                  Taro Receives Investigation Report

  Company Also Announces Appointment of Interim Chief Administrative
                       and Restructuring Officer


    HAWTHORNE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2006--Taro
Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Taro," the "Company," NASDAQ: TARO)
today announced that Jenner & Block LLP, the independent law firm
retained by the Company's Audit Committee to investigate facts related
to the Company's previously announced decision to restate financial
results for the years 2003 and 2004, has presented its report to the
Company's Board of Directors.

    In its report, Jenner & Block advised that, based on its
investigation, it did not find in the Company's 2003 and 2004
financial statements an intentional misstatement of reserves relating
to sales to wholesale customers. However, Jenner & Block further
reported that it found that a member of the Company's senior financial
management caused the Company to make misleading statements in
correspondence to members of the staff of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and that such individual and another
member of the Company's financial management also made
misrepresentations to employees of Ernst & Young, the

    Company's independent auditor. No other Company personnel were
found to have engaged in such conduct. Jenner & Block also found that
the Audit Committee had adequately investigated certain matters that
the Company's independent auditor had brought to its attention in
connection with its work on the audit of the Company's 2005 financial
statements.

    After Jenner & Block delivered its report, Kevin P. Connelly, the
Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as well
as another member of financial management employed by Taro
Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc., located in New York, resigned from their
positions, effective immediately. Both individuals advised the Board
that they vigorously disagreed with the Jenner & Block findings with
respect to their actions. The Company will immediately initiate a
search for a new chief financial officer.

    The Company has provided a report on the results of the
investigation to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel in connection
with the Company's request for continued listing of its ordinary
shares on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. As previously announced,
subject to the Panel's review of the report, a further extension, to
November 17, 2006, was granted for Taro to file its Annual Report on
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 with the SEC. If these
conditions and other relevant listing requirements are met, the
Company's ordinary shares will maintain their current listing.

    The Company understands that Ernst & Young will need to review the
results of Jenner & Block's investigation before the 2005 audit can be
completed and the Company will be in a position to file its 2005
Annual Report on Form 20-F with the SEC. The Company expects to work
with Ernst & Young to review the results of the independent
investigation and to complete the 2005 audit. However, the Company
cautioned that there was no assurance that it would be able to file
its 2005 Form 20-F by November 17, 2006 and retain its Nasdaq listing.
If delisted from The Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Company stated
that it planned to re-apply for listing following the filing of the
2005 Form 20-F.

    The Company also announced that it is undertaking certain
restructuring initiatives to address liquidity needs and identify cost
reduction and debt refinancing and restructuring opportunities. The
Company has appointed Rebecca A. Roof, a Managing Director at
AlixPartners LLP, as interim Chief Administrative and Restructuring
Officer to oversee this process. As part of these initiatives, the
Company has recently reduced annual personnel costs by approximately
$10 million. AlixPartners is a global performance improvement,
corporate turnaround, and financial advisory services firm.

    The Company is current on its debt service payments to its banks
and bondholders, but remains out of compliance with respect to certain
reporting requirements to its banks because it has not timely filed
financial statements. The Company has commenced discussions with its
lenders in connection with obtaining the appropriate waivers from its
banks.

    Barrie Levitt, M.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors, said that
Board members were surprised and saddened at the findings of the
independent counsel. "Nevertheless," he stated, "we are committed to
moving forward and putting these unfortunate matters behind us. We are
pleased to have added Rebecca Roof to Taro's senior management team as
interim Chief Administrative and Restructuring Officer. Her experience
will be important as we seek to devote our full resources to running
our business and serving our customers. She has the full support and
confidence of our management team."

    The Company also announced that it has scheduled its Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders for December 6, 2006.

    Taro is a multinational, science-based pharmaceutical company
dedicated to meeting the needs of its customers through the discovery,
development, manufacturing and marketing of the highest quality
