                                     PART I

ITEM 1.           Business

     Mylan Laboratories Inc., a Pennsylvania  corporation  incorporated in 1970,
and its  subsidiaries  (herein  referred to  collectively  as the "Company") are
engaged in the development,  manufacturing  and  distribution of  pharmaceutical
products for resale by others.  References  herein to fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994
mean the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Through  its  subsidiary,   Mylan  Pharmaceuticals  Inc.,  the  Company  is
recognized  as one of  the  leaders  in  the  generic  pharmaceutical  industry.
Pharmaceutical  products  initially sold on an exclusive  basis are known in the
industry as proprietary or branded products.  Generic drugs are  therapeutically
equivalent to their brand name  counterparts  and are  generally  sold at prices
significantly less than branded products. Accordingly,  generics provide a safe,
effective and cost efficient alternative to users of these products.

     The Company  manufactures  substantially  all of its oral dose  products in
either its Mylan Pharmaceuticals subsidiary's Morgantown, West Virginia facility
or its subsidiary  Mylan Inc.'s  facility in Caguas,  Puerto Rico. To facilitate
timely  delivery  of  products  to  customers  in all fifty  states the  Company
operates distribution centers in Greensboro, North Carolina and Reno, Nevada.

     Due to the non-exclusive  nature of generic products,  the generic industry
is comprised of numerous  competitors  including  manufacturers who market their
products under their own name,  distributors who market products manufactured by
others and brand name companies, who in recent years market their products under
both the brand  name and as the  generic  substitute.  This  diversity  provides
significant price competition within the generic  pharmaceutical  industry which
generally  results in decreasing  prices of generic  products over time to those
who supply such products to the retail market.

     The Company has entered  into  strategic  alliances  with  several  branded
pharmaceutical  companies.  These alliances  through  distribution and licensing
agreements  provide the Company with additional  products to further broaden the
Company's  product line.  In addition,  the Company has entered into an alliance
with VivoRx,  Inc. a  biotechnology  company  developing  pancreatic  islet cell
implant  technology  for the  management  of diabetes.  VivoRx has  successfully
implanted  three  patients  with human  islets and has recently had U.S.Food and
Drug   Administration   ("FDA")  acceptance  of  an  Investigational   New  Drug
Application for the use of porcine  (pancreas)  islets in future  implants.  The
early proof of principal  has already been  demonstrated  in two patients in New
Zealand who received  porcine  islet  implants in May of this year.  The Company
continues to examine  other  alliances as a way to grow and react in the rapidly
changing health care arena.








     In  June  1989,   the   Company   acquired  a  50%   interest  in  Somerset
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  ("Somerset").  Pursuant  to a license  agreement  with a
Hungarian pharmaceutical company, Somerset has exclusive marketing rights to the
product Eldepryl(R) in the United States and certain other countries. Commercial
shipments of the product by Somerset commenced in late August 1989.

     Under the Orphan Drug Act,  Somerset had exclusivity  relating to marketing
the  chemical  compound  Eldepryl(R)  for  use as a  treatment  for  late  stage
Parkinson's  disease through June 6, 1996. There has been no generic competition
to date; however, with the onset of competition,  Somerset's contribution to the
Company's net earnings will be adversely affected. Somerset is actively involved
in  research  projects  regarding  additional  uses of this and  other  chemical
compounds. As a result of one project,  Somerset recently received FDA clearance
to market Eldepryl in a new  easy-to-identify  capsule. As new projects continue
through  the  development  process  the  Company  expects  related  expenses  to
escalate.

     In October 1991, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company merged with Dow
Hickam Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. ("Hickam"),  an established branded pharmaceutical
company  located in Sugar Land,  Texas.  Hickam  currently  manufactures  and/or
markets specialty  pharmaceutical products and devices used principally as wound
care treatments through its nation-wide sales force.

     On February 25, 1993,  the Company  acquired  substantially  all of the net
assets of Bertek, Inc. ("Bertek").  Bertek, headquartered in St. Albans, Vermont
is a manufacturer of transdermal  drug delivery  systems and also has operations
in laminating,  coatings and label  manufacturing.  In addition  Bertek provides
components,  using  internally  developed  technology  for  transdermal  patches
marketed by other companies. Bertek is actively involved in development projects
to provide new transdermal products.

     On February 28, 1996, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company  acquired
100% of the outstanding  stock of 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 as well as Largo, Florida.

     On June 14, 1996, the Company executed a series of agreements with American
Home  Products  Corporation  ("AHP")  relating to the  products  Maxzide(R)  and
Maxzide-25MG  (R). In general  these  agreements  will  terminate  the  existing
license  agreements  between  the Company  and  Lederle  Laboratories  which had
previously  marketed the  products.  Subject to receiving  antitrust  clearance,
Maxzide(R) and Maxzide-25MG(R) will be marketed by a subsidiary of the Company.








     Under the terms of the  agreement,  the Company  shall pay to AHP specified
amounts over a five year period  commencing at the  effective  date. In addition
the Company  shall pay to AHP a royalty  predicated  on sales for use of certain
trademarks  during a five year  period with  specified  minimum  annual  royalty
payments.  At the end of such  period  all  royalty  obligations  will cease and
ownership of the trademarks will be transferred to the Company.

     The companies have agreed that AHP will retain  marketing rights in certain
foreign  countries  under a modified  International  Supply  Agreement  with the
Company.  Additionally,  the companies  have agreed that for a three year period
the  Company  shall pay AHP  certain  amounts  predicated  on the  gross  profit
realized  by the  Company  on its  sales  of a  generic  Dyazide(R)  product  to
unrelated  parties.  Previously,  the license agreements with AHP prohibited the
Company  from  marketing  a  triamterene  and  hydrochlorothiazide  product.  In
connection  with these  agreements,  the  Company  and AHP  agreed to  terminate
certain litigation. See Item 3.

Products

     The information on the Company's product line set forth on pages 21, 29, 33
and 37 of the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended March 31, 1996 is
incorporated  herein  by  reference.   All  pharmaceutical   products  presently
manufactured by the Company have been previously developed and marketed by other
firms with the exception of Maxzide(R), Maxzide (R)-25MG and Cystagon TM.

     The Company is required to secure and  maintain  approval  from the FDA for
the products and dosage forms which it manufactures.  The number of products and
dosage forms for which the Company is an approved  manufacturer  has expanded in
recent years. See "New Product Approvals".

     During fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994  approximately  $38,913,000,  $30,533,000
and $21,648,000,  respectively, were expensed by the Company for the development
of formulations and procedures for products which it desires to produce,  use or
sell. The Company's research and development  efforts are conducted primarily to
qualify the Company to manufacture ethical  pharmaceuticals  under FDA standards
and approval.  Recently  this has included  increased  spending for  transdermal
delivery system technology and innovator  compounds  including  pancreatic islet
cell  implant  technology.  As  these  products  continue  to move  through  the
development  process  expenses  related to their  development  will  continue to
increase.

New Product Approvals

     During fiscal 1996, four approvals were received from the FDA. Two of which
were  received in the last weeks of the year and had very  little  effect on net
sales or gross  margins for the year.  In June 1996,  the Company  received  FDA
approval for triamterene and  hydrochlorothiazide,  the generic version of Smith
Kline  Beecham's  Dyazide(R).  The Company  presently  has requests for approval
pending before the FDA representing  sixteen products of varying  strengths.  In
addition the Company has five  Investigational  New Drug applications filed with
the FDA for new innovator compounds.






Customers and Markets

     The Company sells its products to  proprietary  and ethical  pharmaceutical
wholesalers and distributors,  drug store chains,  drug manufacturers and public
and governmental  agencies.  No single customer represented more than 10% of net
sales in 1996, 1995 or 1994.

     A majority of the  Company's  products  are marketed to food and drug store
chains and to pharmaceutical distributors and wholesalers, who in turn market to
retailers,  managed care entities,  hospitals and government  agencies.  Certain
other  products  are marketed to  institutional  accounts who in turn obtain the
products from pharmaceutical  distributors and wholesalers.  The Company's sales
activities  involve limited public promotion of its products.  Approximately 162
employees of the Company are engaged full-time in selling products and servicing
customers.

Competition

     The Company sells to various markets and classes of customers. With respect
to each of the various  products it sells, the Company believes it is subject to
active  competition  from numerous firms.  The four primary means of competition
are  services,  quality of  products,  approval for  manufacture  by the FDA and
price.  The competition  experienced by the Company varies among the markets and
classes of customers.  The Company has experienced  additional  competition from
brand-name competitors who have entered the generic  pharmaceutical  industry by
creating generic  subsidiaries,  purchasing generic companies or licensing their
products prior to or as their product's patents expire.

Product Liability

     Product  liability suits by consumers  represent a continuing risk to firms
in the  pharmaceutical  industry.  The Company strives to minimize such risks by
stringent quality control procedures. Although the Company carries insurance, it
believes that no reasonable amount of insurance can fully protect it against all
such risks  because of the  potential  liability  inherent  in the  business  of
producing pharmaceuticals for human consumption.

Raw Materials

     The chemical  ingredients  and other  materials  and  supplies  used in the
Company's  pharmaceutical  manufacturing  operations are generally available and
purchased  from many different  foreign and domestic  suppliers.  However,  some
products may have only one source approved by the FDA for certain pharmaceutical
ingredients used in their manufacturing  process. If this material was no longer
available,  qualifying  a new  supplier  could delay the  manufacturing  of such
products.  During fiscal 1995 there was a limited supply of raw materials to all
generic   manufacturers   of  cimetidine  a  product  which  had  a  significant
contribution  to the  Company's net sales and gross profit for the year. In 1996
this same raw material was readily available and led to severe pricing pressures
resulting in a decline in gross profit on cimetidine.






     With regards to foreign suppliers, recent and pending regulatory action may
make obtaining raw materials prior to patent expiration  increasingly difficult.
This could delay the Company's  ability to develop,  manufacture  and obtain FDA
approval to market certain new products.

Regulation

     The Company's  operations are subject to regulation under the Federal Food,
Drug and  Cosmetic  Act,  pursuant  to which  government  standards  as to "good
manufacturing practice",  product content,  purity, labeling,  effectiveness and
recordkeeping (among other things) must be observed. In this regard, the FDA has
extensive regulatory powers over the activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

     The  Company is also  subject to  inspection  and  regulation  under  other
federal and state legislation relating to drugs,  narcotics and alcohol. Many of
its  suppliers  and  customers,  as well as the drug  industry in  general,  are
subject to the same or similar governmental regulations.

     The President  signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act ("URAA") in
December 1994.  URAA which took effect on June 8, 1995  implemented  the General
Agreement of Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"). One change in U.S. law required by GATT
is the  amendment  of patent law to  reflect a patent  term of 20 years from the
date of filing the application  instead of the current term of 17 years from the
date of issuance.  URAA extended the  requirement by allowing the application of
this provision to all patents in force on June 8, 1995.

     Congress  recognized  the potential harm in this  requirement  and provided
that a potential competitor who has already made a "substantial investment" in a
competing  product could make,  use and sell its product after the expiration of
the  original  patent  period  provided  that they pay the  patentee  "equitable
remuneration" through the extended patent period. However, the FDA has taken the
position that it cannot approve an Abbreviated  New Drug  Application  ("ANDA"),
which  certifies  the date of patent  expiration,  until the  expiration  of the
extended patent period.  The extension of patent protection may delay the launch
of future products by the Company.

     The Company, other generic drug manufacturers and concerned citizens groups
are  continuing  their efforts to convince  Congress to pass  legislation  which
would  allow the FDA to approve  applications  on the  passage  of the  original
expiration date.

     It is  impossible  for the  Company  to  predict  the  extent  to which its
operations  will be affected under the  regulations  discussed  above or any new
regulations which may be adopted by regulatory agencies.







Employees

     The Company employs approximately 1,733 persons,  approximately 800 of whom
serve in clerical, sales and management capacities. The remainder are engaged in
production and maintenance activities.

     The production  and  maintenance  employees at the Company's  manufacturing
facilities in Morgantown,  West Virginia,  are represented by the Oil,  Chemical
and Atomic Workers International Union (AFL-CIO) and its Local Union 8-957 under
a contract which expires April 5, 1998.

Backlog

     At March 31, 1996,  the  uncompleted  portions of the Company's  backlog of
orders was approximately $9,747,000 as compared to approximately  $20,979,000 at
March 31, 1995 and  $12,543,000  at March 31,  1994.  Because of the  relatively
short lead time required in filling  orders for its  products,  the Company does
not believe these interim backlog  amounts bear a significant  relation to sales
or income for any full twelve-month period.


ITEM 2.           Properties

     The Company  operates  from  various  facilities  in the United  States and
Puerto Rico having an aggregate of approximately 1,164,000 square feet.

     Mylan  Pharmaceuticals  owns production,  warehouse,  laboratory and office
facilities  in  four   buildings  in   Morgantown,   West  Virginia   containing
approximately   440,000  square  feet.   Mylan   Pharmaceuticals   operates  two
distribution centers, one in Greensboro, North Carolina containing approximately
64,000  square  feet  which  it  owns  and  one  in  Reno,   Nevada   containing
approximately 25,000 square feet under a lease expiring in 1997. Currently under
construction in Morgantown,  West Virginia is a 27,000 square foot manufacturing
addition.

     Mylan Inc.  owns a production  and office  facility in Caguas,  Puerto Rico
containing approximately 115,000 square feet and a production facility in Cidra,
Puerto Rico containing approximately 32,000 square feet.

     Dow Hickam  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  owns  production,  warehouse and office
facilities in two buildings in Sugar Land, Texas containing approximately 70,000
square  feet.  Hickam also  operates a filling and  packaging  facility in Sugar
Land, Texas containing  approximately  15,000 square feet under a lease expiring
in 1996.

     Bertek owns production, warehouse, laboratory and office facilities in five
buildings in Swanton and St. Albans,  Vermont containing  approximately  178,000
square feet. Bertek also operates a coating and extrusion facility in St. Albans
containing approximately 71,000 square feet under a lease expiring in 2015.







     UDL owns production,  laboratory and office  facilities in two buildings in
Rockford,  Illinois and Largo,  Florida containing  approximately  92,000 square
feet.  UDL  also  has  distribution  facilities  at  both  locations  containing
approximately 61,000 square feet under leases expiring in 1996 and 2004.

     The Company's  production  equipment  includes that equipment  necessary to
produce and package  tablet,  capsule,  aerosol,  transdermal  and powder dosage
forms.  The Company  maintains six analytical  testing  laboratories for quality
control.

     The  Company's  facilities  are  operated  primarily  on a two shift basis.
Properties   and  equipment  are  well   maintained  and  adequate  for  present
operations.

     The Company's  corporate  offices,  containing  approximately  7,200 square
feet,  are located at 130 Seventh  Street,  1030 Century  Building,  Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, and are occupied under a lease expiring in 2000.

ITEM 3.           Legal Proceedings

     In 1990, the Company filed a complaint  against  American  Cyanamid Company
("Cyanamid")  claiming,  among other  things,  that  Cyanamid had  underpaid the
Company  under  a  marketing   agreement  relating  to  Mylan's  Maxzide(R)  and
Maxzide-25MG(r)  products.  Cyanamid counterclaimed against the Company alleging
fraudulent  inducement  and breach of  contract  relating to the  agreement  and
against the Company's former chairman alleging defamation.

     During  1994,  the jury in this  lawsuit  ruled in favor of Cyanamid on the
Company's complaint and in favor of the Company on Cyanamid's counterclaims, and
the judge dismissed the defamation  counterclaim.  No money damages were awarded
to either party.  Both parties  appealed and the Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit  affirmed  the  jury's  action in all  respects.  However,  the  judge's
decision to dismiss the defamation  counterclaim was reversed. On June 14, 1996,
in connection with negotiating a series of agreements relating to Maxzide(R) and
Maxzide-25MG(R)  as  described in Item 1, the parties  agreed to terminate  this
litigation, including the defamation counterclaim.

     On November 24, 1992,  Hoechst Marion Roussel Inc. ("HMR")  (formerly known
as Marion  Merrell  Dow) and Tanabe  Seiyaku  Co. LTD  ("Tanabe")  filed suit in
Federal  District  Court for the Western  District of  Pennsylvania  against the
Company  and  its  wholly-owned   subsidiary  Mylan   Pharmaceuticals   claiming
infringement of Tanabe's  patent for the manufacture of diltiazem.  On September
29, 1995,  the Company  entered into a settlement  agreement  which 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 defense costs incurred by the Company.








     On September  7, 1994,  Upsher-Smith  Laboratories  filed suit in Minnesota
State  Court  against  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,   Mylan
Pharmaceuticals  Inc.  The suit alleges  breach of  contract,  breach of implied
contract,  detrimental reliance and promissory estoppel with respect to the sale
and   distribution  of  cimetidine.   The  suit  claims  damages  in  excess  of
$13,000,000. A trial date has been set for July, 1996. The Company believes this
lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position.

     During 1996, Bertek was involved in an arbitration  matter unrelated to the
pharmaceutical business. On May 2, 1996, the arbitration panel issued a decision
against Bertek for approximately  $4,000,000.  No accrual for loss has been made
as of March 31,  1996.  The Company has  appealed  this matter and  believes the
ultimate  resolution  of this  matter  will not have a  material  effect  on the
financial statements of the Company.

     While  it  is  not  feasible  to  predict  the  ultimate  outcome  of  such
proceedings it is the opinion of management that the outcome of these suits will
have no material adverse effect on the Company's operation,  financial position,
or liquidity.

Pennsylvania corporation (hereinafter called the "Corporation"),

                                      A
                                        N
                                          D

JOHANNA  PUSKAR PRATT,  or her  successors,  as Trustee of the Milan Puskar
Irrevocable  Trust Agreement dated as of February 13, 1995  (hereinafter  called
the "Trustee").

                          W I T N E S S E T H T H A T:

     WHEREAS, Milan Puskar is a valuable employee of the Corporation; and

     WHEREAS,  the Trustee has applied for and owns the life insurance  policies
on the life of Milan Puskar  which are listed on Schedule  "A"  attached  hereto
(the"Policies"); and

     WHEREAS,  the  Corporation  desires to assist in paying the premiums on the
Policies; and

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to create a split-dollar arrangement to provide
for the  payment of premiums  on the  Policies  and to assure that the amount of
premiums paid by the Corporation  with respect to the Policies will be repaid to
the Corporation at the death of Milan Puskar, if not earlier; and

     WHEREAS,  the repayment of premiums paid by the Corporation with respect to
the Policies  will be secured by a collateral  assignment of the Policies to the
Corporation.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter set forth, the Corporation and the Trustee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Policies. The Policies which are subject to this Agreement are listed on
Schedule "A" attached hereto. Any additional  insurance contracts on the life of
Milan Puskar which become subject to this Agreement  shall be listed on Schedule
"A" as they become subject to this Agreement.

     2.  Ownership of Policies.  The Trustee  shall have custody of the Policies
subject  to this  Agreement  and  shall be the sole and  exclusive  owner of the
Policies,  subject,  however,  to the right of the Corporation to borrow against
the Policies as set forth in paragraph 10 or to the return of any funds advanced
by it for payment of the  premiums  or other  amounts  paid with  respect to the
Policies upon the death of Milan Puskar or the  termination  of this  Agreement.
Except as to the  security  interest  specifically  granted  to the  Corporation
herein,  the  Trustee  retains  all  incidents  of  ownership  in the  Policies,
including the right to borrow or withdraw  against the  Policies.  The Trustee's
right to borrow  shall be limited to an amount  equal to the maximum  loan value
reduced by an amount equal to the cumulative premiums on the Policies paid by
the


                                        1


Corporation  hereunder.  The Trustee's right to withdraw from the Policies'
cash  values  shall  likewise  be reduced by an amount  equal to the  cumulative
premiums on the Policies paid by the Corporation  hereunder.  Milan Puskar shall
not have any rights, powers or incidents of ownership in the Policies.

     3. Beneficiary.  The Trustee has designated the Trust as the beneficiary of
the proceeds of the Policies.

     4.  Dividend  Options.  The  Trustee  may elect and  continue in force such
dividend  options,  if any, as are provided  under the Policies and  accordingly
therewith the dividends may be used by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee
deems appropriate, such as to purchase paid up additions, to purchase additional
term insurance, or to reduce premiums.

     5. Payment of Premiums.  The premiums on the Policies  shall be paid in the
following manner:

          (a) The Trustee  shall have the option with  respect to each  calendar
     year or portion thereof that this Agreement is in effect to contribute that
     portion of the premiums  under the Policies  equal to the lesser of (i) the
     rate  established by the Internal Revenue Service for the cost of pure life
     insurance protection (P.S. 58 cost) from time to time, or (ii) the rate, if
     any, established by the respective insurance company for one-year term life
     insurance  available to all standard  risks in the amount of the respective
     Policies, less cash value, at Milan Puskar's then attained age.

          (b) The Corporation shall pay the balance, representing the excess, if
     any, of the annual  premium  over any  portion  that may be paid by Trustee
     under (a) above,  plus the annual  interest due on any Policy loans made by
     the Corporation.

          (c) For  administrative  convenience,  the  Trustee  shall  remit  any
     contribution  toward the premiums to the  Corporation,  and the Corporation
     shall be responsible for making the total combined  premium payments to the
     respective insurance company.

          (d) The Corporation  shall cease making premium payments  whenever the
     Trustee so determines.  Once the Trustee has  terminated the  Corporation's
     obligations  hereunder,  the Trustee shall be solely responsible for paying
     premiums due under the Policies.

     6. Security  Interest.  In consideration of the premium payments to be made
by the  Corporation,  and to assure the repayment of such payments,  the Trustee
grants to the Corporation,  with collateral  assignment,  a security interest in
the Policies.  The  Corporation's  security interest in the Policies at any time
shall be an amount equal to its net "Premium  Payments."  "Premium  Payments" as
used in this Agreement means the aggregate  amount of premium payments paid with
respect to the Policies by the Corporation under this Agreement, less any amount
received by the Corporation in reimbursement  of such payments.  The outstanding
balances  on any  Policy  loans  made by the  Corporation  shall  be  considered
reimbursement of such

                                        2


payments. The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Corporation,  at
the time of the first premium payment on the Policies,  a collateral  assignment
of the  Policies.  

     7. Policy  Proceeds.  If the  Policies  mature as death  claims  while this
Agreement remains in effect, the Corporation shall immediately be paid an amount
equal to the then  balance of its  "Premium  Payments."  Such  payment  shall be
considered  a return of capital to the  Corporation  and a  termination  of this
Agreement.  The balance of such  proceeds  shall be retained by the  beneficiary
designated  by the  Trustee in the manner and in the amount  provided  under the
terms of the Policies.

     8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the happening of any of
the following events:

          (a) The Trustee may terminate  this  Agreement  while no premium under
     the Policies is overdue by giving notice to the Corporation.  The effective
     date of such termination shall be the date of giving notice.

          (b) By mutual  consent  of the  parties  hereto or by  release  of the
     Corporation's security interest under paragraph 6 hereof.

          (c) Bankruptcy, insolvency or dissolution of the Corporation.

          (d) Surrender of the Policies by the Trustee.

     9. Repayment of Premium  Payments.  If this  Agreement is terminated  under
paragraph  8 above,  the  Trustee  shall  obtain  release  of the  Corporation's
security  interest in the Policies by paying to the  Corporation  a sum equal to
the amount of the "Premium  Payments"  made by the  Corporation as of that date.
The Corporation agrees (solely for purposes of facilitating such termination and
repayment of its premium payments secured by said policies) that the Trustee may
borrow or  withdraw  from the  Policies  cash values in amounts in excess of the
amounts  specified  in  paragraph  2  above.  If the  Trustee  fails  to pay the
Corporation a sum equal to the "Premium  Payments" within sixty (60) days of the
date of the  termination  of this Agreement  pursuant to paragraph 8 above,  the
Trustee  shall  execute  any and all  instruments  that may be  required to vest
ownership of the Policies in the Corporation. Thereafter, the Trustee shall have
no further  interest in the Policies;  the  Corporation  shall be deemed to have
received a sum equal to the"Premium Payments" and no additional sum will be due
it; and the  Corporation  will have the option to maintain  the  Policies at its
sole discretion.

     10. Corporation's Rights. If the Trustee sells, assigns,  surrenders, makes
withdrawals  or otherwise  terminates the Policies at any time this Agreement is
in effect,  the  Corporation  shall have the immediate right to repayment of its
"Premium  Payments" from the Trustee.  The  Corporation  shall have the right to
borrow from the  Policies  and to pledge or assign the  Policies as security for
loans or advances,  but only up to the "Premium Payments" less the amount of any
loans theretofore obtained by the Corporation.

     11. Assignment. Subject to paragraph 10 above, neither party shall have the
right to assign its interests hereunder without the written consent of the other
party.


                                        3


     12. Further  Assurances.  The parties hereto agree to execute any documents
which may be necessary or proper to carry out the purpose and the intent of this
Agreement.

     13.  Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified  except by a
written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

     14.  Responsibility of Insurance Company. The parties hereto agree that any
insurance  company shall be fully  discharged by payment of the death benefit to
the  beneficiaries  designated  in  the  Policies,  subject  to  the  terms  and
conditions of the Policies;  provided, however, that the insurance company shall
first comply with the terms specified in the collateral  assignment as described
in paragraph 6 above.  No insurance  company shall be considered a party to this
Agreement;  therefore,  a copy of this Agreement need not be filed with any such
company.  Nothing in this  Agreement  nor in any  modifications,  amendments  or
supplements hereto shall in any way be construed to enlarge,  change, vary or in
any way affect the obligations of any insurance company as expressly provided by
the Policies.

     15. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto
and their successors, assigns, executors, or administrators and beneficiaries.

     16. Notices. All notices required by this Agreement shall be in writing and
sent by certified or  registered  mail to the then current or last known address
of each party hereto.

     17.  Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  subject  to and  construed
according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of
the _____ day of ___________________, 1995.

                                       1



To Our Shareholders

     Fiscal 1996 has been a very tough year.  The  industry  has been  suffering
from  a  lack  of   significant   FDA  approvals  and  Mylan  is  no  exception.
Consequently,  although total units shipped has increased 17% compared with last
year, dollar sales have not kept pace due to the resulting pricing pressure.  It
is  Mylan's  policy to  aggressively  protect  its market  share by keeping  its
customers price competitive whenever necessary.  We have done so throughout this
difficult period and will continue to do so as long as necessary.

     We did  receive  four  approvals  from  the  FDA  this  past  fiscal  year,
increasing  our product line to 83 different  compounds  covering 22 therapeutic
categories.

     Seventeen  ANDAs  (generic  drugs) are presently  submitted to the Food and
Drug  Administration  for  approval  with  over  40 more in  various  stages  of
development.  Additionally,  we are sourcing raw material for more than 30 other
generic products.

     Along  with  that,  we are  working on seven  innovator  products  and have
already  filed INDs  (Investigational  New Drugs) on five of them with the other
two to be filed by the end of June.

     Also during this past fiscal  year,  we  announced  our  alliance  with and
investment in VivoRx, Inc., a California based biotechnology  company developing
pancreatic islet cell implant technology for the management of diabetes. This is
an  exciting  project  with the  prospect of  improving  the quality of life for
millions  of  insulin  dependent  Americans.  It is  also  consistent  with  our
objective  of  focusing  upon  therapies  that  meet  unmet  needs,  and  make a
difference in terms of human and economic value.

     During  this fiscal  year,  Mylan has paid a total of  $17,502,000  in cash
dividends  to its  share-  holders,  and  shareholders'  equity  has grown  from
$482,728,000 last year to $616,441,000 for this fiscal year. A 28% increase!

     Although  competition  in the generic field is tough and pricing  pressures
are severe at the moment,  the industry continues to grow. Mylan is planning and
building  for the  future and has  positioned  itself to remain a leader in this
industry.

Most sincerely,
Milan Puskar
Chairman, CEO and President

     Mylan began in 1961 as a privately  owned company  founded by our Chairman,
CEO and President, Milan Puskar, and an associate in White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia.  Initially the company did not manufacture products, but operated as a
distributor buying finished goods and reselling them to pharmacies, doctors, and
etc.

     Mylan  experienced  unbelievable  growth after the present  management team
took over on May 13, 1976, and the company soon became  eligible to be traded on
the National-Over-the-Counter (NASDAQ) Market as MYLN.

NASDAQ

     February  15,  1973,   the  first  shares  of  stock  were  traded  on  the
Over-the-Counter Market, and Mylan became a public company.

     Mylan  continued to expand its list of approved  products with the addition
of Ethromycin in 1971 and  Ampicillin in 1973.  The list of major drug companies
purchasing product under private label also continued to increase.

1980s

     On April 14,  1986,  Mylan  became a member of the Big Board,  The New York
Stock Exchange, and its symbol became MYL.


     Mylan's former  Chairman and CEO, Roy McKnight  testified  before the House
Oversight  and  Investigations  Committee  regarding  improprieties  at the FDA,
prompting an  investigation  of the generic  drug  industry  exposing  cheating,
bribery and payoffs.

     November  1988,  Mylan  announced  the  joint-venture  purchase of Somerset
Pharmaceuticals. Somerset received FDA approval in 1989 for EldeprylRegistration
Mark, an extremely effective treatment for late stage Parkinson's disease.


     Mylan introduced its first proprietary product,  MaxzideRegistration  Mark,
an  antihypertensive  in 1984. In 1988,  after three years of clinical  testing,
Mylan received approval on half strength  MaxzideRegistration Mark-25. Both were
licensed to Lederle Laboratories for distribution.

     In 1987 Mylan  opened a second  manufacturing  facility  in Caguas,  Puerto
Rico,  followed by the opening of its first  distribution  center in Greensboro,
North Carolina in 1988.

Company History

     The success of any company is not achieved by any one particular  event but
is the  result  of a series  of  occurrences  throughout  its  history.  It is a
combination of the management  team, the employees and the corporate  philosophy
that  make or break a  company.  Mylan is the proof of that  principle!  We have
grown from a tiny,  single  location,  West  Virginia  company to a present day,
financially strong,  multi-location industry leader listed on the New York Stock
Exchange.  Mylan's code of ethics and its corporate philosophy that 'If we can't
do it  right,  we don't  do it at  all,'  combined  with  the  integrity  of its
employees  provides the  foundation  upon which this  company is built.  Mylan's
'family' of employees  whose  dedication  to their work and pride in the company
have been the backbone of this remarkable  story. From maintenance to management
it has been a blend of ideas, hard work and mutual respect,  and it continues to
be the key to Mylan's ongoing success and growth!





                With its blend of quality generics and innovator
               products, Mylan has grown into a fully integrated
    pharmaceutical firm, ranking among America's top 1,000 growth companies.

     "Our  commitment to excellence has given us a firm hold on the present as a
     leader  in the  pharmaceutical  industry  and  combined  with  the  talent,
     integrity  and  dedication  of our  family of  employees,  we have a strong
     foothold on the future." Left to Right: Rod Jackson, Senior Vice President;

The twelve months of Fiscal 1996 have been filled with changes and challenges.

     We have continued to see consolidation in our industry.we have participated
in that  consolidation  by acquiring UDL  Laboratories,  the premier supplier of
unit dose pharmaceuticals to the institutional and long-term care markets.  This
enables Mylan to better position itself in the retail, institutional and managed
care markets.

     We have seen  increased  pricing  pressure.the  industry has been suffering
from  a  lack  of  significant  FDA  approvals,   and  Mylan  is  no  exception.
Consequently, even though units shipped has increased 17% over last year, dollar
sales have not kept pace due to the resulting  pricing  pressure.  It is Mylan's
policy to  aggressively  protect  its market  share by keeping  customers  price
competitive whenever necessary. We have done so throughout this difficult period
and will continue to do so as long as necessary.

     Mylan  continues to increase its market  share.for  the twelve month period
ending  December  31,  1995,  Mylan was ranked  first  among all  pharmaceutical
companies,  branded  or  generic,  in  the  number  of  prescriptions  dispensed
according


                           Mylan Laboratories Inc. 9


to the IMS National  Prescription  Audit.  Fifty-six percent of Mylan's products
rank  number one and 71% rank number one or number two. We are very proud of the
Mylan team of employees who have made this  possible.  From the moment a product
becomes an idea in Mylan's  mind,  to the moment it gets  approved and becomes a
part of our product line, it is the creativity, dedication and production of all
of our people,  from  maintenance  to  management,  that allows us to enjoy this
continued growth!

     To maintain our ongoing success and long-term  growth,  and to continue our
transition into a fully integrated  pharmaceutical  company, Mylan is developing
innovator products, as well as, generic products.  Presently, there are seven of
these compounds in our pipeline: an anti-fungal, a wound care product, a topical
anesthetic, a migraine product, a gastrointestinal  product, a burn product, and
a product for treatment of the On/Off  phenomenon  associated  with  Parkinson's
disease.

sponsored    picnic   in   La   Jolla,    California.    Mylan's   Orphan   Drug
'CystagonRegistration Mark' helps to control this rare genetic disorder known as
Cystinosis for over 400 known victims worldwide.

                           Mylan Laboratories Inc. 10


  Investigational New Drug Application s (INDs) have been filed on five of these
compounds  and the other two will be filed by the end of June.  Clinical  trials
will begin in July on the wound care product and the topical anesthetic.

     Mylan has developed its own 'Sustained Release' technology and on March 25,
1996 we announced approval for Verapamil ER 240 MG tablets,  our first sustained
release product.  We have  approximately  ten more of these types of products in
development.  Presently,  we are constructing a 27,000 square foot bead facility
which we hope to have completed by the end of the year.

     In September  of 1995 we announced  our  alliance  with and  investment  in
VivoRx,  Inc.,  a  California-based  biotechnology  company  that is  developing
pancreatic islet cell implant  technology for the management of diabetes.  Three
patients  have  been  successfully  implanted  and  our  first  patient  has now
successfully  undergone his third implant with results similar to his first two,
thus providing "Proof of Principle" to this important technology. VivoRx has now
amended their original IND to permit the use of human  'proliferated'  or cloned
cells, in addition,  another IND will be filed for the use of porcine (pancreas)
islets and the first of these implants are planned for this year.

     Diabetes is a staggering disease in terms of both human and economic tolls.
By  working  with  VivoRx,  Mylan  will be  helping to meet the unmet need for a
long-term diabetes control therapy and helping to


                         Mylan Laboratories Inc. 11


improve the  quality of life for the  estimated  1.4  million  insulin-dependent
diabetics in the United States who could potentially benefit from the treatment.

     Our VivoRx  investment is consistent with the Mylan objective to focus upon
therapies to treat or cure devastating illnesses. To serve this mission, we have
been and continue to be a research driven company. It is with great anticipation
that we look  forward to moving into our new 150,000  square foot R & D facility
this  summer.  We have more than doubled our R & D staff over the past two years
and with the opening of this facility, will increase it.

     We have also  quietly  supported  significant  research at The  Parkinson's
Institute in California.  Dr. William Langston,  its founder and president and a
leader in Parkinson's research,  was the first to describe MPTP as the causative
agent for illicit drug users'  development of Parkinson's  like diseases several
years ago.

        We have supported  research at the  Institute,  searching for biological
markers to use in  screening  compounds  for the  potential  use in treatment of
Parkinson's. Our 'Parkinson's Man in a Box' funding will provide The Parkinson's
Institute  the use of materials to include DNA  containing  tissues of brain and
blood from deceased Parkinson's patients to assist in finding cures or treatment
for future Parkinson's victims. No other model exists for this type of screening
of compounds. We find this research very significant in

helping to treat or cure this devastating illness.

        Once  again  throughout  the  year  Mylan  has  been  featured  in  many
publications  and  heralded by some as one of the best  companies  in the United
States.  Business  Week's 1996 issue of America's  1000 Most Valuable  Companies
ranked  Mylan  among its elite as did Forbes in its April 22,  1996 issue of The
Forbes 500. The October 10, 1995 issue of Financial World reflected Mylan as one
of America's 100 Best Growth Companies. Executive Report magazine ranks Mylan as
number two on their list of Top Ten Performers in the Pittsburgh area.

     Better  Investing   magazine,   a  publication  put  out  by  NAIC.National
Association of Investors  Corporation.lists the 100 most popular and widely held
stocks between investment clubs and their members  nationwide,  and we are proud
to say we rank 38th by number of clubs and 26th by number of shares for 1996. We
take this as a great compliment since our shareholders are very important to us!
We are well  aware  that  growth in  shareholders'  equity is  paramount  to our
investors.  This year shareholder equity has grown to $616.4 million from $482.7
million last year. A 28% increase!

5 billion  TABLETS AND CAPSULES PRODUCED IN FISCAL 1996

(picture)
In the background is one of the construction  projects Mylan has underway.a
150,000 square foot state-of-the-art  research facility scheduled for completion
this summer.  This facility is another sign of Mylan's  total  commitment to the
future.  It will  provide the  resources  necessary  to carry out the  company's
aggressive  product  development   program.  C.  B.  Todd  -  President,   Mylan
Pharmaceuticals Inc.

     Mylan's total  commitment to quality can be witnessed at its  manufacturing
plant in Morgantown, West Virginia.the generic arm of the corporate family.

     Incoming raw materials are inspected using a scanning  electron  microscope
and a particle size analyzer to ensure

     consistency and quality.  This is one of the many quality checks  performed
at Mylan Pharmaceuticals even though it is not mandated by the FDA.

     The raw materials that pass quality control specifications are then blended
according  to the master  formula  sheet,  which is part of the FDA approval and
must be strictly followed.  In fact, the FDA makes thousands of inspections each
year to make sure that  manufacturers  are  meeting  the master  formula  sheets
specifications exactly.

                         Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. 17



(picture)

     Granulating  and  blending the raw  materials  into  finished  capsules and
tablets is done in  climate-controlled  rooms known as "clean rooms" because the
air is cleaned to remove dust or powder. As with all other  manufacturing  steps
at Mylan, only one lot or batch of materials is allowed to be present in a room.
This gives Mylan the highest level of quality control possible.

     Using sophisticated  state-of-the-art equipment, we are able to manufacture
over  seventy-five  separate  generic  drugs.  To track  all of these  different
products,  computers  with video  cameras and bar code  readers are used to make
sure that each product always has the correct label.

     At every  manufacturing  phase,  Mylan's quality control  managers have the
authority to stop production if a product is not meeting Mylan's standards. As a
final quality  check,  Mylan gives every  capsule and tablet 100 percent  visual
inspection.

     In the pharmaceutical  industry,  long-term success is based on reputation.
Mylan's success and leadership in providing safe, effective and low-cost generic
drugs is founded on its reputation for both quality and integrity. We care about
our  customers  and our  suppliers  because  they are an  important  part of our
success. Producing

                         Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. 18



high quality products is our way of showing our appreciation.

        During  this  past  year,   Amerisource   rewarded  us  with  the  "1995
Manufacturer  Partner of the Year Award" for our  'superior  performance  in all
areas.'

        Another great honor was bestowed upon Mylan when the retail  pharmacists
did their 1995 survey and rated  manufacturers.  Mylan was ranked the number one
generic  company in its  commitment  to  pharmacy,  its product  quality and its
commitment to research.

        We are proud to be on this '1995  Corporate Honor Roll' and even prouder
to be ranked number one in these categories.

       Your company has received four new approvals  this year from the Food and
Drug  Administration,  which further  expands our ever growing line of products.
Presently  we have  submitted  17  different  chemical  entities  to the FDA for
approval,   representing  27  different  strengths.  We  have  more  than  forty
additional generic products in development.

        We are proud to be a leader in the generic  industry.  Our commitment to
quality,  and the integrity of our employees will keep us there. We look forward
to the challenges of the new year.

        A new  state-of-the-art  research facility is planned for late 1996. The
new facility will have bed space for 104 research subjects. The facility will be
divided  into four  quadrants  which  will allow  four  studies to be  conducted
independently at the same time. Two large  laboratories  located adjacent to the
blood  collection  areas  will  enable  each  study to be  assigned  a  specific

"Mylan   selected   Puerto  Rico  because  of  the  good  people  we  have  down
here.high-quality,  well-trained,  dedicated  people who are proud of their work
and their company." Carlos Machin - President and General Manager of Puerto Rico
Operations

                  Facing the Challenge of Meeting Market Demand

                                   Mylan Inc.


     Mylan broke ground for its first manufacturing  facility in Caguas,  Puerto
Rico on October 8, 1986,  and less than one year later,  that 60,000 square foot
plant was completed and ready for production.

     The success of this operation has been so outstanding  that we have doubled
the size of the Caguas  facility  and  purchased  a second  plant in the town of
Cidra.

     Puerto Rico is only about a third the size of the state of Vermont,  yet it
is home to one of the greatest  concentrations of  pharmaceutical  manufacturing
capabilities in the world.

     Overall,  the  island  boasts  more than 70  individual  manufacturing  and
processing plants, representing nearly every major pharmaceutical company in the
world.

     The majority of  manufacturers  have  established  plants in Puerto Rico to
take  advantage  of the  island's  exceptional  work  force  and  favorable  tax
structure. But Mylan is doing more than merely taking advantage of a good thing.

                                 Mylan Inc. 23


     With its fully  equipped  facilities at Caguas and Cidra,  Mylan has seized
the initiative to push  manufacturing  technology to the limit, and create a new
standard of excellence for quality and integrity in pharmaceutical production.

     At the Caguas plant, our state-of-the-art  manufacturing facilities produce
a  wide   range  of  Mylan   generics,   as  well  as   Somerset's   proprietary
anti-Parkinson's  drug  EldeprylRegistration  Mark. Over one billion tablets and
capsules  were produced in this  facility  during  Fiscal 1996.  Since it became
operational  in 1987, the Caguas  facility has achieved an excellent  record for
both product  approval and regulatory  compliance.  Recently the quality control
lab was expanded which provides added analytical capacity.

     At  its  nearby  Cidra   facility,   Mylan  has  created  highly   advanced
capabilities  for handling  pharmaceutical  products  with special  handling and
manufacturing   safety   requirements.   These  capabilities   permit  Mylan  to
manufacture Cidra's principal product, Methotrexate. The unique demands of these


                                 Mylan Inc. 24


products - including expert application of specialized  manufacturing equipment,
strict  adherence  to  rigid  procedures,  and  constant  use  of  sophisticated
protective gear - create daily challenges which must be met and overcome.

     But Cidra's dedicated staff has proven equal to the task.

     With  enormous  energy  and  commitment,  they  are  facing  the  immediate
challenge of satisfying  market demand for Mylan products  today.and  laying the
foundation for Mylan's entry into significant new market segments tomorrow.

     Carlos  Machin,  President  and  General  Manager  of Mylan's  Puerto  Rico
operations  commented:  "The  philosophy  of Mylan is quality and  integrity.the
entire Mylan family is built around this,  and Puerto Rico is no exception.  Our
employees  are extremely  proud of the quality we turn out, of our  relationship
with the community and with Puerto Rico. We have been a landmark in Puerto Rico,
not only for the level of  production.but  for  quality  and  integrity.  We are
extremely proud to be part of the Mylan family."

Dow Hickam Pharmaceuticals Inc.

12 unique and innovative products to meet customers' needs


(picture)
"The health care industry is constantly  evolving and with managed care emerging
as the fastest  growing  segment of this industry,  we are on the threshold of a
very exciting era. With the combination of Hickam, Bertek and UDL into the Mylan
family of companies,  Mylan is uniquely  positioned to provide quality  products
and services  from one source and enables the Company to be a 'standout' in this
industry." William W. Richardson - President, Dow Hickam Pharmaceuticals Inc.



     Dow Hickam  Pharmaceuticals Inc. of Sugar Land, Texas was acquired by Mylan
Laboratories  Inc. in October 1991 and has become a vital part of a  corporation
well positioned to take advantage of the ever changing health care industry.

     Dow Hickam specializes in the manufacturing and marketing of wound and burn
care pharmaceutical  products and medical devices for use in hospitals,  nursing
homes,  and home  health  care.  However,  Hickam is much more than a wound care
company. They have built stronger alliances with their distributors and with key
corporate  health care  providers  and  expanded  their  physician  call base to
include plastic surgeons and  dermatologists  as dermatology is a focused market
in their future.

     During fiscal 1996 the Company added Flexdermtrademark,  a hydrogel polymer
wound dressing that provides a moist  environment  for wound  healing.  This new
product complements Hickam's current line and meets its strategic focus of

                       Dow Hickam Pharmaceuticals Inc. 27


        acquiring unique and innovative products for the institutional
marketplace.

     With a highly  experienced  sales force of approximately 80 people,  Hickam
has a strong presence in the  institutional and alternate care marketplace which
also enables them to reach the nation's 42 most populated  states,  covering 97%
of the hospital and nursing home patients in the United States.

     The number of sales regions was increased from seven to nine to support the
Company's  expanding  product line and growth into the managed care marketplace.
The  additional  coverage  gives Hickam the  opportunity to grow the sales force
when additional  products are acquired or developed and has enabled Hickam field
managers to form stronger  relationships with corporate  accounts,  national and
regional buying groups, and managed care companies.

     Hickam  continues to grow within the managed care  marketplace.  The recent
acquisition  of UDL  Laboratories  Inc.  now  enables the Company to provide its
managed


                       Dow Hickam Pharmaceuticals Inc. 28


care customers with specialty packaged generic products.  The Hickam sales force
continues  to  promote  the  "Mylan   Managed   Health  Care   Program"  to  its
institutional pharmacy customers, as well as to all facets of the ever expanding
managed care customer base.

     The Mylan family of companies  is in a unique and quite  envious  position.
Few  companies  have the  strength of the Mylan and UDL line of quality  generic
products,  coupled  with the manpower of Hickam's  national  sales force and the
Bertek line of pharmaceutical labels and forms.

     This union of Mylan,  Hickam,  Bertek  and UDL is  extremely  effective  in
providing  quality products and services from one source and truly makes Mylan a
'standout' in America's health care industry.

"Bertek's  capabilities as a leading  manufacturer in transdermal  drug delivery

Mylan

Bertek, Inc.

Mylan is Actively Involved in R&D Projects Using Bertek Technology


     Bertek, Incorporated, headquartered in St. Albans and Swanton Vermont, is a
leading   manufacturer  of  transdermal  drug  delivery  systems  with  coating,
laminating, extrusion and labeling operations.

     Bertek was acquired by Mylan in February 1993 and the acquisition  provided
Mylan with five  worldwide  and seven  domestic  patents  for  transdermal  drug
delivery  technology,  wound  care,  and other  related  products to enhance the
generic and branded  divisions  of Mylan.  Bertek also  provides  Mylan with the
third  component  of  the  "Mylan  Managed  Health  Care  Program,"  with  their
innovative specialty, and computer generated forms and labels.

     Bertek has unique  state-of-the-art  technologies  for producing  coatings,
laminates  and  finished  pharmaceutical  products  to be used  for  transdermal
administration  of drugs to patients.  Patches produced with these  technologies
are also used in wound care therapy. Transdermal osmotic absorption has become a
significant  advance in drug delivery,  and  transdermal  drug delivery  systems
increase patient compliance while reducing the risk of missed medication, and in
many products


                             Bertek Incorporated 31


reduce side  effects.  Each day, new methods and  applications  for  transdermal
therapeutic  systems  evolve,  and Bertek has helped  pioneer  that  growth.  By
combining their extensive R & D and pharmacology capabilities with comprehensive
GMP  manufacturing,  including clean room coating and laminating of the finished
patch and all its  components,  Bertek is the  complete  source from the initial
concept through final manufacturing.

     Bertek currently provides components using internally  developed technology
for transdermal patches marketed by other companies under contract. They are the
world leaders in the  manufacturing of soft laminated cards,  with a client base
including Blue Cross and Blue Shield and numerous staff model Health Maintenance
Organizations.  And in addition, they are the complete suppliers of the computer
generated  labels and package  inserts used by Mylan's  generic and  proprietary
pharmaceutical divisions.

     Mylan is actively  involved  in research  and  development  projects  using
Bertek  technology  to provide new  products for  marketing by its  subsidiaries
including,  but not limited to, developing generics in patch  formulations,  new
chemical entities and line extensions of existing drugs.

     The  teaming of Bertek and Mylan  Pharmaceuticals  to develop  generics  in
patch  formulations  has  to  date,  led  to  the  filing  of  three  ANDAs  for
Nitroglycerin  Transdermal Systems with the FDA, and a commitment to file future
ANDAs. Additionally, Bertek has two IND filings scheduled for Fiscal 1997.

     Bertek is collaborating  exclusively with Somerset  Pharmaceuticals  in the
development  of an  EldeprylRegistration  Mark  patch.  Presently,  a Phase  III
clinical trial using the EldeprylRegistration  Mark patch is being conducted for
Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer's type, with additional clinical trials planned
for the future.

     The  strategic  fit of Bertek  and  Mylan  will  enable  Mylan to be in the
forefront of the ever changing health care market in 1996 and beyond.

UDL Laboratories Inc.

over 1 billion doses packaged per year

(picture)
Low-cost,  alternative  dosing forms are an invaluable  care management tool for
today's  provider.and  UDL is  meeting  that need with a full range of unit dose
pharmaceutical products. Michael K. Reicher - President, UDL Laboratories Inc.



Thousands  of  health  care  providers   around  the  nation  already  know  UDL
Laboratories is a leader in unit dose  multi-source  pharmaceuticals.  They have
come to expect certain things from us.like reliable supply, reasonable costs and
dependable service as well as convenience and personal attention.

In virtually every health care delivery setting,  providers are doing their best
to maintain a delicate balance between quality of care and cost of delivery.  At
UDL , we believe  that  balance is the very  definition  of the word value,  and
helping   deliver   value  to  both   providers   and   patients  is  our  first
responsibility.

 Clearly,  our  extensive  formulary  of  multi-source  options  is one  way UDL
delivers  value.   Another  way  is  the  large  network  of  group   purchasing
organizations with whom we have contract awards.

However, the cost of delivery is more than the cost of a drug. Professional time
spent logging,  tracking,  and preparing  medications  is expensive.  So is time
spent on the floor or at the  bedside  rechecking  and  administering.  And most
costly of all is an error.any error.in delivering medication to the patient.

                            UDL Laboratories Inc. 35


     That's why UDL places  such great  emphasis  on  developing  well-designed,
time-saving,  and  convenient  packaging for our products.  We believe the extra
effort adds value.by helping providers deliver drug therapy at low cost and with
confidence.

     In our  industry,  service must be  impeccably  dependable.no  excuses,  no
exceptions.

     UDL has developed one of the most  dependable  distribution  systems in the
industry  utilizing the prime vendor drug  wholesaler  network.because  reliable
supply is so critical to providers.  After all, even the best therapy is useless
if it is not available when the patient needs it.

     UDL's  aggressive R & D efforts are fueled by an increasing  demand for new
and  easy-to-use  drug  therapies.  Current  developments  include  new ANDAs in
progress as well as ongoing  enhancements to our existing product mix. Committed
to  innovation,  UDL continues to meet provider and patient  demands with unique
concentrations   and   delivery   systems   designed  to  meet  the   dispensing
requirements.

     We take our commitment to research and  development  very  seriously.  In a
single year, our analytical  chemists  perform many stability tests on potential
new UDL  products,  including  liquid-dose  forms,  and unit dose  forms of oral
solids. Our aggressive R & D program is responsible


                            UDL Laboratories Inc. 36



for a continually  expanding formulary.

     But the lab is not the only  source of new ideas and  products  at UDL.  We
work closely with some of the most creative,  demanding  product analysts in the
industrythe health care professionals who use our products.

     We   have   earned   the   reputation   of   being   a    highly-motivated,
customer-oriented   organization.  We  recruit  knowledgeable  professional  and
motivated staff,  provide continuous  training and skill-building  opportunities
and offer an environment  that challenges  people to deliver their best. At UDL,
offering personal attention is simply standard operating procedure.

One of the most  exciting  chapters in the Mylan book has been the 50% ownership
of Somerset  Pharmaceuticals.  Somerset owns the rights to  EldeprylRegistration
Mark, a drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.  Like Mylan, Somerset
is dedicated to extensive research and development looking for ways to provide a
better  quality of life to  victims of  Parkinson's  disease  and other  disease
states. Dana G. Barnett - Chairman and CEO, Somerset Pharmaceuticals

Mylan

directing development efforts to extending product lines

Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc.



     Mylan  acquired 50%  ownership of Somerset in June 1989. In the same month,
Somerset  secured FDA approval to market a new  medication  for the treatment of
Parkinson's  disease,  called   EldeprylRegistration  Mark  tablets  (selegiline
hydrochloride).  Today, more than 7 5,000 patients receive  EldeprylRegistration
Mark.   Subsequent   to  its  1989  launch,   net  profits  from  the  sales  of
EldeprylRegistration Mark have increased each year.

     In late  1991,  Somerset  realigned  its  business  goals  and  elected  to
significantly  expand its research and  development  programs  especially in the
areas of neurologic and psychiatric  treatment  research  programs.  Significant
increases in resources dedicated to these programs have occurred each year since
1992. In 1995, Somerset allocated  resources  equivalent to approximately 16% of
net sales to fund these research efforts.


                        Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc. 39


     Somerset is pursuing  several  additions to the  EldeprylRegistration  Mark
marketplace.  On May  15,  1996,  FDA  approved  Somerset's  NDA  for a  capsule
formulation for EldeprylRegistration  Mark.  EldeprylRegistration  Mark capsules
have completely replaced  EldeprylRegistration Mark tablets and Somerset will no
longer  manufacture  or market  the tablet  formulation.  Somerset  is  pursuing
several line  extensions to complement  the sales of  EldeprylRegistration  Mark
capsules.

     Somerset is  conducting  an  extensive  research  program with a Selegiline
Transdermal  System (STS) for which it owns several U.S. and worldwide  patents.
Somerset has  completed  Phase I and II trials and pivotal cl inical  trials are
presently  ongoing  in  Alzheimer's   disease,   Parkinson's   disease  andMajor
Depression.

     As a part  of its  expanded  research  and  development  efforts,  Somerset
relocated to Tampa,  Florida in 1992. The Company purchased a 24,000 square foot
building which soon became "home" to a state-of-the-art research and development
laboratory   equipped  with  the  latest  analytical   equipment  and  high-tech
processing  equipment.   Additional   development   capabilities  in  Somerset's
laboratory include the design, formulation,

Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc. 40



and production of pilot quantities of liquids, tablets, capsules, ointments
and creams.

     Somerset's  marketing  efforts have also  intensified over the last several
years.  Somerset is committed to providing both  pharmacological  agents for the
treatment of Parkinson's disease and other neurologic disease states and also to
educating physicians,  pharmacists and patients on the safest and most effective
use of these medications.  As part of a comprehensive patient education program,
Somerset  launched two  innovative  programs this past year to accomplish  these
goals. Also, in January of 1996,  Somerset signed a new marketing agreement with
CoCensys, Inc. to co-promote and market  EldeprylRegistration Mark in the United
States.  The  experienced  CoCensys  sales force made them the logical choice to
help  Somerset  grow the  EldeprylRegistration  Mark market.  Somerset and their
previous  co-marketing  partner,  Sandoz,  mutually agreed to discontinue  their
co-marketing agreement in March 1996.

     Success with the above marketing and research and development  efforts will
allow Somerset to continue to contribute to Mylan's future.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
                             and Financial Position

    MYLAN LABORATORIES INC.

Overview

     After six years of record breaking net sales and net earnings,  culminating
with the extraordinary  results of fiscal 1995, fiscal 1996 was destined to be a
year of challenge.  The highly competitive nature of the generic  pharmaceutical
industry  took its toll via  significant  pricing  pressure  which  masked a 17%
increase in generic  unit volume  realized  during the year.  Additionally,  the
regulatory  environment  which  helped to provide  eleven new products in fiscal
1995 and eight in fiscal 1994  provided only four new product  approvals  during
fiscal  1996,  two of which were  received in the final weeks of the fiscal year
thus having a nominal impact on the results of operations.

     The Company  took steps early  during  fiscal 1996 to control  spending and
focus  resources  to  specific   targeted  areas.  As  a  result,   Selling  and
Administrative  expenses decreased by 3% from the prior year levels and Research
and Development  expenses increased by 27%. In light of all of these factors the
Company  is very  proud to have once  again  posted  net  earnings  in excess of
$100,000,000.

     The  Company's  history of success  has given it a firm hold as a leader in
the generic industry. To protect its leadership role in this constantly evolving
industry the Company,  during fiscal 1996, acquired UDL Laboratories,  (UDL) the
premier supplier of unit dose generic  pharmaceuticals  to the institutional and
long-term care markets.  While this transaction was consummated in late February
and  accordingly  had a minimal effect on current year earnings,  it enables the
Company to better position itself in the retail,  institutional and managed care
markets.   Despite  the  amortization   expense  which  will  result  from  this
transaction,  the Company  believes that the acquisition of UDL will enhance net
earnings in fiscal 1997.

     With total  assets  approaching  $700 million and net worth of $616 million
the Company is  financially  capable of maintaining  its leadership  role in the
generic  industry while at the same time  exploring  exciting  long-term  growth
opportunities for the Company and its shareholders. These opportunities exist in
the form of ongoing  research  and  development  projects  relating  to new drug
delivery  systems and the  development  of products which satisfy unmet needs in
the medical community.

     Internally the Company has continued to expand its research and development
capabilities through the construction of a 150,000 square foot  state-of-the-art
research  facility  scheduled for  completion  in the late summer of 1996.  This
facility  will  provide  the  resources  necessary  to carry ou t the  Company's
aggressive  generic  product  development  program and to accelera te efforts on
sustained release technology and innovator compounds.

     In  addition  to  its  internal  efforts  the  Company  continues  to  look
externally  for  innovative  products and  technologies  representing  long-term
growth  opportunities.  During fiscal 1996 these efforts included the signing of
several licensing agreements and an equity investment and funding agreement with
VivoRx, a California based research company involved in cell implant  technology
for the management of diabetes.

     Despite the competitive  pressures  inherent in the generic  pharmaceutical
industry, the Company remains fully committed to maintaining its leadership role
in that  industry by providing  quality  products and  exemplary  service to its
customers.  In addition,  the Company  believes  that  shareholder  value can be
maximized  by  continuing  the  Company's  effort to  become a fully  integrated
pharmaceutical  company  capable  of  satisfying  unmet  needs  in  the  medical
community. The Company stands equally committed to that end.

Results of Operations

Net Sales and Gross Margins

The following table outlines net sales, gross margins and the corresponding
change from the previous year: (dollars in millions)

1996                     $ 392.9    -1%      $ 195.2   -14%             50%
1995                       396.1    57%        226.5    80%             57%
1994                       251.8    19%        126.1     3%             50%


     The changes in net sales,  gross  margins and gross  margin as a percent of
net  sales are  indicative  of the  highly  competitive  nature  of the  generic
pharmaceutical  industry  and the  Company's  history of  obtaining  new product
approvals. Generic products generally yield higher gross margins as a percent of
sales in the short-term period after introduction, and are subject to, sometimes
severe, price deterioration as other competitors enter the market.

     With respect to the Company's  generic product line, the Company added four
products in fiscal 1993 which accounted for $50.8 million in net sales in fiscal
1993,  eight  products in fiscal 1994 which  accounted  for $25.8 million in net
sales in fiscal 1994,  eleven products in fiscal 1995 which accounted for $151.5
million  in net sales in fiscal  1995 and four  products  in fiscal  1996  which
accounted  for  $10.3  million  in net  sales in  fiscal  1996.  Two of the four
products added in fiscal 1996 were approved in the last weeks of the fiscal year
and  accordingly  had very little  effect on net sales or gross  margins for the
year.  Other  variables  including  total market size and number of  competitors
affect the net sales and gross margins for new product approvals.

     Total unit volume of generic product  shipments  increased by 17% in fiscal
1996,  19% in fiscal  1995 and 24% in fiscal 1994 over the  respective  previous
years.  The  remainder  of the  change  in net sales is  primarily  due to price
variations  and to a lesser  degree  product  mix.  In  addition  to new generic
products  the  changes  in net sales and  gross  margins  from 1993 to 1994 were
affected  by sales from Bertek  (acquired  in  February  1993)  which  generally
provide  lower gross margin rates than the  remainder of the  Company's  product
lines.

     On February 28, 1996 the Company acquired UDL Laboratories,  which provides
specially  packaged  generic   pharmaceutical   products  to  institutional  and
long-term  care  markets.  Net sales by UDL are  reflected  in the  fiscal  1996
amounts only for the one month period subsequent to the acquisition and were not
significant  to the Company's  total net sales.  UDLpurchases  a majority of its
product  from  other  pharmaceutical   manufacturers,   including  the  Company.
Accordingly  gross  margin  as a  percent  of net  sales  for its  products  are
generally lower than that recognized by the manufacturer.

     Due to the competitive nature of the generic  pharmaceutical  industry, net
sales and gross margin percentages recognized in prior years are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected in future periods.

                                       46


Research and Development

     Research  and  Development   expenses  were   $38,913,000  in  fiscal  1996
representing  a 27%  increase  over the prior  year's  $30,533,000.  Fiscal 1994
expenditures  amounted  to  $21,648,000.  These  amounts  represent  10%  of the
corresponding net sales in fiscal 1996, 8% in fiscal 1995 and 9% in fiscal 1994.
Expenditures relating to transdermal delivery system technology were $6,400,000,
$5,600,000  and  $5,200,000,  respectively,  for each of the last  three  years.
Expenditures  relating to innovative  compounds were approximately  $14,500,000,
$8,600,000  and  $3,500,000,   respectively.   The  remainder  of  research  and
development  expenditures in each of the three years represent costs  associated
with generic related projects.

Selling and Administrative

     Selling  and  administrative  expenses  were  $56,073,000  in fiscal  1996,
$58,035,000 in fiscal 1995 and  $49,173,000 in fiscal 1994 which  represent 14%,
15% and 20% of  corresponding  net sales.  In 1994,  $3,229,000  of expense  was
recognized  resulting from the death of Mr.  McKnight,  the former  Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Other changes from 1994 to 1995 and from
1995 to  1996  are  attributable  in  large  part to  compensation  and  related
expenses,  selling and marketing expenses associated with new products including
sales commissions, and legal and professional fees associated with various court
actions to which the Company has been involved.

     In connection  with the  acquisition  of UDL the Company will  recognize in
future years amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.  Most of this
amortization  expense,  which will amount to approximately  $3,000,000 in fiscal
1997, will be charged to selling and administrative expenses.  Additionally, the
nature of UDL's  business  normally  results  in higher  selling  and  promotion
expenses  as a  percentage  of net  sales  than  the  Company  has  historically
recorded.

     Under the Orphan Drug Act,  Somerset has exclusivity  relating to marketing
the chemical compound  EldeprylRegistration Mark for use as a treatment for late
stage  Parkinson's  disease  through  June of 1996.  While  Somerset is actively
addressing  strategies  to protect its revenue and earnings  which result solely
from the sale of this product,  the Company  anticipates  generic competition at
some time during  fiscal 1997.  Somerset's  contribution  to the  Company's  net
earnings   will   be   adversely   affected   upon   generic    competition   on
EldeprylRegistration Mark.

Other Income

     Other income,  derived principally from investment earnings was $16,612,000
in fiscal 1996,  $7,958,000 in fiscal 1995 and  $8,148,000  in fiscal 1994.  The
1994 amount includes $3,375,000 resulting from legal settlements.  Other changes
are indicative of market  fluctuations  affecting the yields on investments  and
changes in assets available for investments.

Income Taxes

     The effective tax rates for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were 27.8%, 29.5% and 16.1%
respectively.  The 1994  effective  tax rate was  reduced  by 5% as a result  of
recording the cumulative effects of changes in financial reporting  requirements
and changes in the Federal tax code.

     The Company recognized tax credits which reduced the effective tax rates by
approximately  6% in 1996,  5% in 1995 and 8% in 1994.  The tax  credits  result
principally  from operations in Puerto Rico and also from credits for increasing
research and development activities.  Changes in the Federal tax code enacted in
1993 reduced tax credits otherwise available for operating in Puerto Rico by 40%
in fiscal 1995 and 45% in fiscal 1996 with  additional 5% reductions to occur in
each of the next three fiscal years.

     In  addition,  recent tax  rulings  may  reduce  the amount of tax  credits
otherwise  available  to the Company for  increasing  research  and  development
activities.  In those tax rulings and in an ongoing  audit of the  Company's tax
returns for the fiscal years 1992 through 1995, the Internal Revenue Service has
taken the position that  expenditures  for research  activities  relating to the
development of generic pharmaceutical  products, do not qualify for inclusion in
determining the credit for increased research and experimental  activities.  The
Company  intends  to  vigorously  defend  its  position  for  inclusion.   Final
resolution of this matter and other  matters being  addressed in relation to the
audit of the  Company's  tax returns may result in an increase in the  effective
tax rate in future years.

                                       48



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  balance sheet remains strong with total assets increasing by
27% to  $692,009,000  as of March 31, 1996.  Working  capital of $330,733,000 at
March 31, 1996  represents a 20% increase over the balance a year ago. The ratio
of current assets to current  liabilities  was 7.8 to 1 at March 31, 1996 versus
5.9 to 1 on March 31, 1995.  The balance sheet  improvements  are  indicative of
continued strong  operations and the acquisition of UDLby the issuance of common
stock.

     Net cash provided by operating  activities was $75,570,000 in fiscal 19 96,
down sharply from the fiscal 1995 amount of $136,531,000.  The decrease resulted
principally  from  higher  tax  payments  in  fiscal  1996,  $50,665,000  versus
$35,822,000  in fiscal 1995,  and from increase d operating  expenses  without a
corresponding  increase  in net  sales  due to price  deterioration.  The  sharp
increase in operating  cash flows from  $35,633,000 in 1994 to  $136,531,000  in
1995 was  indicative  of sales  growth in excess of the  increase  in  operating
expenses  resulting  from the  successful  introduction  of eleven new  products
during fiscal 1995.

     The  Company's  cash  investment  in  property,  plant  and  equipment  was
$31,419,000 in fiscal 1996,  $17,485,000 in 1995 and $20,164,000 in 1994.  Major
investments  included  expansion  and  relocation  of the  Company's  Greensboro
distribution  center,  expansion and renovation of the facilities in Puerto Rico
and Vermont,  acquisition and replacement of aircraft  previously  leased by the
Company  and ongoing  construction  including  a 150,000  square  foot  research
facility and a 27,000 square foot sustained release manufacturin g facility. All
of these  capital  expenditures  were made with the general funds of the Company
without incurring bank financing.

     Changes in the balances of marketable  securities relate principally to the
timing of maturities. Cash used to increase intangible and other assets includes
payments to entities with which the Company is jointly developing new products.

     Payments on  long-term  obligations  in fiscal  1996 relate to  obligations
assumed in  connection  with the  acquisition  of UDL.  In 1994  these  payments
represented  a final  settlement  with the Estate of Roy McKnight in  connection
with Mr. McKnight's salary continuation agreement.

     The  Company  paid  cash  dividends  of $.15 per  share  in 1996  totalling
$17,502,000,  $.19 per share in fiscal  1995  totaling  $22,208,000  including a
special one time  dividend of $.07 per share,  and $.09 per share in fiscal 1994
totaling $11,026,000.

(see note B). The purchase  price of  approximately  $47,500,000  was  satisfied
through the issuance of the Company's common stock.

     Certain  stock  option  transactions  result in a reduction of income taxes
payable and a corresponding  increase in additional paid-in capital. The amounts
for the years ended March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $1,155,000,  $396,000 and
$1,040,000 respectively.

     During fiscal 1996 the Company  declared a 3 for 2 stock split  effected in
the form of a stock dividend (see note M).

     In consideration for the exercise of stock options the Company received and
recorded  into  treasury  stock 10,166 shares valued at $209,000 in fiscal 1996,
659  shares  valued  at  $14,000  in fiscal  1995 and  75,658  shares  valued at
$2,174,000 in fiscal 1994.

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

    MYLAN LABORATORIES INC.

A

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Mylan
Laboratories  Inc.  ("the  Company")  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries.  All
intercompany  accounts and transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.
The  Company is engaged in the  development,  manufacture  and  distribution  of
pharmaceutical  products for resale by others.  The principal  markets for these
products   are   proprietary   and  ethical   pharmaceutical   wholesalers   and
distributors, drug store chains, drug manufacturers and public and governmenta l
agencies.

2. Marketable Securities

     Effective  April 1,  1994,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards  No.  115  ("SFAS  No.  115"),   "Accounting  for  Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Under this Statement,  the Company's
investments  classified as "available  for sale" are recorded at current  market
value with offsetting  adjustments to shareholders' equity, net of income taxes.
The  adoption  of SFAS No. 115 did not have a material  impact on the  financial
position of the Company.

3. Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition

     The  Company  recognizes  revenue  from  product  sales  upon  shipment  to
customers.  Provisions for discounts, rebates, returns and other adjustments are
provided  for in the same period as the  related  sales are  recorded.  Accounts
receivable are presented net of such provisions which amounted to $12,559,000 at
March 31, 1996 and $14,777,000 at March 31, 1995.

4. Inventories

     Inventories  are  stated  at the  lower  of  cost  (principally,  first-in,
first-out) or market.

5. Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property,  plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided
in amounts  sufficient to relate cost of depreciable  assets to operations  over
the estimated service lives, principally on a straight-line basis.

6. Research and Development

     Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

7. Income Taxes

     The Company  accounts  for income  taxes in  accordance  with  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109").  Deferred  income taxes reflect the tax  consequences  on future years of
events  that have  already  been  recognized  by the  Company  in the  financial
statements or tax returns.

8. Earnings per Share

     Earnings per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number
of shares  outstanding  during  each  year.  The  effect on  earnings  per share
resulting  from  the  assumed  exercise  of  outstanding  stock  options  is not
material.

9. Accounting Standards

     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS No. 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This standard is
effective  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1995.  Management
believes  the  application  of this  new  accounting  standard  will  not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

                                       56




     The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 123 ("SFAS No.  123"),  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation."  This  standard is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning  after
December 15, 1995. Pursuant to the new standard,  the Company is not required to
adopt such standard and may continue to account for these transactions under its
current method in accordance  with Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The Company anticipates that it will
disclose the impact of  stock-based  compensation  in its footnotes and will not
include such impact on its recorded earnings.

10. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

     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 the
disclosures  of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial
statements,  as well as the reported  amounts of income and expenses  during the
reporting period.

11. Reclassification

     Certain  prior year amounts have been  reclassified  to conform to the 1996
presentation.

Business Combinations

UDL Laboratories, Inc.

     On February 28, 1996 a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding stock of  UDLLaboratories,  Inc. ("UDL").  UDL is the premier

care  markets.  UDL has its  corporate  headquarters  in Rockford,  Illinois and
maintains manufacturing, research and development and distribution facilities in
Rockford as well as Largo, Florida.

of  accounting.  Payment  of  approximately  $47,500,000  was made  through  the
issuance of 2,337,614  shares of newly  registered  common stock of the Company.
Goodwill of  approximately  $29,038,000  resulting from the acquisition is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a 20 year period.

     The  results  of UDL's  operations  have  been  included  in the  Company's

investment.

     Equity in  Earnings  of  Somerset  includes  the  Company's  50% portion of
Somerset's  net  earnings  through  March 31, and  expense for  amortization  of
intangible  assets  resulting from the acquisition of Somerset.  Such intangible
assets are amortized  over a 15 year period.  Amortization  expense  amounted to
$924,000  in 1996,  1995,  and 1994.  Additionally,  the  Company's  charges  to
Somerset for management services and product development activities are included

Marketable Securities

     Effective April 1, 1994 the Company  adopted SFAS No. 115,  "Accounting for
Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities."  This Standard changes the
manner in which  certain  investments  are valued and  affects  the way in which
unrealized gains and losses are recognized for financial reporting purposes. The
Company has classified its portfolio of marketable  securities as "available for
sale." Such  securities are recorded at market value with  unrealized  gains and
losses being recognized as a separate component of shareholders'  equity, net of
income taxes.

and  $13,874,000  at  March  31,  1996 and 1995  respectively.  Amortization  is

Reimbursements  of  $3,217,000  and  $3,640,000  at March 31,  1996 and 1995 and

retirement.

     In connection  with the acquisition of UDL (see note B) the Company assumed
$7,900,000 of 10.5% senior promissory notes.  Future principal payments on these
notes are in amounts  ranging from  $1,000,000  to  $2,000,000  per year through
2002.  The above notes include  various  covenants,  none of which are presently
significant  to the Company.  The Company has an unsecured line of credit with a
bank totaling $30,000,000.  There were no borrowings  outstanding on the line of
credit at March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Distribution Agreement

     On October 10, 1994, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with
STC  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (STC), a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Eli Lilly and
Company (Lilly).  Under the terms of the agreement the Company is distributing a
generic form of Lilly's  oral  antibiotic  CeclorRegistration  Mark on behalf of
STC. The Company is being paid a fixed monthly fee for distributing the product.
Upon certain  events as defined in the  agreement,  but no later than  November,
1996, the fixed monthly fee will convert to a variable  amount  predicated  upon
STC's net sales of the product.

        Effective  April 1, 1993 the Company  adopted SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income Taxes." The cumulative  effect of adopting this Standard  resulted in
an  increase  in net  earnings  of  $1,124,000  or $.01  per  share  in the 1994
Consolidated Statement of Earnings. There was no cash flow impact.


                                       60


        This Standard requires an asset and liability approach to accounting for
income taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the future tax
consequences  of events  that have  already  been  recognized  in the  financial
statements  or tax returns.  Changes in enacted tax rates or laws will result in
adjustments to the recorded tax assets or liabilities in the period that the tax
law is enacted.

     Temporary  differences  and  carryforwards  which give rise to the deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are as follows: (in thousands)

Tax credits result principally from operations in Puerto Rico.

     State income taxes include  provisions  for tollgate tax resulting from the
future  repatriation  of funds  from  Puerto  Rico to the  United  States.  Such
provisions  have been made to the minimum extent provided under Puerto Rican tax
law based on the Company's  intent to reinvest  Puerto Rican source  earnings in
qualifying investments within Puerto Rico.

     In August of 1993,  President  Clinton  signed into law the Omnibus  Budget
Reconciliation  Act of 1993 ("the Act").  The Act has several  provisions  which
effect  the  Company's  income tax  expense  including  a change in the  Federal
corporate  tax  rate  and  significant  changes  relating  to  tax  credits  for
operations inPuerto Rico. As a direct result of the changes in the tax code, the
Company reassessed its position on the filing  alternatives  available under the
tax code.  Based on the new tax code  provisions,  the  Company  made a decision
which resulted in a reduction of income tax expense of  $3,225,000.  This amount
represents management's estimate of the cumulative effect of this change.

                                       61


Common Stock

     During fiscal year 1996 the Company declared a 3 for 2 stock split effected
in the form of a stock dividend.  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. Per share amounts and stock options have been adjusted for
the stock split.

Commitments

     The Company has entered into various  contractual  agreements,  principally
licensing  arrangements,  whereby  the  Company has  obtained,  in exchange  for
funding of drug development activities,  rights to manufacture and/or distribute
certain  drugs,  which are presently in various  stages of  development.  In the
event that all projects  are  successful,  payments  totalling  $29,600,000  are
expected to be made over the next five years.  Approximately eighty-five percent
of this total is due upon the filing of an Abbreviated  New Drug  Application or
New  Drug  Application  with the  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA) or upon
approval from the FDA and the subsequent launch of the product.

Stock Option Plans

     On December 1, 1986 the Board of Directors adopted the "Mylan  Laboratories
Inc.  1986  Incentive  Stock Option Plan" ("the Plan") which was approved by the
shareholders  on June 24,  1987. A total of  9,000,000  shares of the  Company's
common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options.  Options,
which may be granted at not less than fair market value on the date of the grant
may be exercised  within ten years from the date of grant.  As of March 31, 1996
options for 4,873,200 shares have been granted pursuant to the Plan.

     On June 23,  1992 the Board of  Directors  adopted  the  "1992  Nonemployee
Director  Stock  Option Plan" (the  "Directors'  Plan")  subject to  shareholder
approval,  which was obtained on April 7, 1993. A total of 600,000 shares of the
Company's  common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock options
which may be  granted at not less than fair  market  value on the date of grant.
Shares are granted, based on a formula as described in the Directors' Plan, upon
the  nonemployee  director's  initial  and  subsequent  election to the Board of
Directors.  Options may be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. As
of March 31, 1996,  261,000 shares have been granted  pursuant to the Directors'
Plan.

     As of March 31, 1996 options for 1,934,900 shares are exercisable under all
plans at option prices ranging from $2.83 to $20.42 per share.


     A summary of the activity  resulting  from all plans adjusted for the stock
split is as follows:

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plans

     The Company has a  noncontributory  trusteed  profit  sharing plan covering
essentially  all employees who are not covered by 401(k) plans, a profit sharing
plan with a 401(k) provision covering all employees of Bertek and UDL and 401(k)
plans covering Dow Hickam  Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Hickam) and all bargaining unit
employees.

     Contributions to the profit sharing plans are made at the discretion of the
Board of Directors.  Contributions  to the Hickam and UDL plans are based upon a
formula matching the employee salary  deferral.  Contributions to the bargaining
unit plan are based upon the union agreement.  Total  contributions to all plans
for the years ended March 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 were  $2,959,000,  $3,060,000
and $2,300,000 respectively.

Related Party Transactions

     Pursuant to a salary  continuation  agreement between Mr. McKnight,  former
Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer,  and the Company,  a one-time  payment of
$4,306,000 was made on March 31, 1994 of which  $2,861,000  was expensed  during
1994.  The Company also  purchased  aircraft,  which it  previously  leased on a
flight by flight basis, from the estate of Mr. McKnight for $5,900,000.

Legal Matters

     The Company is involved in various legal  proceedings  that are  considered
normal to its business.  While it is not feasible to predict the ultimate  outco
me of such  proceedings  it is the opinion of  management  that the outcome will
have no  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  operations  or  financial
position.

     During 1996 Bertek was involved in an arbitration  matter  unrelated to the
pharmaceutical  business. On May 2, 1996 the arbitration panel issued a decision
against Bertek for approximately  $4,000,000.  No accrual for loss has been made
as of March 31,  1996.  The Company has  appealed  this matter and  believes the
ultimate  resolution  of this  matter  will not have a  material  effect  on the
financial statements of the Company.

     The Company is a defendant in a suit filed by a marketing company alle ging
breach of contract related to the sale and distribution of one of the Com pany's
generic   pharmaceutical   products.  The  suit  claims  damages  in  excess  of
$13,000,000.  No accrual  for loss has been made as of March 31,  1996.  A trial
date has been set for July 10,  1996.  The  ultimate  outcome of this  matter is
uncertain;  however, the Company will continue to vigorously defend its position
on this matter.

     During fiscal 1994 the Company  settled  certain legal matters  relating to
the  Company's  suit filed under the Federal  Antitrust  Laws and the  Racketeer
Influence  and  Corrupt   Organization  Act  (RICO),   receiving   approximately
$3,375,000.  Additionally  during fiscal 1994 the jury in the Company's  lawsuit
against American Cyanamid ruled in favor of Cyanamid on the Company's claims and
in favor of the  Company on  Cyanamid's  counterclaims.  No money  damages  were
awarded to either party. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld
the jury verdicts on all claims.

Independent Auditors' Report













INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
   Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:

     We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of Somerset
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the  three  years  in the  period  ended  December 31,  1995.  These
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  such consolidated  financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Somerset Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.
and  subsidiaries  as of December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND OPERATIONS

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of Somerset
     Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (the "Company")  and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
     Somerset  Pharmaceuticals  Holding  Company and Somerset  Caribe,  Inc. The
     Company  is  jointly   owned  by  Mylan   Laboratories,   Inc.  and  Watson
     Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with each owning 50% of the outstanding common stock
     of the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
     been  eliminated in  consolidation.  The Company,  incorporated in February
     1986, is engaged in the  development,  testing and marketing of drugs to be
     used in the treatment of various human  disorders.  Currently,  the Company
     manufactures  (at its plant in Puerto  Rico),  markets and sells  Eldepryl,
     which is used as a  treatment  for  Parkinson's  Disease.  The  Company has
     exclusivity  relating  to the  chemical  compound  Eldepryl,  for  use as a
     treatment for late stage Parkinson's Disease through June of 1996.

     The Company is party to an exclusive  14-year  agreement  (through November
     22,  2003) with Chinoin  Pharmaceutical  Company  ("Chinoin")  of Budapest,
     Hungary under which Eldepryl and other new potential  drugs  resulting from
     Chinoin  research are made  available  for  licensing  by the Company.  The
     license agreement  requires the Company to pay royalties equal to 7% of net
     sales of Eldepryl  including  sub-license  revenues.  The Company  incurred
     royalty expense of approximately $8,473,000,  $9,983,000 and $8,383,000 for
     the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          a.   Cash and Cash Equivalents -The Company generally  considers debt
               instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and
               investments in money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

          b.   Investment Securities  - Effective  January 1,  1994, the Company
               adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
               115,  "Accounting  for  Certain  Investments  in Debt and  Equity
               Securities." The effect of adopting SFAS No. 115 on the Company's
               financial statements was not material.  Gross proceeds from sales
               and maturities of investments approximated $4,898,000 and $70,000
               in 1995,  and $797,000 and  $750,000 in 1994,  respectively,  and
               realized gains or losses were not material. At December 31,  1995
               and 1994, the investment securities were available-for-sale,  and
               there were no material unrealized gains or losses.

          c.   Inventories  -  Inventories  are stated at the  lower-of-cost  or
               market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

          d.   Property and  Equipment  -Property  and  equipment are stated at
               cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of
               the assets by the  straight-line  method.  Estimated useful lives
               are five to seven years for machinery and equipment and furniture
               and fixtures and 35 years for the building.

          e.   Intangible  Assets   -Intangible   assets  are  amortized  on  a
               straight-line basis over 14 years.



          f.   Research and  Development  -Research and  development  costs are
               expensed as incurred.

          g.   Concentration  of Credit  Risk - The  Company's  product  is sold
               throughout the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit
               evaluation  of its  customers  financial  condition and generally
               requires no collateral from its customers.

          h.   Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - 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 the disclosure of contingent  assets
               and liabilities at the date of the financial statements,  as well
               as the  reported  amounts  of  income  and  expenses  during  the
               reporting period.

     On February 9, 1988,  the Company  granted a  sub-license  to its exclusive
     right and license to use its  technology  to Draxis  Health Inc.  (formerly
     Deprenyl Research Limited) to commercialize  certain drugs in Canada for 15
     years.  The Company  receives a royalty of 11% of Draxis  Health Inc.'s net
     sales over the license period.




     Royalty income, less related royalty expense to Chinoin,  included in other
     income  for  the  years  ended   December 31,   1995,  1994  and  1993  was
     approximately $197,000, $199,000 and $357,000, respectively.

6.      INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible  assets  primarily  represent the cost of a modification  to the
     terms of the Chinoin Agreement, less accumulated amortization of $1,254,000
     and $1,061,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

7.      CO-PROMOTIONAL AGREEMENT

     Effective  October 1, 1990,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with
     Sandoz  Pharmaceuticals  Corporation  ("Sandoz") to co-promote  the product
     Eldepryl. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make
     certain  payments to Sandoz in the event sales of Eldepryl  exceed  certain
     predefined minimums.  The agreement requires Sandoz, among other things, to
     expend, at a minimum,  a predetermined  amount for advertising  during each
     year of the agreement. Once the predetermined levels of sales are exceeded,
     the Company is required to pay Sandoz for advertising  expenditures made on
     behalf of the Company.  After Sandoz's advertising expenses are reimbursed,
     any additional  amounts are shared by Sandoz and the Company based upon the
     terms of the agreement.

     In December 1994,  the Company  amended its  co-promotional  agreement with
     Sandoz.  The amended agreement  eliminated certain residual period payments
     to Sandoz,  shortened the term to March 31,  1996, eliminated certain sales
     force detail  requirements  and requires certain payments to be made to the
     Company if a predetermined level of sales is not achieved.

     During 1995 the Company  entered into an agreement with CoCensys,  Inc. for
     the promotion of Elderpryl.  The agreement is effective January 1, 1996 and
     has an  initial  term of two years and is  renewable  annually  thereafter.
     Under the terms of the  agreement,  the Company will  compensate  CoCensys,
     Inc. based on a predetermined formula that considers both the number of new
     prescriptions written and the net sales dollars in each quarter.

     During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company  expensed  $5,304,000,  $22,360,000
     and  $24,260,000,  respectively,  pursuant to the agreement.  Additionally,
     certain  co-promotional  fees  paid by Sandoz  at the  commencement  of the
     agreement are being  recognized  ratably by the Company  during the term of
     the agreement  (six years,  expiring on March 31, 1996),  and certain costs
     associated with the procurement, negotiation and execution of the agreement
     by the  owners  of the  Company  are  being  incurred  by  the  Company  in
     approximately the same amount.
