    Metropolis Healthcare Ghana Ltd and Metropolis Star Lab Kenya Limited are not adjusted for the period between

    December 31, 2017 and the date of the Restated Summary Statements since there were no significant transactions

    and events that occurred in this period.

    There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not

    provide reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to

    explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring

    Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our

    Company’s financial data. The degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring

    Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with

    Indian accounting policies and practices, Indian GAAP, Ind AS, the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI ICDR

    Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial

    disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.

    Unless the context otherwise indicates, any amount and percentage, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”

    and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 18, 135

    and 492, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of

    the Restated Consolidated Summary Statements.

    Certain figures contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including financial information in rupees million,

    have been subject to rounding adjustments. All decimals have been rounded off to two decimal points other than

    the operational numbers which have been rounded off to one decimal point in some instances. In certain instances,

    (i) the sum or percentage change of such numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the

    sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that

    column or row. Further, any figures sourced from third-party industry sources may be rounded off to other than

    two decimal points to conform to their respective sources.

    Industry and Market Data

    Unless stated otherwise, industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been obtained

    or derived from publicly available information as well as industry publications and sources.

    Information has also been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on the report titled “Indian

    Diagnostic Industry Report” dated September 20, 2018, that we have commissioned from Frost & Sullivan (the

    industry report from Frost & Sullivan India Private Limited, which have been used for industry related data in

    this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and such data has not been independently verified by us” on page 35.

    Industry publications generally state that the information contained in such publications has been obtained from

    sources generally believed to be reliable, but their accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not

    guaranteed, and their reliability cannot be assured and accordingly, investment decisions should not be on such

    information. Although we believe that the industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is

    reliable, it has not been independently verified by us, the Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs or any of our or their

    respective affiliates or advisors and none of these parties make any representation as to the accuracy of this

    information. The data used in these sources may have been reclassified by us for the purposes of presentation.

    Data from these sources may also not be comparable. Industry publications may also base their information on

    estimates and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.

    The extent to which the market and industry data presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful

    depends upon the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data.

    There are no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which the business of our Company is

    conducted, and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely among different market and industry sources.

    Such data involves risks, uncertainties and numerous assumptions and is subject to change based on various

    factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” on page 18. Accordingly, investment decisions should not be

    based solely on such information.

    In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the section “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 110 includes

    information relating to our peer group companies. Such information has been derived from publicly available

    sources, and neither we nor the BRLMs have independently verified such information.
