 SUBSIDIARIES
 
 Your company has two wholly owned subsidiaries viz., M/s.  Divis
 Laboratories (USA) Inc., in USA and M/s. Divis Laboratories Europe AG

 reach to customers within these regions. While loss for current year at
 Divis Laboratories (USA) is Rs.0.63 crores, the loss at Divis
 Laboratories Europe is Rs.5.66 crores.
 
 Auditors of these subsidiaries have observed that they have negative
 networth and suffer from deficiency of cash for continuing operations
 as a going-concern without the support of the parent. The losses in the
 subsidiaries are on account of low level of operations at the
 subsidiaries. With the expected increase in the level of operations,
 the subsidiaries would be getting into cash profits shortly.
 
 During the year, we have enhanced the equity capital in Divis
 Laboratories (USA) Inc., by converting Rs.2.23 crores from out of the
 loans given to the subsidiary into equity capital. We would also be
 increasing the equity capital of Divis Laboratories Europe AG during
 the next fiscal.
