AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Halsey Drug Co., Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 have been made, but the financial results for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 1996. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Net sales pursuant to the withdrawn Capsule ANDA were approximately $2.15 million and $8.00 million for the six months and the year ended June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, and accounted for approximately 28% and 40% of the Company's total net sales during such six and twelve month periods. The Company instituted the withdrawal in anticipation of its release from the FDA's Application Integrity Policy list and its restrictions (collectively, the "AIP"). The FDA had placed the Company on the AIP in connection with its investigation of the Company's operations which culminated in the 1993 consent decree. Under the AIP, the FDA suspended all of the parent company's (i.e., Halsey Drug Co.'s) applications for new drug approvals, including ANDAs and supplements to ANDAs. At the FDA's suggestion, the Company retained outside consultants to perform validity assessments of its drug applications. Thereafter, the FDA recommended that several applications, including the Capsule ANDA, be withdrawn. As a basis for its decision, the FDA cited questionable and incomplete data submitted in connection with the applications. The FDA indicated that withdrawal of the four ANDAs was necessary for the release of the Company from the AIP. It is the Company's understanding that it will be removed from the AIP in the very near future. Accordingly, the Company has submitted a new ANDA with respect to the Capsules, which the Company anticipates will be reviewed on an expedited basis. However, there can be no assurance that the new Capsule ANDA will be approved or that the Company will in fact be removed from the AIP. The Company will not be able to market the capsules unless and until the FDA approves the new Capsule ANDA. Failure to obtain FDA approval for the new Capsule ANDA, or a significant delay in obtaining such approval, would materially adversely affect the Company's business operations and financial condition. 9 HALSEY DRUG CO., INC.

10 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 VS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 NET SALES The Company's net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $10,580,000 represents a decrease of $5,524,000 (34.3%) as compared to net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $16,104,000. The decrease in 1996 is attributable to the reduction in shipments of tablet and capsule products due to the sale at the end of the first quarter of 1995 by the Company of its abbreviated new drug application for 5mg Oxycondone HCL/325mg Acetaminophen tablets (the "Tablet ANDA") to an affiliate of Mallinckrodt Chemical, Inc.("Malllinkrodt") which is partially offset by manufacturing revenue that the Company is receiving as part of its agreement with Mallinckrodt. In addition, increased competition during the current year resulted of price reductions which contributed to the decrease. COST OF GOODS SOLD For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cost of goods sold of $12,094,000 represents a decrease of approximately $774,000 as compared to $12,868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease for 1996 is attributable to the reduction in shipments of tablet products due to the sale at the end of the first quarter of 1995 by the Company of the Tablets ANDA combined with significant reductions in manufacturing costs of personnel and other expenses. In addition during the current year, the Company effected price reductions as a result of increased market competition which directly impacted gross margin. The Company's gross margin (loss) as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was (14.3%) as compared to 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, research and development expenses of $820,000 increased by $331,000 as compared to research and development expenses in 1995 of $ 489,000. The Company has engaged in a research and development plan which includes the reintroduction of products suspended from shipment and the submission of several new products to the Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") for its review as soon the Company is removed from the FDA's Application Integrity program (the "AIP"), of which there can be no assurance. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 44.2% and 27.9%, respectively. These expenses increased by approximately $191,000 as compared to 1995. This increase in expenses is attributable to increased legal expenses, professional fees and rent. GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS On March 21, 1995, the Company sold the tablets ANDA and certain equipment used in the production of the Tablets for up to $5.4 million to Mallinckrodt. The Company received $500,000 of the proceeds in July 1994. Mallinckrodt also paid the Company $2,000,000 on March 21,1995 and the remainder will be payable as follows: (i) $1,000,000 upon the Company receiving general clearance from the FDA for unrestricted operations at its Brooklyn facility and written notice from the FDA that it is in compliance with certain provisions of the consent decree dated September 29, 1993 and (ii) $1,900,000 at the earlier of (a) Mallinckrodt receiving certain authorizations from the FDA or (b) September 21, 1997 (the " Deferred Payments"). Mallinckrodt also agreed to defer $1,200,000 of the Company's trade debt due to an affiliate of Mallinckrodt. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company recorded a gain of $2,288,000 for the sale of the ANDA and related equipment net of expenses related to the sale. If prior to the time it is possible for Mallinckrodt to commence production under the Tablets ANDA or any new Tablets ANDA at its own facility, and the Company ceases or is forced to cease or substantially curtail production under the Tablet ANDA, as a consequence of (i) any action or communication by the FDA or any other regulatory or governmental authority or (ii) any financial or other 11 business difficulty, then Mallinckrodt has the right to cancel payment of any yet unpaid portion of the Deferred Payment($1.9 million) and shall further have the right to a full refund of any portion of the Deferred Payment already made to the Company. The Company has revised the gain recorded on the sale of assets to Mallinckrodt and will not recognize the Deferred Payment until the earlier of (a) Mallinckrodt receiving certain authorizations from the FDA or (b) March 31, 1998. The effect of the adjustments on the accompanying financial statements is as follows(In thousands, except for per share amounts): As of September 30, 1995: In thousands except for per share amounts As Previously As reported restated -------- -------- Net earnings(loss) $ 1,297 ($ 603) Net earnings per common share .16 .15 Long-term receivable 1,900 -- Accumulated deficit ($9,589) ($11,489) INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for 1996 increased by $464,000 as compared to 1995 as a result of the private placements of convertible subordinated debentures consummated in July 1995, November 1995 and August 1996 combined with the note from Mallinkrodt. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES In 1995, the Company had a tax provision of $296,000 as a result of available net operating loss carryforwards. In 1996, the Company has no tax benefit since the available loss carryback to prior years was utilized by the net operating loss for 1993 carryback to the prior years. NET (LOSS) EARNINGS For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $8,333,000 as compared to a net loss of $603,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net loss is attributable to the gain on the sale of assets of $ 4,188,000, net of the tax provision of $ 296,000, or $3,892,000. This increaase is attributable to price reductions and discounts during the current year in an effort to meet increased competition combined with unabsorbed manufacturing costs and increases in expenses and legal fees incurred for certain subsidiary operations without any revenue being generated at the current time. 12 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 Vs THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 NET SALES The Company's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of $2,937,000 represents a decrease of $1,410,000 (32.4%) as compared to net sales for the three months ended September 30,1995 of $4,347,000. The decrease in 1996 is attributable to reductions in prices and increases in discounts due to intensely increased market competition. COST OF GOODS SOLD For the three months ended September 30, 1996, cost of goods sold of $4,354,000 representing an increase of approximately $305,000 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995. The increase for 1996 is attributable to increases in unabsorbed manufacturing costs which include costs of certain subsidiary operations which are not generating revenues at the current time as originally anticipated. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were 52.3% and 34.6%, respectively. These expenses increased by approximately $28,000 or 1.8% as compared to 1995. This increase in expenses is attributable to increased legal expenses, professional fees and rent. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for 1996 increased by $464,000 as compared to 1995 as a result of the private placements of convertible subordinated debentures consummated in July 1995, November 1995 and August 1996. NET (LOSS) For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $3,584,000 as compared to a net loss of $1,811,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase is attributable to price reductions and discounts during the current year in an effort to meet increased competition combined with unabsorbed manufacturing costs and increases in expenses and legal fees incurred for certain subsidiary operations without any revenue being generated at the current time. 13 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $507,000 as compared to $353,000 at December 31, 1995. The Company had a working capital deficiency at September 30, 1996 of $9,486,000 and $7,393,000 at December 31, 1995. In August of 1996, the Company signed an agreement with its banks which granted waivers for the outstanding defaults and extended the bank agreement termination date to December 31, 1996. As a result of the decline in shipments of solid dosage products from the Company's Brooklyn plant following the entry of the consent decree, and as a result of the lack of available borrowing under the Company's credit agreement, the Company's liquidity position has been materially adversely affected since September 30, 1993 and the Company's capital resources have been severely limited. The Company has actively sought to reduce its operating costs at the Brooklyn plant, where it has made significant reductions in personnel. In addition, the Company's liquidity position has been affected since the second half of 1994 by the discontinuance of shipments of liquid products from its California subsidiary as a result of a review completed by the Company of this liquid operation. In an effort to reduce the loss from lower revenues at this subsidiary, the Company has reduced its operating costs at the California subsidiary through significant reductions of personnel and other expenses however, the Company is still incurring operating costs which are not being offset by revenues at this time. The Company has insufficient resources to meet both its current obligations at September 30, 1996 and it long-term obligations. As previously indicated, the Company has continued to actively pursue financing as indicated by the completion of a third private placement of convertible debentures with warrants during the third quarter of 1996. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any such additional financing on commercially acceptable terms to replace its existing bank debt. The consummation of a private offering during the third quarter of 1996 resulted in net proceeds of approximately $ 2,160,000. The Company was required to use $391,000 of such net proceeds to repay a portion of its bank debt, accrued interest and legal fees as discussed in Note 3. The Company used the balance of the net proceeds of the Offering for: working capital; registration of the Underlying Shares under the Securities Act; purchase of equipment; and for research and development expenses. 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
