Chairmanʼs Review
I am pleased to provide this message on the recently
concluded year of operation at E-Channelling PLC. The period
2008/09 has been a time for further consolidation in an
extremely difficult business environment where interest rates
and inflation were at record levels.
The company continued its monopoly of the market in the
area of channelling with a majority of the hospitals using
our channelling solution as its primary booking system. This
is indeed significant and bookings via this system increased
by 33% during the year to a record 317,000 bookings and
revenues by a healthy 23% but the company still incurred a
loss of Rs 11.1 million which was similar to the previous period.
This is primarily due to labour and other associated costs
relating to the development of the HospitalNet Solution
(which was previously capitalized until such time the license
revenue started accruing to the company) now being charged
to expenses. Cash and cash equivalents have stabilized
at Rs 41 million with the organization now operationally
sustainable on a month on month basis and not dipping into
this reserve since mid way through the financial year.
The HospitalNet solution which automates the operations of
a hospital has been fully deployed and continues to power
Nawaloka Hospital which is one of the largest in South Asia
handling large volumes of transactions. The company is still
looking to secure its second client for this solution which has
been a challenge in an environment where hospitals have
differed most large scale investment decisions. The company
signed up four new hospitals for the channelling solution and
an additional telecom provider to the 225 network.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the
shareholders for keeping faith in the company, Board of
Directors for their continued guidance and support, the CEO
and the team at E-Channelling for their tireless efforts. Our
special thanks and appreciation is due to our valued customers
for choosing E-Channelling as their preferred healthcare
platform and for placing their trust in the company. You have
all contributed in no small measure in ensuring value to the
shareholders and building a company that is well geared to
dominate this industry in the future.

CEOʼs Review
Yet another year of exceptional revenue growth of 23%.
We have signed up more hospitals and more “225” Partners
during the year and many more in the pipeline. Our revenue
per booking has also increased by 22% whilst maintaining
a “fair value” to our customers. However, there is more room
for growth here. We worked relentlessly hard in reducing
the cost of collection, distribution and support to ensure that
the overheads do not rise at the same rate as revenue, which
is a challenge in the current market.
Whilst focusing on growing the revenue we spent a fair
portion of our efforts on questioning and changing how
we did business. Through this we streamlined a number of
poor performing operations and automated them. All of this
achieved high level efficiency and visibility to the business
and saw an end to us tapping into the reserve to manage the
day to day operations.
Significant revenue growth achieved by focusing on profitable channels and streamlining and automating the rest.
Great ROI was achieved on the sales promotional activities
that were carried out during the year where we witnessed
direct increase in network bookings and awareness. We
are also leveraging on the strong relationships we have built
now with our hospitals and telecom partners; pushing the
message forward to the channelling public.
Even with the growth in revenue the Company incurred a
Rs. 11.1 million loss, which was predominantly due to the
rising cost in labour and infrastructure. However, we have
achieved the level of up-time and reliability which has never
been demonstrated in this sector before. The system is truly
available around the clock, especially for the web customer.
The web based booking, i.e. people channelling online has
seen the highest growth of all with a 36% increase.
The HospitalNet is now fully deployed at Nawaloka and
is managing their end to end processes. The challenge has
been to secure more customers for this Enterprise Solution
under the present economic climate. We have successfully
modularised this product and are targetting smaller
hospitals, pharmacies and laboratories. The pipeline for this
is looking strong with this new approach, but the challenge
will be to achieve the level of revenues required to achieve
the break even for this SBU.
My sincere appreciation goes out to the Chairman and the
Board of Directors for their strategic input and direction
given throughout the year. I would like to thank my team; for
their valuable and dedicated contribution especially through
the downsizing that we went through during the year.
Last but not least, I thank all of you, our stakeholders, for your
support, confidence and trust that you have placed in us.
The future is bright.

to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results form the basis of making the judgment about carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the
revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Other leases are operating leases and the leased assets are not recognized on the Company’s Balance Sheet.

A segment is a distinguishable component of the company that is engaged in either providing product or services (business
segment), or in providing product or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is
subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
Management believes that it is not practical to provide segment costs and expenses and consequently segment profits and
losses, since a realistic allocation cannot be made. The fixed assets used in the Company’s business are not identifiable
to any particular reportable segment and can be used interchangeably among segments. Consequently Management
believes that it is not practical to provide segmental disclosures relating to total assets since a realistic analysis among
the various operating segments is not possible.
