Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Participants and Employee Benefit Plans Committee of the
Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Employees’ 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan

 

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Employees’ 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2003 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Employees’ 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1.                            General Description of the Plan

 

The following description of the Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Employees’ 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan was adopted by Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and certain subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) on January 1, 1988.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of the Company who have met certain eligibility requirements.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and is administered by the Employee Benefit Plans Committee of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

The Plan is intended to be a qualified defined contribution plan, which satisfies the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “IRC”).  Under the IRC, participants are not liable for federal income taxes on employee contributions, Company contributions or Plan earnings thereon until such time as they are partially or completely withdrawn from the Plan.

 

Due to the Company’s acquisition of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. in 2000, a large number of participants in The Retirement Plan of Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Affiliates (the “Schein Plan”) were enrolled in the Plan effective August 26, 2000.  The underlying net assets in the Schein Plan related to these new participants in the amount of approximately $16,499,000 were transferred into the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2002 subsequent to the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on July 11, 2002.

 

From time to time the Company conducts self-audits of the Plan to ensure the contribution under the Plan are made in accordance with its terms.  In March 2004, the Company contributed an additional $765,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and has estimated that an additional contribution of $800,000 will be made to fund prior periods.  The total amount of approximately $1.6 million has been reflected as a component of Company contributions receivable in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits at December 31, 2003 and as a component of Company contributions in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the year then ended.

 

Vesting

 

Participant contributions and related earnings are fully vested immediately.  Participants vest in Company matching contributions at a rate of 33 1/3% each year until fully vested after three years.  Benefits attributable to each participant will become fully vested in all accounts in the event of death, disability, normal retirement at age 65, or the complete or partial termination of the Plan.

 

Contributions

 

Participants may elect to contribute from 1% to 20% of their total eligible compensation to the Plan, subject to a maximum dollar limitation as defined by the IRC.  The Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of total compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.  In addition to Company matching contributions, the Company may elect to make discretionary profit sharing

contributions.  The Company did not make any profit sharing contributions in the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with (a) participant contributions, (b) Company matching contributions, (c) discretionary profit-sharing contributions, if any and (d) an allocation of investment earnings, losses, or expenses thereon.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.  Participants direct the investment of their accounts.  Changes to these investment elections are allowed at any time.

 

Investment Options

 

The investment fund options consist of various guaranteed interest accounts, pooled separate accounts, registered investment company mutual funds and a Company stock fund, which are generally described below.

 

Principal Guaranteed Interest Account

 

The fund invests in private market bonds, commercial mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, and provides participants with a guaranteed interest rate for a specified period of time.

 

Principal Money Market Separate Account

 

The fund primarily invests in high-quality commercial paper.

 

Principal Government Securities Separate Account

 

The fund primarily invests in fixed income securities, the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by U.S. government or related entities.

 

Principal Large-Cap Stock Index Separate Account

 

The fund primarily invests in the common stocks of those companies listed in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index.

 

Principal Mid-Cap Stock Index Separate Account

 

The fund invests in stocks found in the 400 Mid-Cap Stock Index.

 

American Century Ultra Investment Fund

 

The fund typically invests at least 90% of assets in equities selected for their appreciation potential.  The majority of these securities are common stocks issued by companies that meet certain standards for earnings and revenue growth.

 

American Century International Growth Investment Fund

 

The fund invests primarily in common stocks of foreign companies that meet certain fundamental and technical standards and have potential for capital appreciation.

 

American Century Value Investment Fund

 

The fund normally invests at least 65% of assets in U.S. equity securities.  Although it may invest in companies of all sizes, the fund’s overall characteristics are most similar to those in the mid-cap arena.

 

 

5



 

American Century Small-Cap Value Investment Fund

 

The fund normally invests at least 65% of assets in equity securities of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations.  It may invest in foreign securities, convertible securities, corporate and government debt, and non-leveraged stock index futures contracts.

 

Vanguard Asset Allocation Fund

 

The fund allocates assets among common stocks, bonds, and money market instruments.

 

Vanguard Growth & Income Fund

 

The fund invests at least 65% of assets in securities included in the S&P 500 index.

 

T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund

 

The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in mid-cap common stocks with above average growth potential.

 

T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund

 

The fund normally invests at least 65% of total assets in stocks of small companies – those with market capitalizations of approximately $1 billion or less.  This includes mostly U.S. stocks, but can include foreign stocks, futures and options.

 

Company Stock Fund

 

The fund invests in shares of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock (“Company common stock”).

 

Participant Loans

 

Participants may borrow a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance.  Each loan is collateralized by the participant’s vested account balance and bears interest commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the Employee Benefit Plans Committee.  Repayment of principal and interest is provided by uniform payroll deductions over a period of up to five years for all loans unless loan proceeds were used to purchase a primary residence.  The period for repayment of loans used for purchase of a primary residence have a maximum repayment term of 15 years.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Upon termination of service due to separation from the Company (including death, disability, or retirement), a participant will receive the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account in a lump-sum amount or in certain cases, the participant may have the payment transferred to an IRA or another employer qualified plan, or prior to April 2002, the participant may elect to purchase a commercially insured annuity contract for the life of the participant.  To the extent an account is vested in the Company Stock Fund, payment of all or part of that amount may be made in shares of Company common stock.  Withdrawals are also permitted for financial hardship, which is determined pursuant to the provisions of the IRC, or, for participant contributions, after age 59 1/2.

 

Forfeitures

 

Forfeitures may be used to defray the reasonable costs and expenses of administering the Plan.  Any forfeiture in excess of those used to defray costs and expenses shall either be reallocated among participants or used to reduce Company matching contributions and profit sharing

contributions, if any.  In 2003, $90,000 of the forfeited nonvested accounts was used to reduce administrative expenses.  At December 31, 2003, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $1,000.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

All administrative expenses related to the direct management of the Plan’s investments and benefit payments are paid by the Plan.  Professional fees incurred in connection with the Plan’s annual compliance with ERISA and the Securities and Exchange Commission were paid by the Company.

 

Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts and the net assets of the Plan will be allocated among the participants or their beneficiaries, after payment of any expenses properly chargeable to the Plan, in accordance with the provisions of ERISA.

 

2.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on an accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value.  Investments in pooled separate accounts are stated at fair value, based on the net asset value of the composite portfolio.  Net asset value is the fair market value of the securities on the last business day of the Plan year.  Shares of registered investment company mutual funds and common stock are valued at quoted market prices.  Participant loans are valued at the unpaid principal amount of the loan, which approximates fair value.  The guaranteed interest accounts are recorded at fair market value.  The guaranteed interest accounts provide a guaranteed interest rate for various specified periods of time as determined, or allowed, by the Plan.  The rate credited is the rate in effect on the day when each deposit is directed to the account.  The guaranteed interest accounts promise contract value for a benefit event,

 

 

7



 

however, there is a possible market value adjustment when funds are withdrawn prior to their maturity, and thus, are not considered benefit responsive.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

The net depreciation and appreciation in the fair value of investments presented in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits includes both the realized gains or losses and the unrealized depreciation or appreciation on those investments.

 

Payment of Benefits

 

Payments to participants are recorded when paid.

4.                            Related-Party Transactions

 

Certain Plan investments are shares of Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock, pooled separate accounts and guaranteed interest accounts managed by Principal Life Insurance Company, trustee of the Plan.  Therefore, transactions in these shares qualify as party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption exists.  Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services amounted to approximately $360,000, which have been reflected as administrative expenses on the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

5.                            Tax Status

 

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated June 24, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, and the Company believes the Plan continues to be operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Accordingly, the Company believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
