DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your Directors are pleased to present the twenty sixth Annual Report together with the audited annual Financial Statement of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2015.

Operations

The year under review recorded a growth in sales of 48% with contribution to sales from various streams of opportunities vis-a-vis last year with additional business contribution from institutions, third party supplies & export.

However, the year continued to be challenging due to legacy issues that inhibit your Company from delivering commercially viable products. Most vital technical information and essential lab records have not been accessible since 2011 (post possession) of the actual control over the affairs of your Company. Nearly all the DNA clones relating to the biotech products and projects on which your Company was working upon have been unavailable. Therefore, this led to the suspension of activities in biotech unit during the year. This step was taken to control the costs against the uncertain outcome which was affecting the financial health of the company. In addition, legacy issues also led to the provisions made for certain costs/ commitments which have not been met and in the absence of related documents since the takeover of the operations by the current management.

Since team Zenotech is committed to strengthen the business performance, create and rebuild product pipeline and deliver superior results within the constraints and hence has realigned on the core business of chemo oncological range. Operations in chemo-oncologicals were continued and supplies were made in domestic and export markets. Your Company participated in select tenders and it is encouraging that orders from institutional supplies, though of small volumes, are being received.

In the meantime, your Company is constantly striving to streamline, cut costs and turning cost competitive which would help improve the operational efficiency.

During the year under review, GMP approval was received from WHO for the range of products manufactured in the Company's facility and certificate of pharmaceutical products to participate in international tenders.

Outlook

With continued legacy issues and the weakening financial health of the company, the rebuilding exercise of a pharmaceutical organization has to be calibrated carefully which is inherently a time consuming process, with probable underutilization of manufacturing capacity. In addition to the continuous improvements in the current supplies, efforts are hence, being made to continue to seek business by offering in-house facilities to reputed companies to outsource their requirements by manufacturing at Zenotech's production units. In addition, the collaborative opportunities are also being explored to evaluate feasibility of engaging biotech facility to use its capacity for commercially viable outcome. Overall, your Company is positive that revenue streams would improve in the future.

Research & Development

In the absence of technical documents and records, your Company attempted to explore the possibility to manufacture mammalian range of biotech products by undertaking small scale batches both at R&D scale and at operational levels, which demonstrated the expressions of the mammalian products was exceptionally low indicating that the available cell lines were weak. Given the high costs associated in the manufacturing of biotech products and also that due to the absence of technical documents and records, the activities currently stand suspended at the R&D.

Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

Your Company has in place adequate systems of internal control commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations. They have been designed to provide reasonable assurance with regard to recording and providing reliable financial and operational information, complying with applicable statutes, safeguarding assets from unauthorized use or losses, executing transactions with proper authorization and ensuring compliance of internal policies. The Company has a well defined delegation of power with authority limits for approving revenue as well as capital expenditure.

The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. During the year, such controls were tested and no reportable material weakness in the design or operation was observed.

Human resources & Industrial Relations

The Company believes that Human Resource is its most valuable resource which has to be nurtured well and equipped to meet the challenges in the Industry your Company operates. The staff are highly motivated with good work culture, training, remuneration packages and the values. The total number of people employed in the company as on 31.03.2015 is 23. Your Directors would like to record their appreciation of the efficient and loyal service rendered by the employees.

With regard to Observations/remarks contained in the Secretarial Auditors' Report, your Directors' wish to state as under:

Observation no.1 (a): As you are aware that there are ongoing litigations between the erstwhile promoters and the present promoters of the Company. It was only pursuant to the Order of the Company Law Board, Chennai,(CLB) that the present management of the Company could gain access and took over the possession of the factory premises in the month of November 2011. However, the present management could never get access to the Registered Office of the Company which was then situated at Plot no. 8-2-120/88-89, Park View Estate, 4th Floor, Road no. 2., Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, and whereat, among others, all statutory documents and records of the Company were maintained. Until the takeover of the factory, Dr. Jayaram Chigurupati was in complete control and was responsible for the overall affairs of the Company as the Managing Director of the Company. Therefore, the Company has initiated appropriate actions against him including filing a criminal complaint vide FIR no. 357 of 2012 and the matter is currently under investigation. Further, CLB on August 8, 2012 passed an order directing him to return all the properties and other assets of the Company to which he has so far remained non compliant.

Observation no. 1 (b): Currently, the Company has a functional website and all the requisite disclosures and reports are uploaded which can be viewed at www.zenotechlab.com .

Observation no. 1 (c) : In an effort to recover the missing related records, appropriate actions have already been initiated against the previous Managing Director who was in control over the affairs of the Company during the period of offence including filing of criminal complaint under the provisions of Section 630 of the erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 before the Economic Offence Court, Nampally, Hyderabad, and the matter is sub-judice.

Observation no. 1 (d): The reasons for the non compliance have been reported in the Annual Reports for the earlier years which have been reiterated in the Auditor's observation. There is nothing more to respond.

Consolidated financial statements

As reported in annual reports for the financial years ended March 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, it is restated that the overseas subsidiaries of the Company do not exist anymore. Due to the missing and non-availability of the books of account and other related records and documents of those overseas subsidiaries, the Company is unable to prepare consolidated accounts and attach the required statements and particulars in terms of the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and the listing agreement with BSE Ltd.

Overseas subsidiaries were apparently created, investments and loans were made during the period from 2006-07 to 2010-11 under the erstwhile management. Therefore, it was the responsibility of that management to handover those details to the present management during the transition. However, no details on those subsidiaries were made available to your Company. Despite several attempts by the current management to recover them, details concerning those subsidiaries including the documents and certificates related to the foreign exchange transactions which included loans and investments made to those foreign subsidiaries, could not be obtained.

The erstwhile management deliberately ignored and has so far remained non-compliant to the directions of your Company. Your Company therefore has filed a complaint before the Hon'ble Economic Offences Court, Nampally, Hyderabad, under the provisions of Section 630 of erstwhile Companies Act, 1956 against the former Managing Director, who was in complete control over the Company affairs during the period of these events. The matter is currently sub-judice.
