Non-controlling interests are valued based on the proportional interest in the fair value of the net assets of the acquired entity.

Ultima is subject to legal and regulatory requirements, including but not limited to those related to taxation matters, in the jurisdiction in which it operates. 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.

The following unaudited pro-forma results of the operations of the Company for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 assume that the Ultima acquisition occurred during the beginning of the comparable period.

As previously announced we have curtailed activity in IGC-INT and for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 we have no revenue. We also impaired the goodwill associated with the acquisition. We are working on required paperwork that will effectively transfer Golden Gate back to the managing director in return for some or all of the IGC common stock that was initially awarded as part of the acquisition. We have realigned our resources to the phytocannabinoid industry and real estate development and international project management industry.

HK Ironman

On December 30, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of H&F Ironman Limited (“HK Ironman”), a Hong Kong company. HK Ironman owns 95% equity in H&F Venture Trade Ltd. aka Linxi Hefei Economic and Trade Co. (“PRC Ironman”). One of IGC’s areas of focus is the export of iron ore to China. HK Ironman through its subsidiary, PRC Ironman, operates a beneficiation plant in China, which converts low-grade iron ore to high-grade iron ore through a dry and wet separation processes. This Acquisition is intended to provide IGC with a platform in China to expand its business and ship low-grade iron ore, which is available for export in India, to China and convert the iron ore to a higher-grade iron ore before selling it to customers in China.

The date of Acquisition, December 30, 2011, is the date on which the Company obtained control of HK Ironman by acquiring control over the majority of the Board of Directors of HK Ironman. The Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combination.” For further information on this acquisition and on purchase price allocation, please refer to Form 10-K for fiscal year ended 2012 filed with the SEC on July 16, 2012. 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 to the defendants-sellers.

Effective December 30, 2016, IGC redeemed and subsequently retired as required by Maryland State law, approximately 2,200,000 shares of its own 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 of 3,150,000.

The impact of such transaction is expressed in the following summary of key Balance Sheet items for each period presented.
