PRESENT STATUS OF THE COMPANY
In the Financial year 2010- 11 your Company has acquired 100% stake of
M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Limited from the funds available on the
expectation that substantial funds will be infused by way of Private
Equity. This investment was necessary as the existing plants in Pimpri
and Vadgaon were very old and additional capacities were required.
Since the Company has entered into Joint Venture with M/s Interpro
Healthcare of Republic of South Africa it was necessary to have a
modern facility complying with the regulations applicable in Republic
of South Africa. The facility of M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Limited has
substantial capacity and was also compliant with Modern WHO GMP
guidelines.
The decision to acquire M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Ltd and other
capital expenditure during 2010-11 coupled with the as yet unsuccessful
attempt to infuse substantial funds by way of private equity lead to a
severe liquidity crunch and an acute shortage of working capital.
Additionally the hostile economic environment prevented seeking any
suitable alternatives that were before the Company in the form of
liquidation of certain non-core assets or obtaining liquidity from the
financial markets. This lead to a prolonged period of financial
hardship to the Company with a cascading effect of slow recoveries from
debtors, drop in sales , labour unrest, disruption of manufacturing
activities and the consequent loss of key customers and unrelenting
pressure from banks and creditors.
The cumulative effect of the inconsistent cash flows from operations
and the inability to draw down the sanctioned limits from the bankers
and over cautious investment climate in the capital markets lead to
defaults and delays in honouring financial commitments. As a result the
bankers have classified the Company''s accounts as a NPA during 2012 and
further recalled their facilities, initiated recovery proceedings by
seeking legal action through winding up petitions, initiating DRT
applications, action under Section 138 of the N I Act and SARFAESI Act.
Several creditors and workers have also taken legal action for recovery
against the Company.
The Bankers and Unsecured Creditors of the Company and its Subsidiary
had initiated proceedings before the Hon''ble Bombay High Court for
winding up of the Company. Consequent to one of the customer, who had
offered to buy the Company''s manufacturing unit at Baddi and which
offer was informed to the Court in the aforesaid proceedings,
withdrawing his offer to buy the said property, Honorable Bombay High
Court in their order dated 30th April 2014, appointed "Provisional
Liquidator" to take charge of the of Company''s Books of Account, assets
and properties both movable and immovable. Further, the Court ordered
the Company, its Directors, and Officers and Agents from creating any
dispossession of any of the assets or properties without leave of the
Court, except in the ordinary and usual course of its business.
Consequent to the Losses exceeding the Share Capital and Reserves, the
Company through its application u/s 15 of SICA Act 1985 has sought
registration before BIFR and protection u/s 22 of SICA Act 1985. The
application has been duly acknowledged vide No 1366 dated 02.07.2014.
Company has also briefly narrated therein its proposal to revive the
operation and turn the negative Net Worth to positive.
Majority of the secured Lenders [Consortium of Banks] have, pursuant to
an auction process, assigned their dues in favour of an Asset
Reconstruction Company [ARC]. ARC is presently leading the dialogue
with the Company for a comprehensive settlement of the dues of the
Consortium. Company is hopeful that the settlement as aforesaid, would
benefit it and coupled with other proposals under evaluation such as
developing the properties as residential/commercial complexes,
negotiations with strategies investors for infusion of funds to
commence the operations, etc. will go a long way in bringing about turn
around in the operations and to a large extent make the existing
negative net worth become positive. The Company has included the same
in the presentations that have been made before BIFR. On the Winding up
petition field before Bombay High Court against the Company, it has
been legally advised that since reference has already been made to
BIFR, it has fair amount of chance in succeeding.
Based on these factors viewed cumulatively, Management is of the view
that the Company continues to operate as a going concern and is having
the ability to meet its financial commitments.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY
i. In the Financial year 2010- 11 your Company has acquired 100% stake
of M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Limited from the funds available on the
expectation that substantial funds will be infused by way of Private
Equity. This investment was necessary as the existing plants in Pimpri
and Vadgaon were very old and additional capacities were required.
Since the Company has entered into Joint Venture with M/s Interpro
Healthcare of Republic of South Africa it was necessary to have a
modern facility complying with the regulations applicable in Republic
of South Africa. The facility of M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Limited has
substantial capacity and is also compliant with Modern WHO GMP
guidelines.
ii. The decision to acquire M/s Briocia Pharma (India) Ltd and other
capital expenditure during 2010-11 coupled with the as yet unsuccessful
attempt to infuse substantial funds by way of private equity lead to a
severe liquidity crunch and an acute shortage of working capital.
Additionally the hostile economic environment prevented seeking any

The cumulative effect of the inconsistent cash flows from operations
and the inability to draw down the sanctioned limits from the bankers

defaults and delays in honouring financial commitments. As a result the
bankers have classified the Company's accounts as a NPA during 2012 and
further recalled their facilities, initiated recovery proceedings by
seeking legal action through winding up petitions, initiating DRT
applications, action under section 138 of the N I Act and SARFAESI Act.
Several creditors and workers have also taken legal action for recovery
against the company.
Your Company is making attempts to restore the financial health and has
approached the bankers with a proposal to restructure the facilities
and arrive at a compromise proposal that is a win- win situation for
all. The Company is also confident of infusing equity funds from a
strategic investor given the highly successful recall value of the
Company's products both in the domestic formulations business as well
as in the international markets like it did in the past. The Company is
also mindful of the enormous real estate potential of its units in
Pimpri and Vadagaon and is carefully evaluating the many offers
received for the development of these properties. Additionally the
Company had entered into a Slump Sale agreement with Herbalife
international (India) Pvt Ltd. dated 15th May 2013 for sale of the
Baddi Unit of the Company. The share holders of the Company have
approved the sale by postal ballot. The procedure for sale of the said
unit is in process and the same will reduce the liabilities of the
Company and will assist in minimising the liquidity crunch to some
extent. Based on these factors viewed cumulatively, Management is of
the view that the Company continues to operate as a going concern and
is having the ability to meet its financial commitments.
DIVIDEND
Considering the lossess incurred by the Company, your Directors do not
recommend any Dividend for the period ended as on 30th June 2013.

SALE OF BADDI UNIT

end had already been initiated, financial results relating to this unit
have been separately disclosed as being relating to ' discontinuing '
operations as required under the Companies Act, 1956 and the
regulations made thereunder.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company's Bank Accounts became NPA as indicated in the previous
year. The principal amount due to the consortium of bankers amounted to
Apprx. Rs.196 Crores. The bankers have sent a demand notice under
section 13 of the SARFAESI Act in respect of the Company's Assets
situated at Vadagaon, Pimpri and Vasai for an amount of Rs. 224.09 Crs
that included interest upto 31st July 2013. The company has made
representations for waiver of interest and grant of time for repayment
of these dues. The matter is pending and the company has been legally
advised that since possession of these units still continue with the
company and the operations are being carried on, title to the aforesaid
properties continue to remain with the company.
The non- consortium bankers and other unsecured creditors, have
outstanding dues for which they have initiated legal proceedings
including winding up petitions in various courts. The company has made
representations for waiver of interest and grant of time for repayment
of these dues.
In view of the fact that proposal for waiver of interest is pending
with the banks, no provision for interest for the period ending 30th
June 2013 is made in the accounts. However under protest and without
acknowledging the demand in respect of interest as intimated by the
banks provision for contingencies made in the profit and loss accounts
to the extent of Rs. 57 Crores is considered adequate for this purpose.
