Mr. Rice concluded, "Earlier this week, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement providing for the acquisition of Andrx by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Our Board of Directors and management team believe this offer ascribes significant value to our manufacturing, R&D, controlled-release technologies, distribution network and employees, while providing excellent value to our shareholders. The combination of Andrx's and Watson's complementary assets and capabilities will create a unique global player in the specialty pharmaceutical industry." Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2005 On a quarterly sequential basis, distributed products revenue decreased by 5.0% to $155.5 million in the 2005 Quarter from $163.6 million for the 2005 third quarter.

In the 2005 Quarter, gross margin on distributed products was 20.8% compared to 20.3 % for the 2005 third quarter. In the 2005 Quarter, distributed products revenues decreased from $181.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Quarter), due to overall price declines common to generic products, the discontinuation of the distribution of certain brand products and sales to Internet pharmacies and certain pain clinics, and lower cold and flu vaccine The flu vaccine is a vaccine to protect against the highly variable influenza virus. The annual flu kills an estimated 36,000 people in the United States. sales, partially offset by our participation in the distribution of new generic product launches. After the disposition of our brand business in March 2005 through a sales and licensing transaction with First Horizon, Andrx products revenues exclude Altoprev(R) and Fortamet(R). Our participation in the performance of these brand products is now included in licensing, royalties and other revenues. Sales of these products were $18.2 million in the 2004 Quarter. Andrx product sales for the 2005 Quarter include generic controlled-release, immediate-release and oral contraceptive oral contraceptive n.

Also called birth control pill. products, and other products, which include our Entex(R) and Anexsia(R) product lines previously reflected in Andrx brand product revenues. Excluding net sales Net Sales The amount a seller receives from the buyer after costs associated with the sale are deducted. Notes: This amount is calculated by subtracting the following items from gross sales: merchandise returned for credit, allowances for damaged or missing goods, freight of Altoprev and Fortamet for the 2004 Quarter, Andrx products revenues decreased to $73.9 million in the 2005 Quarter, compared to $84.4 million in the 2004 Quarter. The decline is primarily due to decreased revenues from our generic versions of Glucophage Glu·co·phage A trademark for the drug metformin. metformin hydrochloride Warning - High-alert drug!

Claritin-D(R) 24 and Tiazac Tiazac® Diltiazem, see there (R), and decreased revenues from our Entex product line, partially offset by an increase in sales of generic Paxil Pax·il A trademark for the drug paroxetine. paroxetine hydrochloride Paxil, Paxil CR, Seroxat (UK) Pharmacologic class: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) (R), supplied by Genpharm. Our generic business did not launch any products during the 2005 Quarter. On a quarterly sequential basis, revenues from Andrx products increased by 3.4% from $71.5 million for the 2005 third quarter, primarily due to increases from our generic version of Paxil and its sales to a new customer. Excluding gross profit from Altoprev and Fortamet, Andrx products generated $9.6 million of gross profit with a gross margin of 12.9% in the 2005 Quarter, compared to $28.0 million of gross profit with a gross margin of 33.1% in the 2004 Quarter. The $18.4 million decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from increased other charges to cost of goods sold, including the $10.0 million impairment charge related to our North Carolina facility and increased charges related to pre-launch inventories, as well as reductions in revenues and a decrease in our profit share from Perrigo's sales of our OTC Claritin Clar·i·tin A trademark for the drug loratadine. loratadine Alavert, Claritin, Claritin RediTabs, Clarityn (UK) Pharmacologic class: Histamine1-receptor antagonist (second-generation) products due to additional competition, partially offset by a $2.1 million reduction in cost of goods sold in the 2005 Quarter as a result of the amount earned upon a supplier's failure to deliver generic Glucotrol XL 2.5mg in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[] As well as a standalone program, it is the base software packaged by Zondervan in their Bible Study suites for Macintosh. with our supply agreement. In the 2005 Quarter, we recorded charges directly to cost of goods sold of $6.1 million related to pre-launch inventories, including $5.6 million related to our generic version of Biaxin XL in connection with the aging of product that may be short-dated by the date we anticipate our product will likely be sold due to the preliminary injunction referred to above. In the 2005 Quarter, licensing, royalties and other revenues increased to $15.6 million, compared to $6.8 million in the 2004 Quarter primarily due to revenues from First Horizon related to our former brand products, which commenced in April 2005. On a quarterly sequential basis, licensing, royalties and other revenues decreased by $6.3 million from $21.9 million for the 2005 third quarter mainly due to the inclusion in the 2005 third quarter of $3.9 million of revenue upon the reversal of sales allowances previously recorded related to our agreements for generic versions of Wellbutrin Well·bu·trin A trademark for the drug bupropion hydrochloride, used to treat depression. bupropion hydrochloride Budeprion SR, Budeprion XL, Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Zyban SR(R) 150mg and Zyban Zy·ban A trademark for the drug bupropion dipropionate, used to treat nicotine dependence. bupropion hydrochloride Budeprion SR, Budeprion XL, Wellbutrin, Wellbutrin SR, Wellbutrin XL, Zyban (R) and decreased revenues from First Horizon. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $32.4 million for the 2005 Quarter, or 13.2% of total revenues, compared to $53.2 million, or 18.3% of total revenues for the 2004 Quarter. Excluding the brand business segment, SG&A expenses were $34.0 million for the 2004 Quarter. On a comparable quarterly sequential basis, SG&A expenses decreased by $11.7 million from $44.7 million for the 2005 third quarter, primarily due to costs of $9.3 million in the 2005 third quarter associated with the separation agreement with our former Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, $7.0 million of which was a non-cash charge Non-Cash Charge A charge off, made by a company against earnings, that does not require an initial outlay of cash. Notes: Non-cash charges are typically against the depreciation, amortization, and depletion accounts on a company's balance sheet. . Research and development expenses (R&D) were $9.4 million in the 2005 Quarter, compared to $8.6 million in the 2004 Quarter. On a quarterly sequential basis, R&D decreased from $10.3 million for the 2005 third quarter. We anticipate that R&D for 2006 will total approximately $50 million, which will include our internal R&D efforts focusing primarily on the development of primarily controlled-release products, supporting our contract services business and external R&D costs in connection with agreements we reach with third parties relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the development of immediate-release products, such as our agreement with InvaGen. For the 2005 Quarter, we recorded a provision for income taxes of 37.4%. We believe that our effective tax rate for 2006 will be approximately 38%, subject to the completion of the IRS' audits of our 1999 through 2002 tax returns. We also anticipate that we will begin to make income tax payments in 2006. As of December 31, 2005, we had $405 million in cash, cash equivalents and total investments available for sale, and $491 million of working capital. Deferred revenues were $99 million, primarily related to cash received from our transactions with Takeda and First Horizon. Capital expenditures were $7.4 million in the 2005 Quarter compared to $15.1 million for the 2004 Quarter, and $8.5 million for the 2005 third quarter. For 2005, capital expenditures were $29.0 million compared to $88.3 million for 2004. Capital expenditures for 2006 are currently estimated to be approximately $47 million.
