AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 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 December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996 together with the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 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 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. D. 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). These agreements were subject to regulatory approval which was received on August 2, 1996. Since 1984 these products, which were developed and manufactured by Mylan, were marketed by AHP's Lederle Laboratories Division under a worldwide license arrangement. Under the terms of the new agreements the Company is now marketing the products in the United States. AHP retained marketing rights in a few select foreign countries and will continue to purchase product from the Company. AHP also retains ownership of certain trademarks and trade dress which have been licensed to the Company for a period of five years. At the end of the five year period ownership of these intangibles will be transferred to the Company. In connection with the new agreements both parties agreed to terminate all legal actions between the companies relating to Maxzide(R) and Maxzide-25mg(R). -5- MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Unaudited D. (con't) As a result of the transaction the Company has recorded an intangible asset of approximately $70 million representing the present value of the minimum payments due to AHP and liabilities of approximately $50 million representing such amount less the payment made by the Company to AHP upon consummation of the transaction. The Company will recognize expense of approximately $2.8 million annually through the amortization of this intangible asset over the estimated useful life of the asset. Additionally the Company will recognize interest expense on the outstanding obligation to AHP. From consumation of the transaction (August 2, 1996) through December 31, 1996 the Company recognized $2,587,000 in amortization and interest expense. In connection with the transaction, the Company also began selling a generic version of Dyazide(R). The previous license arrangement with AHP prevented the Company from marketing this product. Mylan has agreed to pay to AHP certain amounts predicated upon the gross profits realized by the Company resulting from the sales of this generic product for a period of three years. Such payments, along with any trademark license royalties in excess of the agreed upon minimums, are being expensed as incurred by the Company. E. Equity in Earnings of Somerset includes the Company's 50% portion of the net earnings of Somerset Pharmaceuticals Inc.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Unaudited E. (con't) Somerset's marketing exclusivity for Eldepryl(R) 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 along with increased research and development expenses was responsible for the increase in Costs andExpenses over the prior year's nine month period. In August 1996, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved three companies to market a generic tablet form of Eldepryl(R). Somerset filed a complaint against the FDA requesting injunctive and declaratory relief and a review of agency action, and simultaneously requested a temporary restraining order in connection with these approvals by the FDA. Somerset maintains that such approval should not have been granted by the FDA because the tablets were not approved in accordance with law. While the Court denied Somerset's request for a temporary restraining order, the evidentiary hearing on the preliminary injunction has been set for mid February 1997, and a motion regarding discovery is pending. F. On August 23, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan ("the Plan"). A dividend distribution was made to Shareholders of record on September 5, 1996 of one Preferred Share Purchase Right ("the Right") on each outstanding share of the Company's common stock. The Plan was adopted to provide the Company's Directors with sufficient time to assess and evaluate any takeover bid, and explore and develop a reasonable response. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at $.001 per Right at any time prior to ten days after the time any person acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock. The Rights will expire on September 5, 2006 unless previously redeemed or exercised. -7- PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations Net sales were a record high $113,981,000 and $321,505,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996 . This represents a 25% and 8% increase over the prior year comparable periods. The increases are primarily attributable to increased generic volume, the addition of UDL and the launch of the Company's branded products Maxzide(R) and Nitrek(TM). Gross margin as a percent of net sales decreased from 48% and 52% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995 to 41% and 42% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996. The decrease in rates from the prior periods is due to the continued pricing pressures in the generic industry and sales of UDL product which generally have a lower gross profit ratio. Research and development expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 were $10,775,000 and $31,561,000 compared to $10,948,000 and $28,560,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995. These amounts are indicative of the Company's commitment to aggressive research programs for both generic and innovative compounds. Selling and administrative expenses were $19,566,000 and $60,282,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 compared to $14,106,000 and $41,769,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995. The increases over the prior periods is due to recurring expenses associated with the UDL and Maxzide(R) acquisitions along with non-recurring charges relating to provisions for legal settlements, launch costs associated with Maxzide(R) and the bankruptcy of a customer in the current year. Somerset's contribution to the Company's earnings per share was $.03 and $.11 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996 compared to $.06 and $.15 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995. The introduction of generic competition on Eldepryl(R) coupled with higher levels of research and development expenditures has and will continue to adversely affect Somerset's contribution to the Company's net earnings per share (see note E). -8- Liquidity and Capital Resources and Financial Condition Working capital decreased from $330,733,000 at March 31, 1996 to $306,287,000 at December 31, 1996. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 7.8 to 1 at March 31, 1996 and 5.1 to 1 at December 31, 1996. The change in the current ratio is primarily attributable to the Maxzide(R) acquisition agreements (see note D) which resulted in an increase in the current portion of long-term debt and a decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided from operating activities was $46,096,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 compared to $72,567,000 for the same period last year. The change is primarily attributable to decreased earnings, the timing of accounts receivable collections, and payment of income taxes. Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to $20,094,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1996. Capital expenditures are principally related to the completion of a research and development facility and construction of a sustained release facility, both in Morgantown, West Virginia. The increases in intangible assets and long-term obligations are due principally to the Maxzide(R) transaction as described in Note D. -9- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
