Chief Executive Officer's statement
Background

company, specialising in the development and manufacture of
high-quality, cost-effective treatments for some of the world's
most serious diseases. Since February 2007, the Company has been
part of the Reliance Life Sciences Group of companies. Reliance
GeneMedix is working towards the development, manufacture and

Business overview
I am pleased to present the results for the financial year 2010
- 2011, during which the Company applied to the European Medicines
Agency ('EMA') for market authorisation for its lead product
Erythropoietin ('EPO') in the EU. The Company withdrew its
application based on initial feedback and additional data
requirement indicated by EMA. The Company has sought scientific
advice from EMA to validate its revised EPO development programme,
which it expects to receive later in 2011. Based on the scientific
advice from EMA, the Company intends to complete the development
programme and reapply for market authorisation in the EU. The
Company expects to be in a position to re-apply to EMA in the
financial year 2012-2013.
The Company concurrently is working on aspects of its
manufacturing and clinical development programme. The Company
continues to market EPO in India through Reliance Life Sciences and
is continuing its efforts to obtain approval for launching EPO in
other markets.
Financial review
In this time of difficult external financial and economic
conditions, the Company has been able to sustain its product
development programmes based on the financial support received from
Reliance Life Sciences which has confirmed its continuing financial
support of the Company's development programme. The Company has
also been successful in containing operational costs.
Operating losses of EUR 2.137 million (2010: EUR 2.225 million)
for the year are in line with the budget and indicates planned
expenditure. The Company is exercising strict financial discipline
and cost control in order to run its operations and development
programmes efficiently.
The Company has capitalised development expenditure of EUR 2.615
million (2010: EUR 4.376 million) incurred on the EPO development
programme, post the receipt of clinical trial approval. The board
has concluded that capitalisation of EPO development costs remains
appropriate and in accordance with the criteria of IAS 38 despite
the need to revise the content of the EPO development programme as
referred to above. Current assets and current liabilities are in
line with the level of operations of the Company.
The expenditure during the year was financed through a loan from
Reliance Life Sciences and this will also cover 2011-2012 funding
requirements.
Employee commitment
I would like to thank the staff of the Company for their
dedication and commitment to the development and manufacturing
programmes and look forward to their ongoing commitment for the
coming year. The Board is committed to talent and skill development
through internal and external training initiatives and also to
reward employees for excellent performance.
Corporate governance
The Board has established an Audit Committee, Remuneration
Committee and Nominations Committee with formally delegated duties
and responsibilities.
The Audit Committee consists of all the independent
Non-Executive Directors and is chaired by Mr. Dileep Choksi. The
Audit Committee normally meets twice a year and has responsibility
for, among other things, planning and reviewing the annual report
and accounts and interim statements and involving, where
appropriate, the auditors. The Committee also approves auditors'
fees, reviews auditor independence and focuses on compliance with
legal requirements and accounting standards. It is also responsible
for ensuring that an effective system of internal controls is
maintained. The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving
the annual accounts and interim statement remains with the
Board.
The Remuneration Committee is made up of all the independent
Non-Executive Directors and is chaired by Dr R. A. Mashelkar. The
Remuneration Committee, which meets as required, but at least once
a year, has responsibility for making recommendations to the Board
on the compensation of senior executives and determining, within
agreed terms of reference, the specific remuneration packages for
each of the Executive Directors.
The Nominations Committee comprises the Chairman and all of the
independent Non-Executive Directors and is chaired by Dr R. A.
Mashelkar. The Nominations Committee has responsibility for
reviewing the size and composition of the Board and the appointment
of replacement and or additional directors and making appropriate
recommendations to the Board.
