Chief Executive Officer's statement
Background
Reliance GeneMedix is a globally-focused biopharmaceutical
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. The Company
is working towards the development, manufacture and marketing of a
portfolio of biosimilar recombinant therapeutic proteins for global
markets.
Business overview
I am pleased to present the results for the financial year 2011
- 2012, during which the Company received scientific advice from
the European Medicines Agency ('EMA') re validatation of its
revised Erythropoietin ('EPO') development programme. Based on this
scientific advice from EMA, the Company has realigned its EPO
development programme and initiated work on the revised programme.
The Company continues to market EPO in India through Reliance Life
Sciences. The Company is also in the process of registering EPO in
other markets through the international marketing group of Reliance
Life Sciences.
As in the past few years, the Company has been able to sustain
its product development programmes based on the financial support
received from Reliance Life Sciences which has also confirmed its
continuing financial support of the Company's development
programme.
Proposed cancellation of admission of ordinary shares to trading
on AIM
The Company announced on 5 September 2012 the proposed
cancellation of admission of its ordinary shares to trading on AIM
and the proposed re-registration of the Company as a private
limited company and the associated adoption of new articles of
association. A circular has been sent to the Company's shareholders
and the Board recommends that they vote in favour of the proposals.
The Company has been informed by Reliance Life Sciences B.V., which
holds 79.6 per cent. of the ordinary shares, that it intends to
vote in favour of the resolutions and, consequently, it is expected
that the resolutions will be passed.
It is anticipated that trading of the ordinary shares on AIM
will cease at the close of business on 5 October 2012 and the
effective date of the de-listing will be 8 October 2012.
Financial review
Operating losses of EUR2.112 million (2011: EUR2.137 million)
for the period are in line with budget and reflect planned
expenditure. The Company continues to exercise strict financial
discipline and cost control in order to run its operations and
development programmes in a cost-effective manner.
The Company has capitalised development expenditure of EUR1.391
million (2011: EUR2.615 million) incurred on the EPO development
programme. The Board has concluded that the capitalisation of EPO
development costs remains appropriate and in accordance with the
criteria of IAS 38 as set out in Note 2.6(c) to the financial
statements despite the need to revise 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. The loan from Reliance Life Sciences will
also cover planned 2012 - 2013 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.
