OVERVIEW
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company that operates in one segment -
the development, manufacture and marketing of generic and proprietary
prescription pharmaceuticals. We currently manufacture and distribute more than
100 different dosage forms and strengths of pharmaceutical products in core
therapeutic categories, including oncology, female healthcare (including hormone
therapy and oral contraceptives), cardiovascular, anti-infective and
psychotherapeutics. In addition, we have a proprietary, novel vaginal ring drug
delivery system that we are using to develop products intended to address a
variety of female health issues and unmet medical needs. We operate
manufacturing, research and development and administrative facilities located in
the United States.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Launch of Distributed Version of Ciprofloxacin
In June 2003, we began shipping Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride pursuant to a
license from Bayer Corporation (Bayer). Under a 1997 settlement of a patent
challenge we initiated against Bayer's Cipro(R) antibiotic, we purchase directly
from Bayer Ciprofloxacin products that are manufactured under Bayer's New Drug
Application for Cipro and market them under our label. We have the non-exclusive
right to distribute the Ciprofloxacin products until Bayer's patent protecting
Cipro expires in December 2003. On June 9, 2003, we began distributing
Ciprofloxacin, pursuant to the terms of the settlement and recorded sales of
approximately $111 million for fiscal 2003. We share one-half of our profits on
these sales with Aventis, the contractual successor to our joint venture partner
in the Cipro patent challenge case. We believe that Bayer intends to seek
pediatric exclusivity for Cipro, which if granted could delay the introduction
of generic versions for six months beyond the expiration of the patent. We are
currently negotiating with Bayer to continue distributing Ciprofloxacin products
during and after Bayer's anticipated pediatric exclusivity period for Cipro. If
Bayer obtains pediatric exclusivity and we continue distributing Ciprofloxacin
during that period, Ciprofloxacin is expected to be our largest selling product
in fiscal 2004.
Acquisition of Diamox(R) Sequels(R), Zebeta(R), Ziac(R) and Aygestin(R) From
Wyeth
In June 2003, we acquired the U.S. rights to four products marketed by
Wyeth and a license to complete the development of and market a new oral
contraceptive. We agreed to pay Wyeth approximately $22.6 million for the U.S.
rights to Diamox(R) Sequels(R), Zebeta(R), Ziac(R) and Aygestin(R). We also
agreed to pay approximately $4 million to acquire a license from Wyeth, together
with a sublicense that originated from Aventis S.A. to develop and market in
the U.S. oral contraceptive products using the compound Trimegestone. Wyeth
retained the rights outside the U.S. to Trimegestone as an oral contraceptive
and retained global rights to Trimegestone for all other non-transdermal
indications, including hormone therapy. Under the terms of a related agreement,
we granted to Wyeth an exclusive license to any oral contraceptive product we
develop with Trimegestone for sale outside the U.S. We have the right to
terminate the licensing agreement for Trimegestone at any time up to December
2004 and would obtain a refund of up to $5 million for out-of-pocket development
costs associated with the development of a Trimegestone oral contraceptive. In
connection with the acquisitions and licenses described above, we agreed with
Wyeth to terminate the suit filed against Wyeth in September 2000 by our Duramed
subsidiary.
196% Increase in Oral Contraceptive Product Sales
Our sales of oral contraceptive products nearly tripled in fiscal 2003 from
the prior year. The increase in sales of our oral contraceptive products
reflected higher sales of our existing products, including Apri(R), Aviane(TM),
Kariva(R) and Nortrel(R), as well as sales of seven new oral contraceptive
products we launched in fiscal 2003.
Filing of Conjugated Estrogen ANDA
On June 30, 2003, we filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with
the FDA for an "AB" rated generic equivalent to Premarin(R), a conjugated
estrogen product whose raw material comes from the urine of pregnant mares. We
believe that our application will meet all of the regulatory requirements
necessary for FDA approval and, if approved, will be directly substitutable for
Wyeth's Premarin product. On August 11, 2003, we received notification from the
FDA that our application had been accepted for filing.
In March 2002, we entered into two agreements with Natural Biologics,
LLC ("Natural Biologics"), the raw material supplier for our generic conjugated
estrogens product. Under the terms of a Development, Manufacturing and
Distribution Agreement, Natural Biologics supplies the raw material and we are
responsible for the product formulation and the regulatory,
3
manufacturing and sales and marketing activities necessary to commercialize a
generic conjugated estrogens product. Under the terms of a Loan and Security
Agreement, absent the occurrence of a material adverse event as defined, we
could loan Natural Biologics up to $35 million over a three-year period and make
additional payments totaling $35 million based on achieving certain legal and
product approval milestones, including approval of a generic product.
Expansion of Our Female Healthcare Sales force
We contract our female healthcare sales force from Cardinal Market Force.
In January 2003, we contracted with Cardinal Market Force to expand that sales
force by 104 sales representatives, 11 district sales managers and 3 area
business directors, which brought our total female healthcare sales force to
nearly 250 people. Our sales force expansion was undertaken in anticipation of
the launch of SEASONALE(R), an extended-cycle oral contraceptive currently
awaiting FDA approval. In addition to the promotion of SEASONALE upon its
anticipated launch, the sales force will continue to promote our Cenestin(R)
products along with additional female healthcare products we may develop or
acquire.
Conclusion of Our Tamoxifen Supply and Distribution Agreement
In 1993, as a result of a settlement of a patent challenge case, we entered
into a non-exclusive supply and distribution agreement with AstraZeneca. Under
the distribution agreement, we purchased Tamoxifen, a breast cancer drug,
directly from AstraZeneca in both 10 mg and 20 mg tablets and marketed the
product under our label. During this period, we were the only distributor of
Tamoxifen in the United States other than AstraZeneca. Our distribution
agreement with AstraZeneca expired on August 21, 2002. In December 2002, the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied our motion for summary
judgment, which sought injunctive and declaratory relief precluding the FDA from
withdrawing its prior approval of our Tamoxifen 10 mg ANDA. This decision
delayed our launch of our manufactured 10 mg tablets until February 21, 2003,
the date on which AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity for its Nolvadex(R) brand
version of Tamoxifen expired. As a result of the court decision and the
depletion of our distributed product inventory, we were unable to supply
Tamoxifen to our customers from the date our supply was fully depleted, in
November 2002, through the expiration of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity.
Our inability to supply customers resulted in a significant decrease in revenues
and profits attributable to Tamoxifen during that three-month period. Following
expiration of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity, we, along with several
generic competitors, launched a manufactured generic Tamoxifen citrate product
on February 21, 2003. As expected, the presence of several competing Tamoxifen
products resulted in a significant decline in our market share and the market
price for Tamoxifen.
Tamoxifen accounted for approximately 14% of our product sales in fiscal
2003, down from 31% in fiscal 2002 and 56% in fiscal 2001. Sales of our
manufactured version of tamoxifen accounted for less than $10 million out of our
total tamoxifen sales of approximately $121 million during fiscal 2003. We
expect tamoxifen to contribute less than 2% of our product sales in fiscal 2004.
BUSINESS STRATEGIES
We focus our resources on four principal strategies within our pharmaceutical
products business:
Developing and Marketing Selected Generic Pharmaceuticals
We develop and market the generic equivalent of brand pharmaceuticals
that no longer enjoy patent protection. We seek to develop generic products
that have one or more characteristics that we believe will make it
difficult for other competitors to develop competing generics. The
characteristics of the selected generic products we pursue may include one
or more of the following:
- those requiring specialized manufacturing capabilities;
- those where sourcing the raw material may be difficult;
- those with complex formulation or development characteristics;
- those that must overcome unusual regulatory or legal challenges; or
- those that confront difficult sales and marketing challenges.
4
We believe that generic products with some or all of these characteristics
may face limited competition and may produce higher profits for a longer period
of time than products without these characteristics. A good example of this
strategy is our generic oral contraceptive franchise, where revenues have
increased from $93 million in fiscal 2002 to $274 million in fiscal 2003.
Challenging Patents Protecting Certain Brand Pharmaceuticals
As an adjunct to our selective generic development strategy, we develop
generic equivalents of branded pharmaceuticals that are purportedly protected by
patents that we believe are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed by our
competing generic products. Successful patent challenges can result in gaining
180 days of market exclusivity for our generic product or in settlements that
allow us to market the products before the patents expire. A prime example of
this strategy was our successful challenge of Eli Lilly's patent on Prozac(R),
where the court held that the patent purportedly protecting Prozac was invalid.
Developing and Marketing Proprietary Pharmaceuticals
In addition to our generic products, we also develop and market proprietary
pharmaceutical products. Although they involve substantially greater research
and development activities on our part, proprietary products offer the potential
for a longer period of market or product exclusivity and significantly greater
returns than generic products. Proprietary pharmaceutical products take longer
and are more expensive to develop than generic products, have a greater risk of
not gaining regulatory approval and generally require promotion directly to
physicians.
Evaluating Complementary or Strategic Business Opportunities
Though we make significant investments in internal product development, we
continually evaluate acquisition opportunities to strengthen our product
portfolio and help grow our business. We recently expanded our activities and
resources in this area and regularly evaluate opportunities particularly in the
following areas: strategic product acquisitions, new technology arrangements
including new technology platforms, and corporate mergers and acquisitions.
GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS
Generic pharmaceutical products are the chemical and therapeutic equivalent
of branded drug products listed in the FDA publication entitled "Approved Drug
Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations," popularly known in the
pharmaceutical industry as the "Orange Book." The Drug Price Competition and
Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended (the "Hatch-Waxman Act")
provides that generic drugs may enter the market upon approval of an ANDA.
Generic drugs are bioequivalent to their brand-name counterparts, meaning they
deliver the same amount of active ingredient at the same rate as the brand-name
drug. Accordingly, generic products provide safe, effective and cost-efficient
alternatives to branded products, typically at a lower price than the branded
equivalent. The recent tremendous growth in the generic pharmaceutical industry
has been fueled by the increased acceptance of generic drugs as well as the
number of high-profile branded products for which patent terms or other market
exclusivity periods have expired.
Generic Products We Currently Market
We currently market approximately 59 pharmaceutical products representing
approximately 100 dosage strengths and product forms of approximately 54
chemical entities. Our products are manufactured in tablet, capsule and powder
form. Examples of the generic products we currently market are set forth below:
Barr/Duramed Label Brand Equivalent Therapeutic Category
- ------------------ ---------------- --------------------
Apri(R) Desogen(R) Female Healthcare
Ortho-Cept(R).
Aviane(TM) Alesse(R) Female Healthcare

Warfarin Sodium Coumadin(R) Cardiovascular
Set forth below are descriptions of certain generic products that
contributed significantly to our sales and gross profit in fiscal 2003. Product
data is derived from industry sources.
Oral Contraceptives. We are the third largest manufacturer and marketer of
oral contraceptive products in the United States, as measured by industry
sources. Oral contraceptives are the most common method of reversible birth
control, used by up to 65% of women in the United States at some time during
their reproductive years. Oral contraceptives have a very long history with
widespread use attributed to many factors including efficacy in preventing
pregnancy, safety and simplicity in initiation and discontinuation, medical
benefits and relatively low incidence of side effects. We currently manufacture
and market thirteen generic oral contraceptive products under the
following trademarks: Apri(R) Aviane(TM), Kariva(R), Lessina(R), Nortrel(R)1/35,
Nortrel(R)05/35, Portia(R), Cryselle(R), Enpresse(R), Sprintec(R), Camila(R),
Nortrel(R) 7/7/7 and Errin(R).
Warfarin Sodium. Warfarin Sodium is the generic equivalent of Bristol-Myers
Squibb Company's Coumadin, an anticoagulant for patients with heart disease
and/or high risk of stroke. We launched Warfarin Sodium in July 1997 and are
presently one of two generic suppliers of the product. Warfarin Sodium accounted
for approximately 12% of product sales during fiscal 2001 and for less than 10%
of our product sales in fiscal 2002 and 2003, respectively.
Dextro Salt Combo (Dextroamphetamine Saccharate, Amphetamine Aspartate,
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, and Amphetamine Sulfate Tablets). This amphetamine
product, which we call Dextro Salt Combo, is a generic equivalent of Shire
Richwood Inc.'s Adderall(R) tablets. Adderall is indicated as an integral part
of a total treatment program that typically includes other remedial measures
(psychological, educational and social) for a stabilizing effect in children
with behavioral syndrome characterized by the following group of developmentally
inappropriate symptoms: moderate to severe distractibility, short attention
span, hyperactivity and impulsivity. We launched Dextro Salt Combo in April 2002
and are presently one of three generic companies with FDA approval for the
product. In March 2003, we received approval from the FDA for our generic
version of Adderall (Dextroamphetamine Saccharate, Amphetamine Aspartate,
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, Amphetamine Sulfate) Tablets, 7.5 mg, 12.5 mg, 15 mg
and were granted 180 days of generic exclusivity, commencing at launch, as a
result of being the first to file an ANDA containing a certification that the
applicable listed patent for Adderall(R) was invalid, unenforceable or not
infringed (a so-called "paragraph IV certification"). The patent holder did not
file suit against us within the statutory forty-five day period.
Generic Research and Development
We focus our generic product research and development efforts on products
having one or more of the characteristics described earlier in "Business
Strategies". Over the past three years, we have expanded our research and
development and related activities in
6
this area. We filed 14 generic product applications, or ANDAs, during fiscal
2003. At June 30, 2003, we had over 30 ANDAs pending at the FDA.
Generic Sales and Marketing
We market our generic products to customers in the United States and Puerto
Rico under the "Barr" label, through an integrated sales and marketing team that
includes a four-person national accounts sales force. The activities of the
sales force are supported by marketing and customer service organizations in our
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey offices.
The customer base for our generic products includes drug store chains,
supermarket chains, mass merchandisers, wholesalers, distributors, managed care
organizations, mail order accounts, government/military and repackagers.
We sell our generic products to approximately 130 customers that purchase
directly from us, and indirectly to approximately 85 customers that purchase our
products from wholesalers. In fiscal 2003, four customers separately accounted
for over 10% of product sales: McKesson Drug Company, Cardinal Health,
Amerisource Bergen and Walgreen which accounted for 21%, 17%, 13% and 10% of
total product sales, respectively. In 2002, McKesson Drug Company, Cardinal
Health and Amerisource Bergen accounted for approximately 18%, 13% and 12% of
total product sales, respectively. In 2001, McKesson Drug Company accounted for
approximately 14% of total product sales. No other customers accounted for
greater than 10% of total product sales in any of the last three fiscal years.
PROPRIETARY PHARMACEUTICALS
We design our proprietary branded products to meet the medical needs of
consumers. They are marketed under brand names and generally are promoted
directly to physicians. Proprietary products generally are patent-protected or
benefit from other non-patent market exclusivities. These market exclusivities
generally provide brand products with the ability to maintain their
profitability for longer periods of time than generic products. Brand products
often remain profitable following generic competition, due to physician and
customer loyalties.
We focus our proprietary product development activities in three
categories:
- existing chemical compounds where the development of new forms (liquid
vs. tablets, different dosages or other drug delivery systems, such as
our proprietary, novel vaginal ring delivery system) offer therapeutic or
marketing advantages;
- new chemical entities in selected therapeutic categories, including some
that are marketed in other countries but not currently sold in the United
States; and
- patent protected proprietary products in late stages of development.
We believe that these types of products will meet the medical needs of
consumers and have some period of market exclusivity, should generate higher
gross margins and maintain profitability longer than most generic products.
Proprietary Products We Currently Market
We currently market the following three proprietary products:
Cenestin(R). In 1999, our Duramed subsidiary began to market Cenestin
tablets, a plant-derived synthetic conjugated estrogens product with no animal
precursors. Cenestin is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe
vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. We currently market the 0.3 mg,
0.625 mg, 0.9 mg and 1.25 mg tablet strengths of the Cenestin product and are
developing other related products. The 0.3 mg tablet strength of Cenestin is
indicated for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy.
We had previously filed a supplement to our New Drug Application ("NDA")
for a 0.45 mg tablet strength seeking approval for the treatment of moderate to
severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. In June 2003, the FDA
issued Barr a Not Approvable Letter for our supplemental NDA for Cenestin
tablets 0.45 mg. A Not Approvable Letter is issued when the FDA determines that
an NDA contains insufficient information for approval at this time. We are
currently discussing the status of our application with the Agency and have
recently filed supplemental data to support the approval of this dosage form. A
final decision on this application is pending at the FDA.
7
Cenestin competes in the $2 billion hormone therapy market with products
such as Wyeth's Premarin(R), a conjugated equine estrogens product. Recent
developments in the hormone therapy market include the decision by the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) in July 2002 to discontinue the combined therapies
arm of the Women's Health Initiative Study (WHI) related to the long-term usage
of estrogen and progestin on the prevention of heart disease in healthy
post-menopausal women. The combination product evaluated in that arm of the WHI
study was a combination of conjugated equine estrogens and the progestin
medroxyprogesterone acetate. This arm of the study was discontinued early based
on health risks that exceeded health benefits over an average follow up of 5.2
years due to evidence of increased risk of cardiovascular disease and over time,
the increased risk of invasive breast cancer. The estrogen-only arm of the study
is continuing.
Even though our Cenestin product was not used in the WHI study, the
uncertainty regarding the risk/reward benefit of long-term hormone therapy
products has reduced the use of hormone therapy products, including Cenestin.
However, we believe that a number of women and their physicians will continue
using these products, particularly estrogen-only therapies, such as Cenestin,
for the short-term treatment of various symptoms associated with menopause.
Trexall(TM). Trexall is the brand name for our 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg and 15
mg Methotrexate tablets that received FDA approval in March 2001. Methotrexate
is used in the treatment of certain forms of cancer, severe psoriasis and adult
rheumatoid arthritis. We designed these new dosage strengths to simplify drug
therapy and increase patient convenience and compliance. Prior to Trexall's
approval, Methotrexate tablets were available only in a 2.5 mg strength tablet.
ViaSpan(R). We market ViaSpan under a license granted to us by DuPont
Pharmaceuticals. ViaSpan is a solution used for hypothermic flushing and storage
of organs, including the kidneys, liver and pancreas at the time of their
removal from the donor in preparation for storage, transportation and eventual
transplantation into a recipient. We exclusively market the product in both the
United States and Canada to approximately 175 customers, primarily organ
procurement organizations, transplant centers and hospitals. ViaSpan is patented
through March 2006.
We also sell, but do not actively market, several other proprietary
products including, Aygestin(R), Revia(R), Ziac(R), Zebeta(R) and Diamox(R).
Proprietary Products in Development
We have proprietary products in clinical development in several key
therapeutic categories. Examples of these products are discussed in detail
below.
SEASONALE(R) an Extended-Cycle(TM) Oral Contraceptive. SEASONALE is an
extended cycle oral contraceptive that we developed under a patent license from
the Medical College of Hampton Roads, Eastern Virginia Medical School. The
majority of oral contraceptive products currently available in the United States
are based on a regimen of 21 treatment days of active ingredient and then a
seven-day placebo interval. By contrast, under the proposed SEASONALE extended
cycle regimen, women would take the active product for up to 84 consecutive
days, and then would have a seven-day placebo interval. The proposed SEASONALE
regimen is expected to result in only 4 menstrual cycles per year, or one per
"season". Like all oral contraceptives, we will seek SEASONALE approval for the
indication of prevention of pregnancy.
Our Phase III study involved more than 1,400 female patients and was a
randomized four-arm, open-label, multi-center study evaluating the use of two
dose levels of SEASONALE, in a 91-day cycle administered for approximately 12
months and two dose levels of conventional oral contraceptive therapy
administered for approximately 12 months. We completed our Phase III clinical
trials in March 2002 and submitted our NDA in August 2002. In May 2003, the FDA
extended the original 10-month Prescription Drug User Fee Act deadline to
September 5, 2003 for the completion of its review of our application for
SEASONALE. We are awaiting notification from the FDA and, if our application
gains FDA approval in September 2003, anticipate launching SEASONALE in the fall
of 2003. The patent on SEASONALE expires in 2017.
A lower strength of SEASONALE was also studied in the clinical trials
discussed above. We plan to seek FDA approval to market this lower strength of
SEASONALE by submitting to the FDA data from the clinical trials discussed
above.
8
Cenestin(R) Line Extensions. We are committed to expanding the Cenestin
portfolio through a program that includes development of an estrogen-only
vaginal cream product, consideration of a combination estrogen and progestin
product using a different progestin than the one used in the WHI study and
evaluation of the development of a vaginal ring product utilizing Cenestin. We
have also filed additional analyses with the FDA to support the approval of our
Cenestin 0.45 mg tablet application that received a Not Approvable Letter in
June 2003. We will also continue to evaluate the development of additional
products based on medical developments in the hormone therapy area.
Adenovirus Vaccines. In September 2001, we were awarded a $35.4 million,
six-year contract by the United States Department of Defense to develop
Adenovirus Vaccines Type 4 and 7. The Adenovirus Vaccines are expected to be
dispensed to armed forces recruits to prevent epidemics of an acute respiratory
disease that has been a leading cause of hospitalizations of military trainees.
In July 2003, we completed construction of our Adenovirus Vaccine Virus Types 4
and 7 manufacturing and packaging facility, a 20,000 square foot building
designed specifically to produce vaccines for recruits in the U.S. Armed Forces,
that is located on our Virginia campus. Following completion of clinical studies
and the approval of biological license applications, we expect to manufacture
the vaccines for the Department of Defense.
CyPat(TM). Cyproterone Acetate, which we intend to market in the United
States under the name CyPat, is a steroid that blocks the action of
testosterone. Cyproterone Acetate is not currently approved for marketing in the
United States. Internationally, Cyproterone Acetate is mainly used in the
management of prostate cancer, both as a single agent and in combination with
other products. In addition, it is used as a component of oral contraceptives
and in the treatment of acne, seborrhea, hirsutism in women, precocious puberty
in children, and hypersexuality/deviant behavior in men. Currently, Cyproterone
Acetate is approved for use in over 80 countries throughout Europe, Asia, South
America, Australia and North America.
We are currently in the process of closing out the Phase III, randomized,
multicenter, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial to study the
efficacy and safety of CyPat for the treatment of hot flashes following surgical
or chemical castration in prostate cancer patients. As of March 2003, the
clinical studies have enrolled approximately 736 patients at approximately 60
sites across the country. We are currently reviewing the development status of
CyPat with the FDA.
Vaginal Ring Products. We intend to use the proprietary, novel, vaginal
ring drug delivery system acquired from Enhance Pharmaceuticals to develop
products that address a variety of female health issues and unmet medical needs.
We currently have several products that use this technology in various stages of
development, including a urinary incontinence product being developed under a
development and licensing agreement with Schering AG. Under this agreement, we
have licensed the worldwide marketing rights for the urinary incontinence
product to Schering AG in exchange for research and development funding,
milestone payments upon the achievement of specified objectives and an ongoing
royalty based on worldwide sales.
DP3. DP3 is also an extended cycle oral contraceptive product. We have
initiated enrollment in two large full-scale Phase III clinical trials involving
12 months of treatment and including approximately 2,600 patients at 35
investigational sites, evaluating DP3 in a 91-day cycle that includes 84 active
tablets of levonorgestrel/0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol, followed by seven days
of either 0.03 mg or 0.01 mg ethinyl estradiol. We anticipate filing an
application with the FDA in fiscal 2005.
Proprietary Sales And Marketing
Female Healthcare Product Sales Force
We contract our female healthcare sales force from Cardinal Market Force.
In January 2003, we contracted with Cardinal Market Force to expand that sales
force by 104 sales representatives, 11 district sales managers and 3 area
business directors, which brought our total female healthcare sales force to
nearly 250 people. The contract allows us to convert the Cardinal sales force
into our employees upon expiration or to extend it further. Our sales force
expansion was undertaken in anticipation of the launch of SEASONALE(R), an
extended cycle oral contraceptive currently awaiting FDA approval. In addition
to the promotion of SEASONALE upon its anticipated launch, the sales force will
continue to promote our Cenestin products along with additional female
healthcare products we may develop or acquire.
Rheumatology/Dermatology Product Sales Force
We contract with Innovex, LP, an affiliate of Quintiles Transnational Corp.
for a 22-person contract sales force that promotes our Trexall product directly
to rheumatologists and dermatologists. These representatives also promote
Claravis(TM), our generic version of Roche's Accutane(R), to dermatologists. Our
contract with Quintiles expires in December 2003, but we are currently
considering
9
extending the contract through fiscal 2004. We expect to use our
rheumatology/dermatology sales force to promote additional rheumatology and
dermatology products as we develop or acquire them.
Transplant Product Sales Force
We employ a National Account Manager to promote our transplant preservation
agent ViaSpan to approximately 175 customers, in both the United States and
Canada. These customers are primarily organ procurement organizations,
transplant centers and hospitals. We expect to use our transplant sales force to
promote additional transplant products as we develop or acquire additional
products.
PATENT CHALLENGES
Background
We actively challenge patents on branded pharmaceutical products where we
believe such patents are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed by our
competing generic products. Our development activities in this area, including
sourcing raw materials and developing equivalent products, are designed to
obtain FDA approval for our product. Our legal activities in this area,
performed by outside counsel, are designed to eliminate the barrier to market
entry created by the patents. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the first generic ANDA
applicant whose filing includes a certification that a listed patent on the
brand name drug is invalid, unenforceable or not infringed (a so-called
"paragraph IV certification"), may be eligible to receive a 180-day period of
generic market exclusivity. This period of market exclusivity may provide the
patent challenger with the opportunity to earn a significant return on the risks
taken and its legal and development costs. Patent challenge product candidates
typically must have several years of remaining patent protection to ensure that
the legal process can be completed prior to patent expiry. Because of the
potential value of being the only generic in the market for the 180-day generic
exclusivity period, we typically seek to be the first company to file an ANDA
containing a paragraph IV certification for a targeted product.
The process for initiating a patent challenge begins with the
identification of a drug candidate and evaluation by qualified legal counsel of
the patents protecting that product. We have reviewed a number of potential
challenges and have pursued only those that we believe have merit. Our general
practice is to disclose patent challenges after the patent holder has sued us.
Thus, at any time, we could have several undisclosed patent challenges in
various stages of development.
Patent challenges are complex, costly and can take three to six years to
complete. As a result, we have in the past and may elect in the future to have
partners on selected patent challenges. These arrangements typically provide for
a sharing of the costs and risks, and generally provide for a sharing of the
benefits of a successful outcome. In addition, our patent challenges may result
in settlements that we believe are reasonable, lawful and in our shareholders'
best interests.

Selected Patent Case Settlements
Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen Citrate is the generic name for AstraZeneca's
Nolvadex(R), which is used to treat advanced breast cancer, impede the
recurrence of tumors following surgery, and reduce the incidence of breast
cancer in women at high risk for developing the disease. Statistics indicate
that one in eight women will get breast cancer during her lifetime, and each
year, more than 180,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed. In 1993, as a
result of a settlement of a patent challenge against AstraZeneca, we entered
into a non-exclusive supply and distribution agreement. As discussed previously,
under the terms of the Tamoxifen agreement, we distributed a Tamoxifen product
that we purchased directly from AstraZeneca. The Tamoxifen agreement expired in
August 2002.
Ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin, the generic name for Bayer's Cipro(R), is an
antibiotic used to treat various types of infections, including urinary tract
infections, and had annual sales of approximately $1.1 billion for the twelve
months ended March 2003. In 1997, we entered into an agreement with Bayer to
settle our patent challenge litigation regarding its Ciprofloxacin antibiotic.
Until June 9, 2003, Bayer had the option to either supply us with Ciprofloxacin
at a predetermined discount for resale or make quarterly cash payments to us.
Bayer elected to make payments rather than supply us with Ciprofloxacin (see
Proceeds from Patent Challenge Settlement). On June 9, 2003, we began
distributing Ciprofloxacin, pursuant to the terms of the settlement and recorded
sales of approximately $111 million for fiscal 2003. We share one-half of our
profits on these sales with Aventis, the contractual successor to our joint
venture partner in the Cipro patent challenge case.
Bayer has successfully defended its Cipro patent against third parties in
two subsequent cases and we do not believe there will be a successful challenge.
We believe that Bayer intends to seek pediatric exclusivity for Cipro, which if
granted, could delay the introduction of generic versions for six months beyond
the expiration of the patent. We are currently negotiating with Bayer to
continue distributing Ciprofloxacin products during and after Bayer's
anticipated pediatric exclusivity period for Cipro.
Ortho-Novum(R) 7/7/7. Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 is a regimen of oral contraceptives
that includes three different tablet combinations of norethindrone and ethinyl
estradiol. In October 2001 we reached a settlement of pending litigation
regarding Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.'s patents protecting Ortho-Novum
7/7/7. Under the terms of the settlement, Ortho-McNeil granted us a
non-exclusive license to market our generic product effective January 1, 2003,
nine months prior to patent expiry in September 2003. We launched our generic
version of Ortho Novum 7/7/7 in January 2003 under the tradename Nortrel(R)
7/7/7. As part of the settlement we acknowledged our infringement of, and the
validity and enforceability of, the patent claims at issue in the case.
Ortho Tri-Cyclen(R). Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a regimen of oral contraceptives
that includes three different tablet combinations of norgestimate and ethinyl
estradiol. In August 2003 we reached a settlement of pending litigation
regarding Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.'s patents protecting Ortho
Tri-Cyclen. Under the terms of the settlement, we are permitted to introduce a
generic product no later than December 29, 2003. We will launch our generic
version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen earlier than December 29, 2003, if Ortho-McNeil
fails to file with the FDA for pediatric exclusivity prior to patent expiry on
September 26, 2003 or files and the FDA denies its request. As part of the
settlement, we acknowledged our product's infringement of, and the validity and
enforceability of, the patent claims at issue in the case. We anticipate that
concurrently with our launch of generic Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Watson Pharmaceuticals
will also launch its generic version of the product pursuant to an agreement it
has entered into with Ortho-McNeil.
Patent Challenge Process
The Hatch-Waxman Act provides incentives for generic pharmaceutical
companies to challenge suspect patents on branded pharmaceutical products. The
legislation recognizes that there is a potential for non-infringement of an
existing patent or the improper issuance of patents by the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, or PTO, resulting from a variety of technical, legal or
scientific factors. The Hatch-Waxman legislation places significant burdens on
the challenger to ensure that such suits are not frivolous, but also offers the
opportunity for significant financial reward if successful.
All of the steps involved in the filing of an ANDA with the FDA, including
research and development, are identical with those taken in development of any
generic drug. At the time an ANDA is filed with the FDA, the generic company
that wishes to
12
challenge the patent files a paragraph IV certification. After receiving notice
from the FDA that its application is accepted for filing, the generic company
sends the patent holder and NDA owner a notice explaining why it believes that
the patents in question are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. Upon
receipt of the notice from the generic company, the patent holder and NDA owner
have 45 days in which to bring suit in federal district court against the
generic company to establish the validity, enforceability and/or infringement of
the challenged patent. The discovery, trial and appeals process can take several
years.
The Hatch-Waxman Act provides for an automatic stay of the FDA's authority
to grant the approval that would otherwise give the patent challenger the right
to market its generic product. This stay is set at 30 months, or such shorter or
longer period as may be ordered by the court. The 30 months may or may not and
often does not coincide with the timing of a trial or the expiration of a
patent.
Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, the developer of a generic drug which is the
first to have its ANDA accepted for filing by the FDA, and whose filing includes
a paragraph IV certification, may be eligible to receive a 180-day period of
generic market exclusivity. This period of market exclusivity may provide the
patent challenger with the opportunity to earn a return on the risks taken and
its legal and development costs.
The FDA adopted regulations implementing the 180-day generic marketing
exclusivity provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act. However, over the years, courts
have found various provisions of the regulations to be in conflict with the
statute. For example, in Mova Pharmaceutical Corp. v. Shalala, 140 F.3d 1060
(D.C. Cir. 1998), the court of appeals held that the Hatch-Waxman Act required
generic exclusivity to be awarded to the first generic company to file a new
drug application containing a paragraph IV certification, regardless of whether
that company had prevailed in a court challenge to the relevant patent, in
contrast to FDA regulations requiring the first patent challenger to
successfully defend its challenge to the patent. In Mylan Pharmaceuticals v.
Shalala, 81 F.Supp.2d 30 (D.D.C. 2000), the district court found that the
statute requires the 180-day generic period to commence on the date of a
district court decision finding the challenged patent invalid, even if the
innovator company appealed the court's decision. The decision was in contrast to
the FDA's rule that the exclusivity period would not commence until the
appellate court affirmed the district court's decision, but also found that the
interests of applicants who had relied in good faith on the FDA's regulations
should be protected.
These successful court challenges required the FDA to ignore portions of
its regulations in implementing the statute. In August 1999, the FDA proposed
a new regulatory scheme for implementing the 180-day market exclusivity
provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act. These proposed regulations were withdrawn
in November 2002. The FDA currently applies the 180-day exclusivity period
through an issue-by-issue interpretation of the statute and applicable
regulations.
In June 2003, the FDA approved new regulations, effective in August 2003,
that are intended to prevent branded pharmaceutical companies from obtaining
more than one 30-month stay of approval of ANDAs by listing additional patents
in the Orange Book. Then, in July 2003, the FDA issued a guidance document
indicating that, when more than one ANDA is filed on the first day on which any
ANDA containing a paragraph IV patent challenge is filed, all ANDA applicants
filing on that day will share the 180-day exclusivity period.
In 1997, Congress enacted a new provision designed to reward branded
pharmaceutical companies for conducting research in the pediatric population.
Under certain circumstances, a branded company can obtain an additional six
months of market exclusivity, known as "pediatric exclusivity" by performing
pediatric research. Thus, where pediatric exclusivity is requested by a brand
company and granted by FDA, the commencement of generic competition can be
delayed by six months. The facts and circumstances of each patent challenge
differ significantly. It is therefore difficult to provide generalized guidance
as to how generic exclusivity and pediatric exclusivity will be applied to our
individual cases.
EVALUATING COMPLEMENTARY OR STRATEGIC BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities to strengthen our product
portfolio and help grow our business. We recently expanded our activities and
resources in this area and regularly evaluate opportunities particularly in the
following areas: strategic product acquisitions, new technology arrangements
including new technology platforms, and corporate mergers and acquisitions.
PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
We believe that patents and other proprietary rights are important to our
business. Our policy is to file patent applications and to obtain patents to
protect our products, technologies, inventions and improvements that we consider
important to the development of our business. We also rely upon trade secrets,
know-how, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to
13
develop and maintain our competitive position. Preserving our trade secrets and
protecting our proprietary rights are important to our long-term success.
From time to time, we may find it necessary to initiate litigation to
enforce our patent rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to
determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation
concerning patents, trademarks, copyrights and proprietary technologies can
often be protracted and expensive and, as with litigation generally, the outcome
is often uncertain.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government,
principally by the FDA, and, to a lesser extent, by the Drug Enforcement Agency
or ("DEA") and state governments. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the
Controlled Substances Act, the Prescription Drug Marketing Act and other federal
statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, safety,
labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, marketing, advertising and
promotion of our products. Non-compliance with applicable requirements can
result in fines, recalls and seizure of products.
Abbreviated New Drug Application Process
FDA approval is required before a generic equivalent can be marketed. We
seek approval for such products by submitting an ANDA to the FDA. When
processing an ANDA, the FDA waives the requirement of conducting complete
clinical studies, although it normally requires bioavailability and/or
bioequivalence studies. "Bioavailability" indicates the rate and extent of
absorption and levels of concentration of a drug product in the blood stream
needed to produce a therapeutic effect. "Bioequivalence" compares the
bioavailability of one drug product with another, and when established,
indicates that the rate of absorption and levels of concentration of the active
drug substance in the body are the equivalent for the generic drug and the
previously approved drug. An ANDA may be submitted for a drug on the basis that
it is the equivalent of a previously approved drug or, in the case of a new
dosage form, is suitable for use for the indications specified.
Before approving a product, the FDA also requires that our procedures and
operations conform to Current Good Manufacturing Practice ("cGMP") regulations,
relating to good manufacturing practices as defined in the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations. We must follow the cGMP regulations at all times during the
manufacture of our products. We continue to spend significant time, money and
effort in the areas of production and quality testing to help ensure full
compliance with cGMP regulations.
If the FDA believes a company is not in compliance with cGMP, sanctions may
be imposed upon that company including:
- withholding from the company new drug approvals as well as approvals
for supplemental changes to existing applications;
- preventing the company from receiving the necessary export licenses to
export its products; and
- classifying the company as an "unacceptable supplier" and thereby
disqualifying the company from selling products to federal agencies.
We believe we are currently in compliance with cGMP regulations.
The timing of final FDA approval of an ANDA depends on a variety of
factors, including whether the applicant challenges any listed patents for the
drug and whether the brand-name manufacturer is entitled to one or more
statutory exclusivity periods, during which the FDA may be prohibited from
accepting applications for, or approving, generic products. In certain
circumstances, a regulatory exclusivity period can extend beyond the life of a
patent, and thus block ANDAs from being approved on the patent expiration date.
For example, in certain circumstances the FDA may now extend the exclusivity of
a product by six months past the date of patent expiry if the manufacturer
undertakes studies on the effect of their product in children, a so-called
pediatric extension.
In May 1992, Congress enacted the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992,
which allows the FDA to impose debarment and other penalties on individuals and
companies that commit certain illegal acts relating to the generic drug approval
process. In some situations, the Generic Drug Enforcement Act requires the FDA
to not accept or review ANDAs for a period of time from a company or an
individual that has committed certain violations. It also provides for temporary
denial of approval of applications during the investigation of certain
violations that could lead to debarment and also, in more limited circumstances,
provides for the suspension of the marketing of approved drugs by the affected
company. Lastly, the Generic Drug Enforcement Act allows for civil penalties and
withdrawal of previously approved applications. Neither we nor any of our
employees have ever been subject to debarment.
14
New Drug Application Process
FDA approval is required before any new drug can be marketed. An NDA is a
filing submitted to the FDA to obtain approval of a new drug and must contain
complete pre-clinical and clinical safety and efficacy data or a right of
reference to such data. Before dosing a new drug in healthy human subjects or
patients may begin, stringent government requirements for preclinical data must
be satisfied. The pre-clinical data, typically obtained from studies in animal
species as well as from laboratory studies, are submitted in an Investigational
New Drug, or IND, application, or its equivalent in countries outside the United
States where clinical trials are to be conducted. The preclinical data must
provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the safety and the scientific
rationale for the initiation of clinical trials.
Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases,
although the phases may overlap.
- In Phase I, which frequently begins with the initial introduction of the
compound into healthy human subjects prior to introduction into patients,
the product is tested for safety, adverse effects, dosage, tolerance
absorption, metabolism, excretion and other elements of clinical
pharmacology.
- Phase II typically involves studies in a small sample of the intended
patient population to assess the efficacy of the compound for a specific
indication, to determine dose tolerance and the optimal dose range as
well as to gather additional information relating to safety and potential
adverse effects.
- Phase III trials are undertaken to further evaluate clinical safety and
efficacy in an expanded patient population at typically dispersed study
sites, in order to determine the overall risk-benefit ratio of the
compound and to provide an adequate basis for product labeling.
Each trial is conducted in accordance with certain standards under
protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to
monitor safety and the efficacy criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol must be
submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. In some cases, the FDA allows a company
to rely on data developed in foreign countries, or previously published data,
which eliminates the need to independently repeat some or all of the studies.
Data from preclinical testing and clinical trials are submitted to the FDA
as an NDA for marketing approval and to other health authorities as a marketing
authorization application. The process of completing clinical trials for a new
drug may take several years and require the expenditure of substantial
resources. Preparing an NDA or marketing authorization application involves
considerable data collection, verification, analysis and expense, and there can
be no assurance that approval from the FDA or any other health authority will be
granted on a timely basis, if at all. The approval process is affected by a
number of factors, primarily the risks and benefits demonstrated in clinical
trials as well as the severity of the disease and the availability of
alternative treatments. The FDA or other health authorities may deny an NDA or
marketing authorization application if the regulatory criteria are not
satisfied, or such authorities may require additional testing or information.
Even after initial FDA or other health authority approval has been
obtained, further studies, including Phase IV post-marketing studies, may be
required to provide additional data on safety. The post-marketing studies could
be used to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for clinical
indications other than those for which the product was initially tested.
Also, the FDA or other regulatory authorities require post-marketing
reporting to monitor the adverse effects of the drug. Results of post-marketing
programs may limit or expand the further marketing of the products. Further, if
there are any modifications to the drug, including changes in indication,
manufacturing process or labeling or a change in the manufacturing facility, an
application seeking approval of such changes must be submitted to the FDA or
other regulatory authority. Additionally, the FDA regulates post-approval
promotional labeling and advertising activities to assure that such activities
are being conducted in conformity with statutory and regulatory requirements.
Failure to adhere to such requirements can result in regulatory actions that
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Drug Enforcement Agency
Because we sell and develop products containing controlled substances, we
must meet the requirements and regulations of the Controlled Substances Act,
which are administered by the DEA. These regulations include stringent
requirements for manufacturing controls and security to prevent diversion of or
unauthorized access to the drugs in each stage of the production and
distribution process. The DEA regulates allocation to us of raw materials used
in the production of controlled substances based on historical sales data. We
believe we are currently in compliance with all applicable DEA requirements.
15
Medicaid/Medicare
In November 1990, a law regarding reimbursement for prescribed Medicaid
drugs was passed as part of the Congressional Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1990. The law requires drug manufacturers to enter into a rebate contract
with the Federal Government. All generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, whose
products are covered by the Medicaid program, are required to rebate to each
state a percentage of their average net sales price for the products in
question. These percentages are currently 11% in the case of products sold by us
which are covered by an ANDA and 15% of products sold by us which are covered by
an NDA. We accrue for these future estimated rebates in our consolidated
financial statements.
Over the last year, the extension of prescription drug coverage to all
Medicare recipients has gained support in Congress. The Generic Pharmaceutical
Association, or the GPhA, is actively involved in discussions regarding the
structure and scope of any proposed Medicare prescription drug benefit plans.
We, as an active member in the GPhA, support the development of an industry-wide
position on Medicare.
We believe that federal and/or state governments may continue to enact
measures in the future aimed at reducing the cost of providing prescription
drug benefits to the public, particularly senior citizens. We cannot predict the
nature of such measures or their impact on our profitability.
EMPLOYEES
Our success depends on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified
scientific and management personnel. We face competition for personnel from
other companies, academic institutions, government entities and other
organizations. As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately 1,234 full-time
employees, including 205 in research and development and 799 in production and
quality assurance/control. Approximately 78 of our employees are represented by
Local 2-149 of the Paper, Allied, Chemical and Energy (PACE) Union International
under a collective bargaining agreement that expires on April 1, 2005. We
believe that our relations with our employees are good and we have no history of
work stoppages.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, total research and
development expenditures were approximately $91, $76 and $58 million,
respectively. The increase in research and development spending during the past
two fiscal years has been led primarily by higher spending on proprietary
product development activities. Research and development expenditures for
generic development activities include personnel costs, costs paid to third
party contract research organizations for conducting bioequivalence studies and
costs for raw materials used in developing the products. Proprietary development
costs also include personnel costs, clinical study costs and funds paid to third
party clinical research organizations that are responsible for conducting the
clinical trials required to support a product application with FDA. We
anticipate that total research and development expenditures will increase during
fiscal 2004 as we increase our investment in proprietary products and invest in
products using the proprietary vaginal ring delivery platform acquired from
Enhance Pharmaceuticals in June 2002.
COMPETITION
The generic pharmaceutical business is subject to intense competition. As
patents and other bases for market exclusivity expire, generic competitors, such
as we, enter the marketplace. Normally, there is a unit price decline as the
number of generic competitors increases. The timing of these price decreases is
unpredictable and can result in a significantly curtailed period of
profitability for a generic product. In addition, brand-name manufacturers
frequently take actions to prevent or discourage the use of generic equivalents.
These actions may include:
- filing new patents on drugs whose original patent protection is about to
expire;
- developing patented controlled-release products or other product
improvements;
- increasing marketing initiatives; and
- commencing litigation.
16
Generic pharmaceuticals market conditions, particularly in the U.S., have
been affected by industry consolidation and a fundamental shift in industry
distribution, purchasing and stocking patterns resulting from the increased
importance of sales to major chain drug stores and major wholesalers and a
concurrent reduction in sales to private label generic distributors. Large chain
drug stores and large wholesalers expect lower prices on products sold and
maintain lower levels of inventory at their facilities.
We also face competition for our proprietary products from proprietary and
generic products and from promotional activities by other competing
pharmaceutical companies. This competition affects our ability to market our
proprietary products effectively and customer acceptance of our products. We
currently market three proprietary products that compete against other branded
products. Our Cenestin synthetic conjugated estrogens product competes in the
hormone therapy market with products such as Premarin while ViaSpan competes
with several other products in the organ transplant preservation market. Pending
a final approval by FDA, our SEASONALE, an extended cycle oral contraceptive
product, will compete with other oral contraceptive products.
We compete in varying degrees with numerous other manufacturers of
pharmaceutical products, both branded and generic. These competitors include:
- - brand pharmaceutical companies whose patent protected therapies compete
with both generic and proprietary products marketed or being developed by
us, including AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth, Bristol-Myers Squibb
and Eli Lilly & Company;
- - the generic divisions and subsidiaries of brand pharmaceutical companies,
including Geneva Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Novartis AG;
- - large independent generic manufacturers/distributors that provide a
broad line of products, including Mylan Laboratories and Teva
Pharmaceuticals; and
- - generic manufacturers that target categories in our product lines, such as
Watson Pharmaceuticals, Andrx Corporation and Eon Labs.
Many of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we
have, and are therefore able to devote more resources than we can in such areas
as sales and marketing support and product development. In order to ensure our
ability to compete effectively, we:
- focus our proprietary and generic product development in areas of
historical strength or competitive advantage;
- target generic products for development that have unique
characteristics, including: difficulty in sourcing raw materials;
difficulty in formulation or establishing bioequivalence; manufacturing
that requires unique facilities, processes or expertise; and
- make significant investments in plant and equipment to give us a
competitive edge in manufacturing.
These factors, when combined with our investment in new product development
and our focus on select therapeutic categories, provide the basis for our belief
that we will continue to remain a leading independent specialty pharmaceutical
company.
RAW MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING SUPPLIERS
We purchase the bulk pharmaceutical chemicals and raw materials that are
essential to our business, from numerous suppliers who are located both inside
and outside the U.S. We also purchase certain finished dosage form products,
such as Ciprofloxacin, from third-party suppliers. As we previously described,
our generic product development strategy includes identifying products where
there are a limited number of raw material suppliers. As a consequence, certain
products that account for a significant portion of our revenues and profits are
currently available only from sole or limited suppliers including Ciprofloxacin,
warfarin sodium and dextro salt combo and several of our oral contraceptives.
Arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to certain additional risks,
including obtaining governmental clearances, export duties, political
instability, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds.
Any inability to obtain raw materials or finished products on a timely basis, or
any significant price increases that cannot be passed on to customers, could
have a material adverse effect on us. Because prior FDA approval of raw material
suppliers or product manufacturers is required, if raw materials or finished
products from an approved supplier or manufacturer were to become unavailable,
the required FDA approval of a new supplier could cause a significant delay in
the manufacture or supply of the affected drug product.
17
PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE
Product liability litigation represents a continuing risk to firms in the
pharmaceutical industry. We strive to minimize such risks by adherence to strict
quality control procedures. We also maintain various types of insurance to
protect against and manage these risks. On September 30, 2002, we entered into a
finite risk insurance arrangement (the "Arrangement") with a third party
insurer, due to the significant increase in the cost of traditional product
liability insurance. We believe that the Arrangement is an effective way to
insure against a portion of potential product liability claims. In exchange for
$15 million in product liability coverage over a five-year term, the Arrangement
provides for us to pay approximately $14.25 million in four equal annual
installments. Included in the initial payment is an insurer's margin of
approximately $1 million. At any six-month interval, we may, at our option,
cancel the Arrangement. In addition, at the earlier of termination or expiry, we
are eligible for a return of all amounts paid to the insurer, less the insurer's
margin and amounts for any incurred claims.
We continue to be self-insured for potential product liability claims
between $15 million and $25 million. We have purchased additional coverage from
an insurance carrier that will offer coverage for claims between $25 million and
$50 million, subject to a $10 million limitation on some of our products and an
exclusion on others.
Simultaneously with entering into our finite policy, we exercised the
extended reporting period under our previous insurance policy that provides $10
million of product liability coverage for an unlimited duration for product
liability claims on products sold from September 10, 1987 to September 30, 2002.
Additionally, in connection with our merger with Duramed, we purchased a
supplemental extended reporting policy under Duramed's prior insurance policy
that provides $10 million of product liability coverage for an unlimited
duration for product liability claims on products sold by Duramed between
October 1, 1985 and October 24, 2001.
We record a self-insurance reserve for each reported claim on a
case-by-case basis, plus an allowance for the estimated future cost of incurred
but not reported ("IBNR") claims. In assessing the amounts to record for each
reported claim, with the assistance of our counsel and insurance consultants, we
consider the nature and amount of the claim, our prior experience with similar
claims, and whether the amount expected to be paid on a claim is both probable
and reasonably estimable. In determining the allowance for the estimated future
cost of both reported and IBNR claims as of June 30, 2003, we utilized
projections of our outstanding estimated losses as determined by an independent
actuary. As of June 30, 2003, we had recorded self-insurance reserves and
related expenses of $1.3 million in accrued liabilities and selling, general and
administrative expenses. The costs of the ultimate disposition of both existing
and IBNR claims may differ from this reserve amount.
We have never been held liable for, or agreed to pay, a significant product
liability claim. However, we are from time to time a defendant in several
product liability actions. If we were to incur defense costs and liabilities in
excess of our self-insurance reserve that are not otherwise covered by
insurance, it could have a material adverse effect on the results of our
operations or financial condition (see "Legal Proceedings" for a description of
significant product liability litigation).
INDEMNITY PROVISIONS
From time to time, in the normal course of business, we agree to indemnify
our suppliers and customers concerning product liability and other matters.
ENVIRONMENT
We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with
applicable laws and regulations concerning the environment. While it is
impossible to predict accurately the future costs associated with environmental
compliance and potential remediation activities, we do not expect compliance
with environmental laws to require significant capital expenditures nor do we
expect such compliance to have a material adverse effect on our earnings or
competitive position.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS ACTIVITIES
With a large number of branded pharmaceutical products scheduled to lose
their patent protection over the next several years, the branded pharmaceutical
industry has increased its efforts to utilize state and federal legislative and
regulatory arenas to delay generic competition, or otherwise limit the severe
market erosion they can experience once monopoly protection is lost for the
branded product. Efforts to achieve these goals include, but are not limited to,
filing additional patents for inclusion in the FDA's Orange Book in an attempt
to increase the period of patent protection for products, directly petitioning
the FDA to request amendments to FDA standards through the Citizen Petition
process and seeking changes in United States Pharmacopeia standards.
18
The U.S. Congress is currently debating several legislative initiatives
that address various brand and generic pharmaceutical issues, including
consideration of adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare. It is unclear
what effect such legislation, if passed, will have on the generic industry.
Because a balanced and fair legislative and regulatory arena is critical to
the generic pharmaceutical industry, we have and will continue to put a major
emphasis in terms of management time and financial resources on government
affairs activities. We currently maintain an office and staff a full-time
government affairs department in Washington, D.C., which has responsibility for
coordinating state and federal legislative activities and coordinating with the
generic industry trade association.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We have facilities and operations in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Washington, D.C. The following table presents the facilities owned
or leased by us as of June 30, 2003 and indicates the location and principal use

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
PATENT CHALLENGE LITIGATION
Alendronate Sodium (Fosamax(R))
In June 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
alendronate sodium 70 mg tablets, the generic equivalent of Merck's Fosamax 70
mg tablets. We notified Merck pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act
and, in August 2001, Merck filed the identical patent infringement actions in
the United States District Courts for the District of Delaware and the Southern
District of New York, seeking to prevent us from marketing alendronate sodium 70
mg tablets until 2018 when the last of certain U.S. patents is alleged to
expire. In January 2002, the Delaware action was dismissed based on a lack of
personal jurisdiction over us. We answered the New York action.
In August 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
alendronate sodium 35 mg tablets, the generic equivalent of Merck's Fosamax 35
mg tablets. We notified Merck pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act
and, in December 2001, Merck filed a patent infringement action in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware, seeking to prevent us from
marketing alendronate sodium 35 mg tablets until 2018 when the last of certain
U.S. patents is alleged to expire. In December 2001, Merck filed the identical
patent infringement actions in the United States District Courts for the
Southern District of New York and the District of Delaware. On January 29, 2002,
Merck voluntarily dismissed the Delaware action. We answered the New York
action.
In January 2002, the Court in New York consolidated the cases involving the
70 mg and 35 mg alendronate sodium products for all purposes. In November
2002, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued a
decision in an action brought by Merck against Teva Pharmaceuticals arising out
of the filing of an ANDA by Teva for alendronate sodium 5 mg, 10 mg and 40 mg
daily tablets. The District Court ruled that U.S. patent 4,621,077 was not
invalid, was infringed by Teva's ANDA filing, and was properly extended. Teva
has appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit and the appeal has been fully
briefed, but an argument date has not been set.
In December 2003, Merck and Teva tried another case in the United States
District Court for the District of Delaware arising from the filing of Teva's
ANDA for Alendronate Sodium 35 mg and 70 mg weekly tablets, involving U.S.
patent 5,994,329. No decision has been entered in the case.
In March 2003, we entered into an agreement with Merck to: (1) stay
further proceedings in the case involving our challenge to Merck's Fosomax
patents, subject to certain conditions, pending the entry of final judgments in
the litigation between Merck and Teva; and (2) each be bound, with certain
limited exceptions, by such judgments. That agreement was entered as an order of
the Court in March 2003.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to the alendronate sodium 35 mg product. If so, we
may be eligible for 180 days of generic exclusivity with respect to that
product, depending on a variety of factors.
Desmopressin Acetate (DDAVP(R))
In July 2002, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
desmopressin acetate tablets, the generic equivalent of Aventis' DDAVP product.
We notified Ferring AB, the patent holder, and Aventis pursuant to the
provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act in October 2002. Ferring and Aventis filed a
suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
in December 2002 for infringement of one of the four patents listed in the
Orange Book for desmopressin acetate tablets, seeking to prevent us from
marketing desmopressin acetate tablets until the patent expires in 2008. In
January 2003, we filed an answer and counterclaim asserting non-infringement and
invalidity of all four listed patents.
We believe that we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we may be eligible for 180
days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
Desogestrel Ethinyl Estradiol (Mircette(R))
In May 2000, Duramed, which is now our wholly owned subsidiary, filed an
ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market the tablet combination of
desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ethinyl estradiol tablets, the generic
equivalent of Organon, Inc.'s Mircette oral contraceptive regimen. Duramed
notified the patent holder, Biotechnology General Corp. ("BTG") pursuant to the
20
provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and BTG filed a patent infringement case in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey seeking to
prevent Duramed from marketing the tablet combination. In December 2001, the
District Court granted summary judgment, finding that Duramed's product did not
infringe the patent. BTG filed an appeal of the District Court's decision. In
April 2002, we launched Kariva(R), the generic version of Mircette. In April
2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the District
Court's decision granting summary judgment in Duramed's favor and remanded the
case to the District Court for further proceedings. In July 2003, BTG (now
Savient) file an amended complaint adding Organon (Ireland) Ltd. and Organon USA
as plaintiffs and adding us as a defendant. The amended complaint seeks damages
and enhanced damages based upon willful infringement. We believe that we have
not infringed BTG's patent and continue to manufacture and market Kariva. If BTG
or Organon is successful, we could be liable for damages for patent
infringement, which could have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated
financial statements.
Dextroamphetamine combination extended release (Adderall XR(TM))
In November 2002, we filed an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture and sell
a generic version of Shire's Adderall XR products. In January 2003, we notified
Shire pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. In February 2003,
Shire filed a patent infringement suit against us in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York, alleging that our product infringes U.S.
Patent No. 6,322,819. We filed an answer to Shire's complaint in March 2003,
and, in April 2003, filed an amended answer to Shire's April 2003 amended
complaint. The case is currently scheduled to be ready for trial in July 2005.
On August 12, 2003 Shire obtained an additional patent from the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. We have submitted an amendment to our ANDA certifying our
belief that this patent is invalid, unenforceable or will not be infringed by
our product.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent certification to this product. If so, we may be eligible for
180 days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Capsules (Allegra(R)) / Fexofenadine Hydrochloride
Tablets (Allegra(R)) / Fexofenadine Hydrochloride and Psudoephedrine
Hydrochloride (Allegra-D(R))
In May 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
fexofenadine hydrochloride capsules, the generic equivalent of Aventis
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s ("Aventis") Allegra capsule products. We notified
Aventis pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and, in August 2001,
Aventis filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey-Newark Division, seeking to prevent us from
marketing this product until after the expiration of various U.S. patents, the
last of which is alleged to expire in 2017.
In June 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets in 30 mg, 60 mg and 180 mg strengths, the
generic equivalent of Aventis Pharmaceutical, Inc.'s Allegra tablet products. We
notified Aventis pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and, in
September 2001, Aventis filed a patent infringement action in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey - Newark Division, seeking
to prevent us from marketing this product until after the expiration of various
U.S. patents, the last of which is alleged to expire in 2017.
In September 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
fexofenadine hydrochloride and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride extended release
tablets, the generic equivalent of Aventis Pharmaceutical, Inc.'s Allegra-D(R)
product. We notified Aventis pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act
and, in January 2002, Aventis filed a patent infringement action in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey - Newark Division, seeking
to prevent us from marketing fexofenadine and pseudoephedrine extended release
tablets until after the expiration of various U.S. patents, the last of which is
alleged to expire in 2018.
In March 2002, the Court entered an order consolidating the three Allegra
product patent challenge cases for all purposes. We have moved to dismiss
portions of Aventis' complaints asserting infringement of various patents that
are not listed in the Orange Book. After the filing of our ANDAs, Aventis listed
an additional patent on Allegra and Allegra-D in the Orange Book. We filed
appropriate amendments to our ANDAs to address the newly listed patent and, in
November 2002, notified Merrell Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the patent holder, and
Aventis pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. Aventis filed an
amended complaint in November 2002 claiming that our ANDAs infringe the newly
listed patent. Fact discovery is proceeding. A trial date has been scheduled for
September 2004.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to each of these products, and the first applicant
to file a paragraph IV patent challenge with respect to the additional patent
listed for Allegra capsules and Allegra tablets. If so, we may be eligible for
180 days of generic exclusivity with respect to each product, depending on a
variety of factors.
21
Mirtazapine Orally Disintegrating (Remeron(R)Soltabs(TM))
In December 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
mirtazapine orally disintegrating tablets, the generic equivalent of Akzo Nobel
and Organon, Inc.'s ("Akzo and Organon") Remeron Soltabs. We notified Akzo and
Organon pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act and in May 2002, Akzo and Organon filed
suit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to
prevent us from proceeding with the commercialization of this product. In May
2002, in addition to asserting non-infringement of the listed patent, we
asserted declaratory judgment counterclaims of non-infringement and/or
invalidity of two additional Akzo patents. In April 2003, the parties submitted
a stipulation of dismissal with respect to the Akzo patent listed in the Orange
Book on which Akzo's and Organon's original complaint against us was based. The
court signed the dismissal stipulation in April 2003. Currently, only our
declaratory judgment counterclaims remain in litigation.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we may be eligible for 180
days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
Modafinil (Provigil(R))
In December 2002, we filed an ANDA seeking approval to manufacture, use and
sell the generic versions of Cephalon's Provigil products and notified Cephalon
pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. Three other companies also
filed ANDAs on that date. In March 2003, Cephalon filed a patent infringement
suit against us, along with other defendants including Mylan Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., Mylan Laboratories, Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., Teva
Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. and Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd., in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement of U.S.
Patent No. RE 37,516 and seeking to prohibit us and others from manufacturing,
using or selling the products until patent expiration. In April 2003, we filed
our answer to Cephalon's complaint, denying infringement of the listed patent.
In June 2003, Cephalon voluntarily dismissed its claims against Teva
Pharmaceuticals Industries without prejudice. The case is in its early stages.
In July 2003, the FDA issued a guidance document indicating that it would
grant "shared exclusivity" in situations where more than one applicant files an
ANDA containing a patent challenge certification on the first day on which any
such ANDA is filed with respect to a listed patent. Under this approach, we may
be eligible for 180 days of shared exclusivity with the other three companies
who filed ANDAs with respect to Modafinil on December 24, 2002, depending on a
variety of factors.
Niacin (Niaspan(R))
In October 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to
manufacture, use and sell niacin extended release tablets 1000 mg, the generic
equivalent of KOS Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s Niaspan extended-release tablet. We
notified KOS pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and in March
2002, KOS filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York to prevent us from manufacturing, using or selling this
product. The case is in the discovery stage.
In March and April 2002, we filed ANDAs seeking approval from the FDA to
market 500 mg and 750 mg niacin extended release tablets, respectively. We
notified KOS pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act, and in August
2002, KOS filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
After the filing of our ANDAs, KOS listed an additional patent on Niaspan
in the Orange Book. We filed appropriate amendments to our ANDAs to address the
newly listed patent and, in September 2002, notified KOS pursuant to the
provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. KOS filed a complaint in November 2002,
claiming that our ANDA infringes the newly listed patent.
Barr's answers to each of KOS's complaints contained declaratory judgment
counterclaims to two additional KOS patents. The District Court denied KOS's
motion to dismiss those counterclaims and, in February 2003, KOS filed its
own declaratory judgment counterclaim for infringement of those two additional
KOS patents. As such, there currently are five patents at issue in the
litigation. In March 2003, we filed our answer to KOS's declaratory judgment
counterclaim. This case is currently scheduled for trial at the end of 2004.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to these products. If so, we may be eligible for
180 days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
22
Norgestimate / Ethinyl Estradiol (Ortho Tri-Cyclen(R))
In February 2000, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
three different tablet combinations of norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol, the
generic equivalent of Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical Inc.'s ("Ortho") Ortho
Tri-Cyclen. We notified Ortho pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act
and, in June 2000, Ortho filed a patent infringement action in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey seeking to prevent us from
marketing the three different tablet combinations of norgestimate and ethinyl
estradiol until certain U.S. patents expire in September 2003. In January 2003,
the District Court denied both parties' motions for summary judgment.
In July 2003, we reached a settlement with Ortho. Under the terms of the
settlement, we will be permitted to introduce a generic product no later than
December 29, 2003. We will launch our generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen
earlier than December 29, 2003, if Ortho fails to file with the FDA for
pediatric exclusivity prior to patent expiry on September 26, 2003 or files and
the FDA denies its request. As part of the settlement, we acknowledged our
infringement of, and the validity and enforceability of, the patent claims at
issue in the case.
Norethindrone Acetate / Ethinyl Estradiol (Estrostep(R)) and Norethindrone
Acetate / Ethinyl Estradiol (Estrostep FE(R))
In May 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market three
different tablet combinations of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol,
the generic equivalent of Warner Lambert Company's Estrostep oral contraceptive
regimen. We notified Warner-Lambert pursuant to the provisions of the
Hatch-Waxman act and, in August 2001, Warner-Lambert filed a patent infringement
action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, seeking to prevent us from marketing the three different tablet
combinations of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol until after the
expiration of two U.S. patents, the last of which expires in 2008. The Company
has answered the complaint and fact discovery has been completed.
In January 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
three different norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets in a 28-day
regimen, the generic equivalent of Pfizer's Estrostep FE product. We notified
Pfizer pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and, in August 2001,
Pfizer filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York, seeking to prevent us from marketing
norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets until two U.S. patents
expire in 2007 and 2008. The Company has answered the complaint and fact
discovery has been completed.
On November 15, 2002, the Court ordered expert discovery and trial of the
28-day regimen and 21-day regimen cases consolidated. No trial date has been
set.
In March 2003, Pfizer transferred ownership of these products to Galen
Holdings plc. We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing
a paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we may be eligible for
180 days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
Norethindrone Acetate / Estradiol (FemHRT(R))
In August 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from FDA to market
norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets, the generic equivalent of
Pfizer's FemHRT. We notified Pfizer pursuant to the provisions of the
Hatch-Waxman Act and, in December 2001, Pfizer filed a patent infringement
action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York, seeking to prevent us from marketing this product until after the
expiration of certain patents, the last of which expires in 2010. We filed our
answer in February 2002. The case is in the discovery phase. The case is
scheduled to be ready for trial by March 2004.
In April 2003, Pfizer transferred ownership of these products to Galen
Holdings plc. We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing
a paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we may be eligible for
180 days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
Raloxifene Hydrochloride (Evista(R))
In June 2002, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
Raloxifene Hydrochloride tablets, the generic equivalent of Eli Lilly's Evista
product. We notified Eli Lilly pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman
Act in October 2002. After the filing of our ANDA, Eli Lilly listed an
additional patent on Evista in the Orange Book. We filed appropriate amendments
to our ANDA to include the newly listed patent and notified Eli Lilly in
November 2002.
23
In November 2002, Eli Lilly filed a suit in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Indiana for infringement of several listed
patents, including the newly listed patent, seeking to prevent us from marketing
raloxifene hydrochloride tablets until the expiration of various patents, the
last of which expires in 2017. We answered the complaint in December 2002 and
filed an amended answer later that month. In February 2003, we voluntarily
dismissed without prejudice our counterclaims as to several patents. In June
2003, we filed a second amended answer, asserting declaratory judgment on an
unlisted patent. The case is scheduled to be ready for trial by February 2005.
We believe we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we may be eligible for 180
days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of factors.
CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
Ciprofloxacin
To date we have been named in approximately 38 class action complaints
filed in state and federal courts by direct and indirect purchasers of
Ciprofloaxcin from 1997 to the present against us, Bayer Corporation, The Rugby
Group, Inc. and others. The complaints allege that the 1997 Bayer-Barr patent
litigation settlement agreement was anti-competitive and violated federal
antitrust laws and/or state antitrust and consumer protection laws. A prior
investigation of this agreement by the Texas Attorney General's Office on behalf
of a group of state Attorneys General was closed without further action in
December 2001.
The lawsuits include nine consolidated in California state court, one in
Kansas state court, one in Wisconsin state court, one in Florida state court,
and two in New York state court, with the remainder of the actions pending in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for
coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings (the "MDL Case"). Fact
discovery in the MDL case is currently scheduled to close in November 2003,
after which the parties will proceed with expert discovery, followed by
anticipated summary judgment briefing. The direct purchaser and indirect
purchaser plaintiffs also have filed motions for class certification in the MDL
case, but briefing is not complete and the Court has indicated that it will
defer ruling on the motions at the present time. The state court actions remain
in a relatively preliminary stage generally, tracked to follow the MDL Case,
although defendants have filed dispositive motions and plaintiffs have moved for
class certification in certain of the cases.
In May 2003, the District Court entered an order in the MDL Case
holding that the Barr-Bayer settlement did not constitute a per se violation of
the antitrust laws and restricting the scope of the legal theories the
plaintiffs could pursue in the case.
We believe that our agreement with Bayer Corporation reflects a valid
settlement to a patent suit and cannot form the basis of an antitrust claim.
Although it is not possible to forecast the outcome of this matter, we intend to
vigorously defend ourselves. We anticipate that this matter may take several
years to resolve, but an adverse judgment could have a material adverse impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
Tamoxifen
To date approximately 31 consumer or third-party payor class action
complaints have been filed in state and federal courts against Zeneca, Inc.,
AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and us alleging, among other things, that the
1993 settlement of patent litigation between Zeneca, Inc. and us violated the
antitrust laws, insulates Zeneca, Inc. and us from generic competition and
enables Zeneca, Inc. and us to charge artificially inflated prices for Tamoxifen
citrate. A prior investigation of this agreement by the U.S. Department of
Justice was closed without further action.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred these cases
to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for
pretrial proceedings. On May 19, 2003, the District Court entered judgment
dismissing the cases for failure to state a viable antitrust claim. Plaintiffs
have filed a notice of appeal.
We believe that our agreement with Zeneca, Inc. reflects a valid settlement
to a patent suit and cannot form the basis of an antitrust claim. Although it is
not possible to forecast the outcome of this matter, we intend to vigorously
defend ourselves. We anticipate that this matter may take several years to
resolve, but an adverse judgment could have a material adverse impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
24
OTHER LITIGATION
Invamed, Inc./Apothecon, Inc.
In February 1998, Invamed, Inc., which has since been acquired by Geneva
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a subsidiary of Novartis AG, named several others and us
as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, charging that we unlawfully blocked access to the
raw material source for Warfarin Sodium. In May 1999, Apothecon, Inc., then a
subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Inc. filed a similar lawsuit. The two
actions have been consolidated. In May 2002, the District Court granted summary
judgment in our favor on all antitrust claims, but found that the plaintiffs
could proceed to trial on their allegations that we tortiously interfered with
an alleged raw material supply contract between Invamed and our raw material
supplier. Invamed and Apothecon have appealed the District Court's decision to
the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Trial on the merits
has been stayed pending the outcome of the appeal.
We believe that the suits filed by Invamed and Apothecon are without merit
and intend to defend our position vigorously. We anticipate that this matter may
take several years to be resolved but an adverse judgment could have a material
adverse impact on our business and consolidated financial statements.
Termination of Solvay Co-Marketing Relationship
In March 2002, Duramed gave notice of its intention to terminate on June
30, 2002, the relationship between Duramed and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
("Solvay") concerning the joint promotion of Duramed's Cenestin tablets and
Solvay's Prometrium(R) capsules. Solvay has disputed Duramed's right to
terminate the relationship and claims that it is entitled to substantial
damages, and has notified Duramed that it has demanded arbitration of this
matter. Discovery is underway and the arbitration hearing is currently scheduled
to begin in January 2004. We believe that Duramed's actions are well founded,
but if we are incorrect an adverse decision in the matter could have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adderall Trade Dress Infringement Suit
In May 2002, Shire Richwood, Inc. ("Shire") filed a lawsuit against us in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming that
our generic dextroamphetamine salt combination product uses trade dress that is
similar in appearance to Shire's Adderall(R). Shire sought a preliminary
injunction to restrain us from using the trade dress and to have us recall from
the marketplace any product sold in such trade dress. In August 2002, the
District Court denied Shire's motion for preliminary injunction, and in May
2003, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rejected Shire's
appeal of the district court's ruling. We believe the suit is without merit and
do not expect the on-going litigation to cause any disruption in the
manufacturing and sale of the product.
Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc. Antitrust Suit
This case was previously reported in our annual report Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2002 as filed with the SEC on August 26, 2002. Our Duramed
subsidiary claimed that Wyeth had illegally perpetuated a monopoly in conjugated
estrogens products. The case has been settled and dismissed in connection with
our June 2003 transaction and settlement with Wyeth.
Fluoxetine Hydrochloride Patent Infringement
This case was previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2002 as filed with the SEC on August 26, 2002. aaiPharma
Inc. claimed that the generic versions of fluoxetine hydrochloride (brand name
Prozac(R)) manufactured by us and other companies infringe aaiPharma's patent.
The case has been settled and dismissed.
Lemelson
In November 2001, the Lemelson Medical, Education & Research Foundation, LP
filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona
alleging patent infringement against many defendants, including us, involving
"machine vision" or "computer image analysis." In March 2002, the court entered
an Order of Stay in the proceedings, pending the resolution of another suit that
involves the same patents, but does not involve us.
25
Medicaid Reimbursement Cases
We have learned that we have been named as a defendant in separate actions
brought by the County of Suffolk, New York and Westchester County, New York
against numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers. The action seeks to recover
damages and other relief for alleged overcharges for prescription medications
paid for by Medicaid. We believe that we have not engaged in any improper
conduct and intend to vigorously defend against the cases. However, an
unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
PPA Litigation
We are a defendant in three personal injury product liability lawsuits
involving phenylproanolamine ("PPA"). All three cases are in their initial
stages. We believe we have strong defenses to all three cases and intend to
vigorously defend against them. However, an unfavorable outcome could have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
MPA Litigation
We have been named as a defendant in at least ten personal injury product
liability cases brought against us and other manufacturers by plaintiffs
claiming that they suffered injuries resulting from the use of
medroxyprogesterone acetate ("MPA") in conjunction with Premarin or other
hormone therapy products. These cases are in a preliminary stage and we do not
know whether any of these individuals took an MPA product manufactured by us. We
intend to vigorously defend against these cases. However, an unfavorable outcome
could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Administrative Matters
On June 30, 1999, we received a civil investigative demand ("CID") and
a subpoena from the FTC that sought documents and data relating to the January
1997 agreements resolving our patent litigation involving Ciprofloxacin
Hydrochloride, which had been pending in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York. The CID was limited to a request for information
and did not allege any wrongdoing. The FTC is investigating whether we, through
our settlement and supply agreements, have engaged in activities in violation of
the antitrust laws. We continue to cooperate with the FTC in this investigation.
On August 17, 2001, the Oregon Attorney General's Office, as liaison on
behalf of a group of state Attorneys General, served us with a civil
investigation demand relating to its investigation of our settlement of our
Tamoxifen patent challenge with AstraZeneca. The investigative demand requests
the production of certain information and documents that may assist the Attorney
General in its investigation. We are fully cooperating with the Attorney
General's office in its investigation.
We believe that the patent challenge settlements being investigated are
lawful and represent a pro-consumer and pro-competitive outcome to the patent
challenge cases. An investigation of the tamoxifen settlement by the U.S.
Department of Justice and an investigation of the ciprofloxacin settlement by
the Texas Attorney General's Office on behalf of other state Attorneys General
already have been satisfactorily resolved without further action and we expect
these investigations to be satisfactorily resolved, as well. However,
consideration of these matters could take considerable time, and any adverse
judgment could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In May 2001, we received a subpoena, issued by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General, for the production of documents
related to pricing and Medicaid reimbursement of select products in
Massachusetts. We are one of a number of pharmaceutical companies that have
received such subpoenas. We are cooperating with the inquiry and believe that
all of our product agreements and pricing decisions have been lawful and proper.
The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General
("Department") issued a subpoena to us requesting documents relating to a
published study on Cenestin(R). This investigation was concluded without further
action.
We, along with several other pharmaceutical manufacturers and
wholesalers, have received a request from the U.S. House of Representatives
Committee on Energy and Commerce concerning the pricing and reporting of pricing
of our products for Medicaid purposes. The information requested from us is
limited to two specific products, fluoxetine and oxycodone. We believe our
pricing and price reporting are in compliance with all applicable laws and
intend to cooperate with the Committee in this matter.
26
OTHER MATTERS
Nortrel(R) 7/7/7 Product Recall
On July 9, 2003, we initiated a recall of three lots of our Nortrel(R)
7/7/7 oral contraceptive product, as a result of having received two customer
complaints that the tablets in the product that had been dispensed to them were
misconfigured. We have since received reports of pregnancies from approximately
18 women who claim to have taken the product. We are in the process of
investigating whether these women have taken affected product and whether their
pregnancies are related to the use of the affected product. We anticipate that
one or more of these women may seek legal recourse against us. We do not have
sufficient information at this time to evaluate the likelihood of success in
these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome in one or more of these matters
could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2003, we were involved with other lawsuits incidental to
our business, including patent infringement actions and personal injury claims.
Based on the advice of legal counsel, we believe that the ultimate disposition
of such other lawsuits will not have material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(dollars in thousands)
Forward-Looking Statements
The following sections contain a number of forward-looking statements. To the
extent that any statements made in this report contain information that is not
historical, these statements are essentially forward-looking. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by their use of words such as "expects," "plans,"
"will," "may," "anticipates," "believes," "should," "intends," "estimates" and
other words of similar meaning. These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, actual
results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include:
- the difficulty in predicting the timing and outcome of legal
proceedings, including patent-related matters such as patent
challenge settlements and patent infringement cases;
- the difficulty of predicting the timing of U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, or FDA, approvals;
- court and FDA decisions on exclusivity periods;
- the ability of competitors to extend exclusivity periods for
their products;
- market and customer acceptance and demand for our
pharmaceutical products;
- reimbursement policies of third party payors;
- our ability to market our proprietary products;
- the successful integration of acquired businesses and products
into our operations;
- the use of estimates in the preparation of our financial
statements;
- the impact of competitive products and pricing;
- the ability to develop and launch new products on a timely
basis;
- the availability of raw materials;
- the availability of any product we purchase and sell as a
distributor;
- the regulatory environment;
- the impact of product liability claims and the availability of
product liability insurance coverage;
- fluctuations in operating results, including the effects on
such results from spending for research and development, sales
and marketing activities and patent challenge activities; and
- other risks detailed from time-to-time in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We operate in one business segment, which is the development, manufacture and
marketing of pharmaceutical products. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements, on October 24, 2001, we completed our merger with Duramed
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Duramed"). The merger was treated as a tax-free
reorganization and was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests for financial
reporting purposes. On June 6, 2002, we acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. On June 9, 2003, we
purchased the rights to four currently marketed products from Wyeth and entered
into a license and sublicense agreement for an oral contraceptive product
currently in development.
Duramed's fiscal year-end was different than ours. Duramed had a calendar
year-end, whereas our fiscal year ends on June 30th. Financial information for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 is presented as if we merged with Duramed on
July 1, 2001. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, financial information for
our fiscal year ended June 30th was combined with financial information for
Duramed's calendar year ended December 31st. Our consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended June 30, 2001 was combined with Duramed's
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. Our statement of
cash flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was combined with Duramed's
statement of cash flows for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000.
29
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying the accounting policies
most critical to our financial statements have a significant impact on our
reported results. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the
most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our
most difficult and subjective judgments. Based on this definition, our most
critical policies include the following: (1) provisions for estimated sales
returns and allowances; (2) accrual of inventory reserves; (3) deferred taxes;
(4) accrual for litigation; (5) accrual for self-insurance reserve; and (6) the
assessment of recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. We also
have other key accounting policies including policies for revenue recognition.
We believe that these other policies either do not generally require us to make
estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective as the six listed
above, or are less likely to have a material impact on our reported results of
operations for a given period. For additional information, see Note 1 "Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data," of this report. Although we believe that our estimates
and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the
time the estimates and assumptions were made. Actual results may differ
significantly from our estimates and our estimates could be different using
different assumptions or conditions.
Sales Returns and Allowances
When we recognize revenue from the sale of our pharmaceutical products, we
simultaneously record estimates for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and
other sales allowances. These estimates serve to reduce our reported product
sales. In addition, as discussed in detail below, we may record allowances for
shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are appropriate. We base our
estimates for sales allowances such as product returns, rebates and chargebacks
on a variety of factors, including the actual return experience of that product
or similar products, rebate agreements for each product, and estimated sales by
our wholesale customers to other third parties who have contracts with us.
Actual experience associated with any of these items may differ materially from
our estimates. We review the factors that influence our estimates and, if
necessary, make adjustments when we believe actual product returns, credits and
other allowances may differ from established reserves.
We often issue credits to customers for inventory remaining on their shelves
following a decrease in the market price of a generic pharmaceutical product.
These credits, commonly referred to in the pharmaceutical industry as
"shelf-stock adjustments," can then be used by customers to offset future
amounts owing to us. The shelf-stock adjustment is intended to reduce a
customer's inventory cost to better reflect current market prices and is often
used by us to maintain our long-term customer relationships. The determination
to grant a shelf-stock credit to a customer following a price decrease is
usually at our discretion rather than contractually required. We record
allowances for shelf-stock adjustments at the time we sell products that we
believe will be subject to a price decrease or when market conditions indicate
that a shelf-stock adjustment is necessary to facilitate the sell-through of our
product. When determining whether to record an amount for a shelf-stock
adjustment, we analyze several variables including the estimated launch date of
a competing product, the estimated decline in market price and estimated levels
of inventory held by the customer at the time of the decrease in market price.
As a result, a shelf-stock reserve depends on a product's unique facts and
circumstances. We regularly monitor these and other factors for our significant
products and evaluate and adjust, if applicable, our reserves and estimates as
additional information becomes available.
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances related to the above
provisions of $136,059 at June 30, 2003 and $93,789 at June 30, 2002.
Inventory Reserves
We establish reserves for our inventory to reflect situations in which the cost
of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. We regularly review our
inventory for products close to expiration and therefore not expected to be
sold, for products that have reached their expiration date and for products that
are not expected to be saleable based on our quality assurance and control
standards. The reserve for these products is equal to all or a portion of the
cost of the inventory based on the specific facts and circumstances. In
evaluating whether inventory is properly stated at the lower of cost or market,
we consider such factors as the amount of product inventory on hand, estimated
time required to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and current and
expected market conditions, including levels of competition. We monitor
inventory levels, expiry dates and market conditions on a regular basis. We
record provisions for inventory reserves as part of cost of sales.
Inventories are presented net of reserves of $13,201 at June 30, 2003 and
$10,236 at June 30, 2002.
Deferred Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences
of temporary
30
differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for the
portion of deferred tax assets which are "more-likely-than-not" to be
unrealized. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our
assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that sufficient future taxable
income will be generated in the relevant tax jurisdiction to utilize the
deferred tax asset. We review our internal forecasted sales and pre-tax earnings
estimates to make our assessment about the utilization of deferred tax assets.
In the event we determine that future taxable income will not be sufficient to
utilize the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance will be recorded. If that
assessment changes, a benefit would be recorded on the statement of operations.
Litigation
We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business and also to
certain other contingencies (see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation and
contingencies are recorded as incurred. Additionally, we assess, in consultation
with counsel, the need to record a liability for litigation and contingencies on
a case-by-case basis. Reserves are recorded when we, in consultation with
counsel, determine that a loss related to a matter is both probable and
reasonably estimable.
Self-Insurance Reserve
We are primarily self-insured for potential product liability claims on products
sold on or after September 30, 2002. We record a self-insurance reserve for each
reported claim on a case-by-case basis, plus an allowance for the estimated
future cost of incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims. In assessing the
amounts to record for each reported claim, with the assistance of counsel and
insurance consultants, we consider the nature and amount of the claim, our prior
experience with similar claims, and whether the amount expected to be paid on a
claim is both probable and reasonably estimable. In determining the allowance
for the estimated future cost of both reported and IBNR claims as of June 30,
2003, we utilized projections of our outstanding estimated losses as determined
by an independent actuary. As of June 30, 2003 we accrued $1,333 for our
estimate of potential claims and expenses. This amount is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses. The costs of the ultimate disposition of
both existing and IBNR claims may differ from these reserve amounts.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In connection with acquisitions, we determine the amounts assigned to goodwill
and other intangibles based on purchase price allocations. These allocations,
including an assessment of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, have
been performed by qualified independent appraisers using generally accepted
valuation methodologies. The valuation of intangible assets is generally based
on the estimated future cash flows related to those assets, while the value
assigned to goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value
of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Useful lives are
determined based on the expected future period of benefit of the asset, which
considers various characteristics of the asset, including projected cash flows.
As required by SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," we review
goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators
arise.
As a result of our June 2002 purchase of certain assets and the assumption of
certain liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Enhance Purchase"),
we have included $14,118 and $13,941 of goodwill on our balance sheet as of June
30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a result of the Enhance Purchase, together
with our June 2003 acquisition of four products from Wyeth, we have included
$45,949 and $28,200 as other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization,
on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND JUNE 30, 2002
Revenues -- Overview
Total revenues in fiscal 2003 were $902,864, a decrease of 24% compared to
$1,188,984 in fiscal 2002. This decrease in total revenues, which we
anticipated, was primarily due to the sharp decline in sales of our 20 mg
Fluoxetine product together with a reduction in sales of our distributed version
of Tamoxifen. Partially offsetting the decline in sales of Fluoxetine and
Tamoxifen was a 75% increase in sales of other products, led by higher sales of
our oral contraceptive products, sales from our June 2003 launch of the
distributed version of Ciprofloxacin tablets, and increased sales of our Dextro
salt combo product (the generic equivalent of Shire Richwood, Inc.'s
Adderall(R)).
31
Revenues -- Product Sales
Product sales for fiscal 2003 were $894,888, compared to $1,171,358 in the prior
year. Fluoxetine accounted for $7,245 of product sales in fiscal 2003, down from
$367,539 in fiscal 2002, while Tamoxifen accounted for $120,889 of product sales
in fiscal 2003, down from $366,314 in fiscal 2002. Sales of products other than
Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen increased 75% from $437,505 in fiscal 2002 to $766,754
in the current year.
The increase in sales of products other than Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen was
primarily attributable to increased sales of our oral contraceptive products,
for which sales nearly tripled from the prior year, to sales from the launch of
our distributed version of Ciprofloxacin tablets and to increased sales of our
Dextro salt combo product. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales
of Cenestin, as discussed below.
Sales of oral contraceptives increased $181,576 or 196% from fiscal 2002 to
fiscal 2003. The increase in sales of the oral contraceptives reflects
increasing market shares for existing products, including our Apri(R),
Aviane(TM), Kariva(TM) and Nortrel(R) products, and sales of seven new oral
contraceptive products launched during fiscal 2003.
In June 2003 we began shipping Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride pursuant to a license
from Bayer. Under a 1997 settlement of a patent challenge we initiated against
Bayer's Cipro(R) antibiotic, we purchase directly from Bayer, Ciprofloxacin
products that are manufactured under Bayer's New Drug Application for Cipro and
market them under our label. We have the non-exclusive right to distribute the
Ciprofloxacin products until Bayer's patent protecting Cipro expires in December
2003. On June 9, 2003, we began distributing Ciprofloxacin tablets pursuant to
the terms of the settlement and recorded sales of $111,379 for the period from
June 9, 2003 to June 30, 2003. We share one-half of our profits from the sale of
Ciprofloxacin, as defined, with Aventis, the contractual successor to our joint
venture partner in the Cipro patent challenge case.
We believe that Bayer intends to seek pediatric exclusivity for Cipro, which, if
granted, could delay the introduction of generic versions for six months beyond
the expiration of the patent. We are currently negotiating with Bayer to
continue distributing Ciprofloxacin products during and after Bayer's
anticipated pediatric exclusivity period for Cipro. If Bayer obtains a pediatric
exclusivity extension and we continue distributing Ciprofloxacin during that
extension period, Ciprofloxacin is expected to be our largest selling product in
fiscal 2004.
We launched our Dextro salt combo product in February 2002 as the first generic
manufacturer to enter the market. Sales of our Dextro salt combo product in
fiscal 2003 were higher than in fiscal 2002 due to the inclusion of a full-year
of sales in our fiscal 2003 results compared with approximately four months of
sales in fiscal 2002. Partially offsetting this increase were lower prices in
the current year due to the entry of competitors into the market.
Sales of Cenestin, our plant derived conjugated estrogen product, declined
approximately 17% from $41,512 in fiscal 2002 to $34,575 in fiscal 2003. The
decline in Cenestin sales was due to declining Cenestin prescriptions, which
more than offset higher prices for the product in fiscal 2003, and was
consistent with reduced sales of several prominent hormone therapy products due
to the July 9, 2002 release of the findings of the Women's Health Initiative
("WHI") study. The WHI study involved the long-term usage of estrogen and
progestin in healthy post-menopausal women. A portion of the study, which
evaluated the use of a combination of conjugated equine estrogens and the
progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate, was stopped early by the study's sponsor,
because of increased health risks which the study sponsors felt outweighed the
specified long-term benefits. The estrogen-only arm of the study is continuing.
Although Cenestin is not a combination product and was not part of the WHI
study, the findings negatively impacted nearly all hormone therapy products.
Though we experienced a decline in our Cenestin prescriptions, our decline was
not as significant as other larger products in the hormone therapy market and,
as a result, our market share has been increasing.
In August 2001, we launched our Fluoxetine 20 mg capsule with 180 days of
exclusivity as the only generic manufacturer. Sales of Fluoxetine were $367,539
for fiscal 2002, constituting approximately 31% of product sales in that year.
On January 29, 2002, our 180-day generic exclusivity period ended and, as
expected, the FDA approved several other competing Fluoxetine products. As a
result, the selling price declined dramatically and we lost market share to
competing products, causing our sales and profits from Fluoxetine to be
substantially lower than those earned during the exclusivity period. For fiscal
2003, sales of Fluoxetine accounted for less than 1% of product sales and we
expect this to be the case in fiscal 2004.
Tamoxifen sales decreased from $366,314 for fiscal 2002 to $120,889 for fiscal
2003. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, we sold our remaining
distributed Tamoxifen inventory previously purchased from AstraZeneca.
AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity for its Nolvadex(R) brand version of
Tamoxifen ended on February 20, 2003. We were unable to supply distributed
Tamoxifen to our customers after the depletion of our inventory purchased from
AstraZeneca until we launched our manufactured
32
Tamoxifen product at the expiration of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period. At that time, several other generic competitors launched Tamoxifen
products, causing the price to decline and causing us to lose market share.
Sales of our manufactured version of Tamoxifen accounted for less than $10,000
of our total Tamoxifen sales during fiscal 2003 and are expected to be less than
2% of total sales in fiscal 2004.
Revenues -- Development and Other Revenue
For fiscal 2003, development and other revenue of $7,976 includes royalty income
earned under licensing agreements with third parties, under our development
agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense for the Adenovirus vaccine, and
under our development agreement related to one of our vaginal ring products. For
fiscal 2002, development and other revenue consisted primarily of amounts
received from DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company for various development and
co-marketing agreements entered into in March 2000. The assets of DuPont have
since been acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS") and the March 2000
agreements that generated these revenues ended in April 2002. As we incurred
research and other development activity costs, we recorded such expenses as
research and development and invoiced and recorded the related revenue from BMS
as development and other revenue. We recorded revenue from these agreements of
$15,584 for fiscal 2002.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased 37% from $676,323 for fiscal 2002 to $424,099 for fiscal
2003, primarily due to lower sales of Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen. Cost of sales
includes the profit split paid to Apotex, Inc., our partner in the Fluoxetine
patent challenge, and royalties on certain other products paid to certain of our
raw material suppliers.
As a percentage of product sales, cost of sales decreased from 58% for fiscal
2002 to 47% for fiscal 2003. This decrease reflects the fact that higher margin
products constituted a larger portion of total product sales in fiscal 2003
compared to fiscal 2002. In addition, as a percentage of total product sales,
Fluoxetine, which is subject to a profit split with a partner, decreased from
fiscal 2002 to fiscal 2003, as discussed in Revenues - Product Sales above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 44% from $111,886 for
fiscal 2002 to $160,978 for fiscal 2003. The increase was primarily due to
significant costs incurred for pre-launch activities related to our extended
cycle oral contraceptive, SEASONALE(R), which we expect to launch in fiscal
2004, and increased marketing and selling expenses for Cenestin. Also
contributing to the increase were the amortization of intangible assets and
higher legal costs, including a $20,000 attorney fee made in connection with a
litigation settlement with Wyeth. Partially offsetting these increases were
somewhat lower marketing and administrative costs associated with synergies
achieved as a result of the integration of Duramed.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses increased 20% from $75,697 for fiscal 2002 to
$91,207 for fiscal 2003. The increase reflected higher headcount and development
costs in our proprietary development program, including costs associated with
our vaginal ring product, as well as increased expenditures associated with the
development of the Adenovirus Vaccine for the U.S. Department of Defense. Also
contributing to the increase was the $3,946 write off of in-process research and
development associated with our June 9, 2003 purchase from Wyeth of four
products and the product rights to an oral contraceptive in development.
Research and development expenses for fiscal 2002 included a write off of
in-process research and development of $1,000 associated with the acquisition of
certain assets and liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Merger-Related Costs
Merger-related costs in the prior year included direct transaction costs related
to our merger with Duramed in October 2001 and include costs such as legal and
accounting costs, costs associated with facility and product rationalization and
severance costs. (See Notes 3 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)
Proceeds from Patent Challenge Settlement
Under the terms of the contingent supply agreement we entered into with Bayer to
settle our patent challenge litigation regarding its Cipro antibiotic, Bayer had
the option to either supply us with Ciprofloxacin at a predetermined discount
for resale or make quarterly cash payments to us. Until June 9, 2003, Bayer
elected to make payments to us rather than supply us with Ciprofloxacin.
Accordingly, we have recognized proceeds from patent challenge settlement of
$31,958 for fiscal 2002 and $31,396
33
for fiscal 2003. Fiscal 2003 was the last year we recognized proceeds from
the Cipro patent challenge.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased 19% from $7,824 for fiscal 2002 to $6,341 for fiscal
2003, primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 58% from $3,530 for fiscal 2002 to $1,474 for fiscal
2003, primarily due to an 11% decrease in our debt balances due to scheduled
debt repayments combined with lower market interest rates on our adjustable rate
borrowings.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other income of $7,656 for fiscal 2002 included $5,600 received in restructuring
the product development and co-marketing agreements entered into with BMS in
March 2000 and $2,000 received in settlement of litigation. There were no such
items in fiscal 2003.
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision for fiscal 2003 reflected a 36% effective tax rate on
pre-tax income, compared to 37% for fiscal 2002. The decrease in the effective
tax rate for fiscal 2003 was due primarily to the increase in certain tax
credits, the recognition of a deferred tax asset resulting from the
identification of additional deductible state operating losses incurred in prior
years and the reversal of certain valuation allowances previously established by
Duramed.
COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND JUNE 30, 2001
Total revenues increased 100% from $593,151 in fiscal 2001 to $1,188,984 in
fiscal 2002 driven by increased product sales. Increased product sales were due
mainly to new product launches in fiscal 2002, including Fluoxetine, our Dextro
salt combo product, new oral contraceptive products and increased sales of our
Tamoxifen product.
Revenues-Product Sales
In August 2001, we launched our Fluoxetine 20 mg capsule, the generic equivalent
of Eli Lilly's Prozac(R). Sales of Fluoxetine were $367,539, or 31% of product
sales in fiscal 2002. On January 29, 2002, our 180-day generic exclusivity
period on the Fluoxetine 20 mg capsules ended and, as expected, the FDA approved
several other generic versions. As a result, the selling price declined
dramatically and we lost market share to competing products causing our sales
and profits from Fluoxetine to be substantially lower than those earned during
the exclusivity period.
Sales of products other than Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen increased 72% from
$254,338 in fiscal 2001 to $437,505 in fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily
attributable to new product launches, including our Dextro salt combo product,
and increased sales of our oral contraceptive products. The year-over-year
increase in the oral contraceptive franchise reflected higher sales of existing
oral contraceptives, including our Apri and Aviane products, combined with sales
of our new oral contraceptive products, primarily Kariva, our generic equivalent
to Organon, Inc.'s Mircette. Also contributing to the increase was a 178% or
$26,570 year-over-year increase in sales of Cenestin. The increases described
above were driven primarily by higher volumes due to increased market shares.
Tamoxifen sales increased 14% from $322,318 in fiscal 2001 to $366,314 in fiscal
2002. The increase reflected an approximately 4.5% price increase combined with
higher volumes. During fiscal 2002, the increase in Tamoxifen volume appeared to
reflect the timing of customer purchases rather than being driven primarily by
increases in market size or market share. In fiscal 2002, Tamoxifen accounted
for 31% of product sales versus 56% in fiscal 2001.
Revenues-Development and Other Revenue
Development and other revenue consist primarily of amounts received from DuPont
Pharmaceuticals Company for various development and co-marketing agreements
entered into in March 2000. DuPont has since been acquired by BMS and the March
2000 agreements that generated these revenues terminated in April 2002 (see Note
4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As
34
we incurred research and other development activity costs, we recorded such
expenses as research and development and invoiced and recorded the related
revenue from BMS as development and other revenue. We recorded revenue from
these agreements of $15,584 in fiscal 2002 compared to $17,570 in fiscal 2001.
The revenues ended in fiscal 2002. For fiscal 2002, development and other
revenue also included royalty income earned under licensing agreements with
other third parties, our development agreement with the U.S. Department of
Defense, and our development agreement related to one of our vaginal ring
products.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 73% from $391,109 in fiscal 2001 to $676,323 in fiscal
2002 due mainly to an increase in product sales. Cost of sales included the
profit split paid to Apotex, Inc., our partner in the Fluoxetine patent
challenge, and royalties on certain other products paid to certain of our raw
material suppliers. As a percentage of product sales, cost of sales decreased
from 68% in fiscal 2001 to 58% in fiscal 2002. The decrease in cost of sales as
a percentage of product sales was due to an improved mix in product sales, as
higher margin products such as Fluoxetine, our Dextro salt combo product, oral
contraceptive products and Cenestin, made up a larger percentage of sales. Lower
margin products such as Tamoxifen made up a smaller percentage of sales.
Tamoxifen's margin was substantially lower than the margin we generally earn on
products we manufacture because we only distributed the product, as described
above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 46% from $76,821 in
fiscal 2001 to $111,886 in fiscal 2002. The increase was primarily due to higher
marketing and selling expenses for Cenestin under our sales and marketing
agreement with Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which we terminated as of June 30,
2002; increased legal costs, which include costs associated with patent
challenge activity, class action lawsuits and other matters; and increased
headcount costs and higher advertising and promotion costs associated with our
expanding product line.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased 31% from $57,617 in fiscal 2001 to
$75,697 in fiscal 2002. The increase reflected higher costs associated with our
proprietary development program, and higher biostudy and headcount costs related
to our expanded generic activities. The fiscal 2002 amount also includes a
$1,000 charge for the write-off of acquired in-process research and development
resulting from our June 2002 acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of
Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Merger-Related Costs
Merger-related costs were $31,449 in fiscal 2002. These costs related to our
merger with Duramed in October 2001 and included direct transaction costs such
as legal and accounting costs, costs associated with facility and product
rationalization and severance costs. (See Notes 3 and 19 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.)
Proceeds from Patent Challenge Settlement
Proceeds from patent challenge settlement represents amounts earned under the
terms of the supply agreement entered into with Bayer to settle our patent
challenge litigation regarding Bayer's Cipro antibiotic. Under the terms of the
supply agreement, Bayer, at its option, could either allow us to purchase
Ciprofloxacin from Bayer at a predetermined discount or make quarterly cash
payments to us. Until June 9, 2003, Bayer elected to make payments to us rather
than supply us with Ciprofloxacin. Accordingly, we recognized proceeds from
patent challenge settlement of $28,313 and $31,958 in fiscal 2001 and fiscal
2002, respectively.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased 17% from $9,423 in fiscal 2001 to $7,824 in fiscal
2002, primarily due to a decrease in market rates on our short-term investments,
which was partially offset by an increase in the average cash and cash
equivalents balance and marketable securities balance.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased 51% from $7,195 in fiscal 2001 to $3,530 in fiscal
2002, primarily due to a decrease in our debt balances, and a decrease in the
rates we pay on our debt balances.
35
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other income increased by 110% from $3,648 in fiscal 2001 to $7,656 in fiscal
2002. Other income in fiscal 2002 included $5,600 received as part of the
restructuring of the agreements with BMS and the receipt of $2,000 in settlement
of litigation. Other income in fiscal 2001 included a $6,659 gain realized on
the sale of our investment in Galen Holdings plc, partially offset by a $2,450
charge related to the write-off of our investment in Gynetics, Inc.
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2002 reflected a 37%
effective tax rate on pre-tax income, compared to 38% for the year ended June
30, 2001. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a
favorable mix in income among tax jurisdictions in fiscal 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased $35,885 or 11% from $331,257 at
June 30, 2002 to $367,142 at June 30, 2003. In connection with the termination
of an alternative collateral agreement between us and AstraZeneca, the innovator
of Tamoxifen (See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), we reduced
the cash held in our interest-bearing escrow account from $84,834 at June 30,
2002 to $0 at June 30, 2003. In addition, our marketable securities increased
$28,953 from $15,502 at June 30, 2002 to $44,455 at June 30, 2003. Our primary
source of cash is funds from operations, and our primary uses of cash are for
operating expenses and capital expenditures.
The increase in cash from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003 was driven by $160,328
in cash provided by operations in fiscal 2003 which more than offset significant
fiscal 2003 cash outlays to expand plant and equipment (approximately $80,617),
acquire four proprietary products from Wyeth (approximately $25,992) and
purchase marketable securities (approximately $29,400).
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $160,328 for the year ended June 30,
2003, driven by net earnings of $167,566, which more than offset an increase in
working capital. Working capital, defined as current assets (excluding cash and
cash equivalents) less current liabilities, increased by $79,439 as increases in
accounts receivable and inventories more than offset increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. The $118,484 increase in accounts receivable is
primarily attributable to sales of the distributed version of Ciprofloxacin,
which we launched in early June 2003. The $12,793 increase in inventories is due
to decreased purchases of Tamoxifen which were more than offset by increased
purchases of raw materials for products we expect to launch in fiscal 2004 and
purchases of Ciprofloxacin. The $77,973 increase in accounts payable is
primarily due to the amounts due to Bayer for purchases of Ciprofloxacin.
Accrued liabilities increased $14,671 from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003,
primarily due to amounts owed under royalty agreements related to products
launched during fiscal 2003 and an increase in deferred revenues recorded for
amounts reimbursed under our contract with the U.S. Department of Defense for
the construction of a dedicated facility for the manufacture of the Adenovirus
vaccine.
Approximately $24,438 of our fiscal 2003 cash flows from operations related to
payments from our contingent non-exclusive supply agreement with Bayer related
to our Ciprofloxacin patent challenge. We have recorded $25,688 in other
receivables for the proceeds from patent challenges we recognized prior to June
2003. We expect to collect these amounts in the first-half of fiscal 2004.
Cash flow increased by approximately $10,500 due to the reduction in federal
income taxes payable resulting from the utilization of a portion of Duramed's
federal net operating losses incurred before the merger. We expect cash flows in
fiscal 2004 to be favorably affected by approximately $10,500 as a result of the
continued utilization of Duramed's federal net operating loss. The annual
limitation on the amount of the pre-merger net operating loss that may be
deducted is governed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Investing Activities
During fiscal 2002, we initiated a multi-year capital expansion program to
increase our production, laboratory, warehouse and distribution capacity in
Virginia and Cincinnati. In addition to continuing these programs in fiscal
2003, we also continued to add and upgrade equipment in all of our locations and
renovated our new administrative offices. These capital programs are designed to
help ensure that we have the facilities necessary to meet the expected future
growth of the Company.
36
During fiscal 2003, we invested $80,617 in capital expenditures and expect our
capital expansion program will continue at a level of between $50,000 and
$90,000 annually for the next few years. This estimate includes substantially
completing the multi-year capital expansion programs noted above, completing the
construction of a dedicated facility for the manufacture of the Adenovirus
vaccine, the cost of which is being reimbursed by the Federal government, and
for completing the renovation of our new administrative offices.
While we believe we have the cash resources to fund the capital spending
described above from cash derived from operations, given the large scale and
extended nature of some of the planned expenditures, we may consider financing a
portion of our projects. We believe we have the capital structure and cash flow
to complete any such financing.
In fiscal 2002, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan
Agreement") with Natural Biologics, the raw material supplier for our
equine-based generic conjugated estrogens product for which we filed an ANDA
with the FDA in June 2003. We believe that the raw material is pharmaceutically
equivalent to raw material used to produce Wyeth's Premarin(R). Natural
Biologics is a defendant in litigation brought by Wyeth alleging that Natural
Biologics misappropriated certain Wyeth trade secrets with respect to the
preparation of this raw material. This case was tried in November 2002, and a
decision may be rendered by the trial court at any time. An unfavorable decision
for Natural Biologics could materially and adversely affect Natural Biologics'
ability to repay the loans we have made to it. If that were to be the case, we
may be required to write off all or a portion of the loans made to Natural
Biologics. As of June 30, 2003, our outstanding loan to Natural Biologics
totaled approximately $14,408, including accrued interest, which we have
included on our balance sheet in other assets.
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, absent the occurrence of a material
adverse event (including an unfavorable court decision in the Wyeth matter), we
could loan Natural Biologics up to $35,000 over a three-year period, including
$8,300 and $2,800 during fiscal 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Loan Agreement
also provides for a loan of $10,000 based upon the successful outcome of the
pending legal proceeding between Wyeth and Natural Biologics, as discussed
above. The loans mature on June 3, 2007.
In fiscal 2002, we also entered into a Development, Manufacturing and
Distribution Agreement with Natural Biologics which could obligate us to make
milestone payments totaling an additional $35,000 to Natural Biologics based on
achieving certain legal and product approval milestones, including the approval
of a generic product.
As of June 30, 2003, we have invested $44,400 in market auction debt securities,
which are readily convertible into cash at par value, with maturity dates
ranging from July 21, 2003 to July 13, 2004. We may continue to invest in
extended maturity securities based on operating needs and strategic
opportunities.
On June 9, 2003, we purchased the rights to four products from Wyeth and entered
into a license and sublicense agreement for an oral contraceptive product in
development, for initial cash consideration of $25,992 and an agreement for
future royalty payments based on our future sales of the products. We also
entered into an interim supply agreement with Wyeth in relation to these
products, which will terminate as to certain portions of the agreement on
various dates over the next two fiscal years. The entire purchase price was
allocated to the marketed products and the product in development. No value was
assigned to the supply agreement for the acquired products as the product
purchase prices under the agreement approximate the price the Company would
expect to pay third-party contract manufacturers. The products will be amortized
over a weighted-average useful life of 8.75 years. We allocated $3,946 to the
product in development and expensed it as acquired in-process research and
development upon acquisition because technological feasibility, through FDA or
comparable regulatory body approval, had not been established and the projects
had no alternative future use.
Financing Activities
Debt balances decreased by approximately $5,434 during fiscal 2003 due to debt
repayments. Scheduled principal repayments on our existing debt will be
approximately $8,510 in fiscal 2004. We have a $40,000 revolving credit facility
that expires on February 27, 2005. We currently have approximately $29,312
available under this facility, with the balance of the facility committed as a
$10,688 letter of credit in support of our finite risk insurance arrangement
described below.
There are warrants outstanding to purchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock
that expire in March 2004. The warrants were granted in 2000 as part of a
strategic transaction with BMS. The exercise price for all such warrants is
substantially below the current market price of our common stock. As such, we
would anticipate that all or substantially all of these warrants will be
exercised prior to their expiration. Warrants for approximately 1,125,000 shares
have a "cashless" exercise feature, meaning the warrants could be exercised
without cash payments to us by reducing the number of shares issued to the
exercising holder (with such reduced number of shares based on the aggregate
exercise price for the warrants). Warrants for the remaining 1,125,000 shares
37
require cash payments for their exercise. If exercised in full, and based on
current stock price levels, these warrants could provide cash proceeds of
approximately $26,000 and a tax benefit of approximately $17,000.
Product Liability Insurance
Due to the significant increase in the cost of traditional product liability
insurance, on September 30, 2002 we entered into a finite risk insurance
arrangement (the "Arrangement") with a third party insurer. We believe that the
Arrangement is an effective way to insure against a portion of potential product
liability claims. In exchange for $15,000 in product liability coverage for
certain products over a five-year term, the Arrangement provides for us to pay
approximately $14,250 in four equal annual installments of $3,563, with the
first installment having been made in October 2002. At any six-month interval,
we may, at our option, cancel the Arrangement. In addition, at the earlier of
termination or expiry, we are eligible for a return of all amounts paid to the
insurer, less the insurer's margin and amounts for any incurred claims. We are
recording the payments, net of the insurer's margin, as deposits included in
other assets.
We continue to be self-insured for potential product liability claims between
$15,000 and $25,000. We have purchased additional coverage from an insurance
carrier that will offer coverage for claims between $25,000 and $50,000, subject
to a $10,000 limitation on some of our products and an exclusion on others.
Simultaneously with entering into our finite policy, we exercised the extended
reporting period under our previous insurance policy that provides $10,000 of
product liability coverage for an unlimited duration for product liability
claims on products sold from September 10, 1987 to September 30, 2002.
Additionally, in connection with our merger with Duramed, we purchased a
supplemental extended reporting policy under Duramed's prior insurance policy
that provides $10,000 of product liability coverage for an unlimited duration
for product liability claims on products sold by Duramed between October 1, 1985
and October 24, 2001.
We are currently named as a defendant in several outstanding product liability
claims. We have never been held liable for, or agreed to pay, a significant
product liability claim. However, if we incur defense costs and liabilities in
excess of our self-insurance reserve that are not otherwise covered by
insurance, it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Strategic Transactions
To expand our business opportunities, we have increased our business development
activities and continue to evaluate and enter into various strategic
collaborations or acquisitions. The costs to evaluate these opportunities may be
significant even if no agreement is entered into and the amount of cash required
to enter into these collaborations as well as ongoing cash milestone payments
may be significant but cannot be predicted.
We believe that our current cash balances, cash flows from operations and
borrowing capacity, including unused amounts under our $40,000 revolving credit
facility, will be adequate to fund our operations and to capitalize on certain
strategic opportunities as they arise. To the extent that additional capital
resources are required, we believe that such capital may be raised by additional
bank borrowings, debt or equity offerings or other means.
Merger-Related Costs
On October 24, 2001 we completed our merger with Duramed. In connection with the
transaction, we incurred approximately $31,449 in direct transaction costs such
as legal and accounting costs, costs associated with facility and product
rationalization and severance costs. As of June 30, 2002, all of the direct
transaction costs and involuntary termination benefits had been paid and charged
against the liability leaving a remaining liability of approximately $1,600, of
which $700 related to severance and change in control payments and $900 related
to facility costs. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining liability balance of
approximately $700 relates to facility costs.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases
in the normal course of business.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 supercedes APB opinion No. 17, "Intangible
Assets." Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are no
longer amortized but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if
impairment indicators arise. The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001.
We adopted SFAS 142 on July 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires goodwill to be tested for
impairment annually using a two-step process to determine the amount of
impairment, if any, which is then written-off. The first step is to identify
potential impairment, which is measured as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
To accomplish this, we identified our reporting units and determined the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and other intangible assets, to those reporting
units. Under SFAS 142, to the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds
its fair value, the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2003, we completed the first step of this process and
determined there was no indication of goodwill impairment.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). This statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from
the acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal operation of a
long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. The standard
requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period incurred with a corresponding increase in
the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is
accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the
liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or
incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. We adopted
SFAS 143 effective as of July 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). This statement addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets. This statement
supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." This statement also
amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the
exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be
temporary. This statement requires that one accounting model be used for
long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously held and used or
newly acquired. This statement also broadens the presentation of discontinued
operations to include more disposal transactions. This statement is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
We adopted SFAS 144 effective as of July 1, 2002, and any future impairments or
disposals of long-lived assets will be subject to the provisions of this
statement.
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.
13, and Technical Corrections
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections"
("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS 64,
"Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements." SFAS 145
also rescinds SFAS 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers."
SFAS 145 amends SFAS 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency
between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. SFAS 145 also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after
39
May 15, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS 145 in July 2002, we reclassified the loss
on early extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in
the year ended June 30, 2002.
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities
and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the
liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity commits to an exit plan
under EITF 94-3. This statement is effective for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002. We adopted SFAS 146 effective January 1, 2003
and have considered it in any actions involving exit or disposal costs initiated
after that date. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, An Amendment of FASB Statement No.
123" ("SFAS 148"). This statement provides alternative methods of transition for
a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements
of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent disclosures, in both interim and
annual financial statements, about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect the method used has on reported results.
The provisions of SFAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December
15, 2002 and the interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial
reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2002. We will continue to account for stock-based compensation
using the intrinsic value method and have adopted the disclosure requirements
prescribed by SFAS 148 as of March 31, 2003. The additional required disclosures
have been provided in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 149"), which is generally
effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for
hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149 clarifies under
what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the
characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133, clarifies when a
derivative contains a financing component, amends the definition of an
"underlying" to conform it to the language used in FASB Interpretation No. 45,
"Guarantor Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others," and amends certain other
existing pronouncements. We currently have no derivative financial instruments,
and therefore we do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 149 will have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150").
SFAS 150 modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under
previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS 150 requires that
those instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial
position and affects an issuer's accounting for (1) mandatorily redeemable
shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash
or other assets, (2) instruments, other than outstanding shares, that do or may
require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other
assets, or (3) obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value
of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market
index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuer's shares. In addition to
its requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments
within its scope, SFAS 150 also requires disclosures about alternative ways of
settling those instruments and the capital structure of entities, all of whose
shares are mandatorily redeemable. SFAS 150 is effective for financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 150 will not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
40
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, Interpretation of FASB Statement Nos. 5, 57 and 107 and
Rescission of FIN 34" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No.
5, "Accounting for Contingencies," relating to the guarantor's accounting for,
and disclosure of, the issuance of certain types of guarantees. FIN 45 requires
that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a liability for the
fair value of the obligation it assumes under the guarantee. The disclosure
provisions of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual
periods that end after December 15, 2002, while the initial recognition and
measurement provisions are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that
are issued or modified after December 31, 2002. We adopted the disclosure and
initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 effective for our
periods ended December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, respectively. Our adoption
of FIN 45 has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46, "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities - An Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). In general, a
variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other
legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity
investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide
sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46
requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company (known as
the "primary beneficiary"), if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive
a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created
after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to variable
interest entities that existed as of January 31, 2003, in the first fiscal year
or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FIN 46 also requires certain
disclosures by all holders of a significant variable interest in a variable
interest entity that are not the primary beneficiary. We do not have any
material investments in variable interest entities, and therefore, the adoption
of FIN 46 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We may have obligations for environmental safety and clean-up under various
state, local and federal laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund. Based on
information currently available, environmental expenditures have not had, and
are not anticipated to have, any material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Inflation has had only a minimal impact on our operations in recent years.
ITEM 7a. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposure to market risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to
our investment portfolio of approximately $411,597 and debt instruments of
approximately $42,537. We do not use derivative financial instruments.
Our investment portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents and market
auction debt securities classified as "available for sale." The primary
objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the
same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve
this objective, we maintain our portfolio in a variety of high credit quality
debt securities, including U.S. government and corporate obligations,
certificates of deposit and money market funds. Ninety percent of our portfolio
matures in less than three months. The carrying value of the investment
portfolio approximates the market value at June 30, 2003 and the value at
maturity. Because our investments consist of cash equivalents and market auction
debt securities, a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates is not
likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Approximately 65% of our debt instruments at June 30, 2003 are subject to fixed
interest rates and principal payments. The related note purchase agreements
permit us to prepay these notes prior to their scheduled maturity, but may
require us to pay a prepayment fee based on market rates at the time of
prepayment and the note rates. The remaining 35% of debt instruments are
primarily subject
41
to variable interest rates based on the prime rate or LIBOR and have fixed
principal payments. The fair value of all debt instruments is approximately
$40,000 at June 30, 2003. In addition, borrowings under our $40,000 unsecured
revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") with Bank of America, N.A., bear
interest at a variable rate based on the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate or
LIBOR. As of June 30, 2003, there was approximately $29,312 available under this
facility due to the issuance of a $10,688 letter of credit in support of our
finite risk insurance program. We do not believe that any market risk inherent
in our debt instruments is likely to have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
As discussed in Note 12 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, as of June 30, 2003, we had approximately $14,800 of variable rate
debt outstanding. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates,
based on the June 30, 2003 balance, would reduce our annual net income by
approximately $93. Any future gains or losses may differ materially from this
hypothetical amount based on the timing and amount of actual interest rate
changes and the actual term loan balance.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Our financial statements are filed together with this Form 10-K. See the Index
to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules on page F-1 for a
list of the financial statements filed together with this Form 10-K.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs
and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can
provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.
At the conclusion of the period ended June 30, 2003, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information
relating to Barr and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in
this report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
Subsequent to the date of their evaluation as described above, there have not
been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls. No significant deficiencies or
material weaknesses have been identified.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Barr Laboratories, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Barr
Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2003 and
2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2003. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed at Item
15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the
merger of the Company and Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Duramed"), which has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements. We did not audit the financial statements of
Duramed for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 or the year ended December
31, 2000, which statements reflect total assets of $136,587,000 and $81,966,000
as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively, and total revenues of
$59,831,000 and $83,465,000 for the respective periods then ended. The financial
statements of Duramed for such period were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Duramed for such periods, is based solely on the report of
such other auditors. The financial statements of Duramed were combined with the
financial statements of the Company as described in Note 1. Certain accounts of
Duramed were reclassified to conform to the presentation method used by the
Company and restated to give effect to pooling of interest adjustments of
Duramed's tax valuation allowance in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No.
109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, such
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Barr Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2003
and 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our
opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
We also audited the adjustments described in Note 3 that were applied to restate
the June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 financial statements of Duramed. In our
opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.

BARR LABORATORIES, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation and Other Matters
Barr Laboratories, Inc., a New York corporation, is a
specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the development,
manufacture, and marketing of generic and proprietary
pharmaceutical products primarily in the United States. The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barr
Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the
"Company" or "Barr"). The Company, when used in the context of
"the Company and Duramed," refers to pre-merger Barr. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Sherman Delaware, Inc. owned approximately 16% of the
outstanding common stock of the Company at June 30, 2003. Dr.
Bernard C. Sherman is a principal stockholder of Sherman
Delaware, Inc. and was a Director of Barr Laboratories, Inc.
until October 24, 2002 (see Note 14).
On October 24, 2001, the Company completed a merger with
Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Duramed"), a developer,
manufacturer, and marketer of prescription drug products
focusing on women's health and the hormone therapy markets.
The merger qualified as a tax-free reorganization and was
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests for financial
reporting purposes. Accordingly, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and pursuant to Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, all financial data of the Company
presented in these financial statements has been restated as
described below to include the historical financial data of
Duramed (see Note 3).
The Company and Duramed had different fiscal year-ends.
Duramed had a calendar year-end, whereas the Company's fiscal
year ends on June 30th. Financial information for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2002 is presented as if the Company and
Duramed were merged on July 1, 2001. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001, financial information for Barr's fiscal year
ended June 30th was combined with financial information for
Duramed's calendar year ended December 31st. Barr's
consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2001 was combined with Duramed's statement of
operations for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000.
Barr's statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2001 was combined with Duramed's statement of cash flows
for the calendar year ended December 31, 2000.
This presentation of the combined financial information
described above has the effect of excluding Duramed's audited
results from operations for the six-month period ended June
30, 2001. Net revenues and net income for Duramed for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 were $59,831 and $49,038,
respectively. On a stand alone basis, Duramed's net income of
$49,038 reflects the benefit of reversing $44,755 of the
valuation allowance that Duramed previously established to
offset certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance
was reversed based on the expectation that, as a result of the
merger, the combined company would be able to utilize a
majority of these deferred tax assets (see Note 3). In
addition, from July 1, 2001 through October 24, 2001, the date
of the merger, Duramed reversed an additional $1,732 of
valuation allowance, bringing the total valuation allowance
reversals to $46,487. In accordance with SFAS 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes", Duramed's net earnings of $49,038 less the
$46,487 reversal of valuation allowance, or $2,551, has been
reported as an increase to Barr's retained earnings within the
consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the year
ended June 30, 2002. Duramed's cash flows (used in) provided
by operating, investing and financing activities for the
six-months ended June 30, 2001 were ($208), ($1,446), and
$1,654, respectively.
On June 6, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of certain
assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Enhance
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Enhance"). The operating results of
Enhance are included in the consolidated financial statements
subsequent to the June 6, 2002 acquisition date.
F-9
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.
(b) Credit and Market Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing
investments, trade receivables and a loan receivable from
Natural Biologics. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations of its customers' financial condition and
generally does not require collateral from its customers.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid
investments including market auction debt securities with
maturities of three months or less and with interest rates
that are re-set in intervals of 7 to 49 days, which are
readily convertible into cash at par value, which approximates
cost.
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, $0 and $84,834, respectively, of
the Company's cash was held in an interest bearing escrow
account. Such amounts represented the portion of the Company's
payable balance with AstraZeneca that the Company had decided
to secure in connection with its cash management policy. On
August 21, 2002, the Company's supply agreement with
AstraZeneca expired.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a
first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or market. The Company
establishes reserves for its inventory to reflect situations
in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be
recovered. The Company regularly reviews its inventory,
including when product is close to expiration and is not
expected to be sold, when product has reached its expiration
date, or when product is not expected to be saleable based on
the Company's quality assurance and control standards. The
reserve for these products is equal to all or a portion of the
cost of the inventory based on the specific facts and
circumstances. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at
the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors
as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to
sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and current and
expected market conditions, including levels of competition.
The Company monitors inventory levels, expiry dates and market
conditions on a regular basis. The Company records provisions
for inventory reserves as part of cost of sales.
(e) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost.
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization of
capital lease assets is included in depreciation expense.
Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the
respective leases.
The estimated useful lives of the major classification of
depreciable assets are:
Years
-----
Buildings 30-45
Building improvements 10
Machinery and equipment 3-10
Leasehold improvements 2-1
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred;
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(f) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In connection with acquisitions, the Company determines the
amounts assigned to goodwill and intangibles based on purchase
price allocations. These allocations, including an assessment
of the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, have been
performed by qualified independent appraisers using generally
accepted valuation methodologies. The valuation of intangible
assets is generally based on the estimated future cash flows
related to
F-10
those assets, while the value assigned to goodwill is the
residual of the purchase price over the fair value of all
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Useful
lives are determined based on the expected future period of
benefit of the asset, which considers various characteristics
of the asset, including historical cash flows. As required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company reviews
goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if
impairment indicators arise.
(g) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans,
two stock-based non-employee director compensation plans and
an employee stock purchase plan, which are described more
fully in Note 16. The Company accounts for these plans under
the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," and related Interpretations. Under the intrinsic
value method, no stock-based employee compensation cost is
reflected in net income. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based
employee compensation.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
2003 2002 2001

The pro forma results for fiscal 2002 reflect the accelerated
vesting of options as a result of the merger with Duramed as
described in Note 3.
For all plans, the fair value of each option grant was
estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option
Pricing Model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,
2003 2002 2001
---------- ------------ ----------
Average expected term (years) 4 3 3
Risk-free interest rate 2.29% 3.62% 5.25%

Volatility 53.73% 46.96% 51.30%
Fair value of options granted
at market $ 15.77 $ 17.11 $ 13.66
F-11
The weighted-average fair value of the options granted in
fiscal 2001, which were below the current market price on the
date of grant, was $28.01 per share.
(h) Research and Development
Research and development costs, which consist principally of
product development costs, are charged to operations as
incurred.
(i) Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs, which approximated $1,591, $1,533
and $678 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were
included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
(j) Stock Split
On February 18, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors
declared a 3-for-2 stock split effected in the form of a 50%
stock dividend. Approximately 22.2 million additional shares
of common stock were distributed on March 17, 2003 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on February
28, 2003. All applicable prior year share and per share
amounts have been adjusted for the stock split.
(k) Earnings Per Share
As discussed above, on October 24, 2001, the Company completed
a merger with Duramed where the Company issued approximately
11.25 million shares of its common stock for all the
outstanding common stock of Duramed and exchanged all options
and warrants to purchase Duramed stock for options and
warrants to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of the
Company's common stock.
All applicable prior year share and per share amounts have
been adjusted for the merger.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and
denominators used to calculate earnings per common share
("EPS") as presented in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations:
(in thousands except
per share amounts) 2003 2002 2001
---------- ------------ ----------
Net earnings $ 167,566 $ 212,219 $ 63,079

F-12
(l) Deferred Financing Fees
All debt issuance costs are being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the related debt, which matures in
2004, 2007 and 2010. Warrant issuance costs are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the
related warrants. The total unamortized amounts of $310 and
$454 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in
other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(m) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash, Accounts Receivable, Other Receivables and Accounts
Payable - The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable
estimate of their fair value.
Marketable Securities - Marketable securities are recorded at
their fair value (see Note 8).
Other Assets - Investments that do not have a readily
determinable market value are recorded at cost, as it is a
reasonable estimate of fair value or current realizable value.
Long-Term Debt - The fair value at June 30, 2003 and 2002 is
estimated at $40,000 and $43,000, respectively (see Note 12
for carrying value). Estimates were determined by discounting
the future cash flows using rates currently available to the
Company.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on
pertinent information available to management as of June 30,
2003. Although management is not aware of any factors that
would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts,
such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for
purposes of these financial statements since that date, and
current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from
the amounts presented herein.
(n) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and use
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The most significant estimates made by management include
those made in the areas of sales returns and allowances,
including shelf stock adjustments; inventory reserves;
deferred taxes; litigation; self-insurance reserves; and the
assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and other
intangible assets.
Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements for
continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to
the estimates used are made prospectively based on such
periodic evaluations.
(o) Self-Insurance Reserve
The Company is primarily self-insured for potential product
liability claims on products sold on or after September 30,
2002. The Company records a self-insurance reserve for each
reported claim on a case-by-case basis, plus an allowance for
the estimated future cost of incurred but not reported
("IBNR") claims. In assessing the amounts to record for each
reported claim, with the assistance of its counsel and
insurance consultants, the Company considers the nature and
amount of the claim, its prior experience with similar claims,
and whether the amount expected to be paid on a claim is both
probable and reasonably estimable. In determining the
allowance for the estimated future cost of both reported and
IBNR claims as of June 30, 2003, the Company utilized
projections of its outstanding estimated losses as determined
by an independent actuary. As of June 30, 2003, the Company
had recorded self-insurance reserves and related expenses of
$1,333 in accrued liabilities and selling, general and
administrative expenses. The costs of the ultimate disposition
of both existing and IBNR claims may differ from this reserve
amount.
F-13
(p) Litigation
The Company is subject to litigation in the ordinary course of
business and also to certain other contingencies (see Note
21). Legal fees and other expenses related to litigation and
contingencies are recorded as incurred. Additionally, the
Company, in consultation with its counsel, assesses the need
to record a liability for litigation and contingencies on a
case-by-case basis. Accruals are recorded when the Company
determines that a loss related to a matter is both probable
and reasonably estimable.
(q) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is
provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that are
"more-likely-than-not" to be unrealized. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.
(r) Revenue Recognition
Product sales
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when title and
risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated
provisions for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and other
sales allowances are reasonably determinable, and when
collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these
provisions are presented in the consolidated financial
statements as reductions to revenues. Accounts receivable are
presented net of allowances relating to the above provisions
of $136,059 and $93,789 at June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Development and other revenue
The Company recognizes revenues under research and development
agreements as it performs the related research and
development. Amounts Barr receives under these agreements are
not refundable. For the year ended June 30, 2001, development
and other revenue included $562 related to transition revenues
under the ViaSpan Agreement (see Note 4).
(s) Advertising and Promotion Costs
Costs associated with advertising and promotion expenses are
expensed in the period in which the advertising is first used
and these costs are included in selling, general and
administrative expenses. Advertising and promotion expenses
totaled approximately $21,377, $4,678, and $2,749 for the
years ending June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
(t) Sales Returns and Allowances
At the time of sale, the Company records estimates for various
costs, which reduce product sales. These costs include
estimates for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and other
sales allowances. In addition, the Company may record
allowances for shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are
appropriate. Estimates for sales allowances such as product
returns, rebates and chargebacks are based on a variety of
factors including actual return experience of that product or
similar products, rebate arrangements for each product, and
estimated sales by our wholesale customers to other third
parties who have contracts with Barr. Actual experience
associated with any of these items may be different than the
Company's estimates. Barr regularly reviews the factors that
influence its estimates and, if necessary, makes adjustments
when it believes that actual product returns, credits and
other allowances may differ from established reserves.
The Company often issues credits to customers for inventory
remaining on their shelves following a decrease in the market
price of a generic pharmaceutical product. These credits,
commonly referred to in the pharmaceutical industry as
"shelf-stock adjustments," can then be used by customers to
offset future amounts owing to the Company under invoices for
future product deliveries. The shelf-stock adjustment is
intended to
F-14
reduce a customer's inventory cost to better reflect current
market prices and is often used by the Company to maintain its
long-term customer relationships. The determination to grant a
shelf-stock credit to a customer following a price decrease is
usually at the Company's discretion rather than contractually
required. Allowances for shelf-stock adjustments are recorded
at the time Barr sells products it believes will be subject to
a price decrease or when market conditions indicate that a
shelf-stock adjustment is necessary to facilitate the
sell-through of its product. When determining whether to
record a shelf-stock adjustment and the amount of any such
adjustment, the Company analyzes several variables including
the estimated launch dates of a competing product, the
estimated decline in market price and estimated levels of
inventory held by the customer at the time of the decrease in
market price. As a result, a shelf-stock reserve depends on a
product's unique facts and circumstances. Barr regularly
monitors these and other factors for its significant products
and evaluates its reserves and estimates as additional
information becomes available.
(u) Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one segment - the development,
manufacture and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The
Company's chief operating decision-maker reviews operating
results on a consolidated company basis.
The Company's manufacturing plants are located in New Jersey,
New York, Ohio and Virginia and its products are sold
primarily in the United States to wholesale and retail
distributors. In fiscal 2003, four customers accounted for
at least 10% of product sales with 21%, 17%, 13% and 10%,
respectively. In fiscal 2002, three customers accounted for
at least 10% of product sales with 18%, 13% and 12% of sales.
In fiscal 2001, a single customer accounted for approximately
14% of product sales.
(v) Asset Impairment
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-term assets
for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the
estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use
and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected
future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an
impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets.
(w) New Accounting Pronouncements
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 supercedes APB
opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." Under SFAS 142, goodwill
and indefinite lived intangible assets are no longer amortized
but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently
if impairment indicators arise. The provisions of SFAS 142 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The Company adopted SFAS 142 on July 1, 2002. SFAS 142
requires goodwill to be tested for impairment annually using a
two-step process to determine the amount of impairment, if
any, which is then written-off. The first step is to identify
potential impairment, which is measured as of the beginning of
the fiscal year. To accomplish this, the Company identified
its reporting units and determined the carrying value of each
reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to
those reporting units. Under the first step of the process
required by SFAS 142, to the extent a reporting unit's
carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the reporting unit's
goodwill may be impaired. During the second quarter of fiscal
2003, the Company completed the first step of this process and
determined there was no indication of goodwill impairment.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
and the associated asset retirement costs. It applies to legal
obligations associated
F-15
with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the
acquisition, construction, development and/or the normal
operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain
obligations of lessees. The standard requires entities to
record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation in the period incurred with a corresponding
increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present
value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated
over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of
the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its
recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company
adopted SFAS 143 effective as of July 1, 2002. The adoption of
SFAS 143 did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").
This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting
for the impairment of long-lived assets. This statement
supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business,
and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events
and Transactions." This statement also amends ARB No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements," to eliminate the
exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control
is likely to be temporary. This statement requires that one
accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed
of by sale, whether previously held and used or newly
acquired. This statement also broadens the presentation of
discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions.
This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company
adopted SFAS 144 effective as of July 1, 2002. The adoption of
SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements,
Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of
FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13, and Technical Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145
rescinds SFAS 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from
Extinguishment of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement,
SFAS 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund
Requirements." SFAS 145 also rescinds SFAS 44, "Accounting for
Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers." SFAS 145 amends SFAS 13,
"Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between
the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and
the required accounting for certain lease modifications that
have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback
transactions. SFAS 145 also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical
corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability
under changed conditions. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
May 15, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS 145 in July 2002, the
Company reclassified the $160 loss on early extinguishment of
debt that was reported as an extraordinary item, net of $87 in
tax, for the year ended June 30, 2002 to selling, general and
administrative expenses and income tax expense.
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS
146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and
nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit
an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." SFAS 146 requires recognition of a liability
for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when
the liability is incurred, as opposed to when the entity
commits to an exit plan under EITF 94-3. This statement is
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 146 effective
January 1, 2003 and has considered it in actions involving
exit or disposal costs initiated after that date. The adoption
of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
F-16
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure, An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("SFAS 148"). This
statement provides alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148
amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to
require more prominent disclosures, in both interim and annual
financial statements, about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect the method
used has on reported results. The provisions of SFAS 148 are
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002 and
the interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial
reports containing financial statements for interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2002. The Company will continue
to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
value method and has adopted the disclosure requirements
prescribed by SFAS 148 as of March 31, 2003. The additional
required disclosures have been provided in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 149"), which is generally effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for
hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS 149
clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial
net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as
discussed in SFAS No. 133, clarifies when a derivative
contains a financing component, amends the definition of an
"underlying" to conform it to the language used in FASB
Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others," and amends certain other existing
pronouncements. The Company currently has no involvement with
derivative financial instruments, and therefore it does not
anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 149 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 modifies the
accounting for certain financial instruments that, under
previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS
150 requires that those instruments be classified as
liabilities in statements of financial position and affects an
issuer's accounting for (1) mandatorily redeemable shares,
which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange
for cash or other assets, (2) instruments, other than
outstanding shares, that do or may require the issuer to buy
back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets,
or (3) obligations that can be settled with shares, the
monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly
to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with
the value of the issuer's shares. In addition to its
requirements for the classification and measurement of
financial instruments within its scope, SFAS 150 also requires
disclosures about alternative ways of settling those
instruments and the capital structure of entities, all of
whose shares are mandatorily redeemable. SFAS 150 is effective
for financial instruments entered into or modified after May
31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The
Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 150 will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation 45,
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others, Interpretation of FASB Statement Nos. 5, 57 and 107
and Rescission of FIN 34" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 clarifies the
requirements of SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies,"
relating to the guarantor's accounting for, and disclosure of,
the issuance of certain types of guarantees. FIN 45 requires,
that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a
liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes
under the guarantee. The disclosure provisions of FIN 45
F-17
are effective for financial statements of interim or annual
periods that end after December 15, 2002, while the initial
recognition and measurement provisions are effective on a
prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified
after December 31, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure
and initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45
effective for the period ended December 31, 2002 and as of
March 31, 2003, respectively. The adoption of FIN 45 has not
had a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - An
Interpretation of ARB No. 51" ("FIN 46"). In general, a
variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust,
or any other legal structure used for business purposes that
either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights
or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient
financial resources for the entity to support its activities.
FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated
by a company (known as the "primary beneficiary") if that
company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the
variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The
consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The
consolidation requirements apply to variable interest entities
that existed as of January 31, 2003 in the first fiscal year
or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. FIN 46 also
requires certain disclosures by all holders of a significant
variable interest in a variable interest entity that are not
the primary beneficiary. The Company does not have any
material investments in variable interest entities, and
therefore, the adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on its
consolidated financial statements.
(2) ACQUISITIONS
Purchase of Products from Wyeth
On June 9, 2003, the Company acquired from Wyeth the rights to four
products and a sublicense on a product currently being developed by
Wyeth for initial cash consideration of $25,992 and an agreement for
future royalty payments based on future sales of the products. The
Company also entered into an interim supply agreement with Wyeth in
relation to these products that will terminate as to certain portions
of the agreement on various dates over the next two fiscal years. Of
the total $25,992 purchase price, $22,046 was allocated to the marketed
products and $3,946 was allocated to the in-process research and
development project (see Note 9). No value was assigned to the supply
agreement for the acquired products because the product purchase prices
under the agreement approximate the price the Company would expect to
pay third party contract manufacturers. The products will be amortized
over a weighted-average useful life of 8.75 years.
The $3,946 was written off as research and development expenses upon
acquisition because technological feasibility, through FDA or
comparable regulatory body approval, had not been established and the
projects had no alternative future use.
Acquisition of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On June 6, 2002, the Company acquired certain assets from and assumed
certain liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The acquisition
was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The total
purchase price, including acquisition costs of $1,071, was $46,288.
The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on June 6,
2002 were:
F-18
Current assets $ 1,252
Property and equipment 2,012
Intangible assets 28,200

Purchase price $ 46,288
==========
Total cash paid $ 45,217

==========
Intangible assets included $1,400 of patents and $26,800 in product
license agreements that are each subject to amortization over an
estimated useful life of ten years (see Note 9). The fair value of net
assets acquired was $32,464, resulting in goodwill of $13,941. The
Company acquired Enhance to further its expansion into the female
healthcare market. Certain of the factors contributing to the purchase
price that resulted in goodwill were Enhance's proprietary vaginal ring
drug delivery platform and its uses. The entire balance of goodwill is
deductible for tax purposes. The operating results of Enhance are
included in the consolidated financial statements subsequent to the
June 6, 2002 acquisition date.
Acquired in-process research and development projects in the amount of
$1,000 were written off as research and development expenses upon
acquisition because technological feasibility, through FDA or
comparable regulatory body approval, had not been established and the
projects had no alternative future use.
(3) MERGER WITH DURAMED PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
On June 29, 2001, the Company announced the signing of a definitive
merger agreement with Duramed, a developer, manufacturer, and marketer
of prescription drug products focusing on women's health and the
hormone therapy markets. The merger was approved by the shareholders of
Duramed and Barr, respectively, and on October 24, 2001, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Barr merged with and into Duramed, with Duramed surviving
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger was treated as
a tax-free reorganization and was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests for financial reporting purposes.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Duramed common shareholders
received a fixed exchange ratio of 0.3843 shares of Barr common stock
for each share of Duramed common stock. Duramed preferred stock
shareholders received 7.5948 shares of Barr common stock for each share
of Duramed preferred stock. Based on these terms, Barr issued
approximately 11.25 million shares of its common stock for all the
outstanding common and preferred stock of Duramed and exchanged all
options and warrants to purchase Duramed stock for options and warrants
to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company's common
stock.
The Company and Duramed had certain differences in the classification
of expenses in their historical statements of operations and certain
differences in the classification of assets and liabilities in their
historical balance sheets. Reclassifications have been made to conform
the combined companies' statement of operations and balance sheet
classifications. In addition, the historical Duramed balance sheets
included approximately $50,000 in deferred tax assets, which had been
fully offset by a valuation allowance. On a combined basis, Barr
expects to utilize a majority of these deferred tax assets. Therefore,
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the
Company has restated Duramed's historical balance sheets to recognize
the deferred tax asset that is more-likely-than-not expected to be
utilized.

(4) STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH DUPONT PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANY
On March 20, 2000, the Company signed definitive agreements to
establish a strategic relationship with DuPont Pharmaceuticals Company
("DuPont") to develop, market and promote several proprietary products
and to terminate all litigation between the two companies. The Company
was unable to assess whether the individual terms of each of the
agreements would have been different had each of the agreements been
negotiated separately with other third parties not involved in
litigation.
DuPont has since been acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("BMS").
In April 2002, the Company and BMS agreed to restructure and terminate
both the proprietary product development funding agreement and the
Trexall Marketing Agreement that were entered into between Barr and
DuPont in March 2000.
Under the terms of the March 2000 proprietary product development
funding agreement ("Product Development Agreement"), DuPont agreed to
invest up to $45,000 to support the ongoing development of Barr's
CyPat(TM) prostate cancer therapy and SEASONALE(R) and DP3 oral
contraceptive proprietary products in exchange for co-marketing rights
and royalties. Barr and BMS agreed to terminate this agreement and to
cap BMS's funding obligations at $40,000. In return, BMS agreed to
forego its royalty interest and other rights regarding the marketing of
these three products. In connection with the Product Development
Agreement, the Company earned $0, $15,343 and $12,008 for the years
ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Barr and BMS also agreed to terminate the Trexall Marketing Agreement,
under which DuPont had agreed to promote, market and sell Barr's
Trexall(TM) product in exchange for a royalty. As a result of the
termination, Barr has assumed BMS' responsibilities to coordinate the
promotion and sales activities for Trexall and BMS will forego its
royalty interest in the product. BMS agreed to fulfill its existing
obligation to fund the Trexall sales force costs during fiscal 2003 and
2004 and paid Barr $600 to cover BMS' other obligations during the term
of the contract. For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company earned
$5,000 related to this agreement.
F-20
In March 2000, Barr received from DuPont the right to market and
distribute ViaSpan(R), an organ transplant preservation agent, in the
United States and Canada, through patent expiry in March 2006. During a
transition period that ended July 31, 2000, DuPont remained the
distributor of ViaSpan but paid a fee to Barr based on a defined
formula calculated on DuPont's actual sales of ViaSpan during this
transition period. For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company earned
$562 during this transition period.
(5) PROCEEDS FROM PATENT CHALLENGE SETTLEMENT
In January 1997, Bayer AG, Bayer Corporation (collectively, "Bayer")
and the Company agreed to settle the then pending litigation regarding
Bayer's patent protecting ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. Under the
settlement agreement, the Company withdrew its patent challenge by
amending its ANDA from a paragraph IV certification (claiming
invalidity) to a paragraph III certification (seeking approval upon
patent expiry) and acknowledged the validity and enforceability of the
ciprofloxacin patent. As consideration for this settlement, the Company
received a non-refundable payment of $24,550 in January 1997, which it
recorded as proceeds from patent challenge settlement. Concurrent with
the Settlement Agreement, the Company also signed a contingent,
non-exclusive Supply Agreement ("Supply Agreement") with Bayer that
ends at patent expiry in December 2003.
Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, until June 9, 2003, Bayer, at
its sole option could either (i) allow Barr and Aventis, the
contractual successor to Barr's joint venture partner in the Cipro
patent challenge case, to purchase, at a predetermined discount to
Bayer's then selling price, quantities of ciprofloxacin for resale
under market conditions or (ii) make quarterly cash payments as defined
in the Agreement. Bayer elected to make payments rather than supply the
Company with ciprofloxacin. Barr recognized the amounts due under the
Supply Agreement as such amounts were realized based on the outcome of
Bayer's election. The amounts realized are reported as proceeds from
patent challenge settlement.
On June 9, 2003, the Company began distributing ciprofloxacin tablets.
The Company shares one-half of its profits from the sale of
ciprofloxacin, as defined, with Aventis.

Debt Securities
The Company has invested $44,400 in market auction debt securities,
which are readily convertible into cash at par value, which
approximates cost. The par value of each of the securities held is
equal to the market value, and the securities mature on various dates
between July 21, 2003 and July 13, 2004.

Equity Securities
In April 1999, the Company sold its rights to several pharmaceutical
products to Halsey Drug Company in exchange for warrants exercisable
for 500,000 shares of Halsey's common stock at $1.06 per share. The
warrants expire in April 2004. In connection with this sale, the
Company recorded an investment in warrants and realized a gain of $343.
The Company has valued the warrants at their fair value using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions for
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively: dividend yield of 0%; expected
volatility of 69.47% and 103.3%; risk-free interest rate of 5.78%; and
expected life of 0.75 and 1.75 years.
(9) OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets, excluding goodwill, which are comprised primarily of
product licenses and product rights and related intangibles, consist of
the following:

Intangible assets, net $ 45,949 $ 28,200
========== =========
In December 2002, the Company's management decided to suspend
development of a product for which $1,400 in patents had been recorded.
As a result, on December 31, 2002, the Company wrote off the remaining
$1,330 of patents, net of accumulated amortization. This amount has
been included in selling, general and administrative expense.
Estimated amortization expense on product licenses and product rights
and related intangibles is as follows:
Year Ending

The Company's product licenses and product rights and related
intangibles have weighted average useful lives of approximately 10.0
and 8.75 years, respectively.
(10) GOODWILL
Goodwill of $14,118 and $13,941 at June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, was attributable to the Company's acquisition of certain
assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Enhance
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in June 2002. The increase in goodwill from June
30, 2002 is attributable to acquisition-related professional fees for
which estimates at June 30, 2002 differed from actual amounts.
(11) ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Included in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 is
approximately $33,335 and $23,175, respectively, related to amounts due

2004. Annual principal payments under the Notes total $5,429
in fiscal 2004 and 2005, and $4,000 in 2006 through 2008.
The Senior Unsecured Notes contain certain covenants
including, among others, a restriction on dividend payments in
excess of $10 million plus 75% of consolidated net earnings
subsequent to June 30, 1997. The Company was in compliance
with all covenants under the senior unsecured notes as of June
30, 2003.
(b) In March 2000 Duramed refinanced existing notes payable with a
$12,000 note and an $8,000 note payable to Provident Bank.
Provident holds a first mortgage on the Company's Cincinnati,
Ohio manufacturing facility. Both notes are guaranteed by
Solvay America, the parent of Solvay Pharmaceuticals.
The $12,000 note bears interest at the prime rate (4.25% at
June 30, 2003) and requires monthly payments of $100 plus
interest for a ten-year period that commenced on April 1,
2000. The $8,000 note bears interest at the prime rate and
requires monthly payments of $33 plus interest that commenced
on April 1, 2000. Principal payments for the $8,000 note are
based upon a twenty-year amortization with a balloon payment
due on March 1, 2010 of $4,000.
(c) In April 1996, the Company signed a Loan and Security
Agreement with BankAmerica Leasing and Capital Group that
provided the Company up to $18,750 in financing for equipment
to be purchased through October 1997. Notes entered into under
this agreement required no principal payment for the first two
quarters; interest payable quarterly thereafter at a rate
equal to the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 125
basis points; and had a term of 72 months. LIBOR was 1.86% at
June 30, 2002. During December 2002, the Company repaid all
amounts outstanding under this loan.
The Company has a $40,000 revolving credit facility that expires on
February 27, 2005. As of June 30, 2003, there was $29,312 available to
the Company under this facility due to the issuance of a $10,688 letter
of credit in support of the Company's product liability self-insurance
program (see Note 21). The Company pays a fee on the committed portion
of the credit facility equal to 1.00% of the outstanding balance. A fee
of 0.25% is paid on the remainder.
Principal maturities of existing long-term debt for the next five years
and thereafter are as follows:

(13) MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
The following discussion is related to preferred stock issued by
Duramed prior to the merger with Barr.
Series G
On May 12, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of $10,000
of Series G Convertible preferred stock with an institutional investor.
The preferred shares were immediately convertible into shares of the
Company's common stock at a fixed price of $3.37 per share. The
preferred stock paid a dividend of 5% annually, payable quarterly in
arrears, on all unconverted preferred stock. The investor also received
warrants which were valued at $765 to purchase 192,157 shares of common
stock at a price of $14.31 per share, exercisable at any time before
May 12, 2005. In conjunction with the Company's issuance of the Series
G Convertible Preferred Stock, it recorded an adjustment of
approximately $1,300 to properly reflect deemed dividends beyond the
stated 5% dividend rate and a beneficial conversion feature as required
by EITF 98-5 and 00-27. This adjustment, which reduced the carrying
amount of the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and increased
additional paid-in capital, was being amortized through May 12, 2004
and reflected as additional deemed dividends. On September 24 and 28,
2001, the preferred shares were converted to 303,795 and 455,691
shares, respectively, of common stock pursuant to the original terms of
the preferred stock. At the election of the holder of the preferred
stock, the dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 of $120
was satisfied by the issuance of 9,094 shares of common stock. The
Company recorded both the dividend and the fair market valuation of
$337 associated with the shares issued to satisfy the dividend as
adjustments to additional paid in capital. Additionally, the Company
wrote-off the remaining unamortized deemed dividend valuation
adjustment of $913 and the unamortized Series G warrant valuation of
$500 as adjustments to additional paid in capital.

========== =========
At June 30, 2003 and 2002, as a result of the merger with Duramed, the
Company had cumulative regular net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $38,800 and $66,900, respectively, for federal and state
income tax purposes, which will expire in the years 2011 to 2015. There
is an annual limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss
carryforward, which is calculated under Internal Revenue Code Section
382.
The tax credit carryforward is primarily comprised of credits related
to research and development activities that expire in the years 2004 to
2021.
The Company has established a valuation allowance to reduce the
deferred tax asset recorded for certain tax credits, capital loss
carryforwards, and certain net operating loss carryforwards. A
valuation allowance is recorded because based on available evidence, it
is more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax asset to the Company's
best estimate of the net deferred tax asset that, more-likely-than-not,
will be realized. The valuation allowance will be reduced when and if
the Company determines that the deferred income tax assets are likely
to be realized. Accordingly, during the year ended June 30, 2003, the
Company reduced the valuation allowance by a net of $2,308, due to the
expiration of certain tax credits and after determining that it was
more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset related to certain net
operating losses would be realized.
(16) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Employee Stock Option Plans
The Company has three employee stock option plans, the Barr
Laboratories, Inc. 2002 Stock and Incentive Award Plan (the "2002
Option Plan"), the Barr Laboratories, Inc. 1993 Stock Incentive Plan
(the "1993 Option Plan") and the Barr Laboratories, Inc. 1986 Option
Plan, which were approved by the shareholders and which authorize the
granting of options to officers and employees to purchase the Company's
common stock. On February 20, 2003, all shares available for grant in
the 1993 Option Plan were transferred to the 2002 Option Plan and all
subsequent grants have been made under the 2002 Option Plan. Effective
June 30, 1996, options were no longer granted under the 1986 Option
Plan. For fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, there were no options that
expired under this plan.
F-27
All options granted prior to June 30, 1996 under the 1993 Option Plan
and 1986 Option Plan, become exercisable between one and two years from
the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant except
in cases of death or termination of employment as defined in each Plan.
All options outstanding on October 24, 2001 became fully vested upon
completion of the Duramed merger. Options granted after October 24,
2001 are exercisable between one and five years from the date of grant.
Through fiscal 2000, no option had been granted under either the 1993
Option Plan or the 1986 Option Plan at a price below the current market
price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In fiscal
2001, options for 45,000 shares were granted to a key executive as part
of her employment agreement at various prices below the current market
price on the date of grant. The total value of the discount associated
with this grant was $896 and was being amortized over the five-year
vesting period of the options. In fiscal 2001, the amortization of the
discount totaled $281. In fiscal 2002, these options fully vested as
the result of the Duramed merger and the remaining discount of $615 was
expensed. Options granted after February 20, 2003 become exercisable
between one and three years from the date of grant and expire ten years
after the date of grant except in cases of death or termination of
employment.
In addition, the Company has options outstanding under the terms of
various former Duramed plans. These include the 1986 Stock Option Plan
(the "Duramed 1986 Plan"), the 1988 Stock Option Plan (the "1988
Plan"), the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"), and the 2000
Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan"). All outstanding options under the
Duramed plans, with the exception of options held by certain senior
executives of Duramed, vested as of October 24, 2001, the effective
date of the merger, as provided by the Plan. Such options were assumed
by Barr under the same terms and conditions as were applicable under
the Duramed stock option plans under which the options were granted.
The number of options and related exercise prices have been adjusted to
a Barr equivalent number of options and exercise price pursuant to the
merger. Subsequent to October 24, 2001, additional options are no
longer granted under these Duramed plans.
A summary of the activity for the three fiscal years ended June 30,
2003, adjusted for the March 2003 3-for-2 stock split is as follows:

Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plans
During fiscal year 1994, the shareholders approved the Barr
Laboratories, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(the "1993 Directors' Plan"). All options granted under the 1993
Directors' Plan have ten-year terms and are exercisable at an option
exercise price equal to the market price of the common stock on the
date of grant. Each option is exercisable on the date of the first
annual shareholders' meeting immediately following the date of grant of
the option, provided there has been no interruption of the optionee's
service on the Board before that date.
On October 24, 2002, the shareholders approved the Barr Laboratories,
Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "2002
Directors' Plan"). This plan, among other things, enhances the
Company's ability to attract and retain experienced directors. On
February 20, 2003, all shares available for grant under the 1993
Directors' Plan were transferred to the 2002 Directors' Plan. As of
June 30, 2003, no options had been granted under the 2002 Directors'
Plan.
Duramed had a Stock Option Plan for Non-employee Directors (the "1991
Duramed Directors' Plan") under which each new non-employee director
was granted, at the close of business on the date he or she first
became a director, options to purchase 3,843 shares of common stock.
Annually, each then serving non-employee director, other than a new
director, was also automatically granted options to purchase 1,921
shares of common stock at a price equal to the closing market price on
the date of grant. Options granted under the 1991 Duramed Directors'
Plan expire 10 years after the date of grant. Subsequent to October 24,
2001, options will no longer be granted under this plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During fiscal 1994, the shareholders ratified the adoption by the Board
of Directors of the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase
Plan") to offer employees an inducement to acquire an ownership
interest in the Company. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees
to purchase, through regular payroll deductions, an aggregate of
1,012,500 shares of common stock at approximately 85% of the fair
market value of such shares. Under the Purchase Plan, 77,136, 44,476
and 75,442 shares of common stock were purchased during the years ended
June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Warrants
Warrants issued by Duramed prior to the merger with Barr
On September 13, 1996, in connection with the acquisition of the assets
of Hallmark Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the Company issued warrants to
purchase 153,720 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $65.05 per share. These warrants were repriced on September
12, 1997 to $26.02 per share. The warrants had a term of five years and

based on an antidilutive clause in the purchase contract, the exercise
price was adjusted to $22.86 and the number of warrants to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock was adjusted to 174,763. As of
June 30, 2002, these warrants were no longer outstanding.
On June 5, 1997, in connection with the issuance of Series E preferred
stock, the Company granted warrants to purchase 7,686 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $11.22 per share. The
warrants vested immediately and, unless exercised, expired on June 5,
2000.
On February 4, 1998, in conjunction with the issuance of Series F
preferred stock, the Company granted warrants to purchase 211,374
shares of the Company's common stock. Of the total amount, warrants for
192,159 shares were issued to investors of the Series F preferred stock
at an exercise price of $14.93 per share. These warrants vested on
October 2, 1998 and were exercised on September 19, 2002 in a cashless
exercise that resulted in the issuance of 125,910 shares of the
Company's common stock. The remaining 19,215 warrants were granted at
an exercise price of $13.58 per share. The warrants vested immediately
and expired on February 4, 2001. As of June 30, 2003, of the remaining
warrants, 16,718 were exercised and 2,497 had expired.
During 1999, in conjunction with an amendment to a financing agreement,
the Company granted to a bank warrants to purchase 42,273 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $33.28. These warrants
vested immediately and expire four years from the date of grant. In
December 1999, the financing agreement was amended to reset the
exercise price of 50% of the warrants to $23.43 per share. During 2000,
based on an antidilutive clause in the agreement, the number of
warrants was adjusted to 44,227. The price of 22,284 warrants was
adjusted to $31.57 and the remaining 21,945 warrants were repriced to
$22.55. In November 2001 and January 2002 a total of 38,196 of the
warrants were exercised. As of June 30, 2003, warrants for 6,031 shares
were outstanding with an expiration of July 2009.
On May 12, 2000, in combination with the issuance of Series G preferred
stock, the Company granted warrants to purchase 192,157 common shares
at a price of $14.31 per share. The warrants vested immediately and
expire on May 12, 2005. As of June 30, 2003, all of these warrants
remained outstanding.
DuPont Warrants
In March 2000, the Company issued warrants granting DuPont the right to
purchase 1,125,000 shares of Barr's common stock at $20.89 per share,
and 1,125,000 shares at $25.33 per share, respectively. Each warrant
was immediately exercisable and expires in March 2004. As of June 30,
2003, DuPont has sold its rights to all the warrants to third parties
and none of the warrants have been exercised.

(17) SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has a savings and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") which
is intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan in the
first month following the month of hire. Participating employees may
contribute up to a maximum of 60% of their earnings before or after
taxes, limited to a maximum of $12,000 for pre-tax contributions. The
Company is required, pursuant to the terms of its collective bargaining
agreement, to contribute to each union employee's account an amount
equal to the 2% minimum contribution made by such employee, which
becomes fully-vested at the time of the Company's contribution. The
Company may, at its discretion, make cash contributions equal to a
percentage of the amount contributed by an employee to the 401(k) Plan
up to a maximum of 10% of such employee's compensation. Participants
are always fully vested with respect to their own contributions and any
profits arising therefrom. Participants become fully vested in the
Company's contributions and related earnings after five full years of
employment.
Duramed had a defined contribution plan, the "Duramed Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. 401(k) / Profit Sharing Plan" ("Duramed Plan" or "Plan") available
to all employees. The Plan provided for Duramed to match 50% of
employee contributions to a maximum of 3% of each employee's
compensation. Prior to October 2001, Duramed's matching contribution
was made with Duramed's common stock, as permitted by the Plan. The
Plan also had a profit sharing provision at the discretion of Duramed's
board of directors. Duramed did not make a profit sharing contribution
to the Plan. All full-time employees were eligible to participate in
the deferred compensation and company matching provisions of the Plan.
Employees were immediately vested with respect to the company matching
provisions of the Plan.
On January 1, 2002, the Duramed Plan was merged with the Barr 401(k)
Plan and the participants of the Duramed Plan became eligible for
participation in the Barr 401(k) Plan. The Company's contributions to
the 401(k) Plans were $5,549, $4,790 and $3,304 for the years ended
June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
In fiscal 2000, the Board of Directors approved a non-qualified plan
("Excess Plan") that enables certain executives to defer up to 10% of
their compensation in excess of the qualified plan. The Company may, at
its discretion, contribute a percentage of the amount contributed by
the individuals covered under this Excess Plan to a maximum of 10% of
such individual's compensation. In fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001,
the Company chose to make contributions at the 10% rate to this plan.
As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had an asset and matching
liability for the Excess Plan of $2,282 and $1,394, respectively.
The Company has an unfunded pension plan covering two non-employee
directors of Duramed who were elected prior to 1998 and who had served
on Duramed's Board for at least five years. At the time of the merger
with Barr, two Duramed directors were eligible to receive benefits. The
plan provides an annual benefit, payable monthly over each director's
life, from the time a participating director ceased to be a member of
the Board, equal to 85% and 60%, respectively, of the director's most
recent annual Board fee, as adjusted annually to reflect changes in the
Consumer Price Index. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company has
recorded $487 and $490, respectively, as a long-term liability
representing the
F-31
present value of the estimated future benefit obligation to the
eligible directors. The right of a director to receive benefits under
the plan is forfeited if the director engages in any activity
determined by the Board to be contrary to the best interests of the
Company.

(19) MERGER-RELATED COSTS
As a result of the Duramed merger, the Company incurred pre-tax
merger-related expenses for the year ended June 30, 2002 of
approximately $31,449, which is included in the consolidated statements
of operations as merger-related costs. Such expenses included
approximately $13,000 in direct transaction costs such as investment
banking, legal and accounting costs, as well as approximately $7,000 in
costs associated with facility and product rationalization and $11,000
in severance costs. Portions of these expenses were not tax deductible.
The severance costs included approximately $7,000 intended to satisfy
the change in control payments under certain previously existing
employment contracts along with the expected cost associated with
terminating approximately 120 former Duramed employees primarily
representing certain manufacturing and general and administrative
functions.
As of June 30, 2002, all of the direct transaction costs and
involuntary termination benefits had been paid and charged against the
liability leaving a remaining liability of approximately $1,600, of
which $700 related to severance and change in control payments and $900
related to facility costs. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining liability
balance of approximately $700 relates to facility costs.
(20) COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE
On September 17, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
issued an Emergency Order permitting companies to initiate common stock
repurchase programs without impacting pooling-of-interests accounting.
As a result, the Company's board of directors authorized the Company to
spend up to $100,000 for such a common stock repurchase program. Such
authorization was limited to the time periods established by the SEC.
On October 12, 2001, the SEC's order expired and the Company's
repurchase program ended. During the period the Company repurchased
15,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately
$695.

The Company is party to various leases which relate to the rental of
office facilities and equipment. The Company believes it will be able
to extend such leases, if necessary. Rent expense charged to operations
was $1,875, $1,444 and $2,043 in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The table below shows the future minimum rental payments,
exclusive of taxes, insurance and other costs under noncancellable
long-term lease commitments at June 30, 2003. Such payments total

Business Development Venture
In fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
(the "Loan Agreement") with Natural Biologics, the raw material
supplier for the Company's generic equine-based conjugated estrogens
product for which the Company filed an ANDA with the FDA in June 2003.
The Company believes that the raw material is pharmaceutically
equivalent to raw material used to produce Wyeth's Premarin(R). Natural
Biologics is a defendant in litigation brought by Wyeth alleging that
Natural Biologics misappropriated certain Wyeth trade secrets with
respect to the preparation of this raw material. This case was tried in
November 2002, and a decision may be rendered by the trial court at any
time. An unfavorable decision for Natural Biologics could materially
and adversely affect Natural Biologics' ability to repay the loans the
Company has made to it. If that were to be the case, the Company may be
required to write-off all or a portion of the loans made to Natural
Biologics. As of June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company had loaned Natural
Biologics approximately $14,408 and $4,746, respectively, under this
agreement, including accrued interest, and has included such amount in
other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, absent the occurrence of a
material adverse event (including an unfavorable court decision in the
Wyeth matter), the Company could loan Natural Biologics up to $35,000
over a three-year period, including $8,300 and $2,800 during fiscal
2004 and 2005, respectively. The Loan Agreement also provides for a
loan of $10,000 based upon the successful outcome of pending legal
proceedings between Wyeth and Natural Biologics, as discussed above.
The loans mature on June 3, 2007, are collateralized by a security
interest in inventory and certain other assets of Natural Biologics and
bear interest at the applicable federal rate as defined by the Loan
Agreement (3.03% at June 30, 2003).
In fiscal 2002, the Company also entered into a Development,
Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with Natural Biologics which
could obligate the Company to make milestone payments totaling an
additional $35,000 to Natural Biologics based on achieving certain
legal and product approval milestones, including the approval of a
generic product.
Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key
employees. These agreements terminate at various dates through 2006.
F-33
Product Liability Insurance
On September 30, 2002, the Company entered into a finite risk insurance
arrangement (the "Arrangement") with a third party insurer due to the
significant increase in the cost of traditional product liability
insurance. The Company believes that the Arrangement is an effective
way to insure against a portion of potential product liability claims.
In exchange for $15,000 in product liability coverage over a five-year
term, the Arrangement provides for the Company to pay approximately
$14,250 in four equal annual installments of $3,563, with the first
annual payment having been made in October 2002. Included in the
initial payment is an insurer's margin of approximately $1,000, which
is being amortized over the five-year term. At any six-month interval,
the Company may, at its option, cancel the Arrangement. In addition, at
the earlier of termination or expiry, the Company is eligible for a
return of all amounts paid to the insurer, less the insurer's margin
and amounts for any incurred claims. The Company is recording the
payments, net of the insurer's margin, as deposits included in other
assets.
The Company is self-insured for potential product liability claims
between $15,000 and $25,000. The Company has purchased additional
coverage from an insurance carrier that will offer coverage for claims
between $25,000 and $50,000, subject to a $10,000 limitation on some of
the Company's products and an exclusion on others.
Simultaneously with entering into the Arrangement, the Company
exercised the extended reporting period under its previous insurance
policy that provides $10,000 of product liability coverage of unlimited
duration for product liability claims on products sold from September
10, 1987 to September 30, 2002. Additionally, in connection with its
merger with Duramed, the Company purchased a supplemental extended
reporting policy under Duramed's prior insurance policy that provides
$10,000 of product liability coverage for an unlimited duration for
product liability claims on products sold by Duramed between October 1,
1985 and October 24, 2001, and for product liability claims.
The Company has never been held liable for, or agreed to pay, a
significant product liability claim. However, the Company is from time
to time a defendant in several product liability actions. If the
Company incurs defense costs and liabilities in excess of the Company's
self-insurance reserve that are not otherwise covered by insurance, it
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
Indemnity Provisions
From time-to-time, in the normal course of business, we agree to
indemnify our suppliers and customers concerning product liability
and other matters.
Litigation Settlement
On October 22, 1999, the Company reached a settlement agreement with
Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. (now part of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)
relating to a 1992 agreement regarding the pursuit of a generic
conjugated estrogens product. Under the terms of the settlement, Schein
gave up any claim to rights in Cenestin in exchange for a payment of
$15,000, which was paid to Schein in 1999. An additional $15,000
payment is required under the terms of the settlement if Cenestin
achieves total profits (product sales less product-specific cost of
goods sold, sales and marketing and other relevant expenses) of greater
than $100,000 over any five year or less period prior to October 22,
2014.
Class Action Lawsuits
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro(R))
To date the Company has been named as co-defendants with Bayer
corporation, The Rugby Group, Inc. and others in approximately 38 class
action complaints filed in state and federal courts by direct and
indirect purchasers of Ciprofloxacin (Cipro(R)) from 1997 to the
present. The complaints allege that the 1997 Bayer-Barr patent
litigation settlement agreement was anti-competitive and violated
federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust and consumer protection
laws. A prior investigation of this agreement by the Texas Attorney
General's Office on behalf of a group of state Attorneys General was
closed without further action in December 2001.
The lawsuits include nine consolidated in California state court, one
in Kansas state court, one in Wisconsin state court, one in Florida
state court, and two in New York state court, with the remainder of the
actions pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial
proceedings (the "MDL Case"). Fact discovery in the MDL case is
currently scheduled to close on November 7, 2003, after which the
parties will proceed with expert discovery, followed by anticipated
summary judgment briefing. The direct purchaser and indirect purchaser
plaintiffs also have filed motions for class certification in the MDL
case, but briefing is not complete
F-34
and the Court has indicated that it will defer ruling on the motions at
the present time. The state court actions remain in a relatively
preliminary stage generally, tracked to follow the MDL Case, although
defendants have filed dispositive motions and plaintiffs have moved for
class certification in certain of the cases.
On May 20, 2003, the District Court entered an order in the MDL Case
holding that the Barr-Bayer settlement did not constitute a per se
violation of the antitrust laws and restricting the scope of the legal
theories the plaintiffs could pursue in the case.
The Company believes that our agreement with Bayer Corporation reflects
a valid settlement to a patent suit and cannot form the basis of an
antitrust claim. Although it is not possible to forecast the outcome of
this matter, the Company intends to vigorously defend itself. We
anticipate that this matter may take several years to resolve, but an
adverse judgment could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Tamoxifen
To date approximately 31 consumer or third party payor class action
complaints have been filed in state and federal courts against Zeneca,
Inc., AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and the Company alleging, among
other things, that the 1993 settlement of patent litigation between
Zeneca and the Company violated the antitrust laws, insulated Zeneca
and the Company from generic competition and enabled Zeneca and the
Company to charge artificially inflated prices for Tamoxifen citrate. A
prior investigation of this agreement by the U.S. Department of Justice
was closed without further action.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has transferred these
cases to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
New York for pretrial proceedings. On May 13, 2003, the District Court
entered an order dismissing the cases for failure to state a viable
antitrust claim. Plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal.
The Company believes that its agreement with Zeneca reflects a valid
settlement to a patent suit and cannot form the basis of an antitrust
claim. Although it is not possible to forecast the outcome of this
matter, the Company intends to vigorously defend itself. It is
anticipated that this matter may take several years to resolve, but an
adverse judgment could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
Invamed/Apothecon Lawsuit
In February 1998 and May 1999, Invamed, Inc. and Apothecon, Inc.,
respectively, both of which have since been acquired by Geneva
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Novartis AG, named the
Company and several others as defendants in lawsuits filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
charging that the Company unlawfully blocked access to the raw material
source for Warfarin Sodium. The two actions have been consolidated. On
May 10, 2002, the District Court granted summary judgment in the
Company's favor on all antitrust claims in the case, but found that the
plaintiffs could proceed to trial on their allegations that the Company
interfered with an alleged raw material supply contract between Invamed
and Barr's raw material supplier. Invamed and Apothecon have appealed
the District Court's decision to the United States Court of Appeals for
the Second Circuit. Trial on the merits has been stayed pending the
outcome of the appeal.
The Company believes that these suits are without merit and intends to
vigorously defend its position, but an adverse judgment could have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Suit
In May 2000, the Company filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application
("ANDA") seeking approval from the FDA to market the tablet combination
of desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets and ethinyl estradiol tablets,
the generic equivalent of Organon Inc.'s Mircette(R) oral contraceptive
regimen. The Company notified Bio-Technology General Corp. ("BTG"), the
owner of the patent for the Mircette product, pursuant to the
provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and BTG filed a patent infringement
action in the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey seeking to prevent Barr from marketing the tablet combination.
In December 2001, the United States District Court for the District of
New Jersey granted summary judgment in favor or Duramed, finding that
Barr's product did not infringe the patent at issue in the case. BTG
appealed the District Court's decision. In April 2002, the Company
launched its Kariva(R) product, the generic version of Mircette. In
April 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed
the District Court's decision granting summary judgment in Duramed's
favor and remanded the case to the District Court for further
F-35
proceedings.
In July, 2003, BTG (now Savient) filed an amended complaint adding
Organon (Ireland) Ltd. and Organon USA as plaintiffs and adding the
Company as a defendant. The amended complaint seeks damages and
enhanced damages based upon willful infringement. The Company believes
that it has not infringed BTG's patent and continues to manufacture and
market Kariva. If BTG and Organon are successful, the Company could be
liable for damages for patent infringement, which could have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Termination of Solvay Co-Marketing Relationship
On March 31, 2002, Barr's Duramed subsidiary gave notice of its
intention to terminate, as of June 30, 2002, the relationship between
Barr and Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which covered the joint promotion
of Barr's Cenestin tablets and Solvay's Prometrium(R) capsules. Solvay
has disputed Duramed's right to terminate the relationship and claims
it is entitled to substantial damages and has notified Barr that it has
demanded arbitration of this matter. Discovery is underway and the
arbitration hearing is currently scheduled to begin in January 2004.
The Company believes its actions are well founded but if the Company is
incorrect, an adverse decision in the matter could have a material
adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Lemelson
In November, 2001, the Lemelson Medical, Education & Research
Foundation filed an action in the United States District Court for the
District of Arizona alleging patent infringement against many
defendants, including the Company, involving "machine vision" or
"computer image analysis." In March, 2002, the court stayed the
proceedings, pending the resolution of another suit that involves the
same patents, but does not involve the Company.
Nortrel 7/7/7 Product Recall
On July 9, 2003, the Company initiated a recall of three lots of its
Nortrel 7/7/7 oral contraceptive product after receiving two customer
complaints that the tablets that had been dispensed to them were
misconfigured. The Company has since received reports of pregnancies
from approximately 16 women who claim to have taken the product. The
Company is in the process of investigating whether these women have
taken affected product and whether their pregnancies are related to use
of affected product. The Company anticipates that one or more of these
women will commence formal legal actions against it. The Company does
not have sufficient information at this time to evaluate the likelihood
of success in these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome in one or
more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
PPA Litigation
The Company is a defendant in three personal injury product liability
lawsuits involving phenylproanolamine ("PPA"). All three cases are in
their initial stages. The Company believes it has strong defenses to
all three cases and intends to vigorously defend against them. However,
an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
MPA Litigation
The Company has been named as a defendant in at least ten personal
injury product liability cases brought against the Company and other
manufacturers by plaintiffs claiming that they suffered injuries
resulting from the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate ("MPA") in
conjunction with Premarin or other hormone therapy products. These
cases are in a preliminary stage and the Company does not know whether
any of these individuals took an MPA product manufactured by the
Company. We intend to vigorously defend against these cases. However,
an unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
Medical Reimbursement Cases
We have learned that we have been named as a defendant in separate
actions brought by the County of Suffolk, New York and Westchester
County, New York against numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers. The
action seeks to recover damages and other relief for alleged
overcharges for prescription medications paid for by Medicaid. We
believe that we have not engaged in any improper conduct and intend to
vigorously defend against the cases. However, an unfavorable outcome
could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
statements.
Other Litigation
As of June 30, 2003, the Company was involved with other lawsuits
incidental to its business, including patent infringement actions and
personal injury claims. Management of the Company, based on the advice
of legal counsel, believes that the ultimate disposition of such other
lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
F-36
Administrative Matters
On June 30, 1999, the Company received a civil investigative demand
("CID") and a subpoena from the FTC seeking documents and data relating
to the January 1997 agreements resolving the patent litigation
involving ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. The CID was limited to a request
for information and did not allege any wrongdoing. The FTC is
investigating whether Barr, through the settlement and supply
agreements, has engaged in activities in violation of the antitrust
laws. Barr continues to cooperate with the FTC in this investigation.
On August 17, 2001, the Oregon Attorney General's Office, as liaison on
behalf of a group of state Attorneys General, served the Company with a
CID relating to its investigation of our settlement of the Tamoxifen
patent challenge with AstraZeneca. The investigative demand requests
the production of certain information and documents that may assist the
Attorney General in its investigation. The Company is reviewing the
demand and intends to fully cooperate with the Attorney General's
office in its investigation.
The Company believes that the patent challenge settlements being
investigated represent a pro-consumer and pro-competitive outcome to
the patent challenge cases. An investigation of the tamoxifen
settlement by the U.S. Department of Justice and an investigation of
the ciprofloxacin settlement by the Texas Attorney General's Office on
behalf of other state Attorneys General already have been
satisfactorily resolved without further action and we expect these
investigations to be satisfactorily resolved, as well. However,
consideration of these matters could take considerable time, and any
adverse judgment could have a material adverse impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2001, the Company received a subpoena, issued by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General, for the
production of documents related to pricing and Medicaid reimbursement
of select products in Massachusetts. Barr is one of a number of
pharmaceutical companies that have received such subpoenas. Barr is
cooperating with the inquiry and believes that all of its product
agreements and pricing decisions have been lawful and proper.
