ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

        Allergan, Inc. ("Allergan" or the "Company") is a provider of eye care
and specialty pharmaceutical products throughout the world with products in the
eye care pharmaceutical, ophthalmic surgical device, over-the-counter contact
lens care, movement disorder, and dermatological markets. Its worldwide
consolidated revenues are principally generated by prescription and
non-prescription pharmaceutical products in the areas of ophthalmology and skin
care, neurotoxins, intraocular lenses and other ophthalmic surgical products,
and contact lens care products.

        Allergan was originally incorporated in California in 1948, became known
as Allergan Corporation in 1950, and reincorporated in Delaware in 1977. In
1980, the Company was acquired by SmithKline Beecham plc (then known as
"SmithKline Corporation" and herein "SmithKline"). The Company operated as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SmithKline from 1980 until 1989 when Allergan again
became a stand-alone public company through a spin-off distribution by
SmithKline.

        On December 9, 1999 the Company implemented a two-for-one stock split
effected as a dividend to stockholders of record on November 18, 1999. All
historical information contained in this report has been adjusted to reflect the
1999 stock split.

SPECIALTY PHARMACEUTICAL BUSINESS

Eye Care Pharmaceutical Product Line

        Allergan develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of
prescription and non-prescription products designed to treat diseases and
disorders of the eye, including glaucoma, inflammation, infection and allergy.
In addition, the specialty over-the-counter product line consists of products
designed to treat ocular surface disease, including artificial tears and ocular
decongestants.

                                    GLAUCOMA

        The largest segment of the market for ophthalmic prescription drugs is
for the treatment of glaucoma, a sight-threatening disease characterized by
elevated intraocular pressure leading to optic nerve damage. Allergan's largest
selling eye care pharmaceutical product is Alphagan(R) ophthalmic solution,
which was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in
September 1996 for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Sales of Alphagan(R) ophthalmic solution represented 15%, 12% and 9% of total
Company sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The period of new chemical
entity exclusivity in the United States for Alphagan(R) ophthalmic solution
extends for five years from the date of approval. Allergan sells Alphagan(R)
ophthalmic solution in 69 countries worldwide.

        Allergan filed two new drug applications ("NDAs") with the FDA in 2000
for glaucoma products. In the third quarter of 2000, Allergan filed an NDA in
the U.S. and in the fourth quarter of 2000 filed a Marketing Authorization
Application ("MAA") in Europe for Lumigan(TM), a topical treatment for elevated
intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The FDA
approved Lumigan(TM) in March 2001 for the reduction of elevated intraocular
pressure ("IOP") in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who
are intolerant of other IOP lowering medications or insufficiently responsive
(failed to achieve target IOP determined after multiple measurements over time)
to another IOP-lowering medication. The second NDA was for Alphagan(R) P, a
reformulation containing brimonodine, the active ingredient in Alphagan(R)
ophthalmic solution, preserved with Purite(R). The FDA also approved Alphagan(R)
P in March 2001 for the lowering of IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma and
ocular hypertension. Alphagan(R) P ophthalmic solution lowers IOP by reducing
aqueous humor production and increasing uveoscleral outflow, while data suggests
that Lumigan(TM) ophthalmic solution lowers IOP by increasing the outflow of
aqueous humor through trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. The Company
intends to launch both products in 2001.

        The Company also markets Betagan(R) ophthalmic solution, a topical beta
blocker used in the treatment of glaucoma, and Propine(R) ophthalmic solution,
which is used alone or in combination with other drugs when initial drug therapy
for glaucoma becomes inadequate. Patent protection for both products expired in
the United States in 1991 and they both face generic competition from several
companies including Bausch & Lomb and Alcon Laboratories, Inc. (a division of
Nestle). In addition, the Company markets its own generic version of these two
products.

                                  INFLAMMATION

        Allergan's leading ophthalmic anti-inflammatory product is Acular(R)(1)
ophthalmic solution. It is indicated for the relief of itch associated with
seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and for the treatment of postoperative
inflammation in patients who have undergone cataract extraction. Acular(R) PF
was the first unit-dose, preservative-free topical nonsteroidal
anti-

inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the United States, and is indicated for the
reduction of ocular pain and photophobia following incisional refractive
surgery. Pred Forte(R) and FML(R) Liquifilm(R) ophthalmic suspensions are
Allergan's products in the ocular corticosteroid inflammation market.

                                    INFECTION

        Allergan's major products in the anti-infective market are
Ocuflox(R)/Oflox(R)/Exocin(R) ophthalmic solution, a fluroquinolone which treats
bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers, Blephamide(R) ophthalmic
suspension, a topical anti-inflammatory and anti-infective, and Polytrim(R)
ophthalmic solution, a synthetic antimicrobial which treats surface ocular
bacterial infections. Blephamide(R), Pred Forte(R) and Polytrim(R) ophthalmic
solutions no longer have patent protection and face generic competition. McNeil
Consumer Healthcare, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is Allergan's marketing
partner for Ocuflox(R) ophthalmic solution in the U.S. pediatric and selected
general practitioner markets.

                                     ALLERGY

        Allergan launched Alocril(R) ophthalmic solution in early 2000.
Alocril(R) is indicated for the treatment of itch associated with allergic
conjunctivitis. The allergy market, is by its nature, a seasonal market, peaking
during the Spring months.

                             OCULAR SURFACE DISEASE

        In addition to its eye care pharmaceuticals, Allergan markets a variety
of artificial tear products for various needs, under a range of brand names
worldwide, led by the Refresh(R) brand. In the United States, the Refresh(R)
brand includes Refresh Plus(R), Refresh Tears(R), and Refresh P.M.(R) Allergan
also markets Celluvisc(R) in the United States for severe dry eye. Other
Allergan brands marketed around the world include the, Liquifilm Tears(R) and
Lacri-Lube(R) S.O.P.(R) products as well as Lerin(R), a decongestant.

        Allergan has filed an NDA and an MAA for Restasis(TM), a prescription
ophthalmic emulsion product for the treatment of chronic dry eye disease. In
2001, Allergan plans to initiate a six-month confirmatory study to support these
applications.

Skin Care Product Line

        Allergan's skin care business is currently comprised of three main
product lines: tazarotene products in cream and gel formulations marketed under
Tazorac(R) in the United States and Canada and as Zorac(R) elsewhere; Azelex(R),
an acne product; and the M.D. Forte(R) line of alpha hydroxy acid products.
Allergan promotes its skin care products primarily in the United States.

        In June 1997, the Company received approval from the FDA to market
Tazorac(R) gel for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and acne. The FDA approved
the cream formulation of Tazorac(R) in October 2000 for the treatment of
psoriasis. Allergan filed a Supplemental NDA in December 2000 for the acne
indication of Tazorac(R) cream. Allergan promotes Tazorac(R) in the United
States, along with its co-promotion partner, 3M Pharmaceuticals. Outside of the
U.S., Allergan has engaged Pierre Fabre Dermatologie and Bioglan Pharma PLC as
its promotion partners for Zorac(R) in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

        Azelex(R)cream is approved for the topical treatment of mild to moderate
inflammatory acne vulgaris. Allergan launched Azelex(R)cream in the U.S. in
December 1995.


                                       3
   6

        The Company also develops and markets glycolic acid-based skin care
products. In 1999, the Company divested its aesthetician salon and retail-based
alpha hydroxy acid products as part of an initiative to focus on the M.D.
Forte(R) line of alpha hydroxy acid products. M.D. Forte(R) products are
marketed to and dispensed by physicians.

Botox(R)/Neuromuscular

        Allergan's Botox(R) (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex
is used in the treatment of certain neuromuscular disorders which are
characterized by involuntary muscle contractions or spasms. Sales of Botox(R)
Purified Neurotoxin Complex represented 15%, 13% and 10% of total Company sales
in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company markets Botox(R) Purified
Neurotoxin Complex in the United States and in 66 other countries.

        The approved indications for Botox(R) in the United States are for the
treatment of blepharospasm (the uncontrollable contraction of the eyelid muscles
which can force the eye closed and result in functional blindness); strabismus
(misalignment of the eyes) in people 12 years of age and over; and cervical
dystonia in adults (along with the associated pain). Outside of the U.S.,
Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is also approved for hemifacial spasm,
pediatric cerebral palsy and upper limb spasticity associated with debilities
occurring after a stroke.

        The Company is pursuing new approved indications for Botox(R) Purified
Neurotoxin Complex, including brow furrow, pediatric cerebral palsy, headache,
hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), back spasm, spasticity, anal fissure and
temporal mandibular joint disease.

        The Company manufactures bulk toxin raw material necessary to produce
Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex. The process to create bulk toxin is
technically complicated and difficult. Any failure of the Company to maintain an
adequate supply of bulk toxin could result in an interruption in the supply of
Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex with a resulting decrease in sales of the
product.

MEDICAL DEVICES AND OTC PRODUCT LINES

Ophthalmic Surgical Product Line

        Allergan's ophthalmic surgical business develops, manufactures and
markets intraocular lenses ("IOLs"), surgically related pharmaceuticals,
phacoemulsification equipment and other ophthalmic refractive surgical products.

        The largest segment of the surgical market is for the treatment of
cataracts. Cataracts are a condition, usually age related, in which the natural
lens of the eye becomes progressively clouded. This clouding obstructs the
passage of light and can eventually lead to blindness. Most patients affected by
cataracts can be surgically treated by removing the clouded lens and replacing
it with an IOL. The Company currently offers a line of products used in the
performance of cataract surgery, including silicone monofocal and multi-focal
IOLs, an acrylic IOL and PMMA IOLs.

        Sales of all models of the Company's IOLs represented 11% of total
Company sales in each of 2000 and 1999 and 10% of total Company sales in 1998.
Foldable IOLs marketed by Allergan for small incision cataract surgery include
the Array(R) multifocal silicone IOL; its line of monofocal silicone IOLs
(PhacoflexII(R)SI-30NB(R), SI-40NB(R), and PhacoflexII(R)SI-55NB(R)); and the
Sensar(R) acrylic IOL, which was introduced in Europe in 1998 and was approved
for marketing in the United States in February 2000. Along with foldable IOLs,
the Company also markets a series of insertion systems for each of its foldable
lens models,


                                       4
   7

referred to as The UnFolder(R) implantation systems. The systems assist the
surgeon in achieving controlled release of the IOL in incisions as small as 2.8
mm.

        Phacoemulsification is a method of cataract extraction that uses
ultrasound waves to break the natural lens into small fragments that can be
removed through a hollow needle. Allergan currently markets the Prestige(R),
AMO(R)Diplomax(R) and Sovereign(TM) phacoemulsification systems. Allergan also
markets AMO(R)Vitrax(R), a viscoelastic used to maintain the anterior chamber
and protect endothelial cells during cataract surgery. And, in 1998, the Company
became a distributor of BioLon(TM)2 viscoelastic in the United States under an
agreement with Akorn, Inc. The Company has partnered with Allegiance Healthcare
Corporation to provide custom surgical procedure packs to its U.S. and European
customers.

        In 2000, Allergan entered the refractive surgery market with the
Amadeus(R) microkeratome. Surgeons use microkeratomes in LASIK procedures to cut
a flap of corneal tissue that is folded back during the laser procedure and then
folded back to its original position. Allergan is the exclusive worldwide
distributor of the Amadeus(R) microkeratome and SurePass(R) microkeratome
blades, which are manufactured by SIS AG, Surgical Instrument Systems in
Switzerland. Allergan also has a U.S. co-marketing agreement with VISX
Incorporated, which sells excimer laser systems for vision correction.

Contact Lens Care Product Line

        The Company has been active in the contact lens care market since 1960.
On a worldwide basis, it develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of
products for use with every available type of contact lens. These products
include disinfecting solutions to destroy harmful microorganisms in and on the
surface of contact lenses; daily cleaners to remove undesirable film and
deposits from contact lenses; enzymatic cleaners to remove protein deposits from
contact lenses; and lens rewetting drops to provide added wearing comfort.

        In the area of disinfecting products for soft contact lenses, the
Company offers products that can be used in both the hydrogen peroxide and
convenient chemical systems. Allergan's leading hydrogen peroxide system
products are the Oxysept 1Step(R)/UltraCare(R) hydrogen peroxide
neutralizer/disinfection system, with a color indicator which turns the solution
pink to indicate the disinfectant tablet has dissolved. Complete(R) brand
Multi-Purpose solution is the Company's convenient, one-bottle chemical
disinfection system for soft contact lenses. The Company currently markets
Complete(R) brand Multi-Purpose solution worldwide, including Japan as of 1999.
Complete(R) brand ComfortPLUS(TM) Multi-Purpose solution, the Company's latest
product upgrade, contains a proprietary comfort formulation for longer, more
comfortable contact lens wear.

        In November 1995, the Company acquired the worldwide contact lens care
business of Pilkington Barnes Hind. Included in the acquisition was the Consept
F(R) Cleaning and Disinfecting System, the first approved non-heat disinfection
system for soft contact lenses in Japan. This acquisition significantly
increased the Company's contact lens care product business in Japan.

        In 2000 Allergan launched a new eye drop for contact lens wearers called
Refresh Contacts(R) to help provide comfort and protection from dryness and
irritation.

        Also in 2000, Allergan entered into a strategic global alliance with the
Vistakon Division of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., makers of the
Acuvue(R) brand contact lenses. This alliance includes research, educational,
marketing, and co-detailing initiatives.


                                       5
   8

        Sales of the Company's hydrogen peroxide disinfection systems
represented 5%, 7% and 10% of total Company sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Company's Contact Lens Care business continues to be impacted
by trends in the contact lens and lens care marketplace, including technological
and medical advances in surgical techniques for the correction of vision
impairment. Cheaper one-bottle chemical disinfection systems have gained
popularity among soft contact lens wearers instead of peroxide-based lens care
products which have historically been Allergan's strongest family of lens care
products. The Company's primary strategy is to focus its sales and marketing
resources on aggressive growth of Complete(R) brand Multi-Purpose solution which
grew faster than its segment on a worldwide basis in 2000. Also, the growing use
and acceptance of daily contact lenses, along with the other factors above,
could have the effect of reducing demand for lens care products generally. While
the Company believes it has established appropriate marketing and sales plans to
mitigate the impact of these trends upon its Contact Lens Care business, no
assurance can be given in this regard.

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

        At December 31, 2000, the Company employed 6,181 persons throughout the
world, including 2,308 in the United States. None of the Company's U.S.-based
employees are represented by unions. The Company considers that its relations
with its employees are, in general, very good.

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

        Allergan's international sales have represented approximately 48.3%,
51.9% and 53.8% of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively. Allergan established its first foreign subsidiary in 1964
and the Company's products are sold in approximately 120 countries. Marketing
activities are coordinated on a worldwide basis, and resident management teams
provide leadership and infrastructure for customer focused rapid introduction of
new products in the local markets.

SALES AND MARKETING

        Allergan maintains a global marketing team, as well as regional sales
and marketing organizations. Allergan's sales efforts and promotional activities
are primarily aimed at eye care professionals, as well as neurologists and
dermatologists, who use, prescribe and recommend its products. In addition,
Allergan advertises in professional journals and has an extensive direct mail
program of descriptive product literature and scientific information to
specialists in the ophthalmic, dermatological and movement disorder fields. The
Company has also developed training modules and seminars to update physicians
regarding evolving technology. Allergan has also utilized direct-to-consumer
advertising of its contact lens care products, Refresh(R) products and Array(R)
multifocal silicone IOL.

        The Company's products are sold to drug wholesalers, independent and
chain drug stores, pharmacies, commercial optical chains, opticians, mass
merchandisers, food stores, hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and medical
practitioners, including neurologists, dermatologists and plastic surgeons. At
December 31, 2000, the Company employed approximately 1,600 sales
representatives throughout the world. The Company also utilizes distributors for
its products in the smaller international markets.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

        The Company's global research and development efforts focus on eye care,
skin care and neuromuscular products that are safe, effective, convenient and
have an economic benefit. The Company's own research and development activities
are supplemented by a commitment to identifying and obtaining new technologies
through in-licensing, technological collaborations, joint ventures and
acquisition efforts, including the establishment of research relationships with
academic institutions and individual researchers.

        At December 31, 2000, there were, in the aggregate, approximately 1,000
people involved in the Company's research and development efforts. The Company's
research and development expenditures for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $195.6
million, $168.4 million and $125.4 million, respectively, excluding amounts
spent by the Company on behalf of Allergan Specialty Therapeutics, Inc.

        Research and development efforts for the ophthalmic pharmaceuticals
business focus primarily on new therapeutic products for glaucoma, inflammation,
retinal diseases, dry eye, allergy and new anti-infective pharmaceuticals for
eye care. Below is a summary of major research and development projects in the
ophthalmic pharmaceutical segment:

-   In its glaucoma research, the Company is pursuing two approaches. The first
    is to improve upon agents for lowering intraocular pressure, and the second
    is to develop drugs that directly protect the optic nerve.

-   In the retinal disease area, Allergan is continuing programs to treat
    age-related macular degeneration.

-   Allergan continues to pursue ocular allergy, anti-inflammatory and
    anti-infective products.

        Research and development activities for the surgical business
concentrate on improved cataract surgical systems, implantation instruments and
methods, and new IOL materials and designs.

        For the skin care business, Allergan's research and development team is
working on expanded indications and formulations for tazarotene. The team is
also working on an anti-acne approach based on enzyme inhibitors.

        Research and development efforts for neuromuscular disorders focus on
expanding the uses for Botox(R) (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin
Complex to include treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy, spasticity, headache,
lower back pain, anal fissure, brow furrow, hyperhidrosis and temporal
mandibular joint disease. Allergan is also pursuing new toxin based products.

        Research and development in the contact lens care business is aimed at
systems that are effective and more convenient for patients to use, and thus
lead to a higher rate of compliance with recommended lens care procedures.
Improved compliance can enhance safety and extend the time a patient will be a
contact lens wearer.

        Allergan is also working to leverage its technologies in therapeutic
areas outside of its current specialites, such as the use of its
receptor-selective retinoid technology in therapeutic areas such as cancer,
diabetes, dyslipidermia and bone disease and alpha agonists in the treatment of
neuropathic pain.

        In 1997 the Company formed a new subsidiary, Allergan Specialty
Therapeutics, Inc. ("ASTI"), to conduct research and development of potential
pharmaceutical products based on the Company's retinoid and neuroprotective
technologies. In March 1998, the Company distributed all ASTI Class A Common
Stock to the Company's stockholders, who


                                       7
   10

received one share of ASTI Class A Common Stock for each 20 shares of Allergan
common stock held as of the record date.

        As the sole holder of ASTI's outstanding Class B Common Stock following
the distribution and under the terms of ASTI's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company has the option to repurchase all of the outstanding
shares of ASTI Class A Common Stock under specified conditions. Under the terms
of a technology license agreement and a license option agreement between the
Company and ASTI, the Company has also granted certain technology licenses and
agreed to make specified payments on sales of certain products in exchange for
the payment by ASTI of a technology fee and the option to independently develop
certain compounds funded by ASTI prior to the filing of an Investigational New
Drug application with the FDA with respect thereto and to license any products
and technology developed by ASTI. The Company will recognize the technology fee
as revenue as it is earned and received.

        ASTI's technology and product research and development activities take
place under a research and development agreement with the Company. The Company
will recognize revenues and related costs as services are performed under such
contracts. It is currently expected that most of ASTI's funds will be directed
toward continuing the research and development of products based on retinoid and
neuroprotective technologies. In addition, ASTI may fund the research and
development of pharmaceutical products in therapeutic categories of interest to
the Company other than those based on retinoid and neuroprotective technologies,
but that complement the Company's product pipeline or otherwise are believed to
provide a potential commercialization opportunity for the Company.

        The continuing introduction of new products supplied by the Company's
research and development efforts and in-licensing opportunities is critical to
the success of the Company. There are intrinsic uncertainties associated with
the research and development efforts and the regulatory process. There is no
assurance that any of the research projects or pending drug marketing approval
applications will result in new products that the Company can commercialize.
Delays or failures in one or more significant research projects and pending drug
marketing approval applications could have a material adverse impact on the
future operations of the Company.

COMPETITION

        Allergan faces strong competition in all of its markets worldwide.
Numerous companies are engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of
health care products competitive with those manufactured by Allergan. Major eye
care competitors include Alcon Laboratories, Inc. (a subsidiary of Nestle),
Bausch & Lomb and its acquired businesses, Chiron Vision and Storz Ophthalmics,
Novartis Ophthalmics, Merck & Co., Inc. and Pharmacia Ophthalmics. These
competitors have equivalent or, in most cases, greater resources than Allergan.
The Company's skin care business competes against a number of companies,
including among others Dermik, a division of Aventis, Galderma, a joint venture
between Nestle and L'Oreal, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Schering-Plough Corporation,
Johnson & Johnson and Hoffman-La Roche Inc., which all have greater resources
than Allergan. In the market for neurotoxins, the Company has two competitors:
Beaufour Ipsen, which sells in Europe, Latin America, Asia and New Zealand, and
Athena Neurosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Elan Corporation, PLC, in the United
States and Europe. In marketing its products to health care professionals,
pharmacy benefits management companies, health care maintenance organizations,
and various other national and regional health care providers and managed care
entities, the Company competes primarily on the basis of product technology,
value-added services and price. The Company believes that it competes favorably
in its product markets.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

        Drugs, biologics and medical devices, including IOLs and contact lens
care products, are subject to regulation by the FDA, state agencies and, in
varying degrees, by foreign health agencies. Government regulation of most of
the Company's products generally requires extensive testing of new products and
filing applications for approval by the FDA prior to sale in the United States
and by foreign health agencies prior to sale as well. The FDA and foreign health
agencies review these applications and determine whether the product is safe and
effective. The process of developing data to support a premarket application and
governmental review is costly and takes many years to complete.

        In general, manufacturers of drugs, medical devices and biologicals are
operating in a rigorous regulatory environment. The total cost of providing
health care services has been and will continue to be subject to review by
governmental agencies and legislative bodies in the major world markets,
including the United States, which are faced with significant pressure to lower
health care costs.

        Internationally, the regulation of drugs and medical devices is also
complex. In Europe, the Company's products are subject to extensive regulatory
requirements. As in the United States, the marketing of medicinal products has
for many years been subject to the granting of marketing authorizations by
medicine agencies. Particular emphasis is also being placed on more
sophisticated and faster procedures for reporting of adverse events to the
competent authorities. The European Union ("EU") procedures for the
authorization of medicinal products are currently being reviewed by the European
Commission and proposals for improving the efficiency of operation of both the
mutual recognition and centralized procedure are expected later this year.
Additionally, new rules have been introduced or are under discussion in several
areas such as the harmonization of clinical research laws and the law relating
to orphan drugs and orphan indications.

        The EU regulatory regime for medical devices became mandatory in June
1998. It requires that medical devices may only be placed on the market if they
do not compromise safety and health when properly installed, maintained and used
in accordance with their intended purpose. National laws conforming to this EU
legislation regulate the Company's IOLs and contact lens care products under the
medical devices regulatory system rather than the more extensive system for
medicinal products under which they were formerly regulated. The EU medical
device laws require manufacturers to declare that their products conform to the
essential regulatory requirements after which the products may be placed on the
market bearing CE marking. The manufacturers' quality systems for products in
all but the lowest risk classification are also subject to certification and
audit by an independent notified body.

        In Japan, where the Company currently sells surgical products, consumer
eye care products and Botox(R), the regulatory process is equally complex.
Premarketing approval and clinical studies are required, as is governmental
pricing approval for medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The regulatory regime
for pharmaceuticals in Japan has historically been so lengthy and costly that it
has been cost prohibitive for Allergan, primarily because Japan required the
repetition of all relevant clinical studies in Japan. In the future the process
in Japan may become more financially attractive as Japan is in the process of
implementing changes to comply with the International Conference on
Harmonization, an agreement among Japan, the U.S. and the E.U. to facilitate the
registration of drugs utilizing data collected outside of the country. The
timeline for completion of these changes and the rules during this period of
transition are not certain and in this period registration of pharmaceutical
products will remain unpredictable; however, the opportunity to realize value
from Allergan's newly developed products in Japan may increase as the
environment in Japan moves closer to that of the E.U. and U.S.


                                       9
   12

        In the United States, a significant percentage of the patients who
receive the Company's IOLs are covered by the federal Medicare program. When a
cataract extraction with IOL implantation is performed in an ambulatory surgery
center ("ASC"), Medicare provides the ASC with a fixed facility fee which
includes a recommended $150 allowance to cover the cost of the IOL. The
reimbursement rate for Array(R) multifocal IOLs implanted in ASCs until May 2005
is $200 after HCFA awarded "new technology IOL" status to the Array(R)
multifocal IOL in 2000. When the procedure is performed in a hospital outpatient
department, the hospital's reimbursement is determined using a complex formula
that blends the hospital's costs with the $150 allowance paid to ASCs for IOLs
that are not "new technology IOLs." For the Array(R) multifocal IOL, Medicare
reimburses the hospital based on the actual acquisition cost of the IOL by the
hospital.

        Proposals to amend Medicare coverage to include pharmaceuticals are
currently in debate in the United States. Such coverage could impose price
controls on the Company's products. If implemented, price controls could
materially and adversely affect the Company's revenues and financial condition.

        The Company cannot predict the likelihood or pace of any significant
legislative action in these areas, nor can it predict whether or in what form
health care legislation being formulated by various governments will be passed.
Medicare reimbursement rates are subject to change at any time. The Company also
cannot predict with precision what effect such governmental measures would have
if they were ultimately enacted into law. However, in general, the Company
believes that such legislative activity will likely continue, and the adoption
of such measures can be expected to have some impact on the Company's business.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

        Allergan owns, or is licensed under, numerous patents relating to its
products, product uses and manufacturing processes. It has numerous patents
issued in the United States and corresponding foreign patents issued in many of
the major countries in which it does business. Allergan believes that its
patents and licenses are important to its business, but that with the exception
of those relating to Alphagan(R) and Lumigan(TM) ophthalmic solutions, no one
patent or license is currently of material importance in relation to its overall
sales. Allergan markets its products under various trademarks and considers
these trademarks to be valuable because of their contribution to the market
identification of the various products.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign
environmental laws and regulations. The Company believes that its operations
comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and
regulations in each country where the Company has a business presence. Although
Allergan continues to make capital expenditures for environmental protection, it
does not anticipate any significant expenditures in order to comply with such
laws and regulations which would have a material impact on the Company's capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position. The Company is not aware of any
pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or
past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse impact
on the Company's financial position. There can be no assurance, however, that
environmental problems relating to properties owned or operated by the Company
will not develop in the future, and the Company cannot predict whether any such
problems, if they were to develop, could require significant expenditures on the
part of the Company. In addition, the Company is unable to predict what
legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect
to environmental protection and waste disposal.

CERTAIN FACTORS AND TRENDS AFFECTING ALLERGAN AND ITS BUSINESSES

Certain statements made by the Company in this report and in other reports and
statements released by the Company constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such
as comments which express the Company's opinions about trends and factors which
may impact future operating results. Disclosures that use words such as the
Company "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made
in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various
disclosures made by the Company about its businesses including, without
limitation, the factors discussed below.

-   The pharmaceutical industry and other health care-related industries
    continue to experience consolidation, resulting in larger, more diversified
    companies with greater resources than the Company. Among other things, these
    larger companies can spread their research and development costs over much
    broader revenue bases than Allergan and can influence customer and
    distributor buying decisions.

-   Until December 2000, the Company was the only manufacturer of an
    FDA-approved neurotoxin. Another company has now received FDA approval of a
    neurotoxin. The Company's sales of Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex
    could be materially and negatively impacted by this new competition.

-   The manufacturing process to create bulk toxin raw material necessary to
    produce Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is technically complicated. Any
    failure of the Company to maintain an adequate supply of bulk toxin and
    finished product could result in an interruption in the supply of Botox(R)
    Purified Neurotoxin Complex and a resulting decrease in sales of the
    product.

-   The Company's Contact Lens Care business continues to be impacted by trends
    in the contact lens and lens care marketplace, including technological and
    medical advances in surgical techniques for the correction of vision
    impairment. Cheaper one-bottle chemical disinfection systems continue to
    gain popularity among soft contact lens wearers instead of peroxide-based
    lens care products which historically have been Allergan's strongest family
    of lens care products. The Company's primary strategy is to focus its sales
    and marketing resources on aggressive growth of Complete(R)brand
    Multi-


                                       11
   14

    Purpose solution which grew faster than its segment on a worldwide basis in
    2000. Also, the growing use and acceptance of daily contact lenses and
    laser-correction procedures, along with the other factors above, could have
    the effect of reducing demand for lens care products generally. While the
    Company believes it has established appropriate marketing and sales plans to
    mitigate the impact of these trends upon its Contact Lens Care business, no
    assurance can be given in this regard.

-   The Company has in the past been, and continues to be, subject to product
    liability claims. In addition, the Company has in the past and may in the
    future recall or issue field corrections related to its products due to
    manufacturing deficiencies, labeling errors or other safety or regulatory
    reasons. There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience
    material losses due to product liability claims or product recalls or
    corrections.

-   Sales of the Company's surgical and pharmaceutical products have been and
    are expected to continue to be impacted by continuing pricing pressures
    resulting from various government initiatives as well as from the purchasing
    and operational decisions made by managed care organizations.

-   A continuing political issue of debate in the United States is the propriety
    of expanding Medicare coverage to include pharmaceutical products. If
    measures to accomplish that coverage become law, and if these measures
    impose price controls on the Company's products, the Company's revenues and
    financial condition are likely to be materially and adversely affected.

-   The Company collects and pays a substantial portion of its sales and
    expenditures in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore,
    fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect the Company's
    operating results. The Company can provide no assurance that future exchange
    rate movements will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
    sales, gross profit or operating expenses.

-   The Company's business is also subject to other risks generally associated
    with doing business abroad, such as political unrest and changing economic
    conditions with countries where the Company's products are sold or
    manufactured. Management cannot provide assurances that it can successfully
    manage these risks or avoid their effects.

-   Patent protection is generally important in the pharmaceutical industry.
    Therefore, Allergan's future financial success may depend in part on
    obtaining patent protection for technologies incorporated into products. No
    assurance can be given that patents will be issued covering any products, or
    that any existing patents or patents issued in the future will be of
    commercial benefit. In addition, it is impossible to anticipate the breadth
    or degree of protection that any such patents will afford, and there can be
    no assurance that any such patents will not be successfully challenged in
    the future. If the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining or preserving patent
    protection, or if any products rely on unpatented proprietary technology,
    there can be no assurance that others will not commercialize products
    substantially identical to such products. Furthermore, although Allergan has
    a corporate policy not to infringe the valid and enforceable patents of
    others, Allergan cannot provide assurances that its products will not
    infringe patents held by third parties. In such event, licenses from such
    third parties may not be available or may not be available on commercially
    attractive terms. Please see Item 3 on page 13 for information on current
    patent litigation.

-   The Company sells its pharmaceutical products primarily through wholesalers.
    Wholesaler purchases may exceed customer demand, resulting in reduced
    wholesaler purchases in later quarters. The Company can give no assurances
    that wholesaler purchases will not decline as a result of this potential
    excess buying.


                                       12
   15

-   Future performance of the Company will be affected by the introduction of
    new products such as Lumigan(TM) and FDA approval of new indications for
    current products such as Botox(R) Purified Neurotoxin Complex. The Company
    has allocated significant resources to the development and introduction of
    new products and indications. The successful development, regulatory
    approval and market acceptance of the products and indications cannot be
    assured.

-   There are intrinsic uncertainties associated with research & development
    efforts and the regulatory process both of which are discussed in greater
    details in the "Research and Development" and the "Government Regulation"
    sections of this report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by
    reference.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

        Allergan's operations are conducted in owned and leased facilities
located throughout the world. The Company believes its present facilities are
adequate for its current needs. Its headquarters and primary administrative and
research facilities are located in Irvine, California. The Company has three
additional facilities in California, two for raw material support (one leased
and one owned) and one leased administrative facility. The Company owns one
facility in Texas for manufacturing and warehousing, and the Company operates
two facilities in Puerto Rico for manufacturing and warehousing. One of the
Puerto Rico facilities is leased and the other is owned. As previously
announced, the Company intends to close the facility that it owns in 2001.

        Outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, the Company owns and
operates three manufacturing and warehousing facilities located in Brazil,
Ireland and China. Other material facilities include one owned facility for
administration and warehousing in Argentina; leased warehouse facilities in
Mexico and Japan; leased administrative facilities in Australia, Brazil, Canada,
France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom;
and one leased facility in Japan used for administration and research and
development.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various litigation and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business which Allergan considers to be
normal in view of the size and nature of its business.

        On March 1, 2001, after concluding that Pharmacia Corporation planned to
file a patent infringement lawsuit against Allergan regarding the
investigational glaucoma drug, Lumigan(TM), Allergan filed a declaratory relief
lawsuit against Pharmacia (and related entities) in United States District Court
for the District of Delaware. In the lawsuit, Allergan asked the court to issue
a ruling that Lumigan(TM) does not infringe certain patents owned or controlled
by Pharmacia and also that such patents are not valid. On March 21, 2001,
Pharmacia filed an answer to the complaint, denying Allergan's allegations.
Pharmacia and Columbia University also filed a counterclaim against Allergan,
alleging that Allergan infringes the same two patents that Allergan identified
in its complaint. See "Certain Factors and Trends Affecting Allergan and its
Businesses" for further information about the risks and uncertainties associated
with patents.

        Although the ultimate outcome of any pending litigation and claims
cannot be precisely ascertained at this time, Allergan believes that the
liability, if any, resulting from the aggregate amount of uninsured damages for
outstanding lawsuits, investigations and asserted claims will not have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position and results of
operation. However, in view of the unpredictable nature of such matters, no
assurances can be given in this regard.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        The Company did not submit any matter during the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year covered by this report to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
