Business Operations overview and Outlook

Significant volume growth and increased market share in the European and US Markets for Statins helped to negate the impact of pricing pressures and the weakening US Dollar thereby maintaining Statin sales at previous year's levels.

Sales of Insulin increased significantly in both the domestic and export markets. During the year, the Company entered into licensing agreements covering certain markets in Asia and has also progressed its application for registration in the European Union and several countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa. To meet the overall increased projections for Insulin, the Company has commenced an expansion of its capacities and the new facility is near completion and is expected to be commissioned later this year.

Immunosuppressants are also expected to offer significant growth opportunities consequent to product patent expiry in key markets of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Tacrolimus in the period 2008-2012.

Biocon's foray into direct marketing of formulations continued to make impressive strides. During the year the Nephrology Division launched ERYPROTM and ERYPROSAFETM, for treatment in renal transplant and dialysis and two Immunosuppresants - RENODAPTTM and TACROGRAFTM. Biocon's Insugen has been widely prescribed and accepted with impressive gains in market share and BIOMAB EGFRTM has been prescribed to over a 1,000 patients since its launch in August 2006.

Biocon signed two important agreements with Abraxis Biosciences, USA to out- license G-CSF for the North American and European markets and in-license Abraxane. for India and a few markets across Asia and the GCC. These agreements are expected to generate a steady stream of revenues once the products get regulatory approval in the relevant territories.

Biocon also entered into an agreement to acquire a majority stake in AxiCorp GmbH, Germany. This strategic investment will enable Biocon to market and distribute biosimilar insulin and analogs in Europe which together with NeoBiocon, its joint venture in Dubai, thereby expanding Biocon's global reach. Biocon continues to invest incrementally to progress its innovation pipeline. While during the year Biocon monetized some of it's research programs by way of licensing and partnering , it's rich product pipeline including IN-105, BVX 10, BVX 20 and T1 H are expected to contribute significantly to Biocon's growth in the future years. During the year Biocon has completed Phase I studies of IN-105 in India and received approval for commencement of Phase II studies. Biocon has also initiated Phase I studies for IN 105 in Sweden and Phase II studies for T1 H in India.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS(All amounts in Indian Rupees thousands, except share data, share price and amounts expressed in foreign currency)

1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

The global pharmaceutical sales grew 6 percent at constant exchange rates in 2007, to reach a record USD 712 billion. North America, Europe and Japan continued to account for about 80 percent of the total global pharmaceutical market, with North America experiencing slower growth at 4 percent. Emerging markets in Asia and Latin America continued to outpace global performance with double-digit growth. In terms of regional performance, North America, which accounts for 43 percent of global pharmaceutical sales, grew 4 percent, to USD 305 billion, while Europe buoyed by the appreciating Euro experienced higher growth of 7 percent, to USD 206 billion. Sales in Latin America grew 12 percent to USD 32 billion, while Asia Pacific (outside of Japan) and Africa grew 13 percent to USD 62 billion with China, Korea and India growing by 26 percent, 11 percent, and 13 percent respectively. Sales in Japan reversed the decline experienced in the previous year on account of the biennial price cuts which occurred April , 2006 and grew 4 percent to USD 59 billion.

Oncologics grew 16 percent to USD 41 billion and displaced Lipid Regulators as the top selling therapy class for 2007. Patent expiry of Zocor. and declining sales of Lipitor. partially contributed to Lipid Regulators sales declining by 7percent to USD 34 billion. Respiratory Agents with sales of USD 29 billion grew 12 percent and retained its position as the third largest class of therapeutic drugs. Antidiabetics at the 5th position also experienced double digit growth with sales of USD 24 billion.

The biopharmaceutical market represented 10 percent of the global pharmaceutical market, having grown 17 percent in 2007 and the double-digit growth of the market is expected to continue to the end of the decade.

Generic Pharmaceutical Industry

The generic drugs market refers to regulated markets for drugs whose patents have expired or been invalidated. The expiration or invalidation of product patents typically leads to the entry of generic, or non-branded, formulations in the regulated markets, resulting in increased competition and leading to a decline in price and margin of drugs.

Drugs with approximately $20 billion in annual sales will face patent expiry in 2008, similar to levels seen over the past two years. This is expected to drive growth of generics by 14-15 percent next year, to more than $70 billion. In 2008, more than two-thirds of all prescriptions written in the U.S. are expected to be for generics. New government contracting initiatives in Germany, and educational programs in Japan, Spain and Italy, will drive greater generics use in those markets. Also, generics competition within the biotech sector will rise as the biosimilar epoeitin alfa is marketed across Europe. This trend reflects a changing balance between new and old products and a growing 'genericization' of many primary care categories. Low cost producers such as India and China are expected to play a key role in the development of the generics industry.

2. OUTLOOK

The global pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at a 5-6 percent in 2008, compared with 6 percent in 2007. In the U.S. and the five largest European markets, sales growth in 2008 is expected to range from 4-5 percent and 1-2 percent in Japan. Key factors limiting growth in these markets include: a leveling off of growth from the introduction of the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit in the U.S., patent expiration of branded product, and an associated increase in the use of lower-cost generics; increased pressure from payers to control costs and limit access to certain treatments; and heightened safety scrutiny and healthcare legislation that is slowing, and in some cases halting, the introduction of new medicines. The seven 'pharmerging' markets of China, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, India, Turkey and Russia are expected to grow 12-13 percent next year, to $85-90 billion. In these markets, there is significantly greater access both to generic and innovative new medicines as primary care improves and becomes more available in rural areas, and as private health insurance becomes more commonly held. Ongoing economic growth in the developing world will continue to shift the focus away from infectious diseases and toward cardiovascular, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.

3. OPPORTUNITIES

The surge in generics together with the expected patent expiry of key immunosuppressant drugs provides Biocon with attractive opportunities in the near to medium term. In addition the opening up of bio-similar in US and Europe is seen as a large opportunity in the medium term. Success in Biocon's Research and Development initiatives into new drug discovery could also yield significant benefits.

4. RISKS & CONCERN The Generic Industry is subject to patent litigation and regulatory issues. Patent challenges or delay in receipt of regulatory approvals could delay our product launch in key markets. In addition significant additional competition in key products could erode our market shares and result in reduced prices and profitability. The consolidation of the generic industry could result in larger generic players acquiring manufacturing capabilities thereby reducing the market for third party manufacturers. The failure to obtain regulatory approval for new drugs under development could affect long term business opportunities. Other key risks related to our business include loss of key personnel, increase in input costs and strengthening/depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar.

The Company carries out a detailed Risk Management exercise or purposes of identification of risks and putting in place processes and controls to mitigate these risks. The audit committee reviews the Company's risk management framework and approves risk management action plans.

5. INTERNAL CONTROLS

Biocon has well established internal control systems for operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Finance Department is well staffed with experienced and qualified personnel who play an important role in implementing and monitoring the internal control environment and compliance with statutory requirements.

The Internal Audit is conducted by an independent firm of Chartered Accountants.

The Audit committee addresses significant issues raised by the Internal & Statutory Auditors.

6. HUMAN RESOURCES:

Biocon recognizes that nurturing and recruiting the best talent is vital to the long-term success of the enterprise. Employees are provided with continuous opportunities for active learning and development which are viewed as key drivers of their personal growth and the success of Biocon. The remuneration structure links rewards directly with performance. This performance management system reinforces our work ethics. Employees also participate in the Employee Stock Option Plan and about 10 percent of the Company is owned by Employees and a Trust formed for the benefit of Employees.

The total employee strength of the Company and its subsidiaries at end of the financial year post transfer 2007-08 was 2,772 as against 2,543 at the end of the previous financial year.

7. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT:
