                                    Unaudited

A.    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
      statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
      accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
      Company as of June 30, 1996 and March 31, 1996 together with the results
      of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 1996
      and 1995.  The consolidated results of operations for the three months
      ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
      to be expected for the full year.  Certain prior year amounts have been
      reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

B.    These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's 1996
      Annual Report and Report on Form 10-K.

C.    On June 28, 1995 the Company announced a three-for-two stock split of the
      Company's common stock effective August 15, 1995 for shareholders of
      record at the close of business on July 31, 1995.  The par value of the
      new shares issued totaled $20,004,000 and has been transferred from
      additional paid in capital to the common stock account.  The weighted
      average shares outstanding and the earnings and dividends per share
      reflected in these financial statements give effect to the stock split.

D.    On February 28, 1996 the Company acquired UDL Laboratories, Inc. (UDL).
      UDL is the premier supplier of unit dose generic pharmaceuticals to the
      institutional and long term care markets.  UDL has its corporate
      headquarters in Rockford, Illinois and maintains manufacturing, research
      and development and distribution facilities in Rockford, Illinois as well
      as Largo, Florida.

      The transaction, was accounted for under the purchase method of
      accounting.  Payment of approximately $47,500,000 was made through the
      issuance of newly registered common stock of the Company.

E.    On June 14, 1996, the Company executed a series of agreements with
      American Home Products Corporation ("AHP"), relating to the products
      Maxzide(R) and Maxzide-25MG(R).In general these agreements will terminate
      the existing license agreements between the Company and AHP which had
      previously marketed the products through its Lederle Laboratories Division
      ("Lederle").The Company will record this transaction and commence 
      marketing Maxzide(R) and Maxzide-25MG(R)upon receipt of antitrust 
      clearance.

                                    Unaudited

E.    (con't) Under the terms of the agreement, the Company shall pay to AHP
      specified amounts over a five year period commencing at the effective
      date.  In addition, the Company shall pay to AHP a royalty predicated on
      sales for use of certain trademarks during a five year period with
      specified minimum annual royalty payments.  At the end of such period all
      royalty obligations will cease and ownership of the trademarks will be
      transferred to the Company.

      The companies have agreed that AHP will retain marketing rights in certain
      foreign countries under a modified International Supply Agreement.
      Additionally, the companies have agreed that for a three year period the
      Company shall pay AHP certain amounts predicated on the gross profit
      realized by the Company on its sales of a generic Dyazide(R) product to
      unrelated parties.  The terminated agreements prevented the Company from
      marketing such products without first attempting to negotiate a supply
      agreement with Lederle.  In connection with these agreements, the Company
      and AHP agreed to terminate certain litigation.

F.    During 1996 Bertek was involved in an arbitration matter unrelated to the
      pharmaceutical business.  On May 2, 1996 the arbitration panel issued a
      decision against Bertek for approximately $4,000,000.  The Company has
      appealed the arbitration ruling.  Additionally, the Company was a
      defendant in a suit filed by Upsher-Smith Laboratories alleging breach of
      contract related to the sale and distribution of one of the Company's
      generic pharmaceutical products.  The suit claimed damages in excess of
      $13,000,000.  The Company entered into a settlement agreement with
      Upsher-Smith Laboratories on July 10, 1996 for payment of an agreed upon
      amount.

      As of June 30, 1996 the Company has accrued all amounts to be paid in the
      latter case and amounts which the Company believes to be sufficient to
      cover any payments which may result from the ultimate resolution of the
      Bertek arbitration matter.  The amounts accrued for these litigation
      matters were included in selling and administrative expenses for the
      quarter ended June 30, 1996.

G.    Equity in Earnings of Somerset includes the Company's 50% portion of the
      net earnings of Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Somerset), certain
      management fees and amortization of intangible assets resulting from the
      acquisition of Somerset.  Such intangible assets are being amortized over
      a 15 year period using the straight line method.

      The above information represents 100% of Somerset's operations of which
      the Company has a 50% interest.

      Somerset's marketing exclusivity for Eldepryl under the Orphan Drug Act
      expired on June 6, 1996.  In late May 1996 Somerset received FDA approval
      to market an easy-to-identify capsule which was launched immediately by
      Somerset.  This launch was responsible for the higher than normal sales
      and along with increased research and development expenses caused the
      increase in Costs and Expenses over last year's first quarter.

                         PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                  ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

      Net earnings per share were $.12 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
compared to the record high $.28 for the same quarter a year ago and $.15 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  Net sales of $98,543,000 and gross profit
of $42,764,000 representing 43% of net sales for the current quarter are down
from last year's $109,192,000 net sales and $58,564,000 gross profit which
represented 54% of net sales.  Severe price competition in the generic drug
industry and the lack of significant new product approvals for the Company
over the last 15 months is the primary cause of the decreases from last
year's first quarter to the current quarter.  The modest increase in sales
and gross profits over the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is due to the
addition of UDL in March of 1996 and changes in product mix including the
addition of three new products, two of which were launched in late March 1996
and one which was added during the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

      Research and development expense of $10,531,000 for the current quarter
represents a 29% increase over the prior year first quarter.  The current
quarter amount is consistent with expenditures in the third and fourth
quarter of fiscal 1996 and is indicative of the Company's increased and
aggressive research programs aimed at both generic products and innovative
compounds.  The Company expects future expenses for research and development
to be at or higher than the current quarter level.

      Selling and administrative expenses were $21,251,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $14,003,000 for the same quarter a year ago.  The
Company initiated cost containment efforts throughout fiscal 1996 which
resulted in quarterly expenses of roughly $14 million in each of the four
quarters of fiscal 1996.  The current quarter includes expenses from UDL,
including amortization of intangible assets acquired which will be recurring,
and non-recurring expenses resulting from the settlement of and provisions
for certain legal matters as discussed in footnote R in the Company's
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1996.  The Company expects
that future selling and administrative expenses will be less than the current
quarter but higher than previous quarters as a result of the UDL and Maxzide
acquisitions.

      Somerset's contribution to the Company's earnings per share remained at
$.04 despite the increase in sales of Eldepryl by Somerset.  This is
primarily due to costs associated with the change from tablets to capsules
during the current quarter and also to continued increases in research and
development expenses by Somerset.  The switch from tablets to capsules has
had the effect of extending, at least temporarily, Somerset's exclusivity on
the compound for use in the treatment of late stage Parkinson's disease,
which enables Somerset to continue its aggressive research efforts without
diluting its contribution to the Company's earnings per share.
      The effective tax rate of 30% for the first quarter represents the
Company's expected rate for fiscal 1997 which is up from last year's
effective tax rate of 28%.  The increase is due to changes in tax credits and
expected changes in the mix of domestic versus Puerto Rican source income.

                                       -8-




Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Condition

      Working capital decreased from $330,733,000 at March 31, 1996 to
$325,151,000 at June 30, 1996.  The ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 7.8 to 1 at March 31, 1996 and 6.5 to 1 at June 30, 1996.
The decrease in the current ratio is primarily attributable to increases in
income taxes payable and other current liabilities.

      Net cash provided from operating activities was $28,427,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $26,307,000 for the same period last
year.  The decrease in net earnings was offset by the timing of tax payments
and the collection of accounts receivable.

      Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to $8,514,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $5,172,000 for the same period a
year ago.  Current quarter capital expenditures are principally related to
ongoing construction projects relating to a research and development facility
and a sustained release production facility, both in Morgantown, West
Virginia.
