                        The Indian Film Company Limited 
                                (the "Company") 
 
 
                    Changes to Investment Manager Agreement 
 
 
The Indian Film Company Limited, the specialist film investment company, would 
like to announce that the Company has agreed with its Investment Manager, Film 
Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited ("Investment Manager"), a reduction in 
the Investment Management Fee ("Fee"), chargeable under the Investment 
Management Agreement, from 2% of the opening Net Asset Value ("NAV") to 1% of 
the opening NAV.  As the Investment Manager is deemed to be a related party 
under the AIM Rules, the independent directors (which excludes Raghav Bahl), 
having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider the Fee to be 
fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned. 
 
As the general economic conditions show signs of returning consumer confidence, 
the Company expects that the financial year ending 31 March 2011 will see higher 
levels of activity than the financial year ending 31 March 2010. It is expected 
that this will lead to new investments in various projects and an increase in 
the number of projects available for distribution. 
 
In recognition of the lower Fee in relation to the year ending 31 March 2010, 
the Investment Manager may have the opportunity to earn a Fee in excess of 2% 
for the financial years ending 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2012.  Any increase in 
the Fee will be subject to the agreement of the independent directors and may 
require consultation with the Company's Nominated Adviser. It is expected that 
the Fee will return to the level of 2% of the opening NAV for the financial year 
ending 31 March 2013.
