                                  ---------

A. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
   statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
   accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
   Company as of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995 together with the
   results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended
   December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The consolidated results of operations for
   the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are not
   necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 
   Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
   current year presentation.

B. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
   consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 1995
   Annual Report and Report on Form 10-K.

C. On June 28, 1995 the Company announced a three-for-two stock split of the
   Company's common stock effective August 15, 1995 for shareholders of
   record at the close of business on July 31, 1995.  The par value of the
   new shares issued totaled $20,004,000 and has been transferred from
   additional paid in capital to the common stock account.  The weighted
   average shares outstanding and the earnings and dividends per share
   reflected in these financial statements give effect to the stock split.

D. On October 11, 1995 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
   acquire UDL Laboratories, Inc. (UDL).  UDL is the premier supplier of unit
   dose generic pharmaceuticals to the institutional and long term care
   markets.  UDL has its corporate headquarters in Rockford, Illinois and
   maintains manufacturing, research and development and distribution
   facilities in Rockford, Illinois as well as Largo, Florida.

   The transaction, which is expected to be completed by early 1996, will be
   accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Payment of
   approximately $47,500,000 will be made through the issuance of newly
   registered common stock of the Company.

E. In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
   of Financial Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". 
   The new standard defines a fair value method of accounting for stock
   options which results in compensation cost based on hypothetical changes
   in the future price of the Company's stock and other assumptions. 
   Pursuant to the new standard, the Company is not required to adopt such
   standard and may continue to account for these transactions under
   Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
   to Employees".  The Company has not yet determined if it will elect to
   change to the fair value method nor has it determined the effect the new
   standard will have on net income and earnings per share should it elect to
   make such a change.

F. On September 29, 1995 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with
   Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc. (HMR) (formerly known as Marion Merrell Dow
   Inc.) and Tanabe Seiyaku Co. LTD (Tanabe) as discussed in Item 3 of the
   Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1995.  The agreement
   releases all parties from any further actions and suits as it relates to
   the manufacture of diltiazem.  In consideration for such settlement HMR
   and Tanabe agreed to reimburse all of Mylan's defense costs incurred to
   date.  The amount paid to Mylan was recorded as Other Income in the second
   quarter.

G. On September 12, 1995 the Company enhanced its strategic alliance with
   VivoRx, Inc. (VivoRx), a California biotechnology company.  VivoRx has
   developed a diabetes control technology, which is in FDA Phase I/II
   clinical trials.

   The Company has been funding VivoRx's research for encapsulated pancreatic
   islet cell transplants based on the attainment of milestones contained in
   equity and licensing agreements.  The licensing agreement grants the
   Company exclusive rights to market and sell this product in North America. 
   Following significant product development accomplishments, the Company
   expanded its commitment by investing $15,000,000 in convertible preferred
   stock of VivoRx.  The Company's investment is recorded at cost in Other
   Assets.

H. Equity in Earnings of Somerset includes the Company's 50% portion of the
   net earnings of Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Somerset), certain
   management fees and amortization of intangible assets resulting from the
   acquisition of Somerset.  Such intangible assets are being amortized over
   a 15 year period using the straight line method.

                ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

   Net sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995 were
$91,319,000 and $298,226,000 representing a 12% decrease and a 4% increase
over the prior year comparable periods.  Volume increases in all areas of the
Company's business were offset in the current quarter by continued pricing
pressures on the generic products particularly those introduced during
fiscal 1995.

   Gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased from 55% and 58% for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1994 to 48% and 52% for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1995.  The higher rates for the prior
periods was due to the launch of three significant products, cimetidine,
glipizide and flurbiprofen.  Due to the competitive nature of the generic
pharmaceutical industry the sales and gross margin recognized for the three
and nine months ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected in future quarters.

   Research and development expenditures for the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1995 increased 38% to $10,948,000 and 35% to $28,560,000
over the prior year comparable periods.  These increases are indicative of
commitments to product development throughout the Company.

   Selling and administrative expenses were 15% and 14% of net sales for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to 14% and 16% for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1994.

   Somerset's contribution to net earnings per share for the three and nine
month periods was $.06 and $.15 in both 1995 and 1994.  Due to changes in a
co-promotion agreement the decrease in net sales of Eldepryl  has been offset
by a decrease in co-promotion expense for the three and nine month periods
ended December 31, 1995.  The amended co-promotion agreement expires on
March 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Condition
- ---------------------------------------------------------
   Working capital increased from $275,032,000 at March 31, 1995 to
$319,439,000 at December 31, 1995 as a result of continued strong operations. 
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 7.9 to 1 at December
31, 1995 and 5.9 to 1 at March 31, 1995.

   Net cash provided from operating activities was $72,567,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1995 compared to $106,603,000 for the same period
last year.  The change is primarily related to the timing of income tax
payments, increased research and development expenditures and reduced gross
profit dollars resulting from generic price deterioration.

   Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to $25,444,000 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1995.  Capital expenditures are principally
related to the replacement of older properties with more updated equipment
and facility expansion including ongoing construction of a 150,000 square
foot research facility in Morgantown, West Virginia.  Additionally the
Company has acquired land adjacent to its existing manufacturing facility in
Morgantown and has started expansion of that facility to meet the continued
increase in demand for the Company's product.

   The increase in intangible and other assets is due principally to the
investment in VivoRx as described in Note G to the financial statements.
