Mylan.
A company diversified.
Mylan is a company on the move. Through acquisitions and alliances, we have
expanded our product mix and moved beyond the solid dosage form of tablets and
capsules.
About Mylan Laboratories Inc.
Mylan Laboratories Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the
development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing of generic and
proprietary pharmaceutical, wound care and dermatological products. We are a
diversified pharmaceutical company with a core generic business, a growing
branded presence and varied drug delivery capabilities. Mylan Pharmaceutical
Inc., the generic division of the company, has a growing product portfolio
consisting of more than 105 prescription products covering 33 therapeutic
categories. The Company sells these products to proprietary and ethical
pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, drug store chains, drug
manufacturers and public and governmental agencies. The branded division of the
Company, Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc., markets eight proprietary products through
its detail sales force. Bertek is responsible for the development and promotion
of all branded products including wound care, dermatology, branded transdermal
patches and solid oral medications. Mylan is a pharmaceutical company with
expanding capabilities in research and development, marketing and distribution.
We are exploring a full range of delivery channels for a widening range of
products. We are building the company through strategic alliances, acquisitions
and agreements, and we are aggressively focused on new product development. For
the past 38 years our reputation has been built on integrity and on the ability
to provide quality, service and prompt delivery to our customers. Mylan has
become a leading player in the marketplace and it is our intention to be an even
stronger presence in the future.
Bertek Branded Products
Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc., the branded drug division of Mylan, was formed
in late 1996, to market acquired and internally developed branded
pharmaceuticals. The three therapeutic areas of concentration include
cardiology, neurology and dermatology. The cardiology focus is built upon the
Maxzide(R) franchise, and has expanded to now include Clorpres(TM)
(anti-hypertensive), and Nitrek(R) (Nitroglycerin Transdermal), which are sold
by Bertek's sales force to general practitioners, internists and cardiologists.
Mylan has several compounds in development such as Dotarizine for migraine
headaches, and Apomorphine for the on/off fluctuations associated with
Parkinson's disease, that upon approval, will be key components in the area of
neurology. The key driver to Mylan's presence in dermatol-ogy is Penederm, which
adds three marketed dermatology products, near-term and long-term R&D
opportunities and topical drug delivery technologies. Penederm is a great
strategic fit for Bertek. In addition to selling the three Penederm products to
dermatologists, these products are also detailed by the primary care sales
force. Bertek also markets burn and wound care products via their institutional
sales force and has a dedicated managed care group to service that arena. As
products are added to Bertek's branded portfolio, the primary care sales force
must expand. Therefore, Bertek has implemented the hiring of 25 sales reps per
quarter for the primary care group until the sales force grows to approximately
250-300 reps. The Company believes a force of that size should provide the
critical mass for the products currently marketed and in development.
Mylan Acquires Exclusive Rights to Zagam(R)
Mylan acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to manufacture and market Zagam(R)
(Sparfloxicin) from Rhone-Poulenc Rorer in August 1998. Zagam(R) is a patent
protected oral antibiotic indicated for the treatment of community-acquired
pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc. launched Zagam(R)
into theprimary care, institutional and managed care markets, October 23, 1998.

Penederm
Penederm Inc. specializes in the development and marketing of unique
dermatology products. The current product portfolio consists of three topical
prescription products Avita(R), Mentax(R) and Acticin(R). Avita(R) offers
dermatologists and patients a milder formulation of retinoic acid for the
treatment of acne with excellent efficacy utilizing their TopiCare Delivery
Compounds(R). Avita(R) cream was launched in 1997, followed by the Avita(R) gel
formulation in early 1998. Mentax(R), is a prescription topical antifungal cream
for the treatment of athlete's foot (tinea pedis), groin fungus (tinea cruris)
and ringworm (tinea corporis). Mentax(R) has been approved by the FDA for
athlete's foot by treating twice a day for only one-we ek. This definitive
one-week treatment strengthens the positioning of Mentax(R) in the antifungal
market, providing a good point of differentiation from those antifungal
products, which require treatment for up to four weeks. In 1998, Penederm
launched Permethrin 5% cream under the Penederm brand-name Acticin(R).
Acticin(R) is a topical prescription product for the treatment of scabies.
In October 1998, Mylan acquired Penederm Inc., an emerging specialty
pharmaceutical company with emphasis in the field of dermatology. Penederm
currently has three approved prescription products and a rich pipeline of
promising products under active development utilizing their proprietary TopiCare
Delivery Compounds(R).
Avita(R) is one of a new generation of topical retinoic acid treatments for
acne. Avita(R) offers dermatologists and patients a mild formulation of retinoic
acid with excellent efficacy. Acticin(R) is a topical application for the
treatment of scabies infection. A single application of Acticin(R) applied to
the entire body generally cures the scabies infection.

Penederm Technology
Penederm's pipeline represents promising near-term and long-term growth
opportunities. Penederm's technology foundation offers many opportunities for
new drug introduction in the future. These opportunities may include second
generation Mentax(R) products in different formulations or for new indications.
The Company is also making progress on two new therapies, a form of Mentax(R)
for nail fungus and a vitamin D analog for psoriasis. Penederm also has active
Phase II programs evaluating a Vitamin D derivative for the treatment of
psoriasis and advanced retinoic acid formulations for the treatment of actinic
keratosis and related indications. Mentax(R) is currently approved for three
types of skin fungal infections. The fourth indication, tinea versicolor (a
fungal infection characterized by irregular patches of lighter or darker
pigmentation surrounding the skin), entered Phase III study in April. The
protocol calls for two, 130 patient studies at ten trial sites for a 12-month
duration. In addition to its approved use against skin fungal infections,
Mentax(R) also has potential as a treatment for onychomycosis (nail fungus). It
is estimated that 12 million people now suffer from this condition and side
effects and difficulty of administration limit the only treatments currently
available. It is anticipated that Penederm's current R&D efforts will not only
continue, but will be expanded to include some of Mylan's research projects that
have the potential to be improved by Penederm's drug delivery technology.
Mylan continues to increase its emphasis and make significant investments
in research and development New product development is essential as the Company
expands into the branded arena. Currently, there are four proprietary products
in advanced clinical testing. Dotarizine is a novel product indicated for the
prophylaxis of migraine head-aches. We have successfully completed a 429
patient, Phase II study and are presently preparing for two double blind, 800
patient Phase III efficacy trials. Phase III clinicals should begin in mid 1999,
and take approximately 12 to 18 months for completion. The second compound,
Sertaconazole, is a topical antifungal that was licensed from Ferrer in
Barcelona, Spain. Sertaconazole is currently in advanced Phase III study with an
anticipated NDA filing in calendar 1999. Apomorphine is indicated for the on/off
fluctuations in late stage Parkinson's disease. The Phase II study has been
completed and meetings have been held with the FDA to discuss the protocol for
Phase III clinicals. The final compound in development is a wound care product
for diabetic foot ulcers. This unnamed compound is a second-generation product
with orphan drug status and novel delivery. The Phase II study has been
completed and Phase III will consist of two parallel studies involving 400
patients each, with a projected completion of 12 to 18 months.

Cystagon(R)
Five years ago, in August of 1994, the FDA awarded Mylan Orphan Drug
Approval for Cystagon(R). This novel compound is indicated for the treatment of
Nephropathic Cystinosis, a very rare genetic disorder that afflicts children and
adults. Prior to the advent of Cystagon(R), Cystinosis led to a progressive
decline in renal function and often to end- stage renal failure. Therefore,
Cystagon(R) is an important medical advance in the management of this condition.
Approximately 250 patients in the United States are being treated for this
disease. Due to the small patient population, Mylan utilizes Chronimed as the
specialized U.S. distributor for this product.
Receiving FDA approval for Cystagon(R) was a particularly proud moment for
everyone at Mylan. However, our commitment to the patients diagnosed with this
devastating disease reached far beyond the U.S. to the hundreds of patients
throughout the world who were in desperate need for a treatment. Through the
efforts of Mylan and Orphan Europe, Cystagon(R) was the first orphan drug to be
approved under the European Union Centralized System in June of 1997. Today 312
patients within the EU countries are being treated. Product is also available to
patients in other European countries and the Middle East on a named patient
basis.
It is estimated that approximately 355 patients are being treated with
Cystagon(R) in Europe and the Middle East with the total patient population in
those regions estimated to be 500-600 patients.
Mylan received FDA approval for Sulfamylon(R) Powder for 5% Topical
Solution (Mafenide Acetate) June 15, 1998. Sulfamylon(R) is indicated for use as
an adjunctive topical anti-microbial agent to control bacterial infection when
used under moist dressing over meshed autografts on excised burn wounds.
Sulfamylon(R) is the first drug approved for this indication and it has
orphan drug status. The Bertek Institutional sales force launched Sulfamylon(R)
July 15, 1998, targeting 144 burn centers throughout the U.S.
Mylan, your partner in quality, the name you can trust. With American's
health and well being at stake, quality must always be the primary consideration
in dispensing the pharmaceutical products that bear our label. For more than 38
years, Mylan has considered quality before all else in everything we do from
research and development to manufacturing and distribution. That is why our name
is synonymous with quality throughout the pharmaceutical industry.

Product opportunities often require certain drug delivery or manufacturing
technologies. Mylan has a network of strategic alliances that provide access to
these unique technologies.
Mylan has had an ongoing product development collaboration with Penwest
Ltd.; whereby the companies develop oral controlled release formulations
utilizing Penwest's patented TIMERx(R) delivery technology. This collaboration
covers three products: Procardia XL(R), Glucotrol XL(R) and Adalat CC(R). Mylan
filed the first ANDA for 30mg. Nifedipine ER (Procardia XL(R)) utilizing
TIMERx(R) in June of 1997 and received tentative approval for the product March
15, 1999. As the first company to file its application with the FDA for this
product, Mylan will be entitled to 180 days of exclusivity upon product launch.
Mylan has also signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Meridian
Medical Technologies, a worldwide leader in the development of auto-injector
drug delivery systems. Under the agreement, Meridian will license, manufacture
and supply a line of generic injectable drugs to Mylan for marketing and
distribution. Meridian had submitted three product applications to the FDA for
hospital use, and on March 9, 1999, the FDA approved Meridian's application for
Acyclovir injection, a generic drug for the treatment of herpes and shingles.
Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc. will be responsible for the marketing of this
product upon its launch.
TopiCare delivery technology delivers larger polymer molecules in the upper
layers of the skin (A), while smaller molecules are deposited in the deeper
layers (B). This unique system can reduce skin irritation and can enhance the
duration of the medication.
Penederm, based in Foster City, California, is a drug delivery company with
a market focus in dermatology. Through its proprietary TopiCare Delivery
Compounds(R), Penederm develops and markets topically administered prescription
dermatological products. The patented TopiCare delivery technology consists of a
group of liquid polymers designed to hold skin care agents at targeted levels on
and in the upper layers of the skin. These compounds have been shown to have the
potential to prevent wash off by repeated contact with water, enhance the
duration of action of active ingredients, reduce dosage requirements, and reduce
irritation common to many dermatological medications.
Because of their efficacy, safety, flexibility and ease of development,
TopiCare delivery technology can be applied to a number of compounds Mylan
currently has in development, as well as Penederm's own pipeline of prescription
dermatological products. This provides Mylan with proven effective technology
for topical pharmaceutical delivery.

Mylan Technologies Inc. is a leading manufacturer of transdermal drug
delivery systems with unique state-of-the-art technologies for producing
finished pharmaceutical products. Transdermal drug delivery has proven to be
more effective than traditional oral delivery in certain pharmaceutical
applications. It offers many advantages over existing delivery such as ease of
use, improved compliance and market expansion for existing drugs. The patches
developed by Mylan are smaller and more cosmetically elegant than traditional
patches and since they cover less area, they can reduce common side effects such
as skin irritation.
Mylan Technologies is actively involved in a variety of R&D projects
utilizing transdermal drug delivery technology to provide new products for
marketing by Mylan subsidiaries. The first product to be approved and marketed
utilizing this unique delivery system was the Nitroglycerin Transdermal System,
marketed by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, which is bioequivalent and therapeutically
equivalent to Transderm Nitro(R), and also marketed by Bertek Pharmaceuticals
Inc. as Nitrek(R). Mylan has applied this advanced delivery technology to other
products that are currently filed with the FDA and in development.
Transdermal drug delivery, the delivery of medication into the skin or
through the skin into the bloodstream has proven to be more efficacious for
certain applications than traditional oral drug delivery. Transdermal Drug
Delivery Systems by Mylan Technologies offers a completely integrated source
from the initial concept through final manufacturing.
-10-
Prescription products dispensed in unit-dose packaging provide a distinct
marketing advantage in the institutional marketplace. The UDL Laboratories
division of Mylan manufactures, repackages and markets multi-source and
single-source pharmaceutical products in unit-dose packaging to the
institutional marketplace. UDL offers a broad range of multi-source products,
more than 450 line items, including oral solid, oral liquid and injectable
dosage forms, and special use packaging such as Emergi-script, Bingo,
Control-A-Dose, and Robot Ready. A nine-person detail sales force, targeting
more than 6000 hospitals throughout the U.S., markets the full product line.
UDL augments Mylan's generic business by not only repackaging Mylan generic
products but also contracting products from other manufactures for packaging.
UDL is dedicated to the development of generic liquid products. Via their
specialized liquid manufacturing facility in Largo, Florida, UDL produces more
than 80 liquid products for the institutional market. In June of 1998, the
Company received FDA approval for Nystatin Oral Suspension which compares to
Mycostatin(R) Mark Oral Suspension, and in March of 1999, the Company received
approval for Albuteral Sulfate Oral Solution, which compares to Proventil(R).
Presently, there are three applications filed with the FDA and an additional
seven products are in various stages of development.
Extended Release
Drug delivery has become one of the fastest growing areas of the
pharmaceutical industry. Branded pharmaceutical companies are using drug
delivery as a means of extending patent life, differen-tiating their products
and increasing market share. In today's pharmaceutical marketplace many products
whose patents have expired or will expire have complicated drug delivery
systems.
Mylan's growth strategy has been to target these complex "niche"
opportunities. Mylan has made a commitment to complex drug formulation and
manufacturing by internally developing specialized bead technologies. Mylan has
the ability to formulate products with complex extended release drug delivery
such as Verapamil HCl ER Capsules, which compares to Verelan(R).
Complex extended release formulations often require specialized equipment
for manufacturing. Therefore, the Company has dedicated a 27,000 square foot
manufacturing facility in which it houses state-of-the-art equipment such as the
technical machinery that is essential to manufacture Diltiazem HCl ER Capsules,
which compares to Dilacor XR(R) and Diltiazem HCl ER Capsules which compares to
Cardizem SR(R).
Mylan's leadership position in the generic drug industry is strengthened by
the Company's expertise in developing and commercially manufacturing extended
release and delayed release generic pharmaceuticals.
To date, Mylan has introduced four compounds utilizing its extended release
bead and matrix technology. Additionally, there are 12-14 compounds in various
stages of development that target branded sales of approximately $7 billion.
-11-
The environment for Mylan's core generic business has never been better.
Patent expirations are the catalyst driving the generic industry as a source of
new product opportunities. According to industry analysts, approximately $41
billion in branded drug sales will be coming off patent throughout the next
decade. Additionally, there are products valued at $7 billion that are off
patent with no generic competition.
MylanPharmaceuticals consistently ranked #1 in the number of new and refilled
prescriptions dispensed among all pharmaceutical companies, brand or generic as
tracked by the 1998 IMS National Prescription Audit.

2000
Strategic Alliances
Mylan has been actively seeking strategic alliances to expand its product
line and geographic reach in the market place. In January the company reached an
agreement with Genpharm Inc. of Canada, whereby the companies will co-develop
and Mylan will exclusively market and distribute in the U.S. certain products
Genpharm has in research. The agreement includes 15 branded and generic products
in a variety of dosage forms, including immediate release tablets and capsules,
injectables, controlled and sustained release tablets, nasal sprays and
sublingual sprays. The first product submission has been filed and additional
filings are anticipated to occur in the near future. This agreement furthers a
strategy of Mylan's which is to have products that cover niche areas in the
marketplace.
Mylan's agreement with Draxis Pharmaceutial of Canada provides the
framework for an ongoing collaboration under which Draxis will introduce certain
Mylan products in Canada. Draxis has two appli-cations filed in Canada based on
this alliance. Mylan's alliance with Draxis will enable the Company to expand
the geographic reach of its products into Canada and share the profits from
these Canadian sales without the investments that would otherwise be required to
enter the Canadian market.
Two new generic products now carry the Mylan label via an exclusive
licensing agreement with 3M Pharmaceuticals, Orphenadrine Citrate ER Tablets and
Orphenadrine Citrate, Aspirin and Caffeine Tablets. Orphenadrine Citrate ER is
therapeutically equivalent to Norflex(TM), and is used as a skeletal muscle
relaxant, as is Orphenadrine Citrate, Aspirin and Caffeine Tablets, which is
therapeutically equivalent to Norgesic(TM) and Norgesic(TM) Forte.
Looking to the future As we approach the 21st century, greater emphasis is
placed on our innovator products and drug delivery capabilities as a source of
growth. However, it has been our commitment to quality, reliability and
innovation that has made us a market leader in generic pharmaceuticals in the
20th century. Therefore, we are not looking to the future without regard to our
past. Mylan is a market leader and remains dedicated to being a market leader in
the generic drug industry.
The Business of Approvals
New product introductions are a key ingredient to sustain above average
sales and earnings growth in the generic pharmaceutical industry. Therefore,
Mylan has been aggressively researching and developing compounds to ensure a
steady stream of approvals. Over the past three years Mylan has received
approval for 26 generic products. In fiscal 1999, Mylan submitted 18 ANDAs to
the FDA and received final approval for eleven products, Clomipramine HCl,
Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate, Sulfamylon(R) for 5% Topical Solution, Nystatin Oral
Suspension, Glyburide, Ranitidine, Acyclovir, Clonazepam, Etodolac 500 mg.,
Albuteral Sulfate Syrup and Extended Phenytoin Sodium. Additionally, Mylan
received tentative approval for Terazosin HCl, Buspirone, Astemizole,
Fluoxetine, Verapamil HCl ER, Carbidopa & Levodopa ER and Nifedipine ER 30 mg.
Presently the Company has 35 ANDAs filed with the FDA targeting combined
branded sales of $9-$10 billion. Eight of these are tentatively approved and
will be launched upon the settlement of legal issues with the original NDA
holders or upon their patent expirations. Twenty additional applications have
been targeted for FDA filing in calendar 1999, with combined branded sales of
approximately $6 billion.

1993 to July 1994 the Company had a quarterly dividend program totaling $.107
per share per year. From October 1994 to July 1995 the Company had a quarterly
dividend program totaling $.133 per share per year. Since October 1995 the
Company has had a quarterly dividend program totaling $.16 per share per year.
In addition, the Company paid a special one-time dividend of $.067 per share on
January 13, 1995. The above financial data gives retroactive effect to the
two-for-one stock split effective August 1, 1992 and the three-for-two stock
split effective August 15, 1995.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
Overview
Mylan Laboratories Inc. ("the Company" or "Mylan") recorded net earnings of
$115.4 million for the year ended March 31, 1999, despite recording $29.0
million in charges for acquired in-process research and development during the
year. This represents a 14% increase over net earnings for fiscal 1998 of $100.8
million. Fiscal 1997 net earnings were $63.1 million.
The favorable results of the past two years are indicative of both the
contin-uing evolution of the Company marked by the expansion of the Company's
branded presence and the Company's historical leading role in the generic
pharmaceutical industry.
Historically, earnings from new generic product approvals and increased
generic volume more than offset the loss in net earnings resulting from price
deterioration in the generic market. Beginning in fiscal 1996, however, an
increasingly difficult regulatory environment was compounded by a new wave of
patent litigation by branded pharmaceutical companies under the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Hatch-Waxman Act").
These two factors significantly increased the cost of bringing new generic
products to market and have in many cases diminished the eventual commercial
success of new products by delaying their introduction.
Against this backdrop, the Company decided to accelerate its planned
expansion into the branded markets to meet long-term corporate objectives.
Additionally, despite a promising pipeline of products in development,
management determined the Company would need to further investigate innovative
strategic alliances aimed at expanding both its branded and generic product
lines.
Accordingly, the Company entered into several strategic alliance
relationships in the past two years, some of which resulted in the introduction
of new generic products, including Ranitidine in fiscal 1998 and Orphenadrine
Citrate ER in fiscal 1999, and some of which have broadened the Company's
growing pipeline of products pending FDA approval. In addition, the Company's
acquisition of Penederm Inc. in October of 1998, significantly broadened the
Company's branded capabilities in terms of sales force, existing product line
and branded product pipeline.
In addition to the uncertainty of new product approvals, price
deterioration during fiscal 1996 and 1997 was more severe than at any other time
in the Company's history. The Company estimates that price deterioration in the
generic industry reduced net earnings by approximately $55 million in fiscal
1996 and $75 million in fiscal 1997. Accordingly, the Company recognized that
action, in addition to the above mentioned efforts, needed to be considered.
After an extensive evaluation of its operations, the Company determined that
changes in Mylan's generic pricing practices were in order.
In the second half of fiscal 1998, the Company raised prices on seven
generic products. During fiscal 1999, the Company raised prices on 22 additional
products. The Company estimates that the price increases accounted for $25
million of the increase in net earnings from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998 and $71
million of the increase in net earnings from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999.
In December 1998, actions were commenced by the Federal Trade Commission
("FTC") in connection with two products, Clorazepate and Lorazepam, each of
which were included in the Company's fiscal 1998 price increases. At issue in
the FTC litigation are contracts executed in 1997 between the Company and its
raw material supplier for these products. The FTC claims that the exclusivity
provisions of these contracts violate antitrust laws. These exclusivity
provisions have been rescinded.
The two products under FTC investigation combined for approximately 9%
of the Company's consolidated net sales in fiscal 1998 and 21% in fiscal 1999.
Since June 1998, the Company has seen price deterioration on both of these
-22-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
products and expects to see continued price deterioration in the future.
Additionally, the Company has been informed that significantly higher prices
will be charged by the supplier for future purchases of the raw materials.
Accordingly, the Company expects that net sales and resulting gross margin for
these products in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000 will be less than that
recognized in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999. See "Forward Looking
Statements."
The Company intends to continue to work closely with its customers and
suppliers to ensure that Mylan's full line of generic products continues to be
available to the American public as a cost effective alternative to the
innovator products.
Results of Operations
Net Sales and Gross Margin
The following table outlines net sales, gross margin (net sales less cost of
sales) and the corresponding change from the previous year:(dollars in millions)
Year ended Net Sales Gross Margin Gross Margin
March 31, Dollars Change Dollars Change as % of Sales
1999 $721.1 36% $384.3 60% 53%
1998 528.6 20% 240.3 33% 45%
1997 440.2 12% 180.5 -8% 41%
Generic products represented 88% of consolidated net sales in fiscal
1999, 90% in fiscal 1998 and 87% in fiscal 1997. Accordingly, the changes in net
sales, gross margin and gross margin as a percent of net sales are primarily
indicative of the highly competitive nature of the generic pharmaceutical
industry, the Company's history of obtaining new product approvals and the
impact of price increases and strategic alliances on certain products.
With regard to the Company's generic product line, nine products were
added in fiscal 1997 accounting for $34.1 million in net sales in fiscal 1997
and 13 products were added in fiscal 1998 with aggregate net sales of $61.5
million in fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1999 the Company added nine products with
aggregate net sales of $37.1 million. Included in the fiscal 1999 new products
is Glyburide, a product for which the Company had received an approval from the
FDA and begun marketing in fiscal 1997, but was required to suspend commercial
shipments pending the outcome of certain patent related issues.
Two of the fiscal 1998 new products, Ranitidine and Acyclovir, and two
of the fiscal 1999 new products, Orphenidrine Citrate ER and Orphenadrine
Citrate, Aspirin and Caffeine, are manufactured by other companies and
distributed by the Company under distribution arrangements. Under the terms of
the distribution arrangement on Ranitidine, the Company, in 1998, recognized
$26.8 million recorded under the caption "Other revenues" (See note N to the
consolidated financial statements).
The Company estimates that price deterioration in the generic industry
resulted in reductions in net sales and gross margins of approximately $104
million in fiscal 1997, $32 million in fiscal 1998 and $39 million in fiscal
1999. Selective price increases increased net sales by $47 million and gross
margins by $37 million in fiscal 1998 and increased net sales by $130 million
and gross margins by $109 million in fiscal 1999.
As described under "Overview," the Company has experienced price
deterioration on certain significant generic products on which it increased
prices and anticipates that it will experience further price deterioration on
these and other products in the future. Accordingly, net sales and gross margin
percentages realized in fiscal 1999 are not necessarily indicative of future
results.
-23-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
Total unit volume of generic product shipments, excluding unit dose
shipments, increased by 18% in fiscal 1997, 8% in fiscal 1998 and 10% in fiscal
1999. The higher levels of volume create manufacturing efficiencies which were
realized in each of the three past fiscal years.
Net sales for the Company's branded segment declined from fiscal 1997 to
fiscal 1998 as a result of a realignment of the sales force effort away from the
institutional wound care products which have seen continual price deterioration
and towards physician based products including MAXZIDERegistration Mark,
NITREKRegistration Mark and ClorpresTM. These efforts, coupled with the addition
of ZagamRegistration Mark and SulfamylonRegistration Mark Powder provided for a
25% increase in net sales and gross profit in fiscal 1999 for the Company's
Bertek Pharmaceuticals Inc. Division.
Continued growth in the branded segment is a primary objective for the
Company. Accordingly, on October 2, 1998, the Company completed its acquisition
of Penederm Inc. a Foster City, California corporation which develops and
markets patented topical prescription products. Sales of Penederm products
during the six months post acquisition were approximately $17 million. The
Company has begun to combine the marketing efforts of the Penederm and Bertek
sales forces and anticipates continued improvements in the branded segment
throughout fiscal 2000. The Company also plans to continue to examine external
growth opportunities in the branded arena as internal research and development
projects for branded products continue on their paths towards commercialization.
Research and Development
Research and development expenditures were $61.8 million in fiscal 1999,
$46.3 million in fiscal 1998 and $42.6 million in fiscal 1997. These amounts
represent approximately 9% of net sales in fiscal 1999 and 1998 and 10% in
fiscal 1997.
The following table outlines the approximate allocation of research and
development expenditures: (dollars in millions)
Year ended March 31, 1999 1998 1997
Generic related projects $25.7 $22.0 $20.5
Innovative compound projects 29.2 18.4 16.1
Transdermal patch related 6.9 5.9 6.0
During fiscal 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Genpharm
Inc. to co-develop 15 branded and generic products. Charges related to this
agreement have been allocated evenly to generic and innovative compound
projects. This expenditure represents a majority of the increase in generic
related expenditures.
In addition to half of the charges relating to the Genpharm agreement,
fiscal 1999 expenditures for innovative compound projects include $2.8 million
of expenditures incurred by Penederm subsequent to the date of acquisition and
approximately $10.0 million in accrued funding obligations resulting from an
arbitration award relating to VivoRx (see note S to the consolidated financial
statements). Charges related to the Company's funding of VivoRx in fiscal 1998
were $6.3 million and in fiscal 1997 were $7.8 million.
Under the terms of the arbitration award, the Company has elected to
terminate the licensing arrangement with VivoRx, and will be entitled to recover
approximately $18.0 million from VivoRx through five annual installment payments
commencing in October 2000.
-24-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
In connection with its acquisition of Penederm Inc. in October 1998, the Company
allocated $29.0 million of the purchase price to in-process research and
development. (See note B to the consolidated financial statements.)
Selling and Administrative
Selling and administrative expenses were $125.0 million in fiscal 1999, $96.7
million in fiscal 1998 and $79.9 million in fiscal 1997. These amounts represent
17% of net sales in fiscal 1999 and 18% of net sales for both fiscal 1998 and
fiscal 1997.
The following table identifies the major components of selling and
adminis-trative expenses: (dollars in millions)
Year ended March 31, 1999 1998 1997
Sales and Marketing Expenses:
Generic:
Payroll and related $4.9 $4.5 $4.3
Advertising and promotions 12.7 16.3 3.2
Branded:
Payroll and related 12.8 9.4 8.0
Advertising and promotions 9.2 4.7 3.0
Other sales and marketing 9.9 8.4 9.2
Total Sales and Marketing Expenses $49.5 $43.3 $27.7
Administrative Expenses:
Payroll and related $27.5 $21.9 $19.0
Legal and professional fees 22.2 12.0 6.8
Goodwill amortization 4.0 1.6 1.6
Other administrative 21.8 17.9 24.8
Total Administrative Expenses $75.5 $53.4 $52.2
The significant change in generic advertising and promotions from fiscal
1997 to fiscal 1998 relates primarily to costs associated with the launch of new
generic products including Ranitidine. Such costs included payments of stocking
fees to customers to assist in the conversion and promotion of the new generic
products. Similar programs of lesser magnitude were provided in fiscal 1999. In
prior years such costs were insignificant.
The majority of the increases in branded and other sales and marketing
expenses from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999 relate to Penederm, which incurred $6.9
million of expenses in the second half of fiscal 1999.
Administrative payroll and related expenses increased from fiscal 1998
to fiscal 1999 primarily as a result of expansion of corporate infrastructure
and from the addition of Penederm.
Legal and professional fees relating to patent issues were approximately
$6.0 million in fiscal 1999, $7.2 million in fiscal 1998 and $1.7 million in
fiscal 1997. The significant increase in total legal and professional fees from
fiscal 1998 to fiscal 1999 is related principally to antitrust matters and the
VivoRx litigation.
Equity in Earnings of Somerset
Equity in earnings of Somerset was $5.5 million in fiscal 1999, $10.3 million in
fiscal 1998 and $18.8 million in fiscal 1997. Somerset's contribution to the
Company's net earnings per share was $.04 in fiscal 1999, $.07 in fiscal 1998
and $.14 in fiscal 1997.
Somerset continues research efforts to discover alternative indications
for EldeprylRegistration Mark and the development of other compounds. Unless
such new indications or compounds are approved for commercialization the impact
of generic competition will continue to adversely affect Somerset's contribution
to the Company's net earnings.

Mylan Laboratories Inc.
Other Income
Other income was $18.3 million in fiscal 1999, $14.0 million in fiscal 1998 and
$10.4 million in fiscal 1997. These amounts are derived principally from
investment earnings and gains and losses on the sale of fixed assets net of
estimated provisions (approximating $12.5 million and $2.5 million in 1999 and
1998 respectively) for adjustments to the carrying value of Other assets,
principally related to investments in strategic alliances and non-publicly
traded companies, including VivoRx.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for fiscal 1999 was 40% compared to 32% in fiscal 1998
and 28% in fiscal 1997. Approximately 5% of the fiscal 1999 rate is a result of
the $29 million charge for acquired in-process research and development which is
not deductible for tax purposes. The remainder of the increase in both fiscal
1999 and fiscal 1998 is attributable to increased domestic taxable income
subject to full federal and state taxation.
During fiscal 1998, the Company reached a negotiated settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service regarding audits of the Company's income tax returns
for the years 1992 through 1996. As part of the settlement, the Company agreed
to change the method employed for determining taxable income of its Puerto Rican
operations from the cost sharing method to the profit-split method for all years
after 1996.
Changes in the Federal Tax Code enacted in 1993 reduced tax credits
previously available for operating in Puerto Rico by 50% in fiscal 1997, 55% in
fiscal 1998 and 60% in fiscal 1999. Under current tax law, the amount of income
subject to the Puerto Rican tax credit will be limited for a period of seven
years before complete termination of the credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In fiscal 1999, the Company surpassed the billion-dollar plateau in total assets
and shareholders' equity. Total assets are $1,206.7 million at March 31, 1999
compared to $847.8 million at March 31, 1998. Working capital increased from
$379.7 million in 1998 to $486.6 million in 1999 and the ratio of current assets
to current liabilities decreased from 6.3 to 1 to 6.0 to 1.
Net cash provided from operating activities was $163.4 million in 1999,
$52.7 million in 1998 and $46.5 million in 1997. The primary reasons for the
increase in 1999 were improved operating results and inventory management. Other
contributing factors were the timing of tax payments and collection of accounts
receivable. The increase in operating cash flows also out paced net earnings
growth in 1999 as a result of higher non-cash expense items, including the
increase in allowances on accounts receivable and acquired in-process research
and development.
The Company completed several major capital projects in 1999 that were
started in prior years while continuing to expand its facilities in Morgantown,
West Virginia. The Company's net investment in property, plant and equipment was
$16.7 million in 1999, $28.9 million in 1998 and $26.9 million in 1997. The
expansion at the Morgantown location includes additional manufacturing capacity
and a sales and administrative building. All capital expenditures have been made
with the general funds of the Company and without any bank financing.
In 1999, the Company implemented cash management initiatives by
investing more funds into marketable securities, accounting for the increase in
cash used for investing activities. Generally these funds are invested in
short-term government and corporate securities.
Payments on long-term obligations include obligations assumed in
connection with the acquisition of UDL and installment payments made on certain
product acquisitions. The Company paid cash dividends of $.16 per share in 1999,
1998 and 1997 totaling $58.8 million.
-26-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
The Company's current cash position will not necessarily be indicative
of its position in future periods. As described under "Overview," the Company
has experienced price deterioration on certain significant generic equivalent
products on which it increased prices and anticipates that it will experience
further price deterioration on these and other products in the future, which
could impact future cash flows. In addition, the Company expects to incur
significant legal fees and costs in defending against the various lawsuits
referenced under "Overview" and described under Item 3 of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999, which could also impact
future cash flows. See also "Forward Looking Statements."
Year 2000
The Company has completed a review of its critical information technology ("IT")
and non-IT operating systems for Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance. Y2K compliance
refers to the issue of systems and equipment having date sensitive components
being able to recognize the year 2000. On the basis of this review and the
processes described below, management believes that the costs of remediation and
potential losses related to Y2K issues are unlikely to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In assessing potential Y2K issues, the Company has taken or is taking
the following steps to address its IT and non-IT operating systems:
-Formed a project team across functional departments to complete a
review and identify nonconforming systems.
-Communicated to employees throughout the Company to increase
awareness of issues and activate the identification process.
-Identified critical IT and non-IT nonconforming operating systems and
developed a plan to bring these systems into compliance.
-Established a testing program to ensure that such systems are
compliant.
-Corresponded with customers, vendors, service suppliers and financial
institutions to verify their readiness.
-Developed contingency plans where practical in the event of system
failures.
Because of the continued growth of the Company over the last several
years and prior to the formation of the project team, the Company initiated
major system conversions to accommodate the physical expansion and increased
transaction volume associated with this growth. Many factors were considered
during the selection process. While Y2K compliance was one of the factors
considered, other factors were equally and significantly more important. Any new
systems selected were expected to be and are believed to be Y2K compliant.
The Company has recently completed the system conversions for all major
operating and financial systems. All such systems have been certified by the
vendor to be Y2K compliant. The Company has substantially completed its own
testing on these systems and verified their Y2K compliance.
Due to the recent independent upgrades and replacements of its computer
systems to accommodate its growth, the Company has not been required to spend,
nor does it anticipate spending, significant incremental funds to become Y2K
compliant. The funds for system conversions have been financed through operating
revenue of the Company. The Company has neither delayed, nor anticipates
delaying, any significant information system projects prior to the year 2000.
The project team continues to evaluate and update contingency plans.
These plans are developed based on correspondence with customers, vendors, raw
material suppliers, service suppliers and financial institutions regarding the
status of their Y2K readiness and the results of testing performed on the
Company's internal systems. With the testing of the Company's own systems
substantially complete, more emphasis will be placed on obtaining and verifying
third party responses. Contingency plans will evolve and change with each
favorable or unfavorable response. As part of this process and due to the
critical nature of the Company's products, the Company has also initiated steps
to monitor customers' orders and buying patterns. The Company has taken these
steps to ensure the availability of its products to all its customers as the
millennium approaches.
-27-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
While the project team continues to develop contingency plans for the more
likely scenarios of possible business interruptions, there can be no assurance
that the project team will identify and develop successful contingency plans for
all of the business interruptions that could possibly occur.
Management believes that the Company has acted with appropriate
diligence to address potential Y2K issues. The Company is, however, dependent on
third parties, such as its customers, vendors, raw material suppliers, service
suppliers which include energy, water, communication and transportation and
financial institutions, to make their own systems Y2K compliant. If these
entities fail to remedy their Y2K issues, the Company could potentially suffer
interruptions in its business operations. These interruptions could potentially
delay the Company in its manufacturing or distribution of some or all its
products for an undeterminable amount of time. In addition, the Company could
experience the corruption of data in its own internal information systems. Such
corruption could lead to temporary interruptions in certain isolated business
operations. These interruptions may or may not lead to an adverse impact on the
Company's overall business operations.
Other Matters
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
that SFAS No. 133 will have on its financial position and results of operations.
Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in market values on
its investments in marketable debt and equity securities, including marketable
securities owned indirectly through certain pooled asset funds. Market prices on
debt securities generally bear an inverse relationship to changes in interest
rates. The Company also invests in overnight deposits and money market funds and
marketable securities with maturities of less than three months. These
instruments are classified as cash or cash equivalents for financial reporting
purposes and have minimal or no interest rate risk. The Company also invests in
non-public securities, often in consideration of its strategic interests. The
Company does not consider these investments to be market risk sensitive.
The Company attempts to mitigate its exposure to market risk by
assessing the relative proportion of its investments in cash and cash
equivalents and the relatively stable and risk minimized returns available on
such investments with the risks attendant to its investments in debt and equity
securities. The Company's objective in managing its exposure to changes in the
market value of its investments in debt and equity securities is to balance the
risk of the impact of such changes on earnings and cash flows with the Company's
expectations for investment returns. The Company's pooled asset funds and
certain of its other investments in debt and equity securities are managed by
professional portfolio managers. The Company was not a party to any forward or
derivative option contract related to interest rates or equity security prices
during fiscal 1999.
The fair market value of the debt securities held by the Company at
March 31, 1999 was $60.2 million, of which $42.4 million had maturities of less
than one year (the market values of which are generally less sensitive to
interest rate fluctuations than is the case with longer term debt instruments).
The fair market value of the equity securities held by the Company at March 31,
1999 was $48.9 million. Such investments collectively represent 9% of the
Company's total assets as of March 31, 1999 and 36% of the aggregate value of
debt and equity securities and cash and cash equivalents held by the Company at
such date. Assuming an instantaneous 10% decrease in the market values of the
Company's debt and equity securities, the change in the aggregate fair market
value of these securities would be $10.9 million.
Forward Looking Statements
Various statements in this Report state or suggest that the Company expects to
increase revenues and to continue to be profitable in the future by employing
various strategies which include continuing to seek, among other things, to
introduce new lines of generic equivalent products, to enter into alliances with
other
-28-
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations and Financial Position
Mylan Laboratories Inc.
manufacturers, to strengthen the development of branded products and to increase
prices on select generic equivalent products in its line. These are
forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those projected or suggested in any forward-looking statement due to
various important factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
The Company's results of operations depend to a significant extent on
its ability to develop and bring to market new generic equivalent products.
Generally, following the expiration of patents and other FDA exclusivity
periods, the first manufacturers to bring a generic equivalent to the market
achieve higher revenues and gross profits than competitors that subsequently
enter the market. As competing products enter the market, prices, sales volume
and profit margins of the first generic equivalents decline significantly.
Furthermore, since 1997, the Company has increased prices on selected older
generic equivalent products, including in some cases generic equivalents which
were largely abandoned by competitors, which has encouraged other generic
manufacturers to reenter the market. These conditions have also resulted or are
expected to result in price deterioration on these products.
In addition to suffering price deterioration on its generic equivalent
products generally, the Company's results of operation for fiscal 1999 continued
to be impacted by delays in its ability to introduce new generic equivalent
products due to litigation initiated by branded manufacturers under the
Hatch-Waxman Act to extend the exclusivity periods of drugs on which patents
were expiring. The failure of Congress or the courts to address the present
abuses of the Hatch-Waxman Act could diminish the comme rcial success of new
products introduced by the Company, resulting in both lower revenues and gross
margins.
The Company is seeking to strengthen its development of branded
products. Obtaining approval from the FDA to market new (branded) pharmaceutical
products in the United States is a lengthy, complex and expensive process.
Products which appear promising in the research laboratories may fail to survive
the testing phase due to ineffectiveness or as a result of unforeseen side
effects. Even if the Company is successful in obtaining approval for new
products, no assurance can be given that such products will be accepted in the
medical community as being as effective as alternative forms of treatment for
indicated conditions.
The Company's principal customers include wholesale drug distributors
and major drug store chains. A continuation of the consolidation, which has been
experienced in these pharmaceutical distribution networks in recent years, is
likely to result in an increase in pricing pressures on pharmaceutical
manufacturers.
As described under Item 3 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 1999, the Company is involved in numerous
lawsuits, including anti-trust and anti-competition litigation brought by the
Federal Trade Commission, the Attorneys General for 33 states and numerous
private litigants, as well as a class action lawsuit alleging that the Company
violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the alleged
monopolization of certain raw materials used to manufacture drugs. An
unfavorable outcome in these suits could have a potentially adverse effect on
the Company's financial position and results of operation or, in certain
circumstances, the manner in which the Company is permitted to conduct its
future operations.
The statements under "Year 2000" of "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" which express the
Company's belief that Y2K problems will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company may also be forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause
the Company to be unable to avoid any material Y2K problems include the failure
of its Y2K project team to identify latent or other non-compliant codes or
technologies, the failure of any of the customers, vendors, service suppliers or
financial institutions with which the Company deals to address their own Y2K
problems or the ineffectiveness of any contingency plans put in place by the
Company to mitigate the effects of interruptions in its businesses due to Y2K
problems.

regulatory environment, customers, markets and competitive conditions included
in Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1999.
