                        PHARMACEUTICAL RESOURCES, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1994
                                  (UNAUDITED)

Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. ("PRI") operates in one business segment, the
manufacture and distribution of generic pharmaceuticals. Marketed products are
principally in oral solid form (tablet, caplet, and capsule), with a small
number in the form of creams and liquids.

BASIS OF PREPARATION:

The accompanying financial statements as at December 31, 1994 and for the three-
month periods ended December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994 are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management of PRI such statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair
statement of the information presented therein. The balance sheet as at October
1, 1994 was derived from the audited financial statements at such date.

Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial
statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly,
these statements should be read in conjunction with PRI's most recent annual
financial statements.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
those to be achieved for full fiscal years.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PRI and its 
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Par") and seven others, 
the activities of which are not significant. References herein to the "Company"
refer to PRI and its subsidiaries.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

The remaining assets and liabilities of Quad Pharmaceuticals, Inc., discontinued
in a prior year, have been classified on the balance sheet as such to separately
identify them. Estimated current liabilities of discontinued operations as at
December 31, 1994 consist primarily of notes payable $813,000, amounts due to
customers $1,657,000, and accrued expenses and accounts payable of $368,000.

SETTLEMENT:

The Company has resolved claims against former management members for recovery
of, among other things, salaries and monies paid for indemnification. The
settlement valued at $2,000,000, consists of payments in cash and/or securities
of the Company.

TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS:

Investments include certificates of deposit of $178,000 in the quarter ended
December 31, 1994 and $176,000 in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS:

 Legal Proceedings:

The Company is involved in minor litigation matters, including a certain product
liability action, incidental to the conduct of its business, but does not
believe that the ultimate resolution thereof will have a material adverse effect
on its financial statements, considered as a whole.

The Company received a warning letter in May 1994 from the United States Food
and Drug Administration (the "FDA") setting forth certain alleged deviations
from current good manufacturing practice regulations and alleged violations of
related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The warning
letter does not limit the manufacture of the Company's product line nor suspend
the review and approval of applications pending at the FDA. The FDA indicated
that it would shortly complete its review of the Company response and that a
mutually amenable working relationship continues between the FDA and the
Company. No assurances can be given that the outcome of the FDA review will not
have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES

Net sales of $17,031,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994 decreased
$889,000, or 5%, from net sales of $17,920,000 for the three months ended
January 1, 1994. Sales of manufactured products increased $1,407,000, or 10%,
due to both an increase in quantities sold and price increases on the existing
product line. These increases in quantities sold, including one product with
decreased competition, and in price have resulted in an increase of manufactured
sales from the comparable period the prior year for three consecutive quarters.
Sales of distributed products decreased $2,296,000, or 61%, principally as a
result of reduced units and lower selling prices due to competition.

Sales for the quarters ended December 31, 1994 and January 1, 1994 were derived
as follows (dollars in thousands):



                                             THREE MONTHS ENDED
                                             ------------------            
                                  December 31, 1994      January 1, 1994
                                  -----------------      ---------------
                                 Amount   % of Total   Amount   % of Total
                                 ------   ----------   ------   ----------
                                                    
 
     Manufacturing activities    $15,541         91%   $14,134      79%
     Distribution activities     $ 1,490          9%   $ 3,786      21%


Increases in sales are dependent on, among other things, (i) successful approval
of additional Abbreviated New Drug Applications, (ii) increased market
penetration of the existing product line, (iii) continued introduction of new
distributed product, (iv) reintroduction of previously manufactured product, and
(v) the level of customer service.

GROSS MARGIN

The Company's gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 was
$6,300,000 (37% of net sales) compared to $6,135,000 (34% of net sales) for the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The gross margins for
manufactured and distributed products were 38% and 22%, respectively, for the
first quarters of both fiscal 1995 and 1994. Total gross margin improved because
of the greater weight of manufacturing sales as a percentage of total sales this
quarter compared to the same quarter last year.

Both gross margin and sales have been negatively impacted by the trend of major
branded pharmaceutical companies to directly launch their patented drugs as
generics prior to patent expiration. This added competition has had a negative
impact on the Company's sales and margins as distribution channels are either
closed or severely limited, and the Company lowers its prices in response to
these additional competitive pressures.

Inventory write-offs, which reduce gross margin and are taken in the normal
course of business, amounted to $279,000 (2% of net sales) during the quarter
ended December 31, 1994, a reduction of $81,000 from the $360,000 (2% of net
sales) in write-offs taken during the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.

OPERATING EXPENSES

 Research and Development

Research and development costs for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 were
$816,000 (5% of net sales) versus $689,000 (4% of net sales) for the quarter
ended January 1, 1994. Management made a commitment to increase its annual
investments in research and development efforts. These costs include personnel,
biostudies, and other such expenses necessary to develop new products. In
addition, the Company continues to pursue alternatives to internal product
development efforts, such as joint ventures, licensing agreements and additional
distribution agreements. Included in research and development expenses during
the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was $228,000 which the Company advanced to Sano
Corporation. The Company now has three products under development for
transdermal delivery systems.

                                      -7-

 
 Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $779,000, or 23%, to
$4,169,000 (24% of net sales) for the quarter ended December 31, 1994 from
$3,390,000 (19% of net sales) for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal
year. The increase in the level of expenses was primarily related to
nonrecurring expenses amounting to $397,000 incurred in connection with the
Company's response to the FDA's warning letter (see "Notes to Financial
Statements -- Contingencies and Other Matters"). The Company also incurred
expenses with the initiation of an estimated eighteen-month process of
installing a new software system, the phase-out in the quarter of a previously
used independent sales organization, and higher selling expenses related to the
additional internal sales staff.

 Settlement

The Company was the plaintiff in proceedings against individuals in connection
with their actions as former managers of Par. A settlement was reached wherein
the Company will receive $2,000,000 (see "Notes to Financial Statements --
Settlement").

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital of $21,942,000 represents an increase of $2,210,000 from the
last fiscal year-end principally as a result of the settlement of the lawsuit
brought by the Company against former members of management. The working capital
ratio of 2.7:1 improved from 2.4:1 at year-end. Working capital for the quarter
ended January 1, 1994, was $21,172,000 and the working capital ratio was 2.0:1.
 
The Company's obligations, in the short term, to fund research and development
under various option and joint development agreements are not expected to have a
material effect upon cash flow or liquidity. The Company revised the terms of
its exclusive option from Bio-Pharma, Inc. and CT Holdings S.A., and paid
$200,000 plus 15,000 shares of common stock of the Company in January 1995, to
enable further evaluation of the compound and will pay additional amounts as
various testing stages are completed. If the Company exercises its option, it
will be required to pay $3,000,000 and incur significant additional expenses for
the necessary clinical trials and biostudies in order to file a New Drug
Application with the FDA. If the Company incurs this capital commitment, it
expects to fund any obligations with cash provided by operations to the extent
that such cash is available. In the absence of sufficient cash from operations,
the Company may be required to seek funds from other sources.

The Company is currently exploring various possible strategic business
transactions designed to strengthen and expand its operations, including joint
ventures, equity infusions by third parties and business combinations. If the
Company were to consummate any such strategic transaction, it could have a
material effect on the Company's operations and/or financial condition. There
can be no assurances that any such transaction will be effected in the
reasonably foreseeable future or, if a transaction is effected, what the terms
and conditions thereof would be.

While it is anticipated that operating activities during fiscal year 1995 will
generate cash, the Company expects to expend significant funds for increased
research and development efforts and further capital improvements. Although the
Company expects cash to be generated from operating activities to be sufficient
to fund its operations and research and development efforts, it obtained an
intermediate term bank financing to ensure implementation of its plans (see
"--Financing").

FINANCING

At December 31, 1994, the Company's debt of $6,549,000 is on a long-term basis
and $5,766,000 is scheduled to be repaid in monthly installments through fiscal
1999. The Company maintains a $7,000,000 revolving credit facility with a bank
which expires March 1996. At December 31, 1994, no borrowings were outstanding
under the revolving credit facility. The Company and the bank which provides the
revolving credit facility have entered into a $4,000,000 secured term loan, for
capital expenditures, which may be borrowed during the second quarter of fiscal
1995.
