The company managed to conclude its Rs. 250 million IPO using the full quota of days in March despite bearish sentiments. It offered 25% stake or 100 million shares at Rs. 2.50 each. The Issue opened for the public on 12 March and closed on 30 March.
The IPO drew 497 applications requesting 107 million shares worth Rs. 267.4 million. The basis of allotment was 100% allocation up to eight million shares applied and a minimum of eight million shares plus 95.05% of the balance shares applied if original application is for over eight million shares.

Of the Rs. 250 million IPO, Rs. 140 million will be used to partially settle the loans obtained from Bank of Ceylon and Rs. 30 million to settle the bank overdraft facility. This will enhance earnings per share and the net asset value of the company with 100% savings due to tax-free BOI project.
Balance funds will be directed towards the purchase of medical equipment, including new laparoscopy and mammography machines, in addition to the planned expansion of lab facilities, the establishment of an eye surgical unit, construction of a new car park and the purchase of fresh pharmaceutical and lab stocks.
