1. Basis of Presentation
   
   The consolidated financial statements include  the accounts
   of Barr Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
   (the "Company" or "Barr").

   In  the  opinion of the Management of the Company, the interim
   consolidated  financial  statements include  all  adjustments,
   consisting  only  of  normal recurring adjustments,  necessary
   for a fair presentation of the financial position, results  of
   operations  and  cash flows for the interim  periods.  Interim
   results  are  not necessarily indicative of the  results  that
   may  be  expected for a full year.  These financial statements
   should  be  read  in  conjunction with  the  Company's  Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995.

   Certain  amounts in prior  years' financial  statements have been
   reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
   
2. Inventories

   Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands of dollars):

                                   		 	 September 30, June 30,
					                                       1995        1995
								
       Raw materials and supplies          $13,555    $17,470
       Work-in-process                       6,079      4,520
       Finished goods                       11,417     13,900
                                   					   $31,051    $35,890
					   
   Tamoxifen  Citrate, purchased as a finished product, accounted
   for  approximately $6,899 and $9,966 of finished goods  as  of
   September 30, 1995 and June 30, 1995, respectively.


3. Earnings Per Common Share and Common Share Equivalents

   For  the three month period ended September 30, 1995, earnings
   per  common  and  common equivalent shares  were  computed  by
   dividing  the  earnings  applicable to  common  stock  by  the
    weighted   average  number  of  common  and  dilutive   common
   equivalent  shares  outstanding during  the  period.  For  the
   three  month  period  ended September 30, 1994,  earnings  per
   common   share   were  computed  by  dividing   the   earnings
   applicable to common stock by the weighted average  number  of
   common  shares outstanding during the period.   In  1994,  the
   effects  of  stock  options outstanding  and  the  convertible
   subordinated debt and related interest adjustment to  earnings
   were excluded as they resulted in less than 3% dilution.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

   As  of  September  30, 1995 and June 30, 1995,  approximately
   $34,029 and $41,143, respectively, of the Company's cash  was
   held  in  a  cash collateral account to secure  extension  of
   credit  to it by the manufacturer of Tamoxifen Citrate.  (See
   Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition
   and   Results   of  Operations  --  Liquidity   and   Capital
   Resources.)


5. Commitments and Contingencies

   Litigation
   The  Company, at September 30, 1995, was involved in  lawsuits
   incidental  to  its  business, including  patent  infringement
   actions.   Management, based on the advice of  legal  counsel,
   believes that the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits  will
   not  have  any  significant adverse effect  on  the  Company's
   consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Quarter Ended September 30, 1995
to the Quarter Ended September 30, 1994 - (thousands of dollars)

Net sales increased 23% to $54,176 from $44,047.  The increase is
attributable  to  a  continued increase in demand  for  Tamoxifen
Citrate ("Tamoxifen"), the breast cancer treatment distributed by
the Company.

Tamoxifen  sales  increased 35%  to $39,890  from  $29,628.   The
growth  primarily resulted from increases in the Company's market
share.  Tamoxifen  is  a patented product  manufactured  for  the
Company by the Innovator, and is distributed by the Company under
a non-exclusive license agreement with the Innovator.  Currently,
Tamoxifen only competes against the Innovator's product, which is
sold  under  a  brand name.  Sales of Barr-manufactured  products
were  consistent with prior year's sales as additional volume  of
several  Barr products offset price reductions impacting  certain
other products.

Gross  profit  increased to $10,717 from $9,944 due to  increased
sales  volume.   However,  the  gross  margin  decreased   as   a
percentage  of net sales to 19.8% from 22.6%.  This  decrease  is
primarily  attributed  to  lower  gross  margins  earned  on  the
distribution   of  Tamoxifen  compared  to  margins   earned   on
manufactured  products, and by reduced prices on certain  of  the
Company's   manufactured  products  due  primarily  to  increased
competition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to  $5,060
from $4,192, yet remained relatively constant as a percentage  of
net sales as was expected, due to the significant increase in net
sales.   This  increase  of  $868  is  primarily  attributed   to
increased legal fees resulting from Barr's patent challenges, and
in   particular   preparation  for  the   trial   regarding   the
Ciprofloxacin   challenge;  increased  salaries  resulting   from
additions  in  headcount; and, additional depreciation  resulting
from implementation of a new core computer system.

Total  research and development expenses were virtually unchanged
from the prior year's levels, despite an increase in salaries and
related  costs  associated with the addition  of  scientists  and
higher  raw  material costs associated with an  increase  in  the
number  of products under development when compared to the  prior
year.  These increases were offset by a decrease in amounts  paid
to  outside laboratories to conduct biostudies.  Such a  decrease
was  expected  since the prior year's amounts  included  biostudy
costs  for  conjugated  estrogens.  The  number,  complexity  and
associated  costs  of  biostudies for  conjugated  estrogens  are
greater  than  those  for  most other  products  currently  under
development.

Interest income more than doubled, increasing to $684 from  $316,
due  to  a  40% increase in the average cash and cash  equivalent
balance  in  comparison to the same period in the prior  year  as
well  as  an  increase  in  the rate of return  earned  on  those
investments.

Interest  expense declined by $275 due primarily to the reduction
in  long-term  debt  from  the February 1995  conversion  of  $10
million in Convertible Subordinated Notes into Barr common stock.

The  tax provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, were calculated at an effective tax rate of 39%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $52,812 at September
30,  1995,  down slightly compared to $52,987 at June  30,  1995.
However,  the  Company's unrestricted cash increased   nearly  $7
million  to approximately $19 million from June 30, 1995, as  the
cash  held in a cash collateral account to secure credit extended
to the Company by the Innovator of Tamoxifen decreased to $34,029
from  $41,143  at  June  30,  1995.  The  decrease  in  the  cash
collateral  account  reflects slightly lower Tamoxifen  purchases
during  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1995,  compared   to
purchases  made  in  the last quarter of  fiscal  1995  when  the
Company  increased purchases in order to even-out  its  inventory
levels.  The Company continues to evaluate alternatives to  using
cash  to  secure this payable, including obtaining  a  letter  of
credit  facility to provide standby letters of credit  to  secure
future Tamoxifen purchases. The Company believes that it has  the
right to replace the cash collateral with letters of credit  once
such  a facility is obtained.  The Company further believes  that
such  a  line will allow the Company to utilize a portion of  its
existing  escrow  funds  to  help  fund  operations  and  capital
expenditures.

Cash  provided from operating activities was $1,167 for the three
months  ended September 30, 1995, which included net earnings  of
$2,201.  Additionally, reductions in inventory of $4,839 as  well
as  non-cash  charges (depreciation and amortization)  of  $1,225
offset reductions in payables, primarily due to payments for  the
prior quarter's Tamoxifen purchases.

The  Company purchased $1,857 in capital assets during the  three
months  ended September 30, 1995.  An expansion of the  Company's
manufacturing  facilities  and  the  purchase  of  new  equipment
accounted  for  the majority of these expenditures.  The  Company
expects  that its capital expenditures may increase significantly
during  the  remaining quarters of fiscal 1996. This  anticipated
increase   will  be  primarily  associated  with  the   continued
expansion of the Company's manufacturing facilities including the
acquisition or construction of a new multi-purpose facility.  The
Company is currently evaluating alternatives for financing   this
facility and the related machinery and equipment.

Management believes that existing capital resources, along with
the Company's ability to obtain additional capital, if required,
will be adequate to meet its needs for the foreseeable future.
