As at 31 March
2014, 282,100 options were outstanding under Employee Stock Option Scheme 2003.
On exercise of the options so granted under Employee Stock Option Scheme, 2003,
the paid up Equity Share Capital of the Company will increase by equivalent
number of shares.
Right, Preference
and restriction on shares
The Company
presently has only one class of ordinary equity shares. For all matters
submitted to vote in the shareholders meeting, every holder of ordinary equity
shares, as reflected in the of the Company on the date of the shareholders’
meeting, has one vote in respect of each share held. All shares are equally
eligible to receive dividends and the repayment of capital in the event of
liquidation of the Company.
In the period of
five years immediately preceeding 31 March 2014, the Company has not allotted
any shares as fully paid up pursuant to contracts without payment being
received in cash. Further, the Company has neither issued bonus shares nor
bought back any shares during the aforementioned period.
Employee Stock
Option Scheme, 2003 (ESOS)
The Company has
formulated an Employee Stock Option Scheme (‘ESOS’) scheme namely ESOS 2003
under which it has made grants on various dates from time to time. Each grant
has a vesting period which varies from 1 - 2 years and up to 4 - 6 years from
the date of grant depending on the terms of the grant. The grants are made at
the market price of the equity shares of the Company on either the date or the
closing price of the date prior to day of the grant.
The aggregate
share options and weighted average exercise price under the above mentioned
plan are as follows:

All share based
employee remuneration would be settled in equity. The Company has no legal or
constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options.
The fair values of
options granted are determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
Significant inputs into the calculation are:
|
Share price
(Rs.)* |
120.85 – 480.40 |
|
Exercise price
(Rs.)* |
120.85 – 480.40 |

*All figures have
been accordingly adjusted for:
- Split of face
value from Rs. 10 to Rs. 2 in October 2003.
- 1:1 bonus issue in
April 2005 and split of face value from Rs. 2 to Rs. 1 in September 2007.
The underlying
expected volatility was determined by reference to historical data, adjusted
for unusual share price movements. No special features inherent to the options
granted were incorporated into the measurement of fair value.
The Company’s net
profit and earnings per share would have been as under, had the compensation
cost for employees’ stock options been recognized based on fair value at the
date of grant in accordance with Black-Scholes model.

MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As on 31.03.2014)
Global Environment
During the year
the world economy continued to experience subdued growth. Underperformance in
the global economy was observed across almost all regions and major economic groups.
Most developed economies continued struggling in an uphill battle against the
lingering effects of the financial crisis, grappling in particular with the
challenges of taking appropriate fiscal and monetary policy actions. A number
of emerging economies, which had already experienced a notable slowdown in the
past two years, encountered new headwinds during 2013 on both international and
domestic fronts.
On the positive
side, Europe witnessed greater financial stability and there were signs of revival
in a number of its constituent nations, ledby Germany and UK. The US too saw
better employment numbers and an improvement in its growth prospects which
prompted its leaders to consider withdrawing the easy money policies that
bolstered the economy. Worldwide recession risk declined to its lowest level in
three years, and the upturn in global trade and manufacturing has reinforced
the upswing.
But a rough start
to the year 2014 - financial market turmoil and the Ukraine issue points out
that the crisis for the world economy is far from over. The World Bank outlook
for developing countries is for flat growth in 2014. This marks the third year
in a row of sub-five percent growth and reflects a more challenging post-crisis
global economic environment.
GLOBAL PHARMA
SCENARIO (As on 31.03.2014)
The world pharmaceutical market is estimated to have grown
by around 2.5% in 2013. While average revenue growth in developed markets was
only 0.36%; in emerging markets the growth was about 10.7%.
The
outlook for the global pharmaceutical market is marked by greater cost
pressures and a higher bar for product innovation that reflects an increased
demand for value from both regulators and consumers. Weak growth in developed
markets, the continued rise of emerging markets and a shift to specialty
medicines are predicted to be significant outcomes over the next five years.
The
Global Pharma scenario remains dynamic and challenging. We are witnessing
various new developments that make one believe that the ensuing years for
pharma companies will be challenging. The pharmaceutical industry is facing the
‘Innovation Challenge’ characterized by the drastic decrease in productivity in
its R&D and
marketing
of new molecules. The decrease in innovation capacity of Big Pharmaceutical
companies threatens their short and long term economic performance.
Another
important trend that is being witnessed is the regulatory environment in
developed and developing countries. While developed countries are constantly
raising the bar, the developing countries are rapidly changing guidelines to
bring them on par with the developed countries’ regulatory framework. The
increased scrutiny from regulators will continue to enforce renewed commitment
to quality from the industry.
M&A
activity is also expected to ramp up in the pharmaceutical space in 2014 and
beyond. Faced with slowing sales and fewer drug approvals, Big Pharma will look
at buying the companies that have solid pipelines and will deliver growth.
Some
of the other movements that are being witnessed are the continuous shift of
share of healthcare spends from treatment of disease to prevention and
diagnosis. Further, the disease burden shift towards chronic diseases is
rapidly happening. The patients are becoming increasingly empowered and going
ahead, will be responsible for an increased portion of healthcare costs due to
ever increasing pressure on governments. The value of patent expiries will
increase, but the composition of value will shift from small molecule to
biologics.
