The Board is pleased to report that the total revenue of the
Company during the year under review was the highest ever.
The total revenue has gone up by 26.03% from ? 1227.29
lakh in the previous year to ? 1546.78 lakh during the year
under review. This was largely due to the significant increase
in exports of the company from ? 184.49 lakh in the previous
year to ? 293.55 lakh in the year during review.
The higher turnover resulted in significantly higher operating
profits for the Company. The operating profit of the Company
increased from ? 96.23 Lakh in the previous year to ? 118.88
during the year under review, an increase of about 23.54%.
The increased operating profits have led to higher net profits
for the company at ? 74.85 Lakh in the year under review
compared to ? 57.74 lakh in the previous year, an increase of
about 29.62%.
During the year under review, the GMP certification of the
manufacturing facility of the Company was renewed by the
regulatory authorities. This will help the Company to continue
to explore alternate export markets for its products.
During the year under review, the Government of India
amended the Schedule M of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act,
1940, in an effort to bring the nation''s pharmaceutical quality
standards up to par with global standards. The Schedule M
prescribes the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and
requirements of premises, plant, and equipment for
pharmaceutical products. All pharmaceutical units have been
given a deadline, based on their turnover, to comply with the
requirements of the amended Schedule M. Based on the
current guidelines, the Company has to comply with amended
Schedule M by December 2024.
The Company will have to undertake a major renovation and
upgradation of its manufacturing facility to meet the
requirements of the amended Schedule M. The project will
involve dismantling of some old production areas,
construction of new buildings, purchase and installation of
many new equipment, utilities etc. Due to this, there may be
some disruption to production during the current year.
This is going to be a major challenge for the Company, in
terms of availability of knowledge resources, skilled
manpower and funds. The Company has already finalized the
design and layout of the upgraded facility and is planning for
the implementation phase.
The Company may have to raise debt to partially fund this
major upgradation project. However, the Company has
adequate built-up reserves and liquidity for its operational
needs.
On account of these regulatory changes, the present
business environment is quite challenging and uncertain.
However, the Board is confident that your Company would be
able to comply with the requirements of the amended
Schedule M in due course. Once the facility is upgraded, the
Company would be able to introduce newer products as also
start exporting to regulated markets. This would provide a
great impetus to its growth.
There is no change in the share capital of the Company.
During the year under review, the Authorised Share Capital of
the Company is ? 6,00,00,000/- (Rupees Six Crore Only)
divided into 60,00,000 (Sixty lakhs) Equity Shares of ? 10/-
(Rupees Ten) each.
The Paid-up Capital of the Company as on 31st March, 2024
remains the same at ? 2,99,03,000/- (Rupees Two Crores
Ninety-Nine Lakhs Three Thousand Only) divided in to
29,90,300(Twenty-Nine lakh Ninety Thousand Three
hundred) Equity share of ? 10/- (Rupees Ten Only) each.
Keeping in view the future strategic initiatives of the
Company, the Board has not recommended any dividend for
the year ended 31st March, 2024.
The Company has adequate and effective internal controls to
provide reasonable assurance on achievement of its
operational, compliance and reporting objectives. The
Internal Financial Controls of the Company encompasses the
policies, standard operating procedure manuals, and risk &
control measures adopted by the Company for ensuring the
orderly and efficient conduct of its business and support
functions, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting record.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

as well as in the rest of the world. The revenues of the company
decreased to ''. 736.19 lakh compared to '' 1195.63 lakh in the previous
year. The dip in revenues was mostly on account of reduction in exports
(direct and indirect) of the company, from '' 802.71 lakh in the
previous year to '' 343.67 lakh during the period under review.
The decrease in revenues has also led to a corresponding decrease in
the net profits of the company from '' 41.80 lakh in the previous year
to '' 20.42 lakh during the year under review.
During the year, the company continued to explore alternate export
products and markets, as per the guidelines of the Board. As part of

Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), to promote Indian Industry in
that market. Kazakhstan is a relatively unexplored, untapped market and

customers. The company has been receiving a few enquiries from
Kazakhstan after the participation.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
In the current year, there are some initial signs of a revival in the
economy. The Board is hopeful that with improvement in the business
sentiment, the company would be able to improve its performance in the
current year, especially with regards to its exports.
