OVERVIEW

Company Profile

        We are a specialty pharmaceutical company with a strategic focus on developing and commercializing products that address unmet medical needs in specialty CNS disorders. We have various research and development, manufacturing and commercial operations located in Barbados, Canada, the U.S., Ireland and Puerto Rico.

Proposed Merger with Valeant

        On June 20, 2010, our Board of Directors and the Valeant Board of Directors unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") under which the companies would merge to create a combined company. We are both the legal and accounting acquirer in the merger. The merger is subject to approval by our shareholders and Valeant stockholders, consummation of the financing contemplated by the commitment letter described below or alternative financing, and the satisfaction or waiver (if permissible under applicable law) of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. On the date of the closing of the merger, we will change our name to "Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc." (the "combined company").

        The results of operations of Valeant will not be included in our consolidated financial statements until the completion of the merger. In addition, our Consolidated Financial Statements and this MD&A do not reflect the effect of any potential changes to our existing operations or strategies contemplated by the merger.

        Under the terms of the merger agreement, each Valeant stockholder of record, as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective time of the merger, will receive a special dividend of $16.77 per share of Valeant common stock on such date. In the merger, Valeant stockholders will receive 1.7809 of our common shares in exchange for each share of Valeant common stock they own immediately prior to the merger, other than those shares in respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised under Delaware laws and not withdrawn. The value of the merger consideration that Valeant stockholders will receive will depend on the price per share of our common shares at the time the merger is completed. Upon the completion of the merger, which is expected to occur before the end of 2010, our shareholders will own approximately 50.5% and Valeant stockholders will own approximately 49.5% of the shares of the combined company each on a fully diluted basis.

        On July 21, 2010, we filed a draft Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC to register 198,153,267 common shares, which represents the estimated maximum number of common shares to be issued in connection with the merger.

        In connection with the transaction, we and Valeant have entered into a commitment letter with certain financial institutions pursuant to which such institutions have committed to provide (i) $500.0 million through a senior secured term loan A facility, (ii) up to $2,272.0 million through a senior secured term loan B facility, and (iii) $250.0 million through a senior secured revolving credit facility. A portion of the existing debt of Valeant will be repaid as part of the transaction and our existing $410.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility will be terminated and any indebtedness thereunder repaid.

        Contingent upon the closing of the merger and subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the combined company and to compliance with applicable law, it is anticipated that, on December 31, 2010, or such other date as the Board of Directors of the combined company may determine, the combined company will pay a post-merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share to shareholders of the combined company, after which the combined company does not intend to pay dividends. It is anticipated that $300.0 million of the term loan B facility will be utilized to partially fund this post-merger special dividend.

37


        Prior to the completion of the transaction, we are restricted under the terms of the merger agreement from making acquisitions or entering into in-licensing arrangements that exceed $50.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, and from repurchasing any of our common shares, without Valeant's consent. In addition, without Valeant's consent, we may not incur indebtedness in the ordinary course of business greater than $25.0 million in the aggregate, or any indebtedness outside the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Valeant has made reciprocal commitments to us.

        Upon termination of the merger agreement under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay Valeant a termination fee of $100.0 million and, in other similar circumstances, Valeant may be obligated to pay us a termination fee of $100.0 million.

        The merger is subject to approval by our shareholders and Valeant stockholders, consummation of the financing contemplated by the commitment letter described above or alternative financing, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including anti-trust and competition law approvals in the U.S. and certain other foreign jurisdictions. On July 22, 2010, the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, with respect to the proposed merger contemplated by the merger agreement.

        We expect the combined company to achieve annual operational cost savings of at least $175 million by the second year of operations, and to incur acquisition-related restructuring charges and integration costs in the range of approximately $130 million to $150 million in connection with the merger on a pre-tax basis, which will be expensed as incurred.

        For additional information regarding the potential risks and uncertainties associated with the proposed merger with Valeant, please see Item 1A "Risk Factors" of the Form 10-Q.

        In the second quarter of 2010, we incurred $7.6 million of acquisition-related costs, including banking, legal, accounting and other transaction costs, directly related to the merger.

U.S. Healthcare Reform

        In March 2010, healthcare reform legislation was enacted in the U.S. This legislation contains several provisions that may impact our business.

        Although many provisions of the new legislation do not take effect immediately, several provisions became effective in the first half of 2010. These provisions include: (i) an increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate to states participating in the Medicaid program from 15.1% to 23.1% on branded prescription drugs; (ii) the extension of the Medicaid rebate to Managed Care Organizations that dispense drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries; and (iii) the expansion of the 340(B) Public Health Services drug pricing program, which provides outpatient drugs at reduced rates, to include additional hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centres.

        Beginning in 2011, the new legislation requires that drug manufacturers provide a 50% discount to Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap (i.e., the "donut hole"). Also, beginning in 2011, a new fee will be assessed on prescription drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). This fee will be calculated based upon each entity's relative share of total applicable branded prescription drug sales to specified U.S. government programs for the preceding calendar year. The aggregate industry wide fee is expected to total $28 billion through 2019, ranging from $2.5 billion to $4.1 billion annually.

        Presently, uncertainty exists as many of the specific determinations necessary to implement this new legislation have yet to be decided and communicated to industry participants. For example, we do not yet know when discounts will be provided to the additional hospitals eligible to participate under the 340(B) program. In addition, determinations as to how the Medicare Part D coverage gap will operate and how the annual fee on branded prescription drugs will be calculated and allocated remain to be clarified, though, as noted above, these programs will not be effective until 2011. We have made several estimates with regard to important assumptions relevant to determining the financial impact of this legislation on our business due to the lack of availability of both certain information and complete understanding of how the process of applying the legislation will be

38



implemented. Based on these estimates and assumptions, this new legislation did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations in the second quarter or first half of 2010.

        For additional information regarding the potential risks and uncertainties associated with the implementation of the U.S. healthcare reform legislation, please see Item 1A "Risk Factors" of the Form 10-Q.

Business Development

Istradefylline

        On June 2, 2010, we entered into a license agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd. ("Kyowa Hakko Kirin") to acquire the U.S. and Canadian rights to develop and commercialize products containing istradefylline — a new chemical entity targeted for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Istradefylline is directly aligned with our specialty CNS strategy. In April 2007, Kyowa Hakko Kirin filed a New Drug Application ("NDA") for istradefylline, which received a not approvable letter from the FDA in February 2008. We intend to seek a meeting with the FDA to discuss the regulatory approval process for istradefylline, including re-submission of the NDA.

        Under the terms of the license agreement, we paid an upfront fee of $10.0 million, and could pay up to $20.0 million in potential development milestones through FDA approval and up to an additional $35.0 million if certain sales-based milestones are met. We will also make tiered royalty payments of up to 30% on net commercial sales of products containing istradefylline. In connection with this acquisition, we have also entered into an agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin for the supply of the istradefylline compound.

        This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") intangible assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $10.0 million upfront payment, together with $0.2 million of acquisition costs, was charged to research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2010.

AMPAKINE®

        On March 25, 2010, we acquired certain AMPAKINE® compounds, including associated intellectual property, from Cortex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cortex") for use in the field of respiratory depression, a brain-mediated breathing disorder. The acquired compounds include the Phase 2 compound CX717 in an oral formulation, the pre-clinical compounds CX1763 and CX1942, and the injectable dosage form of CX1739. These AMPAKINE® compounds are directly aligned with our specialty CNS strategy and have the potential to address a significant unmet medical need. In addition, the potential commercialization of the AMPAKINE® compounds aligns with the specialty sales force we intend to deploy in the U.S. for Staccato® loxapine (as described below under "— Staccato® Loxapine").

        Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we paid an upfront fee of $9.0 million and expect to pay an additional $1.0 million upon the completion of a six-month transition period. In addition, we could pay up to $15.0 million in potential milestones contingent on the successful demonstration of the utility of an intravenous formulation of CX717 in treating respiratory depression (BVF-007), the successful completion of a Phase 3 clinical program using an AMPAKINE® compound, and approval from the FDA of an AMPAKINE® compound. We may also owe certain development milestones and/or royalties on net sales to third parties of an AMPAKINE® compound.

        This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D intangible assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $9.0 million upfront payment and the $1.0 million accrued transition payment, together with $0.7 million of acquisition costs, were charged to research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2010.

Staccato® Loxapine

        On February 9, 2010, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Alexza") to acquire the U.S. and Canadian development and commercialization rights to AZ-004 for the treatment of psychiatric and/or neurological indications and the symptoms associated with these indications, including the initial indication of treating agitation in schizophrenia and bipolar patients.

39


AZ-004 combines Alexza's proprietary Staccato® drug-delivery system with the antipsychotic drug loxapine. Staccato® loxapine for the treatment of agitation in schizophrenia and bipolar patients is directly aligned with our specialty CNS strategy.

        In December 2009, Alexza submitted an NDA to the FDA for Staccato® loxapine. The FDA has accepted the NDA for filing and has indicated a Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") goal date of October 11, 2010.

        Pursuant to the terms of the collaboration and license agreement, we paid an upfront fee of $40.0 million, and could pay up to $90.0 million in potential milestones in connection with the initial indication, contingent on the successful approval of the first AZ-004 NDA, successful commercial manufacturing scale-up, and the first commercial sale on an inpatient and on an outpatient basis, which may require the successful completion of additional clinical trials, regulatory submissions, and/or approval of a supplemental NDA. We will also make tiered royalty payments of 10% to 25% on net commercial sales of Staccato® loxapine. Alexza will supply the product to us for commercialization and will receive a per-unit transfer price, based on annual product volume.

        We intend to deploy a specialty sales force to commercialize Staccato® loxapine in the U.S. We estimate the costs associated with establishing this sales force will amount to approximately $10 million in the second half of 2010, and between $40 million and $70 million in 2011, depending on the breadth of the Staccato® loxapine label approved by the FDA.

        This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of IPR&D intangible assets with no alternative future use. Accordingly, the $40.0 million upfront payment, together with $0.3 million of acquisition costs, was charged to research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2010.

        In the second quarter of 2010, we cancelled the Phase 3 clinical trials that were underway in Europe for BVF-324 (the use of non-commercially available doses of tramadol for the treatment of premature ejaculation), due to slower-than-anticipated enrolment in these studies and a lack of commercial interest in the product. In

40



the second quarter of 2010, we accrued $2.8 million for the estimated contractual obligations related to the termination of these studies.

Restructuring

        In May 2008, we initiated restructuring measures that were intended to rationalize our manufacturing operations, pharmaceutical sciences operations, and general and administrative expenses.

Manufacturing Operations

        On January 15, 2010, we completed the sale of our Dorado, Puerto Rico manufacturing facility for net cash proceeds of $8.5 million. We occupied the Dorado facility until March 31, 2010, pursuant to a short-term lease with the buyer, during which time remaining manufacturing and packaging processes were transferred to our Steinbach, Manitoba manufacturing facility. We expect to continue to operate our manufacturing facility located in Carolina, Puerto Rico until the fourth quarter of 2010 — in order to meet higher than anticipated demand for our generic Tiazac® and generic Cardizem® CD products, which is attributable to manufacturing issues involving competitors' products — after which time all manufacturing operations are expected to be consolidated at the Steinbach facility. We are continuing to actively market the Carolina facility.

        We expect to incur employee termination costs of approximately $9.8 million in total for severance and related benefits payable to the approximately 240 employees who have been, or will be, terminated as a result of the closure of the Puerto Rico facilities. As these employees are required to provide service during the shutdown period in order to be eligible for termination benefits, we are recognizing the cost of those termination benefits ratably over the estimated future service period. On a cumulative basis to June 30, 2010, we have recognized $9.3 million of these costs, of which $5.6 million have been paid.

Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations

        On April 30, 2010, we had entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell our contract research division ("CRD") to Lambda Therapeutic Research Inc. ("Lambda"). We no longer considered CRD a strategic fit as a result of our transition from reformulation programs to the in-licensing, acquisition and development of specialty CNS products. CRD has not been treated as a discontinued operation for accounting purposes, on the basis that its operations were immaterial and incidental to our core specialty pharmaceutical business.

        The assets and liabilities of CRD reported as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2010, comprised net current assets and liabilities of $1.3 million and property, plant and equipment of $4.8 million.

        For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, CRD reported the following revenue and expenses, which, as described above, have not been segregated from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of income:

        In the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, we recognized employee termination costs of $1.9 million for the approximately 70 CRD employees not expected to be offered employment by Lambda. On July 23, 2010, we completed the sale of CRD to Lambda for net cash proceeds of approximately $6.0 million.

        Prior to December 31, 2009, we completed the closure of our research and development facilities in Dublin, Ireland and Mississauga, Ontario, and the consolidation of our research and development operations in Chantilly, Virginia.

Results of Efficiency Initiatives

        Our ongoing and planned efficiency initiatives have resulted in cumulative charges to earnings of $102.3 million recorded through June 30, 2010. These charges are expected to be up to $120 million, of which the cash component is expected to be up to $40 million, including $25.4 million incurred through June 30, 2010. We expect that these initiatives, once fully implemented, may result in annual savings of $40 million to $60 million.

        With the sale of CRD, we have now realized our target of $70 million in total gross proceeds from the divestiture and monetization of non-core assets.

General Economic Conditions

        Beginning in late 2008 and continuing through the second quarter of 2010, foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar have been experiencing significant volatility. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates increased total revenue by approximately $3.8 million, or 1.6%, and $8.4 million, or 1.8%, in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2009, due to a strengthening year-over-year of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar on an average basis. A stronger Canadian dollar, while having a favourable impact on revenue, has a negative impact on our operating expenses. Where possible, we manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes through operational means, mainly by matching our cash flow exposures in foreign currencies. As a result, the positive impact of a stronger Canadian dollar on revenue generated in Canadian dollars, but reported in U.S. dollars, is largely counteracted by an opposing effect on operating expenses incurred in Canadian dollars. As our Canadian dollar-denominated expenses moderately exceeded our Canadian dollar-denominated revenues, the appreciation of the Canadian dollar in the second quarter and first half of 2010 had the overall effect of marginally decreasing our net income as reported in U.S. dollars.

Financial Performance

Changes in Revenue

        Total revenue increased $45.2 million, or 23%, to $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $193.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $91.6 million, or 25%, to $458.4 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $366.9 million in the first half of 2009, primarily due to:

        Those factors were partially offset by:

Changes in Net Income

        Net income increased $9.9 million, or 41%, to $34.0 million (basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.21) in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $24.1 million (basic and diluted EPS of $0.15) in the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to:

46


        Those factors were partially offset by:

        Net income declined $32.3 million, or 51%, to $30.8 million (basic and diluted EPS of $0.19) in the first half of 2010, compared with $63.1 million (basic and diluted EPS of $0.40) in the first half of 2009, primarily due to:

        Those factors were partially offset by:

Specific Items Impacting Net Income

        When assessing our financial performance, management utilizes an internal measure that excludes specific items from net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes the identification of these items enhances an analysis of our financial performance when comparing our operating results between periods. These items consist of: acquisition-related costs (including IPR&D charges and transaction costs); restructuring costs; legal settlements; gains and losses on asset dispositions; investment gains and losses; and certain other unusual items that are evaluated on an individual basis based on their nature or size. The following are examples of how net income excluding specific items is utilized:

        We believe that investors' understanding of our financial performance is enhanced by disclosing the specific items identified by management. However, any measure of net income excluding any or all of these items is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for net income prepared under U.S. GAAP. These items are presented solely to allow investors to more fully understand how management assesses our financial performance.

        The following table displays the specific items identified by management that impacted net income in the second quarters and first halves of 2010 and 2009, and the impact of these items (individually and in the aggregate) on diluted EPS. EPS figures may not add due to rounding.

Cash Dividends

        On May 5, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a modification of our dividend policy, which now contemplates the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.095 per share, a 5.5% increase compared with $0.09 per share payable under the former policy in place since May 2009. Prior to May 2009, our dividend policy had contemplated the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.375 per share.

        Cash dividends declared per share were $0.095 and $0.185 in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with $0.09 and $0.465 in the corresponding periods of 2009. On August 4, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.095 per share, payable on October 4, 2010.

        The declaration of future dividends is always subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors, and is generally based on our business performance, operational results, future capital requirements, business development requirements and other requirements and applicable laws. In addition, as described above under "Overview — Proposed Merger with Valeant", it is anticipated that, contingent upon the closing of the proposed merger with Valeant, the combined company will pay a post-merger special dividend of $1.00 per share, after which the combined company does not intend to pay dividends.

Changes in Financial Condition

        At June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $176.6 million (compared with $114.5 million at December 31, 2009) and we had no borrowings outstanding under our $410.0 million credit facility. In June 2010, we made a payment of $12.5 million on account of the obligation to Cambridge Laboratories (Ireland) Limited ("Cambridge") in connection with the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009. At June 30, 2010, we had long-term obligations of $302.9 million in respect of the Convertible Notes and $16.3 million

48



remaining due on the Cambridge obligation, and we had dividends payable of $15.1 million in respect of our first quarter 2010 results, which dividend was paid on July 5, 2010.

        In the first half of 2010, operating cash flows of $153.7 million were a significant source of liquidity. We paid total cash dividends of $28.5 million and we utilized a portion of our available cash resources to fund the following acquisition activities (exclusive of acquisition costs) in the first half of 2010:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        We operate our business on the basis of a single reportable segment — pharmaceutical products. This basis reflects how management reviews the business, makes investing and resource allocation decisions, and assesses operating performance.

Wholesaler Inventory Levels

        Three drug wholesale customers account for the majority of our Zovirax®, off-patent branded pharmaceutical ("Legacy"), and, since May 14, 2009, Wellbutrin XL® product sales in the U.S. Our distribution agreements with these wholesalers limit the amount of inventory they can own to between 1/2 and 11/2 months of supply of our products. As indicated in the following table, at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, these wholesalers owned overall 0.8 months and 1.0 months of supply of our products, respectively, of which only $0.3 million and $0.2 million of inventory had less than 12 months remaining shelf life as of those respective dates.

Wellbutrin XL®

        Wellbutrin XL® product sales increased $16.8 million, or 45%, to $54.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $37.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $46.5 million, or 81%, to $103.8 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $57.3 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting incremental revenue of approximately $15.0 million and $50.4 million earned in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of the full U.S. commercialization rights in May 2009 and the

positive effect of subsequent price increases. Those factors were partially offset by declines in prescription volumes due to generic competition.

Aplenzin®

        Aplenzin® product sales increased $0.4 million, or 26%, to $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $0.6 million, or 12%, to $6.1 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $5.5 million in the first half of 2009. Sanofi-aventis launched the 348mg and 522mg dosage strengths of Aplenzin® in the U.S. in April 2009 and the 174mg dosage strength in July 2009. In April 2010, sanofi-aventis advised us that it had engaged an independent contract sales organization to promote Aplenzin®.

Xenazine®

        Xenazine® product sales increased $9.2 million, or 83%, to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $11.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $18.6 million, or 105%, to $36.3 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $17.7 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting year-over-year increases in patient enrollment in the U.S., as well as the inclusion of sales of the product in other countries in Europe and around the world, following the acquisition of the worldwide development and commercialization rights to tetrabenazine in June 2009.

Zovirax®

        Zovirax® product sales increased $5.1 million, or 14%, to $41.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $36.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $11.2 million, or 16%, to $80.4 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $69.2 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting price increases implemented for these products over the last 12 months, which more than offset lower prescription volumes.

        Sales of BPC products increased $9.7 million, or 53%, to $27.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $17.7 million, or 53%, to $51.2 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $33.5 million in the first half of 2009. Excluding the positive effect on BPC Canadian dollar-denominated revenue of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, BPC product sales increased 30% and 29% in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2009. The increases in BPC revenue reflected increased prescription volumes for our promoted Wellbutrin® XL, Tiazac® XC and Ralivia® products, as well as increased demand for our genericized Tiazac® product, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues. In addition, sales of Glumetza® in the second quarter and first half of 2010 benefited from a delay in the introduction of a competing generic version of the 500mg dosage strength.

Ultram® ER

        Ultram® ER product sales declined $9.7 million, or 59%, to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, and declined $22.4 million, or 60%, to $14.8 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $37.2 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting the impact on volumes of the introduction of generic competition to the 100mg and 200mg dosage strengths in November 2009 (which also had some negative impact on sales of the 300mg product). In addition, upon generic entry, our contractual supply price to PriCara for branded 100mg and 200mg product (which is determined based on a percentage of PriCara's net selling price) was reduced by 50%. As there is currently no generic equivalent to the 300mg product, our supply price to PriCara for that dosage strength remains unchanged. All of those factors were partially offset by revenue generated through our supply of 100mg and 200mg authorized generic versions of Ultram® ER to Patriot.

51


Cardizem® LA

        Revenue from sales of Cardizem® LA declined $3.5 million, or 39%, to $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, and declined $4.0 million, or 24%, to $13.0 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $17.1 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting lower volumes as a result of the introduction of a generic version of Cardizem® LA (in all dosage strengths except 120mg) by a competitor in March 2010. We are entitled to a royalty based on net sales of the competitor's generic version.

        Cardizem® LA product sales include the amortization of deferred revenue associated with the cash consideration received from the sale to Kos of the distribution rights to Cardizem® LA in May 2005, which is being amortized over seven years on a straight-line basis. This amortization amounted to $3.8 million and $7.5 million in each of the second quarters and first halves, respectively, of 2010 and 2009.

Legacy

        Sales of our Legacy products increased $5.9 million, or 15%, to $46.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $40.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $7.9 million, or 10%, to $89.0 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $81.1 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting higher sales of generic Tiazac®, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues. In addition, declining prescription volumes for our other Legacy brands were largely offset by price increases implemented over the last 12 months.

        In March 2010, we reached a settlement with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., India ("Sun"), with respect to patent litigation related to Sun's Abbreviated New Drug Application for a generic version of Cardizem® CD . Under the terms of the settlement and license agreements, which were submitted to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to Section 1112(a) of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, we have granted Sun, and its subsidiary Sun Pharma Global FZE, a non-exclusive license (without right to sublicense) to distribute various dosage strengths of Sun's generic formulation of Cardizem® CD in the U.S., upon receipt of regulatory approval from the FDA, and subject to certain limitations on the sales quantities of the 360mg dosage strength. Nevertheless, the introduction of Sun's 360mg generic version (following FDA approval) could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and earnings. Sun will pay us a royalty based on net sales of the various dosage strengths of its generic formulation. The license term ends on August 8, 2012 — the date the last Cardizem® CD patent expires. No amount was paid to Sun under the terms of this settlement.

Generic

        Sales of our bioequivalent ("Generic") products increased $8.9 million, or 52%, to $26.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $13.1 million, or 39%, to $47.2 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $34.0 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting higher sales of generic Cardizem® CD, which was attributable to competitors' manufacturing issues, which more than offset lower overall prescription volumes and pricing for other Generic products.

Research and Development Revenue

        Research and development revenue declined $0.5 million, or 17%, to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, and declined $1.3 million, or 19%, to $5.6 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $7.0 million in the first half of 2009, as a result of a lower level of clinical research and laboratory testing services provided to external customers by CRD, partially offset by the positive impact of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. Following the sale of CRD (as described above under "Overview — Restructuring — Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations"), revenue generated from other research and development activities is expected to be inconsequential to our total revenues.

52


Royalty and Other Revenue

        Royalties from third parties on sales of products we developed or acquired and other revenue increased $2.2 million, or 88%, to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $2.7 million, or 40%, to $9.5 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $6.8 million in the first half of 2009, due mainly to royalties earned on sales of generic Tiazac® by Forest and generic Cardizem® CD by other third parties.

Cost of Goods Sold

        Cost of goods sold, which excludes the amortization of intangible assets described separately below under "— Amortization of Intangible Assets", increased $13.8 million, or 28%, to $63.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $50.1 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $27.9 million, or 29%, to $122.8 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $94.9 million in the first half of 2009. The percentage increases in cost of goods sold were higher than the corresponding 23% and 26% increases in total product sales in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, primarily due to:

        As described above under "Overview — Business Development", we recorded total IPR&D charges of $10.2 million and $61.2 million in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, related to the istradefylline acquisition in the second quarter of 2010, and the AMPAKINE® and Staccato® loxapine acquisitions in the first quarter of 2010. In each of the second quarter and first half of 2009, we recorded an IPR&D charge of $30.4 million related to the pimavanserin acquisition.

        Internal research and development expenses increased $12.9 million, or 121%, to $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $14.4 million, or 66%, to $36.2 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $21.8 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting higher direct project spending on our specialty CNS drug-development programs, partially offset by lower labour and overhead costs as a result of the closure of our Mississauga, Ontario research and development facility and consolidation of our research and development operations in Chantilly, Virginia. In addition, as described above under "Overview — Research and Development", in the second quarter of 2010, we cancelled the BVF-324 program and accrued $2.8 million for the expected costs associated with the termination of the Phase 3 clinical trials that were underway. Exclusive of these costs, direct spending on the BVF-324 program amounted to $3.3 million and $4.8 million in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively. As a result of the cancellation of this program, direct project spending in the second half of 2010 will be lower than we originally anticipated.

        Costs associated with providing contract research services to external customers declined $0.2 million, or 5%, to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2009, and declined $0.3 million, or 4%, to $6.7 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $7.0 million in the first half of 2009, reflecting the decline in activity levels at CRD and lower labour costs as a result of headcount

54



reductions in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by the negative impact on labour and overhead costs as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. These costs will be eliminated following the sale of CRD (as described above under "Overview — Restructuring — Pharmaceutical Sciences Operations").

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.4 million, or 9%, to $45.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $49.5 million in the second quarter of 2009, and decreased $4.1 million, or 4%, to $88.6 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $92.7 million in the first half of 2009, primarily due to:

        That factor was partially offset by:

Amortization of Intangible Assets

        Amortization expense increased $11.5 million, or 53%, to $33.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2009, and increased $29.3 million, or 79%, to $66.6 million in the first half of 2010, compared with $37.3 million in the first half of 2009, due to the inclusion of amortization of the Wellbutrin XL® trademark intangible asset acquired in May 2009, and the product rights intangible assets arising from the tetrabenazine acquisition in June 2009.

Restructuring Costs

        As described above under "Overview — Restructuring", we recorded restructuring charges of $2.9 million and $3.5 million in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with $11.4 million and $12.7 million in the corresponding periods of 2009.

Acquisition-Related Costs

        As described above under "Overview — Proposed Merger with Valeant", in the second quarter of 2010, we incurred $7.6 million of transaction costs related to the proposed merger. In the second quarter of 2009, we incurred transaction costs of $5.6 million in connection with the tetrabenazine acquisition.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense included the non-cash amortization of debt discounts on the Convertible Notes and the Cambridge obligation and the non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs on the Convertible Notes and our credit facility of $4.2 million and $8.3 million, in the aggregate, in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $1.1 million, in the aggregate, in the corresponding periods of 2009.

Impairment Loss on Debt Securities

        We recorded losses related to other-than-temporary declines in the estimated fair value of a portion of our investment in auction rate securities of $0.4 million and $0.5 million in the second quarter and first half of 2010, respectively, compared with $1.6 million and $4.3 million in the corresponding periods of 2009, reflecting the portion of these securities that we concluded has an other-than-temporary decline in estimated fair value due to a shortfall in their underlying collateral value.

Gain on Auction Rate Security Settlement

        In May 2009, we received $22.0 million to settle an arbitration with the investment bank that invested our assets in auction rate securities.

        In the second quarter of 2010, our effective tax rate was primarily affected by the non-deductible portion of the IPR&D charge associated with the istradefylline acquisition and, in the first half of 2010, our effective tax rate was primarily affected by the non-deductible portion of the IPR&D charges associated with the istradefylline, AMPAKINE® and Staccato® loxapine acquisitions. Similarly, in the second quarter and first half

56



of 2009, our effective tax rate was impacted by the non-deductible portion of the IPR&D charge associated with the pimavanserin acquisition. These charges were recognized in a jurisdiction with lower statutory tax rates than those that apply in Canada.

        Total revenue increased $19.1 million, or 9%, to $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with $219.6 million in the first quarter of 2010, mainly due to higher Xenazine®, Tiazac® in Canada, and generic Cardizem® CD product sales.

        Net income increased $37.1 million to $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, compared with a net loss of $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, primarily due to:

        We believe that cash expected to be generated by operations, as well as funds available under our $410.0 million credit facility, and its $140.0 million accordion feature, will be sufficient to meet our operational and capital expenditure requirements, support our dividend policy and share repurchase program, cover the costs associated with our operating efficiency initiatives, and meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months, based on our current expectations. We anticipate total capital expenditures of approximately $10 million in 2010, principally to maintain existing facilities and capacity.

        We cannot, however, predict the amount or timing of our need for additional funds under various circumstances, such as: significant business development transactions; new product development projects or clinical studies; changes to our capital structure; or other factors that may require us to raise additional funds through borrowings, or the issuance of debt, equity or equity-linked securities. In addition, certain contingent events, such as the resolution of certain legal proceedings (as described in note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), if realized, could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources. The continuing uncertainty in the credit and capital markets may limit our access to additional funding or affect the pricing thereof.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        Our cash and cash equivalents are principally held in cash operating accounts, or are invested in securities such as treasury bills, certain money market funds, term deposits, or commercial paper with the highest investment-grade credit rating obtainable.

Auction Rate Securities

        Our marketable securities portfolio currently includes $26.8 million of principal invested in nine individual auction rate securities. In May 2009, we entered into a settlement with an investment bank in respect of our investment in these securities. Under the terms of this settlement, we received a payment of $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2009, and retained ownership of the securities. The estimated fair value of these securities at each of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $6.0 million. We do not consider the remaining fair value of these securities to be material to our liquidity.

Debt Capacity

        We currently have $350.0 million principal amount of Convertible Notes issued and outstanding. We have no outstanding borrowings under our $410.0 million credit facility. The credit facility, plus its $140.0 million accordion feature, may be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2010, we were in compliance with all covenants associated with this facility.

Share Repurchase Program

        On August 5, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the purchase of up to 15.8 million of our common shares on the open market under a share repurchase program, or normal course issuer bid, subject to a maximum of $75.0 million of common shares being repurchased during any fiscal year pursuant to a covenant in our credit facility (unless such condition is waived or varied by our lenders). The share repurchase program will terminate on August 11, 2010. We have not repurchased any of our common shares under this program and, as described above under "Overview — Proposed Merger with Valeant", under the terms of the merger agreement, we are not permitted to repurchase any of our common shares without the prior consent of Valeant.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

        We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity, or capital resources.

        We acquire and collaborate on products still in development and enter into research and development arrangements with third parties that often require milestone and royalty payments to the third party contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the products in development. As described

63



above under "Overview — Business Development", we may be required to make milestone payments of up to $160.0 million in the aggregate in connection with the istradefylline, AMPAKINE® and Staccato® loxapine acquisitions. These payments are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones. In addition, we may have to make royalty payments based on a percentage of future net sales of istradefylline, AMPAKINE® and Staccato® loxapine products in the event regulatory approval is obtained.

        There have been no other material changes outside the normal course of business to the items specified in the contractual obligations table and related disclosures under the heading "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2009 Form 10-K.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

        Our common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

        At August 3, 2010, we had 158,602,025 issued and outstanding common shares, as well as 3,851,735 stock options, 538,526 time-based RSUs, and 794,689 performance-based RSUs (which vest at up to 200% of the RSUs granted, depending on our performance relative to an industry comparator group).

        Assuming full share settlement, 23,482,008 common shares are issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes (based on a current conversion rate of 67.09145 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment); however, our intent and policy is to settle the Convertible Notes using a net share settlement approach.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risks as disclosed under the heading "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2009 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and which require management's most subjective and complex judgment due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available and make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in the annual MD&A contained in the 2009 Form 10-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

        Effective January 1, 2010, we adopted the following new accounting guidance:

64


Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Adopted as of June 30, 2010

        In March 2010, new authoritative guidance was issued recognizing the milestone method of revenue recognition as a valid application of the proportional performance model when applied to research and development arrangements. An entity may make an accounting policy election to recognize the receipt of a payment that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk is detailed in Item 2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

        Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

65



PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

        For information concerning legal proceedings, reference is made to note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The proposed business combination between Biovail and Valeant may present certain risks to our business and operations.

        On June 20, 2010, we and two of our subsidiaries entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement") with Valeant under which the companies would merge to create a combined company. The completion of the merger, which is expected to occur before the end of 2010, is subject to the approval of our shareholders and the Valeant stockholders and consummation of the financing, the terms of which are set forth in a commitment letter among Valeant, Biovail and certain financial institutions, or alternative financing. In addition, the merger is subject to other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

        The merger may present certain risks to our business and operations prior to the closing of the merger, including, among other things, risks that:

        In addition, certain risks may continue to exist after the closing of the merger, including, among other things, risks that:

66


        Additional uncertainties relating to the proposed merger with Valeant are discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus contained in the draft Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by Biovail on July 21, 2010 with the SEC and will be included in the definitive version thereof when it becomes available.

The implementation of U.S. healthcare reform legislation could adversely affect our business.

        In March 2010, healthcare reform legislation was enacted in the U.S. This new legislation imposes cost containment measures that adversely affect the amount of reimbursement for our products. These measures include increasing the minimum rebates for our drugs covered by Medicaid programs and extending such rebates to drugs dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in Medicaid managed care organizations, as well as expansion of the 340(B) Public Health Services drug pricing program. This legislation also requires that drug manufacturers provide a specified discount to Medicare Part D beneficiaries, and imposes a new fee on drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs. A number of the provisions of the legislation require new and revised regulations and guidance by governmental agencies to implement, which has not yet occurred. Moreover, additional reforms to healthcare programs may be introduced in the coming years. Accordingly, while it is too early to predict the ultimate impact of this new legislation on our business, the legislation could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
