Report of Independent Accountants
To the Participants and Administrator of the
King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

| 1. | Description of Plan | |
| The following description of the King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. | ||
| General The Plan is a defined contribution plan, established by King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) as of January 1, 1994, under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) covering substantially all employees who have completed a minimum of one hour of service and are at least 21 years of age. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). | ||
| Contributions Participation in the plan is voluntary. Active participants can contribute up to 17% of earnings or $10,500, whichever is lower, to the Plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 402(g). The Company contributes a discretionary matching percentage of the participant’s eligible contributions for the Plan year. Participant rollovers are reported as participant contributions. | ||
| Vesting Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s matching contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after 3 years of credited service. | ||

| King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Common Stock Fidelity Advisor Intermediate Bond Fund Fidelity Institutional Cash U.S. Government Money Market Fidelity Puritan Fund Vanguard Institutional Index Fund Janus Worldwide Fund Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Fund Fidelity Institutional Domestic Money Market Vanguard Equity Income Fund Vanguard Growth Index Fund FAM Value Fund Lazard International Equity Portfolio Fund |

| Participant accounts Participant accounts are credited with units by investment fund for participant contributions, employer contributions, fund transfers or loan repayments. Unit values are calculated daily to reflect the gains or losses of the underlying fund investments and expenses. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the units in the participant’s fund multiplied by the appropriate unit values on the valuation date limited to the amount which can be provided from the participant’s vested account. | ||
| Participant loans receivable Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. The loan repayment term is for a period not to exceed 5 years or up to 10 years if the purpose of the loan is to acquire a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s accounts and bear interest at a rate of Prime plus 1%. Interest rates on outstanding loans range from 5.75% to 10.50% as of December 31, 2001. Interest earned on principal loans receivable is allocated directly to a participant directed fund. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions. | ||
| Benefit payments Vested benefits of retired, disabled, or terminated employees are distributed as a single lump-sum payment or as installment payments over a fixed period of time and are recorded when paid. | ||
| Forfeitures The cumulative forfeitures balance of $278,392 as of December 31, 2001 is available to reduce future employer contributions. | ||
| 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies | |
| Basis of accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. | ||
| Investment valuation and income recognition The Plan invests in mutual funds and common stocks. Each fund is valued at quoted market prices to determine a current fund value. Investments in securities for which exchange quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or, if not for sale, at the closing bid price. | ||
| Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend basis. The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. |

Notes to Financial Statements
| Realized gains and losses are recognized, as reported by the trustee, when units of the funds are sold. The average cost method is used in determining the costs of the units sold. | ||
| Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
| Plan termination Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions and terminate the Plan. Upon a complete or partial termination of the Plan, the account of each affected participant will fully vest. The form and timing of payment will be as determined under the Plan at the time of Plan termination. | ||
| Administrative costs Certain fees for professional services provided to the Plan in 2001 and 2000 have been paid by the Company. Additionally, personnel and facilities of the Plan sponsor have been used by the Plan for its administrative activities at no cost to the Plan. | ||
| Risks and Uncertainties The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of the investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. | ||
| 3. | Tax status | |
| The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated November 12, 1996 that the Plan is qualified and that the trust established under the Plan is tax exempt under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended subsequent to the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements. |
