PART I

Item 1.                   Business

Company Background

IGC, a Maryland based corporation, develops cannabis-based combination therapies to treat Alzheimer’s, pain, nausea, eating disorders, several end points of Parkinson’s, and epilepsy in humans, dogs and cats.  In support of this effort, IGC has assembled a portfolio of patent filings and four lead product candidates addressing these conditions. In India, the Company is engaged in heavy equipment rental, and in Malaysia, real-estate management.

Business Strategy

Our long-term goal is to establish IGC as a specialty-pharmaceutical provider of phytocannabinoid-based pharmaceutical and Complimentary Alternative Medicine (“CAM”, “nutraceutical”) products.  Our short-term goal is to conduct human and veterinarian medical trials on our four product candidates.  Our medium-term goal is to market CAM based therapies through joint ventures and partnerships.

Business Organization

We are a Maryland corporation formed in April 2005 for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses with operations primarily in India through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. In March 2006, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock.  Our principal office in the U.S. is in Bethesda, Maryland, in addition we have a facility in Washington State. Our back office is located in Kochi, Kerala India. In addition, many of our staff and advisors work from their home offices. We maintain a website at http://www.igcinc.us and our telephone number is +1-301-983-0998. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in this report, and you should not consider it a part of this report.  As at April 1, 2016 our operational subsidiaries were located in China, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia.  As at March 31, 2017 our operational subsidiaries are located in India and Malaysia. Our filings are available on www.sec.gov.

Products

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that exert a range of effects on the body, including impacting the immune response, gastrointestinal maintenance and motility, muscle functioning, and nervous system response and functioning. Phytocannabinoids are cannabinoids that occur naturally in the cannabis plant, they are abundant in the viscous resin produced by glandular structures called trichomes. There are over 480 different compounds in the cannabis plant.  Many of them have been identified as cannabinoids. Of these THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the main psychoactive component (“high”) in the plant with many therapeutic uses.  The other broadly pursued non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid, CBD (Cannabidiol), is pleiotropic influencing many pathways in humans, dogs, and cats and may be used to provide relief to a variety of symptoms including pain, seizures, and eating disorders.

The Company is focused on four products that it is preparing  for medical trials: Natrinol is a natural substitute for Marinol, or synthetic THC. This product is aimed at relieving nausea, vomiting and increasing appetite in patients with AIDS and Cancer.  Caesafin uses combination therapy to alleviate seizures in dogs and cats.  Serosapse addresses several end points in Parkinson’s disease including Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep disorder, anxiety, and dyskinesia. Hyalolex is aimed at reducing the buildup of beta-amyloid in Alzheimer’s patients.

Services

The Company provides construction management services for the construction of a 7-star hotel in Genting Malaysia.  In India the Company rents heavy equipment with operators to construction companies.

Industry Overview

We believe that there are three factors coalescing to create entrepreneurial opportunities in the cannaceutical industry. The first is deregulation of the industry. This is taking place in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and other parts of the world. We believe that during any major deregulation, it takes several years for market equilibrium to be achieved. Most large companies don’t react quickly and that creates entrepreneurial opportunities, including as a first mover. The second factor is that the plant has cannabinoids that work on several pathways, in humans and animals, and that these cannabinoids can potentially be used to treat many diseases and aliments. The third factor is a rising awareness and demand for natural products including natural complementary and alternative medicines.

Target Markets

 We are developing four products using phytocannabinoid-based combination and mono therapies, for the treatment of a) Alzheimer’s disease, b) several end points associated with Parkinson’s disease, c) seizures in cats and dogs, and d) cancer and AIDS induced nausea, vomiting, and eating disorders.  Our target market for one of these products is very large and for the other three relatively smaller. There are 5.3 million adults suffering from Alzheimer’s in the U.S., and Medicare and Medicate are projected to spend $175 billion in 2017 on treatment. Alzheimer’s is America’s most expensive disease. The pharmaceutical market for this product, if it is proven effective in medical trials, and approved by the FDA, and we are successful in registering with the USPTO, is significant and rapidly growing. There are over one million adults suffering from Parkinson’s disease in the U.S., it is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide with an estimated 1% of adults over 60 suffering from the disease.  The market for curing the disease is very large. We are testing products for end points (REM sleep disorder, anxiety, dyskinesia) associated with Parkinson’s disease and we believe the market for these products is projected to be around $500 million. There are 160 million domesticated dogs and cats in the U.S. and about 1% suffer from seizures. Our veterinarian product uses combination therapy for the treatment of seizures in dogs and cats.  We are also developing a product for cancer and AIDS induced nausea, vomiting, and eating disorders.

The target market for the heavy equipment rental business is cyclical and highly dependent on the fleet of equipment available at the time a need arises.  We have a limited fleet of heavy equipment in India and the target market is small and restricted to the city of Kochi in the state of Kerala, India. Similarly, the construction management business is limited to project development in Genting Malaysia. We have, organically and through our investments, developed expertise in building medical grade pesticide free indoor organic farms, and extraction and separation methodologies using a variety of techniques. While we believe the target market for these services will be large, we have not yet begun targeting these markets.

Patents, Development Pipeline, and Licenses

Although, the Company believes the registration of patents is an important part of its business strategy and its success depends in part on such registration, the Company cannot guarantee that such patent filings will result in a successful registration with the USPTO.  Please see risk factors.

We have filed six provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), in the phytocannabinoid-based combination therapy space, for the indications of pain, medical refractory epilepsy, and cachexia. In addition, in May 2017, we acquired an exclusive license to a patent filed by the University of South Florida Research Foundation entitled “THC as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer’s Disease”.  The table below provides a status of the patent filings:

Indication	Provisional Filing	PCT Filing	Subsequent Activity

Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s is known as America’s most expensive disease with an estimated cost in 2017 to Medicare and Medicaid of $175 billion. There are currently over 5.3 million Americans with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and around 35 million worldwide. The cost of Alzheimer’s is skyrocketing as the baby-boomers age: the number of AD patients is expected to double over the next 20 years and the direct costs are expected to exceed $450 billion in the next 12 years.  Although the speed of progression can vary, the average life expectancy following diagnosis is believed to be between three and nine years.  It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. Currently, no treatment can stop or reverse the progression of the disease and there is still no accepted cure for AD.  Alzheimer’s is characterized by loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions – resulting in significant atrophy in the affected regions.  In brains of those affected by Alzheimer’s, both amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are visible by microscopy.  Amyloid plaques are dense deposits of beta-amyloid peptide and cellular material around neurons.  Neurofibrillary tangles are aggregates of the microtubule-associate protein tau, which accumulates inside the cells. The patent filing made by the University of South Florida Research Foundation claims discovery of a new pathway to disrupt and perhaps reverse the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques from aggregating on neurons.

Pain

The pain market represents a significant component of the healthcare system and The Journal of Pain in September 2012 reported that the annual estimated national cost of pain ranges from $560 billion to $635 billion.  This figure exceeds the entire cost of the nation’s priority health conditions.  Additionally, The American Pain Society recommends that pain be made more visible and be categorized as the fifth vital sign; recognizing that terminal illnesses are often accompanied by unbearable levels that are so severe and difficult to treat that death seems preferable. According to the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis has been particularly problematic for women; since 1999 there has been a 22 percent increase in the number of women who attribute their disability to arthritis.  Current treatment protocols such as the utilization of opioid-based drug therapies present several challenges and may result in debilitating consequences that affect patient day-to-day functioning and patients’ productivity. Commonly reported side effects include hallucinations, constipation, sedation, nausea, respiratory depression, and dysphoria. Our patent filing is based on a novel therapy that uses extracts from the cannabis plant for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and scleroderma pain. The therapy uses a cream that is applied to the joints, using a variety of delivery mechanisms including a bio-adhesive patch.

 

Seizures

Approximately 50 million people worldwide are affected by epilepsy (Sanders, 2003).  Epilepsy is thought to be due to multiple factors that include sodium, potassium, GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) and NMDA (N-Methyl-d-aspartate).  It is believed, for example, that to maximally control epilepsy, modulation of one or more of these receptors is required and that mono therapy is adequate in up to 25% of patients.  The onset of epileptic seizures can be life threatening, including long-term implications (Lutz, 2004) such as mental health problems, cognitive deficits and morphological changes (Swann, 2004, Avoli et. al., 2005). The onset of epilepsy also greatly affects lifestyle as sufferers live in fear of consequential injury or the inability to perform daily tasks (Fisher et. al., 2000). The scientific community (1980 Cunha et. al., 1986 Ames, 1990 Trembly et. al. recent testing by GW Pharmaceuticals, among others) have shown that Cannabidiol (CBD) has anti-convulsive properties in humans.  Other studies, (Davis and Ramsey) have shown that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can also help reduce seizures.  Three of our patent filings involving novel therapies use phytocannabinoid extracts from cannabis, in combination with other generic drugs, to treat medical refractory epilepsy in humans and seizures in dogs and cats.

Eating Disorders

Cachexia is a condition that accompanies severe illness such as cancer and results in the weakness and wasting away of the body. Cachexia physically weakens patients to the extent that response to standard treatments is poor.  In the U.S., it is estimated that a population of approximately 1.3 million are experiencing cachexia associated with cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, HIV/AIDS and other progressive illnesses. Cachexia is secondary to an underlying disease such as cancer or AIDS and is a positive risk factor for death.  As an example, cancer induced anorexia cachexia is responsible for about 20% of all cancer deaths.  Our patent filing involves a novel therapy that uses phytocannabinoids to stimulate senses (smell and taste) with a combination of drugs to stimulate appetite.  Our approach addresses the veterinarian market as dogs and cats also suffer from pain, epilepsy and cachexia and getting a product to market for the veterinarian industry is significantly less time consuming than getting products approved for human healthcare.

Competition

The development of phytocannabinoid-based therapies is currently not very competitive. The largest amount of research in this area is done in Israel. The most significant research and FDA approved trials are done by one large pharmaceutical company, and to a lesser extent by two other large firms. In the United States, there is very little wide spread research while most of the research is concentrated in Israel. This is mostly because the United States Drug Enforcement Administrating (“DEA”) classifies phytocannabinoid extracts as a Schedule 1 drug. This means that phytocannabinoids are characterized as “high potential for abuse,” and “no currently accepted medical use”. Further, any study conducted in the US must be registered and approved by the DEA and raw materials purchased through the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA).

We view competition in two ways, the first: we compete with 15 listed companies and 2 private companies that have articulated a business plan to develop phytocannabinoid based therapies, two large listed well-funded pharmaceutical companies, and three small listed companies. There are several microcap companies listed on the OTC and two private ones that also compete in this space.  We have limited competition in the areas of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and seizures for dogs and cats, using phytocannabinoid- based therapies. In the field of epilepsy in humans there is significant competition and so we are focused on seizures in dogs and cats where there is limited competition.  The second way we view competition is non-phytocannabinoid based therapies: there is severe competition in all areas that we are working on including for example Alzheimer’s, with almost all the massive and well financed pharmaceutical companies and four pure play listed companies working on the disease, albeit all of them without the use of phytocannabinoids.

Core Business Competencies

Our core competencies include the following: 

·   A network of doctors, PhDs, and intellectual property legal experts that have a sophisticated understanding of drug discovery, research, FDA filings, intellectual protection and product formulation.

·   Knowledge of various cannabis strains, their phytocannabinoid profile, extraction methodology, and impact on various pathways.  

·   Knowledge of the legal status of cannabis in various countries, access to medical writers, and clinical trial organizations in foreign countries, universities and research centers in Malaysia, India and Israel.

·   Knowledge of the equipment rental business in Kerala, India and the construction business in Malaysia.

Competitive Advantage

Our competitive advantage is based on experience and deep knowledge of deregulating industries; access to foreign markets where testing has less regulatory hurdles; experienced management; access to intellectual property experts; access to a network of doctors and PhDs; knowledge of FDA trials, extraction techniques, plant strains; and a strategy that is well differentiated.

Our Other Businesses and Investments

In Malaysia, our subsidiary Cabaran Ultima is the project manager of an estimated $262 million five-star hotel planned to be built on approximately 6 plus acres in Genting highlands. Genting is a hill resort one hour from Kuala Lumpur that boasts many attractions including a casino and is home to the 20^th Century Fox World theme park slated to open in 2017. The site is located within walking distance to the theme park and casino.  HBA Architecture, the hotel’s master planner and designer, have a prestigious design resume that includes numerous developments such as the Hilton Hanoi Opera Hotel Refurbishment in Vietnam, Marrisle Boutique Leisure Resort and Club Med Gongshan Island Resort, both located in China.  During the build-out phase we expect to receive revenue from project management.  Ultima’s market share of the real estate project planning, construction, and management industry in Malaysia is less than 1%.

According to Deloitte and KOTRA, the total market size of the construction industry in India is estimated at $126 billion.  However, various plans by the Indian government to build and modernize Indian infrastructure have been slow to materialize.  Through our subsidiary, TBL, we are engaged in renting heavy infrastructure construction equipment.  Our subsidiary has experience in the construction industry having in the past, constructed highways, rural roads, tunnels, dams, airport runways and housing complexes, mostly in southern Indian states.  Our current share of the overall market in India is less than 1% based on revenue.

In Hong Kong, through a majority owned subsidiary called Golden Gate that we renamed as IGC International, we operated an electronics business. Most of our revenue in fiscal 2016 come from that business. We had no revenue from Golden Gate since the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  We decided to exit this business because, we believe, there is a macroeconomic slow-down and consolidation in the electronic-components sector, and without scale, meaningfully competing is difficult.  IGC-INT’s share of the electronic trading market is less than 1% based on revenue.

In China, through a majority owned subsidiary called Ironman, we operated our iron ore business. As of March 31, 2016, we had three iron ore beneficiation plants in China, including the one under construction (under capital work-in progress), for about $6.1 million.  As of March 31, 2017, IGC has redeemed and subsequently retired as required by Maryland State law, part of the 3,150,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with its purchase of Ironman for all tangible operating assets of Ironman as a treasury stock transaction thus reducing IGC investment in Ironman to zero while still pursuing any and all legal avenues to recover as many of the originally issued shares. After December 31, 2016, Ironman is no longer consolidated. Ironman’s share of the iron ore trading market is less than 1% based on revenue.

In June 2014, we entered into a partnership agreement with TerraSphere Systems LLC to develop multiple facilities to produce organic leafy green vegetables utilizing TerraSphere’s advanced pesticide-free organic indoor farming technology. Under the agreement, we will own 51% of each venture once production is operational, and will have a right of first refusal to participate in all future build-outs. Additionally, in consideration for our issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock, we received a seven-year option to purchase TerraSphere Systems for cash or additional shares of our common stock. As of 2017, we are negotiating a conversion of the investment into shares of a Canadian public vehicle that TerraSphere has merged into.

In December 2014, we acquired 24.9% of the outstanding membership interests in Midtown Partners, a Florida limited liability company registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from Apogee Financial Investments, Inc.  The Purchase Agreement expired on June 30, 2015, and the Company is pursuing its rights under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to recover certain damages.  In the calendar year 2017, Midtown Partners had a profit.  The Company applied the equity method of accounting for investments and increased the value of its investment in Midtown Partners by 24.9% of the profit earned by Midtown Partner in the calendar year 2017.  Midtown’s share of the investment banking market is less than 1% based on revenue.

We acquired a 10% stake in a 1,000-room luxury hotel development project encompassing 6+ acres in Genting Highlands, Malaysia by subscribing to 10% stake in Brilliant Hallmark Sdn. Bhd. (“Brilliant”) free and clear of all encumbrances. On April 3, 2017, IGC sold back its ten percent holding in Brilliant Hallmark for a consideration of 4 million shares of IGC’s Common Stock that were returned and retired, thereby reducing the outstanding IGC shares in April 2017.  The Company does not expect to record a gain or loss from this transaction.

Revenue Contribution by Business Area

The following table sets out the revenue contribution for fiscal 2017 from our operating subsidiaries:

Operating Subsidiaries	Business Area	Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2017
Cabaran Ultima and TBL (1)	Construction project management and heavy equipment rental	$	367,279
IGC-INT (2)	Trading, electronic component		213,093
Total IGC		$	580,372

(1)Ultima’s and TBL’s current market share of the construction project management and heavy equipment rental businesses is less than 1% based on revenue.

(2) After March 31, 2017, will no longer be consolidated due to inactivity.

Customers

For the four Phytocannabinoid-based products that are in the development phase, we have no customers and no revenue.  For the electronic business we had 32 customers.  For the hotel development business located in Malaysia we have one customer. For our equipment leasing business located in India we have seven customers all of whom are construction companies.  One customer in Malaysia accounted for more than 42% of our revenue.

Growth and Expansion Strategy

Our growth and expansion strategy is to conduct medical trials on our four products, develop joint venture partners for marketing our products, and continue to develop new products for PTSD and depression.  We currently do not expect to expand the real estate management or rental businesses.

Sales and Marketing

For phytocannabinoid-based therapies we have no sales or marketing.  For the electronic business, that we have exited, our sales force was located in Hong Kong and China and the sales cycle lasted between one and two weeks.  For the hotel development business, our sales force is located in Malaysia where we have one customer, and for our equipment leasing business our sales force is located in Kochi, India where the sales cycle lasts around two months.

Technology and Intellectual Property

We have intellectual property attorneys that file patents or provisional patent applications, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws of general applicability, employee confidentiality, and invention assignment agreements, and other intellectual property protection methods to safeguard our technology, research and development. We have applied for preliminary patents on phytocannabinoid-based therapies in the areas of pain management, medical refractory epilepsy, eating disorders and cachexia. The Company holds all rights to the patents that have been filed by us with the USPTO.

Employees and Consultants

As of March 31, 2017, we employed a work force of approximately 31 employees and contract workers in the United States, India and Malaysia. We have a total of 16 full-time employees with the rest being part-time, seasonal, or advisors that are highly qualified in their specific areas of expertise.

Governmental Regulations and Approvals

In the United States, 26 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and The District of Columbia have allowed (subject to licensing) the cultivation, processing and sale of cannabis. However, cannabis including certain phytocannabinoids derived from the plant, specifically the psychoactive compound Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and the non-psychoactive, medically useful compound Cannabidiol (CBD) are both considered to be Schedule 1 drugs under the Control Substances Act (CSA). The implication for us is that testing to determine drug efficacy and toxicity screening of our formulations in the US will require procedural registration and approval from the DEA and sourcing from the NIDA.  For our products to be sold we would have to conduct FDA approved trials that will take between two and seven years. Regulatory approvals for applications in the veterinarian space are significantly shorter and this is an area that we are focused on.

Our business is impacted by government regulations surrounding the transfer of money to and from foreign countries.  India, Malaysia, and China have strict foreign exchange regulations that make it difficult to move money in and out of these countries.  Because we are a US based company we are subject to US laws that govern money laundering and this results in arduous amounts of paper work, delays, and extreme amounts of scrutiny, all of which are expensive.

Corporate History

In February 2007, we incorporated India Globalization Capital, Mauritius, Limited (“IGC-M”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, under the laws of Mauritius.  In March 2008, we completed acquisitions of interests in two companies in India, Sricon Infrastructure Private Limited (“Sricon”) and Techni Bharathi Limited (“TBL”).  Since March 31, 2013, we beneficially own 100% of TBL after completing the acquisition of the remaining 23.13% of TBL shares that were still owned by the founders of TBL. The 23.13% of TBL was acquired by IGC-MPL, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IGC-M. TBL shares are held by IGC-M. TBL is focused on the heavy equipment leasing business. In October 2014, pursuant to a Memorandum of Settlement with Sricon and related parties and in exchange for the 22% minority interest we had in Sricon, we received approximately five acres of prime land in Nagpur, India. The land is located a few miles from MIHAN, which is the largest development zone in terms of investment in India. The Company beneficially registered the land in its name on March 4, 2016.

In February 2009, IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Mining and Trading Private Limited (“IGC-IMT”) based in Chennai, India.  In July 2009, IGC-M beneficially purchased 100% of IGC Materials, Private Limited (“IGC-MPL”) and 100% of IGC Logistics, Private Limited (“IGC-LPL”) both based in Nagpur, India.  Together, these companies conducted our iron ore, cement, aggregate, and other materials, trading, transport and delivery businesses.

In December 2011, we acquired a 95% equity interest in Linxi HeFei Economic and Trade Co., known as Linxi H&F Economic and Trade Co., a People’s Republic of China-based company (“PRC Ironman”), by acquiring 100% of the equity of H&F Ironman Limited, a Hong Kong company (“HK Ironman”). Together, PRC Ironman and HK Ironman are referred to as “Ironman.” In February 2015, IGC filed a lawsuit in the circuit court of Maryland, against 24 defendants related to the acquisition of Ironman, seeking to have the court order rescission of the underlying Acquisition Agreement and to void any past or future transfer of IGC shares.  Between December 30, 2016 and February 24, 2017, IGC redeemed and subsequently retired as required by Maryland State law, approximately 2.4 million shares of IGC’s common stock issued in connection with its purchase of Ironman as a treasury stock transaction thus reducing IGC investment in Ironman to zero while still pursuing any and all legal avenues to recover as many of the originally issued shares of 3,150,000.  The assets of Ironman are shown on the balance sheet of IGC for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 but not for fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.  Please see the risk factor on Ironman and the financial Note 3 on the accounting impact on IGC’s balance sheet.

In January 2013, we incorporated IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited (“IGC-HK”) in Hong Kong. IGC-HK is a wholly owned subsidiary of IGC-M. In September 2014, we changed the subsidiary’s name to IGC Cleantech Ltd (“IGC-CT”). See Note 25 Subsequent Events for an update.

In May 2014, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the outstanding share capital of Golden Gate Electronics Limited (“Golden Gate”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong and now known as IGC International (“IGC-INT”). IGC-INT, headquartered in Hong Kong, operates an e-commerce platform for the trading of commodities and electronic components. The purchase price of the acquisition consisted of up to 1,209,765 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $1.05 million on the closing date of the acquisition. The terms of the Acquisition Agreement called for the delivery of 205,661 shares of IGC common stock at the signing of the Agreement and the remaining 1,004,094 shares were contingent on the electronics business meeting annual thresholds for revenue and profit through fiscal year ending on March 31, 2017.  The contingent shares were not delivered because IGC International was unable to meet the targets. As of March 31, 2017, we exited the business. We retired 205,661 shares of common stock, and returned control of IGC International to the original owners.  We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition. We have no disputes with the initial principals of Golden Gate.

In June 2014, we entered into a partnership agreement with TerraSphere Systems LLC to develop multiple facilities to produce organic leafy green vegetables utilizing TerraSphere’s advanced pesticide-free organic indoor farming technology. Under the agreement, we will own 51% of each venture once production is operational, and will have a right of first refusal to participate in all future build-outs. Additionally, in consideration for our issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock, we received a seven-year option to purchase TerraSphere Systems for cash or additional shares of our common stock. In fiscal 2018, we expect to convert this investment into shares of a public Canadian company where assets including this project is being merged.

In December 2014, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Apogee Financial Investments, Inc. (“Apogee”), the previous majority and sole owner of the outstanding membership interests of Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, a Florida limited liability company registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Midtown Partners”), to acquire 24.9% of the outstanding membership interests in Midtown Partners, and pursuant to certain conditions, subsequently 100%.  In consideration of the initial membership interest of 24.9%, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $888,000 in the name of Apogee.

In February 2016, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding share capital of Cabaran Ultima Sdn. Bhd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Ultima”), from RGF Land Sdn. Bhd. (“Land”), the sole shareholder of Ultima, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement among the parties. Ultima holds 51% of RGF Cabaran Sdn. Bhd., which holds 75% of RGF Construction Sdn. Bhd. The purchase price of the acquisition consists of up to 998,571 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $170 thousand on the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement. Ultima is an international real estate project management company with expertise in (i) building agro-infrastructure for growing medicinal plants and botanical extraction, (ii) construction of high-end luxury complexes such as service apartments, luxury condominiums and hotels, and (iii) design management of other large-scale infrastructure.

In August 2016, we subscribed to 10% of Brilliant Hallmark, Sdn. Bhd. a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Brilliant”).  We paid 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a Fair Market Value of $1.880 million for the 10% stake in Brilliant that holds the exclusive rights to build a hotel and develop the property in Genting Malaysia.  IGC had recourse to the land assets in the event of non-performance through a separate Tag Along Agreement dated August 1, 2016 between IGC on the one hand and RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., the shareholders of RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., and Brilliant on the other hand. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement, Brilliant assigned, sold, and transferred to IGC 11 shares of Brilliant, which shares constituted 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Brilliant. Likewise, as a consideration for the transaction, IGC issued to Brilliant the 4 million shares of its common stock. Please see Note 25 Subsequent Events for further information.

Item 1A.                Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this report in evaluating our company and our common stock.  If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.   In that case, the trading price of our common stock and other securities also could be adversely affected. We make various statements in this section, which constitute “forward-looking statements.”  See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Expansion Strategy

Our cannaceutical strategy and market capitalization makes it difficult to find accretive acquisitions and attract management.

Attracting management that understand the US regulatory environment, public company compliance, and is comfortable in the foreign countries we operate in is difficult.  Finding them in acquired companies is even more difficult. The acquisitions we make will depend on our ability to identify suitable companies to acquire, to complete those acquisitions on terms that are acceptable to us and in the timeframes and within the budgets we expect, and to thereafter improve the results of operations of the acquired companies and successfully integrate their operations on an accretive basis.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any or all of these steps.

We may be unable to continue to scale our operations, make acquisitions, or continue as a going concern if we do not successfully raise additional capital.

Building facilities, conducting research, and creating products from our formulations either in the pharmaceutical or CAM space require additional capital. If we are unable to successfully raise the capital we need we may need to reduce the scope of our businesses to fully satisfy our future short-term liquidity requirements.  If we cannot raise additional capital or reduce the scope of our business, we may be otherwise unable to achieve our goals or continue our operations.  We have incurred losses from operations in our prior years including the prior two fiscal years and have a lack of liquidity for expansion.  While we believe that we will be able to raise the capital we need to continue our operations, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts or will be able to raise enough capital for planned expansion.

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurance that we can again achieve or maintain profitability.

Our short-term focus is to become profitable.  However, there can be no guarantee that our efforts will be successful.  Even if we again achieve profitability, given our dependence on foreign country GDP growth and macroeconomic factors, we may not be able to sustain profitability and our failure to do so would adversely affect our businesses, including our ability to raise additional funds.

We expect to acquire companies and we are subject to evolving and often expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements.  Our failure to adequately adhere to these requirements, and comply with them with regard to acquired companies, some of which may be non-reporting entities, or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business and affect our status as a reporting company listed on a national securities exchange.

As a public reporting company whose shares are listed for trading on the NYSE MKT, we are subject to various regulations.  Compliance with these evolving regulations is costly and requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to our disclosure on controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting.  As we have made and continue to make acquisitions in foreign countries, our internal controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or fraud in the future. We cannot guarantee that we can establish internal controls over financial reporting immediately on companies that we acquire.  Thus, faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to enforce controls over acquired companies or to adhere to established controls and procedures, may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of our control systems are met.  A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our ability to continue as a reporting company listed on a national securities exchange.

10

We have a limited senior management team size that may hamper our ability to effectively manage a publicly traded company and manage acquisitions and that may harm our business.

Since we operate in several foreign countries, we use consultants, including lawyers and accountants, to help us comply with regulatory requirements and public company compliance on a timely basis.  As we expand, we expect to increase the size of our senior management.  However, we cannot guarantee that in the interim period our senior management can adequately manage the requirements of a public company and the integration of acquisitions, and any failure to do so could lead to the imposition of fines, penalties, harm our business, status as a reporting company and our listing on the NYSE MKT.

We own 24.9% of Midtown Partners (MTP) and will be subject to risks associated with being a minority member of the LLC with limited control.

We own 24.9% of MTP and, therefore, the investment will subject us to risks associated with being a minority member of the LLC with limited control. In addition to the specific risks associated with the minority investment in Midtown Partners, we will be subject to general acquisition-related risks discussed more generally in these “Risk Factors.”

Our expansion is dependent on laws pertaining to the legal cannabis industry.

We expect to acquire companies and hire management in the areas that we have identified.  These include, among others, bio-pharmaceuticals with a focus on capitalizing on specific niches within these areas such as phytocannabinoid-based therapies.  Entry into any of these areas requires special knowledge of the industry and products.  In the event that we are perceived to be entering the legal cannabis sector, even indirectly or remotely, we could be subject to increased scrutiny by regulators because, among other things, marijuana is a Schedule-1 controlled substance and is illegal under federal law.  Our failure to adequately manage the risk associated with these businesses and adequately manage the requirements of the regulators can adversely affect our business, our status as a reporting company and our listing on the NYSE MKT.  Further, any adverse pronouncements from regulators about businesses related to the legal cannabis sector could adversely affect our stock price if we are perceived to be in a company in the cannabis sector.

Our company is in a very new and highly regulated industry. Significant and unforeseen changes in policy may have material impacts on our business.

Continued development in the phytocannabinoids industry is dependent upon continued state legislative authorization of cannabis as well as legislation and regulatory policy at the federal level. The federal Controlled Substances Act currently makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. While there may be ample public support for legislative authorization, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use and handling of cannabis in the United States or in other jurisdictions, which would negatively impact our development of phytocannabinoid-based therapies and our ability to test and productize these therapies.

Many U.S. state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. While we do not intend to distribute or sell cannabis in the United States, it is unclear whether regulatory authorities in the United States would object to the registration or public offering of securities in the United States by our company, to the status of our company as a reporting company, or even to investors investing in our company if we engage in legal cannabis production and supply pursuant to the laws and authorization of the jurisdiction where the activity takes place. In addition, the status of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act may have an adverse effect on federal agency approval of pharmaceutical use of phytocannabinoid products. Any such objection or interference could delay indefinitely or increase substantially the costs to access the equity capital markets, test our therapies, or create products from these phytocannabinoid based therapies.

Banks and clearing houses may make it difficult for us to trade and clear our stock because they believe we are in the cannabis industry.

Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of cannabis. While there may be ample public support for legislative authorization, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Additionally, many U.S. state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. While we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis in the United States, our presence in the pharmaceutical space can be misunderstood as being in the sale and distribution part of the cannabis industry. This could lead banks, regulators and others to mislabel our company. As such our stock could suffer if investors are unable to deposit their shares with a broker dealer and have those share clear.

11

Our business is dependent on continuing relationships with clients and strategic partners.

Our business requires developing and maintaining strategic alliances with contractors that undertake turnkey contracts for infrastructure development projects and with government organizations.  The business and our results could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain continuing relationships and pre-qualified status with key clients and strategic partners.

Currency fluctuations may reduce our assets and profitability.

We have assets located in foreign countries that are valued in foreign currencies.  Fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currency may adversely affect our assets and profit.

Our business relies heavily on our management team and any unexpected loss of key officers may adversely affect our operations.

The continued success of our business is largely dependent on the continued services of our key employees.  The loss of the services of certain key personnel, without adequate replacement, could have an adverse effect on our performance.  Our senior management, as well as the senior management of our subsidiaries, plays a significant role in developing and executing the overall business plan, maintaining client relationships, proprietary processes and technology.  While no one is irreplaceable, the loss of the services of any would be disruptive to our business.

 Our quarterly revenue, operating results and profitability will vary.

Factors that may contribute to the variability of quarterly revenue, operating results or profitability include:

· Fluctuations in revenue due to seasonality of the market place, which results in uneven revenue and operating results over the year;

· Additions and departures of key personnel; and

· Strategic decisions made by us and our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestitures, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments and changes in business strategy.

We may not successfully register the provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office

We have filed six provisional patents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), in the combination therapy space, for the indications of pain, medical refractory epilepsy, eating disorders, and cachexia as part of our intellectual property strategy focused on the phytocannabinoid-based health care industry. There is no guarantee that our applications will result in a successful registration with the USPTO. If we are unsuccessful in registering patents, our ability to create a valuable line of products can be adversely affected. This in turn may have a material and adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

Future sales of common stock by us could cause our stock price to decline and dilute your ownership in our company.

There are currently 11,656,668 outstanding public warrants to purchase 1,165, 667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $50.00 a share. In addition, we have outstanding 831,768 private warrants to buy 83,176 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.0, expiring on December 8, 2017.  We also have outstanding 160,000 private options, expiring on October 31, 2023, with an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or preferred stock or any substantially similar securities.  The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock by us in the market or the perception that such sales could occur.  If we raise funds by issuing additional securities in the future or the outstanding warrants or stock options to purchase our common stock are exercised, the newly-issued shares will also dilute your percentage ownership in our company.

12

The market price for our common stock may be volatile.

The trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur.  Fluctuations in our stock price may not be correlated in a predictable way to our performance or operating results.  Our stock price may fluctuate as a result of a number of events and factors such as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, events described in this report, and other factors that are beyond our control.  In addition, the stock market, in general, has historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations.  Our common stock has also been volatile, with our 52-week price range being at a low of $0.19 and a high of $0.80 per share. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause declines in the market price of our common stock. In addition, it is possible, given our current trading price, that we may fail to comply with the minimum trading price required to trade our shares on the NYSE Market.

Our publicly-filed reports are subject to review by the SEC, and any significant changes or amendments required as a result of any such review may result in material liability to us and may have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements, and the SEC is required to undertake a comprehensive review of a company’s reports at least once every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  SEC reviews may be initiated at any time.  We could be required to modify, amend or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review, as well as state in filings that we have inadequate control or expertise over financial reporting.  Any modification, amendment or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material and adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our common stock.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the near future.  Our current policy is to retain all funds and earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.  In addition, the terms of our debt agreement prohibit the payment of cash dividends or other distributions on any of our capital stock except dividends payable in additional shares of capital stock.

Maryland anti-takeover provisions and certain anti-takeover effects of our Charter and Bylaws may inhibit a takeover at a premium price that may be beneficial to our stockholders.

Maryland anti-takeover provisions and certain anti-takeover effects of our charter and bylaws may be utilized, under some circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company at a premium price that would be beneficial to our stockholders.  For more detailed information about these provisions, please see “Anti-takeover Law, Limitations of Liability and Indemnification” as following.

Business Combinations.  Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, some business combinations, including a merger, consolidation, share exchange or, in some circumstances, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities, are prohibited for a period of time and require an extraordinary vote. These transactions include those between a Maryland corporation and the following persons (a “Specified Person”):

·   an interested stockholder, which is defined as any person (other than a subsidiary) who beneficially owns 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or who is an affiliate or an associate of the corporation who, at any time within a two-year period prior to the transaction, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation’s voting stock; or

·   an affiliate of an interested stockholder. 

A person is not an interested stockholder if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which the person otherwise would have become an interested stockholder.  The board of directors of a Maryland corporation also may exempt a person from these business combination restrictions prior to the time the person becomes a Specified Person and may provide that its exemption be subject to compliance with any terms and conditions determined by the board of directors. Transactions between a corporation and a Specified Person are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which such stockholder becomes a Specified Person. After five years, any business combination must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares other than voting stock held by the Specified Person with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless the corporation’s stockholders receive a minimum price as defined by Maryland law and other conditions under Maryland law are satisfied. 

13

A Maryland corporation may elect not to be governed by these provisions by having its board of directors exempt various Specified Persons, by including a provision in its charter expressly electing not to be governed by the applicable provision of Maryland law or by amending its existing charter with the approval of at least 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation and two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of shares other than those held by any Specified Person. Our Charter does not include any provision opting out of these business combination provisions.

Control Share Acquisitions.  The Maryland General Corporation Law also prevents, subject to exceptions, an acquirer who acquires sufficient shares to exercise specified percentages of voting power of a corporation from having any voting rights except to the extent approved by two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter not including shares of stock owned by the acquiring person, any directors who are employees of the corporation and any officers of the corporation. These provisions are referred to as the control share acquisition statute.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted prior to the acquisition by a provision contained in the corporation’s charter or bylaws. Our Bylaws include a provision exempting us from the restrictions of the control share acquisition statute, but this provision could be amended or rescinded either before or after a person acquired control shares. As a result, the control share acquisition statute could discourage offers to acquire our common stock and could increase the difficulty of completing an offer.

Board of Directors. The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a Maryland corporation which is subject to the Exchange Act and has at least three outside directors (who are not affiliated with an acquirer of the company) under certain circumstances may elect by resolution of the board of directors or by amendment of its charter or bylaws to be subject to statutory corporate governance provisions that may be inconsistent with the corporation’s charter and bylaws. Under these provisions, a board of directors may divide itself into three separate classes without the vote of stockholders such that only one-third of the directors are elected each year. A board of directors classified in this manner cannot be altered by amendment to the charter of the corporation. Further, the board of directors may, by electing to be covered by the applicable statutory provisions and notwithstanding the corporation’s charter or bylaws: 

·   provide that a special meeting of stockholders will be called only at the request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, 

·   reserve for itself the right to fix the number of directors,

·   provide that a director may be removed only by the vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors, and

·   retain for itself sole authority to fill vacancies created by an increase in the size of the board or the death, removal or resignation of a director.

In addition, a director elected to fill a vacancy under these provisions serves for the balance of the unexpired term instead of until the next annual meeting of stockholders.  A board of directors may implement all or any of these provisions without amending the charter or bylaws and without stockholder approval.  Although a corporation may be prohibited by its charter or by resolution of its board of directors from electing any of the provisions of the statute, we have not adopted such a prohibition.  We have adopted a staggered board of directors with three separate classes in our charter and given the board the right to fix the number of directors, but we have not prohibited the amendment of these provisions.  The adoption of the staggered board may discourage offers to acquire our common stock and may increase the difficulty of completing an offer to acquire our stock.  If our Board chose to implement the statutory provisions, it could further discourage offers to acquire our common stock and could further increase the difficulty of completing an offer to acquire our common stock.

Effect of Certain Provisions of our Charter and Bylaws.  In addition to the Charter and Bylaws provisions discussed above, certain other provisions of our Bylaws may have the effect of impeding the acquisition of control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy fight, open market purchases or otherwise in a transaction not approved by our Board of Directors. These provisions of Bylaws are intended to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an unsolicited takeover attempt, which our Board believes is otherwise unfair to our stockholders. These provisions, however, also could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

14

Our Bylaws provide that with respect to annual meetings of stockholders, (i) nominations of individuals for election to our Board of Directors and (ii) the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only pursuant to our notice of the meeting, by or at the direction of our Board of Directors, or by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws.

Special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer, the board of directors or the secretary of our company (upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote).  At a special meeting of stockholders, the only business that may be conducted is the business specified in our notice of meeting.  With respect to nominations of persons for election to our Board of Directors, nominations may be made at a special meeting of stockholders only pursuant to our notice of meeting, by or at the direction of our Board of Directors, or if our Board of Directors has determined that directors will be elected at the special meeting, by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws.

These procedures may limit the ability of stockholders to bring business before a stockholders meeting, including the nomination of directors and the consideration of any transaction that could result in a change in control and that may result in a premium to our stockholders.

Risk Related to Our Securities

Our accounting personnel may make unintentional errors.

For most of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, our accounting personnel were located in China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and the United States, primarily near our businesses.   As at March 31, 2017, our accounting personnel are in India, Malaysia, and the U.S.  Even a small mistake, given our small size, in the preparation of financial statements and the maintenance of our books and records in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and SEC rules and regulations, could constitute a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting unless rectified. For more information, please see Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures.”

We incur costs as a result of operating as a public company.  Our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.  Because we report in U.S. GAAP, we may experience delays in closing our books and records, and delays in the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures.

As part of a public company with operations in foreign countries, we experience increased legal, accounting and other expenses.  Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. We do not foresee a problem other than delays in the preparations of financial statements and related disclosures and our liberal use of the routine extensions for filing deadlines automatically granted by the SEC.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND IMPORTANT FACTORS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements.  This report and the documents incorporated in this report by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Additionally, we or our representatives may, from time to time, make other written or verbal forward-looking statements.  In this report and the documents incorporated by reference, we discuss plans, expectations and objectives regarding our business, financial condition and results of operations.  Without limiting the foregoing, statements that are in the future tense, and all statements accompanied by terms such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “trend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “assume,” “intend,” “plan,” “target,” “anticipate,” “outlook,” “preliminary,” “will likely result,” “will continue” and variations of them and similar terms are intended to be “forward-looking statements” as defined by federal securities laws.  We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based upon assumptions, expectations, plans and projections.  Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” included in this report and in the documents incorporated by reference that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when they are made.  Except as required by federal securities law, we do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements.  We intend that all forward-looking statements made will be subject to safe harbor protection of the federal securities laws pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

15

Forward-looking statements are based upon, among other things, our assumptions with respect to:

· our ability to successfully register patents, create and market new products and services, including but not limited to real estate in Malaysia, leasing products in India, and achieve customer acceptance in the industries we serve;

· our ability to accurately predict the future demand for our products and services;

· competition in using phytocannabinoids for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical therapies;

· federal and state legislation and administrative policy regulating phytocannabinoids;

· our ability (based in part on regulatory concerns) to build and or lease facilities for vertical farming that can eventually be used by us to produce pharmaceutical grade phytocannabinoids;

· our ability to obtain and protect patents for the use of phytocannabinoids;

· current and future economic and political conditions, in specifically but not limited to North America, Malaysia, and India; and

· other assumptions described in this prospectus supplement underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.

You should consider the limitations on, and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not unduly rely on the accuracy of predictions contained in such forward-looking statements.  As noted above, these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date when they are made.  Moreover, in the future, we may make forward-looking statements through our senior management that involve the risk factors and other matters described in this report, as well as other risk factors subsequently identified, including, among others, those identified in our filings with the SEC in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K.

Item 1B.                Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2.                   Properties

Our offices are located in Maryland and Washington State. Our back office is located at TBL’s headquarters in Kochi, India. In addition, we have an office in Nagpur, India.  IGC International was located in Hong Kong. PRC Ironman was in Linxi, Inner Mongolia, PRC.  Cabaran Ultima is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

We pay an affiliate of our CEO $4,500 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services rendered in Maryland.  In addition, we pay another affiliate of our CEO $6,100 per month for office and facilities in Washington State.  We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and Washington State that the fee charged by the affiliates are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party and these payments are not considered or meant to be compensation.  The rental agreement for the Maryland location is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by our Board of Directors of the Company at any time without notice. The rental agreement for Washington State facilities expires on December 31, 2017, unless renewed by mutual consent.  During fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the total rent paid to the affiliates were $54,000 for the office space (and services) in Maryland, and $73,200 for the facilities in Washington State. We expect that these expenses will remain at approximately this level during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

In India we have real estate that we may develop. However, we are not involved in real estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities. In fiscal 2017, our company operated through its subsidiaries in India, Hong Kong and Malaysia. In India and in the U.S. we lease housing (apartments, and homes) to host staff members for an aggregate annual rental of $17,000.

In fiscal 2017, in India we were involved in renting heavy machinery. Our subsidiary IGC-MPL owns an office space of about 1,500 sq. feet. The office space was acquired in 2010 is located in Nagpur, India, and has an approximate gross value of $53,971.  Our subsidiary TBL has an apartment located in Cochin, India with an approximate gross value of $64,765.

PRC Ironman owned three beneficiation plants in Linxi, Inner Mongolia. The beneficiation plants consisted of buildings with a gross value of $1,003,000, plant and equipment with gross value of $4,993,000 and construction in progress with a gross value of $4,027,000 along with other assets such as office equipment, furniture, fixtures, computer equipment and vehicles. These plants have the capacity to beneficiate low-grade iron ore. These plants were not operational in the FYE 2016 or in FYE 2017.

Item 6.                   Selected Financial Data

Item 6 does not apply to us because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 7.                   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this report.  Except for the historical information contained in this report, the discussion in this section contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions as of the date of this filing.  The cautionary statements made in this report should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report.  The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.  Factors that could cause differences include those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section, as well as discussed elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  These items are regularly monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future.  These estimates include, among others, our revenue recognition policies related to the proportional performance and percentage of completion methodologies of revenue recognition of contracts and assessing our goodwill for impairment annually.  Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.  We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results will differ and may differ materially from the estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Our significant accounting policies are presented in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and the following summaries should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report.  While all accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed as critical.  Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates.  Our management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition, accounting for stock-based compensation, goodwill, and income taxes.

19

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the revenue recognized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries, when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. 

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract.

For the sale of goods, the timing of the transfer of substantial risks and rewards of ownership is based on the contract terms negotiated with the buyer, e.g., FOB or CIF.  We consider the guidance provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 in determining revenue from sales of goods.  Considerations have been given to all four conditions for revenue recognition under that guidance.  The four conditions are:

· Contract – Persuasive evidence of our arrangement with the customers;

· Delivery – Based on the terms of the contracts, the Company assesses whether the underlying goods have been delivered and therefore the risks and rewards of ownership are completely transferred;

· Fixed or determinable price – The Company enters into contracts where the price for the goods being sold is fixed and not contingent upon other factors.

· Collection is deemed probable – At the time of recognition of revenue, the Company makes an assessment of its ability to collect the receivable arising on the sale of the goods and determines that collection is probable.

Revenue for any sale is recognized only if all of the four conditions set forth above are met.  The Company assesses these criteria at the time of each sale.  In the absence of meeting any of the criteria set out above, the Company defers revenue recognition until all of the four conditions are met.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:

(a)           Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.

(b)           Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method and the percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost.  Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete, and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable.

·   In many of the fixed price contracts entered into by the Company, significant expenses are incurred in the mobilization stage in the early stages of the contract.  The expenses include those that are incurred in the transportation of machinery, erection of heavy machinery, clearing of the campsite, workshop ground cost, overheads, etc.  All such costs are booked to deferred expenses and written off over the period in proportion to revenues earned.

·   Where the modifications of the original contract are such that they effectively add to the existing scope of the contract, the same are treated as a change orders.  On the other hand, where the modifications are such that they change or add an altogether new scope, these are accounted for as a separate new contract.  The Company adjusts contract revenue and costs in connection with change orders only when both, the customer and the Company with respect to both the scope and invoicing and payment terms, approve them. 

·   In the event of claims in our percentage of completion contracts, the additional contract revenue relating to claims is only accounted after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority.  The contract claims are considered in the percentage of completion only after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority. 

Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.

Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.

20

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of our share of net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is disclosed separately.  Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses incurred, if any.

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Company defines as each subsidiary.  ASC 350 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets upon adoption, but requires that they be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as warranted, at the reporting unit level.

Pursuant to ASC 350-20-35-4 through 35-19, the impairment testing of goodwill is a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed.

In ASC 350.20.20, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment.  A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.  The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment.  While the CEO reviews the consolidated financial information for the purposes of decisions relating to resource allocation, the CFO, on a need basis, looks at the financial statements of the individual legal entities in India for the limited purpose of consolidation.  Given the existence of discrete financial statements at an individual entity level in India, the Company believes that each of these entities constitute a separate reporting unit under a single operating segment.

Therefore, the first step in the impairment testing for goodwill is the identification of reporting units and the allocation of goodwill to these reporting units.  Accordingly, Cabaran Ultima, which is a legal entity in Malaysia, is considered separate reporting unit and therefore the Company believes that the assessment of goodwill impairment at the subsidiaries level, which is also a reporting unit each, is appropriate.

 The analysis of fair value is based on the estimate of the recoverable value of the underlying assets.  For long-lived assets such as land, the Company obtains appraisals from independent professional appraisers to determine the recoverable value.  For other assets such as receivables, the recoverable value is determined based on an assessment of the collectability and any potential losses due to default by the counter parties.  Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established and recorded when management determines that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized and therefore, it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

21

In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position.  If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company’s financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, it is more likely that the company will not recognize tax benefits related to accumulating net operating losses.

The issuance by IGC of its common stock to (1) Ironman stockholders in exchange for Ironman stock; to (2) Golden Gate Electronics Ltd (“GG”) in exchange for GG stock; to (3) Apogee Financial in exchange for Midtown Partners stock; to Cabaran Ultima (“Ultima”) in exchange for Ultima’s stock; and to Brilliant Hallmark Sdn. Bhd. (“Brilliant”) in exchange for 10% of the stake in a luxury hotel development project in Genting Highlands, Malaysia, as contemplated by the respective stock purchase agreements between the Company and Ironman and their stockholders; between the Company and Golden Gate Electronics Ltd and its stockholders; between the Company and Apogee Financial and their stockholders; between the Company and Cabaran Ultima and its stockholders; and between the Company and Brilliant and its stockholders, generally will not be taxable transactions to U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  It is expected that IGC and its stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss because of the approval of the shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Inventories

We provide for inventory obsolescence, excess inventory and inventories with carrying values in excess of market values based on our assessment of the future demands, market conditions and our specific inventory management procedures.  If market conditions and actual demands are less favorable than our estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required.  In all cases inventory is carried at the lower of historical cost or market value.

Accounts receivable

We make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, and current economic trends.  If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.

Regarding our collection policy on electronics trading receivables, there were three types of trades: (1) payment guaranteed through letters of credit, (2) deposit or spot payment on delivery or (3) delivery on credit. With the first type of trade: our policy for collection was to ask the customer to open a letter of credit with a bank. The typical terms of the letter of credit were that 100% of the payment was made when the material was shipped. With the second type of trade, customers paid on delivery.  On the third type of trade, our policy was to allow the customer to have a payment credit term of 90 days.

Impairment of investment

The impairment analysis test is done based on a similar recoverable approach as used in the impairment test for goodwill described above.  The fair value of real estate is determined based on an independent appraisal. The estimated amount of liability is based on the information available with us with respect of bank debt and other borrowings.  In 1995, IGC’s subsidiary TBL made an investment of $50,000 (INR 3,000,000) in Bhagheeratha Developers Limited. Based on the latest review of the balance sheet of this entity, we impaired this investment by $410 in FYE 2017, for a cumulative impairment of $20,347.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable.  Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information, impact of change in government policies, etc.  For assets that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets.  For assets, the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets.  Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows.

22

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (DVA) when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. The company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements.

Revenue– Total revenue was about $580,372 ($367,279 without IGC-INT) for the FYE 2017, as compared to about $6,366,550 for the FYE 2016, a decrease of about 91%. In Fiscal year 2016 our main revenue driver was electronic component trading.  In fiscal 2017, IGC-INT was effectively transferred back to the managing director in return for all of the 205,661 IGC common shares that were initially awarded as part of the acquisition.  For most of FYE 2017 the source of revenue is from the real estate business in Cabaran Ultima and the renting of heavy equipment in TBL. This is part of our overall strategy of focusing on developing and bringing to market phytocannabinoid based therapies.

Cost of Revenue– Cost of revenue was $362,135 in FYE 2017 as compared to $5,523,256 in FYE 2016. The cost of revenue as a percentage of the revenue was approximately 62% in fiscal 2017 as compared to 87% during fiscal 2016.  In Fiscal 2016 our main cost driver was electronic component trading and as previously disclosed this business was curtailed on July 1, 2016 reducing the cost of revenue in FYE 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses – These consist primarily of employee related expenses, professional fees, other corporate expenses, allocated overhead and provisions, and write offs relating to doubtful and bad debts and advances. Selling, general and administrative expenses were about $1,875,344 for fiscal 2017 as compared to about $2,702,753 for fiscal 2016.  The overall SG&A for fiscal 2017 also includes (i) non-cash charges associated with ESOP and other share issuances; (ii) one-time expenses associated with raising capital, and expenses associated with the acquisition of 10% stake in Brilliant Hallmark; and (iii) some non-cash R&D expenses associated with the development of phytocannabinoid therapies. Adjusted for these events, the SG&A for fiscal 2017 reflects a steep cut in expenses associated with a further alignment of resources to focus on phytocannabinoid therapies.

Depreciation and amortization– The depreciation and amortization expense was about $396,346 in 2017 as compared to about $728,741 in fiscal year 2016.  The steep fall in depreciation expenses for fiscal 2017 is due to our exit from the Ironman business in China, which represented most of the depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2016.

Operating income (loss)– Loss from operations was about ($2,054,385) in fiscal year 2017, as compared to a loss of about ($2,905,710) in fiscal year 2016.

Interest and other financial expense – The interest expense for fiscal 2017 is about $223,464 as compared to about $213,928 for fiscal 2016.  The payment of monthly interest is made through the issuance of a fixed number of shares of our common stock, regardless of the price of the stock.  Most of the interest expense is non-cash. 

Interest income – The interest income for fiscal 2017 was about $1,744 as compared to about $2,085 for fiscal 2016.

Other income – In fiscal year 2017, we reported $119,933 in other income, and about $284,186 in other income in fiscal year 2016.

Profit from Investment/Associates/Joint Ventures- In fiscal year 2017, we had a one-time gain of $227,472 from exiting Ironman, and a one-time loss of ($109,430) from exiting IGC International, and a gain of $199,700 from our 24.9% investment in Midtown Partners LLC. 

Deferred Income tax credit – We had an income tax credit of zero dollars for the year ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the credit of about $356,684 for the year ended March 31, 2016. The income tax credit in fiscal 2017 is not shown on the financial statements, but remains with the Company for a potential offset against future earnings.  Deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowances, are expected to be realized through future taxable income.  The valuation allowance increased in 2017 by about $700,000.  The company intends to maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of the valuation allowance. 

Net loss – The Company had a loss of about ($1,867,260) for fiscal year 2017 as compared to a loss of about ($2,808,244) for fiscal year 2016.  The lower loss in fiscal 2017 is from lower SG&A expenses, other income, and lower depreciation.

Balance sheet

Accounts receivable – Our accounts receivable for fiscal 2017 are about $752,926 and for fiscal 2016 was about $962,658. The accounts receivable in fiscal 2017 decreased as our revenue decreased. The primary component of the accounts receivable in fiscal 2017 are receivables from the real estate business in Malaysia, and from a construction claim in the amount of about $470 thousand that has been awarded to our subsidiary in India. In FYE 2017 we collected $59,693 (INR 4 million) from a construction delay claim that we had filed against Kerala Public Works. We expect to collect the award in the next 12 months.

Inventory –  In FYE 2017, our inventory was zero and in FYE 2016 was about $162,091.  IGC International is the only business with inventory and as disclosed we no longer operate this business.

Property, plant and equipment, net - As of FYE 2017, our PP&E net of depreciation is about $953,936 and, at FYE 2016 was about $7,074,437.  Our exit of the Ironman business contributed to a decrease of about $6.1 million in PP&E.

24

Investment others – In fiscal year 2017, our investment was about $5,238,003 and at FYE 2016 it was about $5,175,392.

Investment in affiliates –  In fiscal year 2017, our investment in affiliates was about $773,111 and at FYE 2016 it was about $609,148.  Part of the increase in investment in affiliates, $199,700 comes from our investment in Midtown Partners, LLC.

Intangible assets and goodwill – The value of intangible assets as of FYE 2017 amounted to about $198,169 as compared to about $1,294,272 as of FYE 2016.  The removal of IGC International and H&F ironman contributed to the decrease in Intangible assets and goodwill.

Liabilities – The total liability as of FYE 2017 is about $3,934,017 as compared to $4,911,111 as of the FYE 2016, a decrease of about $977,094.  In Fiscal year 2017, the Company decreased the amount of loans outstanding.

Working Capital – Our working capital as of FYE 2017 is about $2,291,652.

Non-controlling interest – The non-controlling interest of - $8,836 in fiscal 2017 is attributed to our ownership of Cabaran Ultima, which holds subsidiaries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

This liquidity and capital resources discussion compares the consolidated company results for the FYE 2017 and FYE 2016.  At the end of fiscal year 2017, the Company has about $538,029 in cash and cash equivalents. In fiscal 2017, the non-GAAP total cash burn after adjusting for non-cash items that include ESOPs, interest payments paid in stock, foreign exchange losses, and one-time acquisition related expenses and other miscellaneous non-cash items is about $1,374,129.  The cash burn is primarily associated with public company expenses, with our operating subsidiaries at breakeven, or near breakeven. It does not include cash spent on investments or construction in progress.

The Company has adequate cash on hand to meet its obligations, however in order to expand the business into some of the areas that have been discussed, the Company will raise capital. We have put in place an At-the-Market (ATM) and a Form S-3 that allows us to raise capital opportunistically and at our discretion based on liquidity and stock price. To the extent that we believe that raising capital for general corporate purposes is prudent, we have the option of using the ATM and the bank lines. 

The balance of cash and cash equivalents held by of our foreign subsidiaries as of fiscal 2017 and 2016 are shown below.

Fiscal Year Ended	Total Cash held by foreign subsidiaries
March 31, 2017	$	465,978
March 31, 2016	$	611,831

We intend to repatriate cash from our subsidiaries. Repatriation of funds from India requires obtaining clearances from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).  This process can take several months to complete.  We have compiled all the necessary information for the application, including obtaining the Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates (FIRC) from all our banks, for all our Indian subsidiaries, and initiated the process of applying to the RBI for permission.  We are seeking advice from Indian Foreign Exchange Experts to help with the process.  Once we obtain the clearances from the RBI, repatriating funds from India will become significantly easier. There are no taxes or legal charges to be paid in connection with the repatriation of cash balances. In the future, we may have to accrue and pay taxes in the United States, if foreign profits are repatriated.

The Company currently has notes payable of $1.8 million. There is no cash interest payable on the loan. The loan was due on July 31, 2016, and the parties have agreed that the Company will pay 30,000 shares of common stock per month as interest, beginning August 1, 2016, and ask the shareholders as soon as practical to allow the Company to pay the note using common stock.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements 

We do not have any investments in special purpose entities or undisclosed borrowings or debt.

Item 7A.                Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks.  Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market-driven rates or prices.  The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather, indicators of reasonably possible losses.  This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

Customer Risk

In fiscal 2017, we received over 42% of our revenue from one customer located in Malaysia. The loss of this significant client may have a short-term adverse effect on the Company. In India, the Company’s customers are construction and agricultural companies.  In fiscal 2016 in China the Company’s customers were the steel mills and iron ore traders and in Hong Kong, the Company’s customers were companies that build electronic products.   

Commodity Prices and Vendor Risk

In fiscal 2016, the Company was affected by the availability, cost and quality of electronic components.  These prices and supply depended on factors beyond the control of the Company, including general economic conditions and competition.  The Company typically kept inventory of high demand components. We did not hedge pricing and did not have forward contracts, which may expose the Company to risks related to falling prices. However, as a precaution, we kept inventory turnover fairly fast and diversified to mitigate this risk. 

Labor Risk

We see limited labor risk in India, Malaysia or the United States.  None of our work force is unionized.

Compliance, Legal and Operational Risks

We operate under regulatory and legal obligations imposed by the Hong Kong, Indian, Chinese and Malaysian governments and U.S. securities regulators.  Those obligations relate to, among other things, our financial reporting, trading activities, capital requirements and the supervision of its employees. Failure to fulfill legal or regulatory obligations can lead to fines, censure or disqualification of management and/or staff and other measures that could have negative consequences for our activities and financial performance.  We mitigate this risk by hiring local consultants and staff who manage compliance in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.  However, the cost of compliance in various jurisdictions could have a negative impact on our future earnings.

Interest Rate Risk

We depend on leverage for most of our business.  As interest rates rise, our cost of capital is expected to increase and that may impact our profitability.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

Our subsidiary in Hong Kong, IGC International Ltd., conducted all business in Hong Kong dollars (HKD).  Our Indian subsidiaries conduct all business in Indian rupees (INR) with the exception of foreign equipment that is purchased from the United States or Europe. Our Chinese subsidiary, PRC Ironman, conducted all business in renminbi (RMB). Our Malay subsidiary, Cabaran Ultima, conducts all business in ringgit (RM). Exchange rates have an insignificant impact on our financial results. However, as we convert from Hong Kong dollars, Indian rupees, renminbi, and ringgit to U.S. dollars and subsequently report in U.S. dollars, we may see an impact on translated revenue and earnings. Essentially, a stronger U.S. dollar decreases our reported earnings and a weakening U.S. dollar increases our reported earnings. We have loans in U.S. dollars and in foreign currencies.

26

In the analysis below, we compared the reported revenue and expense for fiscal year 2017 based on the average exchange rate used for fiscal year 2016 to highlight the impact of exchange rate changes on IGC’s revenue and expenses.

	As of March 31, 2017
	Current Exchange			Previous Exchange						Percentage
	Rate			Rate			Change			change
Total Income	$	1,019,791		$	1,032,285			(12,494	)		-1.23	%
Total expenses before Taxes	$	(2,858,221	)	$	(2,890,453	)		32,232			-1.13	%
Net	$	(1,838,430	)	$	(1,858,168	)		19,738

Foreign Currency Translation

IGC operates in India, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in INR, HKD, RMB and RM, as of those respective operations. As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and INR, HKD, RMB or the RM affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The INR, HKD, RMB and the RM are the functional currencies for the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as follows:

Year	Month end Average Rate (P&L rate)	Year-end rate (Balance sheet rate)
2012-13	INR 54.357/RMB 6.28/HKD 7.77 per USD	INR 54.52/RMB 6.21/HKD 7.76 per USD
2013-14	INR 60.35/RMB 6.21/HKD 7.76 per USD	INR 60.00/RMB 6.22 /HKD 7.76 per USD
2014-15	INR 61.11/RMB 6.21/HKD 7.80 per USD	INR 62.31 /RMB 6.20/HKD 7.80 per USD
2015-16	INR 65.39/RMB 6.32/HKD 7.76/RM 4.11 per USD	INR 66.25/RMB 6.44/HKD 7.76/ RM 3.90 per USD
2016-17	INR 67.01/RMB 6.69 /HKD 7.76/RM 4.20 per USD	INR 64.85 /RMB 6.95 /HKD 7.77 / RM 4.42 per USD

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of India Globalization Capital, Inc. and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of India Globalization Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in two-year period ended March 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As at April 1, 2016 our operational subsidiaries were in China, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia.  As at March 31, 2017 our operational subsidiaries are in India and Malaysia.

In October 2014, pursuant to a Memorandum of Settlement with Sricon, one of our Indian subsidiaries, and related parties and in exchange for the 22% minority interest we had in Sricon, we received approximately five acres of prime land in Nagpur, India. The land is located a few miles from MIHAN, which is the largest development zone in terms of investment in India. The Company beneficially registered the land in its name on March 4, 2016.

On December 30, 2011, IGC acquired a 95% equity interest in Linxi HeFei Economic and Trade Co., aka Linxi H&F Economic and Trade Co., a People’s Republic of China-based company (“PRC Ironman”) by acquiring 100% of the equity of H&F Ironman Limited, a Hong Kong company (“HK Ironman”).  Collectively, PRC Ironman and HK Ironman are referred to as “Ironman.”  PRC Ironman is engaged in the processing of iron ore at its beneficiation plant on 2.2 square kilometers of hills in southwest Linxi in the autonomous region of eastern Inner Mongolia, under the administration of Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, which is located 250 miles from Beijing, 185 miles from Tianjin Port and 125 miles from Jinzhou Port and well connected by roads, planes and railroad.

On February 2, 2015, IGC filed a lawsuit in the circuit court of Maryland, against 24 defendants related to the acquisition of Ironman, seeking to have the court order rescission of the underlying Acquisition Agreement and to void any past or future transfer of IGC shares to the defendants.  As of March 31, 2017, IGC has redeemed and subsequently retired, as required by Maryland State law, part of the 3,150,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with its purchase of Ironman, as a treasury stock transaction, thus reducing IGC’s investment in Ironman to zero while still pursuing any and all legal avenues to recover as many of the originally issued shares as possible.

In January 2013, we incorporated IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited (“IGC-HK”), whose name we later changed to IGC Cleantech Ltd (“IGC-CT”).  Please see Note 25 Subsequent Events for an update.

On May 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Golden Gate Electronics Limited, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong and now known as IGC International (“IGC-INT”).  IGC-INT, headquartered in Hong Kong, operates an e-commerce platform for trading of commodities and electronic components.  The purchase price of the acquisition consisted of up to 1,209,765 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $1,052,496 on the closing date of the acquisition. As previously announced we curtailed activity in IGC-INT and since the quarter ended June 30, 2016 we have no revenue. We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition.  As of March 31, 2017, we exited the business. We retired 205,661 shares of common stock, and returned control of IGC International to the original owners.  We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition. We have no disputes with the initial principals of Golden Gate.

On June 27, 2014, we entered into an agreement with TerraSphere Systems, LLC to develop multiple facilities to produce organic leafy green vegetables utilizing TerraSphere’s advanced pesticide-free organic indoor farming technology.  Under the agreement, we will own 51% of each venture once production is operational, and will have a right of first refusal to participate in all future build-outs.  In fiscal 2018, we expect to convert this investment into shares of a public Canadian company where assets including this project is being merged.

On December 18, 2014, we acquired 24.9% of the outstanding membership interests in Midtown Partners, a Florida limited liability company registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from Apogee Financial Investments, Inc.  The Purchase Agreement expired on June 30, 2015, and the Company is pursuing its rights under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to recover certain damages.

Bhd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Ultima”), from RGF Land Sdn. Bhd. (“Land”), the sole shareholder of Ultima, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement among the parties. Ultima holds 51% of RGF Cabaran Sdn. Bhd., which holds 75% of RGF Construction Sdn. Bhd. The purchase price of the acquisition consists of up to 998,571 shares of our common stock, valued at $169,757 on the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement.

In August 2016, we subscribed to 10% of Brilliant Hallmark, Sdn. Bhd. a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Brilliant”).  We paid 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a Fair Market Value of $1.88 million for the 10% stake in Brilliant that holds the exclusive rights to build a hotel and develop the property in Genting Malaysia.  IGC had recourse to the land assets in the event of non-performance through a separate Tag Along Agreement dated August 1, 2016 between IGC on the one hand and RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., the shareholders of RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., and Brilliant on the other hand. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement, Brilliant assigned, sold, and transferred to IGC 11 shares of Brilliant, which shares constituted 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Brilliant.  Likewise, as a consideration for the transaction, IGC issued to Brilliant the 4 million shares of its common stock.  Please see Note 25 Subsequent Events for further information.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)             Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. The financial statements of the parent company and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line by line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances and transactions and resulting unrealized gain or loss. Operating results of companies acquired are included from the dates of acquisition. 

b)             Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements result from the accounting for non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries.  Non-controlling interests represent the subsidiaries’ earnings and components of other comprehensive income that are attributed to the non-controlling parties’ equity interests.  The Company consolidates the subsidiaries into its consolidated financial statements.  Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The non-controlling interest disclosed in the accompanying financial statements for fiscal year 2017 represent the non-controlling interest in Cabaran Ultima’s subsidiaries and the profits or losses associated with the non-controlling interest in those operations.

The adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-65 “Consolidation — Transition and Open Effective Date Information” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”), has resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest (now referred to as non-controlling interest) to a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).  Additionally, net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown separately from net income in the consolidated statements of income.  This reclassification had no effect on our previously reported financial position or results of operations.

F-11

c)             Reclassifications 

We are reclassifying $2,192,226 loans from current liability to non-current liability, as management does not expect to pay these loans back within 12 months.

d)             Use of estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; future obligations under employee benefit plans; the useful lives of property, plant, equipment; intangible assets; the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination; impairment of goodwill and investments; recoverability of advances; the valuation of options granted and warrants issued; and income tax and deferred tax valuation allowances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.  Critical accounting estimates could change from period to period and could have a material impact on IGC’s results, operations, financial position and cash flows. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

e)             Revenue Recognition 

The majority of the revenue recognized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries, when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract. 

For the sale of goods, the timing of the transfer of substantial risks and rewards of ownership is based on the contract terms negotiated with the buyer, e.g., FOB or CIF.  We consider the guidance provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 in determining revenue from sales of goods.  Considerations have been given to all four conditions for revenue recognition under that guidance.  The four conditions are:

- Contract – Persuasive evidence of our arrangement with the customers;

- Delivery – Based on the terms of the contracts, the Company assesses whether the underlying goods have been delivered and therefore the risks and rewards of ownership are completely transferred;

- Fixed or determinable price – The Company enters into contracts where the price for the goods being sold is fixed and not contingent upon other factors.

- Collection is deemed probable – At the time of recognition of revenue, the Company makes an assessment of its ability to collect the receivable arising on the sale of the goods and determines that collection is probable.

Revenue for any sale is recognized only if all of the four conditions set forth above are met.  The Company assesses these criteria at the time of each sale.  In the absence of meeting any of the criteria set out above, the Company defers revenue recognition until all of the four conditions are met.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:

(a)           Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.

(b)           Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method and the percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost.  Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete, and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable.

F-12

- In many of the fixed price contracts entered into by the Company, significant expenses are incurred in the mobilization stage in the early stages of the contract.  The expenses include those that are incurred in the transportation of machinery, erection of heavy machinery, clearing of the campsite, workshop ground cost, overheads, etc.  All such costs are booked to deferred expenses and written off over the period in proportion to revenues earned.

- Where the modifications of the original contract are such that they effectively add to the existing scope of the contract, the same are treated as a change orders.  On the other hand, where the modifications are such that they change or add an altogether new scope, these are accounted for as a separate new contract.  The Company adjusts contract revenue and costs in connection with change orders only when both, the customer and the Company with respect to both the scope and invoicing and payment terms, approve them.

- In the event of claims in our percentage of completion contracts, the additional contract revenue relating to claims is only accounted after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority.  The contract claims are considered in the percentage of completion only after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority. 

Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.

Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.

f)              Earnings per common share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution from all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options.

g)             Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established and recorded when management determines that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized and therefore, it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position.  If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company’s financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

The issuance by IGC of its common stock to (1) Ironman stockholders in exchange for Ironman stock; to (2) Golden Gate Electronics Ltd (“GG”) in exchange for GG stock; to (3) Apogee Financial in exchange for a membership interest in Midtown Partners, LLC; to (4) Cabaran Ultima (“Ultima”) in exchange for Ultima’s stock, and to (5) Brilliant Hallmark, as contemplated by the respective stock purchase agreements between the Company and Ironman and their stockholders; between the Company and Golden Gate Electronics Ltd and its stockholders; between the Company and Apogee Financial and their stockholders; and between the Company and Cabaran Ultima and its stockholders, generally will not be taxable transactions to U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  It is expected that IGC and its stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss from these transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

F-13

h)             Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America, Mauritius, India, and Malaysia, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits.  

i)             Left intentionally blank

j)             Foreign currency transactions

IGC operates in India and Malaysia and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in INR, and RM, as of those respective operations. As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and INR or the RM affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The INR, HKD, RMB and the RM are the functional currencies for the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as follows:

		Period End Average Rate				Period End Rate
Period		(P&L rate)				(Balance sheet rate)
Year ended March 31, 2017	INR	67.01	per	USD	INR	64.85	per	USD
	RMB	6.69	per	USD	RMB	6.95	per	USD
	HKD	7.76	per	USD	HKD	7.77	per	USD
	RM	4.20	per	USD	RM	4.42	per	USD
Year ended March 31, 2016	INR	65.39	per	USD	INR	66.25	per	USD
	RMB	6.32	per	USD	RMB	6.44	per	USD
	HKD	7.76	per	USD	HKD	7.76	per	USD
	RM	4.11	per	USD	RM	3.90	per	USD

k)             Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers in the electronics business were recorded at the invoiced amount, taking into consideration any adjustments made for returns.  Also, the Company evaluates the collectability of selected accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis and makes adjustments to the bad debt reserve for expected losses.  For all other accounts, the Company estimates reserves for bad debts based on general aging, experience and past-due status of the accounts. When applicable, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by evaluating the relative credit worthiness of each client, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables.  If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of recoverability would be further adjusted.

Regarding our collection policy on electronics trading receivables, there were three types of trades: (1) payment guaranteed through letters of credit, (2) deposit or spot payment on delivery or (3) delivery on credit. With the first type of trade: our policy for collection is to ask the customer to open a letter of credit with a bank. The typical terms of the letter of credit are that 100% of the payment is made when the material is shipped.  With the second type of trade, customers pay on delivery.  On the third type of trade, our policy is to allow the customer to have a payment credit term of 90 days.

F-14

n)             Investments

Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs.  The Company’s equity in the earnings/(losses) of affiliates is included in the statement of income and the Company’s share of net assets of affiliates is included in the balance sheet.  Where the Company’s ownership interest is in excess of 20% the Company has accounted for the investment based on the equity method, as in the case of Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“MTP”). 

o)             Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E)

Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

Buildings	5-25 years
Plant and machinery	10-20 years
Computer equipment	3-5 years
Office equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years
Vehicles	5-10 years

Upon retirement or disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property and equipment are de-recognized from the books of accounts and the gain or loss is reflected in the results of operation.  Cost of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are capitalized in the books of accounts.  The cost of maintenance and repairs of the property and equipment are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

p)             Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items.

q)             Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash, investments and derivatives in highly rated financial institutions.  The Company adheres to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains credit rating minimums and diversification requirements.  Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk.  The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral.

During this fiscal year, sales were spread across many customers in Hong Kong, China, India and Malaysia, and the credit concentration risk is low.

 t)            Employee Benefits Plan

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories of employees.  The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company.  In addition, all employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan.  The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary.  The contribution is made to the Government’s provident fund.

F-15

At this time, the Company does not participate in a multi-employer defined contribution plan in China to provide employees with certain retirement, medical and other fringe benefits because the Company has exited the business in China.   In the United States, we provide health insurance, life insurance, and 401-K benefits.

u)             Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

v)    Accounting for goodwill and related impairment

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of our share of net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is disclosed separately.  Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses incurred, if any.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Company defines as each subsidiary.  ASC 350 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets upon adoption, but requires that they be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as warranted, at the reporting unit level.

Pursuant to ASC 350-20-35-4 through 35-19, the impairment testing of goodwill is a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed.

In ASC 350.20.20, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment.  A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.  The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment.  While the Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the consolidated financial information for the purposes of decisions relating to resource allocation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on an as-need basis, looks at the financial statements of the individual legal entities in India for the limited purpose of consolidation.  Given the existence of discrete financial statements at an individual entity level in India, the Company believes that each of these entities constitute a separate reporting unit under a single operating segment.

Therefore, the first step in the impairment testing for goodwill is the identification of reporting units and the allocation of goodwill to these reporting units.  Accordingly, Cabaran Ultima, which is the legal entities in Malaysia, is also considered separate reporting units and therefore the Company believes that the assessment of goodwill impairment at the subsidiaries level, which are also a reporting unit each, is appropriate.

The analysis of fair value is based on the estimate of the recoverable value of the underlying assets.  For long-lived assets such as land, the Company obtains appraisals from independent professional appraisers to determine the recoverable value.  For other assets such as receivables, the recoverable value is determined based on an assessment of the collectability and any potential losses due to default by the counter parties.  Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.

F-16

w)             Impairment of long – lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable.  Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information and impact of changes in government policies.  For assets that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets.  For assets the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets.  Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows.

x)        Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (DVA) when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. The company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

NOTE 6 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

For fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2016, the Company had a total of zero and $27,762, respectively, in short-term borrowings.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE AND LOANS - OTHERS

On October 16, 2009, the Company consummated the sale of a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Bricoleur Note”) to Bricoleur Partners, L.P. (‘Bricoleur’). There was no cash interest payable on the Note and the Note had an initial maturity date of October 16, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).  Prior to the Maturity Date, the Company could pre-pay the Bricoleur Note at any time without penalty or premium and the Note was unsecured. The Note was not convertible into the Company’s Common Stock or other securities of the Company. However, under the Note and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Bricoleur Note and Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of October 16, 2009, by and among the Company and Bricoleur, as additional consideration for the investment in the Bricoleur Note, IGC issued 53,000 shares of Common Stock to Bricoleur. In February-March 2011, the Company finalized an agreement with Bricoleur to exchange the loan promissory note issued to Bricoleur on October 16, 2009 (the “Bricoleur Note”) for new a new loan with later maturity dates. The Bricoleur Note was extended to June 30, 2011 with no prior payments due and with no cash interest.  The Company issued additional 68,850 shares of its common stock to Bricoleur in connection with the extension of the term regarding the Bricoleur note.  As reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 9, 2012, the Company and Bricoleur agreed to exchange the 2011 Note for a new note (the “2012 Note”), which bore no cash interest with a new maturity of December 31, 2012.  In consideration for the exchange, the Company issued 30,000 shares of IGC to Bricoleur and issued additional 34,200 shares for February and March 2013 as non-tax-deductible payments that were booked as interest.  Effective March 31, 2013, the Company and Bricoleur Partners, L.P. agreed to amend the outstanding $1,800,000 loan (“2012 Security”), subject to the same terms of the 2012 Agreement, to extend the maturity date of the 2012 Security from July 31, 2014 to July 31, 2016.  Contractually, there is no cash interest paid to Bricoleur on the Note. Instead, the parties have agreed that the Company will make a payment (booked under interest payment) of 30,000 shares of common stock for each month the loan remains unpaid, regardless of the trading price of the stock. The arrangement allows the Company and Bricoleur to pursue permanent conversion of the principal to common stock, or repayment of the principal using common stock.  During the years ended March 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Company issued a total of 205,200, 232,823 305,357 and 333,956 shares each year valued at $270,522, $204,031, $114,678 and $129,816, respectively, to this debt holder, which constitutes non-tax-deductible interest payments for the Company.

The Company’s total interest expense was $223,464 for the year ended March 31, 2017 and $213,928 for the year ended March 31, 2016, respectively.  No interest was capitalized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We pay an affiliate of our CEO $4,500 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services rendered in Maryland.  In addition, we pay another affiliate of our CEO $6,100 per month for office and facilities in Washington State.  We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and Washington State that the fee charged by the affiliates are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party and these payments are not considered, or meant to be compensation to our CEO.  The rental agreement for the Maryland location is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by our Board of Directors of the Company at any time without notice. The rental agreement for Washington State facilities expires on December 31, 2017, unless renewed by mutual consent.  During fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the total rent paid to the affiliates were $54,000 for the office space (and services) in Maryland, and $73,200 for the facilities in Washington State. We expect that these expenses will remain at approximately this level during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

All compensation paid to our CFO, including the 300,000 stock grants, and monthly compensation, are paid to an affiliate of our CFO, specifically a limited liability company (LLC) wholly owned by our CFO.   There are no payments, other than what is mentioned in this filing, that have been made to the CFO directly or to his LLC.  The Company treats payments and issuances of stock made to the LLC as if they are made directly to our CFO.

Loans by Related Parties:

During fiscal 2015 and part of fiscal 2016, the Company had working capital loans with a U.S. commercial bank for $250,000 at a variable interest rate ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%.  These loans are interest only loans that are personally guaranteed and securitized by our CEO.   As of March 31, 2017, these loans have been repaid.

During fiscal 2016, the Company had Hong Kong based banking facilities for $1,038,961 whose principal, interest, and other charges were guaranteed by our CEO and Sunny Tsang, the Managing Director and Founder of IGC International.  As of fiscal year end 2017, IGC and our CEO no longer guarantee these loans because IGC no longer owns IGC International.

 As of March 31, 2017, the Company has a net unpaid balance of $97,105 in compensation to our CEO.

We have a loan of $97,500 from an affiliate of our CEO, at an annual interest rate of zero percent, due February 23, 2022. There is no prepayment penalty.  This loan is shown Loan 5 in Note 7.

NOTE 19 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Accounting pronouncements establish standards for the manner in which public companies report information about operating segments in annual and interim financial statements. Operating segments are component of an enterprise that have distinct financial information available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to decide how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. The Company’s CODM is considered to be the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”). The CEO reviews financial information presented on an entity level basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating and reportable segment.

NOTE 23 – CERTAIN AGED RECEIVABLES

The receivable and other assets as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 include certain aged receivables in the amount of $430,689.  The aged receivables are due from the Cochin International Airport.  Cochin International Airport is partially owned by the State Government of Kerala.  The receivables have been due for periods in excess of one year as of March 31, 2017.  These receivables are included in Accounts Receivable and have been classified as current for the following reasons:

The Company’s subsidiary in India, TBL, worked on the building of an airport runway at the Cochin International Airport. During the execution of these projects the clients of the Company requested several changes to the engineering drawings.  The claims of the Company against each of the clients involve reimbursement of expenses associated with the change orders and variances as well as compensation for delays caused by the client.  The delay part of the claim involves equipment that is idle on the job, including interest or lease charges for the equipment while it is idle, and workers that are idle, among others.  The expense reimbursement involves cost of new material including any escalation in the cost of materials, usage of equipment, personnel and other charges that were incurred as a result of the delays caused by the change orders.  These invoices were disputed by the clients and referred to arbitration. The process of arbitration involves each party choosing an arbitrator and the arbitrators appointing a third chief arbitrator. Each party then presents its case over several months and the arbitrator makes an award.

The receivables occurred and became due when TBL won the arbitration award against Cochin International Airport on July 22, 2009. The arbitration awards stipulate that interest be accrued for the period of non-payment.  However, the receivables do not have an interest component as the Company will try and use the accrued interest as negotiating leverage for an earlier payment. Although the receivables are contractually due, and hence its classification as current, it may take the Company anywhere from the next 30 days to 6 months to actually realize the funds, depending on final verdict to happen in few months.  The Company continues to carry the full value of the receivables without interest and without any impairment, because the Company believes that there is minimal risk that these organizations will become insolvent and unable to make payment.

NOTE 24 – INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES

Pursuant to the December 18, 2014 Purchase Agreement with Apogee, we issued 1,200,000 common shares of IGC valued at $888,000 for the purchase of 24.9% ownership interest in Midtown Partners & Co., LLC. The Purchase Agreement expired on June 30, 2015, and the Company is pursuing its rights under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to recover certain damages. Using the equity method the Company has increased the value of its investment in Midtown Partners.  Please see Note 9- Other Income and Note 12-Related Party Transactions.

NOTE 25 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We acquired a 10% stake in a 1,000-room luxury hotel development project encompassing 6+ acres in Genting Highlands, Malaysia by subscribing to 10% stake in Brilliant Hallmark Sdn. Bhd. (“Brilliant”) free and clear of all encumbrances in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of our common stock.  On April 3, 2017, IGC sold back its ten percent holding in Brilliant Hallmark for a consideration of 4 million shares of IGC’s Common Stock that will be returned and retired, thereby reducing the outstanding IGC shares.  The Brilliant Hallmark investment will, once the IGC shares are retired, be removed from the IGC balance sheet, with an associated reduction of approximately $1,880,000. The Company does not expect to record a gain or loss from this transaction.

In April 2017, we closed a non-operational Hong Kong based subsidiary that we incorporated in January 2013 named IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited (“IGC-HK”), whose name we later changed to IGC Cleantech Ltd (“IGC-CT”).

As reported on Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 2017, IGC acquired exclusive rights to a patent filing, made by the University of South Florida entitled “THC as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer’s Disease.”

Item 9A.               Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and its principal financial and accounting officer (PFAO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and PFAO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and PFAO, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our CEO and PFAO, do not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  These rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

1. pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

2. provide reasonable assurance the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

29

Because of the inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on an assessment carried out between March and July 2017, management believes that, as of March 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors.  Each executive officer holds his office until he resigns or is removed by the Board or his successor is elected and qualified.

All directors hold office until the annual meeting of the stockholders in the year set forth above in the table and until their successors have been duly elected or qualified.

There are no family relationships between any of our executive officers or directors.

Board of Directors; Independence

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes (Class A, Class B and Class C) with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term.  The term of office of the Class A director, consisting of Sudhakar Shenoy, will expire at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.  The term of office of the Class B director, currently consisting of Richard Prins, will expire at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.  The term of office of the Class C director, currently consisting of Ram Mukunda, will expire at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.  These individuals have played a key role in identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating acquisitions.

The NYSE MKT, upon which our shares are listed, requires the majority of our Board to be “independent.”  The NYSE MKT listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer or an employee of the company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.  Consistent with these standards, the Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Prins and Shenoy are independent directors.

32

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee currently composed of two independent directors who report to the Board of Directors.  Messrs. Prins and Shenoy, each of whom is an independent director under the NYSE MKT listing standards, serve as members of our Audit Committee. Mr. Prins is the Chairman of our Audit Committee.  In addition, we have determined that Messrs. Prins and Shenoy are “audit committee financial experts,” as that term is defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Audit Committee is responsible for meeting with our independent accountants regarding, among other issues, audits and the adequacy of our accounting and control systems.

Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee composed of two independent directors, Messrs. Shenoy and Prins.  Mr. Shenoy is the current Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee’s purpose is to review and approve compensation paid to our officers and directors and to administer our 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our Compensation Committee is comprised of two independent members of the Board of Directors, Richard Prins and Sudhakar Shenoy.  No executive officer of the Company served as a director or member of the compensation committee of any other entity.

The Compensation Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 and was responsible for determining executive compensation and the award of stock, and stock options to employees, advisors, and directors during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.  No consultants were used by the Compensation Committee during this fiscal year.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

In the future, we intend to establish a nominating and corporate governance committee.  The primary purpose of the nominating and corporate governance committee will be to identify individuals qualified to become directors, recommend to the Board of Directors the candidates for election by stockholders or appointment by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy, recommend to the Board of Directors the composition and chairs of Board of Directors committees, develop and recommend to the Board of Directors guidelines for effective corporate governance, and lead an annual review of the performance of the Board of Directors and each of its committees.  We do not have any formal process for stockholders to nominate a director for election to our Board of Directors.  Currently, nominations are selected or recommended by a majority of the independent directors as stated in Section 804(a) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate,” as defined under the NYSE MKT listing standards.  The NYSE MKT’s listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.  In addition, we must certify to the NYSE MKT that the Audit Committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.  The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Prins and Shenoy satisfy the NYSE MKT’s definition of financial sophistication and qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Board and Committee Meetings

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, there were thirteen Board meetings, five meetings of the Audit Committee and four Compensation Committee meetings, all of which were attended by all of our directors of the Board and all of the members of the committees, respectively.  

  

33

Communications with Directors

Any director may be contacted by writing to him c/o the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices.  Communications to the non-management directors as a group may be sent to the Independent Directors c/o the Secretary of the Company at the same address.  We will promptly forward, without screening other than normal security procedures for all our mail, all correspondence to the indicated director or directors.

Indemnification Agreements

We are party to indemnification agreements with each of the executive officers and directors.  Such indemnification agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law.   Under the terms of the indemnification agreements, we intend to agree to indemnify our officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the independent director in connection with any proceeding if the officer or director acted in good faith and did not derive an improper personal benefit from the transaction or occurrence that is the basis of the proceeding.

Annual Meeting Attendance

We do not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend stockholder meetings but we encourage members of the Board of Directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

A code of business conduct and ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote (a) honest and ethical conduct, (b) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements, (c) compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, (d) the prompt reporting violation of the code and (e) accountability for adherence to the code.  The Company has adopted a written code of ethics (the “Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics”) that applies to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, including the Company’s Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions (collectively, the “Senior Financial Officers”) in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the NYSE MKT.  Investors may view our Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics on the corporate governance subsection of the investor relations portion of our website at www.igcinc.us.  The Company has established separate audit and compensation committees that are described below.  The Company does not have a separate nominating committee.  Accordingly, Board of Director nominations occur by either selection or recommendation of a majority of the independent directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of their ownership of shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such executive officers, directors and stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  Based solely upon review of the copies of such reports received by us, our senior management believes that all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were filed in a timely manner.

Item 11.                Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Policy

Our Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve, or in some cases recommend for the approval of the full Board of Directors the annual compensation for the executive officers of our company.  This Committee has the responsibility for establishing, implementing and monitoring our compensation strategy and policy.  Among its principal duties, the Committee ensures that the total compensation of the executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive.

34

Objectives and Philosophies of Compensation

The primary objective of our compensation policy, including the executive compensation policy, is to help attract and retain qualified, energetic managers who are enthusiastic about our mission and products and services.  The policy is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual and long-term strategic goals aligning executive performance with company growth and stockholder value.  In addition, the Board of Directors strives to promote an ownership mentality among key leaders and the Board of Directors.

The compensation policy is designed to reward performance.  In measuring executive officers’ contribution to our company, the Compensation Committee considers numerous factors including our growth and financial performance as measured by revenue, gross margin and net income before taxes, among other key performance indicators.  Regarding most compensation matters, including executive and director compensation, management provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committee does not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation.  The Compensation Committee does not currently engage any consultant related to executive or director compensation matters.

Stock price performance has not been a factor in determining annual compensation because the trading price of shares of our common stock is subject to a variety of factors outside of management’s control.  We do not subscribe to an exact formula for allocating cash and non-cash compensation.  However, a significant percentage of total executive compensation is performance-based.  Historically, the majority of the incentives to executives have been in the form of non-cash incentives in order to better align the goals of executives with the goals of stockholders.

Elements of Company’s Compensation Plan

The principal components of compensation for our executive officers are:

- base salary,

-   performance-based incentive cash compensation,

-   right to purchase our common stock at a preset price (via stock options), and

-   retirement and other benefits.

Base Salary

We provide named executive officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year.  Base salary ranges for named executive officers are determined for each executive based on his or her position and responsibility.  During its review of base salaries for executives, the Committee primarily considers:

- market data,

- internal review of the executives’ compensation, both individually and relative to other officers, and

-   individual performance of the executive.

Salary levels are typically evaluated annually as part of our performance review process, as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

The management incentive plan gives the Committee the latitude to design cash and stock-based incentive compensation programs to promote high performance and achievement of corporate goals, encourage the growth of stockholder value and allow key employees to participate in the long-term growth and profitability of our company.

Ownership Guidelines

To align the interests of the Board of Directors directly with the interests of the stockholders, the Committee recommends that each Board member maintain a minimum ownership interest in our company.  Currently, the Compensation Committee recommends that each Board member own a minimum of 5,000 shares of our common stock with such stock to be acquired within a reasonable time following election to the Board.

Employee Stock Option Program

The employee stock option program assists us to:

- enhance the link between the creation of stockholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation,

- provide an opportunity for increased equity ownership by executives, and

- maintain competitive levels of total compensation.

Stock option award levels will be determined based on market data and will vary among participants based on their positions within the company and are granted at the Committee’s regularly scheduled meeting.

As of March 31, 2016, 130,045 stock options were awarded that expired on June 27, 2016, and 2,214,950 shares of common stock have been awarded. As of March 31, 2017, a total of 3,491,278 shares of common stock have been awarded and there are no options outstanding and exercisable.  As of March 31, 2017, there are no shares of common stock available for future grants of options or stock awards.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We provide some executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions.  The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers.  Some executive officers receive the use of company automobiles and an assistant among other perquisites.  Each employee of our company is entitled to term life insurance, premiums for which are paid by us.  In addition, each employee is entitled to receive certain medical and dental benefits, part of the cost of which the employee funds.

Accounting and Tax Considerations

Our stock option grant policy will be impacted by the implementation of FASB ASC 718 (previously referred to as SFAS No. 123R), which was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.  Under this accounting pronouncement, we are required to value unvested stock options granted prior to the adoption of FASB ASC 718 under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the stock option’s remaining vesting period.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code restricts deductibility of executive compensation paid to our chief executive officer and each of the four other most highly compensated executive officers holding office at the end of any year to the extent such compensation exceeds $1,000,000 for any of such officers in any year and does not qualify for an exception under Section 162(m) or related regulations.  The Committee’s policy is to qualify its executive compensation for deductibility under applicable tax laws to the extent practicable.  In the future, the Committee will continue to evaluate the advisability of qualifying its executive compensation for full deductibility.

Compensation for Executive Officers of the Company

We pay an affiliate of our CEO $4,500 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services, provided in Maryland and $6,100 per month for facilities provided in Washington State.  These amounts are not intended as compensation to our CEO.

Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 are included in Note 16, “Stock-Based Compensation” to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, included in this report.  The Company cautions that the amounts reported in the Director Compensation Table for these awards may not represent the amounts that the directors will actually realize from the awards.  Whether, and to what extent, a director realizes value will depend on the Company’s actual operating performance and stock price fluctuations.

Please see Note 12-Related Party Transactions for more information.

Employment Contracts

Ram Mukunda has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of our company since its inception.  On May 22, 2008, we, IGC-M and Mr. Mukunda entered into an Employment Agreement that expired on May 21, 2014.  On July 14, 2014 we, IGC-M and Mr. Mukunda entered into the 2014 Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the 2014 Employment Agreement, which will be effective until July 2019, we pay Mr. Mukunda a base salary of $300 thousand per year.  The Employment Agreement provides that the Board of Directors of our company may review and update the targets and amounts for the net revenue and salary and contract bonuses on an annual basis.  Mr. Mukunda is entitled to benefits, including insurance, participation in company-wide 401(K), reimbursement of business expenses, 20 days of annual paid vacation, sick leave, domestic help, driver, cook and a car (subject to partial reimbursement by Mr. Mukunda of lease payments for the car and reimbursement of business expenses).

The term of the Employment Agreement is five years, extended by one year after which employment will become at-will.  The Employment Agreement is terminable by us for death, disability and cause.  In the event of a termination without cause, including a change of control, we would be required to pay Mr. Mukunda his full compensation for three years.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the risks to our stockholders and to achievement of our goals that may be inherent in our compensation programs.  The Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed its assessment with management and outside legal counsel and concluded that our compensation programs are within industry standards and are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward to align employees’ interests with those of our company and do not incent employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks.  Although a portion of our executives’ and employees’ compensation is performance-based and “at risk,” we believe our compensation plans are appropriately structured and are not reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on our company.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose.  Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes those shares of common stock over which the stockholder has sole or shared voting or investment power.  It also includes shares of common stock that the stockholder has a right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right.  The percentage ownership of the outstanding common stock, which is based upon shares of common stock outstanding as of, 2017, is based on the assumption, expressly required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, that only the person or entity whose ownership is being reported has exercised options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.  Unless otherwise noted, the nature of the ownership set forth in the table below is common stock of the Company.  The table below sets forth as of, 2017, except as noted in the footnotes to the table, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock by (i) all persons or groups, according to the most recent Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise known to us, to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, (ii) each director of the Company, (iii) the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, and (iv) all such executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.

Item 13.                Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

During the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had direct or indirect material interest, nor are there any such transactions presently proposed, other than the agreements with the affiliates of our CEO, and CFO as described under “Executive Compensation – Compensation for Executive Officers of the Company.”

We are party to indemnification agreements with each of the executive officers and director.  Such indemnification agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions 

We do not maintain a formal written procedure for the review and approval of transactions with related persons.  It is our policy for the disinterested members of our Board to review all related party transactions on a case-by-case basis.  To receive approval, a related-party transaction must have a business purpose for us and be on terms that are fair and reasonable to us and as favorable to us as would be available from non-related entities in comparable transactions.

Director Independence 

The NYSE MKT, upon which our shares are listed, requires the majority of our Board to be “independent.”  The NYSE MKT listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer or an employee of the company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.  Consistent with these standards, the Board of Directors has determined that Richard Prins and Sudhakar Shenoy are independent directors.

Item 14.                Principal Accountant Fees and Services 

AJSH & Co LLP, Chartered Accountants (“AJSH & Co LLP”) is our Principal Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm engaged to examine our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.  During the Company’s most two recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and through the date of this filing, the Company did not consult with AJSH & Co LLP on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and AJSH & Co LLP have not provided either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the audit committee of our Board of Directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor.  In recognition of this responsibility, our Board of Directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.  Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management may submit, if necessary, an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following four categories of services to our Board of Directors for approval.

1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards.

2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3. Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

4. Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories.

Prior to engagement, our Board of Directors pre-approves these services by category of service.  The fees are budgeted and our Board of Directors requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service.  During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval.  In those instances, our Board of Directors requires specific pre-approval before engaging the independent auditor.

Our audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members.  The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to our Board of Directors at its next scheduled meeting.

Pre-Approved Services

The Audit Committee’s charter provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related and tax services to be performed by the independent auditors.  The Audit Committee approved the audit, audit-related and tax services to be performed by independent auditors and tax professionals in 2017.  The charter also authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services.  The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.  The Audit Committee has not delegated such authority to its members.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of the Board is composed of two directors, each of whom meets the current NYSE MKT test for independence.  The Committee acts under a written charter adopted by the Board.  The Audit Committee has prepared the following report on its activities with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 (the “Audited Financial Statements”):

·   The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s Audited Financial Statements with management;

·   The Audit Committee discussed with AJSH & Co LLP the Company’s independent auditors for fiscal year 2017, the matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU §380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T;

·   The Audit Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures regarding auditor independence and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), discussed with AJSH & Co LLP, its independence from the Company and its management, and considered whether AJSH & Co LLP’s provision of non-audit services to the Company was compatible with the auditor’s independence; and

·   Based on the review and discussion referred to above, and in reliance thereon, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Audited Financial Statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) Formerly known as IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited.

(2) Formerly known as Golden Gate Electronics Limited. 

As at April 1, 2016 our operational subsidiaries were in China, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia.  As at March 31, 2017 our operational subsidiaries are in India and Malaysia.

In October 2014, pursuant to a Memorandum of Settlement with Sricon, one of our Indian subsidiaries, and related parties and in exchange for the 22% minority interest we had in Sricon, we received approximately five acres of prime land in Nagpur, India. The land is located a few miles from MIHAN, which is the largest development zone in terms of investment in India. The Company beneficially registered the land in its name on March 4, 2016.

On December 30, 2011, IGC acquired a 95% equity interest in Linxi HeFei Economic and Trade Co., aka Linxi H&F Economic and Trade Co., a People’s Republic of China-based company (“PRC Ironman”) by acquiring 100% of the equity of H&F Ironman Limited, a Hong Kong company (“HK Ironman”).  Collectively, PRC Ironman and HK Ironman are referred to as “Ironman.”  PRC Ironman is engaged in the processing of iron ore at its beneficiation plant on 2.2 square kilometers of hills in southwest Linxi in the autonomous region of eastern Inner Mongolia, under the administration of Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, which is located 250 miles from Beijing, 185 miles from Tianjin Port and 125 miles from Jinzhou Port and well connected by roads, planes and railroad.

On February 2, 2015, IGC filed a lawsuit in the circuit court of Maryland, against 24 defendants related to the acquisition of Ironman, seeking to have the court order rescission of the underlying Acquisition Agreement and to void any past or future transfer of IGC shares to the defendants.  As of March 31, 2017, IGC has redeemed and subsequently retired, as required by Maryland State law, part of the 3,150,000 shares of common stock issued in connection with its purchase of Ironman, as a treasury stock transaction, thus reducing IGC’s investment in Ironman to zero while still pursuing any and all legal avenues to recover as many of the originally issued shares as possible.

In January 2013, we incorporated IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited (“IGC-HK”), whose name we later changed to IGC Cleantech Ltd (“IGC-CT”).  Please see Note 25 Subsequent Events for an update.

On May 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Golden Gate Electronics Limited, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong and now known as IGC International (“IGC-INT”).  IGC-INT, headquartered in Hong Kong, operates an e-commerce platform for trading of commodities and electronic components.  The purchase price of the acquisition consisted of up to 1,209,765 shares of our common stock, valued at approximately $1,052,496 on the closing date of the acquisition. As previously announced we curtailed activity in IGC-INT and since the quarter ended June 30, 2016 we have no revenue. We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition.  As of March 31, 2017, we exited the business. We retired 205,661 shares of common stock, and returned control of IGC International to the original owners.  We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition. We have no disputes with the initial principals of Golden Gate.

On June 27, 2014, we entered into an agreement with TerraSphere Systems, LLC to develop multiple facilities to produce organic leafy green vegetables utilizing TerraSphere’s advanced pesticide-free organic indoor farming technology.  Under the agreement, we will own 51% of each venture once production is operational, and will have a right of first refusal to participate in all future build-outs.  In fiscal 2018, we expect to convert this investment into shares of a public Canadian company where assets including this project is being merged.

On December 18, 2014, we acquired 24.9% of the outstanding membership interests in Midtown Partners, a Florida limited liability company registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from Apogee Financial Investments, Inc.  The Purchase Agreement expired on June 30, 2015, and the Company is pursuing its rights under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to recover certain damages.

In February 2016, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding share capital of Cabaran Ultima Sdn. Bhd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Ultima”), from RGF Land Sdn. Bhd. (“Land”), the sole shareholder of Ultima, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement among the parties. Ultima holds 51% of RGF Cabaran Sdn. Bhd., which holds 75% of RGF Construction Sdn. Bhd. The purchase price of the acquisition consists of up to 998,571 shares of our common stock, valued at $169,757 on the closing date of the Share Purchase Agreement. Ultima and its management’s expertise include the following: (i) building agro-infrastructure for growing medicinal plants and botanical extraction, and (ii) construction of high-end luxury complexes such as service apartments, luxury condominiums and hotels.

In August 2016, we subscribed to 10% of Brilliant Hallmark, Sdn. Bhd. a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Malaysia (“Brilliant”).  We paid 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a Fair Market Value of $1.88 million for the 10% stake in Brilliant that holds the exclusive rights to build a hotel and develop the property in Genting Malaysia.  IGC had recourse to the land assets in the event of non-performance through a separate Tag Along Agreement dated August 1, 2016 between IGC on the one hand and RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., the shareholders of RGF Land Sdn. Bhd., and Brilliant on the other hand. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement, Brilliant assigned, sold, and transferred to IGC 11 shares of Brilliant, which shares constituted 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Brilliant.  Likewise, as a consideration for the transaction, IGC issued to Brilliant the 4 million shares of its common stock.  Please see Note 25 Subsequent Events for further information.

 b)  Merger and Accounting Treatment

Most of the shares of Sricon and TBL when acquired were purchased directly from the companies.  The shares of Ironman, Golden Gate, and Cabaran Ultima were acquired from the shareholders of each company.

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to the “Company”, “IGC”, “IGC Inc.”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to India Globalization Capital, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries as described in Note 1 Business Organization and Corporate History.  As of March 31, 2017, IGC and its subsidiaries derived all of its revenue from one segment, its construction management and heavy equipment rental business and we exited the electronics business. The corporate structure of our company’s direct and indirect consolidated operating subsidiaries is as follows:

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)             Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. The financial statements of the parent company and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line by line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances and transactions and resulting unrealized gain or loss. Operating results of companies acquired are included from the dates of acquisition. 

b)             Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements result from the accounting for non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries.  Non-controlling interests represent the subsidiaries’ earnings and components of other comprehensive income that are attributed to the non-controlling parties’ equity interests.  The Company consolidates the subsidiaries into its consolidated financial statements.  Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The non-controlling interest disclosed in the accompanying financial statements for fiscal year 2017 represent the non-controlling interest in Cabaran Ultima’s subsidiaries and the profits or losses associated with the non-controlling interest in those operations.

The adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-65 “Consolidation — Transition and Open Effective Date Information” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”), has resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest (now referred to as non-controlling interest) to a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).  Additionally, net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown separately from net income in the consolidated statements of income.  This reclassification had no effect on our previously reported financial position or results of operations.

c)             Reclassifications 

We are reclassifying $2,192,226 loans from current liability to non-current liability, as management does not expect to pay these loans back within 12 months.

d)             Use of estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; future obligations under employee benefit plans; the useful lives of property, plant, equipment; intangible assets; the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination; impairment of goodwill and investments; recoverability of advances; the valuation of options granted and warrants issued; and income tax and deferred tax valuation allowances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.  Critical accounting estimates could change from period to period and could have a material impact on IGC’s results, operations, financial position and cash flows. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

e)             Revenue Recognition 

The majority of the revenue recognized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries, when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract. 

For the sale of goods, the timing of the transfer of substantial risks and rewards of ownership is based on the contract terms negotiated with the buyer, e.g., FOB or CIF.  We consider the guidance provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 in determining revenue from sales of goods.  Considerations have been given to all four conditions for revenue recognition under that guidance.  The four conditions are:

- Contract – Persuasive evidence of our arrangement with the customers;

- Delivery – Based on the terms of the contracts, the Company assesses whether the underlying goods have been delivered and therefore the risks and rewards of ownership are completely transferred;

- Fixed or determinable price – The Company enters into contracts where the price for the goods being sold is fixed and not contingent upon other factors.

- Collection is deemed probable – At the time of recognition of revenue, the Company makes an assessment of its ability to collect the receivable arising on the sale of the goods and determines that collection is probable.

Revenue for any sale is recognized only if all of the four conditions set forth above are met.  The Company assesses these criteria at the time of each sale.  In the absence of meeting any of the criteria set out above, the Company defers revenue recognition until all of the four conditions are met.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:

(a)           Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.

(b)           Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method and the percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost.  Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete, and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable.

- In many of the fixed price contracts entered into by the Company, significant expenses are incurred in the mobilization stage in the early stages of the contract.  The expenses include those that are incurred in the transportation of machinery, erection of heavy machinery, clearing of the campsite, workshop ground cost, overheads, etc.  All such costs are booked to deferred expenses and written off over the period in proportion to revenues earned.

- Where the modifications of the original contract are such that they effectively add to the existing scope of the contract, the same are treated as a change orders.  On the other hand, where the modifications are such that they change or add an altogether new scope, these are accounted for as a separate new contract.  The Company adjusts contract revenue and costs in connection with change orders only when both, the customer and the Company with respect to both the scope and invoicing and payment terms, approve them.

- In the event of claims in our percentage of completion contracts, the additional contract revenue relating to claims is only accounted after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority.  The contract claims are considered in the percentage of completion only after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority. 

Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.

Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.

f)              Earnings per common share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution from all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options.

g)             Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established and recorded when management determines that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized and therefore, it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position.  If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company’s financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

The issuance by IGC of its common stock to (1) Ironman stockholders in exchange for Ironman stock; to (2) Golden Gate Electronics Ltd (“GG”) in exchange for GG stock; to (3) Apogee Financial in exchange for a membership interest in Midtown Partners, LLC; to (4) Cabaran Ultima (“Ultima”) in exchange for Ultima’s stock, and to (5) Brilliant Hallmark, as contemplated by the respective stock purchase agreements between the Company and Ironman and their stockholders; between the Company and Golden Gate Electronics Ltd and its stockholders; between the Company and Apogee Financial and their stockholders; and between the Company and Cabaran Ultima and its stockholders, generally will not be taxable transactions to U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  It is expected that IGC and its stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss from these transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

h)             Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America, Mauritius, India, and Malaysia, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits.  

i)             Left intentionally blank

j)             Foreign currency transactions

IGC operates in India and Malaysia and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in INR, and RM, as of those respective operations. As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and INR or the RM affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The INR, HKD, RMB and the RM are the functional currencies for the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as follows:

		Period End Average Rate				Period End Rate
Period		(P&L rate)				(Balance sheet rate)
Year ended March 31, 2017	INR	67.01	per	USD	INR	64.85	per	USD
	RMB	6.69	per	USD	RMB	6.95	per	USD
	HKD	7.76	per	USD	HKD	7.77	per	USD
	RM	4.20	per	USD	RM	4.42	per	USD
Year ended March 31, 2016	INR	65.39	per	USD	INR	66.25	per	USD
	RMB	6.32	per	USD	RMB	6.44	per	USD
	HKD	7.76	per	USD	HKD	7.76	per	USD
	RM	4.11	per	USD	RM	3.90	per	USD

k)             Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers in the electronics business were recorded at the invoiced amount, taking into consideration any adjustments made for returns.  Also, the Company evaluates the collectability of selected accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis and makes adjustments to the bad debt reserve for expected losses.  For all other accounts, the Company estimates reserves for bad debts based on general aging, experience and past-due status of the accounts. When applicable, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by evaluating the relative credit worthiness of each client, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables.  If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of recoverability would be further adjusted.

Regarding our collection policy on electronics trading receivables, there were three types of trades: (1) payment guaranteed through letters of credit, (2) deposit or spot payment on delivery or (3) delivery on credit. With the first type of trade: our policy for collection is to ask the customer to open a letter of credit with a bank. The typical terms of the letter of credit are that 100% of the payment is made when the material is shipped.  With the second type of trade, customers pay on delivery.  On the third type of trade, our policy is to allow the customer to have a payment credit term of 90 days.

l)              Left intentionally blank

m)            Left intentionally blank

n)             Investments

Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs.  The Company’s equity in the earnings/(losses) of affiliates is included in the statement of income and the Company’s share of net assets of affiliates is included in the balance sheet.  Where the Company’s ownership interest is in excess of 20% the Company has accounted for the investment based on the equity method, as in the case of Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“MTP”). 

o)             Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E)

Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

Buildings	5-25 years
Plant and machinery	10-20 years
Computer equipment	3-5 years
Office equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years
Vehicles	5-10 years

Upon retirement or disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property and equipment are de-recognized from the books of accounts and the gain or loss is reflected in the results of operation.  Cost of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are capitalized in the books of accounts.  The cost of maintenance and repairs of the property and equipment are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

p)             Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items.

q)             Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash, investments and derivatives in highly rated financial institutions.  The Company adheres to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains credit rating minimums and diversification requirements.  Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk.  The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral.

During this fiscal year, sales were spread across many customers in Hong Kong, China, India and Malaysia, and the credit concentration risk is low.

 t)            Employee Benefits Plan

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories of employees.  The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company.  In addition, all employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan.  The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary.  The contribution is made to the Government’s provident fund.

At this time, the Company does not participate in a multi-employer defined contribution plan in China to provide employees with certain retirement, medical and other fringe benefits because the Company has exited the business in China.   In the United States, we provide health insurance, life insurance, and 401-K benefits.

u)             Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

v)    Accounting for goodwill and related impairment

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of our share of net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is disclosed separately.  Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses incurred, if any.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Company defines as each subsidiary.  ASC 350 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets upon adoption, but requires that they be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as warranted, at the reporting unit level.

Pursuant to ASC 350-20-35-4 through 35-19, the impairment testing of goodwill is a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed.

In ASC 350.20.20, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment.  A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.  The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment.  While the Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the consolidated financial information for the purposes of decisions relating to resource allocation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on an as-need basis, looks at the financial statements of the individual legal entities in India for the limited purpose of consolidation.  Given the existence of discrete financial statements at an individual entity level in India, the Company believes that each of these entities constitute a separate reporting unit under a single operating segment.

Therefore, the first step in the impairment testing for goodwill is the identification of reporting units and the allocation of goodwill to these reporting units.  Accordingly, Cabaran Ultima, which is the legal entities in Malaysia, is also considered separate reporting units and therefore the Company believes that the assessment of goodwill impairment at the subsidiaries level, which are also a reporting unit each, is appropriate.

The analysis of fair value is based on the estimate of the recoverable value of the underlying assets.  For long-lived assets such as land, the Company obtains appraisals from independent professional appraisers to determine the recoverable value.  For other assets such as receivables, the recoverable value is determined based on an assessment of the collectability and any potential losses due to default by the counter parties.  Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.

w)             Impairment of long – lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable.  Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information and impact of changes in government policies.  For assets that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets.  For assets the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets.  Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows.

x)        Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (DVA) when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. The company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements.

The Company has conducted a preliminary assessment of liabilities arising out of these matters and has recognized provisional amounts in its initial accounting for the Acquisition for all identified liabilities in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 805. However, the Company is continuing its review of these matters during the measurement period, and if new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the Acquisition date identifies adjustments to the liabilities initially recognized, as well as any additional liabilities that existed at the Acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to the provisional amounts initially recognized.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE AND LOANS - OTHERS

On October 16, 2009, the Company consummated the sale of a promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Bricoleur Note”) to Bricoleur Partners, L.P. (‘Bricoleur’). There was no cash interest payable on the Note and the Note had an initial maturity date of October 16, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”).  Prior to the Maturity Date, the Company could pre-pay the Bricoleur Note at any time without penalty or premium and the Note was unsecured. The Note was not convertible into the Company’s Common Stock or other securities of the Company. However, under the Note and Share Purchase Agreement (the “Bricoleur Note and Share Purchase Agreement”), effective as of October 16, 2009, by and among the Company and Bricoleur, as additional consideration for the investment in the Bricoleur Note, IGC issued 53,000 shares of Common Stock to Bricoleur. In February-March 2011, the Company finalized an agreement with Bricoleur to exchange the loan promissory note issued to Bricoleur on October 16, 2009 (the “Bricoleur Note”) for new a new loan with later maturity dates. The Bricoleur Note was extended to June 30, 2011 with no prior payments due and with no cash interest.  The Company issued additional 68,850 shares of its common stock to Bricoleur in connection with the extension of the term regarding the Bricoleur note.  As reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 9, 2012, the Company and Bricoleur agreed to exchange the 2011 Note for a new note (the “2012 Note”), which bore no cash interest with a new maturity of December 31, 2012.  In consideration for the exchange, the Company issued 30,000 shares of IGC to Bricoleur and issued additional 34,200 shares for February and March 2013 as non-tax-deductible payments that were booked as interest.  Effective March 31, 2013, the Company and Bricoleur Partners, L.P. agreed to amend the outstanding $1,800,000 loan (“2012 Security”), subject to the same terms of the 2012 Agreement, to extend the maturity date of the 2012 Security from July 31, 2014 to July 31, 2016.  Contractually, there is no cash interest paid to Bricoleur on the Note. Instead, the parties have agreed that the Company will make a payment (booked under interest payment) of 30,000 shares of common stock for each month the loan remains unpaid, regardless of the trading price of the stock. The arrangement allows the Company and Bricoleur to pursue permanent conversion of the principal to common stock, or repayment of the principal using common stock.  During the years ended March 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Company issued a total of 205,200, 232,823 305,357 and 333,956 shares each year valued at $270,522, $204,031, $114,678 and $129,816, respectively, to this debt holder, which constitutes non-tax-deductible interest payments for the Company.

The Company’s total interest expense was $223,464 for the year ended March 31, 2017 and $213,928 for the year ended March 31, 2016, respectively.  No interest was capitalized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.

NOTE 12 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

We pay an affiliate of our CEO $4,500 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services rendered in Maryland.  In addition, we pay another affiliate of our CEO $6,100 per month for office and facilities in Washington State.  We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, and Washington State that the fee charged by the affiliates are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party and these payments are not considered, or meant to be compensation to our CEO.  The rental agreement for the Maryland location is on a month-to-month basis and may be terminated by our Board of Directors of the Company at any time without notice. The rental agreement for Washington State facilities expires on December 31, 2017, unless renewed by mutual consent.  During fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the total rent paid to the affiliates were $54,000 for the office space (and services) in Maryland, and $73,200 for the facilities in Washington State. We expect that these expenses will remain at approximately this level during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.

All compensation paid to our CFO, including the 300,000 stock grants, and monthly compensation, are paid to an affiliate of our CFO, specifically a limited liability company (LLC) wholly owned by our CFO.   There are no payments, other than what is mentioned in this filing, that have been made to the CFO directly or to his LLC.  The Company treats payments and issuances of stock made to the LLC as if they are made directly to our CFO.

Loans by Related Parties:

During fiscal 2015 and part of fiscal 2016, the Company had working capital loans with a U.S. commercial bank for $250,000 at a variable interest rate ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%.  These loans are interest only loans that are personally guaranteed and securitized by our CEO.   As of March 31, 2017, these loans have been repaid.

During fiscal 2016, the Company had Hong Kong based banking facilities for $1,038,961 whose principal, interest, and other charges were guaranteed by our CEO and Sunny Tsang, the Managing Director and Founder of IGC International.  As of fiscal year end 2017, IGC and our CEO no longer guarantee these loans because IGC no longer owns IGC International.

 As of March 31, 2017, the Company has a net unpaid balance of $97,105 in compensation to our CEO.

We have a loan of $97,500 from an affiliate of our CEO, at an annual interest rate of zero percent, due February 23, 2022. There is no prepayment penalty.  This loan is shown Loan 5 in Note 7.

NOTE 23 – CERTAIN AGED RECEIVABLES

The receivable and other assets as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 include certain aged receivables in the amount of $430,689.  The aged receivables are due from the Cochin International Airport.  Cochin International Airport is partially owned by the State Government of Kerala.  The receivables have been due for periods in excess of one year as of March 31, 2017.  These receivables are included in Accounts Receivable and have been classified as current for the following reasons:

The Company’s subsidiary in India, TBL, worked on the building of an airport runway at the Cochin International Airport. During the execution of these projects the clients of the Company requested several changes to the engineering drawings.  The claims of the Company against each of the clients involve reimbursement of expenses associated with the change orders and variances as well as compensation for delays caused by the client.  The delay part of the claim involves equipment that is idle on the job, including interest or lease charges for the equipment while it is idle, and workers that are idle, among others.  The expense reimbursement involves cost of new material including any escalation in the cost of materials, usage of equipment, personnel and other charges that were incurred as a result of the delays caused by the change orders.  These invoices were disputed by the clients and referred to arbitration. The process of arbitration involves each party choosing an arbitrator and the arbitrators appointing a third chief arbitrator. Each party then presents its case over several months and the arbitrator makes an award.

The receivables occurred and became due when TBL won the arbitration award against Cochin International Airport on July 22, 2009. The arbitration awards stipulate that interest be accrued for the period of non-payment.  However, the receivables do not have an interest component as the Company will try and use the accrued interest as negotiating leverage for an earlier payment. Although the receivables are contractually due, and hence its classification as current, it may take the Company anywhere from the next 30 days to 6 months to actually realize the funds, depending on final verdict to happen in few months.  The Company continues to carry the full value of the receivables without interest and without any impairment, because the Company believes that there is minimal risk that these organizations will become insolvent and unable to make payment.

(“Brilliant”) free and clear of all encumbrances in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of our common stock.  On April 3, 2017, IGC sold back its ten percent holding in Brilliant Hallmark for a consideration of 4 million shares of IGC’s Common Stock that will be returned and retired, thereby reducing the outstanding IGC shares.  The Brilliant Hallmark investment will, once the IGC shares are retired, be removed from the IGC balance sheet, with an associated reduction of approximately $1,880,000. The Company does not expect to record a gain or loss from this transaction.

In April 2017, we closed a non-operational Hong Kong based subsidiary that we incorporated in January 2013 named IGC HK Mining and Trading Limited (“IGC-HK”), whose name we later changed to IGC Cleantech Ltd (“IGC-CT”).

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

Mar. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. The financial statements of the parent company and its majority owned or controlled subsidiaries have been combined on a line by line basis by adding together the book values of all items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses after eliminating all inter-company balances and transactions and resulting unrealized gain or loss. Operating results of companies acquired are included from the dates of acquisition.

Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements result from the accounting for non-controlling interests in its subsidiaries.  Non-controlling interests represent the subsidiaries’ earnings and components of other comprehensive income that are attributed to the non-controlling parties’ equity interests.  The Company consolidates the subsidiaries into its consolidated financial statements.  Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The non-controlling interest disclosed in the accompanying financial statements for fiscal year 2017 represent the non-controlling interest in Cabaran Ultima’s subsidiaries and the profits or losses associated with the non-controlling interest in those operations.

The adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10-65 “Consolidation — Transition and Open Effective Date Information” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51”), has resulted in the reclassification of amounts previously attributable to minority interest (now referred to as non-controlling interest) to a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).  Additionally, net income attributable to non-controlling interest is shown separately from net income in the consolidated statements of income.  This reclassification had no effect on our previously reported financial position or results of operations.

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Reclassifications 

We are reclassifying $2,192,226 loans from current liability to non-current liability, as management does not expect to pay these loans back within 12 months.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable.  Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; future obligations under employee benefit plans; the useful lives of property, plant, equipment; intangible assets; the valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination; impairment of goodwill and investments; recoverability of advances; the valuation of options granted and warrants issued; and income tax and deferred tax valuation allowances.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.  Critical accounting estimates could change from period to period and could have a material impact on IGC’s results, operations, financial position and cash flows. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition 

The majority of the revenue recognized for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was derived from the Company’s subsidiaries, when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when substantial risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer under the terms of the contract. 

For the sale of goods, the timing of the transfer of substantial risks and rewards of ownership is based on the contract terms negotiated with the buyer, e.g., FOB or CIF.  We consider the guidance provided under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 in determining revenue from sales of goods.  Considerations have been given to all four conditions for revenue recognition under that guidance.  The four conditions are:

- Contract – Persuasive evidence of our arrangement with the customers;

- Delivery – Based on the terms of the contracts, the Company assesses whether the underlying goods have been delivered and therefore the risks and rewards of ownership are completely transferred;

- Fixed or determinable price – The Company enters into contracts where the price for the goods being sold is fixed and not contingent upon other factors.

- Collection is deemed probable – At the time of recognition of revenue, the Company makes an assessment of its ability to collect the receivable arising on the sale of the goods and determines that collection is probable.

Revenue for any sale is recognized only if all of the four conditions set forth above are met.  The Company assesses these criteria at the time of each sale.  In the absence of meeting any of the criteria set out above, the Company defers revenue recognition until all of the four conditions are met.

Revenue from construction/project related activity and contracts for supply/commissioning of complex plant and equipment is recognized as follows:

(a)           Cost plus contracts: Contract revenue is determined by adding the aggregate cost plus proportionate margin as agreed with the customer and expected to be realized.

(b)           Fixed price contracts: Contract revenue is recognized using the percentage completion method and the percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of cost incurred-to-date to the total estimated contract cost.  Changes in estimates for revenues, costs to complete, and profit margins are recognized in the period in which they are reasonably determinable.

- In many of the fixed price contracts entered into by the Company, significant expenses are incurred in the mobilization stage in the early stages of the contract.  The expenses include those that are incurred in the transportation of machinery, erection of heavy machinery, clearing of the campsite, workshop ground cost, overheads, etc.  All such costs are booked to deferred expenses and written off over the period in proportion to revenues earned.

- Where the modifications of the original contract are such that they effectively add to the existing scope of the contract, the same are treated as a change orders.  On the other hand, where the modifications are such that they change or add an altogether new scope, these are accounted for as a separate new contract.  The Company adjusts contract revenue and costs in connection with change orders only when both, the customer and the Company with respect to both the scope and invoicing and payment terms, approve them.

- In the event of claims in our percentage of completion contracts, the additional contract revenue relating to claims is only accounted after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority.  The contract claims are considered in the percentage of completion only after the proper award of the claim by the competent authority. 

Full provision is made for any loss in the period in which it is foreseen.

Revenue from service related activities and miscellaneous other contracts are recognized when the service is rendered using the proportionate completion method or completed service contract method.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Earnings per common share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution from all potentially dilutive securities such as stock warrants and options.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  A valuation allowance is established and recorded when management determines that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized and therefore, it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position.  If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company’s financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.  As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

The issuance by IGC of its common stock to (1) Ironman stockholders in exchange for Ironman stock; to (2) Golden Gate Electronics Ltd (“GG”) in exchange for GG stock; to (3) Apogee Financial in exchange for a membership interest in Midtown Partners, LLC; to (4) Cabaran Ultima (“Ultima”) in exchange for Ultima’s stock, and to (5) Brilliant Hallmark, as contemplated by the respective stock purchase agreements between the Company and Ironman and their stockholders; between the Company and Golden Gate Electronics Ltd and its stockholders; between the Company and Apogee Financial and their stockholders; and between the Company and Cabaran Ultima and its stockholders, generally will not be taxable transactions to U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  It is expected that IGC and its stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss from these transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in the United States of America, Mauritius, India, and Malaysia, which at times may exceed applicable insurance limits.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign currency transactions

IGC operates in India and Malaysia and a substantial portion of the Company’s sales are denominated in INR, and RM, as of those respective operations. As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and INR or the RM affect revenues and profits as the results are translated into U.S. dollars in the consolidated and pro forma financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. The INR, HKD, RMB and the RM are the functional currencies for the Company. The translation of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenues, costs and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity. The exchange rates used for translation purposes are as follows:

		Period End Average Rate				Period End Rate
Period		(P&L rate)				(Balance sheet rate)
Year ended March 31, 2017	INR	67.01	per	USD	INR	64.85	per	USD

	HKD	7.76	per	USD	HKD	7.76	per	USD
	RM	4.11	per	USD	RM	3.90	per	USD

Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable from customers in the electronics business were recorded at the invoiced amount, taking into consideration any adjustments made for returns.  Also, the Company evaluates the collectability of selected accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis and makes adjustments to the bad debt reserve for expected losses.  For all other accounts, the Company estimates reserves for bad debts based on general aging, experience and past-due status of the accounts. When applicable, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of clients to make required payments.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by evaluating the relative credit worthiness of each client, historical collections experience and other information, including the aging of the receivables.  If circumstances related to customers change, estimates of recoverability would be further adjusted.

Regarding our collection policy on electronics trading receivables, there were three types of trades: (1) payment guaranteed through letters of credit, (2) deposit or spot payment on delivery or (3) delivery on credit. With the first type of trade: our policy for collection is to ask the customer to open a letter of credit with a bank. The typical terms of the letter of credit are that 100% of the payment is made when the material is shipped.  With the second type of trade, customers pay on delivery.  On the third type of trade, our policy is to allow the customer to have a payment credit term of 90 days.

Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Investments

Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs.  The Company’s equity in the earnings/(losses) of affiliates is included in the statement of income and the Company’s share of net assets of affiliates is included in the balance sheet.  Where the Company’s ownership interest is in excess of 20% the Company has accounted for the investment based on the equity method, as in the case of Midtown Partners & Co., LLC (“MTP”)

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E)

Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:

Buildings	5-25 years
Plant and machinery	10-20 years
Computer equipment	3-5 years
Office equipment	3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures	5-10 years
Vehicles	5-10 years

Upon retirement or disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property and equipment are de-recognized from the books of accounts and the gain or loss is reflected in the results of operation.  Cost of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are capitalized in the books of accounts.  The cost of maintenance and repairs of the property and equipment are charged to operating expenses as incurred

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued employee compensation and benefits and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents, investments, derivatives, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash, investments and derivatives in highly rated financial institutions.  The Company adheres to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains credit rating minimums and diversification requirements.  Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business risk.  The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral.

During this fiscal year, sales were spread across many customers in Hong Kong, China, India and Malaysia, and the credit concentration risk is low.

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan (Gratuity Plan) covering certain categories of employees.  The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees, at retirement or termination of employment, an amount based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company.  In addition, all employees receive benefits from a provident fund, a defined contribution plan.  The employee and employer each make monthly contributions to the plan equal to 12% of the covered employee’s salary.  The contribution is made to the Government’s provident fund.

At this time, the Company does not participate in a multi-employer defined contribution plan in China to provide employees with certain retirement, medical and other fringe benefits because the Company has exited the business in China.   In the United States, we provide health insurance, life insurance, and 401-K benefits.

Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Accounting for goodwill and related impairment

Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of our share of net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.  Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is disclosed separately.  Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses incurred, if any.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others” (previously referred to as SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which sets forth the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition.  ASC 350 requires that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets be allocated to the reporting unit level, which the Company defines as each subsidiary.  ASC 350 also prohibits the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets upon adoption, but requires that they be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as warranted, at the reporting unit level.

Pursuant to ASC 350-20-35-4 through 35-19, the impairment testing of goodwill is a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.  The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill.  If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  After a goodwill impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill shall be its new accounting basis.  Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized goodwill impairment loss is prohibited once the measurement of that loss is completed.

In ASC 350.20.20, a reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment.  A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.  The Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment.  While the Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews the consolidated financial information for the purposes of decisions relating to resource allocation, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on an as-need basis, looks at the financial statements of the individual legal entities in India for the limited purpose of consolidation.  Given the existence of discrete financial statements at an individual entity level in India, the Company believes that each of these entities constitute a separate reporting unit under a single operating segment.

Therefore, the first step in the impairment testing for goodwill is the identification of reporting units and the allocation of goodwill to these reporting units.  Accordingly, Cabaran Ultima, which is the legal entities in Malaysia, is also considered separate reporting units and therefore the Company believes that the assessment of goodwill impairment at the subsidiaries level, which are also a reporting unit each, is appropriate.

The analysis of fair value is based on the estimate of the recoverable value of the underlying assets.  For long-lived assets such as land, the Company obtains appraisals from independent professional appraisers to determine the recoverable value.  For other assets such as receivables, the recoverable value is determined based on an assessment of the collectability and any potential losses due to default by the counter parties.  Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impairment of long – lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable.  Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information and impact of changes in government policies.  For assets that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets.  For assets the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets.  Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available, or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.  The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.  Newly issued ASUs not listed below are expected to have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This ASU requires entities to present separately in OCI the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (DVA) when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. It will also require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. The company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2015-03 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP and is effective on January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements.
