     In response to a publication by Deutsche Bank - Equity Research dated
February 9, 2009 Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Taro" or the "Company")
is correcting certain inaccuracies in the aforementioned publication.
Specifically, the Company stated that the five products mentioned in the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") warning letter with respect to its Canadian
manufacturing facility accounted for aggregate net sales of approximately $6
million in 2008 (and not $40 million, as incorrectly stated by Deutsche Bank),
with the Company's total net sales in 2008 equaling approximately $342 million
(and not $300 million, as incorrectly stated by Deutsche Bank). The Company also
added that as previously reported, its net income in 2008 is estimated at $51
million and net cash generated from operations is estimated at $74 million.
Further information on the Company's preliminary, unaudited and unreviewed
financial results for the year ended December 31, 2008, may be found in the
Company's press release dated February 2, 2009 (www.taro.com).

     With respect to the FDA warning letter, the Company reiterated its
commitment to working with the FDA to resolve all issues expeditiously and
indicated that corrective actions, which began immediately following the
inspection last year, are still underway.

meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
statements include, but are not limited to, statements that do not describe

similar language, statements with respect to the Company's financial
performance, availability of financial information and estimates of financial
results and financial information for 2007 and 2008 and statements with respect
to the remediation of FDA observations. Although Taro Pharmaceutical Industries
Ltd. believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements to
be based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurances that its
