Accounting Policies of Aspira Pathlab & Diagnostics Ltd. Company

Mar 31, 2025

2.1 Basis of Preparation and Presentation

a) The Standalone Balance Sheet of the Company as at 31 March 2025 and the standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including
Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash flows for
the year ended 31 March 2025 and summary of significant accounting policies and other financial information (together referred
as '' Standalone Financial Statements'') have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (''Ind AS'') notified
under section 133 of the companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended, and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India.

b) The standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) on the accrual basis of accounting and historical cost convention with the exception of certain
material items that have been measured at fair value as required by the relevant Ind AS and explained in the ensuing policies
below. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transact ion between
market participants at the measurement date.

c) All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company''s normal operating cycle and other
criteria set out in the Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013. Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the
normal time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has
ascertained its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current

d) The standalone financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (''INR''). All amounts disclosed in the financial statements
and notes have been rounded-off to two decimal places to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III to t he
Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise indicated.

2.2 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of standalone financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimate s
and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these standalone financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of
estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the a mounts
recognised in the standalone financial statements are included in the following notes:

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill
has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash¬
generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than
expected, an impairment loss may arise.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. There is no
such change in the useful life of the assets.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction bet ween market
participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are
categorised into Level 1,2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the
significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

a) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

b) Level 2 inputs are inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within level 1 for the
asset or liability.

c) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability reflecting significant modifications to observable related market
data or Company''s assumptions about pricing by market participants.

(i) Property, Plant and Equipments are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The
cost comprises purchase price including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax
authorities), borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working
condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

(ii) Capital Work-in-Progress represents Property, plant and equipment that are not ready for their intended use as at the reporting date.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipments is added to its book value only if it increases the future
benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing Prope rty, Plant
and Equipments, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement
of profit and loss for the year during which such expenses are incurred.

(iv) Gains or losses arising from derecognition of Property, Plant and Equipments are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is dereco gnized.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values

Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipments other than Leasehold Improvements is provided, pro-rata for the period in use, on
the straight-line method in the manner prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Estimated useful lives of assets are
determined based on technical parameters/assessments.

The Management believes that useful lives currently used, which is prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013,
fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of PPE, though these lives in certain cases are different from lives
prescribed under Schedule II.

(i) Leasehold Improvements are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets or the unexpired lease period, whichever, is lower. Based
on the same, leasehold improvements are being depreciated over a period of 3 - 5 years.

(ii) In respect of Computers, Office Equipment and Furniture, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis considering the useful
lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(iii) In respect of Plant & Machinery comprise of Lab equipments and Lab Instruments, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis
considering the useful life that is period of eight years & ten years respectively, determined based on the management''s experience of
use of the assets, as against the period of thirteen years & fifteen ye ars as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013

Goodwill

For measurement of goodwill arising on a business combination, subsequent measurement is at costs less any accumulated
impairment losses.

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired at purchase of
business is recorded at their fair value as at the date of purchase of business. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding
capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which
the expenditure is incurred.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.
Computer software and Website development cost is being amortized using the straight-line method over its useful life, not exceeding
three years.

2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets except inventories toascertain
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the
asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s net selling price and it s value in use. The
recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent
of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is
considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are
discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such

transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Intangible assets excluding goodwill with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an
indication that the asset may be impaired.

2.5 Investments and Other financial assets
Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:

Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash
flow.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All Financial assets other than those measured subsequently at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL), are recognized initially
at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets
carried at fair value through Profit and Loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at: fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through Profit
and Loss), or amortized cost.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (''FVOCI'') or fair
value through Profit and Loss (''FVTPL'') till de-recognition on the basis of (i) the entity''s business model for managing the financial
assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Amortised cost:

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and
interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is
recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in other income using the effect ive interest rate method.

Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment t hat is
subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from
these financial assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified
as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVOCI or FVTPL.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is
irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of
Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of
Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.
Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured following the ''simplified approach'' at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL at each
reporting date. In respect of other financial assets, the loss allowance is measured at 12 months ECL only if there is no significant
deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Comp any''s balance
sheet) when:

The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or the Company has transferred its rights to receive
cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party
under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either

- (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

-(b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control
of the asset.

On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) and debt instruments (other than debt
instruments measured at FVOCI) are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of debt instruments
measured at FVOCI and that are accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss on de-recognition.

Income recognition
Interest income

Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a f inancial
asset.

2.6 Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by a Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the
substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. All financial liabilities are subsequently
measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption amount is recognised
in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the established loan facilities are
recognised as transaction cost of the loan, to the extent that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn dow n.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at
least 12 months after the reporting period.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or
transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised
in profit or loss as other gain/(loss).

2.7 Inventories

Inventories comprise of Reagents, Diagnostic Kits, laboratory Chemicals, Stores and Consumables. Inventories are valued at lower of
cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present condition and location. Cost is determined by the FIFO method.

2.8 Revenue recognition

Company''s Revenue comprises of revenue from providing healthcare services such as health check-up and laboratory services to the
customers. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, price concessions
etc with the customer or based on the consideration as specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time
when the Company satisfies performance obligations by rendering the promised service to its customers. Generally, each test
represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognised when the test report is generated i.e. when the
performance obligation is satisfied. Unearned revenue is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues .

Interest income is accounted for on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of
interest.

2.9 Leases

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116- Leases on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective approach by applying the new
standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and therefore the comparative information has not been res tated and
continues to be reported in accordance with Ind AS 17. The Company also elected to use the recognition exemption for lease contracts
that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") and lease contracts for which the
underlying asset is of low value other than land. ("low value assets").

The company as a lessee

As a lessee the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before
the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset
or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is
subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the
right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as
those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted
for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments
that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily
determined, company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments as per lease agreement initially measured
using effective interest method. For short-term leases and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments on straight¬
line basis over the term of the lease to statement of profit and loss as an expense.
Interest cost on lease liability is booked as finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.

2.10 Foreign currency transactions

Initial recognition - Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount
the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Conversion - Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the Balance Sheet.
Exchange differences - Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they
were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous standalone financial statements, are recognised as income or as
expenses in the year in which they arise.

2.11 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include provident fund, ESI and gratuity.

Defined contribution plan

Employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund & ESI, which is a defined contribution plan, in
accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESI
Act). Contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.

Defined benefit Plan

Gratuity is a post-employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in
respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit/ obligation are
calculated at the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.
The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss:

a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements b)
Net interest expense or income

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fa ir value of
plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of the profit & loss. Re¬

measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from. Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses, Return on plan
assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling. Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling
are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements are not reclassified to
Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

All short-term employee benefits are accounted on undiscounted basis during the accounting period based on services rendered by
employees. Long term employee benefits, if any, which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in
which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the obligation as at the Balance
Sheet date.

Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates
and employee and pensioner demographics. The Company determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes
these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the
amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency
between some of the assumptions.

2.12 Taxes on income

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.

The provision for current taxation is computed in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred tax is recognised on
temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and corresponding
tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable tempor ary
differences.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable profit or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax
payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (or recovered from) the taxation
authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purpose and the amount considered for tax purpose. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied
to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences, only if it is probable
that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit o f part or
all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized such reductions are reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxab le profits will
be available.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probab le that
future taxable profits will be available against which they can be recovered.

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Company expects, at the reporting date, to recove r or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

d) The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (''INR''). All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded-off to two decimal places to the nearest lakhs as per the requirement of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013, unless otherwise indicated.

2.2 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from the estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. There is no such change in the useful life of the assets.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level

1,2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

2.3 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

(i) Property, Plant and Equipments are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the tax authorities), borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and any directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

(ii) Capital Work-in-Progress represents Property, plant and equipment that are not ready for their intended use as at the reporting date.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipments is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values

Depreciation on Property, Plant and Equipments other than Leasehold Improvements is provided, pro-rata for the period in use, on the straight-line method in the manner prescribed under Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Estimated useful lives of assets are determined based on technical parameters/assessments.

The Management believes that useful lives currently used, which is prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of PPE, though these lives in certain cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II.

(i) Leasehold Improvements are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets or the unexpired lease period, whichever, is lower. Based on the same, leasehold improvements are being depreciated over a period of 3 - 5 years.

(ii) In respect of Computers, Office Equipment and Furniture, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis considering the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(iii) In respect of Plant & Machinery comprise of Lab equipments and Lab Instruments, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis considering the useful life that is period of eight years & ten years respectively, determined based on the management''s experience of use of the assets, as against the period of thirteen years & fifteen years as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013

Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization / impairment losses.

Goodwill

For measurement of goodwill arising on a business combination, subsequent measurement is at costs less any accumulated impairment losses.

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired at purchase of business is recorded at their fair value as at the date of purchase of business. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Computer software and Website devlopment cost is being amortized using the straight line method over its useful life, not exceeding three years.

2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets except inventories to ascertain whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset''s recoverable amount. An asset''s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset''s net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

Nonfinancial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Intangible assets excluding goodwill with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

2.5 Investments and Other financial assets

Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:

Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flow.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

All Financial assets other than those measured subsequently at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL), are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at: fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through Profit and Loss), or amortized cost.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (''FVOCI'') or fair value through Profit and Loss (''FVTPL'') till derecognition on the basis of (i) the entity''s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Amortised cost:

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVOCI or FVTPL.

The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss ("ECL") model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt instruments measured at FVOCI.

Loss allowances on trade receivables are measured following the ''simplified approach'' at an amount equal to the lifetime ECL at each reporting date. In respect of other financial assets, the loss allowance is measured at 12 month ECL only if there is no significant deterioration in the credit risk since initial recognition of the asset or asset is determined to have a low credit risk at the reporting date.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset ) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Company''s balance sheet) when:

The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ''pass-through'' arrangement; and either

- (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or

-(b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of

the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

On de-recognition, any gains or losses on all equity instruments (measured at FVTPL) and debt instruments (other than debt instruments measured at FVOCI) are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Gains and losses in respect of debt instruments measured at FVOCI and that are accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss on de-recognition.

Income recognition Interest income

Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

2.6 Financial liabilities and equity instruments Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by a Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the established loan facilities are recognised as transaction cost of the loan, to the extent that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn down.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

De-recognition of financial liabilities

The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company''s obligations specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other gain/(loss).

2.7 Inventories

Inventories comprise of Reagents, Diagnostic Kits, laboratory Chemicals, Stores and Consumables. Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition and location. Cost is determined by the FIFO method.

2.8 Revenue recognition

Company''s Revenue comprises of revenue from providing healthcare services such as health check up and laboratory services to the customers. Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for discounts, price concessions etc with the customer or based on the consideration as specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Company satisfies performance obligations by rendering the promised service to its customers. Generally, each test represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognised when the test report is generated i.e. when the performance obligation is satisfied. Unearned revenue is recognised when there is billings in excess of revenues.

Interest Income is accounted for on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of interest.

2.9 Leases

The Company has adopted Ind AS 116- Leases on 1 April 2019 using the modified retrospective approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application and therefore the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported in accordance with Ind AS 17. The Company also elected to use the recognition exemption for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of twelve months or less ("short-term leases") and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value other than land. ("low value assets").

The company as a lessee

As a lessee the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, company''s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments as per lease agreement initially measured using effective interest method. For short-term leases and low value leases, the Company recognises the lease payments on straight-line basis over the term of the lease to statement of profit and loss as an expense.

Interest cost on lease liability is booked as finance cost in the statement of profit and loss.

2.10 Foreign currency transactions

Initial recognition - Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

Conversion - Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the Balance Sheet.

Exchange differences - Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise.

2.11 Employee benefits

Employee benefits include provident fund, ESI and gratuity.

Defined contribution plan

Employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund & ESI, which is a defined contribution plan, in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and Employees'' State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESI Act). Contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.

Defined benefit Plan

Gratuity is a post employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit/ obligation are calculated at the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss: a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements b) Net interest expense or income

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of the profit & loss. Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/losses, Return on plan assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling. Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements are not reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

All short term employee benefits are accounted on undiscounted basis during the accounting period based on services rendered by employees. Long term employee benefits, if any, which are not expected to occur within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service are recognised as a liability at the present value of the obligation as at the Balance Sheet date.

Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates and employee and pensioner demographics. The Company determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency between some of the assumptions.

2.12 Taxes on income

Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax.

The provision for current taxation is computed in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred tax is recognised on remporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or recoverable on the taxable profit or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or recoverable in respect of previous years. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid to (or recovered from) the taxation authorities, using the applicable tax rates and tax laws.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and the amount considered for tax purpose. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences, only if it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized such reductions are reversed when it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be recovered.

The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

2.13 Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

2.14 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources.

1A Significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of accounting and preparation of financial statements

In accordance with the notification issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the Company is required to prepare its Financial Statements as per the Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended by the Companies (Accounting Standards)Amendment Rules, 2016 with effect from 1st April, 2016. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these Financial Statements which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31st March, 2018, the Statement of Profit and Loss, the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year ended 31st March, 2018, and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together hereinafter referred to as “Financial Statements”. The figures for the previous year ended 31stMarch, 2017 and Opening Balance Sheet as on 1st April, 2016 have also been reinstated by the Management as per the requirements of Ind AS.

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with the Indian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP) on the accrual basis of accounting and historical cost convention except for certain material items that have been measured at fair value as required by the relevant Ind AS and explained in the ensuing policies below. The financial statements are presented in Indian Rupees (‘INR’)

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the years presented. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each balance sheet date. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and future periods affected. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

Key sources of estimation uncertainty Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the directors to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, an impairment loss may arise.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. There is no such change in the useful life of the assets.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

In estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where level 1 inputs are not available, the Company engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. The management works closely with qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE)

(i) Property, Plant and Equipments are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, borrowing costs if capitalization criteria are met and directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts and rebates are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.

(ii) Capital Work-in-Progress represents Property, plant and equipment that are not ready for their intended use as at the reporting date.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure related to an item of Property, Plant and Equipments is added to its book value only if it increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. All other expenses on existing Property, Plant and Equipments, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure and cost of replacing parts, are charged to the statement of profit and loss for the year during which such expenses are incurred.

(iv) Gains or losses arising from derecognition of Property, Plant and Equipments are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is derecognized.

Depreciation methods, estimated useful lives and residual values

Depreciation is provided, pro-rata for the period in use, on the straight-line method based on the respective estimate of useful lives given below. Estimated useful lives of assets are determined based on technical parameters/ assessments. The Management believes that useful lives currently used, which is prescribed under Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013, fairly reflects its estimate of the useful lives and residual values of PPE, though these lives in certain cases are different from lives prescribed under Schedule II.

(i) Leasehold Improvements are depreciated over the useful lives of the assets or the unexpired lease period, whichever, is lower. Based on the same, leasehold improvements are being depreciated over a period of 3 - 5 years.

(ii) In respect of Computers, Office Equipment and Furniture, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis considering the useful lives prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

(iii) In respect of Lab equipments and Lab Instruments, the depreciation is calculated by straight line basis considering the useful life that is period of eight year & ten years respectively, determined based on the management’s experience of use of the assets, as aginst the period of fifteen years as prescribed under Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013

The Company has considered following useful lives to provide depreciation on its fixed assets:

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated amortization / impairment losses.

Goodwill

For measurement of goodwill arising on a business combination, subsequent measurement is at costs less any accumulated impairment losses. In respect of business combination that occurred prior to the transition date i.e. 1 April 2016, goodwill is included on the basis of its deemed cost, which represents the amount recorded under previous GAAP.

Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually.

Acquired intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired at purchase of business is recorded at their fair value as at the date of purchase of business. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in the statement of profit and loss in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The Company amortizes intangible assets with a finite useful life using the straight-line method over the estimated usefullives. Computer software and Website devlopment cost is being amortized using the straight line method over its useful life, not exceeding three years.

(d) Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets except inventories to ascertain whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining net selling price, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Intangible assets excluding goodwill with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

(e) Investments and Other financial assets Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories:

Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and

Those measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flow.

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through Profit and Loss are expensed in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, financial assets are measured at: fair value (either through other comprehensive income or through Profit and Loss), or amortized cost.

Debt instruments

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (‘FVOCI’) or fair value through Profit and Loss (‘FVTPL’) till de-recognition on the basis of (i) the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and (ii) the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Amortised cost:

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortised cost is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in other income using the effective interest rate method.

Fair Value Through Profit and Loss (FVTPL):

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVTPL is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which it arises. Interest income from these financial assets is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity instruments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at FVTOCI or FVTPL.The Company makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments. Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure: financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, deposits, trade receivables and bank balance. The Company follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component. The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized only when:

the Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognized. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is derecognized if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where the Company retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognized to the extent of continuing involvement in the financial asset.

Income recognition Interest income

Interest income from debt instruments is recognized using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Dividend income

Dividends are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(f) Borrowing cost

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction cost) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings, using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the established loan facilities are recognised as transaction cost of the loan, to the extent that it is probable that some or all the facility will be drawn down.

Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other gain/(loss).

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

(g) Inventories

Inventories comprise of Reagents, Chemicals, Medicines and Consumables. Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventories comprises cost of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition and location. Cost is determined by the FIFO cost method.

(h) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises of revenue from providing healthcare services such as health check up and laboratory services. Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue from rendering services are recognised on an accrual basis as and when services are performed. Revenue comprises of amount billed (net of discounts) in respect of tests conducted and is recognized as and when the samples are registered for the purpose of conducting the tests which usually take not more than 48 hours. Income from interest is accounted for on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the applicable rate of interest. Dividend income is recorded when the right to receive the dividend is established.

(i) Leases

Lease of assets under which all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(j) Foreign currency transactions

Initial recognition - Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Conversion - Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the Balance Sheet. Exchange differences - Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise.

(k) Employee benefits

(i) All short term employee benefits are accounted on undiscounted basis during the accounting period based on services rendered by employees.

(ii) Employees of the Company are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund, which is a defined contribution plan, in accordance with Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Contribution paid or payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which services are rendered by the employee.

(iii) Gratuity is a post employment benefit and is in the nature of a defined benefit plan. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of gratuity is the present value of the defined benefit/ obligation at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit/ obligation are calculated at the balance sheet date by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The Company recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the statement of profit and loss: a) Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailment and non-routine settlements b) Net interest expense or income

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in employee benefit expenses in the statement of the profit & loss. Re-measurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses arising from Re-measurement of Actuarial(gains)/ losses, Return on plan assets, excluding amount recognized in effect of asset ceiling, Re-measurement arising because of change in effect of asset ceiling are recognised in the period in which they occur directly in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements are not reclassified to Statement of Profit and Loss in subsequent periods.

Ind AS 19 requires the exercise of judgment in relation to various assumptions including future pay rises, inflation and discount rates and employee and pensioner demographics. The Company determines the assumptions in conjunction with its actuaries, and believes these assumptions to be in line with best practice, but the application of different assumptions could have a significant effect on the amounts reflected in the income statement, other comprehensive income and balance sheet. There may be also interdependency between some of the assumptions.

(l) Share based compensation

Measurement and disclosure of the employee share based payment plans is done in accordance with the Guidance Note on Accounting for Employee Share Based Payments, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The Group measures compensation cost relating to employee stock options using the intrinsic value method. Compensation expense is amortized over the vesting period of the option on a straight line basis.

(m) Taxes on income

The provision for current taxation is computed in accordance with the relevant tax regulations. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the accounting and taxable income for the year and quantified using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted as at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets in respect of unabsorbed depreciation and carry forward losses under tax laws are recognised and carried forward to the extent there is virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised in future. Other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is a reasonable certainty of realisation in future. Such assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to reassess realisation

(n) Provisions and contingent liabilities

A provision is recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted to their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events beyond the control of the Company or a present obligation that is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in extremely rare cases where there is a liability that cannot be recognized because it cannot be measured reliably. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.

(o) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders (after deducting preference dividends and attributable taxes) by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue, share split, and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in resources. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

(p) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(q) Segment reporting policy

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments and has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company. Refer note 30 for segment information presented.

r) Opreating Cycle:

The Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as Current and non-current.

s) Cash Flow Statement

Cash flows are reported using the indirect method, whereby profit for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows are segregated into operating, investing and financing activities.

t) Recent Accounting Pronouncement

The new Standards, amendments to Standards that are issued but not yet effective until the date of authorisation for issuance of the said financial statements are discussed below. The Company has not early adopted these amendments and intends to adopt when they become effective.

Ind AS 115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Ministry of Corporate affairs has notified Ind AS 115 ‘Revenue from Contracts with customers’, which is effective from 1 April, 2018. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive control-based model for revenue recognition and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance based on risks on rewards.

Ind AS 21 Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration:

Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration: On 28 March, 2018, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) has notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2018 containing Appendix B to Ind AS 21, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration which clarifies the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, when an entity has received or paid advance consideration in a foreign currency. The amendment will come into force from 1 April, 2018. The Company is evaluating the requirements of Ind AS 21 and its effect of the financial statements.

Amendments to Ind AS 12 - Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses

The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April, 2018. These amendments are not expected to have material effect on Company’s financial statements.

The Company has elected to continue with the carrying value of all of its property, plant and equipment and Intangible Assets as at the transition date, viz., measured as per the previous GAAP and use that carrying value as its deemed cost as of the transition date.

The average credit period from service is 30 days. No interest is charged on the trade receivables for the amount overdue above the credit period. There are 5 customers who represent more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables. The Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the days the receivables are due and the rates as given in the provision matrix. The provision matrix at the end of the reporting period is as follows.
