Explanatory note: Akorn, Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing this Amendment to correct its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2011 (the “Original Form 8-K”), including the Company’s press release dated November 1, 2011, filed as Exhibit 99.1 therewith, which contained: (i) errors in the diluted share counts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in understatement of the Company’s net income per diluted share by one penny for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, (ii) certain classification errors within the Operating Activities section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, which did not affect the total net cash provided by operating activities, but only the line item classifications of the operating cash flow activity, and (iii) a typographical error in the headline.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Company’s Press Release dated November 1, 2011 contained incorrect diluted share counts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and an incorrect net income per diluted share number for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which resulted in understatement of the Company’s net income per diluted share by one penny for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Presented below is an excerpt from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations showing the corrected figures.

None of these changes affects the total net cash provided by operating activities as disclosed in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the Original Form 8-K.
