E. On October 2, 1998, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company acquired 100%
of the outstanding stock of Penederm Inc.("Penederm"). Penederm primarily
develops and markets patented topical prescription products. Penederm
maintains administrative and research and development facilities in Foster
City, California.
The business combination has been accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. Payment of approximately $207,236,000 was made through the
issuance of 5,905,029 shares of the Company's common stock and the
assumption of approximately 877,000 stock options granted prior to the
transaction. Goodwill and various intangibles acquired total approximately
$192,000,000 and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods
not to exceed 20 years.
As previously reported, the Company expected to record a one-time charge
estimated at $150,000,000 for acquired in-process research and development
("IPR&D") based on a preliminary valuation by an independent expert.
However, the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequently issued new
guidance relating to the methodology used in determining the value of
IPR&D. Based on this new guidance, the Company received a substantially
lower final independent valuation for Penederm's IPR&D, which was used as
the basis for the one-time charge of $29,000,000 recorded for the quarter
ended December 31, 1998.
The results of Penederm's operations have been included in the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Earnings from the date of acquisition. Unaudited
pro forma information assuming the acquisition had occurred on April 1,
1997 is as follows, excluding the one-time charge of the $29,000,000

Company and certain subsidiaries alleging patent infringement relating to
the marketing of its nitroglycerin transdermal system. The Company
received FDA approval for its nitroglycerin transdermal system in
September 1996 and immediately began marketing the product. The relief
sought includes a preliminary and permanent injunction, treble damages
along with interest and attorney's fees and expenses. On September 25,
1998, Key's request for a preliminary injunction was denied. The trial
stage of this proceeding is completed and the judge's ruling is
forthcoming. The Company continues to believe the suit is without merit
and will vigorously defend its position.

H. On December 22, 1998, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed suit in
federal district court for the District of Columbia against the Company.
The FTC alleges that the Company violated Section 5(a) of the Federal
Trade Commission Act (the "FTC Act") with respect to two generic drugs
manufactured and sold by the Company (lorazepam and clorazepate).
Specifically, the FTC's complaint alleges the Company engaged in restraint
of trade, monopolization, attempted monopolization, and conspiracy to
monopolize, arising out of certain agreements involving the supply of raw
materials used to manufacture these drugs. The FTC also sued in the same
case the foreign supplier of the raw materials, the supplier's parent
company and its United States distributor. The relief sought includes an
injunction barring the Company from engaging in conduct that violates
Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, rescission of certain agreements and
disgorgement in excess of $120 million.
In a parallel case also filed on the same day Attorney Generals for ten
states, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin (the "States"),
joined together to file a single lawsuit against the Company in the same
court. The complaint filed by the States asserts claims pursuant to
Section 1 and 2 of the federal Sherman Act against the same parties as
those named in the FTC suit and one other distributor not named by the
FTC. These claims are analogous to the claims brought by the FTC under
Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, and are based on similar allegations. The
States' complaint also alleges violations of the respective states'
competition laws. The States further allege a per se violation of Section
1 of the Sherman Act with respect to the pricing of raw material used in
the manufacture of lorazepam (an allegation not made by the FTC). Without
specifying a dollar amount, the States seek relief similar to that sought
by the FTC and up to treble damages. The complaint was amended in February
1999 to include 22 additional states as plaintiffs.
The Company is aware of 13 putative class actions filed by private parties
in various state and federal courts involving the same conduct alleged in
the complaints brought by the FTC and the States, as well as alleged
violations of state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits seek an
unspecified amount of damages.
In addition, on January 11, 1999, a class action suit was filed in federal
district court for the Western District of Pennsylvania alleging
violations of federal securities laws by the Company and certain directors
and officers of the Company. The suit alleges that the Company failed to
disclose monopolization of certain raw materials used to manufacture
lorazepam and clorazepate pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20 of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10 b-5 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The alleged class period is from February 17, 1998 to
December 5, 1998. Without specifying a dollar amount, the suit seeks
compensatory damages.
The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims in all
of these suits and intends to vigorously defend them. Although the Company
believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims, an adverse result in
these suits could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position and results of operations.

PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
On October 2, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition of Penederm Inc.
("Penederm"). The acquisition is being accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting. The preceding financial statements reflect 1) the issuance of 5.9
million new shares of the Company's common stock to facilitate the acquisition,
2) the results of Penederm's operations from the date of acquisition, 3) expense
resulting from the amortization of intangible assets acquired and 4) a one-time
charge of $29 million relating to acquired in-process research and development
("IPR&D").
Based on a preliminary valuation provided by an independent valuation
expert, the Company had anticipated the one-time charge for IPR&D would be
approximately $150 million. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission
subsequently issued new guidance relating to the methodology used in determining
the value of IPR&D, which substantially reduced the final independent valuation.
As a direct result of the new guidance, the Company recorded goodwill and
various other intangible assets of approximately $192 million. This amount is
significantly higher than the amounts contemplated in the Company's registration
statement on Form S-4 dated August 20, 1998 and will result in future
amortization expense being higher than that contemplated in the registration
statement by approximately $0.01 per share per quarter.
All references to per share amounts in this Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based on diluted
common shares.
Results of Operations
Net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 1998 were $8,154,000
($.06 per share) representing a 63% decease over the same period a year ago and
for the nine months then ended were $79,551,000 ($.63 per share) representing a
15% increase over the same period a year ago. Excluding the one-time charge for
acquired IPR&D, net earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 were $37.2
million ($0.29 per share) representing a 69% increase over the same quarter a
year ago and the net earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 were
$108.6 million ($0.86 per share) representing a 57% increase over the comparable
period a year ago.

Net Sales and Gross Profits
The improvements in recurring net earnings relate primarily to higher
revenues and gross profits. The following table provides total revenues (net
sales and other revenues) and gross profit dollars (total revenues less cost of
sales) for the Company's primary operating divisions: ($ in millions)
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

Gross Profit 19.2 9.3 106% 38.2 24.1 59%
G.P. % 69% 62% 66% 60%
The generic division includes Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and UDL Laboratories
Inc. The branded division includes Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Penederm Inc.
The Company's branded division was favorably impacted by the acquisition
of Penederm as previously discussed. Penederm had net sales of $10 million with
gross profits of $7.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Bertek
Pharmaceuticals Inc. achieved 20% revenue growth and improvements in gross
profit margins over the prior year three and nine month periods as newer branded
product sales replaced the declining wound care product sales.
The growth in the current three and nine months periods in the Company's
generic division resulted primarily from the favorable impact of selective price
increases on 14 products, seven of which were implemented in the last half of
fiscal 1998 and seven more which were implemented in the quarter ended June 30,
1998. Gross profits resulting from the addition of nine products to the generic
product line after December 31, 1997 and higher volume were not sufficient to
offset the impact of price deterioration for products marketed prior to December
31, 1997. The Company estimates that such price deterioration resulted in
reduced net sales and gross profits of $17.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and $32.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 1998
as compared to the same periods in the prior year.
The decision to increase prices was made in light of continued price
deterioration and increased costs involved in bringing new products to market,
primarily resulting from legal challenges under the Hatch-Waxman Act. The
products selected for increase and the amounts of the increases were based on
numerous factors including, product line contribution, market size, competition,
raw material suppliers and manufacturing capacity. The Company chose to increase
prices and plans to continue to review its products and pricing strategies in
order to ensure that the Company's full line of low-cost, effective, quality
generic alternatives remain available to the American public.
-10-
In December 1998, actions were commenced by the Federal Trade Commission
("FTC") and ten states, in addition to a number of private actions, which allege
violations of federal and state antitrust laws in connection with certain drugs
manufactured and sold by the Company (see note H). At issue in the FTC
litigation are contracts executed in 1997, between the Company and its raw
materials supplier, Profarmaco S.r.l., relating to the active pharmaceutical
ingredients used by the Company to manufacture generic versions of clorazepate
and lorazepam. The FTC claims that the exclusivity provisions of these contracts
violated antitrust laws. The agreements were terminated as of January 1, 1999.
As referenced above, the Company raised the prices of clorazepate,
lorazepam, methyclothiazide and certain other products during late 1997 through
June 1998. These increases had a substantial favorable impact on earnings in the
nine months ended December 31, 1998. Since June 30, 1998, aggregate prices on
these three products described above have dropped by approximately 18%. Due to
the highly competitive nature of the generic industry, the Company expects to
see continued price deterioration on these products, which could adversely
affect the Company's future operating results.
Research and Development
Expenditures for research and development were $12.3 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 1998 and $39.7 million for the nine months then
ended. The Company remains committed to funding research projects for branded,
generic and transdermal products in order to grow its various product lines.
The Company entered into an agreement with Genpharm Inc. to co-develop 15
branded and generic products. The Company will exclusively market and distribute
the products in the United States. This transaction was recorded in the quarter
ended December 31, 1998.
Since 1994, the Company has been providing funding to VivoRx Inc.
("VivoRx"), a California based research and development company which was
pursuing novel diabetes related research. The Company suspended cash funding for
periods after March 31, 1998, but continued to accrue $2.5 million per quarter
in the June and September 1998 quarters, pending resolution of certain
accounting irregularities on the part of VivoRx.
Litigation has commenced between the Company, VivoRx, certain VivoRx
officers and directors, and certain companies owned or controlled by those
officers and directors. Based on recent developments in this matter, the Company
has determined that it will not provide additional funding to VivoRx under its
current management and corporate structure. The decision to discontinue funding
of VivoRx may result in the termination of a licensing agreement whereby the
Company had secured North American marketing rights to VivoRx technology used in

Selling and administrative expenses were $36.0 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1998 and $89.4 million for the nine months then ended.
These amounts represent 69% and 23% increases over the comparable periods a year
ago.
Expenses relating to Penederm of $5.1 million, including amortization
expense, are included in the current quarter.
-11-
Legal and professional expenses were $6.8 million for the quarter and
$14.7 million year to date this year compared to $2.5 million and $5.9 million
for the same periods a year ago. The increase in these costs is primarily due to
legal expenditures relating to patent challenges under the Hatch-Waxman Act,
legal actions between the Company and VivoRx, and the FTC and related
litigation.
Generic advertising and promotions, including costs related to stocking
allowances and similar programs associated with the launch of new generic
products were $3.4 million for the quarter and $10.6 million year to date this
year compared to $1.8 million and $12.9 million last year.
Excluding Penederm, payroll and payroll related expenses charged to
selling and administrative were $11.0 million for the quarter and $32.9 million
year to date compared to $8.9 million and $26.0 million last year.
Income Tax Expense
Excluding the one-time charge of $29 million for acquired IPR&D, which is
not deductible for income tax purposes, the effective tax rate for the quarter
and year to date periods ended December 31, 1998 was 35% and 34% compared to 29%
and 31% last year. The primary cause of the increase relates to higher levels of
domestic generated income as opposed to income attributable to products
manufactured in Puerto Rico for which the Company receives certain federal tax
credits.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
Working capital increased from $358,752,000 at March 31, 1998 to
$441,239,000 at December 31, 1998. The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 5.9 to 1 at December 31, 1998 compared to 6.0 to 1 at March 31,
1998.
Net cash provided from operating activities was $108,151,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1998 compared to $34,878,000 for the same period last
year. This improvement resulted primarily from increased net earnings adjusted
for non-cash expenses including allowances on accounts receivable and the
write-off of acquired IPR&D and the timing of tax payments. The changes in
accounts receivable and inventory correspond to the changes in sales of the
Company's products.
The Company's current capital expenditures are being funded through
operating profits.
During the current year, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock
of Penederm. The purchase price of approximately $207,236,000 was satisfied
principally through the issuance of the Company's common stock.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims in
all the suits described in note H, an adverse result in these suits could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition, due
to the size of the FTC's disgorgement claim and the threat of treble damages
sought by the States, as well as possible damages in the other suits. The
Company expects to incur substantial costs in defending itself in these actions.

Year 2000
The Company has completed an initial review of its critical information
technology ("IT") and non-IT operating systems for Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance.
Y2K compliance refers to the issue of systems and equipment having date
sensitive components being able to recognize the year 2000. On the basis of this
review and the processes described below, management believes that the costs of
remediation and potential losses related to Y2K issues are unlikely to have a
material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In assessing potential Y2K issues, the Company has or is taking the
following steps to address its IT and non-IT operating systems:
- Formed a project team across functional departments to complete a
review and identify nonconforming systems.
- Communicated to employees throughout the Company to increase
awareness of issues and activate the identification process.
- Identified critical IT and non-IT nonconforming operating systems and
developed a plan to bring these systems into compliance.
- Corresponded with customers, vendors, service suppliers and financial
institutions to verify their readiness.
- stablished a testing program to ensure that such systems are compliant.
- Developed contingency plans where practical in the event of system
failures.
Because of the continued growth of the Company over the last several years
and prior to the formation of the project team, the Company initiated major
system conversions to accommodate the physical expansion and increased
transaction volume associated with this growth. Many factors were considered
during the selection process. While Y2K compliance was one of the factors
considered, other factors were equally and significantly more important. Any new
systems selected were expected to be and are believed to be Y2K compliant.
Due to the recent independent upgrades and replacements of its computer
systems to accommodate its growth, the Company has not been required to spend
nor does it anticipate spending significant incremental funds to become Y2K
compliant. The funds for system conversions will be financed through operating
revenue of the Company. Such conversions are currently on schedule and are
expected to meet the testing schedule established by the project team. The
Company has neither delayed nor anticipates delaying any significant information
system projects prior to the year 2000.
Management believes that the Company has acted with appropriate diligence
to address potential Y2K issues. The Company is, however, dependent on third
parties, such as its customers, vendors, raw material suppliers, service
suppliers which includes energy, water, communication and transportation and
financial institutions, to make their own systems Y2K compliant. If these
entities fail to remedy their Y2K issues, the Company could potentially suffer
interruptions in its business operations. These interruptions could potentially
delay the Company in its manufacturing or distribution of some or all its
products for an undeterminable amount of time. In addition, the Company could
experience the corruption of data in its own internal information systems. Such
corruption could lead to temporary interruptions in certain isolated business
operations. These interruptions may or may not lead to an adverse impact on the
Company's overall business operations.
-13-
The project team continues to evaluate and update contingency plans. These
plans are developed based on third party correspondence regarding the status of
their Y2K readiness and the results of testing performed on the Company's
internal systems. While the project team continues to develop plans for the more
likely scenarios of possible business interruptions, there can be no assurance
that the project team will identify and develop successful contingency plans for
all of the business interruptions that could possibly occur.
Forward Looking Statements
The statements set forth in this Item 2 under Results of Operations
concerning the manner in which the Company intends to conduct its future
operations, and potential trends that may impact future results of operations,
are forward-looking statements. The Company may be unable to realize its plans
and objectives due to various important factors, including, but not limited to,
the factors described under Forward Looking Statements in Item 7 of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998.
In addition, the statements in this Item 2 under -Year 2000 which express
the Company's belief that Y2K issues will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company may also be forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause
the Company to be unable to avoid any material Y2K issues include, but are not
limited to, the failure of its Y2K project team to identify latent or other
non-compliant codes or technologies, the failure of any of the customers,
vendors, service suppliers or financial institutions with which the Company
transacts business to address their own Y2K issues or the ineffectiveness of any
contingent plans implemented by the Company to mitigate the effects of
interruptions in its business due to Y2K issues.
