                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY



         THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE MOST MATERIAL
INFORMATION CONTAINED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. YOU SHOULD READ THIS ENTIRE
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY, HOWEVER, INCLUDING "RISK FACTORS" AND THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES.


THE COMPANY

         We are a Michigan corporation, incorporated in 1984, engaged in the
business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic drugs for
prescription and non-prescription markets. Operations are conducted in an
approximately 72,000 square foot facility, which was designed and constructed to
our specifications and completed in 1992. The facility contains our production,
packaging, research and corporate offices, all located on a 4-acre site.


         Our present product portfolio includes 14 prescription products in 24
strengths in 50 package sizes. The products and their use for the indications
are set forth in the table below:


       GENERIC NAME                                  PURPOSE


       Guaifenesin LA*                               Decongestant
       Metroprolol Tartrate                          Hyper-Tension
       Miraphen PSE                                  Decongestant
       Paromomycin Sulfate                           Antibacterial
       Salsalate                                     Decongestant
       CMT                                           Arthritis/NSAID
       Guai/DM                                       Decongestant
       Clonazepam                                    Seizure, Panic Disorders
       Flurbiprofen                                  Arthritis/NSAID
       Carbamazepine                                 Epilepsy
       Oxaprozin                                     Rheumatoid Disease
       Metformin Hydrochloride                       Diabetes
       Tramadol Hydrochloride                        Analgesic
       Clozapine                                     Schizophrenia




         The FDA has directed the manufacturers and distributors of Guaifenesin
LA which, including us, consists of 66 companies, to cease manufacturing
Guaifenesin LA by May 23, 2003 and to cease all sales after November 2003. The
FDA has determined that Guaifenesin LA is a new drug which requires a new drug
application and approval before it may be manufactured and sold. We intend to
comply with the FDA's directive. We do not intend to file a new drug application
with the FDA with respect to Guaifenesin LA. However, we are seeking
clarification from the FDA as to whether application to manufacture and sell
Guaifenesin LA may be made other than through a new drug application. Net sales
of Guaifenesin LA during the year ended December 31, 2002 and during the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 were $1.65 million and $0.36 million, respectively.



         A significant source of our funding has been from private placement
offerings and loans. In 1991, we received a $9.1 million loan from the Economic
Development Corporation of the City of Detroit ("EDC"). Sun Pharmaceutical
Industries Limited, a specialty pharmaceutical corporation organized under the
laws of India ("Sun Pharmaceutical") which beneficially owns approximately 49%
of our outstanding shares, has contributed in 1997 and 1998 a total of $7.5
million to us for the purchase of 5.3 million shares of common stock, has
current loans outstanding to us of approximately $9.85 million and has assisted
us in obtaining line of credit loans, by acting as guarantor, in the amount of
$17.5 million.




                                       1



         We market our products through wholesale buying groups, distributors
and mail order companies. As a result, our product line is now represented in
major drug wholesalers, such as the McKesson Corporation, Amerisource Bergen and
Cardinal Health.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

         During the last two quarters of 2001, the Food and Drug Administration,
(the "FDA") approved 3 of our Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDA" or
"ANDAs"). During 2002, the FDA approved 6 additional ANDAs. In February 2003,
the FDA approved an additional ANDA.


         Three of the ANDAs have not yet been marketed and are not included in
the above disclosure of our product portfolio. The products and their use for
the indications are set forth in the table below:



              GENERIC NAME                                  PURPOSE

              Ticlopidine Hydrochloride                     Cardiology
              Meperidine Hydrochloride                      Analgesic
              Digoxin                                       Cardiology


         These products, when launched, will increase our product portfolio to
17 prescription products in 29 strengths in 61 package sizes.

         During 2002, we filed a total of 3 ANDAs with the FDA. We have 3
currently pending ANDAs with the FDA, most of which, we believe, may be approved
by 2003 year-end.

         During the first quarter of 2002, we received an increase of $2.5
million in our term loan from the Bank of Nova Scotia, bringing the total term
loan to $12.5 million.

         In addition, during the first six months of 2002, we completed a
private placement of 635,000 shares of common stock resulting in aggregate
proceeds to us of $1,692,000.


         We recently restructured our mortgage loan of approximately $7.6
million from the Economic Development Corporation of the City of Detroit (the
"EDC"). The loan, effective as of January 1, 2003, is for a term of six years
with interest rates starting at 2.75% and increasing to 5.16%. Under the terms
of the restructured loan, the EDC retains a first mortgage on our property and a
first lien on our furniture, fixtures and equipment and intellectual property.
The EDC has removed its first lien on our accounts receivable and inventory.



         On November 21, 2002, we entered into a products agreement with Sun
Pharma Global, Inc. ("Sun Global"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun
Pharmaceutical. The previous products agreement with Sun Pharmaceutical had
expired. Under the agreement, which was approved by our independent directors,
Sun Global has agreed to provide us with 25 new generic drugs over a five year
period. In return, Sun Global will



                                       2


receive 544,000 shares of a newly created preferred stock for each generic drug
transferred. The preferred shares are convertible into common shares after three
years on a one-to-one basis.

         We underwent FDA inspection in November 2002 and we were found to be in
substantial compliance with current good manufacturing practices ("cGMPs").
Although we did receive an FDA 483, a written list of observations, we do not
believe the observations are material and we have taken appropriate remedial
actions.

         Our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were
$8.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of almost
164%. We earned a net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the same period of 2002,
reflecting an improvement of almost 525%.


         Our net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
were $22,380,964 and $5,922,431, respectively, reflecting an increase of almost
278%. Our net losses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were
$2,256,004 and $5,757,463, respectively, reflecting a reduction of almost 61%.
The net losses for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2002 included a
non-cash research and development expense (technology transfer cost) of
$3,887,423 for the 1,632,000 shares of common stock issued to Sun Global for
three product transfers made to us during 2002. There was no similar expense for
the corresponding period of 2001.

                                  RISK FACTORS


         This offering involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below in addition to the other
information contained in this prospectus, including the section entitled
"Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-looking Statements" before deciding
whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be
harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and
you may lose part or all of your investment. These risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing Caraco. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may
also impair our business operations and adversely affect the market price of our
common stock.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES.


         We commenced manufacturing and sales operations in 1992. Since that
time, we have sustained substantial operating losses. However, for the first
time since inception, during the first quarter of 2003 and the second, third and
fourth quarters of 2002, we have achieved sales necessary to support operations.
Our net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $8.7
million and $3.3 million, respectively. We earned net income of $2.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $0.5 million
for the same period of 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, our net sales
were $22,380,964 and our net losses were $2,256,004 compared to $5,922,431 and
$5,767,464, respectively, for 2001. As of December 31, 2002, we had a
shareholders' deficit of $19,623,290. There is no assurance that our recent
history of having sufficient sales to support operations will continue. This
will be dependent on a number of factors including market acceptance of our
products, stability of active raw materials prices, obtaining regulatory
approvals for our products and competition.



WE ARE HIGHLY LEVERAGED.



         As of March 31, 2003, we had total liabilities of $42,377,352 and a
negative working capital of $2,211,655. The negative working capital position as
of March 31, 2003 was mainly due to the classification of certain portions of
the loans payable to Bank of Nova Scotia and ICICI Bank coming due within the
next twelve months and $5.5 million of the loans payable to Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global coming due in October 2003. While we believe sales will be
sufficient to support our operations, we will need to raise additional capital
and/or seek financing to pay off the $5.5 million in loans to Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global. If we are unable to raise the capital and/or obtain the
financing we will attempt to negotiate an extension of the Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global loans, of which there is no assurance.




                                       5







WHILE SUN PHARMACEUTICAL HAS PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT TO US, IT IS UNDER NO
LEGAL OBLIGATION TO CONTINUE TO DO SO.


         Since its acquisition of a major portion of our common stock in August
1997, Sun Pharmaceutical has made a significant investment in Caraco through
$7.5 million in capital contributions, $9.85 million in currently outstanding
loans and $17.5 million in guarantees of loans. As of March 31, 2003, Sun
Pharmaceutical beneficially owns approximately 49% of our outstanding shares.
While management believes that because of Sun Pharmaceutical's substantial
investment in Caraco, Sun Pharmaceutical has sufficient economic incentive to
continue to assist and support us in developing our business and while Sun
Pharmaceutical has generally expressed an intent to continue to support our
operations in 2003, as it has done in the past, there can be no assurance that
such support will, in fact continue for a period of time sufficient to ensure
our ultimate business success. Sun Pharmaceutical has stated in writing to our
auditors that should Caraco experience a cash shortage situation during 2003, it
would, as it has in the past, do its best to bridge the financial gap. During
the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, Sun Pharmaceutical assisted Caraco with
a $500,000 demand loan. Sun Pharmaceutical, however, is not legally obligated to
fund our operations. Sun Pharmaceutical is also subject to the prevailing
regulatory process in India and may be constrained from fully pursuing its
business interests outside of India. We believe that our financial reliance on
Sun Pharmaceutical to support our existing operations has significantly
decreased as a result of our increased revenues and cash flow. If we are unable
to successfully raise capital and Sun Pharmaceutical does not or is not able to
continue to fund our growth, it may have a material adverse effect on our
expansion of our product portfolio, including the suspension of Sun Global's
obligations to deliver products to us under its agreement with us.



         In addition to its financial assistance, Sun Pharmaceutical has
assisted us by acting as an alternative source for active raw materials:
approximately $2.4 million sold to us in 2002; sold equipment to us:
approximately $310,000 in 2002; established a research and development center in
Mumbai with a staff of 30 persons to perform formulation and analytical
development for us; lease of production machinery: $33,960 in 2002; and provided
us with technical professional employees. This is in addition to the transfer of
technology formula for 13 products to us under the now expired products
agreement. Sun Pharmaceutical's affiliate, Sun Global, has entered into a new
products agreement with us for the transfer of technology formula for 25
products during the next five years.


                                       6


WE ARE MAKING THE CURRENT OFFERING TO FUND AN EXPANSION OF OUR OPERATIONS BUT WE
MAY BE UNABLE TO RAISE SUCH FUNDS.

         This offering is being made in order to provide us with sufficient
funds to grow our business. The funds are intended to be used for capital
improvements, research and development expenses, working capital needs and debt
repayment. We cannot be certain, however, that this offering will be successful
or that any other financing will be available when needed. As disclosed under
"Use of Proceeds" below, if the Minimum Offering is subscribed, it is
anticipated that the net proceeds will be used for the research and development
expenses of one bioequivalency study for one new product. If we fail to raise
any additional financing or only achieve the Minimum Offering, it will have the
effect of delaying, suspending or terminating part of our product development
programs and inhibiting our flexibility to make debt repayments. There is no
certainty that Sun Pharmaceutical will be able to support us at such time. See
immediately preceding risk factor. We believe that we will have sufficient cash
flow, however, to continue current operations.


         Our failure to obtain FDA approvals of our products and/or our failure
to comply with applicable FDA regulations could hinder our development
activities and operations. We must obtain regulatory approval from the FDA for
each product that we intend to commercialize. The granting of approvals by the
FDA for generic pharmaceuticals has been subject to substantial delays and
rigorous scrutiny. Moreover, we are subject to periodic inspection of our
facilities and operations and testing of our products by the FDA. In November
2002 and in April 2001, we completed FDA inspections and were found to be
substantially compliant in good manufacturing practices. For the period March
1999 to April 2001, however, we were not substantially compliant. Until we
corrected the situation by, among other things, hiring an FDA consulting firm
and new personnel to head the areas of quality control, quality assurance and
regulation, the FDA did not grant approval of any then pending ANDAs, our
research and development activities and development of new products were
significantly reduced, our revenues were significantly reduced and we had to
borrow funds to meet our cash flow requirements. The FDA has extensive
enforcement powers over pharmaceutical manufacturers, including the power to
seize products, to prohibit product sales and to halt operations. Any
manufacturer failing to comply with FDA requirements would be unable to obtain
approvals for the introduction of new products. We cannot predict the extent to
which we may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments concerning
our products or the healthcare field generally. Should regulatory compliance
issues arise or regulatory changes occur, our business could be adversely
affected.

SUN PHARMACEUTICAL AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH CARACO
WITH RESPECT TO TRANSFER OF PRODUCTS, SALE OF ACTIVE RAW MATERIALS, SALE OF
EQUIPMENT, TIMING OF DEBT REPAYMENT, FUNDING AND SHAREHOLDER MATTERS SUCH AS
MERGERS.


         Sun Pharmaceutical beneficially owns approximately 49% of the currently
outstanding shares of Caraco. Four of the eight members of the Board of
Directors of Caraco are affiliated with Sun Pharmaceutical. The Chief Executive
Officer of Caraco is affiliated with Sun Pharmaceutical and the Chief Financial
and Chief Operating Officer of Caraco was formerly employed by Sun
Pharmaceutical. As a result, Sun Pharmaceutical is subject to a number of
conflicts of interests. As noted, Sun Global entered into a products agreement
with us pursuant to which Sun Global will receive shares of a newly created
Series B preferred stock. Among other things, pursuant to the terms of the
Series B preferred stock, Sun Global has a liquidation preference ahead of


                                       7





the holders of our common stock to our assets and surplus funds, if any, after
the payment of all outstanding debt. Accordingly, upon a liquidation, there may
not be available assets to distribute to holders of common stock after payment
of all debt and the Series B preferred stock liquidation preference. The
preferred stock also prohibits us from issuing any securities having a
preference ahead of the Series B preferred stock without the consent of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Series B preferred stock.


         Sun Pharmaceutical is engaged in the same business as Caraco and there
may be conflicts in determining which products will be transferred to Caraco by
Sun Pharmaceutical's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun Global, pursuant to its
products agreement and which to keep, and how much to charge for active raw
materials, equipment and/or production machinery it sells or leases to Caraco.
At this time, we are substantially dependent on Sun Pharmaceutical and its
affiliates for the development of new products. We only have a small in-house
development center. We are not prohibited, however, from expanding our in-house
development center or from contracting with third parties for technology
transfers. We are also considering manufacturing on a contract basis certain
products of which the technology and ownership would belong to Sun
Pharmaceutical. There may also be conflicts in determining when and how its
loans to Caraco shall be repaid, whether to continue to perform its formulation
and analytical research at its Mumbai facility on behalf of Caraco, and whether
and how much it shall fund Caraco's operations and which Sun Pharmaceutical
employees, if any, it determines to transfer to Caraco. Although Caraco and Sun
Pharmaceutical attempt, to the extent possible, to avoid conflicts by causing
Caraco directors who are affiliated with Sun Pharmaceutical to abstain from
voting on matters in which Sun Pharmaceutical is an interested party, and
requiring all business relationships to be on terms no less favorable than with
unaffiliated parties, such requirements will not necessarily deter Sun
Pharmaceutical from taking actions it believes are in Sun Pharmaceutical's best
interests but which may be detrimental to Caraco. This could include keeping
products with a greater potential for itself. It could also include situations
in which, although other shareholders believe it would be advantageous for
Caraco to take certain actions, for example, a merger or sale of significant
assets, Sun Pharmaceutical would not agree and would block it. Caraco believes,
that with respect to most matters, Sun Pharmaceutical's substantial investment
in Caraco will provide it with an economic incentive to assist Caraco and to
favor arrangements which are beneficial to both Sun Pharmaceutical and Caraco.


THE PAYMENT OF SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK TO SUN GLOBAL IN EXCHANGE FOR THE
PRODUCTS IT TRANSFERS TO CARACO MAY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES AND THEREBY REDUCE EARNINGS OR CREATE A LOSS.


         Pursuant to its products agreement with Caraco, Sun Global transfers
technology to Caraco. Sun Global earns 544,000 shares of preferred stock
(convertible into common stock after three years) for each ANDA product
transferred at the time such product passes its bioequivalency study. The value
of the shares issued to Sun Global for the transfer of the products shall be
included in research and development expenses. Depending on the number of
products transferred and the price attributable thereto, the issuance of
preferred stock to Sun Global could cause Caraco's research and development
expenses to increase to an amount which would significantly decrease profit or
create a loss. Preferred shares can be earned by Sun Global even if the product
is not successfully produced and marketed. To date, no shares of preferred stock
have been earned by or issued to Sun Global.


CLAIMS BY OTHERS THAT OUR PRODUCTS INFRINGE THEIR PATENTS OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

         The pharmaceutical industry has been characterized by frequent
litigation by patent and other intellectual property rights. Any claims of
patent infringement would be time-consuming and could likely result in costly
litigation, divert the time and attention of our technical personnel and
management and cause product development delays. An adverse determination in a
judicial or administrative proceeding could prevent us from developing,
manufacturing and selling some of our products, which could harm our business,
financial condition and operating results. There is no such litigation currently
pending against us.



                                       8





PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.


         The design, development and manufacture of pharmaceutical products
involve an inherent risk of product liability claims and associated adverse
publicity. Subsequent to the introduction of a product or with respect to new
products under development, there may occur adverse drug reactions which were
not identified prior thereto which could have a material adverse effect on our
sales of such products. Insurance coverage is expensive, difficult to obtain and
may not be available in the future on acceptable terms. Although we currently
maintain liability insurance for all of our products, in the amount of up to $10
million per incident and in the aggregate, there can be no assurance that the
coverage limits of our insurance policies will be adequate. Claims brought
against us, whether fully covered by insurance or not, could have a material
adverse affect upon us. See rule factor below and "Business - Litigation."


WE ARE INVOLVED IN TWO PRODUCT LIABILITY SUITS IN WHICH DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF
$20 MILLION ARE CLAIMED AND FOR WHICH WE ARE NOT INSURED.


         Two product litigation cases have recently been filed against us
involving Miraphen LA which contains phenylptopanolamine ("PPA"). In one
suit we are one of two defendants and in the other we are one of numerous
defendants. At this time, discovery is only in its initial stages. Our product
liability insurer has recently informed us that we are not covered with respect
to product liability claims involving PPA. Damages sought in the two lawsuits
against all of the defendants exceed $20 million. The ultimate outcome of these
cases and the potential effect on us cannot be determined at this time.
However, we believe we have substantial defenses to the claims and we intend to
vigorously defend the lawsuits.


RISKS RELATING TO OUR INDUSTRY

BECAUSE OUR INDUSTRY IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND MANY OF OUR COMPETITORS HAVE
SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MORE EXPERIENCE IN RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING THAN US, WE MAY NOT SUCCEED IN
DEVELOPING OUR PROPOSED PRODUCTS AND BRINGING THEM TO MARKET.

         Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Potential
competitors in the United States are numerous and most have substantially
greater capital resources and more experience in research and development,
manufacturing and marketing than us. We believe that our primary competitors are
EON Labs, Inc., Ivax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mylan Laboratories, Inc. and Taro
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. Because selling prices of generic drug products
typically decline as competition intensifies, the achievement of profitable
operations will be dependent, in part, on our ability to maintain efficient
production capabilities and to develop and introduce, or to obtain access
through strategic alliances with others, new products in a timely manner. New
drugs or future developments in alternative drug development technologies may
provide therapeutic or cost advantages to competing products. There can be no
assurance that developments by others will not render our products or
technologies non-competitive or obsolete.

WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON KEY PERSONNEL, MANY OF WHOM WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO REPLACE.

         Our success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of Narendra N.
Borkar, our Chief Executive Officer and Jitendra N. Doshi, our Chief Operating
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Borkar's current employment agreement
expires on September 22, 2003. We do not have key person life insurance on any
of our key personnel. Our future success also will depend in large part on our
ability to identify, attract and retain other highly qualified managerial,
technical and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for these individuals
is intense. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the inability
to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in
hiring qualified personnel, could make it more difficult for us to manage our
business and meet key objectives, such as the timely introduction of our
proposed products, which would harm our business, financial condition and
operating results.

RISKS RELATING TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR COMMON STOCK

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, YOUR ABILITY TO
SELL YOUR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET MAY BE LIMITED.

         Our common stock currently is quoted on the over-the-counter market on
the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is
impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also
through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts
and the news media, if any, of our company. As a result, prices for shares of
our common stock may be lower than might otherwise prevail if our common stock
was quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market or traded a national securities exchange,
like the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange.

BECAUSE OUR SHARES ARE "PENNY STOCKS," YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEM IN
THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET.

         Federal regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulate
the trading of so-called "penny stocks," which are generally defined as any
security not listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, priced at less
than $5.00 per share and offered by an issuer with limited net tangible assets
and revenues. Since our common stock currently is quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board at less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is a "penny stock" and may
not be traded unless a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and
the risks associated therewith is delivered to a potential purchaser prior to
any trade.

         In addition, because our common stock is not listed on Nasdaq or any
national securities exchange and currently trades at less than $5.00 per share,
trading in our common stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act.
Under this rule, broker-dealers must take certain steps prior to selling a
"penny stock," which steps include:

         -  obtaining financial and investment information from the investor;

         -  obtaining a written suitability questionnaire and purchase agreement
            signed by the investor; and

         -  providing the investor a written identification of the shares being
            offered and the quantity of the shares.

         If these penny stock rules are not followed by the broker-dealer, the
investor has no obligation to purchase the shares. The application of these
comprehensive rules will make it more difficult for the broker-dealers to sell
our common stock and our stockholders, therefore, may have difficulty in selling
their shares in the secondary trading market.

SALES OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC
MARKET, INCLUDING THE SHARES OFFERED UNDER THIS PROSPECTUS AND UNDER OTHER
REGISTRATION STATEMENTS, COULD LOWER OUR STOCK PRICE AND IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO
RAISE FUNDS IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS.

         Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in
the public market, including the shares offered under this prospectus and under
other registration statements, or the perception that such sales could occur,
could aversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock and could
make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital through the sale of
equity securities.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
SUFFER A DECLINE IN VALUE.

         Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The market price
of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of
factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:


                                       10




         -  progress of our products through the regulatory process;

         -  announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or
            our competitors;

         -  government regulatory action affecting our products or our
            competitors' products;

         -  developments or disputes concerning patent or proprietary rights;

         -  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

         -  changes in our financial estimates by securities analysts;

         -  general market conditions for emerging growth and pharmaceutical
            companies;

         -  broad market fluctuations; and

         -  economic conditions in the United States.



         From July 1, 2000 through March 31, 2003, the closing sales price of
our stock has ranged from $0.20 to $4.65.



PROVISIONS IN OUR CHARTER DOCUMENTS AND MICHIGAN LAW MAY PREVENT OR FRUSTRATE
ANY ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OR REMOVE CURRENT MANAGEMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS.



         Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as
provisions of Michigan law, could make it more difficult for shareholders to
replace or remove current management. These provisions include:


         -  our Board of Directors has the authority to issue common stock and
            preferred stock and to determine the price, rights and preferences
            of any new series of preferred stock without further shareholder
            approval;

         -  our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with each
            class serving staggered three-year terms;

         -  super majority voting is required to amend key provisions of our
            articles of incorporation and bylaws;

         -  there are limitations on who can call special meetings of
            shareholders; and

         -  in order to nominate a director or make a proposal at a
            shareholders' meeting, a shareholder must give us advance notice.



         We refer you to "Business - 1999 Equity Participation Plan" for
disclosure of provisions which provide that all outstanding options shall vest
upon a change in control. This may discourage a third party from attempting a
change in control of our Company.

         We also refer you to "Description of Securities - Anti-Takeover
Provisions of Michigan Law and our Articles of Incorporation" for more
information on the specific provisions of our articles of incorporation, our
bylaws and Michigan law that could discourage, delay or prevent a change of
control of our company.


SUN PHARMACEUTICAL AND ITS AFFILIATES AND OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
OWN A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK TO CONTROL OUR COMPANY,
WHICH COULD DISCOURAGE OR PREVENT A TAKEOVER, EVEN IF AN ACQUISITION WOULD BE
BENEFICIAL TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS.

         Sun Pharmaceutical and its affiliates and our directors and executive
officers currently own or control approximately 65% of our outstanding voting
power. This percentage excludes the effect of shares issuable upon the exercise
of outstanding options and the issuance of any additional shares to Sun Global
for product technology transfers. Accordingly, these shareholders, individually
and as a group, may be able to influence the



                                       11




outcome of shareholder votes, involving votes concerning the election of
directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our articles of
incorporation and bylaws and the approval of certain mergers or other similar
transactions, such as a sale of substantially all of our assets. Such control by
existing shareholders could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change in control of our company.

PURCHASERS IN THIS OFFERING WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION
OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

         We expect that the public offering price per share will significantly
exceed the net tangible book value per share of the outstanding common stock.
Accordingly, purchasers of common stock in this offering will:

         -  pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the value of our
            assets after subtracting our liabilities; and


         -  assuming a purchase price of $4.45 per share, contribute
            approximately 32.4% of the total amount to fund us to date, but will
            only own approximately 15.5% of the shares outstanding. The shares
            outstanding exclude shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
            options and the conversion of preferred stock and the issuance of
            any additional shares to Sun Global for product technology
            transfers.


EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING OPTIONS WILL DILUTE EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS AND COULD
DECREASE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.


         As of March 31, 2003, we had issued and outstanding 23,762,532
shares of common stock and outstanding options of 2,916,199 additional shares of
common stock at an average exercise price of approximately $1.78 per share. To
the extent these outstanding options are ultimately exercised, there will be
further dilution to investors in this offering. The existence of the outstanding
options and convertible preferred stock may adversely affect the market price of
our common stock and the terms under which we could obtain additional equity
capital.


WE LIKELY WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY SECURITIES WHICH WILL DILUTE YOUR SHARE
OWNERSHIP.

         We likely will issue additional equity securities through the exercise
of options that are outstanding or may be outstanding, through the conversion of
preferred stock that may become outstanding pursuant to the terms of the
products agreement between Sun Global and us, and possibly to raise capital.
These additional issuances will dilute your share ownership.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE AND, THEREFORE, ANY RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK MUST
COME FROM INCREASES IN THE FAIR MARKET VALUE AND TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.

         We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock. We do not
intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and,
therefore, any return on your investment in our common stock must come from
increases in the fair market value and trading price of our common stock.
Further, the EDC loan restricts the payment of dividends without its consent.

MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION AS TO THE USE OF PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING AND
COULD SPEND OR INVEST THE NET PROCEEDS IN WAYS IN WHICH THE SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT
AGREE.




                                       12






         We expect to use most of the net proceeds from this offering for
expenses related to capital improvements, research and development and working
capital purposes and debt repayment. As noted, we could decide to pay off all or
part of the Sun Pharmaceutical debt or the EDC debt. Our management has broad
discretion as to the use of proceeds of this offering and could spend or invest
the net proceeds from this offering in ways in which the shareholders may not
agree.


           CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


         This prospectus contains forward-looking statements concerning our
financial condition, results of operations and business, the anticipated
financial and other benefits of this offering and the plans and objectives of
our management following this offering, including, without limitation,
statements pertaining to:

         -  our anticipated future profitability;

         -  our need to raise additional capital through future equity
            financings;

         -  our spending capital on research and development of new products;

         -  our expectations of future FDA approvals of pending ANDAs;

         -  our expectations of introducing new products into the marketplace;

         -  our existing cash and any net proceeds from this offering and
            whether and how long these funds will be sufficient to fund our
            growth; and

         -  restructuring of the EDC loan.


         These and other forward-looking statements are primarily in the
sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business." Generally, you
can identify these statements because they use phrases like "anticipates,"
"believes," "expects," "future," "intends," "plans," and similar terms. These
statements are only predictions. Although we do not make forward-looking
statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot
guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may differ materially from those we
anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen. You
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply
only as of the date of this prospectus. Our actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many
reasons, including, among others, the risks we face as described in the section
entitled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.


         Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: (i) that
the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to further
adjustment; (ii) variations in quantity results; (iii) lack of success in
obtaining additional financing; (iv) inability to renegotiate and extend our
loan with the EDC; (v) governmental restrictions on the sale of certain
products; (vi) not obtaining FDA approvals for new products or delays in
receiving FDA approvals; (vii) lack of successful manufacturing and marketing of
commercially viable products on a timely basis; (viii) dependence on key
personnel; (ix) development by competitors of new or superior products or
cheaper products or new technology for the production of products or the entry
into the market of new competitors; (x) market and customer acceptance and
demand for new pharmaceutical products; (xi) availability of active raw
materials; (xii) timing and success of product development and launch; (xiii)
integrity and reliability of our data; (xiv) lack of success in attaining full
compliance with regard to regulatory and cGMP compliance; and (xv) other risks




                                       13




identified from time to time in our reports and registration statements filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as otherwise required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this prospectus and other
statements made from time to time from us or our representatives, might not
occur. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

SALES BY CARACO

         We are offering the shares on a "best efforts minimum-maximum" basis
directly through our officers, who will not receive any commissions or other
remuneration of any kind for selling shares in this offering, other than
reimbursement of offering expenses incurred by them. This offering is a self
underwritten offering, which means that it does not involve the participation of
an underwriter to market, distribute or sell the shares offered under this
prospectus. We may sell shares directly by us and/or we may offer the shares
through brokers or dealers, who may receive compensation in the form of
commissions. We do not currently have any understandings or arrangements with
any person to act as a broker or dealer in this offering. Any broker or dealer
that participates in the distribution of shares may be deemed to be an
underwriter, and any profits on the sale of the shares by any such broker or
dealer and any commissions received by any such broker or dealer may be deemed
to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). If one or more brokers or dealers are engaged, the total
commission and fees paid to such brokers and dealers in connection with the sale
of the shares offered under this prospectus will not exceed 8% of the selling
price of the shares.

         The shares may not be offered or sold in certain jurisdictions unless
they are registered or otherwise comply with the applicable securities laws of
such jurisdictions by exemption, qualification or otherwise. We intend to sell
the shares only in the states in which this offering has been qualified or an
exemption from the registration requirements is available, and purchases of
shares may be made only in those states. To comply with the securities laws of
certain jurisdictions, as applicable, the shares may be required to be offered
and sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. If such brokers
or dealers are engaged, the total commission and fees paid to such brokers and
dealers in connection with the sale of shares will not exceed 8% of the selling
price of the shares.

         Until 100,000 shares (the "Minimum Offering") have been sold, all funds
received from subscribers for our common stock will be held in escrow by Bank
One, Michigan, as escrow agent, pursuant to an agreement with the escrow agent.
Pending disbursement, subscription proceeds will be deposited in a non-interest
bearing account. All funds received after the Minimum Offering has been
obtained, will be deposited directly with us for immediate use.


         Unless collected funds sufficient to purchase at least the Minimum
Offering are received by the escrow agent from accepted subscribers within 180
days from the date of commencement of the offering, the offering will terminate
and all funds received from subscribers will be promptly returned in full by the
escrow agent directly to subscribers, without interest or deduction, as provided
in the escrow agreement. We may, however, extend the offering, in our sole
discretion, for an additional 90 days. Provided that at least 100,000 shares of
common stock are sold within the foregoing period, we may continue to offer our
common stock for sale until 4,365,000 shares are sold or April 30, 2004,
whichever occurs first. However, we may terminate our offering at any earlier
time if we choose to do so. For services performed by it pursuant to the escrow
agreement, we have paid the escrow agent fees in the amount of $1,500.


         To purchase common stock in this offering, a prospective investor must
(1) complete and sign a subscription agreement and any other documents that we
may require and (2) deliver such documents, together with payment in an amount
equal to the full purchase price of the shares of common stock being purchased,
to


                                       15

the officer or broker or dealer, as applicable. Until the Minimum Offering is
sold, checks should be made payable to "Bank One, Michigan, Escrow Agent." After
the Minimum Offering, checks should be made payable directly to "Caraco." WE
WILL DETERMINE, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, TO ACCEPT OR REJECT SUBSCRIPTIONS WITHIN
FIVE DAYS FOLLOWING THEIR RECEIPT. FUNDS OF AN INVESTOR WHOSE SUBSCRIPTION IS
REJECTED WILL BE PROMPTLY RETURNED DIRECTLY TO SUCH PERSON, WITHOUT INTEREST OR
DEDUCTION, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ESCROW AGREEMENT. NO SUBSCRIPTION MAY BE
WITHDRAWN, REVOKED OR TERMINATED BY THE PURCHASER. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
REFUSE TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK TO ANY PERSON AT ANY TIME.

         We anticipate that we will indemnify brokers or dealers against any
costs or liabilities incurred by them by reasons of misstatements or omissions
to state material facts in connection with statements made in the registration
statement or the prospectus. We also anticipate that brokers or dealers will, in
turn agree to indemnify us against any liabilities by reason of misstatements or
omissions to state material facts in connection with the statements made in the
prospectus, based on information relating to the brokers or dealers and
furnished in writing. To the extent that this indemnification may purport to
provide exculpation from possible liabilities arising from the federal
securities laws, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable.

SALES BY SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

         The Selling Shareholders acquired their shares of Caraco common stock
directly from us in private transactions in March, April and May 2002. To our
knowledge, none of the Selling Shareholders has entered into any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with any particular broker or market maker with
respect to the shares offered under this prospectus, nor do we know the identity
of any broker or market maker that will participate in the offering. The shares
of common stock may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling
Shareholders or by their respective pledgees, donees, transferees and other
successors in interest.

         The Selling Shareholders will act independently of us in making
decisions with respect to the timing, manner, size and price of each sale. Sales
may be made over the OTC Bulletin Board, in the over-the-counter market, in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at then prevailing market
prices, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
Sales may be made directly or through agents designated from time to time or
through dealers or underwriters to be designated or in negotiated transactions.
The shares may be sold by one or more of, or a combination of, the following
methods:

         -    a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged by a Selling
              Shareholder will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may
              position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
              facilitate the transaction;

         -    purchases by the broker or dealer as principal and resale by the
              broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

         -    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
              broker solicits purchasers; and

         -    privately negotiated transactions.


         Caraco has been advised by the Selling Shareholders they have not, as
of May 27, 2003, entered into any arrangement with a broker or dealer for the
sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, or secondary
distribution of a purchase by a broker or dealer. In effecting sales, brokers or
dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or
dealers to participate.




                                       16

         In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the
Selling Shareholders may, if permitted by law, also enter into hedging
transactions. For example, the Selling Shareholder may:

         -    enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares of
              common stock by brokers or dealers;

         -    sell shares of common stock short and redeliver these shares to
              close out the short position;

         -    enter into option or other types of transactions that require the
              Selling Shareholders to deliver shares of common stock to a broker
              or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common
              stock under this prospectus; or

         -    loan or pledge shares of common stock to a broker or dealer, who
              may sell the loaned shares, or in the event of default, sell the
              pledged shares.

         Brokers or dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of
commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholders or the
purchasers of the common stock in amounts to be negotiated in connection with
the sale. Brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may
be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in
connection with the sales, and any commission, discount or concession may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In
addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale under
Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this
prospectus. No period of time has been fixed within which the shares covered by
this prospectus may be offered and sold.

         We have informed the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulation
rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Regulation M
thereunder, may apply to their sales of shares in the market and have furnished
each of the Selling Shareholders with a copy of these rules. We have also
informed the Selling Shareholders of the need for delivery of copies of this
prospectus in connection with any sale of shares of common stock hereunder.

         This offering will terminate on the earlier to occur of:

         -    the date on which all shares offered have been sold by the Selling
              Shareholders; or

         -    the date on which all shares held by a Selling Shareholder may be
              sold by such Selling Shareholder in compliance with Rule 144 under
              the Securities Act within any three-month period.

         We will pay the expenses of registering the shares under the Securities
Act, including registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of our counsel and accountants, all of our internal expenses, and
all legal fees and disbursements and other expenses of complying with state
securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdictions in which the securities to be
offered are to be registered or qualified. The Selling Shareholders will bear
all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

         All of the Selling Shareholders named below acquired shares of our
common stock being offered under this prospectus directly from us in private
transactions in March, April and May 2002. The following table sets



                                       17


forth information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of Caraco
common stock as of March 31, 2003, by the Selling Shareholders.



         The percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based
on 23,762,532 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2003. To our
knowledge, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power
with respect to all shares of common stock shown in the table to be beneficially
owned by such person.


         None of the Selling Shareholders has had any position, office or other
material relationship with us within the past three years. The table assumes
that the Selling Shareholders will sell all of the shares offered by them in
this offering, however, the Selling Shareholders may offer all or part of the
shares for resale from time to time. We are unable to determine the exact number
of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur. We
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of the shares offered under
this prospectus.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         Caraco will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by
the Selling Shareholders. If all 4,365,000 shares of common stock offered by
Caraco are sold pursuant to this offering, we will receive gross proceeds of
approximately $19,424,250 million. The gross proceeds will be reduced by legal,
accounting and other miscellaneous expenses of approximately $156,000. If we
utilize the services of registered brokers and dealers, the gross proceeds will
be further reduced by the commissions payable to such brokers and dealers. Set



                                       18


forth below is an estimate of how we intend to use the net proceeds of the
offering, assuming the gross proceeds of $19,424,250: $2 million towards capital
improvements, $5 million towards research and development, $5-7 million towards
working capital requirements and the balance for debt elimination. If the net
proceeds are less than fully subscribed, we shall determine the proper
allocation among the foregoing proposed uses. We may also determine to
pay off all or a portion of the $5.5 million in loans from Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global which are due October 2003. This may reduce the amounts available
for the other proposed uses. If only the Minimum Offering of 100,000 shares
($445,000) is subscribed, it is anticipated that the net proceeds will be used
for the research and development expenses of one bioequivalency study; in such
case, we would need to seek additional financing to grow our business. See "Risk
Factors."


                                 DIVIDEND POLICY

         We never have declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock.
We currently intend to retain all future earnings for the operation and
expansion of our business. We do not anticipate declaring or paying cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash
dividends on the common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings, capital
requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our
Board of Directors. No dividend may be declared without the consent of the EDC.

                           PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK

         Our common stock trades in the over-the-counter market on the OTC
Bulletin Board, under the symbol "CARA." The following table sets forth, in U.S.
dollars and in dollars and cents (in lieu of fractions), the high and low bid
prices for each of the calendar quarters indicated. These bid prices were
obtained from the Nasdaq OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices,
without retail mark up, mark down or commissions and may not represent actual

     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                  OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and
related notes included elsewhere in this registration statement and the
cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements presented in the
sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Statement Concerning
Forward-looking Statements."

OVERVIEW


The first quarter of 2003 was a quarter of record revenues and net income. 2002
was a year of record revenues, significantly lower net losses and significantly
improved cash flow. In comparison we have historically experienced limited
sales, operating losses and cash-flow difficulties.



During 2001 and 2000, Sun Pharmaceutical assisted Caraco in obtaining loans from
ICICI Bank Limited and The Bank of Nova Scotia of $5.0 million and $12.5
million. We have utilized the $5.0 million from ICICI Bank Limited during 2000
and $10.9 million from The Bank of Nova Scotia during 2002, 2001 and 2000. Also,
Sun Pharmaceutical provided loans of an additional $0.5 million, $1.4 million
and $2.45 million to us during the first quarter of 2003, and the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $0.5 million is a demand loan used
for working capital needs. The loans in 2002 and 2001 were primarily utilized by
us to fund the operations, research and development of new products and finance
the increased working capital needs resulting from the increase in our product
portfolio following FDA approvals of 3 products during the last two quarters of
2001 and 6 products in 2002. In February 2003, the FDA approved an additional
ANDA. We also filed 3 ANDA applications to the FDA





                                       21


during 2002, bringing the total pending approvals to 3. We successfully
restructured our EDC loan in April 2003. See "Business Property" and "Business -
EDC Financing."


FDA COMPLIANCE AND PRODUCT APPROVALS

Towards the end of the first and beginning of the second quarters of 2001, and
in November 2002, the FDA conducted inspections of our facility. During these
inspections, we were found to be substantially in compliance with the cGMP
regulations. While the FDA did issue us an FDA 483 list of observations after
each inspection, we do not believe they are material and we have taken
appropriate remedial actions. During 2002, the FDA approved 6 ANDAs. In February
2003, the FDA approved an additional ANDA. 3 ANDAs are currently pending
approval.


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2002



NET SALES. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were
$8,721,600 and $3,301,959, respectively, reflecting an increase of almost 164%.
The increase is due to the higher production and marketing of most of our
products following the achievement of substantial compliance with cGMPs. Sales
of Metformin Hydrochloride, Tramadol Hydrochloride and Metoprolol Tartrate
accounted for 85% of our net sales for the quarter. Sales of Metformin
Hydrochloride increased because of our contract with the Veterans
Administration, however, the sales of Metformin Hydrochloride to such agency
have been made at lower sales prices. (See "Gross Profit" below).



GROSS PROFIT. We earned a gross profit of $4,495,651 during the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a gross profit of $1,454,412 during the
corresponding period in 2002. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales
volumes with improved margins due to change in sales mix to more profitable
products such as Metroprolol Tartrate, Metformin Hydrochloride; Tramadol
Hydrochloride and Oxaprozin; acquiring active raw materials at more competitive
prices; reduction in manufacturing costs due to increased batch sizes; improved
efficiency in the overall manufacturing process associated with higher
utilization of plant capacity; and utilization of equipment installed during the
twelve months ended December 31, 2002 of $1.6 million, and ability to absorb
operational overheads due to higher sales.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31,
2002 were $949,784 and $754,655 respectively, representing an increase of 25%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses have effectively decreased down to
10.8% of net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2003 from almost 22%
of net sales during the same period in 2002.



The actual increase of approximately $195,000 was due to additional professional
costs ($25,000) primarily in connection with the ongoing litigation against the
Company, costs of introducing new products into the market ($25,000), additional
sales personnel ($15,000), increases in the salaries of sales and administrative
staff ($25,000), recording of variable compensation expense on stock options
granted and extended to a director ($35,000) and costs associated with
development of improved services and quality measures to customers.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Cash research and development expenses of
$899,931 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were higher by 5% when
compared with $850,873 incurred during the corresponding period of 2002. The
major reason for the additional cash research and development expenses was the
costs for raw material of approximately $80,000 for one of the projects
currently undergoing efficacy studies and other filing costs.



DEPRECIATION EXPENSE. We incurred depreciation expense of $138,770 for the first
three months of March 2003 as compared to $108,208 incurred in the corresponding
period of 2002. Depreciation has increased due to additional investment into
capital assets during 2002 of $1.6 million.



INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, which was incurred in connection with our
mortgage obligation to the EDC, interest on notes payable to Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global as well as on term loans granted to us by ICICI Bank and the Bank
of Nova Scotia, and guaranteed by Sun Pharmaceutical, was $441,187 and $368,127,
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase
in the amount of interest is due to the increase in borrowing levels. We have
utilized the $1.6 million of the remaining draws from Bank of Nova Scotia as
well as having borrowed $500,000 from Sun Pharma (a demand loan) to finance
increased working capital.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. We earned net income of $2,204,749 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $519,243 for the same period
of 2002, respectively, reflecting an improvement of almost 525%. The
significantly improved results of operations in the current three-month period
as compared to the previous respective period are primarily due to significantly
higher sales volumes, improved cost absorption due to increased sales, improved
product mix and obtaining more competitive prices for active raw materials.



A number of uncertainties exist that may influence our future operating results,
including general economic conditions, changes in conditions affecting the
pharmaceutical industry primarily related to generic drug competition, obtaining
additional financing, government restrictions on sale of certain products,
obtaining new FDA approvals, development by competitors of new or superior
products or new technology for production of products or the entry into the
market of new competitors.


TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED WITH TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2001

         NET SALES. Net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and
2001 were $22,380,964 and $5,922,431, respectively, reflecting an increase of
almost 278%. The increase is due to the higher production and marketing of our
existing and newly approved products following the achievement of substantial
compliance with cGMPs. Currently, we manufacture and market six of the nine
ANDAs which were approved by the FDA during 2001 and 2002. Net sales of these
newly approved products were almost 45% of total net sales for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2002. The majority of the net sales increase from sales of
new products were from net sales of Metformin Hydrochloride and Tramadol
Hydrochloride, 55% and 5% of net sales for the twelve months ended December 31,
2002, respectively.

         Net sales have also improved for the following reasons:

         -    Net sales of Metoprolol Tartrate have increased significantly to
              $6.60 million during the twelve months of 2002 as compared to
              $1.85 during the same period of 2001.


         -    We have been successful in obtaining larger sales contracts in
              2002 with an agency of the U.S. government, the Veterans
              Administration, and with one large mail order company, however,
              the sales of Metformin Hydrochloride to such agency have been made
              at lower profit margins. (See discussion on "Gross Profit" below)


         -    With our larger base of products, we have been able to attract
              both new customers as noted above, and larger orders.

         GROSS PROFIT. We earned a gross profit of $10,333,554 during the twelve
months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to a gross profit of $1,736,372
during the corresponding period in 2001. The improvement was primarily due to
higher sales volumes with improved margins due to product mix in the current
period as compared to the corresponding period of 2001 and ability to absorb
operational overheads due to higher sales.

         As a result of increased sales, the gross profit margin has also
improved when comparing the gross profit margins for the twelve month periods
ending December 31, 2002 and 2001. Gross profit margin for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2002 was 46% as compared to almost 29% for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2002. The increases were the result of:


                                       22

         -    Change in sales mix to higher profit margin products such as
              Metoprolol Tartrate, Tramadol Hydrochloride and Oxaprozin.

         -    Reduction in manufacturing costs due to increased batch sizes. For
              example, Metoprolol Tartrate batch sizes have increased by
              approximately four fold.

         -    Improved efficiency in the overall manufacturing process
              associated with higher utilization of plant capacity.

         -    Utilization of newly installed larger and faster equipment to
              achieve economics of scale.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively were $3,827,727 and $2,680,494 respectively, representing an
increase of 43%. Selling, general and administrative expenses have effectively
decreased to 14.8% of net sales during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002
from almost 37% of net sales during the same period in 2001.

         The actual increase of approximately $1,147,213 between the selling,
general and administrative expenses incurred during 2002 in comparison to 2001
was due to additional legal and professional costs ($250,000) primarily in
connection with the negotiations of a new product agreement with Sun Global,
litigation defense, SEC and blue sky registration, and negotiations with the
EDC, costs of introducing new products into the market ($150,000), additional
sales personnel ($40,000), increases in the salaries of sales and administrative
staff ($80,000), recording of variable compensation expense on the extension of
the term of a director's stock options ($262,000), and the balance for royalties
and costs associated with development of improved services and quality measures
to customers.

         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Cash research and development
expenses of $3,348,789 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 were higher
by 9% when compared with $3,079,804 incurred during the corresponding period of
2001. We incurred non-cash research and development expenses (technology
transfer cost) of $3,887,424 for the 1,632,000 shares of common stock issued to
Sun Global for three product transfers made to us during 2002. There was no
similar expense for the corresponding period of 2001. The major reason for the
additional cash research and development expenses were the costs for three
bio-study projects, for which we recorded expenditures of approximately $593,000
during 2002.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, which was incurred in connection
with our mortgage obligation to the EDC, interest on notes payable to Sun
Pharmaceutical and Sun Global as well as on term loans granted to us by ICICI
Bank and the Bank of Nova Scotia, and guaranteed by Sun Pharmaceutical, was
$1,539,075 and $1,748,922, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The decrease in the amount of interest is due to a lower
LIBOR rate on the loans from ICICI Bank of India and Bank of Nova Scotia,
despite an increase in borrowing levels. Also, effective April 1, 2001, Sun
Pharmaceutical and Sun Global reduced the rate of interest payable to them from
10% to 8%.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The net losses for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $2,256,004 and $5,757,464, respectively,
reflecting a reduction of almost 61%. The net losses for the twelve month
periods are directly related to net sales, which were inadequate to absorb our
interest costs and the impact of our non-cash technology transfer cost of
$3,887,424 recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. The
significantly lower net losses in the current twelve-month period as compared to
the previous period are primarily due to significantly higher sales volumes and
better-cost absorption due to



                                       23

increased sales and an improved product mix. Also, the utilization in the third
and fourth quarters of 2002 of $1.59 million of new equipment installed during
the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 helped to improve productivity.




YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

         NET SALES. Net sales for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000
were $5,922,431 and $2,377,546, respectively. While this represents a 150%
increase over the previous year due to increased production and marketing of our
existing products, it was still at a low level. During the third quarter, we
began the manufacture and marketing of 2 of the 3 FDA approved products. The
sales of these products were only a small part of the gross sales during the
last six months of 2001. Sales of Metroprolol Tartrate, Guaifenesin and
Paramomycin Sulfate started to see substantial increases due to the facility
being cGMP approved. Gross sales from these products increased $2.5 million,
$965,000 and $703,000, respectively in 2001 from 2000 levels. This represented
$3.25 million of additional net sales in 2001 or 92% of the $3.5 million
increase.

         GROSS PROFIT/ LOSS. We earned a gross profit of $1,736,372 for the year
ended December 31, 2001, compared to a gross loss of $301,354 during the same
period of 2000. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volumes in the
current period as compared to those during the corresponding period of 2000 and
ability to absorb operational overheads due to higher sales.

         SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for 2001 were $2,680,494 compared to $2,508,738 in 2000
for a slight increase of 7%. The increase was mainly a result of higher selling
expenses of approximately $50,000 due to increased sales and increased
expenditures of $90,000 incurred for maintaining FDA compliance.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses of
$3,079,804 for the year ended December 31, 2001 were approximately the same,
when compared with $3,467,267, as restated, incurred during the corresponding
period of 2000. However, during 2001, we did not incur any non-cash expense in
relation to shares of common stock issued in exchange for the product technology
transfer by Sun Pharmaceutical. During 2000, such non-cash expenses totaled
$401,472 as restated. The 2000 research and development expenses, and the
non-cash expenses, as restated were increased in connection with the valuation
of the common stock issued to Sun Pharmaceutical in exchange for the product
technology transfer.


         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense, which was incurred in connection
with our mortgage obligation to the EDC, interest on notes payable to Sun
Pharmaceutical and Sun Pharma Global as well as on term loans granted to us by
ICICI Bank and the Bank of Nova Scotia, and guaranteed by Sun Pharmaceutical,
was $1,748,922 and $1,555,192, for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The increase is primarily the result of higher borrowing levels.
Effective April 1, 2001, Sun Pharmaceutical and its affiliates reduced the rate
of interest payable to them from 10% to 8% per annum. Interest income for 2001
and 2000 was $15,385 and $38,010, respectively.



                                       24

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Net losses for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000 were $5,757,463 and $7,794,540 as restated, respectively. This
represents a reduction of 35.4% over the previous year. The operating losses
were directly related to (1) net sales, which were inadequate to absorb our
fixed costs of the operational expenses and (2) the impact of research and
development spending. The losses were lower in 2001 compared to 2000 primarily
due to higher sales volumes and better-cost absorption due to increased sales,
despite higher interest expense. The 2000 operating results were restated by
increasing the net loss by $171,832 in connection with the valuation of common
shares issued to Sun Pharmaceutical in exchange for the product technology
transfer during 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


         At March 31, 2003, we had negative working capital of $2,211,655
compared with a negative working capital of $4,693,663 at the corresponding
period of 2002. The negative working capital positions as of March 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively, were mainly due to the classification of certain portions of
the loans payable to Bank of Nova Scotia and ICICI Bank coming due within the
next twelve months and $5.5 million of the loans payable to Sun Pharmaceutical
and Sun Global coming due in October 2003. In the first quarter of 2002,
$3,208,769 of the EDC debt was reclassified from accrued interest to principal.



         To enable us to fund our research and development activities, repay
certain term loans and fund working capital needs, Sun Pharmaceutical has become
a security guarantor for a credit line of $5 million from ICICI Bank of India
and $12.5 million from Bank of Nova Scotia. As of March 31, 2003, we have
received $5,000,000 from ICICI Bank of India and $12,500,000 from Bank of Nova
Scotia through these credit facilities. Further, we have received an additional
short-term loan of $500,000 during the first quarter of 2003 from Sun
Pharmaceutical to help us finance our increased working capital requirements.
The cash generated out of the operations has generally been sufficient to run
our operations as well as repay a portion of the EDC debt.


FUTURE OUTLOOK


         We have experienced difficult times in the past. With our having been
found to be in substantial compliance by the FDA with respect to cGMPs during
the second quarter of 2001 and the fourth quarter of 2002, and also with the
approvals of 11 ANDAs during 2001, 2002 and 2003, management feels that our
future outlook is brighter. Revenues have been improving and consequently, so
have operational profits, net income and cash flows. Also, management is focused
on cost controls and consumption controls. Management's future plans for
improving profitability, cash flow positions and operations include increased
sales of existing and new approved products (see below) and infusion of
additional funding through the issuance of equity. See "Business" - Caraco's
Products and Product Strategy for disclosure relating to the cessation of sales
of Guaifenesin LA.



         Management believes that the new products agreement ("Products
Agreement") with Sun Global, pursuant to which products are paid for in a newly
created preferred stock and not in cash should benefit Caraco. As noted below,
in "Business-Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd," under the Products Agreement,
we conduct, at our expense, all tests, including bioequivalency studies. The new
Products Agreement, which was approved by an independent committee of directors
of Caraco, provides that Sun Global, an affiliate of Sun Pharmaceutical, will
provide us with 25 ANDAs in exchange for convertible preferred stock (544,000
shares of preferred stock for each ANDA). The preferred stock has a number of
restrictive features. It is non-voting, does not pay dividends and, unless there
is a change in control, may not be converted for a period of 3 years from the
date it is earned. We believe that the new Products Agreement benefits us by,
among other things, preserving our cash resources. By acquiring products for
stock instead of cash or instead of for cash and for royalties, we should
thereby have





                                       25


such cash available to support our operations. While the payment for products in
stock would have the effect of reducing earnings or causing a loss because the
stock will be valued on the respective dates on which it is earned and
constitute a non-cash research and development expense, we believe that the
advantages to us of preserving our cash for operations outweighs the non-cash
effect on earnings. We also believe that receiving products from Sun Global,
which products, it is believed, will be originated by Sun Pharmaceutical,
provides us with a partner with a proven track record; one that already has
provided us with quality products. In addition, the products to be selected must
receive the concurrence of the independent committee. This will help provide
independent input into the process of selecting products which appear likely to
be economically sound. Moreover, the new Products Agreement, which will have the
effect of increasing Sun Pharmaceutical's beneficial ownership in us, should, we
believe, provide it with the incentive to continue to help us succeed. Sun
Pharmaceutical has already provided us with millions of dollars in capital,
loans, and guarantees of loans, and with personnel, active raw materials and
equipment which have significantly helped us to date.



During the first quarter of 2003, we have generated substantial revenues as
compared to the past. Capacity utilizations are improving and costs are being
controlled. We expect revenues to improve during the rest of 2003.

Management's plans for the remainder of 2003 include:

         o        Continued focus on FDA compliance.

         o        Continued research and development activities.

         o        Increased market share for certain existing products and
                  recently introduced new products and enhanced customer reach
                  and satisfaction.

         o        Prompt introduction of new approved products to the market.

         o        Striving to capture larger market share for existing products.

         o        Achieving operational efficiencies by attaining economies of
                  scale, cost reduction per unit, and obtaining additional cost
                  reductions for active substances acquired from competitors
                  and/or Sun Pharmaceutical.

         o        Increase the width and depth of product portfolio to serve
                  customers effectively.

         o        Increase the number of products, as well as anticipated volume
                  increases for existing products, which, in turn, will improve
                  manufacturing capacity utilization.

         o        Considering alternative ways of increasing cash flow including
                  developing, manufacturing and marketing ANDAs owned by Sun
                  Pharmaceutical.

         o        Locating and utilizing facilities of contract-manufacturers to
                  enhance production and therefore sales.






                                       26



                                    BUSINESS


         General. We were organized under Michigan law in 1984, to engage in the
business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic drugs for the
ethical or prescription and over-the-counter or non-prescription or "OTC"
markets.

         A generic drug is a pharmaceutical product, which is the chemical and
therapeutic equivalent of a brand-name drug as to which the patent and/or market
exclusivity has expired. Generics are well accepted for substitution of brand
products as they sell at a discount to the branded product's price and for their
equivalence in quality and bioavailability.

         A significant source of our funding has been from private placement
offerings and loans. Sun Pharmaceutical a specialty pharmaceutical corporation
organized under the laws of India which currently beneficially owns
approximately 49% of our outstanding shares, has contributed equity capital and
has advanced us loans. Also, pursuant to a products agreement with us, Sun
Pharmaceutical has transferred certain products to us. See "Current Status" and
"Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited" below. Our manufacturing facility and
executive offices were constructed pursuant to a $9.1 million loan in 1990 from
the EDC. See "Current Status" and "Property and - EDC Financing" below.


         Current Status. For the first time since inception, during the first
quarter of 2003 and the second, third and fourth quarters of 2002, we achieved
sales necessary to support our operations. Our net sales for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were $8.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
We earned net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003
as compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the same period of 2002.  Net
sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 were $22.4 million as
compared to $5.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. We have
incurred a nominal operating loss of $730,365 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2002 as compared to an operating loss of $4,023,926 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2001. After interest costs, we have incurred a net
loss of $2,256,004 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to
a net loss of $5,757,463 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2001. At March
31, 2003, we had a stockholders' deficit of $17,418,541 as compared to a deficit
of $22,945,249 at December 31, 2002. We have continued to be dependent on the
support of Sun Pharmaceutical, but the financial support is reduced due to the
increased revenues and improved cash flows from internal operations. See "Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd." and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below.


         We received 6 Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") approvals
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and 1 ANDA approval during the
first quarter of 2003. See "Caraco's Products and Product Strategy" below. We
also filed 3 ANDAs with the FDA during the twelve months of 2002, bringing the
total pending approvals to 3.


         Our debt includes term loans totaling $17.5 million, of which $17.3
million has been drawn down from two foreign banks and our note payable to the
EDC, stands at approximately $7.6 million as at March 31, 2003. See "Property
and EDC Financing" below for a discussion of the restructuring of the EDC loan.


OVERVIEW OF THE GENERIC DRUG INDUSTRY

         Sales of generic drugs have increased in recent years because of a
number of factors including (i) modification of state laws to permit or require
substitution of generic drugs by pharmacists; (ii) enactment of ANDAs procedures
for obtaining FDA approval to manufacture generic prescription drugs; (iii)
changes in governmental and third-party payor health care reimbursement policies
to encourage cost containment; (iv) increased acceptance of generic drugs by
physicians, pharmacists and consumers; and (v) the increasing number




                                       27

of formerly patented drugs which have become available to generic competition.
Moreover, every year branded drugs with significant sales volumes come
off-patent.

CARACO'S PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT STRATEGY


         Our present product portfolio includes 14 prescription products in 24
strengths in 50 package sizes. The products and their use for the indications
are set forth in the table below:


                      GENERIC NAME                    PURPOSE

                      Clozapine                       Schizophrenia



         The FDA has directed the manufacturers and distributors of Guaifenesin
LA which, including us, consists of 66 companies, to cease manufacturing
Guaifenesin LA by May 23, 2003 and to cease all sales after November 2003. The
FDA has determined that Guaifenesin LA is a new drug which requires a new drug
application and approval before it may be manufactured and sold. We intend to
comply with the FDA's directive. We do not intend to file a new drug application
with the FDA with respect to Guaifenesin LA however, we are seeking
clarification from the FDA as to whether application to manufacture and sell
Guaifenesin LA may be made other than through a new drug application. Net sales
of Guaifenesin LA during the year ended December 31, 2002 and during the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 were $1.65 million and $0.36 million, respectively.


         We have submitted 13 ANDAs to the FDA for approval since August 1997,
including 3 filed during 2002. Of these 13 ANDAs, the FDA approved 3 during
2001, 6 during 2002 and one during the first quarter of 2003. Accordingly, we
have 3 pending ANDAs, most of which, we believe, may be approved by 2003
year-end. Of the 13 ANDAs, Sun Pharmaceutical has transferred the technology for
11 of them to us pursuant to its now expired products agreement. See "Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries Limited" below.

         Three of the ANDAs have not yet been marketed and are not included in
the above disclosure of our product portfolio. The products and their use for
the indications are set forth in the table below:





                      GENERIC NAME                                 PURPOSE

                      Ticlopidine Hydrochloride                    Cardiology
                      Meperidine Hydrochloride                     Analgesic
                      Digoxin                                      Cardiology




                                       28

These products, when launched, will increase our product portfolio to 17
prescription products in 29 strengths in 61 package sizes.


         Our strategy has been to analyze the marketplace and try to determine
opportunities depending on a particular product's potential market and the
number of competitors vying for that market.

























                                       29

HEXAL-PHARMA GMBH & CO., KG

         Pursuant to an agreement between us and Hexal-Pharma GmbH & Co., KG, a
German pharmaceutical company and its United States affiliate (together,
"Hexal") dated as of October 1, 1993, Hexal agreed to convey to us the
formulations, technology, manufacturing processes and know-how, and other
relevant information, and to pay for the bioequivalency studies required for the
preparation of ANDAs for each of two specified generic drugs (the "Products").
We agreed to pay Hexal royalties on the yearly sales of each Product. We filed
an ANDA in March 1995 with respect to Metoprolol Tartrate, received approval
from the FDA in December 1996 and introduced it in 1997. Metoprolol Tartrate is
one of our 14 current products. See "Caraco's Products and Product Strategy."
Hexal has decided not to proceed with the development of the second Product.


         Pursuant to the agreement, with respect to the Products Hexal was
granted, (i) a Sign-Up Option, effective on the date the agreement was signed,
to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at $3.50 per share; and (ii) a
Product Option, effective on the date the ANDA relating to the Product was filed
with the FDA, to purchase an indeterminate number of our shares at an exercise
price of $3.50 per share. These options may be exercised and payment for shares
may be made only out of royalties, and any interest earned on the royalties
while held by us, payable to Hexal for sales of the product. No options have yet
been exercised. Royalties payable to Hexal, which are included in accrued
expenses, amount to $801,144 at December 31, 2002.


         We have recently learned that the formula provided to us by Hexal with
respect to Metoprolol Tartrate may be different than the formula currently used
for manufacturing, and we are investigating further whether or not we should
continue to accrue royalties based on the formula differences. If we find that
the formula as provided by Hexal is indeed different from ours, we would cease
to accrue any royalties.


SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED

         Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, Sun Pharmaceutical had, as of
December 31, 1998, remitted a total of $7.5 million to us for the purchase of
5.3 million common shares.


         On October 15, 1998 Sun Pharmaceutical also made a loan to us of $5.3
million at an annual interest rate of 10%. This loan was amended to provide Sun
Pharmaceutical with a security interest subordinated to the loan of the EDC. The
loan is payable in full in October 2003. The rate of interest on the loan from
Sun Pharmaceutical has been reduced from 10% to 8% effective April 1, 2001. In
2001, Sun Pharmaceutical loaned us an additional $2.45 million at an interest
rate of 8%. During the first quarter of 2002, Sun Pharmaceutical loaned us an
additional $1.4 million at an interest rate of 8%. The $2.45 million and $1.4
million loans mature and are due and payable on August 31, 2006. During the
first quarter of 2003, Sun Pharmaceutical loaned us $500,000 at an interest rate
of 8.0% payable on demand. Prior to this, Sun Global, made a loan to us of
$650,000 at an annual interest rate of 10%. We have repaid $100,000 of this loan
during 2001 and $350,000 during the first quarter of 2003. The interest rate on
this loan has also been reduced by Sun Global from 10% to 8% effective April 1,
2001. The loan is payable in full in October 2003.



         Sun Pharmaceutical has assisted us in obtaining line of credit loans
from ICICI Bank Limited and The Bank of Nova Scotia in the amount of $5.0
million and $12.5 million, respectively. We have utilized, $5 million from ICICI
Bank Limited and $12.3 million from The Bank of Nova Scotia. The amounts

December 31, 2003 and ending September 30, 2005. The amounts borrowed under The
Bank of Nova Scotia credit facility must be repaid in four semi-annual
installments on February 4, 2004, August 24, 2004, February 24, 2005 and August
25, 2005. The loan may not be prepaid until August 24, 2003. Interest is at
LIBOR plus 140 basis points on the loan from ICICI Bank Limited and LIBOR plus
155 basis points on the loan from The Bank of Nova Scotia, and is payable at
one, two, three or six months periods at our option.


         In August 1997, we entered into an agreement (the "Products
Agreement"), whereby Sun Pharmaceutical was required to transfer to us the
technology formula for 25 generic pharmaceutical products over a period of five
years through August 2002. We exchanged 544,000 shares of our common stock for
each ANDA product, generally when a bio-equivalency study is successfully
completed and 181,333 shares for each DESI ("Drug Efficacy Study
Implementation") product. The products provided to us from Sun Pharmaceutical
were selected by mutual agreement. Under such agreement, which has expired, we
conducted, at our expense, all tests including bioequivalency studies. Also,
under such agreement, Sun Pharmaceutical delivered to us the formula for 13
products and Sun Pharmaceutical and its affiliates were issued 5,802,666 shares
of our common stock in exchange therefor. Sun Pharmaceutical currently
beneficially owns approximately 49% of our outstanding common stock.



         On November 21, 2002, we entered into a products agreement with Sun
Global. Under the agreement, which was approved by our independent directors,
Sun Global has agreed to provide us with 25 new generic drugs over a five year
period. Our rights to the products are limited to the United States and its
territories or possessions, including Puerto Rico. Sun Global retains rights to
the products in all other territories. Under such agreement, we conduct, at our
expense, all tests including bioequivalency studies. We are also obligated to
market the products consistent with our customary practices. and to provide
marketing personnel. In return for the technology transfer, Sun Global will
receive 544,000 shares of a newly created preferred stock for each generic drug
transferred when such drug has passed its bioequivalency study. To date, no
shares of preferred stock have been earned by or issued to Sun Global. The
preferred shares are non-voting, do not receive dividends and are convertible
into common shares after three years (or immediately upon a change in control)
on a one-to-one basis. The preferred shares have a liquidation preference equal
to the value attributed to them on the dates on which they were earned. While
such preferred shares are outstanding, we cannot, without the consent of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock amend or
repeal our articles of incorporation or bylaws if such action would adversely
affect the rights of the preferred stock. In addition, without such consent, we
cannot authorize the issuance of any capital stock having any preference or
priority superior to the preferred stock. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Future Outlook."



         Sun Pharmaceutical has established a Research and Development Center in
Mumbai with a staff of 30 persons, including PhDs, pharmacy graduates,
analytical chemists and regulatory professionals. Sun Pharmaceutical primarily
performs formulation and analytical development work for us at this laboratory.



         Sun Pharmaceutical also supplies us with certain active raw materials
and machinery and equipment to enhance our production capacities. In the year
ended December 31, 2002, we purchased approximately $2,422,000 in active raw
materials, and purchased and leased $310,000 and $33,960, respectively, in
machinery and equipment from Sun Pharmaceutical. Sun Pharmaceutical has also
provided us with qualified technical professionals. Twenty-one of our technical
professional employees were former Sun Pharmaceutical employees.


MARKETING

         Our marketing objective has been to create a distribution system by
which to obtain access to a wide range of purchasers of generic pharmaceutical
products. Internally, this requires at least a minimum sales force. See "Sales
and Customers" below. Externally, it requires forging relationships with
wholesaler buying groups, distributors and mail order companies, among others.
Management is aware that, despite any success in creating these distribution
links, sales volume will remain low until we can offer a broader range of
products needed by drug purchasers in significant amounts.




                                       31


         Drug wholesalers, with an estimated 75% of the drug market, comprise a
strategic link in the pharmacy distribution chain. They are used by drug
manufacturers because they are a cost effective means of reaching thousands of
drug purchasers and are used by most drug purchasers because they constitute a
reasonably local, stocking source for hundreds or thousands of products from
multiple manufacturers.

         Our product line is now represented by the following major top drug
wholesalers; McKesson Corporation, Amerisource - Bergen and Cardinal Health.
Caraco's products are now stocked by many other drug wholesalers, partly as a
result of our arrangements, discussed below, with buying groups.

         A large number of buying groups of retail pharmacists, hospitals,
nursing homes and other regional or functionally similar categories of drug
purchasers use their members' combined purchasing power to induce drug
manufacturers or other vendors to submit bid prices at which their members may
individually purchase products through designated wholesalers. As part of our
ongoing marketing efforts, we are pursuing arrangements with additional
wholesalers and expanding our sales network of buying groups.

         Further, as part of our ongoing marketing efforts, we are pursuing
arrangements to expand our business with our current distributors and a
mail-order company.

         Federal and state agencies purchase a large amount of generic
pharmaceutical products. All of our products are now listed for purchase at
prices bid by us in the Federal Supply Schedule, the Federal Bureau of Prisons
Prime Vendor Program, the Veterans Administration Prime Vendor Program, the
Department of Defense and by various state agencies.

SALES AND CUSTOMERS

         Presently, we have only a small in-house sales organization comprised
of 4 persons. In time as new products are added to the existing product line, we
plan to expand our customer sales effort through adding additional sales
personnel and/or contracting with an independent sales and marketing firm.


         Shipments to one wholesale customer, Amerisource Bergen, accounted for
approximately 65% and 35% of sales in 2002 and 2001, respectively. Balances due
from this customer represented approximately 80% and 40% of accounts receivable
at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As disclosed above under
"Marketing," certain of our customers purchase our products through designated
wholesale customers, such as Amerisource Bergen who act as an intermediary
distribution channel for our products. For example, the Veterans Administration,
which has entered into the sales contract discussed below, has selected
Amerisource Bergen as its designated wholesaler.



         We have entered into a sales contract with the Veterans Administration,
an agency of the U.S. government. Our agreement with this customer is for the
period of June 21, 2002 through June 20, 2003 ("base contract period"), with
four 1-year option periods and is for the purchase of one product, Metformin
Hydrochloride. The agreement may be terminated by the purchaser without cause
and in such case, we would only be entitled to a percentage of the contract
price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of
termination, plus reasonable charges that have resulted from the termination.
The agreement provides that approximately $13.0 million of product should be
shipped to the customer over the base contract period, and further provides that
certain penalties would be incurred if we are unable to meet our sales
commitment.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         The development of new prescription ANDA products, including
formulation, stability testing and the FDA approval process, averages from two
to five years. A drug is "bioequivalent" to a brand-name drug if the rate and
extent of absorption of the drug are not significantly different from those of
the brand-name drug.



                                       32


Although the Corporation performs its own stability testing, bioequivalence is
done through independent testing laboratories.

         An outline of research and development expenses incurred directly by
Caraco for 2002, 2001 and 2000 follows (000's):

         The 2002 research and development expenses shown above include the
non-cash cost of the products transferred by Sun Pharma to Caraco of $3,887,423
for 1,632,000 shares of our common stock. No technology transfer cost was
incurred in 2001.

         Information with respect to two research and development projects in
2002 are presented below:

REGULATION


         The research and development, manufacture and marketing of our products
are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and by other federal, state and
local entities, which regulate, among other things, research and development
activities and the testing, manufacture, labeling, storage, record keeping,
advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products.

         The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Public Health Services
Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations
govern or influence our business. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can
result in fines and other judicially imposed sanctions, including product
seizures, injunction actions and criminal prosecutions. In addition,
administrative remedies can involve voluntary recall of products, and the total
or partial suspension of products as well as the refusal of the government to
approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications. The FDA
also has the authority to withdraw approval of drugs in accordance with
statutory due process procedures.

         FDA approval is required before any dosage form of any new unapproved
drug, including a generic equivalent of a previously approved drug, can be
marketed. All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to
product formulation, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and
quality control. To obtain FDA approval for an unapproved new drug, a
prospective manufacturer must also demonstrate compliance with the FDA's current
good manufacturing practices ("cGMP") regulations as well as provide substantial
evidence of safety and efficacy of the drug product. Compliance with cGMPs is
required at all times during the manufacture and processing of drugs. Such
compliance requires a considerable amount of our time and resources in the areas
of production and quality control.

         There are generally two types of applications that would be used to
obtain FDA approval for pharmaceutical products:

        New Drug Application ("NDA"). Generally, the NDA procedure is required
        for drugs with active ingredients and/or with a dosage form, dosage
        strength or delivery system of an active ingredient not previously
        approved by the FDA. We do not expect to submit an NDA in the
        foreseeable future.

        Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA"). The Waxman-Hatch Act
        established a statutory procedure for submission of ANDAs to the FDA
        covering generic equivalents of previously approved brand-name drugs.
        Under the ANDA procedure, an applicant is not required to submit
        complete reports of preclinical and clinical studies of safety and
        efficacy, but instead is required to provide bioavailability data
        illustrating that the generic drug formulation is bioequivalent to a
        previously approved drug. Bioavailability measures the rate and extent
        of absorption of a drug's active ingredient and its availability at the
        site of drug action, typically measured through blood levels. A generic
        drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved drug if the rate and
        extent of absorption of the generic drug are not significantly different
        from that of the previously approved brand-name drug.

         The FDA may deny an ANDA if applicable regulatory criteria are not
satisfied. Product approvals may be withdrawn by the FDA if compliance with
regulatory standards is not maintained or if new evidence demonstrating that the
drug is unsafe or lacks efficacy for its intended uses becomes known after the
product reaches the market.




                                       36


         FDA policy and its stringent requirements have increased the time and
expense involved in obtaining ANDA approvals and in complying with FDA's cGMP
standards. The ANDA filing and approval process takes approximately 12 to 18
months. FDA approval is required before each dosage form of any new drug can be
marketed. Applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to
bioequivalency, product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability,
manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. FDA procedures
require full-scale manufacturing equipment to be used to produce test batches
for FDA approval. Validation of manufacturing processes by the FDA also is
required before a company can market new products. The FDA conducts pre-approval
and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to enforce these rules.
Supplemental filings are required for approval to transfer products from one
manufacturing site to another and may be under review for a year or more. In
addition, certain products may only be approved for transfer once new
bioequivalency studies are conducted.

         The Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992 establishes penalties for
wrongdoing in connection with the development or submission of an ANDA by
authorizing the FDA to permanently or temporarily bar companies or individuals
from submitting or assisting in the submission of an ANDA, and to temporarily
deny approval and suspend applications to market off-patent drugs. The FDA has
authority to withdraw approval of an ANDA under certain circumstances and to
seek civil penalties. The FDA can also significantly delay the approval of a
pending ANDA under certain circumstances and to seek civil penalties. The FDA
can also significantly delay the approval of a pending ANDA under its "Fraud,
Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities Policy."
Manufacturers of drugs must also comply with the FDA's cGMP standards or risk
sanctions such as the suspension of manufacturing or the seizure of drug
products and the FDA's refusal to approve additional ANDAs. The Drug Enforcement
Agency ("DEA") conducts inspections bi-annually.

         We underwent FDA inspections during March and April 2001 and in
November 2002 and on each occasion we were found to be in substantial compliance
with cGMPs. We did receive FDA 483s but we do not believe the observations are
material and we have taken appropriate remedial actions. Subsequent to the end
of 2002, we received approval for one of the then pending ANDAs. We now have 3
ANDAs pending approval

         Each domestic drug product manufacturing establishment must be
registered with the FDA. Establishments, like ours, handling controlled
substances must be licensed by the DEA. We are licensed by both the FDA and DEA.

         We are also subject to regulation under other federal, state and local
regulations regarding work place safety, environmental protection and hazardous
substance controls, among others. Specifically, we are licensed by the Michigan
Board of Pharmacy as a manufacturer and wholesaler of prescription drugs and as
a distributor of controlled substances. We are also licensed by the Michigan
Liquor Control Commission to use alcohol in the manufacture of drugs.

         We believe that we are in compliance with environmental laws.

SUPPLIERS AND MATERIALS


         The principal components used in our business are active and inactive
pharmaceutical ingredients and certain packaging materials. Some of these
components are available only from sole source suppliers, however, our primary
products from which the majority of our revenues are generated, have an
alternate source supplier for the active raw materials, Sun Pharmaceutical.
Development and approval of our pharmaceuticals are dependent upon our ability
to procure active ingredients and certain packaging materials from FDA approved
sources. Because the FDA approval process requires




                                       37


manufacturers to specify their proposed suppliers of active ingredients and
certain packaging materials in their applications, FDA approval of a new
supplier would be required if active ingredients or such packaging materials
were no longer available from the specified suppliers. We have been, and
continue to be, actively identifying and validating alternative suppliers for
our active ingredients. Our purchases of active materials are made from
manufacturers in the U.S. and from abroad, including Sun Pharmaceutical. See
"Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited." All purchases of active materials are
made in U.S. Dollars.


         Although to date no significant difficulty has been encountered in
obtaining components required for products and sources of supply are considered
adequate, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain
components as required.

COMPETITION

         The market for generic drugs is highly competitive. There is intense
competition in the generic drug industry in the United States, which is eroding
price and profit margins. We compete with numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers,
including both generic and brand-name manufacturers, many of which have been in
business for a longer period of time than us, have a greater number of products
in the market and have considerably greater financial, technical, research,
manufacturing, marketing and other resources. We believe that our primary
competitors are EON Labs, Inc., Ivax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mylan Laboratories,
Inc. and Taro Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.

         The principal competitive factor in the generic pharmaceutical market
is the ability to be the first company, or among the first companies, to
introduce a generic product after the related patent expires. Other competitive
factors include price, quality, methods of distribution, reputation, customer
service, including maintenance of inventories for timely delivery, and breadth
of product line. Approvals for new products may have a synergistic effect on a
company's entire product line since orders for new products are frequently
accompanied by, or bring about, orders for other products available from the
same source. We believe that price is a significant competitive factor,
particularly as the number of generic entrants with respect to a particular
product increases. As competition from other manufacturers intensifies, selling
prices typically decline. We hope to compete by selecting appropriate products,
based on therapeutic segments, market sizes and number of competitors
manufacturing the products, and by keeping our prices competitive and by
providing reliability in the timely delivery, and in the quality, of our
products.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, we had 128 and 76, respectively,
full-time employees who are engaged in research and development, quality
assurance, quality control, administration, sales and marketing, materials
management, facility management and manufacturing and packing. Most of our
scientific and engineering employees have had prior experience with
pharmaceutical or medical products companies, including Sun Pharmaceutical. See
"Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd." A union represents some of the employees of
materials management, facility management and manufacturing and packaging
departments.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

         We currently have in force general and product liability insurance,
with coverage limits of $10 million per incident and in the aggregate. Our
insurance policies provide coverage on a claim made basis and are subject to
annual renewal. Such insurance may not be available in the future on acceptable
terms or at all.



                                       38



There can be no assurance that the coverage limits of such policies will be
adequate to cover our liabilities, should they occur. There can be no assurance
that insurance would cover every product liability claim. See "Business -
Litigation" below.


PROPERTY AND EDC FINANCING


         Pursuant to Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, the EDC loaned us approximately $9.1 million in 1990 in accordance with a
Development and Loan Agreement dated August 10, 1990 (the "EDC Agreement").
These funds were used to pay the direct costs of acquiring land and constructing
thereon our pharmaceutical manufacturing facility and executive offices. See
"Current Status," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" and "Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements."



         The mortgage is a first priority mortgage lien against the property and
may not be subordinated to the lien on any other mortgage or encumbrance except
as otherwise provided in the EDC Agreement. In addition, we granted EDC a
continuing security interest in all of our assets, accounts, equipment, proceeds
thereof, ANDAs and in the products to be provided by Sun Pharmaceutical to us
under its then products agreement with us. See "Part I - Sun Pharmaceutical
Industries Ltd." above. In addition to other covenants, we agreed that our
capital expenditures would not exceed $2 million without the consent of the EDC
and that we will not redeem any of our outstanding shares, pay any dividends
with respect to our outstanding common or preferred shares or merge or
consolidate with any other corporation or other entity without the prior written
consent of the EDC.





                                       39



EDC Loan



         On April 23, 2003, the loan was restructured, effective as of January
1, 2003. The loan has been extended for six years, with interest rates starting
at 2.75% and increasing to 5.16%. Under the extension, the EDC retains a first
mortgage on our property, and a first lien on our furniture, fixtures equipment
and intellectual property. The EDC has removed its first lien on our accounts
receivable and inventory. Further, the EDC has eliminated the prior restriction
on capital investment in excess of $2 million by permitting us, so long as we
are not in default of any of our obligations, to purchase new capital and sell
the existing capital equipment so long as a result of such transactions, the
book value of our assets is not reduced below the balance as of December 31,
2002 and the proceeds of any such sales are retained by us.


THE FACILITY

         Our approximately 72,000 square foot facility, which was designed and
constructed to our specifications and completed in 1992, contains our
production, packaging, research and corporate office. It is on a four-acre site.
The manufacturing facility has a special building and systems design, with each
processing area equipped with independent zone and air handling units to provide
temperature and humidity control to each room. These air handling units are
designed to prevent product cross contamination through the use of pre-filter
and final HEPA filter banks. All processing air quarters are maintained in a
negative pressure mode using laminar airflow design. This system of airflow
provides a measurable control of air borne particulate entrapment in each room.
Environmental segregation of individual rooms within a particular zone is
accomplished by the use of duct HEPA filter booster fan units that facilitate
the isolation and confinement of room activities. These special dynamics provide
an added dimension and flexibility in product selection and processing
techniques. We believe the facility is suitable and adequate for our current and
near term future use. We also believe that our facility is adequately covered by
insurance.

LITIGATION

         Except for the following, we are not a party to any litigation, which,
individually or in the aggregate, is believed to be material to our business:

                  On February 12, 2003, C. Arnold Curry filed a complaint in the
                  Wayne County Circuit Court alleging breach of a written
                  employment agreement. Mr. Curry is seeking 175,000 shares of
                  our common stock (35,000 shares for each of the first five
                  ANDAs approved by the FDA). We intend to vigorously defend
                  ourselves against these claims which we believe have no merit.

                  We have been named as one of two defendants and as one of
                  several defendants in two separate product liability suits,
                  involving Miraphen which contains


                                       40


                  phenylpropanolame (PPA), one in federal court in Pennsylvania
                  and another in state court in New Jersey, respectively. These
                  lawsuits seek damages generally for personal injury as well as
                  punitive damages under a variety of liability theories
                  including strict products liability, breach of warranty and
                  negligence. The federal lawsuit does not set forth a specific
                  dollar amount of damages requested; the state lawsuit seeks
                  damages of $20 million. We are only in the initial stages of
                  discovery. Our product liability insurer has recently informed
                  us that we are not covered by insurance because the policy
                  does not apply to any claim relating to any product containing
                  PPA. Although the ultimate outcome of these cases and the
                  potential effect on us cannot be determined, we have retained
                  counsel and we believe we have substantial defenses to the
                  claims and we intend to vigorously defend the lawsuits.

         outstanding shares of our company;

     -   The shareholders of our company approve a merger or consolidation with
         any other corporation or entity, unless, following the merger, the

         a majority of the outstanding shares of the surviving entity
         immediately following the merger;

     -   Where shareholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of our
         company or an agreement for the sale of disposition by the company of

STOCK OPTION PLANS


         In April 1993, our Board of Directors adopted the 1993 Stock Option
Plan (the "1993 Plan"), which was approved by our shareholders in October 1993.
The 1993 Plan reserved an aggregate of 550,000 shares of common stock for awards
under the Plan. The Plan terminated on December 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2003,
incentive stock options to purchase an aggregate of 266,375 shares of common
stock were outstanding under the option plan, of which 213,100 were fully
vested. As of March 31, 2003, the outstanding options under the 1993 Plan were
held by an aggregate of 11 individuals and were exercisable at prices ranging
from $0.66 to $1.00 per share of common stock. None of the executive officers,
except for Messrs. Borkar and Kurkiewicz have been granted options under the
1993 Plan. Mr. Borkar has been granted 150,000 incentive stock options under the
1993 Plan at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. Mr. Kurkiewicz has been
granted 65,000 incentive stock options under the 1993 Plan, at an exercise price
of $0.94 per share. In May 2003, Mr. Kurkiewicz exercised all 65,000 of the
stock options and sold all 65,000 of the underlying shares.


1999 EQUITY PARTICIPATION PLAN

         The 1999 Equity Participation Plan (the "1999 Plan") was approved by
our Board of Directors on April 9, 1999, and approved by our shareholders on
June 2, 1999. The 1999 Plan provides for the grant of options and/or restricted
stock to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The options may be
either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The 1999 Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors which
determines the persons who are to receive awards, as well as the type, term and
number of shares subject to each award.


         An aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for
issuance under the 1999 Plan. As of March 31, 2003, 525,000 incentive options
and 18,000 non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of 543,000 shares of
common stock were outstanding under the 1999 Plan . As of March 31, 2003, 4,000
shares of restricted stock have been awarded under the 1999 Plan. As of March
31, 2003, 2,453,000 shares remain available for grant. As of December 31, 2002,
the outstanding options under the plan were held by an aggregate of 35
individuals and were exercisable at prices ranging from $0.68 to $1.25 per share
of common stock. No person shall receive a grant under the 1999 Plan in excess
of 200,000 shares during any calendar year. Executive officers have been granted
incentive stock options and or restricted stock under the 1999 Plan as follows:





                                       46


         Mr. Borkar: An incentive stock option dated June 1999 to purchase
200,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.15 per share and 100 shares of common
stock in December 1999;

         Mr. Doshi: An incentive stock option dated December 2001 to purchase
125,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share; and

         Mr. Kurkiewicz: An incentive stock option dated June 2001 to purchase
10,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.80 per share and 100 shares of
restricted stock in December 1999.

These options are exercisable annually, as to 20% of the shares issuable
thereunder, commencing one year after the date of grant.

         The option exercise price for each share covered by an option may be
less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant,
however, in the case of incentive stock options or in the case of a grant to the
Chief Executive Officer and the four other highest compensated executive
officers, the price shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of a
share of common stock at the time such option is granted. As noted, the term of
an option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, provided however,
that in the case of incentive stock options, the terms shall not be more than 10
years from the date the incentive stock option is granted.

         The Compensation Committee determines the purchase price and the other
terms and conditions applicable to any restricted stock awarded to a participant
in the 1999 Plan.

         See discussion above under "Change in Control Arrangements" with
respect to disclosure of the 1999 Plan's provisions causing options and
restricted stock granted under the plan to become fully exercisable in the event
of a change in control.

OTHER OPTIONS

         We have granted additional non-qualified stock options to Hexal at
$3.50 per share. See "Business - Hexal-Pharma GmbH & Co., KG."

         We have also granted additional non-qualified stock options to Jay F.
Joliat, a director of Caraco, to purchase 1,032,666 common shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $2.10 per share, and to certain of his family members,
to purchase 300,000 common shares at a weighted average exercise price of $2.43
per share, and to David A. Hagelstein, a director of Caraco, to purchase 580,158
common shares at a weighted average exercise price of $1.39 per share.
Generally, such options provide for anti-dilution adjustments in the event of
certain mergers, consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock
dividends or stock splits. Options were generally granted with approximately 10
year terms.

transactions between Caraco and several of the incumbent directors, executive
officers and security holders who beneficially hold in excess of five percent of
our outstanding shares:


         During 2002 we issued to Sun Global 1,632,000 shares of our common
stock in exchange for three ANDAs.



         During 2002 and 2001, we purchased approximately $2,422,000 and
$1,138,000, respectively, of our active raw materials from Sun Pharmaceutical.
Management believes that the terms and conditions of its agreements to purchase
such active raw materials are fair and comparable to those, which could have
been obtained from independent parties. We intend to continue to purchase active
raw materials from Sun Pharmaceutical in 2003.



         During 2002 and 2001, Caraco purchased approximately $310,000 and
$260,000, respectively, of equipment from Sun Pharmaceutical. Management
believes that the terms and conditions of its agreements to purchase such
equipment are fair and comparable to those which could have been obtained from
independent parties. We intend to continue to purchase equipment from Sun
Pharmaceutical in 2003.


         During the first quarter of 2002, Sun Pharmaceutical loaned us
$1,400,000 at an annual interest rate of 8%. During 2001, Sun Pharmaceutical
lent us $2,450,000. Sun Pharmaceutical reduced the rate of interest on such loan
from 10% to 8% per annum with an effective date of April 1, 2001. The loans are
due and payable in October 2006.


         On November 21, 2002, we entered into a products agreement with Sun
Global. In exchange for each new generic drug transferred to us by Sun Global
which passes a bioequivalency test, we shall issue Sun Global 544,000 shares of
newly created preferred stock. See "Business-Sun Pharmaceutical Industries
Limited."


         In December 2001, the Board extended the exercise date to December 31,
2005 with respect to options for 224,158 and 65,000 shares of Caraco common
stock previously granted to Messrs. Hagelstein and Joliat. The exercise prices
of such options are $1.50 and $3.50, respectively. Mr. Joliat, however has
declined such extension.


         On December 20, 2001, the Board of Directors granted to Jitendra N.
Doshi a qualified stock option for 125,000 shares of Caraco's common stock at an
exercise price of $1.25 per share. The options are exercisable at the rate of

until December 20, 2007.


         On June 4, 2001, the Board of Directors granted to Robert Kurkiewicz a
qualified stock option for 10,000 shares of Caraco's common stock at an exercise

shares of preferred stock have been earned by or issued to Sun Global. The
products agreement provides for the transfer by Sun Global to us of 25 products.
The preferred shares have a liquidation preference equal to the value attributed
to them on the dates on which they were earned. The preferred shares are
non-voting, do not receive dividends and are convertible into common shares
after three years (or immediately upon a change in control) on a one-to-one
basis. The number of common shares into which the Series B preferred stock is
convertible is to be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, such as
stock dividends. In connection with the issuances of Series B preferred stock
under the products agreement, we have agreed to amend the Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of preferred shares to 15 million and the
number of common shares to 50 million subject to approval of our shareholders.
The Series B preferred stock is not subject to redemption. So long as the Series
B preferred stock is outstanding, we cannot, without the consent of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock, amend or
repeal our articles of incorporation or bylaws if such action would adversely
affect the rights of the Series B preferred stock. In addition, without such
consent, we cannot authorize the issuance of any capital stock having any
preference or priority superior to the Series B preferred stock.



         Subject to the rights of the Series B preferred stock, our Board of
Directors is authorized to issue, subject to the restrictions stated above, one
or more additional series of preferred stock with such rights, privileges,
restrictions and conditions as our Board may determine. The preferred stock, if
issued, may be entitled to rank senior to our common stock with respect to the
payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of our company.

OPTIONS



         As of March 31, 2003, we had outstanding options to purchase an
aggregate of 2,916,199 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise
price of approximately $1.78 per share. Generally, all outstanding options
provide for anti-dilution adjustments in the event of certain mergers,
consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock dividends, stock
splits or other similar changes in our corporate structure and shares of our
capital stock. Options are typically granted with approximately 6 or 10 year
terms.


REGISTRATION RIGHTS


         The holders of the common stock purchased in our March through mid-May
private placement were informed by us that we intended to file a registration
statement to register under the Securities Act the resale of the shares of
common stock they purchased pursuant to such private placement. This prospectus
forms part of the registration statement which has been filed in connection
therewith.


                                       52



         Sun Pharmaceutical, in connection with its acquisition of 5.3 million
shares of our common stock in 1997, received certain registration rights under
the Securities Act. Generally, we are required to register Sun Pharmaceutical's
shares of our common stock upon written notice that Sun Pharmaceutical intends
to register shares having a fair market value of $500,000 or more. The expenses
of such registration for the first four registrations shall be borne by us. To
the extent that the expense of any subsequent registration, after the first
four, exceeds $50,000, the excess shall be borne by us. In addition, Sun
Pharmaceutical is entitled, at our expense, to cause the registration of its
shares of our common stock at any time that we register our common stock under
the Securities Act. Sun Pharmaceutical has not requested us to register its
shares in connection with this offering.


         Hexal also has been provided registration rights to cause us, at our
expense, to register two registrations with respect to shares issued to it upon
exercise of its options and to cause us to register such shares at any time that
we cause the registration of our shares under the Securities Act. At this time,
however, Hexal has not exercised any of its options.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS OF MICHIGAN LAW AND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION



         There are several provisions of our articles of incorporation that may
have the effect of deterring or discouraging hostile takeovers or delaying
changes in control or changes in management of our company. These include, among
others, (i) the requirement of a staggered Board of Directors, (ii) allowing the
Board of Directors, when evaluating any offer of another party with respect to a
tender or exchange offer for any voting capital stock of the company or to
effect a "business combination" as defined, see below, in Chapter 7A of the
Michigan Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), to consider the interest of our
shareholders, and the social, legal and economic effects upon employees,
suppliers, customers and others having similar relationships with the company,
and the communities in which the company conducts its business, and (iii)
requiring a super majority vote, 66 2/3rds, to adopt any provision inconsistent
with Chapter 7A or Chapter 7B of the Act, see below or to amend the staggered
board requirements. In addition, shareholders are not entitled to cumulative
voting in the election of directors. Our articles of incorporation also have
authorized undesignated preferred stock which could make it possible for our
Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights with
preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to effect a change of
control or a change in management of our company.



         We are subject to the Act. Chapter 7A of the Act applies to certain
"business combinations," defined to include a range or significant transactions
such as mergers, substantial sales of assets, securities issuances, liquidation,
and recapitalizations. In general, Chapter 7A requires, for any business
combination with an "interested shareholder,"generally a beneficial owner of
10% or more of a class of the voting capital stock: (i) an advisory statement
from the Board of Directors, (ii) the approval vote of holders at least 90% of
the outstanding shares of each class of voting capital stock, and (iii) the
approval vote of 66 2/3% of the holders of outstanding shares of each such
class, excluding those held by the interested shareholder, its "affiliates" and
"associates" as defined in Chapter 7A. These requirements do not apply, however,
where the interested shareholder satisfies certain "equal or similar" form of
consideration and procedural requirements specified in Chapter 7A, including a
requirement that the business combination not occur within five years of
attainment of interested shareholder status, or where our Board of Directors has
approved the transaction specifically, generally or generally by type prior to
the interested shareholder becoming an interested shareholder. Chapter 7A would
cease to apply to us if our articles of incorporation were amended to elect not
to be covered by the Chapter, but such an amendment would require the same votes
for approval as the Chapter requires for approval for a business combination
with an interested shareholder.


                                       53



         Generally, Chapter 7B of the Act would divest any control shares in an
"issuing public corporation" acquired in a "control share acquisition" of voting
rights unless and until approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon and by the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of such shares excluding all "interested
shares." In general, a "control share acquisition" is defined, subject to
certain exclusions, including an exclusion for a merger or consolidation to
which the company is a party, as any acquisition of issued and outstanding
"control shares." The term "interested shares" refers to shares owned or
controlled as to voting power by employee-directors of the company, certain of
its officers, the entity making or proposing to make the control share
acquisition or its affiliates. The phrase "control shares" means shares that,
when added to those already owned or controlled as to voting power by an entity,
would if not for Chapter 7B, give the entity voting power in the election of
directors of the company within any of three thresholds: one-fifth, one-third or
a majority. An "issuing public corporation" is defined to include a corporation
which has 100 or more shareholders of record, has its principal place of
business or substantial assets in Michigan and satisfies certain other
requirements. The company qualifies as an issuing public corporation. If a
control share acquisition is approved as required by Chapter 7B, special
dissenters' rights are accorded to company shareholders thereafter.


         The foregoing discussion of certain provisions of the Act is qualified
in its entirety by reference to those provisions. The area of state
anti-takeover law has been rapidly changing in recent years. For example,
certain state statutes have been contested on the basis of federal pre-emption
and other theories. Moreover, the anti-takeover laws do not completely insulate
corporations from hostile takeovers and do not change existing law concerning
directors' fiduciary duties to shareholders. Shareholders are therefore urged to
consult their respective legal counsel regarding applicable anti-takeover laws
and their effect on the company and its shareholders.

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND INDEMNIFICATION


         Our articles of incorporation limit our directors' liability for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

     -   For any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
         shareholders;

     -   For acts or omissions not in good faith or which  involve  intentional
         misconduct or a knowing  violation of law;

     -   For paying dividends or making other distributions in violation of the
         Act; or

     -   For any transaction from which the director derived an improper
         personal benefit.


         The articles of incorporation further provide that if the Act is
hereafter amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of a director,
then a director shall not be liable to the fullest extent then permitted by the
Act. These provisions generally do not limit liability under federal or state
securities laws.

         Michigan law, and our articles of incorporation, provide that we will,
in some situations, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party
to a proceeding by reason of that person's former or present official capacity
with our company against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable
expenses including reasonable attorney's fees. Any person is also entitled,
subject to some limitations, to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses
in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding.



                                       54


         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Caraco
pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, Caraco has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR


         The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company, located in New York.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003
and 2002 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The financial statements as of March 31, 2003 and for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002 should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The accounting policies followed by the Corporation with respect to the
unaudited interim financial statements are consistent with those stated in the
2002 Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd., Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Corporation will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Realization of a major portion of the assets is dependent upon the Corporation's
ability to meet its future financing requirements and the success of future
operations.

2.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. ("Caraco" or "the Corporation" which is
also referred to as we, us or our), engaged in the business of developing,
manufacturing and marketing generic drugs for the ethical (prescription) and
over-the-counter (non-prescription or "OTC") markets.

A generic drug is a pharmaceutical product, which is the chemical and
therapeutic equivalent of a brand-name drug as to which the patent and/or market
exclusivity has expired. Generics are well accepted for substitution of brand
products as they sell at a discount to the branded product's price and for their
equivalence in quality and bioavailability.

Our present product portfolio includes 13 products in 22 strengths in 46 package
sizes. We are currently marketing all 13 products. The products are intended to
treat a variety of disorders including the following: hypertension, arthritis,
seizures, epilepsy, diabetes and pain management. We have recently started
shipments of 1 additional product in 2 strengths and 4 pack sizes. This brings
our formulary of products to 14 products in 24 strengths and 50 pack sizes.

To date, we have submitted 14 ANDAs to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").
Of these, we have received approvals for 11 ANDAs, one of which was received
during the first quarter; we have 3 ANDAs pending approval. We also have 5 DESI
products.

A significant source of our funding has been from private placement offerings
and loans. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Limited, a specialty pharmaceutical
corporation organized under the laws of India ("Sun Pharma"), which owns 49% of
our outstanding shares has contributed equity capital and has advanced us loans.
Also, pursuant to a products agreement with us, Sun Pharma has transferred
certain products to us. (See "Current Status of the Corporation" and "Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd." below.) Our manufacturing facility and
executive offices were constructed pursuant to a $9.1 million loan from the
Economic Development Corporation of the City of Detroit (the "EDC"). (See
"Current Status of the Corporation" and "Mortgage Note" below.)



                                      F-6


3.       CURRENT STATUS OF THE CORPORATION

For the first time since inception, during the last three quarters of 2002 and
the first quarter of 2003, we achieved sales necessary to support our
operations. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were $8.7
million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
We have earned an operating gross profit of $4,495,651 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to $1,454,412 during the same period in 2002.
We earned an operating profit income of $2,645,936 during the period of March
31, 2003 as compared to incurring operating losses of $151,116 during the same
period in 2002. After interest costs, we have earned a net profit income of
$2,204,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to a net loss
of $519,243 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. At March 31, 2003, we had
a stockholders' deficit of $17,481,541 as compared to a deficit of $22,812,242
at March 31, 2002. We have continued to be dependent on the support of Sun
Pharma, however, but the financial support is reduced due to the increased
revenues and higher cash flows from internal operations since the second quarter
of 2002. See "Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd." and "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We
received one ANDA approval during the first quarter of 2003. See "Caraco's
Products and Product Strategy" below. We have 3 products pending approval with
the FDA.

4.       COMPUTATION OF LOSS PER SHARE

Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during each period and considers a dual presentation and
reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share amounts. Diluted reflects the
potential dilution of all common stock equivalents.


The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period ended March 31, 2003 were 23,762,532 and 25,061,469, respectively.
The basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for
the period ending March 31, 2002 were 21,242,874 and 21,172,618 respectively.


5.       MORTGAGE NOTE

EDC Loan


Debt at March 31, 2003 includes approximately $7.3 million payable to the
Economic Development Corporation of the City of Detroit ("EDC") related to funds
advanced to the Corporation pursuant to a Development and Loan Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated August 10, 1990 as amended. The note was collateralized by a
first mortgage, effectively, on all of the Corporation's property and equipment
purchased pursuant to the Agreement. The loan was restructured on April 23,
2003, with the terms of the restructured loan effective as of January 1, 2003.
The loan has been extended for six years, with interest rates starting at 2.75%
and increasing to 5.16%. Under the extension, the EDC retains a first mortgage
on our property, and a first lien on our furniture, fixtures equipment and
intellectual property. The EDC has removed its first lien on our accounts
receivable and inventory. Further, the EDC has eliminated the prior restriction
on capital investment in excess of $2 million by permitting us, so long as we
are not in default of any of our obligations, to purchase new capital and sell
the existing capital equipment so long as a result of such transactions, the
book value of our assets is not reduced below the balance as of December 31,
2002 and the proceeds of any such sales are retained by the Company. The
obligations of the Corporation to the EDC have been classified in accordance
with the terms of the restructured loan.


6.       SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED

Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, Sun Pharma had, as of December 31, 1998,
remitted a total of $7.5 million to us for the purchase of 5.3 million common
shares.

Notes payable to principal stockholders                              $9,850,000
                                                                     ==========


Notes payable to Sun Pharma and Sun Pharma Global, Inc. are subordinated to the
EDC loan. Furthermore, the Sun Pharma and Sun Global loans due to mature in
October of 2003 are classified as current.

In August 1997, we entered into an agreement, whereby Sun Pharma was required to
transfer to us the technology formula for 25 generic pharmaceutical products
over a period of five years through August 2002. The agreement has expired. We
exchanged 544,000 shares of our common stock for each technology transfer of an
ANDA product (when a bio-equivalency study was successfully completed) and
181,333 shares for each technology transfer of a DESI (Drug Efficacy Study
Implementation) product. The products provided to us from Sun Pharma were
selected by mutual agreement. As of March 31, 2003, Sun Pharma delivered to us
the technology for 13 products. A total of 5,802,666 shares were issued to Sun
Pharma and its affiliates in exchange for the technology transfer under the old
and now expired agreement.

We entered into a new product agreement with Sun Global for the transfer of the
technology formula for 25 generic products over a period of 5 years in November
2002 replacing the previous product agreement with Sun Pharma. Sun Global
receives 544,000 shares of preferred stock (convertible into common stock after
three years) for each ANDA product transferred. The value of the shares issued
to Sun Global for the transfer of the products shall be included in research and
development expenses. Depending on the number of products transferred and the
market value of the shares attributable thereto, the issuance of preferred stock
to Sun Global could cause our research and development expenses to increase to
an amount which would significantly decrease profit or create a loss. Preferred
shares can be earned by Sun Global even if the product is not successfully
produced and marketed.

In connection with the technology transfer, Sun Pharma has established a
Research and Development Center in Mumbai with a staff of 30 persons, including
PhDs, pharmacy graduates, analytical chemists and regulatory professionals. Sun
Pharma primarily performs formulation and analytical development for us at this
laboratory.

Sun Pharma supplies us with certain raw materials and also the machinery and
equipment to increase productivity and production. Sun has also provided us with
qualified technical professionals. Twenty-one of our technical professional
employees were former Sun Pharma employees.

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

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 financial position of Caraco Pharmaceutical

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Organization and Nature of Business

         Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. ("Caraco" or the
         "Corporation") was established in Detroit, Michigan to develop,
         manufacture and market generic and private label prescription and
         over-the-counter pharmaceuticals in the United States. The process of
         developing a line of proprietary drugs requires approvals by the Food
         and Drug Administration (FDA) of Abbreviated New Drug Applications
         (ANDA). The Corporation's present product portfolio consists of a
         limited number of products in certain strengths and package sizes. The
         Corporation's drugs relate to a variety of therapeutic segments
         including the central nervous system, cardiology, pain management and
         diabetes.

         Over the years, significant sources of funding for the Corporation have
         been received from private placement offerings, stockholder and
         financial institution loans and debt financing from the Economic
         Development Corporation of the City of Detroit (the "EDC"), which
         loaned approximately $9.1 million to the Corporation in accordance with
         a Development and Loan Agreement dated August 10, 1990 (see Note 5).
         During 2002 and 2001, the Corporation also obtained term loans
         providing total credit facilities of $17.5 million from two foreign
         banks.

         The Corporation and a Mumbai, India based specialty pharmaceutical
         manufacturing company, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd. ("Sun
         Pharma") completed an agreement, in 1997, whereby Sun Pharma invested
         $7,500,000 into the common stock of the Corporation, and was required
         to transfer to the Corporation the technology formula for 25 generic
         pharmaceutical products over a period of five years through August 2002
         in exchange for 544,000 shares of Caraco common stock to be issued for
         each ANDA product and 181,333 shares for each DESI (Drug Efficacy Study
         Implementation) product. As of December 31, 2002, Sun Pharma has
         delivered to Caraco the formula for 13 products and beneficially owns
         approximately 49% of the outstanding common stock of the Corporation.
         In November 2002, a subsidiary of Sun Pharma agreed to transfer to the
         Corporation a technology formula for 25 generic pharmaceutical products
         over a period of five years through November 2007 in exchange for
         544,000 shares of a new convertible preferred stock for each formula
         received (Note 7). In addition to Sun Pharma's equity holdings, the
         product and technology transfers which include various research and
         development activities conducted on an ongoing basis by Sun Pharma,
         loans made directly to and loans guaranteed on behalf of Caraco (see
         Note 5), Sun Pharma has also supplied Caraco with certain raw materials
         and equipment (see Note 4) and transferred to Detroit a number of
         qualified technical and management professionals having pharmaceutical
         experience. Furthermore, five of the eight Caraco directors are or were
         affiliated with Sun Pharma. Caraco is substantially dependent on the
         active involvement and support of Sun Pharma.



                                      F-18


                     CARACO PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORIES LTD
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         In addition to its substantial dependence on Sun Pharma, the
         Corporation is subject to certain risks associated with companies in
         the generic pharmaceutical industry. Profitable operations are
         dependent on the Corporation's ability to market its products at
         reasonable profit margins. In addition to achieving profitable
         operations, the future success of the Corporation will depend, in part,
         on its continuing ability to attract and retain key employees, obtain
         timely approvals of its ANDAs, develop new products and continue to
         raise in the near term the necessary funds to keep the Corporation in
         business.

         Operations

         For the first time since inception, during the second, third and fourth
         quarters of 2002, the Corporation has achieved sales necessary to
         support operations. During 2002, the Corporation's results did improve
         such that its loss from operations decreased from approximately
         $4,000,000 in 2001 to approximately $730,000 in 2002. The Corporation's
         net loss also decreased from approximately $5,750,000 in 2001 to
         approximately $2,250,000 in 2002. The net loss in 2002 includes
         approximately $3.9 million of research and development costs related to
         technology transfers from Sun Pharma Global in exchange for common
         stock of Caraco. There were no such technology transfers in 2001. In
         addition, cash used by operations decreased from approximately
         $7,100,000 in 2001 to approximately $840,000 in 2002. While management
         views these results as positive developments, the Corporation must
         still overcome its stockholders' deficit, which is $19,623,290 as of
         December 31, 2002. Realization of a major portion of its assets is thus
         dependent upon the Corporation's ability to meet its future financing
         requirements and the success of future operations. Management believes
         that continued improvement in profitability and cash flow, along with
         sustained financial and operating support from Sun Pharma, are key
         factors in the Corporation's ability to continue to operate in the
         normal course of business. While management has a basis to reasonably
         believe that Sun Pharma's substantial investment in Caraco provides Sun
         Pharma with sufficient economic incentive to continue to assist Caraco
         in developing its business, and Sun Pharma has expressed its intent to
         continue to support Caraco's operations in the near term, as it has
         done in the past, there can be no assurance that such support will, in
         fact, continue for a period of time sufficient to ensure Caraco's
         ultimate business success. For example, Sun Pharma, which is subject to
         the prevailing regulatory process in India, may be constrained from
         fully pursuing its business interest outside of India. The accompanying
         financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
         recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the
         amount of liabilities that might be necessary should the Corporation be
         unable to continue operating in the normal course of business.

         Management's plans with regard to improving profitability, cash flows
         and operations include infusion of additional funding from new
         investors pursuant to equity offerings planned to be carried out during
         the first half of 2003. Management's plans also include for 2003:

         -        Continued focus on FDA compliance.

         -        Continued research and development activities.

         -        Increased market share for certain existing products and
                  recently introduced new products and enhance customer reach
                  and satisfaction.

         -        Prompt introduction of newly approved products to the market.

         -        Striving to capture larger market share for existing products.

         -        Achieving operational efficiencies by attaining economies of
                  scale, cost reduction per unit, and obtaining additional cost
                  reductions for active raw materials acquired from competitors
                  and/or Sun Pharma.

         -        Increase the width and depth of product portfolio to serve the
                  customers effectively.

         -        Increase the number of products, as well as anticipated volume
                  increases for existing products which, in turn, will improve
                  manufacturing capacity utilization.

         -        Considering alternative ways of increasing cash flow including
                  developing, manufacturing and marketing ANDAs owned by Sun
                  Pharma.

         -        Prompt restructuring of the EDC loan.

         -        Locating and utilizing facilities of contract-manufacturers to
                  enhance production and therefore sales.

         Use of Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not
         limited to, valuation allowances for accounts receivable and the
         recoverability of the Corporation's property, plant and equipment.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents

         The Corporation considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
         with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
         equivalents. The Corporation from time to time may have cash balances
         which exceed federally insured limits.

         Revenue Recognition

         The Corporation recognizes revenue at the time its products are shipped
         to its customers as, at that time, the risk of loss or physical damage
         to the product passes to the customer, and the obligations of customers
         to pay for the products are not dependent on the resale of the product
         or the Corporation's assistance in such resale. Customers are permitted
         to return unused product in, certain instances, after

         approval from the Corporation upon the expiration date of the product's
         lot. Amounts billed by the Corporation, if any, in advance of
         performance with contracts to render certain manufacturing or research
         and development services are deferred and then recognized upon
         performance of those services.

         Provisions for estimated returns, discounts, rebates and other price
         adjustments including chargebacks can be reasonably determined in the
         normal course of business based on historical results. A significant
         portion of the current allowance has been reserved for expected
         chargebacks. Chargebacks are price adjustments given to wholesale
         customers for product it resells to parties with whom the Corporation
         has established contractual pricing. The chargeback represents the
         difference between the sales price to the wholesaler and the contracted
         price. Approximately 96% of the current allowance for trade receivables
         has been reserved for estimated chargebacks.

         Accounts Receivable

         Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to
         collect from outstanding balances. The Corporation provides for
         probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a
         credit to a valuation allowance based on management's assessment of the
         current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still
         outstanding after the Corporation has attempted reasonable collection
         efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and
         a credit to trade accounts receivable.

         Inventories

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the first in,
         first-out method, or market.

         Loss Per Share

         Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
         shares outstanding during each year and considers a dual presentation
         and reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share amounts. Diluted
         reflects the potential dilution of all common stock equivalents.

         At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, options to purchase 310,000,
         2,705,199 and 2,486,155 shares, respectively, were excluded from the
         computation of loss per share because the options' exercise prices were
         greater than the average market price of the common shares.

         The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted
         loss per common share.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

         Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the
         estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 40
         years. Management annually reviews these assets for impairment and
         reasonably believes the carrying value of these assets will be
         recovered through cash flow from operations, assuming the Corporation
         is successful in continuing to operate in the normal course of
         business.

         Federal Income Taxes

         Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
         difference between the financial statement and federal income tax basis
         of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which
         will be in effect when these differences reverse. The principal
         difference between assets and liabilities for financial statement and
         federal income tax return purposes is attributable to differing
         depreciation methods and net operating losses.

         Research and Development Costs

         Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

         Fair Values of Financial Instruments

         The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and
         accounts payable approximate their values due to the short-term
         maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts of
         short-term borrowings, notes payable to stockholders, and loans payable
         approximate their fair values because the interest rates are
         representative of, or change with, market rates.

         The Corporation does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair
         value of its note payable to the Economic Development Corporation of
         the City of Detroit. Management does not believe that comparable
         financing would currently be available on similar terms.

         Common Stock Issued to Directors

         Common stock is issued from time to time in lieu of cash for directors
         fees, and is recorded as compensation expense at the fair value of such
         shares on the date they were earned.

         Common Stock Issued to Sun Pharma

         Common stock is issued from time to time to Sun Pharma in exchange for
         the formula for products delivered by Sun Pharma to the Corporation.
         Research and development costs are recorded based on the fair value of
         the shares on the date the respective product formula has passed its
         bioequivalency study.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 2001, the FASB also issued Statement No. 142 "Goodwill and
         Other Intangible Assets" which is effective generally beginning January
         1, 2002. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets
         with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized but, instead,
         tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
         provisions of Statement 142. The Company has no goodwill and,
         accordingly, adoption of the new standard will not impact the Company's
         financial statements.

         In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset
         Retirement Obligations." Statement 143 requires entities to record the
         fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the
         period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially
         recorded, the entity capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying
         amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is
         accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is
         depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset. Upon
         settlement of the liability, the entity either settles the obligation
         for the amount recorded or incurs a gain or loss. Statement 143 is
         effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Adoption of
         this statement is not expected to impact the Company's results of
         operations or financial position.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144 "Accounting for the
         Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," effective prospectively
         for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Statement 144
         supersedes Statement No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the
         accounting and reporting provisions of APB No. 30 "Reporting the
         Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment
         of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
         Events and Transactions ("Opinion 30") for the disposal of a segment of
         business (as previously defined under Opinion 30). The FASB issued
         Statement No. 144 to establish a single accounting model for long-lived
         assets to be disposed of by sale. Statement 144 broadens the
         presentation of discontinued operations in the income statement to
         include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business).
         A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can
         be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting
         purposes, from the rest of an entity. Statement 144 also requires that
         discontinued operations be measured at the lower of the carrying amount
         or fair value less cost to sell, rather than net realizable

         value. The Company does not believe Statement No. 144 will have a
         material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

         In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148, "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of
         Statement No. 123", which is effective for years beginning after
         December 15, 2002. This statement amends Statement No. 123, "Accounting
         for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of
         transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
         accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this
         statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to
         require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial
         statements about the method of accounting for stock based employee
         compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The
         Company does not currently plan to voluntarily adopt this statement and
         accordingly, the provisions will not have a material impact on its
         financial position or results of operations.

         Inventories consist of the following amounts as of December 31:

         The principal components used in the Corporation's business are active
         and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients and certain packaging
         materials. Many of these components are available only from sole source
         suppliers, most of whom must be FDA approved. Qualification of a new
         supplier could serve to delay the manufacture of the drug involved.

         During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Corporation purchased approximately
         $2,422,000, $1,138,000 and $707,000, respectively, of its raw materials
         from Sun Pharma.

         The Corporation also purchased approximately $-0- and $148,785 of raw
         materials from an entity owned by a shareholder during 2002 and 2001,
         respectively.

5.       DEBT (INCLUDING RELATED PARTIES)

EDC Loan

         Debt at December 31, 2002 includes a note payable to the Economic
         Development Corporation (EDC) of the City of Detroit, plus accrued
         interest thereon, related to funds advanced to the Corporation pursuant
         to a Development and Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") dated August 10,
         1990, as amended. The note is collateralized by a first mortgage,
         effectively, on all of the Corporation's property and equipment
         purchased pursuant to the Agreement.

         Effective April 2, 1993, and subsequently on August 5, 1997, the
         Corporation and the EDC of the City of Detroit restructured the
         Agreement discussed above. The amendment included the deferral of


                                      F-25



                     CARACO PHARMACEUTICAL LABORATORIES LTD
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         scheduled principal and interest payments until February 1, 1999, at
         which time additional deferred principal and interest due under the
         terms of the original agreement were required in amounts sufficient to
         amortize the total deferred amount through July 2002. Additionally the
         amendment included a reduction in the stipulated interest rate from the
         inception of the loan through 1993 from 10% to 8.5%. The interest rates
         from 1994 through July 2002 vary from 5% to 6.4%, as described in the
         amendments (effective rate of 6.31% at December 31, 2001).

         As a condition of the deferral, the EDC was provided additional
         security on all the Corporation's existing equipment and the
         Corporation agreed to comply with several additional financial and
         operating covenants which include, limiting capital expenditures made
         without the consent of the EDC to under $2,000,000 during the deferral
         period, and abstaining from share redemption during the payment
         deferral period.

         During both 2002 and 2001, the Corporation made payments of $1,200,000.
         Such payments have not brought the Corporation current in its
         obligations to the EDC, and such payments were made without prejudice
         to the rights of the EDC to exercise all remedies available to the EDC
         for failure to make the scheduled payments. While the terms of the
         restructured loan are being negotiated, the Corporation intends to
         continue to make payments to the EDC, again without prejudice to the
         rights of the EDC. Upon a final agreement of the restructured terms of
         the loan the Corporation expects to then commence making the requisite
         agreed upon payments, which management believes has been agreed upon in
         principle.

         The Corporation had submitted a proposal in April 2002 to the EDC to
         restructure the loan. Based on resolutions passed at meetings of the
         Board of Directors of the EDC on September 25, 2002 and March 19, 2003,
         the EDC approved a six year extension of the loan of approximately $7.8
         million, with interest rates starting at 2.75% and increasing to 5.16%
         over the term of the extension. The extension would be effective
         January 1, 2003. Pursuant to the resolution, the EDC would retain a
         first mortgage on the property, and a first lien on furniture, fixtures
         and equipment and intellectual property. The EDC resolution will not
         become effective until a definitive agreement incorporating the above
         terms has been agreed to by the parties. Subsequent to the close of the
         year, the Corporation has received drafts of the agreement from the
         EDC, which is pending final approval. Management believes that the
         Corporation has the intent and the ability to finalize this agreement
         and, accordingly, the EDC debt has been classified on the accompanying
         December 31, 2002 balance sheet according to the payment terms approved
         by the resolution.

6.       INCOME TAXES

         At December 31, 2002 and 2001 a deferred income tax asset and related
         valuation allowance, attributable primarily to the net operating loss
         carryforwards (calculated using a 34% tax rate) of approximately
         $18,100,000 and $17,300,000, respectively, has been established.
         Changes in the valuation allowance were approximately $770,000,
         $1,930,000 and $1,900,000 in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively

         At December 31, 2002, net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
         $53,000,000 are available to offset future federal taxable income.
         Certain of the net operating losses begin to expire in 2007. The
         Corporation's ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards
         may be limited due to ownership changes.

         During 2002 and 2000, the Corporation issued 1,632,000 and 1,105,333
         shares of common stock, respectively, to an affiliate of Sun Pharma in
         exchange for the formula for three and two ANDA products delivered to
         Caraco in 2002 and 2000, respectively. The issuance of such shares have
         been recorded as research and development expense, based on the fair
         value of the respective shares on the date earned, which totaled
         $3,887,423 and $401,472 in 2002 and 2000, respectively. These shares
         have also been included in the calculation of the weighted average
         number of common shares outstanding in the year the respective formula
         was delivered.

         During 2002, 285,714 shares of preferred stock were converted into
         285,714 shares of common stock. The Corporation recorded additional
         paid-in capital of $287,888 for the differences between the fair value
         of the common stock on the conversion date and the per share value of
         the preferred stock.

         During 2002, the Corporation issued 635,000 shares of common stock in
         connection with a private placement offering resulting in net proceeds
         of $1,692,000 or approximately $2.66 per share.

         During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Corporation issued 36,000, 1,200 and
         86,000 shares, respectively, of common stock to non-employee directors
         in exchange for services rendered. The Corporation recorded
         compensation expense of $41,400 and $450 in 2002 and 2001,
         respectively, and recorded interest expense of $86,000 in 2000 based on
         the fair values of such shares on the dates they were earned.

         Common Stock

         During 2002, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved the
         authorization of an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock, which
         would be formally authorized upon the approval by the shareholders of
         the Corporation.

         During 2000, the Corporation issued 34,990 shares to an investor
         relations firm in exchange for services rendered. The Corporation
         recorded compensation expense of $17,496 based on the fair value of
         such shares on their issuance dates.

         Preferred Stock

         The Corporation has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock
         which are issuable in series with the terms and amounts set at the
         Board of Directors discretion. During 2002, the Corporation's Board of
         Directors authorized an additional 10,000,000 shares of preferred
         stock, which would be formally authorized upon the approval of the
         shareholders of the Corporation.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is nonvoting and was
         convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of common
         stock. The preferred shares required annual dividends of $0.21 per
         share on a cumulative basis. Accrued dividends on preferred stock at
         December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $350,380 and $300,000, respectively. It
         is expected that such dividends will be paid in 2003 and, accordingly,
         the related liability is classified as a current obligation on the
         accompanying balance sheet.

         In November 2002, in connection with the technology transfer agreement
         with a subsidiary of Sun Pharma (Note 1), the Corporation created a new
         series of preferred stock designated as the Series B Convertible
         Preferred Stock, consisting of 13,600,000 shares of no par
         nonredeemable preferred stock. The Series B Preferred Stock, which has
         no voting or dividend rights or liquidation preference other than
         priority liquidation based on their face value, can be converted after
         3 years from the issuance date into one share of common stock, subject
         to a conversion adjustment in the event common stock equivalents are
         issued by the Corporation in certain circumstances. Formal
         authorization of these shares is pending final shareholder approval.

8.       COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

         Stock Option Plans

         The Corporation maintains the 1999 Equity Participation Plan and the
         1993 Stock Option Plan in which the Corporation may grant options to
         employees and non-employee-directors and consultants for the purchase
         of up to 3,550,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of
         options granted may not be less than the fair value of the common stock
         on the date of grant. Options granted under this plan vest in annual
         installments, from the date of grant, over a five year period, and
         expire within six years from the date of the grant. Activity with
         respect to these options is summarized as follows:

   *Weighted average


         The Corporation follows the disclosure aspects of Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
         Stock-Based Compensation". The Corporation continues to apply
         Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its
         plans and accordingly, because the exercise price does not exceed the
         fair value on the date of grant, no compensation cost has been
         recognized in the financial statements for its outstanding stock
         options. Had stock compensation expense been determined pursuant to the
         methodology provided in SFAS No. 123, using the Black-Scholes option
         pricing model, the following weighted average assumptions for grants in
         2001 would have been employed: expected volatility of 104%, risk free
         interest rate of 1.7% and expected lives of 6 years. The proforma
         effect on operations would have been an increase in the 2001 net loss
         of approximately $265,000 or $0.01 per common share. The weighted
         average fair value of the options granted in 2001 was $0.77 per share.
         No options were granted during 2002 and 2000.

         In December 2001, the Board of Directors extended the exercise date to
         December 31, 2005 with respect to options for 224,158 shares of Caraco
         common stock previously granted to an independent director. The
         modification has resulted in the options being treated as variable
         rather than fixed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
         Board Interpretation 44 (FIN 44). Variable compensation expense of
         $262,265 has been recorded during 2002 for the difference between the
         fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of the
         respective options. No corresponding compensation expense was
         appropriate in 2001.

         Strategic Alliance Stock Option Arrangement

         Pursuant to an agreement between the Corporation and Hexal-Pharma BmbH
         & Co., KG, a German pharmaceutical company and its United States
         affiliate (together, "Hexal") dated October 1, 1993, Hexal agreed to
         convey to the Corporation the formulations, technology, manufacturing
         processes and know-how, and other relevant information, and to pay for
         the bioequivalency studies required for the preparation of ANDAs for
         each of two specified generic drugs (the "Product"). The Corporation
         agreed to pay Hexal royalties on the yearly sales of each Product (see
         below). The Corporation filed an ANDA in March 1995 with respect to
         Metoprolol Tartrate, received approval from the FDA in December 1996
         and introduced it in 1997. (Metoprolol Tartrate is one of our 13
         current products. See "Caraco's

         Products and Product Strategy".) Hexal has decided not to proceed with
         the development of the second Product.

         Pursuant to the agreement, the Corporation has, for each Product (i) a
         Sign-Up Option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.50 per
         share; and (ii) a Product Option to purchase shares at an exercise
         price of $3.50 per share. These options may be exercised and payment
         for shares may be made only out of royalties, and any interest earned
         on the royalties while held by the Corporation payable to Hexal for
         sales of the related product. No options have yet been exercised.
         Royalties payable to Hexal, which are included in accrued expenses,
         amount to $801,144 and $296,715 at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
         respectively. The Corporation has recently learned that the formula
         provided to them by Hexal, with respect to Metoprolol Tartrate, may be
         different than the formula currently used for manufacturing by the
         Corporation. The Corporation is investigating further whether they
         should continue to accrue the related royalties based on these formula
         differences.

9.       LEASES

         The Corporation entered into two noncancelable operating leases during
         2000 with Sun Pharma, to lease production machinery. The leases each
         require quarterly rental payments of $4,245 and expire during 2005.

         The Corporation entered into a noncancelable operating lease with an
         unrelated party during 2002 to lease an additional warehouse. The lease
         requires monthly payments of $8,750 and expires in November 2005.

         Net rental expense on these operating leases was $51,460, $33,960 and
         $21,225 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
         respectively.

         The following is a schedule of annual future minimum lease payments
         required under the operating leases with remaining noncancelable lease
         terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2002:

2005                                                     108,985
                                                   -------------

                                                   =============


         The Corporation additionally paid Sun Pharma approximately $310,000,
         $260,000 and $33,500 during 2002, 2001  and 2000, respectively, for the
         purchase of various parts needed to operate production machinery.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.      RETIREMENT PLAN

         The Corporation established in 2001 a deferred compensation plan
         qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this
         plan, eligible employees are permitted to contribute up to the maximum
         allowable amount determined by the Internal Revenue Code. The
         Corporation may make discretionary matching and profit sharing
         contributions under the provisions of the Plan. No discretionary
         contributions were made by the Corporation during 2002 or 2001.


11.      SALES AND CUSTOMERS

         Major Customer

         Shipments to one wholesale customer accounted for approximately 65%,
         35% and 17% of net sales in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Balances
         due from this customer represented approximately 80%, 40% and 9% of
         accounts receivable for each of the three periods ended December 31,
         respectively.

         The loss of this customer could have a negative effect on short-term
         operating results.


         Sales Commitment


         The Corporation entered into an agreement with an unrelated party
         effective August 5, 2002 to ship approximately $13,000,000 of product
         to the customer per year over a one year base contract period. The
         agreement provides for certain penalty provisions if the Corporation is
         unable to meet its sales commitment and additionally provides for four
         one year option periods.


         Other


         Net sales in 2002 and 2001 included approximately $850,000 and
         $250,000, respectively, related to contracted manufacturing activities.
         No contract manufacturing activities occurred during 2000.

12.      OTHER MATTERS

         Employment Contracts

         The Corporation has employment agreements with three of its executive
         officers which provide for fixed annual salaries and a six month
         continuance including insurance benefits and immediate stock options
         vesting upon termination without cause. The agreement with one of the
         executives also provides for six-

         month salary and benefits continuance in the event of a change in
         ownership control of the Corporation and a significant change in
         employment duties.

         Product Liability Claims and Insurance



         The Corporation currently has in force general and product liability
         insurance, with coverage limits of $10 million per incident and in the
         aggregate. The Corporation's insurance policies provide coverage on a
         claim made basis and are subject to annual renewal. Such insurance may
         not be available in the future on acceptable terms or at all. There can
         be no assurance that the coverage limits of such policies will be
         adequate to cover the Corporation's liabilities, should they occur.


         The Corporation has been named as one of two defendants and as one of
         several defendants in two separate product liability suits, involving
         Miraphen which contains phenylpropanolame (PPA), one in federal court
         in Pennsylvania and another in state court in New Jersey, respectively.
         These lawsuits seek damages generally for personal injury as well as
         punitive damages under a variety of liability theories including strict
         products liability, breach of warranty and negligence. The federal
         lawsuit does not set forth a specific dollar amount of damages
         requested; the state lawsuit seeks damages of $20 million. The
         Corporation is only in the initial stages of discovery. The
         Corporation's product liability insurer has recently informed The
         Corporation that it is not covered by insurance because the policy does
         not apply to any claim relating to any product containing PPA. The
         ultimate outcome of these cases and the potential effect on The
         Corporation cannot be determined.



         Other Legal Matters

         During February 2003, a former employee of the Corporation filed a
         suit alleging the breach of a written employment agreement. This
         individual is seeking 175,000 shares of the Corporation's stock.
         Management believes that this claim is without merit.



         The Corporation is also involved in routine litigation incidental to
         its business. The Corporation is defending for its interests and is
         contesting the claims against it.

         Management believes the ultimate disposition of these legal and
         product liability matters will not have a material adverse effect on
         the financial statements. No provision for liability, if any, that may
         result from the outcome of these matters has been made in these
         financial statements.


13.      RESTATEMENT

         The Corporation recorded a prior period adjustment to restate common
         stock and the accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2000 in connection
         with the valuation of its common shares issued to Sun Pharma in
         exchange for product technology transfers received through that date.
         The restatement served to increase the accumulated deficit and capital
         previously reported at that date by $983,660. The 2000 operating
         results have been restated by increasing the net loss by $171,832 in
         connection with the valuation of common shares issued to Sun Pharma in
         exchange for the product technology transfer during 2000.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         Article XV of Caraco's articles of incorporation limit the liability of
its directors. The article provides, generally, that a director shall not be
personally liable to Caraco or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to Caraco or its shareholders, (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) for a violation of Section 551(1) of the Michigan
Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) for any act or omission
occurring prior to the effective date of Article XV. The articles of
incorporation further provide that if the Act hereafter is amended to further
eliminate or limit the liability of a director, then a director of Caraco, in
addition to the circumstances in which a director is not personally liable as
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, shall not be liable to the
fullest extent permitted by the Act, so amended. Any repeal or modification of
the foregoing provisions of Article XV by the shareholders of Caraco shall not
adversely affect any right of protection of a director of Caraco existing at the
time of such repeal or modification.

         Article XVII of Caraco's articles of incorporation and Article VII of
Caraco's bylaws provide that Caraco shall indemnify each of the directors and
officers of Caraco, and may indemnify any other individual, to the fullest
extent permitted by Sections 561 and 562 of the Act and as otherwise permitted
by law, and shall promptly make or cause to be made any determination required
by Section 564a of the Act. Article XVII of the articles of incorporation and
Article VII of the bylaws also provide that Caraco shall pay and reimburse each
of the directors and officers of Caraco, and may pay and reimburse any other
individual, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 564b of the Act and as
otherwise permitted by law, and that Caraco shall promptly make or cause to be
made any determination required by Section 564b.

         Caraco maintains an insurance policy for its directors and executive
officers pursuant to which its directors and executive officers are insured
against liability for certain actions in their capacity as directors and
executive officers of Caraco.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to Caraco's directors, officers or persons controlling
Caraco pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Caraco is aware that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission that this indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

         The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by Caraco
in connection with the issuance and distribution of the shares of common stock

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

(a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
         the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
         after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
         recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
         aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
         in the registration statement;

                  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
         plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
         statement or any material change to such information in the
         registration statement;

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered



                                      II-6

therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.




                                      II-7

                                   SIGNATURES



         In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all
of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorizes this Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 4 to registration statement on Form SB-2 to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Detroit, State of Michigan.
