                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations for interim
financial information. These financial statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for annual financial statements. The consolidated financial
information as of December 31, 2001 has been derived from audited financial
statements; certain amounts from the three and six months ended June 30, 2001
have been reclassified for consistent presentation with current year financial
statements. It is presumed that users of this interim financial information have
read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal
year, which were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in
these interim financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full year.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from such estimates and changes in such estimates may affect
amounts reported in future periods.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements". SAB 101 specifically addresses revenue recognition issues related
to certain upfront payments or fees. In accordance with SAB 101, certain upfront
fees and payments recognized as income in prior periods are required to be
deferred and amortized into revenue over the terms of the relevant agreements or
as the on-going services are performed. For the three and six months ended June
30, 2002, the Company recognized $83,000 and $167,000 of revenue related to the
amortization of these deferred amounts, respectively. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recognized $105,000 and $333,000 of
revenue related to the amortization of these deferred amounts, respectively.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"). Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite
lived intangible assets are no longer amortized, but must be reviewed at least
annually for impairment. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company identified
reporting units and related goodwill, as defined by SFAS No. 142, and tested the
goodwill for impairment, as of December 31, 2001, using the expected present
value of future cash flows approach. As a result of this valuation process, as
well as the application of the remaining provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company
concluded that there was no impairment of goodwill related to any of the
Company's reporting units. SFAS No. 142 also states that goodwill and intangible
assets acquired after June 30, 2001 should not be amortized. For acquisitions
completed subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company recorded $51.0 million of
indefinite-lived intangible assets and $159.7 million of goodwill. These assets
are not subject to amortization. The statement was effective for fiscal years
beginning after December


                                       7


15, 2001. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company amortized goodwill
related to acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2001 over estimated useful
lives ranging from 3 to 20 years. Amortization of goodwill totaled $166,000 and
$340,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill related to such
acquisitions.

On March 28, 2002, the Company entered into a $175 million senior secured credit
facility consisting of a $75.0 million five-year revolving credit facility and a
$100 million five-year term loan facility. The term loan facility amortizes over
the full five-year term, with amortization of $5.0 million, $15.0 million, $20.0
million, $25.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively, in years one through
five. As of June 30, 2002, the Company has paid $3.3 million of the first year's
required payment plus $4.7 million of future required payments. The availability
of borrowings under the revolving credit facility is not limited by a borrowing
base. The senior credit facilities provide for variable interest rates based on
LIBOR or an alternate base rate, at the Company's option. On June 30, 2002,
30-day LIBOR was 1.84%. Such facilities are guaranteed by all domestic
subsidiaries and secured by a security interest on substantially all domestic
assets, all of the stock of domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of
material foreign subsidiaries. The senior credit facilities require the payment
of certain commitment fees based on the unused portion of the revolving credit
facility. These senior credit facilities may be prepaid at any time without a
premium.

On March 28, 2002, the Company issued $175 million of senior subordinated notes
due April 1, 2010. The proceeds from the issuance of these notes were $173.9
million, which was net of the original issue discount. This discount will be
charged to interest expense over the term of the notes. These notes have a fixed
interest rate of 11% per annum and are guaranteed on a subordinated basis by all
existing domestic subsidiaries and all future domestic subsidiaries that are
owned 80% or more by the Company. The notes are not secured. Prior to the third
anniversary of the date of issuance of the notes, up to 35% of the notes are
redeemable with the proceeds of qualified sales of equity at 111% of par value.
The terms of the senior credit facilities first require repayment of all of the
indebtedness under these facilities before repurchase of any of the notes. On or
after the fourth anniversary of the date of issuance of the notes, all or any
portion of the notes are redeemable at declining premiums to par value,
beginning at 105.5%.

On March 28, 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
effectively convert interest rate expense on $140 million of senior subordinated
notes for the term of the notes from an 11% fixed annual rate to a floating
annual rate equal to 6-month LIBOR plus 4.78%. On May 30, 2002, the Company sold
this swap agreement and received $4.1 million. This amount, less the interest
benefit earned through May 30, 2002, has been recorded as a premium to the
carrying amount of the notes and will be amortized into interest income over
their remaining life. Concurrent with the sale of the interest rate


                                       11


swap, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement which
effectively converted $150 million of the notes from an 11% fixed annual rate to
a floating rate equal to 6-month LIBOR plus 5.28%. On June 30, 2002, 6-month
LIBOR was 1.96%. On August 5, 2002, the Company sold this new swap agreement for
$5.6 million, which will also be recorded as a premium to the carrying amount of
the notes and amortized into interest income over their remaining life, and
entered into another interest rate swap agreement on similar terms as the May
30, 2002 agreement, at a floating rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 5.95%.

Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility and the senior
subordinated notes, the Company is required to comply with various covenants
including, but not limited to, those pertaining to maintenance of certain
financial ratios and incurring additional indebtedness. The Company was in
compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2002.

6. ACQUISITIONS

On March 28, 2002, the Company acquired the U.S. rights to the Darvon and
Darvocet-N branded product lines, which treat mild to moderate pain, and
existing inventory from Eli Lilly and Company, in a business combination
accounted for as a purchase. The Company acquired these product lines and
related intangible assets for $211.4 million. To finance this acquisition, which
included $1.8 million of inventory, the Company used the proceeds from the
senior secured credit facilities and senior subordinated notes, as described in
note 5. The Darvon and Darvocet-N product lines did not have separable assets
and liabilities associated with them, other than inventory, therefore the
Company allocated the purchase price, including acquisition related expenses, to
acquired identifiable assets, with the excess of the purchase price over the
identifiable tangible and intangible assets recorded as goodwill. Based on this
allocation, $51.2 million of intangible assets have been identified and will be
amortized over 20 years. The excess of the purchase price over identifiable
intangible assets has been classified as goodwill, which is not subject to
amortization.

to fluctuations. Quarterly results can fluctuate as a result of a number of
factors, including without limitation, the commencement, completion or
cancellation of large contracts, demand for our pharmaceutical product lines,
ability of contract manufacturers to supply conforming products on a timely
basis, costs and results of ongoing and future litigation by and against us,
progress of ongoing contracts, amounts recognized for licensing and royalty
revenues, timing and amounts of start-up expenses for new facilities, timing and
level of research and development expenditures, and changes in the mix of
services. Because a large percentage of our operating costs are relatively
fixed, variations in the timing and progress of large contracts, changes in the
demand for our services and products, or the recognition of licensing and
royalty revenues (on projects for which associated expense may have been
recognized in prior periods) can materially affect our quarterly results.
Accordingly, we believe that comparisons of our quarterly financial results may
not be meaningful.

SECOND QUARTER 2002 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2001

Our consolidated net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased 106%
to $61.4 million, from $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2001. Net revenues
from product sales increased to $34.7 million in 2002, from $2.1 million in
2001, due to sales of our M.V.I., Aquasol and Brethine products, which we
acquired in the second half of 2001 and sales of Darvon and Darvocet-N, which we
acquired at the end of the first quarter of 2002. Because these acquired product
lines will contribute revenues for the full year ending December 31, 2002, we
have planned for significantly increased net revenues and expense from these
product lines for 2002. Net revenues from commercial manufacturing of products
marketed by other pharmaceutical companies, which is included in product sales,
contributed $0.8 million and $2.1 million to net revenues from product sales in
the second quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Net revenues from product development increased 31% in the second quarter of
2002 to $6.5 million, from $5.0 million in 2001, primarily due to an increase in
product development revenues under our significant development agreement, from
$4.1 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $5.7 million in the second quarter
of 2002. This development agreement is described in the "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of our
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. We expect product
development revenues to be slightly lower on a quarterly basis over the
remainder of the year.

Net revenues from our research revenues business decreased 11% in the second
quarter of 2002 to $20.3 million, from $22.8 million in 2001. Non-clinical
research revenues decreased by 8% in 2002 to $14.5 million, a decrease of $1.3
million over the prior year, due primarily to a lower level of bioanalytical
revenues in our U.S. operations and Phase I pre-clinical revenues in Europe.
Clinical research revenues decreased by 17% in 2002 to $5.8 million, from $7.0
million in 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to the re-deployment
of a portion of our internal resources and capabilities from external
revenue-producing projects to internal research and development projects.

Gross margin dollars, or net revenues less direct costs, increased $24.8
million, or 170%, to $39.4 million, from $14.6 million in the second quarter of
2001, reflecting the benefit from our increased product sales revenues in 2002
over the prior year. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margin dollars
increased to 64% in the second quarter of 2002 from 49% in the second quarter of
2001. The higher margins generated by our product sales business were partially
offset by decreases in revenues and gross margin percentage from our research
revenues business.

Selling expenses increased 99% in the second quarter of 2002 to $5.8 million,
from $2.9 million in 2001. This increase is primarily due to additional selling
expenses incurred by our product sales business associated with marketing and
promoting our new products, maintaining and enhancing distribution channels, and
developing our product sales force. As a percentage of net revenues, selling
expenses in the second quarter of 2002 decreased slightly from the second
quarter of 2001.

General and administrative costs increased 83% in the second quarter of 2002 to
$11.7 million, from $6.4 million in 2001. This increase was primarily due to
expenses related to the management build-up for our product sales business. As a
percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses in the second
quarter of 2002 decreased to 19%, from 21% in the second quarter of 2001, a
trend that we expect to continue throughout the year.


                                       23


Research and development expenses were approximately 9% of net revenues, or $5.6
million, in the second quarter of 2002, an increase from 6% of net revenues, or
$1.8 million, in 2001. This increase resulted primarily from clinical trials we
started in the first quarter of 2002 for our ProSorb-D pain management product.
In general, we target annual research and development expenses to be
approximately 8% to 10% of our estimated net revenues.

There were no direct pharmaceutical start-up costs recorded in the second
quarter of 2002, as compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2001.
These costs were incurred prior to our acquisition of any pharmaceutical product
lines in 2001 and were expensed as incurred.

Net interest expense increased to $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2002,
from $0.3 million in 2001. This $6.3 million increase is primarily attributable
to the borrowings that funded our product line acquisitions in the second half
of 2001 and the first quarter of 2002. We have planned for significantly higher
net interest expense in 2002, arising from the debt incurred to fund these
acquisitions.

Consolidated income from operations was $16.3 million in the second quarter of
2002, or $13.8 million higher than the prior year. This increase is primarily
due to the expansion of our product sales business. This increase was partially
offset by decreases in our research revenues business and our increased R&D
spending.

Income from operations for our product sales business was $21.4 million in the
second quarter of 2002, compared to a loss from operations of ($0.4) million in
the prior year. This increase is attributable to the revenues from our M.V.I.,
Aquasol, Brethine, Darvon and Darvocet-N product lines, which we acquired in the
second half of 2001 and first quarter of 2002.

Income from operations for our product development business was $0.9 million in
the second quarter of 2002, compared to income from operations of $3.2 million
in 2001. This change resulted from our increased research and development
spending, as discussed above.

We recorded a loss from operations for our research revenues business of ($1.2)
million in the second quarter of 2002, compared to income from operations of
$1.6 million in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the decline in
fee-for-service revenues, as described above.

Unallocated corporate expenses increased in the second quarter of 2002 to $4.8
million, from $1.9 million in 2001. This higher level was due to additions to
our corporate infrastructure to accommodate the expansion of our overall
business, increased legal fees to support our intellectual property and lower
reserve needs on customer balances reflected in the prior year results. As a
percentage of net revenues, unallocated corporate expenses in the second quarter
of 2002 increased to 8%, from 6% in the second quarter of 2001.

We recorded a tax provision of $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2002, based
on an effective tax rate of 38%. This rate is approximately equal to the
statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2001 was 24%,
which reflected the utilization of tax loss-carryforwards generated by our
European operations.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001

Our consolidated net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased
78% to $107.1 million, from $60.1 million in the first half of 2001. Net
revenues from product sales increased to $54.9 million in 2002, from $4.6
million in 2001, due to sales of our M.V.I., Aquasol and Brethine products,
which we acquired in the second half of 2001 and sales of Darvon and Darvocet-N,
which we acquired at the end of the first quarter in 2002. Net revenues from
commercial manufacturing of products marketed by other pharmaceutical companies,
which is included in product sales, contributed $3.8 million and $4.6 million to
net revenues from product sales in the first six months of 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

Net revenues from product development decreased 1% in the first half of 2002 to
$8.6 million, from $8.7 million in the first half of 2001. Product development
revenues under our significant development agreement increased from $6.7 million
in the first half of 2001 to $7.1 million in the first half of 2002.

Net revenues from our research revenues business decreased 7% in the first half
of 2002 to $43.6 million, from $46.8 million in the first half of 2001.
Non-clinical research revenues decreased by 5% in 2002 to $31.4 million, a
decrease of $1.7 million over the prior year, due primarily to a lower level of
bioanalytical revenues in our U.S. operations and Phase I pre-clinical revenues
in Europe. Clinical research revenues decreased by 11% in 2002 to $12.2 million,
from $13.7 million in 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
re-deployment of a portion of our internal resources and capabilities from
external revenue-producing projects to internal research and development
projects.

Gross margin dollars increased $33.4 million to $62.8 million, from $29.4
million in the first half of 2001, reflecting the benefit from our increased
product sales revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, gross margin dollars
increased to 59% in the first half of 2002 from 49% in the first half of 2001.
The higher margins generated by our product sales business were partially offset
by decreases in revenues and gross margin percentage from our research revenues
business.

Selling expenses increased 76% in the first half of 2002 to $10.1 million, from
$5.7 million in 2001. This increase is principally due to additional selling
expenses incurred by our product sales business associated with marketing and
promoting our new products, maintaining and enhancing distribution channels, and
developing our product sales force. As a percentage of net revenues, selling
expenses in the first half of 2002 remained consistent with the first half of
2001.

General and administrative costs increased 50% in the first half of 2002 to
$21.2 million, from $14.1 million in 2001. This increase was primarily due to
expenses related to the management build-up for our product sales business. As a
percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses in the first
half of 2002 decreased to 20%, from 24% in the first half of 2001, a trend that
we expect to continue throughout the year.

Research and development expenses were approximately 9% of net revenues, or
$10.1 million, in the first half of 2002, an increase from 7% of net revenues,
or $4.1 million, in 2001. As previously discussed, this increase resulted
primarily from clinical trials started in the first quarter of 2002 for our
ProSorb-D pain management product.


                                       25


There were no direct pharmaceutical start-up costs recorded in the first half of
2002, as compared to $1.7 million in the first half of 2001. These costs were
incurred prior to our acquisition of any pharmaceutical product lines in 2001
and were expensed as incurred.

Net interest expense increased to $8.4 million in the first half of 2002, from
$0.7 million in 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to the borrowings
that funded our product line acquisitions.

Consolidated income from operations was $21.4 million in the first half 2002, or
$17.7 million higher than the prior year, and is due to the expansion of our
product sales business.

Income from operations for our product sales business was $30.9 million in the
first half of 2002, compared to a loss from operations of ($0.5) million in the
prior year. This increase is attributable to the revenues from our product line
acquisitions.

The loss from operations for our product development business was ($1.3) million
in the first half of 2002, compared to income from operations of $4.7 million in
2001. This change resulted from the increased research and development spending
in the first half of 2002, as discussed above.

We recorded income from operations for our research revenues business of $0.1
million in the first half of 2002, compared to $4.7 million in 2001. This
decrease is primarily due to the decline in research revenues, as described
above.

Unallocated corporate expenses increased in the first half of 2002 to $8.3
million, from $5.2 million in 2001. This increase was due to additions to our
corporate infrastructure to accommodate our expansion and increased legal fees
to support our intellectual property. As a percentage of net revenues,
unallocated corporate expenses in the first half of 2002 decreased to 8%, from
9% in the first half of 2001.

We recorded a tax provision of $5.0 million in the first half of 2002, based on
an effective tax rate of 38%. This rate is approximately equal to the statutory
rate. Our effective tax rate for the first half of 2001 was 21%, which reflected
the utilization of tax loss-carryforwards generated by our European operations.

In March 2002, we recorded an extraordinary loss of $5.3 million, net of a tax
benefit of $2.7 million, to record the write-off of deferred financing and other
costs related to our prior debt facilities and redeemable warrants.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, we have funded our businesses with cash flows provided by
operations and proceeds from borrowings. Cash flow used in operations in the
first six months of 2002 was $5.1 million, compared to cash provided by
operating activities of $0.7 million in the first six months of 2001. This
change was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable related to the
product lines we acquired and prepaid financing fees related to the financing of
our acquisitions, partially offset by the increase in income and interest
payable on our senior subordinated notes. In the second quarter of 2002, we
generated cash from operating activities of $14.5 million, which was provided by
our net income and increases in interest payable and customer advances,
partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable related to our product
sales.


                                       26


Cash used in investing activities was $230.7 million in the first half of 2002
compared to cash provided by investing activities of $0.4 million in the first
half of 2001. This included $212.0 million related to our acquisition of the
Darvon and Darvocet-N branded product lines as further described below, and
$14.1 million for the purchase of assets formerly covered by our tax retention
operating lease, including our corporate headquarters in Wilmington, N.C. and a
laboratory and clinical facility in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2002 was $233.6
million, primarily representing net proceeds of $248.8 million in additional
borrowings under our new debt facilities, as described below, and $3.0 million
of cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the
repayment of $18.4 million of these borrowings in the second quarter.

In March 2001, we completed a sale/leaseback transaction on manufacturing
equipment, which provided cash of $3.1 million. The lease has a five-year term
and requires payments of approximately $0.6 million annually.

On March 28, 2002, we acquired the U.S. rights to the Darvon and Darvocet-N
branded product lines and existing inventory from Eli Lilly and Company for
$211.4 million in cash, subject to potential reduction based on the net sales of
these products after the closing of the acquisition. In connection with the
acquisition, we entered into $175 million of senior credit facilities, issued
$175 million of senior subordinated notes due 2010, repaid all $78 million of
borrowings outstanding under our prior senior credit facilities, and terminated
our tax retention operating lease and purchased the underlying properties.

Our $175 million senior secured credit facilities consist of a $75 million
five-year revolving credit facility and a $100 million five-year term loan
facility. The term loan facility amortizes over the full five-year term, with
amortization of $5 million, $15 million, $20 million, $25 million and $35
million, respectively, in years one through five. The availability of borrowings
under our revolving credit facility is not limited by a borrowing base. Our
senior credit facilities provide for variable interest rates based on LIBOR or
an alternate base rate, at our option. Such facilities are guaranteed by all of
our domestic subsidiaries and secured by a security interest on substantially
all of our domestic assets, all of the stock of our domestic subsidiaries, and
65% of the stock of our material foreign subsidiaries. Our senior credit
facilities require the payment of certain commitment fees based on the unused
portion of the revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the credit
agreement for our senior credit facilities, we are required to comply with
various covenants including, but not limited to, those pertaining to maintenance
of certain financial ratios and incurrence of additional indebtedness. These
senior credit facilities may be prepaid at our option at any time without a
premium.

On March 28, 2002, we issued $175 million of senior subordinated unsecured notes
due 2010. These notes have a fixed interest rate of 11% per annum and are
guaranteed on a subordinated basis by all of our existing domestic subsidiaries
and all of our future domestic subsidiaries of which we own 80% or more of the
equity interests. Prior to March 28, 2005, up to 35% of the notes are redeemable
with the proceeds of qualified sales of equity at 111% of par value. The terms
of our senior credit facilities require us to first repay all of the
indebtedness under these facilities before we could repurchase any of the notes.
On or after March 28, 2006, all or any portion of the notes are redeemable at
declining premiums to par value, beginning at 105.5%. Under the terms of the
indenture for the notes, we are


                                       27


required to comply with various covenants including, but not limited to, a
covenant relating to incurrence of additional indebtedness.

On March 28, 2002, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
effectively convert interest rate expense on $140 million of our senior
subordinated notes for the term of the notes from an 11% fixed annual rate to a
floating annual rate equal to 6-month LIBOR plus 4.78%. On May 30, 2002, we sold
this swap agreement and received $4.1 million. This amount, less the interest
benefit earned through May 30, 2002, has been recorded as a premium to the
carrying amount of the notes and will be amortized into interest income over
their remaining life. Concurrent with the sale of the interest rate swap, we
entered into a new interest rate swap agreement, which effectively converted
$150 million of the notes from an 11% fixed annual rate to a floating rate equal
to 6-month LIBOR plus 5.28%. On June 30, 2002, 6-month LIBOR was 1.96%. On
August 5, 2002, we sold this new swap agreement for $5.6 million, which will
also be recorded as a premium to the carrying amount of the notes and amortized
into interest income over their remaining life, and entered into another
interest rate swap agreement on similar terms as the May 30, 2002 agreement at a
floating rate of 6-month LIBOR plus 5.95%.

Our liquidity needs increased significantly during the first half of 2002. After
giving effect to our completed branded product line acquisitions, our annual net
interest expense may exceed $25 million in 2002. We will make $2 million in
payments in the next two years, including $1 million in August 2002, and may
have to make contingent payments in the next several years of $47 million in
connection with our product line acquisitions of M.V.I. and Aquasol, of which
$43.5 million is potentially due in August 2004. In addition, we may have to
make contingent payments of $5 million over five years in connection with the
purchase of our Charleston, South Carolina manufacturing facility. We have $5.4
million of principal repayments due in the next twelve months under our senior
credit facilities and will make an interest payment on the senior subordinated
notes of $9.6 million in October 2002. This interest payment will be reduced by
approximately $1.0 million to be received under our interest rate swap
agreement.

On April 5, 2002, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1, proposing to
sell 1.5 million shares of our common stock to the public. An additional 1.1
million shares were proposed to be sold by other selling stockholders. On May
24, 2002, we withdrew the Registration Statement because the terms obtainable in
the market place were not sufficiently attractive to warrant proceeding with the
sale of the shares.

We believe that our senior credit facilities and cash flow provided by
operations will be sufficient to fund near-term growth and fund our guaranteed
and contingent payment obligations arising from our acquisitions. We may require
additional financing to pursue other acquisition opportunities or for other
reasons. We may from time to time seek to obtain additional funds through the
public or private issuance of equity or debt securities. While we remain
confident that we can obtain additional financing, if necessary, we cannot
assure you that additional financing will be available or that the terms will be
acceptable to us.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS, RISK FACTORS AND "SAFE HARBOR" LANGUAGE

This report contains certain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


                                       28


All statements that include the words "may," "will," "estimate," "intend,"
"project," "target," "objective," "goal," "should," "could," "might,"
"continue," "believe," "expect," "plan," "anticipate" and other similar words
are intended to be forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update
forward-looking statements, or any other statements, contained in this report.

For purposes of illustration, these forward-looking statements include
statements relating to the amount, timing, and use of proceeds of future
issuance of equity; the sufficiency of our senior credit facilities and cash
flow from operations to fund near-term growth and to fund guaranteed and
contingent acquisition payment obligations; the availability of future
financing, if necessary; the expected amounts owed under future contingent
acquisition payment obligations; anticipated product development and research
services net revenues and profitability levels and trends; expected levels of
future net interest expenses; targeted research and development expenditures as
a percentage of net revenues; anticipated levels of sales and general and
administrative costs as a percentage of net revenues; and expected net revenues,
expenses and profitability of our product sales.

Although we believe that the expectations underlying any of our forward-looking
statements are reasonable, these expectations may prove to be incorrect and all
of these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Should one or more
of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions,
projections or expectations prove incorrect, actual results, performance or
financial condition may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated,
estimated or expected. We have identified below some important factors that
could cause our forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual
results, performance or financial condition:

         -        We have recently transitioned our company to a specialty
                  pharmaceutical company with challenges and risks that we have
                  not historically faced in our fee-for-services and product
                  development businesses;
         -        We may devote significant operational and financial resources
                  to develop products that we may never be able to successfully
                  commercialize;
         -        We have increased our sales and net income through a series of
                  acquisitions of branded products, and we intend to seek more
                  acquisition opportunities; we may have overpaid, or may
                  overpay in the future, for a branded product line that may not
                  produce sufficient cash flow to repay our debt, including
                  indebtedness incurred in connection with that acquisition;
         -        We are dependent on third parties for essential business
                  functions and problems with these third-party arrangements
                  could materially adversely affect our ability to manufacture
                  and sell products and our financial condition and results of
                  operations;
         -        Competition from the sale of generic products and the
                  development by other companies of new branded products could
                  cause the revenues from our branded products to decrease
                  significantly;
         -        We may be unable to obtain government approval for our
                  products or comply with government regulations relating to our
                  business; and
         -        Changes in government regulations may favor sales of generic
                  products that compete with our branded products.

Additional factors that may cause the actual results to differ materially are
discussed in Exhibit 99.1 to this report hereto and incorporated herein by
reference and in our recent filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to,
our registration statements, as amended, our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
with the


                                       29


SEC on March 11, 2002, including the exhibits attached or incorporated therein,
our Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2002, including the exhibits
thereof, our Form 8-K reports, and other periodic filings. Whenever you read or
hear any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to
us or any person acting on our behalf, you should keep in mind the cautionary
statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any
obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements
to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect
the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a result of global operating activities, we are exposed to risks associated
with changes in foreign exchange rates, principally exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and the euro. As foreign exchange rates change, the U. S. dollar
equivalent of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies change. If
the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar were to change by 10%,
year to date net income for June 30, 2002 would have changed by $35,000 due to
the change in reported results from European operations.

We are also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under our
senior credit facilities and on $150 million of our senior subordinated notes,
due to our entering into the interest rate swap agreement discussed above. The
interest rates payable on these borrowings are based on LIBOR. If LIBOR rates
were to increase by 1%, annual interest expense on variable rate debt would
increase by approximately $3.2 million, or $800,000 per quarter.


                                       30


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are party to lawsuits and administrative proceedings incidental to the normal
course of our business. We do not believe that any liabilities related to such
lawsuits or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. While we cannot predict the
outcomes of these suits, we intend to vigorously pursue all defenses available.
In cases where we have initiated an action, we intend to prosecute our claims to
the full extent of our rights under the law.

We are a party to a number of legal actions with generic drug companies. We
filed three cases in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of North Carolina claiming infringement of certain of our fluoxetine
hydrochloride patents. Fluoxetine hydrochoride is an active ingredient in the
drug marketed by Eli Lilly as Prozac. Each of the defendants in these three
actions, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., a pharmaceutical company based in India,
and its U.S. affiliate, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. (formerly Reddy-Cheminor,
Inc.), Barr Laboratories, Inc., and PAR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. sells a generic
fluoxetine hydrochloride product in the United States.

In the first action, filed in August 2001, we alleged that the defendants are
infringing our fluoxetine hydrochloride Form A patent (U.S. Patent No.
6,258,853) and are seeking an injunction to prevent the sale of products that
infringe this patent, as well as compensatory and punitive damages and
attorney's fees. In the second case, filed in October 2001, we alleged that the
defendants are infringing three additional fluoxetine patents (U.S. Patent Nos.
6,310,250, 6,310,251 and 6,313,350) and are seeking an injunction to prevent the
defendants from selling infringing fluoxetine products, and monetary damages. In
the third action, filed in November 2001, we have brought similar claims against
the defendants regarding a fifth fluoxetine patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,316,672).
In each case, the defendants have filed counterclaims alleging patent
invalidity, violations of the North Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act and
tortious interference with the defendants' distribution agreements. We have
denied the substantive allegations of their claims. These cases are all in the
initial stages and discovery is just beginning. It is possible that the patents
subject to these lawsuits will be found invalid or unenforceable.

We are also involved in three actions centered on our omeprazole-related
patents. Omeprazole is the active ingredient found in Prilosec, a drug sold by
AstraZeneca. Two cases have been filed against us by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
Ltd. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. in the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York in July 2001 and November 2001. These
plaintiffs have sought but, as of March 1, 2002 have not obtained, approval from
the FDA to market a generic form of Prilosec. The plaintiffs in these cases are
challenging the validity of five patents that we have obtained relating to
omeprazole (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,262,085, 6,262,086, 6,268,385, 6,312,712 and
6,312,723) and are seeking a declaratory judgment that their generic form of
Prilosec does not infringe these patents. Additionally, they have alleged
misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious interference, unfair competition and
violations of the North Carolina Unfair Trade Practice Act. We have denied the
substantive allegations made in these cases. Both cases are in the initial
stages and discovery is just beginning.

The third case involving our omeprazole patents was brought in August 2001 by
Andrx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York. Andrx has received FDA approval for its generic omeprazole
product. However, to our knowledge, it is not currently marketing this


                                       31


drug in the U.S. Andrx is challenging the validity of three of our omeprazole
patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,262,085, 6,262,086, and 6,268,385), and is also
seeking a declaratory judgment that its generic omeprazole product does not
infringe these patents. Furthermore, Andrx claims violations of federal and
state antitrust laws with respect to the licensing of these omeprazole patents
and is seeking injunctive relief and unspecified treble damages. We have denied
the substantive allegations made by Andrx. This case is in the initial stages of
discovery. It is possible that the patents subject to these lawsuits will be
found invalid or unenforceable.
