ANNUAL REPORT 2016/17 23
Operational Review
The year under review was one of numerous challenges amidst
a highly competitive environment. Sri Lanka is undergoing
numerous changes on a demographic and epidemiological front
that requires much medical intervention. Non-communicable
diseases, more commonly heart diseases, diabetes, different
forms of cancer and asthma cause more than three quarters
of all deaths in the country, while one in five people die
prematurely from these conditions as recorded by the World
Health Organisation (WHO). All of this has been brought about
by unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles which have created an
economic and public health issue. The Ministry of Health has
identified the risk and set in motion operational mechanisms
to tackle the burden. At Durdans, we strive to be proactive in
terms of our contribution towards the betterment of community

Patient and Staff Safety
This element is of paramount importance to the Company
and the international accreditation bestowed on the Durdans
Brand. Staff is trained to ensure the safety of every patient in all
aspects of treatment at all times. Vaccinations against infections
such as Hepatitis B are administered to staff members who are
exposed to such diseases. Regular screening tests are conducted
for staff of critical care units to minimise hospital borne
infections. Awareness programs are also conducted for medical
and clinical staff as well as for the healthcare professionals to
mitigate some of the more challenging issues.
Human Resources
The Company considers its people to be its biggest asset
and continues to invest in same to create a more conducive
environment for them to work in. Ensuring greater employee
engagement, while providing comprehensive levels of training
has helped to minimise the level of operational risk in the
Company that could arise from conflict of interest, fraud and
mismanagement or due to poorly trained employees. During
the past several years, the Company has taken many steps
to transform its organisational culture in to a team oriented
environment. Continuous efforts are being taken to improve
communication between management and staff and team
leaders and their units to disseminate information across the
organisation in a more effective and an efficient manner.
Results of the annual employee satisfaction survey carried out
by the Human Resources Department are collated carefully
and corrective action taken to improve/address the concerns of
employees where necessary.

for information security, ensuring privacy and confidentiality of

Loans and Receivables - Refundable Deposits and Fixed Deposits in Financial Institutions
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the Effective Interest Rate
(EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and
fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the income statement. The
losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in finance cost.

The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were
used to estimate the fair values:
a. Cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying
amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
b. The fair value of loans from banks and other financial liabilities, obligations under finance leases, as well as other non-current
financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit
risk and remaining maturities.
c. Fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is derived from quoted market prices in active markets, if available.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Groups senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Groups senior management is supported by a
financial acumen team that advises on financial risks and the appropriate financial risk governance framework for the Group. The
finance team provides assurance to the Groups senior management that the Groups financial risk-taking activities are governed by
appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with group policies
and group risk appetite.
The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will which fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market prices comprise two types of risk: interest rate risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk. Financial
instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, available-for-sale investments and derivative financial
instruments.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31st March in 2017 and 2016.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and
borrowings, after the impact of interest rate changes. With all other variables held constant, the Groups profit before tax is affected
through the impact on floating rate borrowings as follows. (There is only an immaterial impact on the Groups equity):
2017 Rs.
Loans & Borrowings +1% (11,986,142)
-1% 11,986,142
2016
Loans & Borrowings +1% (11,933,024)
-1% 11,933,024
At the reporting date, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was Rs.7,336,409. A decrease of 10% on the CSE market
index could have an impact of approximately Rs.733,641 on the equity attributable to the Group, depending on whether or not the
decline is significant or prolonged. An increase of 10% in the value of the listed securities would only impact equity but would not
have an effect on profit or loss.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a
financial loss. The Group is being exposed to the credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its
financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.
Trade Receivables
Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Groups established policies, procedures and control relating
to customer credit risk management. Credit quality of the customer is assessed based on an extensive credit evaluation format and
individual credit limits are defined in accordance with this assessment. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and
obtaining the Letter of Guarantees from patients who are admitted to the hospital through corporate customers. The requirement
for an impairment is analysed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. Additionally, a large number of minor
receivables are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on the actual
incurred historical data. The Group does not hold collateral as security. The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect
to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent
markets.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Groups financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted payments.
The primary objective of the Groups capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital
ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or
adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new
shares.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31st March 2017 and
31st March 2016.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is net debt divided by total capital plus net debt. The Groups policy is to
keep the gearing ratio between 25% and 40%. The Group includes within net debt, interest bearing loans and borrowings, bank
overdrafts redeemable debentures, trade and other payables, less cash and cash equivalents.
