Deferred income tax assets, net of valuation allowances are expected to be realized through future taxable income.  The valuation allowance increased in 2013 by $1.09 million, primarily related to 2013 US net-operating losses.  The company intends to maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of the valuation allowance.  Deferred tax assets relating to foreign acquisitions costs are expected to be utilized. Therefore, those deferred tax assets remain as part of deferred tax assets.

The Company's and/or its subsidiaries’ ability to utilize their net operating loss carry forwards may be significantly limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if the Company or any of its subsidiaries undergoes an “ownership change” as a result of changes in the ownership of the Company's or its subsidiaries’ outstanding stock pursuant to the exercise of the warrants or otherwise. A corporation generally undergoes an “ownership change” when the ownership of its stock, by value, changes by more than 50 percentage points over any three-year testing period. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the amount of post-ownership change taxable income a corporation may offset with pre-ownership change net operating loss carry forwards and certain recognized built-in losses. As of March 31, 2014 IGC could not use its’ net operating losses because it is more likely it will not utilize net operating losses in the foreseeable future.
