LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History :

 

The company was incorporated on 29th December, 1976 at Ankleshwar in Gujarat having company registration no. 8738 as a Private limited company and converted into a Public Limited company on 19th December, 1985.

 

The company brought bulk drugs into its operational fold by amalgamating Lyphin Chemicals Private Limited with itself in April, 1983.  It also added a range of ayurvedic and animal health care products over the years.  In 1990, it diversified into marketing medical and diagnostic equipment and instruments of Bekton Dickinson, US, Airsep Corporation, US, Coloplast, Denmark and Terumo Corporation, Japan.  Lyka Exports is the subsidiary of the company.

 

The company offers a broad range of antibiotics used as life-savers and to treat minor infections.  It has a fairly widespread product base with tropical steroids for skin disorders, anti-cancer products, cardio-vascular drugs and anti-inflammatory product.  Lyka introduced in India, cough lozenges containing dextromethorphan hydrobromide [DMR], favoured internationally as an effective and safe cough suppressant.  Lyka had two formulations division and a bulk drugs division.  It also set up additional manufacturing facilities for ointments.  As part of its diversification, it had invested in Relic Finance, a company carrying on the business of finance and merchant banking.

 

A Government of India-recognised Export House, it received the Certificate of Merit for its excellent export performance in 1993-94.  In the same year, it received an award from CHEMEXCIL for its outstanding performance.

 

During 1997-98, the company’s administrative office and plant at Tarapur has been awarded ISO 9002 certification for its quality management system by SGS Yarsley International Certification Services Limited, U.K.

 

The production carried out at Bombay has been shifted to Tarapur and Ankleshwar in the year 1999-2000, inorder to achieve economies of scale and better compliance.  The company has assigned Trade Marks and transferred technical, marketing know-how and allied rights pertaining to some of its products.

 

OPERATIONS
 
The Company has continued to focus on Contract Manufacturing, especially Lyophilisation. With increased number of products and customers, the Company has been able to optimize utilization of its manufacturing capacity. 
 
Company has now fully optimized its lyophilisation capacity and has planned to increase its capacity to manufacture a wide range of products and meet increased demand for its lyophilized formulations. 

 
Company's sale to its Joint Venture Company namely Lyka BDR International Limited (LBDR) has though increased marginally, company expects to achieve further quantum increase in sales in the current year with the corresponding increase in sales of LBDR. 

 
Company has continued to widen its range of Generic Formulations and hopes to increase its sale in this growing segment. 
 
Company's R&D activities have played a key role in introducing new products and shall continue to develop new dosage forms and new drug delivery systems. Company has also successfully developed products on Contract basis for U.S.A. Market. 

 
Company has undertaken formulation development activity of various new molecules and expects to receive permission for manufacturing the same in due course which will help increase Company's contract manufacturing activities and generate additional revenue. 

 
Company also has plans to introduce a wide range of Injectable Formulations mainly for its use in hospitals, nursing homes etc. which will help generate additional revenue in the coming years. 

 
With these increased activities and full utilization of its capacity, the Company is optimistic about its future and expects to achieve better results. 

 
GLOBAL DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS (GDR): 

 
The Company issued GDRs of the value of US $5,000,000 during December 2005 which has been listed in Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Consequently, the Company allotted 40,00,000 Equity Shares underlying the said GDRs. The Equity Shares has been listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited end National Stock Exchange of India Limited. 

 

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS: 

 
The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Serum Institute of India Limited, pursuant to which, both the companies have plans to use each others facilities and capacities to Mutual advantage. 
 
The Company has dis-invested its stake of 49% in the capital of its Joint Venture, Lyka Hetero Healthcare Limited. This will open new avenues for the Company in the domestic market and accordingly to start with, Company is foraying into marketing of injectable formulations to hospitals, institutions, nursing homes etc. 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS 

 
Current market for pharmaceutical formulations in India is around Rs.235000 millions. The average growth during last three years is around 10% and it is expected to grow at this rate. 

 
Apart from Life Style disease drugs, sale of Anti-asthamatic, Geriatric drugs, CNS (Central Nervous System) and G.I. (Gastro Intestinal) Drugs continues to be on rise. With the increase in pollution, stress and changing dietary habits as well as improved life expectancy, the industry is witnessing growth in such therapeutic groups. 

 
As expected, outsourcing of Research and Development, Clinical Trials and Contract Manufacturing by international companies is on the rise and coming days shall witness more increased activities in this area. Indian Pharmaceutical Industry is poised to be a key player in these areas. 

 
Exports of pharmaceutical formulations to both Regulated and Non-Regulated markets have continued to grow steadily. Current exports are estimated to be around Rs.150000 millions. The exports market, during last three years, have shown an average growth of around 18%. As margin on Generics is under pressure in U.S.A., Indian Pharma companies are acquiring pharmaceutical companies in U.S.A. and Europe to stay competitive and maintain overall sales and margin. 

 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS, OUTLOOK, RISKS AND CONCERNS: 

 
Company is manufacturing a wide range of lyophilized injectables and has plans to increase the lyophilisation capacity and also further widen the range of products. The demand for lyophilized products manufactured by the company is growing continuously. 

 
Company's sale of Generic products is also steadily improving. With the expanded range of products, the company is set to grow faster in this  segment. 

 
Company is exploring new avenues in the Domestic Market and accordingly to start with, Company is foraying into marketing of injectable formulations to hospitals, institutions, nursing homes etc. 

 
With the increased activities in all the segments of operation, the overall performance of the company is expected to improve further. 

 

FINANCIAL / OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE: 

 
The Company's manufacturing of Lyophilized Products, on contract basis, has increased substantially, and as a result thereof, apart from the rise in processing and labour charges, it has helped the Company utilize its manufacturing capacity optimally. In coming years, Contract Manufacturing including lyophilisation, would be a focus area of operation for maximizing revenue generation and capacity utilization, making manufacturing facilities as stand-alone and self sustaining centres. However, the sales revenues is marginally lower than that of last year in view of competitors having shifted their operation to excise free zones. 

 
During the year company reached a one-time settlement with one of the member banks of the `consortium of banks' and recognized the benefits. Similar exercise is in an advanced stage of negotiation with one more bank of the `consortium of banks'. 

 
Till now the finance cost has been a major factor affecting the margins. However, the Company's persistent efforts have yielded positive results, which would result into improved margin through substantial savings in finance cost in coming years. The Company is also exploring its other avenues to reduce its Interest burden further to help improve its profitability. 

 
Apart from gearing itself to become a major manufacturer and supplier of Lyophilised Products, the Company has also developed several new products through its R & D activities, which would help generate additional revenue for the Company in coming years. 

 
Subsequent to the close of the Financial Year, the Company raised its Equity Capital by issue of 4.000 millions of Equity Shares underlying the Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) at Rs.57.45 per share and also issued 9,30,000 Equity Shares on a Preferential basis at Rs.72/- per share. The Company also issued 4,25,000 Equity Share Warrants to be converted on or before 14/01/2007 into 4,25,000 Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.54/- per share and 6,75,000 Equity Share Warrants to be converted on or before 05/07/2007 into 6,75,000 Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.58/- per share. Company is also exploring other possible avenues to induct long-term funds, subject to necessary approvals, to improve its financial ratios. This additional infusion of funds would be deployed in further upgradation of its manufacturing facilities.
