determining the
            impact of the adoption of the new statement.

         ii) The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
             Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", in
             December 1999, which summarizes certain views in applying generally
             accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
             statements. The statements in the staff accounting bulletins
             represent interpretations and practices followed by the Division of
             Corporation Finance and the Office of the Chief Accountant in
             administering the disclosure requirements of the Federal securities
             laws. The impact of the application of this Staff Accounting
             Bulletin is currently being reviewed by the Company.

24. YEAR 2000 ISSUE

    The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems use two digits
    rather than four to identify a year. Date-sensitive systems may recognize
    the year 2000 as 1900 or some other date, resulting in errors when
    information using year 2000 dates is processed. In addition, similar
    problems may arise in some systems which use certain dates in 1999 to
    represent something other than a date. Although the change in date to the
    year 2000 has occurred, it is not possible to conclude that all aspects of
    the Year 2000 Issue that may affect the entity, including those related to
    customers, supplier, or other third parties, have been fully resolved.

25. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On February 7, 2000, the Company announced that it had entered into an
    agreement to acquire a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility located in
    Dorado, Puerto Rico for $11,000,000. Included in the acquisition of this
    facility is the specialized production and packaging equipment. The closing
    date is scheduled for January 2001.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Fuisz Technologies Ltd.

    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Fuisz Technologies Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the
"Company") at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the consolidated results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BUSINESS

    Fuisz Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation, was formed on June 9, 1988
    (Fuisz Technologies Ltd., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is
    referred to collectively herein as the "Company"). The Company is engaged in
    the development, manufacture and commercialization of a wide variety of
    pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products and technologies. The
    Company uses its unique drug delivery technologies, including its
    CEFORM-Registered Trademark- and Shearform-Registered Trademark-
    technologies, to conduct research and development activities on behalf of
    pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare companies. Products flowing from
    these research and development efforts include drug and consumer healthcare
    formulations using the Company's innovative Flash
    Dose-Registered Trademark-, EZ Chew-Registered Trademark-, soft chew and
    Spoon Dose-Registered Trademark- formats.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fuisz
    Technologies Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
    intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
    consolidated financial statements.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
    current year presentation.

    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

    The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were prepared in their
    respective local currencies and translated into U.S. dollars based on the
    current exchange rate at the end of the period for the balance sheet and a
    weighted-average rate for the period on the statements of operations and
    cash flows. Translation adjustments are reflected as a component of other
    comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity and accordingly have no effect on
    net loss. Transaction adjustments for all foreign subsidiaries are included
    as part of net loss.

    The Company has made loans to certain of its foreign subsidiaries that are
    denominated in U.S. dollars. Currency gains and losses on loans for which
    settlement is planned are included as part of net loss. Currency gains and
    losses on loans for which no settlement is planned are reflected as a
    component of other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.

    NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to
    common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
    outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by
    dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted
    average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to all
    dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.
    Potential common shares are not included in the computation of diluted
    earnings per share if they are antidilutive. The Company did not have any
    dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997
    and 1998. Net loss available to common stockholders was increased by $19,000
    and $24,000 for dividends payable on redeemable preference shares for the
    years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Net loss available to
    common stockholders was not adjusted for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    REVENUE RECOGNITION

    Product sales are recognized upon delivery to customers. Product sales are
    recorded net of reserves for returns and discounts. The Company maintains
    reserves at a level that management believes is sufficient to cover
    estimated future returns and discounts. Research and development fees are
    deferred and recognized over the period of performance under the terms of
    the related agreements. License and other fees are recognized as revenue
    pursuant to the terms of the related agreements.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three
    months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

    Marketable securities consist of direct obligations of the United States
    Government and corporations with strong credit ratings with remaining
    maturities of one to three years. These investments are considered as
    available-for-sale as defined by SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
    Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Company's investments are
    held for an unspecified period of time and are sold to meet its liquidity
    needs. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as current
    assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains and losses are
    shown as a component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses were
    immaterial in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and are included in interest income.

    CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

    The Company has invested its excess cash generally in obligations of the
    United States Government, commercial paper and money market funds with
    strong credit ratings and deposits with a commercial bank. The Company has
    not experienced any losses on its investments. The Company sells its
    products and services without requiring collateral. However, the Company
    periodically assesses the financial strength of its customers and
    collaborative partners and provides allowances for anticipated losses when
    necessary. At December 31, 1997 and 1998, the allowance for doubtful
    accounts totaled $477,000 and $732,000, respectively.

    The Company derives a significant portion of its consolidated revenues from
    its European operations (see Note 16). The Company had three customers (37%
    from Customer B, 24% from Customer C and 17% from Customer D) during 1996
    and one customer (13% from Customer A) during 1997 that accounted for more
    than 10% of total consolidated revenues. No single customer accounted for
    more than 10% of total consolidated revenues during 1998.

    INVENTORY

    Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (principally standard cost which
    approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.

    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    Furniture and equipment is carried at cost and depreciated using the
    straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight
    years. Buildings are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line
    method over estimated useful lives of forty years. Equipment acquired under
    capital leases is recorded at the present value of the lease payments and
    amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years.
    Leasehold improvements are carried at cost and amortized using the
    straight-line

    method over the lesser of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease
    term. Amortization of construction-in-progress will begin when construction
    is complete. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
    operating expense when incurred. When items are sold or retired, the related
    cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
    resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

    INTANGIBLE ASSETS

    Goodwill and the cost of acquired trademarks, product licenses and patents
    are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 5 to
    20 years.

    LONG-LIVED ASSETS

    The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value
    of property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company considers
    historical performance and anticipated future results in its evaluation of
    potential impairment. Accordingly, when indicators of impairment are
    present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these assets in
    relation to the operating performance of the business and future and
    undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets.
    Impairment losses are required to be recognized when the sum of expected
    future cash flows, undiscounted, are less than the assets' carrying value.
    No such impairment losses have been recognized to date. Such losses, if
    necessary, are measured based upon the sum of the discounted expected future
    cash flows compared to the assets' carrying value.

    DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

    Deferred financing costs associated with the various debt issues are
    classified as part of other assets and are being amortized over the terms of
    the related debt, using the straight-line method which approximates the
    effective interest method. Amortization of the deferred financing costs is
    included in interest expense.

    INCOME TAXES

    Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
    years of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
    and liabilities at each year-end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory
    tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
    affect taxable income. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce
    deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax
    expense is the sum of tax payable for the period and the change during the
    period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company believes that the carrying amount of certain of its financial
    instruments, which include cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
    receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, term loans and
    installment notes approximate fair value due to the relatively short
    maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Debentures (see
    Note 11) as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 was approximately $67,500,000 and
    $81,000,000, respectively.

    USE OF ESTIMATES

    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.

    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
    "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
    Statement requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets
    or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair
    value. The Company will be required to adopt this new accounting standard
    beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Company believes that
    the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not be significant.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

    During 1998 and 1997, the Company acquired five companies (the "Acquired
    Companies"), each of which has been accounted for as a purchase and,
    accordingly, their operating results have been included in the Company's
    consolidated financial statements since the respective dates of acquisition.

    FUISZ PHARMA KG

    Effective February 1, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of all of
    the issued and outstanding equity interests of Dr. Rentschler GmbH & Co.
    Medizin KG ("Fuisz Pharma KG"), a subsidiary of Dr. Rentschler Arzneimittel
    GmbH & Co., a pharmaceutical sales and distribution company based in
    Laupheim, Germany, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
    $19.4 million in cash. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the
    fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $15.8 million is
    being amortized over 15 years.

    ISTORIA FARMACEUTICI

    In October 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the outstanding
    stock of Istoria Farmaceutici ("Istoria"), a marketer of pharmaceutical
    products based in Padova, Italy. The total consideration consisted of:
    (i) 94,406 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at a price of
    $13.17 per share (based on the weighted average price of shares traded
    during the period September 9, 1997 to September 15, 1997) and
    (ii) $2.2 million in cash, which includes acquisition costs. The excess of
    the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of net assets
    acquired of approximately $2.6 million is being amortized over 10 years.

    CLONMEL HEALTHCARE LIMITED

    In September 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding ordinary
    share capital of Clonmel Healthcare Limited ("Clonmel"), a private
    manufacturer of branded generic pharmaceutical products in the Republic of
    Ireland. The total consideration of $22.7 million consisted of: (i) one
    million shares of common stock of the Company, valued at a price of $10.65
    per share (based on the weighted average price of shares traded from
    July 25, 1997 to July 31, 1997), which are subject to a contractual
    restriction on transfer, (ii) an IR Pound Sterling 8,510,000 ($12,650,000 at
    the date of acquisition) non-interest bearing note due in three installments
    through January 2000 (the payments of which have been financed with a bank
    term loan facility) and (iii) related acquisition costs. In addition,
    $250,000 of contingent consideration was paid to the seller in 1998 since
    Clonmel executed certain contracts for the manufacture and supply of various
    pharmaceutical products. The face amount of the installment note was
    discounted at a rate of 10%. The excess of the aggregate purchase price over
    the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately $15.7 million
    is being amortized over 20 years.

3.  ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

    REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES. In connection with the acquisition of Clonmel,
    the Company assumed the obligation of the 750,000 cumulative redeemable
    preference shares of Clonmel. Cumulative dividends of 3% on 300,000 shares
    and 6.5% on 450,000 shares were payable annually. The Company redeemed the
    shares in 1998 at a redemption rate of IR Pound Sterling 1 per share plus
    accrued dividends.

    PANGEA, LTD.

    In May 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
    Pangea, Ltd. ("Pangea"), a U.S. nationwide marketer of nutritional
    supplements and skincare products, for approximately $1.1 million in cash,
    which includes acquisition costs. The excess of the aggregate purchase price
    over the fair market value of net assets acquired of approximately
    $2.0 million is being amortized over 10 years.

    Prior to the closing of the transaction, one of the Company's directors, who
    has since resigned from the Board, was also a director and stockholder of
    Pangea. At the closing, the director received $500,000 of the purchase price
    for his Pangea shares and repayment in full of $200,000 in loans to Pangea.
    In addition, the Company's Chairman was also a director of Pangea but
    received no compensation with respect thereto.

    LABORATOIRES MURAT

    In April 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
    Laboratoires Murat ("Murat"), a privately-owned pharmaceutical sales and
    distribution company based in Paris, France, for an aggregate purchase price
    of approximately $5.0 million in cash, which includes acquisition costs. The
    excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair market value of net
    assets acquired of approximately $4.5 million is being amortized over
    10 years.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    OPERATING LEASES

    The Company leases certain of its office, laboratory, warehouse and
    operating facilities under operating leases which expire at various dates
    through the year 2005. Most of the leases provide the Company with certain
    early cancellation rights, as well as renewal options. The facility leases
    generally require the Company to pay for utilities, taxes, insurance and
    maintenance costs, in addition to the base rent, which, generally increases
    by 3% per annum after the first year. Total rent expense for facility leases
    was approximately $522,000, $818,000 and $1,334,000 for the years ended
    December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

    The Company has an $18.0 million equipment leasing line of credit (the
    "Equipment LOC") with an outside group of lenders. The Equipment LOC is
    available through June 30, 2000 and provides equipment financing under three
    or four year operating leases. These operating leases provide the Company
    with the option after the initial lease term either to purchase the property
    at the then fair value or renew its lease at the then fair rental value for
    a negotiated renewal term. The Company has leased certain of its equipment
    under this Equipment LOC as well as other operating leases which expire at
    various dates through the year 2002. Total rent expense for equipment leases
    was approximately $283,000 and $1,960,000, for the years ended December 31,
    1997 and 1998, respectively (1996 was not material).

    OPTIONS AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS

    The Board of Directors has adopted the 1991 Stock Option Plan (the "1991
    Option Plan"), the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1994 Option Plan"), the
    1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan"), and the 1994
    Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Option Plan") (collectively, the
    "Plans") under which 5,600,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for
    issuance upon exercise of options granted to officers, employees, directors
    and consultants of the Company.

    The Company's 1991 Option Plan provided for formula option awards to
    non-employee directors and discretionary awards to employees, consultants,
    advisors, officers, or directors of the Company. In May 1994, the Board
    adopted and the stockholders of the Company approved the 1994 Option Plan,
    the Stock Purchase Plan and the Director Option Plan and provided that no
    further grants may be made under the 1991 Option Plan.

    Under the Company's 1994 Option Plan, a variety of awards, including stock
    options, stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock
    grants may be made to the Company's employees, officers, consultants and
    advisors who are expected to contribute to the Company's future growth and
    success. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers
    the 1994 Option Plan and determines the price and other terms upon which
    awards shall be made. Stock options may be granted either in the form of
    incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options and are granted at
    fair market value. Options or other awards that are granted under the Plan
    but expire unexercised are available for future grants.

13. CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)

    Under the Company's Stock Purchase Plan, which has been inactive through
    December 31, 1998, employees and officers of the Company are eligible to
    participate in semiannual plan offerings in which payroll deductions may be
    used to purchase shares of Common Stock. The purchase price of such shares
    is 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the lower of the
    value at either the commencement date or termination date of the offering
    under the Stock Purchase Plan.

    The Director Option Plan provides that each new non-employee director first
    elected will receive a nonstatutory option to purchase 30,000 shares of
    Common Stock upon his or her initial election. In addition, each
    non-employee director will receive an annual nonstatutory option to purchase
    3,000 shares of Common Stock under the Director Option Plan during his or
    her tenure. All options granted to directors under the Director Option Plan
    have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on
    the date of grant and expire the earlier of 90 days after the optionee
    ceases to serve as a director of the Company or ten years after the date of
    grant. Options granted under the Director Option Plan are fully vested and
    are exercisable when granted.

    Options granted under the 1991 Option Plan and the 1994 Option Plan
    generally vest over a two- to four-year period. Options to purchase
    approximately 1,918,000 and 2,411,000 shares were vested and exercisable at
    December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, with weighted average exercise
    prices of $6.12 and $7.53, respectively. The weighted average fair value per
    share of options granted during 1997 and 1998 was $4.79 and $7.02,
    respectively. Options of approximately 469,000 shares were available for
    future grant at December 31, 1998, under all plans. The Company has reserved
    sufficient shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of stock
    options and stock warrants. Stock option activity since December 31, 1995 is

    During 1996, the Board of Directors authorized the exchange of 134,800 stock
    options originally granted during 1996 under the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan
    at exercise prices ranging from $8.00 to $30.25 for 134,800 stock options
    having an exercise price of $10.375 and $7.6875, the fair market value on
    the dates of exchange.

    During 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the exchange of 287,500 stock
    options originally granted during 1996 under the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan
    at exercise prices ranging from $15.17 to $25.00 for 287,500 stock options
    having an exercise price of $7.25, the fair market value on the date of
    exchange.

    The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123 as
    they pertain to financial statement recognition of compensation expense
    attributable to option grants. If the Company had elected to recognize
    compensation cost for the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan and the 1994 Director
    Stock Option Plan consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and

13. CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED)

    WARRANTS

    In connection with the issuance of convertible notes payable in May 1994,
    the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of
    Common Stock. These warrants have an exercise price of approximately $5.30
    per share and expire in May 1999. As of December 31, 1998, all of these
    warrants are outstanding. The Company estimated a fair value of $1.24 per
    share of underlying Common Stock attributable to these warrants. No
    resulting expense was reflected on the Company's financial statements, as
    such amounts were immaterial.

    In connection with a line of credit agreement entered into in October 1995,
    the Company issued warrants to purchase 132,000 shares of Common Stock at an
    exercise price of $5.00 per share. As of December 31, 1998, 120,000 of these
    warrants are outstanding. The Company estimated a fair value of $1.69 per
    share of underlying Common Stock attributable to these warrants. Because the
    line of credit was terminated in December 1995, the resulting expense of
    $224,000 was fully amortized to expense during the fourth quarter of 1995.

    In June 1997, the Company entered into a license agreement (the "Agreement")
    with ConAgra, Inc. ("ConAgra"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company
    granted to ConAgra a warrant to purchase one million shares of Common Stock
    at $25.00 per share. The warrant became fully exercisable on August 11, 1997
    and expires on August 11, 2007, subject to an early termination date of
    December 15, 2002 if certain revenue milestones are not achieved. The
    Company recorded a noncash charge equal to the fair value of the warrant of
    $2.3 million in the third quarter of 1997.

    All of the warrants issued by the Company contain anti-dilutive provisions
    that adjust the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase
    under the warrant or the exercise price, upon the subsequent issuance of
    certain equity securities or equivalents below the respective exercise
    prices of the warrants. During 1997, warrantholders exercised 194,828
    warrants (originally granted prior to 1994) generating proceeds to the
    Company of approximately $997,000. During 1998, warrantholders exercised
    12,000 warrants (originally granted in 1995) resulting in the issuance of
    7,025 shares of Common Stock and the cancellation of 4,975 warrants as
    payment for the exercise. At December 31, 1998, warrantholders could
    purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock totaling 1,180,000 at
    exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $25.00 per share.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    On December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement
    (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") to sell all of the issued and outstanding
    share capital of FuiszDrugstore.com Ltd. ("FuiszDrugstore"), then a
    wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to a corporation owned by Richard C.
    Fuisz, M.D. ("Dr. Fuisz"). At the Closing, which took place in
    February 1999, the Company delivered the shares, which were transferred to
    RxDrugstore.com Limited ("RxDrugstore.com") and received consideration of
    $100,000 in cash and 200,000 shares of common stock of RxDrugstore.com
    (which represents 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of
    RxDrugstore.com). The Company will account for its 5% investment in
    RxDrugstore.com using the cost method. Prior to the Closing, FuiszDrugstore
    was engaged in sales of drugstore products over the Internet.

    In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, in February 1999, the
    Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dr. Fuisz (the "Subsidiary")
    concluded a 20 year license agreement (the "License Agreement"), which
    grants the Subsidiary the non-exclusive right to sell Licensed Products (as
    that term is defined in the License Agreement) through the Internet. The
    license covers all existing products of the Company as well as certain
    additional products developed by the Company over the next four years. In

    consideration for the license, the Company received a non-interest bearing
    promissory note for $2.4 million, payable by the Subsidiary in four annual
    installments commencing on December 31, 1999.

    Dr. Fuisz, a director of the Company, is a director and greater than 10%
    stockholder of RxDrugstore.com. The purchase price was determined by the
    Company's management and approved by the Board of Directors. Dr. Fuisz did
    not participate in the determination of the purchase price or the
    deliberations of the Board.

    The tax effects of the temporary differences giving rise to the Company's
    deferred taxes at December 31, 1997 and 1998 are as follows:

</TABLE>

    Realization of net deferred tax assets at the balance sheet dates is
    dependent on the Company's ability to generate future taxable income which
    is uncertain. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was recorded against
    these assets as of December 31, 1997 and 1998.

    As of December 31, 1998, the Company has available net operating loss
    carryforwards of approximately $83,408,000 and general business credit
    carryforwards of $204,000. These loss and credit carryforwards expire at
    various dates beginning in 1998. There may be limitations on the annual
    utilization of these net operating losses and general business credits as a
    result of certain changes in ownership that have occurred since the
    Company's inception. The Company's total net operating loss carryforwards
    include $15,982,000 related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options.
    The tax benefit of $6,073,000 related to the exercise of these options will
    be credited to stockholders' equity when realized.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    During 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
    of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires the Company
    to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
    operating segments. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as
    those described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
    Segment data includes a charge for management fees allocating a portion of
    corporate headquarters' costs to each of its operating segments. The Company
    is engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization of a wide
    variety of pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products. To achieve these
    objectives, the Company has three reportable segments: Pharmaceutical
    Operations, Pharmaceutical Research and Development and Consumer Healthcare.

        PHARMACEUTICAL OPERATIONS.  This segment includes the selling and
    distribution of a wide variety of pharmaceutical products through five of
    the Company's subsidiaries: Fuisz Pharma KG, Murat, Istoria, Pangea and
    Clonmel. These companies operate as pharmaceutical marketing and
    distribution companies and sell various pharmaceutical products for which
    they own product marketing rights through their distribution channels. This
    segment also includes the Company's manufacturing operations, which through
    December 31, 1998, have principally taken place at the manufacturing
    facilities of Clonmel. The products sold by this segment are either
    manufactured by Clonmel or by third parties contracted by the Company.

        PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  This segment includes research
    and development efforts focused on developing pharmaceutical products for
    the Company's collaborators as well as Company-funded products for future
    collaboration. The Company's collaborative arrangements typically provide
    for a customer-funded development project and contemplate a licensing
    arrangement under which, if a product is commercialized by the collaborative
    partner, the Company would receive license fees, royalty payments from
    product sales and manufacturing revenue.

        CONSUMER HEALTHCARE.  This segment includes product research and
    development efforts primarily focused on developing food and nutraceutical
    products for the Company's collaborators as well as the manufacture and sale
    of such products through conventional distribution channels. Through
    December 31, 1998, this segment's operations have principally been focused
    on research and development activities. The Company's collaborative
    arrangements are structured similar to those of the Pharmaceutical Research
    and Development segment.

            present value and the face value of the debt is recorded as
            additional paid-in capital. The present value of the debt is
            accreted to the face value over the term of the debt using the
            effective interest method.

        (ii) Under Cdn. GAAP, unrealized gains and losses on marketable
             securities are recorded as a component of net loss.

        (i) There is no requirement to disclose comprehensive loss under Cdn.
            GAAP. Accumulated other comprehensive loss has been included in
            accumulated deficit, except for the portion of accumulated other

            currency translation adjustments which has been disclosed

18. CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)

       substantially the same as SFAS No. 95. Accordingly, there are no
       reconciling differences related to the Company's statements of cash flows
       under US and Cdn. GAAP.

19. UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to
    the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
    information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
    regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited
    interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all

    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    The Company believes that the carrying amount of certain of its financial
    instruments, which include cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts
    receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, term loans and
    installment notes, approximates fair value due to the relatively short
    maturity of these instruments. As of June 30, 1999, the fair value of the
    $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7% Convertible Subordinated
    Debentures due October 15, 2004, was approximately $35.6 million.

    OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

    The Company recorded nonrecurring charges of $5.7 million during the second
    quarter. The nonrecurring expenses include approximately a $1.6 million
    charge for impairment of goodwill associated with the Company's Pangea unit
    as discussed in Note 5 as well as a $3.6 million charge relating to expenses
    associated with an employee head-count reduction program (including
    severance) and other expenses concerning executive resignations, among
    others.

    SEGMENT INFORMATION

    The Company is engaged in the development, manufacture and commercialization
    of a wide variety of pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare products. To
    achieve these objectives, the Company has three

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

19. UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

    reportable segments: Pharmaceutical Operations, Pharmaceutical Research and
    Development and Consumer Healthcare.

    PHARMACEUTICAL OPERATIONS.  This segment includes the selling and
    distribution of a wide variety of pharmaceutical products through five of
    the Company's subsidiaries: Laboratoires Murat ("Murat"), Pangea, Ltd.
    ("Pangea"), Clonmel Healthcare Limited ("Clonmel"), Istoria Farmaceutici
    ("Istoria") and Dr. Rentschler GmbH & Co. Medizin KG ("Fuisz Pharma KG").
    These companies operate as pharmaceutical marketing and distribution
    companies and sell various pharmaceutical products for which they own
    product marketing rights through their distribution channels. This segment
    also includes the Company's manufacturing operations, which through
    June 30, 1999, have principally taken place at the manufacturing facilities
    of Clonmel. The products sold by this segment are either manufactured by
    Clonmel or by third parties contracted by the Company.

    As a result of Pangea's inability to achieve improvements specified in
    business plans developed by management over prior business cycles, including
    efforts to help improve product sales and attract new distributors to its
    marketing program, Pangea has incurred recurring losses since its
    acquisition in 1997. Pangea continued operating at a loss for the first half
    of 1999. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1.6 million impairment charge
    in the second quarter which represents a complete write-down of the
    unamortized balance of goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition
    of Pangea.

    PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  This segment includes research and
    development efforts focused on developing pharmaceutical products for the
    Company's collaborative partners as well as Company-funded products for
    future collaboration. The Company's collaborative arrangements typically
    provide for a customer-funded development project and contemplate a
    licensing arrangement under which, if a product is commercialized by the
    collaborative partner, the Company would receive license fees, royalty
    payments from product sales and manufacturing revenue.

    CONSUMER HEALTHCARE.  This segment includes product research and development
    efforts primarily focused on developing consumer healthcare products for the
    Company's collaborative partners as well as the manufacture and sale of such
    products through conventional distribution channels. The Company's
    collaborative arrangements are structured similarly to those of the
    Pharmaceutical Research and Development segment.

    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    Proposed Merger with Biovail Corporation International. The Company entered
    into a Merger Agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with Biovail Corporation
    International ("Biovail") dated as of July 25, 1999. Pursuant to the Merger
    Agreement, Biovail has commenced a cash tender offer for that number of
    shares that would result in Biovail owning 49% of the outstanding common
    stock, par value $.01 of the Company ("Common Stock"). The Merger Agreement
    contemplates that the Company will subsequently become a wholly-owned
    subsidiary of Biovail. In connection with the Merger, all remaining
    outstanding shares of Common Stock will be exchanged for Common Stock of
    Biovail. The Merger is subject to completion of the tender offer, approval
    by the Company's stockholders and satisfaction or waiver of certain other
    conditions. Consummation of the tender offer or the Merger may significantly
    affect the future operations, capital requirements and liquidity of the
    Company in manners that differ from those originally contemplated by
    management. The transaction will be accounted for by the purchase method of
    accounting for business combinations. The transaction is subject to
    regulatory approvals in the United States, and Europe.

    Proposed sale of continental European operations. Fuisz has entered into a
    non-binding letter of intent for the sale of certain of its continental
    European operations and the rights to a particular product.

    CONTINGENCIES

    On July 2, 1999, the Company received a demand for arbitration filed by
    Kenneth W. McVey and Casteldermot Limited, relating to a dispute over
    severance benefits with Mr. McVey, the Company's former Chief Executive
    Officer. The demand arises from the Company's action to withhold from
    payments under the McVey Agreement amounts that would have been payable to
    the IRS if, after Mr. McVey became CEO of the Company, Mr. McVey's
    compensation constituted U.S. source income subject to tax withholding. The

    amounts that have been withheld from payment under the McVey Agreement have

    the balance sheet.

    CANADIAN GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

    The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US
    GAAP") which differ in certain material respects from those applicable in

        (i) Under Cdn. GAAP, convertible debt is recorded at the present value
            of the principal and interest cash flows discounted at the company's
            borrowing rate (estimated at 10%). The difference between the
            present value and the face value of the debt is recorded as
            additional paid-in capital. The present value of the debt is
            accreted to the face value over the term of the debt using the
            effective interest method.

    b)  Comprehensive loss

       There is no requirement to disclose comprehensive loss under Cdn. GAAP.

        (i) There is no requirement to disclose comprehensive loss under Cdn.
            GAAP. Accumulated other comprehensive loss has been included in
            accumulated deficit, except for the portion of accumulated other
            comprehensive loss attributable to the cumulative effect of foreign
            currency translation adjustments which has been disclosed
            separately.

    d)  Under US GAAP, the Company's statements of cash flows are prepared
       pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 95, STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS. For
       purposes of Cdn. GAAP, the Company has elected to adopt the provisions of
       CICA Handbook Section 1540, Cash Flow Statements, which provisions are
       substantially the same as SFAS No. 95. Accordingly, there are no
       reconciling differences related to the Company's statements of cash flows
       under US and Cdn. GAAP.

To the Board of Directors of
Biovail Corporation

    We have reviewed, as to compilation only, the accompanying pro forma
combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, which has
been prepared for inclusion in the short form prospectus of Biovail Corporation
dated March 15, 2000, relating to the issue of US$300,000,000 6.75% Convertible
Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures due March 31, 2025 of Biovail

    In our opinion, the pro forma combined statement of operations has been
properly compiled to give effect to the transactions and assumptions described
in the accompanying notes thereto.

               COMMENTS FOR UNITED STATES READERS ON CANADIAN AND
                      UNITED STATES REPORTING DIFFERENCES

    The above report, provided solely pursuant to Canadian requirements, is
expressed in accordance with standards of reporting generally accepted in
Canada. Such standards contemplate the expression of an opinion with respect to
the compilation of pro forma financial information. United States standards do
not provide for the expression of an opinion on the compilation of pro forma
financial information. To report in conformity with United States standards on
the reasonableness of pro forma adjustments and their application to the pro
forma financial information requires an examination or review substantially
greater in scope than the review we have conducted. Consequently, we are unable
to express any opinion in accordance with standards of reporting generally
accepted in the United States with respect to the compilation of the
accompanying pro forma combined financial statements.

                              BIOVAIL CORPORATION

                NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)
      (U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE FIGURES AND UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying pro forma statements have been prepared by the management
    of Biovail based on the audited consolidated financial statements of Biovail
    as at and for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the unaudited
    consolidated financial statements of Fuisz for the period from January 1,
    1999 to November 12, 1999, adjusted to reflect classifications consistent
    with the presentation adapted by Biovail. The accounting policies used in
    the preparation of the pro forma statements are those disclosed in Biovail's
    audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated
    financial statements of Fuisz have been prepared in accordance with
    U.S. GAAP, and any material differences between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP
    have been adjusted.

    In the opinion of the management of Biovail these pro forma statements
    include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of pro forma
    statements.

    The pro forma statements also are not necessarily indicative of the results
    that actually would have been achieved if the transactions reflected therein
    had been completed on the dates indicated, or of the results which may be
    obtained in the future. In preparing these pro forma statements, except as
    otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made to reflect transactions which
    have occurred since the dates indicated or to reflect the operating benefits
    and general and administrative cost savings expected to result from
    combining the operations of Biovail and Fuisz.

    The pro forma statements should be read in conjunction with the description
    of the acquisition in the audited consolidated financial statements of
    Biovail as at and for the year ended December 31, 1999 and notes thereto,
    included in this prospectus, and the audited consolidated financial
    statements for Fuisz as at and for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
    notes thereto, also included in this prospectus.

2.  PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

    The pro forma statements incorporate the following assumptions:

    - Acquisition of Fuisz and the sale of certain European sales and marketing
      operations

    - Issuance of $300 million 6.75% Convertible Subordinated Preferred
      Equivalent Debentures pursuant to this offering

    - Issuance of 2,000,000 common shares pursuant to a concurrent offering

    - Repayments of the $125 million US Dollar Senior Notes at 10 7/8% due 2005
      with proceeds of the Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent
      Debentures and common share offerings.

    These pro forma statements give effect to the following assumptions and
    adjustments as if they had occurred on January 1, 1999.

    2.1 DIVESTITURE OF CERTAIN FUISZ OPERATIONS

       To adjust for the divestiture of certain European operations of Fuisz and
       a particular product, CEBUTID, which were sold by Fuisz prior to the
       acquisition by Biovail. The results of these European operations are
       excluded from the Company's Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations.
       No gain or loss is to be reflected in Biovail's financial statements
       relating to these disposals as these operations have been included in the
       purchase price equation at their fair value.

       These pro forma financial statements do not adjust for the effects of the
       sale of another Fuisz operation, Clonmel Healthcare Ltd. which was
       identified for sale as part of the acquisition. Biovail has

          NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)
      (U.S. DOLLARS, EXCEPT PER SHARE FIGURES AND UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)

2.  PRO FORMA ASSUMPTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS (CONTINUED)

       reached an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of
       Clonmel. The transaction is expected to close in early 2000. Please see
       Management Discussion and Analysis for a description of the effect on
       these pro forma financial statements of this divestiture.

    2.2 AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL

       To record the incremental cost of $7.9 million related to the
       amortization of goodwill, in-process research and development ("IPR&D")
       and other intangibles, arising from the acquisition, over amortization
       expense from continuing operations previously recorded by Fuisz and
       Biovail of $3.6 million.

    2.3 INTEREST EXPENSE

        (i) To eliminate interest of $5.0 million for December 31, 1999 recorded
            as interest on the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debentures of Fuisz
            which became immediately payable following the commencement of an
            offer to purchase for cash all the outstanding 7% Convertible
            Subordinated Debentures on November 17, 1999. This has been recorded
            as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1999 in the pro
            forma financial statements.

        (ii) To eliminate interest of $13.6 million for December 31, 1999
             recorded as interest on the $125 million US Dollar Senior Notes due
             2005 which will be repaid with proceeds of the convertible
             preferred securities and common share offering. The retirement of
             the Senior Notes will result in a loss which has not been included
             in the pro forma financial statements.

       (iii) To eliminate amortization of deferred financing costs of
             $0.7 million on the $125 million US Dollar Senior Notes due 2005
             for the year ended December 31, 1999, recorded as a component of
             interest expense.

    2.4 EQUITY IN LOSS OF FUISZ TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

       To eliminate the equity loss of Fuisz for the period September 3, to
       November 12, 1999. During this period, Biovail had a 49% interest in
       Fuisz and applied equity accounting for this investment.

    2.5 TERMINATION OF CONTRACT

       Fuisz is a party to agreements relating to licenses of Fuisz' technology
       for use in the manufacture and development of products. Biovail is in the
       process of renegotiating or terminating certain of these agreements.
       Therefore, the license fees associated with these agreements have been
       eliminated.

    2.6 CHARGES ON CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED PREFERRED EQUIVALENT DEBENTURES

       To record charges of $21.1 million on the $300 million Convertible
       Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures which will be issued
       pursuant to this offering assuming this transaction occurred on
       January 1, 1999.

       To record amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.5 million,
       recorded as a component of charges on the $300 million Convertible
       Subordinated Preferred Equivalent Debentures which will be issued
       pursuant to this offering assuming this transaction occurred on
       January 1, 1999.

     I. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
        immediately write-off IPR&D. Under Canadian GAAP, IPR&D has been
        capitalized and is being amortized over its useful life of fifteen
        years. Under Canadian GAAP amortization of IPR&D for the year was
        $7.9 million. Under US GAAP, the IPR&D of $136.2 million is written off
        immediately but has not been reflected in the reconciliation above.

4.  RECONCILIATION OF PRO FORMA RESULTS REPORTED UNDER CANADIAN GAAP WITH
    U.S. GAAP (CONTINUED)

    II. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
        write off certain product launch and advertising costs incurred during
        the year. The adjustment represents the portion of the product launch
        and advertising costs currently expensed under Canadian GAAP which have
        been previously written off under US GAAP.

    III. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
         record in paid-up capital an amount equal to the proceeds attributable
         to warrants as determined at the time of their issuance, along with an
         offsetting contra equity account, "Warrant subscription receivable".
         The contra account is amortized over the life of the warrants. Under
         Canadian GAAP, the offsetting amount was recorded as an immediate
         reduction in retained earnings.

    IV. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
        account for compensation expense arising from certain employee stock
        option plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board
        No. 25. No such expense is required under Canadian GAAP.

     V. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
        write-off the cost of intangibles that are purchased from others for
        research and development projects that have no alternative future use at
        the time of acquisition. Under Canadian GAAP, these costs have been
        capitalized.

    VI. For the purpose of reporting under US GAAP, companies are required to
        record charges on the Convertible Subordinated Preferred Equivalent
        Debentures at the coupon rate of 6.75%. Under Canadian GAAP, the
        interest is recorded at the effective yield rate taking into
        consideration the ascribed fair value attributable to the convertible
        feature.
