                       PAR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, INC.
        UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  JULY 4, 2004
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

     The  following  unaudited   condensed   consolidated  pro  forma  financial
statements  have been  prepared to give effect to Par  Pharmaceutical Companies,
Inc. ("Par" or the "Company")  acquisition of Kali Laboratories,  Inc. ("Kali").
These pro forma statements are presented for illustrative purposes only.

     The  pro  forma  adjustments  are  based  upon  available  information  and
assumptions  that Par believes are reasonable.  A preliminary  allocation of the
purchase price for the above transaction has not been completed. A determination
of the fair value of the underlying  assets acquired and liabilities  assumed is
in process.  It is expected that a significant portion of the allocation will be
made to  in-process  research  and  development,  which  will be  expensed  upon
recognition. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements
do not purport to  represent  what the  consolidated  results of  operations  or
financial  position  of Par  would  actually  have been if the  acquisition  had
occurred  on the dates  referred  to below,  nor do they  purport to project the
results of operations or financial position of Par for any future period.

     The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the six month period ended July 4, 2004
were  prepared by combining  Par's  statement of operations  for the  respective
periods with Kali's statement of operations for the similar respective  periods,
giving effect to the  acquisition  as though it occurred on the first day of the
respective  fiscal year.  Par's statements for the six months ended July 4, 2004
include the results of Kali from the acquisition date. The accompanying combined
financial statements of Kali include the accounts of VGS Holdings, Inc. ("VGS"),
which are under common control.

     These unaudited  condensed  consolidated pro forma statements of operations
do not give effect to any  restructuring  costs or any potential cost savings or
other  operating  efficiencies  that could result from the  acquisition,  or any
non-recurring  charges  or  credits  resulting  from  the  transaction  such  as
in-process research and development charges.

     The unaudited condensed  consolidated pro forma financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the historical  financial statements of Par included
in its Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31, 2003 (filed
March 15, 2004).

     On June  10,  2004,  the  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of Kali for
$140,430 in cash and $2,530 in warrants. The purchase price included forgiving a
$10,000 loan made by the Company to Kali in March 2004. The estimated fair value
of the Kali  assets  acquired  was not  readily  determinable  at July 4,  2004.
Therefore,  the net purchase price of Kali is currently being reflected on Par's
balance sheet as unallocated purchase price of $142,960.
