  C. Discontinuance of Fluogen(R) product

     On September 27, 2000, the Company received written notification from the
United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") that it must cease
manufacturing and distributing Fluogen(R), an influenza vaccine, until the
Company demonstrated compliance with related FDA regulations. In addition, the
notification recommended that the Company properly dispose of Fluogen(R)
inventory on hand. As a result of this notification, the Company decided to
permanently discontinue Fluogen(R) production and distribution. This
restructuring plan resulted in the elimination of approximately 160 employees of
which approximately 110 were hourly and 50 were salaried. As a result of these
events, the Company recorded extraordinary losses on disposed and impaired
assets of $43.7 million, before tax benefit of $16.4 million, and a nonrecurring
charge of

  D. Discontinuance of Pallacor(TM) Research and Development Efforts

     In September 2000 management decided to discontinue the research and
development efforts relating to Pallacor(TM) due to its inability to out-license
rights to the product and its assessment of the significance of projected
research and development costs relative to the likelihood of the project's
success resulting in a nonrecurring research and development charge of $6.1
million. At December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001 the Company has $4.7 million and
$1.6 million, respectively, accrued for all estimated remaining contractual
commitments associated with Pallacor(TM).

6.  CONTINGENCIES

  Fen/Phen Litigation

     Many distributors, marketers and manufacturers of anorexigenic drugs have
been subject to claims relating to the use of these drugs. Generally, the
lawsuits allege that the defendants (1) misled users of the products with
respect to the dangers associated with them, (2) failed to adequately test the
products and (3) knew or should have known about the negative effects of the
drugs, and should have informed the public about the risks of such negative
effects. The actions generally have been brought by individuals in their own
right and have been filed in various state and federal jurisdictions throughout
the United States. They seek, among other things, compensatory and punitive
damages and/or court supervised medical monitoring of persons who have ingested
the product. The Company is one of many defendants in more than 32 lawsuits
which claim damages for personal injury arising from the Company's production of
the anorexigenic drug, phentermine, under contract for GlaxoSmithKline. The
Company expects to be named in additional lawsuits related to the Company's
production of the anorexigenic drug under contract for GlaxoSmithKline.

     While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these suits, the Company
believes that the claims against it are without merit and intends to vigorously
pursue all defenses available to it. The Company is being indemnified in all of
these suits by GlaxoSmithKline for which it manufactured the anorexigenic
product, provided that neither the lawsuits nor the associated liabilities are
based upon the independent negligence or intentional acts of the Company, and
intends to submit a claim for all unreimbursed costs to its product liability
insurance carrier. However, in the event that GlaxoSmithKline is unable to
satisfy or fulfill its obligations under the indemnity, the Company would have
to defend the lawsuit and be responsible for damages, if any, which are awarded
against it or for amounts in excess of the Company's product liability coverage.
A reasonable estimate of possible losses related to these suits cannot be made.

     In addition, Jones, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is a defendant
in more than 1,800 multi-defendant lawsuits involving the manufacture and sale
of dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and phentermine. These suits have been filed in
various jurisdictions throughout the United States, and in each of these suits,

                                        8

                           KING PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Jones is one of many defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors
of these drugs. Although Jones has not at any time manufactured dexfenfluramine,
fenfluramine, or phentermine, Jones was a distributor of a generic phentermine
product, and, after the acquisition of Abana Pharmaceuticals, was a distributor
of Obenix, its branded phentermine product. The plaintiffs in these cases claim
injury as a result of ingesting a combination of these weight-loss drugs and are
seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as medical care and court
supervised medical monitoring. The plaintiffs claim liability based on a variety
of theories including but not limited to, product liability, strict liability,
negligence, breach of warranty, and misrepresentation.

     Jones denies any liability incident to the distribution of Obenix or its
generic phentermine product and intends to pursue all defenses available to it.
Jones has tendered defense of these lawsuits to its insurance carriers for
handling and they are currently defending Jones in these suits. The
manufacturers of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine have settled many of these
cases. In the event that Jones' insurance coverage is inadequate to satisfy any
resulting liability, Jones will have to resume defense of these lawsuits and be
responsible for the damages, if any, that are awarded against it.

     While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these suits, management
believes that the claims against Jones are without merit and intends to
vigorously pursue all defenses available. The Company is unable to disclose an
aggregate dollar amount of damages claimed. Many of these complaints are
multi-party suits and do not state specific damage amounts. Rather, these claims
typically state damages as may be determined by the court or similar language
and state no specific amount of damages against Jones. The Company, at this
time, cannot provide an aggregate dollar amount of damages claimed or a
reasonable estimate of possible losses related to the lawsuits.

  State of Wisconsin Investment Board

     On November 30, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement of merger with
Medco Research, Inc. ("Medco") pursuant to which the Company acquired Medco in
an all stock, tax-free pooling of interests transaction (Note 5), which was
subject to approval by the Medco shareholders. On January 5, 2000, Medco issued
to its stockholders a proxy statement with respect to the proposed transaction
and noticed a meeting to approve the transaction for February 10, 2000.

     On January 11, 2000, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board, ("SWIB"), a
Medco shareholder which held approximately 11.6% of the outstanding stock of
Medco, filed suit on behalf of a proposed class of Medco shareholders in the
Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware, New Castle County, against Medco
and members of Medco's board of directors to enjoin the shareholder vote on the
merger and the consummation of the merger. State of Wisconsin Investment Board
v. Bartlett, et al., C.A. No. 17727. SWIB alleged, among other things, that the
proxy materials filed by Medco failed to disclose all material information and
included misleading statements regarding the transaction, its negotiation, and
its approval by the Medco board of directors; that the Medco directors were not
adequately informed and did not adequately inform themselves of all reasonably
available information before recommending the transaction to Medco shareholders;
and that the Medco directors were disloyal and committed waste in allegedly
enabling one of the Medco directors to negotiate the transaction purportedly for
his own benefit and in agreeing to terms that precluded what the complaint
alleged were more beneficial alternative transactions. SWIB also moved for a
preliminary injunction to enjoin the shareholder vote and the merger based on
the claims asserted in its complaint. Medco and the other defendants denied all
allegations and continue to deny them.

     After Medco distributed a supplemental proxy statement on January 31, 2000
and the court postponed the February 10, 2000 vote on the merger agreement for
15 days to allow shareholders sufficient time to consider the supplemental
disclosures, the court rejected SWIB's claims in a February 24, 2000 Memorandum
Opinion and denied preliminary injunctive relief because SWIB had not shown a
reasonable likelihood of success following trial on the merits. The court made a
number of preliminary findings, including that the

                           KING PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Medco board of directors properly delegated to one of its directors the
responsibility to negotiate the merger; that the payment of the negotiating fee
was a proper exercise of business judgment and did not constitute waste; that
the other merger provisions were also valid; that the Medco directors were
adequately informed of all material information reasonably available to them
prior to approving the merger agreement; that the Medco directors acted
independently and in good faith to benefit the economic interests of the Medco
shareholders; that the alleged omissions in the proxy statements were not
material; and that the Medco board of directors fully met its duty of complete
disclosure with respect to the transaction.

     SWIB has filed an Application for a Scheduling Order stating its intention
to dismiss the case, before a class has been certified, without prejudice. In
the meantime, the action is still pending. While SWIB has indicated that it does
not intend to prosecute the merits of the case further, another shareholder
could intervene and continue the action. Even though SWIB lost its motion for
preliminary injunction, and is going to dismiss the case, SWIB has claimed that
its attorneys are entitled to an award of attorney's fees and costs. SWIB has
petitioned the court for approximately $7.26 million in attorney's fees and
approximately $270,000 in costs.

     A hearing on SWIB's petition to dismiss and for attorney's fees and costs
was held on June 26, 2000 in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware. No
ruling has yet been issued.

     The Company believes that SWIB's case, including SWIB's claim for
significant attorney's fees which includes fees based on a formula related to an
alleged benefit conferred on Medco shareholders, is meritless, and the Company
is vigorously contesting it. The Company believes SWIB's actions did not confer
a benefit on the Medco shareholders. The Company also believes it is unlikely
that another shareholder will intervene to continue the action, but if that
results then the Company will vigorously contest it.

  Other

     The Parkedale Facility was one of six facilities owned by Pfizer subject to
a Consent Decree of Permanent Injunction issued August 1993 in United States of
America v. Warner-Lambert Company and Melvin R. Goodes and Lodewijk J.R. DeVink
(U.S. Dist. Ct., Dist. of N.J.) (the "Consent Decree"). The Parkedale Facility
is currently manufacturing pharmaceutical products subject to the Consent Decree
which prohibits the manufacture and delivery of specified drug products unless,
among other things, the products conform to current good manufacturing practices
and are produced in accordance with an approved abbreviated new drug application
or new drug application. The Company intends, when appropriate, to petition for
relief from the Consent Decree.

     The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incident to
the ordinary course of its business.

  Summary

     Management believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in
the aggregate will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

8.  SEGMENT REPORTING

     The Company's business is classified into three reportable segments;
Branded Pharmaceuticals, Contract Manufacturing, and Licensed Products. Branded
Pharmaceuticals include a variety of branded prescription products over four
therapeutic areas, including cardiovascular, anti-infective, critical care and
women's health/endocrinology. Contract Manufacturing represents contract
manufacturing services provided for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Licensed products represent products for which the Company has transferred the
manufacturing and marketing rights to corporate partners in exchange for royalty
payments on product sales. The classification "all other" primarily includes
generic pharmaceutical products and development services.

     The Company primarily evaluates its segments based on gross profit.
Reportable segments were separately identified based on revenues, gross profit
and total assets.

9.  CO-PROMOTION AGREEMENT WITH AHP

     On June 22, 2000, the Company entered into a co-promotion agreement with
American Home Products Corporation ("AHP") to promote Altace(R) in the United
States and Puerto Rico through October 29, 2008. Under the agreement, AHP and
the Company have agreed to share various marketing expenses related to the
promotion of Altace(R). The Company's share of these expenses are included in
the caption "Co-promotion marketing expense" in the accompanying financial
statements. In addition, AHP paid an up front fee of $75.0 million to King which
was classified as other liabilities and is being amortized over the life of the
agreement. The amortization is included as a reduction of Co-promotion marketing
expense in the accompanying financial statements.

     In connection with the co-promotion agreement with AHP, the Company has
agreed to pay AHP a promotional fee as follows:

     - For 2001 and 2002, 20% of net sales up to $165 million, 50% of net sales
       from $165 million to $465 million and 52.5% of net sales in excess of
       $465 million.

     - For years subsequent to 2002 through 2008 the fee is based on the same
       formula, except the fee for the first $165 million will be 15% of net
       sales.

                           KING PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The co-promotion fee is being accrued quarterly based on a percentage of
net sales at a rate equal to the expected relationship of the expected
co-promotion fee for the year to applicable expected net sales for the year.

10.  STOCK SPLIT

     On June 20, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors declared a four for
three stock split for shareholders of record as of July 3, 2001, to be
distributed July 19, 2001. The stock split has been reflected in all share data
contained in these consolidated financial statements.

11.  OTHER SECOND QUARTER TRANSACTIONS

     In the second quarter of 2001, the Company paid $3.0 million to Novavax,
Inc. for the license rights to promote, market and distribute Estrasorb(TM) and
Androsorb(TM) in certain countries. Such amount was expensed rather than
capitalized because these products have not yet received FDA approval.

     In the second quarter, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $4.0
million on its primary derivative, a $20.0 million convertible senior note from
Novavax, Inc., which has been recognized as other income in the accompanying
financial statements.

12.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS
No. 141 requires all business combinations to be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is effective for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all business combinations
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for which the date of
acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 modifies the accounting and
reporting for acquired intangible assets at the time of acquisition and in
subsequent periods. Intangible assets which have finite lives must be amortized
over their estimated useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives will
not be amortized, but evaluated annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is in
the process of reviewing the impact of this pronouncement on previous
acquisitions.

13.  GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries Monarch Pharmaceuticals, Inc., King
Pharmaceuticals Research and Development, Inc., Parkedale Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
Jones Pharma Incorporated and King Pharmaceuticals of Nevada, Inc. (the
"Guarantor Subsidiaries") have guaranteed the Company's performance under the
$150,000, 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 on a joint and several
basis. There are no restrictions under the Company's financing arrangements on
the ability of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to distribute funds to the Company in
the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The following combined financial
data provides information regarding the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows of the Guarantor Subsidiaries (condensed consolidating
financial data). Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning
the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined
that such information would not be material to the holders of the notes.

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On August 8, 2001, the Company acquired three branded pharmaceutical
products and a fully paid license to a fourth product from Bristol-Myers Squibb
("BMS") for $285.0 million. The products acquired include BMS's rights in the
United States to Corzide(R), Delestrogen(R), and Florinef(R). King acquired also
a fully paid license to and trademark for Corgard(R) in the United States. The
acquisition was financed with a combination of borrowings under its senior
secured credit facility and cash on hand.

     On July 3, 2001, the Company filed a $1.5 billion universal shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
covering the issuance and sale, from time to time over an extended period, of
debt and/or equity securities. The Company may sell any combination of such debt
and/or equity securities in one or more offerings up to a total of $1.3 billion
and certain of the Company's executive officers may sell shares of common stock
from time to time in an amount up to $200 million. The Company will not receive
any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of the selling shareholders. The
shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
is not yet effective.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

  Revenues

     Net revenues increased $63.1 million, or 44.0%, to $206.5 million in 2001
from $143.4 million in 2000, due primarily to the acquisition and growth of
branded pharmaceutical products.

     Net sales from branded pharmaceutical products increased $71.1 million, or
61.5%, to $186.7 million in 2001 from $115.6 million in 2000. This increase was
due primarily to growth in net sales of Altace(R), Levoxyl(R), and
Thrombin-JMI(R) and net sales attributable to Nordette(R) and Bicillin(R) which
were acquired from American Home Products in June 2000. While we expect
continued growth in net sales of our branded pharmaceuticals in the future, we
refer you to the "Risk Factors" that appear below, particularly those related to
Altace(R), Levoxyl(R), and Thrombin-JMI(R), that could cause results to differ.

     Revenues from licensed products increased $2.9 million, or 28.7%, to $13.0
million in 2001 from $10.1 million in 2000 primarily due to an increase in the
net sales of Adenoscan(R) and Adenocard(R), on which we receive royalty
revenues. The increase in revenues from licensed products was affected by a
contractual reduction in the percentage royalty we receive on net sales of
Adenoscan(R) that became effective during the third quarter of 2000.

     Revenues from contract manufacturing and other decreased $10.9 million, or
61.6%, to $6.8 million in 2001 from $17.7 million in 2000, primarily due to (1)
the conclusion of two manufacturing and supply agreements during the fourth
quarter of 2000; (2) reduced revenues derived under a third manufacturing and
supply agreement during the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the second
quarter of 2000; and (3) reduced sales of generic private label neomycin and
polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone suspension and solution. While contract
manufacturing and generic pharmaceutical sales remain a part of our business, we
do not consider contract manufacturing and generic pharmaceutical sales as
significant components of our growth strategy.

                                        18

  Operating Costs and Expenses

     Total operating costs and expenses increased $35.3 million, or 41.3%, to
$120.7 million in 2001 from $85.4 million in 2000. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in cost of revenues of $6.7 million in 2001 and $25.3 million
in co-promotion fees and marketing expense in 2001 related to the co-promotion
agreement with American Home Products for the promotion of Altace(R) in the
United States and Puerto Rico, offset by $1.5 million of merger, restructuring
and other nonrecurring charges related to merger charges recognized during the
second quarter of 2000.

     Cost of revenues increased $6.7 million, or 17.8% to $44.3 million in 2001
from $37.6 million in 2000. The increase resulted from cost of revenues
associated with the increase in net sales of branded pharmaceutical products
described above. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to
21.5% in 2001 from 26.2% in 2000 due to the increase in sales of higher margin
products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at
$30.1 million in 2001 as compared to $30.8 million in 2000. As a percentage of
revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 14.6% in
2001 from 21.5% in 2000 due to increased revenues, realization of cost synergies
from the Medco and Jones mergers, and the classification of all Altace(R)
related marketing expenses as co-promotion marketing expense rather than
selling, general and administrative during the three months ended June 30, 2001.

     During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred $20.4
million in co-promotion fees and $4.9 million in co-promotion marketing expense
pursuant to the June 2000 co-promotion agreement with American Home Products for
the promotion of Altace(R) in the United States and Puerto Rico.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.9 million, or 20.0%, to
$11.4 million in 2001 from $9.5 million in 2000. The increase was due primarily
to additional amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of
Nordette(R), Bicillin(R), and Wycillin(R) in July 2000.

     Research and development expense increased to $6.5 million in 2001 from
$6.0 million in 2000.

     In June of 2001, we incurred $3.0 million of "research and
development -- special license rights" for fees we paid Novavax, Inc. as
consideration for an agreement which (1) expands our exclusive license to
promote, market, distribute and sell Estrasorb(TM) worldwide, following
approval, except in the United States and Puerto Rico where the parties will
co-market the product; and (2) grants us an additional exclusive worldwide
license to promote, market and distribute Androsorb(TM), following approval,
except in the United States and Puerto Rico where the parties will co-market the
product.

  Operating Income

     Operating income increased $27.8 million, or 47.9%, to $85.8 million in
2001 from $58.0 million in 2000. This increase was due primarily to the increase
in branded pharmaceutical sales during the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000.

  Other Income (Expense)

     Interest income equaled $3.1 million in 2001 compared to $3.0 million in
2000.

     Interest expense decreased $7.4 million, or 73.3%, to $2.7 million in 2001
from $10.1 million in 2000. This decrease is due to the reduced average debt
balance in 2001 resulting from our prepayment of debt obligations during 2000.

     Other income increased $4.5 million to $4.5 million in 2001, from $12
thousand in 2000, primarily due to an unrealized gain of approximately $4.0
million on our primary derivative, a $20 million convertible senior note from
Novavax.

  Income Tax Expense

     The effective tax rate in 2001 of 37.3% and 2000 of 38.9% was higher than
the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes.

  Extraordinary Item

     During the second quarter of 2000, we repaid outstanding debt under our
senior credit facility prior to maturity. The early repayment caused us to
recognize in the second quarter of 2000 an extraordinary loss of $4.7 million,
net of related tax benefits of $2.8 million, from the write-off of related
deferred financing costs.

  Net Income

     Due to the factors set forth above, net income increased $30.4 million, or
115.2%, to $56.8 million in 2001 from $26.4 million in 2000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000

  Revenues

     Net revenues increased $109.2 million, or 39.2%, to $387.8 million in 2001
from $278.6 million in 2000, due primarily to the acquisition and growth of
branded pharmaceutical products.

     Net sales from branded pharmaceutical products increased $118.5 million, or
51.7%, to $347.9 million in 2001 from $229.4 million in 2000. This increase was
due primarily to growth in net sales of Altace(R), Levoxyl(R), and
Thrombin-JMI(R) and net sales attributable to Nordette(R) and Bicillin(R) which
were acquired from American Home Products in June 2000. While we expect
continued growth in net sales of our branded pharmaceuticals in the future, we
refer you to the "Risk Factors" that appear below, particularly those related to
Altace(R), Levoxyl(R), and Thrombin-JMI(R), that could cause results to differ.

     Revenues from licensed products increased $1.5 million, or 6.6%, to $24.4
million in 2001 from $22.9 million in 2000, primarily due to an increase in the
net sales of Adenoscan(R) and Adenocard(R), on which we receive royalty
revenues. The increase in revenues from licensed products was affected by a
contractual reduction in the percentage royalty we receive on net sales of
Adenoscan(R) that became effective during the third quarter of 2000.

     Revenues from contract manufacturing and other decreased $10.8 million, or
41.1%, to $15.5 million in 2001 from $26.3 million in 2000, primarily due to (1)
the conclusion of two manufacturing and supply agreements during the fourth
quarter of 2000; (2) reduced revenues derived under a third manufacturing and
supply agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to the
same period of the prior year; and (3) reduced sales of generic private label
neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates and hydrocortisone suspension and solution.
While contract manufacturing and generic pharmaceutical sales remain a part of
our business, we do not consider contract manufacturing and generic
pharmaceutical sales as significant components of our growth strategy.

  Operating Costs and Expenses

     Total operating costs and expenses increased $46.1 million, or 25.2%, to
$228.8 million in 2001 from $182.7 million in 2000. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in cost of revenues of $13.8 million in 2001 and $48.3
million in co-promotion fees and marketing expense in 2001 related to the
co-promotion agreement with American Home Products for the promotion of
Altace(R) in the United States and Puerto Rico, offset by $22.3 million of
merger related expenses in 2000.

     Cost of revenues increased $13.8 million, or 20.3% to $81.8 million in 2001
from $68.0 million in 2000. The increase resulted from cost of revenues
associated with the increase in net sales of branded pharmaceutical products
described above. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to
21.1% in 2001 from 24.4% in 2000 due to the increase in sales of higher margin
products.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at
$62.4 million in 2001 as compared to $64.0 million in 2000. As a percentage of
revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to 16.1% in
2001 from 23.0% in 2000 due to increased revenues and the classification of all
Altace(R) related marketing expenses as co-promotion marketing expense rather
than selling, general and administrative during the six months ended June 30,
2001, and realization of cost synergies from the Medco and Jones mergers in
2000.

                                        20
<PAGE>   22

     During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred $37.8
million in co-promotion fees and $10.5 million in co-promotion marketing expense
pursuant to the June 2000 co-promotion agreement with American Home Products for
the promotion of Altace(R) in the United States and Puerto Rico.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.0 million, or 21.3%, to
$22.8 million in 2001 from $18.8 million in 2000. The increase was due primarily
to additional amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of
Nordette(R), Bicillin(R), and Wycillin(R) in July 2000.

     Research and development expense increased to $10.5 million in 2001 from
$9.7 million in 2000.

     In June of 2001, we incurred $3.0 million of "research and
development -- special license rights" for fees we paid Novavax as consideration
for an agreement which (1) expands our exclusive license to promote, market,
distribute and sell Estrasorb(TM) worldwide, following approval, except in the
United States and Puerto Rico where the parties will co-market the product; and
(2) grants us an additional exclusive worldwide license to promote, market and
distribute Androsorb(TM), following approval, except in the United States and
Puerto Rico where the parties will co-market the product.

  Operating Income

     Operating income increased $63.2 million, or 65.9%, to $159.1 million in
2001 from $95.9 million in 2000. This increase was due primarily to the increase
in branded pharmaceutical sales during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000 as well as $22.3 million of
merger, restructuring and other non-recurring charges related primarily to the
Medco merger in 2000.

  Other Income (Expense)

     Interest income decreased $1.4 million from $7.0 million in 2000 to $5.6
million in 2001 due to lower balances of invested cash and cash equivalents
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2000.

     Interest expense decreased $18.6 million, or 76.9%, to $5.6 million in 2001
from $24.2 million in 2000. This decrease is due to the reduced average debt
balance in 2001 resulting from the Company's prepayment of debt obligations
during 2000.

     Other income/expense increased from $0.1 million expense in 2000 to $2.9
million income in 2001 primarily due to unrealized gains on our derivatives.

  Income Tax Expense

     The effective tax rate in 2000 of 48.0% was reduced to 37.3% in 2001 due
primarily to nondeductible merger, restructuring and other non-recurring charges
related to the Medco merger in 2000.

  Extraordinary Item

     During the second quarter of 2000, we repaid outstanding debt under our
senior credit facility prior to maturity. The early repayment caused us to
recognize an extraordinary loss of $4.7 million, net of related tax benefits of
$2.8 million, from the write-off of related deferred financing costs.

  Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

     The Company recognized an expense of $0.5 million, net of income taxes of
$0.3 million, in 2001 due to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS No. 138,
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities.

                                        21
<PAGE>   23

  Net Income

     Due to the factors set forth above, net income increased $64.8 million, or
179.0%, to $101.0 million in 2001 from $36.2 million in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  General

     We believe that existing credit facilities and cash generated from
operations are sufficient to finance our current operations and working capital
requirements. However, in the event we make significant future acquisitions or
change our capital structure, we may be required to raise funds through
additional borrowings or the issuance of additional debt or equity securities.

     On August 8, 2001, we acquired three branded pharmaceutical products and a
fully-paid license to a fourth product from Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS") for
$285.0 million. The products acquired include BMS's rights in the United States
to Corzide(R), Delestrogen(R), and Florinef(R). We also acquired a fully paid
license to and trademark for Corgard(R) in the United States. The acquisition
was financed with a combination of borrowings under our senior secured credit
facility and cash on hand.

     At present, we are actively pursuing additional acquisitions that may
require the use of substantial capital resources.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

     As of June 30, 2001 we had available up to $100.0 million under a revolving
line of credit.

     We generated net cash from operations of $174.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2001. Our net cash provided from operations was primarily the
result of $101.0 million in net income, adjusted for non-cash depreciation and
amortization of $22.8 million, an adjustment to deferred income taxes of $10.0
million, a change in income taxes payable of $24.5 million, and an increase in
accrued expenses of $23.7 million. Additionally, we decreased accounts
receivable by $13.9 million and prepaid expenses and other current assets by
$3.0 million. An increase in inventory of $14.9 million, a decrease in accounts
payable of $4.1 million, amortization of deferred revenue of $4.5 million, and
an unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $2.8 million offset the items
previously described.

     Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2001 was $14.4 million due to $14.2 million of capital expenditures, and $5.0
million of loans receivable offset by $3.3 million received as proceeds from the
sale of product rights and $1.4 million received as proceeds from the sale of
assets.

     Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 provided $17.9
million comprised principally of $18.3 million from the exercise of employee
stock options.

     As of August 10, 2001, cash and cash equivalents total approximately $69.8
million and we have available up to $25.0 million under a revolving line of
credit.

  Certain Indebtedness and Other Matters

     As of August 10, 2001, we have $175.2 million of long-term debt (including
current portion) and we have available up to $25.0 million under our revolving
credit facility. Our financing arrangements require us to maintain minimum net
worth, debt to equity, cash flow and current ratio requirements. As of June 30,
2001, we were in compliance with these covenants.

     On June 20, 2001, the board of directors declared a four for three stock
split for shareholders of record as of July 3, 2001, to be distributed July 19,
2001. The stock split has been reflected in all share data contained in this
Form 10-Q.

     On July 3, 2001, we filed a $1.5 billion universal shelf registration
statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the
issuance and sale, from time to time over an extended

                                        22
<PAGE>   24

period, of debt and/or equity securities. We may sell any combination of such
debt and/or equity securities in one or more offerings up to a total of $1.3
billion and certain of our executive officers may sell shares of common stock
from time to time in an amount up to $200 million. We will not receive any of
the proceeds from the sale of shares of the selling shareholders. The shelf
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is not
yet effective.

  Capital Expenditures

     Capital expenditures, including capital lease obligations, were $7.1
million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and $14.2 million and $9.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The principal capital expenditures included
property and equipment purchases and building improvements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     We have experienced only moderate raw material and labor price increases in
recent years. While we have passed some price increases along to our customers,
we have primarily benefited from rapid sales growth negating most inflationary
pressures.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations to be
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is effective
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all
business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting for
which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later.

     In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 modifies the accounting and
reporting for acquired intangible assets at the time of acquisition and in
subsequent periods. Intangible assets which have finite lives must be amortized
over their estimated useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives will
not be amortized, but evaluated annually for impairment. SFAS No. 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. We are in the
process of reviewing the impact of this pronouncement on previous acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS

     The risks described below are not the only ones facing our company.
Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also impair our business operations. If any of the adverse events described
in this "Risk Factors" section actually occurs, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, the
trading price, if any, of our securities could decline and you might lose all or
part of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

IF SALES OF OUR MAJOR PRODUCTS OR ROYALTY PAYMENTS TO US DECREASE, OUR RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

     Altace(R) accounted for approximately 32% of our net sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, and Altace(R), Lorabid(R), Levoxyl(R),
Thrombin-JMI(R), and royalty revenues collectively accounted for approximately
61% of our net sales during the same period. We believe that sales of these
products will continue to constitute a significant portion of our total revenues
for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, any factor adversely affecting sales of
any of these products or products for which we receive royalty payments could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.

                                        23

WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE OUR INTENDED BENEFITS FROM THE MARKETING ALLIANCE WITH
AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS CORPORATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF ALTACE(R).

     We entered into a marketing alliance with American Home Products
Corporation for Altace(R). We call this marketing alliance the "Co-Promotion
Agreement." We entered into this alliance partially because we believed a larger
pharmaceutical company with more sales representatives and, in our opinion, with
substantial experience in the promotion of pharmaceutical products to physicians
would significantly increase the sales revenue potential of Altace(R). By
efficiently co-marketing the new indications for Altace(R) which were approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which we refer to as the "FDA," on
October 4, 2000, we intend to increase the demand for the product. In the
agreement, both of us have incentives to maximize the sales and profits of
Altace(R) and to optimize the marketing of the product by coordinating our
promotional activities.

     Under the Co-Promotion Agreement, American Home Products and we agreed to
establish an annual budget of marketing expenses to cover, among other things,
direct-to-consumer advertising, such as television advertisements and
advertisements in popular magazines and professional journals. One of the goals
of the direct-to-consumer advertising campaign is to encourage the targeted
audience to ask their own physicians about Altace(R) and whether it might be of
benefit for them. The direct-to-consumer campaign may not be effective in
achieving this goal. Furthermore, the direct-to-consumer advertising campaign
has not yet begun and the date for its launch is yet to be determined.
Physicians may not prescribe Altace(R) for their patients to the extent we might
otherwise hope if patients for whom Altace(R) is indicated do not ask their
physicians about Altace(R).

     It is possible that we or American Home Products or both of us will not be
successful in effectively promoting Altace(R) or in optimizing its sales. The
content of agreed-upon promotional messages for Altace(R) may not sufficiently
convey the merits of Altace(R) and may not be successful in convincing
physicians to prescribe Altace(R) instead of other angiotensin converting
enzyme, or "ACE," inhibitors or competing therapies. The targets for sales force
staffing, the number and frequency of details to physicians and the physicians
who are called upon may be inadequate to realize our expectations for the
revenues from Altace(R). Neither we nor American Home Products may be able to
overcome the perception by physicians of a class effect, which we discuss below.
Further, developments in technologies, the introduction of other products or new
therapies may make it more attractive for American Home Products to concentrate
on the promotion of a product or products other than Altace(R) or to lessen its
emphasis on the marketing of Altace(R). Our strategic decisions in dealing with
managed health care organizations may not prove to be correct and we could
consequently lose sales in this market to competing ACE inhibitor products or
alternative therapies. If any of these situations occurred, they could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.

IF OUR BRISTOL FACILITY IS NOT QUALIFIED AS A MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING SITE
FOR ALTACE(R) OR IF THERE IS AN INTERRUPTION IN THE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIAL FOR
ALTACE(R), THE DISTRIBUTION, MARKETING AND SUBSEQUENT SALES OF THE PRODUCT COULD
BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

     We are currently working to qualify our Bristol facility as a manufacturing
and packaging site for Altace(R). While Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (USA),
successor to Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. from which we purchased Altace(R),
will remain as a supplier of the finished Altace(R) product to us, we intend our
Bristol facility to ultimately be the primary source for the manufacture and
packaging of Altace(R) for us. If we are unable to secure the approval of our
Bristol facility as a manufacturing and packaging site or do not do so in a
timely manner, we may not be able to meet the anticipated demand for Altace(R).
While Aventis (USA) will remain an alternative or back-up supplier of Altace(R),
if we encounter delays or difficulties with the approval of our Bristol facility
as a site for the manufacture and packaging of Altace(R), the distribution,
marketing and subsequent sales of Altace(R) nonetheless could be adversely
affected. If we are delayed or unsuccessful in securing approval of the Bristol
facility as a supplier, we might not be able to make alternative supply
arrangements for additional amounts of the finished product at commercially
reasonable rates, if at all.

     When we have qualified our Bristol facility as a manufacturing and
packaging site for Altace(R), Aventis Pharma Deutscheland GmbH (Germany) will
continue to be our single supplier of ramipril, the active

                                        24
<PAGE>   26

ingredient in Altace(R). Because the manufacture of ramipril is a patented
process, we cannot secure the raw material from another source. Aventis (USA)
currently manufactures and packages Altace(R) for us for sales in the United
States and for itself for distribution outside of the United States. Any
interruptions or delays in receiving the finished product or raw material used
for the future production of Altace(R) could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We have
entered into a supply agreement with Aventis (Germany) and we believe that it
adequately protects our supply of raw material, but there can be no guarantee
that there will not be interruptions or delays in the supply of the raw
material.

SALES OF ALTACE(R) MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PERCEPTION OF A CLASS EFFECT, AND
ALTACE(R) AND OUR OTHER PRODUCTS MAY BE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS SOURCES OF
COMPETITION FROM ALTERNATE THERAPIES.

     Although the FDA has approved new indications for Altace(R), we may be
unable to meet investors' expectations regarding sales of Altace(R) due to a
perceived class effect or the inability to market Altace(R)'s new uses and
indications effectively.

     All prescription drugs currently marketed by pharmaceutical companies may
be grouped into existing drug classes, but the criteria for inclusion vary from
class to class. For some classes, specific biochemical properties may be the
defining characteristic. For example, Altace(R) (ramipril) is a member of a
class of products known as ACE inhibitors because ramipril is one of several
chemicals that inhibits the production of enzymes that convert angiotensin,
which could otherwise lead to hypertension.

     When one drug from a class is demonstrated to have a particularly
beneficial or previously undemonstrated effect (e.g., the benefit of Altace(R)
as shown by the Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation, which we refer to as the
"HOPE trial"), marketers of other drugs in the same class (for example, other
ACE inhibitors) will represent that their products offer the same benefit simply
by virtue of membership in the same drug class. Consequently, other companies
with ACE inhibitors that compete with Altace(R) will represent that their
products are equivalent to Altace(R). By doing so, these companies will
represent that their products offer the same efficacious results demonstrated by
the HOPE trial. Regulatory agencies do not decide whether products within a
class are quantitatively equivalent in terms of efficacy or safety. Because
comparative data among products in the same drug class are rare, marketing
forces often dictate a physician's decision to use one ACE inhibitor over
another. We may not be able to overcome other companies' representations that
their ACE inhibitors will offer the same benefits as Altace(R) as demonstrated
by the HOPE trial. As a result, sales of Altace(R) may suffer from the
perception of a class effect.

     Currently, there is no generic form of Altace(R) available. That is, there
is no product that has the same active ingredient as Altace(R). Although no
generic substitute for Altace(R) has been approved by the FDA, there are other
ACE inhibitors whose patents have expired or will expire in the next few years
and there are generic forms of other ACE inhibitors. Also, there are different
therapeutic agents that may be used to treat certain conditions treated by
Altace(R). For example, the group of products known as beta-blockers, calcium
channel blockers and diuretics, may be prescribed to treat certain conditions
that Altace(R) is used to treat. New ACE inhibitors, increased sales of generic
forms of other ACE inhibitors or of other therapeutic agents that compete with
Altace(R) may adversely affect the sales of Altace(R).

OUR MARKETING ALLIANCE WITH AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS FOR ALTACE(R) COULD BE
TERMINATED BEFORE WE REALIZE ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF THE AGREEMENT OR IT COULD BE
ASSIGNED TO ANOTHER COMPANY BY AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS OR AMERICAN HOME PRODUCTS
COULD MARKET A COMPETING PRODUCT.

     Our exclusive Co-Promotion Agreement for Altace(R) with Wyeth-Ayerst
Laboratories, a division of American Home Products Corporation, could be
terminated before we realize all of the benefits of the agreement. American Home
Products and we each have the right to terminate the agreement if annualized net
sales of Altace(R) have not reached $300.0 million by October 4, 2003. There are
other reasons why either American Home Products or we could terminate the
Co-Promotion Agreement. If the Co-Promotion Agreement is terminated for any
reason, we may not realize increased sales which we believe may result from

                                        25
<PAGE>   27

the expanded promotion of Altace(R). If we must unwind our marketing alliance
efforts because of the reasons mentioned above, there may be a material adverse
effect on the sales of Altace(R).

     If another company were to acquire, directly or indirectly, over 50% of the
combined voting power of American Home Products' voting securities or more than
half of its total assets, then American Home Products could assign its rights
and obligations under the Altace(R) Co-Promotion Agreement to a successor
without our prior consent. However, a successor would be required to first
assume in writing the obligations of American Home Products under the
Co-Promotion Agreement before the rights of American Home Products were assigned
to it. Another party might not market Altace(R) as effectively or efficiently as
American Home Products did. Also, a company which acquires American Home
Products might not place as much emphasis on the Co-Promotion Agreement, might
expend fewer marketing resources, such as a fewer number of sales
representatives, than American Home Products did, or might have less experience
or expertise in marketing pharmaceutical products to physicians. In any of these
cases, there may be a material adverse effect on the sales of Altace(R).

     When feasible, American Home Products must give us six months' written
notice of its intent to sell, market or distribute any product competitive with
Altace(R). Under the Co-Promotion Agreement, a product competes with Altace(R)
if it is an ACE inhibitor, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, which we refer to
as an "ARB," or an ACE inhibitor or ARB in combination with other cardiovascular
agents in a single product. However, an ARB alone or in combination with other
cardiovascular agents competes with Altace(R) only if the level of promotional
effort used by American Home Products for the ARB is greater than 50% of that
applied to Altace(R). A product would not compete with Altace(R) if in the last
12 months it had net sales of less than $100.0 million or 15% of net sales of
Altace(R), whichever was higher. Also, a product would not compete with
Altace(R) under the Co-Promotion Agreement if the product were acquired by
American Home Products through a merger with or acquisition by a third party and
the product was no longer actively promoted by American Home Products or its
successor through detailing the product to physicians.

     Once we have been notified in writing of American Home Products' intent to
market, sell or distribute a competing product, then American Home Products has
90 days to inform us as to whether it intends to divest its interest in the
competing product. If American Home Products elects to divest the competing
product, it must try to identify a purchaser and to enter into a definitive
agreement with the purchaser as soon as practicable. If American Home Products
elects not to divest the competing product or fails to divest the product within
one year of providing notice to us of its plan to divest the competing product,
then both of us must attempt to establish acceptable terms under which we would
together market the competing product for the remaining term of our Altace(R)
Co-Promotion Agreement. Alternatively, American Home Products and we could agree
upon another commercial relationship, such as royalties payable to us for the
sale of the competing product, or we could agree to adjust the promotion fee we
pay to American Home Products for the its marketing of Altace(R). If American
Home Products and we are unable to establish acceptable terms under any of these
options, then we have the option at our sole discretion to reacquire all the
marketing rights to Altace(R) and terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement upon 180
days' prior written notice to American Home Products. In the event we decided to
reacquire all the marketing rights to Altace(R) we would be obligated to pay
American Home Products an amount of cash equal to twice the net sales of
Altace(R) in the United States for the 12 month period preceding the
reacquisition. Such a decision could have a material effect on our business,
financial condition, the results of our operations and cash flows.

OUR SALES OF LEVOXYL(R) COULD BE AFFECTED BY FUTURE ACTIONS OF THE FDA AND BY
UNCERTAINTY IN THE LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM PRODUCT MARKET.

     On August 14, 1997, the FDA announced in the Federal Register (62 FR 43535)
that orally administered levothyroxine sodium drug products are new drugs. The
notice stated that manufacturers who wish to continue to market these products
must submit applications as required by the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or "FDC
Act," as it is generally known, by August 14, 2000. On April 26, 2000, the FDA
issued a second Federal Register notice extending the deadline for filing these
applications until August 14, 2001.

                                        26
<PAGE>   28

     On May 25, 2001, the FDA approved our previously filed New Drug Application
for Levoxyl(R), our levothyroxine sodium drug product. It is possible that other
manufacturers of levothyroxine sodium drug products have filed or will file
other New Drug Applications for their levothyroxine sodium products. Jerome
Stevens, Inc. has also received approval for its levothyroxine sodium product
Unithroid. After August 14, 2001, the FDA will refuse to accept a New Drug
Application for a levothyroxine sodium drug product that is pharmaceutically
equivalent to an approved product. However, the treatment of applications which
are submitted prior to August 14, 2001, but not approved by August 14, 2001 is
uncertain. The FDA has stated it will continue to review these applications.
Other manufacturers who wish to submit an application for an equivalent product
after August 14, 2001 must submit an Abbreviated New Drug Application. Also,
since the Jerome Stevens product has been approved, a manufacturer could submit
an Abbreviated New Drug Application demonstrating in vivo bioequivalence (in
other words, the two products produce identical effects on the body) to the
Jerome Stevens product. If the FDA were to determine that another levothyroxine
sodium product is bioequivalent to Levoxyl(R), generic substitution for
Levoxyl(R) may become possible which could result in a decrease in sales of our
product Levoxyl(R).

WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT SALES OF LORABID(R) WILL INCREASE IN THE FUTURE. IF
SALES DO NOT INCREASE, THERE MAY BE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT UPON OUR RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

     Prior to our acquisition of Lorabid(R), sales of that product were on the
decline because we believe that the prior owner was not actively promoting the
product. Increased sales of Lorabid(R) depend upon effective marketing to
physicians which leads them to write prescriptions for our product. Since the
antibiotic market is very competitive, we cannot assure you that sales of
Lorabid(R) will increase in the future. If Lorabid(R) sales do not increase or
if they decrease, there may be a material adverse effect upon our results of
operations and cash flow.

IF WE CANNOT IMPLEMENT OUR STRATEGY TO GROW OUR BUSINESS THROUGH INCREASED SALES
AND ACQUISITIONS, OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY MAY
SUFFER.

     We have historically increased our sales and net income through strategic
acquisitions and related internal growth initiatives intended to develop
marketing opportunities with respect to acquired product lines. Our strategy is
focused on increasing sales and enhancing our competitive standing through
acquisitions that complement our business and enable us to promote and sell new
products through existing marketing and distribution channels. Moreover, since
we engage in limited proprietary research activity with respect to product
development, we rely heavily on purchasing product lines from other companies.

     Other companies, many of which have substantially greater financial,
marketing and sales resources than we do, may compete with us for the
acquisition of products or companies. We may not be able to acquire rights to
additional products or companies on acceptable terms, if at all, or be able to
obtain future financing for acquisitions on acceptable terms, if at all. The
inability to effect acquisitions of additional branded products could limit the
overall growth of our business. Furthermore, even if we obtain rights to a
pharmaceutical product or acquire a company, we may not be able to generate
sales sufficient to create a profit or otherwise avoid a loss. For example, our
marketing strategy, distribution channels and levels of competition with respect
to acquired products may be different than those of our current products,
limiting our ability to compete favorably in those product categories.

IF WE CANNOT INTEGRATE THE BUSINESS OF COMPANIES OR PRODUCTS WE ACQUIRE, OUR
BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

     We anticipate that the integration of newly acquired companies and products
into our business will require significant management attention and expansion of
our sales force. In order to manage our acquisitions effectively, we must
maintain adequate operational, financial and management information systems and
motivate and effectively manage an increasing number of employees. Our recent
acquisitions, including the acquisition of Jones Pharma Incorporated, have
significantly expanded our product offerings, operations and number of
employees. Our future success will also depend in part on our ability to retain
or hire qualified employees to operate our expanding facilities efficiently in
accordance with applicable regulatory standards. If

                                        27
<PAGE>   29

we cannot integrate our acquisitions successfully, these changes and
acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DEVELOP OR LICENSE NEW PRODUCTS, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

     We compete with other pharmaceutical companies, including large
pharmaceutical companies with financial resources and capabilities substantially
greater than ours, in the development and licensing of new products. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to

     - engage in product life cycle management to develop new indications and
       line extensions for existing and acquired products;

     - develop, license or successfully commercialize new products on a timely
       basis or at all; or

     - develop or license new products in a cost effective manner.

For example, we are

     - engaged in the development of Binodisine (MRE0470), a myocardial
       pharmacologic stress imaging agent;

     - under a licensing agreement with Novavax developing recombinant human
       papillomavirus (HPV) virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines; and

     - under an exclusive license with Novavax we anticipate promoting,
       marketing, distributing and selling Estrasorb(TM), a topical transdermal
       estrogen replacement therapy, and Androsorb(TM), a topical testosterone
       replacement therapy for testosterone deficient women, upon their approval
       by the FDA.

     However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in any or all of
these projects.

Further, other companies may license or develop products or may acquire
technologies for the development of products that are the same as or similar to
the products we have in development or that we license. Because there is rapid
technological change in the industry and because many other companies may have
more financial resources than we do, other companies may

     - develop or license their products more rapidly than we can,

     - complete any applicable regulatory approval process sooner than we can,

     - market or license their products before we can market or license our
       products, or

     - offer their newly developed or licensed products at prices lower than our
       prices,

and thereby have a negative impact on the sales of our newly developed or
licensed products. Technological developments or the FDA's approval of new
therapeutic indications for existing products may make our existing products or
those products we are licensing or developing obsolete or may make them more
difficult to market successfully, which could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

WE DO NOT HAVE PROPRIETARY PROTECTION FOR MOST OF OUR BRANDED PHARMACEUTICAL
PRODUCTS, AND OUR SALES COULD SUFFER FROM COMPETITION BY GENERIC SUBSTITUTES.

     Although most of our revenue is generated by products not subject to
competition from generic products, there is no proprietary protection for most
of our branded pharmaceutical products, and generic substitutes for most of
these products are sold by other pharmaceutical companies. In addition,
governmental and other pressure to reduce pharmaceutical costs may result in
physicians prescribing products for which there are generic substitutes.
Increased competition from the sale of generic pharmaceutical products may cause
a decrease in revenue from our branded products and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For example, Tapazole(R), with net sales of $26.5 million in 1999, began to face
generic competition in 2000 and had net sales of $29.0 million in 2000 although
net sales declined in the last six months of 2000. In addition, our branded
products for which there is no generic form

                                        28
<PAGE>   30

available may face competition from different therapeutic agents used for the
same indications for which our branded products are used.

THIRD PARTIES MANUFACTURE OR SUPPLY MATERIALS FOR MANY OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND ANY
DELAYS OR DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY THEM MAY REDUCE OUR PROFIT MARGINS AND
REVENUES OR HARM OUR REPUTATION.

     Many of our product lines, including Altace(R), Lorabid(R) and
Cortisporin(R), are currently manufactured by third parties. Our dependence upon
third parties for the manufacture of our products may adversely impact our
profit margins or may result in unforeseen delays or other problems beyond our
control. If for any reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party
manufacturers on commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to distribute
our products as planned. If we encounter delays or difficulties with contract
manufacturers in producing or packaging our products, the distribution,
marketing and subsequent sales of these products would be adversely affected,
and we may have to seek alternative sources of supply or abandon or sell product
lines on unsatisfactory terms. We might not be able to enter into alternative
supply arrangements at commercially acceptable rates, if at all. We also cannot
assure you that the manufacturers we utilize will be able to provide us with
sufficient quantities of our products or that the products supplied to us will
meet our specifications.

     We require a supply of quality raw materials and components to manufacture
and package pharmaceutical products for us and for third parties with which we
have contracted. Generally, we have not had difficulty obtaining raw materials
and components from suppliers in the past. Currently, we rely on over 500
suppliers to deliver the necessary raw materials and components. We have no
reason to believe that we will be unable to procure adequate supplies of raw
materials and components on a timely basis. However, if we are unable to obtain
sufficient quantities of any of the raw materials or components required to
produce and package our products, we may not be able to distribute our products
as planned. In this case, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.

OUR PARKEDALE FACILITY HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF FDA CONCERNS. IF WE CANNOT
ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE FDA'S CONCERNS, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OPERATE THE PARKEDALE
FACILITY AND, ACCORDINGLY, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

     Our Parkedale facility, located in Rochester, Michigan, manufactures both
drug and biological pharmaceutical products. Prior to our acquisition of the
Parkedale facility in February 1998, it was one of six Pfizer facilities subject
to a consent decree issued by the U.S. District Court of New Jersey in August
1993 as a result of FDA concerns about compliance issues within Pfizer
facilities in the period before the decree was entered.

     The Parkedale facility was inspected by the FDA in February 2001. When an
FDA inspector completes an authorized inspection of a manufacturing facility,
the FDC Act mandates that the inspector give to the owner/operator of the
facility a written report listing the inspector's observations of objectionable
conditions and practices. This written report is known as an "FDA Form 483" or
simply as a "483." The observations in a 483 are reported to the manufacturer in
order to assist the manufacturer in complying with the FDC Act and the
regulations enforced by the FDA. Often a pharmaceutical manufacturer receives a
483 after an inspection and our Parkedale facility received a 483 following the
February 2001 inspection. While no law or regulation requires us to respond to a
483 we have submitted a written response detailing our plan of action with
respect to each of the observations made on the February 483 and our commitment
to correct the objectionable practice or condition. The risk to us of a 483, if
left uncorrected, could include, among other things, the imposition of civil
monetary penalties, the commencement of actions to seize or prohibit the sale of
unapproved or non-complying products, or the cessation of manufacturing
operations at the Parkedale facility that are not in compliance with current
Good Manufacturing Practices, generally known as "cGMP." While we believe the
receipt of the 483 will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operation and cash flows, we cannot assure you
that future inspections may not result in adverse regulatory actions. The 483
from February 2001 does not require us to delay or discontinue the production of
any products made at the Parkedale facility.

                                        29
<PAGE>   31

AN INCREASE IN PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS, PRODUCT RECALLS OR PRODUCT RETURNS
COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims
in the event that the use of our technologies or products are alleged to have
resulted in adverse effects. These risks will exist for those products in
clinical development and with respect to those products that receive regulatory
approval for commercial sale. While we have taken, and will continue to take,
what we believe are appropriate precautions, we may not be able to avoid
significant product liability exposure. We currently have product liability
insurance in the amount of $75.0 million for aggregate annual claims with a
$50,000 deductible per incident and a $500,000 aggregate annual deductible;
however, we cannot assure you that the level or breadth of any insurance
coverage will be sufficient to cover fully all potential claims. Also, adequate
insurance coverage might not be available in the future at acceptable costs, if
at all.

     Product recalls may be issued at our discretion, at the discretion of the
FDA, or at the discretion of other government agencies or other companies having
regulatory authority for pharmaceutical product sales. From time to time, we may
recall products for various reasons. To date, however, these recalls have not
been significant and have not had a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, we cannot
assure you that the number and significance of recalls will not increase in the
future.

     Although product returns were approximately 2.4% of gross sales for the
year ended December 31, 2000, we cannot assure you that actual levels of returns
will not increase or significantly exceed the amounts we have anticipated.

OUR WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY, JONES PHARMA, IS A DEFENDANT IN LITIGATION WHICH IS
CURRENTLY BEING HANDLED BY ITS INSURANCE CARRIERS. SHOULD THIS COVERAGE BE
INADEQUATE OR SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED OR WERE WE TO LOSE SOME OF THESE LAWSUITS, OUR
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

     Our wholly owned subsidiary, Jones Pharma, is a defendant in more than
1,800 multi-defendant lawsuits involving the manufacture and sale of
dexfenfluramine, fenfluramine and phentermine, which is usually referred to as
"fen/phen." In 1996 Jones acted as a distributor of Obenix(R), a branded
phentermine product. Jones also distributed a generic phentermine product. Jones
believes that its phentermine products have been identified in less than 100 of
the foregoing cases. The plaintiffs in these cases claim injury as a result of
ingesting a combination of these weight-loss drugs. They seek compensatory and
punitive damages as well as medical care and court-supervised medical
monitoring. The plaintiffs claim liability based on a variety of theories
including but not limited to, product liability, strict liability, negligence,
breach of warranties and misrepresentation. These suits are filed in various
jurisdictions throughout the United States, and in each of these suits Jones is
one of many defendants, including manufacturers and other distributors of these
drugs. Jones denies any liability incident to the distribution of its
phentermine product and intends to pursue all defenses available to it. Jones
has tendered defense of these lawsuits to its insurance carriers for handling
and they are currently defending Jones in these suits. In the event that
insurance coverage is inadequate to satisfy any resulting liability, Jones will
have to resume defense of these lawsuits and be responsible for the damages, if
any, that are awarded against it.

SALES OF THROMBIN-JMI(R) MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PERCEPTION OF RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH SOME OF THE RAW MATERIALS USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE.

     The source material for our product Thrombin-JMI(R) comes from bovine
plasma and lung tissue. Bovine-sourced materials from outside the United States
may be of some concern because of potential transmission of Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy, or BSE. However, we have taken precautions to minimize the risks
of contamination from BSE in our source materials including, primarily, the use
of bovine materials only from FDA-approved sources in the United States.
Although no BSE has been documented in the United States, the United States is
considered a Category II BSE-risk country, meaning that the United States is
probably BSE-free but has some history of importing cattle from the United
Kingdom.

     We receive the bovine raw materials from a single vendor and any
interruption or delay in the supply of that material could adversely affect the
sales of Thrombin-JMI(R). In addition to other actions taken by us and
                                        30
<PAGE>   32

our vendor to minimize the risk of BSE, we are developing steps to further
purify the material of other contaminants. While we believe that our procedures
and those of our vendor for the supply, testing and handling of the bovine
material comply with all federal, state, and local regulations, we cannot
eliminate the risk of contamination or injury from these materials. We will
continue surveillance of the source and believe that the risk of
BSE-contamination in the source materials for Thrombin-JMI(R) is very low. There
are high levels of global public concern about BSE. Physicians could determine
not to administer Thrombin-JMI(R) because of the perceived risk which could
adversely affect our sales of the product. Any injuries resulting from BSE
contamination could expose us to extensive liability. Also there is currently no
alternative to the bovine-sourced materials for Thrombin-JMI(R). If BSE spreads
to the United States, the manufacture and sale of Thrombin-JMI(R) and our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected.

THE LOSS OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

     We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management staff,
the loss of whose services might impede the achievement of our acquisition and
development objectives. Although we believe that we are adequately staffed in
key positions and that we will be successful in retaining skilled and
experienced management, operational, scientific and development personnel, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to attract and retain key personnel on
acceptable terms. The loss of the services of key personnel could have a
material adverse effect on us, especially in light of our recent growth. We do
not maintain key-person life insurance on any of our employees. In addition, we
do not have employment agreements with any of our key employees.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SECURE OR ENFORCE PATENT RIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, TRADE SECRETS
OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE HARMED.

     We may not be successful in securing or maintaining proprietary patent
protection for products we develop or technologies we license. In addition, our
competitors may develop products similar to ours using methods and technologies
that are beyond the scope of our intellectual property protection, which could
reduce our sales. The validity of patents can be subject to expensive
litigation. We can give you no assurance that our patents will not be
challenged. Competitors may be able to develop similar or competitive products
outside the scope of our patents which could have a material adverse effect on
sales of our products or the amounts of royalty revenues we receive.

     We also rely upon trade secrets, unpatented proprietary know-how and
continuing technological innovation, where patent protection is not believed to
be appropriate or attainable, in order to maintain our competitive position. We
cannot assure you that others will not independently develop substantially
equivalent proprietary technology and techniques or otherwise gain access to our
trade secrets or disclose the technology, or that we can adequately protect our
trade secrets.

OUR SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AND BYLAWS DISCOURAGE UNSOLICITED TAKEOVER PROPOSALS
AND COULD ENTRENCH CURRENT MANAGEMENT AND PREVENT SHAREHOLDERS FROM REALIZING A
PREMIUM ON THEIR COMMON STOCK.

     We have a shareholder rights plan that may have the effect of discouraging
unsolicited takeover proposals, thereby entrenching current management and
possibly depressing the market price of our common stock. The rights issued
under the shareholder rights plan would cause substantial dilution to a person
or group which attempts to acquire us on terms not approved in advance by our
board of directors. In addition, our charter and bylaws contain provisions that
may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to
be in their best interests. These provisions include:

     - a classified board of directors,

     - the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue
       new series of preferred stock,

     - advance notice requirements for nominations for election to the board of
       directors, and

     - special voting requirements for the amendment of our charter and bylaws.
                                        31
<PAGE>   33

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Tennessee laws, each of
which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions and
the rights plan may make more difficult the removal of management and may
discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over
prevailing market prices for common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
OPERATE OUR BUSINESS.

     Virtually all aspects of our activities are regulated by federal and state
statutes and government agencies. The manufacturing, processing, formulation,
packaging, labeling, distribution and advertising of our products, and disposal
of waste products arising from these activities, are subject to regulation by
one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, the Drug Enforcement
Administration, or "DEA," the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Product
Safety Commission, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, or "EPA," as
well as by foreign governments in countries where we distribute some of our
products.

     Noncompliance with applicable FDA policies or requirements could subject us
to enforcement actions, such as suspensions of manufacturing or distribution,
seizure of products, product recalls, fines, criminal penalties, injunctions,
failure to approve pending drug product applications or withdrawal of product
marketing approvals. Similar civil or criminal penalties could be imposed by
other government agencies, such as the DEA, the EPA or various agencies of the
states and localities in which our products are manufactured, sold or
distributed and could have ramifications for our contracts with government
agencies such as the Veteran's Administration or the Department of Defense.
These enforcement actions could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

     All manufacturers of human pharmaceutical products are subject to
regulation by the FDA under the authority of the FDC Act or the Public Health
Service Act, which we refer to as the "PHS Act," or both. New drugs, as defined
in the FDC Act, and new human biological drugs, as defined in the PHS Act, must
be the subject of an FDA-approved new drug or biologic license application
before they may be marketed in the United States. Some prescription and other
drugs are not the subject of an approved marketing application but, rather, are
marketed subject to the FDA's regulatory discretion and/or enforcement policies.
Any change in the FDA's enforcement discretion and/or policies could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

     We manufacture some pharmaceutical products containing controlled
substances and, therefore, are also subject to statutes and regulations enforced
by the DEA and similar state agencies which impose security, record keeping,
reporting and personnel requirements on us. Additionally, we manufacture
biological drug products for human use and are subject to regulatory burdens as
a result of these aspects of our business. There are additional FDA and other
regulatory policies and requirements covering issues such as advertising,
commercially distributing, selling, sampling and reporting adverse events
associated with our products with which we must continuously comply.
Noncompliance with any of these policies or requirements could result in
enforcement actions which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

     The FDA has the authority and discretion to withdraw existing marketing
approvals and to review the regulatory status of marketed products at any time.
For example, the FDA may require an approved marketing application for any drug
product marketed if new information reveals questions about a drug's safety or
efficacy. All drugs must be manufactured in conformity with cGMP requirements,
and drug products subject to an approved application must be manufactured,
processed, packaged, held and labeled in accordance with information contained
in the approved application.

     While we believe that all of our currently marketed pharmaceutical products
comply with FDA enforcement policies, have approval pending or have received the
requisite agency approvals, our marketing is subject to challenge by the FDA at
any time. Through various enforcement mechanisms, the FDA can ensure that
noncomplying drugs are no longer marketed. In addition, modifications,
enhancements, or changes in

                                        32
<PAGE>   34

manufacturing sites of approved products are in many circumstances subject to
additional FDA approvals which may or may not be received and which may be
subject to a lengthy FDA review process. Our manufacturing facilities and those
of our third-party manufacturers are continually subject to inspection by
governmental agencies. Manufacturing operations could be interrupted or halted
in any of those facilities if a government or regulatory authority is
unsatisfied with the results of an inspection. Any interruptions of this type
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

     We cannot determine what effect changes in regulations, enforcement
positions, statutes or legal interpretation, when and if promulgated, adopted or
enacted, may have on our business in the future. Changes could, among other
things, require changes to manufacturing methods or facilities, expanded or
different labeling, new approvals, the recall, replacement or discontinuance of
certain products, additional record keeping and expanded documentation of the
properties of certain products and scientific substantiation. These changes, or
new legislation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ANY REDUCTION IN REIMBURSEMENT LEVELS BY MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS OR OTHER
THIRD-PARTY PAYORS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR REVENUES.

     Commercial success in producing, marketing and selling products depends, in
part, on the availability of adequate reimbursement from third-party health care
payors, such as government and private health insurers and managed care
organizations. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the pricing of
medical products and services. For example, many managed health care
organizations are now controlling the pharmaceutical products that are on their
formulary lists. The resulting competition among pharmaceutical companies to
place their products on these formulary lists has reduced prices across the
industry. In addition, many managed care organizations are considering formulary
contracts primarily with those pharmaceutical companies that can offer a full
line of products for a given therapy sector or disease state. We cannot assure
you that our products will be included on the formulary lists of managed care
organizations or that downward pricing pressures in the industry generally will
not negatively impact our operations.

NEW LEGISLATION OR REGULATORY PROPOSALS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
RAISE CAPITAL AND OUR REVENUES.

     A number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the
health care system, including the cost of prescription products, reimportation
of prescription products and changes in the levels at which pharmaceutical
companies are reimbursed for sales of their products, have been proposed. While
we cannot predict when or whether any of these proposals will be adopted or the
effect these proposals may have on our business, the pending nature of these
proposals, as well as the adoption of any proposal, may harm our ability to
raise capital, may exacerbate industry-wide pricing pressures and could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

THE INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR INDUSTRY HAVE
MUCH GREATER RESOURCES THEN WE DO.

     In the industry, comparatively smaller pharmaceutical companies like us
compete with large, global pharmaceutical companies with substantially greater
financial resources for the acquisition of products, technologies and companies.

     COMPETITION FOR ACQUISITIONS.  We compete with other pharmaceutical
companies for product and product line acquisitions. These competitors include
Forest Laboratories, Inc., Shire Pharmaceuticals Group plc, Biovail Corporation,
Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation and other
companies which also acquire branded pharmaceutical products and product lines
from other pharmaceutical companies. We cannot assure you that

     - we will be able to continue to acquire commercially attractive
       pharmaceutical products, companies or technologies;

                                        33
<PAGE>   35

     - additional competitors will not enter the market; or

     - competition for acquisition of products, companies, technologies and
       product lines will not have a material adverse effect on our business,
       financial condition and results of operations.

     PRODUCT COMPETITION.  Additionally, since our products are generally
established and commonly sold, they are subject to competition from products
with similar qualities.

     Our largest product Altace(R) competes in the market with other
cardiovascular therapies, including in particular, the following ACE inhibitors:

     - Zestril(R) (AstraZeneca PLC),

     - Acupril(R) (Pfizer Inc.),

     - Prinivil(R) (Merck & Co., Inc.),

     - Lotensin(R) (Novartis AG), and- Monopril(R) (Bristol-Meyers Squibb
                                       Company).

     Our second largest product Levoxyl(R) competes with the following
levothyroxine sodium products:

     - Synthroid(R) (Abbott Laboratories),

     - Levothroid(R) (Forest Laboratories, Inc.), and

     - Unithroid(R) (Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)

     We intend to market these products aggressively by, among other things

     - detailing and sampling to the primary prescribing physician groups

     - sponsoring physician symposiums, including continuing medical education
       seminars, and

     - conducting a planned direct-to-consumer advertising campaign for
       Altace(R).

     Our branded pharmaceutical products may be subject to competition from
alternate therapies and from generic equivalents.

     Many of our branded pharmaceutical products have either a strong market
niche or competitive position. Some of our branded pharmaceutical products face
competition from generic substitutes. For example, during 2000 the FDA approved
for sale generic substitutes for Tapazole(R). Of our branded pharmaceutical
products that have generic substitutes, we believe that only a small number face
significant competition because many of our branded pharmaceutical products are
too difficult to manufacture or prove bioequivalence (i.e., the two products
produce identical effects on the body) or have sales levels that are too low to
attract competition.

     The manufacturers of generic products typically do not bear the related
research and development costs and, consequently, are able to offer such
products at considerably lower prices than the branded equivalents. There are,
however, a number of factors which enable products to remain profitable once
patent protection has ceased. For a manufacturer to launch a generic substitute,
it must prove to the FDA when filing an application to make a generic substitute
that the branded pharmaceutical and the generic substitute have bioequivalence.
We believe it typically takes two or three years to prove bioequivalence and
receive FDA approval for many generic substitutes. By focusing our efforts in
part on products with bioequivalence or complex manufacturing requirements and
products with a strong brand image with the prescriber or the consumer,
supported by the development of a broader range of alternative product
formulations or dosage forms, we are better able to protect market share and
produce sustainable high margins and cash flows.
