1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 1994. For further
information refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1993.

FOREST LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY The financial condition of the Company
continues to be strong. The increase in cash and accounts receivable resulted
from the increase in sales and profits due to the continued strong growth of
the Company's principal promoted products and the launch of Flumadine , which
is used for the treatment and prophylaxis of Influenza A. The decrease in
long-term marketable securities was due to the maturity of long-term bonds of
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The decrease in deferred income taxes resulted
from the Company utilizing a portion of tax benefit carryforwards. The increase
in property, plant and equipment was primarily the result of the Company's
expansion of its' facilities in St. Louis, Missouri and Dublin, Ireland.
Increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses were attributable to an
increase in the level of the Company's overall operations resulting primarily
from higher sales. The increase in license agreements was due principally to
the final license fee payment made by the Company at the time of the Flumadine
launch. The decrease in income tax payable resulted from the Company recording
a tax benefit from the exercise of employee stock options.
The Company is in the process of expanding its facilities in Long Island, New
York, and Dublin, Ireland. This expansion will increase the Company's
manufacturing and warehousing capacity for its existing and future products.
Management believes that current cash levels coupled with funds to be generated
by on-going operations will adequately support these capital expenditures and
should facilitate potential acquisitions of products or companies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the three and nine month periods ended
December 31,1993 increased $21,524,000 and $48,006,000, respectively, as
compared with the same periods last year. For the three months, the increase
was attributed principally to the introduction by the Company, during the
quarter, of Flumadine ($10,500,000 of such increase). Net volume growth of the
Company's principal promoted products and specialty release generic products
amounted to $7,643,000 and $30,339,000 for the three and nine months,
respectively. Sales volume of the Company's unpromoted product lines increased
$3,401,000 and $4,919,000 respectively. Foreign exchange translation rate
declines reduced net sales by $744,000 for the quarter and $5,919,000 for the
nine months. The remainder of the net sales increases were attributed to price
increases during both periods.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales remained constant at 18% for the current
quarter compared with the same period last year. For the nine month period,
cost of sales decreased to 18% from 19% due principally to changes in product
mix and volume increases.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expense during the current
three and nine month periods as compared with the prior year resulted
principally from increased marketing activities related to the Company's
principal promoted products and the launch costs for the introduction of
Flumadine . As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative
expense did not change as compared with the same periods last year.
Research and development expense increased during the current quarter and nine
months over the same periods last year principally due to the cost of conducting
clinical trials for Synapton and Monurol . Synapton is the Company's controlled
release formulation of physostigmine, and is being tested for the treatment of
Alzheimer's Disease. Monurol is a single dose antibiotic used for the treatment
of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. The Company anticipates further
increases in research and development expense as a result of continued clinical
studies on these and other products in development.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
-----------------
In addition to the similar proceedings described in the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1993, the Company has been served in approximately 10 additional
actions in various federal district courts. In each case, the
actions were filed against many pharmaceutical manufacturers and
suppliers and allege price discrimination and conspiracy to fix
prices in the sale of pharmaceutical products in violation of
federal law. The actions were brought by various pharmacies and
seek injunctive relief and monetary damages. On February 4, 1994,
the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation has ordered these
actions consolidated for coordinated proceedings in the Federal
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends
to defend them vigorously.
Item 6. (b) Reports on Form 8-K - None.
