ITEM 4.         OWNERSHIP


     James W.  McGlothlin  and  Nicholas  D.  Street  each own 50% of The United
Company,  a  Virginia  corporation,  of which The Summit  Fund,  LLC, a Delaware
limited  liability  company  ("The  Summit  Fund"),  is  a  subsidiary.   United
Management  Company,  LLC, a Virginia limited liability company,  owns 1% of The
Summit Fund. The United Company has all investment  and/or voting power over the
shares of Common Stock of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which it holds. In addition
to being  shareholders  in The United  Company,  Mr.  McGlothlin and Mr. Street,
along  with Lois A.  Clarke  constitute  the board of  directors  of The  United
Company.   Neither  Mr.   McGlothlin,   Mr.  Street,  nor  Ms.  Clarke  directly
beneficially  own  more  than  5%  of  the  outstanding  Common  Stock  of  King
Pharmaceuticals,  Inc. However, as a result of their respective positions,  they
may be deemed to have the power to  exercise  or  direct  the  exercise  of such
voting and/or dispositive power that The United Company may have with respect to
shares of Common Stock of King Pharmaceuticals, Inc. held by The United Company.

     The Summit Fund, The United Company,  United Management  Company,  LLC, Mr.
McGlothlin,  Mr.  Street and Ms. Clarke are of the view that they are not acting
as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934. Indirect beneficial  ownership is attributed to United Management Company,
LLC,  Mr.  McGlothlin,  Mr.  Street  and Ms.  Clarke  because  of their  control
relationship with The United Company.
