Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained
therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31,
1996. The results of operations for the six months ended June 27, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1997. Earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed
by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods.

2.   Components of inventory were:

3.   Income taxes are determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate,
which is less than the U.S. Federal statutory rate, primarily because of lower
tax rates in Puerto Rico and in certain non U.S. jurisdictions. Withholding and
U.S. taxes have not been provided for unremitted earnings of certain non U.S.
subsidiaries because the Company expects that such earnings have been or will be
reinvested in operations, or will be offset by appropriate credits for foreign
income taxes paid.

4.   The Company is involved in various litigation and claims arising in the
normal course of business. The Company's management believes that recovery or
liability with respect to these matters would not have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company.

5.   On July 22, 1997 the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend
of $0.13 per share, payable September 12, 1997 to stockholders of record on 
August 22, 1997.

For the quarter ended June 27, 1997 total net sales decreased 2% to $284.5
million as compared to the second quarter of 1996. Net sales for the six months
ended June 27, 1997 were $540.7 million, a 1% decrease from the comparable 1996
amount.

The impact of foreign currency changes decreased net sales by $11.8 million or
4% for the quarter and by $19.2 million or 4% for the six months ended June 27,
1997. Excluding the impact of foreign currency changes, sales increased by $6.7
million or 2% during the quarter, and $12.2 million or 2% for the six months
ended June 27, 1997.

For the three months and six months ended June 27, 1997, Eye Care
Pharmaceuticals sales decreased 4% from the comparable 1996 periods. Sales in
the United States increased $4.8 million in the quarter and $2.3 million in the
first six months of 1997 primarily as a result of sales of Alphagan(R),
introduced in the third quarter of 1996, offsetting decreases in sales of other
glaucoma products. Sales in international markets decreased by $9.1 million in
the quarter and $11.3 million in the first six months of 1997 as a result of the
negative effect of currency changes of $2.8 million in the quarter and $4.3
million for the six months ended June 27, 1997. In addition, a decrease in
sales in the second quarter in the Argentina market of $2.6 million to reduce 
wholesaler inventory positions contributed to the 1997 decreases.

Surgical sales decreased 5% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second
quarter of 1996. For the first six months of 1997, surgical sales were 3% less
than the comparable period in 1996. For the second quarter, domestic sales
decreased 7% while international sales decreased 3% from the second quarter of
1996. For the six month period ended June 27, 1997, domestic sales decreased 4%
and international sales decreased 2% compared to the first six months of 1996.
Domestic surgical sales decreased during the second quarter and for the six
months, in part, as a result of a decrease in sales of PMMA intraocular lenses.
International sales

decreased as a result of foreign currency changes. Absent the effects of foreign
currency changes, international surgical sales increased by 6% in the second
quarter and for the first six months of 1997 compared with 1996 results for
comparable periods.

Optical lens care sales of $93.4 million for the three months ended June 27,
1997 decreased by 10% from the second quarter of 1996. Sales for the six months
ended June 27, 1997 of $182.8 million decreased by 6% compared to 1996 sales.
Domestic optical sales decreased by 12% in the second quarter and by 8% in the
first six months of 1997 compared to comparable 1996 amounts. Optical sales in
international markets decreased by 9% in the second quarter and 6% in the first
six months of 1997 compared to comparable 1996 results. Domestic optical lens
care sales decreased during the second quarter and for the six months ended June
27, 1997 as a result of decreases in sales on ancillary contact lens care
products. This decrease is the result of increasing use of disposable and
frequent replacement contact lenses. International sales were negatively
impacted by foreign currency changes. Absent the effects of foreign currency
changes, international optical lens care sales decreased by 1% during the second
quarter of 1997, and increased by 1% for the first six months, compared to
comparable periods in 1996. Sales growth in international markets, primarily in
Europe, has been depressed by conversion to lower priced one bottle cold
chemical disinfection systems from peroxide based disinfection systems.

Skin Care Pharmaceuticals second quarter 1997 sales were 40% higher than the
comparable quarter in 1996. Sales for the six months ended June 27, 1997 were
19% higher than the comparable period in 1996. Tazorac(R), a topical gel used to
treat psoriasis and acne, was launched in the United States in the second
quarter of 1997 and launched in Canada in the first quarter of 1997. Zorac(R)
(the global brand name) has also been launched in Germany. Sales of
Tazorac(R)/Zorac(R) contributed the majority of sales growth in the second
quarter and for the six months ended June 27, 1997 in comparison with 1996
amounts.

Botox(R) (Botulinum Toxin Type A) purified neurotoxin complex sales increased
by 36% in the second quarter and 37% in the first six months of 1997 compared to
1996 results. The increases were the result of strong growth in both the United
States and international markets.

Allergan's gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 1997 was 64.8% of
net sales, which represents a 1.6 percentage point decrease from the second
quarter of 1996. The gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 27,
1997 was 64.4% representing a 2.2 percentage point decrease from the comparable
1996 percentage. The gross margin percentage declined in 1997 compared to 1996
primarily as a result of the negative impact of foreign currency changes,
product mix shifts, and an increase in sales allowances for product returns in
the first quarter of 1997.

Gross margin in dollars decreased by $7.9 million or 4.1% in the second quarter
and $16.7 million or 4.6% in the first six months of 1997 from comparable 1996
results. Such decreases were the result of the decreases in net sales combined
with the decreases in gross margin percentage.

OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 27, 1997 (Continued)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
- ---------------------------------

Operating income was $30.1 million for the second quarter and $53.1 million for
the six months ended June 27, 1997, compared to $0.7 million for the second
quarter and $32.0 million for the first six months of 1996. Second quarter
results in 1996 include special charges for restructuring costs of $34.2 million
and asset write-offs of $6.7 million. Excluding the impact of the special
charges in 1996, operating income was $41.6 million for the second quarter and
$72.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in operating
income in 1997 in comparison with 1996 amounts, excluding the special charges,
is primarily the result of the decreases in gross margin of $7.9 million in the
second quarter and $16.7 million for the first six months of 1997. Such
decreases were partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and
administrative expense of $1.1 million in the first six months of 1997. The
decrease in selling, general and administrative expense was the result of
reductions in costs related to the restructuring activities begun in the second
quarter of 1996 and the impact of foreign currency changes. Such items were
offset by increased costs related to new product launches, and increases in
research and development expense of $3.4 million in the second quarter and $4.2
million in the first six months of 1997.

Net earnings were $21.4 million in the second quarter and $39.2 million for the
first six months of 1997 compared to net income of $0.7 million for the second
quarter and $23.8 million for the first six months of 1996. The impact on 1996
amounts from the restructuring charge was $24.3 million net of applicable income
taxes, and from the asset write-offs was $4.8 million net of applicable income
taxes. Excluding the impact on net earnings from the restructuring charge and
asset write-offs in 1996, net earnings for the second quarter were $21.4 million
compared to $29.8 million in 1996; and for the six months ended June 27, 1997
net earnings were $39.2 million compared to $52.9 million in 1996. Net earnings,
excluding the effect of the special charges in 1996, decreased in 1997 from 1996
as a result of the decreases in operating income. Such decreases were partially
offset by decreases in income taxes on decreased 1997 earnings before income
taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

As of June 27, 1997, the Company had a medium term note program and three
long-term credit facilities, one of which supports a commercial paper borrowing
arrangement. The note program allows the Company to issue up to $200 million in
notes. The credit facilities allow for borrowings of up to $17.2 million through
February 1998, $31.8 million through 1999, $250 million through 2001, and $43
million through 2003. Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to
certain financial and operating covenants, including a requirement that the
Company maintain certain financial ratios, and other customary covenants for
credit facilities of similar kind. As of June 27, 1997, the Company had $75
million in borrowings under the note program and $81.3 million in borrowings
under two of the credit facilities.

As of June 27, 1997, the Company had commercial paper borrowings of $63.8
million. As of June 27, 1997, the Company has classified $42.6 million of
short-term borrowings under the credit facilities and $33.8 million of its
commercial paper borrowings as a long-term debt based upon the Company's

ability to maintain such debt under terms of the credit facilities described
above. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended
June 27, 1997 was $48.6 million compared with $56.7 million for the first six
months of 1996. Net cash flows from operating activities decreased in 1997
compared to 1996, primarily as a result of the decrease in earnings excluding
the effect of the special charges in 1996. Most of the Company's existing cash
and equivalents are held by its non-U.S. subsidiaries and will be reinvested 
in operations outside the United States.

The Company invested $20.7 million in new facilities and equipment during the
six months ended June 27, 1997 compared to $24.9 million during the comparable
period in 1996.

Cash used in financing activities was $5.8 million in the six months ended June
27, 1997 compared to $8.0 million cash used in financing activities in the
comparable period in 1996. The amounts include dividend outflows of $16.8
million in 1997 and $15.3 million in 1996 and $34.0 million for the repurchase
of stock in 1997.
