NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED BUSINESS



In early July 1998, the Company decided to dispose discontinue funding the
operations of Pharma Labs, LLC (Pharma Labs), a 52% owned subsidiary.  The
Company is Pharma Labs and the Company, respectively, are currently negotiating
the sale of Pharma Labs with outside investors. with third parties for (i) the
sale of approximately $623,000 of certain machinery and equipment of Pharma
Labs, and/or (ii) the sale of QCP's ownership interest in Pharma Labs.  To date
no definitive agreements have been reached and there can be no assurances that
either of the above transactions will be consummated in the future.  Labs), a
52% owned subsidiary. The Company is currently negotiating the sale of Pharma
Labs with outside investors.

At May 31, 1998, the Company recorded the following adjustments to reduce the
carrying value of Pharma Labs' assets to estimated net realizable value. These
write-downs are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under the
category unusual charge.

<TABLE>
<S>                                                                         <C>

                                                                            $  203,500
                                                                            ==========
</TABLE>

To date, the Company has loaned Pharma Labs $966,000 and Pharma Labs has trade
receivables of $415,000 due from a Vietnam based business affiliated with the
other member of Pharma Labs (the "Member"). Due to the poor financial condition
of the Company's joint venture partner, and termination of an ongoing business
relationship Member, the Company estimates that the collectability of a
substantial portion of the $415,000 trade receivable due from a Vietnam based
business affiliated with the Company's joint venture partner advances and trade
receivables is doubtful. Accordingly, third quarter operating results include a
bad debt provision for a substantial portion of this receivable of $676,000 and
$305,000, respectively.

At February 28, 1998, the Company recorded a $230,000 loss at Pharma Labs on the
write-down of property, plant and equipment to estimated fair market value based
on an outside appraisal and a $200,000 loss on the write-down of inventory to
estimated net realizable value. In the Consolidated Statement of Operations, the
property, plant and equipment write-down was reported as an unusual item and the
inventory write-down was included in cost of sales. Also the Pharma Labs'
property plant and equipment is classified in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets as property held for sale. The Company recorded these write-downs
because efforts to turn around the poor performance of Pharma Labs did not meet
expectations and the Company could no longer be assured that future cash flows
would cover the carrying value of certain assets of Pharma Labs.


NOTE 3.         RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During fiscal 1998 to July 10, 1998, the Company borrowed $3,970,000, net of
repayments, from a shareholder who is also an officer and director, and
$470,000, net of repayments, from a 



<PAGE>   9
shareholder and director. These loans are payable on demand and bear interest
at Bank prime plus 2%, the same rate charged by the Company's primary bank (the
"Bank"). Loan proceeds were used for working capital. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

NOTE 4.         SALE OF BUSINESS

On April 7, 1997, the Company completed the sale of the assets related to its
business of manufacturing and distributing radiopharmaceutical and radiochemical
drugs for a total sale price of $6,600,000 pursuant to the terms of an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 1997, by and between the Company and Syncor
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Included in the sale was the New Drug Application (NDA)
for the radiopharmaceuticals, the building that contains the manufacturing
facility for this business, and all of the related equipment. The proceeds from
the sale were used to pay off the Company's term loans in the principal amounts
of $3,750,000 and $266,660, respectively, and to pay down $1,485,000 of its
revolving line of credit.

NOTE 5.        GOODWILL

Goodwill, representing the excess of the cost over the net tangible and
identifiable intangible assets on the purchase of Quality Care Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. ("QCP") in August, 1995, is stated at cost and is amortized, on a
straight-line basis, over the estimated future periods to be benefited (20
years).  On an annual basis, the Company reviews the recoverability of goodwill
based primarily upon an analysis of undiscounted cash flows from the acquired
business.

NOTE 6.        DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISK AND UNCERTAINTY

At August 31, 1997 the Company conducted a test for asset impairment in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 121.  This test has been updated
through the current quarter.  It is management's opinion that, exclusive of the
write-downs for Pharma Labs, no impairment loss occurred.  QCP has a current
period operating loss and cash flow loss, and is expected to have continuing
losses in the near term.  Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the
results of the impairment test may change in the future and an impairment loss
may result.

NOTE 7.        NOTES PAYABLE AND REVOLVING FACILITY

In connection with the note payable, the Company is required to maintain
compliance with certain covenants.  At May 31, 1998, the company was not in
compliance with covenants related to book net worth, debt service coverage,
interest coverage, net income (loss) and capital expenditures.  The Company is
currently renegotiating the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank which
includes renegotiation of the covenants.  During this process the bank has
allowed the Company to continue to make withdrawals from the revolving
facility.

NOTE 8.        YEAR 2000

The Company recognizes the need to ensure its operations will not be adversely
impacted by Year 2000 software failures.  The Company is addressing this risk to
the availability and integrity of financial systems and the reliability of
operational systems.  The Company has established processes for evaluating and
managing the risks and costs associated with this problem.  An initial
assessment has been completed and the cost of achieving Year 2000 compliance is
estimated to be not material.  Cost will be expensed as incurred and are
estimated to continue through fiscal 1999.

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected
financial data and the financial statements and notes thereto filed herewith.

The statements contained in this report, if not historical, are forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from the financial results described in such forward looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the level and
rate of growth in the Company's operations and the capital requirements of
Quality Care Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("QCP") and Pharma Labs. The success of the
Company's business operations is, in turn, dependent on factors such as the
effectiveness of the Company's marketing strategies to grow its customer base,
the appeal of the Company's mix of products, the Company's success at entering
into and collaborating with others to conduct effective strategic alliances and
joint ventures, general competitive conditions within the health care market and
general economic conditions. Further, any forward looking statements speak only
as of the date on which such statement was made, and the Company undertakes no
obligation to update any forward looking statement or statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Therefore, forward looking
statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual future results.

Due to the poor financial condition of the Member and the continued poor
performance of Pharma Labs, in July 1998 the Company decided to discontinue
funding the operations of Pharma Labs.  Pharma Labs and the Company,
respectively, are currently negotiating with third-parties for (i) the sale of
approximately $623,000 of certain equipment of Pharma Labs, and/or (ii) the sale
of QCP's  ownership interest in Pharma Labs.  To date no definitive agreements
have been reached and there can be no assurances that either of the above
transactions will be consummated in the future.

As discussed in "Note 2" to "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," as a
result of the foregoing, the Company's current Consolidated Statement of
Operations includes a bad debt provision for a substantial portion of total
trade receivables due Pharma Labs from a Vietnam based affiliate of the Member,
and reflects losses resulting from, among other things, the write-down of (i)
property, plant and equipment of Pharma Labs to the estimated net realizable
value, and (ii) the write-off of the non-compete agreement with the [Member.]

In addition, QCP is currently negotiating the purchase of remaining membership
interest in Rx Direct, LLC ("RxDirect"), not currently held by QCP. If
consummated, QCP intends to discontinue the operations of RxDirect and dissolve
this company.  To date no definitive agreement has been reached and there can be
no assurances that this transaction will be consummated in the future.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 
($ rounded to nearest thousand).

NET SALES - Net sales for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, were $4,642,000, a
decrease of $5,690,000 compared to $10,332,000 for the same period last year.
The decrease is due to the loss of sales arising from the sale of the
radiopharmaceutical business on April 7, 1997 ($2,370,000), and lower sales
recorded at QCP and Pharma Labs.

QCP recorded net sales of $4,004,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1998
compared to $6,551,000 in the same period last year. The lower sales level was
due to the loss of a private label customer and substantially lower diet drug
business.

Pharma Labs sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were $638,000 compared
to $1,411,000 in the same period last year. Last year's sales included
substantial stocking orders primarily in the quarter ended February 28, 1997 of
new product from a Vietnam distributor, affiliated with the Member, in
anticipation of strong customer demand. To date, customer demand has been well
below expectations and has resulted in excess distributor inventory and
depressed fiscal 1998 year-to-date sales.

COST OF SALES -- Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was 79.2% in the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to 67.4% for the comparable period
last year. Higher cost of sales, as a percent of net sales, at Pharma Labs was
offset somewhat by lower cost of sales at QCP. Pharma Labs' cost of sales
increased from the prior year due primarily to lower selling prices, higher
material costs, higher per unit overhead cost resulting from the lower sales
volume and a $200,000 write down of excess inventory to estimated net realizable
value. QCP's gross margins improved during the current period due to the loss of
a lower margin private label customer.


<PAGE>   11
 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE - Selling, general and administrative
expenses (SG&A) were $5,453,000, an increase of $1,074,000, excluding the
unusual charge discussed below (SG&A), were $5,019,000, an increase of $640,000
compared to $4,379,000 during the same period last year. QCP's SG&A expense
increased to $3,488,000 from $2,678,000 in the prior year due to increased
spending on staffing and infrastructure costs to support QCP's long term growth
program and development of new product initiatives, as discussed in greater
detail under "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

UNUSUAL CHARGE/IMPAIRMENT LOSS - Efforts to turn around the poor performance
of Pharma Labs have not met expectations, and the Company can no longer be
assured that future cash flows from Pharma Labs will cover the carrying value of
certain assets. Accordingly, Pharma Labs recorded a non-cash impairment loss of
$433,500 related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment to estimated
net realizable value and the write-off of capitalized non-compete agreement
costs, net of amortization.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense decreased to $409,000 from $1,368,251 in the
same period last year primarily due to the repayment of the $3,750,000 term loan
on April 7, 1997.

OTHER INCOME -  Other income for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, was
$77,000, a decrease of $519,000 compared to $596,000 for the same period last
year.  This decrease was primarily due to the inclusion in the prior period of
$484,000 in revenue due under the terms of the June 14, 1996, Guarantee
Agreement with the Member.  This revenue was subsequently written off as
collectability is unlikely due to the poor financial condition of the Member.

NET LOSS - As a result of the factors described above, the Company had a net
loss of ($4,411,000) for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, as compared to net
income of $3,916,000 for the nine months ended May 31, 1997. Losses from
operations were ($4,486,000) in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to
operating losses of ($1,014,000) in the same period last year. QCP's operating
losses increased to ($2,257,000) from ($790,000) in the prior year due to lower
sales volume and higher SG&A expenses. Pharma Labs' operating loss was
($1,553,000) compared to an operating loss of ($336,000) in the prior year due
primarily to lower sales volume, an inventory write down of $200,000 and the
$433,500 impairment loss as previously discussed. GPI's operating losses were
($676,000) compared to an operating profit of $112,000 in the comparable period
last year as a result of the loss of revenue due to the sale of the
radiopharmaceutical business.

The net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, also includes interest
expense of $409,000 and joint venture losses of $108,000 from the Company's
equity investment in RxDirect. In addition, the Company also had other income of
$77,000 compared to $596,000 in other income last year. Fiscal 1997 first nine
months other income included $484,000 in revenue due under the terms of the June
14, 1996, Guarantee Agreement with Pharma Labs' joint venture partner.


THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1998, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 ($
rounded to nearest thousand).

NET SALES - Net sales for the three months ended May 31, 1998, were $1,881,000,
a decrease of $792,000 compared to $2,673,000 for the same period last year. The
decrease is due to the loss of sales arising from the sale of the
radiopharmaceutical business on April 7, 1997 ($445,000), and lower sales
recorded at QCP and Pharma Labs.

QCP recorded net sales of $1,583,000 in the quarter ended May 31, 1998, compared
to $2,216,000 in the same period last year. The lower sales level was primarily
due to lower diet drug business that was substantially higher in the third
quarter last year.

Pharma Labs sales in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 were $298,000 compared to
$12,000 in the same period last year. As discussed in the nine months analysis,
last year's sales included substantial stocking orders primarily in the quarter
ended February 28, 1997, of new product 



<PAGE>   12
from a Vietnam distributor, affiliated with the Member, in anticipation of
strong customer demand. Subsequent to the quarter ended February 28, 1997,
customer demand has been well below expectation, and has resulted in excess
distributor inventory and depressed fiscal 1998 year-to-date sales.

COST OF SALES - Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was 76.6% in the
quarter ended May 31, 1998, compared to 69.4% for the comparable quarter last
year. Higher cost of sales, as a percent of net sales, resulted primarily from
the loss of revenue due to the sale of the radiopharmaceutical business. QCP's
gross margins improved during the current period due to the loss of a lower
margin private label customer.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE - SG&A expenses increased to $2,136,000 in
the quarter ended May 31, 1998, from $1,821,000 during the same period last
year. QCP's SG&A expense decreased to $1,208,000 from $1,213,000 in the third
quarter of the prior year due to decreases in commission payments on lower
sales as discussed in greater detail under "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

UNUSUAL CHARGE/IMPAIRMENT LOSS - Pharma Labs recorded a non-cash impairment
loss of $203,500 related to the write-down on property, plant and equipment to
estimated fair market value.

NET LOSS - As a result of the factors described above, the Company reported a
net loss of ($1,787,000) for the three months ended May 31, 1998, as compared to
net income of $4,309,000 for the three months ended May 31, 1997. Losses from
operations were ($1,697,000) in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to
operating losses of ($1,004,000) in the same quarter last year. QCP's operating
losses increased to ($783,000) from ($456,000) in the prior year due to lower
sales volume. Pharma Labs' operating loss was ($683,000) compared to an
operating loss of ($284,000) in the prior year due to the lower sales volume and
the impairment loss as previously discussed. GPI's operating losses were
($783,000) compared to an operating loss of ($457,000) in the comparable quarter
last year as a result of the loss of revenue due to the sale of the
radiopharmaceutical business.

The third quarter net loss also includes interest expense of $168,000 and joint
venture losses of $45,000 from the Company's equity investment in RxDirect. In
addition, the Company also had other income of $26,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1998.

At May 31, 1998, current assets were $3,638,000 compared to $3,256,000 at August
31, 1997. This increase was due primarily to a reclassification of property,
plan and equipment to assets held for sale by Pharma Labs. At May 31, 1998,
current liabilities were $6,934,000 compared to $3,132,000 at August 31, 1997.
This increase

was due primarily to an increase of $3,425,000 in notes payable to shareholders
and directors of the Company. The proceeds from the notes payable were used
primarily to fund the Company's negative cash flow from operations during the
first nine months of fiscal 1998.

During the first nine months of fiscal 1998, SG&A increased expenses compared to
the same period last year due to its expansion and development efforts
including: (i) expansion of QCP's sales department including the addition of key
sales executives; (ii) expansion of QCP's sales operations in the eastern
states; (iii) development of a customer service division at QCP; and (iv) the
expansion of QCP's information systems and programming department. The Company
believes this expansion program will continue to require significant up-front
expenditures both to service its existing business and to develop new lines of
business.

Prior to September 1997, the Company's primary source of funds for working
capital was the Company's revolving facility with the Bank. This facility is
payable at the Bank prime rate plus 2% and expires in August 2000. At May 31,
1998, the balance outstanding was $1,045,000, and the interest rate under the
Revolving Facility was 10.5%. The Revolving Facility is collateralized by QCP's
accounts receivable and inventory, and the availability under the Revolving
Facility is determined based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. As a
result of the Company's poor sales performance in the first nine months of
fiscal 1998, borrowing capacity under the $2,500,000 Revolving Facility was
limited to $823,000 at May 31, 1998.

At May 31, 1998, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants of the
Revolving Facility, including covenants regarding debt service, interest
coverage and net income. As a result of the default, the Bank has the right to
terminate the Revolving Facility, declare the outstanding balance due and
payable, and exercise other rights and remedies specified in the Revolving
Facility agreement. To date, the Bank has not exercised its right to terminate
the Revolving Facility. The Company is currently renegotiating the terms of the
Revolving Facility with the Bank including amendments to remedy the
non-compliance issues. However, there can be no assurance that the amendment
will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. During this
process, the Bank has allowed the Company to continue to make withdrawals from
the Revolving Facility.

As a result of the Company's inability to borrow sufficient amounts under the
Revolving Facility for operations, the Company was required to borrow funds from
certain shareholders and directors of the Company. See "Note 3" to "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements." The indebtedness is represented by
promissory notes issued by the Company and the amounts outstanding were $615,000
($575,000 payable to Charles R. Drummond and $40,000 payable to Arch G. Gothard,
III); and $4,040,000 ($3,570,000 payable to Charles R. Drummond and $470,000
payable to Arch G. Gothard, III) at August 31, 1997, and May 31, 1998,
respectively.

FUTURE OPERATIONS - The Company remains optimistic regarding the growth
potential for QCP, and efforts continue to expand the Company's business through
contract manufacturing and pursuit of increased "point-of-care" pharmaceutical
dispensing business. If consummated, the proposed Pharma Lab transactions,
discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, will allow the
Company to concentrate its efforts and resources on Quality Care
Pharmaceuticals. The Company does not believe, based on the past performance of
Pharma Labs, that the consummation of the proposed Pharma Lab transaction would
adversely effect the Company's cash flow in future periods.

As a result of continued QCP spending on expansion efforts, cash flow from
operations will not be sufficient to meet the Company's cash requirements during
the balance of fiscal 1998. As it is not anticipated that availability under the
Revolving Facility will be sufficient, the

Company is seeking to raise additional capital in order to fund its ongoing
operations and the continued investment and expansion of QCP. The Company,
through a financial advisor, is continuing to pursue an equity investment of $2
to $3 million. To date, the Company does not have any commitments with respect
to such financing and there can be no assurance that financing will be available
to the Company on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is
unable to obtain financing, it will be forced to terminate its expansion
activities, curtail certain existing operations and substantially reduce SG&A.
These activities would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business
and financial condition.


DISCLOSURE OF SIGNIFICANT RISK AND UNCERTAINTY

At August 31, 1997 the Company conducted a test for asset impairment in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 121.  This test has been updated
through the current quarter.  It is management's opinion that, exclusive of the
write-downs for Pharma Labs, no impairment loss occurred.  QCP has a current
period operating loss and cash flow loss, and is expected to have continuing
losses in the near term.

Key assumptions in the asset impairment test include several years of
significant sales growth through the year of 2005 at a rate of approximately 20%
per year and product cost reduction achieved through purchasing and volume
efficiencies.  Management feels this projection is achievable considering the
size of the retail pharmacy market ($84 billion), the growth rate of competitors
in the industry, and based on growth estimates of companies participating in the
industry.

If management's assumptions prove too optimistic, an impairment charge, based on
an undiscounted cash flow analysis, would result.  The impairment charge would
be computed based on the excess of carrying value over the fair value of assets.
This would result in a valuation adjustment to the $1,346,000 of property, plant
and equipment and $3,649,000 in unamortized goodwill and other intangible
assets.

Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that the results of the impairment test
may change in the future and an impairment loss may result.
