                                    PART III
                                    NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attached extra sheets if needed.)

Since fiscal year end, Schein Pharmaceutical's (the "Company") management has
been devoting substantial efforts to several significant corporate matters.
These matters, which have been previously announced, include:

      1)    Management's re-evaluation of, and decision to restructure, the
            Company's sterile manufacturing operations as a result of the FDA
            Consent Agreement affecting the Company's Steris Laboratories, Inc.
            facility and the suspension of manufacturing at its Marsam
            Pharmaceuticals Inc. facility;

      2)    In connection with such restructuring, the Company's reduction of
            16% of its workforce on February 9, 2000, which affected employees
            at four facilities, including administration, finance and human
            resources staff;

      3)    The Company is currently negotiating to extend or refinance its
            credit facility, and many of the same employees involved in that
            effort would be involved in preparation of the Company's Form 10-K;

      4)    The Company's retention of financial advisors to explore strategic
            alternatives to enhance the value of its business, including the
            possible sale of the Company.

As a result of these efforts, the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 25, 1999, cannot be filed within the prescribed time period without
unreasonable efforts or expense.

                                     PART IV
                                OTHER INFORMATION

      Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company
      Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that
      the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer
      is no, identify report(s).

                                                                 |X|  Yes |_| No

(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
      from the corresponding period for that last fiscal year will be reflected
      by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
      thereof?

                                                                 |X|  Yes |_| No

      If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
      and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
      reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
