History:

 

Medi-caps was incorporated by S L Mittal in Aug.'83 as a private limited company and was converted into a public limited company in Mar.'86. Pharmaceutical companies procure empty hard gelatin capsules from Medi-caps for dosage medicines meant for oral administration. The company is the second-largest manufacturer of empty hard gelatin capsules in India.

  
 
 It takes several years for a company manufacturing capsules to attain zero-defect in production and to fully normalize operations. Medi-caps can claim to have achieved this. In Apr.'95, the company offered 0.611Millions rights shares at a premium of Rs 116 to part-finance the Rs 91.9- Millions  expansion of its manufacturing facilities (from 2000 mln pa to 3440 mln pa) by installing four high-speed automatic capsule-making machines. 
 
 The company's manufacturing unit is located in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.. At present, it has 40 clients. The other group company of Medi-caps is Medi-caps Finance which is engaged in finance related activities. In 1993, R C Mittal received the Glory of India International award.

  
 In 1995-96, the company enhanced the capacity of empty hard gelatin capsules by 250.0 Millions the company received ISO 9002 Certification during 1998-99. It developed six sizes of the Hard Gelatin Capsules in 2002-03. The company is closely working on commissioning of 13th Machine with 100% atomization. During 2002-03 the company established the export market in countries like China, Thailand, Dubai, Malaysia, South Africa and Philippines.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS: 

During the under review Company could achieve a total income of Rs.246.017 millions in comparison of previous year Rs.228.250 millions. Decline in manufacturing turnover is purely due to various Government polices. For example introduction of VAT, Excise on MRP for finished products etc. Due to these issues major consumers of our product have cut down their production due to which there was low demand.

The financial health of the country has shown significant growth in all the sectors, and the company could able to earn Rs.46.821 millions (previous year Rs.20.499 millions) this income includes dividend of Rs.10.087 millions and profit on sale of mutual funds Rs.32.192 millions. Due to strong financial planning your company has maximized its value of investments and also foresee the positive trends in the coming year. The overall profit for the year is recorded to Rs.63.343 millions in comparison of previous year Rs.40.078 millions The Company has grown substantially the profitability despite of fall in turnover. 

 

 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

  
Industry structure and developments: 

The pharmaceuticals industry is a knowledge driven industry and is heavily dependent on Research and Development of new products and growth. However, basic research is a time consuming and expensive process and is thus dominated by the huge local and global multinationals. Indian companies have entered into the area and the results have been encouraging.

 
 
 In the global pharmaceuticals market, western markets are growing largely due to the introduction of the new molecules at the highest prices. A well-established reimbursement and the insurance system imply that the per capita drug expenditure is abnormally high in the western countries. 

The Indian pharmaceuticals industry is highly fragmented, but has grown rapidly due to the friendly patent regime and the low cost manufacturing structure. The country production of the bulk drugs and the formulations grew at CAGR of 18% over the past ten years


 SWOT ANALYSIS FOR THE COMPANY: 

·         Strengths: 

·         Strong Research & Development.* Integrated supply chain.* Ability to deliver cost saving.* High quality of manpower resources at a lower cost.* Centralized manufacturing activities at Pithampur Plant.* Zero Debt Company.* Strong financial planning. 

·          Weaknesses: 

·         Scarcity of Technical Expertise.* Controlling of process parameters is very critical.* Dependency on formulation Companies.* Frequent fluctuation in market demand.* Very sensitive process of manufacturing. 

·          Opportunities:

  * In export there is a very good demand of gelatin capsules and India having good quantum in that and quality of Indian capsule recognized in world. 

 * Due to improved capital market, there are good possibility to invest the surplus funds in good securities and mutual funds. 

·         Threats: 

·         India has one of the lower per capita health care expenditure in the world. 

·         Aggressive price competition from local and multinational player

·         Fast technology change in the manufacturing line of the Company.

·         Frequent change in Govt. policy for pharmaceutical industries.

·         Developed countries are very rigid in procuring capsules from out of countries. 

·         Competitions from the new entrants in the SEZ area, which are enjoying duty exemption benefits.

 
 Outlook: 

 While we cannot predict a further performance, we believe considerable opportunities will exist for sustained and profitable growth, not only in the developing countries but also in the developed western countries. The Company is in continuous process to launch new variety of capsules and variants to meet out the demands in the coming year and also to expand its marketing reach in other countries for growth in the export as well as domestic turnover. The company with its continued focus on exports stands to gain a lot from the emerging scenario: 

 Marketing and Export:

In domestic market your Company had added many multinational companies in its client lists with improved quality of products as well as services. Due to that, company is forced to reduce the export basket. 

 

 ISO: 9001:2000 CERTIFICATION: 

 As you are aware that your Company is ISO: 9001:2000 complied companies which is the latest version of ISO series and this will give further strength to the quality as well as international recognition and will contribute to the export business of the company as it has done in the past years.
