There are significant differences between Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS. Accordingly, the degree to which
the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this RHP will provide meaningful information to a particular

significantly and materially affect our current plans and expectations and our future financial condition and
results of operations. Important factors that could cause actual results, including our financial conditions and
results of operations to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

• general political and economic conditions in India;


• change in government regulations;
• competition from our existing as well as new competitors; and
• our ability to compete with and adapt to technological advances.

For further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see the sections titled “Risk
Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” beginning on pages 18, 122 and 209 of this Red Herring Prospectus, respectively.

Neither our Company, its Directors and officers, any member of the Syndicate nor any of their respective
affiliates or associates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances
arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions
do not come to fruition. In accordance with SEBI requirements, the Company and the BRLMs will ensure that
investors in India are informed of material developments between the date of filing this RHP with the RoC and
the date of allotment of the Equity Shares.

SECTION 2 : RISK FACTORS

An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information
in this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an
investment in the Equity Shares of our Company. To obtain a better understanding, you should read this section
in conjunction with the sections titled “Our Business” on page 122 and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 209. If any of the following risks, or other
risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could suffer materially, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline,
and all or part of your investment may be lost.

The risks set out in this Red Herring Prospectus may not be exhaustive and additional risks and uncertainties
not presently known to us, or which we currently deem to be immaterial, may arise or may become material in
the future. Further, some events may have a material impact from a qualitative perspective rather than a
quantitative perspective and may be material collectively rather than individually. This Red Herring Prospectus
also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including the considerations described below and in the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” on page
17 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify or
quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein. Unless otherwise stated, the
financial information of the Company used in this section is derived from our restated standalone and
consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP and the Companies Act and
restated in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

Risk Factors Internal to the Company

Risks Related to Our Business

1. Our Company, one of our Subsidiaries, one of our Promoters, our Directors and group companies of Mr.
Aditya S. Handa are party to certain legal proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may
have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.
We are involved in certain legal proceedings and claims. These legal proceedings are pending at different levels
of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. We can give no assurance that these legal proceedings will
be decided in our favour. The Food Inspector has filed a criminal complaint (C.C. No. 113 of 2005) against our
Company and 6 persons, including one of our independent directors and Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, one of our
erstwhile promoters and a relative of our individual Promoter (included in our Promoter Group) and one
distributor of the company for an offense alleged to be committed under the Prevention of Food Adulteration
Act, 1954. Additionally, the Food Inspector filed a criminal case (no. PFA 167/2010) against our Company for
an offense alleged to be committed under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. These offenses are
punishable under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, with varying terms of imprisonment as well as
fines based on the nature and gravity of the offense. We may not be able to quantify all the claims in relation to
these litigations. Additionally, 7 tax demands and other government claims have been filed against our
Company amounting to Rs. 8.36 million in aggregate. All these matters are currently pending and have been
outstanding for less than five years. One of our subsidiaries is involved in 1 tax demand amounting to BRL 2.12
million i.e. approximately Rs. 54.90 million. This matter is currently pending and has been outstanding since
2009. Further, a complaint has been filed before the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at
Ahmedabad against, amongst others, the Managing Director of our Company, who is also our Promoter,
alleging grave negligence and defective goods under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
Additionally, the USFDA brought forth claims of certain regulatory non-compliances by our Company and our
subsidiary in the United States, Claris Lifesciences, Inc., in relation to the Current Good Manufacturing Practise
(“CGMP”) violations, the field alert reporting violations, the unapproved new drug violations and adverse drug
experience reporting violations. We cannot assure you that similar action will not be taken by other regulators
on account of these and other detected regulatory non-compliances. Any adverse decision may have a
significant effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The details of the outstanding
litigations are provided below:

For more information regarding all of the above litigations and tax demands and claims, see the section titled
“Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 236 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

2. One of our erstwhile promoters and relative of our individual Promoter (included in our Promoter
Group), Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, the Ex-Chairman and Managing Director of the erstwhile Core
Healthcare Limited, was included in the list of wilful defaulters, in his capacity as a director of such
company, maintained by the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited, until August 2010. Further,
there were certain criminal investigations against him relating to alleged economic offences, being
investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Furthermore, there also subsist certain criminal
investigations including an investigation initiated by the Anti Corruption Bureau, and offences under the
Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, and he was declared a proclaimed offender due to non appearance at
hearings in one such instance.
Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, one of our erstwhile promoters and a relative of our individual promoter (included in
our Promoter Group), had promoted a company, Core Healthcare Limited (“CHL”), which became unable to
repay its debt under certain term and working capital loans granted to it by various lenders, including the Bank
of Baroda (“BoB”). CHL and its directors, including Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, were included in the list of
wilful defaulters maintained by the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (“CIBIL”) for loan default of Rs.
25 lacs and above at the behest of BoB. With effect from August 12, 2010, Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa’s name
stands removed from the list of wilfull defaulters by CIBIL.

ARCIL took over the possession of CHL’s assets in 2005 u/s 13(2) of SARFAESI. Subsequently, the Gujarat
High Court, by its order dated March 1, 2007, sanctioned a scheme of demerger of the erstwhile CHL and
transferred the Sachana unit to Nirma Limited. The Rajpur unit was subsequently sold by ARCIL in the year
2008. CHL was subsequently wound up by an Order of the Gujarat High Court dated June 24, 2009.

However, during the pendency of the above settlement, the Central Bureau of Investigation initiated certain
investigations against the erstwhile CHL and Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa in his capacity as the Chairman and
Managing Director of CHL alleging misappropriation of funds disbursed to the erstwhile CHL by certain
lenders. In this matter, CBI has submitted its final closure report bearing no. 05/2009/EOU-1 dated October 12,
2009 under Section 173 of the Cr. P.C before the court of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Tis Hazari Court,
New Delhi, which was accepted by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (South Extension), New
Delhi, in its order dated April 26, 2010, and the matter stands closed.

Additionally, certain complaints and proceedings were filed before the Additional Principal City Sessions and
Special Judge Court, Ahmedabad and the Anti Corruption Bureau, Ahmedabad commenced investigations in the
matter. The above proceedings are pending as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Furthermore, there are certain criminal cases pending under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 against Mr.
Sushil Kumar Handa, relating to product liability, on account of various products allegedly being of substandard
quality, adulterated and failing to comply with statutorily prescribed quality standards. He was declared as a
proclaimed offender due to non appearance at hearings in one such instance.

19
For more details on these proceedings, please refer page 246 to 250 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
3. Core Healthcare Limited, a Company promoted by Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, one of our erstwhile
promoters and a relative of our individual Promoter (included in our Promoter Group), is listed on
www.watchoutinvestors.com in relation to certain regulatory non-compliances, on account of which
regulatory action and penalties have been initiated and imposed by SEBI for certain violations of
securities laws, by the BSE and NSE for certain violations of the listing agreement, and by the CDSL and
NSDL in relation to dematerialization requests .
Core Healthcare Limited (“CHL”), a company promoted by Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, one of our erstwhile
promoters and a relative of our individual Promoter (included in our Promoter Group), is listed on the Ministry
of Corporate Affairs’ sponsored site www.watchoutinvestors.com for certain violations of securities and other
laws. The regulatory charges and actions listed against CHL include:
• A contravention of section 15C of the SEBI Act, 1992 on account of failure to redress investor grievances.
In letters dated July 30, 2004 and September 2, 2004, SEBI informed CHL that 81 investor complaints were
pending against it for a period of more than six months. SEBI passed an order dated November 28, 2004,
for initiation of adjudication proceedings in relation to the company’s failure to address investor grievances.
A show cause notice dated December 4, 2004, was sent to CHL in relation to the 81 investor complaints
wherein the company was asked to show cause as to why an enquiry should not be commenced against it
and why no penalty should be imposed. The company appeared for hearing on January 25, 2005 and
February 10, 2005 in relation to the show cause notice. On an analysis of the complaints, the adjudicating
officer of relevant jurisdiction found that a majority of complaints related to non-payment of interest on
debentures and redemption amounts. Certain complaints were also pending in relation to non-issue of share
certificates. Due to the lack of response by CHL in relation to investor complaints, a penalty of Rs. 100,000
was imposed. Subsequently, on appeal by CHL, the Securities Appellate Tribunal reduced the penalty to
Rs. 50,000 by an order dated December 14, 2005.
• Penalty imposed by SEBI for failure to appoint common share registrar for handling share registry work of
demat and physical securities.
• Suspension of trading of its securities on BSE and NSE for non-compliance with the listing agreement(s).
• Notices from CDSL and NSDL in relation to pending dematerialisation requests.
• Public notice from BSE and NSE for various non-compliances such as non-submission of corporate
governance report, failure to submit shareholding patterns.

4. We are susceptible to product liability claims and associated risks of litigation that could expose us to
material liabilities, loss in revenues and increased expenses and thus may have a material adverse effect
on our business and financial condition. Failure to obtain product liability insurance may result in our
Company being compelled to pay substantial sums.
We face the risk of loss resulting from, and the adverse publicity associated with, product liability lawsuits,
especially in the regulated markets, including the United States. For FY 2009, our revenue from regulated
markets accounted for 18.97% of our total sales. For the five months ended May 2010, our revenue from
regulated markets accounted for 36.06% of our total sales.

We may also be subject to claims resulting from manufacturing defects or negligence in storage and handling
leading to the deterioration of our pharmaceutical products. For example, our products sold by our distributors
may have expired or cause side-effects to consumers or lack adequate efficacy. Moreover, since many of our
products are directly injected into the blood-stream of the person, the consequences of expired or faulty
pharmaceutical products are significantly more harmful for human health. In foreign jurisdictions, such as the
United States, in which we intend to expand further for future sale and distribution of our products, precedents
show that the quantum of damages, especially punitive, awarded in cases of product liability is extremely high.
Deterioration in our quality controls could also result in product liability claims against us. Our contracts with
our distributors and business partners require us to indemnify the opposite party for any losses suffered by them
due to any inherent defects in products supplied by us.

Actual or claimed defects in our Company’s manufacturing facilities and/or pharmaceutical quality could give
rise to claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, relating to loss of life, personal injury, damage to property, damage
to equipment and facilities, pollution, inefficient operating processes, loss of production or suspension of
operations. Some of our suppliers limit their pecuniary liability for defective supplies with contractual ceilings
on their obligation to indemnify us in the event of any losses suffered by us on account of the same. In addition,
certain contracts stipulate that our suppliers shall be responsible only in case of gross negligence or wilful

20
misconduct attributable to them. If a supplier fails to meet quality standards, it could expose us to the risk of
product liability claims. Moreover, defending claims against our Company diverts the management’s time,
adversely affects our reputation and the marketability of our products. The consequential liabilities and costs
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the event that we are called upon by the other contracting party to make good a loss suffered by that party
arising from inherent defects of products supplied by us, we may not be able to do so upon demand and may be
subject to further claim for damages from the other party. In regulated markets especially, the chances of
damages being awarded for compensation on account of defective products is considerable, whereas, the cost of
defending such claims is high. Even unsuccessful product liability claims would likely require us to spend
money on litigation, divert management’s time, damage our reputation and impair the marketability of our
products. Our failure to obtain product liability insurance may result in our Company being compelled to pay
substantial sums. Our Company is party to several product liability claims on account of alleged defective
products, negligence and unfair trade practices on the part of our Company. At present, the following product
liability suits are pending against us:

• Mr. Korat Kuldip Vatsalkumar through his father, Mr. Korat Vatsalkumar J. and Rajkot Seher / Jilla Grahak
Suraksha Mandal, (the “Plaintiffs”) have filed a complaint before the Consumer Disputes Redressal State
Commission, at Ahmedabad being Complaint No. 58 of 2008 against (1) the Managing Director of our
Company and (2) Krishna Medical Stores, Sabarkantha alleging grave negligence and defective goods
under the provisions of Section 2(1)(f) and (g) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
• Ms. Kalavati Devi has filed a consumer complaint bearing complaint no. 855/09 against our Company
before the District Consumer Protection Forum, Jaipur, alleging that her husband expired due to negligence
and unfair trade practice of our Company.
• A consumer case (Case No. 162/06) has been filed against our Company before the Consumer Dispute
Redressal Forum (“the Forum”) at Akola by Dr. Satyanarayan Agarwal for the refund of a cost of machine
bought by the doctor. The case of the complainant was dismissed by the Forum and an appeal against such
dismissal has been preferred by the Complainant before the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission.
• Mr. M. H. Zaidy along with his mother viz., Mrs. M. A. Zaidy (the patient), filed a Complaint bearing
Consumer Case No. 1267 of 2008 before the District Consumer Forum at Sangli, wherein it was contended,
among other things, that the CAPD bags supplied by us contained fungus, foreign bodies and hair and other
substances harmful to the patient.

The total amount involved in these product liability claims is Rs. 5,820,000. For further details, please refer
page 237 and 238 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

5. The USFDA issued a warning letter to us pursuant to an inspection carried out at our manufacturing
facilities at Ahmedabad. Such warnings and any future warnings to us and/or in relation to our products
has had and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations,
as well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.
The USFDA carried out an inspection at our manufacturing facilities at Ahmedabad, in addition to earlier
inspections carried out at the premises of our wholly owned subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc., subsequent to
which a warning letter dated November 1, 2010 (the “Warning Letter”) was issued to us mentioning the
following:

• The Company violated the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“CGMP”) regulations for Finished
Pharmaceuticals (Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations), which caused our drug products to be
adulterated within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDC Act”).
• We failed to submit field alert reports to the USFDA in order to comply with the USFDA regulations
as required under the FFDC Act.
• Based on a review of the labeling/misbranding of Sodium Bicarbonate Injection drug products
manufactured by us and marketed through our subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc., we had marketed,
introduced or delivered for introduction an unapproved new drug product into inter-state commerce
within the United States, which was in violation of the provisions of the FFDC Act and was subject to
an import detention in the United States.
• Violations of the post-marketing adverse drug experience reportings; which are required under the
Code of Federal Regulations as well as the FFDC Act.
• Despite various responses from us and Claris Lifesciences, Inc., to the USFDA in relation to the CGMP
violations, the field alert reporting violations, the unapproved new drug violations and adverse drug

21
experience reporting violations, the USFDA has stated in the Warning Letter that these responses lack
sufficient corrective actions.

Additionally, the USFDA requested for information relating to the discontinuance of certain of our products
including, amongst others, Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Ondansetron, Fluconazole and Levofloxacin, by way
of the Warning Letter. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010, the revenue from the sale of our
products, both international and domestic, from these products amounted to Rs. 451.43 million constituting
13.9% of our total consolidated revenue during that period.

The Warning Letter is available on the website of the USFDA at


http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm233010.htm and is available for inspection
at the Registered Office of our Company, as set out in the section titled “Material Contracts and Documents for
Inspection” on page 336 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

A non-compliance of the FFDC Act may result in the FDA issuing warning letters, filing injunctions, seizing
our products and pursuing civil and criminal prosecution for violations of the Act. Under applicable Unites
States law, individuals who violate the Act can be fined $100,000 per count ($250,000 if a death occurs) and
corporations can be fined USD 200,000 per count (U.S. $500,000 if a death occurs). Jail time can result if
convicted of the criminal charges, corporations can be excluded from participating in Federal Health Care
Programs and if serious enough violations occur, individuals and firms may be debarred (excluded from
working in the pharmaceutical industry). We cannot assure you that any penalty imposed by the USFDA will
not exceed the amounts quantified in this paragraph.

We cannot ensure that no legal proceedings will be brought against us in the future in connection with such
warnings, and any future warnings to us and/or in relation to our products. Further, such warnings, and any
future warnings to us and/or in relation to our products may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations as well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.

6. The USFDA imposed an import alert on us and our products pursuant to receipt of a number of
complaints, in relation to certain of our products, by us and certain of our partners, which is subsisting.
Such import alert, and any future import alerts to us and/or in relation to our products, has had and may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as adversely
affect our reputation and the demand for our products.

We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products, namely,
ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and ondansetron that were contaminated or suspected to be contaminated; pursuant
to which, the USFDA imposed an import alert on us and our products, which is subsisting. As a result, we are
unable to sell our products in the United States until the import alert is withdrawn. Our revenue from the sale of
our products in the United States during the five month period ended May 31, 2010 amounted to Rs. 95.08
million, which constituted 2.93% of our total consolidated revenue during this period. The import alert
notification is available on the website of the USFDA at
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cms_ia/importalert_189.html.

The present import alert and/or any future import alerts to us and/or in relation to our products may have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as adversely affect our
reputation and the demand for our products.

7. The registration of our Company and its products were suspended by the Drug and Food Control,
Ministry of Health, State of Kuwait. Such suspension and/or any future suspensions to us and/or in
relation to our products has had and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations as well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.
Pursuant to the recommendation by the USFDA and the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting no. 49, the
registration of the Company and its products were suspended by the Drug and Food Control, Ministry of Health,
State of Kuwait from June 8, 2010 till August 22, 2010, as a result of which the Company’s products were not
marketed in Kuwait during that period.

We cannot ensure that no legal proceedings will be brought against us in Kuwait in the future in connection with
the administration or use of these products, or the suspension of the registration of the Company or its products,

22
which may in turn result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations as
well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.

8. We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products
pursuant to which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from certain
countries. Such complaints and/or recalls, and any future complaints and/or recalls to us and/or in
relation to our products has had and may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations as well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.
We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products, namely,
ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and ondansetron that were contaminated or suspected to be contaminated; pursuant
to which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from the United States, Denmark,
Finland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The recalls were initiated by us and by certain of our partners in
Australia and the United States pursuant to receipt of complaints of contamination in some of our products,
which could have posed risks if administered to patients, and in certain circumstances, could prove to be fatal.
We cannot assure you that similar action will not be taken by other regulators on account of these and other
detected regulatory non-compliances.

The cost of the recall for the five month period ended May 31, 2010 amounted to Rs. 74.35 million in aggregate,
including the cost of product replacement of Rs. 55.01 million and the write-offs of affected inventory of Rs.
19.34 million. The revenues from the recalled products comprised 3.68% of our aggregate revenues i.e. Rs.
119.44 million, and 66.14% of our revenues from the jurisdictions where the products were recalled, i.e., Rs.
116.95 million for the five month period ended May 31, 2010. We cannot ensure that no legal proceedings will
be brought against us in the future in connection with the administration or use of the recalled products. There
can be no assurance that such complaints and/or recalls, and any future complaints and/or recalls in relation to
us and/or in relation to our products may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations as well as adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products.

9. Our business is dependent on approvals from both Indian and foreign governmental authorities and
health regulatory bodies. If there is any failure or delay in obtaining necessary permits or approvals, or if
such permits or approvals are revoked or we fail to renew them for any reason, our business, financial
condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We require product registrations, marketing authorisations and other approvals granted by Indian and various
foreign governmental authorities and health regulatory bodies. The cost of acquiring such authorisations and
approvals is substantial. Governmental authorities in India, the United States, Europe and other countries
regulate research, development, manufacture, and testing to ensure the safety of pharmaceutical products. The
regulations applicable to our existing and future products may change. There can be long delays in obtaining
required clearances from regulatory authorities in any country after applications are filed. Our products, as well
as the facilities where we manufacture them, require extensive testing, government reviews and approvals
before they can be marketed. Whether or not a product is approved in India, regulatory authorities in many of
the markets to which we export products must approve that product before we can begin to market it in those
countries. The time required to obtain such approvals may be longer than we anticipate. Any failure or delay in
obtaining regulatory approvals, or any implementation of new standards or conditions that have to be met in
order to obtain such approvals, could impact the marketing of our products and, in turn, affect our financial
condition and results of operations. The Company’s sterile injectable manufacturing facility, Clarion I, received
approval from the USFDA in March 2007. In March 2010, the Company also received a letter from the USFDA
in relation to the approval of its aseptic manufacturing line in Clarion I. The USFDA had previously informed
the Company of certain deficiencies in the facilities for which the Company provided explanations. These
explanations were accepted by the USFDA subject to the next routine inspection. Failure by us to renew,
maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the interruption of our operations and may
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our manufacturing expansion plans require various government and statutory approvals. Any delay in getting
these approvals or inability to obtain them may adversely affect the implementation of such projects, resulting in
a cost and time overrun, and accordingly adversely affect our operations and profitability.

10. The success of our strategy of expanding presence in regulated markets is dependent on a number of
factors, some of which are beyond our control. Failure to expand our presence in such markets could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

23
One of our business strategies is to expand our sales and distribution activities in a number of markets which are
considered to be heavily regulated, including the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia. The success of
such expansion is dependent upon our obtaining the approval of the USFDA and other regulatory authorities for
the products which we intend to sell, as well as timely renewal of existing accreditations. Any change in foreign
governments or in foreign governmental policies, regulations, practices or focus that results in a slowdown or
inability to obtain government approvals or product registrations could adversely affect this strategy, which in
turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, our growth strategy in the regulated markets may not result in additional revenue or operating
income as anticipated. The costs involved in expanding our presence in these markets may be higher than
expected and we may face significant competition in these regions. Furthermore, regulated markets such as the
United States and Europe have experienced significant decreases in recent years in the prices of generic
formulations, as well as strong competition among local and international players. Continuous price erosion
could adversely affect our sales revenue and profit potential in these regulated markets. These, as well as other
changes in our business environment, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

11. Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed on us by our financing agreements could
adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.
As of May 31, 2010, we had total indebtedness aggregating to Rs. 3,705.22 million comprising exclusively of
secured loans. Our ratio of debt and equity as at May 31, 2010 amounted to 0.65:1. Post this issue, our equity
base will further increase, and we may avail additional debt in the future. The number of Equity Shares held by
our Promoters, Mr. Arjun S. Handa and Sarjan Financial Private Limited, immediately post listing of our
Company’s Equity Shares on the Stock Exchange would be 7,800,507 Equity Shares and 23,780,172 Equity
Shares, respectively. Our indebtedness could have several important consequences, including but not limited to,
the following:

• failure to meet debt obligations could put us in default under our financing arrangements, which could lead
to cross-defaults under other arrangements or cause the maturity of obligations to be accelerated;
• a portion of our cash flow will be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will reduce the
availability of cash to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general
corporate requirements;
• our ability to obtain additional financing in the future at reasonable terms may be restricted;
• fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as some of our loans are at
variable interest rates; and
• we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to withstand competitive
pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business, regulatory and economic
conditions.

Most of our financing arrangements are secured by our movable and immoveable assets. For further details,
please refer to the section titled “Financial Information” on page 208 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our
accounts receivable and inventories are subject to charges created in favour of specific secured lenders. Many of
our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require us to obtain lenders’
consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. For example, we may
require lenders’ consent before we may:

• create any charge, encumbrance or otherwise dispose of or remove assets offered as security,
• declare any dividend on our share capital except out of profits relating to that year after making all due and
necessary provisions and we should not have failed to meet our obligations to pay the interest and/or
commission and/or instalment or other money payable to the said bank,
• make any major change in the management involving transfer of ownership; and
• enter into any scheme of merger, amalgamation, reconstruction or consolidation or any scheme of
arrangement or compromise for the benefit of our creditors.

Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences for our business.
Specifically, we must seek, and may be unable to obtain, lenders’ consents to incur additional debt, change our
capital structure, increase or modify our capital expenditure plans, create additional charges on or further
encumber our assets or merge with or acquire other companies, whether or not there is any failure by us to
comply with the other terms of such agreements.

24
Compliance with the various terms of our loans is, however, subject to interpretation and we cannot assure you
that we have requested or received all consents from our lenders that would be advisable under our financing
documents. As a result, it is possible that a lender could assert that we have not complied with all the terms
under our financing documents. Any failure to service our indebtedness, comply with a requirement to obtain a
consent or perform any condition or covenant could lead to a termination of one or more of our credit facilities,
acceleration of amounts due under such facilities and cross-defaults under certain of our other financing
agreements, any of which may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

12. If we do not successfully commercialise our products under development, or if our commercialisation is
delayed, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our future results of operations depend, to a significant degree, upon our ability to successfully commercialise
additional products in our key therapeutic areas. To develop our product pipeline, we commit substantial efforts,
funds and other resources towards research and development. Our planned investments in new plant and
equipment for future expansion could result in higher costs, especially in the event of cost overruns, without a
proportionate increase in revenues. If we are unable to develop and manufacture new products or if the
commercialisation of our new products is delayed, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may be adversely affected.

13. Our success is dependent on our distribution and marketing arrangements, including the one with Pfizer,
for the sale and distribution of our products and on our relationship with our customers. If any of these
arrangements is terminated for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations
may be adversely affected.
We have been marketing our products in 75 countries worldwide as well as in the domestic market. We market
and distribute our products to hospitals through third parties by way of marketing, distribution and agency
arrangements. These arrangements may be terminated by either party providing the other with notice of the
termination; or upon breach of contractual obligations or change in management or control; or when the contract
regarding the arrangement expires. We may not be able to renegotiate these third party arrangements on
reasonable terms or find suitable partners in the future.

The success of our business relies, in part, on relationships with our customers, which are mainly hospitals. A
deterioration of our relationship with such hospitals, either through the termination of the abovementioned
arrangements or otherwise, may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

We have entered into a business arrangement with Pfizer whereby we license certain products to Pfizer, and
Pfizer markets, distributes and sells them in certain regulated markets. The arrangement with Pfizer covers
markets in the United States of America, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany,
Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta,
Netherland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, United
Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. For more details of the arrangement with Pfizer, see “Our
Business – Overview – Our Competitive Strengths – Established sales, marketing and distribution network
across 76 countries, Our Business – Sales, Marketing and Distribution Network” at page 124.
If this business arrangement or any of the abovementioned arrangements is terminated for any reason, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

14. While our Company has compounded certain offences under the Companies Act in the past, there may
still subsist certain non-compliances which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Our Company had filed four petitions under Section 621A of the Companies Act with the Company Law Board
and a petition under the same section with the Regional Director, Western Region Ministry of Company Affairs
in connection with compounding of certain irregularities/defaults under the Companies Act. The brief
particulars of the orders passed are as follows.

December 31, 2003

There were procedural lapses relating to the appointment of a consultant related to Directors of our Company,
pursuant to Section 314(1B) of the Companies Act. The consultancy fees paid to the said consultant has been
refunded, on the knowledge of the said lapse. For further details, please refer to the section titled “Outstanding
Litigation and Material Developments” on page 236 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

While our Company has sought to address these non-compliances of the Companies Act by filing the aforesaid
compounding applications, the Company Law Board and the Regional Director may not have compounded each
instance of non-compliance. Further, there may still subsist certain non-compliances of the Companies Act by
our Company. Any subsisting non-compliances by the Company may individually, or in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

15. Although our Company has multiple manufacturing plants, they are all located at a single facility, and
all of the Company’s manufactured products are produced from such facility in village Chacharwadi
Vasana, Taluka Sanand, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Any delay in production at, or shutdown of, these
facilities may in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
Although our Company has multiple manufacturing plants, they are all located at a single facility, and all of the
Company’s manufactured products are produced from such facility in village Chacharwadi Vasana, Taluka
Sanand, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. If the Company experiences delays in production or shutdowns at any or all of

26
these facilities due to any reason, including disruptions caused by disputes with its workforce or due to its
employees forming a trade union, the Company’s operations will be significantly affected, which in turn would
have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

16. Our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected in the event of increases in the price
of raw materials, fuel costs, labour or other inputs, and our pharmaceutical contracts are dependent on
adequate and timely supply of key raw materials.
The cost of raw materials, fuel, labour and other inputs constitutes a significant part of our total expenses. Our
pharmaceutical manufacturing operations require various pharmaceutical raw materials such as APIs and
packing material. Energy costs for operating our plants and other equipment also constitute a significant part of
our operating expenses. Our ability to pass on increases in the purchase price of raw materials, fuel and other
inputs may be limited in the case of fixed-price contracts or contracts with limited price escalation provisions.
Under the terms and conditions of our contracts, we generally agree to provide products for a fixed price for a
defined time period. While we generally fix the price for such raw materials in our contracts with our suppliers,
certain of these contracts contain provisions which allow an increase in price upon the occurrence of specific
events.

Our actual expense may vary substantially from the assumptions underlying our fixed price contractual
commitment for several reasons, including:
• unanticipated increases in the cost of raw materials, fuel, labour or other inputs;
• unforeseen distribution conditions, including the inability of our Company or the distributor to obtain
requisite approvals, product registrations and marketing authorisations, resulting in delays and increased
costs; and
• suppliers’, distributors’ or subcontractors’ failure to perform.

Timely and cost-effective execution of our contracts is dependant on the adequate and timely supply of key raw
materials. A majority of our contracts with suppliers are short term in nature and generally do not exceed five
years in their term. Moreover, our supply contracts permit termination by either party providing the other with
notice of intended termination or upon breach of contractual obligations, change in management or control or
when the supply contract expires. We may not be able to renegotiate these supply contracts on reasonable terms
or find suitable alternative suppliers in the future, which may affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.

Risk Factors Specific to the Project

17. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to use the Net Proceeds of the Issue. Further, the
utilisation of the Issue proceeds is not subject to monitoring by any independent agency.
We intend to use the Net Proceeds of the Issue for setting up manufacturing facilities, utility infrastructure,
setting up of research and development facilities, prepayment of an identified term loan and general corporate
purpose. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to utilise the Net Proceeds of the Issue. The
purposes for which the Net Proceeds are to be utilised have not been appraised by an independent entity and are
based on our estimates and on third-party quotations. In addition, our capital expenditure plans are subject to a
number of variables, including possible cost overruns and changes in management’s views of the desirability of
current plans, among others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to conclude definitive agreements
on commercially acceptable terms. Furthermore, we have currently not placed any orders for plant and
machinery in relation to our expansion programme sought to be funded by the Net Proceeds of the Issue. The
value of such plant and machinery is estimated at Rs. 1,433.78 million. In addition, the cost of certain plant and
machinery in relation of our expansion programme may escalate due to them being imported and due to being
subject to foreign exchange fluctuations. For further details on the above, see the section titled “Objects of the
Issue” on page 88 of this Red Herring Prospectus. As a result, our planned use of the proceeds of the Issue, or
the estimated price of plant and machinery relating to such expansion plans, may change.

Other Risks Related to Our Business

18. We have issued Equity Shares in the year prior to the date of the Red Herring Prospectus and the price
of such Equity Shares may be lower than the Issue Price.
We have issued Equity Shares to our shareholders, through the conversion of preference shares held by them, in
the year prior to the date of the Red Herring Prospectus at a price that may be lower than the Issue Price. Details

27
of such issuances are in the table set out in the section titled “Capital Structure” on page 72 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.

19. Certain of our Subsidiaries, Group Companies and group companies of Mr. Aditya S. Handa have

20. We experienced net negative cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the five month period
ended May 31, 2010. Any negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial condition.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we had a net negative cash flow of Rs. 620.04 million. Further,
for the five month period ended May 31, 2010, we had a net negative cash flow of Rs. 807.31 million. If we
experience any negative cash flow in the future, this could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition. For further details, please refer to the section titled “Financial Information” on page 208 of
this Red Herring Prospectus.

30
21. Contingent liabilities, if crystallized, and/or the performance of our commitments and obligations could
adversely affect the financial condition of our Company since there is no provision made in the books of
accounts of our Company.
Our contingent liabilities as on May 31, 2010 were as follows:
(Rs. in million)
Nature of liability Amount
Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debts in respect of sales tax and other matters 86.16
Guarantees given by the bankers on behalf of the Company 8.50
Disputed demand under income tax 7.06
Bills discounted 263.19
Letters of credit outstanding 676.27
Total 1041.18

If any of these contingent liabilities materialise, fully or partly, the financial condition of our Company could be
materially and adversely affected.

Our commitments and obligations as on May 31, 2010 were as follows:

(Rs. in million)
Particulars of commitments and obligations Amount
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for 219.04
Outstanding obligation to export goods within the stipulated period as per the export promotional 459.93 (1)
capital goods scheme, failing which, additional customs duty payable would amount to
Total 678.97

Our performance of the commitments and obligations set out above may materially and adversely affect our
financial condition or results of operations.

(1) For a break-up of the export obligation on a year on year basis, on standalone and consolidated basis,
please see the financial statements on pages F-12 and F-51 respectively of the Red Herring Prospectus.

For more information regarding our contingent liabilities, and commitments and obligations, please refer to the
section titled “Financial Information” on page 208 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

22. A significant portion of our income is dependent on sales of propofol. If the sales volume or pricing of
such product declines in the future, or if we can no longer sell propofol under the “Profol” brand, our
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Sales of propofol constituted approximately 14.84% of our gross sales for the financial year ended
December 31, 2009 and for the five month period ended May 31, 2010 the sale of propofol constituted
approximately 12.52% of our gross sales. As a result of increased competition, pricing pressures or fluctuation
in the demand or supply of this product, the Company’s sales and margins from this product may decline in the
future. Propofol is marketed by our Company, namely, under the brand name of “Profol”. “Profol” is not
registered as a trademark of the Company and there is ongoing litigation with another party with regard to the
use of such name. For further details, please refer to the section titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” on page 236 of this Red Herring Prospectus. If the sales volume or pricing of such product
declines in the future, or if we are unable to use the name “Profol” in the future, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

23. We are dependent upon the experience and skill of our management team and key employees. If we are
unable to attract and retain qualified personnel, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
We are dependent on our management team and key employees, including our scientific staff, for the smooth
running of our business. We may not be able to continuously attract qualified personnel or retain such personnel

31
on acceptable terms, given the rising demand for such personnel and compensation levels among pharmaceutical
and healthcare companies, universities and research institutions. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified
personnel, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

24. Timely and successful implementation of our contracts, including our business arrangements, is
dependent upon our performance and, in case of certain contracts, cooperation from our sub-
contractors. Delay or failure in delivery of our products, whether on our part or on the part of a sub-
contractor, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Contracts with our clients and others require us to supply our products in compliance with specific delivery
schedules. Our failure to adhere to contractually agreed timelines may have the following consequences:
• delayed payment to us for our products;
• liquidated damages may become payable by us;
• performance guarantees may be invoked against us;
• claims may be brought against us for losses suffered as a result of our non-performance;
• our client(s) may terminate our contract(s); and
• our reputation may be damaged.

Failure on our part to deliver our products on a timely basis or at all, for any reason, could result in one or a
number of the above listed consequences, which in turn may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

Our licensing and supply agreements with partners, including our business arrangement with Pfizer, contain
provisions that require us to provide such partners with certain quantities of our products. Any interruption in
the supply by third party suppliers of raw materials, or any disruptions in production at our manufacturing
facilities, could result in our failure to supply certain quantities of our products and in breaches of our
contractual obligations with such partners. Pursuant to our arrangement with Pfizer, in the event that we fail to
supply specified quantities of licensed products, Pfizer would have the right to manufacture such licensed
products. Should we fail to meet specified supply levels, our business, financial condition and results of
operations may be adversely affected.

In the case of certain contracts, we sub-contract part of the work to sub-contractors and distributors. Namely, we
use the services of sub-contractors to process packaging materials and complete contract manufacturing. In
those instances, the performance of the contract for our client or distributor depends partly on our performance
and partly on that of our sub-contractors. Delay or failure on the part of a sub-contractor to complete its work,
for any reason, could also result in one or a number of the above listed consequences. Additionally, our sub-
contractors may not have adequate financial resources to meet their indemnity obligations to us. The occurrence
of any of these possibilities may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

25. Certain necessary approvals for marketing our products in foreign territories are neither in our name
nor in the name of our Subsidiaries. In the event that we are unable to acquire entities holding these
registrations in time or at all or if the parties that are holding such approvals default in transferring the
approvals, we would not be able to market our products in those countries, which in turn would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The local laws in certain countries impose restrictions on the grant of product registrations. These laws compel
us to enter into agreements with distributors and/or acquire subsidiaries holding these registrations, authorising
the distributor or the subsidiary, as the case may be to obtain the necessary approvals in their name. In relation
to our distributors, we have a stipulation that they are to transfer the registrations either to us or to an entity
nominated by us on the termination of the primary marketing or distribution agreements. However, there is no
guarantee that these distributors will transfer the approvals in the stipulated manner upon termination of the
relevant marketing or distribution agreement.

Out of 75 countries to which the Company exports its products, in 17 countries, the necessary approvals for
marketing our products are held by third party entities. These entities contributed 11.14% to our aggregate
revenues in the year ended December 31, 2009 and 11.47% for the five month period ended May 31, 2010. In
the event that these parties default in transferring these approvals, we would not be able to market our products
in those countries, which in turn would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. Furthermore, if we are unable to acquire subsidiaries on reasonable terms or at all, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

32
26. We may not be able to correctly assess the demand for our products, which may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our production and distribution processes require us to anticipate the demand for our products based on the
feedback received from our own marketing personnel as well as our distributors. Accurate assessment of market
demand requires significant investment in the creation of a sales and marketing network and training of
marketing personnel. There is no guarantee that our estimate of market demand in India or in foreign countries
will be accurate. In the event that we overestimate the demand for our products, we will have expended
resources in manufacturing excess products, taxes on manufacture, export costs, insurance costs, distribution
expenses, storage and warehousing and other allied expenditures. Our products have a limited expiry period and
in the event of excess production, we might have to bear the cost of expiry and destruction of these goods. In the
event that we underestimate the market demand, we will have lost out on sales opportunities that our
competitors will capitalise on and thereby increase their respective market shares. Any incorrect assessment of
the demand for our products may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

27. If we fail to keep pace with advancements in technology in the pharmaceutical industry, create new
intellectual property, or respond to changes in market demand or client requirements, our business and
financial results could be adversely affected.
The pharmaceutical industry is characterised by frequent advancements in technology fuelled by high expenses
incurred on research and development. To meet our clients’ needs as well as keep pace with our competitors, we
regularly update existing technology and acquire or develop new technology for our pharmaceutical
manufacturing activities. In addition, rapid and frequent advancements in technology and market demand
changes can often render existing technologies and equipment obsolete, requiring substantial new capital
expenditures and/or write-downs of assets. Our competitors may have filed patent applications, or hold patents,
relating to products or processes which compete with those we are developing, or their patents may impair our
ability to do business in a particular geographic area. We have been granted three patents and have fifteen patent
applications pending in India. There is no guarantee that our pending applications will result in any patent being
granted, or that the patents we have been granted will result in the commercialisation of products. In the future,
we may not be able to obtain valuable intellectual property rights as we may not have the resources to
continually improve our technology by investing in research and development. For more information relating to
our research and development, please see the section titled “Our Business” on page 122 of this Red Herring
Prospectus. Our failure to anticipate or to respond adequately to advancements in technology, changes in market
demand or client requirements could adversely affect our business and financial results.

28. We operate in a competitive business environment, both globally and domestically. Competition from
existing players and new entrants and consequent pricing pressures may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in a competitive business environment. Growing competition in the domestic and/or the
international markets may subject us to pricing pressures and require us to reduce the prices of our products and
services in order to retain or attract customers, which may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
margins. While we are focused on research and development to develop cost and time efficiencies and to
broaden our product range, in the event our competitors develop better process technology or improved process
yield or are able to source raw materials at competitive prices, and are therefore able to create new products or
substitutes for our products at competitive prices, we may not be able to maintain our growth rate and revenues
and our profitability may decline. We presently compete with various companies, including the Baxter group,
the Fresenius group, the Hospira group and the B. Braun group, in both domestic and international markets. For
more information concerning our competition, please see the section titled “Our Business” on page 122 of this
Red Herring Prospectus. Some of our competitors may be increasing their capacities and targeting the same
products as us. Some of our competitors, especially multinational pharmaceutical companies, have greater
experience in various facets of the business as compared to us and may be able to develop or acquire technology
or partner with innovators or customers at terms which are not presently feasible for us due to our current scale
of operations. We may be unable to compete with other pharmaceutical companies for complex, high-value
contracts as well as contracts and tenders that are of comparatively lesser value. There can be no assurance that
we can continue to effectively compete with our competitors in the future, and failure to compete effectively
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

29. Our Company is involved in certain tax demands and claims. Any adverse decision in such demands may
have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and results of operations.

33
Our Company is involved in 12 tax matters and other government claims amounting to Rs. 12.05 million in
aggregate. These include seven demands raised by the tax authorities against the Company, wherein the
aggregate liability as on date of filing this Red Herring Prospectus stands at Rs. 8.36 million, and five demands
against which our Company has appealed aggregating to Rs. 3.69 million. All these matters are currently
pending. Any adverse decision may have a significant effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. For more information regarding all of the above tax demands and claims, see the section titled
“Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 236 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

30. We have high working capital requirements. If we experience insufficient cash flows to allow us to make
required payments on our debt or fund working capital requirements or if we are not able to provide
collateral to obtain letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds in sufficient quantities,
there may be an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business requires a significant infusion of working capital. In certain cases, significant amounts of working
capital are required to finance the purchase of materials and the performance of manufacturing, distribution and
other work before payments are received from our clients.

Our working capital requirements may increase if, under certain contracts, payment terms do not include
advance payments or such contracts have payment schedules that shift payments toward the end of a contract or
otherwise increases our working capital burdens. In addition, our working capital requirements have increased
in recent years due to the growth of our Company’s business. All of these factors may result, and have resulted,
in increases in our working capital needs.

It is customary in the industry in which we operate to provide bank guarantees or performance bonds in favour
of government authorities and government hospitals to secure tenders. In addition, letters of credit are often
required to satisfy payment obligations to suppliers and sub-contractors. If we are unable to provide sufficient
collateral to secure the letters of credit, bank guarantees or performance bonds, our ability to obtain tenders and
enter into new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be limited. Providing security to obtain letters of
credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working capital needs. We may not be able to
continue obtaining letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds in sufficient quantities to match our
business requirements. Any such situation would adversely affect our business and results of operations. For
further details, please refer to the section titled “Financial Information” on page 208 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.

31. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary information, or if we infringe the
intellectual property rights of others, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
As at September 30, 2010, we owned 154 registered trademarks and 3 patents. We may not always be able to
safeguard the same from infringement or passing off, both domestically and internationally, since our operations
are spread over several countries and we may not be able to respond to infringement or passing off activity
occurring without our knowledge. Further, due to our marketing and distribution activities in many parts of the
world, we may manufacture or sell products that infringe intellectual property rights of others. This will subject
us to potentially high-value claims for infringement. Our insurance cover may not extend to these claims or
sufficiently cover them. Moreover initiating or defending claims made by or against our Company diverts the
management’s time, adversely affects our reputation and the marketability of our products as well as increases
our costs. For more information relating to our intellectual property and to legal proceedings relating to it, filed
by our Company as well as against our Company, please see the section titled “Our Business” and “Outstanding
Litigation and Material Developments” on pages 122 and 236, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus. The
consequential liabilities and costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

32. Our buyers prescribe various standards, which we are required to comply with, and they conduct regular
audits to check customer regulatory compliance. If we do not comply with these standards, this may
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our customers prescribe stringent standards and guidelines in relation to timeliness of deliveries, quality,
confidentiality, labour standards and conduct periodic audits to ensure compliance with these standards. Any
non-compliance on our behalf with respect to such customer requirements and dissatisfaction by customers
during their audit checks can lead to loss of customers or decrease in their volume of business to us, which may
adversely affect our business and results of operations.

34
33. We may not be able to sustain effective implementation of our business and growth strategy, including
our expansion plans and the financing of such expansion, which may adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
The success of our business will depend greatly on our ability to effectively implement our business and growth
strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our strategy within the estimated budget, or
that we will meet the expectations of targeted customers. Our inability to manage our business and growth
strategy may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

One of our business strategies is to expand our manufacturing facilities to take advantage of growth
opportunities in the export markets. The construction and equipping of new plants and the expansion of existing
plants are subject to certain risks that could result in delays or cost overruns, which could require us to expend
additional capital and adversely affect our business and operating results. Such potential events include:
shortages and late delivery of building materials and facility equipment; delays in the delivery, installation,
commissioning and qualification of our manufacturing equipment; seasonal factors, such as a long and intensive
wet season that limits construction; labour disputes; design or construction changes with respect to building
spaces or equipment layout; delays or failure in securing the necessary governmental approvals, building sites or
land use rights; and technological capacity and other changes to our plans for new plants necessitated by
changes in market conditions. Furthermore, we may not be able to procure funding for such expansion in time or
at all due to various external factors such as change in tariff regulation, rising interest rates, increased insurance
costs and lending restrictions, amongst others. Delays in the construction and equipping or expansion of any of
our plants could result in the loss or delayed receipt of earnings and an increase in financing costs and would
adversely affect our business and results of operations.

34. We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business, and the failure to obtain or
retain them in a timely manner may adversely affect our business and financial condition and results of
operations.
Our business operations require us to obtain and renew, from time to time, certain approvals, licenses, permits,
registrations and permissions for operating our business, such as under the Factories Act and under the
Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923, for which we may have either made or are in the process of making an
application to obtain such approval or its renewal. If we fail to obtain or retain any of these approvals or
licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, our business may be adversely affected. Furthermore,
government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, some of which are onerous and require
the Company to make substantial expenditures. If we fail to comply or a regulator claims we have not complied
with these conditions, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially
affected.

For more information about the approvals and licences required in our business and the approvals and licenses
applied for, see the section titled “Government and Other Approvals” beginning on page 257 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.

35. We will be controlled by our Promoters for so long as they own a majority of our Equity Shares and our
other shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of shareholders’ votes during such time; if they
take actions that are not in your best interests, it may harm the value of your investment.
The substantial majority of our issued share capital is currently owned and held by our Promoters. Immediately
following the completion of this Issue, and assuming no other changes in shareholding, our Promoters will own
and hold [●] Equity Shares (or [●]%) of our issued share capital. The Promoters can exercise significant
influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring a shareholders’ vote, including the
composition of our Board of Directors; the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation; the
approval of mergers, strategic acquisitions or joint ventures or the sale of undertaking or assets; and lending and
investment policies, capital expenditures and dividend policies. This concentration of ownership may delay,
defer or even prevent a change in control of the Company and may make some transactions more difficult or
impossible without the support of these shareholders. The interests of these shareholders may conflict with your
interests; if they take actions that are not in your best interests, it may harm the value of your investment.

36. The availability of spurious pharmaceutical products could lead to losses in revenues and harm the
reputation of our products, which may in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

35
We are exposed to the risk that our products could be pirated and marketed illegally. This would not only result
in losses in revenues for our products, but could also harm the reputation of our brand name. In the event that
spurious products are manufactured using the “Claris” brand, we may have to establish that the spurious
products are not manufactured and/or marketed by us so that we are able to limit our liability. In order to do so,
we mark our products with specific batch numbers and manufacturing and expiry dates, which are maintained in
an internal database at our Clarion manufacturing facilities. We cannot provide any assurance whether these will
be replicated by the manufacturer of the spurious products, and therefore, may suffer financial losses as well as
loss to our reputation, which may in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

37. We rely extensively on our systems, including quality assurance systems, products processing systems
and information technology systems, the failure of which could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
We depend extensively on the capacity and reliability of the quality assurance systems, product processing
systems and information technology systems, supporting our operations. There can be no assurance that we will
not encounter disruptions in the future. Our systems are also subject to damage or incapacitation by natural
disasters, human error, power loss, sabotage, computer viruses, hacking, acts of terrorism and similar events or
the loss of support services from third parties. Any disruption in the use of, or damage to, our systems may
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

38. Our operations are subject to environmental, workers’ health and safety and employee laws and
regulations. If we are unable to comply with such laws and regulations, it may have a material adverse
affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations relating to environmental protection in India,
such as the Water Pollution Act, Air Pollution Act and the Environment Act, as well as internationally. For
example, the discharge or emission of chemicals, dust or other pollutants into the air, soil or water that exceed
permitted levels and cause damage to others may give rise to liabilities towards the government and third
parties, and may result in our incurring costs to remedy any such discharge or emissions. There can be no
assurance that compliance with such environmental laws and regulations will not result in a curtailment of
production or a material increase in the costs of production or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Environmental laws and regulations in India have become
increasingly stringent, and it is possible that they will become significantly more stringent in the future. If any of
our plants or the operations of such plants are shut down, we may continue to incur costs in complying with
regulations, appealing any decision to close our facilities, maintaining production at our existing facilities and
continuing to pay labour and other costs which may continue even if the facility is closed. Stricter laws and
regulations, or stricter interpretation of the existing laws and regulations may impose new liabilities on us or
result in the need for additional compliance requirements and additional investment in environmental protection
equipment, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or prospects.

We are also subject to laws and regulations governing relationships with employees in such areas as minimum
wage and maximum working hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and terminating of employees,
contract labour, work permits and health and safety. In some of the territories in which we operate,
environmental and workers’ compensation liability may be assigned to us as a matter of law.

If we are unable to comply with various regulatory requirements, it may have a material adverse affect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information regarding our regulations in India,
see the section titled “Regulations and Policies in India” on page 141 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

39. We have entered into transactions with related parties, which may have an adverse effect on our
business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
We have entered into and may continue to enter into certain transactions with related parties, including our
Promoter Group, Group Companies, Directors and our employees. Failure by related parties to meet their
obligations to our Company may adversely affect our business and prospects. For detailed information on our
related party transactions, see the section titled “Financial Information - Related Party Transactions” on page
208 of this Red Herring Prospectus. While we believe that all our related party transactions have been conducted
on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such
transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. There can be no assurance that such transactions,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations
and financial condition, including because of potential conflicts of interest or otherwise.

36
40. Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against all losses. To the extent that we suffer loss
or damage which is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our results of
operations and financial performance could be adversely affected.
Our Company has obtained insurance coverage in respect of certain risks. Our significant insurance policies
consist of, among others, transit policy, special contingency policy for plant, machinery and equipments, fire
policy for buildings, furniture and fixtures, workmen’s compensation policy group and personal accident policy.
In addition, we have obtained separate insurance coverage for personnel-related risks, motor-vehicle risks and
loss of movable assets risks. Under certain of our contracts and sub-contracts, we are required to obtain
insurance for the obligations undertaken by us towards the other party as well as third parties, which, in some
cases, we have not obtained or we permitted such insurance policies to lapse prior to the completion of the
contracts. While we believe that the insurance coverage we maintain would reasonably be adequate to cover all
normal risks associated with the operation of our business, there can be no assurance that any claim under the
insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured fully, in part or on time, nor that we have taken out
sufficient insurance to cover all material losses. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at acceptable costs. Further, we have not obtained
insurance cover for some of our contracts that require us to maintain insurance e.g., product liability insurance.
To the extent that we suffer loss or damage for which we do not obtain or maintain insurance or exceeds our
insurance coverage, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations and financial
performance could be adversely affected.

41. We do not own all the property where our corporate headquarters are situated. If we are unable to renew
certain of our leases or licenses, this could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Save and except for 3rd Floor, A & B Wing, Claris Corporate Headquarters, Near Parimal Railway Crossing,
Ellisbridge, Ahmedabad 380 006, the premises at our corporate headquarters have been taken on lease or license
by us. Whilst the terms of the lease and license agreements permit us to renew the contracts, there is however no
guarantee that the respective owners will agree to renegotiate the lease or license agreements on terms
acceptable to us. If we lose the leases or licenses at our corporate headquarters, we may have to relocate to an
alternate location. Moreover, the alternative premises may come at a high cost and subsequent leases or licenses
may not be for long terms, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

42. The Company’s financial results may be subject to seasonal variations.


The Company’s revenues and results may be affected by seasonal factors. For example, certain of the products
manufactured by us, such as infusion therapy products, are more in demand in India during the summer months
as compared to their demand in the winter months. For further details, please refer to the section titled
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 209 of this
Red Herring Prospectus.

Risk Factors to an Investment in our Equity Shares:

1. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares
investors purchase in the Issue.
The Equity Shares are intended to be listed on the BSE. Pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions must be
completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading of them may commence. Investors’ book entry or
“demat” accounts with depository participants in India are expected to be credited within two Business Days of
the date on which the Issue and Allotment is approved by our Board. Thereafter, upon receipt of final approval
of the Stock Exchange, trading in the Equity Shares is expected to commence within approximately one
Business Day. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares allocated earlier to investors will be credited to
their demat accounts, or that trading will commence, within six Business Days of the Issue and Allotment being
approved by our Board, or at all. Additionally we are liable to pay interest at 15.00% per annum if Allotment is
not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within 12 Business Days
from the Bid/Issue Closing Date.

2. The price of Equity Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses for the investors
acquiring Equity Shares in the Issue.
The prices of the Equity Shares on the Indian stock exchange may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several
factors, including: volatility in the Indian and global securities market, our operations and performance, the
performance of our competitors, the perception in the market about investments in the pharmaceutical industry,

37
adverse media reports about us or the pharmaceutical industry, changes in the estimates of our performance or
recommendations by financial analysts, significant developments in India’s economic liberalisation and
deregulation policies, and significant developments in India’s fiscal regulations.

3. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares will be listed on the BSE in a timely manner.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, approval for listing of the Equity Shares will not be granted until
after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval will require all other relevant documents
authorising the issuing of our Equity Shares to be submitted to the stock exchange. There could be a failure or
delay in listing our Equity Shares on the BSE. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your
ability to own or dispose of your Equity Shares.

4. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash
flows, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements.
Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital
requirements. Dividends distributed by us will attract dividend distribution tax at rates applicable from time to
time. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient income to cover our operating expenses and pay
dividends to our shareholders, or at all. Our ability to pay dividends could also be restricted under certain
financing arrangements that we may enter into. We may be unable to pay dividends in the near or medium term,
and our future dividend policy will depend on our capital requirements, financial condition and results of
operations.

5. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Issue may not result in an active or liquid
market for the Equity Shares.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares and an active public market for the
Equity Shares may not develop or be sustained after the Issue. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a
trading market for the Equity Shares will develop or, if a market does develop, the liquidity of that market for
the Equity Shares. Although we currently intend that the Equity Shares will remain listed on the BSE, there is no
guarantee of the continued listing of the Equity Shares. Failure to maintain our listing on the BSE or other
securities markets could adversely affect the market value of the Equity Shares.

6. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price and liquidity of our Equity Shares.
Indian stock exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities.
Any volatility in the price of our Equity Shares due to market conditions may affect the marketability of such
securities, and there can be no assurance that a liquid market will develop for the Equity Shares, that
shareholders will be able to sell their Equity Shares, or that such shareholders will be able to sell their Equity
Shares for a price that reflects their value.

7. There are, and will continue to remain, restrictions on daily movements in the price of Equity Shares,
which may adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, our Equity
Shares at a particular point in time.
The price of our Equity Shares could be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in
India which does not allow transactions beyond a certain level of volatility in the price of the Equity Shares.
This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed
by the SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock
exchanges based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock
exchanges do not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker from time to time, and may change it
without our knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits upward and downward movements in the price of
the Equity Shares. As a result, shareholders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares, or the price at which they can sell
the Equity Shares, may be adversely affected at a particular point in time.

8. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sales of our Equity Shares by
our Promoter or other major shareholders and dilution in net tangible book value may adversely affect
the trading price of Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of our Equity Shares by our Company could dilute your shareholding. Any such future
issuance of our Equity Shares or sales of our Equity Shares by any of our significant shareholders may also
adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares, and could impact our ability to raise capital through an
offering of our securities.

38
Furthermore, under the Securities Contract (Regulation) Rules, 1957, as amended (SCRR), listed companies are
required to maintain public shareholding of at least 25% of their issued share capital. Pursuant to the Securities
Contracts (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2010, notified on June 4, 2010 and the notification of the Ministry
of Finance, Government of India dated August 9, 2010, the SCRR were amended to define ‘public shareholding’
to refer to equity shares held by persons other than a company‘s promoter and Promoter Group and subsidiaries
and associates, and excluding shares held by a custodian against which depository receipts have been issued
overseas. Companies, such as ours, whose draft offer documents were filed with the SEBI on or prior to the
commencement of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2010, are required, on listing, to
increase their public shareholding to at least 25% of its issued share capital within three years of the
commencement of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2010, i.e. June 4, 2010. Failure to
comply with the minimum public shareholding provision would require a listed company to delist its shares and
may result in penal action being taken against the listed company pursuant to the SEBI Act. This may require us
to issue additional Equity Shares or require our Promoters or Promoter Group to sell their Equity Shares, which
may adversely affect our trading price.

In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading
price of our Equity Shares. Upon completion of the Issue, the entire post-Issue paid-up capital held by our
Promoters will be locked up for a period of one year and 20% of our post-Issue paid-up capital held by certain
of our Promoters will be locked up for a period of three years from the date of allotment of Equity Shares in the
Issue. For further information relating to such Equity Shares that will be locked up, please see the section titled
“Capital Structure” on page 72 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Purchasers of our Equity Shares will experience an immediate dilution in net tangible book value per share from
the initial public offering price per Equity Share. After giving effect to the issuance of [●] Equity Shares in this
Issue, and following the deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses
payable by us and the application of the Net Proceeds, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of
[●], would have been Rs. [●] million, or Rs. [●] per Equity Share. This represents an immediate dilution in pro
forma net tangible book value of Rs. [●] per Equity Share to new investors purchasing Equity Shares in this
Issue. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoter or other major
shareholders may also adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

External Risk Factors

1. Certain of our business transactions are entered into with government or government-funded entities in
India as well as globally and any change in the government policies, practices or focus may adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
Certain aspects of our business are dependent on contracts with governmental authorities, government hospitals
and other entities funded by governments or governmental authorities – both in the domestic and international
market. If there is any change in the government or in governmental policies, practices or focus that results in a
slowdown in obtaining government contracts, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

One of the standard conditions in contracts typically awarded by governments or government-backed entities is
that the government or entity, as a client, has the right to terminate the contract for convenience, without any
reason, at any time after providing us with notice. In the event that a contract is so terminated, our results of
operations may be adversely affected.

2. Increasing employee compensation in India may erode some of our competitive advantage and may
reduce our profit margins, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations
Employee compensation in India has historically been significantly lower than employee compensation in the
United States and Western Europe for comparably skilled professionals, which has been one of our competitive
strengths. However, compensation increases in India may erode some of this competitive advantage and may
negatively affect our profit margins. Employee compensation in India is increasing at a faster rate than in the
United States and Western Europe, which could result in increased costs relating to scientists and engineers,
managers and other mid-level professionals. We may need to continue to increase the levels of our employee
compensation to remain competitive and manage attrition. Compensation increases may have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

39
3. Due to our specialisation in a limited number of therapeutic categories, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be materially adversely affected if recent levels of market growth in these
therapeutic categories are not maintained or if substitute products become available.
We garner most of our revenue from the sale of injectable sterile parenteral products within the pharmaceutical
industry. If recent levels of market growth in this segment are not maintained or if profit margins for products
sold declined, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Similarly, in the event of any breakthroughs
in the development or invention of alternative drugs or formulations for this category of products, we may be
exposed to the risk of our products becoming obsolete or being substituted, to a greater or lesser extent, by these
alternatives. Any such development or invention in these therapeutic categories could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

4. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business.


Our financial statements are prepared in Indian rupees. Most of our exports and some of our imports are made in
U.S. dollars and in other foreign currencies. Although our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations is in part
naturally hedged by the fact that we export formulations and import raw materials and equipment, and although
we hedge a portion of our open net foreign exchange position, we are still affected by fluctuations in exchange
rates between the U.S. dollar, the Indian rupee and other currencies. Any significant fluctuation in exchange
rates may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

5. We are exposed to government price controls which could negatively affect our results of operations.
In addition to normal price competition in the marketplace, the prices of our pharmaceutical products are or may
be restricted by price controls imposed by governments and healthcare providers in several countries including
India. Price controls operate differently in different countries and can cause wide variations in prices between
markets. Currency fluctuations can aggravate these differences. The existence of price controls can limit the
revenues we earn from our products. For example, in India, prices of certain pharmaceutical products are
determined by the Drug Prices Control Order (“DPCO”), promulgated by the Indian government and
administered by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (“NPPA”). The trend in India is for the market
prices of such products to be at par or lower than NPPA prescribed prices. If the prices of more of our products
are administered or determined by the DPCO / NPPA or other similar authorities outside India, it would have an
adverse impact on our profitability.

Increasing expenditures for healthcare have been the subject of considerable public debate in India, the United
States and other countries in which we sell our products. Both private and governmental entities are seeking to
find ways to reduce or limit healthcare costs. We currently sell our products in the United States and in
European countries and we look to expand our sales in these regulated markets. In India, the government has
been actively reviewing prices for pharmaceuticals and margins offered to trade which has resulted in certain
segments of the industry agreeing to a price-freeze for a certain period of time. The government recently
permitted non-governmental entities to offer private healthcare insurance in India, which may lead to increased
pressure on pharmaceutical prices. We cannot predict the nature of the measures that may be adopted by
governmental and private organisations or their impact on our revenues. If healthcare legislation or third-party
payer influence results in lower pharmaceutical prices, our overall revenues may decrease and our profits could
be adversely affected.

6. Our business is subject to a significant number of tax regimes and changes in legislation, accounting
policies or policies related to tax applicable to us could adversely affect our results of operations.
We currently have operations and staff spread across many states of India and abroad. Consequently, we are
subject to the jurisdiction of a number of tax authorities and regimes. The revenues recorded and income earned
in these various jurisdictions are taxed on differing bases, including net income actually earned, net income
deemed earned and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of our tax liabilities involves the
interpretation of local tax laws and related authorities in each jurisdiction as well as the significant use of
estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and
nature of income earned and expenditures incurred. We are involved in disputes with various tax authorities. For
more details, see the section titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 236 of this Red
Herring Prospectus. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law, could impact the
determination of our tax liabilities for any financial year.

New or revised accounting policies or policies related to tax, cess, duties or other such levies promulgated from
time to time by relevant authorities may significantly affect our reported results of operations.

40
Taxes and other levies imposed by the central or state governments in India and by foreign authorities that affect
our industry include customs duties, excise duties, value added tax, income tax, service tax and other taxes,
duties or surcharges introduced from time to time. The central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and
subject to change from time to time. New types of taxes, stamp duties and service and other value added taxes,
such as the proposed goods and services tax legislation, may be introduced which may increase our overall
costs. A change in the law, including the proposed migration to the direct tax code or to the excise duty structure
applicable to our business, or in the interpretation of the law or in any of the taxes levied by the central or state
governments or foreign authorities may adversely affect our competitive position, profitability, financial
condition and results of operations.

7. We are receiving certain tax benefits, which may not be available to us in the future. Loss of this tax
benefit in the future may result in a decrease in our margins, which could in turn result in a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are registered under the export oriented unit scheme of the Government of India, which entitles us to an
income tax exemption, under Section 10B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, on our business profits derived from
export of goods manufactured at our manufacturing facilities in village Chacharwadi Vasana, Taluka Sanand,
Ahmedabad, Gujarat. We are currently eligible for this exemption up to assessment year 2011 - 12.
Furthermore, we are eligible to write off additional amounts from our profit and loss statement based on our
research and development expenditure under section 35(2AB) of the Income Tax Act. Loss of any of these tax
benefits in the future may result in a decrease in our margins, which could in turn result in a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For details of the tax benefits available to
us, see the section titled “Statement of Tax Benefits” on page 104 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

8. Terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence or war involving India and other countries could
adversely affect financial markets and our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the Indian markets on which our Equity
Shares trade and also adversely affect the worldwide financial markets. These acts may also result in a loss of
business confidence, making travel and other services more difficult and ultimately adversely affecting our
business.

India has also witnessed civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as
other adverse social, economic and political events in India could have an adverse impact on our business. Such
incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of
risk and could have an adverse impact on our business and the price of our Equity Shares.

Other acts of violence or war outside India, including those involving the United States, the United Kingdom or
other countries, may adversely affect worldwide financial markets and could adversely affect the world
economic environment, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in India.

9. Any disruption in global or domestic logistics could adversely affect our operations.
As a manufacturing business, our success depends on the smooth supply and transportation of various materials
and inputs from different domestic and global sources to our plants, and of our products from our plants to our
customers located globally, logistics of all of which are subject to various uncertainties and risks. Disruption of
transportation services because of weather related problems, strikes, lock-outs, terrorisms, inadequacies in the
road infrastructure and port facilities, or other events could impair our ability to receive materials and other
inputs and supply products to our customers. Although we have not encountered any significant disruptions in
such logistics to date, we cannot assure you that such disruptions will not occur in the future.

Additionally, we typically use third-party transportation providers for the supply of most of our raw materials.
Transportation strikes by, for example, members of various Indian and foreign truckers’ unions and various
legal or regulatory restrictions placed on transportation providers have had in the past, and could have in the
future, an adverse effect on our receipt of supplies. Further, transportation costs have been steadily increasing,
and the prices of raw materials themselves can fluctuate. In addition, the availability of supplies may not be
commensurate with the rate of growth being experienced by the pharmaceutical sector. If we are unable to
procure the requisite quantities of raw materials in time and at commercially acceptable prices, the performance
of our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

41
10. We are subject to the risk of loss due to fire, explosions and other similar events as well as the risk of
natural calamities or general disruptions adversely affecting our production facilities or distribution chain,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Unanticipated or unforeseen risks may materialise due to adverse weather conditions, geological conditions,
specification changes and other reasons. Additionally, our operations are subject to hazards inherent in
providing bio-chemical engineering and pharmaceutical manufacturing activities, such as risk of equipment
failure, work accidents, fire or explosion, including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe
damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and environmental damage.

In the event of a drought, the government could cut or limit the supply of water to our manufacturing facilities,
resulting in a material adverse effect on our production capabilities, reduction in the volume of products we can
manufacture and consequently a reduction in our revenues. In the event of floods, our distribution channels may
be adversely affected.

We use highly flammable materials, such as hydroxy ethyl starch and iso propyl alcohol, in our manufacturing
processes and are therefore subject to the risk of loss arising from fires or explosions. The risk of fire associated
with these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the past, we have had minor interruptions in production
as a result of fire at our production facilities. Also, we handle dangerous materials including explosive, toxic and
combustible materials. If improperly handled or subjected to the wrong conditions, these materials could injure
our employees and other persons, cause damage to our properties and harm the environment. Such events in turn
could subject us to significant litigation which could lower our profits in the event we were found liable.

In addition, natural calamities such as earthquakes, rains and heavy downpours could disrupt our distribution
chain and damage our storage facilities. Our insurance coverage for damages to our properties and disruption of
our business due to these events may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses.

The occurrence of fire, explosions or natural calamities affecting our manufacturing processes or distribution
channels, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

11. Our transition to IFRS reporting could have a material adverse effect on our reported results of
operations or financial condition.
Public companies in India, including us, may be required to prepare annual and interim financial statements
under IFRS in accordance with the roadmap for the adoption of, and convergence with, the IFRS announced by
the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India through a press note dated January 22, 2010 (the “IFRS
Convergence Note”). Pursuant to the IFRS Convergence Note, all companies which (i) are a part of the Nifty
50 index of the NSE, (ii) of the Sensex 30 index of the BSE, or (iii) which have a net worth in excess of Rs.
1,000 crores will be required to convert their opening balance sheets as at April 1, 2011 in compliance with the
notified accounting standards which are convergent with IFRS. As our Company’s net worth was not in excess
of Rs. 1,000 crores as at May 31, 2010, it will not be required to report financial information and prepare interim
and annual financial statements under the notified accounting standards which are convergent with IFRS as at
and for periods commencing on April 1, 2011. Further, according to the IFRS Convergence Note, companies
which have a net worth of over Rs. 500 crores but less than Rs. 1,000 crores will be required to convert their
opening balance sheets as at April 1, 2013 in compliance with the notified accounting standards which are
convergent with IFRS. Since our Company’s net worth was in excess of Rs. 500 crores as at May 31, 2010, the
Company will be required to report financial information and prepare it financial statements as at and for
periods commencing on January 1, 2013 under the notified accounting standards which are convergent with
IFRS. We have not yet determined with certainty what impact the adoption of IFRS will have on our financial
reporting.

Our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders’ equity may appear
materially different under IFRS than under Indian GAAP or our adoption of IFRS may adversely affect our
reported results of operations or financial condition. This may have a material adverse effect on the amount of
income recognised during that period and in the corresponding (restated) period in the comparative fiscal
year/period.

In addition, in our transition to IFRS reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of
implementing and enhancing our management information systems. Moreover, our transition may be hampered
by increasing competition for the relatively small number of IFRS-experienced accounting personnel available
as more Indian companies begin to prepare IFRS financial statements.

42
12. Political instability or changes in the government could delay the liberalisation of the Indian economy
and adversely affect economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
Our business and the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares may be affected by changes in exchange
rates and controls, interest rates, government policies, taxation and other political, economic or other
developments in or affecting India. The Government has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a
significant influence over many aspects of the economy. Since 1991, successive Indian governments have
pursued policies of economic liberalisation, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector.
The governments have usually been multi-party coalitions with differing agendas. Any political instability could
affect the rate of economic liberalisation and specific laws and policies affecting foreign investment, currency
exchange, the pharmaceutical industry and other matters affecting investment in our services. Changes in India’s
policy of economic liberalisation and deregulation, such as where new restrictions on the private sector are
introduced or if existing restrictions are increased, could adversely affect business and economic conditions in
India generally and consequently also adversely affect our business.

13. Hostilities with neighbouring countries and civil unrest in India may have a material adverse effect on
the market for securities in India.
Regional conflicts in South Asia could adversely affect the Indian economy, disrupt our operations and cause
our business to suffer. South Asia has from time to time experienced instances of hostilities among neighbouring
countries. Military activity or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy by disrupting
communications and making travel more difficult. Such terrorist acts could destabilise India and increase
internal divisions within the government as it considers responses to such instability and unrest, thereby
adversely affecting investors’ confidence in India and the Indian economy. Any terrorist attack, including
damage to our infrastructure or that of our customers, could cause interruption to parts of our businesses and
materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Such political
tensions could create a greater perception that investments in Indian companies involve a higher degree of risk.
This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the market for securities of Indian companies, including
our Equity Shares, and on the business of our Company.

14. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could have an adverse impact
on our business.
Any adverse revision by international rating agencies to the credit ratings of the Indian national government’s
sovereign domestic and international debt may adversely affect our ability to raise financing by resulting in a
change in the interest rates and other commercial terms at which we may obtain such financing. This could have
a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance, our ability to obtain financing to fund our
future expansion and growth and the trading price of our Equity Shares. A downgrading of the Indian national
government’s debt rating may occur, for example, upon a change of government tax or fiscal policy, which are
outside our control.

15. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.
Our performance and the quality and growth of our business are necessarily dependent on the health of the
overall Indian economy. The Indian economy has grown significantly over the past few years. However, there
have been periods of slowdown in economic growth during the 1990s. In the past, such economic slowdowns
have harmed manufacturing industries including the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. India’s economy
could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates, inflation, natural calamities, such as earthquakes,
tsunamis, floods and drought, increases in commodity and energy prices, and protectionist efforts in other
countries or various other factors. In addition, the Indian economy is in a state of transition. It is difficult to
gauge the impact of these fundamental economic changes on our business. Any future slowdown in the Indian
economy could harm us, our customers and other contractual counter-parties.

16. Our business could be disrupted as a result of any financial instability occurring in other countries.
The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other
countries. Financial turmoil in Asia, Russia and elsewhere in the world in the past has affected the Indian
economy. Recently, financial turmoil in the United States has affected the Indian economy. Since mid-2007, and
particularly during the second half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the global banking and financial
services industry and the securities markets generally were materially and adversely affected by significant
declines in the values of nearly all asset classes, including mortgages, real estate assets, leveraged bank loans
and equities, and by a serious lack of liquidity. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regions

43
was greatly reduced and local governments and many companies were in serious difficulty due to the lack of
consumer spending and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets. Unemployment increased significantly in
many countries. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to
developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries,
including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause
increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide
financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur
again and could harm our business, our future financial performance and the price of our shares.

17. Our ability to freely raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law, which could adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a pharmaceutical company, while we are classified by the Indian government for automatic approval of
foreign direct equity investment, we do require regulatory approvals to raise more than US$500 million of
foreign currency denominated indebtedness outside India in a single transaction. The need to obtain such
regulatory approval could constrain our ability to raise the most cost effective funding for our optimisation,
modernisation, acquisition and other strategic transactions, which may adversely affect our future growth. We
cannot assure you that any required approvals will be given when needed or at all or that such approvals if given
will not have onerous conditions.

Current Indian government policy allows 100% foreign ownership of Indian companies in the pharmaceutical
sector. However, the Indian government may change this policy in the future, and restrict foreign investor from
holding in excess of a prescribed amount of ownership of an Indian pharmaceutical company. If such change
restricted our ability to issue and foreign investors' ability to hold shares above such specified limited, we may
be restricted in our ability to raise additional funding through equity issuances in the future, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

18. We are subject to risks arising from interest rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in interest rates could significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. As of May
31, 2010, Rs. 2,348.29 million or 63.38% of our total borrowings from banks and financial institutions were at
floating rates of interest. If the interest rates for our existing or future borrowings increase significantly, our cost
of servicing such debt will increase. This may adversely impact our results of operations, planned capital
expenditures and cash flows.

Prominent Notes:
1. Public issue of [●] Equity Shares of Rs. 10/- each at a price of Rs. [●] per Equity Share (including a share
premium of Rs. [●] per Equity Share) aggregating to Rs. 3,000 million. The Issue will constitute [●]% of
the fully diluted post issue paid up capital of the Company.

2. The Company’s net worth on a consolidated basis as at May 31, 2010 was Rs. 5718.59 million.

3. The net asset value per Equity Share, post issuance of bonus shares, was Rs. 111.72 as at May 31, 2010 as
per the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. The average cost of acquisition per Equity Share by the Promoters is (i) Rs. 0.16 per Equity Share acquired
by Mr. Arjun S. Handa and (ii) Rs. 5.29 per Equity Share acquired by Sarjan Financial Private Limited. The
average cost of acquisition per Equity Share by Mr. Aditya S. Handa is Rs. 0.16. The average cost of
acquisition has been calculated by dividing the aggregate amount paid by the Promoters to acquire the
Equity Shares held by them by the aggregate number of Equity Shares held by the Promoters. For further
details, see the section titled “Capital Structure” on page 72 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

5. For details of the related party transactions entered into by the Company with the Subsidiaries and the
Group Companies, please refer to the section titled “Financial Information - Related Party Transactions” on
page 208 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

6. There are no financing arrangements whereby the Promoter Group, our Directors or their relatives have
financed the purchase by any other person of securities of the Issuer other than in the normal course of the
business of the financing entity during the period of six months immediately preceding the date of filing the
Red Herring Prospectus.

SECTION 3 : INTRODUCTION

SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY

GLOBAL INJECTABLES INDUSTRY


Introduction
A significant proportion of pharmaceutical products are delivered to the human body as tablets or capsules,
orally. However, there are many drugs that are available only in injectable format due to issues of safety and
efficacy. There are also products which are available in oral and injectable forms, where the injectable form is
preferred when the patient is in a critical situation. These injectables by their very name cannot be consumed
orally and need to be injected or infused into the body. Due to this, injectables have certain specific
characteristics compared to oral dosage forms:

• They are more difficult to formulate and have multiple technology and delivery platforms
• They are more capital intensive to produce
• They are governed by tougher regulations
• They require specialised skills to formulate and produce
• The customer segments are almost exclusively hospitals where the decision making process and criteria is
distinct from individual doctors
(Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

The injectables industry, in comparison to the orals industry, is characterised by less competitive intensity, low
price erosion and higher profit margins. One of the major attractions of injectable generics is the potential for
companies to compete in a relatively exclusive market. A small number of injectable drugs have received
significant attention from generic companies, resulting in the approval of numerous versions following patent
expiry. For more than half of the injectable generics approved since 2004, just one or two manufacturers have
received ANDA approvals and 86% of molecules in the market have fewer than five injectable generic
competitors. Hence injectables are considered to be a specialty segment of the pharma market. (Source: Espicom

Competition for Generic Injectables

Source: Espicom Business Intelligence, Injectable Generic Drugs: Prospects & Opportunities to 2014, December 2009

This is a very lucrative industry segment because there is less competition in these products which reduces
scope for price reductions and enables players to obtain high profitability margins than have traditionally been
available for oral generics. (Source: Espicom Business Intelligence, Injectable Generic Drugs: Prospects &
Opportunities to 2014, December 2009)

SUMMARY OF OUR BUSINESS, STRENGTHS AND STRATEGIES

OVERVIEW

We are one of the largest Indian sterile injectables pharmaceutical companies with a presence in 76 countries
worldwide. Our products offering comprises 128 products across multiple markets and therapeutic areas. All of
our products are off-patent products, a significant majority of which are capable of being directly injected into
the body and are predominantly used in the treatment of critical illnesses.

Our products range across various therapeutic segments, including anaesthesia, critical care, anti-infectives,
renal care, infusion therapy, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition and oncology. We offer injectables in various
delivery systems, such as glass and plastic bottles, vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes and non-PVC and PVC
bags. Our customer base primarily includes government and private hospitals, aid agencies and nursing homes.

For the five month period ended May 31, 2010, we recorded total sales of Rs. 3,249.53 million and net profit of
Rs. 577.27 million. For the financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we recorded total sales of
Rs. 7,435.25 million, Rs. 7,521.55 million and Rs. 5,971.52 million, respectively, and net profit of Rs. 1,248.93
million, Rs. 1,078.98 million, and Rs. 893.22 million, respectively.

Since the Company’s inception, we have made efforts to grow our business in international markets. For the five
month period ended May 31, 2010 our revenue from our international businesses amounted to Rs. 1,989.62
million, which accounted for 61.23% of total sales during the period. For the financial years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, our revenue in international business amounted to Rs. 4,068.18 million,
Rs. 3,772.74 million and Rs. 2,174.44 million, respectively, which accounted for 54.71%, 50.16% and 36.41%
of total sales, respectively. We believe we have an established presence and offer a large product portfolio in
emerging markets, such as regions of Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Central, South East and Far
East Asia. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010, our revenue from emerging markets amounted to Rs.
817.90 million which accounted for 25.17% of our total sales during this period. For the financial years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, our revenue in emerging markets amounted to Rs. 2,658.08 million, Rs.
3,445.01 million and Rs. 1,858.87 million, respectively, which accounted for 35.75%, 45.80%, and 31.13% of
our total sales, respectively. We also have a presence in certain regulated markets and one of our key growth
strategies going forward is to further expand our distribution network and product offerings in markets such as
the United States, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, as potential sales and
profit margins are higher than those in the emerging markets. In order to achieve growth in the regulated
markets, we have filed 280 applications for product registrations in regulated markets up to September 30, 2010,
including 36 applications in the United States, out of which we have obtained 145 product registrations,
including 25 in the United States.

We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products pursuant to
which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from certain countries. Further, the
USFDA imposed an import alert on us and our products, which is subsisting. Furthermore, the USFDA carried
out an inspection of our manufacturing facilities at Ahmedabad, subsequent to which it has issued a warning
letter to us. Additionally, the registration of the Company and its products was suspended by the Drug and Food
Control, Ministry of Health, State of Kuwait from June 8, 2010 till August 22, 2010. For more details, please see

period ended May 31, 2010, our revenue in regulated markets amounted to Rs. 1,171.72 million which
accounted for 36.06% of our total sales during this period. For the financial years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007, our revenue in regulated markets amounted to Rs. 1,410.10 million, Rs. 327.73 million and Rs.
315.56 million, respectively, which accounted for 18.97%, 4.36%, and 5.28% of our total sales, respectively.

In addition to growing our international business, we continue to maintain our focus on the domestic business.
For the five month period ended May 31, 2010 our revenue in our domestic business was Rs. 1,259.91 million
which accounted for 38.77% of our total revenues during this period. For the financial years ended December
31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, our revenue in our domestic business was Rs. 3,367.07 million, Rs. 3,748.81 million
and Rs. 3,797.08 million, respectively, which accounted for 45.29%, 49.84%, and 63.59%, respectively, of our
total revenues.

Our manufacturing facilities are located in Ahmedabad, India. Certain of these facilities have been approved by
foreign regulatory authorities including the USFDA, MHRA (UK), TGA (Australia), NAM (Finland), GCC
FDCA (Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and other countries in the Middle East) and
INVIMA (Colombia). One of our facilities, Clarion V, is currently under construction and we expect it to be
operational by the third quarter of 2011. Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-2000 and WHO GMP
certified. In addition, the Company has won the Indian Drug Manufacturer Association’s Quality Excellence
Award in 2007 and 2008 and the Frost & Sullivan India Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and
2009 in recognition of the quality of its practices. The Company has also been given a certificate of excellence
by the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation of Sri Lanka at the 13th SPC Suppliers Covention 2010. The Company
has also been awarded the Silver Award in the Pharmaceutical Sector by Greentech Foundation for the
Company’s outstanding achievement in safety management in respect of its manufacturing operations. In
addition to manufacturing our own products which we sell under our own brands, we use our facilities to
manufacture products which are sold to Indian and international companies who market such products under
their own brands.

Out of our products offering, one of our key products, propofol, represented approximately 14.84% of our total
sales for the financial year ended December 31, 2009 and for the five month period ended May 31, 2010
represented approximately 12.52% of our total sales in that period. We hold patents for APIs for our hydroxyl
ethyl starch product. Our regulatory team has developed capabilities and processes to file product registrations
in regulated and emerging markets; as of September 30, 2010, we had obtained over 1,100 registrations
worldwide and approximately 324 applications were pending approval.

We adopt three different distribution models for the supply of our products across international markets. In
certain countries, we register, import and store products as well as market them to customers through entities
owned and controlled by us. In certain other countries, we partner with local distributors who import and
distribute our products and, under our supervision, carry out marketing activities. In the rest of the countries
where we operate, distributors and marketing partners are responsible for marketing our products. In March
2009, we entered into a business arrangement with the Pfizer group of companies (“Pfizer”) with a view to
strengthen our presence in regulated markets. We believe Pfizer’s ability to market our products will extend the
reach of our products and enable our business to grow in regulated markets in which Pfizer has a significant
presence. In addition to the seven ANDAs in relation to four products granted by the USFDA, we have, pursuant
to an asset purchase and technology license agreement entered into with a pharmaceutical company, acquired 24
ANDAs for 16 products, out of which four ANDAs for two products were granted to us prior to this agreement,
and two ANDAs for two products are yet to be granted by the USFDA. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010,
we have been granted 25 ANDAs in relation to 16 products by the USFDA in aggregate. For further details in
relation to the asset purchase and technology license agreement please see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments” on page 209 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.

Our domestic business is driven by our own sales and marketing network. As of September 30, 2010, we had a
sales division of approximately 422 people covering various territories across India. We also had a network of
approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40 distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in the
country.

49
For the financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we incurred Rs. 1,065.95 million, Rs.
1,945.29 million and Rs. 1,444.70 million, respectively, in capital expenditure to expand our production
capacity and upgrade technology in our manufacturing facilities. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010,
we incurred Rs. 565.44 million in capital expenditure to further expand our production capacity and upgrade
technology in our manufacturing facilities. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in 2010, 2011 and
2012 to set up new production lines as well as a research and development facility. For further details on our
planned capital expenditures, please see the sections titled “Objects of the Issue” and “History and Certain
Corporate Matters” on pages 88 and 145, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Fitch Ratings India Private Limited granted our Company long-term and short-term debt ratings of ‘A-(ind)’ and
‘F2+(ind)’, respectively, on June 23, 2010.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS


The following are our key strengths which we believe enable us to be competitive in our business:

Complex product portfolio


We believe we have a differentiated business model among Indian pharmaceutical companies due to our focus
on a range of complex injectable products. We have established a portfolio of injectable products across various
therapeutic segments, technologies and delivery systems. We have developed 98 products formulated from our
portfolio of approximately 57 molecules. Our product portfolio comprises complex molecules, such as propofol
and iron sucrose. Further, we believe our portfolio of injectables is one of the largest amongst Indian
pharmaceutical companies. Our products span multiple technology platforms, including aqueous solutions as
well as complex colloidal solutions, liposomal products and emulsions. These products are available across
delivery systems, such as ampoules, vials, bottles ranging from 1 ml to 2000 ml, multi-chamber bags in PVC
and non-PVC material. Hospitals are our key customers for injectables. Sales to hospitals are driven by a
combination of width and depth in product range. By increasing the size of our product portfolio, we have been
able to achieve sales growth in various markets.

Manufacturing competence across multiple drug delivery systems


Our products require an understanding of sophisticated technical processes and quality assurance methods to be
able to maintain sterility. We believe we are one of the few manufacturers in India and in other emerging
markets to have manufacturing facilities for large volume parenterals in glass bottles, emulsions manufacturing
facilities and bag manufacturing facilities which are approved by multiple regulatory authorities in the regulated
markets.

We have purchased technologies from international suppliers, such as double pass reverse osmosis system from
Christ (Switzerland); distillation columns from Stillmas (Italy); manufacturing vessels from Diesel (Germany);
glass vials washing and sterilization tunnels from Groninger (Germany); glass filling lines and form fill seal
automatic bag manufacturing lines from Plumat (Germany); SVP manufacturing lines from Robert Bosch
(Germany); sterilizers from SBM (Austria); leak testing machines from Breviti (Italy); and cleanrooms from
Clestra (France).

Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-2000 and WHO GMP certified. In addition, the Company has won
the Indian Drug Manufacturer Association’s Quality Excellence Award in 2007 and 2008 and the Frost &
Sullivan India Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and 2009 in recognition of the quality of its
practices. The Company has also been awarded the Silver Award in the Pharmaceutical Sector by Greentech
Foundation for the Company’s outstanding achievement in safety management in respect of its manufacturing
operations.

Established sales, marketing and distribution network across 76 countries


We have entered into business arrangements with the Pfizer group as well as with other local companies in
regulated markets to grow our distribution network and to strengthen our sales and marketing presence across 76
countries.

As of September 30, 2010, we had a sales team of approximately 422 people who primarily sold our products to
hospitals in India. We employed a total sales force of about 107 people for the international markets.

50
As of September 30, 2010, we had a network of approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40
distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in India, enabling us to reach a significant number of
hospitals, institutions and doctors. We also have existing business relationships with institutional public and
private hospitals in the international markets. Our products are on the list of approved products maintained by
certain hospitals in India and abroad to which we market our products.

Integrated business model


We believe that our capabilities and experience span across all business verticals in the generic injectables
industry. We have a trained workforce across business divisions, such as R&D for product development,
regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, supply chain management, and sales and
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables business will allow us to better control variables in our
business processes.

While we are dependent on various third parties such as distributors, consignee agents, clearing and forwarding
agents, etc., for the marketing and distribution of our products, we believe our integrated business model allows
us to reduce our dependence on third parties. For further details please refer to the section titled ‘Risk Factors -
Our success is dependent on our distribution and marketing arrangements, including the one with Pfizer, for the
sale and distribution of our products and on our relationship with our customers. If any of these arrangements
is terminated for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected’ please refer to page 25 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

R&D capabilities
We believe our expertise in developing complex and difficult to develop products such as propofol, iron
sucrose, hydroxyl ethyl starch and glutamine IV and complex and difficult to develop delivery systems, such as
multichamber bags, provides us with a competitive advantage. For example, we believe we were one of first
companies’ in India to have developed a unibag non-PVC infusion system, which provides us with a
competitive advantage as non-PVC bags are the preferred delivery system in regulated markets. Additionally, as
of September 30, 2010, we had three registered patents and fifteen patent applications pending in India.

Total expenditures for our research and development (“R&D”) activities relating to continuing operations,
including product development costs, were Rs. 633.40 million, Rs. 368.08 million and Rs. 218.53 million for the
financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total expenditures for our R&D
activities relating to continuing operations, including product development costs, were Rs. 335.72 million for
the five month period ended May 31, 2010.

We have the R&D capability and experience to develop, manufacture and register products across various
delivery systems to increase the efficiency of drug delivery and make our products better suited to market
requirements. As of September 30, 2010, we employed approximately 75 scientists and specialists in India for
our R&D activities. The size of our R&D team has grown approximately 74% since December 31, 2008 in line
with our regulated markets strategy.

Committed senior management team and a well-qualified workforce


Our management team includes senior executives, a majority of whom have worked with the Company for over
five years. We believe our management team has a long-term vision and provides stability and continuity to our
business. We also believe that the strength of our management team in our business divisions, such as R&D for
product development, regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, and sales and
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables market will enable our business to grow in a focused and
constructive manner.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 493 of our employees in India were post-graduates and around 805
held graduate degrees. We believe we benefit from a well-qualified workforce. Selling and marketing
injectables involves developing capabilities to cater to multiple levels within hospitals. We believe we have
developed a close association with hospitals as a result of our sales and marketing network. Our regulatory team
has significant capabilities and experience in filing product registrations in regulated and emerging markets. We
have obtained over 1,100 registrations across 76 countries.

For the risks relating to dependence on our senior management team and a well-qualified workforce, please see
“Risk Factors – We are dependent upon the experience and skill of our management team and key employees.”

Cost advantage
A significant majority of our products are manufactured in India. This, coupled with the process efficiencies
which we have developed in our Clarion facilities, we believe contributes to our production cost advantage over
those of our competitors which manufacture their products in high cost developed markets.

OUR STRATEGY
Our business objective is to grow our revenues and profits through increased market presence. We intend to do
so by increasing our product offerings in key emerging and regulated markets, through strategic business
arrangements as well as by maintaining our focus on our domestic business. Our business strategy focuses on
the following elements:

Increase our product range across existing and new technology platforms and delivery systems
As of September 30, 2010, we had filed 280 applications for product registrations in regulated markets,
including 36 applications in the United States, out of which we had obtained 145 product registrations, including
25 in the United States. We intend to apply for additional approvals from the USFDA and from various other
regulatory authorities for our manufacturing facilities and products to enable us to sell more of our products in
these markets. We are primarily targeting injectable products which have or are due to go off-patent in regulated
markets.

We are expanding our manufacturing facilities and plan to build a new facility for research and development in
order to increase our product development and manufacturing capabilities and our product registrations in
regulated markets. These products will be across existing technology platforms, such as aqueous, emulsion and
colloidal solutions, as well as new technology platforms, such as lyophilized, and delivery systems, including
pre-filled syringes. We have also initiated our foray into the oncology segment.

Grow sales in regulated markets through business arrangements


We have a presence in regulated markets such as the United States, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and South Africa and plan to establish our business presence in Japan. We plan to further grow our
business in the United States and other regulated markets by expanding our sales and distribution network
through our business arrangement with the Pfizer group. We plan to grow our business in other regulated
markets through license and supply arrangements with companies that have an established presence in the
relevant markets.

Establish and expand our presence in key emerging markets


We also plan to increase our presence in emerging markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Saudi
Arabia, as well as to establish our business presence in new emerging markets, such as China, Russia, Turkey,
Egypt and Argentina. We believe that demand for our products in these markets will continue to grow in line
with changes in healthcare standards, insurance penetration and government spending on healthcare. Increased
sales in such countries would allow us to achieve economies of scale. We plan to expand our presence in these
markets by increasing our portfolio of product registrations and filings and by increasing our customer and
distributor base through marketing arrangements with local pharmaceutical companies.

Focus on increasing market share for certain key and high potential products
Certain of our key products, such as propofol, iron sucrose and hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole and have large markets worldwide. Based on our internal management estimates, these products
are manufactured in India only by a few companies for the global markets. We plan to focus our sales and
marketing efforts on these product groups to capture larger market shares.

We believe we are currently the only company in India that possesses the technology to produce unibag non-
PVC infusion system. This constitutes a unique competitive advantage domestically and, as non-PVC bags are
the preferred delivery system for certain products in regulated markets, this gives us a competitive advantage
over our Indian competitors. We expect our sales for products such as hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole to increase significantly once we obtain product registrations for this delivery system in the
regulated markets.

Maintain cost leadership by expanding capacities

52
We plan to expand our Clarion manufacturing facilities in Ahmedabad, India. These facilities are in a low-cost
location as compared to the facilities set up by our international competitors in North America or Western
Europe. We aim to ensure that we continue to maintain and grow margins and maintain our cost leadership in
the generic injectables business.

Book Building Process

Book building refers to the collection of Bids from investors within the Price Band, on the basis of the Red
Herring Prospectus and the Bid-cum-Application forms. The principal parties involved in the Book Building
Process are:

1. our Company;
2. the Book Running Lead Managers;

67
3. the Syndicate Members who are intermediaries registered with SEBI or registered as brokers with any
of the Stock Exchange and eligible to act as underwriters;
4. the Registrar to the Issue;
5. the Escrow Collection Banks; and
6. the SCSBs.

The Company is undertaking the Issue in accordance with the first proviso to Rule 19(2)(b)(ii) of the SCRR.
This Issue is being made for less than 25%, but not less than 10%, of the post Issue capital. Therefore, the Issue
is being made through the 100% Book Building Process wherein at least 60% of the Issue shall be Allotted to
QIBs on a proportionate basis. Our Company may allocate up to 30% of the QIB Portion to Anchor Investors at
the Anchor Investor Issue Price on a discretionary basis, out of which at least one-third will be available for
allocation to domestic Mutual Funds. In the event of under-subscription in the Anchor Investor Portion, the
balance Equity Shares shall be added to the QIB Portion. 5% of the Net QIB Portion shall be available for
allocation to Mutual Funds on a proportionate basis. The remainder of the QIB Portion shall be available for
allocation on a proportionate basis to QIBs (including Mutual Funds), subject to valid Bids being received from
them at or above the Issue Price. If at least 60% of the Issue cannot be allocated to QIBs, then the entire
application money will be refunded forthwith. Further, not less than 10% and 30% of the Issue will be available
for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, respectively,
subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. Under-subscription, if any, in any category,
except the QIB Portion, would be allowed to be met with spill-over from any other category or combination of
categories at the discretion of our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs and the Designated Stock
Exchange.

QIBs are not allowed to withdraw their Bid(s) after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. For further details, please see
“Terms of the Issue” on page 274.

The Book Building Process is subject to change. Investors are advised to make their own judgment about
investment through this process prior to making a Bid or Application in the Issue. Please refer to the
section titled “Terms of the Issue” beginning on page 274 of this Red Herring Prospectus for more
details. QIBs are not allowed to withdraw their Bid(s) after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. For further
details, please refer to the section “Terms of the Issue” beginning on page 274 of Red Herring Prospectus.

Steps to be taken by the Bidders for making a Bid or application in this Issue:

• Check eligibility for making a Bid. For further details, see the section titled “Issue Procedure”
beginning on page 282 of this Red Herring Prospectus. Specific attention of ASBA Bidders is invited
to the section titled “Issue Procedure – Issue Procedure for ASBA Bidders” on page 308 of this Red
Herring Prospectus;
• Ensure that you have a demat account and the demat account details are correctly mentioned in the Bid
cum Application Form;
• Ensure that the Bid cum Application Form is duly completed as per the instructions given in the Red
Herring Prospectus and in such form;
• Ensure that you have mentioned your PAN in the Bid cum Application Form (see the section titled
“Issue Procedure” beginning on page 282 of this Red Herring Prospectus);
• Ensure the correctness of your demographic details (as defined in the section titled “Issue Procedure –
Bidder’s Depository Account and Bank Account Details” on page 295 of this Red Herring Prospectus),
given in the Bid cum Application Form or ASBA Form, with the details recorded with your Depository
Participant;
• Bids by ASBA Bidders will only have to be submitted to the SCSBs at the Designated Branches.

submission of the ASBA Form to the SCSB to ensure that their ASBA is not rejected; and
• Bids by QIBs (other than ASBA Bids) will only have to be submitted to the BRLMs.

Illustration of Book Building Process and the Price Discovery Process

(Investors should note that the following is solely for the purpose of illustration and is not specific to this Issue.
Further, Anchor Investor Bids do not form part of the Book Building Process.)

Bidders (excluding Retail Individual Bidder(s) bidding at Cut-Off Price) can bid at any price within the Price
Band. For instance, assuming a Price Band of Rs. 20 to Rs. 24 per share, an issue size of 3,000 equity shares

68
and receipt of five bids from bidders, details of which are shown in the table below. A graphical representation
of the consolidated demand and price would be made available at the bidding centres during the bidding period.
The illustrative book as shown below indicates the demand for the shares of the issuer company at various
prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

Bid Quantity Bid Price (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription


500 24 500 16.67%
1,000 23 1,500 50.00%
1,500 22 3,000 100.00%
2,000 21 5,000 166.67%
2,500 20 7,500 250.00%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able to
issue the desired number of shares is the price at which the book cuts off, i.e., Rs. 22 in the above example. The
Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, will finalize the issue price at or below such cut-off, i.e., at or
below Rs. 22. All bids at or above this issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for
allocation in the respective categories.

Withdrawal of the Issue

The Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserves the right not to proceed with the Issue at any time after
the Bid/Issue Opening Date but before the Board meeting for Allotment. If the Company withdraws from the Issue,
it shall issue a public notice within two days of the closure of the Issue. The public notice shall be issued in the
same newspapers where the pre-Issue advertisements had appeared and the Company shall also promptly inform
the BSE and the NSE. If the Company withdraws the Issue after the Bid/Issue Closing Date and thereafter
determines that it will proceed with an initial public offering of its Equity Shares, it shall file a fresh draft red
herring prospectus with the SEBI.

We are also required to obtain final acknowledgement of the Prospectus from the RoC after it is filed with the RoC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsequent to Allotment, the Issue is also subject to obtaining the final listing and
trading approval of the Stock Exchange, which the Company shall apply for only after Allotment.

cum Application Form of that Bidder will prevail for the purpose of Allotment. In case of any discrepancy in the
data entered in the electronic book vis-à-vis the data contained in the physical or electronic Bid cum Application
Form, for a particular ASBA Bidder, the Registrar to the Issue will request rectified data from the relevant
SCSB. .

On the Bid/Issue Closing Date, extension of time will be granted by the BSE and the NSE only for uploading

BRLM and the Syndicate Members to the BSE and the NSE within half an hour of such closure.

The Company reserves the right to revise the Price Band during the Bidding/Issue Period in accordance with the
SEBI ICDR Regulations provided that the Cap Price is less than or equal to 120% of the Floor Price. The Floor
Price can be revised upwards or downwards to a maximum of 20% of the Floor Price advertised at least one day
before the Bid/Issue Opening Date. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or
downwards, the minimum application size shall remain [●] Equity Shares, irrespective of whether the Bid
Amount payable on such minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000.

In case of revision of the Price Band, the Bidding/Issue Period will be extended for three additional
Business Days (other than Saturdays) after revision of the Price Band, subject to the total Bidding/Issue
Period not exceeding 10 Business Days (other than Saturdays). Any revision in the Price Band and the
revised Bidding/Issue Period, if applicable, will be widely disseminated by notification to the BSE and
NSE, by issuing a press release and also by indicating the changes on the web sites of the BRLMs and at
the terminals of the Syndicate Members.

One of our Promoters, Sarjan Financial Private Limited, has, by a written undertaking dated April 19, 2010,
given consent for Equity Shares held by it to be considered as Promoters’ contribution to be locked in for a
period of three years from the date of Allotment, consisting of 20% of the post-Issue equity share capital of our
Company (“Promoters’ Contribution”).

The Promoters have pursuant to their undertaking dated April 19, 2010, agreed not to sell or transfer or pledge
their shares or otherwise dispose off in any manner, the Equity Shares forming part of the Promoters’
Contribution from the date of filing of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus until the commencement of the lock-in
period specified above.

This being a book-building issue of up to an aggregate amount of Rs. 3000 million, it is not possible to ascertain
the number of equity shares that will constitute 20% per cent of the post Issue Equity Share capital prior to
discovery of price under the book building process set out in Schedule XI read with regulation 28(3) of the SEBI
ICDR Regulations. The number of equity shares comprising the Promoters’ contribution will be included in the
final prospectus that will be filed with the Registrar of Companies, Ahmedabad. The Promoters have confirmed
that they hold sufficient number of Equity Shares eligible for Promoters’ contribution under regulation 33 of the
SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The Equity Shares that are being locked-in are not ineligible for computation of Promoter’s Contribution under
Regulation 33 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In this connection, as per Regulation 33 of the SEBI ICDR
Regulations, our Company confirms that the Equity Shares locked in do not consist of:

i. Equity Shares acquired during the preceding three years for consideration other than cash and revaluation of

77
assets or capitalization of intangible assets or bonus shares out of revaluations reserves or unrealised profits
or bonus shares which are otherwise ineligible for computation of Promoters’ Contribution;

ii. Equity Shares acquired during the preceding one year, at a price lower than the price at which the Equity
Shares are being offered to the public in the Issue;

iii. Equity Shares issued to the Promoters upon conversion of a partnership firm;

iv. Equity Shares held by the Promoters that are subject to any pledge; and

v. Equity Shares for which specific written consent has not been obtained from the respective shareholders for
inclusion of their subscription in the Promoters’ Contribution subject to lock-in.

The Promoters’ Contribution shall be brought in to the extent, not less than the specified minimum lot and
from the persons defined as “Promoters” under Regulation 2 (za) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

The SEBI ICDR Regulations require that an aggregate of 20% of the post-Issue shareholding of the Promoters
be considered as promoters’ contribution and locked-in for a period of three years. Such lock-in is required to
commence from the date of Allotment in the Issue and end on the date that is three years subsequent to the date
of Allotment in the Issue.

Details of share capital locked in for one year

In addition to the lock-in of the Promoter’s Contribution specified above, the entire pre-Issue share capital of the
Company will be locked in for a period of one year from the date of Allotment of the Equity Shares in this Issue,
except as provided below.

Pursuant to proviso (b) to Regulation 37 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Equity Shares held by VCFs or FVCI’s
for more than one year prior to filing the Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI would not be subject to the
above lock-in. Therefore, First Carlyle Ventures III being an FVCI, the Equity Shares held by it for more than
one year prior to the date of filing of this Red Herring Prospectus would not be subject to the lock-in above.
Carlyle has acquired 2,370,365 Equity Shares pursuant to a bonus issue within one year of the filing of the RHP.
Therefore out of 7,111,095 Equity Shares currently held by Carlyle, 4,740,730 Equity Shares have been held by
Carlyle (whether as convertible instrument or as Equity Shares) for a period of one year and will not be subject
to any lock-in. 2,370,365 Equity Shares held by Carlyle pursuant to the aforementioned bonus issue will be
locked in for a period of one year.

Therefore, 46,444,558 Equity Shares comprising the portion of the pre-Issue share capital of the Company
which would be under lock-in for a period of one year.

Other requirements in respect of lock-in

Pursuant to Regulation 39 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the locked-in Equity Shares held by the Promoters, as
specified above, can be pledged only with scheduled commercial banks or public financial institutions as
collateral security for loans granted by such scheduled commercial banks or public financial institution,
provided that the pledge of the Equity Shares is one of the terms of the sanction of the loan.

Provided that securities locked in as Promoters’ contribution for three years under Regulation 36(a) of the SEBI
ICDR Regulations may be pledged only if, in addition to fulfilling the above requirement, the loan has been
granted by such scheduled commercial bank or public financial institution for the purpose of financing one or
more of the objects of the Issue.

Pursuant to Regulation 40 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Equity Shares held by the Promoters may be
transferred to and amongst the Promoters, the Promoter Group or to new promoters or persons in control of the
Company subject to continuation of the lock-in in the hands of the transferees for the remaining period and
compliance with the Takeover Code.

Further, pursuant to Regulation 40 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Equity Shares held by persons other than
the Promoters prior to the Issue may be transferred to any other person holding the Equity Shares which are
locked-in as per Regulation 37 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, along with the Equity Shares proposed to be

78
transferred, provided that lock-in on such Equity Shares will continue for the remaining period with the
transferee and such transferee shall not be eligible to transfer such Equity Shares till the lock-in period stipulated
under the SEBI ICDR Regulations has ended, subject to compliance with the Takeover Code, as applicable.

In terms of Schedule XI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Equity Shares allotted to Anchor Investors shall be
locked in for a period of 30 days from the date of Allotment of such Equity Shares.

DETAILS OF THE OBJECTS

Setting up of a new plant comprising of a small volume parenteral line, a PVC bag line, a non-PVC
bag line, and a fat emulsion line

Due to a year-on-year increase in our capacity utilisation for the periods under review, other than for the
year ended December 31, 2008, and in particular in our capacity utilisation for the year ended
December 31, 2009 of our injectable products, our Company proposes to construct a new manufacturing
plant, and set up manufacturing lines for small volume parenterals, PVC bags, non-PVC bags and fat
emulsion products such as propofol. The Company has identified a plot of land admeasuring approximately
60,000 square metres adjacent to our Clarion Facilities, which is located at Taluka Sanand, Ahmedabad,
Gujarat. The Company proposes to acquire this plot out of the Proceeds of the Issue.

Some of the key products of our Company include ondansetron and iron sucrose, which are manufactured
in our small volume parenteral manufacturing line. In 2008, we obtained registrations for some of these
products from the USFDA. Furthermore, these products are also registered in Europe. We plan to develop
new small volume parenteral products and to commercialize them in the near future. We aim to increase
our sales in regulated markets and to introduce new products in small volume parenterals. As our current
manufacturing capacities may be insufficient to achieve this, we are required to increase them.

In injectables, the bag delivery system primarily comprises non-PVC bags and PVC bags. We offer various
products in bags predominantly in anti-infectives, infusions, and other general injectable products. Our
management expects that the demand for these bag products will increase in the near future due to the
expected demand for infusions in India and anti-infectives in the United States. We intend to increase our
existing capacity for the manufacture of PVC and non-PVC bags in line with such increased demand.

89
Propofol is one of the Company’s key products in terms of sales. We are in the process of getting Profol,
our brand of propofol in injectable form, registered in the regulated markets, such as the United States and
Europe. Since we perceive an increase in the demand of Profol and other fat emulsion products in certain
of the markets in which we sell our products as well as in the regulated markets (as and when we obtain
registrations for such products), we propose to increase the existing capacities by installing an additional
line in the new plant.

The costs involved for setting up the new plant are as follows:
(Rs. in million)
Sr. No. Particulars Amount

1. Land and civil construction 295.76

2. Setting up of common utilities 65.24

3. Setting up of a small volume parenteral line 192.26

4. Setting up of a PVC bag line 200.07

5. Setting up of a non-PVC bag line 284.22

6. Setting up of a fat emulsion line 278.30

Total 1,315.85

Below is the detailed break-up of costs for setting up this new plant.

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICALS INDUSTRY


Introduction
The pharmaceutical industry includes the discovery, development, manufacturing and distribution of drugs. It is
characterised by growth and investment in research and development. There is a trend in the industry towards an
increased use of generics in different countries due in part to government measures to contain healthcare costs
(Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global Generics, March 2009). The growth in the pharmaceutical industry
is driven by a continuing need for medication for the treatment of various diseases, demographic shifts that
strengthen this underlying demand and by improved healthcare infrastructure that provide people with greater
access to medication.

Market Segmentation
Geographical Classification
The global pharmaceuticals industry can be classified into two categories based on geography: regulated and
semi-regulated (or emerging) markets.

The regulated markets include developed countries such as the United States, the UK, Germany, France, Italy,
Canada, Japan and Australia and are primarily governed by stringent government regulations such as intellectual
property protection, including product patent recognition. As a result, regulated markets have greater stability
for both volumes and prices while a drug is under patent protection.

On the other hand, semi-regulated markets include developing countries (emerging markets of Asia, Africa,
Latin America) such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, which have lower entry barriers in terms of regulatory
requirements; hence they are highly competitive. The higher level of competition leads to a need for
differentiation. This requires companies to promote their products and therefore industry players compete on the
basis of brand, marketing and promotion and price.

Product Classification
The global pharmaceuticals industry can be classified into two categories based on patent status of the products:
patented products and generic products.

Pharmaceutical companies which hold patents for their products are given the right to exclude others from using
their patented products for any commercial purpose. Pharmaceutical patent holders are allowed a certain
exclusive marketing period mainly to earn the corresponding revenue on a product to recover the time and
resources they spent in inventing such product.

Generic products are pharmaceutical products that are not protected by patents. These are drugs marketed by
different companies but containing the same active ingredients. The costs for generics manufacturers to develop
their products and obtain regulatory approval to market and sell such products are considerably lower than for
patented product manufacturers. As a result, such companies can offer the same product at a greatly reduced
price post the expiry of the patent. In terms of the entire pharmaceutical market, the introduction of generic
products offer consumers a choice between patented or branded products and their generic counterparts,
resulting in greater competition and generally lower prices for drugs in the market.

THE GLOBAL GENERICS MARKET

114
Market Size and Growth Trends

The global generics market was valued at approximately USD 106.12 billion and grew at a rate of
approximately 12.56% in 2008, which is five times that of patented drugs (Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight –
Global Generics, March 2009). Between 2004 and 2008, the global generics market has grown at a CAGR of
18.83% as can be seen from the following graphs:

Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global Generics, March 2009

Eight key markets constituted approximately 80% of the total global generics market. North America accounted
for almost half of the global generics market in 2008, with the US accounting for approximately 41% and
Canada contributing 6%. In Europe, Germany held 10% market share and the UK held 6%. Japan’s share was
3%. (Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global Generics, March 2009)

Growth Drivers
The major growth drivers for the global generics market have been the increasing number of patent expiries of
blockbuster drugs and encouragement by governments across the world towards usage of generic products for

115
containing rising healthcare costs across the globe. (Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global Generics, March
2009)

Future Outlook
Going forward, the global generics market is expected to maintain this growth trend. Drugs worth approximately
USD 103 billion are expected to lose patent protection globally from 2009 to 2012, highlighting the significant
growth opportunity for generics going forward. (Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global Generics, March

expected to drive greater demand for generics in those markets. (Source: Cygnus, Industry Insight – Global
Generics, March 2009)

GLOBAL INJECTABLES INDUSTRY


Introduction
A significant proportion of pharmaceutical products are delivered to the human body as tablets or capsules,
orally. However, there are many drugs that are available only in injectable format due to issues of safety and
efficacy. There are also products which are available in oral and injectable forms, where the injectable form is
preferred when the patient is in a critical situation. These injectables by their very name cannot be consumed
orally and need to be injected or infused into the body. Due to this, injectables have certain specific
characteristics compared to oral dosage forms:

• They are more difficult to formulate and have multiple technology and delivery platforms
• They are more capital intensive to produce
• They are governed by tougher regulations
• They require specialised skills to formulate and produce
• The customer segments are almost exclusively hospitals where the decision making process and criteria is
distinct from individual doctors
(Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

The injectables industry, in comparison to the orals industry, is characterised by less competitive intensity, low
price erosion and higher profit margins. One of the major attractions of injectable generics is the potential for
companies to compete in a relatively exclusive market. A small number of injectable drugs have received
significant attention from generic companies, resulting in the approval of numerous versions following patent

116
expiry. For more than half of the injectable generics approved since 2004, just one or two manufacturers have
received ANDA approvals and 86% of molecules in the market have fewer than five injectable generic
competitors. Hence injectables are considered to be a specialty segment of the pharmaceuticals market. (Source:
Espicom Business Intelligence, Injectable Generic Drugs: Prospects & Opportunities to 2014, December 2009)

Competition for Generic Injectables

Source: Espicom Business Intelligence, Injectable Generic Drugs: Prospects & Opportunities to 2014, December 2009

This is a very lucrative industry segment because there is less competition in these products which reduces
scope for price reductions and enables players to obtain high profitability margins than have traditionally been
available for oral generics. (Source: Espicom Business Intelligence, Injectable Generic Drugs: Prospects &
Opportunities to 2014, December 2009)

Injectables are used in a more specific range of therapy areas e.g. oncology, anti-infectives, cardio-vascular,
renal, nutrition. A number of leading pharmaceutical drugs are available only in injectable form, e.g. most of the
biotechnology based drugs and oncology drugs are injectables (Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global
Generic Injectables Business, December 2009).

Injectables are made available in different delivery systems – vials, ampoules, bottles, pre-filled syringes, multi-
chamber bags, etc. Depending on the product, they could be large or small volume products. Typically, range of
Intravenous solutions used in critical care e.g. various kinds of electrolytic solutions – sodium chloride, ringer
lactones, normal saline, glucose etc. are delivered as infusion into the body. These are typically offered in the
following delivery systems:

• Small volume parenterals (SVP) - glass ampoules and vials of less than 100 ml;
• Large volume parenterals (LVP) - glass vials and bottles of 100 ml and above;
• Bags - could be made of PVC or non-PVC; and
• Pre-filled syringes.

(Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

Besides, infusion products, the injectables business consist of a large number of specialty products which are
used across various therapeutic categories – oncology, anti-infectives, anaesthetics, etc. These products as a
category are called Specialty Injectable Products (SIP). (Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic
Injectables Business, December 2009)

MARKET SIZE AND SEGMENTATION

The estimated total market size for injectables (both infusion and SIP) was approximately USD 143 billion in
2009. This accounts for about 20% of the estimated USD 750 billion global pharmaceuticals market in 2009.
(Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

117
Generic and Innovator Injectable Markets
As in the conventional oral dosage pharmaceutical markets, the injectable business can also be segmented into
generic and innovator product segments. The generic injectables business is estimated at about USD 20 billion
globally in 2009 – about 15% of the world-wide market for injectables. (Source: Avalon Global Research, The
Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

Global Market for Injectables (USD billion)

Geographic Segmentation
The United States and the European Union are the largest regulated markets for injectables, accounting for
approximately 90% of the regulated markets. The United States is the largest market for generic and non-
biological injectables, accounting for about 51% of the global market. Emerging markets account for 20% of the
global generic injectables market. (Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business,
December 2009)

Geographical Breakdown – Global Injectables Market, 2009

Therapeutic Segmentation
A large share of biological injectables are oncology products. However, in the non-biological products (both
generic and innovator products), while oncology is an important therapy, others like anti-infectives, anaesthetics
and cardio-vascular are also important product categories. Thus, therapy segments like anti-infectives and

118
anaesthesia account for about a third of the global market, primarily SIP. (Source: Avalon Global Research, The
Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

Therapeutic Share – Non-Biological Global Injectables Market

Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009

Future Outlook
Global generic injectables are expected to grow rapidly and is estimated to reach USD 33 billion in size in 2014,
up from USD 20 billion in 2009. This growth is driven by a large number of innovator injectable products going
off-patent (both oncology and other therapies) in the non-biologicals segment and limited price erosion in these
products, even after becoming generics, due to limited competition compared to oral dosage products. (Source:
Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009)

Future Trends – Global Generic Injectables

Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables Business, December 2009

Since most of the products going off-patent in the coming years are SIP, the growth of this product range will be
much higher than infusion products. (Source: Avalon Global Research, The Global Generic Injectables
Business, December 2009)

Market Dynamics
The injectables industry segment is a specialized and niche area within the pharmaceuticals industry due to the
high complexity involved in building a large and complex product portfolio across various therapeutics based on
multiple technology platforms and multiple delivery mechanisms. Injectables are manufactured in various

119
delivery systems and manufacturing technology depending on molecule, method of administration, containers,
etc. as depicted in the table below:

Products Delivery Systems


Aqueous-based products Water based formulation
Small volume parenteral in glass Injection is in glass containers in fill volumes of less than 100ml
containers
Large volume parenterals in glass Injection is in glass containers in fill volumes of 100ml and above
containers
Products in collapsible bags Products which are filled in bags made of PVC / non-PVC material
Emulsions based products Products not soluble in water are formulated in oil or any other solution
to make it stable
Multi chamber bags For combination drugs, which are not stable together, are filled in two
or more chambers
Pre-filled syringes Products filled in syringes for immediate administration
Lyophilized Products that are manufactured in freeze dried condition.
Dry powder Products, which are not stable in solution, are filled as dry powder

Less Competitive Intensity, Low Price Erosion and High Profit Margins

accounted for 36.06% of our total sales during this period. For the financial years ended December 31, 2009,
2008 and 2007, our revenue in regulated markets amounted to Rs. 1,410.10 million, Rs. 327.73 million and Rs.
315.56 million, respectively, which accounted for 18.97%, 4.36%, and 5.28% of our total sales, respectively.

In addition to growing our international business, we continue to maintain our focus on the domestic business.
For the five month period ended May 31, 2010 our revenue in our domestic business was Rs. 1,259.91 million
which accounted for 38.77% of our total revenues during this period. For the financial years ended December
31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, our revenue in our domestic business was Rs. 3,367.07 million, Rs. 3,748.81 million
and Rs. 3,797.08 million, respectively, which accounted for 45.29%, 49.84%, and 63.59%, respectively, of our
total revenues.

Our manufacturing facilities are located in Ahmedabad, India. Certain of these facilities have been approved by
foreign regulatory authorities including the USFDA, MHRA (UK), TGA (Australia), NAM (Finland), GCC
FDCA (Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and other countries in the Middle East) and
INVIMA (Colombia). One of our facilities, Clarion V, is currently under construction and we expect it to be
operational by the third quarter of 2011. Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-2000 and WHO GMP
certified. In addition, the Company has won the Indian Drug Manufacturer Association’s Quality Excellence
Award in 2007 and 2008 and the Frost & Sullivan India Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and
2009 in recognition of the quality of its practices. The Company has also been given a certificate of excellence
by the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation of Sri Lanka at the 13th SPC Suppliers Covention 2010. The Company
has also been awarded the Silver Award in the Pharmaceutical Sector by Greentech Foundation for the
Company’s outstanding achievement in safety management in respect of its manufacturing operations. In
addition to manufacturing our own products which we sell under our own brands, we use our facilities to
manufacture products which are sold to Indian and international companies who market such products under
their own brands.

Out of our products offering, one of our key products, propofol, represented approximately 14.84% of our total
sales for the financial year ended December 31, 2009 and for the five month period ended May 31, 2010
represented approximately 12.52% of our total sales in that period. We hold patents for APIs for our hydroxyl
ethyl starch product. Our regulatory team has developed capabilities and processes to file product registrations
in regulated and emerging markets; as of September 30, 2010, we had obtained over 1,100 registrations
worldwide and approximately 324 applications were pending approval.

We adopt three different distribution models for the supply of our products across international markets. In
certain countries, we register, import and store products as well as market them to customers through entities
owned and controlled by us. In certain other countries, we partner with local distributors who import and
distribute our products and, under our supervision, carry out marketing activities. In the rest of the countries
where we operate, distributors and marketing partners are responsible for marketing our products. In March
2009, we entered into a business arrangement with the Pfizer group of companies (“Pfizer”) with a view to
strengthen our presence in regulated markets. We believe Pfizer’s ability to market our products will extend the
reach of our products and enable our business to grow in regulated markets in which Pfizer has a significant
presence. In addition to the seven ANDAs in relation to four products granted by the USFDA, we have, pursuant
to an asset purchase and technology license agreement entered into with a pharmaceutical company, acquired 24
ANDAs for 16 products, out of which four ANDAs for two products were granted to us prior to this agreement,
and two ANDAs for two products are yet to be granted by the USFDA. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010,
we have been granted 25 ANDAs in relation to 16 products by the USFDA in aggregate. For further details in
relation to the asset purchase and technology license agreement please see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments” on page 209 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.

123
Our domestic business is driven by our own sales and marketing network. As of September 30, 2010, we had a
sales division of approximately 422 people covering various territories across India. We also had a network of
approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40 distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in the
country.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we incurred Rs. 1,065.95 million, Rs.
1,945.29 million and Rs. 1,444.70 million, respectively, in capital expenditure to expand our production
capacity and upgrade technology in our manufacturing facilities. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010,
we incurred Rs. 565.44 million in capital expenditure to further expand our production capacity and upgrade
technology in our manufacturing facilities. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in 2010, 2011 and
2012 to set up new production lines as well as a research and development facility. For further details on our
planned capital expenditures, please see the sections titled “Objects of the Issue” and “History and Certain
Corporate Matters” on pages 88 and 145, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS


The following are our key strengths which we believe enable us to be competitive in our business:

Complex product portfolio


We believe we have a differentiated business model among Indian pharmaceutical companies due to our focus
on a range of complex injectable products. We have established a portfolio of injectable products across various
therapeutic segments, technologies and delivery systems. We have developed 98 products formulated from our
portfolio of approximately 57 molecules. Our product portfolio comprises complex molecules, such as propofol
and iron sucrose. Further, we believe our portfolio of injectables is one of the largest amongst Indian
pharmaceutical companies. Our products span multiple technology platforms, including aqueous solutions as
well as complex colloidal solutions, liposomal products and emulsions. These products are available across
delivery systems, such as ampoules, vials, bottles ranging from 1 ml to 2000 ml, multi-chamber bags in PVC
and non-PVC material. Hospitals are our key customers for injectables. Sales to hospitals are driven by a
combination of width and depth in product range. By increasing the size of our product portfolio, we have been
able to achieve sales growth in various markets.

Manufacturing competence across multiple drug delivery systems


Our products require an understanding of sophisticated technical processes and quality assurance methods to be
able to maintain sterility. We believe we are one of the few manufacturers in India and in other emerging
markets to have manufacturing facilities for large volume parenterals in glass bottles, emulsions manufacturing
facilities and bag manufacturing facilities which are approved by multiple regulatory authorities in the regulated
markets.

We have purchased technologies from international suppliers, such as double pass reverse osmosis system from
Christ (Switzerland); distillation columns from Stillmas (Italy); manufacturing vessels from Diesel (Germany);

We have entered into business arrangements with the Pfizer group as well as with other local companies in
regulated markets to grow our distribution network and to strengthen our sales and marketing presence across 76
countries.

As of September 30, 2010, we had a sales team of approximately 422 people who primarily sold our products to
hospitals in India. We employed a total sales force of about 107 people for the international markets.

As of September 30, 2010, we had a network of approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40
distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in India, enabling us to reach a significant number of
hospitals, institutions and doctors. We also have existing business relationships with institutional public and
private hospitals in the international markets. Our products are on the list of approved products maintained by
certain hospitals in India and abroad to which we market our products.
Integrated business model
We believe that our capabilities and experience span across all business verticals in the generic injectables
industry. We have a trained workforce across business divisions, such as R&D for product development,
regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, supply chain management, and sales and
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables business will allow us to better control variables in our
business processes.

While we are dependent on various third parties such as distributors, consignee agents, clearing and forwarding
agents, etc., for the marketing and distribution of our products, we believe our integrated business model allows
us to reduce our dependence on third parties. For further details please refer to the section titled ‘Risk Factors -
Our success is dependent on our distribution and marketing arrangements, including the one with Pfizer, for the
sale and distribution of our products and on our relationship with our customers. If any of these arrangements
is terminated for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected’ please refer to page 25 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

R&D capabilities
We believe our expertise in developing complex and difficult to develop products such as propofol, iron
sucrose, hydroxyl ethyl starch and glutamine IV and complex and difficult to develop delivery systems, such as
multichamber bags, provides us with a competitive advantage. For example, we believe we were one of first
companies’ in India to have developed a unibag non-PVC infusion system, which provides us with a
competitive advantage as non-PVC bags are the preferred delivery system in regulated markets. Additionally, as
of September 30, 2010, we had three registered patents and fifteen patent applications pending in India.

Total expenditures for our research and development (“R&D”) activities relating to continuing operations,
including product development costs, were Rs. 633.40 million, Rs. 368.08 million and Rs. 218.53 million for the
financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total expenditures for our R&D
activities relating to continuing operations, including product development costs, were Rs. 335.72 million for
the five month period ended May 31, 2010.

We have the R&D capability and experience to develop, manufacture and register products across various
delivery systems to increase the efficiency of drug delivery and make our products better suited to market
requirements. As of September 30, 2010, we employed approximately 75 scientists and specialists in India for
our R&D activities. The size of our R&D team has grown approximately 74% since December 31, 2008 in line
with our regulated markets strategy.

Committed senior management team and a well-qualified workforce


Our management team includes senior executives, a majority of whom have worked with the Company for over
five years. We believe our management team has a long-term vision and provides stability and continuity to our
business. We also believe that the strength of our management team in our business divisions, such as R&D for
product development, regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, and sales and
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables market will enable our business to grow in a focused and
constructive manner.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 493 of our employees in India were post-graduates and around 805
held graduate degrees. We believe we benefit from a well-qualified workforce. Selling and marketing
injectables involves developing capabilities to cater to multiple levels within hospitals. We believe we have
developed a close association with hospitals as a result of our sales and marketing network. Our regulatory team

125
has significant capabilities and experience in filing product registrations in regulated and emerging markets. We
have obtained over 1,100 registrations across 76 countries.

For the risks relating to dependence on our senior management team and a well-qualified workforce, please see
“Risk Factors – We are dependent upon the experience and skill of our management team and key employees.”
On page 31 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Cost advantage
A significant majority of our products are manufactured in India. This, coupled with the process efficiencies
which we have developed in our Clarion facilities, we believe contributes to our production cost advantage over
those of our competitors which manufacture their products in high cost developed markets.

OUR STRATEGY
Our business objective is to grow our revenues and profits through increased market presence. We intend to do
so by increasing our product offerings in key emerging and regulated markets, through strategic business
arrangements as well as by maintaining our focus on our domestic business. Our business strategy focuses on
the following elements:

Increase our product range across existing and new technology platforms and delivery systems
As of September 30, 2010, we had filed 280 applications for product registrations in regulated markets,
including 36 applications in the United States, out of which we had obtained 145 product registrations, including
25 in the United States. We intend to apply for additional approvals from the USFDA and from various other
regulatory authorities for our manufacturing facilities and products to enable us to sell more of our products in
these markets. We are primarily targeting injectable products which have or are due to go off-patent in regulated
markets.

We are expanding our manufacturing facilities and plan to build a new facility for research and development in
order to increase our product development and manufacturing capabilities and our product registrations in
regulated markets. These products will be across existing technology platforms, such as aqueous, emulsion and
colloidal solutions, as well as new technology platforms, such as lyophilized, and delivery systems, including
pre-filled syringes. We have also initiated our foray into the oncology segment.

Grow sales in regulated markets through business arrangements


We have a presence in regulated markets such as the United States, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and South Africa and plan to establish our business presence in Japan. We plan to further grow our
business in the United States and other regulated markets by expanding our sales and distribution network
through our business arrangement with the Pfizer group. We plan to grow our business in other regulated
markets through license and supply arrangements with companies that have an established presence in the
relevant markets.

Establish and expand our presence in key emerging markets


We also plan to increase our presence in emerging markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Saudi
Arabia, as well as to establish our business presence in new emerging markets, such as China, Russia, Turkey,
Egypt and Argentina. We believe that demand for our products in these markets will continue to grow in line
with changes in healthcare standards, insurance penetration and government spending on healthcare. Increased
sales in such countries would allow us to achieve economies of scale. We plan to expand our presence in these
markets by increasing our portfolio of product registrations and filings and by increasing our customer and
distributor base through marketing arrangements with local pharmaceutical companies.

Focus on increasing market share for certain key and high potential products
Certain of our key products, such as propofol, iron sucrose and hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole and have large markets worldwide. Based on our internal management estimates, these products
are manufactured in India only by a few companies for the global markets. We plan to focus our sales and
marketing efforts on these product groups to capture larger market shares.

We believe we are currently the only company in India that possesses the technology to produce unibag non-
PVC infusion system. This constitutes a unique competitive advantage domestically and, as non-PVC bags are

126
the preferred delivery system for certain products in regulated markets, this gives us a competitive advantage
over our Indian competitors. We expect our sales for products such as hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole to increase significantly once we obtain product registrations for this delivery system in the
regulated markets.

Maintain cost leadership by expanding capacities


We plan to expand our Clarion manufacturing facilities in Ahmedabad, India. These facilities are in a low-cost
location as compared to the facilities set up by our international competitors in North America or Western
Europe. We aim to ensure that we continue to maintain and grow margins and maintain our cost leadership in
the generic injectables business.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
There has been no material development in relation to our Company, its Promoters or our Group Companies
since May 31, 2010, except as disclosed below.

Product Recall

We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products, namely,
ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and ondansetron that were contaminated or suspected to be contaminated; pursuant
to which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from the United States, Denmark,
Finland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The recalls were initiated by us and by certain of our partners in
Australia and the United States pursuant to receipt of complaints of contamination in some of our products,
which could have posed risks if administered to patients, and in certain circumstances, could prove to be fatal.
Further, the USFDA has imposed an import alert on us and our products, which is subsisting.

Furthermore, the USFDA carried out an inspection at our manufacturing facilities at Ahmedabad, in addition to
earlier inspections carried out at the premises of our wholly owned subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc.,
subsequent to which a warning letter dated November 1, 2010 (the “Warning Letter”) was issued to us
mentioning the following:

1. The Company violated the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“CGMP”) regulations for Finished
Pharmaceuticals (Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations), which caused our drug products to be adulterated
within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDC Act”).
2. We failed to submit field alert reports to the USFDA in compliance with the USFDA regulations as
required by the FFDC Act.
3. Based on a review of the labeling/misbranding for the Sodium Bicarbonate Injection drug product
manufactured by us and marketed through our subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc., we had marketed,
introduced or delivered for introduction an unapproved new drug product into inter-state commerce within
the United States, which was in violation of the provisions of the FFDC Act and was subject to an import
detention in the United States.
4. Violations of the post-marketing adverse drug experience reporting; which is required under the Code of
Federal Regulations as well as the FFDC Act.
5. Despite various responses from us and Claris Lifesciences Inc. to the USFDA in relation to the CGMP
violations, the field alert reporting violations, the unapproved new drug violations and adverse drug
experience reporting violations, the USFDA has stated in the Warning Letter that these responses lack
sufficient corrective actions.

A non-compliance of the FFDC Act may result in the FDA issuing warning letters, filing injunctions, seizing
our products and pursuing civil and criminal prosecution for violations of the Act. Under applicable Unites
States law, individuals who violate the Act can be fined $100,000 per count ($250,000 if a death occurs) and
corporations can be fined USD 200,000 per count (U.S. $500,000 if a death occurs). Jail time can result if
convicted of the criminal charges, corporations can be excluded from participating in Federal Health Care
Programs and if serious enough violations occur, individuals and firms may be debarred (excluded from
working in the pharmaceutical industry). We cannot assure you that any penalty imposed by the USFDA will
not exceed the amounts quantified in this paragraph.

Additionally, the registration of the Company and its products was suspended by the Drug and Food Control,
Ministry of Health, State of Kuwait from June 8, 2010 till August 22, 2010, as a result of which the Company’s
products were not marketed in Kuwait during that period.

127
Term Loan

On October 1, 2010, two term loans of Rs. 191.80 million and Rs. 278.60 million were sanctioned to the
Company by Central Bank of India for setting up of a fat emulsion manufacturing line and towards capital
expenditure for research and development, respectively. These loans are not expected to be used in relation to
any of the use of Issue proceeds.

Acquisition of further ANDAs


Pursuant to an asset purchase and technology license agreement entered into with a pharmaceutical company,
we had, subject to the approval of the USFDA, acquired the rights, title and interest in 24 ANDAs, granted by
the USFDA, authorising us to promote, market, distribute and sell 16 pharmaceutical products underlying the
ANDAs in the United States of America which was approved by the USFDA on or about June and July 2010.
Out of these 24 ANDAs, four ANDAs for two products were granted to us prior to this agreement, and two
ANDAs for two products are yet to be granted by the USFDA. Further, we acquired a perpetual and transferable
right and license to use the documentation relating to the development and manufacture of certain generic
pharmaceutical products as well as the product technology related to such generic pharmaceutical products, for
the purpose of manufacturing and commercializing these generic pharmaceutical products for sale within the
United States of America. As of September 30, 2010, we have been granted 25 ANDAs in relation to 16
products by the USFDA.

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
Manufacturing Facilities
Our Clarion manufacturing facilities are located in village Chacharwadi Vasana, Taluka Sanand, Ahmedabad,
Gujarat. They are designed to produce complex aqueous and emulsion-based products in glass/PE containers
and bags. The first manufacturing facility was commissioned in March 2002. The Clarion facilities are equipped
to manufacture products like propofol, iron sucrose, hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and metronidazole as
well as delivery systems, such as multi-chamber bags.

The Clarion manufacturing facilities include five facilities:

• Clarion I, which is used to manufacture sterile injectable products. The plant has five separate
manufacturing lines for: glass ampoules and vials line, large volume parenterals in glass, emulsion
manufacturing, non-PVC bags and PVC bags;
• Clarion II, which is used to manufacture sterile infusion products. This infusion plant is dedicated to the
blow-fill and seal technology products and is equipped to manufacture products in various volumes in the
IV fluids and antibiotic segments;
• Clarion III, which is dedicated to manufacture highly complex and difficult to source APIs meant solely for
captive consumption;
• Clarion IV has the same manufacturing lines as Clarion I for large volume parenterals in glass, emulsion
manufacturing and non-PVC bags, but houses more sophisticated and advanced equipment achieving higher
manufacturing capacities. Such equipment includes a fully automatic bag manufacturing machine which
can be used to produce single, double and triple chamber bags.
• Clarion V, which will be used to manufacture sterile injectable products as well as to manufacture cytotoxic
products in different delivery systems. We expect Clarion V to be operational by the third quarter of 2011.
It will have a fully automatic line that includes highly complex cytotoxic manufacturing technology, which
our management considers to be a high growth technology. We believe Claris will be one of few Indian
companies to use such technology.

The major process equipment consists of mixing systems, forming bottles, integrated automated machines for
filling and sealing PVC and non-PVC bags, sterilization and packaging equipment. The facilities also have
dedicated quality assurance and control function areas, raw material and packaging material storage areas,
general quarantine areas, finished goods storage areas, manpower change rooms and production office areas. We
rely primarily on automated process equipment in our manufacturing units to reduce human touch during
manufacturing in order to prevent contamination.

Capacity

128
As at December 31, 2009, we had an installed manufacturing capacity of 262.02 million units per annum for our
products. The table below sets out our installed capacity and level of production of major product classes for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

*The Company discarded its cephalosphorin line, which is one of its small volume parenteral manufacturing lines, in fiscal
2009.

Raw Materials and Packaging Materials


Raw materials essential to our business are procured in the ordinary course of business from numerous
suppliers. As at September 30, 2010, we procured approximately 394 types of raw materials out of which 103
were imported and 291 were supplied domestically. We purchase such materials from approximately 88
international suppliers and approximately 181 domestic suppliers.

We purchase primary packaging materials, such as glass ampoules, vials, glass bottles, PVC and non-PVC
bags/films and rubber stoppers, primarily from international suppliers.

We carefully assess the reliability of all materials purchased to ensure that they comply with the rigorous quality
and safety standards required for our products. For products sold in regulated markets, we source our raw
materials and packaging materials from vendors who provide materials of suitable quality in accordance with
applicable requirements in the relevant markets.

In an effort to manage risks associated with raw materials supply, we work closely with our suppliers to help
ensure availability and continuity of supply while maintaining quality and reliability. Our raw material sourcing
is not dependant on a single source of supply and we have access to alternate sources for our procurement of
raw materials. For further details on our risk with respect to the raw materials procured by us, please see the
section titled “Risk Factors” on page 18 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Other Facilities
Our Company set up a 2.0 MW biomass-based power plant in 2006 at its manufacturing facilities for captive
consumption. The plant was registered at the United Nations Framework for Climate Change (UNFCCC) in
2009.

Quality Standards
Our manufacturing facilities have received WHO GMP certification and our management system has been ISO
9001-2000 certified since 2004. Other international regulatory authorities, including the USFDA, MHRA (UK)
and TGA (Australia), have approved certain of our manufacturing units. Specifically, our sterile injectable
manufacturing facility, Clarion I, received approval from the USFDA in March 2007. The Company also
received an approval from the USFDA for its aseptic manufacturing line in Clarion I in March 2010. In addition,
the Company has won the Indian Drug Manufacturer Association’s Quality Excellence Award in 2007 and 2008
and the Frost & Sullivan India Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and 2009 in recognition of the
quality of its practices.

We place significant emphasis on providing quality products and services to our customers. To this end, we
strive to maintain safety, environmental and quality standards at all our manufacturing facilities. Quality
management plays an essential role in determining and meeting customer requirements, preventing defects and
improving our products and services. We have a network of quality systems throughout our business units and
facilities which relate to the design, development, manufacturing, packaging, sterilisation, handling, distribution
and labelling of our products. To assess and facilitate compliance with applicable requirements, we regularly
review our quality systems to determine their effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. We also
perform assessments on our suppliers of raw materials, components and finished goods. In addition, we conduct
quality management reviews designed to inform management of key issues that may affect the quality of

129
products and services. The Company has been awarded the Silver Award in the Pharmaceutical Sector by
Greentech Foundation for the Company’s outstanding achievement in safety management in respect of its
manufacturing operations.

Newly developed system evaluation methods, allowing simpler performance comparisons, are used to identify
additional improvement possibilities.

SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK


Sales and distribution constitute key components of the value chain in our industry. We have focused on
building a sales and distribution network suited to service the needs of hospitals and other medical institutions.
In the domestic business, as of September 30, 2010, we distributed our products through a network of
approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40 distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists. This
network plays an important role in ensuring timely and adequate availability and supply of our products to
customers.

In our international business, we adopt different distribution models depending on the potential demand for our
products in the relevant countries. We have divided the countries in which we market our injectable products
into three corresponding tiers. We follow a separate business model for each of these tiers. Under the first
model, which is similar to our domestic Indian distribution model, we focus on growing our presence through
our own sales and distribution network and by using our own brands and personnel to manage the business. This
model covers countries such as the United States. Under the second model, we partner with local distributors
who import and distribute our products and, under our supervision, carry out marketing activities. This model
primarily covers countries such as Chile, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Vietnam. Under
the third model, we follow a distribution model whereby distributors and marketing partners carry out and are
responsible for marketing and selling our products.

In March 2009, we entered into a 15-year business arrangement with Pfizer with a view to strengthen our
presence in regulated markets. We believe this business arrangement will increase our product coverage by
tapping into Pfizer’s existing sales, marketing and distribution network for our licensed products, and will
enable us to grow our business in certain regulated markets, which would otherwise require significant capital
investments to penetrate.

In India, we also make sales to and through independent distributors, drug wholesalers acting as sales agents,
and specialty pharmacy or homecare companies. As our eventual sales are driven by the product decisions made
by specialists such as anaesthetists and surgeons, our sales representatives regularly interact with medical
practitioners and disseminate information about our products.

Sales and distribution methods include frequent contact by sales representatives, automated communications,
circulation of catalogues and merchandising bulletins, direct-mail campaigns, trade publication presence and
advertising.

In addition, we participate in medical conferences in different parts of India as well as countries like Indonesia,
Colombia, Kazakhstan and Philippines.

In our supply chain network in India, the first supply chain partner is a clearing and forwarding agent, a
consignee agent or a logistic service provider. The second supply chain partner could be a stockist and/or a
retailer. In certain cases, our Company will supply directly to the customer.

THERAPEUTIC AREAS
Our product offering comprises 128 products, which are primarily aimed at consumption in hospitals. Our
domestic and international businesses are spread across the following therapeutic areas: anaesthesia, critical
care, anti-infectives and anti-fungal, renal care, infusion therapy, clinical nutrition and oncology.

Anaesthesia

131
Products in this therapeutic area are used to induce local, regional or general anaesthesia during surgeries. Our
key product in this therapeutic area is propofol. Propofol is an injectable anaesthetic drug that allows targeted
use of the drug for short durations and helps in inducing and regulating anaesthesia levels, especially in major
surgeries, without the side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, which are commonly associated with other
drugs used for anaesthesia. It is considered a drug of choice for general anaesthesia. This product is based on the
emulsion platform and is currently sold in 48 countries across the world.

Other products in this therapeutic area include Sedoz (midazolam), which is used for sedation with anaesthetic
drugs, as well as Ketajex (ketamine), Bupican (bupivacaine) and Sensinil (lidocaine), which are used for local
anaesthesia and analgesia.

Our products currently sold in this therapeutic area include:

Critical Care Products


Products in this segment are used during or after the surgical conditions or trauma conditions for the treatment
or recovery. The major products which are covered in this category are: plasma volume expanders (“PVEs”)
and blood products, which are used when the human body loses blood in large quantities. PVEs hold the blood
pressure of the body and stabilise the body by restoring the blood volume, water and crucial salts.

In this therapeutic area, our product range includes TetraHES (tetrastarch) and Hestar (pentastarch), for which
we have been granted patents in India.

Our blood products range includes Norglobin (human immunoglobulin), which caters to the needs of patients
with immuno deficiency that reduces the capacity of the human body to fight diseases, and Humin (human
albumin), used primarily in hypovolacmic patients to maintain or increase colloidal osmotic pressure.

Anti-Infectives and Anti-Fungals


Anti-infectives and anti-fungals constitutes one of our key therapeutic areas. Anti-infectives and anti-fungals in
sterile injectables are required for hospital treatment to combat both systemic and nosocomial (hospital
acquired) infections. We offer a range of anti-infective products in sterile injectables and products in
nitroimidazole, fluoroquinolone and oxazolidine categories. Our key products in this therapeutic area include
Anzolid (linezolid IV), Ciprox (ciprofloxacin IV), Curadex (ofloxacin IV), Levox (levofloxacin IV), Metris
(metronidazole IV) and Exomax (fluconazole IV). These are broad-spectrum antibiotics / anti-fungals targeted

Renal Care
Our renal care products are used during haemodialysis, for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (“CAPD”)
and to treat transplant patients who have kidney failure. Dialysis is a method for removing waste products such
as potassium, urea and free water from the blood in case of renal failure. Haemodialysis and CAPD are two
different methods of performing a dialysis on patients suffering from kidney failure. We have an integrated
presence in this therapeutic area across all the above segments.

We offer dialysis and transplant products across systems, solutions and medicines. Our transplant therapy
products include immuno-suppressants Cyrin (cyclosporine), Limus (sirolimus), Mygraft (mycophenolate
mofetil) and Renograf (multi organ perfusion solution). In this therapeutic area we also manufacture and market
Trisafe, which is a triple chamber CAPD system with enhanced biocompatibility.

We also focus on renal anaemia management as a part of our renal care therapy. Anaemia and malnutrition are
major symptoms of patients suffering from renal failure. Our key products in this therapeutic area are Sucrofer
(iron sucrose), Erythropoetin (epotin) for renal anaemia, and Ketolog (alpha-keto analogue of amino acids) for
patient nutrition management. Iron sucrose is an intravenous form of iron used to replenish iron stores and
correct anemia in patients with iron deficiency anemia; it is used in renal therapy and given in conjunction with
erythropoietin in order to increase the growth of red blood cells.

Clinical Nutrition
Products in this segment include parenteral nutrition (“PN”) products and enteral nutrition (“EN”) products.

PN involves the delivery of liquid nutrients by a parenteral route. In this therapeutic area, we sell a wide range
of nutrition products which provide the various components of nutrition namely carbohydrates, fats, protein,
minerals and water in different delivery systems. Our key brands in this therapeutic area include TNA/TNA-
Peri, PNA and Celemix-G. TNA/ TNA Peri is a triple chamber bag system, which carries all the components of

Oncology
We have built a portfolio of oncology molecules. For this therapeutic area, our products are promoted to medical
practitioners such as medical oncologists, radiologists and onco-surgeons for the treatment of cancer patients.

Cancer therapy involves a treatment protocol consisting of surgery to remove cancer cells, radiation and/or of
chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells, and supportive medicine to manage the patients’ pain and other side
effects.

Our Company has been successful in introducing a product branded as Lipeg™, which is manufactured using
innovative pegylated liposomal technology. This technology allows for a targeted delivery of the basic molecule
(e.g. doxorubicin) that is cytotoxic or destructive in nature, confining it to the effected cancerous area, thus
benefiting the patient through reduced side effects.

Our products currently sold in this therapeutic area include:

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


Our investment in R&D is essential to our future growth. Accordingly, we are increasingly engaged in R&D
programs to develop innovative product delivery systems and manufacturing methods. We have a R&D facility
at Ahmedabad which was approved by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India on
December 13, 2000. The research focus is in the area of development of innovative product delivery systems,
including NDDS, for the management of critical illnesses. The Company is working to develop complex
technology platforms such as cytotoxic manufacturing technology, pre-filled syringes, lyophilized products and
liposomal drug delivery systems. We have previously used our research expertise in the area of parenteral fat
emulsions (lipid drug delivery systems) to manufacture propofol. We have also initiated a research program in
the field of biotechnology.

Our dedicated focus on research and development has resulted in over 1,100 product registrations and about 324
pending product filings globally. Our R&D team has developed formulations such as propofol, lipids,
PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin, hydroxy ethyl starch, iron sucrose, pamidronic acid, organ transplant solution
and triple chambered systems.

Our R&D team has developed closed system non-PVC bags (Unibag™) using proprietary multilayer film which
ensures flexibility, transparency and sterilization at 121°C. The team has continued to work on developing
injectables using drug delivery systems like PEGylated liposomal pegylation technology to enhance selected
oncology and anti-fungal. The Company plans to expand its infrastructure in the area of oncology. Total
expenditures for our R&D activities relating to continuing operations, including product development expenses,
were Rs. 633.40 million and Rs. 335.72 million for the financial year ended December 31, 2009 and for the five
month period ended May 31, 2010 respectively.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Trademarks and other proprietary rights are essential to our business. We also rely on patents, copyrights, trade
secrets, know-how and confidentiality agreements to develop, maintain and strengthen our competitive position.

135
We have trade secret agreements, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with our employees,
consultants and other business partners in R&D. Trade secret protection of unpatented confidential and
proprietary information is also important to us.

It is our policy to protect our products and technology through patents and trademarks on a worldwide basis.
This protection is sought in a manner that balances the cost of such protection against obtaining the greatest
value for our Company. We also recognise the need to promote the enforcement of our patents, trademarks and
other proprietary rights. We will continue to take commercially reasonable steps to enforce our patents and
trademarks around the world against potential infringers.

Trademarks
We have 116 registered trademarks in India and further applied to register 85 trademarks. We have also
registered a total of 38 trademarks and have 39 applications pending in international markets. Certain of our

product selection and registration decisions, coordinating between distributors and local authorities for product
registration and other business support operations such as making payments, orders, dispatches, inventory
monitoring and control.

COMPETITION
The markets in which we sell our injectables and delivery system products are highly competitive. The primary
competitive factors consist of quality, price, and size of product portfolio. To stay ahead of our competitors, we
regularly update existing technology and acquire or develop new technology for our pharmaceutical
manufacturing activities; we continuously seek new product registrations, marketing authorisations and other
approvals from Indian and foreign governmental authorities and health regulatory bodies to increase our product
offerings; we foray into key international markets through licensing arrangements or otherwise in order to grow
our business; we maintain a high level of involvement across our sales and marketing network to maximize our
presence in India and internationally; we aim to attract and retain key personnel on whom we rely for the

thereof, which are subject to change or modification by subsequent legislative, regulatory, administrative or
judicial decisions.

Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 /


Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1977

Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 was passed to establish Standards of Weights and Measures and
to regulate its use. Packaged Commodities Rules were framed under the Act to regulate packaged commodities.
The Act is designated to (a) standardise weights and measures, (b) control manufacture and sale of weights and
measures to ensure accuracy and (c) control over packaging commodities.

Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1977 – The provisions regarding packaged
commodities apply to a person who (a) make, manufacture, pack, sell or cause to be packed or sold or (b)
distribute, deliver or cause to be distributed or delivered or (c) offer, expose or possess for sale: any commodity
in packaged form. The package or the label securely attached to such packing must contain declaration on a
package or on label as prescribed.

Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (the “ECA”)

The ECA gives powers to the GoI to, among other things, regulate production, distribution and quality of
essential commodities including drugs, for maintaining or increasing supplies and for securing their equitable
distribution and availability at fair prices. Using the powers under it, various ministries/departments of the
Government have issued control orders for regulating production, distribution, quality aspects, movement and
prices pertaining to the commodities which are essential and administered by them. The state governments have
issued various control orders to regulate various aspects of trading in essential commodities.

Indian Boiler Regulations, 1950

The Indian Boiler Regulation is a legislation that covers all aspects of material and equipments utilised in the
manufacture of boilers for use in India, under the regulations any material or equipment to be imported into
India is required to contain a certificate that attests that the import complies with the regulations. The certificate
must also be endorsed by a Competent Authority designated

Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998 (“BMW Rules”)

The BMW Rules apply to all persons who generate, transport, treat, dispose or handle bio-medical waste in any
form and regulate the mode of treatment and disposal of bio-medical waste. The BMW Rules mandate every
occupier of an institution generating, collecting, transporting, treating, disposing and/or handling bio-medical
waste to take steps to ensure that such waste is handled without any adverse effect to human health and
environment and to apply to the prescribed authority for grant of authorisation. The BMW Rules further require
such person to submit an annual report to the prescribed authority and also to maintain records related to the
generation, collection, storage, transportation, treatment, disposal, and/or any form of handling of bio-medical
waste in accordance with rules and guidelines issued.

Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (“DCA”)


In order to maintain high standards of medical treatment, the DCA regulates the import, manufacture,

141
distribution and sale of drugs for the proper protection of drugs and medicines and prohibits the manufacture
and sale of certain drugs and cosmetics which are misbranded, adulterated, spurious or harmful. The DCA
specifies the requirement of a license for the manufacture, sale or distribution of any drug or cosmetic. It further
mandates that every person holding a license must keep and maintain such records, registers and other
documents as may be prescribed which may be subject to inspection by the relevant authorities.

Pharmacy Act, 1948 (“PA”)

The PA provides that all pharmacists require a registration under the PA, which registration process includes
providing: (a) the full name and residential address of the pharmacist; (b) the date of his first admission to the
register; (c) his qualifications for registration; (d) his professional address, and if he is employed by any person,
the name of such person; and (e) such further particulars as may be prescribed.

Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 1995 (the “DPCO”)

The first drug price control orders in India were issued under the Defence of India Act, 1963. Thereafter, from
1970 onwards and until the promulgation of the DPCO, drug price control orders were issued under the ECA.
The DPCO was promulgated under the ECA and is to be read with the DCA. The DPCO fixes the price for
certain APIs and formulations, which are called scheduled drugs and scheduled formulations, respectively.

The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (the “NPPA”), established under the DPCO on August 29, 1997,
is an independent body of experts responsible for the collection of data and study of the pricing structure of
APIs and formulations and to enforce prices and availability of medicines in the country, under the DPCO. The
NPPA monitors the prices of medicines as per monthly audit reports. Upon recommendation of the NPPA, the
Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, GoI, fixes the ceiling prices of the APIs and formulations and issues
notifications on drugs which are scheduled drugs and formulations. The NPPA arrives at the recommended
prices for the scheduled drugs and formulations after collection and analysis of data on costing which includes
data on raw material, composition, packing materials, process losses, overhead allocation and appointment,
capacity utilization, technical data on manufacturing work orders and packing work orders.

The GoI has the power under the DPCO to recover amounts charged in excess of the notified price from the
manufacturer, importer or distributor of the drugs and the said amounts are to be deposited in the Drugs Prices
Equalization Account. The penalty for contravention of any rules and regulations under the ECA or other
provisions of the DPCO is minimum imprisonment of three months, which may extend to seven years, and the
violator is also liable to pay fine. These provisions are applicable to all scheduled formulations irrespective of
whether they are imported or patented, unless they are exempt.

Prices of non-scheduled formulations are fixed by the manufacturers themselves keeping in view factors like
cost of production, marketing expenses, research and development expenses, trade commission, market
competition, product innovation and product quality. However, the prices of other (non-scheduled) drugs can be
regulated under the ECA and DPCO, if warranted in public interest. Under Section 7 of the ECA, the penalty for
contravention of the DPCO is a minimum imprisonment of three months, which may extend to seven years and
the violator is also liable to pay fine.

Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991

The Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991 (the “Public Liability Act”) imposes liability on the owner or
controller of hazardous substances for any damage arising out of an accident involving such hazardous
substances. A list of hazardous substances covered by the legislation has been enumerated by the Government
by way of a notification. The owner or handler is also required to take out an insurance policy insuring against
liability under the legislation. The rules made under the Public Liability Act mandate that the employer has to
contribute towards the environment relief fund, a sum equal to the premium paid on the insurance policies. The
amount is payable to the insurer.

Labour Legislations

Factories Act, 1948


The Factories Act, 1948, as amended (the “Factories Act”), defines a ‘factory’ to be any premises on which on
any day in the previous 12 months, 10 or more workers are or were working and in which a manufacturing
process is being carried on or is ordinarily carried on with the aid of power; or where at least 20 workers are or

142
were working on any day in the preceding 12 months and on which a manufacturing process is being carried on
or is ordinarily carried on without the aid of power. State governments prescribe rules with respect to the prior
submission of plans, their approval for the establishment of factories and the registration and licensing of
factories.

The Factories Act provides that the ‘occupier’ of a factory (defined as the person who has ultimate control over
the affairs of the factory and in the case of a company, any one of the directors) shall ensure the health, safety
and welfare of all workers while they are at work in the factory, especially in respect of safety and proper
maintenance of the factory such that it does not pose health risks, the safe use, handling, storage and transport of
factory articles and substances, provision of adequate instruction, training and supervision to ensure workers’
health and safety, cleanliness and safe working conditions. If there is a contravention of any of the provisions of
the Factories Act or the rules framed thereunder, the occupier and manager of the factory may be punished with
imprisonment or with a fine.

Minimum Wages Act, 1948

The legislation provides a framework for State governments to stipulate the minimum wage applicable to a
particular industry. The minimum wage may consist of a basic rate of wages and a special allowance; or a basic
rate of wages and the cash value of the concessions in respect of supplies of essential commodities; or an all-
inclusive rate allowing for the basic rate, the cost of living allowance and the cash value of the concessions, if
any. Workmen are to be paid for overtime at overtime rates stipulated by the appropriate government.
Contravention of the provisions of this legislation may result in imprisonment for a term up to six months or a
fine up to Rs. 500 or both.

Payment of Bonus Act, 1965

Pursuant to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, as amended (the “Bonus Act”), an employee in a factory or in any
establishment where 20 or more persons are employed on any day during an accounting year, who has worked
for at least 30 working days in a year is eligible to be paid a bonus. Contravention of the provisions of the Bonus
Act by a company is punishable with imprisonment or a fine, against persons in charge of, and responsible to the
company for the conduct of the business of the company at the time of contravention.

Employees State Insurance Act, 1948

The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948, as amended (the “ESI Act”) provides for certain benefits to
employees in case of sickness, maternity and employment injury. All employees in establishments covered by
the ESI Act are required to be insured, with an obligation imposed on the employer to make certain
contributions in relation thereto. In addition, the employer is also required to register itself under the ESI Act
and maintain prescribed records and registers.

Other legislation, which is applicable to the employment of labour by us in the course of our operations,
includes:

Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970

The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, as amended (the “CLRA”), requires establishments
that employ, or have employed on any day in the previous 12 months, 20 or more workmen as contract labour to
be registered and prescribes certain obligations with respect to the welfare and health of contract labour. The
CLRA requires the principal employer of an establishment to which it applies to make an application to the
registering officer in the prescribed manner for registration of the establishment. In the absence of registration,
contract labour cannot be employed in the establishment. Likewise, every contractor to whom the CLRA applies
is required to obtain a licence and not to undertake or execute any work through contract labour except under
and in accordance with the licence issued. To ensure the welfare and health of the contract labour, the CLRA
imposes certain obligations on the contractor including the establishment of canteens, rest rooms, drinking
water, washing facilities, first aid facilities, other facilities and payment of wages. However, in the event the
contractor fails to provide these amenities, the principal employer is under an obligation to provide these
facilities within a prescribed time period. Penalties, including both fines and imprisonment, may be imposed for
contravention of the provisions of the CLRA.

Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952

143
The Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, as amended (the “EPF Act”) provides
for the institution of compulsory provident fund, family pension fund and deposit linked insurance funds for the
benefit of employees in factories and other establishments. Liability is placed both on the employer and the
employee to make certain contributions to the funds mentioned above.

Environmental Regulations

The Company must also ensure compliance with environmental legislation such as the Water (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act 1974 (the “Water Pollution Act”), the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1981 (“Air Pollution Act”) and the Environment Protection Act, 1986 (the “Environment Act”).

The Water Pollution Act aims to prevent and control water pollution. This legislation provides for the
constitution of a Central Pollution Control Board and State Pollution Control Boards. The functions of the
Central Board include coordination of activities of the State Boards, collecting data relating to water pollution
and the measures for the prevention and control of water pollution and prescription of standards for streams or
wells. The State Pollution Control Boards are responsible for the planning for programmes for prevention and
control of pollution of streams and wells, collecting and disseminating information relating to water pollution
and its prevention and control; inspection of sewage or trade effluents, works and plants for their treatment and
to review the specifications and data relating to plants set up for treatment and purification of water; laying
down or annulling the effluent standards for trade effluents and for the quality of the receiving waters; and
laying down standards for treatment of trade effluents to be discharged. This legislation debars any person from
establishing any industry, operation or process or any treatment and disposal system, which is likely to
discharge trade effluent into a stream, well or sewer without taking prior consent of the State Pollution Control
Board.

The Central and State Pollution Control Boards constituted under the Water Pollution Act are also to perform
functions as per the Air Pollution Act for the prevention and control of air pollution. The Air Pollution Act aims
for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. It is mandated under this Act that no person can,
without the previous consent of the State Board, establish or operate any industrial plant in an air pollution
control area.

The Environment Act has been enacted for the protection and improvement of the environment. The Act
empowers the central government to take measures to protect and improve the environment such as by laying
down standards for emission or discharge of pollutants, providing for restrictions regarding areas where
industries may operate and so on. The central government may make rules for regulating environmental
pollution.

With respect to forest conservation, the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 prevents state governments from
making any order directing that any forest land be used for a non-forest purpose or that any forest land is
assigned through lease or otherwise to any private person or corporation not owned or controlled by the
Government without the approval of the central government. The Ministry of Environment and Forests
mandates that Environment Impact Assessment (“EIA”) must be conducted for projects. In the process, the
Ministry receives proposals for the setting up of projects and assesses their impact on the environment before
granting clearances to the projects.

Intellectual Property Legislation


Our business requires that we offer a broad range of innovative products and services. We expend considerable
time and effort on developing our products and technologies and rely upon various forms of intellectual property
legislation to protect our technology. For details of the intellectual property we seek to protect, refer to “Our
Business” on page 122 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Foreign Ownership

Under the Consolidated FDI Policy and FEMA, FDI up to 100% is permitted in pharmaceutical sector. The RBI

HISTORY AND CERTAIN CORPORATE MATTERS

History of our Company

Our Company was originally incorporated as Oracle Laboratories Limited on July 19, 1994 under the
Companies Act, 1956, as a public limited company. We received the certificate for commencement of business
on July 28, 1994. We subsequently changed the name of our Company to Core Laboratories Limited pursuant to
a special resolution passed by the shareholders at a general meeting dated May 28, 1996 as our Company was
acting as the marketing and distribution agent for Core Healthcare Limited at that time and wanted to align its
name accordingly. Pursuant to the change of name, a fresh certificate of incorporation was granted to our
Company by the Registrar of Companies, Gujarat Dadra & Nagar Haveli on June 18, 1996. We changed the
name of our Company again to Claris Lifesciences Limited pursuant to a special resolution passed by our
shareholders at a general meeting dated March 31, 1999 as our management decided to change the name as
above. The new certificate of incorporation was granted to our Company by the Assistant Registrar of
Companies, Gujarat, Dadra and Nagar Haveli on April 1, 1999, at Ahmedabad.  
 
By an order of the High Court of Gujarat dated May 12, 1999 Nova Lifesciences Limited was amalgamated with
our Company, and all assets, liabilities and business of Nova Lifesciences Limited was transferred to our
Company with effect from the appointed date i.e. October 1, 1997. In consideration for the amalgamation, each
shareholder of Nova Lifesciences Limited was issued one (1) Equity Share of our Company for every 1 equity
share held by such shareholder in Nova Lifesciences Limited.

Our Company traded in products manufactured by, as well as had products contract manufactured by, CHL until
2005. Furthermore, our Company took the Rajpur manufacturing unit on lease from CHL until 2005.

Our Company commissioned its first manufacturing plant, Clarion I, in 2002. We have since expanded our
operations to four manufacturing facilities (Clarion I to IV). A fifth manufacturing facility, Clarion V, is
currently under construction and we expect it to be operational by the third quarter of 2011. The total capital
expenditure, including capital work-in-progress, incurred by our Company, a significant portion of which was
spent on the entire Clarion manufacturing facilities, between July 1, 2001 and May 31, 2010, amounted to
approximately Rs. 8,153.82 million. This expenditure has been primarily incurred in the setting-up of new
plants, expansion of capacities, upgradation of technology and other office and plant infrastructure. The other
office and plant infrastructure includes the co-generation power plant at our manufacturing campus, our R&D
facility, our utility plant, our corporate headquarters and systems and processes.

We have financed this expenditure out of internal cash accruals, equity issuance and from debt financing.

was financed entirely through our internal accruals. In fiscal 2003, we incurred total capital expenditure of Rs.

expenditure of Rs. 446.43 million, which was financed entirely through our internal accruals. In fiscal 2006, we
incurred capital expenditure amounting to Rs. 1,772.96 million, which was financed by way of debt of Rs.
1,107.25 million, equity of Rs. 107.34 million and internal accruals of Rs. 558.37 million. In fiscal 2007, we

million and internal accruals of Rs. 1,144.70 million. In fiscal 2008, we incurred total capital expenditure of Rs.
1,945.29 million, which was financed by way of debt of Rs. 200 million, equity of Rs. 500 million and internal
accruals of Rs. 1,245.29 million. In fiscal 2009, we incurred total capital expenditure of Rs. 1,065.95 million,
which was financed by way of debt amounting to Rs. 762.47 million and internal accruals amounting to Rs.

ANNEXURE 27 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS

1. Basis of preparation of financial statements


The Consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of accounting,
in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, including the accounting standards notified by the Central
Government of India under Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act, 1956.
2. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Claris Lifesciences Limited (‘the Company’), and
its subsidiaries as described in Note No. 1 of Annexure -28 (collectively referred to as ‘the Group’).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of Accounting Standard 21, ‘Consolidated Financial
Statements’, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.
The financial statements of the parent Company and its subsidiaries have been combined on a line- by- line basis by adding
together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating intra-group balances/
transactions and resultant unrealized profits/ losses in full. The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise the amount
of the relevant reserves as per the balance sheet of the parent Company and its share in the post-acquisition increase in the
relevant reserves of the subsidiaries. The excess or deficit of parent’s portion of equity in the subsidiary Company over its
cost of investment, if any, is treated as a capital reserve or recognised as goodwill respectively.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events
in similar circumstances except where it is not practicable to do so. Considering that the financial statements of the foreign
subsidiaries have been prepared under the laws and regulations applicable to their respective country of incorporation, these
consolidated financial statements have been prepared substantially in the same format adopted by the Company to the extent

Chartered Accountants of India.
In case of foreign subsidiaries, revenue items are consolidated at the average rate prevailing during the period. All assets
and liabilities are converted at the rates prevailing at the end of the period. Exchange gains/losses arising on conversion are
recognized under Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.
3. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles requires that the
management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of
contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Difference between the actual results and estimates are
recognized in the period in which the results are known / materialized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with
restated audited consolidated financial statements of our Company included in this Red Herring Prospectus,
including the notes thereto and reports thereon. This financial information has been prepared in accordance
with Indian GAAP, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Companies Act and restated in accordance with the
SEBI ICDR Regulations. The restated financial information has been prepared on a basis that differs in certain
material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions, including US GAAP and
International Financial Reporting Standards. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and reflects
our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Actual results may differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors and contingencies that
could impact our financial condition and results of operations such as those set forth in the section titled “Risk
Factors” beginning on page 18.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the largest Indian sterile injectables pharmaceutical companies with a presence in 76 countries
worldwide. Our products offering comprises 128 products across multiple markets and therapeutic areas. All of
our products are off-patent products, a significant majority of which are capable of being directly injected into
the body and are predominantly used in the treatment of critical illnesses.

Our products range across various therapeutic segments, including anaesthesia, critical care, anti-infectives,
renal care, infusion therapy, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition and oncology. We offer injectables in various
delivery systems, such as glass and plastic bottles, vials, ampoules, pre-filled syringes and non-PVC and PVC
bags. Our customer base primarily includes government and private hospitals, aid agencies and nursing homes.

For the five month period ended May 31, 2010, we recorded total sales of Rs. 3,249.53 million and net profit of
Rs. 577.27 million. For the financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we recorded total sales of
Rs. 7,435.25 million, Rs. 7,521.55 million and Rs. 5,971.52 million, respectively, and net profit of Rs. 1,248.93
million, Rs. 1,078.98 million, and Rs. 893.22 million, respectively.

Since the Company’s inception, we have made efforts to grow our business in international markets. For the five
month period ended May 31, 2010 our revenue from our international businesses amounted to Rs. 1,989.62
million, which accounted for 61.23% of total sales during the period. For the financial years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, our revenue in international business amounted to Rs. 4,068.18 million,
Rs. 3,772.74 million and Rs. 2,174.44 million, respectively, which accounted for 54.71%, 50.16% and 36.41%
of total sales, respectively. We believe we have an established presence and offer a large product portfolio in
emerging markets, such as regions of Latin America, the Middle East, Africa and Central, South East and Far
East Asia. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010, our revenue from emerging markets amounted to Rs.
817.90 million which accounted for 25.17% of our total sales during this period. For the financial years ended
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, our revenue in emerging markets amounted to Rs. 2,658.08 million, Rs.

our total sales, respectively. We also have a presence in certain regulated markets and one of our key growth
strategies going forward is to further expand our distribution network and product offerings in markets such as
the United States, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, as potential sales and
profit margins are higher than those in the emerging markets. In order to achieve growth in the regulated
markets, we have filed 280 applications for product registrations in regulated markets up to September 30, 2010,
including 36 applications in the United States, out of which we have obtained 145 product registrations,
including 25 in the United States.

which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from certain countries. Further, the
USFDA imposed an import alert on us and our products, which is subsisting. Furthermore, the USFDA carried

manufacture products which are sold to Indian and international companies who market such products under
their own brands.

Out of our products offering, one of our key products, propofol, represented approximately 14.84% of our total
sales for the financial year ended December 31, 2009 and for the five month period ended May 31, 2010
represented approximately 12.52% of our total sales in that period. We hold patents for APIs for our hydroxyl
ethyl starch product. Our regulatory team has developed capabilities and processes to file product registrations
in regulated and emerging markets; as of September 30, 2010, we had obtained over 1,100 registrations
worldwide and approximately 324 applications were pending approval.

We adopt three different distribution models for the supply of our products across international markets. In
certain countries, we register, import and store products as well as market them to customers through entities
owned and controlled by us. In certain other countries, we partner with local distributors who import and
distribute our products and, under our supervision, carry out marketing activities. In the rest of the countries
where we operate, distributors and marketing partners are responsible for marketing our products. In March
2009, we entered into a business arrangement with the Pfizer group of companies (“Pfizer”) with a view to
strengthen our presence in regulated markets. We believe Pfizer’s ability to market our products will extend the
reach of our products and enable our business to grow in regulated markets in which Pfizer has a significant

210
presence. In addition to the seven ANDAs in relation to four products granted by the USFDA, we have, pursuant
to an asset purchase and technology license agreement entered into with a pharmaceutical company, acquired 24
ANDAs for 16 products, out of which four ANDAs for two products were granted to us prior to this agreement,
and two ANDAs for two products are yet to be granted by the USFDA. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2010,
we have been granted 25 ANDAs in relation to 16 products by the USFDA in aggregate. For further details in
relation to the asset purchase and technology license agreement please see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments” on page 209 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.

Our domestic business is driven by our own sales and marketing network. As of September 30, 2010, we had a
sales division of approximately 422 people covering various territories across India. We also had a network of
approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40 distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in the
country.

For the financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, we incurred Rs. 1,065.95 million, Rs.
1,945.29 million and Rs. 1,444.70 million, respectively, in capital expenditure to expand our production
capacity and upgrade technology in our manufacturing facilities. For the five month period ended May 31, 2010,
we incurred Rs. 565.44 million in capital expenditure to further expand our production capacity and upgrade
technology in our manufacturing facilities. We expect to incur significant capital expenditures in 2010, 2011 and
2012 to set up new production lines as well as a research and development facility. For further details on our
planned capital expenditures, please see the sections titled “Objects of the Issue” and “History and Certain
Corporate Matters” on pages 88 and 145, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Fitch Ratings India Private Limited granted our Company long-term and short-term debt ratings of ‘A-(ind)’ and
‘F2+(ind)’, respectively, on June 23, 2010.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS


The following are our key strengths which we believe enable us to be competitive in our business:

Complex product portfolio


We believe we have a differentiated business model among Indian pharmaceutical companies due to our focus
on a range of complex injectable products. We have established a portfolio of injectable products across various
therapeutic segments, technologies and delivery systems. We have developed 98 products formulated from our
portfolio of approximately 57 molecules. Our product portfolio comprises complex molecules, such as propofol
and iron sucrose. Further, we believe our portfolio of injectables is one of the largest amongst Indian
pharmaceutical companies. Our products span multiple technology platforms, including aqueous solutions as
well as complex colloidal solutions, liposomal products and emulsions. These products are available across
delivery systems, such as ampoules, vials, bottles ranging from 1 ml to 2000 ml, multi-chamber bags in PVC
and non-PVC material. Hospitals are our key customers for injectables. Sales to hospitals are driven by a
combination of width and depth in product range. By increasing the size of our product portfolio, we have been
able to achieve sales growth in various markets.

Manufacturing competence across multiple drug delivery systems


Our products require an understanding of sophisticated technical processes and quality assurance methods to be
able to maintain sterility. We believe we are one of the few manufacturers in India and in other emerging
markets to have manufacturing facilities for large volume parenterals in glass bottles, emulsions manufacturing
facilities and bag manufacturing facilities which are approved by multiple regulatory authorities in the regulated
markets.

We have purchased technologies from international suppliers, such as double pass reverse osmosis system from
Christ (Switzerland); distillation columns from Stillmas (Italy); manufacturing vessels from Diesel (Germany);
glass vials washing and sterilization tunnels from Groninger (Germany); glass filling lines and form fill seal
automatic bag manufacturing lines from Plumat (Germany); SVP manufacturing lines from Robert Bosch
(Germany); sterilizers from SBM (Austria); leak testing machines from Breviti (Italy); and cleanrooms from
Clestra (France).

Our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001-2000 and WHO GMP certified. In addition, the Company has won
the Indian Drug Manufacturer Association’s Quality Excellence Award in 2007 and 2008 and the Frost &

211
Sullivan India Manufacturing Excellence Award in 2007, 2008 and 2009 in recognition of the quality of its
practices. The Company has also been awarded the Silver Award in the Pharmaceutical Sector by Greentech
Foundation for the Company’s outstanding achievement in safety management in respect of its manufacturing
operations.

Established sales, marketing and distribution network across 76 countries


We have entered into business arrangements with the Pfizer group as well as with other local companies in
regulated markets to grow our distribution network and to strengthen our sales and marketing presence across 76
countries.

As of September 30, 2010, we had a sales team of approximately 422 people who primarily sold our products to
hospitals in India. We employed a total sales force of about 107 people for the international markets.

As of September 30, 2010, we had a network of approximately 43 clearing and forwarding agents, 40
distributors, 16 consignee agents and 1,120 stockists in India, enabling us to reach a significant number of
hospitals, institutions and doctors. We also have existing business relationships with institutional public and
private hospitals in the international markets. Our products are on the list of approved products maintained by
certain hospitals in India and abroad to which we market our products.
Integrated business model
We believe that our capabilities and experience span across all business verticals in the generic injectables
industry. We have a trained workforce across business divisions, such as R&D for product development,
regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, supply chain management, and sales and
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables business will allow us to better control variables in our
business processes.

While we are dependent on various third parties such as distributors, consignee agents, clearing and forwarding
agents, etc., for the marketing and distribution of our products, we believe our integrated business model allows
us to reduce our dependence on third parties. For further details please refer to the section titled ‘Risk Factors -
Our success is dependent on our distribution and marketing arrangements, including the one with Pfizer, for the
sale and distribution of our products and on our relationship with our customers. If any of these arrangements
is terminated for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely
affected’ please refer to page 25 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

R&D capabilities
We believe our expertise in developing complex and difficult to develop products such as propofol, iron
sucrose, hydroxyl ethyl starch and glutamine IV and complex and difficult to develop delivery systems, such as
multichamber bags, provides us with a competitive advantage. For example, we believe we were one of first
companies’ in India to have developed a unibag non-PVC infusion system, which provides us with a
competitive advantage as non-PVC bags are the preferred delivery system in regulated markets. Additionally, as
of September 30, 2010, we had three registered patents and fifteen patent applications pending in India.

Total expenditures for our research and development (“R&D”) activities relating to continuing operations,
including product development costs, were Rs. 633.40 million, Rs. 368.08 million and Rs. 218.53 million for the
financial years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total expenditures for our R&D
activities relating to continuing operations, including product development costs, were Rs. 335.72 million for
the five month period ended May 31, 2010.

We have the R&D capability and experience to develop, manufacture and register products across various
delivery systems to increase the efficiency of drug delivery and make our products better suited to market
requirements. As of September 30, 2010, we employed approximately 75 scientists and specialists in India for
our R&D activities. The size of our R&D team has grown approximately 74% since December 31, 2008 in line
with our regulated markets strategy.

Committed senior management team and a well-qualified workforce


Our management team includes senior executives, a majority of whom have worked with the Company for over
five years. We believe our management team has a long-term vision and provides stability and continuity to our
business. We also believe that the strength of our management team in our business divisions, such as R&D for
product development, regulatory affairs for obtaining product registrations, manufacturing, and sales and

212
marketing, and their understanding of the injectables market will enable our business to grow in a focused and
constructive manner.

As of September 30, 2010, approximately 493 of our employees in India were post-graduates and around 805
held graduate degrees. We believe we benefit from a well-qualified workforce. Selling and marketing
injectables involves developing capabilities to cater to multiple levels within hospitals. We believe we have
developed a close association with hospitals as a result of our sales and marketing network. Our regulatory team
has significant capabilities and experience in filing product registrations in regulated and emerging markets. We
have obtained over 1,100 registrations across 76 countries.

For the risks relating to dependence on our senior management team and a well-qualified workforce, please see
“Risk Factors – We are dependent upon the experience and skill of our management team and key employees.”
On page 31 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Cost advantage
A significant majority of our products are manufactured in India. This, coupled with the process efficiencies
which we have developed in our Clarion facilities, we believe contributes to our production cost advantage over
those of our competitors which manufacture their products in high cost developed markets.

OUR STRATEGY
Our business objective is to grow our revenues and profits through increased market presence. We intend to do
so by increasing our product offerings in key emerging and regulated markets, through strategic business
arrangements as well as by maintaining our focus on our domestic business. Our business strategy focuses on
the following elements:

Increase our product range across existing and new technology platforms and delivery systems
As of September 30, 2010, we had filed 280 applications for product registrations in regulated markets,
including 36 applications in the United States, out of which we had obtained 145 product registrations, including
25 in the United States. We intend to apply for additional approvals from the USFDA and from various other
regulatory authorities for our manufacturing facilities and products to enable us to sell more of our products in
these markets. We are primarily targeting injectable products which have or are due to go off-patent in regulated
markets.

We are expanding our manufacturing facilities and plan to build a new facility for research and development in
order to increase our product development and manufacturing capabilities and our product registrations in
regulated markets. These products will be across existing technology platforms, such as aqueous, emulsion and
colloidal solutions, as well as new technology platforms, such as lyophilized, and delivery systems, including
pre-filled syringes. We have also initiated our foray into the oncology segment.

Grow sales in regulated markets through business arrangements


We have a presence in regulated markets such as the United States, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada and South Africa and plan to establish our business presence in Japan. We plan to further grow our
business in the United States and other regulated markets by expanding our sales and distribution network
through our business arrangement with the Pfizer group. We plan to grow our business in other regulated
markets through license and supply arrangements with companies that have an established presence in the
relevant markets.

Establish and expand our presence in key emerging markets


We also plan to increase our presence in emerging markets, such as Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Saudi
Arabia, as well as to establish our business presence in new emerging markets, such as China, Russia, Turkey,
Egypt and Argentina. We believe that demand for our products in these markets will continue to grow in line
with changes in healthcare standards, insurance penetration and government spending on healthcare. Increased
sales in such countries would allow us to achieve economies of scale. We plan to expand our presence in these
markets by increasing our portfolio of product registrations and filings and by increasing our customer and
distributor base through marketing arrangements with local pharmaceutical companies.

Focus on increasing market share for certain key and high potential products

213
Certain of our key products, such as propofol, iron sucrose and hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole and have large markets worldwide. Based on our internal management estimates, these products
are manufactured in India only by a few companies for the global markets. We plan to focus our sales and
marketing efforts on these product groups to capture larger market shares.

We believe we are currently the only company in India that possesses the technology to produce unibag non-
PVC infusion system. This constitutes a unique competitive advantage domestically and, as non-PVC bags are
the preferred delivery system for certain products in regulated markets, this gives us a competitive advantage
over our Indian competitors. We expect our sales for products such as hydroxyl ethyl starch, ciprofloxacin and
metronidazole to increase significantly once we obtain product registrations for this delivery system in the
regulated markets.

Maintain cost leadership by expanding capacities


We plan to expand our Clarion manufacturing facilities in Ahmedabad, India. These facilities are in a low-cost
location as compared to the facilities set up by our international competitors in North America or Western
Europe. We aim to ensure that we continue to maintain and grow margins and maintain our cost leadership in
the generic injectables business.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS SINCE MAY 31, 2010


Except as mentioned hereinbelow, in the opinion of our Board, there have not arisen any circumstances since the
date of the last audited restated financial statements of our Company as disclosed in the RHP, and which
materially and adversely affect or is likely to affect the trading and profitability of the Company, or the value of
its assets, or its ability to pay its liabilities within the next twelve months.

Product Recall

We and certain of our partners received a number of complaints in relation to certain of our products, namely,
ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and ondansetron that were contaminated or suspected to be contaminated; pursuant
to which we and our partners/distributors recalled some or all of our products from the United States, Denmark,
Finland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The recalls were initiated by us and by certain of our partners in
Australia and the United States pursuant to receipt of complaints of contamination in some of our products,
which could have posed risks if administered to patients, and in certain circumstances, could prove to be fatal.
Further, the USFDA has imposed an import alert on us and our products, which is subsisting.

Furthermore, the USFDA carried out an inspection at our manufacturing facilities at Ahmedabad, in addition to
earlier inspections carried out at the premises of our wholly owned subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc.,
subsequent to which a warning letter dated November 1, 2010 (the “Warning Letter”) was issued to us
mentioning the following:

1. The Company violated the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“CGMP”) regulations for Finished
Pharmaceuticals (Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations), which caused our drug products to be adulterated
within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDC Act”).
2. We failed to submit field alert reports to the USFDA in compliance with the USFDA regulations as
required by the FFDC Act.
3. Based on a review of the labeling/misbranding for the Sodium Bicarbonate Injection drug product
manufactured by us and marketed through our subsidiary, Claris Lifesciences Inc., we had marketed,
introduced or delivered for introduction an unapproved new drug product into inter-state commerce within
the United States, which was in violation of the provisions of the FFDC Act and was subject to an import
detention in the United States.
4. Violations of the post-marketing adverse drug experience reporting; which is required under the Code of
Federal Regulations as well as the FFDC Act.
5. Despite various responses from us and Claris Lifesciences Inc. to the USFDA in relation to the CGMP
violations, the field alert reporting violations, the unapproved new drug violations and adverse drug
experience reporting violations, the USFDA has stated in the Warning Letter that these responses lack
sufficient corrective actions.

A non-compliance of the FFDC Act may result in the FDA issuing warning letters, filing injunctions, seizing
our products and pursuing civil and criminal prosecution for violations of the Act. Under applicable Unites
States law, individuals who violate the Act can be fined $100,000 per count ($250,000 if a death occurs) and

214
corporations can be fined USD 200,000 per count (U.S. $500,000 if a death occurs). Jail time can result if
convicted of the criminal charges, corporations can be excluded from participating in Federal Health Care
Programs and if serious enough violations occur, individuals and firms may be debarred (excluded from
working in the pharmaceutical industry). We cannot assure you that any penalty imposed by the USFDA will
not exceed the amounts quantified in this paragraph.

Additionally, the registration of the Company and its products was suspended by the Drug and Food Control,
Ministry of Health, State of Kuwait from June 8, 2010 till August 22, 2010, as a result of which the Company’s
products were not marketed in Kuwait during that period.

Term Loan

On October 1, 2010, two term loans of Rs. 191.80 million and Rs. 278.60 million were sanctioned to the
Company by Central Bank of India for setting up of a fat emulsion manufacturing line and towards capital
expenditure for research and development, respectively. These loans are not expected to be used in relation to
any of the use of Issue proceeds.

Acquisition of further ANDAs


Pursuant to an asset purchase and technology license agreement entered into with a pharmaceutical company,
we had, subject to the approval of the USFDA, acquired the rights, title and interest in 24 ANDAs, granted by
the USFDA, authorising us to promote, market, distribute and sell 16 pharmaceutical products underlying the
ANDAs in the United States of America which was approved by the USFDA on or about June and July 2010.
Out of these 24 ANDAs, four ANDAs for two products were granted to us prior to this agreement, and two
ANDAs for two products are yet to be granted by the USFDA. Further, we acquired a perpetual and transferable
right and license to use the documentation relating to the development and manufacture of certain generic
pharmaceutical products as well as the product technology related to such generic pharmaceutical products, for
the purpose of manufacturing and commercializing these generic pharmaceutical products for sale within the
United States of America. As of September 30, 2010, we have been granted 25 ANDAs in relation to 16
products by the USFDA.

Certain Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our results of operations are affected by a number of factors, including those delineated below.

Registration of Products and Regulatory Framework


Our Company’s income is significantly dependent on the number of products we can sell in various markets.
Our number of product registrations constitutes an important factor for our results of operations. Our operations
in regulated markets are subject to a high degree of regulation with respect to the marketing and sale of our
products. The grant of product registrations for existing products in new markets and for new products in
existing and new markets, and the withdrawal of existing product registrations affect the Company’s results of
operations. Our Company must ensure that government and other regulatory agencies do not withdraw
marketing approvals for sales of our existing products and continue to approve our products for sale in their
respective markets in a timely manner, and our results of operations depend on our ability to obtain and retain
these approvals.

Product Development
Our ability to manufacture and register products is critical to launch new products in the markets. To grow our
product portfolio we continually invest in research and development. We regularly update existing technology
and acquire or develop new technology for our Clarion manufacturing facilities. We must ensure that our
research and development efforts result in the addition of new products to our existing products offering and
improvements in our technology.

Manufacturing Capacity
Our results of operations depend on our ability to manufacture existing and new products for sale in India and
abroad. The Company has begun implementing an expansion programme for its Clarion manufacturing
facilities. Our ability to increase our production capacity and to grow our presence in regulated markets depend
on us expanding our manufacturing facilities and obtaining and renewing (periodically) government approvals

215
for our facilities in these markets. For details of our capital expansion programme, please see the sections titled
“Objects of the Issue” and “History and Certain Corporate Matters” on pages 88 and 145, respectively, of this
Red Herring Prospectus.

Competition
Our competition includes multinational pharmaceutical companies with wide reach, namely in regulated
markets, with greater financial resources. Our competitors’ ability to develop better process technology or
improve process yields or to source raw materials at competitive prices, and therefore their ability to create new
products or substitutes for our products at competitive prices, may affect our revenues and profitability. For
details of our competition, please see the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Our Business” on pages 18 and 122
of this Red Herring Prospectus.

Business Arrangements in Regulated Markets


We have entered into business arrangements with the Pfizer group as well as with other local companies in
certain regulated markets to grow our distribution network and to strengthen our sales and marketing presence in
such markets. Our income is affected by the success of such business arrangements.

Production Costs
The Company’s ability to maintain its position as a low-cost producer and increase its cost competitiveness is
dependent on efficient management of its production costs. A significant part of our production cost structure is
comprised of raw material costs, primary and secondary packaging costs, and labour costs. Any change in the
price of these materials or in our labour costs due to various factors, some of which may not be within our
control, can affect our results of operations. Our ability to have multiple suppliers and ensure consistent quality
and availability of raw material, primary and secondary packaging materials is also important. Due to our global
operations, our business also depends on efficient supply chain management. We need to curtail our supply
chain costs to the minimum through optimal inventory levels, economic order quantities and other measures.

Expiring Patents
Our income and the results of our operations are affected by the number of pharmaceutical products whose
patents expire. As existing patents for branded versions of products expire, we can file for marketing and sale of
generic low-cost versions of these products with the relevant regulatory authorities. In the event that new
pharmaceutical products the patents for which have expired are produced by our competitors, and such products
are a cheaper and/or more effective (with lesser side effects) substitute to our existing products, our results may
be adversely affected.

Price Erosion
The generics industry is subject to price erosion as the prices for a generic product typically decline as new
competitors introduce their own versions of generic products and any marketing exclusivity enjoyed by a
generics company expires.

Tax Benefits
We are registered under the export oriented unit scheme of the Government of India, which entitles us to an
income tax exemption, under Section 10B of the Income Tax Act on our business profits derived from export of
goods manufactured at our manufacturing facilities in village Chacharwadi Vasana, Taluka Sanand,
Ahmedabad, Gujarat. We are currently eligible for this exemption for periods up to the assessment year 2011 -
12. Furthermore, we are eligible to write off additional amounts from our profit and loss statement based on our
research and development expenditure under section 35(2AB) of the Income Tax Act. Loss of any of these tax
benefits may result in a decrease in our margins.

Currency Exchange Fluctuations


Our products are typically priced in Rupees for Indian sales, in U.S. Dollar for sales in the United States, in
Euros for sales in the European Union, GBP for sales in the United Kingdom and in the local currency of the
other jurisdictions where we sell our products through our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our costs,
including labour, packaging materials and transportation costs, and certain of our raw materials and capital
expenditures are incurred in Rupees. As a consequence, we are exposed to currency rate fluctuations between
the Rupee and the U.S. Dollar, Euro, GBP, and other local currencies in jurisdictions where sales are effected
through our subsidiaries. We are also exposed to currency rate fluctuations on our foreign currency borrowings,

216
which are not fully hedged. A devaluation of any of the currencies mentioned above against the Rupee may
result in a reduction of our margins. Since 2009, we have used the exchange rates found at www.oanda.com,
whereas prior to 2009 we sourced the rates from www.gocurrency.com.

Macroeconomic Factors
Macroeconomic factors, both in the Indian and international contexts, such as economic instability, political
uncertainty, social upheavals or acts of God could influence our performance, which in turn could influence our
results. In addition, fluctuations in interest rates and inflation would have a material effect on key aspects of our
operations, including the costs of our raw materials, the pricing of our products, the cost of borrowing required
to fund our operations and our profit margins.

Geographical Segments

We disclose our operating activities in our financial statements by geographical segments. A geographical
segment is a distinguishable component of the Company’s operations that is engaged in providing products
within a particular environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those components
operating in other economic environments. In our financial statements, we disclose our revenue based on the
location of our customers or distributors, as the case may be. We present assets and long-term investments based
on the location of our assets. For the periods discussed herein, the substantial majority of our production assets
were located in India.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements


The consolidated financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention on the accrual basis of
accounting, in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, including the accounting standards
notified by the Central Government of India under Section 211 (3C) of the Companies Act.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of Accounting Standard 21,
‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding together
the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating intra-group balances /
transactions and resultant unrealized profits / losses in full. The amounts shown in respect of reserves comprise
the amount of the relevant reserves as per the balance sheet of the parent Company and its share in the post-
acquisition increase in the relevant reserves of the subsidiaries. The excess or deficit of parent’s portion of
equity in the subsidiary Company over its cost of investment, if any, is treated as a capital reserve or recognised
as goodwill respectively.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and
other events in similar circumstances except where it is not practicable to do so. Considering that the financial
statements of the foreign subsidiaries have been prepared under the laws and regulations applicable to their
respective country of incorporation, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared substantially in
the same format adopted by the Company to the extent possible, as required by the Accounting Standard AS 21
“Consolidated Financial Statements” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

In case of foreign subsidiaries, revenue items are consolidated at the average rate prevailing during the period.
All assets and liabilities are converted at the rates prevailing at the end of the period. Exchange gains / losses
arising on conversion are recognised under Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles
requires that the management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Difference
between the actual results and estimates are recognized in the period in which the results are known /
materialized.

217
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are capitalized at cost including all direct costs and other expenses incurred in connection with
acquisition of assets and are net of CENVAT. Capital work-in-progress includes advances for capital goods and
expenditure on projects under implementation.

Depreciation
Indian companies
Depreciation on Fixed Assets is provided on the straight-line method at the rates and in the manner prescribed
under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act. Leasehold improvements are amortized over a period of 36 months.
Intangible assets are stated at cost and are amortized equally over a period of five years from the year in which
incurred.

Foreign companies
Depreciation has been provided by the foreign companies on methods and at the rates required or permissible by
the local laws so as to write-off assets over their useful life.

Goodwill
Goodwill arising on consolidation is not amortized but is tested for impairment periodically.

Investments
Long-term investments are stated at cost. Any diminution in the value, other than temporary, is provided for.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost or net realizable value, whichever is less. In case of parent company the cost (net
of CENVAT credit availed) for raw materials and packaging materials is computed on moving average basis.
The cost of work in progress and finished goods is determined on absorption cost basis and comprises of cost of
materials, direct labour and manufacturing overheads.

Revenue Recognition
Sales include sales of products, dossiers and marketing rights. Sales include excise duty and exchange
differences on sales transactions, but are net of sales tax. Sales are recognized at the time when significant risks
and reward of ownership in the goods are transferred.

Revenue in respect of other income is recognised when no significant uncertainty as to its determination or
realization exists.

Employee Benefits
Contributions to provident and other funds accruing during the accounting period are charged to the profit and
loss account. Provision for liabilities in respect of gratuity and leave encashment are accrued and provided at the
end of each accounting period on the basis of actuarial valuation.

Foreign Currency Transactions


Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the
transaction. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the year-end are restated at the year-end rates.
In case of items, which are covered by forward exchange contracts, the difference between the year end rate and
the rate on the date of contract is recognised as exchange difference and the premium paid on forward contracts
is recognised over the life of the contract.

Non-monetary foreign currency items are carried at cost. Any income or expense on account of exchange
difference either on settlement or on translation is recognized in the profit and loss account.

Revenue items of non-integral foreign operations are consolidated at the average rate prevailing during the
period. All assets and liabilities of non-integral foreign operations are converted at the rates prevailing at the end
of the period. Exchange gains/losses arising on conversion are recognised under Foreign Currency Translation
Reserve.

218
Research and Development Expenses
Revenue expenditure on Research and Development is expensed as incurred. Expenses of capital nature are
capitalized and depreciation is provided thereon as per the policy stated above.

Expenditure on Product Registration


Expenditure incurred for registration of products for overseas markets and for product acquisitions are charged
to the profit & loss account.

Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are attributable to acquisition / construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of
cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for
intended use. All other borrowing costs are charged to the profit & loss account.

Leases
Lease rentals in respect of assets taken on operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on accrual
and straight-line basis over the lease term.

Taxes on Income
Indian Companies
Current taxation
Current tax provision is determined on the basis of taxable income computed as per the provisions of the IT Act.

Fringe benefit tax


Fringe Benefit Tax is determined at current applicable rates on expenses falling within the ambit of “Fringe
Benefit” as defined under the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Deferred taxation
Deferred tax is recognized for all timing differences that are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent
periods, subject to consideration of prudence and by applying tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted as on the balance sheet date.

Foreign Companies
Foreign companies recognise tax liabilities and assets in accordance with the applicable local laws.

Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets


Provisions involving substantial degree of estimation in measurement are recognized when there is a present
obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflow of resources. Contingent
liabilities are not recognized but are disclosed in the notes. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor

Our total expenditure decreased by Rs. 238.99 million, or 4.32%, from Rs. 5,538.15 million in fiscal 2008 to Rs.
5,299.16 million in fiscal 2009. This decrease was mainly on account of a 45.43% decrease in purchase of goods
traded in by our Company in fiscal 2009 compared to fiscal 2008.

Increase in stock
Our inventory of finished goods and work-in-progress inventory increased by Rs. 62.42 million in fiscal 2009
compared to an increase of Rs. 345.20 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to an increase in production of
existing products and of products which were previously traded.

Material consumed
Our expenditure on material consumption increased by Rs. 45.80 million, or 2.96%, from Rs. 1,544.70 million
in fiscal 2008 to Rs. 1,590.50 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to our decision to increase the manufacture of
certain higher margin products, such as propofol, metronidazole and ciprofloxacin, for which the raw material
costs are higher.

Purchase of finished goods


Our purchase of finished goods decreased by Rs. 756.39 million, or 45.43%, from Rs. 1,664.81 million in fiscal
2008 to Rs. 908.42 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to the Company increasing the manufacture of certain
products in fiscal 2009, such as IV fluids, which were previously traded in fiscal 2008, our Company’s decision
to discontinue the sale of cephalosporin, and our Company’s decision to preserve liquidity by reducing cash
outflows required as advances towards the procurement of finished goods.

Personnel cost
Our personnel cost decreased by Rs. 106.45 million, or 20.01%, from Rs. 532.05 million in fiscal 2008 to Rs.
425.60 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a decrease in personnel in our subsidiaries. We changed our
distribution model in certain markets in fiscal 2009 by partnering with distributors who began carrying out
certain sales and marketing activities in such markets that were previously undertaken by our subsidiaries in
fiscal 2008.

Operating & other expenses


Our operating and other expenses increased by Rs. 295.27 million, or 13.79%, from Rs. 2,141.79 million in
fiscal 2008 to Rs. 2,437.06 million in fiscal 2009, primarily on account of an increase in power and fuel cost,
labour charges and other manufacturing expenses due to increase in production, and partially due to an increase
in consultancy charges and laboratory expenses for research and development.

Profit before interest, depreciation and taxes


Principally due to the reasons mentioned above, our profit before interest, depreciation and taxes (“EBITDA”)
increased by Rs. 194 million, or 9.23%, from Rs. 2,100.85 million in fiscal 2008 to Rs. 2,294.85 million in fiscal
2009. As a percentage of total sales, EBITDA margins increased from 27.93% in fiscal 2008 to 30.86% in fiscal
2009.

Interest
Our net interest expense increased by Rs. 87.22 million, or 27.06%, from Rs. 322.35 million in fiscal 2008 to
Rs. 409.57 million in fiscal 2009, primarily attributable to an increase in working capital borrowings of Rs. 300
million during fiscal 2008 and Rs. 150 million during fiscal 2009.

226
Depreciation
Our Company’s depreciation expense increased by Rs. 82.10 million, or 22.43%, from Rs. 365.97 million in
fiscal 2008 to Rs. 448.07 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to an increase in our fixed assets in fiscal 2009 in
connection with our capital expansion programme.

Profit before taxation and after exceptional items


Principally due to the reasons mentioned above, our profit before taxation and after exceptional items increased
by Rs. 14.38 million, or 1.01%, from Rs. 1,422.83 million in fiscal 2008 to Rs. 1,437.21 million in fiscal 2009.
As a percentage of total sales, our profit before taxation and after exceptional items margins increased from
18.92% in fiscal 2008 to 19.33% in fiscal 2009.

Our provision for taxes decreased by Rs. 205.47 million, or 60.63%, from Rs. 338.88 million in fiscal 2008 to
Rs. 133.41 million in fiscal 2009, primarily due to reversal of deferred tax liability. Current taxes in fiscal 2009
remained in line with those in fiscal 2008.

Adjustments
Our adjustment in fiscal 2009 reduced our net profit after taxation and before adjustments by Rs. 54.87 million
as compared to our adjustment in fiscal 2008, which reduced our net profit after taxation and before adjustments
by Rs. 4.97 million. The adjustment in fiscal 2009 was primarily on account of excess/short provision of tax of
Rs. 53.07 million, which was adjusted for the earlier fiscal years to which they related, i.e. fiscal 2006, fiscal
2007 and fiscal 2008.

Profit after taxes, as restated


Principally due to the reasons mentioned above, our profit after taxes (PAT) increased by Rs. 169.95 million, or
15.75%, from Rs. 1,078.98 million in fiscal 2008 to Rs. 1,248.93 million in fiscal 2009. As percentage of total

7,639 million in fiscal 2008. Sale of products increased by 46.12% in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. This
increase in income from sale of products was partially offset by a decrease in our sale of traded products and by
a decrease in other income in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.

Income from total sales


Our income from total sales increased by Rs. 1,550.03 million, or 25.96%, from Rs. 5,971.52 million in fiscal
2007 to Rs. 7,521.55 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to an increase in income from total sales of Rs.
1,598.30 million, or 73.50%, in the international markets in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. The exports
revenue, which, as a percentage of total sales, amounted to 36.41% in fiscal 2007, increased to 50.16% in fiscal
2008 mainly as a result of an increase in total sales in the emerging markets.
Total sales in the domestic market declined by Rs. 48.27 million, or 1.27%, from Rs. 3,797.08 million in fiscal
2007 to Rs. 3,748.81 million in fiscal 2008, primarily on account of the Company starting the process of phasing
out cephalosporin injectables from its product portfolio.

Income from net sales


Our income from net sales increased by Rs. 1,589.83 million, or 46.12%, from Rs. 3,447.51 million in fiscal
2007 to Rs. 5,037.34 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to an increase in total sales in emerging markets as a
result of the Company obtaining product registrations for certain of our products, such as propofol, ciprofloxacin
and metronidazole, in these markets in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 and partially due to the Company increasing
the manufacture of certain products in fiscal 2008, which it previously traded in fiscal 2007.

Income from sale of products traded


Our income from sale of products traded decreased by Rs. 39.80 million, or 1.58%, from Rs. 2,524.01 million in
fiscal 2007 to Rs. 2,484.21 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to our Company decreasing the trading of
certain products, such as IV fluids and cephalosporin, in fiscal 2008, which were traded in fiscal 2007.

Other income

227
Our other income decreased by Rs. 149.19 million, or 55.95%, from Rs. 266.64 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs.
117.45 million in fiscal 2008, primarily on account of a foreign exchange gain in fiscal 2007 on translation of
foreign currency borrowings, which did not occur in fiscal 2008.

Expenditure
Our total expenditure increased by Rs. 919.50 million, or 19.91%, from Rs. 4,618.65 million in fiscal 2007 to
Rs. 5,538.15 million in fiscal 2008, primarily on account of an increase in cost of raw materials and packaging
materials in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007, due to an increase in sale of products. The total material cost,
including the cost of products traded in, increased from 36.61% of total sales in fiscal 2007 to 38.08% of total
sales in fiscal 2008.

Increase in stock
Our inventory of finished goods and work-in-progress inventory increased by Rs. 345.20 million in fiscal 2008
compared to an increase of Rs. 133.03 million in fiscal 2007, primarily on account of an increase in products
manufactured as well as the Company shortening the receivables period for certain customers leading to
reduction in sales to such customers.

Material consumed
Our expenditure on material consumption increased by Rs. 647.16 million, or 72.10%, from Rs. 897.54 million
in fiscal 2007 to Rs. 1,544.70 million in fiscal 2008. The increase was on account of an increase in production
due to greater demand for our products in the international markets as well as an increase in prices of raw
materials and packaging materials in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.

Purchase of finished goods


Our purchase of finished goods increased by Rs. 243.08 million, or 17.10%, from Rs. 1,421.73 million in fiscal
2007 to Rs. 1,664.81 million in fiscal 2008, primarily to fulfill demand for certain traded products, such as
immunoglobin and erythropoietin.

Personnel cost
Our personnel cost decreased by Rs. 23.78 million, or 4.28%, from Rs. 555.83 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs.
532.05 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to an increased automation of manual processes and a reduction in
our number of full-time employees.

Operating & other expenses


Our operating and other expenses increased by Rs. 265.21 million, or 14.13%, from Rs. 1,876.58 million in
fiscal 2007 to Rs. 2,141.79 million in fiscal 2008, primarily on account of a foreign exchange loss in fiscal 2008
on translation of foreign currency borrowings due to the depreciation of the Rupee against the USD.

Profit before interest, depreciation and taxes


Principally due to the reasons mentioned above, our EBITDA increased by Rs. 481.34 million, or 29.72%, from
Rs. 1,619.51 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs. 2,100.85 million in fiscal 2008. As a percentage of total sales,
EBITDA margins increased from 27.12% in fiscal 2007 to 27.93% in fiscal 2008.

Interest
Our net interest expense increased by Rs. 167.63 million, or 108.34%, from Rs. 154.72 million in fiscal 2007 to
Rs. 322.35 million in fiscal 2008, primarily attributable to a significant increase in working capital borrowings
from Rs. 876.76 million as at December 31, 2007 to Rs. 1,570.57 million as at December 31, 2008.

Depreciation
Our depreciation expense increased by Rs. 97.92 million, or 36.53%, from Rs. 268.05 million in fiscal 2007 to
Rs. 365.97 million in fiscal 2008. This increase was principally due to an increase in our fixed assets in relation
to our capacity expansion in fiscal 2008.

Profit before taxation and after exceptional items


Our profit before taxation and after exceptional items increased by Rs. 226.09 million, or 18.89%, from Rs.
1,196.74 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs. 1,422.83 million in fiscal 2008, primarily on account of the reasons cited
above. However, as a percentage of total sales, our profit before taxation and after exceptional items margins
decreased marginally from 20.04% in fiscal 2007 to 18.92% in fiscal 2008. This was mainly due to an increase
in net interest expense incurred in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.

228
Provision for taxes
Our provision for taxes decreased by Rs. 25.14 million, or 6.91%, from Rs. 364.02 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs.
338.88 million in fiscal 2008, primarily due to a decrease in current taxes by 32.71% as a result of the increase
in the Company’s exports, the profits from which were eligible for an exemption under the export oriented unit
scheme of the Government of India.

Adjustments
Our adjustment in fiscal 2008 reduced our net profit after taxation and before adjustments by Rs. 4.97 million as
compared to our adjustment in fiscal 2007, which increased our net profit after taxation and before adjustments
by Rs. 60.50 million. The adjustment in fiscal 2008 was primarily on account of Rs. 10.80 million of bad debts
recovered, which were adjusted to the earlier fiscal year to which it related, i.e. fiscal 2007. However, this
decreased due to the above adjustment was partly offset by the effect of excess/short provision of tax of Rs. 4.05
million adjusted in fiscal 2008 from fiscal 2009.

Profit after taxes, as restated


Principally, due to the reasons mentioned above, our profit after taxes increased by Rs. 185.76 million, or
20.80%, from Rs. 893.22 million in fiscal 2007 to Rs. 1,078.98 million in fiscal 2008. As percentage of total
sales, profit after taxes margins decreased from 14.96% in fiscal 2007 to 14.35% in fiscal 2008.

Cases against our Company

Criminal cases against our Company

1. Food Inspector has filed a complaint (C.C. No. 113 of 2005) before the Judicial Magistrate at Kadi, District
Mehsana against our Company and 6 persons, including one of our independent Directors and Mr. Sushil
Kumar Handa, one of our erstwhile promoters, and a relative of our individual Promoter (included in our
Promoter Group) and one distributor of the Company, for an offence alleged to be committed under the
Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. It is alleged in the complaint that Food Inspector Mr. A.B.
Ghelani, Mehsana Circle, had collected a sample of our product “Nutritionally Balanced Diet” under the
brand “Nourish Plus”, bearing batch No.7120132, which was sent to State Food and Drugs Laboratory,
Baroda for test and analysis purpose. Subsequently, Mr. A.K. Patel, the public analyst declared that the
sample of “Nutritionally Balanced Diet” is adultered under section 2 (1A-A) of Prevention of Food
Adulteration Act, 1954, alleging that the chemical composition of the product advertised did not match up
with the actual chemical composition as at dated May 5, 2005. Thereafter, the Food Inspector has sent a
notice under section 13 (2) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 notifying the accused whether
they wish to send the sample to Central Food Laboratory. Our Company filed a reply dated February 14,
2006 requesting the Food Inspector to send the sample to the Central Food Laboratory (“CFL”), Mysore,
stating that the batch in question was manufactured in March 2005 and contending that the allegations
against the above ex-directors of the Company do not hold as except for one of our independent directors,
who was not responsible for the day to day management/ affairs of the Company, the other 5 ex-directors
were not on the Board of our Company at the time of manufacturing of the batch in question. Accordingly
the sample has been tested in CFL and CFL has sent the report confirming that the quantity of nutrient
declared on the label is at variance with the determined values. During the pendency of proceedings before
the Judicial Magistrate at Kadi, District Mehsana, the above mentioned six persons filed a Miscellaneous
Criminal Application dated July 8, 2010 bearing No. 7483 of 2010, before the High Court of Gujarat for
quashing and setting aside the criminal case before the Judicial Magistrate by contending that the report
issued by the public analyst appeared to be in contravention of the rules prescribed under the Prevention of
Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and principally on this ground, amongst others, contended that the complaint
was unwarranted and not legally sustainable. Additionally, the Petitioners have sought interim relief in the
form of a stay against the proceedings before the Judicial Magistrate at Kadi, District Mehsana. By way of
its interim order dated July 19, 2010, the High Court held that the Company has produced abstracts of Form
No. 32 to establish that all Directors of the Company, except one, had resigned from the Company before
the alleged incident of food adulteration was detected. The High Court has, through its above order, granted
a stay against the proceedings before the Judicial Magistrate in favour of the above six Petitioners.

2. The Food Inspector, Office of the Chief Medical and Health Officer, Jaipur issued a letter dated December
15, 2009 to our Company seeking certain information including in relation to a product of Company,
Nourish (nutritionally balance diet) and the appointment of a nominee of our Company. Our Company by
way of its letter dated January 9, 2010, provided the details pertaining to our Company’s business and
clarified that as the product batch in question expired a year ago, the request for the details by the Food
Inspector was not justifiable. In addition, our Company enclosed the name of the responsible person
nominated under Form 8 for compliance with the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act,
1954 (the “PFA Act”). Pursuant to the above and a report of the State Central Public Health Laboratory,

236
Jaipur, Rajasthan, dated February 26, 2008, it was opined that the sample of “Nourish (Nutritionally
balance diet)” is adulterated on account of the presence of heavy insect infestation. The Food Inspector filed
a case bearing no. PFA167/2010, on February 4, 2010 against our Company, before the Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Jaipur City, Jaipur – Rajasthan alleging an offence under section 7(1) (111) 110 of the PFA Act.
Further, the Food Inspector issued a letter dated February 8, 2010 to the aforesaid nominee of our
Company, Mr. Navinchandra and our Company enclosing the aforesaid report stating that if the same was
not acceptable, our Company may approach the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jaipur City, Jaipur with an
application to re-test the sample. As a result, our Company filed an application under Section 13(2) of the
PFA Act, praying that the proceedings under the PFA Act be discontinued, as the report was issued two
years ago and the product had expired in February 2008. The matter is currently pending before the Chief
Judicial Magistrate Court at Jaipur City, Jaipur.

dated November 14, 2008 against our Company to stay the implementation and operation of termination
notice dated August 26, 2008 issued by our Company terminating the contract for supplying the CAPD
bags to Mrs. Zaidy under a scheme launched by our Company. The complaint was initiated against the
termination notice dated August 26, 2008 issued by our Company terminating the contract with Mrs. Zaidy
and in the said notice our Company had made provision for supply of the goods for 3 months from the date
of the notice looking at the nature and importance of the life saving medicine like CAPD. It has been
alleged in the complaint that Mrs. Zaidy who is suffering from kidney related problem and using the
product of our Company since September 1, 2002 under a scheme on payment of Rs. 0.32 million as one
time payment including a non-refundable amount of Rs. 25,000 is not being supplied CAPD bags as per the
terms of the agreement and that our Company has terminated the said agreement by sending the said notice
dated August 26, 2008. The District Consumer Forum has passed an interim order dated November 14,
2008 against our Company to continue the supply of the CAPD bags as per the terms of the agreement and
the District Consumer Forum has further admitted an application on December 18, 2008 from the
complainant to supply additional bags as required by the Complainant. Our Company has filed a revision
application before the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission Maharashtra at Mumbai on
December 23, 2008 which has been disposed off. On July 8, 2009, Mrs. M. H Zaidy, filed an amendment
application before the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum at Sangli, claiming a total compensation of Rs.
785,000 with interest. Our Company filed a reply on July 20, 2009 praying that the petition is unwarranted,

237
illegal and is required to be dismissed. The amendment application was subsequently allowed by the
Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum by its order dated July 31, 2009. The applicant thereafter filed an
application dated November 4, 2009 seeking appointment of a court commissioner wherein Mr. M. H.
Zaidy also suggested the name of Dr. Sanjay Kulkarni. The Company filed its counter to the application
filed by the Complainant and disputed the prayer seeking appointment of a court commissioner. This
counter was also filed by the Company on November 4, 2009. However the said application by Mr. M. H.
Zaidy was allowed by the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum pursuant to its order dated November 4,
2009. Subsequently the Company made an application dated November 7, 2009 stating that the Court
Commissioner has to be a Government laboratory which was rejected by the District Consumer Forum on

Commissioner and was directed to submit the report before the District Consumer Forum. The Court
Commissioner filed his report dated December 3, 2009 before the District Consumer Forum among other
things, stating that the CAPD bags contain fungus, foreign bodies and hair and other substances harmful to
the patient. Further on March 3, 2010 the Company had filed a written say to the court commissioner’s
report specifically denying the contents of the report and further denying the observation and conclusion of
the report. It was further stated in our written say that the report was not carried out in any laboratory and

to be rejected. It was also stated that proper procedure was not followed by the Commissioner for drug
analysis. The matter is currently pending.

Brazil Ltda (respondent) in the Court of the Judge at Law of the 33rd Civil Jurisdiction of the Central
Forum of Sao Paulo alleging unfair competition. Both Fresenius Kabi and Claris Productos Farmaceuticos
Do Brazil Ltda are engaged in the manufacture of “plasma expanders” which are drugs used in surgeries to
increase the volume of blood in circulation. The plaintiff’s product is called “Voluven” and that of the
respondent is called as “Expan”. It was alleged that the product monograph of Expan was misleading and
that certain experiments which were performed with “Voluven” were accredited to “Expan”. It was alleged
that the respondent had issued a misleading advertisement attributing to its products the results of scientific
tests not performed on its products. It was prayed that the respondent be prevented from publicising
promotional material for the product Expan and a fine of BRL 300,000 (approx. Rs. 7,779,780) be imposed
and which prayer was granted by an order dated August 14, 2007 on a preliminary basis. The plaintiff’s
plea for damages was not granted. The respondent has filed its reply dated November 27, 2007 to the said
suit (processo Judicial). It is also stated that the respondent started importing Expan in May, 2006 and
stopped the sale of the product in January, 2007 and further the publicity of the said product was stopped
after its sale was stopped. The court has appointed an accountant to calculate the actual loss claimed by the
plaintiff. The respondent has also appointed an accountant to verify the calculation made by the court
accountant. The court appointed accountant has given his results on March 5, 2010. The accountant’s report
states that Fresenius has not presented any documents to establish that the loss faced by them is on account
of Claris. Hence, it is not possible to define the loss made to Fresenius by Claris considering that there are
other companies also operating in the market. However, through its order issued in June 2010, the Forum
has restrained the Company from marketing, distributing and otherwise remove from the market, the
product ‘Expan’. The Forum has also directed the Company to pay BRL 10,000 (approx. Rs. 259,326) as

SECTION 8 : OTHER REGULATORY AND STATUTORY DISCLOSURES

Authority for the Issue

The Board of Directors has, pursuant to a resolution passed at its meeting held on February 23, 2010, authorised
the Issue subject to the approval of the shareholders of our Company under Section 81(1A) of the Companies
Act, and such other authorities as may be necessary.

The shareholders of the Company have, pursuant to a resolution dated April 7, 2010 under Section 81(1A) of the
Companies Act, authorised the Issue.

The IPO Committee, through its resolutions dated April 19, 2010 and November 18, 2010, approved the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus and this RHP, respectively.

Prohibition by SEBI

We confirm that neither (i) Our Company, its Subsidiaries, our Promoters, persons in control of the Company,
the Promoter Group, our Directors and our Group Companies, nor (ii) companies with which any of the
Promoters, Directors or persons in control of the Company are or were associated as a promoter, director or
person in control are debarred or have been prohibited from accessing the capital markets under any order,
direction passed by SEBI or any other authority.

None of our Directors are associated with the securities market in any manner other than (i) Dr. Pravin P. Shah,
who is on the board of directors of JM Financial Consultants Private Limited, JM Financial & Investment
Consultancy Services Private Limited, JM Financial Services Private Limited and Milestone Capital Advisors
Limited, which are registered with SEBI; and (ii) Mr. Surrinder Lal Kapur, who is a director on the board of
directors of Yes Bank Limited, which is registered with SEBI.

SEBI has not initiated any action against any of our Directors.

The listing of securities of our Company has never been refused at any time by any stock exchange in India.

Prohibition by RBI

None of our Company, our Promoters, our Group Companies or any of the relatives of our Promoters has been
declared as wilful defaulters by the RBI or any other authority except as below:

Core Healthcare Limited (“CHL”), a Company promoted by Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, one of our erstwhile
promoters and a relative of our individual Promoter (included in our Promoter Group), became unable to repay
its debt under certain term and working capital loans granted to it by various lenders, including the Bank of
Baroda (“BoB”). CHL and its directors, including Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa, were included in the list of wilful
defaulters maintained by the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited for loan default of Rs. 25 lacs and above
at the behest of BoB.

ARCIL took over the possession of CHL’s assets in 2005 u/s 13(2) of SARFAESI. Subsequently, Gujarat High
Court, by its order dated March 1, 2007, sanctioned a scheme of demerger of the erstwhile CHL and transferred
the Sachana unit to Nirma Limited. As per High Court order upon receipt of a pre-agreed amount realized by the
sale of all assets of CHL, “any proceedings, civil or criminal, pending against the Demerged Company (CHL)
and/or its Directors and/or its officers or its promoters and/or any other person arising due to or for reason of,
directly or indirectly, non payment of any part of Liabilities by the Demerged Company (CHL), shall, on the
Scheme becoming effective”, stand absolved. The Rajpur unit was subsequently sold by ARCIL in the year 2008.
ARCIL issued a no-dues certificate dated November 21, 2008 pursuant to the scheme and also issued letters
dated May 25, 2007, September 20, 2007 and November 21, 2008 to CIBIL to consider removing CHL and its
promoters and directors from the wilful defaulter list. CHL was wound up by an order of the Gujarat High Court
dated June 24, 2009, however, CHL, as well as its directors, as they then were, including Mr. Sushil Kumar
Handa, remained on the list of wilful defaulters maintained by the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited in
relation to the indebtedness mentioned above. With effect from August 12, 2010, Mr. Sushil Kumar Handa’s
name now stands removed from the list of wilfull defaulters by CIBIL.

Bid Amount by way of an electronic transfer of funds through the RTGS mechanism. Each QIB shall provide their
Bid Amount only to a BRLM. Bid cum Application Forms accompanied by cash/stockinvest/money order shall not
be accepted. The Bid Amount has to be paid at the time of submission of the Bid cum Application Form.

The members of the Syndicate shall deposit the cheque or demand draft with the Escrow Collection Banks, which
will hold the monies for the benefit of the Bidders until the Designated Date. On the Designated Date, the Escrow
Collection Bank(s) shall transfer the funds from the Escrow Accounts, as per the terms of the Escrow Agreement,
the Red Herring Prospectus and the Prospectus into the Public Issue Account. The balance amount after transfer to
the Public Issue Account shall be transferred to the Refund Account on the Designated Date.

Each category of Bidders, i.e., QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders would be
required to pay a uniform Bid Amount at the time of submission of the Bid cum Application Form. The Bid
Amount payable by each category of Bidders is mentioned under the heading “Issue Structure” on page 277 of this

288
Red Herring Prospectus. If the payment is not made favouring the Escrow Accounts as stipulated above, the Bid of
such a Bidder is liable to be rejected.

Where the Bidder has been allocated a lesser number of Equity Shares than he or she had Bid for, the excess
amount paid on Bidding, if any, after adjustment for Allotment, will be refunded to such Bidder within 12 Business
Days from the Bid/Issue Closing Date, failing which our Company shall pay interest according to the provisions of
the Companies Act for any delay beyond the periods as mentioned above.

Electronic Registration of Bids

1. The members of the Syndicate and designated branches of the SCSBs will register the Bids using the on-line
facilities of the stock exchange. There will be at least one on-line connectivity facility in each city where a
stock exchange is located in India and where Bids are being accepted.

2. The NSE and the BSE will offer a screen-based facility for registering Bids for the Issue. This facility will be
available on the terminals of the members of the Syndicate and their authorised agents during the
Bidding/Issue Period. The members of the Syndicate can also set up facilities for off-line electronic
registration of Bids subject to the condition that they will subsequently upload the off-line data file into the on-
line facilities for book building on a regular basis. On the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the members of the
Syndicate and SCSBs shall upload the Bids until such time as may be permitted by the stock exchanges.

3. The aggregate demand and price for Bids registered on electronic facilities of the NSE and the BSE will be
uploaded on a regular basis, consolidated and displayed on-line at all bidding centres as well as on the NSE’s
website at www.nseindia.com and on the BSE’s website at www.bseindia.com. A graphical representation of
consolidated demand and price will be made available at the bidding centres during the Bidding/Issue Period.

4. At the time of registering each Bid, the members of the Syndicate shall enter the following details of the
investor in the on-line system:

• Name of the Bidder(s). Bidders should ensure that the name given in the Bid cum Application Form is
exactly the same as the name in which the depositary account is held. In case the Bid cum Application
Form is submitted in joint names, Bidders should ensure that the depository account is also held in the
same joint names and the names are in the same sequence in which they appear in the Bid cum
Application Form;

• Investor category—Individual, Corporate, QIBs, Eligible NRI, FVCI, FII or Mutual Fund, etc.;

• Numbers of Equity Shares Bid for;

• Bid price;

• Bid cum Application Form number;

• PAN;

• Cheque / DD number;

• Bid Amount that has been paid upon submission of bid cum application form; and

• Depository Participant identification number and client identification number of the demat account of
the Bidder.

5. A system-generated TRS will be given to the Bidder as proof of the registration of each of the bidding options.
It is the Bidder’s responsibility to obtain the TRS from the members of the Syndicate or SCSBs as applicable.
The registration of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate or SCSB does not guarantee that the Equity Shares
shall be allocated either by the members of the Syndicate, SCSBs or our Company.

6. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind.

7. In the case of QIB Bidders, members of the Syndicate also have the right to accept the Bid or reject the Bid.

289
However, such rejection should be made at the time of receiving the Bid and only after assigning a reason for
such rejection in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, Bids would not
be rejected except on the technical grounds listed in this Red Herring Prospectus.

8. The permission given by the NSE and the BSE to use their network and software of the online IPO system
should not in any way be deemed or construed to mean that the compliance with various statutory and other
requirements by our Company or the BRLMs are cleared or approved by the NSE and the BSE; nor does it in
any manner warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or completeness of compliance with the statutory and
other requirements nor does it take any responsibility for the financial or other soundness of our Company, the
Promoters, the management or any scheme or project of our Company.

9. It is also to be distinctly understood that the approval given by the BSE should not in any way be deemed or
construed that the Red Herring Prospectus has been cleared or approved by the BSE; nor does it in any manner
warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or completeness of any of the contents of the Red Herring
Prospectus; nor does it warrant that the Equity Shares will be listed or will continue to be listed on the BSE.

10. Details of Bids in the Anchor Investor Portion will not be registered on the online facilities of the BSE and
the NSE.

Build-up of the Book and Revision of Bids

1. Bids registered by various Bidders through the members of the Syndicate or SCSBs shall be electronically
transmitted to the NSE or BSE mainframe on a regular basis.

2. The book gets built up at various price levels. This information will be available from the BRLMs on a
regular basis.

3. During the Bidding/Issue Period, any Bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity Shares at a
particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the printed Revision Form,
which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form.

4. Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid Amount by using the
Revision Form. The Bidder must complete the details of all the options in the Bid cum Application Form or
earlier Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in the Bid cum Application Form
and he is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form, he must still complete all the details of the
other two options that are not being changed in the Revision Form. Incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms
will not be accepted by the members of the Syndicate.

5. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding/Issue Period. However, for any
revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same member of the Syndicate through
whom the original Bid was placed.

6. Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be made only on
such Revision Form or copies thereof.

7. Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft for the
incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. The excess amount, if
any, resulting from downward revision of the Bid would be returned to the Bidder at the time of refund in
accordance with the terms of this Red Herring Prospectus. In the case of QIB Bidders, the BRLMs shall
collect the payment in the form of cheque or demand draft or electronic transfer of funds through RTGS for
the incremental portion of the Bid Amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid at
the time of one or more revisions by the QIB Bidders.

8. When a Bidder revises a Bid, the Bidder shall surrender the earlier TRS and get a revised TRS from the
members of the Syndicate. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to request and obtain the revised TRS, which
will act as proof of revision of the original Bid.

9. Only Bids that are uploaded on the online IPO system of the NSE and the BSE shall be considered for
allocation/Allotment. In the event of a discrepancy of data between the Bids registered on the online IPO
system and the physical Bid cum Application Form, the decision of the BRLMs and the Designated Stock

290
Exchange, based on the physical records of Bid cum Application Forms shall be final and binding on
all concerned.

Revision of Bids in case of Revision of Price Band

1. The Bidder can Bid at any price within the Price Band in multiples of Re. 1 (Rupee One). The Bidder has
to Bid for the desired number of Equity Shares at a specific price.

Retail Individual Bidders applying for a maximum Bid in any of the bidding options not exceeding up
to Rs. 200,000 may Bid at the Cut-Off Price. However, bidding at the Cut-Off Price is prohibited for
QIB Bidders or Non-Institutional Bidders and such Bids from QIB Bidders and Non-Institutional
Bidders shall be rejected.

2. Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at the Cut-Off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity Shares at
any price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders bidding at the Cut-Off Price shall deposit the
Bid Amount based on the Cap Price in the Escrow Accounts. In the event that the Bid Amount is higher
than the subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut-Off Price, such
Bidder shall receive the refund of the excess amounts from the Escrow Accounts in the manner described
under the section titled “Issue Procedure - Payment of Refund” on page 282 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.

3. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders, who had
Bid at the Cut-Off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make additional payment based on the
higher cap of the revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., the original Bid Amount plus
additional payment does not exceed Rs. 200,000 if the Bidder wants to continue to Bid at the Cut-Off
Price), with the members of the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was submitted. In case the total
amount (i.e., original Bid Amount plus additional payment) exceeds Rs. 200,000, the Bid will be
considered for allocation under the Non-Institutional Portion in terms of the Red Herring Prospectus. In
case of Retail Individual Bidders who do not revise the Bid or make additional payment, where the Issue
Price is higher than the cap of the Price Band before revision, the number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be
adjusted downwards for the purpose of Allotment, such that no additional payment would be required from
such Bidder and the Bidder is deemed to have approved such revised Bid at the Cut-Off Price.

4. In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders who have
Bid at the Cut-Off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess amount paid at the time of bidding
would be refunded from the Escrow Accounts. In case of downward revision in the Price Band, the
number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted upwards to the higher Bid lot for the purpose of
Allotment.

5. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum application
size and the Bid lot shall remain [●] Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Amount payable on
such minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000.

Price Discovery and Allocation

1. After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the BRLMs shall analyze the demand generated at various price levels and
discuss the pricing strategy with our Company.

2. Our Company in consultation with the BRLMs shall finalize the Issue Price.

3. Allocation to Anchor Investors shall be at the discretion of the Company with the BRLM, subject to
compliance with ICDR Regulations.

4. The Allotment to QIBs will be at least 60% of the Issue, on a proportionate basis and the availability for
allocation to Non-Institutional and Retail Individual Bidders will be not less than 10% and 30% of the Issue,
respectively, on a proportionate basis, in a manner specified in the SEBI ICDR Regulations and this Red
Herring Prospectus, in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, subject to valid Bids being received
at or above the Issue Price. If at least 60% of the Issue cannot be Allotted to QIBs then the entire application
money will be refunded.

291
5. In case of over-subscription in all categories, at least 60% of the Issue shall be available for allocation on a
proportionate basis to QIBs, out of which 5% shall be reserved for Mutual Funds. Mutual Funds participating
in the 5% share in the QIB Portion will also be eligible for allocation in the remaining QIB Portion. However,
if the aggregate demand by Mutual Funds is less than 5% of the QIB Portion, the balance Equity Shares from
the portion specifically available for allocation to Mutual Funds in the QIB Portion will be added to the QIB
Portion and be allocated proportionately to the QIBs in proportion to their Bids.

6. Under-subscription, if any, in the Retail and Non-Institutional categories, would be allowed to be met with
spill-over from any other category or combination of categories at the sole discretion of our Company, in
consultation with the BRLMs. However, if the aggregate demand by Mutual Funds is less than [●] Equity
Shares, the balance Equity Shares available for allocation in the Mutual Fund Portion will be added to the QIB
Portion and be Allotted proportionately to the QIB Bidders.

7. Allotment to Eligible NRIs, FIIs, Sub-Accounts, or Mutual Funds or FVCIs will be subject to applicable laws,
rules, regulations, guidelines and approvals.

8. Our Company in consultation with the BRLMs, reserve the right not to proceed with the Issue at any time after
the Bid/Issue Opening Date but before the Allotment, without assigning any reason thereof.

9. In terms of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs shall not be allowed to withdraw their Bid after the Bid/Issue
Closing Date.

10. The BRLMs, in consultation with the Company, shall notify the members of the Syndicate of the Issue Price
and allocations to their respective Bidders, where the full Bid Amount has not been collected from the
Bidders.

11. Our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserves the right to reject any Bid procured from QIB
Bidders, by any or all members of the Syndicate. Rejection of Bids made by QIBs, if any, will be made at the
time of submission of Bids provided that the reasons for rejecting the same shall be provided to such Bidder
in writing.

Procedure and Time of Schedule for Allotment and demat Credit of Equity Shares

The Issue will be conducted through a “100% Book Building Process” pursuant to which the members of the
Syndicate will accept Bids for the Equity Shares during the Bidding/Issue Period. The Bidding/Issue Period will
commence on November 24, 2010 and expire on November 26, 2010. Following the expiration of the
Bidding/Issue Period, our Company in consultation with the BRLMs, will determine the Issue Price. Our
Company in consultation with the BRLMs will determine the basis of allocation and entitlement to Allotment
based on the Bids received and subject to confirmation by the Designated Stock Exchange. Successful bidders will
be provided with a confirmation of their allocation (subject to a revised confirmation of allocation) and will be

305
required to pay any unpaid amount for the Equity Shares within a prescribed time. The SEBI ICDR Regulations
require our Company to complete the Allotment and refund of excess application monies to successful bidders
within 12 Business Days of the expiration of the Bidding/Issue Period. The Equity Shares will then be credited and
Allotted to the investors’ demat accounts maintained with the relevant Depository Participant. Upon approval by
the Stock Exchange, the Equity Shares will be listed and trading will commence.

Method of proportionate Basis of Allotment

In the event the Issue is oversubscribed, the Allotment shall be as per the basis of allocation approved by the
Designated Stock Exchange. The executive director or managing director of the Designated Stock Exchange along
with the BRLMs and the Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for ensuring that the basis of Allotment is
finalized in a fair and proper manner. Allotment to Bidders shall be made in marketable lots on a proportionate
basis as explained below:

(a) Bidders will be categorised according to the number of Equity Shares applied for by them.

(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category (number of Bidders
in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for) multiplied by the inverse of the
oversubscription ratio.

(c) The number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate
basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that category multiplied by the
inverse of the oversubscription ratio.
(d) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [●] but is not a multiple of one (which
is the market lot), the decimal will be rounded off to the higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or higher.
If that number is lower than 0.5, it will be rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all Bidders in
such categories shall be arrived at after such rounding off.

(e) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than [●] Equity Shares per Bidder, the Allotment shall be
made as follows:

• Each successful Bidder shall be Allotted a minimum of [●] Equity Shares; and

• The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a portion shall be determined by the drawing of lots in
a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares Allotted in that category is equal to the number of
Equity Shares calculated in accordance with (c) above.

(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity Shares
Allotted to the Bidders in that portion, the remaining Equity Shares available for Allotment shall be first
adjusted against any other category, where the Equity Shares are not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to
the successful Bidders in that category. The balance of Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment
will be added to the category comprising Bidders applying for the minimum number of Equity Shares.

1. The illustration presumes compliance with the requirements specified in this Red Herring Prospectus in
the section titled “Issue Structure” beginning on page 277 of this Red Herring Prospectus.

2. Out of 114 million Equity Shares allocated to QIBs, 6 million (i.e., 5%) will be Allotted on a
proportionate basis among 5 Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 million Equity Shares in the
QIB Portion.

3. The balance 108 million Equity Shares i.e., 114 - 6 (available for Mutual Funds only) will be Allotted on
a proportionate basis among 10 QIB Bidders who applied for 500 million Equity Shares (including
5 Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 million Equity Shares).

4. The figures in the fourth column entitled “Allocation of balance 114 million Equity Shares to QIBs
proportionately” in the above illustration are arrived at as explained below:

For QIBs other than Mutual Funds (A1 to A5) = Number of Equity Shares Bid for × 114/494

For Mutual Funds (MF1 to MF5) = (No. of shares bid for (i.e., in column II of the table above) less Equity
Shares Allotted (i.e., column III of the table above) × 114/494

The numerator and denominator for arriving at the allocation of 114 million Equity Shares to the 10 QIBs
are reduced by 6 million shares, which have already been Allotted to Mutual Funds in the manner
specified in column III of the table above.

Promoter and Promoter Group and the obligations of the Promoter and Promoter Groups and the Company to
undertake certain activities, as set forth in this Article “Non Compete and Non Solicit Obligations” are an

Promoter and Promoter Group to comply with these covenants, the Investor and the Co-Investors would not
have entered into the Shareholders Agreement. The Company and the Promoter and Promoter Group
acknowledge that this Article “Non Compete and Non Solicit Obligations” constitutes an independent covenant
in consideration for which (sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company and the Promoter and
Promoter Group) the Investor and the Co-Investors have agreed to invest in the Company. Therefore, the
covenants in this Article “Non Compete and Non Solicit Obligations” shall not be affected by performance or
non-performance of any other provision of the Shareholders Agreement by the Investor and the Co-Investors.
The Company and the Promoter and Promoter Group deem the investment by the Investor and the Co-Investors
under the terms of the Shareholders Agreement to be adequate consideration for the right to engage in a
competitive business that they are foregoing under the Shareholders Agreement; and the Promoter and Promoter
Group admit and acknowledge that they have various other technologies and skill sets which, if deployed by
them after they cease to be employees of the Company, would not result in their competing against the
Company. The Promoter and Promoter Group agree that they have independently consulted their counsel in
relation to the covenants in this Article and in the opinion of their counsel and in their personal opinion, the
covenants set forth in Article are no more extensive than is reasonable to protect the Investor as subscriber to the
securities of the Company in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement and to protect the business of the
Company.
Provided, however, once the Investor ceases to hold shares representing at least 1% shareholding in the
Company, the provisions of Article 185 and 186 shall stand terminated.

Grading Rationale
• The grading factors in Claris Lifesciences Ltd’s (Claris) focus on the high-margin
injectable pharmaceutical business, which has translated into a strong growth in
business and profitability. During 2005-2009, revenues grew at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3%, whilst EBITDA and EBITDA margins
improved to INR2.3bn and 31% from INR390m and 14%, respectively. The net
profit has also increased to INR1.3bn from INR168m during this period. In 2009,
Claris shifted its focus away from lower margin products and changed its
emerging markets business model. However, the growth in sales to regulated
markets during the year offset the consequent decline in sales to the emerging
and domestic markets, resulting in largely flat revenues.
• Fitch Ratings expects Claris’ future business growth from sales to regulated
markets through its business arrangement with Pfizer
Inc. (‘AA-’/Stable/‘F1+’) and from its own sales efforts. The licensing income
which accrued to Claris as a result of this arrangement helped support the
company’s liquidity in 2009. Future revenue growth will be driven by new
product approvals and sales, as well as entry into new markets.
• The grading also considers the benefits that accrue to Claris in the form of
limited price competition in the injectable industry due to high barriers to entry
— a result of the capital-intensive nature of the business, stringent regulations
and a expertise in managing formulation and production activities. Although
margins could moderate due to competition going forward, the long gestation
period of new capacities in this segment would delay this impact.
• The agency notes that any less than expected sales from its business agreement
could impact revenue growth. Delays or difficulty in obtaining regulatory
approval for new products could moderate revenue growth. The company is
increasingly focused on regulated markets to drive future growth. The agency
also notes its relatively short track record in these regulated markets.

Company Background
Incorporated in 1999 as a pharmaceutical trading company, Claris is today a sterile
injectable manufacturing company, with five manufacturing facilities all located in
Ahmedabad to produce complex aqueous and emulsion-based products in glass/PE
containers and bags.
Fitch notes that certain facilities have been approved by foreign regulatory
authorities — including the USFDA, MHRA (UK), TGA (Australia), NAM (Finland), GCC
FDCA (Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia, UAE and other countries
in the Middle East) and INVIMA (Colombia). One of its facilities, Clarion V, is
currently (August 2010) under construction, and is expected it to be operational by
the third quarter of 2011.

Management and Promoters


Mr Arjun Handa and Sarjan Financial Pvt. Ltd are the current promoters of the
company. Mr. Arjun Handa, who is currently the Managing Director/CEO, holds a
majority stake directly and indirectly in Claris through Sarjan Financial.
In 2006, Claris raised INR905m from the Carlyle Group’s private equity growth fund
with the investments made in the form of compulsorily convertible preference
shares; this has been subsequently converted into equity during 2009.

Business Overview
Claris has evolved from a trading company to a fully- fledged manufacturing
company. The change in sales mix — from 90% trading sales in 2002 to 17% trading
sales in 2009 — reflects the shift. Claris is engaged mainly in the business of
developing, manufacturing and marketing injectables which are off-patent and
primarily in the segments of critical care, hospital care, renal care and nutrition.
As of 31 March 2010, Claris has obtained over 1,000 registrations worldwide, and
approximately 410 applications are pending approval. The company offers 113
products across multiple markets and therapeutic areas (anaesthesia, critical care,
anti-infectives, renal care, infusion therapy, enteral nutrition, parenteral nutrition
and oncology). In terms of delivery systems, the injectibles are offered in various
delivery systems, such as glass and plastic bottles, vials, ampules, pre-filled
syringes and non-PVC and PVC bags.

Sales and Marketing


On inception, Claris focused largely on domestic and emerging markets, as its initial
strategy was to expand into regions which are similar to Indian markets that have
lower regulatory hurdles. However, after the US FDA, MHRA (UK) & TGA (Australia)
approved certain of Claris’ sterile injectable manufacturing facilities, the regulated
markets have gained increasing importance in line with the company’s strategy.

• In the rest of the countries in which it operates, distributors and marketing

entered into a business arrangement with the Pfizer group of companies with a
view to strengthen its presence in regulated markets.
• The domestic business is driven by its own sales and marketing network.
Financial Overview
Growth & Profitability
During 2005-09, revenue grew to INR7.4bn from INR2.9bn. Growth was driven by the
company’s domestic and emerging market business. However, during 2007-09,
Claris gained an increasing presence in its regulated market business — which
Fitch expects to accelerate further on account of the company’s own efforts, as
well as its recent partnership with Pfizer. In line with top-line growth, Claris’
operating profitability has grown on the back of the increase in margins.

Liquidity and Debt


During 2005-08, despite positive cash from operations, free cash flow (FCF) was
negative on account of higher capex and debt levels. However, due to
improvements in working capital, EBITDA and license income received, FCF turned
positive in 2009. Claris’ total credit profile consequently improved in 2009,
reflected in the decline in debt/EBITDA from 1.9x to 1.3x.
Claris’ credit metrics have remained comfortable, with debt/EBITDA of between
1.3x-2.0x during 2005-2009. Fitch expects the company’s metrics to continue to
to remain comfortable despite its plans to incur capex. The agency also sees
liquidity as remaining comfortable — and to further strengthen with the successful
completion of its INR3,000m IPO. The proceeds would be utilised primarily for
funding Claris’s capex plans including expansion and R&D, and debt repayments.
