IGC operates on a fiscal year that ends March 31 and expects to file its annual consolidated financial statements with the SEC before June 30, 2008.

From the Company's inception in 2005 to October 3, 2007, IGC's auditors had been the accounting firm of Goldstein Golub Kessler LLP (GGK). On October 3, 2007, the partners of GGK became partners of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP. As a result, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP reviewed the Company's financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

On March 7, 2008, IGC's shareholders approved the acquisitions of Sricon Infrastructure and Techni Bharathi, Ltd. With these acquisitions, most of our operations are now based in India and our Board of Directors made the decision to retain an auditor based in India.

Effective May 5, 2008, the Audit Committee of IGC dismissed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP and appointed Yoganandh and Ram (Y&R), Chartered Accountants as our auditors. Y&R was responsible for auditing both Sricon Infrastructure and Techni Bharathi for the financial years ending March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
