A) THE PHARMACEUTICAL BUSINESS:

Colinz Laboratories Ltd. is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical formulations particularly in gynaecological sector. The Indian pharmaceutical market is highly competitive and also still fragmented with over 20,000 players comprising of foreign multinationals, Indian multinationals, mid-size and small scale companies.   Your Company falls under the SME sector.  However, Colinz has established reputation as a quality supplier of medicines in the domestic market, wherever the company has operation.  

B) OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND CONCERNS:

The Company’s products are enjoying a good Brand image, particularly among gynaecologists. The Company has a potential to grow in future considering the fact that it is yet to open up its marketing operations in many states of the country, However, due to paucity of working capital, the company is unable to expand its marketing activities, to unrepresented areas.

The Company is a Revised Schedule ‘M’ complied unit, as per the requirement of D & C Act.

Your company, no doubt is focusing on those off patented products, and these products will have extended shelf life in the market, due to lesser discoveries of new molecules, considering the investment to be made and time and expenditure involved in developing such new molecules. However, the takeover of bigger Indian Pharma Companies by foreign MNC’s , is a serious cause of concern to the national sector of pharma industry, particularly to SME’s. The new DPCO is also on the anvil. The company will have to wait and watch the announcement and the price granted as per new DPCO, which will have an impact on the company's top line and bottom line.

C) OUT LOOK:

Barring unforeseen deterrents and the issues outlined above, the Company does not foresee any major threats in its survival and moderate growth.
