Speech to Welcome the Spring Festival of 2010
28th January 2010

Presented by Ms. LI Kei Ling, the Chairman of
Dawnrays Pharmaceutical (Holdings) Limited
 

Fellow colleagues,

Good evening, everyone!

I am very pleased to be able to attend the dinner tonight.

For all of you present here tonight is mainly the senior management and the key personnel of various teams of the Group. Remember at the recent annual Work Plan Meeting some time ago, I mentioned that this is the fifteenth year for the Group to establish its presence in Suzhou. No matter you have already fought many battles shoulder to shoulder with us early from fifteen years ago, or you have joined our team from the Group’s second five-year, or the third five-year, I believe, as the management team of the Group, you should have a concrete understanding on the previous development track and expansion model of the Group; and should have devoted in-depth participation and contribution in formulating, implementing and management for the forth five-year development plan of the Group.

Looking back to the development over the past decade, it can say that, the growth of Dawnrays Pharma has been accompanied by the development of China’s GMP system for pharmaceutical production. In the early stages of its foundation, it so happened that the new GMP policy was fully implemented. Through the hard work of the former management team and the efforts from the members of the Board of Directors, Suzhou Dawnrays Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. became one of the first batch of manufacturers granted the pharmaceutical GMP certification in China. Hereafter, the Government continued to strengthen the standard and requirements of the system, meanwhile, the enterprise itself also has its intrinsic demand for development, the Group’s production plants, the reconstruction of facilities and the construction projects for expansion have never been stopped. No matter the size and cost of these construction projects, the focus of the aims for every project has been very clear; which centers around to construct a pharmaceutical enterprise with long-term competitive capability.

Notwithstanding the limitation of resources for the Group in the past, however, we have never compromised the quality of our products for the sake of short-term benefits. After more than a decade's challenges from the market, no matter for the middle and upper streams of bulk medicines, or the lower stream of preparation products, Dawnrays Pharma has established a reliable hallmark on its quality. Meanwhile, I hope the management for every concerned department of the Group should more strictly to monitor the quality aspects of their respective products and never let go even for the slightest bit of problem, and devote very efforts to maintain a solid foundation necessary for this enterprise to stay evergreen.

The various measures for the national medical reform have gradually been implemented one by one. Notwithstanding the situation for policy adjustment may appear in the future, however, generally speaking, the overall market capacity will continue to expand, while there will be even more abundant room potentially for product development and longer life for products in the market. Through years’ of arduous efforts, a number of our products have already been in the forefront leading the market position. Although expansion of the market capacity will derive a longer sales cycle for these products, however, competition among the counterparts within the industry will inevitably narrow down the profit margins of products to reach the cost baseline, leading to the decline in the Group’s profitability as a consequence. Therefore, I believe the senior management and heads of concerned departments who present here that, in order to maintain the momentum for the sustainable development of the enterprise, you have to exercise caution, to think and to search even diligently for risks that may be hidden, to explore the technological innovative know-how suitable for the Group’s development and to seek direction for new product development. I and the members from the Board of Directors also believe that, you will all make use of your unparalleled stamina to break every bottleneck for attaining brilliant achievements towards the distant and tough journey for R & D innovation.

In recent years, the re-construction and expansion projects of the Group have coming on line one after another. Apart from responding to the various new requirements from the Government on the production quality and environmental protection aspects towards the pharmaceutical enterprises, certainly, this is also for the sake of reinforcing the integrated capability of the Group towards the competition among its counterparts in the industry. With the upgrade in the enterprise’s capability, the product quality will be more assured, so that the personnel from every sales team of the Group will have stronger confidence in promoting the Group’s products under the new market landscape of the medical reform. I hope the management from every sales department can give full play to capitalize on every advantage of the Group, to have a stringent planning and organization on all the sales, to monitor the market’s behavior and variation, to expand the market share and continue the development, and to further establish a leading position for our products.

All along, the founders of the Group adhere to the philosophy of stable development for our business, which insists through internal accumulation to establish a solid foundation for an evergreen pharmaceutical enterprise with long-term sustainable conditions for development. Through the arduous efforts from all my colleagues of Dawnrays Pharma for over the past decade, we are pleased with the achievements we attained today, however, there is still a very long journey from our target. I and all members from the Board of Directors will, as always, during the Group’s fourth five-year plan, get well-prepared with concerted efforts with all of you to welcome the birth of the brand-new COS workshops and strive to scale new heights at the new phase of development.

In the Year of the Ox, the overall sales of the Group reached a record high and the stock price for the holding company also made further breakthroughs. On behalf of all directors from the Board of Directors, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for every one of you present here as well as all your subordinates for your efforts all along have been made towards the job and contribution to the Group.

Last but not least, may I convey my best wishes to you all for a healthy, energetic and prosperous Chinese New Year of the Tiger and a happy family!

Thank you!
