IN TRANSFORMATION MODE...
Accentia has gone a long way from being a single
location, single service firm to a multi location,
diversified Knowledge Process Outsourcing
Company, operating from multiple locations in
India, USA, UK and the Middle East. Not resting
at being one of the fastest growing Healthcare
Receivables Cycle Management Companies, we
have now ventured into offering Software As A
Service model in the healthcare outsourcing
area, since the US administration has made
sweeping changes in the healthcare sector,
especially in the documentation area.
In 1998-1999 when the units in Trivandrum and
Bangalore were started, Medical Transcription
was a little known industry. In the decade that
followed, Accentia ventured into Coding, Billing
and Collections in HRCM, but since the change
over from traditional medical transcription to EMR
(Electronic Medical Records) is happening, we
are now looking to capitalise on the huge
opportunities that is now open for Healthcare
BPO companies by adapting to the changed
scenario.
Today Accentia is a Truly Global Company with
thousands of talented professionals and
operations in Trivandrum, Kochi, Bangalore,
Hyderabad and Bhubaneswar in India; Fort
Lauderdale, Portland, Oregon, Chicago and New
Jersey in the US, London in the UK and Raz Al
Khaima in the Middle East.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholders,
I am happy to present before you a brief note on the accomplishments of your Company on yet another successful year.
For the year ended 31.03.2011, Accentia recorded revenues of Rs 33,124 lakhs over Rs 26,572 lakhs recorded last year, a growth of24.66%. Net profit increased from Rs 72.53 lakhs last year to Rs 75.35 lakhs this fiscal. EPS is Rs 51.50 against Rs 53.79 last year.
I would like to briefly dwell upon the activities of your Company during the last financial year.
Our company is presently going through a transformation phase for good. In the largest market place that Accentia serves, the United Statesof America, there has been a significant shift in the healthcare industry due to the introduction of the new Healthcare policy by the Obamaadministration. The US Senate passed a historic Healthcare Bill in 2010 that is set to eliminate gross inefficiencies in the system whichwas leading to wastage of billions of dollars. The new bill is totally changing the way documentation and healthcare receivables cyclemanagement has been conducted over the past 3 to 4 decades. A major mandatory requirement as per the new Obama Healthcare Bill is theusage of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) suite to capture and record patients’ demographical, clinical and all other related data intoa database, which can be accessed anytime for future reference and analysis. Obama administration has set apart more than US$ 80 billionto offer as monetary incentives of up to US$ 44,000 per physician, payable to all physicians who adopt EMR software which is certifiedby the ONC-ATCB (Office of the National Coordinator – Authorised Testing and Certification Body).
Even though the management realised that these drastic changes in Accentia’s core area of operation would affect the normaloperations and would have an impact on the revenues and profitability of the Company in the short run, we were quick to understandthat there is a huge opportunity that was waiting to be exploited, if we can change our functioning to adapt to the new requirementsin the healthcare industry in the US. Accordingly we decided to go all out on a war footing basis to develop our own EMR softwarerather than depend on third party offerings; get the software certified at the earliest and market the same all over the US. Further, werealised that the adoption of EMR based clinical practice is opening up avenues for an integrated end-to-end SaaS model (Software asa Service) of service delivery; hence, we quickly ventured into that too. Accentia’s seamlessly integrated SaaS delivery model willfunction as a one-stop shop for a clinical provider that will manage all their healthcare documentation needs, receivables managementneeds, performance tracking and reporting.
On the 28th of July 2011, our first EMR offering for physicians got certified by ONC – ATCB in the US. We have also recentlyintroduced our SaaS offering to clients which was well received by the industry, and our software teams in different locations areworking on adding additional disciplines in the EMR software which will soon be introduced in the US market. In the back enddelivery centres, the employees are going through retraining in the use of EMR software and SaaS offerings. We are also working onincreasing the productivity per employee, leading to significant increase in the profitability of the Company.
Due to these developments in the last financial year, Accentia has invested large amount of funds in the development of EMR softwareand SaaS model, marketing of the same in the US and retraining of the workforce across all its delivery centres. Due to the need toconserve funds to meet the requirements of the new business model, the Directors felt it is desirable not to recommend dividend onequity shares for the financial year.
During the financial year, none of the Directors have resigned from the Board of the Company. I am happy to inform you that Mr KezerKharawala, an eminent lawyer, has join the Director Board as an Additional Independent Director. I am sure with his vast experiencehe will be able to add significant value to the Board and the Company.
I should mention here that the employees of the Company in the different units in India and abroad have been very supportive andunderstanding during this transition phase. Without their dedication and hard work, the Company could not have adapted to the newrequirements in this short time, and I take this opportunity to thank all the employees of the Company.
I also take this opportunity to thank all the shareholders for their continued faith in the Company and the understanding they have shownduring the past year of transformation. I am sure that with your support and faith in the management, we can scale new heights together.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THE EVOLUTION - 1998 to 2006Humble beginnings...
The promoters of Accentia had initially ventured into ITESbusiness through Geosoft Technologies (Trivandrum) Ltd.Geosoft was started by a trio of enthusiastic entrepreneursled by Pradeep Viswambharan and supported by Sooraj andRajeev and was located at Technopark, Trivandrum, knownas the greenest and the oldest techno polis in India. TheCompany was set up to offer documentation services tothe Healthcare industry, basically medical transcription.Accentia right from the beginning had always believed inthe value-added service in every client engagement andthus the model designed by the team was based on a strongfoundation towards client commitment and quality.
After a rigorous selection process and interviews, Geosoftstarted with thirteen employees, who all had priorexperience working in the same field. Geosoft hired youngpeople with high calibre to fill all major areas required torun the business – namely Transcriptionist, Editor, Proofers,Quality Manager and Trainer. They also started a trainingdepartment to impart training for entire batches of freshgraduates, since there was no availability of trainedmanpower for the required skills at the time. The initial dayswere tough as the costs were high and it was not easy for astart-up Company from the hitherto unknown city ofTrivandrum in Kerala to bag orders from any major client.Accentia was initially executing work for smaller clinics andphysician groups, when it formed an association with USbased major MT Company. This association helped Accentiaput in place a lot of the delivery and training processes tohelp stabilize the back-end. Accentia invested significantlyin improving its back end delivery capabilities between 2000and 2005.
Geosoft was now firmly grounded to the roots with its visionto become the leader in the healthcare segment; workingwith firm ethics towards customer delight and commitmentwithout compromising on the focus of growth. The BPOdivision of Geosoft Technologies with its excellent customerservices positioned itself as one of the leading companiesin its segment in South India. With some of the best intellectsfrom the industry in its ranks, Geosoft Technologies soonstarted catering to the requirements of the othercompanies in the similar industry by starting a consultancydivision.
Going up the value chain
With the vast experience gained, Geosoft decided to venture
into providing consultancies to share the knowledge theaspirants starting Healthcare Documentation units in Indiaand set up its consultancy division to provide end-to-endconsultancy services to start ups. Most of these units spreadacross India which received hand holding from Geosoft, arerunning successfully now.
With the increasing requirement to match with the ongoingtechnological changes, Geosoft started a Product Divisionunder the name of Iridium. With a focused approach, theproduct team was able to come up with end-to-end globalwork flow automation systems that help in the day-to-daywork flow. Products like Iridium Medical TranscriptionAutomation Software (iMTAS), Iridium Certified Home BasedMedical Transcription (iCHMT), Iridium Certified MedicalTranscription (iCMT), Falcon-2000, F1 HBPO automationSoftware, iridium Real Time School (iRTS), iridium AccountsManagement System (iAMS), iridium Inventory ManagementSystem (iIMS), iridium Payroll Management System (iPMS),iridium Business Transcription System (iBT), iridium HospitalManagement System (iHMS) are few of the products thatgot wide acceptance among its customers.
High performance combined with six sigma standards atevery step in the SDLC process was an added advantage forour clients who have placed their confidence in theCompany. Our solutions focus on leveraging the latesttechnologies in innovative ways, which boost the bottomline of the customer and ensure that the products andservices redefine the way the industry functions.
Very soon Geosoft Technologies became one of the pioneersin Healthcare BPO and the Product Division segment in India,with a capacity of 675 seats and infrastructure of 8,000 sq ftat Technopark, Trivandrum.
THE GIANT LEAP - 2006 to 2010As part of the expansion plan, in the year 2006, the giantleap that the promoter Pradeep took was to take over aMumbai listed Company named HiTech EntertainmentLimited through an open offer. The same year, as a part ofconsolidation and Inorganic growth, HiTech EntertainmentLimited took over Geosoft and Iridium. Further the nameHiTech Entertainment was changed to Accentia TechnologiesLtd. to better represent the business activities of theCompany.
Reorganisation of Business
Having stabilised the business in the healthcaredocumentation (medical transcription) over a period of 8years, Accentia management decided to venture into
24 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 - 2011
integrated Healthcare Receivables Cycle Management(HRCM), which was a logical extension of its ongoingbusiness.
In the US, a vast majority of healthcare services arereimbursed through insurance companies and it ismandatory to document, code and prepare detailed bill tobe submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement.Traditionally the above services are offered by separateservice organisations.
In the light of the Accentia’s past bitter experiences instabilising MT business from scratch which consumed ahuge amount of capital in the first 4 years from inception,the management decided to inorganically acquire the
necessary skills, professional expertise, intangible processesand systems and a set of high calibre professional employeesthrough acquisition of companies in the field of medicalcoding and medical billing & collections. The managementbelieved that acquisitions on the above lines would lead toAccentia offering end-to-end services in HRCM, which wouldreduce cost and improve the revenue cycle time andincrease the profitability of clients in the US.
Inorganic growth path
Pradeep was one of the pioneers who believed in theconcept of inorganic growth in Business Process Outsourcingin the healthcare segment. He believed that it is the fastestand easiest way to expand the business to a global scale.
The first step towards consolidation and increasing thesize through inorganic growth was taken with theacquisition of companies in the US namely GSR PhysiciansBilling Services Inc., GSR Systems Inc and Denmed Inc. Inorder to augment the capacities in the Indian back enddelivery side, Accentia zeroed in on a few stabilised andestablished healthcare BPO outfits like Asscent InfoservePvt Ltd. and Thunga Software Limited in India. Both thesecompanies were healthcare documentation outsourcingservice providers. With these acquisitions the workforce
and infrastructure grew multi-fold. This inorganic growth,accompanied by much higher organic traction after thecreation of a US based localised front-end, has helpedAccentia increase revenues significantly between FY2007 and FY 2011.
In the year 2008, as part of inorganic growth, AccentiaTechnologies Ltd acquired the US based OakTechnologies Inc, which had Indian back-end operationsat three locations in Hyderabad and one in Bhubaneswar.

THE NEW HEALTHCARE POLICY IN THE US AND ITS IMPACT – 2010 till dateThe emergence of EMR
The current incumbent President of the USA has taken keeninterest in bringing about a radical change in the healthcaresystem and as a result, the US Senate passed a historic HealthcareBill in 2010 that is set to eliminate gross inefficiencies in thesystem which was leading to wastage of billions of dollars.
The new law has paved way for a rethinking in the waydocumentation and healthcare receivables cyclemanagement has been conducted. One of the majormandatory requirements as per the new Obama HealthcareBill is the usage of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR)suite to capture and record patients’ demographical, clinicaland all other related data into a database, which can beaccessed anytime for future reference and analysis.
In order to motivate all the physicians and healthcare
organisations in the US to adopt the new EMR based clinicalmanagement, Obama administration has offered anincentive scheme. Monetary incentives of up to US$ 44,000is payable to all physicians who adopt any EMR softwarewhich is certified by the ONC-ATCB (Office of the NationalCoordinator – Authorised Testing and Certification Body).This certification does not represent an endorsement ofthe US Department of Health and Human Services norguarantee the receipt of incentive payments. Use of ONC-ATCB certified EMR software is a required first step inqualifying eligible healthcare providers for incentive fundingunder the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act(ARRA). The US government has set apart more than US$ 80billion specifically for this mission. However the physicianshave to prove meaningful use of EMR technology in theirclinical practice to claim the incentive amount.

Remodelling of Business Plan
The adoption of EMR based clinical practice has opened upavenues for an integrated end-to-end SaaS model (Softwareas a Service) of service delivery.

Why SAAS / EMR is a game-changer for Accentia
Unique Competitive Positioning: Currently most EMRcompanies in the US provide only the software, without theback-end BPOservices of inputtinginto the EMR chart.Further, there are veryfew HRCMcompanies thatstraddle MT – Coding– Billing – ReceivableMgmt (mostspecialize in one ofthese services). Accentia is thus uniquely positioned toprovide an integrated end-to-end SAAS service offering.
Ability to grow organically: Before the requirement ofphysicians moving to EMR, there was significant inertia for
physicians to changetheir existing HRCMservice providers.Due to theincentives –penalties associatedwith EMR’s, allphysicians are nowbeing forced to lookat new alternatives
with an EMR offering. Given Accentia’s unique positioningin this offering, they are very well placed to win areasonable share of this business.
Significantly increased opportunity size: As
compared to the current model, wherein most clients use
one of Accentia’s
services --- Accentia
would be offering
the entire end-to-
end service to
doctors and
charging a fixed %
of revenues. The
revenue per doctor
will be significantly
more than that of the same doctor using only MT, with
similar / higher levels of profitability.
Strategic Partner model: Given the large shift towards
EMR which is expected to take place in the US, there are a
number of players in
the HRCM
landscape, who are
looking at tie-ups to
be able to provide an
EMR solution to their
clients (especially
EMR service
delivery). There are a
number of small /
mid / large players that Accentia is in discussions with for a
partnership model. This significantly reduces the
requirement of Accentia having to make significant upfront
investments on the sales & marketing side.
Simplicity: Unlike other EMR software’s, InstaKare is a
product that finally provides innovation, advancement and
user-friendliness in the generic world of healthcare
management. The
software is
developed in such a
way that it is not at all
complicated and is
very simple to use to
keeping non-tech
savvy people in our
mind. Our EMR
software requires
only less training to get used to its various features. InstKare
integrates with each and every existing practice systems.
Because its functionality is so intuitive, physicians and their
practices can be made more effective.
