Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and the Employee Benefit Plans Committee
for the Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Watson Pharmaceutical, Inc., Employees 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2007. 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 audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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) at December 31, 2007 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.
As discussed in Note 2, the Plan adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans”, in fiscal 2006.

Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
401(k) Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 401(k) 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 United States based 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 “Plans Committee”).
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.
Effective April 1, 2005, the Plan trustee and custodian is Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company and its record-keeper is The Vanguard Group, Inc. Effective January 1, 2006, the plan name was changed to Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 401(k) Plan.
The Company acquired Andrx Corporation on November 3, 2006. Andrx employees were eligible to participate in the Plan immediately after the acquisition date. These participants were able to rollover balances from the Andrx Corporation 401(k) Plan into the Plan. The Plan was amended to permit the direct rollover of participants notes related to plan loans under the Andrx Corporation 401(k) Plan.
Vesting
Participant contributions and related earnings are fully vested immediately. Effective January 1, 2006, participants are fully vested in Company matching contributions at a rate per year of 33%, 33% and 34%. 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. Refer to “Note 6. Subsequent Events” for information on changes to Plan vesting effective January 1, 2008.
Contributions
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company made changes that allow participants to contribute up to 50% of his or her eligible pay up to the IRS limit. In addition, the Company has eliminated the requirement that eligible employees must be age 21 before they can begin participating in the Plan. Participants may also make rollover contributions from all other qualified plans.
The Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of total eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. In addition to these matching contributions, the Company may elect to make discretionary profit sharing contributions. The Company did not make any discretionary profit sharing contributions during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. Refer to “Note 6.

Subsequent Events” for information on changes to Plan Company matching contributions effective January 1, 2008.
The Plan failed the actual deferral percentage (“ADP”) test for plan year 2006 but passed the actual contribution percentage (“ACP”) test. The ADP test was corrected by the Company making a qualified non-elective contribution (“QNEC”) to statistically identified non-highly compensated plan participants. The QNEC was funded on April 17, 2007 in the amount of $166,500. Further, from April 30, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the contribution limit for highly compensated employees was capped at 6%.
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 to the participant’s account in the same proportion as the participant’s beginning account balance invested in the fund (as defined in the Plan) in relation to the total fund balance. Loan interest is credited to the investment funds of the participant making the payment. 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 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 consist of various registered investment company mutual funds and a Company stock fund, which are generally described below:

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 a participant’s vested account balance after age 59 1/2. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company also deleted two restrictions on service withdrawals; eliminating the four-withdrawals-per year annual limit and the minimum $500 withdrawal requirement. Lastly, the Company will allow hardship withdrawals for the following additional IRS events: funeral or burial expenses relating to the death of participant’s spouse, child, parent, or other eligible dependents as defined by the IRS and for payments relating to the repair of participant’s principal residence due to certain catastrophic events.
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 be used to reduce Company matching contributions and profit sharing contributions, if any. Approximately $188,000 and $80,000 of forfeited nonvested accounts were used to reduce administrative expenses in 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $55,000 and $62,000, respectively.
Administrative Expenses
To the extent permissible by applicable Department of Labor guidance, all expenses of administering the Plan are paid by the Plan, unless paid by the Company. Professional fees incurred in connection with the Plan’s annual compliance with ERISA and the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Regulations are 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 (“GAAP”). Revenues are recorded as earned, benefits paid to participants are recorded when paid and all other expenses are recorded as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 of additions and deductions to net assets in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

December 31, 2007 and 2006
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks including interest rate risk, market risk and credit risk. 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 investment contacts are carried at contract value, with adjustments from fair value to contact value provided on the statement of net assets available for benefits. All other investments are carried at fair value. If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments. The Company stock fund is valued at its year-end unit closing price (comprised of year-end market price plus uninvested cash position). Shares of registered investment company mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Units held in common collective trusts are valued at the unit value as reported by the investment manager using the audited financial statements of the trusts at year end. Participant loans are valued at the unpaid principal amount of the loan, which approximates fair value.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. AAG INV-1 and Statement of Position 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans” (“FSP AAG and SOP 94-4-1”), investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit–responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. FSP AAG and SOP 94-4-1 requires the statements of net assets available for benefits to present the fair value of the investments, as well as the adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. As required by the FSP, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. We adopted FSP AAG and SOP 94-4-1 during 2006 and also applied this statement retroactively to the statement of net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2005.
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 appreciation in fair value of investments consists of both the realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation and deprecation of those investments.
Payment of Benefits
Payments to participants are recorded when paid.

New Accounting Pronouncement
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair-Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Plan’s statement of net assets available for benefits or statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Investment Contracts
The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust (the “Savings Trust”) is designed to provide preservation of capital and returns that are consistent regardless of stock and bond market volatility. The Savings Trust seeks to earn a high level of income consistent with those objectives. The Savings Trust holds guaranteed investment contracts which typically have a fixed maturity. Each contract contains a provision that the issuer will, if required, repay principal at the stated contract value for the purpose of paying benefit payments (fully benefit-responsive). In accordance with FSP AAG and SOP 94-4-1, the Trust is presented at fair value on the statements of net assets available for benefits. The adjustment from fair value to contract value is based on the contract value as reported

by Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (which represents contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less withdrawals and administrative expenses).
4. Related-Party Transactions
For the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007, the plan assets include investments in funds managed by The Vanguard Group, Inc., and Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company. Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company acts as the Plan’s trustee and custodian and, therefore these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules under ERISA.
The Plan paid $65,000 to Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company in fees and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Broker commission fees for the Watson Stock Fund transactions are paid by those participants who authorized the transactions. Expenses for administering the Watson Stock Fund are paid directly by the Company.
The Plan held Company common stock with fair values of $4,840,000 and $4,694,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, 178,335 and 180,322 shares of common stock of the Company are included in the Company Stock Fund, respectively. The Plan made purchases and sales of the Company Stock Fund during 2007 and 2006.
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.
6. Subsequent Events
Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan included a safe harbor feature. As described in the following paragraphs, the Plan was amended to include expansion of the automatic enrollment feature, a change in the Company matching contribution and an accelerated vesting schedule.
Automatic enrollment at 3% of eligible compensation was expanded for employees hired prior to November 1, 2004 (the automatic enrollment feature effective date) who had not previously contributed to the plan, eligible employees who were employed by Andrx Corporation (“Andrx”) immediately before the merger between Watson and Andrx but who have not previously contributed to the Plan and eligible employees hired on or after January 1, 2008. Deferral rates for these participants will automatically increase by 1% of eligible compensation annually beginning on the first day of the pay period that begins on or immediately after the anniversary of their Plan entry date up to 6%.
