              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2000
             (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)


1.       GENERAL

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared by Andrx Corporation ("Andrx" or the
"Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. However,
management believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the Company's unaudited financial position and results of operations. The
unaudited results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000
and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be expected for
the remainder of 2000. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.

         In May 1999 and February 2000, the Company's Board of Directors
approved a two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend to
shareholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 1999 and March 15,
2000, respectively. Such stock dividends were distributed in June 1999 and April
2000, respectively. In connection with these stock splits, the Company's
authorized shares of common stock were increased to 100 million. Anti-dilutive
adjustments have been made to the Company's stock option plan and the options
outstanding thereunder. All share and per share amounts included herein give
effect to these stock splits.

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

2.       EQUITY OFFERING

         In May 2000, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
shares of common stock whereby Andrx sold 5,185,128 shares of common stock
receiving net proceeds of $235,800 to be used for the expansion of
manufacturing, research and development and administrative facilities, research
and development for branded and bioequivalent products, acquisition of products,
product candidates and/or companies, working capital requirements and other
general corporate purposes.

3.       Product Distribution, Development and Licensing Agreement

         In June 1999, Andrx entered into an agreement with Geneva
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Geneva") a member of the Novartis pharmaceutical group,
for the sale and marketing of specified products. Geneva will fund the
development of controlled-release dosage forms of existing products that Andrx
is developing for submission as New Drug Applications (NDAs). Andrx granted
marketing rights to Geneva in specified territories for certain products
including one of Andrx' NDA products for the United States. Upon approval by the
FDA or other regulatory agencies, Andrx will receive royalties from the sale of
such product. In June 2000, the Company amended its agreement with Geneva to
include, among other things, additional funding of certain controlled-release
dosage forms of existing products that Andrx is developing for submission as
NDAs. Andrx has also committed to continuing to sell Geneva's bioequivalent
products through Anda, Inc. ("Anda") the Company's distribution subsidiary.

             (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts)


4.       Income Taxes

         For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company provided
$12,124 and $23,980, respectively, for Federal and state income taxes or 42% of
income before income taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,the
Company provided for income taxes of $1,444 and $2,856, respectively, in excess
of the expected annual effective combined Federal and state statutory rate of
37%, primarily due to Andrx' inability to utilize its share of the losses of
Cybear, Inc. ("Cybear"), after Andrx' ownership of Cybear was reduced below 80%
on June 23, 1999. Accordingly, Cybear is excluded from Andrx' consolidated
income tax return and will file as a separate tax entity. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2000, Cybear's net losses did not generate income tax
benefits as Cybear's tax benefits were fully offset by a corresponding increase
in the valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax assets due to the
uncertainty of realization based on Cybear's history of losses.

         For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company provided
$29,958 and $31,974, for Federal and state income taxes or 38% and 36%,
respectively, of income before income taxes. The Company was not required to
provide for Federal and state income taxes at 39%, the then expected annual
effective combined Federal and state statutory rate due to the utilization of
the Company's net operating loss carryforwards, offset by Andrx' inability to
utilize Cybear's expected net losses incurred after June 23, 1999, as Andrx'
ownership in Cybear was reduced below 80% on June 23, 1999.

         The following table indicates the activity in the valuation allowance:

</TABLE>

         Under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, as of June 30, 2000, the Company
had recorded a valuation allowance to reserve against 100% of the net deferred
income tax assets of Cybear of $8,322, which resulted after June 23, 1999, as
previously discussed.

         Net operating loss carryforwards are subject to review and possible
adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and may be limited in the event of
certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders
over a three-year period in excess of 50%.

7.       CONTINGENCIES

         On June 6, 2000, the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan granted plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment
against the Company and Aventis S.A. ("Aventis") in the pending punitive class
actions. The Court concluded that the Stipulation and Agreement ("Stipulation")
that the Company had entered into with Aventis relating to their Cardizem(R) CD
patent litigation constitutes a restraint of trade that is illegal per se under
section 1 of the Sherman-Antitrust Act. Without addressing the issues of whether
the Stipulation had any anti-competitive effect or caused any injury or damages,
the court determined that the Stipulation constituted a restraint of trade that
was a per se violation of the federal antitrust laws. The court must still
determine the issues of whether the Stipulation caused any injury or damages to
consumers. The court's decision is subject to Andrx' right to appeal at the
conclusion of the litigation, but Andrx has asked the court to permit an
immediate appeal of the ruling. Andrx disagrees with Judge Edmunds'
interpretation of the Stipulation and the law.

         Except as stated above, there have been no other material developments
in any legal matters described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

8.       Reorganization Plan

         In March 2000, Andrx and Cybear announced that they entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the
"Reorganization") with respect to their previously announced tracking stock
reorganization plan. This Reorganization plan was recommended to the Cybear
Board of Directors by its special committee and approved by the boards of both
Cybear and Andrx, and will create two classes of Andrx common stock, Cybear
Group Common Stock, to separately track the performance of Cybear, and Andrx
Group Common Stock to track the performance of Andrx other than its ownership of
Cybear. The Reorganization plan, will be submitted for approval to the
shareholders of Andrx and Cybear on September 5, 2000 at the Andrx annual
meeting of shareholders and the Cybear special meeting of shareholders.

         If approved, the Reorganization contemplates the creation of Andrx
Corporation, a new holding company under Delaware law ("Andrx Corporation"). A
wholly-owned subsidiary of Andrx Corporation would merge with and into Andrx,
with Andrx surviving the merger and another wholly owned subsidiary of the Andrx
Corporation would merge with and into Cybear with Cybear surviving the merger.
The Reorganization will become effective on the date and time that the
certificate of merger is filed with the Delaware and Florida Secretaries of
State or such other date and time specified in the certificate of merger.

         Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data giving pro
forma effect to the Reorganization are presented on pages 11-17 of this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

                      CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA


         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets as of
June 30, 2000 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and for the year ended
December 31, 1999, give pro forma effect to the corporate reorganization plan
(the "Reorganization") which will create two classes of Andrx Corporation common
stock, Cybear Group Common Stock, to separately track the performance of Cybear
and Andrx Group Common Stock, to represent the equity interests of Andrx other
than its ownership of Cybear.

         In connection with the Reorganization, Andrx Corporation will acquire
all of the publicly traded shares of common stock of Cybear in what the parties
anticipate will be a tax-free reorganization. Cybear's public shareholders
currently own approximately 4.9 million shares, or 27.6% of the common shares of
Cybear as of June 30, 2000 and those shareholders will receive one share of
Cybear Group Common Stock for every share of Cybear common stock they currently
own. In the Reorganization, the number of Cybear shares held by Andrx will be
reduced from 12.9 million shares to 10.8 million shares so as to provide the
equivalent of a 20% increase in shares held by the non-Andrx shareholders of
Cybear. Upon completion of the Reorganization, the non-Andrx shareholders of
Cybear will own approximately 31.2% of the Cybear Group Common Stock following
the closing of the transaction. Pursuant to the Reorganization, each Andrx
common share will be converted into (i) one share of Andrx Group Common Stock
and (ii) approximately .1492 shares of Cybear Group Common Stock. Upon
completion of the Reorganization, (i) Cybear will be a wholly owned subsidiary
of Andrx Corporation with 100% of its value publicly traded in the form of
Cybear Group Common Stock, (ii) current Cybear public shareholders will own
approximately 31.2% of the Cybear Group Common Stock; and (iii) current Andrx
shareholders will own 100% of the Andrx Group Common Stock and approximately
68.8% of the Cybear Group Common Stock. The preceding share ownership and
percentages exclude the potential exercise by Edward E. Goldman, M.D., Cybear's
Chief Executive Officer, of an outstanding warrant to acquire approximately
525,000 shares of Cybear common stock currently owned by Andrx.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheets give
effect to the Reorganization as if it occurred as of June 30, 2000. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give effect
to the Reorganization as if it occurred at the beginning of each period
presented.

         Prior to the Reorganization, Andrx Corporation and subsidiaries had a
single class of common stock outstanding and, accordingly, presented
consolidated financial statements relating to that one class. As a result of the
Reorganization, Andrx Corporation will have two classes of common stock as
follows:

         1.       Cybear Group Common Stock representing the equity interest and
                  businesses of the Cybear Group comprised of Andrx
                  Corporation's Cybear subsidiary, and

         2.       Andrx Group Common Stock representing the equity interests and
                  businesses of the Andrx Group comprised of Andrx Corporation
                  and its subsidiaries other than the Cybear Group.

         Accordingly, under the Reorganization, Andrx Corporation will present
consolidated financial statements and also separate financial statements
relating to each class of common stock.

                      CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA


         Cybear Group and Andrx Group financial statements will include basic
and diluted earnings (loss) per share based on each group's respective operating
results and basic and diluted shares outstanding. The Andrx Corporation and
subsidiaries consolidated financial statements will not reflect consolidated
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share since there will be no underlying
equity security related to the consolidated financial results. In connection
with the Reorganization, Cybear and the other members of the Andrx consolidated
group will enter into, among other things, a Federal and state tax sharing
agreement. The financial statements of Andrx Group and Cybear Group will utilize
the separate company method of accounting for purposes of allocating Federal and
state consolidated tax liabilities among group members. Under the terms of the
tax sharing agreement, a member of the group will be entitled to its income tax
benefits in the year generated to the extent that the member can utilize such
tax benefits in the year generated. To the extent that a member cannot utilize
its income tax benefits in the year generated, the member will not be
compensated in that year by other members of the Andrx consolidated group for
any utilization of those benefits. Instead, if and when a member leaves the
group, Andrx Corporation may elect to reimburse that member for any unreimbursed
income tax benefits utilized. That reimbursement will take the form of a capital
investment by Andrx Corporation, for which it will receive stock. In the case of
any "tracking stock" members, such as the Cybear Group, the stock received by
Andrx Corporation shall be in the form of tracking designated shares. In
addition, if any member of the group causes another member to become subject to
state tax in a state where it would otherwise not be taxed on a separate company
basis, the member causing the tax liability shall be fully responsible for the
state tax of the other member.

         For financial statement purposes, at such time as the Cybear Group
achieves profitability, if ever, or is otherwise able to recognize its tax
benefits under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
the Cybear Group will recognize the benefit of its accumulated income tax
benefits accumulated since June 23, 1999 (which had previously been utilized by
the Andrx Group prior to that date) in its statement of operations with a
corresponding decrease to the Cybear Group's shareholders' equity (i.e.,
effectively accounted for as a non-cash dividend). To the extent the Andrx Group
is profitable and is able to utilize such tax benefit and the Cybear Group is
generating losses, it is expected that the Andrx Group's effective tax rate will
be less than the statutory Federal and state rate. If the Cybear Group is ever
able to attain profitability or is otherwise able to recognize its tax benefits,
the Andrx Group's effective tax rate may be greater than the statutory Federal
and state income tax rate to the extent of the Cybear Group's then unreimbursed
accumulated tax benefits that can be realized (the Andrx Group will then reverse
the tax benefits previously recorded, i.e., effectively transferring such tax
benefits to the Cybear Group in the form of a non-cash equity transaction).

         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data is
provided for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations or financial position had the transactions assumed
therein occurred, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that may be expected to occur in the future. Consummation of the transaction is
subject to various conditions, including approval by shareholders of Andrx and
Cybear. In addition to shareholder approval, the transaction will be subject to
various Federal and state regulatory approvals, and accordingly, no assurance
can be given that this transaction will be consummated. Andrx and Cybear have
filed a joint proxy statement and a registration statement with respect to the
proposed transaction. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial data is based upon assumptions the Company believes are
reasonable and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated
financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

</TABLE>

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data,
the market price of Cybear, Inc. common stock was assumed to be $5.00 per share,
which was adjusted to $5.65 per share resulting from the elimination of
2,058,700 Cybear shares due to the exchange rate included in the Reorganization.
As provided under the Reorganization terms, the shares eliminated in the
Reorganization are calculated excluding the potential exercise by Edward E.
Goldman, M.D., Cybear's Chief Executive Officer, of an outstanding warrant to
acquire approximately 525,000 shares of Cybear common stock currently owned by
Andrx. In connection with the repurchase of the historical Cybear minority
interest, the resulting goodwill of $19,759 was allocated to Cybear Group Common
shareholders. The actual amount of goodwill will be determined based upon
Cybear's common stock price as of the closing of the transaction. An increase or
decrease of $1.00 in Cybear's common stock price will result in an increase or
decrease of approximately $5,500 to the goodwill and therefore in an increase or
decrease of approximately $550 to the annual goodwill amortization.

(D)      Reflects the elimination of the historical minority interest of $3,245
         for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and $1,937 for the year ended
         December 31, 1999 resulting from the minority ownership of Cybear which
         is eliminated as a result of the Reorganization.

(E)      Reflects the amortization of goodwill of $988 for the six months ended
         June 30, 2000 and $1,976 for the year ended December 31, 1999 of
         goodwill totaling $19,759, consisting of $17,059 representing the
         excess of the purchase price of $27,668 offset by historical minority
         interest of $10,609 and Andrx Group's estimated Reorganization
         transaction costs and expenses of $2,700 (see unaudited pro forma
         condensed consolidated balance sheets Notes A and C). Such goodwill is
         amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated life of ten years.

(F)      For the six months ended June 30, 2000, reflects the elimination of
         fees and expenses of $885 incurred by Cybear in connection with the
         Reorganization. As the effect of the costs is non-recurring, it has
         been eliminated in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
         statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

(G)      For the year ended December 31, 1999, reflects the elimination of
         Cybear's historical $2,824 income tax benefit which would not have been
         used by Cybear Group on a separate income tax return basis and would
         have been included in the tax allocation to Andrx Group (Note H)
         pursuant to the Reorganization.

(H)      Represents the Cybear Group income tax benefit allocated to Andrx Group
         pursuant to the Reorganization as follows:

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

Andrx Corporation and subsidiaries ("Andrx" or the "Company") cautions readers
that certain important factors may affect the Company's actual results and could
cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements
which may be deemed to have been made in this report or which are otherwise made
by or on behalf of the Company. For this purpose, any statements contained in
this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "intend",
"could", "would", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative other variations
thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. Factors which may affect Andrx' results include, but are not limited
to, the risks and uncertainties associated with a drug delivery company which
has only commercialized a few products, has new technologies and limited
manufacturing experience, including but not limited to current and potential
competitors with significant technical and marketing resources, and dependence
on key personnel. Andrx is also subject to the risks and uncertainties
associated with all drug delivery companies, including changes in regulatory
schemes, difficulty in receiving regulatory approval to market new products,
compliance with government regulations and patent infringement and other

Introduction

         Andrx was organized in August 1992, and commenced marketing and
distributing bioequivalent pharmaceuticals manufactured by third parties. In
February 1993, Andrx began to engage in the development of bioequivalent
versions of controlled-release pharmaceuticals utilizing its proprietary drug
delivery technologies. During 1996, Andrx commenced its efforts to develop brand
name controlled-released products and an Internet based software application for
healthcare providers. Through October 9, 1997, Andrx' distribution operations
had generated substantially all of its revenues. On October 10, 1997, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") granted final approval of Andrx'
Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") for its bioequivalent version of
Dilacor XR(R), Andrx' first manufactured product, which it immediately launched
as Diltia XT(R).

         In September 1997, Andrx entered into a Stipulation and Agreement
("Stipulation") with Aventis S.A. ("Aventis") of the patent infringement
litigation involving Cardizem(R) CD in order to reduce the risks that both
parties faced as the case was litigated to its conclusion. Andrx agreed to
maintain the status quo in connection with the marketing of its product and to
dismiss certain claims against Aventis. Aventis agreed to compensate Andrx for
its lost profits, which were stipulated to be $100.0 million per year, if Andrx
ultimately prevailed in the litigation and to grant Andrx a license for Aventis'
patents under certain conditions, including if Andrx ultimately lost the
litigation. Aventis also agreed to make non-refundable interim quarterly
payments of $10.0 million to Andrx, beginning upon Andrx' receipt of final FDA
approval for its bioequivalent version of Cardizem(R) CD and continuing until
the litigation was resolved or certain other events occurred. In July 1998, the
FDA granted final marketing approval for Andrx' ANDA for a bioequivalent version
of Cardizem(R) CD. In June 1999, the litigation concerning Cardizem(R) CD was
resolved and on June 23, 1999, Andrx launched its reformulated bioequivalent
version of Cardizem(R) CD, Cartia XT(R) which enjoyed a 180-day period of
marketing exclusivity through December 19, 1999.

         In June 1999, Andrx entered into an agreement with Geneva
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Geneva") a member of the Novartis pharmaceutical group,
for the sale and marketing of specified products. Geneva will fund the
development of controlled-release dosage forms of existing products that Andrx
is developing for submission as New Drug Applications (NDAs). Andrx granted
marketing rights to Geneva in specified territories for certain products
including one of Andrx' NDA products for the United States. Upon approval by the
FDA or other regulatory agencies, Andrx will receive royalties from the sale of
such product. In June 2000 the Company amended its agreement with Geneva to
include, among other things, additional funding of certain controlled-release
dosage forms of existing products that Andrx is developing for submission as
NDAs. Andrx has also committed to continuing to sell Geneva's bioequivalent
products through Anda, Inc. ("Anda"), the Company's distribution subsidiary.

         In 1997, Andrx formed Cybear, its information technology subsidiary,
which uses the Internet to improve the efficiency of administrative and
communications tasks of managing patient care with a secure and reliable
transmission of information. In June 1999, Cybear completed a public offering of
its common shares at $16.00 per share, thereby reducing Andrx' ownership in
Cybear below 80%.

         In September 1999, Andrx commenced a venture to distribute healthcare
products to physician offices on orders placed through the Internet.

         In December 1999, Andrx announced a corporate reorganization plan
which, among other things, would give Andrx shareholders the ability to
distinguish between their investments in Andrx and Cybear. In March 2000, Andrx
and Cybear announced that they entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization (the "Reorganization") with respect to their
previously announced tracking stock reorganization plan. This Reorganization
plan was recommended to the Cybear Board of Directors by its special committee
and approved by the boards of both Cybear and Andrx, and will create two classes
of Andrx common stock, Cybear Group Common Stock, to separately track the
performance of Cybear, and Andrx Group Common Stock to track the performance of
Andrx other than its ownership of Cybear. The Reorganization plan, will be
submitted for approval to the shareholders of Andrx and Cybear on September 5,
2000 at the Andrx annual meeting of shareholders and the Cybear special meeting
of shareholders.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2000 ("2000 Quarter"), as compared to three months
ended June 30, 1999 ("1999 Quarter")

         For the 2000 Quarter, Andrx reported net income of $16.7 million or
$0.25 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $48.9 million or $0.75 per
diluted share for the 1999 Quarter. The 1999 Quarter included the one time
retroactive fee received pursuant to the Stipulation related to the then
resolved patent infringement litigation involving Cartia XT(R).

         Sales from distributed products increased by 19.2% to $78.8 million for
the 2000 Quarter, as compared to $66.1 million for the 1999 Quarter. The
increase in sales from distributed products reflects an increase in sales to
existing customers, an increase in the number of customers, as well as the
distribution of new products launched by other pharmaceutical companies, offset
by overall price declines. The 2000 Quarter also includes sales from Valmed
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Valmed"), which Andrx acquired in March 2000.

         Sales from manufactured products increased by 26.0% to $46.0 million
for the 2000 Quarter, as compared to $36.5 million in the 1999 Quarter. Sales
from manufactured products include sales of Diltia XT(R), the Company's
bioequivalent version of Dilacor XR(R) for the 2000 Quarter and the 1999
Quarter, and Cartia XT(R) commencing June 23, 1999, which enjoyed a 180-day
period of marketing exclusivity through December 19, 1999.

         In the 1999 Quarter, Andrx received $60.7 million in interim and
retroactive fees pursuant to the Stipulation.

         The Company generated $3.8 million of licensing and other revenues in
the 2000 Quarter, as compared to $1.2 million in the 1999 Quarter primarily from
Andrx' domestic and international licensing arrangements. The revenues in the
2000 Quarter were primarily generated from the agreement with Geneva, as
amended.

         Gross profit from sales of distributed and manufactured products was
$51.7 million with a gross margin of 41.5% in the 2000 Quarter, as compared to
$43.0 million, with a gross margin of 41.9% in the 1999 Quarter. The increase in
gross profit is primarily the result of the increase in sales of manufactured
products within the product mix.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $14.3 million or
11.2% of total revenues for the 2000 Quarter, as compared to $16.7 million or
10.2% of total revenues for the 1999 Quarter. Selling, general and
administrative expenses include royalties paid to the Company's Co-Chairman and
Chief Scientific Officer related to interim and retroactive Stipulation fees and
sales of Cartia XT(R).

         Research and development expenses were $10.5 million in the 2000
Quarter, as compared to $6.2 million in the 1999 Quarter. The increase in
research and development expenses of $4.2 million or 67.9% reflects the
continuing progress in and expansion of both the Company's bioequivalent (ANDA)
and brand name (NDA) drug development programs.

         Through Cybear, the Company incurred $5.8 million of Internet operating
expenses in the 2000 Quarter, as compared to $3.9 million in the 1999 Quarter.
The increase in expenses primarily relates to the continuing development of
Internet applications and the establishment and expansion of the operational and
administrative infrastructure of Cybear and also includes approximately $900,000
of non-recurring charges primarily consisting of costs incurred by Cybear to
resolve a dispute over performance under an agreement and termination of such
agreement.


                                       20

         Minority interest was $1.4 million in the 2000 Quarter, as compared to
$763,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The increase in minority interest is a result of
the increase in minority ownership of Cybear, primarily as a result of the
issuance of Cybear common stock in Cybear's June 1999 public offering. In
addition, Cybear's net losses increased in the 2000 Quarter to $5.2 million from
$1.8 million in the 1999 Quarter.

         Interest income was $2.8 million in the 2000 Quarter, as compared to
$537,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The increase in interest income is the result of
the higher average level of cash, cash equivalents and investments
available-for-sale maintained during the 2000 Quarter, as compared to the 1999
Quarter. The increase was primarily the result of the net proceeds of $235.8
million received from Andrx' May 2000 public offering, net proceeds of $50.8
million received from Cybear's June 1999 public offering, and the net cash
provided by operating activities. The Company invests in investment grade
interest bearing securities.

         Interest expense decreased to $221,000 in the 2000 Quarter, as compared
to $483,000 in the 1999 Quarter. The decrease in interest expense was primarily
the result of a lower average level of borrowings under the Company's bank loan
during the 2000 Quarter, as compared to the 1999 Quarter. The borrowings are
primarily utilized to fund the Company's distribution operations.

         For the 2000 Quarter, the Company provided $12.1 million for Federal
and state income taxes or 42% of income before income taxes. The Company
provided for income taxes of $1.4 million in excess of the expected effective
combined Federal and state statutory rate of 37%, primarily due to Andrx'
inability to utilize its portion of Cybear's losses, as Andrx' ownership of
Cybear was reduced below 80% on June 23, 1999. Accordingly, Cybear is excluded
from Andrx' consolidated income tax return and will file as a separate tax
entity. Cybear's net losses did not generate income tax benefits as Cybear's tax
benefits were fully offset by a corresponding increase in the valuation
allowance against its net deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of
realization based on Cybear's history of net losses. For the 1999 Quarter, the
Company provided $30.0 million for Federal and state income taxes or 38% of
income before income taxes, which was the Company's then estimated annual 1999
effective tax rate.

         The diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding was
68.2 million in the 2000 Quarter, as compared to 64.9 million in the 1999
Quarter. Such increase resulted primarily from the Company's May 2000 public
equity offering of 5,185,128 shares. All share and per share amounts reflect the
June 1999 and April 2000 two-for-one stock splits effected in the form of 100%
stock dividends.

Six months ended June 30, 2000 ("2000 Period"), as compared to six months ended
June 30, 1999 ("1999 Period")

         For the 2000 Period, Andrx reported net income of $33.1 million or
$0.49 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $55.8 million or $0.87
per diluted share for the 1999 Period. The 1999 Period includes $70.7 million in
fees received pursuant to the Company's Stipulation with Aventis.

         For the 2000 Period, sales from distributed products increased by 13.6%
to $146.6 million, as compared to $129.1 million for the 1999 Period. The
increase in sales from distributed products reflects an increase in sales to
existing customers, an increase in the number of customers, as well as the
participation in the distribution of new products launched by other
pharmaceutical companies, offset by overall price declines. The 2000 Period also
includes sales from Valmed, which Andrx acquired in March 2000.

         Sales from manufactured products increased by 120.4% to $90.1 million
for the 2000 Period, as compared to $40.9 million for the 1999 Period. Sales
from manufactured products include sales of the Company's bioequivalent version
of Dilacor XR(R), Diltia XT(R) for the 2000 Period and the 1999 Period and
Cartia XT(R) the Company's bioequivalent version of Cardizem(R) CD commencing
June 23, 1999, which enjoyed a 180-day period of marketing exclusivity through
December 19, 1999.

         In the 1999 Period, Andrx received $70.7 million in interim and
retroactive Stipulation fees.

         The Company recorded $7.3 million of licensing and other revenues in
the 2000 Period, as compared to $1.7 million in the 1999 Period.

         Gross profit from sales of distributed and manufactured products was
$100.5 million with a gross margin of 42.4% in the 2000 Period, as compared to
$57.6 million or 33.9% in the 1999 Period. The increase in gross profit is
primarily the result of the increase in sales of manufactured products within
the product mix.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.9 million or
10.6% of total revenues for the 2000 Period, as compared to $26.3 million or
10.9% of total revenues for the 1999 Period. Selling, general and administrative
expenses include royalties paid to the Company's Co-Chairman and Chief
Scientific Officer related to interim and retroactive Stipulation fees and sales
of Cartia XT(R).

         Research and development expenses were $18.7 million in the 2000
Period, as compared to $10.6 million in the 1999 Period. The increase in
research and development expenses of 77.0% reflects the progress in and
expansion of the Company's development activities for its ANDA and NDA drug
development programs.

         In the 2000 Period, through Cybear, the Company incurred $13.0 million
of Internet operating expenses, as compared to $6.7 million in the 1999 Period.
Such increase is primarily the result of progress in applications development
and the establishment and expansion of the related operational and
administrative infrastructure and also includes approximately $2 million of
non-recurring charges primarily consisting of costs incurred by Cybear to
resolve a dispute over performance under an agreement and termination of such
agreement.

         Minority interest was $3.2 million in the 2000 Period, as compared to
$814,000 in the 1999 Period. The increase in minority interest is a result of
the increase in minority ownership of Cybear, primarily as a result of the
issuance of Cybear common stock in Cybear's June 1999 public offering. In
addition, Cybear's net losses increased in the 2000 Period to $11.8 million from
$3.3 million in the 1999 Period.

         In the 1999 Period Andrx recognized a gain of $300,000 on the sale of
Cybear common stock to Cybear's chairman pursuant to an existing subscription
agreement.

         Interest income was $4.3 million in the 2000 Period, as compared to
$903,000 in the 1999 Period. The increase in interest income is the result of
the higher average level of cash, cash equivalents and investments
available-for-sale maintained during the 2000 Period, as compared to the 1999
Period.

         Interest expense increased to $695,000 in the 2000 Period, as compared
to $637,000 in the 1999 Period. The increase in interest expense was primarily
the result of a higher average level of borrowings under the Company's bank loan
during the 2000 Period, as compared to the 1999 Period.

         In the 2000 Period, the Company provided $24.0 million for Federal and
state income taxes or 42% of income before taxes. In the 1999 Period, the
Company provided $32.0 million for Federal and state income taxes or 36% of
income before taxes.

         The diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding was
67.0 million in the 2000 Period, as compared to 64.5 million in the 1999 Period.
The increase in such diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
in the 2000 Period, as compared to the 1999 Period resulted primarily from the
May 2000 Andrx public equity offering. All share and per share amounts reflect
the June 1999 and April 2000 two-for-one stock splits effected in the form of
100% stock dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         As of June 30, 2000, Andrx had $347.1 million in cash, cash equivalents

$436.5 million of consolidated working capital.

         Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.2 million in the 2000
Period, as compared to $27.8 million in the 1999 Period. The 2000 Period

the 1999 Period, the Company invested $24.2 million and $10.0 million,
respectively, in property, plant and equipment. In the 2000 Period and the 1999
Period the Company purchased $81.9 million and $36.5 million, respectively, of
investments available-for-sale. In the 2000 Period the Company acquired Valmed
Pharmaceutical, Inc. for $15.2 million including transaction costs, net of cash
acquired.

         Net cash provided by financing activities was $231.8 million in the
2000 Period, as compared to $84.0 million in the 1999 Period. Net cash provided
by financing activities in the 2000 Period consisted primarily of $235.8 million
in net proceeds from Andrx' May 2000 public offering, $4.2 million in proceeds

$11.7 million of income tax benefits relating to the exercises of stock options,
offset by $20.2 million of repayments on net borrowings under the Company's bank
loan. Net cash provided by financing activities for the 1999 Period consisted of
$5.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock upon the
exercises of stock options and warrants, $3.6 million of income tax benefits

manufacturing, distribution and corporate facilities, including the related
equipment purchases. The Company anticipates that for the year ending December
31, 2000 it will incur up to approximately $50 million in research and
