     Product Liability Insurance

     The Company utilizes a combination of self-insurance and traditional third-party insurance policies to cover product liability claims. On September 30, 2004, the Company elected to terminate the “finite-risk” insurance arrangement that it had in place for two years, and in connection with such termination increased its traditional third-party product liability coverage, as discussed below.

     Self Insurance

     The Company is self insured for costs incurred relating to product liability claims arising during the current policy period up to an aggregate amount of $25,000. In addition, to the extent the third party liability insurance discussed below does not cover certain products, the Company would be responsible for all costs arising from claims relating to those excluded products.

     Third Party Insurance

     The Company maintains third-party insurance that provides coverage, subject to specified coinsurance requirements, for claims arising during the current policy period between an aggregate amount of $25,000 and $75,000. This coverage excludes certain products.

In September 2002, the Company exercised an option under a previous product liability policy to extend the reporting period coverage for that policy. By exercising that option, the Company extended the reporting period for $20,000 of coverage for product liability arising from products sold during the period from September 1987 through September 2002.

Similarly, in connection with the Company’s merger with Duramed Pharmaceuticals in October 2001, it purchased a supplemental extended reporting policy under Duramed’s prior insurance policy. By exercising this option, the Company extended the reporting

period for $10,000 of coverage for product liability claims arising from products sold by Duramed between October 1, 1985 and October 24, 2001.

     Insurance Reserves

     The Company maintains a self-insurance reserve that provides for an estimate of potential product liability claims not covered by insurance and the future costs of incurred-but-not-reported “IBNR” claims. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel, insurance consultants and independent actuaries. Administrative or defense costs related to these claims are expensed when incurred.

The Company is a defendant in many product liability actions. For product liability claims that are not fully or substantially covered by the insurance arrangements described above, the costs incurred to defend such claims or any adverse judgments or settlements in such matters 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, the Company agrees to indemnify its employees, suppliers and customers concerning product liability and other matters. The Company does not believe that the likelihood of paying amounts related to these indemnity provisions is probable. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company maintains a self insurance reserve and insurance coverage which management believes will effectively mitigate the Company’s obligations under these indemnification provisions. No amounts have been recorded in the financial statements with respect to the Company’s obligations under such agreements.

     Litigation Matters

          Ciprofloxacin (Cipro®) Antitrust Class Actions

     To date the Company has been named as a co-defendant 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®) 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 Company believes that its agreement with Bayer Corporation reflects a valid settlement to a patent suit and cannot form the basis of an antitrust claim. Based on this belief, the Company is vigorously defending itself in these matters. The Company

anticipates that these matters may take several years to resolve. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Tamoxifen Antitrust Class Actions

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 L.P. 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. On May 19, 2003, the U.S. District Court dismissed the complaints for failure to state a viable antitrust claim. The cases are now on 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. Based on this belief, the Company is vigorously defending itself in these matters. The Company anticipates that these matters may take several years to resolve. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Suit

     In May 2000, the Company 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. 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 the Company from marketing the tablet combination. In December 2001, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Company, finding that its generic 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® 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 the Company’s favor and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.

Table of Contents

In July 2003, BTG (now Savient) filed an amended complaint adding Organon (Ireland) Ltd. and Organon USA as plaintiffs. The amended complaint seeks damages and enhanced damages based upon willful infringement. The Company filed an answer to BTG’s amended complaint in July 2003. The Company believes that it has not infringed BTG’s patent and continues to manufacture and market Kariva. Nevertheless, the Company expects that Organon will seek to recover lost profits on sales of Mircette and to assert that these lost profits and enhanced damages significantly exceed the Company’s approximately $110,000 in sales of Kariva from its launch to June 30, 2004. If BTG and Organon are successful, the Company could be liable for damages for patent infringement and may be prohibited from continuing to sell its Kariva product. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          HRT Litigation

     The Company and/or Duramed have been named as a defendant in as many as 2,000 personal injury product liability cases brought against the Company and other manufacturers by plaintiffs claiming that they suffered injuries resulting from the use of Cenestin or the use of medroxyprogesterone acetate in conjunction with Premarin or other hormone therapy products. While Barr and/or Duramed have been named as defendants in these cases, a much smaller number of complaints actually allege the plaintiffs took a product manufactured by Barr and/or Duramed. The majority of these cases are either pending in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas or have been filed in other state courts, removed to federal court and transferred to the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas for consolidated pretrial proceedings.

The Company believes it has viable defenses to the allegations in the complaints and is defending the actions vigorously. At this juncture, it is not possible to accurately assess the exposure the litigation presents for the Company.

          Invamed, Inc./Apothecon, Inc.

     In February 1998, Invamed, Inc. and Apothecon, Inc., both of which have since been acquired by Sandoz, 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, alleging violations of antitrust laws and also 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 the Company’s raw material supplier. Invamed and Apothecon appealed the District Court’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Trial on the merits was stayed pending the outcome of the appeal.

Table of Contents

On October 18, 2004, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s grant of summary judgment and held that the plaintiffs have raised triable issues of material fact on their antitrust claims.

The Company believes that the suits filed by Invamed and Apothecon are without merit and is vigorously defending its position. The plaintiffs are seeking damages of approximately $120,000 as of December 31, 2000, and if successful on their underlying claims may seek to obtain treble damages. An adverse judgment in this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Medicaid Reimbursement Cases

     The Company has been named as a defendant in separate actions brought by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Suffolk County, New York; Rockland County, New York; and Westchester County, New York against numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers. The plaintiffs seek to recover damages and other relief for alleged overcharges for prescription medications paid for by Medicaid. The Company believes that it has not engaged in any improper conduct and is vigorously defending itself. However, an unfavorable outcome in any of the matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Other Litigation

     As of September 30, 2004, 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.

Revenues — Product Sales

     Product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2004 decreased as compared to the prior year primarily due to lower sales of our distributed version of Ciprofloxacin which were somewhat offset by increased sales of our generic products and our proprietary products.

Generic Products

Ciprofloxacin

16


Table of Contents

     On June 9, 2003, we began distributing Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride tablets and oral suspension pursuant to a license from Bayer Corporation obtained under a 1997 settlement of a patent challenge we initiated against Bayer’s Cipro® antibiotic. In September 2003, we entered into an amended supply agreement with Bayer that enabled us to distribute Ciprofloxacin during and after Bayer’s period of pediatric exclusivity, which ended on June 9, 2004. As a result, Ciprofloxacin was our largest selling product in fiscal year 2004. We have shared and continue to share one-half of our profits, as defined, from the sale of Ciprofloxacin with Aventis, the contractual successor to our partner in the Cipro patent challenge case. Bayer’s period of pediatric exclusivity expired on June 9, 2004 and, as we expected, several other competing Ciprofloxacin products were launched. As a result of these additional competitors, our market share and product pricing declined dramatically thereby lowering our sales of Ciprofloxacin. Sales of Ciprofloxacin are now included in the “Other generic” line item in the table above, and were not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

Oral Contraceptives

     The 13% revenue growth in sales of oral contraceptives was driven mainly by sales attributable to new products launched in the previous twelve months. The largest new product addition was Tri-Sprintec, our generic equivalent to Ortho’s Tri-Cyclen. We launched Tri-Sprintec in December 2003 in accordance with the terms of a patent challenge settlement we entered into with Ortho. Also included in new product additions was our April 2004 launch of Velivet, the generic equivalent to Organon’s Cyclessa.

Somewhat offsetting the contribution from Tri-Sprintec and Velivet sales were declines in revenues attributable to Apri, Aviane and Kariva. The Apri revenue decline was due to: (1) volume declines, both due to a reduction in overall prescriptions for Apri and a loss of market share to a generic competitor and (2) price declines resulting from the entry of a second generic product. The revenue declines in Aviane and Kariva were primarily driven by lower volume, as pricing remained relatively consistent. The volume declines appear to have been attributable to customer buying patterns, as our market share for Aviane and Kariva increased on a year-over-year basis.

Other Generic Products

     The 6% increase in sales of other generic products was primarily due to sales of our Mirtazapine Orally Disintegrating Tablet (the generic equivalent of Organon’s Remeron® SoltabTM), which we launched in December 2003, and higher sales of Warfarin Sodium (the generic equivalent to BMS’s Coumadin®) which benefited from increasing generic substitution rates, although somewhat offset by price declines. Partially offsetting these increases was a significant decline in sales of our Dextro salt combo product (a generic equivalent of Shire Richwood, Inc.’s Adderall®) due to lower pricing and lower volumes resulting from the entry of additional generic competitors in fiscal 2004.

Table of Contents

Proprietary Products

     Sales of our proprietary products more than doubled to $62.8 million for the quarter as compared to the prior-year period. This significant increase was primarily driven by the launch of SEASONALE, our extended-cycle oral contraceptive, in November 2003; sales of Loestrin and Loestrin Fe, which we purchased in March 2004; and sales of Plan B emergency contraceptive product, which we acquired in February 2004. Partially offsetting these significant increases was a decline in sales of Cenestin.

We began promoting SEASONALE directly to physicians and other health care providers in November 2003 and initiated a direct-to-consumer television advertising campaign during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, which continued into August 2004. Due to the success of this campaign, we expect to continue with direct-to-consumer advertising and expect prescription demand for SEASONALE to grow significantly over the balance of the fiscal year.

Sales of Cenestin declined as unit declines more than offset price increases taken during fiscal 2004. The year-over-year decline in units primarily reflects unusually high sales in the prior year period.

Cost of Sales

     Our cost of sales includes our acquisition cost for those products we purchase from third parties and distributed as proprietary or generic products, our manufacturing and packaging costs for products we manufacture, profit sharing payments made to third parties, including raw material suppliers, and any changes to our inventory reserves. Product mix plays a significant role in our quarterly and annual overall gross margin percentage. Though this is true for many companies, our overall margins have been substantially impacted by our sales of distributed versions of products such as Ciprofloxacin, which was manufactured for us by the innovator and distributed by us under the terms of the patent challenge settlement agreement.

The following table sets forth cost of sales data, in dollars, as well as the resulting gross margins expressed as a percentage of product sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in millions):

(1) Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 included cost of sales and resultant gross profits earned on the sales of Ciprofloxacin that we distributed as an alternative brand through June 9, 2004.

The decrease in total cost of sales, on a dollar basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the year-over-year decrease in product sales of Ciprofloxacin.

Margins on our generic products increased significantly due mainly to the decrease in year-over-year distributed Ciprofloxacin sales. As a distributed product that had a profit split paid to our partner, Ciprofloxacin had a higher cost of sales and a lower margin than our other generic products.

Margins on our proprietary products increased due to an improved mix among our proprietary products including increased sales of SEASONALE as well as higher year-over-year margins on certain of our other proprietary products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

     The following table sets forth selling, general and administrative expense data for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in millions):

  $     $ 15.7     $ (15.7 )     -100.0 %
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
         

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly year-over-year. The total for the prior year period included a $15.7 million valuation allowance we established in September 2003 for loans to Natural Biologics, LLC, as a result of an unfavorable court decision rendered against Natural Biologics in September 2003. Natural Biologics is the raw material supplier for our generic equine-based conjugated estrogens product. Excluding this $15.7 million charge, selling, general and administrative expenses increased on a year-over-year basis primarily due to (1) higher marketing costs related to

19


Table of Contents

SEASONALE, including significantly higher costs to support our direct-to-consumer advertising campaign in both television and print media and significant sampling costs; (2) promotional costs for Plan B; and (3) higher sales force costs including costs associated with preparing to integrate into Barr our previously contracted women’s healthcare sales force, which occurred on October 1, 2004, and higher costs related to our specialty sales force.

Research and Development

     The following table sets forth research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in millions):

Research and development
  $ 28.5     $ 23.5     $ 5.0       21.3 %
 
   
 
     
 
     
 
         

The increase in research and development expense is attributable to (1) higher third party development costs, primarily associated with new delivery system development programs including patches, sterile ophthalmics and nasal sprays; (2) higher production and quality related costs related to the increased number of bioequivalence studies, FDA submissions and validation batches produced; and (3) higher headcount in our clinical study and ring development programs. Offsetting these increases were lower costs associated with our bioequivalence and clinical study programs mainly due to the timing of studies undertaken and the lower cost of certain studies as compared to the cost of studies in the prior pear period.

Income Taxes

     The following table sets forth income tax expense and the resulting effective tax rate stated as a percentage of pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in millions):

Effective tax rate
    37.3 %     37.0 %                

The slight increase in the effective tax rate is the result of the negative impact from the temporary expiration of a federal research tax credit on June 30, 2004. The credit was

20


Table of Contents

reinstated on October 4, 2004, retroactive to June 30, 2004. Accordingly, we expect the rate in the second fiscal quarter of this year to decline, reflecting the cumulative benefit from the first quarter. For the full year, we expect the rate to be 36.5%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our primary source of cash from operations is the collection of accounts and other receivables primarily related to product sales. Our primary uses of cash include funding of research and development programs, marketing costs, financing the production of inventories, funding capital projects, funding the stock repurchase program and investing in business development activities.

Within the past year cash flows from operations have been more than sufficient to fund our cash needs. As a result, cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2004 were $448.1 million, an increase of $28.2 million from June 30, 2004.

Operating Activities

     Our operating cash flows increased from $65.0 million in the quarter ended September 30,2003 to $120.7 million in this year’s first fiscal quarter. Components of the $120.7 million of operating cash flows in the first quarter of this fiscal year include net earnings of $52.1 million; a $19.7 million tax benefit related to our stock incentive plans; and a decrease of $44.7 million in other receivables primarily due to a $47.5 million payment from Bayer related to a price adjustment for inventory we purchased during the second half of fiscal 2004.

Investing Activities

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $33.8 million during the current quarter compared with $23.5 million in the prior year period. The overall increase was due to a $19.3 million payment for the buy-out of future royalty obligations from the patent holder for SEASONALE. Capital expenditures for plant upgrades and expansions were $11.3 million in the current quarter, down from $13.4 million in the prior year period. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $50-60 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

Financing Activities

     Net cash used in financing activities during the current quarter was $58.7 million compared with net cash provided of $9.3 million last year. The significant increase was due to the repurchase of shares of our common stock in the amount of $63.1 million under a program we announced and initiated in August 2004. Under this program, we authorized the repurchase up to $300 million of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions through December 31, 2005. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plans totaled $5.2 million in the current quarter of fiscal 2005, down from $10.1 million in the comparable quarter last year.

Debt Repayments and Credit Availability

     On August 30, 2004, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with a bank group. The credit agreement provides for a $175.0 million, five-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility. No draws have yet been made on the credit facility, although a letter of credit in the amount of $7.1 million has been issued under the facility, thereby reducing the amount of funds available to us to $167.9 million. If and when drawn, borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on a base rate or a eurodollar rate. We may use the proceeds of the credit facility for working capital, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes (including share repurchases and permitted acquisitions). Upon entering into the new credit facility, the Company terminated its prior $40.0 million credit facility.

Sufficiency of Cash Resources

     We believe that our current cash and investment balances, cash flows from operations and un-drawn amounts under our revolving credit facility are adequate to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to capitalize on certain strategic opportunities as they arise. However, we have and will continue to evaluate our capital structure as part of our goal to promote long-term shareholder value. To the extent that additional capital resources are required, we believe that such capital may be raised by additional bank borrowings, bond offerings or other means.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company’s exposure to market risk for a change in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio of $564.3 million and variable rate debt instruments of $12.8 million. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.

23


Table of Contents

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents and market auction debt securities classified as “available for sale.” The primary objective of the investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, the Company maintains its portfolio in a variety of high credit quality debt securities, including U.S. government, state and local government and corporate obligations, certificates of deposit and money market funds. Approximately 80% of the portfolio matures in less than three months. The carrying value of the investment portfolio approximates the market value at September 30, 2004 and the value at maturity. Because its investments consist mainly 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 the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 68% of the Company’s debt instruments at September 30, 2004 are subject to fixed interest rates and principal payments. The related note purchase agreements permit the Company to prepay these notes prior to their scheduled maturity, but may require a prepayment fee based on market rates at the time of prepayment and the note rates. The remaining 32% of debt instruments are primarily subject to variable interest rates based on the prime rate or LIBOR and have fixed principal payments. The fair value of all debt instruments was approximately $37.0 million at September 30, 2004. In addition, borrowings under our $175.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate or LIBOR. At September 30, 2004, there was approximately $167.9 million available under this facility due to the issuance of a $7.1 letter of credit. The Company does not believe that any market risk inherent in its debt instruments is likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $12.8 million of variable rate debt outstanding. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates, based on the September 30, 2004 balance, would reduce the Company’s annual net income by less than $0.1 million. 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 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

     The Company maintains 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 the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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.
