OVERVIEW
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company primarily engaged in 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 replacement
and oral contraceptives), cardiovascular, anti-infective and psychotherapeutics.
In addition, we have a proprietary, novel vaginal ring drug delivery system,
which 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. Our
principal executive offices are located at 2 Quaker Road, Pomona, New York
10970. We were incorporated in the State of New York in 1970.
HIGHLIGHTS
Fluoxetine Launch
In August 2001, we launched our Fluoxetine 20 mg capsule, the generic equivalent
of Eli Lilly's Prozac. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 ("fiscal 2002"),
sales of Fluoxetine were $367.5 million, or 31% of total product sales. On
January 29, 2002, our 180-day generic exclusivity period on Fluoxetine ended
and, as expected, the FDA approved several other generic versions produced by
other companies. As a result, the selling price declined dramatically and we
lost market share to competing products. Both factors caused our sales and
profits from Fluoxetine to be substantially lower than those earned during the
exclusivity period. Faced with other generic competitors for Fluoxetine, we
expect Fluoxetine to account for approximately 1% of product sales in fiscal
2003.
Merger with Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On October 24, 2001, we completed a stock-for-stock merger with Duramed
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Duramed"). Duramed, now a wholly owned subsidiary, was a
developer, manufacturer and marketer of prescription drug products, focusing on
women's health and the hormone replacement therapy markets. Under the terms of
the merger agreement, Duramed common shareholders received a fixed exchange
ratio of 0.2562 shares of our common stock for each share of Duramed common
stock outstanding. Duramed preferred stock shareholders received 5.0632 shares
of our common stock for each share of Duramed preferred stock outstanding. Based
on these terms, we issued approximately 7.5 million shares of 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 1.2 million shares of our common stock. The transaction
was a tax-free exchange, and has been accounted for under the
"pooling-of-interests" method.
2
Business Development Venture with Natural Biologics
On March 6, 2002, we entered into two agreements with Natural
Biologics, LLC ("Natural Biologics"), the raw material supplier for our generic
conjugated estrogens product. We believe that the raw material is
pharmaceutically equivalent to raw material used to produce Wyeth's Premarin(R).
Under the terms of a Development, Manufacturing and Distribution ("DMD")
agreement, we have agreed to be responsible for the product formulation and the
regulatory, manufacturing and sales and marketing activities necessary to
commercialize a generic conjugated estrogens product. Under the terms of a Loan
and Security ("Loan") 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 payments totaling $35 million based on achieving
certain legal and product approval milestones, including approval of a generic
product.
Acquisition of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On June 6, 2002, we completed the purchase of certain assets and
assumption of certain liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Enhance")
for approximately $46 million in cash. The assets we acquired included a
proprietary, novel, vaginal ring drug delivery system developed by Enhance,
which we are currently using to develop products that will address a variety of
female health issues and unmet medical needs. The transaction was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting.
Restructure of Co-Development and Marketing Alliance
In March 2000, we entered into four agreements with the DuPont
Pharmaceuticals Company that established a business relationship and resolved a
legal dispute between our two companies. In April 2002, we completed the
restructuring of two of these agreements and agreed to general terms on two
others, with Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS"), which acquired DuPont Pharmaceuticals
in 2001. The first agreement, a Product Development Agreement, was terminated.
Under that agreement, DuPont was required to provide up to $45 million to
support the ongoing development of three of our proprietary products: CyPat(TM),
SEASONALE(R) and DP3. As a result of the termination, BMS's development payments
were capped at $40 million, with the last payment made in April 2002. In
addition, we assumed sole responsibility for marketing these three products and
BMS forfeited the right to royalties on sales of products covered by the
agreement.
Under the terms of the second agreement, DuPont was responsible for the
sales and marketing of our proprietary product, Trexall, and DuPont earned
royalty payments based on Trexall sales. That agreement was also terminated. As
a result of the termination, we assumed responsibility for the promotion and
sales activities for the product using the same sales force previously under
contract with BMS. BMS agreed to continue to fund its obligation for Trexall
sales and marketing expenses for the next two years and to forfeit its royalty
interest.
When finalized, the third agreement will expand our interest in
ViaSpan, an organ transplant preservation agent. We originally obtained our
current right to market ViaSpan in the United States and Canada through
December 2007 as part of a co-development and marketing alliance. Under that
agreement, we purchase finished product, sell it under a Barr label, and pay a
royalty to DuPont. In April 2002 we reached an agreement in principle with BMS,
to extend in perpetuity, our rights and obligations for the marketing and
distribution of ViaSpan in the United States and Canada. In addition, we would
assume BMS's responsibilities for sourcing the product, coordinating
distribution and performing certain regulatory functions, and BMS would forfeit
its royalties related to the sales of the product. We are in negotiations with
BMS to finalize the agreement that would reflect these changes.
Finally, as part of the April 2002 restructuring, we reached an
agreement in principle to acquire the New Drug Application ("NDA") for Revia(R),
the brand version of naltrexone hydrochloride tablets. When finalized, we will
have sole responsibility for all aspects of product production, regulatory
compliance and sales and marketing of Revia in the United States and Canada. We
currently manufacture and sell a generic version of Revia, which we launched in
1998. We are in negotiations with BMS to finalize the Revia agreement that would
reflect these changes.
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
3
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:
o those requiring specialized manufacturing capabilities;
o those where sourcing the raw material may be difficult;
o those with complex formulation or development characteristics;
o those that must overcome unusual regulatory or legal challenges; or
o those that confront difficult sales and marketing challenges.
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.
Challenging Patents Protecting Certain Brand Pharmaceuticals
As an adjunct to our selective generic development strategy, we develop
generic equivalents of branded pharmaceuticals that are protected by patents
that we believe are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed by our products.
Developing and Marketing Proprietary Pharmaceuticals
We develop and market proprietary pharmaceutical products that we
believe may offer the potential for a longer period of market or product
exclusivity than with generic products. Although the time and cost to develop
proprietary pharmaceuticals is usually much greater than with generic products,
we believe that such products have the potential to produce higher and more
consistent profitability than the typical generic product.
Pursuing Complementary or Strategic Acquisitions
As with our Duramed and Enhance acquisitions, we will continue to
evaluate and, as appropriate, may pursue additional strategic acquisitions or
collaborations, including product or company acquisitions that we believe will
complement our existing strategies and provide new product and marketing
opportunities.
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: (i)
approval of an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA"); (ii) expiry,
invalidation or determination of non-infringement of any patent or patent(s)
protecting the corresponding brand drug; and (iii) expiration of any non-patent
statutory exclusivity applicable to the corresponding brand drug. 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. Growth in the generic pharmaceutical industry
has been driven by the increased acceptance of generic drugs as well as the
number of brand drugs for which patent terms or other market exclusivity periods
have expired.
Generic Products We Currently Market
We currently market approximately 57 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:

Warfarin Sodium Coumadin(R) Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharma Company
Set forth below are descriptions of certain products that contributed
significantly to our sales and gross profit in fiscal 2002. Product data is
derived from industry sources.
Fluoxetine. Fluoxetine hydrochloride is the generic name for Eli
Lilly's Prozac(R), which is used as an anti-depressant. On August 2, 2001 we
launched our generic Fluoxetine Hydrochloride 20 mg capsules. By successfully
challenging the patents protecting Prozac in federal court, we won the right to
launch generic Fluoxetine nearly three years earlier than would otherwise have
been possible. Sales of Fluoxetine 20 mg capsules accounted for $367.5 million
or approximately 31% of our product sales during fiscal 2002. From August 2,
2001 until January 29, 2002, we were the only distributor of generic Fluoxetine
20 mg capsules under the 180-day exclusivity period granted to us by the
Hatch-Waxman act as the result of being the first to file an ANDA challenging
the patent for Fluoxetine with the FDA, which we did in December 1995. In
January 2002 numerous other generic competitors entered the market causing a
dramatic decline in price and market share.
Oral Contraceptives. We recently became 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 have
received FDA approval for eight generic oral contraceptive products. We sell
them under the following tradenames: Apri(TM), Aviane(TM), Kariva (TM),
Lessina(TM), Nortrel(TM) 1/35 and Nortrel(TM).05/35, Portia(TM), Cryselle(TM)
and Enpresse(TM).
Warfarin Sodium. Warfarin Sodium is the generic equivalent of
Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharma'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 three generic suppliers of the product. Warfarin Sodium
accounted for approximately 14% and 13% of our product sales during fiscal 2001
and 2000, respectively, and less than 10% of our sales in fiscal 2002.
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
5
measures (psychological, educational, 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.
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 order to increase the number of ANDAs
we file annually. We filed 18 product applications during fiscal 2002. At
June 30, 2002, we had 31 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" and "Duramed" labels, through an integrated sales
and marketing team that includes a five-person national accounts sales force.
The activities of the sales force are supported by marketing and customer
service organizations in our New York headquarters.
The customer base for our generic products includes drug store chains,
food chains, mass merchandisers, wholesalers, distributors, managed care
organizations, mail order accounts, government/military and repackagers.
We sell our generic products to approximately 140 customers that
purchase directly from us, and indirectly to approximately 90 customers that
purchase our products from wholesalers. In fiscal 2002, three customers
separately accounted for over 10% of product sales: McKesson Drug Company,
Cardinal Health and Amerisource Bergen, which accounted for 18%, 13% and 12% of
total product sales, respectively. In 2001 and 2000, McKesson Drug Company
accounted for approximately 14% and 15% of total product sales, respectively. No
other customer accounted for greater than 10% of total product sales in any of
the last three fiscal years.
During the past several years the number of chain drug stores and
wholesaler customers have declined due to industry consolidation. In addition,
the remaining chain drug stores and wholesaler customers have instituted buying
programs that have caused them to buy more products from fewer suppliers. At
the same time, mail-order prescription services and managed care organizations
have grown in importance and they also limit the number of vendors. The
reduction in the number of our customers and limitation on the number of
vendors by the remaining customers has increased competition among generic drug
marketers. These pressures have not had a material adverse impact on our
business and we continue to believe that we have excellent relationships with
our key customers.
PROPRIETARY PHARMACEUTICALS
Prescription pharmaceutical products in the United States are generally
marketed as either generic drugs or as proprietary branded drugs. Brand products
are marketed under brand names through programs that are designed to generate
physician and consumer loyalty. Brand 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. Brand products have an important role
in the market following generic competition or end of other market exclusivities
due to physician and customer loyalties.
We focus our proprietary product development activities in three
categories:
o 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;
o new chemical entities in selected therapeutic categories,
including some that are marketed in other countries but not
currently sold in the United States; and
o patent protected proprietary products in late stages of
development.
We believe that pursuing these types of products, which we expect will
have some period of market exclusivity, should generate higher gross margins and
maintain profitability longer than most generic products.
6
Proprietary Products We Currently Market
We currently market three proprietary products:
Cenestin(R). In 1999 we began to market Cenestin (synthetic conjugated
estrogens, A) Tablets, a plant-derived synthetic conjugated estrogens with no
animal precursors. We acquired Cenestin as part of our merger with Duramed.
Cenestin is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms
associated with menopause. We currently market the 0.625 mg, 0.9 mg and 1.25 mg
tablet strengths of the Cenestin product and are developing other related
products. At the end of June, 2002 we gained approval of the 0.3 mg tablet
strength of Cenestin that we expect to launch in early fiscal 2003. The 0.3 mg
tablet strength of Cenestin is indicated for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal
atrophy. We have also filed a supplement to our New Drug Application ("NDA") for
a 0.45 mg tablet strength.
Cenestin competes in the $2 billion hormone replacement market with products
such as Wyeth's Premarin(R), a conjugated equine estrogens product. Recent
developments in the hormone replacement 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 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, and
NIH is recommending that women in this arm of the study continue taking the
estrogen only product.
Even though our Cenestin product was not used in the WHI study, we expect that
uncertainty regarding the risk/reward benefit of long-term hormone replacement
products could reduce the number of women who use hormone replacement therapy
for long-term therapy. However, we believe that a number of women and their
physicians will elect to continue using these products, particularly
estrogen-only therapies, such as Cenestin, for the treatment of various symptoms
associated with menopause. (See "Proprietary Product Development")
Trexall(TM). Trexall is the trademark name for our 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg
and 15 mg Methotrexate tablets which were approved by the FDA 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). In August 2000, we began marketing ViaSpan under a license
granted to us by DuPont Pharmaceuticals. ViaSpan is a solution used for
hypothermic flushing and storage of organs, including kidney, 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 transplant centers and hospitals. Since ViaSpan is sold to
a relatively small number of customers, the costs and risks assumed by us to
market ViaSpan are not substantially different from the costs and risks assumed
by us to market any of our other products. ViaSpan is patented through March
2006. We are negotiating with BMS to extend our license in perpetuity. (See
"Restructure of Co-Development and Marketing Alliance").
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.
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 severe acute
respiratory diseases that have been a leading cause of hospitalizations of
military trainees. Following completion of clinical studies and the approval of
biological license applications, we would manufacture the vaccines under
contract to the government specifically for dispensing to the U.S. armed forces.
Cenestin Line Extensions. We are committed to expanding the Cenestin
portfolio through a development program that includes the introduction of 0.45
mg tablet strength in fiscal 2004, development of a estrogen only vaginal cream
product and a combination estrogen and progestin product using a different
progestin than the one used in the WHI study. We will also continue to evaluate
the development of additional products, based on medical developments in the
hormone replacement therapy area. (See "Proprietary Products We Currently
Market")
SEASONALE(TM). SEASONALE is an extended regimen oral contraceptive that
we are developing through an agreement with the Medical College of Hampton
Roads, Eastern Virginia Medical School. The majority of oral contraceptive
products currently
7
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 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". This type of oral contraceptive regimen may be preferable to
many women whose lifestyle dictates the convenience of fewer menstrual cycles
per year. 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, submitted our NDA in August 2002, and are awaiting
notification from the FDA as to whether the NDA has been accepted for filing.
Pending FDA approval, SEASONALE could reach consumers as early as the second
half of calendar 2003. The SEASONALE regimen is protected by a patent that
expires in 2017.
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, Japan and Canada.
We have initiated a 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. The clinical studies have enrolled approximately 950 patients
at approximately 60 sites across the country. To date, approximately 650
patients have completed. We are working to complete enrollment of our Phase III
clinical trial by December 2003. Pending FDA approval, CyPat could reach
consumers as early as the second half of calendar 2005. We expect to receive
five-years of market exclusivity and we have a patent, which expires in 2018,
that covers the use of CyPat in prostate cancer patients.
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 another extended regimen 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.
Proprietary Sales And Marketing
Women's Healthcare Product Sales Force
We have a 132-person contract sales organization, provided to us by Cardinal
Market Force, that markets women's healthcare products and currently promotes
Cenestin, our largest selling proprietary product, directly to physicians. Our
contract with Cardinal expires on October 31, 2002 and we are currently
negotiating to extend the contract through fiscal 2003. The contract allows us
to convert Cardinal's contract sales people into our employees at the expiration
of the contract and we plan to do so whether or not the contract is extended. We
plan to build our women's healthcare product sales force to approximately
225-250 representatives over the second half of fiscal 2003, in anticipation of
the launch of SEASONALE. We expect to use our women's healthcare sales force to
promote additional women's healthcare products, as we develop or acquire
additional products.
Prior to July 1, 2002, Cenestin was co-promoted by Solvay Pharmaceuticals, using
180 Solvay sales representatives, in addition to the Cardinal sales force. Under
that co-promotion agreement, Solvay paid the costs for its sales force and for
the Cardinal sales force and was also responsible for the marketing and sales
promotion costs for Cenestin. In return for assuming the costs and obligations
for Cenestin, Solvay received a marketing fee of 80% of our gross profits for
Cenestin. We terminated the co-promotion agreement effective June 30, 2002.
Beginning July 1, 2002 we assumed the responsibility for all costs associated
with the Cardinal sales force and assumed all responsibility for marketing and
promoting Cenestin. We no longer are obligated to pay Solvay a marketing fee
based on Cenestin gross profits. Solvay has disputed our right to terminate the
contract and has initiated arbitration to collect damages. (See "Legal
Proceedings")
8
Rheumatology Product Sales Force
We have a 22-person contract sales force provided to us by Innovex, LP, an
affiliate of Quintiles Transnational Corp. that promotes our Trexall product
directly to rheumatologists. Costs for the sales force are being provided by BMS
under a Trexall Marketing Agreement previously entered into between Barr and BMS
(See "Restructure of Co-Development and Marketing Alliance"). We are responsible
for all marketing and promotion costs and perform the sales management function.
Our current sales force contract with Quintiles expires in December 2003. We
expect to use our rheumatology sales force to promote additional rheumatology
products if and when, they are added our product portfolio.
Transplant Product Sales Force
We employee 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 transplant centers and hospitals. We
expect to use our transplant sales force to promote additional transplant
products, if and when, they are added to our product portfolio.
Other Products
We will continue to evaluate various strategies for selling and
marketing additional proprietary pharmaceuticals, including any combination of
the following:
o entering into co-promotion or contract sales arrangements with
respect to the products;
o establishing our own sales organization and related
infrastructure; and,
o licensing our proprietary products to other pharmaceutical
companies with sales organizations sufficient to support our
products.
TAMOXIFEN
Tamoxifen Citrate is the generic name for AstraZeneca's Nolvadex, 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 case, we
entered into a non-exclusive supply and distribution agreement with AstraZeneca.
Since that time, we have been the only distributor of Tamoxifen in the United
States other than AstraZeneca. Under the distribution agreement, we purchased
Tamoxifen directly from AstraZeneca in both 10 mg and 20 mg tablets and marketed
the product in the Barr label. Our distribution agreement with AstraZeneca
expired on August 21, 2002.
Tamoxifen accounted for approximately 31% of our product sales during
fiscal 2002, and approximately 65% and 68% of our product sales during fiscal
2001 and 2000, respectively. Because we purchased the product from AstraZeneca,
our gross margins for sales of Tamoxifen were lower than our gross margins for
our manufactured generic products.
The patent covering Tamoxifen expired on August 20, 2002. AstraZeneca
has received FDA approval for a six-month period of pediatric exclusivity, which
will expire on February 20, 2003. We believe that AstraZeneca's pediatric
exclusivity will prevent other generics from launching Tamoxifen products prior
to that date. Because of the unique regulatory history of our Tamoxifen ANDA,
however, we believe that we are entitled to launch our own manufactured version
of the 10 mg Tamoxifen product during AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period.
Our regulatory authorization to launch Tamoxifen 10mg was issued prior
to the enactment of the legislation authorizing FDA to grant pediatric
exclusivity. We believe that Congress did not intend to have pediatric
exclusivity apply to products that had received regulatory authorization prior
to the date of enactment.
AstraZeneca disagrees with our views and has informally asked FDA to
block us from launching the 10 mg product prior to February 20, 2003. We are
currently in discussions with FDA regarding the status of our 10 mg approval and
expect to receive definitive guidance from FDA by mid-September. We also believe
that AstraZeneca's attempted use of pediatric exclusivity to block the launch of
our Tamoxifen products violates AstraZeneca's obligations under the distribution
agreement.
9
We expect that our cost to manufacture Tamoxifen will be lower than our
cost to purchase Tamoxifen from AstraZeneca and, as a result, we believe our
profit margins on Tamoxifen will exceed the approximately 15% margins we earn as
a distributor as soon as we begin to sell our manufactured product. Although our
Tamoxifen profit margins should improve at such time, we do expect our profits
and margin on Tamoxifen to decline over time as additional generic competitors
enter the market following expiration of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period in February 2003 (See Item 7-"Outlook" in this Form 10-K).
PATENT CHALLENGES
We actively challenge the patents protecting branded pharmaceutical
products where we believe such patents are invalid, unenforceable or not
infringed by our products. Our activities in this area, including sourcing raw
materials and developing equivalent formulations, are designed to obtain FDA
approval for our product. Our legal activities, performed by outside counsel,
are designed to eliminate the market barrier to market entry created by the
patent. 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 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 the
180-day market exclusivity as the only generic in the market for that period, we
typically seek to be the first company to file an ANDA claiming 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 select 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. 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 have distributed a Tamoxifen product that we have purchased directly from
AstraZeneca.
Ciprofloxacin. In January 1997, as a result of a patent challenge
against Bayer AG and Bayer Corporation ("Bayer"), we entered into a settlement
agreement. Under the settlement agreement, we withdrew our patent challenge by
amending our 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. In
addition, we entered into a non-exclusive supply agreement that ends at the date
of patent expiry, currently December 2003. Under the supply agreement, Bayer has
the option to either make payments to Barr or allow Barr and Rugby Laboratories,
now owned by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to purchase Ciprofloxacin from Bayer
at a predetermined discount. To date, Bayer has elected not to provide product
to us. If Bayer chooses not to provide the product to Barr, we would recognize
proceeds of approximately $31 million per year through the year ending June 30,
2003. If Bayer elects to provide us product for resale, the amount we could earn
would depend upon numerous market factors.
The supply agreement also provides that, six months prior to patent
expiry, if we are not already distributing the product, we and Rugby
Laboratories will have the right to begin distributing Ciprofloxacin product
manufactured by Bayer. The Bayer license is non-exclusive and Bayer may, at its
option, provide other non-exclusive licenses to others after Barr and Rugby
Laboratories have operated under the license for six months. If Bayer does not
elect to license any other parties and if no other party is successful in its
challenge of the patent, we expect that the licensed product will be the only
other Ciprofloxacin product in the market during the six months prior to patent
expiry. We also anticipate that Bayer will seek pediatric exclusivity, which, if
granted, could delay competition from other generics for six months beyond the
expiration of the patent.
Bayer has successfully defended its Cipro patent in two subsequent
cases and we do not believe there will be a successful challenge. We do not
expect to receive 180 days of generic exclusivity available to the first patent
challenger under the Hatch-Waxman Act.
Ortho-Novum 7/7/7(R). 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. As part
of the settlement we acknowledged our infringement of, and the validity and
enforceability of, the patent claims at issue in the case. We also agreed that
the settlement of the Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 litigation would not affect our
challenge of the same patents that also protect Ortho-McNeil's Ortho
Tri-Cyclen(R) oral contraceptive.
11
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 the improper issuance of
patents by the United States Patent and Trade 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 steps taken in
development of any generic drug. At the time an ANDA is filed with the FDA , the
generic company that wishes to challenge the patent files a certification
asserting that the patent is invalid, unenforceable and/or not infringed, a
so-called "paragraph IV certification". After receiving notice from the FDA that
its application is accepted for filing, the generic company sends the patent
holder 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 has 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 ANDA holder/patent
challenger the option 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 bioequivalent 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 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. Ultimately, in August 1999 the
FDA decided to propose a new regulatory scheme for implementing the 180-day
market exclusivity provision of the Hatch-Waxman Act. The FDA further modified
its proposed new regulatory scheme in a March 2000 industry guidance.
In general, the proposed rule and guidance would make a generic
manufacturer's ability to obtain and benefit from the Hatch-Waxman market
exclusivity provisions more uncertain. Under the guidance, the 180-day period
could begin to run when the federal district court enters a ruling finding the
challenged patent to be invalid or not infringed. This would require the patent
challenger to either begin marketing its generic product before the federal
appellate process is complete or risk losing some or all of its marketing
exclusivity waiting for the appellate process to conclude. In addition, the
proposed rule could put the patent challenger in the position of losing some or
all of its market exclusivity, if the 180-day period is deemed to have started
before the challenger's ANDA has been approved by the FDA or before the
challenger is willing to enter the market with its generic product.
We have submitted comments on both the August 1999 proposed rule and
the March 2000 guidance. At least 20 other entities, including other generic
pharmaceutical companies, innovator companies and pharmaceutical industry
organizations, also submitted comments on these proposals.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the rulemaking, the scope of the
proposed rule, and the number of comments and the complexity of the issues
covered by the proposed rule, there is uncertainty as to when, if ever, the FDA
will adopt final regulations. If final regulations are ever adopted, the
regulations would likely to be challenged in court and the outcome of such
lawsuits is uncertain.
12
In addition to the rulemaking, Congress has recently become involved in
some of these issues relating to the FDA. On July 31, 2002, the U.S. Senate
approved by a vote of 78-21, the Greater Access to Affordable Pharmaceuticals
bill, which we refer to as the "GAAP Bill". Sponsored by Senators Schumer and
McCain, the bill addresses many of the issues in the FDA rulemaking that have
been exploited by some brand pharmaceutical companies to delay generic
competition and keep the cost of important medicines unnecessarily high.
Among other things, the bill gives generic applicants and patent owners
the right to sue brand companies to have patents added to, or removed from the
Orange Book; requires brand companies to list all relevant patents on brand
drugs; and limits brand companies to a single 30-month stay for the patents that
are listed in the Orange Book when the brand drug is originally approved. The
GAAP Bill also requires brand companies to sue a generic company within 45 days
of receiving notice of a patent challenge or lose its right to sue that
particular company; clarifies that the triggering event for 180-days of generic
exclusivity is the date of a decision on a patent challenge by the appellate
court; provides for the forfeiture of the first successful generic patent
challenger's 180 days of market exclusivity if the generic company does not go
to market within 60 days of specified events; and requires generic applicants to
provide detailed notices when challenging brand patents.
While ultimate approval of the legislation is not assured, the bill is
expected to be debated by the House of Representatives when Congress reconvenes
in the fall.
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 could
possibly be delayed by six months.
The facts and circumstances of each patent challenge differ
significantly. It is, therefore, impossible for us to provide a general
conclusion as to the ultimate effect that the proposed rule, the guidance, the
new legislation or pediatric exclusivity would have on the exclusivity status of
our patent cases.
The FTC recently completed a study of patent settlements in the
pharmaceutical industry and made recommendations to Congress to modify Hatch
Waxman in certain respects. The FTC's primary recommendations include:
permitting only one automatic 30 month stay per drug product per ANDA to resolve
infringement disputes over patents listed in the Orange Book prior to the filing
date of the generic applicant's ANDA; and, requiring brand-name pharmaceutical
companies and first generic applicants to provide copies of certain agreements
to the FTC.
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
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 inherently 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 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. The FDA has the authority to revoke drug approvals previously granted.
Abbreviated New Drug Application Process
FDA approval is required before a generic equivalent or a new dosage
form of an existing drug can be marketed. We receive
13
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 same 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. To help insure compliance with the cGMP
regulations, we continue to spend significant time, money and effort in the
areas of production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance.
If the FDA believes a company is not in compliance with cGMP, sanctions
may be imposed upon that company including:
o withholding from the company new drug approvals as well as
approvals for supplemental changes to existing applications;
o preventing the company from receiving the necessary export
licenses to export its products; and
o 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.
The timing of final FDA approval of ANDA applications 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 is 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.
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.
o 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.
o 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
14
relating to safety and potential adverse effects.
o 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 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.
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 (currently 11% in the case of products sold by us which are
covered by an ANDA and 15% in the case of products sold by us which are covered
by an NDA) of their average net sales price for the products in question. We
accrue for 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 this cost of providing a prescription
drug benefits to the public and in particular senior citizens. We cannot predict
the nature of such measures or their impact on our profitability.
15
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, 2002, we had approximately 1,075 full-time
employees, including 172 in research and development and 691 in production and
quality assurance/control. Approximately 84 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, 2002, 2001 and 2000, total research and
development expenditures were approximately $76, $58 and $48 million,
respectively. The increase in research and development spending during the past
two fiscal years is consistent with the increase in 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 2003 as we increase our investment in proprietary products, pursue the
development of some unusually expensive generic products, including conjugated
estrogens, and invest in products using the proprietary vaginal ring delivery
platform acquired with Enhance.
COMPETITION
The pharmaceutical business has historically been subject to intense
competition. As patents and other basis 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; and
- increasing marketing initiatives and commencing litigation.
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. These customers also
tend to limit the number of vendors.
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: Cenestin, Trexall and Viaspan. Our Cenestin synthetic conjugated
estrogens product competes in the hormone replacement market with products such
as Premarin; Trexall competes in the rheumatology market with several different
products, including 2.5 mg methotrexate tablets; and, Viaspan competes with
several other products in the organ transplant preservation market. Pending a
final approval by FDA, our SEASONALE extended regimen 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;
16
- large independent generic manufacturers/distributors that
provide a broad line of products, including Mylan Laboratories
and Teva Pharmaceuticals;
- generic manufacturers that target categories in our product
line, such as Watson Pharmaceuticals 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, which are essential to our
business from numerous manufacturers in the U.S. and throughout the world. All
purchases are made in United States dollars, and while currency fluctuations do
not have an immediate impact on prices we pay, such fluctuations may, over time,
have an effect on our costs. Certain products that have historically accounted
for a significant portion of our revenues are currently available only from sole
or limited suppliers. Arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to certain
additional risks, including the availability of governmental clearances, export
duties, political instability, currency fluctuations and restrictions on the
transfer of funds. Any inability to obtain raw materials 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 is required, if raw materials from an approved supplier were to become
unavailable, the required FDA approval of a new supplier could cause a
significant delay in the manufacture of the drug product affected.
To date, we have not experienced any significant delays from lack of raw
material availability. However, there can be no assurance that significant
delays will not occur in the future.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS ACTIVITIES
A large number of branded pharmaceutical products are scheduled to go off patent
over the next several years and the branded pharmaceutical industry has
increased its efforts to utilize state and federal legislative and regulatory
arenas to delay generic competition, or 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
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, seeking changes in United
States Pharmacopeia standards and attempting to extend patents by attaching
amendments to important federal legislation.
The U.S. Congress is currently debating several legislative initiatives that
address various brand and generic pharmaceutical issues. Should federal
legislation be passed, it is unclear what effect it 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., 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, 2002 and indicates the location and type of each

productively and are adequate to meet current operating requirements.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
PATENT CHALLENGE LITIGATION
Desogestrel Ethinyl Estradiol (Mircette(R))
In May 2000, Duramed, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary, filed an ANDA
seeking approval from the FDA to market the tablet combination of
desogesrel/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
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. On December 17, 2001, the
District Court granted summary judgment, finding that Duramed's product did not
infringe the patent. Subsequently, BTG filed an appeal of the District Court's
decision. On April 8, 2002, we launched Kariva, the generic version of
Mircette. If BTG is successful in its appeal, we could be liable for damages
for patent infringement, which could have a material adverse effect upon our
consolidated financial statements.
Niacin (Niaspan(R))
In November 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
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 on March 4, 2002, KOS
filed suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York to prevent us from proceeding with the commercialization of this product.
The case is in the discovery stage.
On March 22, 2002 and April 2, 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 on
August 12, 2002, KOS filed suit against us in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York.
We believe that 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.
Kos recently listed an additional patent on Niaspan in the Orange Book. We are
reviewing that patent.
18
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") OrthoTri-Cyclen. We
notified Ortho pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and on June 9,
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. Motions for summary judgment are
currently pending before the trial court and no trial date has been set.
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.
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 on August 31, 2001, Merck filed the identical patent infringement action 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. On January 2, 2002, the Court in Delaware granted our motion and
dismissed the Delaware action 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 on December 14, 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. On December 17, 2001, Merck filed the
identical patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York. On January 29, 2002, Merck voluntarily dismissed
the Delaware action. We answered the New York action.
On January 18, 2002, the Court in New York consolidated the cases involving the
70 mg and 35 mg alendronate sodium products for all purposes. Discovery is
proceeding, but no trial date has been set.
We believe that 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, depending on a variety of
factors.
Mirtazapine Orally Disintegrating (Remeron(R) Soltabs(TM))
In February 2002, 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 Soltab. We notified Akzo and
Organon pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act and on May 3, 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. The case
is in its initial stages.
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.
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Capsules (Allegra(R))
In May 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
fexofenadine hydrochloride capsules ("Fexofenadine") the generic equivalent of
Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s ("Aventis") Allegra. We notified Aventis
pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act and on August 1, 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 Fexofenadine until after the expiration of various U.S. patents, the
last of which expires in 2017.
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.
19
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Tablets (Allegra(R))
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 on
September 7, 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 fexofenadine tablets until after the expiration of
various U.S. patents, the last of which is alleged to expire in 2017.
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.
Fexofenadine Hydrochloride / Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride (Allegra-D(R))
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
product. We notified Aventis pursuant to the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act
and on January 28, 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 2017.
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.
On March 27, 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. Discovery has been deferred by agreement of
the parties pending a ruling on our motion. No trial date has been set.
Norethindrone Acetate / Ethinyl Estradiol (Estrostep(R))
In January 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 on August 3, 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. Discovery
in the case is underway.
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.
Norethindrone Acetate / Ethinyl Estradiol (Estrostep FE(R))
In January 2001, we filed an ANDA seeking approval from the FDA to market
certain 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 on August 3, 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 case is in the discovery stage and no trial date
has been set.

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. The case is in
the discovery phase.
We believe that we were the first applicant to file an ANDA containing a
paragraph IV patent challenge to this product. If so, we
20
may be eligible for 180 days of generic exclusivity, depending on a variety of
factors.
CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro(R))
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
(Cipro(R)) from 1997 to the present against us, Bayer Corporation, The Rugby
Group, Inc. and others. Each case is disclosed in prior filings and are
incorporated herein by reference. The complaints allege that the 1997 Bayer-Barr
patent litigation settlement agreement was in violation of federal antitrust
laws and/or state antitrust and consumer protection laws on the grounds that the
agreement was allegedly anti-competitive. 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 33 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. Each case
is disclosed in prior filings and are incorporated herein by reference. 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 matters, 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.
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. On May 10, 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. Our motion to reconsider the latter portion of the
opinion is pending.
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
On March 31, 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 Barr'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. We believe
that Duramed's actions are well founded but if we are incorrect, the matter
could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adderall Trade Dress Infringement Suit
On May 1, 2002, Shire Richwood, Inc. ("Shire") filed a lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey against us claiming that
our generic dextroamphetamine salt combination product uses trade dress that is
similar in appearance to Shire's Adderall(R). Shire is seeking 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. On June 3, 2002, the
District Court heard oral argument on Shire's preliminary injunction motion and
took the matter under advisement. No order has issued to date. We believe the
suit is without merit, but if we
21
are incorrect, the matter could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the on-going litigation to
cause any disruption in the manufacturing and sale of our product.
Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc. Antitrust Suit
On September 5, 2000, our Duramed subsidiary filed an antitrust lawsuit against
Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc., the makers of Premarin(R). The complaint
alleges that Wyeth-Ayerst has illegally perpetuated a monopoly in conjugated
estrogens products by, among other things, inducing managed care organizations
(MCOs) to execute exclusive contracts for Premarin, thus eliminating the
possibility of our competitive product, Cenestin, being placed on the formulary
with those same MCOs. We seek actual and treble damages associated with profits
lost due to Wyeth-Ayerst's conduct in violation of antitrust laws and seek to
permanently enjoin Wyeth-Ayerst from engaging in anti-competitive and
exclusionary conduct. On August 31, 2001, Wyeth-Ayerst filed its answer to
Duramed's Complaint. The matter is in discovery.
Fluoxetine Hydrochloride Patent Infringement
On August 1, 2001, aaiPharma Inc. filed a lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against us and others claiming
that the generic versions of fluoxetine hydrochloride (brand name Prozac(R))
manufactured by those companies infringe AAI's patent. We launched our generic
version of the 20 mg Prozac capsule on August 2, 2001. If we are found to
infringe the AAI patent, we may be liable to AAI for damages that may reduce our
profits from our generic Prozac product. We believe that the suit filed against
it by AAI is without merit, but if we are incorrect, the matter could have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Lemelson
On November, 23, 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." On March 20, 2002, the court
entered on Order of Stay in the Proceedings, pending the resolution of another
suit that involves the same patents, but does not involve us.
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 May 1, 2001, the Texas Attorney General's Office, as a liason on behalf of a
group of state Attorneys General, served the Company with a civil investigative
demand relating to our settlement of our Ciprofloxacin patent challenge. At the
Attorney General's request, we entered into an agreement with the states to
allow them to investigate our Cipro settlement. In December 2001 we were
notified that the Attorney Generals closed their investigation.
In 1998 and 1999, we were contacted by the Department of Justice ("DOJ")
regarding our March 1993 settlement of our Tamoxifen patent challenge
litigation. On May 6, 2002 we received notification that the DOJ had officially
closed its investigation of this matter.
On August 17, 2001, the Oregon Attorney General's Office, as liaison on behalf
of a group of state Attorney Generals, 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. We believe that once all the facts are considered, and the benefits to
consumers are assessed, these investigations will be satisfactorily resolved, as
they have been by the DOJ and the Texas Attorney General's Office. 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 the spring of 2001 the FTC issued special orders to approximately 100
pharmaceutical companies related to an inquiry into alleged anti-competitive
practices in the entire pharmaceutical industry, including practices relating to
patent challenge settlements. We received our special order on April 30, 2001
and have provided our responses to the FTC. The FTC recently completed the
22
study of patent settlements in the pharmaceutical industry and made
recommendations to Congress to modify Hatch Waxman in certain respects. The
FTC's primary recommendations include: permitting only one automatic 30 month
stay per drug product per ANDA to resolve infringement disputes over patents
listed in the Orange Book prior to the filing date of the generic applicant's
ANDA; and, requiring brand-name pharmaceutical companies and first
generic applicants to provide copies of certain agreements to the FTC.
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.
Other Matters
As of June 30, 2002, we were involved with other lawsuits incidental to our
business, including patent infringement actions. 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.

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

Commission, or SEC.
Overview
We operate in one business segment, which is the development, manufacture and
marketing of pharmaceutical products. As discussed in Note 2 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. In June 2002 we completed the acquisition of certain assets
and assumption of certain liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
All of our financial data presented in these financial statements has been
restated to include the historical financial data of Duramed pursuant to
Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the year ended
June 30, 2002, financial information as of and for the year then ended, includes
such periods for both Barr and Duramed. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001
and 2002 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 statements of operations for the years ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 were combined with Duramed's statements of operations for the
calendar years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Barr's balance
sheet as of June 30, 2001 was combined with Duramed's balance sheet as of
December 31, 2000. Barr's statements of cash flows for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were combined with Duramed's statements of cash flows for
the calendar years ended December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
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 the
results we report in our financial statements. 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: provisions for estimated sales
returns and allowances; provisions for shelf-stock adjustments; accrual of
inventory reserves; deferred taxes; accrual for litigation; and the assessment
of recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. Below, we discuss
these policies further. 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, or it is less likely that they would 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 presently available. 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 an estimate of various costs which reduce product sales.
These costs include estimates for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and
other sales allowances. In
26
addition, we may record allowances for shelf-stock adjustments when appropriate,
as discussed under "Shelf-Stock Adjustments" below. We base our estimates for
sales allowances such as product returns, rebates and chargebacks on a variety
of factors including actual return experience of other products, rebate
agreements for each product, and estimated sales by our wholesale customers to
other third parties who have contracts with us, respectively. 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 that actual product returns, credits and other
allowances may differ from established reserves.
Shelf-Stock Adjustments
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 under invoices for future product deliveries. 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 market
share. The determination to grant a shelf-stock credit to a customer following a
price decrease is 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. When determining whether to
record a shelf-stock adjustment and the amount of any such 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 our reserves and estimates as additional information becomes available.
Inventory Reserves
We establish reserves for our inventory to reflect those conditions when the
cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. We review such
circumstances including when product is close to expiration and is not expected
to be sold, when product has reached its expiration date, or when a batch of
product is not expected to be saleable based on standards established by our
quality assurance 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. We monitor inventory levels and expiry dates on a regular basis
and record changes in inventory reserves as part of cost of goods sold.
Deferred Taxes
We apply an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary 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. 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 is recorded. If that assessment changes, a charge or a
benefit would be recorded on the statement of operations.
The Duramed balance sheets just prior to the merger had approximately $50
million in deferred tax assets which had been fully offset by a valuation
allowance. On a combined basis, we expect to utilize a majority of these
deferred tax assets. However, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," we have
not reflected the benefit associated with utilizing this asset in our statement
of operations. Rather we have restated Duramed's historical balance sheets and
adjusted retained earnings to recognize the portion of the deferred tax assets
that are more-likely-than-not to be utilized.
Litigation
We are subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business and also to
certain other contingencies (see Item 3 this Form 10-K and Note 19 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). We record legal fees and other expenses
related to litigation and contingencies as incurred. Additionally, we assess,
in consultation with our 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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
In connection with acquisitions, we determine the amounts and related useful
lives assigned to goodwill and intangibles based on purchase price allocations.
These allocations, including an assessment of estimated useful lives, have been
performed by qualified
27
independent appraisers using generally accepted valuation methodologies.
Valuation of intangible assets is generally based on the estimated 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 historical cash flows. As required by SFAS 142 "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets", we will review goodwill annually or more frequently if
impairment indicators arise for impairment.
As the result of the purchase of certain assets and assumption of certain
liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals in June 2002, we recorded approximately
$13,900 of goodwill and $28,200 of intangible assets on our balance sheet as of
June 30, 2002.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED 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, generic
Adderall, 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. As a result of these declines, sales of
Fluoxetine are expected to be $5,000 to $10,000 in fiscal 2003.
Sales of other products 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 generic Adderall(R), and increased sales of our oral
contraceptive products. The year-over-year increase in the oral contraceptive
franchise reflects 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 increasing 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 resulting, we believe, from the timing of purchases by our
customers. Our Tamoxifen sales are impacted not only by changes in the size of
the Tamoxifen market and changes in our market share but are also influenced by
customer buying patterns. During fiscal 2002, the increase in Tamoxifen volume
appears 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 Bristol-Myers
Squibb ("BMS") and the March 2000 agreements that generated these revenues were
either modified or terminated in April 2002 (See Note 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). 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 in fiscal 2002 compared to
$17,570 in fiscal 2001. The revenues ended in fiscal 2002. For fiscal 2002,
development and other revenue also includes royalty income earned under
licensing agreements with other third parties and 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 includes the
profit split paid to Apotex, Inc., our partner in the Fluoxetine patent
challenge. 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
28
product sales was due to an improved mix in product sales, as higher margin
products such as Fluoxetine, our generic equivalent of Adderall, 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 has been substantially below the margin we generally earn on
products we manufacture because we only have distributed the product as
described above.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 45% from $76,821 in
fiscal 2001 to $111,639 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.
Proceeds from Patent Challenge Settlement
Proceeds from patent challenge settlements represent 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, must either allow us to purchase Cipro
from them at a predetermined discount or make quarterly cash payments to us. To
date, Bayer has elected to make payments to us rather than supply us with
Cipro. Accordingly, we have recognized proceeds from patent challenge
settlements of $28,313 and $31,958 in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002,
respectively.
Merger-Related Costs
Merger-related costs were $31,449 in fiscal 2002. These costs relate to our
merger with Duramed in October 2001 and include direct transaction costs such as
legal, accounting and other costs; costs associated with facility and product
rationalization; and severance costs. (See Notes 2 and 17 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements).
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.
Other Income
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. 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 is primarily due to a favorable
mix in income among tax jurisdictions in the current fiscal year.
29
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
Total revenues increased approximately 21% from $490,972 in fiscal 2000 to
$593,151 in fiscal 2001 driven by increased product sales and increased
development and other revenue.
Revenues-Product Sales
Product sales increased approximately 18% from $490,330 in fiscal 2000 to
$576,656 in fiscal 2001 due to increased sales of Tamoxifen, Warfarin Sodium,
Cenestin, Apri and the launch of new products such as ViaSpan, which more than
offset declines in sales of other products due to pricing declines and/or lower
volumes.
Tamoxifen sales increased 8% from $297,395 in fiscal 2000 to $322,318 in fiscal
2001. The increase was attributable to higher prices and an expansion in the use
of Tamoxifen as measured by an increase in total prescriptions written for the
product. In October 1998, Tamoxifen was approved to reduce the incidence of
breast cancer in women at high risk of developing the disease. In fiscal 2001,
Tamoxifen accounted for 56% of product sales versus 61% in fiscal 2000.
Sales of other products increased 32% from $192,935 in fiscal 2000 to $254,338
in fiscal 2001. The increase was attributable to increased sales of Warfarin
Sodium, Cenestin, Apri and Trazodone and products introduced in fiscal 2001
including ViaSpan, which we began distributing on August 1, 2000 and
Fluvoxamine, which we launched in January 2001. Warfarin Sodium sales accounted
for approximately 12% of total product sales in both fiscal 2001 and 2000.
Revenues-Development and Other Revenue
Development and other revenue consists primarily of amounts received from DuPont
Pharmaceuticals Company for various development and co-marketing agreements
entered into in March 2000 (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements). We recorded revenue of $17,570 in fiscal 2001 and $14,584 in fiscal
2000 under these agreements. Development and other revenue also includes royalty
income earned under various licensing agreements with other third parties.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales increased 10% from $355,612 in fiscal 2000 to $391,109 in fiscal
2001 primarily due to an increase in product sales. As a percentage of product
sales, cost of sales declined from 73% to 68%. The decrease in cost of sales as
a percentage of product sales was due mainly to a lower percentage of Tamoxifen
sales to total product sales, higher margins earned on Tamoxifen due to a price
increase which occurred earlier in 2001 than in 2000 and a more favorable mix of
other higher margin products including Apri, Cenestin, Fluvoxamine, ViaSpan and
Warfarin Sodium.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 20% from $95,653 in
fiscal 2000 to $76,821 in fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily due to fiscal
2000 including a $15,000 payment to Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. as part of the
settlement of Cenestin litigation. In addition, Solvay Pharmaceuticals assumed
responsibility for the marketing and promotion of Cenestin in exchange for a
share of the Cenestin profits. As a result, in fiscal 2001, our selling and
marketing expenses related to Cenestin decreased by approximately $9,400.
Offsetting these decreases were higher legal costs related to on-going patent
challenges, legal research and preparation related to several potential patent
challenges, and costs associated with anti-trust litigation brought against us
in fiscal 2001.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased 20% from $48,171 in fiscal 2000 to
$57,617 in fiscal 2001. Approximately 61% of the increase in research and
development spending was attributable to increased raw material purchases and
internal development costs associated with maintaining a higher number of
products in development. The balance of the increase is mainly related to
increased payments to clinical research organizations for clinical and bio-study
services associated with our expanded development activities, as well as
increased payments for strategic collaborations.
Proceeds from Patent Challenge Settlement
As discussed above, the sole source of this item is amounts recognized under our
Supply and Distribution Agreement with Bayer in connection with the 1997
settlement of our patent challenge claim relating to Cipro. We recognized
Proceeds from patent challenge settlements in the amounts of $27,584 and $28,313
in fiscal 2000 and fiscal 2001, respectively.
30
Interest Income
Interest income increased 85% from $5,092 in fiscal 2000 to $9,423 in fiscal
2001 primarily due to an increase in the average cash and cash equivalents
balance, partially offset by a decrease in the market rates on our short-term
investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased 21% from $5,957 in fiscal 2000 to $7,195 in fiscal
2001 primarily due to increases in the outstanding balances of our borrowings,
principally the expanded mortgage facility with Provident Bank, as well as the
amortization of financing costs and the effect of increases in the prime rate on
the interest expense associated with our variable rate debt.
Other Income
Other income increased by 951% from $347 in fiscal 2000 to $3,648 in fiscal 2001
primarily due to the $6,659 gain realized on the sale of our investment in Galen
Holdings plc, which was partially offset by the $2,450 charge related to the
write-off of our investment in Gynetics, Inc. in fiscal 2001. The fiscal 2000
total reflects the $343 gain recognized on the warrants received from Halsey
Drug Company, Inc. (See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2001 reflected a 38%
effective tax rate on pre-tax income, compared to 43% for the year ended June
30, 2000. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2000 was negatively impacted by
providing a full valuation allowance for the state tax benefit resulting from
the loss that Duramed incurred in fiscal 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalents balance increased $108,914 or 49% to $331,257 at
June 30, 2002 from $222,343 at June 30, 2001. In connection with an alternative
collateral agreement between us and AstraZeneca, the innovator of Tamoxifen (See
Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), we have reduced the cash held
in our interest-bearing escrow account from $96,820 at June 30, 2001 to $84,834
at June 30, 2002.
The increase in cash from June 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002 was driven by $230,095
in cash provided by operations in fiscal 2002 which more than offset significant
fiscal 2002 cash outlays to expand plant and equipment (approximately $47,000),
acquire certain assets and liabilities of Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(approximately $46,000) and repay debt (approximately $32,000).
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $230,095 for the year ended June 30,
2002, driven by net earnings of $212,219, which more than offset an increase in
working capital. Working capital increased due to increases in accounts
receivable, increases in inventory, and decreases in accounts payable, partially
offset by increases in accrued liabilities. Accounts and other receivables at
June 30, 2002 were $126,398 or $5,155 higher than those at June 30, 2001, with
the increase primarily attributable to increased product sales. The $8,304
increase in inventory is due to an increase in Tamoxifen inventory as a result
of the timing of Tamoxifen sales and increased Tamoxifen purchases, and an
increase in other inventory primarily reflecting increased inventory associated
with products we intend to launch in fiscal 2003. The decrease in accounts
payable is primarily attributable to lower amounts owed for Tamoxifen purchases.
The increase in accrued liabilities is primarily due to increased amounts owed
on profit sharing agreements.
Approximately $32,000 of our fiscal 2002 cash flows from operations relates to
payments from our contingent non-exclusive supply agreement with Bayer
Corporation ("Bayer") related to our 1997 Cipro(R) patent challenge. Under that
agreement, Bayer, at its option, must either allow us and our partner to
purchase Cipro at a predetermined discount or provide us with quarterly cash
payments. This contingent supply agreement expires in December 2003. If Bayer
does not elect to supply us with product, we would receive payments of
approximately $32,000 to $34,000 per calendar year for the remainder of the
agreement. However, there is no guarantee that Bayer will continue to make such
payments. If Bayer elected to supply product to us for resale, the earnings and
related cash flows, if any, we could earn from the sale of Cipro would be
entirely dependent upon market conditions. The supply agreement also provides
that, six months prior to patent expiry, if we are not already distributing the
product, we will have the right to begin distributing ciprofloxacin product
manufactured by Bayer.
In fiscal 2002, we recorded approximately $21,184 related to the BMS agreements,
including approximately $15,584 recognized as development revenue and $5,600
recognized as Other income. In April 2002 we received our final payment from
BMS.
31
Cash flow increased by approximately $12,300 due to the reduction in federal
income taxes payable resulting from the utilization of a portion of Duramed's
federal net operating loss incurred before the merger. We expect cash flows in
fiscal 2003 to be favorably impacted by approximately $9,800 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.
Cash flows from operations are expected to decline in fiscal 2003 compared to
fiscal 2002. We expect this decline will be primarily attributable to a decline
in net income and higher expected working capital. Net income is expected to
decline primarily due to lower sales and profits from Fluoxetine, which will be
partially offset by sales from new product launches. Increased research and
development costs and higher selling, general and administrative expenses are
also expected to contribute to lower earnings in fiscal 2003. Working capital is
expected to increase to support new product launches and to reflect changes in
the working capital components of Tamoxifen described below.
Once we begin manufacturing and selling our own Tamoxifen product in fiscal
2003, the working capital costs associated with selling Tamoxifen are expected
to increase. For example, our accounts payable would be expected to decline
significantly due to lower costs to manufacture and shorter payment terms to the
Company's suppliers compared to those contained in Barr's distribution agreement
with AstraZeneca. In addition, inventory costs for Tamoxifen are expected to
decline significantly, as the cost to manufacture would be well below Barr's
current purchase price. Accounts receivable balances will be affected by lower
sales due to the launch of other generic versions of Tamoxifen and by longer
payment terms offered to customers. This increase in working capital could lower
Barr's cash balances. The extent of such decline is dependent upon several
factors, some of which are outside Barr's control and is therefore difficult to
predict.
Investing Activities
During fiscal 2002, we initiated a multi-year capital expansion program to
expand our production capacity in Virginia and Cincinnati, and our distribution
and laboratory capacity in Virginia. In addition to starting these programs in
fiscal 2002, we also continued to upgrade equipment in all of our locations.
These capital programs are designed to ensure that we have the manufacturing,
distribution and laboratory facilities to meet the expected demand of our
pipeline products and handle the increases in current product sales, including
our line of oral contraceptives.
During fiscal 2002, we incurred $47,205 of capital expenditures and expect our
capital expansion program will continue at a level of between $40 to $50 million
per year over the next few years. During that time, we will be constructing, on
our Virginia campus, a dedicated facility for the manufacture of the Adenovirus
vaccine. The cost of this facility, expected to be $6 to $8 million over the
next two years, is being reimbursed by the Federal government in accordance with
our contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
While we believe we have the cash resources to fund our capital expansion 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
and believe we have the capital structure and cash flow to complete such
financing.
In fiscal 2002, we invested $15,000 in market auction debt securities that are
readily convertible into cash at par value. The par value of each of the three
securities held is $5,000 and the maturity dates are July 21, 2003, January 6,
2004 and April 26, 2004, respectively. We may continue to invest in longer term
securities based on operating needs and strategic opportunities.
Financing Activities
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing involving unconsolidated
subsidiaries.
Debt balances decreased by approximately $32,482 during fiscal 2002 due to debt
repayments, including debt assumed in the Duramed merger. Scheduled principal
repayments on our existing debt will be approximately $3,600 in fiscal 2003. On
February 27, 2002, we replaced our previous $20,000 revolving credit facility
with a new $40,000 revolving credit facility that expires on February 27, 2005.
We did not borrow any funds under either of these facilities during fiscal 2002.
Other
On October 24, 2001 we completed our merger with Duramed. In connection with the
transaction, we incurred approximately $31,449 in direct transaction costs.
These costs include direct transaction costs such as legal, accounting and other
costs; costs associated with facility and product rationalization; and severance
costs. Amounts which remain to be paid during fiscal 2003 in connection with
these costs will not be material.
32
In fiscal 2002 we entered into a Loan and Security agreement with Natural
Biologics, the raw material supplier for our generic conjugated estrogens
product. We believe that the raw material is pharmaceutically equivalent to raw
material used to produce Wyeth's Premarin(R). Under the terms of the Loan and
Security agreement, absent the occurrence of a material adverse event as
defined, we could loan Natural Biologics up to $35,000 over a three-year period
and make payments totaling $35,000 based on achieving certain legal and product
approval milestones, including approval of a generic product. As of June 30,
2002, we had loaned approximately $4,700 under this agreement. We expect to
loan Natural Biologics approximately $9,200, $8,300 and $2,800 during fiscal
2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Loan agreement also provides for a loan
of $10,000 based upon the successful outcome of pending legal proceedings,
which could occur in fiscal 2003. The loans mature on June 3, 2007.
To expand our business opportunities, we have and will continue to evaluate and
enter into various strategic collaborations or acquisitions. The timing and
amount of cash required to enter into these collaborations may be significant.
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 meet the operations described above and to take
advantage of strategic opportunities as they occur. To the extent that
additional capital resources are required, we believe that such capital may be
raised by additional bank borrowings, equity offerings or other means.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Business Combinations/Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
141"), and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS
141 supercedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" ("APB 16") and amends
or supercedes a number of related interpretations of APB 16. SFAS 141 eliminates
the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, and
changes the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. 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
annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. We
adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001 and, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements, applied it to the June 2002 acquisition of Enhance
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. We will adopt SFAS 142 beginning in the first
fiscal quarter of fiscal 2003. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 142 will not
have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
In August 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 believe
that the adoption of SFAS 143 will not have a material impact on our results of
operations or financial position.
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In October 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 believe that the adoption of SFAS 144 will not have a material impact on our
results of operations or financial position.
33
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. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 145 will not
have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
In July 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 believe that the adoption of SFAS 146 will not have a
material impact on our results of operations or financial position.
OUTLOOK
Revenues
We expect product sales to decline in fiscal 2003 as sales from new products,
and increasing sales of certain existing products, are only expected to
partially offset lower sales of Fluoxetine and lower sales of Tamoxifen. Sales
of Fluoxetine 20 mg tablets, which totaled approximately $367,000 in fiscal
2002, are expected to be less than $10,000 in fiscal 2003 reflecting both a drop
in our market share and a significant reduction in price. Sales of Tamoxifen,
which totaled approximately $366,000 in fiscal 2002, are expected to decline in
fiscal 2003 as additional competitors enter the market following the expiration
of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity in February 2003.
The patent covering Tamoxifen expired on August 20, 2002. AstraZeneca has
received FDA approval for a six-month period of pediatric exclusivity, which
will expire on February 20, 2003. We believe that AstraZeneca's pediatric
exclusivity will prevent other generics from launching Tamoxifen products prior
to that date. Because of the unique regulatory history of our Tamoxifen ANDA,
however, we believe that we are entitled to launch our own manufactured version
of the 10 mg Tamoxifen product during AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period. Our regulatory authorization to launch Tamoxifen 10 mg was issued prior
to the enactment of the legislation authorizing FDA to grant pediatric
exclusivity. We believe that Congress did not intend to have pediatric
exclusivity apply to products that had received regulatory authorization prior
to the date of enactment. AstraZeneca disagrees with our views and has
informally asked FDA to block us from launching the 10 mg product prior to
February 20, 2002. We are currently in discussions with FDA regarding the status
of our 10 mg approval and expect to receive definitive guidance from FDA by
mid-September. We also believe that AstraZeneca's attempted use of pediatric
exclusivity to block the launch of our Tamoxifen 10 mg product violates
AstraZeneca's obligations under the distribution agreement.
We expect that our cost to manufacture Tamoxifen will be lower than our cost to
purchase Tamoxifen from AstraZeneca and, as a result, we believe our profit
margins on Tamoxifen will exceed the approximately 15% margins we earn as a
distributor as soon as we begin to sell our manufactured product. Although our
Tamoxifen profit margins should improve at such time, we do expect our profits
and margin on Tamoxifen to decline over time as additional generic competitors
enter the market following expiration of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period in February 2003.
We expect that higher sales from other products including those we expect to
launch in fiscal 2003 will partially offset the declines in Fluoxetine and
Tamoxifen sales. In fiscal 2002 sales of products other than Fluoxetine and
Tamoxifen totaled approximately $438,000 including approximately $90,000 from
our oral contraceptive products. We expect sales from our generic oral
contraceptive products to more than triple in fiscal 2003 based on expected new
product launches and higher sales of currently marketed products.
34
In the first quarter of fiscal 2003 ending September 30, 2002, we expect product
sales to decline from the September 2001 quarter as lower Fluoxetine sales more
than offset higher sales of other products. Sales of Fluoxetine 20 mg capsules
totaled approximately $175,000 in the prior year quarter. Sales of products
other than Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen were approximately $80,000 in the prior year
quarter but increased throughout fiscal 2002 to approximately $145,000 in the
quarter ended June 30, 2002. In the quarter ending September 30, 2002, we expect
sales of products other than Fluoxetine and Tamoxifen to increase significantly
when compared to the prior year reflecting year-over-year increases in sales of
existing products and contributions from expected launches including SPRINTEC,
our generic equivalent to Organon's Cyclen oral contraceptive.
We expect Development and other revenue to decline in fiscal 2003 and in the
quarter ending September 30, 2002 due to the termination of the BMS development
agreement in April 2002. Development revenue under the BMS Development Agreement
totaled approximately $15,600 in fiscal 2002. Partially offsetting this decline
will be development revenue we expect to earn under our development agreement
with Schering, AG and from reimbursements we expect to receive under the
Adenovirus contract with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Proceeds from patent challenge settlement represents amounts earned under the
terms of the supply agreement entered into as part of the 1997 settlement of
our patent challenge on Bayer's Cipro antibiotic. If Bayer does not elect to
provide product to us for resale, we expect to record proceeds of approximately
$8,600 in the quarter ending September 30, 2002, up approximately 8% from the
prior year amount, and approximately $31,000 for fiscal 2003.
Margins
Our product margins represent the amount of gross profit we expect to earn on
product sales expressed as a percentage of product sales. Margins totaled 42% in
fiscal 2002 and are expected to increase in fiscal 2003 due to several factors.
First, a declining percentage of sales from Tamoxifen, as well as higher margins
expected to be earned on Tamoxifen while we market our own manufactured version
of the product are expected to increase overall margins. In addition, the
decline in Fluoxetine sales is also expected to favorably impact margins since
the margin earned on Fluoxetine after accounting for our profit split was lower
than that earned on the average of our other products. Finally, a continuing
shift in other product sales toward products with higher margins including new
products expected to be launched in fiscal 2003 and increased sales of products
launched in fiscal 2002 should help improve overall margins.
We expect overall product margins in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to be up
slightly from the prior year quarter due to the expected improvement in product
sales mix discussed above.
Operating Expenses
We expect Selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in fiscal
2003 over fiscal 2002 levels due to higher sales and marketing, distribution and
administrative costs. We expect to incur higher sales and marketing costs
primarily due to higher anticipated promotion and marketing costs associated
with the launch of Seasonale. Offsetting these increases is expected lower sales
and marketing costs associated with Cenestin. Through fiscal 2002, our marketing
expenses included costs paid to Solvay, under a Cenestin co-promotional
agreement. On June 30, 2002, we terminated the Solvay co-promotion agreement. As
a result, in fiscal 2003, we will fund the entire amount of Cenestin sales and
marketing costs which are expected to be lower than the fee we previously paid
to Solvay. Solvay has disputed our right to terminate the co-promotion agreement
and has demanded arbitration seeking damages. We have not provided for any
potential payment to Solvay as we believe Solvay's claim is without merit.
During fiscal 2003 we expect to continue selling Cenestin through a sales force
provided by Cardinal Health ("Cardinal"). Our contract with Cardinal provides
for a fixed monthly payment based on the number of sales representatives
dedicated to the Cenestin product. The term of our current agreement with
Cardinal expires in October 2002, but we expect to negotiate an extension of the
contract and that it will remain in effect throughout the fiscal year. In
addition, we expect to increase the size of the sales force, beginning in the
second half of fiscal 2003, to prepare for the launch of Seasonale in fiscal
2004. Other selling, general and administrative expense increases include higher
distribution costs and higher expected legal costs due to an increase in patent
challenge activities and higher costs associated with defending against class
action suits relating to our patent challenge settlements.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the September quarter of fiscal
2003 are expected to be slightly higher than those incurred in the prior year
quarter due mainly to increased sales and marketing costs.
We expect research and development costs to increase in fiscal 2003 compared to
fiscal 2002 as we increase our investment in proprietary products, pursue the
development of some unusually expensive generic products, including conjugated
estrogens, and invest in products using the proprietary vaginal ring drug
delivery platform acquired with Enhance.
In the September quarter of fiscal 2003, research and development spending is
expected to be higher than the prior year for the reasons noted above.
35
Interest Income / Expense
Interest income for fiscal 2003 and for the first quarter thereof is expected to
remain flat with the prior year amounts as lower market interest rates should be
somewhat offset by higher expected cash balances.
Interest expense for fiscal 2003 and for the first quarter thereof is expected
to be less than the prior year periods due to somewhat lower debt balances.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate is impacted by several factors, including federal and
state tax law, the level of income earned in the taxing jurisdictions where we
operate and the differences in the accounting methods and treatment of certain
items for tax and financial reporting purposes. Tax legislation recently has
been enacted in several of the jurisdictions where we operate. We are currently
evaluating the impact of the new legislation but, at this time, do not expect it
to substantially change our overall effective tax rate. We expect our effective
tax rate for fiscal year 2003 and the first quarter thereof will be similar to
the tax rate incurred in the prior year.
Earnings Per Share
For the year ending June 30, 2003 we expect our earnings to be approximately
$3.85 - 3.90 per share. Our earnings guidance of $3.85 - $3.90 per share for
fiscal 2003 assumes that we will either launch our 10 mg Tamoxifen product in
the second quarter, once our existing inventories of product supplied by
AstraZeneca run out, or negotiate an extension of our distribution agreement
with AstraZeneca on both the 10 mg and 20 mg products. If we are unable to
supply Tamoxifen during some portion of AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity
period, we will lose projected revenues and profits during that interruption.
Depending on the duration of the supply interruption, our projected earnings for
fiscal 2003 could be adversely affected by as much as 5% to 8%, assuming that
all other factors are unchanged. Because future performance is impacted by many
variables, and the ability to supply Tamoxifen is just one of them and because
we believe we currently have the legal right to launch our own generic version
of the 10 mg Tamoxifen tablet during AstraZeneca's pediatric exclusivity, we are
not changing our guidance for fiscal 2003 at this time.
Our earnings per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2002 is expected to
decline compared to the $1.56 reported in the prior year's quarter. The
contribution of Fluoxetine 20 mg capsules to the prior year's total is not
separately and definitively determinable because we do not prepare individual
income statements for each product. However, Fluoxetine's contribution was
significant to our first quarter fiscal 2002 results based on sales of
approximately $175,000 in that quarter and a margin of approximately 48%. In
addition, we believe the ultimate resolution of the Tamoxifen matter described
above will not materially affect our earnings guidance for the quarter ending
September 30, 2002 assuming that all other factors are unchanged. Based on this,
we are not changing our earnings guidance of $.80 - $.85 per share for the
quarter at this time.
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 $346 million and debt instruments of
approximately $48 million. We do not use derivative financial instruments.
Our investment portfolio consists of cash and cash equivalents and marketable
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 securities, including
U.S.
36
government and corporate obligations, certificates of deposit and money market
funds. Ninety-six percent of our portfolio matures in less than three months.
The carrying value of the investment portfolio approximates the market value at
June 30, 2002. Because our investments are diversified and are of relatively
short maturity, a hypothetical 1 or 2 percentage point change in interest rates
would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Approximately 59% of our debt instruments at June 30, 2002, 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 41% 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 is
approximately $43 million at June 30, 2002. In addition, borrowing under our $40
million 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. At June 30, 2002 there were no amounts outstanding
under the Revolver. We do not believe that any risk inherent in these
instruments is likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial
statements.

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, 2002 and
2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30,
2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed at Item
14. 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 2 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 years ended December
31, 2000 and 1999, which statements reflect total assets of $136,587, $81,966,
and $80,773 as of June 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively, and total revenues of $59,831, $83,465, and $50,220 for the
respective periods then ended. The financial statements of Duramed for such
period were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us,
and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Duramed for
such periods, are 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 Barr 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
the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Barr Laboratories, Inc. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2002
and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended June 30, 2002 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, present fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
We also audited the adjustments described in Note 2 that were applied to restate
the June 30, 2001, December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 financial statements
of Duramed. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been
properly applied.

years in the period ended December 31, 2001 (not presented separately herein).
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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
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 26% of the
outstanding common stock of the Company at June 30, 2002. Dr.
Bernard C. Sherman is a principal stockholder of Sherman
Delaware, Inc. and a Director of Barr Laboratories, Inc. (see
Note 12).
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 replacement 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 and
pursuant to Regulation S-X of the 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 2).
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 years
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, financial information for Barr's
fiscal years ended June 30th was combined with financial
information for Duramed's calendar years ended December 31st.
Barr's consolidated statements of operations for the years
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were combined with Duramed's
statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. Barr's balance sheet as of June 30,
2001 was combined with Duramed's balance sheet as of December
31, 2000. Barr's statements of cash flows for the fiscal years
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were combined with Duramed's
statements of cash flows for the calendar years ended December
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
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 will be able to utilize a
majority of these deferred tax assets (see Note 2). 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.
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have
been reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.
F-9
(b) Credit and Market Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing
investments and trade receivables. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and, consistent with industry practice, generally
does not requires collateral from its customers.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid
investments including market auction securities 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, 2002 and 2001, $84,834 and $96,820,
respectively, of the Company's cash was held in an interest
bearing escrow account. Such amounts represent the portion of
the Company's payable balance with AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals
LP ("AstraZeneca"), which the Company has decided to secure in
connection with its cash management policy.
In December 1995, the Company and AstraZeneca, the innovator
of Tamoxifen, entered into an Alternative Collateral Agreement
("Collateral Agreement") which suspends certain sections of
the Supply and Distribution Agreement ("Distribution
Agreement") entered into by both parties in March 1993. Under
the Collateral Agreement, extensions of credit to the Company
are no longer required to be secured by a letter of credit or
cash collateral. However, the Company may at its discretion
maintain a balance in the escrow account based on its
short-term cash requirements. In return for the elimination of
the cash collateral requirement and in lieu of issuing letters
of credit, the Company has agreed (i) to pay AstraZeneca
monthly interest based on the average unsecured monthly
Tamoxifen payable balance, as defined in the Collateral
Agreement, and (ii) to comply with certain financial
covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants
at June 30, 2002.
(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 those
conditions when the cost of the inventory is not expected to
be recovered. The Company regularly reviews such circumstances
including when product is close to expiration and is not
expected to be sold, when product has reached its expiration
date, or when a batch of product is not expected to be
saleable based on standards established by the Company's
quality assurance 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 changes in inventory
reserves as part of cost of goods sold.
(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. 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 3-10
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred;
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
(f) Research and Development
Research and development costs, which consist principally of
product development costs, are charged to operations as
incurred.
F-10
(g) Earnings Per Share
On May 31, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
3-for-2 stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock
dividend. Approximately 11.6 million additional shares of
common stock were distributed on June 29, 2000 to shareholders
of record as of June 12, 2000.
As discussed in Note 2, on October 24, 2001, the Company
completed a merger with Duramed where the Company issued
approximately 7.5 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 1.2 million shares of the
Company's common stock.
All applicable prior year share and per share amounts have
been adjusted for the stock split and 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:
2002 2001 2000

(h) 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
2002, 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 $454 and
$1,074 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are included
in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(i) 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 7).
F-11
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
(see Note 8).
Long-Term Debt - The fair value at June 30, 2002 and 2001 is
estimated at $43 million and $71 million, respectively.
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,
2002. 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.
(j) 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
requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and 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 reserves and goodwill and
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.
(k) Income 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 differences between the financial
statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, and
for operating and capital losses and tax credit carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred
tax assets which are "more-likely-than-not" to be unrealized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates and laws.
(l) Revenue Recognition
Product sales
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when
substantially all risks and rights of ownership have
transferred.
Development and other revenue
Barr earned revenues under the DuPont research and development
agreements (see Note 3) as Barr performed the related research
and development. Amounts received under these agreements are
not refundable. For the years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
Development and other revenue included $562 and $2,584,
respectively, related to transition revenues under the ViaSpan
Agreement (see Note 3).
(m) Sales returns and allowances
At the time of sale, the Company records estimates for various
costs, which reduce product sales. These 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.
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating
to the above provisions, of $93,789 and $44,293 at June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively.
Estimates for sales allowances such as product returns,
rebates and chargebacks are based on a variety of factors
including actual return experience of other 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
F-12
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.
In the generic pharmaceutical industry, manufacturers such as
Barr often issue credits to customers following decreases in
the market price of a generic pharmaceutical product (also
known as shelf-stock adjustments). The shelf-stock adjustment
is intended to reduce a customer's inventory cost to better
reflect current market prices and is often used to maintain
market share. The determination to grant a shelf-stock credit
to a customer following a price decrease is at the Company's
discretion, and is not pursuant to contractual agreements with
customers. Allowances for shelf-stock adjustments are recorded
at the time Barr sells products it believes will be subject to
such adjustments. The timing and amount of a reserve for
shelf-stock adjustments depends on several variables including
the estimated launch date of a competing product, estimated
declines in market price and estimated levels of inventory
held by the customer. 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.
(n) 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
throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada,
primarily to wholesale and retail distributors. In fiscal
2002, three customers accounted for over 10% of product sales
with 18%, 13% and 12% of sales. In fiscal 2001 and 2000, a
single customer accounted for approximately 14% and 15% of
product sales, respectively.
(o) Asset Impairment
The Company reviews the carrying value of its 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.
(p) New Accounting Pronouncements
Business Combinations/Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 supercedes APB
Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" ("APB 16") and amends
or supercedes a number of related interpretations of APB 16.
SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations, and changes the criteria
to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. 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 Company
adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001 and, as discussed in Note 2,
applied it to the June 2002 acquisition of Enhance
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The provisions of SFAS 142 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The
Company will adopt SFAS 142 beginning in the first fiscal
quarter of fiscal 2003. The Company believes that the adoption
of SFAS 142 will not have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
In August 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
F-13
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 believes that the adoption of SFAS 143 will
not have a material impact on its results of operations or
financial position.
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
In October 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
believes that the adoption of SFAS 144 will not have a
material impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
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. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS
145 will not have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial condition. Upon adoption, amounts
previously recorded as extraordinary items will be
reclassified into current operations.
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities
In July 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 believes that the adoption of
SFAS 146 will not have a material impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
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 replacement 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-
F-14
interests for financial reporting purposes.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Duramed common shareholders
received a fixed exchange ratio of 0.2562 shares of Barr common stock
for each share of Duramed common stock. Duramed preferred stock
shareholders received 5.0632 shares of Barr common stock for each share
of Duramed preferred stock. Based on these terms, Barr issued
approximately 7.5 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 1.2 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.
The combined amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements
are based on the basis of presentation described in Note 1 and are
summarized below:

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. 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 were expensed to
the Consolidated Statement of Operations upon acquisition because
technological feasibility, through FDA or comparable regulatory body
approval, had not been established and the projects had no further
alternative use.
(3) DUPONT PHARMACEUTICALS COMPANY STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
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
the proprietary product development funding agreement and the Trexall
Marketing Agreement that were forged 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((TM)) 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 $15,343, $12,008 and $8,000 for the years
ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively and reported $0,
$1,835 and $8,000, respectively, as an offset to the warrant
subscription receivable described in Note 14.
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 over the next two
years and paid Barr $600 to cover BMS' other obligations during the
term of the contract. For the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
the Company earned $0, $5,000 and $4,000, respectively, related to this
agreement. For the year ended June
F-16
30, 2000, the Company reported the $4,000 identified above as an
offset to the warrant subscription receivable described in Note
14.
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 years ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, the Company earned $562 and $2,584,
respectively, during this transition period. For the year ended
June 30, 2000, the Company reported the $2,584 identified above
as an offset to the warrant subscription receivable described in
Note 14. Under an agreement in principle reached in April 2002,
to amend the existing ViaSpan Marketing Agreement, BMS agreed to
extend Barr's rights and obligations for the marketing and
distribution of ViaSpan in the United States and Canada. If a
final agreement is reached, Barr will assume BMS'
responsibilities for sourcing the product; coordinating
distribution and performing certain regulatory functions and BMS
will forego any further royalties related to sales of the
product.
(4) PROCEEDS FROM PATENT CHALLENGE SETTLEMENT
In January 1997, Bayer AG and Bayer Corporation ("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, Bayer, at its sole
option can (i) either allow Barr and Rugby Laboratories, now
owned by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 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. Further, the
Supply Agreement also provides that, six months prior to patent
expiry, currently July 2003, if Barr is not already distributing
the product, Barr and Rugby Laboratories will have the right to
begin distributing ciprofloxacin product manufactured by Bayer.
The Bayer license is non-exclusive and Bayer may, at its option,
provide other non-exclusive licenses to others after Barr and
Rugby Laboratories have operated under the license for six
months.
If Bayer elects to supply Barr and Rugby Laboratories with
product for resale in the market, the amount Barr and Rugby
Laboratories could earn would be dependent upon numerous market
factors including, the existence of competing products, market
acceptance of the Barr product and pricing decisions. If Bayer
elects not to allow Barr and Rugby Laboratories to purchase
product for resale, Barr is entitled to receive cash payments
during the remainder of the agreement that could range from $32
to $34 million per calendar year through December 31, 2003. As of
June 30, 2002, the present value of the cash payments Barr may
receive approximates $47.0 million. However, there is no
guarantee that Bayer will continue to elect to make cash
payments.
Barr recognizes the amounts due under the Supply Agreement as
such amounts are realized based on the outcome of Bayer's
election. The amounts realized are reported as Proceeds from
patent challenge settlement.

(7) MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The Company's investments in marketable securities are classified as
"available for sale" and, accordingly, are recorded at current market
value with offsetting adjustments to shareholders' equity, net of
income taxes.
Debt Securities
The Company has invested $15,000 in market auction debt securities,
which are readily convertible into cash at par value, which
approximates cost. The par value of each of the three securities held
is $5,000 and the maturity dates are July 21, 2003, January 6, 2004 and
April 26, 2004, respectively.
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, 2002 and 2001, respectively: dividend yield of 0%; expected
volatility of 103.3% and 121.7%; risk-free interest rate of 5.78%; and
expected life of 1.75 and 2.75 years.
The amortized cost and estimated market values of marketable securities

Goodwill, Patents and Licenses / Agreements
The Company recorded goodwill in connection with its June 2002
acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of
Enhance Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which included certain patents and
license agreements (see Note 2).
Loan receivable
The Loan receivable relates to loans made to Natural Biologics LLC
under the terms of the Natural Biologics Loan and Security Agreement
dated June 3, 2002. The loans are secured by a security interest in
inventory and certain other assets of Natural Biologics LLC and bear
interest at the applicable federal rate as defined by the loan
agreement (4.66% at June 30, 2002). All amounts owed under that
agreement are due on June 3, 2007 (see Note 19).
Investments
Investment in GliaMed, Inc.
Included in Other assets for the year ended June 30, 2002, is the
Company's investment in GliaMed, Inc. ("GliaMed"), a private company
that has created a platform of compounds designed for the treatment of
neurodegeneration diseases and primary brain cancers.
In January 2002, the Company purchased 364,583 of GliaMed Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock for $500. The Company's investment
represents less than 20% of the outstanding voting shares of GliaMed.
The Company does not
F-19
have the ability to exercise significant influence on GliaMed's
operations and there was no readily determinable market value for the
GliaMed Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, therefore, this
investment has been accounted for using the cost method. A director of
the Company is the Chairman of GliaMed (see Note 12).
Investment in Gynetics, Inc.
In September 1998, the Company made an investment in Gynetics that
represented less than 20% of Gynetics' outstanding voting shares. Barr
did not have the ability to exercise significant influence on Gynetics'
operations and there was no readily determinable market value,
therefore, the Company accounted for this investment using the cost
method of accounting.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2000, the Company reviewed the
valuation of its investment related to Gynetics in light of numerous
negative events that occurred in the quarter including product
development delays and threatened litigation. Due to these events as
well as continued operating difficulties at Gynetics that included
extensive losses and negative operating cash flow, Barr concluded as of
September 30, 2000, that its investment related to Gynetics was other
than temporarily impaired and that as of September 30, 2000, its
investment related to Gynetics should be written down to $0, the
current realizable value.
(9) ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Included in Accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2002 and 2001 is
approximately $23,175 and $1,056, respectively, related to amounts due
under various profit sharing agreements related primarily to raw
material supply arrangements.

(a) The Senior Unsecured Notes of $24,285 include a $20,000, 7.01%
Note due November 18, 2007 and $4,285, 6.61% Notes due
November 18, 2004. Annual principal payments under the Notes
total $1,427 through November 2002, $5,429 in 2003 and 2004,
and $4,000 in 2005 through 2007.
The Senior Unsecured Notes contain certain financial covenants
including restrictions on dividend payments not to exceed $10
million plus 75% of consolidated net earnings subsequent to
June 30, 1997. The Company was in compliance with all such
covenants as of June 30, 2002.
(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 (4.75% at
June 30, 2002) and requires monthly payments of
F-20
$100 plus interest for a ten-year period commencing April 1,
2000. The $8,000 note bears interest at the prime rate and
requires monthly payments of $33 plus interest commencing 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 require no principal payment for the first two
quarters; bear interest quarterly at a rate equal to the
London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 125 basis points; and
have a term of 72 months. LIBOR was 1.86% and 3.84% at June
30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.
(d) The initial term of the financing agreement with Foothill
Capital Corporation ("Foothill") was through November 2002,
with provisions for renewals. The financing agreement provided
for a revolving credit facility, collateralized by the
Company's trade receivables and two term notes. In connection
with the Duramed merger, the financing agreement with Foothill
Capital Corporation was terminated and all outstanding
balances were paid in November 2001. As a result of the
termination of the facility, the Company wrote-off
approximately $247 in previously deferred financing costs,
which resulted in an extraordinary loss. This extraordinary
loss, net of taxes of $87, was $160.
(e) The note payable to a contract sales organization represented
the initial cost to establish the brand sales force that
represents the Company's Cenestin product to the physician
community. The firm with which the Company agreed to establish
and manage the dedicated sales force agreed to finance its own
startup costs over the 36-month term of the agreement in
exchange for a monthly principal and interest payment by the
Company. All outstanding principal and interest was repaid by
the Company as of June 30, 2002.
(f) The Company currently has no outstanding borrowings under its
$40,000 Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolver") with
Bank of America, NA, which replaced its previous $20,000
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility in February 2002.
Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest based on the
greater of either prime or the Federal Funds Rate, or LIBOR.
In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee
based upon a calculation currently equal to 0.25% of the
difference between the outstanding borrowings and $40,000. The
Revolver expires in February 2005.
Principal maturities of existing long-term debt for the next five
years and thereafter are as follows:
Year Ending

(11) MANDATORY 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 to shares of the
Company's common stock at a fixed price of $5.06 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 128,105 shares of common
stock at a price of $21.47 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 202,530 and 303,794
shares,
F-21
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 6,063 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.
Series F
In February 1998, the Company issued $12,000 in Series F convertible
preferred stock, which as of February 3, 2000 had been converted in
full into shares of common stock.
(12) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At June 30, 2002 and 2001, as a result of the merger with Duramed, the Company
had cumulative net operating loss
F-23
carryforwards of approximately $66,900 and $110,000, 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 which expire in the years 2003
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 which,
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.
(14) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Employee Stock Option Plans
The Company has two stock option plans, 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 at a price equal
to the market price on the date of grant. Effective June 30, 1996,
options are no longer granted under the 1986 Option Plan. For fiscal
2002, 2001 and 2000, there were no options that expired under this
plan.
All options granted prior to June 30, 1996, under the 1993 Option Plan
and 1986 Option Plan, are 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 merger. Options granted after October 24, 2001 are
exercisable between one, three 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 30,000 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 merger and the remaining discount of $615 was
expensed.
In addition, the Company has options outstanding under the terms of
various former Duramed plans. This includes 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 vested as of October 24, 2001, the effective date of the
merger except for, as provided by the Plan, certain senior executives
of Duramed. 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 will not be granted under these
plans.
A summary of the activity for the three fiscal years ended June 30,
2002 is as follows:

under any of the other option plans discussed above.
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plans
During fiscal year 1994, the shareholders ratified the adoption by the
Board of Directors of the Barr Laboratories, Inc. 1993 Stock Option
Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Directors' Plan"). This plan,
among other things, enhances the Company's ability to attract and
retain experienced directors. In October 1999, the number of shares
which each non-employee director is optioned was decreased from 7,500
to 5,000 shares on the grant date. Effective October 2000, as a result
of Barr's 3-for-2 stock split in June 2000, the number of shares which
each non-employee director is optioned is 7,500 shares on the grant
date.
All options granted under the 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.
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 2,562 shares of common stock.
Annually, each then serving non-employee director, other than a new
director, was also automatically granted options to purchase 1,281
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.
On October 24, 2001, all outstanding options under the Directors' Plan
and the 1991 Duramed Directors' Plan became fully vested upon
completion of the merger.
The following is a summary of activity for the three fiscal years ended
June 30, 2002:

only, because options are no longer granted under the 1991 Duramed
Directors' 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
675,000 shares of common stock at approximately 85% of the fair market
value of such shares. Under the Purchase Plan, 29,651, 50,295 and
60,874 shares of common stock were purchased during the years ended
June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 102,480 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $97.58 per share. These warrants were repriced on
September 12, 1997 to $39.03 per share. The warrants had a term of
five years and were fully vested as of March 25, 1999. During calendar
year 2000, based on an antidilutive clause in the purchase contract,
the exercise price was adjusted to $34.29 and the number of warrants
to purchase shares of the Company's common stock was adjusted to
116,509. As of June 30, 2002, there were no warrants outstanding.
On June 5, 1997, in connection with the issuance of Series E preferred
stock, the Company granted warrants to purchase 5,124 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $16.83 per share. The
warrants vested immediately and, unless sooner exercised, expired on
June 5, 2000.
On February 4, 1998, in conjunction with the issuance of the Series F
preferred stock, the Company granted warrants to purchase 140,916
shares of the Company's common stock. Of the total amount, warrants for
128,106 shares were issued to investors of the Series F preferred stock
F-26
at an exercise price of $22.40 per share. These warrants vested on
October 2, 1998 and expire on October 2, 2002. The warrants require
for-cash exercise unless the Company elects to allow a cashless
exercise. As of June 30, 2002, warrants for 128,106 shares granted to
investors of the Series F preferred stock were outstanding. The
remaining 12,810 warrants were granted at an exercise price of $20.37
per share. The warrants vested immediately and expired on February 4,
2001. As of June 30, 2002, 11,145 warrants were exercised and 1,665
warrants expired.
During 1999, in conjunction with an amendment to a financing agreement,
the Company granted to its bank warrants to purchase 28,182 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $49.92. 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 $35.13 per share. During
2000, based on an antidilutive clause in the agreement, the number of
warrants was adjusted to 29,485. The price of 14,856 warrants was
adjusted to $47.35 and the remaining 14,630 warrants were repriced to
$33.83. In November 2001 and January 2002 a total of 25,464 of the
warrants were exercised. As of June 30, 2002, warrants for 4,021 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 128,105 common shares
at a price of $21.47 per share. The warrants vested immediately and
expire on May 12, 2005. As of June 30, 2002, all of these warrants
remained outstanding.
DuPont Warrants / Warrant Subscription Receivable
The Company issued warrants granting DuPont the right to purchase
750,000 shares of Barr's common stock at $31.33 per share, and 750,000
shares at $38.00 per share, respectively. Each warrant is immediately
exercisable and expires in March 2004. As of June 30, 2001, DuPont had
sold its rights to all the warrants to other third parties. None of the
options have been exercised as of June 30, 2002.
In connection with the issuance of such warrants, the Company recorded
$16,418 as the fair value of the warrants as a subscription receivable
in the shareholders' equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet
at June 30, 2000. The amount was calculated using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions at the grant date:
dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 38%; weighted-average
risk-free interest rate of 7.13% and expected term of 4 years. For the
years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company applied $1,835 and
$14,584, respectively, earned under the three agreements with DuPont as
a reduction of the warrant subscription receivable. In September 2000,
when the warrant receivable was reduced to zero, the Company began to
report all revenues earned under the DuPont agreements as Development
and other revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
Interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock
option plans and its stock purchase plan. Had compensation cost for the
Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the
fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent
with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share
would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
2002 2001 2000
---- ---- ----
Net earnings applicable As reported $ 210,269 $ 62,566 $ 10,305
to common shareholders Pro forma $ 192,697 $ 56,671 $ 6,221
Net earnings per share As reported $ 4.88 $ 1.49 $ 0.26
Pro forma $ 4.47 $ 1.35 $ 0.16
Net earnings per share- As reported $ 4.63 $ 1.40 $ 0.25
assuming dilution Pro forma $ 4.24 $ 1.27 $ 0.15
The weighted average fair value of the options granted at market during
the years ended June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $25.66, $20.49 and
$13.19 per share, respectively. 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 $42.02 per share. The fair values were
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following assumptions for 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 46.96%,
51.30% and 54.84%; weighted-average risk-free interest rates of 3.62%,
5.25% and 6.01%; and expected option lives of 3 years for all plans.
F-27
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
2.

(15) 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 12% of their earnings before or after
taxes. The Company is required, pursuant to the terms of its union
contract, to contribute to each union employee's account an amount
equal to the 2% minimum contribution made by such employee. 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 $4,790, $3,304 and $2,953 for the years ended
June 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 2002, 2001 and 2000,
the Company chose to make contributions at the 10% rate to this plan.
As of June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had an asset and matching
liability for the Excess Plan of $1,394 and $847, 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, 2002, the Company has recorded
$490 as a long-term liability representing the present value of the
estimated
F-28
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.
(16) OTHER INCOME
A summary of other income is as follows:

------- ------- -------
Other income $ 7,656 $ 3,648 $ 347
======= ======= =======
For the year ended June 30, 2001, the net gain on sale of securities
consists primarily of the gain realized on the sale of the investment
in Galen Holdings plc, formerly Warner Chilcott plc.
For the year ended June 30, 2000, loss on sale of securities included a
$343 gain resulting from the receipt of 500,000 warrants from Halsey
Drug Company, Inc. in exchange for rights to several pharmaceutical
products (see Note 7).
(17) MERGER-RELATED COSTS
As a result of the acquisition of Duramed discussed in Note 2, 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 include 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 are not tax deductible. The severance costs include
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 approximately $3,600 in involuntary
termination benefits, for approximately 103 people, have been paid and
charged against the liability leaving a remaining liability balance of
approximately $1,600. Approximately $700 of the remaining $1,600
liability relates to severance and change in control payments which are
expected to be paid over the next twelve months. The balance of $900
primarily relates to lease commitments which will be paid over the next
two fiscal years.
(18) 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
10,000 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately
$695.
(19) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 $1,444, $2,043 and
F-29
$2,545 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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, 2002. Such payments total $3,981 for operating leases. The net
present value of such payments on capital leases was $6,676 after
deducting executory costs and imputed interest of $271 and $1,755,
respectively.

Product Liability
The Company maintains primary and excess layers of product liability
insurance up to $15,000 and additional excess coverage for claims from
$25,000 to $50,000. No significant product liability suit has ever been
filed against the Company. However, if one were filed and such a case
were successful against the Company, it could have a material adverse
effect upon the business and financial condition of the Company to the
extent such judgment was not covered by insurance or exceeded the
policy limits.
Business Development Venture
In fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a Loan and Security ("Loan")
agreement with Natural Biologics, the raw material supplier of its
generic conjugated estrogens product. The Company believes that the
raw material is pharmaceutically equivalent to raw material used to
produce Wyeth's Premarin(R). Under the terms of the loan agreement,
absent the occurrence of a material adverse event as defined, the
Company could loan Natural Biologics up to $35,000 over a three-year
period and make payments totaling $35,000 based on achieving certain
legal and product approval milestones, including approval of a generic
product. The Company expects to loan Natural Biologics approximately
$9,200, $8,300 and $2,800 during fiscal 2003, 2004 and 2005,
respectively. The Loan agreement also provides for a loan of $10,000
based upon the successful outcome of pending legal proceedings, which
could occur in fiscal 2003. The loans mature on June 3, 2007. As of
June 30, 2002, the Company had loaned approximately $4,700 under this
agreement (See Note 8).
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 within the next 12
years.
Class Action Lawsuits
To date, the Company has been named in 38 class action complaints filed
in state and federal courts by direct and indirect purchasers of
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro(R)) from 1997 to present against the Company,
Bayer Corporation, The Rugby Group, Inc. and others. The complaints
allege that the 1997 Bayer-Barr patent litigation settlement agreement
was in violation of federal antitrust laws and/or state antitrust and
consumer protection laws on the grounds that the agreement was
allegedly anti-competitive.
To date, approximately 33 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. The complaints
allege, among other things, that the 1993 settlement of patent
litigation between Zeneca, Inc. and the Company violates the antitrust
laws, insulates Zeneca, Inc. and the Company from generic competition
and enables Zeneca, Inc. and Barr to charge artificially inflated
prices for Tamoxifen Citrate.
The Company believes that each of its agreements with Bayer Corporation
and Zeneca, Inc., respectively, is a valid settlement to a patent suit
and cannot form the basis of an antitrust claim. Although it is not
possible to forecast the
F-30
outcome of these matters, the Company intends to vigorously defend
itself. It is anticipated that these matters may take several years to
be resolved but an adverse judgment could have a material adverse
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Invamed, Inc./Apothecon, Inc. 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 judgement 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. 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.
Fluoxetine Hydrochloride Suits
On August 1, 2001, aaiPharma Inc. ("AAI") filed a lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
against Barr and others claiming that the generic versions of Prozac
manufactured by those companies infringe AAI's patents. If Barr is
found to infringe the AAI patent, Barr may be liable to AAI for damages
that may reduce Barr's profits from its generic Prozac product. The
Company believes that the suits filed against it by AAI are without
merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. It is anticipated
that these matters may take several years to be resolved but an adverse
judgment could have a material adverse 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.
On December 17, 2001, the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey granted summary judgement, finding that Barr's product
did not infringe the patent at issue in the case. Subsequently, the
patent holder filed an appeal of the lower court's ruling. On April 8,
2002, the FDA granted final approval for Barr's application and Barr
launched its product. If the patent holder's appeal is successful, the
Company could be liable for damages for patent infringement, which
could have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
Adderall Trade Dress Infringement Suit
On May 1, 2002, Shire Richwood Inc. ("Shire") filed a lawsuit in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against
Barr claiming that Barr's generic Adderall product uses trade dress
that is similar in appearance to Shire's Adderall(R) product. Shire is
seeking a preliminary injunction to restrain Barr from using the trade
dress and to have Barr recall from the marketplace any product sold in
such trade dress. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without
merit and opposed Shire's request for a preliminary injunction. On June
3, 2002, the District Court heard oral argument on Shire's preliminary
injunction motion and took the matter under advisement. No order has
issued to date. The Company does not expect the on-going litigation to
cause any disruption in the manufacturing and sale of its generic
Adderall product or to affect the status of product currently in the
marketplace. However, if the injunction is granted, this could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.
Termination of Solvay Co-Marketing Relationship
On March 31, 2002, Barr gave notice of its intention to terminate on
June 30, 2002 the relationship between Barr and Solvay Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. ("Solvay") which covered the joint promotion of Barr's Cenestin
tablets and Solvay's Prometrium(R) capsules. Solvay has disputed Barr'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. The Company believes its actions are well
founded but if the Company is incorrect, the matter could have a
material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

Lemelson
On November, 23, 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 Barr, involving "machine vision" or "computer
image analysis." On March 20, 2002, the court entered on Order of Stay
in the Proceedings, pending the resolution of another suit that
involves the same patents, but does not involve us.
Other Litigation
As of June 30, 2002, the Company was involved with other lawsuits
incidental to its business, including patent infringement actions.
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.
Administrative Matters
On June 30, 1999, the Company received a civil investigative demand
("CID") and a subpoena from the FTC, that sought documents and data
relating to the January 1997 agreements resolving the 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 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 May 1, 2001, the Texas Attorney General's Office, as a liaison on
behalf of a group of state Attorney Generals, served the Company with a
civil investigative demand relating to the settlement of the
Ciprofloxacin patent challenge. At the Attorney General's request, Barr
entered into an agreement with the states to allow them to investigate
the Cipro settlement. In December 2001 Barr was notified that the
Attorney Generals closed their investigation.
In 1998 and 1999, the Company was contacted by the Department of
Justice ("DOJ") regarding the March 1993 settlement of the Tamoxifen
patent challenge litigation. On May 6, 2002 Barr received notification
that the DOJ had officially closed its investigation of this matter.
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
civil investigative demand 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. The Company believes that once all the
facts are considered, and the benefits to consumers are assessed, that
these investigations will be satisfactorily resolved as they have been
by DOJ, regarding Tamoxifen and the Texas Attorney General, regarding
Ciprofloxacin. However, consideration of these matters could take
considerable time, and any adverse judgment could have a material
adverse impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In the spring of 2001 the FTC issued special orders to approximately
100 pharmaceutical companies related to an inquiry into alleged
anti-competitive practices in the entire pharmaceutical industry,
including practices relating to patent challenge settlements. Barr
received its special order on April 30, 2001 and has provided
responses to the FTC. The FTC recently completed the study of patent
settlements in the pharmaceutical industry and made recommendatons to
Congress to modify Hatch-Waxman in certain respects. The FTC's primary
recommendations include permitting only one automatic 30 month stay
per drug product per ANDA to resolve infringement disputes over
patents listed in the Orange Book prior to this filing date of the
generic applicant's ANDA; and, requiring brand-name pharmaceutical
companies and first generic applicants to provide copies of certain
agreements to the FTC.
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 believe that all of its product
agreements and pricing decisions have been lawful and proper.
