1.   General
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of Mylan Laboratories Inc. and subsidiaries (“Mylan” or “the Company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q; therefore, as permitted under these rules, certain footnotes and other financial information included in audited financial statements were condensed or omitted. The interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the interim results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
 
The interim results of operations and interim cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other future period.
 
Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on reported net earnings, earnings per share or shareholders’ equity.
 
2.   Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
 
Revenue is recognized for product sales upon shipment when title and risk of loss transfer to the Company’s customers and when provisions for estimates, including discounts, rebates, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks and other promotional programs are reasonably determinable. No revisions were made to the methodology used in determining these provisions during the three month period ended June 30, 2007.
 
As a result of significant uncertainties surrounding the pricing and market conditions with respect to a product launched by the Company in late March 2007, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount of potential price adjustments. Therefore, revenues on shipments of this product are currently being deferred until the resolution of such uncertainties. Such uncertainties are resolved upon our customers’ sale of this product. As a result, the Company is recognizing revenue at this time only upon our customers’ sale of this product.
 
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating to these provisions. Such allowances were $392,602 and $404,687 as of June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Other current liabilities include $49,868 and $51,873 at June 30, 2007, and March 31, 2007, for certain rebates and other adjustments that are payable to indirect customers.
 
3.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“SFAS No. 159”), providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

4.   Pending Acquisition

 
On May 12, 2007, Mylan and Merck KGaA announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Mylan will acquire Merck’s generics business (“Merck Generics”) for €4,900,000 (approximately $6,700,000) in an all-cash transaction. Management believes that the combination of Mylan and Merck Generics will create a vertically and horizontally integrated generics and specialty pharmaceuticals leader with a diversified revenue base and a global footprint, and also believes the combined company will be among the top tier of global generic companies, with a significant presence in the top five global generics markets. The transaction remains subject to regulatory review in the United States and certain other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second half of calendar 2007. In connection with the pending transaction, Mylan has obtained fully committed financing from Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and J.P. Morgan.
 
In conjunction with this planned transaction, the Company entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract in order to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure related to the pending Euro denominated transaction. The contract is contingent upon the closing of this acquisition and the premium of approximately $121,900 will be paid only upon such closing.
 
The Company accounts for this instrument under the provisions of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”). This instrument does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 and therefore is required to be adjusted to fair value with the change in the fair value of the instrument recorded in current earnings. The Company recorded a non-cash, unrealized loss of $57,468 in the three month period ended June 30, 2007 related to this deal-contingent foreign currency option contract. This amount is included as other (expense) income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The fair value of this contract at June 30, 2007 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
5.   Stock-Based Incentive Plan
 
Mylan’s shareholders approved the Mylan Laboratories Inc. 2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan on July 25, 2003, and approved certain amendments on July 28, 2006 (as amended, the “2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan, 22,500,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee directors of Mylan through a variety of incentive awards, including: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and units, performance awards, other stock-based awards and short-term cash awards. Awards are granted at the fair value of the shares underlying the options at the date of the grant, generally become exercisable over periods ranging from three to four years, and generally expire in ten years.
 
Upon approval of the 2003 Plan, the Mylan Laboratories Inc. 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) was frozen, and no further grants of stock options will be made under that plan. However, there are stock options outstanding from the 1997 Plan, expired plans and other plans assumed through acquisitions.

Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company granted approximately 4,200,000 options and restricted stock units. Compensation expense to be recognized in future periods related to this grant will be approximately $34,000.

7.   Earnings per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock outstanding. The effect of dilutive stock options on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 3,127,000 and 4,836,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
Stock options or restricted stock units representing 1,982,000 and 1,511,000 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months then ended because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

  $ 1,656,064     $ 1,654,932  
                 
 
 
(A) On July 21, 2005, the Company issued $500,000 in Senior Notes, which consisted of $150,000 of Senior Notes due August 15, 2010, and bearing interest at 53/4% per annum (the “2010 Restricted Notes”) and $350,000 of Senior Notes due August 15, 2015, and bearing interest at 63/8% per annum (the “2015 Restricted Notes”, and collectively the “Restricted Notes”). The Restricted Notes were exchanged on January 14, 2006, in accordance with a registration rights agreement in a transaction consummated on January 19, 2006. The form and terms of the registered notes (the “Notes”) are identical in all material respects to the original notes. Interest is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 and commenced on February 15, 2006.
 
Prior to maturity, the Company may, under certain circumstances, redeem the Notes in whole or in part at prices specified in the bond indenture governing the Notes. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) of the Company, each holder of the Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes at 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
 
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank junior to all of the Company’s secured obligations. The Notes are guaranteed jointly and severally on a full and unconditional senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries except a captive insurance company.
 
The Notes indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to (a) incur additional secured indebtedness, (b) make investments or other restricted payments, (c) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase the Company’s capital stock, (d) engage in sale-leaseback transactions and (e) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. Certain of the covenants contained in the indenture will no longer be applicable or will be less restrictive if the Company achieves investment grade ratings as outlined in the indenture.
 
(B) On July 21, 2005, the Company entered into a $500,000 senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility consisted of a $225,000 five-year revolving credit facility and a $275,000 five-year term loan (the “Term Loan”).
 
On July 24, 2006, the Company completed the refinancing of its existing Credit Facility by entering into a credit agreement for a five-year $700,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2006 Credit Facility”). At the Company’s discretion, the 2006 Credit Facility was expandable to $1,000,000. Borrowings totaling $187,000 were made under the 2006 Credit Facility and, along with existing cash, were used to repay the Term Loan. Additional net borrowings of $263,000 were made under the 2006 Credit Facility in order to finance the acquisition of Matrix. The spread over LIBOR for borrowings is adjusted based upon the Company’s total leverage ratio as discussed below. The Company’s obligations under the 2006 Credit Facility

MYLAN LABORATORIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, except a captive insurance company.
 
The 2006 Credit Facility includes covenants that (a) require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio, (b) place limitations on the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to incur debt, (c) place limitations on the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to grant liens, carry out mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of its assets and (d) place limitations on the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other restricted payments. The 2006 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy.
 
On March 26, 2007, Mylan and its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary Euro Mylan B.V. (“Euro Mylan”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), effective March 26, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), with a syndicate of bank lenders for a $750,000 senior unsecured credit facility including (i) a multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate amount of up to a U.S. dollar equivalent of $300,000 due July 24, 2011, and (ii) a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) denominated in U.S. dollars to the Company in an aggregate amount of $450,000 due December 26, 2011 (collectively, the “2007 Credit Facility”).
 
On the Closing Date, the Company borrowed $450,000 under the Term Loan Agreement and used the proceeds to repay the revolving loans outstanding under the Company’s existing 2006 Credit Facility. The Company intends to use the Revolving Credit Facility for working capital and general corporate purposes, including expansion of its global operations.
 
The 2007 Credit Facility also provides that the entire principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed by the Company or Euro Mylan in Euros or other foreign currencies that are agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent. At the request of the Company, but subject to obtaining commitments from the lenders or new lenders and the other terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement, the Company may elect to increase the commitments under the 2007 Credit Facility up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $850,000. At June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $13,117.
 
At the Company’s option, loans under the 2007 Credit Facility will bear interest either at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an effective applicable margin or at a base rate, which is defined as the higher of the rate announced publicly by the Administrative Agent, from time to time, as its prime rate or 0.5% above the federal funds rate. The effective applicable margin will fluctuate with in a range of 0.40% to 1.00%, based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. In addition, the Company is required to pay a facility fee on the average daily amount of the commitments (whether used or unused) of the Revolving Credit Facility at a rate, which ranges from 0.10% to 0.25%, based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. The interest rate in effect on the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007 was 6.07% and 6.20%, respectively. At June 30, 2007, the Company had a total of $1,000,000 available under the 2006 and 2007 Credit Facilities.
 
The Company’s and Euro Mylan’s obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, except a captive insurance company. Euro Mylan’s obligations are also guaranteed by the Company.
 
The 2007 Credit Facility includes covenants similar to those of the 2006 Credit Facility. The 2007 Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment, misrepresentation, breach of covenants and bankruptcy.
 
In addition, on March 26, 2007 the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the 2006 Credit Agreement to modify the interest rates to conform to the effective interest rates applicable to the Credit Agreement and to make certain other changes conforming the 2006 Credit Facility to the 2007 Credit Facility.

(C) On March 1, 2007, Mylan entered into a purchase agreement relating to the sale by the Company of $600,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, accruing from March 7, 2007. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2007. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2012, subject to earlier repurchase or conversion. Holders may convert their notes subject to certain conversion provisions determined by, among others, the market price of the Company’s common stock and the trading price of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 44.5931 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.43 per share), subject to adjustment, with the principal amount payable in cash and the remainder in cash or stock at the option of the Company.
 
On March 1, 2007, concurrently with the sale of the Convertible Notes, Mylan entered into a convertible note hedge transaction, comprised of a purchased call option, and two warrant transactions with each of Merrill Lynch International, an affiliate of Merrill Lynch, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch, an affiliate of JPMorgan, each of which we refer to as a counterparty. The net cost of the transactions was approximately $80,600. The purchased call options will cover approximately 26,755,853 shares of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to the anti-dilution adjustments for the Convertible Notes, which under most circumstances represents the maximum number of shares that underlie the Convertible Notes. Concurrently with entering into the purchased call options, we entered into warrant transactions with the counterparties. Pursuant to the warrant transactions, we will sell to the counterparties warrants to purchase in the aggregate approximately 26,755,853 shares of our common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants may not be exercised prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes, subject to certain limited exceptions.
 
The purchased call options are expected to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the market value per share of our common stock at the time of exercise is greater than approximately $22.43, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The sold warrants have an exercise price that is 60.0% higher than the price per share of $19.50 at which we offered our common stock in a concurrent equity offering. If the market price per share of our common stock at the time of conversion of any Convertible Notes is above the strike price of the purchased call options, the purchased call options will, in most cases, entitle us to receive from the counterparties in the aggregate the same number of shares of our common stock as we would be required to issue to the holder of the converted Convertible Notes. Additionally, if the market price of our common stock at the time of exercise of the sold warrants exceeds the strike price of the sold warrants, we will owe the counterparties an aggregate of approximately 26,755,853 shares of our common stock. The purchased call options and sold warrants may be settled for cash at our election.
 
The purchased call options and sold warrants are separate transactions entered into by the Company with the counterparties, are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes, and will not affect the holders’ rights under the Convertible Notes. Holders of the Convertible Notes will not have any rights with respect to the purchased call options or the sold warrants. The purchased call options and sold warrants meet the definition of derivatives under SFAS No. 133 (as amended by SFAS No. 138 and SFAS No. 149). However, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock (in accordance with the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 01-6, The Meaning of Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock) and have been recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (as determined under EITF Issue No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock) the instruments are exempted out of the scope of SFAS No. 133 and are not subject to the mark to market provisions of that standard.
 
(D) Matrix’s borrowings consist primarily of two Facilities (“Facility A” and “Facility B”) both of which are denominated in Euros. Matrix’s effective interest rate for these loans is Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) plus 110 basis points for Facility A of €82,500, or 5.19% and 4.96% at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007,


13


Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

respectively, and Euribor plus 129 basis points for Facility B of €82,500, or 5.24% and 5.15% at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Facility A was due in July 2007 and Facility B is payable over three years in semi-annual installments beginning in October 2007. These loans are collateralized by the pledge of certain of Matrix subsidiaries’ shares and by a Matrix corporate guarantee to ABN Amro Bank NV. These loans also require Matrix and certain of its subsidiaries to comply with certain covenants, under which the approval of the lenders is required for certain transactions which include incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees; declaration of payment of dividends; entering into acquisitions or mergers, joint ventures, consolidations or sales of Matrix assets; and entering into new lines of business. The covenants also prescribe certain maximum ratios of debt to earnings or equity ratios and minimum levels of interest and debt service coverage ratios. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, Facility A was repaid.

 
All financing fees associated with the Company’s borrowings are being amortized over the life of the related debt. The total unamortized amounts of $25,227 and $26,801 are included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007.
 
At June 30, 2007, and March 31, 2007, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $581,400 and $640,400, respectively, and the carrying values of the Notes, the Term Loan Facility, and on Matrix’s term loan borrowings approximated fair value.
 
Certain of the Company’s debt agreements contain certain cross-default provisions.

11.   Income Taxes

 
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”) effective April 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This Interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position be recognized in the Company’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $16,400 increase in its existing liability for unrecognized tax benefits, with a corresponding decrease to the April 1, 2007 retained earnings of $11,400 and an increase to deferred tax assets of $5,000.
 
As of April 1, 2007, after the implementation of FIN 48, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $42,900, excluding liabilities for interest and penalties. If the Company were to recognize these benefits, the effective tax rate would reflect a favorable net impact of $33,000. In addition, at April 1, 2007, liabilities for accrued interest and penalties relating to the unrecognized tax benefits totaled $6,300. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $43,900, excluding liabilities for interest and penalties. Accrued interest and penalties included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $6,500 as of June 30, 2007.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
 
It is anticipated that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, these changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the results of operations, cash flows or the financial position of the Company.
 
The tax years 2005 through 2007 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The major state taxing jurisdictions applicable to the Company remain open from 2004 through 2007.
 
12.   Segment Information
 
The Company has two reportable segments, the “Mylan Segment” and the “Matrix Segment”. The Mylan Segment primarily develops, manufactures, sells and distributes generic or branded generic pharmaceutical products in tablet, capsule or transdermal patch form, while the Matrix Segment engages mainly in the manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients “APIs” and the distribution of branded generic products. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses, as well as litigation settlements, and non-operating income and expenses are reported in Corporate/Other.
 
The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net revenues and segment earnings from operations. Items below the earnings from operations line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings are not presented by segment, since they are excluded from the measure of segment profitability reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker. The Company does not report depreciation expense, total assets and capital expenditures by segment as such information is not used by the chief operating decision maker.
 
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Intersegment revenues are accounted for at current market values.

13.   Contingencies
 
While it is not possible to determine with any degree of certainty the ultimate outcome of the following legal proceedings, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In fiscal 2001, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“MPI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mylan Laboratories Inc. (“Mylan Labs”), filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to manufacture, market and sell omeprazole delayed-release capsules and made Paragraph IV certifications to several patents owned by AstraZeneca PLC (“AstraZeneca”) that were listed in the FDA’s “Orange Book.” On September 8, 2000, AstraZeneca filed suit against MPI and Mylan Labs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging infringement of several of AstraZeneca’s patents. On May 29, 2003, the FDA approved MPI’s ANDA for the 10 mg and 20 mg strengths of omeprazole delayed-release capsules, and, on August 4, 2003, Mylan Labs announced that MPI had commenced the sale of omeprazole 10 mg and 20 mg delayed-release capsules. AstraZeneca then amended the pending lawsuit to assert claims against Mylan Labs and MPI and filed a separate lawsuit against MPI’s supplier, Esteve Quimica S.A. (“Esteve”), for unspecified money damages and a finding of willful infringement, which could result in treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs of litigation and such further relief as the court deems just and proper. MPI has certain indemnity obligations to Esteve in connection with this litigation. MPI, Esteve and the other generic manufacturers who are co-defendants in the case filed motions for summary judgment of non-infringement and patent invalidity. On January 12, 2006, those motions were denied. On May 31, 2007, the district court ruled in Mylan’s and Esteve’s favor by finding that the asserted patents were not infringed by Mylan’s/Esteve’s products. On July 18, 2007, AstraZeneca appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
 
Lorazepam and Clorazepate
 
On June 1, 2005, a jury verdict was rendered against Mylan Labs and MPI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (“D.C.”) in the amount of approximately $12,000 which has been accrued for by the Company.

The jury found Mylan willfully violated Massachusetts, Minnesota and Illinois state antitrust laws in connection with API supply agreements entered into between the Company and its API supplier and broker for two drugs, lorazepam and clorazepate, in 1997, and subsequent price increases on these drugs in 1998. The case was brought by four health insurers who opted out of earlier class action settlements agreed to by the Company in 2001 and represents the last remaining claims relating to Mylan’s 1998 price increases for lorazepam and clorazepate. In post-trial filings, the plaintiffs have requested that the verdict be trebled. Plaintiffs are also seeking an award of attorneys’ fees, litigation costs and interest on the judgment in unspecified amounts. In total, the plaintiffs have moved for judgments that could result in a liability of approximately $69,000 for Mylan (not including the request for attorney’s fees and costs). The Company filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law, a motion for a new trial, a motion to dismiss two of the insurers and a motion to reduce the verdict. On December 20, 2006, the Company’s motion for judgment as a matter of law and motion for a new trial were denied. A hearing on the pending post-trial motions took place on February 28, 2007. The Company intends to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
 
Pricing and Medicaid Litigation
 
On June 26, 2003, MPI and UDL Laboratories Inc. (“UDL”), a subsidiary of Mylan Labs, received requests from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee (the “Committee”) seeking information about certain products sold by MPI and UDL in connection with the Committee’s investigation into pharmaceutical reimbursement and rebates under Medicaid. MPI and UDL cooperated with this inquiry and provided information in response to the Committee’s requests in 2003. Several states’ attorneys general (“AG”) have also sent letters to MPI, UDL and Mylan Bertek, demanding that those companies retain documents relating to Medicaid reimbursement and rebate calculations pending the outcome of unspecified investigations by those AGs into such matters. In addition, in July 2004, Mylan Labs received subpoenas from the AGs of California and Florida in connection with civil investigations purportedly related to price reporting and marketing practices regarding various drugs. As noted below, both California and Florida subsequently filed suits against Mylan, and the Company believes any further requests for information and disclosures will be made as part of that litigation.
 
Beginning in September 2003, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL, together with many other pharmaceutical companies, have been named in a series of civil lawsuits filed by state AGs and municipal bodies within the state of New York alleging generally that the defendants defrauded the state Medicaid systems by allegedly reporting “Average Wholesale Prices” (“AWP”) and/or “Wholesale Acquisition Costs” that exceeded the actual selling price of the defendants’ prescription drugs. To date, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL have been named as defendants in substantially similar civil lawsuits filed by the AGs of Alabama, Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin and also by the city of New York and approximately 40 counties across New York State. Several of these cases have been transferred to the AWP multi-district litigation proceedings pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts for pretrial proceedings. Others of these cases will likely be litigated in the state courts in which they were filed. Each of the cases seeks an unspecified amount in money damages, civil penalties and/or treble damages, counsel fees and costs, and injunctive relief. In each of these matters, with the exception of Florida, Idaho, South Carolina AG and Texas actions and the actions brought by various counties in New York, excluding the actions brought by Erie, Oswego and Schenectady counties, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL have answered the respective complaints denying liability. Mylan Labs and its subsidiaries intend to defend each of these actions vigorously.
 
In addition by letter dated January 12, 2005, MPI was notified by the U.S. Department of Justice of an investigation concerning MPI’s calculations of Medicaid drug rebates. MPI is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation.

Modafinil Antitrust Litigation and FTC Inquiry
 
Beginning in April 2006, Mylan Labs, along with four other drug manufacturers, has been named in a series of civil lawsuits filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a variety of plaintiffs purportedly representing direct and indirect purchasers of the drug modafinil and one action brought by Apotex, Inc., a manufacturer of generic drugs seeking approval to market a generic modafinil product. These actions allege violations of federal and state laws in connection with the defendants’ settlement of patent litigation relating to modafinil. These actions are in their preliminary stages, and motions to dismiss each action are pending. Mylan Labs intends to defend each of these actions vigorously. In addition, by letter dated July 11, 2006, Mylan was notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) of an investigation relating to the settlement of the modafinil patent litigation. In its letter, the FTC requested certain information from Mylan Labs, MPI and Mylan Technologies Inc. pertaining to the patent litigation and the settlement thereof. On March 29, 2007, the FTC issued a subpoena, and on April 26, 2007, the FTC issued a civil investigative demand to Mylan Labs requesting additional information from the Company relating to the investigation. Mylan is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation and its outstanding requests for information.
 
Other Litigation
 
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings that are considered normal to its business. While it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of such other proceedings, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of such other proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
14.   Guarantor Financial Statements
 
Each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, except a captive insurance company, has guaranteed, on a full, unconditional and joint and several basis, the Company’s performance under the Notes (collectively, “the Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Matrix is not a guarantor of the Notes. There are certain restrictions under the Notes indenture on the ability of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to receive or distribute funds in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The following combined financial data provides information regarding the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Guarantor Subsidiaries (condensed consolidating financial data). Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such information would not be material to the holders of the debt.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in the results of operations and financial condition of Mylan Laboratories Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”, “Mylan” or “we”) for the periods presented. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, the related Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) and the Company’s other SEC filings and public disclosures.
 
This Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements”. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the Company’s market opportunities, strategies, competition and expected activities and expenditures, and at times may be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “project”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “plan”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “potential”, “intend”, “continue” and variations of these words or comparable words. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Form 10-Q.
 
Overview
 
Mylan’s financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2007, included total revenues of $546.3 million, net earnings of $79.7 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.32. Comparatively, the three months ended June 30, 2006, included total revenues of $356.1 million, net earnings of $75.6 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.35. This represents an increase of 53% in total revenues and 5% in net earnings and a decrease of 9% in earnings per diluted share when compared to the same prior year period. Since the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Mylan issued 26.2 million shares of its common stock in an equity offering in March 2007, and sold approximately 8.1 million shares to certain selling shareholders of Matrix Laboratories Limited (“Matrix”) in the acquisition, which was completed during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
 
Included in diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was a charge of $0.15 per diluted share with respect to a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract entered into with respect to the pending acquisition of Merck KGaA’s generic business (“Merck Generics”). On May 12, 2007, Mylan and Merck KGaA announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Mylan, subject to regulatory review in the United States and other customary closing conditions, will acquire Merck Generics for €4.9 billion (approximately $6.7 billion) in an all-cash transaction. In conjunction with the Merck Generics transaction, Mylan entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract in order to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. The contract is contingent upon the closing of this acquisition, and the premium of approximately $121.9 million will be paid only upon such closing. The Company accounts for this instrument under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”) (“SFAS No. 133”). This instrument does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 and, therefore, is adjusted to fair value at each reporting date with the change in the fair value of the instrument recorded in earnings.
 
With the addition of Matrix, Mylan now reports as two reportable segments, the “Mylan Segment” and the “Matrix Segment”. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses, as well as litigation settlements, and non-operating income and expenses are reported in Corporate/Other. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS No. 131”), information for earlier periods has been recast.

Table of Contents

The Mylan Segment had total revenues of $455.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, and the Matrix Segment had total revenues of $91.3 million. A more detailed discussion of the Company’s financial results can be found below in the section titled “Results of Operations”.
 
Results of Operations
 
Quarter Ended June 30, 2007, Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2006
 
Revenues and Gross Profit
 
Total revenues for the current quarter increased 53% or $190.2 million to $546.3 million compared to $356.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Mylan Segment total revenues were $455.0 million, and Matrix Segment total revenues were $91.3 million.
 
For the Mylan Segment, net revenues for the current quarter increased by $102.6 million or 29% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of the contribution from new products, partially offset by lower volume on existing products as a result of product mix. Pricing was relatively stable compared to the prior year.
 
New products in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 contributed net revenues of $124.7 million. Amlodipine accounted for $84.0 million of new product revenue, with oxybutynin and several other recent product launches comprising the remainder. Mylan launched amlodipine in the latter part of its fiscal 2007 fourth quarter. However, because of significant uncertainties surrounding the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of additional amlodipine abbreviated new drug applications (“ANDAs”) we were unable to reasonably estimate the amount of potential price adjustments that would occur as a result of the additional approvals. As a result, revenues on shipments of amlodipine are deferred until such uncertainties were resolved. Such uncertainties are resolved upon our customers’ sale of this product. There are currently 15 competitors with approved ANDAs to sell amlodipine, and the market dynamics continue to change. As such, these uncertainties continue to exist and Mylan continues to defer the recognition of amlodipine revenue until the uncertainties are resolved.
 
Fentanyl, which continues to be the only ANDA-approved, AB-rated generic alternative to Duragesic® on the market, accounted for approximately 16% of Mylan Segment net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the Mylan Segment, total doses shipped increased from the same prior year period by approximately 4% to 3.6 billion doses on a year over year basis.
 
Net revenues for the Matrix Segment were $100.5 million, of which $91.3 million represented third-party sales. Approximately 65% of the Matrix Segment’s third-party net revenues comes from the sale of API and intermediates and approximately 25% mainly from the distribution of branded generic products in Europe. Intersegment revenue was derived from API sales to the Mylan Segment primarily in conjunction with the launch of amlodipine which is a vertically integrated product, as well as revenue earned through intersegment product development agreements.
 
Consolidated gross profit increased 58% or $108.5 million to $296.7 million from $188.2 million, and gross margins increased to 54.3% from 52.8%. Included in gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were purchase accounting related items of approximately $14.9 million, which consisted of incremental amortization related to the intangible assets and the amortization of the inventory step-up associated with the Matrix acquisition. Excluding such items, consolidated gross margins were 57.0%.
 
For the Mylan Segment, gross profit was $289.2 million compared to $188.2 million, while gross margins increased to 63.6% from 52.8%. A significant portion of gross profit, as well as the increase in gross margins, was comprised of new products, including amlodipine and fentanyl. Fentanyl contributes margins well in excess of most other products in our portfolio, excluding new products. Absent any changes to market dynamics or significant new competition for fentanyl, the Company expects the product to continue to be a significant contributor to sales and gross profit. Products generally contribute most significantly to gross margin at the time of their launch and even more so in periods of market exclusivity. As is typical in the generic industry, the entrance into the market of other generic competition generally has a negative impact on the volume and pricing of the affected products.

Operating Expenses
 
Consolidated research and development (“R&D”) expense for the current quarter was $31.7 million compared to $21.2 million for the same period in the prior year, which represents an increase of $10.5 million or 49%. Matrix Segment R&D expense was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Excluding Matrix, R&D expense increased by $2.2 million or 10%. The Mylan Segment had R&D expense of $20.9 million for the current quarter compared to $18.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily the result of a higher number of clinical studies in fiscal 2008 compared to the prior year.
 
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the current quarter was $76.9 million compared to $49.8 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $27.0 million or 54%. The Matrix Segment accounted for a majority of the increase, with SG&A expense of $16.5 million. The remainder of the increase was primarily the result of higher Corporate/Other SG&A which increased $7.8M or 22% to $43.4 million from $35.6 million. The increase to Corporate/Other SG&A is due to numerous factors including higher payroll and payroll related costs, increased depreciation expense and increased consulting costs.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $22.9 million compared to $10.4 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase is the result of additional debt incurred after June 30, 2006, in order to fund a portion of the Matrix acquisition as well as debt assumed in the Matrix acquisition and the issuance of the Convertible Notes in March of 2007. Included in interest expense is a commitment fee on the Revolving Credit Facility and the amortization of financing fees.
 
Other (Expense) Income, net
 
Other (expense) income, net was $36.4 million of expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $9.6 million of income in the same prior year period. The decrease is primarily the result of a non-cash mark to market unrealized loss of $57.5 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 on a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract entered into with respect to the pending acquisition of Merck Generics. The purpose of this foreign currency option contract is to mitigate any exchange rate risk. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, this derivative instrument is marked to market each period with any change in the fair value reported in current earnings.
 
Partially offsetting this charge within other (expense) income, net is interest income and income related to Mylan’s equity method investees. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded income from its equity method investees of $2.3 million compared to $5.0 million in the same prior year period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, Mylan received a cash payment from Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Somerset”), of which we own a 50% equity interest, of approximately $5.5 million. The amount in excess of the carrying value of our investment in Somerset, approximately $5.0 million, was recorded as equity income.
 
Income Tax Expense
 
The company’s effective tax rate increased in the current quarter to 38.2% from 35.0% in the same period of the prior year. This increase is due primarily to the impact of losses in certain entities for which the Company could not recognize a tax benefit, which is expected to diminish over time.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash flows from operating activities were $84.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, resulting from net income and non-cash add-backs (including the mark to market loss on the foreign currency option contract), partially offset by the deferred tax benefit and changes in working capital items. In total, working capital as of June 30, 2007 was $1.8 billion compared to $1.7 billion at March 31, 2007. The most significant working capital items affecting cash were accounts receivable, which increased as a result of higher overall sales, including revenue recognized on amlodipine, and accounts payable which decreased as a result of the timing of payments.
 
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007, was $31.2 million. Of the Company’s $4.5 billion of total assets at June 30, 2007, $1.5 billion was held in cash, cash equivalents and

marketable securities. Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of a variety of high credit quality debt securities, including U.S. government, state and local government and corporate obligations. These investments are highly liquid and available for working capital needs. As these instruments mature, the funds are generally reinvested in instruments with similar characteristics.
 
Cash provided by financing activities was $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, consisting primarily of proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $6.1 million and an $18.0 million change in the amount of outstanding checks in excess of cash in our primary disbursement accounts. The Company utilizes a cash management system under which uncleared checks in excess of the cash balance in the bank account at the end of the reporting period are shown as a book cash overdraft. The Company transfers cash on an as-needed basis to fund clearing checks. The Company does not incur any financing charges with respect to this arrangement.
 
Partially offsetting these cash inflows were $14.9 million of cash dividends paid during the quarter. However, as announced on May 12, 2007, in conjunction with the contemplated acquisition of Merck Generics, the Company is suspending the dividend on its common stock.
 
On May 12, 2007, Mylan and Merck KGaA announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Mylan, subject to regulatory review in the United States and other customary closing conditions, will acquire Merck’s Generics for €4.9 billion (approximately $6.7 billion) in an all-cash transaction. Mylan has obtained fully committed financing from Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs.
 
In conjunction with the Merck Generics transaction, the Company entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract in order to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. The contract is contingent upon the closing of this acquisition, and the premium of approximately $121.9 million will be paid only upon such closing.
 
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that are considered normal to its business (see Note 13) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, an adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
The Company is actively pursuing, and is currently involved in, joint projects related to the development, distribution and marketing of both generic and brand products. Many of these arrangements provide for payments by the Company upon the attainment of specified milestones. While these arrangements help to reduce the financial risk for unsuccessful projects, fulfillment of specified milestones or the occurrence of other obligations may result in fluctuations in cash flows.
 
The Company is continuously evaluating the potential acquisition of products, as well as companies, as a strategic part of its future growth. Consequently, the Company may utilize current cash reserves or incur additional indebtedness to finance any such acquisitions, which could impact future liquidity.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”), providing companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.
 
ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
The Company is subject to market risk primarily from changes in the market values of investments in its marketable debt securities, interest rate risk from changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt and foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of its pending acquisition of Merck Generics.

In addition to marketable debt and equity securities, investments are made in overnight deposits, money market funds and marketable securities with maturities of less than three months. These instruments are classified as cash equivalents for financial reporting purposes and have minimal or no interest rate risk due to their short-term nature.
 
The following table summarizes the investments in marketable debt and equity securities which subject the Company to market risk at June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007:
 
                 
    June 30, 2007     March 31, 2007  
 
Marketable debt securities
  $ 172,440     $ 171,548  
Marketable equity securities
    2,445       2,659  
                 
    $ 174,885     $ 174,207  
                 
 
The primary objectives for the marketable debt securities investment portfolio are liquidity and safety of principal. Investments are made to achieve the highest rate of return while retaining principal. Our investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions and government agencies with investment-grade credit ratings. At June 30, 2007, the Company had invested $172.4 million in marketable debt securities, of which $22.2 million will mature within one year and $150.2 million will mature after one year. The short duration to maturity creates minimal exposure to fluctuations in market values for investments that will mature within one year. However, a significant change in current interest rates could affect the market value of the remaining $150.2 million of marketable debt securities that mature after one year. A 5% change in the market value of the marketable debt securities that mature after one year would result in a $7.5 million change in marketable debt securities.
 
Long-Term Debt
 
On July 21, 2005, the Company issued $500.0 million in Senior Notes with fixed interest rates (which were exchanged for registered notes, as described previously) and, on July 24, 2006, entered into a five-year $700.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2006 Credit Facility”). On March 26, 2007, Mylan and its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary Euro Mylan B.V. (“Euro Mylan”) entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of bank lenders for a $750.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “2007 Credit Facility”), including (i) a multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate amount of up to a U.S. Dollar equivalent of $300.0 million due July 24, 2011, and (ii) a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) denominated in U.S. Dollars in aggregate amount of up to $450.0 million due December 26, 2011. The Company borrowed $450.0 million under the Term Loan Facility and used the proceeds to repay the revolving loans outstanding under the Company’s existing 2006 Credit Facility. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2007 on the outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility was 6.07%.
 
On March 1, 2007, Mylan entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Convertible Notes Purchase Agreement”) relating to the sale by the Company of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per year, accruing from March 7, 2007. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2007. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2012, subject to earlier repurchase or conversion. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 44.5931 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.43 per share), subject to adjustment.
 
Matrix’s long-term debt included two term loan borrowings both of which are denominated in Euros. Matrix’s effective interest rate for these loans is Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) plus 110 basis points for the first facility (“Facility A”) of €82.50 million and Euribor plus 129 basis points for the second facility (“Facility B”) of €82.50 million for the period ended June 30, 2007. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, Facility A was repaid.
 
Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of our Convertible Notes was approximately $581.4 million.

The carrying value of our Senior Notes, our Term Loan facility, and Matrix’s term loan borrowings approximated fair value. A 10% change in interest rates on the variable rate debt would result in a change in interest expense of approximately $3.9 million per year.
 
Deal-Contingent Foreign Currency Option Contract
 
In conjunction with the Merck Generics transaction, the Company entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency option contract in order to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure related to the Euro denominated purchase price. The contract is contingent upon the closing of this acquisition, and the premium of approximately $121.9 million will be paid only upon such closing. The value of the foreign currency option contract fluctuates depending on the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro. On June 30, 2007, the mark to market value of this foreign currency option contract resulted in a loss of $57.5 million.
 
ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company began utilizing SAP enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system at Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its corporate offices. No other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
While it is not possible to determine with any degree of certainty the ultimate outcome of the following legal proceedings, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
Omeprazole
 
In fiscal 2001, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“MPI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mylan Labs, filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking approval from the FDA to manufacture, market and sell omeprazole delayed-release capsules and made Paragraph IV certifications to several patents owned by AstraZeneca PLC (“AstraZeneca”) that were listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) “Orange Book.” On September 8, 2000, AstraZeneca filed suit against MPI and Mylan Labs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging infringement of several of AstraZeneca’s patents. On May 29, 2003, the FDA approved MPI’s ANDA for the 10 mg and 20 mg strengths of omeprazole delayed-release capsules, and, on August 4, 2003, Mylan Labs announced that MPI had commenced the sale of omeprazole 10 mg and 20 mg delayed-release capsules. AstraZeneca then amended the pending lawsuit to assert claims against Mylan Labs and MPI and filed a separate lawsuit against MPI’s supplier, Esteve Quimica S.A. (“Esteve”), for unspecified money damages and a finding of willful infringement, which could result in treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, costs of litigation and such further relief as the court deems just and proper. MPI has certain indemnity obligations to Esteve in connection with this litigation. MPI, Esteve and the other generic manufacturers who are co-defendants in the case filed motions for summary judgment of non-infringement and patent invalidity. On January 12, 2006, those motions were denied. On May 31, 2007, the district court ruled in Mylan’s and Esteve’s favor by finding that the asserted patents were not infringed by Mylan’s/Esteve’s products. On July 18, 2007, Astra appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

Lorazepam and Clorazepate
 
On June 1, 2005, a jury verdict was rendered against Mylan Labs and MPI in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (“D.C.”) in the amount of approximately $12.0 million which has been accrued for by the Company. The jury found Mylan willfully violated Massachusetts, Minnesota and Illinois state antitrust laws in connection with Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (“API”) supply agreements entered into between the Company and its API supplier and broker for two drugs, lorazepam and clorazepate, in 1997, and subsequent price increases on these drugs in 1998. The case was brought by four health insurers that opted out of earlier class action settlements agreed to by the Company in 2001 and represents the last remaining claims relating to Mylan’s 1998 price increases for lorazepam and clorazepate. In post-trial filings, the plaintiffs have requested that the verdict be trebled. Plaintiffs are also seeking an award of attorneys’ fees, litigation costs and interest on the judgment in unspecified amounts. In total, the plaintiffs have moved for judgments that could result in a liability of approximately $69 million for Mylan (not including the request for attorney’s fees and costs). The Company filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law, a motion for a new trial, a motion to dismiss two of the insurers and a motion to reduce the verdict. On December 20, 2006, the Company’s motion for judgment as a matter of law and motion for a new trial were denied. A hearing on the pending post-trial motions took place on February 28, 2007. The Company intends to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
 
Pricing and Medicaid Litigation
 
On June 26, 2003, MPI and UDL Laboratories Inc. (“UDL”), a subsidiary of Mylan Labs, received requests from the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee (the “Committee”) seeking information about certain products sold by MPI and UDL in connection with the Committee’s investigation into pharmaceutical reimbursement and rebates under Medicaid. MPI and UDL cooperated with this inquiry and provided information in response to the Committee’s requests in 2003. Several states’ attorneys general (“AG”) have also sent letters to MPI, UDL and Mylan Bertek, demanding that those companies retain documents relating to Medicaid reimbursement and rebate calculations pending the outcome of unspecified investigations by those AGs into such matters. In addition, in July 2004, Mylan Labs received subpoenas from the AGs of California and Florida in connection with civil investigations purportedly related to price reporting and marketing practices regarding various drugs. As noted below, both California and Florida subsequently filed suits against Mylan, and the Company believes any further requests for information and disclosures will be made as part of that litigation.
 
Beginning in September 2003, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL, together with many other pharmaceutical companies, have been named in a series of civil lawsuits filed by state AGs and municipal bodies within the state of New York alleging generally that the defendants defrauded the state Medicaid systems by allegedly reporting “Average Wholesale Prices” (“AWP”) and/or “Wholesale Acquisition Costs” that exceeded the actual selling price of the defendants’ prescription drugs. To date, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL have been named as defendants in substantially similar civil lawsuits filed by the AGs of Alabama, Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas and Wisconsin and also by the city of New York and approximately 40 counties across New York State. Several of these cases have been transferred to the AWP multi-district litigation proceedings pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts for pretrial proceedings. Others of these cases will likely be litigated in the state courts in which they were filed. Each of the cases seeks an unspecified amount in money damages, civil penalties and/or treble damages, counsel fees and costs, and injunctive relief. In each of these matters, with the exception of the Florida, Idaho, South Carolina AG and Texas actions and the actions brought by various counties in New York, excluding the actions brought by Erie, Oswego and Schenectady counties, Mylan Labs, MPI and/or UDL have answered the respective complaints denying liability. Mylan Labs and its subsidiaries intend to defend each of these actions vigorously.
 
In addition, by letter dated January 12, 2005, MPI was notified by the U.S. Department of Justice of an investigation concerning MPI’s calculations of Medicaid drug rebates. MPI is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation.

Modafinil Antitrust Litigation and FTC Inquiry
 
Beginning in April 2006, Mylan Labs, along with four other drug manufacturers, has been named in a series of civil lawsuits filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a variety of plaintiffs purportedly representing direct and indirect purchasers of the drug modafinil and one action brought by Apotex, Inc., a manufacturer of generic drugs seeking approval to market a generic modafinil product. These actions allege violations of federal and state laws in connection with the defendants’ settlement of patent litigation relating to modafinil. These actions are in their preliminary stages, and motions to dismiss each action are pending. Mylan Labs intends to defend each of these actions vigorously. In addition, by letter dated July 11, 2006, Mylan was notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) of an investigation relating to the settlement of the modafinil patent litigation. In its letter, the FTC requested certain information from Mylan Labs, MPI and Mylan Technologies Inc. pertaining to the patent litigation and the settlement thereof. On March 29, 2007, the FTC issued a subpoena, and on April 26, 2007, the FTC issued a civil investigative demand to Mylan Labs requesting additional information from the Company relating to the investigation. Mylan is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation and its outstanding requests for information.
 
Other Litigation
 
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings that are considered normal to its business. While it is not feasible to predict the ultimate outcome of such other proceedings, the Company believes that the ultimate outcome of such other proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors
 
The following risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. These risk factors may not include all of the important factors that could affect our business or our industry or that could cause our future financial results to differ materially from historic or expected results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.
 
OUR FUTURE REVENUE GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO DEVELOP AND/OR LICENSE, OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRE, AND INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS ON A TIMELY BASIS IN RELATION TO OUR COMPETITORS’ PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS. OUR FAILURE TO DO SO SUCCESSFULLY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Our future revenues and profitability will depend, to a significant extent, upon our ability to successfully develop and/or license, or otherwise acquire and commercialize new generic and patent or statutorily protected (usually brand) pharmaceutical products in a timely manner. Product development is inherently risky, especially for new drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established, and the market is not yet proven. Likewise, product licensing involves inherent risks including uncertainties due to matters that may affect the achievement of milestones, as well as the possibility of contractual disagreements with regard to terms such as license scope or termination rights. The development and commercialization process, particularly with regard to new drugs, also requires substantial time, effort and financial resources. We, or a partner, may not be successful in commercializing any of the products that we are developing or licensing (including, without limitation, nebivolol) on a timely basis, if at all, which could adversely affect our product introduction plans, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
FDA approval is required before any prescription drug product, including generic drug products, can be marketed. The process of obtaining FDA approval to manufacture and market new and generic pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time consuming, costly and largely unpredictable. We, or a partner, may be unable to obtain requisite FDA approvals on a timely basis for new generic or brand products that we may develop, license or otherwise acquire. Also, for products pending approval, we may obtain raw materials or produce batches of


32


Table of Contents

inventory to be used in efficacy and bioequivalence testing, as well as in anticipation of the product’s launch. In the event that FDA approval is denied or delayed, we could be exposed to the risk of this inventory becoming obsolete. The timing and cost of obtaining FDA approvals could adversely affect our product introduction plans, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
The ANDA approval process often results in the FDA granting final approval to a number of ANDAs for a given product at the time a patent claim for a corresponding brand product or other market exclusivity expires. This often forces us to face immediate competition when we introduce a generic product into the market. Additionally, ANDA approvals often continue to be granted for a given product subsequent to the initial launch of the generic product. These circumstances generally result in significantly lower prices, as well as reduced margins, for generic products compared to brand products. New generic market entrants generally cause continued price and margin erosion over the generic product life cycle.
 
The Waxman-Hatch Act provides for a period of 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity for each ANDA applicant that is first to file an ANDA containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or unenforceability related to a patent listed with respect to a reference drug product, commonly referred to as a Paragraph IV certification. During this exclusivity period, which under certain circumstances may be required to be shared with other applicable ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications, the FDA cannot grant final approval to other ANDA sponsors holding applications for the same generic equivalent. If an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV certification is successful and the applicant is awarded exclusivity, it generally results in higher market share, net revenues and gross margin for that applicant. Even if we obtain FDA approval for our generic drug products, if we are not the first ANDA applicant to challenge a listed patent for such a product, we may lose significant advantages to a competitor that filed its ANDA containing such a challenge. The same would be true in situations where we are required to share our exclusivity period with other ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications. Such situations could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market that product profitably and on our financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
OUR ACQUISITION OF A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN MATRIX LABORATORIES AND OUR PLANS FOR FURTHER GLOBAL EXPANSION WITH THE ACQUISITION OF MERCK GENERICS EXPOSE THE COMPANY TO ADDITIONAL RISKS WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
With our recently completed acquisition of Matrix and our planned acquisition of Merck Generics, Mylan’s operations extend or will extend to numerous countries outside the U.S. Operating globally exposes us to certain additional risks including, but not limited to:
 
  •  compliance with a variety of national and local laws of countries in which we do business, including restrictions on the import and export of certain intermediates, drugs and technologies, and the risk that our competitors may have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations generally;
 
  •  difficulties integrating new facilities in different countries into our existing operations, as well as integrating employees that we hire in different countries into our existing corporate culture;
 
  •  failing to fully achieve identified financial and operating synergies;
 
  •  fluctuations in exchange rates for transactions conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar;
 
  •  adverse changes in the economies in which we operate as a result of a slowdown in overall growth, a change in government or economic liberalization policies, or financial instability in other countries who influence the economies in which we operate, particularly emerging markets;
 
  •  wage increases or rising inflation in other countries in which we operate or will operate;
 
  •  natural disasters, including drought, floods and earthquakes in other countries in which we operate or will operate; and


33


Table of Contents

 
  •  communal disturbances, terrorist attacks, riots or regional hostilities in other countries in which we operate or will operate.
 
Certain of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.
 
OUR PLANNED ACQUISITION OF MERCK GENERICS SPECIFICALLY AND OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY GENERALLY, INVOLVE A NUMBER OF INHERENT RISKS. THESE RISKS COULD CAUSE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We continually seek to expand our product line through complementary or strategic acquisitions of other companies, products and assets, and through joint ventures, licensing agreements or other arrangements. On May 12, 2007, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Merck Generics. This transaction and any acquisitions, joint ventures and other business combinations involve various inherent risks, such as:
 
  •  diversion of management’s attention from our ongoing business;
 
  •  the failure to assess accurately the values, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities, regulatory compliance and potential profitability of acquisition or other transaction candidates;
 
  •  the potential loss of key personnel or customers of an acquired business;
 
  •  failing to successfully manage acquired businesses or increase our cash flow from their operations;
 
  •  failing to successfully integrate the operations and personnel of the acquired businesses with our ongoing business, and our resulting inability to achieve identified financial and operating synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition or other transaction;
 
  •  unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions affecting an acquisition or other transaction;
 
  •  incurring substantial additional indebtedness, assuming liabilities and incurring significant additional capital expenditures, transaction and operating expenses and non-recurring acquisition-related charges;
 
  •  potentially experiencing an adverse impact on our earnings from acquired in-process research and development and the write-off or amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets;
 
  •  acquiring businesses or entering new markets with which we are not familiar; and
 
  •  international acquisitions, and other transactions, could also be affected by export controls, exchange rate fluctuations, domestic and foreign political conditions and the deterioration in domestic and foreign economic conditions.
 
We may be unable to realize synergies or other benefits expected to result from acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions or investments we may undertake, or be unable to generate additional revenue to offset any unanticipated inability to realize these expected synergies or benefits. Realization of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or other transactions could take longer than expected, and implementation difficulties, unforeseen expenses, complications and delays, market factors and the deterioration in domestic and global economic conditions could alter the anticipated benefits of any such transactions. These factors could impair our growth and ability to compete, require us to focus resources on integration of operations rather than other profitable areas, otherwise cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.
 
In addition, we may compete for certain acquisition targets with companies having greater financial resources than us or other advantages over us that may prevent us from acquiring a target.
 
We plan to finance the acquisition of Merck Generics through significant new indebtedness, cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities, and borrowings under our credit facilities, which will reduce our cash available for other purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE U.S. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT AND SIMILAR WORLDWIDE ANTI-BRIBERY LAWS, WHICH IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS AND MAY CARRY SUBSTANTIAL PENALTIES. ANY VIOLATIONS OF THESE LAWS, OR ALLEGATIONS OF SUCH VIOLATIONS, COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, which often carry substantial penalties. We operate in jurisdictions that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree, and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with certain local customs and practices. We cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures always will protect us from reckless or other inappropriate acts committed by our affiliates, employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE HAVE GROWN, AND CONTINUE TO GROW, AT A VERY RAPID PACE. OUR INABILITY TO PROPERLY MANAGE OR SUPPORT THE GROWTH MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We have grown very rapidly over the past few years and anticipate continuing our rapid expansion including the planned acquisition of Merck Generics, extending our processes, systems and people. We expect to make significant investments in additional personnel, systems and internal control processes to help manage the growing company. Attracting, retaining and motivating key employees in various departments and locations to support our growth are critical to our business, and competition for these people can be intense. If we are unable to hire and retain qualified employees and if we do not continue to invest in systems and processes to manage and support our rapid growth, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
OUR APPROVED PRODUCTS MAY NOT ACHIEVE EXPECTED LEVELS OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR PROFITABILITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Even if we are able to obtain regulatory approvals for our new pharmaceutical products, generic or brand, the success of those products is dependent upon market acceptance. Levels of market acceptance for our new products could be impacted by several factors, including:
 
  •  the availability of alternative products from our competitors;
 
  •  the price of our products relative to that of our competitors;
 
  •  the timing of our market entry;
 
  •  the ability to market our products effectively to the retail level; and
 
  •  the acceptance of our products by government and private formularies.
 
Some of these factors are not within our control. Our new products may not achieve expected levels of market acceptance. Additionally, continuing studies of the proper utilization, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the industry, government agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. For example, on July 15, 2005, the FDA issued a Public Health Advisory regarding the safe use of transdermal fentanyl patches, a product we currently market, the loss of revenues of which could have a significant impact on our business. In some cases, studies have resulted, and may in the future result, in the


35


Table of Contents

discontinuance of product marketing or other risk management programs such as the need for a patient registry. These situations, should they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
A RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF PRODUCTS MAY REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR NET REVENUES, GROSS PROFIT OR NET EARNINGS FROM TIME TO TIME. IF THE VOLUME OR PRICING OF ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS DECLINES, IT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Sales of a limited number of our products often represent a significant portion of our net revenues, gross profit and net earnings. If the volume or pricing of our largest selling products declines in the future, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
WE FACE VIGOROUS COMPETITION FROM OTHER PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS THAT THREATENS THE COMMERCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND PRICING OF OUR PRODUCTS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Our competitors may be able to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to our own for many reasons, including that they may have:
 
  •  proprietary processes or delivery systems;
 
  •  larger research and development and marketing staffs;
 
  •  larger production capabilities in a particular therapeutic area;
 
  •  more experience in preclinical testing and human clinical trials;
 
  •  more products; or
 
  •  more experience in developing new drugs and financial resources, particularly with regard to brand manufacturers.
 
Any of these factors and others could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
BECAUSE THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IS HEAVILY REGULATED, WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR EFFORTS TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS. SHOULD WE FAIL TO COMPLY WE COULD EXPERIENCE MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
 
The pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by various governmental authorities. For instance, we must comply with FDA requirements with respect to the manufacture, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, promotion and development of pharmaceutical products. Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations can result in fines, disgorgement, unanticipated compliance expenditures, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of NDAs or ANDAs, enforcement actions, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Although we have internal regulatory compliance programs and policies and have had a favorable compliance history, there is no guarantee that these programs, as currently designed, will meet regulatory agency standards in the future. Additionally, despite our efforts at compliance, there is no guarantee that we may not be deemed to be deficient in some manner in the future. If we were deemed to be deficient in any significant way, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially affected and the market value of our common stock could decline.

In addition to the new drug approval process, the FDA also regulates the facilities and operational procedures that we use to manufacture our products. We must register our facilities with the FDA. All products manufactured in those facilities must be made in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”). Compliance with cGMP regulations requires substantial expenditures of time, money and effort in such areas as production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. The FDA periodically inspects our manufacturing facilities for compliance. FDA approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific. Failure to comply with cGMP regulations at one of our manufacturing facilities could result in an enforcement action brought by the FDA which could include withholding the approval of NDAs, ANDAs or other product applications of that facility. If the FDA were to require one of our manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, our business could be adversely affected. Delay and cost in obtaining FDA approval to manufacture at a different facility also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
We are subject, as are generally all manufacturers, to various federal, state and local laws regulating working conditions, as well as environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of materials into the environment. Although we have not incurred significant costs associated with complying with environmental provisions in the past, if changes to such environmental laws and regulations are made in the future that require significant changes in our operations or if we engage in the development and manufacturing of new products requiring new or different environmental controls, we may be required to expend significant funds. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
OUR REPORTING AND PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE MEDICAID REBATE PROGRAM AND OTHER GOVERNMENTAL PURCHASING AND REBATE PROGRAMS ARE COMPLEX AND MAY INVOLVE SUBJECTIVE DECISIONS. ANY DETERMINATION OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE OBLIGATIONS COULD SUBJECT US TO PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
 
The regulations regarding reporting and payment obligations with respect to Medicaid reimbursement and rebates and other governmental programs are complex, and as discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, we and other pharmaceutical companies are defendants in a number of suits filed by state attorneys general and have been notified of an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice with respect to Medicaid reimbursement and rebates. Because our processes for these calculations and the judgments involved in making these calculations involve, and will continue to involve, subjective decisions and complex methodologies, these calculations are subject to the risk of errors. In addition, they are subject to review and challenge by the applicable governmental agencies, and it is possible that such reviews could result in material changes.
 
In addition, as also disclosed in this Form 10-Q, a number of state and federal government agencies are conducting investigations of manufacturers’ reporting practices with respect to Average Wholesale Prices (“AWP”), in which they have suggested that reporting of inflated AWP has led to excessive payments for prescription drugs. We and numerous other pharmaceutical companies have been named as defendants in various actions relating to pharmaceutical pricing issues and whether allegedly improper actions by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to excessive payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid.
 
Any governmental agencies that have commenced, or may commence, an investigation of the Company could impose, based on a claim of violation of fraud and false claims laws or otherwise, civil and/or criminal sanctions, including fines, penalties and possible exclusion from federal health care programs (including Medicaid and Medicare). Some of the applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity with regard to how to properly calculate and report payments-and even in the absence of any such ambiguity-a governmental authority may take a position contrary to a position we have taken, and may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions. Any such penalties or sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

WE EXPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THAT MAY NOT LEAD TO SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS. FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE PRODUCTS INTO THE MARKET COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
 
Much of our development effort is focused on technically difficult-to-formulate products and/or products that require advanced manufacturing technology. We conduct research and development primarily to enable us to manufacture and market FDA-approved pharmaceuticals in accordance with FDA regulations. Typically, research expenses related to the development of innovative compounds and the filing of NDAs are significantly greater than those expenses associated with ANDAs. As we continue to develop new products, our research expenses will likely increase. Because of the inherent risk associated with research and development efforts in our industry, particularly with respect to new drugs (including, without limitation, nebivolol), our, or a partner’s, research and development expenditures may not result in the successful introduction of FDA approved new pharmaceutical products. Also, after we submit an NDA or ANDA, the FDA may request that we conduct additional studies and as a result, we may be unable to reasonably determine the total research and development costs to develop a particular product. Finally, we cannot be certain that any investment made in developing products will be recovered, even if we are successful in commercialization. To the extent that we expend significant resources on research and development efforts and are not able, ultimately, to introduce successful new products as a result of those efforts, our business, financial position and results of operations may be materially adversely affected, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR NET REVENUES ARE DERIVED FROM SALES TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. ANY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF BUSINESS WITH ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
 
A significant portion of our net revenues are derived from sales to a limited number of customers. As such, a reduction in or loss of business with one customer, or if one customer were to experience difficulty in paying us on a timely basis, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
THE USE OF LEGAL, REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES BY COMPETITORS, BOTH BRAND AND GENERIC, INCLUDING “AUTHORIZED GENERICS” AND CITIZEN’S PETITIONS, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF PROPOSED LEGISLATION, MAY INCREASE OUR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OR MARKETING OF OUR GENERIC PRODUCTS, COULD DELAY OR PREVENT SUCH INTRODUCTION AND/OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR PROFIT POTENTIAL. THESE FACTORS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Our competitors, both brand and generic, often pursue strategies to prevent or delay competition from generic alternatives to brand products. These strategies include, but are not limited to:
 
  •  entering into agreements whereby other generic companies will begin to market an “authorized generic”, a generic equivalent of a branded product, at the same time generic competition initially enters the market;
 
  •  filing citizen’s petitions with the FDA, including timing the filings so as to thwart generic competition by causing delays of our product approvals;
 
  •  seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence;
 
  •  initiating legislative efforts in various states to limit the substitution of generic versions of brand pharmaceuticals;


38


Table of Contents

 
  •  filing suits for patent infringement that automatically delay FDA approval of many generic products;
 
  •  introducing “next-generation” products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, which often materially reduces the demand for the first generic product for which we seek FDA approval;
 
  •  obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting clinical trials of brand drugs in pediatric populations or by other potential methods as discussed below;
 
  •  persuading the FDA to withdraw the approval of brand name drugs for which the patents are about to expire, thus allowing the brand name company to obtain new patented products serving as substitutes for the products withdrawn; and
 
  •  seeking to obtain new patents on drugs for which patent protection is about to expire.
 
The Food and Drug Modernization Act of 1997 includes a pediatric exclusivity provision that may provide an additional six months of market exclusivity for indications of new or currently marketed drugs if certain agreed upon pediatric studies are completed by the applicant. Brand companies are utilizing this provision to extend periods of market exclusivity.
 
Some companies have lobbied Congress for amendments to the Waxman-Hatch legislation that would give them additional advantages over generic competitors. For example, although the term of a company’s drug patent can be extended to reflect a portion of the time an NDA is under regulatory review, some companies have proposed extending the patent term by a full year for each year spent in clinical trials rather than the one-half year that is currently permitted.
 
If proposals like these were to become effective, our entry into the market and our ability to generate revenues associated with new products may be delayed, reduced or eliminated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
THE INDENTURE FOR OUR SENIOR NOTES, OUR CREDIT FACILITIES AND ANY ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS WE INCUR IN THE FUTURE IMPOSE, OR MAY IMPOSE, SIGNIFICANT OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESTRICTIONS, WHICH MAY PREVENT US FROM CAPITALIZING ON BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND TAKING SOME ACTIONS. THESE FACTORS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
The indenture for our Senior Notes, our credit facilities and any additional indebtedness we incur in the future impose, or may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit the ability of us and our subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness at our subsidiaries, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, and enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, or merge or consolidate. In addition, our senior credit facility requires us to maintain specified financial ratios. We cannot assure you that these covenants will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to pursue available business opportunities. A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios could result in a default under the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare our indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

OUR ABILITY TO SERVICE OUR DEBT AND MEET OUR CASH REQUIREMENTS DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS, SOME OF WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. THESE FACTORS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Our ability to satisfy our obligations, including our Senior Notes, our credit facilities and any additional indebtedness we incur in the future will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may be required to: refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the notes and our senior credit facility; obtain additional financing in the future for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate or other purposes; redirect a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service, which as a result, might not be available for our operations or other purposes; sell some of our assets or operations; reduce or delay capital expenditures; or revise or delay our operations or strategic plans. If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes. The leverage resulting from our notes offering, our credit facility and indebtedness we may incur in the future could have certain material adverse effects on us, including limiting our ability to obtain additional financing and reducing cash available for our operations and acquisitions. As a result, our ability to withstand competitive pressures may be decreased and, we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, which in turn could reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business, regulatory and economic conditions. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE DEPEND ON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS FOR THE RAW MATERIALS, PARTICULARLY THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND(S) COMPRISING THE ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENT, THAT WE USE TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS CERTAIN FINISHED GOODS. A PROLONGED INTERRUPTION IN THE SUPPLY OF SUCH PRODUCTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, AND THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE.
 
We typically purchase the active pharmaceutical ingredient (i.e. the chemical compounds that produce the desired therapeutic effect in our products) and other materials and supplies that we use in our manufacturing operations, as well as certain finished products, from many different foreign and domestic suppliers.
 
Additionally, we maintain safety stocks in our raw materials inventory, and in certain cases where we have listed only one supplier in our applications with the FDA, have received FDA approval to use alternative suppliers should the need arise. However, there is no guarantee that we will always have timely and sufficient access to a critical raw material or finished product. A prolonged interruption in the supply of a single-sourced raw material, including the active ingredient, or finished product could cause our financial position and results of operations to be materially adversely affected, and the market value of our common stock could decline. In addition, our manufacturing capabilities could be impacted by quality deficiencies in the products which our suppliers provide, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
The Company utilizes controlled substances in certain of its current products and products in development and therefore must meet the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and the related regulations administered by the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”). These regulations relate to the manufacture, shipment, storage, sale and use of controlled substances. The DEA limits the availability of the active ingredients used in certain of our current products and products in development and, as a result, our procurement quota of these active ingredients may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. We must annually apply to the DEA for procurement quota in order to obtain these substances. Any delay or refusal by the DEA in


40


Table of Contents

establishing our procurement quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, or could cause trade inventory disruptions for those products that have already been launched, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE USE SEVERAL MANUFACTURING FACILITIES TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED AT ONE LOCATION. PRODUCTION AT THIS FACILITY COULD BE INTERRUPTED, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Although we have other facilities, we produce a significant number of our products at our largest manufacturing facility. A significant disruption at that facility, even on a short-term basis, could impair our ability to produce and ship products to the market on a timely basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE MAY EXPERIENCE DECLINES IN THE SALES VOLUME AND PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS AS THE RESULT OF THE CONTINUING TREND TOWARD CONSOLIDATION OF CERTAIN CUSTOMER GROUPS, SUCH AS THE WHOLESALE DRUG DISTRIBUTION AND RETAIL PHARMACY INDUSTRIES, AS WELL AS THE EMERGENCE OF LARGE BUYING GROUPS. THE RESULT OF SUCH DEVELOPMENTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We make a significant amount of our sales to a relatively small number of drug wholesalers and retail drug chains. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of generic pharmaceutical products. Drug wholesalers and retail drug chains have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation. This consolidation may result in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business. Additionally, the emergence of large buying groups representing independent retail pharmacies and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions potentially enable those groups to attempt to extract price discounts on our products. The result of these developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL AND OTHER PROPRIETARY PROPERTY IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Although our brand products may have patent protection, this may not prevent other companies from developing functionally equivalent products or from challenging the validity or enforceability of our patents. If any patents we use in our business are found or even alleged to be non-infringed, invalid or not enforceable, we could experience an adverse effect on our ability to commercially promote our patented products. We could be required to enforce our patent or other intellectual property rights through litigation, which can be protracted and involve significant expense and an inherently uncertain outcome. Any negative outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

OUR COMPETITORS INCLUDING BRAND COMPANIES OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES MAY ALLEGE THAT WE ARE INFRINGING THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, FORCING US TO EXPEND SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES IN RESULTING LITIGATION, THE OUTCOME OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN. ANY UNFAVORABLE OUTCOME OF SUCH LITIGATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Companies that produce brand pharmaceutical products routinely bring litigation against ANDA applicants that seek FDA approval to manufacture and market generic forms of their branded products. These companies allege patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights as the basis for filing suit against an ANDA applicant. Likewise, patent holders may bring patent infringement suits against companies that are currently marketing and selling their approved generic products. Litigation often involves significant expense and can delay or prevent introduction or sale of our generic products.
 
There may also be situations where the Company uses its business judgment and decides to market and sell products, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts. The risk involved in doing so can be substantial because the remedies available to the owner of a patent for infringement include, among other things, damages measured by the profits lost by the patent owner and not by the profits earned by the infringer. In the case of a willful infringement, the definition of which is subjective, such damages may be trebled. Moreover, because of the discount pricing typically involved with bioequivalent products, patented brand products generally realize a substantially higher profit margin than bioequivalent products. An adverse decision in a case such as this or in other similar litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCTIONS IN THE LEVELS OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, HMOs OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYERS. ANY SUCH REDUCTIONS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Various governmental authorities and private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs, provide reimbursement to consumers for the cost of certain pharmaceutical products. Demand for our products depends in part on the extent to which such reimbursement is available. Third-party payers increasingly challenge the pricing of pharmaceutical products. This trend and other trends toward the growth of HMOs, managed health care and legislative health care reform create significant uncertainties regarding the future levels of reimbursement for pharmaceutical products. Further, any reimbursement may be reduced in the future, perhaps to the point that market demand for our products declines. Such a decline could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
LEGISLATIVE OR REGULATORY PROGRAMS THAT MAY INFLUENCE PRICES OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Current or future federal or state laws and regulations may influence the prices of drugs and, therefore, could adversely affect the prices that we receive for our products. Programs in existence in certain states seek to set prices of all drugs sold within those states through the regulation and administration of the sale of prescription drugs. Expansion of these programs, in particular, state Medicaid programs, or changes required in the way in which Medicaid rebates are calculated under such programs, could adversely affect the price we receive for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

WE ARE INVOLVED IN VARIOUS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CERTAIN GOVERNMENT INQUIRIES AND MAY EXPERIENCE UNFAVORABLE OUTCOMES OF SUCH PROCEEDINGS OR INQUIRIES, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We are involved in various legal proceedings and certain government inquiries, including, but not limited to, patent infringement, product liability, breach of contract and claims involving Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements, some of which are described in our periodic reports and involve claims for, or the possibility of fines and penalties involving, substantial amounts of money or other relief. If any of these legal proceedings or inquiries were to result in an adverse outcome, the impact could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
With respect to product liability, the Company maintains commercial insurance to protect against and manage a portion of the risks involved in conducting its business. Although we carry insurance, we believe that no reasonable amount of insurance can fully protect against all such risks because of the potential liability inherent in the business of producing pharmaceuticals for human consumption. To the extent that a loss occurs, depending on the nature of the loss and the level of insurance coverage maintained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE ENTER INTO VARIOUS AGREEMENTS IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS WHICH PERIODICALLY INCORPORATE PROVISIONS WHEREBY WE INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT. IN THE EVENT THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PERFORM UNDER THESE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS, IT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into employment, legal settlement, and other agreements which incorporate indemnification provisions. We maintain insurance coverage which we believe will effectively mitigate our obligations under certain of these indemnification provisions. However, should our obligation under an indemnification provision exceed our coverage or should coverage be denied, our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially affected and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR CONTINUED ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL. ANY FAILURE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Because our success is largely dependent on the scientific nature of our business, it is imperative that we attract and retain qualified personnel in order to develop new products and compete effectively. If we fail to attract and retain key scientific, technical or management personnel, our business could be affected adversely. Additionally, while we have employment agreements with certain key employees in place, their employment for the duration of the agreement is not guaranteed. If we are unsuccessful in retaining all of our key employees, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

RECENT DECISIONS BY THE FDA, CURRENT BRAND TACTICS AND OTHER FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL HAVE PLACED OUR BUSINESS UNDER INCREASING PRESSURE, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We believe that certain recent FDA rulings are contrary to multiple sections of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Administrative Procedures Act, the FDA’s published regulations and the legal precedent on point. These decisions call into question the rules of engagement in our industry and have added a level of unpredictability that may materially adversely affect our business and the generic industry as a whole. While we continue to challenge these recent decisions as well as current brand tactics that undermine congressional intent, we cannot guarantee that we will prevail or predict when or if these matters will be rectified. If they are not, our business, financial position and results of operations could suffer and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
WE HAVE BEGUN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM. AS WITH ANY IMPLEMENTATION OF A SIGNIFICANT NEW SYSTEM, DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED COULD RESULT IN BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS, AND COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
We have begun the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system to enhance operating efficiencies and provide more effective management of our business operations. Implementations of ERP systems and related software carry risks such as cost overruns, project delays and business interruptions and delays. If we experience a material business interruption as a result of our ERP implementation, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
CHANGING THE FISCAL YEAR END INVOLVES INCREMENTAL WORK AND COMPLEXITIES AND RESULTS IN THE ACCELERATION OF CERTAIN DEADLINES. FAILURE TO MEET THESE ACCELERATED DEADLINES AND/OR ISSUES RESULTING FROM THE ADDITIONAL WORK AND COMPLEXITIES COULD IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CAUSE OUR STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
The Company has announced its current plans to change its fiscal year end from March 31st to December 31st. While the Board of Directors has not yet acted to change the bylaws to effect this change, the planned approach, once implemented, would involve significant incremental work as well as certain complexities and expedited deadlines. Among them are the need to reconfigure certain internal processes and systems, the acceleration of effectiveness testing for certain Sarbanes-Oxley compliance measures for Mylan and its subsidiaries, and accelerated external audit timing and reporting, including the potential impact of the pending Merck Generics acquisition. Issues may arise as a result of these additional complexities or expedited deadlines or we may fail to meet compliance requirements within these accelerated deadlines which could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
WE MUST MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS AND BE ABLE, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, TO PROVIDE AN ASSERTION AS TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SUCH CONTROLS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS OR TO IMPLEMENT NEW OR IMPROVED CONTROLS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE.
 
Effective internal controls are necessary for the Company to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports. We are spending a substantial amount of management time and resources to comply with changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley


44


Table of Contents

Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and the New York Stock Exchange rules. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestations as to the effectiveness of these controls by our independent registered public accounting firm. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
During fiscal year 2007 the Company acquired a controlling stake in Matrix. For purposes of Management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2007 we elected to exclude Matrix from the scope of management’s assessment as permitted by guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This acquired business will be included in management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting in fiscal year 2008. If the Company fails to implement and maintain adequate internal controls at Matrix, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.
 
THERE ARE INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED IN ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP. ANY FUTURE CHANGES IN ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS USED OR NECESSARY REVISIONS TO PRIOR ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS OR ASSUMPTIONS OR CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS COULD LEAD TO A RESTATEMENT OR REVISION TO PREVIOUSLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND COULD CAUSE THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE. IN ADDITION, WE ARE NOT PROVIDING ESTIMATED EPS GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 AND CAUTION THAT INVESTORS SHOULD NOT RELY ON ESTIMATES MADE BY OTHERS.
 
The consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in the periodic reports we file with the SEC are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets (including intangible assets), liabilities, revenues, expenses (including acquired in process research and development) and income. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to change in the future and any necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments or assumptions could lead to a restatement. Also, any new or revised accounting standards may require adjustments to previously issued financial statements. Any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets (including goodwill and other intangible assets), liabilities, revenues, expenses (including acquired in process research and development) and income. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
 
On February 1, 2007, we announced that for fiscal 2008 we will not be providing detailed earnings guidance. Any third-party estimates of our expected earnings per share have been and will be made without our participation or endorsement. Because these estimates may be inaccurate, we caution against reliance upon them in making an investment decision.

          In addition, you have advised us that, on the closing date of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”), you and your subsidiaries, and the Acquired Business, will repay all indebtedness and preferred stock outstanding prior to the Closing Date and terminate all commitments to make extensions of credit (the “Refinancing”) under your and their existing indebtedness (the “Existing Indebtedness”), other than the Company’s existing 1.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2012, the existing indebtedness of Matrix Laboratories Inc., indebtedness of the Acquired Business that is outstanding on the Closing Date (“Acquired Business Indebtedness”) and intercompany and other indebtedness reasonably acceptable to the Commitment Parties (collectively, the “Indebtedness to Remain Outstanding”).
          You have advised us that the consideration for the Acquisition and the funds for the Refinancing and to pay related fees and expenses will be provided from the following sources: (a) approximately $1,000,000,000 of cash on hand of the Company; (b) not less than $2,850,000,000 in gross cash proceeds from either, or a combination of, (A) the issuance (each, a “Notes Offering” and together, the “Notes Offerings”) by the Company of (i) up to $2,100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) due not earlier than eight years from the date of issuance having no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity and (ii) up to $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes” and, together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) due not earlier than eight years from the date of issuance having no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity or (B) the drawdown under an unsecured senior interim loan (the “Interim Loan”) in an amount up to $2,850,000,000 which would be anticipated to be refinanced with a combination of debt securities substantially similar to the Notes (the “Take-out Securities”), with the amount of the Interim Loan to be determined by the amount, if any, that $2,850,000,000 exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued on the Closing Date; and (c) borrowings under new senior secured first lien credit facilities in the US dollar equivalent amount of $4,850,000,000 (the “Senior Credit Facilities”; the Senior Credit Facilities and the Interim Loan are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities”).
          The Acquisition, the Notes Offerings (if consummated), the Refinancing, the entering into and borrowings under the Credit Facilities by the parties herein described and the other transactions contemplated hereby entered into and consummated in connection with the Acquisition are herein referred to as the “Transactions.”
          You have requested that each Commitment Party commit to provide a portion of the Credit Facilities in order to finance the Transactions and to pay certain related fees and expenses.
          Accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, each Commitment Party hereby severally agrees with you as follows:


 

-3-

          1. Commitment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to herein, in the Fee Letter (the “Fee Letter”) dated the date hereof and delivered to you, the Senior Credit Facilities Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto (and incorporated by reference herein) as Exhibit A (the “Senior Term Sheet”) and the Interim Loan Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto (and incorporated by reference herein) as Exhibit B (the “Interim Loan Term Sheet” and, together with the Senior Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”), (i) Merrill Lynch hereby severally commits to provide to the Company (x) 60% of the aggregate amount of each of the Senior Credit Facilities and (y) 59.34% of the Interim Loan, (ii) Citigroup hereby severally commits to provide to the Company (x) 30% of the aggregate amount of each of the Senior Credit Facilities and (y) 24.74% of the Interim Loan and (iii) GSCP hereby severally commits to provide to the Company (x) 10% of the aggregate amount of each of the Senior Credit Facilities and (y) 15.92% of the Interim Loan. The commitments of each of the Commitment Parties hereunder is subject to the negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive documentation for the Credit Facilities (the “Credit Documents”) reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheets and in the Fee Letter. To the extent that a Notes Offering is consummated prior to the Closing Date, the commitments of each Commitment Party hereunder shall be reduced on the date of consummation thereof on a pro rata basis in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds from the Notes covered thereby, first, in respect of the Interim Loan and second, in respect of the Senior Credit Facilities (in amounts among the tranches thereof as mutually agreed by the Arrangers (as defined below) and the Company).
          2. Syndication. We reserve the right and intend, prior to or after the execution of the Credit Documents, to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments to one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Company (together with the Commitment Parties, the “Lenders”). Merrill Lynch and Citigroup shall serve as the sole and exclusive joint lead arrangers (the “Arrangers”) and bookrunners for the Credit Facilities (with Merrill Lynch’s name receiving “top left” placement on any marketing materials relating to the Credit Facilities). The Arrangers (or their affiliates) will manage all aspects of the syndication (in consultation with you), including decisions as to the selection of potential Lenders reasonably acceptable to you to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which Lenders will participate and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders, and the Arrangers will exclusively perform all functions and exercise all authority as customarily performed and exercised in such capacities, including selecting counsel for the Lenders and negotiating the Credit Documents. Any agent or arranger titles (including co-agents) awarded to other Lenders will be determined by the Arrangers and be reasonably acceptable to you and shall not entail any role with respect to the matters referred to in this paragraph without the prior consent of the Arrangers and you. You agree that no Lender will receive compensation outside the terms contained herein and in the Fee Letter in order to obtain its commitment to participate in the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall otherwise agree. Each of the Commitment Parties


 

-4-

acknowledges and agrees that its commitment is not conditioned upon a successful syndication.
          You understand that we intend to commence the separate syndication of each of the Credit Facilities promptly in syndications to be managed by the Arrangers, and you agree actively to assist us in achieving a timely syndication that is satisfactory to us. The syndication efforts will be accomplished by a variety of means, including direct contact during the syndication between senior management, advisors and affiliates of the Company on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders on the other hand, and the Company hosting, with the Arrangers, at least one meeting with prospective Lenders at such times and places as the Arrangers may reasonably request. You agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause senior management, advisors and affiliates of the Acquired Business to be available for any such meeting or contact. You agree to, upon our request, (a) provide and use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Business and your and its advisors to provide, to us all information reasonably requested by us to successfully complete the syndication, including the information and projections (including updated projections) contemplated hereby, (b) assist and use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause your advisors to assist, and use your commercially reasonable efforts to have the Acquired Business assist, us in the preparation of a Confidential Information Memorandum and other marketing materials relating to the Credit Facilities (to be completed not later than 20 business days prior to the Closing Date to the extent reasonably practicable) which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers and suitable for use in a customary syndication of bank financing with all financial statements (both audited and unaudited, which shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission requirements), information and projections relating to the Company, the Acquired Business and their respective subsidiaries as deemed reasonably necessary to be included therein by the Arrangers, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to make available representatives of the Company and the Acquired Business for meetings with prospective Lenders, (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at your expense, public ratings of each of the Credit Facilities and the Notes from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and to participate actively in the process of securing such ratings and (d) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Investment Banks (not later than 20 business days prior to the Closing Date to the extent reasonably practicable) a printed preliminary Rule 144A confidential offering memorandum relating to the issuance of the Notes, which contains all financial statements and other data to be included therein (including all audited financial statements and all unaudited financial statements (each of which shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission requirements and shall have undergone a SAS 100 (or equivalent) review) and all appropriate pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and substantially all other data (including selected financial data) that the Securities and Exchange Commission would


 

-5-

require in a registered offering of the Notes except as may otherwise be agreed by the Investment Banks (and you will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Investment Banks not less than 20 business days to market the Notes prior to the Closing Date)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) provision of the foregoing within such timeframes or prior to the Closing Date shall not be a condition to the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder and (y) your obligations with respect to the delivery of financial statements, and data derived therefrom, of the Acquired Business shall be limited to your using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the preparation by the Sellers of such financial statements and data. You also agree to use your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that our syndication efforts benefit materially from the Acquired Business’s and your (and your affiliates’) existing lending relationships. To ensure an orderly and effective syndication of each Facility, you agree that, until the earlier of (i) termination of the syndication (as determined by the Arrangers) and (ii) the Closing Date, you will ensure that, other than such financing as has been disclosed to the Arrangers prior to the date hereof, no competing issue of debt securities, commercial bank facilities or other debt facilities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is announced, offered, placed or arranged, without the prior written consent of the Arrangers (which consent shall be withheld only if the Arrangers reasonably determine that such announcement, offering, placement or arrangement would be reasonably likely to have a detrimental effect upon the syndication of the Credit Facilities or the marketing of the Notes).
          3. Fees. As consideration for our commitment hereunder and our agreement to arrange, manage, structure and syndicate the Credit Facilities, as applicable, you agree to pay to us the fees as set forth in the Fee Letter.
          4. Conditions. Each Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder is subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheets and in Annex I to this Commitment Letter. For purposes of this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheets, the “subsidiaries” of the Company shall, unless otherwise indicated, be deemed to include those that will become subsidiaries of the Company in connection with the Transactions. There shall be no conditions to each Commitment Party’s commitment hereunder except those set forth in the Term Sheets and in Annex I to this Commitment Letter.
          5. Information and Investigations. You hereby represent and covenant that (a) all information and data concerning the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates (excluding financial projections and projected industry data) that have been or will be made available by you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates, representatives or advisors to us or any Lender (whether prior to or on or after the date hereof) in connection with the Transactions or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, to your knowledge, any such information and data provided concerning the Sellers or their subsidiaries, affiliates, representatives or advisors that have been or will be made available by you or the Sellers or any of your or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates, representatives or advisors to us or


 

-6-

any Lender (the “Information”), does not and will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, (b) all financial projections and projected industry data concerning the Company and its subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Projections”) that have been made or will be prepared by or on behalf of you or any of your subsidiaries or officers (or by your representatives or advisors on your behalf) and that have been or will be made available to us or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time provided. If you become aware that the foregoing representation is incorrect in any material respect, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement the Information and the Projections from time to time until the Closing Date so that the representation and covenant in the preceding sentence remain correct in all material respects. In syndicating the Credit Facilities we will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent check or verification thereof.
          You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Arrangers will make available Information and Projections to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting such Information and Projections on IntraLinks, SyndTrak Online or similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). You agree to assist us in preparing an additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used by Public Lenders that does not contain any material non-public information. It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, authorization letters will be included in any Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum to prospective Lenders, containing a representation to the Arrangers that the public-side version does not include material non-public information about the Company, its subsidiaries or its securities. You agree to identify that portion of the Information that may be distributed to the Public Lenders as “PUBLIC”. You acknowledge and agree that the following documents may be distributed to Public Lenders (unless you promptly notify us otherwise): (a) drafts and final definitive documentation with respect to the Credit Facilities; (b) administrative materials prepared by the Agents for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda); and (c) notification of changes in the terms of the Credit Facilities.
          6. Indemnification. You agree (i) to indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and each of the other Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each Commitment Party and each such other person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, joint or several,


 

-7-

          You agree that, without our prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld), neither you nor any of your subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions hereof (if an Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional written release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

  Borrower may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR borrowings (or, if agreed to by all applicable Lenders, nine or twelve months).
