                          GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

Item 2. Identity and Background.

         This statement is being filed pursuant to a Joint Filing Agreement
(attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference) by (i) Fleming US
Discovery Fund III, L.P. ("US Fund"), (ii) Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund
III, L.P. ("Offshore Fund"), (iii) Fleming US Discovery Partners, L.P. ("Fleming
Partners"), the general partner of the US Fund and a general partner of the
Offshore Fund, (iv) Fleming US Discovery, LLC ("Discovery"), the general partner
of Fleming Partners, (v) Robert Fleming, Inc. ("RFI"), investment adviser to the
US Fund and Offshore Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), and (vi) Robert Fleming
Holdings, Ltd. ("RFH"), the parent of RFI (sometimes collectively referred to as
the "Reporting Persons").

         In August 1999, the name of Fleming Capital Management was changed to
Fleming Asset Management USA. David J. Edwards was re-elected as a director of
the Issuer as of December 14, 1999. Robert L. Burr is no longer a director of
the Issuer. Mr. Edwards is a Vice President at Fleming Asset Management USA.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) On December 14, 1999, the US Fund exchanged (x) 43,093 shares of Series D
Preferred Stock for 43,093 shares of Series 1-A Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series 1-A Preferred Stock") and (y) warrants exercisable at $4.00 per share,
pursuant to Series D Warrant Certificates No. 1 and No. 3, to purchase up to
323,200 and 215,462 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively, for
warrants exercisable at $4.00 per share, pursuant to Series 1 Warrant
Certificate No. 5, to purchase up to 538,662 shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer (the "Offshore Fund Warrant Shares"). Such Series 1-A Preferred Stock is
convertible into 2,154,650 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain
anti-dilution provisions (the "US Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares").


<PAGE>


         On December 14, 1999, the Offshore Fund exchanged (x) 6,907 shares of
Series D Preferred Stock for 6,907 shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock and (y)
warrants exercisable at $4.00 per share, pursuant to Series D Warrant
Certificates No. 2 and No. 4, to purchase up to 51,800 and 34,538 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively, for warrants exercisable at $4.00 per
share, pursuant to Series 1 Warrant Certificate No. 6, to purchase up to 86,338
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Offshore Fund Warrant Shares") . Such
Series 1-A Preferred Stock is convertible into 345,350 shares of Common Stock,
subject to certain anti-dilution provisions (the "Offshore Fund Series 1-A
Conversion Shares").

         Because of their relationship as affiliated entities, both Funds may be
deemed to beneficially own the US Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund
Warrant Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares and the Offshore
Fund Warrant Shares. As the general partner of both Funds, Fleming Partners may
be deemed to beneficially own the US Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund
Warrant Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares and the Offshore
Fund Warrant Shares. As the general partner of Fleming Partners, Discovery may
be deemed to beneficially own the US Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund
Warrant Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares and the Offshore
Fund Warrant Shares. As investment adviser to the Funds, controlling member of
Discovery and the sole limited partner of Fleming Partners, RFI may be deemed to
beneficially own the US Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant
Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund
Warrant Shares. RFI is 100% owned by RFH. RFH is 100% owned by Copthall Overseas
Limited which is ultimately 100% owned by Robert Fleming Holdings Limited. Thus,
as the indirect parent of RFI, RFH may be deemed to beneficially own the US
Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant Shares, the Offshore Fund
Series 1-A Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund Warrant Shares.

         As of December 14, 1999, each of the Funds, each of Fleming Partners,
Discovery, RFI and RFH may be deemed to have owned beneficially 11.27% of the
outstanding Common Stock, on an aggregated basis, which percentage is calculated
based upon (i) 24,608,167 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding by the
Issuer to the Reporting Persons as of December 14, 1999, including 17,354,114
shares of Common Stock newly issued pursuant to the Merger, (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock (2,500,000) issuable upon conversion of the US Fund
Series 1-A Preferred Stock and Offshore Fund Series 1-A Preferred Stock and
(iii) the number of shares of Common Stock (625,000) issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants.

         The percentage is calculated by dividing 3,125,000 (which is the sum of
2,500,000 and 625,000) by 27,733,167 (which is the sum of 2,500,000, 625,000 and
24,608,167).

(b) The information required by this paragraph is reflected on Lines 7-10 of
each Reporting Person's cover page, incorporated herein by reference.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common
Stock during the last 60 days.


Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
        the Securities of the Issuer.

         The Funds exchanged their respective shares of Series D Preferred Stock
for Series 1-A Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Merger Plan.

         The Funds exchanged their respective Series D Warrants for Series 1
Warrants, pursuant to changes to their respective Warrant Certificates, dated as
of December 14, 1999, and executed by the Issuer, reflecting the name change of
the Issuer and the exchange of Series 1-A Preferred Stock for Series D Preferred
Stock.

         Pursuant to the Merger Plan, on December 14, 1999, the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Issuer, in effect immediately prior to the Merger, which
included the Certificate of Designations of the Series D Preferred Stock, filed
with the Secretary of State of Delaware on February 26, 1999, was amended and
restated in full as the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer (the
"Certificate of Designations"), which includes the designation of 50,000 shares


<PAGE>

of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer, as a series of the
preferred stock designated as "Series 1-A Convertible Preferred Stock" and the
designation of 170,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share of
the Issuer, as a series of preferred stock designated as "Series 1-B Convertible
Preferred Stock." Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations (see Exhibit 3
hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference), so long as either (i) the
Funds, any Affiliate, officer or employee of an Affiliate or investment fund
managed by an Affiliate of the Funds to which the Funds may transfer record or
beneficial ownership of any shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock or any shares
of Common Stock obtained or obtainable upon conversion of any shares of Series
1-A Preferred Stock ("Fleming Holder") own at least 40% of the Series 1-A
Preferred Stock that it owned on December 14, 1999 (the effective date of the
merger between Global Pharmaceutical Corporation and Impax Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.) or (ii) any transferee (except for a Fleming Holder) of any shares of
Series 1-A Preferred Stock or any shares of Common Stock obtained or obtainable
upon conversion of any shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock ("Transferee") owns
at least 40% of the Series 1-A Preferred Stock owned on an aggregate basis by
the Fleming Holders on December 14, 1999 (the effective date of the merger
between Global Pharmaceutical Corporation and Impax Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and
the Issuer consented to such Transferee (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), the holders of Series 1-A Preferred Stock, consenting or voting (as
the case may be) as a separate class, shall be entitled, but not required, to
elect one (1) director of the Issuer.

         The Stockholders' Agreement (see Exhibit 4 hereto, which is
incorporated herein by reference), dated as of December 14, 1999, (the "Series 1
Stockholders' Agreement") among the Issuer and the holders of Series 1-A
Convertible Preferred Stock and Series 1-B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series 1 Stockholders") supersedes (a) the Stock and Warrant Purchase
Agreement, dated as of March 2, 1999, between the Issuer and the US Fund, as
amended, (b) the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 2,
1999, between the Issuer and the Offshore Fund, as amended, and (c) the
Stockholders' Agreement, dated as of March 2, 1999, among Barry R. Edwards, the
US Fund and the Offshore Fund. The Series 1 Stockholders' Agreement provides
that in the event that Charles Hsiao, Larry Hsu or Barry R. Edwards (each, a
"Key Senior Executive") proposes to transfer his shares ("Transferor Shares") to
any Person (the "Buyer"), as a condition to such Transfer, such Key Senior
Executive shall cause the Buyer to offer to purchase from each Investor (as
defined therein) up to that number of shares owned by any Investor representing
the same percentage of all shares owned by it as the Transferor Shares are of
all Key Senior Executive shares, subject to certain exceptions. These
"Tag-Along" rights are more fully set forth in Section 3 of the Series 1
Stockholders' Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Merger Plan and the Stockholders' Agreement (attached
as Exhibit G to the Merger Plan), dated as of December 14, 1999 ("Directors
Stockholders' Agreement"), among the Issuer and certain stockholders signatories
thereto (see Exhibit 5 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference),
certain stockholders have agreed to vote certain of their shares in favor of the
election of certain directors and the appointment of certain board observers,
for a period ending on December 14, 2002.

         The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
December 14, 1999, between the Issuer and the Series 1 Stockholders (see Exhibit
6 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) supersedes the Registration
Rights Agreement, dated as of March 2, 1999, between the Issuer, the US Fund and
the Offshore Fund. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights
Agreement, the Issuer has granted (a) certain Demand Registration Rights to
certain Series 1 Holders (as defined therein) that own at least 20,000 shares of
Series 1 Preferred (as defined therein), and (b) certain "piggyback"
registration rights to Series 1 Holders and their permitted transferees, with
respect to the shares of Common Stock held by such stockholders, subject to
certain limitations.
