From MD's Desk:

Dear Shareholders,
To indicate where we are headed, it would be necessary to appreciate where we have come from.
The year 2008-09 marked the end of an important phase in our journey; the end of a five-year period in which we invested Rs.200 crore in growing capacities and capabilities.
In doing so, we enhanced our manufacturing capacities from 16 million units to 78.50 million units; we created a globally benchmarked 100,000 sq. ft R&D centre with multiple testing facilities, pilot labs and sophisticated equipment; we added a clinical trial wing to our research capability.
Consequently, all our globally certified facilities now operate in line with internationally-respected standard operating practices. So while our facilities may be in India (we have one in Germany), the standards they champion belong clearly to some of the best manufacturing facilities from the regulated markets.
This positioning was showcased in a pride-enhancing achievement: we received product patents from a regulated market like South Africa, transforming our image from just another Indian pharmaceutical player into a globally-respected pharmaceutical innovator.
Review It is with this background that one needs to appraise our performance of 2008-09. We reported a favourable performance during the year under review:
Revenue grew 23.83%
EBIDTA improved 14.41%
Profit after tax increased 18.21%
EBIDTA margin stood at 22.15%
ROCE was 35%
This improvement was achieved in the face of India�s currency devaluation that made our products expensive and prompted some international customers to postpone purchases. Besides, product offtake from Indian institutional clients (we have marketing tie-ups with about 20 large pharmaceutical companies) slackened marginally. However, I am pleased to state that our growth direction remained largely intact owing to our deliberate strategy and significantly derisked business model.

Building a stronger companyDuring 2008-09, we continued to build a stronger company through a number of initiatives whose impact will be progressively reflected.
Internal initiatives
We established a Rs. 1.30-crore global scale animal house which received approval from the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision on Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA).
We created an internationally-benchmarked warehousing facility with sophisticated temperature control systems for the storage of our injectables.
We established an engineering wing with electrical and mechanical workshops for proactive repair and maintenance to maximise the uptime of our manufacturing facilities.
We invested in the automation of our manufacturing sections leading to product value-addition.
External initiativesOur domestic and international businesses grew 22.19% and 28.42% over the previous year for the following reasons:
We established our offices in three more international locations, strengthened our marketing team from 450 members (March 31, 2008) to 650 members (March 31, 2009) as a result of which there is a Venus representative in each of India�s 543 districts

We introduced 21 new products in India.

We filed more than 225 dossiers in 2008-09 to enhance our presence in semi-regulated markets; a number of these dossiers were approved and we extended our footprint from 19 nations (March 31, 2008) to 60 nations (March 31, 2009).
We filed three CTDs in 2008-09 in Europe that will help us establish a presence in those regulated markets

We filed 341 patents in 50 nations.

We received the GMP certification from Iran (key player in the US$12 billion Middle East pharmaceutical market); we filed registrations for our oncology products and will address emerging demand from our German facility.

We received GMP approval from Kenya; we filed 28 dossiers in the antibiotics and oncology segments (sixteen approved); we entered into a tie-up with a leading pharmaceutical distributor.


We launched four innovative products in 2008-09.

We opened offices in Vietnam, Syria and Kenya to cater to the Middle East, African and Southeast Asian markets.

Our growth drivers in 2009-10

Contract manufacturing opportunities with leading global brands are likely to yield attractive results
Registrations approved in 19 semi-regulated markets in 2008-09 are expected to drive prospects and profitability
Launch of innovative products in India is expected to strengthen revenues
Launch of innovative products in international geographies (through marketing alliances) is likely to enhance revenues
Entry in new global geographies through regulatory approvals (namely Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Syria) is expected to grow our international busines
In-lincensing initiatives are likely to reinforce our performance.

Landmark year

At Venus, we never lose sight of reality, that we are in business to relieve people from pain through innovative products and processes.
One of our high priority areas is cancer. This is so because we fear that the world�s medical resources are inadequate for containing the spread and scale of the disease. For instance, cancer has emerged among the 10 leading death causes. An estimated 1.5 � 2 million cancer cases are present at any given point in time; an estimated 15 lakh patients require facilities for diagnosis, treatment and follow up. Some 10.9 million people across the world are diagnosed with cancer annually; this is expected to increase 50% to 15 million new cases by 2020 (source: World Cancer Report).
Our international infrastructure capabilities were endorsed in the successful in-licensing of the solid tumour detection technology from the University of Illinois. Our product (injectable) received DCGI permission to undertake Phase I clinical trials, a prestigious achievement.

The next step

We made responsible investments to prepare ourselves for the therapeutic challenges at hand. We invested significantly � Rs. 35 crore in 2008-09 � in our intellectual capital. On patent receipt, we will file detailed registration documents in three years to commercialise our products. We filed about 341 patents and received four approvals, which will accelerate. Our strong pipeline is reflected in more than 10 products being at various stages of approval with the Indian regulatory authorities. Following their approval, we need to take them across the globe through our patent applications and registration documents. More importantly, our anytime R&D pipeline of about 25 products will drive prospective growth.

Besides, we will strengthen our intellectual capital in response to the following developments:

We filed two CTDs in Europe in two high-end products in the antibiotics therapeutic segment. We expect to emerge as the first generic in that geography to capitalise on an estimated Euro 300 million market; even a 2% market share can potentially drive the Company�s growth

We in-licensed a novel Aminoglycoside (new antibiotic) with a patent right from a Chinese innovator and obtained approval for Phase III clinical trials. We filed the documents for the bulk drug and the formulation approval with the DCGI.Following approval, we will be the only company in India with this novel product, catering to a Rs. 600 crore market growing at about 8% annually.
Message to our shareholders

We are that point in our journey where we are attractively positioned to capitalise on our capability to ideate (conceptualise a road less travelled), innovate (create high-end novel products) and invest (in man, machine and markets). The result is that we expect to report a 25% year-on-year growth in our topline over three years and grow shareholder value correspondingly.Wishing all the Shareholders the very best,

Thanks & Regards,

First Indian Product Patent Granted to Venus Remedies for Potentox
Indian Patent Office (IPO), Govt of India has granted the first ever injectable FDC Product Patent of POTENTOX to one of the research products of the company. This unique combination of a Cephalosporin with Aminoglycoside is a super specialty product indicated for the
treatment of Hospital acquired pneumonia, Community acquired pneumonia and Febrile Neutropenia. This is the second patent of POTENTOX within 3 months of grant in South Korea.
A recent joint UNICEF-WHO report has drawn attention to the scourge of pneumonia. India recorded a total of 7.8 lakh pneumonia cases in 2005 and 3,513 deaths. As in many countries, Pneumonia is an under-recognized problem in India, despite the fact that pneumonia kills more than 400,000 children here each year. According to UNICEF and WHO, the country accounts for nearly 40% of global pneumonia child pneumonia cases. Pneumonia kills millions every year,
children in particular. 15 countries account for 75% of childhood pneumonia cases world wide; the number of cases in India is the highest. Though PCV vaccine is available now but it costs Rs 4,500 per dose and needs to be given to infants when they are aged 6, 10, and 14 weeks followed by a booster dose. This makes Vaccine therapy very costly and unaffordable affair for common man. POTENTOX provides a cost effective solution to all such kind of deadly diseases.
Prompt treatment of pneumonia with a full course of appropriate antibiotics was a challenge in the developing world. Venus Medicine Research Centre (VMRC) took up this challenge and studied thoroughly the bacteria responsible for pneumonia, the resistance pattern with existing therapies, reason of failures in order to find this innovative drug combination POTENTOX which shall help in
providing instant remedy for Hospital/ Community Acquired Pneumonia. The product was launched in Indian market after completion all preclinical and multicentric Phase III clinical trials on more than 300 patients after DCGI approval. Later after the launch Post Marketing Phase IV studies were also conducted to re-establish the safety of drug. The product has potential to reduce
the toxicity caused by aminoglycosides and disease condition.
Pneumonia affects nearly 4 million adults each year. Out of which About 1.2 million people are hospitalized each year for pneumonia, which is the third most frequent reason for hospitalizations.
Pneumonia carries an associated mortality of 30% to 70% (direct 27% and 50%) of total patients. HAP requires the hospital stay of 15 to 21 days and is associated with a high cost of medical care. POTENTOX shall not only provide relief to the patients in terms of early cure by reduction in treatment time and cost, but also helps in reduction in drug and disease induced toxicities, thereby
reducing side effects.
Venus had already launched POTENTOX in Indian market 2 years back. The product has already been used by more than 20,000 patients across India and has proved to be a big boon for ailing humanity. Company is in the process of out licensing and further registration of POTENTOX in different markets world wide.

VENUS OUTLICENSED “SULBACTOMAX “ TO SOUTH KOREA
SULBACTOMAX , a research product of Venus Remedies has been successfully out
licensed to one of the top 10 pharma companies in South Korea. Korean party has
been given Exclusive Marketing Rights for the whole life of patent. As per the agreementterms the product will be supplied from Venus Baddi unit, which is accredited with multipleinternational GMPs. The company has already initiated product registration process throughtheir collaborators. Commercial supplies are expected to begin early 2011.
Sulbactomax, the innovative product developed to overcome the challenge of antibioticresistance, is indicated mainly for LRTI and pre-post surgical infections caused by widerange of ESBL producing cephalosporin resistant strains. LRTI is a common condition posing a heavy economic burden to the health care system, especially when hospitalization
is required.
Post-operative Surgical Site Infections are the most common health care-associated infection, occurring in up to five per cent of surgical patients. Treatment of the infections caused by ESBL-producing organisms is difficult, not only because of the resistance to the extended-spectrum cephalosporins themselves, but also because they are often associated with resistance to other antimicrobial agents coded either by the same or different plasmids.
Sulbactomax provides solution to chronic problem of ESBL producing resistant strains by widening the antibacterial spectrum and reducing treatment time. It additionally helps in better tissue penetration and reduces drug and disease induced side effects, thereby giving better patient compliance.
South Korea’s US$14.75 billion pharmaceutical market growing at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.56%, is one of the most promising in the world. Sulbactomax will have a significant market share out of the present cephalosporin market size of US$585 million in South Korea, growing at 10% per annum.
This is first successful out licensing by Venus Medicine Research Centre. Earlier Venus Remedies has received patent of Sulbactomax from South African Patent office. Venus is searching for suitable partner in South African market also. This out licensing will open doors for other potential collaborators. With this deal Venus Remedies Limited will have a strong presence in South Korean Pharmaceutical market and the company is looking for such more deals in near future.
