The accompanying notes are an integral part of this statement 7 8 HALSEY DRUG CO., INC. 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 considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998 have been made. The results of operations for the six months period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 1998. 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, 1997 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $293,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $49,332,000. The Company incurred a loss of approximately $4,835,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Note 2 - Inventories Inventories consists of the following:

NOTE 4 - Contingencies The Company currently is a defendant in several lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company's insurance carriers have assumed the defense for all product liability and other actions involving the Company. The final outcome of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time, and accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently a defendant in a lawsuit claiming breach of its obligations under a joint venture agreement with the plaintiff concerning development and sale of a single product. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages of $20,000,000. The Company believes that the allegations contained in the lawsuit are without basis in fact. As this lawsuit is in the preliminary stages, the final outcome cannot be determined at this time and, accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Note 5 - Comprehensive Income The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, in the first quarter of 1998, which requires companies to disclose comprehensive income separately of net income from operations. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-ownership sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1998 or 1997. 9 10 HALSEY DRUG CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2.

10 11 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Net Sales The Company's net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $4,116,000 represents a decrease of $936,000 (18.5%) as compared to net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $5,052,000. This decrease is a result of a lack of sufficient working capital necessary to purchase raw materials. Additionally, certain raw materials were in short supply and could not be obtained. Without adequate inventory, the Company was unable to effectively market its products. Cost of Goods Sold For the six months ended June 30, 1998, cost of goods sold of $6,290,000 decreased as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 of $7,355,000. This is attributable to a reduction in sales combined with certain reductions in manufacturing costs primarily in direct and indirect labor. Gross margin as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was (52.8%) as compared to (45.6)% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This is attributable to a reduction in sales. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 77.9% and 53.1%, respectively. The increase is due to additional personnel costs primarily in regulatory and sales as well as increased legal expenses. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 11.0% and 9.6%, respectively. The Company's research and development program continues to concentrate its efforts toward the submission of new products to the FDA. The Company currently has three Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA's) on file with the FDA and anticipates filing an additional seven ANDA's before the year end. Net Earnings (Loss) For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had net loss of $4,835,000 as compared to a net loss of $6,005,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Included in results for the six months ended June 30, 1998 is other income of $1,900,000 that had been recorded in September, 1997 as a deferred gain on the sale of certain assets to Mallinckrodt Chemical Products, Inc. ("Mallinckrodt"). This transaction contained certain future requirements that were met in the first quarter of 1998. 11 12 THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Net Sales The Company's net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 of $2,221,000 represents a increase of $12,000 (0.5%) as compared to net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 of $2,209,000. Cost of Goods Sold For the three months ended June 30, 1998, cost of goods sold decreased by approximately $292,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease for 1998 is attributable to a reduction in certain manufacturing costs primarily direct and indirect labor. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were 73.0% and 55.3%, respectively. The increase is due to additional personnel costs primarily in regulatory and sales as well as increased legal expenses. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was 10.4% and 14.4%, respectively. The Company's research and development program continues to concentrate its efforts toward the submission of new products to the FDA. The Company currently has three Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDA's) on file with the FDA and anticipates filing an additional seven ANDA's before the year end. Net Earnings (Loss) For the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had a net loss of $3,054,000 as compared to a net loss of $2,858,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase is attributable to additional selling, general and administrative costs as well as higher interest costs associated with the 5% convertible debentures issued in 1998. Year 2000 Issue The "Year 2000" date conversion issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four digits to define an applicable year within a computer system. The Company has recently conducted a review of its computer systems and in conjunction with a program to perform an overall upgrade of its management and accounting computer systems, has installed new hardware and software that will function properly with respect to the Year 2000 Issue. Management has estimated the cost of this overall program to be approximately $160,000 which is expected to be completed during the fiscal year. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,614,000 as compared to $26,000 at December 31, 1997. The Company had a working capital deficiency at June 30, 1998 of $293,000 and $22,716,000 at December 31, 1997. On March 10, 1998, the Company completed a private offering of securities. The securities issued in the Offering consisted of 5% convertible senior secured debentures and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 4,202,020 shares of the Company common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after the deduction of related Offering expenses, was approximately $19.6 million. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Offering was completed, the Company granted the Galen Investor Group an option to invest an additional $5 million in the Company at any time within eighteen months from the date of the closing of the Offering in exchange for Debentures and Warrants having terms identical to those issued in the Offering (the "Galen Option"). In June 1998, the 12 13 Galen Investor Group exercised this option. The net proceeds of the Offering have, in large part, been used to satisfy a substantial portion of the Company's liabilities and accounts payable. Such liabilities include the full satisfaction of the Company's Bank indebtedness and related fees, payment to the landlord of the Brooklyn facility and satisfaction of outstanding judgements and liens. Such repayments have allowed the Company to avoid the threatened foreclosure sale by its Banks of the Indiana facility securing such indebtedness. Additionally, pursuant to agreements reached with other large creditors in anticipation of the completion of the Offering, including the Company's landlord and the Department of Justice, the Company has been able to bring these creditors current and is in compliance with installment payment agreements providing favorable terms to the Company. Satisfaction of the Company's current obligations to its landlord of the Brooklyn facility for accrued and unpaid rent, penalties and expenses has allowed the Company to renegotiate its lease and avoid eviction. The Offering proceeds has also allowed the Company to satisfy its outstanding state and Federal payroll tax obligations and meet current payroll tax obligations. The net proceeds from the exercise of the Galen Option have been used, in large part, to fund working capital, including the purchase of raw materials, payroll expenses and other Company expenses. In addition to the net proceeds from the exercise of the Galen Option, the Company has secured bridge financing from Galen Partners III, L.P., Galen Partners International III, L.P and Galen Employee Fund III, L.P. (collectively, the "Galen Group") in the amount of up to $1,000,000, having a term of 90 days (the "Bridge Loan"). The Bridge Loan bears interest at 10% per annum and is secured by a first lien on all of the Company's assets. In consideration for the Bridge Loan, the Company issued seven-year warrants to the Galen Group to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $2.31 per share. The Warrants are substantially identical to those issued in the Offering. The Bridge Facility was secured by the Company in order to provide necessary working capital pending the Company's obtaining a secured line of credit from a banking institution. The Company is in the process of negotiating with a banking institution to secure a $10 million line of credit. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to obtain such financing on commercially acceptable terms. In the event the Company were unsuccessful in obtaining such financing, the Company would be required to explore other sources of working capital, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or a joint venture or other marketing alliance. No assurance can be given that such sources of working capital could be secured on acceptable terms, if at all. Failure to obtain a line of credit or alternative sources of financing in the near term will materially adversely affect the Company's working capital position and financial condition and results of operations. 13 14 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company has been named as a defendant in a complaint filed with the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York on June 30, 1998 (the "Complaint") by Quality Products & Services, L.L.C.

Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On March 10, 1998, the Company consummated a private offering of securities for an aggregate purchase price of $20.8 million (the "Offering").

The Debentures and Warrants were issued by the Company pursuant to a certain Debenture and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated March 10, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, Galen Partners III, L.P., Galen Partners International III, L.P., Galen Employee Fund III, L.P. (collectively 'Galen") and each of the Purchasers listed on the signature page thereto (inclusive of Galen, collectively, the "Galen Investor Group"). In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Galen Investor Group an option to invest an additional $5 million in the Company at any time within eighteen months from the date of the closing of the Offering in exchange for debentures and warrants having terms identical to those issued in the Offering (the "Galen Option"). During June 1998, the Galen Investor Group exercised its option resulting in the issuance by the Company of 5% convertible senior secured debentures in the principal amount of $5 million and 1,010,100 warrants, 505,050 of which are exercisable at $1.50 per share and 505,050 of which are exercisable at $2.375 per share. Each of the Purchasers comprising the Galen Investor Group were accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Debentures and Warrants issued in the Offering and pursuant to the Galen Option were issued without registration under the Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Reference is made to the Company's Current report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 24, 1998 for a description of the terms and provisions of the Debentures, the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement. 14 15 Item 4.
