ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

         On November 9, 2004, Impax Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") issued a
press release reporting its financial results for the third quarter of 2004 and
announcing that it intends to restate its financial results for the first and
second quarters of 2004. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit
99.1 to this report.

ITEM 4.02(a). NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A
              RELATED AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW

         On November 8, 2004, management of the Company concluded that the
Company's previously issued financial statements for the first and second
quarter of 2004 should (i) no longer be relied upon because of errors in those
financial statements and (ii) be restated to reflect the accounting adjustments
necessary to cure such errors. Accordingly, the Company will restate its
financial results for the first and second quarter of 2004, and intends to file
as soon as practicable amendments to its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
first and second quarters of 2004 to reflect the restatement.

         The restatement is required as a result of customer credits granted by
one of the Company's strategic partners on sales of the Company's buproprion
products made by the strategic partner during March 2004. The strategic partner
notified the Company of the customer credits when reporting sales of the
Company's products for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Under the terms of
the Strategic Alliance Agreement, the Company's strategic partner has sole and
exclusive right to determine all terms and conditions of sale to its customers
including pricing, discounts, allowances, price adjustments, returns and
rebates.

         The restatement will include an adjustment to the Company's reported
total revenues for the first quarter of 2004, reducing them by $4,308,000, from
$38,853,000 to $34,545,000. As a result of the restatement, the Company's
reported net income for the first quarter of 2004 is expected to decrease by
$3,832,000, from $9,048,000 to $5,216,000, and the Company's reported earnings
per share for the first quarter of 2004 is expected to decrease by $0.07 per
share ($0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis) from $0.16 per share to $0.09
per share ($0.08 per share on a fully diluted basis).

         The restatement will include an adjustment to the Company's reported
total revenues for the second quarter of 2004, reducing them by $281,000 from
$30,845,000 to $30,564,000. As a result of the restatement, the Company's
reported net income for the second quarter of 2004 is expected to decrease by
$251,000, from $572,000 to $321,000. The Company's reported earnings per share
for the second quarter of 2004 will remain $0.01 per share ($0.01 per share on a
fully diluted basis).

         The restatement will also result in corresponding changes to accounts
receivable, accrued expenses and deferred revenues, and accumulated deficit line
items in the balance sheets for those periods.

         The Company's Audit Committee and senior management discussed the
matters disclosed in this report with the Company's independent registered
public accountants, Deloitte & Touche LLP. On November 8, 2004, the Company
decided to restate its financial statements as described above.
