INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

Investment Committee
Retirement Plan of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Affiliates

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
the Retirement Plan of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Affiliates ("the Plan")
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of changes in assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Investment Committee for the Retirement Plan of Schein
Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Affiliates. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the
Investment Committee, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Retirement Plan
of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc and Affiliates at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied to the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN        The following description of the Retirement Plan
                              of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Affiliates
                              ("the Plan") provides only general information,
                              Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
                              for a more complete description of the Plan's
                              provisions.

                              The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to
                              the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
                              Security Act of 1974. Eligible employees are those
                              employees of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. and its'
                              affiliates ("Schein Pharmaceutical" or the "Plan
                              Sponsor").

                              Participants' contributions, from 1% to 14% of
                              salary, and the employers' matching contribution
                              of 50% of the participants' contributions (up to
                              6% of the participants' contributions) in 1999 and
                              25% of the participants' contributions (up to 3%
                              of the participants' contributions) in 1998, are
                              fully vested when made. The Plan also provides for
                              a discretionary employer contribution which
                              becomes 100% vested upon completion of 5 years of
                              continuous service and provides for retirement,
                              termination, death and disability benefits.

                              The amount of forfeitures arising under this Plan
                              are first allocated to pay the expenses of the
                              Plan. The balance, if any, is then allocated to
                              the accounts of participants entitled to
                              restoration of their interests in the Plan. The
                              remaining balance, if any, is then allocated to
                              the employer contribution account of each
                              participant.

                              Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may
                              direct employer and employee contributions in any
                              of the following investment options. Participants

                              informed the Plan Sponsor, by letter dated on June
                              29,1995, that the Plan and related trust are
                              designed and operate in accordance with applicable
                              sections of the Internal Revenue Code. Earnings of
                              the Plan are therefore exempt from income taxes.

                              The Plan may be terminated, or contributions may
                              be discontinued, by the Plan Sponsor at any time.
                              Upon termination, or discontinuance of
                              contributions, the amounts credited to
                              participants shall become fully vested.

                              Plan investments are maintained by American
                              Express Trust Company ("American Express") who
                              also serves as the Plan's trustee.

2.  SUMMARY OF                BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ACCOUNTING
    POLICIES                  The financial statements are prepared on the
                              accrual basis of accounting.

                              INVESTMENTS

                              Investments are stated at fair value which is
                              determined using quoted market prices. Gains and
                              losses on investment transactions are recognized
                              when realized based on trade dates. Unrealized
                              gains and losses are based on the difference
                              between the beginning of year fair value, or
                              historical cost if purchased during the current
                              year, and the year-end fair value. Realized and
                              unrealized gains and losses have been included in
                              net appreciation in fair value of investments.
                              Assets held for investment, by Fund, are
                              separately disclosed in Note 5.

                              USE OF ESTIMATES

                              The preparation of financial statements in
                              conformity with generally accepted accounting
                              principles requires the Plan Sponsor 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.

3.  PLAN EXPENSES             Certain administrative expenses are charged to the
                              Plan Sponsor by American Express (and are
                              substantially offset by forfeitures from the Plan,
                              itself). In addition, Schein also incurs certain
                              personnel and administrative costs in the course
                              of servicing the Plan and its' participants.


                                                                          Page 8

                              by Watson Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Watson") under
                              which Watson will acquire all the outstanding
                              stock of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc through a
                              two-step transaction comprised of a cash tender
                              followed by a taxable stock exchange. The tender
                              offer, which is subject to customary closing
                              conditions, is expected to close in early July
                              2000 with the merger expected to close in
                              September 2000.

                              If and when the acquisition is consummated, the
                              Plan Sponsor believes that this Plan will be
                              terminated and, following the receipt of a
                              favorable determination letter from the Internal
                              Revenue Service, Watson shall permit employees to
                              elect to rollover their respective amounts to a
                              retirement plan maintained by Watson.


                                                                         Page 10
